I assume we will beat Denver Sunday.

 

Although Kansas City is always a formidable foe, the Raven's scare me the most since they have a mobile quarterback and a strong running back.  We also didn't do very well against them when we played them earlier in the year.  Our run defense is still suspect and this could be a big test.

Baltimore

 

The only team to handedly beat us in all phases this season. It was never a game. And I don't think that was a mirage.

 

We don't match up well against them. The things they're best at are things we're bad at. We could not stop them. And Defensively, they gave us fits.

 

I'm hoping Zay Flowers being out and it being a Division game leads to the Steelers doing an upset. Or that Zay misses next week as well. I think we always have a chance against anyone. But if there's one team I want to avoid? It's Baltimore, easy.

NO ONE.  If we lose, we lose, but fear is not in the equation.  The Ravens can possibly cause us problems, but the last time we didn’t have Milano, Bernard, and Taron.  Those are three big losses and we may go to more base and put Dorian Williams on the field against Taron on some downs.

The Ravens game to me was one part "one of those games" and one part "same old Bills run defense". The Bills offense from the opening kickoff looked out of sorts. On defense, Taron Johnson and Terrel Bernard not playing was a challenge, and losing Rapp made it worse. The killer, though, was Henry popping an 87 yd TD from their first play from scrimmage and the Bills then having to commit, unsuccessfully as it were, to stopping him leaving Lamar to sprinkle a few passes, a few runs and a few TDs around without having to carry the load. 

 

The BIlls offense has looked much better after adding Cooper, so I wouldn't expect the same problems they had in that game. It was probably THE reason Beane pulled the trigger on that trade.

 

The thing that concerns me, regardless of the injuries in that game, is that has been the trend for the Bills defense against offensively balanced teams for years, most notably in the playoffs, leaving Allen going nuclear as their only option. They don't have any more of an answer now for Henry than they did in week 4, and watching them get chewed up by LA and Detroit, their secondary is now just as much of a problem as their run defense. If they face the Ravens it's likely to be a shootout unless subpar playoff Lamar makes his annual appearance. I'll definitely be rooting for the Steelers defense tomorrow night.

I'm not scared, that's for teens watching a horror movie.

 

I'm concerned. I'm concerned about the next opponent.

 

This week, I worry about the battle in the trenches. I am also concerned about Bo Nix versus the Bills porous secondary--it is ranked by some at number 17.

KC in Arrowhead, closely followed by Ravens in OP.  For this Bills team this year, home field seems to be a real advantage.

It’s not even an entire team, it’s one thing - the Ravens rushing attack. It’s just a bad matchup for this undersized D.
