So much for the Tennessee Titans vowing not to take the Buff

That was safety Kevin Byard's lament when reminded how the Titans followed up last week's thrilling 26-23 overtime win over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles with a 13-12 loss to the Bills on Sunday."It shouldn't have been a lesson because we talked about it all week Youth Charles Clay Jersey , about not coming here and laying an egg," Byard said. "But we did, and we lost, and we've got to get better."Rather than enjoy their best start in 10 years, the Titans fell to 3-2 and blew a chance to take over sole possession of first place in the AFC South standings after Jacksonville (3-2) lost at Kansas City."Respect has to be earned, not given, and we didn't earn our respect today," Byard said. "We didn't do too much of anything good today on all levels."Despite limiting the Bills to 223 yards of offense, the Titans gave up a final 11-play, 47-yard drive capped by Stephen Hauschka's 46-yard field goal as time expired.It wasn't all on the defense.The Marcus Mariota-led offense gained just 221 yards, had 15 first downs and settled for four field goals by Ryan Succop. Worse still, running back Dion Lewis and receiver Taywan Taylor lost a fumble, while Mariota threw an interception.For a Titans team that showed resolve in winning each of its last three games by 3 points Youth Kelvin Benjamin Jersey , Tennessee showed it can also lose a close one."You can't have it one way when you win and another way when you lose," first-year coach Mike Vrabel said. "The playing wasn't good enough today. The blocking wasn't good enough. Everything about the Titans wasn't good enough, and that's on me."Mariota's inconsistencies were apparent a week after he rallied the Titans from a 14-point third-quarter deficit by hitting Corey Davis for a 10-yard touchdown pass with five seconds left in overtime.Against Buffalo, he finished 14 of 26 for 129 yards and was sacked twice.The first sack, by Trent Murphy, came on third-and-9 at the Bills 31, forcing the Titans to settle for Succop hitting a 54-yard field goal on the final play of the first half.The second sack, by Jerry Hughes, came on third-and-8 at the Buffalo 29. Mariota fumbled, but was fortunate the ball bounced off his toe and went out of bounds. That led to Succop hitting a 50-yard field goal to put the Titans up 12-10 with 4:43 remaining.The Titans' best chance of finding the end zone slipped through their fingers early in the fourth quarter.Facing third-and-4 at Buffalo's 23, Mariota avoided the pass rush and scrambled to his left, where he lobbed to receiver Nick Williams, who was wide open in the end zone. Williams had the pass drop through his hands while attempting to make an over-the-shoulder catch. Again Youth Ryan Groy Jersey , Tennessee settled for a field goal by Succop."You have to focus on the next play and drop whatever happened," Mariota said of Williams' drop.The game was the second this season in which Succop has accounted for all of Tennessee's points. He hit three field goals in a 9-6 win at Jacksonville two weeks ago.Titans starting left tackle Taylor Lewan did not return after hurting his right foot in the second quarter.Lewan said he aggravated an injury from last season, and noted his foot was swollen last weekend. He said initial tests showed his foot wasn't broken, but added he'll have further tests on Monday."It shouldn't be a long-term thing," Lewan said. "I just didn't have any power and couldn't push off."Buffalo Rumblings 2018 staff Buffalo Bills predictions The staff from Buffalo Rumblings took the time to weigh in with their predictions on the win-loss record for the Buffalo Bills this season. There are plenty of thoughts on the new quarterbacks, offensive coordinator and additions to the defense.Dan Lavoie, Bills season prediction: 7-9Last year I was very pessimistic about the Bills team. Instead, the veterans provided stability, the strong defense kept games close for the disappointing offense to keep up, and Sean McDermott demonstrated that team cohesion can be used to bring an underappreciated roster to a winning season. With Nathan Peterman and rookie Josh Allen likely to split starts this year, I’m tempted to predict another disappointing season for the Bills, but optimism from McDermott’s first season has me giving the Bills a bump to near .500 status.Sean Murphy, Bills season prediction: 6-10I wish I could be more optimistic Youth Tre'Davious White Jersey , but with a brutal September schedule, a below-average offensive line, and a quarterback situation that is at least one year away from being league-average, I can’t be. I also thought Buffalo would be 5-11 last year, and I’ve never been happier to have been wrong about something. I hope to be wrong again this year!Matt Warren, Bills season prediction: 6-10I don’t see how the offense doesn’t take a huge step back in 2018 and I expect the defense to regress to the mean in the turnover department. Plus they got really lucky last year.Danyel Geist, Bills season prediction: 6-10Unfortunately I have too man worries about the offensive line and pass rush. I also don’t think the Bills are in the business of pulling off close wins this year because of those issues.Jeff Kantrowski, Bills season prediction: 8-8Of course I would love to say 19-0! The defensive efforts will keep many games close - but the new look offense isn’t always pretty. Staying around .500 seems to be a safe bet.John Boccacino, Bills season prediction: 9-7As important as the play of quarterback Nathan Peterman (and eventually rookie Josh Allen) will be towards the success of the Bills in 2018, the offensive and defensive lines hold the real keys. If the o-line situation stabilizes, LeSean McCoy (and hopefully preseason surprise Marcus Murphy) will generate enough offense to overcome any inconsistent QB play. The pass rush should be better with the additions of Trent Murphy, Star Lotulelei, and Harrison Phillips. Tre’Davious White Youth Star Lotulelei Jersey , Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer and the Bill Collectors will continue last year’s trend of forcing turnovers, as the defense keeps this team in the playoff hunt.Dylan Zadonwicz, Bills season prediction: 5-11This Bills are on the hot seat for taking a step back this season. Losing two starting offensive linemen will hurt any team’s offense, especially if you don’t replace them. The defense got better up front but weaker in the secondary and they will have to do more than they did last year to keep the Bills in games. I also think there is a chance that Allen sits the entire year if the offensive line’s poor play continues throughout the season. McDermott and Beane are smart enough to not put Allen in situations he can’t win.Anthony Marino, Bills season prediction: 9-7While it may be easy for some to be pessimistic about the upcoming season, I remain optimistic about the Bills. The defense should be improved following the offseason additions, and Brian Daboll will create enough mismatches on offense for the young quarterbacks to exploit. The Bills make the playoffs again in 2018.What are your thoughts on the 2018 season? Be sure to share your predictions for the upcoming season in the comments section below.
