LoW (408): Recovering from Saturday scaries

Making sense of what happened and where Michigan football goes from here. Also: why it’s too soon to overreact to the season as a whole.

[jwplayer vUAPoqZ4-XNcErKyb]

Hang in there, Michigan football fans. Saturday’s loss was bad, and there’s zero excuse for it. We explain what we can about how Michigan lost and why it’s too early to consider the season itself lost.

PODCAST: Bills fend off pesky Patriots

Buffalo Bills podcast from Bills Wire following 24-21 win over the New England Patriots in Week 8.

It was seemingly a moment that everyone affiliated with the Buffalo Bills at any point over the last 20-plus years had clamored for. The unofficial end of the New England Patriots’ stranglehold over the AFC East, and it came via a 24-21 win for the Bills. While this New England squad looked much, much different from last year, they still admirably battled the Bills with the same tenacity that they always have, and didn’t roll over for Buffalo.

Aside from the game-sealing fumble from quarterback Cam Newton in the final seconds, the Patriots played smart football, never being too overly aggressive with their play calling. Their offense, outside of Newton, running back James White and maybe running back Rex Burkhead, was made up of players that you would probably never have in your starting fantasy lineup. They were impressive, but that’s the genius of New England coach Bill Belichick.

The Bills came out and played gritty football, and came out on top in a nail biter. It wasn’t pretty by any means, but there were certainly some positives to come from it. The running game finally got some traction, which is something that many have been clamoring for. The defense continues to tighten up, and their “bend, don’t break” style of play has led to the most crucial defensive stands happening when needed most.

There’s a lot to build off of for this game, as the Bills prepare for their tougher stretch of schedule, starting with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.

But before seeing the Seahawks, Bills Wire podcast host Matt Johnson and contributor David De Cristofaro breakdown the week that was.

LoW (406): Michigan Mailbag is overconfident going up against MSU

With MSU coming up on Saturday, we answered the fans’ biggest questions, with many of them bordering on overconfidence with the Spartans up.

[jwplayer gSlNmwGc-XNcErKyb]

Seems to be the consensus that Michigan will destroy Michigan State on Saturday. I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. While it might be, there’s a lot that has to go right for the Wolverines.

So we take your questions, looking back at the Minnesota game while looking forward to the maize and blue hosting the Spartans on Saturday.

PODCAST: What a rebuild might look like for the Patriots

If the Patriots are selling, which players go? And then how will the 2021 offseason look?

The New England Patriots are headed for a matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, and if their records are any indication, Bill Belichick and Cam Newton are outmatched. Bills coach Sean McDermott has his team out to a comfortable lead in the AFC East title race, with Buffalo sitting at 5-2.

So it’s distinctly possible the Patriots lose on Sunday. And even if they don’t, New England is currently 2-4, a record that has never produced a Super Bowl winner. Considering every season is Super Bowl or bust for the Patriots, perhaps it’s time for New England considering the tanking. If that’s what the Patriots choose to do, then they actually have an easy path to rebuild.

How did the Patriots get here? And where do they go next? We’ve got all that and more on this week’s Patriots Wire podcast.
