Oh, I agree. I’m rooting for the Colts to win too. I believe we can run the table. It’s just been interesting to hear people say that it may be better if the Colts lose. So, I wanted to see how many actually think that.

Not that I agree with them but I’ve heard people on the forum say that it may be better for the Colts to lose because it opens up more playoff possibilities for us and they don’t feel we can beat the Pats.

The Pats/Colts game has massive implications for our playoff run. While I get it, it was interesting to hear on the forum this week how many fans are rooting for the Colts to lose. So, I thought I’d make a poll to get a pulse of the fan base. I’m rooting for the Colts to win because I believe the division is still in play. The Bills have a great chance of beating the Pats and running the table. Place your vote and then discuss. Go Bills!

You definitely could be right, bro, they may not have a deep playoff run. That said, the reason you have hope is the reason I have lots of hope. I know it’s only one 1/2 of a football game but they really showed some thing in that second half of the Tampa Bay game. Not saying it’s going to transfer over for sure, but we know the team has the talent and has shown it before for long stretches. If it does transfer over, watch out. We can literally beat anyone if we start playing consistently like that. Also, to your point, everybody’s beatable in the AFC. We even beat KC. I Realize they weren’t at their best at the time, that said, we still beat them and now we know that we can. Also, they would’ve lost last night if it wasn’t for the overly aggressive coach of the chargers. While time is short, there still is time to right the ship, get on a hot streak and see what happens come playoff time.

I know the thread didn't end up going well but I'm with your premise on why you started this thread. Good thoughts, Success. Too many fans have mailed it in. We still have a good shot at the division (especially with a Patriots loss on Saturday). We still control our own destiny when it comes to getting into the playoffs as a WC. If the Pats lose to the Colts, we control our own destiny for the division. Also, it's not like we have a murderer's row final four games. We have three winnable games and a big matchup against the Pats. While the Pats are good, there not as good as they're being hyped up to be. You fight until you're eliminated. And then after that, you still fight for the pride of your team. Everything is still in front of us. It's time to gut it out and get into the dance. Go Bills!

Good picks, fellas! Whether it's Beasley, Davis or Knox as long as someone can consistently be Josh's safety valve in this game, it will be good for him because of his foot injury. I think it'll be pretty important for JA to have quick outlets this game to keep the hits at bay while he pushes through his foot injury. I know it's not a bad injury but it still could limit his elusiveness.

At least some on the outside know how good we have it. Pretty crazy how some fans don't appreciate him.

I agree, bro. Good thoughts, go for it all. Don’t just settle.

Ya know, the odds of your prediction coming true are really good. How many Panthers do we have again? Good one, House! 😛🤣

Hey @SoCal Deek, where in SoCal are you? I'm in the San Diego area. Great to have other Bills fans in the SoCal area, bro. Go Bills!

I’m going with Cole Beasley. As we know, the Panthers aren’t a good team but they do have a good defense and pass rush. So, it will be important for Josh to have his safety valve in Cole. He’ll also be a factor in helping to continue to move the chains. Because of Josh’s injury, he’s also going to need that quick safety valve so the hits can stay at a minimum. Who ya got? Go Bills!

Someone already pointed out, I believe it’s @Nextmanup (sorry if it’s not you), that we have a 100% chance of making the playoffs if we win out. So, to your point, there’s no scenario where we DON’T make the playoffs if we win out.

In all seriousness, I don’t even know if Baltimore is going to make the playoffs.

Yeah, I agree. It just needs to be a healthy balance. Let’s not swing the pendulum to either extreme.

Actually, you’re right. Nobody really stood out during the Pats game. If one person would’ve stood out, we most likely would’ve won.

Yup! Do what you have to, to move the chains. It's why the drops have been so devastating lately, stalled drives that take our consistency and then take us out of the game.

Thanks for posting, Long Suffering. You added some good thoughts. Let's hope that JA continues to be a force with his arms and legs, especially in the red zone. Go Bills!

Good point, bro. Like I said above, MJ got 5 yards on 2 tries. No reason JA couldn't have gotten 6 yards on 4 tries.

"And in case I don't see ya: good afternoon, good evening and good night."

I definitely see why fans are down. That said, I agree. Not saying they will but this team definitely has the talent and experience to turn this thing around. Even if they make it in as a WC team, they can be very dangerous come playoff time.

Yeah, with Star out, he's definitely going to have to have a big game.

It was frustrating and perplexing why they ran ZM on 1st and Goal when it just doesn't work. It was such a wasted down. That down would've been a great time to try a JA planned run. Then, you had the Pats run MJ, who isn't even in the same league when it comes to running ability, run two straight times on 3rd and 5 and 4th and 1 (or 2, can't remember) and he gets the first down.

There’s been some good discussion on this forum about Josh and his run game. Here’s an article that talks about it. Enjoy and discuss. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2021/12/bills-josh-allen-says-running-a-luxury-but-i-want-to-throw-the-ball.html

One and done for Urban?

It’s definitely weird that we haven’t had many misdirection plays this year. We did them so well last year. I know none of us will know for sure but what are your thoughts on why we haven’t done that much this year?
