I don't think it's a distance thing, but a pressure/time of game thing. I don't think it's sensible but it seems to be the thinking to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, our MVP got murdered. I don't understand That was my first reaction as well. O fuck did Kern get hurt....

A FG puts you up by 7. I mean... Unless the guy truly is a moron you have to wonder if he's legit trying to get canned. He was trying to put the game away. I had no problem with it whatsoever. In fact I liked it. I wanted them to go for it on 4th down. A first down basically ends the game. Or close to it. A FG puts them up 7 and Tampa could have easily come down and scored. And maybe even gone for 2 and the win? This reminds me of last week. When you have a chance to bury a team you go for it. Too many coaches coach scared. Vrabel doesn't coach scared.

Terrible call. He is picking the worst times to make these calls. Agree for some of this but going for it on 4th last game was the right call.

Maybe, maybe not. When it doesn't work there's always going to be criticism. That's just how it works. If it was blocked better you'd have people saying wow Vrabel, what a great call. And if they'd gone for it on 4th and 2 and didn't get it? It would have been why don't you just kick the FG and get the full TD lead. Again, you have a chance to put the game away you take it. Every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But overall the fact that the Titans, after absolutely having no answers for the Buccaneers All Pro receiver were able to literally hold him with nothing after early in the 3rd and offensively were able to take over goes to coaching. And it goes both ways. Bruce Arians was terrible. If I was a Bucs fan I'd be livid right now. Much like I was after the Buffalo game with Vrabel.

There was no way that was getting overturned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnasty Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 He’s done a very good job with the defense and special teams and made a good decision of benching Mariota. His issue is really his OCs playcalling and his sideline decisions. Its funny to me how so many ardent Mariota supporters are calling for Vrabels head. Suddenly you all care about winning?

Tampa Bay should have won today. I think they outplayed the Titans. To me it's their first win when getting outplayed. Again, when that happens it's normally a coaching thing. Tampa Bay has a lot of talent. They're 2-5 but really could and should be a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 1 minute ago, Soxcat said: Put Mariota out there as the holder if we are going to do that kind of call. A QB holding wouldn't raise as much suspicion and you have a runner who can make the 1st down. The blocks were there but we didn't have a runner quick enough. Maybe have Kern stop and throw the ball also makes more sense. The fake doesn't bother me as much as the play call and execution. I kind of see where Vrabel was coming from on that one. Sure, we had a 51 yard FG earlier but our kicker was due to doink one which gives them the ball at the same spot anyway. The odds aren't bad you can make it if you have the right call and the right guys running it. Yeah, I was convinced he was missing that kick. But even if they had Adam Vinatieri in his prime I'm not kicking it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
