You just choosing to not take into consideration that I said this in the original comment?
"Obviously this has nothing to do with you, so just know that I'm simply talking to you since your a fan. (Respect man)"
You come back with all this "amateur fragile fan crap and then try gaslighting with your "up in arms" comment.
This is a message board where we talk about all things related to the game.
Your team and the media have been making waves on social media, and sports radio in regard to this topic. But how dare I talk about it without being lumped into your fragile fan narrative.Apologies if I mistook your original comment.
Brother if you understood how clowny our local media can be. Since Burrow arrived we have so many bandwagoners doing media and Cincy gives out press passes to anyone. It is like they make ish up just to provide content daily. So many times the players are asked stupid questions and these guys run with it. And I have already acknowledged that we have some low IQ ballers when it comes to guys giving answers in the locker room.
It's just a weird conversation. I cant imagine me getting upset because of some motivation McDermott may have said.....? I will say that we have one of the younger teams in the league so maybe it helps those guys somewhat? -

Initially I absolutely loathed the schedule because of this particular 4 game stretch plus the late bye.
Good thing is that Den and NYJ should present easier match-ups between Cincy and Philly.
I'm still not fond of playing Cincy, Philly, and KC on the road though.
Bengals have 49ers, Jags and KC on the road, not quite as bad.
Poor KC has the Lions, Bills, Bengals, Eagles all at their place..... interesting algorithm the NFL has.-

I understand your point, but you are just wrong when it comes to the Bengals. They have an MO of whining and searching for extra motivation by hanging on to dumb stuff, and just making stuff up as in the case currently being debated. Their coach encourages it. He was behind the whole "we are being dissed because the Bills are selling Championship tickets" BS last year. This is not fans being sensitive despite your arrogant comments. In the case of the Bengals, it's a real thing. They are whiney *****, led by a whiney B word. Sorry, but its true. You will never see the Bills doing this, because they have real leaders.
This is very amateur FL Fan, every team comes up with some kind of motivation, I doubt that it ever truly works with professional athletes. Why fans would get so riled up at an opponents attempts to motivate their players is crazy. Saying that the Bills never use motivation is quite revealing as well.
You seem to be experiencing some serious coping on an issue that has nothing to do with the Bills, unless you think that the "tickets motivation" is what caused the Bengals to thoroughly whip the Bills in the playoffs? Our fanbase isnt too caught up in these things, we do have some young ones that get fired up over trivial silly things like these but those of us that have been around a long while take it for what it is... nothing. -

Titans he couldn’t move, got drilled up the middle, was gunning the calf on the sidelines, and dealing with an elbow.
That died down after that Titans game.
You are arguing with one of the most informed Bengals fans you will ever communicate with. I see and read it all. Trust me, Burrow was not healthy vs Seattle, our play book is the only evidence you need as an outsider.
You want to live in your own reality? Feel free, but you look silly to those of us that actually know. I would never try to correct you guys on Josh's shoulder.... that would be stupid.-

Don't give me that condescending crap. I wasn't attacking you. I DO know that they were answering questions. I'm not an idiot or fragile. The bangles are the ones causing the drama. "Please disrespect us". They are looking to get offended and find material and yeah their media play into it. Waaaaaawaaaaaa the NFL we're selling tickets to Bills KC game last year but guess what they were selling bangles and Jacksonville too, but all you heard about was Cinci being "disrespected". "The league is fixed and selling tickets to Buffalo KC." Give me a break.
You say you are not fragile yet you are up in arms about an opposing football team utilizing or even manufacturing motivation tactics for their players? You think that the Bengals are the only team that does this? The only team that has ever done this? C'mon man. -

Actually I do watch the games.
And talk to Bengals fans down here.
Burrow has had a completely healthy team the entire season.
Our team has been healthy but Burrow hasnt been. What a weird retort?

Yeah that’s a load.
Bengals fans have been milking that calf injury until the the 49ers game made it convenient.
Oh look he ran for 43 yards, Joe the athlete is back.
He’s had round the clock treatment on the calf since July, aggravated it (to a lesser degree) against the Ravens.
Because here is the thing, if he went out there and threw for 300-yards and 3 TDs it would have been look at Joe, what a leader, what a warrior.
They get by the Seahawks because of their defensive line and the fall back is the calf.
That went out the window after the Cardinals game.
Lol, no. Actually watch the games. We had the same limited play book. We had zero under center, no run game, and all the issues I mentioned before.
If you dont know the difference in the offensive scheme from Seattle to 2 weeks later in San Francisco just say you didnt watch the games. It was beyond evident and nonstop mentioned in the post game pressers. This is actually a silly convo, you couldnt be more wrong. -

Earlier in the year I thought Burrow had become more predictable.
It was the same thing we’ve seen, underneath passes, and when he sees 1-1 on the outside he throws deep, the Seattle interception was this.
And Boyd has been a steady 7-9 targets in all games this year.
The problem of course is Chase on short throws underneath, especially out of the slot.
The Seattle game was strange because the calf was healthy and the Bengals went silent in the second half, again multiple chances to score.
Seattle has much more speed at corner than the Bills, so no getting around that.
"Burrow was healthy vs Seattle", is only stated on this message board. He wasnt.
We had the same limited playbook as the previous games, no under center, no play action, no roll outs, no QB draws, etc.
Inability to go under center severely limits the run game, RPO, and play action.
Seahawks young CBs are very solid.
I have no idea what to expect from the Bills. -

This is how a lot of Bills fans feel about our OC (Dorsey). Some folks complain about Allen running around instead of getting the ball out quickly. It would be easier if Dorsey's schemes and play-calls gave Allen someone to throw to.
I dont want to diminish Tua in any way, and Hill has been tremendous for them, but Mike McDaniel with Burrow or Allen would be extremely dangerous IMHO.

And Nick Wright says Allen is a roller coaster.
I’ve thought all-off-season that Burrow got no flack for the 2 Interceptions he threw against Kansas City (the second one was a deep ball that died on its way to Higgins in the AFCCG) and his offense had multiple chances in the 4th to take the lead and he couldn’t get it done.
Gotta love Nick Wrong. At least he isnt biased.....
He sh!ts on Josh Allen more than any player and he is scared of the Bengals.
The 1st interception Higgins did not cut inside the safety, he said it was his fault.
The 2nd interception was hitting Tee in stride in the belly and the DB made a great play with the tip.
You act as if you havent seen truly bad interceptions before?
I'll also add the refs giving KC a do over after a 3rd down stop didnt help, along with other refs doing refs things in KC and our terrible punter. I was disheartened at how bad the offense became when Boyd went down. -

JOE MIXON LISTED AS QUESTIONABLE.
Hopefully that dirt bag doesn't play. Guy was involved in a domestic incident the day before the playoff game wasn't he?
Mixon was a full go at practice today. If he goes down we would have to pull Ickey Woods out of the crowd to play RB.

I'm not sure that DJ Reader is any less of a "hole" than our options.
Phillips has had a better career than Reader, and he was better here last season. I don't understand why the drop in performance. He's only 31. I have to think that they can tweak the D to help him contribute more.
As to the LBs, we've discussed that ad nauseum and essentially agree. The players on the roster are the ones that they chose. Now they have to live with it.
Either way, we could conversly say that we don't have the hole that they have in the entire secondary too.
Particularly if Douglas starts, as I suspect he will.
... and FWIW, their rushing D is worse than ours.
If we can't generate some serious offense on SN ...
This is the 1st time I have ever read any DJ Reader negativity. The guy is touted by many as the absolutely best run NG in the NFL. We will see how he does Sunday night but he is vital to our defense.
Hole in our secondary? We have an insane WR rating, it is very good. Granted we have a safety spot that could be better and for some reason the only TE we ever cover is Kelce...
Bengals D is coming around now that the offense decided to stop breaking 3 & out records. Allen is a huge test though. -

That is a good list - I'll give you that. But put our front 4 together as one unit and that's the key. We will see. Naming one-offs is fine but you just watch Sunday. Then again... who knows. Anything can happen. AND IT WILL!!!!! crush
Lol, ok kid. I know your players but I am not on expert on them, on the outside looking in it would seem that losing Jones would be a big hit. I know our dline wouldnt be the same if we lost a guy of that caliber.
1 minute ago, SWATeam said:Scrambling is one thing, but it seemed like the guy thought he was Jerome Bettis or something out there finishing runs. Not that we haven't had that same issue with Allen.
I see. Yes you are correct. Joe likes contact, he is an idiot at times. Joe is a Ferrari without the top end speed, at least Allen is a semi truck.

For finally being healthy your boy did not seem to play very smart last week. Almost like he was hunting for a new injury.
Are you referring to his scrambling?
With all due respect, Burrow has been an escape artist since he entered the league. That is his game and why we sucked so bad early on. His calf injury was non-contact, no one was within 15 yards of him. I'm not sure what more to say, maybe watch some highlights from previous years or something?1 minute ago, Billsfan1972 said:Caesar's a fan, what's the big deal? Has some good points too. At the end of the day it will be played out on the field.
What amazes me it that the Bills & Bengals have played 5 quarters and the Bengals are coming off a very good game against a team that has now lost 3 in a row and the narrative has flipped.
Actually I'm feeling better now thinking back to the playoffs and remembering, that yep, I blamed McD and coaching and forgetting just how slick the field was and yep emotionally maybe the Bills were drained.
Conversely I have minimal confidence in the Bills Defense, but just a stop or two and a FG, not a TD and I'll then roll the dice with Josh.
Many Bengals fans felt that the Bills had no energy in that playoff game. They absolutely went through a ton of adversity last season.
I am not extremely confident in my team whatsoever, this game will be a solid litmus test for both teams IMHO.-

Our front 4 is better as collective than any front you have faced. While there is no singular dominator our pass rush can come from any one on the edge or interior. I expect McDermott will also play small ball and move Poyer into the box to bring more exotic looks for Burrown and send blitzers to make Burrow get the ball out. I consider the unpredictability of our defense and where pressure will come from as a major X-factor.
Maybe... Im not sure how many outside of Buffalo would agree with this, especially with DaQuan being out.
I wouldnt be surprised if the Bengals welcomed Poyer in the box, they may run right at him. Although I admit I prefer your LBs instead, as Burrow could likely do way more damage to them.2 minutes ago, Dillenger4 said:That's football pinto. Injuries happen. We are decimated with injuries but that's what happens. No excure. He either can play or not. If he played, which he did, and looked crapppy, which he did - that's on him. Now it's on you too. Just get lost pinto!
wait till sunday night! Burrow in deep trouble. He hasn't faced a rush like ours yet. Gonna be a pounding like none other. Can't wait!
"He hasn't faced a rush like ours yet."
Myles Garrett
Za'Darius Smith
RoQuan Smith
Ravens D
Aaron Donald
Jeff Simmons
Denico Autry
Bobby Wagner
Arik Armstead
Fred Warner
Nick Bosa.
He has faced quality defenders. You may be right though, that defense could destroy the Bengals.....-

Was he dinged up vs. Seattle too? He was not very good that game.
Yes he was. We could not, and did not, run any plays under center, he still couldnt move much at all, our playbook was so limited. We are all astounded (and annoyed) at how much a stupid calf strain can impact a QB, especially after watching Allen throw 80 yarders with his cannon ripped up on the inside last year. -

Just once I’d like to see a DC whose philosophy is “Don’t bend, don’t break”
I couldnt agree more brother. My only guess is that the rules favor the offense so much these days that the defense is playing with one hand tied behind its back.-

Nope not the injury part, just the Bengals defense giving up the most big plays per game in the league part. I think your bolded part above addresses it better than your “interesting take” reply from earlier to the poster whose main point seemed to be that the Bengals D is bad.My brief research shows Bengals’ red zone defense is top 15, which probably helps balance out being the worst at giving up big plays.
FWIW, the Bills are toward the bottom of the league in giving up big plays but unlike Bengals most of those are runs. I’d have guessed the Bills have a worse red zone defense but ours is top 10.
We are the epitome of bend dont break, we give up a ton of yards at times. Lou says "yards in stead of points". Basically worked out ok the last couple of years. Im not sure any stats can truly provide a clear picture of our team at this time. The offense was so screwed up the first 6 weeks it impacted everything.
The Bills game will tell us if we have turned a corner or not.-

I just went over their entire starting D lineup. Their D doesn't seem to be any better than ours based on the talent that's starting on Sunday.
Their front-7 is almost entirely 3rd-round draft picks too. I believe that among the entire starting 11 there was only one Pro-Bowl appearance.
Their top guys in their front-7 have 15 total sacks. Henrickson (8), Hubbard (4), and Hill (3).
Our top guys in our front-7 have 19.5 total sacks. Floyd (6.5), AJE (5), Oliver (5), and Groot (3).
TFLs, Cincy 20. Hendrickson (8), Hubbard, Pratt, and Wilson 4 each.
Us, 31. Oliver (10), Groot (6), Bernard (6), AJE (5), Floyd (4).
QB Hits, Cincy 39. Hubbard (12), Hendrickson (11), Hill (11), Reader (5).
Us, 35. Floyd (12), Oliver (10), Groot (7), AJE (6).
They don't seem to have any ringers in their secondary either and seems to be notably worse than ours.
Just a little perspective for everyone that's bawling about how the season's over "because our D sucks."
Speaking for myself, I have very little faith that we'll win @ Philly, which if we don't, makes this pretty much a must-win game. I agree with your 3-1/2-2/1-3 assessment over the next four games. Zach Taylor has outcoached McD the last three times we've met, which includes the beginning of the Hamlin game. The first time was with Dalton and a bunch of JAGS at WR besides Boyd, whose hardly prolific. Granted, we had Brown, Beasley, Jones, and McKenzie, but that was better than Boyd and three young WRs that aren't even in the league anymore, two not since '21.
At this point the heat is appropriately beginning to befall McD. We'll see what he has up his sleeve, if anything, for SNF, Prime Time. It'll be on display for the world. I'm hopeful, but I wouldn't bet on us coming out on top. This team is ridiculously mystifying in its ability to underachieve.
You are correct in that the Bengals D does not have many accolades, that said:
Hendrickson has the most QB pressures in the last few seasons, (unsure of the numbers), but it's up there.
Hubbard was listed as one of, if not the top, run stopping DE the last 2 years.
DJ Reader is without a doubt one of the best NGs in the league, especially at run stopping.
Wilson and Pratt are becoming an upper tier LB duo.
Hilton is a top nickel corner.
Our young CBs have played very well, Awuzie is still slow off the ACL.
Hill has been really good at safety. Scott not so much, a rookie has been getting snaps.
This D gives up yards but can be stingy when it comes to points.

You sure are mouthy for a guest in enemy territory.
We get all sorts of visiting fans from opposing teams. You sure are choosing to go about your business an...in interesting way.
Good luck to you, and good luck to your Bengals this Sunday.
I know I get a little too snarky with some of the antagonists, I'll try to do better. I do hope for a injury free game for both teams and that any Bills fans attending to have a wonderful time. Those I met last season were awesome people.7 minutes ago, Mailman said:I despise those clowns. Probably even more than KC. The manufactured narratives are irritating (i.e., get your refunds) and aren't based in facts.
Get your refunds was totally manufactured, but the league didnt handle the situation well in our opinion and was low hanging fruit.

Maybe the SF game was the spark they needed and they will go on to dominate the rest of the way. But they also showed flashes of being "back" against the Ravens and Cardinals and then reverted to bad play again. Im just not ready to say theyve righted the ship based on one game. Many teams can ball out for one game and then play bad the next. Look at us against Miami and then what followed.
The Bengals offense wasnt remotely close vs the Ravens or the Cardinals. The 49ers game was the 1st in which Burrow looked healthy and they actually took snaps under center and opened up the playbook.
I absolutely agree with this; " Im just not ready to say they've righted the ship based on one game." The Bills will be a very tough test to see if we have truly turned the corner. -

We'll agree to disagree on Hendrickson, from my view he extended/continued his roll unnecessarily then finished it with a leg kick/whip into Allen's knee. That may or may not have been intentional, who knows. I've watched the replay in slomo and real time countless times. I'd encourage you to watch the Hurst hit on Jackson.
I'm not suggesting the Bengals have dirty players - these 2 examples may have been isolated events. At least you guys don't have the idiot/criminal Apple anymore, he's now stuck in our division with Miami.
Apple was such a headache, simply not an intelligent person. He was so awful his first few weeks but then became a very productive player.
We paid him $1M to be CB4. CB1 went down and he played CB2 all the way to the SB.
We paid him $3M to be CB2 for awhile until rookie was ready and then benched, CB1 went down and he played CB2 for 10 straight wins and AFCCG.

I’m optimistic based on a few stats:
The Bunguls have run for only 553 yards and 2 TDs all year, while giving up 970 and 6 TDs.
The Bengals are 0-3 when giving up 24 or more points.
Buffalo is 4-1 when scoring 24 or more points.The Bills are 0-3 when running under 100 yards.
The Bengals are 3-3 when running under 100 yards. The Bengals have only posted 1 100+ yard running game.
The Bengals replaced TE Hayden Hurst with an absolute dud, Irv Smith Jr. Hurst concussed Taron Johnson in the cancelled game and hurdled our defense in the playoff game.
The Bengals don’t have RB Perrine.Allen has +10 days rest, Burrow is rounding into form but has yet to be really challenged and chased around the pocket. I expect McDermott will play tighter coverages and challenge Burrow early and often.
Using stats doesnt really tell the true story, we couldnt run 50% of our offense.
Good point on Hurst. Bengals TE room is worse than an overfilled outhouse. It is painful.
Good point on Perine. We miss him badly.
"Burrow is rounding into form but has yet to be really challenged and chased around the pocket."
Burrow has been chased by Myles Garrett, Za'Darius Smith, RoQuan Smith & the Ravens D, Aaron Donald, Jeff Simmons, Denico Autry, Bobby Wagner, Arik Armstead, Fred Warner and Nick Bosa. With all do respect, the Bills may get to Burrow a bunch, but on paper the front 7 isnt better than what Burrow has faced thus far.
