    As Tom Brady will attest.

    The fact of the matter the titans didn't arrive here by accident.

    First, they lost Corey Davis and Jonuu Smith to free agency, and the guys they brought it Josh Reynolds and Julio Jones, one of them is not with the team anymore and the other has been injured more than he has played and even when he has played, he is inept.

    Jonuu Smith's replacements haven't fared much better, there is nobody on the Tight End team that strikes fear in opponents like Jonuu did.
    The titans line is thin and can't stay healthy, and our "star" taylor lewan regularly gets beat when it matters the most.
    The titans have two reliable offensive players who ar both injured, and hopefully when they come back, it will once again get the titans to an acceptable offense, which I think it can.

    At this point in the season though, I would, rather than worrying about the #1 seed, focus as much as possible on getting our line healthy and getting AJ and Henry back.

    It is clear that the super bowl will be the team that can make the fewest mistakes, because most of the contenders all rely on their defense, and passing heavy teams aren't going to win the super bowl.

    Also doesn’t help when the QB is mediocre

    It doesn't matter how good your qb is if you don't have good protection or skill players who can actually catch th ball.

    Tanny made several good long distance throws and not one of them was caught. He also drove down for the game-winning drive only to have penalties rather than good protection.

    Again, dump on tanny all you want but the guy is a very good qb with a terrible collection of skill players around him.

    He hasn't been good all season especially after Henry was lost. His arm is shot. If AJ comes back, I am not sure it will help as teams will double him and make Tammy try to throw to others. I feel the RB by committee has be decent on the ground but Tammy has to stop with the turnovers. His int vs Steelers yesterday killed all the momentum.

    Tanne's INT yesterday was a good play by the DE playing contain and looking for the throw. He made a good play. I don't put that on Tanne.

    As bad as the skilled players are around Tannehill ( which is the reason they were practice squad players to begin with) he has done nothing to help his situation. He was making poor decisions and costly turnovers when our offense was at full strength. Obviously now it’s gotten worse as has the oline. With the way this team turns the ball over I’m really not sure AJ coming back will make a big difference and as for Henry we may very well be sunk by the time he could play
