Not quite that simple. If your OLine blows none of the other stuff matters.

Sure, but if the ball is catchable, whether or not the receiver catches the ball is what matters most.

You disagree that the coaching at the end of the half and down ten was cowardice and took away the team's only chance at competing? 

Yes. I disagree that it would have made a big difference in the big picture. We had plenty of opportunities to score after that and pissed those away. I have no reason to think we would have converted or that this would have led to an outcome different enough for me to get worked up about. At best, it would have delayed the blowout but rest assured, the blowout was coming.

Yeah same last week. The decisions were gutless but ultimately didnt change the outcome or even influence it that much.

Right. It's still completely fair to criticize the decisions in a vacuum but at the end of the day, the circumstances make it not worth spiking your blood pressure.

I didn't say we weren't going to get blown out. I said did you think those decisions erased the chance of it potentially being competitive. Big difference. In my mind the answer is yes. Points at the end of the half make it a one score game. The 4th down is convertible and gives the opportunity for points and not an immediate swing to 17 point blow out. 

 

For the record, the punt was in the 99th percentile for cowardice punts so it was obviously a terrible decision, as was the end of half.

I am going to guess fine means something different in ireland.

Nothing will top the punt from the 42 or whatever it was.

After the first 2 or 3 weeks it has been probably middle of the pack. Watch other NFL games

Some of them have been ok in pass blocking mainly skronski who is elite at it and cush who is good. Zeitler has been hot garbage most of the season. Moore is solid but has 2-5 come on man plays each week. Latham has been rough, his backup was starting to look decent before latham came back though. 

 

The run blockong is a whole different story, its been pretty terrible the whole year. 

 

If i had to give grades for the group as a whole id say C pass blocking and the lowest D i can give them without giving them an F for run blocking.

Strange how some here KNOW the Titans had no chance in this game...when they were too scared to take any. Making it both a weak-ass narrative and a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I don't get it to be honest. Football is a strange sport and momentum is a real thing. To say we would definitely get blown out when the coach took away the only chance not to get blown out doesn't make sense to me. We probably do, but it's a completely different ball game if we get points before half and convert the 4th down.

Udoh was pretty solid for sure. Hopefully Latham can break out of this, after all he always played for winners like IMG and Bama, a fact he points out in every interview.

Because even when they were “competitive” IND was running at will, completing passes with ease and everything looked easy for them on offense for the most part.

Fair. I can't stand that shit though. What a pussy move by McCoy. At least give the team a chance.

Baker(concussion), Woods(hamstring) and Hooker all injured in the secondary.  Did Hooker return to action?
