KOKBILLS

I don't think McD is in danger at all. But he's going to have to step up and make some decisions that are going to be awfully tough...Otherwise he will be in trouble this time next year...

Yep...Let the BBB memes die the death they deserve...

I guess this is the wrong time to remind Beane I would have Drafted DK Metcalf over Oliver that year, and he could have had him over Cody Ford anyway...

We need to concentrate on the trenches and get a little more old school if we ever expect to get close again. Also have to say that this Organization as a whole has got to stop thinking they are golden just because we have a great QB. I've been saying this for 2 years now and people on Buffalo radio mock folks like me who want to see the Bills get serious about fielding a more balanced team on Offense. Did Cincy just drop back and throw deep to those WR's all day? Nope... When you have a QB as good as Josh, it's literally a cheat code if you build an O-line that can play smash mouth...You don't have to run more than pass or any of that garbage. Andy Reid uses the short passing game and screens (as runs basically) a ton...The Ravens screened this Bengals D all game last week. But we are not balanced and it shows itself too often when we can't make the big plays on Offense over the top. On Defense, this team has been exposed. Offensive coordinators know how to scheme guys wide open and they just play the YAC game on us. OK...You're going to give us that much cushion, we'll just pitch and catch you to death. And the tackling...Oh my goodness it's bad...No way you can continue to play this zone D vs. the up and coming NFL Offenses. Too much talent on the field now. You have to match it with pressure, disruption at the line of scrimmage, and sure tackling...We have almost none of that. Very humbling experience...But honestly I should have known something like this was coming. They flirted with it all year...It was only a matter of time, and tbh I'm glad it did not come in the Super Bowl.

Well...We moved up in the Draft at least.

I'm never going to forget that teams gave blue prints during the year on how to slow the Bengals and Miami down and the Bills absolutely refused to take any of the free advice.

I can only hope this team is as humbled as I am right now...It may give them the humility to truly take a look at what needs to be fixed. No more plugging holes. This is going to take a massive amount of work. Status que is over. It failed. It just did. And if we continue on the schematic path we are on, more teams will catch up next year. We have to overhaul both lines and become a more balanced team overall...

Bill Oline flopping around like fish on the turf...

To extent I can agree...But schematically they have been destroyed in this game. It's really not much better than that Giants vs. Philly game last night other than the fact that the Giants turned it over more...It's the same thing though...Everything is a struggle on Offense, and the Defense allows chunk play after chunk play after chunk play. The Giants have an excuse. Their overall roster is weak...The Bills have zero excuse mainly because their Coaches give them so little to work with....

As if it was not bad enough...That PI gift wraps another FG...

That play was pretty much the whole game in a nutshell

Wonder how many plays total it has taken Cincy today to move into Bills territory...Seems like...5 maybe 6?...

Good grief...

Just used on Defense...It way too easy for them...Just used...

That's the best we can dial up on 3rd an goal huh?

If we can just get a hat on a LB every now and again there are big plays to be had running...

Teams have caught up. We saw it all year...The only difference is now we are playing an elite NFL team...If we think this is bad, rest assured Philly would put up a 50 burger on this D...

The clock is the only reason the Bengals did not score on that last drive as well...

Complete team choke job for a half...Offense, Defense, Coaching...Choke job...Not even remotely close to ready for this game preparation wise...I see Cover 1 guys throwing out stats all week on how bad Burrow has been career-wise with 3 man rushes...So they blitz him on key 3rd downs instead...I really can't blame the Bills players much because schematically they got used this half...They had zero chance with what was called. And they they executed what was called poorly...It really could not have been much worse were it not for one good TD drive... We're blessed to only be down by 10...

At this point we need to be better lucky than good...Because we certainly don't look good.

So that 3rd and 4 strategy on D...They blitz Burrow and dare him to throw to Chase 1 on 1 when it's 3rd and 4 and you're giving a 5 yard cushion?...That's a loser almost every time. Talk about being exposed by your own stupidity.

The way it's looked so far you have to picture this Bengals Offensive staff laughing at how easy it is to execute against this D...Laughable...

Time for Frazier and McD to dial up some stuff...

Complimentary football please...

Hope they got that crap out of their system. One of the worst quarters of football this team has played based on how easy it looked for the Bengals...
