On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran flips what was originally going to be a Podbag episode and turns into three primarily talking points on things that could help a Buffalo Bills team that has undoubtedly been reeling the past few weeks.

The Bills won the first four games this season even though most of it wasn't pretty. Their caliber play then caught up to them in losing back to back games heading into their bye week against New England and Atlanta that has them second place in the division for the first time in what feels forever. During their slump, at least a slump by their standards several things have gone wrong. Patrick takes a few submissions submitted by listeners and turns them into equal parts talking points that can help turn around some of their biggest problems.

It's been pretty obvious the Bills haven't used their running backs enough in the passing game. After doing some research Patrick's actually blown away by how underutilized it's been. He goes over a bunch of numbers from last year and compares it to this season's pace to conclude this offense would probably get a nice boost from having James Cook, Ty Johnson and Ray Davis more involved in the air game.

Also, there's been a ton of Keon Coleman discourse over the past few weeks. Patrick dives into that as well and concludes that what's best for the Buffalo offense may not be best for Keon personally. That plus what's the most simple and achievable way for the defense to start playing much better as they come back from their bye and much more.
