Murph and Tasker had a guest on the radio around 1pm on Friday. This guy guaranteed a Bills win, because the Titans can't put two good performances in a row together. He basically said they can't get out of their own way.

(frank)in nailed it.

I'm a big fan of Clay Travis, who does a national radio broadcast in the mornings on Fox Sports Radio. He's also on the FS1 show Lock It In, which is really entertaining if you are into betting. He's based out of Nashville. He did a whole 7 or 8 minute live Twitter rant about Mike Vrabel after the game. It was pretty hilarious. I'm pretty sure the entire Titans fanbase wants him gone.

the chargers and atlanta scores 2 more points a game then us

the offense is much improved from last season and will get better

I would rather have an offense getting 18 points per game but moving the ball on a regular basis then have a defense that allows 28 points per game

usually the offense is behind the defense when the season starts

Bills have played two top defenses in back to back games, inevitably bringing down points scored down a peg. Allen and the Bills are still putting up significant yards. The next few games will allow us to up that number with some significantly weaker defenses.

Did I mention the Bills are 4-1 so (frank) off with the complaining?

The offense needs a big game against Miami in two weeks, which I have no reason to believe they won't get.

The guy gets a follow from me for sure. Is he a Titans radio guy? Or just a national talking head

Mariota honestly is pretty bad. I don’t get what coaches saw in him. ...... the rest of the titans are pretty good.

I understand the frustration with the team, but if anyone can't appreciate that the team is 4-1 with significant shortcoming then they are destined to believe the team is going to be terrible forever.

There is a bye week, when they need it.

The defense is unreal, and needs some luck on turnovers. They finally got the sacks that they have been missing yesterday.

The offense is showing signs of life. Singletary should be back after the bye. Duke is an upgrade over Zay.

I am still optimistic.

He played on an Oregon team with NFL talent up and down the roster. Played with some of the most athletic players in college for a long time.... in the Pac 10 while it didnt stack up with other conferences.

Their team is a lot like ours. We definitely have a better kicker, and I'm certain Josh will be a better QB. But they have quality running, solid defense, and some decent weapons with Davis, Humphries, Lewis and Walker. I believe our coaching and chemistry and offensive line is better.

We gave Brady the worst game in like 13 years. Their team is blowing everyone else out, and the only reason we lost was because of the excessive turnovers. Had Josh played Safe Josh, we win.

National.

I think he started local in Nashville, but Fox Sports gave him a national show. His forte is College Football but he covers everything. He's also a lawyer turned Sports Radio host, which is interesting. I discovered him on SiriusXM a couple of years ago. His blog "Outkick the Coverage" is pretty insightful too.

It's a very confusing time, the bills are 4-1, the sabres 2-0. I keep watching wins. If they beat columbus tonight I don't think I'll be able to cope.

The bye week is coming at a good time. The injuries piled up quite a bit yesterday. Be interesting to see who ends up missing time once they come off the bye. Fingers crossed it's not a lot (none would be even better but I'm trying to be realistic that someone may not be ready).

I don't know enough about him to make a judgement. But, based on knowing to avoid anyone that's supposed to catch the ball from a fantasy standpoint, you may very well be onto something.

Their offensive line can't protect him, which is a big problem. He's the most sacked QB in the NFL right now.

Definitely.

Even if Josh stays in the game, I think we have a shot at that game.

He was a solid guest, despite guaranteeing the win

I really like Greg Cosell. No BS, smart and analytical.

I don't think he was the one on on Murph's show (I didn't hear it). I think that was Andy Levitre that said that about the Titans.

Even with bad Josh, we were fine. Just don't get a punt blocked for a touchdown.

Or just convert 2nd and goal from the 1 and a half yard line.

Or TJ Yeldon catches a touchdown instead of dropping it at the 2.

For all the people saying we were lucky yesterday, we got really unlucky with New England.

Who knows, that last ball that was intercepted could have been a better ball from Josh. Faster too. There's millions of ifs ands and buts every game.

We did have a make shift offensive line with all the injuries yesterday. Hopefully they get better.

Also, I hope the bills take the time and trade for a good WR during this week and have him ready for the dolphins.

Duke was a nice internal add, but we need more weapons.

I checked the tape. It was Levitre. I pulled up that Clay Travis rant. Awesome.

Honestly, while luck does play into it, New England is still a better team than Buffalo, though not by as much as we thought. Buffalo is also a better team than Tennessee. The better teams won both games.
