It was against the Falcons, Steelers and Panthers. Looking at their roster, it seems like they should score 35 points at will, but for some reason they don’t. I haven't watched more than a couple Bengals games but i get the impression they try to establish the run game, and stick with it. That will run the clock and keep the scores lower, and theoretically the games closer. I know they can go off and throw a bunch when they want to as well, but maybe they try to stick to the run first formula.

The Bengals have the 4th fewest rushing attempts in the NFL. 2

That's not what people are saying. In several games Allen has been reckless and made poor throws that resulted in INT's. The Jets & Vikings games come to mind. But yesterday neither of the INT's were poor throws. The first INT was a play that EVERY Bill's receiver should know how to execute - when the pocket breaks down and Allen is on the move head for the end zone. Brown seemed lost on that play. But I don't fault him as the bigger problem is why are the Bills using WR's who two months ago was out of the game? The 2nd INT was a good throw that bounced off Beasley's hand/chest into the hands of a Dolphin player. On top of that there should have been a flag for interference on that play. Now we all know that stuff like this happens in the NFL and it's just a bad break. But in NO WAY was that pass reckless or poorly thrown. 6

I get it he’s our guy but he isn’t playing well right now. And the Diggs play was a clear incompletion. We didn’t get jobbed on anything that play. You do understand it’s a unit right? It’s not just Allen on the field. If a WR breaks off a route, that’s not Allen. If a pass hits a guy in the chest and get picks off, that’s not Allen. The fumble, that was Allen. A couple off target passes thrown to WRs, that was Allen. I’m sure if you broke down the sacks, some could be on Allen and some could be on the oline. All year this offense has been inconsistent with the exception of Diggs. We can go through player after player picking apart their play, Allen is the only guy whose play is really effected by everybody though. Edited January 16, 2023 by BananaB 2

Bengal fans are saying the same thing about the Bills. This is playoff football. Every team still standing is dang good. 3

They came out pretty aggressively throwing the ball in the Monday night game against us, so we'll have to see if they stay with that or try to establish the run.

A little more specificity please. You can make an argument that both interceptions were not his fault. The Diggs reversal was the right call. His left foot didn't stay on the ground long enough for securing possession. Shakir has gotta make that long catch but he did redeem himself later. The JA fumble and td was all on Josh. He saw the blitz but couldn't secure the ball properly. The Bills have been winning sloppy games all year. Maybe that's our destiny. I don't think we're ever having that perfect game in all 3 phases. We're going to need to grind out sloppy performances into a W. As simple as that. 1
ColoradoBills Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) First off, I'm taking Van Miller's advice and installing a seat belt on my recliner for Sunday's game! Secondly, I'm not going to think that Ken Dorsey and Josh Allen are going to change the way they game plan. It's all about big plays down the field. Josh loves his sugar and Ken is giving it to him like undiluted Queen-O syrup. (That reference is for all you fellow "old timers" on the board.) LOL. I'm all in on that because that's the way it is and if there was ever a QB in NFL history that can do that, it's Josh Allen. Finally, knowing now the way it is, I can pace my cocktails accordingly to prevent my liver from further damage for the duration of this Superbowl run. Go Bills.

Every member of this team, on both sides, contributes. What's pretty special about Allen is that he's got the mental and emotional skill to handle the pressure that falls on a QB. He's a tremendous leader. The going is getting tougher and everyone on this team needs to improve a bit, just a bit, for us to win next Sunday. 1

If we win say 24-21 the offense stinks and we won't be able to beat KC lol. That's what I'm expecting on this board if we win either way tbh Edited January 16, 2023 by BillzFreak 2

rayray808 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Brutal day for Bills and Bengals... but they both survived. Home field is crucial in this one. Both teams can win. Only one will, and I hope it's us but man... it's gonna be tough. 4
Airseven Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 35 minutes ago, Coffeesforclosers said: And it's not like Cincy won on a 99 yard fumble return off a backup Ravens QB. Ravens were physical on both lines of scrimmage, ran the ball effectively, controlled clock, and were able to stack multiple stops defensively in the second half. They match up well with the Bengals to at least be competitive even without a QB. The fact that game was close does not reflect on how the Bills match up with the Bengals. 1 1 1

I struggle to say the Ravens did much of anything effectively. Same with the Bengals, outside of that first quarter. I do agree with your last point though.
zow2 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 I'm still bitter about the January 1989 AFC Championship loss at Cincinnati. That one hurt. Final was 21-10. The Bills need to avenge that L. 1 4
