Well...We Won

[HawkRiderFan]

I didn't play calling was an issue on 4th down D. Ward had to make some pretty athletic off-script plays to convert some of those.

Do what? They won. What else matters???

This. It's a football forum. Let foke get their shit off

We were up 20 most of the day. Seriously, it was never in doubt.

I would love to see this team run on all cylinders for once. Our offense seems to get worse as games go along and then at the end we pick it up again. But it often feels like we are not doing what we are capable of. Play calling or decisions in the moment I don’t know but it seems like we are really new to this

Hawks practice squad won. Noice

When you get up by 20/30 points early, avoiding turnovers and playing a bit more conservatively is the right call

We don't want Sam tossing multiple int's and allowing the other team to get back in it......

I thought it was one of those scoreboard close, but not really all that close games because the Titans never had a real shot at winning this game.
Ward looked very good in the 2nd half
Grats to Smith-Njigba

No shot of winning the game..?? What happens if they recovered the onside kick...they were only down 6.

While true, Tits still converted too many gottdamn 4ths. Get off the field!

Eff It.... We won today, I'm going to drink some beers and enjoy the rest of the games....

With 40 seconds and no timeouts? And a plodding offense?

Also, onside kicks are never recovered anymore haha

I missed the 1st quarter and I missed the 4th quarter. In between I saw a Super Bowl contender beat a sub .500 team.

The only thing I really don’t like is letting them convert 5/7 on 4th down.

We didn’t win by enough. Some fans after todays win.

I was never nervous about the outcome of this game from the opening kickoff till the last second ticked off the clock, and I can be a pretty nervy guy about sports.

It’s not that we didn’t win by enough. It’s more like this team makes little errors that mess up the game. Those little errors almost let the titans think they had a shot. Those little errors cost us the win against teams like the rams. Watching this team constantly have to overcome themselves is discouraging, even in a win.

I very much disagree. The issue Seattle has repeatedly is opening the door while leading teams instead of slamming it shut.
If you kill the game off not only are you avoiding a potential calamity (it didn’t happen today but could end your season in the playoffs or key seeding matchup), you also have to play your starters longer increasing injury chances etc.
We won; again great, but the same as Houston / Arizona (x2) we look identity-less when playing with a lead. It’s not just a shoulder shrug and who cares because we won thing; it’s a repetitive problem that has the potential to bite us in the ass when it matters

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Ok

Was (and still am) wondering if Titans broke a record for the number of fourth downs converted in a game. [EDIT: Los Angeles Chargers hold the record, converting 6 of 7 fourth down attempts in 2022 vs Las Vegas Raiders. Titans came within one conversion of tying that.]

Hopefully that was accomplished only because our D went into prevent mode for the final quarter or so. Otherwise, yikes.

I've seen Cam play quite a few games on tv when he was at Miami, and he can flat out play.
