Rebuttal to the "cocky" Bills fans

[BillzFan]

I know that there are plenty of Bills fans that are feeling good about our last couple of weeks, and they are mostly a young cocky bunch with limited memories. But our Bills team has made some positive strides.

First off, let me congratulate you folks for having a fantastic team. Bengal fans have had to put up with more crappy seasons than most and those that stayed true have my respect. But trust me there is a thin line between suffering a losing underachieving season VS having one incredibly great season after another followed by one heart wrenching superbowl loss after another. Who has had it worse? Hard to say. Nuf said.

The Bengals are vastly improved over last year. Rudi is the real deal and he gets the tough yards to keep the chains moving. You have two of the best receivers in the league, and TJ (on my fantasy team at work) has gotten rid of the "soft" tag and is playing incredible even though he has been hammered making some tough catches. Palmer is going to be real special, but Kitna is no slouch. I would challenge anyone to find a better 1-2 punch at the QB position in the league.

If there was a weakness on your team now, I would say that your defense has not yet turned the corner. Although they have been able to generate turnovers they have also given up some big plays and are a bit soft on the run.

The suprise is your offense, especially taking into account the defenses your team has faced.

Buffalo has a very improved defense where the biggest difference between this year and last year has been forcing turnovers. The emergence of McGee at corner, Edwards at DT, and Kelsey at DE has really turned up the heat on offenses this year. Schobel, Williams, and Adams get most of the credit on that line, but it has been the emergence of the others that has freed them up to make plays.

McGee had a rough start this year filling in for Vincent at CB, but has since emerged as the starter which has allowed the coaches to put the venerable pro-bowler at free safety. This gives us two probowl caliber players at the safety and free safety positions in Milloy and Vincent. Vincent had a great game against the Browns, but he remains the X-factor because of his limited reps at that position.

Our offense isn't "all that and a bag of chips". They have started to play a more mistake-free ball control game, but Bledsoe still has errant throws and brain-farts now and then. Although his play of late has been good, there are many of us who have given up on the idea of Bledsoe winning a game for us - rather we hope he does nothing to lose the game for us.

New England owns us and Bledsoe in particular. Don't ask me why. Belechik gets in Drew's head plain and simple. Your team had much more success against them than we had in our last outing.

I expect a tough game. I think that the Bills will need to win the field position and time of possession battle to beat your team therefore I believe that special teams will play a huge role in this game. I will go with the Bills, but if the Bengals have a fast start in the game scoring first, then my Bills are in for a long unpleasant day.

You all have a team to be proud of, and have a lot to look forward to next year.

You know this nice guy &#$% is getting old. We don't need no stinkin' congratulations on anything. The Bengals need to break these damned Bills or there's nothing to congratulate. It's time for the mood to get ugly. There's only one mission - run these squirley wannabes the hell up out of here. To lose to the Bills would be like losing to the Browns a second time - time to clean house in a big way. Let the damned lousy Bills come in your house and punk you out and you don't have a house. This is the game that really shows what these guys are made of.

KILL BILLS!!!! -- or else, get the hell out of town.

Another cyber-meglomaniac speaking (grunting) for all Bengal fans... you need some serious drugs dude.

WE don't need this... and WE don't need that... how amusing. Do you have a mouse in your pocket, or are there several Bengal fans with you?

Don't confuse nice with honest.... troll.

Poor, Poor Tub Thumper - attacking a fellow Buffalo Bills fan when he was merely trying to ease the agony of your upcoming defeat. You sad misguided individual may the football gods piss in your bathwater. We'll talk on Monday because "What we have here is a failure to communicate."

Failure to communicate? You come here making your sh*t known, and you say we have failure to communicate? Please explain where you are in the right here.

Ms. bengalady,

What the heck did you just ask me? Are you okay. Get that cup of coffee and let's try this again.

K, I just failed to read all of it. My bad. Continue to mingle. For some reason I thought you were talking sh*t.

GoBengals!!!!

The bottom line is that the Bills are garbage - a classic "opponent." At this stage of the season, you beat them and kick them out of the playoffs or you've got serious problems.

There's a time for all that friendly shiit. The time is past. *#&@ the Bills, &#@! their fans and *#@! all that "hard-fought, exciting contest" crap. Win or else clean house. The money players will show up in this game. If you blow your assignment, commit the stupid error, fail to hit as viciously as you can in a gme like this, are you really worth having on an NFL team that aspires to championships. I don't think so.

The image of the league is sanitized, but the reality is ugly. *$@# these lousy Bills up or you're worse garbage than they are. You either want it or you don't. Yep, that's the bottom line.

Tub Thumper - such bitterness is the pressure getting to you. You sound pretty unbalanced and unstable. The game will be over soon, defeat will permeate throughout Bengal land and you and Beaker and the rest of you pathetic miscreants can begin shoveling, eating some warmed over chili and start fantasizing about your draft position. It will be okay butt rumper er, I mean tub thumper.
