Playoff Game Postgame Thread


Recommended Posts

One thing to note: the refs did screw the colts at the end. After the Colts receiver got out of bounds with 19 seconds, they stopped the clock. They line up while the clock is stopped, and then five seconds before rivers snapped it, they started it! The bills called TO, and it was set to 14 seconds instead of 19 (which was the correct amount of time left). But still, it should never have come to that because FUMBLE.

I think our team comes out better for this.  Winning a close game against a HOF QB (likely) and top D will give their confidence a boost but remind them "any given Sunday."   Josh also knows he almost blew it with that fumble.  Take the sack and hang onto the ball.  We likely lost Moss so do we see Yeldon or Williams next week?

Not going to be negative. Don’t care how it looked. 
 

Great win. Survive and advance 

 

 

 

I had my eyes closed for that final Colts drive but I'm so glad we won. 

 

It laid to rest the stuff about Allen being a choker (imagine if they lost after that fumble?), and ended the drought for a playoff win and also allows me to enjoy the rest of the games this weekend without feeling like I want to slash my wrists

Cowher just reported that Bass-o-Matic's 54 yarder was the longest FG by a rookie in the playoffs.

You probably heard him comment on Josh carrying the team on his shoulders---no pass rush, no run game, bad run D.....he's right on all counts.

Yeah, I was confused by that.

The Colts offensive line is the real deal. I can't place a lot of blame on the D line.

And their D line was real.  It was actually amazing how Josh worked under that pressure.  He made one bad mistaake.  It was a 1st down.  He could have taken the sack and the 10 yard loss and live to fight another day.  He will learn

Inexcusable performance by the defense in the 4th quarter.

 

That being said, they stepped at the end of the game.

 

Josh Allen took awhile to settle down, but when he was on, he was ON!

 

Why were there so many designed run plays for Allen? Let's not do that so much anymore. 

 

When Allen got into a rhythm he was on fire. Keep passing!!!

 

Great clutch field goal by Bass.

The MIRACLE in Buffalo.

 

The Bills Defense gave up 163 yards rushing and 309 yards passing.  The Colts won the time of possession by nearly 10 minutes. The Bills WON.  That is unheard of in the playoffs. Our Defense in not good.  It has not been all year.  They are likely an edge rusher and a run stopper away from winning a Super Bowl, but the season is now a success.  Who knows, maybe the offense can carry the team to 3 more wins.

 

Go Bills.

 

Rivers had time all game.  Bills inability to stop the run OR rush the quarterback don't bode well for them.

The Bills D line is not good.  I place all the blame on our D line. I have never seen a team get less pressure on a quarterback in my life.

I agree.  Reich was the difference.  He should have took the FG before the half.  Completely different game then.  

And people forget these Colts beat the titans and packers. When they play elite they beat the best. And they played elite today with a few bad decisions.
