1 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field. 2 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 3 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: player for you save a blimp. We're not even in 4 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: the thredit bear of normalcy. All right, rocking and rolling 5 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: here on a hump day Wednesday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker 6 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: with you as we are motoring downhill towards the divisional 7 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: playoff between the Bills and Chiefs. It will be the 8 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: culmination of backside of the hump. It will be the 9 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: culmination of the divisional playoff weekend. This is the finale 10 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: of the weekend, the six thirty PM game on Sunday, 11 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: prime time to exercise yet another demon that has stood 12 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: in the way of the Bills making it to the 13 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: old him ad game. This really is going to be 14 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: if you think about it, Steve, assuming some of these 15 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: playoff results play out the way we anticipate, had to 16 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: exercise the twenty year demon that was the Patriots check. 17 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: Now have to exercise the playoff demon the Kansas City Chiefs, 18 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: And if they check that box, then they will have 19 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: to exercise potentially the regular season bad luck demon because 20 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: the two games against the Titans in the last two 21 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: years were wrecked by a rescheduling, snaff food due to COVID, 22 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: and wrecked by poor footing on the last play of 23 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: a game. I'm gonna go out on an enormous limb 24 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: and say that this division round against the Chiefs is 25 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: gonna be harder to win than the Patriots game was on. Yeah, 26 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: what a limb that WASNA. I know I'm taking a risk. 27 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: You are. You are a risk taker with a capital heartake, 28 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna stick with it. I think this game 29 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: is going to be more difficult than the Patriots game 30 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: turned out to be. We have a jam packed show 31 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: for you today. If we were in Las Vegas on 32 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: the Strip, all these names would be out on the 33 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: sign out front. Steve that's right, coming up in about 34 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: a half an hour ESPN, Sal Palantonio gonna check in 35 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: with us on the divisional playoff weekend. Then second hour 36 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: of the show NFL on CBS number one play by 37 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: play man Jim Nance, who's doing Bill's Chiefs, will join us. 38 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: Hello friends, former colleague of mine. That's right, so he 39 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: will be here for our number two. And then in 40 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: the final forty minutes of this here show, the newest 41 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: addition to the offensive line. Ryan Rick Bates will be 42 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: joining us the Penn State Alum to discuss what has 43 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: come together and jailed so well. So upfront, what happened 44 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: this Bill's line, what happened in his life that one 45 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 1: of his buddies just called him Rick. Oh I was here, 46 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: it happened here, and they just couldn't remember his names. 47 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: This Rick, that Rick Bates guy, and it just stuck. Yeah, 48 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: one is hilarious. One of our local reporters wrote the story. 49 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: And now I can't remember who started calling him that. 50 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if Ryan identified who the initial offender 51 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: was that misnamed him. Um, but you know, when you're 52 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie, you just kind of roll with it. 53 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: Yeah you don't. You don't say, hey, that's not my 54 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: name my name. I just say yes, sir, I was there. 55 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: It's funny though, Ryan Rick Bates, Yeah, I kind of 56 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: like doing the two names. A lot of people are 57 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: just going by Rick, but I like doing you know, 58 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm a fan of alliteration, so I kind of like 59 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: Ryan Rick Bates. I like going r r there. Yeah. 60 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: So we'll talk to him and the tail end of 61 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: the show today, So plenty plenty to get to and 62 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: there's even an opportunity potentially for post practice comments from 63 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: the players that will be addressing the media after practice, 64 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: which usually includes Josh Allen, Jordan Poyer, Stefan Diggs and 65 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: or Devin Singletary. So provided those guys address the media 66 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: before we're off the air, we could even get some 67 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: more comments from some other players about this upcoming matchup, 68 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: which I think will have the balance of this weekend's attention. 69 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: Like I'm saying, beyond just Bills fans, I think the 70 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: vast majority of the country is going to be really 71 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: glued to this one, not only because it's two familiar 72 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: teams that were in the playoffs last year, but you've 73 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: got two all world quarterbacks going toe to toe. Yeah, 74 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean this is as close as this generation of 75 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: fans is going to get to Marino Kelly kind of stuff, right, Like, 76 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: that's what we're looking at. And think about this, and 77 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 1: how much do you think lay Kelly named your parents? 78 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: I think this is something because all six games last weekend, 79 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: all the wild card games, were standalone, and the Bills 80 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: was the second, like in the power window of Saturday, right, 81 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: they were like the four they were the eight fifteen game, right, 82 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: so people were watching and to see the Bills put 83 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: up that you know, that beat down on Campra with 84 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: Josh playing virtually a perfect game with more touchdowns than incompletions, 85 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: and the last incompletion happened like with twelve and a 86 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: half minutes to go in the second quarter. I mean, 87 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: do you think that. Do you think somebody somewhere along 88 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: right now we've been there. I mean, all Bills fans 89 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: and the people who cover the team have listened to 90 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: the polarization of Josh Allen that he was when he 91 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: first got drafted. Nobody's ever been doubted more or hated 92 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: on more at the beginning of their career and going 93 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: on to disprove them to the extent Josh Allen has 94 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: so far. But do you think there are people tuned 95 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 1: in to say, Okay, I'm gonna that are finally watching 96 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: the guy play, Because some of these people who've hated 97 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: on Josh are like you get the feeling they're just 98 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: looking at numbers on a page three days after the game, right, 99 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: and they're cherry picking a bad play here and a 100 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: bad play there. I mean, there's still people who think 101 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: he's the lateral guy, the Houston Texan game. Yeah, it's 102 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: funny you say that, because I was talking to a 103 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: national reporter who I don't believe had ever seen a 104 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: Josh Allen game start to finish, and he was watching 105 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: this game, and he said, watching this guy like an 106 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: entire game start to finish. He goes, it's not entertaining. 107 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: It's an experience. It's like the Jimmy Hendricks experience. Like 108 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It's like it's a totally 109 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: different thing. You're catching some nuance when you watch him 110 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: in person. I mean, I was down on the sidelines. 111 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: And by the way, when I when I do the 112 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: sideline games, I did it for a long long time. 113 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: I haven't done it for a while. I keep telling people, 114 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: I said, don't you know, if they offer you to 115 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: let you do it, don't do it until you're late 116 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: in life, because you'll never really want to watch the 117 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: game any other way. Yeah, you get spoiled, you get Yeah, 118 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable the size and speed of all the guys, 119 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: not just like guys like Josh and Dion Dawkins and 120 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau, well, I mean like poyr and Hide. I mean, 121 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: you see those guys walking around their pads. It's like GOLLI. 122 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: You know you can you got to think about, you know, 123 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: taking them on physically as a football player. But the 124 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: speed and the size and the athleticism and the intensity 125 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: that just kind of exudes from it. Plus you can 126 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,119 Speaker 1: feel the groundshake when they get pushed out of bounds 127 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: in front of him. I mean, it's you know, it's startling. 128 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: But I was there. You catch when you're there in 129 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: person and you watch it even on TV, you catch 130 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: nuance of what's going on in the field where you 131 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: can catch. You don't have to just you're not limited 132 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: to what's just on the camera. You see how the 133 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: guy acts. Like I told you yesterday, I thought Josh 134 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: got whacked on that Dawson knocks throwaway touchdown. He did 135 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: get hit. He got hit out a bounce and I've 136 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: been marked off on the ensuing kickoff in my opinion, 137 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: right and right. And they they announced it says there 138 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: is no foul. There's no foul. I didn't even I 139 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: forgot they did that, but I watched the replay and 140 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: it was like they announced that there was no penalty 141 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: for hitting the quarterback, and I thought he was playing 142 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: off a bad hurt because he didn't celebrate the injury. 143 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: But you catch stuff like that when you watch the 144 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: game in person, and I'm telling you're right that guy. 145 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: There are people who still have not seen the guy 146 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: play and have been talking, you know, bickering and hating 147 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: on him and discounting what he does. He's made as 148 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: many plays that are wild plays, if not more plays. 149 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: Then people went crazy over Mahomes making. Now the Bills 150 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: haven't advanced as far as the Chiefs have during the 151 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: early part of his career, no question about it. If 152 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: the Bills win that game last year in Kansas City 153 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: at the end of the year at the AFC Championship game, 154 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: things might be different because then people would have to 155 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,319 Speaker 1: take notice of it and go back and look or 156 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: whatever and whatever. Maybe that'll happen this year, you know, 157 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: if they went, even if they don't, depending on how 158 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: he plays. But there's still people who just, yeah, I've 159 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: seen him play, which just crazy to think at this 160 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: point in time, you know, four years in and they 161 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, anybody who doubts the guy or 162 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: has you know, bad things what he can't carry. The 163 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: Guy's carried the team at different spots in the season. 164 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: Now I get it too, there's been some games. It's 165 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: been an up and down years to stistically for him 166 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: once in a while, hasn't it Also for Mahomes, like 167 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: the first half of the year. I mean, think where 168 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: those guys were, you know, and all these other teams 169 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: that were up and down. That's amazing. I maybe this, 170 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: games like this will give him a chance to silence 171 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: more people who haven't seen him play and yet have 172 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: an opinion about him. Drives me crazy. Yeah, And some 173 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: fans have expressed this, and I sadly feel that they 174 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: are correct. Josh is gonna have to win a Super 175 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: Bowl to get to get the kind of universal credit 176 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: that we see people like Mahomes and Rogers and Brady. 177 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: Yet you got one. Here's the thing. That game that 178 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: they played, not just him, but the whole team played 179 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: last Saturday night, And I get it was the Patriots. 180 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: There's a little bit extra baggage in there. And I 181 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: know the Patriots were, you know, a team with a 182 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback and all that, but they were they were 183 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: the number two scoring defense in the league. That game, 184 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, offense and defense, was 185 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: a work of art. It was an absolute work of art, 186 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: and there are people out there that are still just 187 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: hohumming it. And the problem for me now is going 188 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: into that game. You remember the guy Teddy Johnson, the 189 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: former lineback from the Patriots. There's no way Josh Allen 190 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: can duplicate what he did December twenty sixth in Foxburg. 191 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: There's no way he can play that good again, not 192 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: back to back games against the same team, not against 193 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: the Bill Belichick team. I mean, what are we talking about? Yeah? 194 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: How can now? How can you like do that? And 195 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: then pooh pooh it anybody? Yeah, I don't know, We'll see. 196 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: We are discussing with you today. This upcoming matchup between 197 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: the Bills and the Chiefs and how it might be 198 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: different from their Week five game early October seems like 199 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: an eo And with the way that NFL seasons morph 200 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: and change for teams, both teams are considerably different than 201 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: the kinds of teams that they were back in Week five. 202 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: Back in Week five, Kansas City's defense was a messy, 203 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: Buffalo's offense was still shuffling people on their offensive line, 204 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: and Buffalo's defense still had Tredavious White, although they did 205 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: not have Matt Milano. If you remember, in that Week 206 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: five game, Kansas City's defense didn't even have Chris Jones. 207 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, they were missing some pieces big time. And 208 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: and Daniel Sorensen was still a starting safety he's not 209 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: now in most cases since then, well right now, he 210 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: still plays for them. He got a little undressed in 211 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: that game, especially by Dawson Knox. That was a mismatch 212 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: from the jump, and it wasn't until the latter stages 213 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: of the games that they made some changes, brought one 214 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: Thornhill on to play with Tyranne Matthew as a safety tandem. 215 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: So Thornhill is playing considerably more now in Kansas City Secondary. 216 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: He's the more athletic of the two safeties between him 217 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: and Sorenson. Sorenson is resourceful, but he's not a high 218 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: end athlete, and that's where that's what gets him into trouble, 219 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: especially against teams. And they got him into trouble last 220 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: time because Josh was buying time and extending plays and 221 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: Sourson just can't athletically keep up right once a game, 222 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: but it gets after the you know, after the timing 223 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: of the plays shot, he gets into trouble quick yeah, 224 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: so let us know how you think this Bill's Chiefs 225 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: playoff matchup might be different from how that Week five 226 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: game played out. And tell us why eight oh three 227 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty. 228 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: We want to get to the phones now, as we 229 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: got a couple of people waiting there at a three 230 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: five fifty, But an open line for you as well. 231 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: We lead it off today with Bob and Hamburg. What 232 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: do you have for us? Bob, you're on one Bills Live. Hey, guys, 233 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. I gotta say the Bills, 234 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: after the performance they put on this weekend, got such 235 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: a lack of respect um not to mention their defense. 236 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: Their defense was never mentioned as being the number one 237 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: defense and any of the major networks. I don't want 238 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: to understand. I mean, the defense has been having such 239 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: a good such a good year. The Bill's offense crossed 240 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots, but yet a lot of a lot of 241 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: different um uh media places just said that the Patriots 242 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: were done and it was an easy win. Well, right, 243 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: it was an easy win, and people can explain it 244 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: away however they want, you Bob, but I will say this, 245 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: I think part of the issue there is what do 246 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: national media people gravitate to, maybe more than anything else 247 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: when talking about NFL defenses. They gravitate to star power, Right, 248 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: that's what they gravitate to. Everybody talks about the quarterback 249 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: on offense, they look for the star power on defense. 250 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: What do you hear about the most when the Rams 251 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: are playing defense? No Aaron Donald, No, Jalen Ramsey. Unbelievable talents. 252 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, look at I mean, you hear Aaron 253 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: Donald mentioned about fifty times during a Rams broadcast, you know, 254 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: or Jalen Ramsey one or the other, anytime they're even 255 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: within the remote vicinity of the quarterback or the football 256 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: on the back end. Oh all right, unbelievable talent that 257 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: they have on this Rams defense. Well, the Bills don't 258 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: have a single Pro Bowl player. I don't think that's right. 259 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: And yes, Jordan Poyer got first team All Pro, and 260 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: we know Micah Hyde got second team All and I 261 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: needily even noted it in the telecast when Hi made 262 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: the interception, the second team All Pro blah blah blah. 263 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: But household names on Buffalo's defense do not exist. And 264 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: because of that, I think the national media still to 265 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: this point overlooks their accomplishments this season. So when you 266 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: see this Bill's defense talk about how they still feel 267 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: they have some respect to earn. It's not at the 268 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,479 Speaker 1: local level, it's not amongst the Bills fans, it's nationally. 269 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: They feel they are still not getting the respect that 270 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: even numbers on paper plainly tell everybody they deserve. And 271 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: I don't blame them. Their doubters will say, well, the 272 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: Bills had a soft schedule this year, Well, you know 273 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: what quarterbacks did they really play this year? You know that, 274 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: you can say that, but you know what they in 275 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: their wins they won going away in dominant fashion. Well, 276 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: and not only that, Steve, you can't blame the players 277 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: or the coaches for who they have to line up 278 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: and play against. They don't make the schedule, and I 279 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: get that, and there's and there's something too that they 280 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: got to play who they gotta play, no question about it. 281 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: But when they win in dominant fashion, they won. Eleven 282 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: of their games were by twelve, twelve points or more. 283 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 1: I mean, they were crushing people. The inconsistencies came and 284 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: they had one they had one defensive game where what 285 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: it was the cult game. They were they got trounced, 286 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: were giving up forty one points to a highly motivated 287 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: Coult team. Okay, but man, old man, show me it. 288 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: Show me another team that you know did a better 289 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: job overall. You know, they gave up fourteen points to 290 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: the Patriots, who with that win, the Patriots were the 291 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: number one seed in the conference. They were the number 292 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: two seed going in. They won by four points, and 293 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: now then they were the number one seed and they 294 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: lost by four points of bills. They gave up fourteen points. Yeah, 295 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: they gave up two hundred twenty two yards rushing, didn't 296 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: have to throw the football. All they need was one 297 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: play to win that game and then it's all forgiven, 298 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: you know. So, yeah, they are playing really well and consistently. Certainly, 299 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: the schedule is what it is. But man, they were dominant. 300 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: They're not dominant. And I don't know if this makes 301 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: you feel any better. What was it Kevin and Hamburg? Right, 302 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: Bob at Hamburg. I don't know if this makes you 303 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: feel any better, But Vegas is showing him respect. The 304 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: line on this game, Chiefs are only given two and 305 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: a half. I mean, they're not even given the Chiefs 306 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: the customary three two and a half Bills are two 307 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: and a half point underdogs. That's some respect right there, 308 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: especially with the record that the Chiefs have had in 309 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: the Pat Mahomes era. At home in the playoffs, they 310 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: are six and one and they're only a dumb off 311 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: sides penalty away from being seven and oh yeah, because 312 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: they're only loss at home in the playoffs was four 313 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: D four jumping off sides at by the end of 314 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: the game. Lining up off sides at the end of 315 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: the game against the Patriots, giving them the first down 316 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: they needed to solve the game on a pass. What 317 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: that was intercepted after you lined up off sides. That's 318 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: their only loss at home in the playoffs in the 319 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes era. So Vegas sees what you see, Bob. 320 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: So it's not everybody, but I understand your point completely. Yeah, 321 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: I agree, we get it. Get people are poop poo 322 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: in their schedule. They wouldn't. They didn't poop poo the 323 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: Patriots schedule, and they had the exact same schedule as 324 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: the Bills. They played Dallas, the Chargers in Cleveland, and 325 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: the Bills played Washington, Pittsburgh, and Kansas City. Those were 326 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: the three different games of the seventeen they played that 327 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: were different people. Other than that, the Patriots had the 328 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: exact same schedule the Bills did. And I think that's 329 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: what chaps a lot of Bills fans. Patriots seemed to 330 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: get a ton of credit for what they achieve and 331 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: the Bills seem to get less so for what they achieve, 332 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: especially on the defensive side of the ball. Whatever the 333 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: defense does something great in New England, Ah, masterfully crafted 334 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: by Belichick. Got his defense. They can morph and change 335 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: it to whatever you need him to be in any 336 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: given week. They're unbelievable. And then the Bills not only 337 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: play as well as them, they surpass them come the 338 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: end of the season, and just about every statistical category 339 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: pass them. And they don't get no Pro Bowlers nothing. Yeah. Yeah, 340 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: and here, and you know what I'll say, from a motion, 341 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: from a motivational standpoint, keep it coming, Keep it coming, 342 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: because because the players are at a point now where 343 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: they have a motto, keep sleeping on us. You hear 344 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: Mica say it all the time, keep sleeping on us. 345 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: Go ahead, keep sleeping on us. Because I'm telling you 346 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: right now, that's got the fire turned up. You don't 347 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: need any kindling to get it going for the for 348 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: the guys on that defense right now. Did you hear 349 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes at the end of last week's game in 350 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: the postgame press conference, he was still running hot. It 351 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the other team on the field. 352 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: It had to do with what he feels is still 353 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: a lack of respect for this defensive unit. He's game's 354 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: over fifteen minutes ago. He's still running hot the postgame 355 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: press conference. There's some fire over there, and I love it. Yeah, 356 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: so you want to keep disrespecting him, go right ahead, 357 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: because that's gonna do nothing but help this team. And 358 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 1: I'll say this when you and you can say it's 359 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: it's hokey, and it's like, wow, you're jumping through some 360 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: mental hoops to get to that point. Here's the thing. 361 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: When you challenge guys as a team, as a as 362 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: you know, and you challenge them and disrespect them and 363 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: what they've accomplished, when they know good and well they're 364 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: really good, it is the most effective motivator you can 365 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: come up with as as a team when you can 366 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: look at like put it. That's why they say bulletin 367 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: board man here when they catch somebody saying something about us. 368 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: Put it right on the bulletin boards and they circle 369 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: it right and they underline the guy who said it. 370 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: And Coach McDermott, to his credit, we recognized some of 371 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: that that was out there wherever it was, and went 372 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: to his team and said, real men, prove those kind 373 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: of people wrong with their actions. Prove them wrong right here. 374 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: Let me up in the I mean, it's like every 375 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: time you take a snap with that in mind, with 376 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: all those words in mind, with all the doubters in mind, 377 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: with all the haters and all the people who said 378 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: you can't do this, you're not that, you're not that, 379 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: you're you know, you are a joke. You are you 380 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: know you're not that good. Whenever you play a game 381 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: and all that's out there and you can think about it, 382 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: every play is a fight, and think about playing or 383 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: going to competing with somebody like that with that attitude 384 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: every single snap, it's hard to beat them. It's really 385 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,719 Speaker 1: hard to beat them. Let's go back to the phones 386 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: eight oh three oh five fifty and we go to 387 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: Jim in cheek to what do you have for us? Jim? 388 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, guys, enjoy the show. 389 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: Thank you. Uh did you see the report about Belichick 390 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: going into the Bell's locker room from one of the 391 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: Beat reporters. Yeah, it was it was Mike. It was 392 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: Mike Giardi from NFL Network reported that, Right. What was 393 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: that all about. Have you've heard anything else about that? Well, 394 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: we don't know the details of it. I will say this, 395 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: as much as Belichick's actions during games and some of 396 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: the high jinks and alleged infractions that we've heard over 397 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: the years, my guests, knowing his respect for quality play 398 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: on the field, would be that he went over there 399 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: to congratulate them and you know, wish them luck going forward. 400 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: Because I will say, Steve, and I don't know if 401 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: you caught this, it was the classic Bill Belichick dead 402 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: fish handshake at the end of the game. Yeah. In fact, 403 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: he might have said, Sean, i'll talk to you after, 404 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: I'll talk to you in the time. He might have said. 405 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: He might have done that, because Sean, Sean's reaction to 406 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: the to the greeting at the end of the game 407 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: was pretty telling. It was like, that's it. What was 408 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: that like? Yeah, he might have he was, he was surprised. 409 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say he was surprised. So 410 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: my my thought on this, Jim is Belichick, after having 411 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: a chance to decompress do all this postgame stuff, said 412 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: you know what, I should give them their due and 413 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: tell them nice job and wish them luck going for 414 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised because, and I'll say this, I've 415 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: I've had some personal interactions with Bill Belichick, um as 416 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: working for CBS for all those years on a number 417 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: of occasions, and what you see in the media and 418 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: what is perceived about him is probably not really accurate. 419 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: Um he You've seen guys like Rex Ryan and Dion Sanders, 420 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: other guys around the league who put on something for 421 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: the media. You know, Uh, Bill Belichick puts on something 422 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: very different for the media. He puts on what it 423 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: is you think he is that that and when the sourpuss, 424 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: single single sentence were onto one monotone, then you know 425 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: this dismissive attitude of how important whatever it is he's 426 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: doing he puts that on. That's not the kind of person. 427 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: He is, down deep, and he's got a lot of 428 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: respect for people who do what he does well. On 429 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: any given Sunday, he saw the December twenty sixth game 430 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: in Foxboro, he held on to Josh for a minute 431 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: and talk to him and said something to him because 432 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: he saw what Josh did in the game. You can 433 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: bet if he went into that locker room, he's gonna 434 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: say something to Sean McDermott and probably say something to 435 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: Brian day Ball too, I would think, but he would probably. 436 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: And those guys have a lot of respect for each other, 437 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: the coaches and the head coaches, and they have personal 438 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: relationships as well, so that's not out of the ordinary 439 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: for that to happen. Bill is probably as sensitive to anybody, 440 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: knowing how much people make of the interaction after games 441 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: that he has had in the past, so he probably 442 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: just said listen, I'm gonna come in. I'll come in 443 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 1: and say something to you after Mike Giardi described it 444 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: as an extended visit to the Bill's locker room after 445 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: his team suffered a forty seven seventeen defeat at him 446 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: Mark Stadium. That's NFL Networks Mike Giardi reporting that. And 447 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: of course, the last time we had ever heard or 448 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: found out about a Belichick visit to an opposing locker 449 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: room was back in Week four the Brady homecoming game. 450 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: Went and talked to Brady after that game that was 451 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: reported on, and we are aware of that. I wouldn't 452 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: be surprised through the course of his very long career 453 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: if Belichick had done that in other instances. Look, he's 454 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: not my favorite guy because I think they bend the 455 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: rules better than anybody. But in terms of doing right 456 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: by a team that thumped you, you know seven ways, 457 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: he's not shy about doing that. He will he will 458 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: give you your due. Yeah, if that in fact happened. 459 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: So I don't even know if I'm ready to give 460 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: him a green checkmark for that, but I'll give him 461 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: credit for doing the right thing at the end of 462 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: a game. I think handshake on the field left something 463 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: to be desired. I think the end of the game 464 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: handshake is a direct you know, was it conscious decision 465 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: on his part and he knew he was going to 466 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: be able to go over and see the game. You know, 467 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be my best right here, So 468 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: why don't you catch me in about a half an hour? Yeah, exactly, 469 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: something like that. He says, I'll you know what, I'll 470 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: talk to you in the locker room app and shouted 471 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: like okay, you know whatever. We have to take a 472 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: break here because when we come back, we're gonna be 473 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: joined by ESPN's Sal Palantonio, who's gonna be talking divisional 474 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: playoff weekend with us when we return here on One 475 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. 476 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

It is one Sal 481 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: Palantonio joining us. Sal, how are you you're digging into 482 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: playoff football here? Yeah, I'm on my way to Kansas City. Gentlemen, 483 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to Sunday night. Yeah, it should be good. 484 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: And I know that I you know, knowing your coverage 485 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: of the league, particularly in and around the Philadelphia area, 486 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: I did want to bounce off you. You know, Andy 487 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: Reid and the Sean McDermott relationship which goes far deeper 488 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: than that on both of these staffs with a lot 489 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: of guys with Philadelphia tie. It's Leslie Frazier, Steve Spagnolo, etc. Etc. 490 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: Andy has a recent history of being even more aggressive 491 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and I'm getting it, you know, going 492 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: forward on fourth down things of that nature, some fourth 493 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: and goal situations, he'll go for it. And I understand 494 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: that's probably year when you have a Patrick Mahomes had 495 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: he Oh, do you recall if he was that way 496 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: when he was going to NFC title games with the 497 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: Eagles as well in the postseason. No, I think it's 498 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: just the opposite. I think he was too conservative. You know, 499 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: I covered them all fourteen years in Philadelphia, and you know, 500 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: I thought he was you know, he would pass the 501 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: ball for sure, at a high rate as opposed to 502 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: running it. And he got himself in trouble in some 503 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: games end with a lot of fans who wanted to Runderbow. 504 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: But I don't think he was definitely he was this aggressive. 505 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: And you know, just a dovetail off of that question. 506 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: The one thing that I did was go back and 507 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: study the difference between the loss of the Patriots on 508 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: Monday Night at the Ulchard Park and then to win 509 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: in Foxborough. Was that Sean McDermott and Brian Day, Bow 510 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: and Leslie Fraser and the whole group decided to be 511 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: much more aggressive offensively and defensively. I mean that that, 512 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: to me was the main your difference. I don't know 513 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: if Jay, your producer sent you the YouTube segment that 514 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: way you did from the matchup show last week, and 515 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: both Matt Bowen and Greg Kosell picked the Patriots to win, 516 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: and I picked the Bills to win big in that 517 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: game on wild Card weekend because I just thought that 518 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: there was a major difference in the way that Brian 519 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: Dable and Leslie Fraser and Sean McDermott were calling offense 520 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: and defense and then designing things. I mean, both game 521 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: plans were much more aggressive than the loss on Monday 522 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: Night than the motions and shifts, the ability to get 523 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: guys off the line of scrimmage, off that press coverage 524 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: of the Pats, and then you know, you just could 525 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,959 Speaker 1: not get to Josh Allen. It was it was clear, hey, 526 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: get yourself out of the pocket, get yourself out of 527 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: harm's way, make plays on the run, or make plays 528 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: with your legs. And I thought it was just a 529 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: different game plan. Maybe the weather had somewhat of a 530 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: factor in it, but I just like to design and 531 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: execution by the Buffalo Bills, and I knew they were 532 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,959 Speaker 1: going to beat the Pages. Obviously, I didn't know they 533 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: were going to beat them by nineteen thousand points, but 534 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: I certainly thought they were going to beat them pretty easily. 535 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: How do you think this case of Kansas City Buffalo 536 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: game looks when you've got two coaching staffs very creative 537 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: offensively and very aggressive as well. You get to this 538 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: level of the season, all these teams are playing really well. 539 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: There's eight teams left, they're all playing at a high level. 540 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: They're all kind of on an uptick vibe, and you 541 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: get two teams built a little bit of line. Let's 542 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: face it, the Bills built their team to beat the Chiefs, 543 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs are the team everybody wants to beat. 544 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: Great quarterback, solid defense, lots of weapons and speed on 545 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: the outside. The Bills same thing. Great quarterback, really good 546 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: defense and a lot of weapons on the outside, and 547 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: both coaching staffs in that go for it mentality. What 548 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: do you think this game looks like? It sounds really 549 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: good to me? Yeah, it does, Steve. I mean it's 550 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: almost a carbon copy. No question that Sean McDermott has 551 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: taken a page out of Andy Reid's book and at 552 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: Brian day Ball, we know is going to be aggressive. 553 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,479 Speaker 1: Now it's working, and he is just going to let 554 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: his quarterback play. You know, I went back and I 555 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: looked at josh Alan's performance against the Patriots, and it 556 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: was flawless. It was super aggressive and it was flawless. 557 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: It was almost like he said to himself, Hey, I'm 558 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: making a quarter of a billion dollars a year. I 559 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: gotta show up. I gotta put up or shut up. 560 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: And I don't mind taking the pressure and I don't 561 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: mind delivering. And he played with a super high level 562 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: of confidence. But you know, but Patrick Mahomes has been 563 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: there and done that. So I think you're asking me 564 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: if I would say the three major keys in this game. 565 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: The number one, without a doubt, not even close. The 566 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: quarterback who does not turn the ball over wins. It's 567 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: not even close. And I'm not talking about running backs 568 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: or wide receivers because you don't have that problem buying 569 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: large for either one of these teams. But the quarterback 570 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: who does not turn the ball over wins the football game. 571 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: I think that's number one. Number two is you absolutely 572 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: must make sure if you're Kansas City you're not allowing 573 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: Josh Allen to get outside the pocket and get on 574 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: his horse and make plays. And a number three, if 575 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: you're Sean McDermot and Leslie Frazer, you better find a 576 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: way to contain Kelsey and Tryree Hill. They're the ones 577 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: that make it go. So how do you do that? Well, 578 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: you definitely have to mush rush blitz. You've got to 579 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: get after Patrick Mahomes, but keep him in the pocket 580 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: and don't let him sidestep the rush and allow Kelsey 581 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: and Hill to gravitate towards open ground. So I think 582 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: those are the three keys. Yeah, And you know, if 583 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 1: you look back at the Week five game between these 584 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: two teams, it was a very interesting approach by Buffalo's defense. 585 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: They took an aggressive approach, basically dared the officiating crew 586 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: to throw flags, you know, whether it pass interference, defensive 587 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: holding or whatever. They knocked the tar at a Travis 588 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: Kelsey in that game and ended up winning it, you know, 589 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: going away thirty eight to twenty. And at the end 590 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: of the game, Kelsey's got six catches and yes he 591 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: had a touchdown, but he only had fifty seven yards 592 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 1: and he's one of the best yards after catch tight 593 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: ends in football. But I've never seen him more exasperated 594 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: than he was after that game. They're getting an officiating 595 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: crew this week, sal in John Hussey's crew that doesn't 596 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: call a lot of defensive penalties. Do you think you 597 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: could see an aggressive approach in terms of, you know, 598 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of glad handing, a little grabby by 599 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: both defenses in this game to try to slow down 600 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: these offenses. Well, I'm a big believer Chris and studying 601 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: who the referee is and attended sis of the referee 602 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: can here right? This crew led by Hussy, I mean 603 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 1: in the playoffs they bring different guys in. Hussy will 604 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 1: set the tone. Hussy will set the tone. I mean, 605 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, he'll set the tone for roughing the pastor 606 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: and offensive holding. So I'm not sure you know if 607 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the crew will follow suit on Hussey's 608 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: tendency in terms of grabbing wide receivers and defensive holding. 609 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: Here's what I do know. Here's what I do know. 610 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: If they don't play aggressively against Travis Kelsey, they might 611 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: as well not even show up. Yeah, I agree with that. 612 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: I think the only as a former guy that ran 613 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: routes the thing that bothers you. And it wasn't just 614 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: me because I was a little guy. Big guys will 615 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,839 Speaker 1: tell you this too. When you get knocked off your 616 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: release or you get knocked off your path early, you 617 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: feel like you're never You're always trying to catch back 618 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: up with the play in the secondary. And I think 619 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: that really bothers guys, and it'll bother it'll bother a 620 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: home too, because, believe me, when he gets the ball 621 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 1: in his hands after the snap and he sees Kelsey 622 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 1: getting knocked off his path or knocked off and they're 623 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: knocked down at the line of scrimmage before he can release, 624 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: he automatically is looking for another option right away. And 625 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: that's that's something that I think the Bills have to 626 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: think about. And you can do it a number of 627 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: different ways, but if you're not going to play physical 628 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,479 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage with Kelsey, you know he's 629 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: he will carve you up. And I agree with him. 630 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: Now as far as the other thing, what about Mahomes 631 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: and is throwing or he's running, I'm sorry, Josh Allen. 632 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 1: This last game, Allan ran for fifty nine yards. Mahomes 633 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: ran for sixty one in week five, do you anticipate 634 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: the teams and you said keep Josh Allen in the pocket, 635 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 1: what about Mahomes in the pocket? Yeah, I don't think 636 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: you'll be able to keep Josh Allen in the pocket, Steve, 637 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: I really don't. The way he played. I mean, then 638 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: on that Patriots defense is pretty good. I think it'll 639 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: be very difficult to keep Allen in the pocket, but 640 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to try. They will be easier to 641 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,720 Speaker 1: keep Mahomes in the pocket. Mahomes doesn't really a takeoff 642 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: and run guy on the edges. Mahomes will take off 643 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: and run, you know, on third down when he thinks 644 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,919 Speaker 1: he's got man coverage and he can sneak a first down, 645 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 1: he'll do that. He'll come up the gut maybe, but 646 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, not with a sense of ferocity that Josh 647 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: Allen does. So again, going back to point number three, 648 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: I just think if you're going to go after Kelsey 649 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: and Hill, you have to must rush and make sure 650 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: that you know, you rush for and get home, and 651 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: you rush for and you contain and you don't let 652 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes escape. Sal With respect to Buffalo's defense, I 653 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: mean they finished number one almost across the board, number 654 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 1: of different categories, even some of those more advanced categories, 655 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: completion percentage, a loud passer rating aloud, I mean all 656 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: number one across the board. And yet for some reason, 657 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: this defensive unit still feels on a national level, they 658 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: still don't get the respect they feel they deserve. What's 659 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: going to change that? Do you? First of all, do 660 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: you think it's accurate? And second, if not, what's going 661 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: to change that? A super Bowl? Well? This is this 662 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: is the game, right I mean, come on, Chris, this 663 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: is the game. We know it's the game. This is it. 664 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 1: This is right here. If the defense failed to hold 665 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: up against the big three of Kansas City, or if 666 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: somebody breaks through and has a big game because they 667 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: didn't pay attention or they didn't have a game plan, 668 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: then you know it's back to square one. This is 669 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: the game without a doubt. So yeah, I don't know why. 670 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: You know, you can measure yourself against a lot of 671 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 1: different things, but this is a clear measuring stick without 672 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: a doubt. And as we as we wind this down, 673 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: I just let me just ask you this, and this 674 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: game is it winds out, do you suspect it could 675 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,439 Speaker 1: be one of those months like the Monday night game 676 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, when it's fifty five fifty one LAS, 677 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: both teams are in the fifties. Does it look like 678 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: that or does something happen that makes this a little 679 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: bit more of a traditional matchup, Steve, I think both 680 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 1: these defenses are going to be highly challenged in this game. 681 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: You have so much offensive talent, and you've got two 682 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who you know, again, if they're not careless with 683 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: the football. I remember, you're getting with different Patrick Mahomes 684 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: and you had earlier in the season. Right during earlier 685 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: in the season, he was frenetic in the pocket, he 686 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 1: was loose with the football, the enemy and Andy had 687 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: come to Jesus moment with him and talk to him 688 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: about it, showed him what was wrong, showed him what 689 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 1: needed to get fixed or they will go in nowhere. 690 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: He fixed it gradually over time. So you're getting a 691 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: different Patrick Mahomes, and he is home, it's going to 692 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 1: be late at night, and you know it's it's a 693 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: long way to go from Buffalo to Kansas City and 694 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,879 Speaker 1: play it arrowhead and wait around all weekend watching three 695 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: games and then have to go out on the field 696 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,760 Speaker 1: and play one of the best offenses in the NFL, 697 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: in the Kansas City Chiefs. So this is a measuring stick. 698 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: And I'll go back to my original point. The quarterback 699 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: that does not turn the football over wins. Bottom line. 700 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: That's it. Bet on it. It's it. And I you 701 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: know the line is what two and a half? Now? 702 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 1: Is that what? It's? Right? All right? So that's that's 703 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: that's bills mafia money. I mean, it's it's the most 704 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: heavily bet game already, uh, in this weekend according to 705 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: VSI N and um, it will be the most heavily 706 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: bet that all the money is is bet on the Bills. 707 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: I mean, people are riding the Bills all over the country. 708 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: They got the biggest fan base other than Dallas. They're 709 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: the biggest fan base in the AFC by far, no question. Um. 710 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: And you know it's going to be the most watched game. 711 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: There'll be fifty sixty million people watch this game. Yeah, 712 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,439 Speaker 1: it's definitely the marquee game of the weekend for sure. Sal, 713 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: thanks very much. We look forward to seeing your reports 714 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,240 Speaker 1: out there in KC. Thanks for the time. Thanks Sal. Okay, 715 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: all right, that's Sal Palestonio, ESPN National correspondent for the NFL. 716 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,800 Speaker 1: I've been doing it a long time. Also hosted the 717 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,479 Speaker 1: ESPN NFL Matchup Show with Greg CoA Sell and Matt Boone. 718 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 1: So we will take a break here, but when we 719 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: come back, we'll kind of review some of those comments 720 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 1: from Sal's pointed this take on the game coming up 721 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: here on Sunday, and we'll get back to some of 722 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: your phone calls and maybe even a little time for 723 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: some tweet sheet. We'll do that when we return here 724 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Collott of Health, It's 725 00:41:45,640 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bills Live. 726 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:06,280 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with a few and we've seen 727 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: turnovers turn the tables in playoff games faster than anything. 728 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: So no surprise that Sal Palantonio, our guest in the 729 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: last segment, who will be covering Chiefs Bills on Sunday 730 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 1: for ESPN, believes that the quarterback that does not turn 731 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: the ball over will emerge from this game victorious. You 732 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,720 Speaker 1: look at Rams Cardinals from Monday night, Kyler Murray coughs 733 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: up the ball twice. It's not even a game. It's 734 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 1: not even a game. Look at the Bills Patriots they 735 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 1: coughed it up twice, wasn't a game? Yeah, two interceptions, 736 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: one that took seven points off the board for the Patriots. 737 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, that was a fourte huge, absolutely huge, And 738 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,280 Speaker 1: he's right. But it's also the one thing that nobody's 739 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 1: trying to do, right. Yeah. I am interested, maybe more 740 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 1: than anything else, to see what the defensive game plans 741 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 1: are in this game, because, as sal said, both defensive 742 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: units are going to be supremely challenged in this one. 743 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:17,399 Speaker 1: For the Bills, it's trying to find solutions for two 744 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: dynamic talents, in particular in Hill and Kelsey, And for 745 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, it's trying to stop the depth of the 746 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 1: talent that exists on Buffalo's offense, especially now that they 747 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,879 Speaker 1: have some some multiple principles to their attack with their 748 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 1: ability to run the ball of late. Yeah, you think 749 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,280 Speaker 1: about it. If you're the Bills defense, you find Tyree 750 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 1: Kill and you find Kelsey and you start there and 751 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 1: Byron Pringle is going to beat you. That's not as 752 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: you know. Okay, it shouldn't be catastrops a little bit. 753 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: Left hand. Let's let them beat your left hand a 754 00:43:54,760 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 1: little bit. For the Chiefs, start with Steph Diggs. Okay, 755 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 1: but then you got Gabe Davis, you got Cole Beasley, 756 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 1: you got Isaiah McKenzie, you got Dawson Knox, and now 757 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary over the past five or six weeks. It's different. Certainly, 758 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,879 Speaker 1: if this gets into a high scoring game, maybe Devin 759 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 1: Singletary and Clyde Edwards, Hilaire and McKinnon don't see the 760 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: field as much or get as many opportunities, at least 761 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: in the running game. But nevertheless, the Bills have a 762 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: wider variety of guys that they'll go to. I mean, 763 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,240 Speaker 1: think about it. In the Patriot game, the second Patriot 764 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: game of the three, Isaiah McKenzie comes out of nowhere 765 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 1: with eleven catches. Right now, I but we should mention 766 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: Steve last week's game against the Steelers, Mahomes five touchdown 767 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: passes went to five different people. That's right, So they 768 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: ken spread it around if they need to. Right, You 769 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: want them to do that, though it is the Steelers defense, 770 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 1: though not the Bill want them to do that though. 771 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: You want them to beat you throwing to other people 772 00:44:55,040 --> 00:45:00,080 Speaker 1: that guy, not the guy the guy exactly. But I 773 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe that's it sounds makes sense. To me. Now, 774 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 1: they they may see it different. There may be a 775 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: different philosophy out there where they say, you know what, Um, 776 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,279 Speaker 1: we're just we're just gonna play them the way we play, 777 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 1: you know, and I don't know. Yeah, it's it's really 778 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: fascinating to me. I can't wait to see it. Let's 779 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 1: go back to the phone though, and to Brian and Alabama. Brian, 780 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: you're on one Bills Live. What do you got for us? 781 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 1: Had a good appinoon that was how you guys going. Yeah, 782 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: I think the one quick point before I get to 783 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 1: that topic. I've been listening to you guys shows for 784 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,879 Speaker 1: for for years, and I just want to give Chris 785 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: Brown his props. Episode you've joined the show. I think 786 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,280 Speaker 1: you've taken them up to the next level. So kudos 787 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: to you, and obviously Steve Tasker you're amazing as well. 788 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 1: But I will say I think the biggest difference then, uh, 789 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: in this game the week five is the speed of 790 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: the game, particularly on the Kansas City offense. Uh. You 791 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 1: guys just just touched on it. Kansas City. They're they're 792 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 1: going to deploy multiple weapons and I think one of 793 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: the biggest deficiencies on the build defense is, in my opinion, 794 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: would be the speed of the secondary and that's the 795 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,240 Speaker 1: strength of the role players of the Kansas City offense. 796 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure how you can defend it. I 797 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: would like to see the build defensive line to step up, 798 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,799 Speaker 1: get pressures. I don't know, maybe send Edmonds on some 799 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 1: blitzes to stir it up. But I'm just really concerned 800 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: about the speed of the role players compared to the 801 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 1: speed of our defensive back. So if you don't mind, 802 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: I like to stay on and hear you guys response. Yeah, 803 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's a fair concern, for sure. It's a 804 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 1: fair concern. Yeah, but it's a concern for every defense 805 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: that has to face this Chief's offense, to be honest, 806 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: And I think besides Hill who is world class speed 807 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 1: and Kelsey who is borderline world class speed, for a 808 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: tight end, you have Pringle and Hardman. And I would 809 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: argue that Pringle is far more reliable a target than 810 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 1: Hardman is, and it's why he's been playing a lot 811 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 1: more lately. But yeah, I mean, what do you do there? Conceptually, Steve? 812 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: You play zone and keep it all in front of you. Well, 813 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,359 Speaker 1: I hope you tackle well. The Chiefs aren't the only 814 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,280 Speaker 1: ones with a lot of with a lot of speed 815 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: that you face all through the year because that's what 816 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 1: the league is. But yes, their their speed is goes deep. 817 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: Mikole Hardman can really run a Soaknpringle. Hardman's really fast, 818 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 1: just like Tyreek, not to the extent, but yes, So 819 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,960 Speaker 1: it's something that you know you're gonna deal with and 820 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: they've seen it before. So I think one of the 821 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,839 Speaker 1: things you can do on not every play, like none 822 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: of this is every play we're gonna do this, but 823 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: you defend it at the end of the quarterback. You 824 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: know their speed is fine, but their speed is negated 825 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 1: if the quarterback has to get rid of it in 826 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 1: a half a second. So if you can bring pressure 827 00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,359 Speaker 1: on Mahomes and he has to throw it, they don't 828 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,399 Speaker 1: have time to run twenty five yards. They got time 829 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 1: to run ten. That makes it a different game. So 830 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 1: you can do that with by picking spots to have 831 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 1: to send pressure and having Mahomes have to get rid 832 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: of it quick and keeping him in the pocket. Um 833 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 1: and you pick your spots like that. That's all there 834 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 1: is to it. You're got to pick your spots and 835 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 1: hopefully it works. Brian, thanks for the call. We appreciate it. 836 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 1: Gotta break here because when we come back, it is 837 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: the man calling the game for the NFL on CBS, 838 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: Jim Nance joining us next to talk Bill's Chiefs. We're 839 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: back after this here on one Bill's Line presented by 840 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:48,280 Speaker 1: Allied to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve 841 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,800 Speaker 1: Tasker who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique. 842 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve. 843 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 1: Literally Steve a blimp. We're not even in the thread 844 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 1: here of normalcy. All right here we are our number 845 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: two and we're bringing out the heavy hitters. The guy 846 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 1: calling the game this weekend, Bill's Chiefs for the NFL 847 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 1: on CBS, it is Jim Nance joining us again, kind 848 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: enough to make a return engagement with us after he 849 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 1: previewed the week fourteen matchup. Which man, had you had 850 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 1: enough highlights in that one to put on a reel 851 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 1: and you didn't need anything else? You might you might 852 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 1: get it again this week, Jim, Yeah, I don't see 853 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 1: why we wouldn't. Thank you, Chris, and thank you Steve. Hello, 854 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 1: friends said, I'm so excited about this game. You know, 855 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 1: it feels like it should be played the next week 856 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: and I'm back into the AMC championship position. But hey, listen, 857 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 1: I don only get surprise anybody to see the winner 858 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 1: of this game going on to the super Bowl and 859 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,480 Speaker 1: maybe even win it. So what a performance last week 860 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 1: by your Bills. It was amazing to watch. Yeah, and 861 00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 1: it was matched all too closely by the Chiefs performers Pittsburgh. 862 00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean, both these teams come to this game sprinting it. 863 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm it's reminiscent of the Monday Night game in twenty 864 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,319 Speaker 1: eighteen with the Rams and the and the Chiefs when 865 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: it was both of them scored fifty points and it's like, Wow, 866 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 1: this is the new NFL. This is what it's going 867 00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 1: to look like. It doesn't happen very often, but man 868 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,840 Speaker 1: oh man, with these teams playing like they are, it could. 869 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,720 Speaker 1: It's It's one of those things. I sometimes get this feeling. 870 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 1: Particularly I get it during the NCAA basketball trying to 871 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 1: be watched. Two great teams on a collision course and 872 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: they meet Monday Night. I walk to the arena and 873 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 1: I think, how one of these teams are gonna walk 874 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 1: away with a loss. It's just inconceivable to me. That 875 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,319 Speaker 1: whichever team it is isn't the champion. And I kind 876 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,120 Speaker 1: of feel like that about this one. Now. It's inconceivable 877 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 1: to think that we're gonna lose one of these two 878 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 1: in the divisional round, but we will. And it's just 879 00:50:55,160 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: a it's a very big, big matchup at this stage 880 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 1: of it. And you're right, the boat peaking. Nobody can 881 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 1: play a better game than the Bills did last week, 882 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 1: and I mean that was just like perfection. And the 883 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 1: Chiefs are riding high. You know, they fixed their defense 884 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,839 Speaker 1: since their Week five matchup against Buffalo. It's a it's 885 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 1: a different defense. They gave up the fewest points from 886 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 1: that point forward after that game, and Mahomes is doing 887 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,560 Speaker 1: his thing. Josh is sensational and I can't wait to 888 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,360 Speaker 1: see it. Does it surprise you, Jim, because knowing what 889 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,840 Speaker 1: a team sport football is, the trade that Kansas City 890 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,680 Speaker 1: made for Melvin Ingram seemed to be a major catalyst 891 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 1: in setting everything right again with that Chiefs defense. Obviously, 892 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 1: we know it allowed them to move Chris Jones back 893 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,759 Speaker 1: inside where he is clearly at his best. But you 894 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 1: talk to people that cover the Chiefs and I'm sure 895 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: you'll be talking to the coaching staff this week. His 896 00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:02,360 Speaker 1: addition has been borderline side for changing the fortunes of 897 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,280 Speaker 1: that defense. It's amazing. I don't know what went wrong 898 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,839 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. It is shocking to me that they gave 899 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,560 Speaker 1: up on him so early. I would have thought he 900 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,839 Speaker 1: would have been a huge help to them this year 901 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 1: with you know, Bud Dupree leaving in free agency and 902 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,919 Speaker 1: old thing. But he didn't last long and he went 903 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 1: down to Kansas City. You're right, you can almost trace 904 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,240 Speaker 1: it back to when he began playing for that defense 905 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: with Spagnolah and I asked Steve a couple of weeks 906 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,279 Speaker 1: ago about Melbourne and he said, you know what, I've 907 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,960 Speaker 1: always liked players who play angry. And he said, that's 908 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: Melvin Ingram. He plays angry. And he said, there are 909 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,480 Speaker 1: two or three other guys on the defense, but he 910 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 1: specifically feels like he kind of sets that mood for 911 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,799 Speaker 1: those that are inclined to approach it that way, with 912 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 1: a little anger on the field. That's not to say 913 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 1: they're not within themselves, and just the way he approaches it. 914 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 1: I always liked him as a player when he's with 915 00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 1: the Chargers and Steve, I know you know Amaton too 916 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 1: through the years, and I always thought he was a 917 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,279 Speaker 1: little bit kind of neglected in terms of on a 918 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,280 Speaker 1: national scope. I always thought it was a very good talent. 919 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 1: And again Pittsburgh they didn't have much use for him 920 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 1: for very long. And Kansas City's got themselves a real 921 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,160 Speaker 1: gym now. Yeah, and it seems like the perfect move 922 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 1: at the perfect time. Is this Chiefs team. Really, they're 923 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: on the cusp of history here trying to go to 924 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,959 Speaker 1: four straight AFC Championship Games, go to three straight Super Bowls. 925 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 1: It's a short list of teams that have done it, 926 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,239 Speaker 1: and they have and you go back and look at 927 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,839 Speaker 1: all of those teams, they all had a little maybe 928 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of a unique recipe. But there's no 929 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 1: question over the past six years with Andy Reid in 930 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,520 Speaker 1: Kansas City, they have with Pat Mahomes, they have had 931 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:50,280 Speaker 1: a recipe that has put them always at the pinnacle 932 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,759 Speaker 1: of contenders and people who are expected to go to 933 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,640 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. How have they been able to maintain 934 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,680 Speaker 1: it for this long and been this good because it's 935 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,959 Speaker 1: we've seen other teams on the Paids have never really, 936 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's been maybe once in their history that 937 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 1: they were able to even come close to this the 938 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,560 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys back in the day. It's really special to 939 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,800 Speaker 1: put a group of guys like that together. Why is 940 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:15,759 Speaker 1: this Chiefs team been so dominant? Hey, it's gonna start 941 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,040 Speaker 1: with the quarterback. I'm not going to shortchange Standy here 942 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,080 Speaker 1: at all. But you said, what is it? Because and 943 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,719 Speaker 1: he's always been innovative, He's always done things that like 944 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 1: you say, Wow, I haven't never seen that before. Why 945 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 1: doesn't somebody else try to play like that? I do 946 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 1: see innovation, by the way, as I see the clip 947 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,359 Speaker 1: you just put in there, that little underhand toss, it's 948 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: a beautiful thing to see. But Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco, 949 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 1: you walk away from one of his games and say 950 00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 1: that looks different. The running attack just what you think 951 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,719 Speaker 1: is an ordinary running attack. There's nothing ordinary about it. 952 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 1: It's always it's just got a flare to it. It's 953 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 1: got innovation. But I think it gets back to the 954 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,560 Speaker 1: have to have the leader on the field, and in 955 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,959 Speaker 1: this case Mahomes, who has the hunger to be great. 956 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 1: They can give him the contract. It's worth a half 957 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 1: a billion dollars and hasn't changed him a bit, And 958 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 1: I knew it wouldn't because I've gotten to know him 959 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,359 Speaker 1: a little bit. He has the desire to be one 960 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,759 Speaker 1: of the all time greats. You know, these guys today 961 00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:18,800 Speaker 1: are coming along, Josh Patrick, Justin Herbert, they watch Tom Brady. 962 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of like every young golf today want they 963 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,799 Speaker 1: want to be the next Tiger Woods. They all want 964 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 1: to be the next Tom Brady. They don't want to 965 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 1: go win just one super Bowl, they want to win 966 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:33,239 Speaker 1: six or seven or eight. They want they want iconic, legendary, 967 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:38,040 Speaker 1: lasting place in history. Mahomes wants that. I guarantee you 968 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,600 Speaker 1: Josh wants the same thing. So if you don't have 969 00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 1: that at your most important position, the team's going to 970 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,319 Speaker 1: be a reflection of that. He leads the way he is, 971 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: He's the catalyst on all of that in terms of 972 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,960 Speaker 1: the mentality of it. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Talking with 973 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,359 Speaker 1: NFL on CBS number one play by play man Jim 974 00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,160 Speaker 1: Nanzell be Colin Bill's chief six thirty PM on Sunday 975 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,320 Speaker 1: on CBS, and Jim, You've called a ton of these 976 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,880 Speaker 1: and I think sometimes not all the time, but some 977 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,319 Speaker 1: of the time, the team that emerges victorious from these 978 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 1: games are the ones who have the role players that 979 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 1: can deliver a big play in a big spot. You know, 980 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,320 Speaker 1: all the attention of the Bill's defense is going to 981 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 1: be paid to Tyree Hill and Travis kel so you 982 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,719 Speaker 1: know the Chiefs defense is going to be trying to 983 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:29,359 Speaker 1: put Stefan Diggs on lockdown. But you have these emerging 984 00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 1: young players for both of these offenses, Dawson Knox, Devin 985 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,000 Speaker 1: Singletary two third year players for Buffalo. Byron Pringle is 986 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,760 Speaker 1: now becoming a true number two receiver for the Chiefs. 987 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 1: Are you anticipating perhaps the difference maker being one of 988 00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:49,440 Speaker 1: those types of players in this game? Hop on Isaiah McKenzie, 989 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean, Chris, He's been wow. Since the 990 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 1: game at New England on the twenty sixth of December, 991 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,200 Speaker 1: Miss Guy has been just a huge part of it. 992 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:08,279 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been a real, real, huge presence for them. 993 00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,680 Speaker 1: I've loved Dawson Knox the way he plays all season long, 994 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,440 Speaker 1: and you know, we had the injury halfway through the year, 995 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 1: and I think he's probably feeling healthier now than he 996 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,360 Speaker 1: probably has since the first time since the start of 997 00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 1: the season. There are a lot of weapons there and 998 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:26,880 Speaker 1: who is it going to be I don't know. I mean, 999 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,520 Speaker 1: look at McKinnon. Look at Jerick McKinnon Kansas City last week. 1000 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy that I had let 1001 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,800 Speaker 1: to see five Kansas City games, maybe during the regular season, 1002 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,080 Speaker 1: maybe he was on the field for one of those, 1003 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,000 Speaker 1: played one play, one play, and now he had one 1004 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:47,000 Speaker 1: hundred and forty two yards of scrimmage yards last week. 1005 00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, you don't know. You know, it's going to 1006 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,560 Speaker 1: be somebody. It's gonna step up and make a play 1007 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: or two. But ultimately, you know, we've got two guys 1008 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 1: that are still early in her career who are leading 1009 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 1: these efforts, who I've had a great fortune of getting 1010 00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,120 Speaker 1: to know both of them quite well. I've played golf 1011 00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,920 Speaker 1: with both of the quarterbacks, not that that's worth anything, 1012 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 1: but you know, you get to know people when you're 1013 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,479 Speaker 1: out on the golf course. I played with both Pat 1014 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:17,680 Speaker 1: and Josh, and they're extremely good people. Because look look 1015 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,920 Speaker 1: what Josh has meant to your community. He's just an 1016 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 1: awesome guy. And Pat is too. And I'm just excited 1017 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,440 Speaker 1: that we're on the AFC side of the Ledger and 1018 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 1: we have all these guys in our package. At CBS, 1019 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 1: We're just starting the next long term whatever nine, ten 1020 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 1: and eleven year contract it is. And you know we're 1021 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,360 Speaker 1: going to see this match up again in the postseason. 1022 00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:44,120 Speaker 1: You know we are. We're gonna see it a lot 1023 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 1: of times, and you know it's this is this is not. 1024 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 1: I just have to talk to Cleveland fans a little 1025 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:53,480 Speaker 1: bit off the ledge that, hey, they got into the 1026 00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 1: playoffs last year and they were ready to win the 1027 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:57,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year, or reminded them there were teams 1028 00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,960 Speaker 1: still that were pretty good in Kansas City and Buffalo. 1029 00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,200 Speaker 1: But you're gonna have a good run because you've got 1030 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,560 Speaker 1: a foundation, a roster that's decent. You can kind of 1031 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,720 Speaker 1: fortify the roster. But now I look at these rosters 1032 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:12,760 Speaker 1: like Buffalo in Kansas City, you truly truly have the 1033 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:17,920 Speaker 1: makings of a really fun scratch here for for the 1034 00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 1: next ten years plus. I believe it. Yeah, you talk 1035 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 1: about these two coaches, Andy Reid and Sean McDermott, and 1036 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:27,640 Speaker 1: certainly they they they have built programs that are sustainable 1037 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:31,440 Speaker 1: and successful. And now you've got Eric b Enemy, Brian Dable, 1038 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:37,560 Speaker 1: Leslie Frazier, Steve Spagnola. These guys are probably the teams 1039 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,560 Speaker 1: are gonna start headhunting these guys for the head coaching 1040 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 1: jobs that are out there. I think it both these, 1041 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,440 Speaker 1: particularly Andy Reid, who has been able to sustain this 1042 00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 1: through through that he calls his own plays and kind 1043 00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:54,200 Speaker 1: of as a result, he doesn't really risk losing Eric 1044 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,720 Speaker 1: b Enemy's loss may not hurt the Chiefs as much 1045 00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,720 Speaker 1: as Brian Dable's loss would hurt the Bills because of 1046 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,680 Speaker 1: the fact that Andy is so much a part of 1047 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 1: that offense. What do you see in these coordinators and 1048 01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 1: plus their role in making these teams peek at the 1049 01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 1: right time. You know, when we have these teams, we 1050 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,919 Speaker 1: always ask for both of these coordinators. Big fan of 1051 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,560 Speaker 1: all four of them. And you know, I think it 1052 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 1: seems like last year was going to be being in 1053 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 1: these time to get a job. So I'm going to 1054 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 1: guess it's this year, and I think Buffalo is going 1055 01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:31,400 Speaker 1: to lose one of the two guys without both of them. 1056 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 1: But hey, it's good to know you've got Sean McDermott. 1057 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you guys hit on it there. I mean 1058 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: there's a guy I mentioned Cleveland a minute ago. Cleveland 1059 01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,800 Speaker 1: had a chance to get him, from my understanding, and 1060 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,600 Speaker 1: they didn't go with him, and you got yourself a 1061 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,000 Speaker 1: great one there, So yeah, are they important? I mean, 1062 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 1: my gosh, Leslie Frasier, I would love to see him 1063 01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,400 Speaker 1: get a second crack at it. Brian, I'd love to 1064 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,760 Speaker 1: see him get a first crack at it. I think 1065 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,000 Speaker 1: he truly is a it's a genius, and I think 1066 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,600 Speaker 1: he has been tremendous in the development of Josh as 1067 01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:09,680 Speaker 1: all around quarterbacks. So yeah, I don't know that makes you, 1068 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,040 Speaker 1: as a fan think, man, We've got those things set up, 1069 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 1: We've we've got the staff, we've got the players, and 1070 01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,760 Speaker 1: I think both against so much similarity between these teams, 1071 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: I really truly think that the team that wins this game, 1072 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 1: I give him pretty close to fifty percent chance to 1073 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,640 Speaker 1: win the whole thing. But not talking to AFC. I'm 1074 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,520 Speaker 1: talking about and hadn't winning the Super Bowl. I think 1075 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 1: this game is just loaded with a great team emerging 1076 01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,240 Speaker 1: from this and it's gonna be very hard to stop 1077 01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 1: down the road. Last one for me, Jim, It's an 1078 01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:42,480 Speaker 1: interesting narrative here in Buffalo with respect to their defense 1079 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,040 Speaker 1: number one almost across the board in a multitude of categories, 1080 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 1: even some of those advanced numbers down the line, you know, 1081 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:52,360 Speaker 1: completion percentage against and passer rating against their number one 1082 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,600 Speaker 1: and all of those two. But they seem to carry 1083 01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 1: this chip they I think they still, whether it's realistic 1084 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,000 Speaker 1: or not, they've convinced themselves that on a national stage 1085 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,480 Speaker 1: they still get no respect. Now that might just be 1086 01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,320 Speaker 1: a self motivation tactic. But since you are on the 1087 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 1: national stage and we suffer from Bill's myopia, what do 1088 01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,560 Speaker 1: you make of that contention. I think they have a 1089 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 1: good case, Chris, and I definitely have it in my 1090 01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:21,240 Speaker 1: plans to bring it up that this team has not 1091 01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:26,520 Speaker 1: been given the individual recognition and the overall team recognition 1092 01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 1: that they deserve when you look at what they've done statistically, 1093 01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 1: how they played together as a team. I mean, it's 1094 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,920 Speaker 1: just off the charts. And again this starts which seawan 1095 01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 1: we know what McDermott's background is with defense, all the 1096 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:42,120 Speaker 1: way back to those days at Philadelphia with Jimmy Johnson. 1097 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:49,000 Speaker 1: So no Pro Bowl players really mean the Pro Bowls 1098 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 1: turned into a joke. So I mean, you hate to 1099 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 1: even give it credit. I've grappled mentally as I think 1100 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:55,920 Speaker 1: about how we're going to get into this game and 1101 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 1: some of the talking points. But if you want to 1102 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 1: judge it by snubbed, I mean, I guess that's a 1103 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 1: good place to start. I think it speaks really too 1104 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 1: to the system now of how you vote for the 1105 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. But I mean, Josh Allen's not a he's 1106 01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:18,919 Speaker 1: an alternate. I mean, seriously, really okay by explaining all 1107 01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 1: one to me, So, Jim, what if they're playing the 1108 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,960 Speaker 1: chip is a fan as a part of the Bills mafia, 1109 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,480 Speaker 1: if you're part of it, you'd rather your team be 1110 01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,200 Speaker 1: playing with a chip right now and have nobody on 1111 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:33,960 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl roster if that's what it's going to 1112 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,920 Speaker 1: take for you to win a super Bowl. Because this 1113 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,040 Speaker 1: team's totally capable win a super Bowl. And you know, listen, 1114 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 1: it's human nature. We're all gonna take those lights. They 1115 01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 1: don't think I'm that good, well I'll show them. I'll 1116 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,120 Speaker 1: show them. They got a very big stage here on 1117 01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,360 Speaker 1: Sunday night to show a lot of people just how 1118 01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:55,959 Speaker 1: good they are, and I think they will. Jim, my friend, 1119 01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 1: thanks so much for coming on with us. Enjoyed travel 1120 01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 1: really safely out there to Kansas, and hopefully the best 1121 01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,840 Speaker 1: case scenario is you'll be coming to Buffalo the next week. 1122 01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:10,439 Speaker 1: So travel safe makes so much. Next week, I've had 1123 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:15,320 Speaker 1: this one in my head, Stevie. Next week because the 1124 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:20,400 Speaker 1: eighteen week season, it's now impacted the PGA Tour season 1125 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 1: on the West coast. Next week is the traditional week 1126 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:29,080 Speaker 1: of the Tory Pines Event Beautiful Lajoia, California, a CBS event. 1127 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:33,960 Speaker 1: So CBS now moved the golf to a Saturday night 1128 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:38,160 Speaker 1: finish in primetime.

But the image I have 1134 01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,960 Speaker 1: in my head that would make this thing really interesting 1135 01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:04,160 Speaker 1: would be to call the golf tournament from from the 1136 01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:10,000 Speaker 1: stadium and Buffalo from Orchard Park with snowbanks the field. 1137 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,600 Speaker 1: And I hope that is a story you get to 1138 01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 1: tell your ultimate.

Stay tuned, all right, Chris Brown, 1161 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,840 Speaker 1: Steve Task, We're with you here on one bills Live 1162 01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,440 Speaker 1: time to bring in the newest addition to the starting 1163 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:56,760 Speaker 1: lineup on the Bills offensive line. It is left guard 1164 01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 1: Ryan Bates joining us as our fresh off the field. 1165 01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:01,640 Speaker 1: Interview was brought to you by Austin Air, the official 1166 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:06,040 Speaker 1: clean air provider of the Buffalo Bills. And Ryan, I 1167 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 1: want to start here because you're playing right guard, you know, 1168 01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:17,160 Speaker 1: in week sixteen in New England, and then Ike Butcker 1169 01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:21,280 Speaker 1: goes down unfortunately and is lost for the game. And 1170 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,120 Speaker 1: then the musical chairs starts in the middle of the game, 1171 01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:27,800 Speaker 1: and you know, you say, ah, right guard, left guard, 1172 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:31,600 Speaker 1: what's the difference? But I gotta imagine that's that's a 1173 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:35,640 Speaker 1: heck of a midstream, mid game switch. How did you 1174 01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,040 Speaker 1: kind of keep your bearings with that? I know you're 1175 01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,280 Speaker 1: a versatile guy. You've been a backup almost all five spots. 1176 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:45,840 Speaker 1: How much did that prior knowledge help you make that switch? Midstream? 1177 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:49,080 Speaker 1: Helped me so much. You know a lot of people 1178 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,080 Speaker 1: don't understand what it's like to switch sides of the ball. 1179 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 1: You know, going from right guard to left guard or 1180 01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:58,080 Speaker 1: right soacicle left tackle. I almost explain it to people 1181 01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,880 Speaker 1: when they ask, it's almost like you're, alrighty, you know, 1182 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,640 Speaker 1: try writing your name with your left hand, Um, if 1183 01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:04,960 Speaker 1: you're left to try to marting your name with your 1184 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 1: right hand. It's almost it's it's two different It might 1185 01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 1: be the same position, but it's two different things left 1186 01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,720 Speaker 1: and right. But yeah, I was fortunate enough to, you know, 1187 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,799 Speaker 1: throughout the season being have to play multiple, multiple positions, 1188 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,599 Speaker 1: I was prepared for the moment. What was the vibe 1189 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,679 Speaker 1: like in the offensive line room going through that first 1190 01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:24,840 Speaker 1: half or three quarters of the season when it was 1191 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,639 Speaker 1: gonna be a different combination of guys up front almost 1192 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,360 Speaker 1: every week or every other week. How would how did 1193 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:34,679 Speaker 1: you guys handle that going through that? No, everyone handed 1194 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,320 Speaker 1: it great. Now you know, we're just we're here to win. 1195 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,880 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who plays, who plays what position. Um, 1196 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:41,680 Speaker 1: all of us just want to win games. That's all 1197 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:42,760 Speaker 1: that matters. At the end of the day. We want 1198 01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 1: to score more points to the other team. And so 1199 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,920 Speaker 1: if someone's out play guard instead of tackle, attackle instead 1200 01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,320 Speaker 1: of guards, center instead of guards. You know, we just 1201 01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 1: want to win games. At the end of the day. 1202 01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,800 Speaker 1: And you know, Ryan, I know linemen are not the 1203 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,679 Speaker 1: ones to pat themselves on the back very much. It's 1204 01:08:57,680 --> 01:08:59,840 Speaker 1: just not in your guys nature more often than not. 1205 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:05,439 Speaker 1: But knowing that this offense is identity going into this 1206 01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,840 Speaker 1: season was largely a throwing offense with Josh a quarterback. 1207 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,320 Speaker 1: One level of pride does it give you and the 1208 01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:16,599 Speaker 1: guys up front that you have been largely responsible for 1209 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:23,040 Speaker 1: making this offense truly multiple Now with the run game, yeah, 1210 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,920 Speaker 1: you know, every game starts up front with the old 1211 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,720 Speaker 1: Lion d line. And you know, I think we've been 1212 01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,519 Speaker 1: doing a great job so far in the run game 1213 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 1: and in the past game. You know, we really started 1214 01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:34,599 Speaker 1: getting our running game going these last couple of weeks, 1215 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,200 Speaker 1: and we're really you know, we're a two dimensional team. 1216 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,080 Speaker 1: We can run the ball, throw the ball, we can 1217 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:41,960 Speaker 1: do really what we want on the field. Was we 1218 01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 1: have capable bodies, you know, everybody great players here. Obviously 1219 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,640 Speaker 1: you've see what we do on game day. Um, you know, 1220 01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:50,439 Speaker 1: we have a lot of special people in this in 1221 01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,640 Speaker 1: this building. How much just kind of get into it, 1222 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:55,799 Speaker 1: how much of how big a difference is it? Now? 1223 01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,680 Speaker 1: Four weeks later, five weeks later than it was that 1224 01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:02,519 Speaker 1: half that you got a chance to plug in with 1225 01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:05,200 Speaker 1: these five guys in in New England. How big a 1226 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,200 Speaker 1: difference is there now and your play than there was then. 1227 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:11,960 Speaker 1: You know, we always had the same mindset, you know, 1228 01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:13,880 Speaker 1: going in where whoever we were playing, we have the 1229 01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,000 Speaker 1: same mindset. Where it was the base Rice with the Jets, Miami, 1230 01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,600 Speaker 1: anybody at a Vision or anybody you know, we were 1231 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,479 Speaker 1: playing an out of our division, we always have the 1232 01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:22,720 Speaker 1: same mindset. We were gonna go, you know, execute the 1233 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,240 Speaker 1: game plan whatever we had that week where we're running 1234 01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:28,200 Speaker 1: the ball, throwing the ball, and you know, we just 1235 01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:33,519 Speaker 1: stayed true to our technique and our coaching. I was 1236 01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:36,920 Speaker 1: always curious about this Ryan, with respect to the relationship 1237 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,599 Speaker 1: between running backs and the guys blocking form up front. 1238 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,599 Speaker 1: You often hear quarterbacks and receivers often talking in between 1239 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,920 Speaker 1: plays at practice, in games, between series, what have you about? Hey, 1240 01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:49,639 Speaker 1: you know, what's your body language going to be here 1241 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,479 Speaker 1: on this? I'm curious does Devin talk to you guys 1242 01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:56,000 Speaker 1: at all about the way in which you're gonna block 1243 01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:58,160 Speaker 1: it up or if you've got you know, a hell, 1244 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, a combo and then your client how you 1245 01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 1: do that body language. Does Devon go into those details 1246 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,160 Speaker 1: with you guys as far as hell? Each of you 1247 01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,280 Speaker 1: individually choose to handle those I mean, I know coach 1248 01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,800 Speaker 1: Johnson has techniques that he coaches you on, but I'm 1249 01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 1: just curious, is there that kind of discussion between you 1250 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:20,280 Speaker 1: and the running back not as much discussion between players sometimes. Actually, 1251 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:22,439 Speaker 1: there was a couple of instances where in the I 1252 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,439 Speaker 1: think I been a Patriots game where like, hey, he 1253 01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,439 Speaker 1: told us, Hey, I'm gonna hit more downhill than I 1254 01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,280 Speaker 1: usually do, because in the beginning of the week we 1255 01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,679 Speaker 1: go through the running backs reads, whether it's the front 1256 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:36,640 Speaker 1: side backer, whether it's a gap, or whether it's the 1257 01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:38,720 Speaker 1: down line and first down line and play side. He's 1258 01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 1: got his reats and his progressions that he's got to 1259 01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,840 Speaker 1: go through any any run, any run player we have 1260 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,080 Speaker 1: Um and there there's been a couple of instances here 1261 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,040 Speaker 1: and there where he tells us, hey, I might be 1262 01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:49,600 Speaker 1: like an rpo um and Josh will be reading the 1263 01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:51,599 Speaker 1: backside defensive end and he's playing it kind of weird, 1264 01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:53,400 Speaker 1: and Josh will come up or Devil will come up 1265 01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:55,840 Speaker 1: to us say I'm gonna hit him work downhill. You know, 1266 01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,280 Speaker 1: just so you guys know, um So it might not 1267 01:11:58,360 --> 01:11:59,760 Speaker 1: hit front side, it's gonna be hit more of a 1268 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,920 Speaker 1: back side run that where it's going to hit. Um So, 1269 01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:04,720 Speaker 1: he does do that. There are some instances where he 1270 01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:06,960 Speaker 1: will say that, but we our coaches doing a great 1271 01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,360 Speaker 1: job in the beginning a week going through and make 1272 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:12,000 Speaker 1: sure the old line understands the running backs read and 1273 01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:15,280 Speaker 1: what he's doing that play. Gotcha. So you saw these 1274 01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,519 Speaker 1: guys in week five, A lot of things have changed 1275 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:21,280 Speaker 1: for both clubs. Uh, coming into week now, the divisional 1276 01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,080 Speaker 1: round of the playoffs has been a couple of months 1277 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:26,200 Speaker 1: since you've seen this team. How different are these two 1278 01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:30,439 Speaker 1: teams than they were in Week five? You know, they're 1279 01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:31,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of a hushwick. You know, when we 1280 01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,439 Speaker 1: played them earlier in the year, they were you know, 1281 01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:36,400 Speaker 1: they're a good team, regardless whether it was ere on 1282 01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 1: this season or whether it's now. Um, early in the year, 1283 01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,439 Speaker 1: people might have been saying that they were, you know, 1284 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,720 Speaker 1: they might not fought the same team as they were 1285 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 1: in the year prior or Well, clearly they aren't. You know, 1286 01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,400 Speaker 1: they're they're a great They're a great team offense and 1287 01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:54,360 Speaker 1: on defense. And we're we're excited for the challenge. And 1288 01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:57,360 Speaker 1: then coach Dabele just the other day when he was 1289 01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,320 Speaker 1: addressed in the media, he was asked specifically, you know 1290 01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: about Chris Jones, and he made it pretty plain. He said, 1291 01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 1: that guy's a problem. Um, how do you guys go 1292 01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 1: about reducing the problem that he is and making him 1293 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 1: as ineffective as possible. So we're gonna stay through our 1294 01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:22,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna stay stay true to our techniques in our coaching. Um, 1295 01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,479 Speaker 1: you know the way we passed that we might be 1296 01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:26,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna do the same things we've been 1297 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:28,880 Speaker 1: doing all year. Um. At the end of the day, 1298 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,200 Speaker 1: he's just the guy with the number on his chest. Um, 1299 01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,800 Speaker 1: And we're gonna we're gonna execute our techniques. We're gonna 1300 01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:38,080 Speaker 1: execute our game plan. Um, it doesn't matter who lines 1301 01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,360 Speaker 1: up across from us, We're gonna We're gonna play Bills football. 1302 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:45,000 Speaker 1: And as this game gets closer and closer, what is 1303 01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 1: the vibe in your locker room about you know, last 1304 01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,800 Speaker 1: year's AFC Championship game, the Week five win, what's being said? 1305 01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,120 Speaker 1: And you know the fact that your defense has been 1306 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,679 Speaker 1: played so well and gotten no Pro Bowl players I mean, 1307 01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,320 Speaker 1: what's your what's the motivating vibe coming out of the 1308 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,920 Speaker 1: Bills locker room.

That that got 1328 01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:59,040 Speaker 1: me charged up. We're not gonna take any crap. We 1329 01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,840 Speaker 1: don't care how many A titles this team has right 1330 01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:04,120 Speaker 1: which is right now two in a row. And considering yeah, 1331 01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,080 Speaker 1: and consider too that you know they kept you from 1332 01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,240 Speaker 1: getting one. Yeah, it's it's big. It really helps. And 1333 01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,320 Speaker 1: you think it's been a long time for buildings to 1334 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,640 Speaker 1: think how meant much the fans have gone through all 1335 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:16,639 Speaker 1: these wins and the last week's win and the two 1336 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,600 Speaker 1: Atlanta the two Patriot games, the Tampa Bay game, you know, 1337 01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:22,320 Speaker 1: the Tennessee game, all the way all the way through 1338 01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,559 Speaker 1: the regular season, and all the things you've been through, 1339 01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,559 Speaker 1: and thinking about what the players have been through since 1340 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:32,160 Speaker 1: that last DAFC championship game. Don't think it takes too much. 1341 01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,240 Speaker 1: Because as hard as it is for people remember okay, 1342 01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:35,680 Speaker 1: I remember that game we kind of got we got 1343 01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,680 Speaker 1: beat by two touchdowns and we had leading early in 1344 01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:44,040 Speaker 1: the game, the players remember it. They remember everything about plays, 1345 01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:48,400 Speaker 1: the plays, everything. They'll go watch the film and they'll 1346 01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,760 Speaker 1: remember the attitude. They'll remember, you know, all of it. 1347 01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:55,800 Speaker 1: So it doesn't take much to conjure up some real 1348 01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:57,599 Speaker 1: dislike for the team you're playing that put you out 1349 01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 1: of the playoffs the year before. From one offensive player 1350 01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,559 Speaker 1: two another, we go from Ryan Bates now to Josh Allen, 1351 01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,280 Speaker 1: who is addressing the media post practice. We've been playing 1352 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:09,920 Speaker 1: really good football as of late, and now we got 1353 01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,200 Speaker 1: a good opportunity to go out there in Sunday play 1354 01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:15,679 Speaker 1: against a really good Chiefs. Chiefs team that have been 1355 01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:19,120 Speaker 1: really the top dog in the AFC for the last 1356 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,600 Speaker 1: few years, and you know, we're looking forward to an opportunity. 1357 01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:29,240 Speaker 1: Thank you for your time, doctor Josh. Mookie arc Is, 1358 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,000 Speaker 1: we're force worth TODAYI how you doing today? Man? Good move, 1359 01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,920 Speaker 1: Good to see you once again. You performed surgery with 1360 01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:39,720 Speaker 1: the chains, are throwing for more touchdowns than incompletions. Now. 1361 01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:42,680 Speaker 1: How much do you think about what you said on 1362 01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:47,679 Speaker 1: draft day to prepare your mindset for games like this? Um? 1363 01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean again, I think whenever a quarterbacks drafted in 1364 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,400 Speaker 1: the first round, UM, you know they expect you to 1365 01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,519 Speaker 1: get to a position like this and to playing big 1366 01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,599 Speaker 1: games like this. So you know, we've had a couple 1367 01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 1: opportunit the last couple of years and it's no different 1368 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,480 Speaker 1: in this year. We've given ourselves a chance to accomplish 1369 01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 1: what we want accomplish. Now it's up to us to 1370 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:08,639 Speaker 1: go out there and execute and try to go put 1371 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:10,880 Speaker 1: our best foot forward on Sunday against a really good team. 1372 01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 1: And um, we know that they know that it's gonna 1373 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,599 Speaker 1: be Uh, it's gonna be a dog fight, um, as 1374 01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:19,720 Speaker 1: as playoff games always are. UM. So again we're we're 1375 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:21,400 Speaker 1: excited for an opportunity to go out there and playing 1376 01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,120 Speaker 1: other games. Not many people are playing playing football this 1377 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:26,559 Speaker 1: late and we know that. So we're not taking this 1378 01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,760 Speaker 1: opportunity to light it now. Josh, you have person, you 1379 01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,960 Speaker 1: have adjusted, you have persevered. How does this team overcome 1380 01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,320 Speaker 1: Sunday and put the Chiefs to bed at Arrowhead? Again, 1381 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,719 Speaker 1: It's it's easier said than done. I'll tell you that 1382 01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:42,760 Speaker 1: it's a team that, um, you know, they don't they 1383 01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:46,400 Speaker 1: don't lose many games in the playoffs, especially at home. Um, 1384 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:51,000 Speaker 1: and they're playing some really good football right now. Again, 1385 01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,360 Speaker 1: I think everybody in the world knows who the Chiefs 1386 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,400 Speaker 1: are and um, they're they're they're hard, hard to be 1387 01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,120 Speaker 1: especially at home. So we got to go put our 1388 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,960 Speaker 1: best foot forward and try to excod game playing a man, 1389 01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,400 Speaker 1: have a great week of practice, and good look on Sunday. 1390 01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:10,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, hey, josh Adambanini. Just to kind of follow 1391 01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:14,479 Speaker 1: up on that, UM, looking at them, very different team 1392 01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:16,920 Speaker 1: than the one you took on back in week five. 1393 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,840 Speaker 1: They've evolved a lot, actually on both sides of the ball. Defensively, 1394 01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,360 Speaker 1: you know very much included in that. What do you 1395 01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:26,040 Speaker 1: see from them as you begin to study him that's 1396 01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,960 Speaker 1: maybe different about them on that side. I mean they're 1397 01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,840 Speaker 1: throwing so many looks at the opposing quarterbacks right now, 1398 01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 1: bringing pressures from from every side. Imaginable. They got guys 1399 01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:40,559 Speaker 1: that are playing really well obviously UM ninety five move 1400 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,559 Speaker 1: back inside and when he when he wants to go, 1401 01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,400 Speaker 1: he can go against anybody, and he's one of the 1402 01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:48,479 Speaker 1: better players in the league. UM. And obviously outside they 1403 01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:50,080 Speaker 1: got a couple of guys that can go get after 1404 01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback, some smart, savvy guys in the secondary that 1405 01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,679 Speaker 1: are they're playing really good football together right now. So 1406 01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,240 Speaker 1: we got to be on top of on top of 1407 01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:02,040 Speaker 1: our game, UM communication and wise obviously with the crowd noise, 1408 01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,000 Speaker 1: and we got to make some plays come Sunday night. 1409 01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,760 Speaker 1: And just just to follow up on that, I you know, 1410 01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 1: I think back to talking to you before and after 1411 01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:13,439 Speaker 1: your first playoff game in Houston, and then I think 1412 01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:16,360 Speaker 1: to to you know what you and the rest of 1413 01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,559 Speaker 1: the offense were able to accomplish on Saturday night, and 1414 01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:22,200 Speaker 1: I see the progress in the evolution there. I guess 1415 01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:25,080 Speaker 1: how much does experience teach you and help you in 1416 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,599 Speaker 1: situations like this because you're familiar with the spotlight now 1417 01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:31,360 Speaker 1: and maybe how are you a different quarterback now than 1418 01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:35,200 Speaker 1: you were then? Um, I mean, I think it's just 1419 01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:39,280 Speaker 1: repetitions of in game reps in you know, being in 1420 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,439 Speaker 1: the playoffs the last few years, taking the experience and 1421 01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:46,559 Speaker 1: the knowledge that we've gained, understanding that every drive that 1422 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,800 Speaker 1: you have in the playoffs is is very crucial to 1423 01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,639 Speaker 1: the game. Being smart with the football and not pressing, 1424 01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:57,080 Speaker 1: and again playing away games, it's it's not easy to do, 1425 01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:00,400 Speaker 1: especially come playoff time, and on top that in a 1426 01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:04,160 Speaker 1: place like Arrowhead where those fans are super loud and 1427 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 1: they make it really hard for the opposing team. So 1428 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 1: again this week in practice, you gotta be locked in communications, 1429 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:14,040 Speaker 1: snap cadence, and then obviously executing our game plan, which 1430 01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:20,439 Speaker 1: we got to go try to do something night. Thanks Josh, Hey, Josh, 1431 01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:26,439 Speaker 1: John Warrel a p M. Your experiences and with Micah 1432 01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,599 Speaker 1: Hyde and Jordan Employer when you've got here, and maybe 1433 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:33,759 Speaker 1: the impressions that you've got of their leadership of ability 1434 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:35,400 Speaker 1: even though they're on the other side of the ball. 1435 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,519 Speaker 1: You know, when you go back to twenty eighteen and um, 1436 01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:42,000 Speaker 1: what do you make of their presence when you got 1437 01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:45,000 Speaker 1: here and what it is now? Yeah, I mean I 1438 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,679 Speaker 1: don't think it's changed at all, to be honest. Their jews, 1439 01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:53,400 Speaker 1: their energy, it's unmatched. Their positivity, I think is really 1440 01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,559 Speaker 1: something that sets them apart too. I've never once heard 1441 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,120 Speaker 1: them complain my four years here about anything. No, no 1442 01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,760 Speaker 1: point in finger especially you know early on in my 1443 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:05,040 Speaker 1: career or the offense. Um, you know we weren't, um 1444 01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:08,320 Speaker 1: the offense that we are now. Um. And again our 1445 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,280 Speaker 1: defense is playing really good football as they always have. 1446 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,439 Speaker 1: And there was no you guys need to do this 1447 01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:13,880 Speaker 1: or you guys need to be better. It was we 1448 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,080 Speaker 1: need to be we need to be better. And um 1449 01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:18,240 Speaker 1: they've constantly gotten better each and every year. But the 1450 01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:21,160 Speaker 1: way that they can communicate and move in tandem out 1451 01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:23,280 Speaker 1: there on defense, it's it's pretty fun to watch. And 1452 01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:26,040 Speaker 1: obviously you see you see the athletes start rolling in 1453 01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: for them. Um, And in my opinion, they should have 1454 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:29,960 Speaker 1: been rolling in a lot sooner in the last couple 1455 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,640 Speaker 1: of years because they've been playing to top their game 1456 01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:34,680 Speaker 1: for a while now. When I'm not sure if you 1457 01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,479 Speaker 1: guys watched the tape, but when you see Michael Hyde 1458 01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:41,519 Speaker 1: make that interception, UM, I mean, what do you make 1459 01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,800 Speaker 1: of that? But play? And I know it was early 1460 01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:48,040 Speaker 1: on in the game, and UM, it's hard to say 1461 01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,400 Speaker 1: this about a play, but it was a it was 1462 01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:51,800 Speaker 1: a game altering play, um that early in the game, 1463 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:54,200 Speaker 1: giving us, giving us an opportunity to go out there 1464 01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,639 Speaker 1: and get the ball back, especially the way their offense 1465 01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 1: was driving that first drive. And for him to make 1466 01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:03,439 Speaker 1: that play one was spectacular over the shoulder, basically eyes closed, 1467 01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:06,040 Speaker 1: like I don't know how he made it, but he did. 1468 01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:07,920 Speaker 1: And that's that's what he's been doing all year. And 1469 01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:12,120 Speaker 1: again we're gonna need those two, including everybody, going forward 1470 01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,439 Speaker 1: if we want to accomplish what we want to accomplish. 1471 01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:20,240 Speaker 1: Thanks Josh, Josh map Obey, how you doing today. Good 1472 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,800 Speaker 1: to see a Matt Hey. Thanks. Um, so question for you, 1473 01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:25,880 Speaker 1: it's not to the level that you know you guys 1474 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:27,960 Speaker 1: have seen the Patriots. But how do you pick and 1475 01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:31,160 Speaker 1: choose between all of these matchups with the Chiefs these 1476 01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,400 Speaker 1: last couple of years, Like what worked, what didn't work? 1477 01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:37,400 Speaker 1: How do you, I guess, differentiate like knowing what they 1478 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,519 Speaker 1: were able to stop, but also knowing what you guys 1479 01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 1: did to have success. How do you kind of balance 1480 01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:45,840 Speaker 1: that out? Yeah, I mean I think, um, you know, 1481 01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:47,880 Speaker 1: it just came down to making some plays in that 1482 01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:51,479 Speaker 1: last game and being smart with the football, understanding what 1483 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 1: they were trying to do us defensively. And again, um, 1484 01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:57,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're playing at a different level in my opinion, 1485 01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:58,760 Speaker 1: than we played him the first time. And we know that. 1486 01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,080 Speaker 1: I think everybody else knows that they've They've come on 1487 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,720 Speaker 1: really strong at the end of the season. They're they're 1488 01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:05,320 Speaker 1: one of the top groups in the league right now. 1489 01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,880 Speaker 1: But again, the way they can mix up pressures and 1490 01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:12,320 Speaker 1: force turnovers is really making them go right now. And 1491 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:15,160 Speaker 1: again it's it's on the quarterback to make the right 1492 01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:17,280 Speaker 1: decisions and not to put the ball in harm's way 1493 01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,320 Speaker 1: and not give their offense an opportunity for a short field. 1494 01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,960 Speaker 1: I know you guys all right. That's Josh Allen addressing 1495 01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:29,880 Speaker 1: the media today and fully expecting everything under the sun 1496 01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:35,200 Speaker 1: from defensive coordinator Steve Spagnola the Chiefs. He's expecting disguised 1497 01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,320 Speaker 1: pressure looks. He's expecting seven or eight to get dropped 1498 01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:43,120 Speaker 1: into coverage. At times, he's ready and waiting for the 1499 01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:45,559 Speaker 1: Chiefs to spind the wheel, because they're going to spend 1500 01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:47,880 Speaker 1: the wheel. They've got to Today. I find something that 1501 01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:49,800 Speaker 1: the Bills are going to struggle doing up at this 1502 01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:51,519 Speaker 1: point in the last couple of games, Josh has a 1503 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:54,680 Speaker 1: struggle of doing anything against good defense is if you 1504 01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,160 Speaker 1: pressure him, he escapes and makes a big play. If 1505 01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 1: you don't pressure him, he picks you apart. If you 1506 01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:03,040 Speaker 1: play man, his wide receivers are good enough to get separation. 1507 01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,840 Speaker 1: If he plays owe, he picks you apart. It has 1508 01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:12,160 Speaker 1: been a really unbelievable stretch for Josh. Allen's a quarterback 1509 01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 1: and defensive coordinator's got to find a way. If you 1510 01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:19,599 Speaker 1: go zero coverage and you rush only four and double 1511 01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:22,160 Speaker 1: cover a couple of guys, Josh is running up behind 1512 01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:24,679 Speaker 1: the defensive backs and snapping off a nineteen or twenty 1513 01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:28,760 Speaker 1: five yard run like he did against the Patriots. You 1514 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,479 Speaker 1: almost have to what you're trying to do as a 1515 01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:34,600 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Brownie is this and it sounds weird, but 1516 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:36,679 Speaker 1: this is exactly what they do. They're trying to find 1517 01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:40,400 Speaker 1: a way to make Josh Allen make a mistake. That's 1518 01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:41,840 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do. They're trying to give him 1519 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:43,720 Speaker 1: something that he thinks he's thrown it here when he 1520 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:48,120 Speaker 1: shouldn't be throwing it there, or to step away from 1521 01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:52,000 Speaker 1: pressure when there's no pressure there and make a bad 1522 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:53,559 Speaker 1: You know, they're trying to make him make a bad throw. 1523 01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,439 Speaker 1: That's hard to do. It's one thing to take away 1524 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:00,200 Speaker 1: options and not leave the guy anything where he has 1525 01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,400 Speaker 1: to throw it away or whatever. But if he if 1526 01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:04,320 Speaker 1: he has to throw it away, Josh may pull it 1527 01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:08,720 Speaker 1: down a run for first down. I mean, it's it's 1528 01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,120 Speaker 1: what people have been facing with Mahomes for all these 1529 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:14,160 Speaker 1: years of his career. Yeah. Um, you just have to 1530 01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:16,240 Speaker 1: force him into making a mistake. And sometimes the best 1531 01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:17,559 Speaker 1: way to do it you get him in the pocket, 1532 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:19,840 Speaker 1: maybe you slap it out of his hand with the way, 1533 01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:21,479 Speaker 1: which is the way they were doing in the first 1534 01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:23,240 Speaker 1: half of the season. You know, Mahomes was just too 1535 01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,000 Speaker 1: loose with the football and he was coughing it up. 1536 01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 1: That's what these defensive coordinates. I've got to figure out 1537 01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:31,679 Speaker 1: a way to do. That's hard to do, to scheme that. Yeah, 1538 01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,240 Speaker 1: and you know, even Las Vegas believes this is going 1539 01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:36,920 Speaker 1: to be a high scoring affair. I think the over 1540 01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:39,479 Speaker 1: under is fifty four and a half or something, so 1541 01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:43,880 Speaker 1: they're expecting you that at the least to be in 1542 01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:48,240 Speaker 1: the high twenties for both at the least. So yeah. 1543 01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,639 Speaker 1: I mean, as we heard some of our guests today say, 1544 01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:56,040 Speaker 1: both defenses are going to be very challenged to keep 1545 01:25:56,080 --> 01:26:00,280 Speaker 1: both of these high powered offenses down on the score board. 1546 01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:04,519 Speaker 1: And aggressiveness, I think is going to have to play 1547 01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:07,080 Speaker 1: into this because both of these offenses are going to 1548 01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:11,559 Speaker 1: get their share. Be aggressive where you can be knowing 1549 01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:13,760 Speaker 1: it could be the difference in the game, knowing what 1550 01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:16,400 Speaker 1: you know about Andy Reid where he goes for like 1551 01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,160 Speaker 1: sixty percent of the time on fourth down to the 1552 01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:21,439 Speaker 1: playoffs even more than he does. And don't forget how 1553 01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:23,680 Speaker 1: the game went last year where the Bills had a 1554 01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:25,800 Speaker 1: nine point lead in the first quarter and all that 1555 01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 1: was going on, and then you know, they took the 1556 01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:30,280 Speaker 1: field goal instead of going from the two yards and 1557 01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:33,360 Speaker 1: two right, and you know, that was one of the 1558 01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:35,240 Speaker 1: things where you know, even Sean McDermot said, I wish 1559 01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:36,599 Speaker 1: I had that one back, or have thought about doing 1560 01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:39,840 Speaker 1: something different, or you know, in retrospect, think of how 1561 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,080 Speaker 1: aggressive these guys have a mindset that they're going to 1562 01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:46,320 Speaker 1: be going in Andy Reid and Sean McDermott. I mean, 1563 01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,760 Speaker 1: if you're anywhere past what your forty yard line or 1564 01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,080 Speaker 1: your fifty yard line, for sure you're gonna go. Like 1565 01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,960 Speaker 1: if it's fourth and less than five and you got 1566 01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 1: to think about going for it, you know, oh yeah, 1567 01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:00,760 Speaker 1: that's that's if you're that's if the defense can get 1568 01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,559 Speaker 1: you to fourth and five. The Bills faced six third 1569 01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:07,639 Speaker 1: downs last weekend and converted all of them, and none 1570 01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:13,400 Speaker 1: of them was longer than third and four. You gotta, 1571 01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you just gotta, like, forget no breaks. Let's 1572 01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:18,880 Speaker 1: just go all gas, no breaks, as it does A 1573 01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:22,800 Speaker 1: Knox said last week all gas, no breaks, which ironically 1574 01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:27,320 Speaker 1: was the Jets motto under Robert Slow this year. Speaking 1575 01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:30,320 Speaker 1: of breaks, we have to take one, and Steve and 1576 01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:32,160 Speaker 1: I will step aside now, but we'll be back to 1577 01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:34,439 Speaker 1: close it up here on one Bills Live presented by 1578 01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:48,800 Speaker 1: Collot of health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio, all right, So 1579 01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:50,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna wrap it up with some comments on the 1580 01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:52,640 Speaker 1: tweet sheet, brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the 1581 01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,280 Speaker 1: official equipment moving company the Buffalo Bills. How might this 1582 01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 1: Bill's chief playoff matchup be different from their Week five game? 1583 01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 1: Jack says, the Bills will be dealing with a fully 1584 01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,439 Speaker 1: healthy Chiefs d line, which will test our old line 1585 01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,800 Speaker 1: more the Bills, we need to have more screens and 1586 01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,400 Speaker 1: quick hitters worked into the playsheet to take advantage of 1587 01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:12,080 Speaker 1: Kansas City's aggressive front. They can't let Casey out muscle 1588 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:15,400 Speaker 1: them or get in their heads like last year, which 1589 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:18,760 Speaker 1: is accurate. Nick says, the Chiefs are playing better on 1590 01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:20,880 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Not to take anything away 1591 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:23,720 Speaker 1: from our great performance last time, but we definitely face 1592 01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:26,759 Speaker 1: them during their rough patch. We'll need to play great 1593 01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:28,840 Speaker 1: for the second week in a row. In Our consistency 1594 01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:32,400 Speaker 1: this year has me a little worried. They've been pretty 1595 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: consistent down the stretch though. Ian Yeah, they yes, there 1596 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,400 Speaker 1: was that eight week stretch, but no more. They have 1597 01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:42,479 Speaker 1: strung together some very nice, very nice games, so their 1598 01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,120 Speaker 1: consistency seems to be a little bit more on track now. 1599 01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,679 Speaker 1: They scored thirty almost thirty points and then forty points 1600 01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:52,519 Speaker 1: this last week, five weeks straight, so there. JT says. 1601 01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 1: Both teams tweaked a few things in their offenses. Mahomes 1602 01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:57,280 Speaker 1: doesn't do that jittery run around like a chicken with 1603 01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:59,760 Speaker 1: a tech cutoff thing anymore, and the Bills now have 1604 01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:03,240 Speaker 1: a dangerous pass run tandem, so the defense doesn't know 1605 01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:05,679 Speaker 1: what's coming as much. Bill's win thirty eight twenty eight 1606 01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:10,000 Speaker 1: Go Bills and Bill Victory says, besides two games against 1607 01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:12,960 Speaker 1: the Broncos and the October Bills game, Casey has not 1608 01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:18,960 Speaker 1: played very good defenses. Our d will ball all right. 1609 01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:23,400 Speaker 1: I really nothing would make me happier than to see 1610 01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:27,840 Speaker 1: Buffalo's defense live up to the number one ranking. Yeah, 1611 01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:32,960 Speaker 1: just to make that statement like, yes, we love Josh Allen, 1612 01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,559 Speaker 1: he's our leader, but you know what, we got pretty 1613 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:39,400 Speaker 1: damn good defense too. Yeah, that'd be something that could 1614 01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:41,840 Speaker 1: be hard to do though, Oh my goodness against these guys. 1615 01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:44,760 Speaker 1: This game is shaping out. I bet they're and Jim 1616 01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:46,800 Speaker 1: Nance said it. I'll bet there's fifty million people watching. 1617 01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:50,320 Speaker 1: I be able to sleep come tomorrow. That's three days away. 1618 01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make it. I'm gonna be pie eyed 1619 01:29:52,920 --> 01:30:01,479 Speaker 1: by Sunday. We'll see you tomorrow at one
