Punting stats are really interesting to look at. The Bengals have the 9th fewest punts in the NFL at 59 punts, but as we all know the Bills have the fewest number of punts at 45. What's interesting is massive leap that the Bills took offensively in 2020 is reflected in punt numbers. In 2019, a year that the Bills made the playoffs, they had the fourth most punts at 79. The following year, they had the fewest number of punts at 41.

Everything you write Bengals fans could also write. They keep winning despite playing some bad football for stretches. joe Burrow was outplayed by Tyler Huntley last week. They needed a fumble return to win last week. Neither team has played to their potential in months. But the Bills are playing at home.

I’m in the same boat, but because I live in Cincinnati so that was the game on my main screen every week. The Bills, of all teams, were a much better rushing team than the Bengals. The Bengals will make plays in the passing game, but they will also go cold. Their only two blowouts were against bad teams (Falcons and Panthers) at home. They shouldn’t blow us out, but we may have to win a close one. These are big boy games.

I’ll just say this. If Edmunds wasn’t hurt at all this year, we would have 1 loss. He’s that big of a key to how we defend the middle of the field.

Just as an aside, I’m happy that we’re finally here. This is a huge game between two powerhouse teams. I dreamed of being in this game for the better part of two decades. Win or lose, the Buffalo Bills are part of the conversation. Burrow also has to play better than he did against Baltimore two weeks in a row. He didn’t turn it over, but he took no risks. You can’t beat the Bills by playing it safe. Should be an epic game.

Maybe Vegas knows something, but the 49ers are only 3 point favorites at home against the Cowboys. As an objective observer that seems really low.

If trolling is an art, Airseven is Van Gogh. Best troll I have ever seen on any sports message board.

Ha. They’re really lippy right about now.

And if they play like they did against the Ravens they’ll lose. Something has got to give.

I don't know, but they did. But that game was weird. If the Chiefs score a TD at the end of the first half, the Chiefs probably go to the Super Bowl and Tyreek Hill is still a member of the Chiefs.

Everyone, go look at this and tell me how the Bengals are like an unbeatable team that you cannot afford to make any mistakes against. https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/schedule/_/name/cin/cincinnati-bengals

You could swap Burrow and Josh if you wanted to. Their games are just so different that its hard to compare. But Josh at 5? That's pure trolling.

For years, the answer to Who Dey? was pretty much everyone and especially the Steelers.

For some reason, this Nick Wright exchange got under my skin. Yeah, people say that he's seeking attention. But he could criticize Joe Burrow and get just as much attention but he never does. In fact, no one ever says a negative thing about St. Joe. He's thrown 2 fewer interceptions than Josh this year, but none of his INTs are ever his fault. A stat line of 209 and 1 TD in a playoff game and they are measuring him for a gold jacket on the NFL Network. He was outplayed by Tyler Huntley FCS. Also, people in Cincinnati are getting out of hand. Women on Facebook are showing off their Sam Hubbard needlepoints. I had a grandmother yell "Who DEY!!!" at me in a Kroger parking lot and she was with her grandkids.

The Bengals come out of the locker room after HT of the AFC CG and started rushing only three and dropping eight. That wasn't a HT adjustment?

He's the scout team Tee Higgins, much like Tavon Austin was the scout team Lamar Jackson.

The players must like this combo the best.

I remember that game well. I was 14. They did the Icky Shuffle all over the Bills in Riverfront Stadium. It was the Bills first AFC Championship Game. It was the first time that the Bills disappointed me. It would not be the last.

This is what I came in here to post. Patmon is being paid for a week to simulate Higgins in practice. Broughton is just a standard roster move. The Bills released him on Saturday and are bringing him back on Tuesday.

Just like Josh in that way.

Ross will do it just to spite Goodel.

Elway is perhaps the best comparison, but Josh throws for a lot more yards and runs for a lot more yards than Elway ever did. But that is probably a function of era and rules. I'm too young to remember Bert Jones. His rookie year is the year that I was born.

Hodgins is the #1 WR in NY and is getting the targets that come with that. Good for him that he's making the most of that chance, but I'm sure that the Giants will upgrade the position in the off season.
