Great job trading for a corner at the deadline.  That will definitely turn this season around.

And only play him for about 5 snaps.

NFL gets what they want. On to next week.

 

Loos to Cinci was always a possibility when the schedule was released. On the road, national game. This loss isn't the problem, it's losing to bums that has consequences at the end of the season.

Exactly. Losing to both the Jets and Pats-- inexcusable.

We find new ways to beat ourselves. Whether it's Josh, Gabe, Knox, Kincaide. We just beat ourselves down over and over. The defense is overrated and overmatched right now and the offense and special teams aren't helping them.

I know most don't agree but I think this is the game that keeps us from the playoffs.  Not likely to win the division now unless Miami collapses.  Can't really lose another game with a tough schedule coming up. Lost the head to head against a WC competitor.  Too many conference losses against other WC competitors.

 

This coaching staff needs to go.  Dorsey sucks.  McD is an ok coach but I don't think good enough to get us over the hump.  Our team has stagnated on both D and O.

I think division is more likely honestly.  This is seeming like a 10-7 or 9-8 type division winner to me

Guys the Bills brought in off the street in the middle of the week had more of an impact on the game than high paid guys like Miller and Oliver. 

Ed disappeared today as did Leonard Floyd.

I dont think thats a strength of his either.

Oh, he can absolutely turn a team around, say the right buzz phrases, get people to buy in, etc. Near term. After the salesmanship, it’s over.

Higgins just grabs Josh Norman on the outside of both shoulder pads, and yet again, the refs are blinded by the light.  Jesus Christ, they gave the Bengals the benefit of every single call tonight.

 

Like I said earlier. Today was the worst day, all around, I've ever seen from NFL officials. It was pure garbage everywhere you looked. And it's getting worse week by week.

So the timeout everyone is bitching about didn’t matter. Yeah, this place is smartur than our staff. 
 

Is someone going to fall for it. 

 

I'm going to fall for it, because it was an objectively terrible decision.

[starrymessenger]

I now know what kind of team the Bills are. The kind that's just good enough to ruin another teams playoff chances on any given Sunday.

Well, Epenesa is a traffic cone so Von it is I guess...

 

I'd rather have any defensive lineman out there in that situation than him.  

[billybob71]

miller shouldnt have been out there at the end

The Bengals were better. They played a little sloppy. They should have won by two TDs.

 

Stop with the winnable game crap. 

Can you stop posting instead? Ktnxbi

[Solomon Grundy]

Defensively, Hyde was bad. Offensively, Gabe Davis called in

[BillsDiehard]

McDermott is 100% to blame...no way he's coaching this team next year! He took the blame for defense and defended an OC that couldn't coach at the high school level!

[Aussie Joe]

No but he's one of the best players in the game.  Are McD and Dorsey among the best coaches?

Never said they were .. blame the coaches if it gets you through another loss ..

The Bengals aren't as good as the hype the Bengals get. 

Neither are the Bills

The contrast between the 2 teams is amazing. Everything about Buffalo is panicked. Players, play calls, coaches on the sideline and Cincinnati is calm. Coaches, players and especially Burrow. 

 

This is why other fans & analysts don't believe in the Bills but constantly dismissed KC & Cincy's struggles.

 

Everyone knows Burrow & Mahomes are calm, collected & will self-correct. When healthy, they're proven teams.

 

The Bills aren't like that. Allen isn't great playing from behind, turns the ball over too much, the team invests resources into players that haven't moved the needle, and everyone around them seems to be getting better.

 

And in the playoffs? Nobody believes in Buffalo. At 5-4, with 4 conference losses, many don't think we'll even make the playoffs. Lastly, injuries and an aging roster aren't helping... This season is gonna be tough. 

[Buffalo Ballin]

McDermott will have eventually have to be fired. He's a mental midget when the pressure is on. He better get our butts to the playoffs this year at least.

Norman was held on that final run play super obvious right at the point of attack no call

He tried drawing the call rather than go for the tackle.😑

Overmatched maybe (due to injuries), but I don't think it's overrated....there no delusion it is good at all
