Opinions: What is most holding this team back?

Nah, you don't annoy any of us.. Welcome back

 

The biggest problem with this Titans team.

They're not that great of a damn team.

Talk about giving the Texans false hope? [stupid joke]False hope should be the name of our starting safety. It almost is. Lol [/stupid joke]

We got all super hopped up after three wins. One big one to a good Baltimore team. Then to Cleveland.... Then to Denver. And people on this board are shouting PLAYOFFS! SUPERBOWL!! HASSELBECK FOR MVP!!! WOOOH!! Lol. No.

We had one big upset and won two games any half way decent team should have won.

We're a rebuilding team. Rebuilding teams have a lot of problems, but it can all be categorized under the field called "Lack of talent".

If you want to pinpoint the biggest ones (in no particular order, because they're all pretty big).

1.) Our center shouldn't even be starting in the CFL

2.) So should 75% of the defensive line. I'll give exception to JJ, Klug, Morgan, and Smith. Problem is Klug's a mid-round rookie. Smith's a weirdo that attracts flags like a gay pride parade. Morgan's always hurt, and JJ's playing out of position and is always hurt.

3.) Our two best players on offense are MIA. Kenny Britt with an injury, and CJ with a sudden onset of being a horrible running back.

4.) Idk why but I paid attention to Griffin today. He gave up some touchdowns, looked slow. Seems to have lost his edge. Oh and our other safety is a 50 year old career backup.

5.) Ruud was a bad pickup.

6.) A lot of the good young players we have are just that, good and young. I don't jump on Cook or Williams or Harper (if we'd ever freaking playt he guy) or Locker (when we eventually do freaking play the guy) for their mistakes. When they start making mistakes later in their career I'll be upset. This is the time for mistakes.

7.) Some bad playcalling (especially on defense).

8.) Matt Hasselbeck's a good QB. He's not Jesus like some people on this board seem to want him to be. I don't think he should be around next year, I don't see him leading this team to anything bigger than maybe the first round of the playoffs. If he's willing to stay and be a mentor/insurance to Locker, than GREAT. If not... I'd rather move on.

Everything on that list can be categorized under: "We just don't have the right group of players on the field together. When the McNair/Fisher era ended, we haven't been right since. Last year we lost a head coach and a starting QB (not b!+ching about either of them leaving, it was time for both) as well as a lot of other key players. Especially on defense. It's pretty ballsy to think that Tennessee's going to take the field and make a huge run under those circumstances. If we end up 8-8 I'd say that's going above the expectations for most teams in the situation we're in.

Basically our problem isn't really a problem. We're just a transitioning team, not a superbowl contender. Hell we wouldn't even be a playoff contender if Peyton Manning didn't get hurt. Some fans and coaches don't want to accept that reality.

 

And the lack thereof...lol

 

Voted for D-line though. That's the biggest thing I'd be addressing in the draft and free agency next year.

 

#1: Chris Johnson. You can't expect Hasselbeck to complete every 3rd and 10 because CJ had 2 rushes for 0 yards. There is teams with worse OLs and their RBs are doing more than CJ.

#1T: No WRs.

 

People keep saying this but it just doesn't exist. There hasn't been a worse o-line since at least 1995 than our current one.

Not saying it's 100% accurate, but likely the best we have.

 

I think at 3-3, we have been playing over our talent level. This team was not very good last year after VY got benched. So I look at it and say we've been better than expected, but now we're getting back to what we should have expected, which is that we had a pretty bad team.

 

we replaced Fisher with a "Fisher Guy"....why are we surprised by the results?
