On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is going over his biggest takeaways----the good, bad and ugly from the Buffalo Bills following their remarkable come from behind victory over the Baltimore Ravens to kick off the regular season in spectacular fashion at Highmark Stadium this past Sunday night.

Quite literally per ESPN analytics the Ravens had a 99.1% of winning the game with just 4:18 left in the fourth quarter. While several fans bolted for their cars to beat late night traffic someone forget to tell the Bills the game was over. They capped off a 22-6 fourth quarter with a game-winning field goal drive as time expired. Patrick goes over several things he liked most from the team after watching the game back on film, starting of course with Josh Allen, who immediately reverted back to last year's MVP form when the team absolutely needed to have it. Patrick also considers Sunday quite possibly the best game of Ed Oliver's career as well as the coming out party for second-year wide receiver among several other things discussed.

However it's not all roses for the Bills despite the victory and there's a lot to work on. Patrick talks about the horrible play from the safety position, some awful two point conversion chasing by the team, sketchy coordinating from Joe Brady, a newly extended defender continuing to not be very impressive to Patrick and a defensive tackle who looks very close to the end. There was also some ugly thing and one near catastrophic mistake from a Bills rookie that literally almost cost the game on the final field goal kick.

That plus Patrick gives some respect to Sean McDermott's attitude with this team, potential longer term ramifications with this huge Buffalo win and much more.
