    Well, looks like all the preseason power rankings were right. We're nowhere close to being good and honestly are probably a bottom 5 team.

    Jake has got to go. He's just not a franchise QB and that's all there is to it folks. 4 years in the league and still hasn't been able to put it all together. No sense on wasting anymore time. Mettenberger absolutely should be active, at the very least, next week.

    We need to bring in corner help immediately. I know there aren't any elite players just sitting out there but if we are serious about trying to win this season then BWW as our #2 just isn't going to cut it. I know he's young and inexperienced but that's no excuse for all the mistakes he made out there today. I don't even think Tommie Campbell ever screwed up that many times in one game.

    Ruston's tenure as GM is starting to look highly questionable. I liked the guy initially but there's no denying that his moves, both in the draft and free agency, have left a lot to be desired. I'm not saying fire him now but he needs to be on a very short leash from this point on.

    We need to get our supposed playmakers more involved. I know it's tough to get your WRs involved when you have a QB who can't hit the broad side of a barn. But if it takes a QB change then it takes a QB change. Hunter has got to be more involved. Wright has got to be more involved. Sankey looked good today and needs to be more involved. Lewan needs to be getting some meaningful snaps. I say plug him in at LG for Levitre and see what happens. I can't imagine he'd be much worse.

    Whis & Co. need to man up and take responsibility for the mess they've put on the field so far this season. Don't keep banging your head against the wall. Make some changes and try something different... BEFORE it's too late. Make these guys accountable. Sit the guys who have been god awful and see what the next man up can do.

    I'm so freaking sick of "same old Titans". And I'm so freaking sick of "maybe next year".

    If we don't make some serious changes we have zero chance @ Indy next week.

    Anyone remember before the season when I said we'd go 2-14 if we lost to Dallas...

    That might happen. We're THAT bad.

    Starts with Jake. This game would've been A LOT closer if he could make accurate throws.

    We'll see where we're at during the bye week, but the coaching staff may need to bench him soon and give Mettenberger a chance.

    1. Agree on Locker

    2. Cornerbacks. This is BWW's 2nd start, its going to take time to see if hes the guy. Hopefully he improves through the season. We just have to wait and see.

    3. RW should have been on the hot seat already

    4. We don't have playmakers, we only have potential. Something I was screaming all last season while this board sat here and told me "we have the talent, we just need coaches who knows whats going on". It was BS then, it still is now. Which leads me to 5

    5. I do not fault the coaches in any way. He inherited this team and is doing his best with it. I have seen plenty out of the coaches to be happy with them. Reality is sitting in about the talent on this team and everyone is going to come around to the fact that WE ARE NOT AS TALENTED as most on this site thing.

    I get that. But like I said, we need to decide whether we want to win NOW or we're just playing for next year. Because if we want to win now then we don't have time to waste waiting around on BWW. We already don't have a QB. Last thing we need is a starting CB shooting us in the foot left and right.

    Ill have to watch all22 before commenting too much on his play to see if there were any positives.

    We are not winning now and anyone who thought that going into the season, bought into the camp fluff pieces.

    The only thing that will bring excitement to the year is if Mett comes in at QB.

    Passing on Lavonte David in favor of Brown and making Locker the starting QB are both two horrible moves by Webster.

    We actually do have playmakers. Locker just can't find them.

    He misses countless open WRs every game.

    I think with an actual QB this team looks a lot different. Does it make us a "contender"? Probably not. But I think we're at least in both of these last two games if we have a competent NFL QB.
