Post-Game Thread Game 6 Final Score: Titans 24-Steelers 27

Yep. Lots of things went wrong today. Tannehill looked horrible until that last drive. He could have easily had 3 INT’s today. Some of his throws weren’t even close.

 

Even though the drive ended up in an INT, the Steelers ate up 7 and a half min of the Fourth Quarter because the Titans defense cannot stop anybody on third down, particularly third and long.

Overall, the Steelers were 13/18. On the season the Titans are allowing teams to convert third downs at almost a 60% rate. This is not only poor play, but a huge indictment of the coaching staff. Bad third down defense has been a problem throughout Vrabel's tenure and adding Adoree isn't going to work some miracle cure.

Vrabel and Bowen have to learn to be more aggressive with their playcalling. This game was a perfect example. In the 2nd half when the Titans became more aggressive and sending 5 men, the Steelers weren't nearly as effective.

The players have played poorly on D, but the playcalling is the number 1 problem in my opinion.

The Steelers had the ball for nearly 38 minutes and effectively took Henry out of it.

 

I don’t know Gostkowski probably misses the kick either way

 

Yeah a 31 yard FG attempt more than likely gets blocked anyways.

 

I hate these ****ing games.. Would rather get beat 41-14 as opposed to losing 27-24 because our kicker can't make a 46 yard FG..

He would make it with ease if Tom Brady was his QB and we all wanted his ass to miss it.

 

To be clear, what would you have called on that play where Tammy got called for intentional grounding?

 

So hard to get over this loss. We fought until the end and I thought we had it after AJ’s catch. I know the first half sucked but really really was confident on that final drive. Depression mode for rest of today. These games mean so much , ughhhh

 

So because he couldnt predict the future, smith cost us the game?

Goddam it art, why didnt you know there would be an intentional grounding! Yoiu should have run!

 

Apprarent run by Henry.. I'm sure he wouldn't complain if that pass went to Firk for 17 yards..

 

The play call wasnt the issue. The issue was Kelly and Davis being beat off the line immediately.

The only issue i had with Tannenhil on that final drive was taking the deep shot on third down. Titans had plenty of time and timeouts. If there was something underneath for a few more yards, he should have taken it. A few yards closer and that game goes to OT
