On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News to discuss Micah Hyde signing to the Buffalo Bills practice squad and also revisiting some summer Bills talking points in addition to ranting on the Buffalo Sabres after their epic home ice meltdown Tuesday night.It had been rumored going all the way back to training camp and finally became a reality on Tuesday as longtime Bills safety Micah Hyde officially signed with the Bills practice squad. On the surface it seems the 33-year old will be more of a factor with his leadership off the field than on it. Jay has thoughts on whether it'll take an injury(s) to see Hyde end up actually playing for the Bills, what he thinks he brings to the table this late in the season and what if anything it means for Damar Hamlin.The guys also revisit Jay being on the show alongside Nate Geary shortly before the Bills regular season starting and talking about how one of the best things the team had going for them was a lot of people counting them out, not to mention Josh Allen being voted the most overrated player in the NFL. Spoiler alert---he's not and just won another AFC Offensive Player of the Week award as well.Jay may cover the Bills for a living but he's also a Sabres fan and frustrated one at that. They go over that historic Buffalo home collapse against Colorado a few nights ago, the first time in franchise history the Sabres blew a 4-0 lead at home. Among other things, Jay talks about feeling sorry for head coach Lindy Ruff. That and plenty more!You can follow Jay on Twitter @JaySkurski and be sure to support local journalism by subscribing to The Buffalo News.Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium.
