The team has been on a mission since last year’s AFCCG. I think they started yesterday’s game way too amped and tight. Once they settled in they began a run that I believe continues through next week. The game may be a hard fought one but, I’m kind of thinking the Chiefs just plain fist fuck Tennessee. [Reply]

They gave us 10 possessions in week 10, and our defense gave up 225 yards rushing in that game. We probably are going to get 10 possessions.
They gave the Ravens 10 possessions.
And if they give us 10 possessions, there's no real reason to expect that our Chiefs won't score at least 5-6 TDs and a couple FGs. That's a minimum of 41 points. Check their scoring average over the last 8 weeks or so. Their offense scores a boringly consistent 24-27 points/game. [Reply]

Not saying it’s gonna be a cakewalk but we can actually make plays down the field on a consistent basis.
Lamar threw for 36tds 6ints on 66.1% and is MVP for the season. I'm not sure why you would consider him.a running back. Same goes for all the people mocking Tannehill when his passer rating is 4th all time along with top 10 in completion percentage and yards per attempt in a season. Sounds like every QB in the NFL sucks outside of Mahomes reading this thread.
Trying to remember the circumstances of our first loss. We had our run D figured out at this point but it's still hard to understand why we didn't roster Pennel. He and suggs could be big difference makers. I also think our LBs have sneaky improved a LOT.
On offense we moved the ball at will and this time mahomes will be able to move. Think I remember he made a few business decisions that game (for very good reason) including sliding on a crucial play where we all know a healthy mahomes would've run for a first down.
I think the Titans were a sleeping giant when we played them. They overplayed what we thought they were. We on the other hand are a much better team than we showed last time. [Reply]

Are there any good QB's in the NFL?
The point was probably that when Tennessee got up on a quick lead vs Baltimore everyone knew the game was over. Tennessee turned lamar into a passing qb. Kudos to the D and O for getting the job done early. Tennessee still probably pulls it off but that game would look really different if the ravens made a stop or scored early. [Reply]
We all KNOW what is coming and so does everyone else: Derrick Henry, Derrick Henry, Derrick Henry. They are going to try and ride him to victory by feeding him the ball 30-35 times and keep Mahomes off the field.
I don't think it's anymore complicated than that. [Reply]
Let’s not forget about Dion Lewis. That sneaky fucker has caused many problem for us I. The past. Obviously Henry is public enemy #1 but hopefully Spags has some attention focused on a what if scenario should Vrabel pull out a short passing screen game attack. Be prepared for anything!

I am anticipating fairly easy movement by the Titans between the 20s, but stiffening the defense in the red zone to hold their drives to 3. If the Chiefs can retaliate with 7 frequently, the Titans will be forced into a game they cannot win.
Many will complain, but bend and don’t break defense can provide the Chiefs more possessions. [Reply]
Tennessee feels like the overconfident group here if these posters are any indication of their whole fan base.....
Henry is going to get his but at the end of the game, if the Titans don’t have at least 31 points, they’re probably going to lose. And they can definitely score that much but I wouldn’t bet on it. [Reply]

Now #2 Chiefs. NFC team will be either 1 or 2. This isn't just their 4th straight road game either, this is their 4th straight playoff game. If they lost to Texans, they don't get in.
By the way, I hope the fans here know I'm not trying to troll. I like talking football. I only signed up to defend Tannehill. I once thought he sucked but he has been really good.
Whatever happens, I'm just glad they got rid of Patriots and upset Ravens. It's been a fun season. [Reply]
