NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION 2023 NFL Divisional Round Sunday Games - BUF vs CIN

[Triumph]

If Burrows wins the superbowl, the Bengal might have their very own Tom Brady.

They already do.

Burrow hit 8 different receivers. T Higgins and Ty Boyd only had 51 yards and 0 TDs combined. This notion that you must be stacked with stud WRs is false. Burrow just threw the ball to the open guy. Chase is special.

Its always the same story. The Bills turned into the Mac led Pats.

Cinci..........................................Buffalo
30 - 1st downs.......................18 - 1st downs
60% convert 3rd downs.....33% convert 3rd downs
2 pass TDs................................0 pass TDs
0 INTS.........................................1 INT
TOP - 34 minuets...................26 minutes

We saw pats be competitive in the last game in buffalo & it wasn't a fluke. Despite two kickoff return TDs & two long TDs surrendered in zone coverage the pats were in the game. The bills roster is shaky with holes at OT, OG, WR, EDGE, LB & CB. They are over the cap & may lose Edmunds & Poyer.



The bills are the 2019 pats. In three draft classes they basically have an overrated WR2 & an EDGE2 as contributors. The pats should be able to compete for the division with BOB as OC & getting a #1 CB IMO.

My rooting interest now:
1. Cincy
2. Eagles
3. 49ers
4. Chiefs

They are complaining about lack of weapons and a bad oline. Someone should show them a tape of the Colts game to compare olines

According the Over The Cap, the Bills have -$8.5M in cap space. That does not seem to be a very rosy picture. Dolphins are even worse off. Hopefully the Bills have to let Edmunds and Poyer go in FA.

Why is diggs yelling from like 15 feet away lol be funny if allen didn’t even hear him

4. Chiefs

I agree, but put Act of God at 4 and then Supernova at 5 then the Chiefs

So I didn't see the Bills coach prominently displayed over and over again on TV yesterday.
I remember during the 3 Pats games last season they couldn't get enough of him.
Wonder why they stopped?
He fecking blew the KC game last season. That was their best shot.

I just can’t root for any Philly team period haha….

Really hoping for a Cincy / 49ers Super Bowl

Wonder how many more years of Allen's talent the Bills will waste until they find him a Thurman Thomas. Once again the Bills had no running game other than Allen.
The Bills had a grand total of 63 yds rushing yesterday and 26 of those were by Allen (on 8 carries). Singeltary and Cook combined for the other 37 yds of rushing on 11 carries.
Bills have been a one dimensional offense team for the entire Allen era. The only rushing threat is Allen's feet and if you shut that down you beat them.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Bills were missing Brian Daboll badly yesterday

I can’t stand PHI but I hope they embarrass Mahomes and sack him 5+ times if that’s the matchup. hopefully he gets a taste of what Brady had to deal with in 42 (ankle injury killing almost all pocket movement + OL ****ting the bed)

Feels like there's a bit of a backlash about Hamlin.

Then again the Bills radio guys did this back in the day about Bruschi so... not much sympathy here about that.

 

[Bill Lee]

I read people say the Bills window might have closed yesterday. Didn’t agree because they still have Allen but it looks like they have a lot of defensive FA’s to resign and not much cap room.

Just because you have a franchise QB doesn't mean the window stays open, if that window is the Super Bowl one. Heck the Bills haven't even made it to a SB since the Clinton Administration. This was supposed to be the season that pushed them over the top, thus the move to sign Von Miller. Signing a 33 year old injury prone guy is a win-now move. Now, cutting him would mean taking a $40M cap hit, still will be $20M hit the next season too.

Bills are an immensely talented team that keeps falling short because they have a coaching issue. Does Belichick not get to the AFCCG or Super Bowl with the kind of talent that Buffalo has? No way.

 

[jdlboot14]

We could see the Bills falling off the last month of the season - sure it may have been the emotional collapse after Hamlin, but offensively they were struggling. In our week 18 game with them, we were able to run with them (the 2 KR TD's and 2 flukey bomb plays killed us).
Then wildcard MIA was within a couple plays of beating them with 3rd QB Thompson!
I also was on record on this board after the Hamlin game saying the Bengals were about to roll over them if it would have continued.
Bengals are looking in peak form, and likely will be able to take out the Chiefs again.

The 0 ring Bills. Some things never change

The 0 ring Bills. I like the tune of that!

They rely too much on Allen as well.
There's no excuse on why he's your leading rusher.

 

[Lansdowne]

Their head coach is a paranoid hot head who will throw his own players under the bus before he ever takes accountability for his coaching. Stark contrast from BB who acknowledges the team as a whole has to do better but will be the first to say he has to coach better.

That's coaching though, right?

 

[Guts]

Yeah in a way, but maybe they need a legit RB. Either way they have a lot of problems now heading into next season. Lots of FAs
