Pre-Game Thread AFC Championship: Titans @ Chiefs

The Chiefs have a long winning streak and are due to lose. I'm getting pretty annoyed listening to all these experts on the TV who think the Titan's passing game is weak. Just goes to show how little they have watched the Titans. RT can throw the ball just fine when he needs to. He has a nice stable of talented receivers who are exceptional at YAC. Should they need to execute a more balanced attack I think they can have success through the air against the Chief's defense. Obviously they want to avoid a shootout with KC but this whole one dimensional label is not reality. Anyone paying any attention should understand why RT has such low passing yardage the last 2 games. His excellent passer rating says he has been efficient and it is by design. Against the Patriots especially he made some really crucial 3rd down conversions that helped seal the game and he has not had a problem scoring TDs. He said himself he loves to throw the ball but he just wants to win. Gotta love the guy for being such a team player to give up his own stats for the good of the team. It will be a difficult game but I'm cautiously optimistic. If it ends here I will be depressed for a while but so proud of this Titans run. This team is very hungry and they are getting a taste of what it is like to actually play for a SB. Win or lose it should give these guys confidence and extra motivation to come back next year and win it all..

 

As has been the case for most of the season, we have to punch in TDs instead of settling for FGs. Even though I have all of the faith in the world, I believe that this game is going to depend on Tannehill. He is definitely capable. It's a completely different feeling compared to Mariota. I really wanted for him to succeed, but most of the time that he threw the ball, I held my breath that something bad would happen. I mostly have confidence that something good will happen when Tannehill slings it. Maybe I didn't pay much attention to him in Miami, but I never realized that he was such a skilled passer. He is very accurate and has a nice deep ball.

 

Even if KC gets out to a quick lead...no need to panic because playing at home against the Texans and Colts during the regular season they put up a grand combined total of 10 points in the 2nd half...7 against the Texans and 3 against the Colts...

Also KC gave up the 3rd most receptions to TEs this yr....let's go Smith/Firkser/Pruitt....spread that ball around and get them on their heels...

 

Looks like the high now for tomorrows game has dropped to 19 degrees now.

 

Man after that 2-4 start, it is surreal that by this time tomorrow, we will be having an AFC Championship Game Day Thread !!!!

Life is good boys, life is good.

 

LOL he was not... I mean he looked good against the Titans but was pedestrian overall... time off did him good

 

this is what the tarpkitties did week BEFORE they played the Titans - LOL


no way the Titans could defeat such a talented team ......

 

we just need one key strip fumble from mahomes and i believe it will happen. I predict a monster game from casey and simmons

question: is jayon brown going to be ready? anybody knows if he is scheduled to play or is shoulder still a problem
