On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation to go over a list of things that could be regarded as the Buffalo Bills biggest fears going into the 2025 season beyond of course just injuries.

The Bills are once again significantly favored to win the AFC East for what would be a sixth straight time and poised to once again challenge for a Super Bowl. As of this recording their the lone team in the NFL favored to win every game they play this season. While optimism is as high as it absolutely should be, that's not to say there isn't fears or perhaps even a couple doubts that hang over this team.

Among them discussed is the possibility, even if distinct that after eight years as Bills head coach, Sean McDermott's message to the team could start getting a little stale. There's also the possibility that first-round pick Maxwell Hairston isn't quite ready to to take the reigns as starting cornerback to begin the season, which could lead to a potentially shaky Tre White being responsible out there.

There's also reason to be concern that with DaQuan Jones' best days behind him, his production could fall off a cliff in 2025 without anyone proven ready to step in. Also, Joey Bosa is anything but a lock to be ready to go let alone doing so at full speed. Plus, will the laws of gravity catch up to Buffalo?

The guys also spend a little time talking about some topics from around the league, with Matt forecasting an early prediction for NFL MVP if it can't be Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes. That plus an early NFL Rookie of the Year projection, who will be the league's best unrestricted free agent signing this season and much more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Diegert from the Due Champions podcast to discuss a handful of topics, including a potential very big week looming for the Buffalo Sabres as well as some Bills talk.

Matt's co-host of the Due Champions podcast alongside his partner Student Body Right. Together they've been banging on some really good Bills content for quite a while and their list of notable guests has been quite impressive. Patrick spends a few minutes getting to know Matt and their show a little bit and discusses the charity event they had in Hamburg over the weekend Patrick attended that included several notable athletes, including Harrison Phillips, Jim Kelly and Aaron Williams.

The central theme of today's episode is hockey and more specifically the Sabres. The Stanley Cup is over and the NHL draft is this coming in Friday, with free agency barely a week away. It's imperative the Sabres make a trade or preferably multiple trades, because it's (highly) unlikely any free agent of value is going to want to sign with Buffalo without getting potentially grossly overpaid. The guys talk about what an important time of year this is for a team that's desperate to rid itself of the historic 14-year playoff drought they're stuck in.

They also spend some time talking about the Bills. What are a few things Matt's locked in on as the team gets ready for training camp a few weeks from now in Rochester? That and much more. Be sure to follow Matt on Twitter @MattDiegert and check out the Due Champions podcast.

Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several topics, including learning about some Buffalo Bills historic team fun facts we're betting you didn't know and ranking all the Buffalo Bills 2025 home games from a visiting perspective.

With just a few weeks to go before the Bills start training camp in Rochester let's be honest---there really isn't much to discuss about the 2025 team at the moment that hasn't been already. But that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun. Patrick drops a series of statistical fun facts about the Bills from the past to see if Joe or anyone listening had any idea.

Also, we previously covered ranking the 2025 Bills road trips on an episode. Today Patrick tasks Joe with ranking the Bills 2025 home schedule as games someone who doesn't live in Western New York would want to to travel to with a handful of factors like opponent, weather, time of year included.

In addition, Joe's Mt. Flushmore this week revolves around the worst offseason content. That plus Joe thinks Sabres fans are being reminded of the Chris Drury/Daniel Briere fiasco again, Patrick's True or False segment and tons more.
