33: Episode 93 - Bills offensive woes return in loss to Ravens
Dec 09, 2019
Show notes
The Buffalo Bills fell to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday at New Era Field, 24-17. It certainly wasn't the Bills finest game, offensively, but there is a lot of optimism and growth than can come from a loss like this. No, this isn't the Bills first loss in 2019. The reason that this loss feels differently though, is that the Bills hung tough with the NFL's finest team. The Ravens offense has been one of the most explosive forces in 2019, and have been a delight to watch as a fan. The Bills defense contained the young and very spry Lamar Jackson on the ground, perhaps laying a blueprint for a future team, or even themselves, to continue to restrict Jackson"s scrambling ability. The problem though, is that Lamar Jackson can throw pretty well, and in tight spaces. Lamar torched the Bills secondary on a blown coverage touchdown to Hayden Hurst, and several mid-range passes, but overall, the defense did it's job. Held the hottest and one of the highest scoring offenses to a reasonable score. Unfortunately, the offense couldn't take advantage. The team is already looking ahead, as they have a big Sunday Night Football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team that is also currently in the playoff picture, and looking to improve their spot. The Bills have a competitive, but not overwhelming final three game stretch, including a Patriots team, that of course shouldn't be overlooked, but is not having their best season in quite some time, despite their record.
32: Episode 92 - Bills/Ravens Analysis with Sean Grogan of Cecil Whig
Dec 06, 2019
Show notes
Baltimore is one of the most perplexing offenses in the NFL at this time. Their style of a run heavy offense with a dual-threat QB in Lamar Jackson is not uncommon, but the way that it's executed has never quite been seen before. The way that the team sells it's trickery, misdirection, and plays in general has challenged and confused every team in it's way so far. Buffalo is an enigma though. A resilient team that has been in an uphill battle all season, on and off of the field. Facing criticism from many for a schedule that's out of their control, doubts about Josh Allen, coaching, and more. They've risen to the occasion, and are one of the best teams in the AFC and NFL currently. They are certainly chomping at the bit for this opportunity to cement their place along with the greats in 2019. Joining Matt for this episode, are a few sports journalists. Firstly, the Managing Editor of Billswire, Nick Wojton. Secondly, a friend and colleague of Nick's from college, Sean Grogan, who covers the Baltimore Ravens for Cecil Whig via cecildaily.com, to discuss the various aspects, story lines, and more for this huge AFC match up.
31: Episode 91 - What will the Bills have to do to get win over Baltimore?
Dec 05, 2019
Show notes
This Sunday has a big game feel to it. Sure, the Bills just defeated the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, with the National Spotlight firmly on them, but there is something special about this game against Baltimore. How do you game plan for a team of the caliber and level that the Ravens are playing at right now? It's not as easy as it would seem. The Ravens offense is unique, and it's key piece, the sophomore sensation Lamar Jackson, is having an MVP-caliber season. His speed, combined with his growing passing ability, and the offensive units ability to sell fake out plays, has stumped the best defensive coordinators across the NFL, including one of the greatest minds in pro football history, Bill Belichick. The challenge is one that the Bills are certainly up for, and another opportunity to prove that they're for real. The coordinators and players have their work cut out for them. In this episode, podcast hosts Matt and Jeremy examine what they believe that the Bills have to do to try and slow down one of the fastest offenses running in the NFL.

30: Episode 90 - Bills win big in national spotlight
Nov 29, 2019
Show notes
The Buffalo Bills won big on Thanksgiving, landing their first "statement win", against the Dallas Cowboys with the world watching. Buffalo, for the last 20 years, has been a team that collapsed when the national spotlight was placed on them, but this was different. Buffalo delivered in a big way, and embarrassing the Cowboys, in their home stadium, and in a game that they have played in every year, since the 1960's. I'll admit, that it was strange to watch the Bills in a scenario like this, and a player in a Bills jersey eating a turkey leg to close out the game. The offense fired on all cylinders, with Josh Allen moving the ball efficiently, by air, connecting with Cole Beasley, who was out for revenge against his former team. Devin Singletary caught a touchdown pass himself, as well as dominating on the ground. Allen looked like the franchise quarterback that Buffalo has long awaited, for the first time. It was certainly a defining game. The Bills defense handled itself well. Giving up touchdowns to Dallas on their first and last possessions only, they did well, disrupting the number one ranked offense in the NFL. Dak Prescott, in an important contract situation this season, turned the ball over several times. He had defenders in his face all night, and even Ezekiel Elliott couldn't get anything going. Buffalo looked good when the lights shined bright, but what lays in front of them is another challenge, in the form of the red hot Baltimore Ravens. It's hard to not try and enjoy this win against Dallas on a special occasion. With 10 days to prepare for the offensive onslaught that Lamar Jackson has brought against the best of the NFL, there is a lot more work that has to be done before the real celebrating can commence.

29: Episode 89 - Bills succeed in all three phases for win over Denver
Nov 25, 2019
Show notes
The Buffalo Bills won their second straight game to improve to 8-3 on the season for the first time since 1996. It was a remarkable game, with the team displaying proficiency in all three phases of football that put up points and yardage on a top defense, halting a strong run offense, and did it's job on special teams. Denver had played much better than it's record until this point, and they hit an absolute brick wall at New Era Field. The Bills defense only allowed 167 yards of total offense today, shutting down talented running backs Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. In fact, it seemed that Broncos play calling didn't aim to target Buffalo's sketchy run defense in the second half, as they became very pass happy and one dimensional. In the Broncos closest venture towards the end zone, they could not get the job done as Tre'Davious White was essentially handed an interception. The offense did well, aside from a bad Josh Allen interception that gave Denver some of the best field positioning that they had all day. 244 yards on the ground, again dominated by Devin Singletary. However, the big news was that, Frank Gore, the journeyman running back, passed Barry Sanders to become third all-time in rushing yards. A tremendous accomplishment, and extra satisfying that it happened with him wearing a Bills jersey. Buffalo prepares for Dallas on a short week for this Thursday, as the Bills play their first Thanksgiving game in many years. The quick turnaround has affected many teams this year, not being allowed to play to their full potential. Everyone is already hard at work at One Bills Drive to ensure the Bills are prepared for their latest National Spotlight opportunity. Podcast Hosts Matt and Jeremy examine the win over Denver, and the road to Dallas.

28: Episode 88 - Has the Bills offense made a turnaround?
Nov 18, 2019
Show notes
The Buffalo Bills went down to Miami and took care of the business, squishing the "fish"(mammals) in their second encounter of the season with a score of 37 - 20. It was the most points accrued by this Bills offense all season, and they shined in all aspects. Mustached Daboll got it done. Despite what their record may say, Miami was a valiant team, and had been riding high on a two game win streak, but the Bills slowed them down. There were a few moments where the Dolphins had opportunities to take over the game, but they could not capitalize. Miami only attempted to rush a mere 13 attempts for 23 yards, a questionable decision since rushing up the middle worked to their advantage in the first encounter. The offense for Buffalo was essentially fan service against Miami, and the Bills social media crowd got their way. Devin Singletary was the primary running back, getting key downs and leading the rushing yardage. Josh Allen heaved the ball around, hitting John Brown for two touchdown passes, further cementing Brown's roster spot for years to come. Brown, who many have only viewed as "just a deep ball guy" has shown that he can be the WR1 that the team has desperately needed for a long time. Billswire Podcast Hosts Matt Johnson and Jeremy Juhasz explore the big win in Miami, and looking ahead toward Denver next week.
