Bengals getting revenge for us

[Steptide]

I keep seeing these kinda posts come up on Twitter. I find it kind of weird as the Bengals and their fan base really have no connection to us outside the Dalton thing. However, if it gives them any extra motivation to beat the cheifs, then go Bengals 

 

 

[ProcessTruster]

KC will destroy the Bengals, just as we would have.   SB was already played last Sunday.

Ya I agree, but hey you never know. They beat them at the end of the season 

[Greg S]

I think if any team can beat KC its LA. Stafford isn't on Mahomes level but he is pretty good. The Rams have an explosive offense just like the Chiefs. Where the Rams can give the Chiefs fits is they can get to Mahomes with their front 4 like Tampa did. Donald and Miller are game changers. I don't see the Bengals winning in KC even though Burrow and that offense will make plays. SF won't beat KC with Jimmy G as their QB. I know they won at GB but the Packers choked. Rodgers for all of his great QB play has a less than impressive playoff record.

I...don't really want Cinci to beat KC.

There. I said it.

 

I want KC to be afraid of one team, and one team only. The Bills.

Ya that's one of things that frustrates me. I feel like it's gonna be kc and rams in the superbowl and the rams are gonna pressure the bleep out of Mahomes and frustrate him. It's what I wanted the bills to do (at least partially) but for whatever reason the bills won't blitz Mahomes 

[VaMilBill]

I don’t like Joe Burrow. Guy seems like a cocky do&@he. I want the Rams to win SB at this point. 

[skibum]

Everyone is acting like this will be a layup for the Chiefs, but you never know. Cincy is red hot right now, anything can happen.

Possible but Cincy has the fire power.

[Sharky7337]

I'm totally all for Cinci beating them.

The Bills (like most teams) don't have anyone close to Donald and Miller on the DL. I do think LA can beat KC. CIN and SF not so much. I hope the Bengals win this Sunday but I doubt it.

[Mango]

Meh. Normally I’m pro our rivals getting their teeth kicked in. But after a game like Sunday I wouldn’t mind KC just cruising through.

 

It would pretty much solidify us as the second best team in the league. 
 

I do think it will be tough for any team to get up for another game after the one we just saw Sunday. 

[Chaos]

Cincy winning will mean having to hear every Sunday next year about Josh is behind Mahomes and Burrows.  I can’t take that 

[Peace Frog]

Personally, I find Mahomes sort of down to Earth annoying (if that makes sense).  However, it's Hill I can't stand.  I wouldn't mind seeing someone poach the cheetah.

[streetkings01]

Rather the Chiefs go to the Super Bowl and lose it again 🤷🏽‍♂️

Because he’s the best QB in the league vs the blitz. He will beat it. The rams will pressure him without needing to blitz. The Bills pressured him too without blitzing (40% of his dropbacks), but only 2 sacks. Part of that was Mahomey elusiveness and pure talent, part our lack of elite pass rushers. Rams have that so they should get to him more.

I mean they barely beat the Raiders and the Titans in their first two playoff games.  I don't know if I would consider that red hot.  I know they beat KC towards the end of the regular season but in the playoffs you have every team throwing the kitchen sink out there in these games, I don't think they can keep up with KC at their best(or if it was Us either for that matter)

The Chiefs knew what they were doing to finish out the season ,  they lost so they could finish below Buffalo and have the easiest road to the ECF'S.  Raiders were a joke and everyone knew Titans were a fake #1 seed.  The way Allen was playing ,  they would havre smoked the Titans because Henry did not look 100% playing with plate in his foot.

I agree - Cincy reminds me a bit of last year’s Bills. Their offense was unstoppable toward the end of the reg season but kind of squeaked by the first two playoff games and their OL is a disaster. Week 21 and get still have miscommunication issues, and Burrow also taking bad sacks as a result of waiting too long on plays to develop. That’s going to really make the difference in arrowhead. And if you think Mahomes ate Dane Jackson alive, let’s see what he does to Eli apple.

Yep I think the Bengals are a good team but they are still a year away from jumping into that legitimate Super Bowl contender status.  There's a lot of parallels to where we were last year.  Will make things even more competitive for our quest to get back to the Super Bowl next year.

[Dave in Avon Lake now]

Cincy will get better, but they are not on the Chiefs level.  It will be interesting to see if KC plays the Rams in Super Bowl and Rams win in their home stadium.  KC deserves to suffer the same fate as last year.

It comes down to 2 things. 

 

1) Mahomes is very good against the Blitz, both scrambling and throwing

2) Team speed. The Bills don't have the speed to match Hill, Hardman and Kelcie consistently 

[YoloinOhio]

Don’t get me wrong - I’ll be cheering wildly for Cincy to pull it off. I like burrow and would love to see the chiefs lose. I just think in addition to everything else, zac Taylor is inexperienced and a bad gameday coach. That matchup with Reid is going to be an issue. 

[zow2]

Part of me thinks that if Gabe Davis was able to carve up the Chiefs secondary so will J'Mar Chase and company.  It's possible that KC, coming off an emotional high will not play at the level we saw last Sunday night.  That's probably the only chance Cincinnati has.  I would have had the same concerns about the Bills had they held on for 13 freakin' seconds.

Disagree. Josh showed the entire football world how great he is. I think if anything it will McDermott getting criticized and being called out as not being as good a HC as Reid and Taylor.

[filthymcnasty08]

Nice of them to think of us.

 

KC looking "super" - tough task ahead.

[Since1981]

Chiefs are donating $13 to hospital. 
It really has a whiff of poor taste by using the numeral 13 instead of say 17. 

Please let’s never be that way!

 

I don’t know how these donations start but let’s keep ourselves classy. 13 is rubbing it in.

There. I said it.

I'm torn, KC is on the trajectory of the Pats so there's a growing hatred there but is it weird that I dont want cincy out of jealousy? 

[HOUSE]

I am NOT sending any money to Cincinnati SHOULD the Chiefs lose

 

Get that thought out of your head.....geeez

[Buffalo Ballin]

We need to be the team to beat the 2 time Super Bowl Champs, Kansas City Chiefs. Yes, they will win it all this year. Tom Brady is gone and whoever emerges from the NFC will not be great AND experienced enough to beat them.

 

Cincy is too young and lacks experience to overcome Mahomes Magic. Joe Burrow is ok, but he's not elite right now. He's gonna get sacked a lot. Their best receiver, WR Ja'marr Chase, is a rookie. The Bengals will lose at the AFC title game. I'm 99% sure of this.

Because he kills the blitz. I know Tampa blitzed him, but that game last year was against such a ragged Chiefs oline you can throw it out IMO. Generally the teams that have success get to him but they get there with 4. It isn't only the Bills who don't blitz him. Vic Fangio likes to blitz as a rule and didn't blitz once in the first half week 18. 

 

Blitzing Mahomes is not the recipe.

The difference is the Rams consistently get pressure with their front 4 - specifically in the middle with Donald and on the edge with Miller.  I love both players but Oliver and Hughes don’t compare.

I don’t think so. I agree. Don’t want them to take the next step before we do. I guess it’s nice that they want us to jump on the bandwagon but I, for one, will be staying off

[DrDawkinstein]

Bengals remind me of a team somewhere in between the 2019 and 2020 Bills.

 

Selfishly, as much as I like Burrow and the Bengals, and hate Mahomes and the Chiefs, I'm kinda pulling for the Chiefs. Just because I dont want Burrow getting to a Super Bowl before Josh.

Agreed, keep your sympathy. Win if they want but I'd do it for the Bengals not the Bills.

Except Chase is their #1 target, and the Chiefs effectively shut down our #1 (Diggs) and #2 (Knox).

 

Davis could have had 6 TDs and 400 yds had Daboll recognized earlier that Matthieu was injured and started feeding Davis right away. Instead, he saw their top Safety go down and decided it would be good to keep running it with Singletary.

I agree that the Rams can beat KC.  They are susceptible to imploding, but if they don't... that defense has game wreckers up front that we just don't have, and on offense, they are basically us without the QB mobility.  

 

I still believe the winner of Bills/Chiefs wins the Super Bowl, and it will be sickening to look back and remember that it was decided by a coin toss, but the Rams do have a shot.

This is true. KC and Buffalo are the 2 best teams in the league. And they will be for awhile. Kinda makes these remaining games anticlimactic. 

[zow2]

Saw the stat that playoff teams who win in OT are only 7-18 the following week.   Not sure how that will play out, and the fact KC won the "best game ever".  They could be emotionally drained for this game against Cincinnati.
