Bills Positional Analysis & Adversity To Overcome In Denver

Bills Positional Analysis & Adversity To Overcome In Denver

Author: Blue Wire January 14, 2026 Duration: 1:20:14

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly chat, focused around a discussion of the Bills positionally and their performance in Jacksonville as well as a handful of things that definitely have Buffalo facing some adversity going into Denver for the Divisional round this Saturday.

Linebacker, cornerback and tight end (as almost always) stood out in a good way for Buffalo in their three point win over Jacksonville as Matt breaks down the team position by position.

While prefacing that saying the Bills have no excuses and a very fair chance to go to Denver and knock off the top seeded Broncos on Saturday, there's definitely some factors working against them. Patrick and Matt hit on a handful of them, ranging from short rest to a ridiculous difference between when practice squad elevations are due and the roster being set because the Bills are playing at 4:30pm Saturday  instead of 8:00pm. That plus a boatload of injuries that could end up coming to the wire.

Also, do the guys think the Bills have much fuel left in the tank after a grueling win in Jacksonville?  That plus what are the chances Ed Oliver and Curtis Samuel both return this weekend and much more.
