I'll be delighted to see it. That would be huge. But even though I know Rapoport and Pelissero are reliable, I remain skeptical.

I mean, you or I could probably walk pretty well onto the airplane and travel with the team, What's Your Point here?

You have some great points in your full post. I can't disagree that the Bills have prioritized DL. I don't think it's supportable to say "above all else in every single year Beane has been here". I think the use of a 1st round pick to trade for Diggs, when it was clear we had a good 1-2 punch in Brown and Beasley already on the roster, argued a commitment to a quality WR corps. I mean, if Beane prioritized DL above all else, why not skip the Diggs trade and try to chase after a DLman there? Or go for a FA acquisition then and draft a WR, in what was a pretty rich draft? Beane wanted to give Allen a sure bet at a seasoned and crafty vet WR, and he did. I can't fault that. And having the #2 offense, #3 passing offense that year and #3 offense, top-10 passing offense the following year makes it a bit revisionist to argue that what was on the field for the Bills in 2020 and 2021 showed that Beane hadn't done enough, offensively. I think after 13 seconds it looked to most of us like it was the defense that faltered - and hasn't that been a theme for most of us, throughout this season until the script flipped the last handful of games? A friend of ours works professionally with wild animals. They like to say "it's always OK, until it isn't" - meaning unsafe things can be perceived as acceptable, "never had a problem", until one day they do. I think where Beane went awry was after 2021, in assuming that Davis, Crowder, McKenzie, and a 5th round draft pick were adequate to replace Saunders (who replaced Brown for a year) and Beasley. They weren't, and they still aren't, although Shakir is looking as though he may have something now. Kincaid may have been a good start, but he's got to do more.

But Moss showed good hands in both Buffalo & Indy

I think lack of urgency hurt them too, so

He is. I think they were going for the “Ha! They’ll never expect us to throw to this guy!” factor.

Guy had 6 receptions on the year

Welcome to the playoffs, Houston! ”Minshew and Goodson will think about that all night long” - I think you’re off by about 180 nights, Aikman

Is it just me or do the Colts seem as though they have no sense of urgency here?

I like the go for two and fail scenario but unless the FG kicker suddenly develops acute diarrhea I don’t know why they would.

Eh. We need to take care of business, our own business. If we do, we make it. If we don’t, take care of your own business next time.

OK, so answer with a ruddy here, go for 2 and fail - here we come tie! Crazy that the Colts have not converted a 3rd down as of yet.

I root for him too, but he wasn’t on the field at the time. I’ll be rooting for him on the next drive since Taylor is out

Uh oh , 6 point game…does that make a tie more or less likely?

Bills fans want a tie Pittsburgh fans want a tie And 1st and goal, there goes the tie

I know, right? “We screwed up so just forget about the positive yards you just gained - Me bad, do over”

I want a tie, but I can’t help rooting for Motor

I think if the Titans beat the Jags, Indy would make it in But if the Jags win, yes both gone

👔👔👔👔 tied in the 4th

Have they said yet what’s up with Hughes? Also, I’m almost sure that was a neutral zone infraction on Texans there I dunno about every play but on that one he certainly was

Jerry Hughes down.

I seem to recall you having a sometimes source. Am I mistaken on that?

But that block though 🥰. I haven’t seen anything like that since FredEx endo’d JJ Watt. https://247sports.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/article/bills-fred-jackson-caused-jj-watts-bruise-105216600/

I don’t think we’re gonna see a tie in this game. Just a hunch
