On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss a variety of topics, including Patrick trying to build the perfect 53-man all-time roster that includes several factors and Joe objecting to a handful of the choices.
Based on fit and in at a handful of cases, the ability to play special teams all weighed heavily at times into some of Patrick's decision on what would be his perfect Bills all-time roster. Some of the players and positions leave room for debate, but there's a handful of guys Joe objects to being on in favor of others who he considered snubbed, a list that includes James Lofton, Thomas Smith and Jerry Hughes. Also, Joe doesn't think Jim Kelly should be on the roster and after giving his reasoning, it actually makes a lot of sense. A handful of Patrick's choice are based on special teams ability, including Steve Tasker, Mark Pike and Sam Rogers.
Also, the guys have a conversation based on their kids that stems from a recent episode involving Bulldog from WGR and his son Owen. That plus Joe's Mt. Flushmore of worst Highmark Stadium moments that have nothing to do with the games and tons more.
