On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is previewing the Buffalo Bills Week two matchup in New Jersey against the New York Jets, including his three keys to a Buffalo victory, bold predictions and a final score pick for the game.
The season couldn't have started out any more exciting (and stressful) for the Bills and their fans as they historically erased a 15 point deficit late to defeat the Baltimore Ravens, 41-40 on a Matt Prater game-winning field goal as the clock expired and came within an inch or two of being blocked. Josh Allen won AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance, Ed Oliver should've won on the other side of the ball as well, and it sets up Buffalo excellently by defeating a team that should be near the top of the conference standings at the end of the regular season.
Naturally, the guard needs to be up against a letdown in this week's road matchup against the Jets. New York lost their opener to Pittsburgh but played incredibly competitive in the debut of new head coach Aaron Glenn. There's a lot to like about the Jets and especially their ability to run an offense similar to the successful offense Baltimore ran against Buffalo this past week. Patrick talks about some of the Jets standouts from Week one on offense led by quarterback Justin Fields, who looks revitalized with the Jets.
On the Bills side, the win over Baltimore was great but they have to be better, a lot better on defense than they were for the first three quarters plus in their opener. Patrick says that while not trying to sound like a homer, the rust and lack of reps during the preseason for the unit could've been a factor in the ugly early start--not as much as going against the likes of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry among others, but certainly a factor.
Patrick also lays out his three keys to the Bills getting their second straight win as well as five bold predictions for the game (few of them juicy too!) and ultimately a final score prediction. That and more!
