On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for tons of live reaction shortly following the conclusion of the Buffalo Bills absolutely embarrassing the New York Jets at Highmark Stadium, 40-14 to lock down the two seed going into the playoffs.

The Bills went undefeated at home during the regular season for only the third time in franchise history and first since 1990, the first year the Bills went to the Super Bowl. The guys talk about a winning effort from Buffalo in every phrase of the game, including Josh Allen making what's almost certainly one final case to capture the league's MVP award.

They also discuss several players that had big impacts on the game for Buffalo--ranging from Greg Rousseau to Ed Oliver, Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman. Also Matt Milano had a few big plays in his fourth start of the season, did he do enough to gain confidence in him starting over Dorian Williams going into the playoffs?

As far as the Jets, they looked like a team that quit once the game started to get away from them, in particular Aaron Rodgers, who Patrick goes as far to call disinterested. That and plenty more.

On this bonus Saturday episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran previews the Buffalo Bills home finale coming up on Sunday against the lowly New York Jets, including three keys to a Bills victory as well as three bold predictions and a final score guess.

The Jets are a season-long disaster at 4-11 and the epitome of what happens when an organization is a mess from the top on down. Buffalo fans who follow the Sabres are very familiar with the consequence. Patrick talks about why the Jets are so bad, starting with an aging, egomaniac quarterback and an offensive line that in part due to injury is about as bad as it gets. This also isn't the same Jets defense that gave Josh Allen fits in recent years, even when the team overall wasn't great.

On the Bills side Patrick talks about how the injury report is looking and why it's so important for Matt Milano to play in these last two games, regardless of what's at stake for the team overall. Also, is this finally the week Micah Hyde gets a look? It feels like now or never for him.

From there it's the weekly three keys to a Bills victory and Patrick keeps it simple, highlighting that what's most important is not give a lifeless team life by sleepwalking at the start like Buffalo did against New England last week. Then it's bold predictions time, and Patrick is feeling an interception for a reserve defender among other things. He explains why he's got the Bills winning this game by three scores and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation to go over several of the biggest Buffalo Bills talking points after a pair of Christmas games around the AFC most definitely did not go the way the team hoped.

The presents were great, as was the food and of course spending time with loved ones. But from the perspective of the Bills things did not go well in the Kansas City vs Pittsburgh and Baltimore vs Houston matchups. As a result the Bills are officially out of the running for the one seed despite a 12-3 record and also couldn't lock up the second seed either. In terms of how those two games effected the Bills path to a Super Bowl, it was a worst case scenario--which of course doesn't mean Buffalo can't win the AFC when it's all said and done, the guys just talk about how that road will likely be significantly tougher.

As a result of Wednesday's games the Bills will have to knock off the hapless New York Jets at Highmark Stadium on Sunday to officially wrap up the second seed and surely rest their starters in the finale next week at Foxboro. The guys talk a little about the upcoming game and some of the silver linings that come from Buffalo not locking down the two seed before this Jets game, including the chance to get some of the stank from last week's performance against the Patriots off them as well a little season stat padding for those who care about that kind of thing.

Speaking of for those who care, the MVP battle between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson is definitely on full blast and the guys have plenty of thoughts on that, Kansas City yet again being a thorn to everyone's side, the Texans being toast, who may be be the seven seed and tons more.

On this Christmas eve episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is going over his biggest Buffalo Bills takeaways after watching back the film from their too-close-for-comfort 24-21 victory over the New England Patriots to improve to 12-3 on the season.

Let's be honest---the Patriots are pretty much hopeless for the time being, came into the game at just 3-11 and lack the talent to play with the better teams in the league. The expectation was the Bills would win this game with ease and as things turn out, that was anything but the case. Truth is it's hard to win in the NFL any week and good teams sometimes struggle with and even lose to bad teams. The Bills were able to narrowly escape with a victory and Patrick goes over several reasons why.

On the positive side Patrick talks about James Cook being the best player on the field for Buffalo on Sunday him coming up big yet again. Also, Dorian Williams was fantastic and Greg Rousseau made the big plays that big time edge rushers make.

Fortunately that was enough to carry them to a victory because there was a lot that went wrong. Among that discussed is Kaiir Elam and Baylon Spector's woeful days, part of a defense that is without question overly relying on turnovers to make up for a lot of deficiencies. Things weren't all that much better with the passing game on offense either--just an all around sloppy game.

Patrick also has thoughts on how Sean McDermott should and probably will handle the roster if they're locked into the second seed before taking the field next Sunday against the Jets. That and plenty more!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens shortly after the Buffalo for tons of live instant reaction following the Buffalo Bills narrowly hanging on to beat the New England Patriots, 24-21.

It was anything but pretty on a fridge Sunday at Highmark Stadium. The Bills offense didn't play well and the defense wasn't great either. However, they did force three second half turnovers including a defensive touchdown and it proved to be the difference in the game.

The guys talk about a Bills team that looked overconfident, unprepared and possibly uncomfortable in the elements. That said, a win is a win and the Bills are now 12-3 and still in the hunt for the top seed in the AFC.

Was this game an exception on what's been a brilliant Buffalo run? That's discussed and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of the Buffalo Bills taking on the New England Patriots Sunday at Highmark Stadium, including Bills biggest keys to victory as well as three bold predictions and a stab at the final score.

The Bills are looking good at 11-3 right now and having beat both Kansas City and Detroit already on the back half of their schedule. After a string of games against very tough opponents the Bills return home to play one of the worst teams in the league both in terms of their record and talent. Patrick talks about how life's good for MVP frontrunner Josh Allen and the Bills organization right now but let's also not forget the Patriots were crappy last year as well but managed to hand Buffalo a four point loss.

For New England it's all about the future with their talented rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who drew many comparisons to Allen coming into the draft. The Patriots are 3-13 and Patrick describes the details of a roster that's quite frankly, just as lousy on paper as they are in the standings. From there it's on to the biggest Bills keys to a victory and this week's pretty simple: not making this the week they decide to start turning the ball over, not letting New England get the run game going and not taking the game itself for granted, with Patrick pointing out several great teams that have already lost or nearly did to inferior competition at home.

That plus three bold predictions including a pair of them being VERY bold, a few minutes railing on the Buffalo Sabres a little more, homage to a Buffalo broadcasting legend and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective in what becomes a complete Buffalo Sabres burial in what becomes one of the most explosive episodes in the nearly seven-year history of this show.

Owner Terry Pegula went to Montreal and met with this team on Monday before Tuesday night's game, with reports circulating that Pegula showed confidence in everyone in the organization and said the solution is inside the room. The guys would love to know what the hell that solution is as they promptly went out and humiliated themselves against a bad Montreal team, looking at times like they flat out quit.

Both guys and particularly Patrick are set off by this team and have had it. Everything is unloaded on the Sabres during this chat, from uncommitted ownership to a laughingstock general manager where it's clear as day that he's in way over his head in his role. They get into details with both before the attention is turned to the players, who don't deserve to escape wrath. Patrick thinks this is a soft, gutless weak-willed core and they explore many of the reasons why.

They also talk about how the culture is ruined for both fans and content creators. That and much more heat from the guys today.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation to talk several Buffalo Bills topics, including the maturation of Josh Allen that has transformed into quite possibly the best quarterback if not overall player in the entire NFL.

Allen has always had the physical gifts that make people marvel and they've been on display for several years now, none so more than 2024. However, as fun as that is to see it's been the mental part of his game that has allowed him to elevate his play even further. The guys talk about how the excitement and chaos is still in his arsenal but it feels more controlled most the time. Josh is patient in poised both in the pocket and on the move--it never feels like he's truly rattled. That's resulted in mistakes not having a domino effect. Patrick suggests that it feels like when Tom Brady at some point of his career he'd seen everything the defense could throw at him and the game just felt easier from there.

They also talk a linebacker situation between Matt Milano and Dorian Williams that could more interesting now that Milano has suffered a groin injury, though it doesn't appear to be serious. Still, Milano's looked kind of rusty, understandably so with all the time he missed. If he needs to miss anymore time, can Sean McDermott trust him over Williams in a playoff situation?

Also, a respected content creator said that Sean McDermott is the best Bills head coach of all-time and Patrick was left shocked that someone would think it's not Marv Levy. Does Matt agree? That plus a look around the AFC and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has his biggest Buffalo Bills Week 15 takeaways on the heels of an absolutely wild 48-42 victory on the road over the Detroit Lions that has the Bills feeling really good about being 11-3 going into the final three weeks.

Unlike last week in Los Angeles where Buffalo's offense was in desperation mode trying to catch up and in the game late, Buffalo dominated on both sides of the ball early to jump out to a two touchdown lead and never looked back, despite Detroit's resiliency throughout the second half. Patrick starts by giving a lot of credit to head coach Sean McDermott and his coaching staff---it was obvious from the first snap of the game that this team came to Motown prepared to play and ready to fight. The defense showed grit in allowing Buffalo to stake an early two score lead and offensively Joe Brady had the Lions defense in guess mode throughout.

As for Josh Allen, Patrick struggles to even put in words how special this 2024 season has turned into for him. You can't find an outlet anywhere at this point that doesn't think Allen isn't the MVP of the league and Patrick takes it one step further, saying he may be the most physically gifted football player at his position in the history of the game. Removing all the stats and accolades away Patrick hammers home how important it is for Bills fans to just sit back and enjoy being able to watch someone like Josh play every Sunday, it's not something to take for granted.

Patrick also talks about a Bills defense that obviously struggled but did enough to win and more specifically, Ed Oliver having one of the best games of his entire career a week after being called out all over the place, including this podcast. Also, should Dorian Williams being getting more snaps, even if it comes at the expense of Matt Milano?

That plus Tyler Bass pisses us off again, Dawson Knox comes through bit, Kaiir Elam fills in admirably and tons more.
