Giving up back to back 2 minute TD drives to the Colts offense is inexcusable. The 3rd down D today was atrocious as well. We didn’t flush one of the least mobile QBs from the pocket once the entire game. The colts had 10 points at the half. We had a goal line stand in which they didn’t score. They ended up with 24 points, tied for their least points scored in their last 12 games. The colt offense is good. Taylor averaged 3.7 ypc, his lowest in 7 games. He averaged 5ypc on the season. Frazier tried to take away their biggest threat in Taylor, and was fairly successful. That allowed them to get their TEs involved. Hines made some nice runs after we had missed some tackles. Maybe Frazier should’ve made the tackles for them. the colts played a good game minus a couple mistakes by Reich. Give them credit, not dump on Frazier 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFBillsfan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Thankfully the D rose up that last possession because they were atrocious in the 4th quarter. Up 14 in the 4th and let them right back in it with easy scoring drives. Very happy that we won, but our overall game plan on D and O were piss poor today.

Simon Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Just now, Weatherman said: I think we have the highest paid DL in the league. To say they’re not NFL caliber makes no sense. Don't care about salaries or draft position. Jefferson, Zimmer, Phillips and Butler have been playing like fringe NFL players at best. Addison is invisible, Epenesa is wet behind the ears and even Hughes has reached the point where he's saving himself for late in the game. It's a huge problem on the interior, although less so at End. I just think it's soooo hard to play good defense when your Front 7 is overmatched every single week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) That's awesome! My question is where was this great play calling the rest of the game. D got absolutely gashed, owned and embarrassed. They should be signing over their playoff checks to one: Joshua Patrick Allen..

RiotAct Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Yep, agree @Simon The “fumble that wasn’t” notwithstanding, we did a good job of keeping then in-bounds that drive, and the clock running. Plus, that hail mary defense! Mmm, mmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan130 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 True, but did not like his game plan at all. No negative things the Bills created today. -No sacks -No turnovers -No 3 and outs I expect better From him and MCD with this defence going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 It was a poor performance by the D overall. I am not sure if Frazier can be faulted for missed coverages and sloppy amateur tackling or for a complete failure at Pass rush. I will say that Frazier and McD need to come up with some quicker and better adjustments when the pass rush is that bad. Rivers had all day to throw and considering how old he is, looked about 10 years younger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Round Bust Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 colts had a solid game plan, they won 11 games regular season with a statue for a qb, they pushed the gut run game and then attacked the edge well thanks to a good OL The OL marginalized our pass rush as well Their TEs have size as well as Pittman, those2 young RBs are going to be good for awhile I would like the Bills to add a big TE with plus size like the Colts have, In the end they beat themselves by not making an easy FG and going for it on 4th down and getting nothing. those easy 6 points cost them a playoff road win against the #2 seed.

The d hasn’t taken a HUGE step in the wrong direction. The colts are a formidable opponent. The refs are allowing the OLs to hold and block in the back on a regular basis this year. We faced a great OL, HoF QB and stud Rb. They scored 24. Not sure what you were expecting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
