Loss is on offense

[chris98251]

Horrible third down conversion rate.

The long balls were pretty but Wilson seemed to get greedy, started looking at them over underneath time of possession moving chains play.

Where were the TE's.

Where was Alex Collins, had a great run but we started seeing Homer more and no more Collins.

Where was the Motion, seemed we looked at last years offense instead of what we seen last week.

To many in's and outs and not enough sustained drives to keep defense fresh, they wore down and a back like Henry will start producing over time. They don't have to be all runs, underneath stuff for first downs work also.

I won't say we took our foot off the gas, we tried to many quick strikes and took ourselves off the field.

Oh and the Officials, they seemed to be more sensitive to Seattle players in the Taunting and incidental infractions, won't way they didn't happen but they were also called ticky tacky versus no calls on the Titans for similar stuff.

I agree and I think we may be the minority.

Dont care about the refs, we had plenty of chances to put this away with some basic ass football on the offensive side. They got all hyped on some big plays and never tried to play the game after that

They gave up over 500 yards on defense. That is in no way the offenses fault.

The middle of the field was wide OPEN all damn day. No adjustments by KNJ. Ugh!

Then you didn't watch the game, your defense can't be on the field that much with a back like Henry pounding the ball and also playing prevent defense over half the game with a lead.

Did you watch the game or do stats tell the whole story. Offense had 6 points in the second half off a broken play. Defense was gassed

 

[TreeRon]

Yes, the offense was offensive. What happened to the vaunted Waldron's offense that was soooo revolutionary, so refreshing. Looked like same ol same ol to me. We left the D out on the field was too much in the 2nd half. Too few 3rd down conversions and the scoring strike was fast and left the D unrested.
This one's on Pete and Waldron.

 

[James in PA]

Plenty of blame to go around. Offense sucked (homerun ball or nothing), defense sucked and even special teams contributed to this L. Make that damn PAT and we may have won it in regulation.

We left the D out on the field way too much in the 2nd half. Too few 3rd down conversions.The scoring strike was fast and left the D unrested.

Pete pulled the reigns in. There was no motion today. The first two plays were two long slow developing handoffs to Carson with no motion and obvious to all leading to a 3 and out.

Everything was Schotty difficult today. unimaginative running game, unimaginative passing game and just hope RW can bail them out. Stark contrast to the beautiful play last week.

 

[hoxrox]

This is why you control clock by pounding the rock - which they went away from in the second half.


The fast scoring is great, but it doesn't matter when the other team scores right back.

I've seen plenty of good defenses in my lifetime that have been able to hold their own regardless of what the offense does.

 

[sutz]

The offense never really had a sustained drive. It was all deep passes and the one score off the turnover on a short field. Other than that, no drives with consecutive 1st downs and building momentum.

So yeah, this is on the offense mostly. Though the defense had too many bone-headed penalties turning stops into Tennessee 1st downs.

Our OC and DC are to fall on the sword for PC

Not when they are in prevent and not playing up within 8 yards instead back off at 12 to 14 yards allowing all those screens and underneath completions.

 

[rsRyno]

Why are we arguing over whether it was the offense’s fault or the defense’s? Both were issues. Both looked like the team of last season; even in the first half when things looked good. Tennessee struggled to click in the first half on offense and their defense gave up big plays. Second half we went for more big plays on offense, but didn’t get them and then the defense gave up chunks at all times. This loss is on the coaching. Period. Whether that’s Pete, Norton, Waldron, or all. No adjustments, same plays, and no accountability (penalties and stupid play piled up). Until the coaching staff and head coach start taking some blame and accountability (Pete has thus far refused to allow that) then we’re gonna have the same issues over and over.

The u did not watch the game your defense has to get off the files themselves not give up 60% on 3rd down.

 

[flmmkrz]

That loss was owned by all . Lack of defensive adjustments once Henry found his groove. Offense looked very Shottyesque, big play or bust leaving the defense on the field for way too long. Both units shooting themselves in the foot with penalties that extended or killed drives. 2 players we rely on pulled near no shows, Dk and Dunlap were noticeably quiet. Meyers bricked pat...this was truly a team effort

It's on Pete! How do we look so good last week with the up tempo play, and then we look like the 2020 Hawks running the clock down to the 1 second mark on most plays?

 

[nwHawk]

Felt like Hawks offensive line was getting stonewalled in the run game. Lack of commitment to running allowed Titans to shut down the pass in the second half. Russ and company could not overcome. Game over. Bummer, should have won.
