Mango Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 8 hours ago, Doc said: The Colts are coming off 6 bad quarters of football and just barely beat the worst team in the league. If not for the Bills knocking the ever-loving snot out of the Dols, they would have missed the playoffs. While they should in no way be taken lightly, I think this was the best first round matchup the Bills could have asked for and I expect a win. I have been thinking about this a lot lately. After the game I was amped it would be Indy, just because they don’t do anything scary....but they do do just about everything well. as we get closer to kick off nerves go up, and right now I am not sure I want any part of any AFC playoff team at the moment.

Magox Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I think Buffalo is going to open it up and I expect to see lots of 4 - 5 Receiver sets throughout the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if they throw the ball 80% of the game. Just hammer at their weakness with all sort of looks and stay away from their strength their run defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Drawing any equivalence between Hostetler and Rivers dooms this thread to the funny pages.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine a lot of 4-5 WR sets, and the possibility of everything running through Josh. Something like the first Jets game or the Chargers game. If Josh has to drop 300+ and rush 10-12 times, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they did because we were stubborn enough to play right into it. Recall TT had a ton of yards and that was all we had to do. Run EVERY down He averaged 9 yards a carry and only got 15 touches. Kelly wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. If they would have kept feeding Thurman they would have had to change the D. Levy was a failure in leadership... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this point, the one team I wouldn’t be fearing as much would be the browns, but only because they are so covid-ravaged. I wanted Indy, and now am worried about them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously that only works if were sloppy with turnovers, which we havent been, and if we cant compensate with our own forced turnovers, and were 3rd in the league in takeaways. Deep breath and relax. TRUST THE PROCESS! Hmm... probably right. But 6 pages of replies don't lie... folks thinkin on this one. I do trust the process, and hey, as predicted, the wins are now just plain happening because of it. But each game is new, the situation is fresh , the players are different. Who knows what the final score will be from game to game. In any event, go Bills! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Great equalizers in the playoffs are good offensive lines, vet QBs and solid defensive coaching. Better be ready for a battle tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to be tougher to beat with the McFrazier type of secondary that offers up some confusing looks and mixed messaging But Bills need to pressure Phil with the 4 man, and this Colts Line is pretty good in both Run blocking ! and pass pro.

Colts fans see our run D as a huge flaw. While not perfect it’s improved significantly. Like Henry Bills can focus and limit run game. Colts are 2nd best team for scoring on opening drive. If we can manage their run game and eliminate points on opening drive we should be good. Bills early jitters could make it close at half. But agree control Taylor force 3rd and long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsBytheBay Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Taylor was good but come on people... he put up 150 on Vegas... and 250 in week 17 against a jags team that mailed it in. I expect them to have a couple of splash plays, but the Colts haven't controlled anything with the run at all this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpsredemption Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Not sure this is the team we should have wanted to face most. As time goes on the more I realize this is terrifying and the Colts could steal this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) 15 hours ago, ProcessTruster said: Ok, I know we (and I) are all pumped to wipe these guys out tomorrow, but since Indy -- has perhaps the best Oline Bills have seen in a while (just as the Giants did in SB 25), -- a limited QB (just as the Giants did with Hostetler) -- has solid , big, ground and pound productive RBs (just like NYG with Ottis Anderson) -- a playcaller who was there on the sidelines for SB25 Won't Reich just play ugly ball, run the ball 40+ times behind that O line, throw short quick passes (they do this anyway) and thereby limit the Bills to 8 or 9 possessions in the game, just as Parcells did in SB 25? Bills play 90%+ 5 dbs and a fairly lightweight front 6 , discouraging the pass (successfully) and demanding that the opposition run the ball? I mean you can't score if you don't have the ball-- this is what happened in SB25. Game ended up being way closer than it should have been, as the Giants had the ball for 2/3 of the game. In the absence of Star, Quinton Nelson will absolutely maul any of the Bills D lineman. Sorry, I guess I am too old and remember how the Giants kept that game so close. For sure, if Bruce just gets Hostetler to drop that ball in the end zone the game tide shifts, but in the absence of turnovers and ST magic, I can see the Colts making this game slow, ugly and close. What say you? The comparisons of the what the Giants did and what the Colts potentially have the tools to do to slow down a high flying offensive team seem a little too tight for comfort. Go Bills! 8 or 9 possession is still 56 - 63 points. 😉 Even if they run the ball effectively, they still have to stop the Bills offense. The Bills punt 2.6 times per game.
