You sure are choosing to go about your business an...in interesting way. Good luck to you, and good luck to your Bengals this Sunday. I know I get a little too snarky with some of the antagonists, I'll try to do better. I do hope for a injury free game for both teams and that any Bills fans attending to have a wonderful time. Those I met last season were awesome people. 7 minutes ago, Mailman said: I despise those clowns. Probably even more than KC. The manufactured narratives are irritating (i.e., get your refunds) and aren't based in facts. Get your refunds was totally manufactured, but the league didnt handle the situation well in our opinion and was low hanging fruit. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost certain Elam has been on and off the injury report going back to camp and through the season. He was listed as questionable at least once I thought. He was listed as DNP on Wednesday Edited November 3, 2023 by Warriorspikes51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, we have no starters in danger of missing the game due to injuries. As to the defense I have continually stated that we give up way too many yards. It is kind of tricky stat wise though. We were awful vs the Browns vs the run - but a closer look reveals that we held them to under 2 yds per carry 9 out of 10 times and then give up a 20 yarder a couple times. The offense did NOTHING and the game got away in the rain, vs a great oline and RB, and the 4th Qtr they just stomped us. 49ers had 365 yards passing, but 156 came on 3 drives vs prevent defense that ended in zero points. We will always give up yards, we always have. With Burrow and Higgins healthy hopefully the offense can stay on the field a little longer which will help. Allen is always a dual threat and if he goes off I will not be surprised just because of who he is. Nope not the injury part, just the Bengals defense giving up the most big plays per game in the league part. I think your bolded part above addresses it better than your “interesting take” reply from earlier to the poster whose main point seemed to be that the Bengals D is bad. My brief research shows Bengals’ red zone defense is top 15, which probably helps balance out being the worst at giving up big plays. FWIW, the Bills are toward the bottom of the league in giving up big plays but unlike Bengals most of those are runs. I’d have guessed the Bills have a worse red zone defense but ours is top 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the epitome of bend dont break, we give up a ton of yards at times. Lou says "yards in stead of points". Basically worked out ok the last couple of years. Im not sure any stats can truly provide a clear picture of our team at this time. The offense was so screwed up the first 6 weeks it impacted everything. The Bills game will tell us if we have turned a corner or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only guess is that the rules favor the offense so much these days that the defense is playing with one hand tied behind its back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the general fan base loses perspective when they aren’t operating at maximum efficiency. We freak when we lose to the Pats, aren’t all together vs the Giants, etc. At the end of the day, we need this team humming in January. They’re going to be okay based on measurements such as these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, there would be a "questionable" designation assigned if it was bad. Nobody is pulling a hammy Thur/Fri then playing on a Sunday. IIRC LY, Gabe hurt his ankle Saturday (before Titans MNF) and listed as questionable. Ultimately he didnt play. All that to say, I think Benford is fine/prob missed a few reps that's all.
