Bengals at Bills in Divisional kicked off with Bills favored (-6)

The main reason the Bills got dominated was that Bills are not built to play on a snowy field compared to the Bengals.

The betting line movement in the AFC Championship is also based on the idea that the Bengals dominated the Bills not just the Mahomes ankle sprain.

Jags v. Chiefs was tied 7-7 when Mahomes sustained the injury. Jags had to kick FG and onside kick for a chance to tie and Chiefs won 27-20.

This game will be played at Arrowhead on the amazing grass field with undersoil heating.

I saw a tweet last week from Travis Hogan, head groundskeeper, and learned that they actually grow and mow that grass in January. That is amazing to grow grass outside in KC climate in January.

My point is the Bengals were 6 point dogs at Bills and their offensive line injuries added points to that number. Just because those backups had no problems with the Bills defense in a snow game does not mean the Bengals OL cannot be had in a game played on a quality surface.

Whodey is nobody this week apparently because the football world is completely giving no credit to how much the Bengals domination of the Bills depended on the snow and how that affected the game.

It is kinda funny but if you took Apple off the Bengals they are still in the AFCCG. He’s the loudest person on that team and one of the least relevant starters.

Bengals fans turned on Apple real quick after he lost the Super Bowl for them.

I’m hoping he gets torched again this week in a loss, so he’s remember as the guy who is the biggest reason the Bengals have 0 Lombardis instead of 2.

Fans of other teams won’t need to shit talk him on social media. His own fanbase will turn on him again, and it’ll be glorious.

If there is any behavior that is meaningless its what is said in a post game interview or to the media. Thats what image the player, his brand and agent have decided they want to portray. On field behavior is much more accurate of a persona of a person. And dont get me wrong, I love that Mahomes is cocky. All the best were. Jordan, Brady, Bonds. All competitive pricks. All great.

Its like a first date. You don't send yourself to a first date. You send your chief representative. There isn't anyone more fake than how someone acts publicly after thought & reflection.

They kind of already are. If you check the Bengals forum, there are more than a few that are sick of his shit and want him gone next season. A beating would seal the deal for everyone.

I love it! Burrow is a damn good Quarterback. No ego, just a good player!

Patrick could learn a thing or two from Joe. :-)

That’s a landslide.

OMFG. You have dropped some real knowledge here, dude.

I've actually met Mahomes and had drinks with him. And I've shared before that he's far, far more edgy in person than he ever is at a podium, which is no surprise to literally anyone. We all know that he's been coached up extremely well having grown up with a father as a professional athlete and now being in Chiefs organization under Andy Reid.

The point is that there's a public persona and a private persona. The public persona is what you're putting out into the world that represents the team, organization, and city. And how you want people to view you.

There is a very big difference being cocky behind close doors in private and going out of your way to be cocky in a press conference to the world. It speaks to "getting it" and the vibe you're deliberately putting out there. The guy who doesn't care if he's labeled like that is probably far more cocky than the guy who treads lightly.

Mahomes has been class at every turn in these more scripted situations. Is he competitive on the field? Absolutely. But he's never said anything that's been remotely as me-me-me as those Burrow comments and the guy has actually won a SB and an MVP.

So fuck off white knighting Joe Burrow.

I like how everything revolves around being at an event for a few hours with Mahomes as if you know the guy closely. Patrick Mahomes wants to rip your heart out and eat it. He wants to destroy everything in his path when he competes. You can see it in how he plays football. Hes just a winner. He's not a complacent loser like Kirk Cousins, who may be the nicest guy in the world.

All Im saying is everything anyone says publicly after thought and reflection is bullshit. Now that might make them smarter than other guys who are off the cuff, but you really dont know a person until you've lived with them or been friends with them for years.

And I'm not white knighting Joe Burrow. I don't like the guy. He's smug. He's an asshole. I just find the entire idea of what someone says at a press conference to be the end all be all is routinely not who they are at all. Plenty of charismatic and charming fellas who would murder you in your sleep if they could. You can definitely see who people really are on the field. Ndamukong Suh, Grayson Allen...piece of dog shit. Dirty player. Lebron James...whiney bitch. Tom Brady....huge cheater. Luckily for Mahomes it's just fiery, great leadership stuff but make no mistake he knows how good he is. He's cocky, he's confident. He fucking should be.

OJ Simpson. Who didnt love OJ? In movies. Great at the podium. We all loved him. He's a ****ing psychopathic killer.

There's a whole lot of projection going on in this thread.

That's all. That's my post.

Frank Clark talks just as much shit as almost any of the Bengals players. It is what it is. They didn't say anything too bad.

Chiefs just need to use it as motivation and get to work.
