how many teams with a 3rd string qb from the practice squad get favorable treatment in the media? none. this is a fair assessment. it doesn't take into account that the bengals usually find a way to lose in buffalo.

but if you look at all the games, our game is one of 5 where the probability of one team winning is much higher than the other.

no arguements with the article.

History being a guide, we own the Bengals. Add in the fact that our Defense is coming off a big break & add 2 pro-bowl talents / 12th man screaming. That equals a tough day for Cincy on offense.

If the bills can run against the bengals and Gilmore , Byrd and Mckelvin are 100%, we can beat the struggling Dalton especially since it's at buffalo.

lol you guys are all delusional. THAD LEWIS IS STARTING AT QB. The Bills are not winning. Not to mention the stadium won't even be full.

While I think we will probably lose I wouldn't be completely surprised if it was close and/or we did win.

As far as the stadium it will be full, just not sold out in time to lift the blackout.

It's been a long time since I've seen an OC call such an odd set of plays that BAL's Cauldwell did. At one point - 27 straight passes. Ran only 9 times. Ye gods... :tap:

If Lewis runs we can beat them. We haven't had any good passing game this year. Very disappointed in EJ's accuracy. Right now Geno looks better arm wise.

Defense should be able to keep the game close. Cincy may be flat after a big win. Should be low scoring. I wouldn't be shocked if Lewis plays better than expected and the Bills pull the upset.

Speaking of spreads, the Jaguars/Broncos game has the highest spread in NFL history. Around 28 points. True fact.

Anyway, to say that the Bills are guaranteed to lose is lazy thinking. If the Bills can run the ball and play effective defense, then all Thad Lewis has to do is manage the game.

I'd say that the Bills will cover the spread as well. I won't bet that because I've never seen hide nor hair of this Thad Lewis fella before, though.

It'll be an interesting week of Bills football nonetheless. Hopefully, they won't be scouring the pathetic QB market for the next band-aid come Monday.

Think the Bills can very well win this game.

the defense has been carrying this team and it's getting back two solid starters in the secondary.

i think we can go lights out on D to be honest.

thad... well know little to nothing about this guy but EJ hasn't exactly been winning games for us so let's see what happens.

I was expecting Rice and Pierce to cow punch him mid 3rd qtr.

15 years from now every time some scrub QB comes into a game for any team their fans are going to say you never know we may have the next Thad Lewis. 42-13 Bills!
