Post Game Thread: Titans beat the Pats

[Jackson 2]

They're professionals, not fans, at least when they're on TV. I very much doubt any of them are happy.

Are you watching?

 

[RobertWeathers]

They went 2-4 to close out 2015, so that would mean it's tied.

I hate it. I hate watching this team struggle. Posters can call me a ledge jumper ask they want, but the fact is this team has flaws and injuries. The injuries might heal up (DEAR GOD LET EDELMAN BE OK) but the big problems are still there. Can't consistently get off the field in 3rd down, horrible OL and DL slumps, and if Brady is off the rest of the team seems to just quit. I don't know what can be fixed and what can't. The last one is mental toughness, that it seems like too few of our guys have.

They have flaws for sure but I don't see them in as bad of shape as you are projecting.

Same fans calling the season over today will be right back on the bandwagon after we beat MN. They're like yoyos.

We’ll see on that one!

He is.

They burned a #1 on a RB. They gave Burk decent money. They paid White. They gave Develin $. That is not being cheap.

He just a bitter, prima- donna athlete who felt entitled to more money.

I mean, the fact they paid Burkhead, Develin, and spent a 1st rounder on a running back would suggest that Lewis, a far better player than all three of them (at least to this point) has a legitimate reason to be pissed off.

Maybe it was said in the thread but it's no secret that up the middle and collapsing the pocket is the way to get to TB12. That has to be the most Captain Obvious observation on getting to Brady.

Announcer said it right, we miss Gronk for his blocking. Our LT went down sick....I think we just kind of need to get a bit healthier all over to make a run in the second half.

We have the coaching, talent and system...just need to get some guys healed up. Bye is coming at a good time...

 

[stcjones]

I wonder If Brady is 100 percent right now.

Remember this team put up a stinker against the Dolphins last year.

This Titans team does have the number 1 ranked defense[/QUOTE


Brady is not close to 100% and hasn’t been all season....time is unfortunately ticking...and since he has paper bag OL and no consistent weapons....it makes his decline MORE noticeable.....tough to watch

Absolutely

 

[stcjones]

Out-run, out-thrown, out-caught, out-tackled, out-covered, out-thought, out-coached, out-played.

And no guts or balls....add that to equation

 

[FortressX]

Dion is using this as motivation.
Don't be angry.

Good for Him.

I am glad to see Mike is the right track as coach.
I thought he might be a bit young.

 

[luuked]

I don’t think anyone here can not feel like BB is coming to an end in his coaching career....and frankly....his relationship with Kraft, Brady, Guerrero etc is still not great....and his attitude and decision making in coaching this team still seems to reflect that...I think he’s ready to move on after this year and good for him....he is a legend....nothing else to prove....same thing for TFB.....greatest of all time....don’t want to see him get injured or take a head shot....I hope he gets out when he sees that he doesn’t have it anymore....and the team isn’t going to support him anymore.....sorry but you don’t surround and protect the goat with this steaming pile of dung OL.....

Apart from BB getting older like any other organism in this universe I dont see how any of what happened today suddenly makes him closer to the end

Similarly generally speaking this might be one of the best OL Brady ever had. Today was a garbage day with some players being injured and others in and out. But please dont give us any of this **** about our OL being a problem. Overall it might be the most consistent unit on offense this year. Not the TEs, RBs, QB or WRs.

I sincerely hope I am wrong and will gladly admit it if I am.

 

[TennisBallHead]

And I'm shocked the post game show canned that open-mouthed, heavy breathing blob of goo Charlie Weis.

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

Brady thrown 1 TD in last 3 games...

They’ve only lost 1 of the 3.

 

[Jackson 2]

Didn’t bother to show up. I put that on coaches more than anyone, nobody but Edelman was worth a s*** today. That only happens with poor preparation and focus in general. Can all but kiss the 1 seed goodbye.

If theres any way to put a positive spin on things, We are pretty fortunate to be 7-3 now considering none of the 3 losses were very competitive. That means pretty much every game that was in doubt so far has gone our way. We really need to be more consistent going forth and we really need gronk to be gronk if we are going to play for a title.

Disagree. The coaches bear some blame, but the guys on the field were those who failed more than anyone.

 

[stcjones]

Sammy Sammy Sammy

We have the tiebreaker vs. KC

and the Texans

No one else is beating KC.....they will represent AFC I think....and NO looks like unstoppable force on NFC side....would be amazing SB between the two

He pissed because he wanted to get paid by the team he busted his ass for. I get it.

Both Burk and White are in the top 25 highest paid RBs. He's not informed.

The problem is when it comes to paying players in certain positions , his expectations did not align with this organization's philosophy.

If his agent had a brain he would have told him that.

 

[stcjones]

If Lou Saban were still our coach he'd be hoarse by 6pm

He would have been hoarse by 1:10 today....

Game was not on in my area. How'd it go?

Jaba the Hutt needed a stunt double?

This team also needs its WRs to be on the same damn page as the QB.

• Gordon cost the team a timeout because he didn't know where to line up
• Hogan got aired out by Brady for not reading a come back
• Edelman basically got plunked in the head because he misread either a route or an adjustment

That sort of **** needs to stop.
