You are correct on the flip flop. But to your point if Josh plays well they will remind you how they were in his corner to start the year. I agree if we lose to the Bengals or the Chiefs it’s a huge blow for sure. Because the Bills are us as fans have the SB as the expectation. Expand These guys are paid per hot take. If you polled NFL fans nationwide, you would no doubt see Bills over Bengals in the SB. The pressure is on. Quote

Now on the other side Aaron Rogers was going nuts praising Josh on Pat Mcafees show. So a guy with 4 MVPS thinks our QB is pretty good isn’t a bad thing.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 If you look at the game without bias, the Bengals are the more talented and better team. Put a healthy Von Miller on the Bills and a lot would change. 1 Quote

They haven't said it but I would think they're guessing Burrow will have a field day throwing against our secondary. Expand To that end, there's a very simple reality here. We have GOT to pressure Burrow and get him uncomfortable. DE's need to get after it and Frazier needs to come out of the gate with built in stunting and blitzing. Keep that banged up line and Burrow on their heels. He doesn't always have the greatest sense of the pocket and we need to exploit it. 1 Quote

Drew21PA Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Followed up on The Herd with Colin Cowherd stating “cincinatti will blow them out” interesting comments and commentary consistently flowing from FS1 media personnel Quote
Chicken Boo Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 It's going to be a close game. The Bengals have risen to the occasion this year instead of sulking like most Super Bowl losers do. They're motivated, led by an elite QB and while young, they have the experience. The Bills cannot afford 3 turnovers in this game. Quote
TheyCallMeAndy Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 4 turnovers by the offense and they will. Zero mistakes and if Burrow keeps meeting the turf Bills will win. 2 3 Quote
RoyBatty is alive Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Joe Burrow of course doesn't see themselves as underdogs, he is way too cocky and needs to be humbled Sunday. And Colin is doing his job, making bold controversial statements that people wil quote. 1 2 1 Quote
