RiotAct Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I have very little doubt we will beat Miami next week. So basically what it boils down to is, Mayor Brown needs to promise the whole city of Cincinnati a lifetime supply of chicken wings or something.

And if the ravens win, we can get in with a titans and Chargers loss (if we win too)? I think that’s how it breaks down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping the Bengals players try to get a W for Marvin Lewis in the stadium where he originally made his name. This will inevitably be an offseason discussion if this is what plays out The discussion should not be focused on a game the Bills likely weren't going to win in the midst of a slump by the QB and the defense ( mostly the QB) . It should be focused on why they lost a winnable game at CIN, ( unable to score in the red zone ) and a game at CAR when they only gave up 3 FGs. The Bills were not winning the Chargers game with either QB the way they were playing and particularly the way LA and Keenan Allen were playing. On another note , it looks like that Titans loss to SF is looming large in the Bills playoff chances slipping away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want to focus on what happened recently but Cinci and Carolina are both glaring losses that we should have won. I blame McD and Frasier for putting single coverage on AJ Green out wide with NO safety help in the 1st quarter. Dalton sees it immediately, and its a simple pitch and catch for 70 yards and an easy TD that ultimately was the difference in the game. What the hell were they thinking? Green is a hall of famer in his prime, their only weapon and its like we forgot all about it. Carolina too, just an anemic offense although Zay should have continued his route into the endzone when he saw the safety wasn't going to make it over in time. Rookie mistake but cost us the game. Just a couple plays from being 10-5 and playoff locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Tyrod should've done to the Panthers or Bengals what he hypothetically was going to do to the Chargers. Any realist knows Tyrod with his incessive 3 & outs would've lost to the Chargers by 14 pts. As so many fans have accurately mentioned this season was doomed by a perennially mediocre QB, an anemic offense run by a weak OC. Carolina- 3 pts NE- 3pts / 9 pts Tyrod couldn't find a way of rallying the team against weaker opponents like Cinncy & NY. Dump TT & RD, draft a promising pocket qb and a lot of these problems will go away. And finally yes our defense had its moments of struggling, but they had to be demoralized watching the O fail this year.

They stop the freaken Patriots, and Tyrod gives it right back to them 1.5 minutes later. Demoralizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 The Titans are going to have trouble vs Jacksonville but the Chargers and Ravens should both win vs the Raiders and Bengals respectively.
