What kind of play call was that?!

That was a bad throw to Irwin. A lot of confidence in their offense. 4th and Inches and burning a time out.

This drive is concerning - the Bengals starting to go through the Steelers defense quite easily. Need another turnover.

Always feel nervous about hubris. The Steelers still have to see this out, and the Bills have to do their job.

To try and keep the Bills out? No good if the Bills win out and the Dolphins lose another. The Bills will then take the second seed over the Chiefs.

Hendrickson off the field injured.

Does Browning think the Bengals are in the green?

Cynically I think that would have been called had the Bengals been 14-0 up.

That's DPI. No question. Lucky Bengals.

Let's just say any NFC win over the AFC would be useful right now - until the Super Bowl if the Bills get there!

The Steelers were up by 13 against the Colts last week IIRC. The Bengals were down something like 17-3 going into the fourth. Long way to go but looking good so far.

Don't think so, not at this stage. The Chiefs have the Raiders and Chargers left, excluding the Bengals. In all likelihood that would see them with eleven victories; defeat against the Bengals would see them at 11-6 which would clinch the division for them anyway. The more the Bengals lose the better, unless we really think the Bills will win out and the Dolphins will drop another. I'd prefer to be making the play offs a certainty rather than going all in on a higher seeding right now.

Only so many times can you risk that kind of throw. Eventually it'll backfire.

Sorry but that was an utter fluke.

"It was a beautiful job by Browning in the pocket..." His O Line gave him about an hour.

That's a nice start.

Didn't see a thread. Hope no one minds one being started. Bengals start in possession. Come on Steelers!

😃 Both teams have been winning of late but, admittedly, for the early part of the season (weeks two to four aside) the Bills have struggled whilst Ipswich have done well. Maybe there's going to be a change between the two now.

The soccer team I support were utterly embarrassed today, which means I feel really deflated going into tonight. Hope the Bills can pick me up again. In fairness, if one team had to win and the other lose, it's more important for the Bills to get the win.

The Bills won that game arguably on a missed defensive penalty at the death. If it had been given, and the Giants had won, would Dorsey have been fired then? And then the Bills only lost to the Broncos due to 12 men on the field for the missed kick. If Special Teams had done their job, would Dorsey have kept his position for at least another week? Considering the reaction post Broncos perhaps the Bills would have been better off if the penalty had been given, leading to a Giants win.

This game just feels like a re-run of the Pats. A game everyone expects the Bills to win. A game the Bills have no right to lose. And yet... Get the win and move on to week seventeen. But I'm not taking anything for granted.

Josh has the ability to push himself into MVP contention. Whether that’s right for him or the Bills is another thing altogether. As you say, yesterday did him no favours at all although he did nothing wrong.

I'd agree but I think Pro-Bowl and, as an extension MVP, is voted more on how teams do than individual players. If Josh has three games of four TDs and no INTs/fumbles but the defense give up 30+ and the Bills go 0-3, Josh won't have a chance, no matter what his personal record is.

I rate Purdy more than most... remember how other QBs have performed in that much vauted offense. But I agree, CMC is the 49er MVP, followed by Samuel, Aiyuk and Williams. From memory, I think Williams and Aiyuk were both missing for the games the 49ers lost this year.

If it's like last year, the voting for pro bowl opened around 14th November, just after the Bills lost to the Broncos and Josh saw his OC sacked. Now, some would have held back their votes until nearer the closure date, which is probably some time this week. If they didn't then I think Tua, Jackson and Mahomes will get the votes, along with the press hype surrounding Stroud (which, IMO, is more down to the presence of Dell but that's bye the bye). Admittedly, due to the early voting window for Pro-Bowl, it doesn't necessarily impact MVP. If Josh sees this through with clutch performances over the next three weeks then he'll be up there. Yesterday was clutch but not in a traditional Josh way. It was mature and controlled - just what the Bills needed.
