Moran-Alytics Podcast

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes solo and has a ton of opinions and observations after studying the coaches All-22 film from the Buffalo Bills dismantling of Washington on the road in addition to analyzing several of the Pro Football Focus premium stats and grades assigned from the game. As has been the story this season, Buffalo's defense has been the consistent rock of the team. Patrick has thoughts on a dominant defensive line, Terrell Bernard making impact plays and great outings for veterans Micah Hyde and Tre White. Offensively, Patrick has a hard time understand how PFF's grades for the offensive line weren't more favorable. That aside, it was great outings for both Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs, not to mention James Cook, who's relatively quietly becoming one of the league's better running backs. That plus a look at Miami and much more. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Substack: Patrick Moran's Substack Twitter:  @PatMoranTweets.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Tone Pucks for his weekly visit to discuss the Buffalo Bills going to Washington and annihilating the Commanders in addition to some Buffalo Sabres talk. It's no exaggeration to say the Bills defense brutalized Sam Howell and the Washington offense, to the tune of nine sacks, four interceptions and a fumble recovery. The guys talk about how Buffalo was able to so easily dominate, led by Terrell Bernard, who in just a few weeks has went from suspect starter to very likely the reigning AFC Defensive Player of the Week. The offense wasn't too shabby either, with Josh Allen leading the Bills offense to three touchdowns and avoiding costly mistakes other than a meaningless interception. Patrick and Tone talk about his game, the offensive line looking great for a second straight week and Stefon Diggs continuing to play like one of the game's best receivers. Even in a blowout win there's a couple of things to be concerned about. The guys hit on that in addition to the Sabres opening the preseason, some strong feelings Patrick Kane potentially coming to Buffalo and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Aaron Quinn (Cover 1) to provide a little preview of the Week three matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Washington Commanders in addition to talk about the good they had last weekend partying with each other and tons of Bills Mafia. When the NFL schedule dropped in April many Bills fans circled Washington as an easily winnable game. Not so fast, maybe. It hasn't been against world beaters (Arizona, Denver) but Washington is 2-0 to start the season. The guys talk about an offense led by Sam Howell that's exceeding expectations early and a pass rush led by Chase Young and Montez Sweat that has the ability to give any offense problems.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by recurring guest Anthony Marino of Buffalo Rumblings and Anthony provides some much-needed optimism when it comes to the Buffalo Bills after their humiliating opening week loss against the New York Jets. The guys discuss several reasons to believe Buffalo will quickly turn things around, ranging from Dalton Kincaid having an impressive debut to the defense playing well in New Jersey, Stefon Diggs already looking in Pro Bowl form and quite frankly the fact that it's nearly impossible for Josh Allen to play any worse than he did last week. They do also spend some time on a few things bothering Patrick still that are flying a bit under the radar, including limited Trent Sherfield usage, being over Cam Lewis on the field and worries about Jordan Poyer.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by friend and recurring guest Aaron Quinn (Cover 1) for the first time since mid-June, today focused on the Buffalo Bills debacle in New Jersey on Monday night and what can/needs to change with this team to not fall off from among the conference's best teams. Josh Allen was brutal against the Jets, turning the ball over four times and unfortunately the turnovers aren't an anomaly recently. Including last year's playoffs Allen now has as many interceptions (nine) as touchdown passes. Aaron has plenty of thoughts of what's going on with Josh in addition to increasingly embattled offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and offensive line that struggled to block anyone in Week one. As bad as the opener was though, it's not all gloom and doom. The guys talk about a few bright spots and factors that can and must happen for the Bills to get back on course. That plus catching up with Aaron's summer, their "Finish the Sentence" segment and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined for a second straight day by Tone Pucks to go over a ton of thoughts immediately after the Buffalo Bills completely blew a golden opportunity to open the season with a win, losing to backup quarterback Zach Wilson and the New York Jets, 22-16. Aaron Rodgers was knocked out of the game on the first drive and the Bills were up 13-3 and seemingly in control. But the Jets defense completely dominated the Bills offense, forcing Josh Allen into four turnovers. That and some head scratching play calls from Ken Dorsey has Bills fans already reeling and we got plenty to say about it. They also spend some time in "retro mode", something they'll do each week on the show, today talking the Beatles, Starsky & Hutch and Patrick's overreaction to a Bills game from 2016.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran reveals his most (and least) valuable players of the Bills training camp and preseason in addition to his biggest winners/losers from their preseason finale win over Chicago and also takes a stab at his 53-man roster projection. Trent Sherfield had a great camp and even better preseason, proving he can be counted on whether it's starting in the slot or jumping into either boundary position. Conversely Kaiir Elam saw his stock plummet and it's officially fear to worry the Bills may have a 2022 first-round bust on their hands. Patrick has thoughts on both. He also talks about stock rising for O'Cyrus Torrence and Christian Benford while thinking Andy Isabella and Baylon Spector's jobs are in significant trouble. That plus a guess at who will make the Bills final roster and more. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Substack: Patrick Moran's Substack Twitter:  @PatMoranTweets.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over the five things he's looking forward to seeing most when the Buffalo Bills wrap up their preseason in Chicago against the Bears on Saturday in addition to his review of a brand new restaurant in Hamburg, Johnson's Landing. The starters will again see the field for Buffalo in this preseason finale but that's not mostly what Patrick's locked in on. He discusses why the Tyrel Dodson vs AJ Kline battle for middle linebacker comes down to who screws it up the least, a battle for the final spot at wide receiver, Jordan Phillips seeing game action for the first time in 2023 and Kaiir Elam having one more chance to prove himself worthy of being on the field before the regular season starts. Patrick also discusses why he's good with the recent negative perception of the Bills by a few national "insiders" and reviews the food and vibes at Johnson's Landing in Hamburg. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Substack: Patrick Moran's Substack Twitter:  @PatMoranTweets.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by recurring guest Anthony Marino of Buffalo Rumblings and the focus is on a handful of Buffalo Bills topics, both good and bad that seem to be flying a bit under the radar. With the Bills worries so centered around the middle linebacker and right tackle positions, its easy to not spend as much time talking other areas of the team. Patrick and Anthony share thoughts about some struggles on the offensive line beyond just Spencer Brown and speculation that Jordan Poyer may be slowing down. They also discuss how good Trent Sherfield and Dorian Williams have looked in the preseason and how one players absence last Saturday prevented us from getting any real insight on how the Bills may use their offense. They also address Stephen A. Smith citing his sources that say Stefon Diggs would prefer to be out of Buffalo, do their regular "Finish the Sentence" segment and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over his biggest winners and losers on the heels of the Buffalo Bills going to Pittsburgh and playing (mostly) awful in their second of three preseason games. Patrick highlights three areas that were not only a sore spot in Pittsburgh on Saturday night but positions that given Bills fans credible causes for worry since the offseason began: middle linebacker, right tackle and offensive tackle depth. He also drops takes on a handful of players that definitely did not help their cause at other positions during this game, including Kaair Elam, Matt Barkley and a few wide receivers. Conversely there were definitely some bright spots to take away from the game and Patrick discusses the the starting right guard competition feeling essentially over, a good day for two wide receivers and Greg Rousseau looking solid during his playing time. In addition to more Bills observations Patrick has a few thoughts and perspective on legendary Buffalo Sabres broadcaster Rick Jeannerett passing away at the age of 81 last Thursday. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Substack: Patrick Moran's Substack Twitter:  @PatMoranTweets.

There's a few positional battles Bills fans have been tracking since the start of training camp and Saturday's game offered some clues as to where they may be going.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over his biggest winners and losers on the heels of the Buffalo Bills opening the preseason with a 23-19 victory over the Indianapolis Colts this weekend at Highmark Stadium. There was plenty to like about Buffalo on Saturday, including James Cook looking electric in his brief time on the field, a trio of unheralded wide receivers trying to make a name for themselves, a pair of offensive lineman showing some promise and of course, Matt Barkley playing himself directly into a QB2 competition. On the opposite side, Kyle Allen continues to struggle badly this summer, a linebacker has completely out of any starting competition, Kaiir Elam doesn't really take advantage of an opportunity and Khalil Shaker showed why he's capable of making great plays but equally prone to unforced mistakes. That and plenty more today. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Substack: Patrick Moran's Substack Twitter:  @PatMoranTweets.

On the offensive side of the ball Patrick has thoughts on the competition between Ryan Bates and O'Cyrus Torrence at right guard being far from formally settled although he has an idea of who he thinks will start. He also has observed great camps from Gabe Davis and James Cook while not being as high on a handful of offensive lineman and saving his harshest criticisms for the quarterbacks behind Josh Allen.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Anthony Marino of Buffalo Rumblings for their weekly chat, this time focused on some fun training camp storylines looming for the Buffalo Bills as as well as a movie review of "No Hard Feelings." There's been a lot of chatter going on with the Bills lately, not all flattering between the Stefon Diggs apparent drama with the organization and a mixed (to say the least) reaction from fans following the announced extensions of Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane. Rather than beat a dead horse the guys decide to focus on a handful of storylines that should actually be fun to watch unfold when the Bills start training camp in less than a month, including how rookie Dalton Kincaid fits into the offense right away and a potential running back battle between free agents Damien Harris and Latavius Murray.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is solo today and power ranking each of the 14 free agents Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills have signed this offseason. From likely training camp fodder to depth chart competition and a few key contributors, Patrick counts down each signing. It appears defense has dominated near the top of veteran acquisitions, with three of the top four spots landing on the defensive side of the ball. However, the eight of the 14 pickups play offense and Patrick's got plenty of thoughts on each. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Substack: Patrick Moran's Substack Twitter:  @PatMoranTweets.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, host Patrick Moran is solo today and loaded with plenty of thoughts on reports of the Buffalo Bills linked to perennial Pro Bowl players DeAndre Hopkins and Dalvin Cook before deciding on another free agent of prominence he thinks the Bills should try to lock in above either. Hopkins has directly and indirectly expressed his interest in playing for Buffalo while credible sourced reports suggest Cook would like to potentially join his little brother James with the Bills as well. Patrick elaborates on why he doesn't think either scenario is going to happen and why he doesn't think it'd be a particularly great idea anyway. From there he discusses a position he'd rather see the Bills move money around to find more help at and one player specifically. That plus a few quick thoughts on Sonny Red's and more. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Substack: Patrick Moran's Substack Twitter:  @PatMoranTweets.
