At this point, only 2 teams are eliminated from the playoffs, the Texans and ????

Broncos

Man, I can't wait until the Bengals have to pay their players. No idea how they don't crush everyone

Zack Taylor still calls the plays on offense. He reads from an "Offense for Dummies" book.

They should just let Burrow call the plays and go...he makes it so much more complicated than it needs to be.

@msgkings322 Jimmy G has a broken foot.

Looks like you were right @DJ
Jimmy out for the year
Might not be a dramatic drop off to Purdy but no way this is not a bummer for them.

If anyone has watched the past three games against the Bills, Bengals and the last two against the Titans then I have no clue as to how you can come up with the idea that KC just matches up poorly with Cincinnati. The issue is that it's too hard to keep a complete roster intact year after year.

They have 1 more year with the current WR group. Boyd and Higgins will both be up. No way I see Higgins taking less to stay - someone is going to drop a bag for that man - and good for him.

But, as Burrow has shown when Higgins was out last year, or Chase this year...He can make it work.

They may not have the West wrapped up.....not sure what the rest of their schedule is like but Purdy has never made an NFL start. They could be in trouble.

The Raiders play the Niners.....

In their own delusional world all offseason the Chiefs kept on throwing around the word 'fluke'. An some actually ate it up. So fuck em.

Fair enough, don’t have a dog in the fight and can see how that would be annoying.

probably win that crappy division but doubt they beat eagles/vikes or cowboys in the playoffs

Helluva QB you guys got there, the modern day Joe Cool.

Bengals haven't had a QB with the "it" factor since Boomer in the mid/late 80's.

Still really odd to watch and not be worried that at the last second they will Bungle the game away...even when Dalton was doing OK, you always had that nagging feeling in the back of your head - someone was going to screw it up...so odd not having that feeling......

 

[Cedrique]

Was that wrong? Should he not have done that?

Don't wish any injuries on a guy... I like Jimmy G actually... "BUT" this does open things up for my Hawks a bit in the NFC West...

That's my interpretation, too.

I've seen some YouTubers call out some really bad playcalls early this season from Cincinnati. Your roster is absolutely stacked, though, and now the oline is jelling. I'm not sure you guys should be underdogs to anyone except maybe the Bills if they're healthy

Nope still alive

Yeah - the OL is really coming along now. Should have played them in the pre-season and maybe it wouldn't have taken 4 games to get going. Burrow missing a month prior to the season with his appendectomy really hurt as well...if he's healthy 100% in game 1 - they don't drop that game.

Gotta get over the Cleveland hump next week, though. They've had our number the past few games...don't think Burrow's beaten them yet (Though he's missed a few games with injury/sat last year's week 18 matchup). Take care of business there - and focus on getting back at the Ravens at that point.

Regardless - that was a fun game to watch. These two guys are going to be battling it out in the AFC for awhile - along with Allen...
