Conference Championships Discussion

Postby Orenthal Shames » Wed Jan 26, 2022 5:53 pm

The Bengals have already wildly exceeded my expectations. This young team has been so fun to root for this season. The entire city has been electric these past weeks. It's palpable. People are walking on air. Here's hoping it continues, but if not, I'm thankful for the experience.

They have been an amazing story. With Burrow you never know so root hard this week.

Almost like they shouldn't have signed him in the first place. Great guy.

As a football fan, give me a Chiefs - Rams Super Bowl and let them recreate that MNF game they had a couple of years ago.

I was thinking that too. It would definitely be the scorefest 9000 Superbowl. It's not like the Rams have gotten any less lethal, either...

I'm with Bill Burr on that one. Not a fan of games with zero defense. I don't want a 9-6 ground and pound, but I want to see a team get stopped sometimes. When it's all offense, it's not that exciting to me.

I kinda thought it began when he quarterbacked the most stacked College team of all time and broke all the offensive records then went 1st overall in the draft, but... what do I know :crazy:

I'm curious if the people claiming that CEH wasn't going to see a diminished role going forward are still as confident.

Sure looks like McKinnon has taken over the lead back role

Yep. He's super efficient. McKinnon is OK, looking good, but he's got a track record of doing that for a few games before he gets hurt. I think CEH look spry, and I believe he's still fighting injury. Certainly looks better than Akers. :wink: I mean the numbers 6 and 8 I don't think Akers knows even exist since coming back from injury. :lol:

Pretty sure he was talking NFL wise, come on. Secondly, there were plenty of people saying he was propped up by talent, at least to a degree.

He's merely a replaceable back in a great situation. They've used McKinnon, Williams, Gore and nothing has changed.

Looks like the Chiefs have the same disease the Vikes had this season, get a lead then they don't have the killer instinct to finish their opponent off. The Bengals are who the Chiefs thought they were, where is Denny Green when you need him!? lol

Legacy? Burrow. Is awesome. Watched every game of his senior year. Loved him. Went to a Bengals game in the mid 90's vs my Raiders. drove about 10 hours. Bengals fans were class, with me decked out in my Raiders gear. Cheered for them after the Raiders were out, by default ever since. GO BENGALS.
