Burrow looked like he did in the AFCCG a couple of years ago...game on the line and takes a sack.

I'm not sure why people are talking them up other than his stats...clutch QBs dont lose 8 one score games.

Burrow still hasn't thrown a 4th quarter TD in the post-season...he's definitely a good QB but not in the same class as Mahomes/Allen. He's had two #1 WR's his whole career and when Higgins went out...so did their offense.

I didnt take you as a conspiracy theorist like all of the other nutballs.

You really think the NFL would rather have Nix/Allen over Burrow/Allen?

Donks get in...that game will be over by halftime.

Give that man a $200 million contract!

sooo salty LMAO

Don't the Bengals need Miami to lose also?


Bengals fans gotta feel confident about Chiefs winning, supposedly it's all rigged in their favour all season.

Yep

It's only favoritism when it works against you...they get to live vicariously, tomorrow, rooting for the Chiefs...and experience what it's like to be the chosen franchise.

All those complaints about false starts suddenly dissipate into the aether...missed holding calls, they didn't see anything...late PI calls..."if it's a penalty in the 1st quarter, it should be a penalty in the final 2 minutes".

It was one of the most blatant PIs you’ll ever see. LMAO

KC haters’ New Year’s resolution should be learning the rules.

Dude is weird

Yes. If Miami wins it's over. If Denver wins its over. They need both to lose.

At this point I’d rather see Wentz end Denver in humiliating fashion, and then watch the Bills Mafia meltdown after going one and done.:)

Trey, chase, tee. Bengals can probably keep one of those guys. Two if they're lucky. And losing any of those guys is really gonna hurt

I want to see the Chiefs end Denver’s best team in a decade.

I have no idea what some people are thinking. Losing to Denver is not something I can remotely tolerate.

Yeah, DJLN had a good post on it. It was blatant PI, and probably still the right thing to do. It was a good route, read and throw against that coverage. It was really his only choice, because the offense executed.

This. Here is what I posted.

I posted in the GameDay thread that after rooting all season for the Bengals to miss the playoffs, I've changed my mind.

I want to play them at Arrowhead. Beat the Broncos and watch the Bengals beat the Bills next week.

Time to start a new W streak against the donx, LFG!!

I'm not sure the Bengals beat the Bills. That ****sburgh team is 1. Bad, and 2. Playing worse than they are and almost beat them. Unless the Bills completely implode, they should dog walk them.

Oh I know. I'm just saying it would be epic.

BTW, Orlando Brown is apparently texting former Chiefs teammates asking them to beat the Broncos. LMAO

The best players put up the best stats, because they're the best.

It's a good thing to have the best players, because typically that means your team is playing well and winning.

If Denver wins today i'll just shrug and say, well, the Bengals should have won more games between week 1 and week 12. It's their own fault for being in this sitch.

One thing i won't be doing is desperately rooting for anyone. I'll watch the games and when they're over, either fist pump or just go about my life as if the games never happened because i can't control any of it.

One thing i will be able to do, is laugh at you guys for losing to Bo Nix and how most of you want Denver to win because you're so utterly scared of the Bengals, you want absolutely no part of them in the playoffs.

:thumb:

So, you've never seen a KCC post before that one?

What a place we're in.

We used to be the team hoping on hope things would break our way and hope we could sneak into the playoffs only to get our hopes and dreams destroyed, either this week or next.

Now we're here for the jokes. LOL

God Bless Patrick Mahomes.

Nobody is scared of the Bengals. LMAO

Good that the Bengals won 5 straight because it means they will keep their coaching staff intact. And all the bad offenses they played masked how bad the defense is.

That guy should change the "g" to a "p".

Joe Burrow is going to soak a rope in Kerosene.

That, or, being batshitcrazy will make you...batshitcrazy.

Damn. Didn't realize Joe will be 29 next season and still hasn't won jack shit. Crazy.

Clay (ironically, the curator of the "Cowards" thread) is the only person scared of the Bengals.

I doubt you'd find a single KC fan rooting for the Bills to beat Cincinnati.

The Bengals are 60M under the cap, with another potential 28M in cuts + about 8M rollover from this year + salary cap going up next year. They have a whopping 357k in dead money.

They can easily keep all 3 if they want plus dip into free agency.

They don't have a money problem, they have a penny-pinching problem.

Right. They have cap space but how many huge signing bonuses are they gonna pay?

They'd be well-served taking that cap space and putting it into Oline and defense.

Become more balanced like they were not too long ago.

Easier said than done, though.

That's the penny-pinching part. They'd rather stay comfortable in being under the cap than spending money necessary to give them a really solid Oline and defense.

They have the money ability, they just don't have the brain ability.

This is getting a lot of run itt for something that has slim to no chance of happening. The Jets are a coin toss and the Chiefs practice squad’s double digit dogs.

No idea about the first pillow fight but I’d be shocked if Denver doesn’t win - they have so much to play for….as for the Chiefs you can talk about winning being important and being a professional and I am sure they mean it but there is an edge Denver will have bc they are desperate and need it and the Chiefs don’t. They’ll put out a professional effort with backups on the road in a playoff environment, lose, and Denver will party…….only to get smoked in Buffalo next week.

The Bungholes are going to go all in on a roster that finished 9-8 and will likely miss the playoffs?

Brilliant. LMAO

Higgins will either play for not much or walk. He can get 30 mil per year elsewhere if he stays he won't get close to that after chase gets 38.

One or two per year max.

Cheap, shitty ownership is what holds franchises back forever. Even ones that have a great QB.

It sounds crazy, but you let Chase and Higgins walk, keep drafting well and use the cap towards core positions on the team.

Kind of like what the Chiefs do, and the cheating Pats did.

Nah, the Chiefs are not scared of Cincy. Just some on here are.

Easily one of the worst takes in the history of this board, which is wildly impressive. The Chiefs (you know, the actual team and staff) aren’t afraid of the Bengals at all. A few fans may be, because, reasons. But even the majority of the fan base isn’t that way. Personally, I would absolutely love the 7th seed at Arrowhead but I don’t really care because I’m not afraid of the Bills either. Why would the lion ever fear the sheep?

A-****ing-men.

That has the be the worst part of being a fan of that team. They are close, but most likely won’t get over the hump because despite the talent and cap space, your owner is a cheapskate.

Id rather face the Bengals coming off a fistfight with the Bills than the Bills coming off curb stomping some tomato can

Cincinnati If’s

Forever and always.

That's not how it would go. Buffalo would have to play Baltimore before playing the Chiefs in AFC title game. I think you want the easiest path possible to AFC title game, which means you don't want Cincy in that 2nd round game. The absolute best case scenario might be this:

1st round - Buffalo defeats Cincy in a multiple overtime game.
2nd round - Baltimore vs. Buffalo goes to multiple overtimes.

Meanwhile Chiefs cruise to victory in the 2nd round against a team like Houston. But I don't trust Buffalo to defeat Cincy, so I want the Bengals eliminated today by Denver or Miami.

Remember Chase and “anybody but KC” when there were 2 division teams in the playoffs??

This thread should be locked after the Bengals are eliminated today. Send it to the Hall of Classics

so who gets in if the Chiefs lose and Miami wins?

The **** donk forevers.

Really great season Bengals! Clapping! You guys sure fought hard! Enjoy watching the rest of the AFC in the playoffs.

Miami would be in and the bengals and donx would be out.

Accepting their fate

You're welcome Bengals!

While watching it they can discuss with their loved ones how playoff teams are afraid of them.

Just run it 40x in a row.

JFC.

I was kinda hoping a Chiefs loss would come on some sort of crazy bullshit at the end.

Just enough for the Bengals to believe.

Nah I prefer them getting their hopes crushed early so they can dwell on KC even longer.

It's kinda nice that we pretty much know the result. This is the only stress-free game of the Chiefs season. It's cool to know a major rival in Cincy is pretty much dead in the water long before this game is over.

Another potential benefit of a blowout today is the Broncos might be able to rest some guys in the 2nd half, which helps them against Buffalo next week. We want Buffalo to have a really hard time in the first two rounds.

Sorry RFaulk, they didn't even try!

They finished the season at 9-8, yet their hatred for KC is so great that you have them blaming an obvious PI for why they will be watching the playoffs from home.

Maybe protect your QB better you salary cap burden.

Bye bye Fauker

Oh, it's the outcome i expected. No biggie.

Win more games and you don't have to worry about someone helping you out. :thumb:

Heck, forget the penalty at the end of the game. Their $55M quarterback fumbled and the Chiefs directly got 6 points on the fumble. In a game decided by 1 point, that's a MASSIVE play to say the least.

It's similar to Eagle fans blaming the refs when Jalen Hurts fumbled and gave the Chiefs 7 points in a close Super Bowl. Exact same thing.

Seriously, so many missed opportunities.

Reload, make good cap decisions, draft well. Cincy still has a pretty good coach and the one thing the evades almost every NFL team: A franchise QB.

Reporters are so mad right now.

Maybe the Bungles should have won more games.

Win more games assholes. We earned the right to rest. Maybe next year don't blow ass the first 3 games.

WHEW, THANK GOODNESS WE ARE PURPOSELY LOSING TO AVOID THE 9-8 BENGALS

This is the way.

They are going home becuase they stunk and lost 8 games. Whinny babies blaming us for resting players.

Pretty sure Joe Burrow attended Diddy parties and will be going to jail in the offseason.

Sorry, Bungholes. It’s over.

Bengals fans having to sit and watch this game and hope for some kind of miracle is extremely satisfying to me. What a disgraceful fanbase, they deserve every bit of this beatdown.
