Bills @ Benglas Game Thread - 1st half

[TheWeatherMan]

Ah the old perfectly timed waste of a first down with negative yardage Dorsey special.  

[par73]

Two TD deficit upcoming.

[sven233]

Dorsey killing that drive.  No tempo.  Running on 1st down to put us behind the sticks.  Just awful play calling.  Everything that worked on the first drive he decides not to do on this one.

[TheBrownBear]

Josh has to take the easy stuff. Killed that drive holding the ball.

[Blank Stare]

🤮

[buffblue]

Well, it's been a good game. Glad we tried to pointlessly establish the run

[die hard bills fan]

No fkn hold!

 

[CoudyBills]

Crap, that feels like game.  Make a play defense.

[ngbills]

Way too many bad punts from Martin. Had his one mvp game bud is crap otherwise.

Has Cincy been flagged yet? 

They got flagged for DPI on that drive

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. 

 

Kinda feels like the Miami game in reverse.  We hang for a few, then it's just an avalanche that cannot be stopped. Hope not.  D has to do something here

[LABILLBACKER]

Gee what a shocker... Brown & Dawkins burned immediately....meanwhile Sean's lining up his next round of defensive draft picks.

PI on that last drive

 

Oh yeah, duh. I hate seeing red, it makes me forget everything, lol.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Difference has been the pass rush. They’re getting home and we are not.

 

Thatv3rd down they rushed 3 and we couldn’t holdnup.

 

 

smh 

[Mopreme]

Von Miller Mr. Invisible

 

21-7 coming up. 

[ColoradoBills]

McD has to get the D to come up big with a stop right now.

[Punch]

Douglas in for Dane Jackson.

[Fetou]

Here's a mini game, how many plays will it take the Bengals offense to recoup every yard of that ***** punt. I'm going with 4

Another horrible penalty call...that was not holding

He almost arm barred/choked him. It was a good call.

[Yobogoya!]

That holding call on Brown was pretty weak.

 

Not as weak as that roughing call on Settle, but pretty weak.

After last year...an entire off season... 10 days of rest. Seeing them come out like this on D... When it just looks too easy for the Bengals... That's on McD... No excuses. They wilt against this bunch...

Yet his defenders will be out tonight making excuses for him if the Bills lose tonight. 

[Hebert19]

All right d.  Pull heads out of ass.

They just got the pi

And a bad call at a that. 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Just now, BillsFan130 said:

So we spread them out and go no tempo the first drive and carve them.

 

But now we want to go under centre, run the ball and slow things down the 2nd drive?

 

Makes perfect sense

The board has been screaming all season to play more under center. Can't have it both ways.

Sometimes guys just need to make plays.

When was last time our d lineman were held?…

I've seen them held about 4 times already tonight...unfortunately the refs look the other way

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Vegas wants Bengals to win

 

 

[HurlyBurly51]

I thought that was a little ticky tacky on Brown

[Fixxxer]

"ok we had a great drive to start the game and scored, let's to a 180º and see what happens..."

So can't run on first down. Can't run in the red zone. And can't run on 2nd and 10.

When can they run?

Let me know once you see it working tonight. 

[PauleeeWalnuts]

Dorsey completely went away from what Cincy couldn’t stop…you can’t make this ish up

[Nitro]

McD has had no solution to stopping the Bengals.

I'm not usually dramatic, but I'm afraid that is the ballgame.

We have close to zero chance of getting a stop.  Cannot afford these stuffed run plays.

[HappyDays]

The Bengals have a great defensive line. So let's call long developing pass plays where Josh has to hold the ball.

 

These coaches are garbage. Hopefully Pegula makes the necessary change at the end of the season. Can't waste any more years of Josh Allen in his prime.

Yeah, not sure why we slowed it down.  Disappointing

Rasul Douglas enters the game.

The roughing on Settle was a joke.

I am afraid so

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I am sorry, but that holding call was a joke. Wow.

[Johnnycage46]

Let's hope after Bengals get the TD we can get to half 21-14 and tie with 1st drive in 3rd quarter.  Can't afford to not score on another drive.  Can't see Bengals NOT getting TDs every drive with how garbage the D is.
