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.
