I re-watched Q4 of the Dolphins game and was quite impressed about how we played on O, D and coaching (key timeout). Let it play itself out You are basing your concern on the first quarter of that game? There were stats posted which show that our D improves significantly after Q1. Your later part is more reasoned and thats what I am expecting on Sunday also. 8 plays = everything you need to know man. Cmon. You should know this by now 2

If they just did the same thing over and over, we would have a bottom ranked defense. Kelce hasn't been killing us over the years. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/travis-kelce-stats-vs-bills How does Jefferson having a great game against us mean we do not employ a true double team? Elam has been on the bench all season, because they love Jackson.

This didn't answer my question and no, Elam hasn't been on the bench all season. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/ElamKa00.htm Elam has been splitting time with Jackson since Tre has been back. All year long, Elam has played about 50% of the snaps. 2 2
benderbender Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 Nobody tell Nick Wright or any other professional 🧌
Beast Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 It is ridiculous to draw any conclusions from that first Bill/Bengals game. Neither defense looked good and it was very early in the game. Very rarely does the first 10 minutes of a game dictate was happens in the last 50. Lots of things happen. Who’s to say the very next play wouldn’t have been a pick 6 for the Bills or a TD for the Bengals? 2

EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 DID YOU KNOW? Excluding quarterbacks, the Buffalo Bills have a better yards per carry average than the Bengals, by almost a full yard!!!!! YET The NARRATIVE out there is that we cannot run the ball and that Josh has to do it all. I'm sick and tired of this team being misrepresented because of lazy pundits. Even the most prominent ones are being lazy...

Sunday 3:00 can't come soon enough to get it started (and then all over). If you listen to McDermott's locker room speech post victory and his Monday presser, he's down on the Bills erratic play himself (not just Allen - remember we had a muffed punt by Hines on the Buffalo 32 yd line recovered by Tyrel Dodson.) There's always recency bias in how the sports media covers teams. Josh Allen has commented in the past something like "Have a good game, you're great, the coaches are brilliant, you're gonna be champions. Have a bad game, you suck and we should fire all the coaches"

When asked if they will do anything different Leslie Fraser said they will stick with what got them here and do what they do best. So they are going to do the same thing and expect a different result? That's kind of scary. You can't say how the full game would go but Bengals definitely had the early momentum. This will be a tough game for sure and if the Bills want to prove the media wrong then they have to prove it Sunday Glad i didn't watch the Bears game with you. 🤮 1 1

Success Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 That narrative does seem to have shifted this past week. It now seems to be, who is better - Burrow or Mahomes? Allen became an afterthought in the "best" convo. That's fine. It ALMOST feels like we're under the radar again - though that's impossible for the Bills these days. But I feel that Josh, and the team, are being underestimated. Which is perfect.

Second, maybe it's time to step back from the game a bit. Why would a podcast people make your blood boil because they pick an opponent to win a game? 1
BillyBilliams Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 If Jacoby ***** BRISSETT can blow out Burrow and the Bengals 32-13, I feel the Bills can too. Just watch the game, enjoy it, and don't worry about what others say. 1
L Ron Burgundy Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 1 hour ago, Billsfan1972 said: Here is different and we can debate it. The National Press are not watching 16 games a week in their entirety and analyzing the minutiae or knowing everything that went on. Like me who didn't watch the last two Cincy games vs. Baltimore where they were far from dominating at home and Burrow held to under 220 yards passing can say definitively that Burrow is not too good as of late. Baltimore is a bad match-up for them. They have 2 excellent corners.
