Buffalo Sports Teams Are Riding High

Talking Buffalo

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective to discuss the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres and University at Buffalo football are riding high as we get close to the end of 2024.

Most expected the Bills to be in the mix among the AFC top teams going into the season. However, few expected them to essentially have the AFC east locked away before Thanksgiving and be at least arguably one of the top two or three teams in NFL. The guys examine several factors that've allowed the Bills to start the season 9-2 and be very much in play for the top seed in the AFC.

The Sabres started the season with just one win in their first six games but have since turned things around rather dramatically, including a three-game California road sweep this past week. PK has a lot of thoughts on the job Lindy Ruff's doing in his second run as Sabres head coach in addition to multiple offseason acquisitions keying the Sabres recent surge.

UB football is in on the act as well this season, rebounding from 3-9 last year to 7-4 with an outside of chance of playing for the MAC championship and almost certainly headed towards a bowl game regardless. The guys talk about first-year head coach Pete Lembo being a central figure in UB's rise and Shaun Dolac becoming one of the best linebackers in the nation.

That plus Thanksgiving's just a few days away and plenty more.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
