Gotta say

 

i love how Bengals fans and media are using last years playoff success as a measuring stick for burrow

 

gane 1 against the raiders - Whoopi!!!! 
 

game two against a SHOT tennessee titans team - yes they were the 1 seed but everyone knew they werent the big boys

 

then KC after our emotional thriller

 

idk. I don’t give them much credit for it - maybe I am under estimating.

 

I don’t find their 9 game win streak impressive at all

 

I don’t see their playoff run impressive 

 

and I do see they are REALLY lucky and have been all year

 

so whatever 

 

Cinci is a good team.

 

They remind me of our Bills... elite QB, and some stars on offense and defense, but a few holes too.

 

They probably have a chip on their shoulder based on the fact that they represented the AFC last season and all anyone could say is that it should have been the Bills.

 

After the offseason all the prognosticators were saying it was going to be the Bills and KC with the Bills going to the SB.

 

They were treated like their run last season was an anomaly.

 

Should be a very competitive game, but I am expecting another down to the wire nail biter.

Not going to argue with you there as far as his offensive mind.  Makes me wish McD was more of an offensive-minded coach. With Frazier, not much need for McD to get involved with the Defense.

Oh same here drove me insane…

 

The most frustrating part? They never even worked.

 

Same thing with the 13 Second debacle last year

At least he won a challenge 😄.

 

I'll never get over Diggs' reaction here, lmao.

Listening to the radio here in San Diego, and the gents were talking about the game this weekend.

Kept bringing up Josh Allen is a turn over machine and this past week he did this and that...  anyways..

 

It made me think, how come when the media heads talk about the Bills offense they are not bringing up that it is an Offense being lead by a FIRST TIME OC?  and maybe, just maybe, the offense is misfiring at times due to design vs defenses, vs timing of play calls etc..  but nope.

 

I remember plain as day, when the Steelers had a new OC and roethlisberger was struggling, they pointed it more towards the OC and not the QB.  

 

another post, I read that media heads will hold onto their initial evaluation of Josh from when he was drafted and any time Josh does something negative, they act like the last 3 years the Bills haven't been a top team with Josh leading it.  

 

And isn't it funny how they don't call Lawrence a "turnover machine" in spite of his throwing four bad INT's in the first half last week? And if Allen is a "turnover machine" what does that-make Dak Prescott given all the INT's he's thrown in 5 fewer games then Allen?

I keep thinking about how aggressive the offense was against Miami and thinking that they are just getting warmed up. Josh is going to be slinging the rock a lot against Cincy and continue to aggressively take those deep shots. Miami was just a test run for what to expect later.

I actually hope we were on the ball get up on Cincinnati and then start grinding out the clock

Strange, isn't it. Once these talking heads get a narrative in their heads, they look for all else to support that narrative. It's really just basic confirmation bias. It's nothing new. Here is Francis Bacon writing in 1620:

 

I think my favorite narrative this season was against the pats. We had 2 kick offs returned for TDs and Allen only had 250ish yards and turnovers.

 

That's two offensive drives they didn't have because of special teams TDs but he was mocked for it for the reason of "I must make fun of Josh Allen".

Flawed logic here. The Bengals aren't the Bills. Plus, the Bengals have vast experience playing with a poor oline. Sure it's not an ideal or great situation. The Bengals went to the Super Bowl with a terrible Oline. Lastly, the Bills just played a Miami team that had practice squad players on their Oline. The Dolphins oline might be worse than the Bengals current Oline. The Bills Dline was somewhat disappointing vs Miami. They have to play better be Cinci. 

Whatever meds you’ve been taking- take more.

The bengals oline last year is an all pro squad compared to what they’ll likely have Sunday.  Not saying they won’t find a way to gut out a win but come on now lol  
 

also Miami had two great offensive linemen Connor Williams and terron armstead.  If you’ve got a few guys that you know can reliably hold up in one on one matchups it gets a lot easier to gameplan around having a couple bad players.  

cincy will have one mediocre olinemen and then the rest are bad. 
 

Miami keeps a ton of extra guys in to block too…they run heavier packages than cincy.  If cincy wants to do the same to help their oline out  they will have to sacrifice some routes from skill position players.

 Throw in another possession lost on the NE punt in the 4th quarter when it touched Taiwan Jones(?) and NE recovered.

 

 And Gabe dropping a perfectly thrown 49 yard td pass in the 4th quarter.

My favorite for this week has been how since burrow didn’t play a great game this past week they’ve been referencing all of last years postseason(which was honestly quite pedestrian) as an argument for him going forward. But I’ve not see one person bring up Allen’s historic 2 game run from last season. Every show is “how many more to’s will Allen have this week?” 
 

It’s honestly baffling. Watching the tv today one would have thought the Bills were a 9-8 Cinderella 7 seed as opposed to a 14-3 team coming into the week on a freaking 8 game win streak. How do the Bills even stand a chance against Burrow and his 7 tds in 5 playoff games!!!???

They kind of are.  Josh is either on (1) and they do great or off (0) and they do not so great.

Im glad someone got the joke.  Not that it was a good one but hey, I tried 😃

 

And with that said this is my 15k post and I just made all pro.  Too bad it wasnt a better post for it =(

I don't understand how everyone seems to think Cincy wins the game but yet the point spread keeps moving the other way 

[Success]

Burrow & Mahomes get so much more respect than Josh.

 

JA was perfect in the playoffs last year.  9 TD's, no picks.  One of the best, most clutch games a QB has had in the playoffs.

 

But he is getting so disrespected this week - by pundits, by opposing fans.  It's a little frustrating to see & read it all as a fan, but I have a feeling he's going to have one of those "sssssshhhhh" games on Sunday.
