Colts' Offense vs Bills' Defense

Buffalo's defensive looks more like a MASH unit coming into Monday night's matchup than the headhunting crew of years past. They have lost six starting players to injury on defense this season and several others are playing hurt. This would give the high powered Colt offense a decisive advantage, one would think.

Of course one would also think that this group of talented and seasoned professionals would not turn the ball over at least once a game or cost the offense critical field position with mindless penalties and dropped passes. One might say I'm lloking for problems where there are none, given the fact that the Colts are ranked third overall in total offense. But scratch the surface of those stats and you'll see that the Colt offense has sputtered regularly and given teams life when we were up or given them chances to beat us down when we were behind. Three straight road games with no points scored in the first half is cause for real concern.

I beleive we have the personnel to dominate any team in the NFL if we play up to our potential and not down to the level of the competition. We go out and play our game, we score 20+ points every game, no sweat.  There's no magic formula for this, just good old fashioned hard work and determination. We've come up inches short on too many occasions this year and not because of the defense making great plays. Fine tuning is what is called for, not an overhaul. 

Given the overall condition of our offense and the inexperience of the Bills defense, the Colts still enjoy a hefty advantage BUT only if they do not turn the ball over.

Advantage: Colts
