Crazy to think how long this was a thing in the NFL. The local blackouts if your team didn't sell out the stadium. Hasn't been for a long long time now

OK so what?

The issue I see is that the Bengals might have the best skill players in the NFL as a whole and yet the Bills are ahead of them offensively in pretty much every metric other than pass yards(which likely is due to weather conditions playing a large factor lately). The Bengals go cold for long stretches and always seem to leave you feeling they should be better than they actually are for the talent they have on offense. The difference? Josh Allen.

I pointed out that the Bengals have put those numbers up in a combined roughly 250ish less snaps than the Bills trio has, which is the equivalent of about 4 full games worth of snaps.

Ehh...Bass is a big hit for Beane and Davis in the 4th round is not nothing. For as much hate as he gets around here, 800 yards as a #2 WR isn't nothing.

According to PFR, Greg Rousseau has the 5th highest AV of any player in the draft class, at 10, right behind Jamar Chase at 13. This could turn out to be one of the best Bills value picks of all time.

They quit on their coach. That coach is now gone. Now those players have to worry about having a job next year and putting good things on tape for the next coach or the next team.

To be fair tho, the Bengals 3 have 2,170 snaps amongst them while the Bills have 2,447 snaps among them. Or to put it another way, those 3 Bills all have more snaps than the highest Bengal(Boyd at 749). So in reality on a per snap basis, the Bengals are doing more. 277 extra snaps is about 4 games worth or maybe 4.5 games.

At the stadium, apparently...I was with my own Mom too haha

same

with Poyer providing deep help instead of Cam Lewis.

My fault...I should have looked that up.

The 1994 Revenge game...Mark Brunell and Natrone Means "Business" helped knock us out of the playoffs in Kelly's last game, which unceremoniously ended with a concussion. I was there...the entire stadium sat stunned. Could have heard a pin drop.

Dobbs should be the starter next week...looked mostly good in a tough situation...had some bad drops that hurt him too...a few throws he'd want back but for a guy elevated off the practice squad he acquitted himself quite well I thought.

Well considering I was one of the few on the board who thought the Bills could win out in the regular season(based on what other SB winning teams had done from the midpoint of the season onwards), I'd say absolutely. The bigger the game, the better Allen plays.

We're on to Cincinnati.

Just cause the Chiefs can't beat them doesn't mean we won't. Josh Allen in PrimeTime is Must See TV

We won't lose.

I'm not sure I have ever heard this before...kind of funny why it never happened as both QBs fell out of favor on their respective teams. https://heavy.com/sports/new-york-jets/geno-smith-ej-manuel-buffalo-bills/amp/

Yes because they are less talented overall and try to make up for it with physicality. However it's too much of a gap to make up in the playoffs, which is why they lose usually early on.

They are playing their best game of the year...giving up almost nothing defensively and just buzzing all over in the RedWings zone...5-0 after two periods and it could be 8 or 9. Outshooting the RedWings 25-13.

Of course there is a way we win by double digits. The Bills if they bring their A game is going to beat any team in the NFL by double digits.
