Should There Be A Bills Playoff Preference?

On today's episode of Talking Buffalo, the first of 2026 Patrick Moran discusses why he doesn't truly have a preference for who the Buffalo Bills will end up playing in the wild card round of the AFC playoffs next week in addition to having a little fun with who should be "Leading the Charge" for the Bills in their last ever regular season home game at Highmark Stadium this Sunday.Happy New Year everyone! It's not that Patrick is either afraid of the Bills facing any particular opponent in the playoffs this year nor is he overconfident against anyone either, he just doesn't think there's a major advantage or disadvantage to facing one specific team. Patrick goes over each of the possibilities and why it could be a good---or bad match up for the Bills.  It also wouldn't be the least surprising if the Bills come out of the AFC and get to their first Super Bowl of this current regime, nor would it be the least bit shocking if they lost by two scores to anyone in the first round. Patrick feels that may be true this year more than any of the past six.Also, the tradition of leading the charge for a former Bills alumni comes to an end along with the stadium. Patrick posed the question of who should be leading the charge on Twitter earlier this week and got some great (if not predictable) answers. He also then asked for wrong answers only and there were doozies. He shares those and plenty more.Here's to a great 2026 friends!Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar. Hurt in a car, call William Mattar. 444-4444.
