This is a reasonable take with sound logic. I think that offense is worse. They still have a crap OL. They still have some nice targets to throw to. But Joe Mixon of a few years ago > Chase Brown. I don't think we need to focus on the run as much this go around. True. But he's got that really cool spinning throw he made in warm ups.

imagine instead of spaghetti, it’s a footlong hotdog from 7-11 with chili and nacho cheese! Almost better than going to Bills Eagles 😂

I think what makes stat/story compelling within the broader game is the notion that this is no longer the same Bengals team that owned us offensively. Combine with the prevailing thought that our defense is ascending. Historically, even with time to devise a new game plan, we have just not been able to do anything vs Burrow, who from my view is basically the mold of a QB you want vs a McD defense. He will take the 5 yards all day, deliver with accuracy. Rinse and repeat. So while the game certainly won’t be decided on the first drive, if Burrow just carves us up I think that will be rather telling.

Lack of evidence = evidence that we don't like. See also Biden, Joe corruption.

Please explain further.

I would hope that the players are motivated by this saga, they have lost their team mate of three and a half years and his replacement isn’t going to show up! Maybe this situation can galvanize them and not distract them for the upcoming game at Cincinnati and the rest of the season. From an overview type of perspective, the thing that bothers me is the “player X does not want to come and play in Buffalo” is now again in the media cycle. Will this ever change?! As Slay is quoted, “I talked to them,” Slay added. “It was a neutral talk. I just said, “Hey, man. I’m 34. I know ya’ll be watching tape, but I’m trying to relax with my family and kid. I ain’t feel like packing up, moving.’ And then, on top of that - no offense to Buffalo — it’s cold as hell in Buffalo. I’m from the south.”. Yet Philadelphia is fine! https://x.com/jennwilliams23/status/1996267499256774713?s=20 Brandon Beane's latest blunder causes Bills' embarrassing CB screw-up

I was at that game. And I'm absolutely still scarred and have PTSD to this day. Then as the game was wrapping up and I'm sitting there with snow accumulating on me, there were thousands of Bengals fans in the lower bowl whooping it up. What a sad sight.

172 yards on the ground was cincys 2nd highest total of the year. Buffalo also had more penalties and lost in time of possession by about 8 minutes. Fact is dorsey was gone midway through the next season because he would fall into bad pass heavy habits. Frazier was literally fired for this game plan. As for their defense bottling up buffalo - Reader gone Bates gone Pratt gone Wilson gone Hilton gone Hubbard gone Hendrickson out Hasn't been that long but teams change pretty quickly in the NFL.

One of the Buffalo radio stations started playing all Christmas on Black Friday. That's a bit much for me, but playing more and more Christmas music is fine with me as we get closer to the holiday. I have a large collection of Christmas music on CDs as well several playlists on Amazon Music, from classical to country to bluegrass to novelties like the original Chipmunks "Christmas Don't Be Late" to "I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas" to "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer".

He's played the Bills exactly twice (excluding the Damar game)

That son of a *****

I remember that. It was the last time the Bengals made the playoffs. Anything might happen this weekend, but it will have nothing to do with what happened a few years ago. I’m not seeking gloom and doom, I’ll just wait and watch the game.

The Bills would owe Darius Slay approximately $350,000 for 2 months work. I wouldn't go either.

I mean I am sure he discussed it with McDermott but making moves on the waiver wire is 100% Brandon Beane's role and not Sean McDermott's. The only 34 year olds that ever help you "go for it" are vet QBs. No other 34 year old is a reasonable all in move.

It’s not a prediction post, the Bengals are certainly different. I don’t think the Bengals offense is materially worse and despite a week to prepare for all three games, we couldn’t force an incomplete pass. So yes, it will be interesting to see how the first drive goes from my perspective.

Considering they only shoot off fireworks when we score, I hope you are correct.

Yes. i often asked why Elam was on the roster because he sucked and was never active. Turns out he really sucks and is borderline out of the league. The answer is that Beano thought Elam and Ingram were NOT worthless players, otherwise they would have been dumped long ago. He was clearly wrong on Elam.

I like this to infinite. They are the ultimate bandwagon fans and are so annoying to listen to. Like you said, zero Patriot talk for the last 4-5 years, now they are experts on the Diggs and Cardy B. relationship. Ask them about their last playoff game and how that went and they will say "Brady was awesome".

Who?😂

Hopefully that works. I just have a feeling it’ll be a lot of fireworks on Sunday

This is kind of silly isn't it. Last game was over two years ago at Cincinnati. Game was 21-7 at halftime. Bengals scored three points in second half in 24-18 win. Really different teams now. People are scarred from the 2022 playoff game (in January 2023) at home. Bills were emotionally spent after all the weather issues that year and, of course, what happened to Hamlin. And after the game Burrow was smoking cigars and acting like an a-hole, so the PTSD is understandable. Hopefully players that were on the team then remember. But this Bengals defense is a shadow of what it was two years ago, and none of this is predictive of what will happen Sunday IMO. But I could be wrong. 😎

Assuming we don't win the division, getting the 5th seed, e.g., and playing WC game in Pittsburgh would be an ideal scenario. Would set us up to possibly have a home game too. Basically, beat the Bengals and root for the Steelers for the rest of the season!

Good god, what a whiny thread. Please get us to Sunday quickly.
