I don’t blame Butker too much. 55 yards is no chip shot and kicking was a losing decision anyway.
That was 4 down territory imo (at least from that yardage), so it would’ve been a great time to run on 3rd. Worst case, set up a shorter 4th. |

And dropping Karlaftis is part of zone blitz concepts. As I said above it looks really bad when it doesn't work, but we've gotten a lot of big plays doing it, like a lot of Sneed's pressures and sacks. |

But it's not a "we're not good enough" issue, it's a "we didn't execute well enough" issue. We have areas in which we're not good enough; we're not good enough up front on either side of the ball right now, is where I would start with that determination. Still good enough to win MOSTLY, but not against the other elite teams. And make no mistake, Cinci has beaten us 3 times in 13 months-if we're elite, they are elite. |

Chase should have been doubled up on every single down and the fact he wasn't was a total fail. Too many downs with Bengals receivers running wide open. Coverage fails. The Bengals can get in with just 3-4 while the Chiefs can't wait 5+ because there are coverage fails allover. It's easy to blame the player, but should you blame the player when they are given an impossible assignment? This is Spags 4th year and the Defense is still trending in the wrong direction. That should be flashing glaring warning signals. |
Did anyone notice Justin Reid was in the game? I didn't see much of anything from him. Maybe keep that mouth shut next time. The guy has been a bit of a disappointment along with the Jaun and only.

IDK, game was a wash both ways. Mahomes didn't touch the ball at the end of the game. Kelce got mugged. The end.

They seemed to have receivers literally teleporting wide open, it happened over and over again... largely a result of our lack of pressure
Other than that yeah #9 sticks out for sure, we needed to keep Burrow off the field and Pacheco was flexing tonight... maybe keep running him to help the defense? |
The single thing I'm really pissed at is we didn't run some creative new blitz packages just for this game.
We all knew Burrow can't have a lot of time and yet we got little to no pressure all game. Spags blitzes were obvious. Why no blitz from Sneed or anyone else? I think we tried Bolton once and he almost made it. |
Also Burrow and his receivers made some incredible throws/catches in tight coverage.
That last play of 3rd and 11 was pretty impressive. |

Cincinnati is just a bad draw for us. |
