Bengals @ Bills - 1st Half Game Thread - January 22, 2023 - NFL Divisional Round Playoffs

[Kmart128]

The most underrated part of this game was Milano protecting the sideline so Burrow couldnt just run out of bounds. Gave up a few more yards but cost them precious seconds to prevent a FG attempt.

It's hard to fathom how unprepared this team is for a playoff game. 

Especially when you were supposed to have just prepared for the same exact team less than a month ago…

[KOKBILLS]

The clock is the only reason the Bengals did not score on that last drive as well...

[Phils n Bills]

Leslie and his defense is starting to show a trend. 13 seconds last year…divisional game so far this year…might be time for a change if they can’t clean it up in the second half

No excuse on that punt move. 

Well looking back they definitely would have scored if we missed the FG or didn't get a first down.  Neither was easy.  If we were 5 yards closer it would have been a harder call

[Danger Mouse]

We've adapted to them quite well after a horror start. 

 

But we just look short on the players we need to compete this deep into the season. 

 

On the upside, it's a lot closer than it could be. That punt felt like a grown-up call to me.

The Bills have a coordinator problem. One of the worst OC's in the league but what can you do, you can't fire him after 1 year. Also they have a DC that needs to be put out to pasture but he does well enough with "bend don't break where they only give up 20 points a game (against mostly bad teams). They can't win big games like this and we will completely waste the talent this team has in the meantime

Selling the afc title game tickets early did us no favors. They had bulletin board stuff all week.

We aren’t winning this game. This is probably the last half of football we see Frazier donning bills gear IMO

Tired of McDermott's act too.

jesus they got Davis back there

 

we are desperate

That was one of the few smart things they did on defense that half.

[Trock]

I can’t handle another year of Frazier. Please dear lord, please let him find another job or get fired. I’ll donate $100 to buffalos finest charity. 

[Billz4ever]

Anyone surprised we're only down 10?  I find it amazing.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Alright, guys. We haven’t played well, but are right in this anyway, especially if we can get a score on the first drive.

worst half of the year , cinn wants it more , playing harder and smarter than we are , Keeping Josh off the field perfect game plan by them 

First half vs baltimore was just as bad and we won 

[CEN-CAL17]

I’ve been waiting for like the past 5 games to say,”Dang that was amazing play design”…

 

Dorsey can’t create mismatches, no creativity, refuses to run the ball, and this team can’t even run a RB screen though they rush JA all day long!!!!!

 

Im over Dorsey!!!

[Jamone]

Both defense and offensive lines are putrid 🤮

Offense is disappointing to me. We knew the defense were paper tigers. Only having 7 points in a half is bad.

 

Our own O LIne is destroying us. Is that really a surprise?

[PetermansRedemption]

Great to see playoff Leslie showing up today 

[Low Positive]

I would trade offenses with them in a heartbeat. Yes, that means all the players.

[Bookie Man]

Has there been a single penalty called on Bengals?
