The coaching carousel is in full swing in the NFL and two of our very own have departed to New Jersey. Have been seeing a lot of mixed emotions about people leaving and firing the head coach.  All I can say is get used to it and learn to Embrace Destination Buffalo because we have built it and no they will come. This organization is now a blueprint for turning around a franchise and players, coaches, and front office of those teams are always going to be on the radar. This week on the Nerd we highlight the John Fiore Foundation, a Western New York foundation that took a terrible tragedy and turned it into a legacy of good.

It was an epic battle, and we came up short. Josh Allen continued to showcase how fortunate we are he is a Buffalo Bill. The suffocating defense from previous games didn't appear, and here e are doing closing press conferences. This will be tough to shallow like all the others, but this time remember that the Future is Very Bright in Buffalo, and we have turned a corner towards a perennial playoff team. JA 17 will win a Super Bowl; I truly believe that! This week on the Nerd, I wanted to highlight Crisis Text Line.

Back to Back AFC EAST Champs for the first time since 91'. This was a weird and clunky game at times for the offense.

Dominance is a word that comes to mind. Week Sixteen was the best showing the Bills have had all season in my eyes. JA 17 was MVP caliber, the entire offense looked unshakeable. Stone cold defense again held the "SuperStar" Mac Jones in check. Special teams did show up even though they were barely needed.

This is the first time in weeks all three phases supported each other in a team win. Finally, the offense seemed to remember that they could be successful against good defenses. This week, the defense found a little extra by sending some different guys, and the special teams held up their end. The much needed win is in the books and now onto the massive showdown with NE for the Divsion lead. All things Bills at www.buffalowdown.com and all things NERD at www.thebuffalonerd.com  Go Bills!

Week fifteen is here and all we want for Christmas is a Bills four-game winning streak! That is getting a little ahead of myself. How about a Bills victory at home in a must win game against a formidable team.  What will it take to get the train a rolling into the playoffs? Allen set to play, left tackle now a question mark, and a defense that limits the pass. Thoughts on what it will take on all three phases to enrege with a much needed win.

If you left at halftime, I am not sure anyone would have blamed you. It looked like we were about to let Tom Brady make us look incredibly foolish yet again. The only difference this time around is that number 17 has no quit in his body, broken or not. Josh Allen willed us to an opportunity despite some missed opportunities, bad play calls, and blind refs. Allow this was not the result we wanted or probably should haven't gotten in this case, but we responded, and there are four left to get in the playoffs.  All three phases, per the norm! https://pod.link/1552644747 All things Bills at www.buffalowdown.com and all things NERD at www.thebuffalonerd.com Support the show: https://www.thebuffalonerd.com/donations/support/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Week fourteen brings in a familiar foe for the Bills. No one player has haunted an organization as much as Tom Brady has to the Bills. He has dashed our hopes and dreams so many times. This week needs to be different. A second loss this late will be tough to overcome. It is not the end of the world, but if there was anyone time to beat Brady, it is this week, and maybe again in the Super Bowl!  The keys on all three phases for the Bills to bounce back and get the train rolling got the playoffs. This week we highlight two organizations in the WNY community. First, Community Action for Wyoming County, specifically the Angel Action Division. This is a prime example of the Bills Mafia having each others back as the folks of this organization support their local community in Wyoming County. Head to https://communityactionforwyomingcounty.com/ to check them out and all that they do. Secondly, coming from a small town myself this hit home. The Perry Center Fire Department is like many other small town Fire Departments who are volunteered based. Your local friends and family are those that show up in your times of need. Talk about Mafia mentality. Sacrafisicng themselves for their local communities is an incredible gesture and should be hihglited.

Well, it was a big-time matchup for the division, and it didn't end the way we had hoped. This one stings as it is an old foe, and it was for a crown that we fought so hard to get. But, by no means is it over, and the NFL proves that every week. This team still can ride into the sunset; they are just making it a lot harder on themselves with "sloppy football."

Week eleven is right around the corner and this week there is a big showdown in Buffalo that will have a big impact on the AFC playoff picture. This week I breakdown what it is going to take to get past the Colts. We struggled to close out in the playoffs, they have an incredible running back, and Bill's o-line is beaten up again with Spencer Brown out.

Well, it was definitely not what we were expecting, and it was ugly to watch, but it is not the end of the world. So this week on the phase report, a little breakdown into some offensive fails, some great moments for the defense, and even an uptick from the special teams. All and all, this was not what we wanted, but there is still a lot of football to be played, and the Bills still have a great opportunity ahead of them starting this week with the Jets.   Make sure to look out for the Friday preview show with JSpencetheKing of Buffalo Rumblings.

Well, it was not pretty through the entirety of the game, but in the end, the troops rallied and found a way to secure what ended up looking like a dominant win. The offense continued to try and find its way, and the dominant defense showed up yet again.

He has been the voice on the radio you have been listening to for the past seventeen years, and He goes by John , not Mr. Murphy. The play by play man on Buffalo Bills radio, that intoxicating voice that brings you the news you have been waiting for.  This week on the NERD we chat the past, the present,and the future with the man who has been around or covering the team since 84'. Truly a pleasure and an honor to hear some of the insight from being so close to the good and the bad of the past.

Week 6 is in the books, and for some, you may be saying "Thank God" after watching such a heartbreaking loss to the Titans. It was not pretty at times and did not end the way Bills Mafia would have hoped. In this week's phase report, we discuss how each phase played, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Despite a terrible loss, it is not all doom and gloom. The Bills will be okay and are still a contender. However, the AFC is not going to be easy, plain, and straightforward.

A Monday Night Football showdown with the Tennessee Titans brought in Terry McCormick of TitansInsider.com. He has been on the beat of the Titans since 97' and brings an insider perspective as we head into this week's matchup.  To get things started, we highlight Operation Christmas Child. A very cool organization whose mission is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to children in need worldwide. You can head to SamaritansPurse.org and find out more about the program and how you can help. Before we get into the week six matchup between the Bills and the Titans, Terry and I talk about the week to gauge how each team enters this week. Next, we hit the offense, defense, and Terry gives a little insight into how he thinks this week may play out. Finally, he provides a deep dive into where the Titans are heading this week. They will have a complete offensive unit for the first time in a while. In closing, I get Terry's input on how the AFC is shaking out so far and who we may see making runs down the road. Bills win in a relatively close battle is the conscious coming out of the show.

Week Five is in the books, and the Bills improved to 4-1 with a sensational win in Kansas City on Sunday Night Football. It was a complete team win with all three phases contributing and dealing with adversity in the rain, a hostile crowd, and bad referees.  Just another win was the sentiment this week out of players, and rightfully so, there is a long way to go, but what an excellent building block win for this team and franchise. I go through all three phases and give credit where credit is due.
