Talking Buffalo

It’s a special milestone for Talking Buffalo Podcast, the 500th episode and to celebrate Patrick Moran is joined by the first two guests he’s ever had on the show, Sal Capaccio (WGR 550) and Tim Graham (The Athletic) for a conversation taped live at Imperial Pizza in South Buffalo.

After devouring wings and other goodies from one of the best places for food in all of Western New York, the guys talk about several topics including how their careers are going, podcasting, working together on a TV show, living in Florida and normalcy with their jobs again.

They also talk plenty Buffalo Bills and NFL, including Buffalo making a trade for a running back and bringing back a former safety as well as the Miami Dolphins going all-in on a big trade that landed them Bradley Chubb.

Sal and Tim also think Patrick's strange for wanting to start Christmas season right now. All that and much more. Special thanks again to Imperial Pizza for hosting! Make sure to follow Sal on Twitter @SalSports and Tim @ByTimGraham.

On the episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by writer and podcaster Joe Yerdon for their weekly chat, this time focusing on the Buffalo Bills getting the job done against Green Bay but leaving a little something to be desired as well as plenty of Buffalo Sabres talk.

The Bills are 6-1 after beating Green Bay by 10 on Sunday Night Football. The guys talk about the good, bad and ugly from the game, including an uncharacteristic bad half of football from Josh Allen, which didn’t matter at least in part because of the gutless game plan the Packers put forth, at least that’s what Patrick thinks.

Meanwhile the Sabres have won five of their first eight games and Joe has plenty of insight on the team’s early success, including transformations he sees coming from Owen Power and Jack Quinn among others.

Patrick also tries to convince Joe that Christmas season should officially start on today, November 1st this year and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran talks about the Buffalo Bills extremely up and down showing in prime time Sunday night before ultimately defeating the Green Bay Packers by two scores, 27-17.

Patrick spends time talking about the bar for Buffalo being so high right now that double digit wins sometimes don’t even feel that much like victories. He highlights several of the good things from Buffalo in this game, including the first half running game, Stefon Diggs and Matt Milano as well as some negative things, such as the Bills poor tackling and Josh Allen’s very bad second half.

He also spends a few minutes talking about how much he hates when the Bills play at night as well as some personal highlights of this podcast as it reaches 500 episodes later this week.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast it’s Casual Friday, which means Patrick Moran is joined by Aaron Quinn (Cover 1) to discuss a variety of topics, including a discussion that features the best candidates should the Buffalo Bills decide to trade for a running back before next week’s deadline.

The NFL trade deadline is next Tuesday (November 1) and Patrick is convinced that the Bills are going to give up a draft pick for a veteran running back before that. He explains why Kareem Hunt feels like such a good football fit despite understandably tremendous objections from several fans because of his past. The guys talk about whether they think it’s a good idea and go over a handful of other backs that given certain situations could be really good fits. They also preview Sunday night’s prime time matchup between Buffalo and reeling Green Bay.

They also have takes on if Bill Belicheck is truly an all-time great NFL head coach and also play their weekly Medal Stand---awarding gold, silver and bronze medals in the categories of streaming devices and Halloween candy. All that and much more!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Joe Yerdon joins host Patrick Moran for his weekly Tuesday chat on a handful of topics, including the Buffalo Bills extremely significant road victory over the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Sabres off to an entertaining brand of hockey through their first two games.

The Bills won a road game on Sunday that gives them the best record in the AFC going into their bye and puts them in the early driver’s seat for home-field advantage. It’s a matchup many think we’ll see again down the line and the guys go over several of the biggest takeaways from the game and Buffalo’s first six weeks as a whole.

The Sabres also opened up the season with a victory over Ottawa before losing a close game to Florida over the weekend. Joe has insights on some of the highs and lows of the first two games from a perspective of someone covering the team, including the fast starts from JJ Peterka and Rasmus Dahlin but also a power play that hasn’t clicked at all and what fans should expect on their upcoming four game western swing.

That plus talk about Thin Man Brewery on Elmwood Avenue and plenty more!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, it’s Casual Friday but now with a new weekly guest. Aaron Quinn from Cover 1, a recurring guest on the show debuts what’ll be a weekly episode in place of Joe Yerdon, who’s now on the podcast every Tuesday. Today Patrick and Aaron are talking mainly Buffalo Bills as well as rolling out a new regular segment.

The Bills have a huge game on Sunday in Kansas City against the Chiefs and while the players are saying the right things, this is more than just another game on the schedule. The guys talk about the significance of this year’s clash, not just the revenge from factor from last year but more importantly it quite possibly determining who’ll end up with the No. 1 seed in the AFC. They break down key points and also spend time talking other Bills topics, including James Cook and the level of seriousness the team has in Odell Beckham Jr.

They also debut what’ll be a regular segment on the podcast called “The Medal Stand”. Each week Aaron will be given three topics with three choices for each, and assigning them bronze medals for worst through gold medals for best. This week Aaron’s taking on former Bills cornerbacks we wish could be on the 2022 roster, three Rocky movies (II, III and IV) and best R&B groups of the 90s (Boyz II Men, Jodeci & Dru Hill).

All that and much more!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe Yerdon, who after more than a year of doing the podcast every Friday makes his Tuesday debut to talk about the Buffalo Bills blowout win over Pittsburgh and a preview of the Buffalo Sabres season that starts on Thursday night.

The Bills used a big play offense and dominant defense to completely dismantle the Steelers in Kenny Picket’s first NFL start at quarterback. Patrick and Joe discuss some of the bigger takeaways from the game including the impact a healthy Gabe Davis has on the offense, Khalil Shakir and James Cook looking impressive, Von Miller being as good as advertised and one area of concern the Bills may presently have on the field leading up to Sunday’s big game in Kansas City.

On the Sabres side the guys discuss Kyle Okposo being named captain, Alex Tuch not being named an alternate captain, Jack Quinn and JJ Peterka both making the opening night roster, Joe’s thoughts on the forward line pairings and his outlook for the 2022-23 season.
