Matt Hasselbeck on the Last Play of the Game

I wasn't listening to the Titans Radio call of the game yesterday, but apparently Mike Keith blamed the last interception on the last play on Kenny Britt. Either way, it wasn't a very good decision by Matt Hasselbeck to make that throw.
While there are some guys who wouldn't step up and take the blame for the play, Hasselbeck did what a leader does and put it all on his shoulders:
"I got a little greedy. That’s exactly what happened. It was a matchup situation and the play that was called, I felt, could end the game. It didn’t go down, obviously, like I envisioned but Rob is a kicker with a big leg and there wasn’t a lot of time left. The smarter play would have been probably to hit Chris (Johnson), hopefully spike it, and give our field goal team a chance."
That is what you want your quarterback to say. At the end of the day, it is just one game. If they can circle the wagons and knock off the Ravens next week this will all be a distant memory.

Welp.
Learn from your mistakes and move on, I guess.
"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

The offense better pull their head out of their butts
If they plan on beating the Ravens. We just lost to a not so good team, now we are playing a great team.
GO TITANS!!!

That last play was about 75% Hasselhoff, 25% on Britt...
Britt could have made a better play on the ball to at least knock it away from the safety… but Hasselhoff should have never thrown it there, like he said… he got greedy. He should have dumped it to CJ, take the spike and let Robby-B. take a shot at another field goal.
Oh well, he was trying to make a big play… at least he was trying.

Last time KFC threw something like that Britt turned it into a 80 yard touchdown....

ironically
if he had floated that dead duck a little higher, i have little doubt Briit would have brought it home. it was a terrible throw, but maybe not quite terrible enough?

I like the way Hasselbeck owned up to his decision...
Had that ball been a few yards to the left, we are talking about a Titans win… I’m still excited about Matt being our QB and I think he brings a lot to this team! The best thing about this situation we have now, is we have leadership in Matt that is willing and accepting of his responsibility… Imagine if this had happened with the “other” QB we used to have… the meltdown would have been awful… now it is just a mistake and the team will move forward, hopefully for the better!
We like the way the QB makes mistakes...
Super!. Come on folk, the guy looked terrible for a lot of the game, and I am willing to give this guy a couple of weeks, but he was garbage. He made some nice throws on check downs I suppose, but really he blew yesterday.
He also almost got KB killed on his flip pass, for some reason the safety pulled a griff, and missed Britt entirely.

Who said anything about liking the mistakes?
And how do expect a QB with NO running game to be effective? Sure Matt didn’t look good yesterday, but how many drops were there? You can call his performance garbage if you want, but I’ll take that performance over what KC and VY brought to the table any day!!!

What grounds do you have for calling it a garbage performance?

If we play better on offense, we have a chance to win Sunday.
A very slim chance …..

Throwing off his back foot short and too the inside.
The decision to throw to Britt in that coverage wasn’t a bad call. It was throwing off his back foot with not muscle in it and floating it to the inside. In that situation, you throw that ball over the top and to the outside shoulder. That way, the only guy that can make a play on it is your guy. Hass looked tentative. Thinking too much and not quite comfortable in the offense yet. He’ll get there.
