Bills game plan is so conservative it's making Mitch McConnell blush.

Were they expecting more snow or something?
Easing in and probing. CIN is fucking terrible at that.

Nice play acting by the Bengals guy to draw the holding penalty.

For me, this is touchdown or bust.

So two shots to get it in from the one.

Well…never mind.

What a throw and catch, Burrow to Chase.

Wait, he may have bobbled it.

This is a really close one. I feel like he caught it but probably not by the rules.

If you catch, then two feet, then bobble as you are going to the ground but the ball doesn’t hit the ground, isn’t that a catch?

I hate the rule, but that’s not a catch.

Thank God this wasn’t the rule back in 1995 (also that there was no replay in 1995) because Ernie Mills’ catch at the one in the AFCCG would not have counted.

Nope it was moving completely free of his hands at one point.

Again…I think it’s a dumb rule…but it is the rule.

The ball came out of his grip. You have to complete the catch. He didn’t.

I don't pretend to know what a catch is, and I'm not convinced the league does either.

He highpointed the ball uncleanly, then the ball is brought to his hip with help from the defender and there was movement of the ball with the stitches rotating. That in and of itself resets the foot count. Then as he is going out of bounce, it is questionable whether he got 2 feet in again, and the ball still moves by the time he hits the deck.

I think it was the right call. Ballsy reversal, but correct.

Bills must score a touchdown on their opening drive.

Must.

I'm surprised how much better the Bengals look than the Bills. I thought they were pretty even.

I'm not.

Skylar Thompson almost beat the Bills 1 week ago.

Skylar Fucking Thompson.

Kenny and our defense MOST DEFINITELY could have beaten Buffalo.

Bengals´ D is very underrated. Bills´ D is a bit overrated. There you go.

But unless they changed the rule, which they very well might have, in the EZ - and in the EZ only - catch and two feet is a TD and play over. Getting shoved OOB and losing the ball in the process wouldn't matter.

Certainly not enough to overturn it. And I love how they added this clown to the broadcast team to gaslight fans every time the refs blow a call.

I still think they are pretty even. Anything can happen in 1 half of football.

If they played each other 10 times, it would probably be 5-5.

Once again, Josh Allen comes up small.

Flaccid.

Burrow is preparing to shoot Tom Bryron-like ropes into the faces of Bills fans everywhere.
