Homey D. Clown Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 This is a very winnable game for the Bills, but to go ahead and call it a blowout is something I simply can't agree with definitively. I has the potential of becoming a blowout IF the defense plays like they did in KC, AND the offense plays like it did in the 2nd half of the last 2 games, but to say Cincy has no chance is kind of foolish. They have a running back that stomped us last year, and a QB that seems to be playing quite well despite being a rookie. If the Bills play like they have shown us they are capable of, they should win this game. The keys to this game will be how they respond after a huge win, and how well they can stay focused on executing on every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Marcell will knock Andy Dalton out of the game, then he'll eat a tube steak when he gets back to Buffalo I hope you meant "cube" steak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombstone56 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 First off, I'm new to this board, and let me start by saying I like what I'm seeing! I frequent the BBMB but this is a nice change of scenery! Anyways, the more I analyze this Bengals squad, the more confident I am that the Bills win by a large margin. I don't want to seem cocky, and trust me I'm not over looking this team (rankings aside, their defense is quite good) but I guarentee no one in the bills locker room is overlooking them either, and they will more than prepared come Sunday. It's the Bengals offense that makes me think we blow them out. It's quite possible that they're a less talented group than the Chiefs offense. At least the Chiefs have a proven winner in Cassel, a pro-bowl top 5 WR in Bowe, and a star Running Back in Charles (at least when we played them). QB Andy Dalton is certainly showing bright spots that he could turn out to be the Bengals long term QB, but theres no doubt that right now, he's a long term project, and looking just like he should... a rookie QB who makes good plays here and there, but also commits a lot of mistatkes. With Benson looking like he will be playing, I believe they're going to try and establish a run game early. I think that our Defense will continue to show their strength is run-stopping, forcing Dalton to throw more than he will be comfortable with... resulting in what could be a few turnovers. The guys at buddynixon.com talk a lot about how they feel the Bills get an easy win Sunday in the second half of their Tuesday Podcast. It's a good listen.

8-8 Forever? Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 They aren't talented enough to look past anyone, which is a good thing in this case. They know they need to stay focused on the current opponent which should give them a great chance at yet another win this week. If they play smart and virtually mistake free like they have been the first 3 weeks you have to like their chances against the Bungles. From Scrimmage we have the game. Turnovers and injuries in game can change everything. this is the NFL. all teams have talent. If we fumble away the opening kickoff like KC did and Fitz throws a pick 6 off of Dahani Jones' head, things can change in a hurry. Let's not make this Andy Dalton's coming out party. We've done it for so many others, from, Bert Jones to Ahmad Bradshaw, it can happen. Keep your powder dry until the second half of the season. Cockiness will get us no where at this point. Let's just sit back, grab the T.O. popcorn and enjoy the show for a while... shall we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickedface Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 i can see the bills giving up some early points and the offense not really getting it together until the 2nd quarter. we're not talking a 21 point thing. more like i could see the bengals getting up by like 10 before the offense gets it together.

West End Stench Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Someone needs to balance out all of this d*ck-riding: Cincy 23 Buffalo 14 Running game never gets going, Fitz has an average game (1 TD, 2 INT). Special teams gets burned and gives up a TD and short field to Cincy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I think the game will be fairly close with us winning it. If we take this game, we can probably make playoffs if we just play .500 the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I don't think it will be close. But not because the Bills will smoke them, Cincy does have a very underrated D, i just don't think the Bengals can match us score for score they went something like 2-for 21 on third down the last couple games. You cant stay with the number one scoring offense with that type of performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakesbills16 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Last in the league in 3rd down conversions at %23.68 http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/third-down-conversion-pct Good find. That's a good stat to pretty much sum up my thoughts of their offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
