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

[947]

Rasul Douglas better be active, he has the size to handle Chase. If we get a steady stream of Dane 10 yards off Chase, it'll look like the playoff game.

Game Day!

Bills can leap back into first place with a win tonight.

Greg Cosell breaks down game expectations. Stop Burrow on 1st down.

 

 

If Cosell is correct and the Bengals rush 3 and drop everyone else in coverage because of a hurry up offense, the run game is going to be big. Running out of hurry up is effective too. I hope they do this. Also, Josh can keep it and run. Please Cincy, drop all those people into coverage.

That would be great.  Just keep pace in the division and win games and let everything sort itself out.

Big boy pants need to be on today given the events that unfolded in both games against Cinci’ last year…

Need to grab the first place AFCE Brass Ring tonight. 

[Phils n Bills]

I have a good feeling about tonight. I think we can get it done behind a strong offense and a bend but don’t break defense. Allen and co will step up

I think Cincy is going to be surprised by Buffalo's #1 ranked pressure rate. Put Linval in there to take those double teams and let the rest of the DLine eat. That BS where Burrow escaped the pass rush last week was ridiculous. His luck just ran out.

Will our 3 free agent signings be playing tonight? 

I've been hearing that Douglas won't play which makes sense due to the complexity of the Bills defensive schemes.  But I don't see why Fournette and Joseph couldn't play, and they both seem tailor-made for a game like this.

[Bills!Win!]

Poyer and Hyde, although not as great as they used to be, will be the difference tonight

Hope they've got their Rascal scooters fully charged.

Unless it’s the draw from shotgun. That play never works

With a 3 man rush even that play may work. Or an RPO with Josh running. Or a QB draw. Or hand off to a RB. Lots of options here.

Yeah, agree. There’s no way I can expect a CB whose first day with the team was Wednesday to be active tonight. An RB or DT ? Sure.

Need statement game from the offense today.

[VaMilBill]

Gotta say regardless of how the defense performs, this game will come down to how Josh performs. If we get Josh from the Miami game I believe we can win. If we get josh from any other game this year, we lose. Of course that is outside some miraculous performance by the defense and special teams. 
 

I really think this will be the game that decides if Josh or Joe is a better QB
