Cincy offense might be top offense in the NFL.  That was their top lineup 

Can you imagine if Josh had Chase and Higgins as wide-outs.  But we do have three quality TE's who took the lead in the passing game today.

I saw that and wonder why they didn't say anything on the broadcast.

 

I think that camera angle was deceptive in showing how far away from Chase that Benford actually was

I appreciate that, but I feel differently.  I thought it was an impressive win. There were lots of things in that game to be very encouraged by. It was always going to be a tough game.  

We cant live on Luck.  McDermott's Defense honestly got shredded today. If not for back to back,unreal, turnovers... we lose

The way they were talking about Burrow at halftime made me nauseous. "You should see Joe Burrow walk on water" 🙄🤮

I don’t think these old timers realize how big a deal being a dual threat qb is.  Joe burrow is an insane thrower of the football but can’t do even half of what mahomes/josh can under pressure.  These dlines are getting crazy good and olines keep getting worse in the modern nfl too

takeaways.  Defenses get takeaways.   The Bills earned both those takeaways with outstanding plays. Just like the bengals did with the strip of cook at the 2.

Although the off coverage on Cinci’s 3rd down conversions, drove me crazy.  Props to the coaching staff for 2nd half and going for it on multiple 4th downs of 3 yds to go or more.  2 of the Bills TDs were on 4th down.

 

Does help to have Josh Allen make everyone look good

A championship level win vs another great QB. This game reminded me so much of the 1990 Denver game

Thought the same thing. I was there. This game had that magic feeling. Let's see if it carries forward.

Huge win cuz it also helps keep Cincinnati out of playoffs. That offense can 100% win a SB if they sneak in.

Yeah it’s hard to watch. Excuses about injuries go so far. Nothing is really improving on D and bringing back a bunch of 30+ players and giving them significant playing time does not help.

Benford 2x consecutive AFC defensive player of the week 

Unless they give Allen AFC offensive player of the week. They don’t like to give it to the same team multiple times in the same week.

I brought that up as well. It really is the only comparison that I can think of.

If we somehow win the whole thing it's going to be down to the offense. I have no faith in the defense. So I prefer winning shootouts than low scoring games for that reason. We all know our defense is not really good enough - even at full strength.

The offense is much better either.  If Allen doesn't scramble to make plays or breaks off long runs, this offense struggles to move the ball.

But we can live on guys making plays.  It was mcdermotts play call and great play by Benford that got them the pick 6.  Jordan Phillips and epenesa made great plays on the int.  There are some lucky aspects to turnovers, but our guys made plays.  It wasn’t like Burrow threw the ball right to them. That would be luck.  Tre falling down en route to 6 is luck.

I guess I'm an old-timer now cause this game reminded me SO MUCH of the 1990 Broncos game where we scored 20 points in 77 seconds...

 

Like, what is going on?!?!? vibes...

 

LET'S GO

 

ps Josh Allen is a crazy man, best player I ever saw 

Definitely was a game where you can imagine that being there was 1000x a heightened vibe experience

If Burrow could run like Allen the Bengals would put up insane scores.

You know, I didn’t hear the morons after the game talk about how Burrow gave the game away with two consecutive picks late.

 

Can you imagine if that had been Josh?

 

I’ll just add:  they were stunned.

 

The league and the networks really wanted that narrative of Joe Brrr coming back from the dead to lead his team to the playoffs.  The timing of some of the flags/non-calls today were a little suspect too.
