I didn't want to necessarily tack on another post-game thread -- but I didn't see this particular subject out there. Forgive me if I missed it.
Basically, I just wondered if anyone else has noticed that some outlets are leaning towards a more "if Mahomes had done this or that" narrative, in lieu of "the Bengals were great" kind of assessment. I know Monday morning quarterbacking is pretty much par for the course, but you don't usually hear this about the "usual suspect" so-to-speak "better" franchises. They usually just tout the winning team's success and not the losing team's shortfalls, as if, if not exclusively for those shortfalls, the roles would be reversed. Know what I mean?
Is it just me...?
Its not just you. Seeing the same thing on Reddit. Nearly all discussion is on what Mahomes did wrong but hardly anything on what the Bengals did right. My fav was a tweet from Nick Wright saying contgrats Bengals, you earned it yet in the same tweet say the Chiefs imploded.
Which is it? We earned it or were given the game because the other team imploded?
