I'm guess I'm not understanding why everyone is getting their panties in a wad over this?
I mean, if you are in the AFC, and your goal is to get to the Super Bowl, you're going to have to get through KC every fucking year. This have been proven out in the playoffs every year Mahomes has been the starter.
So if you're an AFC team and you're NOT trying to build your team to 'beat KC' then I would seriously question the intelligence of your front office and your coaching staff.
The Chiefs ARE the standard and EVERY team should be trying to figure out a way to get by that, regardless of whether you're a 'contender' like the Bengals or some poor schlep like the Broncos, for instance.
I'm just not really seeing the harm in his comment. :-) [Reply]

Why? Because at the time, the Patriots were the top team in the AFC and the NFL. If your goal is to win it all, you build your team to take out the top. Now, the Chiefs are the top.
The Bengals have had various degrees of success. In the regular season they tend to do better than in the playoffs, although they've been successful one year. But I have no doubt that when the Bengals' front office looks at their draft needs, a major consideration is which players will put them in a better position to beat KC. If they're deciding between 2 players and they are otherwise equal, I expect the Bengals to pick the player that they think will better help them beat the Chiefs. Why? Because the Chiefs are the top and are going to be the most likely obstacle between the Bengals, or any other team, and a Lombardi trophy.
yeah KC has been to a championship game every year Mahomes has started. if you want to win a SB you have to beat the Chiefs. like is he supposed to tell the truth and be like "well IDK if we can win if Mahomes is on the field lol" Bengals fans would tear him apart (for good reason)
they might beat us during the regular season, but who cares lol [Reply]

Because it’s a stupid word choice.
The Bengals aren’t actually building their team to intentionally match up with us. And if they are, they’re constructed to beat the Chiefs with Tyreek, not this iteration that has done nothing but win rings each year.
Maybe they should also focus on being built to beat the fucking Rams. That would help get them a SB [Reply]

Exactly.
It's their way of saying "Yea, the Chiefs are on top, but we have their number!".
In other words, still clinging to a few regular season wins and that one AFCCG, when we've beat them in another and won 2 SBs since. [Reply]

That one doesn't even count, they needed refball the entire game to win. That KR for a TD right before the half still blows my mind. Game was over at that point and the refs knew it. [Reply]

That was fucking egregious.... And ref ball at the very end setting them up for the winning field goal. [Reply]

Ask the Bills how that worked out?
They’re a little better built long term. Unlike buffalo I think they’re building for the long haul and being smart about where to throw their money, where buffalo spent a few years out of desperation.
It goes without saying that they didn’t finish the job at their peak and it’s only gonna go downhill from here. But I think they’re very well positioned to be a competitive team. Good - I love the rivalry especially since we’re the better team and we’ve already gone through reinventing ourselves where cincy is just getting started. [Reply]
