2: Episode 61 - Not ABout Buffalo
Mar 08, 2019
Show notes
Buffalo Bills fans woke up to some big news this morning! First, that Antonio Brown was being traded to Buffalo, as reported by Ian Rapoport late last night, then reports that it was false, and that Brandon Beane had ceased negotiations with Pittsburgh for the Very Talented and Boisterous Wide Receiver. In hindsight, it was probably a blessing in disguise. There have been mixed reactions all day concerning Antonio Brown, and his own reaction to be trading to Buffalo further backs up the "Diva" aura that surrounds him. As heartbreaking as it is to not have his talent in Orchard Park, the locker room may be better off for it.
1: Episode 60 : Draft Memories
Feb 16, 2019
Show notes
It's been a slow off-season. Trades aren't allowed to process until the middle of March, and the 2019 NFL Draft is still a few months away. It's well known that Kyle Williams playing days are done, and it brings up the question. How many Homegrown/groomed has Buffalo produced through the draft, since the beginning of the former Playoff Drought? It's not a great percentage, as many draft picks floundered completely, or eventually made their strides for other teams. In this Episode of the Billswire podcast, Matt runs through every name drafted by the Buffalo Bills since the 2000 NFL Draft, bringing back memories of good picks, bad picks, and missed opportunities.
Episode 59: Catching up with Bills LB Lorenzo Alexander
Feb 02, 2019
Show notes
Host Jeremy Juhasz got a chance to chat with Bills LB Lorenzo Alexander to get his thoughts on his new one-year pact with the team and how he believes the locker room is set to make a run next season.
Episode 58 - Offseason Review and Predictions w/ Matt and Jeremy
Jan 21, 2019
Show notes
The off-season has been relatively quiet in Buffalo, at least the week or so. I'm sure that General Manager Brandon Beane and staff are working incredibly hard in their offices, waiting for the completion of the Super Bowl to implement whatever plan that they have to use their valuable cap space. The rebuild is one of great importance. Jobs are on the line if Josh Allen does not pan out. While it may not seem like a big deal, because people lose jobs all of the time in the NFL, but, for an organization trying to get it's footing and to be among the league's greats, stability is key. There is a lot on the line with our soon to be sophomore QB. Build the offensive line with the draft and garner weapons with Cap Space? Or vice versa. Matt and Jeremy give their theories, and then some in this week's episode of the BillsWire Podcast
Episode 57 : Bills Stadium Survey and Renovation vs New Stadium Thoughts
Jan 14, 2019
Show notes
This Past Week, in a relatively slow week of news, the Buffalo Bills signed a former CFL Wide Receiver, Duke Williams, who happens to be the one of the best CFL WR's statistically. Last Season with the Edmonton Eskimos, he finished with 1,579 Receiving Yards on the Season. Hopefully, we can see that type of performance and a chemistry with Josh Allen next season. Also, this past week, the Bills sent out a survey concerning a new or renovated Stadium. It's a relatively in depth survey, which should take roughly 5 minutes to take, but for episode's sake, Matt discusses every question asked. There are pros and cons to every angle, every aspect when discussing any stadium talk. Renovating New Era Field or Building a New Stadium? Making it Open Air, or Indoor? With a retractable roof? Keeping it in Orchard Park or moving it elsewhere? So many possibilities. So many differing opinions. If you haven't taken the survey yet, a quick google search will guide your way, and make your voice or opinion heard.
Episode 56: Conversation with OL Jeremiah Sirles
Jan 09, 2019
Show notes
Host Jeremy Juhasz chats with Jeremiah SIrles. Sirles, now a free agent, spent 2018 as a player who got more time as the season went along. The two talked about his time in Buffalo and the prospects of a return to Orchard Park in 2019.
Episode 55: Personnel Releases and Nick Wojton's 13 Things to Look to in the Offseason
Jan 07, 2019
Show notes
The First week of Buffalo's Off Season saw the release of 3 Personnel! OL Coordinator Juan Castillo, WR Coach Terry Robiskie, and much anticipated Special Teams Coach Danny Crossman. All 3 were some of Buffalo's weakest points this season. The Offensive Line could not protect Josh Allen adequately, and only enabled our star RB LeSean McCoy an average of 3.2 yards per carry, a career low. The Wide Receiving Core was an interchangeable mix, with some shining stars in Zay Jones, Isaiah McKenzie and Robert Foster. Special Teams has also not helped put Buffalo in winning situations at all this year. Change was needed. Matt reviews Nick Wojton's article earlier this week on the 13 Things to Look for in the Offseason, which was incredibly well detailed. There are a lot of check marks that need to be taken going forward into the next season.
Episode 54 : Kyle Williams retires with a Win
Dec 31, 2018
Show notes
The 2018-19 Buffalo Bills Campaign has come to an end. With nothing to gain, as well as nothing to lose, the Bills finished the best possible way that they could, and that was a dominant victory at home against the Miami Dolphins, 42-17. Most importantly, this was Kyle WIlliams last time on an NFL Field. His last time playing at New Era Field, and most importantly, his last time donning a Buffalo Bills uniform. An amazing way to go out, with his first career catch. The Offense and Defense shined on this day. Josh Allen with 5 Touchdowns, 3 by air and 2 on the ground. LeSean McCoy got a rushing TD as well. Defensively, 2 turnovers on the day. An interception from Tremaine Edmunds, and another from Tre White. It is now off season mode for GM Brandon Beane, and this one will define his legacy as Bills GM. With one of the biggest Cap Space volumes, he has to make important pickups to bolster his team, especially offensively. Only time will tell.

Ep. 53: Longest Tenured Bill, Kyle Williams, Will Hang 'em Up
Dec 28, 2018
Show notes
A thirteen-year veteran of the NFL, Kyle Williams announced via the Bills in a statement that his final game as a pro will come Sunday against Miami. A beloved player, Williams will finish his career on his own terms in front of the fans at New Era Field. So how does this impact the team moving into 2019? Listen to find out.
Episode 52: The More That Things Change, The More That They Stay The Same
Dec 24, 2018
Show notes
The Buffalo Bills went in to Foxborough with aspirations of a victory, but ultimately left in defeat. While this is a result that we have seen all to often, Matt Johnson thinks that the dynasties best days are way behind them. In time, Josh Allen will have a team around him that can compete with the best New England has put forth, but not this day. The growing pains of a rookie NFL QB were ever apparent in Week 16. Between dropped passes and costly turnovers, Buffalo's offense struggled. Defensively, the Patriots run game dominated, putting up 273 yards and 2 TDs, while gaining a mere 126 yards passing, and 1 TD, an unlikely stat line for the 41 year old Tom Brady. The Bills came through on a few turnovers, putting Stephen Hauschka in prime position for 2 Field Goals. Next week, the Bill's close their 2018-19 campaign at New Era Field against Division Rival, Miami Dolphins, who are also out of Playoff Contention now after a loss to Jacksonville this week. Hopefully, Bills Mafia will be "Shout"-ing to end the season on a high note. ( Bills vs Patriots Commentary Credit belongs to the NFL and CBS)
