Will they change their cleats during half time?

I for one am looking forward to McD’s second half glasses change #warbyparker

Gronk's right the team's talent doesn't match Josh. 

Worst part?

 

Won’t for some time unless they do a serious cap purge this year.

 

Rousseu, Bernard can’t be cut. WR room is hideous and has to go. Dead money from Bosa contract and others. Unless you resign Bosa, which I would.

 

Negative cap to right this team is undoable, but is needed.

Bengals have less talent, even in our injured state, yet play with an edge. 
 

We play timid and scared - It’s emasculating to watch. 

Disagree - with Burrow back, they have a very talented offense.  Their defense is weak, but probably no weaker than the Bills' injury-riddled D and the Bills' offense is toothless.

That is and has been the story in national sports media for weeks.

 

Allen is so good he's going to overcome it and the front office will feel validated by the results 

He's so good he's even somewhat overcoming the incompetence of Brady, an accomplishment that should get him into the Hall of Fame by itself.

You know what is hilarious? The Bills and Chiefs are finally having difficulties in their divisions this year. They are still going to play each other next year because we’re playing the AFC West.

[Chaos]

Steelers may take AFCN.  that fifth seed spot would be nice

[DuckyBoys]

I think the Bills defense may be the worst situational defense I have ever seen  Third and long and you are chewing nails  Man I fondly remember under Schwartz 3 and 6+ was time to grab a beer and relax

It's time to recognize that this is not a playoff contender.  Even if some players get healthy, they are no threat in the playoffs.  They won't do it, but it might be time to pull Allen to protect him from pointless injury and ride out the season and get a decent draft slot.

I think the Bengals offense is just a horrible matchup. The defense isn’t great, but this is ridiculous 7/8 on third down.

[JP51]

This entire front office needs to be eradicated they have wasted the most prolific generational talent we have ever seen ... they are morons and please dear lord do not let them procreate and destroy the gene pool on the planet earth.

Play calling continues to suck. How are they not running more play action and quick slants or crossing routes. In the snow and Brady is still going slow developing routes. Sit in a zone. It’s snowing. The d can’t plant and run with a guy. Brady helping them out with these routes.

He’s toast. Needs to be cut at end of season if not sooner.

Has not had a good season, I agree.

 

Poor linebacker play and lack of pash rush will impact corner play negatively. I feel he gets a pass this season TBH.

I was only talking about their defense. 
 

On offense it’s not even close.

Not sure why so few people realize this.  All you need to do is look at the Sabres.

2025 is NOT 1965!
 

You cannot do the 3 yards through a drift of snow! That is a formula for Losers!

 

You need, at least ONE… NORMALLY 2 quality WRs to compliment that.

 

The Bills have NOBODY!

 

17 has to manufacture EVERYTHING from nada!

lol….this is just a dumb poast

7 points. we would not have gone for two, even with the penalty. 

 

Teams should always go for 2 after a penalty.
