Uhhh, can't bengals fans go online right now and buy tickets to a potential AFCCG in cinci against jags?

The rules don't consider what would have happened in the wiped out game, just that a game that was previously on the schedule no longer exists, and now there's a games played disparity. I agree that maximum fairness would involve replaying the game but there was no time to do so, and they want to minimize and avoid if all possible frilly things like coin flips. Bengals shouldn't have thrown 5 picks or whatever against the steelers if they wanted to host this one.

No, the concession is because the teams involved did not play an equal number of games, such that in theory being allowed to catch up would change the standings. The bills and bengals played in the same number of games

How is this correct? Our last 19 games we are 15-4. This takes us back to the end of last regular season. We won our last 4, but lost 2 before that. So our last 25 games we are 19-6. Then we went W L W L, saints colts jets jags. That gets us to 21-8 in our last 29 games.

No, he's dreadful. He comes in blinded by his own team and insults the posters here who are objectively more correct than he is, cloaking everything he says with an air of objectivity that isn't there. I've almost never used the ignore feature in my years reading this place and I had to bust it out for him. The Pats fan is far better and was far less arrogant even when ne was good

This guy is the worst poster on this board, in record time too

Yeah, Caesar is both blind and a Homer. Look at that neck twisting to make sure he nails Allen's leg. Unreal.

at least 3 of those sacks was Allen deciding to step between his linemen to try and scramble, being baited by dolphins defenders, who then closed the gap. And if you actually read my post, it'll help you remember that the other ones are because of the dolphins rushing 5, 6, 7, and 8 players all game long. The strip sack was a DB or LB coming in off the edge, where no protection was available. But yeah, "muh seven sacks"

I would put money on Cinci not running cover 0 even one time. They don't play that way, certainly not against good QBs. They will be 2 high all day long. Allen will be able to scramble and the short/intermediate game will open up. The game will look completely different than yesterday.

Lol, Miami blitzed more people more times than I've ever seen in a game before yesterday. I'm not sure I saw the Ravens send more than 4 more than a couple of times

I generally thought the OL played well considering the amount of 0 and 1 Miami was playing And think that like last year, they got better in December/January Saffold is a problem though, and Brown is only sliiiiiightly improved from last year

That's because, a string of 4 Bills offensive possessions went like this: 1.) interception, returned like 50 yards deep into buffalo territory 2.) punt return 50+ yards deep into buffalo territory 3.) interception returned to 1st and goal 4.) strip sack fumble touchdown

*ball doinks off of a receiver's chest and into a DB's arms* HOW DARE YOU JOSH ALLEN Josh, why did you quit running john brown's route?

According to Sal, in the last 180 playoff games (16 years) only 7 teams allowed fewer yards per play than the Buffalo Bills did yesterday

I've hit a point where no matter how loud the TV is I don't hear what announcers and commentators are saying.

I do have confidence in Frazier, he was very good yesterday and his unit was prepared. Dolphins had 15 drives yesterday and only one went longer than like 35 yards. It took them like 70 plays to accumulate what, 230 yards? I've watched the Ravens defense ***** the bed all year I feel like.

There was a block in the back on the Dolphins last offensive play too. Had elam not broken it up, I was ready to go ballistic.

Why am I reading this ***** on this board? Where's the mod bat signal

I found myself far more often pleased with the defensive play and discipline than upset with it. This view is matched by every trusted football mind I've come across discussing this game, particularly the film guys at cover 1. I genuinely don't know what game some of you were watching. Our offense had four straight drives of: interception, return deep into buf territory punt return deep into buf territory interception deeeeeeeeeeep into buf territory fumble rec TD the defense gave up one touchdown in that circumstance to a team with 2 of the best offensive weapons in the league the defense gave up 1 touchdown on a legit drive out of like 15 drives the defense gave up far less than 300 yards of offense despite being hung out to dry repeatedly for 5 hours the defense held hill and waddle to far less than half of their average per game combined production

We dont have the Ravens' D? Weren't they the worst pass defense through a fairly significant stretch of the schedule?

Like many of you, I feel quite a bit more reassured that the Bengals aren't some super team to be afraid of. They are certainly good, certainly capable of beating the Bills or the Chiefs. But they aren't special. If we can get through this one, Jacksonville's defense is going to have a better chance of taking down KC than the Ravens would. If we can get the Bills except for the ones that played those 4 consecutive drives to sandwich halftime, we will win this game by two scores. If we get too much of those halftime bills, we will lose by two scores

I wonder if bengals fans are crying and shidding and farding right now

Wait, you're telling me the game doesn't end when the Bengals score on their first 2 drives?

I think our defensive fundamentals were outstanding. Players made their reads, held gap integrity, and covered the best weapons in the league well enough to hold them to probably their lowest total on the season. Miami probably had 15 drives and only one of them was a full-field TD drive. You're not gonna make every play, especially against Hill and Waddle, but they never let them get loose for the big one, and made a bunch of huge plays. If that defense comes to play and we get the normal bills offense without the obscenities of the middle 20 minutes, we can win the super bowl. But I worry that this IS the normal bills offense at this point. They threw a pick, and lazily gave up a 50 yard return. They gave up a 50 yard punt return. Another pick returned inside the 20, and then a strip sack touchdown. 4 drives in a row. Obscene. "Muh defense"

Last night's game was an all-time classic and he called it like it was bingo night at the retirement home. He is not fine. Last night was a disgrace to the game.
