Having someone actually cover A.J. Brown would've helped, I think.

Tanny and AJB ate up the zone for sure.

I blame Steve Tasker. He said on OBL yesterday that it was gonna be a beat down by the Bills. He said they paid back the Chiefs last week and that the Bills still had a sour taste in their mouth from last years beating by Tennessee. Also said they haven't forgot that game and they would pound the Titans. Said it wouldn't even be close, because they knew how to stop Henry.

Either decision was right... titans could've won the toss and steamrolled us in overtime too..we didn't stop them at all in the second half really.  Qb sneak on 4th and inches with Josh allen has gotta be like 75% chance of success but it didn't work out 

99.9% chance.  Sucks it didn't work.  I was talking to my bud on the phone when it was going on, not even realizing the circumstances.  I had that much 'know' that was going to work.  Sucks it didn't, but 99.9% times, it does!  They won tonight, and deservedly so.  Damn, they're RB is a STUD!  Best in the NFL, and so strong/game-changing on his own.  Maybe more than (not saying he's better, but he's definitely game-changing as any that has ever been) Barry.  And Barry was THE MAN!  Just in different ways.

RB's aren't supposed to be 6'3, 250!   That's flipping TE size, NOT a RB with the wheels, and moves that truck has!

The line being what it was and all the media I saw  picking the Bills to cover had me thinking a lot of people were underestimating the Titans. I thought this one was gonna be close.

Anybody know why the ball was spotted on the 5 yard line when Diggs was held in the endzone?

If you look at the replay the first contact starts about the 5 yd line.

QB should go straight ahead as soon as the ball is hiked.  Josh danced to his left and then tried to go in.  hard to say what this play was designed to do; maybe Josh off left tackle but Sweeney's block is late.

I think that Dawkins did what he was supposed to do.  The entire left side of the line is blocking down and Josh looks at the oncoming outside LB before deciding to go off guard left guard.  I'll bet Sweeney is supposed to prevent the outside LB from crashing down, thus giving Josh a lane off left tackle.

On the replays I watched it looked like Dawkins got blown up and decleated. The left side of the line have had better games.

 

On those same replays it looks like Moss could have jogged to the sticks or maybe scored with Sweeny sealing the edge if the call had been for Allen to fake the sneak then pitch it to Moss on the end around. Tennessee completely sold out crashing the left side of the OL and there were opportunities to take advantage of that.

 

Would-a, could-a, should-a...

Tannehill was the most sacked QB coming into today and you’d never know it based on how little pressure we got. 

Even worse, Lewan went out early, making this even more embarrassing.

[FieldGeneral]

Tannehill is the new Alex Smith. Never makes the boneheaded mistake and does just enough to keep his team in the game. Sitting for 2 weeks on this loss will not be fun.

You take away his running game and Tammy makes all kinds of mistakes

Why was tonight the night to get cute and start obada? Epenesa and Boogie are physical and quick enough to get to Henry before he gets steam. 

I think playing Obada or Phillips is fine, but there was no reason to have both.  I would have much rather have sat Addison instead of Epenesa too.

[Steptide]

Hindsight is always 20/20, but the bills shoulda ran that 2 point conversion play on the 4th and 1 at the end of the game instead of on the 2 pt conversion

Well that took the sail out of our wind 🙁

I can’t believe we have to live with this for 2 weeks

We had to endure the same thing last year, and look where it got us.

 

Keep your eyes on the prize bro!

I blame the coaching.  We only rushed 4 on passing plays, but didn’t have our best pass rushers out there.  Why is Zimmer playing so much on passing downs.  

Well, *Coach*, it was a management decision to beef up the middle of the Dline for the game. Harry played very well, stuffing holes and providing inside rush pressure. But you have to take off your BBFS sunglasses to see. 
I’ll try to find out why your piercing insights weren’t recognized. …….

TN is really asserting themselves as a nemesis.

 

Kind of fun, in a way.  Rivalries are cool, especially when you truly can't stand the other team.

 

If ‘truly can’t stand the other team’ is the criteria, count me in on our newest rivalry!

[JMF2006]

What a great game...too bad the Bills lost

 

 McD made a gutsy call to go for it and they just couldn't execute the play.

 

I think they should have faked the FB Gilliam plunge they used in pre season and ran Josh around the end to the right.

 

You got to give him credit he could have just kicked the FG and took his chances on OT

I am over it already.

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

What a terrible loss. I had dreams all night about the game. Alternate endings, replaying the last two plays over and over, seeing the stupid Titans celebrating, etc. One of the all-time heartbreakers. Feels like thinking back over what happened after your girlfriend leaves you or something. Hurts like that

Tough one.  It was the right thing to go for it, but I wish they would have been more inventive with the call.  
 

You win games up front, and we just got beat up front last night similar to the Steelers game.  Brown had his first game where he looked like a rookie.  Interior line play and Dawkins still spotty at best.  
 

McD will use this as a motivator.
