Talking Buffalo

On this milestone 400th episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined inside his home studio in West Seneca by friend and regular guest, sports media personality Joe Yerdon for a discussion focused around an exciting time for the Buffalo Sabres, Christmas, an overreacting New England Patriots fan and more.

A fixture on the podcast especially over the past year, Joe chats about Patrick’s world-famous shredded chicken, Christmas season and vinyl records before diving into some Sabres talk. With Covid yet again rearing it’s ugly head the Sabres have called up three exciting prospects to make their Sabres debut on Wednesday night, including J.J. Peterka and Peyton Krebs. That plus the debut of Alex Tuch has given fans legitimate reason for optimism and excitement. Joe discusses what he thinks the role of the new players will be as well as how long he expects them up for.

Also, a New England Patriots fan called into a Boston radio show after the Bills trounced them on Sunday and thinks the world of Josh Allen and not so much his own quarterback, Mac Jones. The guys have a good laugh at a frustrated Patriots fan expense—that and much more.

Thank you so much for continuing to listen and helping this podcast get to 400 episodes!

On this extremely rare solo episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran discusses his five biggest takeaways coming off the Buffalo Bills win over Carolina on Sunday, lists some players whose stock is up (and down), looks ahead to the huge New England game this weekend and has some takes on topics around the league.

The Bills were in control for almost the entirety of their win last Sunday against the Panthers. Patrick hits on several big picture topics from that, including Gabe Davis’ emergence as this team’s second-best receiver, the value of Dion Dawkins with him being out of the lineup, Cam Newton being a garbage quarterback and Josh Allen playing at an extremely high level despite barely competent O-line play.

He also discusses why he thinks its stock up for Boogie Basham, Efe Obada and Harrison Phillips among others while the opposite for Spencer Brown, Tommy Sweeney and a few others.

He also lays out some keys to beating New England in the rematch this weekend, weighs in on some hot takes around the league and talks about his recent trip to Florida. All that and more.

It’s Casual Friday on Talking Buffalo Podcast, which means Patrick Moran is joined by Noted Hockey author, sports media personality and friend Joe Yerdon to discuss a variety of topics, including Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen giving the Buffalo Sabres a big lift in net, should Josh Allen play for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday even if he's not healthy and a “Starting Five” draft of Best Christmas Movies.

As of this episode taping, UPL has started four consecutive games for the Sabres and played well in all of them. Joe discusses if he should stick around and keep playing or soon to return to Rochester. He also has thoughts on Rasmus Dahlin’s topsy-turvy season.

The guys also talk about the Bills being in a series of must-win games over the last month, Josh Allen’s foot injury and if he should play if he's not 100% against heavy underdog Carolina and Brandon Beane doing a lousy job building the Bills inside the trenches. 

They also do their weekly draft, this time of Best Christmas songs, Joe's new podcast alongside Lance Lysowski and tons more.

On this bonus Wednesday episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics as well as Joe’s upcoming wedding in just a few days.

Joe’s really annoyed with people defending the Bills defense and basically giving them a pass for playing like crap for an entire half in Tampa last Sunday. He talks about that, too many touted veterans and youngsters underachieving and Josh Allen playing like a warrior in Florida.

They also talk discuss the lack of impact plays from Jerry Hughes and Tremaine Edmunds, Brandon Beane avoiding criticism that’s deserved right now, Pat’s confidence that Bills will win the AFC East (Joe’s far less confident), Joe’s final days as a non-married person, Pat’s horrible marriage advice and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by Steve Mathes, co-host of the Air Raid Hour on Cover 1 to discuss immediate and long-term topics with the Buffalo Bills on the heels of last Sunday’s overtime loss at Tampa Bay.

The guys discuss Josh Allen’s guts, Sean McDermott’s lack of them lately, Tremaine Edmunds becoming flat-out overrated, a defense that remains suspectable to long touchdown runs and Brandon Beane deserving a little bit of heat for personnel decisions that’ve contributed to the Bills digging a hole for themselves.

They also discuss how they feel the Bills stand going into the final four weeks of the regular season, what needs to happen for it to turn out well and plenty more good stuff with Steve.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Joe From Queens to discuss an incredibly frustrating Buffalo Bills loss to New England and look towards what can change going forward, if anything in Buffalo’s favor.

As has often been the case this season, the Bills were the physically inferior team in another loss. The guys discuss and sometimes argue how much blame Josh Allen deserves for this loss, if there’s discontent between Sean McDermott and Brian Daboll, are the Bills wide receivers underperforming, can the offense get any better with their running game limitations and what needs to happen for the Bills to end up in the playoffs---something that’s no longer a certainty.

They also have takes on sports journalist Jerry Sullivan’s line of questioning following the game that’s become a national sports talking point and much more.

It’s Casual Friday on Talking Buffalo Podcast, which means Patrick Moran is joined by Noted Hockey author, sports media personality and friend Joe Yerdon to discuss a variety of topics, including the goaltending issues plaguing the Buffalo Sabres, looking ahead to a hugely important Buffalo Bills game next Monday night, a “Starting Five’ draft of Best Christmas songs and much more.

The Sabres have suffered from poor goaltending and it’s part of the reason the Sabres continue to sink in the standings. Joe discusses that as well as Tage Thompson’s continuing emergence, excitement around Owen Power and the return of Casey Mittelstadt.

The guys also preview next Monday’s big clash between the Bills and New England Patriots with first place on the line and why Patrick thinks at least for this game, the Bills are in better shape going into Monday than they were going into New Orleans on Thanksgiving, even without Tre White.

They also have a discussion about a few bars on Elmwood avenue, a five-round draft of Christmas song favorites and plenty more!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Aaron Quinn from Cover 1 to talk all things Buffalo Bills as well as discuss some Christmas movies Patrick recently seen for the first time on Aaron’s recommendation.

As the Bills head down the stretch of their regular season that begins with a huge Monday night matchup next week against division rival New England, the guys discuss the impact of Tre White’s season-ending ACL injury and examine if Bills general manager Brandon Beane deserves criticism for standing pat at the trade deadline and perhaps even being a little overconfident in the depth of his roster. They also discuss Dawson Knox’s breakout season and Isiah McKenzie being benched.

They also each pick a sleeper AFC team to watch for, a historic anniversary for the late Michael Jackson and with it being Christmas season, Patrick’s getting in the spirit by watching movies seemingly everyone except him has already seen.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast Patrick Moran is joined by Noted Hockey author, sports media personality and friend Joe Yerdon for this special Casual Wednesday episode to discuss a variety of topics, including the Buffalo Bills finding themselves in a dog fight in the AFC, Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson playing to his potential, “Starting Five” draft of the best female vocalists of the past 40 years, Black Friday shopping and much more.

The Bills were embarrassed on their home turf against Indianapolis this past Sunday and the guys still have plenty of reaction from that, including thoughts on the New England Patriots emerging as potential AFC eastern division favorites and who both guys think will end up in the Super Bowl from the conference as of today. They also talk about the lack of vaccinated players in Buffalo becoming a competitive disadvantage.

The Sabres are predictably losing games and rapidly slipping down the NHL standings but the guys focus on three Sabres who’ve showed a lot of promise of late: Thompson, Dylan Cozens and Rasmus Dahlin.

The guys also struggle with who to select in leave off in a very difficult “Starting Five” draft category this week, both hate the concept of Black Friday and much more. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
