[MTC]

Bills made a good roster decision for once. 

[ColtsBlueFL]

I think many of us saw that one coming.  Let's see how long it lasts once game tape gets around.

This is bad news for the Colts.  Our achilles heel is running/athletic QBs.  Go back and watch the Raiders game from last year and you'll see my point.

Stop it, completely different defense this year

What was the result of that game?

It was 2 years ago BTW

And there was no Raiders game last year. It was the 2013 season, so again..... stop it, completely different defense this year

[Jackie Daytona]

If our achilles heel is some dude with the ignominious moniker of "Tyrod"  we were doomed before we began......  That name ranks up there with some of the all time lows..... 

[Jackie Daytona]

I wonder if he has siblings named balljoint and idlerarm?

Only thing i see making a difference in that game is the Bills defense.

The only good (if you wanna call him that) qb on that list is Fitzpatrick. Even then he's nothing special but he's the best on that list.

Yeah I just seen it. Oops.

and they'll still be minus Marcel Dareus

[Malakai432]

Who????

None the less Colta can sometimes make unknowns look like Joe Montana. Hopefully this isn't the case against the Bills and Tire Rod.

Yeah I'll never forget that Chargers game (think it was a playoff game) when Billy Volek looked like the 2nd coming of Montana.

They're still a tough matchup without him.

[Mr.Debonair]

Lot of speed on the Bills offense. Watkins, Harvin, Woods, McCoy, and Taylsor

[Qwiz]

Well this is intriguing. I'm interested to see what Tyrod is capable of.

We beat the Seahawks and 49ers and their o-lines were more established then and donʻt forget those defenses too 

[ColtRider]

Pretty sure the Colts are taking this 1st game in Buffalo very, very, seriously. It's imperative that we get off to a great start this year. I've always sided on the premise that "home-field advantage" resides in the first half of the season. It'll be a good first look at the offensive sets and how they'll attack. A great combination of run, throw, and defensive stops. The Colts are most capable of performing all three.

[BullsColtsFan1]

I think they picked the right guy but I think the Colts defense can find some success against him.

Off topic, I had a tie rod go bad on my car earlier this year.

That's three defenses that will be top five this season too.

Nope. Three.

Nope. Three.

I am willing to bet everything I have the Texans won't be a top 5 defense this year.

[Qwiz]

I am willing to bet everything I have the Texans won't be a top 5 defense this year.

And you'd be the man who lost everything.

[SteelCityColt]

And you'd be the man who lost everything.

So what are you willing to wager?

[amfootball]

Yet again Rex shows he has not idea how to handle the QB position. This kid is going to get rocked all season long.

[Qwiz]

So what are you willing to wager?

Why do I need to wager anything at all? It was a simple statement I'm not trying to start an off topic war about the Texans defensive talent.

[OhioColtsGirl]

Well when the other option was EJ Manuel, the decision seems quite simple. Lol

It was meant in good humour... But ok.
