Loser: Fans

Let me say from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry for any part I played it getting your hopes up that last night would have been fun.

I have decades of experience with this team and I should have been able to warn you that whenever everything looks like it is going right for the Tennessee Titans, that only means that they will find some way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Like I said earlier, it was the opposite of a fun game and I can tell you first hand that the rain and humidity combined with the stupid reviews, penalties, and screw ups from the team made Sunday night a terrible way to start this week.

The players don’t care that much about the preseason (which was obvious) and while Mike Vrabel wanted to see execution, when things starting going bad he pulled out Marcus Mariota and the rest of the starting offense just a few plays later.

Likewise, the defense played one series with their starters before they rolled in role players only to take even those guys out after the next punt.

Tennessee Titans fans in the stands had a rough night with loud Pittsburgh Steelers fans mocking them because LeShaun Sims couldn’t cover Juju Smith-Schuster and because James Washington smoked Durden deep. The only response the Titans could give back was, “Yea, but did you see our punter?!” and it was pitiful.
