Carmel Corn Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 What if.....the Bills beat the Steelers.....could they beat the Colts in the dome? Would they have had better success in defending against their pass attack? The Colts defense was still vulnerable to a good ball control offense. I was really looking forward to this match-up.
Mantis Toboggan M.D Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 I think... We would have been humiliated and crushed. They would have torn our defense a new ahole. In some ways, im glad the Bills didnt make the playoffs, because we are not an elite team and i do not want to watch them get embarassed on tv.
envirojeff Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 I think the Bills would have lost as well, but they would have played alot better! Jeff
#89 Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 I don't think we would have won there. It is terribly loud and with Manning this year, he just was so hot.
Realist Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 Instead of 45-24 it would have been Indy 38-13. Face it, Buffalo can not compete with the best teams in the league, yet.
zow2 Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 We are all huge Bills fans...but they would not have matched up with the Colts in the Dome. Our D was fierce but good teams could easily poke holes in them. We would have lost something like 40-17. After our 4 SB losses in the early 90's, I've always said that I hope the Bills don't make the playoffs until they are good enough to win the Bowl. Denver has gotten beat down two years in a row in the first round. Who needs that? This Bills team is not good enough to win it all yet.

I was really looking forward to this match-up. 201192[/snapback] Probably would have been a little closer, but not by much. Nevertheless, I take little solace in this fact. It may look like one time will kill the other team on paper, but that's why you play the games and you never know. I would have rather seen the Bills have a shot and be humiliated in the playoffs than being humiliated by second-stringers in a must-win game.

I think Manning would have killed us. 201284[/snapback] No because with the Broncos win in the last game that would have kept them above the Bills I think. In order for us to have finished 5th, the Jets and Broncs needed to lose.
BRH Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 All I'm going to say is this: remember how wide open Antwaan Randle El got on Terrence McGee two Sundays ago? That would have been Reggie Wayne on Sunday.
