On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has plenty of Buffalo Sabres takes from the Boston first round series in addition to three keys he sees to the Sabres beating Montreal in the upcoming Eastern Conference semifinals.

Obviously it’s an electric time for Sabres fans, whether you’re a diehard who’s suffered through the years of being inept or new on the scene freshly on the bandwagon. Patrick has plenty to say about that and about this team after it closed out Boston in six games. Among things discussed is loving Zach Benson because he’s yours even though everyone else thinks of him along the same lines Buffalo fans think of Brad Marchand.

Also, Boston was competitive with Buffalo but Patrick thinks the Bruins knew at the end of the day they were in over their heads against the Sabres, something Montreal is surely not feeling after getting past Tampa.

Will this Sabres postseason run strengthen or weaken the chances Alex Tuch re-signs with the team? Patrick says that the emergence of another player could make a Tuch return complicated. That plus plenty of other Sabres thoughts, the three things that must happen to defeat the Canadians in this upcoming series and much more.

Good luck going to a bar or restaurant for a Sabres playoff game without it being packed, or not having to compete at Dicks’s Sporting Goods or other retail stores where Sabres merch is flying off the shelves. Don’t get us wrong---this is all amazing not to mention long overdue, but does it say anything negative about the fan base along the way? To be fair, getting a Sabres ticket in March or April in recent years in the secondary market has been cheaper than going to the movies. The guys attempt to have a nuanced discussion without pissing off fans while doing so, very unlikely of course.

Also, Buffalo fans are letting Boston sports fans absolutely have it recently on Twitter following the Sabres dismantling of the Bruins in the first round of the playoffs, plus several other Boston teams struggling this year. Is it all in good fun or a petty look? Maybe, it’s both.

Other topics discussed include trying to figure out which one player not named Jack Eichel or Sam Reinhart from the Sabres drought era teams they wish could be on the current playoff roster. That plus did Joe enjoy watching “The Pitt” based on Patrick’s recommendation and much more.

On this milestone episode No. 1300 of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo Rumblings team site producer Chris Trapasso to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics, including a look at the personnel changes we can expect on the 2026 Bills defense and what Chris thought of Buffalo’s recent draft class haul.

Chris has been around the NFL media in various capacities for a number of years and just this past week signed on to lead SB Nation’s Buffalo Bills section, Buffalo Rumblings. Chris discusses the process of getting the job and how he plans on bringing his creativity and connections to help further along what’s been a very good resource of news and entertainment for Bills fans.

One of the biggest offseason stories for the Bills, of course was the firing of head coach Sean McDermott and promotion of Joe Brady. One of the most important moves Brady made was hiring Jim Leonhard as his defensive coordinator. Chris reflects back a few months on Brady’s decision and how he feels about the various personnel pieces Buffalo has added to the defense and how he expects these guys to contribute.

Obviously that includes a recent draft class that saw the first two and six of the first eight Bills selections come on the defensive side of the ball. Chris talks about why he liked Kalem Elarms-Orr as much as he did before the draft, some of the things he’s looking forward to shaking out now that he’s covering the team full-time and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation to discuss among other things to discuss the biggest winners and losers as it pertains to the Buffalo Bills on the heels of last week’s 2026 NFL Draft.

The draft created some favorable and subsequent less favorable momentum for certain prospects themselves or certain veterans currently on the roster. The guys discuss some of the Bills biggest draft winners and why they are, including a pair of veteran defensive tackles, Kaleb Elarms-Orr, a defensive back free agent addition, the likely QB 2and the defensive coordinator, Jim Leonhard.

Conversely, the draft may not have been good news for third year wide receiver Keon Coleman despite the recent onslaught of positive publicity. It also may not be the best for last year’s number one draft pick Max Hairston. Also, Jalon Kilgore’s drafting could be bad news for either Damar Hamlin or Geno Stone, Javon Solomon’s chances of having a path to be an impactful edge rusher took a hit and wondering if there’s a lack of confidence in offensive lineman Tylan Grable.

The guys also reveal what team(s) they think have had the best offseason (so far) in the AFC and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by broadcaster Steve Bermel for plenty of live reaction just moments after the Buffalo Sabres blew an opportunity to clinch their playoff series against Boston on home ice, losing to the Bruins 2-1 in game five.

The Sabres scored a power play goal (wow!!!) less than four minutes into the game but couldn’t get a puck past Jeremy Swayman the rest of the night. The guys talk about an offense that went stagnant for a lot of reasons, ranging from Tage Thompson having a bad game to the Ryan McLeod line struggling and perhaps the most concerning thing to come from this game, a Noah Ostlund ankle injury that could result in the talented rookie being done for the playoffs. This means a returning Josh Norris is really going to have to step up for Buffalo going forward.

Despite not getting it done, Steve tells us why he’s still confident the Sabres will advance, and thinks Lindy Ruff will go back to Alex Lyon between the pipes in game six in Boston on Friday night.

They also spend time getting Steve’s thoughts on the Buffalo Bills draft selections, the Buffalo Bandits seeing their run of three consecutive NLL championships officially come to an end and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, the dust is starting to settle on the 2026 NFL Draft and Patrick Moran shares his thoughts on each of the Buffalo Bills nine selections--what he liked, didn’t like and wishes what would’ve happened with each of the picks.

The Bills traded down three times and ultimately out of the first round but that doesn’t mean Buffalo’s draft wasn’t eventful. In fact, quite the opposite. It seems there’s a wide ranging perspective on how the Bills went about their process and if nothing else, a slight trade up for a cornerback in the second round was certainly eye opening and if not a shocker.

Patrick goes through each pick Buffalo made and tries to explain what he liked, what he didn’t like and what he would’ve done with each pick were he the one making the call. Like probably many of you, Patrick felt the Bills sweet spot of the draft was the fourth and fifth rounds and in fact, thinks a few of the day three picks could end up being the best selections when we look back at this draft in a few years.

Also, Patrick shares of a few of his favorite picks around the NFL from each of the seventh rounds. That plus the Sabres are close to advancing in the Stanley Cup playoffs and plenty more!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss the Buffalo Sabres game four road domination of Boston that has them within a game of advancing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in addition to thoughts and reaction from the 2026 Buffalo Bills draft over the past few days.

Last Thursday the Sabres took back home ice advantage with a 3-1 win in Boston. On Sunday they took a stranglehold on the series. Buffalo didn’t just beat Boston, they embarrassed them on their home ice, 6-1 in a game that showed Buffalo’s clearly the superior talented team. The guys discuss the excitement of just being one game away from a second round meeting with either Tampa Bay or Montreal.

Meanwhile another NFL Draft has come and come and Brandon Beane made seven trades, including six that had them moving back. In the end Buffalo ended up selecting nine players and the guys have plenty of thoughts on each of them, what they liked and disliked the most from this draft, where they think the Bills roster stands after the draft, what moves may still be out there to come and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, the Buffalo Bills made two picks in the second round on night two of the NFL Draft that are drawing strong reactions, and Patrick Moran has plenty of them.

Many thought the Bills could go defensive tackle or linebacker with their first (35) but Brandon Beane pulled the trigger on edge rusher TJ Paker of Clemson. It’s not that the selection of a defensive edge is shocking by any means, but in Parker they showed without question that they prefer a specific prototype at the postion.

If Parker wasn’t shocking, the second pick of the round certainly was---Ohio State cornerback Davison Igbinosun. Patrick picks his jaw up from the floor to discuss.

Patrick also discusses where he thinks the Bills stand with these two new additions, what day three guys does he have his eye on and much more.

Folks, this Sabres win was all about the additions to the lineup that weren’t on the ice in the first two games. Noah Ostlund was fantastic in setting up a goal and putting the final nail in Boston with an empty netter, while Alex Lyon was absolutely brilliant in net minus one shot. They helped overcome a terrible Sabres power play yet again and bad third penalties from two of their biggest stars, Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin,. The guys talk about the good, bad and ugly of a win that wrestles home ice advantage back to Buffalo.

As for the Bills, they got on the clock at 26 and decided to trade down two spots with Houston. Then another three with New England. Then another four and out of the first round entirely with Tennessee. So the Bills don’t end up with a first round pick but improve their draft stock, semi significantly over the final six rounds. The guys have several opinions about it and much more.

Make sure to follow Mike on Twitter @Mike_Bundt.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran drops his third and final 2026 full Buffalo Bills mock draft just hours ahead of the real NFL draft that begins on Thursday night, an evening where the Bills may or may not even end up making a first-round selection.

Before launching the mock Patrick explains what his biggest dilemma for the Bills is this year----need versus value. There’s little question that when you look up future contracts based on today’s market that wide receiver and edge rusher are two premium positions the Bills could address first and both would be perfectly wise. However, when looking at the current state of the roster and past year January performances you can make a sound argument that improving at stopping the run should be of the utmost importance, and a stout defensive tackle and linebacker are the team’s biggest draft needs.

But what happens if popular mock pick and nearby Rochester native wide receiver KC Concepcion happens to be on the board at 26? Do you add another weapon that some experts consider as perhaps the next Stefon Diggs minus the off-field drama?

One thing’s for sure---Patrick’s very open coming into the draft to trading down, as it makes sense in so many ways. He explains precisely what his goal with that is, who’d he be disappointed with in the first round and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by broadcaster Steve Bermel for instant live reaction just minutes following the conclusion of the Buffalo Sabres getting what they deserved Tuesday night, a game two loss against Boston to even the series at a game apiece.

Following a scoreless first period where the Sabres got away with playing leaky, they weren’t as fortunate in the second. Boston scored three goals including one of those softest goals you’ll see to give them a two goal cushion and confidence. They chased UPL early in the third period and the Sabres now go into game three in Boston tied 1-1.

The guys talk about a power play that continues to stink, too many giveaways, lousy on faceoffs, bad penalties and quite frankly, bad goaltending after the first 2o minutes doing them in.

Does Buffalo go with Alex Lyon in game three? Will Lindy Ruff make any lineup changes in Boston? Is Patrick over seeing the Buffalo Bills featured on TV in the Arena press box?

Also, with the start of the NFL Draft now just roughly 36 hours away from starting, what does Steve think the Bills have in mind? That and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over six predictions he thinks will play out for the Buffalo Bills throughout the 2026 NFL Draft that begins this Thursday night.

Weeks if not months of rumors and speculation are just about over as we head into draft week and like many of you, Patrick’s probably changed his mind about how some things will play out dozens of times. However, it’s pretty much put up or shut up time and Patrick has landed on some Bills draft factors he feels pretty comfortable predicting. Among them is admittedly still completely undecided on if the Bills will take a wide receiver early in the draft but confident enough to predict if they take one anytime in the first three rounds that Keon Coleman will be a former Bill by the end of the weekend.

Also, offensive tackle isn’t a need right now, but Patrick explains why he thinks you can still a prospect selected there as easy as round three.

Could taking a kicker be on the table? Patrick certainly thinks so. That plus why a defensive tackle at the top doesn’t feel like enough value, why he lands on taking a defensive edge rusher first and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo podcaster and blogger Chris Ostrander just minutes after the Buffalo Sabres stormed back to beat the Boston Bruins, 4-3 to take game one of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal playoffs.

The Sabres looked like toast after falling down 2-0 in the third period and lacked energy, which trickled some into the crowd. But Tage Thompson literally changed that with two goals to tie it before Mattias Samuelsson netted the go ahead goal and Alex Tuch gave them insurance (they’d need) with an empty net goal in a nice play by Thompson.

The guys talk about the good, bad and ugly of the game which of course there was plenty of all it. What matters most is the Sabres take game one of the series. Plenty to talk about!

On this bonus Saturday edition of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran conducts his second Buffalo Bills full seven round mock draft and comes up with several interesting dilemmas along the way.

Going into the mock Patrick reveals that his goal is to trade down from Buffalo’s 26th overall pick, with the goal of picking up a day two pick without moving too far out range to get one of a handful of players he’s hoping to land. However, it takes two to tango and when he’s on the block for Buffalo at 26 there’s no good offers from other teams. So Patrick is forced to stand pat at 26 and weights a difficult decision between Ohio State defensive tackle Kayden McDonald and a small handful of high potential edge rushers.

Ultimately Patrick goes with McDonald and explains why, hoping to land an edge in the third round at pick No. 91 but all his guys are gone again there, forcing him to pivot off what he originally said. He does get what he considers a gift in the fourth round in a talented linebacker and takes an intriguing offensive tackle with one of his fifth round picks.

After a corner later in the fifth and safety in the sixth, Patrick ends his mock for a second straight time by selecting a-----kicker. Before leaving Patrick shares his honest assessment of his mock and why he likes this one better than his first.

One of the most accomplished and respected sports writers in the business, Dunne often writes polarizing stories and none so more than when it comes to the Bills. Whether fans loved or hated it, everyone talked about Dunne’s three-part series on Sean McDermott a handful of years ago. Dunne sat down recently with Brady for two hours and from it came a lot of interesting stories----several of which Tyler discusses on this podcast.

They also discuss a former Bills positional coach that Patrick found fun irony in between the past McDermott story and current Brady piece. Patrick also asks Tyler for what his biggest takeaways from the Brady feature should be for all Bills fans.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over seven edge rushing prospects who potentially could be the Buffalo Bills first-round pick when the NFL draft commences a week from today.

Other positions are certainly in play for the Bills with their first overall pick in this draft including linebacker, defensive tackle and wide receiver, but Patrick has landed on it being most likely their going to take an edge rusher early. That sent him into studying mode to learn more about the pool of top prospects and he learned plenty about the seven most likely candidates for the Bills to pull the trigger on---on the premise that David Bailey, Rueben Bain Jr and Arvell Reese are all long gone well before the Bills would be on the clock.

Patrick goes over what he’s read and seen both good and bad about these prospects, including Keldric Faulk, TJ Walker, Akheem Mesidor, Cashius Howell, Malachi Lawrence, Zion Young and R Mason Thomas.

Who are the few that Patrick prefers the most? That plus a few potential day two guys are touched on, will we being having a Sabres playoff game three interfere with night one of the draft and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation to discuss where some of the biggest question marks on the Buffalo Bills depth chart currently are as well as potential solutions.

At least in the eyes of Patrick, Bills general manager Brandon Beane has done enough with the additions of DJ Moore, Bradley Chubb and CJ Gardner Johnson among others that there isn’t one specific glaring need for them at the top of the draft--which to some extent may allow the team to simply take the best player available regardless of (some) positions. However, when you take a deeper look at the roster, there’s certainly areas that are lacking much if any kind of real depth behind the expected starters.

The guys discuss some of these positions, including linebacker, defensive edge, boundary cornerback and offensive tackle.

They also go over why it would be very surprising to see the Bills address certain positions in the draft anytime before the mid-to-late rounds, those positions including running back, tight end, interior offensive line and safety.

Matt also responds to Patrick’s take that wide receiver in the first round is almost certainly off the board. That plus some general NFL talk and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss some of the reasons for what appears to be a lack of Buffalo Bills buzz less than two weeks before the NFL draft, including of course the Sabres ending their historically long playoff drought.

Usually when the draft is this close there seems to be a bigger buzz with the Bills than what we’ve seen so far. In fact, at least to Patrick it’s felt like a pretty low key offseason for the Bills despite making a handful of extremely notable additions like DJ Moore, Bradley Chubb and CJ Gardner Johnson. The guys discuss why it kind of feels that way, perhaps in part because this draft prospect pool in itself in the later first round doesn’t feel as buzzworthy as it usually does.

Of course, the Sabres have completely won the attention if not hearts of most Buffalo sports fans over the past few months and that definitely plays a role in it as well. Buffalo’s down to their final two games and controls their destiny to win the Atlantic division going into the playoffs, which speaking of Joe shares some of his favorite Sabres playoff memories.

They also hit on the Dianna Russini/Mike Vrabel situation, Pat McAfee’s involvement in a Wrestlemania main event angle not making any sense and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran (finally) gets around to conducting his first Buffalo Bills 2026 full mock draft just two weeks before the actual NFL draft takes place. Trades were on the table but none were consummated.

As with the past several years, Patrick enjoys doing these mock drafts but not for the prediction accurate aspect. Doing them often enough allows you to learn about more prospects, develop trends and strategies that play out in real time and speaking of----things happen one selection before Patrick’s on the clock for the Bills that throws things off for him and leaves him scrambling for a backup plan.

Patrick admits to also having a plan with the Bills No. 91 selection that goes astray when a pair of defensive lineman go off the board before he’s on the clock, at least one of them unexpected.

That plus a ton of explanation and rationale through the process, Patrick actually drafts a kicker for the Bills and plenty more.
