It took some nuts to throw long on 3rd and 4.

I admittedly held my breath when he let it go, but it showed me they didn't just want to convert. It was a game ender.

I remember Payton had a habit of being too conservative in those situations, but you win games by being aggressive.

Tennessee DB should have tackled Shaheed again.

They did it on the prior drive and PI wasn't called. We brush up against a WR on their final FG drive and PI was called on us.

Carr throws a gorgeous deep ball so I'm sure there was a ton of confidence. We also know we wouldn't get the PI call in that situation so a completion was paramount.

I enjoy aggressive football.

That throw gave me some hope for DA and Carmichael. I’d much rather lose being aggressive than the conservative chickenshit they were doing last year.

It was one of those calls that makes Carr and coaches look great when it works out, and gets criticized to no end if it doesn’t.

I’m one that’s if the opinion that you try to win the game when you get the chance. If it doesn’t work and you get beat, so be it. At least you didn’t hold anything back and lose anyway for being conservative.

Carmichael 1000% calls a run and we punt in that situation last year.

DA basically admitted in his presser he has nothing to do with the O on game day. Carmichael is going to be aggressive. Saying that, DA is an aggressive D coach, I don't think he's the boring, ball control, cloud of dust coach, many here think.

Actually, I remember Paytonon a
Few occasions being too “”aggressive. Calling a double reverse at midfield when we should have had the game locked up, for example.

One of my coworkers watching the game in our office lets out a long noooo and ended it with a yes.

I didn’t think so, they had out so the clock was going to stop either way.

They should send Vrabel a thank you card. Kicking a FG down by 4? I'm not buying the excuses. He had money on the +3. Just like another Titans coach used to do.
