Titans D didn't show up for parts of the 3rd and 4th quarter. Had they performed like they should have, there would have been no need to put up more points. The offense performed well enough in this game to win, it was the defense that was the let down.
Yes, they could have won the game with a few more offensive plays, no doubt, but holistically, the defense could have played better in the 2nd half against a garbage GMan offense. Saying that, taking nothing away from Barkley, because he is still special. But to give up a buck 50 to Barkley was not good.
*EDIT* Not to mention the flipped field on the muffed punt. <<< That was huge. This was the single point of failure IMHO besides the defense.
So, yes, I'm going to go against the grain and popular belief on this one.
