Ryan Tannehill

Wasn't there some talk earlier in this thread about Tannehill's dependency upon Derrick Henry to have a good game?

Henry's stats: DNP, 0-0
Tannehill: 17/27, 272 yards, 10.1 ypa, 3 TDs, 0 INTs, 133.6 PR.

@MikeMiracles
Tannehill’s 20th passing TD of the season which gives him the 5th best single season mark for the Titans since 1999. This is just his 9th start of the year. Unreal.

Stop me if you heard this before, Tannehill has lost two straight games in December i\and each game important to position for playoffs, Titans are 8-7 into into the their last game, have I seen this movie before?

....Have you saw what happened in these past two games?

Okay, but keep in mind that Grier and Flores already looked at Tanny and concluded he wasn't good enough. The same guys that will be picking a new QB in 2020.

Fixed.

Edit: And this game was NOT important to the playoffs. If they win next week, they're in.

Tannehill's passer rating today was 133.6.

Since 2013, teams have won 73 of the 78 games (97%) in which they had a passer rating between 130 and 136.

So Tannehill certainly didn't lose the game.

I feel bad for Tanny. He hit Raymond with a beautiful pass just for that dirty Saints player to hit him in the head. Tanny would of drove them for clearly a game winning TD.

Titans got robbed.

Except Tannehill played well against Houston (the closest to a "must-win" situation he's faced with the Titans so far) and really well today (not a "must-win" situation). This is very different from years past where he played either mediocre or really bad (e.g., last 2 games of 2013) to end the season when the playoffs were in reach.

I don't really see the need to debate this issue right now. Let's just wait and see how he plays against Houston in the season finale. To 99% that's a must-win situation and if it comes to it he needs to out-duel Watson. Win-or-go-home time.

Not sure it would have been game winning, unless he managed to burn all the clock and get the touchdown.. saints would have likely had some time left.

I saw on TV that the Pitt loss was a big boost to the Titans....so are they in a "win and in" scenario? The standings show them currently in control of the #6 slot; just want to make sure nobody can leapfrog them next week as long as they win (and let's face it, if they lose then they don't deserve the playoff berth anyway).

It's definitely exciting though and I agree...the Titans have been a blast to watch this season. I actually finished the Fins game about 15 minutes ago because I was tuned into the Titans. LOL, I had no idea the Fins went into overtime and all that chaos that ensued!

Win and their in. Simple.

However if somehow Pittsburgh beats BAL they get the tie breaker.

TAylor Lewan has taken a few steps back this season, for a guy that has been a top 5 lt most of his career hes been turnstile this season and his penalties sre pathetic

By "they" which team do you mean? Pittsburgh beating Baltimore has no effect on the "win and in" part for the Titans. Titans hold the tiebreaker over Pittsburgh if both win their season finales.

First tiebreaker is head-to-head which doesn't apply, next is conference record and both will have the same, next is record against common opponents and both will be 3-2 there, and the next one is strength of victory – combined winning percentage of teams you beat – and Titans beat Pittsburgh there even if both win their final game.

So it's win and in for the Titans.

Wow, thanks for clearing this out.

LOL @ Tannehill losing the games. He was the best QB on the field in both games.

I hope the Titans sign Tanny this off season because he's a perfect fit there. If not i think the Cowboys should try to outbid them because Prescott is nowhere near the money he's demanding. Either way i see him being a starter somewhere the next few years.

And it screws with your correlation of Tannehill’s passer rating and Henry’s production. Convinced yet?

Deoin Lewis was a scrub today replacing Henry.

What was shocking is Tanny still looking pretty good without a running game. Titans oline has been inconsistent all year. Lewan looks like a complete scrub

I don't care where he ultimately ends up as long as it isn't New England. I'll be perfectly content to see him start for any of the other 31 teams.

Tannehill is going to get paid big time.. his contract will be similar to Goff/Wentz. 110 million guaranteed. the Titans have no choice but to pay, even if its a one off..

If you look at the post in which I mentioned that correlation, you'll see I used it inductively, to generate a hypothesis to be tested, rather than deductively, to make a conclusion. I also mentioned the relationship can be bidirectional, meaning that Tannehill could be elevating Henry's performance as well. I think that suggests that I'm convinced that Tannehill is indeed playing well. Whether he's one of the best QBs in the league again we'll need more time to determine.

Titans need Pittsburgh to lose and win next week for them to get that wildcard spot.

Jets are currently up by 3 atm.

If Tennessee wins, they're in, regardless of Pittsburgh

AAAAAAAND....

Titans opened as a 5.5 point favorite over Houston, who will, apparently, be resting Watson, Fuller, Joseph, Hyde and Stills...maybe even Tunsil who got nicked up this last game.

When someone says he has to outDuel the other QB... Where does one factor in the other players who will be actually completing the QBs passes?

Well, I don't care if Houston rests those players and its an asterisk game...just so long as they make the playoffs.

And I bet that will make Kansas City a bit nervous as that would be the Titan's first game.
