Titans 30 Bills 29
It's over. I am at a lost for words to describe the feeling of this game. The coaching in the fourth quarter was bad. On third and one, who comes out in the shotgun with an empty backfield. Isn't the point of a pass on 3rd and 1 to surprise the other team. There is no element of surprise when you line up with an empty backfield. Show some confidence in your running back to get 1 yard. These are plays that win games. If Buffalo could drive down and score on this drive then they could ice the game. There was no killer instinct. A TD on that drive ices it and they didn't even try.
Robert Royal needs to be cut. I say this with the utmost sincerity. This guys stupid plays cost the Buffalo Bills the season. It can be argued that his block on the back cost the Bills the opener. Today, Robert Royal took a block in the back at the 5 yard line. It was a pointless play for him to make and instead of 2nd and goal inside the 5 it was 1st and goal from the 17. On the very next play, Lee Evans hit Robert Royal in the end zone on a beautifully designed trick play. Royal caught the ball about 2 yards inside the back of the end zone and in complete laziness took a HUGE step with his left foot and it landed out of bounds. This was the single worst play I have ever seen in my life.
The Bills coaches and players cannot make important split second decision. I do not fault Jauron for going for it at the end of the game. They were out of Lindell's range. The major point is that the Bills were not aware of this fact and looked absolutely confused about what they wanted to do on that 4th down play. On the preceding 3rd and 5, Losman easily could have run for at least 3 yards. Instead he throws it out of bounds stopping the clock and gaining no yardage. He needs to know the situation and run it getting more yards towards a possible field goal and using up some time. Similarly, at the end of the first half, Losman called a timeout with 1:10 left. This was absolutely stupid. All this did was give Vince Young enough time to drive down and score a touchdown. Losman saves that timeout and uses another 30 seconds of clock, the Titans may have been in kneel down mode when they got the ball.
The Bills defense was bad. Henry ripped them for over 5 per carry. Vince Young had over 60 on the ground. Not only that, but Young was having success through the air. Nobody on the Bills defense played well today except maybe Clements and he will be gone next year. The Bills front 7 was terrible and needs some serious work. When was the last time you saw a 36 yard qb scramble on 4th down when there is 10 seconds left in the first half. I don't think anything like that has ever happened before.
Jeff Fisher just straight up out coached Dick Jauron. There is no way you can convince me that the Titans were the more talented team. Were they more prepared? Yes. Did they make fewer stupid decisions? Yes. Were they better with clock management? Yes. The Titans did what they have been doing, letting their opponents lose the football game. The Bills made a decent run but what does that get you? They lost a home game that they should have won. The Bills should have won sounds like a broken record but it is true. That doesn't get you anything however and Tennessee is the team that is right in the middle of the playoff hunt come week 17 and Jeff Fisher deserves coach of the year consideration. It would be a joke if Mangini got it. As far as I am concerned, Jeff Fisher is the best coach in the NFL.

Well, I can't argue with you about Jeff Fisher. I love the way the media has given all the credit for turning the Titans season around to Vince Young. I am a Titans fan, but I was disappointed by the number of stupid penalties my guys racked up. I really though we had given it to the Bills when we got the face mask late in the fourth. Well, sorry for your loss, but good game. You'll get 'em next season.
dear kim leslie,
vince young sucks.
his intelligence is comparable to a piece of wood.
sorry about your kidney stones.
