The Bengals were a feel-good team. For someone who was tired over the Bills and KC getting all the attention, they could instead root for this underdog instead. Then came the week before the Bills game and there was all this trash-talking about how much more superior the Bengals were.
The whole 'we were ahead 7-3' 6 minutes in, and the NFL should give us a win for that. And acting like you're the only team that got screwed. The Bills got completely screwed too. Their entire season was playing for #1 and the bye to play KC in the championship game at home. And that was taken away from them after the Hamlin game. It's possible that game would have happened if the Bills got a bye and played Jacksonville instead of Dolphins then Bengals.
The whole 'We won 9 games in a row - we're dominating!'. Do you realize the Bills won 8 games in a row going into the Cincinnati game? Trash talking when you're pretty much the same is strange.
'The NFL disrespected us' - ummm.... you did NOTHING for this 'great respect'. KC has been great for 5 years. The Bills have been great for 3 years. Cincinnati surprised everyone by going to the Superbowl, then started 0-2, 2-3, 4-4.... losing to teams like Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Some good games against crappy teams like the Saints, Panthers and Falcons. There is nothing there to respect.
Yeah, the Bengals are a good team, but not an elite team. It takes time to EARN that. This fan base has been suffering for 30 years, how do they get so cocky and arrogant so quickly? Yes, it was possible they could have gotten to the Superbowl this year, with even 1 play gone differently yesterday, but ACT like underdogs not kings.
Then this trash-talking about the Atlanta ticket sales. Everyone saw through this and can't believe Bengals fans believed this half-truth Donald Trumpesque lie. Cincinnati was selling tickets for a possible Bengals/Jax game. KC was selling tickets for a possible Bengals/KC game, and Buffalo was selling tickets for a possible Bills/Jax game. That's 100% normal in the NFL. They always sell the tickets early.
Then the Arrowhead / Burrow-head crap. You don't give free bulletin board material to the opposing team!
Many of my friends (who main team is not the Bengals) say they were Bengals fans 4 weeks ago, but not now.

Hell, he even threw in the classic 'jabroni' at the end.
Aside from all that though...I can't stand Kelce. Every time I see his face or hear him talk, I have a weird urge to punch something.

The Bills were dominated both games and yall really have no dog in this fight. Worry about beating KC or the Bengals when it matters. Gloat elsewhere.
Yall was only down for the Bengals when you thought the teams were evenly matched. When you realized they weren't the hate and envy unleased. We ain't fooled. We still up 3-1 against KC. So no one feels defeated. KC just made it a little more of a rivalry. Unlike your team vs us and them, where there really isn't a rivalry at all. Nor question which team is better.

They don't need to ruin or tarnish their achievements with BS like that.
Oh, and FTK!
Wasn’t it Paul Brown who said “ When you win say nothing, when you lose say less” I know I botched that, it’s something along those lines. We were the darlings, the fun team to root for, then some players want to talk shit. Didn’t help things. I hope after watching Mahomes & Co receive the AFC trophy it ripped their hart out. Cause that’s what they did to us. I hate the way that game went. The refs sucked, our lines sucked, I was shocked at Hilton’s play, and yet we still had a chance to win. Everyone here would have took our chances having Burrow with the ball with a min left after getting a first down only needing to get into FG range for the win. And we blew it. It hurts. I’m done ranting.

Also, Kelce’s comment, “Know your place!” is a racist slam against Cincinnati’s mayor who is Indian-American. The Indian caste system which unfortunately still exists is all about knowing one’s place.

Why are you saying the Bills have been great for three years and then saying the Bengals haven't done anything? That makes no sense. The Bengals have outperformed the Bills the last two years. Where's all this Bills respect coming from?
And I'd say your friends are weird, but that was all made up.
RE: I really despise Travis Kelce - jj22 - 01-30-2023
Only fans who can take shots at us is KC fans. Fans of all the other teams feeling themselves this morning should be reminded who was watching which team last night and last year in the SB.
These fans of teams who didn't even make the playoff's or couldn't get past wild card weekend have a lot of nerve.
KC fans are the only fans who can talk.

KC fans are the only fans who can talk.
And Eagle fans, barely. Not impressed with the Eagles the way they played against the 49ers.
I think the Chiefs will beat them and before that game I thought the only team that could beat one of those NFC teams was us, but
the Chiefs after this win are more tested IMO.

Trash talking is annoying in general. Just takes someone else doing it to demonstrate that clearly. It's "trash" talk for a reason.

Agreed, been disappointed since couple days after the Monday nite Bills game... reminds of the Everly brothers "we lost that loving feeling", and KC took it personal and showed last nite...
RE: I really despise Travis Kelce - The American Dream - 01-30-2023
I used to think he just acted the way he did to hype up his team and himself if you will.
But no,no.
He's just a prick.
RE: I really despise Travis Kelce - Emphasis - 01-30-2023
All the trash talk in general was honestly very tame. Keclce's team won and now they're mouthing off a bit. This is nothing new in sports and that will never change.
It helps to take a step back and remember what division the Bengals play in. Everything else is kind of soft in comparison.
RE: I really despise Travis Kelce - samhain - 01-30-2023
The only issue I have with trash talk is when it's occurring. I honestly have a much bigger problem with the Bengals in this scenario, but KC is kind of doing the same shit right now.
When our guys went crazy celebrating and spouting off last week, it gave the appearance that they thought they'd reached some really significant goal. The only goal for teams of this caliber is the Super Bowl, period. I think players lose focus when they get too high on their own bs before the end of the road. Winning divisions and playoff games is awesome, but it's time to set the bar a bit higher now.
Perspective: the Bengals have 3 wins and 1 loss vs KC but none of it means a damn thing right now. They were all big wins in the moment, just like the playoff games, but at this point people only care about recent history. The Chiefs will face the same fate if they lose to Philly. A lot of dudes crowing and yelling two weeks before a huge disappointment.
Basically, I want to see this team be a bit more professional down the road. They're young and are developing a winning culture, but they need to be driven by only one thing.
It really seemed like some kind of momentum shifted after the Buffalo win. This team thought they'd proven something, but nothing could have been further from the truth.
As for Kelce, he earned it. He can talk all he wants, and frankly the mayor thing was very deserving of humiliation. Just unfunny and awkward.

Righteous Brothers
but if KC took it so personally, how they need a boneheaded penalty to keep game from OT is kind of puzzling.
