AMPHAR Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 Saw this on another board. Interesting discussion and maybe offer a trip down memory lane. But, IMO, Yes yesterday was the greatest game/win in franchise history. In recent playoff games with Mahomes and Chiefs: 1. Texans had them down....Chiefs won. 2. Titans had them down...Chiefs won 3. Browns played them tough and even got a back up in the game...Chiefs won 4. Bills had a 3 point lead with 13 seconds left...Chiefs won All at arrowhead. Amazing effort by this team to slay the dragon in Arrowhead. Quote
membengal Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 I will second. Greatest game in franchise history to this date. Quote
GapControl Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 There’s really only two other games to compare and both of those were the AFC championship game, too. I remember the Bills were talented in 88 and I think most were picking them. Lot of parallels there to the KC team with Mahomes and the K-gun offense and their 4 super bowl run forthcoming. Obviously the super bowls in 82 and 89 were great games but Montana got us in the end on those. https://www.wlwt.com/amp/article/cincinnati-1989-1988-afc-championship-bengals-bills/38888568 1 Quote
GapControl Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 The bills had the Blizzard Defense back then. Bruce Smith being the avalanche… https://amp.cincinnati.com/amp/9217637002 Quote
HoosierCat Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 Easily the greatest game in the past 33 years. Greatest game in franchise history comes in two weeks! 2 Quote
ArmyBengal Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 I've seen or watched a lot of what I would consider great games dating back to the 70's. However, when considering what was on the line, who and where they were playing, and the fact it went into overtime, it's hard to argue about this one. Many more great games with this much on the line and my heart will probably fail. I seriously thought I was going to vomit and pass out simultaneously when Bell picked off the pass in overtime. Quote
Stripes Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 I think these win probability measures are mathematical/statistical junk, but it's still fun to look at. Quote
jonf45uk Posted February 2, 2022 Report Posted February 2, 2022 I said in the gameday thread at half time that, due to the way the chiefs were moving the ball so easily and our own struggles moving it, if we found a way to win the game it would be the greatest comeback in our history. I still stand by that Quote
101Airborne Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 This was the best Bengals game I've ever seen, to be sure. Hopefully it is supplanted on Sunday! Quote
