YES!

Preliminary hearing for Lammons' assault case was set today.

How is Sneed?

He was with Kamara jumping that dude.

Reid said he got hit in the nose and was fine.

Burrow is gonna throw it up for contested catches and hopes he gets interference calls
Hendrickson is still a force with a broken mitt, somehow

Broken nose courtesy of Bolton. Won't impact his availability. Probably make him more attractive to women that commonly make bad life decisions though . . .

Something i noticed, and have not verified at all, but it looked like the Bengals OL was a lot bigger than the Bills DL. Gotta wonder if that is in fact the case, and if that had something to do with why they got their shit pushed in.

Our DL is not little.

Top 8? Just by the fact Mahomes plays on on it makes it top 5 by default.

The Bills are built to beat the Chiefs.

OOPS!

Hmm. Might be something there. Never noticed that.

Personally, I think Von Miller was the Bills pass rush. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they really don't have anybody else on their DL that is better than average EDGE. There's some significant variance as to whether Rousseau is a top 15 EDGE or closer to 25, but Shaq Lawson is definitely not in the top-28, as far as I can tell.

As for their actual size, both are over 6'4" and 265 lbs.

Well, their DTs aren't that big. Oliver is 287, D. Jones is 320, they have 2 sacks apiece for the season.

I'm excited to see how the run D looks with Brandon Williams working in against the Bengals. He adds even more size there.

I also think Jones at E against Adenijiy on the right side of the OL could be a matchup that's advantageous.

Wasn't very impressed by the rushing defense against Jacksonville. They gave up 144 yards on 7.6 yards per carry. That's rough.

Is CIN still without three of their starting OL for this game? Not sure exactly how accurate it is, but ESPN has their LT, RG, and RT as OUT.

Oooooooooo

Well, so many people here think Spags carries the team, so I am sure that Spags and his genius scheme of not sacking Burrow and single covering Chase will win the game.

I'm anticipating at least one of them coming back. Cappa maybe?

No real reason as to why other than Because.

Not one person has ever even insinuated that Spags carries the team.

Maybe. CIN reporter said Cappa was still in a boot and using a scooter as of Friday last week. But it's an ankle, so he could be taking the boot off today for all we know.

We like Hussey, don't we? Screw it; as long as it's not either Cheffers or bleetman we're good.

This is.....good(???) IIRC?

Repeat
CHIEFS by 10
Book it

Maybe you should check out some threads, or comments from Meck and Staylor.

The way they praise Spags, they make it out like Mahomes is so lucky to have had Spags as his DC, or who knows how bad the Chiefs would be.

When I use stats, and facts, to talk about how bad parts of the defense are, they are quick to say Spags is a magician and the reason we won the game against the Jags.

Ron Torbert

Torbert is the dude who's big on Roughing calls, isn't he?

You're absolutely full of ****ing shit. Never have I ever said that Spags carries the team.

I've also never even said that he's an elite DC, but he's absolutely very good, hence why he's won't multiple SBs with different teams. What we try to explain to people like you is that you better be careful what you wish for, because there aren't many "very good" DCs out there either.

You morons are absolutely clueless when it comes to modern defense in the NFL. When great defenses play great QBs/offenses, the defense loses the majority of the time. Just look at the Chiefs absolutely raping the best defense in the NFL this year (49ers).

damn. I see it now. I know Torbert isn't on our list of favorite refs.

It's Torbert for the Cincy & Chiefs game. He was the ref in the first loss to Cincy and had some pretty questionable calls that helped Cincy. Scroll to the bottom where it shows the list of refs from that game.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401326571

Weird. This link says Torbert hasn't Ref'd a Chiefs game since 2020

https://www.pro-football-reference.c...s/TorbRo0r.htm

He was a substitute ref in that Cincy game. It was originally going to be someone else.

At least it's not Sean Smith who seems to love throwing the flag for "talking" or saying mean things. I've seen him do it three times this year, including to Jones in the Indy game. That soft ass **** has no business being on the field with grown men.

Detoxing, check out the 1:16 mark of this video featuring Torbert in the first matchup of KC & Cincy:

https://youtu.be/kU6yIpghmLU?t=76

Williams LT and Cappa RG listed week to week. Guy who subbed last week at LT Carman is a high pick and played well against the Bills, projected as guard. Other backup was demoted to start the season for an upgrade but started last year. Doesn't seem like a huge fall off.

https://www.profootballrumors.com/20...line-situation

Vegas line has flipped. We're now +1.

Not likely. I was listening to NFL Dr. David Chao earlier on NFL radio and he said Collins is obviously out, and the other 2 are doubtful. Said it’s possible they suit up in the case of an emergency but won’t play.

Patrick Mahomes vs Joe Burrow Head to Head per Pro Football Reference:

Patrick Mahomes
98.2 Passer Rating
6 Passing TDs
2 INT’s
757 Yards
252.3 YPG
67.3 Completion%
0-3 Record

Joe Burrow
110.6 Passer Rating
8 Passing TDs
1 INT
982 Yards
327.3 YPG
72.2 Completion %
3-0 Record

Need one of Patrick’s A games.

Cincy should be the favorites. They've won 3 in a row against KC. Their QB is not injured. They have a better roster around him too. Better defense, same guys that held a pretty good Buffalo offense to 10 points and they had that 99 yard fumble return TD on the Ravens. Same defense forced 5 turnovers in a row on Tom Brady. Same defense pulled off that crafty strip fumble on Kelce.

If only Patrick could go against the Chiefs defense instead of the Cincy defense. It's a team game.

Cincy has the better defense, maybe even by a wide margin based on some of the stuff I've seen them do this season. 5 straight turnovers on Tom Brady. Clutch strip fumble on Kelce when they really needed it. Clutch 99 yard fumble return on the Ravens when they really needed it. Holding Buffalo's explosive offense to only 10 points.

LMAO

On a monumentally stupid ****ing play by Huntley. There's absolutely no chance you'd be giving the Chiefs D credit for that, in fact, you'd be pointing to it as an example of the Chiefs D getting lucky.

If I'm going to have to read you blatantly sucking the Bengals dick like this all week, I'm going to have to put you on ignore. It's only been 24 hours and you are already unbearable with this horseshit.

Also, the Bengals were down like 17-3 at halftime to Tom Brady while the Chiefs went in there and kicked their ass from the opening KO.

Citing the Ravens and Bucs games is a ****ing joke.

Lol. Well that one worked out for us. We shall see.

I was just researching the statistical differences. I know the Bengals defense is far superior to the Chiefs and that Patrick isn’t facing the Chiefs defense. I was just doing a pure statistics comparison.

KC had a similar play against the Chargers earlier this season. It was a great defensive play, but it was also lucky for the team. Mahomes played quite poorly in that game and was bailed out by the Herbert Pick 6. And yes it was lucky for Cincy to get that crazy play on the Ravens.

But it has been a pattern with that Cincy defense. Every time they need something big to happen, their defense pulls a rabbit out of the hat. They were down 17-0 to Tampa. Suddenly 5 straight turnovers by Tampa offense. They were down to KC in the 4th quarter with KC moving the ball. Suddenly the Bengals pulled off the strip fumble on Kelce. They were in deep trouble against the Patriots and pulled off another strip fumble when they really needed it. And of course the crazy play against the Ravens when they were in deep trouble once again. In the case of Buffalo, they just kicked their ass. Very impressive to hold Buffalo to 10 points.

I see a consistent pattern of a Cincy defense pulling off pretty incredible stuff, while the media is very lazy and gives all the credit to Joe Burrow.

There's absolutely nothing incredible about a dumb ****ing backup QB putting the ball out there to be slapped out of his hands when he was nowhere near the goaline dude.

It's not even comparable to an interception at the goaline. Not even remotely close.

Far superior? Chiefs are 7th yards per play. Bengals are 19th

However you want to label it, stuff like that keeps happening for Cincy's defense when they really need it to happen. They were in deep trouble late in the game against the Patriots, Chiefs, & Ravens. All 3 of those games flipped on massive turnovers forced by Cincy's defense. They were in deep trouble down 17-0 to Brady, and suddenly Brady's offense commits 5 straight turnovers. I don't like the fact Burrow is being given credit for this stuff. It is eerily reminiscent of Brady riding the coattails of Belichick's defense in the early days of his career.

Need the defenses' A game by the looks of those numbers.

You can make the point you're trying to make without citing that play as a specific example because it's just silly.

Uhhh, well, yeah, I mean it's Joe Burrow, Jamarr Chase, Tee Higgins and company, and it's the ****ing AFC Championship game.

No shit, they need to play well.

Yup and the Chiefs don’t have top draft picks to draft a Nick Bos, Joey Bosa, Micah Parsons, etc.

They’re built on a good players. And it’s good enough.

We’ve lost to this team by 3 points each game and the offense was the main reason we lost the last 2

Is this the lamest chip on the shoulder locker room material imaginable?

No? They still have a legitimate gripe for how badly they got ****ed over in that situation. The fact they ass blasted the Bills in their own turf doesn't change that.

Hell yeah!

It is moot now.....fake outrage at this point. Just like you won't hear a peep out of me about Atlanta any more. What's the point?

Yea I think the point is that they're STILL going on about it.

This is the same idiot who thought CEH was the steal of the draft/second coming of Christ, right?

They had a legitimate gripe last week. They are trying to spin this into kc disrespecting them because people bought tickets to Atlanta. As if they weren’t buying up tickets in the event they played Jacksonville.

It’s corny. Burrow made one memorable quote and now they think it’s some kind of hilarious shtick.

They got dicked over. But they would have played 3 games no matter what. They would have played in kc at one point or another. The path they ended up led to 2 victories. This game has little to do with anything that happened. I feel like they shot their wad over the last game and are trying to reinvent that same spark they had last week. This is a pretty lame attempt at it.

It seems like Bills are not very good playing in a snow game with light winds against the Bengals.

Bengals are more beatable than the “crowd’ is making them out to be.

Chiefs need to play physical.

They’re trying to prepare for the narrative that they won because mahomes was hurt. Already looking past us and trying to play the sob story that they’re disrespected. So that’s gonna cut extra deep when they lose to mahomes even not at 100%.

Man... Kollmann talking last week about the Jags' giving the Chiefs serious concern about being out-schemed, and now it's "the Bengals might run all over them!!"

I've always respected the guy for breaking down film... but that shit is pure clickbait/mainstream media. :shake:

I’m usually pessimistic as hell but man I have such an oddly good feeling about this game…I think we’re gonna see the best version of the Chiefs Sunday that we’ve seen all year.

The smack talk from the Bengals, the premature crowning of their asses, the Chiefs as underdogs, REVENGE…all of it is just lining up.

Go fake having COVID Bates

Let’s talk about the Bengals (AFC Championship Rd)
 

Activate boner.

I totally get it, but the only thing keeping me from feeling this way is the Mahomes injury.

I know the reports have been positive, but a HAS is a HAS.

They can try to spin it however they want. MRI confirmed a high ankle sprain. Nobody is 100% healthy in a week from that injury. Maybe 4 weeks of proper rest and treatment. Would be hilarious if he lights up their defense even with the injury slowing him down.

I wonder what excuse he'll have to flop to get the clock stopped. **** that dude.

He good.

My ****ing mom has never talked to me about football before and she just asked if I watched the snow game and if I was afraid of the Bengals.

This is akin to the late 1920s when the shoe shine boy was giving stock tips right before the market crashed and the Great Depression began.

Nothing will be sweeter than taking these ****ers out at their alleged apex. Even if we lose it’s worth it to have a shot at this narrative.

The injury is a built-in excuse so it takes some of the edge off.

You know that you can feel better about a loss because Mahomes’ wasn’t 100%.

Also, the song in the video Pat posted is titled "Superhero"

:hmmm:

That's... kind of worse. LMAO

They played up to their potential in the Raiders game. Yeah, it's the Raiders, but they were ****ing on point. And prior to Mahomes' injury, they were on point the other night.

Also... he should know, who give a shit about the regular season? The Patriots were notorious for bad starts and some bad December losses.

Hell, I'd respect it more if he said "they lost to two of the three real contenders they played all season".

Glad I don't follow him on twitter, I guess... oof.

How rich that this pillowbiter is talking about injury when he faked one in our last game to cover for a 12 men on the field penalty.

Pussy

I could be wayyyy wrong but I don’t think the ankle is that bad and by Sunday he’ll be close to 100%….

I ain’t gonna feel better about losing, Pat injury or not.

Just have a good feeling…

LMAO

I'll be super ****ing annoyed all next year if it's "Bengals have won 4 in a row against the Chiefs!"

Hell, I don't give a shit about 0 for 3. Don't collapse in the 2nd half of last year's AFCCG, it's 1-2 and nobody gives a shit about the regular season losses. And they not only collapsed in the 2nd half, they won the freakin' toss and still ****ed it up.

But, whatever... 0-3 or maybe 1-2. Meh.

There would be zero footnotes for 0-4 though. It wouldn't be "0-3 and they also beat Mahomes when Mahomes only had one ankle"... nope, it's 0-4. And a chance to be 0-5 at some point in the regular season.
