RichRiderBills Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Yep no one has tried to double diggs and run the ball on us... Theres no easy template to beat us. You're going to have to hope our defense reverts to early season form ( when both LBs and DBs were out) , allowing long drives being the more important notion of "stopping the run", that our offense turns the ball over 2-3 times ( yes, not just win turnover battle), score on ST or Defense, then I really believe you have a mobile QB who can run for 1st downs, then hopes a clutch QB chokes in the 4th quarter...which he has not often done lately. ( not even in AZ loss) Even with this happening we were 1-2 plays from winning 2/3 losses...even the Titans game was nearly back in reach in the 3rd quarter. Again, I dont think we can be beat by a team without a mobile QB. Edited January 7, 2021 by RichRiderBills 2

Seems easy enough on defense. Why didn’t everyone else just do that all year. Its really simple. You double up on Diggs it will open up the other WR's especially Brown which was Allens #1 last year. We have great WR's and the other teams know that. Its great that brown is back and healthy. Edited January 7, 2021 by Mr. Magoo 1

I got my beer, frozen pizza and nuts today. Just something to do to make it feel like the game is soon. So excited for this. Edited January 7, 2021 by Rochesterian Bills Fan

YoloinOhio Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 Joe Marino had his crossover podcast today with the colts analyst and he said they’ve mainly played man recently and that Diggs will likely be shadowed by Xavier Rhodes, who coincidentally was his former teammate in Minnesota. I assume they practiced against each other for years. 2
FLFan Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 If they are going to play man against Allen and our receivers they will be in for a long day. 1
YoloinOhio Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 Along with Allen being named AFC Offensive Player of the Month... good matchup Saturday 1

Andrew Son Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I think Allen running is going to be a key to this game. Colts have a stout run D with a nice D line, I'm not expecting much out of our backs. I think we spread it out and see several designed QB runs.

I think we will see some QB power runs a la the Houston game last year. Give the Colts something else to think about early. 2

It’s pretty amazing, but he is so much more lethal Now throwing. Basically like Mahomes and Russell Wilson. Running is a waste of a play. You can even tell his mindset has changed re running generally— he had a nice run last week on a scramble when he was under pressure and it almost pained him to have to run.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 can someone explain the comment "listen to the salt crack underneath my shoes" Crusty floors or rock salt for snowy weather?

I agree he can do way more damage via the air than with his feet, but its something you do to keep defenses looking for it/planning for it. 1

Especially when I don’t think they (and maybe rightfully so) don’t need to fully respect our running game. At least not to the degree you would with a team with explosive backs
