The countdown has begun. Only two more games after this one. Well, I’m sure people started counting down before now but I’m not able to handle anything beyond three so this is when I start. Both games today are rematches and the googler tells me that when teams meet again in the playoffs the winner of the first tussle is 22-14. Make of that what you will.
TO THE GAME!
Titans/Chiefs:
-Many on this site have adopted the Titans as their squadoo for the playoffs, forgetting The Ancient One’s prophecy regarding Mahomes being a multiple Super Bowl winner. It starts here.
-That is of course if they can stop the run. Another 30+ carries, 125+ yards rushed seems to be a mortal lock for Henry because the Chiefs give up 4.87 yards to opposing rb’s.
-And then the play-action passing game kicks into overdrive. Will it actually involve A.J. Brown though. He’s disappeared to the tune of 4 total targets the last two games. Perhaps Tajae Sharpe and his 70% catch rate (highest of all remaining wr’s) is the player to look for.
-One other mathy tidbit to keep in mind-Tennessee is 4-0 in games this year when they’ve been 4 or more point dogs.
-But ya gotta think that the Chiefs just have far too many weapons. They hung 51 points on the Texans last week and Tyreek didn’t even get involved. And conventional wisdom dictates that Kelce will keep on rolling against a team that gives up the 4th most scores to the tight end spot.
-Prediction Time! The Titans will score but the Chiefs will score more-they’re far healthier than they were the first time around. 35-21.
WHAT A BLOCK
Lorenzo Neal flashbacks
yeah, he was the master of that. Too bad the RT was holding and ruined the play
The only thing this game is missing so far is the NFL Films narrator voice
Did they put extra amphetamines in the Chefs’ Gatoraid?
Found a funny:
[learning to fly a plane]
ME: *whispers to pilot* which buttons make it flap
I love the Titans game plan. Trouble is, Tannehill has to execute it.
TRUTH
An’ that’s a night from me, lol.. ’cause they announced our flight, lol . Have a good one, guys, and may Gamblor always set the lines in your favour!
TRAITOR!
Oof. That’s embarrassing. I would hate to go into work the next day after that.
Why is KC’s mascot a decidedly insane looking coyote like thing?
Only animal coach wouldn’t try to eat
Damnit.
Lol, you both get half credit.
Well they brainstormed something like Chief Wahoo but decided that their racism would be the tomahawk chop.
which is extra inappropriate because the “Chief” actually is supposed to refer to the nickname of a KC mayor (their excuse for name not being raycess)
It was hard to find a mascot that Andy Reid wouldn’t eat.
Well the white guy in war paint riding the horse was … problematic
“Tyreek? That dog don’t hunt but he sure can pee!”
-B. Clinton
We can has game? WE CAN HAS GAME.
Mahomes up on the Hill?
HEY I’M TRYING!!!!
Unrelated: You guys think Bill Burr’s age-appropriate for 10 year olds?
yes
Showing him the Philadelphia Incident, eh?
Nah, Paper Tiger netflix special.
That guy’s not hurt, he’s giving his defense a rest.
/no clue, but never trust the Belichick coaching tree
THAT’S RACIST!
This is gonna be a GREAT FOOKIN’ GAME
Big if true
Mahomes will get this first down in any way possible.
Just like Darren Sharper and third base.
Mahomes ability to make quick, accurate reads v. Tit Men being best squadron in League at disguising their defensive calls.
How many timeouts can Andy Reid use RIGHT NOW
ALL OF THEM!
Time outs, or KFC Famous Bowls
Coach Reid would never lose count of something so important as KFC Famous Bowls.
Yes.
/laboured breathing intensifies
How many ya got?
So, seriously, how many do I have? — Andy
Geaux for it
Mahomes-y getting happy feet
Rex Ryan arches an eyebrow
Are you fucking kidding me, Mahomes?
Mahomes: No
Mahomes are burning down?
(funny from this week’s Harley Quinn episode)
Scarecrow: “Welcome to the Legion of Doom! Here you can see statues of all the heavy hitters: Sinestro. Lex Luther. Roger Goodell. Oh, FYI, we stand for the anthem here.”
Titans looking like they’ll have the time of possession victory so far
Do you know who else won the time of possession and lost? Josef Fritzl.
Even if Tennessee win this whole thing, they’re going to say its counts for Belichick because Vrabel played for the Pats.
Well, at least the Chiefs have Tyreek doing the dog peeing thingy during the player intros…
I mean, it worked so well for Johnny Reb in the Egg Bowl…
Dat Andy Reid playoff magic
Huge statement drive forthcoming from Pour One Out for Mahomes
They never stuck, but I enjoyed the dfo attempt at nicknaming Mahomes:
https://www.doorfliesopen.com/2018/10/09/37457/
So, if by some miracle (and allowed by a just God) the Tits win, what will Andy Reid bitch about next? Last year it was that it was unfair that after his team couldn’t stop the Pats in OT, that it was unfair that he wasn’t allowed to be bailed out by a generational talent like Mahomes?
“Doug made me the OC but won’t let me call plays. What the fuck?”
24-0 was erased in a quarter
against a Buttchinski-coached squadron
Yeah, the Texans shitting the bed is like … the norm. It’s like expecting Andy Reid to panic and to horribly mismanage his time-outs !
Feel like there’s a constant danger of a Tannehill collapse
Eh, after serving his full sentence in Miami, he’s owed a good season by the football gods…
DonT Priapism Hour
“LOOK AWAY!”
What do you want him to do? Cut it off?

Here’s my souvenir pin the pilot of the SR-71gave the camera crew. He carried them in his spacesuit pocket during the flight. They took off from Edwards AFB and flew north, turned right at the Canadian border, turned right over North Dakota, turned right over Texas, turned right over San Diego, and landed back at Edwards. The whole flight took 90 minutes.
Used to watch them take off from Kadena back in the ’80’s. Awesome departure, for sure. Get to altitude quick, get some gas, then go higher. Everything about them was badass.
I mean, if you’re the underdog, you need to use all four downs right?
I don’t have a joke here, I just don’t understand why that’s not conventional wisdom in the NFL (beyond the usual inherent conservatism/fear of NFL coaches/front offices).
Jonnu do it himself!
Arthur Smith shouldn’t be calling plays for the Titans. He should be doing your taxes.
To be fair, he’s not usually coaching this late in the season, so he’ll still get your taxes done. You don’t need that refund that quickly, do you?
Nope. It hit the ground.
Damn, Hulu. I’m five minutes behind you guys.
Livestreams are less laggy
Like pirated ones
Yes, I’ve heard that some are quite adequate!
Good decision. 47 yards in this weather a bad value proposition
Never trust anyone named Arthur
Could have gotten nigh 3-to-1 on Tit Men to start the week
Chiefs D too amped up.
“Neutral Zone Infraction,” that’s why American football never took of in Switzerland. Well that and the lack of Nazi gold.
Sudetenland FTW!
“Neutral Zone Infraction” is also a Star Trek writer’s fallback when they can’t think of a new plot.
Ads featuring athletes should not be aired during games in which that athlete is participating.
Tanny Fanny reprieve!
That’s gotta be incomplete.
Please.
Season 3 of Fansville: This time, the meteor wins.
Close but no cigarro.
Not a pickerception
Welcome back, Ryan Tannehill
Opossum Tail El Tractorcito is modern day Jim Brown.
/without the lady punching
KC has more men in the box than a Lego mass grave.
If this ain’t go on the banner, I just don’t have any clue what ppl like
I feel like “… than a gang bang” would appeal more to this crowd.
It’s important that we remember what the Chefs did to the imaginary Houston team before we get excited over a few drives
I’ll watch Survivor when they actually have to kill each other off until there’s only one left.
Ooh, can we make it a Survivor – Congressional Edition … You send everyone that was voted outta office (or “resigned” just before an election loss), with the last person standing getting a primo lobbying position for Halliburton? 😀
