The Tennessee Titans Continue to Struggle, Now Down to 0-3

Blank Placeholder  Image.png

The Tennessee Titans' all-around struggles continue as they have fallen 0-3 after a loss to the Indianapolis Colts this past Sunday. Everyone, including myself, knew this was not going to be an easy stretch of games by any means for the Titans.


However, this team hasn’t been extremely competitive. The Rams took them down by more than 14 points last week, now the Colts won by more than 20 this week. The defense that looked phenomenal in Week 1 has looked lost the last few weeks as the Titans have given up 74 points in two games.


Cam Ward started the game with a pick-six, but then settled in, throwing for 219 yards and a touchdown. Chig Okonkwo had a nice game with five catches and 66 yards, but this was not enough to keep the Titans in the game.


The Colts have been a major surprise this season, as no one expected this outcome from them early in the season. They have been dominant on the offensive side of the ball and have done enough defensively to win games.


In the past, the Titans have been able to stop a Daniel Jones-led offense, but yesterday was not their day. The Colts look like clear-cut favorites in the AFC South early this season, while the Titans look like they will be destined for the first overall pick once again.


The offense is still going through some growing pains, and the defense is having trouble stopping anyone at this point, but the coaching is once again a major issue. I understand a coach can only do so much, but Brian Callahan looks consistently lost on the sidelines.


Callahan has been super conservative on the offensive end. Callahan ran the ball five straight times, all while being down multiple possessions to start the second half on Sunday. This, while taking a delay of game penalty after they had just called multiple timeouts, is not something an NFL coach should ever let happen.


Teams like the Colts and Bears have made excellent hires in the head coaching world, with the Colts getting Shane Steichen and the Bears getting Ben Johnson. The Titans really struck out this time around as Brian Callahan simply has no idea what he is doing. Fans are sick of it as well, as the Titans got booed into the locker room at halftime.


There is nothing I can see Callahan saying to motivate this team going forward. It's been three games, and I feel that it is quite obvious that he has lost the locker, and it only took three games. Everyone who follows the Titans knows he is not the man for the job; it just comes down to when his time will be up.


The Titans will get the 0-3 Texans next week, in a battle for last place in the AFC South. This is a must-win game for Callahan next week, because if the Titans get blown out again, Callahan won’t have a job come Monday morning.
