FYI: We run henry down peoples throats no matter the score, up or down, hes the game plan all 4 Q's

just thought youd like to know that so when you take any kind of lead, just know hes still coming

Keep running Henry if you are down multiple scores in the fourth quarter.

It eats up clock and works to the Chiefs' advantage.

You'll probably need more than 80 yards passing in the game from Tannehill (i.e. about his passing yards per game average in the playoffs) in that situation.

Can Tannehill lead a team to score at least 40 points, if not more this week? That’s the question you need to ask.

An injured Mahomes with a banged up OL put up 32 points the last time we played. That’s with ST’s messing up 7 additional points by the missed XP, bad snap FG miss and blocked FG.

Henry doesn’t change that either. Mahomes put up 51 taking the 1st Q off last Sunday. Against the best defense in the postseason last year (Patriots), he put up 31 points after taking the entire first half off. Time of possession does not matter against this offense that can score in 1-5 plays.

Mahomes is gonna score. A lot. And Henry isn’t going to be enough on his own to get you to 40. Tannehill is gonna have to throw it and be very good the entire game.

That’s a lot of pressure on him on the road going against the best player in the World.

That's fine, i'd love nothing more than for the Titans to kill the clock on themselves. A nice 8-minute 4th qtr drive while they're down 3 possessions sounds splendid.

Titans fans spend way too much time sucking on Henry's shit-locks. You need to spend more time thinking about how they're going to stop Mahomes with that whack-ass secondary and non-existent pass rush.

Hey, at least the Texans had the shell of JJ Watt. Ya'll don't even have THAT.

we score points guys, dont think you and Baltimore are the only teams wracking up points. on multiple occasions we've broken 30-40 pts

You've also been shut-out by the Broncos....

If that's the Mahomes you're getting, you guys have a decent chance. There were a couple games in there where Mahomes didn't play well. If you're playing beginning of the season Mahomes (which is the 2018 version) and the one who showed up against Houston, you're in trouble. It all comes down to pressure -- you're going to have to pressure him to have a chance.

When you're down 31-10 in the 4th and still running Henry for his 150+ yards, you'll realize why you can't win with just a RB.

Can you score points quickly if you get behind and need to rely on Tannehill/the passing game?

The Chiefs' strength on offense, a quick strike passing game, is your weakness on defense (Tennessee's 24th ranked passing defense).

The Faketriots and Baltimore could not exploit that weakness but the Chiefs can easily attack your weak pass defense with quick scores and force you to play from behind.

that was an entirely different Titans team

Mariota cant read a defense, and we plugged tannehill in last minute that day

It's about HOW they pass, and how effective they are in certain game situations. Just like Lamar Jackson.

It's okay, they'll just keep running Henry down 3 scores in the 4th. No big deal.

LMAOLMAOLMAO

Check out this tweet

I hope @KCIAirport is not closing the airfield because they know the Tennessee Titans @Titans are heading your way. At BNA @Fly_Nashville we’re not afraid. I wouldn’t make a Titan mad, it won’t end well for @Chiefs

Thats a misconception about our secondary.... put stock in that if you want, bu we have guys back there

You didn’t against New England.

Against Baltimore, 3 of your 4 scoring drives started on Baltimore’s 45 or further in. Your offense took advantage of short fields.

Credit for doing that, but the Titans offense has been gifted great field position to allow that.

youre right, we get short fields, should I be sorry our defense can play...?

So you are not the 8th worst pass defense, statistically in the NFL this season?

Absolutely not, but don’t act like your offense has been creating those points.

It’s been the defense creating turnovers, because their strength matches up well with what Baltimore does well. The Titans struggle with defending the perimeter and Baltimore’s RB...er....QB didn’t have the ability to take advantage of that. It took Baltimore out of their game, which led to 7 of their 11 drives resulting in turnovers.

KC is different. Our QB can and will make any throw. His vision and arm talent are second to none. We have speed all over the field. This is a very poor match up for the Titans defense.

It was a misconception that I watched Tyreek Hill roast their best corner over and over.....or that they are ranked about worst in the league at defending TEs.

dont confuse soft zone D as being a weakness of ours, we allow teams to dink and dunk between the 20's, then tighten up in the RZ and force ppl to kick FG's

Hi Ho fellas.

There seems to be some misinformation being put out or just plain homerish/blindness.

I'll start by saying PM is incredible, and yes AR is a great coach. Your WR core is lightning on the field. And yes this KC team is not the team we faced wk 10.

BUT the Titans aren't the same team either. Henry is Henry and if you don't think he's playing out of his mind then you just refuse to see it. The guy that got over 180 yards in wk 10 is playing like he's from another world right now. Ask the 8-9 guys that NE and the Ravens stack the box with and still couldn't stop him.

The biggest thing I see being overlooked by a lot of poster is Tanne. Don't act like he's not having a incredible year. So lets look at the stats from wk 10 to the end of reg season:

Tannehill: 117 of 169 (69.2%) for 1,762 yards (10.4 YPA), 16 TDs, 2 INTs, 129.8 rating, 139 and 3 TDs rushing

Mahomes: 162 of 243 (66.7%) for 1,851 yards (7.6 YPA), 11 TDs, 4 INTs, 97.6 rating, 136 and 2 TDs rushing

Tanne has proved since he came in that he can/will toss the rock with this offense and he's been successful doing it. He just hasn't had to toss it much in the playoffs, but when he has he's dropped some dimes.

Totally think PM and your crew have brought there "A" game into the playoffs, but don't act like the Titans aren't playing at a different level, too. They're controlling the LOS on both sides, running the rock down throats with 8-9 in the box, taking advantage of every RZ trip against strong D's, and are playing at a different level, too.

Two different offensive plans of attack that meet Sunday. It's going to be a great game...I can't wait.

It's only crazy that they have no one capable of kicking a FG.

Oh this is beautiful. We are literally playing what we used to be and we’re the team we used to always lose to.

This has every former Chiefs team narrative now:

Game manager vs Elite QB
Strong running game vs Elite passing game

And now finally the Titans have the “bend but don’t break” defense that sets up the offense with turnovers.

We know how this one ends kiddo. We’ve been on the other side enough times.

I'm just ready for this, beating the Titans will be cathartic, to watch the Chiefs, with an elite QB, beat the team that resembles everything they use to be.....right down to the Patriot turd leading it.

LMAO

You realize that's not a real thing, right? It's called having a shitty defense that can't cover, but find more success when the field shortens because, duh, it's ****ing easier.

Every shitty defense is magically better in the red zone. And of course they're all "Bend but don't break".

I almost feel bad for Mr JCBRAVE

We’ve lived this one time and time again. His team has him believing even though he knows deep down he shouldn’t.

Practically every real Super Bowl contender has had that franchise QB, but he’s convinced himself that his team this year is the exception.

LMAO

You guys have one of the worst red zone defenses in football.

It is ironic that you are preaching about not "overlooking" something when you are doing the same with the Tannehill vs. Mahomes statistical comparison that was already discussed in this thread (literally just a few posts ago).

Link: https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/show...postcount=1520

Perhaps you should take your own advice about not overlooking something.

Mahomes scored 32 with a banged up knee and OL while his ST’s ****ed up 2 FG’s and an XP.

So we spotted your guys 14 points with the Williams fumble.

That ain’t happening again.

But yes I will give this to the Titans fans...if you win then you will deserve to be in the SB. Just realize how difficult that road is going to be to accomplish that.

The Chiefs were blowing out the Patriots and Ravens when we played them healthy. Our team is finally healthy again.

There’s a reason we are confident.

1. These Tannehill/Mahomes stat comparisons are going to leave you so disappointed. LMAO. One guy gets his money throwing when D's are dialed into Henry, the other guy does it with D's KNOWING he's gonna throw it all over the yard. One guy played this season with multiple injuries, the other guy is a career failure that his team tries to protect from actually throwing the ball.

2. No, they're not controlling the LoS on both sides. Your D-line is has no pass rushers. It was comical how much time Lamar Jackson had to throw. I watched that game thinking to myself, "you gotta be shitting me, Mahomes will light them up with that kind of time".

Your D-line seems nice vs the run. That's great. But we don't run the ball so who gives a shit. And sorry, but no one is afraid of Jurrel Casey.

3. Everyone with half a brain knew the Titans would beat the Patriots. The Pats had weak run defense and no pass offense. Which plays right into the Titans hands. The Ravens aren't much different. They're passing game is not built to carry the team. Their strength once again played right into what the Titans do.


Listen, and listen well: The Chiefs are not like the Patriots or Ravens. Our passing game actually exists unlike the Patriots and it's not smoke and mirrors like the Ravens and Titans.

They WILL exploit your shit-pass defense and lack of rush and will force the Titans to do things they don't want to do. I fully expect the Titans know this, much like O'Brein knew it, and i expect the Titans will go for 4th and short quite frequently in an attempt to score as much as they can. And they will fail.

our DC has changed how he calls games , we have the talent whenever he wants to go back to playing tight

Oh please do. Play as tight on Tyreek Hill as possible.

I desperately hope that he decides to play up on the LOS this week. Please do that, Pees.

LMAO.

You think you're gonna play man coverage against the Chiefs? Did you not watch the Texans game?

It doesn't matter if it's man or zone. You don't have the horses. You don't have the DB's who can run with our boys and you don't have a D-line that's going to pressure Mahomes in any effective way.

You're in no-man's land here and all you can do is ride Henry's dick. Continue riding.

Romeo played man basically all game and we put up 51 in 2.5 quarters. By all means, play man coverage against us.

LMAO

JCBRAVE, you guys should make a statement on defense. Put your best CB on Tyreek Hill with no safety help and don’t give him any cushion.

Show how physical and tough you guys are right away. Also, bring the house on Mahomes on every obvious passing down. You guys are physical and tough. The Chiefs can’t hang with that.

You guys should really do that.

Interesting stat. On the Chiefs 8 scoring drives last week, they never had a single drive take 4 minutes or more. Let the Titans win time of possession. They can kill 7-8 minutes per drive to shorten the game. But the Chiefs will still get their points.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Tyreek Hill was targeted a career-high 19 times when the Chiefs played the Titans earlier this season.

Looking forward to a great game. You guys sure are defensive about mahomie. I dont think the titans fan was posting stats to say tannehill is better, even though his stats are. It was only the counter to you guys saying all the tits have is derrick henry, and one dimensional and all that. Which is why i posted about their red zone efficiency. 40 tds out of 41 trips. . One dimensional offenses cant do that.
Your comparisons of this titans team to old chiefs teams isnt true either. When did you guys have such good red zone efficiency. Was alex smith the leagues highest rated passer?

I'm sure not guaranteeing the tits win this sunday, but i can guarantee it wont be a cakewalk. The tits are coming with vengeance

um, yeah, actually. in 2017, Alex Smith led the league in passing efficiency. So yeah, highest rated passer. And we STILL chucked him aside in the spring of 2018 for Mahomes. Because, you know, he's Mahomes.

Didn't we also have the league leading rusher in Kareem Hunt?

Did we go to the Superbowl in 2017 with that formula? I can't recall...

They have to do something different from the first game. Even with that make shift O line, they didn't harass Mahomes.

Chiefs/Titans is the 1st game they do, solid breakdown.

Turnovers and special teams will be the deciding factors. If KC plays a clean game, I think they win. Last time they shot themselves in the foot with turnovers and mistakes on special teams. I don’t think they can afford the type of major mistakes we saw in the 1st quarter last weekend. They were fortunate the Texans choked like crazy in the 2nd quarter. You can expect Tennessee to have no big mistakes. So KC will need to match that with disciplined, clean football.

Jeff Fisher's man tits are coming with vengeance... we be shaking.

Keep seeing people saying the Titans will control the clock and keep Pat on the sidelines. Doesn't matter because the Chiefs can strike so quick and it's a false narrative anyways.

Titans are ranked 28th in average time of possession.

After listening to the pundits all morning, I have the same feeling as I had last year right before the Colts divisional game, we are being overlooked. A lot of people picking the Tits and their awesome o-line and running back... Same as the Colts last year. We spanked the Colts. Our defense is better and Mahomes is healthy and more mature, we roll.

Colin Cowherd picks KC over TEN.

Good breakdown. I'd like to reiterate a point they made -- the Chiefs "won" most of the plays on offense, and the Titans didn't match up. Mahomes missed a few big plays in that game. In all honesty, that Tennessee defense was the worst we faced all year. If they bring that same D on Sunday, forget about it. Maybe they made big strides like we did, but that was just an AWFUL D we played.

He’s a full on Mahomo these days. Glad he saw the light...even if it took Andrew Luck retiring.

PAYBACK TIME

The Titans are Sooooo overhyped (looking at you too Chris Meck /cheap jab). They backed into the playoffs because the Steelers sucked enough dick to close the season.


Then they landed two highly favorable match-ups for their playoff run. The Chiefs and Texans were the only two teams in this year's AFC's playoffs that could exploit the Titan's weaknesses and KC eliminated the Texans for them.

Any other year this Titans team gets one and done'd.

Seriously, the Patriots? They couldn't have asked for a better match-up there.

Ohhhhh ****. And with a healthy Suggs and Clark on each end? This is going to be ****ing glorious.

The same CC who said at the end of October that the AFC race was OVER LMAO

yeah okay. Whatever.

They are overhyped NOW. When I started talking about them they were unlikely to even make the ****ing play-offs. Because of their 2-4 start.

then they go on the road and embarass the defending champs and #3 seed (who, yeah, are in decline, but still at home) and then roll into Baltimore and WHIP the #1 seed with the presumptive MVP.

and you're all like, well YEAH, of course, who didn't see that coming.

Whatever, dude.

NOW, everyone is saying they're OMG THE BESTEST EVER and they're going to STEAMROLL THE CHIEFS WITH JIM BROWN/WALTERPAYTON REINCARNATED

so yeah. I thought they were UNDERRATED when they WERE.

Now I think they're being OVERRATED.

I don't know why you can't understand that.

I expected and predicted that WE would go to NE and knock off the Pats, and then go to Baltimore and knock them off because that was probably going to be our path.

Glad the Titans took care of that for us, and we'll beat them by 20 and move the **** on.

I don't think they are necessarily over-hyped. They do have the best running game in the league. They do have a solid run-stopping DL and some good DBs. They did win four games in a row on the road to get to Arrowhead. Tannehill has thrown a high percentage of TDs recently. You can't argue any of that.

But I think they're ultimately over-matched defensively. Their defense can't stop the Chiefs offense, period. They're only real option is to try and keep the ball away from Mahomes. And they haven't proven that they can do that. They are going to give us about 10 possessions. So we're going to score 5-6 TDs. Especially when you consider that since Tannehill became their QB, their RZ defense gives up a TD about 68% of the time, only better than HOU RZ defense. And we saw what Pat and Andy did to HOU inside the 25.

Meanwhile, regardless of who the Titans play, they only score TDs about 35% of the time. Period.

The only way they win this game is to suddenly and substantially increase their offensive efficiency. Get up to about 60%, or nearly twice what they've done all season, and in the playoffs. This never happens.

So, the only other possibility is that the Chiefs turn the ball over on their side of the 50 at least 5-6 times. We average less than 2 T/Os a game.

The odds are stacked against them. But I think it'll be a very interesting game in the beginning.

You sure about that?

https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/sta...ne-scoring-pct

28th in RZ TD%. LMAO

LMAO why you so defensive over the Titans? It's like your trying to flex your football-knowledge muscle and you're using the Titans as your vessel.

Yes, it's possible to be be both overhyped and have favorable match ups. Don't "whatever dude" me with that shit. This team woulda got bounced last year.

Using words like "whooped" and "embarassed?" Give me a break. They were beating the Patriots to a tune of 14-13 until the Brady pick 6 to end the game. You call that "embarrassed"? It was a 1 point freaking lead ffs.

They backed into the playoffs, squeaked by a Patriots team that just lot to Miami and was a horrible match-up for them, and beat a good Ravens team by doing exactly what we all said needed to be done to beat the Ravens.

naw, man. I flex my football knowledge muscles all the time.

because I'm usually right. :)

This just happens to be the topic this week.

And if you look back through the last year, I've been right a lot more than I've been wrong.

And if you can't crow a little bit on a ****ing football message board, then what point is there?

While i agree with a lot of what you said, they're still way over hyped. Any team with a competent passing game would work this Titans team.

The Titans are lucky that there were only two competent passing attacks in the playoffs this year and we eliminated one of them.

I know I shouldn’t feed the troll, but this guy is such a dipshit....

well, yeah, I think last year's Patriots team was better than this year's. Shocking insight.

As for 'embarassed'? well I'd call a 9-7 #6 seed beating the world champs at home is a bit embarassing, yeah. Judging by all those delicious Patriot fan tears, I'd say definitely embarassed. Burn those Brady jerseys, ya ****s! LOL.

As for 'doing exactly what we all said was needed to beat the Ravens'? Nope. I think just about everyone expected that WE would have to beat the Ravens and nobody was saying that we'd have to run for 180 yards and beat them on the ground. We would've outscored them through the air; totally different gameplan. Unless you think it's a genius call to say you would have to play good run defense to shut down Jackson and force him to beat us with the pass. If that's what you mean, then yeah, okay, genius, you win.

Almost nobody was concerned with Tennessee in week 16, and certainly on this board.

I was watching Henry ****ing shit up and saying, " This may be a problem for the play-offs if they get in."

So, yeah, I'll whatever you.

Defensive? what?
No. We'll beat them. They're a tough team, won't be easy.

I called them as a worthy opponent early.

I don't know why that has your panties in such a bunch.

Simms "They ran for over 200 in the first game and had to have 4 shamrocks up their ass to win it."

LMAO

Logan Ryan on The Herd with a “defense wins championships”.

Because the Titans defense is so awesome apparently.

he ****ing cracks me up!

I’ve been thinking about this and Jeff Fisher is right...it’s over for the Chiefs. They got lucky last week that the Texans layed down for them. The Titans will win. They are unstoppable. Derrick Henry will trample is on Sunday.

He’s correct. We have the better defense.

Spagnuolo has shown over the course of the season that he would much rather stop the pass than the run and I think that will show up again on Sunday schematically.

My guess is we see lots of two high safety looks in an effort to eliminate their explosive PA pass game. Henry will get his no matter what you do, may as well limit the explosive plays.

It’s what Belichick did and if NE could have put up more than 13 points, it would have worked.

Defense can help you win championships, for sure.

When all your D can really do, though, is defend the run? Not so much. Then it becomes matchup dependent.

The Titans have been fortunate so far to face teams that couldn't threaten the weak part of their defense - their pass D. That weakness is about to be tested to the limit.

They don't have the depth at CB or S to handle the plethora of game-breaking weapons KC can put on the field all at once. They don't have the pass rush to consistently pressure Mahomes.

and let's put it this way-

remember Henry's 68 yard TD run?

Jones was at left end, too far out, couldn't close in time to close that lane and Henry busts through and rolls over poor Thornhill with a 15 yard head of steam on him.

Now, imagine that's Suggsy in there at Left end on that play.

Henry drifts left, no lane, cuts back right, and Suggs, who is much more disciplined, drops him for a two yard loss.

That thumbs up was a mistake. You degenerate troll
