Bo Nix and the Bronco's Defense - the Toughest Out for the Bills?

[jethro_tull]

Have to admit they convincingly stifled the Packers yesterday and their O looks clean and systematic.  They did beat the Eagles and Texans, but not much else.  They don't score many points but give up even fewer.  Best in the league at stops on third down. 

Are they the biggest threat to get past?  

Scare anyone?

Houston is the toughest matchup, but I still think buffalo would gut it out at home... On the road would be very difficult 

 

I believe we can run on Denver and I don't trust Bo nix in the playoffs 

 

Denver is a little bit inflated

The version of the Bills that showed up yesterday can beat anyone.

Houston and Denver.  No one gets after the QB like those 2 teams.  I wish we could do that.

I still think it’s probably the Texans…could be just a me thing but I think nix is pretty limited in reading a defense etc…stroud may be that also but better defense and Nico collins is a win the game all by himself kinda receiver 

jax has quietly been good too

The thing is their d ends are smaller so I would think we would go 13 personnel and run right at them.

I hated everything I saw from Denver yesterday as a matchup. Their D is ALL over the field, they have a bunch of playmakers and they have a WR corps - not a ton of household name - that goes and gets the ball.

I didn’t see the game yesterday, but every time I see a Sean Payton team, it’s a bunch of 5-yard passes. Did they throw downfield more?

At least we have a chance to play the Texans at home.  Not so with the Broncs.....

Sorry I’m way more scared of the Ravens. Ravens are playoff tested and are now getting hot again. They will be a tough out, especially if we have to go on the road.

Just look at this box score with their WRs alone...

The Ravens are getting hot again?

 

They beat a Bengals team playing for nothing and their QB checked out.

 

The week before they lost to the Steelers at home.

 

That’s getting hot?

I think, for me, the Broncos are easily the toughest matchup.  Their defense is easily the strongest - from pash rush and secondary, they’re solid!    I agree with others their offense doesn’t set the house on fire, but they’re efficient.  
 

Texans have a tough D, yes. But we’ve played them and I just think that gives us a bit more of a comfort zone in what to expect and game plane for.  Similar to the Ravens.    
 

Although we can lose to any of these teams as we’ve seen, we can also beat any of these teams.  The Chiefs were the only team that I think just got into the Bills’ heads.

Every team in the playoffs right now is a "they COULD beat us, but I'd bet on us".

 

Jags - unproven

Patriots - just beat them

Denver - We whooped them last year, and their defense hasn't played a Josh Allen yet this year

Steelers - cmon

Chargers - Playoff chokers

Houston - we will likely have the better record, bring them into cold Buffalo and let's see what happens

 

And if somehow Indy makes it in, I'm very comfortable dealing with them

 

Ravens? Lamar is a shell and Henry wont run as well

 

No excuses - Bills will be favored in any matchup against these teams - home or away

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

Nah Denver has no running game, Nix has a passer rating in the high 80s and we've proven that scoring on that D is doable for us. For me it's Houston easily.

Even if Buffalo doesn't win the East, entering the playoffs, I bet we would be favored to win the AFC.

Jaguars have the defense to contend with us and unlike any other team on that list have am offense that can keep up with us controlling the clock, running the ball, etc 

 

Their offense is a lot like ours for the results and effectiveness (or ineffectiveness).

Going to Denver or Houston and winning will require a near perfect game.

If we had Dabols offense,Like we did the last time we played them in Denver, I would feel better about it

Thats ugly for us matchup wise.  Only way would be to get to Nix often and hit him hard.
