Talking Buffalo

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective for a special Buffalo Sabres season preview in addition to discussing the Buffalo Bills big game coming up on Sunday in Houston against the Texans.The NHL regular season kicks off for the Sabres overseas tomorrow as they face the New Jersey Devils on consecutive days. The guys preview the team and season, starting with the new identity they're clearly trying to build between Lindy Ruff back again as head coach and the far more physical fourth line they put together this summer through a trade and a few free agent signings.They also discuss some of the team's biggest questions, including if Ruff can reignite this offense to be really good again like it was two years ago, how long Jordan Greenway is likely to last in a top nine forward role, will Owen Power take the next step and if this is ultimately the year the team breaks their existing NHL record for longest playoff drought. One thing seems for sure---several things will have to break Buffalo's way for it to happen.Meanwhile the Bills are trying to bounce back with a tough game in Houston this Sunday after getting pounded by Baltimore last week in their first loss of the season. It was already going to be a hard go for the Bills as it was and things aren't getting any easier following the news that Von Miller has been suspended for four games while both Dion Dawkins and Khalil Shakir were unable to practice on Wednesday because of injuries. The guys discuss that and a handful of guys that simply need to step up.That plus you knew the Stefon Diggs chatter was going to be huge this week and plenty more.You can follow PK on Twitter @PK_BSC and check out the Buffalo Sports Collective podcast.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren for SB Nations to discuss several Buffalo Bills and AFC topics, including a discussion of why the Bills interior defensive line is largely underachieving so far this season.The Bills have won three of their first four games and for the most the defense has played well. However, the defensive tackle has surprisingly been inconsistent if not a sore spot. Ed Oliver has looked ordinary at times and invisible at others while DaQuan Jones hasn't come close to the effective start he had over the first month last season, when it could be argued he was the team's defensive MVP early on. Patrick and Matt discuss both guys and try to figure out why they're not getting the production that at times becomes sorely missed, none so more than Sunday night in Baltimore when both were complete non-factors. They also discuss veteran addition Austin Johnson and third-round rookie DeWayne Carter getting off to very slow starts as well.Defensive tackle play wasn't the only area of this team that feels exposed on the hells of the Bills embarrassing loss in Baltimore Sunday night. The guys discuss why they think this team has both a safety and wide receiver problem, something that's been brewing since before the start of training camp.That said, the guys are careful to not completely overreact to one game and offer perspective on Buffalo winning three of their first four games. Matt also has some thoughts from around the league, including the Miami Dolphins being absolute toast already in the AFC east, the New York Jets a team that feels completely capable of imploding, the Kansas City Chiefs continuing to find ways to win every week, respect due to the Ravens and plenty more.You can follow Matt on Twitter @MattRichWarren and be sure to check out Buffalo Rumblings for your (really good) daily Bills content.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran watched the game film and analyzed the PFF grades and has a series of his biggest Buffalo Bills takeaways following their Week four blowout loss at Baltimore on Sunday night.It's just one game and the Bills are 3-1 a month into the season. If Bills fans and probably the team was offered winning three of their first four before the season started most would've jumped on that. The sky isn't falling and it's worth recognizing that. With that said this was an ugly loss and it's perfectly reasonable to raise questions with multiple areas of this team on the heels of it.That starts with the safeties and Patrick talks about being convinced the Bills have a significant safety problem and wonders if the solution is currently on the roster. One thing he's convinced about it's that the solution wasn't on the field Sunday night. Taylor Rapp and particularly Damar Hamlin were hard to watch against the Ravens.Patrick also wonders why Curtis Samuel hasn't fit into the Bills offense at all a full month into the season and starts to recall that this type of player seems to come and go every year. The difference however is that past candidates weren't costing $8 million. Also, where's Dawson Knox?Most the takeaways from Baltimore, thankfully are considered just as bad night for the Bills and not recurring/chronic problems. Patrick talks about the coaching and both sides of the lines being awful against the Ravens but still having a fair amount of confidence in all those areas. That plus a look ahead and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens just minutes after the Buffalo Bills were thoroughly dominated on Sunday night road game by the Baltimore Ravens for instant reactions---the (very little) good, (very) bad and (very) ugly of Buffalo's Week four debacle.Almost nothing went right for the Bills in this one on either side of the ball, especially on a defense that hasn't looked this completely outmanned and outgunned in a very long time. Baltimore scored touchdowns on their fist three drives to jump to a 21-3 lead and were never legitimately threatened at any point of the game. In fact the Ravens ran up 238 yards and 12 first downs on their first three possessions, including a team-record 87 yard touchdown run by Derrick Henry on Baltimore's first offensive snap of the game.The guys have thoughts on the Bills decimated defense finally catching up to them, making sure to realize that it goes far beyond just the replacement starters. Patrick Moran has plenty of thoughts on Damar Hamlin, who was as mess out there and Patrick thinks it may be time for Sean McDermott to pick up the phone and call Micah Hyde.Things weren't much better on offense either, as Josh Allen received almost no help. At the end of the day though, it's one game and one loss. Patrick and Joe try to stick to big picture stuff as opposed to this Sunday nightmare, though there's now some legitimate reason to worry.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran previews the Buffalo Bills vs Baltimore Ravens matchup coming up this Sunday night in Baltimore, with keys to the contest for Buffalo as well as a handful of bold predictions for the game and a final score.Patrick's still dealing with Covid but it's not stopping him from deep diving into this game including talking about why Baltimore's just 1-2 after their first three games and why this one is so important for them to get back on track. He discusses their elite run but poor pass defense so far this year with of course an emphasis on the Ravens offense led by Derrick Henry and two-time MVP Lamar Jackson.Meanwhile the Bills are undefeated and riding high. Patrick talks about why he thinks coaching has played such a big part of that before getting into Buffalo's biggest keys, which includes Josh Allen staying patient, finding a way to contain the run with light boxes and weathering the storm.From there Patrick has a few bold predictions, including a Dawson Knox touchdown. strong game from DaQuan Jones and plenty of field goals before the team before concluding with a close one score game prediction.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, we're back after missing the past two days because of Patrick Moran catching Covid, and he's joined by frenemy and recurring guest Joe From Queens to discuss the good, bad and ugly from the Buffalo Bills complete beatdown of Jacksonville in prime time on Monday night, 47-10.It was almost surreal how completely dominating Buffalo was in all phases of the game against a team they've played some of their worst football against in recent years. The guys have plenty to say about Josh Allen adding elements to his game that appear to make him utterly unstoppable at times, aided by great game planning and play calling from his offensive coordinator and a a pair of offensive tackles that kept the talented Jags pass rush completely at bay all night long. The result was a difference between Allen and Trevor Lawrence that simply looked monumental.The guys also talk about Christian Benford becoming an elite cornerback on defense, Von Miller having a sack in each of his first three games, Damar Hamlin having his first interception since nearly dying on the field a few years ago and an overall defense that continues to get the job done despite a series of significant injuries.It wasn't quite all good though. Joe has thoughts on Keon Coleman being benched for the first quarters while Patrick expresses a little concern for the slot corner position going forward if Taron Johnson is back real soon.That plus Patrick talks about how the whole Covid thing went down over the weekend, thoughts on the ESPN broadcast Monday night and tons more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Anthony Marino for an extensive preview of the Buffalo Bills upcoming Monday night showdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars in addition to a handful of bold predictions for the game.The teams are going in opposite directions early in the season, with Buffalo undefeated and Jacksonville winless two weeks in. However, the last thing Buffalo should be going into this contest is overconfident. The guys talk about how for whatever reason or combination of them the Bills always seem to play some of their worst football when facing Jacksonville, including least year in London where the Bills were shutout for nearly 29 minutes to start the game and lost two key players for the long haul in the first quarter alone.They spend some time discussing this year's version of the Jags, which includes an outstanding pass rush on defense but has suffered from struggles galore on offense. In fact, Trevor Lawrence has lost his last seven starts at quarterback.Patrick and Anthony highlight the keys to the game for Buffalo to pick up their straight win to start 2024, including getting off to a fast start and a strong game from an offensive line that's surely to be tested. From there, they offer a series of bold prediction for the game, take a stab at picking the final score and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by longtime Buffalo News reporter and columnist Mike Harrington for an extensive Buffalo Sabres training camp preview.Training camp always seems to come quietly because the Buffalo Bills are a few games into their season, but camp for the Sabres this time around is the start of what will be a critical season as the hockey club tries to end it's NHL all-time record playoff drought at 13 years. Mike has plenty of thoughts on if general manager Kevyn Adams' job hangs in the balance of making the postseason, painting a potential picture where the Sabres could miss and he still kept his job.As for camp, there doesn't appear to be a lot of roster spots that aren't already locked in but that doesn't mean it will lack for storylines. Mike has takes on if he thinks Jason Zucker or Zach Benson will get first crack to skate with Dylan Cozens and Jack Quinn, is Jiri Kulich a legitimate candidate to crack the roster, how the bottom six is taking shape including newly re-signed Peyton Krebs, which makes Mike wonder if Krebs could become part of a trade.They also spend time talking about the goaltenders, if last season was the real version of UPL and how the No. 2 spot may play out between Devon Levi and James Reimer. That plus what Mike anticipates being different at camp now that Lindy Ruff is running things instead of Don Granato, what Buffalo needs to do to make the arena feel alive for home games again, the chances he thinks Buffalo makes the playoffs and tons more.Follow Mike Harrington on Twitter @ByMHarrington and of course support local journalism, which needs your support now more than ever by subscribing to The Buffalo News.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation's Matt Warren to discuss several Buffalo Bills and NFL topics, including what Buffalo sample size metrics so far this season feel the most sustainable.The Bills have begun the season with wins over Arizona and divisional rival Miami and have looked good doing it. However, how much of their early sample size is sustainable? Patrick gives Matt several scenarios and asks him to score them on a sustainability level from 1-10, including Von Miller on pace for double digit sacks, Josh Allen having fewer than 10 interceptions, James Cook having over 1,250 yards rushing and no pass catcher finishing the season with 75 catches or 850 receiving yards. It's a fun exercise with a few surprising answers.Matt also has thoughts on who he's most and least impressed with around the NFL through the first two weeks as well as what's most surprised by. That and much more.You can follow Matt on Twitter @MattRichWarren and be sure to check out Buffalo Rumblings for your (really good) daily Bills content.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the episode where the audience controls the narrative and topics. Patrick Moran's responding to several takes and questions, including James Cook looking like he's taking another step towards truly becoming a star player for the Buffalo Bills through their first two games.The statistics don't blow you away even with his three touchdown performance in Miami, but Cook's running style and ability (so far) to be a reliable pass catcher out of the backfield if giving off some serious Le'Veon Bell vibes. Bell was once widely regarded as the best running back in football from 2014-17 with his distinct running style and all-around ability. Patrick talks about what's looked different this year than last from Cook, even with Cook having an impressive statistical 2023 campaign.Patrick also responds to questions about takes regarding where the Bills look to be stacking up right now compared to the rest of the league based on a small sample size, what his confidence level is in Braylon Spector replacing Terrell Bernard for the time being, how he's feeling going into the Week three matchup against Jacksonville and being unafraid to admit when he's dead wrong about predictions.There's also a few Sabres topics revolving around training camp opening this week, including being asked what he thinks the chances are Sabres first-round draft pick Konstas Helenius makes the team out of camp in addition the effect he expects Lindy Ruff to have on the team and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to discuss several Buffalo Bills (and Sabres) topics, including the outstanding job Bills head coach Sean McDermott is again doing early in the season.Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel gets a lot of hype but the guys talk about how once again it was McDermott coaching circles around him last week in a lopsided Buffalo road win to improve to 2-0 on the season. Patrick considers it his single-biggest takeaway from the game adn PK has plenty to say about the team buying into everything Sean's doing and saying.Also, the Bills offense doesn't necessarily feel like it's been very effective but early season metrics suggest otherwise. The guys have a discussion about getting used to what's clearly a different Bills offense than we've seen in recent years.Additionally, Sabres training camp starts later this week with veterans reporting. What is PK most eager to see unfold during camp and the preseason and what's his overall level of excitement?That plus a look around the NFL from Week two Sunday, should Tua retire and much more.You can follow PK on Twitter @PK_BSC and check out the Buffalo Sports Collective podcast.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this bonus Saturday edition of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran shares some of his biggest Buffalo Bills takeaways from their thrashing of Miami on Thursday night, including some points he missed in the instant reactions postgame shows and a few observations after watching the film, including pointing out a few unsung heroes.As Patrick explains, one of his favorite things to do and reasons why he watches the All-22 film isn't to educate you about alignments, gaps, route trees and other football terminology---he's not smart enough for that anyway. What he does however is learn who some of the unsung heroes are on the biggest plays of the game and/or the culprits when plays don't well--and relay that information to you. Patrick picks out three plays from this game and explains who played key roles, including James Cook's 49 yard touchdown, Ja'Marcus Ingram's pick six and Ty Johnson's 33 yard reception against the league's highest paid cornerback.Patrick also has very high praise for the job Sean McDermott is doing with the Bills in addition to some love for Ingram, some care for Tua, why he wouldn't resist recording this episode at 1:40am to drop on a Saturday where the audience is much smaller and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens with instant reactions just minutes following the Buffalo Bills taking the Miami Dolphins to the woodshed in their own stadium, 31-10 Thursday night at Hard Rock Stadium.Even with Terrell Bernard lost to a potential major injury earlier to add to the already walking wounded defense, Bobby Babich's defense absolutely dominated Miami and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who tossed three interceptions including a pick six to Ja'Marcus Ingram before leaving the game with a concussion after being hit by Damar Hamlin late in the third quarter.The guys happily eat some crow, talk about the Buffalo dominant defense and how the offense didn't even really matter. Also, is Miami fraudulent and in particular their head coach, Mike McDaniel. That and plenty more as Buffalo goes on the road to smack a division rival and move to 2-0 on the season.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of tonight's Week two clash between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in addition to a bunch of bold predictions for the game.Both Buffalo and Miami survived opening week scares at home to win their first games as we head into what's already a potentially pivotal matchup just two weeks into the season. Patrick breaks down where both teams are at heading into the game, including some injuries to each squad that could have an impact on this game and beyond.Of course for Buffalo, the Bills dominance of Miami in recent years has been led by the absurdly elite play of Josh Allen, who's won AFC Offensive Player of the Week a mind blowing five times in 12 career regular season games against the Dolphins. Should we be prepared for more of the same and will his injured finger(s) be a problem at Hard Rock Stadium?Patrick spends plenty of time going over their keys to the game for Buffalo, biggest concerns within the Bills and ultimately a host of bold predictions as well as picks/scores for the game itself from each. That and plenty more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation Associate Director Matt Warren to discuss some final takeaways from the Buffalo Bills opening week victory before quickly turning the page to look ahead to Thursday night's important early season AFC east showdown at the Miami Dolphins.Happy to say here that Matt will be a recurring guest on Talking Buffalo throughout this season and he debuts today with some of things he's most and least excited about with the Bills on the heels of their victory over Arizona to start the season 1-0. The play of Josh Allen and Greg Rousseau is obvious, but what else is Matt happy about? Conversely, there's players and areas of concern about this team in need of discussion and Matt lays out some of them as well.Then the focus gets shifted to Miami, where the pair of 1-0 teams will clash in prime time on Thursday. The Bills have utterly owned the Dolphins during the Josh Allen era, going 10-2 with Josh winning AFC Offensive Player of the Week a mind blowing five times against Miami alone through his career. What are some things that need to happen for Allen and Buffalo's dominance to continue.? The guys take a look at the strengths and weakness of Miami and start to piece together a preview.That plus Matt has some thoughts from ongoings around the league, some talk about Buffalo Rumblings and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran offers his biggest takeaways after analyzing the Pro Football Focus grades and watching the game film of the Buffalo Bills season opening 34-28 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.It doesn't take a film expert or guru on any level to conclude the Bills are 1-0 this week because Josh Allen and Gregory Rousseau respectively both played like superstars. So much in fact that that Patrick barely spends any time during this episode discussing them. They were great---that's obvious.Instead Patrick dives into some other takeaways from the game both good and bad for Buffalo, highlighted by an unexpected (very) good game from Bills reserve defensive back Cam Lewis, who was pressed into action early after All-Pro cornerback Taron Johnson was injured just four minutes into the first quarter. Lewis played surprisingly great against then run and was good enough in pass defense as well and his performance went a long way towards keeping the Bills defense from completely falling apart.Conversely, Ed Oliver didn't just struggle but was downright invisible Sunday. Patrick talks about him in addition to the borderline shocking usage of the defensive line starters, success James Cook had running the football on first downs, Keon Coleman changing the mind quickly of critics, the safety position continuing to be worrisome and a breakdown of who was responsible on Buffalo's botched kickoff coverage play that allowed Arizona to stay in the game after the Bills went up two scores.That plus a big event coming to Imperial Pizza this week, a (very) quick look at Miami and what's on tap here at Talking Buffalo for the rest of the week plus much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by frenemy and recurring guest Joe From Queens to react to the good, bad and ugly of the Buffalo Bills season opening 34-28 victory over the Arizona Cardinals to kick off their 2024 campaign.Without question it was far more stressful than most figured it would be but in the end Buffalo pulled out a one score victory, overcoming an early 17-3 deficit in the first half where the Bills looked completely out of sorts in every aspect. The guys talk about how "double dipping" actually proved to be a huge turning point of the game and a defense that didn't show up in the first half bottle down Arizona and Kylar Murray in the second half.On the good side, Josh Allen is discussed as he showed why he's one of the best players in the league. Also, Greg Rousseau had one of if not his most impactful game as a pro on an afternoon where the defense desperately needed it in addition to a few UB kids stepping up in Cam Lewis and JaMarcus Ingram.On the bad side, Ed Oliver and the defensive tackles were essentially missing in action all day. Patrick has an Oliver rant for the ages. There was also some ugly to this game too, including a few terrible officiating calls, stupid penalties and the Bills kickoff coverage. This and much more from today's opener.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this special edition of Talking Buffalo, it's the final in a weeklong series of Buffalo Bills season previews as Patrick Moran is joined by both Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News and Nate Geary from WGR550 to discuss the Bills as well as the rest of the NFL in a conversation recorded live at Imperial Pizza in South Buffalo.Safety, wide receiver, offensive line depth and kicker have been perceived as the Bills biggest question marks going into the season and each are discussed here. Do Jay and Nate truly believe in the mantra "everybody eats" and it being a successful formula or do they think there's truly a problem looming with the passing game? Damar Hamlin is a good story but will he be a good starting safety on this team this season? You can't expect the offensive line to go injury free like it did in 2023, do they trust any of the backups? Will one big missed kick early send Tyler Bass into a tailspin?Obviously it's far from doom and gloom with the Bills in spite of some shortcomings. The guys talk about areas and players of this team they're highest on, including the Bills newest captain at middle linebacker Terrel Bernard. It may take Josh Allen to have a MVP season for the Bills to legitimately compete for a championship but fortunately for him he's completely got that in him.The guys then offer a series of Bills predictions and takes in addition to some thoughts about the AFC east, other teams and players around the league and much more. It's the final Bills scheduled Bills preview show before the real thing!Big shout-out and thank you once again to Imperial Pizza for being a gracious host and for their excellent wings. They now have two locations, 1035 Abbott Road and 1665 Main Street♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined in studio by longtime friend and recurring guest Tone Pucks to go over the state of the Buffalo Bills roster positionally just days before the regular season kicks off Sunday against Arizona.It's been done periodically on this show before but with training camp and the preseason over with the roster pretty much set for the season, it's a good time to go position-by-position with the Bills and discuss what's likely to be good or bad with them. How much of the widely assumed Bills roster being less than last year is national perception from those not intimately familiar with it and how much feels accurate from those who are in the weeds with this team?They also include several of the offseason losses in these discussions and how much effect they expect it to have on this year's roster. Patrick comes up with two veteran departures that he thinks may ultimately hurt most, and probably not the names you expected to hear.Also the Bills released their "official" depth chart on Tuesday and there's a few interesting things worth talking about. That plus season expectations, a little MLB talk and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's Talking Buffalo, it's the start of a weeklong worth of Buffalo Bills season preview episodes and Patrick Moran is joined by frenemy and recurring guest Joe From Queens to go over a bunch of individual and team Bills 2024 predictions.After months of OTAs, mini camp, training camp and the preseason we've finally reached the start of the 2024 NFL season. The Bills are still ranked pretty high in terms of Super Bowl, conference champions, divisional champs betting odds but not the prohibitive favorite they've been for the previous three seasons. The guys discuss what they most and least like about this team before jumping into 20 specific individual and team predictions that Joe came up with to discuss.Among them, besides the obvious is which player will be the biggest offensive surprise in a good way, who'll lead the team in interceptions, if the scoring defense will be better than it was last year, biggest disappointment on the defense and boldest predictions for both sides of the ball.That plus plenty of Bills/NFL talk including how things are looking on the injury front, a few regular segments and more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is discussing what he considers a handful of under the radar X-factors when it comes to the Buffalo Bills as the regular season draws very close.Josh Allen will always be the singular biggest factor on if the Bills have a good season as long as he's in a Buffalo uniform and other things are obvious as well, but there's some players and scenarios that don't get discussed as much but could end up proving critical to the team's fortunes. Patrick lists and elaborates on some including the new anchor of the Buffalo offensive line playing the way they expect, the probability that unproven depth will have to step up on that line, a smallish kick and punt returner the Bills recently traded for, a young linebacker tasked with trying to adequately replace Matt Milano for the majority if not all the regular season and a pair of wide receivers who may be counted on more than you think, especially if Keon Coleman is a little slow coming out of the gate.Patrick also has thoughts on a pair of interesting prospects the team just added to the prospects---a former first-round safety in Lewis Cine and a speedster wide receiver formerly of the Denver Broncos in Jalen Virgil. That plus Patrick really likes the Bills practice squad and plenty more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Anthony Marino to discuss a few of things we hoped to learn more about with the Buffalo Bills this summer but didn't among other roster topics as the regular season draws near.Wide receiver and safety were two positions fans of the team were hoping to get more clarity from, but both spots feel as muddled and uncertain today as it was before training camp started in July. The guys talk about why and for varying reasons---- the safety position getting hit hard by camp and preseason injuries while no one really stood out good or bad among the receivers.Also, Josh Allen was voted as the NFL most overrated pole in an ESPN poll of 103 current players. The guys respond to this absurdity and point out that bulletin board material can be a good thing for Buffalo, as we found out late last season.Anthony also thoughts about the Bills 53-man roster decisions, what he likes most and least about this team, his biggest X-factor going into the season, a record prediction and much more.

It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the weekly episode where the audience controls the narrative and topics. Today's highlighted by several Buffalo Bills topics, including Patrick being asked to name the development he's been most pleasantly surprised by with the Bills this summer.It's been a largely uneventful summer for the Bills at training camp and preseason with the exception of the Matt Milano injuries. We never got exciting safety and wide receiver position battles like we anticipated but that doesn't mean there weren't some positive developments. Patrick's asked to discuss what he considers the most prominent development from the start camp or through now and comes up with cornerback showing to have talented depth, led by Kaiir Elam and JaMarcus Ingram.The Bills initial 53-man roster was revealed on Tuesday and Patrick has a handful of thoughts, highlighted of course by the Cinderella story coming true as "Buffalo" Joe Andreesson defied the odds and made the team. While it'll be talked about and celebrated to death if not already, it doesn't take away from it being an incredible underdog story for the Buffalo born and raised kid.Also, there's a handful of questions and comments targeting Bills GM Brandon Beane and the Kansas City Chiefs, more specifically a KC fan thanking Beane for "gift wrapping" them so many great players and another fan who considers Beane's track record with Buffalo as mediocre, which puts Patrick into Beane defender mode.That plus thoughts on recurring guest Joe From Queens, a little follow up from Patrick's big family reunion and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by frenemy and recurring guest Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics, including what players could be in line to potentially receive big paydays.Training camp and the preseason are over for the Bills and we'll be getting a good idea of what their final roster looks like over the next 24 hours. There's also a chance that a player or two may end getting an extension before the regular season starts. The guys discuss a few of those candidates as well as a few others who haven't shown enough to warrant a huge pay day quite yet but could quickly find themselves near the front of the line if they play well this year.They also debut a couple of new segments for when Joe is on, including the "Mt. Flushmore" where Joe lists the four worst or something---this time Buffalo Bills head coaches in addition to a "start, sit and cut" exercise, this week featuring supporting characters from The Sopranos.Patrick also has a few stories from his family reunion in New Jersey last weekend that was long overdue plus a little Yankees talk, traffic is insane in NYC/NJ and more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran takes a look at what current Buffalo Bills players have helped and hurt themselves the most over the past month at training camp and the preseason as we're not just days away from the start of the 2024 NFL regular season.The Bills still have a preseason finale this Saturday at home versus Carolina to get through but by in large the 53-man roster is mostly set. Patrick spends a few minutes talking about who he thinks is making the team before turning his attention to what players have elevated and devalued their stock the most since training camp began late in July.On the positive side of course is linebacker Joe Andreesson, who may be on the cusp of going from a rookie minicamp tryout invitee to making the final cut. It's also been a good summer in Patrick's estimation for some of the late round draft picks, including Javon Solomon and Tylan Grable.Conversely, Mitch Trubisky has been hard to watch and that's before he injured his knee during the Pittsburgh game last week. Also, La'el Collins is a veteran the team was looking for with offensive line depth but hasn't delivered and Marquez Scaldes-Vantling has been quite the enigma. What does his future hold?That plus Patrick talks about a road trip he's taking this weekend means a lot to him and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the weekly episode where the audience controls the narrative and topics. Patrick Moran is responding to several takes and questions, including a fan annoyed with the all the negative talk about the Buffalo Bills who asks for---and receives a completely optimistic outlook for the team in 2024.The Bills have been in the playoffs every year since 2019 and have won the AFC east the past four seasons, yet there's a national perception that this team is in big trouble in 2024, a school of thought that seems to be growing on a local and fan base level as well. There's several key departures from last year's team and significant-to-nagging injuries this summer piling up that has many worried. Patrick is among them but for the purpose of this exercise tells everyone why it's incredibly realistic for Buffalo to still keep their divisional reign intact and remain a legitimate Super Bowl contender.That said, there's reasons to pump the brakes on Buffalo's 2024 expectation and several submissions refer to that, including takes on a less than desirable early impression during the preseason from rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman and an overall failure to adequately replace what departed from last year.There's also thoughts on "Buffalo Joe" making the Bills and what may happen if he doesn't, Dawson Knox bouncing back, criticism at a Talking Buffalo regular guest and plenty more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by good friend Joe Miller from Overreaction Buffalo to discuss 10 players Patrick firmly believes are on the Buffalo Bills roster bubble just roughly a week before the initial 53-man roster is set.Truthfully speaking, there's not really a lot of true competition for roster spots at most position when it comes to the Bills right now. The vast majority of who'll be wearing a Buffalo uniform come Week one of the regular season feels mostly set. However, there's a handful of guys at a couple of positions, notably wide receiver, interior offensive line, linebacker and perhaps safety where things are very much up in the air. Patrick and Joe discuss these spots and the players vying to fill them and attempt to sort out who has the best chance of sticking, how much injuries have played a role and if they can release certain players and still expect them available to join the practice squad. Highlighted among them is linebacker Joe Andreesson, which is remarkable that the undrafted and unsigned immediately following the draft local kid has even played himself into the mix to be a consideration. Other players may find themselves on or off the roster bubble directly due to recent injuries.The guys also talk about Joe forming the Overreaction Buffalo network alongside former Bills players John Fina and Jerry Ostroski following the termination of the Buffalo Rumblings podcast network, what their plans and goals are with their coverage, what's unique about it and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to talk about the Joe Andreesson Cinderella seemingly coming to life in front of our eyes and several other Buffalo Bills significant takeaways as the regular season draws near.With Terrell Bernard being held out for precautionary reasons and Baylon Spector injured, Andrreesson drew the start on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers and holy hell, did the undrafted linebacker answer the bell, recording 12 tackles including a pair for losses. Over the past few weeks the kid from Lancaster high school and the University at Buffalo went from being a roster add on following a try out to a guy who now seems to have a (very) legitimate chance of making the Bills 53-man roster or at the very least, the practice squad. The guys have plenty of takes.They also talk about the poop show that has been backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky, Keon Coleman not making much a preseason impact and more questions than ever with the wide receiver position. On the flipside, rookies DaQuan Hardy and Javon Solomon are starting to make a name for themselves for the right reasons, and the Bills running backs looked good in Pittsburgh.That plus reaction to a critical comment made by someone from The Buffalo News, thoughts on what was a horribly produced local Bills broadcast, props to a woman celebrating her 101st birthday and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel♦♦♦♦♦If you’re looking into setting up a golf practice/enjoyment station in your home, basement, garage or backyard — SimTurf is your golf oasis, featuring premium synthetic turf.

Regardless of how you feel about the roster it's certainly one that's changed a lot over the past season.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined for a second time this week by frenemy and recurring guest Joe From Queens for a conversation about some under-the-radar players on the Bills that may end up needing to step up big in addition to the wide receiver room continuing to have more questions than answers.There's still time before the regular the season and ultimately what we see during training camp and the preseason may prove to be pointless, but at least the back half of the Bills receiving room has left something to be desired. Injuries and possibly underwhelming play led Brandon Beane to sign two veterans this week (Damiere Byrd and Deon Cain) in addition to reportedly working out Corey Davis, a former fifth overall pick in 2017. The guys discuss what they're currently thinking at the position, and end up revisiting the Stefon Diggs trade for the 10,000 time.Also, Injuries happen to key players on teams every season and as a result depth guys need to be prepared to step up. Of course, every player on the 53-man roster could potentially see their role increase due to injuries or other circumstances at any given time, but we're locking on six players that Patrick can see becoming important role players on the Bills this year if not more. Among them discussed as Joe vaguely pretends to be interested are Alec Anderson, Kaiir Elam, Mack Hollins, Dorian Williams, Cam Lewis and Austin Johnson.That plus a Browns vs Vikings scrimmaged has Patrick extremely worried, a Patriots trade of Matthew Judon that's tied to something personal to Patrick and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel♦♦♦♦♦If you’re looking into setting up a golf practice/enjoyment station in your home, basement, garage or backyard — SimTurf is your golf oasis, featuring premium synthetic turf.

It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the weekly episode where the audience controls the narrative and topics. Patrick Moran is responding to several takes and questions, including naming his current top 10 players on the Buffalo Bills roster and loads of opinions about how the team is looking.If you're a regular consumer of this show it's not secret that Patrick is a fan of power rankings. He likes to rank nearly everything, so it was fun to be asked to rank the 10 best players on the Bills things currently stand. Josh Allen at the top is a given but there's some player positioning and perhaps a name or two left off that may be raise a few eyebrows.There's also several questions and comments about the roster, in part based off last weekend's preseason opening debacle at home against the Chicago Bears. The safety position may be becoming the team's biggest question mark if it wasn't already and Patrick expresses plenty of concern himself.Plus, Javon Solomon shows some juice, MVS is doing MVS things, many who think the preseason means absolutely nothing, a few takes on the latest Bills news and plenty more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel♦♦♦♦♦If you’re looking into setting up a golf practice/enjoyment station in your home, basement, garage or backyard — SimTurf is your golf oasis, featuring premium synthetic turf.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by frenemy and recurring guest Joe From Queens to discuss among other topics what, if anything should matter about evaluating a Buffalo Bills preseason game.The Bills were manhandled in every phase of their game during their preseason opening 33-6 loss at home to Chicago. That said, there's several factors that contributed to that, ranging from key starters on the defense not playing at all, to several players admitting they didn't game plan for Chicago, not to mention the Bears already playing their second preseason game. Still, for the most part the Bills stunk and it wasn't fun to watch at all. The question is, does it matter? The guys discuss that.Included in that conversation is Patrick feeling like nothing that he saw from the game did a single thing to alleviate any concerns he had about some positions and players going in---including the safety position, offensive line depth and the backup(s) to Josh Allen should the franchise quarterback be forced to miss a little time.They also ponder the question that if the preseason is so meaningless and it's not worth game planning for your opponent at all, why even bother playing Allen or any established starter for that matter? That plus a few bright spots if you're going to bother evaluating the game, what they want to see going forward and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel♦♦♦♦♦If you’re looking into setting up a golf practice/enjoyment station in your home, basement, garage or backyard — SimTurf is your golf oasis, featuring premium synthetic turf.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick has a smorgasbord of his biggest takeaways, both small and potentially large from the Buffalo Bills preseason opening dud against the Chicago Bears.Preseason marks excitement for the return of NFL football but is often meaningless. You're especially hoping that's the case if you're a Bills fan. Surely Sean McDermott won't be in the best of mood as the team returns to practice this week and Patrick has plenty of thoughts on why he shouldn't be.Among them is an offensive line, all three units that couldn't make a block to save their lives, especially in the running game. Again, preseason or not it's a little alarming as all five starters were with the team last year. Also, quarterback play from the moment Josh Allen departed wasn't exactly stellar, nor was the second or third team defense.On the brighter side, we saw glimpses from the offense worthy of exciting including plays from wide receivers Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel and Keon Coleman. We also saw a solid debut from Austin Johnson on the defensive side and some flash from rookie edge rusher Javon Solomon.That plus a few camp darlings that didn't get a chance to do much against Chicago, game awards, a look at what's ahead and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel♦♦♦♦♦If you’re looking into setting up a golf practice/enjoyment station in your home, basement, garage or backyard — SimTurf is your golf oasis, featuring premium synthetic turf.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Anthony Marino to discuss several takeaways from the Buffalo Bills final day of training camp, including Matt Milano looking like a man ready to play football again at a high level.Patrick was at St. John's Fisher for the Bills 11th and final practice of training camp in Rochester, and Milano being on the field for every snap with the first team defense during every drill and looking good in doing so has him and Anthony extremely optimistic heading into preseason action beginning Saturday versus Chicago.There's other observations Patrick took note of from practice that he shares with Anthony, including MVS smoking Christian Benford for the lone "big" play of the day, Ray Davis getting a lot of first-team offense opportunities and the pairing of the second offensive line unit.They also discuss the biggest stock risers and fallers of Bills training camp, some national media praise on the team, starters playing on Saturday, what they're most looking forward to seeing and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to discuss observations from the Buffalo Bills second-to-last practice of training camp at St. John's Fisher in addition to thoughts on the team's initial released depth chart.The Bills hit the field for public viewing practice for the second last time on Wednesday and there's plenty of talking points from practice in addition to overall developing storylines. Among the topics discussed by the guys is James Cook having ball stability issues, Matt Milano progressing nicely, a very nice day for wide receiver KJ Hamler and Damar Hamlin looking like he could be ready to put a stranglehold on the starting free safety job for now. It wasn't all great though, as DaQuan Jones didn't practice again, this time with a groin injury after having what was disclosed as a veteran rest day earlier in the week. Is that a cause for concern?Also, Buffalo put out it's first depth chart of the summer and while it should be absolutely taken with a grain of salt, the guys discuss a few interesting tidbits from it, including Keon Coleman being on the second string and Will Clapp currently having the nod as the backup center to Connor McGovern.They also hit on a few things they're looking forward to seeing from Buffalo in the preseason opener Saturday versus Chicago in addition to Brandon Aiyuk having no interest in New England, one of the best trades not just in Buffalo but sports history happening 32 years to the day of this recording and much more.You can follow PK on Twitter @PK_BSC and check out the Buffalo Sports Collective podcast.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel♦♦♦♦♦If you’re looking into setting up a golf practice/enjoyment station in your home, basement, garage or backyard — SimTurf is your golf oasis, featuring premium synthetic turf.

It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the weekly episode where the audience controls the narrative and topics. Patrick Moran is responding to several takes and questions, including what elements of Buffalo Bills training camp has been disappointing to him.There's just a few practices remaining open to the public for Bills training camp at St. John's Fisher and there's been plenty to be pleased about if you're a Bills fan. Patrick's spoke of many highlights on the show regularly but today he's asked to discuss a few things that've left him wanting more and he talks about the injuries at safety, seeing very little from Marquez Valdes-Scantling and a defensive lineman that's barely been noticeable.Patrick's also asked about and discusses why the defensive tackle position is flying a little bit under the radar after star tackle Ed Oliver. Von Miller looking far better than any point last year, Keon Coleman's basketball skills translating and possible contract extensions are also hit on in detail.He also responds about last weeks' show with Joe Marino, the Buffalo Sabres being slept on by Joe Yerdon, acknowledging the tribal chief and much more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran was at Buffalo Bills training camp Monday and has plenty of first-hand observations, with the focus being on a few of the underdog stories that are beginning to take shape.Among the things that most stood out to Patrick is the continued productive play of former undrafted tight end Zach Davidson, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL. He's looked fluid in camp and seems to be catching everything while making it look effortless. He talks about the chances he has of supplanting Quintin Morris on the roster and what the fallout for that could be.Sixth round rookie defensive back Daequan Hardy has also been impressive through parts of camp, including Monday. Patrick goes over what he saw from Hardy both good and bad, including a nice interception and funny anecdote along with it, but also him getting positively smoked by Keon Coleman during one on one reps.He also talks about Kaiir Elam getting first team reps before Christian Benford on Monday, Matt Milano continuing to ease back in, Mike Edwards still looking pretty ginger moving around according to Patrick, Andy Isabella and plenty of other nuggets from Bills camp.♦♦♦♦♦If you’re looking into setting up a golf practice/enjoyment station in your home, basement, garage or backyard — SimTurf is your golf oasis, featuring premium synthetic turf.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Patrick Moran is joined by sports reporter Ajay Cybulski of the Batavia Daily to discuss Buffalo Bills training camp and several storylines developing from it, including highlight plays from rookie Keon Coleman on a regular basis that have him demonstrating the ultra high ceiling he could have in the NFL.Coleman is having a memorable first training camp, producing a catch or two on a daily basis that many veteran receivers only dream of making. The guys discuss on while it's obvious Coleman will be a guy capable of making big plays to help the Bills, how great he ultimately becomes will boil down to a level of consistency. They also talk about how in hindsight it seems so wild that few draft pundits and fans gave Coleman much thought with Buffalo before the draft.Ajay also talks about Kaiir Elam seems to be making the most of his opportunities with a "clean slate" that head coach Sean McDermott is constantly referring to. While there's not expectation of Elam being a starter there's still plenty of upside in his game and if he becomes to the team what Dane Jackson was, his presence on the roster can be a positive one. They also talk about Zack Davidson making a push to earn a roster spot and a role that Alec Anderson seems headed for.Patrick also spends a little time talking with Ajay about the progression in Ajay's sports media journey, going from intern gigs to a sports reporter position at a community newspaper in addition to starting a "Right Here, Right Now" podcast alongside colleague Alex Brasky. That and plenty more today.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the weekly episode where the audience controls the narrative as Patrick Moran responds to several questions and takes from consumers of this show, with plenty of Buffalo Bills camp talk dominating this week.Mike Edwards going down with a hamstring injury has opened the door for Damar Hamlin or a rookie, Cole Bishop to begin the season as the team's starting free safety. Either would be a great story for different reasons. Patrick answers a few comments directed at both players and feels that with the team signing Kareem Jackson it probably puts to bed the chances of them adding Justin Simmons and/or bringing back Micah Hyde.Patrick also responds to submissions regarding Kahlil Shakir seeming ready to pop for the offense, Tyrell Shavers indicative of a receiving unit that's poor in depth and what Terry Pegula should or shouldn't be saying.There's also a few Buffalo Sabres takes on Jeff Skinner on UPL and Jeff Skinner included. That plus from Joe From Queens is a curmudgeon, Patrick "bends over" for hack Buffalo reporters and much more.If you want to have your question or comment featured on next week’s podcast, leave on Twitter, the Talking Buffalo YouTube channel or via email to [email protected]♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, the pads went on for the first time at Buffalo Bills training camp and Patrick Moran was there to accumulate several observations from Monday's practice, including defensive end Greg Rousseau having another dominant showing.There's been several accounts of Rousseau having a really strong start to camp and after seeing his first camp of the season in person, Patrick is completely on board. He discusses what he saw from Rousseau during practice, including dismantling right tackle Spencer Brown multiple times during both individual and team drills. Rousseau's going into his fourth season and is being counted on to elevate his game to a level that puts him up there among the league's better edge defenders. He's also got a lot potentially on the line when it comes to commanding a second contract.Also, after no injuries of significance through the first few days, that streak came to an end with news that likely starting free safety Mike Edwards is expected to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury. Patrick talks about how that probably makes it Damar Hamlin versus rookie Cole Bishop for the starting spot, or possibly opens the door for a Micah Hyde return if both sides are serious about it--or maybe even a big swing on free agent Justin Simmons.That plus other notable things Patrick's seeing, including pretty solid play from Kaiir Elam and Kingsley Jonathan, another potential hamstring injury (this time to Ty Johnson), a Cinderella story in the making at wide receiver with Tyrell Shavers and plenty more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by frenemy and recurring guest Joe From Queens and Joe reveals his 2024 Buffalo Bills Training Camp Bingo Board, a (mostly) satiric look at many of the things going on during Bills camp.There's not many people out there that despite the bells and whistles that come with Bills camp more than Joe and that's apparent as he goes through his board, taking subtle (sometimes more than subtle) shots and many topics and people (including Patrick) throughout. They include Josh Allen autograph content, outlets angry at national opinions of Allen, Terry Pegula's bucket hat, local media food and golf pics, general overreactions and Patrick pandering for camp tickets.They also spend some time talking a handful of more meaningful topics, including a Tim Graham story that caused a stir within the organization and led to Graham clarifying comments on Josh Allen. They also discuss Kim Pegula making a training camp appearance and photographs of it out there, including intimate photos and video from the Bills social media outlet themselves.That plus some development at camp through four practices and plenty more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, day two of training camp for the Buffalo Bills is in the books and Patrick Moran has several observations to hit on not just during practice, but interesting comments from offensive coordinator Joe Brady said before practice begun on Thursday.The Bills don't really have a "No. 1" receiver on this roster as things stand. That's not secret and if it wasn't already apparent, that's much to Brady's liking. During a Q&A with the media before practice Brady talked about pass catchers, including refusing to even identify certain positions on the wide receiver tree and referred to the group as saying "we don't have positions, we do everything conceptually." Perhaps even more telling was Brady's quote that could become a mantra for this Bills offense in 2024 ---everybody eats."Patrick also talks about Curtis Samuel having a big day on the practice field as he showed off his versatility, some interesting rotation notes among the offensive line, Mike Edwards in at starter at free safety, Cam Lewis getting dinged up and plenty more.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to discuss some observations from day one of Buffalo Bills training camp in addition to some fun facts and numbers about this year's team.After what felt like an offseason that'd never end, camp began on Wednesday in Rochester and immediately there were some fun storylines for the guys to dig into on today's show. Among them are Matt Milano returning as a full participant for the first time this entire offseason, Damar Hamlin instead of Mike Edwards getting the initial start at free safety, Keon Coleman seeing plenty of time with the first-team offense, Von Miller looking pretty sharp and a really good camp debut for second-year tight end Dalton Kincaid.They also talk about some numbers and "fun facts" about the Bills going into this season, including a stat that blew Patrick's mind----the Bills have tied a NFL record for the most consecutive regular season games (40) without a loss of more than six points. That plus the Bills are actually a much younger team than you may think, three guys share the distinction of being the longest-tenured Bills, the Buffalo Sabres make a significant contract signing and more.You can follow PK on Twitter @PK_BSC and check out the Buffalo Sports Collective podcast.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatrickMoranTBFacebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel♦♦♦♦♦If you’re looking into setting up a golf practice/enjoyment station in your home, basement, garage or backyard — SimTurf is your golf oasis, featuring premium synthetic turf.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by frenemy and recurring guest Joe From Queens for a full Buffalo Bills training camp preview as the team gets set to officially open training camp tomorrow.The "offseason" is finally over as Buffalo gets into things at camp and the guys go through the team positionally to take a thorough look at the roster, discussing both scenarios and raising several potential questions. Among those discussed is if we can expect to see a more vocal Josh Allen going forward, if Ray Davis has as legitimate chance to leapfrog Ty Johnson on the running back depth chart quickly, how the back end of the receiver depth chart may play out and if Dawson Knox can have a bounce back season.That's just the offense. Defensively the guys discuss if Von Miller will look like the Von of two seasons ago, Matt Milano's health being critical, Kaiir Elam having one last chance to avoid the "bust" label and a key battle shaping up between Taylor Rapp and Cole Bishop.They also talk about last weekend's Mafia Con, Josh Allen's place and perception among today's NFL quarterbacks as well as all-time and much more.
