Well, that was a lovely quarter

Burrow and Mahomes have left Josh in the dust.

How the F does this team come out with zero juice and intensity??? It's an embarrassment and really makes me question the leadership of McDermott. Josh too. He isn't the same player he was last year and early this season.

Game over. Bengals coaching staff running circles around the bumbling Bills.

Are there DB coach openings?

All of the warning signs were there for 12 weeks

I said in another thread I was afraid this was coming. Bengals are cocky and loose. We are the exact opposite.

Terrible against good QBs

So, we are just gonna get our ass kicked today?

Jesus. Hot knife meets butter.

Let's F'ing go!!!

I'm trying not to think this way, but my gut is telling me this is the case, and then I'm getting really bummed thinking about where we go from there, stuck behind the Chiefs AND Bengals. We need to come out fast and focused tomorrow. No more sloppiness. We should win if we play a clean game. It's all right there in front of us. Now, what are we made of? Tomorrow feels like a potentially era defining game.

Yeah, not sure what happened there between Brown and Josh - maybe a miscommunication, maybe just a bad ball from Josh. I've watched the play a bunch and Josh throws it to Brown because the safety jumps the flood concept to Knox. He had better options in the flat, but Josh did have one on one with Brown and he was probably emboldened by the success he had earlier in the game and going back to week 18 with the long ball. An interception at the goal line wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world if we had just tackled the guy instead of letting him jog free for 60 yards. But yeah, I'm comfortable pinning that one on Josh.

I couldn't disagree more and I loved Reed - he was my favorite player as a kid/teen. They were very different receivers, so it's hard to compare them, but prime Moulds was damn near unstoppable on the outside. His quarterbacks sucked ass, so he did have to go up and ***** 50/50 balls. His comps are AJ Brown and a prime (one year wonder) David Boston. He almost singlehandedly turned Doug Flutie into a Pro Bowler in 1998, and he was still damn dominant from 1999-2002 when he wasn't battling hamstring injuries. Reed was more like Jerry Rice in a running back's frame. Great over the middle and piled up tons of YAC yardage. Edit: LOL...you can't write sn@tch?

Nowhere close to Moulds' athleticism and strength. Gabe can get better, but he will never come close to being in the class of a Moulds.

A Josh/Diggs/Moulds pairing would be unstoppable.

Yeah, he's basically Kirk Cousins or Dak Prescott, right? We have a saying in my family: "Drive for show. Drive for show!".

I'm good with it. People can chirp on both sides leading up the game to hype themselves (or the matchup) however they see fit. The great thing is that the players and coaches themselves get to settle it on Sunday at 3PM. This is a big moment for a lot of dude's legacies and narratives (Who is NFL QB 1b - Josh or Burrow?, McDermott and big games, Frazier vs. elite passing teams, Joe "Cool" Burrow and his ability to overcome the odds with a crap o-line, what's left in Tre's tank?, etc. etc. etc.). I can't wait!!!

Yeah, sounds like the amount of time that his lungs were out of commission caused some damage - hopefully, just short term, and he'll make a full recovery. Still great news that he's up and about and around his teammates again. All in all, pretty much a best case scenario given where he was on that field a few weeks ago.

Haha. I'm 44 and still do the dumb stuff. Maybe my game will mature by 45. 😜 I'm 5'8", so I have to play to my strengths and hunt the 3 ball. No dunking for me unless it's against my kids on the Fisher Price hoop. A better analogy for me is golf. I hit the ball pretty long, so I'm often forced to decide between taking the chance of driving the green on a short par 4 or taking the "layup" of an iron, wedge and an almost guaranteed par.

Lebron Miyagi - i hope I'm never stuck guarding you in my rec league.

Yep. The takeaway is that both teams stink and will lose once they have to face a good actual NFL starting quarterback.

Every expert on ESPN just said that they would rather start their team with Joe Burrow than Josh Allen. So there's a little extra motivation for Josh

Yep. Proper route is to marry that GND, then buy her a big chest and giant butt and you're all set!

I ain't gonna talk S about them, but it's a playoff week and the gloves are off on both sides and that's fine by me. We can go back to being "friends" after we win the Super Bowl. Edit: just checked out that thread and i'm disappointed to see what a disingenuous turd that Caesar guy is. Seemed like a solid bro that played it straight when he was around here a few weeks ago, and I thought we treated him very fairly in kind.
