Get your tissues ready!!

[Bubba Gump]

Just the little preview from Tirico and Collinsworth about the Hamlin game last year, brought tears to my eyes. It's gonna be tough to watch that again. I'm sure they will make it a huge storyline, as it should be. But I'm gonna lose it all over again. Gonna be a hard watch, until Josh craps all over Burrow. 

 

Go Bills!!!

Man I hope you are right about Josh.  Bungles look very tough.  Had they not had some fumbles, they would have put 40+ on the niners.  Offense is going to need to get seven on most possessions and somehow we need to get pressure on Joe.

Maybe the Damar factor will get these guys pumped. And Dorsey needs to let Josh be Josh again. He let him loose for the first half Thursday, but then started to reel him in during the second half. He can't do that. Take the leash off for all 4 qtrs.

Burrow was 28-32.  

 

I suppose there's always hope that they spent some of themselves on today's win.  

 

Either way, McD will have had 10 days to have the team prepared.  They'd better hit the field looking the part.  

 

How'd the Bengal OL look?   Did you watch the game?   Niners have a formidable Front 7.

Not to say the Bengals don’t look legit, but Cousins went 35/45 for 378 and 2 TD’s against that same defense 2 weeks ago.  
 

SF has lost 3 in a row and looks lost on both sides of the ball right now. 
 

*Ironically enough, they sustained some injuries and went off the rails after dismantling a rival.  Sound familiar?

This right here will tell me a lot about McD. 10 days......10 f'n days. If he can't figure it out, then he will never get this team over the hump.

Unfortunately, Tre White, Matt Milano and DaQuan Jones aren't walking through that door....there is only so much that can be done with the D as presently constituted....

 

The O scoring 30+ points is paramount if the Bills are to have a legitimate shot at winning this game.

 

I think it can be done, but its going to be a tough one.

Their issues appear to be re: their offense though, they don't have a ton of injuries there.  

 

Aiyuk and Kittle are still great receiving options.

The turnovers went both ways in that game today.  Cincy got their share of breaks.

The Bengals looked about as good as any team I've seen this year. Bills have their work cut out for them. 49ers got a little pressure early, but when they did, Burrow made them pay.

Burrow seems to be healed.  

 

All eyes on McD to see what he has up his sleeve, if anything.  

 

The ball's in his court.

McD and his coaching staff got thoroughly embarrassed in that playoff game. Out coached in every way. Unprepared is an accurate statement. 

 

Put aside all the turmoil of the season. What was most bothersome was the Bills game plan. To this day, I have no idea what they were doing? They had a dress rehearsal a few weeks prior which should have prepared them to have an effective game plan. Or a the very least different game plan. Nothing zero zilch...

 

Fast forward to this week and we Bills fans believe this coaching staff will step up? Why would you think that? Please elaborate because I want to hear a logical and realistic response. 

 

Add on the team hasn't played well in several games. The defense is a shell of itself. You really think the Bills can stop or contain Burrow and company? I'd recommend you rewatch last year's game for a reference. 

 

I just pounded the Bengals at -2.5 for one of my bigger bets I've made.

They looked the part. They played well in every phase. They look to be hitting their best stride. They shredded the niner defense. Burrow looked elite, in control, poised, and virtually unstoppable. It was a lot like when they throttled the Bills.

To be truthful it's not that simple. He should absolutely have a game which tries to give the Bills the best chance to win. That's all you can ask for. I'm just not seeing how this depleted D can stop the Burrow leD. No if they had a healthy Tre, DJones, Milano, and Von then I'd like their chance. That's just not the case here.

You can't make poop smell like ice cream. The McD defense is seriously depleted. This is the week we really see the effects of losing your three stars on defense.

I'm not expecting it.  At the same time, the game hasn't been played yet.

 

You know my take, it hasn't changed.  In fact, it's playing out right on schedule.

 

McD has enough rope to hang himself with and he seems to be doing just that.  

 

Whether he switches this season or not is on him.  This is the season that the fence-sitters for McD are going to fall to one of the other side.  It seems clear where that's headed, but who knows, maybe he'll have an epiphany or something.

We should have been an offense-centric team the past four seasons.  

 

Our D, while impressive during the regular season, has absolutely sucked in the playoffs.  I have no idea why everyone is harping on it as if without it our playoff success chances are limited.

 

Our offense has had to overcome our defense in all but one playoff game under McD in the past three seasons.

 

Or offense has no significant injuries. 

 

Play ball!

Weeks 2 & 3 we saw what a healthy front 7 meant to this defense.  Now alot of that is gone. Von's still not even close to being ready. And without DQ, the pressure up the middle just isn't there.  And obviously Matt's not flying around making Bernard look like a pro bowler.  We absolutely must expect a high scoring game.  And somehow we have to move "home alone" off his spot.  Josh will have very little room for errors.  Maybe some deadline help will come?  We'll need it.

[90sBills]

Hopefully the players won’t need any tissues. Just show up and make a game of it. By all means do not lose by double digits again.

Haha sounds like you’ve got a personal investment on the line and are trying to convince yourself you made the right call.

 

They may win,they may lose, but I think it’s far from the slam dunk that you think it is. Bengals will certainly score points though I don’t think anyone is arguing that.  

 

it’s not so much overrating what the bengals are capable of as it is underrating what the bills are imo and you are putting far too much stock in a game from last season.  Cincy was one of the best defenses in the league last year and this year they haven’t been nearly as good.  By pretty much any advanced metric,  the TB defense is better than cincy’s and we moved the ball quite well against them.  
 

SF is a mess with purdy and no Deebo, they are a sub .500 team without a doubt.  This isn’t like the bengals went out and stymied the 2007 pats like you’re making it sound 😂. Despite that SF just had a few boneheaded turnovers…they racked up 460 yards.
