Cut down day is never easy. For a professional athlete it may mean the end of a long sought after dream. Sometimes, it is just a bump in the road. However, it is never easy to have someone tell you you're not good enough.
Remember the days when you were trying to make the elementary, junior high or high school teams and you had to wait until the coach posted the names of those who made the team? Or maybe the coach called your house? You wanted the news, but, you didn't want to answer the phone.
Numbers game: Buffalo leads the series 13-11 thanks to eight straight victories, erasing what was once an 11-5 Cincinnati lead. The Bills boast an 8-3 record as the home team, including five straight wins. But the Bengals are 2-0 against Buffalo in the postseason.
Injury report: Bengals — OT Willie Anderson (knee) and LB Ahmad Brooks (groin) are out; LB Caleb Miller (back) is doubtful; and DT John Thornton (neck), DE Justin Smith (hamstring) and S Herana-Daze Jones (shoulder) are questionable. Bills — QB Trent Edwards (wrist) and LB Leon Joe (back) are doubtful; DE Ryan Denney (foot) and CB Ashton Youboty (ankle) are questionable.
Outcome: The Bengals have the better team and should win the game. But they won't because they've forgotten how, especially on the road. Their defense turns enemy quarterbacks into future hall-of-famers, making Cincinnati everyone's favorite homecoming opponent. The final: Bills 21, Bengals 17.
