Honestly, probably was right to target Ayomanor but the accuracy on this throw is GOD AWFUL. Should thrown it higher and to the corner. If he even got it over the safety, there’s little hope Ayomanor could get to it. No way he could’ve gotten positive yards if he ran it.

The titans moved into 5th in worst 61 game stretch in NFL history. Being 12-49 and a .196 winning percentage. They only trail 3 teams (Tampa , Cleveland, Detroit) who had winless seasons and the Rams.

From going 7-3 in 2022 and the 1 seed to the current state…A fall off like this has never been seen in NFL history before. It is basically impossible to be this poor this fast in the modern salary cap and draft rules. With being a smaller market. Few have truly understood just how poor this stretch has been.

Two more losses puts them chasing only the Browns for the worst stretch over a period of time record wise

What tf was Bill Callahan doing

It's "looking forward to the draft" season already. Jokes aside, if not a QB then what position?

I completely understand the frustration with Cam Ward right now. Yesterday was brutal. The offense looked awful for most of the game, Ward missed throws he needed to make, and then he had the game-winning opportunity sitting right there before throwing the interception in the end zone. There is no defending that. Ward needs to play better. Period.

That said, some people are jumping way too quickly to suggest moving on from Cam.

Ward is a second-year QB who was the No. 1 overall pick. Whether we like it or not, that makes him a multi-year investment. You don’t spend the first overall pick on a QB and then give up after a rough stretch unless you have overwhelming evidence that the player simply cannot be developed.

We’ve repeatedly seen how patience is a key factor in QB development.

Bryce Young was benched during his second season after an awful start in Carolina. Then he got back on the field and finished that season strong and is now looking like the guy in Carolina.

Sam Darnold is an example of a team pulling the plug too soon. The Jets moved on from him after three admittedly horrendous seasons and he bounced around the league looking like a career backup. Then Minnesota gave him an opportunity where he became a Pro Bowler and he would, eventually, become a Super Bowl MVP in Seattle.

That doesn’t mean Cam Ward is going to become Sam Darnold. It doesn’t mean he’s guaranteed to figure it out. And it absolutely doesn’t mean we should ignore how poorly he’s playing right now. It means we don’t know yet.

I’d go as far to say that the team needs to find out what Ward looks like with another year in the system and more experience reading NFL defenses.

If we’re sitting here at the end of next season and Ward still hasn’t shown meaningful development, then it’s time to have that discussion. But trying to have that conversation now just seems incredibly premature.

I’m pissed about yesterday too. I just don’t think the answer is to throw away the investment after 20 games.

For all you geniuses still crying that “no actually Cam is accurate, the O Line is who SUCKS”, here’s a 50th dose of reality.

Lack of development or not, his accuracy is flat out atrocious.

Like god damn man. Hasn’t improved at all since last season and his footwork is still terrible. What were they even working on all summer

Everyone has been focusing on cam and only talking about him (As they should) But I feel like no one has talked Dike being completely garbage for us this year so far.

There's a difference between no help and just plain bad. A competent QB on a bad team can, at the very least, make the easy throws.

Remaining Schedule

@ Ravens

Texans

@ Colts

Browns

@ Bengals

Jaguars

@ Cowboys

@ Jaguars

Commanders

@ Lions

Colts

@ Raiders

Steelers

@ Texans

Looking at the remaining schedule, I don’t think we have the offense to hang with a lot of these teams. Our best game this year we scored 20 with a +2 Turnovers Margin and 10 of those 20 points off the turnovers. 

• Ravens, Bengals, Cowboys, Jaguars, and Lions all have more firepower than us. Unless we have a crazy anomaly game these have to be very unlikely. 
• Colts, Raiders, and Steelers have shown much more explosive offenses, but we could maybe catch them on a bad day. I’d put these as unlikely. 
• Commanders, Texans, Browns have shown vulnerabilities we may be able to exploit. So maybe a toss-up on some? 

Whaddya say, folks?

I'm tired... Time to have serious questions about Cam Ward, man.

This equates to us scoring 17 or less points in 59% of our games. Over the same period, the remaining 31 teams average 17 points or less in 27% of their games. No team has scored fewer total points or averaged fewer points per game than the Tennessee Titans since the start of the 2022 NFL regular season.

One thing I've noticed last year and this year is that Cam does not go through his reads, stares down his receiver as soon as he gets the ball, and either forces it to them or bails out of the pocket.

Every. Single. Time.

Not only do I think he can't read the defense, I think he's having trouble even anticipating what they're going to do.

He just does not seem comfortable. He seemed more relaxed in the second half, and that is promising but it just sucks man. It's the hope that kills ya

I'm not out on Cam, and I look forward to see if he can show improvement next week

Daboll saw how bad the offense looked week one when we didn't try and establish the run. He made changes week two that made us look semi-competent. Now, yes, this is sort of the bare minimum you expect from an OC but we haven't had that for some time now. This week, they saw Cam look good playing with tempo (which has been talked about by staff but not actually implemented for over a season now).

Next week, we play with tempo and win while putting up 24 points.

Or we lose after scoring 6 points off two field goals in the late third and early fourth despite the defense continuing to play well and holding the Ravens to 17. who's to say.
