We just don’t match up well with the Bengals. 4-4 will put us at 9-8, and we'd be lucky to win 4 games with the schedule that we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll get to 10-7, which should be enough. Unfortunately that probably means McDermott will not be fired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK, not sure how we get past teams like @Dallas, @Philly, @Miami even, KC at home. The Jets and NE already beat us, I wouldn't bet on us taking both of the other two. Even Denver will be a challenge. That should have been a gimme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I think the Bengals are overhyped. None of the other contenders are going to be scared of that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Yeah - figured this thread would be an easy one after this game. Check the 1st line. And we did overhype them. But I overhyped the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 It's exactly as I (and others) said... Stop using AVERAGE stats for the whole season to try & disguise RECENT performances. We are now 2-3 in our last 5 games, have an inept offense & bipolar defense, and we are struggling against every single team we've faced. Those early few blowout wins have zero bearing on how this team is playing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda Triangle Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Bengals didn’t look particularly impressive to me. Healthy roster, at home and some gifts from the refs. Not sure what the big deal is with them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those early few blowout wins have zero bearing on how this team is playing. The consensus top 4 teams in the league (Eagles, 49ers, Chiefs, Ravens) Eagles - 4-1 of last 5. Lost to the Zach Wilson led Jets. Beat the Commanders and Cowboys by one possession. 49ers - 2-3 of last 5. Lost to the PJ Walker led Cleveland Browns. Lost to the Vikings, and Bengals. 3 straight losses. Chiefs - 4-1 of last 5. Lost to Denver. Beat Miami and Minnesota by one possession. Ravens - 4-1 of last 5. Lost to Pittsburgh. Beat Titans and Cardinals by one possession. We need to squeak out the close games with wins, but every good team does not blow out every team weekly.

Dr.Sack Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Bengals looked good tonight, they are stingy with the ball and score early. I think the Bills inability to create more than 3 points on drives 2-8 was the game. You can’t have 7 drives in a row that yield 3 points and 2 turnovers. Clean up the turnovers, and it’s a tie game. Assume the Bengals finish as a Wild Card, it’s probably going to be a challenge to see them going on the road and beating KC, Jax, Baltimore. Miami clearly can be beaten by Cincy. So far as overhyping the Bengals, I just don’t think they have the running game, similar to Buffalo that can win a road playoff game. It will take a nearly flawless passing game from Burrow and turnovers. Tua will give them that. Mahomes, Lawrence and Jackson will likely not give the Bengals those chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 30 minutes ago, Freddie's Dead said: No, we're not. They are the real deal. They are a defensive team with an elite checkdown QB. He tried to muscle one throw and it died in the air. Mixon is nearing the end of the line and there is nothing behind him. For them to win they’ll need their defense to carry them, and I thought for as much as the Bills line is average at best, Hendrickson and Hubbard didn’t do a lot.
