At least the weather should be better than the last 2 weeks

Josh will need to play better next week but the Bengals are beatable. They have sloppy games just like we do. 


I agree. The whistle should have blown. Said it in the thread. His progress was stopped and was being pushed backwards. 

Exactly! No fumble ball is placed on the 5 yd line… his forward progress. But since he was drove back 3-4 yds then fumbles, it’s not really forward progress if he fumbles it after being pushed back 3-4 yds….

 

You can’t have it both ways. Yes the whistle should have blown after he was pushed back a couple yds.

That fumble was crap…. Stevenson was stopped at the 5 yd line… pushed back 4 yds by 3 bengals, then ball punched out on the 9 yd line. 
 

If Stevenson doesn’t fumble that ball is placed on the 5 yd line. So how is it a fumble on the 9 after being pushed back 4 yds?! 
 

Its forward progress until a fumble happens?

 

Maybe he should have two hands on the ball so it wouldn't have mattered? Stevenson is showing he is terrible at situational awareness two weeks in a row.

Only if the Bills bring their A Game and they don't seem to remember where they put their "A Game" (for safe keeping?).

 

Sure glad we won the division but...

 

 I think we can beat them without our A game. I mean most of our wins this year we didn't have our A game. At the most you can say we brought our A game is 3 times. Against the Rams, Titans & Steelers. Offensively we didn't have our A game at KC and still won.

 

 Cincy is playing well right now, but it's nothing we haven't seen this year. You could argue the Bengals should've lost today to the Pats after being up 22-0 late in the 3rd. We won comfortably against the Pats just a few weeks ago.

I could care less who it was, or what happened last week, or two hands etc…

 

I just ask, if there were no fumble, why would it be placed at the 5. Cause we all know it would have. You can’t have forward progress stopped and then allow the defense to push the player 4 yards back and punch the ball.

 

We would all be beyond pisssed off if that happened to Buffalo.

A game vs Rams? Don’t think so - it was 10-10 at half and we had committed 3 turnovers

Bengals should have lost to,the terrible Patriots. Bills should be favorites.

We lost to the terrible Jets.  Exaggerating but we've had our low moments too.  While we've scored more points the Bengals have way more near superstar caliber players on offense.   Imo we should not be favored away.   Could be the game of the season.

Bills were 1.5 favorites even before the two played today.

 

It’s imperative we beat CIN next week and lock up the 1 seed, because it’d all but ensure KC and CIN have to face off while the Bills get the 4 or 5 seed in the divisional round. 

 

A win next week will not lock up the number 1 seed, KC is still lurking. If they win out and we lose one, it's theirs.

We had 4 turnovers against the Rams so I am not even sure then.

Won't lock it up but trouncing the Pats in the final game of the year both will feel fantastic AND lock it up.

This game will definitely decide the #1 seed.  It will be interesting to see if the Bills match up well with Cinci.  

 

As we’ve seen, Kansas City has all kinds of trouble with Cincinnati,  and the Bills (in the playoffs) have not fared well against KC.

But who knows… Buffalo might match up well with the Bengals?  We shall see.

I have been hearing this statement for weeks now, yet they have won 6 in a row. The Bengals are also playing really well, but they also almost lost a 22 point lead today, had to come back from 17 down last week so they have major flaws as well.

 

The Bills don’t NEED to play well in all 3 phases to win. Get a defensive game like they did today and that’s going to go a long way towards a win. They just need to play better than the Bengals do next week-they have 12 wins for a reason this year, I’m confident they will put together a good plan for next week too

Agree !!! 
I hope we continue running the ball  because this offense with running game would be a nightmare to defend !!!

Remember, the Bengals only beat the Bucs because they turned the ball over on 4 straight possessions. They are not actually playing all that well right now, but just like in the playoffs last year they are getting extremely lucky. If Stevenson doesn’t fumble today they would have lost. The Bills have to get pressure with four and get some sacks on Burrow. Yes, Chase and Higgins will make plays but their secondary gives up plays and the weather should be good. I have watched at least part of every Bengals game this year and I really like the Bills chances.

The Bengals are a good team but are closer to being in the same league as Miami and the Ravens than they are the Bills league.

I don’t know man.  They went to the SB last year and are on a 7 game win streak right now .  Trying to rank the Bills, Bengals and Chiefs is really hard.

BenGals are scary if they protect Burrow, the guy is a pure QB.

 

Allen & Mahomes are QBs who are better when things go haywire
