If you're gonna take that penalty you gotta make it count.

 

I'm OK with that in the 1st qrtr. But on 3rd/long with a few minutes left in an undecided game?

How the hell does somebody that dumb get through breakfast?

Hey at least we didn't lose by 3+ scores, and give up 5td to Taylor. 

 

Yeah but you gave up 226 rushing yards and lost...coming off a bye.   To a QB with six completions, and one of them was to you.

See that's your problem. There has been many games BB has been out coached. This game just wasn't one of them.

 

 

I got an honest question for you and I am not even trying to be a jerk.

 

It is Colts vs Pats.

 

Why are you on a Bills message board? On a saturday night..

If I were a Pats fan, and I had watched Devin McCourty and Dont'a Hightower whiff on their assignments and give up a 67 yard TD to ice a game...well I'd look for distractions too.

Lol the Harry muff dosent happen, you don't score. See how that works

Dude, in a neutral game where the wind isn't a factor we have a better chance. Period. Your team ran in 40 times, what's that tell you? If we would have scrapped the run and just kept throwing like Allen was able to do and Belichick was afraid to do with noodle arm, we more than likely win that game. The bottomine is, the wind was a factor. How about the Diggs drop in the end zone?

Why the bills aren't that good, losing to Jacksonville answered that question

 

Awe don't be mad your team lost and try and take it out on us here.  There is only one thing I don't understand.  You're a Pats fan on a Bills message board while your team is playing the Colts.  Like I get you guys coming here for the week when your team plays the Bills but why come here when they are not?  Are your fans garbage that you don't want to talk to them or something?

Lol what once was a season of an easy AFC east win, now have to go for the team that blew your doors off , to have any chance at the division that was yours

 

Boy you are really mad your team lost today huh?

[Nelius]

Really didn't think Jonathan Taylor would pick up the Derrick Henry historical season baton when Henry went down but man he is good. 

 

I feel like the AFC North and South have all kind of quietly focused on rushing a bit more than the other two AFC divisions and it's starting to pay off - Taylor, Mixon, Henry (inj), Chubb (inj) - two of those guys are banged up but those are the four best backs in the league, and Najee Harris is still working on things in Pittsburgh. Come to think of it NE may already be ahead and following that same mold with Stevenson. Is this all to compete with Baltimore? Regardless Bills are going to have to make a serious play at RB to compete long-term, these AFC backs are scary.

The problem is that if they run into a team in the playoffs that can stop the run and score points... they don't have a QB that is going to win a game for them.  Wentz is garbage, Tannehill is ok but just a middling QB, Faker isn't all that good either.  Mac and Cheese still remains to be seen but I don't think he has the arm.

It’s about possessions. 
 

The Colts burned 4mins 

 

The Pats burned 3 minutes of time only to kick the field goal anyways.  Thats a possession right there.

Wow, watching the replay, HTF does Pittman get ejected?  Dugger ripped Pittman's helmet off and gave him a forearm choke while he was on the ground.  Cheaters gonna Cheat, refs gonna back up the Cheats.  Cost the Colts at least a FG.

It's OK though b.c the Colts are on Hard Knocks right now so they won't let them lose.

That's not part of McDermott's play calling schematics for the offensive side of the ball.  We are pass heavy, sprinkling trick plays here and there, along with not really having an offensive line which competes any longer at an elite level.  We can still get it done this year but the future is that we'll be investing into the running game heavily next year through the draft.  I still see them as making the Super Bowl.  Failing that just have to draft up and find a capable replacement for Hughes in the off season.

The Colts are truthfully a one dimensional team and we'll get them again for a playoff revenge and upset them.  I've got a feeling that we'll shut out running lanes, come after Wentz, and give Indy another exit.

Cause Bills now own their own destiny. Had a chance to put a nail in the coffin and they failed.

[UKBillFan]

I’d feel happier if the Pats had won but am more excited that the Colts were victorious. We are more than capable of beating the Pats at Foxboro but after the Jags debacle we have to focus on the job in hand first.

If we win today and we win next week I think the odds are heavily in our favor that the AFC-East is ours. We're back in the money baby!

And I guess those colts are pretty good eh?

The Colts are excellent. At this stage I cannot see us making the Championship game this year unless we play like we did against the Bucs in the second half across at least three of the four quarters in Foxboro (and not get routed in the weaker one) plus six or seven quarters out of eight in the Wildcard and Divisional games. We shouldn’t need to bring our A Game to beat the Panthers, Falcons or Jets but we cannot flop out of the gate either. If there were any doubts about playing Josh today due to injury - I doubt there were any - I think they would be dismissed by last night’s result.

Yeah I agree. .. it’s a shame because Taylor looks like a special player..

 

Just out of interest though… were you wanting them to trade up and get him because i must be honest… i don’t recall many ( if any) fans here advocating for that prior/ during the 2020 draft…

 

Even if he was still there at the Bills pick, I would suggest  Beane was not gunna take him …

Yes, I wanted them to trade up for him and I was on many threads advocating for him

Ball security was about it.  18 fumbles (15 lost) in 41 games

He is clearly extremely talented but even he is not going crazy like this behind our offensive line.

[RichRiderBills]

The Pats looked helmed by a rookie. He looked confused, perplexed, and lost. We can beat the Pats. We can blow out the pats.

 

The Colts are the real threat. Taylor is amazing. But Wentz is just a guy. We can beat the Colts too if we score points and not turn the ball over. 

[TheCockSportif]

Wentz is the luckiest ***** in this league to be on the team that he's on.

A colts loss would’ve helped our chances of making the playoffs more so you could’ve made a case for either team winning last night.  Indy beating NE and then NE beating us is pretty much the disaster scenario for our playoff chances so it really comes down to what happens next week anyway

Could be a one game thing for them but they looked just about the furthest thing from the dominant team the talking heads have been trying to sell us on.  Also they left the door to the division wide open since we have the division tiebreaker and we play them again. That loss was objectively huge for them 

[LabattBlue]

What a joke.  The NFL is fixing it so the Pats and the Bucs are in the SB. I am so outraged.  I need to donate money to someone to show them what team has the best fanbase. 
 

Say what?  The Pats lost? Well…then never mind.  I will save the above for next Sunday night. 

[Billsfan1972]

If the Bills can't go 4-0 down the stretch, frankly they deserve whatever comes to them.

That's not true. 

 

What is true is that for this week,  and this week only, a colts win means that a couple scenarios will make the Bills drop out of the playoff race on the chart.

 

That is quickly ended and changed later in the year when other teams play each other. A Colts win does not hurt our long term playoff chances.

 

It's not a disaster at all if we win 3 of our last 4 games. Even if Pats beat us. 

 

Besides, I'm not giving that wussy QB in NE this division.

Because the receiver caused the contact, he didn’t lead with his helmet, the receiver ran into him, he had as much right to the ball, blame your qb for a crappy thrown ball …

He lead with his helmet! Not a shoulder a helmet. It also wasn’t a crappy thrown ball it was in his belly..

There are good match ups and bad ones. The Colts will probably beat the Bills because they cant stop Taylor. 

 

I believe the Bills are better than the Pats player for player. However, their lines are better than Bills. The Bills coaching staff has to come up with a plan that maximizes their talent and limits their weaknesses. Last game, the weather hampered their strengths. I'm not confident the Bills can stop their running game. Who can be after seeing last game? If the Bills score early and often like the Colts did then their running game is limited. I'm looking forward to a similar game plan to the Tampa second half game. If so, the Bills will win. The Bills cannot let the Patriots dictate the game. If so the Pats will pound the Bills into another loss. Also, weather at Foxboro can be another negative for the Bills.

Seriously. Only thing funnier is watching how many suddenly aren’t a fan after a loss. They might be the most entitled and fickle fan base in all sports.

If the Bills play the Colts again I hope it’s either in Indy or a day with no precipitation in Buffalo. Wentz isn’t better than Rivers and I think the Bills can beat Indy.
