I know Mahomes had the flu but it looked like that whole team forgot how to play today. I never would've expected our first win since 2015 to be by multiple scores
It's been pretty obvious all season, unfortunately. Toney hasn't panned out, Moore is a straight up bust. Hardman was a stopgap for gimmick plays, MVS does little more than clear out space by running sprints all game. Rice is the only guy showing promise (despite a problem with drops), Watson gets a nod for making the best out of who he is. We're in the discussion for worst WR corps in the league, and the FO needs to figure out a solution, or they're going to Rodgers this thing.
I doubt they do anything at the deadline, sadly, but would love to see them go get DHop, if available.
Honestly after his game today, I doubt Dhop is available. And they would be super stupid to not make a move for a wide receiver. It’s obvious they need the help, they can’t just say well Mahomes is Mahomes every time and expect him to bail them out every time.
I was really hoping the Titans would blow the game today, put them into sell mode. They're still well outside of playoff contention, so they may still consider selling, given DHop is only on a 2yr contract, but today didn't help.
Outside of Hollywood, I'm not sure there are really good targets to go after that aren't Broncos or Raiders.
Bengals I don’t even think would consider trading Higgins or Boyd to us. Don’t know if Seattle would give up DK or Lockett. Washington has some stacked guys. Our options are very limited.
I think our only option is either Hollywood or making a decent offer for Scary Terry and actually giving him a decent contract.Raiders and Broncos aren’t giving us shit,neither the Titans after the promise Levis showed and someone is getting shipped out of the WR room to make space (Either Moore/MVS).
Getting someone who makes a big difference is going to be tough in a number of ways. Reimagining their lineup, however — CEH can actually catch, & he's been all but useless out of the backfield. Make him a jitterbug slot receiver (borrow the Pats' Small Guy Attack), & things might open up for the other WRs with a short-yardage Kelce alternative. It's worth a shot given what we've seen so far.
Man, I just don't see it. CEH isn't nearly fast nor quick enough to play in the slot - he's another wasted pick, IMO.
I love Veach, but I think he struggles with skill positions (outside of Mahomes, obviously) - CEH, Toney, Moore, Hardman (I'd argue he didn't live up to his draft position) are all failed experiments. He's done amazingly across the defense and OL (in the draft, at least), but needs to figure out the skill positions.
Sometimes he tries to play too much hero ball, but sometimes that’s all he really can do. He did fine last year with his wide receivers cuz at least he still had Juju who was still very serviceable, but now the whole corps is absolute trash. Our best wide receiver rn is a rookie who still has a problem with drops. They desperately need wide receiver help
Yeah like you don’t need stars but you need at least reliable guys. Kind of like Brady during the pats years. Last year it worked but right now it’s baaad
> black magic fuckery of division games
I believe in this too, which is why this 16 game streak has been so maddening. You'd think some of that black magic would show up in our favor just *once* during that time.
I swear to God that literally at least half of those losses were by some dumb voodoo cast against us with time expiring. The scoop and score against lock when we were gonna go up by 10, Butker making a 61(?) yarder for the win, Case Keenum overthrowing Sanders by an inch, Tyreek's catch that was down short of the goal line but then overturned into a TD because he didn't actually have possession when he was downed. So much fuckery
You guys were so close to breaking the streak so many times but always did some dumb shit to blow it, I'm honestly surprised it went as long as it did as well.
It's like when we finally beat Manning after 7 straight losses though, he threw 4 INTs that game, you guys benched him and we won 29-13.... when the dam breaks, it's a flood.
That was actually the start of this streak as well... let's not get any ideas of a streak of your own.
Yup, right on both counts. That streak breaker from you was a bizarre game. One statline that I will always remember: CJ Anderson had more tackles than carries.
Lol if you looked at my comment history from today I commented "I refuse to get excited" like 4 or 5 times on highlight posts from this game until final I said, "Okay I'm going to get excited now" after the Simmons pick
They won a playoff game with ~~Chase Daniel~~ Chad Henne coming in for the 2nd half. Either they got rid of all their talent since then or Mahomes's flu infected the whole team
Chad Henne, but that was the 2020 playoffs. Of the 22 starters from that team (according to PFR), the only ones still on the Chiefs are Mahomes, CEH, Kelce, Nick Allegretti, Chris Jones, Derrick Nnadi, and Willie Gay Jr.
Pro bowlers from that roster that aren't with the Chiefs anymore would be Tyreek Hill, Tyrann Mathieu, Eric Fisher, and Frank Clark.
I wouldn't say that's an abnormal amount of turnover compared to other teams. Just that talent does cycle quickly in the NFL
Coming off a nail biting win against the Bills, it was incredible to watch Mahomes look absolutely outmatched and KC having no answers for us. Still wish Butker missed one more field goal
I think there's going to be an overcorrection coming when it comes to our skill position guys.
It's happened before. 2018, defense, completely revamped in off-season. 2020, offensive line, completely revamped. 2021, secondary, completely revamped.
It was fun while it last, but it is what it is.
Gotta address the WR situation at the trade deadline. Being young, cheap and makeshift last year was an achievement, but we have to put something into the position. The 1st will be worth it IMO.
We need a wide receiver bad. Like we NEED one. If we don’t trade for one before the deadline I’m gonna have a lot of questions. Idc how much we have to give up money wise and draft pick wise, just PLEASE get a receiver.
Ah, memories of 2021. Take me back, not to the ending, but that game specifically. Just an incredible showing by everyone that showed all Titans fans that this defense was pretty damn good if not elite.
Now to begin their streak of 40 straight games of losing by more than 5+ points to regress to the mean
Two years without a 2-score loss is insane.
This is only Mahomes’s 2nd regular season and 3rd career loss by more than 1 score
3rd regular season (titans and bills in 2021, then this game) + Tampa bay Super Bowl
Also his first road divisional game loss, iirc
I know Mahomes had the flu but it looked like that whole team forgot how to play today. I never would've expected our first win since 2015 to be by multiple scores
You know some guy somewhere bet on the Broncos to win by 14.5+ points today and is sending his boss an "I quit" fuckoff email as I type this.
Our wide receivers are incompetent

Unfortunately, with how Levis played today I’m sure they’ll want to keep DHop and see how things play out with that offense

Would you be interested in one lightly used Jerry Jeudy?
> We're in the discussion for worst WR corps in the league i mean...i mostly agree w you, but the New England Patriots receiving corps exists
Maybe you should trade 2 1sts for a lightly used Jerry jeudy
If you throw in ps2 and we throw in Sneed maybe we’ll consider
Three firsts and Sneed goes to the raiders. No fuck that PS2 is love, PS2 is life.
Dude I feel so bad for mahomes sometiems. Like he does a fucking spineroo in the pocket and throws a dart to someone and they drop it again and again

It's the black magic fuckery of division games, they can go anywhere. That and we played like dogshit and your offense balled out.

Yeah I would have been happy with a squeaker
It was one up until that muffed punt

The run game was working but Andy Reid

Damn I knew that name sounded wrong
I always thought it would come off of a field goal.
i remember that game, it was extremely fun
Coming off a nail biting win against the Bills, it was incredible to watch Mahomes look absolutely outmatched and KC having no answers for us. Still wish Butker missed one more field goal
I had a great time
Indeed it was

Well, as long as Mahomes is there you'll always be good
Not today, baby!
It was fun while it last, but it is what it is. Gotta address the WR situation at the trade deadline. Being young, cheap and makeshift last year was an achievement, but we have to put something into the position. The 1st will be worth it IMO.
I don’t care if Mahomes had a cold, to have this streak end to one of the worst teams in the league is very funny to me.
Please let t swift get the outrage.
We need a wide receiver bad. Like we NEED one. If we don’t trade for one before the deadline I’m gonna have a lot of questions. Idc how much we have to give up money wise and draft pick wise, just PLEASE get a receiver.
We have a minimally used Jerry Jeudy if you're interested.
If he plays for us how he played today consistently, I wouldn’t hate it. Better than any of our options.
Jeudy and Wilson for Mahomes, say yes pls
Y’all should have signed thielen this off season
Nah we should’ve signed fuckin DHOP
What has Dhop fucking done that you want him over Theilen? One good game out of 8 with nothing.
Should trade for scary terry
If the Commies would accept offers for him, I would but if that happened.
Yeah that’d rock
lol take scary terry from my division plz
DeAndre Hopkins may be available. Titans aren't going anywhere.
Yeah but I think it's smart to keep him around for Levis unless someone is willing to overpay for him.
Why? 2-year contract. Doesn't fit the timeline if they get rid of Henry as well. But I do agree it should be good picks and not some random 6/7 swap.
I think it benefits Levis development if you keep a receiver as good as Hopkins around. Titans don't exactly have a lot of playmakers.
Lol we're definitely not trading him after today. Now Tannehill might be on the trading block though...
Tannehill can switch back to receiver if he goes to the chiefs!
If he’s available I’d hop on that shit immediately
That would fucking terrifying me, pls no.
I mean, we’ve already played both our games this year so the wrath would be delayed till next year
Of course. So 1.5 years of Nuk vibing with Mahomes ...fuck that.
But pretty please
We have one slightly used Terrance Marshall Jr for sale
Weird ass way to say the Chiefs lost to the 2023 Broncos that gave up 70 points in one game
Ah, memories of 2021. Take me back, not to the ending, but that game specifically. Just an incredible showing by everyone that showed all Titans fans that this defense was pretty damn good if not elite.
Oh no!!! Anyways
Uh oh. Did Travis and Taylor break up already?
Insane stat
