Seasons1992 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I listened to "Guess the Lines" this morning (The Ringer, Bill Simmons and Cousin Sal) and Bill specifically talked about how the Colts are this weekend's "nobody believed in us!" team........ I don't see it, but weird things happen, and let's get it done one week at a time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I live just outside Indy. Having a lot of fun with my Colts friends. The overall impression I'm getting is they think the Colts will run the ball down our throats, and that their defense can stop Allen and the boys. As to the former point, I tell them I am a little worried about their run game but that our D has played much better the last half of the year, and that we'll force them to beat us with Rivers, who will gag like he usually does in the playoffs. As to them saying they can slow down Allen et al, I just laugh. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I feel like at this time of year, we are all homers at heart. Many on here are predicting total blowout wins-- that could happen, but that is probably wishful thinking. Every team is good now (there are no "frauds" that snuck in); I don't think any of these playoff teams are just going to roll over and get totally blown out. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Pro_Bills Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 For the Colts to win on Sunday they'll need to play better than they did against the Jags. Surprisingly, for a team faced with a win and in scenario they struggled to the end to beat that team playing for nothing to finish out the season.

billsfan1959 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The AFC playoffs have teams, from top to bottom, that are capable of winning any game they play. The Colts are a good team. I think the Bills are a better overall team; however, they are going to have to continue to play at the level they have been playing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I've looked at quite a few forums of opposing teams this season and I have to say the Colts seem like the best bunch I've seen so far. They don't seem to talk nearly as much smack as others and generally have decent conversation about the game. Chiefs on the other hand? What a bunch of *****. So funny if anyone mentions any other QB as being good, they're straight in with the Mahomes talk. In fact it could be any subject. "That new Netflix show is great" "***** you, it's nothing compared to Pat" 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colts are a good team. I think the Bills are a better overall team; however, they are going to have to continue to play at the level they have been playing. Exactly. Considering that 11 wins was the minimum buy-in for the AFC Playoffs, I think we as Bills fans, while should be feeling downright giddy about what we are witnessing, should be more humble right now because this conference is loaded and we can win it or sadly be out Saturday. Baltimore last year should teach all of us that lesson, remember how that team was rolling into the AFC Playoffs? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochesterLifer Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 My favorite was, "Take away the long ball. Make them go 14,15,16 plays to score." They'll be surprised as we've been doing that all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Personally, I think a fair number of Bills fans are taking this game too lightly. This is a tough opponent. There wasn't really an "easy" draw in the AFC this year, but the Colts are as good as anyone not named KC, imo. They have almost as complete a team as we do. Their defense is better than ours, as is their running game, and they have a QB who can sling it, even though age is catching up with him. They DID beat Green Bay, and had other quality wins, including one against the Titans, also. I think the Bills win, but they will be a tough out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indianapolis isn’t really a football town. I spent a significant amount of time there during the Peyton Manning era, and the Colts’ fans are nice and interested, but their true passion is basketball. As a result, I think that’s why most people find their fans to be nice, reasonable, and friendly people. I think they enjoy their football as entertainment. If they lose this Saturday though, no one is going to be losing any sleep in Indy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think itll be a tough game but their defense has struggled down the stretch. I dont think its accurate to say they have a better defense than us if you look at how both teams are playing lately. But running game is better than ours. That said, with how we have been scoring lately a running attack likely doesn beat us alone. Their secondary will need to REALLY step up and that has been a weak point for them lately.

IDK where this perception comes from that he's hucking bombs all over the place. Josh does his best work in the intermediate lengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I don’t understand the point of threads like these. You can browse every teams forums and cherry pick some ridiculous opinions. Let’s not pretend like we are immune to hilariously bad takes either. The Colts won 11 games and beat good teams during the regular season. I certainly think we’ll win the game but I’m not going to bash anyone from the Colts for being optimistic as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I don't know, man... I see a lot of healthy respect for the Bills in that thread, including many "Bills will blow us out" posts. To look at that thread overall and perceive optimism or confidence on their part is to be fishing for motivation and disrespect in a less-than-well-stocked pond, in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagne591 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I think it is funny when the colts fans think they are going to win with a score of 19-13. The Bills have only scored 13 points or less this year (never) although they have scored under 13 points 5 times this year in the first half and ended averaging 20.2 PPG winning 3 out of 5. The two games we lost were the Titans and Chiefs which is the point in our season when our routine was disrupted. In those five games the offense still averaged 334.2 YPG; in the other 11 games the offense averaged 424.7 YPG and 36.3 PPG. The colts averaged 28.2 PPG for the season. Through the fist 8 games of the season the Bills averaged 24.75 PPG and the Colts averaged 26 PPG. Through the final 8 games the Bills averaged 37.8 PPG and the Colts averaged 30.4 PPG. The Colts have been pretty consistent all year while the Bills hit a mid season slump (weeks 5-8 were 4 of the five games the Bills did not score more then 13 points before the half) then turned it on big time. I feel this team, if it stays on schedule is unbeatable. My final score prediction is Colts 26 scoring a late meaningless TD like teams have been doing the last 5 weeks (i.e. SF,PITT, MIA, DEN, and the PATS couldn't score period) and the Bills will have this game won with 10 minutes left in the 4th Quarter putting up 37.
