Bills @ Bengals postgame thread

[Dr.Sack]

The offense just wasn’t that good, with 2 critical turnovers. Can’t expect to win scoring 18 points in 2023. Can have a chance at winning if you give up 24. 

[Livinginthepast]

Bills have too many injuries to people who were game changers. Josh is obviously injured worse than we know and the coaches are not smart enough to work with what they have on offense or defense. They cannot win close games and they definitely cannot overcome the terrible officiating.  I really hope I'm wrong but this season feels lost.

Nah, we were just talking about how our 2nd worst yardage performance and third worst scoring performance and 23 minutes time-of-possession against a defense like Cincy's was really a glass half full kinda thing.

Oh no Taro - were Super Bowl bound baby!!!!

Listen, this loss sucks. But we lost to a good team in their house. But it wouldn't hurt so bad if we had not lost to the GD Pats two weeks ago!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheFunPolice]

Let's say we finish with a bad record or even miss the playoffs.

 

McDermott is still getting another year. Then, they make the wildcard and come up short. That buys him another year or two.

 

It's the curse of a great QB paired with a mediocre HC

People laughed when it was suggested that the Bills may go 10-7 on the year.

That was actually my prediction as well lol.  At this point, I honestly put them at 9-8, missing the playoffs all together

I would say the Bills go No Huddle the rest of the year. I want McD fired so bad. So so bad

Gabe Davis did not have 1 goddamn catch. Good riddance! 

Davis played great last game, so we’ll have to wait another two games before he shows up again.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

This season is over. Our zone is like a 7 year old playing Madden. The bengals had guys wide open all game. No matter what week, no matter who we play..every single time we are in a big spot we NEVER make a stop. We NEVER get off the ***** field on 3rd down. If we ever need a stop to give our offense a shot, we absolutely NEVER get it. I’m done with this coach. We are going absolutely nowhere with this guy in charge.

[CircleTheWagons99]

McD has to go. He is not winning anything. 13 seconds ruined him and the team.

Usual journalists sniffing the McClappy bum. Some absolute horrendous toeing of the company lines

Biggest take away is a new fear unlocked, Von is either not ready or he is done. He was nothing short of a dumpster fire tonight. And that's not even counting the last play of the game. His rush lanes were 10 yards deep, he didn't string out a single run, he left a freeway for Burrough to scramble for a first, and I saw maybe 1 legit pressure from him?

That’s on coaching and the front office.

 

I just don’t understand it.  It really is as simple as soon as he sees good corners he’s erased.  
 

But we watch him practice day after day.  I’m just stunned. 
 

Bc the difference between us and them is Tee Higgins v Gabe Davis.  Oh and Mixon.

They honestly played better than I thought they would, I was expecting a blowout. As with most NFL matchups - lose the turnover battle, lose the game.

I am frustrated as had Kincaid not turned the ball over the would have had a chance to come back but they made the mistake that sent the team home

What do I know but I feel just the opposite.  I think McD preaches conservative take what's there and that is what was working.  Dorsey likes slinging it as does Josh and that was what the Bengals were playing as Josh held it llooking down field and throwing it into the stands and taking hits.  I thing Josh trys to Mike Tyson his way through everything ........... he's all punch and no jab.  It takes him whole games sometimes to figure out just take what they are giving you.

What really stinks is our salary cap situation and Miller taking up so much room on it. Wrap

Prepared?  WTH game did you watch.  This team was woefully ill-prepared despite 10 days to be ready.  The defense was absolute swiss cheese and put them in a hole early and put all the pressure on the offense.  

We area BADLY coached team.  Period.  This team is going NOWHERE under the current staff.  A regime turnover is desperately needed.

Giving up 24 to a great O, especially on multiple short fields, is a pretty good performance by the D. 
 

If you are expecting the top-3 unit we previously had pre-injury, then your expectations are skewed. We had Josh Norman and Tyrell Dodson out there!!

Every time we huddled up the offense stalled all night long. Started right after the Bengals got their second TD. My guess McD wanted to slow the pace down so his D could rest and collect themselves. Jmo. Believe that is a McD call not Dorsey

Instead the Bengals kept the ball against us. Granted Josh helped with a bad interception early and failing to put up points in the final half drive.

[dma0034]

I'm even at the point that I'd be willing to fire McD now and ask Frazier to be the interim coach for the rest of the year. That is literally how much I dislike McDermott
