Talking Buffalo

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has his weekly thoughts and observations on the Buffalo Bills after watching the coaches All-22 film and analyzing the PFF grades of an ugly loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in prime time that dropped them to 5-4 on the season and raises legitimate questions about this is even a playoff team let alone a championship caliber squad.Film study along with the naked eye reveals to Patrick that among other things Sean McDermott's personnel in the secondary doesn't seem to match his aggressive defensive attack philosophy, Von Miller having no business being on the field for the game's most critical defensive play, every thing seeming to feel like a grind for the Bills offense---laboring for points and first downs that feel more effortless to other teams and a handful of PFF grades that feel a bit too generous.Patrick also talks about the puzzling inconsistent production of Gabe Davis, Deonte Harty feeling like a waste of money as things stand, big struggles for a Bills rookie and an admirable job by linebacker Tyrel Dodson.That and plenty more Bills notes, grades and thoughts from yet another disappointing offensive showing. ♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by longtime friend and recurring guest Tone Pucks for his weekly visit to discuss if the Buffalo Bills offensive problems are fixed as it nears the critical portion of their schedule.There were signs of encouragement in Buffalo's victory over Tampa this past Thursday night. Rookie Dalton Kincaid is becoming heavily involved in the passing game over the past few weeks while Khalil Shaklir is showing signs of emerging in his second year. Combine that with Gabe Davis bouncing back nicely from a one catch performance at New England with James Cook running the ball and of course the Josh Allen/Stefon Diggs combination---the Bills offense feels ready to start running on all cylinders.Does Tone Pucks buy it though? Absolutely not and plenty of bickering ensues. Tone doubles down on betting Cincinnati big and elaborates why.Also discussed is the Buffalo Sabres very impressive 4-0 shutout over one of the best teams in the NHL, Colorado. They have thoughts on Ukka-Pekka Luukkonen getting his first-ever NHL shutout and guys like Alex Tuch and Casey Mittlestadt turning around slow starts to the season.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has some heat of the moment, instant analysis immediately following the Buffalo Bills winning, barely, over Tampa, 24-18 in a game that felt like it should've never been that close.The offense came out hot and played well through three quarters before stalling out in the fourth, a role reversal of the past three weeks. Meanwhile the defense played very well almost entirely throughout, when a pair of horrible and much deserved fourth down penalties nearly ended in their downfall.Patrick goes over everything he liked---and didn't like about this game in the moments following the final whistle, setting up a few days of more measured reactions and analysis from upcoming guests.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s SubstackTwitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.
