Thanksgiving Day game thread (no Bills stuff please)
buffblue replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall
They do this literally every season - get behind the 8 ball by starting out terribly, make a run in the 2nd half, and ultimately fall short -

That's an understatement. Burrow will get the credit (just like in the entire Super Bowl run), but the Bengals defense was outstanding tonight -

Speaking of hatred, not sure there is any player in the NFL I hate more than Mike Gesicki. What a toolbag -

Not saying you're wrong, but more pointing out that Burrow is not the only factor in Cincy's performance. The numbers bear that out. He's played solid but has hardly been some unstoppable force. That seems to be where the narrative is heading though -

He's averaging 5.7 ypa. That's not exactly lighting the world on fire. The Bengals terrible defense deserves as much credit for holding the Ravens in check -

But he'll put up gaudy numbers as always because he throws the ball so often. Dude has attempted 32 passes in the first half lol -

They need to win out. 3 tougher games (HOU, DEN, LAC) and 2 gimmes (TEN, LV). Unfortunately, all of the challenging games are at home. They're not dead yet, but definitely on the brink -

Need to do more than kill clock. Dallas needs at least 2 first downs to put the game away -

Hunt is their best back by a decent margin imo. Pacheco is one of the worst running backs in football -

They could be in the exact same position down 31-24 and have 5 1/2 minutes left on the clock instead of 3. The huddling is insane when you are trailing. There is a limited amount of possessions remaining and your defense struggles to stop anything. -
That's the one thing that could help even the playing field and prevent them from pulling away from the Bills too much, despite the massive edge in salary cap space. It will be nice to see them picking at the bottom of the 1st round as well. They do have quite a lot of picks though, including 2 4th's and 4 6th's.

Yeah it definitely looked rough. It's possible he could still be out. Forgot to mention but Hendrickson missing another game certainly helped to offset the Oline injuries. I fully expect him back for the Bills too the way our season is going.

And Chase. And Higgins for a stretch. Maybe Chase will spit on someone from Baltimore Thanksgiving night? Jokes aside you know we'll be playing both those guys plus Burrow by the time our game rolls around, then we get the Pats coming off the bye

Shaq Lawson on the way (now reportedly signed to practice squad)

This is not necessarily true. The Bills can certainly get in at 10-7 but it will matter which games they win and require at least some decent fortune in other AFC results. For instance, if the Bills beat PHI/NYJ/CLE but lose to PIT/CIN/NE, they are completely screwed.
-
If we do it is likely going to be the same way a victory would've happened against the Texans - very, very ugly. At this point sign me up. We need a W in the worst way, especially given our struggles on the road
-
This is what I was just wondering. It likely will be good enough, but we may need to go 4-2 to ensure we get in. We already have a worse AFC record than all but Kansas City
-
It was 87 percent (albeit after the loss to Houston) to 82 percent now. That is a significant hit in one afternoon of football. The NYT model has us back up at 92 percent with a win against Pittsburgh but down to 64 with a loss. Next week is close to a must win - we would likely drop to 9th with a loss
-
Just a disastrous week for the Bills. Not a single game went their way. Lose against Pittsburgh and we are in deep, deep trouble
