RunTheBall Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 That is a loose, focused team in my opinion. I really have zero concern they’ve been reading all the press clippings. I think the sting of last years playoff loss is probably front and center and even if it wasn’t, McD will have them laser sighted on the Colts and only the Colts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how you know this offense is unstoppable when our 4th and 5th WR are heavily in the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if that makes a ton of sense considering they will need him in coverage ... thoughts? This right here is the Colt's problem. The Bill's offense is pretty dang complete. While our running game can be better, it is good enough to make a D respect it. To use a resource as a spy on Allen is only going to weaken a different aspect of their defense that the Bills can exploit. Daboll and Josh are going to have to see it and be able to adjust to it soon enough in the game. Both have shown me they can the second half of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is too complete a passer to spy with a linebacker. They need their D-Line to step up in a big way and close and keep Allen contained in the pocket while throwing everything at shutting things down downfield IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was as close as he's ever been to a 1000 yard season which is a huge milestone for a receiver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffalo Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I'd like to see Daboll call a hook & lateral. McKenzie in motion, quick 7 yard pass to Diggs, flip it to Isaiah and he's off and running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This results in the Colts working out how best to deal with McKenzie in the slot only to look up and see Beasley lining up in the slot. Of course that means McKenzie goes back to being the trickster with DaBold dialing something interesting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time an opponent is missing a contributing cornerback -- particularly one talented enough to have been taken at 34th overall -- I consider it a boon to the already potent passing game of our Bills.

Nextmanup Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 It occurred to me last night that this is probably the most anticipated Bills game (of any type) since our last Super Bowl. I think we have a solid shot to appear in, or win, the SB this year, and I can't wait to get this playoff campaign started. Who else is anticipating this game as highly? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it goes against what McD would prefer to do but that shows the guy is adaptable. With this QB and this offense. Keep your foot on the gas. I also believe the defensive philosophy changed a bit as the year went on and the offense was clearly becoming a top unit. They got more aggressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
