Train from Leeds to London Thursday afternoon

Fly to JFK Friday morning 4 hour layover then on to the 513, 16 hours of travelling but can’t ***** wait now.

We will win 28-24.

Wow. Well I don't know that I can pull for the Bengals anymore than I already do. But I hope they put on one hell of a show for you.

They have so many weapons and spread it around very effectively. All the talk of the Tennessee game being a revenge game but I think the Chiefs probably have had this game circled for awhile. Very big win if we can get it and I hope Chase comes in fired up. I would expect him to take a game or two but he looked like he wanted to be out there on the sideline. Hopefully Mixon is back and between him and Perine we can run the ball effectively and stay ahead of the chains. We just need to go .500 over these last 6 games but will still be tough to accomplish.

No fun if it is just easy. But yeah, the Chiefs will be tough.

Staying on the KY side of the river or staying in OH?

On another note, I want Bell to "Bell" Juju again just for S***$ & giggles.

You’re going to have a superb time. Don’t forget to drive on the other side of the road. Is this your first live game?

No my first live game was in 99 against the jags at riverfront my old man used to live in Jacksonville for work then moved to NKY so I’d come over and visit when school was out in England every Halloween, obviously as a 10 year old I wanted the opposite team to win than what he was supporting so the lifelong curse as a Bengals fan began.

I’m 0-10 watching us live including last minute losses to the steelers getting blown out by the Browns oh and I got to see Mike White check down his way to the HOF live last year

Then typically I was meant to fly out to KC last year for the AFC championship and the flight was cancelled due to snow and the super bowl was just impossible to get to due to work commitments so when the schedule came out I was determined to make another trip over and finally see us win one in the flesh.

...and I’m already on to Kansas City.  I want the Chiefs beaten to a gooey pulp and I want Patrick Mahomes calling State Farm for real; I hope he has collision coverage!  

This will be the biggest test for Lou Anarumo all year and it all comes down to disconnecting Mahomes from Travis Kelce.  After seeing what the Cincinnati defense did to Derrick Henry I’m not concerned at all about stopping Kansas City’s rushing attack. Mahomes will have to score through the air so it might be time to tighten up coverage and start picking off his passes like Von Bell did last year in the playoffs.

Calling the real Jake from state farm. Not this imposter version they trot out now. 

[Big_Ern]

Time for flowers to shut down Kelce again

[QueenCity]

Our KC friends really hate the Bengals LOL..... can't say I blame them. I'm glad they know Burrow took a potential SB win away from Mahomes.

I wonder if due to their division being a let down if we really know how much better they are without Hill. This may be a big test for both teams to find out who they really are. I'm betting on the HOME team with our weapons fully stocked.

I am actually surprised this game didn't get flexed to Sunday night (too late now). It's gonna be a good one I think. Awuzie out is gonna hurt, but didn't Flowers pretty much shadow Kelce in the games last year? Hopefully we get out to a fast start. I think this might be a high scoring game here. Can't wait to read the "threads from the enemy" thread.

They kind of already started a thread.  They want revenge for the last game.  Of which of course that game was supposed to be revenge for the game before that.  Their fans almost seem to think the Chiefs are invincible right now.

Well truth is they almost have been. They're 20-4 across their last 24 Regular and Postseason games.

Two losses to them Bengals though. Fingers crossed for a third next Sunday!

Their boards/ fans are already as insufferable as ever…

No surprise. Never knew KC fans were so classless until the AFC Championship game.

[*pally*]

this is CBS's #1 game. They are bringing in Nantz and Romo. Hopefully it will get widespread distribution so everyone can watch.

The Bengals had to play AFC South Champs Tennessee and then AFC West Champs Kansas City in play-offs back to back, and now back to back again, and maybe back to back in this years play-offs.  

These Burrow and Mahomes games are turning into modern Classics.  Much like Namath vs Unitas,  Bradshaw vs Staubach, Montana vs Marino or Elway,  Peyton Manning vs Tom Brady.   There are amazing match-ups in sports that you can't believe happened such as Wilt Chamberlain against Bill Russell or Kareem Abdul Jabbar, or Ali vs Frazier, or Arnold Palmer vs Jack Nicklaus.   These Burrow vs Mahomes are modern Classics happening now that will go down as legendary. 

As always, I look for both Burrow and Mahomes to play great.  The Bengals have won because they haven't given the ball back to Mahomes with time on the clock to make a game winning drive.  A Bengals win will come down to that, eating some late game clock so Mahomes doesn't even get a chance to pull off a comeback win.  Should be another Classic Game between Burrow and Mahomes, but GO BENGALS.

Don't forget Charleston Chiefs vs Syracuse and their hired goons....

I gotta say I'm confident in this game. Just 1 thing worries me. Apple and Taylor Britt... Can they hold up against that offense? Gonna need a lot of pressure on Mahomes...

Well I knew you’d be confident because of our head coach and play calller.
