Lou Anarumo is the only one who gives the Bengals a chance against the Chiefs. Outside of him, they're "built" to watch the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

Not sure I understand anyone here being "scared" of any QB. The only time I would use the word fear and QB in the same sentence would have to do with ours and injury. IDGAF about any of those other, non championship winning QBs. Yes, we will lose games to other teams from time to time. But "scared"? Of Joe Burrow? Of Josh Allen? Of.....? Nah.

The Bengals are on Burrowed time.

Allen is a beta personality. Burrow is an alpha personality. Burrow gets that edge.

The Bengals could be built to beat the Chiefs, but it would involve trading Burrow and having Browning on the cheap contract. Then keeping the wide receivers and drafting successfully with the additional picks from trading Burrow.
Burrow is really the hinderance to their success.

Why would you even be scared of anyone as a Chiefs fan. It's simply unbelievable
[Reply]

Agreed.

I think Burrow is good, but Browning showed he had potential too. They had the same amount of wins last season if I remember correctly.

now, that said... a Bengals opinion surely outweighs mine, as I don't watch every bengals snap.

I get frustrated when dipshit Mahomes haters say that Alex Smith was just as good, that Mahomes is ONLY good because the team is stacked with talent, and that Andy Reid is the biggest factor, that anyone could win a SB with him. These people are just morons.

The guy with fragile wrists who shows up on game day dressed like Elton John's boy toy is an alpha personality?

Maybe. That's certainly one way to look at it.


Listen, this is how it is as far as I'm concerned. They have top-tier coaching. They have a top tier offense, particularly at WR. And they have had solid-to-very good defense. And they have a top-tier QB. Top-5 or -10 or wherever you want to rank him, he's one of the best QBs in the league. We can debate whether he's elite, and I honestly don't know if he is. But he's proven to be a pretty good one, easily in the top-10.

Anyway, it's pretty much impossible to have really good players and really good coaches and still be a bad team. If anyone can come up with more than one example of such I'd love to see it.

And to prove it, they actually beat KC three times in a row, once in the AFCCG, while never having a good OL.

So, by any reasonable standard CIN is a top-tier football team, period.

Now, you want to argue that they haven't ever played up to their roster's talent, I would agree with that. They haven't been dominant offensively in the playoffs. Burrow in particular hasn't been special in January by any means. But the talent is undeniably there.

What are you basing this on besides his “cool” moniker? Because it certainly can’t be how they play the game.
