I was there when the MM8 and DH22 Titans beat the Alex Smith and Travis Kelce Chiefs. (I think that was 2017) Fans were uneasy even when they were up by 2 scores because they've watched Alex Smith just not be good enough numerous times before. And then we came back and beat them. The guys behind me were SO devastated, F U Alex Smith F U Alex Amith etc. Next year traded up to get Mahomes and Boom. Super Bowl in 2020
I don't know how anybody thinks RT17 is going to be able to beat the mental demons of doubt next year with the massive bed sh!tting he performed at Nissan. I think JRob and Vrabel are working TB12 to come to us in some role- just speculation of course. But something tells me they are working on some way to off-load RT17.
I mean, seriously- some offensive head has to roll if the organization intends to generate ANY buzz for next year. It has to at least be Downing, and even that might not be enough.
