By the way, we're beating the Chiefs. I'll have a score on here before game day but we not some soft team that will be intimidated when KC gets it rolling. Not happening...

I'm genuinely curious about your answer. How would your offense be able to catch KC if they go up two possessions?

Tannehill has thrown for 72 and 88 yards in y'all two playoff games. Y'all not soft, but if you're down you will need to catch up. How will you catch up?

You might not know it from the playoff games, but the Titans have a really good passing attack once they benched Mariota. AJ Brown and Corey Davis are really good. They've just been riding Henry because teams can't stop him but they can throw the ball if they need to.

We have a passing game, you guys will see it sooner or later. Team went 7-3 after Tannehill took over while averaging 30ppg. Overall this is the #10 scoring offense (Chiefs are #5), #4 in yards per play (Chiefs are #2), #9 in passing TDs (Chiefs are #6), #1 in yards per attempt (Chiefs are #5), #1 in air yards per attempt (Chiefs are #2)...

If you need me to break down what all of these stats mean individually, I'll gladly do so, but this idea that we can't keep up in a shootout when we won a shootout versus this very team is unfounded...

Yall are conflating the fact that we've bludgeoned opps with the run because since we knew they couldn't stop it, with a false belief that we can't beat a team thru the air. When clearly, neither Baltimore nor New England shut down or compromised our passing game...

Now if KC is able to do that, kudos to them. But there is no evidence of anybody clamping our passing attack, we haven't passed it because we didn't need to...

Again, if you need me to, I'll tell you exactly what all those passing stats that Tennessee ranks Top 10 in mean for the Chiefs defense, if we find ourselves in game where we have to score big to win...

I know the stats. I'm just curious of your perspective if y'all go down. I see what the offense has done, but ultimately I have no faith in Tannehill to come back if y'all are down by 9 or more. It's easier to complete passes and run an offense when you're ahead. Lamar QB style is similar in that way as we saw yesterday. The Ravens got leads and were mostly able to run their offense comfortably and on their own terms. Because Ravens fans could used the same type stats to justify Lamar passing ability.

Chris Jones’ availability and effectiveness gonna be even more crucial here.

I give Tennessee a lot of credit for getting this far but I also think that they were fortunate to a degree in that they were able to face somewhat limited passing offenses defensively. No Kelces or Hills on BMore and NE.

They’ve been making a lot of big plays on offense and defense but i don’t know about their ability to put drives together

That's the thing... Mahomes and company KILLED the Titans defense the last time they played. He went for 446 and 3 TD. Hill went for 157 and a TD. Kelce went for 75 and a TD.

The Chiefs got what they wanted through the air, held a two-possession lead on two separate occasions and STILL LOST. Yes, KC as a whole is a better team now, but operating under the assumption that Tennessee is at least playing better now than they did then (safe assumption, especially on defense) ... I can see the Titans whooping their asses again.

But if KC goes up 21-0, then yeah, it's probably a wrap. I concede that. But KC will never put enough distance between them and Tennessee if they cannot stop Derrick Henry. And that man has been unstoppable ever since ... well, ever since the Chiefs game.

My perspective is we have the weaponry to go blow for blow with KC if a shootout is required...

KC's offense is better than the last two we just faced, but our defense is also better than who they just beat. We'll be right there with them the whole way...

Chiefs D is playing better now than they did back then too, and then there’s the matter of this game being at ArrowHead.

Titans are gonna need something similar to what happened in this Houston game to happen with them. I wasn’t that impressed with their offense in the first two playoff games. Henry balled though

Fair points. With how Henry is running though, a two-possession lead for Tennessee might be an automatic W.
