Post-Game Thread Titans 24, Bengals 20

Bengals were held to 10 first downs by pass, 4 1st downs by rush, 53 yards rushing, 2:2 TD:TO, Titans led 2:1 in TOP ... stop me when I get to the part where the D poor. lol We had 1 bust in coverage in the 1st quarter and 1 explosive play in the 4th ... D was outstanding.

Walker: caught 6 of 9 targets, Matthews: 5 of 7, Taylor: 2 of 3, Murray: 4 of 4, Decker: 2 of 3. The only WR that really stood out as poor was Corey Davis: 4 of 10, but he's a rookie playing in what? His 4th game? He's already making big, athletic catches ... the consistency will come with reps.

 

I've had 4 concussions. Vomiting shortly after is 100% a symptom. That said, Mariota didn't appear to have a concussion. He wouldn't have been allowed to stay in. Looks like he had the wind knocked out of him.

 

According to the Mayo Clinic and many other online resources, vomiting is in fact a symptom of a concussion.

But, Mariota didn't really hit his head...he landed on his shoulder and it knocked the wind out of him.

 

Did I miss something? Did Mariota vomit?

 

I knew live that it was a touchback, but was hoping it stood my some miracle ... but knew it wouldn't. hahaha

He got wrapped up and the crown of the Bengal's helmet hit right on the side of the ball as he was reaching out. So, there was no possible way he was going to hang on with one hand. It was really a lucky play by the defender, because he wasn't targeting the ball or anything, just defending the goalline ... but the ball happened to up his helmet.

 

Wearing my Titans shirt when I work out at the YMCA up here will be nice!

 

We need SPEED at the RB position right now as Murray and Henry are simply too slow for an OLine that has ****** run blocking. With that out of the way, Murray is the MVP based on that last play, showing the awareness needed in a pro to understand where he is and the situation he is in. Defense played a great game today, but damn we came out firing on all cylinders on offense at first, and then at Half Time we looked like we were zombies, slow and asleep. I enjoyed the game very much, but just in Titans fashion, they had me chewing my fingernails to the end.

Side Bar: Just run for the damn endzone and keep two hands on the ball. Davis could of cost us that game with that silly attempt at stretching the ball out.

 

Allegedly, but all I saw was him spitting on the sideline?

 

Nope.
