Jeff Triplette's crew was removed from the playoff rotation and he announced his retirement immediately after the game.
He was impossibly awful in that game.
By definition every time a player is tackled and doesn't fall forward, their momentum is stopped. Thus, there should never be a fumble when someone is going to the ground unless they're falling forward.
Just absolutely the worst call I've ever seen. I can't wait to get revenge on Sunday. [Reply]
I agree that the forward progress call on mariota's fumble was some bs. I would have been mad myself. But to say thats why you guys lost that one is grasping. That fg made it 21-3. Your non show offense in the 2nd half was the culprit. Oh and derrick henry running all over you. Look for more of that this sunday [Reply]

By the way, thats never been done before. Teams outgaining their opponents by 230 yards were 30-0. The Titans are breaking all kinds of records this postseason
They are going to be 31-0 after the Chief's blitzkrieg you guys this weekend.
I look forward to seeing the same old Henry run up the middle and a mechanical play-action miscue from Tannehill when you guys are down 5 scores. Because that is all you got. [Reply]

Yeah, hopefully, Alex Smith will play better this week. :-) [Reply]

You know who else does that? Reek. I was so impressed with how hard he worked this offseason.
From what I understand, they're already working out with Reek. But it's the minutiae, the little bits of experience that guys like Rice and Largent, Chris Carter, etc. have in their brains about how to get open consistently against DBs that might be faster, more athletic, bigger, etc. than they were that would be invaluable to these guys. It would be the difference between being a guy like Phillip Dorsett who's just fast but not a great receiver/route-runner and being Edelmann or Fitzy.
Fast and athletic will only get these guys so far. Smart and cagey will make them consistently productive when their speed fades. Or when they run into that guy who is faster and more athletic. [Reply]

Thats what they alk say, who havent watched a titans game this season. Thats what they said last week too before tannehill dropped bombs to go up 14-0. They say who the titans only threw for 90 yards. Fine with me, those 90 yards included 2 td passes. Then let Henry shorten the game.
And it would be 31-1. Titans broke that one last wk [Reply]

14-3.
And if they don't blow it dead there's an excellent chance Houston houses it.
The least they could've done was not fuck us on an identical call on the 2-pt conversion that Mariota fumbled that would've given us the lead back at the end of the game.
That call was enormous and some complete bullshit. [Reply]
Seeing Titans fans think this is their game.......reminds me of all the times Chiefs fans thought their running game would beat a great QB in the playoffs. [Reply]
Don't deceive yourself into thinking we haven't been watching the Titans because I can promise you we have.
You seem nice.
Titans fans seem nice.
Derrick Henry seems nice.
Tannehill is fun and a great story.
You're just coming up against a transcendental quarterback at a positively explosive moment with historical implications. Condolences on your upcoming loss but good luck next season, you have a lot to look forward to. [Reply]
