    don't know why it's so hard to understand........ if you're unsatisfied with the team, you can switch.... otherwise, just hang on for the ride... every team suffer disappointments.. we had VY.. who was our franchise QB who could win games but not playoff games... that was what basically killed us...

    I agree.. It seems like the team has had the exact same problems for three years now.. no pressure on the QB, can't cover over the middle etc

    Essentially yes, but it's not as bad as it sounds.

    Let me make an anology.

    If you're average looking 40ish year old dude with no money, you don't go to a club and hit on the hottest chick there. You're going to get disapointed. You try to get your money right first.

    If you're the manager of McDonald's you don't treat your employees like they're lawyers in a top law firm. You know, keep them on the edge of their seat 24/7 thinking they're about to be fired. They'll just say F it and quit because they're frustrated.

    What i'm saying is Munch can't treat the Titans and his players like McCarthy treats the Packers and his team..... They aren't the same. If you act like every loss is a major major failure you're players are going to get extremely frustrated and lose morale fast.

    Fact is, this team's going to lose. There's just simply just not that much talent. Particularly on defense.

    Ever wonder why people are soooooooo hard on CJ for not moving the chains and getting touchdowns, but nobody puts down the D line for getting absolutely no pressure on the QB. Nobody puts down the linebackers for blowing assignments and not getting off blocks. People do fault the O-line a lot, but that's just because they wanna defend their hero.

    It's because CJ's shown and proved he's capable of being great. He's just not doing it. You can't blame CJ for just simply not having it in him.

    A lot of the players on defense just don't have it in them to be great in the NFL. Yeah it sucks, but you can't really fault them for not being great when they just aren't great. They're a group of guys that got a shot at their dream and a shot at making a ton of money, trying to prove they deserve to be there. Maybe they don't. Not their fault.






    Long story short, yeah they are accepting mediocrity because they're mediocre.




    I'd say if we wind up 8-8 that's living upto expectations. If we wind up 9-7 that's pretty damn good for what we have. If we wind up 10-6 that's EXCELLENT! For our team.





    Ask me if I still feel that way in 3 years though.

    Well, we got rid of Fisher - the epitome of mediocre. That's a good start.

    Of course the Titans are not content with mediocrity.


    I do think the front office, Bud is too concerned with the bottom line and has developed an irrational fear of the salary cap and taking chances on players. And maybe too much ego regarding draft ability and value of our draft picks.


    I know I should let this go but.... Brandon Lloyd for a 5th rounder!

    Let me put in a sentence:

    There is a reason this organization has not won a Super Bowl.

    Exactly.There is a point where you have to take chances and go the extra mile but the front office here never does.The fact that we needed WR help bad and the guy could be bought for a bag of peanuts.We really could've used the help.
