Talking Buffalo

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by sports broadcaster Steve Bermel for tons of live reaction not long after the Buffalo Bills (barely) survived the hapless Cleveland Browns, 23-20 in a game marred by sloppy if not sometimes pathetic play from the Bills. Also, the Buffalo Sabres are suddenly scorching hot.The Buffalo defense did it usually sleepwalking through the start of the game as Cleveland scored a touchdown on their first drive, but Buffalo seemingly took control with touchdowns on their first three possessions. However, they scored just three points on their last six full drives and got a few great plays from the defense--and a few lucky breaks along the way to preserve the win. Patrick and Steve have tons of reaction from this slopfest both good and bad.Among the biggest subjects discussed is Greg Rousseau finally carrying the defense on their back when they needed it most in addition to Matt Milano, Jordan Poyer and Tre White continuing to turn back the clock. Meanwhile on the other side of the ball, Josh Allen did some good things but also a few untimely bad throws and certainly wasn't helped by inexcusable drops from Brandin Cooks and Dawson Knox. The guys have thoughts on this and other team matters.They also spend some time talking about the surging Buffalo Sabres, who faced off in New Jersey Sunday night for their sixth win in a row, the longest winning streak in the NHL. In doing so they're building optimism that the team can turn things around and get back into contention. That and plenty more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of the Buffalo Bills traveling to Cleveland to take on the Browns Sunday, including three keys to a Bills victory, five bold predictions for the game and a final score prediction.The Buffalo Bills are 10-4. They're a good football team. The Cleveland Browns are 3-11. They're not a good football team. Patrick spends time discussing both teams and realizes the Browns have a good enough defense, led by the best playmaker if not player in the league to make it worrisome for a Buffalo team that's been spotty on the road all season long.That leads to Patrick's three Buffalo keys, which includes a strong commitment to not letting the Browns shorten the game on the ground. From there it's five bold predictions and one includes getting a budding All-Pro into the end zone for a touchdown. Patrick's certainly not picking the Bills to lose the game, but does he think they'll cover the 10.5 point spread on the road? 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.

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 for each position before turning their attention to matchup on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns the Bills will be significantly favored in yet can't take lightly.There wasn't much abnormal about the Bills performance this past Sunday in Foxboro against the New England Patriots. They gave up at least 31 points, which of course Buffalo won seeing they're now 4-0 this season when giving up at least 31 points. Matt and Patrick talk about some of the things the Bills did as a team that for the time being anyway kept alive Buffalo's hopes of a sixth consecutive divisional title.In terms of their weekly positional analysis it pretty much has read like it has most the season, with Buffalo excelling at quarterback, running back and tight end on the offense side with the defense yet again being a complete mixed bag. Old vets like Tre White and Matt Milano really stepped up in this game, which helped overcome other veterans like Shaq Thompson and Larry Ogunjobi having mostly lousy outings. The guys talk about it and Matt, as usual assigns a grade for each position.They also take a look at the Browns, who have a very bad record and are pretty void of talent, but have some playmakers on defense and none so more than Myles Garrett, who can literally break the all-time NFL single season sack record this Sunday against the Bills.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran shares several of his biggest takeaways after watching back the film and pouring over stats from the Buffalo Bills come from behind victory this past Sunday on the road against the New England Patriots and thinks the Bills are the NFL's new kardiac kids.Back in the early 80's the Cleveland Browns were regarded as the Kardiac Kids because of their ability to come from behind and win improbable games late. The Bills fell down by three touchdowns in Foxboro against a team that had won 10 in a row and was on the verge of clinching the AFC East. Not so fast, of course---as Buffalo erased the deficit and went on to win. In fact, the Bills are now 4-0 this season when they give up at least 31 points.Patrick has several thoughts on the game, including the old guard on defense really carrying them this past Sunday. Tre White had an interception and carried the second-highest PFF grade of his career in this game, while Matt Milano had a pair of sacks. Both very much looked like the former All Pro versions of themselves on this day.Of course, Josh Allen and James Cook led the way on offense but it's been the tight ends that have consistently carried the passing game.That plus the good and bad of Sean McDermott and tons more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

On this emergipod edition of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by hockey writer and sports media personality Joe Yerdon to discuss the Monday Buffalo Sabres bombshell that'd been rumored for days----the firing of general manager Kevyn Adams and appointment of Jarmo Kekalainen to take his position.After five and a half largely unsuccessful seasons as general manager, Adams is officially out. With him at the helm Buffalo went 178-196-42 and never finished higher than 20th in the league standings as the Sabres historic playoff drought reached 14 and in high danger of being 15 this season. Rather than wait for the season to play out Terry Pegula is finally making the change now, going to someone with vast more experience entering the position in Kekalainen than Adams had (aka none) when Adams took the job back in 2020. Jarmo spent parts of 12 seasons as the general manager in Columbus before being fired in 2024 and moving into the Sabres department under a senior advisory role in May of this year.Joe has plenty and we mean plenty to say about both the departure of Adams and the promotion of Kakalainein, including on if it's a move he agrees with, the timing of it, an evaluation of Adams' job both on and off the ice over the past five years, what he expects from Kekalainen going forward, what it may mean for head coach Lindy Ruff and boatloads more.Follow Joe on Blue Sky @joeyerdon.bsky.social and on [email protected]’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for live reaction following the Buffalo Bills offense going nuclear in the second half and the defense doing just enough to beat the New England Patriots, 35-31 and keep their AFC east hopes alive.With the season Matt Stafford's having with Los Angeles and their record, it's probably too late for Josh Allen to rally and win a second consecutive MVP. But boy is he building up a case late in the season for the repeat. After a sluggish start the Bills scored a touchdown on five consecutive drives and Allen as usual was the catalyst. The fact the Bills are clicking on offense without much of anything from the wide receivers outside of Khalil Shakir is incredible. The guys try to make sense of it all.Speaking of not making much sense, how about the Bills defense? After getting absolutely gashed for 287 yards and 24 points in the the first half alone, the defense bit back hard in the second half. They gave up a frustrating 65 yard touchdown run to Treyveon Henderson but aside from that gave up a total of just 15 yards on New England's other four possessions, including an interception by Tre White. Again, the guys try to make sense of that.Sean McDermott was awful in the first half but to his credit, his team clearly never felt like the game was over and played like it in the second half. The guys talk about that, if they have a different feeling about the Bills going forward and tons more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Bills and other topics, including the time being now for the Bills in multiple ways.For the immediate future, the time is literally now for the Bills to keep their AFC east division title hopes alive as they travel to Foxboro on Sunday to face the New England Patriots. The Bills realistically need to win out starting this week and have New England lose to either the New York Jets or Miami over the past two weeks to win their sixth consecutive divisional crown. Whether that happens or not the Bills still have a golden opportunity to win the AFC and get to a Super Bowl, and the guys discuss why there should be immense pressure for them to get it done in a year where Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow are all down and possibly out.The guys also talk about a non-Josh Allen reason why they think the Bills can run the table come January as well as what their biggest concerns are with this team going forward. They also discuss what major ramifications, if any may come their way if they fall on another year of Josh Allen's prime.They also weigh in on a contested debate over whether Greg Rousseau is worth the considerable contract extension he signed off season.Also, the Buffalo Sabres a complete tire fire and Patrick hates them. Is him openly rooting for them to lose going too far? That plus a review of the James Cook cookie, Joe's Mt.

The guys, as they usually do go through each position for a discussion on what liked and didn't like from last Sunday before Matt hands out his grades for each.Tight end has been a position of strength and good grades almost all season long and spoiler alert---it continues here.Christian Benford had a sensational game but how much did the play of his teammates effect the overall grade of the cornerback room?Also, the Patriots are coming off their bye and can officially end the Bills five year AFC east run with a home victory on Sunday.

On this milestone 1,200th episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to go over seven of their biggest takeaways on the hells of the Buffalo Bills picking up a big victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Orchard Park to improve to 9-4 and tremendously increase the probability of making the post season.Josh Allen played at the level vs the Bengals that made him last year's MVP. While winning the award for a second consecutive is almost surely off the table because of Matt Stafford, the guys talk about how Allen was the best player on the field in a game with a handful of elite players. They go over a few of those plays that should give any Bills fan confidence this is a team that can beat anyone if Allen's playing like he did this past week.Christian Benford putting together an All-Pro worthy second half of the season, the tight end position continuing to quietly dominate opponents, Sean McDermott being aggressive when he knew he couldn't afford not too, the nickel/dime defenders in the Bills secondary having a terrible outing and emerging concern about star running back James Cook suddenly developing a fumbling problem are also discussed at length.That plus how a few outstanding individual plays helped mask a poor overall defensive showing, what PK has been up to and plenty more!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens not long after the Buffalo Bills needed and got a MVP performance from reigning MVP Josh Allen in a thrilling 39-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.It was a game that was not easy on the heart rate for fans of either team. At the end of the day Buffalo got the plays they needed both from Josh and consecutive huge plays from the defense to win to improve to 9-4 on the season, go a long (long) way towards securing a playoff spot and keep their hopes alive in the AFC east.Patrick and Joe talk about Josh going 22-28 for 253 yards and 3 touchdowns and added 78 yards on the ground, including a career-long 40 yard touchdown run and a scramble on third and long to put the game away.Meanwhile the defense mostly stunk. However, Christian Benford made an incredible athletic play that completely swung the game in Buffalo's favor and AJ Epenesa picked off a DaQuan Jones deflection for an interception on the very next play.There's so much to to get to and what it means covered today.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly Buffalo Bills positional analysis and grades on the heels of last week's impressive 26-7 victory in Pittsburgh before turning a quick eye to what will be an exciting matchup this Sunday afternoon against the Cincinnati Bengals.It wasn't exciting if you're into Josh Allen slinging the ball around but the Bills handled the Steelers on their home field in impressive fashion, led by a running game that simply imposed their will all over a helpless Pittsburgh defense. While it's obvious the Bills running backs and offensive line are going to grade (very) high, who else does Matt have his highest marks set on? Conversely, who will Matt have the most criticism for? Being negative is certainly hard to come by as this was arguably Buffalo's best road game of the season, especially given the injuries.Also, the Bengals are coming to Orchard Park on Sunday afternoon a dangerous and desperate team. They're 4-8 on the season and need to win out to have a chance to make the post season, so this is essentially a playoff game for them. While their record stinks Joey Burrow is back and he doesn't. The Bengals are 8-0 in high last eight starts so the Bills will be severely tested.Also discussed is another Bills injury, this time to Joey Bosa is going to thin out an already thinned out position. That plus Patrick may retire from in-game opinion tweets 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.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is going over many of his biggest Buffalo Bills takeaways after watching back the film and going over stats from the Bills impressive road victory in Pittsburgh over the Steelers, 26-7 both from the game itself and going forward into this stretch run of the regular season.The Bills were down four offensive starers including both tackles but it didn't stop the offense from racking up 249 rushing yards on the ground against a pretty decent defense. Patrick talks about prematurely bashing Joe Brady on social media early in the game before smartening up to exactly what the Bills were doing and why. Sometimes simple is better when the other team can't stop it and Brady's intelligence didn't come in fooling Pittsburgh but simply by not allowing himself to get to cute. It certainly won't work every week and hopefully Brady keeps it matchup specific but he implemented the right plan at the time against the right opponent for sure.Patrick also talks about why he thinks the Bills defense is straight up better when Shaq Thompson is the middle linebacker.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for tons of live reaction soon after the conclusion of the Buffalo Bills going to Pittsburgh and quite literally imposing their will on the Steelers, dominating them 26-7 to pick up an important eighth victory of the season.The Bills ran the ball against the Steelers in Pittsburgh at their stadium quite literally like no one has in 50 years. Buffalo ran for 249 yards, including 144 from James Cook and 66 more from Ray Davis as the Bills held the ball for over 41 minutes. Pittsburgh was so helpless in the second half that head coach Mike Tomlin didn't even bother using his timeouts when the Bills were up 16 and chewing up the clock in the fourth quarter on a nine minute drive. Incredibly the Bills did this with not one but both their starting tackles out for the game. The guys talk about how the Bills produced what may not be pretty but is probably their best path to winning games in January with this performance.The defense was very good when they were on the field, which wasn't a ton. The guys talk about Joey Bosa having one of the biggest plays of the season on the first snap of the third quarter that really changed the trajectory of this game. Plus, Shaq Thompson made his presence felt at middle linebacker in place of Terrel Bernard. They have tons of other reactions from this mostly one side Bills win, including what it means in the standings, how they feel about Buffalo's fortunes going forward and tons more.

It's a bonus Saturday episode on today's Talking Buffalo, as Patrick Moran is previewing a Buffalo Bills at Pittsburgh Steelers matchup on Sunday that's very important for both teams and as always includes three keys to a Buffalo victory, five bold predictions for the game and a final score prediction & guess.Injuries have been a factor for the Bills all season long and perhaps at no point are they feeling that more than this week against a Steelers team in badly in need of a win as Buffalo. For the first time in a long time and perhaps his entire career, Josh Allen will be without both his starting tackles due to injury in a game as Dion Dawkins (concussion) and Spencer Brown have both been ruled out. That injured list also includes middle linebacker Terrell Bernard already ruled out and a handful of other guys questionable. Patrick talks about the injuries especially on the offensive and while it's unquestionably demoralizing and will hamper some of the things the offense may be able to to do, there is one silver lining worth explaining.After some thoughts on how the Buffalo lineup may look with roster moves and practice squad elevations and spending time talkin about a Pittsburgh team with a lot of star power but not ranking very well on either side of the ball, Patrick gets into his three biggest keys to a Bills win, with the biggest a continuation of the dead horse he's been beating all week about the offense avoiding the turnovers that've killed them in previously losses this year.Then it's time for five bold predictions and stuck to find five, Patrick enlists the help of his wife to come up with two. That's followed by a prediction for a game and Patrick deliberates if he's going to go with his heart or his head for who leaves this game victorious. That plus Christmas season has arrived even for the holdouts 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.

On this Black Friday episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran recovers from plates full of turkey to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics as they head towards the critical stretch of the regular season, including what he thinks is the one and only thing the Bills can control and do that can turn around what currently feels like a sinking ship.The Bills aren't moving on from embattled offensive coordinator Joe Brady this late in the season. The receivers don't get open enough and arguably aren't good enough. There's just too many guys on defense playing well past their prime and of course injuries have been a big factor. It's too late to really do anything about that. So what can the Bills realistically find a way to get back to doing to save this season?Patrick thinks it's simple----stop turning the ball over so much and get a few more takeaways of your own. The Bills turned the ball over three times in their loss at Houston last week and have turned it over a total of 11 times in their four losses alone this year. That's a far cry from last year, when they had just eight turnovers for the entire season! They've also failed to have a takeaway in three of their four losses and again, they led the NFL last year in turnover margin. Somehow, someway the Bills and specifically Josh Allen have to better at taking care of the football and the defense has to start producing some strips sacks, forced fumbles in the open field, interceptions or something to turn the tide for a defense that's at best inconsistent.Patrick also has several thoughts on wide receiver Brandin Cooks signing with the Bills, cutting Elijah Moore and also adding defensive end Shaq Lawson---again. That plus plenty to be thankful for and a lot more. Happy Holiday season!Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation's Matt Warren for his weekly visit to discuss the Buffalo Bills, including their positional analysis and grades from last week's disaster in Houston before focusing squarely on a huge matchup this coming weekend in Pittsburgh against the Steelers.It's not a pretty distinction to have but for the time being, the Bills have established themselves as a pretty lousy road team after falling in Houston 23-19, the third time the Bills have lost this season already as road favorites. Like they do every week, the guys go over the Bills positionally with Matt offering his analysis on how they looked last week and in some cases, for the season before assigning a grade. There's little to no good grades to be had on the offensive side of the ball, but how did the defense fare in Matt's eyes?They also spend some time on Sunday's game coming up against Pittsburgh, a pivotal one for the Bills. While the AFC east feels all but gone a victory over Pittsburgh pretty much guarantees they'd have to fall apart to miss the playoffs. A loss, however and Buffalo officially finds itself in a fight to make the postseason. That and plenty more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo blogger and podcaster Chris Ostrander to discuss both the Buffalo Sabres and Bills, including trying to figure out what version of the Sabres are right now and if the Bills have officially become a bad road team.The Sabres have become an incredibly streaky team and they've been riding a hot wave recently, winning four of their past five. They're just three points out of a wildcard as a result but also merely two points from being alone in the entire conference by themselves. Chris has plenty of thoughts on the good, bad and ugly of the team as it's now just past a quarter of the regular season gone. There's every bit of reason to have hope they can be a playoff team as a top five lottery team.Meanwhile the Bills have lost three road games this season to three pretty average-to-bad quarterbacks. Buffalo faces what's suddenly become a borderline critical game on Sunday at Pittsburgh. The Bills are favored by Vegas in this game, but Patrick explains why he doesn't think they deserve to be. What does Chris think about what's going on with Buffalo and what realistically can change to send them on a path of having a realistic chance to come out of the AFC in January?That and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss if they think the Buffalo Bills can overcome what's becoming glaring roster flows. Plus, some hilarious takes on the new movie Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story.The Bills didn't play this weekend and are still licking their wounds, literally and figuratively from their loss last Thursday night in Houston. The guys spend some time having a discussion of the flows with the roster and if the Bills can ultimately overcome it before it's too late, including certain guys regressing and playing in roles well past their prime, some core players who aren't playing like they're paid and young guys giving them next to nothing.Patrick thinks the Bills even making the playoff isn't the lock that most think it is. Does Joe agree?Also, the new Bills related Hallmark movie just dropped on Saturday and both guys watched it---Patrick twice because he loves cheesy Christmas movies and Joe because Patrick kinda forced him to.

On this bonus Saturday episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is going over all his biggest Buffalo Bills takeaways after seeing the film and going over stats on the heels of the Bills going to Houston and getting physically beat--and beat up against the Texans in their 23-19 loss.The Bills can realistically kiss their hopes of winning a sixth straight AFC east division title goodbye. Before getting into Houston game specifics Patrick spends time discussing what's wrong with the roster for pretty much the entire season to this point and why it's unlikely to change.As far as Houston, Patrick goes over all eight of Josh Allen's sacks and what went wrong---from an offensive line that was dominated to receivers not getting open, bad blocking schemes and a quarterback that was holding the ball for too long. Also, it led to three more Bills giveaways as the team has shockingly become a turnover machine.Defensively things were generally much better but even still---this felt like a game they needed the defense to get sack and force turnovers, something they weren't able to do against backup quarterback Davis Mills.All this is discussed plus the infuriating 1:03 at the end of the second quarter, guys who are flat out hurting this team at this point, worrying about how the rest of the season will play out and much more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for plenty of instant live reaction just moments after the Buffalo Bills went to Houston and saw Josh Allen take the beating of his career in a Texans 23-19 victory that all but kills the Bills realistic chances of winning a sixth straight AFC east title.Allen was sacked eight times, pressured countless and times and threw two backbreaking interceptions. While plenty of that was on an offensive line that got utterly dominated by Houston's front four and dominated is an understatement---Allen deserves plenty of blame himself for holding on to the ball too long at times, making a handful of bad decisions and a few lousy throws throughout the game.Joe Brady deserves a lot of blame too as the Bills far too often vacated the running game with James Cook, with the exception of going to him on an incredibly stupid fourth down call.The guys discuss the all the other good, bad and ugly of everything from the Buffalo perspective including yet a handful more injuries sure to hurt the team.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren (SB Nation) for their weekly Buffalo Bills positional analysis and report card grades from last weekend's win over Tampa in addition to taking a look at a Houston Texans the Bills will face on a short week on Thursday night.Chaos was the name of the game for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and that was mostly a good thing, especially for a Buffalo that turned back the clock to the Josh Allen days of old and were slinging the ball all over the field. The guys go over each position group on the offense that put up 44 points despite turning the ball over three times and between the mistakes and a rushing game that really didn't take off til near the end of the game, assigning grades could be a little tricky for Matt this time around.Ditto on the defensive side of the ball as the unit was gashed for over 200 yards in the running game yet again and gave up 32 points. However they did produce two takeaways and got a few key stops along the way. How will Matt's pen treat the defense?Plus, wow did the special teams return unit ever have their coming out party. That plus a discussion about their coaching, a tough turnaround before hitting the road to face a Texans team potentially down their quarterback in prime time on Thursday night and much more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is going over his biggest Buffalo Bills takeaways after watching back the film from their 44-32 victory over Tampa on Sunday, including why the Bills would be best served to leave Keon Coleman on the inactive list beyond just this game.Coleman was a healthy scratch for the Bills following him reportedly being late to a team meeting on Friday, the third publicly known instance that's led to discipline from Sean McDermott. From what Patrick and surely most of you saw from the receivers and offense in general on Sunday, they may legitimately be better off without him. Snap counts where shared nearly equally by five different receivers and all had a hand in Buffalo's offensive explosion. Patrick explains why Josh Palmer, Khalil Shakir and Tyrell Shavers should be the first three three receivers going forward, with Gabe Davis back in the No. 4 role he had early in his career and Curtis Samuel as the inside/outside No. 5 with versatility. Hell, Keon shouldn't even be the next guy up at this point, a distinction Patrick thinks should fall on Elijah Moore.Patrick also goes over some of the reasons he felt this was a Joe Brady redemption game and why he's not dwelling on any Josh Allen mistakes when he puts up the kind of numbers he did on Sunday.It was a mixed bag on defense and Patrick goes over a lot of it, from the good (Terrel Bernard, Christian Benford, Cole Bishop, Jordan Poyer) to the bad (Joey Bosa, Greg Rousseau, Matt Milano) and if some changes could be on the way for the defense. That plus special teams deserves some love, a quick turnaround in getting ready for Houston and much more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for a ton of live reaction not long after the Buffalo Bills earned a badly needed victory over the Tampa Bay Bucs, 44-32 in one of the wilder games of the season.If superb offense, borderline pathetic defense and 10 lead changes are your thing, you're in luck with this one. The guys talk about the good, bad and ugly of everything from Buffalo's perspective in this one.Offensively it was a bit of a head scratcher for the Bills. Josh Allen threw two interceptions and a handful of other mistakes that definitely left points on the board. Yet it didn't matter as he accounted for more than 350 total yards and six touchdowns. "Everybody Eats" was back too as several guys enjoyed meals in the Buffalo passing game, including a big day from Tyrell Shavers and over 120 receiving yards from the Bills running backs.Defensively was kind of disastrous and the guys discuss how this unit is little more than a reputation defense at this point---a dog that's far more bark than bite.They also discuss of the biggest plays and players that shaped this game, where they think Buffalo is headed following this, the controversial Keon Coleman benching and tons more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran provides a Buffalo Bills vs Tampa Bay Bucs preview, including keys to a Buffalo victory, five bold predictions for this game and why this is must-win for the Bills in some ways.The Bills are 6-3 and sitting in very decent shape, record-wise. However, if they want to realistically have a shot at the No. 1 seed in the AFC or even more importantly, stay right in the race for a sixth straight divisional title, they absolutely can't afford to drop this game to the Bucs or any home game remaining for that matter. Patrick highlights four players where the pressure to win this game and start playing better is turned up the most.He also takes a look at a very talented and battle tested Tampa team that comes to Highmark Stadium with a lot of confidence, fueled by quarterback Baker Mayfield, who right now is very much in the mix for 2025 NFL MVP.From there Patrick lays out three keys to a Buffalo win on Sunday, including pressuring Baker Mayfield, finding a way to stop the deep ball he loves throwing and making the Buffalo offense more of a threat in the passing game themselves. That plus five bold predictions for the game, will Patrick actually pick against the Bills and much more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On today's Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by both Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic and Kris Baker of Sabres Prospects to discuss how the Buffalo Sabres can weather the storm of injuries and illnesses that are already threatening their season as well as their popular hockey show and other topics.The Sabres have been competitive so far this season but both on ice injuries and significant illnesses off it already have the season in peril. From injuries on face offs, face laceration infections, blood clots and life threating health scares to significant others, Buffalo has been anything but healthy. It's a big reason why they're currently sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The guys go over everything beyond their control what's went wrong and if this team is incapable of not falling off to a point contending for the playoffs later in the season becomes insurmountable.Patrick also asks them about Alex Tuch and if the guys think it's only going to get harder to see sign him to an extension as the season goes on. If they can't, what can they get for him in a trade and how demoralizing would being unable to lock him up be to the organization?They also spend a little time talking a few other topics, including the Buffalo Bills, a team both guys obviously follow pretty closely as well. That plus how's life with the Baker Fairburn Hockey Show and much more.You can follow Matt on Twitter at @MatthewFairburnand of course check out his coverage of the Sabres at The Athletic,Follow Kris Baker @SabresProspects and be sure to check out the Baker Fairburn Hockey Show wherever you get your podcasts.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation's Matt Warren for some Buffalo Bills positional analysis, including a discussion on a few positions that could potentially see changes going forward as early as this coming week.As they've done every week throughout the season, Patrick and Matt get together mid-week to go over the Bills most recent performance position-by-position to discuss the good and bad before Matt ultimately hands out a grade for each. Unfortunately for Bills Mafia this past week was a failing one as the Bills absolutely stunk up Hard Rock Stadium in their three score loss to the lowly 2-7 Dolphins.Could this lead to some changes internally? The guys discuss is Gabe Davis could be just about ready to join the active roster and if so, does that come at the expense of an underwhelming Keon Coleman? Also should Shaq Thompson start at linebacker if his calf if good to go this week over either Matt Milano or Terrell Bernard and also should Max Hairston go back to a platoon with Tre White if Christian Benford's back on Sunday or has Hairston done enough the wrestle the job away.That plus a discussion about an interesting new book, frustration towards Brandon Beane if a NFL Network report is accurate and much more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran offers his biggest takeaways from the Buffalo Bills colossal disaster loss in Miami on Sunday after spending time going over all of the statistics as well as watching back the game take, including a plea for the reigning MVP quarterback to stop taking all the bullets at the podium after these type of losses.Josh Allen did not play well enough to give Buffalo their best chance to win on Sunday, let's be very clear about that. He had two turnovers in this game in the second half, both in Miami territory that were on no one but himself. Essentially that took Buffalo out of the running to come back late. That said, Allen stood at the podium yet again and burdened all the accountability to what was an ugly loss to a team that's been very bad all season. While it's been admirable and unselfish for the Bills leader to be the most accountable player on the team, Patrick would like to see, to use a wrestling term, a bit of a "heel turn" from Allen and start calling out some of his teammates, his coaching, the game plan and specific play calls. Guys like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers may be considered jerks in a lot of ways but they were never afraid to point the fingers at others and it often helped spark their team.Of course, the passing game often looked in shambles despite Allen going over 100 yards and at the root of it is once again Keon Coleman. He had a 35 yard touchdown against a third string cornerback but some of the routes he ran on film look less than 100%. Is there true discourse between quarterback and receiver? Sure seems like it at this point, how long does Buffalo continue to try and force Keon to be a big part of the offense because where he was drafted?The defense had its struggles too and the linebackers were often a big part of it. What in the world has happened to Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano? It's ugly out there for them. That plus why ego could be keeping the Bills back from unlocking their best potential and much more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for a ton of heated live reaction on the Buffalo Bills going down to Miami and and putting forth an absolutely disgraceful performance against the Dolphins, losing 30-13 to put their AFC east division title hopes in extreme jeopardy.There's a myriad of factors that contributed to the Bills stunning loss at Hard Rock Stadium and despite doing a lot of good things and trying to carry the offense on his back by himself, Josh Allen was guilty of two horrific turnovers in the second half that were on no one but himself, both in Miami territory too.The fault hardly ends there and the guys have a ton to say about it. From a defense that's actually reliant on guys like Jordan Phillips and Jordan Poyer to be meaningful contributors to an offense featuring receivers that flat out can't get open, to an offensive coordinator calling passing plays on fourth and a yard and a team that didn't look ready to overcome any adversity at all, it was just ugly and perhaps humbling.They also talk about what to expect going forward, including Dalton Kincaid having a hamstring injury that makes this roster even thinner, Joe's Mt. Flushmore and plenty of fire for Brandon Beane. That plus did this kill any Super Bowl vibes and much more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of the Buffalo Bills traveling to Miami to face the Dolphins, including the lowdown on both teams, three keys to a Bills victory, five bold predictions and a final score pick with explanation.The Bills are back on track after a road win at Carolina and beating the three-time defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs in Orchard Park this past Sunday. Meanwhile Miami is 2-7 and just fired their general manager over the past week. It's a mismatch on paper and Patrick explains why there's good reason for that. For a lack of a better wording, the Dolphins stink---on both sides of the ball.That said, this is the NFL and we just watched Carolina go on the road and knock off the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. Patrick goes over three keys for the Bills that will guard against them being upset at Hard Rock Stadium. From there it's five bold predictions----is Keon Coleman finally going to put together a big game? Patrick seems to think so. That plus a final score guess, will the Bills cover the 9.5 spread?

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by broadcaster and recurring guest Steve Bermel to talk Buffalo Bills, when/if the Bills will admit to having a Keon Coleman problem and discuss if Brandon Beane could at least be flirting with approaching hot seat territory.Quite frankly it feels unnecessary negative to discuss anything with the Bills in anything but a positive light since they came back from their bye to smack Carolina on the road and then handle the three-time defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs this past Sunday as home underdogs. The Bills are back to sitting pretty at 6-2 and very much alive in the race for the best record in the AFC.Only it doesn't quite feel so great about this team because of the injuries, because there's a few players that just can't get it going and mostly because the trade deadline just came and went without the Bills making a move. The guys discuss Buffalo not making a trade and Patrick doesn't really buy Beane's comments to the media on Wednesday. While both guys acknowledge there's almost no change Beane's getting fired anytime soon regardless of how this plays out, Patrick thinks it's fair to ask if Beane at least deserves to have the heat cranked up on him should this roster fall short yet again in January in its goal to reach the Super Bowl.They also talk about Keon Coleman and his role with this team. How much you should expect from Keon is up for debate but one thing's for sure---the stats are ugly and if you're expecting anything more besides a willing blocker who catches a few passes per game for a few dozen yards, you're likely disappointed.They also talk about the latest injuries the team is dealing with heading to Miami. That plus the Sabres have become OT merchants and much more. Follow Steve on Twitter @SteveBurmel.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation to go over the Buffalo Bills positionally with analysis and grades stemming from their win last weekend against Kansas City in addition to a NFL trade deadline that featured some final day fireworks but no trades by Brandon Beane.There were a few whopper blockbuster trades on deadline day, including the Jets sending Sauce Gardner to the Colts for two firsts plus AD Mitchell and then Quinen Williams to Dallas for a first, second and Mazi Smith. A handful of other deals were done but none by Buffalo. The guys have plenty of takes on Beane standing pat and a riveting rumor that broke over the final hours that Buffalo may be in on a Von Miller return and/or Deebo Samuel.Then it's back to their weekly feature where the guys go over the last game from a positional standpoint and talk about what went right and wrong for each with ultimately an assigned grade. Could the tight end room receive a rare A-plus from Matt, who gave out two of them the week prior from the Carolina game. Which positional group graded out the lowest? Who were a few under the radar studs and duds from the Chiefs game? That plus a look at Sunday's matchup in Miami and much more.Today's episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for plenty of live reaction just moments after the conclusion of the Buffalo Bills holding off the Kansas City Chiefs in another regular season thriller at Highmark Stadium, 28.21.With the NFL trade deadline less than 48 hours away at kickoff, the Bills with a couple of significant injuries and being a rare home underdog, were the Bills able to knock off the Chiefs in the regular season for a fifth consecutive time? The answer was---yes. Buffalo's defensive effort was superb against a Kansas City offense that came into the game red hot, especially considering the injuries Buffalo's defense racked up, including another devastating one to Michael Hoecht. Offensively there was balance as Josh Allen threw well, Dalton Kincaid went over 100 yards receiving and James Cook once again topped 100 yards rushingThe guys discuss the good, bad and ugly of it all and don't hold anything back, as usual with this show.Joe also has his weekly Mt.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran previews the Buffalo Bills huge matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Orchard Park this Sunday as well as offering three keys to a Bills victory, five bold predictions and a final score guess for the clash.In what's become an annual regular season tradition, all eyes around the NFL will be focused on the Bills versus Chiefs and Patrick talks about how there's plenty of stake for both teams, as the loser will have a far bigger uphill battle winning this own division let alone getting the top seed in the conference. While Buffalo's actually had Kansas City's number in the regular season over the past four years, Patrick admits that he thinks this year the Chiefs currently have the better roster as things stand and explains why.After going over both teams and things to look for, Patrick provides three keys to a Buffalo victory, including a passing game that must be up to task as it's certain KC will try to limit Buffalo's rushing attack. From there it's five bold predictions for the game including Bills fans seeing Max Hairston and not Tre White in the secondary late when the game could be hanging in the balance. Lastly, it's final score prediction time and does Patrick think the better team on paper wins or the team that always seems to play their best when regarded as the underdog?

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Spectrum News sports anchor Andy Young for a Buffalo Bills vs Kansas City Chiefs primer in advance of their huge matchup this weekend over a conversation recorded live from Imperial Pizza in South Buffalo.It's always a big game atmosphere when the Bills and Chiefs play and their meeting in the regular season for a fifth consecutive season. The guys cover the game and discuss both teams from every angle possible, including why it feels there's at least a little more at stake for both teams in this matchup than their normal regular season matchup, as the loser could find it very (very) difficult to win their division title let alone knock down a number one seed in the conference.They discuss some of the things going on with the Bills, including how they hope to replace Ed Oliver, Gabe Davis being moved from IR to the practice squad and what could happen at linebacker at Sunday if all the Buffalo linebackers are good to go--spoiler alert---it may not be what you think.Patrick and Andy also talk about a few reasons Bills fans should feel really good about this game despite Kansas City being favored. They also talk about why beating Kansas City will be as difficult as ever and much more.Big shout-out and thank you once again to Imperial Pizzafor being a gracious host and for their excellent wings.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by popular football analyst Chris Trapasso to discuss several of their biggest takeaways from the Buffalo Bills after their Week eight shellacking of the Carolina Panthers, 40-9 to win their fifth game in seven tries and put an end to their two-game losing streak.The Bills offense was spectacular in Carolina, just not in the way most expected. The Panthers entered being pretty stingy against the run but Buffalo running back James Cook literally had a historic day rushing for the Bills, going for 216 yards in just three quarters of work--the most rushing yards by a Bill in nearly 50 years and the first time one has went over 200 yards since Fred Jackson in 2009. Chris discusses the evolution of Cook as a complete running back and the league and becoming a legitimate star.Meanwhile the Bills passing offense was pretty lousy, particularly in the first half and Chris has thoughts on what's going on with the lack of effectiveness in that area and why Josh Allen seems to be struggling. What's the biggest components?On the other side of the ball it was a nice influx of new blood that helped spark the defense to a successful day. Chris talks about Max Hairston and Jordan Hancock bringing speed and juice to the secondary while Michael Hoecht made a huge impact in his Bills debut following his six game suspension.Unfortunately this win came with a big price as star Ed Oliver tore his bicep and could potentially be done for the season. What do the Bills do to try and at least somewhat replace his production? That plus if the Bills have a linebacker controversy brewing, does Chris think Brandon Beane will make a trade(s) before the deadline next Tuesday and plenty more.Make sure to follow Chris on Twitter @ChrisTrapasso.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for tons of live reaction not long after the Buffalo Bills went to Carolina and absolutely dismantled the Panthers, 40-9 though the win may have come at a heavy price.James Cook ran for over 200 yards and two touchdowns to pace the offense while the defensive line had an excellent afternoon to lead the defense as this game was never in doubt. The guys discuss the good, bad and ugly from it all.Beyond the game the Bills suffered a potential huge (huge, huge) blow with an Ed Oliver bicep injury that had him ruled out for the rest of the game almost immediately and the obvious fear is that it's torn. The guys have thoughts on what that means for the current roster and if it suddenly makes finding a defensive tackle in the trade market the biggest priority over wide receiver or safety.They also have a Josh Allen conversation, who had another roller coaster type game? Are they worried about him going forward or he simply in a little bit of a prolonged slump? That plus thoughts on lots of other things, comments from fans in the live chat and much more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

Patrick gets into some of the things that have made the Panthers much improved from recent years, including a (very) strong running game spearheaded by Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard and one of the best young corners in the game on defense in Jaycee Horn. As for Buffalo, Jordan Poyer could be making his first start this season at safety and Patrick examines if the offense will start using the running backs more in the passing game.From there's three keys to a Bills victory, which includes Buffalo selling out to the run and making Andy Dalton (or Bryce Young) beat them in the passing game. As always there's five bold predictions for the game and Patrick has a few good ones, including the Bills getting their first interception of the season by a cornerback and a far more disciplined team outing.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran flips what was originally going to be a Podbag episode and turns into three primarily talking points on things that could help a Buffalo Bills team that has undoubtedly been reeling the past few weeks.The Bills won the first four games this season even though most of it wasn't pretty. Their caliber play then caught up to them in losing back to back games heading into their bye week against New England and Atlanta that has them second place in the division for the first time in what feels forever. During their slump, at least a slump by their standards several things have gone wrong. Patrick takes a few submissions submitted by listeners and turns them into equal parts talking points that can help turn around some of their biggest problems.It's been pretty obvious the Bills haven't used their running backs enough in the passing game. After doing some research Patrick's actually blown away by how underutilized it's been. He goes over a bunch of numbers from last year and compares it to this season's pace to conclude this offense would probably get a nice boost from having James Cook, Ty Johnson and Ray Davis more involved in the air game.Also, there's been a ton of Keon Coleman discourse over the past few weeks. Patrick dives into that as well and concludes that what's best for the Buffalo offense may not be best for Keon personally. That plus what's the most simple and achievable way for the defense to start playing much better as they come back from their bye and much more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by the Matt Warren (SB Nation) to go through the Buffalo Bills positionally with analysis and grades through their bye week that has them returning to face Carolina this weekend at 4-2.Things have really shifted recently following the Bills consecutive losses to New England and Atlanta. How much of it is overreaction? How much is the typical peaks and valleys of a NFL season? How much is legitimate cause for worry? The guys discuss all that and agree on one thing---this bye week came at the perfect time. It's an opportunity for the team to reset not just physically but also mentally and perhaps even emotionally, though both guys suggest the panic level is far greater among fans than the team itself.From there, as they do every week following the guys go through the team position by position and discuss what's worked and hasn't before Matt ultimately assigns a grade for each position. One thing that becomes obvious through the process is too many talented and well paid defenders are not playing nearly to their standard and it's hurting the team.They also spend some time discussing the rest of the season, setting up this Sunday's game against a pesky Carolina team and much more.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by broadcaster Steve Bermel for live reaction immediately after the conclusion of the Buffalo Sabres road tilt in Montreal in addition to going over a handful of Buffalo Bills players with the most to prove as the team comes off their bye week.After losing their first three to start the season and looking mostly lifeless in doing so, the Sabres gained momentum last week after defeating Ottawa and defending Stanley Cup champion Florida in impressive fashion. Did Buffalo go on the road to Montreal and continue to get things going in a positive direction? The guys discuss the good, bad and ugly of Buffalo's effort north of the border.Also, the Bills are now off their bye week and preparing to face the Carolina Panthers on the road Sunday, who've won three in a row. News came out Monday that Carolina starting quarterback Bryce Young has an ankle sprain and won't play this weekend against the Bills, but is that a good thing with Andy Dalton waiting in the wings? The guys discuss that as well as least four players on the roster that have the most to prove going forward for the rest of the season if Buffalo is going to shake off what's been a pretty lackluster start to the season despite carrying a 4-2 record.That plus some Bills concerns that may not bode well for the team if they're not careful and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several topics, including going over some of the biggest truths about the 2025 Buffalo Bills as they come off their bye week and get ready for Carolina.It's highly the likely the Bills have been doing a lot of looking in the mirror during last week's bye after losing their second consecutive game and rarely looking impressive in their four victories before that. Even if they haven't, Patrick and Joe are doing it for them. Among the bigger truths discussed is the offense needing Dalton Kincaid to succeed, Keon Coleman establishing himself as not much more than just another receiver, James Cook looking like a bargain, Tre White not being good but hardly the only big problem on the defense, Shaq Thompson looking like the best Bills linebacker and Deone Walker looking like the best among this year's rookie crop.They also go over the biggest things to come from a Buffalo Bills-less NFL Sunday, including Raiders wide receiver Jacobi Meyers being a healthy inactive---a strong indication he's getting traded somewhere soon.Also, the Sabres have won two in a row after losing their first three and and have been impressive in doing so.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo Bills beat reporter and sports media personality Matt Parrino for a Billscentric conversation recorded live from the Cheektowaga Country Club.After a 4-0 start that had a lot of people around the country talking about the Bills like they were world beaters, the team crashed back down to earth with consecutive prime time losses to New England and Atlanta. It certainly feels like the bye is coming at the perfect time for a Buffalo team that's licking their wounds both physically and mentally.Patrick opens up the panic meter on Matt by bringing up a series of topics surrounding the Bills struggles and having Matt give his analysis followed by evaluating how panicked, if at all Bills fans should be. Also, is this the least talented Bills roster since 2019? Should Brandon Beane already have buyer's remorse after his extension spree this past offseason?

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective from some live reactions just moments after the conclusion of the Buffalo Sabres beating th Ot Ottawa Senators to get their first win also some talk about what's become a very tough week for the Buffalo Bills.The Sabres have begun their season in nightmarish fashion with three losses in which they were outscored 11-2 and went 0-for-11 on the power play. That all changed in a huge way Wednesday night as the Sabres scored eight times, including three on the power play. The guys discuss the good, bad and ugly from Key Bank Center right after the game concludes, including a breakout performance from Josh Doan.They also spend plenty of time talking about a Bills team that felt on top of the world after four weeks but has crashed back to earth over the past two, stumbling into their much needed bye week with consecutive losses. Are the Bills being exposed as frauds or are they just going through a bad stretch like they seem to do every season around this time? Is what's wrong with this team fixable internally and if not, will they do something about it via the trade market The guys have a bunch of opinions on that and much more.You can follow PK on Twitter @PK_BSC and check out the Buffalo Sports Collective podcast.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation to go over the Buffalo Bills positionally and assign grades following their second consecutive prime time loss where it feels like the wheels may be coming off, this time falling in Atlanta to the Falcons, 24-14.It was a tale of two halves between the defense stinking up the stadium in the first half and the offense following suit in the second half that almost made this feel like two Buffalo losses within the same game. Like they've done all season, Patrick and Matt go through the roster and discuss what's going on and how they looked position by position and to be honest---it's very hard to find silver linings in a truly ugly loss other than the play of fourth-round rookie Deone Walker.And unlike a lot of other Buffalo losses and team shortcomings, this time Josh Allen deserves plenty of criticism for his play as well. Clearly the past few weeks have shown that there's something off with Allen's game right now and the guys do their best to try and figure out exactly what that is.Also, instead of this game being an indictment on just the players (which it also certainly was), the guys have a discussion about the coaching situation that is getting bad enough that it's fair to wonder if Sean McDermott does something about it as the Bills get started with their much needed bye week. Lastly, does Brandon Beane have the motivation to make a trade or two to try and fortify this roster for a stretch run, or is he going to bank on them simply playing better---a decision the guys and probably most of you would consider a big mistake.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for instant live reactions just moments following the Buffalo Bills losing on the road to the Atlanta Falcon, 24-14 on Monday Night Football.In dropping their second consecutive game, Joe explains why between the putrid performance from the defense in the first half and the mistake littered job by the offense in the second half, it almost felt like two separate losses in one night.Patrick goes all in on Joe Brady after the Bills offensive coordinator inexcusably failed to have James Cook on the field for two critical short yardage plays. He and Joe also don't absolve Josh Allen for having a very sub par game by his MVP standards.The Bills go into the bye in desperate need of getting physically healthy and mentally resetting.They guys also spend some time talking about the Buffalo Sabres, who yet again are off to a woeful start, losing their straight to start the season on Monday and have been outscored, 11-2 in those games with a power play that's went 0-for-11.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Chris Ostrander (Two in the Box) for live instant reactions just minutes following the conclusion of the Buffalo Sabres regular season opening shutout against the New York Rangers, 4-0 in a game made even worse by a potential significant injury to one of their best players. iThe Sabres are desperately trying to put an end to their historic 14-year NHL playoff drought. Things got off to a very ominous start after getting shutout on their home ice in a game they had to play without Owen Power (illness) and Zack Benson (face injury). Star center Josh Norris who unfortunately has had his career marred by injuries, left in the third period with an "upper body" injury sustained on a faceoff and didn't return. The guys have plenty to say about this season debut stinker that saw very few bright spots beyond goaltender Alex Lyon and new forward Josh Doan. In fact, it took Chris just one game to get (very) down on forward Jack Quinn, who often looked aimless out there. They also talk about a lack of energy at the Key Bank Center, both from the skaters to the crowd in attendance.Also, the Bills are in preparation for a Monday night game in Atlanta against the Falcons before hitting their bye week. The guys talk about some of the injuries, the lack of real help from the past two rookie classes to this point and what Brandon Beane may do at cornerback if anything before the NFL trade deadline. That and plenty more.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.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!
