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.

They didn’t look lost but even if you want to say they look lost, then that’s actually a pretty dang good performance for an offense that was “lost” given even one more dropped pass caught likely leads to a win. Every other team would love to perform like that when they are looking lost. [Reply]
Okay, "lost" may be a bit too far. But it's the first time in the Mahomes era that I remember not having a single reliable target to throw to. Not that a few didn't make some plays, but the most memorable thing from that game was the plethora of drops, which was magnified by the knowledge that it was an unproven group. [Reply]

By lost do you mean dropped passes that hit them square in the hands? [Reply]
This will be the best Bengals offensive line Joe Burrow has ever played behind. By far. Innate chemistry amongst the incumbents. Huge upgrade at left tackle in Orlando Brown Jr...Jonah Williams playing for his career. Teddy K getting me HYPED. #WhoDey �� pic.twitter.com/d1X5I93Uno
I’m really worried about Orlando Brown Jr. He seemed slow and struggled a lot against speed rushers. Maybe I overrated him given that he had made some Pro Bowls, but I kinda see why a lot of Chiefs fans didn’t feel like his loss was a big deal.
Hopefully he and the rest of the team can recover. [Reply]

Eventually you get to Burrow whom I dislike too. Mixon slightly below him.
But otherwise, they’re unremarkable in terms of villains.
But Chase, man, he’s the worst.
That twat Eli Apple was the worst. At least Chase is good (well except for today LOL)

You'd think Bengals of all fans would get it. A fair bit of the abuse that Brown took was from them. Reid/Mahomes did a nice job mitigating it, but those asshats should have at least seen those games. [Reply]

OBJ will improve for them as he did for us, especially when he gets help. But the rest of their OL wasn't great either. I do think that Browns DL is elite, but it was still a beat down.I hated Eli Apple, but the rest of them are obnoxious too. Gonna be a team I enjoy watching lose [Reply]
Joe Shiesty on X is MIA. There were a number of positives to take away from the DET game for us, particularly on defense. In the end we dropped the ball, quite literally. CIN on the other hand was throughly beaten by a divisional opponent.
We have work to do in KC. In CIN... they have problems. [Reply]
