NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Turnovers for the Titans were hard to overcome in Buffalo.

Three of them gave the struggling Bills team a chance to keep the game close throughout.

When you play against poor offensive teams like the Bills, you can’t give them short fields.

Josh Allen is a big arm QB with accuracy issues and will throw into coverage at times. He is also a big athlete that does have some run ability. Allen’s legs were much more effective than his arm against the Titans. 

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – A week ago, Darius Jennings dropped a giant pass in overtime and the Titans were able to bail him out.

Sunday at New Era Field, Nick Williams took a turn making the big mistake, and his team couldn’t overcome it.

The Titans lack of passing-game playmakers is a Nashville era-long issue for the team. Corey Davis had a breakout game in the OT win over Philadelphia and showed us what he might be capable of. I was impressed in that game with the attitude he, Tajae Sharpe and Taywan Taylor showed.

But Taylor lost a fumble that killed the Titans early against Buffalo and was the first of three giveaways that led to a 13-12 loss.

There have been too many drops in too many crucial situations by too many people through five games.

Through 5 weeks, the #Titans pass catchers have routinely let down quarterback Marcus Mariota with costly drops on third down, downfield, and in the end zone. Now presenting... a #TitansDropThread pic.twitter.com/voU0G0fL4V

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – The last question asked and answered, Mike Vrabel got the nod that he was good to step away from the podium and hit the shower.

“Sweet,” he said sarcastically, free to move on to pulling lessons out of a disastrous trip to play the Bills and advance to planning for the Ravens visit to Nashville in a week.

He knew there wasn’t anything sweet about the game he’d just coached, where his offense handed the ball away three times and lost, 13-12, on a last-second Stephen Hauschka field goal from 46 yards out.

The Titans weathered a great deal in the first month of Vrabel’s first season and emerged 3-1. But they fell back into the long-standing temptation to play to the level of the competition here at New Era Field.

The giveaways -- by Taywan Taylor, Marcus Mariota and Dion Lewis – were the primary culprit, setting up 10 points for the Bills.

A week after a very strong performance in an overtime thriller against the Eagles, Mariota was incredibly mediocre, hitting on 14 of 26

Onward to your questions:

James Hughes: Is Malcolm Butler worth the money? Is the defense as good as it looks?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Taylor Lewan’s playing personality and his game personality align.

He gets meaner, for sure, on Sunday afternoons. But an outgoing wiseacre on weekdays just seems turns that up some during an NFL game.

In the win against Philadelphia, I noticed three guys whose playing personalities seemed a lot different than their regular ones.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Titans will finally be favored to win for the first time this season.

The Bills lack the overall offensive talent to be a major threat.

The Titans must defend against a letdown after facing two of the most talented teams in the NFL in the Jaguars and the Eagles.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Through four games, Jurrell Casey has been a consistent disruptor on the Titans’ defensive line, fighting through and around blockers to 13 quarterback pressures, three sacks, two forced fumbles and 22 tackles.

It’s been a massive effort from a player who’s not as massive, at 6-foot-1, 305 pounds, as middlemen in a lot of Dean Pees defensive lines.

Casey is coming off his third consecutive Pro Bowl season, but in his first four games working with Mike Vrabel and Pees he’s been, perhaps, even more effective.
