quick thoughts on the terrible titans game

[albany ed]

I do believe if Wentz were healthy, we might have won that game. He had no lateral movement to buy more time in the pocket or roll out. A healthy Wentz could have done that. He shouldn't have played. Colts can lose without him just as easily as they did with him. My biggest fear, the team loses 12 games this year but Wentz takes more than 70% of the snaps and we give up a #1. If he's not able to move well, then don't start him.

A month and-a-half ago, Jim Irsay said that he did not want Wentz playing on Opening Day against the Seahawks unless he was completely recovered from his foot surgery ......

Reich and company would have been wise to heed that advice regarding his latest injuries (2 sprained ankles.)

Incidentally, it may not be just a coincidence that this was the first win for the Titans since October of 2007 in which they had a -3 turnover margin/differential.

Wentz is just as guilty now as he was in Philly. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, that his line was terrible and that's why he took a beating. Nope, seen enough, he won't throw it on schedule unless dude is wide open. Case in point, and a personification of why this team now sucks. Early in the game 3rd down, they load up, they don't just bring 5, they bring 6. Taylor steps up, gives him exactly what he needs to step into the pass, he instead pumps- obviously trying to freeze someone, and in turn basically has to just noodle arm it into nothingness. Terrible, horrible, miserable. It's a 6 man blitz, YOU DO NOT HOLD that ball, you don't hold that ball in high school let alone the NFL.

Then to flip things around and again shine a giant spotlight on how poorly coached this team is. I think it was mid 2nd quarter, think it was 3rd and 12 or something for them. EVERY, and I mean EVERY team in the NFL brings heat in that situation forcing a quick throw as to avoid the receivers or backs getting beyond the sticks. What does Ebersuck do, he goes 4 man only. Not only that, he for some inexplicable reason loads one side with 3 basically in a bunc and then ONE DE on the right side--- one guy on that side of the line. Did we fire a blitz into the giant void in the middle, did we run a stunt, did we do a damned thing to try to confuse the OL? Hell no, we rushed 4 dudes exactly as they were lined up. Tanny sat in the pocket, played scrabble, at a ham sandwich and then tossed the ball to a dude for 15 and a FD.

Somewhere along the line this team deviated from being big, physical, fast, to gimmick gimmick gimmick. Not sure why but we've decided we are smart and we'll use the smarts to beat em'! Hey Frank, you might want to check on Charlie Weiss and ask him how his decided schematic advantage turned out...

This sucks!

And while I am here, this bullsh!t of EVERY F-king pass thrown over 15 yards being a PI, is criminal. This whole game is just trash at this point, very much unwatchable.

I know a bit off topic and posted because of what just happened in GB / SF game, but it also happened to us today so...

Roger has destroyed this game.

It's pretty bad honestly.
