AFCCG Discussion: Titans at Chiefs

Do the Titans stand a chance in this one? They did beat the Chiefs earlier this year 35-32 but that was in Tennessee.

KC is going to the SB

If Titans can get Henry going like he has in the last two games they can definitely win .

He had 188 yards rushing the last time these two teams played. I hope Tennessee just punches them in the mouth like they did to the Ravens.

Tanny leading a team to the SB tickles my "does not compute" setting but if Henry can maul KC and Tanny can play without mistakes, then maybe ..

I think the Titans can win this one. Their defense matches up well with KC’s defense and Tannehill can do enough on offense against KC’s defense.

As always with the Titans, it’s all about execution and I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Comes down to if Mahomes can dominate, and the answer is probably yes.

At some point, Tannehill is going to need to start making more plays with his arm. KC will stack the box to stop Henry.

Take the Titans and the points.

Don't you think every team has tried that so far to no avail?

I like the underdogs here.

It will all come down to Henry and the Titans offense playing away from Mahomes as much as possible

I’m sure BB will offer tips to Vrabel and team.

The Chiefs do not have a good defense so the Titans need to score AND control the clock. Houston allowed KC to get into the incredible 3 minute flow by giving up field position due to kick return, fake punt and fumble. If the offense could have sustained a drive or two and put some points on the board things may have been much different. Titans cannot win a shoot out but if they can control the clock and score 25ish they have a decent chance.

This game won’t be a scoring fest.

Looks like a defensive struggle to me.

Tannehill isn't exactly Blake Bortles though. I'd be careful about how much I "make him win the game." He is very capable of winning the game. Seems many in the NFL world have long thought Tannehill is clear franchise QB with pretty crappy coaching and support. And when you look at Adam Gase in particular, it makes sense. It was hard to get a read on him against the Patriots because he was so Jeckyll/Hyde home and away, but that seemed to be everyone on both teams. Regardless, the guy has always been considered a good quarterback who frustratingly couldn't turn the corner to become great, despite having the tools.

The chiefs defense plays well situationally. They shut down the Texans 75% of the game, especially when it counted.
The Titans won’t be able to hang more than 24 on them. And no one can keep KC under 30.

KC's best defense against Henry is to score so many points the Titans abandon the run. Its probably going to happen.

I think the Chiefs will win but I thought the same thing about the Ravens. Titans need to be the more physical team and if they catch a couple breaks like they did this weekend then they have a solid chance.

The way Henry is running I can see him putting up big yardage against the weak chiefs run defense and keeping mahomes off the field.
