To me I think Ballard's biggest issue is not  drafting a young qb. I thought when Luck retired, they should have been planning to go high and pick one. No, they lead everyone to believe that Brissett had starting talent. And do u Also remember that Ballard brought him in for an extension? That's when Ballard lost me. Then we go to Rivers who had maybe a year in him. Then they went for Wentz who I was on board with. Does anyone to this day know what was Ballard's plan if Wentz didn't ask for a trade? Do u ever ask yourself that question? We went into the season with the #21 pick and no qb. We knew our LT maybe had a year in him and he retires.  So we draft a defensive  player in the 2nd round who won't do anything for us. I don't trust Ballard's drafting anymore. So we sign Fisher coming off an Achilles. Fisher maybe a stud again but I  don't think people really evaluate Ballard's team building.  P . S. I did like Paye coming out , but I really wanted the corner  the Titans drafted.

Irsay said a few times after   the Wentz trade that they had discussions on how they were going to get in position to draft a young QB. If Wentz had not been available I will almost bet Fields would be a colt right now if they could out bid the bears. There were all kinds of rumors they were in love with Fields. He fits Reich’s criteria in being tough and highly accurate so I could see it.

If they were in love with Fields then I really question this teams ability to evaluate talent. My brother in law is a Titans fan. He loved Fields. I said I would stay far away from a qb out of Ohio State.

3 turnovers and you still lose?  

 

This redzone offense play calling (and execution) is beyond pathetic. 

 

One of the trips to the redzone JT was on the sidelines the entire series. Inexcusable. This keeps happening and I don't understand why. HOW DID TAYLOR ONLY HAVE 10 CARRIES??!??? That is asinine. 

 

Already been saying this since last year, but Reich needs to turn over the play calling that can make in-game adjustments. 

Titans always have great play calling for the situation, and have for a few years. 

 

Going for the FG (with a kicker that has yet to kick a 50 yd FG) at end with a minute to go when you are down more than 3?? SMH. 

 

Rock Ya-Sin has really looked good this year at least. 

 

Kenny Moore was back to his usual great standard of play. 

 

 

I get why Frank chose to kick the FG there, yeah it was a far one but makeable. We needed 2 scores, so you get the 3 there and try an onsides kick. If you get the kick at least you have a few shots at the endzone. I even agreed on both 4th downs where he went for it and he got them. My criticism of Frank is, JT only got 10 carries. I agree 100% with you that is asinine.

Fields is going to be a good once Nagy gets fired.

2021- LMAO ANOTHER ONE 

 

it’s kind of mind boggling 

The curse of the years ending in "1" has actually been going on for many decades.  As one Terp to another, I'll take your 3 terrible years and raise you.

 

1981 - terrible year

1991 - terrible year

I don't even know how you quantify this, but yes. We're weird sometimes with how we do things and when we choose to do them. 

Yup. Hard to quantify for sure, but for me, boils down to personnel use and play selection. RB rotation seems awful at times. Not going to plays that worked, be stubborn using plays that haven't. Not seeing JT again after 2 pretty successful touches was head scratching. Things work decent for him when he has a dominant OL, but he doesn't seem to be able to overcome things with creative scheme when he can't rely on guys bullying people.

The ball is being moved. The offense works but for some reason what we are doing in the redzone does not. Solve that problem and theres at least 14 points you can add to each one of those scores

Our RZ O was poor last year too, I think 21st. We were pretty decent in 18 and 19. In 18 though, we pretty much ran the Luck offense without a lot of change. In 19 we played bully ball.
