Perfect thread for this post, thanks!

Yip, and this is why I was trying to help them manage their expectations. We know exactly what they're getting into...

Matt "Midnight Hour" Moore is sick. We're going to lose.

Hollister wouldn't play even if he was healthy.

Half true. We do not blitz much. It is more about wierd looks and who we send and when than blitzing that works for us. You are 100% right that our pass rush is nothing special. We have said it all year on our board. The only guy who has been good as year is Landry and he hasnt had a sack in 4 weeks I believe.

Which half isn't true then?

curious how this is moving the goalposts...
I corrected the other titans fan. And said our redzone d was crap before the playoffs where it has been good but that is only 2 games. Then you compaired tanny and henry to your old scat back and alex smith?

We all know that is a joke. I wont even get into the running backs but saying tanny is anything like Smith is past laughable. Tanny is averaging over 9 yarda a attempt. That is the opposite of Smith even if they are both game managers.

Cameron Wake going down has done a number on Landry. He's a nice technical rusher (loved him out of BC) but he's not dynamic or explosive enough to be the center of attention and still do damage without a viable complementary pass rusher.

Casey's your only shot. He needs to have the game of his life and absolutely rape faces on the interior. If he can turn back the clock to his early/mid 20s when he was capable of 8-10 sack seasons, he can be the monkey in the wrench, so to speak...

The we need 2 blitz part. We don't generate much more if we send four or six. We tend 2 do better sending four. Like I said our pressure comes from scheme not blitzing.

Hmm. Against our depleted OL (at one point 4/5 starters were injured/not on the field. We got two back before the end of the game) in the regular season match-up, your DL only manged to sack Pat twice.

Against the Patriots your DL managed ZERO sacks.

Unlikely your down four can generate enough pressure to make Pat miss a bunch of throws.

Tannehill has a strong Alex Smith smell, circa 2017, when he leaned on a strong running game led by the NFL leading rusher and a dynamic playmaking receiver to pump up his YPA (8.6 that year).

Jamaal Charles was a lot more than a scat back in 2013. He was a dynamic dual threat RB who averaged 5 YPC while piling up 1900 total yards from scrimmage and 19 TDs. He was legit great that year.

Let me try this again. I am not saying our pass rush is good. All I am saying is that we are as good with 4 guys as if we were sending more. Our pressure comes from confusion. Not saying it will work or wont. Just that us sending 5, 6 or even 7 guys is not how we do it most of the time.

Absolutely loved the end of Travis Kelce's interview today.

" Just gettin' (Andy to the Super Bowl) isn't the goal. Winning this thing for him is. I'll leave it at that."

*mike drop*

:clap:

I am not saying tanny is a game breaker but he is alex with a big arm at worst. And charles was a great all around back but he is not even near as scary as Henry. Henry might not be the all around back but he decimates and demoralized teams for half the year. Charles got it done no doubt. But no1 thought he would single handedly beat them.

Side note: sorry about the mass of posts in a row by me. Was just catching up to the stuff since I went to work. Don't know you forums stance on this. In the future I will put multiple quotes and responses in one comment ifnthat is how you prefer it. Just let me know.

They won't throw the ball anyway.

They'll be running Henry down by 3 scores in the 4th.

Is Henry more physically imposing? Sure.

Charles was a terrifying back to face, though. Track speed with great patience and the ability to take any touch the distance. Huge playmaker/gamebreaker.

He single-handedly beat a lot of teams over the prime of his career, including that 2013 season.

Tannehill has more arm than Smith. Won't argue that. But the way they play and are set up by the things around them and can make some plays with their feet is similar.

Hope for your sake your team is smarter about what it pays a QB of that general type than the Chiefs were.

Smith had similar numbers in 2017... His average actually went up in the playoffs... Tanny is only averaging 50% completions with 5.5 per reception in the last two playoff games... This with Henry going off for 180+ in both games.

Most passes to start a season without throwing an interception (287, 2017) - NFL Record

Gotcha.

This man just called Jamaal Charles a scatback.

Can we ****ing Romper this idea? My God.

This post might age like milk but more I look into this match up this has all the makings of a routine walk in the park win for the Chiefs. Almost a boring let down for the neutrals watching.

Facts. And shit we didn’t even lose to an elite QB that year in the playoffs. Tightens house money runs out Sunday.

Imagine thinking Tannehill is better than prime Smith LMAO

He isn’t. The dude has thrown 29 passes in two playoff games.

I don't think it will be a walk in the park. At least initially I think it'll be pretty hard-fought. They're going to throw body blows; we're gonna throw a lot of lightning combos. A football version of Ali vs. Foreman maybe. Should be pretty interesting.

They’re going to try and punish our offense and go for the strip every time.

If the same defense that played the Ravens shows up at Arrowhead wearing Tightens uniforms Sunday.... Patrick is gonna go ham. Tits secondary looked pretty bad and got lucky Lamar couldn’t capitalize. So ready for this game!

Tennessee was 12th in points per game allowed this season.

The Chiefs were 7th in that category.

He was a scat back. That is not a insult. I know he averaged 5ypc over his career and was a great receiving back. But that dosn't change the style he played. I was just saying that Henry is different type of animal. It is like comparing a cheetah to a rhino.

Ready to unleash on that Tennessee 24th ranked pass defense...

You clearly don’t know what a scat back is.

Take 5 minutes to go YouTube Jamaal Charles vs. the Seahawks, 2014. Then get back to us. Or don’t, that’d be great too.

Charles is a scat back? Go **** yourself.

Listening to all the pundits today it seems a lot of them are picking the Titans.

Don't turn it over
Don't give short fields

It's what the Titans have had the last 2 games.

In the Ravens game the Titans scored 1 time when they had to drive the field. Their other 3 scores came on fields that started inside the 50.

They had to punt every time they had to drive the field except once.

GOAT receiver group.

By the same token the Pats game was a ****ing punt fest. If the Pats had any kind of an offense whatsoever they would have lit up the Titans.

The fact is though a few of us, me included, saw the Ttians beating both the Pats and Ravens. The Pats have shit for offense and the Ravens rested their starters too long and it showed. Coupled with just terrible coaching decisions.

I mean, would you call current Christian mccaffery a scat back?

What is your definition of a scat back? To me it is smaller faster back who is most effective in space or catching the ball. Like I said that was not a insult in any way. Sure he could run up the middle but that wasn't his best asset. He is like McCoy or Sanders. I think this is us having different definitions more than a disagreement.

Kelce is like the older brother of the group and is trying to get his younger brothers to follow his lead

I almost put him on my list I just made. He is right there on the edge. Again to me it is not a insult but a style.

scat backs for me are like Barry Sanders, Tyreek Hill, etc...... that style.....water bugs basically

WTF does it matter if JC was a scatback or not? seriously?

How does this Tits fan still have green rep??

EDIT : there we go. Second Tits fan I've turned red

I would call cj2k a scat back as well. Sure he ran inside the numbers but that wasn't his game. It just might be my idea of the term but I did not mean to offend.

It’s wild everyone picking the Titans.

I am so pumped up for this game. It is all I have been thinking about. It feels like all those haunting memories from years of being a season ticket holder, standing at Arrowhead in horrible weather, only to leave disapointed- are about to be erased forever. This team energizes my soul and makes me happy.

Because I am calm collected and talk football. You all might not agree with me but I am just stating what I think. I have admitted my teams faults and been fine saying good things about your team. I may be back in the red now but I am bouncing between the two because I am not a troll and it seems only the overly sensitive fans here dislike me.

So go and bash me all you want, idc. Being accepted by the rational people here and not the over the top homers who think me saying your running back was in the same mold as running backs like barry sanders and not Henry is fine by me.

Curious who have seen pick the titans? I have seen nate, skip and one other I can not remember. It had been like 95% chiefs from what I have seen.

Sorry if you are not talking about "experts".

After the last game, Tennessee is going to double Kelce. Everyone has to double or bracket Hill. That leaves Watkins as the man to step up this time.

Stop the run early with a 5-man Dline so our offense has a chance to get a lead. That will put pressure on the Titans to throw the ball more.

I would be running a lot of 3 WR sets. If they do what you say then you have Mecole burning deep, Watkins 1-1 over the middle and Willams out of the backfield.


Good luck.

GTFO our forums you red neck cow ****ing piece of shit. I hope your RB gets aids.

ROFL

I am from miami if you can find a cow there you brought it... I can guarantee you are more redneck than anyone from where I grew up.

Edit: what is wrong with some of you? When I first got here you were all nice and wanted to talk and now it is nothing but trying to attack non kc fans... I understand disagreement but this is just getting to a point of stupidity for a few of you.

No team is more battle tested than this KC bunch and they’ve fought their ass off to get back in this position, at damn near full strength. They aren’t going to be denied. Tennessee is merely in their way right now, and that’s too bad for the Titans.

I’m ready to ****in’ roll right now.

Are you ****ing serious? Go root for them then chicken little. :rolleyes:

Most of my news comes from twitter, and it’s possible most of the tweets or retweet’s are just to get people fired up.

How the **** did you decide to be a ****ing Titans fan?? And why?

Considering his beliefs he might literally think the sky is falling

Von Miller picked the Titans to win the whole thing.

He said the Chiefs have no cons but “always find a way to lose it.”

Derrick Henry? More like Diarrhea Horny!!!!

Charles a scatback ROFL You realize that makes everything you have posted mean jack shit, right??

wow - those boys are locked in

Ahh. Well he’s right to some extent... for now.

But at least they always find a way to beat the Broncos. Usually not very challenging but we’ll take it any way we can.

Sour grapes.

Pretty confident that had we won the coin toss...

We gotta win this game. We just have to.

So did Terrell Davis LOL ..What would one expect from donk turds.

LOL

Someone remind him that that was the Broncos for several years before January 1998

I have good news

The Chiefs are reasonable. If he asks nicely, I'm sure we'd give his soul back to him so he can use more reasonable judgment.

I can’t remember the last time I noticed Von Miller in a Chiefs/Donk game.

If Andy Reid finds a way to lose with this team he needs to ****ing take a long look in the mirror.

HOF QB
HOF TE
Maybe a HOF WR
two #1 Wr when healthy and they are
Decent Defense
Solid ST

What more can you ****ing want? Most coaches don't have that much to work with.

The Denver Broncos are basically the Washington Generals to the Chiefs' Harlem Globetrotters. Von Miller represents the Generals' best player who acts as a foil to Meadowlark Lemon, but can never even get going to be a reasonable antagonist.

His only purpose is to get thwarted every time a spectacular play happens. That's all he's good for and that's all he'll ever be good for unless he somehow joins us.

Just finished watching most of the first half of the previous Titans game. Man, the Chiefs could have been up 21-0. 2nd drive had to settle for a field goal because of 2 huge penalties, both caused by Erving. 3rd drive, Tyreek gets overthrown on a bomb that was half a yard overthrown and would have been a TD - next snap Watkins drops a 3rd down throw that would have kept the drive going.

Starting Oline was Erving, Rankin, Reiter, Wylie, Schwartz, and still Mahomes generally had time to throw.

EDIT: also, the Titans ran the exact same shot play with Khalif Raymond that they get the Ravens for a touchdown last week. Their offense looks pretty anemic.

Yes. The first game was pretty much dominated by a somewhat skittish and immobile Mahomes behind an o-line that shouldn’t be starting college football games. Last week Mahomes’s pocket awareness was probably the best I’ve seen all year. Our pass protection was phenomenal and he was stepping up in the pocket and delivering dimes. The first game we had our way with them and, per the usual script when we play the Titans, we shot ourselves in the foot. I understand games aren’t played on paper, but the Chiefs are the better team and it isn’t particularly close. Same could be said for Baltimore and look what happened to them. As Ragland said this week, just do your job and we should be fine.

I anticipate a ton of blitzing by the Tits. They cannot generate consistent pressure without doing so. I can’t imagine they just sit back and let Mahomes shred them the entire game as that will not play out well for them. And after last week’s game, teams cannot sleep on Mahomes’s ability to escape the pocket and run. He will take that opportunity if teams are playing man coverage, leaving a huge chunk of the field wide open. The Tits want you to run the ball, that’s where their defense is built to win. When you have an elite QB who can sling the ball anywhere on the field, that’s what will make them piss down their leg.

If Andy calls what I think he's going to call, the Chiefs will score four TDs in the first half. Maybe 5. He's not going to call many runs. Less than 10 for sure. He's going to try to bury the Titans in points early, and force them to throw the ball a lot early. Take Henry away by using their running game against them. Make Vrabel get into a shoot-out with us.

If Andy can hang a 20+ point lead on the Titans in the first half, I don't think the Titans have the firepower to keep up.

Good morning chiefs fans. For what its worth, i'm beyond happy that whoever represents the afc in the super bowl will be there for the first time in many years. Hope this afc championship is one to remember

You only have one good morning beyond this. Use it wisely.

I was thinking something similar. Tomorrow is the last day of the season for one of us.
