BillsFan619 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) The Pats/Colts game has massive implications for our playoff run. While I get it, it was interesting to hear on the forum this week how many fans are rooting for the Colts to lose. So, I thought I’d make a poll to get a pulse of the fan base. I’m rooting for the Colts to win because I believe the division is still in play. The Bills have a great chance of beating the Pats and running the table. Place your vote and then discuss. Go Bills!

Not that I agree with them but I’ve heard people on the forum say that it may be better for the Colts to lose because it opens up more playoff possibilities for us and they don’t feel we can beat the Pats.

So, I wanted to see how many actually think that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I'm rooting for the Colts cuz I too think the division is still very much in play. But if the Colts lose, it could help us in wild card. A win win. Go Colts !! 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't get what they are thinking with that....1st of all, a Bills fan never roots for Pats to win, no matter the situation.....2nd the division is still very much open. Long as Bills tske care of business as expected against Panthers, the next week we get Pats without 50 mph winds. And you know all the Bills are watering at the mouth for that rematch... Any Bills fan rooting for Pats to win not just at this point with division up for grabs, but any point at all...ever in life, is mind boggling 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Hix Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I want the Bills to make the playoffs and I think (not sure, though) that the Colts losing improves the Bills’ chances more, so that’s what I voted for. Just get into the playoffs and anything is possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Putting my hatred for the Patriots aside I'm trying to figure what benefit would become the Bills by them winning over the Colts. None that I can think of. If the Bills play either of them in the playoffs I'd prefer my chances in a controlled environment like Lucas field than inclement weather at Gillette. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam727 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 When I was using the ESPN playoff machine, if the Bills finish 3-1, after putting in all my best guesses on the other games, if NE won this game the Bills got in, if I put the colts as the winner, the Bills didn't. I'm not sure who I'm rooting for, I think I probably won't watch the game. If the O-line didn't look like dog crap and Tre White weren't out for the year, I'd be rooting for the Colts, but as it stands, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills drop one more somewhere before the year is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see where you think this makes sense...what is it that you're coming up with that makes you think Pats win is what makes the most sense to you? I honestly don't understand...I mean Pats lose then play Bills following week and winner is in 1st place in division. 5 minutes ago, Adam727 said: When I was using the ESPN playoff machine, if the Bills finish 3-1, after putting in all my best guesses on the other games, if NE won this game the Bills got in, if I put the colts as the winner, the Bills didn't.

So you want the 6th seed instead of the division? That's what it seems like reading this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan714 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) For sure rooting for the Colts. With what we did against the Goat and Tampa, no reason we cant beat the Pats in Foxboro.

GunnerBill Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Pats. Get rid of as many wild card contenders as poss. This Bills team while flawed is the kind of talented group where you just gotta get in the dance and then on their day if they play their best game they can beat anyone. If you offered me in as the #7 seed and at Tennessee in the wildcard now I'd snap your hand off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I’ve read the scenarios, but that screams we accepting the Pats are better than us and can’t beat them. I disagree with that supposition. 40 mph gusts was more detrimental to us. Everyone knows our strength is the pass and weakness is the run. Everyone also knows the Pats strength is the run and that massive O Line, and weakness is the pass. Foxborough is not known for the heavy winds in the Southtowns of OP. When that inexperienced rookie faces our #1 defense, and we go with safety blitzes from different angles, we will stress his skills. So my bottom line is I want to see the Colts and JT run for 200 yards tonight. My girl doesn’t know I moved our dinner reservation for a holiday dinner from 7 to 6 so we can get back for the game, or at least the 2nd half. I do think Mitch should play tomorrow as we don’t need a little problem with Josh’s foot to become a bigger problem. I’d love it if we get a surprise tomorrow and Josh stays on the sidelines and was just a fake out to Rhuke and company. Mitch can win this game. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
