This like some real life Monty Python shit

Oh, nah. Now they gotsta GO.

“You come for the king, you best not miss.”

Its been a long time since I wanted to beat a team this bad... The Colts and the Cheaters were the last ones.. These assholes need put back in their place.. Loserville...

That line looked good last week. They looked like a wrecking crew and those low paid backups are looking to make a name for themselves.

Then again Maybe, it was the snow making them look good.

The Bills were pretty thin up front by the end of the season, so I'm not sure how much you can read into it. Won't really know until Sunday I suppose.

Snow is a offensive lineman's friend.. Lets see them do it on a dry field against a pissed off Chris Jones..

I'm more concerned about making him hold the ball for an extra second or 2 for the rush to make it home more than the rush itself.

replacing Williams with Watson should take care of that.

think McDuffie, Thornhill and Reid are playing better than he was at that stage of the season, too

Thornhill has been lights out recently

Mayor Q
@QuintonLucasKC

Sorry, y’all. I hear the mayor of Cincinnati has tried to bring some smoke that’s weak as hell. Catching up now…

God damn are people still copying this schtick and using it for Mahomes? Lame.

After all this bullshit we have had to read and hear this week I really hope we win this ****ing game. LMAO

One thing Chris Simms keeps mentioning is how in the regular season game the Bengals were pushing their safeties up to flood the Kelce and Juju areas. This in turn dared Pat to go over the top. MVS ran past their defense twice for big gains and with Mecole and Toney back I wonder if they have the courage to do that again?

Another thing not being mentioned much but Dan Orlovsky has been going on about it. If we play 12 or 13 personnel for a good amount it's gonna put Cinci in a little bit of a bind where defending the run is concerned.

We just gotta be willing to pound it. Andy was willing to when he salted the game away against the Titans. If we're in that position again against Cinci, you just have to hope he's willing to ride Pacheco and Jet to a ship.

The Ravens played 12 and 13 personnel a lot and apparently it forced Cinci to keep Hendricks and Hilton on the sidelines for long spells. Those are two of their best defenders and there's no way Andy isn't exploiting that. I would expect Jet sweeps to be a thing too. Andy got a big gain with one in the last game and never went back to it.

I am worried we will murder them badly.

For all the talk about “Joe Cool” and the Bengals offense, does anybody know that they have 0 offensive TDs in the fourth quarter in six playoff games? ZERO. They’ve averaged about two points offensively in the fourth quarter.

Guys!!..i just looked at the roster from regular season game against Cinci and it appears that aswell as not having Toney, Hardman, Thuney and Clyde on the offense that day, we never had Jaylen Watson, Mike Danna or Brandon Williams available on the defense either!!..so that's SEVEN players added back in that never played in a game we lost by three points on the road.

The more I look at the facts on the table the more interesting this game gets. There is no question we have an improved roster and theirs is weaker (due to them losing three linemen) since that regular season game.

Steering betting dollars has made NFL talking heads even more useless. Not a fan of gambling's takeover of sports shows, radio, tv and others. Everyone thinks they're a gambling savant

Did you really include Clyde? LMAO

Upon further reflection after that ridiculous shit from the Cincy mayor…

1. 2023 Bengals AFCCG
.
.
.
2. 2019 Patriots AFCCG
3. 2021 Bucs SB
4. 2022 Bills Divisional

oooh I like this take from Marcus Spears on ESPN:

~"K Toney needs to have an impact game...YAC will be at a premium, you're gonna need to look for guys you can get the ball in their hands and make play, and #19 is one of he best in the business. This is a hidden element, hidden guy type of game. Who's that unknown right now that's going to step up!?....[like] T Higgens, K Toney can be that guy they went out and got him for a reason!"

Agreed! Would be incredible for Toney to make a major impact in this game, perfect timing for him to show us what he can really do.

I hope Andy opens up the full wrath of the playbook and teaches those cocky little bitches a little humility

Chris Jones should have the hidden sacks covered. Unfortunately for us, Alex Smith, the undisputed king of hidden touchdowns, has retired.

We'll just have to make do with the best qb that ever lived, and hope that his impossible to hide highlight plays can measure up to the hidden stats.

I wanted the Titans more than I wanted the Pats.

chiefs are gonna bust those tackles up

why does the wait for this game feel longer than the wait for the jaguars game

like i almost even forgot we played the jags

Postseason Sack All Time Leaders:

1 Willie McGinest 16.0 1994-2008
2 Bruce Smith+ 14.5 1985-2003
3 Terrell Suggs 12.5 2003-2019
4 Frank Clark 12.0 2015-2022

Look at the timeframes too.

Sounds like a great week for Clark to tie Bruce Smith for 2nd place. He pass Willie in the Super Bowl.

Jackson Carman G. 7 Career starts. 7 Penalties

Max Scharping G. 33 Career starts. 30 snaps 2022 regular season.

Hakeem Adeniji RT. 1 regular season and 2 playoff starts this season. 9 starts last year as RG.

Bengals coach Zac Taylor said they’ll continue to monitor RG Alex Cappa and LT Jonah Williams as they move through the week.


I expect Chris Jones and company will deal with them "respectfully".

Kelce and Clark both had the flu in the last matchup as well.

Our last matchup from 12/4 on NFLN

Agreed

I wonder if Jones hadn't had it as well. He got handled 1x1 a lot in that game by Cappa.

Which, Cappa is fantastic, but seeing Jones dealt with like that makes you wonder.

Maybe I’m thinking of another game, but I could’ve sworn they said he had it too.

Our D Line is so much better than the Bills that it would surprise me if they don't play a huge factor in the outcome of this game.
Karlaftis–Danna–Jones–Dunlap–Clark vs mostly backups and an injured playing average center in Karras. It's ridiculously lopsided.

What's up CP?!

Looking forward to an epic championship game tomorrow.

This is the way it should be, the two best teams (and QBs) in the conference punching it out for a trip to the SB.

Glad to see most of the star players are healthy and playing, that's what you want is the superstars on the field in a game like this. Reports about Mahomes' health look really good. And, even if he is slightly limited to being a pocket passer, Mahomes is extremely good from the pocket (top notch).

Tall task for the Bengals to defeat the same team in back-to-back title games in their own home stadium. Can the Bengals do it? Yes, they are a very good team but it's gonna be really tough to do especially against a QB like PM.

Bengals backup OL looked good against Buffalo but we'll see if that was fool's gold last week. It could be the killer blow for Cincy this week if they can't hold up.

No single team has ever won back-to-back AFC championship games on the Road. Cincy is going for the history of that to be the first to do it. Extremely tough.

I don't see Chiefs losing two in a row in their home stadium to the same team. You never know though. Philly lost championship games two years in a row in their home stadium with Andy Reid as their coach, so we'll see.

I think the Chiefs are likely to win, although I'm obviously rooting for Cincy and you can't ever count them out.

Should be a great one!

Six TD's this season.

Eat shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skyline Chili is poop in a can!

Tell your Mayor that Chris Jones is going to **** his wife. Long dick style.

Bengals fans…. Be more like Bengal Billy

Lol. No argument from me on that.

I can do the chili cheese dogs but that spaghetti noodle with bland sauce,, uh no

bengal billy is a good one

thank you for bringing us the arrowhead invitational

No worries HP, glad to see it again and none of that neutral site/Buff BS.

Arrowhead is a great environment no doubt. Btw, I loved that clip a few pages back of the crowd noise and Elway complaining that he couldn't hear because of the rules back then. I forgot any of that but remembered when I saw it. That was awesome;; yeah, have the ref ask the crowd to be quiet and expecting them to oblige,, HAHAHAHA!!

Ugh, politicians. What are u gonna do? :doh!:

Have a feeling the NFL office would have used that neutral site game as an excuse to permanently change the format. Heck, they still might go that path even though the neutral site game didn’t happen this year.

That’s nice.

Go eat a paper grocery bag stuffed with moldy dicks.

Agree, I think they would try to institute it permanent.

I certainly hope not, home stadium atmospheres in a championship game is one of the things these teams strive for. Plus, the fans experience has got to be much better in a home stadium instead of a neutral place (idk, I've never attended an NFL game in a neutral stadium).

Yeah, the Bye Week is very important for a team to try and secure,, but home field advantage is just as important IMO.

Welcome to the Arrowhead invitational, brought to you by Bengal Billy!

I like that old school helmet BB, thanks for stopping by!

Grocery bag? :)

Thanks,, yeah I have one of those old helmets. Showing my age a little,, but started watching Cincy when they had those old unis (still a kid though back then).
The first year they changed to the striped helmet, it was the same year they went to the SB to face Joe Montana

Bengal Billy > whatever (yes that was the trolls username, great creativity)

ah yes. The Ice Bowl AFCCG to get there.

Goal line stand by SF to stop big Pete Johnson. That SB was a real lost opportunity for the Bengals.

We’ve all mentioned how big the Von Miller loss was for the Bills.

Let’s not forget that DaQuon Jones also wasn’t playing and Jordan Phillips played with a torn rotator cuff.

How would the Chiefs DL look without Jones and Clark while Saunders plays injured?

Yup. Old Bengals players said they knew as soon as they saw the Chargers come out of the tunnel that SD was already defeated that game. That weather brutal.

I've been to many cold-ass games in Cincy over the years but wasn't at that one thank goodness. Too young for that mess.

Yeah, that SB was such a good chance for Cincy but Joe Montana, what u gonna do?

Dan Bunz, no?

Agree, Bill's D-Line was non-existent last week and add the snow on top of it.

Bengals O-Line gonna get a real test this week.

I loved those helmets, and I liked those Cincy teams of the 70s -- Ken Anderson, Boobie Clark, Isaac Curtis, Ken Riley, Jim LeClair

Anderson one of my fave's for sure. Those 70's Cincy teams were pretty good, just had a lot of tough AFC teams back then to deal with

Couple of things.

1. You can’t judge Andy losing two championship games in a row as any basis for that. The fact he made two in a row with McNabb as his QB is impressive. Mahomes is light years better than Donovan.

2. Go to KC and get world class BBQ. Once you do you will understand just how disgusting Skyline Chili looks. Plus it’s so good you might change your team allegiance.

No better place in the world to be BBQ. I miss kc soooo much.

Well, that's true. McNabb was definitely no Mahomes.

mmm BBQ. You're making me hungry

Ok I finished watching all three Bunholes games (NFLN network is spamming the shit out of them - how about some Eagles/9ers or something?).

Takeaway is that while they were painful, especially last year's AFCCG, I feel a lot better about our chances tomorrow than I did before watching them. We were in all 3 games, and our D for the most part did better than I remembered, although they do seem to get gassed at the end of the game.

One thing I liked was Andy was noticeably more ballsy in this year's regular season game - going for it on 4th down when Mahomes did the Jordan dive.

I kept thinking in the AFCCG - what if we just handed the damn ball off on the 1-yard line before the half? Yes it's risky, but they'd never be expecting it. Has to work 80-90% of the time. Or just do one damn QB sneak. Mahomes doesn't have to fall down, he just needs to push the ball over the line and get out of harm's way. They would NEVER expect that. And as we saw, even passing is risky.

It looks to me like maybe Andy took that to heart and said **** it - we're going for it vs. these guys in the future. We need that. I'm sick of the fear of Mahomes forcing the other team to be correctly aggressive on 4th down, and us turtling up. I don't think they're going to get complacent this year if we get a lead. And the regular season game showed we can come back if we get behind.

I really think there's a good chance we come out and smoke these guys. If not, they're just the better team right now.

It's mind numbing how we lost that last game

At least a dozen plays where we win if they go the other way. I think more than anything we've just been the victims of very bad luck vs. the Bengals - especially in the two games from last year.

They're a better team this year than last year, and we're in a legit dogfight with them now.

That roughing the passer penalty really pissed me off

Yeah and the one big turtle move Andy made this year was kicking the 55-yard FG instead of going for it. That sucked. Even if we make it I bet we lose the game. We needed a TD or at the very least a FG with much less time on the clock.

Yeah, watching last year's game, I think we are clearly the better team. I don't think you can make the case this year -- both teams squandered opportunities. I actually think we were outplayed. Orlando Brown without Thuney is not a pretty sight. I think our offensive line will play much better this game, and I think theirs will be much worse.

Bengals elevated a tackle. Their OL is going through it.

We better dominate up front tomorrow

Im a bit afraid Cheffers is gonna call so many holding calls against us. I think our oline is going to be so scared to let Patrick take any hits. They are gonna have to play the cleanest game of their lives.

The Ravens’ fan base is in total agreement with you….

Who is everyone cheering for tomorrow?

Chiefs for me tbh.

Cheffers isn't reffing this game LMAO

Oh thank god. Maybe that was the last one. I thought someone in here said he was.

We need a crew that doesn't call alot of holding because we are going to hold badly in this one.

He's reffing the Super Bowl unfortunately

Just wait until the ref gets knocked out and Cheffers music starts playing.

Bah Gawd! It’s Carl Cheffers!

He's reffing the Super Bowl

Would rather it be Enrico Pallazo at that point.

That's crazy. You like the Kansas City Chiefs, too? They're my favorite National Football League team!
