Are you from the future K9 or am I just really drunk lol? 21-18 = 03

The 18th anniversary of the comeback game was in 2011. Not sure what you’re referring to with 21-18. But I’d be interested to know.

One of our biggest challenges for this game (and every game we play from here on out) will be going in healthy.  The same can be said for every team though.  Unfortunately, a COVID case to the wrong guy can end your season in a hurry.  Have to stay healthy and, if we do, I do like our chances to move on for sure.

I am hoping for a Sunday game...or the late game on Saturday.  If it is one of the early games on Saturday, it will be a day of avoiding scores while I am at work  It's doable, but adds some stress to the day.

 

If its the early game on Saturday I'm leaving work an hour before kickoff... otherwise I'll be good with it either day.  Just leave work behind...

This is basically the most ideal situation for the Bills. The only thing that would have been better was playing the Dolphins again in the wild card. Getting the Colts than the Steelers is about as easy a road as you can get this year. The only thing that can ruin that is if the Browns upset the Steelers then we will host the Titans or Ravens in the divisional round. I'm excited, cause I think Tennessee and Baltimore are probably the two best teams to stick with the Chiefs because of their run first type grind it out offenses.

We're not taking anyone lightly. Including Green Bay.

10/21/2018 Bills and McDermott lost to Indianapolis 37-5.   I believe that was the game after Josh was injured at Houston.

Put that score on the bulletin board this week Sean!   That was the last game the Bills have played vs Indy.

No... the post i was quoting had a tweet that said on the 18th anniversary of the comeback Frank Reich is coming back to Buffalo. Or something like that lol. I was just saying its 28 years ago. Not 18. Maybe I misread it. Not important.

Rivers is toast. I like our chances of blowing them out.

I live in Indianapolis now, so have "had to" watch nearly all of their games this year.   Rivers is definitely at or near the end of his career, and his arm won't scare anybody.   BUT ... he is smart, knows where to go with the football, and their O-line does an excellent job protecting him.   Of biggest concern is the Colts' running game, with Taylor and Hines.   That sets up everything they do on offense.   The Bills will need to "sell out" to stop the run, and take their chances with Rivers' passing.   If they can jump out to a quick lead, and force Indy to rely on Phillips' arm, they should be fine.   On the other side of the ball, their defense is stout against the run, but their secondary has been "shaky" at times, especially against teams with 2 or more good receivers.  LB Darius Leonard, the "heart and soul" of their D, left the game today with some sort of injury.   Haven't heard any sort of injury report on him yet.

The screen game is what I’m worried about.  Taylor can take it to the house.  Reich will have his team schemed up and ready.

We swept the current AFC East.

 

Lets add in the Colts and make it an old time sweep.

Sounds good, but we'll have to score in the 50's again & hold them down so when you divide the score by 2, it makes up for not playing 2 games like normal division contests.

Really curious is Antonio Williams gets to suit up for this game. Seems like he earned it, but not sure who gets pulled. 

Didn't really get to see him need to do much in pass protection today.   Wonder what that part of his game is like at this point?   He sure has "fresh legs", and was a determined runner today.   Looked like the reincarnation of Marshawn!

No idea. He didn’t seem to lose yardage, which seems to happen a lot with our other two guys, but a game like this is hard to take any concrete thoughts from.

Unlikely. I’m sure we’ll go with our usual 3 RBs.

 

I think Williams’ performance today earned him a spot for training camp but that’s about it.

If we can score at will, which we have for several weeks in a row against much better passing defenses, their run game becomes an advantage to us.

That Titans game was insane.

 

I strongly prefer the colts over the Titans 

The 2 teams are nothing close to one another as far as quality of opponent goes.

 

Indy looks like a "just happy to be there" first round loser kind of team.


Tennessee scares the crap out of me.

 

It is FANTASTIC that Ravens or Titans will have to lose next week.

Great post.

 

Tennessee definitely has flaws, but that’s a team I still don’t want to play as their offence can score at will.
