Is anyone still mad they extended Benford ? 

[Puckman5]

Serious question.  Why do we never incorporate things that work in the second half in the first half of the next game?

That, the (failed 4th down conversion in the 1st half), the friggin 4th and goal?? Aggressive 

 

No-win situation.

If the coaches don't go for it they are playing scared and too conservative. If they do and it doesn't work, a foolish gamble.

Tight ends 11 for 137, 2 TDs great job by the triumvirate. Best game ever for Dawson and thank god Dalton played through injury

[SCBills]

Lamar takes a sack to lose the game. 
 

Today is GLORIOUS

[Nihilarian]

Josh Allen, the epitome of a franchise QB... no one better!!!

[BillMafia716ix]

We stole that game. Thank God for Benford. Rest of the defense was dumpster juice

I was out of my mind when they hiked the ball n the 4th down!  I did not expect that at all! 
 

Aggressive and won!  
 

Shows McD knew the importance of a win here!

Steelers win to set up a 2nd bye for one lucky AFC playoff team!

LOL.  There will be 20+ posters bitching the next time he gives up an 8 yard pass play.

[JaCrispy]

Anybody else’s wife get really touchy-feely after the Benford pick 6?

 

She got so excited, the animal came out and I almost had to beat her off with a stick just so I could finish out the rest of the game…🤣🤣🤣

Armchair coaching with hindsight is so frustrating haha

I'm afraid to wear my Bills hat to Trader Joes in Kenwood (Cincinnati).

Allen is the best player I’ve ever seen, and easily the most fun player to watch in the NFL.

 

An insane individual effort to will a victory out.

 

Shout out to Benford, Knox, and Epenesa.

 

Shame on the third down defense.

 

Crazy game.

And J.Phillips who got his hand up and deflected that pass.

[DaVinci]

Benford 2x consecutive AFC defensive player of the week

The one thing they did to me today besides the obvious that was  a positive was they tackled really well and were excellent against the run.

 

The third downs were just nuts.  The Bengals made like 5 outstanding catches to continue those drives.  That was what the game demanded and they did it. tip your hat to them for making those plays.

They were great plays and I agree we finally tackled at an NFL level.  Still felt helpless at times and required the turnovers to keep us competitive.  Not sure we can rely on that strategy to take us deep in the playoffs.

Don't be, Cincy fans can't help but be nice. 

[MikePJ76]

Side Note someone needs to explain to me why higgins was allowed to continue playing?  How did the league not step in there....isn't that what all the changes were for to make sure  team didn't risk a players long term health to win a single super important game.

 

I am really confused.  He slammed his head twice on the frozen turf.  I hope the guy is ok. I wouldn't be surprised if he is out a game or two.
