I think the ref should have eaten the flag. No way should that kind of play decide a game. 

u cant give the refs an opportunity (especially that penalty on golden boy) to escort KC into the super bowl. theyre going to take that bait 100% of the time.

 

Patty flopped like Lebron

What I learned from this game:

 

Bills DL w/o a healthy Miller is terrible.

Bills coaching staff is mediocre

I was wrong about the Bengals' receivers, they are much better than the Bills' receivers

KC front office is miles ahead of the Bills'

 

Tee Higgins is what I thought Gabe Davis would be this year. Alas Gabe is not.

It didn't change in New Orleans with the saints game and Robey. It won't change any time soon. They call themselves entertainment, not sports.

 

And there may be only one large group of people outside of professional sports that has a collective IQ below them: congress. 

That was before the full legalization of sports betting.

Yep.  Still have to beat the chiefs or Bengals in the playoffs though.

To lose the players they did and still hold up on defense - and still get production on offense….

 

Pretty telling coaching is what separates the Chiefs from everyone else.  

Bengals blew that one…I don’t think the chiefs looked particularly well coached.  Adeniji one on one against Chris jones on the biggest play of the game?  Yikes

You should’ve been on the Chiefs message board and the jokes that were being made by their fans after Hamlin’s situation resolved. 

I didn’t see any of it. And I’d say it’s quite different from a player on the opposing team, that was on the field when Hamlin almost died, very publicly taking a jab at Hamlin on Twitter.

 

I don’t like KC fans though. For the most part they seem to be jerks.

Bengals regressed!  Time to fire Zac!  

Maybe there’s a safeties coach they can let go

Yep. But they weren’t playing playoff caliber teams every week during their streaks. It’s so much harder to have a win streak continue when going against good to great teams. 

You can stay the same thing about another team before they lost last week.

Trying to recall a Bengals penalty called tonight that wasnt obvious.   Tons of holding on the oline, the secondary constantly plays handsy, and the late hit was as stupid as you can get.   The Bengals had every chance to win that game and choked it away.

It's true the grounding and roughing were blatant, but penalties WERE 5-1 Cin in the fourth quarter.  Was KC really not doing ANYTHING wrong that whole time?  I don't want it to be like hockey where they HAVE to even it up but still, it felt like Cincy was up against KC and the refs a bit.

Josh would have got that call too. And we would have wanted it. 

Yep - and Josh will go down like that too if hit OOB - its the smart play.

 

Semi-related - I was thinking after the last Jones sack he was being smart, almost gentle, making sure he didn't get any personal fouls when he got to Burrow

The Chiefs were without Sneed and Willie Gay

 

Burrow choked.  

 

His O line is just terrible. He was getting pressured as quickly as Josh was in our game. There was no excuse for our defense to get so little pressure on Burrow. Or for our DBs to be playing 10 yards off coverage. The Chiefs' defensive coordinator actually game planned for the Bengals and ours didn't.

I feel dirty watching that game. Can you imagine the stench of losing that game? A combination of over-officious refs and weird special teams plays.

The referee calls were clearly in the advantage of the Chiefs. No doubt about that. Now was that intentionally is the real question. 

C'mon!  The Bengals had the ball with 2 minutes left to win the game.   You cant legitimately this crap right?

Penalty yards were 71-55

The Chiefs got the better of it but often times that's the result of being a better team with better players being smarter when they're in better position

This actually makes me like them.

 

They are cocky, have swag, and can back up their trash talk.

 

You don’t think MJ and the Bulls weren’t cocky?

Didn't really back up their talk today, did they?

 

Joe Cool hung 20 on a slapdick defense.  Lawrence played better last week than Burrow did this week - and Lawrence had to play against Sneed and Gay.

Gonna have to pony up some counseling $ for Ossai #58 - and maybe a less sticky pair of gloves…

Me: Doesn't he remember how that worked out for Allen last week?

Kelce called the Cincinnati mayor “a jabroni” LOL

when i saw it live i thought it was a lame call. 

 

But it did seem like a late hit to me.

 

Now this doesn't take away the fact that I think the Bengals got hosed on multiple occasions by the refs
