It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the weekly episode where the audience controls the narrative and topics. Patrick Moran is responding to several takes and questions, including a fan annoyed with the all the negative talk about the Buffalo Bills who asks for---and receives a completely optimistic outlook for the team in 2024.

The Bills have been in the playoffs every year since 2019 and have won the AFC east the past four seasons, yet there's a national perception that this team is in big trouble in 2024, a school of thought that seems to be growing on a local and fan base level as well. There's several key departures from last year's team and significant-to-nagging injuries this summer piling up that has many worried. Patrick is among them but for the purpose of this exercise tells everyone why it's incredibly realistic for Buffalo to still keep their divisional reign intact and remain a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

That said, there's reasons to pump the brakes on Buffalo's 2024 expectation and several submissions refer to that, including takes on a less than desirable early impression during the preseason from rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman and an overall failure to adequately replace what departed from last year.

There's also thoughts on "Buffalo Joe" making the Bills and what may happen if he doesn't, Dawson Knox bouncing back, criticism at a Talking Buffalo regular guest and plenty more.
