Game 3: Packers @ Titans - Sunday, Sept 22nd at 12PM

[HarryDoyle]

Jacobs is going to have a long day today.

[adambr2]

Why are you suddenly trying to force it between the tackles down here when it hasn't worked all game?

[HarryDoyle]

Bad play calling on that set of downs.

[adambr2]

That's a win for the Titans. Can't get it all the way down to 1st and goal at the 2 and come away with 3. 

[wOOgiE22]

MLF has been doing a good job calling plays today, but not on that goal to go.  Going to have a hard time running between the tackles today. 

[Strike4]

That’ll help

[adambr2]

Oh boy. Jaire won't be able to get his helmet on for the next month after that. 

[HarveysWBs]

There’s the Will Levis I was promised!

[HarryDoyle]

That was easy pickins for Jaire.

[adambr2]

Are the Vikings going to come back down to earth, or ...?

I thought today against Houston would be their reality check. They were the ones in the division I didn't think we really needed to worry about.

All the more sweeter when we beat them next week.

[HarveysWBs]

The defensive front can stop self-destructing anytime now, thanks.

[adambr2]

Didn't have Vikings up 14 points on Texans and Broncos up 14 points on Tampa after 1 quarter on my bingo card today.

Thought for sure there had to be movement offensively when it looked like several of our guys jumped. But yeah, pre-snap penalties on defense have bitten us twice today and already cost us 4 points. 

[adambr2]

Great job of containing Levis. When I saw him taking off I thought he was getting 8 yards.

[HarryDoyle]

Nice to have more points in one quarter than all of last week.

They definitely opened up the playbook for Willis this week and I like it. Last week they just kind of played to get through 60 minutes and hopefully not lose. They'd never win this game running Jacobs 35 times up the gut. 

[HarveysWBs]

Man, September in the NFL is a lot of noise. Nobody knows who anybody is yet. Health and not being completely buried at 0-3 or 0-4 is the only thing that matters.

Exactly. You had to know the Titans were going to make it a priority to stop Jacobs.

That sack was a drive killer

[adambr2]

Year after year I feel like we see infuriating play calls right on the edge of FG range that take points off the board. 

You have 2nd and 2 on the opposing 40 yard line where you have a good chance to come away with points if you just don't go backwards. 

So you call a play with a deep drop for Willis, he can't get out of the pocket and you end up out of FG range and with a longshot convertible distance on 3rd down.

Just a bad, bad play call at that area of the field. 

[adambr2]

Now that's the pass rush I want to see. 

 

How about a 6 minute drive and a 24-7 halftime lead?

[adambr2]

I'm always kind of flabbergasted by special teams holding/blocking penalties on plays when there isn't even a return. 

[Strike4]

Why are we paying Nixon 18 million/year to NOT return kicks.  That seems a lot to pay a mediocre nickel back

$18 million? That can't be right.
