I mean it was undeniable. A no call there and the refs need security to get off the field

It's not fair that the Bengals aren't allowed to drape themselves over receivers

LMAO

That is plausible, however, play calling the entire game was poor.

We seemed to be calling plays like someone other than Mahomes was playing QB. Yeah, he has two bad picks, but where were the slants to Rice like last week, or anything over the middle, down the seem, etc?

Maybe I am wrong, but when we called pass plays, they seemed to be very timid calls, and almost conceding that the offensive line couldn't block anyone.


I love that we won, but we needed an unlikely fumble return, and a DPI on 4th & 16. This was not a stellar performance by the offense or defense, but special teams showed up for sure.

What a finish to a messy game.

People will complain about KC needing the refs and ignore the fact Cincy was nearly gifted the game.

Romo had that whole Burrow owns Mahomes narrative queued up then DAGGER

Ugly as hell. Whatever. We pulled it out.

Delicious

Seeing the rage of Chase and Burrow at the end of the game will make me sleep like an angel tonight! ROFL

3 turnovers. Our biggest gainers called back on penalties. Still won and yes that was PI.

The media hate fuels me. Embrace this shit as Chiefs fans because we are fans living in special times.

They should blame Joe Burrow's fumble. That was the ultimate difference in the game. Freebie 6 points for Kansas City out of nowhere.

I agree, but people are ****ing stupid when it comes to these things.

The feeling when that yellow came flying in is why you watch. The thrill of victory

So was the one they didn't call!
Screw Cincinatti, Screw the Frosty headed Burrow, and Screw cry baby Chase!

Yep. CROSBY & BOSA are licking their chops!

Yeah, people can talk all day about bang-bang plays and just let them play... and then when it's your team, not calling a DPI is the worst thing in the world.

And it was clearly DPI, just like the non-call earlier in the game... just because they're only a quarter second earlier doesn't negate they were early.

Plus Garrett, Watt, the other Bosa. Lots of great pass rushers we'll be facing all season. This was ugly and Kingsley looked much better last season.

Welcome to the NFL.

Tiggers bounce

Gotta win ugly if you're going to 3peat. I'll take it

That was rough; the kid's 21 years old. They need to help him out. Andy will get it figured out

If we do the 3-peat, Kingsley will be a different player at the end of the year.

I ****ing love the villain role. Man other teams fans are so delusional about this. Clear dpi I mean he catches that shit if he didn't get an elbow to the back of his helmet.

Chiefs are the Super Bowl opponent for every single team on the schedule. Gonna get the "A game" performance from everyone else, and KC will have to battle through it. Obviously these are some major points of emphasis as the season goes along:

1. Protect the ball. Fewer turnovers please!
2. Better OL performance, especially LT.
3. Gain more experience for rookie WR & LT
4. Cover & Tackle better on defense
5. Stronger pass rush (Omenihu could help)

Hendrickson has been a pain in our ass for years

no matter who we have trotted out there

Pacheco is prob ****ed up for next week

Made up for the terrible call against Wanya. We win if thar wasn't called too.

It’s a real bummer that Hollywood got hurt.

We’ll be fine, but we were really counting on him to unlock more of the offense. Without him, I just don’t see how the receiving group is that much better than last year. Worthy is nice but he’s still a rookie and you can’t expect to rely on him too heavily yet.

Feels like we may be in for another sort of grind it out/sluggish year on offense which stinks.

Meanwhile the other fans are totally cool with the Chiefs losing huge plays on back to back drives from penalties. Kelce had a 41 yard gain called back, effectively a 50+ yard penalty. Before the 4th and 16 DPI on Cincy, the Chiefs had a big gainer play called back to put them in 4th & 16 to begin with. Other fans want Chief games to look like this:

KC Chiefs - 20 penalties for 200+ yards
Opponent - 0 penalties for 0 yards

Mahomes has to make it that far so its not just Kingsley learning on the job

It’s because he’s a ****ing beast. Hate the Bengals but I can appreciate his play.

God I love this team

The amount of mental gymnastics some people were trying to do to say Likely’s foot was somehow in last week, despite obvious visual evidence that it wasn’t, is when I realized they really are all truly broken.

He's a dirty player which I'm not a fan of.

We played about as bad as you could possibly play offensively and still managed a W that's going to pay dividends in playoff seeding.

We know we have a serious problem at LT. Mahomes can't go pressing every play because he's automatically about to be killed at the snap, resulting in 3 passes being caught by the defenders.

Maybe drop a dime to Donovan Smith? See what he's up to.

To be fair, He drinks on is one of the top pass rushers in the game

Trey Hendrickson gave huge problems to Brady when he was in New Orleans as well. I wish we could have signed him.

I’ll be honest, there’s a side of me that said we ain’t gonna lose this…:LOL:

I thought we could be 0-2 at this point, but I’ll take this. LMAO

Pat had an off day 18/25 for under 200 is well below his par... yet we STILL won lol, thats just how good we are these days

Hendrickson had 17.5 sacks last year. Dude is one of the best

He drinks and drinks and drinks...

Long run, I think Kingsley will be OK. Short term that’s not a bad solution.:clap:

Nah Patrick had time just held to long. Maybe receivers couldn't get open. Anyway we have to move on from the old fatties.

Uh, Wanya did hit his face mask on his initial block.

Would fail steroid test. Has that Bill Romanowski look to him.

Yep

Yeah I think everyone needs to remember this. He played against a guy in his second game.

Yeah, things like the Bengals going for 4th and goal in almost a Staley fashion down by one... I think most teams, most games, they take the points there.

Those are the extra downs the defense has to deal with, unfortunately.

Yes and the PI call made up for that 1. If the PI was no call then that was too and we still win. Even reading Bengals fans that saying the PI was a penalty is shocking

So Brandon Staley isn't stupid?

yeah. if he doesn't pi, it's probably a catch too.

he was in a bad position for sure

He’s known as the BWillie of NFL coaches. You make the call.

151 yards passing with 2 picks Mahomes worst game and we still won because Mahomes.

Clean hit

Can someone translate this for me?

Oh he’s saying Williams ain’t done shit get compared to Pat ?

Mike Danna had a sneaky awesome game. Connor is the MVP in this one. :)

Underpaid by 40-50% as well. Very strong contract in favor of the Bengals front office compared to the player’s performance. He’s pretty motivated to get a big fat raise on the next contract, probably with another team in 2026.

Watched back and dear Lord, Williams was embarrassed on their second TD. Yikes. Nazeeh beaten fairly bad on the first. I thought Williams would step into that CB2 role but it's really been Watson's. Lucky McDuffie continues to be a stud.

He got lost, for sure, but I’d actually blame the defensive line a bit more for that play.

4th down and not one guy creates any single shred of pressure? Burrow could have taken a nap back there. Under no kind of pressure, it’s just pitch and catch.

Tough rep for the D line, especially Karlaftis.

Hope the guys don't mind but it was great meeting another CPer yesterday.

Here's a pic of myself with Vladimir_Kyrilytch and Mr Plow.

I own 2 of the 3 hats in that pic

Bengals have far more weapons than perceived. Higggins didn’t even play and Gisecki, All Jr, Burton all made plays as well as Iosivas who scored on us twice.

They’re still our biggest threat

They won't make the playoffs.

Baltimore probably will.

Their next 4 games are against the Commanders, Panthers, Giants and Ravens at home.

They’ll be 4-2 and back in it

Bengals have a softer schedule and probably a better defense. Better weapons for the QB as well. If Burrow stays healthy, I think Cincy ends up with a better season than Baltimore.

I wonder if Vlad ever made it up to Harrahs to play cards? He wanted me to meet up with him but I just didn't have the opportunity to.

They are good for a stupid, inexplicable loss in there.

They lost to the Patriots, so probably shouldn't just assume they go on a 4 game winning streak. They'll probably win those first 3, but that Ravens game will 100% be a toss up.

Which ones?

I need to know how cool you are. 😁

Left, and center. The wear the camo one a lot

Yeah man, Burrow with a limp wrist is still a better pure passer than Lamar... if they can clean some things up they're winning the AFCN

You assume they will win all 4 of those?
I could see them losing to the Ravens and maybe even Washington.

Ok then you are super cool. I love my camo one. 🙂

They play a losers schedule of QBs but some good defenses. We shall see.

That was a shit weapons group that moved it on us. Pure shit. McDuffie had Chase in hell though.

Not a good sign when turds like Yoshiivash, Giseki, Chase Brown, and All are running wild.

Their roster has a ton of holes. It was embarrassing struggling against them.
