On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for their weekly chat, focused around a discussion of the Bills positionally and their performance in Jacksonville as well as a handful of things that definitely have Buffalo facing some adversity going into Denver for the Divisional round this Saturday.

Linebacker, cornerback and tight end (as almost always) stood out in a good way for Buffalo in their three point win over Jacksonville as Matt breaks down the team position by position.

While prefacing that saying the Bills have no excuses and a very fair chance to go to Denver and knock off the top seeded Broncos on Saturday, there's definitely some factors working against them. Patrick and Matt hit on a handful of them, ranging from short rest to a ridiculous difference between when practice squad elevations are due and the roster being set because the Bills are playing at 4:30pm Saturday instead of 8:00pm. That plus a boatload of injuries that could end up coming to the wire.

Also, do the guys think the Bills have much fuel left in the tank after a grueling win in Jacksonville? That plus what are the chances Ed Oliver and Curtis Samuel both return this weekend and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Buffalo Bills beat reporter Jay Skurski from The Buffalo News to go over several of their biggest takeaways from the Bills exciting (and stressful) wild card road victory in Jacksonville on Sunday before quickly turning their attention to Denver.

Of course, Josh Allen is the primary reason the Bills are living to fight for another week and Jay has plenty of first hand accounts of what he seen from covering the game in Denver. However, while Josh did the heavy lifting on the offensive side, plenty of "aging" veterans saved the day defensively to keep the Bills in the game while the offense was floundering a little. Jay has thoughts on guys like Shaq Thompson, Tre White and Matt Milano rising up when the unit absolutely needed it most.

They spend some time discussing what is looking like a complex injury report for this week heading into the Denver game, and Jay has thoughts on who he think may and may not be good to go by Saturday. Speaking of, Denver is the No. 1 seed and coming off a bye week. How much will that be advantage, what are some things to worry most about with Denver and what's a few areas that can be exposed?

Plus, Jay spent personal time with Bills head coach Sean McDermott on the eve of the final game ever at Highmark Stadium a few weeks ago. Jay shares his experience with that and tons more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss yet another outstanding playoff performance from Josh Allen as he and a few big plays on defense carried the Buffalo Bills to a 27-24 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC wild card round to advance in the playoffs, Buffalo's first playoff road win since 1992.

Things weren't always easy for Allen and the Bills offense, including physically with Josh taking a beating. It wasn't made easier by James Cook being held to 46 yards on the ground by the league's best run defense. But when the Bills absolutely had to have it, Allen was pretty much flawless in leading the Bills to touchdowns on their last two possessions. The guys discuss a gutsy performance from the reigning MVP, who fair or not has all the pressure of the world on his shoulders to carry this team over the hump. Can the Bills winning like this be sustainable for the next two or three games?

Defensively the Bills started out great, fell apart for a while but again, when they absolutely had to have it, Tre White made a great play to deflect a pass that Cole Bishop intercepted to seal the game. The guys discuss their effort both good and bad, led by an incredible afternoon from White.

They also discuss some unsung heroes from the game, including Khalil Shakir and Matt Prater. That plus the Bills will have to overcome even more injuries, find a way to be better stopping the run and get their own run game going next week if they want a crack at the AFC championship the following week. That and tons more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran has a full preview of the Buffalo Bills vs Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday AFC wild card round showdown, including the latest on both teams, three keys to a Bills win, five bold predictions for the game and ultimately taking a stab at predicting who's going to win and what the final score will be.

Truth be told, this doesn't feel like an ideal situation for either team in the first round of the playoffs. The Bills absolutely cant win in Jacksonville, yet Patrick (and surely most Bills fans and media) aren't brimming with confidence about the matchup either. Conversely, the exact same can be said for the Jacksonville faithful. Sure, winning the AFC South and getting the home field advantage for at least one game is great---but honestly does anyone who roots for Jacksonville really think this is the matchup they preferred, especially so early?

But it is what it is and this should be a very good game. Patrick lays out what he thinks are three of the biggest keys to the Bills advancing to the next round, including referencing a pair of stats that support them being almost unbeatable when they happen.

He also has his weekly five bold predictions for the game, including Parker Washington giving the Bills defense all they can want and more in the passing game as well as Matt Milano coming up big for the Buffalo defense. Lastly, a prediction for the game and Patrick admits he's spent most the week truly not knowing who he thinks is going to win the game before waking up Thursday morning with a little clarity on why Buffalo will come out on top, at least he thinks so.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined in studio by Tone Pucks for the first time in over a year to discuss the Buffalo Bills through this point and more specifically, potential fallout should they lose on Sunday to Jacksonville in the AFC wild card round.

It's a been a mixed bag this season for the Bills with the regular season now over and a returning Pucks has his thoughts on the good and bad of it. On one hand they're no longer divisional champs for the first time in six years but at least they're in the dance---something teams like Kansas City, Baltimore and Cincinnati among others can't say.

From there the guys talk about Sunday's game, what they think it's going to take to move in the playoffs and how they feel things are going to play out.

Should the Bills lose, the big story will be what---if anything could be the fall out from it. Could general manager Brandon Beane, who's made some significant mistakes in a few key spots over the past few years, be fire? Could head coach Sean McDermott actually be on the hot seat? A whole host of possibilities are discussed today. That and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation for a Buffalo Bills positional analysis, grades for the backups from their regular season finale and a look into the Jacksonville Jaguars ahead of this Sunday's wild card round showdown.

Few Bills starters played much if at all versus the Jets, with the exception of one guy that still has Patrick extremely fired up several days later. He lets you know why he's still dumbfounded by that before the guys get into the team's performance positionally in a dominant performance over a New York Jets foe that may or may not have looked disinterested in being competitive.

Does anything from the Jets finale actually mean anything for Buffalo going into the playoffs?

The guys also take a look at Jacksonville and come up with a few things that gives them confidence for Buffalo going into the elimination game in addition to a few things that definitely have them worried. That plus why having a first round quarterback is imperative to team success it seems and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over 10 Buffalo Bills (and Jacksonville Jaguars) facts and stats as we settle into the pocket of starting to preview this Sunday's NFL wild card round showdown.

Before getting into the facts and stats, Patrick flip flops on the stance he had regarding Bills injuries this past Sunday with kicker Matt Prater and cornerback Max Hairston. In fact, after watching back the All 22 Patrick's quite fired up at Sean McDermott.

From there it's just a collection of interesting facts and stats to go over from both teams as we start to get ready for this elimination game. From how good the Bills are running the ball to Jacksonville stopping in, to the Bills being unbeatable when not losing turnover battles but Jacksonville being elite at getting takeaways to a pair of tight ends that could play huge roles in this game and plenty more.

It's Bills vs Jaguars every day, all week here on Talking Buffalo. Let the playoffs begin!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss the Buffalo Bills toying with the New York Jets in the regular season finale, 35-8 before quickly turning their attention towards next week's wild card round showdown with the hottest team in the NFL, Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Bills absolutely dominated the Jets from the start of what's likely the last ever game at Highmark Stadium. While the Bills deserve plenty of credit for the effort it was also obvious the Jets looked like a team running for the bus. The guys talk about some of the takeaways from the game, including Dalton Kincaid looking impressive in his brief return to action, a nice afternoon for Mitch Trubisky in the passing game and a complete defensive shutdown of the hapless Jets.

It wasn't all roses for the Bills on Sunday though---kicker Matt Prater reaggravated a quad injury and Bills general manager Brandon Beane will be scrambling for a kicker this week before the playoffs.

Speaking of, the attention shifts to Jacksonville, who is steamrolling into the playoffs on the strength of an eight-game winning streak and nine of their last 10.

The guys also react to a lot of what they say today from both fans and the media with the Highmark Stadium finale. Was the emotion completely justified or perhaps a bit over the top? Can it difficult to balance incredible memories inside the stadium and only having to move across the street as opposed to if the team was relocating to another city or even different part of town? The guys give plenty of honest thoughts on it.
