Cut him and Settle they're useless. Rather have Ankou in.

There are a million reasons to pick the Bengals in this game and far fewer to pick Bills. Having said that, this spot as an underdog , and with everyone on Bengals I'm going contrarian. I like the revenge factor and McDermott having them ready after last year. Bills 28 Bengals 24

He's a backup. LOL I couldn't resist!

I broke my tibia (got hit by an old lady driving through parking lot) and I can vouch for the 8-10 week people's opinion. And that was not with professional training staff. Of course this assumes that there is no other damage reported.

They never learn. White on White would have been wiser.

Game will be won in the trenches imo. Bengals whipped our butts last season with backup linemen in, and our offense couldn't run at all 19 for 67. They BTW ran for 172. Anything close to that happens again and forget it. We also played stupid ball and took 8 or 9 penalties to CIN 1 (they also were unpenalized last week at SF late in 4th).

Evidence?????

Bet he won't make the deal because he wants hold on to Elam

That can change in a heartbeat

The new news about Johnson makes me wonder if the Bills are now at a disadvantage towards acquiring him. Rumored that Cowboys and 49ers are interested.

If Beane holds up a deal for Jaylon Johnson because he doesn't want to part with Elam............FFS

You'd hope so. I just hope they don't have boxer's syndrome.

My biggest worry going into this game is confidence of the players and coaching staff. They were abused last year by Bengals.

I like this if the price is right. He's been fine the last couple years in TB for the role he'll play.

I hear the fall back plan is calling Carolina for Donte Jackson and his 157.1 rating allowed and team leading 28.6% missed tackles.

They kicked our asses pretty good last year (including the Hamlin game). We need to have a much, much better performance at the LOS to be competitive. Our OL is better with no Bates and Saffold. On the other hand their offensive line should be better as well with Brown, Cappa and Williams in for backups who were in.

The pressure is surely on McBeane like never before IMO. Unable to make any moves seen by the team as helpful, and you risk losing the team more than you've already done since 13 secs.

It's not like the Bills don't have the ability to win this game

Can they both lose?

Great Post! The only part that is questionable is the excellent at draft analysis, yes to contributions to the forum without the pomposity and arrogance.

No, and I've never heard of a coach doing what you said, they are however giving support to making very safe calls and playing the game much differently than what got them the lead and trying to put the team away. And, what he's especially saying is to punt the ball on 4 and 2 and fourth and 1. It's very obvious they took gas pedal pressure off and were going to coast and play it safe making the other team drive further.

You can become more informed by searching for this weeks interviews with the coach's

Yes they were more diverse and more energetic. Josh especially seemed alive as did the others who were more involved. McD stifled it with his fourth down decisions and allowed TB to stay in the game.

The lack of going for it on fourth downs costing the team last night has been a common and accurate discussion point today. All on McDermott.
