Week 11 Colts Week

[Chandler#81]

Struggling more than expected, they’re still in the hunt. They gave us all we could handle in the WC game and only the QB has changed. Frank Reich would love for Indy to take us down a notch and ‘frankly’ they need to, just to stay alive in the playoff race. Big game in the Conference so it’s a big win or big loss, depending on the outcome. We’ve moved up to 2nd place but they’re just a win behind us. Both teams won a Conference game Sunday, setting this game up as Must See.

9 AFC teams above .500 10 weeks into the season and another 3 at .500, absolutely insane. The NFL is definitely going to get all of the playoff seeding mania it craved when it expanded to 7 playoff teams and 17 games.

All I can say is I like the Bills coaches willing and able to make adjustments in season. Let's hope that keeps up and anything is possible. 

[CaptnCoke11]

Gotta be able to stop their running attack to win this game.  Hopefully Star can play. 

[HOUSE]

The Colts will be a desperate team, bring the A game

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Has anyone heard of a Quinton Nelson ankle injury suffered yesterday in their W v. Jax? 
 

or am I hearing this wrong

He did injure/reinjure his ankle, but no word yet on the severity.

[JMF2006]

Rather than the Bills worry about their running game Indy should be worried about the Bills passing game.

 

Josh and the boys can light them up in a hurry

 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Hope we have Star back for this game 

[Governor]

I’ve been sweating this game for months. They’ll get going at some point. Very balanced.

[Juice_32]

Jonathan Taylor scares the hell out of me. I hope we see the angry version of the Bills we saw against the Jets. Handle your business, rinse, repeat.

[Process]

They almost just lost to the JAGS! This should be a cakewalk.

[Son of a K-Gun]

Taking my son to his first Bills game this weekend, and my first trip in a while with the border finally back open...can't wait for Sunday!

[Nitro]

Indy will pound the rock to soften up the defense and then pass.  They have an effective group of WRs and TEs.   Wentz can be erratic.  Overall this is a going to be a true test for the Bills.  NY Jets were a good game to  get ready.  Should be a heck of a game. 

[atlbillsfan1975]

On paper this certainly doesn’t feel like a good matchup for the Bills. 
If the Bills prepare and are dialed in like they were for the Jets I have little doubt they can beat the Colts. The video of McDermott addressing the team in the locker room after the game yesterday made it sound like last week’s game prep was different than the Jax weeks.

Well played

[Mc1320]

Star being out because he went with the Aaron Rodgers homeopathic treatment method instead of getting vaccinated is going to hurt this week.

[TBBills]

This is where the teams that are contenders start pulling away from the rest of the pretenders.

[Greg S]

Tough game. This looks like a 24-20, 27-24 type of game. I expect it will be close all the way to the end.

[Wayne Cubed]

Sell out to stop the run. 

 

Come out of the base nickel defense and go with 3 LBs. Taylor can beat the Bills, I don't think Wentz can.

They’re much better than their record. One major thing holding them back is a lack of a powerhouse #1 wr although their crew is getting better including Pittman, and also Wentz’ incredibly untimely turnovers that he has a consistent issue with. One of my good friends is a Colts fans so I watch them a lot too.

I agree. This worked against Tenn until Henry's big run. Taylor is good but he's not Henry. 

 

Classic game of if we score TDs early instead of FGs it may force them out of their game. The longer it is a close game the more they can pound the run game.

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

Scooping the Yolo man.  
Outrageous I tell ya!!!

 

The Colts and Wentz.  
hmmmm. I hear he’s playing well 

 

maybe a Statement win at SF?

 

Cold weather guy

Get R Done Buffalo 🦬 

 

 

[eball]

Wentz is careless with the football; Rivers was a better fit for them last year.  If the Bills can play adequately against the run and get pressure, he will make mistakes.

 

This is a stern test regardless because Indy is a tough team, but Wentz' carelessness is their downfall.

[Ross Murdock]

The Colts game is a REAL barometer on where this team is as a serious SB contender. Colts have a premier RB in Taylor, and Wentz is a stud to bring down. Wentz beat up on the Bills when he played in Buffalo with the Eagles two years ago when the Bills were on a roll. Plus Reich is an excellent coach. This is a HUGE game for the Bills. Bills need to make a statement that aren't just a beater of bottom feeders. A lose and all the doubters have real ammunition that the Bills are a just a decent, but lacks the toughness to win big games. I'm already resting my throat for the game!!

The mistakes he makes are beyond head scratching. Rivers made dumb plays too but Wentz makes colossal errors at the worst times. Other than the turnovers he is playing well though. Both these teams are ball hawks. Whoever takes care of the ball best will probably take this one.

[Coach Tuesday]

This is the Colts' Super Bowl, they HAVE to win this game to stay in the hunt, plus they'll still be salty from last year's playoff loss.  Bills will need to bring their A-game for sure.  Can't sleepwalk through entire halves on offense this week.

[Rc2catch]

They match perfectly as our kryptonite. 
Big bodied receiver in Pittman who can catch everything thrown his way. 
Taylor running up the gut, Hines as the receiving back. 
Buckner manhandling the interior O line (the biggest issue in my opinion the pressure up the gut) 

Everyones favorite linebacker to compare edmunds to. 
It’s definitely gonna be to quote wrestlings Jim Ross a “slobberknocker”

i agree. North/South team that hangs its hat on owning the trenches. Dicey game.

The good news for us is that they are out gunned badly at the position that matters most QB.

 

When our guy is on a roll there is no stopping him and he looks like he is ready to get back in high gear.

[Billsfan1972]

And after Miami/Jax/NYJ this is the first game in a month against a decent opponent.  Got to be a little concerned as not much to gauge from the last month.    

[Roundybout]

This should be an awesome game. I think these teams match up really well. 

 

Taylor is probably the best RB we face for a while (even better than Kamara) and they have a stout defense still. The wild card is Wentz; will we see Good Wentz or Bad Wentz?

[PaattMaann]

Like all teams, it comes down to the QBs. If Wentz shows up and makes no mistakes itll be a field goal deciding game. If Wentz shows up and is average to bad, we will win by at least a touchdown. This is of course providing Allen continues his good play (Jags game aside). 

 

[78thealltimegreat]

  I realize the Jaguars game skewered many of this fan bases view of this team and I see many seem to think the Colts are some kind of amazing force despite their 5 losses.

 Simply put if the Bills play like their capable of this game won’t be close Colts aren’t dynamic and play a very steady methodical kinda game and rely on you making mistakes.  

[SCBills]

Finally, an exciting game to look forward to.  

 

Really interested to see if we continue the revamped offensive look of Allen under center with the return of jet sweep action, heavy PA and Breida/McKenzie involvement.

 

Also interested to see how that looks against a team with Buckner on the opposing DL.

Yep. They should have beaten the Rams, Ravens and Titans.

 

I laughed when CBS didn't have this as their highlighted game in their advertising for next week. It's their only good matchup in their early games

[ProcessAccepted]

Not exactly about the Colts game but looking at the current standings - Who do you root for in the Pats-Titans game in two weeks? I'm thinking you have to root for the Pats right if we're to have any shot at the bye week in the playoffs.

Depends on this week for me. If we win then I'll hope the Titans go down. A loss to the Colts and we need to worry more about the division with NE potentially taking the lead in a Bills lose/Pats win situation this weekend.
