Opening drives vs Burrow

[mushypeaches]

I'll be in the stands on Sunday and putting the over/under at somewhere around 578 for how many times I yell about Bills corners giving too much cushion to Bengals receivers.

Now they've got this guy, Tinsley, that's showing a lot of potential.

You can't. current NFL rules only allow you to onside kick in the 4th quarter and only if your team is behind.

 

Somehow, I did not know this. 

 

Wtf?

If we go zone, Burrow will pick at our carcass all day long.

This is kind of silly isn't it.  Last game was over two years ago at Cincinnati.  Game was 21-7 at halftime.  Bengals scored three points in second half in 24-18 win.  Really different teams now.

 

People are scarred from the 2022 playoff game (in January 2023) at home.  Bills were emotionally spent after all the weather issues that year and, of course, what happened to Hamlin.  And after the game Burrow was smoking cigars and acting like an a-hole, so the PTSD is understandable.  Hopefully players that were on the team then remember.  But this Bengals defense is a shadow of what it was two years ago, and none of this is predictive of what will happen Sunday IMO.  But I could be wrong. 😎 

Bills fans are scarred...   from being bills fans.    that game just added a lil more scar tissue

Avoid the NFL Network on Saturday at 1:00 PM. Replaying the Bengals - Bills playoff game from 2022.

On the one hand, it's not really applicable because those teams are not this team. Different teams, different years.

 

On the other hand, the Bills have often gotten smacked on defense on the first couple drives before they make adjustments.

 

A fast start by Cincinnati wouldn't shock me. As long as we can keep up out of the gate we should be ok.

When they made the new onside formation rule of equal players each side of kicker they also made this stupid rule.

I know people exclude that Hamlin game but he was also carving us up in that game before the game was stopped
