Talking Buffalo

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran shares several of his biggest takeaways after watching back the film and pouring over stats from the Buffalo Bills come from behind victory this past Sunday on the road against the New England Patriots and thinks the Bills are the NFL's new kardiac kids.

Back in the early 80's the Cleveland Browns were regarded as the Kardiac Kids because of their ability to come from behind and win improbable games late. The Bills fell down by three touchdowns in Foxboro against a team that had won 10 in a row and was on the verge of clinching the AFC East. Not so fast, of course---as Buffalo erased the deficit and went on to win. In fact, the Bills are now 4-0 this season when they give up at least 31 points.

Patrick has several thoughts on the game, including the old guard on defense really carrying them this past Sunday. Tre White had an interception and carried the second-highest PFF grade of his career in this game, while Matt Milano had a pair of sacks. Both very much looked like the former All Pro versions of themselves on this day.

Of course, Josh Allen and James Cook led the way on offense but it's been the tight ends that have consistently carried the passing game.

That plus the good and bad of Sean McDermott and tons more.

On this emergipod edition of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by hockey writer and sports media personality Joe Yerdon to discuss the Monday Buffalo Sabres bombshell that'd been rumored for days----the firing of general manager Kevyn Adams and appointment of Jarmo Kekalainen to take his position.

After five and a half largely unsuccessful seasons as general manager, Adams is officially out. With him at the helm Buffalo went 178-196-42 and never finished higher than 20th in the league standings as the Sabres historic playoff drought reached 14 and in high danger of being 15 this season. Rather than wait for the season to play out Terry Pegula is finally making the change now, going to someone with vast more experience entering the position in Kekalainen than Adams had (aka none) when Adams took the job back in 2020.  Jarmo spent parts of 12 seasons as the general manager in Columbus before being fired in 2024 and moving into the Sabres department under a senior advisory role in May of this year.

Joe has plenty and we mean plenty to say about both the departure of Adams and the promotion of Kakalainein, including on if it's a move he agrees with, the timing of it, an evaluation of Adams' job both on and off the ice over the past five years, what he expects from Kekalainen going forward, what it may mean for head coach Lindy Ruff and boatloads more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for live reaction following the Buffalo Bills offense going nuclear in the second half and the defense doing just enough to beat the New England Patriots, 35-31 and keep their AFC east hopes alive.

With the season Matt Stafford's having with Los Angeles and their record, it's probably too late for Josh Allen to rally and win a second consecutive MVP. But boy is he building up a case late in the season for the repeat. After a sluggish start the Bills scored a touchdown on five consecutive drives and Allen as usual was the catalyst. The fact the Bills are clicking on offense without much of anything from the wide receivers outside of Khalil Shakir is incredible. The guys try to make sense of it all.

Speaking of not making much sense, how about the Bills defense? After getting absolutely gashed for 287 yards and 24 points in the the first half alone, the defense bit back hard in the second half. They gave up a frustrating 65 yard touchdown run to Treyveon Henderson but aside from that gave up a total of just 15 yards on New England's other four possessions, including an interception by Tre White. Again, the guys try to make sense of that.

Sean McDermott was awful in the first half but to his credit, his team clearly never felt like the game was over and played like it in the second half. The guys talk about that, if they have a different feeling about the Bills going forward and tons more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of a big AFC east clash this Sunday when the Buffalo Bills travel to Foxboro for a rematch with the New England Patriots, complete with three keys to a Bills victory, five bold predictions for the game and taking a stab at the final score.

The Patriots are 11-2 on the season, including a Week five win in Buffalo. Their 10 game winning streak has them on the verge of winning the AFC east. In fact, beating Buffalo on Sunday will clinch the division and end Buffalo's five year run as champs. Patrick spends time talking about New England and what he's liked from them most along with why he's not quite convinced they're as good as their record says they are.

He also talks about a Bills team that feels like it's turning the corner a little bit on defense, with two aging veterans now in the defense that've had a steadying presence not just for the unit but others specifically.

From there it's Patrick's three biggest keys to a Bills win on Sunday, including it being time for a wide receiver(s) to have a meaningful game. Plus, five bold predictions that include something the Bills defense hasn't done in their past five games, why Patrick can't pick against the Bills even though Buffalo's undefeated when he does and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Bills and other topics, including the time being now for the Bills in multiple ways.

For the immediate future, the time is literally now for the Bills to keep their AFC east division title hopes alive as they travel to Foxboro on Sunday to face the New England Patriots. The Bills realistically need to win out starting this week and have New England lose to either the New York Jets or Miami over the past two weeks to win their sixth consecutive divisional crown. Whether that happens or not the Bills still have a golden opportunity to win the AFC and get to a Super Bowl, and the guys discuss why there should be immense pressure for them to get it done in a year where Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow are all down and possibly out.

The guys also talk about a non-Josh Allen reason why they think the Bills can run the table come January as well as what their biggest concerns are with this team going forward. They also discuss what major ramifications, if any may come their way if they fall on another year of Josh Allen's prime.

They also weigh in on a contested debate over whether Greg Rousseau is worth the considerable contract extension he signed off season.

Also, the Buffalo Sabres a complete tire fire and Patrick hates them. Is him openly rooting for them to lose going too far? That plus a review of the James Cook cookie, Joe's Mt. Flushmore 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 huge matchup in Foxboro against the New England Patriots coming up on Sunday.

The Bills not only took a big step towards ensuring them a playoff spot after beating the Bengals on Sunday but also kept slim hopes alive for winning the AFC east. The guys, as they usually do go through each position for a discussion on what liked and didn't like from last Sunday before Matt hands out his grades for each.

Tight end has been a position of strength and good grades almost all season long and spoiler alert---it continues here.

Christian Benford had a sensational game but how much did the play of his teammates effect the overall grade of the cornerback room?

Also, the Patriots are coming off their bye and can officially end the Bills five year AFC east run with a home victory on Sunday. The guys take a look at them, how they think Buffalo matches up, what needs to change from their first meeting in Week five and much more!

On this milestone 1,200th episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to go over seven of their biggest takeaways on the hells of the Buffalo Bills picking up a big victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Orchard Park to improve to 9-4 and tremendously increase the probability of making the post season.

Josh Allen played at the level vs the Bengals that made him last year's MVP. While winning the award for a second consecutive is almost surely off the table because of Matt Stafford, the guys talk about how Allen was the best player on the field in a game with a handful of elite players. They go over a few of those plays that should give any Bills fan confidence this is a team that can beat anyone if Allen's playing like he did this past week.

Christian Benford putting together an All-Pro worthy second half of the season, the tight end position continuing to quietly dominate opponents, Sean McDermott being aggressive when he knew he couldn't afford not too, the nickel/dime defenders in the Bills secondary having a terrible outing and emerging concern about star running back James Cook suddenly developing a fumbling problem are also discussed at length.

That plus how a few outstanding individual plays helped mask a poor overall defensive showing, what PK has been up to and plenty more! You can follow PK on Twitter @PK_BSC and check out the Buffalo Sports Collective podcast.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens not long after the Buffalo Bills needed and got a MVP performance from reigning MVP Josh Allen in a thrilling 39-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

It was a game that was not easy on the heart rate for fans of either team. At the end of the day Buffalo got the plays they needed both from Josh and consecutive huge plays from the defense to win to improve to 9-4 on the season, go a long (long) way towards securing a playoff spot and keep their hopes alive in the AFC east.

Patrick and Joe talk about Josh going 22-28 for 253 yards and 3 touchdowns and added 78 yards on the ground, including a career-long 40 yard touchdown run and a scramble on third and long to put the game away.

Meanwhile the defense mostly stunk. However, Christian Benford made an incredible athletic play that completely swung the game in Buffalo's favor and AJ Epenesa picked off a  DaQuan Jones deflection for an interception on the very next play.

There's so much to to get to and what it means covered today. That plus why there's been no show for the past few days and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly Buffalo Bills positional analysis and grades on the heels of last week's impressive 26-7 victory in Pittsburgh before turning a quick eye to what will be an exciting matchup this Sunday afternoon against the Cincinnati Bengals.

It wasn't exciting if you're into Josh Allen slinging the ball around but the Bills handled the Steelers on their home field in impressive fashion, led by a running game that simply imposed their will all over a helpless Pittsburgh defense. While it's obvious the Bills running backs and offensive line are going to grade (very) high, who else does Matt have his highest marks set on? Conversely, who will Matt have the most criticism for? Being negative is certainly hard to come by as this was arguably Buffalo's best road game of the season, especially given the injuries.

Also, the Bengals are coming to Orchard Park on Sunday afternoon a dangerous and desperate team. They're 4-8 on the season and need to win out to have a chance to make the post season, so this is essentially a playoff game for them. While their record stinks Joey Burrow is back and he doesn't. The Bengals are 8-0 in high last eight starts so the Bills will be severely tested.

Also discussed is another Bills injury, this time to Joey Bosa is going to thin out an already thinned out position. That plus Patrick may retire from in-game opinion tweets and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is going over many of his biggest Buffalo Bills takeaways after watching back the film and going over stats from the Bills impressive road victory in Pittsburgh over the Steelers, 26-7 both from the game itself and going forward into this stretch run of the regular season.

The Bills were down four offensive starers including both tackles but it didn't stop the offense from racking up 249 rushing yards on the ground against a pretty decent defense. Patrick talks about prematurely bashing Joe Brady on social media early in the game before smartening up to exactly what the Bills were doing and why. Sometimes simple is better when the other team can't stop it and Brady's intelligence didn't come in fooling Pittsburgh but simply by not allowing himself to get to cute. It certainly won't work every week and hopefully Brady keeps it matchup specific but he implemented the right plan at the time against the right opponent for sure.

Patrick also talks about why he thinks the Bills defense is straight up better when Shaq Thompson is the middle linebacker. The Bills playing respectable defense is becoming normal of late and Patrick thinks Thompson's part of the reason why.

Also discussed is the Bills being able to take Pittsburgh star players almost completely out of the game. That plus what would make Patrick furious if he were a Steelers fan, the AFC looking like anyone's for the taking now more than ever and tons more.
