Raiders are top 10 in points per play too.

I think it might be more important to get the 1 seed this year than most. This young defense needs to feed off Arrowhead.

If you compare the two Bengals games from last year, the defense in KC was much better than the game in Cincinnati. In Cincinnati, they did whatever they wanted, similar to this year. There was a lot more resistance in KC. I’d expect something similar if they come to Arrowhead again. But this time, the offense won’t shit the bed because they’ve had plenty of time to figure out the Bengals’ defense.

our ends need that crowd noise step

Classic Andy Reid cost the Chiefs a Super Bowl trip last year. Up 18 points in the playoffs and the run game is feasting. How many other coaches blow that scenario? You can blame the 2013 and 2017 playoff meltdowns on Alex Smith and Bob Sutton, but they weren't here last year. Reid is the common denominator.

That wasn't Reid's fault. That was on Mahomes.

Reid called an RPO at the end where Mahomes probably should have handed it off!

Most people refer to that as reality.

Stats can be misleading. The Chiefs often allow crappy teams to hang around until very late. The killer instinct isn't there from Reid's teams.

Um, to be precise, KC had a 17-point lead vs. JAX until late in the game, when Pat threw an INT and gave JAX a short field that allowed them to score a garbage time TD, but the game was over by that time. The Chiefs beat the Rams by 16, and SEA by two TDs.

This is a good KC team, but they’re not a super team. Why would you expect them to consistently beat teams by 30? They don’t have the defense, OL or receiving weapons to expect constant beatdowns.

If the Bills beat Cincy on Monday night, does Andy rest starters in week 18?

No way. We needed a miracle in 2019 to get the 2 seed. He played he starters anyway.

Agreed.

The AFCCG is about 73% Mahomes fault. He plays his average game in the second half and the Chiefs win by 20pts.

Why would you a) put the playoff bye week in peril and b) if KC wins Week 18, you have a bye to rest starters before Round 2?

.....what even is this question?

It's still on Reid by going by his philosophy of " there is a time and place for such things"

He should've kicked the FG the Chiefs had a 17 point lead.

It would’ve only been a 14 point lead, but probably enough for us to win 27-24 at the buzzer

yes, but they allowed mahomes to take over the game

and that's what everyone here wants :LOL:

reid didn't blow shit

Are you assuming we lose to the Broncos on Sunday? If not, go look at the records and reconsider your question.

KC only gets a bye if they win out and the Bills drop one. There is no longer a second bye. 1 seed or bust in regards to the bye.

I'm not gonna waste time arguing the merits of crappy QBs. It is what it is. You play who they put in front of you. yadda yadda yadda.

I think the Bengals still don't get the respect that the Chiefs and Bills do, because the Bengals have only been "doing it" since about the KC game last year through now. I see that narrative changing after this year, though the gap has been closing fast the last 6 weeks.

I don't agree with the excuses in the KC game and we can revisit this after the MN game.

The Bengals FO has already stated that the reason they finally sold the naming rights to the stadium was aimed at being able to keep Burrow, Chase, Higgins and Boyd. Even if they lose Higgins (probable) or Boyd (less likely), they have a long history of drafting WRs in the 2nd round, so that's 3-4 more years of rookie contract there.

They have work to do with navigating contracts when your QB gets a sack because they didn't do it quite so well after they paid Carson Palmer. Different time, different FO structure now so the hope is higher this time. FTR, there is no word i despise more than "hope" when it comes to my team.

Burrow is just as elusive as Mahomes and Allen but he's not quite as good running after leaving the pocket.

That's 3 big ifs though with playoff RB8 (sucks), Herbert (never in a playoff atmosphere) and Tua (may not play again this year).

Even if Tua plays, he's one hit away from being out of the game.

:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

The Bengals do the same thing and that due to one reason in both cases. The HC finally has to just let the QB do what the QB does.

Burrow as elusive as Mahomes....LMAO

As some have said the biggest issue with the 2 seed is who you would have to play. The potential good news is it looks like the Chargers won't be the 7 seed. At one point it looked like KC would have to go...
Chargers
Bengals
Bills

to get to the SB. That's pretty rough. At least that first game would be easier now.

And maybe the Chargers knock off the Bills or Bengals. At first it was looking like the 1 seed was going to have to go
bye
Ravens/Jags/Titans
Bills/Chiefs/Bengals depending on who the 1 seed is obviously

now it looks like
bye
Jags/Chargers
Bills/Chiefs/Bengals

Over the past 2 weeks the difference between the 1 and 2 seeds has shrunk slightly but obviously the bye, home field, and not having to play 2 of the 3 top teams is still a big bonus.

OK, I'm going to say it.

I think Cincy is due for a loss and it's coming Monday night.

This isn't because Buffalo is better but they are catching them at the right time.

Buffalo fans are going to think this is their year.

We are going to stomp out Cincinnati then go to Buffalo.

In the AFC Championship Pacheco is going to run wild and we are going back to our 3rd Super Bowl in 4 years.

Mahomes pressure to sack % - 10.9
Allen pressure to sack % - 14.9

Burrow's first 8 games, where he was adjusting to a new line and adapting to the various forms of cover 2, had P2S% of around 40.

The last 7 games he's at 14.2

Last 7 games, Mahomes sacked 8 times in 249 att.
Last 7 games, Burrow sacked 10 times in 259 att.

Keep laughing.

It's good to know that only Joe Burrow has to adjust to 'various forms of cover 2' and that should allow you to ignore those stats. And does Mahomes get a pass for adjusting to an entire stable of new WRs?

Fantasy land is a wonderful place, no?

He gets a pass for whatever he deserves.

I clearly pointed out that Burrow was as "elusive" as the other two, but not as good of a runner after leaving the pocket.

I can't control what someone else cherry picks. I can only mock it afterward.

As long as you acknowledge that Burrow is objectively not as “elusive” as Mahomes absent some heavy cherrypicking, we’re good.

this only means your OL improved dumbass

Maybe it's the wording...

Burrow isn't as mobile as Mahomes or as big and fast as Allen. He is able to manipulate the pocket and extend plays in the pocket as well as those two.

The oline has only marginally improved over the course of the season. Burrow being over the knee and trusting his legs more is what it means, shithead.

The Ravens were in 1st place in your division before Lamar got hurt.

They even beat you in your game earlier this year, no?

Also no.

Yeah, but playoff lamar is a different lamar.

Also yes.

Mark it down.

Joe Burrow will end his career with more MVPs and SBs than Mahomes.

he's been blessed with the best receivers in the NFL and is up and down constantly LMAO

good QB, even elite, but mahomes would put up 60 TDs with those receivers, and lose one game a year with your defense

What a dipshit

You tell me the amount you’d like to wager and we can exchange contact information offline.

Spoiler: Burrow is only 10 months younger than Mahomes and he’s down 0-1 in SBs and will be 0-2 in MVPs shortly.

And if Mahomes had a dick, he'd be your aunt.

If he lives in some shithole like ohio, you’re going to need to be able to accept EBT cards.

bengals fans lose one super bowl and think they are a dynasty in the making LMAO

no, you're just going through your ken anderson-cum-boomer esiason phase

it's like the cycles of the moon, once every 35 years the bengals get to lose a super bowl! or maybe even two!

how many yards and TDs do you think burrow puts up throwing to our receivers? :LOL:

Mark it down.. The Bengals will fall back into the cellar when your broke ass owner Mike Brown will struggle paying Burrow and others and not getting to pick in the top 5 every year...

I actually predicted Burrow would have more touchdowns than Mahomes this year, because his receiving corps (three #1 caliber receivers) is much better. Yet he’s being outperformed by Pat. ROFL

Joe has a lot of catching up to do to surpass Mahomes in these awards. That Cincy offense won’t ever be more talented than now

:rolleyes:

Mahomes at 27 about to take home his second. Burrow at 26 has yet to get one.

Bengals about to enter salary cap purgatory in a couple years when they have to pay Burrow, Chase, Higgins, etc. One of them will be gone likely.

We’ll see how great Burrow is when he’s making $40+ mil. cap hits every year and less of a team around him.

Eeeeewwwww look at dumbass with the big internet guarantee. I’m sure you’ll be LONG ****img gone by the time Joey realizes that most quarterbacks who lose their first SB never win one. Once the Bungles fall back into their regular form of mediocrity, r****34 will be just another loser on a Bungles board talking about the good old days.

Combined, i currently have 3.3M in savings, i have just short of another half M in my portfolio, half of that i can't actually touch right now and i have around 2.5M in liquid assets, houses, cars, bikes, etc.

So, can you cover around 4.5M? I can't put it all on the line since i'll need something in the unlikely even i lose the bet.

At least as many as Patty. Probably more. Lately, Burrow has been throwing tuddys to Mitchell Wilcox and Trenton Irwin. Lots of them. Ever even heard of those guys?

you and dicklicks absolutely deserve the humble pie mahomes will be serving this postseason

I was a managing director at Goldman Sachs at 30 and have been a portfolio manager at a hedge fund for the last decade.

Do you think your number is too big for me?

I will be right here, reminding you every day that Patty was a good little QB, but Burrow is the new GOAT.

Every.****ing.Day.

P.S. Elway lost 3 SBs before winning his two. "most qbs" doesn't matter to Burrow.

your studs have 22 of his 34 TDs LMAO

mahomes has thrown 22 TD to guys not named kelce or juju

let's not get it twisted, our offenses are an inversion of each other

Sooooo, if Burrow is more elusive than Pat, how does he have 80 more yards lost to sacks? Weird, right?

Mahomes top 2 WRs are MVS and JJSS, and they’ve both missed time with injury. Still #1 in total offense

Don’t even try to pretend that Burrow has had less help this year. Arguably the best weapons in the AFC, only Miami is close

Mahomes will go home this year without a SB trophy.

The two guys that were ****ing your whore mother last night?

he gets to cradle one every night, try again

And you will go your entire life without seeing one, just like every loser team in your ugly shithole state.

Something Cincy has been looking for for 55 seasons.

But no cigar.

0-3

lmao

Oh, I see it now. Joe's been sacked 15 more times than Mahomes. But, isn't the argument that Burrow is just as/more elusive than Pat? Then how has he been sacked 15 more times and lost 80 more yards than Mahomes?

Seems contradictory to say the least . . .

Maybe.

But so will Burrow.

Pat will be taking home his second MVP trophy, though. Maybe Burrow will be fortunate to get one of those some day . . . . .

Doubtful after he loses most of his weapons to the salary cap. That is, assuming your cheap ass owner is even willing to pay Burrow top dollar in the first place when his contract comes due.

Not too bad.

I graduated UC at 20 with a double major in FT and FE. Made FM at Schwab at 28 and now i'm a freelance FA with clients like Gates, Arnault, Buffett and Trump.

If my number is too low for you, i can always rob some banks on the way to the Chiefs Bengals AFCCG next month.

ChiefsAholic chose the wrong fanbase

You driving to KC next month?

Can't be. I was ****ing my whore mother last night. And the night before.

The night before that i was fisting your grandma and grandpa at the same time. Talk about freakshow, yowza.

Right. The only one he'll ever get. I wonder if the Chiefs will build a bronze statue of patty in the same way the Bengals will be building one for Burrow after he wins 4+?

You don't even know what shithole state i live in, bitch.

What if i was a Bengals fan that lived in Missouri or Kansas? You just called the Chiefs a loser team, brainiac.

Covington, Cincy, whatever. I know your dumbass is not from KC.

Bass guitars are for losers. Get 6 strings or gtfo.

InB4 i have a 6 string bass derp.

Oh, college. I graduated summa cum laude from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

I’m highly skeptical that those are the people’s money you’re managing after a career at Schwab, but whatever.

Let’s do an easy one so that I can see you’re legit. Let’s bet a straight 10k even-up on Chiefs/Bengals should they meet in the playoffs. Only stipulation is that Burrow and Mahomes have to each play at least one quarter or the bet is a push (ie, I don’t think it would be fair for either of us if the outcome weren’t dependent upon the QBs we’re debating). If you’re up for that, I’ll DM you to exchange contact information and we can talk on the phone to confirm this is something very real.

After that, we can graduate to the specifics of the MVP/SB wager.

Fair?

Unfortunately Burrow is going to get the Brady treatment in his career, I’m already seeing him get the same breaks as Tom. :shake:

After Burrow goes 400+/4+ the next two games and rips the MVP out of Pat's small hands, the only thing Mahomey will be collecting is tears.

Driving, a distance over 20 miles? ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

But did you look into FG and FN with your FB? If you don't make FS straight out of FD, then I guess FU.

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.

holy shit do you actually believe this is going to happen?
