To me this game might be one of the career defining ones for McD. He has had few incredible victories in his tenure here. Beating Dallas on Thanksgiving, crushing Belichick in the playoffs for ex but he has also had some statement losses where the team didnt look prepared, motivated or show up like Cincy in the playoffs or where he had serious brain cramps like Houston last year or the 13 seconds debacle. I think this game represents a chance at restoring the rightful balance in the division but more importantly show the league that McD can come up with a game plan to confuse and neutralize Maye. I was hoping he could do this last week vs the Bengals but it once again took until halftime for us to get our act together. We cannot afford to do that against Maye again. Maybe this time smother Diggs in coverage and dont let Maye escape the pocket (at least to his right). Here's hoping.

I'm old and I remember! Any time we have a snow game like Sunday's I always think of that dude!

Gesicki acted like a real obnoxious ahole in that game. The guy seems to believe that he is some superstar athlete when his freakish height is his only asset. Reminds me of the kid in 7th grade who is 6ft and hit puberty early and his grabbing every rebound in gym class basketball because everyone else is a shrimp but acting like he's Michael Jordan.

Hurts makes a mistake, redeems his mistake by recovering the Chargers fumble, then makes another mistake.

The best is the Steelers Db's non chalant coverage. Likely is open by 3 yards even though things are compressed in the coverage.

Johnson is a shadow of the potential he once was. I think the injuries he has picked up in the last 2 years have slowed him down just enough and I also think hes gun shy about committing himself in tackles (lest he be injured again). Cam Lewis just never had the talent to start and obviously thats not gotten better. It doesnt help that McD' s soft zone constantly exposes these players to easy completions where there is no possibility that they can react fast enough to break up the pass. Combined with an inconsistent and sometimes non existent pass rush and the results are embarrassing. Also these guys are so out of position that they never turn towards the QB in pass coverage as they are too busy getting even close to the receiver. Yesterday they were being worked by Burrow who was taking advantage of the height advantage of his recievers. Lewis is 5ft 9 and Johnson 5ft11 vs Gesicky 6ft 6!! and Higgins 6ft 4. It was just pitch and catch.

Texan's blowing a great defensive effort.

LOL DOINK!!!!

So just to be sure, we want KC to win this? Thats tough to swallow!

Stroud is mediocre at best QB. Can you imagine Josh with that defense?

Today might have caused some permanent damage for Higgins. Absolutely reckless by the Bengals not to pull him but no excuse from the useless NFL who should have made that decision for them.

he drew a PI call. Thats it

Why does it always take half time before the Bills coaches can adjust the defense? How about doing a better job of anticipating the Bengals before the first series? Which looked exactly like the first series vs Burrow in the previous 3 games? Its stunning to me how this coaching staff can look like a deer in the headlights in the first half and then tweak something and look great in the 2nd. How does this happen over and over?

The Bengals ran a clinic today on the type of pass that Keon should be catching. Keon today ran a clinic on half hearted route running, vague effort and I'm getting paid win or lose. Its maddening to watch someone who could be so much better with a change of attitude, not even attempt to change his attitude.

YESSSSSSSSSSS
