If the Bengals play at the level they did against the Raiders and Titans we should absolutely curb stomp them. They struggled to put the Raiders away until the very end, and got lucky to face JAG Henry and Tannahill playing a horrible game. Even then that came down to the wire. [Reply]
Just limit the big plays you gave up to the bills. Badger will help that. We outscore them easily if we make them drive the field. They'll run out of time and the pressure will mount as we continue to pile on points in sustained drives. Gas their defense and continue to blow them up in the 4th. [Reply]

WTF are you talking about? This is not correct. Orlando Brown was out and Thuney played LT in his place. Allegreti played LG in place of Thuney. I'm not certain on RT but I thought Wiley was in at that spot. Could be wrong on that, though.
Edit: I went back and looked at the highlights. I stand corrected. Niang was in there to replace Brown. I guess I had put that out of memory. Actually, Niang wasn't bad at LT from the few plays I saw. Too bad the guy seems to be injury prone. [Reply]
Even with the bad calls and amazing Chase catches, the Chiefs really had no business losing the first game. We play focused and we should simply outscore Cinci. Their defense is not good. Cinci is a big step down from the Bills. [Reply]

Pretty much where I’m at.
Which QB do you trust more in an AFCCG shootout? Mahomes
Which coach? Reid
Which OL do you trust to hold up in the clutch? Chiefs
Which pass rush is more likely to get home to kill a crucial drive? Chiefs (Ogunjobi is a big loss for the Bengals) [Reply]

We should've been up 35-17 at halftime. That fucking holding call on the return completely changed that game.

(Even with that, STILL should've won.)
Yeah, the offense was making it look easy in the first half. Guys running free, big running holes. We won't lose to them if we take it seriously like we did with the Bills.
