Honestly, they're one of the more even-keeled and realistic boards I've seen this year -- even the Chargers subreddit was begging for a rematch and declaring they'd beat us by two scores in the playoffs after losing to us (that changed after yesterday for some reason). They seem to have a good balance of quality posters/homers/****posters on the Bengals board.

Quite possibly starting with Joe Burrow... so it could be, soon? We don't know.

I would say before Mahomes our last truly competitive SB contending team would have been the 2003 Trent Green led team... and our Defense was an all time worst, so that is really pushing it. Before that, you go back to Joe Montana in the early 1990's. So a reminder for you Bengals fan... we deserve this... regardless if you think our city is a flat, trailer infested, hillbilly shit-hole. Do those parts exist? Sure... in every city.

Maybe if they move to the NFC.....Pat gonna own the AFC until he rides off into Canton and by then Burrow gonna be washed up.....

John Mackovic is the last KC Chiefs coach to win a road game against the Bengals in Cincinnati. Chiefs won in 1984.

Lost last five games at Cincy. Including 2003 Chiefs going to Cincy at 9-0 and picking up 1st loss of that season. In 2008, Ryan Fitzpatrick was the winning QB in season finale.

This is the first game for Mahomes at Bengals, and that is a huge difference, but Cincinnati is not a place where the Chiefs have had much success.

This thread is golden.

We have the ozarks, Hillbillies, nasty fans, Pats brother, his wife, smug fans, KC is a shithole and crime ridden, and even use the misery line like its new.

One would believe Cincy is like some urban mecca filled with beautiful people.

I wanted to join just to say that I was his old boss and I am sorry for not coddling him more. I didn't mean to bag on Ohio sports as much as I did, as I honestly didn't know there were still Bengals fans.

I don't see how any of us could really have anything genuinely negative to say about the Bengals. Before we drafted Mahomes, they were one of only a handful of franchises who had a more pathetic history than the Chiefs.

Good on them for developing a roster with some real talent and excitement. They absolutely deserve it. I'll root for them against any other team in football provided it doesn't negatively impact KC.

We just need a "Your Not in Kansas Anymore" sign at the game

CINCI VS GOOD TIGHT ENDS!!

Waller= 7 catches for 116 yards

Kittle= 13 catches for 151 yards & a TD

Andrews= 8 catches for 125 yards & a TD

Hockenson= 8 catches for 74 yards


QB's THEY'VE FACED THIS YEAR

Mike White
Jared Goff
Trevor Lawrence
Lamar Jackson
Baker Mayfield
Aaron Rodgers
Derek Carr
Justin Herbert
Jimmy Garopalo
KIrk Cousins
Teddy Bridgwater/Drew Lock
Big Ben
Josh Johnson
Andy Dalton/Justin Fields

The qb's they've faced is littered with rookies and average to poor guys under centre. One thing that is clear as day though...is they simply cannot handle quality tight-ends. Andrews ate them alive yesterday with Josh Johnson as his QB who barely knew him. Whilst Kittle was doing anything he wanted to that defense a few weeks ago. A number of receivers have also had huge games against Cinci..namely Devonte Adams, Mike Williams and Adam Thielan.

Agree. I have always felt bad for them for the Carson Palmer injury in the playoffs. It’s gotta be tough watching the Steelers and Ravens go to SB after SB while you suffer

They have one of the best TV shows ever...........WKRP.

Hoping they're not planning a turkey drop pregame

+1

I'm guessing Chiefs are going to be the magical 3.5 favorites.

Trey Hendrickson is a quick, explosive pass rusher. He gave Eric Fisher fits last year when he was with New Orleans, primarily with speed-to-power moves. He's got the quickness and twitchiness to give Brown problems with pure speed moves. I can't see him working speed-to-power moves as effectively against Brown as he did against Fisher, though.

Their other DE, Sam Hubbard, seems like a solid role player but not a star. I've watched them a half dozen times and don't remember hearing his name. Their DTs are good-not-great rushers in Ogunjobi and D.J. Reader (formerly of the Browns and Texans, respectively).

It's a good unit. I don't think their E are as good as Crosby and Ngakue, and I don't think their overall DL unit is as good as the Browns' was week 1, or as deep and good at rushing the passer as the Bills.

They can certainly give KC some trouble, though, and I expect them to make some plays.

The Bengals look to have trouble with TEs (both watching them and stat scouting), so getting a 100 percent healthy Kelce back would be tremendously helpful.

Their FS, Jessie Bates, is possibly the most underrated S in the NFL. Really good all-around player who doesn't get a lot of notice (kind of what you want from your FS). Very similar to Thornhill.

They're a good team. It won't be a cake walk. But I think KC's much improved OL and defense really show up in this one. Something like a 31-17 or 31-20 win is what I see.

Key thing is going to be disrupting their line with the front 4 and letting Spagnuolo play games with Mathieu, Sneed, and Thornhill. Gay and Bolton (hopefully cleared from COVID reserve) will have to defend the run well downhill and also handle Mixon out of the backfield.

4.5 this morning

I just heard their backup QB tested positive… Whoa baby!

Cincinnati was also known as "Porkopolis"; this less desirable nickname came from the city's large pork interests.


I thought it was the women there.

What team have the Bungals beaten that's good? I see mediocre wins, three ugly losses to horrible teams and no wins against real SB threats.

There aren't any. The Ravens weren't even good when they actually had players to put on the field and they had virtually nobody yesterday.

I’ll be curious to see Hendrickson’s approach with Brown seeing that Brown and Fisher have opposite strengths and weaknesses. Over the past few games it feels like Mahomes and Brown have synced up, even when someone gets a step on Brown, Mahomes has been adept at stepping up and out.

I’m happy Brown/Mahomes will get a test like this before the playoffs. Hendrickson bullied an injured Fish throughout the game last year. I remember after Patrick took a bad sack he actually patted Fish on the helmet after in an encouraging way. It felt like Fisher was playing really hurt, and it makes you wonder how he was compensating for his injuries throughout the last season.

I saw one of the Bengals posters mention that sacks aren’t the only pass protection stat that matters. I generally agree with this, except when a team allows a really high or low number. I don’t think it really matters if a team is ranked in the middle of the league. A few games can skew your ranking a lot.

The Bengals are different though. They’re the worst in the league in sacks allowed and the problem has gotten worse or at least persisted lately.

Either way, sacks are important though. It just takes 1 to wreck a drive and swing momentum.

As a SMS grad I laughed out loud at South having "gangs" now

Imagine living in a shithole where your two most famous things are:

My God, this board is an embarrassment to Chiefs fans everywhere. Every time I go read KCs next opponents board they talk about how obnoxious the Chiefs fan base is and every time they mention this board. Is it too much to ask to show a little class and sportsmanship?

Much of it is in just, but if'n you don't like it I reckon you're free to take your sniveling ass elsewhere

Cincinnati is full of University of Kentucky fans therefore they can get ****ed

Especially if you have a team that feeds on turnovers as much as the Chiefs combined with an offense that can score quickly. Logistically, the game can get out of control quickly... which starts to spiral........... out of reach

I almost forgot about Cincinnati Chili..................they add Cinnamon and Cholcolate to it! Disgusting.

SHUT UP BITCH!!!!!!

LMAO oh noes! The fanbase of an AFC team who has gone to three straight conference championships is confident about their team! Show some humility, y'all. Have the last 8 games taught you nothing?

Apparently, this is all he does:

Lol

Here we go…lol

Apparently it is asking too much. I rarely come here for rhis reason. You act like a bunch of spoiled children.

Now I'll go to an adult message board. Enjoy preschool.

Don't forget the one where headbutting other players is cool, but fans on a message board should be of the highest class and civility. :$2500:

Nobody gives a shit. Just leave.

Have fun chatting about football in the pornhub comment section

I've seen the Chiefs play bad halves of football and still win with Mahomes.

Graeters is really damn good, ngl. Goetta is a Cinci thing, too. Growing up in Amish/Mennonite country in KS I had a lot of dishes like that (a chef friend made his take on Goetta once). German Sausage is just next level and it's almost impossible to find it now that I've moved from south-central KS to Colorado. Skyline is one of those things you just kind of have to do if you're in Cinci - but Cinci people get angry if you question its divinity (personally, I'd take the Chili/Cinnamon Roll meals the Mennonite folk made in my hometown over Skyline). What's funny is that Joe Burrow himself said he didn't care for Skyline -- but he gets a pass because he's from Ohio.

To their credit, the folks on that board are praising our BBQ -- so I can't fault their taste.

If you think the Chiefs' fans on all of CP give one single collective **** about what fans of other teams on other message boards think about CP, then you haven't been paying attention. At all.

I actually didn't think it was too bad.

They've got a decent squad, up and coming and all that. I remember when we were there. I always had hope we'd be able to beat Manning's Broncos and Brady's Pats. They're kind of like us circa 2013/2014 but with a homegrown QB, which intensifies the homerism.

Even still, most of them there were just annoyed by how confident we are, which is also pretty normal given our team's recent success. They seem to realize winning this game on Sunday will be a major feat.

Agreed. I have literally no hate in my heart for the Bengals. Aside from them ending our win streak in 2003, they've never been a thorn in our side. Hell, they haven't been a thorn in anyone's side since at least the 90s, really.

When they're not playing KC I root for them just like for the Brownies and Billies.

EDIT: I guess I forgot that it was a Bengals player who knocked Trent Green out for several weeks back in 2006

Going to be very cold and snowing apparently

FYI...

This guy's entire MO is trolling other teams' boards and making obnoxious posts. LMAO

Well, this place isn't for everyone, especially those who can't see through the crassness of this place.

Hell, I once made a lighthearted innocent joke on the Chiefs reddit about Lamar Jackson being a running back and It was down voted like 5 times, perhaps because it had a "stats" tag and math and jokes don't mix. LMAO

Different strokes.

Good. Look up Pat’s record and stats in snow games.

2nded

This place may not be for the faint of heart but joining a message board to bitch about the people who make up said message board for being confident is dum.

We should start a tradition of making accounts on other message boards before games

Maybe your joke just didn't add up? We will never know!

Love the confidence, but in reality Mahomes is not taking the Chiefs to the Superbowl every season through his career.

The Chiefs will have to go through rebuilds, unless Burt Veeech is the greatest talent scout of all time.

Relax, Francis.....it was a joke

:thumb:

Good thing Mahomes is a “snow game guy” according to his words a couple years ago while lighting up the Broncos in the snow.

The last time we beat the Been Gals in Cincy was in 1984 at Riverfront Stadium. We've never beaten them in the newer Paul Brown Stadium in four tries. So I'd say that's some bulletin board material, as they're already chalking this up as win number five.

Lmao

Go kick yourself in whatever use to be your balls. Geezus you are a disgrace.

Personally, I'm only here for the poop threads.

These Bengals fans just dont understand the confidence that having the loudest camaro at long john silvers, and the best QB to play the game in history gives us. All that state has going for it is Joe B and the incest s10 from street race channel.

Great info.

You just know this dude is a true fan. He probably has a signed casshole jersey hanging in his she shed

Or worse. Alex Smith.

That's Mav, the Alex Smith fluffer

My nearby Sonic is well used to the roar my V6 challenger can make through their drive thru.

All that means jack shit.

Along with a picture of Dorothy and Toto. That would be so original. :thumb:

LMAO not sure about the roar, but that V6 DOES crank out 305 hp... not too shabby

Having Mahomes at QB rather than the likes of Alex Smiff, Casshole, Thigpen, Trent Green and Bill Kenney makes a huge difference.

Thanks for clarifying that fact, Captain Obvious.

Is there any updates from the covid19 9 players list ?

So we're in the same boat as reading, math, and soap.

Sonic employees better brace themselves for all 305 HP of this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/c...Savannah+1.jpg

This was a fun game to go to.

If I was a statistician and it actually meant something, I'd say it meant the Chiefs are way past due to win in Cincinnati.

The whole narrative in sports that unlikely things just keep happening (like when a Mahomes led team loses 4 of 7, so they'll obviously keep losing most of their games) is very anti-statistics.

I didn't save the thread link but it was especially funny reading the one where the guy goes on and on about having faced top-tier pass rushers off the edge so they aren't scared of the pass rush. Never mind the fact they are facing the 2nd best interior pass rusher in the NFL, one like they don't and haven't faced, to go along with solid outside rushers. That dynamic should be interesting since their IOL is even worse than their tackles, especially where Jones will line up over Hopkins and Adeniji.

Burrow will have to get the ball out extremely fast and he has long-stride WRs going against press-man corners. That's not an easy task. We'll see, but I like KC's matchup if the pressure is getting home like expected. If the pressure isn't getting there, then I think our DBs might struggle to cover those receivers long.

As for their defense... they have 3 good players in Hendrickson, Wilson, and Bates. Wilson might not play. The rest of that defense is very mediocre and don't match up well with KC's speed. They can't cover Kelce and they won't be able to cover Hill. So long as KC helps out Brown with Hendrickson, there shouldn't be much to slow down KC's offense. Avoid throwing shit up for grabs around Bates or he'll make you pay. Vonn Bell fills well in the run game but isn't too great in coverage. CBs are all retreads.
