Pre-Game Thread AFC Championship: Titans @ Chiefs

Just got my tix for KC. Can’t wait to see them live. I missed the regular season game. This Titans team will fight hard. This has got to be one of if not the most difficult road to the SB since the Steelers did it several years ago as a 6th seed. Either way as a 20 year season ticket holder. Now living in Raleigh and flying back for games. It’s been a very interesting season. The highest of the highs. The lowest of the lows. But the “take everything “ mantra is perfect.

 

I’m trying to avoid the pity in me saying wellll if titans lose at least we ended NE and beat the heavy favorites n Baltimore

No.

It’s gunna be 30 and cold AF in Kc - u got a RB the size of a Mac-Truck - u run him down their ****ing throats until someone can prove to stop it, keep Mahomes off the field and u go play Jimmy G in Miami.

 

call titans office. Last time in KC there was an “unofficial” tailgate. I met Amy Adams Strunk and other Adams family members in the parking. It was really cool and laid back. Open to everybody. It was so well received by the traveling fans I can’t imagine they won’t do it again.

IIRC it was section “C”. I wish I could go but big work stuff preventing. If good things happen Sunday, I’ll def be in Miami.

 

And that is the one time we beat him. Do not twice as was claimed.

 

Y'all ever watch the NCAA tournament and your team makes a ton of 3's...

and you think "Oh god. They're killing it this game- but they're spending it all. Rarely happens twice.".... then the next game, like clockwork... your team can't make 3s anymore.

Let's hope that's how it works for the Chiefs.

 

And we're saving up on Tannehill.

 

Remember this guy. We need to straight up platoon his ass after the game if we win.

Weeks 1-10::
Rushing TDs Allowed: 30th - 12 TDs
Rushing Yds Allowed per Attempt: 30th - 5.1yds
1st Down Conversions Allowed by Rushing: 32nd - 84 1st downs

Weeks 11-17::
Rushing TDs Allowed: 28th - 9 TDs
Rushing Yds Allowed per Attempt: 12th - 4.1yds
1st Down Conversions Allowed by Rushing: 15th - 42 1st downs

Who the Chiefs were playing when they were a bad rush defense (Weeks 1-10): Jaguars (17th), Ravens (1st), Colts (7th), Texans (9th), Packers (15th), Vikings (6th), Titans (3rd)

Since the Titans game, this has been the offenses they played:
Chargers: 28th rushing offense
Raiders: 13th rushing offense
Pats: 18th rushing offense
Broncos: 20th rushing offense
Bears: 27th rushing offense
Chargers: 28th rushing offense

So, they've played 0 top-ten rushers and they have only played 1 rushing offense ranked in the top half of the league.

All of the analysts I've seen have us getting our doors blown off, because "they aren't the same defense" that gave up nearly 200 to Henry in week 10. The raw numbers say they have improved ... but who have they improved against? They have been playing bottom-10 rushing offenses and they have still been allowing over 4 yards per carry.

Is ESPN serious? I'm supposed to be frightened by the fact that they held Royce Freeman down? I hope the Chiefs come in listening to that hype and believing they are a good run defense. Fact of the matter is that they haven't improved ... their level of competition went down. But guess what ... that level of competition is about to go waaaaaaaaaaay up this Sunday.
