The Titans once again struggled this week as they lost to the Patriots 31-13 at Nissan Stadium on Sunday Afternoon. The Titans fall to 1-6 on the season, and will face off with the Colts this Sunday in Indianapolis.

Cam Ward struggled again, having another backward fumble for a touchdown, which put the game away in the third quarter, and another interception as well. Ward is growing through a lot of growing pains so far this season, and will hopefully improve over time, as interim head coach Mike McCoy can help him turn things around.

However, McCoy didn’t impress in his Titans debut, as the Titans failed to score in the second half. McCoy also had to urgency to score at the end of the first half when down 17-13, which got him booed off the field.

It was the post-game comments from Patriots wide receiver Keyshon Boutte that sparked a massive debate about the Titans this season. Boutte, in his post-game press conference, stated: “We took advantage of lazy cornerback play and lazy safety play.”

This sparked the debate about the players' efforts and desire to play this season. However, Boutte wasn’t the only player who had talked about the Titans' efforts this season.

Michael Pittman of the Colts shared his thoughts on the Titans after their win against them earlier this season, saying, “They didn’t look like they wanted to play. No energy.”

A member of the Raiders coaching staff also commented about the Titans after their win just a few weeks ago, describing this Titans team as “the worst team we’ve seen in 25 years.”

Just keep in mind, this is coming from a Raiders coach. Besides their 20-10 win against Tennessee, in their last two games they have played, they have been outscored 71-6. That shows you just how bad and how little effort this Titans team is giving.

They have players getting paid millions of dollars, such as L’Jarius Sneed, to go out there and give half the effort you would hope from a top corner in this league at one point. Tyler Lockett just asked for his release from the team after just seven games, and I don’t think the fire sale will stop there.

It is concerning to see where this team is at just seven games into the season. They are already focused on the 2026 draft and onto next season, not even halfway through the year. I don’t know who can save this sinking ship, but at this point, the Titans need to focus on retaining the right players for next season and making good hires to turn this franchise around.
