The Process - A Buffalo sports podcast

Did the Bills draft a single starter? Time will tell, but they appear to be focusing on depth for their rookie class. Traits and athleticism were targeted over production, but if the new players can sit and learn before being forced onto the field, maybe that bodes well for the future.  The Sabres missed a chance to close out the Bruins, but still lead the series as it heads back to Boston. Who ar...

The guys are back breaking down the good from Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the bad from Game 2. They also take some time to discuss what the Bills might do at 26th in the draft. Do they trade out or make the pick? Follow the Process Podcast on X at @The_Processpod

Hang the banner. The Sabres are division champions. The 109 points gave them the 5th-best points percentage in franchise history. They're for real. And no one would've believed in August, but they're division champs and the Bills aren't. The Sabres get the Bruins in the first round and should be favored, though their lack of playoff experience and slumping power play could hold them back.

Our long national nightmare is over. The Sabres, owners of the longest playoff drought in NHL history, are back in the postseason. WIVB's Jonah Bronstein chats about how far this team can go, and we also hit St. Bonaventure hoops at the end.

Bills DC Jim Leonhard is bringing 3-4 principles to Buffalo. What does it mean for the current players, and what needs might arise? News 4's Carl Jones, a former Syracuse football player, joins us to discuss. We also talked Team USA's gold medal in men's hockey at the end. 

Joe Yerdon of Bleacher Report and Noted Hockey joins The Process to talk about Team USA men's ice hockey's Olympic outlook for Milan. USA has only won two medals since 1980, both silver, but might have their best shot at gold since. We also touched on the Sabres at the end. 

You already know the Bills have a new head coach. We have some takes. 

Sean McDermott is out. Brandon Beane got promoted. Don't worry, we're still going to be The Process.

The Bills head to the thin air in Denver to face the #1 Broncos on short rest ... but Buffalo's strengths might match up well with the few shortcomings Denver's defense has. Nick and Charlie see a tight game ahead.

Can the Bills survive a trip to Jacksonville, or will their worst qualities bite them again? This has been a frustrating season of grinding out ugly wins, but the Bills tallied 12 of them. They haven't been playing to their potential on offense. Will they be able to figure it out in a playoff game? We're hoping their experience lifts them in a shootout. 

Remember when Joe Brady's seat was getting hot and the Sabres were stuck in last place? All I know since yesterday is everything has changed. 

Kevyn Adams is out, Jarmo Kekalainen is in. Drake Maye is ... well, he's still in the MVP race, but you better believe Josh Allen is too. The Bills huge comeback made a statement, as did a change in leadership for the hockey team that isn't dead yet. 

The Bills overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Bengals, thanks in large part to Christian Benford's second straight game with a defensive touchdown and Josh Allen's alien ability. Now, the Bills look to end the Patriots' 10-game win streak and keep their AFC East title hopes alive.

Yikes, another bad game for the Bills. Seats have to start feeling hotter as the offense continues to struggle. A loss this week to Pittsburgh could put the Bills on the outside of the playoff race and lead to bigger changes.

Ugh, what a gross week. The Bills didn't show up, the weather sucked, and the Sabres were the Sabres. Let's all try to do better, shall we?

This week Nick and Charlie discuss the big win against the KC Chiefs, the big offense performance, and the stars of the defense. The guys also talk about the trade deadline that wasn't. Will the lack of moves hurt Buffalo? Do the Bills have the answer to the offense in house? Find out on this weeks episode of The Process Podcast.

We got through an entire Chiefs episode without mentioning Taylor Swift. The Bills were the Panthers father figure last week in a 40-9 beatdown, but fans need to hope the passing game isn't cancelled Sunday for another meeting with the Patrick Mahomes' resurgent offense. Later, Charlie shares his wish list for the trade deadline, as well as a Jack Eichel reference that could ruin the friendship. 

This week Nick and Charlie chat about their game day experience in ATL! What’s wrong with the Bills? Where can they look to address before the trade deadline. 

The Saints game was uncomfortably close, but it's a game we won't remember come playoff time. The Bills and the Eagles are the only teams that got out of September without a blemish on their record. Where do they go from here? Drake Maye and the Patriots come to town for a Sunday Night Football matchup. 

The Bills are 3-0. The rest of the AFC East is 1-8. The division feels like a given already. What about the 1 seed?

The Jets stink. The Dolphins might too. It's just another day dropping 30 points ... don't let this get old. Also: Josh Allen drops a Mangia reference, trying to remember the Dolphins last win in Buffalo, and Chiefs players wear dumb t-shirts. 

Phewwww, what a game. The Bills' historic 41-40 comeback win against the Ravens in Week 1 was a game for the ages that kicked off the stadium's final season in style. The Bills have plenty to fix on defense ... but let's worry about that later and keep soaking in the afterglow of one of the best wins Bills have ever seen.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen was the star of the show on the first episode of HBO's Hard Knocks, but Tre'Davious White nearly stole the spotlight. Charlie and Nick catch you up on the first episode of the season and highlight some camp news ahead of the first preseason game against Brian Daboll's Giants. 

Chad DeDominicis of the hockey analytics site Expected Buffalo joins Charlie and Nick to talk Sabres ahead of the draft and the start of free agency on July 1. Kevyn Adams and the Sabres have work to do to end their record playoff drought, and it has already stated in earnest following the trade of JJ Peterka. Follow Chad on Twitter/X @CMDeDominicis.

This week Nick and Charlie discuss the Buffalo Bills victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The guys also dive into the AFC championship and what the bills must do right to earn a trip to the Super Bowl!
