On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by broadcaster Steve Bermel to discuss their preferred Buffalo Bills head coaching candidates and a Buffalo Sabres team has been absolutely tearing the league up over the past twenty plus games.

As of Sunday night the Bills have interviewed several candidates for the vacant head coaching position with more interviews likely coming in the days ahead before ultimately making a decision. Brian Daboll, Joe Brady, Anthony Weaver, Grant Udinski, Anthony Lynn and Philip Rivers have already received interviews and guys like Klint Kubiak and Davis Webb could potentially become part of the mix. The guys go over who they would like, and not like to see as Bills next coach.

Also, the Sabres just continue to be on a bender, steamrolling the Islanders on Saturday to win for the 18th time in their last 21 games. The guys discuss their incredible in-season turnaround that literally started with news that general manager Kevyn Adams would be fired. How much of the turnaround is tied into that, seeing that the personnel is pretty much the same as it was and Lindy Ruff's still behind the bench?

Plus, the Sabres situation with Alex Tuch could get really complex, what's going on with the Buffalo Bandits lately and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Tim Graham from The Athletic to react to an absolutely wild press conference featuring Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula and general manager Brandon Beane that's drawing strong reaction locally and around the league.

A season-ending press conference featuring Beane would be anticipated in any season. The fact former head coach Sean McDermott was fired on Monday definitely heightened it, and Pegula speaking and taking questions for the first time in years instantly made it must see. What we saw felt like a blend of honestly, contradicting statements and a few shocking moments. Tim was at the presser covering it for The Athletic and Patrick grills him for with a ton of questions on several statements said.

Pegula says his decision to fire McDermott was based on Saturday's loss in Denver and the reaction in the locker room, but soon after accused the officials of making a "bad call" that cost them the game. Beane also took offense, great offense to questions about making a powerplay to keep his job and about his character----a charged response.

Perhaps the most shocking part of the presser was Beane, when asked discussing some of the challenges with draft picks that haven't worked out when Pegula interrupted to publicly say that the Keon Coleman pick was not Brandon Beane's choice but Beane was being a "team player." Tim has a reaction on all this plus reaction he's heard around the league and tons more.
