I get where you are coming from, but that was an entire team effort with regards to contributing to that loss.

Offense for drops (Hill, Watkins come to mind) and way too many penalties.

I think the D isn't necessarily blameless. But yeah, the O deserves some of the L. And ST can **** right off. |

No.
You can't give up almost 30 points to a Ryan Tannehill-led offense. |

The defense played well at times however when it absolutely could not fail, it did. I place the blame on the entire team. The defense got a stop with less than two minutes remaining and the offense needed a single first down. How many times this year has the opposing team been in this situation? Did the opposing team rely on the defense?

The fact that once again the defense was gashed on the ground for big yards means they deserve plenty of blame. Derrick Henry nearly averaged a 1st down every time he touched the ball and that’s just unacceptable. Additionally, the Titans last 4 play scoring drive and two point conversion looked far too easy.
So, defense is still ass and Andy is still Andy. Nothing more. |

Had the lead with 1:43 left....defense shit the bed. It is one thing if they played well and the other team just makes a spectacular play (i.e. Rodgers in the GB game), but it is another thing to make the Tits offense look like the 1999 Rams.

Skip Bayless finally gets his turn to talk, and to the surprise of no one, takes the opposite stance.
Let's watch. |

The defense failed at the most critical points. And it failed spectacularly to a Ryan Tannehill-led offense. These dudes are clearly afraid of Derrick Henry, too.
The offense didn’t come away with as many points as you’d hope in the first half, but penalties and injuries played a big role. Even though they didn’t light up the scoreboard, we probably held the ball for a solid 80% of that first half. Then the defense came out in the second half and immediately shit the bed. By the middle of the third quarter it looked like these dudes had been worn down having played 80 snaps. It was ugly. If I’m assigning blame percentages, I’d probably give an equal 25% to Damien’s fumble, the defense as a whole, Reid calling anything but a downhill run on 3rd and 2 to ice the game, and special teams as a whole. This was a near-complete pants-shitting. It took every phase except the passing game to meltdown in order for the Titans to eke out that win. |

Honestly I want Blake Bell drawn and quartered. Stupid penalties, (15 yard crack back block in the 1st quarter on the TD) he is the reason the damn FG was blocked. Unexplainably the 3rd down call at the end of the game was a screen to him that he couldn't get open on (dumb play Andy).
He also missed the block on the QB sneak that got Mahomes injured. Dude is worthless at best and a liability at minimum, Harris was a better player. |

I wanted to throw the remote through the TV every time Romo said that the Chiefs defense was worn out.
They were on the field for like THIRTEEN ****ING PLAYS in the first half. Tennessee made adjustments, Spags didn’t. Simple as that. |

First, I like the OP; makes a lot of sense.
At 1:42, the Chiefs defense had just finished forcing the Titans to turn the ball over on downs. That's doing their job, period. Late in the game, after getting gashed a couple times, they stood up and forced a stop. You couldn't ask for more in that moment, and they delivered. That should've been the last time they saw the field. The offense came out and got the ball down to the Titans 24-yard line. On 3rd down and 2, the Titans still had a TO to burn, so all we had to do was anything that would force them to burn that last TO. The offense forced them to take their last TO, but lost 5 yards, so the ball was on the 29-yard line. Creating a 46-yard FG situation. A chip shot for Butker, who's been something like 86% inside 47 yards. All is well, up to that point. Remember, the Titans had only scored 3 TDs off on their possessions out of 9 total. The odds are 66% that they can't drive the field and score a TD. Then the botched snap/intentional grounding thing happens. So not only do we not go up by 8 points, but we also give away an extra 10 yards due to penalty. I don't like throwing individual players/coaches under the bus, but when we look at this purely objectively, Winchester really screwed up snapping that ball early. If he doesn't, and Butker kicks successfully, the odds are 66% that our defense stops them on their ensuing drive. Then later, the Titans perfectly time the snap on our last FG attempt, and block it. That has to be a coaching gaffe if they can predict when we're going to snap it. So, at least for yesterday, IMO, the loss is more on ST than it is on the defense. |
