On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren (SB Nation) to discuss the Buffalo Bills and more specifically, dissect some of the worst decisions of Brandon Beane through his tenure so far as Bills general manager.

So it's clear in the show notes just as it was said repeatedly on the podcast---this is not meant to be an indictment of Beane. The guys both think by and large Beane has done a fantastic job not just building the Bills roster but keeping them in a position to consistently challenge for a championship every season. He's made a lot more good decisions than bad ones. That said, the guys are diggig into and discussing the latter.

From three early round draft picks who flamed out quickly, to a handful of free agent signings that didn't turn out the way Beane hoped, a few regretful contract extensions and a pair of trades Beane probably wishes he had back, Beane's not above being criticized.

They also discuss the offseasons of two AFC rivals, Baltimore and Cincinnati.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several topics, including a full examination of everything Brandon Beane has done as Buffalo Bills GM when it comes to the rostering of wide receivers.

Last week was a pretty controversial one for Beane after he went on WGR and immediately got after radio hosts Jeremy White and Joe Dibiase for Beane considers a lot of complaining about the Bills not doing enough at wide receiver. Besides discussing Beane's radio appearance and attitude regarding the issue, the guys dive into every move that Beane has made when it comes to wide receiver since becoming the general manager in 2017. They go through the list and discuss every receiver the Bills have drafted, signed as a free agent or traded for under the Beane regime. Spoiler alert---Patrick's more impressed with the history and list than Joe is.

They also talk about Beane's most recent one-on-one interview with Tyler Dunne over at Go Long and are yet again impressed with Dunne's ability to not only get Beane for a full hour sit down but several pretty candid if not tough questions asked by Dunne in the piece.

That plus Joe's True or False segment, another Patrick Mt. Flushmore edition and tons more.

It’s another edition of The Podbag on this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran responds to questions, comments and takes submitted by fans, consisting this week of all Buffalo Bills and including where the 2024 Bills draft class stands one year later.

It’s near impossible to tell if a draft class will ultimately pan out well or not after just one year and this past one was no exception, but there’s certainly clues. Patrick discusses how opportunity still knocks big time for the first two picks, Keon Coleman and Cole Bishop and how they could carry roles significant to the success of the 2025 Bills. Conversely, even after just one year it’s getting harder to see a clear path for third round pick Dewayne Carter getting consistent playing time after Brandon Beane traded up for defensive tackles two times in the first four rounds last week. Ray Davis seems pretty locked into the same role he had in 2024, at least for this season while the others from the 2024 class are pretty locked into roster depth, though Patrick has some decently high hopes for Javon Solomon.

Also, the Bills signed wide receiver Elijah Moore on Wednesday and Patrick thinks it’s a very good move, especially for this time of the offseason. It also alleviates or at least should some of the frustration of the Bills not taking a wide receiver before the seventh round last week and let’s not forget—Moore just turned 25 years old.

Patrick also responds to takes involving first-round cornerback Max Hairston, people who think trading up for TJ Sanders was dumb, if Damar Hamlin’s roster spot could be in trouble and some perhaps going overboard on the Kansas City praising. That plus a few thoughts on yesterday’s show with Bills superfan Tommy Parzymieso and much more.
