Bills Positional Week One Grades, Plus Looking Forward To Jets

Bills Positional Week One Grades, Plus Looking Forward To Jets

Author: Blue Wire September 10, 2025 Duration: 1:16:14

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren (SB Nation) to run through the Buffalo Bills performances from Sunday night positionally and assigning grades in addition to taking a look at the Bills next opponent, the New York Jets.

It's been a handful of days but the shock of the Bills unlikely late comeback against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday night at Highmark Stadium still is lingering. While the win was huge in the moment and potentially the long term there's plenty to be critical of, as the Bills were thoroughly handled for the majority of the game.

The guys go through each facet of the Bills positionally for a discussion on how they fared against Baltimore before Matt assigns a grade to each.

They then take a look ahead to the Jets, who lost on Sunday to the Pittsburgh Steelers but looked extremely competitive in Aaron Glenn's first game as head coach. The guys don't this is the "gimme" game that a lot of people nationally may think and yes, Buffalo has to be careful of the "letdown" factor.  That plus some talk about things going on around the NFL and much more.
