I don’t think you will find very many Bills or Bengals fans satisfied with the outcome either. Chiefs were just collateral damage.

Sorry, not meant directly at you. Just the situation. Ya gotta win the game either way today, right?

Going to have to play our best ball for 60 minutes to come away with the dub.

Not the guys at ESPN. Calling Daniel Jones a 'stud QB' and a guy you need to pay to be your franchise QB on Monday morning.

I was like....are you guys nuts?

This weekend stinks so far. Two rather bland games.

So, your information is outdated. Tuck rule went away and is still the worst call in NFL history.

But i mean when plays like that happen they still call it the tuck rule - it happened last night with the announcers on that mahomes pass where he ran then kinda threw/slipped it into the ground- it wasnt a fumble it was an incomplete pass.

I didn't like seeing Mahomes suffer. I appreciate why he stayed in the game and what it meant to everyone and maybe it's not too bad but it looked hard to stand up.

Jones is the 3rd best quarterback in the division. I hope he gets a bag of money from the giants.

I can't see the Bengals winning when they lose a bunch of starting olinemen.

Hopefully Purdy hits the rookie wall tonight.

[Batman1980]

I hope Quinn empties the bag tonight. 2+ takeaways and we probably win comfortably.

Schefter just reported MRI revealed high ankle sprain for Mahomes but he is expected to play of course

Also said Jimmy G is a long shot to return, if needed, possibly for NFCC but more likely for SB, assuming they advance that far. Not sure why need to speculate on this though, Brock is the guy right now.

I still can’t believe how many people, experts, and media overlook Joe B

[JDub1]

Watching the Bills last few games and so far today, I have not been super impressed with their defense.

[tcripe]

Burrow is truly amazing. Reminds me so much of a younger Brady with the way he plays.

Ruh-roh Bills D -

Cinci starting off on fire.

How so? I heard ESPN talk about him all week. Even some experts saying they would take Joe over Allen.

I guess I keep seeing and hearing the opposite.

Speaking of QBs, last year around this time when talks of the Raiders trading Derek Carr were discussed, I was really hoping our Steelers would trade for him as I think he'd be a great fit for our team.

After the way Kenny Pickett ended his season I'm not so sure now (though I haven't heard the Steelers as a possible landing spot for him). What do you think?

Yeah I felt the same about wanting Carr. I'm still on a wait and see on Pickett, I'm hoping he can take that next step next year. Solid first year tho. We need to nail our draft picks this year, that also will help him.

[emac213]

Bills needed that. They were on the ropes.
