How do the Buffalo Bills measure up to the Super Bowl champ Seattle Seahawks? Joe Marino digs into both lineups, spotlighting where Josh Allen and the Bills shine—think James Cook at running back, Dalton Kincaid at tight end, and a sturdy o-line.

Is Buffalo missing the depth it needs on defense to hang with the league’s best? Marino unpacks which position battles are most telling, how existing contracts and expiring deals could shape Buffalo’s offseason, and whether the current roster makeup is built for a real shot at the title.

Buffalo Bills face critical questions at edge rusher as the new Jim Leonhard defensive scheme challenges last year’s lineup. Can Greg Rousseau, fresh off leading the team in pressures but missing elite sack numbers, anchor a revamped unit? With Joey Bosa’s future uncertain and A.J. Epenesa hitting free agency, Brandon Beane must make bold moves to energize the pass rush.Joe Marino breaks down the roles of returning players—Michael Hoecht’s comeback from Achilles injury, Javon Solomon’s skill fit in a linebacker-heavy front, and Landon Jackson’s struggle to recover and adapt. The discussion spotlights scheme fits, key contract situations, and the urgent need for an impact edge rusher alongside a top target at wide receiver. Can Buffalo finally assemble the right mix to push their defense over the top?

Josh Allen put up one of his most accurate seasons yet, but is it enough to keep the Buffalo Bills at the top of the AFC? With shuffling at wide receiver and a spike in sacks, Joe Marino digs into why Allen’s big-play magic wasn’t on display as often—and why better talent and health at receiver could be the key to getting the Bills back in the MVP hunt.The episode breaks down Allen’s standout numbers, where things went sideways with the offense, and what Buffalo needs to fix this offseason—from ironing out the QB depth chart with Mitch Trubisky and Shane Buechele, to getting serious about offensive line upgrades. Will the Bills finally give Allen the help he needs? Find out what has to happen for Buffalo’s superstar to go from great to unstoppable in 2026.Visit https://www.thejoemarino.com/ for details on Substack, Subtext, Merch and more! Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBills?sid=Yo...Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNFLEverydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Buffalo Bills usher in a new era as Jim Leonhard takes over as defensive coordinator, promising a seismic shift for the defense. Can Leonhard’s aggressive, hybrid 3-4 scheme revitalize the Bills' roster and address long-standing personnel needs? Joe Marino breaks down how Leonhard’s track record at Wisconsin and with the Denver Broncos could transform the defense’s identity, highlighting potential scheme fits for Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau, and Cole Bishop.Key topics include the impact of a more versatile front seven, increased man coverage, and the urgent need for speed rushers and thumping inside linebackers. Joe Marino explores how Terrel Bernard, Javon Solomon, and Dorian Williams fit into this new-look unit, and which free agents or draft targets could help Buffalo fill critical gaps. Will Leonhard’s bold philosophy be the answer the Bills’ defense needs to compete for a championship?Visit https://www.thejoemarino.com/ for details on Substack, Subtext, Merch and more! Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBills?sid=Yo...Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNFLEverydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Great amazing game by Allen but don't kid yourself Joe, this team won't be the same next year with both OC DC gone!!!! That was Allen's best chance to Win a Superbowl for next 5 years probably

would have thought this was an episode of "locked on Browns". 🤮 awful lot of bloviating over a 2-6 team that is more hype and hot air than anything else. yuck.

Great podcast (despite the host having the name of our greatest nemesis of the 80's). Joe has exceptional football knowledge and dispenses it in layman's terms that gives you a feeling of sitting in a bar talking to a buddy about the game. He remains level headed, not too high when things go well and not too low when they don't. Keep up the good work.
