Oh I know, and fortunate for us he is not "initially explosive" until 15-20yds downfield.

They don't need extra but we don't need to be making sure they get some either is my point.;)

These State Farm commercials suck ass.

You would think.:thumb:

He's not wrong....

Wait till Jake Fromm is drafted....

If you want to talk about bulletin board material....

What about all the talk that this Chiefs defense can’t stop Henry?

What about all the talk about how this team chokes in the playoffs?

What about all the talk about how Reid can never win the big game?

Like I said, Henry and their o-line doesn't need any extra motivation 'given' to them by us.

I assure you Andy has had a talk with him.;)

I hope the Titans are as overconfident as you are. I hope they think this is the same team they got lucky against in week 10. I hope they utilize the exact same game plan.

Are the Titans saying this or the sports press ?:hmmm: I don't hear the Titans doing any of this but I don't keep up with personal smack talk like you guys do so maybe I am wrong.:shrug:

No he is not BUT "perception is reality" for some people and IF their perception sees this as further motivation well..........

Well Kevin Byard kinda threw what seemed like shade at Mahomes when he said “I wouldn’t call him Deshaun Watson”, regardless of what other context he may left out... it sounded just how it reads.

Oh bullshit. Need to change your name to dickshrink.

Its not bulletin board material if its true. Especially if the other team isnt actually saying it, its just been proven over time.
Is andy reid on the hotseat if the chiefs lose tomorrow?

Well I assure all males going to the game tomorrow in that "feels like" 6 degree weather 'will' have a shrunken cock tomorrow for sure until after the game is over. Then depending on who executes better, that team and fan base will be letting their "johnson drag the ground" afterwards.:p

Lot of talk from our guys.

But, hey, as long as they back it up on Sunday, it doesn’t matter.


Just better take care of business or they gonna be hearing about it all off-season.

Nah, that's not anything personal talking about anybody specifically on our team. It's just his confidence coming through after a big win. Nothing wrong with that.:shrug:

It all makes ****ing sense now....

GTFO Knomo

Either dumbass Kno-Mo or his backwoods, inbred, Tennessee Cousin.

When people like Adam Teicher write shit like this our guys should show some confidence and a little cockiness.

Chiefs sound drained at mere prospect of facing Derrick Henry again

Was he talking about comparing speed? Because if he was Watson is faster than Pat. Pat is by far more a student of the game reading defenses with a much more accurate and stronger arm with better athleticism passing on the run than Watson for sure.

I have grown to dislike Adam Teicher. His Chief hating, alarmist writing style is such a bore. He should move on with Fat Brooke.

This is a heads up quote for the referees to be on the look out.;)

What good has that speed done for Watson- he is one of the most sacked QB's in the NFL. Mahomes is elusive and rarely takes a sack.

Adam "reverse psychology" Teicher, correct ?:D

You’re such a pussy Knowmo

I wouldn’t call him DeShaun Watson, either. Mahomes is better.

You are missing the point. I am just comparing apples to apples i.e. to speed alone here. Say if they were to run the 40. Everything else I said about Pat being better than Deshaun at, references your points about being elusive in the pocket when I referenced him being more athletic passing on the run and reading defenses.

Watson? I heard he was the Michael Jordan of Football. LOL

o j o M e s r e v e R

No, I get it.

I’m the one who originally posted the Teicher ‘article’ in the Derrick Henry bullshit hype thread.

I have no problem with what any of them said. But they just need to make sure and back up what they’re saying on the field.

Otherwise, they better be prepared for the blowback afterwards.

IIRC, someone said it's just like the donx cheating bs..line goes one direction, grabs hold of the pads, so when the RB cuts back, you can't break free.

Tannehill has been playing out of his mind for sure. He's the X-Factor for Tennessee. Chiefs secondary needs to be ready for play action deep ball. He throws an accurate deep ball.

Pretty much !!;)

Post season #'s

Mahomes- 5 TD's per game.

Yeah....let's just say, for laughs, that the cold impacts the passing game. If Mahomes is impacted by it, then wouldn't it stand to reason that Tannehill will be more impacted by it....and the Titan's pass game (lol!) more ineffective? Wouldn't that also allow more Chief defenders closer to the line of scrimmage to stop Henry?

I think all of the weather stuff is vastly overrated....short of it being a blizzard with 20mph+ or more gusts of winds, the cold in and of itself will be minor. My understanding is that it will be cold, but clear and sunny....passing will be fine. Chiefs have been playing in it, practicing in it, and are totally used to it by now....

Garropolo greater than Rodgers and Tannehill greater than Mahomes.

Looks like we will have a "State Farm SB Bowl" !!:thumb::thumb::thumb:

2018: our defense needs more cockiness and swagger!!

2019-2020: “no, not like that”

The Royals rode swagger like this despite getting beaned repeatedly to start 2015 and rode it to a title. This D has rode it to a much stronger season in 2019-2020, I see no reason to stop it now.

What's interesting with Tannehill's stats is that he doesn't grade very well in the "QBR" metric, despite an extremely high passer rating and TD to INT ratio. I guess the QBR metric is accounting for the fact a lot of his throws are dependent on the Titans run game. Play action is a lot easier than dropping back and throwing when the defense knows what is coming. They have him graded at 62/100 for the season. That's good, but it's not MVP level which is usually around 75.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/qbr/_/seasontype/2

Every year, there's generally one game you win and one game you lose that you shouldn't (and I don't mean like this year's Colts game....we were outplayed and were not the better team that day, and we lost).

This year, I believe the Lions game was our "win" game: we (at best) played even with them, but we probably should have lost that game (thank goodness for Pat!)

The Titans game was our "lose" game....it took a ton of flukey things to happen for that loss to occur (as has been noted numerous times already). I get that the Titans made some of those things happen, but to think that the Chiefs aren't shoring those things up for the past week is just ridiculous.

I said earlier, the Titans are not very innovative in their regular offense, and I expect them to pull out a ton of trick plays early, because otherwise they are Henry, Henry, Henry. If Chiefs stay disciplined, they will win.....

The 9.6 y/a in the regular season was definitely a statistical outlier

no way that was ever going to be sustainable. no surprise he’s down to 5.5 y/a for the playoffs

Meanwhile Mahomes averaged 9.2 y/a against Houston

I think Andy was smart to protect Mahomes with an Alex Smith style shorter passing game in the regular season. OL was banged up, Mahomes was banged up, and the entire goal in the regular season is to simply win enough games to get yourself into the playoffs. Putting up a bunch of fancy stats does not mean anything.

Now that we are in the playoffs, you unleash hell and let Mahomes go for more downfield throws. If he gets hurt, who cares? It is the playoffs and the season is over regardless. It wasn't worth risking his health in regular season games, but it definitely is worth it in the playoffs. The OL and Patrick are both far healthier now too, so that helps.

Casey: "You can't win with just one guy out there"

Every Titans Fan: "Henry is going to win the game for us"

Taylor Lewan is a mental midget. He can’t take shit talk and getting his ass whooped. He’s a ticking time bomb.

Frank Clark needs to keep this up. Just keep poking him. He’ll give us a couple freebies. Just wait.

Tannehill couldn't even beat out Marcus Mariotta....so either Vrabel is a dumb SOB for not starting him immediately, or Tannehill is playing some very unsustainable football....

We just need to be humble and polite and beat the ****ing shit out of them the right way!!

:shake:

I care very much if Mahomes gets hurt, I would bet others do too.

Andy needs to keep the hammer down!
D needs to set the tone this game hit hard hit often turnovers to set up the O.

Now we're worried about cold weather? It's going to be maybe 10 degrees colder than last sunday, sunny, maybe wind topping out at 10 mph.

This is what, our third sub freezing home game so far? How much impact has it had on the passing game before?

Jesus ****ing Christ, our own fanbase treats this ****ing team like it's Rodney Dangerfield. Oooh, Derrick Henry is going to run all over us! Oooh Ryan Tannehill is a scary qyarterback, ooga booga! The Chiefs have no chance!

We know Mahomes and the passing game works in the cold. How has "Miami's Own!" Ryan Tannehill done in inclement weather? How about the rest of that Tennessee squad? Are they suddenly the Packers now? Why does every ****ing thing have to somehow be their advantage? What a bunch of chickenshit.

I'm certainly rooting against that scenario.

But my point was simply that it's dumb to let him get beat up behind a shoddy OL in regular season games. The Alex Smith short passing game is good enough to qualify for the playoffs. Then all bets are off and you unleash Mahomes' talent with a championship on the line.

Vrabel made a point of complementing mahomes on his running. So the Titans are going to make every effort to smash mahomes if he scrambles and gets delusions of running grandeur. Mahomes should just stay in the pocket and perfect a QB slide. No more of this hero bullshit where he's diving head first for the goal line. Russell Wilson running > RGIII smash mouth running.

:hmmm:

WTF are you even talking about?

It's called Chiefs Playoffs Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPPTSD), and the only cure for it is for a AFC Championship win.

Once the Chiefs win a AFC Championship, the CPPTSD will just fade in the past.

Thank You Keg Lombardi !! We all need to be reminded sometimes.:thumb:

He’s been running very smart this year. Most of the bad hits he takes are in the passing game.

I 100% agree with this...Chiefs toyed around with a traditional offense..because they could...either out of necessity or a long range strategy.

What we all saw, last Sunday, is the offense Reid has been squatting on.

Titans D-line doesn't produce much pressure...this will be a pass-first game plan from the first snap.

Exactly !

But I assure you Vrabel will have both sides of the trenches and DBs going full MMA on us and especially on Pat to attempt to physically and psychologically beat us down. So I suspect we will get some roughing the passer, PI and defensive holding calls for sure.

There was an actual moment you liked him?

If KC wins the SB...his first article will about how screwed the Chiefs are with so many FAs...and they will probably never make it back.

WTF are you talking about?

Do you have any proof at all that just because Vrabel complimented Mahomes on his running, how does that equate to "Vrabel is going to have his defense target Pat?"

And what the hell are you talking about "Mahomes should just stay in the pocket and perfect a QB slide." Have you watched Pat play a single game in the last two years? Do you know what a QB slide is?

Your and idiot.

I fully expect some cheap shots. Surprised the Texans didn't do it last week.

HYPE!!!

I'm expecting the Titans to play a lot like the Patriots did last year; lots of runs, short passes across the middle to run the clock and limit possessions for the Chiefs. When the Chiefs are on offense, I expect a lot of physical play by the Titans DBs with the expectations that the referees won't be calling a lot of penalties out of fear of ruining the flow of the game. There will be a lot of hits bordering on late/illegal attempting to injure our stars on offense. The Chiefs have to know this is coming and to be ready for it.

I've been talked down from a lot of the analyses I've seen from people talking about the TOP and running the ball thing as not so much of a viable strategy against KC, or at least not one that makes it any more likely to produce a victory.

Derrick Henry will get his yards. He'll get 100, is likely to get 150, and might get 180+. But I don't think that will destroy us if our offense clicks. And I have faith in that, which is good.

Still, I can't shake the nagging feeling that Tannehill is actually going to be way more than we thought we were getting. Sort of like how the Patriots treated Foles in that Super Bowl when he ****ing went crazy.

Even if we get in a shootout, I like our chances of victory, because that's the kind of game we're most used to playing over these past two seasons.

Point I'm trying to make is I'm way more concerned about Tannehill picking us apart than Henry. Maybe having Henry is why Tannehill could have that kind of game or why he's way more effective now than he was with the Dolphins. But then that's going to turn it into one of those heart attack games where I'm either overjoyed or REALLY ****ing miserable at the end... like, more dejected than if we just got Henry'd all game.

Predicting Chiefs win it 39-35. Defense comes through with last-second heroics at the end when Tennessee ABSOLUTELY can not run the ball. The opposite outcome of our earlier meeting.

Yup. Henry ran all over us in the first game, but it didn’t matter. Two late special teams blunders cost us the game.

He can have 150+ yard game, don’t care. As long as we don’t make dumb mistakes on special teams or turn the ball over in key spots, we’ll be fine. Won’t matter what Henry does.

The special teams blunders would not have even mattered if Damien Williams does not fumble in the 2nd quarter. That led to a TD return by the Titans defense. It was an enormous play in the game. Not only delivered 6 points to the Titans, but killed the Chiefs on a good drive. It was 1st down at Tennessee 44 yard line when the fumble happened. Chiefs likely score 3-7 points on that drive. Massive swing in momentum.

Also the Damien Williams' fumble that was returned for a TD.

In terms of statistical frequency, Tennessee relied on three low % plays to barely beat the Chiefs in the first match-up (fumble return for a TD, Chiefs' botched FG hold and then a blocked FG).

Tennessee is like those Chiefs' teams from the 1990's that had to rely on turnovers, big special teams plays, etc. to compensate for the limitations of their starting QB/passing game.

It will be interesting to see how the refs handle this game. The Texans were constantly grabbing on guys like Kelce/Tyreek. The refs did not allow them to get away with it. Extended a number of Chief drives on 3rd down with Houston penalties. Will they allow Tennessee to get away with the grabbing?

The passing game was just fine in last year's AFCCG when it was like 8 ****ing degrees.

People are just Because, Chiefs-ing.

Or if Pat doesn't over-throw Hill for that easy TD in the 2nd (IIRC). I think we settled for a FG on that drive. Point being, Pat's not going to miss a throw like that on Sunday. He's shaken all the rust off now.

Yeah, but but it's going to be 2 degrees colder (wind chill) than last year!

I think you are just having some pre-game jitters. Titans only scored 35 or more 3 times all year. All against bad defenses.

No way we give up 5 TD's at home to these guys.

10 points more like it.

Hell, I count that game as a win for the Chiefs as it relates to this game. A game flow anything like the first game, and it's an easy Chiefs win. Their secondary was running around cluelessly in that game, leaving guys open. Tennessee is the team that has to make all types of adjustments from that game, not us.

Mike Pennel will be the player of the game, if it's in a positive manner or negative of course will deal with how successful Henry will be

True and add in the fact it was Mahomes first game back after missing multiple games due to an injury for the first time in his career, his knee/ankle was not 100%, and he was missing his starting left tackle, starting right guard and his starting right tackle was injured during the game as well.

I dunno, sometimes the QB misses a throw. It happens. But fumbling the ball? That one is totally in control of the guy carrying the ball. Protect the damn ball, it's that simple. Chiefs should have learned a valuable lesson from it last weekend too.
