Bengals stuck to the run and played defense. Made a big difference. Jeff and Howie would've fired away in the second half. 

No doubt I’m cheering for Cinci no matter who they play in two weeks. 

The Bengals proved that you play the Chiefs for who they are, not for who people say they are. I'm pleased for the Bengals, even if the owner is still as cheap as a $2 steak

I don’t disagree with you. I’ve just seen other teams try to do the same thing. And the quarterback usually just gets the snap and throws it away because he’s worried about the clock running out. Which is why like you, I just kick it with five seconds and not have to even worry about it.

To me the line is 7.  Less than 7, kick.  More than 7 throw into the end zone... but to throw it short of the goal line...  He put too much stock in Hill's speed to make up for his stupidity.  Bit him hard.

These have been the best non eagles  playoff games I ever remember. Close game wise. It's been amazing. 

Pretty impressive that Cincy had enough confidence in their coverage to actually spy Mahomes - mind blowing, it’s like we play a different sport.

Andy Reid and clock management don't really go together. 

He's great at game plans, scripted plays, etc. When someone is stopping him he can't make adjustments, gets away from the run, and has issues with the clock still. A lot of people forgot why he was fired and that is why.

Think Williams from NO is more likely with their major cap Hell.  Bengals have good cap room to re-sign a key D player.

Easily some of the best in NFL history

 

Very happy that Chiefs failed and I'm hoping for a collapse

Oh crap.  Strahan said Burrow has swagger!!!!!!
 

He must not have heard.   

He has swagger, but he’s not a s******

Burrow is a likeable lad, seems really down to earth.

Going to be tough for them going up against either of these DLs.  Tough OL v DL matchup so their D is going to have to play like they did in the 2nd half and Burrow is going to have to make a lot of plays.  Not impossible, but going to be tough.

I did smirk at the old AR coming out.  He's done a great job in KC, but the fat man will be the fat man till the day he dies once the pressure is on.  The Bengals took Hill and Kelce away, and the O died on the vine

I am pulling for my local boy Cooper Kupp the rest of the way

Congrats to the city of Cincinnati & the Bengals!  ....30+ years?  That town must be going wild right now.

Hope Marcus Williams's price tag is affordable.

Him with an early draft pick would change some things around here quickly.

Let's go Rams

If the rams win the SB i win $175. I had the bills for $125. I was hoping for that matchup. However i wouldn’t mind seeing the bengals winning a super bowl. Maybe third time is a charm against the niners and they finally beat them.

I am in a pool that I win an authenticated autographed Gronk helmet if the Rams win it.

Torn on this one.

Cincy-SF feels nostalgically good 

Cincy-LA has some great storylines

Would be happy to see Stafford get to the dance.

Him and Brisker together would be a huge help to the D.  Not just the secondary, but the overall D as it'd give the DC loads of options in schemes.
