Higgins is concussed..... He better not play another snap. He's fresh off one and his head bounced like a basketball off a rock hard surface. He should be done.

I don't know....I can't with this guy anymore.

Freaking zone on 3rd down again!!!!!! McDermott is a clown.

Come on McDermott...... It's snowing and the field is slick. Get your DBs up on the line and jam the WRs. Don't give them free releases!!!!

Over/Under on the amount of plays it takes the Bengals to score on this drive? I'll set the line at 7

Josh Allen is a 1 man team out there........

7 seconds to throw and no WR can get open.....even in the snow.....

What's worse than Keon Coleman's bad footwork? Keon Coleman's bad footwork in the snow.......

If nothing else, Brandon Beane will be forced to sit here and watch an entire game of elite WRs destroying all his high draft pick defensive guys. Maybe he will have an realization that drafting weapons and destroying teams offensively is a better way to go when you have a star QB.

Nice push off

Slip cost us 4 points....... Pretty sad when we're the ones that are supposed to have the home field advantage and we're the ones slipping everywhere. Defense going to be torched again.

Whelp.....that's a TD lost.....

Whelp.... we did everything the opposite of what I was asking to do all week and they walked right down the field. McDermott will never learn. I've seen enough of Tre White in this game. He can stay on the bench. Ready for our inevitable 3 and out here......

McDermott's soft defense strikes again. Dude will never change......

Get used to it..... We have no active pass rushers.

Get Tre off the field now..... He's not up to this.......

Bad tackling again

Higgins on White is a problem..... Said it all week.... Benford on Higgins and Hairston on Chase with help over the top is the best hope we have. Tre is a liability in this game.

FIND A WAY....... GO BILLS!!!!

Finding a way to win and keeping Kincaid healthy (along with everyone else for that matter) are the only things that matter today. Style points don't mean a thing at this time of the year, especially when you don't have a Playoff spot clinched. JUST FIND A WAY TO WIN!

Alright.....moneyline bet has been placed on the Bengals! I've done my part to make sure the Bills win! Going to be an interesting game today. This is one of those games that it's so hard to get a read on as to how it is going to play out. I could see just about every scenario. Close win, close loss, blowout loss....... The only one I can't picture is a blowout win. Our offense just isn't built for that this year. I don't know what to think.... A lot of people out there are saying it's Burrow vs Allen. I get it, it's the easy thing to do when there are 2 star QBs are playing in the same game. My problem is that it's a little unfair when you look at the weapons each guys has. I mean, Burrow has Chase, Higgins, and Brown. Allen has......Cook. It's not a fair fight. I think it has to go a lot deeper than the QBs. Both defenses have shown to be not very good this year, but with a lack of weapons, the Bills offense has much less of a chance of being explosive. If this turns into a high scoring game, the Bills will struggle to keep up. That is an awful thing to have to say when your QB is Josh Allen, but that's where we are this year with the lack of explosive weapons on offense in the passing game. If we are to win this game, it will have to be because of an outstanding effort by our defense and possibly getting some timely turnovers. Normally I am on the side that INTs really don't matter too much when you have a great QB, but in a game like this, if you get them at the right time..... critical 3rd down, in the red zone, something like that, they could be game changing plays. I also think this is a game where you have to unleash Josh Allen. I am not saying he has to throw the ball 40 times, but I want to at least see some attempts down the field whether they are completed or not. You have to back off the safeties and get them out of the box. But rather, I think this is a game you have to tell Allen not to hesitate to take off. Call some QB runs at times too. The field may be a bit slick, so getting Allen out of the pocket and on the run could create big plays with his feet if a defender slips. On defense, I said it in a different thread, but I expect to see more man coverage today than usual. Burrow has eaten up McDermott's soft zone every game he has played against us. And with no real pass rushers active today, you will have to get creative up front and hope that the back end holds up. While I expect the Bills to use Benford to shadow Chase, that wouldn't be my plan. I want to see Hairston out there against Chase (until he proves he can't do it) and then use Benford's size to match up on Higgins. Then, use your safeties over the top. So yeah.....a lot of 2 high man. Again, I'm not expecting the Bills to do that, it's just what I would do. I fully expect Benford to be on Chase most of the day and White to be up against Higgins (and although Tre had a nice game last week, I hate this matchup for him no matter who he is trying to cover). Then, up front, we're going to have to do the best we can do. We won't get home with 4, and probably won't with 5 either, but it is what it is. We have to hope that we can stop the run and at least force Burrow off his spot. Whie he's back playing, Burrow is not healthy. He can't move all that well. So, even if we can't sack him, if we can get him having o throw o the move, hopefully that will reduce some of his normal accuracy. But yeah.....the QB matchup is sexy, but this game will most likely fall on the Bills defense and how much they can slow down the Bengals offense. The goal should be to hold them to 20 or less. If we can do that, I think we can win this game. If they do what they normally do to McDermott's defense? It's going to be a really long and frustrating afternoon.

Yeah.....we need him desperately, but we need him more for the Playoffs. The problem is, we have a long way to go to clinch a Playoff spot so we need him now too. But he isn't healthy and you risk putting him out long term if you rush him back. There are no right answers here, I'm afraid. Just an awful year for injuries. It's just not injuries, but it's bad injuries to many of our key players. Frustrating.

Hopefully Fox is a prime Bruce Smith in disguise..... Honestly, no expectations for either player. We know what Spector is and there's a reason Fox was on the couch a few weeks ago. But hey..... we need bodies. Hopefully they can provide something of substance while they are out there.

Look.....we're a bit of a laughing stock right now with what Beane is doing, but Beane brought all of this on himself and he's scrambling to try and salvage this season. I give him credit for 1 thing.....he's taking swings at trying to improve even if it is the bottom of the roster. I mean, let's face it, we're hanging a lot of our hopes at safety on Jordan Poyer, someone who is on his last legs. They must not think Hancock is ready to take over that spot if needed, so finding more vet depth isn't a bad thing. Heck, call up Gilmore and see what shape he's in and bring him in for the run. Can never have too much depth in the secondary. All that said, we need teams to start releasing pass rushers for us to claim. The fact we are praising God that AJ Epenesa can play Sunday shows just how desperate we are. Saying this half joking, but can Von ask for his release? We are just nowhere when it come to being able to rush the passer.

I'll be joining you on this bet..... Yup.....final stat line for the TE position..... 1 catch for 6 yards.
