Lock missed a wide open TE on the goal line on the first half.
Then he over threw a wide open WR for a TD late in the 4th.
The Titans missed three FGs and an extra point and still won. Thats how bad Denver is coached.Last edited by BigDofBA; 09-15-20, 12:36 AM.Comment -
Are sports legit rigged? Shocked.....Comment -
could have at least made that extra point. thanks for the loss kicker.Comment -
And the titans coach used a timeout himself to run a play to cover the spread and tankyhill overthrew the guy!Comment -
I get what you're saying but I was actually glad they took a shot at the end zone, being that was Tenn's best shot to cover the spread. The play was there for the taking, Tannehill just sailed it a tad. I think had they ran the ball and picked up the first down, the Titans would have been content to run the clock down and kick the field goal. Maybe they run the ball once more against a stacked line but it's likely going to end up a FG attempt unless Henry gets in. The fact that the Broncos inexplicably ate their timeouts kinda fukked the sequence in terms of getting a Tenn cover.Comment -
I'm a Gawja guy. Let's don't talk about Super bowls. If ATL runs the ball 3 times after Julio's great catch, then Matt Bryant gets to walk off his great career with a bunny field goal and we win the super bowl... AND Julio's catch goes down as one of the best in history. Instead we lose the whole damn game and you won't ever hardly see his beautiful catch.

vangio walks away with 2 timeouts
thats at least 60 seconds
if he played it right they would have gotten the ball back with 1:17 and 1 timeoutComment -
Vic Fangio is in over his head. The reason it took him more than 30 years in the NFL to make head coach is because he doesn't have it. This guy needs to go back down to a position coach.Comment -
I really think Fangio played it right. I know it sounds crazy. Look. If he takes his timeouts Tennessee scores a TD probably. By him not taking them, he was forcing the Ghost to make the kick. Even though it was closer.....he obviously has been rattled. Don't forget that they BLOCKED a kick earlier in the game too. He did it right. Maybe if he had 15 extra seconds for McManus to attempt a long field goal.
He really probably thought the best chance was Ghost missing. Otherwise, they need a TD to win with NO TIME (Under a minute left).
Fangio really played it the only way he could with what he had on the table IMOComment -
Him not taking timeouts was his read on how titans couldn't score. You still take em to give your offense more time
Not sure what he was thinkingComment -
Hey man GREAT "other side" comment! But I have to say no to that. Because this is pro football,
if he calls his timeouts, then the other guy runs it right up the middle. And even if he tries a TD play
your pro defense gets a chance to intercept it! NO WAY is the ball going in the air if he uses his TO's!
Not in the pros!Comment -
Jeudy dropped the 1st down pass which would've likely sealed the game, you can't blame that on Fangio. Titans defense was expecting 3 straight vanilla running plays on that sequence and their DB's weren't anywhere near the LOS on 1st down. i liked the aggressive yet relatively safe playcalling there, he just simply dropped the ball.
Fangio's main mistake was on the 4th down playcall in the 1H and arguably not using timeouts at the end of the game. keep in mind though that if Fangio did call TO's at the end of the game, the Titans might've scored a TD instead.Comment -
no he didnt. you make TEnn lose possession as fast as possible. whether its a FG or a TD you need 1;30 left for lock, and most likely if he calls timeouts the D rests and TENN does not take any chances to the endzone, too risky
then you are getting the ball back with a decent amount of time left and 1 timeoutComment -
My point is is if he does take them then he is giving Titans more likely chance to punch it in the end zone. It affected Vrabel's play calling because now he has to think FG with time ticking away. So, he would've been left with no timeouts and if Titans got another first down........then they can run the clock out anyway as well. At least, this way I think he was hoping for a longer kick from Ghost to attempt. Then, they gave up more yards.
Like I said, he was in a tough spot and situation. You really aren't looking at the game in detail about this. If Titans have more time to punch it in then he's left having to score a TD with no TO's. He put it on GHOST to make the kick. Can't fault him in this situation.
I understand why he did what he did.Comment -
If the Titans score a touchdown, so be it... But I'd rather take my chances with a minute and change to score a touchdown in response, than 17 seconds to score a field goal. And in the event the Titans don't score a touchdown but settle for FG, getting the ball back with over a minute and only needing three for the win is gravy, compared to what actually happened.
I mean the Titans were so deep in DEN territory you have to assume Gostkowski hits a gimme.Comment -
if he thinks hes going to miss the kick you still make him attempt it at 1;30 instead of :17
he was a deer in the headlights and had no clue what to doComment -
Timeouts don't help either side rest any more than the other. They both are 100% effort and running around. Don't see how that helps them more than Tenn. To's CAN stop momentum sometimes and help with play calling. But even then, they can second guess and be wrong. Like I said, watch it all over again and see what I mean. He was in a pickle. Without a doubt. So, he forced Ghost to kick.
You are assuming they will stop the Titans by him taking a timeout(s). What makes you think they stop them? Titans were still passing down there and almost scored on one.Comment -
Denver coach is now on interview trying to explain his non timeout fiasco!!Comment
