As the trade deadline looms, with the Week 9 advance just hours away, there seems to be an obvious truth that the users of PML are not talking about. The Tennessee Titans are currently the coldest team in PML. And before you ask, yes this entire article is going to be me, s******* on the last 5 weeks. Are we going to talk about the fact that Rookie QB Bryce Young (A.K.A Breezy) started 3-0 in his first career starts? No. Are we going to talk about how our defense forced 17 turnovers in those first 3 wins? No. Are we going to talk about how Derrick Henry is the leading rusher in the league? No we’re not. We’re going to talk about how since that 3 game winning streak, the Tennessee Titans have become ice cold. And I’m not talking bout that b**** on my wrist. I’m talking about some of the worst madden I’ve ever played. And yeah this is the best consistent comp I have ever gotten in a CFM. PML is truly different.
Let’s start with the offense. ‘Breezy’ himself in the last 5 games has a 57.6% completion percentage with a 8/17 TD to INT ratio. We are blinder than a bat when we try to pass the ball. Don’t get me wrong, Breezy himself will miss some throws. However, these losses are on the user, not the team. Nate Davis (currently out 4 weeks with broken ribs for like the 5th time this cycle) is the only starter left from the starting 5 at the beginning of the cycle. They’re not good. And yet Derrick Henry is Derrick Henry. And for some reason, we seem to forget that. We try to throw the ball. Why in the f*** am I throwing the ball? We’ve established I am one of the worst passers in PML (JT, this one is for you in case you want to give me a gunslinger QB next cycle just to limit test. Have to plant the seed early). Combine that with the conspiracy that you get with Rookie QBs’ accuracy. So here I am, baked out of my mind, telling anyone and everyone. I will run the ball non-stop if I have to (Greeny, if you’re reading this, teach me your ways). I give absolutely no f**** about what anyone thinks about it. I am 3-5, I just lost to the 1-6 Indianapolis Colts. By 24. At home.

Onto the defense. Do you want me to say I miss Josh Jobe and Amani Hooker? Yeah I miss them. Who wouldn’t? Do I regret ultimately trading them for Breezy? No. Has the defense gotten worse since last season. Yeah it has. Even with young Superstar DTs, Tim Smith and Zaach Pickens, the run defense is cheeks. 22nd in the league in rush defense. Just gave up 227 rush yards to Jonathan Taylor and co. The defense isn’t in the top 15 in any other major category. Total yards (18th), Passing yards (17th), and Points (17th). Yeah the offense has put in tough situations at times. But the defense hasn’t been the same since the week 2 game that doesn’t need to be talked about again. The secondary has more holes than Swiss cheese, the linebackers are dealing with injuries, but we couldn’t stop a nosebleed right now. If things are going to turn around, it has to start on defense. Proceeds to open YouTube to do some “homework”.
I’m not going to lie, I have no clue how to end this article. I never thought I would write whatever the f*** the last three paragraphs are. We got a little stoned. We got a little drunk. Sue me. The team has holes, but it’s got some young talent too. It’s time to simplify the offense, turn up the defense and win some d*** football games. We got hit in the mouth, broke some ribs (F*** you Nate Davis), and now it’s time man tf up (S/O DLloyd). The AFC seems to continue to be tough. The South is just as tough with the Jags and Texans starting off to a fast 6-2 start. We’re 3 games back. Time to nut up or shut up.
