I hope our O line was listening.  A lot of drivel; they were close to saying Nix will be better than Allen on Sunday.

The national media (of whom most can not name 3 players on the bills defense) building the broncos into the 85 bears all week is perfect for buffalo.

 

this is exactly the situation we need.  It’s the anti bengals take from two years ago.  Two years ago it was the bengals line is terrible and the bills will blow them out.

 

so having the media building up the broncos defense is perfect.  Let the bills players hear that all week.  They clearly responded to this type of thing going into the lions game.

 

i hope it continues.

They are talking about on ESPN how Denver is a really tough draw for Buffalo, and that Surtain will shut down half the field and man to man coverage will cause the Bills fits.

 

Burrow just went 39 for 49, 412 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs

 

The week earlier Herbert went 23 for 31, 284 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT

 

So to me that all does not compute to being this impossible defense to move the ball against.  I understand they are a ball hawking D,  that might be the bigger concern.

 

 

 

God help them if they plan man coverage against us. Allen will eat them alive with his legs.

The schedule Gods are apparently sick of screwing me over and have briefly smiled upon me.  Best of all worlds for a long-distance attendee.

 

Super weird that all 3 AFC games are played before any NFC game starts tho.

 

Maybe that means Divisional games will be on Saturday for AFC, Sunday for NFC.

Took a look back at recent playoff history since the NFL added the 7th seed.   7th seeds are 1-6 against 2nd seeds.     Not counting the Superbowl lower seeds are 16-32 against higher seeds in that same timeframe.     

 

Years ago, when it was still 6 teams, I looked at the wildcard round, and the road team would win 3 out of the 4 games pretty much each year.  Did not dig down as deep as to which seeds to bet on.

They made preseason predictions that the Bills would miss the playoffs and are hoping to be proven at least a little bit correct with a Broncos upset. They will go to great lengths to be proven right. This week, Conor Orr picked the Bengals, Chiefs and Jets to win just to keep his preseason prediction of a Bengals SB win alive.

Add in a victory over the Chiefs today, so 2-7 against winning teams. 

Ahhh...not the real Chiefs though.

Our offensive line, our quick pass game, and Josh Allen all neutralize a great pass rush. Not saying they won't still get pressure because they very most likely will. But it's not going to be the difference maker that the media will make it out to be.

Oh boy - nothing is easy in this league. But the Bills will destroy the Broncos. 4 quarters of pure pleasure coming boys!! Go BILLS!

Don't underestimate Denver. They were a blocked FG away from beating the Chiefs in Arrowhead. They are a good team. I think the Bills will win but it will be a one score win.

McDermott revenge game. Loss to DEN last year brought him as close to a job search as he has been during his tenure. That, plus Nix being a rookie, I think collectively bode well for BUF. 
 

Assuming the O-line holds up for JA17, this Everybody Eats offense should be a good matchup vs a defense that has a shutdown corner. Let him lock down Cooper and feed Cook, Johnson, Davis, Kincaid, Knox, Shakir, Coleman, and Samuel.

I hear ya - they are a team on the rise. But too many holes still that we will exploit. I think we beatdown on shakedown street.

I hope you are right. Nothing would make me happier than watching the Bills up big this Sunday afternoon. I still think it will be a close game.

Looking at the 2023 matchup....we had 4 turnovers.....woof.

Thats a pretty wild stat.   Looking to find reasons to feel positive about this game because I know this week is going to take forever.

I’m not underestimating Denver but the chief’s thing doesn’t resonate much with me this year, the raiders were a botched snap away from beating them in arrowhead too and they are brutal. Division rivals almost always play each other tight.

 

i think the more meaningful stat is that the broncos are 1-6 when the opponent scores 20+. They need to win a certain type of way. As a comparison, the Chiefs failed to score 30 points all year. The bills had some absurd streak of doing so. The Bills are a bad matchup for them.

I think it will be a close win with the run defense exposed (again), which will result in fits of nervousness in lead up to the inevitable game against the Ravens.

 

The Broncos are a good side but the Bills should not be losing to them at Highmark.

they dared the bills to keep running the ball.  They were running all over them and for some reason they kept throwing the ball.  Its why dorsey was fired.  the bills should have run like 40 times that night but payton knew they would keep throwing the ball.

 

wilson threw that lollipop TD in the endzone that should have been batted down but oh well.  Then of course the penalty at the end.

 

Nix makes this an entirely different game and so does the season nick benitto is having.  

 

also for fun the Broncos have 3 pro bowlers this year as opposed to the bills two.  So they have more pro bowlers and a better head coach.  

 

I hope the media hammers this Broncos are going to win narrative all week.  It is the perfect setup for Buffalo.

Really hoping Pittsburgh can pull the upset over the Ravens. Yes they’re on a skid but it’s yet another game against a team they hate and whom they split wins with this season. Fingers crossed. I just hate the Ravens.

I don't expect the Steelers to beat the Ravens with the way their offense has been playing. Hopefully they can at least put them through a war as both teams hate each other's guts.

I’d much prefer if God didn’t help them at all.
