Haha yeah if they had won this 3rd super bowl trip i would’ve called them that. This is a real bad look for them.

A franchise QB just took a bad OL and a reviled head coach to the super bowl

the argument is over 

you don’t pass on an opportunity to take a franchise QB just because you want to stick it to a coach you don’t like, you don’t pass on a potential franchise QB to “play it safe” in the draft

 

its time for the panthers to draft a QB

 

arguably the better QB lost the game. this game was won by the team with the better defense, not the better QB.

The run by Cincy with a bad OL gives me hope

Just need to find the best QB-WR duo in college and draft them in back to back years. Can't be that hard right...right? 

Seeing the Bengals get right fast is the best thing for the NFL. Every franchise has hope. Except the Lions. They aren't allowed to have hope.

man, the last 5 NFL games....

that's what sports is all about

In worried the NFC is gonna be a dud one way or the other and wreck the streak. But ya. We haven’t had playoffs like this in at least 3-4 years.

Should have been ballgame when Mahomes fumbled on their last possession of regulation.  They got lucky with that recovery.

i see it more as great half time adjustments by cincinnati than a choke by KC

Yes they were good adjustments but at the end of the day with Reid’s track record and experience along with Mahomes’ and their recent playoff success to blow that lead at home in this situation is flat out unacceptable. The Chiefs are such a significantly better team than the Bengals and the first half was indicative of that, they just choked it away badly in the 2nd half.

 

If Rams get by their kryptonite tonight I think Stafford gets his ring this year.

Curious who they assigned the tackle to on Mixon when he was never touched and celebrated before the play was over. Tackled by teammate? lol

Still the plan the Bengals for Burrow is what Rhule wanted Darnold to do. Short quick passes and running. Unfortunately Darnold sucks at it and Burrow was pretty good it.

The OT favor is returned to the Chiefs from last week.  Now they know how it feels not being able to answer the other team's score.  They even had the ball first.  No excuses.

CIN seems like a team of destiny in this postseason.  I think they take it tbh.

We were team of destiny in 2003, I don’t see it happening. Especially if Rams win tonight

They'll be ok. I like Mahomes but the Bengals getting in gives hope to other franchises that have been stuck in a rut. The Chiefs will be competing for another title next year Mahomes is just that good.

so proud of Cincy... this is a mirror of the 2003 Panthers team

Perfect outcome, especially after a week of hearing that Mahomes and Allen will run the AFC for the next decade.
