head coach Vic Fangio left Monday's Week 1 opener with a lo s and two timeouts still in his pocket. Denver Dan Hamhuis Men Jersey couldn't hold on to a one-point lead in the final minutes of the opener as the marched down the field on an 83-yard drive that culminated in a 25-yard field goal hit by veteran , giving Tenne see the 16-14 lead (and eventual final score) with just 17 seconds remaining.That proved to be too little time on the clock for to march Denver's offense from their Mike Modano Women Jersey own 25-yard line all the way down the field into field goal territory. That could have been different, however, if Fangio had elected to use his timeouts in the midst of Tenne see's eventual game-winning drive to preserve clock. The only time Fangio actually deployed a timeout was just prior to the final play of the night: an incomplete pa s by Lock."It was two-fold there," Fangio on the Titans final drive, via . "One, their field goal kicker had obviously been having his problems so I didn't want to extend the drive to where they could get closer. And we would have used a timeout but we got the running back out of bounds, and we would have used the second timeout, but they threw an incompletion."While Fangio is correct that Gostkowski was struggling mightily in this game (mi Tyler Pitlick Jersey sed his first three field goals prior to the game-winner), there were still a number of opportunities for Fangio to use one of the three timeouts that he still had at his disposal, particularly after the two-minute warning and after Tenne see reached the red zone. With 1:33 on the clock, Titans running back took a second-and-4 run to the Broncos 16. The clock was at the 1:28 mark at the time that play Mike Modano Kids Jersey ended and Tenne see snapped the ball again with 49 seconds to go."After Henry got that 13 yard play, I should've called timeout there," Fangio later admitted to on Monday. "I mi sed that one."After that play, Henry rushed it again and Titans head coach Mike Vrabel called a timeout with 30 seconds to play before the two clock stoppages occurred that Fangio mentioned to reporters Sunday night. Jamie Benn Women Jersey That instance alone -- along with a few others in the Titans final drive -- could have given Denver's offense a puncher's chance at setting up its own game-winning field goal try, but instead, begin the year 0-1. Of course, the Broncos have 15 more games on the deck to recover, but that initial lo s does certainly sting out of the gate.
