Jags don’t need a win obviously but going into playoffs on 2 game losing streak after the winning streak they were riding before the last 2 weeks would be horrible

Not how you wanna go into postseason. Basically what I’m saying I think you get they’re best effort

Only guys that should sit are injured jmo tho

I’m just ticked. We could have won the last 3 games. We are NOT that far away from being a team that competes for AFC championships.

We just need that final piece. Is the final piece a coach or coordinator? I don’t know.

Our coaching staff is an AARP dumpster fire.

I'm even AARP aged and know that old style stuff cannot work in today's game. They get stuck. It's the reason teams can be low scoring for 3 quarters and then light it up in the 4th to win. This team does not have that ability because they have a scheme that plods along the whole game and telegraphs most of its plays. Looks like Butch has taken over.

They are lucky to have 8 wins - it could have just as easily been 4. Yet, they have the talent for 10+ if they had a real coaching staff. The D scheme could work fine if you had a real O. You simply add a couple more quality players in the secondary and find a speed rusher in the off season. Then they are a top 10 D. But the O keeps putting them in bad spots and on the field too long.

Spot on. Our defense has had to bail out the offense so much. I feel bad for Delanie Walker. He has been fantastic and this team hasn’t allowed him to shine more.

Decker has been great too these past weeks.

When the officials make at least 5 obvious, significant errors for one team over the other - with no corresponding significant mistakes for the other team - they are not mistakes. Hit the punter twice, replay corrected two appealed ball placements giving LAR first downs instead of 4th and one, then the on-side kick. The NFL is turning into a bad version of the WWE. If they were innocent errors by officials, they would announce suspensions for how horrible the crew was. Nothing yet. Hope they do to reestablish some credibility. But I see this stuff all the time in other games, not just the Titans.

Demarco Murray has a 3rd degree MCL tear. I’m sure he’ll still out carry Henry Sunday.


Jags saying they won’t rest their players.

It's been one of several completely stupid things that has happened this season. Henry gets punished for being more successful on what should be a playoff team.

Glad the Jags are playing it straight up. Maybe Mularkey and Robiskie will be shown the door.

Completely agree. Wasting Walker's career has been one of the worst things with all of this. Decker is a professional. Blocks as well as he receives and could care less about who gets credit. We need O coaching so bad.

Confirmation bias. When your attitude before the game starts is that the refs are fixing it to make one team win, you’re going to find evidence to fit that belief, however ridiculous that belief is.

If the NFL wanted the Rams to win, it would presumably be because the majority of the money was on the Titans +6, which a) probably isn’t true, because the Rams had just beaten Seattle by about 50 and the Titans had lost to SF, and b) didn’t happen anyway, because the Titans covered and only lost by 4.

Unless the team loses by 40-60 points, no one’s likely being shown any doors on Sunday.

They blew multiple calls, a couple of which were at some of the most pivotal points in the game. You and everyone else can believe however you want, but there is no denying that crew did a horrible job.

They can do a horrible job without it meaning the game is fixed. Just like Derek Carr’s linemen can miss a block without it meaning they did it on purpose because of an anthem dispute. The conspiracy theory stuff is crazy

I knew they screwed that up when they started with saying the Rams called a TO, and the Rams coaching staff immediately started saying "No we didn't." And then they were like "Uh...the ball wasn't ready for play".....like dude made up the explaination 2 seconds before he said it.

I honestly started laughing and shaking my head when he gave that explanation then said "First down....for a kickoff"
