Titans Poor Coaching
Several things irritating me about the first set of Divisional Playoff games. The first thing that annoys is my 0-2 picks. Went Titans and Panthers. Sure looks stupid today. But not as stupid as that coaching and officiating in that Titans loss. That no-call delay of game that should have been called on the Ravens, during their game-winning FG drive was huge. Flacco let the clock run out on a 3rd and 2, at his own 32...but hit Heap for a 23 yard gain. The biggest play of the game. Should have been 3rd and 7, at their own 27... with a 3rd down conversion number at that point of 2-11.
Poor coaching did in the Titans and their defense too. Thought this Jim Schwartz was supposed to be smart. And didn't his secondary coach Check Cecil play at this level?
It was the biggest play of the season for the Titans. A minute to play in a 10-10 game. Ravens faced a 3/9 at the Titans 33. Stover was looking at a FG attempt of over 50 yards. The season is on the line. The time is now. Got to stop'm and force the long, low-percentage FG attempt.
Can't understand why Schwartz & Cecil had CB Nick Harper playing off coverage on Clayton. Harper lined up 8 yards off and backpeddled in a zone. Stupid. Dumb. No idea what they were thinking. Deserved to lose.
Flaaco saw the off coverage pre-snap, gained confidence in the play call at that point, and then threw a nice, uninhibited, NFL QB staple out route for an 8 yard gain. A route he's thrown 1,000 times this season. The easiest throw he could have faced in that situation. No problem and thanks for the bonehead coverage call.
Stover then trotted out and nailed the 43 yard FG for the win.
Schwartz & Cecil should have had Harper up in Clayton's space. Tighter coverage. Getting in Flaaco's head (if pre-snap he sees tight coverage on Clayton, he might have to go elsewhere...he's doubting where to go with the ball). By the way, on the opposite side of the field, the Titans CB had bump coverage.
Fisher has some poor attitudes he needs to cut out too. What was up with WR Justin McCareins pouting on the bench? Cut the guy loose. And please find a few more playmakers. Lose Chris Johnson and they are dead in the water.
And enough of this about Flaaco being the 1st rookie QB to "win 2 playoff games." The Ravens won two playoff games, not Flaaco. And the Ravens won the 2 playoff games because they won the TO battle 7-0.
