Success

I 100% do not believe in jinxes.

JA's play wasn't the issue yesterday.

I started the post saying the Bengals are a great team, and could absolutely beat us. But happy to provide you w/ a "told ya so" opportunity.

Been through too many drought years to give up on THIS season. We're one game back in the division to a team that's a bigger pretender than we are. We can still pull out the division, imo - thought I'd admit it's an uphill climb. From there, who knows. We are NOT as good as some of the other teams in the AFC this year. But as we all know - it's not always the best team that wins in the end. It's the team that gets hot at the end.

And here I thought I was the most positive here. The OP found more hope than I can tonight. I appreciate it. There is a scenario where we can get back on track. But I can't give them that benefit of the doubt right now. I don't even know who this team is at the moment.

I wish I could quit this team. So much heartbreak & disappointment. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Allen is a great QB, but it's not enough in a conference FULL of great QB's. We are currently an afterthought in this AFC. After 13 seconds, I really assumed we'd be trading titles w/ KC.

My expectations for the rest of my time as a Bills fan are altered. This one was tough.

This is depressing. I have to talk myself into the fact that we "should" beat the Broncos & Jets, even though we could easily lose to one. I have to talk myself into the idea that we could beat 1 of the Eagles or Chiefs. I have to convince myself that we can put a December/January run together. And all that, just to get a mid to low seed, so we'll have to win at LEAST 2 on the road in the playoffs, if not all 3.

Yeah - figured this thread would be an easy one after this game. Check the 1st line. And we did overhype them. But I overhyped the Bills.

The only positive I can take from this game is that they hung in. Honestly, the way it was played - the Bengals were dominant, and should have won by 3 scores. The players kept fighting. The coaching was as bad as I've seen since the drought.

To be fair to the D - they have done really well in the 2nd half. The offense? I just don't get it. Yeah, there is the fumble on a good drive. But 10 points? Cincy's D isn't elite - they're good, but not elite.

The "2 hot coffees" guy cracks me up every time....

If we miss the playoffs, or just get knocked out in the WC - there has to be a coaching change.

Not taking a time out & going for a hail mary there? Not that it's a huge chance. But that isn't just poor situational awareness - that is NO situational awareness.

So, when the clock hits 1 second - why are we not calling a TO, and going for a hail mary?

The narrative now is going to be the Cincy has our #, and Burrow is clearly better than Allen. And really...what can we say?

another quarter second, and Kincaid is WIDE open.

Would love to see Von's 1st sack of the season here....

Bad call on their part not to go for it. HAVE to take advantage. Tie this game & put some pressure on.

Good QB's have an easy time w/ our zone. I don't see it working for a title run

I love the taunt. Just one though.

Brady was really somethin'. I have to give him that. Every time we played him, there was just this sense of inevitability.

Well, Bills fans - in the words of one of the greats....WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU RATHER BE?!!!!

If we win tonight, I'll feel great about winning the division. Miami is a pretender. The Bills aren't - they've looked shaky most of the season so far, but they're still a far more serious contender than the Dolphins.

Feelin' good right now.. Hope I feel the same way in 6 or so hours.
