Logan Ryan on The Herd with a “defense wins championships”.

Because the Titans defense is so awesome apparently.

I’ve been thinking about this and Jeff Fisher is right...it’s over for the Chiefs. They got lucky last week that the Texans layed down for them. The Titans will win. They are unstoppable. Derrick Henry will trample is on Sunday.

He’s correct. We have the better defense.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Spagnuolo has shown over the course of the season that he would much rather stop the pass than the run and I think that will show up again on Sunday schematically.

My guess is we see lots of two high safety looks in an effort to eliminate their explosive PA pass game. Henry will get his no matter what you do, may as well limit the explosive plays.

It’s what Belichick did and if NE could have put up more than 13 points, it would have worked.

Defense can help you win championships, for sure.

When all your D can really do, though, is defend the run? Not so much. Then it becomes matchup dependent.

The Titans have been fortunate so far to face teams that couldn't threaten the weak part of their defense - their pass D. That weakness is about to be tested to the limit.

They don't have the depth at CB or S to handle the plethora of game-breaking weapons KC can put on the field all at once. They don't have the pass rush to consistently pressure Mahomes.

and let's put it this way-

remember Henry's 68 yard TD run?

Jones was at left end, too far out, couldn't close in time to close that lane and Henry busts through and rolls over poor Thornhill with a 15 yard head of steam on him.

Now, imagine that's Suggsy in there at Left end on that play.

Henry drifts left, no lane, cuts back right, and Suggs, who is much more disciplined, drops him for a two yard loss.

That thumbs up was a mistake. You degenerate troll

[QUOTE=Chris Meck;14730124]well, yeah, I think last year's Patriots team was better than this year's. Shocking insight.

a 1-point loss is not embarrassed, regardless of how dipshit Boston fans react.

We would've outscored them through the air; totally different gameplan. Unless you think it's a genius call to say you would have to play good run defense to shut down Jackson and force him to beat us with the pass. If that's what you mean, then yeah, okay, genius, you win.

Yeah, we had many conversations on how you beat the Ravens and it was pretty obvious: Make Lamar throw from behind. The Titans jumped out to a 14 point lead, Ingrahm left the game with a banged up calf and the rest was history. It doesn't take a genius to see that, but you apparently think you're some savant because you guessed right. Don't throw around stupid mockeries like "Genius" when you're over here banging your chest over the ****ing Titans beating a team like the Patriots. GMAFB.

All you've been doing for months now is banging your chest over the Titans. Get out of here with that shit, genius.

So, yeah, I'll whatever you.

Bullshit yet again. A lot of people were worried about the Titans exposing our run defense. I told my wife and friends that the Titans are the only team i didn't want to play in the event we played in the Wild card round. But after further evaluation i realized there was nothing to worry about, even if Henry goes off for 180.

The more we conversate the more obvious it becomes that you're hanging your ego on the Titans success.

"I called it! I called it!"

Fool, look at the match-ups. It wasn't hard to call and no, you weren't the only one.

Ok, see....this is bullshit analysis.

Jones also had containment responsibility on the bootleg fake, which is what caused him to be out of position. Suggs wouldn't be any different. It was Ragland who over committed, not Jones.

Jones did his job on a play designed to force him to play two responsibilities. That had nothing to do with Jones' discipline.

We also signed Demone Harris 2 weeks after that. He’s been a damn good run stuffing DE.

We’ve improved immensely against the run since our last meeting.

I think KCs offense will be humming like a fine tuned radial engine.. Force Tennessee to kick a couple field goals.. Game over..
I like KC to win big in this game. With a multitude of ways for that to happen.
