Was the call to go for two the right call?

    People keep saying crap like this and I really ask, what more can Marcus do when his receivers continually drop passes that hit them in their fricken hands?

    It’s fine and dandy to roll off stats, but watch the games and they tell a different story.

    Do I think Mariota is godsend and can’t do any better? No.

    Do I hold him to just a stat of scoring TD’s? No again, because we have seen him throw, catch, and score his own TD..... I don’t expect him to do that all the tine.

    I BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS

    championship teams get their rt’s in the 3-4 round not trading up in the freaking top ten for him. That was when I dubbed him JROBD

    KC top offensive weapons; hunt, kelce, hill. We have Jonnu, Henry, Corey. Yup, no comparison at all. They're in an established offense and playbook from a future HOF coach that has been the headcoach for years. While they're fun to watch in the regular season, let's see how they crumble in the playoffs.

    Wow, didn’t notice the LG live, brutal. That said it’s such an easy defense called, rush two interior, drop 7 and the DEs are playing outside contain. Our play call has such a low probability of working. Even a single set RB I would imagine would commit them to rushing 5-6 and that play might work

    Loved the call! Everyone saying we should of tied it would of been loving Vrabel had it worked out. What I didn't like was the play call. However, again, if it works its a different story. I also didn't like the call on the TD, but hey, a score is a score and it worked out. I think after the roll out pass and the PI, we should of just ran it with Henry out of the Full Back position. Or at least an RPO. Empty back field with no motion before the snap was a terrible call.

    We've not talked about the TD pass to Stocker which, I thought, was a strange call at the time. But take a look at the OL on that play.

    No way would an inside run has a chance on that play.

    So, I can see where LaFleur would think getting a yard inside might be tough—even a sneak.

    But to not put a RB in the formation killed his play from the start, IMO. If the Chargers play it as we see here, it looks like Marcus could have faked the hand-off and bootlegged right for the option to run it in or pass.

    Couple of misc notes. First I have heard the Titans brought up on a few national sports shows today. National exposure yay! Bad part is nearly everyone I have heard thinks this was a poor call to go for it. A couple said they may have liked it if it was a different call or formation. But still a bad decision overall. A couple of guys said they liked it because they don't care about either team.

    Also, T Hill dropped an easy td in the KC game. I actually saw a few bad drops and drops to ints yesterday. But when you're whoopin on someone these things are easily forgotten. The Titans play so close that everything is magnified x 100.

    Well, Mariota had a pick 6 dropped in the first drive of the game. He tried to get a slant between like 3 guys on the weak side, for whatever reason.
