[ShamrockPride]

Here we go. Triple cover DGB. Make him pull a Megatron.

 

[Bri]

Have Fowler run backwards here

 

[belljr]

Tennessee has no desire to hurry up.

Tip ball to Walker is probably most realistic after last 2 games

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Mayonnaise eating, playbook stealing, ####ers.

 

[Bri]

Can't even get an exciting final play

 

[mr roboto]

Jeez nice protection.

 

[renesauz]

Well that's that

 

[flapgreen]

Titans smh

 

[Insein]

Wish I could be happy for those DGB catches but I'm going against Walker. Sigh

 

[flapgreen]

Tennessee has no desire to hurry up.

OL strolling along

 

[Bri]

Andrews held off Cobb just fine against top rush D(avg per carry)

 

[Bri]

Jeez nice protection.

Announcers pointed out 4-5 times how he revamped OL, not how he replaced RT who muffed up that play

 

[Bri]

All this TE work from the TE coach taking over and Coffman hasn't been back since, tonight we got Supernaw. He can't even evaluate his TEs properly

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Bortles is legit awful.

70% completion %, 8 YPA.And Bortles the awful one...

Please.

 

[Bri]

Its commonplace for him.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

As always, GG Bri.

 

[Bri]

Unbelievable, final play was to go to Rico!

 

[Donnybrook]

I don't watch many Titans games but I was impressed with Supernaw in preseason. Obviously he screwed up by trying to hard to get a first down on that play. He still might develop into a good player.

 

[Loipz]

Let's give it to Denard Robinson. Lol what a joke.

Coffman is already good though. He should be on PS, Coffman should play. Instead they do a cut and sign dance with him

 

[Bri]

well Fasano, Stevens, and Walker should be enough really

 

[Bri]

presser-Blaming punter again and again

keeps saying move team over the hump

Dexter knee "and Searcy" idk what he means, knee also?

rest bumps and bruises

 

[Bri]

"Andrews did well, neither back had a chance(in first). Antonio wanted it and did real well"

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Deion: I never thought I'd be on the set as the most calmly dressed man.

 

[Bri]

"We're not out of it" (playoffs)

presser is done, what a joke

 

[Bri]

Titans did move the ball enough for a FG but not a TD. Any change in thoughts on Gus' late FG decision?

Bad call

 

[Bri]

Mariota started his presser saying "good afternoon" Ummm...

Most angry/upset I've ever seen this stoic guy

He says all the right things to every Q though

 

[Bri]

again, link here

[Bri]

He wouldn't bite on any Qs to insult the WRs or Supernaw

such a "good boy"

Good teams have confidence they can make a foot and kneel the clock out. Gus played to not lose and was rewarded.

 

[AnonymousBob]

McCluster wasn't returning kicks tonight? Anyone know if this is permanent? Did he come back in the game after getting dinged?

 

[Donnybrook]

McCluster wasn't returning kicks tonight? Anyone know if this is permanent? Did he come back in the game after getting dinged?

Question 1 and 2: ?

Question 3 : No. After the injury, he left on a cart with his knee wrapped up with a ice pack.

Ugh. Thanks though.

First of all, a decision is either the high-percentage play or it's not. A single result doesn't change the wisdom of the decision.

Second, IF the Jags had failed to gain the six inches, and then Tenn had driven all the way down the field like they did, and then if they made the FG, Jags would still have a greater than 50% win probability (since home teams are generally favored in OT). And I can't recall the field position, but I think Tenn ended up slightly better after the KO return than if they had taken over on downs.

So basically, rather than running a play that had a >50% chance of success and would have all but iced the game, and a downside that still put their odds at greater than 50%, Bradley handed the ball to the other team and gave them a chance to win.

So no, I would say there is no change in thoughts.

 

[Nero]

This is one area where head coaches just play it incorrectly. Going for it on 4th and inches was absolutely the win% play.

I would kick the FG 100% of the time given the circumstances. They had already been stopped on (3rd and 1) and (3rd and goal from the 2). The offense struggled all night. The defense and special teams were the reason Jacksonville was leading. They were facing a rookie QB that already had been held to 13 points. Not much reason to fear he could drive them for a TD. I think Tennessee's best chance was to make a stop on 4th inches, and drive to send the game into OT. I would not have given them that chance. Take the 6 point lead and play defense.

Any Tennessee fans still on this thread? What were you hoping Bradley would do in that situation? If it were my team, I'd be thrilled to get the ball back with a chance to win.

Defenses play exactly the same whether they have to give up 40 yards or 70 yards. FG kickers always make field goals. Jax was guaranteed to get stopped on 4th and 6 inches.

None of these statements are true, but you have to believe them to think that Jax made the right play.

 

[parasaurolophus]

To me this decision is pretty simple. Even if I put the chance for my team to get 4th and less than a foot at a 50/50 proposition(i think it is much higher) I am going for it.

In order to lose the game if I go for it on 4th and 6in it would mean my team would have to not get the first down, give up enough yards for Tenn to get into FG range, Tennessee would have to make the FG(or get a TD), and then lose in OT.

First of all, a decision is either the high-percentage play or it's not. A single result doesn't change the wisdom of the decision.

A single result absolutely does affect a single decision. It was one game

I don't understand your point. If you make a sub-optimal decision and it works out, that doesn't mean you made the right call.

We're talking about probabilities, which means there is always a chance that any decision you make could either work or not work. And given that all of these scenarios put Jax's win percentage above 50%, whatever decision Bradley made was likely to result in a Jacksonville victory.

But if we're evaluating him as a coach, the fact that he makes sub-optimal decisions should obviously count against him.

Just stop.

If a coach went for it on 4th and 20 from his own 2 in the first quarter and they picked it up would you say that he made the high % play? Clearly, you think so.

Odds Bri still goes around bragging about that time he hit on 20 because he just KNEW the next card would be an ace?
