Thank you for pointing this out. Hold my beer while I go hammer the under.

If the question is "has Josh improved since week one 2018?" then the answer is definitely yes. If the question is "has Josh improved since week one 2019?" then it gets a little murkier. Disclaimer: I would caution against putting too much emphasis in the regression lines as there's a lot of error built into them. I do think it's still useful to provide a best fit visual representation to give some idea of what direction he's moving in. I think the numbers tell us fairly plainly that Josh is probably going to give you anywhere between 150-250 yards every week (ignoring runs) with a passer rating between 70-110. His production has plateaued but he's becoming more efficient by eliminating mistakes. For this team that's good enough to win games because we have a good defense, but Josh is going to have to find a way to continue improving his production for us to get to the next level. 225 passing yards isn't going to get it done in the playoffs, and most years it isn't good enough to get you there in the first place.

Thought he had a great drive today in the second quarter which led to the TD. Three great throws in a row to finish it off. Other than that I thought he struggled. Titans have a pretty good defense though and it was a tough situation coming back so soon from the concussion.

You're crediting Josh, I suppose? I thought he had a predictably rough day against a tough Tenn defense. It really helped his stat line that the McKenzie run was considered a passing play. Daboll, Gore, and the Oline get an unreasonable amount of hate around here. I thought they were the difference today (along with our always good D and the Titans kicker).

Daboll and the run game FTW. Defense only gives up 252 total yards. And of course, a big time thank you to Carlo Santos (and Mike Vrabel for sticking with him). Couldn't have done it without you guys. 4-1 baby!!

This is getting overturned for a TD

Refs gifting us some make up calls

Dopey haven't you been reading? That one was entirely on Yeldon, and and the line, and the wind and rain, and...

Who me?

I watched it again on replay. There's no way Yeldon gets there even if he's in a dead sprint which he wasn't. Bad football all around but that one is mostly on Josh IMO.

So I re-watched it and Yeldon comes to a full stop before the ball is released then starts jogging across the field and doesn't get more than two or three steps before the ball is there. No way he catches that even if he sprints. That ball is getting picked either way. It was either a bad decision or horribly inaccurate or both.

Are you sure he was throwing to Yeldon? The ball was thrown at Beasley. I wonder if Yeldon stopped thinking Beasley was the target.

Back from where? I've been posting the whole game.

Even if he did stop it was still an ill advised throw and it led to seven points. Titans had multiple defenders in the area. It's also unclear whether he was throwing to Yeldon or Beasley.

Looked like Brown and one other WR on the right side weren't set and Josh just snapped the ball without checking.

Ok that was a tricky blitz. Great design by Tenn. Hard to pin that one on anyone. Ford had to cover a lot of ground to get the outside.

CBS halftime guys are all drooling over our defense. We stop the HOF traditional passers. We stop the mobile threats. Is this D better than prime Takeo Spikes, London Fletcher, Pat WIlliams, et. al? Might have to make a thread and poll it.

44 seconds and 3 timeouts and we run a WR screen and let the clock run. I think that says a lot about Daboll's comfort level with Josh right now.

LOL Lee Smith. He can walk and chew gum at the same time but if you ask him to also catch a football things get dicey.

Nice job there by Josh. He goes through the progressions and has the patience to eventually find Duke. Accurate throw.

Jordan Phillips is a monster. Edit: have to give credit to Shaq Lawson too. He beat the double team and blew up the play which forced Mariota right into Phillips.

Maybe. Have to credit that Titans' DB for a great play getting his arm in there.

Great catch by Beasley on the 100 mph floater at his feet. Such a good pick up for us.

I love this defense!!! Edit: I do not love our special teams ?

Murphy!!
