Statistically, what is a good red zone offense? Right now, we have the most trips in the league, scored 100% of the time, but have about a 58% TD rate. by comparison, TB is in the low 60%’s and KC is around 70%. what is a very good/elite conversion rate?

I will just say this about Vrabel— i think it be totally unfair to say he came from the Bellichick coaching tree. He didn’t. in fact, My theory is that his style of coaching is more of a product of playing for the Steelers than anything else. Play hard physical 3-4 defense; and run the ball. He even cycles through assistants and players in the same way as the Steelers do— just fit new guys into your general Framework and keep going.

Agreed. its becoming unwatchable.

Would be risky, but I think we had time to use a TO and score. The reality is you get the first down, and then can call your last TO if needed, and then you have probably 2 passes to the endzone to try to score.

Hindsight is 20/20— but using a timeout there would have really been wise. Settle everything down; get into the right play call.

I am the first guy to blame the refs usually— but that was literally a perfect spot.

Why couldn’t Tre shadow AJ? Instead, Tre was crashing the run. Sort of odd.

And we held Tanny to 215 yards passing. I thought the D played fine. Henry is just a beast to stop in the red zone and those little 5-yard runs here and there add up, and then he punches them in.

I actually also thought they wanted to cover more for the physicality of it— set the tone and blow them up. I think they did pretty well overall. But i am of the “don’t tempt fate” camp.

he was trying for the kill Shot. We could have dunked and dunked it for a FG instead.

I think it was intentional. Felt better about covering than a touchback.

So my hot take is that we outcoached and outplayed them. The game was just decided on a few plays where we were out-executed— Specifically, the QB sneak and the long Henry run. we have up that long Henry run (where 3 guys were held)— but without that, we hold Henry to 75 yards and Tanny to 215 yards? That’s pretty good. And on O we got whatever we wanted. would have liked a better play call at the end, and a TD conversion on at least one of the FG’s. But you aren’t going to be 100% in the red zone.

would have loved to see a RPO there. Score a TD.

I agree. Not sure how anyone can call this a brutal loss. It was a great game and a close loss to a good team.

Wish we had run the fake QB sneak and pitch to Breida. It was there.

Hindsight is 20/20— but I think I would have passed there to try to score a TD.

Great call. Titans D held.

They have to Be smart here. We are behind. Need to get into chip shot range before we start bleeding a lot or clock.

not on Daboll. Josh had lots of guys to check down to. it was clear that he was just trying to go for the kill Shot. Not smart.

another near block on the punt. This is getting ridiculous.

Sack was killer. he had a bunch of guys open like 20’yards down the field.

Here is the money drive. Gotta keep taking those deep shots.

josh needed to underthrownhim by 10 yards. Then it would be. It’s unreal.

I Would Iike us take some deep shots. Keep them honest.

Henry is impossible to stop inside the 5. Wow.
