On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss yet another outstanding playoff performance from Josh Allen as he and a few big plays on defense carried the Buffalo Bills to a 27-24 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC wild card round to advance in the playoffs, Buffalo’s first playoff road win since 1992.
Things weren’t always easy for Allen and the Bills offense, including physically with Josh taking a beating. It wasn’t made easier by James Cook being held to 46 yards on the ground by the league’s best run defense. But when the Bills absolutely had to have it, Allen was pretty much flawless in leading the Bills to touchdowns on their last two possessions. The guys discuss a gutsy performance from the reigning MVP, who fair or not has all the pressure of the world on his shoulders to carry this team over the hump. Can the Bills winning like this be sustainable for the next two or three games?
Defensively the Bills started out great, fell apart for a while but again, when they absolutely had to have it, Tre White made a great play to deflect a pass that Cole Bishop intercepted to seal the game. The guys discuss their effort both good and bad, led by an incredible afternoon from White.
They also discuss some unsung heroes from the game, including Khalil Shakir and Matt Prater. That plus the Bills will have to overcome even more injuries, find a way to be better stopping the run and get their own run game going next week if they want a crack at the AFC championship the following week. That and tons more.
