I hate having to cheer for the Bengals. Nothing about Joe Burrow makes me want to root for the guy

What about his girlfriend?

Literally thought this exact same thing right as I was opening this thread.

Just left the house of some friends of mine and the guy's wife is a big Bengals fan. In fact they were at my house for the AFC Championship game last year. I told her that tonight I'm an even bigger Bengals fan than she is.

I think Cincinnati beats Buffalo tonight.

Would love to see the Bills put this team in their place (and I'm leaning towards thinking they will), but it's better to get the bye here. Get it done, Burrow.

Just give us a great game and let the chips fall where they may.

Burrow plays like he walks on water against us. Watch him completely shit the bed tonight.

The Kansas City Chiefs clinched the final wild card berth (as 6th seed) during the final week of the regular season with their win over Jacksonville, a loss by Tennessee, and two overtime losses by Cincinnati and Denver.[56]

Yeah, that was fun.

The bills should be able to pressure burrow, something that we can never do.

Might have something to do with growing up a huge Chiefs fan.

Well that’s something I was unaware of

Seriously man, and it needs to stop PDQ

Why is he such a meany-pants when he plays the Chiefs, then?

jesus

Cincy has a very good running game. Pound the ball over and over.

"Regular Season" games.

going to be interesting to see if it holds up without la'el collins playing

That sucks

so I guess we gotta root for our new nemesis/rival the bengals

"The enemy of my enemy is temporarily my best friend for now".:D

woof

this is going to be a shootout

League definitely wants a Bengals win. Buff would rest their guys and guys next Sunday if they chose to not care about 2 or 3 seed.

Is it OK to hope for a Bengals win and at the same time injuries on all their starters or is that bad karma ? Asking for a friend.

Looking forward to CP telling me which team it's rigged for!

They have been the favorite to win the SB all year. Many still think they are the best team in football. This doesn’t surprise me a bit.

Is he good? I know nothing about him.

Gimme a tie as they beat the shit out of each other in multiple overtimes

he's a classic SDE who excels at cutting off running lanes for guys like josh allen

FYP

If the Bills win, it’s rigged. If the Bengals win, it’s legit. Tie is also legit.

So you're saying the league wants Buffalo to sit their players next week? Kinda doubt it.

Was that the year that we lost to Indy (one of many) because Herm ran LJ over and over and over despite it not working?

The only thing I remember about that game is at one point Indy had like 20 first downs and we still had yet to get even 1

Walt Harris!!!

A tie would be so sweet.

Man I hope the Bills have a melt down game, they are due for one.

I think the Bengals match up very well. They will be the toughest opponent Bills have faced since week 9 against the Vikings, which they lost.

Bengals have an offense like the Vikings but a much better Defense. This is a team that should give the Bills a really tough time.

Losing Collins and Hubbard for this game is an advantage for the Bills which sucks.

Both teams can score at any time which means the game isnt over till the clock hits triple zeros.

Should be a great game! GO BENGALS!

Ty Law kept us in the game with some timely picks.
Didn't matter. The husk of Trent Green, Larry Johnson's mangled body, and Herm Edwards ineptness ensured we were doomed from the outset.

harlan better let his freak flag fly tonight

Money's been pouring in on the Bills. I take that as a good sign.

LJ still holds the record for carries from that season. Probably never be broken.

Better get ready to watch the start of this on ESPN2.

Rose Bowl gave us 40 minutes of band nerds queerin' around at half and the 3rd quarter isn't even done yet.

guess I gotta set up the second TV, good thing MNF is on ABC so I can just pick it up over the rabbit ears

And then had like 30 yards against the terrible colts run defense in the playoffs if I recall. The colts signed booger McFarland to help their run d.

Best part of that game was ty law took an int back to the one and was tackled by his shoe laces by Harrison. Then Trent green had his foot stepped on by weigman. Then we missed a 28 yard fg. 3 plays involving feet in like five minutes. Man are we spoiled now lol.

bro we got an hour and a half until kickoff

?

Kickoff is at 730.

730 is 45 mins from now.

What are you talking about?

Look at the bright side. If this was Big 10 basketball instead of football, we’d still have another 3 hours of this shit.

bro we got 45 minutes until kickoff

he's running on simp time zone

Bill's mafia money.

nothing but infomercials on KMBC right now LMAO

Not gonna lie man theres something about Burrow, he just looks like The Dude...he has a real aura about him

Its recognizable to anyone who loves Mahomes

bills dynasty starts tonight!

oh its onnnn

If the bengals win, X Factor is gonna tongue this dude

The Brady comparisons aren't far off. Not at all in his level of skill for now at least, but the FU attitude and infectious overconfidence plus clutch gene. I'm coming around to the idea that they've got some staying power.

Hearing Chris Berman is such a treat, such a salve for an old soul... it just feels like football every time he talks

"I used the wrong paint"

Shameless Discord Plug...

**** the haters, Berman is the man.

AFC owns the three best young QBs, no question

It’s on ABC.

When he talks, I can't help but listen

Steve Young made a good point.

The record of these three guys against each other will be their legacy.

Him recapping Super Bowl 54 with THE epic NFL Primetime music was a bucket lister for me.

I’m setting the O/U on DUIs for this guy at 1.5

What ya got?

They will win a SB, I don’t know about Dynasty.

Including the game tonight I'll go 2.5.

1.5 if you don't count the diversion.

Back in the day. Sure. Currently? His time was yesterday.

3... But how many banks has he knocked over... :D

Let's hope for a barn-burner with plenty of big hits from both sides. And OT; these two teams could use plenty of extra snaps right before the playoffs begin.

I'm excited to watch this game. It should be a good matchup, I have a vested rooting interest, but if the Bills win, it won't be soul crushing.

All of them located next to a bar.

Hard to imagine Mariucci was an actual NFL head coach. Moron

O/U the # of times the Chiefs/Mahomes will be mentioned tonight?

joe is so sexy

i think this is the biggest MNF game since MNF moved to ESPN.
