Buffalo Bills Biggest Week 17 Takeaways

Buffalo Bills Biggest Week 17 Takeaways

Author: Blue Wire December 31, 2024 Duration: 42:27

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is breaking down his biggest Buffalo Bills Week 17 takeaways after watching the film and sifting over PFF grades of their dominant performance over the New York Jets, an effort made easier by an opponent who looked disinterested if not completely checked out.

Not to take away credit for Buffalo, but seeing in real time and especially after film review, the Jets were without a question the path of least resistance for the Bills to lock up the two seed in the AFC. Patrick spends a few minutes going over a few specific plays and moments where it was obvious the Jets had mailed this game in along with their season and why it's such an unserious organization. Also, Aaron Rodgers played like garbage, even when he had time to throw the ball and Patrick documents a few instances of that as well.

As for the Bills, it was a well rounded game in all three aspects of the team. Patrick talks about Josh Allen maintaining the level of excellence he has almost the entire season without needing to get into any specific MVP talk today. Specifically discussed is him eluding several would-be sacks and having trust in his wide receivers Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman to make plays.

The defense was pretty good as well and Patrick talks about being most encouraged by a pair of veterans who'll absolutely need to play well if they want to make a playoff run---Von Miller and Matt MIlano.

That plus the unsung heroes on a few of Buffalo's biggest plays, a couple things about the game he didn't like including one that may be an unpopular opinion and much more.

Happy New Year!

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.
