I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

Mahomes already won with less.
Skip has been a professional troll/moron his entire career. Very few take him seriously, especially former coworkers. Just had lunch with Shannon Sharp. He’s happy to meet Skip at the George Brett statue anytime. :-) [Reply]

Spags does a wonderful job disguising and saving a big time blitz for end of the game situations. He's brilliant.
However, Burrow has to know something like that's coming and check out/account for it.
Especially in the last AFCC game. Spags overloaded the right side of the D-Line and had Chris Jones on the left side all alone lined up against freaking Hakeem Adeniji (the turnstile). Burrow has got to see that and check out of a play or at least move someone over to help chip.
But nope. Jones blows right by Adeniji, big sack. Chiefs ball. Game over. :: similar on last drive this past Sunday.
Gotta believe Burrow will learn/develop that stuff. He's gotta do better there.
Slide protections, I guess?
Some of the views/breakdowns we've seen of that play are just crazy. I mean the Chiefs not only sent extra pressure, they managed to bracket Chase AND still have a numbers advantage on the stack side of the field.
I mean it had to feel like they had 13 guys on the field for Burrow.
I almost felt bad for the dude. Then I remembered that he has frosted fucking tips.
But man, I don't really know what Burrow could've done there. Because if he slides protection and then Connor doesn't come, now what?
I really think all anyone in Cincy could do on that play was tip their cap. That thing was just dead. [Reply]

Penalties this year and in the AFCC game were legit. Penalty is a penalty, no complaining here. My issue is with the team having 7th round rookie and a young guy last year committing these boneheaded mistakes in end of the game critical situations. Personnel issues by the team having them in the game is my gripe.
Most complaining about refs I see from all fan bases are opponents O-line not being called for holding all game long or wanting pre-snap penalties. Egregious ones are called. But honestly, if they called every little holding throughout the game it was absolutely suck. There would be a penalty every play it would be awful to watch.
Due to the Chiefs' success, they are now getting the "Patriots treatment" from the nation about "refs cheating and favoring them". It comes with the territory. You gotta ignore that BS.
And I agree, I think it's turning into a real rivalry between these teams. These games are always tight and tense. Gotta love it.
Obviously, I'm hoping they get to play again in a meaningful playoff game this year. But, to even get there, assuming health, the Bengals have to "nut up" and make a consistent run or they may not even make it in the playoffs. We'll see.
Nice sane take. Welcome!
Mahomes will rip your heart out next time too. ………Obligatory add to not get run out of town on a rail myself. [Reply]
