Beane, McDermott Presser Bills Reactions, Plus Sabres Talk

Beane, McDermott Presser Bills Reactions, Plus Sabres Talk

Author: Blue Wire January 31, 2025 Duration: 1:18:13

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Chris Ostrander from Two in the Box blog and The Instigator Podcast to react to Buffalo Bills season ending press conferences from Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott in addition to discussing a Buffalo Sabres team Chris covers closely.

Chris is a very well respected blogger and podcaster in the Sabres community in addition to being plenty knowledgeable about the Bills and all things Buffalo, sports and otherwise. It's his first time doing Talking Buffalo and Patrick's excited because he's always been a fan of Chris' work.

Both Beane and McDermott spoke at length with the media on Thursday morning/afternoon and the guys react to what was said. As expected there wasn't any gasp worthy statements from either general manager or coach, but there's some lines that could be read between and both Patrick and Chris share opinions on what was said and their feelings about the team right now.

With Bills season over it's time to start devoting more attention to the Sabres (for better and worse) and that's a big reason why Patrick has Chris on. He kind of gives casual fans who've been all-in on the BIlls but transitioning over to the Sabres more now an update on what's been going on with the team this season and spoiler alert---it's been a disaster. They talk about Lindy Ruff, how this team is dead last in the Eastern Conference, a big trade target, why they stink so bad at home, if Keyvn Adams will/should be GM at the trade deadline, how quickly this team can realistically turn things around and tons more.

Be sure to follow Chris on X at @2ITB_Buffalo and check out the Two in the Box blog in addition to the Instigator Podcast.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
