Billsfan1972 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Not Indy per se (though they are a good team).  Just want to get "off the schneid"....  Happy it is Saturday @ 1:00 (though Sunday 1:00 would have been ideal).   Want an easy win and then will have the confidence going forward.  While the Bills are not the 2019 Ravens, there is something about that first game that has me nervous (that and 25 years😉) Edited January 6, 2021 by Billsfan1972 13 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) To paraphrase Bobcat Goldwait (spelling) I’m more worried about being carried away by army ants than I am about losing to Indy.  ...still have to play hard, though.

billsfan1959 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 It's the playoffs and it is a pretty strong field in the AFC from top to bottom. I don't think there are any "easy wins." I believe they will be prepared, and if they play at the level they have been playing over the last five weeks or so, then they are capable of beating any team they face. But I expect the games to be tough, starting with Indy. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we look elite, but so did Balt last year. Don't get too high and play to their capabilities.   If a win and Pitt is next, the worry will be playing the same team again and that they did control the Bills offense for the first half....  Yes it's all what it is to be a Bills fan and 1995-2019.......😜  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 There's no team in the AFC field that would shock me by pulling off an upset, unlike the NFC where a couple pattycakes made it in.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have one of the best run defenses... That is it. The Bills don't really need to run the ball... Ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be more "worried" if we were playing the Ravens or Titans.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 20 minutes ago, Canadian Bills Fan said:   Not sure what you mean.  Indy has one of the leagues best defenses Not really.  They are strong against the run and have been very weak against the pass over the last half of the season.  They also give up a lot of pass plays and have no good man to man corners.  I would expect a lot of zone defense from them.   As long as we can not allow Buckner to disrupt things sort of like Cam Hayward did in the first half of the Pittsburgh we should be able to carve them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Allen comes to mind. A few times this season he has started the game amped up and missing some plays. I think a big part of his maturation this season is due to no fans and him being able to settle down more quickly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 What always worries me is the added variable of a running QB. The Colts certainly don’t have that in Old Man Rivers. We should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst in the league. We will exploit that. I am confident that our Offense will be able to out score them, even if they do put up points on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
