I enjoy how their owner is like "We know he sucks and that he is wildly unpopular with the fans, but we're paying him a lot of money and, by God, he's going to work for it!"

Great breakdown. I know folks like @HappyDays and @BADOLBILZ are quick to blame Gabe Davis, but man, on that INT vs Pitt, it was just a terrible read by Allen. Davis did nothing wrong. And I think it’s a bit rich to blame Davis to drop a 90 mph 7-yard pass in a fog-of-war scrum vs Tampa. Not one NFL receiver is catching that, and the blame for him not keeping his feet in bounds vs an elite boundary corner in Stingley, who had established sideline control on that play, seems way off too. That struck me as a no-chance play regardless of the receiver given how good the coverage was.

Bernard is not a bad player, but Shaq is the player this defense needs right now in this moment. If we are going to be successful the remainder of this year, the defense will need to continue the type of play we saw this past weekend. That defensive performance was led by Shaq Thompson.

Take that automatic win off of your calendar.

Simplex or complex? 🫢

And in terms of development, how lucky is Maxwell Hairston? In his rookie year he gets to practice with and learn from Darius Slay, Tre White, and Christian Benford. If he keeps his eyes and ears open, he’s going to really have a chance to be something else for us.

Bengals: 31 Bills: 27

Bills: 34 Bengals: 30

Please do it.

Who cares. Most of Josh’s picks are on third and forth down when he know he gotta force something. Josh wants to move the chains, that’s his mentality. Brady lining 4 WRs up short of the chains was brutal. DBs were all over it

I see a score similar to the rams game last year. Bills- 42 Bengals-44

This seems a good plan. The devil is in the details tho. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-retirement-program-australia-trust-11144894

lmao

The Bengals playoff hopes don’t even hinge on winning @Buffalo . They must beat the Ravens in 2 weeks. If they lose there, they’re effectively finished.

President Trump pardoned the narco kingpin. That's defending narco people, right?

I think Shaq is definitely reading schemes and being more decisive than Bernard. That sad, Bernard has caught a lot of sheet from fans for poor play when in reality there has been a revolving door of defensive lineman in front of him. The biggest issue I see when looking it the bills run defense is how teams effect our alignment and numbers presnap with motions and shifts, which often leads to bad fits or players coming from places that make it very difficult to play gap sound. This could be something Shaq is good at (handling these shifts) or just coaching. Bernard is very vocal too. His visible frustrations referenced in the video are usually on pass plays, not necessarily on run downs. Another factor here is that the recent Shaq play is likely coming under a closer watch from McDermott on D - whereas the beginning of the year was being constructed from Babich and often felt messy. I’d like to see Shaq stay at MLB and try Bernard at the Will. I think this would be a good game to try it, as I don’t think they’ll be using a bunch of 4-3 front against the Bengals (if he’s healthy). I think he fits better in regards to playing the weak side of the run game: he’s definitely a better clean up player than disruptor. Whether this week or next, I think it could be a good litmus test to see if a permanent move could be beneficial. That said, Bernard got paid and will be here. I hope they find a way to maximize his skill set. He is no bum and can be very effective. He does it a bit differently than Shaq (speed vs power), and I get that people want to be better on the run but a LOT of our issues with the ground game are because of the revolving door at DT and the poor tackling from the secondary. This clip encapsulates Bernard in his strengths and weaknesses. He’s decisive, downhill with appropriate leverage, gets across the face of the pulling center and is first in on the tackle for a minimal gain. Would you like to see him be more stout and not displaced? Of course. Does Shaq have the speed to beat the OL to edge? Idk. At the end of the day it isn’t pretty, job well done. Bernard will likely be back in the lineup at MLB sooner than later, because it gives them the ability to have Shaq at the Sam in 4-3 and McDermott and company loves Bernard’s pass coverage.

Shaq needs to stay on the field no matter what.

280 days later, @Big Blitz - and nothing. Embarrassing.
