BuffaloFootballBeat Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 The lone Bengal: Ex-Cincy WR Brandon Tate says his former team is prepped to help Bills on Sunday The #Bills are rooting for the #Bengals harder than ever before. They need a Cincy W over the #Ravens to make the postseason. No one in BUF knows Cincy more than Brandon Tate. Tate's talked to former teammates this week and adds there's some extra reasoning for them to pull off a win because of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Good find! This reminds me of when Vince Williams from the Steelers told his brother Karlos that he’d buy him SB tickets that year if the Bills knocked off the Jets in 2015, sending the Steelers to the playoffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaviorPeterman Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 If the Bengals are motivated and play like they did last week against the Lions they can win this game especially if they want to send Marvin Lewis out on a high note and prevent a hated division rival from getting into the postseason. Another stat in the Bills favor is that the Bengals have won something like 7 of the last 10 against the Ravens, however worth noting a lot of those wins came during the Bengals playoffs seasons since 2011. Regardless still think this is the only viable path for the bills to make the playoffs (Winning at Miami and having the Ravens lose). Because asking both the Chargers and Titans to lose home games simply isn't realistic especially with the Chargers going up against a bad Raiders team.

buffalobloodfloridahome Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I wanna see some AJ Green magic this weekend. Gio Rocky Bernard although injured needs to play the game of his life. I hope they come to play and I'm sure they want to win this one and send their coach out on a win. Obviously I still think it's a long shot.

NewEra Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 As long as we win the game, I feel we’re headed in the right direction. It’s a game we’ve lost throughout the drought and that needs to change on Sunday. Whether or both the other teams win or lose, I just want to see this team come through and show some resolve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason the Bengals cant go in there and win a low scoring game...they have the defense to get after Flacco if they want to play. 5 minutes ago, SDS said: Unfortunately, our rules here don’t allow this.

Fadingpain Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Wow, what a poorly written piece. Let's hope the Bengals are fired up to win one for the Gipper on Sunday. Baltimore looked lousy last week; no sure why many think a loss at home to the Bengals is impossible....Ravens are a very average team and Flacco is playing very poorly right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You quote Tate, who says he has talked to his old mates and "they're up for this game" and "any given sunday" and "we'll see what happens". He doesn't quote any Bengal as saying they are, specifically trying to get the Bills into the playoffs. Also, Tate can help the Bills by kneeling on every touchback. He's averaging only 19 yards a return--and almost all come out of the EZ. Edited December 29, 2017 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
