  • Buffalo Sabres Training Camp Preview (Featuring Mike Harrington)

    Buffalo Sabres Training Camp Preview (Featuring Mike Harrington)
    2024/09/19
    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by longtime Buffalo News reporter and columnist Mike Harrington for an extensive Buffalo Sabres training camp preview. Training camp always seems to come quietly because the Buffalo Bills are a few games into their season, but camp for the Sabres this time around is the start of what will be a critical season as the hockey club tries to end it's NHL all-time record playoff drought at 13 years. Mike has plenty of thoughts on if general manager Kevyn Adams' job hangs in the balance of making the postseason, painting a potential picture where the Sabres could miss and he still kept his job. As for camp, there doesn't appear to be a lot of roster spots that aren't already locked in but that doesn't mean it will lack for storylines. Mike has takes on if he thinks Jason Zucker or Zach Benson will get first crack to skate with Dylan Cozens and Jack Quinn, is Jiri Kulich a legitimate candidate to crack the roster, how the bottom six is taking shape including newly re-signed Peyton Krebs, which makes Mike wonder if Krebs could become part of a trade. They also spend time talking about the goaltenders, if last season was the real version of UPL and how the No. 2 spot may play out between Devon Levi and James Reimer. That plus what Mike anticipates being different at camp now that Lindy Ruff is running things instead of Don Granato, what Buffalo needs to do to make the arena feel alive for home games again, the chances he thinks Buffalo makes the playoffs and tons more.

  • What Buffalo Bills Sample Sizes Are Most Sustainable?

    What Buffalo Bills Sample Sizes Are Most Sustainable?
    2024/09/18
    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation's Matt Warren to discuss several Buffalo Bills and NFL topics, including what Buffalo sample size metrics so far this season feel the most sustainable. The Bills have begun the season with wins over Arizona and divisional rival Miami and have looked good doing it. However, how much of their early sample size is sustainable? Patrick gives Matt several scenarios and asks him to score them on a sustainability level from 1-10, including Von Miller on pace for double digit sacks, Josh Allen having fewer than 10 interceptions, James Cook having over 1,250 yards rushing and no pass catcher finishing the season with 75 catches or 850 receiving yards. It's a fun exercise with a few surprising answers. Matt also has thoughts on who he's most and least impressed with around the NFL through the first two weeks as well as what's most surprised by. That and much more.

  • James Cook Trending Towards Next Buffalo Bills Superstar

    James Cook Trending Towards Next Buffalo Bills Superstar
    2024/09/17
    It’s another edition of The Podbag today on Talking Buffalo, the episode where the audience controls the narrative and topics. Patrick Moran's responding to several takes and questions, including James Cook looking like he's taking another step towards truly becoming a star player for the Buffalo Bills through their first two games. The statistics don't blow you away even with his three touchdown performance in Miami, but Cook's running style and ability (so far) to be a reliable pass catcher out of the backfield if giving off some serious Le'Veon Bell vibes. Bell was once widely regarded as the best running back in football from 2014-17 with his distinct running style and all-around ability. Patrick talks about what's looked different this year than last from Cook, even with Cook having an impressive statistical 2023 campaign. Patrick also responds to questions about takes regarding where the Bills look to be stacking up right now compared to the rest of the league based on a small sample size, what his confidence level is in Braylon Spector replacing Terrell Bernard for the time being, how he's feeling going into the Week three matchup against Jacksonville and being unafraid to admit when he's dead wrong about predictions. There's also a few Sabres topics revolving around training camp opening this week, including being asked what he thinks the chances are Sabres first-round draft pick Konstas Helenius makes the team out of camp in addition the effect he expects Lindy Ruff to have on the team and much more. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s Substack Twitter: @PatrickMoranTB Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Bills Coach Sean McDermott Is Shining Early

    Bills Coach Sean McDermott Is Shining Early
    2024/09/16
    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to discuss several Buffalo Bills (and Sabres) topics, including the outstanding job Bills head coach Sean McDermott is again doing early in the season. Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel gets a lot of hype but the guys talk about how once again it was McDermott coaching circles around him last week in a lopsided Buffalo road win to improve to 2-0 on the season. Patrick considers it his single-biggest takeaway from the game adn PK has plenty to say about the team buying into everything Sean's doing and saying. Also, the Bills offense doesn't necessarily feel like it's been very effective but early season metrics suggest otherwise. The guys have a discussion about getting used to what's clearly a different Bills offense than we've seen in recent years. Additionally, Sabres training camp starts later this week with veterans reporting. What is PK most eager to see unfold during camp and the preseason and what's his overall level of excitement? That plus a look around the NFL from Week two Sunday, should Tua retire and much more. You can follow PK on Twitter @PK_BSC and check out the Buffalo Sports Collective podcast. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s Substack Twitter: @PatrickMoranTB Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Buffalo Bills Week Two Takeaways & Unsung Heroes (Bonus Pod)

    Buffalo Bills Week Two Takeaways & Unsung Heroes (Bonus Pod)
    2024/09/14
    On this bonus Saturday edition of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran shares some of his biggest Buffalo Bills takeaways from their thrashing of Miami on Thursday night, including some points he missed in the instant reactions postgame shows and a few observations after watching the film, including pointing out a few unsung heroes. As Patrick explains, one of his favorite things to do and reasons why he watches the All-22 film isn't to educate you about alignments, gaps, route trees and other football terminology---he's not smart enough for that anyway. What he does however is learn who some of the unsung heroes are on the biggest plays of the game and/or the culprits when plays don't well--and relay that information to you. Patrick picks out three plays from this game and explains who played key roles, including James Cook's 49 yard touchdown, Ja'Marcus Ingram's pick six and Ty Johnson's 33 yard reception against the league's highest paid cornerback. Patrick also has very high praise for the job Sean McDermott is doing with the Bills in addition to some love for Ingram, some care for Tua, why he wouldn't resist recording this episode at 1:40am to drop on a Saturday where the audience is much smaller and much more. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s Substack Twitter: @PatrickMoranTB Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Instant Reactions From The Bills Smackdown of Miami

    Instant Reactions From The Bills Smackdown of Miami
    2024/09/13
    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens with instant reactions just minutes following the Buffalo Bills taking the Miami Dolphins to the woodshed in their own stadium, 31-10 Thursday night at Hard Rock Stadium. Even with Terrell Bernard lost to a potential major injury earlier to add to the already walking wounded defense, Bobby Babich's defense absolutely dominated Miami and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who tossed three interceptions including a pick six to Ja'Marcus Ingram before leaving the game with a concussion after being hit by Damar Hamlin late in the third quarter. The guys happily eat some crow, talk about the Buffalo dominant defense and how the offense didn't even really matter. Also, is Miami fraudulent and in particular their head coach, Mike McDaniel. That and plenty more as Buffalo goes on the road to smack a division rival and move to 2-0 on the season. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s Substack Twitter: @PatrickMoranTB Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Bills vs Dolphins Preview & Bold Predictions

    Bills vs Dolphins Preview & Bold Predictions
    2024/09/12
    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of tonight's Week two clash between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins in addition to a bunch of bold predictions for the game. Both Buffalo and Miami survived opening week scares at home to win their first games as we head into what's already a potentially pivotal matchup just two weeks into the season. Patrick breaks down where both teams are at heading into the game, including some injuries to each squad that could have an impact on this game and beyond. Of course for Buffalo, the Bills dominance of Miami in recent years has been led by the absurdly elite play of Josh Allen, who's won AFC Offensive Player of the Week a mind blowing five times in 12 career regular season games against the Dolphins. Should we be prepared for more of the same and will his injured finger(s) be a problem at Hard Rock Stadium? Patrick spends plenty of time going over their keys to the game for Buffalo, biggest concerns within the Bills and ultimately a host of bold predictions as well as picks/scores for the game itself from each. That and plenty more. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s Substack Twitter: @PatrickMoranTB Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.

    2024/09/11
    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation Associate Director Matt Warren to discuss some final takeaways from the Buffalo Bills opening week victory before quickly turning the page to look ahead to Thursday night's important early season AFC east showdown at the Miami Dolphins. Happy to say here that Matt will be a recurring guest on Talking Buffalo throughout this season and he debuts today with some of things he's most and least excited about with the Bills on the heels of their victory over Arizona to start the season 1-0. The play of Josh Allen and Greg Rousseau is obvious, but what else is Matt happy about? Conversely, there's players and areas of concern about this team in need of discussion and Matt lays out some of them as well. Then the focus gets shifted to Miami, where the pair of 1-0 teams will clash in prime time on Thursday. The Bills have utterly owned the Dolphins during the Josh Allen era, going 10-2 with Josh winning AFC Offensive Player of the Week a mind blowing five times against Miami alone through his career. What are some things that need to happen for Allen and Buffalo's dominance to continue.? The guys take a look at the strengths and weakness of Miami and start to piece together a preview. That plus Matt has some thoughts from ongoings around the league, some talk about Buffalo Rumblings and much more. You can follow Matt on Twitter @MattRichWarren and be sure to check out Buffalo Rumblings for your (really good) daily Bills content. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast Substack: Patrick Moran’s Substack Twitter: @PatrickMoranTB Facebook: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube: Talking Buffalo Podcast YouTube Channel Learn more about your ad choices.
