On to Indy

I think Indy is a decent team. Definitely need to show up and play well (unlike say…the Titans where we only needed to show up for like 1.5 quarters).

 

Defensively they are pretty good...all their games have been within one score this year, even with putrid QB play for the most part, especially from Richardson when he is in there.

Josh Allen is 7-0 in domes.

Isn’t Houston a dome?

Nope.  Retractable Roof.  Josh is 2-3 in those.

wish Grover Stewart was on the Bills

Look for a heavy dose of Taylor in the run game.  Last time we played the Colts he gashed the Bills for almost 200 and 4 TDs.

O-line has their work cut out for them. I’m expecting Coleman to be out and hopefully Cooper can go, or else the passing game won’t be able to take advantage of the Colts secondary. 
 

Could be a repeat of that Colt game when Taylor ran wild if the Bills don’t close those gaps. If there was a game to bring in Cine as a heavy safety, this is it

He does so well playing in domes he should live in one.

 

SCORE!!!!!!

 I wish I have Curtis Samuel's job. Getting paid millions just running side to side on the football field.

If Hollins becomes the WR1, I will have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Flacco is starting again. Colts fans seem to be melting down about their QB 1 situation.

Veteran QB who will check it down with a solid run game and decent defense. Will be another close game.

Agree. Similar to last week.

 

Indy’s season also hangs in the balance. They will look at this as a chance to stay in the hunt.

 

Not only that, but a win against the Buffalo Bills means something. We are a great team. A win against the Bills is a keystone win for a team like Indy.

 

The only argument against a close game is that there is evidence that Jim Irsay is meddling in the football operations. It’s weird. His daughter stands on the sidelines with a clipboard looking over the shoulder of the head coach…

 

Indy didn’t look good against Minnesota and the Flacco/ Richardson fiasco is ugly.

 

It could be bad vibes in that locker room… I have no idea.

 

One thing is for sure, there are great vibes in Buffalo right now. Unlike last year…

Give Ray Davis some looks early, please.

Hate to mention this, but Lucas Oil Stadium has a retractable roof, as well.

Does this stat honestly matter? Last week someone pointed out Josh Allen was 0-3 playing in games after daylight savings. It’s meaningless.

 

Maybe overall record playing in tropical Miami at one pm, or in a rain storm, or home/ away, or on turf vs grass, or Thursday / Monday night / Sunday afternoon/ has merit. But a lot of these other stats are ridiculous with no context. Josh Allen playing in a building with a particular style roof? It’s absurd IMO.

 

BTW, Dallas has a retractable roof, right? How did Josh perform on Thanksgiving Day there? I can’t remember.

If Flacco has time he can still do some damage. And with the way our run defense has been for the most part this year...JT could put up 150+. They're not a great team...but they could be a bad matchup. 

 

I expect a win but wouldn't be shocked if this is their "we were supposed to win" game that we drop.

I think we’ll be sitting on the run and if we lose it’ll be ‘how did Joe Flacco shred us’ personally 🤣

[Johnnycage46]

As per usual, just hoping for a win and staying healthy. Hopefully we get Cooper and Benford back. I don't think Indy has the same talent at WR that Miami had so maybe we can commit a little more resources to stopping the run and playing more balanced defense this week.

Richardson being a bust was one of the easiest predictions in NFL history.  

 

Having said that, and regarding this game, Taylor hasn't posted a relevant game against any good rushing D this season, but since we're not a good rushing D, who knows what he'll do.  He had 110 rushing against Chicago whose rushing D is about as good as ours is statistically, that was his best game.  He's averaging 83 ypg.  

 

But their receivers aren't what they've been in past recent years and Pittman is struggling and rumored to be traded prior to the game.  

 

Their D has been good at home, but not their rushing D, which ranks 31st in YPG allowed with 150 R yards allowed.  Only 133 at home.  But McD loves to run the ball so this should work.  

 

Flacco at 39 shouldn't be a concern.

This has the makings of a game where we pile it on.  Our defense usually feasts against one dimensional offenses with average or worse QBs.  As long as Josh is able to successfully move the offense, we should win by double digits.
