The odds of that happening again seem low to me. That was a combination of some rust from a week off and being a little amped up/tight, IMO. [Reply]

Bottom line:Blocking and Tackling are not fun when it is bitter cold, SO as 'Ringleader' said who executes better in these conditions will win. Because to Ringleader's point that I have highlighted further catching the ball, giving up long runs, allowing blocked kicks, missing a snap, and fumbling are much easier in these conditions.
I agree that the weather conditions are being discounted -- but are we *sure* they favor the Titans? Won't the conditions be almost identical to last year? We passed the ball fine after the offensive line started blocking. Titans haven't played a cold weather game this year, and how many cold weather games does Tannehill have in his entire career?

My conclusion: At the end of the day, its gonna come down to Ryan Tannehill making plays, not Derick Henry. No RB can out slug this offense. And the D is gonna play in a way that sets up bombs for Tannehill. But none of it will be enough. Titans have to score 40 to have a chance. They wont do it. Their secondary cant match us.
Jones played in that game. He had two sacks and a forced fumble on the first drive. [Reply]
This Jeff Fisher loser will end up dissappearing after the game like that Buffalo Bills fan a few weeks back. They like to talk shit but we will see who has the last laugh. You are not playing Lamar Jackson here, loser boy. Mahomes will feast on the Tits corpses all day tomorrow. [Reply]

All bets are off when it is the AFCCG. But again it will be the team who executes better in these conditions and to your point we have played in far more cold weather than the Titans and we have Patrick "Brett Favre" Mahomes who has shown the cold weather doesn't really effect him that much.
I'm just saying that the weather will be a factor to some degree on Andy's play calling until Andy can get a feel about how Pat is adjusting to the conditions. Yes we definitely need to jump on these guys quick BUT the weather might not allow us to do this as quickly as we would like unless of course there are some unexpected turnovers. [Reply]

Hopefully for our Chiefs winning the AFCCG and going to the SB is more than enough to overcome these weather adversities.
Did you not watch Mahomes against the Colts?
How about the Denver game just weeks ago?
Pat don't give a fuck about no cold.
