Royale with Cheese

Why is 24 points too much for our offense to overcome? Our TOP was bad because on our 3 punts, we ran 10 plays. Our INT was on 2 plays. If it takes only 24 points on defense to give us a 10-20% chance of winning?

We gave up 3 second half points. Our D kept us in the game.

Cincy had a total of 9 drives and scored 3 TD's and 24 points total. I'm confused on how you're saying the injuries are valid, but immediately say they played like garbage to it's really not an excuse. Its like you're saying an injury filled Bills defense should be able to stop the fully healthy Bengals offense. Why is 24 points enough to beat the Bills? So the Cowboys get accolades for 3 straight 3 and outs but our defense gives up 3 points in the ENTIRE 2nd half and that's just too much or something? Phantom false start? What Tim Settle's roughing the passer a phantom call or legit?

As far as a coaching resume, Schwartz might be one of the most inconsistent DC's I can think of. His graph chart is definitely a W shape.

So basically for every over thrown ball because of a miscommunication needs to be a penalty. That's what the rule stated yesterday.

We were on the outside looking in in 2021.

Yes the injuries are that bad. Jones since being in Buffalo has elevated his game. Lorenzo Alexander's performance elevated when he came to Buffalo. It doesn't matter that he wasn't excellent in his years prior, he was with Buffalo. Milano is 1 or 2 as the best off the ball linebacker in the NFL. DaQuan was playing the best ball if his career. Tre White may not be an All Pro anymore but he's still our best corner. Those are high level players at every level. Now with the signings of Joseph and Douglas, the defense should start getting it right. Last night wasn't bad. It's a success if you can hold Burrow to 24 points. We should not lose for giving up 24 points with the offensive talent we have.

Its because those are the scripted plays.

I think Allen is 3rd this year behind Hurts and Mahomes for percentage of teams total yards.

The defense has had one bad game all year and that was against the Pats. When you hold the Bengals to 1 TD on their last 7 drives, the defense gets credit. The offense should be the one stepping up with the injuries we have on defense but it's the opposite. We are averaging 20 ppg in the last 5 games and 3 of those defenses weren't good. We are a bottom 10 offense in the NFL in the last 5 games.

They held the Bengals to 3 points in the second half. They adjusted and kept us in the game when they are very much a mash unit. Now add Hyde and Bernard to the injury list when we are already missing key contributors. This was a Joe Burrow lead offense that beat down SF healthy defense the week prior. Our offense is the reason why we aren't winning.

We are now a year in with this offense not completely in sync. After the GB, this offense has been clunky. We have a Dolphins and Raiders game this year where the offense was great. Mostly meh and multiple really bad performances. This isn't a phase or a slump, this is it. I know Allen and others deserves blame as well but the issue seems to be they don't fit. I am now 100% in the fire Dorsey train. We need a Coordinator that understands the rhythm of a game and that's where Dorsey struggles. He's like Ricky Vaughn in Major League II. The fastball was working but decided to go off speed heavy....then sucked.

Their NFL career as a player has nothing to do with their ability as a coach. If it did, Ben Johnson wouldn’t have any interest from teams.

So far the Dolphins against any good team….Lost by 28 to the Bills, 14 to the Eagles, down 21 to the Chiefs.

I’m thinking about driving to the game. Its about a 7 hour drive from Atlanta. Its either that or transplant shrubs during the day. I’m not sure what sounds more appealing.

Are you high now?

As the game gets faster, there will be more injuries. Anything that moves fast and comes to a sudden halt with changes of direction or because they are hit puts a lot of strain the joint/muscle/ligaments.

Are you just mad because you found your Christmas present from your wife....a red #19 Isiah McKenzie jersey. She thinks he still plays for the Bills and bragging to herself internally that she's getting a steal of a deal. "$3.75 when these are normally like $125.00....yes please!"

With 2K posts, this isn't your first time on a message board. Why do you care to defend him this much? I could turn my off switch as much as you can turn your off to me right? Do you think this is worth continuing? I don't and should stop derailing this thread which I have done enough.

Because I'm obsessed with the Bills and want to get any information I can on them. I love good content and love to read probably 90% of the content on here. Well thought out and logical responses really make this place enjoyable. I have an IG and FB but I'm not really active much on them. I mostly use them for the reels to learn about other stuff. My social media activity is TBD.

I'm not telling him how he should react. But generally, when someone is very whiny and repetitive, it's not met with positive responses. Displeasure isn't unaccepted, but better content would be met with better responses.

It makes sense...they have earned it.

The Bills beat the Chiefs in Arrowhead in 2021 and 2022 after losing to them in the playoffs. I don't think the Bengals beating us last year is still on their minds, it wasn't against KC.

I think what killed us our DT outside of Oliver and then having average #2 at both corners. We have Phillips playing 1t and he's bad there and Settle is a disappointment. We needed size. Now we have at least have a high end #2 at one corner spot. I now expect to see some improvement. If not, then it's going to look bleak in the second half of the season unless our offense goes nuts.
