11/5/23 Week #9 SNF GAMEDAY Bills @ Bengals Pregame Thread

[ALG1130]

I feel bad for reading here and seeing a lot of hope and optimism. I want to feel it, but I can't. Ugh!!

 

Maybe it's just the last two games against them. I know the first was a whopping 9 minutes total, but they looked like they were going to move with effortless ease every time they had the ball. Same thing happened in the divisional. I guess I don't know what exactly would make it different this time around? Looks like Josh is most likely going to have to put on his cape for us to have a chance.

 

Just not feeling good about this one, but would love to be proven wrong.

Holy cow. Poona is inactive. Joseph is gonna play a lot.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Chris Brown says Douglas on STs but maybe not Defense…we are the only team in the league that can’t trust guys to be integrated

Interesting that Ford inactive.  Joseph must be ready.

 

And Rasul active.  Not sure he'll get much P/T, will see.

 

Norman up for the S/T snaps

I kind of wish that I had bought tickets to the game. I just took my wife and daughter down to the Bills tailgate and there are a lot of drunk Bills fans in Cincinnati right now.

Nawwwww….

Poona down.  Not surprised with Joseph signed but disappointed.  I had high hopes for him but seems to just be a liability.

Not sure about  a lot.  I'm guessing on 1st downs and obvious running plays Joseph plays.

That would be disappointing. Josh Dobbs stepped in at QB for the Vikings after just one week of being on the team. We better be able to implement a CB, at least platoon him with Jackson.

[Blank Stare]

Would’ve preferred Poona be active over Settle.

Please no. He’s a starting CB

I thought he played pretty well against the Bucs. Settle is invisible every game

I get the importance and the point and partially agree. But if that’s the case what have we found about Miami? They can’t beat a .500 football team? So we have to wait until what week 15 when they play cowboys to see again if they can beat anyone? They beat the teams they should beat so I will give them that credit

Expand  

But it cuts both ways. Who have the Bills beat? Seriously, not trying to be a jerk.

McDermott has been good in regular season revenge games. 

 

Teams coming off a huge emotional win (Bengals at SF) have been coming down to earth the following week.

 

Bills playing as underdogs and a chip usually seem to come out and perform, especially in prime time.

Jets twice, Cowboys, Ravens, Bills…. first time I’ve checked their remaining schedule, the way people talk around here they have a cakewalk scheduled, that is not a cakewalk

Not at all, Tua will have to prove he can beat a winning team or flame out. 

[ALG1130]

Okay, now I am seeing reports of Josh not throwing on the field, but Kyle Allen is. WTH??
