Ward needed that, that was a huge game winning drive

BTW, the Ridley catch to set up the FG was exactly like about 4 or 5 dropped throughout this season. He had to stretch for it and make a slightly difficult catch but it was more than catchable. 

So happy for Callahan/Ward/Simmons and the rest of this team they so desperately needed this win to release the pressure.

One last point of emphasis to watch in the replay is the deep pass to Ridley to set the game winning [almost missed shot - again - but we'll take it] and how both Cam Ward and Ridley communicate to each other at the line before beelining that beautiful pass to him down the right field boundary. 

 

Nice to see his potential under center.

Huh? The clock management at the end was perfect on defense and before the kick. There is plenty of actual shit to complain about. 

I was referring to kneeing the ball and not trying to score knowing your kicker has missed 4 field goals and an extra point. Cards looked like they were going to let the Titans walk in

Callahan managed the end of the game absolutely perfectly.  You have to expect your kicker can make a chip shot.  The last thing they needed was to give the ball back to the Cardinals with time for 2-3 plays and a Hail Mary.  Do we not remember the "Hail Murray" play?  With Marvin Harrison Jr, that could've happened again.

Sneed deserves some credit.  While he didn't hit the ball his hustle forced the RB to stretch the ball over the goal line which is why he dropped it.  Had he given up it would've been an easy TD where he didn't drop the ball.

Not so sure, could have just been one of those ridiculous screw ups where they celebrate/release the ball too early, regardless of Sneed.

@SleepingTitan you still wanting to trade Big Jeff or did you wise up?

Well, obviously yes. The logic was and is trade high while he's still worth the draft capital. Understand, he's playing well, but he's played well before only to miss games or play the 2nd half of the season hurt. 

 

The point is that he's not a good investment for the Titans long-term. They need other pieces MORE. I never said he wasn't good or that he would fall off a cliff this year, and it's dumb af that you keep implying that with these @

 

I expect him to play well. That's why he's worth draft capital. I also expect him to miss games and (overall) not match his opportunity cost which is $$$$ + draft picks. Titans don't need $ but they need picks.

It felt like on one of the earlier Pollard runs in the redzone, maybe the first redzone play after the catch, the Cards were trying to give up the score. So yeah, definitely the right approach.

This was a great half of football towards Ward's development. 

 

Really proud of the kid today. 

 

193 yards passing in the fourth quarter

That's what we want Bo. We want that every quarter. Titans radio crew said largest comeback since 2006? V. Young. 

 

And as for Cally, I'll also say this: I haven't seen the team really quit yet. They still believed they could win all the way to the whistle. Sneed chased down that fumble and they hopped on the last one. The boys kept going.
