Could be a little bit of a let down this week from an energy level. A Chiefs fan could fart in KC and the Bengals would use it as motivation to win. I can assure you motivation won't be an issue. It hasn't been a problem all year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart Scott is always helpful too, but that guy is just a moron who has taken one too many hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weddle really was trying REALLY hard to go full Ravens homer the past 2 weeks for us lol and it backfired tremendously both times. And yeah almost nobody likes Bart Scott anymore lol he's basically on the same tier as Bernard Pollard these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Burrow is going to have Tony Romo on replay over how he “missed” Hayden Hurst on the goal line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, that could also affect the run game . I still expect Mahomes to be great, it will just be a different approach Yep… Reid said today Mahomes is fine and it’s not as bad as the sprain in 2019 but I still don’t buy it.. He could barely hand the ball off Saturday and that was its adrenaline and whatever they pumped him up with.. Hea gonna be very compromised Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect some killer plays from Mahomes, just of a different variety, I mean it's Mahomes - thats all we need to know. Too bad this happened though, he was making all kinds of great throws in that game pre injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next week after the 2019 one he threw for 4 TDs. So we’ll see, Reid is great at being vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 If Mahomes is healthy I think I am going Chiefs in this one... I believe that the Chiefs defense is definitely good enough up front to get pressure on Burrow behind that makeshift OL unlike the Bills. That said, Mahomes isn't healthy and I also think the Bengals will get pressure on him.... so for now I am leaning Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I don't vote in these, out of some weird sense of paranoid superstition. But this is probably the first time since the Tampa superbowl I do not think we should be favored in a playoff game. Bengals are on fire, have won this matchup recently, Mahomes on a bad ankle. The bigger hang up for me though, is there are some matchups against Cincy that should favor us, but in the last two matchups it hasn't worked out that way. Our DL should absolutely be able to win against their OL, but that didn't happen last postseason or this regular season. That's the biggest thing that would need to change, but especially after the Buffalo game, I don't have much reason to believe that it will.

I've never seen a Bengals team this consistently hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
