InTheBuffAllTheTime Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I searched and found nothing in the post-game thread. Also found nothing in media articles. How do the Titans pull this out of the bag-o-tricks AGAIN against the Bills, on national TV, and it not get any press???? Can you imagine if it worked.........AGAIN.....legal or otherwise?? It's entertaining to me to think about the special teams coach pitching this idea to Vrabel in the game prep meetings. They must have been SO EXCITED to try this. Can't believe the MNF commentators didn't even reference it. Thought for sure they'd pull out the clip after it happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuncha Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 They played the clip before the game. That was more than enough for me to see. Every time we play these guys we have to relive that F'n play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haslett_Stomp Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 at least the referees made the correct call this time. 7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yeah they set that one up on a tee and the broadcast team whiffed. I think Levy was drunk, I'm pretty sure I heard him call our QB Tannehill and he didn't seem to understand that the game was on the line for that 4th down play.

Freddie's Dead Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 My Vrabel hate has peaked, clowning us on national TV. ***** him and the horse he rode in on. We needed to beat those pricks.

Big Turk Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 That was so obvious it was a forward pass... But I did find something interesting...it appeared they marked the penalty from where he caught the ball, not where it was thrown from. Is that correct? I mean if that's the case what is to stop a team from just throwing it 50 yards down field hoping their player catches it and then take the 5 yard penalty?

Motorin' Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 That was actually a much cooler play design than the original. The blocker that he threw the ball too was on the opposite side of the field and just sprinted straight to his spot while the gunner he was covering ran across the field to the direction of the kick. There was no reason anyone should have even noticed him do that. Good thing their returner can't freaking throw. I would not be surprised to see other teams adopt this. Even if they don't throw the ball, the gunner could pull a trailing player out of the return lane. And if he doesn't, he's got a whole lane open to him if the ball gets to him.

Mango Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I had a bad feeling about this game when the Bills didn't get fired up at pulling that trash early in the game. I cannot put into words how enraged I was at my core when they did that. I expected the defense and the offense to come out and make them pay after that, and they didn't. I was disappointed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marky Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 That, and the Chief's game, where they had a couple people line up under center, like they were mocking us for passing on Mahomes.

I felt the same way until I remembered that most of the these players for the Bills were under the age of 10 when it happened, They dont have it in the outrage folder in their collective consciousness like we do! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny to call it, we'd love it if we were Tenn fans, but now we hate them. More fun for a rivalry and a team we may see in the playoffs.

I think the Titans definitely knew what they were doing.... but what player or coach would even be offended by that? The owner isn't even the same. It was more of a troll job on the fans than on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something not talked about enough and IMO the reason why McDermott truly went for the win at the end of the game to stick it to Vrabel for basically disrespecting and trolling the Bills with that play. Either way if these two teams do meet again in the postseason I hope it's in Buffalo and I hope they somehow play with the same focus on emotion they did against the Chiefs last week because if not we'll lose yet again to them.

If that bounces around and gets recovered you look like an absolute idiot. Its not the 4th quarter and you aren't desperate.

It reminds me of when Vrabel exploited the rulebook loophole that Belichik originally came up with against Belichik. Watching Belichik lose his mind was priceless. Vrabel definitely has an edge to his play calling https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/mike-vrabel-uses-bill-belichicks-own-nfl-rulebook-loophole-against-him-in-titans-win-over-patriots/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Absolute clown call. Vrabel is a friggin joke. It's too bad the guys on our team are so young and have such little long term affiliation with the team. The fact they even DARED to run that play against us again should have been enough to fire up the Bills and turn the momentum on the bullying. Unfortunately, we never got there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I too heard him call Allen "Tannehill" and neither Levy nor his cohorts corrected it. He had a similar gaffe earlier. Early on he was also belaboring the point about Bills fans not really taking over in town or in the stadium and how overblown that was by others.
