Tennessee at Baltimore (-10) Game Thread-Divisional Round (1 Viewer)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Every first down is a 10% chance the titans win this game. Tick tock.

 

[Capella]

If the afc title game is Tennessee Houston do they move it to Thursday night? 

 

[Arodin]

You would have had a hard time convincing me before the game that Tannehill would have more successful short-yardage conversions than Jackson by game's end...

 

[The Frankman]

Baltimore forgot Tannehill is a mobile QB or something there

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

Henry is a grown-### man.

 

[Dez]

Of course none of this matters if you can't get a stop.

 

[GrantK]

Earl Thomas cheap shot...

No one here clearly understands strategy.  You go for two when down 16 100% of the time I can't believe I have to explain this.

You make the 2 pointer and your down 14 so you can tie with 2 more TD's and XP's.

If you miss you can still tie the game by getting 2 TD's and 2 two pointers.

If you kick the XP this time and next time you down 8 and now you have ONLY ONE CHANCE to tie the game.

How can no one here but me understand that 2 chances is better than one chance.

Make it now or make the next 2 as opposed to 1 shot of making it at end.

Its not all about math

Its about psychology and keeping momentum

 

[East Coast Bias]

Smart play.

I wish I knew how to quit you.

But how do you know that the 2-Pt after the 3rd TD isn't the right time and increases the chances of making it with all the momentum on your side at that point?

Is this one of those analytics things that Cleveland is taking the league by storm with?

 

[The Duff Man]

Another way to explain it. 

You are down three TDS and will need a 2 pointer on one of them. You don’t know if you will make it or not. 

Which TD do you want to try it on. The only correct answer is the first, because if you miss you still have a shot. 

If you wait for TD two or three and miss you are toast.

This didn't get enough love.

 

[travdogg]

Might not hurt to work Lewis in a bit. 60+ carries these last 2 games.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Get Henry his 200 and get him out.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I want a 200 yard game by Henry with a RuTD when all’s said & done. I’m greedy like that. 

 

[NREC34]

I absolutely hate this for Baltimore 

J/K

Actually, if you get it to 14 and then score again, you should go for two that time as well.

 

[-OZ-]

Just put the game away. Then he can rest

You two get a room.

(and can I sit in the corner and watch?)

 

[sports_fan]

Most rushing yards single postseason?

 

[fred_1_15301]

Yup going for 2 after both TDs is the right call

 

[Mister CIA]

HoF level post here.

 

[Encumbrance]

Wow. So what's Henry's ADP next season, non-PPR?

 

[Dez]

I would have saved that timeout for 4th down so they don't do the run the clock punt thing.

 

[Dez]

Baltimore does call a timeout so they can't do the run the clock on the punt thing.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Actually, if you get it to 14 and then score again, you should go for two that time as well.

They should have a “go for three” but you get the ball at the 15. 

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I don’t love the 3rd & 5 run by TEN. 

 

[Buffaloes]

Arrowhead has always been a tough place to play in January. Especially for a dome team. Should be a fun game. Tempted to take the over even tho it’s ridiculous. 

Camarohead is one of the toughest venues to play at come December or January

 

[ShamrockPride]

Tenn can do this all playoffs. This is the problem with how the modern NFL game is structured in a pass obsessed league. Nobody cares to build a monster d line anymore. Gone are the Ray Lewis and Urlacher type guys who can plug holes up front. They've been replaced by 235 lb coverage LBs and 240 lb edge rushers. You get a team with a physical monster at RB and a run oriented Oline, they have the advantage.

 

[zftcg]

All that said, I refuse to believe throwing the ball to Boykin was their best option there.

 

[Dez]

Baltimore must score a TD before 2 minute warning this way if they don't get the onside kick they have the 1 timeout and the 2 min warning left.

If the clock hits 2 mins before they score that's the game without getting onside kick and since that is like 5% they need to score with like 2:05 or more left.

 

[Encumbrance]

Yep. It's loud. And cold. And windy and snowy. All that. See if HOU can adjust. 

 

[Dez]

I don't hear no fat lady

 

[Hov34]

Refs don't want to throw flags anymore?

 

[irish eyes]

I don’t love the 3rd & 5 run by TEN. 

Nah, just run & kill the clock. Don't take any chances. 

 

[Wingnut]

Hey Earl Thomas, remember this?

I live when cocky SOBs get what's coming to them.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

4 and out coming up. Henry just getting a little breather before his next run here.

 

[-OZ-]

Would have preferred a score, but taking 4:39 off the clock plus the to, that's a win

 

[The Frankman]

All that said, I refuse to believe throwing the ball to Boykin was their best option there.

There have been a lot of questionable play calls... not lining up Lamar in pistol spread on both 4th downs and optioning outside was stunning. Line was getting blown up this game and they went up the middle 1st time, off tackle 2nd.

 

[The General]

I don't hear no fat lady

Baltimore is chock full of them.

Is that why Tennessee was 16-0 this year?

 

[zftcg]

Have I got a league for you.

 

[Bri]

That's the Titans MVP this year. No penalty? I'd bet a return cheap shot is coming

 

[NREC34]

Tennessee gonna earn respect maybe after this

 

[Dez]

If Ravens can score with about 4 minutes left I would kick it deep.  

 

[Mister CIA]

I don't hear no fat lady

Where are your ears?

 

[dickey moe]

Dan Fouts is horrible. 

He sounds like a 19th Century revenuer.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Nah, just run & kill the clock. Don't take any chances. 

Oh I know what “the book” says, but personally I prefer a dump off pass to get Henry in space. Still conservative but with a much better chance to get the 1st. 

 

[Dez]

That's if they make the 2 pointer as well
