Yes it is all about "matchups" and IMO our offense represents a much more dangerous foe then the Sea Hawks O did. In fact if the Bengal's D plays the Bills in the same way they played Seattle I like our chances.

I'm torn a bit on this move: * My head says it was a great deal by Bean and it addressed the Bills #1 need. We may look back at this signing as the one that saved the season. * My heart says "here we go again throwing more resources at the defense rather then the offense". Only time and the season playing out fully will answer whether my head or heart are right here. I hope this was the move that saves the season by restoring enough of the of the D's capabilities to get us over the hump.

We can at least agree that no one has a good experience at the CVG baggage claim. It is flat out the worst baggage claim in the United States.

Other then for business or driving through on my way to Buffalo & Rochester I can't comment on NE Ohio as I've never lived there. But the difference between NE and SW Ohio is like the difference between Western NY and Down State NY. Another interesting thing about SW Ohio is that it's a heavily Catholic area, not Baptist like you would get further south. It's German Catholic as opposed to the Italian/Irish/Polish Catholicism of Western NY but the cultural impact on the city would remind folks of a place further north then south.

Of course it's the "Midwest" and yes it is also the northern most "Southern" city. That is what makes it different and nice. IMO of course. And yes Downtown & OTR are nice but don't forget the Banks (where the baseball & football stadiums are located along the Ohio river) and Mount Adams (which is like Allen street on a big hill).

What? I moved here in the mid 1980's and love it. Raised a kid here and he's a Bills fan like me. Is it different then Buffalo sure and like Buffalo it has it's good & bad points. And like Buffalo the good outweighs the bad by a wide margin. I had to move from Buffalo after UB for a job. I didn't want to leave as I loved Western NY but South West Ohio is a fantastic place and I felt right at home within a few years of moving here.

It would have been 17 - 14 and the subsequent Bengals TD would have made it 24 - 14. Not seeing how that would have made a big difference. After all, when the Bills scored a TD in the 1st half to cut the lead to 14 - 7 it had no effect on the D which promptly allowed the Bengals to use up the rest of the quarter on a long FG drive. And only a great play by Millano kept the Bengals from scoring a TD on that drive. Also, missing Diggs on a long pass when Allen was getting crushed by the Bengal's DT is just one play. What's the excuse for a Bills D that started the game by allowing the Bengals to have TWO long TD drives to set the tone for the whole game. For crying out loud the game was in Buffalo which generally helped stoke a D.

I would agree with you if McD was an offensive minded coach and the Bills had committed a majority of their draft picks and FA signings to the offense. But McD is a defensive coach and the Bills clearly have pushed more resources to the defense over the last few seasons then the offense. So in a game where the O is struggling, which happens even to the best offenses, I expect the Bills defense to carry the load, especially in a home game. The only reason the D didn't give up more then 27 points was that the Bengal's didn't need to press. After racing out to a 14 - 0 lead they were able to control the game. When the Bills O finally got off the floor and had a nice TD drive to cut the lead to 14 - 7 the D promptly gave up a long, time consuming FG drive to again take a 2 score lead. Then after the Bills had cut the Bengals lead to one score in the 3rd quarter the Bills D gave up a long time consuming TD drive that put them back up by 2 TD's late in the 3rd quarter. The offense did not play well and was far from potent. But they had no TO's until a meaningless late game INT. The fact remains that the D was putrid that game and IMO bears the majority of the responsibility for the Bills losing .

Yep, many times and IMO Cincy Chili is way better. For me the beans, onions and shredded Cheddar cheese combined with the sauce and spaghetti is unusual and good. It's a great break from your typical fast food (burgers, wings, & pizza).

I think the best chance for the Bills to win this game is to win a shootout. Keep in mind while Burrow was great yesterday and the Bengal's O at times looked unstoppable there are very real questions about the 49's defense. Against the Vikings they gave up 452 yards including allowing Cousins to complete 35 of 45 passes for 378 yards. Purdy's 2 bad INT's represented a 14 point swing. Completing 35 of 45 passes for 378 yards without Jefferson is shredding to me. The Vikings struggled scoring TD's which a potent Bengal's O wasn't going to do. And if I were a 49's fan the last 2 weeks has revealed a disturbing issue with the pass rush & pass D.

All I can say is that over the years a lot of Bills fans from Rochester & Buffalo visit me down here in Cincy and they ALL love Cincinnati chili. The stuff is addictive and a great meal. The taste is exotic.

I think he's gone Hollywood and we all know how that ruined Josh Allen.

Why stay "quiet" when it's obvious what this thread is doing? This is sarcasm aimed at all the posts that appeared after Allen's bad game against the Jets and after their loss to the Pats. Judas Priest if we have to listen to the negative nellies after the Bills & Allen struggle can't we joke about Mahomes & the Chiefs when they crap the bed?

Reckless with the ball to. Three TO's. Bingo and Kelce may be slowing down, emphasis on "may".

The offense did not put the D in bad positions accept for once in the 1st quarter. Taking the game in its entirety the offense was not the problem against the Pats.

I don't want DaBoll that's for sure. What a bad decision. It was obvious given the rain pouring down that the chances of making a 47 yard FG was a lot less then gaining the 1st down on 4th & 1. I just don't get what these coaches are thinking half the time.

The Bills are as likely to go on a run and lock up home field advantage as they are to miss the playoffs. In 2020 TB was 7 - 5 before going on a SB winning run that included winning all 3 ROAD playoff games. The 2021 Bills were 7 - 6 and thought dead before going on a run that likely would have seen them in the SB had "13 seconds" not happened. Take it one game at a time.

He also pointed out that the Bills offensive line needs to knock that ball away because once it was tipped anything goes in pass "coverage" which under the circumstances included the O line. He basically blamed Morse for allowing the D lineman to catch the ball. Bottom line is that pass should have been incomplete not INT.

I'm guessing McD instructed him to do it.

Also you can't just turn it back on once you turn it off. So the point in the game where you throttle down has be carefully considered. They did it to early last night. Hopefully they learn their lesson.

Again a fluke 2nd quarter INT was no big deal.

WHAT! It was a fluke INT off a batted pass. We won last night in site of being on the short end of multiple bad ball bounces and weird crap. Allen TO's did not play a role in that game turning out to be closer then it should have been.

I was mad he didn't complete the sack that would have ended the game but clearly that was a sample of his old self on that play with the twist and explosion to the QB. We should have confidence now that within the next month he may be back to his old self and that would be very welcome.

I agree. Those two penalties on back to back 3rd quarter punts pushed the Bills back from midfield to the 20 & 30 yard line. It's hard not to believe that the Bills don't at least get a FG to ice the game starting at midfield two times in a row. Penalties were devastating tonight and almost cost us the game.

The good news is that the defense had to use up all their bad Karma on that 92 yard TB drive right?
