They may win,they may lose, but I think it’s far from the slam dunk that you think it is. Bengals will certainly score points though I don’t think anyone is arguing that. it’s not so much overrating what the bengals are capable of as it is underrating what the bills are imo and you are putting far too much stock in a game from last season. Cincy was one of the best defenses in the league last year and this year they haven’t been nearly as good. By pretty much any advanced metric, the TB defense is better than cincy’s and we moved the ball quite well against them. SF is a mess with purdy and no Deebo, they are a sub .500 team without a doubt. This isn’t like the bengals went out and stymied the 2007 pats like you’re making it sound 😂. Despite that SF just had a few boneheaded turnovers…they racked up 460 yards. We will see how it plays out. We disagree on lots here.

I mean not as much as you think…I could absolutely see the bills scoring 30+ and you can’t I think that’s the only real difference. nobody is saying we’re gonna completely shut them down on offense that I’ve seen but I do think we can get a few stops both teams are completely different than last year Edited October 30, 2023 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not crazy to think they can't score 30 plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I would say most people don’t expect us to win. This is the type of game the Bills do win because of that. It’s so weird. need SuperJosh this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, McD will have had 10 days to have the team prepared. They'd better hit the field looking the part. How'd the Bengal OL look? Did you watch the game? Niners have a formidable Front 7. They couldn’t get any pressure ball was out quick. Burrow was under center more than I have seen before. Bengals will spread our defense apart. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I will settle for forcing a punt, something I am not sure McD’s defense is capable of against Burrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He let him loose for the first half Thursday, but then started to reel him in during the second half. He can't do that. Take the leash off for all 4 qtrs.

HOUSE Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 You need a balanced attack to beat the Bengals so running will be paramount. Also, no real pressure on Burrows and you will lose. Let me put it this way, NOT BETTING ON THIS GAME. GO BILLS 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't figure it out, then he will never get this team over the hump. The WHOLE dang team should have been at OBD yesterday watching the Bengals/Niners game, but I’d guess that they weren’t.

This is the week we really see the effects of losing your three stars on defense. Nah, miss me with this. We had Top 2 talent on Defense before those 3 injuries. With those injuries, we’re more middle of the pack. They still have Floyd, Rousseau, Oliver, Bernard, Johnson, Benford, Hyde and Poyer. We’ve been hit hard, but due to the talent level they began with, this isn’t some mash unit that people want to pretend they’ve become. It’s a tiresome excuse. That being said, there’s a reason so many people want us to get Josh another weapon. Sometimes elite defense doesn’t matter much. Eagles defense let them down in the Super Bowl.. when healthy Bills & Niners had the two most talented defenses this year… Niners defense is healthy and has been struggled big time for two weeks in a row against the Vikings and Bengals.

Exactly my point. If the Bengals can shred the elite defense of the niners what to you think they are going to do to the Bills in their stadium? We've already seen them dismantle the Bills defense two times last year. You think this Bills defense which may be worse than last year's defense can be successful? The only realistic chance for the Bills to win is if Josh Allen aka Clark Kent turns into superman. It's possible he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 We have 2 of the top football teams over the last 3 years meeting for an important mid season game. And a huge bulk of the coverage will be about someone that likely won't even be on the field. I don't like that the questions all week for the team will likely center around the Hamlin incident and put them back into that mode. This was for many of them one of the toughest moments of their life. It's really time to move on. It's also unfair to Damar. The kid is forever going to be known for this. Let him get on with his life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible he can. I think it’s about coaching, and I’m not going to give McDermott the injury excuse all year. We still have middle of the pack talent on defense and he needs to put them in positions to succeed Sunday Night. He did that against a less talented offense in Tampa. Sometimes they did, and sometimes, flukeyness aside, they didnt. I feel immediately better about our chances without whatever that Frazier-led defense we saw last year was.

No doubt McD is an upgrade over Fraizer. In fairness to McD, he just doesn't have the players to contain Cinci. You just can't lose your three best players on defense and say next man up or coach them up. This week the Bills fans will feel the impact of losing 3 superstars on defense. Make no mistake about it the Bills need the Allen that showed up in KC playoff game 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great point, however, this game is bout how Josh does against their defense, which was stifling and made the 49ers look silly. In the playoff game, our complete inability to get any offense going for most of the game was also a big reason why we lost.

We’ve already felt that. Mac Jones carved us up. We’re going to give up points. We need the offense to be back… and not “oh hey, they looked good early and then faded” back. That being said, we need our Defense to make a few plays/get a few stops. They didn’t look capable of that last year. The reason McDermott took over is so that they are capable .. and going from Top 2 talent Defense to Middle of the Pack Defense isn’t an excuse to not get a few stops/make a few plays, so that we can win if the Offense is truly starting to figure it out again.
