Cinci won the toss and chose to receive.    I’d do that, too, with our offense (struggles acknowledged).

 

 

I think this is telling in a couple of ways.  I think we as a team (more recently) get in our heads and when it rains it pours.  If I’m an opposing coach with a halfway decent offense I’m taking the ball first every time and hoping that we get desperate early in an effort to make a play.  Also think it’s indicative that they don’t think we can stop their offense.

Should just watch the snow game over. Be less frustrating

Are we really going into this game w the same gameplan on D? We are going to get killed 

Definitely not the same game plan.  We're blitzing and giving up quick passes and last year we were sitting back and getting killed in zone with no pass rush

That start should have calmed Josh down a bit though … he won’t have to do everything today 

Lol

[PatB]

Flawless drive by Cinci. You have to give them credit.

 

[zow2]

Incoming.  3 and out.  

 

 

Just kidding... hope not.

[RobbRiddick]

Chris Collinsworth meets Joe Burrow

 

[Tulsabillsfanz]

I don’t think Burrow had to make one throw with a defender within 5 yards of the receiver.  Our zone defense isn’t working. 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

3 games vs Cincinnati and 3 times they go right through our defense on the opening drive.

[The 9 Isles]

McDermotts defence against the bengals is abominable 

[78thealltimegreat]

We have to remember the likes of Baker Mayfield and Mac Jones drove up a down on this D. I’m sure Joe Burrow is slightly better then those guys.

Josh gonna need to get us 35 tonight. Just such a bad matchup 

Probably 40+

[Pokebball]

Every receiver, wide open

Time to throw Joseph and Douglas in

Joseph was in there

[Breakout Squad]

Can’t play soft in coverage. Is history really gonna repeat itself?

[sonyab1974]

Baby Josh and Joe awwwww! 🥰

[Iverwig]

Granted it’s the first series but considering the last couple times these two teams played it’s as if the Bengals already know they will be able to do what they want against the Bills. If Josh is not Superman tonight this will get ugly real quick. 

[Governor]

I sure am glad McD is calling the defense now. Lol

Why do the Bills always give receivers free release.  Even when they play tight, they let them release free off the line.  No contact at all.

Because we play like pussies

Was any play even contested there?

 

Absolutely pathetic 

 

Had them in one 3rd down but Benford misplayed the sticks

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

Did they forget part of the team?

 

shaq Lawson dropping into coverage?

 

or even playing this early? 

[Lionel Hutz]

Are we sure McDermott wasn’t calling the plays even when Frazier was here?

[stevestojan]

Great job McSlappy. 
 

I just love how people are berated on here whenever they mention he should be on the hot seat. 
 

He was handed a near all pro team and got us a couple division titles. Whipty-*****-do. 
 

I’m not saying fire him. But to suggest it’s a preposterous idea is not reasonable either. 

[Milanos Milano]

McD just isn’t cutting it. 

[Allen2Moulds]

Why is Benford playing off on 3ed and 2, and back back peddling 

[TheWeatherMan]

Did Joe even have to go to his second look once?  Primary option wide open every play. 

[SirAndrew]

Sad kick return. 

[bigduke6]

fantastic start.  nice run on the kickoff...

[zow2]

Just don't get blown out. I can accept a hard fought loss but don't lay down like dogs

[Hsker4life]

Why bring that out. Dumb.

[PayDaBill$]

McDummy just lulling them into a false sense of security lamo

Poyer can not cover anyone one with decent speed.

That's why he is moved to WLB. 

[HurlyBurly51]

I'm sure we're just overhyping the Bengals...

[OZBILLS]

[BuffaloBaumer]

28-3 at half, book it

[BobChalmers]

I'm done waiting fot this buffoon McDermott to prove he's even a good DC

[Johnnycage46]

Start at the 25? Naaaaaa

[Irish Dave]

I fully expect 3 and out

 

[The Wiz]

here come the shotgun run, shotgun run and hail mary.

I noticed the same thing. Let's play 10 yards off to cut off the deep route on 3 rd and 2.

On a giant blocking TE nonetheless
