Game #12 Tennessee Titans vs NE Patriots Nov.29, 2021 1:00 PM CBS

its called great blocking The titans oline is an anamoly great in run mode suck in pass mode

titans dline is the same great vs run not so much vs the pass

i missed that run so I didn't see the blocking... In the end it didn't matter so I shouldn't worry about it too much I guess... Though giving up that many yards on the ground (regardless if it led to fumbles or points) is concerning

 

[Southieinnc]

Yes that was a huge gash for the 68 yard TD (though that's concerning... How do they let someone other than Henry do that?)... Yes that fumble was very nice... Very fortunate it happened as well

The fumble wasn't fortunate. The RB's were backups and responded to the team's needs.
I was sitting at home watching the RB flexing his arm like he had a cramp in it. (while the vetannouncers were talking shit)
Every time the RB carried we ripped at the ball and got 3 fumbles out of a very good effort.
It would have looked better if we made the tackles sooner but end result were the takeaways.

I'm quite pleased the Pats coaches? spotted the player cramping. Titans should have alternated better? Tough to be in game shape when you are used to sitting on the bench.

How was the fumble not fortunate? It gave the ball back to the Patriots when the Titans appeared to be getting some momentum and possibly could go in for a score

I was pointing out the fumble was not luck. It was a well-coached, well-played plan. Fortunate to me, implied good luck.

Was it fortunate? It certainly wasn't unfortunate!

 

[Southieinnc]

Our O-line stuggled a bit early on. Karras was not having a good day and reminding us why he is a backup.

"The most notable change from last week was a slight uptick in playing time for Michael Onwenu, who played over the course of two series in the second quarter. His extra reps came at the expense of Ted Karras, who’s struggles early in the game paved way for the reemergence of Onwenu for a short time."

It was a lot of skill from the defense for sure but a little bit of luck as well...

 

[Southieinnc]

By the way! Shout out to Gunner Olszewski and Patriots special teams play! Hell of a game!

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Did I just see the Titans had TWO 100 yard rushers? That's a little concerning!

But woohoo... WIN!!!!!

Yup, no Henry, still had two 100 yard rushers and still got pummelled.

At this point in time I really like what I see from Jones. Not beating weak teams only lately. And that nice little TD pass to Bourne was a beauty.

You make your own luck!

Just finished watching the replay of the Titans game on NFL Network.

Did anyone notice that it was snowing the entire game until the 6:50 mark of the 4th quarter?

It was about 28 degrees.

Mac can throw in the cold and the snow.

He still has work to do... He missed Henry for that easy td and threw that screen into the ground. But as with all things Mac, he's trending in the right direction.

BB pulled Karras and put in Owenue in the second quarter. When the teams came out for the second half, Karras was back in at LG and stayed for the rest of the game.

Michael Onwenu named the best interior offensive lineman of the 2020 draft

Two a New England Patriots’ 2020 draft class has had some hits and misses so far, but the team seemingly hit the jackpot twice. In Round 2, it selected do-it-all safety Kyle Dugger — a potential cornerstone of the secondary for years to come. Four rounds later, Michael Onwenu was added to the...
