Man just about every single person on ESPN picking the Bengals

Media may seem that they are favoring Cincinnati Bengals because the ones choosing Bengals are the most vocal. They make the most noise. Also, they're trying to garner clicks and ratings for their show; whatever they're on.

 

The more noise they make, the more likely all that noise for Bengals gonna back fire.

I would rather be the underdog in the media, it seems to help Josh get over the pressure a little bit. 

 

 

Josh doesn't have any problem with pressure...he was slinging it all over the place on Sunday.  The turnovers were bad but none were "awful" mistakes by Josh.

Every narrative I read now is "bumbling Allen."   The Bills COULD win, but our many turnovers will result in a loss.

 

Give me a break.  He was perfect in the postseason last year.  The team got all of their mistakes out of the way against Miami.

 

I'm not usually one to be over-confident, but I don't think this one is particularly close, especially w/ Cincy's O-line situation.  We're going to look like we did for some of those games in September & October.

 

The narrative about a bumbling Allen is correct, sorry, I know it is a bummer but it is real.

there's absolutely massive pressure on the Bills to at least get to the AFCC game.  

As there should be....McDermott has to get over the hump or risk wasting peak josh allen 🤔..Daboll goes to Giants,turns Danny Dimes into a josh allen clone and is front runner for coach of the year after going into Minnesota and knocking vikes out with a receiver McDermott didn't even think was good enough to be on our roster

Balderdash.  "Bumbling" Allen made about five or six throws in that game no other NFL QB even attempts.  Brown cut off his route on the first INT, Beasley had the ball bounce off his chest on the 2nd, and Josh was blindsided to lose the fumble for the third TO.  In exactly what way is Josh "bumbling."  These are clownish takes.

So is it the case that every time he throws an interception, we're right back to he's regressing and playing like his rookie year again (when he had absolutely nothing on offense) ?

 

Or is this really based on the Miami game, because the week before against the Patriots nobody seemed to have a problem with the deep balls? 

 

So really, what we have is, he better play perfect. 

 

Checkdowns, mixed with deep shots, need him to run, but also slide, need him to not get conservative, but we need to score 30+ as well to make ourselves feel good.

Correct imo

 

Bills had two TEs lined up over that blitz and Allen's progression started to the other side of the field

 

Have to think one of them missed their assignment to stay in and block

2 ints and three fumbles, be in denial all you want to.  Yes int one was off Beasley, and one fumble he wasnt even touched and lost the bal...it is football. How about the Minnesota game, was that not bumbling?    Not clownish takes at all, factual realistic takes.

The Bengals have played more mistake-free football than the Bills by a wide margin, and if the game becomes a shootout the Bengals have two elite weapons (Chase, Boyd) compared to our one (Diggs).

 

Can’t hate on anyone on the outside who picks them in this game, there’s enough objective reasons to justify it. 🤷‍♂️

Is Boyd elite?

 Did I write he was regressing; did I say he had to be perfect, no so don't put words.

 

The narrative of "bumbling" exists because it is real.  If you can't be intellectually honest about it just put me on ignore.
