Bengals @ Bills - 2nd Half Game Thread - January 22, 2023 - NFL Divisional Round Playoffs

[HappyDays]

Just an awful play calling series in goal to go. 1st and 3rd down calls never had a chance.

[Gunsgoodtime]

So I'm drinking beer, Johnny Bootleggers, and Jim Beam.  Tells you about all you need to know about watching this game.

[billbo]

the d gotta have one big play 

[Nelius]

Cincy only put up 17 despite the opportunity for much more and Burrow has heaved a few floaters today. They’re not scoring at will.

[BillsFan130]

That play call on 1st down killed them.

 

Cook doesn’t have it today, time to get Motor more touches 

[BaaadThingsMan]

[Rock-A-Bye Beasley]

We had 4 qtrs left and just used one to get a fg. Better hope cinch doesn’t score again

D should be well rested.  Would be nice to see them get a stop here.

Expand  

They were well rested when the game started also.

Running on 1st and Goal killed that opportunity. 

Expand  

Running it on 1st and G from the 10 is just dumb. 

[iccrewman112]

Need to attack the middle of the field it is there, especially with everything they have thrown outside.

 

Knox just need to run a 7 yard curl.

That was the least sexy play calling in the RZ I could have imagined.  

Expand  

Very bland and vanilla, as it has been for much of the season.

You take the ball and do that to Josh?  Why not let. Josh dictate.

 

Romo keeps saying super man is going to come out... He has to be right. Superman has to come. But he can't do that throwing end zone fades in poor conditions with our old getting rocked. 

Expand  

It doesn’t take much homework for the other D to know if they are heavy on one side and Gabe Davis is lined up behind the line it is a run to that side. Totally predictable.

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

Good drive… hate the finish. Defense needs to do something now

[Caesar]

Josh is so hard to tackle,  we get pressure and can’t get a hold of this guy.

 

A little surprised Bills are not running the ball more?
 

[jcamm1966]

Someone on D needs to make a turnover play. every drive has been long not gonna get many more chances

Knox needed to bully the defender and use his body better. 

Expand  

Over his head. Looked like Josh expected him to turn it up.  Feel the ball was already thrown before Knox could have turned it up.

Yep. When you invest pick after pick in a bad defense this is the result. It’s all on josh and it’s so emotionally draining. Everything we knew to be the case is coming true and biting us in the ass today 

Expand  

You can say we are almost as negligent with supporting josh as the colts were with Luck. Bad o line. Weak supporting cast. Only caveat is we got Diggs for Josh.

Cook should be benched. He has no will to win. Plays like he’s going through the motions in practice 

Expand  

I don’t know… I really haven’t seen anywhere for the guy to go.

Is it me, or does our Georgia running back tip toe in snow?

Expand  

Yes why is he in running soft side to side.. get 26 in 

[Breakout Squad]

Run it on 1st and goal from the 9. Dumb play call I knew it was a FG after that crap call. How stupid can we be?!
