That should help on both sides.

 

As for Cincy's defense, the last I looked they are ranked #32 in total defense, #31 in pass defense, and #31 in run defense (over 150 yards per game).

 

They are also ranked #32 in scoring defense, #28 in red zone defense, and #31 in 3rd down defense.

 

No excuses on Sunday!

 

Right now looking like cloudy, 26 degrees, 22% of snow, light winds.

I will be excited if the Bills can force a single punt.

I think the Baltimore defense has a lot of the same issues as ours and is arguably worse.  They surprisingly weren’t as bad at stopping drives as you’d think given the score but the ravens offense just turned it over so many times that it doesn’t show up in the points allowed

 

Cincy shockingly  only had two td drives in that 32 point game lol there were quite a few 5-15 yard fg drives after a turnover

 

i was gonna mention both those tds being in 3rd and long scenarios but we are certainly not known for shutting down 3rd and longs either 😂

We might see a 100+ point game here with how bad their defense and ours is

If our defense is so bad, explain how they played yesterday.-

It's going to be a great game, and I think we'll win it but it will be a nail biter. 

 

We're so up and down this year in terms of perception. Now the defense suddenly became great. I don't think people realize just how pathetic, pitiful, and wimpy the Steelers offense has been most of the season. They are abysmal. Their defense has also been bad all year. 

 

If a decent team throws up all over itself and turns the ball over 3-4 times they typically have a chance. If not they lose pretty handily. 

 

There is a lot of bad, sloppy football played around the league, which is how teams like Pittsburgh rack up some wins. But they are a pretender and even their own fans knew it before the game. Flacco put up 33 points on them. They are a joke. 

 

You can only beat who you play, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Records aside, the Bengals are by far a tougher opponent than the Steelers. It will be a good test and a fun game. 

 

BTW, Zach Taylor should be fired if they miss the playoffs. He has Burrow, Chase and Higgins and they keep missing the post season, mostly due to slow starts even with Burrow healthy.

You act like a bad defense can't have a good game. That's why you look at a complete body of work. 

 

If you're not worried about Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and Iosiavas then you probably have a surprise coming. Our offense better be up and ready to put points on the board and not FGs

TB didn't play.

[TFBillsfan]

Higgins not playing would be big. Hopefully, this is a game where Max plays more than White. 
 

Concerning that Kincaid, Palmer and Dawkins are still not good to go!

I genuinely believe you also listed those 3 players in level of importance. We need Kincaid back more than anyone on the roster except for maybe Oliver. Palmer might be the only downfield threat we have. I wouldn't want to go try to win a Super Bowl without Dawkins but his play hasn't matched his hype this year and RVD was solid last week.

Are people really sticking up for our defense now? I guess it's all flowers and roses coming off a win again.

Our defense is fine, it's been ~average all year despite losing a ton of man hours to injury

You're more suited to be a Dolphins fan.
