That's what good teams are supposed to do. [Reply]

They thought Burrow would cover all that up. They thought they'd re-invent the wheel and load up on weapons while throwing out 5 guys that they thought were 'good enough' to get the job done.
You notice that with a good QB and a good O line it really helps to cover up some deficiencies in the WR room. Though Mahomes really helps to smooth a lot of that out. [Reply]

Reminds me of the Bengals 2022 Playoff run when Bengals D carried Joe to the Super Bowl.
Unfortunately, Joe couldn’t get it done when the spotlight turned to him. [Reply]
I for one enjoy that there are haters. The first 20 something years of my fandom I didn't notice much of that, outside of division rival trash talk. Besides us Chiefs fans hating the QBs. [Reply]
At least the Bengals have actually beaten the Mahomes Chiefs in a meaningful game. It's a better rivalry than with the Bills where it's just so one-sided. [Reply]

The Chiefs had to completely shit themselves for the Bengals to win, though. I don’t think you’ll ever see them collapse like that in a playoff game again after what we’ve seen the past two years, at least not with this current core of guys.
They’ve gone up against all odds the past two seasons and just flipped the freaking switch come playoff time and go into God mode, especially Mahomes. The whole team just feeds off his energy and intensity and does the same. On top of that, there is just so much young talent that has already done and seen it all, the lights will never be too bright for them.
That’s not to say the Bengals couldn’t steal the AFC this year, anything can happen. However, they’ve already kind of missed their window with this current group. The Chiefs roster is much stronger than the team the Bengals beat in the playoffs, and theirs is nowhere close to as good. Mahomes is better and has gained 1000 experience points since then. Plus, we have Andy and Steve. I’m taking us nine times out of ten. [Reply]

Mahomes is to the point he's dumping talent points into Behind the Back Pass because what else is he going to spend them on [Reply]
