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...

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....

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...

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...

poblano Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I think most here don't get the point of the op. The main worry is McDermott in two playoff appearances an Buffalo in 25 years haven't won a game, just that, there's no doubt Buffalo is now a far better team than indi and with big possibilities to make it to the SB. For now they must win first a f*#@+ng playoff game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with Indy (though they are a good team) or McD & 2017 & 2019, as he has learned to trust his Offense and that Offense wins football games. Just been a long 25 years..... Oh and prior to McD we had the Flutie fumble at the 5 with :20 seconds left vs. Miami followed by the QB Fiasco vs. Tennessee (Rob Johnson was pathetic that day) and "Homerun Throwback".

Indy has one of the leagues best defenses They are almost a replica in terms of stats and what they are going to try and do to the 49ers D. Very tough against the run, pass D is meh. We know how that went. Not a good matchup for the Colts. Bills are disinterested in running normally and this will only make them less interested. Their only hope is that Buckner can ruin the offensive gameplan for the whole game like Heyward did for most of the first half when we played Pittsburgh or that Donald did for most of the 2nd half when we played the Rams. I don't see that happening. He is a great player but the Bills will have a gameplan for him I am sure if they have issues one on one. Colts may slow them down for a few series but when we figure things out and Allen kicks it into gear it's a gear that not many other teams have. Defenses look almost helpless once that happens.

Buffalo03 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Indy and the Dolphins were the two teams I wanted the most in the first round. The Titans and Ravens were the two teams I didn't. Jonathan Taylor is very good but not Derrick Henry good. Philip Rivers doesn't scare me at all. I would put 8 and 9 in the box the whole game to stop Taylor and make Rivers beat us. I don't think he is capable of it at this point I see no reason why this game would make Bills fans nervous 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
