    The Buffalo Bills are ready to kick off the 2026 NFL season, and Patrick Moran is putting 10 bold predictions on the table before the games begin. On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick forecasts what could be ahead for Josh Allen, James Cook, Terrel Bernard, Cole Bishop and several other key Bills players. Could Allen produce the best statistical season of his career? Can Cook lead the entire NFL in yards per carry? And could Bishop emerge as the best player on Buffalo's defense? Patrick also discusses why Ray Davis could surpass Ty Johnson in the running back pecking order, why Buffalo's second-round cornerback could eventually take over the CB2 job and why there are reasons to expect some serious growing pains from the Bills defense under Jim Leonhard. Not every prediction is optimistic. Patrick explains his concerns about Tyler Bass and why veteran kicker Matt Prater could find himself back in Buffalo before the season is over.

    Bills 2026 Season Predictions & Superlatives

    The 2026 NFL season is finally here, and on this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for one of their favorite annual traditions: Buffalo Bills season predictions and superlatives. Patrick and Joe work their way through a huge collection of Bills-related questions, making their official calls on everything from Josh Allen’s passing production and James Cook’s rushing numbers to DJ Moore’s impact, Dalton Kincaid’s potential breakout and whether Keon Coleman can take a meaningful step forward. The guys debate whether Buffalo's offense will become more aggressive through the air under Joe Brady, including whether Allen gets back over 4,000 passing yards and accounts for at least 40 total touchdowns. They also discuss expectations for Khalil Shakir, Ray Davis, Dawson Knox and several other offensive weapons. On defense, there’s plenty of discussion about what could change with Jim Leonhard running the unit. Patrick and Joe debate whether Greg Rousseau can finally become a double-digit sack player, what Bradley Chubb can bring to Buffalo's pass rush and whether the Bills will generate more pressure by playing a more aggressive defensive style. There’s also plenty of conversation about Buffalo's young players and newcomers, including Maxwell Hairston, TJ Parker, Jackson Hawes and other potential breakout or surprise contributors. Eventually the predictions turn toward the biggest question of all: Is this finally the year the Buffalo Bills get back to the Super Bowl? Patrick is buying in. He believes Josh Allen, DJ Moore and a more aggressive Buffalo defense can finally help the Bills break through the AFC and predicts a Bills-Rams Super Bowl. Joe isn't quite as optimistic, predicting Buffalo once again reaches the AFC Championship Game but falls short, with Denver advancing to face the Rams instead. The episode wraps with individual Bills superlatives, including predictions for Rookie of the Year, Offensive MVP, Defensive MVP, biggest breakout player, biggest surprise and potential disappointments. Patrick backs James Cook as Buffalo's top offensive player outside of Allen, while Joe goes with DJ Moore. Key TakeawaysExpect a more aggressive Bills passing attack. Both Patrick and Joe predict Josh Allen will surpass 4,000 passing yards, while DJ Moore is expected to immediately become a major piece of Buffalo's offense.James Cook may run less but remain incredibly valuable. Neither expects Cook to repeat his league-leading 1,621 rushing yards, but Patrick believes increased involvement in the passing game could make Cook Buffalo's offensive MVP outside of Allen.Keon Coleman remains one of Buffalo's biggest question marks. Both are skeptical that Coleman reaches 650 receiving yards, with Patrick emphasizing that Coleman needs to make important plays when opportunities come rather than simply accumulate statistics.Buffalo's defense could look much different. Jim Leonhard's more aggressive approach could produce additional sacks and pressure, although Patrick and Joe disagree on whether Greg Rousseau finally reaches double-digit sacks.Patrick believes Buffalo finally breaks through. His official prediction is the Bills reaching the Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams, while Joe predicts another painful AFC Championship Game exit and a Denver-Rams Super Bowl.Players & Topics DiscussedJosh Allen, James Cook, DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, Ray Davis, Jackson Hawes, Greg Rousseau, Bradley Chubb, Ed Oliver, Terrel Bernard, Maxwell Hairston, TJ Parker, Jim Leonhard, Joe Brady, Sean McDermott and more. The guys also discuss the early criticism surrounding the new Bills stadium, including the playing surface and other offseason PR issues, Sean McDermott's comments about rooting for Buffalo to win the Super Bowl, Joe's growing Joe From Queens website/Substack, and what winning a championship would actually mean to lifelong Bills fans.

    Will Groot Finally Hit Double Digit Sacks? (The Podbag)

    Football is almost back, and on this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran turns the show over to the audience for a Buffalo Bills-themed Podbag, responding to questions, comments and takes submitted by listeners on YouTube and social media. With Week 1 against the Houston Texans approaching, Patrick starts with some growing concern surrounding Khalil Shakir’s injury and what his continued absence from practice could mean for the Bills offense. He also discusses Jordan Hancock’s status and potential contingency plans if Buffalo enters the opener short-handed. From there, Patrick dives into several listener-driven Bills topics, including why he was so invested in keeping young cornerback Denzel “Can I” Walker in the organization. Patrick explains why developing a raw prospect can be valuable even if that player isn't ready to contribute immediately, using Alec Anderson’s development as an example. The Podbag also tackles Greg Rousseau and whether this could finally be the season he reaches double-digit sacks. Patrick explains why Rousseau’s value shouldn’t be measured strictly by sack totals and why his run defense, edge-setting ability, pressures and impact in critical situations matter just as much. There’s also plenty of discussion surrounding rookie edge rusher T.J. Parker. Patrick responds to criticism of the Bills’ first-round pick, explains why it’s far too early to label Parker a mistake and revisits some of the other prospects he personally preferred during the draft. Max Hairston remains another major topic. Patrick pushes back against the idea that Hairston is already “toast,” while also explaining why concerns over his physicality, tackling and early performance shouldn’t simply be dismissed. Could Buffalo eventually rotate Hairston with IGB depending on matchups? Plus, Patrick reconsiders his stance on whether the Bills should receive or defer after winning the coin toss, wonders who Buffalo’s emergency long snapper would be behind Reid Ferguson, gives his thoughts on the controversial Nickel City uniforms, talks about Buffalo-area restaurants he wishes would make a comeback and previews much more Bills coverage as the regular season arrives. Key TakeawaysKhalil Shakir’s health is becoming something to monitor as Week 1 approaches, especially if he remains sidelined when Buffalo begins its regular-season practice schedule.Greg Rousseau doesn’t need double-digit sacks to have a strong season. His run defense, pressures, edge-setting and ability to impact critical downs remain major parts of his value.It’s far too early to judge T.J. Parker. While he wasn’t Patrick’s preferred draft choice, Parker showed improvement throughout the summer and preseason.There are legitimate reasons to be concerned about Max Hairston, but declaring him a bust before the regular season begins is equally premature.Developing young players matters beyond their rookie seasons, which is why keeping promising prospects in the organization can pay dividends down the road.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

    Do Or Die 2026 Campaigns For These Six Bills

    The 2026 Buffalo Bills season is nearly here, and for several players on the roster, the stakes feel especially high. On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran breaks down six Bills players who could be facing pivotal, potentially do-or-die seasons. Whether they're fighting to prove themselves, secure their starting job, earn a new contract or establish their long-term future in Buffalo, each has plenty riding on the upcoming campaign. Patrick starts with Keon Coleman, who enters his third NFL season looking to put two inconsistent years behind him. After a promising summer and training camp, can Coleman finally become the reliable playmaker Buffalo envisioned when drafting him? Dalton Kincaid also has major stakes attached to this season. Staying healthy and producing at a high level could position the talented tight end for a significant contract extension and potentially take Buffalo's already dangerous offense to another level. At linebacker, both Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams have plenty to prove. Bernard needs to stay healthy and recapture the impact he displayed earlier in his career, while Williams could be battling not only for a starting role but also for his next NFL contract. Then there's Tyler Bass. Buffalo has continued showing confidence in its veteran kicker, but Patrick explains why Bass may need a strong season to remain part of the team's long-term plans—and why his performance could ultimately have a huge impact on Buffalo's championship aspirations. Finally, Patrick discusses Max Hairston and the pressure surrounding the former first-round pick. Hairston possesses elite speed and intriguing playmaking ability, but questions about injuries, physicality and consistency make his second season one worth watching closely. Before getting into the main topic, Patrick also discusses Josh Allen finishing among the NFL Top 100's final two players and why Bills fans should appreciate having one of football's premier players in his prime. Key Takeaways Keon Coleman faces a pivotal third season after an inconsistent first two years, but a strong 2026 could quickly change the conversation surrounding him. Dalton Kincaid has major financial incentive to break out, with a healthy and productive season potentially positioning him for a lucrative extension. Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams face significant competition at linebacker, with playing time and their longer-term futures potentially at stake. Tyler Bass needs to reward Buffalo's continued faith in him, especially with the possibility that a critical Bills game could eventually come down to his leg. Max Hairston enters Year 2 under pressure to stay healthy, become more consistent and solidify himself as Buffalo's starting cornerback opposite Christian Benford.

    Analyzing Some Bills Tough Decisions

    Patrick Moran is joined by longtime contributor Matt Warren of SB Nation for a wide-ranging discussion about the Buffalo Bills’ initial 53-man roster, practice-squad additions and biggest surprises from the summer. Patrick and Matt examine Buffalo’s decision to carry four tight ends without a traditional fullback, the additions of Greg Dortch, Shaq Thompson and Jedrick Wills Jr., and which young players could eventually earn meaningful roles. They also discuss Jordan Hancock’s versatility, the future of DeWayne Carter and why rookie Ahmed Hassanein-Reed Adams may have been too valuable to expose to waivers. The episode concludes with a look at the Bills’ biggest offensive and defensive X-factors, including Dalton Kincaid, Keon Coleman, Jackson Hawes, Landon Jackson and T.J. Sanders. Key Takeaways Buffalo’s decision to retain four tight ends could signal heavier use of two- and three-tight-end formations. Greg Dortch offers potential value as a punt returner, gadget player and experienced receiver. Jordan Hancock could fill a versatile role similar to Cam Lewis, contributing at nickel cornerback, dime defender and on special teams. Buffalo appears willing to develop promising young players such as Ahmed Hassanein-Reed Adams and Zion Durant for future roles. A healthy Dalton Kincaid could elevate an already talented Bills offense into one of the NFL’s most difficult units to defend. Additional Topics Discussed The launch of Buffalo Rumblings on the SB Nation app Josh Allen’s latest NFL Top 100 recognition Buffalo’s relatively encouraging injury situation entering Week 1 Frank Gore Jr. returning to the practice squad Shaq Thompson providing veteran linebacker depth Offensive tackle depth and the addition of Jedrick Wills Jr. DeWayne Carter’s roster status and future in Buffalo Brandon Beane’s potential success with the Bills’ Day 3 draft class Early matchup advantages against the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

    Eventful Post-Cuts Day For Bills (Observations)

    The Buffalo Bills’ initial 53-man roster is set, but Brandon Beane and company are far from finished shaping the team for the regular season. On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran reacts to an eventful day of Bills roster news, including the return of veteran linebacker Shaq Thompson, the addition of an intriguing return specialist and the formation of Buffalo’s practice squad. Patrick explains why Thompson could provide valuable insurance behind Terrel Bernard while also serving as a mentor for the Bills’ younger linebackers. He also discusses the possible downside of the move for promising linebacker Keyontae Jenkins. The conversation turns to the waiver wire, where seventh-round pick Toriano Pride Jr. was claimed by the Cleveland Browns. Patrick evaluates Buffalo’s cornerback decisions and explains why he still believes the Bills took an unnecessary risk by exposing promising young cornerback Kanai Walker to waivers. There’s also plenty of discussion about former Arizona Cardinals receiver Greg Dortch. Buffalo added Dortch to its practice squad after he was released by Detroit, and his experience as both a receiver and return specialist could quickly earn him a game-day role. With Buffalo’s punt-return situation unsettled, Dortch may become far more than a routine practice-squad addition. Patrick also covers the return of Frank Gore Jr., Trent Sherfield, Jamari Thrash, Chase Lundt, Nick Broeker and several defensive prospects. He examines which players could eventually earn promotions to the active roster and why some rookies may benefit from a full developmental season. Finally, Patrick discusses Ben VanSumeren joining the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad and what his departure means for Buffalo’s fullback position. Could the Bills operate without a traditional fullback, use one of their tight ends in a hybrid role or bring in someone from outside the organization? Key Takeaways Shaq Thompson provides valuable veteran insurance: Thompson gives Buffalo an experienced option behind Terrel Bernard and could become an important mentor for the Bills’ younger linebackers. Greg Dortch could earn an immediate role: His NFL receiving experience and ability to return punts and kickoffs make him one of Buffalo’s most intriguing practice-squad additions. The Bills took a gamble at cornerback: Toriano Pride Jr. was claimed by Cleveland, while Kanai Walker cleared waivers and returned to Buffalo. Patrick believes Walker did enough during the summer to earn a spot on the initial roster. Buffalo retained several developmental prospects: Walker, Keyontae Jenkins, Corey Couch and other young players will have opportunities to improve within the organization. The fullback situation remains unresolved: With Ben VanSumeren joining Kansas City, Buffalo may enter the season without a traditional fullback or use a tight end in a hybrid role. Players and Topics Discussed Shaq Thompson returning to Buffalo Terrel Bernard’s injury history Buffalo’s young linebacker depth Keyontae Jenkins’ development Toriano Pride Jr. joining the Cleveland Browns Kanai Walker clearing waivers Greg Dortch’s receiving and return ability Buffalo’s unsettled punt-return situation Trent Sherfield and the wide receiver depth chart Frank Gore Jr. returning to the practice squad Ian Wheeler’s reported practice-squad decision Offensive line depth and developmental prospects Corey Couch’s positional versatility Andre Jones Jr. returning to the organization Geno Stone’s potential game-day role Damar Hamlin’s performance and position on the depth chart Ben VanSumeren joining the Kansas City Chiefs Buffalo’s options at fullback The evolving Bills defense under Jim Leonhard Final roster decisions before Week 1 The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!

    Bills Cuts Show How Little Camp/Preseason Often Mean

    Patrick Moran is joined by Steve Bermel to break down the Buffalo Bills’ initial 53-man roster and several surprising decisions made by Brandon Beane and the organization. Patrick questions how much training camp and preseason performances truly matter after impressive players such as Kani Walker and Keonta Jenkins failed to make the roster. The conversation examines which players earned their spots, which cuts were most surprising and why Buffalo may not be finished reshaping the team. They also discuss the Bills keeping four tight ends without a fullback, Ty Johnson’s value to Josh Allen, the decision to retain Dwayne Carter and the trade involving Sedrick Van Pran-Granger. On defense, Patrick and Steve debate Buffalo’s lack of proven cornerback depth, its crowded collection of edge rushers and what fans should expect from Jim Leonhard’s new aggressive defensive scheme. The episode closes with Buffalo Sabres talk, including Connor Hellebuyck’s uncertain future in Winnipeg and whether Buffalo remains a realistic trade destination for the franchise goaltender. Key Takeaways Strong training camp and preseason performances did not guarantee roster spots for Kani Walker or Keyontae Jenkins. Buffalo’s decision to carry four tight ends and no traditional fullback could reveal how the offense plans to use its personnel. Josh Allen and the Bills offense remain dependable, but the defense is the team’s biggest uncertainty. Buffalo needs more consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks and better execution in critical third-down situations. A Connor Hellebuyck trade could dramatically raise the Sabres’ ceiling, although Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s contract situation complicates a potential deal. Also Discussed Ty Johnson’s role and the trust he has earned from Josh Allen Dwayne Carter, Mike Danna and Buffalo’s defensive-line depth Concerns surrounding the Bills’ secondary The upcoming Buffalo Sabres season Talking Buffalo’s expansion into local food-review videos Chicken fingers from 290 Slide Sports Bar & Grille Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.

    Bills Preseason Finale - Instant Live Reaction

    The Buffalo Bills completed a perfect 3-0 preseason with a dramatic 28-27 comeback victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Highmark Stadium. Patrick Moran delivers his immediate reaction to the thrilling finish, highlighted by a late touchdown and successful two-point conversion. Patrick breaks down an impressive Bills debut from rookie wide receiver Skyler Bell, the continued emergence of T.J. Parker and several performances that could influence Buffalo’s final roster decisions. He also explains why the second starting cornerback position remains his biggest concern entering Week 1 against the Houston Texans. The episode examines Max Hairston’s struggles, IGB’s recent improvement, Mecole Hardman’s damaging drops and the uncertainty surrounding Buffalo’s punt-return job. Patrick also evaluates Damar Hamlin’s strong summer, the battles along the defensive line and the difficult choices Buffalo must make at wide receiver, running back, linebacker, cornerback and offensive line. With final cuts approaching, which players strengthened their cases—and who may have played their final game for the Bills? Key Takeaways Buffalo completed an undefeated preseason with an exciting last-minute comeback. Skyler Bell delivered a promising debut with seven receptions and a touchdown. Max Hairston’s difficult summer has created legitimate concern at CB2. T.J. Parker and IGB have noticeably improved during the latter stages of camp. Several roster battles remain unsettled ahead of the final 53-man cutdown. Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.
