  • On a bright note, Childress isn't our coach

    What the hell was he thinking yesterday?
    There were 2 minutes left in the game, down by 13, ball at their own 18, no timeouts, and it's 4th and 13. Sure, a comeback is highly unlikely, but not impossible. What does Childress do? He gives up and punts. Titans kneel out the clock. COWARD! He just broke a cardinal rule of sports. If you still have a chance, you try.
    I hate the Vikings, and should be laughing at that. But, as a sports fan, I am offended by this gutless act.
    Is their any logical reason for this?

      Yes. The Vikings radio announcers were questioning it at the time. It was very strange. Why not go for it? Even if they didn't get the first down, the Titans would have just kneeled on the ball.

          He should be fired.

            That doesn't make any sense. They still need two scores.

                He kept the Titans from running up the score.....

                Net points is a playoff tiebreaker........

                No matter what though Fisher was just going to kneel with the ball.

                Just start making "KEEP CHILDRESS" signs.

                  Onside kick.

                  It some respects it does make sense. Let's say the titans use the least amount of time possible..still going to make it 16 points, a 2 score game with two 2 point conversions. That is almost impossible.

                  On the other hand, if they do get the ball back. A td, onside kick (needed in other scenario as well), and another td tie the game..extra point wins it.

                  Impossible vs. slightly less impossible.

                    Right, but the clock and timeout situation dictates that the Titans are just going to kneel on the ball anyway. So lets just say that somehow gives them time to get the ball back ... they still need to use those few seconds to get all the way down the field, then get an onside and THEN do it all over again?

                    Sounds IMPOSSIBLE to me. Mathematically.

                      Mathematics: Well, i gotta trust him over us. But, like i said...impossible vs. impossible.

                      I think cheese is prolly right.

                        Do you understand the situation? There was under 2 minutes left and the Vikings had 0 timeouts. That means once the Titans fair caught the punt, they could run out the clock by kneeling on the ball. That would have been the case whether the Vikings went for it or punted. It had nothing to do with playoff tiebreakers or giving the Vikings a better chance. He basically sent up the white flag.

                              I'm not disagreeing with that.
