The Titans are the physical, ground and pound, in your face style while the Chiefs have a high flying aerial attack with very little running game. Playoff history would seem to favor the Titans style over KC’s. I love that all the focus this week will be in KC and their amazing 51-pt performance. Titans defense will be sick of hearing it by Sunday. The Chiefs have a decent rushing attack. They are not poor at all. I believe Footballoutsiders ranks them 14 or 15.

This is the type of coverage the Titans get. With Delanie done, the Titans don't really have a #1 TE. It's 1a 1b 1c between them. Vrabel continuously preaches about leveraging what players do best....it's the team first mentality and no where is this more evident than the TE group. More evidence of great coaching and roster management.... oldschool, and NashvilleNinja 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handling the pressure is the only real difference to me Teams with physical run games and defense travel and can play in good weather, bad weather, cold weather....The team that runs the ball better almost always wins playoff games.

Titans defense will be sick of hearing it by Sunday. i think that 51 point performance by KC vs Hou is probably one of the best things that could happen for the Titans. It serves as a reminder to this team just what can happen if they get over confident and don't buckle down for this game. And it could allow KC to go the other way and make them think they can put up tons of points at will (sort of working on me). i don't know how you defend these guys but thankfully, it's not my job. titanruss, LongTimeFan, begooode, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahommes also but he's on a better all around team. Titans are just solid... although Henry has reached that superstar status...he will be the reason the Titans start to get some love. You really gotta be into football to recognize a collection of talent in a team...most people just want that one or two names they can relate to It's amazing what we've built. Again like I've said they've managed to build a team that wins in the modern age that is the essence of what the Titans franchise has been. If you're not a fan of smashmouth football it's obvious now that this isn't the franchise for you. I've been accused of loving the "oldschool" smashmouth style too much so imagine my surprise that not only is it still effective it's dominant.

It's not a knock... He's the clear #1 on the Titans. That doesn't mean we couldn't use a more consistent upgrade... granted we don't have to throw it much so no one who wants to catch passes will look consistent on this team. Smith could very well be the guy to take over for Walker moving forward. Personally, I could just as easily see TE being one of the top positions to keep an eye on going into the draft.

I've been accused of loving the "oldschool" smashmouth style too much so imagine my surprise that not only is it still effective it's dominant. Here's the hilarious aspect of things. Almost all of the SB winning teams in the last 10 years have been good on defense and had a good running game, even if it was split out among a few (NE comes to mind). Teams like the Harbaugh 49ers, the Seahawks, the 2015 Panthers have all been built very similar to this Titans team. Explosive/efficient passing game, strong run game, and good defense. A good defense almost always contains a passing team. Historically it has. big2033 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them over the 49ers and Packers. If they beat the Chiefs this week I think they win the Superbowl. This. The last two wins have been considered "upsets" by the outside world. That we "stunned them". How about we just won, or the better team won. I honestly wonder how they would spin it if we won the Superbowl? That the other team imploded? It gets old..

901beast Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I totally agree man that’s why it’s going to be that much sweeter when we win it all..

This week will test what has been perceived as our biggest weakness all year... pass rush and pass defense. And we're doing it w/o one of our main CBs in Butler. If they beat the Chiefs again, I'll believe they could truly be the best in the league regardless of how they do in the SB. Hopefully it'll be a fun game.. for Titans fans Don’t forget we didn’t have Butler or Casey last time we played them, Mahomes had over 500 yards passing and they still lost. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
