12/7/25 GAMEDAY Bills vs Bengals 1:00 pm 1st Half Thread

[Uncle Stucky]

The only person who can save this defense is BIG PLAY SLAY!!!!!

[Bongo]

Gotta give us credit. We are trailblazers. We have officially mastered the bend AND break defense. 

[Kaenon]

Will we get a 3rd down stop today?

Will the Bengals score every possession?

WTF Sean. This is you - injuries aside, this is Burrow against you Sean every time.

The fundamental issue is trying to fix the defense.  You win by scoring more points.   The Bnagls are the worst defense in the league and would likely be a Super Bowl favorite if Burrow wasnt hurt

 

Shhhhhhhhh…. that wouldn’t be complementary and is not complimentary.

One stat says it all...Bengals now 7 of 7 on 3rd down...PLEASE TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT...what you are doing now ain't workin'...

Just keep it close heading into the half and hope McDermott makes some good adjustments. Then obviously open the 3rd with a TD. That’s their only hope

Catch has to survive the ground

This is the NFL rule.  You are missing the point.  Once it crosses the plane, they call it a TD.

Score a TD with 5 seconds on the clock, score another one after half, hope that you're the last team with the ball at the end. That's the only path.

With an embarrassing cast of characters.

 

good luck Josh!

What about the other 70 yards 

Not as amazing as that but very very good. Bengals receivers are being covered, but 1) throws placed perfectly, and 2) receivers that can catch.

Let's go back to the TEs. Punch this in and double dip. Keep it simple and do what's working.

Just keep doing the same thing on defense every series and hope for a different result.  Crazy

It’s the MO for the organization.  Just hope that things will work out in your favor

Here comes a couple WR screens! Wait for it

For the constant ***** Brady gets the offense is coached 30x better than the defense. Let’s get real at some point 

[DuckyBoys]

only way we win is run run run and hope for the Bengals to turn it over  Maybe fluke fumble

No team has ever won a SB with a crap defense. It catches up with you eventually. Somehow, we have to figure out how to do both at the same time like we almost did to start the decade.

Always the same excuse. Just get it done. They have had about 10 3rd and longs and we can’t stop one

I'm NOT defending Babich, but it's hard for me to blame the coaching when if you look at the defensive roster (that's healthy) it's awful.

bengals wrs are doing a good job of using superior size and skill along with the weather against the Bills dbs.

 

And they’ve barely even unlocked Chase yet. He can have 5 targets in a drive any minute now

[PauleeeWalnuts]

Three straight GD runs up the middle down ten

Burrow is just too good. 

 

You might not believe this if you only watch him against the Bills but he does occasionally fail to convert 3rd downs.

[davefan66]

Can’t give the ball back this quarter.
