The 10 Best Current Buffalo Bills

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran dives into his updated ranking of the top 10 current Buffalo Bills players, discusses why certain stars narrowly missed the cut, and shares a passionate response to a frustrating local restaurant experience that sparked plenty of social media debate. Patrick breaks down why players like Josh Allen, James Cook, Christian Benford and Greg Rousseau are foundational pieces for Buffalo heading into 2026, while also explaining why rising talents like Khalil Shakir and Cole Bishop continue trending upward. The episode also touches on expectations surrounding new additions like DJ Moore and the impact new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard could have on Buffalo’s defensive identity this season. Later, Patrick opens up about a disappointing chicken finger review experience at Big Tree Inn, explaining why customer service—not just the food—led to one of his harshest public reviews to date. Key Takeaways Josh Allen remains the unquestioned centerpiece of the Buffalo Bills and could elevate himself into all-time NFL quarterback conversations with another MVP-caliber season. James Cook officially emerged as a league-wide star after leading the NFL in rushing and becoming one of Buffalo’s few true offensive game breakers. Cole Bishop and Christian Benford are viewed as major defensive building blocks entering the 2026 season. DJ Moore gives Buffalo a legitimate man-coverage weapon, something Patrick believes the offense badly needed. Patrick explains why customer service matters just as much as food quality when reviewing restaurants.
