Explaining The Josh Allen Rub

Explaining The Josh Allen Rub

Author: Blue Wire March 23, 2026 Duration: 1:22:03

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several Buffalo Bills and Sabres topics, including an explanation of what the "Josh Allen Rub" is and means in addition to noticing Sabres fandom is as alive as it's been in 20 years.

Most wrestling fans know what the terms "getting the rub" and "go away heat" mean. Joe recently used those wrestling terms to tie into a blog post about the Bills MVP quarterback in addition to Bills general manager Brandon Beane. Joe explains exactly what he meant by it and how the Bills have used Allen in situations to gain popularity points.,

The guys also talk about the Bills offseason to this point so far, with Joe arriving at that the team has done a pretty good job but many fans don't see it because they're mad at Beane. Meanwhile, Patrick is looking at a defense that is badly (very badly) lacking depth not to mention a questionable starter or two currently at the top of the team's depth chart.

Also, the Sabres remain ridiculously hot and Patrick's noticed a huge trend of fans sporting Sabres game recently at bars, restaurants and basically everywhere. It's been a long time coming and wonderful to see. That plus Joe's binging The Pitt and plenty more.
