HOW CAN YOU LACK ENERGY IN A PLAYOFF GAME!!! That's on coaching.

[frostbitmic]

I'm guessing this game takes Dorsey and Frazier off of teams HC want lists.

I like the way KC plays defense.  Sure they get beat on big plays and at times teams go up and down the field on them but their theory seems to be that we're going to play aggressive and take chances which will create a TO and a couple of 3 and outs that our offense will feast on. And if we do get into a shoot out we have the best shoot out offense in the NFL.

 

 

 

 

We don't ever try that. The one time we put all the guys at the line to try and rush they played 7 or so yards off of chase on a 3rd and 2. All Burrow did was flick a quick pass to him and he easily ran for the first down. So instead of bringing that pressure and forcing burrow to make the tougher fade pass we just let him make a quick one for the easy first down. Bringing pressure while playing that far back defeats the purpose of said pressure but that's the Frasier way.

Milano was the only defensive player that looked like he cared today. Give Milano all of Edmunds money.

Oddly enough, I am less upset about this loss than I have been over any other regular season loss over the last two years. They just played that badly and it made me realize that they would’ve had no chance going any further anyway.

I feel the same way.   The season has felt incredibly long and I think the team was spent.    That said, I dont feel emotional about it because the Bills never really put up a fight.  There was no emotion in the game to feed off of.  The game was over after the first two Bengals' drives.

I’ll tell you what this defense gets inflated numbers on backup QBs and bad offenses. All the money they stuck on the defensive side of the ball and every big game when they need a stop they don’t get it 

But even backup rookie QBs play us tough lately.

You absolutely have to play press man if rushing that many. Tre was 7-8 yards off the wr.  Frazier has no clue.

And again only 1 star player Chris Jones, then a bunch of dogs with a river boat gambler DC

[Bengal fan]

Bengals fan here. You have a great team. Classy fans. This was just our day.  No doubt Bills have a Super Bowl coming in near future. 
most Bengals fans would have been pulling for the Bills if you had won today.

I was thinking about the Tampa game last year where the bills were getting absolutely annihilated the first half. They came back to tie and go to overtime(down 27 points I think) . I never felt the bills were gonna come back after they went down 14-0 today. They were just so lack luster and no fire 

[Big Turk]

Wondering if Hamlin being there had the opposite effect as what it should have 

[gr8billsfan]

A lot invested in the DL, but it’s embarrassing.  OL, especially Dawkins, didn’t hold up to what we expect. 

Diggs cussing out Allen & leaving locker room right after game is concerning. Emotions run, but that’s not captain-like. 
 

Draft OL, DT/DE, S,

O'h you will get no argument from me, i agree completely.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I’m not even sure why I’m thinking of this but when was the last time we hit a screen for a decent gain? One to the rb? Not sideways one to a WR. Or also where was that jet sweep? We used to kill them with McKenzie on them all the time. This entire season was such a waste of time 

[Maine-iac]

The Bengals DB's had half a dozen QB hits.  Our DB's had none because we never send them.  Other teams know who's coming and how to block them.

They should both be off this team.

[BuffaloBaumer]

After thinking about it, it’s actually surprising that our record was as good as it was. It’s really quite an ordinary roster outside of Allen, Milano and Diggs

[major]

Did our Super Bowl window close today? I felt we should have gone in 2020 and 2021. What’s crazy is that I think we would have won both of those games too.
