He's 0-3 against Joe. That's a fact. How does that make him a punk. I don't get the nastiness. I have a ton of respect for Joe.

Mahomes will not be close to full speed. We dodged a bullet

No doubt in my mind we'll be seeing each other next week in our house.

I think we have some good matchups if the run game does well early.  

I want the Bengals to win first and foremost, but I also very much want to see the plan for the Atlanta game go down in flames.  That whole deal sucks. 

If the Bengals lose to Buffalo, I'll be pulling for KC.  The Bengals should be playing the Bills at Paycor tomorrow, and the AFC title game should be in KC.

I kind of wish Andy had let Chad play the 2nf half but Pat will be OK. Even at 90% he's still a stud though. He'll be fine. Just another chance for him to put on the cape and prove everyone wrong.

He's the consensus best QB in the NFL. What is he going to "prove wrong"?

The Atlanta thing only makes since if you play the Cin-Buff game on a neutral site FIRST. Yall got bent over by the league on that one.

He won’t be 90%…. Not even close.

His foot is going to look Mr Deeds tomorrow/Monday.

You guys will win tomorrow which means he'll have to prove he can finally beat Burrow, that him and the Chiefs are still the big dogs in the AFC, and he'll have to do it all while injured.

I hate it.  I don't like the idea of a forfeit, but that's what should have happened.  The Bengals were willing to make up the game, the Bills were not.  The Bengals accommodated out of desire to do the right thing.  The Ravens were pacified with the coin flip thing, which was irrelevant in the end, sort of.  The Bengals still had to play back to back games vs an extremely violent divisional opponent with no chance to rest starters due to the coin flip.  Two weeks later we are down two linemen and heading to Buffalo.  

The Bills locked up a home divisional game and are guaranteed not to have to go to Arrowhead should they play in the conference championship.  They also avoid Paycor in the divisional, which is exactly where tomorrow's game should be played.  Garbage, subjective decision.  

If Buffalo wins the AFC, that's a huge asterisk.  It will be more and more obvious as we get farther away from the Hamlin incident.  Totally botched by the NFL.

Mahomes is obviously a great QB and would be good with any team but it can not be overstated the difference Andy Reid makes for a QB. He's easily the best offensive mind in football for the last 20+ years. 

Andy Reid certainly has the quip for the ages when there was 13 seconds left in the Buffalo/Chiefs game last year: "When things look grim, be the grim reaper." That was terrific. But then the Chiefs fans overdid it with their promotion of that the week before the AFCCC, and the Bengals killed what would have been an all-time classic quip. Doesn't work unless you make it to the end successfully.

I don't know.  Objectively speaking, escapability is a huge part of Patrick's game.  A lot of the "magic" comes from the gift he has for it.  It's very unusual.  A lot of that will be gone for (most likely) the rest of the postseason.

The arm and mind are still there, but Idk if that's enough.  Jacksonville's defense proved me wrong.  I thought they were a lot better than they played, but they were terrible.  They sent a lot of pressure, and that's not how you beat Mahomes.  He made them pay dearly, which isn't much of a surprise.  It's basically the opposite of what the Bengals have done when they've managed to beat him.  Drop 7 or 8, hope the 3 or 4 up front get to him before he figures out the coverage.  One thing I see with him is that when things go bad, he gets frustrated and somehow forgets how to play football.  It's just damn hard to get him into that mindset because he's otherworldly good.

Let's be honest also - the game was there for Jax to win. They blew it courtesy of a completely unforced fumble (that was a TD if he actually secures the ball normally) and a bad interception. Also, Jax's defensive gameplan of blitzing Mahomes while playing pillow soft zones on Kelce must have been drug fueled. Lou showed the way - drop 7 or 8, spy Mahomes, make sure Kelce is bracketed or tight man coverage and DISGUISE COVERAGES.

The nastiness is a bit over the top, but the origin goes back to last season with the combination of Mahomes brother and wife's antics plus Chiefs fans dropping into Bengals sites / social media before the AFCCG and laying not just smack but personal, pretty vile smack at times.

No he’s gonna be pretty bad

He’s got a week with constant attention. I’ll take a win anyway I can get it, but I wouldn’t plan on him being completely hampered.

Not all secondaries can disguise coverages as well as the bengals. Lou has a well coached, smart secondary.

I hope no one is really surprised by this.

Chiefs have spent more time holding jags players than teenage lads have spent holding their dicks in their bedroom.

Easiest way to cheat is no-calls on holding. I have no doubt the officials have received directives to allow KC and Buffalo to hold.

I'm worried about the late flag after a 3rd down stop.

"Holding . . . on the defense. 5 yard penalty. Automatic 1st down!"

The replays show nothing. That's what I'm fearing the most outside of injuries.

Show me where the Bengals organization said makeup the game?, and show were Buffalo organization said no makeup.we put ourselves in this position by having a worse record than the Bills with same number of games played.. hence bills are hosting this game.
