I'll start by saying PM is incredible, and yes AR is a great coach. Your WR core is lightning on the field. And yes this KC team is not the team we faced wk 10.
BUT the Titans aren't the same team either. Henry is Henry and if you don't think he's playing out of his mind then you just refuse to see it. The guy that got over 180 yards in wk 10 is playing like he's from another world right now. Ask the 8-9 guys that NE and the Ravens stack the box with and still couldn't stop him.
The biggest thing I see being overlooked by a lot of poster is Tanne. Don't act like he's not having a incredible year. So lets look at the stats from wk 10 to the end of reg season:
Tannehill: 117 of 169 (69.2%) for 1,762 yards (10.4 YPA), 16 TDs, 2 INTs, 129.8 rating, 139 and 3 TDs rushing
Mahomes: 162 of 243 (66.7%) for 1,851 yards (7.6 YPA), 11 TDs, 4 INTs, 97.6 rating, 136 and 2 TDs rushing
Tanne has proved since he came in that he can/will toss the rock with this offense and he's been successful doing it. He just hasn't had to toss it much in the playoffs, but when he has he's dropped some dimes.
Totally think PM and your crew have brought there "A" game into the playoffs, but don't act like the Titans aren't playing at a different level, too. They're controlling the LOS on both sides, running the rock down throats with 8-9 in the box, taking advantage of every RZ trip against strong D's, and are playing at a different level, too.
Two different offensive plans of attack that meet Sunday. It's going to be a great game...I can't wait.

1. These Tannehill/Mahomes stat comparisons are going to leave you so disappointed.
. One guy gets his money throwing when D's are dialed into Henry, the other guy does it with D's KNOWING he's gonna throw it all over the yard. One guy played this season with multiple injuries, the other guy is a career failure that his team tries to protect from actually throwing the ball.
2. No, they're not controlling the LoS on both sides. Your D-line is has no pass rushers. It was comical how much time Lamar Jackson had to throw. I watched that game thinking to myself, "you gotta be shitting me, Mahomes will light them up with that kind of time".
Your D-line seems nice vs the run. That's great. But we don't run the ball so who gives a shit. And sorry, but no one is afraid of Jurrel Casey.
3. Everyone with half a brain knew the Titans would beat the Patriots. The Pats had weak run defense and no pass offense. Which plays right into the Titans hands. The Ravens aren't much different. They're passing game is not built to carry the team. Their strength once again played right into what the Titans do.
Listen, and listen well: The Chiefs are not like the Patriots or Ravens. Our passing game actually exists unlike the Patriots and it's not smoke and mirrors like the Ravens and Titans.
They WILL exploit your shit-pass defense and lack of rush and will force the Titans to do things they don't want to do. I fully expect the Titans know this, much like O'Brein knew it, and i expect the Titans will go for 4th and short quite frequently in an attempt to score as much as they can. And they will fail.
