Captain_Quint Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Giant-sized confidence ESPN: Bengals still on their bye? They lacked urgency, at times, in loss to Giants Lewis & Dalton Postgame News Conference End of the first half was almost bizarre. I think Gruden commented on it too. 2 minute drill with Dalton, Green and company, and they just meander down to the 50 and throw a hail mary. They have the weapons to make a go at it, but didnt try.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Bills Today: Starting jobs up for grabs The Bills record of 4-5 so far this season speaks to their inconsistency from one week to the next. After doing some self scouting during the bye week, Rex Ryan has opened up some starting jobs for competition. MARCELL DAREUS: "I AM CHOMPING AT THE BIT" (2:14) DT Marcell Dareus addressed the media inside the locker room topics include; what he did during the bye week, his status for Sundays' game, and wanting to get out on the field playing football.

Nanker Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Time for Mr. Big Puff to show up and start earning his 2016 salary. This is not the time to let the Bengals "find themselves" and pivot their season because it's a pivot for The Bills as well. Win and they still control their own destiny. Lose and they will have vanquished themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 This is basically a playoff game for us. I mean it's sad to say that, but it's reality. Our playoffs start this Sunday. Win and move on to next week. I hope the players look at it that way as well. If the Chiefs could run off a huge 10 game winning streak last season, we can go 6-1 right?

Utah John Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I think the reasons the Bills are underdogs are -- no reliable CBs and lousy safeties against Dalton and Green -- two of our three elite players (Watkins and Dareus) perennially out, and the third (McCoy) frequently hurt -- Wood injury destroys continuity on what was just an average O line to begin with. That said, none of the factors are necessarily killers. The Bills played very well except for the secondary against Seattle and their tough D and good O even without Watkins and Dareus, and the Bengals aren't in Seattle's class this year -- McCoy might be just fine this week -- Incognito is still a stud. The Bills need to go 6-1 the rest of the year, and Oakland is generally looking great, so all the rest are must-wins. Playoff mentality from here on out.

John from Riverside Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I will say this and move on front it I am really disappointed Duke Williams did not end up working out for us. I remember when he was drafted and was really excited about him......he looked like he had coverage ability in college and would knock the snot out of you to get that ball Then i kept waiting for it to happen and waited...... and waited...... And watched him become a total liability in coverage and waited..... and watched him get benched for Meeks.....who was equally bad and waited..... and today....he has been sent packing...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 @NickVeronica With Eric Wood down, Ryan Groy looks like next man up; Seantrel Henderson nearing return from Crohn's Disease #bills http://buffalonews.com/2016/11/16/bills-eric-wood-ryan-groy-looks-like-next-man-seantrel-henderson-nearing-return/ McCoy: I know Sammy’s close Bills RB LeSean McCoy knows that the Bills margin for error with a 4-5 record is thin. Subpar performances can’t happen the rest of the way. McCoy says the team has done a good job of sticking to the ‘one game at a time approach.’ He’s hoping they can come off the bye with a solid performance, get a road win and then hopefully get their top receiver back in the lineup. Dareus, Tate, Woods among limited Bills Bills head coach Rex Ryan said his team is the healthiest it’s been in a while and he’s got an injury report to prove it. Only DT Corbin Bryant was unable to practice Wednesday. A handful of players were limited. The only real question mark for Sunday’s game among the limited participants is DT Marcell Dareus, who is still working his way back from a groin injury. Dalton, Eifert, LaFell all limited for Bengals Coming off a Monday night game, it’s probably not surprising to see a handful of players take only limited reps in practice Wednesday. They’re less than 48 hours removed from their last game. QB Andy Dalton, TE Tyler Eifert and WR Brandon LaFell were among the Bengals cutting back on their practice participation Wednesday. What’s interesting about Dalton is he’s listed with a right shoulder injury, which is his throwing shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
