Why do they want the Chiefs to win?

my bet is that they or "friends"  bet on the game.  If you haven't seen the "OPI" call t is ridiculous IMO.

If I did film study for the Bengals which game should I watch to give me a full idea? 

I want to see why the bengals lost to the browns on October 30th

Because the Line was terrible, burrow was sacked like 6x, no chase, couldn't convert 3rd downs. Burrow was under duress the whole game

Bengals line has improved first 8 games 29 sacks allowed, last 8 only 10

Alright.

 

I thought with the spread that the talking heads would land about 50/50.

 

But at least a little love our way.

 

 

The predictions I saw, like 8 ppl had Bengals winning by a combined 13 points or something. No one has ball$ enough to say anything but very close win, which protects them if they were wrong.

Are the Bengals trying to just give the Bills defense bulletin board material or what?"

Based on tonight's game so far, I sure hope not!!

One thing about the Bengals:  They have been pretty bad this year when it comes to dealing with scrambling QBs.  From that perspective alone, Allen is a nightmare matchup for them.  Also, this is primetime Allen.  He's gonna gash 'em for big chunks on the ground and then make 'em pay downfield.

 

Morse is back.

The weather is good.

The Defense will be motivated by all the trash talk.

Buffalo WILL be able to run against the Bengals.

Diggs are Knox are gonna have big games.

 

Sure, the Bengals are the media darlings right now, but the Bills are a top tier team that has been wisely keeping their mouths shut.  The silence is deafening.

 

Bills 35.  Bengals 24.

there is a whole lotta verbal mumbo jumbo going on regarding 2nd and 3rd seed. Maybe lets play Cinci and see where we stand? The Bills control their own destiny for a change  but you wouldnt know it by reading here JUST WIN Buffalo and quiet the doubters

 

that is all

I hope the Bills use a change up and dress Cole AND Brown even if that means sitting the kid since they aren’t throwing to him anyway. The Bengals play dime man on 3rd downs, so stretch the field with Brown and Gabe and make them Cover Diggs / Cole / McKenzie over the middle with their young corners. I know it’s Browns last call up in the regular season without being put on the squad but we don’t need him next week.

Bengals avg. 25 points in last 5 games. Bills avg. 28 points in last 5 but had some crazy weather inhibiting.

Bills 34 - Bengals 27

He got on the plane?

 

Did he?  Didn’t see him in the pics

 

BTW pretty sure that’s Roger Saffold walking next to Josh Allen, and if so holy Toledo it explains how he gets pushed around, he looks no bigger than Allen.  He does not look like a top OLman

[Paul Costa]

Bills are better in all 3 aspects of the game. 37-24 Bills. Solid win.

He's in the boarding video at about 22 seconds in.

100% not Saffold walking next to Josh in the photos.  Not sure who it is, but it's not Roger.

 

Saffold is built like a truck, not like a WR/DB.

 

Edit: took another look at the boarding photos, and looked like Dean Marlowe walking next to Josh.

I think it was one of the Cover 1 guys talking about 3-man rushes out of a blitz look that has consistently given Burrow trouble all season.

 

Usually it takes a defeat for the Bills to make an adjustment to their zone heavy schemes so I'm not sure we'll see much of it this go-round. 

 

Conversely, Allen had been one of the worst QBs against the blitz this season ... I think like 30th out of 35 qualified passers. I do think the Bengals DC is great at finding a team's weakness. That's not against pressure, where he's been really good. That in itself is an odd stat. 

 

I'm really curious how the two defenses adjust and play the opposing QBs in this game.

They’re putting Shakir on the field a fair amount recently  - 16,12 , 22, 25 snaps or 20-39%

They have to be liking something he’s doing for them - maybe blocking down field?  You can’t expect a lot of blocking from McKenzie, Cole, and Brown or as Beane once said “the Smurfs”

OK, I saw the glimpse that time.  In the white puffer jacket.

 

You see what I mean about Saffold though?  Seriously, he looks like a TE

Should Elam be matched up against Chase? Or we going with White?

I can’t say for sure, but it would make sense that he would be out there to block.  The other guys are useless. Maybe that will be a wrinkle we’re saving-  teams may read run when he’s out there….. then bang, go deep!
