Anyone got that "feeling" for Sunday?

Feels like a 37 - 10 loss coming.

This - But I do know that when I have that feeling, we win.

C'mon everyone - its the Bills. Its Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yes, they have won a couple games, but they could easily be 1-2.

Bengals will be taken lightly because the Bills have never seen this kind of success this early. Oh, and even with the small crowd, it will get loud if we take a lead.

Putting myself in Buffalo fan shoes = I'm pumped. Wrote this game off already as a win. Am looking at schedule and fabricating a 13-3 record in my head. No way we lose to a bad team like the Bengals.

In reality, the team is frail, is growing but hasn't fully arrived yet. They wont be taken lightly any more this year and wont get any free passes.

I think the Bengals have a chance this week.

But Buffalo goes 8-8 this year - no better

Maybe you would be thinking that... but Buffalo isn't.

Chan Gailey's quote:

It's obvious you haven't arrived because if you've arrived, you're not down by 18 and 21 in two straight games.

They aren't looking past the Bengals. They're not getting complacent after 3 games. If anything, they're trying to figure out why they have sucked in the 1st half and trying to correct it.

I don't think the Bengals get blown out... but it'll probably be a similar outcome as the last two weeks. Trailing late... unable to make the necessary plays to win the game.

Heres a game plan you got 3 running backs so use them and use them all!! Im so freaking tired of this over 30 pass attempts with a rookie QB. Run the ball, get back to pounding the ball like they did in the first game, and like they did in 09! When Benson runs the ball over 20 times, this team usally wins, so please suck it up and run it! With the defense ranked 3rd this team should be 3-0, if they would just freakin run the ball and convert some 3rd downs, and score in the redzone.

Does anyone have that Bengal will win no doubt feeling?

My feeling is the opposite.

Yeah, me too unfortunately.

The way i see it, The Bengals are averaging 19 points a game, while the Bills are TWICE that at 38 points per game.......The Bengals #3 ranked Defense is largely because they played the Browns, Broncos, and 49ers. Even if the Bengals somehow hold the Bills to Half their average, they'll have trouble scoring even that themselves....

I'm still not sold on the Bills, but this one could get ugly.....fast.

Put me in the camp that is sold on the Bills. Perhaps not as world beaters or championship contenders, but as a team that has managed to become offensively almost exactly what the Bengals want to become someday.....right down to the big-brained but noodle-armed QB.

As for that special feeling, no. Not unless the Cincy defense steps up big and produces turnovers.

How about run the ball and keep the ball away from the bills...you know what Gruden said this offense was going to be about, so im still waiting. This would be a great week to do that, get back to running the ball, and play defense.

So you thing the Bengals have a chance this week? So do I. Because the last two weeks could have easily gone to the Bengals if they made a couple plays. And vice-versa for the Bills.

Also, The coach doesn't play, he knows this is a trap game. And he also knows that they could easily be 1-2. But, how could the Bills players not look past the lowly Bengals after you just beat the mighty Patriots and the Bengals are 1-2?

This game opened at -3 for the Bills. That was when it was thought that Benson was suspended. So it may even be less.

Also, when did Buffalo become this rock solid top tier team? They are young, sucking up hype that they have never experienced before, prime for a smack in the face.

Dont forget - We will have hundreds and hundreds of fans at the game.

That should almost always be the plan. I'm not sure how successful it will be this week though. As bad as the Bills pass defense seems, the appear to be relatively stout against the run.

McFadden rushed for 150 yards against Denver and 170 against the Jets... but managed only 72 yards on 20 rushes against Buffalo. Oakland had a big lead for the majority of the game, but couldn't establish a consistent running game.

Meanwhile... Jason Campbell, who is averaging only 190 yards/game, managed 323 yards against Buffalo's pass defense. That is the weakness of their team. If the Bengals are going to win, Dalton will need to play more like he did against Denver, as opposed to how he looked against the 49ers.

You are citing several reasons as to why the players are still out to prove the doubters wrong. Your argument is that the Bills are looking past the Bengals... but then proceed to make several arguments as to why most people don't believe they have arrived.

Buffalo is very aware that people don't believe they are the real deal. And this is the NFL... not OSU at Akron. They are not looking past Cincy.

Will Buffalo win? Probably. Maybe not... but if they lose it won't be because they had already chalked it up as a win.

The mind set week in and week out of this team is to be a physical team that runs the ball. It can be done, i think the NFL has gone to much into a passing league, and the bengals need to be different. Build this team to pound the ball, and throw when they need to. Run the ball 40 times, and stick with it, and use all 3 RBs to keep them fresh. I dont know whats so hard about this, the o-line which is not that much different from 09, which was physical and ran the ball like crazy so why not now. Gruden says thats what he wanted right, thats the game he wanted to play be physical and run the ball, so freakin do, and stop throwing it over 30 times a game!

You're preaching to the choir here. I spent most of 2010 bitching about 3WR sets and TE who can't block.

But I'm tired of bitching about it... and I'm tired of watching this O-Line get pushed around on rushing plays. They seem to have lost whatever it was they had in '09.

I'm putting this post in the "man, this dude is so right" file. All these teams becoming passing juggernauts will be vulnerable to something different. They'll all build defenses like the Colts defense: made to play with a lead handed to them by their video game offense. Thus they will be heavy on pass rushing defensive ends and d-backs, but not made to stop the run because they are used to facing teams playing from behind and thus throwing the ball.

Bring on a team that can deliver a power running game and can play stout defense, and I believe you've got a recipe for success. I wonder who will replace Marvin and deliver that team to us?

If I wasn't so demoralized I'd talk myself into it. Does anyone have that Bengal will win no doubt feeling? If so, make your case.

Sure, I mean, there's a pretty fair chance they'll win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes. But really, it's more likely that they'll accidentally win a pointless game in December to screw themselves.

Oh, you meant the game? Dude, you're high.

Paging Jermaine Gresham...Mr. Gresham please.
