I’d say not having Casey was huge. The Titans were able to put very little pressure on Luck (aside from the INT play and one late sack). I think some of that was due to the Colts’ line — which has been terrific all year (especially when healthy). But you just can’t discount a team not having its best pass rusher when playing a pass-heavy offense.

Also, while I get all the frustration here with Gabbert, I’d still say he’s one of the better backup QBs in the league. Most teams don’t have backups who have been regular starters at other teams — particularly ones still in their 20s. But, even still, winning with any backup QB is hard....which is why Foles was such a big story last year (and again lately).

Gabbert was a "starter" for one of the worst teams in the NFL at that time, and basically made them worse. I do not consider his stint as a "starter" an advantage here. He is garbage....was grossly overrated coming out of college (have relatives who were at Mizzou when he was there), and has been a big nothingburger in the pros. Hopefully he goes to the Colts.....

Great takes all around, very impressed. And just to piggy-back on your Gabbert take, lest we Titans fans forget he came in off the bench just LAST WEEK to win us the game over the Redskins.

Our OL was great in 2016, took a step back in 2017 when opponents started to stack the run and took another big step back with the new coaching staff. I don’t think our OL is bad, they simply need a scheme better suited for them.

I also think better QB play elevates our WR core. I certainly don’t see our guys as worse than the Colts outside of Hilton.

QB, DE/OLB, DT is imo the order we should look at in the offseason. Improving OL, WR and CB would be nice, but I don’t see it as a need.
