That snow seemed to aid them in protection. And great receivers getting open fast can mask a lot.

Plus the Bills have been terrible against the run and their pass rush was never the same after Von Miller was lost.

I don't. We don't throw jump balls. Cincinnati does.

Allen seems like a good guy in interviews, but he acts like a Mayfield jackass on the field. Starting fights with DL (and getting away with it), throwing the ball at other teams in frustration after a play is over, etc. You can be competitive without behaving like that.

Burrow is cocky. "As long as I'm here the window is always open". That's just a little to much. What a dick!

What’s the Vegas odds?

[UChieffyBugger]

One thing that remains a fact is the Bengals are down THREE starting linemen and we got the second most sacks in the league this year. THAT IS A CLEAR WEAKNESS despite the Bills not being able to expose it. Getting to Burrow and our rungame humming are the keys to this whole thing imo.

Remember..a crap team like Tampa were 17-0 up on them. A Tyler Huntely lead Ravens and a Mac Jones lead Pats made huge errors inside the ten late to lose against Cinci and we did the same against them when Kelce fumbled. Today's performance is not who they've been all year. Their luck against us has to end at some point.

If forced between taking Allen and Burrow, I would easily pick Burrow and wouldn't think twice.

I didn't make that argument..I made the argument he's a prick.

Seriously the dude keeps running his mouth, he needs to get knocked on his ass.

They were actually 4th worst in the league total rushing yards and yards per carry.

The Bengals gashing us last time on the ground was easily the most disappointing part of that game.

I think you can pretty much throw the stats out the window to be honest. Vegas favored Buffalo by 5-6 points and they got smoked by 17 points in their own stadium. Every time someone brings up a supposed flaw with Cincy, it never shows up in the actual games.

They don't seem to have the silly mistakes like a FG kicker missing a ton of kicks, or fumbling kick returns, or fumbling in general across their team. Meanwhile THEY are the team forcing fumbles and other turnovers on the opponent every week in big moments. They're a physical team in the trenches, underrated in that regard. Great QB, great receiving weapons, 2 damn good RB's. Good enough DL/pass rush to give the other QB some trouble.

Have you seen the new tree planted in Josh Allen's memory at Arrowhead? It's a new species. It's an aidstree. Walk in to it next week.

This will be Jackson Carman's second career start at left tackle.

We're going to abuse him.

Their OL and rushing issues literally just showed up last week against the Ravens.

Burrow was sacked 4 times and hit 8 times. The Bengals were held to 50 rushing yards and 2.8 yards per carry.

The Bills have been getting gashed on the ground lately and their pass rush was never the same without Miller.

The OL is absolutely a weakness that the Chiefs should be able to exploit like so many other teams have (which is why Burrow is one of the most sacked QBs in the game and their rushing stats have been so poor). The problem for most teams is that they don’t also have the fire power to keep up with those great Cinci weapons and QB.

The Chiefs do though. There are zero excuses for the defense to get gashed again by the Bengals and to not put Burrow on his ass multiple times.

If they don’t take advantage of those OL issues, the Chiefs will lose and deservedly so.
