    Eric Wood On Josh Allen, Bills Roster & Training Camp Changes

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by former Buffalo Bills great and current team radio analyst Eric Wood for a discussion mostly about the Bills that includes training camp routines with new coaches, pressure of being Josh Allen, arduous golf adventures and more. Eric was in Buffalo this week to take part in Josh Allen's 117 hole golf challenge to benefit the Patricia Allen Fund at Children's hospital. To be clear, the 117 holes is not a typo, it's the amount of holes played in one day and incredibly, without golf carts. It's amazing Eric even has the energy to talk after completing that---what was that event like for him and his fellow golfers? Also, Erin's achieved a level of celebrity as a former Bills star and someone still very much in the public eye. He discusses that and also tries to shed a tiny bit of insight about the unworldly celebrity of people like Allen and how difficult at times it must be for people like him. The Bills will be starting camp soon. Eric has some thoughts on a few players and positions he'll be having his eyes on when the football ramps up. That plus how his training camp routines differed when there was a new head coach and much more.

    Sabres Fact Or Fiction, Plus Interesting Bills Storylines

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to discuss several Buffalo Sabres topics, fact or fiction style in addition to some key Buffalo Bills observations. Recently we did a Bills version of "Fact or Fiction" with Matt Warren of SB Nation. This time we do it with the Sabres with PK determining what will become fact or fiction based on some Sabres statements Patrick throws at him, including Alex Tuch being back, Bo Byram getting extended, Zach Benson signing a long term deal, a trade partner for Jordan Greenway and the same three Sabres goalies back for next season. On the Bills side, Patrick discusses amazement at how many key Bills veterans from last year's team are still looking for jobs this late in the offseason. What does that tell you about the 2025 Bills? Also, Keon Coleman may truly have a legit opportunity to become the type of player the organization has hoped he was going to be. That, plus the fascinating mystery of what Jim Leonhard's defense will look like, who may most thrive in it and much more.

    Fascinating Buffalo Sports Offseason Debates Happening

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over three Buffalo sports discussions/debates going on that he finds fascinating and can make a fair case for either side of the coin. Will Alex Tuch re-sign with the Sabres? That is a key, probably the key offseason storyline with the Sabres as Tuch's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st. There's plenty of reason to very much want Tuch back but also financial reasons to move on from him. Where does Patrick fall on this? Sticking with the Sabres, Patrick put up a poll involving a trade scenario for St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas and was shocked at the results. Are fans overvaluing young prospects a little too much? Moving over to the Bills, Patrick's pretty fascinated with not knowing what the new Jim Leonhard defense is going to actually look like and which Bills veteran defenders will be the best fits for it. He explains why it will actually make training camp and possibly even the preseason more must-see than normal. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

    How Improved Are The Buffalo Bills On Paper?

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several topics, including taking a look at how much better, if at all the Buffalo Bills look on paper in 2026 compared to last year. Changes came big for the Bills after another playoff run that fell short of their goal of reaching a Super Bowl. Of course, the biggest change wasn't among the players but at head coach, as Sean McDermott got fired and Joe Brady promoted. Do the guys think that's an upgrade? It sure seems on paper the Bills improved with proven additions like DJ Moore, CJ Gardner Johnson and Bradley Chubb into the fold. They are, but there's other areas of the team where saying they improved isn't so cut and dry, such as offensive line and linebacker, not to mention a fair debate at cornerback. Also, Patrick presents Joe with four former Bills and asks which one he'd most like to have if that player could be back in his prime? That plus topics Joe brings up from his Substack column and much more. Make sure to check outJoe From Queen’s Substack page for his free weekly columns.

    What A Goalie Trade Market May Look Like For The Sabres

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by podcaster and blogger Chris Ostrander to discuss a handful of Buffalo Sabres season ending topics, including taking a look at what a potential goaltender trade market should look like should Jarmo Kekäläinen decide to try and swing a deal. Obviously this was a breakthrough season for the Sabres and the team looks poised to have a sustainable run at the Eastern conference in the coming years. However, the most uncertain aspect of the team arguably is goaltender despite having three guys all under contracts for next year: UPL, Alex Lyon and Colton Ellis in addition to Devon Levi in Rochester. Chris takes a look at a handful of goalies around the league at least worth discussing in some capacity for trades should their respective teams find a Buffalo package that would make it worth moving on from. They also discuss the Alex Tuch conundrum. Despite the woeful performance against Montreal Tuch's still a valued commodity and the Sabres will and should want him back. But at what price? Chris has thoughts on what he thinks Buffalo should do and where they should set the hard line at. The guys also discuss bonus bright spots that emerged from the Buffalo playoff run that were at least somewhat unexpected with Noah Ostlund and Konsta Helenius.  That plus what current Sabres could carry some value in the trade market and much more.

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation and among the topics is a game of Buffalo Bills fact or fiction---where Patrick reads off a bunch of Bills related statements and Matt explains if he thinks what Patrick's saying is fact or fiction. Keon Coleman will have a significant impact on the Bills offense.  DJ Moore will have at least 140 targets this season and speaking of, this is Dion Dawkins' last season with the Bills. James Cook will be top five in the league in rushing this year again last year after leading the league last season. This is the year Greg Rousseau finally breaks through with double digit sacks. Michael Hoecht will be active for the Bills in Week One. The Bills will win at least three of their first four games to start the season These are just some of the statements and predictions Matt's tasked with deciphering if they're fact or fiction.

    Good, Bad & Ugly Of The Sabres Playoff Run

    On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over plenty of the good, bad and ugly from the Buffalo Sabres crushing game seven loss to Montreal, the series as a whole and entire Buffalo playoff run. Despite the heartbreaking loss that leaves Buffalo fans wondering if they could've went on to beat Carolina and get to the Stanley Cup, there's plenty of positives to take away. Patrick highlights how the Montreal series and entire playoffs felt like a coming out party for emerging stars like Zach Benson, Josh Doan and Owen Power. Also, Rasmus Dahlin showed why he's a Norris Trophy finalist. On the other side, you can't help but be convinced the Sabres probably win the Montreal series easily if they got more from Tage Thompson and literally anything from Alex Tuch. Plus, why did the Sabres struggle so bad at home against Montreal and Boston? That plus keeping the Sabres season in perspective, expectations grow for the future now and much more.
