    You're right about the 1-2 thing, but it's not the record itself that has me on the ledge persay, its the performance and attitude.

    I'm done with Locker, and I'm not overreacting. Its year 4, and he still has games (back to back games now no less) like these. What you've seen in 4 years is what you get.. Some nice throws and good performances, and then wildly inaccurate throws and "worst game ever" performances. Today and last week, Jesus he does not even look like a pro QB. Watch the tape from last week and this week, how many wide throws does he miss? Surely it's more than 10.

    On defense, we get whipped. We don't have 2 good corners even, the DL can't stop the run, and we take penalties at inopportune times. Same goes for the joke of an OL. Levitre is crap, so is Oher.

    Sankey was a bright spot today. He should start the first drive next week in Indy.

    Man, these last 2 games have been excruciating. Cincy wasn't even that good today, they're just competent enough to take advantage of a completely inept team. Sickening.

    Yup, the loss to the cowgirls feels like the first nail in this season's coffin. The bengals, I expected better, but still didn't think we'd win that one.

    This team is so bipolar it is absurd.

    Once the season starts, preseason expectations go out the window. After beating Kansas City (a lot of people here thought we would too) we should have beat the Cowboys. Instead we lose our home opener and get embarrassed this week. We now have to travel to Indianapolis and back home against a tough Browns team. There's a very real chance of us starting 1-4. Locker has had back to back pretty bad games and no one is really stepping up on either side of the ball.

    It's a long season but there's also not a lot of optimism. I didn't think we would win today but we just flat out stunk it up today. We'll see how the next couple of weeks go but right now we need another franchise QB, probably another weapon on offense, and of course some actual talent on defense.

    I don't think anyone is freaking out that we're 1-3. The freak is occurring because today a MAJORITY of the fan base realized that Jake Locker is not the guy and they want him out. The losses would be much more bearable if they were happening because our rookie with potential is taking his lumps in the NFL.

    Every game that Locker plays in from here on out is a waste of time and resources. I wish that Whiz didn't have to live down the reputation of pulling QBs too quickly because I really believe that's the only reason Jake hasn't gotten the hook yet.

    Everyone should get off the ledge because Locker laid a big greasy chit on it.

    It's not that we're losing but how we're losing. Being totally dominated and having a 4th year QB that is looking totally inept.

    I've said it before, if we're competitive and battling and still losing but looking competitive and getting better I'm ok with that, that's growing pains. The play I've seen the past two weeks is just flat out embarrassing.

    Not jumping of a ledge here just being a realist, growing pains I'm ok with but double digit flags for 100yrds, missing wide open receivers more times than you hit them, missing back to back 40 yard chip shot field goals, repeatedly blown coverages, etc, etc etc...that I'm not ok with and anyone not drinking some sort Titans Kool Aid shouldn't be ok with it either.

    Spot on about Locker. He's just not the guy. I'm glad we're finally coming to terms with it. He won't be the starter next year. Hopefully we'll continue sucking enough to land Mariota (I doubt it), or Mett is the answer. One things for sure, it isn't Jake.

    Corner is a position we absolutely need to draft either rounds 1 or 2 next year, or sign someone. BWW is young, but he's getting exposed hard.

    I've usually liked Ruston, but he should definitely be on a hot seat.

    We have playmakers.. Wright, Hunter, Walker, Sankey.. Sankey needs to start the game next week period. He was the lone bright spot today. QB needs to hit our playmakers though; they themselves could be doing a better job, but 85% of it falls on Locker. Also, Lewan should be starting soon. Oher is crap.

    Can't blame Whis IMO but he needs to hold guys accountable. Avery Williamson should see more time next week, he looked good today. Repeating myself but Sankey also. Bench guys who are underperforming.

    Why hasn't whiz using mcluster like sproles,like he said he would....and why isn't there any screens,wit mcluster....why is wimbley ans Morgan playing linebacker,unless there always going after qb at every play....I think the defense should be like this dline wimbley,Casey,morgan....linebackers Shaun Phillips,Zach Brown,Wesley Woodyard,williamsion....we got lots linebackers why we putting defensive ends at linebacker....

    Not really. But I didn't expect us to get straight blown out and embarrassed.... for the SECOND week in a row.

    I agree with you here. But QB is a huge deal. It doesn't matter how the run game and defense is performing, if Jake can't put the ball where it needs to be we're going nowhere.
