There's a lot going for the Broncos this week and matchup. What a way to kick off their playoff run than to go up against the very team that eliminated you a year ago.

Buffalo is on short rest. They'll rest today. Practice Tue/Wed/Thursday. Fly into Denver Friday and play Saturday. Meanwhile, Denver has been getting ready since January 5th.

Buffalo is banged up. Not going to mention everyone but they have significant injuries mainly, Josh Allen and his foot. He had 11 carries for 33 yards yesterday. He's still Josh Allen and probably the best QB remaining in the postseason but he's not 100%.

It's at home. The fans have been waiting 10 years for this. Payton said last year they had to find a way to get this game at home. Job done.

Broncos are fairly healthy. Dobbins and Jones are OUT but we are one of the most healthiest rosters in the playoffs.

We have Bo Nix. Watching the games yesterday, so many mistakes. Maye had 2 picks and 3 fumbles and took 5 sacks. Nix is going to keep the Broncos and the defense in it. You can count on that. I really hope he has 50+ rushing yards.

It's going to be a great game. This will be the toughest test because if Denver wins, whoever they play in the AFCCG will be a lesser appointment than Buffalo.

See y'all in Santa Clara!!!

  2. I think the play style we’ve taken this season with those 8+ mins drives on offense will help. Shorten the game and keeping Allen off the field is the best bet.

  4. The only easy out in the playoffs this year in paper was Carolina and they played a helluva game and still almost beat the Rams. I hope we don’t get blown away like last year but last year we were a “happy to be here” team, this year we are trying to prove something. Being rested and at home should help and this year we became the win ugly team and I hope that helps this weekend.

  6. I’d much rather play Buffalo than the Texans or Chargers. Steelers would be nice as well but still they have a good defense and Rodgers is still Rodgers.

  8. I’d rather play the Bills this game, than in the AFC championship.

    I don’t get fears over playing teams, if they are the best team in the playoffs, you’re playing them at some point.

    Aside from that, I think we actually match up pretty well against them. Time will tell.

  9. As best as I can tell, for buffalo to win, Allen needs to have a GAME. If Allen doesn’t carry the team on his shoulders it should be our win. Admittedly, Allen is a beast and there aren’t a lot of QBs that are more likely to go off than Allen… but putting it all on a superstar QBs feels like less secure ground than letting our superstar defense do its thing and relying on Nix to have a B to B+ game.

  10. Seriously. Who wants the easy route? For what? To get slammed in the SB?

    Bring on the best. Bring on the greatest. May the best team win.

  13. If “styles make fights”, I feel like the style fits buffalo. A lot of tight end and running back throws that our slow LBs seem to have trouble with. Mobile QBs also tend to hurt us. But all the “intangibles” seem to favor Denver. I think the game will rest on Bo Nix throwing for 75% completion, converting 3rd down, and hitting one or two deep balls

  14. We have no business being in the postseason if we’re not fully prepared to go in and beat the Bills this week. We have the horsepower to do this thing.

    If Payton calls a good game, defense plays to its amazing potential, decent ground game opening up some pass, Lutz does his thing and sprinkle some ad hoc magic by Bo & Co. It’ll come together👊🏼

    Oh and no dumb penalties, no turnovers.

  15. If you truly Bolieve, then you shouldn’t fear any opponents! Just another team we gotta beat. Bears/Broncos Super Bowl could be very interesting.

  16. The Bills remind me a lot of last season’s Nuggets team. An all-world player that will keep you close, but no depth behind him. Still, I do like this match up because I think it will force Sean to be a little more aggressive like the Green Bay game. I think when he knows its going to be a grind it out 16-13 kind of game, we get a little too predictable in the offense.

  17. There are no easy games in the playoffs. Look at Panthers and Rams for example.

    The Chargers would have been a tough matchup because of that defense and the Bills will be a tough matchup because of Allen.

    But if this team plays up to their potential and limits the mistakes (penalties, etc.), I truly think they can come out on top. Buffalo is a good team but it also has some weaknesses that can be exploited. And Houston, a team with a similar pass rush to ours, gave Allen one of the most miserable days of his season.

  18. we beat Buffalo in Buffalo on MNF in 2023 im confused on why we’re worried loss in 2024 and have them again?

  19. To be considered the best…we have to dethrone Buffalo. Plain and simple. The national media will give us no respect until we beat Buffalo and we couldn’t ask for a better situation. We have to strap up and take this on like a road business trip. The only person on that team who can beat us is Josh Allen. Thats it..so let put a gameplan together and execute with the best team who hasn’t been given the respect we deserve. Until Saturday.

  21. Bills are a good team. You have to beat three good teams in a row to be champ. Overdogs, LFG!

  22. 1 of 3 things will happen.

    1. We beat them and prove to everyone why we deserve to be there and be the #1 seed.

    2. We lose in a close game, 1-3 points, and everyone respects the Broncos.

    3. We lose in a blow out and the narrative continues that we are frauds and are in way over our heads.

    I personally think it will be option 1 and we are off to play in the AFC Championship game.

  23. Not afraid of any team, but the only team I want the Broncos to face is the Chicago Bears. It would be the 10th anniversary of the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 team and the 40th anniversary of the Bears’ Super Bowl XX team. Bo vs. Caleb. Two 4th quarter comeback wizards. Can’t get better than that.

  24. I don’t fear anyone this year. I respect the Bills and I know they’re fully capable of beating us. I’m also confident in the Broncos and our ability to beat them as well. It’s gonna be a good game. We might lose. I expect us to win.

  25. Im just scared of that oline..hopefully that altitude gets to them but if they’re able to uphold and protect allen or open lanes for cook we in for a tough game. We see how that shit plays out when our line cant dominate how they normally should.

  26. LFG! I don’t care who we play I trust in the team! We won 14 games this shit ain’t a fluke.

  27. A year later, Broncos are bigger, faster, stronger, smarter, and hungrier than they were last year. Bills spanked them last time. Let’s get after it!

  30. Josh Allen got banged up yesterday. Cleared concussion protocol early in the game, slammed his throwing hand on a helmet, twisted his leg pretty bad the next play. Not to mention the foot injury from week 16. Not wishing injuries for anybody on either team, but hoping this leads to some minor mistakes or turnovers.
