Dr. Trooth Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Bills are ranked 26th on defense. Bengals are rated 3rd on defense. Bills rank 3rd on offense and the Bengals 26th on offense. Me thinks this game is going to be tougher than most of the fans think. Also... Barnett leads the Bills in tackles. However, after that, the next 5 players with the most tackles are DBs. You've got to go all the way down to seven to find a DL (Darius) ranked seven on the Bills with 7 tackles. Seems to me the front seven had better kick it up a couple of notches. They are putting almost zero pressure on the opposing QBs (save for KC). We may be 3-0, compliments of the offense, thank Fitz and the gang for that, but the D needs to start showing up.

Scrappy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Bengals played 3 teams that will draft in the top ten & are 1-2, Bills played 2 teams that will draft in the top 15 & are 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Stats often lie. The Bills run defense has been very good to excellent, and it's ranked 26th. A bunch of those yards came on 3-4 reverses that gained 20 yards a pop. The pass defense has been abused, and it's leading the league in INTs. Two games were shootouts. The Chiefs and Raiders have great run offenses and we stopped them both. The Patriots have the best pass offense in the game (arguably, with Green Bay) and we gave up a ton of yards and points but we got four INTs, scored on one of them, and it led to 24 offensive points. Our defense, to me, has played fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I can't wait to see those juggernaut offenses from SF, Denver, and Cleveland start lighting up the scoreboards around the league now that they've gotten past the Bengals. The only way the BILLS lose this week is if they don't prepare and then play down to Cincinnati's level - basically beating themselves. The Bengals are one of the 5 worst teams in the NFL.

aussiebills Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 ^^^ Agreed, so their defense is ranked 3rd yer, well i expected them to be San Francisco have a poor QB at best The broncos dnt have a running game and the browns just dnt no how to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 the browns just dnt no how to score The Clowns are 2-1 so evidently they know how to score enough 67% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The Clowns are 2-1 so evidently they know how to score enough 67% of the time. You get to be 2-1 when you play 3 of the worst teams in the AFC to start your season. I guess the Colts and Dolphins have top notch defenses too, since the stats the Browns put up against them are remarkably similar to the game with the Bengals. Averaging 200 yards passing and 100 yards rushing a week means a record of about 4-12 when the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Bungals DL is one of the best in the league, no joke. I see them giving us problems. Id like to see a pass rush from us too. Still think we win though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I don't put too much emphasis on power rankings, but Don Banks has the Bills at 7 and the Bengals at 28. Apparently he is considering things other than statistics after three games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defense, to me, has played fine. Couldn't agree more. The Bills holding all 3 of those teams to 110-130 yards on the ground apiece is a tremendous stat. (Holding KC to it won't look that impressive by the end of the year with their RB out for 14 games but it was impressive as well.) I also think that the yardage and points put up against Oakland will look a lot more impressive by the time the season is done. If the Bills win this Sunday, and I expect them to win, I'm revising my prediction from 6-10 to 10-6 at a minimum. I'm really looking forward to this game to see how Chan gets them to prepare for a game they SHOULD win. I'm expecting him and the team to pass the test. These guys were entertaining to watch last year, now they're winning and entertaining. It's a good combination. If they can stay healthy that should continue.

ROCCEO Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Their QB looks like Rick Astley. 3-0 teams don't lose to guys who look like Rick Astley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Any given Sunday, but the Bills should win this comfortably. I could see where they could crash following the high from last week, but if they are going to take this to the next level then games like this are a must.
