    As a fan you should be happy with any win because at the end of the day it’s not types of wins that gets you in the playoffs but winning in anyway possible.

    Shows you aren’t a titans fan @5tweezyPOT

    I can't disagree with any part of this article.

    Third down %, red zone efficiency, turnover ratio, etc. doesn't point to a playoff-worthy team ESPECIALLY when you look at the level of competition.

    Then there are teams like the Chiefs who looked unstoppable early this season only to come crashing down to earth.

    I'd much rather be the Titans than the Chiefs right now.

    The Titans are forced to go three-and-out 40.7 percent of the time. Only the Colts, Giants and Chicago Bears, teams with a combined 8-28 record in 2017, are worse. The Titans also turn the ball over too much (13.1 percent, 26th in the NFL) leading to the second-lowest plays per drive this season (5.0).

    Defensively, opponents are getting too many first downs via the passing game, with almost one out of every three passing attempts creating a first down this season (38.4 percent). Only the Green Bay Packers are worse in 2017.

    Thats exactly what it feels like when watching as well.

    No question we are a car out of gas, sputtering to get to the pump...Hey, 8-4 is 8-4...We are finding ways to win gang, which is good..I would just like to see a game where the offense breaks out a bit. That is very concerning.
