Big Blitz

Not allowed to hit high. Can’t and don’t want to give anyone a concussion. They are all being taught new ways to tackle low - from the thigh down especially in the secondary. 30 years ago everyone wanted to see waist or above big hits. Can’t do that anymore. Legs are going to suffer. The turf isn’t helping either.

Should have beat the Jets and NE and we’d be 7-1 and not care.

Yep. Been like that for years. It’s terrible for the sport. Joe Buck got to the point where when a big play happens he’s saying as it unfolds (enters the end zone) “no flags” and he’s in or something like that. And every punt return - I guarantee the percentage of flags on punt that are returned are over 50%

If Douglas and Joseph play: Bills 35 Bengals 31 If not: Bengals 45 Bills 35

The Thursday signing of him makes me wonder if we were in on Leonard Williams or another DT.

Yep. They signed him after Davis got hurt to shore up a run D that fell off a cliff.

Nope

So? It doesn’t matter on November 5th. If we leave Sunday night 5-4 with 8 games to play we will need to go 5-3 to get in. Games I’m fairly confident we win: Denver Jets Dallas Patriots Toss ups: Miami KC Chargers Loss: Philly And I’m pretty confident a 9-8 team just might get in this season.

I’m going to be fine if we lose and let the Bengals score on every drive because I expect it. Roll your eyes all you want at that I’ve seen this defense before under McD against elite offenses on the road - but this one is missing the Defensive player of the year, Tre White, and Matt Milano. What was the last elite offense we beat on the road before Von arrived? You can’t name any. But if we put up 45 points I’ll be totally fine if we lose. I want the offense to make a big statement on the road against this defense. Just score. Figure out that defense.

I prefer a little hyperbole every now and then

The Packers secondary was legit good the last few seasons. I haven’t followed them much this year because their team is boring and awful. But Douglas has to be a big reason why they’ve been very good. Last year v the Bills I thought in the 2nd half we didn’t move the ball well at all thru the air against them and Josh had 2 picks. For the D in order of preference I wanted a CB; saw that as the biggest need. We have depth there again. Now is the pass rush going to be good? Can we cover big TEs? I have no idea but currently I’m very down on our front 6. It’s Bernard Groot and Ed and that’s it. Ed disappears vs good to great Guards. And I think Groot is hurt. I don’t understand how they’re using AJE. I think it’s the same with him - vs very good to great tackles he’s invisible. The Bengals might only score 59 now with this move.

He’s not getting traded.

We need to trade for the Broncos secondary They have had their DEs not even rush just contain and wait for Mahomes to inevitably roll around to you.

Trent Williams and Daquan Jones - the 2 most important football players in the NFL apparently.

The Bengals are dropping 76 points on us.

If Mike White played QB for Miami they would have the exact same record. KC would be a 2-3 win team minimum. The Bills without Josh might be 1-6. 2-5 at best.

Why are we rushing 4 guys in these situations is absurd to me. Put 9 guys back there. Rush 2. Should have been doing that from play 1 of the Bucs last possession.

Josh Norman for a big hit on Special Teams - 35 year old man right off the couch.

Shakir is the new Cole.

That’s enough with the punts in those situations. Real QBs and offenses coming up.

Bingo

Bengals are going to score 60 on us.
