The Tennessee Titans have been very good over the last three seasons, but is their run coming to an end? Here are three reasons they’ll disappoint.

The Tennessee Titans have been on the cusp of greatness for the past handful of seasons.

Believe it or not, the Titans have at least nine wins in each of the last six seasons. There are very few teams that have had winning records for six straight years, and the Tennessee Titans are one of them.

Over the last two years, though, the Titans have taken another step forward. For four straight seasons, they were 9-7 — good, but not great.

In 2020, they improved to 11-5. In 2021, the Titans won 12 games and not only did they finish in first place in the AFC South, but they also finished as the top-seeded team in the AFC.

How have they done this? With a dominating run game, a very good defense, and dominating the time of possession battle.

But their luck could run out in 2022. As a matter of fact, I’m here to tell you exactly why the Titans will be disappointing their fans in 2022 despite winning 23 regular season games over the last two years and even reaching the AFC Championship during the 2019 season.

Reason no. 3 the Tennessee Titans will disappoint in 2022: Ryan Tannehill

I’m sorry to say this, and I know this might hurt for some, but I’m not buying Ryan Tannehill.

Tannehill had an amazing comeback with the Titans in the 2019 season, coming off the bench in a shutout loss against Denver, leading this Titans team on a remarkable run all the way to the AFC Championship game.

Although it hasn’t been perfect, the combination of Tannehill and Derrick Henry in the backfield for the Titans has worked well.

I just can’t buy in to a team that has Tannehill under center. Regular season? Maybe. But Tannehill doesn’t move the needle in the playoffs.

Maybe it’s the Joe Flacco-like stance he’s taken on mentorship towards Malik Willis, or maybe it’s just his track record of not playing well in the playoffs in the last two seasons (2 TDs, 4 INTs in last two playoff appearances).

Whatever “it” is, “it” is causing me to believe that Tannehill will be a reason for the disappointment of Titans fans in 2022.
