Seems like Chiefs reporters have nothing to do but report on the status of Hollywood Brown a half dozen times per day. We know he's not playing. I'm really not concerned. It isn't "grim news", or "not looking good". We're fine, stop trying to make it more than it is.

The chiefs should take this opportunity to bury the Bengals. Andy needs to keep his foot on the gas this game. Don't go into our vanilla offense like he did against the Ravens. This is a team that needs to be shut up and humiliated for the future psychological edge. Show them exactly how unprepared they are to complete this year.

Looking forward to this matchup.Kingsley was really good in the opening game and let’s hope he can keep it up here. Then we will know for sure our LT problem is solved.

I have a freak WR out there to where I can throw up a 50/50 and have faith that they'll likely make a play? Keep chucking it baby! We'll see though.. Burrow has been checking down and "taking what the defense gives him" (his words after the game last Sunday). If the wrist issue is real and/or he continues to check it down we might not see 50/50 balls. |

Volson has been looking much better his past few games but can still be a liability. Actually, Cappa has been one of the worst for the interior OL (getting bad scores) most recently. Bengals interior O-Line vs Chris Jones is a real big problem (big problem for.most teams actually). Speed rushers should go against OBJ. He has been doing pretty well against strength and bull rushes,,, speed rushers to his sides can give him real issues. |

And the Chiefs, while their parts didn't execute terribly well, were at least complementary. The Bills, OTOH, are redundant as all hell. It's a bad room. Poorly conceived and poorly executed. |

Higgins is a boss at those 50/50 balls, Chase is spectacular out of his cuts and into space for YAC, etc... I said in the other Bengals thread, but Cincy really screwed the pooch here. They had those 2, Burrow and Hendrickson on steal contracts and managed very little. Those are MASSIVE assets on a cap sheet that have essentially amortized out. Now they'll never be in a situation like that again. Maybe they'll find their way through it. But the only real way to do that is to pay a LOT of cash and keep kicking the can for 5-6 years the way Jerrah does in Dallas. And then you hope you draft a Parsons and get some breakout performances from someone like Bland. And so while your QB and WRs cost real money, you've supplemented them and you can survive it. But Mike Brown isn't gonna do that. He's not Jerry. He's going to try to do it on the cheap and things are just going to spiral on them. The '21 loss in the SB and '22 loss in the AFCCG are likely gonna haunt these fellas for a real long time. '22 would be the worst for me because they seemed ready to take the next step after the '21 loss to LA. The injury to Burrow in '23 (probably because of the hammy) was also pretty brutal and is likely to still be impacting them this season. That's a 4 year wide-open championship window and it's extremely unlikely that they'll end up with much in the trophy case to show for it. |

Joe’s new hairdo really highlights his handsome features. And now we learn that he has a limp wrist?! Be still my beating heart.
