The shotgun on 3and inches was the worst How many times have they by passed a QB sneak and it blow up on them?

after being cancer free now for over a month and half this win would mean a lot i missed plenty of games because i was so worn out tired couldn’t even stay awake but i’m be awake saturday night. Let’s go!!!

@lilkhmerkid4u during the game.....

Cool story, didn't read it.

Vrabel just said no one ruled out for Saturday.

Thanks for all the support everyone! And @Jamalisms I will never change my vocal inflection you can't stop me. Also to expand on the Firkser/TE discussion, these are the personnel groupings Tennessee uses when fully healthy: 11/21 - Swaim playing "traditional" TE 12/22 - Swaim & Pruitt on the LOS "10" - 3rd Down RB + Firkser in the slot 13 - Swaim, Pruitt, & Firkser on the LOS The ONLY time Firkser will ever play "tight end" where his hand is in the dirt or he's attached to the tackle is as the 3rd TE in 13 personnel, and he's always the furthest TE outside or on the backside of 2X1. When Pruitt went down, the Titans didn't use Firkser as TE2, they used Aaron Brewer. I know most people on here understand Firkser can't block, but I'm really trying to hammer home this point to casual fans who just see a stocky white dude and assume he's a blocker lol.

Just heard PK and the Outkick guys discussing this. I don't think we're talking about Vrabel's clock management enough here. Even after listening to him and Tannehill trying to explain the thought process, none of this makes sense to me. Help me to understand this... - Titans take over at their own 16 with 2:43 to go - First play is a run w/ Henry for 3 yards. Ok, fine. Run the clock down to the 2:00 and you still have 2 timeouts. - Next play is a 16 yard strike to Julio. Alright, now here we go. Cincy takes their 1st timeout at 1:46 to try and preserve time. - Titans then run Henry for no gain and proceed to let the clock run all the way down to 1:08 before they snap it (mind you...they aren't even across their own 35 yet. - Next snap is a pass to Hilliard for 5 yards and here is where I have no idea what Vrabel was thinking. Rather than getting in the hurry-up or even taking a quick timeout to talk about the play, they let the clock go ALL THE WAY down to about 26 seconds before they snap it. We all know what happens from there. Vrabel said their thought process was to bleed the clock down, convert the 1st down, and then have 2 plays to get into FG range. I'm sorry....what? With how the offense had looked all day, you really trust them to get into FG range on just 2 plays? Get into FG range first and then run all the clock you want. The fact that they were letting the clock go below 30 seconds with no hurry at all is just so bizarre to me. It's not like the offense had been rolling up and down the field. Every point was a struggle and one TD only happened because of the INT in Bengals territory. PK and the guys seem to think it was Vrabel showing a total lack of confidence in Tannehill and that he was terrified of another pick.

@FinFaninNOVA dang, I didn't know you were going to the game today!

If you wanna listen to a podcast that makes you feel really good about this match up listen to Warren Sharp's betting podcast. Tons of info about how the match-ups really favor the Titans: Best Bets for Every Divisional Round Game

And, just like that, Charles Davis is out. Magic. I should also state that I really hate watching Joe Burrow!

Yep.

https://www.theringer.com/nfl-playoffs/2022/1/20/22892206/titans-playoffs-bengals-derrick-henry-health Steven Ruiz dives into the madness of TR (whether knowingly or not) with an article chock-full of graphs, charts, etc. Just take the time to read it. The vocal crew will definitely have opinions. Charts include the following: Play-action passing game splits Rushing yards over expected (I haven't seen the detail this one presents posted here at TR) Play-action with and w/o Henry A heat map (!!) of play-action with and w/o Henry Play-action personnel splits Then lots of defensive screen shots and gifs. Go. Read. Have fun. Be sure to claim this as fully supporting your own personal narrative and how you have been right all along. Don't forget personal insults.

The Girlfriend just called me on her lunch break to tell me that she decided to plan something cute for us to do so she can post us on her instagram and go pottery making on Saturday at the same time the game starts

You just can't get into shot gun on third and six inches. You just can't. You're basically turning it into a 3rd and 5. Any penetration at all and you're guaranteed to lose yards. Inexcusable.

NFF produced a 20-min review of Julio’s season, and he didn’t mention the supposed Tanny-Julio timing issues or their purported origin in lack of practice time together. Maybe because that hasn’t been the problem? I never played football, so NFF’s videos are highly informative for me. It’s silly that it took until 2021 for this type of content to be produced.

A couple months ago, there was this fantasy of “well if they get everyone back in time for the playoffs…” But people kept getting injured, and I became pessimistic this would ever happen. It turns out that celebrating Colts injuries DIDNT lose us the division or the #1 seed. All those Titans injuries that our celebration caused is actually leading to a fresh and healthy roster. My only conclusion is that we must celebrate more teams’ injuries. Except concussions, cuz that’s fucked up.

1. Tannehill 2-7. Scrubs 8. Mahomes /logs out as @JoelinBellevue

Personally, I'd like to see the Titans go up tempo on the opening drive like they did versus the Chiefs. Get rolling early and keep Cincy in their base D.

lol only 3 guys on the injury report and only 1 not a full participant.

Sounds like Landry will definitely be a priority considering Vrabel mentioned him by name among the team leaders.

It doesn't strike me as a Vrabel move. But I think it's a mistake to go into next season with this guy. Slow starts were a constant, no feel for the flow of the game and the QB took a major step backwards.

Your wife and your cursed son better not be in that stadium on Saturday.

AJB and Julio experience Nashville weather very differently.

"The Titans are going to need to score more points than the Bengals if they want to win this game."

There are some hilarious replies to this tweet.

Maybe this is the week:

Yikes. I imagine it wasn't his intention but this wording is NOT standard praise and I'm sure will be used as fodder against Tannehill. 1. Starts with "We have to be great around him." 2. Followed with how he's shown signs of various qualities you must have. Not that he has them. Vrabel says he's shown signs of them.

Please just get a lead. Defense has that look in their eye today.

Another great breakdown by @NoFlagsFilm showing how the offense looks with all of its playmakers.

Exactly what we want them to think!

LFG

What they need to do is a deep dive on the interceptions in terms of bad throw, bad decision, bad play design.......It seemed like more than half of the picks were on tipped balls and at least 2 or 3 were where the defense was completely ready for the play.

Why would Kyle be working on mocks when his team is playing to go to the Super Bowl next week?

QB sneak that twice. End of story

it'll be Henry, left side for no gain....then Henry middle for 2 yds...then an incomplete pass to AJ....then a punt it's our way

Back to back division titles ? Or three straight playoffs appearances both fisher has never done

You said colts would win the division because Reich was a better coach than Vrabel. Incorrect.

Nothing says Tennessee Tough like using a blankie in 38 degree weather.
