What an unbelievably frustrating season. AFC is so weak this year. We really blew it. 

 

Chiefs may just sleepwalk to the Superbowl.

 

Actually... between Watson and Burrow being out for the year, our door back into the playoffs is pretty open now.

 

Before I didn't think there was a chance a 9-8 team would be a Wildcard.  Very possible now.

 

... and also, when is the national media going to start criticizing Joe Burrow for being made of glass?  Best ability is availability, right?  Dude's been hurt somehow every season, yet it's Allen we need to worry about in terms of longevity?

Honestly, now they can call it a year, and get some nice high draft picks for the next couple years.

 

Sucks, but this season was a longshot for them anyway.

Yup. So they can now let Higgins walk, replace him in a deeeeeeep WR draft to pair someone with Chase AND get a 3rd round comp pick the following year for losing Higgins.

Holy crap! I did not see that coming. I think it was the injury he had against us that was still lingering and got worse.

I could of swore I remembered seeing him shaking his hand or rubbing it after a play during the bills game. Anyone know the time-stamp on the game? I got a buddy that's a Bengals fan and he doesn't believe me.

I get what you're saying...but they made one SB and were in the AFCCG the following year with a bad OL. If they can field street FAs that are at the Mendoza Level they're still dangerous.

 

There was a lot of luck involved. And when it came to it in that Superbowl the Oline blew the game.

My cousin used to tell me that it's not just the number of injuries a team has and when they occur.   

 

Bills had the good luck to face the Jets after Rodgers got injured, and didn't take advantage of it.  They had the bad luck of playing the Bengals in one of the few games when Burrow was at his peak and the Bills defensive backfield was a shambles.  

 

I'm something of a Burrow fan.   I love his cool, and I marvel at his accuracy.   Tee Higgins catches all those passes because every one is right on his hands, in stride, chest high.   Burrow's amazing to watch, unless he's playing the Bills.

Really tough break for the Bengals this year. Burrow has had a couple big time injuries early in his career. And just as his calf seems to be on the mend this happens. 

This is good for Buffalo though. We need some help given our schedule and record at this point.
