The Bengals aren't gonna be able to compete today unless their lines start playing a lot better than they are right now. They're getting handled in the trenches.

Their DL is picking it up the Chiefs just scheme so well for it. But yeah their OL is a serious concern for them

Social media is of course a cesspool. But I was referring less to fans which always have a few rotten apples in the bunch somewhere and more the Chiefs players. They're just as cocky as the Bengals if not more. It's the same as how other fans perceived the 2015 Panthers I guess. But that was one season. The Chiefs have had a possible dynasty with Mahomes. Now some of them act as if they have an expectation they are just supposed to win. That's why it was nice to see the Bengals humble them in the AFC championship last year.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. Any good team is going to have confidence/cockiness. I see much less from the Chiefs than Bengals the last year or so, despite the Chiefs being able to back it up by actually having a ring. Bengals and their fans act like they’re entitled to win this game after taking the last 3 vs the Chiefs.

Well I agree that's a foolish mentality. But there's plenty of football left in this game. I'd rather see both teams make a game of it showboating or not.

The Bengals are very fortunate to only be down 6-0 because the Chiefs are dominating this game.

I'm a bit nervous if I'm the Chiefs. Seems like dominating a game on the field but not translating it to the scoreboard comes back to bite you in the ass a lot of times.

I'm kinda over the Chiefs after that merry go round thing from a few weeks ago and these TE laterals. Although Eagles/Chiefs might be the better Super Bowl game entertainment wise

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
