PODCAST: Bills lost to the Jets but everything is okay

Kyle Silagyi is joined by Rich Kowalski and McKenna Middlebrook to discuss the Buffalo Bills’ Week 17 loss to the New York Jets.

Entering the Bills’ Week 17 matchup with the New York Jets, the Buffalo faithful’s collective mind was not overly concerned with a victory.

The game meant nothing. Buffalo had already cemented itself as the fifth seed in the AFC prior to kickoff, meaning that its regular-season finale, regardless of the result, would have no impact on the standings.

The Bills simply wanted to exit the game with a healthy roster and a protected playbook. Though Buffalo lost the ugly game by a score of 13-6, it seems to have accomplished its other goals.

On this episode of The Kyle Silagyi Variety Hour, host Kyle Silagyi is joined by BillsWire staff writers Rich Kowalski and McKenna Middlebrook to discuss the Bills’ loss to New York. Kyle also talks about his hatred of a small town in Erie County and unveils a crazy surprise.

PODCAST: Bills lost to the Patriots but that’s alright

Kyle Silagyi is joined by Justin DiLoro and McKenna Middlebrook to discuss the Buffalo Bills’ Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots.

A loss to the New England Patriots typically weighs on fans of the Buffalo Bills for some time.

The hated division rival has dominated Buffalo for some time, holding a 35-5 record against the Bills since the turn of the century.

New England added another win to its record in a Week 16 win over Buffalo – yet, there’s not a communal feeling of dread in Western New York. The game was meaningless for the Bills, who had already secured a playoff berth with a Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

On this episode of The Kyle Silagyi Variety Hour, host Kyle Silagyi is joined by BillsWire staff writers Justin DiLoro and McKenna Middlebrook to talk about Buffalo’s inconsequential loss to the Patriots. They also talk about the Bills’ receiving corps and break out some wicked Boston accents.

PODCAST: Bills turn attention to Wild Card weekend post-Patriots loss

Buffalo Bills podcast following 24-17 loss to New England Patriots.

The Bills couldn’t get the job done against the New England Patriots. Poor execution on the offensive side, with an inability to extend drives, led to exhaustion and sloppy play on the defensive side of the ball. The Patriots experienced one of their better games of this back half of the season against Buffalo on both sides of the ball.

For the Bills, it’s not the end of the world, fortunately. While the idea that they were in the race for a home playoff game in Week 16 was enticing, they’re still in the postseason, and they still have a shot. The only ways that Buffalo would see the Patriots again is one of two situations.

First, both the Bills and whoever is the sixth seed win. Lowest remaining seed goes on to face Baltimore, and Buffalo would end up facing New England in the divisional round. Secondly, if both Buffalo or New England win out, and they meet in the AFC Championship.

That all sounds good and well, but one game at a time has to be the mentality, and right now, despite a meaningless Week 17 game against the Jets, Buffalo is slated to face either Houston or Kansas City come Wild Card Weekend.

Billswire podcast host ost Matt Johnson recaps the Bills-Patriots game and looks ahead to Wild Card weekend:

PODCAST: Bills made the playoffs and we’re happy about it

Kyle Silagyi is joined by Justin DiLoro, Rich Kowalski, and McKenna Middlebrook to discuss the Buffalo Bills’ playoff-clinching victory.

The Buffalo Bills are making a habit out of qualifying for the postseason.

The team clinched a playoff berth with its Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, improving to 10-4 on the 2019 season.

It’s the second time that the Bills have qualified for the playoffs in the last three years, a much-welcomed change from the team’s stretch of mediocrity that has consumed much of the 21st century.

Led by a talented young quarterback and a stout defense, it looks as though Buffalo could make some noise in the postseason. On this episode of The Kyle Silagyi Variety Hour, host Kyle Silagyi is joined by BillsWire staff writers Rich Kowalski, Justin DiLoro, and McKenna Middlebrook to discuss the Bills’ playoff-clinching win.

PODCAST: Bills underwhelm in 24-17 loss to Ravens

Kyle Silagyi is joined by McKenna Middlebrook to discuss the Buffalo Bills’ Week 14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

For the second consecutive week, the eyes of the collective football world were glued to a Buffalo Bills football game.

Only this time, the team failed to impress in a game that could’ve shifted national perception.

The contest was supposed to feature a battle between two of the league’s most exciting young quarterbacks. Instead, fans tuned into a defensive stalemate, a game in which neither Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen were able to construct strong outings.

It was ultimately Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens who got the upper hand, leaving New Era Field with an underwhelming 24-17 victory. On this episode of The Kyle Silagyi Variety Hour, host Kyle Silagyi is joined by BillsWire staff writer McKenna Middlebrook to discuss Buffalo’s Week 14 loss. They also talk about beards and Kyle’s pregame festivities.

PODCAST: What will Bills have to do beat Ravens?

This Sunday has a big game feel to it. Sure, the Bills just defeated the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, with the National Spotlight firmly on them, but there is something special about this game against Baltimore.

This Sunday has a big game feel to it. Sure, the Bills just defeated the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, with the national spotlight firmly on them, but there is something special about this game against the Ravens.

How do you gameplan for a team of the caliber and level that the Ravens are playing at right now? It’s not as easy as it would seem. The Ravens offense is unique, and it’s key piece, the sophomore sensation Lamar Jackson, is having an MVP-caliber season. His speed, combined with his growing passing ability, and the offensive units ability to sell fake out plays, has stumped the best defensive coordinators across the NFL, including one of the greatest minds in pro football history, Bill Belichick.

The challenge is one that the Bills are certainly up for, and another opportunity to prove that they’re for real. The coordinators and players have their work cut out for them. In this episode, podcast hosts Matt and Jeremy examine what they believe that the Bills have to do to try and slow down one of the fastest offenses running in the NFL.

PODCAST: Josh Allen embarrassed Cowboys on Thanksgiving

Kyle Silagyi is joined by Rich Kowalski, McKenna Middlebrook, and Justin DiLoro to discuss the Buffalo Bills’ dismantling of the Cowboys.

Quarterback Josh Allen led the team to a 26-15 victory, becoming the first Buffalo signal-caller to win nine games in a single season since Drew Bledsoe in 2004.

The Buffalo Bills took care of business in their Week 12 matchup with the Denver Broncos, handily defeating the inferior opponent by a score of 20-3.

PODCAST: Can Bills carry consistency vs. Broncos into Cowboys meeting?

Buffalo Bills podcast following Week 12 in over Denver Broncos, ahead of Thanksgiving meetings vs. Cowboys.

The Buffalo Bills won their second straight game to improve to 8-3 on the season for the first time since 1996. It was a remarkable game, with the team displaying proficiency in all three phases of football that put up points and yardage on a top defense, halting a strong run offense, and did it’s job on special teams.

Denver had played much better than it’s record until this point, and they hit an absolute brick wall at New Era Field. The Bills defense only allowed 167 yards of total offense in Week 12. Buffalo downed talented running backs Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. In fact, it seemed that Broncos play calling didn’t aim to target Buffalo’s sketchy run defense in the second half, as they became very pass happy and one-dimensional.

In the Broncos closest venture towards the end zone, they could not get the job done as Tre’Davious White was essentially handed an interception and a broken route intended for Courtland Sutton, who was held for one catch in the outing.

The offense did well, aside from a bad Josh Allen interception that gave Denver some of the best field positioning that they had all day. 244 yards on the ground, again dominated by Devin Singletary.

However, the big news was that, Frank Gore, the journeyman running back, passed Barry Sanders to become third all-time in rushing yards. A tremendous accomplishment, and extra satisfying that it happened with him wearing a Bills jersey.

Buffalo prepares for Dallas on a short week for this Thursday, as the Bills play their first Thanksgiving game in several years. The quick turnaround has affected many teams this year, not being allowed to play to their full potential. Everyone is already hard at work at One Bills Drive to ensure the Bills are prepared for their latest National Spotlight opportunity.

PODCAST: 3 takeaways from Bills’ dominant win over Dolphins

Kyle Silagyi is joined by Rich Kowalski and McKenna Middlebrook to discuss three takeaways from the Buffalo Bills’ Week 11 win.

The Buffalo Bills took care of business in their Week 11 matchup with the Miami Dolphins.

The prospective playoff team was supposed to dominate its lowly division rival. The struggling defense was supposed to refind its form, making it difficult for Miami’s offense to make any sort of progress. Quarterback Josh Allen was supposed to pick the Dolphins’ 29th ranked defense apart, leading the team to a ‘statement’ game that would reaffirm its status as a legitimate contender.

In untypical Buffalo fashion, all of these events played out as planned, as the Bills dominated Miami en route to a 37-20 victory. On this episode of The Kyle Silagyi Variety Hour, host Kyle Silagyi is joined by BillsWire staff writers Rich Kowalski and McKenna Middlebrook to discuss their three takeaways from the Bills’ Week 11 victory. They also talk about the Los Angeles Chargers’ rumored move to London.
