How much longer can you really keep doing this every week with Staley? This team is anti-clutch under him. If Jerry West and Robert Horry are the pictures of Los Angeles clutch, the Chargers are the antonym.

I remember a few years where the Chargers specifically kept squeezing the Titans out of the playoffs by having late season surges that snuck them into the playoffs, like, the early Norv years. But lately... just insanely frustrating. Feel for you guys.

Benne posted:BetOnline has new odds on "next coach fired." Some ... interesting names at the top. Don't really get Vrabel at all. Team's stripping down for a rebuild, so what's Vrabel's sin, not understanding the assignment and having them play better than their personnel? Also, the Browns are playing a bit too well for Stefanski to get serious consideration, but I guess the whole team being run on wildcard logic makes it more possible. Also don't think Allen should be getting that much ire since the Saints are doing better than I expected. Rest of these kinda justify themselves.

Benne posted:I can only assume it's whiny Titans fans and/or their division rivals betting up Vrabel (remember these aren't predictions) I mean, from a superficial perspective, it makes sense what with the Titans trending downwards for the second straight year in a row, but it ignores a lot of context with the roster and such.

Relentlessboredomm posted:Allen is very very bad and the Saints are only beating the absolute dregs. The man actively makes the team worse, hell there was a stretch late in the game with the Bears where they were only up 1 score and they kept punting on their own 40. It was maddening. As a Bucs fan I hope they keep him around bc that dude’s never doing better than like a 8-9 / 9-8 division win over a truly garbage NFC S division and even that’s his absolute ceiling I can see what you mean, and Allen is definitely a mediocre coach, but I'm used to seeing defensive coaches do a poor job defensively for their teams, and I think the Saints D is one of their better aspects. If there was a way to get rid of the man at the top while not losing that edge, that'd be preferable for New Orleans.

fartknocker posted:Yeah, that's been the Chargers for many, many years. It's wild, because fifteen years ago, the Chargers MO seemed to be really sluggish starts and then figuring it out and making a big run in the second half of the season. The Staley Era though has been like a mirror of the Angels: "We have the ingredients to win, now let's find a way to lose anyway."

The fact this Titans team won 3 games instead of, like, 1, is testament to Vrabel for me. Kelly has to go, his playcalling is uninspired on top of everything else. Bowen...

What's wild to me is, I get the arguments for Young's motivation, but of all the backups to veto jumping in while your rookie fixes his mechanics in practice a bit more, and it's Andy Dalton? Like, the Jets would probably kill to have an Andy Dalton right now. Why would you have as quality a backup as that and say, "Bryce can never take a break and prepare more." It's not like he'd be briefly losing the job to Easton Stick or whatever, it's a dude with significant starting time in the league. Why do you even have Dalton if you're never going to consider playing him.

YOLOsubmarine posted:Dalton is good enough that the team would actually be in contention for the South this year with him starting, which means Bryce wouldn’t be starting at all this season. The problem with having a decent backup for your rookie QB is they’re probably going to be better than the rookie QB for at least a while so you really can’t switch back and forth during the season unless you really want to create havoc. I'm not sure if I quite agree with that. Tannehill would be a quality backup on most teams for the same reason as Andy, but Levis has outplayed him so that even coming back from the injury it's Levis going forward. Meanwhile, Dalton is currently outplaying Young, so if it's a true meritocracy, you try Young out, see he's not there yet, and stick with Andy.

What I've liked about Vrabel is he's taken some really banged up defensive units and still had them playing meaningfully late in the season. That matters a lot, more than taking a shot on a potential offensive whiz kid who then doesn't know what they're doing (like Arthur Smith!), so I'd much rather we just have hire an offensive ccordinator who doesn't get into predictable gut run/gut run/pass on third and long cycles for once.

Dumb as gently caress. Who are we going to get? We're easily the latest entrant into the coaching race. Why has the past three years of this team just been a series of shot feet?

# ¿ Jan 9, 2024 18:38 |

Wonder if this is over Will Levis somehow. Vrabel started him but I'm not sure he ever had full confidence in him. Might have wanted a different QB to work with and the Titans said, "No," but that's extreme conjecture. Definitely want a post-mortem on this.

kalensc posted:Oh, I forgot that the Titans had confirmed Mularkey would be back after his playoff win, only to about-face a few days later. There's chatter that Adams Strunk is rather aimless, initially indicating confidence in going one way before changing plans without an obvious impetus. Article lost me hard when it criticized the Robinson firing as nonsensical. Yeah, it's weird how getting dominated by AJ Brown in a game after trading him will make you question a GM's ability! I don't think Adams Strunk has been the most stable owner, but losing confidence in Robinson is not the most absurd choice in the world. If these leaks are anything to go by, I'm wondering if Bill not being totally ready to "part ways" with New England is just throwing a wrench in everyone's plans, which is what the "doing a trade would take too long" means, because by the time Bill makes a decision one way or another, the coaching roulette is exhausted and you're hosed (and the Titans probably don't get Belichick in the meantime). So better off jumping in, especially if someone has your interest, and whatever goodwill is there isn't because Vrebel clearly wanted to move on, preferably to New England. It's... not aimless, but it is a maelstrom of circumstances that could potentially gently caress the Titans, but I'd like to think if there's this much urgency to get in on the coaching search that there's already a coaching target. I'm going to reserve judgement until I see who the Titans hire. I don't think this is the end of the world, but it could be. Too soon to tell.

This is some pathetic posting, man. Yeah, Stroud turned out to be better than people thought, which means the hopes for a team that just fired their GM and was clearly bracing for a rebuild disappointed for their lofty projections this year. All this tells me is Titans fans absolutely need to keep memeing because it's clearly making everyone else melt down in envy of fans actually liking their team even when they're bad.
