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.

Haha I’ll take the win anyway they can get it. 1 point works too, just don’t leave it to a Butker FG, would be terrible for me health. [Reply]
I do caution some of the fans who think we're going to win because the Chiefs are sick of Cinci's shit.
Remember the cautionary tale of the Buffalo Bills. Dumbasses spent an entire year hating us with the passion of 1000 suns and it got them fucking nowhere.
If the Chiefs win this game, it's going to be because they're better at football, not because they really really REALLY now want to beat the Bengals. [Reply]

They looked good, as we did against the Bills, in the AFCCG after losing 3 starters on our line. The Bills were gassed last week and the snow didn't help the pass rush... I like our chances.
Those are fair points. A lot of people questioned the Cincy OL heading into the games last season and it did not seem to matter. I would love to see KC get 5+ sacks, numerous batted balls, and a bunch of forced throwaways on Burrow. [Reply]

I think the Chiefs are a better team and if they play a clean game they should win. I also wouldn’t ever bet against a petty, motivated Mahomes. [Reply]

You seem to forget that last year we had Ben Niemann and Dan Sorenson in coverage, and an overpaid safety who was making career decisions instead of tackling. Despite that, if we don't screw up the end of the first half, we most likely win by 2 TDs... [Reply]

And how about this season in Cincy? The Bengals had 430 yards with 1 punt. Chiefs got essentially zero pressure on Burrow.
KC has a lot of young guys in the secondary, which makes it tough. You need those guys to do well enough in coverage that the Chiefs DL has enough time to get to Burrow. He will be trying to throw the ball within 2 seconds every time to offset his unproven offensive line. [Reply]

And you seem to forget that goldilocks came close to beating us at home last week.
