Bills Positional Grades & Analysis, Plus A Look At The Saints

Bills Positional Grades & Analysis, Plus A Look At The Saints

Author: Blue Wire September 24, 2025 Duration: 1:08:20

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren (SB Nation) to go over the Buffalo Bills positionally and assign a grade from their Week three performance last week against Miami before taking a look at Buffalo's next opponent, winless New Orleans.

As they're doing throughout the season, Matt and Patrick are converging to analyze the Bills position-by-position and come up with a letter grade for how each group looked the game before. This week's a little "overdue" because the Bills played last Thursday, but there's still plenty of interesting talking points to hit on with this game.  How do you grade Josh Allen on a night where he threw for three touchdowns without a turnover but wasn't necessarily at his best? How about the cornerbacks, who looked strong against the run but gave up some plays in the passing game? Did the Bills prepare well for Miami or did they get a bit lucky? The guys go over all.

Also, it's hard to fathom the Bills not beating New Orleans this Sunday no matter how hard you try, but the guys take a look at the Saints and come up with a few things that Buffalo could get hurt by if not careful.

They also take a look around the league at some of the bigger happenings from the rest of Week three and talk about a pivotal Week four matchup between Baltimore and Kansas City plus much more.
