Bills @ Benglas Game Thread - 1st half

[KOKBILLS]

Dotson with the football instincts of my grandmother on that TD run...

 

We had a chance to get off the filed on third and long and literally gave him an easy throw with a WR one on one vs a Safety. Just gave it to one of the best QB's in the NFL... What could anyone expect? Of course Burrow ids going to convert that. We do not get home on Defense against this team... 

 

I said before the Playoff game last year we were going to win or lose depending on how our Dline played... So far we're screwed.

Brutal effort on defense. I wasn't expecting much, just don't be completely inept. The first time we don't score a TD with the ball it will feel like the game is over

Defense actually looked better on that drive. Didn’t help the refs giving the bungles a gift.

Refs being instructed by Vegas

[Success]

Good QB's have an easy time w/ our zone.

 

I don't see it working for a title run

He's had a whole season to do that.

They have not been bad the whole season.

That roughing the QB was pure homer call.  

 

A bad RTP call on 1st down did not cause that TD drive. It was McDermott's play calling.

Wait you can fair catch it at the 1 and still get it at the 25? Seems wrong lol

That’s a new rule 

[Dick_Cheney]

As long as it’s tied at the end of the half, we have the upper hand, right???

4D chess We don't want to show our defense until the playoffs.

All those high draft picks on defense, and this is what they have.

those of you complaining about Von.   no he doesnt look fully back.  doesnt matter though,  with Burrow getting rid of the ball so fast none of the pass rushers are going to do anything.  rather have them all hang back and throw their hands up when the throws.

Settle practically sacked Joe in .08 seconds and it still didn't matter. Kemp clearly has an agenda to fulfill. 

[Freddie's Dead]

Refs helping the Bengals out tonight.  Two ignored DOGs on the first drive, bull#### call Josh for taunting to backup our kick and the bull#### RTP on Settle on the second drive.  Can't wait to see what they have in store for the third Bengals drive.

Why are we running it when running 5 wide on the first drive was so easy

because we have to keep the shitpile of a defense off the field as long as possible.

probably should just forfiet the games against good qbs/offenses. 

exactly what I was thinking. 🙄

 

Same reason I'm here everyday even when they sucked.  Anything else?

Seriously though, if we're going to have a defensive minded head coach shouldn't we expect elite defensive play calling? There are several DCs across the league that are better than McDermott. So what is the point of giving him the top job?

McDermott’s replay challenges are elite.  And he always knows when to de-fur.

So Dorsey runs on 1st putting us behind the chains when JA is tossing it allover the field.

We need balance, didn't you hear? 

[ILBillsfan]

Bengals running it in third down said they were going for it in fourth Dodson said nah just score here on third

Right - maybe one that wouldn't require a roster full of 1st round picks on D to put up D numbers.  Any idiot can coach an all-star team.

 

Beane has put nearly all the team's investments into the defense and genius McDermott still can't succeed.

[Maine-iac]

We did let Miami score a couple before we clamped down on defense hopefully we are tightening the screws on the next drive for Cinci.

   I see it the usual “ Sky is Falling” fest here.

   Maybe I’ll check back in later Nancys    🙄
