they’re a really difficult matchup for us. their defense is very underrated. we can definitely win this game but it’s probably gonna take years off our lives.
Not concerned with their defense. KC lit up TB, SF, and scored 26 against a good Rams defense. If KC’s defense can hold their own the KC offense will move the ball and score easily enough. [Reply]

Correct. Any of their defensive stats should be taken with a grain of salt when you consider the QBs they’ve played. [Reply]
“They beat us. I played terrible in the second half. We lost at home in a game that could’ve sent us to a Super Bowl…We’ll be ready to go this next week for sure” [Reply]
Mahomes isn’t allowing 0-3 vs Burrow to happen, especially when the last one denied him a golden opportunity for another ring. If he needs 50, he’ll score 50.
His comments were as close as he’ll ever come to saying “we’re going to bury these assholes.” [Reply]
I imagine this team is going to be ready for this game more than probably any game this season.
The reality is Cincy just matches up well with us because Spags plays so aggressive on defense and the Bengals have guys like Chase and Higgins who can abuse DBs in single coverage. Burrow is able to make big plays at critical moments.
It's really going to be a great test for all the changes we made this offseason. If the Bengals play soft on defense we should be able to take advantage of it. Running the ball, Mahomes being patient and taking what the defense gives him and spreading the ball around. We definitely owe these guys one. [Reply]

Do they though? KC was comfortably ahead in both games last year in the first half. They scored a combined six points in the second half of those games. KC did more to lose those games than Cincy beating them. [Reply]
