I hear you - I just believe the onside kick puts you in having to stop the Bills on 4 plays rather than 3. McDermott had already showed you he was willing to go for it on your side of the 50 multiple times. I don’t think McD pulls a Reid at his 30 and goes for it. So for the very slim chance you recover - your defense the weak link - would have had to come up with 4 big stop against the run as I think they go into heavy run mode. To me if it had been under 2 minutes or you had 0 timeouts - onside kick 100%, but you had 2 stops of the clock out of 3 potential plays - I want yardage to give me at minimum a Hail Mary to the endzone and potentially multiple shots. I get it - it’s slippery and the ball is hard, but that is also true on the punt return - so potential of a short punt or if the Bengals player catches it on the run of a nice return versus a high punt that the Bills can try to angle out of bounds or let bounce around.

Benford got beat on a play in the Texans game and ol boy saw red (maybe it was those horrendous Texans jerseys that sprung it) and decided to say that we shouldn’t have given Benford an extension in the game thread

Yeah but New England sneaked by us at our place, took care of Atlanta [and we didn't], and then we melted down in Miami. We need to win out and they need to drop I think three games as we have two division losses for us to win the division.

I can't think of anything more festive.

who runs the fbi now?

@Boo Radley Boston we found you 😘

when measuring the stick of these games to the likes of schedules we can see issues like: the 3 uncommon games between NE* and Buffalo: Buf: Texans, Chiefs, Eagles: 22-17 NE*: Titans, Raiders, Giants: 6-33 Of those the Patriots lost to the Steelers and the Giants - their record combined... Patriots losses: 9-17: 34% win rate Bills: 29-23 44% win rate The Bills strength of victory over better teams was also better - but i do not have the numbers in front of me. this was discussed on NFL Radio on sirius. the bills at the time of the the matchup have played tougher opponents with better records. somehow that matters (though, personally i don't think it does as much).

Lol they are 4-9 and we’re STILL supposed to be shaking in our boots.

I once saw one in a Brady jersey and a Manchester United tattoo on their leg. How much of a c**t can one person be?

Well she does need an expert biologist to tell her what a woman is.

Trump is turning our farmers into serfs dependent on government handouts after they come to Washington to bow at his feet. This is so stupid and redistribution of wealth according to Trump.

I wouldn't want to open the playoffs on the road at Cincy

Honest question: are you twelve years old? Or thirteen?

Go back go drinking to warm milk and white zinfandel at your tailgates!!

Great offensive line. Great RB. Great receiving corps. Solid TE. Gee I wonder what the problem could be? 🤔 Actually, the minute the Tush Push started showing … um… cracks… that’s when they fell apart. For all that talent at the non-QB positions, they had this one thing they could do that was their identity. When it stopped working 100% of the time, they didn’t know what to do. Either that or they got cocky and said “oh you think we can only beat you with the Tush Push? Well, watch this.” And we did, and it wasn’t good.

Unlike the first game, expect a much better offensive game plan by the Bills.

Just another nameless, faceless keyboard warrior. How low of self-esteem do you need to anonymously troll another team’s message board? Kinda sad actually.

Shout out to Joe Brady for calling a play action pass on the Bills first offensive play. I guess the intern that frequents these fan boards made a convincing argument for it.

I just finished the game on DVR. That was a painful game if you're an Eagles fan. That offense is mired in a lot of mud. QB is a mess.

The answer is both simple and impossible. There are about 120 FBS teams. Divide them into 8 15 team geographic divisions. The top 2 teams in each division play for a division championship and the 8 champs make the playoffs. Settle it on the field. No committee, no rankings, no BS.

Correct, we’d win based on better conference record, as we’d split all other tiebreakers before that.

One more collapse would be the Texans/Chargers. With the Chargers winning last night, it's the Texans at issue. Assuming the tiebreakers there inure to the Bengals' benefit. And what if Burrow gets hurt in advance of the last game of the season, with the division on the line? I'd rather have Flacco than Browning if I'm them.
