Busting myths for the 14 NFL playoff teams in 2020: Josh Allen's new strength, and how dangerous are the Ravens? (espn.com) 7. Indianapolis Colts The myth: The Colts have one of the league's best defenses. This was the case for the first half of the season. Indianapolis was No. 1 in the league in total defense, if you measure by fewest yards allowed per game, through Week 9. Darius Leonard is a terror at linebacker. DeForest Buckner is a force in the middle of the defensive line. Xavier Rhodes was having a resurgent season at cornerback. The Colts' defense was one of the very best -- if not the best -- into the early part of November. Why it's wrong: It didn't hold up. From Weeks 10-16, Indy ranked 26th in total defense and 27th in defensive efficiency. In its last three games against teams in the playoff field -- Green Bay, Tennessee and Pittsburgh -- the Colts have allowed an average of 35 points and 390 yards. They did win the Green Bay game in overtime, but they blew a 24-7 second-half lead in Pittsburgh in Week 16 to cost themselves a chance to win the AFC South. Could they get it together in the postseason? Sure. But they have to go to Buffalo, where the Bills' offense is clicking as well as any in the entire league

my realistic expectation at this point is a super bowl title and i think thats perfectly reasonable..... One and done would be a complete failure. I guess i would live with anything in between the 2.

Are we really so insecure as fans that’s were are pitching a fit about time slotting of our wildcard game? good lord people, get a grip. Who cares.

I’m gonna go ahead and take credit for ALL of these defensive td’s recently. it only stands to reason the players frequent this board and felt the pressure of my weekly reminders!!!

Grrreeaattt. Now we brace for close contacts and testing result the next couple of days

No. This was the next season. 2018

Eh. Conversely, find me a team that wants to see buffalo right now. He can. Don’t be so dramatic... I get that it’s sorta your thing. But stop it.

Here's a nugget from Fairburns "10 final thoughts" before the finale. And just to clear it up DVOA puts strength of schedule into the equation. 3. If you’re looking for a stat to illustrate the Bills’ defensive turnaround, here it is: From Week 1 through Week 6, the Bills ranked 30th in defensive DVOA, according to Football Outsiders. From Week 7 through Week 16, the Bills rank sixth in defensive DVOA. The nine points the Bills allowed to the Patriots was a season low for Buffalo. This defense is a strength again.

I mean they eventually acknowledge that in the video I think. I’m not to bent about it.

I'm gonna leave this in here because this post is made up of video clips and i cant seem to find the "Jones and Foxworth" thread. I have a feeling Foxworth did this to take some heat off of his prior comments but i suppose now i'll take him off my "list".....

I guess my response to that would be, shouldn’t it be a bit scary to opposing teams that our QB is so good at the moment, our OC is designing plays for him to rip 30 yard friggin lasers while rolling out about full speed to his left in a blowout? Yikes.

Agreeing with Greggtx plants you straight into the South Pole, bro. Sorry 😂

Good stuff. Regarding point #2. I hated it when people said Allen needed to stop rolling out and tossing back into the field. Over his first 2 years I can remember plenty of plays where we got huge conversions and gains from that ability. You are right. He’s now about perfected it. Making him roll to his left is a defenses only real hope for a pressure to rattle him. Even that’s not certain anymore. And I don’t even think Allen rolling to his right should be considered a “pressure” anymore. If he starts rolling that way opposing fans may as well kiss that play goodbye. He’s gonna drive a stake through you when he rolls that way. and then onto point #8. I read a really cool write up on “The Athletic” about how Beane went to Farwell going into last offseason and told him to make a wish list. Top 2 guys on the list were Matakavich and Taiwan Jones. Beane went and got both and now here we are with a punter that is 5th in net average and a kickoff coverage unit that’s making stops inside the 20 look routine. Pretty cool.

Zero with a FRRRREEEZZZZINNGGG cold take here. Lolol. I tried explaining back then that agreeing with Greggtx wasn’t necessarily the right direction to go in. Nailed this rebuttal to said cold take. Nice. ....Also got a chuckle when I saw usual suspects trying to lay down money on under 12 wins. I notice we don’t see nearly as much of either posters anymore. Funny how that works.

Do you recall back a week or 2 before our first matchup with the Pats how he said NE was the 3rd best team in the AFC?. just classic @Penfield45 ..... CLASSIC. Im fairly certain that flowed right into him and Gene talking about how there was no way would could keep pace with the fins for the division.

its great... i deleted my post though because i didnt see somebody else already posted it just above mine.

You havnt been impressed with his constant bull rushes against backup rb’s on 3rd downs all year? 😂 Get the man a gold jacket

And thats totally fair... explaining away their success against good qb's or cherry picking facts to support a lame point isnt.

the d has been completely different since the jets game. if you cant see it that says way more about you than anything else. look at you just trying to explain away any solid performance against good qb's. this is foolishness. i mean..... "until the pic 6, pitt looked like a game"?? whats does that even mean? it was the 2nd freaking quarter. they had scored all of 7 points. what exactly are you getting at there? good lord dude.

LOL. i see you conveniently left out Wilson, Herbert, and Big Ben all top qb's this year that we totally manhandled in this 2nd half. you arent fooling anyone man. stop it.

well you're wrong... again.... rudolph just named starter.

its been hinted that they might due to not having a bye all year. But with 2 straight home playoff games on the line i cant see it.

Right? Lets pull out every qb's worst 5 games of the season and compare.... this reasoning is beyond stupid.
