The Buffalo Bills are 1-3 through the first 25-percent of the 2018 season, and rather than focusing on just the week ahead, Joe Buscaglia and Matthew Fairburn discuss the broader points of where this regime for the Bills is at currently. It starts with a conversation about Kelvin Benjamin, and then extends into the concept of culture, roster building, and the decisions they've made to this point. Plus, a preview and prediction of the Week 5 matchup with the Tennessee Titans

After a Week Three victory that no one expected, we saw the Buffalo Bills come back on the road in Week Four with a loss that was closer to their first two games of the 2018 season. The defense held their own after the first few series, but the offense was nowhere to be found. Joe Buscaglia and Matthew Fairburn take a deep dive into the offensive problems, and bring on a special guest to discuss it all, too.

Joe Buscaglia and Matthew Fairburn discuss that at length in the mid-week episode, along with how the Bills stack up against the Minnesota Vikings.
