They beat KC at KC, crushed the Rams and Titans by 3 TD and more. They have the second best scoring defense in the league, which is not a fluke because they were 1st in that area last year. They are healthier than the Bengals and they are playing at home. They're hungry.

I'm optimistic because the Bengals pulled the game off in KC last year. But this is a game that looks like it will come down to the wire and be anyone's game.

I remember having a Bengals T-shirt on years ago and seeing the little smirks and laughs and pointing. I believe those days are behind us.

However, there is element these stats don’t capture.  It is the strong desire to win.  I haven’t seen anyone in the sports I watch have it in my lifetime other than Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and Tom Brady.

It could be argued these guys had a great supporting case.  I say these guys elevated those guys.

We Bengals fans are witnessing the next generation of greatness with Burrow.  We have Joey B and none of these damn teams with their QB’s come close.  

Folks…..we are at the beginning of a generational story.  Sit back and let’s enjoy the ride.  Bengals Rule!

But, honestly the defense has outplayed the offense in our 5 playoff games over the past 2 seasons.

Last week, the offense stalled in the 2nd half. One TD drive and that game is over for us. Instead the Ravens get to the 1 and then defense makes a huge play. If that doesn't happen, we're down 7 with a sputtering offense.

Burrow is a great QB, but he hasn't been great in the playoffs to this point. He's not carrying the team. The defense is.

Not trying to be critical. I think Joe can become an elite playoff QB.
