The Bills have 13 defensive linemen under contract for 2021 and only one pending free agent, but there are still plenty of decisions to be made. I go over all of them. Also, Patriots fans need to stop claiming Tom Brady's Super Bowl win as their own, and remembering Marty Schottenheimer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bills offensive line could look drastically different next season due to free agency and financial decisions. I break it all down, plus my reaction to Super Bowl LV, why some Bills fans are overreacting, and if the Bills might be the Bucs home opener in 2021. And I have some questions about WandaVision.

A defensive touchdown overruled, a dropped interception, a missed wide open receiver downfield for a would-be TD, two missed field goals.  Many of the ways the Bills could have should have beaten the Browns, but failed and lost 19-16 to drop to 6-3. I talk about all of that, but also one of the greatest goalline stands you'll ever see, Levi Wallace's and Stephen Hauschka's struggles, and the maddening end-of-game sequence that was the cause for a lot of frusration for Bills fans afterward. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

The Bills moved to 6-2 for the first time since 1993, their last Super Bowl season, after a 24-9 win over the Washington Redskins. Devin Singletary took over the lead role in the Bills' backfield for the first time, the offense put togerher a terrific first drive, and the team never looked back.  It wasn't without it's tough moments, including an inability to stop veteran running back Adrian Peterson early on.  Hear my thoughts on all of that and more. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

The Bills suffered their worst loss of the season in week 8 at home against the Eagles, losing 31-13 and dropping to 5-2 on the season.  Eagles running back Miles Sanders had the long touchdown run to break the game open, but there were several other key plays and moments that stood out and made a difference, including a critical three-minute span to end the first half and begin the second, which saw the Bills go from leading to trailing by ten points.  Hear my observations and thoughts from the game. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

The 4-1 Bills beat the winless (0-5) Miami Dolphins, 31-21, but it certainly wasn't easy and even got a bit scary for a while, especially when they trailed 14-9 late in the third quarter and the Dolphins had a first and goal from the Bills' 2-yard line. But that's when everything changed not only in the game, but maybe even for the Bills' entire season.  Tre'Davious White made his true arrival on the national stage, and Micah Hyde had a play to remember to seal the win. Here are my observations and thoughts from the game, including a Dolphins' fan friend who experienced a game at New Era Field for the first time. I also tell you why Buffalo is one of the best cities to live in the country if you're looking for day trips to make.

The Bills rebounded after their loss to the Patriots to beat the Titans 14-7 in Nashville, where Bills fans absolutely took over for the weekend.  Wide receiver Duke Williams made his NFL debut in a huge way, the kicking game played a major factor, and the Bills went to the bye 4-1 and on track to have a playoff season. Here are my observations and thoughts from the game, including what the weekend was like with so many Bills fans, and the best kneel-down to end a game.

The Bills suffered their first loss of the season, 16-10 at home to the New England Patriots, to drop to 3-1 and keep the Patriots undefeated (4-0).  Here are my observations and thoughts from the game, including a pregame coaching confrontation, a player who sealed his fate in a Bills uniform, and the many ways the Bills had chances to take the lead but couldn’t.

The Bills beat the Bengals 21-17 in their home opener to go to 3-0 and set up a huge game with the undefeated Patriots in week four.  Here are my observations and thoughts from the game, which included the full Josh Allen Experience, as well as some wild plays that played a major role in the outcome.

The Bills beat the Giants, 28-14, to go to 2-0 on the new season, in the same stadium they had just beaten the Jets one week before.  Here are my observations and thoughts from the game, as well as some intersting happenings in the week leading up to it.  I also share my thoughts on the death of George Floyd and what's happening across the country right now.

The first installment of a series looking back on the 2019 Buffalo Bills season, game-by-game, telling you about different things I remember from the week leading up to the game and sights and sounds that stood out to me from the sidelines. This episode is on week one, at the New York Jets, when the Bills came back from down 16-0 to win 17-16 and start the season 1-0.
