Summary

Buffalo Bills fall short in a nail-biting 13-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Defense shines, holding Saquon Barkley in check and rattling Jalen Hurts with relentless pressure. Can Josh Allen and the Bills overcome consistent offensive mistakes and a costly missed two-point conversion as they face a tough playoff road from the wild card spot? Jeremy White, Joe Marino, and Jerry Ostroski break down the Bills’ gritty performance, highlighting James Cook’s emergence as a vertical threat, the offensive line’s struggles, and strategic questions surrounding late-game decisions and the kicker situation. With the AFC East title slipping to the New England Patriots, discussion heats up on Buffalo’s playoff odds, Josh Allen’s heroics and health, and whether the Bills have enough firepower to make a deep run. Can playoff adversity forge a championship contender, or is Buffalo simply outmatched this year?

0:56.1

Hi, Jeremy White, Joe Marino and the big O Jerry Ostrowski with a little post game for you here on Bill's Eagles.

1:02.6

As expected, some of what happened in this game went as expected.

1:06.6

The thing I like to say, guys, we talked about it midweek.

1:09.3

Eagles games are rock fights.

1:11.3

Final score 13, 12, physical, nasty. We nearly get some bills miracle heroics yet again, another

1:19.9

double-digit comeback. This one falls short on a two-point conversion. They could have,

1:23.7

of course, gone to overtime. So lots to get to your comments, your questions, things you want to bring up. I have a feeling people will be pretty upset with a number of things with the offense today, whether that's Joe Brady or the run game, which couldn't get going. But the bills lose 13 to 12. And it's just a tough one. It's a tough loss because these comebacks, you get so close. You have a two-point conversion play, and you had it. You missed it. Josh Allen, who it's tough for us to ask a lot more of sometimes. I feel like you've got to ask for more. He needs that play. Yeah, no doubt about it. I think Josh Allen made several mistakes in this game. but I'll be honest with you, it's only a tough loss if the Dolphins beat the Patriots next week, to be honest with you. I think in many ways this game went a lot better than I thought it might. I was blown away by the defensive performance, especially against Sequin Barkley, it's an offense that in the rain with a quarterback with a bum leg against a really, really exceptional defense, you know, made too many mistakes, but had a lot of great opportunities. And so I don't know that we learned anything about the bills in this football game. And I thought they were gritty. They were resilient. They overcame a lot of mistakes. Had a great chance to win it at the end, make an accurate throw, win a ball game. And you don't do that and you take a loss. But to me, it's only a tough loss if the Patriots beat the Dolphins next week. Yeah, I think when you look at this game, I mean, the biggest shock to me was actually this run defense of the bills, just able to show, you know, you held Sequan Barkley to, I think, 60-some yards.

2:55.5

I mean, they did an unbelievable job defensively in the run game.

2:58.5

Then, you know, you look at the way they blitz.

3:00.9

And the way the bills bring their pressure packages, there's only probably one more quarterback that's as indecisive in these situations in

3:09.8

Chodor Sanders, and that's Jalen Hertz.

3:11.8

And the way the bill's pressure on third down falls right into that.

3:15.9

I mean, that's the wheelhouse of playing Philadelphia is to get Hertz

3:20.1

and decisive, get them moving, and they did that.
