Daboll and the defense were the reasons we lost. 

Can’t blame Daboll, Josh had receivers open he either missed or didn’t get the ball to. Blame the defense for making Tannehill look like Brady. I don’t think they sacked him once.

Defense was helpless. Edmunds was ***** useless again.

Josh didn't have guys open when Daboll was calling run plays on 2nd and long in the RZ all first half. 

 

Play calling was better in the second half but we lost the game kicking FGs in the first.

I have to agree.  The second last drive just needed to burn clock, rest the defense, and get points.  Either 3 or clinch it with 6. Still, he got us down there the next drive.  They actually signaled his 3rd down run a first down.  There should have been a review.  I feel they rushed the fourth down call and got blown up.

Also why sneak to Simmons side? Probably their best IDL

it didn’t feel like josh planned his route in line with the blocking scheme. 

or maybe more aptly the scheme didn’t match the call. 
 

you don’t even have to get a push there. That’s the beauty. You break even, you win. You lose and you still probably win. Just don’t create a hole, totally whiff and allow direct penetration into the hole you created.
 

without a replay- did mongo cut inside further than needed? I know Dawkins is getting beat up but felt like the whole flow was off somewhere in there. Like matching helmets to guys didn’t match Josh’s angle at all

Completely disagree on this. I thought he played very well and had several big hits on Henry.

Josh’s biggest flaw tonight is he didn’t play defense too. D had been great all year but sh*t the bed tonight. You put up 31 points on the road you should win

you don’t do an inside run on 2nd and goal from the 12?

 

I recall the interviews in the off-season about trying to convert 2nd down instead of 3rd. Think they bailed on that philosophy on that call

Absolutely disagree - i thought Edmunds was fine and I’m not a big Edmunds fan. I thought the defensive strategy of giving tanehill easy 8 yd throws was the downfall. If the D makes any of those stops on 3rd 

/4th down in the second half, we win

The stat is 13 out of 14 successful sneaks for Josh in his career. . The only miss was a muffed snap. The left side is his favorite direction. Just a devastating loss for the better club.

I'm throwing no shade on Allen in this one. That Titans pass rush was coming at him consistently in this game and he took some rough hits yet kept getting up and making plays. 

 

 

[LOVEMESOMEBILLS]

We were back to Josh being the whole offense. He accounted for 361 of our 417 yards, threw all 3 TDs and caught the 2 point conversion. 

 

Did he miss a couple plays, yup, but we get blown out tonight without him.

I agree that drive was crucial and Allen taking that sack was a very critical mistake at a terrible time by him.

 

But when one play or even one drive is the difference........then you didn't play well enough to deserve to win.

 

They played themselves into a slug fest with bad red zone play and settling for field goals.

 

When you play the Titans you gotta' decapitate their defense and then tee off on Tannehill..........they accomplished neither and were fortunate to still have a chance at the end.

Think the defense didn’t know this? Also Simmons is their best IDL

[wiseman3]

Just a reminder that Josh completed 75% of his passes for 353 yards and 3 touchdowns. Lol. He was NOT even close to the reason we lost this game. The defense forcing exactly zero punts in the 2nd half is what lost it

Your right but it's still winning your one on one battle at the end of a frenetic drive. They didn’t get it done. I guarantee that type of sneak won't happen again this year against big time D-lines.

It hurt, but scared defense would’ve let us down in the end. Couldn’t stop AJ or Henry

[BillsfaninSB]

I’m good with the 4th down call.  I wished they tried to draw them Offside.  They were hyped-up.  Had a chance to work.
