Well for one they’re playing the worst defense in the history of the nfl 

 

I know it's bad but is it statistically the worst ever? 

 

Ever? 

 

I pull a lot of stats out of my ass but I'm not that up to date on my Cincinnati Bengals statistics

Whatever site I was looking at only does defensive epa/play back to 2022 but this bengals defense is the worst in that time frame 

 

The DVOA folks paywalled a bunch of stuff but on the chart of defensive DVOA I found no one is even close to as bad as the bengals this year like to the point where they had to zoom the chart way out just to fit them on 😆

This defense has played excellent for the last 6 quarters. The year we finally do this, is the year our defense takes the big step. This team has made us look very bad in the past. If we can stop Cincinnati, I think the sky is the limit. Im very excited to see how our defense holds up this week.

Love to see the hope here. Of course, I don't actually share it this week, against an opponent who just proves to be a bad matchup. Cinci runs it better lately than they get credit for, and we know of course how they throw it with Burrow back in the fold. Two-dimensional offenses like theirs have the ability to exploit McD's defense (and NFL defenses in general). Without a talented pass rush, it's really difficult to stop such teams.

Can't make a diamond without a lot of pressure 

 

 I think this team is ready for the playoff push

I will say the same -- if -- the Bills beat the Bengals.

 

If the Bills lose to the Bengals, it's because they are not playoff material. Specifically, it is not a playoff roster.

Explain how the Bengal's roster is better than the Bill's roster.

Because he's a captain on a contract being outplayed by Shaq Thompson

I don’t think they would make up an injury to make the switch.  Yes he is a captain but he can be replaced.   Plus we all watched the injury happen. Not sure why you would think they made it up.
