NFL 2019 AFC Championship Game - Tennessee at Kansas City

[TheGreatBarryB]

i havent seen a 5-3 front employed by teams in recent games where henry went over 100-150 yards.

thought about, maybe, but employ, haven't seen.

I think a few teams have tried it. Could work, Pats went to five man front second half and I think were a little more successful. They respected the pass game though and limited Tannehill. Maybe that was a mistake. Not sure Chiefs D is up to it.

Pats were using a 6-1 front in the 2nd half from memory. Still not as much pressure on the secondary as a 5-3

Tennessee's offensive success comes down to how well Kansas City can manage the run game whilst also preventing getting gashed by the PA pass. KC allowed 6.3 YPA on PA passes, 4th best in the league, and whilst this is better than the 10th and 11th ranked Patriots and Ravens, those teams were much better against the run.

As for when KC has the ball, I don't think Tennessee has a chance. They were lucky to go against a porous offence in New England, and their performance in Baltimore has been vastly overrated. Their only chance is to pressure Mahomes 40%+ of the time, yet they've been 30th in pressure rate this season (25.1%), so that is unlikely. Vrabel is going to have to stand on his head with some creative pressures, and even then, the Titans secondary is prone to being burnt against the Chiefs receivers. This is in all likelihood going to be a track meet on this side of the ball. It will overwhelm Tennessee in the 2nd half.


TEN: 7 - 14 - 3 - .7. - 31
/KC: 7 - 10 - 7 - 14 - 38

Chiefs DVOA ranked 3rd
Titans DVOA ranked 4th
Texans DVOA ranked like 23rd or something

Chiefs were very fortunate against Texans, a better side would've not seen a comeback occur, and Chiefs sense of unstoppability overstated given how low ranked the Texans were.

Titans a very real threat

NFL App just popped up with “Titans perfect when Henry hits 100.” He’ll do that easily v KC unless they stack the box heavily.

These kind of stats are a bit irrelevant to me as most of the time as a team who is winning will run the ball a ton at the end of games and give their rb a very good chance to go over 100 yards.

Not so irrelevant with Henry but still not the be all and end all.

Any chance we can merge to two Champ threads into one?

Lol,we can't even get these threads stickied by Sunday and here you are asking for merging....

I thought there was a chance. we actually had Blacky in the Div round thread. He must of gone away again.

Also kinda shocked we dont have GG's Super Bowl thread up with the winners. They used to go up on something like the Friday before the Conference Championship games

The power has gone to his head. Ever since the promotion he has been here less and less.

I wonder how long it would take for a thread to be removed if it was titled something offensive.

GG.exe picks the Titans by 15+ in this thread but says the Chiefs win it in the sb one...

Pathetic.

Thats why you're pathetic.

you think itll be niners vs titans?

 

[aussiedude]

incoming NFL review that finds both teams cheated and didnt hide it well enough. the AFC forfeits the Super Bowl.

In the old days when GG made picks, even if they were silly at least he had some conviction about himself, I could respect it. None of this foot in both camps nonsense.

My logic. Just bet on KC to win the SB @ 2.30 today... and also SF to win @ 2.62.

And if not then at least KC didn't win. So I literally can not lose
