Punching Bag Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 2 hours ago, Buftex said: 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. I remember during playoff games in Superbowl years doing that. A Cowpokes fan sent me a high priority message with false subject in it and in it had scores during a playoff game. His boss did not find it funny since it was a violation of rules and he was suspended a week without pay. He also needed to take down all his Dallas posters, etc. since they were "contributing factors". He also was put on schedule during Superbowl and he was told he could not access unclassified phone or TV. Evidently people working that day took turns on telling him plays/scores and at end of day he was convinced there was a blowout with Cowpokes QB with injury which may cost him his leg. He was furious on day he returned got close to being suspended again. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dma0034 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Bills rested some Defensive starters and most of their Offensive Players this week and last week. Colts played a whole game. Get the Colts put of the way on Saturday and get the extra day to put towards the Steelers/Ravens/Titans 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 would have preferred Sunday for the extra day. But when we win, we get an extra day before the divisional round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 They are never in a million years giving Tom Brady a 1pm Saturday slot. More than likely they see the Bills Colts as two small markets and the likeliest for a lopsided game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheektowaga Chad Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Washington Tampa is the exact game they want in prime time If it's close its a win If it's a blow out either way the announcers can talk about Brady return/demise and or Alex Smith his story Ron Rivera his story That game keeps talking points a live all game I think the bills colts is probably the most intriguing game Saturday but it's also the game if its not close would lose viewers and announcers attention quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 "We get no respect" is the favorite whining mantra of the Bills fan. Let that crap go people!

MJS Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The Colts are an all around solid team. Good defense all around. Top 10 in passing and points per game. Frank Reich has built a fairly balanced team. But they lack star power and while they do everything well, they don't do anything great. They don't really have and game wreckers on either side of the ball. So I think Bills fans should be confident. And I know the coaches will have the team ready to rock and roll. I just hope the players (especially Allen) don't get too hyped up. I know Allen, at least, plays best when he is calm, cool, and collected. He should have Sinatra on repeat all week. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as long as the Bills don't allow the Colts to dictate the game, the Bills will be fine. I don't anticipate that being a problem, as it rarely has been this season. Force the Colts into a shoot-out, and Phillip will become the turnover machine he has been throughout his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penfield45 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Colts do not have a highly ranked run defense. I think we can run on them. I know our offense is all Allen and passing but in the playoffs how many times have we seen pass happy teams come in and get shut down? I think establishing our run game is going to be one of the keys to a deep playoff run. getting this playoff win will be massive, our last big test and hurdle.

QLBillsFan Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 It’s about market size and ratings. While the Bills are becoming must watch TV by anyone who like exciting football, the Colts are not a jazzy opponent. This is not a knock on them as a football team. 2 small markets 2-7 match up. I like the 1 pm start and glad it’s in OP. Colts are a good balanced team Bills will have to play way. I I suspect they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dma0034 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Reading the Colts message board they think their secondary is weak and that Allen will crush them. They also say if Taylor is having a good game that Frank may get pass happy (I remember when the Bills fans were like this). I think it's simple next week. Contain Taylor and make Rivers throw it; which I don't think he can do well any longer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts have one of the best run defenses in the league, and a weak pass defense. We win this game by having Allen torch their terrible secondary and forcing them to abandon the run and play catch up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
