26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Is an upset brewing in Tampa Bay?Elliot Harrison predicts the score of every game. Buffalo Bills 16, Cincinnati Bengals 14Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS The Bills win on the strength of the stingiest defense in pro football. Through four games, Sean McDermott's group is allowing a scant 13.5 points per game. There were times early in the season when you wondered whether Andy Dalton could get his team to double-digit scoring. The last two weeks have seen a resurgence in the Bengals' offense. Back to Buffalo, though, a team that just beat the Broncos and Falcons in successive weeks. No one is paying attention. Oh, and Tyrod Taylor is still underrated. Back to McDermott's defense: The unit has seven takeaways (tied for fourth) and is allowing a not-robust 4.7 yards per play (fifth in the NFL). So, basically, no flukiness here. #BUFvsCIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 ...need to get to Dalton early and often....since the Zampese firing, he is playing better.......need to deflate that confidence.....Bflo's surprising secondary, thought to be a glaring weakness pre-season, will have to corral AJ...this is doable gang......McD and staff is WAY BETTER than Marvin as far as in game adjustments IMO..............

buffaloboyinATL Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 It is obvious that the Bills are about 20 times better than last year. However I do not believe they are a contender and are certainly due for a stinker. 37-12 bengals. We are also due to blow out a team in a game that looks like it should have been close. I vote we do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Now that the Putz won this game became more important. We have to keep pace with them win for win We are also due to blow out a team in a game that looks like it should have been close. I vote we do that. That may happen but I doubt it will be this Sunday. 16 points by the offense against the Falcons. We need more than that.

eball Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 FWIW, a colleague of mine who is a Bungles fan said if the Bills score 20 they'll win. He said they played one good half against GB but then fell apart, and he completely discounted the Browns' win because the Browns are so awful.

He said they played one good half against GB but then fell apart, and he completely discounted the Browns' win because the Browns are so awful. This is what I saw too watching the GB game and doing the short cut of the Browns game. In the GB game their offense didnt score a TD for almost the last 3 quarters of the game. The Browns are comically and tragically bad (tears of laughter and despair). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Greg Gabriel's Bills-Bengals Preview By Greg Gabriel, Buffalo Sports Page NFL Expert The Bills are off to one of their best starts in years, with a 3-1 record. That includes wins over the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons, two of the better teams in each conference. This week the Bills travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals Sunday afternoon. Cincinnati got off to a slow start, losing their first three games to Baltimore, Houston and Green Bay before having a breakout win at Cleveland last week. The Bengals put up 31 points in that game and now want to show the home crowd that they are much better than originally perceived. Cincinnati is always one of the better coached teams in the NFL and they have some play- makers on both sides of the ball. So this is a game the young Bills cannot get to over confident about. If that happens they will come home with a loss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Bengals are cornered and offer a stingy run defense. After flubbing the Ravens game they just missed on Houston and Green Bay, before trouncing Cleveland. I don't see them as a basement dweller team at all.

Royale with Cheese Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) This game is still worrying me. I like the match up on paper, specifically our defensive line vs their offensive line but sometimes Dalton has huge games. He's an inconsistent QB but when he's on, he looks MVP like. Hope it's not Sunday. Not only that, they have a very good defense. Edited October 6, 2017 by Royale with Cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
