I think Daboll is the main reason this game was so stressful. We had multiple chances to run away with it but he kept calling stupid drive killing plays that let the Colts hang around. The way you beat a strong running team is not with slow methodical drives that drain the clock with 2 yard runs. That's playing into what the Colts wanted. We should have been aggressive passing the ball and building a lead so big that running wasn't an option for them.
I just don't understand why he went away from our identity in this one. It's like he accidentally grabbed the 2019 playbook on the way to the game. Allen played great and we had our full complement of receivers for the first time in forever, yet we somehow ended up punting the ball more than any game since the bye. That's 100% on Daboll. I won't be unhappy to see him hired away this year.

In retrospect the Hail Murray was the turning point of the season. In past years that would mean it was the moment where a promising season fell apart. But under McDermott's leadership it lit a fire under us and we haven't lost a game since. How fitting that our first playoff win in 25 years ended on a hail mary stop. I think that heartbreaking loss was exactly what this team needed.

The play definitely bothered him. On the ensuing 2nd down he had Diggs open to set up a manageable 3rd down and just missed him, on a throw he almost always hits. Luckily he has a week to shake it off. He'll be fine.

He's not a very good #2? Are you serious? Nah you cant be.
He's been a #3 for most of his career for a reason. He has a history of dropping the ball in critical situations. He looks better than he really is because Josh Allen elevates the players around him. I know it's not a popular take but I've been saying this since last year when people on here were seriously trying to argue he is a #1 WR. He is really just a decent route runner with above average speed and average hands. We needed him to make a play in Houston last year and he couldn't do it.

Where the heck is John Brown too?
Bills fans have overrated John Brown for two years now. He is not a very good #2 option. He's decent. But I believe we can do better.

I'm going to give it to the players that made game changing plays in order of importance.
Allen
Bass
Diggs
Davis
No one on defense for me.

how was that not reviewed without us calling a TO. unreal
For real. When that 1st down play snapped I was screaming at the TV.

By the way I HATED the all out blitz on 4th down. Why do we do that to ourselves?

I think we just won the game

We blitz and don't get to him anyways. Just play coverage.

Yikes Allen didn't need to do all that

Does anyone seriously believe this defense is ready to win a Super Bowl? We have to beat Mahomes to make it there.

That's an incredible kick. Rookie in cold Buffalo in a pressure situation.

That's the problem with wasting a down on a dumb QB run. Daboll has been terrible this game.
-
Man I just don't get it. Every pass is a positive play. And we just keep running Allen into a wall.

Special teams again...

I'm sorry but this is not a championship defense. Colts have beaten themselves more than we've beaten them.

Let Allen cook!!! I can't believe how much his deep ball has improved over the last month. What a beast.

See that QB run I'm fine with. Run him straight from the pocket. The sweeps I don't like.
And as I'm typing this we call a stupid short run play. Daboll hasn't figured it out yet??

I have to give the Colts coaching staff credit, their game plan was superb. They're just not getting any bounces.

Phew. Good thing that throw was off because the play was there.

white getting abuaed
That wasn't White's fault at all. Nothing he could without drawing a penalty. We left him on an island and Rivers is too smart for that.
Just gonna say it: Daboll’s worst game since the first half of the season

Eh defense has been bad all year. It hasn't been terrible like it was the first few weeks, but it's still been pretty mediocre over the last couple months. I knew the Colts would score at least 21 points in this one, I just expected our offense to do what it's been doing and put up at least 30 while sustaining drives. And really, looking at the stats, we should have been able to do that if the game plan hadn't been stupid.
Our passing efficiency today was unbelievable. 74% completion percentage, 9.3 YPA, 121.6 passer rating, 2 TDs 0 INT. When Allen scrambled on designed pass plays we were also very effective. There was a stretch in the 2nd half where every time we passed the ball we picked up big chunks of yards and every time we ran we got stuffed, yet Daboll kept throwing in running plays. To keep Indy honest I guess? I just hate that mindset. I don't care if the defense is expecting a pass. Pass it anyways and dare them to stop us. We did that against the Seahawks and the Patriots (2nd game) for example and had some of our best offensive production of the year.
So yes the defense was not good but it really hasn't been good all year. This is an offense-led team. Daboll should know by now what we do well. No matter what the defense does there's no excuse for us to fall short of 30 points when we're passing the ball that well, and we're lucky Bass was perfect in this game. 3 TDS doesn't cut it.
