KC is flat-out better on both sides of the ball and will have the best player on the field.
Obviously, anything can happen in a single-elimination scenario, but it would take another game like vs Baltimore (slew of turnovers) for them to come out of KC with the win.
Ravens and Patriots were both flat out better on both sides of the ball too. At least against other teams, just not against the Titties. [Reply]

It took the dumbest roster move in recent memory deactivating Pennel, a Damien Williams fumble 6, and the worst ****ing 3rd and 2 call with the game on the line in the Andy Reid era, on top of Colquitt not knowing the snap count AND intentionally grounding the football to even be in a situation to take the lead.
Then a missed offsides call by the refs allows our potential game tying fg to be blocked, because again, snap count issues.
That shit will not happen in KC.
Mahomes is gonna do to the Titans what Stallone did to the big bad at the end of Last Blood. Rip their heart out and show it to them.
Looking at Henry's stats he really wasn't having a very good season until he played us and since then he has been on a tear. Heck the Donkey's held him to 28 yds so hopefully the coaching staff can find something those teams were doing early in the season to slow him down. [Reply]
IIRC, in that first game it was 10-0 Chiefs and the Chiefs had the ball, Mahomes slightly overthrows Watkins on a deep cross that would have put the Chiefs in the redzone with a chance to make it a 3 score game? [Reply]

Titans will still be running him when they are down by three scores, helping us salt the clock away for the win. [Reply]

It's easier said than done, but it all comes down to the point of attack.
He's not really that nimble and he runs upright. So it's absolutely critical to get him slowed down a bit. Make him chop his feet or try to bounce.
He's a big back, sure - but he's not the biggest ever. But he may be the biggest back to ever hit 20 mph. He's just so damn fast for his size that once he gets a bit of momentum he's impossible to deal with.
He's ultimately a little like Okoye if you think about it. You just needed to pop him sideways a bit or get him to hesitate at the line. The Titans OL has done a nice job of setting him up for success but he's not an impossible task to slow down. [Reply]

They kind of have to; it’s how their offense is constructed. They don’t have the weapons to get into a high efficiency shootout with the Chiefs. If they abandon the run, they won’t get into those 3rd and short situations, spags blitzes Tannehill and it’s game over even faster than if they just keep running. [Reply]
The Titans didn't look like much the last time we played them. Was similar to yesterday's game in 1st qtr. Made stupid mistakes to keep them in the game. I think yesterday we were rusty in the 1st qtr. Next Sunday we will start faster and make them pass. [Reply]

Ya think!!
They will try to keep Mahomes in the pocket and push our manure back in up through the interior line like other teams have done. If they are fairly successful at this then Pat will not have time to throw deep and turn him into "check down Sally". [Reply]
