Football is life!
Nobody sent threats to Downing. It's just a defense strategy to lessen whatever blow may come his way.
Calls the best game of the season and all of a sudden someone is threatening him? Lol riiiiight.
Or what kind of loser football coach would lie about death threats as an excuse to drive recklessly and drunk?
Agree with it being a response, but you honestly don't think he is getting threats?
No I don’t
I think it’s very possible he’s received threats but it doesn’t justify anything.
The Titans and the NFL will likely wait until everything plays out before doing anything. I don’t see him losing his job over this but he may be suspended 1-3 games.
What I fear is he got drunk on the plane and the NFL punishes the Titans by taking away a draft pick.

Downing has money, easy to sweep a DUI under the rug... And you can't convince me there aren't a number of NFL players/coaches consuming alcohol on plane trips.
Also from what I've read it says the NFL forbids teams providing alcohol or drinking on the plane...doesn't say they can't get hammered at the airport?

nobody... complete bovine scatology from Downings Syndrome
Do y'all really think football fans wouldn't make threats towards Downing? Now is that the reason he was drunk and speeding? No. Stupid excuse... But probably has/is happening to him.
Hell I wouldn't put it past a few on this very forum sending death threats to Downing... And there's even wilder "fans" out there.

Don't they go from bus straight to the airplane without even touching the terminals.
Probably. But who says Downing can't run in and down a few shots before or after the plane ride?
There's no excuse for the DUI but there's a chance he consumed the alcohol before/after the plane ride.
There's also a chance there is/has been alcohol on every NFL teams plane ride and this is just coming to light after the high profile DUI stuff in the NFL (Reeds son etc). Doesn't excuse Downings actions but something the NFL hasnt enforced until it was in the public eye.
According to one news report I read, he consented and failed the test. Don't remember for sure but I think it was The Tennessean.
The guy is a terrible offensive coordinator. We’ve been ranked near the bottom of the league in offense since he took over. Now he could very easily cost the team a draft pick with his ignorant choice off the field. Why keep this guy employed? Enough is enough. It makes zero sense why Todd Downing should continue to be a part of this team. There are plenty of negatives but zero positives when it comes to him.
His opening game scripts have been a thing of beauty.
Death threats are whack and definitely happen in sports, but to use that as an excuse for speeding + a DUI is even more whack.
Nah, I'm one of Downings biggest critics on here but I'd like to think everyone on here is as grounded to earth as me and realise that sending death threats via social media is cowardly and idiotic especially over a game of sport. Do I believe he's had threats yea, is it the cause for him driving under the influence? no, I don't believe it. Every player on this team has probably had some kind of threat against them from some whack job. But these whack jobs rather send threats behind a screen and believe what they post and think they have merit rather than debate on a forum and risk being the unpopular opinion.
My statement was pointed more at people who were clearly saying the threats didn't happen.
I'm 100% sure some nuts have been threading Downing since he's been OC. There are people who take sports and entertainment WAY too seriously. Are they on this forum? Maybe not but some here would make me wonder. Lol.
Just throwing this out there, but maybe there actually was a particular threat that Downing just got wind of that made him think "oh shit, maybe I should go home to my family just in case". Probably not, but it's at least plausible. Most likely, thats just the first excuse he thought of and thought the cops would feel sorry for him.
