We've nearly run out of adjectives to describe this season! The 2017 Buffalo Bills have come off the rails, and Drew isn't far behind. Tonight we run a whole gamut of emotions as we host Erik Turner of Cover1/Locked On Bills to discuss the QB change, and talk about why some of the national criticism of McDermott should be outrightly ignored. Then Drew gets choked up as we recap BUFvsLAC, we discuss the AFC Playoff Picture and preview our matchup with the Chiefs - there's things here to exploit but it's on our coaches and players to see whether or not they want to take advantage of them.
