No team with a poor pass defense and a crappy OL is going to walk into Arrowhead and prevent the Chiefs from going to the SB. Especially with the momentum they have now and likely a healthier defense.

KC by 10+

Dieter is a meme!!

a coworker of mine just posted on facebook that "the Bengals have never lost an AFCCG"

I dont' think any of the bengals players were alive the last time they won an AFCCG

Well, that's a perfect draw...

Honestly not the least bit worried about this, in spite of the recent loss

1) its in KC, not Cincy
2) Burrow and Chase were out of their minds
3) Spags won't leave anyone on an island against Chase again
4) Their raw talent overcame our experience advantage last time, but that won't be the case for the deep playoff noobs again

They're about to get the lesson they should've learned last time

37-27 :arrow:

I agree that the bungholes have no shot in k.c. I'm not going to tell you chef fans that league circles are saying otherwise. Patches will go to another super bowl.... and lose to Mathew stafford. ��

Popcorn fart ^

Remember joe burrows got sacked nine times. Nine times. Gaz like me is going to enjoy sunday sack season.

You're my boy blue.

You're going to carry us home with the Super Bowl game thread in three weeks.

We're a team.

Referees for the AFC and NFC Championship Game:

Bengals/Chiefs: Bill Vinovich
49ers/Rams: Carl Cheffers


How does Cheffers keep getting these prime games?

Obviously your fortune telling/prediction skills are as bad as your team. Let us know when you get something right. Still laughing at blowing the 1 seed. Takes talent.

Because they want to make sure the Rams make the SB. Just watch.

We will win if we play with the same intensity and focus we did against the Bills. Bills are underrated on here -- we beat a hell of a team who was playing their best.

We had the captain of our secondary go down the first drive, missed a FG and Xpt, and left pts on the field. It shouldn't have been anywhere near as close as it was but...

They're a damned good team. They're a better team than the Bengals or whatever NFC team we'll curb stomp in the SB...

Was that difficult to type with the giant black cock in your mouth?

Bengals D better realize it ain't Ryan Tannehill who will be coming out of that tunnel in Arrowhead and Burrow although somewhat mobile ain't no Josh Allen in the scrambling and running department either.

I heard Mark Schlereth give HUGE PROPS to the Chiefs D-line and edge rushers this a.m. on The Fan here in Denver. Someone asked him if Burrow and his offense will have the same success as Allen did last night. He said, "No way, when you just look at the Chiefs D-line and edge rushers last night and how they pressured Allen all night, if the QB isn't named Allen the Chiefs defense would have had numerous sacks all night. Burrow ain't Allen in the scrambling and running department and the Chiefs D line "should" wreak havoc all game".:thumb:

Game on Mother****er

That needs to be posted

EVERYWHERE...

Yeah I've seen CP complaining about pressure but I thought our guys were in the backfield plenty last night. On the 4th and 4 they made him go back about 15 yards and he still picked it up, barely.

That's what I saw as well. Allen just has that big body Elway escapability with more speed.

The league can scramble rat faces headset and pass their playbook to McVay and the 49ers still win. Stafford and the Ram's won't ever beat this team.

You are severely underestimating Carl ****ing Cheffers.

The Bengals are the 2018 Chiefs with a worse offensive line.

PERFECT

Kinda sucks for the Bengals and Bills to finally find upper echelon QBs…only to have someone else in the same conference find a better one around the same age.

The better QB doesn't always win. Ask the Packers. Bengals and Bills will get theirs, just not this year, at least for the Bills.

Wut? Rodgers has always been an underperformer in the playoffs. He's barely even relevant to the discussion.

That's what Dan Marino called a career...

No not always, but Mahomes has a ****ing insane AFC playoff record so far. Not always, but pretty damn close.

The gap between Mahomes and Allen is much closer than the ****ing gap between Rodgers and Garoppolo.

Not really. Garoppolo actually manages to accomplish things in the postseason.

It's also much closer than the gap between Mahomes and Burro...

How many rings does he have compared to Rodgers?

Agreed. Pass rush was fine. We didn't blitz much and the bills are one of the best teams in the league. You won't get pressure everytime.

What?

0 to 1, but that one Rodgers has came over a decade ago. Been pretty consistently mediocre to shit since then in the playoffs. They're both scrubs in this conversation.

So one could say Jimmy Garoppolo hasnt accomplished anything yet, huh?

Recently I'd say more than Rodgers. Since 2017 when Garoppolo became the starter he's 4-1 in the playoffs. Rodgers is 2-3 just for comparisons sake.

Ya, I'll take the first ballot HoFer who has a ring on this one, but you do you.

Kay. He's been absolute trash in the postseason lately but you do you.

Agree. The DL playing exactly the same against the Bengals will result in like 5 sacks.

Ya Garoppolo really sealed that win with his 11 completed passes for 131 yards and 0 TDs and 1 INT. Way to go Garoppolo. Really out played Rodgers on this day. Managing that Special Teams victory to perfection.

Rodgers managed 20/29 for 225. Wouldn't say he accomplished much of anything either. They were both pretty dogshit.

Chiefs betting line opens at -7? No love for CIN. I'm not worried either. They almost cost us hosting the AFCCG for the fourth straight year. Now it's time for them to die on an epic scale. They have an excellent WR core and an awesome QB but that's it. There's some key injuries since our last meeting as well.

Nah, they've got quite a few building blocks on defense as well. Hendrickson, Wilson, and Bates is a damn solid core to build around.

I dont give a shit if he had a bad game for Rodgers standards. He's clearly a better ****ing QB than Jimmy Garoppolo and you are the dumbass who thinks he's not.

i like your way of thinking.

cincy: what would you like us to do when we visit arrowg.eh.ea.d?
chiefs: die.

On paper he should be. Easily so. But as I already stated he's been severely underperforming in the playoffs recently so it's kind of a moot point in that discussion.

bengals are such an afterthought, we are talking about two nfc qbs in the let's talk about thread.

who dey indeed.

Cincy is definitely a worse team than Buffalo, but I'm aghast that some of you guys are calling this game an afterthought.

We definitely win this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if this game stays close.

Its the Bengals. They were getting blown out in KC the first time til the refs started airing out their dirty laundry and calling twice as many penalties on the Chiefs.

They just got the least whistle happy crew in the league.

There's a reason why they opened at -7. They are a good team and have some building blocks but they just barely beat the Titans because Tannehill threw his 3rd INT on their way to victory. The Bengals gave up 9 sacks. They aren't ready for the Chiefs.

I assure you the team doesn't see them as an afterthought.

I'm not worried about the Chiefs. They'll take care of business.

But I just wouldn't be surprised if the win is by 7 points or lower.

Rodgers getting the ball back tied after the punt block and going 3 and out tells you all you need to know... Rarely steps up in the big games.

The Chiefs offensive line will be better this time. When Chiefs played Bengals on Jan 2, The Chiefs were missing Orlando Brown at left tackle with a pre-game calf tightening. Six plays into the game, substitute left tackle Lucas Niang went down with a knee injury. The Chiefs had to play with Joe Thuney at left tackle, Nick Allegretti at left guard, and Andrew Wylie at right tackle. The makeshift line did ok, but having the regulars in there will help.

We just played each other on January 2nd. This time Andy Reid, Eric Bieniemy, and Steve Spagnuolo will be even better prepared. The Bengals won 34 – 31 earlier. This time the Chiefs revenge will be sweet.

This game will be played at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, not Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. I think Joe Burrow is going to find Arrowhead louder than SEC stadiums,

:doh!:

Worthless troll- should be banned to Romper Room until next season. Your team sucks and so do you.

You just said "we definitely win this one," so by definition why would this game be anything other than an "afterthought"?

Just like he was supposed to lose to the Steelers, and Josh Allen.

If the Bengals have a weakness it's their OL. Spags must exploit this . Let Sorenson blitz from every angle on every play.

“We’re definitely going to win, but just barely!”

If Ingram and Reed play like they did against the Bills, we should be able to get pressure with 4 consistently. Jones on Adeniji is a HUGE mismatch that we need to exploit as often as possible.

E B / Andy needs to stop calling the cutesy trick plays. That Bell debacle could have cost us the game. Never take the ball out of Mahomes hands.

The operative phrase here is "going at it".....unlike the Tits, who will be going at their fridge for beer and their pantry for some chips while they sit at home watching the AFCCG

Per league circles, you lick the shit off your mother's dick.

Mahomes should walk on to the song Spirit Crusher by Death

Yeah, from reading the forum, you'd think we're the 1989 49ers and are winning every playoff game by 30+

It may not be as stressful as Buffalo, but I don't expect a Steelers repeat either.

The Super Bowl will also be no walkover.

We need to focus on Chase.

I say stick anyone like Hughes/Baker on him and just instruct them to press, fight, beat on him all game.

Throw another guy over the top for the double. I want Chase to get the Randy Moss treatment.

Make them beat us with someone else.

Higgins gets Sneed. Sneed can run with him and physically fight him for contested catches.

Don't send too many, get there with your base 4 and play coverage.

Make a few stops and Mahomes will do the rest.

I’m very glad we just recently played them and lost. No overlooking them and especially no surprises at what Chase can do.

Hughes would help the team the most if he just stays home. He is one of the worst CB's of all time that has wore Red- Mighty Mouse bad.

Forget blitzing, the defensive line needs to dominate Cincy’s shitty offensive line early and often.

Chris Jones needs to be in beast mode.

Need Matheiu back. Bills took advantage of him leaving the game. This chart says it all

Yeah I don't think you blitz the Bengals gotta get home with 4 were gonna need some extra coverage.

This was as of November

Joe Burrow has a 128 passer rating vs. the blitz and a 99 passer rating when he's not blitzed. He's been blitzed 28.3% of the time this year in total, yet 40% of his TDs are against the blitz, while 90% of his turnover worthy plays came when not blitzed

Yeah Spags please. Don't blitz Burrow often. Or just don't blitz him at all.

I’m rewatching the first meeting between these 2. First thing that stands out is that Zeus was out. Niang started at LT, got hurt early in the first quarter. Allegretti took over at LT.
