Our Defense should be embarrassed

This win was a pathetic win. We should've destroyed them in a bounce-back game against an opponent with ONLY 1 WIN IN THE SEASON. Yeah, I get injuries and holding and refs but our offense was pathetic in the 4th quarter, absolutely pathetic. The Seahawks are their own worst enemy right now.

Meh. We were starting a backup LB and a practice squad LB, and the D was clearly gassed the last 5 minutes or so.

We were also never in any realistic danger of losing this game.

Sure, we all wanted to see a curb stomping. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to settle for a win and an 8-3 record.

I think Ward had a pretty good game he was making plays that we couldn't stop, I will give the kid his credit...

Outside of the long PR, not a lot doing for TEN on offense. WRs held to under 50yds a piece (looks like one fella had 51?). A QB with two TDs isn't a bad day. A lot of bend, don't break shenanigans. With a group of scrub LBs in, it could have been way worse given it was SEA 2/3/4s going against TEN 1/2s.

Take the win and get back to full strength next week (hopefully).

Were people watching the same game I was? There were like eight or more times where Cam incredibly escaped our pass rush and came up with a play that I had to say...Wow!...I can't believe they made yardage or converted there.

Like 5/7 4th down conversions.

Dude played well because our defense allowed him to.

Yep, We should've had 9-10 sacks in this game, but Ward was like a buttered up pig out there today...

Sometimes you get beat on plays simply because someone is playing really well. There's a lot of talent in this league.
Ok fair enough.

Maybe someone will take the time to look up how often 4th downs get converted at a 5/7 rate in one game.

I’d wager that it had more to do with our bad play than the Titans good play.

I’m embarrassed as a fan.

Titans scored way more than they should have, and converted more 4 th downs.

Guess they go hand and hand but I hope that squad is embarrassed and gets their manure all in one pile soon
They have a lot of injuries, it happens and they will heal while the players recuperate.

If you were seeing what I was seeing, particularly in the 2nd half, you were seeing our defensive front just running over their offensive line on almost every snap. Ward had no pocket to speak of or time to process through his reads. I couldn't believe we didn't sack him 3-4-5 more times than we did.

Even when we flushed him from the pocket we were still chasing him down most of the time. Yet he either ran for positive yardage, or hit some receiver in the clutch the majority of the time. How about that time where we collapsed the pocket, had him on the run to the sidelines, and he jumps in the air as he's going out of bounds and hits that receiver to move the chains.

Anyway...I just thought he played damn good today, and if he wasn't doing his Houdini thing we would have won by a lot more than we did.
