Cowherd just said someone's getting fired if the Bills can't beat Cincy with 3 starting olineman down. 

 

I heard him say that too.  And that the pressure is all on the Bills.

 

Listen,  I don't care if Cincinnati's O-line was 100% healthy for this game.  This is a must-win for the Bills and I expect them to win.  The Championship window ain't going to stay open indefinitely.  The time is now.  It's a Super Bowl or bust season and we've known that from game 1.

Their o-line has been playing better without Collins and whichever guy was the second Bengal injured. I will say that Cappa could be a big loss for them

Cappa was the 2nd guy to get hurt.  So, are they playing better without Cappa or is it a big loss?

TJ Houshmandzadeh said that the Bengals Left tackle is a former 2nd round pick from Clemson and he's pretty good.  He thinks the guy will hold up.

Goodberry said he is Cody Ford 2.0. 

 

Said he's strong as an ox, but has horrible feet and can be beaten by speed. 

 

Lawson is a veteran, so he gets first crack. It would be interesting to see if Epenesa can get around him.

The thing for me is not only are they missing 3 offensive linemen, but one of the starters they aren’t missing is bad.  It’s not like Miami who had Connor Williams and terron armstead playing last week. Volson is probably the worst player on that offensive line when they’re all healthy. 
 

Miami had two bad/terrible offensive linemen hurt so they swapped in guys that were not much worse but they still had their two stalwart guys

And it’s not only the individual players, but the communication in a loud and hostile playoff environment.  Should be really tough on them

I am saying Cappa is the one offensive lineman that has played well for them this season so lets hope that I am totally wrong

?  Adeniji filled in for collins and he’s been terrible 

I will not argue-- as you may be right and I cant back it up -- In fact depending on what website you look at -- in this case PFF -- you are right

How is the pressure only on one team in a single elimination scenario anyway lol cowherd is a dolt. You think the players on the underdog team are like ‘well we were a small underdog so who cares’ 😂

We were missing 4 olinemen by halftime in that first dolphins game and nobody cared then lol interesting 

We had a lineman playing on a torn ACL because we were running out of bodies and Allen threw for 400 yards and two TDs

He said the Bills should win by 8-10 pts, but if Cincinnati didn't have O-line injuries, he would flip his prediction and pick Cinci by 8-10 pts.  Therefore ALL the pressure is on Buffalo.

Thinking o line injuries cause a 20 point swing shows how much of a ****ing morons he is

That doesn't make any sense. All the pressure is on both teams. It's win or go home.

LOL because firing a coach always works out so well for a team. 

Denver: 9-7 with Trevor Siemian unacceptable 1 year after we won the Superbowl, let's fire Kubiak and move on from Wade Phillips!

Denver since 2017: Waaaaah, we suck!  Haven't had a winning season since we fired Kubiak!

 

Cowherd can bite me.  Lots of things this depends upon; Cincy has rhythm passing game and Burrows can get the ball out quickly and function behind a patchwork OL, he's had to most of his career.  They don't depend much on the run, so maybe limited running chops won't hurt them.  And then, what do they do on Defense and what do we do on Offense?

 

Saying that Cincy is down 3 OLmen so if the Bills don't win the coaches should be fired is fools talk.

It also required a ton of failure by the players .. which isn’t what Dorsey can control.  
 

Nothing Dorsey can really do on the Beasley interception.  Should’ve been flagged, wasn’t.. unlucky bounce. 
 

Brown gets confused on the route and isn’t there to contest the Howard pick.  
 

Shakir drops a huge gain before halftime. 
 

Allen misses Davis back to back on deep throws that likely end the game. 
 

Allen or Singletary don’t read the blitz that allows an unblocked blitzer to get to Allen before he can protect the ball. 
 

If anyone thinks that hoping we make a ton of mistakes is a great gameplan, go for it .. blitz Allen all game. 

 

Execution ultimately falls on the coaches, but true - players have to run the right routes, catch the ball, protect the ball, and block.

 

DPIs are a complete mystery to me this season, but they certainly are calling less of them and allowing DBs to be more physical before the ball gets there.

 

The good news is that the Bills are middle of the pack on penalties as a team, and for a first year OC I think Dorsey and his staff can take some pride in that, and they have done a pretty good job getting plays in on time.

 

There were a few instances where Allen wanted the play faster, but I don't recall any leading to a delay of game.

 

There are a lot of positives out there that fly under the radar.

I hear you.  Let's face it, compared to what Miami started on offense last week, Cinci will be way way better..   and the Bills barely got by 34-31.  

Both teams have pressure.

That’s exactly what I was trying to say lol cincy isn’t one of those ‘lucky to be in the playoffs as a 7 seed’ type teams 

Exactly. Jacksonville and the Giants are the only teams left "just happy to be there." The Bengals are the defending AFC Champs who waited all season to get back to the Super Bowl to "right a wrong." You could tell that they were not focused during the first quarter of the regular season, like they just wanted to skip ahead to January.

SO, my son wears this cap to school today here in Cincinnati - He is asked by a teacher to take off his hat (but does not ask the students wearing Bengals caps to take off theirs).  Targeting my boy for rooting for his team?!  WTF!  I'm actually not that pissed but it would make a win on Sunday extra sweet!!  GO BILLS!!  Crush those lame tigers with a depleted offensive line!!

Shhh!  then don't tell them about this:

If this was the regular season, I would say that given how McDermott treats injuries that they would not play. But this is the playoffs, so I think both will give it a go.

 

Even during the regular season, guys who were designated questionable were something like 50/50 especially if they practiced all week OR were "full" on Friday.

If the Bengals win, my daughter is going to take so much heat from her band directors on Monday at 7:00am.

That teacher missed a golden teaching opportunity and really let your son and his classmates down in the process.

We should be sending you and your son a different hat to wear to school all the way up to the Super Bowl.
