Bills Positional Analysis & Tons Of McBeane Fallout

Bills Positional Analysis & Tons Of McBeane Fallout

Author: Blue Wire January 21, 2026 Duration: 1:18:11

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by SB Nation's Matt Warren to go over positional analysis from the Buffalo Bills heartbreaking playoff loss in Denver last weekend in addition to discussing some of the fallout already pouring in from Sean McDermott being fired while Brandon Beane retained his job and got a promotion as well.

The craziness around the McDermott firing and Beane staying almost makes you forget about the game in Denver Saturday that possibly led to it. Not the case for Patrick and Matt though. As they've done every week throughout the season and finish up with today, they go through the Bills positionally, talk about what went right and wrong for the game before Matt ultimately assigns his grade for each.

From there it's all about the news of McBeane divorcing and the immediate fallout. The guys have plenty of their own thoughts on why things went the way they did and if they agree with it. They also go over some of the articles, stories and rumors about what led to where we're at today.

That plus who Matt would like to see be the next Bills head coach, a little talk of what's to come soon and plenty more.
