Wild Card Playoff Bills The Aftermath

[shrader]

That kind of close win could actually do wonders for them. It’s a reminder that it’s not going to be as easy as the last few weeks. And fortunately it’s not a harsh reminder.

I agree.  The World Juniors earlier this week was a great example of what happens to a lot of really good teams when they never face adversity.  Canada folded their tent pretty quick when Team USA got the lead.

 

They're not all going to be pretty - all that matters is results.

I was so nervous before this game. We played like crap. 

And none of it matters. No style points in football. 

Thank goodness. They were outplayed for much of the game, but got it together to win. And, finally learned how to KNOCK IT DOWN!!

Yeah, but the offenses are about to get much better... Need to get our intensity back. 

Like @Alaska Darin stated, we'll  be fine now that we got that first victory under our belt. Not saying we can't lose but  dont think any team wants to get into a track meet with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.

[Just Joshin]

Frank made some bad decisions or they might have won.

[Fansince88]

The fan they went to was crying.....There is no crying in football!

[Fansince88]

50,000 fans will talk about how they were at this game!

[Hedge]

Does the NFL not realize that very clear evidence exists and was shown multiple times during the game?

Colts are a better team than I previously thought.

Most colts fans agree it was a fumble, though the originator of this thread thinks the refs hurt them with clock issues:

I agree with @Alaska Darin.  We weren't going to march through and get our first playoff win in 25 years without any hiccups.  That Josh sack though was brutal.

Yeah, all those delay of games they got away with really hurt them 🙄

 

(yes, I know how this is usually officiated but a couple of them seemed long even taking the normal delay into account.)

I couldn't bring myself to post during the game............Great win.

 

I told my son that the (obvious)  colt fumble would not be called.

 

Not because they hate the Bills and like the Colts, but the NFL will NEVER have a officiating call "decide" the game

 

Not since New Orleans.

Yes.  I was really surprised they didn't kick a FG at the 4 yard line.  Can't see many coaches making Frank's decision.

I was screaming. At least three.

Absolutely. This is precisely the kind of games the Bills lose in years past. If Josh is going to fumble at a critical time and bring them to a 2nd and 33, let it happen in the win. If they lost, he'd be hearing about that play for months.

[Ninety-4]

For all the recent love heaped on Dabol,  I was furious 3 times they ran Josh instead of a RB and equally pissed when on 1st down with 4 min to play he called a pass.

I don’t disagree with your premise, but it kills me that the league seems to think like this because it’s ass backwards. If they play is called correctly the call doesn’t decide the game, the play does. If Indy somehow won because it wasn’t called correctly, that would be the call deciding the game.
