I'm encouraged by Will the last two weeks. He could have had a TD to Oliver but threw it behind him. Great adjustment and Will was blanketed by defenders. No problems with the INT in that situation as you are fighting the clock as well. Great podcast again fellas. It'll be interesting against another good defense in Houston if he can keep it going. Having a third good week against another good defense is going to really make the '25 talk heat up.

To add to Melo's point about the defense deserving that 4th down stop, that was their first red zone stop of the entire YEAR and it was ripped away from them. Un-fucking-believable

They should fine the refs like they do the players for bad calls. We have problems winning games so, we dont need any help from the refs

Looking up and still losing!

I love listening/watching you guys but I've got to disagree with you on the fact we didn't play well enough to win, some of them calls were huge momentum swings I think the titans win something like 20-13 without the penalties. I still think we can improve but we deserved to win that game

I wanted more passing than running in this game as the Vikings are 5th worst in pass yards allowed per game and 1st in run defense so I am not mad about the running stats since we knew where there Vikings strength was. QBs that beat the Vikings were above the 8 yards per attempt stat line, which is what I wanted to see from Levis and he did that. I would have liked to see at least 50 yards on the ground for Tony and maybe that get's us the W.

Top 3 worst officiating I’ve seen in my life! Maybe these refs should get fined for bad calls and they’ll look like they care a little more. They need to be held more accountable and the line needs to be redrawn in the sand cuz this is pro sports and some of these calls are wayy too ridiculously obvious. They sleep at night great too, which sickens me lol

I'll drink to having the number 2 pick in the draft as of this week.!

They most definitely lost this game due to bad referees

I am worried that Levis, while having much better performance today, made the wrong decision on almost every option play called today. Pulling the ball from the back when the edge defender basically has you wrapped is reflective of the bone-headedness you probably can never completely coach out of Will.

The refs just wanted to smash my already broken heart 💔

Gotta love seeing some improvement from the team, especially from Levis and the special teams unit

Melo needs new internet provider or a new computer cuz that random freeze in the videos is annoying sometimes. But besides that I look forward to yalls videos. Perfect length and good insight on stuff.

Been apathetic most of the season, but this game got me heated. Have watched a ton of football in my life, and this was the most obvious and blatant showing of refs having a severe bias against one team. Levis' best game of the season too, showing why I think he should absolutely get 2025 as well. Actually hoping Callahan gets fined this week, cause this shit needs to be called out.

I thought Levis’s throw on the interception was perfect but Ridley slowed up for just a second so it looked like an overthrow. He still threw into double coverage but if Ridley runs full out the whole time he would have been able to knock the ball away or maybe pick up a PI.

Levis looked a lot better this week…. Although, no podcast I’ve heard yet has talked about the first half where he did absolutely nothing. The refs were ridiculous as it was most of our offensive line… hopefully with the high draft picks we can get a great edge rusher and right tackle and build something solid for next year

SKOL! Yall booty.

I’ve never felt so haunted by referees. Last game was bad, but this one was Nightmare at Nissan.

What did you guys think of the darnold fumble that they overturned that Key forced? I thought that ball was loose and the “regained control” thing just bc he got 2 hands on it for 0.5 seconds was kind of BS

I like the resiliency of the team this game even if the refs made sure that we lost this one. At this point, the only way the Titans could have won that game is if they made a trip with the refs to the waters of Lake Minnetonka to purify themselves lol (Dave Chapelle's voice). On the other hand, I'm not too mad at the loss since we remain in pole position for a high draft pick...call me conflicted I guess. Levis is showing progress just enough to be a bridge QB next season. If he becomes more, good but I'm not there yet with him. The RT position at this point is just a battle of backup RT next offseason, if not all of them being gone this offseason...what a mess ouff. The defense missing a lot of key players held their own for the most part vs a potent offense. Let the tank continues while we get more clarity for next offseason

Worst officiating I’ve seen in an NFL game. But too be honest, their has been a lot of bad officiating all over the league this year.

Didn't get to watch every play cuz I was working today, however, from what I saw Levis was more than serviceable. Loved seeing coach get absolutely livid on the sideline after the mike brown call, regardless of record u wanna see ur head coach care. That being said Sam Darnold was carving up the zone early, that Jordan Addison touchdown was pathetic

Overall I’m encouraged I think this is one of the best games will Levis has played. And I thought it would be disastrous for him but he handled the pressure well. I think if games like these become the norm we will not be looking for another QB next year! I agree that the officiating was atrocious!! And it would have pissed me off even if it were the chiefs getting screwed(which would never happen) just because it ruins the game!

Wow, I've watched hundreds of Titans/Oilers games, and I've never seen refereeing like that in my like. Have you guys?

He would have been under 200 yards if it wasn't for the one long play

I would like them to go edge r1, wr r2, cb r3, safety r4. Then some development dudes after. Most of the QBs that will come out this year seem too high risk for me.

I love the thought of an EDGE in this draft. It’s past time to draft some young talent at that spot.

Good show

I am actually going to this game, so everyone pray that I don’t consider it a monumental waste of money at 3:30 CT on Sunday lol. Couple of things 1. It’ll be fun to watch the movable force v. stoppable object that is Sam Darnold’s redzone struggles v. Titans’ horrible redzone defense. Something has got to break 2. I think this game will be competitive for, like you all sorta alluded to, at least 3 quarters. Maybe 4. Vikings have looked pedestrian since the 5-0 start and have played some bad teams 3. Do y’all see James Pearce as an EDGE that could be a top 5 pick? Would love to have him be worthy of a pick to shit some Vols fans up lol. 4. Do y’all think Allar and Nuss may fall to the second round, and the Titans could pull another Levis and take a skill player in the first then a QB at the top of the second? I hate the idea of taking a QB in the first in this draft, so it’d be cool if that could work Also fellas, I know the season is lost but I really enjoy y’all’s insight on previewing and reviewing the games left on the schedule! Lots of these players and coaches will be on the team next year, so it’s nice to hear y’all analysis on how they played or how they may play. Thru good and bad, regular season football is what we ask for all spring and summer!

Thanks guys. Great job sticking it out this season. Just a helpful correction for Melo, Vols is pronounced "VALLS" like "YALLS".

Would love to see them pick a non-QB in the first round this year, at this point the other positions look way more exciting

First comment, LFG, Titan up

Despite the pile of Ls, I'll still Titan Up. Ya'll stay safe out there!

My biggest complaint is the crappy roughing the passer calls the happen those are so different from ref to ref

Nobody has scored more than 20 points against the chargers this year.

Levis is still my guy and a good game but getting harder to see past the "cement feet". Graver's analysis that QBs don't typically improve on sack avoidance rate is adding to this concern. But agree with comments above we don't have a QB in 2025 draft. Lets keep working on him. Almost as important...our Trench King is balling out - what a player🙌🙌🙌

Titan Up, fellas!

Stop hating on the pump fake that shits a touchdown every time he does it 😂😂😂

If Herbert didn’t fumble that ball, then we got completely screwed when they called Dobbs fumbling in that Jags game that if we won we would have been the playoffs in 2022. If anything HERBERT’s fumble was much more persuasive than Dobbs. I truly believe there was no doubt Herbert fumbled and that very well could have changed the outcome of this game. It’s just frustrating!

Another great show gents, I appreciate you guys staying engaged through such a let down season. I saw a good replay of Herbert's throw, and it was 100% a fumble. Tbh, among the worst calls I've seen. Off topic, isn't it crazy how many times the Titans have scored 17, wow, I've never seen that either.

As far as Levis… This was not an impressive game… Ridley was so wide open on the first touchdown that I could’ve made that throw🥱 … for half of the time when he dropped back, he just looked lost out there… he looks lost🥺

100% a fumble… his arm was clearly going backwards when the ball was knocked out… it’s really not that hard to see… I don’t know how replay can get a call that wrong!

Levis definitely played his best game of the year. Huge step in the right direction and needed for his confidence as we go forward. Excited to see him build on this. He played a game without doing 80% of the bad shit he has done before. Cut out holding the ball too long and see how he looks. Onto that reversal call… COMPLETE BS!!!!!!! I am SO sick of this league with this crap. They ALWAYS take the more attractive option when it’s close and the Titans are NEVER that option. I am so sick of it!! It is complete bias! They do nothing to increase transparency and awareness and since it’s the Titans, and we suck, no one will push hard on them and no one can say anything without getting fined. Completely egregious BS, and I swear it just reeks of corruption. I can’t stand it. I’m mad and talking crazy, but I genuinely think they should be taken to federal court over the refereeing of their games now that they are married to sportsbooks. They should have 100% transparency or receive fines. Absurd!

#Titanup

Will just a backup at best. He reminds me of Blane Gabbert.

Levis is not the guy. But the guy also isnt in this draft. We are in a tough spot

The L's will never keep us down. We've lived through some pretty rough dark times. Levis definitely looked better Sunday, any growth is progress, but we need definitive progress over these last 7 games. The pocket awareness can definitely improve but he can't take forever with it, it's definitely more of a problem than the O-Line itself minus RT. Overall, as you guys said, excited to see him play this week (it'll be local tv for me and my hoodie will at least get recognized 🤣) and look for any positive. As always, and for the algorithms, TitanUp!

Where your Titans threads, Graver?

Always a great podcast!

I agree with the concerns with regards to Levis becoming a Danny Dimes, however doesn’t he still have 2 more seasons, after this one, at cost control? Also I feel that Mike Vrable’s first season as head coach had plenty of flaws that made me wonder if he was a long term coach. I feel Cally still should be given a solid 2 seasons to see if he has it. The special teams is just a bin fire.
