On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is going over several of his biggest takeaways after watching back the Buffalo Bills preseason opener against the New York Giants, both good and bad and he's joined by Chris Mazella of the Step Brothers Sports podcast.

The Bills lost the game, 34-25 but that means absolutely nothing. What does or at least potentially mean something is how several of the players and units performed. There was plenty of things to like from the game and several are discussed, including really strong professional debuts for rookie defensive tackles TJ Sanders and Deone Walker. Also, Matt Milano took all off one play to remind fans what we've been seeing at training camp for the past few weeks. Joey Bosa had a strong Buffalo debut as well.

On thee flip side, it was a rough start for rookie defensive edge rusher Landon Jackson. We also saw at least a little bit of struggle from Tre White in his first game back with Buffalo. Also, Zach Davidson did himself no favors in an already uphill bid to make the team with two really bad drops.

There's plenty of more discussed from the game in addition to a look ahead and much more.
