Having the ability to swing deals this time around, the guys do move up once during the draft and are stuck with some difficult decisions, especially in round two when Patrick and Aaron disagree over who the pick should be. Ultimately it's a decision that's likely to rattle the cages of Bills fans and speculation should it happen during the actual NFL draft.Before the mock the guys spend some time discussing Doug Whaley, Stefon Diggs, Josh Allen and potential early draft positions people are expecting (cornerbacks) as well as maybe one most aren't, linebacker.You can follow Aaron on Twitter @AaronQuinn716 and be sure to check out the Cover 1 Buffalo Podcast♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

Will the board play out much differently this time?Before getting to their second mock the guys spend a little time examining if Ryan Bates' return to Buffalo eliminates the need to draft a guard early, why we shouldn't forget about Brandon Beane's attempt to sign running back J.D. McKissic and cornerback remaining the team's lone glaring hole on the roster going into the draft.You can follow Aaron on Twitter @AaronQuinn716 and be sure to check out the Cover 1 Buffalo Podcast♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 426Chad DeDominicis On Eichel's Return, Sabres & More

E

Chad DeDomincis subs in for Joe Yerdon on this Friday episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, joining Patrick Moran to talk about former Buffalo Sabres captain Jack Eichel’s return to Key Bank arena as a member of the opposition on Thursday night.One of the most talented and polarizing Sabres players in franchise history, this was a game many fans and surely Jack himself had circled on the calendar. If you’re a Sabres fan the game played out as good as one could ever hope----Eichel was held scoreless while both Peyton Krebs and Alex Tuch, two pieces Eichel was traded for both put pucks in the net in a 3-1 Sabres win that felt as electric inside the arena as it has in years. After the game Eichel was extremely petty in his comments. Chad has thoughts on that and plenty more stemming from this game and an organization that perhaps uses this big victory as a springboard going forward.The guys also discuss the Buffalo Bills as free agency draws near and much more.Follow Chad on Twitter @CMDeDominicis and be sure to check out Expected Buffalo, which offers incredible premium content for just $5.00 per month.Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Joe From Queens to discuss an incredibly frustrating Buffalo Bills loss to New England and look towards what can change going forward, if anything in Buffalo’s favor.As has often been the case this season, the Bills were the physically inferior team in another loss. The guys discuss and sometimes argue how much blame Josh Allen deserves for this loss, if there’s discontent between Sean McDermott and Brian Daboll, are the Bills wide receivers underperforming, can the offense get any better with their running game limitations and what needs to happen for the Bills to end up in the playoffs---something that’s no longer a certainty.They also have takes on sports journalist Jerry Sullivan’s line of questioning following the game that’s become a national sports talking point and much more.Follow Joe on Twitter @Buffalowins ♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

Joe discusses that as well as Tage Thompson’s continuing emergence, excitement around Owen Power and the return of Casey Mittelstadt.The guys also preview next Monday’s big clash between the Bills and New England Patriots with first place on the line and why Patrick thinks at least for this game, the Bills are in better shape going into Monday than they were going into New Orleans on Thanksgiving, even without Tre White.They also have a discussion about a few bars on Elmwood avenue, a five-round draft of Christmas song favorites and plenty more!Follow Joe on Twitter @JoeYerdon and make sure to subscribe to his Noted Hockey substack.♦♦♦♦♦Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.
