    Are Brandon Beane Big Swings Aggressive Or Reckless?

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to discuss among other topics Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane taking a big swing by signing defensive edge Bradley Chubb and if his biggest moves over the past few years should be considered aggressive or reckless? When healthy, Chubb is a dynamic run defending edge with plenty of pass rushing juice. That said, he's torn both his ACLs throughout his eight year career and it continues a trend of Beane signing big named defenders with significant injury histories in his attempts to help get the Buffalo defense over the hump. The guys give their thoughts on the Chubb signing and if they think Beane did the right thing or is once again playing with fire. Also, the Bills lack of moves to this point in a mostly dried up free agent market certainly gives indication that Buffalo plans on relying on young guys like Dorian Williams, Dorian Williams and Jordan Hancock to play a lot of very meaningful snaps for the defense this season. They also talk about the Buffalo Sabres and this amazing season that continues to keep getting better. That and plenty more today. That and plenty more thoughts before Patrick travels south and catches up to whatever Bills news is missed on tomorrow’s show.

    Are We Sleeping On Josh Palmer, Plus Full Marks To Alex Tuch

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran shares thoughts on several Buffalo Bills and Sabres topics, ranging from thinking people are prematurely writing off Bills receiver Josh Palmer to giving props to Alex Tuch for how he's been able to bury contract talks and focus on playing elite hockey. Prefacing by saying this episode is being recorded the morning before a release---typically a big no-no during a busy week like the start of NFL free agency, Patrick has plenty to say about the Bills before leaving to travel. Among the topics is starting to realize that the Bills may be counting on some younger guys on defense to be factors more than fans are---a list that could include Dorian Williams, Jordan Hancock and TJ Sanders. Patrick also takes a look at what some of the receivers are getting in this year's open market and concludes that if he can stay healthy this time around, Palmer has the ability to become a nice bargain for the Bills this year as opposed to being resigned of having the same fate that Curtis Samuel just had previously. On the hockey side, the Sabres just continue to roll over teams as they emphatically march towards ending their historic 14-year playoff drought. Tuch has played a big role in that. He never received the contract he was hoping for in the last year of his deal and that could've been a distraction for him in the team. Only it hasnt----Tuch has kept the business stuff away from his game and has been magnificent for the Sabres throughout the season. That and plenty more thoughts before Patrick travels south and catches up to whatever Bills news is missed on tomorrow's show. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

    Bills Are Barely Tampering & Sabres May Never Lose Again

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss how the NFL legal tampering is coming to an end and the Buffalo Bills added very little and meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres may never lose a hockey game again. At least as of late into Tuesday night, the Bills have only added cornerback Dee Alford and backup quarterback Kyle Allen to the roster externally with a market that's quickly drying up. Sure, they've already traded for DJ Moore, re-signed Connor McGovern and worked out a deal to keep Dawson Knox and that's meaningful of sure, but Patrick's already mighty frustrated at Brandon Beane seeming to be a little too content with personnel on the defensive side of the ball, at least so far. One major name being connected to the Bills is edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. However, with the Max Crosby trade falling apart for Baltimore, Patrick thinks it's a formality that Baltimore ends up with Hendrickson, possibly even by the time you listen to this. Meanwhile, the Sabres remain an absolute wagon as they defeated San Jose in front of an excited Key Bank Center crowd, improving to a perfect 8-0 since the Olympic break. That and plenty more today!

    Bills Sign Alford, Bring Back Allen On Day One (Full Bills/NFL Reactions)

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is reacting to several of the biggest moves made around the NFL in day one of the legal tampering period in addition to a few Buffalo Bills  moves unlikely to move the needle much. Prior to Monday's start of unofficial free agency the Bills had already pulled off a trade for wide receiver DJ Moore in addition to re-signing center Connor McGovern to a lucrative extension over the weekend. Therefore, it shouldn't be surprising that the Bills didn't make any kind of real splash on Monday. They did add Atlanta slot cornerback Dee Alford to the team as well as bringing back former quarterback (and Josh Allen buddy) Kyle Allen and re-signing punter Mitch Wishnowsky. Patrick has opinions on all three moves. The Bills, as expected did lose some veterans to other teams on Monday. Patrick has thoughts on guard David Edwards going to the New Orleans Saints, Mitch Trubisky to the Tennesssee Titans and the New England Patriots poaching fullback Reggie Gilliam away, something that Patrick's admittedly bothered by. He also discusses some of the biggest moves around the league in what was a very (very) active and eventful day, including Mike Evans off to San Francisco, Tyler Linderbaum blowing up the center market and John Franklin Myers heading to Tennessee. That and plenty more. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

    Make Or Break Time For Brandon Beane Has Arrived

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss how the time is now for Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane to pull the pin on at least a handful of moments that could determine if the Bills realistically remain in the Super Bowl hunt in addition to the Sabres winning one of their most exciting games in the history of the franchise literally right before this recording. NFL free agency, or at least the "legal tampering period" starts here on Monday and the Bills certainly got a decent amount of holes to fill on the roster. A less than ideal amount of cap room coupled with a plethora of needs both with starters and depth will force Beane and his staff to be at his best starting today and over the next few months. The guys discuss some of those roster holes the Bills have to work on and what some solutions may ultimately lead to being. They also react to a trio of big Bills news items that've went on over the past handful of days leading into the start of free agency: trading for DJ Moore, cutting cornerback Taron Johnson and re-signing center Connor McGovern over the weekend. For fun, they also play a game of trying to guess the next team several of their recently released and pending free agent Bills end up with. Of course, the Sabres remain steaming hot and won what could be argued as one of the greatest games in franchise history on Sunday night. The guys talk about them and much more.

    Reaction To Big Bills Trade For DJ Moore

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a bunch of reaction both good and bad to the Buffalo Bills pulling off a big trade on Thursday, acquiring wide receiver DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears along with a fifth-rounder in exchange for their second-round pick in this year's NFL Draft. To say the immediate reaction among Bills fans, media and content creators is a mixed bag is an understatement, and Patrick thinks there's plenty to like about the move as well as a few things that certainly give him pause. First and foremost, Moore immediately becomes the Bills best pass catching option in the intermediate to long yard situations and it's not close either. He comes to Buffalo with plenty of proven success as he turns 29 years old this week including four seasons of over 1,000 yards receiving. Two of those, by the way came with Bills head coach back when Brady was offensive coordinator in Carolina in 2020-21.  Also, while Moore may not be definition a "true No. 1" receiver, Patrick thinks more of his ability than had the Bills signed Romeo Doubs or Rashid Shaheed in free agency, who felt more like extensions of Curtis Samuel and Josh Palmer types. However, this isn't a win for the Bills without some issues. Giving up a second-round pick for a guy who's had consecutive down years feels risky, not to mention the guaranteed money they're giving him that essentially makes his contract a three-year deal worth $74 million that's pretty much all guaranteed now. Also, there's at least a handful of clips out there that show Moore's effort when not being targeted has been less than stellar in the past. That plus if Patrick feels this was the right deal to make, does Beane deserve praise or heat for this move and plenty more from the reaction department.

    Sabres Are ELECTRIC, Plus Should Bills Swing For Pierce?

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Steve Bermel to talk about the Buffalo Sabres being absolutely electric on the ice that has clearly resonated with fans as well as discussing if the Buffalo Bills should take a big swing at pending free agent wide receiver Alec Pierce. The vibes were immaculate at the Key Bank Center in Buffalo the other night before the Sabres took on Vegas as Tage Thompson was honored by the organization for helping the United States win a gold medal. The crowd gave him a thunderous applause (as well as Jack Eichel) and the electricity carried over into the game, as Tage scored a goal and Buffalo would hold on to beat Vegas to win their fourth in a row since coming back from the Olympic break. The Sabres aren't slowing down and the league is noticing. More and more people are talking about the Sabres as not only a team poised to end their historic playoff drought but a team that can win multiple series in the playoffs. The guys talk about the team, the fans that have been yearning to have something to get behind again, trade rumors involving Buffalo and some prominent players around the league in advance of Friday's deadline and more. On the football side, it appears Pierce can test the open market if he chooses. The Bills certainly have limitations, at least that's the way Brandon Beane portrays it again, but in football you can always take a big swing if you really want to. Should the Bills use that on Pierce---a guy who will surely get overpaid in the open market but still fits the Bills biggest offensive need like a glove?  Also, it looks like the Bills are set to lose both David Edwards and Connor McGovern in free agency---how worried should we be about the offensive line?

    Bills Non-WR Needs & Potential Solutions

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation to discuss positional needs and potential solutions beyond wide receiver. Understandably so, the wide receiver position attracts the most attention among fans and the media. There's certainly a need to add to the position and Buffalo will, but there's plenty of room and need to add talent to several if not most other positions. The guys go through them, talk about needs are bigger than other and discuss a handful of potential pending free agents, trade candidates and draft prospects for each. Some positions, like edge rusher and safety seem pretty clear but others, such as offensive tackle and running back could be a bit more of a mystery. They also talk about what they're expecting to see from Buffalo in the coming weeks based on comments by Brandon Beane and Joe Brady. That plus the Sabres are going to make March even more fun and plenty more. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.
