A sobering thought just occurred to me-there’s only three games left this season. Damn. Well, at least I’ve got the Senators and Sillycuse to watch. Okay, do me a favor and gouge my eyes out. If it was good enough for Zedekiah then by gum, it’s good enough for me!
To The Game!
Bengals/Chiefs:
-Much has been made of the bananas shootout game back in week 17 and how we might see a repeat of that. Can I throw a bit of cold water on that?
-Well, for one thing, Cincy has been averaging all of 20 points per game during their last three while K.C. has been on fire, averaging 35 in their last 5.
-Sure, Evan McPherson has been rightfully given his props for his swagger and coolness under pressure but settling for field goals in this game is going to get the Bengals a blowout loss.
-Is it Tee Time? A fella (Montgomery might be his name?) on a Rotowire podcast noted something that I found interesting. Wr Chase, in his first game with a few teams went gangbusters. Versus Pittsburgh he had 65 yards and 2 TD’s-after they made adjustments for the second game he was shut down and it was Higgins that had 114 and a TD. And it was the same with the Ravens-201 yards and 2 TD’s the first time around but it was Higgins that had 194 and 2 TD’s in the return tilt. No doubt Spagnoulo will tweak things regarding coverages on Chase and perhaps that opens the door for Tee.
-Is Burrow’s willingness to take a sack part of his overall strategy of protecting the ball? He’s had only one interception in his last seven games and that was off the hands of Perine last week.
-Yes, there were 9 sacks taken last week but previous to that in the 4 games prior he was getting dumped 2.4 times a game. As far as (very) recent history is concerned, the Titans game may have been an outlier.
-Can you outscore the Chiefs at home? The Chargers and Bills accomplished the feat but that was way back in week’s 3 and 5. Mahomes is 8:1 with a 9.4 YPA and a 76% completion rate in the playoffs so far.
-Another sobering thought but this time for Cincy fans-they’ve scored but one TD in their last 18 drives.
Enjoy what’s on offer.
OT it is
Well that escalated quickly.
I CANNOT WATCH THE GAME! FUCK YOU AT&T! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
KC was playing with fire. That fumble was very close.
The last 2 plays, Mahomes could have thrown it away. Stupid fucking plays twice in a row
COME ON SHANKLOHR!
OH DAMN
Joe Thuney of North Carolina State University – saves Mahomes’ arse
wowwwwwwwwwwww
This is pissing me off. Good thing I’m a happy drunk.
Is KC Gonna play for overtime?
Now are we in the “let them score” part?
C’mon fumble!
Imagine it’s 4th and goal inside the 1, Andy calls timeout with 3 seconds. WHAT DO YOU DO?
Head back to the buffet before closing.
Zac Taylor is getting played and he doesn’t realize it.
Run twice, make sure you don’t lose in Normal Time?
“This one’s for all the torpedos here at the Raytheon AFC championship game!”
good Lord, that play took FIFTEEN SECONDS
“Now that’s what I call ExtenZ-ing the play!” — Jimmy Johnson, probably
Just let them score the TD.
Bingo!
I’d blitz like mad
Good Romo is back today, he made an excellent read on that defensive formation. Can’t show your cards to Mahomes like that.
I think it’s a given that KC scores a TD on this drive. It’s just a matter of how much time they choose to use.
Their plan is to use ALL. We will see if that backfires?
My TRUCK turned my PUSSY into a DOG howabout THAT you COMMIE LIB
BANNER!!!!!
Walter is a great cat.
Bahahaha
That’s Rocking!
Man, this coming AFC decade will be bonkers. Imagine when Donks add Q-aaron to the mix.
And trying to guess which key Bengals player is gonna have a career ending injury is thrilling!
Uzomah took the Krumrie bullet today, it seems.
Mahomes, Herbert, Brady and Burrow-they’re all gottdamn weirdos because they seem immune to pressure.
Cincinnati ahead in the fourth quarter!
I bet you that if you asked Redshirt for this before the game, he’d have taken it without questions.

John Waters is so ripped!
I know there’s a lot of time left. But goddamn, Joe Burrow is a fucking baller.
AT&T fibre sucks, download rates dropping into the kb/s range, Fubo is now a slideshow.
Oh, so the speeds pick up for the commercials so they can be shown, but teh actual game? Slideshow time.
I find myself kinda rooting for Joey and the Bengals.
b-b-b-bengals and the joe
That’s an awful morning radio show
For Redshirt
and a face mask no call
Takes that shot AND a facemask pull. Just gets right up and plays on.
…and this is after the knee injury.
oh no that scorebox was three days away from retirement!
Burrows pulls an Eli under pressure and it doesn’t involve hiding under blankets right before bedtime.
Eli called his O-Line “The Night Lights”.
JOSEPH LEE BURROW
What the fuck just happened?
Q4 in Arrowhead Stadium = Permanent Plaid
oh my Lord, that is JOHN ELWAY AT HIS BEST there. TELL ME YOU WOULDN’T RUN THROUGH A BRICK WALL FOR JOE BURROW.
JOE FUCKING BURROW!!
Burrow. Stop chucking ducks.
ARE WE HEADED TO EXTRA TIME ONCE AGAIN??
Bengals DEF is showing up!!!
Those Sacks on Mahomies are Rocking 💯
Chiefs have 41 yards of offense in the 2nd half.
I remember Mahomes being unstoppable like it was just today.
which (not to spoil the morning thread) is why that final play of the first half is VALIDATED. You need a yard, go for the kill shot and 28-10. You can’t just presume you can take the easy 3 and coast.
I say, if you’re getting the ball back, kick the three and then between the back to back you get the killshot. And now, in hindsight, Cincy’s scored 21 straight.
FUCK YOU APPLEBEE’S
this just can’t be said enough.
More twists than that good White Stripes album
