can max run with Chase? Benford might best line up on Higgins being a bigger dude

Curious what Hairston’s snap count was vs Pitt as it seemed like White played a lot.

I don't know, they looked pretty good against the Ravens offense. 

Henry is running on fumes and Jackson is not the same QB he was last year.

Opening line:

 

Bills -6.5

That seems too high.  It will be 3 by game time.

Bengals are a different team with Burrow back, defense included.  A QB like that just elevates the whole team.  

 

Proof that football is a mental game IMO

Nice gritty, must have win on the road by the Bills against Pitt. Next up another need to keep stacking wins against a strong passing team. 
 

Hopefully, Dawkins, Palmer and Kincaid return and Cooks gets more acclimated into the offense. 
 

Gonna need a better passing game against Cinncy to balance a strong running game. Time to get this passing offense outside of first gear! 
 

D looked much better so hopeful they show up again.
 

LETS GO BUFFALO!

Cinnci’s defense is basically built for the Bills to dominate.

 

They have been pretty good against both slot and outside WRs which of course is a weakness of the Bills. But they have been terrible against Tight Ends and Running backs giving up over 93 yards a game and over a touchdown a game to Tight Ends (worst in the league). They also give up over 46 yards and half a touchdown a game to running backs through the air (second worst to the Bucs). 

They also allow over 128 yards rushing per game to running backs (worst in league). This has led to them being the second worst third down conversion team giving up first downs on over 47% of attempts. They also give up touchdowns on over 64% of opponents red zone trips. The Bills have been dominant in the red zone AT HOME scoring touchdowns in 72% of red zone trips. The Bengals are just slightly better than the Steelers, the team we just possessed the ball for almost 42 minutes against, at time of possession. The Bills offense should have a great day!
 

The other good thing is the Bills are bad against the run and the Bengals just are not a good running team (second fewest yards per game in the road). So the Bills can put all their effort in defending the pass which they have been pretty good at this year. Oh yea and the Bills are 5-1 at home this year.

 

This should be the year we beat Burrow and Cinnci, especially if Kincaid is ready to go.

[Joe Ferguson forever]

just happy to be billeting in the playoffs again and playoff run.  They'll beat Cincy.

Certain Bills fans are literally the only people who think that the Bills aren't a way better team than Cinci

[Gregg]

Pound the rock with Cook and keep Burrow on the sideline as much as possible. A repeat of the Steelers game works for me.

[Blackbeard]

A healthy dose of Cook and Ray will get the job done.  
 

 

[Ray Stonada]

If Ray Davis (not Ray Davies) has gotten going we are back to having a the one two punch plus Ty… great news for Bengals game. Pound the rock. 

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

24-15.

Buffalo.

You think it’ll move by 3.5 points? Only time that happens is when a good starting qb suddenly doesn’t play unexpectedly…?

[Dillenger4]

If we can run the ball like yesterday and stop Chase from exploding with big/timely plays, we will crush them.

[Urban Achievers]

IMO our defense seems to be performing better against run and perhaps overall without Bernard.  Thompson and Milano should remain starters regardless of Bernard’s health moving forward.

I read he got 13 snaps. Not a ton, but it got him back on the field. Every little bit of experience and confidence helps when you are so new to the league.

Maybe we see that vaunted Bills pass rush like we had against KC....what are the odds? Are they gonna use this Fox dude?

Depends on the injury status on many players. 

 

They had to elevate Spector and Latu this week to cover for some injuries. If by chance we are healthier this week or the Bosa hammy holds him out I would expect either Fox or Lawson elevated for the game. 

 

If we are still missing guys to injury, they have to backfill that first

Cincinatti’s defense is so bad that there is zero excuses for not running the ball down their throat repeatedly.

Yeah, it's one of those things though.  The defense was historically bad early in the season but has improved.  Now?  Just held Baltimore to 14, so may not be as dreadful as we think.

Oh put Davies in.  Just have him in the backfield with a guitar singing "He's a well respected man about town, doing the best things so conservatively."  The defense will be so confused and entranced that the rest of the offense will run wild...like some kind of Apeman.
