Dont Stop Billeiving Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Think this might be our biggest win since beating the Pats at home in 2011. Win last year versus the Packers comes to mind as well, but I think this game means more. In addition, both of those previous wins could be explained away as flukes (an opinion that Mike Schopp shared the other day to my surprise). We did benefit from a couple tipped ball INTs and some mistakes by the other team (ex. the Jordy Nelson drop) in those games, but I don't agree with that view as I thought our defense really dominated in both contests. Unlike those two games, we dominated start to finish and never gave the Colts any excuse to feel as though they gave away the game. Did all of that with a new QB, several new skill players (many of whom are still nursing injuries), and a new coaching staff. Played physical, punishing football and got big contributions from several role players (Karlos Williams, Mario Butler, Randall Johnson, etc.). Took down a huge contender in the AFC and made the Week 2 match up with the Pats that much more exciting. Where do you think this win ranks in the last 5 years? 10 years? Or since the infamous playoff drought began? What a game and a huge result for us...can't wait for the rest of this season and for more victories to discuss with you all.
BUFFALOKIE Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 It was definately the biggest win of the year, so far!
atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 IF they build off this it could be the biggest win in the last 15years. As it stands this should be a good confidence builder for Taylor. I think we all have said that the Bills are a QB away from great things. Let's see if Taylor can keep up and get better from today's performance.
birdog1960 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 way up there. most convincing win over a good team in 10 years at least. so this is what it's like to root for a good organization. who knew? i'm convinced already. this is a different buffalo bills
The Dean Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 It was definately the biggest win of the year, so far! Beat me to it.
DC Greg Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 It's a big, big win. Great way to start the year. Sets a big tone. But next week would be bigger.
Dorkington Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I think it was a big win, but it also could have been a fluke game, not a clue. Long season to go, and we'll find out what it means in time.

That was one season ago.
BillsFan130 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I agree but I would be a little cautious cause I think indy is overrated. besides luck Hilton and vontae davis they really don't have much talent on that roster. gore and andre Johnson are descent but getting close to father time
birdog1960 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 they did a good job with the pack if I remember correctly. That was one season ago. except that orton went 14/27 for 148, rambo had 2 interceptions, thigpen score on a 75 yard punt return and the d also scored a safety. other than that the games were mirror images.

And, Luck is not all he is cracked up to be. Since this cat has entered the league he has been crowned. He throws a lot of picks, 16 last year. I was concerned that our defensive backfield would take some time to adjust but I was wrong. This is a very good start but I wouldn't rank it up there as it is too early in the season. Nice having the tie breaker though:)

BuffaloBill Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 It was definately the biggest win of the year, so far! Well said.
dayman Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I consider this to be a HUGE win. The Colts will make the playoffs in the end, and IMO we didnt' merely beat them we beat the hell out of them. We benefited from a few cheap penalties that killed some of their best drives, but all in all we manhandled them, pressured them, and did what we set out to do. Huge win. Top 5 win over the last 10 years IMO. I was very pleased. Congrats Rex--way to introdcue yourself.
Rob's House Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 f they win next week then i'll be convinced the bad old days are just that. even if they don't, i'll think that. this is, in popular parlance, a paradigm shift. Don't let OC hear you say that.
Talley56 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 If we have a big year then I would say this is up there. But if we flop and don't make the playoffs or do anything this year then this is nothing more than maybe a nice win. I will say that this win had a different feel to it. I felt like up until we took the 24-0 lead and our defense played off on the next drive we had them completely over-matched. BTW, Rex became the first ever Bills coach to win his 1st game. Previously Bills coaches were 0-17 in their 1st game as Bills head coach.
Luxy312 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 W2 Patriots......they win this one and it's a no brainer. Playoffs and AFC championship.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) as a win? edit - Yes this was a GOOD win for the Buffalo Bills. Seriously. Lets not go overboard after 1 win against Andrew Luck and the over hyped Colts. 1 down 15 more regular season games to go. edit - If you have noticed this past season, I have not said Andrew Luck is a top 5 QB. This is an unfair dig and I say this mostly because the Colts team relies too much on him and he doesn't have a proper supporting cast.
