Is Brandon Beane Aggressive As He Thinks He Is?

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics, including examining if Brandon Beane is as aggressive as he thinks he is when it comes to roster construction and the draft. During the NFL Combine this week, Beane when speaking to the media described himself as being aggressive, sometimes even needing coworkers on the Bills staff to reel him back a little bit. Is that actually true? Is Beane really that aggressive? The guys dig into that and other than three instances since 2018 don't really agree with the Bills general manager. Also, a recurring theme emerging this offseason (again) seems to be Beane and new Bills head coach Joe Brady jumping in to talk about how much Josh Allen's contract effects the Bills. While that is indisputably true, there's plenty of other Beane roster decisions with bad contracts and/or dead cap hits that could wreck havoc on their chances to get some of the things done they're hoping for. The guys also wonder (sort of) if the Bills could take a look at Stefon Diggs if he ends up released by the New England Patriots. That plus the Buffalo Sabres are going scorched earth right now and more. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

Should The Bills Re-Sign Brandin Cooks? (Plus Four Bills Trade Candidates)

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran examines if the Buffalo Bills should attempt to re-sign pending free agent wide receiver Brandin Cooks and explains why that answer is no, regardless of how cheap he'd be and what his role on paper would be. There's definitely reasons we can see a Cooks reunion with the club in 2026 and Patrick admits the reasons to feel like it works are more than why it wouldn't. From the inexpensive cap hit to his track record, skill set in particular his ability to get open plenty for Buffalo last year and to having a "lesser than" role in the wide receiver room going forward, there's plenty of justification on bringing him back. But Patrick lands on no and it's for one reason but a big one----you simply can't trust him. Cooks had major issues during his short time with Buffalo holding onto the football and completing catches, a major reason he had just 10 completions in 22 targets with the Bills. While you can say he'd be a bottom of the depth chart player and that seems harmless, the reality is when you're on the depth chart you're going to see the field, especially at wide receiver. When Cooks runs routes he tends to get open which means he'll get the football and that's where the problem lies--Patrick simply thinks you can't trust him to make the big play that could determine the outcome of a game or as we saw in the playoffs, literally the season. For that reason alone Patrick thinks it's a bad idea to bring him back. Also, the Jets and Titans made a straight player for player trade on Thursday that got Patrick thinking of four current Bills players he could see as candidates for something similar happening. That and much more. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

Five Potential Bills Diamonds In The Rough

E

On today's Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation to discuss among other topics five Buffalo Bills players who could become diamonds in the rough for the organization. For various reasons Dorian Williams, Jordan Hancock, Alec Anderson, Seth Van Pran Granger and Jackson Hawes could all have an opportunity to go from supporting type players to contributing far more than they did this past season. The guys discuss what the situation looks like for each player and why this group could be primed to take a significant step in their careers during the 2026 season. From there they get into discussing what's been discussed the most the past few offseasons and surely headed that way again---wide receiver. Patrick runs down eight potential wide receiver fits for the Bills that could come via free agency or trade and tasks Matt with ranking his interest on each from a scale of 1-10 while factoring in fit, salary and potential trade comp. Names on the list they go through include Mike Evans, Rashid Shaheed, Jauan Jennings, DJ Moore, AJ Brown, Brian Thomas Jr, Jaylen Waddle and Michael Pittman Jr. That plus it's NFL Combine week, free agency will be here before you know it and much more.

Sabres Ready For Drought Ending Push

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Chris Ostrander to discuss several Buffalo Sabres and Bills topics, including the Sabres being ready for a push to end their historic NHL playoff drought. The Sabres haven't made the NHL playoffs in 14 years. They're desperately trying to make that not reach 15 years. Buffalo returns to action on Wednesday night in New Jersey following the Olympic break and they do so with a five point advantage in the Eastern conference wild card race, with just two points between them and Montreal and Detroit in the Atlantic division. Nothing's been accomplished yet but opportunity definitely knocks. The guys discuss the Sabres performance through this point of the season and the dramatic turnaround that has rightfully has fans finally excited about this team again. They also discuss the lift that Josh Norris will give them being back in the lineup and hopefully Zach Benson not far behind. Also, is it a lock that Alex Tuch stays in Buffalo beyond the trade deadline March 6 with or without an extension? What move(s) should Buffalo make themselves before the deadline? On the football side it's NFL Combine week and the guys discuss it being a pretty big mystery on how the Bills may attack the offseason, while knowing that the defense is going to undergo quite the overhaul. That and plenty more with Chris Ostrander! Be sure to follow Chris on X at @2ITB_Buffalo and check out the Two in the Box blog in addition to the Instigator Podcast.

Buffalo Bills Full Offseason Predictions

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens and together they go over a long list of predictions for the Buffalo Bills offseason among other topics discussed. Last week the Bills re-signed offensive lineman Alec Anderson but outside of that, offseason personnel moves haven't really started yet. That's expected to change literally any day now, so Patrick and Joe go over a lengthy list of things they predict will happen, including each going over their boldest Bills offseason prediction. Patrick also asked fans to chime in with their biggest predictions and reads some of them throughout the episode. The guys also go over whether they think the Bills will make any trades, how many guys they re-sign, if former Carolina Panthers are headed Buffalo's way, who will get cut and what position will the Bills be spending the most money on.

Full Buffalo Bills Mock Offseason (With A Big Philosophical Change)

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over his entire Buffalo Bills mock offseason, ranging from cuts to restructures, an extension, re-signing free agents, adding free agents and the draft. It all results in the Bills going back to an older philosophy on offense and adding plenty of Denver flavor on defense. In this mock Patrick explains while not happy about it, goodbyes need to happen to David Edwards and Dawson Knox. In terms of the receiving room Patrick thinks it's time for the bigger possession type of receivers need to end and bring back to the Stefon Diggs, John Brown, Cole Beasley type of pass catchers Josh Allen has historically worked best. Of course that means change and Patrick uses a significant free agent resource on receiver in addition to his first pick in the draft. On the defensive side of the ball, no "huge names" are added but with Jim Leonhard taking over the defense, Patrick finds not one, not two but three Denver Broncos free agents into the fold in addition to another defensive heavy draft. It's necessary because there's a huge personnel turnover on this side of the ball. Also, Patrick explains in detail some of his decisions, especially when it comes to wide receiver---a position most would like to see the Bills go for broke on via trade. Why that's not happening in Patrick's mock plus a cool site for all these things including mock drafts and tons more. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

An Episode Devoted To Potential Bills WRs

E

Today on Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation and they're devoting the entire episode to talking wide receiver as it pertains to the Buffalo Bills, both their current crop and a whole bunch of potential fits available via free agency, trades and the draft.The Bills wide receiver outside of Khalil Shakir stinks. That's not particularly a nice thing to say nor is fun to think about, but those are the facts. Curtis Samuel could get cut by the time you read this and the rest of the room is filled with guys they're either stuck with and/or uncertain about. Needless to say, there's going to multiple new players in that room in 20206.The guys discuss several of them, starting with free agents such as Alec Pierce, Rasheed Shaheed, Mike Evans, Jauan Jennings, Romeo Doubs and Deebo Samuel (yes I know, ugh). Perhaps acquiring one via trade is the correct path despite the additional compensatory cost. Guys such as AJ Brown, Brian Thomas Jr, Chris Olave, Michael Wilson and DJ Moore are all discussed.Of course, the draft is often the best place to go picking because of cost and team controlled contracts. They discuss a solid handful of the top receiver draft prospects. That plus Tyreek Hill is not a free agent, other receivers may get cut and become available soon enough and much more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Buckle Up For A Wild Bills & Sabres Ride

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by broadcaster Steve Bermel to discuss the wild ride we should be prepared for with both the Buffalo Bills and Sabres over the next several weeks.Winds of change are definitely coming for the Bills, fresh off the firing of Sean McDermott and subsequent promotion of Joe Brady, with Brandon Beane clearly feeling the heat to orchestrate a roster capable of getting over the playoff wall owner Terry Pegula recently spoke of. For starters the Bills have 20 pending unrestricted free agents with many of them on the defensive side of the ball. The guys go over each player and discuss whether there should/will be an interest in bringing them back, as it quickly becomes apparent there's going to be a pretty significant roster overhaul coming our way.They also discuss the level of aggressiveness Beane needs to have this offseason, unless of course it's going to turn into another Terry Pegula and Kevyn Adams situation where perhaps the GM seat isn't nearly as hot as most of us think it should be.Turning over the to the Sabres side, the guys discuss Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin on a collision course to face each other in the knockout round at the Olympics, with Patrick openly admitting he cares about them staying healthy a lot more than what nation wins Olympic gold. That's because the Sabres return on February 25th with 25 games to go and a five point lead in the Eastern conference wild card race. The guys talk about their daunting schedule upon their return, what moves the Sabres may make before the March 6 trade deadline, are they prepared to let Alex Tuch simply become a rental type of player and much more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Ranking Buffalo Bills All-Time Biggest Heartbreaks

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several topics, including going over the biggest all-time Buffalo Bills heartbreaks and where this latest dramatic playoff exit ranks among them.This weekend was Valentine's Day so naturally Joe, an unapologetic (or simply in denial) cynic was inspired by the holiday and recent Bills loss to remember the biggest heartbreak the franchise has ever had. They discuss some of the best known debacles like wide right, 13 seconds, music city miracle, this year's Brandin Cooks' no catch and Jim Kelly's sad ending to a Hall of Fame career. But Joe has others in the tank that may make you grimace in pain.Also, significant sports media news in the Buffalo market dropped this past week as Tim Graham and Brad Riter were announced to at least temporarily hold the 1-3pm slot on WGR 550. The guys got plenty of opinions on that and if they think it will eventually turn into a regular thing.The Bills added 71-year old John Fox to the coaching staff as a senior assistant to Joe Brady. Predictably the guys have differing opinions on it. That and tons more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

What Went Most Right & Wrong For 2025 Bills (Featuring Thad Brown)

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by WROC-TV sports director and Buffalo Bills reporter Thad Brown to discuss four things that went extremely well for the Buffalo Bills in 2025 and four others that went equally wrong among other Bills topics.Thad has been on TV working in WROC in Rochester for over 25 more years, most of it in sports and of course covering the Bills. It's Thad's first time back on this podcast since 2019 and Patrick asks him a few Bill and sports media questions to get the conversation going before they dive into Bills talk.First they start with four things that definitely went very well for Buffalo over this past season, including James Cook taking a leap from pretty damn good running to back to NFL's leading rusher, an influx of strong contributions from "old" guys on the defense they probably weren't counting on for much, Cole Bishop's big leap in year two and a ton of flashed potential from rookie defensive tackle Deone Walker.Of course, turnabout is fair play and they also discuss four things that went terribly wrong for Buffalo this season. That includes them being a turnover machine compared to 2024, a wide receiver room that was mostly a disaster, big ticket defensive lineman no showing the playoffs and now former head coach Sean McDermott pushing the wrong buttons again at crucial points of a playoff elimination game.Patrick also asks Thad for his thoughts on the Joe Brady hire, the coaches that have come with him so far, what he expects to see this offseason and plenty more.

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation's Matt Warren to formally put a bow on the Buffalo Bills 2025 season---awards show style as they highlight the best and worst of the season both individually and from the team.Patrick tasks Matt with coming up for a season-ending award for a bunch of categories and they include: Team MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Best Rookie, Most Disappointing Rookie, Best Offseason Move, Worst Offseason Move, Most Pleasant Surprise, Most Disappointing, Best Game, Worst Game, Best Play and Worst Play are all handed out. Some of them require deep thought and discussion while others were cut and dry. The guys also try to name at least one honorable mention for each awards as well.Also, what did Matt think of the Super Bowl and did New England getting thoroughly beaten soften the blow of the Bills falling short yet again in the playoffs? Does he think New England was simply outclassed on that particular day and does he see them as a team that should be a big Super Bowl favorite next year or did they just have (a ton of) lady luck on their side in 2025?That plus the Bills are once again among the top early offseason Super Bowl favorites for next year and tons more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Revisting Our 2025 Buffalo Bills Season Predictions

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to, among other things and go back to their 2025 Buffalo Bills predictions before the season started to see how they did.Having season previews and prediction episodes before a season starts is always fun. Going back to revisit them to see how accurate you were is even more fun and keeps people accountable for bad predictions instead of just lauding the accurate ones. Among others, who took the under for Josh Allen having at least 30 touchdown passes this season between Patrick and Joe? Did one or both of them predict at least 50 receptions from Keon Coleman? Which one actually predicted Khalil Shakir for their biggest offensive disappointment of the season?Switching to the defense, which guy nailed Cole Bishop for leading the team in interceptions? Which one hit on Matt Milano playing in more than 11 game this season? Also, shockingly only one of the guys predicted that former Buffalo Bill would rejoin the club after the season started.Also, the guys reflect on the NFL 2025 season and how the Bills may approach this offseason.

Has Opinion Shifted On The Bills Big Moves?

E

On Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for a recording immediately after the Super Bowl to offer a few thoughts on the game before diving into examining if their opinions have shifted on the big Buffalo Bills moves that've been made since the end of the season.It's Joe's first time back on the show in three weeks and whole lot has went down with the Bills since they've last spoke on the air. That includes Sean McDermott being fired, Brandon Beane being both retained and promoted, the wild Beane/Terry Pegula press conference, a head coaching search that culminated in the promotion of Joe Brady to head coach and a bunch of new coaches to the staff. Joe shares his thoughts on many of these things while Patrick puts thoughts into if he thinks that public opinion has changed on these moves from the time they happened until now.Also, significant news in the Buffalo sports media world came down late last week when the Bills (and Sabres) announced their relationship with WGR-550 as the teams flagship station is coming to an end. Joe has plenty to say about that. That plus the Sabres find themselves in a great spot at the Olympic break with these last 27 games to bring plenty of excitement and anxiety plus much more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Why Brandin Cooks Proved The Brady Naysayers Wrong

E

On this Saturday episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran hosts a Podbag episode chockfull of listener submitted questions and takes centering around the Buffalo Bills, including discussing why 32-year old journeyman wide receiver proved the Joe Brady naysayers wrong.One of the biggest sentiments and criticisms around Brady as an offensive coordinator has been his inability to have receivers play a consistently prominent role in in the passing game, especially on deeps plays down the field. Patrick elaborates why the late season addition of Cooks proved that theory wrong, as Cooks was schemed (wide) open down the field plenty, he simply rarely made the play, including of course the Denver overtime nightmare. It has Patrick finally on the "wide receiver" train that others have been on for quite some time.Also, who are a few of the guys the Bills could target this offseason? AJ Brown is widely speculated and Patrick's been talking about Brian Thomas Jr for several months, but how about Tyreek Hill? Someone in the Podbag even brings up Tee Higgins.One thing that seems certain, at least to Patrick is that Keon Coleman is never going to be that guy, so he explains why he'd trade him now. That plus Joey Bosa is likely done in Buffalo, a pessimist Bills fan chimes in and a Sabres fan (think he's a fan?) warns to not get carried away with the team until they win a playoff game.Happy weekend!Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Takeaways From An Impressive Jim Leonhard Bills Press Conference

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran shares some of his biggest takeaways after new Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard met with the media on Thursday, including coming up with a boxing comparison that fits the difference Leonhard and former Bills head coach and defensive play caller, Sean McDermott.Leonhard help court with the media for an extended period on Thursday and definitely had a few sound bytes as some of his core principles were being discussed, including being aggressive but also being aggressive without it becoming reckless. Leonhard also went on about he's been his best coaching guys who don't fit into a specific box or role and can be versatile on his defense.Patrick came away from the scrum extremely impressed and shares why, including the contrasting styles between Leonhard and McDermott that led to a Floyd Mayweather versus Thomas Hearns boxing analogy.He also discusses a few of the players currently on the Bills defense he's excited to see under the watchful eye of Leonhard and a few others that could find themselves on the outside looking in rather quickly. That plus a handful of free agents that could work great in Buffalo and much more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

Bills Final Season Positional Analysis & Grades

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation to go over the Buffalo Bills 2025 season positionally, followed by Matt's final season-long grades for all areas of the team in an episode recording earlier in the week just before the Joe Brady hire.All season long the guys have gotten together to discuss the Bills previous game position by position with Matt assigning a grade for each. Obviously there's no more games to break down in that style so this is being turned into a season long evaluation of each position---the good, bad and ugly.Some positions certainly turned out to be pleasant surprises. For example who suspected the tight end room would be one of the biggest strengths on the team even with Dalton Kincaid missing time? Or how about Tre White holding down the cornerback spot alongside Christian Benford all season not just admirably (not admiral) but straight up excellent?It wasn't all good though. The defensive line's play was marred by two key injuries, other nagging injuries and a lot of inconsistent play outside of Greg Rousseau. Of course, perhaps the most intriguing position to discuss is quarterback. By almost any other QB's standard Allen had a stellar season, but coming off his MVP campaign of a year ago, will Matt grade him with a curve? All that and tons more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

Five Huge Questions Brandon Beane Must Answer

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over five of the biggest questions that Buffalo Bills general manager (and President of Operations) Brandon Beane is going to have answer soon as he starts to construct the roster for 2026 under recently promoted first-time head coach Joe Brady.The Bills have been a perennial contender in the AFC since 2019, reaching two conference championship games during that span. But continuing to hit the "proverbial playoff wall" that owner Terry Pegula discussed led to the firing of longtime head coach Sean McDermott and while it hasn't been publicly stated, puts enormous pressure on Beane to make moves this offseason that's going to help them get over the hump because with McDermott gone, failure will (rightfully) fall squarely on Beane going forward.To that point Patrick comes up with five questions that Beane's surely asking himself right now and getting ready to make tough decisions on. Among them is if there's truly a place on the 2026 roster for Keon Coleman that is anything but a negative, who among the offensive line depth is ready to step up and become starters with the probability that at least one if not two incumbent starters will leave for free agency, does Brady lean on Beane to pull of a trade for an alpha WR No. 1 and did Dawson Knox play himself into another year with the club?Switching over to the defense, the Bills have a slew of pending free agents. Between the defense's struggles in Denver, a bunch of guys aging and a new defensive coordinator surely looking to come and change things up, how many of these Bills veterans will be back this season? That and plenty more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

What A Jim Leonhard Bills Defense May Look Like

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Cover 1's Anthony Prohaska to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics, including new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhart and what his defense may look like for the Bills.Joe Brady was promoted to head coach following a search on the heels of Sean McDermott's firing, but that hardly means it's simply status quo for the Buffalo Bills. Most of Brady's coaching staff will be new to the team and that includes Leonhart, who was highly coveted and also drew strong interest from Baltimore and the Los Angeles Chargers. Anthony shares his opinions of the Bills decision to move on from McDermott, land on Brady and then add Leonhard to run their defense.Anthony explains the primary difference in concepts and philosophy between McDermott and Leonhard and how they're significant.They also take a peak at the Bills current defensive roster and which players feel like they could be great fits for what Leonhard does and a few that may have their work cut out from them. Anthony also takes a look at a few cut candidates on the Bills defense, a slew of pending free agents and which ones Anthony thinks should be brought back, a couple of free agents that could be Bills targets in March, perhaps a trade candidate and much more.Be sure to follow Anthony on Twitter @Pro_Ant and of course, follow Cover 1 on YouTubefor daily content no Bills fan should go without.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Joe Brady Presser Reaction: Color Me Impressed

E

On today's Talking Buffalo, new Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady's introductory press conference took place on Thursday and Patrick Moran has a boatload of reactions, including why he came away from it surprisingly (very) impressed.It was a big moment for the direction and future of the franchise with the appointment/promotion of Brady and the press conference had a big moment feel. Brady didn't try to hide it either as he was overcome with emotion during his speech almost instantly, having trouble at times getting out words before he settled into the Q&A portion of the presser, asking a bunch of questions alongside general manager Brandon Beane from the media.Patrick goes over some of the more memorable highlights and quotes from the presser before getting into a handful of things he liked most and a few items he certainly could have done without.From there it's the biggest takeaways and Patrick lays out several reasons why he came away not only more impressed with the press conference itself, but feeling better as a whole about the Brady hire compared to when it was announced earlier this week. That plus a very (very) significant hire still to come for the Bills and much more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo Sabres and NHL writer Joe Yerdon to discuss the absolutely scorching hot Buffalo Sabres in addition to a little Buffalo Bills talk as well, recorded live from Sonny Red's in Lackawanna.The Sabres went on the road in Toronto on Tuesday night and smacked the Maple Leafs, 7-4 to win for the 19th time in their last 22 games. If Buffalo hasn't been playing well enough up front, defensemen Rasmus Dahlin netted a hat trick while the incredible transformation of Mattias Samuelsson continued with his racking up three assists. Joe was in Toronto with the team for the game and discusses what the vibe was like the in the arena and in the Buffalo locker room after that.A team that looked absolutely locked into a 15th straight year of the postseason drought finds themselves with an incredible opportunity to finally end it. Joe gets into several of the things he's seen and we've all seen that have made this possible---including a night and day transformation since Keyvn Adams got fired.They also spend some time talking Bills and Joe, a noted "Bills watcher" and not fan has some observations on the Bills decision to fire Sean McDermott and ultimately promote Joe Brady to head coach.

Bills Promote Brady To Wildly Unpopular Reaction

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has plenty of instant reaction after the Buffalo Bills promote offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach following interviews with several candidates, leaving some people puzzled and clearly most fans annoyed.Some thought the Bills may take their time with this hire considering it was regarded as the most attractive job available, perhaps even waiting to speak to Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak after the Super Bowl. But whether it was fear of losing Brady to him taking another job or him really being their guy all along, he's the 21st head coach now in franchise history.One thing's for certain----fans don't like the move. Joe Buscaglia from The Athletic put up a poll and nearly three quarters of all fans who voted, well over 13,000 in the first hour said they didn't like the move. Patrick shares a few other hilarious (or maybe not funny to some) social media reactions from content creators and fans.Patrick has plenty of thoughts on the move while prefacing that he's remaining someone guarded with "hot takes" for the moment after the Sean McDermott rage last week. He explains that while doesn't like the move personally he understands it doesn't come without merit. That and plenty more as we get ready for a few lives shows to round out the week--so lots to come! Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Bills Coach Search Nearing End & Red Hot Sabres (Featuring Lance Lysowski)

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo Bills beat reporter Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News to discuss Lance's first year on an eventful Bills beat and how he's seeing the Bills head coaching search play out down the stretch with what appears to be the final four candidates.After coming to Buffalo in 2018 to cover the Sabres, Lance made the pivot this summer over to the Bills beat. He spends some time talking about the adjustments, of which there were many and getting acclimated to covering a different professional sport, something he's actually done prior to coming to Buffalo.He also sheds insight on the media room and reaction from both the Sean McDermott surprise (to most anyway) firing and subsequent press conference last week that was the talk of the league.They also discuss a column Lance wrote for The Buffalo News on Monday that the Bills would be wise to wait another two weeks to interview Klint Kubiak for their head coaching job. That said, according to Adam Schefter it appears the Bills are down to their final four candidates and a new coach could be hired within a few days. Lance discusses those candidates to and where he thinks this ultimately headed.That plus they drip their toes into some Sabres talk as they have become the talk of the league, this time for good reason.

Biggest Reasons It Was Time For McDermott To Go (Featuring Tyler Dunne)

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by special guest Tyler Dunne of Go Long to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics, including some of the biggest reasons why this was the right time for the organization to move on from now former head coach Sean McDermott.It's been a mess at One Bills Drive since Monday morning when the Bills fired Sean McDermott. From the icy statement towards McDermott with the inexcusable "admiral" typo to radio silence from the team and social media for well over 24 hours before giving McDermott the respect and proper sendoff he deserved. Of course that was nothing compared to the bizzaro press conference on Wednesday with Terry Pegula and Brandon Beane that left many locals shaking their heads and the national media bashing the organization. However, while the messaging sent out by the team this week was amateurish if not bush league, the move itself was perfectly justifiable if not already overdue. There's a very reasonable case that McDermott deserved the fate he got.One of the best long form and feature story sports writers in the business, Tyler has been on the Bills peaks and valleys with McDermott regularly for the past several years. A polarizing figure among BillsMafia because of several Bills articles, one 2023 series specifically on McDermott, Tyler rightfully stands by everything he's written and while a lot of fans and especially a lot of the ardent McDermott supports don't like it, it's hard to argue that a lot of what Dunne's been saying and has said isn't right.Tyler goes over a handful of reasons that despite this week's blunders in message handling, that it was the right time to move into a new direction and that the move shouldn't really be as shocking as many have made it out to be. They talk about what McDermott did right and wrong, Brandon Beane's promotion, Keon Coleman catching strays, Tyler's latest state of the Bills piece that just dropped on Go Long and tons more.

Reacting To A WILD Pegula & Beane Bills Presser (Featuring Tim Graham)

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Tim Graham from The Athletic to react to an absolutely wild press conference featuring Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula and general manager Brandon Beane that's drawing strong reaction locally and around the league.A season-ending press conference featuring Beane would be anticipated in any season. The fact former head coach Sean McDermott was fired on Monday definitely heightened it, and Pegula speaking and taking questions for the first time in years instantly made it must see. What we saw felt like a blend of honestly, contradicting statements and a few shocking moments. Tim was at the presser covering it for The Athletic and Patrick grills him for with a ton of questions on several statements said.Pegula says his decision to fire McDermott was based on Saturday's loss in Denver and the reaction in the locker room, but soon after accused the officials of making a "bad call" that cost them the game. Beane also took offense, great offense to questions about making a powerplay to keep his job and about his character----a charged response.Perhaps the most shocking part of the presser was Beane, when asked discussing some of the challenges with draft picks that haven't worked out when Pegula interrupted to publicly say that the Keon Coleman pick was not Brandon Beane's choice but Beane was being a "team player." Tim has a reaction on all this plus reaction he's heard around the league and tons more.Make sure to follow Tim on Twitter @ByTimGrahamand check out his absolutely elite work at The Athletic.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Bills Positional Analysis & Tons Of McBeane Fallout

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation's Matt Warren to go over positional analysis from the Buffalo Bills heartbreaking playoff loss in Denver last weekend in addition to discussing some of the fallout already pouring in from Sean McDermott being fired while Brandon Beane retained his job and got a promotion as well.The craziness around the McDermott firing and Beane staying almost makes you forget about the game in Denver Saturday that possibly led to it. Not the case for Patrick and Matt though. As they've done every week throughout the season and finish up with today, they go through the Bills positionally, talk about what went right and wrong for the game before Matt ultimately assigns his grade for each.From there it's all about the news of McBeane divorcing and the immediate fallout. The guys have plenty of their own thoughts on why things went the way they did and if they agree with it. They also go over some of the articles, stories and rumors about what led to where we're at today.That plus who Matt would like to see be the next Bills head coach, a little talk of what's to come soon and plenty more.Make sure to follow/subscribe to The Bruce Exclusive and give Bruce a follow on Twitter @BruceExclusive.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Thoughts On Shocking Sean McDermott Firing

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by popular podcaster Bruce Nolan to go over several thoughts on the heels of the shocking firing of now former Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott on Monday.The prevailing sentiment following the Bills latest disappointing exit from the playoffs was that both McDermott and Brandon Beane would likely be safe, with Beane probably the more likely to get fired if owner Terry Pegula pulled the trigger on the move. However, turns out it was McDermott getting fired with Beane not only keeping his job, but getting a promotion along the way. Patrick and Bruce have a ton of thoughts on this franchise altering development.Patrick also expresses disbelief and annoyance at how poorly the Bills seem to have read the room with this McDermott firing/Beane promotion move----from the reaction of (most) fans defending McDermott, the outpouring of public shock and unhappiness of several players to the official press release that literally had a notable typo in the beginning and felt pretty chilly towards McDermott, saying he did an "admiral" job.Bruce has thoughts on Beane's track record, what he expects him to say at the next imminent press conference, how the offseason could go and tons more.Make sure to follow/subscribe to The Bruce Exclusive and give Bruce a follow on Twitter @BruceExclusive.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Heartbreaking Bills Loss Serves Up Indictments

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss the Buffalo Bills heartbreaking overtime playoff loss in Denver, with the defeat serving up some indictments on the organization that may (or may not) lead to changes.The Bills fell on the wrong side of history in depressing fashion, becoming the first team in NFL history to be eliminated from the playoffs three consecutive seasons by three points or less. This time a lot of the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Josh Allen, who uncharacteristically played awful. Allen turned the ball over four times and three of them were his fault. He also missed some very makable throws, including a ball to Dawson Knox on the Bills last offensive snap of regulation that would've won the game. The guys discuss how disappointing it is for someone as talented and valuable as Josh to play so poorly.Officiating was clearly at the forefront of this one too. The guys discuss whether they think Brandin Cooks should've been ruled as having caught the ball and a few other terrible calls that went against the Bills.They also discuss several other factors that Patrick feel serves as indictments against both Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane. Will it lead to any changes?Also, how much does this loss and playoff exit hurt more than the others? That plus the Patriots going to the AFC title game makes this all feel sicker, what could the offseason look like and much more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Bills vs Broncos Preview, Four Bills Keys & Five Bold Predictions

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of Saturday's AFC Divisional round clash as the Buffalo Bills take on the Denver Broncos, including a discussion on the state of both teams, four keys to a Bills victory, five "bold predictions" for the game and a stab at predicting the final score.After knocking off Jacksonville last weekend, the Bills take to the road again trying to advance to the conference championship. To do that they'll have overcome many things, none so more than injuries that'll keep a few important players out and others are far less than 100%. Denver is fresh off a bye earned by being the top seed and there's several things Bills fans should be worried about with them. However, there's also areas of the team that can be exploited, as Patrick gives his lowdown on each team.From there it's Patrick's four biggest keys to the Bills finding a way to come out on top, none so more important, as usual than not losing the turnover battle. After last week the Bills remained undefeated when not losing the turnover battle. Also, having early down success and weathering the storm will be huge keys.Five bold predictions is always fun, at least it is when the Bills win and Patrick is right. Among his today is a successful return for Curtis Samuel, who's been a huge bust this season. Also, can Taron Johnson make us forget about a forgettable season with one big fourth quarter play? Patrick seems to think so.Of course, it all ends with a prediction for the game and we'll save the suspense here---Patrick's picking the Bills and tells everyone the biggest reasons why. I feel like you can probably guess the biggest one.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

Bills vs Broncos From A Denver Perspective (Featuring Benjamin Allbright)

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by NFL insider and Denver host/reporter Benjamin Allbright to discuss this Saturday's Buffalo Bills vs Denver Broncos Divisional Round showdown more from a Denver perspective.Allbright is one of the most respected football insider and analysts in the industry and has been kind enough to appear on Talking Buffalo periodically dating all the back to 2018. In fact, Allbright predicted the Bills would trade up for Josh Allen on this show just weeks before the 2018 draft. Patrick takes advantage of that moment to ask Allbright, based out of Denver what it would be like for the Broncos had they drafted Allen fifth overall instead of Bradley Chubb.But this is all about Saturday's playoff matchup and Patrick grills Benjamin to learn as much as possible about the Broncos from someone who directly covers the team. What makes the Broncos the top seeded team that earned a first-round bye? What about this team is exceptional? What could potentially be exposed by the Bills? Speaking of, how are people in Denver actually feeling from their end about facing Josh Allen and a very banged up Buffalo team? That plus Patrick asks Benjamin if he's sticking to Ben's preseason guns of the Bills going to the Super Bowl or not? Follow Benjamin Allbright on Twitter @AllbrightNFL.Patrick also spends time before and after talking about the state of a beat up Bills team that is getting ready to try and go out and get their second straight road playoff win.

Bills Positional Analysis & Adversity To Overcome In Denver

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly chat, focused around a discussion of the Bills positionally and their performance in Jacksonville as well as a handful of things that definitely have Buffalo facing some adversity going into Denver for the Divisional round this Saturday.Linebacker, cornerback and tight end (as almost always) stood out in a good way for Buffalo in their three point win over Jacksonville as Matt breaks down the team position by position.While prefacing that saying the Bills have no excuses and a very fair chance to go to Denver and knock off the top seeded Broncos on Saturday, there's definitely some factors working against them. Patrick and Matt hit on a handful of them, ranging from short rest to a ridiculous difference between when practice squad elevations are due and the roster being set because the Bills are playing at 4:30pm Saturday instead of 8:00pm. That plus a boatload of injuries that could end up coming to the wire.Also, do the guys think the Bills have much fuel left in the tank after a grueling win in Jacksonville? That plus what are the chances Ed Oliver and Curtis Samuel both return this weekend and much more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo Bills beat reporter Jay Skurski from The Buffalo News to go over several of their biggest takeaways from the Bills exciting (and stressful) wild card road victory in Jacksonville on Sunday before quickly turning their attention to Denver.Of course, Josh Allen is the primary reason the Bills are living to fight for another week and Jay has plenty of first hand accounts of what he seen from covering the game in Denver. However, while Josh did the heavy lifting on the offensive side, plenty of "aging" veterans saved the day defensively to keep the Bills in the game while the offense was floundering a little. Jay has thoughts on guys like Shaq Thompson, Tre White and Matt Milano rising up when the unit absolutely needed it most.They spend some time discussing what is looking like a complex injury report for this week heading into the Denver game, and Jay has thoughts on who he think may and may not be good to go by Saturday. Speaking of, Denver is the No. 1 seed and coming off a bye week. How much will that be advantage, what are some things to worry most about with Denver and what's a few areas that can be exposed?Plus, Jay spent personal time with Bills head coach Sean McDermott on the eve of the final game ever at Highmark Stadium a few weeks ago.

Josh Carries Bills Over Jags To Advance

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss yet another outstanding playoff performance from Josh Allen as he and a few big plays on defense carried the Buffalo Bills to a 27-24 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC wild card round to advance in the playoffs, Buffalo's first playoff road win since 1992.Things weren't always easy for Allen and the Bills offense, including physically with Josh taking a beating. It wasn't made easier by James Cook being held to 46 yards on the ground by the league's best run defense. But when the Bills absolutely had to have it, Allen was pretty much flawless in leading the Bills to touchdowns on their last two possessions. The guys discuss a gutsy performance from the reigning MVP, who fair or not has all the pressure of the world on his shoulders to carry this team over the hump. Can the Bills winning like this be sustainable for the next two or three games?Defensively the Bills started out great, fell apart for a while but again, when they absolutely had to have it, Tre White made a great play to deflect a pass that Cole Bishop intercepted to seal the game. The guys discuss their effort both good and bad, led by an incredible afternoon from White.They also discuss some unsung heroes from the game, including Khalil Shakir and Matt Prater. That plus the Bills will have to overcome even more injuries, find a way to be better stopping the run and get their own run game going next week if they want a crack at the AFC championship the following week.

Bills vs Jags Playoff Preview & Five Bold Predictions

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of the Buffalo Bills vs Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday AFC wild card round showdown, including the latest on both teams, three keys to a Bills win, five bold predictions for the game and ultimately taking a stab at predicting who's going to win and what the final score will be.Truth be told, this doesn't feel like an ideal situation for either team in the first round of the playoffs. The Bills absolutely cant win in Jacksonville, yet Patrick (and surely most Bills fans and media) aren't brimming with confidence about the matchup either. Conversely, the exact same can be said for the Jacksonville faithful. Sure, winning the AFC South and getting the home field advantage for at least one game is great---but honestly does anyone who roots for Jacksonville really think this is the matchup they preferred, especially so early?But it is what it is and this should be a very good game. Patrick lays out what he thinks are three of the biggest keys to the Bills advancing to the next round, including referencing a pair of stats that support them being almost unbeatable when they happen.He also has his weekly five bold predictions for the game, including Parker Washington giving the Bills defense all they can want and more in the passing game as well as Matt Milano coming up big for the Buffalo defense. Lastly, a prediction for the game and Patrick admits he's spent most the week truly not knowing who he thinks is going to win the game before waking up Thursday morning with a little clarity on why Buffalo will come out on top, at least he thinks so.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined in studio by Tone Pucks for the first time in over a year to discuss the Buffalo Bills through this point and more specifically, potential fallout should they lose on Sunday to Jacksonville in the AFC wild card round.It's a been a mixed bag this season for the Bills with the regular season now over and a returning Pucks has his thoughts on the good and bad of it. On one hand they're no longer divisional champs for the first time in six years but at least they're in the dance---something teams like Kansas City, Baltimore and Cincinnati among others can't say.From there the guys talk about Sunday's game, what they think it's going to take to move in the playoffs and how they feel things are going to play out.Should the Bills lose, the big story will be what---if anything could be the fall out from it. Could general manager Brandon Beane, who's made some significant mistakes in a few key spots over the past few years, be fire? Could head coach Sean McDermott actually be on the hot seat? A whole host of possibilities are discussed today. That and much more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

Bills To Face Jags - Now The Real Fun Begins

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss the Buffalo Bills toying with the New York Jets in the regular season finale, 35-8 before quickly turning their attention towards next week's wild card round showdown with the hottest team in the NFL, Jacksonville Jaguars.The Bills absolutely dominated the Jets from the start of what's likely the last ever game at Highmark Stadium. While the Bills deserve plenty of credit for the effort it was also obvious the Jets looked like a team running for the bus. The guys talk about some of the takeaways from the game, including Dalton Kincaid looking impressive in his brief return to action, a nice afternoon for Mitch Trubisky in the passing game and a complete defensive shutdown of the hapless Jets.It wasn't all roses for the Bills on Sunday though---kicker Matt Prater reaggravated a quad injury and Bills general manager Brandon Beane will be scrambling for a kicker this week before the playoffs.Speaking of, the attention shifts to Jacksonville, who is steamrolling into the playoffs on the strength of an eight-game winning streak and nine of their last 10.The guys also react to a lot of what they say today from both fans and the media with the Highmark Stadium finale. Was the emotion completely justified or perhaps a bit over the top? Can it difficult to balance incredible memories inside the stadium and only having to move across the street as opposed to if the team was relocating to another city or even different part of town? The guys give plenty of honest thoughts on it.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

The guys discuss the history of the stadium and some of the more memorable moments of things that happened inside and outside of Highmark. Also, Patrick drops a personal Highmark Stadium fun fact that may leave you shocked.They also spend plenty of time talking about the Bills including how they should approach Sunday's finale against the Jets and who if anyone does Joe prefer see the Bills play against in the playoffs.Plus, the Sabres have won 10 in a row and may never lose again and tons more as the guys get 2026 rolling.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Should There Be A Bills Playoff Preference?

E

On today's episode of Talking Buffalo, the first of 2026 Patrick Moran discusses why he doesn't truly have a preference for who the Buffalo Bills will end up playing in the wild card round of the AFC playoffs next week in addition to having a little fun with who should be "Leading the Charge" for the Bills in their last ever regular season home game at Highmark Stadium this Sunday.Happy New Year everyone! It's not that Patrick is either afraid of the Bills facing any particular opponent in the playoffs this year nor is he overconfident against anyone either, he just doesn't think there's a major advantage or disadvantage to facing one specific team. Patrick goes over each of the possibilities and why it could be a good---or bad match up for the Bills. It also wouldn't be the least surprising if the Bills come out of the AFC and get to their first Super Bowl of this current regime, nor would it be the least bit shocking if they lost by two scores to anyone in the first round. Patrick feels that may be true this year more than any of the past six.Also, the tradition of leading the charge for a former Bills alumni comes to an end along with the stadium. Patrick posed the question of who should be leading the charge on Twitter earlier this week and got some great (if not predictable) answers. He also then asked for wrong answers only and there were doozies. He shares those and plenty more.Here's to a great 2026 friends!Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly positional analysis of the Buffalo Bills, including grades from the disappointing but also a blessing in disguise loss to Philadelphia this past weekend before turning their attention towards Sunday’s last regular season home and probably the last game ever at Highmark Stadium.The Bills played incredible on defense but couldn't sustain anything on offense that resulted in points for well over three and a half quarters. The guys go over the team like they do each week, position by position and offer thoughts on what's going right and wrong before Matt settles in on his grades.From there, they spend time discussing the finale against the New York Jets, how they may handle it with certain starters, if the Jets have even less interest in winning this game than we think, what it may end up resulting in for the playoffs and much more.This is the last Talking Buffalo episode of the year, so Happy New Year!Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Bills Biggest Week 17 Takeaways: Don't Blame The Wrong Guy

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over several of his biggest takeaways after watching back the film from the Buffalo Bills final seconds 13-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles that ended any chance of Buffalo winning the AFC east for a sixth straight year, including a major debate on who’s most to blame for Buffalo losing.After wasting a strong bell to bell defensive effort because an offense that couldn’t get out of it’s own way until the final five minutes, Buffalo scored two late touchdowns in the fourth quarter. However, Michael Badgley missing the first extra point led to head coach Sean McDermott deciding to go for two points and the win after Josh Allen scored with five seconds left, a decision surely rooted in not trusting Badgley to make the extra point to send it to overtime. The play was there to be made, Allen missed the throw (badly) and Buffalo suffered its fifth loss.A lot of Bills fans put the loss primarily on offensive coordinator Joe Brady, including PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective on the live show here yesterday. Patrick vehemently disagrees though, especially after watching the game back and points out several instances why he thinks it’s primarily the fault of the franchise QB and reigning MVP.The tape shows that he didn’t much help from his offensive line either and Patrick points out two guys specifically who really struggled. PS: Josh Allen has now been sacked a career-high 40 times.The other side of the ball was incredible for Buffalo, and Patrick goes over a handful of stand outs and why it’s perhaps the Bills biggest silver lining from this game.That plus what the Bills may do in their Highmark Stadium finale against the Jets, who they may prefer to see in the wild card round and much more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Josh Blows It Versus Philly (Live Reactions)

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective not long after the Buffalo Bills missed a golden opportunity to beat the Philadelphia Eagles on a two point play at the end of the game, losing 13-12 and officially ending their run of five straight AFC division titles.The Bills defense did absolutely everything possible to keep Buffalo in the game on a day where the offense, for the most stunk. The defense held Jalen Hurts without a completion and just 17 total yards as a team in the second half as the offense finally caught up to erase a 13 point deficit in the fourth quarter. However, after an Allen touchdown with five seconds left and the decision to go for two, Allen badly missed on a wide open Khalil Shakir for what would've been an incredible comeback victory and keep their division title hopes alive. The guys talk about if it was the right decision to go for two and the overall play for Josh, who was----not good.There were a few positive things to take away from the game, including Brandin Cook stepping up at wide receiver and an entire defensive unit that was mostly lights out.The Bills will very likely end up the sixth or seventh seed going into the playoffs. The guys discuss potential scenarios and much more.You can follow PK on Twitter @PK_BSC and check out the Buffalo Sports Collective podcast.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

Ep 2Bills vs Eagles Preview & Five Bold Predictions

E

On this bonus Saturday edition of Talking Buffalo. Patrick Moran has a full preview of the Buffalo Bills upcoming showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles at Highmark Stadium on Sunday, including three keys to a Bills victory, five "bold" predictions for the game and taking a stab who he thinks will win and by what score.The Bills have already clinched a playoff spot but there's still plenty to play for, at least potentially against Philadelphia this week. For starters, winning this game along with the home finale against the New York Jets next week guarantees Buffalo no worse than the five seed and a likely first round playoff matchup at Pittsburgh. Additionally, it at least gives Buffalo a fighting chance to still win the division going into Week 18. Patrick goes over a handful of scenarios and how he thinks head coach Sean McDermott will handle the roster over these last two games.He also spends time discussing both teams in terms of injuries and where they seem to be at right now, including a Philadelphia team that just feels loaded on paper and is very good, but seems to still be lacking a little bit with five losses this season.Patrick also lays out his three keys to a Bills victory, which includes a pair of uneventful defensive tackles badly needing to step up for Buffalo. From there it's five bold predictions before selecting who he thinks will win. Patrick's picked against the Bills four times this season and they're undefeated when he does so. Will he pick against them again? That and plenty more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

Bills Positional Analysis, Grades & Looking Towards Philly

E

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly positional analysis of the Buffalo Bills, including grades from the Cleveland game before turning their attention towards Sunday's home matchup that may---or may not end up being meaningful.Clean and pretty are not adjectives that would describe Buffalo's performance against the three-win Browns on the road this past Sunday. What matters most of course is that Buffalo found a way to win anyway, 23-20 and keep alive their hopes of a AFC east divisional title. The guys go through the game not so much in recap style but instead positionally, talking about what they liked and didn't before Matt ultimately assigns his weekly grade for each unit.They also spend some time talking about a Philadelphia Eagles team coming to Orchard Park this Sunday that gets two key starters back from injury and while they're not quite the juggernaut they were last year in winning the Super Bowl right now, they're still a super talented and formidable foe the Bills will need to beat if they have any divisional title aspirations going into the final week.Also, with Christmas coming Patrick shares some personal thoughts that've long made the holiday a bittersweet one for him.
