    You don't think home wins is THE #1 focus? I can't imagine a scenario where it isn't.

    Has the need to win at home been addressed publicly by the organization? Because if it has, I missed it. It would certainly reassure me (and I imagine others) that winning at home for the loyal fans IS a priority.

    We have been losing at home in a dismal fashion and after losing the hope opener it still hasn't been remedied. The exotic smashmouth Mularkey advertised really didn't do a lot for home W. And we know how unpopular the Mularkey hire was and who was his biggest advocate. How are fans supposed to believe the ownership is actually in touch?

    I would assume winning, in general, it's a given. That is like any for-profit business having to state making money is a priority.

    By looking at what they are doing off the field to help this franchise win. They're opening the purse strings on free agents. They've upgraded the St. Thomas Sports Park. They appear committed to allow Trader Jon to do whatever it takes even when it isn't the most cap-friendly solution. I'll never understand keeping Mularkey but AAS seems to believe in him and, though I don't, will give it more than one game to see the changes.

    Two mistakes by our QB cost us a home win against a playoff team. I don't believe in moral victories but I saw a team continue to play after the wheels had fallen off. I hope that's a sign that the process has begun.

    It has been since 2009 that we went over .500 at HOME!

    09 5-3
    10 3-5
    11 4-4
    12 4-4
    13 3-5
    14 1-7
    15 1-7

    Pitiful Home Record. It should be no mystery why games quit selling out. Yet some folks still hold on to PSL's in hopes that home wins will return. Those are the folks that ownership should be addressing and acknowledging their loyalty and dedication to the organization.

    See above. But I'd add that exotic smashmouth as promoted by Strunk's unpopular choice for HC did NOT put our franchise QB in the best situation.

    In his defense, this team is lacking talent and experience to spread it out and be effective. It's easier to add a couple of OL and a RB and pound the rock.

    I'm hoping we didn't see as much of a power formation attack last week because they respected the Vikings front 7. If we don't see more of a ground game this Sunday, then I will be shocked.

    last 6 games of 13, all of 14 & 15 plus first home game of 16 ....

    3-20 .130 at home....

    next time the Titans have a home game it will have been 143 weeks since they have beaten a team that is NOT the Jaguars....

    143 WEEKS ...

    those 2 Ws over the tarpkitties were by a total of 5 points and 1 of them was a blocked FGA on the last play...


    the home failure over the last 3 seasons is epic
