Lets also remember, Andy Reid is an awesome coach that has gotten good production from some pretty average QB's. He's backed off with Mahomes because he can but this is a game for Reid to do what he does. [Reply]

How about just don't say anything?
Seriously, we ALL know how you feel about this game. Nobody cares. We're going to enjoy this week and we're going to enjoy it even more when the Chiefs win. [Reply]

So remove the turnovers by the Chief & Ram QB's. You end up with a 37-33 win for the Chiefs instead of a 54-51 win for the Rams.
Speaking of that Rams team, Belichick's defense held the Rams to 3 points in the Super Bowl. That's extremely impressive considering the Rams scored over 30 points per game throughout the season. It also adds context to Mahomes scoring 31 on Belichick's defense a couple weeks earlier.
It’s also a product of the genius that is Andy Reid. Take a look at the opening game of that 2017 season. It was KC vs NE and the Chiefs lit up that defense……….with Alex Smith! [Reply]
And yes, I'm going a little overboard in saying don't say literally anything at all.
But that's to illustrate that you're going completely over the top as well.
There's nothing wrong with discussing strengths and weaknesses. But when all you ever do is point out weaknesses and don't add anything else to the discussion, what do you expect people to think? [Reply]

Nah, it's fun to play heel once in a while. [Reply]

Huh? I'm not only being negative. I'm genuinely ecstatic Hardman is going to be back. He could be one of the deciding factors if the Bengals can't get overly aggressive with their blitz packages to account for him. [Reply]

Hardman, Toney and Thuney all missed the last game... [Reply]
This was the situation in the regular season game.
1. They were at home.
2. They had their best OL available
3. We had no Toney, Hardman, Thuney or Clyde
4. Juju had just returned from an injury and still wasn't 100%
5. Our defensive rookies were less experienced
6. Tre Flowers (the guy they used to help double Kelce) was healthy
And with all that we lead going into the fourth quarter and they needed a fumble and missed FG in order to win by three.
Now everything I listed above will be flipped on sunday.
1. We're at home
2. They have three backup OL guys playing
3. Toney, Hardman, Thuney and maybe Clyde will play
4. Juju is healthy
5. Our rookies have way more games under their belts now.
6. Tre Flowers is banged up and may miss this game like he did the Bills one
Now these things might not mean anything come Sunday.. but the fact is they had things way more in their favour the last time we played them and it was only a three point game and they needed a little fortune to go their way. [Reply]

I rewatched the most recent games against Jaguars & Raiders yesterday. Toney jumps off the screen as a difference maker. He has not been part of any game with the Bengals so far. He not only has tremendous quickness & speed to help pick up first downs, he also seems to be a pretty physical runner at times. [Reply]
Being excited about CEH coming back is like being excited the cancer you fought into remission returned. Fuck all the way of with that nonsense. He can sit on the sidelines with Moore [Reply]
