Bob in STL

I am ridiculously nervous right now. I think we can win it’s just the waiting. In the 90’s we mostly played playoffs in the afternoon. Keys to game: 1. Allen plays smart and makes big plays. He is always our key. 2. Contain Lamar’s running and make him throw. Meaning get a nice lead. 3. Contributions from the running game. 4. Take the ball away from them.

Slower and experienced might be good against the Ravens where edge containment is critical.

It’s amazing how much media there is for the NFL. With all the TV, Internet, and social media coverage it only makes sense that the quality of it is poor. Why listen to, or concern yourselves with, all these opinions? The majority come from unqualified people who mimic what they heard another person say. The game will be decided on the field and I like our chances. I expect a better overall performance from last week and another win in a closely contested game.

Morons.

Yes, they have a list of candidates, internal and external, just in case they need it. No, I do not believe they have even started interviewing anyone for a job that is not yet open. I think the focus is on the Ravens.

^ Ahhh the internet. More proof you can find anything you want on it.

Doubt it. If they hire from within I doubt that they already told the person “if Daboll leaves, your in”. I think they might hire from within but that won’t stop them from looking at all options.

Yes, Milano played a strong game. The whiners that don’t understand defense should read this.

We saw he was not a very good pass blockers the time. He has become pretty solid overall but we can’t keep everyone. If was has better than what we had they would have kept him.

They gave the veteran pro bowler last week off. That really paid dividends.

We packaged those picks for Diggs.

We have to get them into 3rd and long. Lamar running is the threat to watch. They can be beat.

I had some things to take care of tonight and I just tuned in and it’s 28-0 Browns. WOW! I am surprised, not that Cleveland is winning but 28 zip is crazy.

So they can block and tackle each other instead? Even without an actual handshake a tap on the should and “good game” with a mask on is not out of the question. Instead he runs ands skips away like a child. No Class.

No. He went back for an interview.

Lamar leaves with no handshakes ?????

Would like to see a Ravens fumble-6.

Logo stomping. What children.

Average playoff team that won 11 games? that is as good as many division winners. The Colts ST and Defense outranked the Bills by a significant amount this season. Their offense, especially the running game and their OL passing blocking, is built for playoffs. It’s unrealistic to think we can win every game by double digit scores. We can play better but maybe we didn’t play better because the other team is also very good?

Right on. Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and Baltimore are all capable of matching up well against us. I expect another tough game next week and hopefully the home field and not traveling helps us get better prepared. Just winning that Colts game will us prepare better. The players responded to McDermott after they game. “Get some rest and get ready to work”.

The 12th Man is the Bills Mafia. Same thing, different era, different marketing. Social media pumps up Bills Mafia. Winning 4 straight AFC Titles - much was attributed to the 12th Man. The Stadium had more people in it and it was louder than it is today. I think changing it would be a bad idea. Eventually someone will be offended by the term “mafia” and wonder why people today tolerated such a name. History repeats itself.

Great example of a fickle fan that is lacking insight. I can’t believe anyone would want Milano on the bench if he is healthy enough to play. He blitzed in the lane that the defense calls for and if the DL is getting handled and blown out - which they were, he cannot fix that. Klein was some strengths but coverage is not one of them. The blown coverage on the TD was clearly a hand off to White who had responsibility for that player deep. It’s called a “zone defense”. The defense as a unit had a rough game, especially the front 4.

The worst thing they can do is hope they don’t have to play someone. Bring on however come to us.

Based on what we saw against Miami Williams may have earned another shot. We shall see.

Wow. It definitely feels like a win and it feels great. Indy is a strong team with an excellent defense, a strong running game and playoff experience. Nothing to be upset about. We play at home next week and we will be more confident after getting our first playoff win. Try to have fun.
