No, not really. I want a real win with no asterisks.

Also in a sense Tannenhill is kind of like a crappy Josh Allen. Good arm, good legs so it was almost like getting a little scouting game off on him before we’d have to play him.
I would rather play the Bills. Plus it is closer to me, so I may be able to make it... only a 6-hour drive one way versus my 9-hour trip to Cincinnati. And Belicheck beat the Bills with 4 passes earlier this year. I do not think the Bills offense can hang with Burrow + our WRs.

Scored on our first 4 possessions in each rematch. Chiefs may be looked at as the favorite but in reality they should be 3rd on the list of AFC teams left.
Isn't it supposed to be harder to win 2x over the same team? And the Chiefs kinda got screwed at the end of the game which we won. I don't know about winning a rematch in KC.
I don't know it is a tough call to make. I originally wanted to play the Raiders... but the more I thought about how they match up with Waller and Crosby... I think the Patriots would have been the easier team to beat.

It's a pick your poison thing but I'm still sticking with wanting to play the Bills. I don't want Arrowhead in a rematch. Btw, Lapham said he thought the Bengals might be better off going against the Chiefs because of a better Bills' defense. I still say give me Buffalo . The awful Steelers won in Buffalo this season.

I was one of those Dodger fans wishing curses on the Reds. True, the curses were slow to take hold, but they have been working now for many years

Too late. We already have one because of "The Whistle'.

I'd like to play the bills too, not because they are easy, but because they are tough. Also good to beat more different teams.

Outside of Raiders fans, the rest of the football world seems to have moved on, thankfully. Raiders fans don't give up their perceived slights so easily, though. I saw several of them last week lumping in the whistle play with what they referred to as "The Immaculate Deception."

We are 3-0 in rematch games where Burrow played this year. Scored on first 4 possessions in each rematch. Conventional wisdom says it’s harder to beat teams a 2nd time. I’d say this team has proven the opposite to be true this year. It’s hard to beat Burrow once he’s seen your defense in person.

LA wasn't on my radar in 76 since I was in Darby Montana in Jobcorps that year. Most of the other guys were from around the NY area and big time Yankee fans. I risked life and limb rubbing it in for two months.. LOL when I learned Reds and Yanks were playing I KNEW we had it in the bag.. I forget how many cigarettes were owed to me.. Me and the rest of my dorm had the cigarette black market sewn up that year..

Well, they are certainly tough. Number 1 scoring defense in the league and number one passing defense in terms of yards allowed. And the temperature will be freezing and the Bills fans are fanatics.

They don’t put asterisks. Steelers beat the Bengals backup QB twice in the playoffs. No asterisks.

I’m all in for the Bills. Beat them right in front of their obnoxious fans.

IM going Mahommes. Josh Allen is likely due for a breakout year soon but Mahommes and the Chiefs are healthier
