If the bengals offense is the death of the Bills defense, it’s very very bad news. The LOS should be pretty one sided. 

Dalton though.

Yes, that would be very bad news. They need to be able to beat Andy Dalton at home. Sorry. If they don’t its a bad loss and you move on.

bengals have no run game as of yet but their pass game seems to put up some yards.  Just as we were worried about barkley we should be worried about boyd and ross.  those guys can break one.

Allen hasn’t arrived yet. We’ve yet to see him have a 300yd game let alone a 350 or 400 yard one. The Bills are very much a defensive driven team. If our defense gives up points early on against a seasoned Bengals offense, can Allen lead us back? Is he there yet in his development as a player? 

 

I stand and by it. If our defense stands strong, we win. If they do not, I think Buffalo loses this one. This will not be an easy game for us, Dalton is a seasoned vet with playoff experience.

 

I agree that the Bills secondary and defense in general need a good game against Dalton and the Bengals.

I'm just saying that the Bills offense needs to show up too.  Bills O could get shut down with 6 points or they could put up 30+.

It's football and that's what makes it fun and unpredictable.

Go Bills.

McDermott doesn't seem to be the kind of guy that let's his players think anything is an easy win.

That's a good thing!  Being a BILLS fan we all know there are no "easy" W's.

They had to pass all day yesterday and abandoned the run because they were behind.

They almost beat Seattle. They may not be a great running team but they got decent passing protection, good receivers and Dalton throwing the ball. He’s 68-52 as a starter. 

 

Pride comes before fall, let’s not let our arrogance undo us.

true but week one they didn't run either.  they seem to be going with a very lop sided pass game.

There is zero arrogance. I don’t know where you get that, at all. They almost beat Seattle because Seattle played poorly until the 4th qtr. They had no film of them under Zac. They didn’t expect them to come out throwing it all over.

Mixon got banged up week 1 too. Not sure what Taylor is doing yet.

I’ve always respected Dalton since his days at TCU, the guy is no bull####. Our defense is very young, our nuclei is very young. We should and will win if our defense stands tall.

sorry, dalton hasn't done much since 2014, the last time his team was in the playoffs.

 

his playoff record is nothing to brag about either.  

 

Andy Dalton’s playoff stats: 0-4-0, 57.8 passer rating, 873 yards, 1 TD, 6 INT.

 

 

defense should take care of business, this isn't the early career dalton they're facing.

Which seems to be Zac Taylor's philosophy.  His limited time in Miami they were 32nd in rushing attempts.

It will be interesting to see how it shakes out to start Sunday.

Wendy's Chili is better than Skyline chili.  It's such a disappointment.  Weak flavor,  etc.  

 

Wendy’s beats that crap hands down! Who wants a runny chili with cinnamon in it? Not me! Even after we closed the bars in college I stayed away from that stuff. Almost anything (or nothing) is a better option!

Same here. I'm scrambling trying to figure out a way to get up there from NC because it is going to be LOUD.

I'll boil it down to one simple statement -- there is really no such thing as a  "trap game."  Teams favored to win their next game against an "inferior" opponent do so at the same rate whether or not there is a perceived "big game" the following week on their schedule.
