TampaBillsJunkie Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 50/50 straight up. I think this game goes either way. We get the bounces and the calls or we don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) the Bills win in large part will be dependent on both Dorsey and Frazier dialing in winning game plans. I realize that is stating the obvious. But it imo will be crucial for they draw up plays that attempt to expose any weaknesses the Bills can exploit. Their OL is obviously one of those areas.. I really hope the Bills D Line shows up in a big way on Sunday. Crucial IMO. If they can and do we likely will win. If they cannot we might not. Probably won't. 🤷♀️ Edited January 18, 2023 by muppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'm pretty much 50-50 on this one; two great teams with stud QBs on long winning streaks - it is truly anyone's game. Can't wait to see it unfold! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Gonna be honest, not very confident. Even when Josh isn't turning it over, others certainly step up to fill that void. Seems like this team finds a way to make things a bit tougher than necessary & a bit too often. The Bengals O-line is banged up, but ours just isn't good even when healthy. Morse is good, but the rest range from average to an active risk to Josh's health. Burrow & the Bengals also went through this last year & emerged in the SB (despite not playing particularly great in any of their wins). They KNOW they can do it & have done so. Our team is used to just getting close, and it's hard to know how that shapes a guy's mentality. For Josh, he could be pushing himself even harder & be more motivated than ever. For others, they could be waiting for that proverbial other shoe to drop in the back of their minds. Many of us saw the latter playout with those 4 straight SB losses. It seemed like no matter how great the team was, they found a way to play their worst in the big game. So yeah, I'm not sure what to make of this game.

But that is what I see… Josh went from the best player in the NFL…. To someone easily not the best player in the NFL….. Last spring I didn’t think an OC could have that kind of effect on a vet QB but there’s no denying it. The Giants are now running our offense and we are….. not. Allen's stats refute this 100%. In fact by almost any statistical measure Allen had a better year in 2022 under Dorsey then he did in 2021 with DaBall. And our offense performed just as well if not better. And this was seen in our having a better record in 2022 then we did in 2021. Allen through 17 games in 2021: 5170 total yards; 42 total TD's; 18 total TO's Allen through 17 games (I'm including Miami playoff game to make it an apples to apples comparison) in 2022: 5417 total yards; 45 total TD's; 22 total TO's I think you're making the mistake of comparing Allen's two remarkable playoff game performances in 2021 to the entire 2022 season.

On "Speak for Yourself" Shady and Acho were discussing Josh's turnovers as of late and Shady brings up a great point at the 6:00 minute mark. Josh tends to play down to his competition and gets reckless at times. The bigger the game the better he performs. Pundits say if he plays like that against KC they'll lose. But as Shady mentions, he doesn't play like that against KC. In his last 3 games at KC Josh has 10 TDs and ZERO INTs. And if it wasn't for 13 seconds he'd be 3-0. He brings some head scratching bad decisions but the good outweighs that by a ton. Josh shows up when it counts. This video is why I jump to defend Allen. It's a perfect example of the cheery picking and outright lying by omission that these "analysts" use to paint Allen as out of control and reckless. Take that compilation of bad Allen plays that the one guy uses to show that Allen has been this way since day one. One of the game clips is from the 2020 season playoff game against the Colts. The replay showing Allen taking a sack and fumbling late in the game. But we recovered the ball. So let's see the REST OF THE STORY. In only his 2nd playoff game Allen was spectacular as the Bills won their first playoff game in 25 years. Allen's stats that day: 26 - 35 for 324 yards & 2 TD's; 11 rushes for 54 yards & 1 TD. Allen did not turn the ball over in that game. Showing a clip of Allen's one bad play to try to support your position while ignoring how well he played over the entire game is proof of that analyst's bias. This is why I don't believe much of anything these fools say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I don't believe much of anything these fools say. It's got to be their narrative for now. Most of it comes from known hater Nick Wright. He is jealous people put Allen up there with Mahomes so he creates these narrotives. First it was Rollarcoaster Allen. Allen has a good QBR then bad.... and completely ignores Mahomes does the same. He also completely ignores all of Allen's rushing numbers. So all this year it was Allen was throwing picks nonstop.... all of a sudden Mahomes caught up to him in INTs so he changed it to fumbles (not even turnovers... just fumbles) and INTs. For reference: Allen has 19 turnovers this year, Burrow has 14, Mahomes has 12 (no fumbles). Last year Allen had 18, Burrow had 16, Mahomes had 17. So in two years: Allen has 37 TOs, Burrow has 30 and Mahomes had 29. That means that over the last two year Allen averages one more turnover per 4 games compared to Mahomes..... it's hardly the issue the media is making it sound like. Meanwhile sacks in the last two years: Mahomes: 54 Allen: 59 Burrow: 92 Which means that Burrow averages an extra sack per game compared to Allen (not completely his fault). I'll take the extra turnover every 4 games versus one sack a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo44 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Buffalo will win this week: (1) we're at home, huge advantage (2) Cinci Oline is a mess (3) Cinco Dline is average, as are their LBs, their secondary is poor. (Eli Apple is their top CB - enough said. (4) If this isn't the year fate-wise, not sure when it ever will be? Feels like the year New Orleans won the Superbowl (5) Got a feeling a star will be born, thinking James Cook (6) We will win if we don't beat ourselves.

Shortchaz Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 If these 2 teams play 10 times it’s probably 4-4 with 2 ties. I don’t like the bills’ style (of football, I.e. philosophy on either side of the ball) but they win games. I will say that I think the bills can beat any team if they are healthy and eliminate mistakes. Hell, they beat a lot of teams while injured and making mistakes. the bills have problems that can only be fixed in the offseason so I’m just going to hope for the best. Hopefully josh makes enough plays and doesn’t make too many errors. I guess this is fandom with a gunslinger quarterback. Before last weekend I would’ve had the bills at 40% to beat the bengals, now I see it as 60%. the spread keeps getting bigger so there has to be something to that.

Realist Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I'm actually feeling better and better about this game as the week goes on.

mjt328 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Week 2 was probably the last time we saw the Bills play at their peak, and it was amazing. That team would have smashed the Bengals. But I'm not sure we can get back to that level without Micah Hyde and Von Miller both playing. The team we've seen since the bye has been very inconsistent. - The offense either slumps for 2-3 quarters, or it puts up lots of yards/points and turns the ball over. - The defense seems to hold strong until they have a chance to put the game away, and then they let up big plays. - Even our special teams seems to be having costly mistakes at the wrong times. Can the Bills finally cutback on the mistakes? Turnovers. Easy drops. Mental errors. Can our defensive backs make some big plays, and keep this from becoming a total shoot-out? The Bills are the better team when they play clean. It's just hard to picture them putting it all together, when we haven't really seen it happen since halftime of the Packers game.

78thealltimegreat Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) The Bengals got blown out by the Cleveland browns and lost to Cooper Rush. They aren’t a juggernaut especially with 3 backup linemen. The Ravens D is one thing but the Ravens O with Tyler Huntley literally marched up and down the field on them. The Bengals rely heavily on you making mistakes. if the Bills don’t they win this game handily. if the Bills do well grab the pepto in the 4th quarter.
