Summary

The Buffalo Bills are in a weird spot after the Darius Slay situation goes sideways and the injury list keeps growing before their big game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Marino gets real about what the failed roster move means, whether Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott are actually seeing eye to eye, and the ripple effect on Buffalo’s playoff hopes. With Dalton Kincaid and Spencer Brown banged up, will the Bills have enough pieces ready to roll? Dr. Kyle Trimble drops by with some inside info on injury updates, from James Cook’s breakout opportunities to Joey Bosa’s outlook and why Chase Brown is a name to watch on the Bengals side. This episode covers why the running backs could steal the show, defensive worries, and Joe Burrow’s streak against Buffalo. Can the Bills shake off all this drama and protect home turf? The path to the postseason is far from settled—catch all the details here.
