If we make it to the Big Dance I’ll probably cry a little, though. Yeah, we were definitely euphoric (and relieved and then tired). I guess my wife saw him though and started getting teary eyed. When they didn’t overturn the obvious fumble, my brother started to get emotional and said that if they lose now that he was going to ball. 🤣 Edited January 10, 2021 by BillsFan619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimebillsfan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 3 hours ago, Merle said: Three things from this game worry me going forward in the playoffs: 1. Designed QB runs are back from some reason - way too many, and mostly not effective, and exposed Josh to unnecessary hits. Yes, the first one down near the goal line worked, but the second one was nearly a disaster ... that Josh turned into a "fluke" TD to Knox. 2. "Bad Josh" showed up on the play where he lost 20 yards on a sack and nearly fumbled it away when the Bills were within FG range near the end of the game. 3. Pass rush was pretty much non-existent. 4. Colts essentially left 7 points on the table (going for it on 4th down instead of FG, going for 2 instead of 1, doinked 33-yd FG) and lost by 3. On the other hand, this was exactly the type of game that the "old Bills" definitely would have lost somehow (either on that "hail Mary", or some other way). The fact that they won "in spite of themselves" against a Colts team that was much better than anyone thought is a positive. Go Bills! Isn't that 4 points? Which one are you not worried about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo, no surprise we got boned at the end. Fortunately, it was Joan Rivers, not Rodgers or the GOAT! Rivers has never won a big game in his life! Yet - he was 5-0 in wild card games. This was a game he typically wins. Kudos to the Bill for finding a way to win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 4 hours ago, Scott7975 said: He's not a very good #2? Are you serious? Nah you cant be. He's been a #3 for most of his career for a reason. He has a history of dropping the ball in critical situations. He looks better than he really is because Josh Allen elevates the players around him. I know it's not a popular take but I've been saying this since last year when people on here were seriously trying to argue he is a #1 WR. He is really just a decent route runner with above average speed and average hands. We needed him to make a play in Houston last year and he couldn't do it.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Baldy's Breakdowns on some of Josh Allen's plays I understand they were all taking a very Colts-centric view of the loss but I wish someone had asked Reich if they still felt facing Watson prepared them for playing Josh Allen. Again, I think Watson is a very very very good QB, and I understand that from a 10,000 ft view they have similar numbers, I just think that they play differently (without being able to articulate why).

I edited my post in that there's been no consistency with the 1 seeds playing on Saturday or Sunday. Obviously, they pick which games they try and pair what games they think will be most interesting in the most popular projected viewing slots. I think whoever our opponent is will be more interesting than the Packers/Rams game but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. But that confirms what we saw yesterday. It seemed like their TEs were running free on every play. It was not a good game for our Linebackers. .... I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but there are two other teams we could play that have outstanding TE play, Baltimore and KC. .... Regardless, somehow we need to fix it to make this aspect of our Defense at least respectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Guy Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 10 hours ago, wjag said: A baker's dozen thoughts on the game: 1. Josh Allen 5-6 in 20+ air yards. That stripe to Diggs was b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l 2. Give Colts their due, they brought that clock to -1 on nearly every play. Masterfully done. 3. I won't lie, I gasped when that hail Rivers was thrown. It seemed to me there was white behind blue in the endzone. 4. I understand why Reich eschewed the field goal, I just don't think it was the right call in the game. 5. The 96-yard drive afterwards changed the game and the momentum. Gabe Davis with two incredible catches on that drive. 6. The field position battle was brutal all through the first half. 7. The Colts TEs came to play. They made a bunch of great snags, especially on third down. 8. Letting the Colts drive twice in the fourth was nuts. They made it seem so easy. 9. Beasley was an absolute warrior out there today. He made some very tough catches on one leg. 10. Allen's first TD pass, or rather shot put throw, was very fortunate to not have been called back for lineman downfield. I will need to watch it again. 11. Bass with a 54 yarder has erased any second guessing about him and his ability. That would have been good from 60. 12. The last two minutes of that game may have been the most stressed I have been in a long time. 13. The monkey is off of Josh's back and is now squarely on Lamar's. Go Titans. Go Steelers.
