    After being pissed all evening, I've come to the conclusion that there is a lot of blame to go around. Tannehill made some bad throws, but he isn't responsible for the catches that were missed that became tips, or the line that let our running back continue to get stuffed behind the line of scrimmage.

    Downing needs to answer for this, and so does Vrabel. The missed two point conversion should have been the extra point tie breaker. From there, the Titans could have taken a knee twice and we would be having a different conversation.

    In general, the Titans need more consistency from the tight end position. They have been hot and cold all year. They also need better protection if they want to be a passing team.

    The right side of the line was a mess, again, and so far I am convinced that Lewan is more hype than substance- consider how well the line performed last year vs this year. For an elite team Tannehill took WAY too many sacks.

    They need to do everything they can to keep that defense together, including getting Tannehill to restructure again, since making a move on his contract is impossible. Our best weapon when healthy is actually AJ Brown, and he loves his connection with Tannehill. If I were J Rob I would put it on the table privately to all that survive the changes to come that this outcome was unacceptable, and that this franchise expects much more now than winning divisions and getting to the playoffs.

    While this hurts, this was the best regular season record the Titans have had since 2008- four quarterbacks ago. Tannehill is a big part of how they got here, and none of the early round supposed superstars we drafted have even come close. Time to build on what they do well and cut the bull****.

    Too bad Arthur has a better gig-they could have used some of his play calling today. We now have the offseason to further analyze this lousy ending.

    Guy is so arrogant he makes PK seem humble and kind.

    How was that arrogant? He is 100 % dead on with that quote. Doesn’t mean Downing isn’t going to be fired. I think he will be and Tim Kelly will be our new OC.

    I have a plate in my wrist and believe me, it takes a while to fully heal. I would think he is back no problem next season with no ill effects, but the tissue trauma is real when the insert the metal. We should ask some of the posters with plates in their heads if they concur.

    Going 0-3 in your last 3 trips to postseason and then cockily proclaim you will remain the HC for “a while” (as in long time) is damn arrogant to me. Frankly another one and done or missed playoff and I would look for a replacement.

    Especially if the notion of Schwartz being brought in to babysit Bowen was against Vrabels wishes as some posters have postulated.

    For real. On a positive note, the Bengals fans around me were actually very nice, solid fans that can relate to misery. They were not obnoxious during the game like Bills, Chiefs, fans in particular.

    I doubt he fires Downing. The question is if bringing in Schwartz was his idea and he would do the same to get experienced help for Downing.
    Bowens defense last year was way worse than our offense this year and he got to keep his job.
