There was a TON of late hits on Burrow not called, and tackles on receivers while the ball was in the air...the refs are so bad.

Ravens are the only hope against the Swifties but not with that D.

I'm not one to complain about the refs. Take care of your shit. Don't fumble the ball on the 30 when you are up 14. Don't throw a bomb on 4th and 2 in the 4th quarter.

But gawd damn that was some TERRIBLE officiating. At minimum - Bengals should have had another attempt at the 2pt conversion from the 1. I don't care which flag you throw - defensive holding or hands to the face on Burrow - but you can't just swallow the whistle - TWICE - on those fouls.

Its funny... when it comes to good things Baltimore does in the regular season, its 'Yeah, but only the playoffs matter.'

But when it comes to a bad regular season game its 'Oh, THAT regular season game mattered.'

KC lost to some HORRIBLE teams last year during the season... and it turned out just fine.

If Higgins plays in that game they most likely win in my opinion.

Seems like paying the man would have motivated him to play.

To be fair, I dont think Chase has as big of a game if Hamilton wasn't out the second half.

I dont know how its possible, but the Ravens secondary outside of Marlo, Hamilton, and Wiggins can't figure out how to transition zone coverage.

He's making $21.8 million this season

His quad is jacked. I don't think he's faking it.

KC might be the worst 8-0 team in the history of the NFL

They've been riding a wave of luck and referee favoritism all year.

I wouldn't be shocked if Denver beats them this weekend.

Hopefully the Bengals will be cheering on Lamar from their couch during the playoffs.

Bengals are about to rip off 7 wins in a row (LA, PIT, DAL, TEN, CLE, DEN, PIT) and finish 11-6 (assuming Burrow isn't hurt after all those late hits and right hooks to the face last night)

That's probably good enough for 2nd place behind BAL. I think PIT is about to lose 5 or 6 of their next 8.

But if the Bengals continue to piss this season away, yes - I will root for Lamar to destroy the Kansas Swifty Queefs.

I'm not as optimistic. They may beat the lesser teams, but that defense will sink them in the playoffs.
Probably a loss to LA and split with Pitt. 9-8 imo.
Really should have pursued an Edge rusher before trade deadline.

I think Pitt or Buff have the best chance at beating KC in playoffs, as they actually have legit defenses, unlike Cin and Balt

I would not go as far as saying hes faking it but I dont think he is very motivated to show up and play though it.

Also the 21mil is alot but it's not what he wanted as he wanted a long term deal. Hes not happy with his financial situation no matter how you cut it.

I don't disagree. I'm sure he wants a 5 year deal somewhere. So would I just from a stability stand point. But you can't pay everyone. I'm on record as saying I'd rather have Tee over Chase because I think he's a better teammate, but when you see the chemistry that Burrow and Chase still have I doubt the Bengals pass on locking down Chase.

But if this season has proven anything it's that you still need to have a defense and an offensive line. Even with an elite QB and an elite WR breaking records - games are still tough to win if you are shit everywhere else.

Locking down Burrow, Chase and Tee sounds awesome until you take a glance at the cap space left for the rest of the team.

Not in KC, maybe in Denver
In KC I don't think they have a chance, Refs don't call much on KC vs Broncos in KC

The 2024 Chiefs are absolutely not the worst 8-0 team in history.

That would be the 2013 Chiefs that started 9-0, and finished 11-5 and lost their WC game.
