Bills Wire Podcast

The guys take a mock draft breather and play “Hit or Miss” with the Bills’ seven-player draft class from 2020. Is third-round RB Zack Moss a hit or a miss? Also, some thoughts on this year’s draft. Should the Bills be feeling any added pressure to get this thing right?

With the Jets getting ready to select their next quarterback No. 2 overall, the Dolphins strategically building through the draft, and the Patriots feverishly building through free agency, the Bills suddenly find themselves leading a hot division entering 2021. The guys discuss the state of the AFC East, the latest mock drafts for the Bills at No. 30, and the franchise’s long-winded new stadium name.

The Bills moved on from WR John Brown but quickly filled the void by landing veteran Emmanuel Sanders, formerly of the Saints, on a 1-year deal. The guys react to that and the Bills’ other key moves in free agency, and preview what could be coming next during the second wave of signings.

The Bills spent much of the NFL’s legal tampering period coming to terms with their own key free agents. They’re bringing back Jon Feliciano and Daryl Williams on the offensive line, and also agreed to a long-term deal with LB Matt Milano, who likely would have gotten a bigger payday elsewhere. The guys react to those moves, and look ahead to what could be coming next during the official start of the new league year.

The Bills continue to invest in their secondary, agreeing to a two-year extension with safety Micah Hyde. The guys react to Hyde’s new deal, the team’s decision not to franchise tag LB Matt Milano, and discuss what Dak Prescott’s new monster deal with Dallas means for the soon-to-be-paid Josh Allen.

J.J. Watt to the Bills? It sounded like a perfect fit, didn’t it? The Bills are building a Super Bowl contender. Pass rush is a need. Watt wants to play for a winner. So why would the former Houston Texans star pick … the Arizona Cardinals? In the return of the Bills Wire Podcast for the 2021 season, the guys give their take on Watt and discuss the team’s top areas of need entering the official start of free agency.

There’s plenty of blame to go around for the players and coaches after the Bills were outclassed by Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game. But there’s a clear silver lining: Maybe this Bills team, which has been building momentum in past seasons, arrived ahead of schedule in 2020. The guys vent over some poor play and questionable coaching, but also reflect on a great run that saw the Bills dominate the AFC East and win two playoff games behind Josh Allen’s breakout season. With the core of the team under contract for 2021, a more confident and motivated Bills team is poised to be back contending for years.

The Bills responded against the Ravens, making life miserable for Lamar Jackson thanks to a championship-like performance from the defense. Now comes the real test. The Bills will go on the road and face Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. For all the steps Josh Allen and these Bills have taken this season, are they ready for this next great challenge? The guys discuss all that and more in Episode 21 of the Bills Wire podcast, which is powered by the USA Today Sports Media Group with sports betting advice for the NFL playoffs from the Sportsbook Wire.

The Bills advanced past the Colts on wild-card weekend. That’s the good news. The bad is that those hoping to avoid red-hot Baltimore in the second round of the playoffs had their dreams dashed by upset-minded Cleveland. The Browns’ win over Pittsburgh sends the Ravens to Buffalo for a can’t-miss second-round playoff game. Can the Bills slow down Lamar Jackson and a Ravens team that hasn’t lost in six games? Can Josh Allen continue to play at an elite level after securing his first playoff win as a starter. The guys tackle all that and more in anticipation for Saturday night’s epic showdown.
