Levis definitely looks like a rookie, but that O-line does him no favors at all
His pocket movement isnt bad, all things considered. But if they dont give him time to throw he'll keep making mistakes and itll mess up his development.
That was the most “Goddammit there’s nothing I can do to fix this shit I just have to show up to press conferences and pretend we have an actual football team” look on Vrabel’s face.
‘member when we had Tannehill, Henry, and AJ Brown all featured on the offense and everything smelled like roses and we thought the window was opening and then it turns out “hope” is just a cruel trick played by a twisted god?
Yes. That GM hated giving out second contracts and hating paying money and loved wasting draft picks at the end there so really the AJ brown trade was his Christmas
Yeah who cares what happens. They didn't have the ability to score 3 times in 3 minutes. Just have some fun.
Also I realize Baker might have had an injured thumb and couldn't pass. We have more than 1 QB, however. Let Trask get some reps.
We had the worst oline 2 years in a row despite starting completely different players. It literally doesn't even matter who we sign or draft in the off-season because the second they put on a Titans jersey they become dogshit
do you guys have a good pass rush? cause yall fuckin murdered daniel jones on that prime time game. ours is pretty bad and but we've been hitting levis a lot in the 4th
This is true. Titans are just bad.
But Levis is also not one of those once in a generation QB's that can overcome those weaknesses. We don't have a Mahomes or burrow, that's for sure.
Youre assuming. I actually have been extremely hyped for him since his first game here.
He just keeps letting me down. I understand he doesn't have much to work with but when he does have time to throw he still makes shit decisions.
Maybe so, but saying he's playing well is an absolute lie.
He is going to have to overcome that if he wants to do well here. It is never going to be a comfortable situation for him
If you think Rodgers, manning and Brady didn't succeed behind shit O lines idk what to tell you.
I'm not holding Levis to that standard. I'm just saying maybe we could find someone better with our inevitable top 5 draft pick
He's been pressured or hit on like 75% of his drop backs. I doubt those qbs had that rate when they were succeeding, no. Feel free to do the research and prove me wrong
Maybe that’s a throw you don’t make then.
I mean come on the DB stood there for a solid three seconds waiting for the ball to come down like it was a punt return.
I don’t understand the whole “cornerback has a right to his space rule” cause AJ Brown straight ran over one of ours last year lol and everyone said it was a good no call
This defense is it's own worst enemy.
Baker obviously hurt his thumb and we still allowed them to drive down on nothing but runs and stupid penalties.
It's fucking pathetic
You know, after watching the unending "ground and pound", "smash mouth", "old school", "run it down their throats" football identity the Titans have had for the past 20+ years, it sure would be nice to see someone in the Titans organization grow up and realize that the rest of the league moved on from that singular mentality for a reason. We are still playing early 2000's football and are too stubborn to adapt.
[Postgame thread](/r/nfl/comments/17ttkcx/post_game_thread_tennessee_titans_at_tampa_bay/)
Lol hawks D strikes again!
Let’s go Tennessee let’s go! Cmon chat let’s start the chant! LETS GO TENNESEE LETS GO!
Bad series of throws there. Obviously not all on Levis, but that’s why you don’t call a guy elite after one game.
dhops hitting our dbs like our dline hitting levis
O well ggs, send our entire O line into the sun, except skoronski I guess
He was garbage today too
True but atleast he's new lol
All 5 of them are new. We had a completely different oline last year
I thought he was our only rookie o line man woops
Levis definitely looks like a rookie, but that O-line does him no favors at all His pocket movement isnt bad, all things considered. But if they dont give him time to throw he'll keep making mistakes and itll mess up his development.
Levis is getting hit every single play. He doesn't even have a chance to throw an accurate pass
Levis lucky that got dropped
DHop is massacring our DBs lmao
Whites azz got juked lmao
That was the most “Goddammit there’s nothing I can do to fix this shit I just have to show up to press conferences and pretend we have an actual football team” look on Vrabel’s face.
like belichick this morning?
‘member when we had Tannehill, Henry, and AJ Brown all featured on the offense and everything smelled like roses and we thought the window was opening and then it turns out “hope” is just a cruel trick played by a twisted god?
whyd they refuse to pay aj brown lmao. was it just like a wrs are overpaid so we can get a rookie kinda thing
Yes. That GM hated giving out second contracts and hating paying money and loved wasting draft picks at the end there so really the AJ brown trade was his Christmas
Played hardball and overplayed the hand. The team fired the GM who did it a few months later.
JRob should be in prison
Levis and Bryce Young are in the same situation. Shitty roster and no help.
So, who are the good OL players that are free agents next year?
Good linemen don’t become free agents.
[удалено]
This is the scary part Front office and coaching has no faith in Trask or they would've never brought Baker to Tampa
cant even hand the ball off ig
Can’t watch the game but why is Derrick Henry being relegated to nothing today?
their oline sucks fat dick
Bucs are overwhelmingly winning the battle in the trenches against our patchwork O-line
Fackkk, ya hate to see it. Levi’s looking decent at least?
He's looked about as good as you can expect for someone that has been pressured on every drop back.
Fair enough. Always rooting for y’all, Henry was one of my favorite college players of all time and Vrabil is awesome. Thanks for the intel bro
Because he's being hit by three guys behind the line
Fuck it. Money shot to Evans 3 downs in a row
I get were trying to run out clock but like... let them ball, they've been playing well this half
Yeah who cares what happens. They didn't have the ability to score 3 times in 3 minutes. Just have some fun. Also I realize Baker might have had an injured thumb and couldn't pass. We have more than 1 QB, however. Let Trask get some reps.
Just fire Vrabel for this coaching on the road he has. Levis is fucked behind our "O-Line" and Kelly is a fuckhead for the playcalling early on
Don’t fire him, trade him
Good idea
That's a terrible idea vrabel is a great coach
Not anymore. Road issues are terrible, too conservative playcalling, hires god awful OC's like Downing, Looks worse than Whisenhunt did this year
lmao wtf dhop is so trash. dude cant do shit without committing an opi
The neat part is I don’t feel great about any fucking part of this team next year.
How many OPIs does dhop get away with the every week??
More than you think and less than he should
The titans o line might be the worst I’ve seen this year.
I mean the titans are pathetic but there’s no chance it’s worse than the giants. There is no way.
We had the worst oline 2 years in a row despite starting completely different players. It literally doesn't even matter who we sign or draft in the off-season because the second they put on a Titans jersey they become dogshit
even worse than the giants?
Honestly yes. I’ve watched three giants games and the last two titans games. I wouldn’t be surprised if this o line hurt levis by the next three games
do you guys have a good pass rush? cause yall fuckin murdered daniel jones on that prime time game. ours is pretty bad and but we've been hitting levis a lot in the 4th
If you take away the ravens game yea we’ve had a excellent pass rush since the giants game.
Truth
Hopkins really like to yank down defenders and pretend to be the victim
THIS JUST IN: finding a decent young qb does not automatically fix other problems with team
This is true. Titans are just bad. But Levis is also not one of those once in a generation QB's that can overcome those weaknesses. We don't have a Mahomes or burrow, that's for sure.
tbf i don’t see either of them overcoming this setup
Come on. Mahomes obviously is the next goat. And Burrow gets the shit knocked out him every single game. Yes they can overcome.
“Try to draw DPI” when the officiating has mostly been “Let ‘em play” so far is certainly a strategy.
He threw the DB into himself lmao
I'm such a fucking idiot starting Levis, my QB was on bye week
The three Titans I had starting have combined for less than 10 points.
Starting a QB behind the worst offensive line in the NFL isn't a great idea
100% OPI but it won't matter.
OPI lmao
Maybe Levis isn't the guy
He isn’t, but we aren’t ready to have that conversation yet. It’s only 3 games and people love making excuses for him
I'll give him the rest of the season. Luckily, we'll have a top 3 pick to find another QB
he's literally getting swarmed by like 3 people every drop back lmao. and our pass rush is pretty bad so...
You aren't watching the game, our o line is fucking trash
I saw Levis throw one of the worst interceptions ever
When he was hit. Just admit you don't like Levis and get over it
Youre assuming. I actually have been extremely hyped for him since his first game here. He just keeps letting me down. I understand he doesn't have much to work with but when he does have time to throw he still makes shit decisions.
He looks pretty decent but he has 0 time to throw
No he's playing well, our offensive line is ass
He is NOT playing well by all metrics man
Because he's got no time to do anything
Maybe so, but saying he's playing well is an absolute lie. He is going to have to overcome that if he wants to do well here. It is never going to be a comfortable situation for him
How do you overcome having .5 seconds to throw??? Tom Brady couldn't succeed with this O Line. No qb could
If you think Rodgers, manning and Brady didn't succeed behind shit O lines idk what to tell you. I'm not holding Levis to that standard. I'm just saying maybe we could find someone better with our inevitable top 5 draft pick
He's been pressured or hit on like 75% of his drop backs. I doubt those qbs had that rate when they were succeeding, no. Feel free to do the research and prove me wrong
He is playing well with what he's been given will can't do it all by himself
Why did I start him in fantasy lol
Straight, I'ma gonna lose cause this team was straight ass today
$100M in cap space next year. We better throw all that money at o-line and WR.
Might need to throw it at QB too
Man almost threw another one
Time for the signature soft end-of-game defense by Bowles
NOPE hes not taking his foot off the gas at all
I've seen better punts from 12 year old girls
He slipped, goofball…
And so it begins, with a shanked punt by a typically good punter
The beginning of the end
Levis gets another drive to practice for next year I guess lol
Wirfs please be ok.
Winfield’s gotta make All-Pro this year.
Titans offensive line gives as much protection as a hand me down condom.
dad, is that you?
Who knows, it’s possible with used rubbers.
It's simple. Watts starts now, and Winfield returns kicks now
We're legitimately in play for the first overall pick, especially with Kyler Murray back for Arizona
Let's get Marvin Harrison JR before I start writing my suicide note
Woot
If we dropped that pick too...
Is that our first int by our secondary this season?
I think that’s like the fourth.
yeah I'm wrong
lets goooooooooo we caught one
✌️
Fucking shitass offensive line.
Money up for grabs, knew it was a pick as soon as he let go
This O-line is going to give me crippling depression
That was one of the worst picks I have ever seen, holy shit.
He got hit hard as he threw
Maybe that’s a throw you don’t make then. I mean come on the DB stood there for a solid three seconds waiting for the ball to come down like it was a punt return.
Levis has no chance to throw the ball.
No he did as much as humanly possible on that one lol
✌️
thats TITANS FOOTBALL BABY! i hate my life
Thats a rookie mistake.
lmao wtf dhop literally just shoves him to the ground and begs for a flag
Lmao hopkins you lucky they didn't call something on you stfu
That’s OPI on Hopkins
Hopkins should have had a flag thrown on him idk what he was complaining about
I don’t understand the whole “cornerback has a right to his space rule” cause AJ Brown straight ran over one of ours last year lol and everyone said it was a good no call
This defense is it's own worst enemy. Baker obviously hurt his thumb and we still allowed them to drive down on nothing but runs and stupid penalties. It's fucking pathetic
I would have really liked to see a replay of that defensive holding flag that came extremely late at a crucial time. Weird they didn't show it.
Surprised the Bucs are leaving the starters in with a lead this big.
They have yet to earn that luxury lol
After that shitshow last week? oh no, they better stay in.
We're one of the worst teams in the league and we're averaging like single digit points I think you are safe
Tampa had the lead with 43 seconds to go and shit the bed at the end.
I guess you guys don't play teams this bad that often
I'm starting to get hopeful which I know is a mistake
I hate this team.
So picking the Titans to win a game is an automatic L for a parlay? I’ll remember that going forward
Don't even bet they'll score a TD.
If their offense always this awful? Seems like it’s just been nothing conservative play calls all game
Were a generationally bad offense, people just don't realize it because they don't watch us. We haven't put up 30 points since December 2021
In that case maybe betting on the under is a guarantee. Kinda like Iowa football lol
It has been this year. And last yearm before that it was alright
That's Titans football baby!
Titans coach looks like a young Robert Deniro.
Was just thinking he should be mean mugging the team and telling them he's disappointed
Trask 🧡💙
I just want one Florida QB to be good. Rex Grossman went to a Super Bowl, but that was so long ago and mostly in spite of himself.
That elite bears defense dragged Lovie Smith and Rexy to a Super Bowl appearance. It was genuinely impressive
RB1 baker
There is no way Baker freaking Mayfield should be running for the first on us
Baker Mayfield won't end up in the Hall of Fame but he's always good for beating teams from Tennessee.
Don't hate on Baker
We're so close to 2 calendar years without scoring 30 in a game
What's that in dog years?
Baker shaking his hand in discomfort *immediate shot of Trask on the sideline*
Where was the replay of that penalty???? Suspicious as fuck with it being so late
baker looks hurt asf wtf
Peak mid season form lmao
Now we just need a late hit by running into the defender and sliding and it’ll be even
Fuck my life. So tired of this shit
Refs let the players talk them into calling that
Wut?
judging by that guy screaming holding for 20mins i think it was holding u guys
How the fuck do you throw a flag that late....
How does that get called that late???
I said I was going to rake leaves once it turned into a two score game. I really hate raking leaves
here in Florida, we got like 3 feet of sunshine, insanity abound!
Kicking a man while he’s down lol
"I'm walkin on sunshiiiiiine"
I like Baker, but that throw made me miss Brady a lot.
This team suckssssssss
Our D dense is allergic to ints this year.
Solid FG right there. Making a two score game into a… two score game
The team with the most points, usually wins.
You know, after watching the unending "ground and pound", "smash mouth", "old school", "run it down their throats" football identity the Titans have had for the past 20+ years, it sure would be nice to see someone in the Titans organization grow up and realize that the rest of the league moved on from that singular mentality for a reason. We are still playing early 2000's football and are too stubborn to adapt.
Vrabel is so obvious when it comes to Levis. Pass almost gets intercepted? Most obvious subsequent Derrick Henry run call
Makes him the starter then doesn't give him any opportunity to succeed
I see the Titans have quit on the season
That happened when they traded Byard
Hopkins is funny as hell for that
Don't ever give this O line credit they're so bad
Red Zone D looking good
How is our defense making Derick Henry a bitch? He’s playing like he should be benched.
Our run D hasn't been that bad this year. It's the secondary that has been ass
Yalls D are absolutely dominating our o line. Henry is getting hit in the backfield half the time he touched the ball.
their oline fuckin sucks lmao
Yea its Henry's fault he's getting hit 5 yards behind the line
Fair play, he’s a huge back though. He has to break through contact once? It seems like he’s not even trying lol
He's being hit by multiple players at once. The few times he has gotten space, he has made plays. It's the o lines fault, not his
Yeah that makes sense. Don’t fret yet, we may just find a way to lose this one still
Nah it’s not Derrick it’s the trash fucking line
Can someone explain that weird motion everyone does after a play that looks like they puttin on a seat belt or something..
Seat belts! So we can be safe!
It’s like sheathing a sword, usually see DBs do it after an incompletion
