Honestly, the more I think about this the more I'm worried about it.

We let a high-quality, albeit probably the wrong scheme fit, LT go to our #1 enemy to plug their top weakness.

I DO NOT trust Karlaftis to beat OBJ.

Chiefs might see this as a minor downgrade, or sideways move, internally but the Bengals just go a lot better and we'll probably see them again in the AFC Championship.

I don't dispute that at all but the Bengals would never pay a S that much.

Karlaftis is much stronger and faster than OBJ.

I'm saying Burrow has missed no games due to injury the last 2 years.

Was just thinking the same thing. He generally seemed like a good dude, hate it for him personally, but sometimes lessons are learned the hard way.

in KC the chiefs did a masterful job of hiding his liabilities, and even when they were exposed, mahomes kept the damage to a minimum

in cincy? the QB takes sacks like his life depends on it and their offense is probably going to be tasked with even more heavy lifting now that their defense is losing pieces

this is a questionable signing, especially when your arch rival is loading up on pass rushers this offseason and you play in a division with three absolute beasts coming off the edge six times a year

You should stick to memes and videos.

We just "closed the deal" on our second Super Bowl in the last 4 years. Those ****ers haven't even won one and they've been trying for nearly 60 years.

Something else I hadn’t considered with Taylor… having played in a pederson offense, veach probably has a real good read on what he’s gonna get with him.

you have no idea what you have unleashed

one of the biggest advantages you had on KC was your ability to pressure mahomes with fewer rushers

the chiefs now have that advantage on you, whilst simultaneously neutralizing your advantage in that regard

you're going to have to beat us left handed next year

We won a superbowl so thank you Brown. I wish him the best.

Chiefs wanted to move on and its great they did not give him that contract last year. Not great he went to Cinn but it could have been another good team. Chiefs sticking to their plan. Its working.

Strog post.

Jonah Willams was #1 and #2 in sacks given up the past 2 years. OBJ is better than any tackle the Bengals have put out there in that time and he's missed zero games due to injury.

He missed the Bengals game of all games in 2021 due to injury.

WTF does that have to do with anything?

Do you even realize Joe Burrow was pressured LESS than Mahomes last season?

This is because, for much of the season, our tackles were ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.

You're going to give up more pressure with Orlando, with a QB who is less suited to escape it.

We're going to ****ing murder you ringless bitches. You're a pathetic footnote in our dynasty. We will walk over your cold corpses.
