Steve and I also provide fresh content 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: on everything Bills and the NFL. Let's get start it 9 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: at a Steve taster who has been all all other fields. 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: in the stratosphere of normalcy, row Steve, Welcome the episode 13 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: one of One Bill's Light. You feel just lighter being 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: here right. I feel I need a snack. Oh okay, well, 15 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: we'll see if we can get a sponsor to help 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: us with that in future episodes when in doubt, get 17 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: a sponsor to help you. And we opened the program 18 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: with what we like to call the numbers game. Do 19 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: you have your tinfoil hat ready? I put that on 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: figuratively speaking, um, yes, so we know Steve that the 21 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys defense has been awful. Okay, they haven't been 22 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: able to stop Granny from crossing the street, let alone 23 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: some NFL team from scoring points. But you might ask Steve, 24 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: how bad are they? They're pretty bad. They've given up 25 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: two hundred and eighteen points this season, the most ever 26 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: by a team in its first six games in the 27 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: Super Bowl era. Thirty six point three points a game. 28 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: Good math, Steve, well done, I'm looking at it right 29 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: to calculate it right here. That's unbelievable. So that puts 30 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: him on pace to give up five hundred eighty one 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: points this season, which would be the most by a 32 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: team in NFL history. The question for you, Steve, do 33 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: they do you think they get that record? Do you 34 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: think they get to five eighty one and stay on 35 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: pace to break the record. Here's what I'm here. I 36 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: would have said yes had Dak Prescott stayed healthy, because 37 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: they would have scored some points and forced some teams 38 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: to keep their foot on the gas. Okay, with Andy Dalton, 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: I don't know that they're going to score enough points 40 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: for teams that really have to push to score thirty 41 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: six points a game to get that record. I see 42 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: what you're saying. So, I don't think they're gonna face 43 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: These teams aren't going to really have to push their 44 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: foot on the gas to beat him. Now, I mean 45 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals held with three points. Yeah, that's not 46 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: gonna do it. I know what I'm saying. Yeah, I was. 47 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: It's interesting that you say that because I was looking 48 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: at a completely different way. I was thinking, Okay, Andy 49 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: Dalton's in, they're not gonna be able to stay on 50 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: the field. That other team's gonna be coming at him 51 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: with more the possessions too, and I'm thinking they can't 52 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: stop anybody. That other team has more possessions, they're gonna 53 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: be scoring more points every week. That's a good way 54 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: to look at it. But I think Vandy Dalton will 55 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: play better as the season goes along. They'll get they'll 56 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: get used to what Andy does well and what he's 57 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: He's an undergrated throw of the football. He's not a 58 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: great quarterback. He is a very steady and consistent quarterback. 59 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: He'll give him some good plays. And that's gonna be 60 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: the question. How good does the Dallas offense play, Do 61 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: they put any pressure? Can they stay within a point 62 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: or two or a possession or two of these teams 63 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: so that they keep their foot on the gas offensively 64 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: and go after it. Yeah, because I just think opportunity 65 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: is all these opponents teams. The Giants scored thirty four 66 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: against them, see him all, Yeah, I'm gonna and they 67 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: don't have to get to five eighty one because the 68 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: current record held by the Baltimore Colts of nineteen eighty 69 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: one was five hundred thirty two points. That's the most 70 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: points allowed in a sixteen game season in NFL history. 71 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: So they don't think get they don't even stay on 72 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: pace to get five eighty one. They just think he 73 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: went to five thirty three. That's like a field goal 74 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: a game, thirty three points a game, little at more. 75 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's thirty three points again. Yeah, they might 76 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: get it. They might get They might get I think 77 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: they could. I really think they could, because I don't 78 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: think the offense is gonna hum as much without with 79 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: with Dalton in there and no Dak Prescott, So you 80 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: think they're gonna give the opponents more chances, more chances, 81 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: more points, are gonna feel the pressure that they got 82 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: to score, you know. Yeah, that's the only thing they'll 83 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: start handing off the game. They might go into their 84 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: four minute offense midway through the third quarter in short, 85 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: in the game. Yeah, then sixteen lions of two thousand 86 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: and eight in case who were interested, were next on 87 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: the list. Five hundred and sixteen total points thirty two 88 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: point three points per game. Right now, the Cowboys are 89 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: allowing more points per game Steve in the first half 90 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: than twelve other NFL clubs are allowing in full games. 91 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: So they're giving up twenty two point get it points 92 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 1: a half, I get listen. It all kind of crashed 93 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: in on him. Dak gave him a chance, he really did. 94 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: I love the way Dak was playing. You hate to 95 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: see what happened to him. Happened to him we've seen 96 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 1: at other times. And you know people, you know, they 97 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: they belly ach and they moan when these players hold 98 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: out for deals and they but let me tell you something, 99 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: it's real. It's a real thing. There's no guarantee you're 100 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: gonna be able to finish the season or even have 101 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: any more games in your career after this coming game 102 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: this week. So kudos to guys who hold out because 103 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: they believe in something and want to bet on themselves, 104 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: and kudos the guys who do bet on themselves and 105 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: haven't come through. Guys like Joe Flacco. He'd bet on 106 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: himself contract year band. He's the AULTO champion, super Bowl 107 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: MVP in contract and high highest paid quarterback of the league. Boom. 108 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: Good for him, and so I'm all for it because 109 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: it works both ways. Now, I'm going to ask you, Steve, 110 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: to reach to the deeper recesses of your cerebral cortex 111 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: to tell me if you can remember a team from 112 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: the nineties that you played against that just gave up 113 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: points at an alarming rate. Does anybody stick out to 114 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: you on a defense that you knew could not stop anyone? 115 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna give you the three worst teams in 116 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: the nineties, but I'm curious if you have any I 117 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I've been reading some things lately 118 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: about the Jet defense in ninety six, okay, but they 119 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: were in a bunch of games to a one score 120 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: games too, so I don't think that they were that bad. 121 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: The ninety six Jets was they're known as, they were 122 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: one of the team. That's it. That's that's the only 123 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: team that stands out of the opponents. So let's see 124 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: if you can guess these, because I'm gonna give you 125 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: some clues. Now. Okay, see if you can name the 126 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: three worst points allowed defenses of the nineteen nineties, Steve, 127 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: when you were in your heyday. Okay, So here's the 128 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: first team. In nineteen ninety six, This NFC team gave 129 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: up twenty nine point one points per game as the 130 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: worst point prevention defense in the NFL that year. And 131 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: they're actually tied with another version of their squad from 132 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven, which also gave up twenty nine point 133 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: one points per game in nineteen eighty seven. So we're 134 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: thinking historically bad, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That is an 135 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: excellent guest, but it is wrong. Thank you you're in 136 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: Thank you you're in the right area of the country. 137 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: Thank you for give you one more try at your 138 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: positive backhanded slap. You think of a team that had 139 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: four defenses for years on end in the late eighties 140 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: and the nineties. Man, this is not good for us. 141 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: I think of a bad team that really didn't win 142 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: a lot of football games in the late eighties and 143 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: nineties in the NFC. In the NFC kind of in 144 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: the basement of their division perennially in Arizona Cardinals. That's 145 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: another good guest, but it's the Atlanta Falcons. Yeah, ninety 146 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: six Atlanta Falcons worst defense in the league, and also 147 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: in eighty seven. Same okay, second team in nineteen ninety 148 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: this AFC team allowed almost twenty nine points per game, 149 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: which proved to be the worst in the league that year, 150 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: and your first AFC title team, Steve, contributed to that 151 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: horrible average by beating them forty two to nothing in 152 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety Can you name that AFC team that had 153 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: a god awful defense? Had to be the New York 154 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: Football Jets. It is not the Jets forty two to nothing. 155 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: I was figuring that game would stand out to you 156 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: the Patriots. It's not the Patriots, it's the Cleveland Browns 157 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety. You beat him forty two, zippo, And 158 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: you correctly guess, Steve the third team of the nineties 159 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: that had the worst points allowed defense. It was the 160 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: one in fifteen. Nineteen ninety six New York Jets finished 161 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: with the second worst in the league, next to the 162 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: aforementioned Atlanta team. And again, your nineteen ninety sixteen beat 163 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: that Jets team once in a lopsided thirty five ten 164 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: affair that was Monday Night football, wasn't it to add 165 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: to their embarrassing total. That game was four days before 166 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving that year. All right? The other number this week 167 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: involves Buffalo's opponents, Steve the Jets. Jets head coach Adam 168 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: Gase has thirty wins and forty losses as a head 169 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: coach in the NFL between Miami and New York. How 170 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: many of Adam Gase's forty career losses do you think 171 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: have been by double digits? And I'll give you a hint. 172 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: One happened in Week one when the Bills played Yeah, 173 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: hold on, I think I know this. I think Adam 174 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: Gase has more double digit losses than he has victories 175 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: in the NFL. That is correct, thirty. I think he's 176 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: thirty wins. I think he has thirty one double digit 177 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: You have nailed that. You must have read that somewhere. 178 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: Thirty one of his career losses have been digits. Tail 179 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: to the New York media for putting that made up 180 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: on these games. Yeah, they uncovered every rock with every 181 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: yuck underneath it. With Adam Gay specifically, though, what do 182 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: you think is the missing ingredient for him as a 183 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: head coach because it has not gone well in two 184 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: places now, and there are other extenuating circumstances. I'm not 185 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: going to deny that for a second, but is there 186 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: something missing in his DNA that maybe keeps him from 187 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: being a successful head coach. I think it's I think 188 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: it's his well even in Miami and also in particularly 189 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: in New York now that the roster has deteriorated underneath him. 190 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: I think it did in Miami as well in his 191 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: tenure he went to he won ten games his first year, 192 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: they went to the playoffs, and then it began to 193 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: erode underneath him. I think he needs, obviously like every 194 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: coach does. I mean, there's nothing new, but I think 195 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: he needs a veteran led locker room with strong player 196 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: leadership who those players don't go anywhere. Ye when that happens. 197 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: When he showed up in Miami, there were some guys 198 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: there that could that could handle the locker room and 199 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: keep him going and keep the professional all he I 200 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: think Adam Gas is an okay play caller off it 201 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: and a quarterback coach, and you know that kind of thing. 202 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: But when you add on what else everything that a 203 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: head coach is required to do, he has not shown 204 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: that he can handle. Yeah, I just don't see him 205 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: as a leader of men. I think he could be 206 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: a good schemer, play caller, as you said, he just 207 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: doesn't strike me as a leader of men, a guy 208 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: that can command the room and get people to believe, hey, 209 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna be all right with this guy. That kind 210 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: of thing. I think he handles an offense and a 211 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: quarterback pretty well. I just don't think he handles an 212 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: NFL team a defense very well. Or Ryan Tannehill and 213 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: I have and I don't know about his ability to 214 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: handle a staff. Yeah. Ryan Tannehill might respectfully degree with 215 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: disagree with comment. I get all that career is blossomed 216 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: since he's second himself from that gay. Well that's a difference. 217 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Mike Vrabel, that guy's a leader. Yeah, 218 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, guy Sean mcdermot's leader. Mike Tomlin's a leader. 219 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: You got guys in the league that are that would 220 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: be successful with a number of different teams, you know, 221 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: forget about you know, because most of them, like Mike Tomlin, 222 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: Vrabel and Sean McDermott guys like that. They built that 223 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: thing from the ground up. Yeah, uh, that's you know, 224 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: Gays has never been really asked to do that, you know, 225 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: And in New York, I don't know that they haven't 226 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: know they can though I don't know that what right, 227 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if he can, But I don't know 228 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: that that the ownership group in New York ever asked 229 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: one of their coaches to do that. Yeah, and maybe 230 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: they didn't in Miami either. They may have said, hey, 231 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: make this Tannehill guy go, and the Jets may have 232 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: said the very same thing. We're gonna draft the quarterback. 233 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to make him go. That's right, And 234 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: that's all they asked him to do. He had they've done. 235 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: And a head coach the NFL, you've got to be offense. 236 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: You gotta be defense, you gotta be special teams. You 237 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: gotta be roster management. You gotta get a coaching staff 238 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: in there that can develop players. You got you know, scheduling, 239 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: You've got a thousand things. You've got to be completely 240 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: responsible for and delegate to quality people who you recognize. 241 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: And you know, I don't you know, Gas has never 242 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: been either tasked with some of that and certainly not 243 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: gotten it done. Had had he been all right? Good 244 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: discussion there. Time now for our best interview from the 245 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: week on one Bills Live. Here's Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt, 246 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: who was ready to talk bills when he joined us 247 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: for his weekly segment. Kyle, we've played two games since 248 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: we last spoke to you, and they have not gone well, 249 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: my friend, No, what the hell happened here? Guys the 250 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: last time we spoke. Let's just do a quick recap. 251 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: Let's time stampt? Do we need to last? When last 252 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: we spoke, Chris is wearing a ron burgundy wig and 253 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: a musta jacket. We were talking about Steve's hair. The 254 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: bills are four and oh it's it's Marty Gras in 255 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: Western New York. It's the best time of our lives. 256 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: And then it's just two clock cleanings later and one week. 257 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: You guys are dressed normally. There's no wigs, no mustaches. 258 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: But I refuse to be down. I'm not gonna do it. 259 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: That's not my job. When I come in here, I'm 260 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: going to inject energies of this thing. So holy crap, 261 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: that was a rough week. Yeah, it was tough, and 262 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: you knew going in there are two really good football 263 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: teams in the Championship a year ago, and the winner 264 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: of that game actually wins the Super Bowl. You're facing 265 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: the MVP of the league two years ago and the 266 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP last year. I mean, you figure last 267 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: night's game was going to be a test for the Bills. 268 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: It was a close game. You miss a field goal 269 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the first half to tie it up. 270 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: You kind of feel like, you know, you kind of 271 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: got yourself together, and man oh man, it just never 272 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: felt like the Bills had any semblance of hope in 273 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: that second half, even though the scoreboards said it was close. Yeah, 274 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: I would look at it this Swiss. If you had 275 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: told us a week ago, here's the deal, guys, the 276 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: Bills are gonna lose both these games, it would be 277 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: a little punched in the throat. But the real devastating overhand, 278 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: right is how when you hear how they lost, it's 279 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: not that they lost to the Titans and Chiefs. I 280 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't really think they belonged with them 281 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: for most of those games, and that we started our 282 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: show this morning. I'd be interestedy here. I started yours. 283 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: It was just are the Bills still one of the 284 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: best teams in the FC? And the answers no. Right now, 285 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are a good team. They're not a 286 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: great team. We know that, and maybe they will be. 287 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: Maybe they will be in two months, maybe they will 288 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: be in two weeks. Right now, they're one of the 289 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: also rans in the FC. Now, that doesn't mean that 290 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: they're at the bottom of the barrel. They're not going 291 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Maybe they will go to the playoffs. 292 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: It just means they're in that there be there the 293 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: three star restaurants. They're not the four and that's all right, 294 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: I think for now. I put it this way, I'd 295 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: rather be having this conversation right now than as we're 296 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: getting close to Christmas and they like they've been cruising them. 297 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: They got fat and happy on a ten and one record. 298 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: They're taking their lumps now and I can't imagine mcdermot's 299 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: not given them more because I knew as Sean McDermott 300 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: team could lose. I did not think that this man's 301 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: team would get all run overs, would commit more dumb 302 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: penalties like if it's chair throwing. Time for McDermott. It's 303 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: it's about right now. Well, he described the problems. He 304 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: often says, you know, we try to identify little pebbles 305 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: as problems that we have, and we address him early 306 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: so they don't become boulders. And after last night's game, 307 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: he said, we have some boulders to take care of. 308 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: So I don't know if he's handing out rock hammers. 309 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if Andy d frains coming by to 310 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: teach him how to do that. But they've got some 311 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: big problems to address here, as coach McDermott himself sees it. 312 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: Fortunately for them, they've got the Jets on the schedule 313 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: next to try to write some of the wrong It's simple, 314 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: they would They in the Bill's locker room, they got 315 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: a big old poster of Raquel Welch and behind it 316 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: there's a tunnel, and the tunnel goes all the way 317 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and they're just gonna 318 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: crawl through there. That is like some you know, the 319 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: schedule gods usually screw you, ah man, we can't play 320 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: this team. This is beautiful. This is a a SPA week. 321 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna play the game against the Jets in robes 322 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: with cucumbers on their eyes, and they're slippers and yet 323 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: in the stadium, and slippers with their little names embroidered 324 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: on it. This is the greatest gift ever from the 325 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: from the scheduled gods. And I don't even want to 326 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: hear any given Sunday. Right now, the Jets can barely 327 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: line up all right. Joe Flacco, who I totally respect 328 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: and feel bad for, is their quarterback. This is perfect. 329 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: Get right at ridam magazine, Get in the hot tub, relaxed, tackle, 330 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: do the things you're supposed to do, and then we'll 331 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: resume the season. But this is like, this is this 332 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: is a nice day at the Burke Williams spat. They 333 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: got they're gonna Manny Petty, It's gonna beautiful. Yeah, what 334 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: what do you think? I know this? The Bills give 335 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: up a lot of yards last night. Yet last night, 336 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: and of course they gave up some yards to Derrick 337 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: Henry and the Titans and all that stuff. And and 338 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: do you think, I mean, I don't think it's just 339 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: one thing, run defense aside. Do you think that they 340 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: fix their run defense everything gets a little better or 341 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: do you think I mean last night they were in 342 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: a close game and even the offense couldn't answer the bill. 343 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: So I know it's not just I don't think there's 344 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: a magic wand or one problem that needs to be solved. Yeah, 345 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: I agree with you, Steves. Even when they cut it 346 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: to a score last night, it just didn't feel like 347 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: it was ever gonna happen. You get kind of excited 348 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: they score late, maybe we can pull it out, and 349 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 1: then Mahomes just kind of snaps his fingers and they 350 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: hand it off. He makes a play and move the chains. 351 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: Good night, Irene. Listen if they could wave a magic wand, 352 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,719 Speaker 1: which they can't, and make the run defense like it 353 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: was a few years ago, and then I'm worried about 354 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: the run offense all of a sudden. You know, I 355 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: love the sea Josh Allen running around, and they actually 356 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: had some good scripted runs for him last night, But 357 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: I don't want him to be the leading rusher on 358 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: the team. I don't even want them to be close. 359 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: We got young, fresh legged running backs on this squad. 360 00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: You don't see a lot about him. I like to 361 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: little flash of what I saw from Moss last night, 362 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: but this has got to be a different deals it's 363 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: the Josh Allen Show. This is what I would say, Everybody, 364 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: take a deep breath and just soak in a few things. 365 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: You're probably not gonna go thirteen and three. I don't 366 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: think Josh Allen is gonna win the MVP of the 367 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: NFL this year. I think that is gone, and that's 368 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: all right. It's not the goal of the season. The 369 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: goal of the season is to win the division and 370 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: win a playoff game or two. Take a deep breath, 371 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: re establish who you are, and enough of this. They're 372 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: not the greatest show on turf. Josh Allen throwing for 373 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,239 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty blah blah blah. Maybe that's not 374 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: what's gonna work for them in the long term. I 375 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: would like to make a few tackles and I'd like 376 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: to have some running plays that work better before the 377 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: next Josh Allen VP campaign comes up. And I'm a 378 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: support of it. I got the Gentleman's name on my 379 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: shirt right here. I love them, but I don't know 380 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: if that's the recipe for the Bills. Month after months, 381 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: we've said off the air in between, this game looked 382 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: like it did two years ago in Josh's rookie season. 383 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: It's kind of the way that team played yesterday. There's 384 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: just you know, there's a lot of problems going on, 385 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: and you see some hints of what we think is 386 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: in there, and what we've seen in the first four 387 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: games of this year, we've seen hints of that. We 388 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: see it flashes of it, but it looks like that, 389 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: you know, last night particularly, it looked like they know 390 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: it was twenty and eighteen, and Josh Ky looking all 391 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: over the place and Steve it's twenty eighteen, and is 392 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: it gonna be two twenty five? But here's the deal. 393 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: The Bills are gonna grow old with this dude, with 394 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, with McDermott, god willing, it's gonna be years 395 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: to come. But Mahomes isn't going nowhere. Lamar Jackson is 396 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: going nowhere. All these guys are gonna grow old with 397 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, so they're his peers, and he may have 398 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: another one down in Miami now. So it's like it's 399 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: never gonna get easier. It's never like, oh, all those 400 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: guys are gonna fall off, They're all gonna be great. 401 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: You have to eventually beat them and we'll get there eventually. 402 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: I hope you mentioned Miami. The Jews came down after 403 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: you were off the year on your show, So how 404 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 1: does this one grab you? There? There's the Dolphins are 405 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: suddenly a game behind the Bills in the division, and 406 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: they turned to Tua. Now what they did it's playing well. 407 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you're a game out with eleven games to play. 408 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: Should the Bills send the Dolphins a thank you card 409 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: for this? Well? I don't think so. I think some 410 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: of the initial reactions, and they totally make sense, are whoa, whoa, 411 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: what are you doing this? If it ain't broke, don't 412 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: fix it. I think the opposite way, I think for them. 413 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: For years, the Miami Dolphins have been prisoners of the moment, 414 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: short term thinking. Just stay with what's working, if anything's working, 415 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: This is a bold move that tells me that Flores 416 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: and his assistants are saying, you guys have no idea 417 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: what we have in this to a kid, we do. 418 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: We're not keeping him on the bench for another second. 419 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: They didn't put him out there because he came at 420 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: the end of the gaming as the Jets completed a 421 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: couple of passes. I think they're putting them out there 422 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: because they've been watching him for six weeks and he's 423 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: a phenom, and they know the other thing. Listen, you 424 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: guys know this as well as anybody. Fitzpatrick is not 425 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: going to keep winning. We have fifteen years of experience 426 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: with this. He goes on a nice ride, he gets 427 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: you in the mix, and then it usually falls off. 428 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: That's the facts. So it's almost like they're saying, we're 429 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: not gonna wait for the fall. We know Ryan what 430 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: he is and what he isn't. He's throwing a few 431 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: picks where you can out some wins, but we're gonna 432 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 1: beat it. And we believe in this kid. And instead 433 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: of waiting two weeks from now when we have two 434 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: more losses to put him in, we're gonna put him 435 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: in now. It's bold, but I actually really respect it. 436 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: It's easy to stay with Fits. A lot of teams 437 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: stayed with Fits. He falls off, the roller coaster goes down. 438 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: I like this move. And then how do you think 439 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: that changes the landscape of the division here, Kyle, Because 440 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: we know that the Patriots are struggling. They were in 441 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: and out of their facility. They could practice, they couldn't practice. 442 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: It kind of revealed itself on the field last week, 443 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, fumbling, bumbling, stumbling. I know they didn't have 444 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: their center and that contributed to it, but they don't 445 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: look like they have receivers that can even get open. Yeah, look, 446 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: they look bad. Here's here's my own take on the division. Okay, 447 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: Bills have to decide how good they want to be. 448 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: They have to decide if they want to be a 449 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: great team or not. And they got a few weeks 450 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: to do that. We know what we feel about them. 451 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: The Jets are obviously the Jets that they may go 452 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 1: on sixteen, they may go two and fourteen. They're irrelevant. 453 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: The Patriots, I am in no way setting aside understand 454 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: that I do not. I'm not going to have the 455 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: naivete to say, well, they don't have it together that 456 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: last game. It was ugly as hell. They had two 457 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: practices and two weeks. Their quarterback was coming off the 458 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: COVID list. He's new to begin with with the team. 459 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: I still think a month from now we'll be talking 460 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: about New England is in the mix. And let's not 461 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: forget they don't lose to Sean McDermott and Josh Allen. 462 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: I wish they would for the sake of variety and entertainment. 463 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: But they don't, and until they do, I'm not saying, well, 464 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots are cooked. I don't care if they lost 465 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: to Denver. And then, lastly, Miami is the ultimate enigma 466 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: in this thing. If Tua comes out and looks anything 467 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: like he should, they can run away. I'm telling you, 468 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: I believe that if Tua was not hurt, he would 469 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: be on the Cincinnati Bengals right now. I think he 470 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: would have been the number one pick of the draft 471 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: over Joe Burrow. He was that good. We are that 472 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: quick to forget that he was an absolute phenom. If 473 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: he catches something and the Dolphins have receivers, the Dolphins 474 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: can run the ball A little bit dangerous? Is how 475 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: really dangerous? I was gonna ask you, what else do 476 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: the Dolphins have? I mean, the Bills played him and 477 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: it was a tussle for the Bills in Miami down there? 478 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: What else do the Are the Dolphins good enough and 479 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: the rest of their roster. If TWA comes in lights 480 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: it up, say like he does, a Justin Herbert or 481 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: or a Joe Burrow has a pretty good stretch for 482 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: a month or so, where could the Dolphins get to 483 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: I don't know, Stu. I like them a lot. I 484 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: don't think they're great defensively, and they still have a 485 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: lot of future picks and they're gonna go down the 486 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: road to be defensively. But they have receivers. They got 487 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: these running backs. Now, this Miles Gaskin, this guy who's 488 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: taken all the carries from Miami, more or less away 489 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: from better known guys like Jordan Howard, runs hard, doesn't care. 490 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: Is someone who's not expected much of and isn't impressed 491 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: by it. And Fitzpatrick's way to his skill set is unbelievable. 492 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: His rates, it's a little bit like we saw from 493 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: Kyler last night. Everybody's watching Kyler Murray against the Cowboys, 494 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: just blown away by his talent and his speed. It's 495 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: a little bit like that, except left handed, maybe even 496 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: a slightly more accurate passer. So if they give him 497 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: two and he's got receivers and he got a running game, 498 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to score some points. Because I don't 499 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: think the defense is great. It's just a matter of ceiling. 500 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: It's Ryan Fitzpatrick was gonna do it. He's gonna do 501 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: and the Dolphins are saying, we think we can take 502 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: this division. We think we can reddle off, you know, 503 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: five out of the next six, and knowing about two 504 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: a talent like I do, I would not love it. 505 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: If I was a Bills fan, I'd like safe old 506 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick wherever he is, keep him on the field. We 507 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: know him, We're not afraid of him. The two things 508 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: a little scary. Talk to me talking to Kyle Brand 509 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: from Good Morning Football here with us every week on Tuesdays. 510 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: Talk to me about who you think is the class 511 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: of the conference right now? Is it Pittsburgh, is it 512 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: Tennessee or is it still Kansas City? Right now? Those 513 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: are the three at the top record wise, But who 514 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: do you like the best right now? Who's the power 515 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: in this conference? I love Pittsburgh, and I don't pat 516 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: myself on the back because no one cares after five seconds. 517 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: But in August I picked the Pittsburgh Steelers to win 518 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: the whole Super Bowl, like the entire thing. I just 519 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: because here's the deal with Pittsburgh. You know their defense 520 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: was going to be great and there was no secret. 521 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: Everybody knew it. The question was gonna be Roethlisberger. Can 522 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: they have enough offense? I bet on Roethlisberger making that pick. 523 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: I have not seen Ben Roethlisberger on the field in years, 524 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: maybe if ever, looked more comfortable. His body language is 525 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: almost positive and happy, borderline goofy. He's smiling and joking 526 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,719 Speaker 1: with referees. We've seen ornery Roethlisberger for years, always banged up, 527 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: always dealing with some headache in the huddle. There's none 528 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: of that now. It's young, cohesive teams with a Hall 529 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback, a crazy defense, and they just I mean, 530 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: look at the Browns are supposed to be a threatened 531 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: that division. They didn't belong in the same field. The 532 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: Devin Bush injury and the middle linebacker is not it 533 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: is not going to help. I love, love, love Pittsburgh. Yeah, 534 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: I call that the Who's Your Daddy game last week 535 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: because Pittsburgh is just Cleveland's daddy. It's just over and 536 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: over and over again. Yeah, you already mentioned them, and 537 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: you said that you weren't going to count. You were. 538 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: It's not sign time to say goodbye to the Patriots yet. 539 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: But I've I've heard it. I heard a clip and 540 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: I've seen it on social media. They're they're actually fans 541 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: in New England and media people who are saying, like, wow, 542 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: Bill's Bill Belichick has lost it. It's totally over. It's time. 543 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: I bust out laughing. I's got it. I thought it 544 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: had to be sarcasm, but apparently it's not. And I mean, 545 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: there are some problems in New England. Obviously they've been, 546 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, out of the building like the Titans were. 547 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: They haven't had been practicing and stuff. But now they're 548 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: they're all over a guy who has gone to nine 549 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: Super Bowls and won six of them, and they're all 550 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: jumping into the Charles River. What are they doing? Well, 551 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: I think it's the same people who I saw we're 552 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: saying about the Packers. Let's take a look at this 553 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: Jordan Love. I think we've seen enough. Can we get 554 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: Jordan Love suited off and get him a few snaps? 555 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: Come on, check everybody, everybody calmed down. I think what 556 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: the Belichick thing, Steve, I think what it is is 557 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: they want it to happen, and they're trying to will 558 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: it to happen, and they would love to see Belichick 559 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: just go four and twelve. But then here's the worst part. 560 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: Then they would have that happen and say, hey, Belichick, suffered, 561 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: and then Belichick's gonna draft an amazing quarterback. He's gonna 562 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: have like the number four pick in the draft. Either way, 563 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: they lose. But the idea of somebody's sitting here because well, 564 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: they lost Tom Brady and they had a huge issue 565 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: with COVID, had two practices in two weeks and lost 566 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: the field goal contest means Belichick's heads on a stake. Everybody, 567 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: just relax, Come on, I know you want it. You'll 568 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: get it eventually, but not right now. Right and then 569 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: finally for me, Kyle, there are rumors circulating now that 570 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: the Washington football team will be making a play for 571 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: Cam Newton. Obviously, they're connecting the dots between him and 572 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: Rivera for their quarterback situation, which I guess you would 573 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: say is muddled at best. Right now, could you even 574 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: see that being in the cards for Cam to reunite 575 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: with Ron Rivera? Chris is a real thing. I don't 576 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: see all the things you guys do. People are saying 577 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: Cam to Washington, yeah for next year, all right, because 578 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: he's only on a one year deal. All right, So 579 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: Cam to Washington next year, yes, because he's only on 580 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: a one year deal. That because I was seeing Jets 581 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: trade Sam Darnold to Dallas like before the deadline. That's 582 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: the one that I'm seeing in the streets this morning. 583 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: Because the Cowboys are gonna say, we're in all alone 584 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: in first place with one of the worst teams we've 585 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: ever had. What if we get a different quarterback, maybe 586 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: we can win a few playoff game. I don't see 587 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: that either. But Cam out to Washington probably not. It's 588 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: short of you know, Cam doing some different things this year. 589 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: I never got the impression that Rivera was in love 590 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: with Cam anyway. I mean, I actually I think Rivera 591 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: right now with my love Kyle Allen more than he 592 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: loves Cam Newton for a million reasons. So next season, sir, 593 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: maybe so. But also Washington might be taking Trevor Lawrence 594 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: next season. Yeah, I gotta want to ask you about 595 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: those Cowboys last night. Yeah they looked horrible. Yeah, stuff, 596 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: that's tough. Kyler Murray, on the other hand, looked great. Uh. 597 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, and I lost two Super Bowls 598 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, so I got no level against those. Adam 599 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,479 Speaker 1: Steve right, but I know, but man, oh man, uh 600 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: was Mike McCarthy a mistake? I mean, what is what's 601 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: going because I always thought the Cowboys had some talent. 602 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: That's a good question. I think that Mike McCarthy is 603 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: maybe learning that it's very difficult to win without Aaron Rodgers. 604 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: And I really mean that. When you have a seminal 605 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: generational quarterback who really never turns the ball over and 606 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: has you in contention every single year, it's great. And 607 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: he probably told the Jones boys when he was trying 608 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: to close the job, Hey, my teams don't turn the 609 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: ball over. And I know offense and I know this, 610 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: and they probably just lapped it up. Andy Dalton is 611 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: not Aaron Rodgers. Andy Dalton is knock Dak Prescott. I 612 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: have no beef with Andy Dalton. He is what he is. 613 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: I don't blame him for last night. I can't even 614 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: we try to discuss the Cardinals this morning. Are they good? 615 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know how the Globetrotter is 616 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: good When they beat the Washington Generals. They're just doing 617 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: bucket at confetti and a bunch of nonsense. It's not 618 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: even like a real opponent, which is a terrible, terrible 619 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: thing to say. But when Mike McCarthy attempted a field goal, 620 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: down about fifty points or whatever it was to cut 621 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: it to forty seven points. I just didn't know what 622 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: he was doing. He seems to have lost all sense 623 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: of himself. He looks totally miserable on the sideline, and 624 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: so are all of us who want to celebrate the Cowboys. 625 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: You know, I don't have a bias to the Cowboys, 626 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: but I think it's more fun when they're involved. And 627 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, it's really really bad. And yet at 628 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: two and four they remain in first place in the 629 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: NFC least I know. I still think the Eagles are 630 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: gonna win that division. Though it's the Eagles lost to 631 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: Baltimore this past weekend. They made it close. It almost 632 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: felt like a win. That's how bad it is. I'm 633 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: saying I have it at six nine and one is 634 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: going to win the NFC East. And here's the christ part. 635 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: Remember that. Remember when the Eagles tied the Bengals and 636 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: everybody was screaming about Doug Peterson and he went for 637 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: a tie and didn't take the win. I think that 638 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: tie is going to get them into the playoffs. I 639 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: really do, And that's stupid. Miserable. Tie is better than 640 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: a loss. I mean it's a tie in the NFC 641 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: East is like three wins right now, so that they 642 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: come full circle and get a mint it is. The 643 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: analytics gurus will be all over that a time means 644 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: you take, you gain a half a game on the 645 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: entire division. They'll have a new metric nobody else is winning. 646 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: They'll have a new metric, winning percentage above expected value 647 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: on ties. Just wait for it, it's coming. If Philadelphia 648 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: pulls off with Kyle, just see please, Chris saved this clip. 649 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: And when the Cowboys finish six and ten and the 650 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: Eagles finish six nine and one and get a home 651 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: playoff game, can we play this back? Because we will 652 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: play I think it's happening. We'll do it. We'll get 653 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: the guys in the control room to lay it down, 654 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: we'll save it, we'll put it in the vault, we'll 655 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: roll it out to twenty eighth and you'll look like 656 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: a genius. This will go into the hopefully hopefully not file.

Okay, always an entertaining 665 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: chat with Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football when he 666 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: makes his weekly appearance on One Bills Live every Tuesday 667 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: during the football season. All right, Steve, Now time for 668 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: a segment we like to call one burning question. We 669 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: gotta get like a flamethrower sound effect to go under me. 670 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: Next time when we do one burning Questions, we get 671 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: some production, a roaring fire or something. We all know who. 672 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski is, former second round pick in New England 673 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: Pat It's now playing for the Tampa Bay Bucks, and 674 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: he followed Brady South to Florida's we know. I think 675 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: they's hooked up on their ninety fourth career touchdown together 676 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: just this past week. And we know he was born 677 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: in Amherst, New York, and went to Williamsville North High 678 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: School for part of his high school career. So this 679 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: week's burning Question Steve for Bills fans, was Rob Grinkowski 680 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: ever viewed? As a Buffalo guy or ever, Yeah, I 681 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: think so. I think he was playing for the Patriots 682 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: and having all the success they did, and him putting 683 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: together what I think is probably a Hall of Fame 684 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: career for a tight end. Absolutely whatever, it is a 685 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame career for a tight end. I think 686 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: Buffalo fans are pretty well adjusted the fact that the guy, Hey, 687 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: he got drafted by another team and he had a 688 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: great career, even though we got to see him twice 689 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: a year. Certainly there was a couple of heated moments 690 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: between Buffalo and Gronkowski, most notably the Trey White hit. Yeah, 691 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: robbed him on the sideline right, all that, But I 692 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: think for the most part, as time goes on, Buffalo 693 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: will put its arms around Gronkowski and treat him as 694 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: one of their own. I'm pretty confident. I think when 695 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: he played for the Enemy, he kind of lost his 696 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: I'm from Buffalo card, because I mean, he beat this 697 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: Bill's team up so many times, and he was Brady's 698 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: right hand man, and I think that just it just 699 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: poured salt in the wound. Everybody hated Brady and this 700 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: guy from Buffalo, of all people, was one of his 701 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: right hand men. Yeah, on the offense. So here, I 702 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: looked it up. Steve fifteen career games for Rob Gronkowski 703 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: against the Bills. Okay, sixty nine receptions for one thousand 704 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: and seventy yards and twelve touchdowns. Holy Moley. I mean 705 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: that is production to the highest degree. He had one, two, three, 706 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: four or five six one d games in those fifteen 707 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: career games against the Bills. And if he's still playing 708 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: next year, the Bills will see him in Tampa one 709 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: more time. Do you think he reduced the sting at 710 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: all on the parts of Bills fans by going to 711 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: play for Tampa? Thinks? So, I think that changes a 712 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 1: lot of things for a lot of people. And plus 713 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,720 Speaker 1: I think, particularly with this, I think it might depend 714 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: on how much success the Bills team has, because there 715 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: was always that envy looking over at what the Patriots 716 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: were able to do and what they were doing in 717 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: New England and the playoff and the huge run they 718 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: had been on and still for all and tens they 719 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: may still be on. So I think him going to 720 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: another team humanizes him a little bit. Yeah, And I 721 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: think that goes a long way towards at the end 722 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: of it all, depending on how long it lasted in 723 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. I mean one year may not as much, 724 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: but two years, I think you will see him walking 725 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: up a Buffalo street. Somebody recognize him. Hey, Rock, you know, Yeah, 726 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: you're a Buffalo guy and we love you and we're 727 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 1: glad your career is over and you're not killing us anymore. 728 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 1: And don't ever show us any of your Super Bowl rings. 729 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: Yeah see a Buffalonian knowing that. Yeah, you're right. But 730 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 1: I think eventually that will happen. Yeah, I mean there's 731 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: a Buffalo guy and he'll remain. So finally, here on 732 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: one Bill's Light, we take a look at our most 733 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: interesting Twitter poll from the week, which asked you, the 734 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: Bills fan, after two straight losses, do you think the 735 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: Bills can still win the AFC East and why? And 736 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 1: we got a lot of great answers, more than sixteen 737 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: hundred votes cast the day we put that poll out, 738 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: And for the choices, kind of worried about Miami got 739 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: just ten percent of the vote, Still worried about New 740 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: England twenty seven percent of the vote, and heck yeah 741 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: it's all ours the winning choice with a commanding sixty 742 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 1: three percent of the vote. After those two humbling losses. Steve, 743 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: I'm surprised that the Bills fan base is still this confident. Well, 744 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: they were well, but before those games, it might have 745 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: been up to eighty five percent, right, that would have 746 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: been ninety it would have been a lot higher. So 747 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: as there's no telling how many people's confidence was shaken. Certainly, 748 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 1: the team came down to earth with two losses to 749 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 1: two really good AFC opponents, and those losses may come 750 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: back to haunt them, you know when tie breakers and 751 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: all that stuff that's coming down the pipe. But the 752 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: next two weeks against the Jets and the Patriots, it 753 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: could put the it could put the division out of 754 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: reach for the other teams. If the Bills can win 755 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: both of those games. Yeah, those are gigantic games which 756 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: can largely kind of seal the deal on the division. 757 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: Just after Halloween, I mean that Patriots games November first, 758 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 1: the day after Halloween. They beat the Jets and beat 759 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 1: the Patriots, They're four and own the division with only 760 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: two games to play. I mean, they're in the catbird 761 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: seat at that point, and I believe the offense can 762 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: get back to where they were the first month of 763 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: the season, and if the defense can just get to 764 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: the middle of the pack and be, like Tredavious White said, 765 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: a takeaway type defense to help compliment the offense. I 766 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: think they can get to ten and six. This is 767 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: a challenging schedule. People might hear ten at six and say, 768 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 1: what are you talking about, Brownie? Have you looked at 769 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: the schedule? It's I mean Pittsburgh, San fran Seattle. I 770 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: mean even Arizona on the road is going to beat 771 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: twice Pats twice. Arizona on the road is gonna be 772 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: a bear man Kyler Murray is lighten it up. So 773 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: they've got challenging games ahead. Is it's going to be 774 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: a gauntlet schedule? Yes, But I believe ten wins provided 775 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: they beat the Jets and the Patriots these next two weeks, 776 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: as you suggested, those are part of the ten wins 777 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: to the Patriots. I'm still not giving them a wash. Well, no, 778 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: I know, I don't care if the Patriots lose this 779 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: week to the forty nine ers and walking there at 780 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: two and five or two and four. They're a tough 781 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: team to beat. The Patriots are a tough team. They're 782 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 1: still gonna be a tough team to beat. They're gonna 783 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: be remain a very competitive team, and Cam Cam Newton 784 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: getting back and them getting into a rhythm now that 785 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 1: they put this COVID outbreak behind them and gotten a 786 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: chance to get it underneath them, they're gonna they're gonna 787 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: play tough, and you know they'll be able to push 788 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: the Bills to the limit if the If the game 789 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: against the Jets and the game against the Patriots, these 790 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks are part of their ten win total. 791 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: I think ten wins is enough to get the division 792 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: and the AFC each That's that's kind of where I stand. 793 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: Those these next two games have to be part of 794 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 1: that ten win total. I think to make ten wins 795 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: enough to win the AFC East for the first time 796 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety five. All right, that's all for us 797 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Light.
