Can we have a semi coherent second half or will we continue our backyard football Bs?

in my backyard, we didn’t give WRs a ten yard cushion.

Unless Allen is awesome literally everything has to go right on offense for it to work.  And I’m not sure what the hell routes these are.  
 

That 4th down play was a joke.  And Dawkins got worked. 

I'd love for Allen to be awesome but I'd also settle for Cook being awesome.  It's not like we couldn't run the ball down their throats.  Either way we need some kind of defense to show up.

Dawkins always gets worked at crucial times

[TheFunPolice]

This is about to become one of those games people talk about.

 

Zero doubt we're winning this thing.

If we dont score a TD on this drive, its over as is our playoff hopes 

[sven233]

Our defense is nowhere to be found and we are outmanned on when it comes to offense.  Our defensive HC has had no answers for this team since we started playing them.  Going to take one of the wildest swings in NFL history for us to win this game.

[Special K]

It's criminal that the Bengals allowed Tee Higgins back into the game......obvious concussion, the 2nd in three weeks, and they put him back out there.....

They just don’t seem engaged, again.  What’s it going to take?  Every game is a must win, unless they honestly don’t care, as a group, if they get in or not.

I hope the Bills come back and win and for sure they could.  But this first half has shown us all what the problems are.  If not for Allen making unbelievable plays on their TD drive and Burrow missing a wide open Higgen's this game might be over.  And I can't wait until all the alt 22 "experts" point out how Allen didn't throw it to the wide open guy in the flat.  You don't need alt 22 to tell you what is wrong with the Bills:

 

*  The Bill shave a bad D.  They allowed five 3rd and long conversions (5 yards or more) on the 3 TD drives they gave up.

 

*  The Bills have only one skill player on Offense who helps his QB out.  The rest are at best JAGS.  And for the record, availability is a key ability.

 

*  Because the Bills have no game breaking WR's they can't employ the offense in the snow that Cincy can.  Did you see how poorly Coleman ran the pattern Allen almost got Intercepted on?  Or how about a RB that falls down on a TD run after no contact?

 

*  Why dd the Bills choose to KO?  I know what they claim the analytics say but I wonder what the numbers tell you if your opponent takes that opening KO and scores a TD?

[Urban Achievers]

Maybe a stop or two on third and longs?  Can I dare to dream? 

[Irish Dave]

Reality check- if this continues and not much changes we exit playoffs early would you fire McDermott and hire Daboll?

I just don't get how t Higgins can be back.smacks of Zack Taylor crap. He had a concussion and had a head injury with concussion symptoms. He should be out for the game. 

[zow2]

i think Allen needs to scramble more. They won’t be able to get footing to stop him. he can’t stand back there for 10 seconds and get nothing from it.

Might want to try to throw to the sticks on third down. I don’t know, just a thought

 

Beyond the sticks even, maybe 

 

Last season's MVP can't throw a real pass apparently

Unless Texans win today we’re still the 7 seed. Not over yet.

Hmm, well if a law enforcement official says so I guess

[Nitro]

WRs have the advantage in these conditions but the Bills players run like they are wearing snow boots.

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Need this drive right here!
