Nate, Mike & Jon discuss the Buffalo Bills losing to the New York Jersey Jets, 27-23 at New Era Field in another game that goes down to the final drive! We discuss the play of Josh Allen (did he make any progress today?), the lack of late hit penalties called by the referees on Allen and Stephen Hauschka, the ineptitude of the special teams as a unit (led by coach Danny Crossman), Zay Jones becoming the Zay Jones of 2017 and rediscovering the “Yips,” and more creative play-calling by Brian Daboll. As always, we give our Stats of the Game, name our Wall of Famers, and discuss our Wall of Blamers. The future is bright, even with a loss! Go Bills!

In this Bonus Podcast, we discuss the release of Kelvin Benjamin making way for younger guys from the Practice Squad to make an impact in the last 4 weeks of the regular season. One of those players is Rookie DE Mike Love, who just became part of the Buffalo Bills 53 man roster.

Sidenote: Have you ever noticed that some of the most compelling parts of Sports is the stories behind the athletes? Where they come from, who they are, and what they've overcome?

Bills DE Mike Love (6'-3" 255lbs) has that kind of a compelling story. In these two interviews (one in the middle of OTAs, and one before the fourth and final preseason game), we talk a lot about Mike's background. His life follows a similar storyline to the movie "The Blind Side", without all of the Hollywood script-editing. He came from a humble background-- a single mother with 4 young boys to take care of, but no authority to keep him line. He created a friendship with his friend Dalton Martinez, saw his family structure and knew that if he could be a part of something like that, he might not go down the wrong path. With his mother's permission, he moved in with the Martinez family, got his grades up, made Honor Roll, played well in high school football and had multiple scholarship offers from Division 1 colleges. In college at USF, he overcame injuries (surgeries on both knees and his foot), got his Master's Degree at USF, and went undrafted. With the support of both of his families, he's had to work hard to get to this point in his career, and after our discussions, it's not difficult to see why he's gotten the opportunity that he has this season... that few ever get.

He also discusses his skillset as a Defensive End, the Bills coaching and personnel staff, the "Playoff-Caliber" Culture and Respecting the Process in the locker room, what a day is like as a Bills player, what other players have told him about the Bills Mafia, and talks a little about some guys on the team like Josh Allen. He's an easy guy to root for, and we hope you will all be looking for him Sunday and in the future! Go Bills!

In this bye week episode, we thought it would be a good time to talk with Chris Trapasso from CBS Sports and The Buffalo News (and formerly with Buffalo Rumblings) to discuss the 2019 NFL Draft, which the Bills currently hold the 6th overall pick.

We discuss a number of items including how/when Chris forms his Draft Board— how important the college regular season, bowl games, Senior Bowl, and Combine are for forming final draft grades on each prospect. We discuss which positions seem have depth and which positions could be weak in the 2019 Draft, are there any “Elite” prospects, do you draft for need or BPA (Best Player Available), what the Bills’ biggest positional needs are, the prospects available at number 6 the Bills can’t pass up even if they don’t fit a need, thoughts on Josh Allen starting Week 12 vs Matt Barkley starting, GM Brandon Beane and how his 2018 Draft Class has turned out so far, how the 2018 season has gone so far, and what direction the Bills’ coaching staff and organization is headed in! Whew.

Draft Prospects discussed: Nick Bosa, Ed Oliver, Jonah Williams, Greedy Williams, Ryan Finley, Will Grier, A. J. Brown, N'Keal Harry.

I also give a quick personal note about being a Dad and how great it is pass down your Bills fandom from generation to generation. Happy Thanksgiving, and please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts (see link below). We’ll talk to you after the Bills game next week! Go Bills!
