After weeks of inconsistent football and not playing up to their potential, the Bills pull off their biggest win of the 2021 season beating the New England Patriots in Foxborough 33-21. Josh Allen balls out, Sean McDermott presses all the right buttons on his 4th down decision making, and the Bills have their swagger back moving to 9-6. We talk short term, long-term, grading the defense, players of the game, and staying level headed to finish the year. We look ahead at what&apos;s to come and talk a little Week 17 with Atlanta coming to town in a tough let down spot.

One Before I Die

Ep. 117: Week 16 @ Pats, Bills take back the road to the AFC East

The Colts beat the Pats, and the Bills took care of business at home, so that means the AFC East is up for grabs once again in Foxborough next week. The boys bring a couple new segments to the table this week as they recap the Panthers game and look ahead to the Patriots game. A lot of good stuff in this one as Sam and Ethan get to the nitty gritty details of everything Bills related. The Sabres are also fresh off of a hot road trip where they went 2-1 and took home 5 out of the possible 6 points up for grabs. Due to Covid, Alex Tuch&apos;s debut has been delayed but the guys talk about the impact he will bring to the table. Loaded one today ladies and gents! Enjoy!

Ep. 116: AFC East Up For Grabs AGAIN, Sabres Successful Roadie

Another very close and tough loss for the Bills this past weekend in Tampa. A crazy comeback led by Josh Allen falls short as the Bucs (and the refs) come out on top in OT. The boys talk about this as well as the team overall and what is still in play for the remainder of the season. Somehow, some way, the Buffalo Bills are still in contention of the AFC East with a huge week 15 in the NFL looming. This week the Carolina Panthers come to town in a must win situation for the Bills. Sam and Ethan give their takes on the game and talk about what needs to happen in order to get a win.

Ep. 115: Week 14 @ Bucs, Panthers Preview, Swords Banter

This was a tough one, maybe the toughest episode to date. The boys do not have any gas in the tank to talk about anything other than the Bills loss to the Pats, 14-10 on Monday Night Football. What is the Bills identity? That is the biggest question that is yet to be answered and the boys get deep into the weeds. Heads up Buffalo, heads up.

Ep. 114: Death Bed

One of the biggest regular season Bills games in recent memory is looming as the Bills take on the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football next week.

The guys also discuss the Thanksgiving day dub in New Orleans as well as the Sabres who are starting to show who they really are.

Ep. 113: Thanksgiving Dub, Pats Week, Sabres Show True Colors
