This isn't just taking a shot because my team lost, or taking a shot because i don't like a team but the facts are, if you paid attention to the game, the deep shots you hit were single coverage with the CB playing trail technique only they didn't have decent safety help. That was just plain stupid. The running game was good because the Bengals have been terrible at tackling this year--probably because they have a penchant for stripping the ball--and they didn't get the same results this year that they did the previous 2 and the LB play has been much worse this year. Wilson and Pratt have been out of position way too often this year and were easily wiped out of plays, unable to get off blocks consistently.

On offense, it's starts with the QB and Burrow was once again unable to even practice during TC, no preseason snaps and they decided to run him out there as a statue and let him play to health, which i didn't have a problem with and which he eventually did, but then he ****ed up his wrist by simply bracing himself after a hit. Now the very legitimate question is, is Burrow physically able to play in the NFL, with how many injuries and dings he's accumulate over the first 4 years. Tee injured again and again and Ja'Marr checks out if doesn't get the ball early, especially with Burrow out. I won't even bother going into the running game and how the trench guys seem to be physically weaker than most teams because they get knocked off the LoS so easily and aren't able to sustain or shed blocks for very long/easily.

I know you all think things are going to magically fall into place, but it's not going to happen this year but like you said, you've been able to enjoy the last 5 years, so the end of the line doesn't hurt as much. I get that and i'd rather be there than here.

Man, you’re really taking this hard.

Where can I find last February’s Super Bowl on VHS? This ain’t 1985, McFly.

You’re shook. You know that KC’s one WR away from these games not even being competitive. The Bengals, meanwhile, are moving in the wrong direction. They don’t even have a defense anymore, and they’ve never had an offense that produced in the playoffs.

Did the Chiefs just slam your window shut? :eek:

"right back up the chiefs asses next year" lol

The chiefs ended your playoff hopes. Twice in the same year. Is that what you mean by up the chiefs asses?

Even with your problems this year, you should have beaten the bengals by more than one score on your own turf.

I've said for years you need an offense that can score 30+ on pretty much anyone, because once you get to the CG/SB level, most every team can and will do the same.

For the Chiefs to get to the SB this year though.... yeah, things could definitely fall into place where they don't need to be lights out on offense or even above average. The challenge with that is obviously staying healthy across the board, and even then the margin of error is going to be thin.... and there's still a chance of facing the Bills or a chance the Ravens are actually for real this time.

Until proven otherwise, this is a ****ing weak ass playoff field on the AFC side... I'm curious about the Browns, curious (but not at all optimistic) about the Ravens, curious about the Bills if they get in.

But, this isn't 2021 or 2022, staring down the Bengals and Bills.
