Will Josh Allen, Sean McDermott and Bills continue domination of Miami? Dolphins radio analyst Joe Rose joins Adam and Sal Nov 01, 2024

Sean McDermott is 14-2 against the Miami Dolphins as head coach of the Bills. Josh Allen is 12-2. The rivalry has been lopsided to say the least in recent years. Tua Tagovailoa has returned at quarterback for the Dolphins (2-5) as they look to save their season against the Bills (6-2) in Orchard Park on Sunday. Dolphins radio analyst and former Miami tight end Joe Rose joins Adam and Sal for the game preview.

Amari Cooper injury, Von Miller return, Josh Allen MVP odds, and keys to Bills domination of Dolphins Oct 30, 2024

The Bills (6-2) are comfortably in command in the AFC East as they prepare to host the Miami Dolphins (2-5) Sunday. Buffalo beat Miami 31-10 back in week two, which continued a run of dominant performances in the Sean McDermott, Josh Allen era. McDermott is 14-2 against Miami as Buffalo's head coach, and Josh Allen is 12-2 during his career against the Dolphins. Could that change Sunday? Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is back for Miami, and receiver Amari Cooper is dealing with a wrist injury. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have the latest.

Josh Allen and Bills dominate in all phases in win at Seattle Oct 28, 2024

Eight games in, and it's hard to argue the Bills have put together their most complete game of the year. Josh Allen threw for two touchdowns, James Cook ran for two, the defense smothered Geno Smith and a Seattle offense that did plenty to beat itself, and the Bills rolled to a 31-10 win. Buffalo improves to 6-2, and is comfortably in command in the AFC East. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have the postgame wrap.

Can Josh Allen and Bills offense keep rolling at Seattle? Former Seahawks LB Lofa Tatupu joins Adam & Sal Oct 25, 2024

The Bills offense found a new gear with the addition of receiver Amari Cooper in scoring 34 unanswered points in the win over the Titans last week. The Seahawks bounced back with a convincing win on the road at Atlanta after three straight losses. It's an interesting match-up that features MVP candidate Josh Allen against the NFL's leading passer in Geno Smith as Buffalo (5-2) heads for Seattle (4-3) Sunday. Former Seahawks pro bowl linebacker Lofa Tatupu joined Adam and Sal for a game preview.

The early impact of receiver Amari Cooper was obvious as the Bills rallied for 34 unanswered points to beat the Titans on Sunday. Cooper caught four passes for 66 yards and a touchdown, but his presence was obviously felt and produced results for others in the passing game. Former Bills offensive lineman Jerry Ostroski joined Adam and Sal with takes on present and future of this Buffalo offense with the added dimension of Cooper.

Josh Allen, Amari Cooper, and Bills rally to beat Titans Oct 20, 2024

The Bills scored 34 unanswered points and rolled over the Tennessee Titans 34-10 on Sunday to improve to 5-2 on the year. The game was highlighted by the debut of receiver Amari Cooper who Buffalo traded for earlier this week. Cooper finished with 4 catches for 66 yards and a touchdown. Josh Allen threw for 258 of his 323 yards in the second half of his 100th career start. The Bills defense adjusted and closed the door on Mason Rudolph and the Titans in the second half.

Amari Cooper joins Josh Allen and Bills after blockbuster trade Oct 16, 2024

The Bills are off to a 4-2 start, but after moving on from Stefon Diggs in the offseason, the lack of an explosive downfield passing game has been obvious. They addressed that in a big way on Tuesday by trading with the Cleveland Browns for veteran receiver Amari Cooper. He gives the Bills a much needed threat that can stretch the field and open things up for others, cementing Buffalo's status as an AFC contender. Cooper joined the Bills on Wednesday in Orchard Park.

Josh Allen and Bills bounce back with ugly but effective win over Jets Oct 15, 2024

In some ways it was how the Bills drew it up. In many ways it was anything but. The Bills were powered by a strong running game despite the injury to James Coo and an inspired effort from Josh Allen. The defense benefitted from the return of key players and ultimately held Aaron Rodgers and the Jets at bay in a 23-20 win in East Rutherford that has the Bills at 4-2 and alone in first place in the AFC East.

Coaching, Offense, and Injuries the focus as Bills prepare for Jets (Vic Carucci joins as guest) Oct 09, 2024

Losses to Baltimore and Houston have exposed many of the Bills (3-2) shortcomings over the past couple of weeks, and now coaching is very much under fire given the way the Texans game ended. Add to that some key additions to the injury report, and the pressure and challenges mount as they prepare to face a Jets team (2-3) that just fired head coach Robert Saleh.

There's a lot to unpack with this one.

Coaching decisions prove costly as Bills fall to the Texans Oct 06, 2024

The Bills managed to run just 16 seconds off the clock on their final possession deep in their own territory. Three straight incomplete passes that allowed the Texans to ultimately win on a 59-yard field goal as time expired in a 23-20 final from Houston. We've seen this type of decision making from Sean McDermott and his assistants prove costly before as history repeated itself on that front. Buffalo falls to 2-3 after a second straight loss.
