Buffalo Bills Biggest Week 14 Takeaways

Buffalo Bills Biggest Week 14 Takeaways

Author: Blue Wire December 10, 2024 Duration: 45:37

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over several of his biggest Buffalo Bills takeaways after their seven-game winning streak ended in Los Angeles on Sunday despite an unprecedented six total touchdowns without a turnover from Josh Allen.

Allen's day was historic, literally but it wasn't enough to overcome the disgraceful performance from his defense, special teams and coaching. Patrick breaks down so many of the things that went wrong to spoil their offense dominance, including key defensive players like Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau, Taron Johnson, Rasul Douglas and even Christian Benford being no shows. Patrick's annoyance with Oliver is reaching its peak--how does a guy with this much perceived talent and play making ability have one sack for the entire season?

Special teams has been an underlying problem quite often this season and none so more than this game, with Reid Ferguson being directly responsible for six Rams points.

As for Sean McDermott, Patrick explains why he did himself no favors from the critics who think he's a choke artist in big moments of games. While McDermott certainly isn't nor should be in danger of losing his job, it's fair to be wary of the Bills ever getting over the hump with the types of in-game decisions the head coach often makes.

As for Allen, Patrick talks about how the MVP race is now essentially over and goes one step further, saying that Allen's the best player in the NFL right now. That plus other guys stepping up on offense, some big picture perspective and much more.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
