Chiefs We are hands down a better team, and you all know it. - Page 4

Both teams averaged 6.5 Yards per play.

The Bengals just kept the ball away from the Chiefs.

The Chiefs once again shat down their leg and made mistake after mistake. If Kelce doesn’t fumble that ball we probably win

Embarrassing thread. The Bengals own KC right now, give them their due and move on.

I do think the Bengals are in their heads and they try to do to much instead of just playing the way they normally do.

Yeah, that TD run by Mahomes was crazy risky and he made some impatient/pressing throws... it's really my only concern for a 4th match up.

**Bearcat** · 12-05-2022, 08:25 AM

Thinking back on the 3 games...
The first one was very much a tale of two halves and I'd say pretty damn even.
The AFCCCG, I'd say the Chiefs played better in the first half than the Bengals did in the 2nd.... or it certainly felt like that at the time.
And even with the defensive woes yesterday, it felt like the Chiefs had as much control over that game as any other from the point it was 14-10 with 7 minutes left in the first half until the 4th down and missed FG in the 4th (despite the ugly beginning and finish).

So, still not agreeing with OP's conclusion, but can definitely see the glimmer of hope and why it doesn't feel like it should be 0 for 3. We are very much used to the offense getting shit done late in the game and it just hasn't worked out all 3 times or it really could be 3 for 3... again, even with how bad they've looked at times in all 3 games (and the Bengals have had plenty of moments where they didn't execute, too).

Hopeful it doesn't get in their heads and if there's a rematch, they just go out and do their thing as opposed to thinking they have to go for it every 4th down or whatever.

The Chiefs are NOT the better team.

The Bengals live rent free in the Chiefs heads.

Two of your best Wr's are hurt right now. So there is that.

The 3rd down throw from Burrow to close out the game…

Man-coverage underneath. Higgins on the slant route. Can see the ball location here. pic.twitter.com/fkVJwRu6OF

I mean, I'd say we played that about as well as you can. Ball just missed 2 Chiefs defenders hands.

Hey Frank - maybe don't spin out of the passing lane there, big fella. It's a stunt - hit your seam and if it closes, get your hands up.

O.city · 12-05-2022, 08:36 AM

eh, Karlaftis is right there.

I dunno guys. I mean, it seems like the god damn ball just bounces Cinci's way every time we play that group.

RaidersOftheCellar · 12-05-2022, 08:38 AM

You have to give the opponent credit for 3 straight, but everyone suddenly conceding that Cincinnati is superior is ridiculous. They're going to have to beat KC convincingly, without relying on flukery and major help from the refs, before I would concede that. This game was well in control before the fumble. And they were incredibly lucky to have that INT nullified, along with 3-4 more back-breaking calls.

Sure, they won in the trenches. That's happened a MILLION TIMES in the Mahomes era. When Mahomes went 14-1 in 2020, it was seemingly happening on a weekly basis, yet they were clearly the class of the AFC.

When was the last time KC beat the Chargers convincingly? Is there any doubt which team is superior?

Yeah, that's a good comparison for the whole "imagine another team saying they're clearly better".

When the Chargers were at full strength (first meeting this year), yeah, I'd say there was some doubt. LAC is extremely talented, but they have too many injuries now to be elite.
