What was uber-conservative?

Start with all the 1st down runs for starters.

 

And the 3rd and 1 pitch play was atrocious.

There are some people that flat out do not like Vrabel.  His uber conservative nature is going to cost the Titans?  They were in the AFC Championship last year and scored 33 points today.  And moved it at will most of the day today.

It's not that he's uber conservative.  It's that he manages to go conservative at the worst parts of the game to lean on the run.

Titans were outgained 480-354. What game were you watching?? 

So?  The Jaguars were in comeback mode which is part of the reason.  But the game is 4 quarters and the Titans did dominate the first half.  And, again, made the plays at the end.

Baltimore had 550 yards of offense in the playoff game and lost by 16 points.  Yards are nothing without points.

He was trying to manage the clock.  I liked the 3rd and 1 call.  You really should be able to pick that up.

Jags are a decent team.  Minshew is no joke.  Good win.  So many times it just takes someone making a play in crunch time.  Finding a way to win when you're struggling is a huge deal.  

They really aren’t a decent team but Minshew is a good QB who makes up for physical deficiencies with a high football IQ

Underselling is one thing but this was not a toss up game.  If the Titans would have lost this game, it would have been a colossal disappointment.

Idk about the "colossal" part of it, but I could go for the word "big". Big disappointment seems like it would have been apropos.

Quit responding to him please.  I have him on ignore and don't want to read his negative garbage.

I'm still waiting for people to wake up to the reality that Minshew is a very legit QB and honestly I'm ready to say he should be their franchise QB. I know he's small, has limited arm talent, and is a 6th rounder but he just shows up. Can't talent your way into that. If not for the pick, he dices us up and at least gets to field goal range. Annoying that they found a QB so just when we open our SB window.

I couldn’t be happier with the fact Minshew will keep them away from the first pick.

And not a surprise at all.  At least not to me.

I didn't expect a blow out but I was expecting the Titans to win.  As was pretty much everyone in the country except perhaps you and Maker84

I had the Vikings as a loss.  It look possible we could get a win up there, if they can get everybody(most) healthy.

Disagree, if Jacksonville doesn’t have that one turnover they win this game 

Speculation.  But they did.

I picked the Titans to win.  I'm just saying that them losing would not have come as a shock to me.

Depends on your definition of decent I suppose, but they are certainly not the laughable losers they were made out to be before the season.

Vrabel is not uber conservative.  Never has been, never will be.  

 

Lol stop. They ran the ball far  too often in the 2nd half when Tannehill was having a career day. The guy had 2 incompletions going into the 4th quarter. Vrabel was also super conservative in the New England playoff game. He's a defensive minded coach who goes into turtle mode sometimes. Its the one thing he needs to change to be a great HC.
