Balanced attack no turnovers.

What else?

Re: To Beat the Bengals

Pressure from front 4 on D.

Give Allen time to throw.

Maybe nice weather for once?

A better MLB and a D-coordinator that will blitz once in a while.

Re: To Beat the Bengals

The Bengals are going to go with their kc game plan on defense. Try to get pressure with 4 and make Josh take the underneath stuff. Running the ball efficiently and Josh being patient. Hopefully he doesn't throw any jump balls to Mckenzie in this one.

On d, our line and linebackers have to show out in this one. This is a game where having Hyde would be massive. Hopefully the weather is a non factor. Go Bills.

Re: To Beat the Bengals

It’s a prime time game so we should get good Josh.

The Bengals scored 0 points when Lael Collins went down, so our defensive ends will need to have an impact on the game.

We will be thoroughly outcoached per par, and the offensive line will have at least 3 holding penalties. I also expect Damar Hamlin to be a disaster.

We need Josh to be great this game…this ain’t the Bears

Or guys that when they blitz, they don’t run into the line and block themselves

Re: To Beat the Bengals

Focus has to be on creating pressure to win this game. We should be able to score plenty but I worry about our D v a locked in Burrow.

Time for extremely good Josh!

Go Bills!

Run the ball, win time of possession and no turnovers.

Exactly! It amazing how often it happens! I’m waiting for one of our d-linemen to turn around and punch them in the throat!

Re: To Beat the Bengals

On paper, the matchup is not that bad for the Bills. Bills D always have trouble against Mahomes because he can buy time. Burrow is not that kind of QB. Now Burrows often sticks ball into the right place even when his receivers are in tight coverage. The Bills have always drafted CBs with long arms to make play on getting hands in there at the moment of receivers catching the ball. So it will be a battle White, Elam, Johnson against Chase, Higgens, and Boyd. The Bengals will win most battles, but I'm hoping the Bills can win some too, unlike the Vikings game where everything went Vikings way on those close battles.

The key though, to me, is tackling. Burrows will take the easy check downs underneath - I actually think he's better than both Mahomes and Allen in that regard. So the Bills better limit the RACs.

You always wonder how a defense like the Bengals can beat the Chiefs 3 times, including the AFC championship game. In my eyes, they really test patience of the likes - Mahomes and Allen. Their 3 man rush, 8 men in coverage has worked wonders against Mahomes and I can bet everything I have you are going to see it against the Bills. Allen has to make checkdown decisions quicker. The play of Knox, Singletary, Cook, and Hines are critical in my view, not just running, but also coming from the back field for catches (which is tied to Allen as well). The one thing Allen is different from Mahomes is that Allen is a serious runing threat. Cincy is not going to come off coverage when Allen scrambles, just like they did to Mahomes. But Allen can make a guy miss and get sizeable yards on the ground. Don't fall to the trap of looking for big plays against that no-name defense. Of course when they blitz, make them pay. I was there when the Steelers loss to the Bengals in Heinz field, believe it was only the 2nd game all season the Bengals gave up 30+ points. Harris had a good day running, and Pickett made Bengals pay when they went one-on-one with Pickens.

Re: To Beat the Bengals

We need 13 to wake the hell up. We need McK to never run a fly route ever again.
there needs to be more than the doubled Diggs so we can. Have MORE Diggs. Use Beez.

Keep the attack to center of the field IT ALWAYS WORKS.

Then when passing is actually working… let that open up the run. Don’t rest on the silly notion that just because you put up well over 2 fiddy on the Bears you are suddenly a running juggernaut. Victory begins and ends with Josh.

on D… pressure pressure pressure. Tackling fundamentals please. Splash lay Edmunds… how about now?

XXX) Damn I sure hope they play 3 man rush against Josh and our RB's.

We have to spread the wealth and balance the attack as much as possible!

Cook is a screen pass nightmare for any defense if ran correctly.

Get the ball in his hands in open space anyway possible.
