Bengals will be the team to beat for years to come
Billsfan1972 replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall
And Joe cool threw 2 ints and had the ball with 2 minutes to go to win the game and did not..... -
No revisionist history. Did the Bills have injuries? Yes. Were the Bills the favourite to win the Superbowl the entire year? I'm tired after the fact everyone coming out of the woodwork telling "us" that the Bills "Don't match up well" or forgetting Cincy was missing 3 people on the OL vs. Buffalo. A lot of things went wrong (and weather really played a factor), but in the end it was the Coaching that was primarily the problem.

You maybe 100% right as I am not so nuanced, however there is no way the Bills should have been steamrolled like that and let's go back to January 2nd, when the first two series Cincy was doing whatever they wanted. For the Bills to come out maybe worse 3 weeks later at home was a joke. The Coaches learned (or did) nothing. And where were all the Experts from week 8 on not banging the drum that the Bills D is not that good? Seems only a few "Non-Experts" here..... Oh and now you and others.🤣

The Thread was started in the first quarter when Cincy was stopped the first two drives vs. the Bills being walked over & down 14-0. Cincy's defense should be commended as it could have been 14-0 KC. They also had the 3 & out of the game just prior to half after the Burrow interception and 1st & ten at Cincy 39. They don't stop them there & the game would have been over. Oh & started the second half that way. Now give Cincy credit those two stops changed the game as their offense scored 10 points. Compare that to last week when the Bills too got the ball with two munutes left in the first half and the kickoff to start the third. As bad as Buffalo had played, if the offence stepped up and some better coaching and calls it could have been 17-17 or 21-17 and a new game./ And he's the defensive genius who f'd up 13 seconds & OT.

Hey it was a tough game, decided on the last play, but quite obvious what team was prepared to play the Bengals and which team last week was not. Give Cincy credit they played well, but lost. KC too did not play a perfect game, but their defence actually created pressure and the DB's and Safeties actually had their eyes on the ball when defending receivers. And while KC couldn't run the ball the offense knew what to do and took short passes (still not sure why Allen couldn't run). Night & day as opposed to the Bills.

Yep blame Dorsey, let McD skate again. Blame the defense on Frazier.

You're not allowed to say such stuff. Now it was the Bills were beat by a better team and forget about the coaching. Last month when the Bills were just scraping by it was no big deal because a win is a win. Some people want to have it both ways especially when it comes to McD. I still believe the Bills were the best team. -
How many chances will McDermott get?

And the Bills have a defensive minded coach and you got to think the defense has peaked. The offense that's solely on Josh Allen. Is there any indication that we can give McDermott any credit for the offensive performance of this team? If that's the best you can do on defense it doesn't bode well. -
Again I blame it solely on the coaching. See below From The Ringer On Sunday, the Bengals had to start three backups who essentially hadn’t played all season: at right tackle, Hakeem Adeniji, the player whose performance at right guard in last year’s Super Bowl probably did more than anyone’s to win the Rams a title; at left tackle, Jackson Carman, the player who was benched at right guard last year to allow Adeniji to fall apart in the postseason; and at right guard, Max Scharping, who was cut during the preseason by the 3-13-1 Texans because he couldn’t find a role on their offensive line. None of these three players had meaningful roles with the Bengals through the first four months of the regular season, and their average Pro Football Focus grade was 48.7 (out of 100). They should have been toast against the Bills. Instead, Cincinnati’s makeshift line dominated against the Bills. Burrow was sacked only once, for a loss of 2 yards. The Bengals ran for 172 yards—more than in 16 of their 17 previous games this season—with Joe Mixon having his second 100-yard game of the season. Look at the massive hole opened up for Mixon on this run, ending with Bills linebacker Tremaine Edmunds getting dumped into the snowy sideline. I don’t quite understand how this happened. There’s no evidence in the careers of Adeniji, Carman, or Scharping to suggest any one of them could be competent NFL players—let alone all three of them at the same time—and we’d seen how disastrous poor line play could be to this exact Bengals team.
