Buffalo, and yes, Ben was terrible.

Our pass rush is simply better with Dee Ford over the RT. Dee didn't look nearly as effective play against the LT. Either rush both Ford and Houston off the right side, or swap Houston.
At least for the remainder of this season.

Our run defense is equal or worse at this point. Who is going to cover Bell in pass coverage. Wilson already can't cover average backs.
I do agree with your overall point. Swapping Mitchell for Gaines and being home instead of on the road made a huge difference in the Denver matchups. Hopefully it does the same for the POTENTIAL Pit matchup. Our pass rush however does go dormant for stretches. I suppose everyone's does. Didn't watch who was out there most of the time yesterday, but it didn't look amazing.
