Or...we can go back to talking about the original topic.

You can tell from Mahomes latest remarks he knows the Chiefs got really lucky with favorable calls in the AFCCG last season- they should be 0-4 against Burrow not 1-3. He wants to play us because he is a competitor and wants his shots at evening things up. Burrow likewise wants to play them because he knows we got jobbed by the refs and wants to erase that stain. Once they play we'll know.

Idk if lucky is the word I would use.  

I think our season ended when Collins and Cappa went down.  it took away the battering ram play with Perine that everyone knew was coming yet still couldn't stop on short yardage downs.  That wrinkle hurt us bad.  

The Bengals should get credit for getting as far as they did with the collection off backups they ran out there up front.  It's tough to beat a team like that with Chris Jones out there playing the game of his life.

I think the organization has done themselves a big favor keeping as many quality tackles as they have.  They are now 4 deep with capable OTs.  This is overlooked brilliance in the present tense.  Over the course of a full season, it's a different story.  If Jonah or god forbid OBJ goes down, you have a battle tested Carman and a potential beast in Collins waiting in the wings.  That's a far cry from Adeniji and Prince.  IMO, this is the difference maker in 2023.  

Good OL are hard to come by at this level.  It's rare to have that many at once.  I wouldn't let go of a single one of them.
