Man the Chiefs wasted a hell of a lot of time on that first play

 

[kingdivac]

Bengals giving the RB an extra 2 or 3 yards there.....not good

 

[pdxKingsFan]

oh good grief why on effing earth?

 

[Kingz19]

Ugh, Bengals went full Greenlaw there

 

[Tetsujin]

Feel like the guy hit Mahomes out of bounds because he was trying to brace himself as his ACL gave out lol

 

[pdxKingsFan]

what in the everloving F he was out of bounds although I think the guy blew his knee out on the play and had no chance to stop himself but still

 

[SLAB]

Bengals suck. My god.

 

[Kingz19]

Ossai hiding in his helmet

this can be such a depressing game

 

[Tetsujin]

Andy Reid gets to have his revenge against the franchise that unceremoniously fired him to hire Chip Kelly. This is going to be a bloodbath lol

 

[pdxKingsFan]

as I was saying incomplete pass and big sack. they just lost on a FG as time expired. book it.

Even though this was my post I'm imagining our dearly departed Colin Robinson having the time of his life over on bengalsfans.com right now.

 

[kingdivac]

Ugh, I dont like the way Eagles won, and I cant stand the Chiefs, its like Seahawks v Patriots part II

 

[Kingz19]

well, don’t think even the Eagles are lucky enough to overcome the luckiest damn team I’ve ever seen lol

Yeah it was a bad call just like the PI call, and that 2nd chance f%$k up do-over by the incompetent so-called pro refs

It was 100% a correct call clear as day and Mahomes has gotten ones that weren't even that close his entire career. It's a problem because QBs can run out of bounds like that and then not go out of bounds last second when players back off (something Mahomes has also done), but it's the rule.

The grounding call on Burrow was also a bad call imo

Burrow got hit as he threw the ball and there was still a RB in the vicinity of the ball

He went out to touch him but lost his balance and leaned into him when falling.....obvious. It wasn't a "hit".

 

[SLAB]

Silver lining, the Niners would have 100% gotten throttled by KC. So at least I don’t have to live through that again.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Mahomes will go down as one of the greatest. Slippery fella

 

[kingdivac]

I'll come around and cheer the Eagles.......but I dont think they win.......same problem as the 49ers, will not generate the offense needed to win. Bengals and Bills were the 2 teams available with a good chance and had to play each other early. NFC teams nope.

That's how they've been calling it for years to protect QBs though. you can't breathe on a QB when he's OOB.

Throttled? maybe, lose? yes

I did think that one was cheap. I think they should just do away with grounding since you are allowed to ground it very intentionally as long as you meet a bunch of random criteria but are still very much left with zero out. Or they should call anything not catchable a grounding.

Kelce wants to be Kittle or Gronk so bad. It's like someone put George Kittle's character traits into one of those AIs and it came out 25% less authentic than intended.

I think it likely comes down to turnovers and whether or not the Chiefs jump out to a couple touchdown lead. Kansas City won’t be able to stop the Eagles run game but if Mahomes gets a sizable lead it will be tough. They will probably double Hassan and rely on Pats little scrambles

It's offense against the Chiefs - can the opposing (in this case Eagles) offense generate the needed points. What you mention was the same thing 49er fans said 3 years ago, and it didn't matter a lick with the run game - and that 49ers run game was just as good then. Mahomeless won today with gimpy leg;, he will have 12-13 days rest and his injury will likely be closer to healed by the time they play. Unless the Eagles knock him out of the game too, the Chiefs will win by 7-10 pts - I would've said similar for the 49ers had they won today. You need explosive pass plays against the Chiefs to match their own. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the Bengals couldn't pull it out and blew it.

Really the only thing holding him back at this point is just the pure volume/years in terms of him being the GOAT. No question about it if he stays healthy Absolutely absurd all he's accomplished in 5 seasons as a starter.

the Eagles can throw too. AJ brown, Dallas and Smith are a pretty fantastic skill position group. If Hurts gets back to pre injury accuracy I expect some big pass gains. The thing about the NFL is that single elimination allows for about anything to happen. I won’t be surprised by a multitude of outcomes

 

[iowamcnabb]

I’ve been an Eagles fan since the Cunningham days and there were a ton of crappy years before Big Red got there. After they won it all in 2017 I rested easy with them and anything that happened since has just been a cherry on top. Sure I want them to win, but I’m not desperate for a victory like before that year.

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Chiefs over The She-gles (A Cowboys fan can NEVER cheer for the She-gles...).

Apologies, @iowamcnabb...

Niners fans, that was rough. My biggest question for you heading into the offseason and, eventually, next season, is how will your defense fare without Ryans (if, according to the rumors, he ends up heading to Houston, or any other team for that matter).
