thebandit27 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Oh, that game. I and three friends killed a beer ball (an actual sphere of suds, not our resident moderator) in the parking lot beforehand. The birth of the hurry-up K-Gun. That game should've been 34-10...both Beebe and McKeller dropped easy TD passes in the first half that ended up being FGs. I also remember Biscuit laying out Jeff George.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Wednesday's injury report Click here to find out the latest injury information for the Bills heading into this week's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Chuck Pagano provides Colts's Injury Updates: http://www.scout.com/nfl/colts/story/1584747-colts-depth-chart-lists-two-rookie-starters Tyrod Taylor: "I Lead By Action" (8:19) The Bills quarterback talks about if he'll be nervous on Sunday, getting his timing down with players who've missed practice, what he thinks of the Colts defense, and what he learned from Joe Flacco. @pwilson24 #Colts head coach Chuck Pagano says CB Greg Toler is still "week-to-week" with neck injury. That suggests CB Darius Butler starts Sunday. @TyDunne New at the BN Blog: #Colts QB Andrew Luck on facing the blitz ... "We try to relish it and welcome it" http://bills.buffalonews.com/2015/09/09/andrew-luck-on-facing-the-blitz-we-try-to-relish-it-and-welcome-it/ @pwilson24 OLB Robert Mathis looked good in practice Wed., per #Colts coach Chuck Pagano. I expect No. 98 to be situational pass rusher at Buffalo. @ChrisBrownBills DE Mathis the question mark for Colts http://wp.me/plmrg-bCi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 @BuffaloBillsPR #400Club: The @buffalobills next victory will mark the club's 400th all-time win (regular season + postseason). Ok, that wasn't very promising at 7.4 wins per season even if the first 18 years (1978 was the first 16 game season for the younger fans) were 14 game seasons. We did have excellent years in the mid 60's, very early 80's, and the historic 88-99. Let's get back to that trend and move that number up to 500 much faster.

Forward Progress Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) When I look at Indy's schedule from last year, they benefitted from a pretty easy schedule (thanks to playing in a weak division). Other than a win over Baltimore in October, I don't see a win over a high quality team. Okay, I will count a 27-0 drubbing of the Bengals as a quality win too. Our biggest win was a 21-13 W over Green Bay, so we know we can play with the big boys (who don't break the rules). Week Date Opponent Result Record Game site Common Opponents 1 September 7 at Denver Broncos L 24–31 0–1 Sports Authority Field at Mile High 2 September 15 Philadelphia Eagles L 27–30 0–2 Lucas Oil Stadium 3 September 21 at Jacksonville Jaguars W 44–17 1–2 EverBank Field 4 September 28 Tennessee Titans W 41–17 2–2 Lucas Oil Stadium 5 October 5 Baltimore Ravens W 20–13 3–2 Lucas Oil Stadium 6 October 9 at Houston Texans W 33–28 4–2 NRG Stadium 7 October 19 Cincinnati Bengals W 27–0 5–2 Lucas Oil Stadium 8 October 26 at Pittsburgh Steelers L 34–51 5–3 Heinz Field 9 November 3 at New York Giants W 40–24 6–3 MetLife Stadium 10 Bye 11 November 16 New England Patriots L 20–42 6–4 Lucas Oil Stadium 12 November 23 Jacksonville Jaguars W 23–3 7–4 Lucas Oil Stadium 13 November 30 Washington Redskins W 49–27 8–4 Lucas Oil Stadium 14 December 7 at Cleveland Browns W 25–24 9–4 FirstEnergy Stadium 15 December 14 Houston Texans W 17–10 10–4 Lucas Oil Stadium 16 December 21 at Dallas Cowboys L 7–42 10–5 AT&T Stadium 17 December 28 at Tennessee Titans W 27–10 11–5 LP Field When I look at common opponents of Indy and Buffalo, the teams were more even last year than our records would suggest... We each lost to the Broncos by a touchdown We lost to the Pats** by 15 (ignoring our week 17 win over Garropollo), the Colts lost by 22 We beat the Browns by 16, the Colt squeaked by with a 1-pt victory They beat the Texans twice by 5 and 7 points. We lost by 6 points and we (the fans) were punished, being force to watch J.J. Watt's pick-6 over and over on the highlights. Is Indy still a tough opponent? Yes. Are they out of our league? No way. Some of the other posters have pointed out that our running game should take advantage of their poor run defence and our D-Line should control the line of scrimmage while Luck may have fun exploiting our rookie CB. I like our chances with a new (and is it premature to say improved) offence lead by Roman that the Colts have no film on with our personnel. I expect we will run the clock with a steady run game to minimize the number of drives that Luck has to play with. Our defence won't shut down the high flying Colts offence, but I trust Rex to build a game plan to cause plenty of disruption for Luck. My prediction... Bills 23 Colts 21 Go Bills!!
