I might be Mis-remembering. I was drinking... Was it ginn that got leveled by the shoulder? 

I get them confused all the time watching the game. The numbers 17 and 19 look a lot alike especially through beer goggles.

That was the worst game by Shula all year.  I hope he gets that out of his system.

We needed to use more screen passes to slow down that rush.  I'm not sure why we didn't.   Should have had Fozzy out there for that.

Funchess needs to keep getting the rock when he's delivering.  That is suspect as well.  I got it early on when he was dropping everything, but he's earned more time and has more upside than any WR we have.

The smoke/screen to Cotchery is stupid and Shula pulls that out every few games.  It NEVER gets us anywhere.  Maybe he thinks he's surprising the other team by throwing it to the slowest guy out there, but it never works.   Maybe do that to Philly or something, but Jericho?  I actually hate the play, and minus Steve Smith, it usually isn't worth the risk.

Its fine to break out the 9-0 feel good platitude...

 

 

But Cam was harassed more yesterday and sacked more than I care to see. An injury to Cam and this team is not a Superbowl contender. 

I wondered what happened to our normally efficient OL, but OTOH the Titans D is 5th in the league in yards allowed and sacks. Stat wise, they had the best D of our remaining opponents.

I wish they would screen Stewart more. Using Fozzy exclusively is too predictable from a personnel standpoint. The only way to keep it working is to run him on standard run plays where he isn't as effective..

Yeah I can see that as well.  Somehow, we just needed some freakin' screens to SOMEONE.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I listened to the entire game on the radio and they kept mentioning that Kalil was being held by the linemen which allowed a blizter to come through untouched. I think that's how they got three sacks in a row.

Yeah there was that too. The refs seemed to have their eyes elsewhere.

Cotchery is a very balanced WR with good hands. He can do anything we ask of him.

No, he can't really do a pass play like that, and it's unfair to ask it of him.  It's like when we were trying to use Avant last year as something he wasn't.

We ran a similar play to Cotchery either last week or the week prior with an 11 yard gain.  It works, Tennessee just played it well.

We can at least say we made in-game adjustments that we struggled with so much in the past. The Titans made halftime adjustments, and I had scary visions of that Arizona game from 2013, those heavy blitzes up the middle. It took a couple of series but we were finally able to counter it.

I've also realized, we do some things one week, to set something up down the road later in the season. I think most of what we do is thought out and thought it may not make sense now, how we use it to confuse another team later on, it plays out well.

[punkpanther]

Yeah that last possession before the half was lame . Take a deep shot to Ted and see what happens. Might have at least ended up with a field goal attempt.

Yes , so much of our offense is based on deception.  It's like that end around to the WR that we either run every week.  We have ran the same play with 3 different variations.  Don't always work but the more you give people to look at on film the slower they react.
