Please stop regurgitating what you are hearing on the television. “Playing with house money”

So the D is a doormat except for one ill advised play by KC. A legit D holds at least 2 of those TDs to FGs.

the defenders are 2-3 steps away from the tackles. No good.

It is a Christmas miracle that we are only down 11.

The Bengals getting handled hurts me only slightly more than this half time musician.

I am glad I came into this with the mindset of this is amazing win or lose. I don't think any other team in the league has the future of the Bengals. Nearly every starter under contract with plenty of cap space. Fix the O-line - 1 draft, 1 or 2 FA. Honestly let Bates walk and double down on OL money. Go with an impact LB with the extra space.

KC mentality. Good job.

Significant room for improvement in the 2nd half.

Yep, this is not a scheme problem, they've missed almost every tackle

11 points isn't so bad.

If they can manage a stop and then score to open the second half they're right back in it.

Best halftime show ever?

We definitely need to cut back on all the 2 TE/under center formations. I understand wanting to protect Burrow, but we're crippling our offense, especially with CJ out.

What dumba$$ put the speaker right next to the tv crew

I have seen the Chiefs get spoiled in the 1st half and start coming up short in the 2nd half. It happened in week 17, as a matter of fact. The end of that 1st half was huge.

This halftime show is like trying to talk (and hear) at a loud ass honky tonk bar.

Giving up 21 points, 18 1st downs and 300 yards, and we’re still in this game. Doesn’t make any sense.

I don't know that I've ever seen Chase, Higgins and Burrow all three looking so depressed on the sideline. Hopefully CJ is still in the locker room giving them the "Win one for the Uzo"speech.

It's a scheme problem too - Lou's relapsed back into his silliness of just having his DL line up and try to beat their man 1-1. No twists, stunts or anything at all to even try to confuse the offense.

The best defense in the league didn’t last week…
