Tannehill ran all over the chiefs this year in Tennessee. Yes he’s mobile and hard to bring down as well. I don’t quite understand the over confidence in chiefs fans. Yes we have the single best player in the universe right now but the chiefs also have the terrible playoff history anchor that they still need to prove they’ve ditched. And again I disagree with most on this site. The titans will have the second best player on their side on Sunday. Henry is statistically playing as (please understand this means just right now at this moment) the best RB of all time.

1. Overcoming a 24 point deficit in last week's playoff game was a significant step towards overcoming their playoff anchor
2. I think having the best player in the universe sort of makes any prior playoff game outcomes obsolete

We did get run over by Tannehill. I especially remember him trucking a couple of our players at the goal line to cap a late TD drive they had. Henry is playing like a man possessed, that's a given and can't be argued. The flip side to that is you know exactly what the Titans are going to do and you hopefully game plan for that. The first meeting, I believe Spags even said they anticipated Tannehill to sling it all over the field, so they got caught with their pants down when Henry was shoved down our throats. I can't imagine he makes that same mistake. Granted, stopping him is altogether another story, but the game plan alone should be miles better.

I'm by no means booking my ticket to Miami, but I certainly believe this team can and SHOULD win this game. Mahomes will have another "over my dead body" game where he refuses to lose another home AFCCG.

I’m on board with 100% of this. If the chiefs have one big advantage it’s that they all ready know the titans game plan. Same game plan that’s been run by 100 teams 1000 times. It works a lot though. Hopefully spags is watching a lot of games from the 80s and early 90s. Wish the chiefs had one or two more LBs like ragland right now.

He throws like one too.

Sorry if this was discussed, but that game really wasnt that close until a series of crazy things happening right at the end.

Not lately. He threw some bombs last week that were beautiful.

Hes not in Mahomes league, but hes much better than people give him credit for.

The Damien Williams fumble for the TD was the real killer IMO.

We were driving at will all game. That took what could’ve been a TD drive for us and turned it into an automatic TD for them. 14 point swing.

This game would be like if Marty Schottenheimer and Steve Bono were going to play Jim Kelly and the Bills offense and we sat there saying shit like "oh man Bono has made some good throws" while Kelly is beating his entire post season state line in basically a quarter.

He threw one long pass which accounted for most of his entire passing yardage for the game.

We've lost a few fluke games to Tennessee. That luck is going to run out and the superior team will prevail.

5 of Tannehills 7 completed passes were within 5 yards of the LOS last week.
