As a fan that watches and reads everything, all of the talk this week has been very respectful towards the Bills. Everyone knows how good your team is, also Joe and Josh are friends. KC safety seriously trash talked us and not one player of ours said a word. Here is a question for you... do you guys want to pay us back on Monday for that win vs the Ravens in 2017 or wait until the playoffs?

Mixon is not the Bengals biggest threat. Perine actually averaged more yards when Mixon was out with an injury. You think the Bengals play Tua Ball?

What?

As a Bengals season ticket holder for many years and well informed on all things my team, I can promise you this is not the case. It is tiring to hear to KC fans nonstop blaming the refs for all 3 losses on twitter. It is also comical to continually read statements from fans who teams didn't go very far that about the Bengals were lucky making it to the Super Bowl. But Cincy is getting plenty of love, in fact I'm shocked at how many commentators/writers are picking Cincy in this game. Maybe just hyping it up?

Where is the bragging? A few quotes are put on twitter and some of you are crazy fragile. Here is wht the guys said in full context: "At the end of the day, what people got to realize and understand, we the big dog of the AFC and that's just what it is," Mixon said after Saturday's practice. "For anything to happen, it goes through us." "We know what our end goal is and in order to get to that end goal we got to get through Buffalo," Mixon said. "We got to keep one week at a time and everything else take care of itself." Mixon praised Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano but added that "they're not the [Baltimore] Ravens." "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. That's on you, however y'all want to play it. "But at the same time, we're going to play our game and we're not going to let nobody dictate what we wanna do. That's just what it's going to be." "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, but at the same time I know our guys, we [are] ready." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35353953/big-dog-afc

Bengals are not good with designed QB runs, smash mouth will not work with Reader & Hill (Chubb & Henry didnt get 50 yds). Also concerned about play action with the rookie CB, only played in a handful of games. Bills will be very tough for the Bengals on both sides of the ball.

They pulled specific partial quotes to get fans worked up heres the link. Every player said respectful things about the Bills, they know how good you guys are. Also, keep in mind that Mixon is not in the upper tier of intelligence ..... https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35353953/big-dog-afc

Seriously? Read the article with some context not just hot takes to piss off fans. KC provided real bulletin board material before our game. "in order to get to that end goal we got to get through Buffalo" "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 http:// https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35353953/big-dog-afc

Is this satire? "They're not like Miami with timing routes". 90% of the Bengals passing offense is timing routes, Burrow has the second fastest release by 1/10th of a second to Brady for a reason. "They're more like having a few Gabe Daviseseses as well." Bengals have the best WR room in the NFL. "Chase can't run a full route tree and could be taken out by tough coverage". Chase is an elite route runner, touted as the best in a long time coming out of college. You think Chase doesn't get "tough coverage" every game? "Higgins is as effective for them as Gabe Davis is for us." Tee already has over 1000 yds receiving this season. He is rated as a #1 receiver, while many here do not consider Gabe a solid #2.... Did I just fall for a satire post? Yes, Bengals fan here. Our fanbase has always like the Bills. I see a lot of hate here though... big game and potential rivalry does that I guess? No doubt Lamar and Josh have different styles, but containing the pocket and spying is the same concept on D. We are terrible on QB run design plays, way worse than scrambles. This will e a huge test for the Bengals. Biggest game of the season. I'll be there Monday, should be a great one.

Jeeeeez, so much fragility here. Read what Mixon said in full context. Bills players will not have their feelings hurt... stop letting the media control your emotions with partial quotes. Here are his exact quotes: "At the end of the day, what people got to realize and understand, we the big dog of the AFC and that's just what it is," Mixon said after Saturday's practice. "For anything to happen, it goes through us." "We know what our end goal is and in order to get to that end goal we got to get through Buffalo," Mixon said. "We got to keep one week at a time and everything else take care of itself." Mixon praised Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano but added that "they're not the [Baltimore] Ravens." "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. That's on you, however y'all want to play it. "But at the same time, we're going to play our game and we're not going to let nobody dictate what we wanna do. That's just what it's going to be." "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, but at the same time I know our guys, we [are] ready." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35353953/big-dog-afc This is not remotely close to the Chief's safety "saying he didnt know our players names but they would all be shut down."

Umm not really, they always have a spy, sometimes 2, when rushing 3. Bengals play Lamar twice every year, they know how to scheme a running QB. Josh is an animal, be interesting to see how they do.

I think many are blowing out of proportion? Here are his exact quotes: "At the end of the day, what people got to realize and understand, we the big dog of the AFC and that's just what it is," Mixon said after Saturday's practice. "For anything to happen, it goes through us." "We know what our end goal is and in order to get to that end goal we got to get through Buffalo," Mixon said. "We got to keep one week at a time and everything else take care of itself." Mixon praised Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano but added that "they're not the [Baltimore] Ravens."

"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, but at the same time I know our guys, we [are] ready." Not sure why this hurts so many feelings? I would hope the players are not terribly distraught.... https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35353953/big-dog-afc

Cant stand Burrow? He was gushing compliments about the Bills. Where does this narrative come from? Joe and Josh are friends, Joe said Josh does things and makes throws that NOBODY else can. Mixon also said the Bills were the best competition, as did Chase & Higgins. Mison said they have to go thru Buffalo to win it all. Boyd said "basic D" as compared to some crazy exotic schemes Bengals have played against other teams - he said the Bills didnt have to do anything complicated because the players were so good. Joe Burrow is not Mike White. Not sure why so many Bills fans are being this fragile?

The Patriots game is kind of skewed, Bengals punted twice in the 4th qtr (not counting clock runout). They moved the ball easily and shot themselves in the foot. Consider the following: WR inexplicably stopped route in the redzone - interception (u buys know all too well how frustrating) WR missed audible - pick six Missed Extra Point Missed FG TD called back due to penalty - FG. Mac Grayson Allen Jones appeared to fumble for a Bengals TD but got the call of an incompletion... Chase dropped a bomb Chase fumbled Tee Higgins dropped a TD pass Irwin had an open TD pass he misjudged. Patriots scored on a tipped Hail Mary bomb from midfield on 3rd & 28 Patriots had ONE legitimate scoring drive. Bengals made a ton of uncharacteristic mistakes that will cost the game if they do commit just one or two vs the Bills. You give Mixon too much credit for thinking he knows team stats. I dont believe there is any insecurity in that locker room and there shouldnt be. All reports have been very respectful. Also, KC was expected to beat the Bengals in the AFCCG, so it's hard to say. Schrager said this in response to the fans on twitter, not the players. KC fans have been nonstop blaming the refs for their losses to the Bengals. They do not believe that is realistic that anyone can beat them, only the refs and themselves can defeat them. Bengals players have a ton of respect for Chiefs players and coaches.

I think some are making more out of Mixon's comments than what he may be implying. He said they have to go through Buffalo <to get a championship> and what better team to play against... not really bulletin board material. Really? Queen was almost benched until Smith came, he has absolutely turned their defense around. There is no question RS is by far their best player on defense.
