Talking Buffalo Patrick Moran

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by a returning Joe Yerdon for their weekly Tuesday chat, today focused on the Buffalo Sabre slim playoff hopes all but dead following a shootout loss to Montreal and controversy surrounding Ilya Lyubuskhin not partaking in Pride Night in addition to some Bills/NFL talk.
Lyubushkin didn’t wear the rainbow pride jersey for Monday’s warmup before their game against Montreal, citing anti-gay laws in the Kremlin and fear of retribution. Joe has plenty to say that as well as an absolutely crushing home shootout loss to the bottom feeding Canadiens.
The guys also talk about Lamar Jackson requesting a trade from that Baltimore Ravens and why Joe’s favorite team, the Detroit Lions could be a good fit. That plus a check-in on Joe’s thoughts with the Bills offseason so far and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, it’s officially the start of mock draft season and Patrick Moran is joined by Aaron Quinn (Cover 1) for the first of what will be six weekly Buffalo Bills mock draft leading up to the real thing in late April.
After a week of free agency the Bills have made a handful of moves but other than re-signing Jordan Poyer, perhaps none that would alter Brandon Beane’s strategy at the top of the draft. As a result the Bills could go several different ways with the first pick and the guys discuss several possibilities, including weighing the all-important best player vs. biggest need dilemma.
Over the course of Buffalo’s six picks the guys land on a linebacker, offensive tackle, tight end, edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and safety. Pro Football Focus doesn’t think much of our first mock, giving Patrick and Aaron a C grade. What do you think?

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran’s back in Florida (this time just visiting) and records an early morning podcast from the hotel, centered around thoughts of the free agency moves the Buffalo Bills have made so far and his three biggest Bills-related takeaways.
Buffalo’s two biggest moves to this point involve their own veterans --- re-signing Jordan Poyer and losing Tremaine Edmunds to the Chicago Bears. They’ve added an offensive guard, wide receiver and quarterback through free agency and Patrick offers plenty of thoughts on all of them as well as what he thinks Brandon Beane’s vision is for this team in 2023 and going forward.
Patrick also makes a pitch on behalf of Beane to free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
The “Live from Imperial” series will resume next week with episodes every Friday, next featuring Bills beat reporter Matt Parrino. Of course, you can catch episodes featuring Joe Yerdon every Tuesday and Aaron Quinn on Wednesdays.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Monday was an eventful day for the Buffalo Bills and the NFL as the legal tampering period that precedes free agency began. Patrick Moran is joined by Joe from Queens to discuss some of the more notable moves, including the Bills losing their start middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds to the Chicago Bears.
The Bills were hoping to find a way to retain Edmunds but that went out the window by 4:00pm Monday when reports circulated that Edmunds agreed to a four-year, $72 million deal with $50 million guaranteed with Chicago. The guys have plenty of thoughts on the situation including if he's worth that kind of money and is Brandon Beane dropped the ball by not locking Edmunds up a year or two earlier. Regardless of how you feel about Edmunds it's a hard look for a team to take a guy in the first round, develop him into a Pro Bowler and then watch him leave without a second contract.
The Bills did do some acquiring and retaining on Monday, picking up former Dallas offensive guard Connor McGovern to likely replace Roger Saffold. Buffalo also made investments in retaining special teams guys, including Sam Martin, Tyler Matekovich and Cam Lewis.
The guys also talk about some of the major moves around the league, including Jimmy G landing with Vegas, an offensive tackle cashing in with Kansas City and a pair of Bengals safeties finding new homes.
