***Week 2 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Chiefs***

The refs suddenly step in and steal them on really tricky tack calls. This one, the uncalled illegal block in the AFCCG, the phantom PI on Wilson in the Super Bowl. And making the claim of "it shouldn't have come down to that" does NOT justify the refs - they are supposed to be 100% neutral in their calls and instead it seems like every key game this team plays they suddenly insert themselves and ALWAYS to our detriment. Now our season is on life support. So far the Burrow era is not really paying off in the only way that matters - titles. 

I didn't see much if any contact and he's screaming "he got there early!!" 

Is that against the rules now? Getting there early isn't a rule, getting there early and draping yourself all over the receiver, pulling on a face mask (no call for Chase), etc and so on, are against the rules.

The def had help. Ravens fans said the same thing last week. Would be a great story for a real journalist to dig into. I don't think it's to push KC forward, I honestly think it is $$$$$. 

Follow the money!

The Browns gave like a billion bucks to a sex offender who isn't good at football...I think you have the checkmate on that one.  Personally, I live around Steeler fans and they're just bemused at how bad they look at 2-0 after beating two crap teams with Justin Fields playing like well...Justin Fields.

Again i ask you. do you really think they call that shit on KC if it was the other way around? We all know we wouldn't get that call.

Gotta STFU and not cost your team

He cost the team the game.

Chase Brown needs a lot more touches.
Need Tee in there asap.
Less 7th round rookies on 4th and longs to seal the game.

Tee is getting on my nerves. I worked with my foot broken in two places for nearly a month before I went to the doctor. Rub some Mary Jane's Medicinals Nano Salve (or the Ohio MMJ equivalent) on that hammy and suit up.

Dude seems to be super sensitive and hurt more than he's not. I like him, but how did he hurt himself THAT BAD in the preseason? I think he milks it.

Him, Zac's decision to put a 7th rd rookie in at the most crucial play against these very KC friendly refs, Joe's multiple sacks (again), Joe's fumble, Money missing the FG...

Defense played great, until it REALLY mattered. Same shit, different season.

Just like the playoff game couple years ago, penalty puts KC in FG range for the win.

Of course not. But when we point it out? We get an UC flag. 

I am not saying all of them but definitely think some of these refs have an agenda.

[Timanky12]

Seriously, did anyone think we would win after that performance last week. I’m glad we showed up, at least.

I’m just sick and tired of 0-2 every year. We are playing against a stacked deck every year, and need a miracle to get back in the game.

If they didn’t, it would be egregious.

Well, they lost by one didn't they?  Doesn't matter HOW it came about

You don't call PI on a jump ball that both players are going for unless one grabs and pulls the other down

[RunKijanaRun]

Terrible offensive gameplan. Another crummy game by Burrow. Jamarr “PAY ME ALL THE MONEYS” Chase has what, 40 yards this year?

No way I pay Chase that kind of money. No way. I’m still convinced we overpaid for Burrow.

I'll admit it's two weeks in a row I more sure that they'd barely win and come out "stinking like a rose" and they didn't.  Ah well, it's the Burrow Bengals so the season doesn't really start until week 4 or so.  I guess until they lose early in the playoffs because of a bad seed due to a slow start it doesn't matter.

[swilson3828]

Still a LOT of Bum fans still making excuses for this organization, even after nearly a half century of Bungle.
I guess they'll eventually learn to hope for the best but ALWAYS expect the worst with whatever Bengal team is playing in whatever season they're playing in. It's just the way it is.

Likely have to play in KC, even if they turn it around.

C'mon man anyone with any eyes knows that was not a jump ball lol. The defender was moving forward and went into the back of the receiver early.  I knew it was a penalty even before the flag was thrown it was that obvious.

Put this feel-good narrative in a time capsule for the AFC Championship game:

You really think the Chiefs are confident they can beat us twice in the same year?  And I'd rather go into KC than play at home because Burrow works better when he's in a hostile environment and he can stuff an L in all their faces, the NFL's face, and Taylor Swift's face (unless she broke up with Kelce and is dating Burrow and will eventually own the Bengals).

He made contact before the ball arrived…that’s a penalty. The ref made the correct call and $$$$ had nothing to do with it.
Mahomes played one of the worst games of his career and we played just well enough to win…without making stupid mistakes which is why we lost.

They have a better HC and most would say a better QB than us so we have to play a near perfect, more dominant game.

Damn. I got screwed on both ends. Bengals lost, and Chiefs didn't cover the spread. At least if we would have pulled off the victory, I would have had something to be happy about.
