Episode notes
Patriots' Win Signals Quarterback Stability
- The Patriots' win over the Bills convinced Bill that Drake Maye can be a true franchise quarterback for New England.
- Bill highlights standout performances from Jakobi and Gonzalez and says the Pats can sneak into playoff contention with this QB stability.
Bills Look Powerful But Incomplete
- Bill and Sal view Buffalo as sloppy and inconsistent early in the season despite Josh Allen's talent.
- They note Buffalo hasn't shown a full start-to-finish dominant win yet and that defense and penalties hurt them tonight.
Go For It On Short-Yardage Late Plays
- Avoid conservative end-of-game play-calling when you need points against an elite QB like Josh Allen.
- Go for it on short-yardage attempts late instead of kneeling or playing not to lose.
