Allen played well...but when we needed him to put the game away up 1 score, he played like he didn’t know how to do it...guys were wide open short, and he just kept insisting on going long- like he was down two scores with 3 minutes to play...

 

Oh well, live and learn...he is still the man...👍

Josh Allen did not lose this game Josh Allen once again was a one man offense he doesn’t tackle Henry…he doesn’t cover Brown….he doesn’t block…he’s still the teams best running back my goodness what more can this kid do

It’s frustrating when you are the better team but still lose. 
 

a few bad luck plays, and a few “you are better than that” moments 

 

It’ll happen occasionally but the key in the two loses was simply physicality. We will generally handle finesse teams but struggle against powerful defensive lines that can clog up lanes and get pressure.

Yeah I’d rather see Epenesa than Addison in there. Not a good look to have both of your second round picks from the last two drafts inactive.

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

i do not think he slipped the D line went low knocking the  line back some and prob into Allens legs.  hated the cutesy call....If your going to do the sneak fine line up and do it right even hard count it a cpl times

 

He definitely slipped. He did a weird little hop and then slipped with both feet and went straight to the ground. It's nearly impossible to stop a QB from moving the ball six inches forward unless he either fumbles or slips. Tom Brady is one of the least athletic quarterbacks to ever play football and he makes these plays every single time.

Exactly, how many games did Kelly blow during his tenure here. No ones perfect. We got a bye week and the week after that we play Miami and then JAX and then the Jets. We’re gonna be fine lol

Agree 100 percent. The bills were shredding them on short to intermediate passes and to take that sack looking for the deepshot that wasn’t there was a bad play by josh. Then a subsequent bomb and a long no-chance iass to sweeney meant that we couldn’t nail them deep.

i don't know why, but I was almost emotionless at the end. they were just better than us, and it didn't feel like there was anything or anybody to blame. 

 

after everything that happened the entire game, we still had a chance and just couldn't do it. what else can you ask for? 

Kick the FG and win in OT?

This here.that starting in shotgun was bs and caused ja to have to run up to center and then bunny hop before trying to plant and go and he slipped out. Have him under center and dig the cleats in and be automatic like TB and for ***** sake don’t sneak behind Feliciano sheesh

The O-line got knocked on their back on the last play. The call was correct because the Titans scored on 6 straight possessions. They lose the toss, they probably lose. Blame Dawkins and Mongo. They are not good enough on goal line smash mouth scenarios. Brady always made those plays and he's not the athlete Josh is.

The 8 yard gain was there all day for the taking.  Tom Brady has made his living on that stuff, but their corners were out and Allen has a lot of trouble staying patient.  This game should’ve been a blowout if they’d just been more focused and methodical on offense.  Sugar High Josh and Daboll.

That “Sugar High” Josh is so overblown and overused. Josh played a good game…..defense on the other hand didn’t travel for this game.

Also why sneak to Simmons side? Probably their best IDL

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
