Bills @ Bengals Game Thread - 2nd Half

[97bills]

Our defense really didn’t play bad, 10 points on offense has been our problem.. 

[Success]

To be fair to the D - they have done really well in the 2nd half.

 

The offense? I just don't get it.  Yeah, there is the fumble on a good drive.  But 10 points?  Cincy's D isn't elite - they're good, but not elite.

Burrow is a better qb than Josh. It might be coaching but he proves it every time we play them.

Their offensive system and weapons are better

 

Josh has more ability than any QB in the league...maybe all time

Just remember guys. A 9-8 team won a Super Bowl. We can still afford to lose four more games after this loss.

But this isn't the team to do that. Gotta have all world defense on all cylinders firing in the playoffs and a run game.

 

We currently don't have either one.

BEND DON'T BREAK, SEE GUYS, Our Defense ROCKS.

are you actually blaming the defence?

 

They have 4-5 starters out and are still keeping the bills in

 

Offence has 2 turnovers and 10 points..

Except at the start of just about every game where we let teams walk down the field and score.

10 points from the offense is a big problem. Some is on Dorsey. Some isn’t. He has his own issues, but he also bears the brunt of a few years of frustrations. 
 

Moving on may be best. But he isn’t THE problem here. 

We need to bring in a new voice that has the gravitas or at least personality/balls to challenge Josh and get more out of him.  We are wasting a HOF talent.

[DapperCam]

Bengals about to play some very soft coverage. Should help Allen’s stats a bit here.

Imagine this game going to OT. 😬

 

The Bengals have no TO's. That's gonna be a factor. That's their first points in about 35 minutes. 

I love your hope man. Please give me it

My problem with Dorsey isn’t his play-calling (well, not completely) - It’s his play designs.

 

Our spacing is so bad that we have receivers literally running into each other.

This team will be lucky to finish with 9 wins. Miami losing today keeps everything close in the division, but who are we kidding. This team is going nowhere in this condition 

The way they're playing, there are no gimmies.  Not even the Broncos.  Every game could be a dog fight.

Sharing is caring.

Both but Dorsey gets more of the blame. He had 10 days to plan and he served up this Turd.

[Anon Y. Mous]

At the end of the day it’s just a game and all that is important is that the guys had fun.

Honestly don't want to hear anything about our defense after this game.

 

We have 10 points. 10 freakin points. 

Where's your optimism? Only down 14 points. Have faith.

13 seconds and the window slammed shut. 
 

You know it’s bad when I’m not even upset. I’ve think I’ve lost a bit of interest this year. 

 

Yup. 13 seconds. That was the year.   The Bills are back to being just something to watch on Sunday’s for me.  I’m devoid of emotion since i know they aren’t winning anything with this particular club. And they could lose 70-3 tonight or 27-26.  it’s just one loss in the standings.   But they ain’t beating Philly, KC, Dallas, Miami, etc. They look terrible

I don’t see how Hyde, Poyer, Tre, Von and Morse are back next year.

They shouldn't be. We need to have a 1 year "bottoming out" if you will to straighten out our salary structure, accumulate cost controlled assets, and try to salvage what's left of Allen's prime. Oh, and a coaching change should probably occur too.

 

But of course none of this will happen 

[oldmanfan]

Josh needs an OC that’s not afraid to get in his face and demand more.

Between that and there receivers are bigger and faster than our db's, kind of puts us behind the eight ball

 

It's a shame we did not Draft a sub 4.4 6-2 CB in the 1st round...

[Johnnycage46]

I wonder if we will even beat Denver...or the Jets.  We could be looking at a miserable streak coming up with Philly, KC, Dallas after those 2 games.

 

I have zero confidence in this team.
