***(Divisional) PLAYOFF GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Bills***

[NotBigzo]

Romo not being able to Blow Josh Allen is the best part of this game.

I think it's 4 down no matter what, Bengals burning 6 minutes a drive

Only half the distance to the goal

It was and goal. It would have still been 4th down...just closer.

Burrow hands off on the first play and it is a walk in TD for Mixon - sometimes we just get tempted in these situations into being too cute.

Goal to go and not an automatic first penalty.

Burrow should have given it to Mixon.

I'm sure I missed it, but are they allowed to clear the field on a FG attempt? I thought I seen the league said they were going to start cracking down on that

Wouldn’t have been a first. 4th and goal and off-sides is not an automatic first

Well, there's still post game.

Job 1, keep him in the pocket.  No long runs or break contains and launch it downfield.

Because it would be 4th and goal from the 2 1/2, instead of 4th and goal from the 5 where we scored 3 from.

The only poor Burrow series of the game.

Up 3 scores against the "number 2" defense in the league and Tee is a one man Buffalo secondary wrecking crew..

It was 4th and goal. No first down available.

[Destro]

4 down defense for the rest of the game. Apple better strap up.

I honestly think the Bills are just in a weak division. The afc north is tough even in down years.

The AFC east is weak.

[Foolishpride]

They're decimated in the defensive backfield.

Agreed. It’s about time for him to do something dumb. I’ll go with fumble.

How we all feeling about that patchwork line now?

Still worried when we play a great pass rush, but we won’t see that until the Super Bowl. Think any D in the NFC that’s left will still be tough. Feeling a lot better about next week though. Great job by the backups and coaching staff this week.
