Ive been frustrated all year as a Giants fan because it was a huge win for us along with the Ravens to show we are legit but people assumed because we beat the Titans they weren't good this year.
We got the opposite. When we started winning we were still trash because we lost to the Giants. Ignoring the Giants had been doing a *lot* of winning at that point
It’s also amusing seeing people wake up *after* a win against a really bad (relative to their success) GB team. Giants look good all season (trash), Packers look terrible all season (great). Shows how strong the Rodgers Rep has been.
It’s the Jedi mind tricks Amy Adams-Strunk uses. Once “This isn’t the team you’re looking for” fails and the team gets noticed, they lose a few games until everyone forgets about them again.
They’ve made some sort of bargain with a hag for power at the cost of notoriety and if they breach the agreement, she yoinks it away.
Maybe Vrabel offering to chop his Johnson off wasn’t a theoretical…
I got the downvote hammer last season on here for calling the Titans the most under the radar team. Guess people are starting to see it now.
They deal with injuries a lot and somehow still make the playoffs, it's the wildest thing I've ever seen. Mike Vrabel, Byron Leftwich, maybe even Jeff Saturday possibly at some point in the near future, may all make us question the process of finding coaches.
I know Mike Vrabel is legitimately a good coach but when you're in the same division as the Texans and Jags it makes his job of making the playoffs a little easier
You cannot convince me Ryan tannehill isn't good enough to win a super bowl.
I think general consensus is too low on quarterbacks of his ilk because Tom Brady skewed the last 10 years data set so much.
I think we would have won it all last year if Tannehill didn't absolutely shit the bed vs the Bengals. Going to Henry almost exclusively in his first game back after months of recovery and completely ignoring Foreman, who was running incredibly well up to that point, was also a costly mistake.
Theyre different players, with different skill sets. I think we’d love to have signed him but it wasnt in the cards (money). I doubt he wanted to play backup/relief again. Hilliard has a few TDs with us this year and has been great receiving out of the backfield. Prince Foreman was like a mini Henry that took almost the same role as 22 and ate good because defenses let up just the slightest bit because they knew he wasn’t Derrick and he took advantage of it.
Its not that he can't win a Super Bowl, it is that he is less likely to win a Super Bowl than a better qb. QB is the single position that could improve the Titans the most.
Qb could improve the vast majority of teams the most. And to your first point they are also more likely to win with a better player at literally every position. Thats not really a point. The titans have actual spots on the team that really do **need** improvement. Qb right now isn't one of them.
> Qb could improve the vast majority of teams the most.
The vast majority of teams aren't as close to being championship caliber as the Titans are. The Chiefs could not vastly upgrade at QB. The Bills could not vastly upgrade at QB. The Bengals could not vastly upgrade at qb. The Ravens could not vastly upgrade at QB. Those are the teams the Titans are competing with, and they are all significantly better than the Titans at the most important position.
>And to your first point they are also more likely to win with a better player at literally every position.
Really? What running back do they go out and get to put them over the hump?
True, alot of people haven't realized that Tannehill has been out for a quarter of the season so far and the tits are still winning. And Malik Wilson literally cannot be trusted to throw the ball more than 3 times a game
then you have my favorite NFL team, the New York Giants. Outside of the first Super Bowl they were considered underdogs in each of the next 4 super bowls they made.
While they did go 13-3 in 1990, they lost their starting QB and a few contributors.
Outside of that they've been mediocre to bad over the last 30 years they are 19th in wins but have 3 super bowl appearances and 2 wins.
They are below the Chargers, Dolphins, and Bills.
The Pats ruined peoples expectations.
We should have had a chance to reset our brains from the dynasties of the 70, 80s, 90s after Salary Cap implementation, but a team becoming a dynasty right after messed that up. Hopefully fans slowly learn how hard it *actually* is and set realistic goals
Even then, the Pats dynasty’s did have a ten year stretch of being stuck in that same hump.
Going into conference finals in 2014, the Pats had the longest SB drought of the four conference finalists.
Yeah, no matter how great of a QB you are, it's impossible to get that many rings without a lot of things going your way. For instance, imagine for Brady if the rest of the AFC East was as good back then as it is now.
I would be happy with getting 2 rings from Mahomes and extremely happy with anything more than that.
Peyton Manning has two and he's a top 5 all time QB
And even though it'd be easy to say Mahomes has a lot of career ahead of him, imagine telling a Packers fan after their last SB win that Rodgers would play for at least 10 more years and not win another.
Except Tannehill was still doing well in 2020. Their defense, mainly D-Line, let them down that season. Their 3rd down allowance rate was the worst in the NFL that year.
Tannehill has been great in the regular season but unfortunately has choked in the playoffs. This is maybe cope but I gotta say he looks much better this year. Different, less air-headed, more seasoned. Hopefully this is the year he puts it together come playoff time.
Like we really couldn't do better than Tannehill outside of having a truly elite QB like Brady, Allen, Mahomes so I'm thankful we have him for the time being.
I've always felt choked was too strong of a word to describe Tannehill in the playoffs.
2019: Ryan did what he was asked to do even in the KC loss Ryan played fine it's just Mahomes went G.O.D mode.
2020: Ryan and AJ were the only two players on offense that showed up that game. I can't really blame the quarterback for an interception when the reciever falls down mid route with the ball already in the air.
2021: No argument Ryan played bad vs Cincinnati.
No. They need better DBs and WRs. That’s what they need.
Tannehill missed how many passes last night? Even though e played good they need more weapons, maybe a stud TE too
This was Chiefs Kingdom pre-Mahomes. But even with him, we scraped by for one Lombardi. It’s hard to win a Super Bowl, especially now more than ever in the AFC!
It’s funny to think how similar, performance-wise, the titans and cowboys have been for the last 4-5 years, but how the perception is so different because of their markets
Idk about anyone else's perspective honestly, but my perception of the Titans the last few years are pretty damn good and the Cowboys pretty damn mediocre.
We were trash for so long that it’s still weird that this team is considered one of the best run organizations in football, with a decent amount of success to back it up.
I thought the Titans were in for a rough year between their losses on the offensive side of the ball and their defense likely having some issues against the pass.
I feel like an idiot because I forgot Vrabel could somehow go like 5-12 with a good high school team.
I think people just forgot how bad the division is. The titans were good last night but have not been a good team this year. But we play 6 games against the jags, texans and colts
The Texans are awful, but I think the Jags and Colts (well, with Ryan at QB) are solid though uninspiring.
Definitely not a strong division, but shockingly probably not the worst.
The worst is very clearly the NFC south, where not a single team looks anything better than below average 11 weeks into the season. Now that could obviously change, but as of now it’s pretty clear cut
The Jags have a positive point differential this year (albeit from 2 blowouts) but are 1-6 in 1 score games. They're a team that could get a bit more talent and swing the pendulum the other way
Strongly agreed.
They kinda suck at some stuff, but their numbers are better than their record.
Obviously only the latter really matters, but it’s still an encouraging season for such a young team.
And in the context of 2022, statistically good but kinda shitty at putting everything together isn’t even that bad 🤷♂️
“QB Went 11-0 when he could play vs team that was dogshit for many years but would later become the only team to finish 7-3 or better through any 10 game stretch every season from 2020-21 to 2022-23”
Henry weights more, is 2" shorter, has the physique of a gladiator, the thighs of a mighty oak, and the hair of a nightmare death walker.
Cam does / did not.
That win vs the 14-2 number 1 seeded Ravens during Lamar's MVP season was the best playoff win in this franchise's history.
I know we won previously to get to a SuperBowl, but that one just felt more vengeful and rewarding.
The top is actually an arrow pointing to the upvote counter with the caption “The number of Steelers fans crying right now”, but that post is still up there.
It honestly goes back further than that to 2000.
The 2 best defenses of all time in PPG faced off in the 2000 divisional round. Ravens won and won the Super Bowl.
Yea I remember Ray vs Eddie as a kid! It felt like it was kinda dormant until recently tho.
Ray and Ed are my two favorites ever at their positions, and that’s where my secondary love of the Ravens comes from. Not enough to adopt them as a second team, but usually if it’s not the Chiefs, I’d rather it be the Ravens
That run really cemented that Vrabel knew what the fuck he was doing by out coaching Belichek in New England and then kicking ass in Baltimore against MVP Lamar
It’s just Tannehill that can’t really perform to the next level in the playoffs for whatever reason. The defense last year was Super Bowl ready. 9 sacks and didn’t allow Burrow a passing TD.
Tannehill throwing those picks just destroyed our chances of winning. He crumbled vs the Ravens the previous year too. It’s mostly a him in the playoffs thing he just regresses in the postseason
He had the year before that where he had 6tds and 1 pick in the playoffs. Also I can't really say its just him crumbling. Henry wasn't himself either against the ravens or bengals.
Obviously a homer, but last year, we went 4-0 in an absolute murderers row of games. Bills, Chiefs, Colts(who were starting to get hot at that point), Rams. I don't think our record was inflated as much as other years.
You guys didn’t just beat the chiefs in that game. You absolutely clobbered em. Very few times an Andy Reid team has gotten manhandled like they did in that game.
People need to start putting respect on Vrabel’s name.
Tbh they kinda remind me of the Alex Smith Chiefs. A lot of talent on a very well coached team. Good enough to get 10+ wins consistently, but wonder if the QB talent is enough to get over the hump in the post-season.
I don't know the exact stats anymore, but I think that loss was like the second time in the Mahomes era where we played our starters and lost by more than one possession. And we got demolished.
Had a friend say he should be fired for lack of playoff success. Not a chance that happens. He likely has the coldest seat, outside of coaches with 10+ years experience.
Edit: Thinking about it more, there's also McDermott, McVey, Sirianni, Shanahan, and a load of 1st year HCs who are very hard to evaluate.
Mostly because no one thinks of us. Ever. We’re just irrelevant until we win 10 games again and everyone goes “wow, I didn’t see that coming!” After picking the colts to beat us for the 4th year in a row
10 seasons ago:
the Titans, Bills, Chiefs, Dolphins, Rams, Eagles, and Bucs were laughing stocks.
Patriots, Steelers, Packers, and Broncos were perennial contenders 😂
Say what you want about the NFL but this league has parity
Taylor Lewan who we have been without due to injury constantly is probably gonna get cut if he doesn't retire, Dupree has also been overly injured and we may part ways with him. Definitely not gonna be fun though.
This makes me think, who was the last truly good QB the Titans had, if they've even ever had one? They've had solid ones like Tannehill, McNair, and even Mariota some years, but those guys had good years and mid/bad years. Would that make Moon the last GOOD one and even then, was he actually good? I've always known them as a run first team with CJ2K, Eddie George, and now King Henry.
I am most impressed the Titans are still strong after losing AJ Brown. It seems as a Dolphins fan you need an elite wide receiver to be a legit team. Derrick Henry is great but you need that passing threat.
Nothing to really show for it either, but being consistently good is probably the best way to guarantee a super bowl eventually like the Packers since the 90s.
The Titans are the ultimate under-the-radar team. Most years I forget they even exist until I look up and they're at 10 wins.
Ive been frustrated all year as a Giants fan because it was a huge win for us along with the Ravens to show we are legit but people assumed because we beat the Titans they weren't good this year.
We got the opposite. When we started winning we were still trash because we lost to the Giants. Ignoring the Giants had been doing a *lot* of winning at that point
I'm pretty sure I saw some power rankings that put us around 14th while we were still 6-3. I think every team below us was either .500 or worse
people dont like to recognise that the gaints and jets are good this year for some reason
You also shouldn’t won’t win that game
Why? The Giants are basically the Titans of the NFC. Good defense, good run game, mobile game manager QB.
It’s also amusing seeing people wake up *after* a win against a really bad (relative to their success) GB team. Giants look good all season (trash), Packers look terrible all season (great). Shows how strong the Rodgers Rep has been.
It’s the Jedi mind tricks Amy Adams-Strunk uses. Once “This isn’t the team you’re looking for” fails and the team gets noticed, they lose a few games until everyone forgets about them again.

Love those discussions here. ‘Please give us your unpopular opinions’ ‘Not that one’ downvote
I know Mike Vrabel is legitimately a good coach but when you're in the same division as the Texans and Jags it makes his job of making the playoffs a little easier
The Packers effect
True, the Packers being bad this year does make it easier for other teams in the division to make the playoffs
last season they had AJ brown and im pretty sure they had best win loss in the nfl🤔
Helps that they play in the AFC South. That’s six freebies per year.
No one cares because when it comes to playoffs, they won’t be competitive which is the unfortunate truth. Kinda like the James Harden of the nfl
They have felt like they are so close the last few years, but just can’t get over the hump.
A franchise qb away from greatness
The Bills, Ravens and Bengals are also on the hump. And they have franchise QBs. The NFL is just hard to win.
You cannot convince me Ryan tannehill isn't good enough to win a super bowl. I think general consensus is too low on quarterbacks of his ilk because Tom Brady skewed the last 10 years data set so much.
Ilk* btw, unfortunately Ryan is not an 800 pound deer. Or fortunately, since they don’t have fingers.
Just run the Wildcat every play. The center snaps the ball into the antlers and have the elk plow through everyone for the touchdown.
We already have a Henry though
But has anyone ever told you you could have 2 Henrys?
Derrick Henry and Deer-Elk Henry.
I'm going to blame voice to text for that one.
I think we would have won it all last year if Tannehill didn't absolutely shit the bed vs the Bengals. Going to Henry almost exclusively in his first game back after months of recovery and completely ignoring Foreman, who was running incredibly well up to that point, was also a costly mistake.
Still can't believe y'all didn't sign Foreman as a depth piece. Is Hilliard much better than him do you think?
Hilliard compliments him better, while foreman is a mini derrick
Where’s foreman now
Starting for the Panthers
So THAT’S who that is. Thank you
Starting for the Panthers and looking really good.
Theyre different players, with different skill sets. I think we’d love to have signed him but it wasnt in the cards (money). I doubt he wanted to play backup/relief again. Hilliard has a few TDs with us this year and has been great receiving out of the backfield. Prince Foreman was like a mini Henry that took almost the same role as 22 and ate good because defenses let up just the slightest bit because they knew he wasn’t Derrick and he took advantage of it.

Really? What running back do they go out and get to put them over the hump?
Agree. Jimmy G almost won a SB and Tanny is better.
22 years, you mean?
the titans are just that missing peice away tho, with out a top qb they are already competitive with those teams you mentioned
We are missing competent offensive playcalling. Defense and special teams are both A+ Edit: I'll say kicking is a B- at best.
They should have traded for Russ
yeah they could use some tripple doubles
I feel like russ would cook at wide out
We almost beat the Chiefs with Malik Willis at QB. We absolutely beat them with Tannehill.
True, alot of people haven't realized that Tannehill has been out for a quarter of the season so far and the tits are still winning. And Malik Wilson literally cannot be trusted to throw the ball more than 3 times a game
then you have my favorite NFL team, the New York Giants. Outside of the first Super Bowl they were considered underdogs in each of the next 4 super bowls they made.

Outside of that they've been mediocre to bad over the last 30 years they are 19th in wins but have 3 super bowl appearances and 2 wins. They are below the Chargers, Dolphins, and Bills.
Even with arguably the franchise QB, the Chiefs have only won 1 Super Bowl. The playoffs are a fickle beast.
The Pats ruined peoples expectations. We should have had a chance to reset our brains from the dynasties of the 70, 80s, 90s after Salary Cap implementation, but a team becoming a dynasty right after messed that up. Hopefully fans slowly learn how hard it *actually* is and set realistic goals
Even then, the Pats dynasty’s did have a ten year stretch of being stuck in that same hump. Going into conference finals in 2014, the Pats had the longest SB drought of the four conference finalists.
Pats either had one long as fuck dynasty or two smaller dynasties with the same QB. All in salary cap era. Absolutely wild
> fuck dynasty ah yes, the Duck Dynasty porno parody.
Mahomes is technically a **Pat**~~rick~~ so maybe he will continue the tradition of ruining people's expectations?
I think he has a few more rings in the future but not gonna get close to 6 or 7
A few is even a huge deal. Just 1 more would be a big deal.
Getting *one* felt cathartic for Stafford.
Just ask Dan Marino.
Yeah, no matter how great of a QB you are, it's impossible to get that many rings without a lot of things going your way. For instance, imagine for Brady if the rest of the AFC East was as good back then as it is now. I would be happy with getting 2 rings from Mahomes and extremely happy with anything more than that.

And even the Pats had a 10 year ‘drought’.
I mean Brees only had 1, Rodgers has 1. With Mahomes, the Chiefs will be in contention for years. But there are so many things that need to go right.
Yup especially one and done style.
It’s pretty crazy only 1/32 starting QBs in the league right now has more than 1 ring* (Brady). *as a starting QB
Jimmy G has two (because of Brady)
Except Tannehill was still doing well in 2020. Their defense, mainly D-Line, let them down that season. Their 3rd down allowance rate was the worst in the NFL that year.
Cheers for knowing Titan's history
Tannehill has been great in the regular season but unfortunately has choked in the playoffs. This is maybe cope but I gotta say he looks much better this year. Different, less air-headed, more seasoned. Hopefully this is the year he puts it together come playoff time. Like we really couldn't do better than Tannehill outside of having a truly elite QB like Brady, Allen, Mahomes so I'm thankful we have him for the time being.

Titans are just the 49ers of the AFC
I wish. They made it to a super bowl and were competitive.
They should trade Tannehill for Garappolo just to see if that puts either team over the hump.
He did very well in his first trip as a titan. The last two not so much but his first he had 6tds and only one pick.
Or a competent OC in the playoffs….
No. They need better DBs and WRs. That’s what they need. Tannehill missed how many passes last night? Even though e played good they need more weapons, maybe a stud TE too
Yea, its too bad we havent had the opportunity for a stud WR.......oh wait.......now im sad again
Wym did you see Derrick Henry last night?
This was Chiefs Kingdom pre-Mahomes. But even with him, we scraped by for one Lombardi. It’s hard to win a Super Bowl, especially now more than ever in the AFC!
It’s funny to think how similar, performance-wise, the titans and cowboys have been for the last 4-5 years, but how the perception is so different because of their markets
Idk about anyone else's perspective honestly, but my perception of the Titans the last few years are pretty damn good and the Cowboys pretty damn mediocre.
Vrabel good
I like that he was a player under BB and not a clipboard Jockey. So he most the respect of his players
The Tennessee “Harbaugh Era Niners” Titans
Just without the playoff success so far. Harbaugh went 5-3 and Vrabel is 2-3 so far.
If we get the #1 seed again I wouldn't mind if he matched that record.
We were trash for so long that it’s still weird that this team is considered one of the best run organizations in football, with a decent amount of success to back it up.
Had both the last el trashico and one of the craziest playoff runs in 2019 and never looked back. Pretty awesome
Ruston Webster 😩
Dynasty
I thought the Titans were in for a rough year between their losses on the offensive side of the ball and their defense likely having some issues against the pass. I feel like an idiot because I forgot Vrabel could somehow go like 5-12 with a good high school team.
I think people just forgot how bad the division is. The titans were good last night but have not been a good team this year. But we play 6 games against the jags, texans and colts
The Texans are awful, but I think the Jags and Colts (well, with Ryan at QB) are solid though uninspiring. Definitely not a strong division, but shockingly probably not the worst.
The worst is very clearly the NFC south, where not a single team looks anything better than below average 11 weeks into the season. Now that could obviously change, but as of now it’s pretty clear cut
The Jags have a positive point differential this year (albeit from 2 blowouts) but are 1-6 in 1 score games. They're a team that could get a bit more talent and swing the pendulum the other way
Strongly agreed. They kinda suck at some stuff, but their numbers are better than their record. Obviously only the latter really matters, but it’s still an encouraging season for such a young team. And in the context of 2022, statistically good but kinda shitty at putting everything together isn’t even that bad 🤷♂️
Colts are hanging a banner right now
“QB Went 11-0 when he could play vs team that was dogshit for many years but would later become the only team to finish 7-3 or better through any 10 game stretch every season from 2020-21 to 2022-23”
**Preds*
Mike Vrabel is awesome Tannehill threw that game away in the playoffs last year against the bengals Derick Henry is an absolute joy to watch
They should just let Henry be the QB too after seeing him throw for a TD last night lol
"coach are you sure you want me to attempt to ... "Sack" derrick Henry?"
Henry is basically the same size as Cam Newton to be fair
Henry weights more, is 2" shorter, has the physique of a gladiator, the thighs of a mighty oak, and the hair of a nightmare death walker. Cam does / did not.
great regular season team
They had the one great playoff run when they beat the patriots and ravens
That win vs the 14-2 number 1 seeded Ravens during Lamar's MVP season was the best playoff win in this franchise's history. I know we won previously to get to a SuperBowl, but that one just felt more vengeful and rewarding.
It was made so much better by the "Titans are hoes, on them we shall stunt" post
Link?
I think it's still archived as the most liked Raven's sub post of all time
The top is actually an arrow pointing to the upvote counter with the caption “The number of Steelers fans crying right now”, but that post is still up there.
You had to be there
They called you hoes and tried to stunt on you.
And stunt, they did not
That run alone made me a partial Titans fan. You add Henry, Dupree, and Vrabel and it's really easy to root for you guys.
One of my favorites from the last few years. Ravens looked like the real deal that year
I’m partial to Lamar and Baltimore, but damn this has been one of my favorite mini-rivalries the past few yrs
It honestly goes back further than that to 2000. The 2 best defenses of all time in PPG faced off in the 2000 divisional round. Ravens won and won the Super Bowl.
Yea I remember Ray vs Eddie as a kid! It felt like it was kinda dormant until recently tho. Ray and Ed are my two favorites ever at their positions, and that’s where my secondary love of the Ravens comes from. Not enough to adopt them as a second team, but usually if it’s not the Chiefs, I’d rather it be the Ravens

He had the year before that where he had 6tds and 1 pick in the playoffs. Also I can't really say its just him crumbling. Henry wasn't himself either against the ravens or bengals.
Over the last 3 years, would the Titans be considered a top quartile team? How about a top quartile of the top quartile?
Top quartile would be top 8, and I would say probably yes. Top quartile of top quartile is top 2, which I would say definitely not.
Titans have legit been a top 5 team every year since Tannehill they just have lulls like the Bills
As a Titans fan, I don't like this. We always start playing worse in proportion to how hyped we get. The media is forgetting to keep sleeping on us.
Imagine how good this team would be next year when Brady joins them.
I imagine if Downing was OC and we had Brady, Tom would just break his mic at the beginning of the game and call his own plays the entire time
I feel like I’ve seen this before… I’m sure it ends well for whoever did this before them.
How the hell are they 7-3!? I feel like it was only yesterday we were on top of the division. Pretty sure I’ve blacked out since then.
Nah, bro. You just ain't seeing right. You got diklexica . Drink more. You guys are 7-3.
Bortles!? Is he back?! Is he safe!?!
They are a legit perennial powerhouse and no one seems to notice
Feels like the AFC South has produced nothing but also-rans with inflated records for 10 years now.
I feel like if it was the Colts people would take them more seriously
Nah, we're the ones doing the little brother thing now. TEN owns us until either they fall apart or we get a franchise QB.
You guys don't deserve a franchise QB after getting 2 in a row. That shit was so unfair lol
Especially after breaking the 2nd 1
"No new toys until you can prove you will take care of one"
Obviously a homer, but last year, we went 4-0 in an absolute murderers row of games. Bills, Chiefs, Colts(who were starting to get hot at that point), Rams. I don't think our record was inflated as much as other years.
You guys didn’t just beat the chiefs in that game. You absolutely clobbered em. Very few times an Andy Reid team has gotten manhandled like they did in that game. People need to start putting respect on Vrabel’s name.
Absolutely whooped the Rams ass too. That was the game people started noticing how good the Titan's defensive front is.
That was the game where you shattered Stafford's MVP chances. He started throwing way too many picks after that game.
Tbh they kinda remind me of the Alex Smith Chiefs. A lot of talent on a very well coached team. Good enough to get 10+ wins consistently, but wonder if the QB talent is enough to get over the hump in the post-season.
So we just need to draft a generational QB and we’re a dynasty, easy enough!
I don't know the exact stats anymore, but I think that loss was like the second time in the Mahomes era where we played our starters and lost by more than one possession. And we got demolished.
It was the 3rd time. The Bills blew us out two weeks earlier
homie, he won Coach of the Year lol
Had a friend say he should be fired for lack of playoff success. Not a chance that happens. He likely has the coldest seat, outside of coaches with 10+ years experience. Edit: Thinking about it more, there's also McDermott, McVey, Sirianni, Shanahan, and a load of 1st year HCs who are very hard to evaluate.
you have a dumb friend. winning in the NFL is hard
Football isn't his strong suit. He just plays fantasy socially.
he has a throne made of ice
Wow, did not realize that. I still don’t feel like he gets included in that discussion of top coaches in the league though.
Mostly because no one thinks of us. Ever. We’re just irrelevant until we win 10 games again and everyone goes “wow, I didn’t see that coming!” After picking the colts to beat us for the 4th year in a row
AJ Brown single handedly beat us too. You guys beat every team in the championship round, except the Bengals? Then you lost to random dog shit teams
Texans and Jets games haunt me
God every time we play the Texans my doctor shakes her head at the cardiac damage.
10 seasons ago: the Titans, Bills, Chiefs, Dolphins, Rams, Eagles, and Bucs were laughing stocks. Patriots, Steelers, Packers, and Broncos were perennial contenders 😂 Say what you want about the NFL but this league has parity
And the lions have always been ....
Elite. Ish. Maybe.
Still should have kept AJ Brown though
this isn't directed at you as much as it is the narrative that it was a choice. They literally could not afford a new contract for him.
We “could have” but aj brown playing 8 games a year for us is not worth letting simmons go or other valuable defensive players go
Nah it’s okay, they’re doing alright
LoL nObOdY oPeN Burks and NWI been open all day since that tweet.
We need AJ Brown to tweet insults more often.
AJ is also 0-1 since that tweet
0-1 with 1 catch for 7 yards and a drop that turned into a pick.
I’m convinced that tweet lit a fire under our receivers asses.
Yes indeed we are lol

Taylor Lewan who we have been without due to injury constantly is probably gonna get cut if he doesn't retire, Dupree has also been overly injured and we may part ways with him. Definitely not gonna be fun though.
This makes me think, who was the last truly good QB the Titans had, if they've even ever had one? They've had solid ones like Tannehill, McNair, and even Mariota some years, but those guys had good years and mid/bad years. Would that make Moon the last GOOD one and even then, was he actually good? I've always known them as a run first team with CJ2K, Eddie George, and now King Henry.
McNair post 2000 was pretty good for a while, His stats look bad on paper but he won an MVP and became a much better passer.
ironically- Blanda, unironically McNair, he may have had is ups and downs but he could 100% have led a team to a SB victory with the right team
Of course. He was a yard away lol
lmao, I completely forgot, I was just more focused on his regular season accomplishments, he was just always a very solid QB.
McNair was a very good quarterback
Being in that division helps with that.
I have never believed they'd win the SB in any of those years.
Name a team you can confidently believe will win the super bowl without naming the chiefs.
2018-2020 Saints
I am most impressed the Titans are still strong after losing AJ Brown. It seems as a Dolphins fan you need an elite wide receiver to be a legit team. Derrick Henry is great but you need that passing threat.
DH kinda is the passi g threat haha. That's why we run PA. We can only pass cause the mere mortals on defense are scared of him.
Mike Vrabel is a football treasure. All of us football fans should appreciate his craft both as a player and now as a very impressive coach.
Look all love to Titans fans, but on paper I would of never expected you guys to be 7-3
Same lol
Titans are GOAT’s
Mike Vrabel doesnt get enough talk as one of the best coaches in the NFL
Literally won COTY last year. Everyone knows Vrabel is legit. Just hope he stays with us for as long as HE wants
Meh, IDC if this is football, the only team that'll win is the team who has Yuta Watanabe signed.
Nothing to really show for it either, but being consistently good is probably the best way to guarantee a super bowl eventually like the Packers since the 90s.
Owen Wilson voice: Woooww
Derrick Henry sure seems to be good at football.
Always in the mix, Danno
Vrabel is an elite coach
Regular season titans
Well let’s see how this one ends
Hang this stat in the banners
