Let's talk about the Cincinnati Bengals (AFC Championship Edition)

So if they're in, send a few middle blitzes with them. That Bengals interior line really struggles with communication on those and if you start getting Burrow worried about those as well, you can really speed him up. That was the most incredible part about that Titans game - TN was getting pressure from EVERYWHERE. And sooner or later Burrow just couldn't figure out where it was coming from. The Bengals offense didn't win them that football game, that's for sure. And if we can get even half the heat on Burrow that Tennessee did, it'll be a bloodbath. |
We have to make the Bengals pay for their crappy offensive line. That's a huge weakness that we must exploit to slow down this offense.
On critical third downs, you have to take Chase away. It just has to be done. They love to give extra protection to Burrow and target Chase on outbreaking routes along the sideline. And they are damn good at it. |
Quote:
Remember Reid's 1-8 record against the Titans everyone was clamoring about going into the AFCCG? It just doesn't matter. |
Cynthia Frelund just brought up an interesting point. If KC blankets Chase and pressures Burrow we need to pay particular attention to Joe Mixon catching passes in the flat. Makes sense so put a spy on him and take him out.
|
Bengals fans talk SOOO much shit. I was somewhat rooting for the Bengals before week 17, but since it's been a bunch of nonsense.
Bengals fans can now eat a bag of dicks. |
Looks like perfect weather in the forecast for Sunday 46 degrees wind 5 mph Sunny

Anybody got a good Bengals site to infiltrate ? I woke up feeling dangerous!

Bill Cowher shows us how he schemed to beat Cincy in a Playoff Game, from 2006:

For instance, how many 3 seeds beat a 2 in OT then had to play the 1 seed (normally the best team in the conference)? Or what about a 5 seed beating a 4 then going on the road to the 1 seed? The Chiefs are going from playing the 3 seed to playing the 4 seed. |

The good news about defending Burrow and the Bengals is you don't have to worry about much scrambling. He's nearly a statue in the pocket. Awesome arm of course. But, we certainly don't need to commit any defenders to spying him. Focus on all the weapons (especially Chase).

This is why I worry about Cincy. The whole AFC North has a reputation for dirty play.

We gotta be careful and I would expect Spags to know that. Our LB's need to have a great game. |

Watched the second half possessions again this afternoon.
The Chiefs actually had good rhythms in all 3 possessions. The first two stalled due to drops by the Chiefs (including a tough second-down drop by Kelce on the first one that directly preceded the near pick by Cincinnati) and a hold on third-and-short on the second one. Third possession, nice job by the Bengals to show pressure and bring it when Mahomes clearly thought it was a bluff. This led to a third-down incomplete with no real chance to succeed due to the pressure and a FG. I've seen some Bengals fans suggest they adjusted and that's what slowed the KC offense. I can buy that on the third-down pass right before the FG, but that's really the only time the Bengals did something different. It really is more, based on reviewing again, about the Chiefs making mistakes than anything the Bengals did. SO much went right in this matchup for the Bengals. A good portion of it great plays by Chase and Burrow. But the number of drive-extending penalties against KC, and the drops BY KC were incredibly influential and unlikely to recur. |

I agree with this. Added some additional thoughts in red.

Hembo had that stat on Get Up. He never clarified road or home. His point was coming off an emotional game that goes OT is usually a disadvantage to that team. Cincinnati also has an extra day off. Just things to ponder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
I will be curious to see how Joe reacts to Arrowhead loud... the LSU stadium, the loudest in the SEC, was measured at 130 db and we know that Arrowhead is in the 140s... So, we will see how much or little it matters to him.
I am looking forward to seeing how much pressure we can get with the front four and occasional blitz from our secondary. |

Playing in a loud (loudest) NFL stadium where he is playing against equal or superior talent requires more precise pre-snap communications and that’s where he’ll feel the crowd noise impact the most. |
That asshole was throwing to Chase and Jefferson. He’s good but he had a TON of talent around him.
|
Joe Burrow definitely had parents that told him he was special every moment, of everyday.
|
And I don’t hate Burrow. He’s a likable kid.
But I do hate the fact that everyone is scrambling to prop someone up to be at the level, or better, than Mahomes. Just admit that Mahomes is the top and then go from there. Jesus Christ. If Mahomes was on the Cowboys…he’d already have a bust created and be fitted for a gold jacket. |

Ja’Marr Chase Justin Jefferson Thaddeus Moss Terrace Marshall Clyde Edwards-Helaire A freshman Tyrion Davis-Price (1,000 yards from scrimmage this year) And oh yeah, his OL: Saahdiq Charles (WFT) Lloyd Cushenberry (DEN) Damien Lewis (SEA) Yeah, that offense was insane. |
Quote:
Don't get me wrong, Dorsey was a fine college quarterback. But Burrow is obviously next level. I think that LSU season is probably the most impressive college football season in my lifetime. 15-0 through the SEC West including a win AT Alabama and a total of 7 wins against Top 10 opponents. I just don't know how that can be topped. It was a remarkable season. |
Tyreek may want to save his deuces sign until he's already in the end zone to avoid a taunting penalty.
The taunting rule is bullshit but considering the ridiculous uproar over him not getting flagged on that 64 yard TD reception, the refs may flag him for it in this game. If Tyreek was flagged for taunting during the act of the play would that have negated the TD, whereas if he did it after scoring in the end zone it is just a dead ball excessive celebration penalty? |

I understand it sucks to not have fun, but holy shit man the Super Bowl is on the line... it's NOT worth it. |

This is simple, you play zone every single ****ing snap. The Bengals line is ass so making him make reads is more time...if you go man he's literally just going to Chuck it up betting his WR will win.

JFC Spags... with or without Mathieu on Sunday, just ensures this never happens again with Sorensen:

Does Dan know he plays safety?

Why aren't we just bracketing Chase and Higgins and telling them to beat us with Mixon, Boyd and Uzomah? People would take away Hill and Kelce from us, why aren't we doing it to the Bengals? Easier said than done, but those three aren't good enough to beat us. Burrow needs Chase or Higgins to have big games to keep up with us imo. Uzomah is slower than most TEs, you can have LBs on him, especially Gay and Bolton. Mixon is a 10 - 15 RB in the league and Boyd is good, but still a #3. I would say equal to Pringle/Hardman.

Quote:
In reality if you do enough with zone to make him have to make reads he'll hold the ball, he always does it, they're like sucks but he's bad at holding the ball against zone.. If he sees man he literally will just chuck it up betting his guy will win. Tennessee played all zone..9 sacks. |

If I were zac Taylor, I'd be drawing up the plays to make my top two targets my decoys for the first series or two. Have the other guys be my first reads for Burrow. Buffalo took what we gave them but a lot of that was Allen scrambling to buy time then hitting his guy. I feel pretty good about us shutting down buffalo's main targets. As long as Burrow doesn't have the time to get to his 3rd and 4th reads, we should be able to get enough stops to outscore them.

Here are their drives: 6 plays, 22 yards, field goal (started deep in Tennessee territory after a pick) 3 plays, -4 yards, punt 6 plays, 61 yards, field goal 6 plays, 28 yards, punt 11 plays, 39 yards, field goal 7 plays, 58 yards, end of half 9 plays, 65 yards, touchdown 3 plays, 5 yards, punt 1 play, 0 yards, interception 6 plays, 32 yards, punt 6 plays, 5 yards, punt 4 plays, 19 yards, field goal Once Tennessee got within 7 late in the game, Cindy’s offense basically stalled completely. Their only points came from that late Tannehill interception. Only 3 drives over 40 yards. Only 2 of those resulted in points. Pretty bad performance by the Bengals offense. |

The NFL Pro Bowl may be the worst professional "all star" game in existence, because it's not actually a game, but an exhibition, and almost none of the top tier stars plays hard because they don't want to cost themselves millions of dollars because of an injury in said exhibition.

If Fenton, and a motivated HB show up Sunday we should be able to squeeze the life out of their offense. I’m glad we’ve played them already, and they gave us all they had. We know what to expect, but they have no clue about what’s gonna happen to them Sunday. This time is at Arrowhead, against playoff Patrick. Good ****ing luck!! |

Wow, perfect weather conditions. Sunny, light winds, mid 40s.

This game won’t be close.
Super Bowl won’t be either. Kansas City Chiefs are the Super Bowl champions once again. The real Super Bowl was on Sunday at 5:40. |

And it's going to happen. Might not be shells like Mahomes had to work around and adapt to, but some team is going to make him look kind of stupid at some point. I imagine people will just go, "Well, that was a rough one for Burrow, but he's a great QB and he'll work it out." They'll give him all the passes and patience that they didn't get Mahomes and Andy ****ing Reid this past season. Seriously. Did people really think that Andy Reid with a QB like Patrick Mahomes wasn't going to figure out a way to go back to bazooka big point totals? |

Chiefs were routing them...take Chase out of the equation (Diggs) and see if they can match points. Their offensive output was essentially 3 big plays...
I was reading their live game thread vs. KC...and they were saying they were over-matched...out-classed...not ready....some were saying they were going to turn off the game. This was the first half.. Spags wasn't game planning around a rookie WR in the first meeting...he is now. Chiefs have the superior coaching...that will be the difference...and the crowd noise with that horrific O-line. Chiefs weren't utilizing Jerick McKinnon yet...so that will be a factor. KC doesn't generally sleepwalk in the playoffs...like they did in the 3rd quarter. That was classic Andy taking his foot of the pedal with a lead. |

If anyone told you at the beginning of the season- that the Bungholes would be the only team left standing in the way of the CHiefs going to their 3rd straight SB- would you have believed it?

Cincy is good with a lot of offensive talent, but they are young and inexperienced. Congratulations on them making it to the AFCCG, but they did not get there by putting on a show like KC did last Sunday. The Bengals beat the Raiders by only scoring two TDs and coming very close to OT against LV. They beat Tennessee more because Tannehill was trash and Vrabel coached poorly than anything the offense did. Playoff KC and playoff Mahomes are a different animal as Buffalo found out. I think KC wins by double digits.
