Game Thread NFL Playoffs: Titans @ Ravens

[Hoopguru]

They are as tough on both sides of the ball of any remaining team.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Either did the Patriots

I honestly wasn’t shocked by them beating the Pats. The Pats were showing cracks, especially down the stretch run of the season.

But this is absurd right now.

Dean Pees and Titans D providing blueprint for stopping Lamar Jackson and Ravens.

 

[Chris Craig]

The Vikings can feel a little better about themselves

 

[Hobbesarable]

The Derrick Henry Locomotive making his way toward the endzone, baby!

 

[Hobbesarable]

Time to ride the Henry Loco to several first downs and run down the clock!

 

[Hobbesarable]

Got the first down with a QB sneak.

This is classic run control offense.

 

[Hobbesarable]

That Polamalu and Mahomes commercial is hilarious. Haha.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Vrabel forced Ravens to use their second timeout to keep the clock from running down.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Ravens making that last run.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

If Ravens won this.....

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Big 4th down coming...

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Game.

Blouses!

 

[Hobbesarable]

Using a lot of time. That is what the Titans D wanted to do and they succeeded.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Lamar Jackson’s stats are unreal.

But his three turnovers (two INT’s, one fumble) overshadow them, and cost his team the game (obviously).

 

[Hobbesarable]

Titans passing yards last week was 71 and 83 this week. The Henry Loco ran for over 180 yards in both postseason games.

That reminded Dad of games during the 1970s.

Also why doesnt really look bad for Mariota, Tenn has become ground and pound, once in a while they hit a big play action play and Tannehill has a better arm than Mariota but its not like Tannehill is the reason they’re winning.

He does enough for their offense with his reads before the snap and he is doing it efficiently without turning the ball over. Titans run the classic run control offense with the Henry Loco as the focal point.

I would not be surprised if the Titans focus on the running game again next year by drafting more offensive linemen and tight ends. Have more blockers to spell others when they need a rest. Rotating players in and out of the game as needed.

It is kind of a shock how much the Titans have improved since benching MM.

So, is Marcus that big a loser - or did his team-mates sandbag him?

He's definitely one of the reasons.. I don't know how you can say he's not. If Mariota was playing they wouldn't be in this position. Tannehill is just better than Mariota at this point. He did throw for 2700 yards and 22 TDs in 12 games.

He got more yards in first 4 playoff games than any other player in history.

I have to disagree. The team plays better with Tannehill at QB...and that is the only stat that ultimately counts.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

#TitanUp y'all!!!!

 

[Hobbesarable]

Titans only needed to trade 4th and 7th round picks for Tannehill. It looks like an absolute steal now.

They started at 2-4 to begin the season and they just advanced to the AFC championship game.

Lol. Like he had anything to do with it.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Titans going to get spanked like the Vikings got spanked by San Francisco?

That would be a big no.

They were in this round of the playoffs with Mariota like 2 years ago and won a game vs kc if I remember right.

 

[Chris Craig]

Crazy...Patriots, Saints, and Ravens all out.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Lol. Like he had anything to do with it.

Wtf are you talking bout, Willis?

 

[Strenuus]

Wtf are you talking bout, Willis?

He wasnt the running back breh. Just the placeholder so they had enough people to field a team. Lmao.
