I hope I'm wrong, but i just don't see us pulling out an upset at their one turf. That place is one the hardest, if not the hardest place to play in the NFL. Maybe the Chiefs will be in a daze from that Sunday night game and overlook us. Just hoping.

Well, the Chiefs got Kpass back in practice so that's a plus I guess. More passrush the better.
And Berry? When is he coming back?

I'm tired of watching Kendall Fuller getting burned on every play and missing tackles. Need some help in the secondary.

Fuller ain't going anywhere for a long while; especially when your options are Tremon Smith and Charvarious Ward. Safeties and LB's have been far worse than the CB's, anyhow.

Berry I'd guess would be somewhere around the bye. They don't need him right now and it's described as a pain management issue.

Secondly, I really don't think Fuller has been a major problem. He may be adjusting in terms of scheme and team, but... bad he is not. Hell, even Scandrick looks fine.

I am seeing a lot of RB's and TE's put up big stats on the Chiefs though in the passing game. Until that changes, talking about CB's is kinda pointless when their issue is more mediocrity than outright sucking. Not that an elite CB1 couldn't help, but it'd help far less than most people think, imo. Berry or Thomas would have made a much larger impact.

Or... just Hitchens and Ragland playing like they did last year.

3 of the Bengals next 4 games are against the Chiefs, Ravens, and Saints .... could they be sitting at 5-5 after a 4-1 start?

I still think the Bengals will finish with 9 or 10 wins and be in the playoff hunt but their loss on Sunday had to hurt ....

they aren't playing Ragland very much any more on 'likely' passing downs because even they figured out how bad he was in coverage ... now, Hitchens is the problem against the pass ... in general, the Chiefs safeties and LB's are very poor against the pass which leads to the question on why Bob Sutton continues to isolate his defenders one on one ....

I firmly believe a better D coach with a better D scheme could make those guys at least decent

Well Terrance Smith is bad too so it's a triple whammy, but yeah.

Sutton's scheme has pretty clearly run its course. Had some good years, but when Hitchens goes from very good run defender to bum, that raises all kinds of alarm bells.

They have the worst defense in the league and we have the weapons to outscore them just like we did against the Falcons.

Bengals have a pretty good track record against the Chiefs too.

The Chiefs are 18th in pass D DVOA...

Careful what you wish for...

Any game the chiefs have a chance of being outscored ... this isn't an automatic loss

Chaney wasn't even close on the score prediction so I'm not counting this one ...
