On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren from SB Nation to react to plenty of noteworthy Buffalo Bills items stemming from the NFL Meetings in Phoenix, Arizona this week.

Bills general manager spoke to the media on Monday and shortly thereafter made an appearance on Pat MacAfee. There's plenty for the guys to react from among things Beane discussed, including the Bills officially exercising the fifth-year option on Dalton Kincaid's contract, ensuring the tight end will be here for at least two more years and with a guaranteed $8.1 million salary for 2027. Do the guys agree this move was a no brainer?

Also, even after trading for DJ Moore, Beane said that potentially taking a wide receiver in the first round of the draft with the 26th pick was still on the table. He also said that he's had conversations with free agent wide receiver Brandin Cooks but the team and Cooks will both likely to see how the draft for Buffalo and other teams fall before either makes a decision about him possibly coming back.

Beane also talked about cornerback Dorian Strong now in the recovery phrase of a neck surgery that has his playing future uncertain. That plus Beane's thoughts on a potential 18-game NFL season in the near future, where the guys are at right now when it comes to the draft and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by blogger and podcast Chris Ostrander to discuss a handful of Buffalo Sabres and Bills topics, including a few fixable but nonetheless late season issues creeping into the Sabres as they get ready to embark on a playoff run soon.

Just saying the Sabres are readying to embark on a playoff run is amazing given where this team was at in early December not to mention the previous 14 seasons. They're not exactly "struggling" either as the season winds down but in the interest of staying objective, there's a handful of things going on that could be concerning. The guys discuss some, including the third line defense that seems significantly worse without Zach Metsa in the lineup, some leaky goaltending from Alex Lyon, a handful of offensive players struggling a little bit and penalty kill unit that's gotten destroyed two times in the past eight days.

Also, Chris is asked which team is closer to winning a championship right now--the Sabres or Bills?

Speaking of the Bills they're discussed too and Patrick explains why he's starting to very much get behind taking a wide receiver with their first round pick. That plus will Lindy Ruff stay on with the Sabres after this season and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Bills topics, including evaluating each of Brandon Beane's free agent classes since becoming GM of the team in 2018.

While not a fan of Beane in general, Joe has confessed to liking what the Bills have done so far since free agent season began earlier this month. It got the guys wondering and then researching of Beane's offseason classes and where this one stacks up.

Also, the Bills re-signed Damar Hamlin this week and a few sarcastic tweets from Patrick set off a firestorm of criticism from the Damar truthers. Patrick responds to all of it.

Meanwhile, the somewhat slumping Buffalo Sabres won a shootout game against Seattle on Saturday that even if it actually wasn't----it felt like a "must win" type of game. The guys discuss it, where it feels the team is at as we get ready for the playoffs and much more.
