Mixon never said "play clean" - he said play honest, as in the Bills can't oversell to stop the run or the passing game will eat or vice versa, had nothing to do with sportsmanship or dirty play. This is basic football lingo that anyone who has followed the game for 1 season should know...? "The best thing about is they're going to have to play us honest," Mixon said. "If you want to cheat, whatever you want to do, we're going to make you pay, whichever way you want to do it." Joe Mixon Bengals kept the blue lights on last night for the Bills

Our offense was rolling vs the Bills defense, looked unstoppable, but we did this last week vs Pats as well, and then made series of crazy mistakes and didnt score a point in the 2nd half and of course the Bills are much better than the Pats... no idea how that game would have went.

This is going around amongst Cincy fans.

Even though the Bengals were controlling the game, if they cant replay it just call it a tie. This is such a tragedy. So sorry for the Bills.

WTF is wrong with some of you? #1 Mixon picked up Higgins and Hamlin fell into him. Mixon immediately began pointing at him as players do when another is seriously injured. #2. 65,000 Bengals fans were holding hands in prayer. My son is still there. Nothing but prayers and wishes from Bengals fans and players... a couple real douchebags on this site.

I stand corrected, forgiveness is requested. Look at your previous comment. The Bills have done a great job the last. few years, the Bengals have as well only faster. Im not sure why you feel so much more superior? I guess if you guys win by 30 tonight you are correct...?

The Bengals did this last season as well, this may have to do with game checks?

Not great. New punter half way through the season from practice squad, we had him last year as well. Former punter here for a million years simply lost it, needed replaced. New guy has a bigger leg, but hang time is an issue and not as accurate with directional punting. McPherson's kicking has been pretyy bad at times. Guy was automatic last season as a rookie but missed a handful of extra points and short field goals. He is perfect (5/5 ?) from over 50 yards. Punt returner has a decent average but is a hands guy, not a threat to break one. KR changed midway as well, #3 RB not a skilled returner. Bills are at the minimum equal as to teams and very likely much better.

This is the unearned superiority a few of you have. A "marginal team" that went to the SB, that same exact team now battling the Bills for the #1 seed..? Perhaps "surprising team" would be better to describe last season and "solid team" this year? The superiority and lack of respect is odd given the success of the 2 teams this season and last, not to mention neither has a ring...?

Not sure Allen is taking on Wilson or Pratt, in fact Josh said he was not going to try Wilson head on. That said Josh is a tank and even as a Bengals fan I like watching him play. His jumps are insanely athletic and crazy. Queen is not close to Smith or either Bills LB.

Hubbard being out is big for the Bengals. Backups are Sample - no pass rush but decent vs the run, and Ossai - pretty good pass rusher, not great vs the run. Hubbard would be critical in pressuring and containing the QB, especially with the counter bash you guys run with Allen. Also of note, Hubbard is almost always the spy when we drop 8. So a big blow for the home team.

We have played the Ravens twice a year for decades - tons of great LBs, kinda odd that hurt your feelings? Bills have won the same number of SBs as the Bills... again, for such a knowledgeable fanbase so many on here seem to be lacking. Teams dont get to the SB on luck alone. They did something the Bills couldnt last year, it was good to see both teams beat KC this season. But the "lucky" take is kind of childish... The fragility of a handful of you is surprising from such a tough blue collar fanbase... good to see the majority on here are not like this. Good luck tomorrow night, wont be difficult to know which posters have total meltdowns during the game, lol. We have the same.

I simply provided the full quotes for everyone to read? If you still think it was disrespectful in some way after reading them that is your right. Keep in mind Mixon does not have the highest IQ on the team. For such a knowledgeable fanbase some of you really dont see a difference in QB Mike White and Joe Mixon? So, if Tua is body-slammed by a LB do you think Josh Allen is getting smashed like that too?

Im guessing you are new to the NFL? With a huge game players are not just getting asked questions, it is the same questions over and over and then there are baiting questions - Bills are the best team in the AFC, however, the wording of the question make it seem as though beating the Bills is an insurmountable task... the media likes the attention thus the partial quoting of Mixon hoping that uninformed people will just run with it.

Not sure it is fair to mention Mike White in the same sentence with Mixon as to being hit...? Only QB I would compare any RB to in terms of taking a hit is Josh Allen and even then Mixon is a powerful guy. I think everyone sees your LBs as all around excellent players, Ravens have the thump only rep.. who knows? Which ever of us gets KC... beat the ***** out of them. Bills have a ton of fans in Bengals Nation. We all wish Joe was brighter and more articulate, but... he has said other things as well as complimentary. Keep in mind all the media is in Cincy and they are getting pounded about the big bad Bills and how will they react to the best team in the AFC over and over...

This is exactly why I have posted the full quotes by Mixon so often, because of posters like this that still think the Bengals are being disrespectful.

Josh's arm with our WR's and his run game would be unfair. He and Burrow seem to have a great friendship. I'm sorry you missed the joke. If you still think the players were disrespecting the Bills I totally understand why you missed the joke.

There 50 posts on this board up in arms over pieces of quotes by Mixon. I provided a link to the article and the full quotes. Im trying to help your brethren stop looking so bad... We play the Ravens twice a year every year - and they always have a tough defense. I love your linebackers but neither are thumpers like Roquan Smith. Mixon knows who has hit him and has always said the Ravens were the best he faced as a RB for a long time. It his opinion, not a slight to the Bills - this is the thinking of which I am referring. You guys have a great defense with great linebackers.

I was responding to two of you... Pine Barrens Mafia said "Best way to deal with a braggart is to humiliate them. You agreed. I just wanted to provide some context and ask who is bragging?

Again with the fragility? I am simply providing context to all the whining bout partial quotes by Bengals players in which they are really complimentary. Our team and fanbase have a great amount of respect for the Bills. You havent seen me make one negative comment regarding your players or coaches, nor have I said the Bengals are better. You would rather not hear the truth and just be mad of quotes taken out of context? I bet you are real fun at parties. It was a joke. Maybe change your avatar to JR?

Let's see how informed and emotionally intelligent you truly are... Skip Bayless is an idiot, everyone knows this, but you, you get upset? Bengals 3rd WR would be the Bill's #2, and Boyd said that the secondary runs a basic scheme when asked about coverage compared to the exotics the Bengals have been facing. Boyd said the Bills did not need to do things outside of their scheme because they are very good... it was a compliment. I have posted Mixon's full quotes 20 times on this message board... but here are some highlights, because it is obvious you are not interested in looking into topics that you like to chirp about hoping to get others to be as emotionally fragile as you. . "We know what our end goal is and in order to get to that end goal we got to get through Buffalo," Mixon said. . Mixon praised Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano... . "The Bills, what better team would you be able to go up and put your best against?" Mixon said. "It's a great opportunity for us No one has said the Bills should be scared, just the tiniest amount of intelligence would reveal that Mixon's comments inferred that the Bengals are not scared of the Bills, who have the best record and is an excellent team. Do better Buck.

Actually both fanbases generally each others team. There are some on each side that act like fragile brats if they take a quote out of context or if a fellow fan compliments the other team, but those people are worthless and usually dont know football. It's only mentioned 500 times in this thread but not in a teenager manner. Many actually read the entire conversation which included: "We know what our end goal is and in order to get to that end goal we got to get through Buffalo," Mixon said. Mixon praised Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano... "The Bills, what better team would you be able to go up and put your best against?" Mixon said. "It's a great opportunity for us, How long you been a Bills fan?
