1/2/23 Week 17 Gameday Bills @ Bengals Pregame Thread

[Ga boy]

Cold lock prediction:  Cook scampers like a runaway locomotive tonight with a 50+ yarder with blur speed.  Wait for it.  It will happen.  The corners will start trotting due to sheer hopelessness.  Maybe one will pull up with a fake hammy.  Somebody is about to be embarrassed on national tv.

That's awesome that he's playing through it.  From what I understand the torn meniscus is just flapping around in there and doesn't really affect you unless is gets caught wrong then it locks you up and hurts like a B word 'til it moves again.  I know someone who has this issue but won't get the surgery and just live with it.  idk

I lived with it for around 15 years. Now I'm not athletic but I did used to bike a lot and workout. There was pain but it was come and go. I forgot about it most of the time until I got older and it became a big problem.

So why would the Bengals call up a QB?

 

Either they just want to reward him with a game check, or something’s up with Brandon Allen.  Or maybe with … Burrow.  👀

Well technically he will see us again THIS year.

 

Twice even.  Next Fall.

[oldmanfan]

Should be a helluva game.  I am stunned by how little respect we’re getting, even from some of our own fans.  
 

I think we’ll pick on their corners, and Frazier and McD will have ways to slow down their WRs.  Bills win.

I read a little bit about it, and from what I read, it sounds like surgery is a last resort. I guess most Dr's actually try and avoid any kind of surgery, which I think is good?

The Bengals saw what Milano did to Tua and Mike White.

I tried to play hockey through a torn meniscus. I'd be fine until my knee was struck a certain way. PAIN!

I think when it comes to our fans, we're just trying to not set ourselves up for dissapontment. At least I know I am. I know the bills are good enough to beat the Bengals, but I keep reminding myself we haven't locked down the one seed yet

[Bookie Man]

I feel oddly good about this game. I'm feelin a DD win.

[stevestojan]

As long as Frazier doesn’t resort to his standard “don’t prepare at all for defense on the first drive; it’s fun to be down by 7 early” approach, I think we have a shot.

And the Bengals got to the Super Bowl last year from, was it the fourth seed?

 

Yep.  Rams too.  Last year was #4 vs #4

I think I’m more worried about the stagnant passing game than our defense

I’m almost resigned to this happening at this point.  lol.

Yeah, you’d think Dorsey would have been paying attention last week when we were 3 feet away from having two 100 yard rushers in a game, and maybe just maybe keep that going. I understand this is a completely different (see: better) defense, but today won’t be the day of 60 passes from Josh winning it for us.

Feels like a trick play is in the offing or maybe some Wildcat.

 Our offense has scored an average of 33.5 points a game over the last 2 weeks. The highest 2 week average since weeks 1 & 2. All while spreading the ball around and finally committing to being a balanced offense. It's all good.👍
