That first drive was a clinic and then they come out the next 2 times and put themselves in a hole running the ball. What's happened to creating running holes for Allen an easy pitch and catches? BTW Davis invisible again.

Ughhh. Remember that heartbreaker (dropped pass last minute). Is there anyplace in SoCal to talk any football?

And the flags are flying.😡

I don't search out any other Bills sites. I just need a place to vent because while I know Bills fans, few a maniacal, and will find them here.

No idea why people got upset as hes just a Cincinnati fan who is giving his semi bias opinion as I do about the Bills. They may have been a little bit biased. But what else would you expect?

As said the ticky tack ones or completely away from the playbl are the worst. The illegal contact when the qb rolls right and the call is on the other side of the field.

Any Bills stop on 3rd or 4th down (especially when the play is extended) I expect a flag.

How many easy throws do we see week after week from other teams, with receivers wide open. Swear it is way more then Buffalo. AJ Brown weekly makes highlight reel catches. I can't think one from a Bills receiver this year. When was the last time you saw a Bills receiver win a 50/50 ball or catch one with a defender draped all over him. Oh and let's not forget Dorsey's inability to set up a decent screen or YAC.

Thinking about Sunday vs. Cincy and the worry is will fans be complaining the next day about officials. Every game after every important play or basically any play that is beyond 5 seconds in developing, be it a big gain or 3rd or 4th down stop, I find myself looking for a flag. When there is a sack, is there a roughing the passer call coming or was there defensive holding. An incompletion are they going to call PI or a targeting penalty. If the protection is too good, is there an offensive holding penalty. Any kick or punt return there must be holding too. Yep I expect Sunday at least 2 times Buffalo will appear to make a play and there will be a holding penalty on Chase or similar and I'll be cursing the TV. Can promise you too Mahomes and Kelce will get a few too to prolong drives and the replay will show they ticky-tack at best. I find it more and more ruining my enjoyment of football.

Those are the worst. The refs unfortunately can play a major role if they flag ticky-tack penalties.

And this is why I am hard on McD. It will come down to some stops on D and McD making the right calls at the right time imo. Yep I too am watching alone (or with my son) nothing complicated.

Glad to see all is okay.😁

Caesar's a fan, what's the big deal? Has some good points too. At the end of the day it will be played out on the field. What amazes me is that the Bills & Bengals have played 5.25 quarters in the last 4 years and the Bengals are coming off a very good game against a team that has now lost 3 in a row and the narrative has flipped. Actually I'm feeling better now thinking back to the playoffs and remembering, that yep, I blamed McD and coaching and forgetting just how slick the field was, Isaiah's comments that puts the blame on the game plan, and yep emotionally maybe the Bills were drained. Conversely I have minimal confidence in the Bills Defense, but just a stop or two and a FG, not a TD and I'll then roll the dice with Josh.

That's because SF doesn't want to expose him. He did move the ball regardless and a few bad breaks or could have been more points. Are you going to say the same about Geno Smith (threw for 330 yards too)? Twice in the last 5 minutes they were inside the 10 and could have won the game, but came up empty handed. You can point out that Cincy's D tightened and I can say they were not playing Josh Allen.

Then ignore..... ENough of this holier then thou comments.

He's very good at that.😜

We are all set in our ways. I do think I take other's opinions to heart, just don't agree with them. For instance I have moved on my opinion of McD. I do think he is a good coach and too realize that if the Bills win the Superbowl in the next few years he will almost assuredly be the HC, so damn right I need to cheer for him. Just won't give him the credit😜😉.

And yes you are an interesting read. Don't always agree and you get into the weeds at times, but always something there to chew on.

Interesting comment I read where a poster was admonishing others for whining and griping on the site. Had my pal😜😉 Teef call me out for only posting in the season and disappearing in January (let's hope February this year). Others come here to post and read about goings on around the NFL, signings, FA's, Draft and Coaches. Some are fun topics like pre-game meals, incidents, tailgates, stories about travel or stadium experience...... We have Virgil and Shaw writing up detailed reviews of the game. Thoughtful and insightful, though a little too much pro-McD from Shaw in some cases.😉 BTW Shaw's analysis is incredibly good. BTW where is he????? He hasn't posted since the Jags game. I come here just to discuss the Bills play and the good, bad & ugly. I'm a fan and this is my place to comment or vent and see how if others saw the same things, feel or react. Come Sunday after a bad play I'll see the reaction on the game day board and Monday, maybe I start a Thread or not (and await the few who lurk me to get upset with my post). I've said it many times that Josh Allen makes the team a top Superbowl contender (like Manning, Elway, Brees, Rodgers....) and yes some here are antsy as to when the Bills will get there. So why are you here?

Okay as I am not a football nerd I do laugh when told that the Bills do not stack up well vs. the Bengals. Show me me some data? There is none because they seldom play. Almost like they are in the NFC of late. https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/buffalo-bills/teamvsteam?opp=7 With Josh just coming into his own they played in 2019 and then last year. Talk about recency bias.

Yep it will be on McD. When they win big, he certainly gets a lot of credit from what I see here.

Replying then to the thread...... Don't get lost, get acclimated to the time difference and get some payback for last January.😜

Every Monday night loss has an * imo. Sunday comes down to and you know what I will say...... McD being aggressive on offence and showing us some good schemes on defence. But again only one game and still will be positive about the Bills after.

The defence needs to make way more stops and not allow long drives and big third down conversions. Don't need turnovers if they just flip the field once in a while. The offence conversely needs to be aggressive and Allen ready to run. I however don't come here for practice new updates or fake trades or the Bills 4th round pick in 2024. I come to see what others are talking about the Bills.

I know exactly what you were trying to do. I just found it silly. For the most part the D has given up too many sustained drives and yards and allowed the NYG's to almost win the game and lost the game vs, NE. Yet I still hold out hope for them (the Defense).
