This was a painful game to watch, wasn't much fun to me.
I did enjoy some things.
- As horrified as I was seeing Kyle Williams out in the flat trying to contain Mariota, you have to love Williams mindset. He had no idea he couldn't unless Mariota ran out of bounds and he was running with all his might like Beebe chasing Leon Lett, if not so likely to work.
-The Taylor/Hogan drive. You wouldn't think you'd get that kind of dazzle from a couple guys you wonder about sometimes. That reverse where Hogan passed to Taylor didn't really work super good, but I loved that play, because if you watched it, Taylor stood there a moment pretending to be confused and even appearing to throw out his hands like "what happened ?" before turning and sprinting with focus for the catch. I loved that play. It came out of nowhere and gave me some hope Roman thinks outside the box.
-When Taylor runs, he doesn't run like a QB. And he has some serious arm and touch when he's on.
- When he has control of himself Hughes is the stuff, and can drop into emergency coverage like an OLB when he has to. Credit to Whaley for getting him, and I'm no Whaley fan.
- They won. We've seen this before and they didn't. But they did. Last drive I was expecting last minute Titans field goal, like a lot of us where. Didn't happen. Made me happy.
- Bills fans there. Give them credit, I heard them.
