Bills @ Benglas Game Thread - 1st half

[zow2]

Allen must hate these vibes,,, he answers and the D just can't get a stop.  He's seen it a lot.

[Bubba Gump]

Run a f'n play there. You're gonna need all the offensive snaps you can get tonight.

Dane Jackson and Taron Johnson are playing great football

unfortunately in zone it just takes one guy.  Benford was off on the TE on 3rd and 2.  Hyde was beat on a crosser then Jackson (right after they got done talking him up) then they made 2 good plays and Mixon ran it in.  McDermott with be play chess all night.  We blitz to stop the run and keep Burrow from getting comfortable and he picks us apart and then we play coverage and he hands it off to Mixon.  He needs to get ahead of the sticks and stop them on first a few times.

Why are we using those big jumbo formations to run Cook? He runs much better when we spread it out.

That’s what McD likes lol

[Ralonzo]

How are Cinci's coaches so smart that they figured out the first snap under center was the Bills first run?

[LabattBlue]

I guess they are still thinking of last years snowstorms. 😡

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?

Kc is better on both sides of the ball with coaching.

I was shocked when he handed the ball off. 

 

I assume it must be play-action.

[Fleezoid]

wow 52 pages already. 52 pages of we suck. I don't need 52 pages for that!

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

At least put Williams in around the goal line. Let him just fly to the ball.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Pathetic defense so far

Ummm yeah - that’s not the world we live in.  
 

Bad call - let them play. Lot of emotion. 

Ummm no- Josh found out it’s the world we live in.  

[Buddy Hix]

Not a fan of that run call…

 

There is zero room for error with McD’s D getting torched. Gotta score every drive.

I was wondering the same thing and it's telegraphed. Until we need it on short yardage we need to avoid it. Then use a leaking big boy to dump it off too like the o'doyle td

I hope our DL will wear down the Bengals OL and get sniffs at Burrow or this could be a long night

I think the opposite is happening.

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

Joseph did his job, taking 2 O-linemen. Dodson hides behind Joseph instead of filing the hole. That was a 4 point mistake. 

It seemed like Dodson had a read, rather than a gap fill. I'm saying that was either a lousy call, or that was actually Hyde's hole or both

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

He is the smartest guy in the room…

[PayDaBill$]

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