Especially in windy rainy weather.

Damn, oh well, it was a good try.

Pick or no pick, anything that delays the game long enough for the wind and bad weather to come in is okay with me.

The Bills (other than Allen scrambling) can't run the ball for shit. Colts have Taylor and Hines.

Bad weather is a huge advantage for Indy.

It'd make more sense if we had anything resembling a solid pass rush, but we don't. So yeah, it makes no damn sense.

I don’t like it either, but the idea is it is hard to have those long sustained drives. That first pick is an example of what the idea is. Offense made a mistake and D capitalized

Allen can throw in the wind, cold rain and snow

The theory is that if you make them take multiple plays to go down the field, it give the defense more chances to make a play. The reality is a bit different, however.

[nate505]

Well, that sucked.

[WaynesWorld87]

Our defense hasn't really "stopped" them. Their first drive was ruined by a holding call that forced a 3rd and 18 and a forced ALlen pass to try and pick up the 1st down. Odom made a good read on the pick, sure, but our defense was getting gashed up until the penalty on the Bills first drive.

And obviously the defense got shredded on this drive. This has Titans game vibes all over it.

Not to beat a dead horse, but Diggs interfered with Odum on that possible interception....just reached out and grabbed a hold of him!
