Talking Buffalo

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly positional analysis of the Buffalo Bills, including grades from the disappointing but also a blessing in disguise loss to Philadelphia this past weekend before turning their attention towards Sunday’s last regular season home and probably the last game ever at Highmark Stadium.

The Bills played incredible on defense but couldn't sustain anything on offense that resulted in points for well over three and a half quarters. The guys go over the team like they do each week, position by position and offer thoughts on what's going right and wrong before Matt settles in on his grades.

From there, they spend time discussing the finale against the New York Jets, how they may handle it with certain starters, if the Jets have even less interest in winning this game than we think, what it may end up resulting in for the playoffs and much more.

This is the last Talking Buffalo episode of the year, so Happy New Year!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over several of his biggest takeaways after watching back the film from the Buffalo Bills final seconds 13-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles that ended any chance of Buffalo winning the AFC east for a sixth straight year, including a major debate on who’s most to blame for Buffalo losing.

After wasting a strong bell to bell defensive effort because an offense that couldn’t get out of it’s own way until the final five minutes, Buffalo scored two late touchdowns in the fourth quarter. However, Michael Badgley missing the first extra point led to head coach Sean McDermott deciding to go for two points and the win after Josh Allen scored with five seconds left, a decision surely rooted in not trusting Badgley to make the extra point to send it to overtime. The play was there to be made, Allen missed the throw (badly) and Buffalo suffered its fifth loss.

A lot of Bills fans put the loss primarily on offensive coordinator Joe Brady, including PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective on the live show here yesterday. Patrick vehemently disagrees though, especially after watching the game back and points out several instances why he thinks it’s primarily the fault of the franchise QB and reigning MVP.

The tape shows that he didn’t much help from his offensive line either and Patrick points out two guys specifically who really struggled. PS: Josh Allen has now been sacked a career-high 40 times.

The other side of the ball was incredible for Buffalo, and Patrick goes over a handful of stand outs and why it’s perhaps the Bills biggest silver lining from this game.

That plus what the Bills may do in their Highmark Stadium finale against the Jets, who they may prefer to see in the wild card round and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective not long after the Buffalo Bills missed a golden opportunity to beat the Philadelphia Eagles on a  two point play at the end of the game, losing 13-12 and officially ending their run of five straight AFC division titles.

The Bills defense did absolutely everything possible to keep Buffalo in the game on a day where the offense, for the most stunk. The defense held Jalen Hurts without a completion and just 17 total yards as a team in the second half as the offense finally caught up to erase a 13 point deficit in the fourth quarter. However, after an Allen touchdown with five seconds left and the decision to go for two, Allen badly missed on a wide open Khalil Shakir for what would've been an incredible comeback victory and keep their division title hopes alive. The guys talk about if it was the right decision to go for two and the overall play for Josh, who was----not good.

There were a few positive things to take away from the game, including Brandin Cook stepping up at wide receiver and an entire defensive unit that was mostly lights out.

The Bills will very likely end up the sixth or seventh seed going into the playoffs. The guys discuss potential scenarios and much more.

On this bonus Saturday edition of Talking Buffalo. Patrick Moran has a full preview of the Buffalo Bills upcoming showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles at Highmark Stadium on Sunday, including three keys to a Bills victory, five "bold" predictions for the game and taking a stab who he thinks will win and by what score.

The Bills have already clinched a playoff spot but there's still plenty to play for, at least potentially against Philadelphia this week. For starters, winning this game along with the home finale against the New York Jets next week guarantees Buffalo no worse than the five seed and a likely first round playoff matchup at Pittsburgh. Additionally, it at least gives Buffalo a fighting chance to still win the division going into Week 18. Patrick goes over a handful of scenarios and how he thinks head coach Sean McDermott will handle the roster over these last two games.

He also spends time discussing both teams in terms of injuries and where they seem to be at right now, including a Philadelphia team that just feels loaded on paper and is very good, but seems to still be lacking a little bit with five losses this season.

Patrick also lays out his three keys to a Bills victory, which includes a pair of uneventful defensive tackles badly needing to step up for Buffalo. From there it's five bold predictions before selecting who he thinks will win. Patrick's picked against the Bills four times this season and they're undefeated when he does so. Will he pick against them again? That and plenty more.

On this (day after) Christmas edition of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is dropping a Buffalo Bills and Sabres podbag, answering a handful of comments from fans in edition to a little Christmas talk.

Hopefully everyone had a fantastic Christmas where Santa got you what you wanted and more importantly, you enjoyed the holidays with loved ones. Patrick goes over a few the fun things that happened for him Christmas morning as well crowning someone specifically the 2025 Christmas MVP.

He also spends a few minutes going over the latest Bills and Philadelphia Eagles in advance of Sunday's showdown at Highmark Stadium, although it's hard to truly gauge an injury report that's pretty much all estimations at this point because of the holidays.

From there Patrick gets into a handful of comments from fans via The Podbag segment, including Joe Brady being the low hanging fruit, the Sabres suddenly becoming fun again and finding the Ebenezer Scrooge of Bills comments. That and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly positional analysis of the Buffalo Bills, including grades from the Cleveland game before turning their attention towards Sunday's home matchup that may---or may not end up being meaningful.

Clean and pretty are not adjectives that would describe Buffalo's performance against the three-win Browns on the road this past Sunday. What matters most of course is that Buffalo found a way to win anyway, 23-20 and keep alive their hopes of a AFC east divisional title. The guys go through the game not so much in recap style but instead positionally, talking about what they liked and didn't before Matt ultimately assigns his weekly grade for each unit.

They also spend some time talking about a Philadelphia Eagles team coming to Orchard Park this Sunday that gets two key starters back from injury and while they're not quite the juggernaut they were last year in winning the Super Bowl right now, they're still a super talented and formidable foe the Bills will need to beat if they have any divisional title aspirations going into the final week.

Also, with Christmas coming Patrick shares some personal thoughts that've long made the holiday a bittersweet one for him. That and tons more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by podcaster and blogger Chris Ostrander for plenty of Buffalo Bills and Sabres talk, including examining all of the Bills potential playoff scenarios and figuring out which one(s) they prefer the most and least.

It's shaping up to be a potential wild final two weeks not only for the Bills but for the entire AFC, as the seeding could end up playing out a number of ways. Buffalo's currently the sixth seed going into Week 17. They still have a shot to win the AFC east and host at least one home game if not more and they could realistically fall to the seventh seed. Patrick and Chris go overall the possibilities and potential opponents, figuring out who they think Buffalo matches up the best against and which games put them in most danger of being one and done.

They also go over all their biggest takeaways after having a full day to digest the Bills too close for comfort road victory in Cleveland over the Browns.

Also, the Buffalo Sabres are on absolute fire right now, running off six wins in a row to get themselves back in a playoff conversation. Of course this also comes on the heels of major organizational change and Chris has plenty to say about that and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by sports broadcaster Steve Bermel for tons of live reaction not long after the Buffalo Bills (barely) survived the hapless Cleveland Browns, 23-20 in a game marred by sloppy if not sometimes pathetic play from the Bills. Also, the Buffalo Sabres are suddenly scorching hot.

The Buffalo defense did it usually sleepwalking through the start of the game as Cleveland scored a touchdown on their first drive, but Buffalo seemingly took control with touchdowns on their first three possessions. However, they scored just three points on their last six full drives and got a few great plays from the defense--and a few lucky breaks along the way to preserve the win.  Patrick and Steve have tons of reaction from this slopfest both good and bad.

Among the biggest subjects discussed is Greg Rousseau finally carrying the defense on their back when they needed it most in addition to Matt Milano, Jordan Poyer and Tre White continuing to turn back the clock. Meanwhile on the other side of the ball, Josh Allen did some good things but also a few untimely bad throws and certainly wasn't helped by inexcusable drops from Brandin Cooks and Dawson Knox. The guys have thoughts on this and other team matters.

They also spend some time talking about the surging Buffalo Sabres, who faced off in New Jersey Sunday night for their sixth win in a row, the longest winning streak in the NHL. In doing so they're building optimism that the team can turn things around and get back into contention. That and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of the Buffalo Bills traveling to Cleveland to take on the Browns Sunday, including three keys to a Bills victory, five bold predictions for the game and a final score prediction.

The Buffalo Bills are 10-4. They're a good football team. The Cleveland Browns are 3-11. They're not a good football team. Patrick spends time discussing both teams and realizes the Browns have a good enough defense, led by the best playmaker if not player in the league to make it worrisome for a Buffalo team that's been spotty on the road all season long.

That leads to Patrick's three Buffalo keys, which includes a strong commitment to not letting the Browns shorten the game on the ground. From there it's five bold predictions and one includes getting a budding All-Pro into the end zone for a touchdown. Patrick's certainly not picking the Bills to lose the game, but does he think they'll cover the 10.5 point spread on the road? That and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly positional analysis of the Buffalo Bills, including grades for each position before turning their attention to matchup on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns the Bills will be significantly favored in yet can't take lightly.

There wasn't much abnormal about the Bills performance this past Sunday in Foxboro against the New England Patriots. They gave up at least 31 points, which of course Buffalo won seeing they're now 4-0 this season when giving up at least 31 points. Matt and Patrick talk about some of the things the Bills did as a team that for the time being anyway kept alive Buffalo's hopes of a sixth consecutive divisional title.

In terms of their weekly positional analysis it pretty much has read like it has most the season, with Buffalo excelling at quarterback, running back and tight end on the offense side with the defense yet again being a complete mixed bag. Old vets like Tre White and Matt Milano really stepped up in this game, which helped overcome other veterans like Shaq Thompson and Larry Ogunjobi having mostly lousy outings. The guys talk about it and Matt, as usual assigns a grade for each position.

They also take a look at the Browns, who have a very bad record and are pretty void of talent, but have some playmakers on defense and none so more than Myles Garrett, who can literally break the all-time NFL single season sack record this Sunday against the Bills. That and plenty more.
