Biggest Bills Differences From Last Season

Biggest Bills Differences From Last Season

Author: Blue Wire August 25, 2025 Duration: 1:38:38

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Bills and other topics, including taking a look at the biggest differences with this season's Bills team compared to last year.

The Bills won their fifth consecutive AFC east title, had the second seed in the conference and made it to the AFC championship game last season. While Patrick isn't quite prediction Buffalo will repeat last season's accolades and perhaps take it even further, he does think this season's roster looks more promising than last year and points out four major reasons why. How much does Joe disagree with Patrick's takes?

Also, the guys discuss Joe's general assessment that the preseason means nothing beyond injuries and Patrick says that theory will get put to the test over the next few days as we find out if wide receiver Tyrell Shavers makes the Bills 53-man roster.

Additionally, undrafted free agent Shaun Dolac shined with the Rams this summer and is going to make their roster. Naturally it's pissed off a lot of Buffalo fans who were very familiar with Dolac and think Brandon Beane made a big mistake not drafting him. That plus Joe's Mt. Flushmore of the worst plays ever at Highmark Stadium, a new segment Patrick debuts and plenty more.
