Roles have reversed. After a generation of the New England Patriots (and Tom Brady) tormenting the Buffalo Bills, the AFC East has been running through Western New York five straight years.

Not even those Jim Kelly-, Thurman Thomas-, Bruce Smith-, Andre Reed-powered Super Bowl teams earned five straight division crowns.

Yet, there’s renewed hope in Foxborough. Mike Vrabel knows exactly what he wants on this roster and has rapidly, dramatically created a new identity. Games against his Patriots promise to be rock fights.

With free agency and the draft complete, it’s a perfect time for a joint podcast with our good friend, the excellent Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston and The Next Pats Podcast.

We talk Bills… and my 1 on 1 with GM Brandon Beane that’ll be available to subscribers very soon. (We got into everything.)

We talk Patriots… will Drake Maye follow the Josh Allen trajectory?

I really enjoyed this conversation, right on through our psychological breakdown of Bill Belichick.
