Post-Game Thread Game 7 Final Score: Bengals 31 - Titans 20

Watching yesterday D was shocking. My missus is an arizona fan and she even agrees that our defence is unbelievable.

Didn't like Dean pees after the chiefs game in the playoffs but omg the play designs were so superior. We had corner blitzes and safety blitzes every other play last year but now it's something outta the 50s we're watching. 3-4 push forward everyone else drop back.

 

Article is spot on. It’s really mind numbing that Vrabel doesn’t think that the defensive issues have to do with a lack of a dc. Of course he’s not going to admit that openly but it clearly starts there.

 

A proper DC or not, Clowney, Beasley, Landry, Evans and Brown are all capable of getting to the QB...do it, that what you're paid to do.

Adoree needs to rub some dirt on it and get back out on the field. If hes that hurt, put him on IR and end it.

Trade deadline tomorrow, doubt JR and Vrabel do anything because everything is "fine"..but hello!, we just got embarrassed by the Bengals.

And if we can't beat the Bengals htf are we going to compete with the good teams, Indy is getting better, we are getting worse.

 

Another thing to keep in mind. Because the defense is so horrid, opposing teams are dominating TOP, particularly the last two games. Offense cant get into any sustained rhythm with the defense on the field for over half the game.

Titans: 24:03
Bengals: 35:57

Steelers: 36:37
Titans: 23:23

For the season, the Titans have only held the ball more than their opponents in three games (Broncos, Vikings, and Texans). The Texans game was only by 10 secs.

 

Vrabel is a team guy first. He won't publicly call out any coaching. I'm not going to panic over his statement.

 

As I thought more about our defensive situation, losing Casey, Ryan, and Woodyard hurt us. Ya they were on the decline but they brought that leadership and accountability to the defense. All we have now are guys who got paid and really don't give a damn. I was all for the Casey trade and letting Ryan walk, looking at it now we should of tried to keep both, but mostly should of kept Casey. This defense is leaderless right now.

 

Do we know anything on the Saffold injury?
Larry Warford is still a free agent...

 

Haven't found anything yet.

 

At this point he needs to call them out! It seems like he is in denial
