Buffalo Rumblings
That was an ugly half of football by the boys in blue, aside from one key touchdown pass and two-point conversion. It feels like déjà vu, with the Buffalo Bills losing to the Cincinnati Bengals at home within a snow globe. Yet this time, it’s somehow even worse. Today the Bills trail the Bengals 21-11 after a miserable half of football.
Things have gone well for Cincinnati, where once again they look like the team far more accustomed to playing in the snow. The defense is in over its collective head, from the play calling to the execution, and the inability to match up talent wise. The offense has failed to take advantage of a suspect Bengals run defense, instead forced into a no-punt approach that too often relies on Allen trying to make magic happen with less-than-ideal options to haul in those passes.
The calls aren’t going the Bills’ way, and now wide receiver Khalil Shakir is a bit hobbled. Hopefully neither plays a huge role in the outcome.
Can Buffalo still win this? Certainly, simply because Josh Allen plays quarterback for the Bills. If they continue playing similar football in the second half, forget about it. With that here’s your open thread for the rest of today’s Bills-Bengals game. As always, be kind to one another — and in all things… Go Bills!
