Are the Bengals a better team than the Chiefs?

I think they are.

Based on actual FACTS, not just win/loss records.

The Bengals are 6-2

The Chiefs are 8-0

But who beat the better teams to get where they are? The Bengals, without a doubt.

What do all 8 of the teams the Chiefs have beaten have in common? None of them have a winning record, and the combined record of all those teams is 20-41. In contrast, the Bengals have beaten 4 teams that are either the division leader or in second place (Packers, Patriots, Lions, Jets). The combined record of the teams the Bengals have played so far is 32-29.

It's really easy to go unbeaten with a great defense when you've played nothing but bad teams with awful offenses so far.

You know what they say. In order to BE the best, you have to BEAT the best.

The Bengals have beaten the Packers, Patriots, and Lions so far. All teams that are first or second in their division with winning records. All 3 of which will most likely be in the playoffs this year.

The Chiefs have beaten....how many playoff contenders this year? One? And that's only because the NFC East is really weak and the Cowboys are leading it at 4-4.

The Bengals have already proven this season that they can beat good teams. The Chiefs haven't even played any good teams yet. Their "top ranked" defense gets to start seeing some top ranked offenses in the second half of the year. I'm betting they won't stay "top ranked" for long.

I don't actually have anything against the Chiefs personally, but it's really annoying how their fans are taking their 8-0 start and talking about how no one can beat them. The reality is they just haven't played any teams that don't suck yet.

If the Chiefs start beating good teams, maybe THEN their fans can start getting cocky. Acting like they're the best team now is like a 2rd grader being proud of beating up kindergarteners.

Agree or disagree?
