Which teams? Name the AFC contenders that it'll be "nearly impossible" for them to beat.
As currently constructed, they can go toe to toe with anyone in the AFC except the Pats. And that defense can/will at least make things difficult for the Pats, at least difficult enough that the Pats will probably only beat them by 2-3 scores.
Yup. A bad Peyton Manning is still an improvement over what many NFL teams have at QB, and they have an incredible defense. Discounting the Broncos because of who they have or haven't played is crap, they'll play as many legit teams as the Pats will this season. We'll see how they do against the Packers/Pats/Steelers but that defense will keep them in most any game this year.
Well it's Buffalo and after he and his team did all their talking after they beat the SB favorite Colts, they got punched in the mouth by the Pats and Giants, and Taylor has been shown to be another subpar QB, so nothing really to cover up there anymore.
