  • Bills 30, Colts 20: Big plays from defense fuel fifth straight win

    The Bills defense dominated Sunday's game against the Colts from the very beginning, with Taron Johnson intercepting Joe Flacco's very first pass and returning it for a touchdown. That proved to be the theme of the day as the defense forced four turnovers and got another key fourth-down stop to secure a 30-20 win. Thad Brown and AJ Feldman discuss how the Bills took home the victory.

    While the defense wasn't perfect, allowing Jonathan Taylor to run wild in the first half, they showed up when it mattered most. It was an important game for them to step up, as the offense was without Keon Coleman, Amari Cooper, and Dalton Kincaid. The two spotlight key plays by Mack Holins and Josh Allen that powered the offense to just enough points to get the win.

    Finally, it's time for the toughest stretch of the Bills season starting with next week's game against the Chiefs. How important are the next four weeks for seeding and confidence purposes? They debate the significance of the rest of November.

  • Bills 30, Dolphins 27: Bass career renewal helps save sloppy start

    Bass wasn't the only one. We discuss all the unlikely contributors to a tight win over Miami. Plus, Kaiir Elam back in the lineup. Pretty rough day on defense. And how much the absence of Amari Cooper and Christian Benford hurt.

  • Brady bosses Ravens scheme; CB tackles have big impact

    Buffalo CBs again impressed, but tackling. Carl discusses how much that can mean across the defense. Keon Coleman got his big 1-on-1 TD, but there are questions about how he goes about winning again. Carl and Thad hit on that plus big days for James Cook and Greg Rousseau

  • Bills 31, Seahawks 10: Bills use fast start, lady luck to dominate Seahawks

    The Bills played perhaps their most complete game of the season, throttling the Seahawks 31-10 in Seattle. Thad Brown and AJ Feldman discuss all that went right in the game.

    Amari Cooper was held to just one catch, but Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman each had their best games of the season. How good can the offense be when everything is clicking?

    The defense eliminated Seattle's run game even without Terrel Bernard and one of their pass rushers was critical in setting the tone.

    While the Bills would have won this game without some fortunate bounces, everything that could have gone their way did go their way. They discuss the red zone fluke miscues by the Seahawks as well as the fumble that went the Bills way.

    A key defensive adjustment from the Bills in the second half caught Carl's eye and went a long way towards shutting down the Titans. Finally, two Bills players blocked two Titans on the same play. Thad and Carl provide well deserved flowers.

  • Bills 34, Titans 10: Instant Cooper impact follows another slow start

    Amari Cooper's debut was a big success even in a limited appearance. Thad Brown and AJ Feldman explain why Cooper was absent in one key category. They also discuss all the areas where his impact will continue.

  • Bills 23, Jets 20: Buffalo controls division after ugly win

    In between penalties, a football game was played on Monday night and the Bills came out on top. Thad Brown and AJ Feldman discuss an ugly and weird game at MetLife Stadium.

    Ray Davis emerged as the offensive standout, registering 152 yards of total offense with James Cook out with injury. How does his emergence impact the offense and how much credit does the offensive line deserve for his success?

    The defense found a way to get it done, holding the Jets to just one touchdown (other than the Hail Mary). They discuss how they were able to grind out an ugly win and punish a bad offense.

    Finally, things look a lot rosier for the Bills with their 2.5-game lead in the division. They discuss their future outlook and predict whether or not Tyler Bass will kick for the team against the Titans next week.

  • Let's Talk Ball: Josh needs blame v. Texans; Saving the safeties
