  1. Chuck Knox was responsible for ending the Miami woe for the 70's. He should have had a cameo in here too. This was a great montage of all the memorable moments for this team.
  2. I am as confident today as I was when I predicted the Bills would roll the Seahawks. No disrespect to a great season by the Colts, but Buffalo has been slaying good teams in primetime for six weeks now. It’s so on.
  3. Devin Singletary gets 100 yards rushing against Colts.
  4. Maybe, just maybe they want to reward him for being stuck on the PS all year by getting him a few looks in the game.
  5. Josh hasn't done it nor has his coach done it yet in the playoffs. Show me. He picks the Colts to win.
  6. There is no fiber in my being that believes the Bills season is over at 1600 on Saturday. None. Of course the Colts will fight to the end. That's what is expected. I expect some anxious moments in the game. Taylor had a decent year. He's at 5.0 average for the season. He played well last week against a bad run defense. But take away that last game and he looks rather average. He's averaging 73 yards a game WITH that 253 yard outlier. Are we giving him too much credit? after the game score, the stats are: attempts, yards, average/rush, TDs. I've bolded and separated his weekly totals.

  7. The fact that Indy faced Watson is interesting. So I went and looked at their most meaningful stats. Game 1: Colts win 26-20 Watson: 343 yards passing, 0 TDS Texans Rushing: <100 TOP: Colts 33m Rivers: 285 yards, 2 TDs Taylor: 93 yards rushing, team: 114 yards Sacks: 5!! (Buckner 2, J Houston 3) Game 2: Colts win 27-20 Watson: 373 yards, 2 TDs Texans Rushing: <100 TOP: Texans 30.5m Rivers: 228 yards, 2TDs Taylor: 83 yards, team: 127 yards Sacks: 5!! (Buckner 3, Autry 1.5, Lewis: .5) As I recall, there was also a late fumble in one of these games near the goal line stopping a late Texans drive.
  8. I wonder if he gets some residuals from Bose.
  9. Yep.. you don't build one of the best olines in football to let it walk next season.
  10. Healthy teams win the playoffs. I can't believe how healthy Buffalo is going into this game. OLINE, DLINE, RBs, TEs, DBs, LBs and most of the WRs. This team is deeper talent-wise than anyone else in the playoffs. No one is on IR. They're poised to make some noise in the playoffs.
  11. Here is my take from the Miami game. Buffalo was ineffective on early down throws. That put them in 3rd and long and Miami came out with their amoeba defense. It caused so much confusion on the line calls that it even forced a Buffalo time out called from the sidelines. Eventually, the first down passes started to connect and the 2nd and 3rd downs were more make-able. That is when I thought the game changed. I'm not so sure Buffalo adjusted to Miami as much as they started getting completions. Thoughts?
  12. I think the formula that has worked effectively over the last couple of months is getting 7-8 yards on first down throws. Scoring drives of 8-10 plays has a cumulative effect of slowing down the pass rush. Indy fans have seen it repeated over and over in the last few games. Fast starts, slow finishes. The occasional Bills handoff game is only necessary to keep them biting on the RPOs. This is not a running team. It only becomes a running team when the other team's defense is out of gas. As to the Bills stopping the run, I think this is where you are going to see the benefit of 8 healthy rotational DLinemen and three healthy LBs. I would imagine Indy's front four is tired. Buckner is dinged. Have them chase Josh around a bit and wear them down. Is it Saturday yet?
  13. Ahh Charlotte.. Home of the Buffalo Bills minor league football team.
  14. I sent in a sealed bid of $1 for the rights to name it "wjag" . I am anxiously awaiting word.
  15. Agreed. I want to believe what I see now is the baseline, and what happens this week and next is the next level. With Rodgers and Mahomes being on a bye this week, it seems like it has been Josh Allen 24-7 in media coverage. The convo will definitely be interesting when the new seedings are out next week. The only two games I care about this weekend are Buffalo vs Indy and Cleveland vs Pittsburgh. I want the Jackson Mahomes matchup. Because I believe Mahomes will cancel out Jackson. I want to get to a belief structure that Allen will cancel out Jackson. I'm not there yet. Mahomes has earned that respect, Allen can earn it too with big wins over Jackson or Mahomes.
  16. I agree. But here's the but. You gots to show it early. That will keep one of those DB spies from falling into the zone.
  17. Bookends to the regular season. Sure was a fun month of December to be a Bills fan. Erasing the national narrative and image one game after the next.
  18. Yes. Superbowl and an exorcism would be great. Be the best, beat the best.
  19. The thing I was thinking about today was the amount of material we now have access to. Back in the 90s, it was the Courier Express and Buffalo Evening News. And that was it. Monday morning had extensive write ups about the Bills and the other games. And then it was an article or two per day until Sunday. Now you can lose an entire day just wandering around youtube for clips. The instant information we have now was unheard of back then.
  20. Leave the punter home. Add another skill player to the roster in lieu of.
