3rd down stop!

14 points scored in the 1st three quarters and the O is easily the best unit on the field. Thats pretty sad.

Because youd rather punt and flip the field than force a play that isnt there? No clue if anyone else was open so maybe he missed a guy but without being tat the game there is no way to know.

Where the hell is the punt coverage on a short kick inside the 20?

And thats why you dont rush guys back from injury even if you "need them."

NS. I dont get wht people are watching. Its an easy catch if Sammy doesnt slip. I guess some people have a narrative they want to tell and they are sticking with it.

Cinci got the ball at mid field every single time and only leads by 3. ST needs to get their heads out if their asses.

Sammy hurt

Jsut take the touchback. Better dield position than running it out. Even if its a good return its likely to be a penalty.

People are ripping the O and D when the worst unit today has been the ST.

Ahh, great ST play once again.

Most called the game over very early last week too. Its what happens in these threads.

Yeah, given that the short area was cleared out he should have run.

On 3rd and 3 why were there no short routes?

Cant give this offense that type of field position over and over. No way they can keep them out of the endzone consistently when they only have to go have the field.

Fing special teams. Two drive starts at midfield already.

Not worried about the cold and EJ. I am worried about the cold and Shady's hammy, however.

If it's unlikely he travels to London I wonder why he was listed as questionable instead of doubtful.

Actually, that path led them to trade Cassel and he's number 2. Nice try though.

Well, the Bills are well versed in tire fire seasons. It sounds like he could contribute immediately if your goal is to recapture the recent past.

Hah, yeah, he's pretty much it.

Yeah, thats my thiught. EJ is way more familiar with Sammy, Woods and Hogan anyway. Not that big of a loss, particularly since Goodwin is back and can be used to take the top off the D. I see Woods having a big impact today.

If we could just create a hybrid QB that combines EJ and TT we'd be set.

EJ isnt throwing for 300 yards today unless the Bills get way behind. It has nothing to do with EJ's ability and everything to do with the offensive system. They simply do not drop back to throw often enough to get 300 yards unless there are multiple big plays from the passing game. If he dropped back 30 times he'd have to average a ridiculous 10ypa to get to 300. Id be happy if he completed 60+% of his paases for 7-8ypa and led the Bills to 24 or more points while not having a plethora of 3 and outs. That gives the D, playing at home, the opportunity to show they are elite and stop the high powered Bengals.

This offense has been the drive equivillant to CJ Spillers runs. Way too many drives which end in 3 and out followed by a TD drive or two which resulted from a big play. In the end the numbers look decent but its not what you really want in terms of consistency.
