At least we know our offense can mostly get it done. Getting thuney back is huge. Toney could be really huge. In this final stretch stop fucking around with wylie. Get prince in at RT and see if he can cut it.
What the fuck do we do about our defense though. Bengals are good but there is zero excuse not to get to burrow. And they’ll have mixon back next week. Please tell me we are not resting our hopes on josh Williams doing better next time against a healthier chase.

Annoyed or not, KC can not beat this team. This was the easiest win for the Bengals against us. Our D-Line gets owned and they exploit our Tackles.
Head scratching play calls on the Chiefs last drive. Can someone explain to me why you would kick a FG to tie and then kick the ball to a team that has moved the ball at will against your defense all day?
After that, please explain to me how our top 10 defensive line just disappears for the entire game.
And third, how does our top 10 offensive line give up instant pressure against a 3 man rush.
Bonus points. Why did the the Chiefs go away from the run?

There's not a team in the league that can't sack Burrow, except the Chiefs.

Bengals are in our head. Burrow was on this game.
Burrows made one good pass. The others were wide open and he wasn't under pressure

Exactly this. And the Bengals knew it. Once it got to 4 downs, we had zero chance of stopping them.

It’s because we HAVE to blitz to get pressure and Burrow fucking eats it alive.
