00:00 Buffalo kept their playoff hopes alive, beating the
00:06 Wingland 27-21 in a game that was a lot more competitive than
00:10 what I thought it would be. Buffalo a solid 14 point
00:14 favorite and that went up, you know, Saturday into Sunday from
00:17 13 to 14. Pats returned the opening kickoff back for a
00:21 touchdown and they were really in the game the whole way that
00:23 this was not like an old backdoor, you know, make it look
00:26 closer than what it was. Nope, they had a chance to win the
00:29 game and they ended up not doing it but they get the win. Does
00:32 Buffalo? They need to now beat Miami to win the AFC East. The
00:39 winner of next week's Bill's Dolphins game, which is in
00:42 Miami, wins the AFC East. Dolphins, if they lose Joe, are
00:47 automatically in. Buffalo, if they lose, are not automatically
00:51 in. Bill's could lose a playoff spot. If they lose, Pittsburgh
00:58 wins against Baltimore, which is going to be playing for nothing
01:01 since they already clinched the number one seed. And then if
01:05 Jacksonville beats Tennessee, which to peak a high at this
01:08 point could be Tennessee. So, you know, you can make the case
01:12 Buffalo's playoff hopes are really on the line here because
01:15 I think those other two things are going to occur. They're
01:18 going to have to beat the Dolphins to make the postseason.
01:20 Yeah, they absolutely will have to and looking at how
01:23 competitive the Patriots were versus them today. I struggle
01:28 here with Buffalo. They're going to be able to do it in the next
01:31 game because you look at them in this one and yes, they had the
01:35 time of possession 32 minutes time of possession. Josh Allen
01:38 was able to run it in for a touchdown. He's been straight
01:41 money getting that rushing touchdown. But like you said,
01:44 special teams of four, the Pats came out so nice and strong. If
01:49 Zappy hadn't thrown those interceptions turning that ball
01:54 over. I think we would have had a different outcome at the end
01:56 of this game. So the bills they have to clean a lot of stuff up
02:01 going into that next game versus Miami because otherwise I don't
02:04 think they're going to win it Scott.
02:05 Yeah, Josh Allen threw for less than 200 yards another
02:11 interception. I mean, you see me looking kind of one hand how
02:14 many times this guy doesn't turn the ball over did score a
02:17 couple of touchdowns, but you know for a team Joe that
02:21 struggled last week against the Chargers, but got the job done.
02:24 We'll give them a little bit of a, you know, a hiccup there
02:27 since they were coming off their emotional win the week before
02:29 against Dallas. I thought we were going to get an a effort
02:33 and you know what? I think it's time that people just you know,
02:36 we talked to you know, the previous show, you know,
02:38 they're the third choice to win it all in the you know, with
02:42 the boys in Vegas and they're just not letting this go that
02:47 Buffalo's just not that good. They're not, you know, two
02:51 teams, them and Kansas City both, you know, they're just
02:54 you know what? They're not that good. They were great last year.
02:56 They were great two years ago, both these teams three years
02:59 ago, but it's not happening. This Bill's team would have
03:02 annihilated New England in this spot, but they got the job done.
03:07 They kept themselves alive and now we got the big game next
03:11 week against the Miami Dolphins.
