Billieve: Are the Bills a playoff team and other bye week musings

Host John Boccacino is joined by co-host Jamie D'Amico to assess the state of the 2019 Buffalo Bills heading into the bye week. At 4-1, the Bills are tied for second place in the AFC East, and their only loss came to the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. Led by an elite defense that is suffocating its opponents, and with an improved Josh Allen quarterbacking the offense, our podcasters address whether the Bills are a playoff team. Boccacino and D'Amico give their biggest reasons to be excited about this team (excellent third down defense, an improved rushing attack led by the ageless Frank Gore, the emergence of CB Levi Wallace, and the strides made by Allen in Brian Daboll's offense); and their biggest concerns (a disturbing lack of a pass rush, the lack of depth at linebacker, the Cody Ford experiment at right tackle, and erratic play from Buffalo's special teams).
