And if we do get into a shoot out we have the best shoot out offense in the NFL.     We don't ever try that. The one time we put all the guys at the line to try and rush they played 7 or so yards off of chase on a 3rd and 2. All Burrow did was flick a quick pass to him and he easily ran for the first down. So instead of bringing that pressure and forcing burrow to make the tougher fade pass we just let him make a quick one for the easy first down. Bringing pressure while playing that far back defeats the purpose of said pressure but that's the Frasier way. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just played that badly and it made me realize that they would’ve had no chance going any further anyway. I feel the same way.  The season has felt incredibly long and I think the team was spent.   That said, I dont feel emotional about it because the Bills never really put up a fight. There was no emotion in the game to feed off of. The game was over after the first two Bengals' drives.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 This game proved once and for all that all that stat crap like DVOA and all the other random numbers people use to tell us how great this team is doesn’t mean sht.  This team hasn’t passed the eye test since since the first quarter of the season. They’ve been playing sloppy football and beating up on crappy teams.  On offense - I’d seriously consider letting Dorsey go. There has been ZERO flow or rhythm to this offense most of the season. Dorsey’s gameplan is backyard football. Hike the ball and let Josh make a play. There’s been way too much pressure on Josh to play perfect every game in order for us to win.  On Defense - Frazier needs to be fired. This defense is a joke, I don’t care what the stats say. Any time we line up against an elite team we get steamrolled. They don’t even put up a fight.  Personnel wise - Beane needs to take some heat. How many first and second rounders on the D-line were invisible against a practice squad o-line. Rousseau is the only one I’d keep. Oliver is over rated and needs to go after his 5th year. Basham - bust. Epenesa - bust.  We need to completely retool both lines because when we lose it’s because our trenches get destroyed. Take the next 2 years and get a bunch of mean, nasty physical offense and defensive lineman to change the character of this team.  They are too soft. Too finesse. Too much is put on Josh’s shoulders he’s the only tough bastard out there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so frustrating to watch and teams take advantage of it time and time again. This was playoff football and instead of trying to play with intensity he was fine with letting Joe Burrow smack him in the face over and over again. And we wonder why players on this team fold quickly when it's going bad. There is nothing from that coach that says I'll fix it next drive, instead we go out and do the same dam vanilla crap we always have.

SoMAn Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 3 minutes ago, Big Turk said:  Exactly what I said. They were emotionally and mentally spent. That manifests physically last, but when it does it looks like an all out collapse.  Allen echoed it saying "We just didn't have it today" That’s what it looked like- Like they were mentally spent. I don’t doubt that all the physical and emotional  obstacles they’ve endured throughout the season finally caught up with them. It didn’t help that the play calling was pedestrian. I think they were simply due for a ‘let-down’ game and this was it. in some way, I’d rather it happen now than in the Super Bowl. They would have been saddled with that Bills losing super bowls stigma going forward, making it harder to get there again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
