I third it.....I really don't hate either of the other division rivals, it's Shitsburgh that I can't stand. That's really the only thing that upset me about losing.

Amen man. I can’t stand them filthy weasels. They know exactly when to rip this city’s fans’ hearts out. I still have bad memories of Heinz Ward’s stupid grin. Pricks.

Not to derail, but I've been wavering back and forth on that. Is it any good?

I don't think our line played in SB., so a bit irrelevant to point trading Hill hurt KC last year, ,now back to your point we easily defeated Bills with same line, and you act like our line was that good when healthy or was healthy most of year. Mahomes ended be the difference in division game, he had a great game, turnover free, we threw 2 ints that was a difference in game also. You argue an assumption not a fact especially since previous week we soundedly defeated Bills with same line and the thread was about KC trading Hill and to circle back to that the draft picks gained in that trade contributed to KC SB team.

I was actually thinking the opposite. Since KC lost, the Bengals will be their "get right" game. Just like we were for Pittsburgh.

Washington is 4-11 and Sam Howell has 19 TD 17 INT. There’s a reason Bienemy has been bypassed for OC or HC jobs. He’s average. That being said I’m sure he contributed something. But winning is tough in the NFL. Sustaining even tougher. As I posted earlier only KC, Philly, SF, Bills, and Dallas have more wins the last 3 seasons. Yet we are 6-3 against them.

The Chiefs look tired out there man. I could see us beating them this week if we go back to our winning ways with Browning under
Center and us using the run game while playing unpredictable like we did against the Jags and the Colts. On Defense we can get
after Mahomes as their OT's haven't been playing well. Just need to shut down the run game better, but it is hard as the only DT
playing well right now is BJ Hill.
I like our chances against the Chiefs though this week. We always play them tough and like Casear and Nicomo said, the last time
we played 3 of our starting OL were out and that was the biggest reason they won and they still only won by 3 points.

Yes sir, Tee is not the WR we need to keep. Love the guy and would love to have him here for years as well, but we need to pay Chase and
upgrade the DL so our Defense can get back to respectable.

Chris Jones took over the AFC championship game last year. In first game we played them he didn't have a single pressure or TFL. In the Championship game he 2 sacks, 3TFLs, and 5 QB hits!

Yep, guarantee that doesn't happen if we had a healthy OL.

I think Lamar Jackson won his second MVP las night. What a division we are in.
Although I feel Christmas Day games can be a real anomaly for the home team. Relatives over for the holidays, focus on Christmas, maybe a big meal for some of the players before a night game. Teams on the road don't have the same distractions (ie., Raiders, Giants, and Ravens). Bengals won't have that advantage next Sunday, although KC is stuck with a short week.
