Bills Positional Analysis & Locking In For Jacksonville

Bills Positional Analysis & Locking In For Jacksonville

Author: Blue Wire January 7, 2026 Duration: 1:10:58

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for a Buffalo Bills positional analysis, grades for the backups from their regular season finale and a look into the Jacksonville Jaguars ahead of this Sunday's wild card round showdown.

Few Bills starters played much if at all versus the Jets, with the exception of one guy that still has Patrick extremely fired up several days later. He lets you know why he's still dumbfounded by that before the guys get into the team's performance positionally in a dominant performance over a New York Jets foe that may or may not have looked disinterested in being competitive.

Does anything from the Jets finale actually mean anything for Buffalo going into the playoffs?

The guys also take a look at Jacksonville and come up with a few things that gives them confidence for Buffalo going into the elimination game in addition to a few things that definitely have them worried. That plus why having a first round quarterback is imperative to team success it seems and much more.
