The Chiefs aren’t used to being beat like a bass drum by an undrafted backup quarterback. They are emotionally fragile.

I'm surprised we are not using Chuck Sizzle at WR or Yoshi it seems - they have speed to burn and if they can get established it makes the job of the defense really rough.

[Whacked]

Boyd is MIA

Not cool w Tee being out …. AGAIN

I meant to add the s/ Said something when we used the second with 8:00 left in the half. Why some sloppy?

Dude has definitely outlived his usefulness. Maybe if he doesn’t dance in the backfield his average would be a little better. Moron just stopped after the run and didn’t bother rushing back for a spike.

Well especially the 1st one. As it seemed predetermined as we just stood there with 15 secs left I think it was a 1st down as well.

Stoolers need to lose today. Ravens will be resting starters next week.

This will happen in the second half; I look for Iosivas, Jones, and Irwin to come up big.

I think steelers game is tied now. Would Colts even care about beating the texans if the colts are eliminated from playoffs?

I hope browning gets up to boyd and say get the **** open and walks away, how does he have zero targets, browning has time back there! QB shouldn't take more hits than the rest of the team, browning is having to run.

Halftime guys trying to figure out how KC can win this.

That was weird.

That QB comparison chart was hilarious and sad. If Bengals had any semblance of a defense they're where the browns are. Impressive 8-7 record with the worst defense in the league, just below average would account for 1-2 more wins.

Do they have functional speed at a playing level? With the routes and hands to go with it? 

They are averaging 3.8 and 8.0 yards per catch this year and less than 100 combined yards.

They were a late 4th and 6th round picks for a reason, and those guys can indeed break out occasionally, but early in their rookie years because there is normally something they need to improve on that kept them from being a higher pick.

They have combined to play over 22% of the offensive snaps this year, so it isn't like they haven't been on the field at all.

It's not complicated. Our D cannot tackle and constantly loses track of the receiver and/or ball carrier. Just keep playing.

Lou Anarumo needs to figure out how to shut down Pacheco. The sidelines are completely unprotected.

I look at your signature before reading your posts and it makes them 2x more funny lol

It was just funny. Nothing about the Bengals after Boomer said something. Just how can KC win this because that’s how it’s supposed to be.

Yes they do actually. Before he got hurt Burrow was starting to get a rapport with Yoshi especially in the redzone. And in both Stealer games you saw Yoshi burn his defender but Browning failed to pull the trigger. Just saying we have loads of speed in the WR room let's use it - there is nothing to lose.
