The Bills could be primed for an upset

True, but by the end of the game last year, they had Peko playing safety. If we can get the D to play like they did most of this week, and get the 2nd half Denver O, we can compete. The question is can we do that.

If we can get the '05 offense too :lol:

This. Not being a pessimist. Just being a realist. They are going to come out and spread the cheeks on this defense w/ 4 wides all day long!!! I think this defense is way better than the Patriots, in fact, i know it is, but dont think its going to matter w/ the way the Bills are rolling right now. The only way this game will be won by Cincinnati is if they have an out of body experience on offense. And when i say that, they better be prepared to drop about 50 points. Period.

It's a game of strength against strength, weakness against weakness.


Bengals Defense is ranked 3rd overall. Bills Offense is ranked 3rd overall.
The Bengals Offense is ranked 25th. The Bills Defense is ranked 26th.


Did you know the Bengals have played 2 defenses that are ranked in the top 10 at the moment?
Did you know the Bills have played 3 Defenses ranked 23rd or worse? The Chiefs have the 23rd
ranked Defense, Raiders 28th, Pats dead last. Also, the Broncos Defense is ranked 16th.

Marvin Lewis uncharacteristically slipped a bit of confidence into his press conference Monday, when discussing urgency with his 1-2 team: “We've got a lot of season ahead of us. And you know, at the end of this week when we're 2-2, there's going to be probably the other third of the league (that's) going to be in the same situation.”

I heard that too, listening to sports animal. I like that kind of talk. Things would look a helluva a lot different at 2-2 then 1-3. Plus stealers will be 2-2 after next week

Buffalo was very fortunate against the Patriots. They were getting shut down and all the momentum/turn overs changed the game. Most of the picks werent even Bradys fault too. Without those turnovers it would have been a route.

I have been very impressed with our D so far and it gas given me new life on a season I thought was just be the "Andrew Luck Get Ready Fest". Buffalo is ok but I am not feeling like they are even going to be more than 8-8/9-7 at the end of the year. We take this game, 21-17.

It is early in the season----the Bengals offense (or lack of) may have helped our opponents defensive rankings. Cleveland's defense is probably ranked high, but they have played 3 teams with a combined one win....us....

The defense just may be good enough to carry this offense.

Great thing is they won their first game and that bought them just a bit of time.

Just dreaming here but this could be Marvin's 2000 Baltimore team over. Not saying they'll win it all but just saying they'll be able to compete by playing excellent D with a run 1st offense.

Would like to see Gruden not give up so quick on the running game. Run the ball again on 1st and if ya pick up some yards go again on second. If on two carries Benson can get it down to 3rd and 3 or less ,bring in Scott for the jet speed and leave Pressley as lead man.

If extra roster spot bring in another Full Back and start pounding it.

Well were going to find out if our D or their O is the paper tiger then.

Yap. The teams the bills have played so far are ranked on defense 32 (pats), 28 (raiders) and 23 (chefs). The Bengals haven't played any high powered offenses yet, but they are ranked 3rd on D. Something's gonna give.

We could easily be 3 and 0 right now, and Buffalo could easily be 1 and 2. We have two close losses that could have been wins but for one play. They have two close wins that could have been losses but for one play.

As bad as we've looked at times, we aren't getting blown out. In both of our losses, we had a chance to win in the last two minutes. I know the difference between winning and losing is being able to make that one play, and we've come up short. I think as these guys progress, they'll start making that play.

I hope so man, but last season was the same thing. For some reason the Bengals haven't been able to win close games in recent memory. Bengals could have been 10-6 or so last season if they won the one score battles. Hope the same thing doesn't happen this year. 0-2 so far in one score games = sad me.
