1
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: How the snamp they're gonna run it. Here goes Singletary

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: driving up the middle into the end zone. Touchdown, Buffalo

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: Motor Singletary touchdown. Bill gives it to Singletary driving to

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: g endzone. He is in touchdown Buffalo, his second touchdown

5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: of the first quarter. The Bills take the lead. That's

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: a pocket. Gonna loft one down the middle and he's

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: picked up, intercepted by Ben for the Rooks. He picks

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: it off at his own forty. He starts up the

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: right side across midfield in to Minnesota territory and his

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: family forced out about snap. Josh in the gun fires

11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: one toward the end zone looking for Gabe. Davis goes

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: up high, makes the catch. Yes, touchdown. Buffalo gave Davis

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: touchdown from Josh Allen and eleven yards strike. What a

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: drive that was. It took Listen and took him out

15
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: a minute and a half. Now Madison in the Minnesota backfield,

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: play action fake to him. Cousins pants it. What intercepted

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: picked up by the build on the far side. It

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: is intercepted by Dame Jackson and he runs it back

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo forty yard line. It's close down there.

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: He's close to the goal line. The biking celebrating. They

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: think they've stopped him in the end zone. Let's see.

22
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: So he's fumbled. He fumbled and it's a tough down.

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh my goodness. At the bottom of

24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: the pile, they scrambled for the football. How did that happen?

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: Snamp is down, Tyler Bass. Kick is up and it

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: is good. And this game is tied up. There are

27
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: two seconds left. We're all tied up in thirty Can

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: you believe it? We are going to overtime. Thirty three

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: yard attempt. The snap is good, the kick is on

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: the way, It is up, and it is good. They

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 1: lead it now thirty three to thirty with three forty

32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: two left to play, and it's all on Josh Allen

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: shoulders out snap, the Josh looks, looks, wait, fires down

34
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: straight down. The mid'll intercepted in the end zone. Patrick

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: Peterson picks it off and that will end it. The

36
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: Vikings win a Josh Allens through an interception in the

37
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: end zone. That Peterson the venteran picked off two guards

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: deep in the end zone. That is your Toshiba game,

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: or rewind Toshiba. The official Copier Company of the Buffalo Bills.

40
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: Welcome to a Buffalo Football Monday, where it feels more

41
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: like a funeral than anything else. After a game with

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: so many highs and so many lows and bonus football,

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: it ends terrible. It ends in terrible fashion for the

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: Bills and all the fans that we're out there on Sunday.

45
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: They go home disappointed, frustrated, probably angry, and we understand

46
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: why as Buffalo once again sinks itself with turnovers being

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: the major culprit in another defeat, the second straight to

48
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: fall to six and three on the season, lose their

49
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: top spot in the conference and now sit in third

50
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: place in the AFC East via a tiebreaker due to

51
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: head to head losses to both the Dolphins and the

52
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: Jets this season. Yeah, hello, yeah, I gotta tell you,

53
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: certainly the Vikings make some crucial play. This is the

54
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: way they play football. They're kind of used to play

55
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: in this way. It kind of makes them look like,

56
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, they carried they've got a you know, a

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: horseshoe tied or tattooed on their back. Right. Um, some

58
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: fortunate and I thought the plays for and against the

59
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: Bills officials wise call wise probably even down a little bit. Um,

60
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: this is a game that you gotta It's so easy

61
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: to throw darts at this play that play, the play selection,

62
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback sneak, the fumbled snap, that play that gives

63
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: you the chance to end the game. All you gotta

64
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: do is get the quarterback sneak, push forward games over.

65
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: Couldn't do it. Um, same thing with the with the

66
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: same thing with the fourth and eighteen catch by Justin Jefferson.

67
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is knock that play away and

68
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: instead you trying to fight for the ball allows Justin

69
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Jefferson to pull it in that could have ended the game.

70
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Plays like that are in you know, you just you

71
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: can throw darts at this game. But here's the thing.

72
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: You gotta know, ups and downs and things like this

73
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: happen in games you win too, But you don't start

74
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: throwing darts at those when you win games. You know

75
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It highlights what you didn't do right

76
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: when the game doesn't go your way, and plays like

77
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: the Justin Jefferson catch, which really really unbelievable. Our friend

78
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: Peter King said that catch by Justin Jefferson when it

79
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be picked off. He says,

80
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: it's one of the all time great catches in NFL history.

81
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: And for a regular season game game, it's up there,

82
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: it's up there, it's up there. Gave him a chance

83
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: to win the game on a fourth and eighteen. So

84
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: that's hard to that's hard to swallow. Was as a team,

85
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: as a player, as a you know, coach, watching your

86
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: team go through that, that's a crusher. And I know

87
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: that people leaving the stadium last night we're, oh my

88
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: goysh bitter about it. But listen, that still got a

89
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: really good football team. You're looking at a lot of

90
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: chances to play better than they have to get to

91
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: a six and three record, and you gotta think they're

92
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: gonna do that at some point. Certainly, Josh, for all

93
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: to talk about his elbow, seemed to throw it okay.

94
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if he got as much on it

95
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: as he wanted to at the end of the game there, Yeah,

96
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: that last throw curiously did not have a lot of

97
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: zip on it. I don't know if his arm is

98
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: like he's not whatever, We'll find that out later. But

99
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: certainly made a bunch of plays that are you know,

100
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: kind of Josh out and like in this game. But

101
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: you can go around and around with his game about

102
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: you know the Vikings and now Vikings are eight and one,

103
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: Bills six and three. It's a big swing for the Bills. Um,

104
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: like you said, from the one seed to the sixth seed,

105
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: third in your division. Uh. Three AFC East teams now

106
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: and sitting in the playoff spot. None of them are

107
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: the last seed. There. The Miami is, Miami is the

108
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: five seed, Bills are the sixth seed. Uh. And of

109
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: course the Jets are at the top of the AFC East.

110
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: That's a big swing, and that's kind of what you

111
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: get here early in this In midway through the season,

112
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be harder and harder to remain in

113
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: that spot. Miami's in first place in the division. They're

114
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: seven and three. Cats were idol, they're six and three.

115
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: I got you, I got you. So there you go.

116
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: Miami is the second seed, Jets are the fifth seed,

117
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo is the sixth seed. New England's the seventh seed

118
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: after the loss by the Chargers last night. How about it?

119
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: All four teams, all the four teams are in the

120
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: player in the playoffs. That lets you know how crazy

121
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: it is right now, and how how different things can

122
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: go for if you don't watch your what you gotta

123
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: win games Like yes the Bills are now second in

124
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: the league in turnovers with eighteen in nine games. Only

125
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: the Saints have more than them with nineteen this season

126
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: thanks to two Andy Dalton interceptions yesterday puts the Bills

127
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: also at in the MI colonor minus one, which quite frankly,

128
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: might be the biggest shame of it all because the defense,

129
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: basically with seventeen takeaways, I think they're second in the

130
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: league in takeaways. And it doesn't mean a hillibeans because

131
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: you've given it away more than your team has taken

132
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: it away. Alan now has a total of ten interceptions.

133
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: He leads the NFL in picks, four lost fumbles, so

134
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: fourteen turnovers in nine games this season. Since Week five,

135
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: six of Allen's last eight turnovers have come in the

136
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: red zone, with three coming in the end zone, two

137
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: of which happened yesterday. In Allen's first four NFL seasons,

138
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: he had thrown just two red zone interceptions. The worst

139
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: part is the Bills. Yesterday, we're playing the worst red

140
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: zone defense in football. The Minnesota Vikings were giving up

141
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns at a clip of eighty percent this season eighty percent,

142
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: and the Bills walked two in at the start of

143
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: the game. Worst red zone defense in football, and you

144
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: turn it over twice in the red zone Bills were,

145
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: so you're giving up touchdowns at an eighty three percent clip.

146
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: After those first two scores by the Bills in the

147
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: red zone, Devin Singletary touchdown runs, you go one for

148
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: four the rest of the way in the red zone

149
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: with two interceptions. Up twenty seven to ten Sunday against

150
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: the Vikings with under two minutes remaining in the third quarter,

151
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo appeared to have the game in control, but for

152
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: the second straight week, the Bills failed to reach the

153
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: end zone in the second half. It costs them the game.

154
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: The Vikings scored twenty unanswered points with fourteen coming off turnovers,

155
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: to take the lead with under a minute to play

156
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: in regulation. A week prior, the Bills squandered a fourteen

157
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: three first half lead to the Jets, dropped a three

158
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: point decision there. Buffalo has not scored a second half

159
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: touchdown since Week six at Kansas City. The game winning

160
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Dawson Knox in the end zone the

161
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: seventeen point lead that was surrendered by the Bills yesterday

162
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: is their biggest lead given up in eleven years. And

163
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: you have to go all the way back to the

164
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: twenty eleven season finale for the Bills Bills versus Patriots.

165
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: Bills sprint out to a twenty one nothing first quarter

166
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: lead on the Patriots in a week seventeen matchup in

167
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: twenty eleven and then get shut out the rest of

168
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: the game as the Patriots roll up forty nine unanswered

169
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: to beat Buffalo forty nine twenty one. It's different now.

170
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: When the Bills lose, it's by a close margin, and

171
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: usually it's because of self inflicted wounds. Buffalo now has

172
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: three losses by a total of eight points this season. Yeah,

173
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You get this maddening and the Bills

174
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: We've all talked about how they don't run the ball well,

175
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: and people are like, well, who cares? You know you

176
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: gotta you know, you got this guy. You can put

177
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: your foot on the gas. You got Josh and he

178
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: can run it when he needs to. And here's the

179
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: problem that and mechanically and logistically why logistically is the

180
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: right word. Mechanically Why this comes up to be a problem.

181
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 1: You get a lead like the Bills had yesterday, the

182
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: seventeen point lead, you can't run the football. That means

183
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: you got to keep your foot on the gas offensively

184
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: because you can't run it. You can't bleed the clock,

185
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: you can't run your form in an offense. It's you've

186
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: got to keep your foot on the gat. You gotta

187
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: keep scoring, and if you do that, you run the

188
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: risk against a desperate defense. It's gonna do some things

189
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: to try and win the game. You're not playing in

190
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: a vacuum. You end up turning it over like the

191
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: Bills have done because you can't run the football and

192
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: keep it out of there and play conservative offense and

193
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: still get first downs. So you still keep trying to

194
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: gun it and run it down the field, and you

195
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: get into these games where you got to keep pressing,

196
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: and you get into good against good football teams, which

197
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: the Bills are playing good football teams now because they

198
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: got a first play schedule. They're playing the Vikings, they're

199
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: playing and the Jets, and then their own division is

200
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: absolutely mushrooming to be. It's three other pretty good teams

201
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: right now. So you're playing these the schedule where these teams,

202
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: when they get desperate, they can do some things and

203
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: they get you to turn it over. That leaves you

204
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: open to leaving, you know, not being able to close

205
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: out games. You lose close games because your offense is good.

206
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: But when you turn it over, you give them a

207
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: chance to get back in and they nip you at

208
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: the end. That's why all your losses are by one point,

209
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: two points, three points. That's why you're losing close games.

210
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: And when you win, the other team just doesn't get it.

211
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: They can't get it together. They can't put together enough

212
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: plays against you. Particularly with the defense. The Bills are

213
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: playing to win it. You saw yesterday the Bills shut

214
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: it out with their d defense twice on a fourth

215
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: and goal on a half yard line, they stop a

216
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: fourth fourth down. It's quarterback sneak to give you the

217
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: ball back. You lose that out, You lose that opportunity.

218
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: And then on a fourth and eighteen they set themselves

219
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: up with a fourth and eighteen. If you want to

220
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: say something about the Bills defense, yesterday the Vikings converted

221
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: on It was bad deal when the Bills got into

222
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: a third and long defensively because they couldn't get him

223
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: off the field. They gave up three third and ten

224
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: pluses in the first half alone, let alone the fourth

225
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: and eighteen they converted vikings were three of five on

226
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: fourth down. That's a three of five. That's a crusher.

227
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: That one was again it was a fourth and eighteen.

228
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: I think another was a fourth and eleven. Fourth and

229
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: sixth was another one. They got twelve yards on that one.

230
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, the defense play had its moments.

231
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: N't have a problem with them. Yeah, the defense played

232
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: really and I want to say this too. Cam Lewis

233
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: is killing himself over that fourth and eighteen. You know,

234
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: there's one other thing early in the game he did

235
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: the Bills defense a really good favorite because he was

236
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: gonna pick off a pass to Hawkinson in the end zone.

237
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 1: Howkinson tackled him before the ball got their offensive he

238
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: got an offensive pass interference. Cam Lewis is going the

239
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: other direction with that. That kind of gets lost in

240
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: the wash because of the fourth and eighteen where he

241
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: looked he was gonna intercept that one as well. Well,

242
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: And as he explained it, initially he thought the ball

243
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: was completely over Jefferson's head. So initially he's thinking, oh,

244
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: it's over his head. I can catch this ball, and

245
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Jefferson's hand comes out of nowhere.

246
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: And to change your thinking in that split second to

247
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: knock it down, I think is difficult for anybody to

248
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: process in a nanosecond. I mean, he's thinking, this is

249
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: an overthrow. I'm picking it off, and then all of

250
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: a sudden, jefferson hand is there in there. And then

251
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: Lewis actually helps him secure the ball because his left

252
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: hand acts as Jefferson's left hand on the play, and

253
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: He's able to get to the ground without losing it.

254
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: And then he just curls up on it. It's unfortunate.

255
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: The saddest I said it. The saddest thing about all

256
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: the turnovers is they have completely wiped out the turnovers

257
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: that Buffalo's defense is forced. The Bill's defense despite not

258
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: having Micah Hide the rest of the way, no Jordan

259
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: Poyer for half of their games, Edmonds and Milano in

260
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: and out of the lineup, not Tredavious White all season,

261
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson, Kyer E Lam Christian Benford all missing games

262
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: through the first nine weeks of the season. Buffalo ranks

263
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: second in the league in takeaways with seventeen second in

264
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: the league, and it doesn't mean a hill of beans

265
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: because he'd given it away eighteen times. Yeah, the Josh

266
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: Allen we saw in overtime yesterday was a different Josh Allen. Okay,

267
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: we've talked over the years, you know, when he was

268
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: younger as sugar high Josh. What we saw yesterday was

269
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: angry Josh Allen. He was angry because of the turnover

270
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: he had on his own goal line when he bobbled

271
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: the snap and handed the Vikings to go ahead touchdown.

272
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: And you might think angry Josh Allen is a good thing,

273
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's just as dangerous as sugar Hi

274
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He took. Yeah, and I'll say this too.

275
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: He in overtime he ran the ball twice and he

276
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: was just you could tell he was angry. He was angry,

277
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: really angry about the about the fumble in the end

278
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: zone that gave him the chance to you know, to

279
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: take something to be said about that too, which we have. Yeah,

280
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: and yeah, that to me that I'll finish this thought

281
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen. You could tell he was angry. And

282
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: that's where you and I'm sure Ken Dorsey's up there

283
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: saying hey, Josh, you take take a breath here, because

284
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: somebody's got to be in his ear saying hey, because

285
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: you can tell. I mean, all of us have seen

286
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: every snap he's taken. You can tell what he's thinking.

287
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes he wears that on his sleeve. You knew he

288
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: was angry. He was he was saying, listen, we are

289
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: not going to lose this game. And at that point

290
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: somebody's got to say, who whaha, bro, calm down, get

291
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: into your Zen spot, and just spread it around a

292
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: little bit. And that was yes, because the biggest development

293
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen's game last season was staying even keeled.

294
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: We talked to his offseason quarterback coach Jordan Palmer about this,

295
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: and he said, the greatest vance in Josh's game in

296
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: year four was his ability to stay mentally calm. Yeah,

297
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: knowing how tight the conference races and the need for

298
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo to get back on the winning track, and how

299
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: competitive Josh is, someone on this roster or this coaching

300
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: staff is going to need to take on the responsibility

301
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: of bringing Josh back. I know this is going to

302
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: sound all Pollyanna and Zen, but somebody's got to take

303
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: on the responsibility of bringing Josh back to his emotional

304
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: center when they begin to see him seeing red like

305
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,359
Speaker 1: he did yesterday. I don't know if that's Dorsey McDermott,

306
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: Joe Brady the quarterbacks coach, to Fon Diggs, Mitch Morrise,

307
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: but somebody has to be that voice that he listens

308
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: to so he can reset his emotional barometer because when

309
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: it's not in balance, he gets outside the margins, and

310
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: that's when there's trouble. Here's another thing too, Let's talk

311
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: about the the quarterback sneak coming out of your own

312
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: end zone there on their half, I mean, the balls

313
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: barely out of the end zone, and they ran the

314
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: play where we saw it. We complimented, Hey, it's a

315
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: great idea of bringing Gabe Davis in on motion and

316
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: having him push. Well, the problem is that's a play

317
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: they've seen on film. We've seen it. We saw it,

318
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: you know. Well, yeah, and so so is Minnesota. Minnesota

319
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: knows that's coming. They see Gabe Davis going motion, they

320
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: can see him come back and they say, well, okay,

321
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: there's there's the snap. It's a queue to snap. The

322
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: only chance they've got to stop a two hundred and

323
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: fifty pound quarterback with a guy pushing him, is if

324
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: they jumped the snap and doing that play in that moment,

325
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: is that it gives him a chance to jump the

326
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: snap because they think, okay, there is it. Would they

327
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: can time it up, you can. They saw it coming,

328
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: and Josh's gonna get it. I mean, if he just

329
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: picks the snap, if you can get the end, if

330
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: you can just get their exchange, you're gonna get it

331
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: one hundred times. But here's the thing. Here's the thing.

332
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: The only chance they've got us to jump and that

333
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: gives him the chance to do it at that point.

334
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: That and to me, I said, you can throw dartside

335
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: if they execute the play, they do it. Okay, I

336
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: get it. But Mitch Morris is sitting there with a guy.

337
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: They are jumping it and he can't even get the

338
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: ball up. But they're on the half yard line. They're

339
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: not even on the one steve. There's no right And

340
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: one hundred times out of a hundred, if my quarterbacks

341
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, even as good as he is at short yardage,

342
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: I am bootlegging that thing out to the edge, fake

343
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,239
Speaker 1: a fullback dive. I'm bootlegging out to the edge. Now

344
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: I've got Josh, a two hundred forty pound quarterback, one

345
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: on one with a lineback or a safety or a corner,

346
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: and I like him getting a yard there better than there. Yeah,

347
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: because you're not in the pie. You're not trying to

348
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: score there, You're not trying to get out. All you're

349
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: trying to do is get yourself some breathing room and

350
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the play, have the clock run.

351
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: That's it. I like in that place. And now, as

352
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: it turned out, obviously this works if they if they

353
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: make the exchange, he probably gets out of there and

354
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: they probably have more room, or maybe they don't, maybe

355
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: they have the exact same thing. But I'll tell you this,

356
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: at least the clock is running. So if you put

357
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: Josh in the shotgun motion some guys and do a

358
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: big power sweep to the right or the left, you

359
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: run the risk of somebody getting through and tackling him.

360
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: But in that case, Josh can throw the football away,

361
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: and the worst that happens is the clock stops. Now,

362
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: if that takes three or four seconds, there's less than

363
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: forty seconds on the play clock, and then really all

364
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: you gotta do is get one more playoff without taking

365
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: us Even if you take a safety, it's better than

366
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario. The absolute worst case scenario is

367
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: exactly what happened to the Bills on that quarterback sneak,

368
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: the absolute worst possible case scenario. And even then they

369
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: missed the extra point. I mean, are you telling me

370
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: Minnesota doesn't have a horseshoe in their nether regions? Yes,

371
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean they could not have gone better for them. Well,

372
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: and then they missed the extra point on the previous touchy,

373
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: on the previous touchdown on that town. So it's an

374
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: amazing transfer, you know, stuff that transpired. And you and

375
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: I were sitting there shaking our heads. We are People

376
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: are saying it's the best game of the year. I mean,

377
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. People couldn't get enough of it. And the

378
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: Bills once again are on the wrong side of it.

379
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: How sick of that? How sick of that are we?

380
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: I'm very sick. I'm tired of Bills lose, always on

381
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: the side, are always on the wrong side of it.

382
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: So excuse me that that's a it's a frustrating way

383
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: to lose a game, as they all are. And and

384
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: the thing about it is that's the way the Bills

385
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: lose games these days. They are really frustrating losses because

386
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: they're always very very close. I'm very often they're beating

387
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: themselves and it comes back to them. And I'll say

388
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: this too, I was thinking about this. We used to

389
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: have conversations when I played, and good teams do this.

390
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: Every team does it. The Bills to do it today.

391
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: You have these conversations about situations like this fourth and

392
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: eighteen comes up, and you show them clips of other

393
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: teams going through weird scenarios like the thirteen second game.

394
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: You show them clips of the fourth and eighteen play.

395
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: What should you have done? The quarterback sneak plays? You

396
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: show them and you talk about hypothetical situations about doing

397
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 1: something other than just playing hard at like not going

398
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: to play over, not gonna play down, not catching the

399
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: interception on a fourth and two from deep in their

400
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: own end. You don't catch the interception, you knock it

401
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: down because the ball is already at their end, right.

402
00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: So stuff like that game saving or game making plays

403
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: or game ending plays or weird in that moment, and

404
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: the Bills sometimes get have not had those conversations. I

405
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: guess no. I think they do all the time. I

406
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: mean every practice that coach mcderhott starts out here begins

407
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: with situational football. It's the craziest scenario. He throws his

408
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: offense and defense out there. Occasionally it's special teams too,

409
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: and he throws them out there and says, here's the situation.

410
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: We've got three plays, there's this much time on the clock.

411
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: This is the down and distance go and the defense

412
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: has to know what they're doing. Defense you got one timeout,

413
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: offense you have none. You got to know the rules,

414
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: you gotta know the situation. They do it every That's

415
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: how practice starts, right. He does that not to only

416
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: make sure that they are hyper aware of all the

417
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: different situations that could come up in the course of

418
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: a football game, but it's also to get them to

419
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: turn their brains on right at the start of practice.

420
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: You gotta have your brain on from start to finish

421
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: in a football game because that one play can be

422
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: the difference sometimes, and unfortunately it was for the Vikings. Yeah,

423
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: we want to know your biggest takeaways from yesterday's overtime loss.

424
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five fifty one eight eight five

425
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty the number to get on board,

426
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: have open lines for you, as we want to hear

427
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: from you when we are wide open here for the

428
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: first two hours of the show, so feel free to

429
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: chime in. We'll be happy to get you on if

430
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: you want an event, if you need us as therapists,

431
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: whatever the case were you you was talking about the

432
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: guys that were out. Edmonds was out of that lineup late.

433
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: I forgot about things changed. Was not in the lineup

434
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: for that game yesterday. The Vikings worked the middle of

435
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: the field a lot better in the passing game once

436
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: Edmonds left Tremaine in front of a tight I saw it.

437
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: Hockinson goes down the middle of the field and Train

438
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: had a bunch of pass breakups. But you think, and

439
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: they showed it on the broadcast. If for those of

440
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: you who are in the state, you might not have

441
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: been able to see this, But the broadcast showed from

442
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: behind the Minnesota offense on a play down the middle

443
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: of the field when Edmonds was on the tight end

444
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: coming across, and he absolutely obliterated the tight end. You

445
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: couldn't even see him. You couldn't throw the football to

446
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: the guy because Tremaine is so tall and he's got

447
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: such a reach. The guy tried to fit it in Tremaine,

448
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: it was it was a non starter. And you know,

449
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: when you lose then you lose him. Then the one

450
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: time he left his feet knocked the ball away on

451
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: a on a pass breakup as well, Tremaine, Edmunds was

452
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: having a great game and playing extremely well, and they

453
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: lost him to a groin injury, and that changed things

454
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, then you've got Dotson in there.

455
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: He's not as he's not as adept to that as

456
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: Tremaine is, and he ends up trailing the guy instead of,

457
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: you know, kind of being out in front. So um

458
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: that the injuries, particularly defensively changed that game to me

459
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: a lot, certainly in the secondary to begin with, and

460
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: then of course as the game we're on upfront without

461
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: Rousseau to rotate in, and then Edmund's coming out mid

462
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: game was because Edmonds is the voice. Guys walk into

463
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: that huddle, they get the call. He's a guy that's

464
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: speaking giving him the calls, and when that changes into

465
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: somebody else, it's like, oh my god, Okay, it's not

466
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: the same. It's not the same. That's yeah. The Bill's

467
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: defense I think has played extremely well, even in this

468
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: game yesterday, they played extremely well. You can say what

469
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: you want about you know, all that stuff. They played

470
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: really well in this game. Yeah, let's go to the

471
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: phones to see what you think. At eight fifty two,

472
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: five fifty the number to get on board, we go

473
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: to Luke in Ontario to lead us off today. What

474
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: do you got for us? Luke here on one Bills Live. Hey, guys,

475
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: thanks for taking the call. I'm sure we all need

476
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: therapy after that game yesterday. I'm just actually going to

477
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 1: be very focused in what I'm going to talk about here,

478
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: And honestly, it just has to do with the coaching

479
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: decision when we were up twenty to seventeen and we

480
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: decided not to kick that field goal. That bothered me

481
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: because there's certainly I've watched enough football and Mary football

482
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: is crazy. So many things happened, there are crazy catches,

483
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: and that's why we all love the sport. But up

484
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: until that point, the defense was playing very well, Like

485
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: I mean, like especially since half of them are out

486
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: and you got rookies trying to make a name for themselves.

487
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: Like really, they only really allowed if you think about it,

488
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: ten points, Like I know, they were down seventeen, but

489
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: that that big run by Cook, I mean, that happens,

490
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, but if you if you take that off,

491
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: they did a great job holding and if you just

492
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: kicked the field goal, you're up thirty to seventeen. I

493
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: understand it's not two scores, but we're not playing the

494
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs like we're not. We're not like we're

495
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 1: I'm not that worried with Minnesota the way the defense

496
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: has been playing. If we go up thirty seventeen, and

497
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: then what happens is, you know, Alan, he tries to

498
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: make something happen, and football's football. But then what was

499
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: even more nerve wrecking was watching it on TV. You

500
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: see Allen on the ground, they go to commercial, So

501
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: me and my freaks are my friends are talking. We're like,

502
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: oh my god, no, Alan's injured. And fortunately that wasn't

503
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: the case, but that that changed everything in the game

504
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: when you just could have kicked the field goal, went

505
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: up thirty seventeen and continue and maybe they come back,

506
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: maybe they don't. But if they kick the field goal,

507
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm not bothered. Like and if they get the touchdown,

508
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, cool. But to me, that wasn't necessary

509
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: and that that's coaching like, and I don't care Fountay

510
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: isn't going forward as the coach. I'm expecting McDermott to

511
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: be like Alan, no off, we're gonna take the points

512
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: here and we're gonna rest it on her defense because

513
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: I'm happy the way that they're playing. I don't know

514
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: hear your guys thoughts on I'm not gonna talk about

515
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: anything else, like, it's just a cluster f of a lot,

516
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: and it is what it is. Those games are going

517
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: to happen, but changed everything. Sure, thanks, Luke. I'm assuming

518
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: you're talking about after it was twenty seven seventeen, the

519
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: drive that came after the Cook long touchdown run. So

520
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: it's twenty seven seventeen, it's the start of the fourth quarter,

521
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: Bills get down. That's the famous second and two, third

522
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: and two, fourth and two that everybody's talking about. They

523
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 1: elect to go for it on fourth and two at

524
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: the seven, and that's when Josh throws the pick that

525
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: gets returned thirty nine yards out to the Minnesota thirty

526
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: four by Patrick Peterson. I'll try to crawl into the

527
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: head of the coaching staff here for you. You're playing

528
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: the worst Red zone defense in football. Your first two

529
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: times down there, you walk the football in with Devin

530
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: Singletary without so much as him getting touched, especially on

531
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: the second one. So you're down there again, and I

532
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: have to believe that the win probability bodles are being

533
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: relayed to coach McDermott down on the sideline from the

534
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: booth and they're telling him it's fourth and two from

535
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: the seven. The win probability model says, if we score

536
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown here, we have a ninety four percent chance

537
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: of winning the football game. Because if you do put

538
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: it in there now it's thirty four to seventeen, you're up.

539
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: It's a three score game where a field goal obviously

540
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: only makes it a thirteen point game. So there is

541
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: there is risk reward there that they had to assess.

542
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: They made the choice that they did and Josh had

543
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: not turn the ball over in the red zone yet. Right,

544
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: here's the thing as well, Yeah you're putting the hand.

545
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: It looks different after what you said after they started

546
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: to play worse after that point the Bills did, and

547
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: you can say it changed everything. Well, listen, before that,

548
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: you gotta think, listen, we got a fourth and two

549
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: second and two third and two, fourth and two, and

550
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna put the ball in the hands of the

551
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: best play on the field for either team, and we're

552
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: gonna take our chances to get a two yard game,

553
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: plus the statistics whatever you want to do. You really

554
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: think they're gonna stop you for two yards three plays

555
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: in a row when you're gonna average over seven yards

556
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: per offensive play on the game on the day. The

557
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: problem is they threw it all three times, that's right,

558
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: and that comes up and then that that's where the

559
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: short yardage issues rear the ruggly head. Why can't you

560
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: get two yards on three plays? It's a problem. And

561
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: the thing that that stupefies me is, you know, coach

562
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: Cromer came in here and at least from what we understand,

563
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: he's kind of an expert in a in a bunch

564
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: of different run schemes, but including the wide zone. You

565
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: have two lightning fast running backs in Niheem Hines and

566
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: James Cook who can get to the edge make people

567
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: miss in space. So why the wide zone run game

568
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: wasn't something they turned to at any point? It mystifies me.

569
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: It does um, I don't might not be It might

570
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: not and we can talk about this is we're going

571
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: down a rabbit hole here about why this, why that?

572
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: But it may not be the running backs that are

573
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: keeping them from doing that. Oh yeah, I'm not saying

574
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: it is. Um and you know, Chromer has a great

575
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: background in that and they and they can do that.

576
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: But they may have they may got to have the

577
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: running backs to do it. They may not have the

578
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: offensive line or the guard or whatever. There may be

579
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: some other reason why they don't want to do that.

580
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: But you're right right now, I think you're kind of

581
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: searching for answers in your run game and they're having

582
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: a hard time finding them, especially in the short yard

583
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: syste Yeah, certainly. Now. They came out and played extremely

584
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: well in the first half. I mean, Devin Singletary was

585
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: making guys miss. They were you know, slashing and um

586
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: the Viking defense he runs in for two scores on

587
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: the ground, which is absolutely which is incredible because it's hard.

588
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to run in the red zone. When you

589
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: can run in the red zone, that's when you're red

590
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: defense stinks. And that's exactly what it looked like. According

591
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: to form, the Vikings are not a good red zone defense.

592
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: Team and the Bills ran right through them to do it.

593
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden they couldn't. What happened? Yeah,

594
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: and the Vikings run defense in the red zone is

595
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: one of the worst in football. Also, they were given

596
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: up almost three point eight yards per carry, which I

597
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: know doesn't sound like a fat number, but in the

598
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: red zone it is big. It's a yard over the

599
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: league average of two point eight six. Right, So they're

600
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: not good down there stopping the run. And you still

601
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: can't run, well, you choose, you don't even choose to run, right,

602
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's what looked different to me. And I

603
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, that's where you got to say, Okay,

604
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: what's going on? And we don't have the answer. You

605
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: run two in with Devin Singletary in the first half

606
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: and you get down there again on a you know,

607
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: like it's been said, second and two, third and two,

608
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: fourth and two and they don't do it. That's that's

609
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: what's you know, you had a question, and they probably

610
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: have some solid answers for it. We'll have to see

611
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: what they what they come if if they're asked that

612
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: in the media messessions this week break time for us here,

613
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: But we got to get to your phone calls when

614
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: we return, so we'll do that on the other side

615
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: of the break. George in a car, Debbie and Rochester,

616
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: hang tight, We'll get to you when we return. Here

617
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,479
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health, it's Buffalo

618
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, here we are One Bills Live

619
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: on a Buffalo Football Monday, hashing out the thirty three

620
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: to thirty overtime loss at the hands of the resourceful

621
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:49,479
Speaker 1: and crunch time excelling Vikings. They've won seven consecutive games

622
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: by a score or less, and yesterday was another one.

623
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: They play their best when the game is on the line.

624
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: They don't play best start to finish. I don't know.

625
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I get it. They impressed people. People

626
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: think it's a thing. And when we've all been talking

627
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: about there's like five things that had to go right

628
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: for them, for them all in that game, they all

629
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: did not all of them had to do with the Vikings. Now,

630
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: I just don't buy it. Well, the law of averages

631
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: and the way this league works suggests that their luck

632
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: is going to run out at some point. You can't

633
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: you're I mean, seven weeks in a row is an

634
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: uncanny run of this kind of football players still winning games,

635
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: but people in Minnesota would tell you we're owed this

636
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: because if you remember, I can't remember, it was last

637
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: season of the season before they lost six or seven

638
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: one score games. I get it. Two on the last

639
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: play of the game, the Bills are all. Everybody's all

640
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: over the Bills because there's all their losses are like that.

641
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: All their losses are close games, so they can't win

642
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: the close ones. They were saying the same thing about

643
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: the let alone the fact they beat you know, Baltimore

644
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: like that, and they beat somebody else like that this

645
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: season two in a close game, like you know, it's

646
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: a thing. Yeah, okay, no, okay, it's not a thing.

647
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: The game is online, it doesn't These guys don't fold.

648
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: And certainly you can look at Josh and say, hey,

649
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: he kind of explodes, and listen, this is the same

650
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: guy that threw the touchdown to Dawson Knox. It's the

651
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: same guy that threw the touchdown to h Steph Diggs

652
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: three years ago when on the hail Murray that costs

653
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: him the game. It's the you know, it's the same

654
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: guy who makes these throws at the end of games

655
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: that are pretty darn good. In the thirteenth second, he

656
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: throws to Gabe Davis, same guy. So everything else that happens,

657
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: you can say, well, it's listen, it's play hard. You

658
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: take what comes. A guy makes a spectacular play, gives

659
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: you a chance to win, and then the rest of

660
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: the stuff happens that makes you win or the other

661
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: team does something that allows you to win. It's it's

662
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,479
Speaker 1: absolutely statistical. It's gonna even out, just like they're saying

663
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: that it's even and out. You just you win those.

664
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: It's a coin flip. You know what happens if the

665
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: Bills win a coin flip for a change. They've only

666
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: won one this season out of nine games, so it's

667
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: prevented that. Steph Diggs mentioned that yesterday after the game.

668
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: It's prevented them from double dipping. The reason teams when

669
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: they win the coin toss choose to defer is because

670
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: the way the game usually unfolds, a team that wins

671
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: the coin toss and defers usually as the ball at

672
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: the end of the half, and then they also get

673
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: the ball to start the second half because they defered

674
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: at the beginning. And that's what's called a double dip

675
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: two straight possessions, where if you score on those two possessions,

676
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: more often than not, you game change lead on the scoreboard,

677
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: and you change the course of the game. That's why

678
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: they do that. The Bills haven't been able to do

679
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: out of nine games, or the Bill's gonna win eight

680
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: coin tosses in a row coming up, maybe, who knows

681
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: could happen, But you can't. Yeah, that's not that's a

682
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: thing that is out of their control. Well, and I'll

683
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: say this. One time they did win the coin toss,

684
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: they chose to receive because they were worried about the

685
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: weather in Baltimore. Right, So they haven't put their defense

686
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: on the field to start a game at all this season.

687
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: There you go. I mean, is it the is it

688
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: the difference and why they've won and lost games? No,

689
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: but it's a small tam it is it's it's the

690
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: point is I don't buy this. They're really good in

691
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: close games. They could be comfortable in close games, or

692
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: at least be used to it. Nobody's really comfortable there. Yeah,

693
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: but you got to be used to it. That's it, right,

694
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 1: I mean not let's go back to the phones. Let's

695
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: hear it let's hear it from you. We go to

696
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: George in a car next, what do you got for his? George?

697
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: You're on one bills live. Hey, good afternoon, gentlemen. Just

698
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: driving back. It was my daughter's first Bills game. Oh boy,

699
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: sorry to hear it. Well, listen, she met mental ron

700
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: So that was cool, all right, Okay, Anyways, there was

701
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: actual it was obvious. There was situational football issues. There

702
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: was penalties, There was mistakes made. Now I'm putting you

703
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: guys as Sean McDermott, you're the coach this week, do

704
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: you start getting in their faces, start raising your voice

705
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: a little bit, or you just pat him on the

706
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: back and say better luck next time. Well, you don't

707
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: do You don't do either one of those necessarily. What

708
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: you do is you lead. You know you you you

709
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 1: act like a leader. And that's what Sean's really good at. Um.

710
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: He's gonna put the loss into perspective, take make these

711
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: guys see their mistakes that take accountability for him and

712
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: gets and try and get better, learn from it, and

713
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: then think about how it's gonna help us going forward.

714
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: That's you know, he's gonna lead him. He's not gonna

715
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: it's not this or that or that, or it's gonna

716
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna take these guys, rally him up and help

717
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: him get better. Um. So it's he's not gonna rub

718
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: their tummy and tell him everything's okay. He's gonna say, listen,

719
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: we did this well, but we didn't do this well.

720
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: Let's get better from it. So it's not that easy.

721
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: It's not just like you know, he's not gonna it's

722
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: two sides of the same coin. I mean, he's gonna

723
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: do what he's always doing. He's gonna lead him and

724
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna get back to it and they're

725
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: gonna trust their process and try and do what they

726
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: do better than they did it moments this last weekend.

727
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: So that's what he's gonna do. He's gonna lead. Yeah,

728
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: I got nothing to add to that because that's what

729
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: he does. Um, they trust the process, they get back

730
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: to work, and he's gonna look and he's gonna have

731
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: his coaching staff too. And here's the thing that people

732
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: don't get too. So a guy like Sean McDermott, he's

733
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: got guys on his staff like Leslie Frazier and maybe

734
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of Ken Dorsey. We don't know that

735
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: much about him, but they're guys on that staff. They're gonna, hey, Sean,

736
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: in this situation, we should have done this. They're they're

737
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna look at themselves and say, I should have been

738
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: better here, I could have been better there. And the

739
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: staff holds itself accountable, even the head coach, Brandon Bean,

740
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:16,479
Speaker 1: all those guys. So there's that dynamic as well at work.

741
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: So they they're all in it together and they're gonna

742
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: move forward trying to get better every step of the way.

743
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones into Debbie and Rochester.

744
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: What do you got first to have a year on

745
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Hey a fellas, I love your show. Um.

746
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and make this as a sinct

747
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: as possible, but hear me out, please. Okay. I am

748
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: older than both of you. I've been watching football with

749
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: my dad. We've passed away since the early seventies. Okay, okay, Um,

750
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: yesterday was one of the top ten, probably top five,

751
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:55,479
Speaker 1: one of the most egregious defeats than I've ever seen.

752
00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: And I have been at either the horrendous sleep wor

753
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: say whatever you want, either I've watched them or I've

754
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: been there. Okay. I had a nice conversation with the producer, Evan.

755
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: Does Sean McDermott call the fourth down place and let

756
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: me continue. There's something very wrong. What's going on. We

757
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. The run defense is atrocious.

758
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: This pass rush, forget that. I know. I feel a

759
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: lot of injuries in the secondary. There's something going on

760
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. I don't know if it's he's a

761
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: head case, a physical case, an emotional case. Some of

762
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: the coaching decisions yesterday were very questionable, very poor. I

763
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: agree with they have no faith in the running game.

764
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: When it's third and one, I mean, it's it was

765
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: beyond atrocious. You have to be more even handed than

766
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: us sitting here at home. I feel you've been very

767
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: calm today the rest of us. By myself, you have

768
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: decided forget MVP, forget home field advantage, forget talk of

769
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. I know you're not supposed to be

770
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: two up or two down, but the last three weeks,

771
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: starting with the second half of the Packers game, there's

772
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: something going on with this team. We don't know if

773
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: it's physical. They bought into their press, but I'm telling

774
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: you I think I know what I'm talking about, because

775
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: again I've been I've been there, done that season tickets

776
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: twenty five years. I think I'm a pretty astute football

777
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: observer and there's something going on here. And I'm telling

778
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: you I stopped drinking the kool aid. If you can

779
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: answer who made that fourth down call when it was

780
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, on the goal line. Look, yeah, I mean

781
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: we appreciate it. Phone call. We're up against it here.

782
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break. When we come back, we'll

783
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: address your concerns and wrote them down. I've done them all. Yeah,

784
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: and take more phone calls. U next here on one

785
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, Stay tuned. Thanks Debby. All right, so let's

786
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: let's address the concerns of our last caller, Steve Debbie

787
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: from Rochester. Right, So, why don't you begin, and I'll

788
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 1: chime in where necessary. We go. Evan, First, you want

789
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: to know if Sean McDermott called the fourth down play,

790
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: he decides whether to go for it or not. Ken

791
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: Dorsey would have called that play. Um, she doesn't like

792
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: our pass rush. They got four sacks yesterday. I thought

793
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: the pass rush was actually pretty good. And don't forget

794
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: they were getting the Vikings in third and long consistently.

795
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: Yesterday they were actually playing extremely well on first and

796
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: second down, and on third down they were maddeningly ineffective.

797
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 1: And I would respectively, respectfully disagree that the run defense

798
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: was awful. They gave up one big play. Yes, that's

799
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: not good. You never want to see that. Those happen

800
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: in this league. And because there's pretty good running backs

801
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: in this and the young players on the field took

802
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: bad angles and are the ones who were victimized by that,

803
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: So that Lewis and Christian bend and just for statistical purposes, yes,

804
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, the Vikings averaged five

805
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: point nine to carry one hundred and forty seven yards

806
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: on twenty five And I know people hate when you

807
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: do this, but prior to the eighty one yard carry,

808
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: Cook had like six carries for fifteen yards. Yeah, it

809
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: was they had bottled him up for the majority of

810
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: the game. Anytime you lose a game of this nature,

811
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 1: the coaching decisions are going to be under the microscope

812
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: and you can say what you want. Second, second and two,

813
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: third and two, fourth and two is the one that

814
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: everybody's focusing on. They threw it three straight times, and

815
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: it did show a lack of faith in the running game.

816
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: As Debbie mentioned, um or tactically, they thought that's what

817
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: the defense was gonna be more susceptible to what. Will

818
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: never know unless we asked the the coaching staff about that. Now.

819
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: She also said, forget the MVP, which for the time being, yep,

820
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: that's probably true. Forget home field advantage. Not quite yet,

821
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, okay, you're you're running the margin for error

822
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: is reduced, and forget the Super Bowl. Listen, all that

823
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: stuff is still out here. You got nine games. You

824
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: got nine games, you got eight games. You got the Browns, Lions, Patriots, Jets, Dolphins, Bears,

825
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: and then you got Bengals Patriots to finish up the season.

826
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: This gotta win your division game. I'll say this. You

827
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: gotta win this week. You got this game against Cleveland,

828
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 1: then you go away away to Detroit and to New England. Yeah,

829
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: you better put a string of victories together starting with

830
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: this one. This week, the Browns come in at three three,

831
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: excuse me, three and six. You better start stringing him together. Absolutely,

832
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: no question about it's time. It's go time. The season is.

833
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: You were seven and six last year, though, folks, and

834
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: he were, and you strung it together. It's not out

835
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: of the realm of possibility. But she's right nine and

836
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: a half point favorites for this week's game. She's right.

837
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: Though there does seem to be something with Josh up.

838
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: He was off his rocker yesterday a little bit. He

839
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: was so angry at the end of that game after

840
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: fumbling that ball away and that snap and you know,

841
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: throwing the interceptions the like he did. He should have

842
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: taken it hard, no question about it. M But he's

843
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: still the best player on the field, and he is.

844
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 1: But too much of the coaching staff. The coaching staff

845
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: somehow has to find a way to convince Josh that

846
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to all be on him. But when

847
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: he sees the running game struggling all of a sudden,

848
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: their inability to score in the second half, he puts

849
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: more of the burden on himself. And that's when he

850
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: makes foolish to here's the thing, and I'll say this too.

851
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: A guy like Steph could talk to him, like Dawson

852
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: Knox could walk up to him and talk to him

853
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: like this and say, listen, bro, it's it's not about you.

854
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: It's not just you give us a chance to help you.

855
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: It's disrespectful to your teammates to think you're gonna do

856
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 1: this all by yourself. They're out there too. Give him

857
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: a chance to help. That's that's kind of the mindset

858
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: I would the rationale I would go to Josh, would say, listen, Josh,

859
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to do this all by yourself. I

860
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: know you were mad and all that. Hey spread it around.

861
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: Take that's what you were doing earlier in the year

862
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: and we were, we were rolling people. So just spread

863
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: it around. Get back to what we did, what your

864
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 1: mentality was early in the season when you were hanging

865
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: you know, when you were hanging Titans thirty eight on

866
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Just get back to, you know, spreading it

867
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: around and doing what you do. Um, that'll come from

868
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: a teammate, maybe a coach, maybe Ken Dorsey has that

869
00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: conversation with him. But man, he was he was in

870
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: a state. Yeah, he was angry Josh. Yesterday. He was

871
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: angry John. We didn't see that too much. We haven't

872
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: seen that too much. And he's angry at himself because

873
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: he's because he's turning the football over. Oh yeah, but

874
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: that's because he's trying to do too much because he

875
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: doesn't see anybody else stepping up to the plate, whether

876
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: it's a play call or calling more run plays. And look,

877
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend to know how many of

878
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: those plays were our pos yesterday where Josh has to

879
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: make the ultimate decision to throw the ball. Maybe that

880
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: is some of the some of what's at work here.

881
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: But I'd like to see Hines and Cook be a

882
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: bigger part of the run game because I think he

883
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 1: can get more traction in the run game if you

884
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: do that. But let's go back to the phones and

885
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: to John and Florida, who's been waiting patiently. What do

886
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: you go first? John? Hey, Well, first thing I want

887
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: to say is to Steve because back in from nineteen

888
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: eighty three to nineteen eighty eight, I worked for the

889
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: Bills and Stadium Operations and after work every day we'd

890
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: go or what's the Big Tree? Have a beer and

891
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: soft tackle, and every wants in a while. Steve and

892
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 1: John Kidd would come in and hang out with us peons,

893
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to say hi to Steve. Okay, thanks, John, appreciated.

894
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: Back to the game on the Quarterback Sneak, where they

895
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: use how Minnesota jumped to snap. I'm not sure how

896
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: that works. When Davis comes in motion. I'm guessing they

897
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: probably snapped the ball about the time he gets yea

898
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: even with the guard. I think the motion helped them

899
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: time up the snap. Why, No, that's my point. Yeah,

900
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm agreeing with you say. Normally they would snap the

901
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: ball when when Gabe gets about even with the guard, right,

902
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing on that. Well, I mean they've they

903
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 1: had run it and it was on tape, and if

904
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings do their tape study, they know that play

905
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: is coming and they can time it up as soon

906
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: as that. As soon as Davis gets behind Josh, the

907
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: snaps and jumped the snap, and they did it. They

908
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: timed it up perfectly. And not only did they did

909
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: they stop alan they got a fumble on the play

910
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: and recovered it. So, as Steve said, the worst possible

911
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: thing that could have happened happened. Yeah. Well, first pascenario

912
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: Kennell was trying to meet. What if they had a

913
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: little wrinkle to it where Gabe's coming off and is

914
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: coming in, So they're going to jump the snap when

915
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: Gabe gets up behind him Josh, Yeah, I mean, I mean, yeah,

916
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:33,959
Speaker 1: they shouldn't. They could have done with a hard count.

917
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: They could have had Gabe hesitating sixteen seconds on the

918
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: play clock when you snapped the ball right and there

919
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: was a lot of time on the play clock. You

920
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: could have done a ton of and every anything you

921
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: would have done other than what they did would have

922
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 1: been better. Absolutely anything you would have done would have

923
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: turned out better. Even if you take a safety there,

924
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: you're better off because they've only they got less than

925
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: a minute of game time for you to punt it

926
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: away and then get back into field goal range to

927
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: win it. Um. It's just, you know, anything would have

928
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 1: been better than what happened is the absolute catastrophic, worst

929
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: thing that could possibly have happened, and it comes down

930
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: to a simple center quarterback exchange that they couldn't execute.

931
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: So you're telling me Minnesota deserves credit for that, I

932
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. So you can say that

933
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: they're really good in close games, Okay, fine, what about that.

934
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: That's not on Minnesota. The bigger story is the Bills

935
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: once again beat themselves with poor execution and in a

936
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 1: myriad of other things. That's that's what happens. Yeah, it

937
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: was poor execution. The player said as much. And when

938
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: you're when you're telling the play calls ideal every step

939
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: of the way. Probably not, but ever is execution or

940
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: a lack thereof Care's the thing, and it games like

941
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: it never is perfect and both and you think that

942
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: if things go wrong for the Vikings and that happens,

943
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: that they're not looking at themselves going, man, I can't

944
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: believe we didn't do this. I mean, that's just one.

945
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: You know, there's like fifteen of those plays for them

946
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: that all gets washed away for them today, you know.

947
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: So it's just this stuff about you know, can't But

948
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: it's always multiple things and games like that. It's always

949
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: multiple things one after the other that have to go

950
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: one way or the other for the for you to

951
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: lose a game like that, and for the Bills in

952
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: their losses because they you can't get away from them

953
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard because their defense is that good. It

954
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: always seems like that's so it becomes a thing because

955
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: the Bills can't do it. But in actuality, it's both

956
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 1: teams contributing on both the positive and the negative for themselves.

957
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's just you can't get caught up

958
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: in this well as a thing that the Bills can't

959
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: win a close game. No, it's not a thing. It's

960
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: the way, that's the way the game is. They're a

961
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: really good football team today year. Yeah, they're they're really

962
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: they're really good football team, very difficult to beat. When

963
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: they lose, it's a close game, and it's usually because

964
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: they're shooting themselves in the foot and it's because they

965
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: make a mistake and they didn't get mister. So the

966
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 1: Vikings would have been saying the same thing. Break time here,

967
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls. Next on One Bill's Live

968
00:53:16,080 --> 00:54:03,439
Speaker 1: presented by Klaida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. These One

969
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Come by a Health. Here we

970
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: are our number two on a Buffalo Football Monday. Chris Brown,

971
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, thirty three thirty A loss in

972
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: over time, painful one to be sure, But we're here

973
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 1: to kind of serve as therapists, counselors, whatever you need.

974
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: We're here for you to try to explain the pain away.

975
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: On a blue Monday. As the Bills are now six

976
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 1: and three, third place of the AFC East and sixth

977
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 1: in the AFC Conference, races back to the phones, we

978
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: go and to Rick in Rochester. Next, Rick, what do

979
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: you got for us? Year? On one Bills Live. We

980
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 1: have one comment and two questions for you. I think

981
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: to help Josh out, it would be better if Ken

982
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: Dorsey came out on the field and called the place

983
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: from the field, so in between possessions he could talk

984
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 1: to Josh, look him in the eye and see how

985
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:03,879
Speaker 1: he's acting. That's my comment. And my two questions are,

986
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 1: I'm sixty eight years old. I figure I'm gonna live

987
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: another twenty years. What do you think my chances of

988
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 1: the Bills winning the Super Bowl during that period time frame?

989
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: And my third question is have you ever had or

990
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: have you ever thought of having? Paul McGwire is a

991
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 1: guest on your show. I listen, Okay, thanks, Rick, appreciate

992
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: the call. I am not miss Cleo, and I don't

993
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: think Steve will claim to be either. So to assess

994
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl odds over the next twenty years, I

995
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: would like to think they get one. Yeah, I mean yeah,

996
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: me too. I have said it a bunch. They've been

997
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: good enough three years to win it, to win it,

998
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: but as we all know, there's like a gazillion things

999
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: you got to follow your way that are out of

1000
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: your control that give you the chance to do it.

1001
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 1: So you gotta be a little lucky too. Yeah. So

1002
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 1: as long as they're this good, yeah, we've got a chance,

1003
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: and I would. Yeah, it won't take all twenty to

1004
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: get there. Uh Rick. The other one, Paul m. Paul's

1005
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: a friend of mine. I've known him for thirty five years. Probably,

1006
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. We could probably get him on. I

1007
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: don't know if he's still doing appearances or whatever. He

1008
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: if we called him and wanted him to have him on,

1009
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 1: Paul would come on the show with us, no question

1010
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: about it. I don't even know if he's watching the

1011
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: bills these days. He probably is, though, um, but yes,

1012
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 1: Paul McGuire is certainly a candid to be on the

1013
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: guest on the show, and if we called him, he

1014
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: would probably acquiesce and come on for us. But I

1015
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,240
Speaker 1: don't know that he's still doing appearances. And then ask

1016
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: for the Kendorsy thing. I don't know if there's enough

1017
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: value in that. He experimented with calling plays upstairs and

1018
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: down on the sideline through the course of the preseason.

1019
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: He chose to do it upstairs. He believes he sees

1020
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: the field better, can call plays more effectively that way,

1021
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: and he can talk to Josh on the phone, So

1022
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: all the communication he needs to have with Josh between series,

1023
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: he can do that. Um. And if you need somebody

1024
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: to look him in the eye and get a real

1025
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: assessment as to what he Josh looks like, Joe Brady

1026
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, Joe Brady can do that. And I and

1027
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 1: I this is a new offensive side of the ball

1028
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: with with Ken Dorsey moving up and taking the offensive

1029
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: coordinators and Joe Brady coming up and take the scheme's

1030
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: all the same, The words are all the same, and

1031
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: different guy called in the plays, no question about it.

1032
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: But you're right, um, some of the stuff like the

1033
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: instead of the xs and os and the and you

1034
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: know what, down and distance and all that stuff. Somebody,

1035
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: um has always got Josh's ear. And it could be

1036
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: case Keenum in some situations as well, some of his

1037
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: teammates say, hey, Matt bro take a breath, you know, um,

1038
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: But that's hard to do in the in the moment

1039
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: of the game. And sometimes I don't know how Josh

1040
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 1: is on the sideline. He seems like he's got it together,

1041
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: but sometimes they they don't want to hear it right,

1042
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: But there is something to that. I mean, I think

1043
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: the coaching staff has to find a way to convince

1044
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,919
Speaker 1: Josh that it doesn't have to all be on him.

1045
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: And I'll go back to last season. When did Josh

1046
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: look like the most unstoppable version of Josh? When was

1047
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: that Steve? It was down the stretch last season, down

1048
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: the stretch when he tossed, he said he was really calm,

1049
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: He felt like he was just It was the last

1050
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: six weeks of the regular season last year and into

1051
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs, when the Bills had a legitimate and potent

1052
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: run game to compliment the passing game. Not a run

1053
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: game that carried the offense, but they had the second

1054
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: most rushing yards in the league in the final month

1055
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: of the season last year, and it was instrumental in

1056
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: lifting this offense to unprecedented heights. And there were some

1057
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: stretches of inconsistent execution in the passing game in the

1058
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: final month of the season, and the running game was

1059
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: able to step up to the plate and help fill

1060
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: the void. They can't do that right now, And you know,

1061
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: not surprised when their run game found traction down the

1062
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: stretch last season. Their red zone touchdown efficiency also improved

1063
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: over their last four games of the regular season last

1064
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: year when they had their run game in gear. They

1065
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: scored touchdowns on fifteen of their last twenty one red

1066
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: zone possessions to end the season. They have to find

1067
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the run game has to be a juggernaut,

1068
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: but they gotta find some bread and butter plays in

1069
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,439
Speaker 1: the run game that removes some of the burden that's

1070
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: on Allen right now, because clearly he's feeling he has

1071
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: to make every single play. Think about this. They were

1072
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: up twenty four ten in the first half, and they

1073
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: were running the ball really well. That's like forty eight

1074
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: to twenty. That's what you're looking at there for two halves,

1075
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: I mean, and then when the either the Vikings adjusted

1076
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:53,400
Speaker 1: or the Bills decided not to or whatever for whatever reason. Yeah,

1077
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: but if they adjust, you got to counteradjust. The reasons

1078
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: are that's why you give up a seventeen point lead

1079
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: in the second half. I mean, you're up two touchdowns

1080
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: in the first and it all goes away. That has

1081
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: something to do with it. When you don't run the ball.

1082
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: That has something to do with it. Let's go back

1083
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: to the phones and to Richard and Bradford. What you

1084
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: got for us? Richard, you're on one bills live all right, gentlemen,

1085
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. I enjoyed the show. A

1086
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: couple of things. First of all, there's parody in the

1087
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: NFL that Bose could easily be nine and oh or

1088
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: they could be four and five. So I think we

1089
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: need to take heed or advice of that great football

1090
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: philosopher Aaron Rodgers and relax. There's eight more games coming.

1091
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: They could very well still make it to the Super Bowl.

1092
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: That being said, there were mental mistakes in yesterday's games,

1093
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: some of which were crucial, such as not batting the

1094
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: ball down on fourth down play. But there's a philosophical

1095
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: problem that I have, and I'm both the offense and

1096
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: the defense. Defensively, they seem to be stubborn and not

1097
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: getting out of their four two five, especially on third down.

1098
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: They didn't go man the man on Jefferson, and I

1099
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: thought that was a mistake. And in addition, offensively, as

1100
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: you've mentioned, on the run, and this is a very

1101
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: important part of their problem, I believe they get away

1102
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,479
Speaker 1: from the run. They ran it well in the first half,

1103
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: but in the second half after Cook's touchdown, they only

1104
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: had two run plays called the rest of the game,

1105
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: according to a major networks box stats, other than Josh

1106
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: Allen's runs. I don't know if that occurred because Singletary's

1107
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: fumbled that they were just kind of putting him in

1108
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: the dock house, so to speak, and not going to

1109
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: give him the ball again. But they need to consistently

1110
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: run the all as they did in the first half.

1111
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 1: It choose up time when they're in the lead, it

1112
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 1: takes pressure off of Allen, and it allows the defense

1113
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,479
Speaker 1: to rest. So I'm going to hang up and listen

1114
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: to you guys. I enjoy you the show, and let's

1115
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: go Bills. All right, thanks for the call, Richard, appreciate it. Yeah,

1116
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I mean I can count the runs for you. After

1117
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: the Dalvin Cook touchdown that went eighty one yards the

1118
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: other way. They come out on the next series, Singletary

1119
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: first and ten, no game, and then James Cook on

1120
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 1: a second and ten later in that series because they

1121
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: converted a third and sixteen to stay on the field.

1122
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: Second and ten, Cook got seven yards to set up

1123
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,880
Speaker 1: a third and three and the drive continued. But as

1124
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: we all know, it ended up for an interception in

1125
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: the end zone on fourth and two from the seven,

1126
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 1: So after that, I'm looking at the next series. No

1127
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: runs there. It was basically a three and out with

1128
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: a penalty in there on digs for a false start.

1129
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: Next series, Josh fumbled it on the one yard line,

1130
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: so that would be accurate. There were two run plays

1131
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: on the last one, two two possessions essentially because they

1132
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: only had two more possessions after the cook eighty one

1133
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. So I mean, when you realize that

1134
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: and the fact that one of the possessions were the

1135
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: three and out, it's not terribly shocking that they only

1136
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 1: had two run plays after that, right, just to put

1137
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: it in content perspective, Yeah, well there was Yeah, Well

1138
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: Josh fumbled on the one that was a run play

1139
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: called quarterback sneak they couldn't execute, so that's technically the

1140
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: third one. And then they got to overtime and it

1141
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: was just Josh running all over the yard because he

1142
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: was angry and you know, wanted to prove it. So yeah,

1143
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean the forty one second drive, he passes it

1144
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: to Knox for twelve, Knox for eight, Davis for twenty,

1145
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 1: Mackenzie for fifteen incomplete kick, the field goal, go to overtime,

1146
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: and then Josh is running around with it. So yeah,

1147
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty much what you were looking at. Three

1148
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: possessions after the Dalvin Cook eighty one yard touchdown in

1149
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: regulation and they only ran at twice, so probably about

1150
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen plays. And he said, you know, there's the

1151
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: Bills are stubborn about getting out of their nickel defense

1152
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: and they are very that gives teams problems as as

1153
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: much as you we think, mam, it'd be great to

1154
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: put a bigger dude in there and stop the run better.

1155
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: That's a I think the Bills have a philosophy they

1156
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: like and are getting a lot of traction with it. There.

1157
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: They got the number one one of the maybe not now,

1158
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, but they got number one,

1159
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: number one defense in the league or they're abouts. They're

1160
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: not going to change that because of you know, fourth

1161
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: and eighteen conversion kind of thing, and you know they're

1162
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: they're not going man. Nobody's going man to man on

1163
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. And when they did, they got a touchdown

1164
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: on it, the first touchdown of the game. Nobody Jackson

1165
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: got caught in a man coverage call, which was I

1166
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 1: don't think it was a man coverage call. Initially, Hamlin's

1167
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: on that side of the field with Dane Jackson, and

1168
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: if they go man to man, they got help and

1169
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: Jefferson's there. But the problem is the Vikings schemed it

1170
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: where they brought theeland over in motion and he comes

1171
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: over to the right side of the formation, and the

1172
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: Bills had a miscommunication pre snap and they didn't get

1173
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: the coverage set up on that side of the field,

1174
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: so Hamlin's forced to drop down to cover theeling and

1175
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 1: then right as the snap is happening, somebody's trying to

1176
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: chase him off of covering feeling because they got him,

1177
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,880
Speaker 1: but they got there late, and so now there's space

1178
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: behind Jackson for Jefferson to exploit because Hamlin come comes

1179
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: down into the box to cover theeeling in the slot

1180
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: and it's now one on one Jefferson and Jackson. Jefferson

1181
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: wins touchdown. So it's a well schemed thing and a

1182
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: miscommunication on defense that leads to a man to man

1183
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: coverage inadvertently for Jackson and he's beat for a touchdown.

1184
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: After that, you're probably not calling man coverage all that much.

1185
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: Because you got Dan Jackson and a rookie and Christian Benford.

1186
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: You want to go man to man all day on Jefferson,

1187
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose. Yeah. They they may have given a

1188
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: man coverage, but they also had a help over the top.

1189
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: They were a double team and justin Jefferson every chance

1190
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: they could. But because of a pre snap miscommunication and

1191
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: a good scheme with a guy in motion coming in

1192
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: the slot, the Bills weren't ready at the snap. Hamlin

1193
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: comes down to try to cover theeling, leaves the void

1194
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: behind him, and Jackson's exploited by Jefferson in the end zone.

1195
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate, but that's what happened. He got a lot

1196
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: of youth back there. Now, there's a lot of people,

1197
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that in six and three is

1198
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: where you kind of thought they were gonna be, or

1199
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: thereabouts maybe seven and two. I know people don't want

1200
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: to rationalize that though, but you didn't think the Jets,

1201
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,439
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and the Patriots are all gonna have winning

1202
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 1: records all at the same time as well, All five

1203
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: of them are in the playoffs. All four teams in

1204
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: the division are in the playoffs right now. If it

1205
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:20,680
Speaker 1: ended today, all four teams, well, yeah, which the two seed,

1206
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: it's the five seed, the sixth seed, in the seven seed, right,

1207
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: that's the whole division would be in. The whole division

1208
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: is in the playoffs right now, and Buffalo would be

1209
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 1: going to Miami. Nobody called that. Nobody called it, and

1210
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: we'll see how it finishes. It may not, it's probably

1211
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 1: not going to finish that way, but it's pretty interesting

1212
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,439
Speaker 1: that that's where it's it's right now. Actually, Buffalo would

1213
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: be going to Tennessee. Yeah, so that's you know who

1214
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: also won again yesterday. Yeah, I mean, it's a it

1215
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: is a We knew that conference was tough, and yesterday

1216
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,919
Speaker 1: before the game, the Bills were at the top of it. Yep.

1217
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: And and it's gonna change again multiple times between now

1218
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: and the end of the season. A lot of these

1219
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: teams are gonna be flip flopping spots, and which is

1220
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 1: great for fan interest because it's gonna be a topsy

1221
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: turvy run to the finish here with eight games to play,

1222
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of games to play. A

1223
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: lot is going to change between now and early January.

1224
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones into Dave and Niagara Falls.

1225
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: What do you got for his? David all One Bills

1226
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,640
Speaker 1: Live Thanks to load me. On the show, I was

1227
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: the saying Buffalo. You know, I've been rooting for Buffalo

1228
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 1: a long time. They've beaten all of the division leaders

1229
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 1: in AFC, so they got the tiebreaker all over all,

1230
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm except Kansas City's got one less loss and we

1231
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: got the three division games left at home and one away,

1232
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, I think they're playing. You know,

1233
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 1: they're in good to shape as they could possibly be.

1234
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this is an NFL. Every team's pretty close,

1235
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 1: you know. And she's like a confidence in the quarterback,

1236
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: and I think we're in good shape. Absolutely, we're in

1237
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: good shape. It's it's tough to see. It's tough to

1238
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: get the way the game ended yesterday out of your

1239
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 1: head and take a step back and remember how this

1240
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 1: football team really is. They are good. Nobody wants to

1241
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: come to this building and play this team, despite the

1242
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 1: fact that the Minnesota Vikings eked out of here with

1243
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: a win. You're right, and we all want everything to

1244
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: go perfect and we don't want anybody to make mistakes.

1245
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: And my point about particularly in this show today is

1246
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: that you take. You take the reverse result yesterday. If

1247
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 1: the Vikings don't get a fumbled snap on a quarterback

1248
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: sneak and the Bills win that game, all this stuff

1249
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: is getting washed away. For the Buffalo Bills. That would

1250
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 1: still be there and the Vikings would be Everybody would say, yes,

1251
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: we thought they were a fraud, and they are, but

1252
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: they'd be seven and two, sitting there at the top

1253
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 1: of their division with a four game lead. They ain't

1254
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 1: going anywhere. It's yeah, we always overreact to games like this,

1255
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: and we tend to look in between the lines and

1256
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:05,560
Speaker 1: try and insert, you know, this fundamental problem that the

1257
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 1: Bills might have. It. Listen, they're really good, They're hard

1258
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: to beat. They're gonna win a ton of games this

1259
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: year and going forward. And as their quarterback played through

1260
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of an injury yesterday and I'm really

1261
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: interested to see how that went and how he feels.

1262
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: But going forward, the Bills, I'm I'm expecting to come

1263
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: in and play extremely well against Cleveland Browns this week

1264
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: and beat him as as most Bills fans are, despite

1265
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: I just think being angry at ye, I would say

1266
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:36,560
Speaker 1: the most troubling thing for Bills fans is they have

1267
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: to They feel after these last two games that no

1268
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: lead is safe. They're up on the Jets by eleven,

1269
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: they lose by three, They're up on the Vikings by

1270
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 1: seventeen in the late with a minute to go in

1271
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,560
Speaker 1: the third quarter, and they can't close it out. So

1272
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 1: I think that is the ultimate concern for Bills fans,

1273
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: because yeah, it's great, the offense is high powered, they

1274
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: can score points, but they can't close out games and

1275
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: preserve leads. And that's what I think, that's what terrifies

1276
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Bills fans. Right now, let's go back to the phones

1277
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: and we go to Tim in Buffalo. Wait, got for us? Tim?

1278
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: You're on one Bills Live. Hey guys, thanks for taking

1279
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 1: the call. Sure, really just got two things. One, I'm

1280
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 1: not seeing any designed plays once they get down in

1281
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: the red zone. It looks like a lot of panic

1282
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: in just kind of the play call. Seems like it's

1283
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:31,719
Speaker 1: coming in and saying score. Yeah. I would respectfully disagree

1284
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: with that. I mean, you can't even look at the

1285
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 1: last play of the game. It's the design of the

1286
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,839
Speaker 1: play is double posts. So you've got two post patterns,

1287
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: one underneath, one over the top and then Devin Singletary

1288
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: coming out in the flat is the safety valve in

1289
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: the backfield. So Josh is reading half the field there,

1290
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: and he's got the underneath post, the deep post that's

1291
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: read one, read two, and then the check down to

1292
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 1: Singletary is read three. That's a design play. It's just

1293
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: a bad decision and an even worse throw. Um. That's

1294
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: not helter skelter, it's it's designed. I mean, these guys

1295
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 1: spent eighteen hours a day design in plays and then

1296
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: rep him in practice to call him in a game.

1297
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: There's designs down there, Tim, trust me on that? What else?

1298
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 1: What else? Tim? Tim? Tim anted to go, we're getting

1299
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 1: up against the break and we got more people to

1300
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:19,760
Speaker 1: get to. Um, there are design plays down there. Trust me.

1301
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 1: These guys work way too hard and way too long

1302
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: to just send guys out there in the red zone

1303
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,680
Speaker 1: and say go score. It's yeah. And even on that

1304
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: last play that Josh drew the pick, he tried to

1305
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:31,479
Speaker 1: fit it in. I don't know that he didn't get

1306
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:33,560
Speaker 1: enough on that ball needed to be up near the

1307
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: It was a it was a short I was short,

1308
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: he short armed, and it didn't get there to where

1309
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: he we needed to throw it to make that any

1310
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 1: hitched and it was late. He should have could have

1311
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: would have could have taken Devin Singletary who was there.

1312
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 1: There were a couple of linebackers out there, but Devin

1313
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: would have caught that ball and been up the field

1314
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: inside the fifteen for sure at least five, so they

1315
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: would have. Yeah, they would have had another shot at it.

1316
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: But you know this is all hindsight now. So yeah,

1317
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: to the phones where we got callers waiting, We go

1318
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: to Marie and Amhurst. We got first Marie. Hey, guys,

1319
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: so I appreciate Vin Miller more today for saying that

1320
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:13,200
Speaker 1: he never let the laws beat you twice. I hear

1321
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people saying that Josh or something's wrong.

1322
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: He's playing angry. Our play calling is predictable. Of course

1323
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:24,799
Speaker 1: he's playing angry. He doesn't have Dabo back there anymore,

1324
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, to be his pretty much everything. You know,

1325
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 1: he did an interview about Davo. Want praise to him

1326
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: very highly, but he's not coming back through that door.

1327
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: So he got to figure that part out. And then

1328
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: as far as the play calling being predictable, I mean,

1329
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 1: nobody can stop us but us so and I'm not

1330
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: too worried about us. Not everybody scared about Super Bowl

1331
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: wasting a year and stuff. But we saw the Giants

1332
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: who at nine and seven one year and they played

1333
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 1: the mighty Patriots beat them with Eli Jason, Pierre Paul,

1334
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: and Victor Cruis. But we got Josh von Miller and

1335
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs. I like that tandem better. And the last

1336
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to say is that I think we

1337
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: said look into bringing in Frank Wright as a quarterback

1338
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: coach because Josh does meet somebody with some experience, some

1339
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,679
Speaker 1: serious experience. Plus he's a Super Bowl chimp with the egos,

1340
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: and I think he could do a lot for Josh

1341
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: and his confidence. And we're amazing. I'm not paying again.

1342
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: We are amazing, and I'm never going to doubt us.

1343
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:33,680
Speaker 1: Like gold Bills, you know, thank You're right. I mean

1344
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: that's it is really true. If you think the Bills

1345
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 1: are predictable, why are they the only team that can

1346
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: beat themselves? I mean they're I mean they're the only

1347
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: team one offense in the league. Yeah, even now after yesterday,

1348
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: they're they're crushing it offensively first and third down conversions.

1349
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 1: So you're right. I don't think I don't think Josh

1350
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: is looking back at Brian Dabole and at all. He's

1351
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 1: the guy that lobbied hard for Ken Dorsey to be

1352
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 1: given the offensive coordinator spot. So I think Josh is

1353
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: really is happy with it. I think he likes them.

1354
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: They got a great relationship. We haven't heard even a

1355
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 1: whisper about play selection or any of that. The only

1356
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: difference early in this season was that Josh wasn't going

1357
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 1: down the field as often as he did a year ago.

1358
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 1: But they were hanging lots of points on people and

1359
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 1: they still are. So I think you're right, Marie. I

1360
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,640
Speaker 1: think this is a team that's that's still gonna be

1361
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: tough to beat going forward. And they've still got all

1362
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,560
Speaker 1: this stuff going. And if they needed an added motivation

1363
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 1: to get it back on track and to put their

1364
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 1: foot on the gas, they've gotten it in the last

1365
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. We have to take a break here,

1366
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: but we'll get some more of your phone calls when

1367
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:42,639
Speaker 1: we come back. We also have to take a trip

1368
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: around the locker room. That's coming up next here on

1369
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo

1370
01:15:47,560 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. It's a Buffalo Football Monday. Chris Brown, Steve

1371
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: Tasker with you here on one Bill's Live and time

1372
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: for us to go around the Locker Room, presented by

1373
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: Connect Life, Your Blood and Organ Donor Network, and we

1374
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: begin with Stefon Diggs, who was pretty eloquent after the game,

1375
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: and he commented on the offensive struggles in the second half.

1376
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 1: We got to continue to play shark. I mean, I

1377
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: feel like we're coming out in the first half mind shark,

1378
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, getting after it, and then we somewhat hit

1379
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:30,680
Speaker 1: a little low and then kind of got to get

1380
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:32,640
Speaker 1: back in the groove, it seemed like. And then it

1381
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: seemed like when we got to get in the groove,

1382
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 1: it's always crunch time, and we always managed to kind

1383
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: of like figure it out and make a way. But

1384
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 1: it'll save us if we don't take that low. Don't

1385
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 1: take that little gas of there. So you know, Vonn

1386
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: always say don't blink, and I feel like we might

1387
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: be blinking a little bit, especially when we come out

1388
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. I'm saying we've lost every toss.

1389
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: So the ability to come out there on offense and

1390
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,719
Speaker 1: being able to play fast and man maybe even double

1391
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: dipp It's been lost a little bit. We got to

1392
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 1: work on our hayes and tell us a little bit,

1393
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 1: get a little bit of good luck. But we just

1394
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:05,680
Speaker 1: gotta continue to play, you know. I mean this game

1395
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: has his ebbs and flows along with the seasons. I mean,

1396
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: we can't ride a roller coaster, so check up. What

1397
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: do you make of him saying, you know, we may

1398
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 1: have may have blinked a little bit. What do you

1399
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 1: take from that? Yeah, yeah, there's something there. I mean,

1400
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he likes the mentality saw on the sidelines,

1401
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: That's what I would say. I think they when they

1402
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 1: got nicked, maybe offensively, when they're standing over there and

1403
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,639
Speaker 1: they fumble away a quarterback sneak, give up the lead

1404
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 1: and then give up a fourth and eighteen, they started

1405
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: looking around like what do we do? You know? I

1406
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 1: think I don't think he liked the mentality, the way

1407
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 1: they felt about themselves and during that game, and just

1408
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:52,680
Speaker 1: they were probably riding the same roller coaster bills fans were,

1409
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: and you can't do that as a player, right, So

1410
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 1: I think that's probably what he saw. He's over on

1411
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 1: the sidelines, think, you know, looking for some emotionless, some

1412
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: some courage and guys were like, down, he's he's almost

1413
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:11,679
Speaker 1: out to the numbers on the field when it's fourth

1414
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 1: and goal at the half yard line and the Vikings

1415
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: have the football and he's screaming at his defense like

1416
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: let's go, let's get the stop here. Yeah, and they did.

1417
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: They got it for him. Shack with a huge play

1418
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,680
Speaker 1: on fourth down, got that absolutely pulled him side. You

1419
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: couldn't get the push, but he got him down on

1420
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: the ground sideways, pulled him sideways along the goal line.

1421
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Cousins shoulders go down, and the replay one of the

1422
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: few that shows, yeah, you never see that stuff. He

1423
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 1: was short and that's you know, come on, that's heroic. Yeah,

1424
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: it's really that's a huge goal line stand with the

1425
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: game on the half yard line, like huge stand. That's

1426
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,200
Speaker 1: it was absolutely heroic. And it goes and they it

1427
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: gets washed away the next play. It goes for nothing.

1428
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,680
Speaker 1: And that's you know that you gotta live with that

1429
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 1: as a player, and you gotta you have being it

1430
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:04,639
Speaker 1: with your teammates and all adden. You know, that's that's

1431
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 1: really really rough. Yeah, as painful as it might be.

1432
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 1: We turned out to a dejected Josh Allen at the

1433
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 1: podium after the game who commented on his two red

1434
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 1: zone interceptions against the Vikings late in the game. First

1435
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 1: one's fourth down. No sense in taking a sacker throwing

1436
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 1: the ball away, give him some good chance. Those are

1437
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:32,839
Speaker 1: those are gonna happen. Second one, just bad ball. That decision,

1438
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: bad ball, bad decision. So he's right on both fronts.

1439
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: And as we've said in the past, you know, Josh

1440
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: is probably one of the most self aware of players

1441
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: I've ever been around. And he's not afraid to take

1442
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,759
Speaker 1: the heat. And he's just he's in a rough stretch

1443
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 1: right now. As we mentioned, six of his last eight

1444
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 1: turnovers have been in the red zone. People forget he

1445
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: had a fumble in the Kansas City thirteen yard line

1446
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: in week six. He had a red zone fumble down

1447
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: there in week six. People forget he threw an interception

1448
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: in the end zone to Levi Wallace in week five.

1449
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 1: Ye I mean this is this is persisted for about

1450
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: a month now. Yeah, and I he's got to get

1451
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 1: out of this funk. And I'm fast and I'll say

1452
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,719
Speaker 1: this too. This is a place where Ken Dorsey's gotta

1453
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 1: kind of flex a little bit. He's got to show

1454
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: why he is who he is why he paid his

1455
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 1: dues and became an offensive coordinator. You gotta get your

1456
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: guy through these spots. And so does the room around him.

1457
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 1: Case Keenan, Matt Barkley, Joe Brady, the whole crew, Sean

1458
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:36,639
Speaker 1: McDermott as well. The whole crew has to come together

1459
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: say listen, bro, you need to change it up here.

1460
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,680
Speaker 1: Um start getting into this mindset. And there there are

1461
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 1: people here in the building who are here for that

1462
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 1: very reason, and they'll they'll put all those guns, they'll

1463
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 1: bring all those uh resources to bear on Josh and

1464
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 1: what he's going through. And I'm not saying this is

1465
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:56,360
Speaker 1: like some sort of intervention they gotta have, right, but

1466
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 1: they gotta, you know, they gotta get in his ear,

1467
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: and on the in the film room, and on the coaching,

1468
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: on the field and practice coaches, players say hey, what

1469
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: you know? Yeah. So that's around the locker room, presented

1470
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 1: by Connect Life, your Blood and organ Donor Network. Let's

1471
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:12,679
Speaker 1: get back to the phones and we go to Fred

1472
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 1: in Rochester. Next, Fred, what do you got for us?

1473
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:16,800
Speaker 1: You're on one, Bill, Slow hold on, let me get

1474
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 1: you up here. There we go, Fred, Now we got you.

1475
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 1: What do you got for us. Hi, guys, great show

1476
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 1: as always, Steve, as always, you should be in the

1477
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:31,560
Speaker 1: all thing, no question about it. Maybe it's time and

1478
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm not jumping any conclusions here, and I don't think

1479
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 1: that there's any major thing that has to be done,

1480
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: but it might be time for a team only meeting.

1481
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:48,600
Speaker 1: Everybody together, no coaches, nothing like that. Get together, recalibrate

1482
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, reorganize. Nothing major. It's time for von

1483
01:21:54,479 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: Miller to step up. He's a Buffalo bill now. That

1484
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:00,680
Speaker 1: should be his main focus, and I hope it is.

1485
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is. Um Uh, it's trying to look

1486
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 1: in the mirror like you guys started to goal time.

1487
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,560
Speaker 1: But this is a start of a new season, this

1488
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:16,599
Speaker 1: this coming week. Everything else is immaterial. It doesn't matter. Um.

1489
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 1: You have to concentrate on what's going to happen from

1490
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 1: here on. I think they're still the best team in

1491
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,720
Speaker 1: the league. Josh as to we calibrate a little bit,

1492
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 1: and you're right, he does have to get some help

1493
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 1: from the people around him. But I think it might

1494
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: be time for a team only meeting. I'll wait and

1495
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: here you guys. Thanks Fred. It's interesting comment. I don't

1496
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: know if it is or not. I'm I've been a

1497
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 1: part of teams that needed those team only meetings. Yeah,

1498
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:51,479
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's I'm not. I don't want to belittle that.

1499
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 1: It was a tough loss yesterday to a good football team.

1500
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 1: They've had. They've lost two in a row to one

1501
01:22:57,800 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: to a really good football team and one to a

1502
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: team that's you know, the six and three as well,

1503
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:07,320
Speaker 1: and sitting at the sitting uh at the top of

1504
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 1: the division, actually a second in the vision. But they

1505
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: played their best game of the season against you. Uh,

1506
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:16,080
Speaker 1: it's not that dire. I don't want to be little.

1507
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: And let's say it's not earlier we wanted these guys

1508
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 1: to turn it up a notch. We don't want them

1509
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:21,639
Speaker 1: to turn it down. But I'm saying, listen, you gotta

1510
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 1: calm down. You don't. I had to. And when you

1511
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 1: have a player's only meeting, Yeah, that's a little that's

1512
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: a little much I think for this. Yeah that you

1513
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 1: got because these guys talk to each other all all day,

1514
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:36,640
Speaker 1: every day in the locker room, they're around each other

1515
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: all the time. The vibe will get We'll get said,

1516
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: and Vaughan can say that in the locker room as

1517
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 1: well as you can with anybody standing around, let alone,

1518
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:49,280
Speaker 1: no coaches, nobody else. So I get your I get

1519
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:54,679
Speaker 1: your point about resetting, recalibrating, and you know, getting it together.

1520
01:23:55,600 --> 01:24:00,200
Speaker 1: But they the team is built to do that old

1521
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: day every day, so I don't The players only stuff

1522
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: is usually for something kind of down a different line

1523
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: than this is right now. Yeah, let's go back to

1524
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 1: the phones and to April in Rochester. What do you

1525
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: got for us? April? Hey, guys, So a couple of things. One,

1526
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 1: why are we not utilizing Hines? I mean, we brought

1527
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: him in to help with our running game? He touched

1528
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 1: the ball once yesterday. Number Two, we signed Knox to

1529
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 1: a huge contract. What was he a target? Maybe twice yesterday,

1530
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. And then three, sorry, ask three questions,

1531
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,680
Speaker 1: three White, where is he? What's going on with him?

1532
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 1: Why are we not getting any answers? Yeah, good questions, April.

1533
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: Will do our best to answer him the best to

1534
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,680
Speaker 1: our knowledge at this point in time. First of all,

1535
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 1: Knox was targeted six times. He had four receptions for

1536
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:53,640
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards, so targeted a little bit more. In

1537
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 1: the passing game, he was the third most popular target

1538
01:24:56,200 --> 01:25:00,760
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen yesterday behind Digs and Davis. Hopefully that continue.

1539
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: That's kind of where you want him, I would think.

1540
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: As for niheim Hines, I agree with you one hundred

1541
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 1: and seventy thousand percent. You thought he was an asset

1542
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:14,720
Speaker 1: enough to trade for him, and you're using him on

1543
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: punt returns and I believe he got six snaps yesterday.

1544
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson, who's been on the practice squad all year,

1545
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 1: got five snaps on offense. To me, there is not

1546
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,720
Speaker 1: even a comparison there. Niheem Hines is a much more

1547
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: credible threat, either in the run game or in the

1548
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 1: pass game, and they should utilize him more to get

1549
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 1: you yards after the catch, to take some of the

1550
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:40,719
Speaker 1: burden off Josh by getting those yards on his own

1551
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:44,599
Speaker 1: on quick passes, whether you're talking about swings, bubble screens,

1552
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 1: traditional screens, whatever it is, get the ball in the

1553
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,679
Speaker 1: guy's hands who runs a four, three eight forty. Help

1554
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: your quarterback out. And then as for Tradevias White, Steve,

1555
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:59,839
Speaker 1: it's as puzzling to us as it is to you, April,

1556
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 1: because he is not on the injury report. He was

1557
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 1: activated three weeks ago, and I don't know who's making

1558
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 1: the determination that he's not ready yet. I don't know

1559
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 1: if it's Tradevious, I don't know if it's the coaching staff.

1560
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the medical staff. I don't

1561
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: think it's the medical staff, because the medical staff cleared

1562
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:21,759
Speaker 1: him to return to practice and he's been practicing fully

1563
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 1: for the better part of the last two weeks. So

1564
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't have an answer for you. I wish I did.

1565
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 1: I would trust that Sean McDermott has asked this question

1566
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:35,240
Speaker 1: today because Tradevius has been practicing fully, no limitations, and

1567
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 1: yet he is not playing on the field, and they

1568
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 1: could have used him yesterday kye Elam's out with an

1569
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,559
Speaker 1: ankle injury. You had to call up Xavier Roads from

1570
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 1: the practice squad as an emergency guy in case you

1571
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 1: needed him. That it's a valid question. Where is Tredevious? Yeah,

1572
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 1: obviously he's not ready either himself. He himself or who's

1573
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,720
Speaker 1: making that call? Still a couple. Well, I'm there's more

1574
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 1: than one voice. I mean Tredavius has the final say,

1575
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 1: but I'm sure there's more than one voice. I mean

1576
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: Davis has the final say of whether he's fit to play,

1577
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,880
Speaker 1: whether he does or not. That's Sean McDermott's call. We're

1578
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 1: two weeks away from a calendar year, by the way

1579
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:22,559
Speaker 1: that he suffered the injury. Um, I'm not I'm neither

1580
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: here nor there on Tredavious White. Um, he'll play when

1581
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 1: he's ready. It's hard, and I feel for him because

1582
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,400
Speaker 1: I I have never gone an ACL but I've had

1583
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:36,639
Speaker 1: five knee operations. Oh yeah, I mean, look and there

1584
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 1: it's hard man. So I'm I'm not down on him

1585
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 1: at all or like it just it takes time. It

1586
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 1: takes time. Well, I'm curious or than anything else, how

1587
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 1: the decision is being made every week, Like who's who's

1588
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 1: got the final say as to whether he is fit

1589
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: to take the field or not? Because he's fit to

1590
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 1: practice and he's not limited in practice, So who is

1591
01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 1: making that call that I'm curious. I'm not questioning anything.

1592
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm just curious who's making that decision each week? Yeah, yeah,

1593
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't none of us. Yeah, none of us know.

1594
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 1: And I don't really care who's making the decision the

1595
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,360
Speaker 1: decisions know for the time being, and whether it's him

1596
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 1: or Sean McDermott or some doctor or a therapist or

1597
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 1: rehab specialists. I just think the thing, he's not ready

1598
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: and he's not playing for a reason until he is okay.

1599
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,360
Speaker 1: I just think fans are frustrated because they see him

1600
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:31,040
Speaker 1: practicing and they wonder why is he not playing? Because

1601
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: I think they would all agree that they're a better

1602
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 1: defense with him on the field, and I think every

1603
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 1: coach would agree to that, every fan would agree to

1604
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,640
Speaker 1: say that. But they're a better defense with him on

1605
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 1: the field. Well, right, But again, he's not on the

1606
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:49,200
Speaker 1: injury report. That's I think that's what makes it so puzzling,

1607
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Here's the thing, and I've

1608
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 1: said it, I'll I've said it before on the show.

1609
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 1: He may be on his knee may be rock solid

1610
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:04,640
Speaker 1: like it was before the injury, and it may not be.

1611
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 1: You know, it may not be any more susceptible to

1612
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 1: it re injury than the other knee than the knee

1613
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: that it has not been injured. But the fact of

1614
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 1: the matter is it ain't right. It's never going to

1615
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 1: be the same knee, and that takes time to get

1616
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:23,519
Speaker 1: used to. And until you can play without thinking about

1617
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 1: it or favoring it or playing differently than you would

1618
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:31,200
Speaker 1: if it was healthy, you're not the same guy, and

1619
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 1: that's got to be in that consideration where we're talking

1620
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 1: about him. So we'll see, we'll see, but I'm with you,

1621
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:40,920
Speaker 1: it is close. And I'm sure that because he's out

1622
01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 1: there practicing that they're telling him that knee is good.

1623
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 1: If you're gonna do it, you can use it. And

1624
01:29:46,200 --> 01:29:50,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean pointed out astutely so that, hey, look, Javius

1625
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:52,639
Speaker 1: is back practicing, but he'd never had a training camp,

1626
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:55,879
Speaker 1: he didn't have a ramp up to regular season football,

1627
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:57,920
Speaker 1: and he hasn't played in almost a calendar. I totally

1628
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 1: respect all of that, but it's just very curious to me.

1629
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:05,479
Speaker 1: You know, we're three weeks in now, and training camps

1630
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,200
Speaker 1: about three three and a half weeks, So hopefully you

1631
01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:10,240
Speaker 1: know he's coming back sooner rather than later, because this

1632
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 1: injury riddled defense could really use the help. We take

1633
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:15,760
Speaker 1: a break. We take a break here, more of your

1634
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:17,720
Speaker 1: phone calls coming up next here on One Bill's Live,

1635
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:34,200
Speaker 1: presented by Collot of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

1636
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live, and it's time for

1637
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:43,800
Speaker 1: us Steve to go with the gift, the gift of

1638
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 1: the game. Steve Biggest gift presented by the New York

1639
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 1: Lottery has to be has to be the throw that

1640
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins made to Dane Jackson of throwing out to

1641
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:57,960
Speaker 1: his left after a play action fake and there was

1642
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:01,560
Speaker 1: absolutely it looks as though he caught him out of

1643
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 1: the corner of his eyes, saw a flash of pressure coming.

1644
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:08,679
Speaker 1: I'm just threw it to the guys and hate. Yeah,

1645
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:11,519
Speaker 1: that is the biggest jersey. He threw at the wrong jersey.

1646
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:14,600
Speaker 1: That's all the risk to it. That was an absolute

1647
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:17,920
Speaker 1: cupcake of a of an interception. Yeah, Benford had a

1648
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:20,040
Speaker 1: pick in the game also on an overthrow over the

1649
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:24,240
Speaker 1: middle from Cousins, so they did get two takeaways. Um,

1650
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, Shack's pressure was instrumental and Cousins throwing that

1651
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:33,679
Speaker 1: ball errantly right into the waiting arms of Dan Jackson.

1652
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 1: So that's that's the biggest your New York Lottery's biggest

1657
01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 1: I did a little homework in the last three games

1658
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:55,559
Speaker 1: in the second half, the Bills have all scored twelve points. Yeah.

1659
01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:57,479
Speaker 1: We mentioned they haven't scored a touchdown in the second

1660
01:31:57,520 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: half in the last three weeks. Yeah. I don't understand

1661
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 1: and why they are taking the foot off the puddle.

1662
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 1: In this league, we have to score forty points in

1663
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 1: order to win a game. Yeah. I don't think they're

1664
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,400
Speaker 1: trying not to score, Tim, I don't think they're trying

1665
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:14,640
Speaker 1: not to score. I think the problem is. The problem is,

1666
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:17,679
Speaker 1: for some reason they're in many of the instances, they're

1667
01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:21,599
Speaker 1: moving away from trying to run the football. If they

1668
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:23,639
Speaker 1: try to run the football early in the second half

1669
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:25,960
Speaker 1: and they don't have success, they seem to move away

1670
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 1: from it. And we ask coach McDermott about that last

1671
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 1: night after the game, and he said it is an

1672
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,760
Speaker 1: issue and something that he intends to take a deeper

1673
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:39,560
Speaker 1: dive into this week to try to ascertain why the

1674
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,320
Speaker 1: point scoring ability is drying up in the second half.

1675
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,280
Speaker 1: Steve alluded to it earlier in the show, saying, Hey,

1676
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 1: you know when you can't run the football, now you're

1677
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:51,479
Speaker 1: throwing the football more and you become more susceptible to

1678
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 1: having turnovers. That has reared its ugly head each of

1679
01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, and as we've already outlined, six

1680
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:02,400
Speaker 1: of Josh's last eight turnovers have come in the red zone.

1681
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:05,599
Speaker 1: Because you're throwing it more, because you're not running the football.

1682
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:08,040
Speaker 1: They've got to get some more traction in their run game,

1683
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 1: and as I pointed out earlier, when they had traction

1684
01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 1: in the run game last year, over the final six

1685
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:16,439
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, the offense was the most dangerous

1686
01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:18,599
Speaker 1: it was all season long, and Josh was the best

1687
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:21,519
Speaker 1: quarterback he was all season. I think too. One of

1688
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 1: the things that we're seeing here in this in this,

1689
01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, after the buy has been there, or Josh's

1690
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,400
Speaker 1: decisions not to take the easy completions, I think they're

1691
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:35,720
Speaker 1: still there. Sometimes they're still there, but Josh seems to

1692
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:37,200
Speaker 1: really be here on the last play of the game

1693
01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:39,800
Speaker 1: making an effort to get the ball down the field

1694
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:45,400
Speaker 1: and making some tough throws. Maybe they need to get

1695
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:47,880
Speaker 1: back to that. Now. We had had these conversations, remember

1696
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:49,880
Speaker 1: when they were kind of getting ridiculed everybody. They were

1697
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:53,799
Speaker 1: scoring thirty points a game, but and you know, winning games,

1698
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: but they were making this given us this line about

1699
01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 1: how the short pass game is a substitute for their

1700
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:03,280
Speaker 1: running game. They just you know, they just rather throw

1701
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:06,080
Speaker 1: the quick pass or whatever than rush was checking off down.

1702
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 1: At checking it down, they were much more effective. They

1703
01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 1: kind of stopped doing that, or they I say they,

1704
01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:14,800
Speaker 1: it means Josh kind of stopped doing that. Um, that's

1705
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 1: a possibility to come back as well if they can,

1706
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:18,559
Speaker 1: you know, get in Josh's ear and have him make

1707
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:21,479
Speaker 1: different decisions with the football. Certainly that you know, the

1708
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:25,680
Speaker 1: turnovers are crushers and Josh knows it, and he's got

1709
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 1: to stay self disciplined enough to believe it when the

1710
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 1: pressure's on. Yeah, he's been pressing. I don't think there's

1711
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 1: any question about it. The checkdowns have been there each

1712
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 1: of the last two weeks. He has bypassed those for

1713
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:42,840
Speaker 1: more difficult throws. Clearly he has confidence in his arm

1714
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 1: to stick it in a tight window. And we understand

1715
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:48,479
Speaker 1: why he's a super talented, uber talented superhero of a quarterback.

1716
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 1: But when the when the plays are there as layups,

1717
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:57,120
Speaker 1: take the layups because you're gonna stay on the field,

1718
01:34:57,720 --> 01:34:59,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna stay on schedule in terms of down and

1719
01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:03,160
Speaker 1: dis and that offers you more of the playbook to

1720
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:07,120
Speaker 1: take some of those deep shots on occasion. Deep shots

1721
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:12,520
Speaker 1: are not the way to winning football games. Being efficient

1722
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 1: and staying on the field for more plays affords you

1723
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:19,639
Speaker 1: the opportunity for those deep shots. So be the efficient

1724
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 1: offense that stays on the field longer and more of

1725
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 1: those big play opportunities will surface. We have to take

1726
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 1: a break here. When we come back. Bills Radio color

1727
01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:31,840
Speaker 1: analyst Eric Wood is going to join us to give

1728
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:35,679
Speaker 1: us his thoughts from the booth on yesterday's overtime loss.

1729
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 1: Next here on One Bills Live, presented by Kalada Health,

1730
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 1: it's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, we're back here on

1731
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:55,760
Speaker 1: a Buffalo football Monday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you

1732
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 1: One Bills Live the program. We go right back to

1733
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,880
Speaker 1: the phones and to Jessica in Rochester. What do you

1734
01:36:00,920 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 1: got for us? Jessica, So, I was going to ask

1735
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:06,360
Speaker 1: the question about my nine year olds home at the

1736
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 1: head cold, and he just wanted to instead give an

1737
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,920
Speaker 1: uplifting message to Josh if he's listening, go for it.

1738
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:19,479
Speaker 1: Um so um, I believe in Josh Um Gold Bills.

1739
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:24,760
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take that, no problem, appreciate it. Yeah,

1740
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,920
Speaker 1: take care appreciate the phone call. Um, I think everybody

1741
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:31,880
Speaker 1: believes in Josh. I think what they've seen is just frustrating,

1742
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:35,160
Speaker 1: that's all. And nobody's more frustrating than Josh is. I

1743
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 1: think that's pretty safe to say. You can just tell

1744
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 1: it by his demeanor, slamming his helmet down on the

1745
01:36:39,439 --> 01:36:42,040
Speaker 1: field at the end of the game. You don't want

1746
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:43,760
Speaker 1: to throw games away, and I think they felt like

1747
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:48,600
Speaker 1: they did yesterday. Well, that's it's a common theme with

1748
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:52,479
Speaker 1: all the losses they've suffered over with almost all, um say,

1749
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: maybe well less than three probably losses over the last

1750
01:36:56,280 --> 01:37:02,920
Speaker 1: six or three or four years. Um, they lose close

1751
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:05,160
Speaker 1: games with Josh. Josh has got them in the game

1752
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,880
Speaker 1: all the time now. And when you lose games, close

1753
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:10,519
Speaker 1: games like this, you go back and you pick out one, two, three,

1754
01:37:10,680 --> 01:37:12,519
Speaker 1: less than a handful of plays that were the difference

1755
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:14,960
Speaker 1: in this one. The Bills had two plays that were

1756
01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 1: game stoppers, game enders, exclamation points to the end of

1757
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:21,759
Speaker 1: a victory, and instead they turned it into a loss.

1758
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:25,639
Speaker 1: That's really frustrating for everybody, But that's how they lose games.

1759
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:28,679
Speaker 1: That's the only way they seemingly lose games this year

1760
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:32,720
Speaker 1: is by this this these frustrating one score games, and

1761
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: then it magnifies everything you did wrong. And in all

1762
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:41,040
Speaker 1: these games this year, particularly of those close ones that

1763
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:47,000
Speaker 1: they've had them like the Baltimore game. Um, let's see what.

1764
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 1: Let me get back and look at them. Well, they're

1765
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 1: two and three and one score games, okay, right, So

1766
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:55,519
Speaker 1: being the Chiefs beat the Chiefs beat the Ravens in

1767
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:58,080
Speaker 1: those games, you go back and there are the exact

1768
01:37:58,120 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 1: same things going on in those games, except they just

1769
01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 1: twitter the play went on in Buffalo, Josh stickson in

1770
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:04,760
Speaker 1: the end zone on dust and rocks, and they win

1771
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:06,559
Speaker 1: and beat the Chiefs twenty four to twenty. But then

1772
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 1: also they get the interception at the end of the game.

1773
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:13,040
Speaker 1: To see, right in Baltimore, same thing as a twenty

1774
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 1: three twenty win player in the end zone. You can

1775
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:21,000
Speaker 1: you can point to like all these things that go differently,

1776
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:23,679
Speaker 1: but all the bat they're in all both the wins

1777
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 1: and the little losses. That's my point. There are mistakes

1778
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:30,640
Speaker 1: in both wins and losses. The mistakes get magnified when

1779
01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:34,599
Speaker 1: you lose, they get forgotten about when you win. It's

1780
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:38,920
Speaker 1: the same team all of these they're a tough team

1781
01:38:39,360 --> 01:38:43,280
Speaker 1: to beat. Think about how fortunate and you can say

1782
01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:45,760
Speaker 1: they're a good team. They are. How fortunate Minnesota was

1783
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 1: in that game yesterday. How fortunate the Miami Dolphins were

1784
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:51,240
Speaker 1: in the game in Miami when it was nine thousand

1785
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:53,920
Speaker 1: degrees on the sidelines and they still almost beat them. Yeah,

1786
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:59,759
Speaker 1: how close those games are, and you know the mistakes

1787
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:02,160
Speaker 1: are there in both sides, but you forget about them

1788
01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:05,360
Speaker 1: when they win. Yeah, and so it's it's not I

1789
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,559
Speaker 1: don't think I'm not in that camp where they say

1790
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills have a DNA problem because they lose

1791
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:13,439
Speaker 1: close games, they can't win close games. I don't buy that,

1792
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:16,920
Speaker 1: not for a moment, not for a moment, because the

1793
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:21,160
Speaker 1: way they play, they don't get blown out. Ever every

1794
01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:23,160
Speaker 1: other team in the league does once in a while. Yeah,

1795
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,680
Speaker 1: let's get back to the phones and to Curtis and Rochester.

1796
01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 1: What do you got for a Curtis here on one

1797
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 1: Bill's live hold on, let me pull you up there

1798
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:33,760
Speaker 1: we go. Well, you got as Curtis. Hey, how y'all

1799
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:40,120
Speaker 1: doing good. I'm my observation of yesterday I've been listening

1800
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: to I was at the game, and you know, it's

1801
01:39:43,360 --> 01:39:46,880
Speaker 1: a like a roller coaster, and I felt like we

1802
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 1: had like three chances to win that game. That fourth

1803
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 1: and eighteam that justin Jefferson immaculously caught. That's peeweek football.

1804
01:39:57,320 --> 01:40:01,680
Speaker 1: Knock it down, that umble in the end zone. You

1805
01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 1: don't really practice that type of quarterback sneak at that

1806
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:07,960
Speaker 1: part of the field. It's not practice. I know you

1807
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:11,360
Speaker 1: say you're supposed to make that snap, but it's not practice.

1808
01:40:12,439 --> 01:40:16,519
Speaker 1: Minnesota had film on us, and at the end of

1809
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 1: the game, Josh's doc at the end of the day,

1810
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is gonna be Josh Allen outside of Jimp Kelly.

1811
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:31,240
Speaker 1: It's the best quarterback we've ever had. God Bills, all right, Curtis,

1812
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:34,040
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Yeah. And you know, it's funny.

1813
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:36,840
Speaker 1: When I was coming into work today, I was thinking,

1814
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, for Bills fans that have been around long enough,

1815
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:44,519
Speaker 1: if they can remember three interception Jim Kelly games, you know,

1816
01:40:44,840 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 1: remember three interception Jim Kelly quarters. I listen, he did.

1817
01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:55,560
Speaker 1: He threw three interceptions in the first quarter and we

1818
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:59,200
Speaker 1: and we've won. Yeah, So it's that kind of game

1819
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 1: you just oh no, he threw three interceptions the first

1820
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:05,080
Speaker 1: quarter on a Monday night game against Cincinnati in what

1821
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:11,920
Speaker 1: was then Rich Stadium and we beat him. Yeah, that

1822
01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:15,719
Speaker 1: stuff happens to everybody. And my point is it doesn't

1823
01:41:15,800 --> 01:41:18,200
Speaker 1: fundamentally change how good a team you are. You're a

1824
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 1: really good team. They're going to continue to be a

1825
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 1: really good team, and they're gonna win their share of games.

1826
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:27,280
Speaker 1: Teams have a hard time getting up on the Bills,

1827
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:30,320
Speaker 1: getting a lead on the Bills and extending it. They

1828
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:33,800
Speaker 1: just can't get it done. The last blowout loss the

1829
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:37,120
Speaker 1: Bills suffered was the Colts, the forty one to seven

1830
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:38,920
Speaker 1: game when the Colts came back after the Bills had

1831
01:41:38,920 --> 01:41:41,280
Speaker 1: put him out of the playoffs in twenty twenty five

1832
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:44,600
Speaker 1: touchdown Jonathan Jonathan Taylor came in and that team with

1833
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:47,400
Speaker 1: Frank as their head coach, they were on a mission

1834
01:41:47,479 --> 01:41:49,280
Speaker 1: that day, and that you get caught. I've been on that.

1835
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 1: I've been on both sides of that. Those games are

1836
01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 1: like you just can't stop it. There's just but they happen.

1837
01:41:56,400 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 1: But not to this team, not to this team. Now

1838
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 1: having that, I mean, Cleveland may come out and score

1839
01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:04,679
Speaker 1: fifty on them and beat them by phone by thirty.

1840
01:42:04,800 --> 01:42:07,760
Speaker 1: I doubt it, but you know, you never know. But

1841
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:11,960
Speaker 1: the simple fact that matters this fundamentally from top to bottom.

1842
01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 1: This team's a wrecking crew. They're a wagon man. This doesn't,

1843
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: this doesn't, This doesn't do anything to dissuade me from

1844
01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:23,360
Speaker 1: knowing that. But yeah, the health has been an issue

1845
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:25,160
Speaker 1: this year like it hasn't been in the last handful

1846
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:28,000
Speaker 1: of years. That's a that's a thing. That's a real thing,

1847
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:32,800
Speaker 1: as the turnovers and the turnovers are difference as well. Nevertheless,

1848
01:42:33,880 --> 01:42:36,760
Speaker 1: six and three and you're headed into the second half. Yeah, um, yeah,

1849
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: they're they're okay. Back to the phones and to Noah

1850
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:42,600
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, well you got for us, Noah, you're on

1851
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. Hey guys, thanks for taking the call. Um.

1852
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:48,519
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make a quick point. I don't

1853
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:51,680
Speaker 1: want to play the cascading one score loss game we

1854
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:53,880
Speaker 1: play where we can point to five hundred different things

1855
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 1: and say, oh, if this went one way, we would

1856
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:57,320
Speaker 1: have won. I want to look at more of a

1857
01:42:57,520 --> 01:42:59,800
Speaker 1: long term thing, and that I think. I want to

1858
01:42:59,840 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 1: make a bigger deal of Josh just taking his checkdowns.

1859
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:05,400
Speaker 1: I want to make a point. The last season, when

1860
01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:07,200
Speaker 1: the Bill started to get rolling towards the end of

1861
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:09,639
Speaker 1: the season, We can look to that Bills Patriots game

1862
01:43:10,080 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: when the Bills went into Foxborough, a game they needed

1863
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:14,720
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks after that crazy win game when

1864
01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:17,120
Speaker 1: they got embarrassed by the Patriots, and what did the

1865
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:19,280
Speaker 1: Bills do? They won comfortably after the game was thirty

1866
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:22,760
Speaker 1: thirty twenty one. Josh took his checkdowns. He played very well.

1867
01:43:22,800 --> 01:43:25,519
Speaker 1: And if you remember that game, the run game also

1868
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 1: was struggling, and what did they do. They adjusted, They

1869
01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 1: took those short passes, acted as the run game, and

1870
01:43:31,360 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 1: especially took those checkdowns singletary. I don't know if you

1871
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:37,840
Speaker 1: guys remember after that game, but multiple Patriots players came

1872
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 1: forward and mentioned that Josh played a really really controlled game.

1873
01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 1: He kept everything in front of him, and that is

1874
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:45,559
Speaker 1: where I think Josh plays best. That's where I think

1875
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:48,839
Speaker 1: why people look at him as like the superhero quarterback

1876
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:51,360
Speaker 1: up there with Mahomes. That's when these guys can be

1877
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 1: at their best, when they not only can take the

1878
01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:55,640
Speaker 1: deep shots, but then say, hey, I can dumb it

1879
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:58,640
Speaker 1: off the singletary and again that can act as your

1880
01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:00,720
Speaker 1: run game. And I know, and I know you know

1881
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:02,479
Speaker 1: it's struggled in the second half. It kind of hit

1882
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:04,599
Speaker 1: a wall. That's when that is the time to adjust.

1883
01:44:04,640 --> 01:44:06,800
Speaker 1: That's not the time to press. And it's in there.

1884
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 1: And listen, I don't think the devil to Dorsey thing

1885
01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:11,720
Speaker 1: is a huge deal and start making out to be

1886
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, overreaction. I think it's definitely in there. I

1887
01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:17,840
Speaker 1: think Dorsey knows. I knows that these out there. And

1888
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make a broader point about the

1889
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 1: checkdowns and that these types of games like they're in there,

1890
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 1: that they have done this before and it's no reason

1891
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:27,040
Speaker 1: to panic. Um just more of a longer term issue

1892
01:44:27,080 --> 01:44:29,679
Speaker 1: that again, if Josh keeps pressing the ball down the field,

1893
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 1: it's just going to be the result. And you know,

1894
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:33,400
Speaker 1: a good game to look at and learn on and

1895
01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 1: again just look forward the past. I mean, Josh has

1896
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 1: done this before. We've been in the same situation. Take

1897
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:41,240
Speaker 1: the checkdown, Josh, thank you. Yeah. And that's the thing

1898
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:44,479
Speaker 1: you have to believes. Here's the thing that I think

1899
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:49,400
Speaker 1: troubles Bills fans when they see the turnovers persisting. Monday.

1900
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:52,360
Speaker 1: The players come in, they review the film with their coaches,

1901
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:55,280
Speaker 1: they make their corrections, they look at the decisions they made,

1902
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: the good ones the bad ones, and try to learn

1903
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 1: from everything, and it it's hard for me to believe

1904
01:45:01,479 --> 01:45:04,599
Speaker 1: that Josh did not see the checkdowns he had opened

1905
01:45:04,600 --> 01:45:07,080
Speaker 1: to him in the Jets game last week. I mean,

1906
01:45:07,680 --> 01:45:10,120
Speaker 1: he had checkdowns in that game left, right, and center

1907
01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:13,040
Speaker 1: and bypassed them to push the ball down the field

1908
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:15,840
Speaker 1: and had turnovers in that game, including one in the

1909
01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:20,360
Speaker 1: red zone. And so now he comes out this past

1910
01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:22,519
Speaker 1: week and he does the same thing in the Vikings game,

1911
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:26,000
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, hold on a second. Josh is

1912
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:27,880
Speaker 1: a smart quarterback. We all know that. As a matter

1913
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:32,439
Speaker 1: of fact, I still think he's underrated with his football IQ.

1914
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:37,599
Speaker 1: But when you see it persist even after he's had

1915
01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity to look at his play when it wasn't good.

1916
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's coming off a season low passer rating

1917
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:45,639
Speaker 1: game against the Jets forty six point eight passer rating

1918
01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 1: and his record in season low passer rating games. The

1919
01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:52,280
Speaker 1: next week he was four and oh up until yesterday

1920
01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:55,879
Speaker 1: and lost because he committed some of the same mistakes

1921
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:58,080
Speaker 1: as the week before. I think that's what worries Pep.

1922
01:45:58,160 --> 01:46:01,639
Speaker 1: Do you think yesterday being different. Do you think Josh

1923
01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:04,160
Speaker 1: came out with his elbow and all that stuff, maybe

1924
01:46:04,280 --> 01:46:06,240
Speaker 1: thinking he had something to prove to everybody, like you

1925
01:46:06,439 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 1: push the ball down the field. Um No, because he

1926
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:12,439
Speaker 1: didn't uncork a sixty yard or at any point in

1927
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:14,120
Speaker 1: time if you think about it. I don't even think

1928
01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:17,519
Speaker 1: he threw a pass over thirty yards yesterday. No, the

1929
01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:20,640
Speaker 1: longest play from scrimmage was twenty five. And maybe there

1930
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:22,439
Speaker 1: was maybe there's something in there, maybe his elbow was

1931
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:24,280
Speaker 1: bothered and more than more of he's letting on more

1932
01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 1: than we're able to. Because you're right, he didn't try

1933
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:28,160
Speaker 1: a deep pass, all the more reason to check it

1934
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 1: down there, right, you know what I mean, they're open, right.

1935
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:33,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I'll say this too, he didn't target

1936
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:35,920
Speaker 1: Dawson knocks quite a bit more yesterday than he had

1937
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:41,800
Speaker 1: in the past. I thought it was you know, yeah,

1938
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:44,559
Speaker 1: I'm I was really happy with the way they got

1939
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:46,600
Speaker 1: the ball spread around, particularly in the first half. And

1940
01:46:48,479 --> 01:46:51,000
Speaker 1: but I think he's right. I mean, Noah just brings

1941
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:53,920
Speaker 1: it up. He says, Josh, can Josh just relax and

1942
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 1: play and when he relaxes, he'll play better. That's what

1943
01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:59,360
Speaker 1: I said earlier. I mean, he's so talented he can

1944
01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:02,720
Speaker 1: afford to let the game come to him. And if

1945
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 1: he just stays within that mental framework of compartmentalizing the

1946
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 1: highs and the lows and just staying in the middle

1947
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 1: and playing within the lines of that emotional center. He'll

1948
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:21,559
Speaker 1: make better decisions because he is that smart and that talented.

1949
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:24,600
Speaker 1: He's just got to find his way back there. And

1950
01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:26,760
Speaker 1: if a teammate can help him, please do, or if

1951
01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:29,599
Speaker 1: a coach can help him, please do. It's as simple

1952
01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:32,720
Speaker 1: as that. Let's get to the tweet sheet, which we

1953
01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:36,960
Speaker 1: haven't reached yet. Here today tweet sheet as always brought

1954

Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

1955

Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. And Jay leads us off

1956
01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 1: and says, biggest takeaway from yesterday how important Payer and

1957
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:48,640
Speaker 1: Edmunds are to this defense. They cover up a lot

1958
01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:51,880
Speaker 1: of mistakes. Why trade for Marlowe and not play him?

1959
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:55,519
Speaker 1: He knows the system. Josh also needs to start taking

1960
01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:58,240
Speaker 1: the check downs instead of forcing a downfield Mahomes dealt

1961
01:47:58,280 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 1: with his last year and adapted. Yeah, Payer and Edmonds

1962
01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 1: are critical. I don't think there's any question about that.

1963
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:05,400
Speaker 1: I think they got to hope you get one of

1964
01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:09,559
Speaker 1: them back, at least one of them. Edmonds now has

1965
01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:12,080
Speaker 1: a groin injury, which is what he left yesterday's game with.

1966
01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:16,439
Speaker 1: And as for Marlow not playing, I kind of got

1967
01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:18,920
Speaker 1: the sense that that wasn't gonna happen anytime soon. When

1968
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:22,840
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott last week, basically in reference to Marlow, said well,

1969
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:24,800
Speaker 1: we can't forget he's been away for two years. Some

1970
01:48:24,840 --> 01:48:27,479
Speaker 1: stuff has changed in our defense, and so that led

1971
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 1: me to believe, like, okay, he's got some learning to

1972
01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 1: do before he's going to really see the field. He

1973
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:33,280
Speaker 1: said also that you know, Marlow has been in two

1974
01:48:33,320 --> 01:48:35,560
Speaker 1: different systems between That's that's what I meant. That was

1975
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 1: the comment I was referring to. Yeah, yeah, if he

1976
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:42,720
Speaker 1: becomes the best option, you know he's gonna be in

1977
01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:45,080
Speaker 1: there because they got no problem switching guys out. They've

1978
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:46,680
Speaker 1: done it all. He just did it. Last week cam

1979
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:50,679
Speaker 1: Lewis played for Jaquan Johnson Patrick. On the tweet, Chet

1980
01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:53,240
Speaker 1: says biggest takeaway was cam Lewis not knocking down the

1981
01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:56,040
Speaker 1: fourth and eighteen where Jefferson made the amazing catch. If

1982
01:48:56,040 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 1: he knocked that ball down, we win. Josh wouldn't have

1983
01:48:58,160 --> 01:49:00,280
Speaker 1: a fumble on the goal line or the interception. Ot

1984
01:49:01,200 --> 01:49:04,160
Speaker 1: all right, fair, that's a good point because all those

1985
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:08,719
Speaker 1: games you talk about it never happen. You're taking a knee,

1986
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:12,840
Speaker 1: kneeling out clock and stuff Ed on the tweet sheet says,

1987
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:16,960
Speaker 1: twelve second half points total since the October sixteenth game

1988
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:21,800
Speaker 1: against Kansas City is very troublesome All Caps. It is troublesome,

1989
01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:25,759
Speaker 1: especially when you don't have a run game to shorten

1990
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:28,800
Speaker 1: the game and salt clock away. If you're not gonna

1991
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:32,439
Speaker 1: kill games early with a running game, yeah, you're gonna

1992
01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:34,200
Speaker 1: have to keep throwing it. You're gonna have to keep scoring,

1993
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:37,240
Speaker 1: and they haven't done that in the second half the

1994
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:40,000
Speaker 1: last couple the last three weeks. When you think about it,

1995
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 1: Jeremy on the tweet sheet says, my biggest takeaway is

1996
01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 1: wondering what's going on with Josh lately. I still believe

1997
01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:47,000
Speaker 1: he's QB one in the NFL, but some of the

1998
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:49,639
Speaker 1: decisions the last ten quarters of play have been really brutal.

1999
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:52,479
Speaker 1: Do we miss Cole Beasley that much? I think you

2000
01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:55,240
Speaker 1: miss Cole Beasley from this standpoint, Steve, when the run

2001
01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:58,680
Speaker 1: game's not working, he's your double for the run game.

2002
01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:00,759
Speaker 1: Third and four, third and three, that kind of stuff.

2003
01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:04,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that Cole Beasley is part of the

2004
01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:08,200
Speaker 1: problem or at all. I think there are options there.

2005
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 1: Josh needs to take him. Yeah, they're a checkdown guys

2006
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:15,880
Speaker 1: that are open, yes, yeah, so you know maybe I No,

2007
01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:20,320
Speaker 1: it's not Cole Beasley is not the issue. It's Josh

2008
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:23,000
Speaker 1: and you know, making the right decisions and taking it

2009
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 1: and just relaxing, getting rid of the football, and that

2010
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:28,240
Speaker 1: will solve a lot of the problems. I think there

2011
01:50:28,280 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 1: are guys open, and whether it's Cole Beasley, like who cares.

2012
01:50:34,160 --> 01:50:36,120
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the reasons Josh Dawson Knox

2013
01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:37,880
Speaker 1: had a better day yesterday. I think Josh was making

2014
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 1: an effort to look for him because he's been running

2015
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:42,800
Speaker 1: open at times in the past few weeks and or

2016
01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:45,800
Speaker 1: this past season, the season, the entire season, and he

2017
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:48,960
Speaker 1: just Josh just doesn't find him. I think Josh is

2018
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:52,200
Speaker 1: making a concerted effort to get guys included and get

2019
01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:54,200
Speaker 1: him in the offense. I think he kind of got

2020
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:57,040
Speaker 1: to back away from it late in that game yesterday.

2021
01:50:57,880 --> 01:51:00,720
Speaker 1: George says, maybe the Bills aren't that good. Question Mark,

2022
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:03,320
Speaker 1: don't look past Cleveland or Detroit. Miami's clearly the best

2023
01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 1: team in the division. Right now, ouch, all right, and

2024
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 1: one finally from Bill. The players are constantly making the

2025
01:51:10,160 --> 01:51:12,680
Speaker 1: same mistakes weekend and week out, most notably turnovers in

2026
01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 1: the red zone. Who is holding them accountable? Who's holding

2027
01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:18,280
Speaker 1: their feet to the fire. No, one leaving too many

2028
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:22,280
Speaker 1: points on the field. Something has to change. There is

2029
01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:25,600
Speaker 1: accountability in the building. You think nobody say anything to

2030
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 1: these guys. What are you? Yeah, that's what you spend

2031
01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:30,879
Speaker 1: all day Monday doing going over the film making corrections.

2032
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:32,680
Speaker 1: It's not just the coaches too, they do it to

2033
01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:35,400
Speaker 1: each other. They talk to each other about it. So yeah,

2034
01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:39,240
Speaker 1: they're Yeah. Break time for us here, Steve and I

2035
01:51:39,400 --> 01:51:41,360
Speaker 1: with one more segment to go, as we put a

2036
01:51:41,400 --> 01:51:43,640
Speaker 1: bow on this Buffalo football Monday. Next here on one

2037
01:51:43,680 --> 01:52:01,000
Speaker 1: Bill's Life Time Provision to Victory, presented I adwall eyecare

2038
01:52:01,120 --> 01:52:04,000
Speaker 1: the official eye care provider of the Buffalo Bills. As

2039
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:06,800
Speaker 1: we look ahead to the Browns, who lost a twenty

2040
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:10,679
Speaker 1: two point decision to the Dolphins down in Miami yesterday.

2041
01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:13,599
Speaker 1: I think the general consensus here, Steve, is to put

2042
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:17,280
Speaker 1: the game on Brissette, neutralize Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt

2043
01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:19,840
Speaker 1: to the point where Brissette has to carry them to

2044
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:22,759
Speaker 1: a win believing that you know, you got the horses

2045
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:25,720
Speaker 1: to slow him down. Yeah, I think that's exactly right.

2046
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:29,719
Speaker 1: Put the put the ball in the hands of their quarterback.

2047
01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:31,840
Speaker 1: You've got to find a way to do that. When

2048
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:34,599
Speaker 1: they've got a really good run game and you want

2049
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:37,519
Speaker 1: to stay in nickel defense, you gotta have an answer

2050
01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:39,200
Speaker 1: for that. That's going to be the real question. Can

2051
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:42,679
Speaker 1: the Bills stimy their run enough on first and second

2052
01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:46,200
Speaker 1: down or whenever they run the football enough to give

2053
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:49,479
Speaker 1: their their pass rush a chance to get after it

2054
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:52,679
Speaker 1: and see if their quarterback can hit hit the throws.

2055
01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 1: That's got to be it, though, job want to stop

2056
01:52:55,120 --> 01:52:57,600
Speaker 1: in their run game. Yeah. The one interesting thing that

2057
01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:01,759
Speaker 1: I noticed just in a cursory glance at the Browns,

2058
01:53:02,200 --> 01:53:04,960
Speaker 1: they've given up ninety two points in the fourth quarter

2059
01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:08,160
Speaker 1: this year, one of which a part of that total.

2060
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:11,479
Speaker 1: Remember they had they were up seventeen on the Jets.

2061
01:53:12,400 --> 01:53:15,040
Speaker 1: Jets came back with one fifty five left and beat him.

2062
01:53:15,600 --> 01:53:18,000
Speaker 1: So that was when the Joe Flacco stretch, wasn't it.

2063
01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:22,599
Speaker 1: It's possible. I can't remember for sure, but yeah, they

2064
01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:24,439
Speaker 1: beat him on the road one fifty five left. I

2065
01:53:24,520 --> 01:53:27,519
Speaker 1: think they were down fourteen thirteen fourteen points, came back

2066
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:30,040
Speaker 1: and won two minutes to go through. I'll take it

2067
01:53:30,120 --> 01:53:31,920
Speaker 1: if necessary here, as long as it means we get

2068
01:53:31,960 --> 01:53:34,400
Speaker 1: back on the winning track. That's it for Steve and

2069
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:39,519
Speaker 1: I today. We'll talk with Mike Robinson from NFL Network tomorrow.

2070
01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:42,200
Speaker 1: He was traveling today. We'll see at one pm on Tuesday.
