On this special episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by former Buffalo Bills and current ESPN Miami Dolphins beat reporter Marcel Louis-Jacques and Bills beat reporter Matt Parrino to preview Bills vs Miami, talk sports, media and much more in a conversation recorded live at Sonny Red's in Lackawanna.

Louis-Jacques covered the Bills (wonderfully) for two seasons in 2019-20 and in the process became one of the area's most well liked reporters before leaving for ESPN to cover the Dolphins in September 2021. He's back in town to cover the Thursday night game. He joins Parrino, one of the area's most established reporters and multimedia personalities to cover components from this Week three matchup from both perspectives.

The Bills are expected to run through the Dolphins, who are 0-2 and appear to be an absolute mess both on and off the field. Buffalo is favored by 12.5 points--an astronomical number considering how early it is in the season, that it's a divisional matchup and that they'll be playing without two defensive stalwarts in Ed Oliver and Milano. But games are won on the field as opposed to paper and this is the NFL where anything can happen--the guys talk about what Buffalo and Miami need to do respectively to pull out a victory. Patrick also goes over his weekly bold predictions for the game and drags Marcel and Matt into making a few of their own.

They also spend some time talking how life's been in Miami for Marcel over the past few years, a few sports media topics and much more.
