The Bills (7-4) have gone from Super Bowl favorite to fighting to make the playoffs as they prepare to face Pittsburgh on the road Sunday. Hall of Famer Andre Reed joined Adam and Sal for an in-depth discussion about what he thinks this team is lacking, particularly on offense and in the passing game. He also shared details about discussions he's recently had with receiver Keon Coleman, who Sean McDermott has benched for the last two games for being late to a team meeting. Not the first offense for the former second round pick.

There wasn't much question who had the edge in the highly anticipated matchup between the Bills and their second ranked offense, and the Texans with the league's top ranked defense. Houston sacked Josh Allen a career high eight times, forced three turnovers, and won 23-19 Thursday night in Houston to drop the Bills to 7-4. Hall of Fame writer and broadcaster Vic Carucci joined Adam Benigni to put things in perspective as the Bills begin the stretch run.

The Bills offense more than came to life against Tampa Bay. Josh Allen accounted for six touchdowns and the passing game was as explosive as it's been all season. Now they take the show on the road for Thursday night football against Houston who has the top ranked scoring defense in the NFL. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have a preview.

Josh Allen threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for three as well becoming the first player in NFL history to do that multiple times, as the Bills won a shootout over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 44-32. The Bills made changes to the group of receivers that included benching Keon Coleman, the return of Gabe Davis, and the emergence of Tyrell Shavers. On the flip side, the run defense continues to be a major cause for concern. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana were live with postgame reaction.

Coming off one of, if not the, worst loss of the Sean McDermott era last week in Miami, the Bills (6-3) are facing a critical matchup against Tampa Bay (6-3) at home this weekend. The passing game, or lack thereof, remains a focal point along with a defense that's dealt with injuries and consistently struggled to stop the run. The Bills have reached what seems to be a crossroads in a season where so much was and is expected. Jay Skurski works the Bills beat for the Buffalo News and joined Adam and Sal for an in-depth discussion of Buffalo's issues ahead of this game.

The Bills are facing tremendous criticism after one of the worst losses on the Sean McDermott era - 30-13 to the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday. Much of it is aimed at a struggling offense, and the limited array of weapons Josh Allen has in the passing game and the failure to address that issue at the trade deadline. To that end, the Bills have reportedly signed former Chiefs speedster Mecole Hardman to the practice squad ahead of another challenging game this Sunday at home against the 6-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Josh Allen threw for 306 yards, but threw an interception and fumbled as part of a three turnover effort for the offense in a 30-13 upset loss to the previously 2-7 Miami Dolphins. Cook fumbled as well and was held to just 53 yards rushing. Miami snapped a seven game losing streak against Buffalo, with De'Von Achane rushing for 174 yards and two touchdowns and added six receptions for 51 yards in the receiving game. Buffalo falls to 6-3 and lost ground to the Patriots (8-2) in the division race. New England won at Tampa Bay. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana were live with postgame coverage.

Josh Allen was in MVP form going 23 of 26 for 273-yards, throwing for one touchdown and running for two scores completing a team record 88.5% of his passes in leading the Bills to a 28-21 win over archrival Kansas City. He also set an NFL record with his 78th career rushing touchdown - most among quarterbacks. Patrick Mahomes completed just 44% of his passes against the Bills defense which was a career low in a regular season game. The Bills improve to 6-2 while handing the Chiefs their fourth loss of the season (5-4). Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana were live postgame with reaction.

Here we go again. It's the Bills (5-2) facing the Chiefs (5-3) Sunday at Highmark Stadium. Granted we're just reaching the midway point of the season, but this game should do a great deal to highlight what appear to be very legitimate concerns about Buffalo's status as true Super Bowl contenders. The Chiefs have won five of their last six after an 0-2 start, outscoring opponents 176-84 over that stretch, while the Bills are dealing with serious questions about the passing game, as well as injuries and vulnerability of defense. Hall of Fame journalist Vic Carucci joined Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana for a preview.

It was sobering news for Bills fans on Monday when it dropped that they're going to be without top defensive tackle Ed Oliver indefinitely after he suffered a torn biceps in Sunday's win at Carolina. Oliver says he could be back if the Bills were in fact able to make a Super Bowl run. Dr. David Chao joined Adam and Sal for some informed speculation on just how possible that might be. In the meantime, Buffalo prepares to face archrival Kansas City Sunday at home. The Chiefs have now won five of their last six games after an 0-2 start.

The Bills haven't lost coming out of a bye week under Sean McDermott. They also haven't gone into one with two straight losses. That all gets put to the test Sunday in Charlotte as the Bills (4-2) will face Carolina (4-3). All indications are veteran Andy Dalton will start at quarterback for the Panthers as Bryce Young deals with a high ankle sprain, but quarterback aside, Carolina's offensive strength plays directly at Buffalo's most glaring weakness. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have a game preview.

In getting off to a 4-0 start, the Bills in many ways looked every bit the part of Super Bowl favorite, but losses to the Patriots and Falcons highlighted many of the underlying concerns about this team. Buffalo has a lot to figure out on this bye week. With that in mind, current WGRZ Sports Director joined former SD and Sports Talk Live colleague Adam Benigni along with Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle to break things down.

The Bills (4-2) are into their bye week now 5th in the AFC, and second in the division to the Patriots. It's far from a spot most expected them to be when they were 4-0 and Super Bowl favorites. It's important to keep things in perspective just six games into the season, but the six games, the last two in particular, have revealed a number of issues and questions about this team that have many re-evaluating where they stand moving forward. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have takes on all of it.

The Bills did a great deal to beat themselves in their first loss of the season to the Patriots. Monday night in Atlanta they look to bounce back. Atlanta is 2-2 on the year, and they've been a team of extremes. After a 30-0 loss to Carolina, they were impressive in a 34-27 win over Washington. They're coming off their bye week as they get ready to face Buffalo. Former Falcons and Ravens fullback Ovie Mughelli joined Adam and Sal for a preview.

The Bills 23-20 loss to the New England Patriots Sunday night highlighted some key areas that have been of concern, aside from Buffalo beating itself with turnovers (3) and penalties (11). They're also dealing with more challenges related to injuries as they look toward Monday night's game at Atlanta. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana have takes on all of it.

The Bills have more than turned the tide in the AFC East with five straight division titles and marching toward a sixth. It's a far cry from when New England dominated with Tom Brady at the helm. But many have identified New England as the team most likely to eventually challenge Buffalo given the turn the organization has started to make. How far along are they? How might things play out Sunday night in Orchard Park? What has Stef Diggs meant to the Patriots so far? Christopher Price of the Boston Globe and the Patriots Report podcast joined Adam and Sal for a preview.

It's important to point out, we're asking that question just four games into the season. So much can obviously happen moving forward, but the Bills (4-0) are Super Bowl favorites, and certainly from an offensive standpoint, look every bit the part. To Josh Allen's point, they can actually be better. Does the defense concern you? These are questions that Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana debate looking toward Sunday night's matchup with the New England Patriots (2-2) in Orchard Park.
