    Yesterday's after practice interviews of Art and Vrabel was so deflating. They had no energy, couldn't really answer direct questions and we stumbling trying to think of positive words to say. Seemed rather hopeless like its week 16 already.

    Why do some think the Tanny that played last week is the same you will see this week? He came in down late in the game. Everyone knew he would be slinging the ball and he still did pretty well. If a pic in garbage time doesn’t reflect how he will play in a full game. He doesn’t have to be great just get some points on the board and give the D a breather and he can just ride the defense to glory. I’m a MM8 homer and hate to see this but it was time for a change. They gotta see how what they got to see where they are going.

    I agree that it was time for a change at QB. With that being said, Tannehill was sacked 4 times in a little over a quarter.

    I don't believe that benching Mariota is going to turn things around, we have too many other problems for that simple solution to work.

    It's hard to complete a pass when you are on your back. It's hard to score points when they are reversed by stupid penalties, or when your kicker misses 4 FGs in a single game.

    Yes, we replaced the kicker..... With another kicker who missed 4 FGs in a single game.

    And there's the root of the problem. Inept leadership that refuses to make changes to a system that has been proven to not work.

    Yes, he did get sacked a lot, but wasn't that the game where out of 7 total sacks only 1 sack was less than 3.9 seconds? Hard to blame that on the OLine when both qbs were holding the ball almost 4 seconds....

    That is a problem Tannehill has as well. He did say after the game something about because they were down two scores and running out of time that he was trying to force plays as a reason why he held the ball and took sacks. Unfortunately, his career says that isn't just too out of the ordinary.

    As much as I might get flamed for saying this, there's not much difference between Mariota and Tannehill. It's one of the reasons Tannehill was brought in as a backup in the first place.

    I hope the change at QB works, but I remain skeptical. Yes, Mariota was bad, but I feel that he was just one of the many problems with the Titans offense. I suppose time will tell.

    I expect Tammy to be more decisive with the ball. That's the only difference. But that is also about the best thing we can ask for at this point.

    Well this is my obligatory bet game with my friend from SD. I hope Tammy can get the offense going so I don't have to send a bottle of bourbon to him. Tammy needs to just go to AJ, Delanie and Hump to establish the pass. Art should wise up and just play tempo right away, pass to set up running DH.

    If Tannehill throws for 400 yards tomorrow I’ll shave my head.
