Tackling could have been better at times, but we did play way too soft in the first half. Burrow is a great talent, you have to get him off his spot and affect his throws, at least in third and long. We didn't in the first half.

If it weren't for CB and JP, would we all be pitchforks and torches for playing our DBs beyond 1st down markers?....allowing easy first downs while guarding against "the big play"? I'm surprised the neighbors didn't call the cops on me going full out Clark Griswold during the 1st half.

Domestic terrorist.

The point is....everyone knows, and most importantly teams know, every year it gets tougher as you win or keep winning. My point is they will be prepared to take on whatever is thrown at them like most teams do. And about this week's game of course both teams can win. It's hard to swept a team in your division especially a good team. As perfect as Josh Allen played yesterday it came down to needing two major defensive plays to win because cincy controlled that game all the way through.

I think the Bills will win. 34-28. But, I don't think vegas intent/thinking is that the Bills will win. They are trying to get people to bet on NE. A few years ago, vegas made SF three points favorites over KC in the SB. Nobody in their right mind though SF had any business being favored to in the game. It was Vegas trying to get bets in on KC. This is a 50/50 game. There really is not much separating these teams.

No. There are other avenues other than that. If we win out, I believe they merely need to lose to either the Jets or Phins.

I think this is wrong. If the Pats*** beat Baltimore they would still own the tiebreaker over the Bills even if they lose to the Jets or Fish.

Give Joe Burrow some credit. He made some amazing throws when we had receivers covered. You can't not defend a perfectly placed pass. As for playing soft, we could have had a couple of 3rd down stops if we made a tackle. Not tackling isn't a scheme issue. Two things: Burrow was nearly perfect on his throws, even when receivers were covered. And we missed tackles on some third downs.

I'll put it this way - I'm a poker player. You quickly learn the difference between something that has a 0% chance of happening and something that has a 2% chance of happening.

Tuesday is usually MNF, Wednesday is pry the day

As you say, they torched us. Sitting there in zone giving cushions when we had SEVEN third down opportunities to get a stop in the first half was absolutely maddening. Many of those were third and 5 or more - something Benford mentioned post-game. Have to take some shots on third and long. ESPECIALLY in slippery conditions, because those in the soft zone can't drive on the ball as fast. If we got off the field on a couple of those we might not have needed all the heroics in the second half. And IMHO, matching Benford on Chase the whole day was a mistake. Tee Higgins was too big and physical for Tre and Hairston - should have put Hairston on Chase and given him help. Great win, but I IMHO D scheme in the first half made it harder than it had to be.

Question is would the Broncos intentionally rest starters in order to keep KC out. I think they would. But only if they have a certain seed secured. As someone said before, the Chargers can not be trusted. Them losing three of these next four is a definite possibility.

That Bengals team when they have Chase, Higgins, and Burrow is the best offense in the NFL. True their defense is awful but im not gonna roast a Bills defense team for struggling against this Bengals offense when they were missing Bernard, Bosa, and ed Oliver. All players will have back in the playoffs. Bills are a MASH unit every week on defense. Maybe it will continue to be so. If the Bills do get healthy on defense though....

Yeah, sorry, that's just flat out wrong. Neither turnover was a turnover. An unforced error. A mistake by a Bengal. Both plays were TAKE AWAYS. on both occasions the Bills defender may a play on the ball and forced the mistake. This was done by....ready for it....GOOD PLAY. There was no "luck" in it. They won the down with solid fundamentals and took the ball away. But keep making more excuses to down play the victory.

I agree. I know more macho fans will say it's a weak attitude caused by them beating us so often in the playoffs, and I guess they'd be right. The Chiefs are not dead until they're mathematically eliminated, until that happens they're still very much a threat to every team in the AFC.

Some are. Some need to develop better coping skills

Josh looked different yesterday. He was awesome per usual, but he looked pissed off. I think he is about to go on an all time run that will be talked about here for generations

I agree with the poster. Borrow spent the entire 1st half completly comfortable in the pocket, even Mitch Trubisky can find an open receiver. McD must have been listening to 97 rock on those head phones

I recall this was a problem his first year. He is moving back to his old tendency.

It was pick your poison, blitz & get torched or don't & die slow. They tried to situationally blitz to make a play. It worked to get a sack & pick 6. Good players make good coaches (see Texans front 4). McD is doing the best w/ what he has.
