For me:

I remember not caring much about football when I was a little guy and my dad took me to see the Titans. After the game you used to be able to line up at a fence to get autographs as players walked to their car. Little me was too shy to go up to the fence so I just stood back with a little pack of cards my dad bought me and watched the players sign autographs from afar..then Eddie George came out and started signing autos and out of all the people he noticed me standing next to my dad like 20 feet away from the crowd and ushers me over to sign my card and ask me how I was doing in school. He made me a Titans fan.

Long story short- Eddie George ruined my life

Continued: 3/7 teams have had their best performance of the season against the Titans. For context: Robert Saleh’s defense has finished top 5 in yards allowed 5/7 last season.

We are 28th currently. I still believe the defense will get better over time, but you have to be realistic about why we’re not winning.

IIRC this is the first week he could be activated from IR. I haven't heard anything about the severity of his injury/how far away he is from returning. Mafi has played okay in his place but it would be nice to get a promising rookie back.

(While we may not be there quite yet) it’s getting close
To time for me to mentally tank for Jeremiah smith. This is super hard to do because it essentially means I hope the other team wins but this doesn’t usually really hit until 2 or 3 games left….but this Jeremiah smith guy. I need him on this time by any means necessary. Our offense would not need to spend anymore draft picks and be essentially set. (Sands qb issues) and then the attention could go defensively.

We are coming down for the Three Days Grace concert and staying downtown. We figured we would get in early enough to watch the game. Best and cheapest place either downtown Broadway or super nearby. Our hotel doesn’t have a large tv or bar area on site.

It seems the Chiefs are in need of a wide receiver and we clearly are far away from completing in any serious way. Thoughts on trying to send Ridley to Chiefs for some draft stock?

First off, this is not against Cam Ward. The Titans were expecting some improvements over the offseason for the offense and specifically Cam Ward. Looks like Cam Ward isn’t able to be consistent enough to perform at his best each weekend. Has Ward regressed? Yes, his regressions are apparent. No doubt. But. The Titans might be 4-3 or 5-2 with a veteran quarterback, but just because the team would be winning, does not mean this team would win in the 1st round of the playoffs or a wildcard match.

For instance. Trevor Lawrence had a sizable losing record before the Jaguars and Lawrence hosted multiple winning seasons. But the difference between Ward and Lawrence is production. Lawrence is an accurate and polished passer, even when he first came to the league. Ward has never played in the same offense in consecutive seasons ever in his career.

Why is that important? Cam Ward has never been in an offense tailored to his strengths and always had to adapt to offensive schemes. Ward has shown a lot of improvements in key areas from last season, but his overall regression has impacted his ability as a passer to be polished and well rounded. And now it seems like Ward make or break season is his third year. What does this mean for the Titans? We need a serviceable, reliable, and proven veteran quarterback commodity to force Ward to lose the starting quarterback position and force Ward to fight for it. I love Ward as a player and as a person, but he needs to be challenged for his starting position.

As for the rest of the offense, areas of concern would be RB1, TE1, and OL depth pieces. You can make an argument for a WR1A and WR1B. Tate is our WR1, and know fans want Smith as the WR1A and Tate as WR1B. I will be completely honest, I love Simmons, I truly love this man as the face of the franchise, but…. If a team was desperate to send a package deal for Simmons, the Titans should listen to offers especially if it involves 2 1st Rd picks. But Simmons is having a career year, the biggest concern on the defense is pass rushers, cornerbacks due to miscommunication, and depth across the DL and EDGE.

The Team has been fairly competitive and close in many games this year aside from two. But the Titans aren’t far off from being able to win close games. At the end of the day, it comes to the offense scoring points. While the defense has been given up points and yards, the defense has handed the offense to score at least 4-6 touchdowns that were left off the field due to the drive stalling or a turnover occurred.

Hello Titans community! I'm a Patriots fan and I'm bored and I have a quick question about a theory of mine. I remember seeing a few Titans flair users in the NFL sub last year after the Patriots signed Mike Vrabel making comments about how firing Vrabel wasn't quite as dumb as outsiders thought. In part because of a "boys club" that Vrabel seemed to have in relation to players he likes versus doesn't like. It's starting to seem really clear that for some reason he doesn't like Treveyon Henderson. Is this boys club something most of you are familiar with and did it ever seem like talented players were on the outside looking in? Could a player ever find their way into the club after being excluded for any reason? I'm just dumbfounded over his refusal to use Henderson much or to his strengths as a player. I appreciate your time and responses if you have any!

Do you think we have the cap space and roster to compete next year with a Tannehill-like player at QB? Or is the roster still too weak?
