Mike Vrabel - Coach of the Year

Yep. Both of our losses have a lot of key guys not playing. Not saying that excuses anything at all but we’ve seen Tennessee do this before. Derrick Henry vs the Saints a few years ago. Wouldn’t surprise me if they are just trying to get to the bye week and then get rolling once everyone is back.

Not saying they don’t want to win because I think they do but we have so many guys hurt. Gotta give them time when you can.

 

Unpreparedness = Lack of focus and execution.

 

And only the offense was unprepared? Lol

Not buying it.

 

I blame Tammy’s small girl hands…

 

No way. We lost because Vrabel didn’t tell Tannehill Desmond King wasn’t on the Titans anymore.

What kind of HC doesn’t even tell his QB that information before the game? Very clearly Mike Vrabel‘s fault.

 

As damaged as we are, are you positive he had anyone else to put back there? Do you put a freshly activated PS player back there who have never fielded punts simply because of one mistake.

And to a point.... that was the oddest thing I have ever seen on a punt. That ball hit his ankle and stuck in the ground right there like it was a 50 pound weight. No bounce, no movement, nothing just stopped right there.

 

Don’t know, it’s not my job to know who else can field a punt. Vrabel should’ve sent a message though, because that’s unacceptable. Period.

 

Not sure why we have to have revised history all the time discussing a game.
For starters the defense gave up a whopping 107 yards passing to Taylor. The running backs for the Texans had a 2.0 YPC average. Taylor did score two TDs where we let him out of the pocket but the defense was solid.

On the flip side Tannehill threw for over 300 yards. Unfortunately he had 4 ints. I guess in hindsight we should have had a few more dump offs but seems more like the QB needs to make better decisions with the ball. We also had pretty good success running the ball except for the bonehead dive into 11 guys on 4th down. Of all the times we should have play actioned and tossed a short pass there it was. Westbrook had over 100 yards receiving. It was more Tannehill throwing into single coverage when they were playing zone IMO.

And despite all that the game might have come down to that silly punt Rogers didn't get away from. That put us down 19-0 and pretty well forced the offense to be more open. The crazy, and stupid decision to run that play at the end of the half might have cost us 3 points. Oh, we had plenty of quick passes to the backs and TEs. I guess the 50 yard pass to Westbrook should have been a dump off instead?

Oh, two ints came when we were trying to drive late in the game.

 

The freak punt fumble was the game. If not for that play the Titans had momentum and probably drive down the field and score. Different outcome,
