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.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation's Matt Warren to go over positional analysis from the Buffalo Bills heartbreaking playoff loss in Denver last weekend in addition to discussing some of the fallout already pouring in from Sean McDermott being fired while Brandon Beane retained his job and got a promotion as well.

The craziness around the McDermott firing and Beane staying almost makes you forget about the game in Denver Saturday that possibly led to it. Not the case for Patrick and Matt though. As they've done every week throughout the season and finish up with today, they go through the Bills positionally, talk about what went right and wrong for the game before Matt ultimately assigns his grade for each.

From there it's all about the news of McBeane divorcing and the immediate fallout. The guys have plenty of their own thoughts on why things went the way they did and if they agree with it. They also go over some of the articles, stories and rumors about what led to where we're at today.

That plus who Matt would like to see be the next Bills head coach, a little talk of what's to come soon and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by popular podcaster Bruce Nolan to go over several thoughts on the heels of the shocking firing of now former Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott on Monday.

The prevailing sentiment following the Bills latest disappointing exit from the playoffs was that both McDermott and Brandon Beane would likely be safe, with Beane probably the more likely to get fired if owner Terry Pegula pulled the trigger on the move. However, turns out it was McDermott getting fired with Beane not only keeping his job, but getting a promotion along the way. Patrick and Bruce have a ton of thoughts on this franchise altering development.

Patrick also expresses disbelief and annoyance at how poorly the Bills seem to have read the room with this McDermott firing/Beane promotion move----from the reaction of (most) fans defending McDermott, the outpouring of public shock and unhappiness of several players to the official press release that literally had a notable typo in the beginning and felt pretty chilly towards McDermott, saying he did an "admiral" job.

Bruce has thoughts on Beane's track record, what he expects him to say at the next imminent press conference, how the offseason could go and tons more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss the Buffalo Bills heartbreaking overtime playoff loss in Denver, with the defeat serving up some indictments on the organization that may (or may not) lead to changes.

The Bills fell on the wrong side of history in depressing fashion, becoming the first team in NFL history to be eliminated from the playoffs three consecutive seasons by three points or less. This time a lot of the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Josh Allen, who uncharacteristically played awful. Allen turned the ball over four times and three of them were his fault. He also missed some very makable throws, including a ball to Dawson Knox on the Bills last offensive snap of regulation that would've won the game. The guys discuss how disappointing it is for someone as talented and valuable as Josh to play so poorly.

Officiating was clearly at the forefront of this one too. The guys discuss whether they think Brandin Cooks should've been ruled as having caught the ball and a few other terrible calls that went against the Bills.

They also discuss several other factors that Patrick feel serves as indictments against both Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane. Will it lead to any changes?

Also, how much does this loss and playoff exit hurt more than the others? That plus the Patriots going to the AFC title game makes this all feel sicker, what could the offseason look like and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of Saturday's AFC Divisional round clash as the Buffalo Bills take on the Denver Broncos, including a discussion on the state of both teams, four keys to a Bills victory, five "bold predictions" for the game and a stab at predicting the final score.

After knocking off Jacksonville last weekend, the Bills take to the road again trying to advance to the conference championship. To do that they'll have overcome many things, none so more than injuries that'll keep a few important players out and others are far less than 100%. Denver is fresh off a bye earned by being the top seed and there's several things Bills fans should be worried about with them. However, there's also areas of the team that can be exploited, as Patrick gives his lowdown on each team.

From there it's Patrick's four biggest keys to the Bills finding a way to come out on top, none so more important, as usual than not losing the turnover battle. After last week the Bills remained undefeated when not losing the turnover battle. Also, having early down success and weathering the storm will be huge keys.

Five bold predictions is always fun, at least it is when the Bills win and Patrick is right. Among his today is a successful return for Curtis Samuel, who's been a huge bust this season. Also, can Taron Johnson make us forget about a forgettable season with one big fourth quarter play? Patrick seems to think so.

Of course, it all ends with a prediction for the game and we'll save the suspense here---Patrick's picking the Bills and tells everyone the biggest reasons why. I feel like you can probably guess the biggest one.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by NFL insider and Denver host/reporter Benjamin Allbright to discuss this Saturday's Buffalo Bills vs Denver Broncos Divisional Round showdown more from a Denver perspective.

Allbright is one of the most respected football insider and analysts in the industry and has been kind enough to appear on Talking Buffalo periodically dating all the back to 2018. In fact, Allbright predicted the Bills would trade up for Josh Allen on this show just weeks before the 2018 draft. Patrick takes advantage of that moment to ask Allbright, based out of Denver what it would be like for the Broncos had they drafted Allen fifth overall instead of Bradley Chubb.

But this is all about Saturday's playoff matchup and Patrick grills Benjamin to learn as much as possible about the Broncos from someone who directly covers the team. What makes the Broncos the top seeded team that earned a first-round bye? What about this team is exceptional? What could potentially be exposed by the Bills? Speaking of, how are people in Denver actually feeling from their end about facing Josh Allen and a very banged up Buffalo team? That plus Patrick asks Benjamin if he's sticking to Ben's preseason guns of the Bills going to the Super Bowl or not? Follow Benjamin Allbright on Twitter @AllbrightNFL.

Patrick also spends time before and after talking about the state of a beat up Bills team that is getting ready to try and go out and get their second straight road playoff win. That and plenty more!
