Let’s discuss Titans vs. Ravens

[Deberg_1990]

Any chance the Titans upset the Ravens?

Who would you rather the Chiefs play Against (if the Chiefs beat the Texans) in the AFC Championship?

Should a a very physical game.

This will be like 2 heavy weights throwing "haymakers" in the trenches all game. Titans will be just fine in the trenches on both sides of the ball IMHO. Niners exposed the Ravens in being able to get to the edges with the run. Watch for the "Train" Henry to do the same with excellent run blocking to get him there.

Ok, just checking, thought so, but I think noone wants to play the Chiefs. js
I don't think that is "unrealistic homerism" by any means.

Lack of rest and being on the road WILL NEVER STOP HOPE AND BELIEF IN ONE'S ABILITY IF THEY KNOW THEY CAN WIN IT ALL !! Just ask the '83' Raiders.

So now the real question becomes WHOSE HOPE AND BELIEF IS NOT ONLY BIGGER BUT MORE REAL?

CHIEFS or TITANS ?

Sure, but the pats didn’t have a bye week. And there’s no team that needed it more because they’re geriatric. We will be somewhat fresh if we play the titans while Tennessee gets pounded by two physical playoff teams. Especially significant since Derrick Henry, adoree Jackson and others are fighting through injury. We’ll be healthy (knock on wood) and they won’t be which is a total 180 from our first matchup.

I expect Henry and the Titans offense to do pretty well on the Ravens defense. But I haven't seen any evidence that the Titans defense can stop the Ravens offense. Could be a pretty good shootout.

I assure you the Titans and Ravens have no fear playing us even in Arrowhead. I find that a healthy perspective of one's own strengths and weaknesses and addressing them appropriately(IF YOU CAN) makes for a more stable mind and emotional heart when it is all said and done win or lose.

Like I said, when your "belief" is more destined than your opponents throw everything else out the window IMHO.

Kind of feel the same way. Don’t see Tannehill being able to do much against the Ravens D.

Oh noes, you underlined some shit. I'm skurred now!

[The Franchise]

How many rushing yards combined? 400? 500?

[JakeF]

I hope they utterly destroy each other.

[Indian Chief]

My biggest concern is the Ravens getting an early lead. I don't see the Titans being able to score on command. They need to play from in front or keep it close.
