Titans and their fans have only to gain from the Chiefs early start. Once we dismantle the artist formerly known as the Chargers, the Texans will have absolutely nothing to play for. Instead of having to deal with Watson, Hopkins and Hyde/Johnson, the Tits get to face AJ McCarron, Keke Coutee, and Fuckstick Mcgee or whomever the Texans third RB is. The Titans should be sending Christmas cards to the league office. [Reply]

They played really good football against:
Denver - 27th
Minnesota - 7th
Los Angeles - 21st
Oakland - 24th
New England - 6th
Denver - 27th
Chicago - 30th
There are some bad offenses in there for sure, but the fact they were pretty much able to shut down two top 10 scoring offenses is a pretty good sign regression isn't in the cards.
And they more or less dominated everyone else. They weren't just good against these bottom feeders. They kicked ass.
Not your father's Chief defense.
The Chiefs held New England to a SEASON LOW yardage total at home.
The D is fixed.
That's fair. And dont get me wrong, dominating the bad ones is what a good football team is supposed to do, and something the titans have always had a hard time with. Sometimes they show up for the good ones though. [Reply]
Hearing Mahomes talk about the Titans as the last game they slipped up on makes me think that if they see the Titans in the Playoffs that they’ll absolutely destroy them to prove a point. [Reply]

If Spags doubles Mark Andrews and can contain Lamar, there is no reason we can't beat that team.
I don’t think it’s that simple unfortunately. I’m not sure you can double any of them all that efficiently AND commit the necessary resources to defending their option run game. [Reply]

Well, I don't think you need to double Andrews on every snap. He's not Wes Welker.
Doing it on critical passing downs might be all you need.
They don't split Andrews out - I think it's going to be far easier to bracket him in the middle of the field and still stop the run. [Reply]
It's not going to be necessary to double anyone on the Ravens. Our defense can contain him and pressure him. He will miss his receivers by 10 yards most of the time when we do that. [Reply]
Spags fucking owned Lamar when we beat him, and that was with them going for it on 4th down almost every time. The only thing they did well was run the ball. Limit that and it’s game over. If they have to pass, Spags will confuse the fuck out of Lamar.
I can totally see Spags blitzing like a motherfucker the entire game. 1st down and you’re lined up with Ingram on your right side? Well fuck you Lamar I’m blitzing a DB with a running start to that side to get rid of that option bullshit they run. [Reply]
