I like our chances this week… but remember our 3 point playoff win against the Skylar Thompson-led Dolphins?

That was right after the Damar thing and in some ways, I don't think that team was fully with it mentally in that playoff game or the Bengals game that year. This year I think they will be laser focused

Polian just said on radio that Denver lead league in sacks and has a ferocius pass rush AND THE BILLS LINE IS NOT VERY GOOD AT PASS PROTECTION!

 

Bills 14 sacks allowed at 2.6% both best in league by a whopping 8 as GB is next closest with 22 allowed.

Sure, but that game was only close due to Bills turnovers.

Common knowledge is that A LOT of the reason the Bills sack allowed % is so low is thanks to the legs and feet of Joshua Patrick Allen. The OL contributes to that and it is a good line but lets not pretend the Bills OL are the Hogs or the 91 Cowboys' line.

I do hope that McD and Babich have learned that you do require a new wrinkle in the playoffs and that they havent put everything on tape this season. Relying on turnovers against Batimore isnt likely to get it done. There have been hints from people that watch the tape that we are better at man defense than the defensive alignment slips would have you believe. So maybe we will reveal man blitzes that teams arent prepared for. Whatever it is, I think this is a box McD would have to check, this season especially.

So you compare our damn good OL to the two best OL in history? Ok...

Are we watching the same games? Allen has had a ton of time to throw in majority of games

The media has been pumping Denver pretty hard. I feel like this is the same thing preseason where everyone said we would be like 3rd in the division to Miami and the Jets. Then the Bills made a statement. I feel like they are going to make a statement this week again.

 

I think Denver has a good upcoming team. They are solid. Nix is decent. Coaching is good. I also feel its early and they aren't for this big moment yet.

In some ways, the Broncos this year are similar to the 2019 Bills. A young up and coming QB and team that made the playoffs but not quite ready yet

What difference does it make if it's a combination of QB and Line? It's probably the whole unit and strategy that contributes!

Denver had a remarkably easy schedule this year. Their only impressive win was against the Bucs in week 3, they were also a blocked field goal from beating KC but other than that they've only beaten the bottom feeders.

Opponent win %

 

Broncos - 51%

Bills - 49%

Allen has never been sacked so little, so something has changed on the line. You can see that he has a lot more time this year compared to past years, when, regular as clockwork, Spencer Brown would be beat, Allen would dodge, and the play would commence. Snap, whiff, dodge, look. This year, it's snap, look, look, look, dodge, scramble, throw, or some variation. He seems to trust his protection more, too, unlike two years ago and maybe parts of last year.

The Bills beat the Chiefs and Lions. I wouldn't be trying to make it look like the Bills had it easier. The Bills have also been a legit Super Bowl contender the last 5 years. Denver hasn't

Just posting facts. Bills did beat two excellent teams (Chiefs/Lions) and a TON of ***** teams this year.

I think it is very rarely relevant to compare results from different years.  The teams are different.  That said, Josh turned the ball over recklessly in that game after the Bills went up big.  It could just as easily have been a blowout.  Josh has matured significantly since that time.

 

If there is one thing that is consistent about the McD/Josh Bills, however, it is that they typically beat the snot out of teams they are supposed to beat.

 

After this week the real battles begin.

Strength of schedule is one thing, but I thought the Broncos had a dismal record against winning or playoff teams?

It's one of the lowest sack % given up since the 91 Washington commanders. It's an interesting matchup as Denver can definitely rush the passer. 

 

If Buffalos oline has their way, it will be a strong barometer that buffalo is absolutely about to go on a historic run in the playoffs which is what I have predicted for weeks. That this playoff run especially offensively will be like the 1989 49ers.

[MDH]

I keep hearing from talking heads how the Broncos are playing “really well.” In one breath they’ll tell you the Chiefs loss doesn’t concern you about the Chiefs and then say the above. 
 

How were the Broncos playing before that? Two straight losses and allowed 30+ points in both. Against Cinci the Denver offense had two chances in OT against one of the worst Ds in the league and went 3 and out both times.

 

The 2 games before that? Both Denver wins but the D allowed 500 passing yards to Jamis and allowed 150 rushing yards to the Colts while Nix had 5 INTs combined in those two games.

 

The Bills can certainly lose this game but somebody needs to do some fact checking before they tell me how well the Broncos have been playing lately.

Yes but we beat the #1 seeded teams in each conference so I think that kinda makes all the crap teams we beat irrelevant. We have the Chiefs their only legit loss and the Lions one of only 2 of their losses this year. This team is legit.

We also put up 42 on the Rams and should have won that game as well

And they pulled their starters about 5 times in the 4th quarter.
