Seeking6 Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Just now, BGleas said: Burrows also has more road playoff wins then Patrick Mahomes, granted Mahomes has never played in a road playoff game. Yep. Lots of ways to interpret any stat for sure and I don't know which one is more impressive honestly. The 3 by Burrows already or that Mahomes just hasn't played a road playoff game.

I interpret the stats as home field is important...unless you are Joe Burrows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall a ton of road playoff games for Peyton or Montana, either. Peyton played in a few early in his career, but only one road playoff game after he won the Super Bowl with the Colts. So while that's a really impressive stat for Burrow, it also goes to show just how dominant some QBs were in the regular season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In week 2 he threw for 443 yards and 4 TD's vs Raiders. Granted the Bengals D is better but just food for thought this week. The difference we will see, if there is any, will be on the ground. His scrambling beyond the line of scrimmage may be limited. Either way, I expect it to be a one score game. The injury, if it matters, could turn a 3 point Chiefs win into a 3 point Bengals win. But, the Bengals will not do to the Chiefs what they did to the Bills. Edited January 24, 2023 by 5fouls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm him I trying to figure out a way to keep Mahomes in the pocket....because even with the injury he does his best work on the move. Oh...and put two guys on Kelce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the Bengals will not do to the Chiefs what they did to the Bills. The Bengals' O-line had a dream game v. the Bills. I heard today that the rookie tackle gave up zero sacks, zero hits and 1 pressure in 38 drop backs. That is not going to happen against Frank Clark, Chris Jones, et al. Burrows is going to have a much tougher time than he did against Buffalo. I still think and hope Cincinnati wins, but it's gonna be a dogfight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe the Bengals are gonna win in convincing fashion. I just see Cincy doing the same thing to the Chiefs as they did the Bills. Get up 2 scores early and make KC play the whole game trying to catch up. I base my prediction on 3 things: 1) I think the Bengals defense is better. 2) I think the Bengals running game is better. 3) I don't gamble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 The more I think about it, the more I believe the Eagles are the team to beat for the Super Bowl. They have the best combination of O-Line and D-Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure any other team can say that. I really think that their D-line neutralizes the Eagles’ O-line, Fred Warner plays spy on Hurts and keeps him in check, and the Eagles have trouble scoring. My biggest concern is that Purdy may not be ready for this big of a stage. Could be a low scoring game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly has so many weapons. I agree with your point about how good SF is across the board, but I think Philly is that good across the board too. I go edge Philly because of line play and QB play, but I won’t be shocked either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy that normally has to sit in the middle of the field and spy Mahomes can now bracket Kelce. It makes a difference for sure. If Cincy can generate a pass rush like they did on Buffalo…Mahomes won’t be able to throw the ball downfield or really step into his throws. I expect a lot of short and intermediate routes and hoping for run after catch with KC receivers and backs…Cincy advantage is they are the best tackling team in football. In the end the team that can get off the field on 3rd down and can hold opponent to fgs in the red zone will surely win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said it is impossible to know how things will go. So many variables with injuries and turnovers, a dropped pass, bad call. KC is very good so we will see how things swing. One thing to be aware though is KC is the master of playing from behind. It actually plays right into what they do best…their strength. Buffalo was just beaten up by the end of the year and didn’t have the depth to step in. KC is certainly less dynamic without Hill…so they are not as good on offense this year but much better on defense….they must get pressure on Burrow because their secondary won’t hold up. Clark and Jones need to push the pocket like Miller and Donald did in the SB. Edited January 25, 2023 by dgambill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, Hurts was horrible in the playoffs. Certainly he is a better quarterback this year, but I want to see him handle the pressure before I am convinced that the Eagles are the best team left 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Slay and Bradberry are arguably the best duo of corners in the league. I think all four teams left are elite, won’t be surprised with any of them winning. I wouldn’t really put any in a class above the others at this point. I personally think edge to the Eagles in the NFC and Chiefs in the AFC (pending Mahomes health), but that’s not a comment at all about how good the 9ers and Bengals are. We’ve got four Super Bowl worthy teams left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
