Look when they say a team wins XYZ% of the time it takes all the players etc into effect
Every time the Chiefs Play the Bungels over the last 3 meetings I get it, we didn't come out on top but it does not mean they are the better team, it just means they won that game.
Example, based on the Chiefs having a much better QB ( I get Burrow is ok but he has always had great WR, their number #3 is our number #1) and our Oline better, better defense, better TE, we are a far superior team.
Look I think we win 65% of the time on all of those last three meetings, but that means the other team wins 35% of the time, they rolled the dice and rolled a 1-35, it is what it is, their are upsets that happen all the time in football and underdogs winning when they had no business doing so.
The Ravens beat the Donkeys who are absolutely awful by 1 point 10 to 9. I mean this is like a loss losing to the Broncos by so little. These kind of things happen, I think the Bengals just miss the playoffs or barely sneak in and get bounced in the first round. But they are a quality team, we just got the 1-35 roll, it happens, its football, we are much better, we are going to be hosting the AFC championship game again, etc etc.
I wished we rolled the 36-100 on the dice but it didn't happen, its all good, in the remaining games we should be 90% or higher percentage winners, our odds of going all the way are really high. Proud of the guys today, Kelce does not fumble its over today, stuff just happens. [Reply]
i don't know which is necessarily the better team, but CIN had more talent on the field yesterday, for certain. Chase, Higgins and Boyd are better than Travis and any combination of WRs we have in the WR room this season.
And after watching yesterday's game, I think their OL is better as well. That's not a huge difference, but I think it's significant.
And defensively they played tighter. At least I think they did; haven't seen the A-22 yet. But just the fact that Mahomes struggled much of the game to throw on time tells me that our guys just weren't getting open quickly enough. The A-22 will just verify what is probably going to be plain as day.
They had the better more talented team on the field yesterday. We have a month and change to fix it. [Reply]

Is Cincy’s defensive line that much better than KC’s? I know they have better edge rushers, but no player of Chris Jones’ caliber.
Their offensive line certainly isn’t better than the Chiefs’ offensive line.
One teams DL got pressure with 3 while the other couldn’t get any pressure with 4 [Reply]
The Chiefs in 2021 transitioning out of a rookie QB deal and we are still very competitive with the Bengals and Bills. We are much better positioned moving forward, than the Bills or Bengals. They need to win now and will be much different teams 1-2 years from now, just as we are today compared to 2020. I will take Veach's positioning with promising young Dbacks and a good LB unit. Shore up the pass rush this offseason. On offense we have a good group of young cheap talent as well. The Bengals, may be better than us, slightly, but they should be in their current stage with Burrow. Despite that, I believe we still have a great shot at the SB this year, which is all you can ask... [Reply]
The chiefs are about to host the AFCCG for the fifth consecutive season. When the Bengals pull off a run like that, ok, they'll be better. Record over the entire season determines the better team. Chiefs keep winding up with the best one. [Reply]
Sure we are the better team hands down, but in football(all sports for that matter) the better team doesn't always win. How boring would sports be if the better team always won? [Reply]
