Yep- I was there too. My hate for the Bengals lives on.

I always laugh at what Hines Ward did to Keith Rivers and what Juju did to Burfict just because of that hit on Green.

Gosh why don't teams just play us like the Bucs did???


:facepalm:

Laughable that people spend that much time and effort trying to sound smart only to sound so goddamn stupid.

But will he be a sitting duck or will he be running for his life? :hmmm:

“Push around the Chiefs OL”

Easy to do with backups and an elite pass rush.

Not so easy to do with Brown, Thuney, Humphrey, and Smith

Hopefully they try that game plan and find out our entire starting offensive line is actually playing instead of injured.

Green took a lot of wicked hits during his career. His knee got shredded by Rodney Harrison on a cheap shot low hit (which led to the Kurt Warner saga). He also got knocked out playing for Miami blocking a defensive lineman for the Texans. He took a knee to the helmet and got knocked cold. But this hit in KC was the worst one. Just brutal.

And who cares about a hit 15 years later... it doesn't make the entire Bengals organization a bunch of dirty hitting fools a decade and a half later.

It sucked at the time, but there's zero 'revenge' factor.

I just love the idea that he knows something the rest of the AFCW doesn't.



Well I mean except the Raiders

Just FYI: This is the hit he took playing for the Dolphins after he left KC. Also a brutal concussion:

The Raiders went out and got Burfict for the specific purpose of killing Mahomes.

My post was a joke that they refuse to play two high safeties despite this being the only chance you have to beat the Chiefs

Its clear that this person hasn't watched a recent Chiefs game given his analysis of our O-line

Yeah, well that whole BS about pushing our line's fudge in is extra stupid, especially considering the only guy left starting from that SB line is Wiley, and he's a backup for Niang. Everybody else is new.

I was at that game had just got a hot dog so watched the play on those little tvs they had on the concourse. I saw him slide and Geathers come in so I looked away quickly because I knew it was going to be bad. I want to say he was down for a good 20 mins or so I thought he may have died. That was a nasty play.

Listen the best way to beat the Chiefs is to shut Kareem Hunt down the second he gets the ball

and improved.

Dadgum Chiefs. I tell you what. They gonna win.

It's sad no one has corrected them yet.

It's like.... if their mods would grow a pair, they could have some intelligent conversation where opposing fans would calmly explain how the Chiefs' offensive line was completely decimated and then rebuilt in the offseason. And in turn, we would learn some things about the Bengals.

Good luck "getting physical" with this lineup, its a whole different beast lol

Cincy fans you're actually my mistress team, like yourselves, small market Chiefs fans well know the pain of decades of irrelevance

If you're not playing us, I'm pulling for you... Burrow is 100% legit and you're really starting to put something together back east there

But you guys aren't ready for allllll of this just yet, the Chiefs are rolling into your town with a 100 mile head start on the learning curve

LMAO @ your avatar

I lived in Georgetown Kentucky for 7 years...35 miles south of Cincy. The first year I lived there everyone raved about Skyline Chili and said I had to try it....it was to die for.

After eating about a third of it I was begging for something to wash the taste away. Luckily for me there was one of those hole in the wall BBQ places near my house and the guy who owned it grew up in KC.

I never darkened the door of a Skyline Chili diner the remainder of the 6 additional years I lived there.

The other thing there I could never get a taste for....Ale Eight soda.

Bengals fans are claiming that KC won’t be able to exploit their OL because apparently their pass rush is terrible. Think they might be in for a rude awakening.

Peter Warwick I think.

Collinsworth and Boomer Esiason both dote on the Been Gals all the time on the national broadcasts. Guess I can understand that.

Think we can teach Williams and Gore how to do the Icky Shuffle?

Skyline expanded to Lexington within the past few years as well.

I never had Ale 8, though many of my friends were/are obsessed with it.

Hot Brown sandwiches are actually good. Gold Star is also shit as is LaRosa's. UDF is great, though.

there's a lot of old chiefs fans still mad about a hit some old raider put on some old chief back when calvin coolidge was president. probably meant more if you were alive to see it. i guess it's true. revenge is a dish best served cold. ice cold.

trent green shall not have died in vain. he will be avenged.

Dude, you're going to have to translate some of this Bengalbonics. You speak a language I don't understand.

Ale 8 is a caffeinated ginger ale made somewhere in Kentucky. I have no fricking Idea what a Hot Brown is (is that like a Hot Carl?) Or the other stuff either... What is "UDF?" Is that like a bladder infection??

Is their local beer of choice still Little Kings? That stuff is nasty!

My mother once told me my worst personality trait was that I irrationally held grudges like a pit bull.

I've never forgiven her for telling me that.

And make sure to cover Le'Veon Bell out in the flat...

Their claim to fame BBQ is Montgomery Inn.

Boiled meat covered with sweet BBQ sauce.

Awful.

Natives love it. They just don't know any better.

I was given a bottle of that sauce once. It was basically like Hunt's or Kraft. It was like tomato flavored pancake syrup with liquid smoke added. I threw it out.

They have to put chili on hot dogs because they are too stupid to properly cook a hot dog **** Cincinnati

A hot brown is an open-faced Turkey sandwich that’s native to Kentucky: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Brown

UDF is United Dairy Farmers, which is a gas station that is common in Cincinnati/Ohio that also serves ice cream.

Been watching some of the Bengals game replays....

They are surprisingly very basic. Seems like their M.O. is to simply line up and beat you...

Not a lot of motion on offense (they line up and run a play for the most part). When they do motion, it's short quick motions, but they don't even do that a lot. I've never understood NFL teams who don't motion, because all that does is give you information and dictate match-ups. But hey, I'm not an NFL coach, so who am I to question it

On Defense, they don't blitz much, and when they do, they often still only send 4 (i.e. they'll blitz a LB or DB, and drop a DE into coverage quite a bit).

On Offense, it seems their "explosiveness" comes purely from their athletic receivers and a QB in Burrow that can sling it (see my comment above on motion). Mixon is a nice running back, but doesn't really do anything that amazes you. OL seems steady at times, rough at others. I thought their Offense was a little "49ers-esque" (Burrow is way better than Jimmy Grapes), and they do rely on a lot of play-action and misdirection to free guys up

On D: I don't get all the love for Bates....seems like he's in single high most of the time, about 15 - 25 yards off the ball.....wouldn't surprise me if we never hear his name on Sunday. He's just too deep. Seems like their LBs are liabilities, but their DL can get some pressure at times. they will mix in some 2 deep, but they man up a lot, and mix in the zones and zone blitzes....but they are rushing 4 95% of the time (estimate)

I was shocked at how vanilla they seem to play....again with their explosiveness coming purely from their athletic WRs. They're obviously a good team, and an ascending team, but my gut feel is that they're not quite ready for prime time yet....

In regards to this game:
-If the Bengals consistently rush 4, that will be problematic for them. We will need to be prepared for a zone type blitz, which, at this point in the season, it's probably much easier to prep for.
-I don't see any way they can stay in one high like they seem to like to play. They aren't going to be able to man up, particularly if LBs are in
-LBs are liabilities...we will definitely take advantage of that
-I like the fact that they don't motion a lot....this will give the D opportunity to play games with Burrow.
-I expect their athletic WRs to win some one-on-one matchups. they simply are that good and Burrow can make throws....but I don't see them running wide open all over the field.
-If we can get some pressure with front 4, we will be just fine


Color me a little underwhelmed....I could easily see the Chiefs covering the spread in this one.

LOL

This is going to be a reckoning.

There is still a smidge of hope for 2-3 teams left in the AFC, including Cincy, but this win by KC will SQUASH IT.

squashed like a roach. not one stone left upon another. the ground sewn with salt.

you tell 'em the chiefs are comin. and hells comin with them.

Who here has had some of that sweet skyline Chili lately?

If you ever bought a ticket to drive thru the Christmas light display at the Kentucky Horse Park you would get a free 6 pack of Ale 8. Trust me...you didn't miss much.

Hot Browns are for people who want to drive themselves to an early grave via a Heart Attack. But they are.good...

What is the name of the donut place there in Lexington near The Big Ass Fan company that opens at 5 AM and only stays open until they sell the last donut they made that morning? Man...those donuts were pretty good.

On a side note some people in KC rave about Dixon's chili but I never cared for it at all.

As bad as that is....you have never had anything as bad as that mustard based crap (Maurice's) they have in South Carolina to go with the pork hash.

It's blasphemous...

We will never forget what they did to Green. The only way a vendetta gets settled is when they get an ass whipping from Mahomes. o:-)

Steelers just got theirs, now it is Cincy's turn.

Then you still moved to a state with no coast line? What were you thinking??

It was one of the only places with no Bigfoot sightings. eDave and Bigfoot don't get along well.

It is outstanding having an O line that straight up bullies guys instead of the other way around. Yeah, they might give up a few pressures and a sack or two, but the rest of the game they are knocking guys on their asses.

I FULLY BELIEVE CHIEFS WIN but,

Joe Burrow
Ja'marr Chase
Tyler Boyd
Joe Mixon
T Higgins

We NEED this one guys. This could easily be a trap game that WE do not want! We need to beat this Bengal ass like it has never been beaten! GEAUX CHIEFS!

There’s absolutely nothing about this game that makes it a “trap” game. Both teams need this win badly to improve/solidify their playoff spots. The only bye and homefield advantage is huge!

A stooler radio analyst said last week our secondary was the weak link. Can't make this shit up. These people don't even watch Chiefs tape.

I remember when I had to scour box scores and stat leaders to convince myself the Chiefs had a chance against an elite team

https://www.reddit.com/r/bengals/com...f_kansas_city/

I mean, all the comments seem to think they are outmatched.

I'll never forgive Shawne Merriman for injuring Priest, taking him out of 2005 and 2006.

Still bitter about that shit.

I’ve seen a lot of talk from Bengals fans about how low we rank in sacks.

Did you know that since the Green Bay game (Ingram’s first game), we’ve had 15 sacks in 6 games (excluding the Charger game due to Covid issues).

That’s 2.5 per game. If we had averaged 2.5 for the entire season, then we would have 37-38 on the year. We would have the 10th most in the league.

You can’t overstate how impressive the defensive turnaround has been. You also have to flat out ignore all cumulative stats for the season. We’re much better than those numbers show.

Very similar to 2019 in terms of the turnaround on defense. The low point of both seasons happened in Nashville. Let's hope we end up seeing the same result in February 2022 that we saw in February 2020!

I’ll drink to that!!!!

So true. At full strength I don’t know that there’s a weakness on the defense. At every level they are stout. If we can get pressure with our front 4 we are going to have a lot of success with Ward, Sneed, Fenton, Thornhill, and Mathieu in coverage. Even our LBs are doing well in coverage when tasked to do so.

I watched Total Access earlier, and James Jones (I think that's his name - former Packer) said that the Bengals had a better QB, better receivers, WR & TE, and basically made it sound like the Chiefs didn't have a chance in hell to win the game.

He really said Burrow was better than Mahomes.

Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

that's a hot take is what that is. en fuego. wooooooooo

This was a terrific first post.

Kelce and Hill are going to end up in the HOF. Higgins and Boyd will NOT end up in the HOF. Maybe Chase has a great career, but it's obviously too early to tell.

Are Chase, Higgins, and Boyd a great trio of receivers? Yes. Are the 3 of them better than Hill and Kelce combined? No, absolutely FN not.

And Burrow is in no way better than Mahomes. Is Burrow having a good year? Yes. Is Mahomes having a down year compared to his first 3 seasons as a starter? Yes, but even his down year is better than Burrow's good year.

Burrow is part of a group of very talented young QBs, and if he can stay injury free it looks like he will have a great career. But Mahomes is in his 4th season as a starter, and the first 3 seasons include 3 AFC Championship games, and two Super Bowls, and it looks like his 4th season is on track for the #1 seed and another AFC Championship game.

Jones saying Burrow is better than Mahomes is just flat out ridiculous.

Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

The Bengals are a very talented team, a young inconsistent team with lots of talent. With that said they did allow a 3rd or4th string QB throw for over 300 yards on them.

The Ravens were very depleted and mostly backups, so I think they will have issues with our Offense, our defense should hold up fine.
KC 35
Cin 28

Agree, Joe Burrow is not in the same league as Mahomes,

Joe is good but PMII far better and has a lot of experience.

tigers are only a threat when in a jungle and they can pounce on you from above. put them on a savannah or tundra and they become large kitty cats.

if they don't have the high ground, bengals are cooked. we are the bengals obi wan. we have the high ground. no way they score 28.

If The Bengals do a Veach style complete offensive line rebuild this offseason, then they could well be serious contenders next year.

As it stands, right now, they're a year away. They've got talent, they've got the QB, but they're still too inconsistent and weak up front to go far this season.

That being said, any given Sunday and all of that.

That's a good young team, but they're still a year away, in my opinion.

I DO expect them to be a perennial play-off contender moving forward as long as they protect Burrow. They haven't really done that yet, which is kind of criminal. Better get on that.

Yeah that's not real chili.

Kind of like how In-A-Tub isn't real tacos.

Delicious, and almost certainly toxic, but not the thing they say they are.

Chiefs 35
Bengals 17

Red Dawg doesn't understand how a lot of things work.

I feel sorry for these national talking heads who get the assignment to say stupid shit they don’t really believe… The kid hasn’t won shit yet and he’s better than a guy who has played in 3 AFC Championships and two straight SBs, A league MVP and SB MVP and Burrows better……. Right…

It was also made possible because the Bucs had the horses to do it.
I am not sure which is worse, assuming that the Chiefs O-line is the same one from last years Superbowl, or thinking that the Bengals defense is at the same talent level as last years Bucs D. If it was as simple as that, every team we faced this year would have already done it.

They never learn

I know. Out of Patrick's 4 seasons as a starter, this is clearly his worst performance over the course of the regular season. And even his "bad year" is better statistically than almost every QB in the league.

Burrow, Murray, Allen, and Herbert are all very good QBs, but until they do something in the playoffs, they are just not comparable to Mahomes.

Even if I wasn't a Chiefs fan, I could look at the group of young superstar QBs, and conclude that Mahomes is clearly better than all of them.

Even when we had Trent Green and were winning with the best offense in football, I never once thought Green was a Top 5 QB. I get having team pride, but homers are hard to take seriously.

You KNOW that shit just pisses Patrick off.

LMAO

Exactly what I was thinking. All you have to do is look at the video of him telling the Chargers "I'm back." Patrick is soaking it up and getting ready to show them what Patrick Mahomes is really all about.

Welcome Senior Flint.

Agreed....Pat does seem to pay attention to these types of things (and take them very personally!), and when he rocks out in game, it will come back up.

On that note: Did anyone notice at the end of the Chargers game, after the final TD in OT, that Pat worded "I'm Back" as he was running down the sidelines to go celebrate, or was that just me?

I swear I saw that, but can't seem to find it again....so maybe I'm just nuts

Looks like Honey Badger is revved up extra for this game. Put this poster in his place. :LOL:

LMAO Burrow throws for 500+ last week and they are calling him the bestest QB ever.

Patrick gonna take em all to school this Sunday.

This.

Bengals are solid on O at the skill positions but terrible in the trenches. We've seen that before...doesn't work out too well against strong defenses.

They are also awful vs TEs. I mean REALLY bad. Kelce should have a career day.
