MAJBobby Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) We played the Colts game. We let them set the pace. With the 1M pound gorilla (no playoff win in 25 years). probably one of the worst game plans I seen on Defense and Offense. a Blown call by Refs and Bills win by 3. rip those decades of scar tissue off and be ready for a loose team next week.

Mostly my feeling was “god I hate the playoffs” It's always damn hard to "enjoy" a game that is tight and comes down to the last play. They're nerve-wracking as hell - but now that I'm calming down it's GREAT that they got the win and avoided coming up on the short end of the stick. We live to fight another day! I do hope we can win the next one without so much stress though... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONLY blame in the loss would have gone to our defense. of course without JA we get crushed...But inspite of that fact he pull a colossal mistake with the 20 yard loss and almost fumble when we had a 1st down at the 33 and could have run the clock waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down. criticizing JA doesnt mean he isnt the franchise here.

Marvlevydraftdaygenius Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 That final call on the timeout saved the game for the Bills after that bogus not a fumble call. Sean's was brilliant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd be accurate to call them a good team with a great coach. Those two calls could easily have resulted in touchdowns. I liked his aggressiveness. He's absolutely as good as McDermott. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Williams Available Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 22 minutes ago, Muppy said: I want to know if those QB runs were Josh or daboll calls...and I give credit where its due to Indy...but dang I wont live if tghey continue to play in this fashion Even if Josh called some, Daboll should have been in his ear all game telling him otherwise. So I’m guessing it was mostly game plan as it never stopped. That BS, where the running and passing game run through Josh, eventually yields hero ball, which is what we saw today. I don’t blame the kid for trying him damndest when the coaches put that pressure on him with their dumb game plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 31 minutes ago, Bangarang said: Our offense had a different feel to it today and it felt like Daboll got away from what has worked all year. Too many QB draws. Where was McKenzie and all the usual pre-snap motion? I hope we just go back to what we’ve been doing. I’m fully prepared to live and die with Josh’s arm. Absolutely great call on McKenzie. He didnt touch he ball today that I remember. And where was John Brown as well? He disappeared today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appoo Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 6 minutes ago, 4BillsintheBurgh said: It'd be nice, I have always said a playoff caliber team gives you the latitude to draft a te in the first Bills need a 2nd corner. Unlikely they’ll get torched that badly by the TE again but Pittman did a number on them and I think a 2nd corner helps there. Think that’s the obvious and easy call unless an EDGE slips that you had high on the board. colts oline really handled the bills dline, though that’s likely the best oline in these playoffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta try to make a play there... My guess is they were looking for quick outs along the side line to get in FG range. They werent there so he threw away to conserve clock and try again.

Georgia Bill Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 6 minutes ago, finn said: And what happened to going long on third and short? At least twice they ran it and got stuffed. That's not Bills football. Daboll seemed to take the day off, at least on those calls. Any playoff team ought to be able to get a first down on third and short by running the football. I can't blame them for trying it, it's the poor success rate that was concerning. We had some 2nd and one or two that I thought would have been great downs for throws, but we ran and got stuffed on a couple of those too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 10 minutes ago, Sandhill Mike said: Frank Reich is a great coach and gets his team ready to play. It was just the fist fight I expected and I really thought the Colts were going to pull it out after the non-fumble call. Their team is very solid and they'll win that division next year. Gut-wrenching game... but our guys did it!! I was 25 the last time we won a playoff game... this will feel good when my nerves settle down. Yes, there is a reason his teammates were pushing for him to be hired (when Rex got the job instead), he's a damn good coach. As the announcers stated, Indy is top 10 in all 3 phases of the game. The Bills got lucky today, and you need that sometimes. The missed short FG and the Pittman pass just off his finger tips. Whew! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that was the only way for the Bills to win. that’s why you don’t put much blame on him for the fumble.
