Agreed.
From top to bottom our D is better. They may not have the aggregate experience, but they're faster, younger, more athletic (particularly at LB and CB) and i believe they're smarter overall. They're still going to make some mistakes, because of their relative youth/inexperience, but they'll make up for it through their other attributes.
Bottom line, I don't think CIN can attack our defense the way they did the last two times with the same kinds of success. I think they'll be in for a disappointing shock if they try to play KC the way they did last time.
I should say here though, that their fanbase isn't coaching the Bengals or in any way are they responsible for how CIN gameplans against KC. So I doubt that Zac Taylor and co. are reading the Bengals message forum for ideas on how to play the Chiefs.
