****Official Bengals vs. Chiefs New Years Eve Gameday Thread****

[LoneWolf]

It’s time to end the mistakes. It’s time to end the losing. It’s time to start our run to the Super Bowl!!

**** these chili on spaghetti eating sister ****ers! Let’s end 2023 showing the league that this shit still runs through KC.

On a quick retrospect the Chiefs dominated.

Yep. Don't GAF. GDT are a place to be an emotional vag from time to time.

imagine going through life being so clueless and wrong that you're only hope of being right is hoping the chiefs lose on a message board full of chiefs fans...lol

losers, traitors & cowards

They don't like the high then low of losing a close game. So they try to convince themselves not to get too hopeful...or they're of the "hit reset on the video game" generation that just throws their hands in the air after any adversity and want to try something else.

sure there was. We scored before the half and carried that momentum into the second half.

Congrats to the Chiefs for clinching the West Division Title! (Again)
Eight years straight!

Wish it hadn't been so difficult this year though.

Relax dude, we won a Superbowl last year and yes we're a lowly 3 seed but after being a Chiefs fan throughout the 80's and 90's I'll take my chances with this years team over any of the teams from the 80's, 90's and even up until the end of Pissoli. Chillax dude we got a great defense and Mahomes.

If your reason for optimism after the past month was that the Chiefs kicked a FG before halftime, I don't know what to tell you.

The correct answer, if there is a correct answer, is that Patrick Mahomes is on the Chiefs.

Relax? I completely agree with everything you said there. Any team with Mahomes can win a SB.

Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Ming was predictably absent after last week. If you’re gonna be a dickhead at least be consistent.

But will it keep them from being sloppy and undisciplined?

That is part of the growing stronger. But let’s be honest, this is far from a perfect team this year. However, they only need to be perfect when it matters most to go the distance.

There was one fairly optimistic element of the game at halftime IMHO. In the first half the Bengals dominated time of possession, dominated the turnover battle, got an extra possession in the first half from the opening kickoff...and still only had a 4 point lead at the half. They had everything in their favor and still didn't have a really strong lead.

In the second half the Chiefs were able to tighten the screws on defense, forced a Cincy turnover on 4th down, and KC did enough on offense (including time of possession) to push the game in their favor. Butker was phenomenal across the whole game.
