1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: in the strated behere of normalcy. Here we are on

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: a Tuesday one, Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

6
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: ready to rock and roll and move into Week seventeen,

7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: which is no longer the final regular season week of

8
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: the year. There will be a Week eighteen next week.

9
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: So if you haven't had enough of football, don't worry.

10
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: There's plenty more coming your way before we even get

11
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: to the postseason. Right, and if you haven't heard, the

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins are now in the playoffs, Bills if the

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: season Dolphins today, Yes, they snuck in last night with

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: a win over the page of the Saints twenty two three.

15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: They beat them, and now there's three AFC East teams

16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And the Patriots played the Dolphins Week

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: eighteen after playing them on Week one, where the Dolphins

18
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: came out with a single point victory. Right. I believe

19
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: there was some debate in NFL circles as to whether

20
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: that game should have been moved back because the Saints

21
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: basically were on their fourth string quarterback. Ian Book made

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: his first career start the former Notre Dame QB and

23
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: on their fourth quarterback. They were missing over a dozen players. Yeah,

24
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: and the quality of the on field product last night suffered. Yeah.

25
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: I couldn't watch it. The Saints were in non competitive offensively,

26
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: couldn't watch Defensively, they were okay, twenty points. It's kind

27
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: of a regular game, but it was you just got

28
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: the feeling that there was just no way they were

29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: going to be able to get a first down. Not

30
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: first down, right, I mean, is that where you were too, Brownie.

31
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't watch it was na. I watched it for

32
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: a minute. I was like, they can't even I mean,

33
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: and let me tell you this. It wasn't this kid,

34
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: Book's fault. He did a little play actions continue to drop.

35
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: It got to the top of his drop and there

36
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: were two, not to one, not like a free rusher,

37
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: two lineman coming from both sides, and they were like

38
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: on him. He's like, I believe I saw this. I

39
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: read this correctly, or remember this correctly. The Miami Dolphins

40
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: are the first team to have a six game losing

41
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: streak and a six game or a more winning streak

42
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: in the same season. I think it's seven and seven,

43
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: wasn't it. I don't did they lose so seven and seven? Yes,

44
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: seven and seven, seven and seven. That's pretty remarkable, pretty remarkable.

45
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: And in the span of a week, the AFC North

46
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: has gone from having three teams in the playoffs or no,

47
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: they had two in and two just outside, to having

48
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: just one, which is Cincinnati. As the AFC East now

49
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: has three teams in position to reach the postseason. I

50
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: will say I think Miami's gonna have a tough go

51
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: of it here to stay in the hunt or to

52
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: stay in the playoff picture. They have Tennessee this week

53
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: in New England next week. Not easy, and I mean

54
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: they win twenty to three last night, but two of

55
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: throws for under two hundred yards. You know, they get

56
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown on defense on a pick six. It's just

57
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if they got enough to make it

58
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: in Well, the Saints do have a pretty stellar defense,

59
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: but you know they're not they were. Yeah, it was

60
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: a one side. It was like it was like a

61
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: closed practice last night in Tennessee this week playing the

62
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins still have the one seat to chase. They're only

63
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: a game back of the Chiefs, so I think they're

64
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: going to be playing hard. They haven't clinched their division yet,

65
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: which they would, you know, like to do because Indianapolis

66
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: is only a game back and with two to play,

67
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: they need to win this week to clinch the division

68
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: and then they would get it because they have the

69
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: head to head edge on the Colts, having swept that

70
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. Yeah, Tennessee ends up with Miami

71
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: then Houston, so if you know they're they're thinking two

72
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: and oh going to an oh at this point to

73
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: finish the season, which you know isn't unusual. Steve, I

74
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: forgot to mention yesterday we got all wrapped up in

75
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, Buffalo victory Monday, gigantic win for the Bills.

76
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: Totally get it your Christmas weekend. Okay, all things considered,

77
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: how did it go? Oh? Good? It was really good.

78
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I I mean it ended on a good note obviously

79
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: with the Bills winning. Yeah, we had you know, the

80
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: whole houseful of grandkids and yeah, sons and wives and

81
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: all that, and yeah, big big crop. But you know,

82
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a it's a blessing, no question,

83
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: It's a good thing because I got seven grandkids. They're

84
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: all really really comfy in my house. Right, they've been

85
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: there a ton, right, so they are local, so they've

86
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: all been in my house. Right. So they come in

87
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: and they're like they bust in the doors. They're like hey, OK.

88
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: And they're in every room. They're in every room. So

89
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: it looks like literally somebody picked my house up, shook

90
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: it and set it back down. Turn your house into

91
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: a snow. The furniture's moved, there's everything's off the shelves,

92
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: the toys are literally just dumped, you know, plants knocked over,

93
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: it's everything. I mean, it is like every roomers, it's listen.

94
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: And that was like that's the first ten minutes. And

95
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: then you know, you start opening presence and all that,

96
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: and I'm you know, they and paper everything, and it's like,

97
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, kids are when they're comfortable in the house,

98
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: they're like they were loud right there. Everyone we're trying to,

99
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, have some conversation whatever. So at the end

100
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: of the night, and it was early, I mean it

101
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: was like, you know, it wasn't a late night because

102
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: they had to go home and get to bed at

103
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: a reasonable hour because none of them are over six

104
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: years old. They leave, and my youngest son who's back,

105
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: he's twenty four, twenty three, so he's or twenty four.

106
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: He's just had a college about twenty four. And my

107
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: wife and I are in the house and we're the

108
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: only ones there and they leave, they all and you know,

109
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: getting out of the house, it's like car seats and

110
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: diaper bags and strollers and boots and hats and me

111
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: cars everything. It's like and they're crying and wailing and

112
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: laughing and running away and it's just like, ah, they

113
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: finally get out. They all they drive away the house.

114
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: My son and I look at each other, my wife

115
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: and the house is just rashed, and we're sitting there,

116
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: were looking at each other and it was silent. It

117
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: was like, oh that was a lot, Oh my gosh, classed.

118
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: We just left. We just went to bed. Left it,

119
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: got up the next day and kind of made a

120
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: dent in it to get it back in order. It

121
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: was like that, that's that was it. Now. It was great.

122
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, but what about you h

123
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,520

134
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: reminded me of when I was in the Christmas pageant

135
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: watching these things. Yeah, you know, and uh God bless

136
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: the Sunday school teachers because they got so much work

137
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: to do just keeping these kids on task, in line,

138
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: staying patient, you know, the whole, the whole nine about

139
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: six shepherds running up, you know, you know they're they're

140
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: doing the reading, you know, shepherds which keeping watch over

141
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: their flock by night, that whole thing. Shepherds come in.

142
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: There's like three kids whacking each other with their stats.

143
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: You know, the shepherds stats are dangerous. They're whacking each other.

144
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: It's like it barely got up to the altar. They're

145
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: whacking each other, and the wise men stroll up the

146
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: one kid, the one. So they're telling these kids. You

147
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: can hear them in the back, hey, walk, you know,

148
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: make sure you're walking. It's but it's a long run.

149
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: This is a pretty big church. It's a long run

150
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: to the front. It's probably like sixty seventy yards. I

151
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: mean it's a long church. No, but it's it's a

152
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: long run. Man, maybe maybe forty yards. So it's a

153
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: long run though for a little kid, that's a long run.

154
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: Lace kid can't help himself. He's pumped, you know, one

155
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: of the three wise men, I don't know who it was,

156
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: but he starts taking off into Yeah, he's into a

157
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: trot and trotting in a robe is not a smart idea.

158
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: We got a total wipe out, you know, about halfway

159
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: halfway picking him up and trying to get him on

160
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: his merry way. So that happens. Then we have the

161
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: singer singing the songs, you know, a lot of the

162
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: familiar Christmas time songs. I you know, I'm not trying

163
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: to bag on anybody because I can't sing worth a lick.

164
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: But this woman, an older woman, I don't know if

165
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: she was a last minute replacement. Maybe, you know, maybe

166
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: maybe the people that were scheduled to sing somehow could

167
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: make it. Maybe God forbid that came down with an

168
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: illness or something. She was struggling like not only to sing,

169
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: but apparently to remember the words. Well, she didn't have

170
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: a book Oh come, Well, A lot of in these

171
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: in a lot of these churches, the hymnals are all

172
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: gone because of COVID, and you don't want to people

173
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: touching the same thing every week, And a lot of

174
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: the churches have put the screens up with the word Well.

175
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: This church didn't have that, So I don't know if

176
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: she had a hymnal. Now I was sitting too far

177
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: back to see Oh come, oh you faithful gets us

178
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: through the first verse. You know, everybody pretty much knows

179
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: the first verse of Oh come on you faithful. Second

180
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: verse comes, and I'm gonna tell you right now, I

181
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: don't know the words by heart to the second verse,

182
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: let alone the third of the fourth. And we don't

183
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: have a hymnal, So you know, we're kind of at

184
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: the mercy of the singer upfront. So she's doing the

185
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: second verse, she forgets it too. And the reason I

186
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: know this is because you know, she starts saying and

187
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: then she goes, dude, do do do dude? And I

188
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: look at my wife and I said, she looks at me.

189
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: She goes, I don't know what's going on. I was like,

190
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: we forgot, Oh, come, are you faithful? What the what's

191
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: going on? What are you? So she forgot the words

192
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: to that one. There was another one later in the service.

193
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: She couldn't remember either. She didn't do doo doo doo

194
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: doo doo. She just kind of hummed. She scraped the

195
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: doodoo doo and went to the hum Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

196
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: It's like I was like, where are we right now?

197
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: And then it got it got rough, like middle portions.

198
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: Even the priest stepped in to kind of join her,

199
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: to help her along a little bit. It was a

200
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: rough go man. It was a rough go man. So

201
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: oh life looks at me. She goes, we're getting ready

202
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: for community. My wife looks at me, she goes, grab

203
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: your coat, We're out after community. I was like, whoa wow,

204
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: is one of that. Yeah, you know, she sets she

205
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: sets a high bar for Christmas time. You know, you

206
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: gotta meet it. So that was that was interesting to

207
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: say the least. I know, it's never happened before because

208
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the Christmas masses, you know, you know

209
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: the church, they're pulling out all the stops because that's

210
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: when you get those once a year people trying to

211
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: rope them in. So you have a nice entertaining Christmas nis. Yeah,

212
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: Christmas and niss. So you have those people you're trying

213
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: to impress. Maybe you can rope him in to come

214
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: to a few more services through the course of the year.

215
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's your time to show up and show

216
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: out and um, well the kids Christmas pageant though it's

217
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: it's usually very well, it's always good for laughs. Yeah,

218
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I still remember I was

219
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: telling my kids, I still remember the one year I'm

220
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: one of the three wise man. I'm with one of

221
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: these kids who was a total cut up. He drove

222
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: our Sunday school teachers crazy. They finally give him a role.

223
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: They used to just have him, you know, stand off

224
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: on the side, standoff on the side, be a shepherd.

225
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: They make him a wise man one years. So he's

226
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: the first guy. He's got the gold. I'm the third guy.

227
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: I got the mirror. So we get up there, you know,

228
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: you kneel down in front of Joseph, Mary and to

229
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: the fake baby Jesus, and uh so we all kneel down,

230
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: and they said, they told Tom you got the gold.

231
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: You can open your gift to show that there's gold

232
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: inside the little thing that he's got. He opens it up.

233
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: He didn't tell any of us. He opens it up,

234
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: there's the gold, but in there is a g I

235
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: Joe with an M sixteen, a Gijoe action figure with

236
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: an M sixteen in there, so that this is the

237
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: best part after the paget. Of course, the teacher saw this,

238
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: she was ready to blow her stack. She asks him Tom,

239
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: why was there a g I Joe in the little

240
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: chest of gold. He goes, well, someone's got to protect

241
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: that stuff for Jesus. Somebody might steal it. Man. Oh man,

242
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: that's classic stuff. Always an unbelieve Yeah, your miss kids

244
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: ones you never forget, that's for sure. So that was

245
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: the Christmas review there, So there we go. Yeah, we

246
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: jumped right into the game yesterday didn't really talk about

247
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: so we hope everybody had a good Christmas. People wasn't great.

248
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: Hopefully it was entertaining. I'll tell you this. The media

249
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: now and now the people have digested last night's came

250
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: where the Dolphins beat the Saints. Now the Dolphins are

251
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: the last playoff team in the mix, and they've kind

252
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: of put that six week sixteen behind him. People are

253
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: starting to go back and the analysts around the media,

254
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: around the national week are starting to look at what

255
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: Josh did on Sunday and they're going crazy over Josh.

256
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean that they're pulling apart that. I got a

257
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: stat here. Josh is one of fifty seven quarterbacks since

258
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has been head coach of the Patriots. Fifty

259
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: seven guys we have had forty five or more pass attempts. Right,

260
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: He's the first one not to get sacked and not

261
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: to throw again an interception. I watched that game again

262
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: this morning on on that condensed version on game pass. Right,

263
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: it was it was it was a Harris and I

264
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: don't want to go off on this, but it was

265
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: a Harris breadth from being an absolute beat down for

266
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, like a forty it was. It could

267
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: have been a forty four to twenty one game or

268
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: forty four twenty game, forty four twenty one game. They

269
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: could have put two more touchdowns up there easily. I'll

270
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: tell you this too, though it could have been. It

271
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: could have been twenty eight twenty six Patriots, particularly if

272
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Josh's last interception gets picked off on that last drive.

273
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: But it could have been also, it could have been

274
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven twenty nine Buffalo. We get the ball back

275
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: with a lot of time, we go down and kick

276
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: the field goal, and then it's on their side too, right,

277
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: But it but the fact on that last drive where

278
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,239
Speaker 1: the Bills put it out of reach, thirty three twenty

279
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: twenty one, isn't thirty three twenty yeah, thirty that last drive, Now,

280
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: I'll say this, as good as their offense looked during

281
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: the game, on first and second down, during that last drive,

282
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: the Bills kind of got conservative. Now they did. On

283
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: one of the first and tens, they threw it to Devin.

284
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: He ran it for a touchdown. Say, got a first down,

285
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: first down, But there was a third and eight where

286
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: they got into a fourth and six where the guy

287
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: jumped off sides right, and that that fourth and seven,

288
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: and then it went down to a fourth and two

289
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: right and that's where Josh did the eight yard run

290
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: off around the end. Then the dig shovel pass was

291
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: in that drive, and there was an Isaamh McKenzie third

292
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: and nine where McKenzie catches on the sidelines going up

293
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: up the field on a throw. They converted like two

294
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: impossible third downs and a fourth down on a fourth

295
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: and two to keep that drive going. And you know,

296
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: it was six point game, five point game, so it

297
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: was it wasn't It went from being a could have

298
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: been a beat down too. It was actually a pretty

299
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: close game except for the fact that the Bills made

300
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: about four plays in the last drive or two drives

301
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: that were like, wow, unbelievable. The last two drives of

302
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: that game were unbelievable by the Bills. And you know,

303
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: we'll hear from the coordinators and ed coach on McDermott

304
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the show. But that's why

305
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: dabl always comes back to execution when he talks about,

306
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, the game plan and how things went. He's like, look,

307
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: we have the best play in the world, but if

308
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: you don't execute, it doesn't matter. And he basically said

309
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: it again yesterday. Credit to the players. The players make

310
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: the plays and there were some stark examples yesterday or Sunday,

311
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: i should say, where the players really came up big

312
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: in some tough spots to make some plays, keep drives alive,

313
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: keep the offense on schedule, what have you. And that

314
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: was probably that game was one of the most I

315
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: think it was one of the games where you most

316
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: frequently saw individual players stepping up to make critical plays

317
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: at critical times. At least through the course of this season.

318
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: There have been other games where you've seen some Bills

319
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: players make some clutch plays at some opportune times to

320
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: kind of keep them ahead on the scoreboard, ahead of

321
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: the sticks, whatever it is, right, there were a lot

322
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: of those on Sunday, and it was it was critical

323
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: to the victory. I think, yeah, they I saw this

324
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: as well. Every single drive in that game that that

325
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a kneel down at the end of the game

326
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: or the end of the first half. Every single drive

327
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: was inside the PA got inside the Patriot twenty yard line.

328
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: Every single possession to the red zone. That's unusual. It's unusual,

329
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm quite frankly well, and it's the number

330
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: three defense in football. I can't believe New England steadfastly. Well,

331
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: I guess they pressured him once in a while. Yeah. Uh,

332
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: they blitzed on occasion, not a lot. They blitzed on occasion.

333
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: It seemed like they were committed to coverage and had

334
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: their pass rushers disciplined in their rush lanes, because there

335
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: were a lot of times they'd charge up the field,

336
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: stop and just kind of stand there and peep over

337
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: one shoulder, peek over the other shoulder. Is he coming

338
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: out this way? Is he coming out that? That's game plan.

339
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: That's not like your offensive lines dominating. Now. Bill's offensive

340
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: line got a lot of kudos, but for an offensive

341
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: line that had been shuffled and injured even in the game,

342
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe New England did more, didn't do more

343
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: to I would take advantage of that. Yeah, I was

344
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: perplexed that they said, well, let's make him beat us

345
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: from the pocket. What like? Have you seen this guy? Yeah?

346
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: And I wonder if that's part of the reason. You know,

347
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: he's shouting coming off the field. Did they know, you

348
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: know who did they think I was? Yeah, that could

349
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: be maybe they that could be Brian Dable in between

350
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: series noticing what's going on and telling Josh on They

351
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: don't think you can do it from the pocket, They

352
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: don't think you'll take the to checkdowns. They just like

353
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: challenging him during betweens. I don't know if he is

354
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: or not, but it seems like a conversation that if

355
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: day Ball knew that and recognize that as being a

356
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: former member of that team's coaching staff saying, hey, they're

357
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: gonna make you do this. They don't think you can

358
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,239
Speaker 1: do it, yeah, and that would motivate Josh to do it,

359
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: not only do it, but do it well and then

360
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: talk some smack about it quickly, some NFL well, some bills,

361
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: news and notes. In case you missed it yesterday, Ike

362
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: Butcker goes on injured reserve with his achilles injury. He's

363
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: pretty much done for the season. That is a season ender,

364
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: and Bobby Hart, who was on the practice squad, got

365
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: promoted to the active roster in his place. They also

366
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: released defensive end Brilliance Speaks from the practice squad. He

367
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: had just joined the team last week, and Cam Lewis

368
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: is the latest addition to the reserve COVID list, where

369
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis, Cody Ford, Cole Beasley, and AJP and s

370
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: along with John Feliciano still sit at this moment. However,

371
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: we saw the CDC yesterday day come down with new

372
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: quarantine guidelines for people who test positive for COVID. Basically,

373
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: if you are asymptomatic, you can reduce your quarantine from

374
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: ten to five days. If you are asymptomatic where you

375
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: are not showing symptoms, you have to still wear a

376
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: mask around people, indoors and whatnot after those five days,

377
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: but you're not holed up in a room for ten

378
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: days basically, for lack of a better description, So the

379
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: next question becomes, is the NFL and NFLPA going to

380
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 1: do anything to change their protocols in response to what

381
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: the CDC has done. NFL Networks Tom Pellicero just a

382
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: short time ago put this out. The NFL and NFLPA

383
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: are discussing potential changes to COVID protocols based on the

384
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: new CDC guidance that cuts the recommended isolation period from

385
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: ten days to five. Nothing is done yet, but changes

386
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: that could be forthcoming may allow most players who test

387
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: positive on a Monday to still be back out of

388
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: those proto calls and playing a game on Sunday. Now,

389
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: of course, you also have to factor in Steve a

390
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: situation that we saw Dion Dawkins go through. Dawkins came

391
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: out of the protocols on a Saturday before Sunday's game

392
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, but had not practiced all week right

393
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: and only played after Ike Bucker went down with the

394
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: injury and they had to shuffle the deck. I think

395
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: if it stayed the way it was, he probably was

396
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: not would not have played in that game, outside of

397
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: maybe some field goal formations and things like that. So

398
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: even though you may get players out sooner, if they

399
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: do in fact change the guidelines of somebody going on

400
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: the COVID reserve list, it's still going to present an

401
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: issue for every team and every coach to say they

402
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: got in practice all week, but we're gonna play. It's different, though.

403
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: It's different for Dion Dakers. He's a franchise tackle. He's

404
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: been there for four years, five years, He's had a

405
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks off in the big picture of his career,

406
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: if it was a guy like Spencer Brown or like

407
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: a Tommy Doyle, if Tommy Doyle had been that guy

408
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: and he'd been up and then all of a sudden

409
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: they got to plug him in, it might be a

410
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: different story because he just didn't have the depth of

411
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: knowledge and experience. Even so, that didn't stark Dawkins in

412
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: the game, right, and that was probably out of design.

413
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: They said, let'tens get you up and if maybe give

414
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: you maybe they were gonna give him a series in

415
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: the game or two to get his feet wet again,

416
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, and they got pushed into this situation.

417
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is Dawkins gives them the chance

418
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: to feel a little bit better about getting somebody hurt

419
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: out of the blue and putting him in there rather

420
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: than a guy like Tommy Doyle or you know, or

421
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Bates having to move out to left tackle or

422
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, something like that. So you know, they got

423
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: I don't say lucky, but having the fact that it

424
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: was Dawkins that the guy they had to plug in there,

425
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty much that's a that's an it's an upgrade

426
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: since it went the way right. The uh tom Pella

427
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: Sero has got another update and this is a big one.

428
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: Colt's quarterback Carson Wentz COVID reserve list and as we know,

429
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: he is un vaccinated. So today is Tuesday. You better

430
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: believe the Colts are hoping those new guidelines come down

431
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: from the NFL and the NFLPA because otherwise they're not

432
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: going to have him for this weekend's game. And the

433
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: who's the guy behind Carson when I got to find that,

434
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: I think it's uh Ellinger, Sam Ellinger. I think he's

435
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: the back of say this, um, there'll be some people

436
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: and if and if he was still playing in Philly,

437
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: they'd be saying where we may be better off. Carson

438
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: Wentz has not gotten a lot of kudos for the

439
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: way he's been playing quarterback lately. This is the team

440
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: that runs through Jonathan Taylor and the offensive linea Sam

441
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: Ellinger Wentz does. Wentz does a nice job, and he's

442
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: had moments and he's got some skills, but he's not

443
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: he's not playing at the n m B m VP

444
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: caliber he did three years ago with Philly and he

445
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to recapture that. And I don't know that. Gosh,

446
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, this is a little bit like I don't

447
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: think the Colt quarterback, even though it's Carson Wentz, is

448
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: a big a loss as it would obviously as it

449
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: would be for you know, Rogers Josh Allen, Tampa Bay.

450
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: You know, with Tom Brady and all that, I think

451
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: the Colts can still win with whoever Ellinger is right,

452
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean I think maybe, But man, oh man, don't

453
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: you have that this is not the time, but don't

454
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: you have like you know, he's unvaccinated. You saw guys

455
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: getting added to the list in the last few days

456
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: on the Colts roster. Quenton Nelson missed the last game

457
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: along with a couple of other alignment so you knew

458
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: it was running through that team. And he's unvaccinated. It's

459
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: like you're a sitting duck. You're sitting duck and there

460
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: he is, but popping up on the COVID list with

461
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: the new day, and you get through it and come back.

462
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: You don't get tested right for the rest of the

463
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: year or something that's right, but you gotta get through

464
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: those ten days. Yeah, they play the Raiders at home

465
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday and then they're at the Jaguars in week eighteen,

466
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: which conceivably should be that he should be ten days,

467
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: so that would be Friday of next week if he

468
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: has to serve the full ten plus, he'll be in meeting.

469
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: He won't be in meetings virtual watching meetings, virtual meetings,

470
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: and be on be in communication with a club. He won't.

471
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: It's hard because you can't come to the bill, you

472
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: can't come to work. Yeah, it's it's a that's a

473
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: tough one challenge. I mean, they need challenge. They need

474
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: every win they can get. I mean, I know they're

475
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: sitting in the five spot right now as one of

476
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: the wild cards, and they have a good conference record.

477
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: But you lose to the Raiders. They dropped this game,

478
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: go nine and seven. They're gonna be in it with

479
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: Baltimore the Chargers. Yeah, it's sticky. It's a sticky situation.

480
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: So we'll wait and see. We already have people asking

481
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: us if these new quarantine protocols come down with that

482
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: mean Beasley and or Davis could be available for Sunday's game.

483
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: Try remember when Beasley went on the COVID list. Have

484
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: to go back and look. I want to say it

485
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: was Wednesday of last week, which would make him eligible

486
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: in time for this game, even if he serves the

487
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: full ten days. Davis, however, went on the COVID list

488
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: last Friday. I want to say, so he would not

489
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: be eligible for this game coming up if he has

490
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: to serve the full ten days, so that's kind of

491
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: where it's at. We have to take a break here

492
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: because when we come back, we're gonna be joined by

493
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: a guy that tore it up on the field on Sunday.

494
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie, the leading receiver on the team and last

495
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: week's went over the Patriots. He joins us next here

496
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Line, presented by Kalaida Health. It's Buffalo

497
00:27:45,440 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to five Chris, perhaps

498
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: after with you and ple used to be joined now

499
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: by a guy who came up with a gargantuan effort

500
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: and sundays win over the Patriots. It is one Isaiah

501
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: McKenzie joining us after a career high eleven receptions for

502
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five yards and a tuddy to

503
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: get the point scoring day off to a great start

504
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: on the opening drive. Isaiah, how are you doing? Man?

505
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: I know it's twenty four hour rule and everything, but

506
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: that was pretty dang good yesterday. Could you have anticipated

507
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: you having the level of success that you did in

508
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: that one? Um? To be honest, I get that question.

509
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: I haven't had that question for the last six interviews.

510
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: All Right, Sorry, I didn't mean to copy everybody else. No,

511
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: I had no idea what was going to happen. I

512
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: just knew when I got my chants, I wouldn't take advantage.

513
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm grateful that I got twelve chances

514
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: and I had eleven, you know, eleven catches. So it

515
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: was it was awesome, awesome day. You know, the coaches

516
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: believing me, Joss believing me, and we just kept training rolling. Yeah.

517
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: The interesting part about it was he got, like you said,

518
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 1: he got twelve targets. Even the twelfth one, the one

519
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: didn't count, was like in there you were open and

520
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: it kind of bounced in. You almost had the catch.

521
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: But eleven catches on twelve targets, that's you talk about

522
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: a fishing. It's almost perfect. And even on a day

523
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: like that the other day, when the ball the team

524
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: was moving the ball so well, did you could you

525
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: feel like, I mean, it's got to feel different when

526
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: you're having a day like that where every ball is

527
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: sticking to your hands. You had one guy over the time,

528
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I mean, you were getting separation.

529
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: I know a lot of guys you run around and

530
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: you're opening the balls someplace else or whatever. But it

531
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: seemed like every route you ran, you were getting it. Yeah,

532
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: I just felt like Josh was on the money. Josh

533
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: was putting them on a dime, and I just had

534
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: to catch him and make him look good. So I mean,

535
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: it goes hand in hand, you know. But yeah, every

536
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: rood I ran, it was like the ball was there,

537
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, it was some balls. I was like, oh,

538
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: maybe I'm not getting this one, and I was getting it.

539
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: I was like whoa. It was like the one when

540
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: I jumped in the air and I called It was like,

541
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm like Josh when he threw that ball and I

542
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: was like whoa, and I caught it. So I was like,

543
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: It's just my day, you know. So it was a

544
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: great day overall, though, Isaiah, I gotta say, knowing that

545
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense and Bill Belichick is known for in

546
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: game adjustments, it shocked me that they did not seem

547
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: to change their approach to defending you with Miles Bryant

548
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: in in any way, shape or form through the course

549
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: of the game, despite the fact that you were eating

550
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: him alive. Did you see any adjustments from them coverage

551
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: wise with you from start to finish in that game?

552
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: Because from my vantage point, it didn't seem like they

553
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: chose to do too much to change it, and you

554
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: kept killing them. Um, I guess I saw the same

555
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: thing over and over. I just felt I felt like

556
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: he was playing off and outside every single time, and

557
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: I was just like, I'm gonna just take advantage of

558
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: these overalls whenever we you know, whenever we call him,

559
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: and that's what I did. But um, for the most part,

560
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of adjustments where he was letting

561
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: me go and they would have a safety over the

562
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: top and a guy underneath a rat player, or the

563
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: corner will fall off or something like that. I saw

564
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: that a couple of times, but then it didn't last

565
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: too long too and then if they did try to

566
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: do it or they thought, you know, they had to

567
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: figure it out, and he was on me and he

568
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: was offering outside again, and that corner didn't fall off,

569
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: and that safety didn't wasn't over the top, or the

570
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: rat player wasn't in the middle. I just took advantage

571
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: of that whenever I could, and yeah, you know, and

572
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: went well. At the beginning of the year, we everybody

573
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: knew that this team was like neck deep and really

574
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: good guys out there that you of course, they got

575
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: Steph h Emmanuel, Cole, You Kumerow, Isaiah Hodgens, Gabe Davis,

576
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: they got, you know, you got some guys. Yeah, and

577
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: and there was a time in this season where you

578
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: had to wait your turn to get on the field.

579
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: And but for a time such as this when you

580
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: got two guys out for whatever reason, Cole Beasley Gabe

581
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: Davis out for for the virus you got, You'll have

582
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: guys injured at some point to come in and indeed

583
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: still go deep down the roster with quality guys to

584
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: get up. You showed it last year in Week seventeen

585
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, where you were the centerpiece of the offense,

586
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: and you just kind of waited your turn this year.

587
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: What you know going forward, what's gonna happen to who

588
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: gets the you know what I'm saying? I mean, did

589
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: you not earn more opportunities with the way you played?

590
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: That's another question I get. Um. I mean I just

591
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: gotta wait might turn it again. I mean, I just

592
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: I've been doing it, you know, for a couple of

593
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 1: years now, and at this point, I'm just like, whenever

594
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: my chance comes, I'll see the opportunity, and that's what

595
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep doing. But going to these next few games,

596
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: and you know, God's making the playoffs and things like that.

597
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows, I'm saying. It could be anybody's day,

598
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But like you said, we

599
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: got a lot of depth and you never know who's next.

600
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: You know, the past few weeks, it was Gay this week,

601
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: it was me. Next week, it maybe E and B's

602
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: and we just keep the train rolling. We celebrate, We

603
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: celebrate each other's success. So it doesn't matter who you

604
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: know comes out on top as long as we get

605
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: to win at the end of the day. But you know,

606
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: it should be interesting talking to Bills receiver Isaiah McKenzie

607
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: and Isaiah there was one particular play that Dion Dawkins

608
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: admit after the game made him laugh out loud. It

609
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: was the reception you caught and you literally bounced off

610
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: the ground and the football maybe a good foot and

611
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: a half in the air after you hit the ground.

612
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: You bounced like a super ball. First of all, did

613
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: the football like smash your ribs because that's always a

614
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: concern when you see a receiver land like that on

615
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: the ball. And then number two, did you get the

616
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: wind knocked out of you? Or did you cramp up

617
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: after that? And that's why the trainers came out on

618
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: the field. So what happened was when I caught the ball,

619
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: I was like, when I caught it, I tucked it

620
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: as far as I could because I knew the ground

621
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: was coming, and I tried to put my arms underneath

622
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: the ball, and my arms underneath the ball, and the

623
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: ball being so big, it like probably like hit like

624
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: hit my start on it, and I was like I

625
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,719
Speaker 1: couldn't breathe. I was like, ooh, this hurt. So when

626
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 1: I turned around and I was bent over, I couldn't breathe.

627
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: And then when during during that time, my calf cramped up,

628
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: like my right calf cramped up, so I had stuck

629
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: my leg out and I'm like, oh, my calf cramp.

630
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: So it went from my slumming was hurting, it's my

631
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: craft my calf cramping. So I just turned around and

632
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: eventually I can breathe again, and then after that it

633
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: was just like my calf and then I was out

634
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: for like one play. So yeah, after springing, so you

635
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: come out, you come off the field, you guys head

636
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: in the locker room. It was a massive game that

637
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: you had to have, and you showed up big time

638
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: on also every side of the ball, offense, defense, special teams.

639
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: You really crafted a complete victory. What was the atmosphere

640
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: like And on the way home, when you're standing on

641
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: when you're on the plane, the guys were talking about

642
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 1: what that meant, meant that game meant, and what's gonna

643
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: happen in the next couple of weeks. What was that

Speaker 1: we're gonna come up with this win no matter what.

652
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: You know, through the ups and downs during that game,

00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, we want you know, stayed the

654
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,279

Speaker 1: on the plane route, you know, everybody's pretty feeling good,

656
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,839

657
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: you know, the offense was happy. We was moving the ball.

658
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: At defense, you know, they was doing that thing even

659
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: though patients they scored touchdowns. But we came back and

660
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: you know, we you know, we took the momentum back.

661
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: The defense were out there, got a couple of stops

662
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: and things like that, so you know, everything was just clicking.

663
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: You know, no matter what. You know, every game is

664
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: gonna have his ups and downs, but we didn't care.

665
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: Were just like, no matter what, we gotta win this game.

666
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: I saw that. You told Peter King from Football Morning

667
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: America after the game that Josh basically told the team

668
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: before the game he woke up with violence on his mind. Yeah. Um,

669
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if he collaborated on that, but what

670
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: did the rest How did the rest of the locker

671
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: room interpret that? As he was addressing you guys going

672
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: into that game. That was right before the game, well yeah,

673
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: right before we were going to come out, and he

674
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: was just you know, he said it, and everybody was

675
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: like whoa, you know, everybody was hyped up. I stayed

676
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: there quiet, but everybody else is like kind of like

677
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: in that mode like yeah, I'm you know, I'm if

678
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: you're down I'm down, and I was down no matter what.

679
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: But Josh was just like speaking it and I was like,

680
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: I guess we're going to war. So we all went

681
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: out there and you know, we just had the game.

682
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: What is the thought process coming into this week? He

683
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: got another game? You know, he got two games left.

684
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: You need to win out to ensure your spot as

685
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: the division champion, get a home field playoff game at

686
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: least one. What are the conversations like and what's the

687
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: atmosphere like coming forward out of this game knowing it

688
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: was so massive? Are you gonna have a hard time

689
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: putting the screws down for an out of conference team

690
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: like the Falcons that you don't see very often, don't

691
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: know that much about. Uh No, we we know we

692
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: got to come out with these wins, and you know

693
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. So, like you said, the

694
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: twenty four hour rule, you know, this week, we're gonna

695
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: get to the Falcons and we're gonna we're gonna game

696
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: plan for them, but we're gonna go out there and

697
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: try to get the win. And that's the whole goal

698
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 1: is to try to win out this these last two games.

699
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm saying, and wherever we fall

700
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs or wherever we fall in the season,

701
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. But we're gonna

702
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna go in these next two games and just

703
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: try to ball out the best way we can. Last

704
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: one for me, Isaiah. You know, I know you talk

705
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: about how each of you guys in the receiver's room

706
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: celebrate one another's successes. So what was the texting feedback

707
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: from the guys on the COVID reserve list that couldn't

708
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: play in this game? Day Davis and Cole? I know

709
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: you and Cole talk a lot about playing in that position. Yeah,

710
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: So what was kind of the text exchange from those

00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: I did a good job and things like that. We

719
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: were talking and I was just asked telling him like,

720
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,399
Speaker 1: you know, can't wait to get you back until he's

721
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: like that because you know, he's a big part of

722
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: his team, and Gabe's a big part of the team

723
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: as well. But B and B's talking, you know, obviously

724
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: in the slot more than being Gabe it and me

725
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: and being just talking about you know how you'll say

726
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: we can possibly be a duel or something like that.

727
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: Just we're just joking around and things like that. But

728
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: we know what we have in our receiver room, and

729
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, we just want to keep the train run

730
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: and we know we're a big part of the offense

731
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: and things like that, so we just want to keep

732
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: it going. But those guys, I can't wait to get

733
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 1: him back. What about when you talk about the receivers

734
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: and how they're playing it going forward? UM, really want

735
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: to know what your got? What's your dream scenario you

736
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: guys in the I know you guys all talk about

737
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: what are probably I mean, you did it like for

738
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: a minute, like first it's part of the season, But

739
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, what's the dream scenario for you guys in

740
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room? Um, there's never really a dream

741
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: scenario for uh. I mean I would say I would

742
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 1: say this like on our team, our receiver groups. We're

743
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: not selfish, you know, nobody, nobody in the room is selfish.

744
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: So for any for any for any of our us you,

745
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be fine. Why I would say

746
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: it would be fine, but doing it, But it was

747
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: just like you know, I guess, just spreading the ball around,

748
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: you know, spreading the love you know, you know gave

749
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: you get a couple of catches, days, get a couple

750
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: of catches, eager to couple with Bees myself. You know

751
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Just you know, just spreading the love.

752
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, that's all that's all we that's all we

753
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: asked for. And you know Josh doesn't he does a

754
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: good job of doing that. You just spreading the love. Yeah,

755
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: I got more love than Digs this past game. But um,

756
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, it is what it is.

757
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: But you know Dives had a great game itself. But

758
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: it's it's I guess it's so hard when you're like

759
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: you got so much depth, you know, like you got

760
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: gave me behind Bees, Gay, behind e yes, Steph. You

761
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: know I'm saying, like Isaiah Haw, He's like you got

762
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: those guys and you like you didn't know what you

763
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: had until now. You know, so like now you got

764
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: like you know, you got depth for days, and you

765
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: know any of them can shine at any moment, and

766
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: you just want to. I guess you just try to

767
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: spread love the best way you can. If you're Dave's

768
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: and Josh, you try to like, hey, I would get

769
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: this guy the ball here and there, I'm meeting this

770
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: boy here. But anything, you know, at any given day,

771
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: anything can happen, you know, last one for me, I

772
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: gotta ask you too, after you saying about it about

773
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: spreading the love around the guys. You guys are close friends.

774
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember what it was like being in

775
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: the receiver room and you spend a lot of time together.

776
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: But with COVID protocols and virtual meetings and the list

777
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: and the and all the stuff you guys got to

778
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: go through these days to get on the field and

779
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: stay healthy, how difficult of a challenge is it? And Holp,

780
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how much easier would it

781
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: be to play well if you didn't have all these

782
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: hoops to jump through? And how much of a detriment

783
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: does it still continue to be? And how challenging is

784
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: it with COVID still causing you guys to have to

785
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: jump through hoops just to get in the building. Um,

786
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: it's very difficult. You know. What I'm saying with the

787
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: Zoom Meet is not being around the guys like he

788
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: used to, not talking, you know, it's just I feel

789
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: like it's like not even football, it's just being around

790
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: the guys in general, like off the field, we can't

791
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: you know, go to each other's houses. We can't hang

792
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: out like we used to and things like that. So

793
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard. And and we all have a chemistry.

794
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: You know, we've been here, We've all been around each

795
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: other for a while now, you know, some some of

796
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: us been around for a couple of years, something been

797
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: for a year. But it's just like like we're so

798
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: used to being around each other and building that chemistry

799
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: with one another. It's just so different, even with Josh,

800
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: you know, saying, we can't be around Josh like we

801
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: want to be, you know what I'm saying, just just

802
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: to even kick it, you know, hang out. So it's just,

803
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: you know, we just do what we can, know what

804
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So we just if we got Zoom Meets,

805
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: we try to make the best of it. You know,

806
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying if we got a meeting where we're all

807
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: together at one point trying to meet the best of that,

808
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: but other than that, it's it's hard. But at the

809
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: same time, we know it can't be the reason why

810
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: we can't go out there and get w's on Sundays.

811
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: All right, Isaiah, we'll listen. Thanks very much. Nice job

812
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: this past Sunday. Good luck finishing off this week and

813
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: next so you can get another AFC title. All right,

814
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate it. Thanks Isaiah. All right, that's Isaiah

815
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: McKenzie joining us here on One Bills Live. We will

816
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: take a break, but we're back with more after this.

817
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: It's One Bills Live presented by Collid to Health. This

818
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, time for Sam Reads Milestones,

819
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: brought to you by Reads. Jen's the official jeweler or

820
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. With his second touchdown pass and Sunday's

821
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: thirty three twenty one win over the Patriots, Bills quarterback

822
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen became the first player in league history with

823
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: one under passing touchdowns and twenty rushing touchdowns in his

824
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: first for seasons. It's Josh Allen that's the list. One

825
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: hundred touchdowns twenty rushing touchdowns in his first four seasons

826
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: with something else. That's pretty cool. That good to catch

827
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: up with Isaiah McKenzie. That interview brought to you by

828
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: Austin Air Fresh off the Field. It's the official clean

829
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: air provider of the Buffalo Bills, So glad we were

830
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: able to get him on, especially after his career performance

831
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: On Sunday. We found out a couple of weeks ago

832
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: that the head coaching interview candidate rules would be changing.

833
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: They could start two weeks before the regular season ends

834
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: if there is not a current person serving in the

835
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: head coaching position. The Jacksonville Jaguars obviously parted ways with

836
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, and they have an opening, and they've already

837
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: begun making requests. Earlier this morning, it was reported that

838
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars had quested permission to interview Buccaneers offensive coordinator

839
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: Byron Leftwich, a former first round pick of the Jaguars

840
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and three. They have also requested

841
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: to interview Bucks defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, Cowboys offensive coordinator

842
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, and former Eagles head coach Doug Peterson has

843
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: also scheduled to interview with the Jaguars, So their head

844
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: coaching interview process is well underway, it would see. And

845
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: that's what always was the wrench in this hiring process

846
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: and the schedule behind it, because you got Jacksonville who

847
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: let Urban Meyer go after for whatever reason it's irrelevant

848
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: now and start their process. They Doug Peterson, all these

849
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: guys that coordinators, all the hot coordinators are coming down

850
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: the stretch. They can start interviewing these guys whenever they

851
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,479
Speaker 1: get the chance to do it, and they'll be way

852
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: out in front of the next job that comes available,

853
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: whoever that is Houston, Texans or you go down the list,

854
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: go down the list, whoever's gonna let their head coach

855
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: go this year, which I can't think of any off

856
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,959
Speaker 1: the top. Maybe Chicago, right Matt, So Chicago is sitting

857
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: there still with Matt Naggie in the building, thinking we're

858
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: gonna make a move. And when they come out and

859
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: when they break and they say after their last game

860
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: of the season or during the play out, whatever, Jacksonville

861
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: is going to have all these guys already interviewed and

862
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna be going after other guys, maybe the top

863
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: guys you know here with the Bills or whoever the chiefs,

864
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: Eric b Enemy, all these guys and the Chart and

865
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: the Bears are gonna get left standing out in the cold, drafting,

866
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, or hiring Joey Bag of Donuts. I kind

867
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: of want and that's always been the thing. They don't

868
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: want to get left out. I kind of wonder how

869
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: many openings there will be this year. The only reason

870
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: I ask is because I wonder if the numbers are

871
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: fewer than we would normally expect. The reason why is

872
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: the Jets, who are at the bottom of the AFC,

873
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: just got a new head coach this year. They're not

874
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: getting rid of Robert Sala. Houston which is struggling but

875
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: just had a nice win over the Chargers this past week,

876
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: and Davis Mills is coming around as a young quarterback.

877
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: Do they keep David Culley They just hired him. Maybe

878
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 1: they don't part with him. Yeah, you're looking at the Giants.

879
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: It's already been reported they're keeping Joe Judge for next

880
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: year along with Daniel Jones at quarterback. Matt Campbell just

881
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: won a big game this past week and it doesn't

882
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: look like he's going anywhere or Dan Campbell. Sorry, I

883
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: guess My point here is Shington. My point here is

884
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: some of the worst teams in the league in terms

885
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: of wins or losses just got a new head coach

886
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: this year. You could be looking at a team like

887
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: Here's that you could be looking at like Minnesota. You

888
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: look at a guy that's been there a while, had

889
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: a chance to do it and can't get it done.

890
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: So like Zimmer in Minnesota for the NFC, All right,

891
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: that's fair. If some of these teams like San Francisco,

892
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: maybe Fangio and Denver, Denver, Fangio's one. I was gonna say,

893
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: as well, there is also That's that's about it. You're

894
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: not gonna get rid of the guy in Cleveland. I

895
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: mean he was. He was a Coach of the Year

896
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: two years ago, year before last year. Um, Mike Tomlin's

897
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. Vegas there you go. Yeah, Rivera is

898
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 1: probably not going anywhere. Vegas. Yeah, Vegas they have an

899
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: interim right now, right, But everybody else, Yeah, I mean

900
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: usually it's five or six. I don't know if there's

901
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: gonna be five or six openings. I think there might

902
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: be four. I think what will happen is it'll come

903
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: down to some of these teams like San Francisco with

904
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, he's had like what one winning season in

905
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: four If they don't get in the playoffs this year again,

906
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: well they're in the spot right now. They're in the

907
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: sixth spot. That's what I'm saying, though. These teams would

908
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: have to go belly up. It's like Philly, they weren't

909
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be in the playoffs and they're there. Yeah,

910
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: and that's another first year head coach. So Atlanta's first

911
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: year head coach. New Orleans wasn't gonna change anything. They've had.

912
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: Their quarterbacks position was a washed Washington just got a

913
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: new guy, Carolina, Matt Rules a possibility. He's been. They

914
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: got embarrassed last week by division rival. They're struggling, but

915
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback completely Cam Newton for goodness sake. Yeah, and

916
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: Garnold night play now too. So we have we have

917
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 1: to take a break here because coming your way next

918
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: making his weekly appearance is one Kyle Brandt from Good

919
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: Morning Football, who had a Bills nominee for his Angry

920
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: Runs segment this week. We'll let you know who that

921
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: was when we come back here on One Bill's Live

922
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's radio at a

923
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker who has been all over the field. Kind

924
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: of unique. He was kind of a dual role player

925
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: for you, stay a blimp. We're not even in the

926
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: threaded beard of normalcy. Alright, hour number two on a Tuesday,

927
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: and you know what that means. It's time for one.

928
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football, who we need to

929
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: mention had a Buffalo Bill on his candidate nominee list

930
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: for angry runs this week. Roll the tape and let's

931
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: go to Alfred Molina and a bathroom because we're motoring

932
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Pizza doing the second snap of the game. Depth

933
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: and Singletary, he's gonna take somebody for a ride and

934
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: run somebody over. Watch this a rare, unpressing headed thing

935
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: we've seen here. Devin Singletary is gonna go I'm gonna

936
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: take a passenger with me, Kyle Beggar, and then we're

937
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: gonna truck a linebacker. Can we loop the for Jesus

938
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: side of this, please, Depth and Singletary looks like a

939
00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: fricking rickshaw with a passenger, and Tower gets knocked over

940
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: like a punchline from Mahony and Tackleberry. Look at this thing.

941
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm encased in the phantom zone in this little box

942
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: like Outlaws from Krypton Death and Singletary second snap of

943
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: the game, hashtag tone Center Motor. You could win this thing,

944
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 1: but Wig got so much competition. Good, all right, Kyle,

945
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: I gotta give you credit. There's so many references in

946
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: one description. We got Night Ranger in there, Police Academy.

947
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: I probably missed three others. Is that seriously? Is that

948
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: just all off the top of your very warped movie

949
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: loaded brain, like it's unbelievable. No, No, most of it is.

950
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: I start with I don't have a teleprompter or I

951
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: don't have like a notes or anything, but I know

952
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: a jumping point. So since it was Motor Singletary, I

953
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: was thinking of Motor in Night Ranger, Sister Christian, and

954
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: that's Alfred Molina in the bathrobe and Boodie Knights singing it,

955
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: and so I went from there, and then the rest

956
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 1: of it just sort of, I don't know, it just

957
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: comes flying out of my pile and my own basement.

958
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: I feel like my children are still sleeping, right, And yeah,

959
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: you called the game you had twenty four twenty Buffalo Bills.

960
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: Before we let you go last week, you said twenty

961
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: four twenty Buffalo and you almost net. You got one

962
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: free touchdown for the Bills that you missed. But um,

963
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 1: that was a nice call by you. I gotta tell you.

964
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: I had a lot of anxiety going into that game

965
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: in New England, a ton of it, and I was

966
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: surprised that it was a half a step from a

967
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: beat down by Buffalo. I know, it really felt like

968
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: it was too. Like I know the score is what

969
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: it is, but every time I keep referring to that

970
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: game or even just thinking about that game, it's in

971
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 1: my subconscious that, like, oh, Buffalo crushed them. I really

972
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: feel like they did. And I know that there's Patriots

973
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: fans who say the dropped interception could have changed everything. Well,

974
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: I could have would have shut a shut up. I

975
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like they were clear really clearly

976
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: the better team from start to finish, including on the

977
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: Devin Secletary run there. And I don't know, Guys, like

978
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: we talked week after weeks, we had the advantage of

979
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,760
Speaker 1: sitting back and looking at this whole map of this season.

980
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: I just feel like something happened in Tampa and the

981
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: team that came out of that halftime locker room hasn't

982
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 1: is like the best team in football. They change. Something happened.

983
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: That first half was deplorable on Tampa, and you're like, oh, well,

984
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: the season's over, everything's going down the drain. They came

985
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: out and yeah, they lost in overtime, but they were

986
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: clearly way better in the second half. Crushed Carolina, in

987
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: my opinion, crushed New England. Something happened at halftime, and

988
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,720
Speaker 1: maybe it's a rock bottom thing or maybe they finally

989
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: got mad enough, but they haven't been the same since.

990
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 1: And it's beautiful. Yeah, and this is the first time, Kyle,

991
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: they've stacked wins in two months, I mean now. And

992
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks, this offense has beaten the

993
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: number two defense in the league and the number three

994
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: defense in the league, and they hung thirty burghers on

995
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: both of them. So are we this team kind of

996
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: reclaiming its status as an offensive juggernaut at just the

997
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: right time. I just think we're seeing Alan go ballistic,

998
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,399
Speaker 1: you know, if I if it was this last week.

999
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the biggest factor in all of this was

1000
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: the Beasley and Davis thing out, Like I can't believe

1001
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: they were that efficient without those two guys. The guys

1002
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: are key guys, I mean they really are. So they're gone.

1003
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 1: They miss you know, the biggest game of the year,

1004
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: and Josh doesn't give a crap, just went up and

1005
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: down the field. I feel like Digs could have been

1006
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 1: out and he still would have done it. Like that's

1007
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: He's just in this wild, wild beast mode where I

1008
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: don't know if he's the best player in the league

1009
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: right now, Like I've just take this last maybe, like

1010
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: call it two and a half games. You know, Rogers

1011
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 1: is great and everything, and I don't think Josh Allen's

1012
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna win MVP, but my god, like he has found

1013
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: this zone and this zen where I don't I think

1014
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,240
Speaker 1: he got mad or something, or maybe it's that whole

1015
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: storyline about them getting embarrassed, because say what you want

1016
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 1: again about that new game, the first one, I mean,

1017
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: the first half of Tampa was embarrassing too, and then

1018
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 1: this the old game way that game ended with the officiating,

1019
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: everyone was just mad and I remember we called in.

1020
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: I called in that next week, and everyone was mad,

1021
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: and the fans were mad at the referees and mad

1022
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: at the league. And mad at the world and mad

1023
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: at everyone, and then since then they hadn't lost and

1024
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: it's just all coming up. Josh, I gotta tell you

1025
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: I have a weird first person's story. I hope it

1026
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind me sharing this. So a few weeks ago

1027
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 1: before everything got really really bad with COVID, and you know,

1028
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 1: we were seeing more in the airports and stuff. A

1029
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, I had a flight. My wife

1030
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: and I had to go on a trip, like a

1031
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: quick weekend trip. And we're at JFK Airport outside here

1032
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: in New York and we're waiting for our flight and

1033
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: somebody comes up and says, excuse me, are you Kyle Brand?

1034
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, how are you doing? And he's, oh, yo,

1035
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,879
Speaker 1: I watched the show all the time, Thank you so much.

1036
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: And he said, my name is Joel Allen. I'm Josh

1037
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,959
Speaker 1: Allen's father. And I said, oh, that's so cool. Nice

1038
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: to meet you, sir. And we talked on and on

1039
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: about this season, and you know, he said, thank you

1040
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: for the support, and I said, how are the pistachios?

1041
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: I understand that Josh is Now you guys are getting

1042
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: away from Rode Crops. How are the pistachios come in,

1043
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: and he told me all about the crops and all

1044
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 1: about you know, we talked about the Tampa game because

1045
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: that had just happened, and you know, it was just

1046
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: really cool, nice man with a hell of a farmer's handshake,

1047
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: and I just thought it was unbelievably cool. I hope

1048
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 1: he doesn't mind me telling, but he was a great,

1049
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: great guy, and he was going to the game, of course,

1050
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: coming all the way from Fireball Stop in New York

1051
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: and then get there. It's just great encounter. And man,

1052
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: his son has just been unconscious. Yeah, and his son

1053
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: was really the best. He was the best player in

1054
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: the field on this last Sunday against the Patriots. Now

1055
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 1: here's the thing that's starting to come on the horizon,

1056
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 1: and I don't want to go down this rabbit hole

1057
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: too far, but it looks like the best playoff matchup

1058
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: coming down the road, the most statistically likely is Bill's

1059
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: Patriots again, and it'll be in Buffalo this time. I

1060
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about it. You don't know,

1061
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: if you're angry handle it, and I don't. Maybe, okay,

1062
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: it'd be fun great, But the way the way this

1063
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: last game went was awesome, and I think, wow, we

1064
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: could do that again and again and again again. But

1065
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: then I go back and I rewatched the game, and

1066
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: there's like miraculous play after miraculous play after miraculous play. Well,

1067
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: how many miracles are is it gonna take to beat

1068
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 1: these guys again? But nevertheless, it could happen again. Now

1069
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. We've got three teams in the AFC

1070
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: East that are in the playoffs, so it's gonna be

1071
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 1: one of the two of them. Anyway, how do you

1072
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: feel about the fact that they all of a sudden,

1073
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: it went from the AFC North with Baltimore, with Cleveland,

1074
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati, with Pittsburgh, all these teams in the plun

1075
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: now it's the AFC East. I'm shocked. I gotta tell you, well,

1076
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: I feel I'm worried about you, Steve. I can hear

1077
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: in your voice. We gotta take care of our guy. Now.

1078
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 1: We got the Patriots coming again. Let's let's not pretend

1079
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: we don't have the Hall of Fame finalists coming out

1080
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Steve. We know Bat's coming and we're all

1081
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: rooting for you. And I know you're very, very modest

1082
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 1: about that, but you a lot going on for Steve

1083
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: Tasker and to answer your question nice and now I'm

1084
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: starting to get for clamp here. I know I got

1085
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: some chess tightness, and we got New Year's coming up,

1086
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: and I don't want you drinking too much. I knew Year' Zeve, Steve,

1087
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: we wanted to just play it nice and safe, noverclempness,

1088
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 1: no chess tightness. And I actually, you know what, Steve,

1089
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Patriots should add too much

1090
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: to that. And I'll tell you why that game in

1091
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo was absurd. It was farcical atmosphere, very very strange circumstances,

1092
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: and the Patriots had this crazy game plan and you

1093
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: know the build didn't make enough place. You go to

1094
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: New England and you know they got a little different conditions,

1095
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: a little different state of mind. I think they smacked them.

1096
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you something else. Rookie quarterbacks always show

1097
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: themselves eventually. Always that nobody goes as a rookie and

1098
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: shows up and goes straight to the super Bowl, and oh,

1099
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: what do you know, they're a prodigy. You can give

1100
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: me Ben Roethlisberger as a rookie, Russell Wilson, all of

1101
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: them eventually petered out, even with good teams. And we're

1102
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: seeing that right in front of us with this Mac Jones,

1103
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: because we saw it a couple of weekends ago. The

1104
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: Indianapolis game from New England was his welcome to the

1105
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: NFL moment, which he looked like a rookie, had bad turnovers,

1106
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: and this was supposed to be some supposed bounce back

1107
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: game against Buffalo. It wasn't. It was knots. He has

1108
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: not been good the last three weeks at all, and

1109
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: it's right on schedule. You're playing your best football in December.

1110
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: You're telling me this. Why should you be worried? You

1111
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: have Josh Owen, looks like the best player in the league,

1112
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: and you have Mac Jones who is turning into a

1113
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: pumpkin overnights. Don't be worried. You should want the Patriots.

1114
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: They have a rookie quarterback. To hell with them. Yeah,

1115
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: and one more on Bill's Patriots here, Kyle, because I

1116
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: can't wrap my head around the lack of a sense

1117
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: of reality on the part of Patriots fans. I think

1118
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: for the better part of twenty years they were spoiled

1119
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: and they now assume that last year was an anomaly.

1120
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: Ah was covid, we had cam and blah blah blah.

1121
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: But it's all back on track now. You know, Mac

1122
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: Jones numbers are better than you know, Brady's wearing his

1123
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: first year is a statu. You know, you're hearing all

1124
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: this garbage. And then even after this game, they're still

1125
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: saying they would take Mac Jones over Josh Allen. They

1126
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: were saying it going into the game, they're saying it

1127
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: coming out of the game. It's just I just don't

1128
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: know if they have a firm grip on what reality

1129
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: is because they've been so spoiled for the better part

1130
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: of the last two decades. And I know I'm inserting

1131
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: some personal feelings into this, Kyle, but quite frankly, I

1132
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: don't care right now. I just think it's so irrational

1133
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: and it's so tiresome. I can't take it anymore. Even

1134
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: after wait, even after they get thumped, they still can't

1135
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: accept the truth. Brownie. Is anybody really saying that they

1136
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: would rather have Mac Jones than Josh Allens that said

1137
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: it last week on the air on radio stations up there? What? Yeah,

1138
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: all right, Well then they are delusional and listen, they're

1139
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: they're one percenter, So all of a sudden, maybe they

1140
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: lost ninety percent of their net worth. What is it

1141
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: that the guys from trading places a Randolphin Mortimer who

1142
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: out of the street at the end like it's you know,

1143
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: they won twenty years of every single year they're in

1144
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 1: the penthouse, and then last year they lost almost all

1145
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: of it, and now they think, no, we're still Listen.

1146
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: They did win a ton of games in the middle

1147
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 1: of the season consecutively and looked really impressive. But listen,

1148
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: and I do think that Balochick matters, and I do

1149
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: think that mac Jones is really promising. But this idea

1150
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: that they're gonna win a Super Bowl this year or

1151
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 1: the title this year, that's it's hubrists or idiocy. And honestly,

1152
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: what's the screen name of someone who said, yeah, give

1153
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: me mac Jones ever, Josh Allen? Because they're an imbecile, imbecile?

1154
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Yeah, that's and you're right, Um,

1155
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 1: We've got I want screen names right exactly, we come down,

1156
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: we come down to the stretch here, last two games

1157
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: of an eighteen game season. And I said this yesterday

1158
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: we had this conversation every team and the Patriots maybe

1159
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: this as well. Certainly the Bills are the Buccaneers were

1160
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: last year. You look down every team, the Chiefs, the

1161
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: pat Packers, every single team. This season, the season has

1162
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: gotten to a point where it's so long, and every

1163
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: team has got stretches of a couple of weeks or

1164
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: a game, a couple of games where it like it's like, wow,

1165
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: that is not the team. Every single team has looked

1166
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: like that at some stretch. Is that gonna be the

1167
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: new norm? Is that gonna be? What do you think

1168
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: it says about whatever those teams are? Is it strictly

1169
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: you don't know. You just have to wait until they

1170
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: play that week to find out how they're playing. This

1171
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: is it's a different atmosphere, I think all over the league,

1172
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 1: even in the big picture. I think so too. And

1173
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: I think that's why the wildcard round is going to

1174
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: be insane because you know the other thing that's interesting, Steve,

1175
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: right now, usually this time of year, some team comes

1176
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: running like a team that was miserable at the beginning

1177
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: of the season. You know, maybe it's Miami, but Miami's

1178
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: technically already in. If you look at the AFC standings,

1179
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:52,959
Speaker 1: at the teams that are not in the playoff picture,

1180
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: you meaning they're not in the first seven. They're on

1181
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: the outside looking in. There's really nobody because it's all

1182
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: it's Cleveland, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, the Raiders, the Browns, the Chargers.

1183
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 1: None of those teams are the team of like, oh

1184
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 1: my god, don't let them in. Don't let them in,

1185
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: and they're start knocking people off. I'm not afraid of

1186
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: any of those teams. The teams that you're afraid of.

1187
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: The teams are afraid of are Cincinnati for sure. And

1188
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Cincinnati I've talked about this for a couple of weeks.

1189
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they're a great team. I don't think

1190
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: they're a threat to make some run to the title game.

1191
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: They're a team that if they were a boxer, they

1192
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: have knockout power. Not a great boxer, not down with

1193
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: the sweet science yet still coming into their own, but

1194
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: they can rip off a seventy yard touchdown so fast

1195
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: your headle spin. And they're a team that if you

1196
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: play them in the wildcard round and you're Buffalo or

1197
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: your Tennessee or anybody like that, depending on how the

1198
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: Seeds fall out, I don't want to play Cincinnati. Young

1199
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: doesn't know too naive to know what they've been there before,

1200
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: and major, major home run knockout power the other teams

1201
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm not so afraid of. That is a dry I

1202
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: don't want if I'm one of the higher season in

1203
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: the AFCA just because that they show that day they

1204
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: might score forty two points. Yeah, and as much Kyle

1205
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: as Indianapolis depends on Jonathan Taylor. Carson Wentz going on

1206
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: the COVID reserve listay god, I mean it was well

1207
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: publicized that he's unvaccinated. So after you started seeing names

1208
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: go on the COVID reserve list for the Colts, I

1209
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: think we only kind of thought it would be a

1210
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: matter of time before he was going to wind up

1211
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: on that list too. But your timing could not be

1212
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: worse here. And I mean, yes, he hasn't really carried

1213
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: that team. And Sam Ellinger, Okay, you know, nice backup,

1214
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: hand the ball off, manage the game whatever, give it

1215
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: to Jonathan Taylor forty times. But I don't know, do

1216
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: you see this disrupting anything for them? Yeah, hugely so,

1217
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: because it's not only their starting quarterback. Last week was

1218
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: kind of the Carson Wentzon moments. He had some big

1219
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: plays and the team's starting to rally around him, and

1220
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: there's some magic building with that team. And now this,

1221
01:03:55,720 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: and this is why it's impossible to keep COVID vaccinations

1222
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: whatnot out of sports radio, out of sports columns, out

1223
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: of sports Twitter. And the last thing I ever want

1224
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: to do is soapbox this thing and talk politics. But

1225
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: this is why it's a huge liability to have unvaccinated players.

1226
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: Bills fans know, you just went through it. I mean,

1227
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: look at what happened to the Chargers last week. Mike Williams,

1228
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: the receiver, Joey Bosa, the d n not out there,

1229
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: and they lose to the Texans. The Bills good enough

1230
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: to overcome it. It's I don't care what your political

1231
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: beliefs are, what you choose to vaccinate or not. It

1232
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: sucks to get the dinged if you're not vaccine and

1233
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: sit out ten days. Carson Wentz just out they could

1234
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: easily lose this game because of that. They could easily

1235
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: have their whole season fall apart because of that. So

1236
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: my god, it's just it's I feel frustrated for the

1237
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: fans and for the coaches that something that is in

1238
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: a way philosophically preventable isn't. And that's why it's just

1239
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: it's just tough. I get emotional talking about it because

1240
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I hate I like seeing games decide it on the field.

1241
01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: And yes, losing your quarterback in week sixteen seven team,

1242
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,439
Speaker 1: whatever the hell it is, I don't care how good Taylors.

1243
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: That's a huge blow for them. They're heading it to

1244
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: some rookie. How'd that worked for the Saints last night?

1245
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's not happening. Yeah, And it's

1246
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: interesting to you because every time I see something like

1247
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 1: this happen, I look, I go straight to the team's schedule, like, I, well,

1248
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 1: who do they have to play? And in this case,

1249
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: they got the Raiders up here next, and the Raiders

1250
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: are dangerous. Derek Carr can play, he can throw the

1251
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: Raiders can you know? They will snag some wins from you,

1252
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: and that's one of the things you gotta And then

1253
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: they play the Jacksonville Jaggars and I gotta think you

1254
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: could just hand it off to Jonathan Taylor and beat

1255
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 1: those guys. But really, the Colts need both those games.

1256
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: They gotta win both those games to make sure they

1257
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs. They're sitting here right now at

1258
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: nine and six. They I don't know if ten and

1259
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: seven gets in, because then you're gonna look at tiebreakers.

1260
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: I saw this too, And how much validity are we

1261
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: giving the Philip Rivers thing because I saw something. I

1262
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: don't know if it was a reporter I as a joke.

1263
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: Are they really asking him the real report? What happened

1264
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Kyle was Frank Reich was asked if you contacted Philip

1265
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: Rivers at any point in time since we last asked you,

1266
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 1: which I guess was back in mid season, and this

1267
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: was the day before this news came out, and he said, no,

1268
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 1: we haven't contacted, and we're happy with the guys that

1269
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: we have. And now people are openly speculating because of

1270
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: what happened with Wentz now going on COVID reserve. Oh

1271
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: maybe he changed his mind and it could happen now,

1272
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: so Rivers Gate is up and running. Yeah, I'm just

1273
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: wondering if you're let's play that out. You're Philip Rivers.

1274
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: We know your family situation. You know you're you're not

1275
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: living It's not like you're living there in Indianapolis. You

1276
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: get the call, Phil we could use you. Are you

1277
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: interesting that at all? You're gonna rent me for a

1278
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: week and a half and you're giving me a couple

1279
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: of game checks. I guess, like, I can't see it.

1280
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 1: I just you know. It was the same thing last week,

1281
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: not even last week, a few days ago with Breeze

1282
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,959
Speaker 1: and the Saints, and it's like, no, I just don't

1283
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: think that guys of that stature. This is not, with

1284
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: all due respect, Blake Bortle's signing to come with the

1285
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: Saints to be a backup. These are these are marquee, beloved,

1286
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: legendary guys in the NFL. I don't think Philip Rivers

1287
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: is coming back. Would you think there's any chance Steve

1288
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: as the next player? You think there's your free chance

1289
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: to be like? Sure? None of the great players will

1290
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: do that. Here's the thing. They leave the game making

1291
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty million dollars and they've made that for what

1292
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: half a dozen years at least, right, I mean, they've

1293
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: made a ton of cash and they're sitting on it.

1294
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: Why And that's why none of the great players like

1295
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, like Drew Brees, like all these got none

1296
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: of those good Philip Rivers they do what they want

1297
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: to do. None of them wants the pressure packed thing

1298
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: of coming back and trying to be a head coach.

1299
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: They don't want it because you got to start from

1300
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: the bottom. You don't just come in and you're not

1301
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: a head coach. Rather, you gotta go back. Like Mike Vrabel,

1302
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: a linebacker coach at Ohio State. Yeah you got then

1303
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: you then you're quality control coach for an NFL team.

1304
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: You move up. None of these guys want to come

1305
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: back and start from scratch and build another career. They

1306
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: got too much money to do it. They've had too much.

1307
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: They want to do what they want to do. We

1308
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: want a pet coach at a high school. What about

1309
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: Brett fare Fell? He did it, He did what came back.

1310
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: He never left. He was out for like six he

1311
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: was out for like five minutes and he came back.

1312
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,799
Speaker 1: You know, the same thing. Same thing with Gronk. Gronk

1313
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: laid out for like twelve months and he said, man,

1314
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: now I feel good. Yeah I'll come back and play

1315
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: with Brady and Tampa. Yeah I'm in. That's I mean.

1316
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: None of these guys want to do that is it's

1317
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: not enough money and they you know, if they want

1318
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 1: to do what they want for a while, I think

1319
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: if Rivers doesn't do it, I think then you you

1320
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: gotta try and to luck again, and then you gotta

1321
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: try Jeff George and just see I feel shot up.

1322
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 1: You gotta try, right, Yeah, yeah, mullet man, Listen, you

1323
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: would be I think all of us would be shocked

1324
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: at the names that are seriously bantered in coaches offices

1325
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: because some of these guys have histories with these guys

1326
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: like Kurt Warner s you know, I mean, Carson Palmer.

1327
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,680
Speaker 1: You go down the list. There's some guys that who

1328
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: are very aged veterans that you like, give me, give

1329
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: me two, give me three days, and I can drop

1330
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: back twenty five times. You know they can do it.

1331
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you didn't bring up Steve de Burg. I

1332
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: was disappointed that name Eli Eli Peyton. You go down

1333
01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 1: the list, you get down the list. I'm telling you,

1334
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 1: all right, Kyle, we went. We went down the rabbit

1335
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: hole with Steve. They're sorry about that. It happens a

1336
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 1: lot um. I think they should call Dave Craig too.

1337
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: He's Dave Craig. Sure, uh uh okay, So Bill's Falcons.

1338
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: Not a lot of sizzle here, but let us know

1339
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: what you think, you know. I guess I'm tempted to say, uh,

1340
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:54,799
Speaker 1: trap game. The hell with all that. No, Atlanta has

1341
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 1: been been kind of just sitting there for a long time,

1342
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: kind of lists list. They have a couple of good

1343
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: players and pits and Cordell Patterson has been one of

1344
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: the great stories, and they have a veteran quarterback. I

1345
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: guess dangerous game. I'm just not gonna go there. I

1346
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: think this team found something, and this Bills team, I mean,

1347
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: I really do, and I just I think that they

1348
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: have been through the period you always talk about Brownie

1349
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: where they went about two months with win loss, win loss.

1350
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: I think they've got some sort of psychological clarity. It

1351
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: feels like a different team when you watch them than

1352
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: that team we watched in November. So listen, Hopefully you

1353
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: get the run game going and Alan doesn't have to

1354
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 1: throw fifty two passes. But not terribly concerned about this.

1355
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,439
Speaker 1: I'm just looking around the league and who they might play,

1356
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: show up, execute. I think they're locked in. They're right, yeah,

1357
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: fair enough, so handle a win by a comfortable margin. Yeah,

1358
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 1: that's yeah. I'm gonna say thirty three to twenty pretty comfortable. Yeah, yeah,

1359
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 1: we'll see it when it's always a consideration what the

1360
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 1: weather conditions are going to be up here and all

1361
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: that stuff. But I think you're right. I mean, I

1362
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 1: think the bills outstretched stretched these guys, even if they

1363
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: don't play their best. I think it's a shock to

1364
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: come up here when you live in Atlanta, come up

1365
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: to Buffalo and you know, step off that plane. It's

1366
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 1: a slap in the face. Yeah. My old co host

1367
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: Nate Burlsom always refers to this time of year as

1368
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,759
Speaker 1: car shipping time, and I was like, what the hell's

1369
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 1: car shipping? He said, And he explains that some of

1370
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: these players who are so successful and so affluent, they

1371
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: ship their cars from if they live in Buffalo or

1372
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:27,759
Speaker 1: Atlanta or whatever, and they put them on a freighter

1373
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: or a car carry whatever, and they send them back

1374
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: to Florida or Arizona wherever they live in the offseason.

1375
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: And he says that sometimes at the end of the year,

1376
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 1: you can watch teams and tell the guys who are

1377
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 1: shipping their cars already, and that's just their way of

1378
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 1: saying they've mailed it in, and you know, there Bentley

1379
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: is on the back of a flatbread somewhere, so we'll

1380
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: see if Atlanta might be in car shipping mode. We'll

1381
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: see what they're made of. But hopefully they get there

1382
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: by halftime. Ryle thanks is always kind of time. Forecast

1383

Speaker 1: mister tasker, breathe easy, he calm, relax, A little little

1386
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 1: whiskey at night. Cook, put you right to sleep, my friend.

1387
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: You don't have to appreciate him. A schedules. Schedules for

1388
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: our next therapy session next week, Yes, sir, no problems.

1389
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 1: Gyle Brand joining us here from Good Morning Football. As uh,

1390
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: he's got the bills by thirteen. On Sunday, they opened

1391
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 1: up his fourteen point favorites. Wow, he's somebody's paying attention

1392
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: to the Vegas line. I didn't, I don't I heard it.

1393
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 1: Somebody said yesterday. I think somebody said it yesterday. Um,

1394
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:42,000
Speaker 1: and I so that's interesting. So we'll see. But um,

1395
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta win this game. I mean, well, look,

1396
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: the magnitude of last week's game was palpable for the

1397
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:57,600
Speaker 1: players on this team, and there was the added incentive

1398
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:02,679
Speaker 1: to make right what went wrong three weeks earlier. Now

1399
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: you've got to summon it up and finish the job.

1400
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: You got over the tallest hurdle that was left on

1401
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 1: your schedule. Don't get tripped up on one of the

1402
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: lower ones as you look at the finish line up ahead,

1403
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: because nobody's gonna forgive you right if if you step

1404
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 1: your toe here these last two weeks, take care of business,

1405
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 1: finish the job. You would not be able to look

1406
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: yourself in the mirror if this game goes south, if

1407
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: you didn't play your best getting beat by a better team.

1408
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: If if Atlanta comes in here and just and goes off,

1409
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 1: I get it. But if you come in here and

1410
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: lay down and it's one of those six to three games,

1411
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: or or if it's like an Indianapolis game where they

1412
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 1: come in they do something all of a sudden it's

1413
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:51,680
Speaker 1: fourteen or something, Yeah you got You got to live

1414
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: with yourself for a long long time after those games,

1415
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 1: and that's that's a squasher. Yeah, we're gonna take a

1416
01:13:57,600 --> 01:13:59,640
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back. We'll get some of

1417
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the tweet sheet, as we haven't checked

1418
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: in on our poll as of yet, which has been

1419
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 1: a pretty balanced one as far as the voting goes.

1420
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: What's the most underrated part of this Bills team the

1421
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,839
Speaker 1: last few weeks and why choices are a player leadership

1422
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 1: be offensive line see roster depth or d something else.

1423
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 1: And it's still a pretty tight race there, especially between

1424
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 1: B and C Way in there at one Bills Live.

1425
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think where you can give

1426
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 1: us a call at eight oh three oh five fifty

1427
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: back in a flash here on one Bills Live presented

1428
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:43,639
Speaker 1: by Klaud of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. The biggest

1429
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: third down in the game, Alla not much of a watch.

1430
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: Fires in stride McKenzie with another crab shows us personality

1431
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 1: on and off of the field. And I am extremely

1432
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: thankful to have a guy like that as a teammate.

1433
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 1: And he was unbelievable today. You know, I think he

1434
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 1: had eleven plus catches, one hundred plus yards, a touchdown

1435
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: in the open drive. Just phenomenal, phenomenal day for him,

1436
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: and I'm so so happy for him. I can't express

1437
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 1: that enough. I just had to step up, and all

1438
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 1: my coaches believe in me, Josh believing me, gim me

1439
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 1: the ball, and I made place and That's all I

1440
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 1: wanted to do to help the team win. That is

1441
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 1: your Freedo La Crunch time play of the game. Freedo La,

1442
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 1: official sponsor of the Buffalo Bills. And we turn now

1443
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 1: to our tweet Chet Steve, brought to you by Corrigan

1444
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:37,719
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills.

1445
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: From from to check in on our poll today, which

1446
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: is what's the most underrated part of this Bills team

1447
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: the last few weeks and why? And leading us off

1448
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 1: there is Seth who says, hey, play player leadership. Guys

1449
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:59,839
Speaker 1: like JP and Micah, Jordan Poyer and Micah even digs,

1450
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 1: We're not about to let this team continue to slide.

1451
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: Needed some tough love and reflection. Amplified attitude this time

1452
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: of year can go a long way, I will say.

1453
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott did say after the game on Sunday, their

1454
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 1: player leadership has been instrumental the last two weeks. Coming

1455
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:21,600
Speaker 1: out of that Bucks game, it helps, no question about it.

1456
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 1: You can't have your can't ask your head coach, even

1457
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, you know, Mike Tomlin, Sean McDermott, you name

1458
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: your head coach, they'll tell you that when you've got

1459
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: really good veteran you've got players on the in the

1460
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 1: locker room that are great leaders. It makes their job

1461
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 1: a lot easier and it makes your team a lot

1462
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:45,800
Speaker 1: better than if your head coach has to come in

1463
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: and do all that, you know, and set the tone

1464
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: and all that. Certainly, good head coaches can do that

1465
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 1: and do it on occasion. Even with good leadership. When

1466
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 1: you got players like they last a long time and

1467
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: it never lets up. There's always a voice in the

1468
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,680
Speaker 1: locker room that's reminding every player and keeping them on

1469
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: point about what they're doing and why they're doing and

1470
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 1: what the goal is. And you know, it's it's huge,

1471
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 1: and so I applauded and there's no question and we've

1472
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:12,280
Speaker 1: kind of gotten thrown by the wayside. But remember everybody

1473
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 1: was like, wow, Steph Diggs got electric to captain this

1474
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 1: year and it's his first time ever and he it

1475
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:26,680
Speaker 1: meant something to him, which is cool, and I you

1476
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 1: know he's he said he started doing research on what

1477
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: it meant, like, how do I do it? How do

1478
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 1: I lead? What's the best way, what's the most effective

1479
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 1: things I can do some of the things. So he

1480
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: has actually made a concerted effort to change his behavior

1481
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 1: into something that would help his team win through his leadership.

1482
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: So it's interesting that people are starting to notice, you know,

1483
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 1: a difference, particularly at a time of the season when

1484
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:52,639
Speaker 1: you really needed it. Guys like Steph Diggs, pour your hide, Josh,

1485
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 1: you name it, they've all played a role in that.

1486
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: That's I think it's really really cool to see. Jack says,

1487
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 1: how to go with the depth. No one has completely

1488
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,599
Speaker 1: prepared for these COVID protocols, and every team says next

1489
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: man up. But the Bills really have done a nice

1490
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: job of soldiering on the line, shuffled multiple times, still

1491
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: kept Allen upright. Two wide receivers go out, two more

1492
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: step in and played great. You know, Jack is right

1493
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: about that. The guys that have stepped in have performed admirably,

1494
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: whether it was Gabe Davis stepping in for Emmanuel Sanders

1495
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: a few weeks back in Tampa and then in successive

1496
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 1: weeks after that Isaiah Mackenzie we had on the show

1497
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: earlier today. The offensive linemen that have shuffled in and

1498
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: out of the lineup most have done a good job.

1499
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 1: And while you can definitively say the Bills haven't been

1500
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: hit as hard at one particular time, with like ten

1501
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: guys on the COVID list in the span of three days.

1502
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 1: Like some of these other teams, they have been affected

1503
01:18:57,120 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: by it, and they've been able to push through it

1504
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 1: without much of a drop off in terms of on

1505
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 1: field production. Yeah, that speaks to your roster depth. Yeah.

1506
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 1: Every team's been pushed to the limits this year, some

1507
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 1: of them more than others. Baltimore to be for an example, Cleveland,

1508
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 1: the Rams San Francisco against you know, So they've had moments.

1509
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 1: All the teams have had moments, as they always had

1510
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 1: to do, but it's usually only with you know, an injury.

1511
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 1: Then you've got a team like Cleveland going into a

1512
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:34,760
Speaker 1: game without twenty two guys, you know, and then what

1513
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 1: happened last night with New Orleans with their injuries and COVID.

1514
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: It's to have a team as deep as the Bills

1515
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 1: have walked into this season with is one of the

1516
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: reasons why if they do, if they do go on

1517
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: to win a championship, that's one of the reasons they

1518
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: deserve it is because they built a squad that was

1519
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: that deep. Yeah, no question about it, especially with one

1520
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,760
Speaker 1: more regular season game this year. You know, the wear

1521
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 1: and tear. You gotta have a deep roster. You just

1522
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:04,759
Speaker 1: have to. And you know, the league has afforded teams

1523
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,719
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do that with a sixteen player practice squad,

1524
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, for the second straight year. So yeah, you

1525
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 1: know it. But you gotta have the right guys, and

1526
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: you got to have some measure of quality even though

1527
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 1: you have players sitting on the practice squad. JT says,

1528
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 1: it's the depth we have. We have backups on this

1529
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,639
Speaker 1: team that could start on other rosters. They always step

1530
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: up when their numbers called. Take McKenzie for example, versatile

1531
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: player can do it. All improved its Sunday. This team

1532
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:37,639
Speaker 1: rallies together. They're a family out there. Yeah, no argument here.

1533
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: Tom says, all three. But I picked C, which was

1534
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: roster dep Yeah, so that seems to be a popular

1535
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: pick here. He said, time to step up. No ps excuses,

1536
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't fly this time of year. Yeah, roster depth,

1537
01:20:56,960 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of taken the lead here forty six per

1538
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 1: cent of the vote. Pretty good, pretty good poll. Though.

1539
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:06,640
Speaker 1: I gotta say old line protection is offensive line I

1540
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 1: think is really getting underrated. I think, and that's the question.

1541
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the underrated part the old line is the

1542
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:14,920
Speaker 1: underrated or is this by by definition it's the other

1543
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 1: they're asking for the most underrated part of this Bill's team.

1544
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: In the last few weeks, I that the old Line.

1545
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been on them because you know, they've

1546
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: struggled with being shuffled around and their production is limited.

1547
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 1: They can't run the football, and I think one of

1548
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:31,640
Speaker 1: the reasons you run the football wells you got a

1549
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: cohesion up front. They don't have that. They haven't been

1550
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: playing together and have him shuffled during the game. In

1551
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 1: the first half of this game against the Patriots, it's

1552
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: unbelievable how well they played and how well they protected Josh.

1553
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 1: Certainly Josh had to move out of pocket once in

1554
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 1: a while, but man, even their run game wasn't abysmal.

1555
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,880
Speaker 1: Josh was the leading rusher. But I went back and

1556
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 1: watched the game again, Brownie, and the running game was

1557
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:57,599
Speaker 1: effective because it didn't go backwards, you know what I mean.

1558
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:01,639
Speaker 1: I mean, even a hard run first ten second and seven,

1559
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 1: that's it's not a great but it's not second and thirteen.

1560
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 1: It's not second and ten, second and seven. That's about

1561
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: as effective as you'll see it. Because they just stopped

1562
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 1: going backwards so often. Yeah, you know what I mean,

1563
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 1: jumping being looks like they picked other If you go

1564
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: back and watch the Tampa game, you can see the

1565
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 1: switch flip. The whole team has been playing like a

1566
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: wounded dog since then, especially the offense. They're playing like

1567
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 1: they have something to prove. I've been waiting for this, Yeah,

1568
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:36,600
Speaker 1: I think we all have. You know, after the inconsistencies

1569
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:38,719
Speaker 1: for that two months stretch in the middle of the season,

1570
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:42,799
Speaker 1: finally seeing them stack wins again is very refreshing, especially

1571
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: when you're playing two pretty good defenses. I mean, Carolina

1572
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: doesn't have much on offense, but the number two defense

1573
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 1: in the league despite that, and the Patriots, with the

1574
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 1: number three defense in the league, and you know, they

1575
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 1: had answers for both of them. Scored more thirty points

1576
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 1: on each of those teams. That I think that's the

1577
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 1: thing that gives you a lot of gives you a

1578
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:06,759
Speaker 1: lot of confidence going forward. They've scored twenty s twenty

1579
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 1: seven at Tampa, thirty one in Carolina, and you know,

1580
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: obviously thirty three against Carolina. They're starting to score points

1581
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:18,719
Speaker 1: in bunches like they have thirty one back in New Orleans.

1582
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: So they're Yeah, they're starting to click offensively, and Josh

1583
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 1: is starting to look a lot like he did last year,

1584
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:29,400
Speaker 1: where every time he let he releases the football, you think, okay,

1585
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna catch it. Yeah, let's go to the phones

1586
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 1: where Jessica has been waiting. Patient, Lean Jessica in two

1587
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 1: Why do your own one bills live? What do you

1588
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 1: have for us? Oh? Yay, thanks for taking the call.

1589
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 1: He've got a question or thoughts on about the offensive

1590
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: site of pretty much last game and a few of

1591
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:50,640
Speaker 1: the games that we've had struggles with, And I'm just

1592
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 1: seeing this as a thought going forward. Basically, time management

1593
01:23:55,360 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: is one that I'm actually looking yet, especially with last teams.

1594
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: There was like just before the half, we had like

1595
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:06,679
Speaker 1: a minute, you know, going into halftime, and I figured,

1596
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 1: you know, they could have had enough time to maybe

1597
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,519
Speaker 1: gotten down the field, gotten maybe some points, maybe a

1598
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 1: field gold, you know, just to get a little extra

1599
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 1: up above New England. Not putting anything that granted for

1600
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: New England, especially with Belichick and then the other side,

1601
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: or thoughts getting into crunch time situations, what's your thoughts

1602
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 1: about going into like no huddle calls? Um, you know,

1603
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if the offensive line is even tried

1604
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,639
Speaker 1: that I don't think they've seen it, or if not,

1605
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: you know, if that's something that they should kind of

1606
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: getting into maybe a little bit of a rhythm of doing,

1607
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: because you see other teams and they see the urgency

1608
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 1: that you know, they might have a shot and they

1609
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: try to, you know, make the most of the time

1610
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: that they have. Um just you know, seeing you know,

1611
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: you want to take a match of the time that

1612
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 1: you have your thoughts. Tell you this, Jessica, it's good questions.

1613
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:03,280
Speaker 1: And I've heard a lot of guy, a lot of

1614
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 1: media people wonder the same thing as you do. At

1615
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 1: the end of the first half, they they try to

1616
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 1: pass down the sideline. The problem was they got to

1617
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 1: pass an offensive pass interference on the play and when

1618
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 1: you're trying to get a drive start, you need a

1619
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: positive play. And the Bills, and I don't know if

1620
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:20,559
Speaker 1: I'll disagree with you, and I don't know if you

1621
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,600
Speaker 1: really believe this or what the Bills actually to me

1622
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:24,600
Speaker 1: are one of the best teams in the league. In

1623
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: the final two minutes of a half of the first half.

1624
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: They are very good at maximizing timeout usage and moving

1625
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 1: the football to get points, and we've heard it, you

1626
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 1: know where they double dip they get points and in

1627
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: the first half they ate the ball coming out of halftime.

1628
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: They've been extremely good at him this last week. The

1629
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:43,639
Speaker 1: first play did him in. It was first and ten.

1630
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 1: It was first and twenty on their ten yard line,

1631
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 1: and then that's when they ran the quarterback right and

1632
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: fifty six seconds so that's when they ran the quarterback

1633
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 1: draw to Josh. He got like twelve yards or eight

1634
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 1: or nine yards on a play that came up. It

1635
01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: was second and twelve and that was it. So if

1636
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 1: Josh would have rant snapped that off and got a

1637
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 1: twenty five yard game, they might have kept trying that.

1638
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: But I think what happened was the penalty on first

1639
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,840
Speaker 1: down squashed him and they said, all right, you know what,

1640
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 1: let's let's not get crazy. We're getting the ball at

1641
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 1: the start of the second half. Let's not even worry

1642
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 1: about ball. Let's not even worry about ball handling. Let

1643
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: Josh take this run this up there. And because they

1644
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: were in back, they totally backed out. Their coverage was

1645
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:24,639
Speaker 1: way soft. They ran a quarterback draw. They figured with

1646
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: the defensive linement the way it was Josh didn't gonna

1647
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 1: take a hard hit because he's gonna be running through space,

1648
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 1: which is exactly what happened. He just couldn't get enough

1649
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 1: yards to for him to go for it again. But

1650
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 1: the penalty was a thing that killed him. Secondly, the

1651
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,599
Speaker 1: thing you said about up tempo offense, and then I

1652
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 1: get that you're right, except for this, every single possession

1653
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: the Bills had the ball, except for that end of half,

1654
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 1: first half, and in the end of the game when

1655
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:51,559
Speaker 1: they knelt down, every single possession in the in the game,

1656
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: the Bills got it down inside the Patriot twenty yard line. Pace.

1657
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,600
Speaker 1: They didn't need to help with pace. They didn't need

1658
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 1: help with it. They didn't need help at all. They

1659
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 1: didn't need to do anything different than what they were

1660
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: doing in this last game. That all they need to

1661
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 1: do is line up and run it because they were

1662
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 1: crushing that team. They were moving the football as as

1663
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: good as they want. So at times you want to

1664
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:13,640
Speaker 1: change up the pace. Maybe, Yeah, if they get some

1665
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 1: guys out there that you don't want them to have

1666
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:17,719
Speaker 1: to be able to switch, you turn up the pace,

1667
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 1: and then you you negate their ability to run guys

1668
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:22,719
Speaker 1: on and off the field because you'll be running plays,

1669
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 1: so that may be a time when you use it

1670
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 1: for sure, But I think in this last game they

1671
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 1: needed no help. Break time for us. Here, Steve and

1672

Speaker 1: Bowl this year. He did in twenty seventeen when he

1695
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 1: had five interceptions for the nine and seven Bills that year. Yeah,

1696
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 1: it's hard to make when you get two interceptions after

1697
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:09,599
Speaker 1: the voting's done. Well, this is true. Jordan Poyer had five.

1698
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,600
Speaker 1: I know Jordan Poyer was playing well right from the

1699
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: get and had better stats. And Tyron Matthew who made

1700
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. Maybe if they see the Chiefs down

1701
01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:20,800
