Wentz to Covid list

[Process]

For those who are hoping to avoid the colds in round one, is this actually bad? I would think we want them as the five seed since we are likely to be three.

 

Does it make Raiders vs Bills a decent possibility if they beat the Colts or still a long shot? What a gift that would be.

They do have Jonathan Taylor.  The Q is how effective is he if the opponent can just key on him and not worry about passing at all

I think opponents have been keying on him all year. If you are keying on the Colts passing game in any situation besides third and long you shouldn’t be a DC.

I don't know about a "hot take" but it seems you are trolling.

You put Sam Ehlinger or Brett Hundley beating Trubisky?

You can’t have it both ways. Our team MVP is very obviously Josh. Theirs is Taylor. Losing our MVP would be a bigger blow than losing Carson Wentz who is a passenger in that offense for the most part.

 

So yes. If it was Sam vs Mitch in the playoffs, I would be REALLY NERVOUS.

Isn’t this an upgrade for the colts?

I just played around with the playoff machine and honestly it's useless to even try and predict anything. I thought I knew who to root for this weekend but the seeding is going to be dependent on so many different matchups. There's even a couple realistic scenarios I found where we are the 2 seed.

[MasterStrategist]

Wentz is the 2nd to last QB that I'd want starting, from the current AFC playoff teams.

 

But, he's still "average" to slightly above average with the way teams have to defend Indys run game.  Wentz is very good at getting them into the right play at the line.  The drop-off to Ehlinger will be significant.

 

I haven't looked at tiebreaker, but would expect Vegas gives them a great game and potentially a loss.

If the Colts lose against the Raiders it is much more likely we play them in the wildcard round which is the one scenario I'm really hoping to avoid. Hopefully they get their o-linemen back and find a way to win this one. Otherwise we'll be big Raiders fans against the Chargers next week. If the Raiders win out we are likely to face them.

 

There are actually a lot of scenarios where we wouldnt play the Colts.  I dont want to play them either but there is still a lot of stuff up in the air in the AFC.  All the Bills can do is take care of their own business and let the chips fall where they may,

There is no way for us to get the 2 seed without the Titans losing to both the dolphins and Texans, correct? I don't see that as very realistic.

Wentz isn't a franchise QB but he is an NFL seasoned QB.  He has 25 TDs and 6 INTs so far this season.  With a rookie who hasn't thrown a pass yet

teams will 100% key on the running game IMO.

[SF Bills Fan]

With Taylor being the main threat, I'm still favoring the Colts. 

[Big Blitz]

Taylor could cement MVP this week.

I think that is correct.  Titans win one game they would be 11-6.  Bills win both they are 11-6.  Titans have the tie breaker.  There are also scenarios where even if the Bills win out they end up the 4th seed not the 3rd.

[RalphWilson'sNewWar]

Well…they do not have to worry about losing Wentz in playoffs now.  If they can make it now.

Nevermind you're right, I forgot to pick the winner of the Titans/Texans game. The 2 seed is impossible unless the Titans lose out.

This is BAD for us. Colts lose but then beat Jax next week they are still in and playing us in round 1 instead of us playing Patriots. You really think Raiders beat Chargers last game to get in? What's more likely?

[LABILLBACKER]

Someone bubble wrap Josh please.

[716er]

Bring on the Colts. We ain't losing to them twice.

[Paul Costa]

The Colts/ Bills playoff game will go very similar to the second Bills/Pats game. Even more so if Star ⭐️ plays. Only another Tornado 🌪 could save the Colts.

Personally I think Star is checked out.
