Bills Film Study & PFF Grades Biggest Takeaways, Week 17

Bills Film Study & PFF Grades Biggest Takeaways, Week 17

Author: Blue Wire January 3, 2024 Duration: 42:54

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is offering his thoughts and biggest takeaways after watching the All-22 film and pouring through the PFF grades from the Buffalo Bills six point victory over New England this past weekend before turning his full attention to a quite literally critical showdown with Miami in game No. 272 of the NFL season this Sunday night.

Some of Patrick's conclusions and takeaways include it being time for Joe Brady to have Latavius Murray take a seat and find a way to get Khalil Shakir a little more engaged in the passing game as doing so springs good results. He also raves about Gregory Rousseau's great game, Jordan Poyer's performance being a great example of why PFF grades can be really stupid, a few lineup surprises and some flowers tossed the way of Bills punter Sam Martin.

Of course all roads lead to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami this Sunday night with the AFC east and numbet two seed on the line---not to mention the realistic possibility of Buffalo missing the playoffs entirely. Patrick's got some thoughts on that and much more.

There's a particular kind of passion that comes from following Buffalo sports, a mix of unwavering hope and hardened realism that Talking Buffalo captures perfectly. Hosted by Buffalo-born Patrick Moran, this Blue Wire podcast dives deep into the heart of the city's teams, with a primary focus on the emotional rollercoasters provided by the Bills and Sabres. Patrick doesn't just report on games; he lives them, offering a perspective that can swing from critical skepticism to full-blown optimism in a single conversation. That authentic, sometimes self-deprecating fan voice is exactly what drives each episode. The show regularly features interviews with guests from across the sports world, media, and even pop culture, providing unique angles and insider insights you won't find elsewhere. It’s this blend of local passion, candid analysis, and diverse conversations that gives the podcast its character. You'll hear the highs, the lows, and all the gritty commentary in between, all filtered through the experience of someone who truly understands what it means to invest in these teams. For anyone who bleeds blue and red or simply appreciates the complex narrative of a sports city, Talking Buffalo feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable, and admittedly opinionated, friend.
