Prevent O, Prevent D = you lose.

GOD i hate this STUPID conservatism. it cost the Gators a win last night and now Tennessee is trying the same thing. if they do that again. eerrrrr.

ok, Tennessee was up by 9 and they decided to try and "RUN" Clock, apparently these morons think that running 3 running plays = RUnning clock. It seems to me that you would want to get the 1st DOWN as your first priority, but not these morons.

then they play PREVENT D. they are going to back off and let gannon pick them to death and guess what, HE DOES and they score a TD.

What do you know, they decide that the RUN the clock out thing doesn't work. Hallelujah, mb they see the light.

LOL - a tad frustrated at the play calling are you? Prevent D is rarely going to prevent a whole lot.

 

[Francodman]

you should be in the business.

ya, I just don't get it. If you've had success for a while, why completely abandon it? Fortunately fisher got more aggressive offensively, scored a FG and won. but it was much closer than it needed to be.

prevent D sucks big time ass. its the reason the oilers gave up the biggest come back in nfl history

Well the Titans' running game tonight wasn't doing that well... and I guess they didnt wanna risk an INT so they just tried to run down the clock...

McNair only threw 1 INT the WHOLE game and that was on a TIP.

If they stayed with the short passing game, they were NOT very likely to thru and INT.

the fact that they WEREN'T running the ball very well should have convinced them NOT to try and run the clock down.

3 and out is NOT the best way to keep their opponents Offense off the field.
