We agree about Josh Allen.  Which Josh will show up Sunday afternoon is easily the most important factor.  If he’s on, I don’t think anyone stops him.  He’s not always “on”

Our points on B are similar.  If our corners can’t cover your WRs we’re in trouble…..just like every team vs you guys.  No one can cover your WRs.  The key, imo, isn’t covering them…..  it’s getting to Burrow before they inevitably smoke whoever is covering them.

Hated the Bills when idiot Marv Levy told his players to fake an injury to slow Sam Wyche’s “Sugar Huddle” and no huddle done.  Levy bitched and moaned about how he thought it was so unfair before that playoff match up.  

After getting his ass handed to him in that playoff he proceeded to do the same thing the following year.  F the Bills.  They are not our friend!

The Trey nonsense is nonstop, and they swear Skylar Thompson is a great QB.... 

They definitely like their team as much as any fanbase.  Even KC fans complain a ton about theirs, but 99% of these guys are shocked the Bills are not undefeated the past 2 seasons.

And they definitely don't have the admiration for us that some on here do for them, despite our good will last week and the NFL screwing us over, as well helping them get into the playoffs a few years ago.

To the rest of the board, does Caesar create threads about other teams boards often?  Because what he’s doing on our board is childish.  

The rest of this board has been great- but this guy……. Oh man.b talk about selective reading.

Honestly, I'm not sure what percentage we play of man vs zone, but I get the sense from watching the games that we're a majority zone team that goes to man situationally (and even then, it's just guessing, as quarters coverage can look a lot like 2 man coverage if the outside receivers are running deep routes). We run a fair amount of simulated pressures where we drop the defensive ends into coverage as well. In games that we play more man coverage, it's because we're blitzing. We played a decent amount of man coverage against Baltimore because we were sending 5+ pass rushers half the time and we didn't really respect the Ravens' receivers to get open vs man coverage. Other games, we don't blitz at all (like against Mahomes). 

I have a feeling Allen will be getting closer to the Mahomes treatment than the Huntley treatment.

I'd expect Diggs to be bracketed all game, or at least a majority of the game, and I don't think our guys are going to be biting on sluggos against Allen haha.

We also do some QB spying with Hubbard on occasion. If you remember, the sack and strip by Hubbard in the AFC Championship game was a snap where he was a spy. The reason Mahomes had so much time back there was because we only rushed 3 with Hubbard as the spy. Hubbard saw an opportunity to rush in for the sack after the Oline kind of dispersed out, and he took it. I'd expect a decent number of 3 man rush + Hubbard/Wilson spy plays on Allen as well.

Our defense generally is really good against the run. Our stats are a bit skewed because of Reader's injury for half the season (even still, we're 7th in the league in rush yards allowed per game), but when he's in the game we're one of the best run defenses in the NFL (which is one of the reasons last week's game was so frustrating haha). No doubt if you guys can establish your run game, that will be a HUGE plus in your favor for the game. Our defense has been so good at making teams one dimensional and then creating turnovers off of that 1 dimension, if you all manage to keep both the run game and pass game going, I think you likely win.

• Run it right up the middle. Reader is weak, like a feather, and you can run right through him. I mean, he never gets votes as an all-pro or pro-bowl, how good could he be?
• The Bengals safeties don't know what they're doing. You don't have to pay attention to where they are on the field. And they're poor at tackling. Runners, including Allen, if that's you, don't have to worry about holding the ball too tight. They won't knock it out.
• Hendrickson can be ignored. He's not a threat. So slow that Allen will have plenty of time. He can look the other way.
• Hilton and Logan Wilson? They can't cover. Don't worry about trying to zip the ball right by them.
• Tell the players to book their tickets to Atlanta and start watching video of the Chiefs. They don't need to spend time preparing for the Bengals. The Chiefs have 4 first team all pros and 2 second team all pros. The Bills have a first (Matt Milano) and second team (Stefon Diggs) all pro players. The Bengals have *zero* all pros. Not worth the Bills time. Focus on Atlanta. In fact, tell friends and family they should save money from the Division game so they have more money for the airline tickets and hotel reservations for the AFC championship game in Atlanta.

We are not Pacman and Burfict anymore. They should let that go. And yes, both franchises have favored one another but they are not best friends. But we hold no rivalry either. To the players I think it's more of just going out and having fun and doing your best to get a victory. Not the same BS games we face when we play AFCN teams who try to end seasons and careers on every hit. You don't have to hate a man because he wears a different uniform.

The 99% is hyperbole because on that particular day I had several telling me how great Skylar was compared to Huntley and how the Bengals are dirty trying to hurt Josh, and all that stats that prove the Bills are the best in the league.  It wasn't selective reading it was those commenting to me that particular day.

And not that it is any of your business, but I have had some great conversations regarding ball since then.  But you do have some as.sholes over there that attack other fans.

And I can see by your response here that you come as a nice guy then show your true d.ick self.  

Maybe read more of my comments and you will see that I only respond to questions presented to me and if anything I am overly hard on my team extremely confident of the Bills.   But thanks for showing your true colors.
