    Pretty sure 20-30% of Henry's yardage was after contact.

    Even if he is awful and only getting 2 yards. I reckon on 3rd and 1, two yards will probably do the job. Instead of letting Chig get blown up behind an ever shrinking podcast host.

    Dropped some balls, muffed a punt in a really bad spot, missed a kick at a really bad time, made a couple of puzzling calls, didn't keep contain on defense, Fulton got burned. And Henry looks like a really productive running back that may never run past everyone again.

    But we also got after the quarterback, Philips did some great things, Tanny played a smart game. We did good things.

    Saquon was fantastic and Jones played a good game. I'm bummed, but it is a long season.

    I really didn't want to put it all on Randy's foot. I actually wanted us to push for a TD at the end. Overall, I thought that Tanne looked really good, and was pleasantly surprised at how well the O-line played. The WRs weren't too bad except for the fact that Woods was MIA; he only had two targets. So, the two main concerns going into the season (O-line and WR) weren't as bad as I had expected. The D broke down, but it was likely due to them being tired from being on the field too much later in the game. Also, Barkley is one of the best RBs in the league when healthy, so I wouldn't beat them up too much for his performance. Actually, I felt that the loss of Landry wasn't even a factor, as Simmons, Dupree, and Weaver were all great and more than made up for it. So, let's be honest, it all comes down to the offensive play calling. It lost the killer instinct that it needed.

    Not having Landry hurt us on defending Barkley. If you play Autry on the end, he can't get to the perimeter as quickly as Landry. And Weaver crashed in a few times, creating lanes.

    If we had a competent offensive coordinator, we win the game yesterday, and that’s really the beginning and end of it. Don’t overcomplicate it.

    Titans D didn't show up for parts of the 3rd and 4th quarter. Had they performed like they should have, there would have been no need to put up more points. The offense performed well enough in this game to win, it was the defense that was the let down.
    Yes, they could have won the game with a few more offensive plays, no doubt, but holistically, the defense could have played better in the 2nd half against a garbage GMan offense. Saying that, taking nothing away from Barkley, because he is still special. But to give up a buck 50 to Barkley was not good.

    *EDIT* Not to mention the flipped field on the muffed punt. <<< That was huge. This was the single point of failure IMHO besides the defense.

    So, yes, I'm going to go against the grain and popular belief on this one.

    Actually Tanny looked sharp for his first game action..

    Just one of those weird ass games where you can't really blame anyone but a play call here and there.

    Tough loss. Just felt like we should've won this game 30-3..

    As Titans fans we should be immune to these type of games. Bullock hits that FG, it's a different mentality.

    I just don't understand why we were so content in thinking Fat Randy was automatic to the point we refuse to gain more yardage. I guess they felt like he was clutch when there's no pressure and nobody was 100% coming at him during TC/preseason.
