I’d feel happier if the Pats had won but am more excited that the Colts were victorious. We are more than capable of beating the Pats at Foxboro but after the Jags debacle we have to focus on the job in hand first.

If we win today and we win next week I think the odds are heavily in our favor that the AFC-East is ours. We're back in the money baby!

And I guess those colts are pretty good eh?

The Colts are excellent. At this stage I cannot see us making the Championship game this year unless we play like we did against the Bucs in the second half across at least three of the four quarters in Foxboro (and not get routed in the weaker one) plus six or seven quarters out of eight in the Wildcard and Divisional games. We shouldn’t need to bring our A Game to beat the Panthers, Falcons or Jets but we cannot flop out of the gate either. If there were any doubts about playing Josh today due to injury - I doubt there were any - I think they would be dismissed by last night’s result.

Yeah I agree. .. it’s a shame because Taylor looks like a special player..

 

Just out of interest though… were you wanting them to trade up and get him because i must be honest… i don’t recall many ( if any) fans here advocating for that prior/ during the 2020 draft…

 

Even if he was still there at the Bills pick, I would suggest  Beane was not gunna take him …

Yes, I wanted them to trade up for him and I was on many threads advocating for him

Really didn't think Jonathan Taylor would pick up the Derrick Henry historical season baton when Henry went down but man he is good

What were the scouts not seeing when he was at Wisconsin? Wisconsin had 2 weapons, Quintez Cephus and Taylor, and teams still couldn’t stop him

Wow, watching the replay, HTF does Pittman get ejected?  Dugger ripped Pittman's helmet off and gave him a forearm choke while he was on the ground.  Cheaters gonna Cheat, refs gonna back up the Cheats.  Cost the Colts at least a FG.

Ball security was about it.  18 fumbles (15 lost) in 41 games

It literally makes no sense at all.

He is clearly extremely talented but even he is not going crazy like this behind our offensive line.

[RichRiderBills]

The Pats looked helmed by a rookie. He looked confused, perplexed, and lost. We can beat the Pats. We can blow out the pats.

 

The Colts are the real threat. Taylor is amazing. But Wentz is just a guy. We can beat the Colts too if we score points and not turn the ball over. 

[TheCockSportif]

Wentz is the luckiest ***** in this league to be on the team that he's on.

A colts loss would’ve helped our chances of making the playoffs more so you could’ve made a case for either team winning last night.  Indy beating NE and then NE beating us is pretty much the disaster scenario for our playoff chances so it really comes down to what happens next week anyway

Why..they still lead the division. 

Could be a one game thing for them but they looked just about the furthest thing from the dominant team the talking heads have been trying to sell us on.  Also they left the door to the division wide open since we have the division tiebreaker and we play them again. That loss was objectively huge for them 

[LabattBlue]

What a joke.  The NFL is fixing it so the Pats and the Bucs are in the SB. I am so outraged.  I need to donate money to someone to show them what team has the best fanbase. 
 

Say what?  The Pats lost? Well…then never mind.  I will save the above for next Sunday night. 

[Billsfan1972]

If the Bills can't go 4-0 down the stretch, frankly they deserve whatever comes to them.

That's not true. 

 

What is true is that for this week,  and this week only, a colts win means that a couple scenarios will make the Bills drop out of the playoff race on the chart.

 

That is quickly ended and changed later in the year when other teams play each other. A Colts win does not hurt our long term playoff chances.

 

It's not a disaster at all if we win 3 of our last 4 games. Even if Pats beat us. 

 

Besides, I'm not giving that wussy QB in NE this division.

The goal is to win the division.

Because the receiver caused the contact, he didn’t lead with his helmet, the receiver ran into him, he had as much right to the ball, blame your qb for a crappy thrown ball …

He lead with his helmet! Not a shoulder a helmet. It also wasn’t a crappy thrown ball it was in his belly..

Few things are funnier than when a pats* fan complains about officiating.

There are good match ups and bad ones. The Colts will probably beat the Bills because they cant stop Taylor. 

 

I believe the Bills are better than the Pats player for player. However, their lines are better than Bills. The Bills coaching staff has to come up with a plan that maximizes their talent and limits their weaknesses. Last game, the weather hampered their strengths. I'm not confident the Bills can stop their running game. Who can be after seeing last game? If the Bills score early and often like the Colts did then their running game is limited. I'm looking forward to a similar game plan to the Tampa second half game. If so, the Bills will win. The Bills cannot let the Patriots dictate the game. If so the Pats will pound the Bills into another loss. Also, weather at Foxboro can be another negative for the Bills.

Seriously. Only thing funnier is watching how many suddenly aren’t a fan after a loss. They might be the most entitled and fickle fan base in all sports.

If the Bills play the Colts again I hope it’s either in Indy or a day with no precipitation in Buffalo. Wentz isn’t better than Rivers and I think the Bills can beat Indy.
