Mark92 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 The Bills have a shot and it's at home. The rest will have played itself out come Sunday around 7pm.

How the Bengals felt about the seeding is a totally different subject that's detached from how they felt about Damar and the Bills that night. To say they're related is to suggest that if they had to do it over again, they'd have insisted on resuming the game that night because if they won, things would be different now. That incident affected their players and staff too. Edited January 16, 2023 by Billz4ever 1

But, maybe they should just keep their mouths shut. 2

But by like Wednesday of that week all their players and their coach were bitching about the scenarios. I get that it affected them negatively but it seemed like a pretty quick turnaround from empathy to self pity. They certainly had a reason to complain, I’m not gonna hold that against them too much. They continued to show compassion towards Hamlin-one thing doesn’t cancel that out 2 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Not going to be easy but you just have to take care of business somehow. The score doesn’t matter, how we get there doesn’t matter. Find a way. Won’t be easy for them either 2 1

If the NFL is willing to do it for KC vs BUF then they should have done it for CIN vs BUF. The league was in a tough spot and almost got it right so it was fair to all. 2 1

The fair thing to do would’ve been to give KC the bye since they were 14-3. The divisional game this week should’ve been at neutral site and if the Bills win KC comes to us (we overtake the 1 seed assuming we win at the neutral site) and the Bengals goto KC if they beat us since they wouldn’t have been able to get to 14 wins regardless of the outcome of our canceled game.

NFL was willing to do it for BUF/KC, because KC still got a bye week and the "easier" path. Fwiw, I'm beyond sick of the Bengals shtick. Really hope the Bills come out Sunday with some demon energy and beat up the Bengals. They just talk and talk and talk. Send them home and shut them up. 2 2 3

Who said they were phony? I am saying they should maybe have not bitched about the situation publicly. I am certain that they cared about the incident but they can just leave it at that. You keep putting words in my mouth to try to prove your point.

The one spot where they definitely have an advantage is at WR, but their line is beat up so bad Burrow won’t have the time to take full advantage ofnthem Allen was sacked, what, 7 times yesterday? Bengals beat up O line probably matches ours 1

If the NFL is willing to do it for KC vs BUF then they should have done it for CIN vs BUF. The league was in a tough spot and almost got it right so it was fair to all. It's a completely different situation. Bills and Bengals played the same number of games. Bills were 13-3 and Bengals 12-4. It's cut and dry. It's like the game was never scheduled. Chiefs and Bills played a different number of games, which is the only reason they have a better winning percentage. The bills didn't have an equal opportunity. The Bengals did. It's not hard to comprehend. Edited January 16, 2023 by Process 1

They have legit gripes that even Bills fans can acknowledge. They are completely separate issues, but you keep trying to combine their beef with the league with their feelings about Damar and the Bills. 1 1

Forunately for both they were able to win after a tough battle with a division rival. The Bills went up 17-0 and perhaps got complacent? Momentum turned and Bills struggled to get it back...but they did.
billsherd Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Bills D coaches might be able to game plan better hopefully after watching the Bengals O from that suspended match up. Just to see how they were planning to attack our D, any advantage at this point is welcomed. 1

Burrow/Bengals would've had the same opps we had to utterly obliterate the Dolphins, but in the process Burrow would've left the game bloodied. Dolphins played that game one way, and it was focused on hitting the QB with a Defensive Line that is quantum leaps beyond what the Ravens have. 1 2

Momentum turned and Bills struggled to get it back...but they did. That's exactly what I thought happened. I think the Bills thought they'd go in and get up by 3/4 scores and figured the Dophins would pack it in. Allen missed a wide open Knox to go up 21-0 and suddenly it was tied at 17. 2
Max Fischer Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 - IMO, the top story all week will be the state of the Bengals offensive line. Right now, it Cincinnati could be down three starters, including both tackles. - The Ravens defense is great but even so, the Bengals could not run and their pass protection was poor. - On their first possession of the second half Bengals scored a TD (and added a two point conversion) to go up 17-10. - This was their first possession after LT Jonah Williams got hurt. They drove 83 yards for the score. - However, after that possession, the Bengals went: 3 plays, 8 yards 6 plays, 13 yards 3 plays, -1 yard Three possessions is a VERY small sample size but if it were the Bills, most would find it disconcerting. 4 1
