We couldn’t tackle Taylor how are we going to tackle Chubb or Henry? Give me Cleveland all day. That means the Bills beat the Baltimore-Nashville winner & Mayfield got past Mahomes somehow. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that Taylor and Hines rushed for 153 years on 27 carries. That’s about 5.7 yards per carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I disagree with you, he has been surprisingly good during the parts you have already watched. the man was the Covid replacement QB (3rd or 4th). not saying he is starter QB good. But imho he is playing far above expected performance for a 3/4 qb Edited January 10, 2021 by drnkirishone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does look pretty good out there and comfortable. Watching a 7-9 team formerly known as a different name playing against a TB team led by TB in the playoffs is pretty bizarre to me.

Being bad, but not awful, doesn't equate good. (Not even "surprisingly" good except in a very backhanded complimentary way.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Some Bills thoughts: 1) Won despite playing not playing well as a team. On defense. We gave up 150+ yards on 27 carries (almost 5.7 yds per carry)to their top 2 running backs. Ours gained 40. We got little pressure on Rivers and when we blitzed he torched our zone coverage. We couldn’t cover their tight ends. They converted 14 or 16 tight end targets for 136 yards and a TD. Ultimately On the positive front. The Defense made a goal-line stop in the first half and stopped the last drive to preserve the win. I worry that our 4-2-5 scheme isn’t cut out for playoff football. I would have liked seeing more of 3 linebackers in the game to stop the run. On special teams and field position battle. We failed, especially in the first half to get a punt or kick return that helped us flip the field for the offense. During the season Roberts and our punter often made such plays to set up the offense or take pressure off our defense. On the other hand their punter pinned us deep multiple times. 1st half starting field position: Our 3, 15, 11, 6, and 4. Allen magic turned 2 of those possessions into touchdowns. On the positive: Bass is developing into a excellent kicker who can be relied on critical situations. Set a rookie playoff record with his perfect 54 yrd kick. The GA Southern kicker our played his UGA rival and was ultimately the difference in the game. On Offense: Diggs and Gabriel Davis were excellent. Allen stats were excellent, but the offense didn’t feel right most of the game. Our two running backs only gained 40 or so yards. Allen beat them both with 54. We had terrible field position in the first half which lead to 3 3 and outs. Failing to move the ball at all on those drives gave Indy great field position. We also failed to put the game away in the second half. Up 24-10, we only got 3 pts in our next two drives. We did put up nearly 400 yards on offense. On the positive: This was one our most disciplined games penalty wise all season and we found a way to win despite giving up nearly 500 yards, losing the field position battle, and the time of possession battle. Bottomline: No matter who we play next week we have to be better and I think we will be. This team had a ton of pressure on it to win the franchises 1st home playoff game in a qtr century and they played like it. With this win under their belt I think they’ll be much more relaxed next week and be closer to the team we saw in the last 6 weeks of the regular season.

Yeah, I'm not going to fault anyone for blowing a call in real time that took frame-by-frame analysis to show what actually happened. I will blame them for not acting on that frame-by-frame when it conclusively shows that they were wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was holding and PI by both sides but they called it evenly. There was holding, as there usually is, by both lines, but they called it evenly.
