Loosing with Tennessee with a back up qb is demoralizing

I would have tried a two points conversion after the miracolous play

Defense had an ugly day
He is not the back up Levi's is jus that bad
 
I'm most worried about 2 things.

1. No free safety on this team.

2. AVP. The announcers talked about the Titans sending LBs into the lanes and attacking our OL. You're telling me we don't have a RB leaking out or a WR in the slot sitting just past where their LBs attack?

It took them until the last drive and OT to figure that out, as finally Rham leaked out of the backfield.

When they are attacking your OL with no fear, you counter that by taking advantage of the space they vacate.

2 years ago Rham caught a million passes.

Hey AVP, what is the counter for the Titans abandoning the space 5 yards in the middle?

Instead you dial up only throws on the boundary or else WR screens.

This is just a badly designed offense.
 
Get the first overall pick while showing Maye is good, fire Mayo and crew, attract a good offensive HC who wants to work with Maye, spend tons of cash on offensive and defensive pieces in free agency, trade the 1st overall pick for a nice sum with whoever wants the top QB.

You’d definitely be able to turn this team into a good unit fast that way. Might even be able to get a guy like Ben Johnson.
this has to be the approach
 
our running game today is an indictment of the line... we have to get better.

i do wonder about the turf there... the wrs didnt seem to have sure footing...

wonder what the top was... and if it was even considered when making the decision between going for 2 or OT... the defense was tired... and OT showed it... do we need to add depth in the dl rotation now? just to keep guys fresher... really want to see the snap count as well for the interior DL guys...
 
Most of the other teams in the top 10-ish of the draft need QBs pretty bad and may start a bidding war for Ward or Sanders. So you’d only be trading down a few spots and probably picking up their next couple 1sts and also their 2nd in 2025 too which is a borderline 1st. You’d still be able to get a true WR1 with your new 1st rounder and could trade up with one of your high 2nds into the late 1st for a tackle. Then focus on defense with your other picks, and enjoy having two firsts the next couple years
 
One thing Maye needs to learn is you do not want to be a QB that other teams sit in meeting and say "We know he is gonna give us one this game". Can't have that.

Yep, the higher the pick = more high picks in future years. Keep trading back grabbing 2nds and 1sts etc from multiple different teams. Could be a massive haul.
 
Media saying Maye was throwing into the wind on that last play and needed to be more juice on it.

Didn’t we lose the coin toss and got to choose the direction we wanted to go? Why the hell did we choose to go into the wind!!
 
Jalyn Polk has been a massive disappointment. What has happened? He showed promise in the preseason.
Patriots Wide Receivers drafted in the first 3 rounds in the past 20 years

2006 Chad Jackson
2009 Brandon Tate
2010 Taylor Price
2013 Aaron Dobson
2018 N’Keal Harry
2022 Tyquan Thornton
2024 Ja’Lynn Polk

Fire our WR scouts

Nothing you have said, and I mean absolutely nothing you said is going to happen.

It’s not the same scouts.

If you trade that first overall pick and don’t end up with a STUD offensive weapon for Maye…then the entire draft management team should be fired. Be careful trading out of that spot
