Bengal bulletin board material.

For sure but I understand the NFL has to prepare.  With that said, making the Chief/Bills game a neutral site and not making the Bengals/Bills game a neutral site will never sit right with me.

Just looked at the latest model guidance. If the trend continues may have to up the possible snow accumulation totals for Sunday. Also it appears there may be a second shot at some accumulating snow middle of next week.

The more and more I think about it, the more I believe that Taylor and the Bengals defied the NFL in restarting that Bills game.

First, we're going to "give" you the division title, and as such, make your schedule next year a little bit harder.

But, we're not going to allow you to rest your starters against Baltimore in the final week, because if you lose, we're going to implement a coin toss for home field advantage because you didn't finish that game.

Oh, and we're going to conveniently forget the fact that with a win versus the Bills, you could have tied them record-wise, and claimed the #2 seed by way of a tie-breaker.

And to rub salt in the wound, we're going to allow Buffalo to play Kansas City at a neutral site, since they could've tied the Chiefs record-wise with a win, and claimed the #1 seed for themselves thanks to a tie-breaker. 

This just stinks more and more.  I mean, if they were going to have a coin flip for anything, it should've been to determine the winner between the Bengals and the Bills.  Let everything play out from there, as it normally would have.

We are in lockstep CSF.

Couldn’t agree more, Bills benefit from the game not being completed, just the early look and feel of the game I think we were going to drill them, if nothing else do a coin flip to see who gets home field if they play

Easy. Go drill them up there. Buffalo has been reeling and were at risk of losing on Sunday to Skylar Thompson. Skylar Thompson.

Right, that is all the Bengals can do.

Really, it is. While the Bills benefited from the unfortunate situation, it is not as if they are an elite power juggernaut with home superpowers.

It would hardly have been the first game that a team fell behind and then rallied for the victory. We’ve seen a 27-0 rally this week after all. The Bills lost out on the ability to get a bye week and get the 1 seed overall, and their best case scenario became playing KC at a neutral site rather than getting to host them in a far more hostile environment. I’m not disagreeing that some aspects worked out better for Buffalo than did Cincinnati, but I stop short of this not harming Buffalo. 
 

I do still think they should have just played the game Week 19 and delayed the playoffs a week, eliminating the media week before the Super Bowl.

My crystal ball says Tee Higgins may move on to greener pastures.

Green in the sense of money, yes.  Green in the sense of finding a better situation, no.

100 + targets each year in the league and an average of 1000 yards a season.

We will see, maybe it is a Marvin Jones situation but the Bengals have the 5th most cap space heading into the off season and WR is becoming like RB in the sense that teams are realizing that you can find them cheap or later in the draft.

This is always the fun part of these forecasts.  Is that regular snow or Buffalo snow?  Like it may flurry or there maybe 3 feet on the ground.
