I've never really hated teams solely based on one being better than the other... if it wasn't for the early internet days of obnoxious Broncos fans in the 90s, I'd barely acknowledge their existence given how irrelevant one or both teams have been since then. Same for the Raiders and Chargers (since I'm too young to have witnessed the real Raiders rivalry).

The Bengals are really the only team that's over-reached in the Mahomes era (and not just fans, like all the reeruned Bills trolls), basically begging the world to hate them.

Cincinnati seems to bring out the inner douche bag

Burrow threw two INT's in the fourth quarter at home and they lost. That's pretty shitty.

Joe "Choke" Burrow

HAHA THEY HATE ORLANDO

Chiefs fans are just a bunch of haters. We stole your LT and now our O-line is drastically better. To the ship! /reeruned bungle fan

Yeah, but he's 4-1 against Mahomes and lost in the Super Bowl to Matt Stafford.

Best QB in football as long as he has all 3 of his #1 caliber WRs full healthy and doesn't have to move in the pocket. Then he's totally nails. :thumb:

The Bengals are 31st in opponents' yards per play and may have lost their best defender for the year.

In spite of three turnovers and a bunch of penalties, Houston put up 544 yds on Cincy's home field.

Rfaulk's undying optimism is nice and all, but the Bengals will be lucky to get into the playoffs, much less beat KC.

As it turns out you can't just lose your two starting safeties in the offseason and be OK on defense.

Just watched Stroud convert a 3rd and 14.

Bengals D = WASHED

orlando is so mid...CONSTANTLY getting beat around the edge or getting his fat ass pushed into the QB

Teams got them figured out. They have no run game. Pressure Burrow and mistakes happen.

Texas-sized feast yesterday 'cause they knew he was throwing. If you can get pressure on Joe, bad things happen.

Chase balled out yesterday with a bad back but not enough against a bottom-feeding team.

You get pressure on Joe and he's gonna throw his patented jump ball right into triple coverage.

Guy is built to wither under heat.

Bengals will be 5-5 after this Thursday's game with the Ravens at Baltimore.

After coming off a loss the Ravens will be out for vengeance.

Bengals might not even reach the playoffs this year.

I don't really care who wins, but I prefer the Bengals to win to give the Ravens another loss.

AFCN has a rough go the rest of the way, will be interesting to see who emerges. House money has to be on the Ravens, but any of these teams could make it interesting. Hard to imagine Pitt contuing their bizarre season (-30 point differential), but who knows.
