On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several topics, including going over the biggest all-time Buffalo Bills heartbreaks and where this latest dramatic playoff exit ranks among them.

This weekend was Valentine's Day so naturally Joe, an unapologetic (or simply in denial) cynic was inspired by the holiday and recent Bills loss to remember the biggest heartbreak the franchise has ever had. They discuss some of the best known debacles like wide right, 13 seconds, music city miracle, this year's Brandin Cooks' no catch and Jim Kelly's sad ending to a Hall of Fame career. But Joe has others in the tank that may make you grimace in pain.

Also, significant sports media news in the Buffalo market dropped this past week as Tim Graham and Brad Riter were announced to at least temporarily hold the 1-3pm slot on WGR 550. The guys got plenty of opinions on that and if they think it will eventually turn into a regular thing.

The Bills added 71-year old John Fox to the coaching staff as a senior assistant to Joe Brady. Predictably the guys have differing opinions on it. That and tons more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by special guest and possibly the most highly recruited high school football player to ever play in Western New York, Canisius High School star Elijah Kimble in a wide spanning conversation recorded live at Imperial Pizza in South Buffalo.

Kimble recently won the Connolly Cup, given to Western New York's top high school football player and in doing so became the first player ever from Canisius to win in the 53-year history of the award. He's also the first player from any school ever to be a finalist for the award in each of his first three seasons.

His stats at Canisius have been mind blowing, he's ran for 5,325 yards already through three years, the most all-time in Monsignor Martin Association history and he's fourth all-time in Western New York with a still a full season left to play, just 1,234 from the top spot.

Kimble isn't just some high school phenom, he' literally the most highly recruited running back to ever come out of Western New York. He's already received north of 35 major D1 offers and recently narrowed his list down to a final 10, a group that includes Ohio State, Michigan, Indian, Miami, Florida, Washington, Kansas and Syracuse.

Perhaps most impressively, he's an absolute humble and class act student athlete and young man. Patrick has a thorough discussion about his life, career to this point, goals and much, much more.

Be sure to follow Elijah on Twitter X at @ElijahKimble0 to follow updates on his career and life.

Big shout-out and thank you once again to Imperial Pizza for being a gracious host and for their excellent wings. They now have two locations, 1035 Abbott Road and also 1665 Main Street.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by WROC-TV sports director and Buffalo Bills reporter Thad Brown to discuss four things that went extremely well for the Buffalo Bills in 2025 and four others that went equally wrong among other Bills topics.

Thad has been on TV working in WROC in Rochester for over 25 more years, most of it in sports and of course covering the Bills. It's Thad's first time back on this podcast since 2019 and Patrick asks him a few Bill and sports media questions to get the conversation going before they dive into Bills talk.

First they start with four things that definitely went very well for Buffalo over this past season, including James Cook taking a leap from pretty damn good running to back to NFL's leading rusher, an influx of strong contributions from "old" guys on the defense they probably weren't counting on for much, Cole Bishop's big leap in year two and a ton of flashed potential from rookie defensive tackle Deone Walker.

Of course, turnabout is fair play and they also discuss four things that went terribly wrong for Buffalo this season. That includes them being a turnover machine compared to 2024, a wide receiver room that was mostly a disaster, big ticket defensive lineman no showing the playoffs and now former head coach Sean McDermott pushing the wrong buttons again at crucial points of a playoff elimination game.

Patrick also asks Thad for his thoughts on the Joe Brady hire, the coaches that have come with him so far, what he expects to see this offseason and plenty more. You can follow Thad on Twitter at @ThadBrown7and check out some of his work at RochesterFirst.com.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation's Matt Warren to formally put a bow on the Buffalo Bills 2025 season---awards show style as they highlight the best and worst of the season both individually and from the team.

Patrick tasks Matt with coming up for a season-ending award for a bunch of categories and they include: Team MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Best Rookie, Most Disappointing Rookie, Best Offseason Move, Worst Offseason Move, Most Pleasant Surprise, Most Disappointing, Best Game, Worst Game, Best Play and Worst Play are all handed out. Some of them require deep thought and discussion while others were cut and dry. The guys also try to name at least one honorable mention for each awards as well.

Also, what did Matt think of the Super Bowl and did New England getting thoroughly beaten soften the blow of the Bills falling short yet again in the playoffs? Does he think New England was simply outclassed on that particular day and does he see them as a team that should be a big Super Bowl favorite next year or did they just have (a ton of) lady luck on their side in 2025?

That plus the Bills are once again among the top early offseason Super Bowl favorites for next year and tons more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to, among other things and go back to their 2025 Buffalo Bills predictions before the season started to see how they did.

Having season previews and prediction episodes before a season starts is always fun. Going back to revisit them to see how accurate you were is even more fun and keeps people accountable for bad predictions instead of just lauding the accurate ones. Among others, who took the under for Josh Allen having at least 30 touchdown passes this season between Patrick and Joe? Did one or both of them predict at least 50 receptions from Keon Coleman? Which one actually predicted Khalil Shakir for their biggest offensive disappointment of the season?

Switching to the defense, which guy nailed Cole Bishop for leading the team in interceptions? Which one hit on Matt Milano playing in more than 11 game this season? Also, shockingly only one of the guys predicted that former Buffalo Bill would rejoin the club after the season started.

Also, the guys reflect on the NFL 2025 season and how the Bills may approach this offseason. That and tons more.

On Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for a recording immediately after the Super Bowl to offer a few thoughts on the game before diving into examining if their opinions have shifted on the big Buffalo Bills moves that've been made since the end of the season.

It's Joe's first time back on the show in three weeks and whole lot has went down with the Bills since they've last spoke on the air. That includes Sean McDermott being fired, Brandon Beane being both retained and promoted, the wild Beane/Terry Pegula press conference, a head coaching search that culminated in the promotion of Joe Brady to head coach and a bunch of new coaches to the staff. Joe shares his thoughts on many of these things while Patrick puts thoughts into if he thinks that public opinion has changed on these moves from the time they happened until now.

Also, significant news in the Buffalo sports media world came down late last week when the Bills (and Sabres) announced their relationship with WGR-550 as the teams flagship station is coming to an end. Joe has plenty to say about that. That plus the Sabres find themselves in a great spot at the Olympic break with these last 27 games to bring plenty of excitement and anxiety plus much more.

On this Saturday episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran hosts a Podbag episode chockfull of listener submitted questions and takes centering around the Buffalo Bills, including discussing why 32-year old journeyman wide receiver proved the Joe Brady naysayers wrong.

One of the biggest sentiments and criticisms around Brady as an offensive coordinator has been his inability to have receivers play a consistently prominent role in in the passing game, especially on deeps plays down the field. Patrick elaborates why the late season addition of Cooks proved that theory wrong, as Cooks was schemed (wide) open down the field plenty, he simply rarely made the play, including of course the Denver overtime nightmare. It has Patrick finally on the "wide receiver" train that others have been on for quite some time.

Also, who are a few of the guys the Bills could target this offseason? AJ Brown is widely speculated and Patrick's been talking about Brian Thomas Jr for several months, but how about Tyreek Hill? Someone in the Podbag even brings up Tee Higgins.

One thing that seems certain, at least to Patrick is that Keon Coleman is never going to be that guy, so he explains why he'd trade him now. That plus Joey Bosa is likely done in Buffalo, a pessimist Bills fan chimes in and a Sabres fan (think he's a fan?) warns to not get carried away with the team until they win a playoff game.

Happy weekend!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran shares some of his biggest takeaways after new Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard met with the media on Thursday, including coming up with a boxing comparison that fits the difference Leonhard and former Bills head coach and defensive play caller, Sean McDermott.

Leonhard help court with the media for an extended period on Thursday and definitely had a few sound bytes as some of his core principles were being discussed, including being aggressive but also being aggressive without it becoming reckless. Leonhard also went on about he's been his best coaching guys who don't fit into a specific box or role and can be versatile on his defense.

Patrick came away from the scrum extremely impressed and shares why, including the contrasting styles between Leonhard and McDermott that led to a Floyd Mayweather versus Thomas Hearns boxing analogy.

He also discusses a few of the players currently on the Bills defense he's excited to see under the watchful eye of Leonhard and a few others that could find themselves on the outside looking in rather quickly. That plus a handful of free agents that could work great in Buffalo and much more.
