Da webster guy

Agreed. He is WAY better against the run than the pass. That pop on Taylors goal line sweep was classic Taron, I knew it was him before I saw his number. The only other db run stopper in his class is Dane Jackson. Fierce hitter who i think should start ahead of Norman.

With two more killer receivers in Diggs and Davis. Honestly Gabe is a legit NFL force now. Huge catch radius, sticky hands, smart feet, blocks well, does it all. The kid had no preseason games and limited targets and all he does is show that he should have been AT LEAST a 2nd round pick and maybe a 1st rounder. Trent Murphy in for the injured Daryl Johnson is an X factor as well. I'm certain we will see him and I expect some impact plays from the veteran like last year in the playoffs. Also will see McKenzie and Yeldon on a few gadget plays the Ravens havent seen yet. Daboll didn't call anything ballsy last game and it almost cost us the season. Thank God for the dozen drops and the Ghost of Ralph flyin around out there on defense whacking balls.

That would be so awesome. Josh wouldn't know what to do if he didn't have to carry the team himself. It's getting to the point where its not even worth him doing play action because the D knows he's gonna sling it.

Love how the cop on the right gives a quick high five to the lady in front of him. Also love how Rivers couldn't get it in the endzone from midfield. Yikes.

I mostly agree with Sims although we held the Indy rushing to a very solid number for the first 3 quarters. Had some nice Dback play, but other than that we got so freaking lucky with all the drops they had, it was like the ghost of Ralph was looking down on our defense, running around on the field deflecting passes like the weird dead guy on the subway in the movie Ghost. He got a hand on that field goal miss too, which was the difference in the game. It was weird because we felt outplayed but because of the crazy good luck we somehow held the Colts to 10 points after 3 quarters. It's no secret we have pass rush issues. I think Trent Murphy will be active this week in hopes of him playing like he did vs Houston last year, which was game changing. Our offense will do it's thing, but we need some wins in the trenches on defense badly.

141 Row 11. 5,6,7,8 Yes. Shouldnt matter on state.

We are pumped about getting seats for next weekend. Got four seats row 11 section 141. Hard to tell from seating charts, it looks like they've blocked off some rows down low. Did anybody sit down low on Saturday? We are trying to figure out how many rows were blocked off and if we have anyone sitting between us and the field. It might affect what kind of sign we make, size etc. Also if anyone has a cool banner or sign they'd be willing to donate we'd represent with it and return it to you if that's cool. We thought maybe "I GOT MY CRABS AT TWO BILLS DRIVE" would be sweet......

Considering Dane Jackson is inactive and Josh Norman is in, you can see how much McD favors experience, even at the expense of pure talent. Yeldon clearly will be active, the question is will we elevate both backs if TJ seems rusty. Williams sure looked like a beast vs Miami, and that was no preseason game. Fumbling is an issue with Yeldon, maybe Williams will get the nod. I hope they go with the kid. Is he a pass catcher?

No accuracy whatsover in weather forecast 6 days away with the big lakes unfrozen this time of year. Even major systems are unpredictable this far out. 48 hours and in MAYBE.

He didn't play THIS well. Bills crowd at home knows how to manage noise for the offense.

Not treated like a superstar, he was just an underdog and fan favorite because of his story and the work he puts in. Plus if there's a bench clearing fight, Duke will kick Quentin Nelsons ass.

Our best CB tackler on the team. Very surprised he's not going to be involved vs this run heavy team. I think it's clear Daboll is going to spread and sling and he needs to have a bunch of fresh WR's. Duke can special teams it up with the best of em, block like hell and play his ass off. Has more playoff catches than Gabe lol.

Shoulda gone with Rosen

And our Oline play has been really solid. Boettger filling in for Cody, Mitch playing well and we all know about the other three studs. Cant beat a team that gives its qb 4 seconds to throw every play, especially Josh and his weapons.

Excellent question, the kind I like because we will eventually learn the answer. The offense may get even better, as Josh and Daboll have at their jobs over the past few years. Josh and Diggs are elite now, there arent any teams with a top qb and wr that don't score a lot of points, regardless of the OC. When you throw in the supporting cast and depth of this team, I suspect we won't miss a beat without Daboll. The NFL coaching ranks is littered with coordinators who had a great year, left for a HC job and were fired within three years or less. Its far more likely to happen than not. Daboll isn't a very charismatic guy either based on his interviews, that might be a liability when his teams needs an energetic, in-your-face motivator.

Indy got outscored by Steelers a few weeks back 21-3 in the 2nd half in their most critical game of the season. They knew the pass was coming and had no answer. You already know their gameplan against us, run Taylor and get Hynes some screens which Rivers is great at selling (and checking to if he likes). They want our offense on the bench, long drives, full clock runoff between plays. The one thing I think people are sleeping on is Rivers can still throw a nice deep ball. Granted, he looks like ME when he throws it, but somehow despite the clumsy looking effort he can still hit the go route if we start crowding the line to stop the run. Basically Frank is going to use the same plan the Giants used against his Bills team in the superbowl. Avoid a shootout, play physical, tricky looks in coverage, hybrid stuff etc. Don't give Josh 5 seconds to throw like Miami did. I think we win by 15 though. It's not their year its our year.

Early season we felt the loss when teams were running all over us. Both players were good against the run and with the loss of Star and Harrison/Butler's slow starts we were weak inside. For awhile there we had poor Ed playing the 1 tech at 270lbs thats just cruel. As usual for McD and Frasier, they're good at fixing leaks, the season wore on and we're decent against the run now. Shaq and Jordan would have both been contributors but for the money on those deals not a good value from a year 1 perspective. Speaking of Star, he must feel like a complete idiot missing all of this.

IPA's, ribs on the smoker, veggie tray, baked chicken wing dip wearing my new lucky bills undies which we average in the high 40pts per game when I wear so rest easy gents, Colts aren't scoring that many points I don't care how good Taylor looks running the ball. Maybe some Ramen for the late game to remind us of how River's had such a noodle arm in the cold.

Glad to see the AFC seedings land where they did. The two guys outside of KC that worry me are Derrick Henry and Lamar, and as long as Pitt beats CLE (is Ben 3 points better than Mason Rudolph?) then we won't have to face either one of those guys until AFC championship game if at all. As far as Indy goes, RB Taylor is red hot and he can rip you for long gains. In the past month he has been getting impressive yardage even vs stacked boxes. If our offense can build a lead and force the Colts to pass more in the 2nd half, we will win this game comfortably.

Sounds like the deal Brady and Kraft had with his ridiculous TB12 marketing company that allowed him to take millions off the cap hit. Full on cheating, just another example in a long line of it out there.

Taylor is amazing. Yards after contact these past few games is off the charts. Gonna need solid gap control and a big game from Milano and Tremaine. Hines is way behind him in terms of explosiveness.

This year we got it right, but last year they won the game on that same play. Last year neither our special teams coach nor McD nor Dimarco reacted to the same exact play and they ended up with a free rusher, blocked the punt and cost us the game. It was a clear case of Old Bill outcoaching young Sean. This year Jaquan and the rest of the team were ready.

Haha so true on both counts

Bill is probably most frustrated that he insisted HE be the GM instead of putting a qualified person in the job. He's done a poor job at it, and now they're screwed. If you think Donta Hightower, Chung and Van Noy opting out is a legit excuse, wait til next year when they win even less games. Best of all, now no free agent is going to want to go to NE because it's a disaster and the HC has built zero culture there.

So this means if we win vs Fins we play Colts, lose we play the Browns
