The game went exactly as a lot of other Bengals games went this season. Usually, Ja'Marr Chase makes plays. If you take him away, then Tee Higgins makes plays. IF you cover everything, they still have Gesicki and Iosivas. There is no way to stop all of it when they are rolling, and even if you do everything right, they still make plays. Higgins first TD was an incredible throw and an even more incredible catch that was well defended. Sending all-out blitzes also carries risk because it puts your DBs on islands. That's how that Gesicki TD happened. My point is that the Bengals, when fully healthy, are always going to make plays and score points. But what their offense gives them, their defense takes away. The key to this game was getting a few stops (they punted twice) and scoring when we had the ball. For the most part, the Bills did all that and would have won comfortably if Ty Johnson hadn't tripped and Cook could hold on to the ball.

I think generally (and especially in a tough-footing snow game), our defensive coaching staff tends to send the D out there in a vanilla basic soft scheme to start, and then over the course of the game tweaks and fine tunes things, slowly tightening the clamp, so to speak. But I hear you… why not tighten the clamp from the get?!

What's interesting is that Lamar's cap number for next season is something around 75 million, so the logical thought is that the Ravens are going to obviously restructure and or possibly extend Lamar This is something that has the potential to cripple the Ravens down the line because as you have stated and I also believe...Lamar is very dependent on his physical talent and not so much his anticipation and deciphering coverages/making reads and progressions. Let's also not forget how much Derrick Henry has aided his ascension I don't believe that age/father time will be kind to Lamar, and as he loses his supreme athleticism, he will become much less effective as a player. The Ravens like the Chiefs are probably headed for a decline in the very near future, and I'm here for it

He's a legit badass but he's not a loud or flashy guy so he doesn't get a lot of play around here. But for the last couple months he's been an absolute freaking rock out there. After the Bills lost Oliver he quickly realized how important he was going to be to this team going forward and he's completely taken on a leadership role and been working like a galdanged demon. That position is never going to show up on a stat sheet but he's taken on a huge number of extra snaps and if you watch closely you'll see he's been absolutely playing his heart out and has also been effective while doing it. I think that leadership and heart have been recognized by his teammates and because of it other guys, particularly the youngsters, are raising their games in response. The Bills defense has had some serious issues over the last couple months, but he has not been one of them. And while it hasn't been pretty for the unit as a whole, it would be soooo much worse if not for what that man has been bringing to the table every week. Much respect DaQuan, you are a grown-assed man.

Or maybe it is taking a break for a year

That’s one way to get separation! Wish we had a big body receiver who physically overmatched his assignments.

What about Poyer at Nickel? He still has very good tackling ability & Hanock is better as a coverage Safety.

Not that one. The NSFW one. "Let's not start..."

You have to give McDermott credit. Teams like BAL, KC, and CIN have all had one or more down seasons where they had to miss the playoffs (KC is on their way.) The Bills have had double digit wins since Allen’s 2nd year and never looked back. Even with the rise of the Patriots, the Bills are most likely going to do it again. McD is great at not completely imploding in the regular season, never loses more than 2 in a row either. He’s got a ton of faults, but I just wanted to give credit where it’s due.

I think everyone is happy about the win. But Buffalo fans are very knowledgable about football. We see shortcomings in the coaching schemes that put these narrow wins in jeopardy. If we fans can see problems (first half defense), that could possibly be avoided why can't McDermott? The definition of insanity if doing the same things over and over expecting different results.

Take the highway Lord knows I've been gone too long Lot of sad days One day you'll turn around and I'll be gone

The general caliber of their opponents should increase. Edit: Hoping we take advantage of their RBs’ tendency to put the ball on the ground.

I agree. Is there any reason Taron would not be a good FS?

Teams are active looking for answers against you, especially when you have success. Cook is superb in short spaces finding a crease and it looks like defenses are increasing the effort at going after the ball instead of merely trying to tackle him. To me it is a concern because when we go into the playoffs, the quality of defense we are going to see and like someone said, the volume and critical plays Bills' offense is placed on his shoulders.

I think they only play hard when they’re having fun and they’re only having fun when they’re blowing people out 😂. He’s probably a little banged up but they seem like they have motivation issues too

Burrow had a masterful game other than 2 plays. Reminded me so much of the way Tom Brady used to carve up the drought teams. Accuracy and timing are top tier.

Jackson is playing like crap with no heart, and the coach is a dinosaur. Its not complicated.

Just in time for the start of the new Pats dynasty.

This is absolutely nothing, ball wasn’t going to be caught anyway. The Steelers defender would have been there in plenty of time to knock down the pass

Everyone is a prisoner of the moment when there's an entire month of ball left. The Colts were a juggernaut now they won't win another game.

Got to give Darnell Savage a look now because Johnson and Lewis are really bad. Cant win with them in the playoffs.

Especially without 3 of their 4 biggest investments in the DL in Bosa, Ed and Hoecht.

I hope. I mean I know we're not the only team that does this, but this has been a thjng really since 2019 (Houston playoff game)
