Well the bengals definitely have this d figured out.  Hopefully mcd can find an adjustment. 

I hope our DL will wear down the Bengals OL and get sniffs at Burrow or this could be a long night

They zoomed on Poyer 3 times after bad plays. He was only involved in one of them. 

You’re right, they had a meeting beforehand to plan it. It’s a conspiracy. 😒

He's had a whole season to do that.

Get Dodson, Settle, and Phillips out. Useless. 

 

Settle has been getting pressure

Our defense has absolutely no answers for this offense

 

Burrow man.  He's just too accurate with all that short and medium stuff.

Bengals would have scored a TD on this drive regardless

 

You might be softer than the Bills D. 

[Carmel Corn]

The best thing for our defense would be Dodson getting hurt and replaced

No way the offense can keep up with this barrage. The defense is just plain awful.

I predict a game very similar to the 13 s game tonight...hopefully we are on the winning end

When is McDermott going to say the hell with Dodson!!

Agree just roll w the rook and let Williams learn on the job 

[BuffaloBaumer]

Bills HAVE to go for on any 4th and short all game if they stand a chance

I don’t know if I can blame the players because the defensive coaching is trash. 

Milano was an absolute keystone of the defense, I said it weeks ago, losing Milano was like losing diggs, not as catastrophic as losing Allen but probably 2nd worst case scenario for this team. And every opponent knows it. Attacking the LB position

Makes me wonder why Hamlin doesn’t get a shot with all the injuries.

Hamlin is a safety.  Dodson is a LBer

I don't care about the rest of the defense. he's the biggest loss.

probably should just forfiet the games against good qbs/offenses. 

[daz28]

Either Dodson had 2 gaps, or that one was Micah's

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Dodson is garbage. Let Williams play

[GunnerBill]

Why are we using those big jumbo formations to run Cook? He runs much better when we spread it out.

Don’t doubt Josh.

[SirAndrew]

Cool let’s run Cook up the middle. 

[Tulsabillsfanz]

Joseph did his job, taking 2 O-linemen. Dodson hides behind Joseph instead of filing the hole. That was a 4 point mistake. 

[offyourocker]

mcDermott is so f’in hard headed with his old players.  Dodson is horrible tackler and slow

[Livinginthepast]

So when the Defense has been as bad as it has so far. Who goes over to give them a pep talk during the game? Or a change of tactics? McD is too busy. So who is responsible in game?

Other teams can stop this team. What is the ***** issue here? You can’t ask this offense to score a TD every possession. What is the ***** issue. Switch it up stop playing so much zone FFS

 

Honestly they just need to do the same thing they did with Miami and slow down receivers at the line.

 

It's really obvious I don't really understand why they pretty much never do it, especially when facing a team that specializes in defeating zone defense like Cincy 

[JPL7]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY McD REFUSES TO USE 5-DLINEMAN ON SHORT TO GOAL SITUATIONS???

After two rough outings, Taron has found his refound his A game.

So far....

The one thing I saw so far was a Bengal drop in the endzone but I hope you're right.

I know wtf is Leslie Fraizer back

I get that the Bengals are good, but why are we so insanely ineffective against these dudes?  

They have 3 above average WRs and a good offensive line.

Good thing we have a defensive minded head coach

 

Seriously though, if we're going to have a defensive minded head coach shouldn't we expect elite defensive play calling? There are several DCs across the league that are better than McDermott. So what is the point of giving him the top job?

Von Miller isn't it... zero impact, they are single blocking him. Sad.

I think he’s done. Terrible injury on wrong side of 30

He was in there. Getting pushed back

He stood up the double team more than well enough for a real MLB to stop that run.

[Bookie Man]

Cincy ripping off some long drives. Our D is going to be GASSED in the 2nd half. 

[Punch]

Nice play by Cook, keep pumping those legs.

[Chaos]

Now mcdermott will try to slow down our offense, to spare the defense humiliation. And we will end up with no rythym

[LABILLBACKER]

Come on Cook... bounce out when you can obviously see a wall.  This kids vision is a problem. 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

We are asking so much of this offense against this team. Score a TD on every drive or lose. It’s bull####. McDermotts thing is defense. How have you seen this team 3 ***** times and can’t even hold them to an occasional FG

[bigduke6]

those of you complaining about Von.   no he doesnt look fully back.  doesnt matter though,  with Burrow getting rid of the ball so fast none of the pass rushers are going to do anything.  rather have them all hang back and throw their hands up when the throws.

[VaMilBill]

Why are we running it when running 5 wide on the first drive was so easy

[PauleeeWalnuts]

Hey Dorsey, stick with what was working please
