Boy, that Titans-Bears game yesterday was a real stinker. Marcus Mariota and the first team Tennessee Titans offense played into the fourth quarter. It took them up until the first play of said fourth quarter to even put some points on the board. Yeah, it was bad. They looked flat, uninspired, and out of sync.
From where Cadbury and I were sitting up in section 329, it felt like we were watching flags thrown after every play. Cameron Meredith’s knee sploded. There was even a literal fight, but I couldn’t see it too well. Cadbury says there was a lot of slapping going on, but I can’t report on that accurately. Adoree Jackson fielded a punt inside the five yard line. That didn’t pan out too well. His head coach was certainly not happy about that. Mariota was sailing balls four feet over his receivers heads.
It was just an all-around shit show. So, yeah – I’m not usually one to jump on the panic bandwagon, but if they play like they did yesterday when the games count, they’re going to be in trouble.
But, it’s still preseason! The Titans didn’t exactly open up the playbook on either side of the ball, so I’ll be legitimately concerned if they come out and play that way against the Oakland Raiders.
Anyway, when the shit hit the fan, Cadbury and I did what any reasonable fans would do. We left! I was incredibly tired of hearing the driveling nonsense coming out of the mouth of the dude two rows in front of us.
Seriously, Titans fans – we need to #BeBetter. This dude was booing the refs after every flag. EVERY FLAG! If Taylor Lewan holds somebody, the refs will throw the flag! Just because it’s against “your” team doesn’t mean it’s a bad call. The Titans offense looked horribly, but this dude was saying things like, “they all suck. Worst o-line in football,” and “we just need to scrap this offense and start from scratch.” SERIOUSLY. Dumbass….
So, Cadbury and I passed the time by talking about how we wanted to do a contest where the winner got the chance to shower with Dennis Kelly. It was hilarious, and the ensuing laughter turned our faces red. We traversed the pedestrian bridge where we paused in an effort to get a tugboat to honk its horn. Surprisingly, we succeeded, and that was the best part of the day….even considering we had a smorgasbord of apps at Joe’s Crab Shack and some beers before the game.
We went to HQ, had an epic contest in NFL Blitz that saw my Titans defeat Cadbury’s Miami Dolphins 43-42 after I went for, and converted, a 2-point try with 0:00 left on the clock. Cadbury nearly took me down in NBA Jam, but since I was up by 12 when we approached the game (really, we finished someone else’s game), it was too much to overcome. Then, we called a Lyft, had an extensive Game of Thrones conversation with our driver, and went home. But, all the while, we were still thinking about that damn tugboat.
Oh, and Taywan Taylor caught a pretty awesome ball. That kid’s going to be good.
Well, folks. There you have it. There’s your expert breakdown of yesterday’s Titans-Bears game.
