How bad is 1-2 for the Tennessee Titans, and what does it mean?

What does this have to do with the 1-2 record?

The reason I bring all of this up, is to show that the team Titans fan have seen to this point, is not the team that will finish the season.

They are going to get a better team as the season goes on whose strengths should be magnified and hopefully a team that can mitigate their weaknesses.

If either of these two things happens, I firmly believe that the Titans would be 3-0:

-A.J. Brown catches the last pass of the game and the Titans spike it, kick a field goal, and make it against the Colts.

-If Adoree Jackson doesn’t fumble the punt and if they have decent pass protection.

Those two things lost the games for Tennessee and whether you want to throw Marcus Mariota‘s play in there as well you can. The point is that even with the current offense that the Titans are running now, if you play well enough at other positions it won’t make a difference.

That 1-2 record is hard to look at, but if things break the right way it could be a record that all four AFC South teams after this weekend. Then if everything is equal the Titans are the team set to gain the most as the season goes on and it gives them a great chance to turn that 1-2 record into a winning season.
