I’ve seen people saying cincy was on their way to a win but I just don’t see it. The way the game was going I think the bills would’ve won a shootout and at worst for us it was up in the air Edited January 3, 2023 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears march right down the field on their first drive as well, and then got pretty much nothing after. I liked how we were moving the ball offensively. That was shaping up to be one heck of a game, but will play again soon. Prayers for Hamlin!!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34-78-83 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Does Simms being "right" about Tre get cancelled out by him being completely wrong about our ability to run vs. the vaunted Bengals run D? Just checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking. I thought the PI was... i dunno - thats like the first play of the game and while there was some hand fighting it didn't seem to be that bad. The TD was quarters so... he has outside leverage and hamlin drove on the post underneath so it created a space. I'm not sure Tre can do much more than what he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already established that Tre won't be back to his full speed til likely next season, but he still has excellent technique. Under over coverages in our zone scheme will help hide the speed issues too, and you're right about the outside leverage but the recovery speed normally would be a little better. I'm just picking on Simms basically for saying the Bills WILL NOT be able to run vs Cinci 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's both slower, and still probably pretty rusty with no camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been called for holding or interference. Pretty much whole route he was all over him. He's been very grabby since coming back.

Nah not really. This should provide Tre some excellent motivation. That’s good for the Bills. Motivation wont matter in the short term when he cannot run full tilt on his knee. Last night it was blatantly evident. Hopefully Tre’s knee gets better, but I have my doubts. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not mentally ready to plant that leg yet along with a little loss of quickness. I have faith these will return in September. But expect the same during the playoffs.

It’s passed down only to the Tiger that best exemplifies leadership, maturity and poise, both on and off the field. its something that is earned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillenger4 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I posted this early in this thread - Tre is NOT what you guys think. Slap labels on him all you want but he is an average CB at best. He has good games vs weak opponents but when it's a "tough" game or it means something Tre is average. Not only do you throw at him you can run to his side too as he is a weak tackler. Hes scraed to hit like Teron or Elam. Simms is simply pointing out the obvious. And, Tre is not going to be any better next season. Please stop with the BS.. he is what he is. Average. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
