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.

Not exactly a bandwagon fan sitch. I've followed the reds since 1980 and the Buckeyes since John Cooper in the late 80s. Just not as emotionally invested as the Bengals and Wildcats. [Reply]
HAHAHAH Greatness??? OK you'all cant win without the refs taking over the game but congrats you got the NFL and Roger Goodell backing you since Mahomes came into the league.... Go Figure... Roger Goodell was investigated over some crap from the Brady- Patriots debacle and destroying evidence of rigging games but nothing was done about it. Goodell said himself that the NFL is not a sport it is for "entertainment purposes only"!!!! Think about that will ya. I agree the 21 Season looked like the Chiefs let the Bengals win the AFC Championship game when refs wasn't enough to stop us.... the same thing happened last season in the Championship game. The Bengals let y'all get to the Superbowl. You actually think Ossai pushed Mahomes out of bounds by accident?!!!! They needed the 15 yards to hit the field goal. It was way out of his range till ossai did that crap!!!
You think it was a coincidence that there was an intentional grounding call in both of the last 2 meetings with us that both announcers talked about how that was not grounding.... Both times the ball rolled within 5 yards of a receiver man COME ON! OPEN YOUR EYES!!!! Should not have been a flag. Our tight end got pushed down from behind 15 20 yards downfield in that last possession but illegal contact or holding or pass interference was never called against the Chiefs!!!!!
But this season there has been just about half the NFL teams screwed over by the refs in just about every game this year! It's not ref mistakes man. They let whoever they want to win that is written in a script at the beginning of the season. Does anyone remember in the first couple weeks of this season that the ESPN and NFL network guys said this season was the season for the crappy teams to step up and sure enough!!!! Funny how refs tossing flags at just the right times can take all your momentum away for the rest of the game! Prove me wrong!!!!

You didn't really address what my post was about.
Oh, and it looks like both Boyd and Higgens are in the last year of their contracts. That will be interesting. Your team has had the benefit of being able to pay low amounts of $$$ to QB and those 3 WRs. That will not be the case going forward. Your team will probably lose one or both of those WRs. [Reply]
