Tim Tindale

Literally every bounce. Tipped interception, tipped 2 point conversion, 4th down TD that re-directed into Evans’ stomach, fumbled punt back into the returners hands, fumbled snap that bounces cleanly back into Mayfield’s hands, weak illegal contact call on Taron on the first 4th down conversion, a face mask on the 2nd 4th down when that could have easily been blown dead on a QB being in the grasp, dropped pick by Poyer, Neal just missing pinning the last punt inside the 5. A lot of good luck.

1pm game? I should be ready to go… call me “game time decision”.

Bye, Joe. Came up small when it counted. Dumb mistakes by a young team. Long offseason for the Bengals. I’m “heartbroken”. Good riddance, Joe “Cool”.

No way Josh lets this team lose at home in the playoffs. Bring on Mahomes.

Kelce went for 10-115-3 in that second Charger game. Not sure that constitutes textbook containment of Kelce.

Playing flat against a backup QB at home in the playoffs is all part of their grand design.

I’m concerned that the Bengals aren’t compiling the requisite style points tonight to be taken seriously as “Super Bowl-worthy”.

We were loading up on style points on our way to a 12-3 lead on the Giants.

BRING ON BURROW! Let’s go, Buffalo!!

Hey, then rejoice… then feel relief all over again.

Who cares. Simulate it on Madden, if you want if you want to talk yourself into feeling terrible. There aren’t extra byes awarded for winning by 30. We are in the exact same spot as last year, except with a home game. Onward.

Pro Bowl snub - Matt Milano x50 He’ll be an All-Pro this year, but not a Pro Bowler. It’s absurd.

I hope they decide Mac Jones is enough. Torturing the Pats twice a year for the next several years sounds great to me.

I hope they keep out-of-sync-ing their way to 4 more wins. That’d make it 11 straight out of sync wins.

“There’s one thing I want you to do for me.” ”What’s that?” ”Win. WIN!” Let’s go get it, boys!

I hope by the grace of God you find your way to the other side of this, and there are more Bills’ seasons in your future. Keep fighting, sir…

Can we have Mike White weigh in as to whether Milano is a thumper?

Bills 31 Bengals 17 Let’s punch this team in the mouth. Let’s go!

To be fair (to Tua), Herbert hasn’t made the playoffs yet either. Herbert has a career record of 23-23. incidentally, Josh is now at 51-25. I think it’s notable that Herbert has to win 28 of his next 30 games to match Allen’s start.

I wonder if Chiefs fans are complaining about how that can’t beat the Bills if they play like they did against the Texans. Or the Bengals fans after getting a 17-0 hole against the dysfunctional Bucs. I’d check, but I’m too lazy. Or rather, it’s the NFL, and especially this time of year, when the injuries pile up, the talent level delta is razor thin, and everyone has tape everyone’s scheme, the weather gets worse, everyone’s playing for either the playoffs or a job on a roster next year, the games do tend to get more competitive.

Yeah, he seems good.

RGIII… I know this take is likely to be met with derision, but I thought EJ’s career was headed in the right direction until Tashaun Gipson (had to look it up) blasted his knee on a scramble as he was heading out of bounds in a night game in Cleveland. He was never the same QB after that, in my opinion. Obviously, every player and situation is different, but I can’t get that EJ injury out of my head when I see defensive players hitting Josh low.

The NFL has been such a QB-driven league for a long time - a couple decades now. When I think about what the Bills would be if they stepped down to just average at the QB position - even during this rut - it’s not a pretty picture. Essentially, Allen’s WAR has to be exceptionally high even during an injury-induced slump. Call me sentimental, but it makes me a grateful fan. Lived through a lot of disasters at the QB position post-Kelly.

I think “downright awful” is a hyperbole. They are putting up roughly 30 points a game. “Below what we have come to expect from Josh”, I’m willing to grant. But “downright awful” when 25+ franchises would gladly accept the output in a rut? Makes me wonder if there is a loss of perspective…

Honestly, the Chiefs have had their fair share of wars themselves. Half their wins have been by three points or less - over a Titans team in OT we blew out, over a Raiders team that has been scuffling all year, and against the under-achieving Chargers twice. The Chiefs also lost to a dysfunctional Colts team in week 3. The Chiefs are hardly dominating and are, in fact, vulnerable, especially with a rash of injuries on offense.
