Voted no. There is a lot of parity in the league and the Titans aren't garbage, they legitimately stomped the Ravens in their own house.
The important thing here is two Championship games in two years for Mahomes, it just feels like it is going to happen for us eventually with this kid at the helm. The future is so ****ing bright I need sunglasses. |
I've witnessed some of our worst losses in person for many of the losses of the last 25 years or so. But, we knew we had a top defense but no offense. We had a top offense and no defense. We knew that could trip us up. We thought Mahomes could overcome our crappy defense last year but we didnt figure that he'd never touch the ball.
This year with a top offense and respectable defense, playing as good as we did down the stretch, played in the divisional round, at home after catching a few breaks......... yeah, would be the worst loss ever. |
If we lost this game, it would be similar to John Elway and the Broncos losing to the 9-7 expansion Jaguars at home in the playoffs in 96.

OP is his father’s most disappointing ejaculation.

No. I fully expect the Chiefs to win this game. They are the superior talent of the two teams. I dont expect the Titans to puss out like the Texans did, and I expected a comfortable win against the Texans. We cant spot the Titans a 24 point lead, but we wont.
I think we win by 7-10 points and I expect the Titans to do what they do, regardless of what we do to try to stop them, but the Chiefs B game still beats their A game. They are probably better than their record suggests. They would have won the division if Tannehill started from day one, but Tannehill doesnt scare me as a good game manager. They seem to stick with their bread and butter Henry regardless of the ebb and flow of the game which is good on their part. Most teams are rattled easier than they are. Make no mistake the Titans are a tougher opponent than the Texans, but still have no business beating this Chiefs team. I still think the 95 loss to the Colts was pretty bad, the 97 loss to Denver stung as Gannon should have been the starter and we all knew it prior to the game. The 2013 loss to the Colts was an epic bed shitting. I cant say this would be the most disappointing yet. I will add that things will get much tougher once Pat is signed to his next contract. Thinking ahead like that, yes this would be a very disappointing loss, but I just dont see it happening. |
I see this as simple as pie:
-We find a way to stop Derrick Henry, we win big -We can't stop him, it's a brutally slow torture of death with a low scoring loss |

Everyone thinks its either Derrick Henry plays well and the chiefs lose, or we totally shut him down and the chiefs win. It can be both. Derrick Henry is probably gonna have a good game, but the chiefs are still going to win. Thats how it would have been the first time around too if it weren't for a few bad special teams plays.

I voted that we aren't losing this game.
However, since I'm bored . . . IF the Chiefs somehow lost this game (have not real idea how that would happen, but whatever) . . . I think the answer must be "yes, it would be the most disappointing loss in Chiefs' history." Two things here: One, this is without a doubt the best team that the Chiefs have sent to the playoffs in my lifetime, period. And obviously the best QB we've ever had, so we don't have that excuse anymore. There' s no Alex Smith, or Grbac, or Trent Green to look back at and say, "well, we didn't have an elite QB, and we were facing an elite QB, so what're you gonna do?" And we have the best offensive weapons in the league. It's like we have a squadron of F-22 Raptors for receivers, and everyone else has MIG-21s. It's literally not fair. Two: This is the weakest group of playoff opponents that the Chiefs have faced in a long time. There's no Payton Manning and the "No-Fly Zone". There's no Tom Brady, Belichick and Gronk. No LA Rams. No Drew Brees and the Saints. No Russell Wilson. The Chiefs have to beat Vrabel and Tannehill and Derrick Henry. Not a HOF-bound uber QB. Not a HOF-bound Head Coach. Just one really good RB. And that is probably what scares most people around here, and most Chiefs' fans in general. There are no more excuses. Before we could always sit back after the loss and say, "well hell, it was Payton. Man's a ****ing computer." Or "****ing Belichick out-coached us again." Or "Damn that Gronk. What're you gonna do?" We don't have a single one of those crutches this year. In fact, everything's turned around on us this year. This year, we have the best QB. We have the best receivers. We have the best overall offense. We have a top-5 defense. We have the best OC in the business. We have maybe the best DC left in the playoffs. The deck is stacked FOR US, NOT AGAINST US THIS YEAR. We are the team to beat for the first time in my life. We are the Patriots/Broncos/Saints/Packers whoever. The Titans are every Chiefs teams before 2018. If we're going to win, this is the best chance we've ever had since I became a Chiefs fan back in 1979. |
