5. Head Coach Mike Munchak

Three years ago, when Munchak came on board with the Titans, he went out and hand-picked his own staff with the intention of molding this Titans into winners again, and he had plenty of time to do it. Now, three years later, Tennessee is 4-11 in their division, and 3-16 against decent teams who have winning records. Every single year, without fail, they have lost to a winless team, late in the season. Lame...

4. Quarterback Issues

What's a good NFL team without an amazing quarterback? Jake Locker was supposed to be one of his team's saving graces this year. Eight games into the season, he had only helped his team to four victories. Then he sustained a foot injury in a loss to the Jaguars, who had previously not had a win. His replacement, Ryan Fitzpatrick, has not had a chance to do much better, though he did manage to lead his team in a win against the Oakland Raiders Sunday. A bad time to be switching up quarterbacks.

3. Return Game

The Titans' return game this season has been excruciating to watch this season. Darius Reynaud was let go after consistently poor decisions and repeated mistakes for seven games. Damian Williams, who replaced him, didn't really have much of a chance to show what he could do before he was also injured in the game against the Jaguars. Now, the Titans are counting on Devon Wylie, whose nickname is "Wiggles". He seems proud of that nickname, too. When you're an NFL team, and your return game is banking on a guy who people in some circles refer to as Wiggles, maybe you need to start rethinking some things.

Let's not beat around the bush. The Titans have had some major problems with their offensive line, who has not shown any ability to run block or pass this season. They'll have to get better if the Titans are serious about being taken seriously, but is there even a hope of salvaging what's left of the current season? They may not even have the talent on this team to perform any better than they are performing right now.

1. Late Season Burnout

Titans Fan
Jim Brown - USA TODAY Sports

Let's all be honest -- they're burnt out. Fans are frustrated at another disappointing season, and barring some sort of divine intervening miracle, it's quite late to make a comeback now. Things are only going to continue crumbling more and more with each progressive loss. Better luck next year, guys.
