Beast Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) They are a good team. They are more than playoff worthy. But let us be honest....the Bills didn't play nearly the way they are capable of. Edited January 9, 2021 by Beast
RobbRiddick Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 They were also playing with the emotion of everyone in the media saying they had no chance. That must have given them an extra 10% today. I really thought they'd squeak this one against us purely because of that. Thank god we made it through. Shows how touch this Bills team is. I won't feel as nervous about next week's no matter who we play. I think the team will also play looser without that weight around their necks - it must make a difference to some degree. Hopefully we're not big favorites next week as well 1
Rc2catch Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Field position killed us in the first half. I was super worried our defense would be 100% gassed by the 4th. I think Indy executed what they needed to very well but I also think we had a terrible defensive game plan. Rivers should never ever have that much time to throw, and those lame duck box out throws to the tight ends was really frustrating. In the end, I think Indy should of won that game. We didn’t play our best and they gifted us repeatedly. All those dropped passes by their backs is unusual. The dumb calls by Reich. Allen of course gifted them on the fumble as well. Happy we won, but hope we play better in the future 1
NewEra Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I said all along they were one of the teams I didn’t want to face. Very good D, all world LB and DT, star studded OL, RB with breakaway speed, HoF QB and a great coaching staff. Rivers was a beast on so many of those 3rd down conversions to the TEs.

BillsFan130 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I knew this game would be a dog fight. 11 wins. minus that week 1 debacle against JAX, they went 11-4 and beat some very good teams including the packers 1

Another Fan Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 You kind of knew a Frank Reich team would come in prepared. Heck I think he was the brains behind the Eagles Super Bowl win. Although whosever decision it was to go for it on 4th and Goal before halftime for the Colts REALLY came back to haunt them. I think though the year of the 1990 Super Bowl run the first game against the Dolphins was the toughest that year? Same thing with The Comeback in the 1992 season. 1

Steelers hit a few big plays, but I thought Indy was the better team. 1
wjag Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 My Colts thoughts: 1. No quit in those guys. I’m very impressed. 2. Rivers with big throw after big throw. 3. Frank. You should have kicked the FG. 4. Bad break on the doink. 5. Dline and Oline are impressive. 6. Hard not to like Cox and Pittman. 7. Absolutely solid game plan. Kudos. 2
london_bills Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 We only won because Allen played another stellar game. The missed FG was huge aswell. 1

They have a decent team They won 11 games, only 2 less than us. When was the last time the lowest seeded team to qualify for the playoffs won 11 games. They also were not a good matchup for us in that they run the ball well which we struggle with. I also think we were a bit conservative in the 1st half with play calls. The one series, we got about an 8.5 yard gain on 1st down, then ran the next two plays for no gain, in fact may have lost yards, against a defense that is stronger at stopping the run and had one of their starting CB's out for the game. All year we won with the pass today we tried more to establish the run than normally we'd pass to set up the run. Maybe it was due to our poor field position all half?
Success Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Man, that is a good team. Extremely well-coached - they came in ready & motivated. Nothing was easy today. We were lucky to get out of there. That game was basically a tie.

The Bills can't keep putting it ALL on Allen. He really came through today, as he always does - but up 24-10 with a quarter to play? His job should be over. 2
US Egg Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 The quiet stars of the game were the referees, they let them play and got the calls right.
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 50 minutes ago, TBBills said: Bills just didn't play well, the defense looked off all game. The offense thought they were a run first team for most of the game. Wed have to wait for the all22 but I think those runs late in the 3rd/early 4th when we were up two scores completely surprised us. If one of those Colts late td drives was 6 or so minutes instead of 2 that game is never that close down the stretch
