    For sure, I'd be pretty pissed if we lost to the Vikings week 1 now.

    League is deprived of QBs, can't see any team moving a good QB

    I find it pretty amazing that Bridgewater going down makes this a "should win game" now for the Titans. Some basic facts tell us this game is still gonna be a tough game for Tennessee.
    Titans 3-13 last year, Minnesota 11-5.
    Their offense doesn't revolve around the QB, it revolves around AP. Despite every team knowing this, they won 11 games last year.
    Tennessee still has to prove that any of these offseason moves are going to pay off. I know everyone has talked about the JR moves and we've all hyped up some players that no other fan base even knows, but this team has yet to play a regular season game.
    I know I was the only one on the other thread that gave Shaun Hill any credit, by the guy is not terrible. He's only been a regular starter in 2 of his seasons, but even so, he's a 62% completion percentage and has 49 TD to 30 INT, not what I would call a turnover machine.

    There is no way that I would call this game a "MUST WIN" for Mularkey. This is his first game with a new team coming off a 3-13 season against a very tough Minnesota team.

    Minnesota as it stands is better than us....Plain and simple. Backup QB or not. Best thing we can do, is stay healthy.

    Don't rule the vikings out. It's gonna be a good game still especially with AP healthy. Have you seen our defense lately?

    Fact: Teddy Bridgewater averaged less than 1 TD per game.

    Fact: Teddy Bridgewater averaged just 200 yards per game

    Fact: the Vikings were dead last in the NFL in pass attempts per game last year.


    In all honesty, losing Teddy doesn't hurt the Vikings that much. Teddy was basically playing the role of backup QB anyway... not expected to make big plays, and don't turn the ball over. Manage the game and let your D and running game win it for you.

    To me, this game is just as hard for titans to win as it was before. Either way we were just going to load up the box to stop AP
