On today's Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by broadcaster Steve Bermel to talk plenty of Buffalo Bills and a little Buffalo Sabres too, including discussing a few factors a bit under the radar that've helped allow the Bills to get off to another great start.

You couldn't have written the script much better for the Bills to start the season, beginning with a perfect 3-0 record that includes a huge win over Baltimore that could prove valuable come on the end of the regular season. They''ve done it by scoring at least 30 points in all three games while continuing to get key takeaways on defense that helps make up for the unit being so leaky. The guys discuss three factors on why this team remains so good, from an offensive line that never does and probably never will get the league-wide credit it deserves, an unselfish team-first attitude that starts with the MVP quarterback and the "Everybody Eats' mantra living on so they don't live in fear of a No. 1  wide receiver going down that could wreck their offense.

They also spend some time talking about the Bills complex injury situation. Ed Oliver and Matt Milano continue to make progress per Sean McDermott, but does Sean hold them out even if they're near 100% seeing that they're playing the Saints at home on Sunday? How about Spencer Brown, who didn't practice on Wednesday with a calf injury.  They also talk about the latest news, potentially significant concerning first round pick Max Hairston's ongoing recovery from his training camp knee injury.

Across town, the Sabres have won their first two preseason games and meaningless or not, they've looked pretty good in doing so twice against Columbus. The guys talk about a few things they've liked very early on from Buffalo in training camp and the preseason and go over a few things they're hoping to see as they go into the regular season soon and try to end their 14-year drought. That and much more.
