That's No Moon

I have no doubt that Mahomes will play. The toe is still going to be an issue. That's not a one week injury and it's going to hurt all game.

Early look at the weather is less than ideal. 40 and rainy.

This is also why I get so irrationally angry when Daboll calls designed QB runs

This is smart. If you are facing a team wearing white, white gloves need to be mandatory. White is one of the universally acceptable colors for accessories.

Are those Terry's lucky socks or the socks in which Terry gets lucky?

Idk, I've been around enough Steelers fans that call them the Raisins that I felt it was appropriate. It was definitely intentional.

I'm at Wegmans in Bel Air, MD. It's covered in Raisins stuff. SHAME! SHAAAAAME!!!!

City of Good Neighbors right there. Cheering the guy on and then checking to make sure he didn't actually hurt himself too badly. Plenty of places would have let him lie there.

I was going to say something like that, but you beat me to it so I will chuckle and avoid the warning points. Thanks.

He was retired

Bakhtiari is out for the year, they need a guy.

I know. He's banged up also. And beasley wasn't himself.

Offense could be anyone. They reached into the NCAA for Daboll. They clearly, and rightly, want a creative coach who wants to be multiple. Defense might be a little easier to pin down presuming they aren't looking to change the focus of the defense too much. These will be critical hires for McDermotts career. The tree for him to pick from is pretty bare. It's time for him to build his own tree. Doug Peterson just got fired because he couldn't replace John DiFillipo and Frank Reich.

I dont know that Beasley has a whole game to give us. Need someone else to win in the slot.

It wasn't that they went to sleep. The Colts picked up the pace and stopped grinding clock. They moved the ball the whole game. They just moved it faster in the 4th.

I normally don't likes the reds, but at night, in snow would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Given the way both teams played I would be shocked to see us open as home dogs.

Clearly they haven't played enough Renegade

Awesome, my son has hockey all afternoon. We will get home in time to eat and settle in. Perfect

I don't want it to snow, not at all, but if it does and it's supposed to snow hard we need to break out the reds and make the ravens wear white. Visibility is a thing.

Well. The 1 seeds are already coming off the bye. Giving them the Saturday game doesn't matter to them. They play the lowest remaining seeds so the lowest seeds get the shortest amount of rest. You are the lowest seed so tough teats. The higher remaining seeds play Sunday which means they at least get a full week of rest as their reward for being the higher seed. The teams who could have been potentially been stuck with a short week this year were Tennessee, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Chicago. At most, 3 of them would possibly have advanced and, at most, 2 of them would have played on short rest. Minimally, one of them would play on short rest. Top seeds in baseball do not have to play for several days and can set up their pitching while the WC play in game is happening.

Frankie, you're my brother and I love you; but never take sides against the family.

I would love to see that. The point of the thread was to ask what you would do to stop them. The Colts aren't just going to refuse to take the field so the exercise we are attempting to entertain is thinking through what they might actually do not to come up with reasons why everything they might try won't be successful. There are other threads for that.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. If Pittsburgh's own offense was able to get it's head out of its arse in the first half that game looks way different. FWIW, the Bills were down 0-3 after the first quarter last Sunday against Miami, had an INT and 2 punts and a grand total of like 42 yards of offense. They mess around on Saturday and do that and Indy goes up 14 zip while running the ball down their throat and with Rivers hitting play action to TY and Pittman and lots of sphincters will be puckering. One thing I am legit worried about is the Bills coming out too amped up because there will be some people there for the first time. They don't need to do anything different, they just need to play the way they've played.

There isn't a binary work/does not work option. You have to play the odds. Blitzing can work if you can confuse the offense and get free runners but it also exposes your backend quite a bit. Pittsburgh and Miami come to mind as teams that had some success early in the game but then the Bills adjusted and tore them apart. If you are Indy and your plan is to gamble then on the offensive side they REALLY need to score early and a couple of times to put pressure on the Bills offense because once they figure out what you are doing they've been taking people to the woodshed. I'm not going to fall into the trap of saying there is nothing that can stop an offense. We've all seen amazing offenses get stymied. It certainly helps that the Bills have played several good defenses already this year and have seen lots and lots of different types of ways to attack them.
