Nine reasons why the Colts will kick butt in Buffalo

2) In fact, they don’t have a single win against a team with a winning record when they played them.

3) The weather…its a game in which the weather will start out marginal and deteriorate from there. Rain and winds gusting to 35 miles per hour will punctuate the 2nd half, which will skew the advantage towards the team with the best ground game.

4) And the Bills rushing game is marginal, at best, without anything resembling an elite player.

5) much is made of the prowess of the Bills pass defense, but Carson Wentz, for all his shortcomings, isn’t Jacoby Brissett or Tyler Heinecke or Davis Mills or Tua Tuatagaloa or Trevor Lawrence or Joe Flacco…which is a list of the QB’s they’ve dominated.

6) And, the Days of Bruce Smith terrorizing enemy QB’s on the Niagara frontier is long over. If the Colts OL is, even, marginally healthy, Carson Wentz should have plenty of time to make plays.

7) Dayo, Buckner and Kwity should feast on a banged up Bills OL.

8) No one’s ever going to confuse Bills TE Dawson Knox with Travis Kelce.

9) the Colts are just more motivated to win this thing. They’ve been pointing towards this game ever since last year’s playoffs, which they feel they should’ve won. They feel disrespected and ornery, and in a game in which the two sides are evenly matched, attitude is often the margin of victory.

DAMN Kray, hopefully you bet the mortgage on this one!

What is so damn satisfying is that I believe we have a team that can win in the elements in the playoffs. Have we ever been able to say that?

That is unheard of for a dome team, but we have thoroughly dominated the 49'rs and the Bills on the road, in the elements.

We just have to get Big Q and The Maniac healthy. Getting Khari Willis back would be a big boost as well.
