I'm honestly starting to feel bad for all the Titans fans who have gotten their hopes up...

And I remember hearing that Reid admitted that the first game back for Mahomes.....they ran a different offensive scheme to ease him back in after his knee injury.
|
Frank Clark needs to have his shit talking at an all time high in Taylor Lewan’s ear all game. He can’t help but retaliate. That’ll lead to a few easy penalties to halt the Titans offense.
I want to see Clark over celebrate every single sack, TFL, etc right in Lewan’s face. |

One thing you guys may not realize. The chiefs game in nashville was the first game for the tits after malcolm butler went out for the season. They were trying to adjust. Not saying mahomes won't get his yards but i think you'll see tighter coverage this game, especially since adoree jackson has been back.
And forget that "vrabel will have them trying to hurt mahomes" talk. Vrabel is the biggest advocate of player safety we've seen. |
Looks like Titans will be healthy for this one. Jayon Brown practiced today

Derrick Henry will rush for 150 again!? Oh noes!! Patrick Mahomes II will throw for 700 yards and 10 TDs against this bullshit team to lead my favorite sportsball team the Kansas City Chiefs franchise to victory over the Tennessee Tits. |

Haven't slept more than 2 hours each night. The anticipation is unreal.
Last night, felt relaxed, laid down, but couldn't even think about falling asleep. TV on, YouTube app engaged. Watching and rewatching the best AFL/Chiefs videos. To see all those players, my boyhood heroes... and knowing that a new chapter is within our grasp again. Gave up my season tix after 20 years the day Gunthers hand picked kicker shanked the kickoff, costing the Chiefs the AFC West title in OT. I swore I'd never go back until they drafted a GD QB, and fnally they drafted PMII and I returned for the home opener vs the Eagles on 09/17/2017. No way I can sleep. See you in the Gold section. |

Keep dreaming bub. You can get those guys all the experience they want, they haven’t saw a WR corp like this in a long time. Not since the first game. |

Titans and this "all time run game" have been great salting away games in the second half. But it doesn't lend itself to a type of game that puts them ahead. They'll throw early. |

This is the week that having Suggs pays large dividends.
I don’t see Lewan and Conklin pushing him and Clark around with any form of consistency. It’ll be hard set edges when those two are in. |

Can anyone give me a comparable example to this game where the “Titans” of the matchup have won in a playoff game?
Chiefs: all time great QB, good pass defense, elite offensive weapons, home field advantage, better all time head coach, great pass protection OL Titans: journeyman QB, good run defense, elite RB, road team, |
Giants over 16-0 Pats I guess

Titans have scored on 24.2% of the drives in the first quarter. That’s last in the league.
The NFL average is 36.9%. The Chiefs have scored on 59.8% of the drives in the first quarter. That’s first in the league. |

Then again, they also think that Tannehill is a better QB than Mahomes, so that tells you something . . . |

I dont think any titans fan would say that mahomes is not a good quarterback. Nor would any titans fan think the chefs will not score a few points.
I suppose its the way things have went giving us some confidence. The road the titans have travelled is much more impressive. You guys barely beat the texans |

And your definition of "barely" might need tweaking. We beat HOU by 20 points. Scored 51 points in under 40 minutes. It would take the Titans 3 entire games to score 51 points. |

Of course it is! You’re a 9-7 team that squeaked into the playoffs. You are the #6 seed. Of course the road you have to travel would be tougher than the Chiefs. That’s the result of your season. And props to your team for beating the Pats and Ravens. Those are solid wins. If only there was another team in the NFL this year that could do that . . . . . . oh, wait. Yeah, we’ll see you on Sunday. |

The team that this Titans team reminds me of will creep many of you out. To me, they're like the 2001 Pats.
Brady was a first-year starter, but wasn't the GOAT. He was a smart game manager that didn't make mistakes and didn't choke under pressure. They had a big plowhorse back in Antowain Smith, who was good, but not really close to Derrick Henry. They ranked below league average on both offense (17th) and defense (24th) in yards allowed but ranked 6th in both points allowed and points scored. This Titans team ranks 12th in offensive yards and 21st in yards allowed. However, they rank 10th in points scored and 12th in points allowed. Like the 2001 Pats, they're better than the sum of their parts. They're the kind of team that "finds a way to win" like the 2001 Pats, as we saw in the Titans win over KC in week 10 that included creating fumbles and big plays on special teams. Veteran Tannehill is better than first-year starter Brady, with a passer rating of 117.4 compared to 86.5 for Brady. However, we need to remember that passing stats are up since 2001 with rule changes that protect both QBs and defenseless receivers. If we look to AV (average value) ratings, Tannehill was an 11 in 2019 while Brady was a 12 in 2001. AV is football's equivalent to WAR (wins above replacement) in baseball, in that they attempt to measure the relative value of players regardless of position. Strangely enough, both Antowain Smith and Derrick Henry had AVs of 12 in these seasons, even though it's clear Henry is a much more dominant back. Perhaps this is due to the increase of spread offenses leading to lighter boxes and better YPC in today's game. The scary part is that the 2001 Pats beat the highest-powered offense of their day: "The Greatest Show on Turf" Rams. All that being said, those Rams lost because their HC Mike Martz was a dumbass. The 2001 Pats had no answer for Marshall Faulk, but Martz kept trying to win with his deep passing game. If he had kept feeding Faulk in both the running and short passing game, the Rams would have torched the Pats. I don't think Andy Reid will be that stupid. Certainly, the Chiefs don't have the same coaching gap as the Rams did vs. the 2001 Pats. Andy Reid, on his worst day, will not be outcoached by Mike Vrabel anywhere close to the degree Mike Martz was outsmarted by Bill Belichick. |

Another interesting comparison is the 1990 Chiefs for the 2019 Titans.
These teams are strikingly similar on offense. The 1990 Chiefs had 36-year-old veteran castoff Steve DeBerg who had a career year with 24 TDs and 4 Ints. He torched teams with deep passes off play action fakes due to KC's strong running game. The real similarity is the physical dominance of the O line and running backs. The 1990 Chiefs wore defenses down with the two-headed monster of Christian Okoye and Barry Word. They had 1800 plus yards between them rushing, but nothing much catching the ball out of the backfield. If you look at total yards from scrimmage, their production is very close to Derrick Henry's in 2019. Of course, that 1990 Chiefs team had a significantly better D. The 1990 Chiefs were 16th in yards allowed, but 1st overall in turnovers and points allowed. That team put QBs on their ass. Derrick had 20 sacks, Neil Smith 9.5, Dan Saleamua had 7.0 from the NT spot, with Bill Mass adding 5.5 from DE. Oh yeah, that front was backed up by the Albert Lewis, Kevin Ross, Deron Cherry secondary. BTW the 1990 Chiefs lost in Miami to HOF QB Dan Marino. |

I love Kurt Warner. Mahomes is significantly better than 2001 Kurt Warner and it’s not close. Obviously, it’s hard to top prime Holt/Bruce/Faulk but our WR group ain’t shabby. TE? Hahaha. Defense kinda a push. Coaching, not close. I point all that out to say this, it doesn’t matter what the Titans remind you of, they’re not stopping this offense. They best score 30 if they even want to be close to being in the game late. Brady and Antwaan Smith couldn’t score 30 and the Tits won’t either. |

It just doesn't matter what the Titans do.
They could score 35 in this game. Mahomes will score 36. That's it. That's what's happening. He won't let them outscore him unless they get the ball last. We are about to witness greatness. |
