·48 min·4 clips

Reed Ferguson explains how Josh Allen got the wind knocked out of him and the unbiased medical check in the blue tent.

This episode of the Team West Herr Podcast features co-hosts Brad Gelber and Buffalo Bills long snapper Reid Ferguson analyzing the team's Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans. Ferguson provides an insider's perspective on the game and the team's current mindset. The hosts discuss quarterback Josh Allen's health after a hit that sent him to the medical tent, with Ferguson reporting Allen seemed fine post-game and is known for his toughness. A main topic is the reunion with former teammate Stefon Diggs, with Ferguson stating the storyline felt more media-driven than a focal point within the locker room. The conversation details the critical final offensive series and subsequent punt from Buffalo's own end zone, with Ferguson explaining the specialist mindset and operational adjustments for a backed-up punt. He notes the defense played well despite injuries, forcing key turnovers, and mentions linebacker Dorian Williams' late entry on the final defensive play. Ferguson attributes the increasing frequency of long NFL field goals to kickers simply improving and practicing those distances more. He describes the natural "ebbs and flows" of an NFL season, expressing trust in offensive coordinator Joe Brady and Josh Allen to correct recent struggles. Running back James Cook receives praise for his dynamic play and ability to gain consistent yardage. The long snapper outlines the team's focus on resetting for a divisional matchup against the New York Jets, emphasizing the importance of winning division games. He discusses the emotional toll of a last-play loss and his personal process for moving on, which includes conversations with teammates and family. Ferguson acknowledges the challenge of three consecutive road games but sees value in getting that schedule stretch done early. The tone is conversational and insider-focused, blending fan-oriented questions with technical football insights from a player's viewpoint. Buffalo Bills fans and NFL enthusiasts seeking a player's candid, on-the-ground perspective will appreciate this episode. Listeners looking for heavy Xs and Os analysis or strong critical commentary on coaching decisions might find it less engaging.
