OT: MNF, Titans vs Bills

[AZ Native]

My wife just said that Derrick Henry’s ponytail looks like a flaccid penis, and now I can’t unsee that.

How would she know?

I hope they keep doing it

Me too. It wasn’t a terrible call.

Bills fans needed to be humbled (as I see in reddit and a general football forum). They have been absolutely insufferable since we beat them last year and went on a big run.

That will essentially make Cards #1 in all power rankings. I predict Ravens will be #2 in most.

some curious coaching decisions

Mike Vrabel at the end of H1 and trailing in the game by 3: 40 secs, three time outs. One hand off, and then no attempt at a FG and instead ends the half.

then end of game: Bills get a first down at the 12 with 1min 20 secs left. Vrabel lets the clock run. At that point, you either stop them for a FG in three plays, or, they score a TD. I would want some time left to try to win the game.

I think ever since Harbaugh was caught on tape mouthing asking Lamar Jackson in week 2 If he wants to go for it on 4th and he said yes and they made it. That has skewed other coaches. Ravens/Harbaugh were so praised following that about a coach that believes in his men etc and the trust factor etc....

It was talked about all week after like some earth shattering decision and some poignant moment. Now every coach is trying to get that “respect”

All the power rankings that had Buffalo ranked above the Cards are going to have to make a slight change now.

Yep they’ll replace Buffalo with Dallas.

Yeah that was awful situational football.

The Titans let a ton of time run off the clock. Unless the Bills score quick, you might have like 18 seconds left.

Its better to burn the TOs when you are on defense.

I don’t like them going for the 4th there. I think josh is quite likely to convert the 4th but then you *still* have to score with no timeouts and a tackle in bounds or a sack might be game over.

 

[Russ Smith]

THe funny thing was I was thinking the Titans should just let them score when it was over a minutes so they had time to get a go ahead score. I had no faith at all in their defense but they held up when necessary.

Such an obvious QB sneak though.

All the talk of should they have gone for it or shouldn't one thing I haven't seen mentioned is the AFC East.

Bills are going to walk the division. Going for it makes sense on its own but when you take into account they are going easily make the playoffs it's not such a big deal.

i dont mind the 4th down call. I think the Bills defense was gassed, and winning was dependent on the coin flip

that being said (and this applies to the Cardinals as well) -- when its a must have down and you have a mobile QB--

i like plays that give your best player options. The play that they called had only one option

this for me it was 100% the wrong playcall, the Titans were better at run blocking than pass since all CB were hurt, gosh even on that play you see the WR had a 3 yard cushion and, the CB didn't even go to them to entangle them ... gosh easy fast out throw and first down and TO and you have 4 tries to get it in.

have to say that with the exception of Henry’s TD run I wasn’t overly impressed with the BILLS.
