Unfortunately Joe Burrow's wrist is built to last about a month.
|
Meh. What else is he supposed to say?
|
*in the regular season
|
That whole city is full of Jabroni's
|
All you can do is say "bring it" and show up.
Oh, and by the way, where exactly are you hiding your Super Bowl Trophies, bengal bitch? Go Chiefs! |
I like it. They keep talking. We’ll keep winning. Balance in the universe
|
|
Are the Bengals now the preseason Champs, bumping the Chargers?

Funny thing about statements that begin with the words "I think."

Up to this point Burrow has been unbelievably fortunate playing with Chase, Higgins, and Boyd. He gets Higgins for one more year paired with Chase so he better win it all this year. Let’s see how good Joe is when his only threat is taken out of most games going forward. Dude couldn’t beat the Rams a few years back when it mattered most. But he sure likes to run his mouth.

So far not so much but that means the odds are better for it to happen.
Having players out because they are stupid wont help either Lets hope we can get it together one more time |
Here’s the entire question and response. Some people cry too much when they “think” Chiefs are being underestimated. Burrow is truly speaking facts here, not reason to get upset lol
Speaking this week during the New Heights' live podcast, Burrow broke down why he's had success against K.C. where others have not, looking back fondly at the battles between two of the AFC's recent behemoths. "I think we both work really hard. They have great players, we have great players," Burrow told Jason and Travis Kelce, per the Bengals' website. "I think we match up pretty well with them. I think we're built to beat them. I always appreciate the legendary battles we have. Guys are out there always making plays. Patrick (Mahomes) is always out there making plays. Both teams have big-time defensive lines. It's a great matchup." Burrow's comments were nothing short of complimentary, but the claim sandwiched between the rest of his answer is what will spur debate. |

Uhhh lots of stuff? He needs to watch how Mahomes blows smoke up his opponents’ butts. That’s how you play this game. |

That’s like saying, “Oh he only insulted Andy Reid’s mother in that one sentence. Everything else around it was very nice and cordial.” He said what he said. And the bulletin board is gonna rape him now |
That’s all well and good but bengals fans probably didn’t read it. They don’t start paying attention to their team until it’s October and they have a winning record
|
A good first step for the Bengals would be to not finish last in their division this year.

The whole AFCW built their teams to beat the Chiefs.. How’s that working for them??
Oh and…. **** the Bengals…. |

That's all good and well, but Burrow needs to focus on surviving the AFCN first. That division is a daunting mother****er

If we had to pick one AFC team that “can” beat the Chiefs it’s the Bengals. I’m just saying, he’s not wrong lol. |

How are they built to beat the Chiefs NOW? Since their only playoff win against us, the Chiefs have won two Super Bowls. We’re different. They’re different too. That’s the only thing that matters |

I mean I hate the idea that cincy of all markets has a competitive football team. But of all the teams when healthy they are our best competition. Zac Taylor made the offense look halfway decent with browning and with his best WRs not at 100%. Their defense actually held on to some of their key playmakers longer than I had expected.
I want to say they peaked a few years ago. Then again we said that about the chiefs and we adjusted just fine. This isn’t a Justin Herbert or Lamar situation where they didn’t get the job done with loaded rosters. They did it with a ton of cheap draft picks so while they’ll lose talent, they wont end up in cap hell. Bengals are more likely to adapt to post cap destruction than most other teams. |

Their roster gets worse every year. They missed their windows choking against Stat Padford

Congratulations on capitalizing on your fluke win with ZERO Lombardis.

“IF WE HAD TO PICK ONE TEAM” Nobody is saying they’re beating us. We’re speaking hypothetically here. |
I don't see why this is controversial or why people are taking offense at it. The Colts were built to beat the Patriots. They didn't do it terribly often but that's how they were built. So were the Steelers. So were the Chiefs after Andy got here.
Why? Because at the time, the Patriots were the top team in the AFC and the NFL. If your goal is to win it all, you build your team to take out the top. Now, the Chiefs are the top. The Bengals have had various degrees of success. In the regular season they tend to do better than in the playoffs, although they've been successful one year. But I have no doubt that when the Bengals' front office looks at their draft needs, a major consideration is which players will put them in a better position to beat KC. If they're deciding between 2 players and they are otherwise equal, I expect the Bengals to pick the player that they think will better help them beat the Chiefs. Why? Because the Chiefs are the top and are going to be the most likely obstacle between the Bengals, or any other team, and a Lombardi trophy. |

I'm guess I'm not understanding why everyone is getting their panties in a wad over this?
I mean, if you are in the AFC, and your goal is to get to the Super Bowl, you're going to have to get through KC every ****ing year. This have been proven out in the playoffs every year Mahomes has been the starter. So if you're an AFC team and you're NOT trying to build your team to 'beat KC' then I would seriously question the intelligence of your front office and your coaching staff. The Chiefs ARE the standard and EVERY team should be trying to figure out a way to get by that, regardless of whether you're a 'contender' like the Bengals or some poor schlep like the Broncos, for instance. I'm just not really seeing the harm in his comment. :shrug: |

“We’re built to beat the Chiefs.” Me: “In what way are they built to beat the Chiefs?” You: “You’re being way too sensitive.” Okay. Whatever. Keep not answering the question I guess. You do you. |

Because it’s a stupid word choice. The Bengals aren’t actually building their team to intentionally match up with us. And if they are, they’re constructed to beat the Chiefs with Tyreek, not this iteration that has done nothing but win rings each year. Maybe they should also focus on being built to beat the ****ing Rams. That would help get them a SB |
Quote:
It's their way of saying "Yea, the Chiefs are on top, but we have their number!". In other words, still clinging to a few regular season wins and that one AFCCG, when we've beat them in another and won 2 SBs since. |

It goes without saying that they didn’t finish the job at their peak and it’s only gonna go downhill from here. But I think they’re very well positioned to be a competitive team. Good - I love the rivalry especially since we’re the better team and we’ve already gone through reinventing ourselves where cincy is just getting started. |
NO ONE BELIEVES IN US!
|
They're well-positioned to regularly challenge the Chargers for offseason championships.

There's no Manning, no Favre, but I guess you could say Watson is a lot like Big Ben in some ways... |
Give them some respect.
They are 1 of only 2 teams to go to the Superbowl from the AFC the last 5 years. The other is my favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs. |

Honestly hope Burrow comes back 100% healthy. CIN with a healthy Burrow is great competition. Especially in the playoffs where they’ve actually beaten KC. Makes for much better football than watching us club a defenseless MIA club, or beat a seriously flawed BUF team.

You seem to enjoy winning Super Bowls. Would you like to win some more? Then stop pouring cold water on the locker room’s obviously effective motivation tactics. Idiot. |

Go back and try to watch some of those games. Many of them are basically unwatchable. |
Any team in the NFL that doesn't believe that's what they are building a team to do is doing it wrong.

Burrow is the only QB that really strikes fear with me in the rest of the league. Allen is more talented but he is a loser beta.

But I think Burrows fits into that comparison too. Like Allen he can have A games where he is a match for Mahomes, and that’s when we have to be afraid. I agree, Burrows seems to be to be injury prone and also he plays in a far tougher division than we do. And I think buffalo has pretty much blown up their team, so probably aren’t as much of a thread anymore. And I don’t think Cincinnati has done very well in free agency. And we have with Hollywood Brown, assuming Rice isn’t lost for too much of the season. I say that, even though we will miss Sneed, especially when we play Cincinnati and Miami. But either of those teams with those quarterbacks, I think are a much bigger threat to our 3peat then, Baltimore. Jackson just does not have the same A game qualities. And he has repeatedly shown that in the playoffs. |
Talking trash hasn’t got them anywhere but just keep it up. Mahomes is always talking notes.
