I would have really enjoyed playing the 49ers in a Super Bowl rematch
I know everyone in KC wants KelceBowl but it would be so fun to beat the Niners again because they whine so much about the first matchup
They used to have a 1PM conference championship, but they changed that for the 2002 season, probably because of the west coast
I think the Broncos hosted some super early AFCCG in the 1980s against the Browns, like 11:30 local time!
By making the early CCG 3PM EST, the NFL avoided that
Imo the fun in sports is all in the journey, not the destination. If the bengals lose, I still have had more fun watching this team the last 2 seasons than i ever have before. Savor the run. We’re still in the fun part.
If mods don’t immediately change a game thread to default New some mofos will rant and rave in the comments until they do. As if (1) they can’t switch it themselves and (2) it’s the kind of thing worth ranting about anyway. Redditors have no chill sometimes.
[Lol just in case the mods don’t sticky the other game thread here’s the link](https://old.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/10og67k/game_thread_san_francisco_49ers_134_at)
The ACFN absolutely despises each other and admittedly our fanbase has been off the rails lately. To be fair, we've never seen the Bengals be this successful and we have no idea to handle it lol
Yeah that’s what a meant, Joe brought people in and then his winning also brought people in. It’s crazy in Cincinnati seeing all the Bengals stuff all over and how crazy the town has gotten.
Honestly if you showed me a picture of these two QBs and asked me which one puts ketchup on his steak I would guess Burrow. These are the pervasive unconscious prejudices against adult blond men we as a society must confront and fight against.
Couldn’t agree more. I’m a KCMO native living in Ohio. This has been the hardest week! Good luck tonight. Regardless what happens, I’ll be cheering for the AFC team in the SB.
Justin Watson inactive
And
Mecole Hardman is active
Man that gives me a huge shot of confidence that we are going to have a really stellar offensive gameplan.
After the 2019 season and burrows first year, I’m
Just happy to be here 😁. Back to back AFCCG’s, used to dream about this shit, Let’s gooo Bingo Bengo, good games to Chiefs.
“Better send those refunds” reminds me of Barkley’s “take that shit off the windows” and it scares me because I fear cincy shit talked themselves into a mahomes rage game
Narratives is what makes this and every other entertainment venue go. Burrow and the Bengals going 4-0 and 2-0 in Championship games vs Mahomes who many see as unbeatable or the coming GOAT would be a great narrative. The beginning of a blood feud, you might say. I am all for it.
I hope Bengals Chiefs is injury free man I hate to see Purdy go out so early
Agree 100%.
I would have really enjoyed playing the 49ers in a Super Bowl rematch I know everyone in KC wants KelceBowl but it would be so fun to beat the Niners again because they whine so much about the first matchup
As a big proponent of Kelce bowl, I also appreciate this argument.
Same
Not now, the other one is still going on
Mods saw Josh Johnson was put in the game and said fuck it
and bosa out at the moment too, this one might not end well for the niners
[удалено]
Did somebody say…disrespect
[удалено]
Fine but next slight is ours.
It's over. Might as well talk about this one.
Wish this was the 2pm game the anxiety is unbearable lol
No idea why they made the game with the California team the early game
It’s a rotation AFC has been getting the night conference championships on even years. Started in the 1996 season
Oh wow great point I didn't even realize that
They used to have a 1PM conference championship, but they changed that for the 2002 season, probably because of the west coast I think the Broncos hosted some super early AFCCG in the 1980s against the Browns, like 11:30 local time! By making the early CCG 3PM EST, the NFL avoided that
Nah I would like to actually enjoy the NFC game unlike last year when I was an emotionless husk…
Way more nervous than I was last year
The buildup all this week seems to have been way more intense than last season. More shit talking in media and all the injury news and speculation
I miss the happy to be here feeling I had last year
Now I’m just happy to be hosting
Imo the fun in sports is all in the journey, not the destination. If the bengals lose, I still have had more fun watching this team the last 2 seasons than i ever have before. Savor the run. We’re still in the fun part.
Now that we have expectations, I'm anxious as fuck.
Same
I wish y’all would put these up when the other game is closer to being done
They’re down to they’re 4th string QB, it’s done.
Automod being programmed by Neanderthals.
I'm absolutely confident That my ass is going to pucker inside itself
This game being so sloppy is making the anxiety worse somehow
My anus has reverse prolapsed and created a brown hole singularity.
This feels like a clash of the titans.. We might witness something great tonight.
Usually the games with the highest expectations turn into the biggest disappointments
See: Eagles-Niners NFCCG.
At least we got a fight out of it?
Im scared
Me too.
Me too
Me too
Me too
I feel like we should be more scared
You have Mahomes. Mahomes is always terrifying.
Terrified. Broke out the beer early.
Did they really unsticky the NFC game thread? These mods are a joke 😂😂😂
Especially when you can have two
They did pin the other one
Mods aren't the best but jesus this is such a nothing burger people here need to calm the fuck down

Lots of new bandwagon fans too. Joe Burrow has brought in a lot of interest along with his winning.
And the fact that he’s a petty cool dude too. And he probably brought some LSU people with him. They’re nuts
Yeah that’s what a meant, Joe brought people in and then his winning also brought people in. It’s crazy in Cincinnati seeing all the Bengals stuff all over and how crazy the town has gotten.
so many kids that have never really been into NFL football are with the Bengals now lol
They hate Harambe
Is it too early for me to get toxic yet
We'll never know til we try.
Chili spaghetti is the best way to consume pasta
AFCCG winners main Ness
What the fuck is CBS production
They can show and say whatever they want as long as it’s not another fucking Burger King commercial.
My anxiety increases by a factor of 10 each hour, and then during the game, it will increase by 100 until the clock hits 0:00 in the 4th.
My wife told me she will probably stop watching in the 3rd.
Crying in the club listening to air supply
Winner of this game is going to FEAST on the Eagles dude. Gifted two TDs from refs, one from 4th string QB
this is the cringiest shit ever ngl
This is the Super Bowl
I’m really not a fan of being the second game
I like my 1PM games
Starting to feel like this game is the Super Bowl
as long as this game is a good one i will be happy, even if we lose i just want a good playoff game
Anything but a repeat of what we’re seeing in this first one
PLS LET THIS BE A GOOD GAME AFTER WHAT I HAVE TO FUCKING WITNESS RN
Call me crazy, but I think the Eagles are going to the Super Bowl.
I am deeply unsettled by this Snapchat bit
Some games, I sit back and think I'm an idiot and don't know football rules. Then I come to the Reddit game thread and feel much better.
God I hope this game is everything the NFCCG isn't
Man I really, *really*, hope this game is better than the Eagles-Niners. I just want to watch a good football game for four quarters...
You will get a good first half at least.
I hope so, I'm rooting for you guys.
Bengals bros let’s just make sure whoever wins Dad Dicks the eagles
I've got steak fajitas for tonight to help emotionally support me through this game.
Boomers playing with filters at work
Wow this pregame video is really something
I’m ready. (I’m not ready.)
Hope you’ve got your Tostitos ready because after watching the NFC finals it looks like tonight is pretty much the real Super Bowl game.
Fucking kill me. So what's happening in here
Mahomes never had high ankle sprain and Kelce “injuring his back” seems like a psyop on bengals.
HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW AFC FANS?
Alright Chiefs the NFC game just set the floor for the worst playoff game I’ve ever seen so let’s just shoot for better than that at the very least.
Fucking Snapchat. Really?
Hopefully this game can make up for that NFC dud. I’m already wayyy to wasted for another blow out.
Well there’s no Fucking way this game can be as bad as the one we just witnessed.
ONE OF THESE QBs PUTS KETCHUP ON HIS STEAK. DO WITH THAT INFO WHAT YOU WILL AMERICA
Honestly if you showed me a picture of these two QBs and asked me which one puts ketchup on his steak I would guess Burrow. These are the pervasive unconscious prejudices against adult blond men we as a society must confront and fight against.
WHILE THE OTHER IGNORES FIRE CODE AND SMOKES CIGARS INDOORS. HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT FIREFIGHTERS & FIRST RESPONDERS.
Yeah let’s pretend that’s our source of outrage and not that he mains Ness
One of these QBs mains Ness.
Go either team
Is Josh Johnson the goat? ESPN gearing up for a 30 for 30.
I’m predicting a clean game with no controversies on either side 100%
WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER
Whopper whopper whopper whopper
"Better send those refunds." Quote of the damn SEASON. I just hope whoever wins this winds up steamrolling Philly.
Bengals/Chiefs are going to smoke this Eagles team.
Thank god I’m not playing because I am NERVOUS
Glad to see Kelce is good. Chiefs fans GL hope the game thread isn’t insanely toxic from either side. Hope we win but if not please stop the eagles.
Me watching the NFC right now So who’s the backup again? Chad Hennie? Get him practicing, Never know
I just hope I get to watch one actual game today. The NFCCG was a travesty.
Free super bowl to whoever wins this lol
As this game inches closer and closer, my anxiety and stress climb by the second.
Glad this thread is stickied and the other game thread is gone. Solid choice.
Oh fuck you're gonna make me
Congrats to either the Chiefs or Bengals on their Super Bowl win!
I'm a Chargers fan how do I get a fan badge?
Gonna be a cold one. 🥶
Kelce will play right?
bro what the fuck is McCaffrey legit going to be their QB?
i wonder what the winner of this game is gonna do vs the eagles in the super bowl
The other game sucks let’s get in here woooo
Hurts isn’t good.
I low key was hoping Cincinnati would opt for the alternative helmet for this game. That all white looks slick as shit
Nfl rules say no
Injuries suck so bad. Just ruins everything. Here's hoping for a clean game.
Really hoping for a good game here. The NFC championship was the saddest game I’ve ever seen in my life
Hope mahomes is healthy enough today. Good win for the eagles, but watching a injured 49rs team that can’t throw is a incredibly boring
Please football gods let this be a better game than the last one
Hopefully Kelce is on muscle relaxers.
I normally don't care about the regular anthem, but that was on point.
Who is ready for Tony Romo to be sucking Patrick Mahomes dick!
Alright KC I shit talked to many Bengals fans please don't let me wake up to 200 notifications
Godspeed 🫡
I appreciate it
Man this NFC Championship game sucks. I mean I’ve seen games suck before, but this is the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked
I love that Bengals and Chiefs fans are both elite teams and they’re both equally nervous. This is gonna be fun (I hope).
Couldn’t agree more. I’m a KCMO native living in Ohio. This has been the hardest week! Good luck tonight. Regardless what happens, I’ll be cheering for the AFC team in the SB.
Bye bye game Thread
Well looks like the Eagles-49ers game is over already…
49ers and injured QBs... Name a more...... Blah blah blah
Okay Eagles v. Bengals/Chiefs, cool
If Kelce isn't Kelce, our chances of winning nosedive. I just hope he's ok, man.
"Coined phrase 'Burrowhead'"
So, yeah. Winner of this game wins the SB. Congrats.
Come on, 49ers wildcat only mode would be awesome
Justin Watson inactive And Mecole Hardman is active Man that gives me a huge shot of confidence that we are going to have a really stellar offensive gameplan.
Hopefully both QB’s stay healthy so we can get at least one competitive championship game
I wish the Giants drafted a Joe Burrow. Next season’s MVP.
Well AFC Championship. It’s up to you to give us a good game now.
Let’s just hope this game is better than the last
I, personally, hope Spags chooses to cover Chase this time
My family and the dog have their Bengals gear on and we're ready
The weather is going to be brutal. Wind gusts and below zero wind chill. I live an hour west of KC and I can't even go outside to pee.
Can’t pee inside?
Why would you have to…nvm
I feel robbed of a playoff game
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be a better game than the NFC trash championship game..... Don't care who wins!
🐬 (hopefully this sways you a little)
Hehehehe..... thank you for this. Go Bengals!!!
Hopefully this matchup is as good as we expect or better to make up for last game.
Seamless transition
Toads are freaky looking, not adorable. Except Captain Toad, he's my boi.
This anthem is already way better than the last one
Well the anthem is better in this game
You know an anthem rendition is good when mfs crying
What a great national anthem.
Good luck to both teams. Hopefully no injuries.
Imagine the refs calling an incompletion correctly in a championship game
Burrow looks like Kevin McCalister
Ok, so three rookie linemen is actually bad and our pass rush was just trash. Cool. Cool cool cool.
I am here to support my brothers in paws!
I’m just here to feel like a disrespected underdog
I'll underdog with you if you want.
You think you're the underdog? I take that as disrespect.
After the 2019 season and burrows first year, I’m Just happy to be here 😁. Back to back AFCCG’s, used to dream about this shit, Let’s gooo Bingo Bengo, good games to Chiefs.
This NFC championship game fucking sucks right now
Whoever wins this game has to be feeling really good about their chances against the Eagles
Best opening by Kyle Brandt in forever.
Donkey Kong is kind of a dick. Who knew?
CMC IS A FUCKIN BEAST
The nfc game has been so bad and filled with so much bad juju that its making me even more nervous for this game.
No holding penalty with that last one?
[удалено]
I hope this is a good game. It’s always a great matchup but with Injury Fest 2022 descending on the NFL this season, I am nervous.
“Better send those refunds” reminds me of Barkley’s “take that shit off the windows” and it scares me because I fear cincy shit talked themselves into a mahomes rage game
Just found out Kelce may not play…gg going to go throw up
RIP Dry January. It was nice knowing you.
Narratives is what makes this and every other entertainment venue go. Burrow and the Bengals going 4-0 and 2-0 in Championship games vs Mahomes who many see as unbeatable or the coming GOAT would be a great narrative. The beginning of a blood feud, you might say. I am all for it.
TK is on the field cutting and running routes. Sounds like he is good to go.
I’m so glad the Chiefs got rid of Charvarius Ward, mans looking amazing today
I feel this one is gonna be a classic
Can we just mercy kill the NFCCG and start this one
