Bills Week Five Positional Analysis & Gr...

BLUE WIRE
About this episode

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation for his weekly appearance to discuss the Buffalo Bills positionally and evaluate them with grades based on their performance in their Week five loss to the New England Patriots.

Buffalo suffered their first loss of the season this past Sunday and it was a home loss in prime time to a divisional rival to make matters worse. How do the guys the guys think Buffalo's feeling a few days later? They discuss that and then get into their weekly breakdown of how the team looked position by position. It's definitely a far cry from most weeks when nearly every position on the team has received honor roll worthy grades. How much does Josh Allen get dinged for some mistakes---some that show up in the box score and some that don't?

Defensively things get dicey to evaluate and grade because on one hand they kept Buffalo in the game through the first half when the offense totally sputtered. However, as the offense got going after halftime the defense started to struggle like it has a lot of the season. How big is the Bills secondary problem and is Tre White receiving TOO much blame?

They also take a look at Buffalo's next opponent, Atlanta, their last before a bye week that could prove useful. That plus a look around the league in a week that saw both Baltimore and Kansas City lose again and much more.

The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live! You can purchase t shirts, hoodies, zip ups, crewnecks and polos in a couple of different styles and colors. Visit our online page for pricing and options and while there, check out Buf on Weck for tons of cool gear!

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time. Also big thanks to Imperial Pizza and their two locations (1035 Abbott Road and 1655 Main Street), home of not only great pizza and tons of other delicious eats but also the best everyday lunch special in town.
