On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation to discuss a handful of Buffalo Bills & NFL topics, including a discussion on if the Bills are headed towards a Matt Milano dilemma.
The former All-Pro linebacker returned to the Bills lineup two games ago and the rust is clearly there. We’ve seen (very) small signs of how great Milano can be here and there but by large, he’s got a ways to go. The guys have a discussion on how long of a leash Sean McDermott and Bobby Babich should give Milano to see if the problem is simply rust that’ll get shaken off with more reps over the next few weeks, or if he’s going to be 2022 Tre White and 2023 Von Miller where his spot on the field is a liability, in which case they should go back to Dorian Williams for the playoffs.
They also talk about McDermott’s latest significant in-game coaching gaffe and Matt’s asked for what his confidence is in the Bills head coach. Sure, he learns from his mistakes but he also creatively finds new ones to make far too often.
Also, they spend some time just appreciating what Josh Allen brings to the team and not taking for granted how much fun it is to watch him play. That plus Patrick wonders about something in the future involving Taron Johnson, a strong Khalil Shakir comparison, the latest with the AFC and much 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.
