Bills vs. Bengals: Week 11, 2010 Film Review (Recap)

by Brian Galliford on Sep 28, 2011 11:30 AM EDT in Buffalo Bills Re-Watch

The Buffalo Bills will begin preparations for a Week 4 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals today. We may as well get prepped too, right? Let's start this process by taking a look back at the game between these two teams last year - a 49-31 thriller that the Bills won at Paul Brown Stadium in Week 11.

Earlier this off-season, we re-watched several Bills games from the 2010 season, including this matchup. In case you missed it - or just want to review it again to get back up to speed - here's what we noticed from that game.

In the first half, the Bills made plenty of mistakes in falling behind 28-7, then 31-14. Eric Wood and Demetrius Bell, in particular, really struggled.
The Bills outscored the Bengals 35-0 in the second half, taking advantage of Cincinnati's reserve safeties. Wood was injured; Kraig Urbik came in at right guard, and Wood didn't play that spot again for the Bills. Oh, and Stevie Johnson is really good at football.
We took a look at Wood's struggles with the spin move at right guard; insofar as this week's game goes, let it highlight the fact that the Bengals have a criminally underrated defensive line.
Prior to losing both starting safeties, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw three interceptions (one negated by penalty). Once the safeties went down, Chan Gailey went for the jugular.

The Bengals have a criminally underated defensive line.

Not sure how to interrupt this. Without doing a background check this could be the most accurate statement of the year. I think we will be fine and put up some points, but they won’t come without total team effort. We will need to make plays to take the wind out of their sails. There is an underlying flavor of dirty play involved here and I can see it coming. Marvin Lewis, the master of fine lining the grey area of physical and dirty play.

The Bills need a quick start in Cincinnati. You can’t spot this team a lead, they’re young on offense and can get after you on defense. If you give them a lead and keep them in the game, the Bills could leave Cincy 3-1.

Heck ya! Get ahead, and stay ahead.
But I agree with Brian that this defensive line is as good as the Raiders. No Schleps by any stretch.
I actually envision a lower scoring game too.
