    Some Late Season Concerns Creep In With Sabres

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by blogger and podcast Chris Ostrander to discuss a handful of Buffalo Sabres and Bills topics, including a few fixable but nonetheless late season issues creeping into the Sabres as they get ready to embark on a playoff run soon. Just saying the Sabres are readying to embark on a playoff run is amazing given where this team was at in early December not to mention the previous 14 seasons. They're not exactly "struggling" either as the season winds down but in the interest of staying objective, there's a handful of things going on that could be concerning. The guys discuss some, including the third line defense that seems significantly worse without Zach Metsa in the lineup, some leaky goaltending from Alex Lyon, a handful of offensive players struggling a little bit and penalty kill unit that's gotten destroyed two times in the past eight days. Also, Chris is asked which team is closer to winning a championship right now--the Sabres or Bills? Speaking of the Bills they're discussed too and Patrick explains why he's starting to very much get behind taking a wide receiver with their first round pick. That plus will Lindy Ruff stay on with the Sabres after this season and much more.

    Ranking Brandon Beane's Free Agent Classes

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics, including evaluating each of Brandon Beane's free agent classes since becoming GM of the team in 2018. While not a fan of Beane in general, Joe has confessed to liking what the Bills have done so far since free agent season began earlier this month. It got the guys wondering and then researching of  Beane's offseason classes and where this one stacks up. Also, the Bills re-signed Damar Hamlin this week and a few sarcastic tweets from Patrick set off a firestorm of criticism from the Damar truthers. Patrick responds to all of it. Meanwhile, the somewhat slumping Buffalo Sabres won a shootout game against Seattle on Saturday that even if it actually wasn't----it felt like a "must win" type of game. The guys discuss it, where it feels the team is at as we get ready for the playoffs and much more. The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

    Who On Bills Roster Could Be Trade Candidates?

    On this Saturday episode of Talking Buffalo, it's an edition of The Podbag featuring listener submitted questions and takes about the Buffalo Bills that Patrick Moran is answering, including potential trade candidates currently on the Buffalo Bills roster. It's not likely the Bills will trade anyone who's already currently on the roster, but it's certainly a possible. Patrick explains why he thinks Keon Coleman is the obvious choice, why Sedrick Van Pran Granger is lowkey a realistic choice and why if you want go with a little shock value----O'Cyrus Torrence could be a big time dark horse candidate. Also, what's the current biggest Bills strength beyond Josh Allen? Running back, tight end and offensive line rooms all remain strong but Patrick thinks the Bills secondary could potentially be the strongest part of this 2026 team. Who's Patrick's current preferred first-round pick for Buffalo? That plus Terrel Bernard will be a critical piece for the Bills, a few TV show recommendations and much more.

    A Few Bills Sharpied In Starters Come With Questions

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran discusses a pair of Buffalo Bills defensive players in Max Hairston and Terrell Bernard that appear sharpied in as starters that have plenty to prove in 2026. Terrel Bernard is a starting off ball linebacker, dictated by the contract he signed before the 2025 season and enforced by the Bills lack of additions to the room so far this offseason. The potential is certainly there, as evidenced by his breakout 2023 campaign but the past few years have been filled with injuries and pedestrian production. Can Bernard be a good fit in this new Jim Leonhard defense? Brandon Beane is banking on it. A first-round pick a year ago, Max Hairston's first season was hampered by two injuries, one that kept him from the field until almost the middle of the season and another that knocked him out of the playoffs. Last season he semi-platooned with Tre White but this time around it seems Hairston's locked in as a starter alongside Christian Benford.  What's the confidence level of Hairston taking the role and running with it? That plus a few conclusions you can make about Sean McDermott based on this offseason and plenty more. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

    Plenty Of Work Still Left For Bills Roster

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation to discuss some of the work Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills still have to do for the shaping of a roster they hope will be good enough to finally get them over the hump here in 2026. Beane entered the offseason in less than ideal cap shape but the Bills have still managed to make a handful of meaningful adds to the roster, from trading for DJ Moore to signing Bradley Chubb, CJ Gardner Johnson, Dee Alford and Geno Stone, not to mention re-signing center Connor McGovern. Matt has thoughts on what the Bills have done so far during this process. From there they spend time discussing a handful of positions that at the very least, are screaming for veteran and/or rookie draft pick help when it comes to depth. The guys go over potential solutions at positions that include defensive tackle, edge rusher, off ball linebacker, cornerback, wide receiver and possibly the offensive line. They also highlight a handful of draft prospects and positions that most intrigue them when it comes to the draft. That and plenty more.

    How The Sabres Avoided The Eastern Playoff Race Slop

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by broadcaster Steve Bermel to discuss a handful of Buffalo Sabres and Bills topics, including how the Sabres have managed to avoid a complete slop of a playoff race in the Eastern conference. While it's not mathematically locked in yet, the Sabres are going to break their historic 14-year NHL playoff drought within the next few weeks. Buffalo currently leads Tampa in the Atlantic division (though Tampa has two games in hand) and are only one point back of Carolina for most points in the conference. Regardless if the Sabres win the conference and/or division or not, one thing Sabres fans have been saved from is the anxiety of a playoff spot race. Buffalo's torrid place has them a full tier above several other teams in the conference and that's a good thing of course, because the East is just a slop with a half dozen teams within three points of being in the playoffs or out entirely. Montreal, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Boston, New York Islanders and Columbus are all stacked near each other with points, not to mention Ottawa still having a fair shot at getting in as well. The guys talk about while there's the pressure of trying to get a high seed and home ice advantage, at least they can enjoy the next few weeks without having to worry about making the playoffs. Also, is there again a good chance Alex Tuch re-ups with Buffalo after the season now? On the football side, Steve gives his thoughts on what he's seen from the Bills so far this offseason and if it's enough for him to be confident in this roster going into the NFL draft in about a month. That plus an update on the Buffalo Bandits and much more. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.

    Explaining The Josh Allen Rub

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Bills and Sabres topics, including an explanation of what the "Josh Allen Rub" is and means in addition to noticing Sabres fandom is as alive as it's been in 20 years. Most wrestling fans know what the terms "getting the rub" and "go away heat" mean. Joe recently used those wrestling terms to tie into a blog post about the Bills MVP quarterback in addition to Bills general manager Brandon Beane. Joe explains exactly what he meant by it and how the Bills have used Allen in situations to gain popularity points., The guys also talk about the Bills offseason to this point so far, with Joe arriving at that the team has done a pretty good job but many fans don't see it because they're mad at Beane. Meanwhile, Patrick is looking at a defense that is badly (very badly) lacking depth not to mention a questionable starter or two currently at the top of the team's depth chart. Also, the Sabres remain ridiculously hot and Patrick's noticed a huge trend of fans sporting Sabres game recently at bars, restaurants and basically everywhere. It's been a long time coming and wonderful to see. That plus Joe's binging The Pitt and plenty more. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

    Reaction To All Bills Offseason Moves So Far (Part 2)

    On this rare Saturday edition of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is sharing his thoughts on every addition the Buffalo Bills have made so far this offseason in addition to what he thinks may lie ahead for the organization. After yesterday's episode focused on what the Bills have lost since the end of last season, today's about what the Bills have gained and how much of an upgrade he thinks Buffalo's made at some important positions. Patrick has thoughts on the Bills surprisingly retaining Connor McGovern to keep the offensive line mostly intact, swinging a significant trade for wide receiver DJ Moore, adding defensive edge/linebacker Bradley Chubb to the defensive front seven, rolling the dice with the high risk/high reward safety in CJ Gardner Johnson, adding safety depth in Geno Stone and finding Taron Johnson's likely replacement. Also discussed are what Bills free agents are still available as of this recording and who Patrick may have an interest in seeing returning in addition to what could still be in play for Bills additions in the weeks to come, how much of an upgrade does this team feel like right now and much more.
