The Buffalo Bills lost to the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 37-5 on Sunday, which dropped their record to 2-5 on the season.

Joe Buscaglia and Matthew Fairburn discuss both that, and the job of Brian Daboll to this point in their newest episode. Plus, a 'Come on, Darlene' segment that won't soon be forgotten thanks to special guest Tim Graham.

The Buffalo Bills, now 2-4 on the season, head back on the road one more time -- only this time without rookie quarterback Josh Allen steering the ship on offense.

What might the offense look like with him, and do they have a chance at a win? Also, Joe Buscaglia and Matthew Fairburn discuss Josh Allen and the area of his game, through five games, that needs the most refinement. Not to mention, a Bills-Colts prediction!
