Four out of the last five postseasons, they\u2019ve collided. And each winter, of course, Patrick Mahomes has the right stuff.<\/p>\n<p>This offseason \u2014 more than any other \u2014 GM Brandon Beane overhauled the defense.<\/p>\n<p>As training camps across the NFL close in, let\u2019s welcome back a recurring guest: Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News.<\/p>\n<p>The worst thing anyone can do is doubt The Dad Bod. Mahomes is already an all-timer. But there are signs that maybe\u2026 possibly\u2026 finally\u2026 the Bills are able to take down their tormenter. On paper, this renovated defense should give Sean McDermott options aplenty. We analyze in full.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the GL Pod, we discuss the subject of our most recent feature story: Dalton Kincaid. Do not be surprised if Kincaid is a top 5 tight end in Year 3.<\/p>\n<p>He took his work to a different level right at One Bills Drive.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, Josh Allen needs a go-to guy in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we wrap up with AFC East talk. Who\u2019s the top challenger \u2014 Miami or New England?<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to follow Jay on social and read all of his excellent work at The Buffalo News.<\/p>\n<p>You can access video and audio of this episode above, as well as on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, everywhere you pod. Be sure to rate, review, comment, engage however you\u2019d like. Most of all, I greatly appreciate everyone who has upgraded to a paid subscription <strong>to read our story on Kincaid.<\/strong> He was remarkably candid on that fourth and 5 play and everything that came next.<\/p>\n<p data-attrs=\"{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.golongtd.com\/p\/gl-pod-is-this-the-year-the-buffalo?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}\" data-component-name=\"ButtonCreateButton\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Copy.
