I really didn't want to invest myself into this because I believe thats its a toss up game. So much has been said between the two teams and which one holds water.... I guess "Nothing"

1) Win the coin toss because it means quite a bit to see # 15 this week in how he moves. I say that to say that ankle will be so full of 2035 that he won't feel any pain until February. No seriously!

2) It'll be cold and loud so whats the best way to quiet a crowd. You run the football and play down and distance. If one guy isn't working go to the other. This isn't a who has the best weapons game Zac! Stick to the script.

3) Lou just be what you've always been against KC & don't change anything outside of maybe blitzin
g earlier. Thats why I'd like to be on defense first..

4) Joe sent out a nugget in a presser hyping up the Chief rookie cornerbacks. Now the modest wouldn't see it but I just smiled. The growth in him has been his check down game and not force feeding his weapons. He'll continue that to eliminate pressure.

5) Can the unit continue to play as such without three starters? I'm not sure but that was a performance last week for " The Pack" ... Joe may fall a few times this week but as I said last week. Don't let it be meaningful and we can still fight. Again I don't see this group being the reason! Though I'm not as high on Carman this was a welcomed sight for this organization for many reasons. Duplicate it now because everything is on the line for not only you but your city. I think that you & Adeniji will be just fine again.

6) Oh & Eli Apple/ Mike Hilton. Just don't be the reason because well " You Said It" Ok! One of you should get a turnover right.... We'll see but I think CTB sends us to a second straight SB.

Bengals 20
Chiefs 14

I actually feel like this matchup with Frank Clark favors Carman over Williams.  Jonah may be (a lot) more experienced and a little quicker, but there is no doubt Carman is stronger at the point of attack.  He simply doesn't get bullrushed.  Jonah may have been less effective due to nagging injuries, but he was less effective than he has ever been.  The stronger, fresher Carman could actually be a bonus if he can do it again.

Adeniji offers a different skill set than Collins.  Quicker, longer, but not nearly as strong at the point of attack.  Since they altered the line scheme early on, I think it might better suit the more athletic Adeniji.  I sure won't hold his performance at guard against him.  He was very solid and had a couple really nice plays in the run game.  What I liked best was zero penalties.  

The weather will not be as sloppy and it will be a better defense.  Definitely a bigger test for the big boys, but I think they will be up to the challenge.
