That was a good game in the context of it felt like whoever had the ball last would win, that's indicative of evenly matched teams. Which leads to who make the least mistakes. See the Kelce Strip, The negated inteception, see MVS dropping the td pass, which is kind of moot, considering they did the same. We were in control of the game till the lone TO.
We aren't just going to be able to slide through the AFC.
For years it was Brady, Manning and Ben Rape.
Now it's Mahomes Allen and Burrow.
These will always be close games, and they might have our number now, but it won't last forever.
Fucking this.
The rest of you are absolutely exhausting.
You've forgotten how to take a single punch to the face in the form of a regular season loss. You've become fucking Patriots fans and it's gross af. [Reply]

And that's the kernel of all the anxiety.
Brady was the worst QB of the 3 on the best TEAM, and Manning was the best QB on the worst, and think about who put what imprint on the era. [Reply]
If only the Bills take out the Bengals…. If only the Tits ca take out the Bills. We have Mahomes and are still relying on other teams to do our dirty work. [Reply]
Whether it’s scheme or lack of talent you need to fix it. Tired of losing to an inferior team that loses to shitty teams but somehow has our number. [Reply]

All we heard from the wussies last year was that we needed another team to beat Buffalo to get our window.
What happened? We got Buffalo anyway. Their coach called a near perfect game, their QB played a perfect game, and we still beat them because Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid were simply better than their best.
Now, it's the Bengals. We've lost three straight games, all of them that could have been wins. One if we held on a 3rd and 27. One if we punched in a 1st and goal at the 5, and another if our Hall of Fame Tight End doesn't fumble.
But you know what? **** happens. We can't pretend like the Bengals don't have an elite QB on the other side with one of the best offenses in the NFL. We went at them today missing 3 of our offensive weapons and had the lead late in the 4th quarter. We lost, it sucks. We're 0-3 against them, that also sucks. It sucks just like it did when Andy could not beat the Titans no matter what he did.
But at the end of the day? I'm trusting our Hall of Fame head coach and our generational quarterback to figure this out. Just like they did against Buffalo last year, and just like he did against the Titans when we went all the way. [Reply]
Let's not go crazy. We can win out and get the 1 seed. Our team is not about anything but playoff games. We may not see them again if thungs go right. But, we better find a game plan that works because we can't get to Burrow and we can't get enough tds. [Reply]

Once again, Red Dawg becomes Will Ferrel in the debate against Carville in Old School and provides the most lucid, thoughtful, and balanced analysis of the day. [Reply]
Right now they have superior talent all over. When they give Joe 250 guaranteed in March that will start to level the playing field. Joe won't always have the players he has. [Reply]
