On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by sports broadcaster Steve Bermel for tons of live reaction not long after the Buffalo Bills (barely) survived the hapless Cleveland Browns, 23-20 in a game marred by sloppy if not sometimes pathetic play from the Bills. Also, the Buffalo Sabres are suddenly scorching hot.The Buffalo defense did it usually sleepwalking through the start of the game as Cleveland scored a touchdown on their first drive, but Buffalo seemingly took control with touchdowns on their first three possessions. However, they scored just three points on their last six full drives and got a few great plays from the defense--and a few lucky breaks along the way to preserve the win. Patrick and Steve have tons of reaction from this slopfest both good and bad.Among the biggest subjects discussed is Greg Rousseau finally carrying the defense on their back when they needed it most in addition to Matt Milano, Jordan Poyer and Tre White continuing to turn back the clock. Meanwhile on the other side of the ball, Josh Allen did some good things but also a few untimely bad throws and certainly wasn't helped by inexcusable drops from Brandin Cooks and Dawson Knox. The guys have thoughts on this and other team matters.They also spend some time talking about the surging Buffalo Sabres, who faced off in New Jersey Sunday night for their sixth win in a row, the longest winning streak in the NHL. In doing so they're building optimism that the team can turn things around and get back into contention. That and plenty more.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.
