Just because a couple olineman might be out, our DL post Von acl has been underwhelming. If Joe is given too much time we're in trouble. Ah our staters are so bad missing 3 of the offensive lineman mean nothing at all. I mean you're right we have been lucky in every win we've had. We won't stop them one time on offense and we prolly won't score either right. If you're missing 3 lineman it's nothing against this crap Bills team. I have a real question why watch the game then? 1 1

You’re right in that was the practice for a long time. Now, they actually try to use analytics to figure out what the home field is worth in any given game. It’s usually closer to 1.5 but it varies. Here is a discussion of this: https://amp.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-odds-how-much-home-field-advantage-worth-spread Yea I got that. I am an old guy so excuse my dated knowledge. I gotta go.

If that’s the case then agree to disagree. They dropped huge passes yesterday that are big plays and beat us. I’m not ok whatsoever with the Defense. If you are good, it is what it is. Way too many ppl talking about Dolphins dropped passes... 1. 1st drive: Waddle drops a 40+yards. No points on drive, likely a FG at least if caught. 2. 1st half: Hill drops a 7 yard slant. No points on drive. 50/50 if this would have led to a FG. 3. 1st half: Wilson drops a pass in the flat. Would have been no gain either way, Dolphins got a FG on this drive Please mention the other drops. If anything, our tackling was an issue as we let them convert a couple drives that should have been stops. Bottom line, our defense played great 2nd half 1
Motor26 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 8 minutes ago, HappyDays said: I worry that Rousseau has hit the wall this season. He didn't play football in 2021 and only started 15 games in college. Realistically he was never going to reach his full potential until year 3 but because of Miller's injury we've had to give him more snaps than we'd like the past few weeks. A weakened Rousseau and an uninspiring cast of pass rushers around him does not bode well for a 3 game run against championship caliber teams. But that's what we'll have to overcome. Would help if Frazier decided to bring more than 4 at times. Seemed like every time the Dolphins were in 3rd and long he just dropped 7 instead of dialing up the pressure on the rookie QB. 2
DuckyBoys Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 need to tackle better Several conversions given up were a result of multiple missed tackles Milano likes to hurtle his body at carriers and whiffs and Edmunds looks like he's afraid of contact at times Both need to tackle better along with the litany of dbs we employ
sullim4 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Carl Cheffers is the referee. We last saw him in Week 16 against Chicago... which left a bit to be desired, imo. https://www.footballzebras.com/2023/01/hochuli-blakeman-cheffers-and-vinovich-are-divisional-playoff-referees/

They know what he's capable of doing on the ground and I can't see them just rolling the dice there. The spy could even be Josh's teammate at Wyoming...Logan Wilson. He's been spying on Josh since college? That's crooked. 1

And they just lost there starting left tackle, again to some on this board that means nothing but in reality being down 3 starting lineman can also determine a point spread.

SydneyBillsFan Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Current betting odds in Australia: Bills $1.41 Bengals $2.94 I think that is way too big of a differential. 1
mjt328 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Talked to a Bengals fan today at the gym. He is deathly afraid of the Bills, and worried his team is going to lose the upcoming game.

I hope they prove my fears unfounded, but these games are killing me!

And honestly that's just a betting line, if you consider the media talk and just the overall feeling from fans I'd say Cincy is the favorite. I don't think either team "feels" like the favorite coming in, both teams know they need their A game and anything less will likely send them home. 1
