Bengals know they can beat us at Arrowhead bc they’ve done it before. Their defense knows how to play Mahomes and make hims work for points and they have good WR’s to attack our weakness at CB2/CB3 as well as an elite DE to attack our weakness at LT.
Doesn’t mean anyone is scared of them. It simply means they are a bigger threat than the other AFC teams and should be acknowledged as such.
I think the Steelers could be the biggest threat this year.
Opportunistic defense versus a Chiefs offense prone to turnovers.
Watt vs. our LT.
Jump balls vs. our CBs.
We should beat them but they're a different challenge than either Buffalo or Baltimore who are offense driven. Wilson isn't Lamar or Allen but he probably doesn't need to be the way Pittsburgh wins games. [Reply]

I agree they're our biggest threat, but I dunno if they'll be able to get away with the dropping 3 shit they normally pull. If we pound them with Hunt and Pacheco we might be able to run them out of that with the way this team is built. I know we played them a few weeks ago, but that was before we added Kareem back and found this power running identity. [Reply]

For some reason scoring points makes NFL fans think teams are "scary " and "dangerous " even when for the most part their roster is pure shit with holes everywhere. But when it's a defensive style team they "suck" [Reply]
