Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 12 ratings
  • Great stuff!

    Not overblown or obnoxious like so many other sports pods. Insightful, perceptive, organic. One suggestion? Maybe longer by another 10 minutes or so per episode? Keep it up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Let’s answer your Bills questions
Q: What are the odds of Jordan Poyer and Ed Oliver playing?
Poyer is unlikely (0-20% depending on the day) while Ed Oliver has a better but still uncertain chance (roughly 10-20%), with the team prioritizing a win this week.
Let’s answer your Bills questions
Q: Do the Bills have an answer with Jordan Poyer out, and do they need more help from their pass rush?
Jordan Hancock steps in at safety, with the defense relying on stronger pass rush and cover schemes; the overall plan will emphasize pressure to compensate for the absence, while rookies are tested quickly.
Let’s answer your Bills questions
Q: How will the injuries to the wide receivers impact this game plan?
The receivers will necessitate more two- and three-tight end sets, more blocking from tight ends, and perhaps a wider role for remaining players like Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir to be more involved in the offense.
