Go **** yourself, Rice-A-Roni.
New England offense was cra p and you already said Houston was crappy Green Bay defense sucks. So you played Tenessee, Baltimore and Minnesota. San Fran played Seattle twice and Baltimore in Baltimore so you can't say their schedule was light [Reply]
All of the Titans offensive success in the first half came off of play-action. Henry was low impact in the first half and in the game. The Titans never trailed by more than 2 scores in the third quarter and had plenty of opportunity to do their thing with Henry. They couldn’t.
Exactly.
Once Tyreek dropped that pass on 3rd down on our first drive of the second half and we had to punt, the Titans had a golden opportunity to re-establish the run game and take back control. Our defense didn’t allow them to, and we forced them to punt. [Reply]

He's a better QB now than a year ago, regardless of the stats. Made a lot of great decisions today, lot of QUICK decisions. He'll need that against a strong Niners pass rush. [Reply]

Most of the Titans’ scoring drives were heavily aided by boneheaded penalties by the Chiefs. Multiple encroachments and an unnecessary PI by Breeland. Those alone gifted the Titans touchdowns on what should’ve been field goal drives.
Henry was held under 4 yards a carry, so no it wasn’t all about play calling.
If he ran for 6 yards a carry, but his touches were limited you might have a point. That wasn’t the case though.
I think your score before halftime is what won this game. It was the first time in weeks we abandoned our game in weeks. Our running game gets better as the game goes on and the chiefs taking the lead for some reason put us in panic mode and we abandoned the great 2nd half running we normally do. It was perfectly played by KC and my titans tensed up at the wrong time. You deserved this one. [Reply]

We played 6 playoffs teams outside of our division.
Once Tyreek dropped that pass on 3rd down on our first drive of the second half and we had to punt, the Titans had a golden opportunity to re-establish the run game and take back control. Our defense didn’t allow them to, and we forced them to punt.
OUR RUN DEFENSE WAS STELLAR!
And then, when we got the ball back in the 3rd, we bleed the clock with our run game to keep Henry on the sideline! [Reply]

It's kinda what the Titans did to Lamar & the Ravens. Baltimore went into panic mode earlier than they needed to IMHO. [Reply]

Their offense isn’t complete, because they don’t have a top tier QB. As Chiefs fans know, you absolutely need one to win consistently.
They gashed the Packers on the ground, but we showed a lot of promise against the run today. We also did very good against the run against Minnesota. When we know it’s coming, Spags is able to contain it.
We need to come out hot. I fully trust our OL, Patrick, and Andy to contain their pass rush...or at least scheme different ways to negate it. We have 2 weeks to study it.
If our offense can score early (unlike the last two weeks), we should be very confident.
Andy and Pat showed this week again that we aren’t going full conservative when we have a lead. We’re still going to let it fly. Let’s get Garoppolo trying to go throw for throw with Mahomes. SF won’t like how that ends.
Score early. Avoid turnovers. Limit penalties on defense. We can do this.
They have 2 weeks to prepare for the Chiefs [Reply]
