Eat ***** Joe! Eat ***** Cinci!

The first 10 minutes or so, I was actually enjoying a revelation that I don't really hate the Chiefs. Because I think we can beat them, and they've always been classy when the opposite happens. I just hate the Bengals. But watching the Bengals OL today, like you, I am now not in such a great mood

50/50 balls to kadarius toney aren't going to get it done for the chiefs.

No it won't be, because that team never won a super bowl. By measure of total wins, championships, and length of span, this one will be the greatest. We were really helped out that Josh had multiple playoff wins under his belt before the age at which Kelly played his first snap for the bills.

Theyre gonna win one. Maybe more

It took them 1 summer to fortify that line. Your move McBeane.

This sticks the best with me. FWIW, in 12 years when we look back on the most successful run in franchise history, we will remember almost nothing about this game. Just (barely) that it happened.

Had the bills offense come to play, we were going to allow a lot more than 27. For the same reason we could have put up a lot more than 24 in NE december 1st if we needed to.

As opposed to what, tomorrow? Chill lmao

Pretty sure he is not under contract for next year

I've seen this sentiment more than once. Why do people think the saints won the SB after Katrina? The Saints were terrible that season. Their super bowl victory was 4.5 years after the hurricane hit lol

Second team all pro is still an all pro distinction. Otherwise it wouldn't be called anything. They are more right than you are.

Listen buddy. It takes some of us until March, April, even July to get here.

No, no team playing cover 0 lines their DBs in press on the wide receiver lol. You want press coverage? Don't blitz 7 guys

This game is much easier to get over because when you just get beat up on, it's easier to see we weren't doing anything this winter. The chiefs game gave me nightmares for the next 9 months. Literal nightmares. I'm already over this one. We are never as invincible as we feel when things go well (Bengals fans will learn this at some point like we did after 2020) and things are never as doomed as they feel when they don't. Philly had no business playing in a playoff game 12 months ago when Tampa smoked them. They look like the best team I've seen in a decade just 12 months later. The Bills don't need half that much improvement to be playing next February. Everything is on the table for them, they just have to grab it.

If you use press coverage with cover 0 you will give up a TD to one of chase/higgins/Boyd on 100 attempts out of 100. The problem was either tre missing his tackle or the jailhouse blitz call, not that we needed to press with the blitz

I've seen at least two pictures of Damar's face since he woke back up. It's still almost cartoonish the way his camera time went on Sunday lol: "And now, ladies and gentlemen, damar hamlin!!" *camera cuts to a pitch black silhouette barely discernable through the blizzard*

"If the bengals see us in the playoffs thry can f*ck around and find out" He is embarrassing

That looks like cover 0 to me. FWIW, I usually see cushions around that size when teams call cover 0. The same thing that allowed Diggs to run by the Dolphins last week, but also forced errors and got sacks. Not defending the call or anything, I hate calling 0 against anyone but bad/rookie QBs, and i also could be wrong

It was clear today that they haven't even really begun staff evaluations yet. They cleaned out the lockers, had exit interviews, and met with the media. That someone isn't fired today says nothing about their status for next season.

It's always in vogue to be the ascending team. That's why we yearn for 2020. Cinci's ownership makes them uniquely ill-suited to handle the second contracts of a lot of these players. There are going to be new threats, new risers, but through all of that the teams with Burrow, Allen and Mahomes will always be among the most likely to win it all.

Great post, maybe you should make this one a thread too!

Every stray thought this guy has is a new, strangely-worded thread

The 2021 team was 7-6 at one point and only looked elite against the Chiefs in the RS, at NE, and on the offensive side of the ball in 2 playoff games. The 2020 team was superior even though their defense was shoddy. There will be Bills teams led by Allen who are better than both.

I've been meaning to ask this as well. The security entrance, oh look here's damar!! *cuts to indistinguishable silhouette barely visible through snow storm* Just kinda funny
