Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) 20 hours ago, newcam2012 said: A few things that make me less confident. Cinci defense plays Mahomes exceptionally well. Think they will have a similar game plan to stop Allen especially his legs. Cinci has 3 very good WRs who are all excellent at catching contested balls. Chase is a threat at all times to take it to the house. Burrows is a big time elite player in big games. He's a winner. Why are we kissing this teams behind? We beat KC on the road by 4, they beat KC by 3 at home. They aren’t even masters of their own division, losing to Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cleveland. They score less than the Bills, they give up more points than the Bills and we sit here and just play foot stool to these guys. I agree they are capable, but they’re chirping a lot and we have sell out fans that just agree with the media and them.

L Ron Burgundy Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Caesar said: Is this satire? "They're not like Miami with timing routes". 90% of the Bengals passing offense is timing routes, Burrow has the second fastest release by 1/10th of a second to Brady for a reason. "They're more like having a few Gabe Daviseseses as well." Bengals have the best WR room in the NFL. "Chase can't run a full route tree and could be taken out by tough coverage". Chase is an elite route runner, touted as the best in a long time coming out of college. You think Chase doesn't get "tough coverage" every game? "Higgins is as effective for them as Gabe Davis is for us." Tee already has over 1000 yds receiving this season. He is rated as a #1 receiver, while many here do not consider Gabe a solid #2.... Did I just fall for a satire post? Yes, Bengals fan here. Our fanbase has always like the Bills. I see a lot of hate here though... big game and potential rivalry does that I guess? No doubt Lamar and Josh have different styles, but containing the pocket and spying is the same concept on D. We are terrible on QB run design plays, way worse than scrambles. This will e a huge test for the Bengals. Biggest game of the season. I'll be there Monday, should be a great one. Agree with this. Bengals recievers are elite, probably best in the league. Our D has to step up big. Curious what our plan is. Hope Tre uses this game to round out into form. The reason imo Josh is best in the league is that he does more with less.

The Ravens are very strong vs us against our run game, Joe in particular. Boyd has made the comment about the Bills secondary multiple times - saying they dont need to run exotics because the Bills are good. When asked about the CBs he said they are not the best we have seen. Do you disagree? Do you think White and the revolving door on the other side are tops in the league? (We really wanted Elam surprised he hasnt played more?) If the Bills go 4-4 this place would explode. Im not educating just bringing the entire conversation while some are getting upset and offended by partial quotes. Cleveland on Halloween was bad, but we had issues on that day. 1st game Chase was out, LT was playing on a dislocated kneecap and a few hours before the game the team was informed that a young assistant coach had died (Zimmer's son). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that 2 very good football teams are going head-to-head with the outcome extremely important not only for the 2 teams playing the game but for the KC Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens too. I want to take this moment to comment at the way games like this are viewed compared to many years ago when I started watching football. In the past, this game would get "hyped" for the importance of the game. Fans and sportswriters would comment on its importance and talk about how great it will be to actually "watch the game and see what happens". Today, it seems to me, all that has changed. It's all about trying to prove, one way or another, ahead of time what the outcome will be through a myriad of stats and projections and I'm sorry to say "bullcrap". I for one, prefer to sit back and wait for these 2 talented teams to fight it out and enjoy the game for what it is, a great football game. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who still thinks this way? I will add one more thing. It's awesome that my hometown team is involved in this game! Go Bills! Happy New Year! Happy new year to you too in fair Colorado. I want to expand on your post. Talking about player matchups is fair game. But as we both know if games were meant to be played on paper than allll those stats might have some validity in helping determine who might win and why. But the truth is that gamedays are a unique in as much as whatever the happens on the field and ultimately Scoreboard at the end is what really matters. Any given Sunday for a team to play their hearts out WIN by makin more plays than the other team. All the rhetoric and trying to "Prove" who WILL win is an exercise in futility. That is precisely why I take all that with a grain of salt. Any given Sunday Game days can be stressful but they are oh so much fun. Between the lines and dominating is what we all want to see on Monday. BRING IT But even if the Bills don't win in cinci they are still In the Playoffs as AFC _East Champs.

These are veteran players, they would know whether they should or should not be dropping bulletin board material (even if it is mixed in with some praise. My guess is that players and/or coaches feel that on this matchup it is on their best interest to be cocky/disrespectful of the opponent. The problem is their defense needs to be the cocky ***** talkers. It's almost always the case but our defense is a bend don't break and bring the smack on the field type. They play to their opponents a lot, too. To have motivation for Shaq, Phillips, Oliver, Milano or Poyer is powerful. To get in the head of the offense is going to do a lot more. They're younger and impressionable - Davis, McKenzie, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I live in Cincinnati. Our board has the most open policy of every board in the NFL when it comes to opposing fans and outright trolls. It’s both a strength and a weakness. Agree, I have lived south of Dayton since 2013. I’ve watched the rise of the Dalton era, watched the build a secondary full of first rounders - Hall, Newman, Nelson, Pac Man, Taylor Mays. Watched them build a WR group with Sanu, Marvin Jones, how they could have been even scarier with an healthy Eifert, and they got worse when they left in FA, leaving Boyd. So when I get told I don’t know anything, maybe if you were talking other franchises they’d be right. But I’ve lived all over Ohio since 2007, so I know the Browns and Bengals very well. I listen to a ton of local radio. And you’re right, that stadium was empty, you could give away tickets. I’ve been there. So no disrespect in that sense to their fans, they hadn’t won a Playoff game since 1990 before last year. You get a true franchise QB, I get it, get excited. But now you’re going on other teams message boards? And I’m supposed to clap like a seal? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 3 hours ago, Straight Hucklebuck said: Well the media is kissing Burrow’s rump, Skip is now proclaiming Burrow has surpassed Mahomes. Your third WR is talking about how the Bills secondary is basic and not the best they’ve played. Mixon is now chiming in that everything runs through Cincinnati now. You score 26 ppg, your team give up 20 ppg. Nobody is scared of the Bengals. three teams in your own division have beaten you. I wouldn’t call it fear the bills, fear, nobody I do think there should be a healthy amount of respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 All the talk is just hot air. The Bills currently possess the playoff equivalent of a Wonka Golden Ticket- the #1 overall seed in the AFC. They have what every team covets, and they must fend off all challengers. Simple as that. The opponent can talk all they want - Allen and Co.have to get the job done. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
