Rob thinks that the game this Sunday matters regardless of our Bills' chances to win the AFCE because it will serve as a reminder of who we are while also serving notice to NE of who they are not! Mindset plays a big role in professional sports and letting NE know on the eve of the playoffs that they still aren't on our level can go a long way.
Can we get a pass rush, please?!?!?! Joey Bosa is set to return Sunday for the game and not a moment too soon as the Bills struggled to even lay a hand on Burrow last week. Can he provide the juice needed to affect Drake Maye?

Josh Allen is from another planet! The throws he made to help the Bills mount the comeback were truly special and we all should be counting our blessings that he is our QB1. What an unreal performance capped by 250yds & 2 rushing TD's in the 4th qtr alone!

With no international games or holiday games DT thinks the "consistency" of the schedule could lend itself to helping the Bills as they search for a 5th straight AFCE title and the playoffs that come thereafter. Make no mistake, there are still plenty of primetime matchups along with the 4:25pm window games that have now become like mini-primetime games within themselves.
Rob sends out an official invitation to DT to come down to Charlotte when the Bills travel to play the Panthers. Rob thinks that game could mirror the 'Bills Takeover' games we've grown accustomed to seeing down in South Beach as CLT is littered with Mafia members!
Finally, the fellas pick the W-L record for our '25 Bills and there is a consensus...our '25 Bills should be really really good this season.

The way the slate of games lays out for our Bills is giving the fellas straight #1 seed vibes as our Bills look to accomplish...Rob thinks the way the marquee opponents are spread out over the 17 games is optimal for a really special regular season. With no international games or holiday games DT thinks the "consistency" of the schedule could lend itself to helping the Bills as they search for a 5th straight AFCE title and the playoffs that come thereafter.

DT's Bills roots can be traced back to his Grandpa who got him hooked at an early age. As he baptized DT into The Mafia, his obsession with the Bills quickly formed and it was apparent at an early age that the Bills and family went hand-in-hand. 
Then the fellas tell the unique story of how they met late one Saturday night on the corner of Delaware & Allen and how the Bills organically made them lifelong friends the next morning at The Ralph. 
Finally, Rob shares some BIG NEWS with The Crew as he is skipping his'24 season tickets for the perfect bundle of joy reason.

Are the NY Jets real threats or will they find a way to mess it up like they always seem to do? Is Miami finally ready to win games that matter late in the season when the weather gets cold?
The AFCN can once again be considered the black & blue division as its filled with tough defenses that personify the brand of football we've become familiar with. Can Cincinnati bounce back with a healthy Joe Burrow? The 2-time MVP returns with a new toy in the backfield with him. The Browns have a ferocious defense but what to make of their QB and his recent injury history? Do the Steelers even have an identity?
Will someone finally stand up to the big bully in the AFCW as the Chiefs look like the favorites yet again? Harbaugh is in the division now and the fellas agree it seems everything he touches turns to gold. Are the Raiders tough or just tough talk? Has Sean Payton found his Brees 2.0 in Bo Nix?
Are the Texans ready to be the hunted after their surprise season last year? Stroud sure looks the part but DT is sick of him after his mouthy offseason. LOL. Jacksonville has a chance to contend but can Lawrence put it all together? Tennessee seems intent on finding out if their QB1 has 'it' while Indianapolis just wants to see their new QB healthy and playing.

What will the '24 Bills look like now? Does Brandon Beane have some magic left in the tank to keep this offense potent? He better, because now the Bills have two WR's to find via the draft or free agency. Should trade up to get a potential stud or sit back at 28 and let the draft come to him?
What is 17's role in all of this?

The fellas take a peek ahead to next month's draft and each do their best Brandon Beane impressions as our Bills gear up for a pivotal draft as we enter Phase 2 of 17's career. What is the perfect scenario on how things could play out next month? What positions are must haves?
Next, they take a look at free agency as it begins to wind down before the draft. What are the most impressive and important signings that Beane has made?
Finally, the fellas discuss the new rules changes that are going into effect for next season after the Owner's Meetings wrapped up in FL. The league kept the kickoff intact but what will it look like and who can take advantage of the revamped format?

Either way, it was fun to see the energy & emotion back in 17 as the offense clicked for the first time in a while.
Joe Brady 'painted' a wonderful picture against a legit NYJ defense on Sunday. Can he continue to mold the offense in his image?
Finally, the fellas discuss the huge game this Sunday as our Bills travel to the City of Brotherly Love where they'll be met by everything except fuzzy feelings from Philly fans for sure. Philadelphia is 9-1 but is their offense any good as they've mastered the art of winning close games this season.

How was that display the "complementary football" McD loves to preach about??? How were there 12 men on the field to end the game and how is that Dorsey's fault? Would he have been fired if there were 11 and the kick was missed?
What now for the Bills offense as McD pivots to Joe Brady? How will it look different? Can Brady channel the best out of Josh Allen?
Is McDermott trying to cover his tracks with this move? Has he been leaving us clues all along to the type of offense he envisions? There isn't anyone else for him to blame at this point so the last 7 games will be interesting to monitor for multiple reasons as the Bills close out the toughest part of their '23 schedule.

Can all of his recent struggles just be related to him playing more zone than he did in college at UF or is there more to it? Will it be Elam, Jackson or Benford standing at the end of camp?
