Numb Bills Fan Podcast | Fireballs of Raw Thought on the Buffalo Bills

 The New England Patriots came into New Era Field and beat the Buffalo Bills 20-3, Adam Deacon hosted his home to David Palermo for some catching up. What a better place to start catching up with Adam than a classic Bills Pats game review. Credit where its due, the offensive coaches came out with some new looks and a very good opening drive portraying some tricks up their sleeves keeping the Pats off balance until Tyrod Taylor’s interception. Defensively to hold the Patriots to twenty three lone points after just nine points in the first half, was super impressive. Rob Gronkowski had a very classless, quite obvious cheap shot on Tre White’s head that landed him a one game suspension after the news of Tre being in concussion protocol. Should the Bills players of retaliated, especially after being disrespected in the Saints game from Mark Ingram jumping into the stands multiple times? Again, the refs come back into play and call an unbiased, inconsistent game, made quite apparent after Gronkowski was not kicked off of the playing field. Lastly some thoughts on the quarterback position.

 Season after season Bills fans mentally concede two games to the Patriots, and season after season that concession is usually true. Over the last few days host David Palermo questioned, if there was a #BufvsNE post game podcast labeled “Of Course Bills Beat Pats, Duh,” what would of had to happen? Kevin Massare from Locked On Bills Podcast joined to help live this fantasy by breaking down many aspects of the game. How to best pressure Tom Brady in 2017,  where are the Patriots vulnerable? Is the 30th ranked Patriots run defense a real thing? Dave suggests running the cheap “Patriot” plays out of the gate to level the playing field. The truth of the lines, Kevin Breaks down both the Buffalo Bills offensive and defensive lines, player by player for a detailed review. Has the offensive and defensive line improved, where do the players rank according to Pro Football Focus? Bills linebackers have been a very interesting topic, Lorenzo Alexander played a different role versus the Kansas City Chiefs, how will he be used against the Patriots? Matt Milano has “earned the right” to take more snaps on defense, can he help neutralize Rob Gronkowski? If the Bills stop the run, force Brady to throw more; how well do the Bills defensive backs rank? Great battle, will Tre White cancel out Brandin Cooks? As always, offensively how can the Buffalo Bills get points on the board; more spread?

After an overall team game, finally the Buffalo Bills snapped a losing streak of 3 games, in Arrowhead stadium of all places. The Kansas City Chiefs have had their ups and downs this year yet always give the Bills fits. First half of bills football looked very promising with a bunch of three and outs from the Bills Defense, after extended drives from the Bills offense. Offensively the Bills second half only put three points up, does it seem coaches lack adjustments at half? Also, playoffs for now are still a real thing especially with help from the Carolina Panthers knocking off the New York Jets. Next week the New England Patriots come to New Era Field after beating the Miami Dolphins, some early thoughts on the matchup. Also some thoughts on NFL referees across the league, people are catching on.

The last few podcasts have dealt with confusion of the Buffalo Bills losses, aimed at coaches and scheme first. This podcast is about bringing the Bills we love to life, especially after Tyrod came to life against the Chargers. With Charles Clay up for a full game with Tyrod, will the pass game open the run game? What adjustments can the coaching staff make to not handcuff themselves from the start, in example we talked audibles off “loaded boxes.” Zay Jones is now a dependable receiver, package that with Andre Holmes sneaky sideline catches and Tyrod’s favorite target Clay,  Dave makes the case the offense is better developed than a few weeks ago; Jordan Mathews the x factor? Mike Mccoy, Bills original number one offensive coordinator choice, fired from the Denver Broncos; will he be on the radar for the Bills, was it a raw deal in Denver? The Bills defense has been inconsistent but there have been flashes of brightness; Kevin lends some clues on how to help fix the defense.

 Perspective from LA is called in from Jamie Kryder, also Mike Smitty joins the conference call to break down the Bills at Chargers debacle. Coaching woes continue as the LA Chargers blow out the Buffalo Bills 54-24. With 5 interceptions within the first half, the Nathan Peterman Debut showed the worst performance from an NFL quarterback since the NFL AFL merger. Tyrod Taylor came in the second half to put up some urgent points, was more decisive and the offense showed production. Defensively, the Bills were a let down and offered no help in stopping Phillip Rivers and the Chargers offense. 135 is the number of points the Bills defense has given up in the last three games of play along with 638 rushing yards for opposing teams as well. Can you name one good thing the Bills can build off of for the season? With so many holes now on the roster is it easier for the Bills to change (some or all) coaches or would you trust this regime to make the correct picks in the NFL draft? With six games left Buffalo Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott can hopefully find these answers to restore some faith in Bills fans and maybe even players.

The Wednesday after an awful performance against the New Orleans Saints, The Buffalo Bills head Coach Sean McDermott announced Nathan Peterman would be the Bills starting quarterback. Came as a surprise to many fans, and media. Nick Pap from Red Pinto tailgate joins, and reunites on air unexpectedly with fellow Brockport High School Football Alum Mike Smitty Smith. Its a small world as Bills fans, and this quarterback situation could potentially divide fans with the playoff drought ending on the line. Collectively speaking (Dave, Nick, Mike), talk how tactically this could help the Bills make the Playoffs with Peterman at the helm, and also to hopefully gain a fair assessment of the offense. Would you trust this regime to make the correct picks in the draft, if the offense does not produce and Dennison stays offensive coordinator?

#154 No Traction as Bills Lose to Jets, w. Mike "Smitty" Smith 

Mike “Smitty” Smith Joins reviewing the Buffalo Bills loss to the New York Jets in Jersey. Testing the Bills to play from behind, the Jets held on defensively with 7 sacks and winning the turnover battle handedly. Gaining traction seemed to be hard for Buffalo as an untimely fumble killed drives offensively multiple times. Offensive line struggles also reared its ugly head, yet Tyrod Taylor showed grit and lobbed the ball for over 300 yards coming from behind.
