Dumbest penalty in play off history right there. Bengals should trade him for sheer stupidity.

He wasn’t thinking at all was he…I think you’re being generous Gorg lol. He might have to catch the bus back home.

I have some sympathy for defensive players with late hits because they offensive player often flirts with the boundary and then skips out and draws a soft penalty. They love calling them for certain qb’s and not for others and positional players too.

But yeah, that one was terrible. They’d both run out and he had to do whatever he could to avoid contact with Mahomes. 

Would’ve been <7 seconds left and either a 60 yard or so FG or a Hail Mary. Ie. Overtime with the Bengals looking the more promising team in the second half 

[DeeSpencer 25,652]

I tipped the Chiefs because I didn’t ever want to go against Mahomes at home and he’s just amazing, clearly not nearly 100% and getting it done.

And because I thought the Chiefs could get pass rush on the Bengals and they sure did. 

Still, an amazing job by the Chiefs young secondary and Mahomes did just enough with a receiving corps running out of healthy bodies and talent.

I think the reality is Mahomes is going to have to be miraculously healthier and have some receivers outside Kelce or MVS to win the super bowl. With 2 weeks until the game - maybe they can do it

If the Bengals get Burrow an Oline he will be winning 14 games per season

Ha ha!

The current leaderboard resembles the 2003 Brownlow ... if I recall, 3 won on 22 that year, another 3 had 21 votes and yet another 3 had 19 votes.  2 more on 18?

With us it's who blinks first or we all hold off as long as possible! 

We're a competitive bunch

[Gorgoroth 12,942]

Now injury watch on all the WR’s frog eh chiefs begins!

Years ago when the team (Demons) was crud I once made mention here that if the team was as competitive as many of the posters, we'd never lose a game!!

Hard luck on your 49ers layz, but you needed a fit and fiting QB just to have a sporting chance ... especially in the Eagles house

And it's always an achievement to at least compete in the championship game.  28 teams didn't make it that far

Yeah, if he can get back and actually fire then he could be key. Can’t see the run game via the Eagles being a factor. 
Mahomes gets another two weeks to heal too.

Haha yeah if you think about how much fight and ticker posters have shown over the years! Not to mention coaching ability and strategy 😝

Yeah look it's a rough set of circumstances but that's the sport. A good season and a 12 game win streak is always impressive but you gotta have that QB it's just the way it is. The Eagles were very good and I don't even think they were playing at their best, still another gear to go. Grats to @Dappa Dan I know he's out there with a smile right now 😀

In these big games receiver depth makes the difference and when the pressure is in a QB's face who their check down options are. Hoping Juju gets up because he does offer something a bit different for that offense. His YAC and ability to make defenders miss will be crucial in this one.

The WR v Corners/Safety is going to be key. If the Eagles can nullify the WR of the Chiefs and clamp on Kelce it’s going to win them the game. 
For me I’d clamp Kelce and if you get beaten by the WR crew one on one then so be it. But take Kelce out of the game, he is Mahomes safety blanket.

Purdy with a torn UCL and out for 6 months.

Sean Payton traded to the Broncos. Wonder if he can fix them, I hope not. I like the broncos but he is a [censored] and I hope he fails spectacularly.
