1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Caster cutdown Buffalo at a Steve Taster who has been

2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: all over the field unique he was kind of a

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: dual roll fighter for you, Steve a blimp. We're not

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: even in the straded beer of normalcy. Burnet to find

5
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: some room around the right side, gets inside the thirty,

6
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: inside the twenty, inside the five, tax to the end zone. Touchdown,

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Leonard Bournette goes forty seven yards napped the

8
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: Brady out of an empty backfield, books fires into the

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: end zone in his cart. The Brady keeps drives forward

10
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Touchdown, Tampa run the Bucks eighteen.

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: Josh takes shotguns Sam gonna keep it himself, runs left side,

12
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: has room five yard line into the end zone. Touchdown, Buffalo.

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen eighteen yards out. He fooled everyone, gonna run

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: it himself, gets good yardage inside the thirty, inside the

15
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: twenty five yard line, and he's finally out of out

16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: Bills with the first down at the fifteen. Josh Ellen

17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: guns one into the end zone. Touchdown, Buffalo. Johnson knocks touchdown.

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Bill Josh looks to the end zone, fires caught touchdown

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Gabriel Davis touchdown Buffalo. It's a baller game. Now,

20
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: it is a ball game. Takes it looks to his left,

21
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: fire's left side. This one caught by Dawson knocks on

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: the run at the thirty five. At the thirty, still

23
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: on the run. It's had the twenty. He's finally put down.

24
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: Damp is good. The kick is up, and the kick

25
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 1: is good, and the Bills tie it up with twenty

26
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: two seconds left. We've got a tie ball game. It's

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: all not enough. At twenty seven apiece, Tom Brady takes

28
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: his snamp has all day long to find somebody. He does.

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: At the fifty yard line, the pass caught by Pairman

30
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: on the run gets away from the Bills defender headed

31
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: to the end zone. Touchdown came over, the Bucks winning

32
00:01:52,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: in overtime. Toshiba, the official copy or company of the

33

Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, responsible for that Toshiba game rewind Steve Tasker

Speaker 1: here with Maddie Glab on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown

35
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: will join me in the last two hours of the program.

36
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab stepping in here in this first hour. Lots

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: to go, lots going on, lots of conversation. It's a

38
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: tough day. Maddie for the people who say, listen, the

39
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: refs didn't steal the game. For a tough day for

40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: those people to make that argument when even the national

41
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: media is piling on the officials last night, a bunch

42
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: of note calls against Steph Diggs and all that going on.

43
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: It's it's frustrating. And I know that that the team's

44
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: on the that is on the losing end always seems

45
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: to have a couple of handful of plays that they

46
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: go back to and said, this might have made a difference,

47
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: This mat have made a difference, man o man. Tough

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: day for the officiating crew on the four o'clock game

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: yesterday in Tampa Bay. Yeah, I know, and I wonder

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: if we're going to hear anything from that officiating crew

51
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: or you know, the head of the officiators. I mean,

52
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: there were there were some calls that I don't know

53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: if there are the right calls. But at the end

54
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: of the day, we hope that the Bills are in

55
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: a situation where these calls don't even matter because they

56
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: have such a big lead against whatever opponent it may be.

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: I hate that games like this and games in the

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: past we've looked to the officiating crew for their lack

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: there of calls or calling things that they shouldn't have called, because,

60
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: like we hear Sean McDermott say, you know, we can't

61
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: get any of that back, and it's on us that

62
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: we were in a situation where we needed that call

63
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: to go another way, or we needed a call where

64
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: we didn't get one. Yeah, And it's interesting too that

65
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: and there's been other games this year where, you know,

66
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: particularly in the close games, where a couple of plays, yeah,

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: certainly here are there, you can say it. But last

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: night seemed to be a little bit of a chronic

69
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: problem with the no calls, particularly against the Bills, and

70
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, Steph Diggs getting grabbed on a couple of

71
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: different occasions where you know, I mean, you've seen it

72
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: called a thousand times in the NFL, and they just

73
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: decided not to call it last night. It's interesting too,

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: because this game was completely was absolutely horrible from a

75
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: Bill's standpoint. In the first half, twenty four to three,

76
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: they go into halftime, the Bills couldn't get anything done.

77
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: They come back with a storming back late in the

78
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: second half, tie the game up to go to overtime.

79
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: The interesting thing about. This was when the Bills needed

80
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: it most, and this is what really you got to

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: take away from this game for your Bills fan. Josh

82
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: goes thirty six to fifty four for three o eight,

83
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, had one interception, had twelve carries for one

84
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: hundred and nine rushing yards and a TD. He became

85
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: the fourth player in NFL history to throw for three

86
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: hundred plus and run for a hundo in a game.

87
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 1: He was injured in the fourth quarter versus the Bucks.

88
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: That's probably the most concerning thing for Bills fans, this thing,

89
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: but man, oh Man, on a game when everybody was

90
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: watching the Bills and the Bucks play, Josh Allen literally

91
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: strapped the entire team and fan base and city on

92
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: his back and carried him to an overtime loss. He

93
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: was absolutely heroic in the second half of that game. Yeah,

94
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: and I know his performance doesn't equal a win in

95
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: the column, but I think there's things that we can

96
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: take away from this game. Things that we wanted to

97
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: see from this offense in the second half that we

98
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: didn't see the first half, that we haven't seen in

99
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of games, especially in the last few losses.

100
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: It was good to see that offense get back to

101
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: a rhythm. We haven't seen that rhythm from this offense,

102
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: I want to say in the in the latter part

103
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: of that last half of the season. I mean, you

104
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: look at their drives in the first half compared to

105
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: the second half, and it's completely night and day. In

106
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: the first half, they go punt, punt, field goal, punt, interception, punt,

107
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: one for six when it comes to scoring. Second half,

108
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: turnover on downs, then they go touchdown, punt, touchdown, touchdown,

109
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: field goal, score on three straight drives to end the game.

110
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: And that's what That's what you needed out of the offense,

111
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: and the defense was putting the ball back in the

112
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: offense's hands, so they had an opportunity to go out there,

113
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: win the game, tie the game. They end up tying it,

114
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: forcing the game to go into overtime. Unfortunately, couldn't score

115
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: on that first drive, go three and out, the Bucks

116
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: get the ball and they score touchdown to end the

117
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: game in overtime and get the win in overtime. But

118
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: you can come away from this game with some positives

119
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: with how the team played in the second half, from

120
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: offense to defense. We talked about it last night. It

121
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: was the tale of two halves, and this second half

122
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: needs to go into the Panthers game, into the Patriots game,

123
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: into the Falcons game, into the Jets game, because at

124
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: this point, the Bills can still control their own destiny

125
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs if they win out this season. So

126
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: we need to see that play that we saw in

127
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: the second half. We cannot see anything less because this

128
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: team has to win the next four games. One of

129
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: the other interesting things about the game last night in

130
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: the first half, the Bills did not deliberately hand the

131
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: ball off to a running back the entire first half.

132
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: They did on the fake punt, which was roundly criticized

133
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: as being maybe the obvious fake punt it instead of

134
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: going for if you've got to go for, put the

135
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: ball in the hands of the best player. I've got

136
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: my own thoughts about that, But nevertheless, the Bills came out,

137
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: did not hand the football off to a running back

138
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: the entire first half, and they went in at halftime

139
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: twenty four to three. Underdog you know behind, came out

140
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: and Devin Singletary into the night with four rushes for

141
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: what was it, four rushes for fifty two rushing yard

142
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: average thirteen yards per rush when he got the ball

143
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: in the second half, which is a huge number for

144
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: that guy. I think that I think that's a little

145
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: bit of this has always been a team with Josh

146
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Allen when they play their best that the pass sets

147
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: up the run. Devin Singletary finds room when the when

148
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: the defense has to back out of there to play coverage,

149
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: and he finds some space early on in this game,

150
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary in the first three or four plays, maybe

151
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: first five offensive plays, it was one first, second, and

152
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: third down when they converted the first down, and then

153
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: they got first and second down. Devin Singletary was the

154
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: guy that got the ball all three of me. He

155
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: checked it down to the running back like for three

156
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: of the first four play of the ball game in

157
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: that first half, but he threw it to him. He

158
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: didn't pass it, he didn't hand it to him. So

159
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: it really an interesting first half, if you know, if

160
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: you want to call it that. I know Bills fans

161
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: and you know the commentators, everybody was like, Wow, this

162
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be an absolute blowout. The Bucks are looking

163
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: looking like the world champions that they are. The Bills

164
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: have no shot in this second half. Comes out and things,

165
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: and the Bills get things turned around, no question, and

166
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: and then you know, you get this to this point

167
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: where you're right. They scoring on two two touchdown drives

168
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: in a field goal to tie it up. They the

169
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: last little bit of regulation when you're going down there.

170
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: You got a chance to win the game with less

171
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: than a minute to go, and that's when one of

172
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: the non calls to Steph Diggs happened. Then you get

173
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: into overtime and then they make a call for the

174
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: Bucks on a pass interference with Levi Wallace. Um, goodness,

175
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: gracious it was. It was hard to watch. I think

176
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: the frustrating part about it as well, that final play

177
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: when the Bucks hit the crossing route and they miscommunicated

178
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: in the back end and left Tremaine Edmonds on one

179
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: of the wide outs. Big mistake is a huge miscommunication.

180
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: He had no business being on that matchup. They got

181
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: left hanging and gave up the big play to win

182
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: it and put it away quick in overtime. So the

183
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: Bills won two three and overtime. You can point the

184
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Those are the crucial downs. So the

185
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: Bills couldn't make happen last night. I think offensively when

186
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: they get the ball after the coin flip and overtime,

187
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: they couldn't make anything happen and they gave the ball

188
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: back to Tom Brady. Yeah, and you can't let those

189
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: big plays leak out like they have at times this season.

190
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: And they have been a good defense against the big plays.

191
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they have allowed I think the second fewest

192
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: plays of twenty or more yards. But it seems like

193
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: those big plays have come at the worst time possible,

194
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: when the game is online, when it really matters. And

195
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds is a great player, he was in the

196
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: wrong place, just a couple inches off from grabbing that

197
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: guy in back laying him and then let's see what

198
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: the defense can do in that position. Unfortunately, too little,

199
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: too late, the Buccaneers end up scoring, but it was

200
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: good to see the defense turn things around. They allowed

201
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: three hundred and three yards in the first half, which

202
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: they had been allowing around two hundred and seventy two

203
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: yards per game, and allow over three hundred in the

204
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: first half. In the second half, they end up getting

205
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: things together, only allowing one hundred and ten totally yards

206
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: forty four rushing yards. So good to see them contain

207
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: Leonard for net in this second half of the game.

208
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of us in the first

209
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: half we're ready to say, maybe this isn't the year

210
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. Maybe this is the team that

211
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: we've seen the last couple of weeks and things aren't

212
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: going to change. But it it was so good to

213
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: see that fight, that want, that momentum out of this

214
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: team in the second half, and they all said this

215
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: can be taken into next week. We can carry this over.

216
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: They really need to carry it over. I mean, moral

217
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: victories aren't a thing. And you look at how late

218
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: we are in the season now heading into week fifteen,

219
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: where he really can't count on world victories because the

220
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: identity of the team has already shaped itself. The playoff

221
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: picture is already clear. It's not like, hey, we're still

222
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: waiting to see what this team is in week four,

223
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: week five. Now we're in week fifteen. This is due

224
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: or die time here for this team. And if this

225
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: is the team that's coming together that we saw in

226
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: the second half, give me all of that. I want

227
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: every single part of it, because they were playing complimentary football,

228
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: which we haven't seen come together in a lot of

229
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: the games. Yeah, and One of the interesting things about

230
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: that struck me about this game was the offensive line

231
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: of the Bills. Man they it looked like it was

232
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: the first preseason game for them. In the first half,

233
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen got sacked three times on the night, got

234
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: hit eleven times, most of them I think in the

235
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: first half he was really running for his life. And

236
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: then in the second half, whatever adjustments they made, the

237
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: offensive line played better. In the second half, Josh had time,

238
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: plus I think Brian Daybole realized he had to call

239
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: some things to get the ball out of Josh's hands quick.

240
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay defense was also Their thought was they're

241
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: gonna bring pressure. You've said it a hundred times, Maddie.

242
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: The stats say Josh is not as good against pressure

243
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: as he is when you're when he's not when he's

244
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: not pressured. So they were bringing extra guys to get

245
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen quick, forcing the quick throws, and Brian

246
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: day Bole helped Josh by giving him option a couple

247
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: of options, quick short routes. After the first half, when

248
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: they started adjusting, it gave him some out, some answers,

249
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: and they were they were coming through for him. So

250
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: I think the offensive line and the help that Brian

251
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: Daybole was able to give his offensive line, and the

252
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: fact that they played better and that they got a

253
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: chance to finally in the second half give Tampa Bay

254
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: a little bit of hesitation about bringing pressure again because

255
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: they made him pay for it a couple of times

256
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: and then that and that's what you gotta do to

257
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: get him out of it. But I think it's one

258
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: of the things about this game that when you think

259
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: about Lee Frazier and Brian Dable, the adjustments they made

260
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: when they can finally get down and talk. And I

261
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: think we mentioned it last night after the Bills tonight

262
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: that you the coaching staff can talk to Josh Allen

263
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: over the headset. He comes off the field and they

264
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: talk to him, and Ken Dorsey can get in his

265
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: face and say, hey, here's what we're thinking. But when

266
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: you get in a halftime, everybody's in the room. The

267
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: offensive lines there, the running backs, the tight ends. Everybody

268
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: can hear what the coaches want to do, and so

269
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: you don't have to go down the line and have

270
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 1: it get distorted as it gets passed from the coordinator

271
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: to the quarterback, to the running backs, to the backup

272
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: quarterback to the offensive line to the tight ends. They're

273
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: all in the same room. They hear those adjustments themselves,

274
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: and it comes out better after a halftime because they

275
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: all get an idea of why they are doing what

276
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: they're doing, and that makes these guys play better. But

277
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: I thought the old line offensively, they're on the offensive

278
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: side of the ball for the Bills. I thought the

279
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: old line played way better in the second half because

280
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: the coordinator and the quarterback and the white outs, we're

281
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: helping them deal with the pressure that the Bucks were sending. Yeah,

282
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: and it's not like this pressure was anything that the

283
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: Bills were surprised about or surprised that it was going

284
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: to happen. I mean, going into this game, the Tampa

285
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers were second in the NFL with ninety quarterback hits.

286
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: Look at who their defensive line is. They have some

287
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: guys on their defensive line who really get after the

288
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: quarterback and pressure him. I mean, they were ranked third

289
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: when it come to when it came to blitz percentage

290
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: going into this game, doing it almost thirty five percent

291
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: of the time. So the riding was on the wall

292
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: for how this team was going to pressure Josh Allen

293
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that they could find a way to

294
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: find those easy wins. And it's also on Josh Allen

295
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: about taking those easy wins at times. We've heard him

296
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: say in games where he was getting pressured and Dave

297
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: Ball was putting those easy routes, those easy connections, those

298
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: checkdowns out there to him and at times wouldn't take them.

299
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: So I think that's also a step forward for Josh

300
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: Allen that he needs to consist sly take is when

301
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: he's facing that pressure, don't feel like you need to

302
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: throw that deep ball down the line of scrimmage or

303
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: down the sideline to where it could easily be intercepted.

304
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: There's those easy dump off passes that were there and

305
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: he was taking those. So kudos to Josh and to

306
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: his offense for making that come together. You talked about

307
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: halftime and what this team was able to do at halftime.

308
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: Do you think it's really them them being able to

309
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: come together that was that turned into these adjustments happening

310
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: in the third and the fourth quarter. I mean, they're

311
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: constantly making adjustments throughout the game, but we really saw

312
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: a difference in this team after coming out of halftime.

313
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: So what happens in those twelve minutes when they're all together.

314
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: That that really makes the difference, because, like we talked

315
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: about last night, you get basically no time to sit

316
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: down to talk with Sean. Your coordinators are talking with Sean,

317
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: and then to convey the message to all your players

318
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: who are in the locker room, and then you have

319
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: other things going on too, and then hey, the third

320
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: quarter begins. I think it's a little bit of magic

321
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: that happens at halftime when these adjustments happen and actually

322
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: work for a team. Yeah, it really does make a difference.

323
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: When you can talk to who everybody wants together, makes

324
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: a difference. So when you give day ball up there

325
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: in front and say, listen, this is what they think.

326
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: This is what they're doing because they think this about us.

327
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: And having the ability to tell your guys face to

328
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: face as a group saying this is what they think

329
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: about us, it gives them a clear picture of why

330
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: the adjustments are being made and what they're gonna do.

331
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: And it also gives them a chance to if they

332
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: can apply something subtle in a route or a concept

333
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: or a blocking scheme that takes advantage of what they

334
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: know the defense is thinking. It gives you a little

335
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: bit of an edge. It also gives you a lot

336
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: more cohesion when you go out there and try and

337
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: make adjustments where the offensive line is going to try

338
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: to adjust, but they haven't talked to wide receivers about

339
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: doing this adjustment. They haven't talked to the tight ends

340
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: or the running backs. And the quarter back is just

341
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: trying to let you know, let him know. You know

342
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: who the MAC is, who the MIC is. All that stuff.

343
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: You know, all that stuff is good, but you're all

344
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: doing it separately. When you get on the same page,

345
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: you can start talking to it and start to work

346
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: together and understand the bigger concept. It gives you a

347
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: little bit more cohesion and makes tense to make you

348
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: more successful. You know, you talk about this game if

349
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: you want to. And by the way, if you want

350
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: to jump into the conversation with Maddie and I, you

351
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: can call us at seven one six, eight h three

352
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: oh five fifty or one eighty eight five fifty two

353
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: five fifty two before we go on any further. Two

354
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: injuries of note that came out of the game last night.

355
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen his ankle kind of slashed foot that got

356
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: rolled up on in the fourth quarter there in the game,

357
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: and then also Emmanuel Sanders had to leave the game

358
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. He got tweaked and was questionable

359
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: to come back. Then they said he is out later

360
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: in the game. Josh was in a walking boot post

361
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: game last night when he went into the meet the media,

362
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: he walked and had a boot on, walked out. Hard

363
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: to say how that's going to affect him, No question,

364
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: He's going to probably have a couple of days off

365
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: this week in order to get that. You get rest

366
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: and recuperation. But you know, let that be allot I mean,

367
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: you know too how important Josh you think about him

368
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: last night and the difference he made in the outcome

369
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: of that game and in the way that game played out.

370
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: Obviously the outcome was what it was, but in the

371
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: way that game played out and how important he was

372
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: to that and how easy it would have been for

373
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: that to be worse than it was. On that tackle,

374
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: it's an enormous risk when you run the guy like that,

375
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be yeah, But at the end of

376
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: the day, if you don't have Josh Allen in that

377
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: second half, you don't have a chance to even tie

378
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: that game up, Josh Allen was the guy who got

379
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: it done. Yeah, he had pieces to help him along

380
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: the way. He had some great connections with Stefan Diggs,

381
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, Dawson Oxen, and Gabriel Davis along the way.

382
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: But you take Josh out of that equation, there is

383
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: no way this team is forcing over time. It was

384
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: because it was because of what he was able to

385
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: do with his legs and with his arm in that

386
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: game that really made that difference. And good thing for

387
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: Josh is that today is essentially an easy day for

388
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 1: these guys. They're going to have some meetings, There's not

389
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: too much that they're doing on the practice field today

390
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: or tomorrow, So he gets the next two days to

391
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: be in this walking boot or to do whatever he

392
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: needs to do in terms of recovering, in terms of

393
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: physical therapy on this foot, on this ankle, whatever it

394
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: may be, to hopefully set them up to where he

395
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: can practice on Wednesday, possibly be limited on Wednesday or Thursday.

396
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: We don't know what's going to happen. But it's also

397
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: nice that this game is on Sunday and not on Thursday.

398
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: They don't have a short week this week. They have

399
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: a full week to prepare, and a lot of times

400
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: a walking boot goes on just for precautionary measures. So

401
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: you're putting a walking boot on. If it's even something

402
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: slight or something small, you're probably going to put a

403
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: walking boot on just to make sure this player has

404
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: as much time as possible to feel good, to be comfy.

405
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: So who he can hopefully play on Sunday. All right,

406
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: we'll go to the clones. Now we're going to take

407
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: a call and I you know this is gonna We'll

408
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: see how this goes. I'm not very good at this.

409
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: This is Jim from Penfield. Jim, you're on with Stephen Mattie.

410
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: Go ahead, what's on your mind? You're on One Bill's Live.

411
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: Hey guys, how are you doing today? Doing great? Good? Actually,

412
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: what I wanted to say was that you guys have

413
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: pretty much covered it. I think this team is going

414
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: to be okay. I said, I'm considering yesterday the second

415
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: half as the Buffalo Bills versus the Houston Oilers comeback.

416
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to rip the place apart

417
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. And also I also would like

418
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: to say that finally, finally, can we admit that the

419
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: officiating has a tendency to favor certain teams and certain players.

420
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: They do it with Belichick, they do it with Brady,

421
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: they do it with Rogers, they do it with all

422
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: of these long time quarterbacks. And now all of a sudden, oh,

423
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: these upstart bills up. They don't deserve it. They've been

424
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: losers for so long. We get you know, we can't

425
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: let them get ahead. And I'll hang up and I'll

426
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: let you guys talk, And thanks for taking my call.

427
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: Thanks Jim, appreciate it. And it's it's I'm not even

428
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: it's the first for me usually. I mean I was,

429
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: I was really bad as a player bellyaching to officials.

430
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean I was like the absolute worst. When I

431
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: got into in the media part of it and spent

432
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: some time with some of these officials. Yeah, I get it.

433
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: It's a tough job, no question about it. They see

434
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: the game way differently and think about a way differently

435
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: than you or me, or and the fans do coaches

436
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: and players. They think about it completely differently, and it

437
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: makes it's it's an interesting dynamic. But there's it's really

438
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: hard to sit here and and not just like say, yeah,

439
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: they stunk last night. They absolutely stunk and it seemed

440
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: and I'll listen if Tampa if some fan from I'm

441
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: sure no Tampa Bay fans are listening to us today,

442
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: but I'll listen to some Tampa Bay fan come up

443
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, they should have called this and this

444
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: and this against us, you know, like if as if

445
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay had some calls that could have gone their way,

446
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: because you know, their fans watch that way more than

447
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: we do. And it'll be interesting too, It would be

448
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: interesting to hear their take on it. But I'm sitting

449
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: here today the crowd that says, hey, the officials ain't

450
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: gonna win it or loser it for you is having

451
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: a tough day today because that was a rough, rough game,

452
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: particularly in the second half last night. There's all kinds

453
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: of still photos and game flips, game clips on the

454
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: internet you can go to and just say, you know,

455
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: every every other game and every other week of the season,

456
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: that exact, the exact thing has been called, The absolute

457
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: exact thing has been called, and multiple occasions. Last night,

458
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: in the second half and in the first half, it

459
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: was not And there's nothing you can say. It was

460
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: a bad night. I don't think there's some big, dark conspiracy.

461
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: As much as Bills fans want to think that, I

462
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: just think it's a bad night by those guys against

463
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and we've and you're right, too hard

464
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: to I really have a hard time remember in a

465
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: game where it went like that against Tom Brady. He

466
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: could probably tell you there's some games that he didn't

467
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: go his way or he has some issues and whatever,

468
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: but last night wasn't one of them. It was a

469
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: rough night. And it's hard for Bills fans to sit

470
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: here and not just give a big, heavy sigh as

471
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: to what that game could have been had the calls

472
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: that we've seen made a thousand times just been called consistently. Yeah.

473
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: I saw some fans on Twitter joking about saying, hey,

474
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know there was a new rule this year

475
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: where the refts didn't call anything on Steffon Diggs, and

476
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us felt that last night

477
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: and the no calls against him. And it would be

478
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: one thing if these reffs really weren't calling things on

479
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. And we're just a group

480
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: that is known to not call as many penalties, fine,

481
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: so be it. There are groups of refs that do that.

482
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: There are groups of refs that call the most penalties

483
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: out of any other group in the NFL. But this

484
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: was a group who was calling one side one way

485
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: and calling another side the other way. Just be fair

486
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball and there's not as

487
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: big of a problem. There were some obvious no calls.

488
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean that Jersey grab, that shirt grab on Stefon

489
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: Diggs that you could count one Mississippi, two, Mississippi, three, Mississippi, four,

490
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: Mississippi and it was it was still going on. So

491
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: that's a bummer, and hopefully the next time they're in

492
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: that situation that gets called because it was crazy. But again,

493
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: it can't change, it can't go back in time. It

494
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: is what it is, and it would have been a

495
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: different game if the Bills were in a different situation

496
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: to where they didn't need calls like that to go

497
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: their way. Those are big calls that could have helped

498
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: this team out. That really helped this team out in

499
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: the game. But at the end of the day, the

500
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: Bills have to put themselves in the driver's seat to

501
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: where these halls do not affect a team like they

502
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: did last night. Yeah, I'd say it's I'm just gonna

503
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: resign myself. It's going to be one of those days

504
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: like that, So I'm going to take another call. This

505
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: is uh, this is Ronnie in West Seneca. You want

506
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: to commiment about the refs? To go ahead? Go ahead, Ronnie,

507
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: this is your chance. How are you doing, Steve Hey,

508
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: A question for you and Maddie the officiating. I've I've

509
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: watched quite a bit of football this year and officiating

510
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: throughout a lot of different games that it's been so inconsistent.

511
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just, let's face it, it stinks at times.

512
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: And with players, I mean, you were a player, Steve,

513
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: you know, you're a Hall of Fame player in my book.

514
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: But I've got a question when things went wrong coaches,

515
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: either bench you uh, you know, teams will sit, yeah,

516
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: they'll find you, you know, depending on different things. Why

517
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: can't we, you know, as a team like Pabula, impose

518
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: take it to the league and see, let's put some

519
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: fines on on blown calls, on refs that aren't making

520
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: calls and trying them accountable to some sort of fact

521
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: that there will be more consistency. And you know, how

522
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: would I say if you hit them more it hurts,

523
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: which is in their wallets. Maybe then there'll be more consistent,

524
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: you know, on calling what is supposed to be called

525
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: when it's supposed to be called. And I'm not just

526
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: talking about the Bills game last night. I'm talking about

527
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: all the games throughout. Maybe that way there'll be more

528
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: consistency if they were to impose some sort of penalties

529
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: on the reps officiating, you know, yeah, what is your

530
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: thoughts on? Sorry? Right, yeah, thanks, appreciate the call. Rnning

531
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: And that's uh, that's that's true. And he said it.

532
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: It's the word consistency is all people want. Um. That's

533
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: why it's so it seems so egregious what we're living

534
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: through today here as people look back at the game

535
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: last night, the overtime loss, it's it seems egregious because

536
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: of the inconsistency and most and I've said it to

537
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: Brownie and Maddie you know this too. If they call

538
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: the thing every play the exact same way in every

539
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: game across the league week to week, nobody will complain

540
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: about what the rules are because they'll know they'll be

541
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: able to see it. And that's where we sit today.

542
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: That's why even the national media and guys who people

543
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: who are not at all connected with Buffalo or anything

544
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: like that, are also noticing what happened last night in

545
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and saying, wait a minute, because the stuff

546
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: that they're seeing gets called every week. The play on

547
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace that our MSG viewers are looking at right

548
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: now was a different. Yeah, but just because it was

549
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: a different penalty than the one where he's been seeing

550
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: on Steph Diggs doesn't mean he's not a penalty. It was.

551
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: If they're gonna call that, which they did, what happens

552
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: when the jerseys are reversed, Why isn't that a penalty.

553
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: That's the that's the egregious nature of what we're looking at,

554
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: and that's why that Ronnie's right, it's about consistency. Nobody

555
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: cares what the rules are as long as you enforce

556
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: them fairly. Certainly, you can say, well, the games sold

557
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: in players safety and all that, and we don't like

558
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: the way they whatever, But when it comes down to

559
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: throwing penalty flags, consistency, consistency, consistency, and last night you

560
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: can say it was an aberration, but you know, we've

561
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: got people here and they'll call in and say it's

562
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: been going on all yeah, okay, fine, but man oh man,

563
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: it was rough. It was rough to live through that

564
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: last night. And that's where we're sitting and the officials do.

565
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: But here's the problem too, And when you're talking about

566
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: before before we go to break here, the officials are

567
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: upgraded and downgraded depending on how they're viewed by the league,

568
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: whether the calls are right or whether they're wrong, whether

569
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: they missed calls or make called. They they evaluate them

570
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: on every play, whether it should have been a call

571
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: and should not have been a call, whether upgraded, down graded,

572
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. They are held accountable. Here's the problem.

573
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: They'll think about this. You can downgrade them all you want,

574
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: you can say this thing all you want, but there

575
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 1: isn't like six sets of extra officials that you can

576
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: plug in and take this one off the field. You

577
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: gotta put it. You gotta keep them on the field.

578
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: There's not that many officials that of NFL caliber that

579
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: they can plug in and use in place of a

580
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: guy who's having a bad year or a bad night.

581
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: You're stuck with them. These are the guys. You got

582
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: all thirteen or fourteen or fifteen crews. I don't even

583
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: know how many it is. It's got to be at

584
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: least sixteen crews for a for a weekend, could be fifteen,

585
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: I guess with a Thursday night a team doing two

586
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: a week. But that's all the officials there are. So

587
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: if you get downgraded that many times all of a sudden,

588
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how that crew gets the four o'clock

589
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: The worst crew gets the four o'clock game on a

590
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon when the entire country's watching. I mean, so

591
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: that they are held accountable to some degree, But obviously

592
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, you know, everybody's got

593
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of vindictive nature in them today. They

594
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: want to take it out on those guys for having

595
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: a bad night at the Bill's expense. But that's what

596
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: you're where. You're sitting at consist to see his key

597
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: and you can go down grade them all you want.

598
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: Just next week they're gonna be doing another game. Yeah,

599
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: it's it's a tough look on that group. It's a

600
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: tough look for the Buffalo Bills. I hope next week

601
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: going into this Panthers game, that we are not in

602
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: the same situation where where these calls mean so much

603
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: and where these calls are so one sided in a game.

604
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: That's that's for sure. Maddie Glabs, Steve Tasker here with

Speaker 1: hanging on for us. We're gonna go to Randy in Buffalo. Randy,

615
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: you're on with Steve and Maddie. What's on your mind? Hey, Steve,

616
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: I just want to touch base with you. You know,

617
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: I know, you know, as good as you guys, as

618
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: great as you guys were, you probably want to a

619
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: lot of you know, situations like like the Bolt who's

620
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: going to now games that you've probably thought you should

621
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: have won and stuff like that. What did you guys

622
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: do as a team to stay together to h you know,

623
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: kind of kind of get past that, and I'll just listen.

624
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, you bet, thanks for the call, Randy. Yeah. Yeah.

625
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: As a team, I think you just kind of hang

626
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: in there and keep working hard, and it's easier for

627
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: the team. I've said this a lot too. After a

628
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: loss like this or win or whatever, when something bad happens,

629
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: the players tend to get over it a a little faster

630
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: than the fans do because the players just start working

631
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: towards the next game. They get over it, and they

632
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't look back. They got something else

633
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: to think about. They can't get caught up in how

634
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: they they got, you know, they got the wrong end

635
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: of a bad call or something like that. They got

636
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,239
Speaker 1: something else to think about. They're working towards the next game.

637
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: The Bills are thinking about Carolina right now, so they're

638
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: kind they kind of got to get past it. They

639
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: have no choice. Fans kind of stew on it because

640
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: they have nothing to think about until the next game.

641
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: And I think that's why that's how you kind of

642
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: hang together as players. You think about what's next on

643
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: your agenda. You gotta get ready for the next game. Yeah,

644
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: I agree, My Dad will call me after some bad

645
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: losses and be like, how are you feeling after this game,

646
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: and it's it's a bummer, of course. But like the players,

647
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: I can't imagine how quickly the players have to move

648
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: on because I am on to the next thing. We

649
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: have so many things to do throughout the week to

650
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: prepare for Sunday, whether it be getting ready for shows,

651
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: whether it be practice prep, you name it. You and

652
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: I have to move on so quickly. So the players

653
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: have to move on even more quick than we do.

654
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: So as soon as they walk into the building on Monday,

655
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: they are on to Carolina Panthers prep. After they walk

656
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: the game back, figure out what they need to correct,

657
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: what they can take away from that game and put

658
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: into the next game. I mean, there is no time

659
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: to sulk, to be upset about the loss, because there's

660
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: four games left in the season. These are games that

661
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: are must wins for the Buffalo Bills, and so they

662
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: are on to scheming up for the Carolina Panthers, what

663
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: they need to do on offense, what they need to

664
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: do on defense. There's no time to be to be

665
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: pissed off. If you're gonna be pissed off, use it

666
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: to win against the Carolina Panthers. That's right, all right,

667
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: we'll take one more Martin. Let's take another Marty from

668
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: Eastern Or Marty, you're talking about the refs make it

669
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: particularly difficult for these losses to take these losses. Go ahead, Marty. Heh, Steve,

670
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: how are you doing. It's Marty from around the corner. Hey, Maddie,

671
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,959
Speaker 1: I don't want to recatch everything. You guys pretty much

672
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: spoke about all the bad calls and everything, but you

673
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: know what, it makes us sick. I think the officials

674
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: should pay for the blood pressure medicine for these people

675
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. You know, they're lucky that they don't. They're

676
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: lucky they're not playing in the old rock piles where

677
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: they used to throw the beer bottles and beer kids

678
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,479
Speaker 1: at them. Maybe they can get a laser tag gone

679
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: or something and shoot at the officials for bad calls

680
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: and good calls, or give them a tray of snowballs

681
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: if there's snow out there, something to throw it to

682
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: these officials, because it's just it's ridiculous. Yeah, it was

683
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: to be sick. I don't even want to watch. I

684
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: don't even want to watch the games because you just

685
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: know there's gonna be bad calls. It's it's disgusting. It

686
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: really nauseates me, and I'm just really sick and tired

687
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: of it, like everybody else, I really really am. And

688
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: I'll let you guys go. You're doing a great job thing.

689
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: Thanks Marty. I appreciate it. Yeah, it's it's it's enough

690
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: to sit there and and to have your team playing

691
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: and for particularly for how long the Buffalo Bills fans

692
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: have had to wait for this, and now to have

693
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: it kind of be some of your joy be stolen

694
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: away on a game like this where you got a

695
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: chance to go in and beat the defending world champions,

696
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: You battle back after playing a poor first half, no

697
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: question about it, and get yourself in a chance to

698
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: win it, and then to have it come down to

699
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: what could have been a call that might have been

700
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: a difference in the game. You've been twenty eight seconds

701
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: left in the game, twenty five twenty eight seconds left

702
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: in the game. He'd had first in goal on the

703
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: Bucks one yard line. Yeah, it's pretty hard, non it's

704
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: pretty hard non call to swallow, particularly when it was

705
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: it seems on the service it was just so obvious. Yeah,

706
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: not not easy to watch this game back to watch

707
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: the highlights back and watch the refs not call things

708
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 1: on our side but call things on the Bucks side. Again,

709
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: we watched the highlight of of Levi getting called for

710
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: a defensive pass interference, and then we watched Stefan Diggs

711
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: and we watch what happened with the jersey grab, and

712
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: we watched what happened in the end zone, and and

713
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: it's it's not called. So it's tough when it's so

714
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: one sided. Again, we talked about it already. If you're

715
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: gonna all things called on both ends of the game,

716
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: if you're not going to call things, then don't call

717
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: things and just have it be free for all in

718
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: this game. But it sucks when you're watching things back

719
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: and when you're watching a play like that back that

720
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: that could be the determining factor in this one. But

721
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: the Bills also had had a chance to score there

722
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: and they couldn't. It's it's tough to watch this team

723
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: go three and out um in the first drive that

724
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: they got in overtime and then hand the ball to

725
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: the Bucks, who ultimately scored on that second on their

726
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: first drive the second drive of overtime. Yeah, and that

727
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: that's it was rough, um and I you know we're

728
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: hearing the you know, most of it, um, most of

729
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: it from the fans. Let's take one more call before

730
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: we get around and see what's going on around the

731
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: National Football League? Dan and Rochester. How are you doing?

732
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: What's going on? What's on your bag today? How are

733
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: you doing? Steve doing good man? Are you doing a

734
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: great job? Thank you Steve. When it was fourth and

735
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: two through the field, you think they discuss talk for

736
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: the boy there? Yeah, it's interesting. I mean at the

737
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: at the overtimer in the first half, no, in the

738
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: in the last play of the game, and then they

739
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: once for the field goal because you've been taking maybe

740
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: he's got the three yards and once for the once

741
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: of their will win. Yeah maybe, yeah, I mean everything,

742
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Yeah, and we have not talked about it.

743
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: And that's it's interesting because there's a lot of stuff

744
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: in there because no question, and I we get it

745
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: every every game, uh, that you lose and sometimes even

746
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: when you win that if you go for it on

747
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: fourth and doesn't work where you should have punted it

748
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: and if you punt it, well you should have gone

749
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: for it. And you know, particularly in the in this

750
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,919
Speaker 1: instance where you lose a close game like that, I've

751
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: never been too much And I'll say this, in the

752
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: first half, when it was fourth and two and they

753
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: take the field, they go for the field goal. The

754
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: Bills offense looked so bad in the first half. I

755
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: don't know why Sean McDermott would think they I'll get

756
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: two yards now. It's easy to do this in retrospect saying, hey,

757
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: Josh put the whole team on his back and he

758
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: played like gang. But he did in the second half.

759
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: But in the first half where they where they you know,

760
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: they try to fake punt instead of giving the ball

761
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: to Josh where they took the field goal instead of

762
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: giving it to Josh. That offense was stinking. They stunk,

763
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: So I get why McDermott might not want to hand

764
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: the football to him again. So they can, you know,

765
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: not get not converted and give their punt team a

766
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: chance to convert it because you know, maybe it'll be

767
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of a surprise. Although it's the perfect

768
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: spot to try it and kind of everybody was expecting it,

769
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: but their offense was so bad and it easy now

770
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: today after you look back at the second half that

771
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, the offensive line put together in Singletary and

772
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: Dawson and the guys are going crazy in the second half,

773
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: and they scored. They scored twenty four to three, just

774
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: like the Bucks scored twenty four to three in the

775
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: first half. It's easy to say, well, they should have

776
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: given it, yet not in the first half. They they

777
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: reeked in the first half. I was talking about the

778
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: last play there, the last play. That's a good question. Now,

779
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: that's that would be That would have been the ultimate

780
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: gutsie call, the ultimate gutsy call. And it's easy to

781
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 1: say they might have tried that instead of getting into overtime,

782
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: because they lost in overtime. But you would have won

783
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: and lost the game on that play, no question about it.

784
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: But that's you know, I would have been the ultimate

785
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: gutsie call. I appreciate you both, Thank you, you bet,

786
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: thanks Dan, appreciate you that. And that's you know, I get.

787
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: You know, people say we should have gone forward, should

788
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: have you know, all that stuff, and I whenever it

789
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: doesn't work, of course you should have done the other thing.

790
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: I mean, that's even the guys in the media up

791
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: in the press box know that, you know, I mean

792
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: they're yeah. They're very quick to say, oh, well, obviously,

793
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: since they didn't they didn't, since they punted it away

794
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: and they lost the game in the first quarter, they

795
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: should have They should have not have gone for it

796
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: in the first half when they had you know, yeah, okay,

797
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: you can say whatever you want after the fact in

798
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: the game. You can watch the rest the other ninety

799
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: plays that have to be played after that and make

800
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: your determination about that play. Back in the first half,

801
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 1: that offense was horrid in the first half. They couldn't

802
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: move it. They could you know, they stunk, So why

803
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: would you think they're gonna get that two yards on

804
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: that fourth and three down close? You take the field goal,

805
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: get on, get on the board, and let's go kick

806
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: it off, and you got it. You still got to

807
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: stop them, So I'm I don't have a problem with

808
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: that in the first half. The second half they came

809
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: out and went like Gangbusters net You could probably convince

810
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: me then in the second half where they did and

811
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: gave Davis got the first down where he carried the defender,

812
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: passed the sticks. They went for it on that fourth down.

813
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: They got it in do or die situation, I had

814
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: to have it and got it and gave themselves a

815
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: chance to tie the game. And the next player two,

816
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox catches the catches the little tight end screen

817
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: the outlet and goes down inside to get the field goal.

818
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 1: Then you get the knockle. I mean, it's one play

819
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: after another, but in the first half, take the field

820
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: goal because your offense was not having any success. Your

821
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: offensive line was overwhelmed. Am I wrong? Man? I mean,

822
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I mean, but that's what I see. No,

823
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, you're right this This team was

824
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: struggling to get completions, to get the ball into the

825
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: right people's hands, to convert in the first downs, to

826
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 1: get more first downs. I mean, they had eight first

827
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: downs in the first half of this game. They did

828
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: not convert a third down in the first half of

829
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: this game. They were oh for five in the first

830
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: half and end up being two of seven in the

831
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: second half. When you're looking at third downs, that was

832
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: another big area of this game where you convert a

833
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: couple more third downs. Maybe this game looks different and

834
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: just like the players are going to watch this game

835
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: back and pick things out from this game and improve

836
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: on things. Sean is going to do the same thing

837
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: and look at the decisions that he made on those

838
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: fourth down plays. Maybe it's maybe it's different in a

839
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: different game. He can learn things from from deciding to

840
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: go for it in certain situations and deciding to not

841
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: go for it in certain situations from this game that

842
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: may affect how he calls this week's game against the

843
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers or games down the road. I mean, these

844
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: are big learning moments for Sean McDermott as well as

845
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: the players. All Right, we're gonna take a break now.

846
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, Maddie Glab will come back. We will get

847
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: to what's going on around the national football y'all heard

848
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: about the games at What was going on? A lot

849
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: of a lot of wild stuff, a lot of defensive

850
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns early on. Are the one o'clock games yesterday, there's

851
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: a ton of defensive touchdowns yesterday. We'll talk about those

852
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: and some of the other news and notes from around

853
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: the league. Steve Tasker, Maddie Glab on Buffalo Bill's Radio.

854
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live. Josh looks to the end zone.

855
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: Fires caught touchdown Buffalo, Gabriel Davis touchdown Buffalo. It's a

856
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: Bullo game. Now it is a ball game. Hunt red Zone,

858
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: on all your real estate needs. That was the play

859
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: of the game. On the little four yard TD pass

860
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: to Gabe Davis, almost a replay of the one he

861
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: caught last week, except from the other side. Really a

862
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: nice play. Little misdirection in the backfield and Josh through

863
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: the dart, Gabe Davis came down with it. Then that

864
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: put it twenty seven twenty four and the Bills were

865
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: half and a half. Really, really a nice play. As

866
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: we're still continuing to get inundated with fans who actually

867
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: watched the game last night, and we're a little bit

868
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: distraught over some of the non calls that went against

869
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And also, you know the worst thing

870
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: about it is you lose a game like that and

871
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: you think, wow, it would have been so great. The

872
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: Bills are still in the playoffs. There's in the number

873
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: seven seed, exactly where they were when the weekend started.

874
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: The game tonight has no effect on him. It's the

875
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: Rams Cardinals tonight. So the AFC is set for the weekend.

876
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: Bills at seven and six, one of five teams at

877
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: seven and six. The Indianapolis Colts are now ahead of

878
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo because of the head to head, and the Cleveland

879
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: is just behind Buffalo, Cincinnati's behind Cleveland, and Denver is

880
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: behind all of them. At the ten spot, then you've

881
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: got three teams that have six wins apiece Pittsburgh, Las Vegas,

882
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: and Miami. Thirteen teams are within a game of the

883
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: seventh seventh playoff spot. Thirteen teams are at or are

884
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: just below or above the playoff threshold. It is an

885
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: absolute horse race coming in and that the AFC, you know,

886
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: going around the AFC, and what happened the standings following

887
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: the fourth the fourteen week the week fourteen weekend, the

888
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: Bills stay there, they're the seventh seed. The Browns hung

889
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: on to beat the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson went out

890
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: early in this contest and the Browns hang on to

891
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: win at twenty four twenty two, sprained his ankle. He

892
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: exited early, did Lamar Jackson. Then, of course you heard Maddie,

893
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: did you see the Raiders pregame, go out and have

894
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: a little team meeting on the logo in the middle

895
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: of Arrowhead Stadium, and then proceeded to get throttled forty

896
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: eight to nine by the Chiefs. What'd you did? You got?

897
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: You played competitive fast pitch. Was there any of that

898
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: stuff going on in your league where a team would

899
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: kind of like come out and dance on your logo

900
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: and like challenge you almost? I mean, if there was,

901
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: our team would get really mad about it and make

902
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: sure we gave it to them in game. But I

903
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: think one of the funniest things from that Chiefs Raiders

904
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: game is we know what happened when the Raiders beat

905
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They took an extra lap on the bus

906
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: after the game. Well after the game ended. What did

907
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs do? They played the wheels on the bus

908
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: go round and round throughout the loudspeakers at the stadium.

909
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: So I think that is absolutely hilarious. You dance on

910
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: our logo and we're gonna say bye to you in

911
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: a funny way. But yeah, forty eight to nine. I

912
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 1: mean the Kent City Chiefs defense over the last few weeks,

913
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: they have been after it and have done such a

914
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: great job they had They forced five turnovers yesterday. I

915
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: wanted to check that number to make sure it was right.

916
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: I heard it this morning and was like that, what huh, Yeah,

917
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: five turnovers against the Raiders. Yeah, that was his team

918
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: has been hot, their offenses back. I mean, here the

919
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs come again. Let's see what type of run they

920
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: can make the rest of the season and in the playoffs,

921
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: because they're playing some really great football right now. Yeah

922
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 1: they are. And then if you go go okay across

923
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: the league, the Titans dominate the Jaguars. Jacksonville was handed

924
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: its first home shutout loss since the year two thousand

925
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: and Urban. Meyer also denies the reports the Jaguar about

926
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: the Jaguars that somebody leaks some information about Urban and

927
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: the way he treated his staff in a in a meeting.

928
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: He says there is no If there's a source, that

929
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: source is unemployed. And also another nice thing that happened

930
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: over the weekend the tragic death of Damarrius Thomas, the

931
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: Broncos former draft pick and he played around the league

932
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: in a couple of different places. Damarius Thomas, who caught

933
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: the Tim Tebow touchdown pass against the Steelers and the

934
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: playoffs back in the day to advance the Bronchos further

935
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: into the playoffs that year. Yesterday, the Broncos on the

936
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: first play of the game, lined up with just ten

937
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: men on offense, stood there, did not snap the ball.

938
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: They stood there in silence and let the play clock

939
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: run out to take a penalty. And and yet another

940
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: another move that is that earned some respect around the league,

941
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell of the Detroit Lions, the team on the

942
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, declined the penalty stand up

943
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: move by both those clubs. Damarius Thomas, who was by

944
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: all accounts a phenomenal human being, taken all two tragically,

945
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: I believe, at the age of thirty three, very young,

946
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: just over the weekend, and the Broncos commemorating him during

947
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 1: the game by taking a delayed game penalty. That was

948
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: I thought that was a really nice move and it

949
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: reminds you of the humanity that these guys feel for

950
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: each other. I was really touched by that. Yeah, And

951
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: we saw all weeks so many different players from so

952
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: many different teams across the NFL we're posting about Demarrius

953
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: Thomas and teammate that he was and how much he

954
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: will be missed. I mean, Emmanuel Sanders played with him

955
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: for a few years. Isaiah McKenzie played with him as well,

956
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: so it seemed like just about every team in the

957
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: NFL and so many players were touched by the loss

958
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: of Demarrius Thomas. So good to see him continue to

959
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: be honored. I'm sure he will throughout the rest of

960
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: the season, especially in Denver. Yeah, good job. Kudos the

961
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: Broncos and the Lions for that. Also, the LA Chargers,

962
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 1: in a win over the Giants, Justin Herbert became the

963
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: first player in NFL history to have thirty touchdown passes

964
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: in each of his first two NFL seasons. The Chargers

965
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: with a thirty seven twenty one win over the New

966
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: York Giants. And I don't know if you saw this highlight,

967
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: but Justin Herbert rolled out to his ride, evaded a

968
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: little pressure, and he threw a ball sixty I think

969
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: sixty six sixty seven yards in the air on the

970
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: run right down the pipe for a touchdown in La.

971
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 1: It was pretty unbelievable throw. People were the Internet broke

972
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 1: for a minute watching what he did with that throw,

973
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 1: and it was it was pretty spectacular. But Justin Herbert

974
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: continues to be extremely impressive in his second year starting

975
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Chargers. It's amazing too, because the Chargers

976
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: finished up so strong last year and then he had

977
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 1: some higher expectations this year. Now you know, they took

978
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: him a while to get it going. But they are

979
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: the five seed in the AFC right now, they're in

980
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So Justin Herbert coming on playing extremely well

981
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 1: and the Chargers do and just what it takes at

982
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: eight and five to trail the Kansas City Chiefs at

983
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: nine and four in the AFC West. That's a tight division.

984
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: But the Chargers are hanging in there. Yeah, they play

985
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this week. Then they've got the Texans, the Broncos,

986
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: and the Raiders to finish out the season. With the

987
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: quarterback like Justin Herbert, this team has got to be

988
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: feeling good about their chances the rest of the season.

989
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: All right, Steve Tasker, Maddi glab We're gonna take a break,

990
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back. Chris Brown will probably join us

991
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: at some point in the last couple of hours of

992
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 1: the show. We've also got a lot of other stuff

993
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: coming up. And it just escaped me. Order. Oh yeah,

994
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: we got sound from the players post game last night.

995
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: Come back and listen to that post Blocker room postgame

996
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: sound from the players. Steve Tasker Maddi glab on Buffalo

997
00:50:45,000 --> 00:51:04,760
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. This is one Bills Live at a Steve

998
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 1: Tasker who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique.

999
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

1000
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the strategy of normalcy.

1001
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker and Maddie Glad back with you here in

1002
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: the next couple of hours of the show. We're gonna

1003
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: go ahead and we're gonna take a couple of calls.

1004
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: There's a couple of guys, Tom, Victor Kevin. You guys

1005
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: have been waiting patiently for quite some time while we've

1006
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: been talking about other things. We'll get to Tom in Idaho. Tom,

1007
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? You're on with Steve and Maddie. Oh,

1008
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: thank you, Steve. I'm actually in Rochester. I'm not sure

1009
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 1: what happened, but my heart tonightah. I guess all right now, Steve,

1010
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: who did me for complimenting you? But you know we

1011
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: can't do it enough. I appreciate what you did for

1012
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: the team those in the glory years. And I had

1013
00:51:55,840 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: a banner that I hung on the bill side Tasker time.

1014
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: It was huge letters. I'm not sure you ever saw it.

1015
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: But anyhow, thank you for everything I was at all

1016
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: for AFC, you know, victories, championship victories, and I am bragging.

1017
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: I was at the greatest comeback game. I was the

1018
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: may Day goal. I was at the longest saber game

1019
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: in history, and so my heart's always in Buffalo. But

1020
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: watching these games sometimes I can't you know, when when

1021
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: our players create a penalty, I don't sit there and

1022
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: gripe and moan. You know, you know it's a penalty,

1023
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: especially when they're not looking back at the ball and

1024
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 1: they got their hands up in the air and blocking

1025
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: the person. But there was those two calls against the

1026
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 1: other team, not to beat a dead horse. We're very,

1027
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 1: very noticeable. And I also think we should have gone

1028
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: for it on that fourth down play, the second fourth

1029
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: down play. So anyhow, I just appreciate everything you do, Steve,

1030
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,919
Speaker 1: and you need to be in the Hall of Fame.

1031
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 1: And I work in radio here in Rochester, host of

1032
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: jazz program for about forty years, and one time I

1033
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 1: got up in Ted Darling's booth. Okay, So anyhow, thanks,

1034
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: thanks guys for what you do, and God bless you. Steve.

1035
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Tom, thank you very much. That's it's nice

1036
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: to hear, and you're right. It's sometimes it's you know,

1037
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: you start to bawl all of it up together, you know,

1038
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: the you know, the no goal for the Sabers, the

1039
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: wide right, you know, all of that stuff. It gets

1040
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: balled into one big thing, like like, you know, we

1041
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: kind of get the idea that we're all Charlie Brown

1042
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo and nothing's ever gonna go away. I

1043
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: don't believe that. Um, I don't believe it at all.

1044
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm kind of with him. I'm we hear

1045
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: in Buffalo have some a lot of scar tissue. Um,

1046
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: but we've got thick skin too, so we can we

1047
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: can kind of handle the abuse. I think more so

1048
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: than other fan basis, what do you think, mad Hey,

1049
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm a Cubs fan, So coming from a Cubs fan

1050
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: who thought the same thing for so many years and

1051
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: then he finally won the World Series in twenty sixteen,

1052
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: is coming for Buffalo. You just got to hang in there,

1053
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: be patient. I mean, I don't know when the Cubs

1054
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: will win another World Series. They're a mess right now,

1055
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 1: but at least they have one. And like my dad said,

1056
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: he can die happy. There you go. That's it now,

1057
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: all right, we're going to take two more calls, Victor

1058
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: and Kevin. Victor. We're gonna start with you, Victor in Wheatfield.

1059
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 1: What's on your mind? Hey, Steve, obviously frustrated from yesterday

1060
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: the officiating. Someone want to bring up that you brought

1061
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 1: brought up a couple weeks going a Tennessee game when

1062
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: the official line of field ruled the first down when

1063
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: Josh was near the goal line. There the sky judge

1064
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: overrules it. Why didn't the sky judge overrule these calls yesterday?

1065
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: If you remember the Saints Rams games a couple of

1066
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: years ago, blatant interference call, they didn't call it. That's

1067
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: why they brought this guy in. I'm not saying you

1068
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: got to overrule every call, it's impossible, but something like that,

1069
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: it's once it going to stop for the Buffalo Bills.

1070
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: Like an earlier caller said, balotcheck Bradiant, they all get

1071
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: the brakes. We don't. We're just very frustrated here one

1072
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: is it going to stop? And if not, gonna have

1073
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: the sky judge up there just to sit there and

1074
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: fall asleep they get rid of them. Yeah, that's interesting

1075
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the call. I appreciate the call of

1076
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,879
Speaker 1: Victor that was you're right. The sky judges and there

1077
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: are some game you watch some games around the league,

1078
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: and they will make a change without announcing, and they

1079
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: don't announce the sky judge adjustments, and what they'll do

1080
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,959
Speaker 1: is respot the ball, or they'll give him the first

1081
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 1: down or not. If the sky judge is upstairs, they

1082
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 1: know that's he'll get it. He'll just do it automatically. Now,

1083
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 1: the problem is all the calls we're talking about, except

1084
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: for the except for the fact that we've all seen

1085
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: him called a thousand times, they're all judgment calls. You

1086
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: can't review judgment calls. You know, you can't on a

1087
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: turnover whether the guy was down or not, or where

1088
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback's hand was empty. But you can't review and

1089
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: call a penalty that was called that was not called.

1090
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: You can't call a penalty. But if the game has

1091
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: stopped for something else, another thing, you can. You can

1092
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: spot the ball correctly or say that, hey, yeah, the

1093
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: ball did like like they did against in in the

1094
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 1: game where the New England game when the guy when

1095
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: the ball glanced off the guy's helmet, they don't have

1096
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: to review that or call forward or whatever. The sky

1097
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,439
Speaker 1: judge says, yeah, spot it right there, it's the Bill's ball.

1098
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: So they do adjust the game as they go, and

1099
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: they do it to expedite the speed of play. But

1100
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: when you get a judgment call like all pass interference

1101
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: and holding and all that stuff is, you can't review that,

1102
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: and you can't the sky judge cannot call penalties, so

1103
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: the non calls are non starters. That's the way that works.

1104
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: That's the way you understood it, Maddie, Yeah, definitely. I

1105
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: mean it's sometimes a tough pill to swallow that you

1106
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 1: get that sky judge on certain things but not other things.

1107
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: We'll see if that ever changes down the road. I mean,

1108
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: the sky judge was a new thing at some point,

1109
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 1: so I'm sure there's going to be changes that come

1110
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: to how ref's ref a game, whether that's this season,

1111
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,720
Speaker 1: next season, I mean every season that stars. There's always

1112
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: new rules, new things that are being implemented, new ways

1113
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 1: that refs are calling things, different things that they're paying

1114
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: attention to more. Um So tough. Again, like we've said

1115
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: several times already, it sucks that some of those calls

1116
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: went that way or did not go our way. But yeah,

1117
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: the non calls are particularly egregious to me, and I

1118
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: just think it's because those guys just they just lose

1119
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: their They just turned into cowards back there. They don't

1120
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:31,919
Speaker 1: want to They don't want to make that call because

1121
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: they understand what an egregious penalty it is and how

1122
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: difficult this, you know, the crucial spot of the game

1123
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: that it is, and all of a sudden they just

1124
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. And that's not the guys

1125
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: you want to have making calls like that. Let's take

1126
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: Kevin and Hamburg. Kevin for taking my call. You bet,

1127
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: go ahead, Kevin, um Well, I see is I depense.

1128
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: I know is one of the best is stopping big

1129
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: plays and all that. But the last over the last

1130
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: two months, we've had a third team of one hundred

1131
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: yards or more against us, which makes me sort of

1132
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: in my opinion, think we could the biggest start of

1133
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: the tool he is, we could use another big body

1134
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: in there. That reminds me. I'm sure Maddie you know

1135
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: this because you're from Chicago. That reminds me of your

1136
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: old buddy the Fridge, who weighed like three hundred and fifty.

1137
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: And the reason why the Fridge was so great, as

1138
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: good as he was and cool as he was, is

1139
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: you have that much hog in space of other team

1140
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 1: or other blockers on the offensive side. You can't help

1141
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: but getting the other guys in there and then know

1142
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: them were good. But when he came, they made him

1143
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: better because you hug up all that space that he did.

1144
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: You can't help but get other guys going in there

1145
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: and other linebackers. And one more thing, Maddie, if you

1146
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: ever get back to Chicago, tell him the Fridge. He

1147
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: is a fan from Buffalo that thinks he was awesome.

1148
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Kevin appreciated them, did you yet?

1149
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,040
Speaker 1: The Fridge was before your time, was he not? It

1150
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: was before my time. But I mean those years for

1151
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears are talked about like the four Super

1152
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: Bowls are talked about here in Buffalo. I mean, my

1153
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: dad would tell me about that Chicago Bears defense all

1154
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: the time and what they looked like and how great

1155
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: they were. And I walk into the job with the

1156
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and I'm like, Leslie Fraser's the defensive coordinator.

1157
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: He was such a good player for the Chicago Bears

1158
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: during those years, so I'm very familiar with what that

1159
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: team looked like during the I was at Northwestern University

1160
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: between nineteen eighty two and nineteen eighty five, so I

1161
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: watched the Bears ascend with Mike Ditka and get better

1162
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: and better than the eighty five team. You know, we

1163
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: were all fans of that team. And I was sitting

1164
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: I was just right along the shore, right there on

1165
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: Lake Lake Michigan, about ten miles north of the of

1166
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 1: the stadium. We'd watch the Bears games at home on Sundays.

1167
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: At one I'll tell you the true story. You know,

1168
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: there's some military complex, you know, Navy piers there and

1169
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: all that. We're sitting there watching a Bears game, and

1170
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: out our window on campus at Northwestern, a big military

1171
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: helicopter comes flying by low just off on Lake Michigan.

1172
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: He's in over the water, but real close to shore,

1173
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: and the campus for Northwestern was right there. So the

1174
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: chopper goes by, and we're watching the eighty five Bears

1175
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 1: play at home, and five minutes later, two minutes later,

1176
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: three minutes later, over the broadcast of the game, you

1177
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: could hear the same chopper going by the stadium right

1178
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: So we were right there for all of that, and

1179
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the Bears would come up to Northwestern's football stadium on

1180
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: rainy days in practice because the turf was outside and

1181
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 1: they needed a place to practice outside on artificial surface,

1182
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: so the Bears would come. That's where I met Walter Payton,

1183
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: so and Ron Rivera. Most people forget Ron Rivera was

1184
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:55,439
Speaker 1: a part of that eighty five Bears team as well. So, yeah,

1185
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: the eighty five Bears team carries a lot of weight.

1186
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: And you know, Fridge was fun, but he wasn't as

1187
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: good a players. The rest of those guys were living legends. Yeah,

1188
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, some living legends on that roster. And I

1189
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: want to go back to a point that he also

1190
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: made about the Bills letting up some big plays. And

1191
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,439
Speaker 1: like I said, going into this game, they were one

1192
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: of the best in the NFL. Let me check this

1193
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: stat They allowed twenty six plays of at least twenty yards,

1194
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: which ranked first in the NFL going into this Bucks game.

1195
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: But if you look at how they've defended big plays

1196
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: since Week nine, that Jacksonville Jaguars loss the Buffalo Bills

1197
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: rank eighteenth, they've given up eighteen plays of at least

1198
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: twenty yards. So yeah, in the second half of the season.

1199
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: That big blake defense that was so good has definitely

1200
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: fallen off a bit. Let's see if they can get

1201
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: back to those ways of defending deep balls and defending

1202
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: those big rushes that have seemed to leak out at

1203
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: times against this defense, rushes of ten or more yards.

1204
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: We saw one by Leonard for Nette last night. They

1205
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: were able to limit him in the second half. He

1206
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: had seventy two rushing yards in the in the first

1207
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:10,439
Speaker 1: half there and then had thirty seven in the second half.

1208
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: So again, hopefully they can carry things like this into

1209
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 1: next week's game. All right, we'll take We'll take one

1210
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 1: more call here from Jeff into Pete. Jeff, you're on

1211
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: with Stephen Maddie. What's on your mind? Hey, Steven, Jeff

1212
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: from the I'm a baseball umpire, and I'll tell you what.

1213
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: Anytime a referee can do whatever he wants, he runs

1214
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: the game out there, and yesterday was disgusting. And it's

1215
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: been there for a long time. It's not just yesterday

1216
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: or this and that. It went back the when Don

1217
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: Shula was coaching and running up being on the board

1218
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: with the umpire or the referees. I mean there were

1219
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: so many calls yesterday that was disgusting. A holding on

1220
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: days in the middle of the field, yep, just before,

1221
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: just before the play that they scored grind Kouski, the

1222
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: illegal block in the back, yeah, plus a pass interference.

1223
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's discussed these guys running the game. Yeah, thanks, Jeff,

1224
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate. Yeah, you're right. And that's and that's what's

1225
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: got people up in arms today is and I'll say this,

1226
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: and I've said it, I'll say it again, if they

1227
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: just call it the same everywhere all the time, nobody

1228
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: cares what it's going to be. If you don't. If

1229
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: you can't touch a wide receiver until they catch the ball,

1230
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: then call it that way. But you got to call

1231
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: it that way all the time, every situation. And I

1232
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: think what gets people riled, particularly here in Buffalo, was

1233
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: when you see it called like this against everybody else,

1234
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 1: against us, against other teams, and then you don't get

1235
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: it called. And this isn't just like the one play

1236
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: at the end of regulation for Steph Diggs getting his

1237
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: collar hold down to past his chest plate on his

1238
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: on his jersey right there in the corner of the

1239
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: end zone. This is also like he said, in the

1240
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: middle of the field in the first half, where the

1241
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: guy's got got his shirt stretched out three feet and

1242
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: there's no call. And then at the other time on

1243
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: the fourth down, when he turns around and goes up,

1244
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: tries to jump and the guy's got his shoulder and

1245
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: pulls him off balance in the mid in mid air

1246
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: before the ball gets there. And there's other you know,

1247
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: and go down the list, and he mentioned it blocking

1248
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,640
Speaker 1: the back by Groundkowski. I never saw that there's play

1249
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: after play after play that seems to be non calls

1250
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: only where Buffalo is the beneficiary, and they never get

1251
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: those calls. So that's that's the problem. And I don't

1252
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: know whether and I you know, I don't, like I said,

1253
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't suspect any sinister plot. I

1254
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: don't suspect any any dark forces that are trying to

1255
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: tilt the entire landscape away from the Buffalo bills. I

1256
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: don't think that's any of it. But there's no question

1257
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: that last night was a bad night for the Zebras,

1258
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: a bad night for the Zebras, and you kind of

1259
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: got to live like that, right, I Mean, that's that's

1260
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: the way I see it. I don't. I mean, I've

1261
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: I've interacted with those guys too much to think there's

1262
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 1: any big dark conspiracy because there just isn't. But man,

1263
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,439
Speaker 1: oh man, they do have bad nights, and we saw

1264
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: one last night, and I think, like after a game

1265
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: like last night, I think what fans want from refs

1266
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: is transparency. They want to know where the calls were wrong.

1267
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 1: They want the refs to admit that they miss some

1268
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: calls here or there, and they want to know, Okay,

1269
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: what are you going to do about this going forward?

1270
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: How can we know that this isn't going to be

1271
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 1: the same next week or the week after or when

1272
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: we see this crew again. And that's the tough thing.

1273
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 1: You just you you don't get that you don't know

1274
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: the next game that the ref is going to call

1275
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: it better than they did the game before. You don't

1276
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: you don't know what the crew is going to look

1277
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: like or if they're going to call a different game

1278
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: than they did the week before. Right, Mattie, thanks for

1279
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 1: coming in, and we appreciate you taking the time. I

1280
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: know this was Yeoman's effort. We're up last night doing

1281
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: bills tonight, and it was you know, it's a late

1282
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: night anytime you get a later game, so I appreciate that.

1283
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming in here and being with us today.

1284
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: Chris Brown's gonna come back on with his health remote

1285
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: after he arrived in from Tampa Bay this morning. Finally

1286
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 1: get a chance to see him and get his take

1287
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: on what he saw last night. Mattie Glab, thanks so

1288
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 1: much for doing it. We're gonna take a break, Steve Tasker,

1289
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab, Chris Brown. After the break. This is One

1290
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: Bills Live on Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back

1291
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: to One Bills Live. Chris Brown back in the chair

1292
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 1: here with Steve Tasker on a Buffalo football Monday. First,

1293
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: my thanks to Mattie Glab for helping us out as

1294
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 1: my travel arrangements only got me in here a short

1295
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: time ago was a print to the house and getting

1296
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: up on the air. But good to be with you

1297
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: here on a difficult Monday, admittedly, but still in all

1298
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: I think if you're pulling positives from this one, and

1299
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure you and Maddie have addressed this, Steve, I

1300
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: think they found something in their offensive rhythm that I

1301
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 1: hope they can carry into next week. And I think

1302
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't surprised driving here from the airport to hear

1303
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 1: the ire and frustration with the officiating. I get it

1304
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and I know it's not the first time.

1305
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, when I was driving back

1306
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: to my hotel last night after getting my writing assignments

1307
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: done after the game, the first thing I thought of,

1308
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: and maybe it's because because of the COVID restrictions, I

1309
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: haven't traveled with the team in almost two years now,

1310
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 1: I thought about the last time I had gone on

1311
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: some kind of long trip to cover the team, and

1312
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: I was reminded of the London game when the team

1313
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: overcame a giant deficit, came back, tied the game, and

1314
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: then got robbed or jobbed on a pass interference call

1315
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: on the kill roby Coleman that did not exist, and

1316
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 1: Jacksonville got a fresh set of downs, went down, kicked

1317
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: the game winning field goal. Bills lose thirty one twenty eight. Now,

1318
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: this is why the Bills fan base is as ticked

1319
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: off as they are, because history just keeps repeating itself

1320
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: with lousy officiating. And it's not it's not a lousy

1321
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 1: call that just gives a team an extra set of downs.

1322
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: It's impacting the outcome of the game. And I understand,

1323
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: and coach even said it afterwards. He even said it afterwards. Look,

1324
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: we can't rely on officials calls to win US or

1325
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: lose US football games. You gotta make your own breaks.

1326
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 1: And I had coaches that said the same thing. Doesn't

1327
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 1: take the sting out of it at all. That's yeah,

1328
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: I get it. And we've we've been talking about just

1329
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,600
Speaker 1: the inconsistency that makes it so frustrating. It's it is

1330
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 1: one here, it's not one there. Um and the consistent

1331
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: non calls on Steph Diggs when he's got his jersey

1332
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 1: being pulled off his shoulder pads. It's just you know,

1333
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 1: you see it called a thousand times out of a thousand,

1334
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: and then you don't see it called against you know,

1335
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs on the on three or two or three

1336
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 1: maybe three plays during the game, and he just don't

1337
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,599
Speaker 1: get it. It just do not get it. And uh,

1338
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty frustrating, no question about it. And that's

1339
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's where we're kind of sitting today, is

1340
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 1: where you know where how you feel about it? This

1341
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: game to me, you said it reminded you of the

1342
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 1: of the London game. This game reminded me more of

1343
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: the Hail Murray game where Josh came down, had a

1344
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: chance and it should have been it should have been

1345
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: a pass interference right there at the one yard line

1346
01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: when when when Diggs got pulled down, it is unbelievable

1347
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 1: got assaulted. Yeah, and then so you know, you go in,

1348
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 1: you score the touchdown, and then you know would have

1349
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: taken you know, you got Tom Brady coming down in

1350
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:10,560
Speaker 1: twenty four seconds to throw at hell Mary. That's what

1351
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:12,759
Speaker 1: this game was headed to me, like the big comeback.

1352
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: The Bills were down in that game in Arizona and

1353
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: Josh throws that laser beam into the back corner of

1354
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 1: the end zone to Steph Diggs dive and catch. You

1355
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: go up with you go up by two or four

1356
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: or five, I don't know what. You go up by

1357
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 1: five with twenty four seconds left and you lose that game.

1358
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 1: That's what this game head was headed for to me,

1359
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: that the Bills were going to score there, They were

1360
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: gonna score a touchdown there and forced Tom Brady to

1361
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 1: come back and do something like that to win it.

1362
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: And I think that's just you know the fact that

1363
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: the non call doesn't happen takes away that opportunity of

1364
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: twenty eight seconds left. They have first and goal on

1365
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: the one, and they end up trying to they end

1366
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:54,879
Speaker 1: up having to tie it up and go to ot. Yeah,

1367
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: that was tough at the end because you kind of

1368
01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 1: felt like they had it and if they could just

1369
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: hunch it in, they're gonna win the football game. Even

1370
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: the clock was working in their favor to not leave

1371
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Brady enough time should they score. You know, a player

1372
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: two earlier than ideally suited to the time on the clock,

1373
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 1: you still weren't going to leave him with much and

1374
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,600
Speaker 1: I know it doesn't need much very often, but you

1375
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: felt good about it. So settling for that field goal

1376
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: to tie it and force overtime, it was like, you know,

1377
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: it gives you ankst just because of what you've seen

1378
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: Brady do so many times thirty four times to be right.

1379
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: Then then they win the coin to us though, and

1380
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, hope springs eternal again. Yeah, that was tough

1381
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 1: that that first series went the way it did. That

1382
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 1: was a tough three and out there to start overtime.

1383
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that was that was the crusher, I

1384
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 1: thought right there, because he really felt like you had

1385
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: the momentum going into ot with the drives that you

1386
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: put together there, but then again too, going touchdown, touchdown

1387
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:54,480
Speaker 1: field goal to end the game and send it to overtime.

1388
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: It might be too much to ask you go force

1389
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 1: straight against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, defending world champions. Go

1390
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: four straight scoring drives in a row to end a game.

1391
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: That's a lot to ask. Yeah, I think it is.

1392
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,760
Speaker 1: The thing that just worried me was as soon as

1393
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: you went three and out, you know, you gave the

1394
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: best quarterback to ever play the game another chance, and

1395
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,679
Speaker 1: you can't give him more than a couple of chances

1396
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: because he is going to eventually make you pay. And

1397
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:24,759
Speaker 1: unfortunately that's what happened. But let's go to the phones,

1398
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 1: all right, Go to the phone. So I was gonna

1399
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 1: ask you one thing. We talked about it, Magic and

1400
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: I had talked about it. What did you think in

1401
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: the first half about his not going for taking the

1402
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: few goalstead of going forward on fourth and short, fourth

1403
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 1: and two or fourth and three or whatever it was.

1404
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:39,880
Speaker 1: We're talking about the one that made a ten to

1405
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 1: three y or yes, early in the game, early in

1406
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:49,720
Speaker 1: the game. I think with I always try to not

1407
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: treat the scenario in a vacuum, which, unfortunately, I think

1408
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot of fans just look at it and say,

1409
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: what do the analytics say? Does it say you got

1410
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: a sixty percent chance to get it here? Well, then

1411
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: just do it. And I try to incorporate what's going

1412
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 1: on in the game at the time, and how the

1413
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 1: defense is playing, and where you are on the field.

1414
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: So at that point in the game, it was ten nothing,

1415
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: the Bills were not doing much on offense at all, right,

1416
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 1: and I think coach McDermott on that first one was thinking,

1417
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 1: let's get some points, Let's build a little bit of momentum,

1418
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: let's eat into this lead, let's not worry about getting

1419
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 1: it all back on converting a fourth in three. I

1420
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: didn't hate it. I understand the argument to go for

1421
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: it and be aggressive, which I think is, at least

1422
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: from what I saw on social media, a prevailing public

1423
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: opinion that this team needs to be more aggressive. You

1424
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: may need to be now going forward with your margin

1425
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 1: for error even further reduced in terms of winning foot

1426
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: ball games down the stretch here. But in that particular situation,

1427
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: that first one, I can see where coaches coming from

1428
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,759
Speaker 1: and saying, look, let's just get some points on the board,

1429
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: Let's get some momentum and see if that can generate

1430
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,759
Speaker 1: some more success. I was with it. I was okay

1431
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: with it because the offense was stinking. This wasn't the

1432
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Bill's offense that played in the second half. This was

1433
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 1: the first half offense they were. They were That's what

1434
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean. Their offensive line was getting overwhelmed. The Buck's

1435
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 1: plan was to pressure Josh Allen in the pocket and

1436
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: get after him, and the offensive line struggled, so I

1437
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 1: had zero faith that they could convert that in that

1438
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 1: spot when called upon now in the second half, when

1439
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:43,600
Speaker 1: they make the throw to Gabe Davis, he carries the

1440
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: guy across the sticks, okay, and do or die? You

1441
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 1: had to have it. You got it. But I don't know.

1442
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 1: I thought going for the field goal was fined. Certainly.

1443
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: The one I thought that he might have gone for

1444
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 1: was before they ran the fake punt, And I think

1445
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: that was the same rationale that I just spoke about.

1446
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 1: The offense was struggling, their offensive line was struggling in

1447
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: the first half, and go out there and see if

1448
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: you can catch the Bucks off guard or out of

1449
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit by surprise, give yourself a

1450
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 1: chance to do it some other way, because your offense

1451
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: was instilling no confidence that it could pick up two yards.

1452
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: And of course then the fake, the fake punt gets

1453
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: snapped off pretty quick, right, for the same reason, because

1454
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: again the protection was not there. There was too much

1455
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:37,600
Speaker 1: penetration by two different players, and it blew up the

1456
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: whole play and delayed its execution. Brita had to hold

1457
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 1: up because the lead block around the edge got pushed

1458
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: back into him, and then there was interior penetration as

1459
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: well that caught him from behind. So again, you know,

1460
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's been some talk about line play today. Also,

1461
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 1: it's it's one of the reasons why, as you said,

1462
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 1: they probably tried to go for a different look on

1463
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: special teams, but unfortunately special teams couldn't execute protect block

1464
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: to run that play effectively. Breathe his speed never got

1465
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: an opportunity to manifest itself on the play because of

1466
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: the penetration, right, And that's but I get the I

1467
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 1: get the rationale behind both those decisions, and that's the reason.

1468
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 1: It was the reason that they were struggling so bad

1469
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: upfront offensively, and you really kind of didn't want to

1470
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 1: go for it there, so you wanted to just try

1471
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: and catch him off guard on a play you never

1472
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 1: showed before, and let's see if they could do it.

1473
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,680
Speaker 1: And and the Bucks were up to it. Tip your

1474
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:38,879
Speaker 1: hat to them. Certainly, the Bills didn't execute it perfectly,

1475
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,680
Speaker 1: but you gotta I like the way they kind of

1476
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 1: went for it, but without going for it, you know,

1477
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 1: because the offense to me, was floundering in that first

1478
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:51,759
Speaker 1: half and it was all happening upfront, which doesn't instill

1479
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: confidence to get a tough two yards. So I was,

1480
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: I was. I was kind of with him on both

1481
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: those fourth down calls, and I understood it exactly. I

1482
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are just aside themselves because

1483
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 1: they think it, you know, you had to go. I

1484
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,679
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. The way they were playing

1485
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: on that first half was pretty bad. Yeah, And I

1486
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: know I mentioned this the last time we had a

1487
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: fourth down discussion a few weeks ago. You also have

1488
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: to take into account what has your team been on

1489
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: fourth down all year? Coming into this game, they were

1490
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:22,719
Speaker 1: four to twelve, I mean, twenty five percent and most

1491
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: and you have to know that most of those fourth

1492
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: downs are short yardage. So your fourth and twelve in

1493
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: mostly short yardage situations on fourth down for the season.

1494
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, then double down and say the offensive line

1495
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,440
Speaker 1: is having struggles protecting winning at the line of scrimmage.

1496
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 1: So it's hard to as a coach, with the way

1497
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 1: the game is going, with the history of their performance

1498
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:52,639
Speaker 1: on fourth down through the course of the season, to say,

1499
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna do it. It doesn't matter,

1500
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna go where. On the other side of that coin,

1501
01:17:57,840 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: you got one of the best kickers in the league.

1502
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 1: It's a chip shot field goal. Put some points on

1503
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 1: the board. See if you get some momentum, you want

1504
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:05,759
Speaker 1: to talk about the one later in the game, I'll listen.

1505
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 1: I will. But that first one, you just had to

1506
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:11,759
Speaker 1: get the ball roll in there in some way, shape

1507
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 1: or form before the score got out of control. Tim

1508
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 1: in Florida, you're on one Bill's Live. What do you

1509
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: have for us? Tim? So the course, uh man, this

1510
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: was a close game. I felt both teams were eatingly

1511
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:30,600
Speaker 1: match somewhat, you know, so I didn't think it was

1512
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a blowout for the first half. Was surprising

1513
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,719
Speaker 1: to me. See Buffalo lose Light have much because Tampa

1514
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 1: maybe though the world chance, but they're not the same

1515
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 1: team as last year. They're not executing, especially on defense.

1516
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: Their secondary is poor. So I thought we would be

1517
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: able to taking more shots down the view, but Josh

1518
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: didn't have the time. So but I didn't think the

1519
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: Bills were gonna make the playoffs this year or even

1520
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: be as good as last year, because I have to

1521
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: say the draft, they in the dress some of the

1522
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,759
Speaker 1: needs that they that were you know, lacking last season,

1523
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, the running backs and the d line and

1524
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: some of the offensive line positions. But I think it's

1525
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: going to missyear's draft. If they can address those knees,

1526
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 1: I think would be a super bowling gender man, because

1527
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean we got the team that just small things

1528
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 1: that were left, all right, Tim, appreciate the call, Steve,

1529
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't know about you. I kind of I understand

1530
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 1: where Tim's coming from. Where it doesn't look like the

1531
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: holes were filled. They tried to fill them. I mean,

1532
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 1: they brought back the two veteran linement from last year

1533
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:41,680
Speaker 1: and Williams and Feliciano believing for the most part that

1534
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 1: if they could just stay healthy, that that front five

1535
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,599
Speaker 1: would be better this year. They drafted Spencer Brown, who

1536
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: is a starter now. So I think they addressed it.

1537
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: You may not like the results, but they addressed it

1538
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: and felt they capably addressed a need. And then on

1539
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,799
Speaker 1: the defensive side the ball, their first two draft choices

1540
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 1: were defensive ends. I mean, the pass rush was what

1541
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: had to be addressed. They addressed it with their top

1542
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 1: two draft choices. The problem is the pass rush is

1543
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 1: sorely absent over the last month and a half. They

1544
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 1: can't get to the quarterback with any degree of consistency. Yeah,

1545
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: and it's they have tried to fix fill all their gaps.

1546
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: In fact that you know they Brandon Bean has done

1547
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:29,680
Speaker 1: a masterful job in picking guys and getting guys in

1548
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 1: w who are motivated and who are ready to play.

1549
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,719
Speaker 1: You look at and I know this too. Quentin Spain

1550
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 1: when the Bills got him, he had his best years

1551
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: of pro as a Buffalo Bill in two nineteen twenty

1552
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: twenty hit and after they signed him to an extension

1553
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: and gave him some money, he absolutely took it out

1554
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 1: of gear and they didn't put up with it. They

1555
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 1: they benched him and then finally released him about six

1556
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: weeks into last season. They do not wait on guys

1557
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 1: to find themselves after they've paid him a lot of money.

1558
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: They they they find guys who are motivated, and if

1559
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 1: you're not, you're gonna sit down. And if you're not

1560
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: doing it after that, you're getting released. Then Quentin Spain

1561
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 1: gets released by the Buffalo Bills, goes someplace else. Now

1562
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 1: he's having another great year because he's on a one

1563
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 1: year deal. So they know how to find guys and

1564
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 1: keep them motivated. The problem is sustaining that production after

1565
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: you've got to you exign them to an extension. It's

1566
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: hard to do, no question about it. But the Bills,

1567
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: you're right, brownie. They addressed the pass rush and their

1568
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:34,879
Speaker 1: offensive line up front big time over the last two drafts,

1569
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: and you know they they should start seeing some benefit

1570
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 1: from it. And I'm you know, drafting where they have

1571
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: they're not going to get a top five pick, but

1572
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,080
Speaker 1: that's kind of what they're looking at trying to get.

1573
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 1: You should if you want an impact player like that,

1574
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: that's where you're gonna have to be. And you don't

1575
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 1: want to play you're not. They're never gonna play bad

1576
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 1: that badly with Josh out at their quarterback to get

1577
01:21:56,360 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: a top five pick. Yeah, it's just it's tough because

1578
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 1: you made this big investment in Boogie Basham and Greg

1579
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 1: Rousseau at the top of your draft class, and there

1580
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 1: were bright signs at the start of the season and

1581
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 1: their impact on games. And I'm talking strictly pass rush now,

1582
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 1: because I think Greg Russeau has been good at setting

1583
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:21,720
Speaker 1: the edge in the run game, but the pass rush

1584
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 1: has gotten to a point now where and I saw

1585
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,640
Speaker 1: this last night, when they need a play on a

1586
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 1: money down in a passing situation, it's Addison and Hughes.

1587
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 1: And I don't have a problem with Addison and Hughes,

1588
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: but I just did not think at this point in

1589
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: the season, you know, tail end of the rookie season

1590
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,640
Speaker 1: for someone like Rousseau and then maybe bash him in

1591
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: a role sense, but certainly aj Epiness in his second

1592
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 1: season would be contributing more and playing larger roles on

1593
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:58,599
Speaker 1: passing downs in money situations, because you know, week fourteen,

1594
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: you're really not a rookie anymore. And I just thought

1595
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 1: we'd be getting more from those guys, and instead they're

1596
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 1: relying on a thirty two year old Jerry Hughes and

1597
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 1: a thirty four year old Mario Addison to carry the

1598
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 1: mail on those money down. So that's a tough ask.

1599
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're not up to it, but I

1600
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: can't believe in their mind's eye, the defensive staff thought

1601
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 1: they'd be relying that heavily on those two vets, right,

1602
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 1: And I think too that you could you could ask

1603
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: more of Ved Oliver as well. I mean, Ed Oliver's

1604
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: in his you know, in his third year, he's had

1605
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 1: flashes and he's one of those players that seems a

1606
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: little bit streaky. You know, he'll have a he'll have

1607
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:37,040
Speaker 1: a series where he absolutely he'll make every other play

1608
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 1: on the defensive line, took a couple of tackles for loss,

1609
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: and they'll end up hunting and then you won't see

1610
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 1: him for a quarter, you know what I mean. Ed

1611
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 1: has shown flashes of being a real disruptive force, but

1612
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,800
Speaker 1: he disappears for stretches. And that's you know, so when

1613
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: you lump all their draft picks on the defensive line

1614
01:23:55,800 --> 01:24:00,640
Speaker 1: together and their offensive linemen together, it's, you know, if

1615
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: you find some good and bad, but you know you

1616
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,599
Speaker 1: wish you could have just one or two, just maybe

1617
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,639
Speaker 1: even one guy on each side kind of turn out

1618
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: to be elite. Now. You know, perhaps maybe Spencer Brown

1619
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 1: could be that, maybe Ed Oliver's gonna emerge. Maybe Epinezza

1620
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: Rousseau bash them. All those guys have got a shot

1621
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 1: at it. But it's too early to find out. But man,

1622
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 1: oh man, there's no doubt that for whatever gaps in

1623
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:27,679
Speaker 1: the roster you thought there were last offseason, the Bills

1624
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: made a hard effort to fill them in. Yeah, I mean,

1625
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:35,720
Speaker 1: the top needs were there, they thought, they addressed him

1626
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:38,640
Speaker 1: that the execution and the production on the field just

1627
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: hasn't played up to what the expectations were after they

1628
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 1: did fill those holes with the talent that they did.

1629
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the phones at eight oh three

1630
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 1: oh five fifty and we go to JP and Ontario. JP,

1631
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on One Bill's Live. Hey, guys,

1632
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:54,680
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. Sure, I'm gonna make a

1633
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,840
Speaker 1: quick point. I thought the reps just that's on why

1634
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 1: I'm calling. But you know that MS played into before,

1635
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: you know, the note call that I think was all

1636
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: pass interference. Do you think of Brady through that ball

1637
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:14,280
Speaker 1: the rest call that, yes, exactly. So anyways, let's move

1638
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: on from that because the rest of what My point is,

1639
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 1: the rests are not going to do us any favors.

1640
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: And let's just talk about the losses quick. We're at

1641
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,879
Speaker 1: six losses. Okay, let's cross off Steelers and Colts. Steelers

1642
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 1: was week one, Colts was a beatdown. My point here

1643
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 1: of calling is the thing that eggs me the most

1644
01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 1: is I think we're down to executional errors and a

1645
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 1: little bit of play calling at kind of very important times.

1646
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: So I mean, you look at the Titans game. We

1647
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: had the QB sneak, we didn't execute on that. We

1648
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 1: ended up losing the game. You look at the Jakes

1649
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 1: the game, Let's not get into it. We had plenty

1650
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:49,679
Speaker 1: of ways of winning that game. We ended up losing.

1651
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 1: The Pats game, we had two final drives getting into

1652
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:54,719
Speaker 1: the red zone, chances to win. We came up with nothing.

1653
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 1: And then the box. And here's a question for you guys.

1654
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 1: That third and two, when that play call comes in

1655
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 1: from Dable, is that coming to Alan as a straight

1656
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 1: up pass to Diggs? Like that's the play? Is it? Like? Well,

1657
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 1: because that's what it was. Like he got the ball

1658
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: and he threw it right away. I think if when

1659
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:20,759
Speaker 1: he play was supposed to be or or was there

1660
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: the other routes that Alan had as the option and

1661
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: if he chose not to like read any of that

1662
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,679
Speaker 1: and he just went to dig J j JP, that's

1663
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 1: all on Josh. Now. They they certainly talked about it

1664
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 1: in the lead up, say, listen, if we get out there,

1665
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 1: and if if Steph is out there and he's manned

1666
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 1: up and there's no safety help over there, and it's

1667
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: truly one on one, give him a shot, and knowing

1668
01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 1: that that guy's either gonna the Steph's gonna make the

1669
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: play or the guy's gonna have to interfere with him

1670
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 1: to keep it from happening. But that's probably called. But

1671
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:53,240
Speaker 1: then he said, then you'd say, if there's a safety

1672
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 1: over him, you got this guy, this guy, this guy.

1673
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 1: So if Josh got over there, and like if Steph

1674
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 1: fell down out on the release, like if he slipped

1675
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:03,600
Speaker 1: and fell, Josh had other options that he would go

1676
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 1: to right away. So it's not just like it's this

1677
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 1: or nothing. But when you get this look and you

1678
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 1: got Steph Diggs one on one, take it. And that's

1679
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:14,679
Speaker 1: what that play was. And I just wanted to clarify

1680
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 1: before I made my point because I wanted to make

1681
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 1: sure like that was on Alan, because I mean, I

1682
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:20,639
Speaker 1: you know, I watched the play over and over again,

1683
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 1: reins framed it, and I mean he looked right at Diggs,

1684
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:26,720
Speaker 1: he went forward, didn't work outs unfortunate if he looked right,

1685
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 1: I forget who the player was on the out route,

1686
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 1: he was open. He was being spied by me. If

1687
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: you know, hindsight spray foresight right, if he threw it

1688
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 1: to him, he might have got the first down. But anyways,

1689
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 1: my point of the matter is is just some of

1690
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 1: these losses that's so hard to swallow because I believe

1691
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 1: last year we were in these same positions coming out

1692
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 1: with wins. We're getting in these positions four times now

1693
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 1: where we have the chance to finish the game and

1694
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 1: we come up short. And I'm not gonna lie to

1695
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:58,720
Speaker 1: you like once we missed that pass and we take

1696
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:01,679
Speaker 1: the field goal. Like I wasn't feeling good about overtime,

1697
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna like JP. Everybody felt the same way.

1698
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 1: Nobody felt like Tom Brady was gonna do anything but

1699
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:10,679
Speaker 1: come out there and win that game. There's a ton

1700
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 1: of people that'll tell you that you just had that

1701
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,120
Speaker 1: sick feeling Bill's fans have seen it more than any

1702
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:22,760
Speaker 1: other franchise. Yeah, and I you know, it's I get it.

1703
01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 1: I think the thing that bothers me the most. Steve

1704
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 1: is just like JP let Off. What did he say?

1705
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,559
Speaker 1: He said? If Tom Brady throws that ball, he gets

1706
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 1: the call. Stefan Diggs is an a level player. How

1707
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:39,719
Speaker 1: come he doesn't get the call? Like both times? That's

1708
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: that's where a number one receiver gets the benefit of

1709
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 1: the doubt. Right, DeVante Adams gets that call. Apparently Mike

1710
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 1: Evans gets that call. Why does Stefan Diggs not get

1711
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 1: that call? Guy led the league in receiving yards and receptions.

1712
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 1: How does an a one receiver on one of the

1713
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 1: best offenses in football not get that call? It's now

1714
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,559
Speaker 1: I'm getting hot again. Yeah, it's exactly right. And there's

1715
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:06,480
Speaker 1: I think it's indefensible because of it's not just that play.

1716
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 1: It's not just about that one play though, brand This

1717
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 1: is what gets me. It's the it's the consistency across

1718
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:20,479
Speaker 1: the league that foul is called constantly every single time.

1719
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 1: It's a no brainer. You expected to see two flags

1720
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 1: on that the guy at the goal line and the

1721
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 1: guy in the back of the end zone. You thought

1722
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 1: both those guys would throw the flag. That's the amazing

1723
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:34,280
Speaker 1: part about it. Plus you see still frame. There's no

1724
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:37,439
Speaker 1: way that they're gonna call the penalties they've been calling

1725
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 1: all night and not see the fact that you see

1726
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 1: it on all the internet where the guy's twenty four

1727
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:44,120
Speaker 1: and I can't I shouldn't know the guy's name because

1728
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 1: he had three. He got away with three. Carlton Davis

1729
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:50,840
Speaker 1: has got his collar of his jersey pulled down all

1730
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:53,800
Speaker 1: the way past his breastplate of his pads. I mean,

1731
01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:58,519
Speaker 1: what are we doing? I mean, that's the thing that

1732
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:01,680
Speaker 1: gets you and the guy. You know, the rests are

1733
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:05,639
Speaker 1: standing there. So yeah, that's and I and I get

1734
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:07,360
Speaker 1: it when you get down to the end. And I've

1735
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 1: said it before, there are certain teams, Baltimore being one

1736
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:12,320
Speaker 1: of them, that comes to mind. Certain teams that when

1737
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:15,400
Speaker 1: they get into a scrunch like that, when it's when

1738
01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 1: the game is on the line, they're gonna push the

1739
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:22,760
Speaker 1: envelope every single time defensively because they know officials become cowards.

1740
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:24,680
Speaker 1: They don't want to do that. They can't throw the

1741
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:26,960
Speaker 1: flag every single place, so we'll just keep doing the

1742
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,479
Speaker 1: same thing. They depend They depend on the on the

1743
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 1: officials deciding that they don't want to make the call

1744
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,639
Speaker 1: that's been made all all game. And that's not what

1745
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 1: the NFL should be about, you know that. Yeah, it's not.

1746
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 1: I'm tired tired official. Yeah, and I'm tired of official,

1747
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 1: and I know we got to get to break here.

1748
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:47,679
Speaker 1: I'm tired of official saying, well, I don't want to

1749
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 1: impact the game when it's been played like this and

1750
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:53,479
Speaker 1: it's been such a hard for game, I don't want

1751
01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:55,439
Speaker 1: to take the game out of the player's hands. Your

1752
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:59,679
Speaker 1: job is to officiate the game. That's right. You follow

1753
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:03,439
Speaker 1: the rules of the officiating that you've studied for umpteen

1754
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 1: number of years, and if something happens on the field

1755
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:09,800
Speaker 1: that justifies a call, you call it. Irrespective of how

1756
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 1: the game is going or how competitive it is. It

1757
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 1: could be fifty to nothing, it could be fifty one

1758
01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:17,799
Speaker 1: to fifty. You have to call it the same way

1759
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:20,360
Speaker 1: every single time. And look, I'm the first guy to

1760
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:24,440
Speaker 1: admit refs are human. They're gonna make mistakes, they're not perfect.

1761
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 1: But this that just stuck out like a sore thumb.

1762
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:31,760
Speaker 1: And I feel for Bills fans because, like we were

1763
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 1: saying earlier, it's not the first time and it's probably

1764
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 1: not going to be the last. And I realize it

1765
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:38,400
Speaker 1: happens elsewhere in the league, but it's hard when you've

1766
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 1: got a long laundry list of examples when this has

1767
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 1: happened to the detriment of the Bills in the win

1768
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:46,960
Speaker 1: loss count all, we gotta take a person. Yeah, it

1769
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 1: was a hand get back this game, a handful of

1770
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 1: them in this one game, right exactly, all right, we

1771
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:53,599
Speaker 1: gotta take a break here. When we get back, we'll

1772
01:31:53,640 --> 01:31:55,559
Speaker 1: take some more or your phone calls also got around

1773
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 1: the locker room. Coming up in the third hour of

1774

Speaker 1: how we doing pretty good. I just want to know.

1784
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:48,559
Speaker 1: Do the rest get paid overtime for the extra period

1785
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 1: when it's time? Is that? Why do you want it

1786
01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,880
Speaker 1: to play for the time. Yeah, No, they don't get

1787
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:56,599
Speaker 1: extra That's funny though, you shure. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

1788
01:32:57,560 --> 01:33:00,679
Speaker 1: I you know, I just think, you know. I appen

1789
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:05,720
Speaker 1: to catch Scott l two o'clock in the morning and

1790
01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:09,639
Speaker 1: he was doing the highlights for that game. He shows

1791
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:15,479
Speaker 1: the play where Jacks gets screwed on a call, and

1792
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:22,960
Speaker 1: then he shows the play where Tampa Bay Evans gets yeah, right,

1793
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:27,599
Speaker 1: he gets away with it, and he says, see Buffalo

1794
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,559
Speaker 1: doesn't get a call, Tampa Bay gets a call. I

1795
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty good Teal TV. Yeah, we started

1796
01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 1: the show today and thanks for the call. Tom. We

1797
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 1: started the show today saying we kind of had we

1798
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: kind of had to talk about We Usually we'll bring

1799
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 1: it up with there's a bad call or whatever, but

1800
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:49,640
Speaker 1: this seemed to be so pervasive throughout from front to

1801
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:52,439
Speaker 1: back start to finish the game. Even the national media

1802
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 1: guys like Scott Van Pelt was on it today, Shannon

1803
01:33:56,600 --> 01:33:59,280
Speaker 1: Sharpe and Skip Batis, we're talking about the game last night.

1804
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 1: So the national media has picked up on what they

1805
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:05,680
Speaker 1: what all of us saw as Bills fans, So for

1806
01:34:05,720 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, maybe Bills fans

1807
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 1: aren't alone in their disgust for the way they were

1808
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,600
Speaker 1: treated in that game last night. And we had we

1809
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 1: felt like we had to talk about it today. So

1810
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:18,679
Speaker 1: it's not just us talking about it, it's national media

1811
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:21,800
Speaker 1: and people like Scott Van Pelt. I would I haven't heard.

1812
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 1: I didn't hear what if Colin Coward talked about it,

1813
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 1: or if Jim Rome's gonna talk about it or anybody

1814
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,880
Speaker 1: the other else, But some national media members had picked

1815
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:30,799
Speaker 1: up on it and hadn't felt the need to comment

1816
01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:35,479
Speaker 1: on the what appeared to be egregious non calls. Yeah,

1817
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:39,240
Speaker 1: a handful that went against the Bills. So you're right. No,

1818
01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:42,000
Speaker 1: they don't get paid extra for it, but you're right

1819
01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:46,280
Speaker 1: it that's the only reason it's on the agenda today. Yeah,

1820
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 1: And I think the reason the national media outlets picked

1821
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:53,040
Speaker 1: it up too, Steve, was I think they wholeheartedly believe

1822
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:56,800
Speaker 1: that with the comeback effort that the Bills mounted, they

1823
01:34:56,880 --> 01:35:02,439
Speaker 1: deserved a better outcome than that. And when it looks

1824
01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:07,480
Speaker 1: as though officiating impacted the outcome right wrong or indifferent,

1825
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 1: people are going to say something about it. So I

1826
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 1: give credit to the national media outlets for taking the

1827
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:17,679
Speaker 1: time to shine a light on it, because a lot

1828
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 1: of times when the hometown fans do that, it just

1829
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:23,640
Speaker 1: sounds like sour grapes. When you have it at a

1830
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:27,760
Speaker 1: national level, reach the level that it did. You know

1831
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:32,000
Speaker 1: overnight this morning, you know, Good Morning Football was talking

1832
01:35:32,040 --> 01:35:34,720
Speaker 1: about it. So I don't know if it's going to

1833
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:40,080
Speaker 1: change anything, but at least it casts a brighter light

1834
01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 1: on the issue because it's undoubtedly an issue. And like

1835
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 1: I said before, I know other teams get victimized to

1836
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:49,559
Speaker 1: every single week in this league because the bottom line

1837
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:53,280
Speaker 1: is officials miscalls every single week at multiple cities across

1838
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:56,599
Speaker 1: the league. The game moves too fast for these guys

1839
01:35:56,600 --> 01:36:00,559
Speaker 1: to call it perfectly. I get it, but man, these

1840
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 1: are just so clear to everybody. And the thing that

1841
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 1: kills me too is and I'm not gonna remember if

1842
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:10,200
Speaker 1: these were Oh no, we got the sky judge, So

1843
01:36:10,640 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 1: where where the heck was that person? Well, you can't

1844
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:16,639
Speaker 1: call him down, can't down. He can't call a penalty.

1845
01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:23,600
Speaker 1: He's not allowed. He can't call a penalty. That's no jurisdiction.

1846
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,640
Speaker 1: He's got no jurisdiction call because there's no plus. He

1847
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:29,560
Speaker 1: can't even he can't even review a penalty that's a

1848
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 1: judgment call. He can only review the spot of the

1849
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 1: ball or you know, possession. So because it's not it's

1850
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 1: not a judgment call. So you know, he's he's out

1851
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:48,879
Speaker 1: of it. He couldn't help. Yeah, so yeah, not good. Um,

1852
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:51,640
Speaker 1: we have to take a break here. We'll sit and

1853
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:53,759
Speaker 1: stew for another five minutes and then we'll be back,

1854
01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:56,000
Speaker 1: uh to talk to you and take you around in

1855
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:58,560
Speaker 1: the locker room as well. We'll hear from coach McDermott

1856
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:00,719
Speaker 1: as well as some of the players in their postgame

1857
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: comments on the heels of a crushing overtime loss at

1858
01:37:06,439 --> 01:37:08,599
Speaker 1: the hands of the Bucks in Tampa Bay. We're back

1859
01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 1: for our number three next year on One Bills Live

1860
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 1: because anybody CALLI to health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio. At

1861
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:33,400
Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

1862
01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:35,040
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

1863
01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:41,519
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

1864
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:48,479
Speaker 1: in the straded here of normalcy, all right here we are.

1865
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:51,840
Speaker 1: We're tuning it up for our number three of a

1866
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Football Monday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. Tough

1867
01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 1: one to take, Steve, just to give you an idea

1868
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:01,760
Speaker 1: on some of the chatter on the way back from

1869
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:03,800
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, because again a lot of Bills fans were

1870
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:05,920
Speaker 1: on my plane on the way back this morning. Yeah,

1871
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 1: obviously disappointed with the outcome, but the vast majority of

1872
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:17,240
Speaker 1: them said, well, we got our money's worth from the

1873
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:20,280
Speaker 1: second half. The first half, people are almost ready to leave,

1874
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 1: right and then fortunately they showed some life there on

1875
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,800
Speaker 1: the second possession in the third quarter and then really

1876
01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 1: kind of kicked it into rhythm. Do you think there

1877
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:34,000
Speaker 1: is any validity because I know sometimes there are some

1878
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:36,479
Speaker 1: that believe there is momentum from game to game, and

1879
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:39,559
Speaker 1: other people say, no, way, this game, every game is separate,

1880
01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:43,439
Speaker 1: and you know, their own entity. Do you think there's

1881
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:49,599
Speaker 1: something that they've grasped or found in the second half

1882
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:53,000
Speaker 1: offensively that they can carry into the weeks to come.

1883
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:54,879
Speaker 1: I realize the game plans are going to be different,

1884
01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:57,680
Speaker 1: but I think that is some of the hope that

1885
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 1: a lot of Bills fans are clinging to. I think

1886
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 1: the troubling thing with that thought is you're going to

1887
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:11,160
Speaker 1: be asking Josh to do superhuman things every single week,

1888
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,639
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's fair to Josh number one

1889
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:18,439
Speaker 1: and number two, I don't think it's sustainable. You ask

1890
01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 1: him to do that kind of stuff every week, he

1891
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 1: might be out of the league in six years, or

1892
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 1: he'll he'll look like Ben Roethlisberger in six years. And

1893
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:29,280
Speaker 1: that's how Ben looks at thirty nine. He's got a

1894
01:39:29,320 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: greteen years, he's gonna look like Cam Newton. You know,

1895
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:36,679
Speaker 1: that's what he's going to turn into. And that's you know, yeah,

1896
01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:38,840
Speaker 1: you can't do that. I mean, you're gonna use him

1897
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:41,000
Speaker 1: up now. Certainly you're paying him a lot of money,

1898
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 1: no question, but I think whatever they captured seemed to

1899
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 1: have that it seemed to help him answer the pressure

1900
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:54,800
Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay brought on defensively. It was obvious that

1901
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:58,080
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay was going to bring more guys than the

1902
01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 1: Bills could block and put pressure on Josh Allen either

1903
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 1: flush him out or get the sack. They got three

1904
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:07,840
Speaker 1: sacks and he was He was harassed in the first half,

1905
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:10,880
Speaker 1: spent the whole half running for his life, throwing the

1906
01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:13,760
Speaker 1: football away, trying to make throws on the run all

1907
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 1: of that stuff. I mean, he was getting chased a

1908
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:18,160
Speaker 1: ton in the first half and I don't remember it

1909
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:20,120
Speaker 1: being that way in the second half. So whatever they

1910
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:23,000
Speaker 1: did to fix that problem needs to continue, and they

1911
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 1: knew need they do. Need to find an offense that

1912
01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:29,719
Speaker 1: gets the ball out of Josh's hands fast, like every

1913
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 1: like the offenses that play the Buffalo Bills defense, every

1914
01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:35,759
Speaker 1: other offense they got get drops back and the ball's

1915
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:37,920
Speaker 1: out of there before anybody. You know, you could almost

1916
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:39,920
Speaker 1: rush against air and not get there some of these

1917
01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:43,559
Speaker 1: guys they're playing. So the Bills need to have an offensive,

1918
01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:45,559
Speaker 1: an element in their offense that allows Josh to do

1919
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:47,760
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. They did that in the second half.

1920
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 1: They were throwing some quick out some stuff and even

1921
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 1: at the really nice play to Dawson Knox at the

1922
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:55,600
Speaker 1: end that got it down in close right before the

1923
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 1: Steph digs no and call to cost him the game.

1924
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:02,120
Speaker 1: That was you know, that was as well, if a

1925
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:04,599
Speaker 1: wrinkle that we hadn't seen, you know, where Dawson Knox's

1926
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:07,719
Speaker 1: pass protecting pass protecting and he slips out, he blocks

1927
01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:09,800
Speaker 1: the guy that's actually supposed to be covering him. The

1928
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:12,160
Speaker 1: guy thinks he's going to get a sack, and Josh

1929
01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 1: just tosses the ball to Knox and it's off to

1930
01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:16,760
Speaker 1: the races, all the way down inside the fifteen yard line.

1931
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:21,680
Speaker 1: Those kind of things haven't helped the Bill's answer. What

1932
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:24,360
Speaker 1: other teams are seeing is the problem with the Bill's offense.

1933
01:41:24,600 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: Josh didn't handle pressure well. They don't have quick answers.

1934
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:30,559
Speaker 1: Josh didn't get rid of the ball fast enough. They

1935
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:33,160
Speaker 1: did that in the second half and it forced Tampa

1936
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:34,920
Speaker 1: Bay to change what they were doing a little bit

1937
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:38,880
Speaker 1: and they took advantage. Yeah, and I will once again

1938
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:42,800
Speaker 1: reiterate as I have for the last few weeks now,

1939
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:47,440
Speaker 1: Gave Davis needs to keep playing. And I know yesterday

1940
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 1: was due more to circumstance that he got eighty three

1941
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps because Emmanuel Sanders got hurt and

1942
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:55,280
Speaker 1: then he was the third receiver on the field and

1943
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:59,599
Speaker 1: eleven personnel for the rest of the game. But the

1944
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 1: fourth down play, that's a man's man play, and then

1945
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:06,160
Speaker 1: you know the touchdown in tight he had to win

1946
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:08,360
Speaker 1: quick there. You want to talk about quick release, Steve,

1947
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 1: he's got a blitzer in his face. Gabe's gotta win

1948
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 1: on the first four steps of that route and he did. Yeah, Yeah,

1949
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,679
Speaker 1: it was a great play. Gabe Davis has played extremely

1950
01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 1: well when he's gotten the opportunity, and Emmanuel Sanders moved

1951
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:26,240
Speaker 1: to the bench because of his knee injury and Gabe Davis,

1952
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:28,799
Speaker 1: they didn't miss a beat with him, and it's obvious

1953
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:31,680
Speaker 1: too they might have been better. Given Yeah, given the

1954
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 1: season to Gabe put together last year, Josh has all

1955
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: the trust in the world in him. He's got a

1956
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,719
Speaker 1: bigger history with Gabe Davis than he does Emmanuel Sanders.

1957
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's no reason to think there's gonna be

1958
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 1: any kind of drop off if you do have to

1959
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:48,200
Speaker 1: make that move from Emmanuel Sanders to Gabe Davis. We'll see,

1960
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:51,439
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. I like what they did. I

1961
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:55,120
Speaker 1: like the fact that they activated seven receivers. It gave

1962
01:42:55,200 --> 01:42:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, they did what they were gonna do, and

1963
01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:58,920
Speaker 1: they were gonna come out and sling it in good

1964
01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:02,320
Speaker 1: weather in Tampa on a fast track. That's what their

1965
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:06,120
Speaker 1: offense should look like. And they struggled upfront offensively in

1966
01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:08,000
Speaker 1: the first half, and like I said, when they fixed

1967
01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:11,559
Speaker 1: that after halftime, you know, they scored twenty four. They

1968
01:43:11,560 --> 01:43:13,400
Speaker 1: beat him twenty four to three in the second half.

1969
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,160
Speaker 1: Time Now for us to go around the locker room

1970
01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 1: presented by Connect Life, Connect Life, your blood and organ

1971
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:24,720
Speaker 1: Donor Network, and we begin with head coach Sean McDermott,

1972
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 1: who was asked pretty early in his press conference last

1973
01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:30,759
Speaker 1: night for his thoughts on the team's second half rally

1974
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:34,800
Speaker 1: against the Bucks. Incredible. I mean, look, I know we

1975
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 1: came up short, right, incredible, incredible amount of heart and

1976
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:42,600
Speaker 1: guts that they showed this team, Josh included, right, but

1977
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:45,599
Speaker 1: all of them, all of them. Again, we came up short.

1978
01:43:46,520 --> 01:43:48,640
Speaker 1: They made one more play than we did. But I

1979
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 1: love how the team fought. Every game's its own game, right,

1980
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:54,120
Speaker 1: So let's let's kind of keep in check here. But

1981
01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 1: I saw something. I saw something that I really I'm

1982
01:43:59,360 --> 01:44:01,759
Speaker 1: real proud of that. But we got to get ourselves

1983
01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:03,880
Speaker 1: prepared for the next game. I would say that's each

1984
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 1: game as its own entity. Steve I had heard through

1985
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:15,840
Speaker 1: social media that his coach's halftime interview with one of

1986
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:22,719
Speaker 1: the sideline reporters with Things, Tracy Wolf. She described Sean

1987
01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:28,360
Speaker 1: as almost speechless because of the way that his team

1988
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:32,720
Speaker 1: performed in the first half. Um, I don't want to

1989
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:34,760
Speaker 1: put words in her mouth, but I want to say

1990
01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:38,559
Speaker 1: I saw the word distraught as she described him. Um,

1991
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:42,519
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what went on in the locker

1992
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:46,360
Speaker 1: room at halftime there, because I'm assuming she got him

1993
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:50,719
Speaker 1: going in to the locker room not coming out after half. Yeah,

1994
01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 1: that's probably true, and there's a lot of a lot

1995
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,200
Speaker 1: of reasons for him to be distraught. They did not

1996
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:02,320
Speaker 1: play well at all in the first half, and I

1997
01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:06,720
Speaker 1: think I think he is affected as much as any

1998
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:11,400
Speaker 1: head coach because of the pulse of his team as

1999
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 1: to his decision making like on fourth down, when to

2000
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:15,720
Speaker 1: go forward, when not to go forward, when to you know,

2001
01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 1: when to leave his offense on the field, when not to,

2002
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:22,679
Speaker 1: when you know certain game management situations. I think he

2003
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:25,640
Speaker 1: really goes by what he feels the emotional level and

2004
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 1: his execution level of his team is right, then, I

2005
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:30,080
Speaker 1: think he really goes by that well, right, having a

2006
01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:32,320
Speaker 1: good day offensively, he'll leave him out there more often

2007
01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:34,400
Speaker 1: than they'll take him off. If they're looking like they

2008
01:45:34,439 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 1: did in the first half, there's no reason for him

2009
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:39,800
Speaker 1: to leave him out there. He feels despite what analytics say,

2010
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:44,320
Speaker 1: so I think he really listens to that on any

2011
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:46,960
Speaker 1: given at any given point in the games that he

2012
01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 1: coaches and uses that as his as his main barometer

2013
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:52,519
Speaker 1: as to whether to go forward or not. And if

2014
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, if that agrees with the analytics, so be

2015
01:45:56,040 --> 01:46:00,920
Speaker 1: it right. I think the other reason he his emotional

2016
01:46:00,960 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 1: state was what it was talking to her coming off

2017
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:07,080
Speaker 1: the field is because there's an enormous amount of pride

2018
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:12,879
Speaker 1: in what his team and what the operation is about

2019
01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 1: at one Bill's drive under his leadership, and when his

2020
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:26,120
Speaker 1: team's play doesn't effectively reflect that, it hurts him personally.

2021
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean you can just tell. I mean, you've seen

2022
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 1: him after games when his team doesn't perform up to

2023
01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:38,600
Speaker 1: his and even his own players expectations. It's wounding to

2024
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:42,519
Speaker 1: him because it means that much, and that's the kind

2025
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:47,880
Speaker 1: of head coach you want. So I almost feel good

2026
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:51,200
Speaker 1: for him that the team responded in an appropriate way

2027
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:55,960
Speaker 1: in the second half, because quite frankly, they owe that

2028
01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:59,599
Speaker 1: to him. At the very least. We want to move

2029
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:02,400
Speaker 1: on around the locker room, we go to Josh Allen Now,

2030
01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:07,479
Speaker 1: who also spoke about the team's resilience coming out in

2031
01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:10,840
Speaker 1: the second half against Tampa. I'm damn proud of our

2032
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:12,680
Speaker 1: team and how we fought in that second half, and

2033
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's who we are. That's that's the

2034
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:20,679
Speaker 1: team I've I've known to love and to know really, um,

2035
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:22,800
Speaker 1: guys that are just resilient guys that want to fight

2036
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 1: for each other. Um, you know, and again it is

2037
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 1: what it is. The score is what the score was.

2038
01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:33,320
Speaker 1: But to come out and play that way, I'm proud

2039
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:35,439
Speaker 1: of our team of how we did it. Honestly, we

2040
01:47:35,479 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 1: wish the end result was different, but um, I'm super

2041
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:41,880
Speaker 1: super proud of our guys. There's many teams that would

2042
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:44,960
Speaker 1: have folded in that position. Um, especially coming out in

2043
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:46,479
Speaker 1: the second half, and we didn't move the ball like

2044
01:47:46,520 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 1: we wanted to early, you know, getting the ball back

2045
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:51,519
Speaker 1: at half. But like I said, we should got guys

2046
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 1: that we want to win, we want to be great,

2047
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:57,080
Speaker 1: and with how we respond in that second half, again,

2048
01:47:57,120 --> 01:47:59,320
Speaker 1: that's that's a team that we've got to be going

2049
01:47:59,360 --> 01:48:02,080
Speaker 1: forward and understand that. We know that, and um, I

2050
01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:09,640
Speaker 1: don't expect anything, yeah, anything else. Yeah, hard not to

2051
01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 1: agree with all of that. I would say that Josh's

2052
01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:19,479
Speaker 1: play led the charge on that front one hundred percent.

2053
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:27,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't start making plays, delivering the ball, helping to

2054
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:30,799
Speaker 1: kick the offense into rhythm. I don't know that everybody

2055
01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 1: else comes along and joins in. I mean, he is

2056
01:48:35,120 --> 01:48:38,600
Speaker 1: I understand, he's the quarterback, he's the orchestrator, but he

2057
01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 1: is also the emotional barometer of how this team performs

2058
01:48:47,080 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 1: on the field with enthusiasm, urgency and the like. Yeah,

2059
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:56,679
Speaker 1: he's he's the bell cow and he he was heroic

2060
01:48:56,720 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 1: in that second half. I don't and I know they

2061
01:49:01,080 --> 01:49:03,000
Speaker 1: probably not doing this. Certainly, they wanted to put their

2062
01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 1: best face forward when they come out after the game,

2063
01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:09,160
Speaker 1: particularly given what happened after the New England game. In

2064
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:11,639
Speaker 1: their postgame comments, I think, you know, they all wanted

2065
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:13,679
Speaker 1: to come out and kind of trump at the fact

2066
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 1: that they took the World champions to overtime after looking

2067
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:21,760
Speaker 1: really stumbling badly in the first half. But I do

2068
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:25,599
Speaker 1: think they've still got some things to prove to themselves

2069
01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 1: and to the public at large pay perhaps not Bills fans,

2070
01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:30,479
Speaker 1: because we've seen it over the last two years and

2071
01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 1: at times this season, but consistency still eludes them, and

2072
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:36,800
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that they've got

2073
01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:39,559
Speaker 1: to find a way to get their heads around. Playing

2074
01:49:39,600 --> 01:49:41,639
Speaker 1: the way they did in the second half the entire game,

2075
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:45,519
Speaker 1: even the coaching staffs. I think when you see a

2076
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:47,280
Speaker 1: team all of a sudden kind of catch fire and

2077
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:49,719
Speaker 1: start doing some things, it's because their coaching staff also

2078
01:49:49,800 --> 01:49:51,920
Speaker 1: has got a handle on the defensive scheme that they're

2079
01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 1: facing or the offensive weapons that they're facing. And I

2080
01:49:56,320 --> 01:49:58,479
Speaker 1: think on both sides of it, the Bills coaching staff

2081
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:00,200
Speaker 1: finally caught up to the Bucks last night in the

2082
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:02,760
Speaker 1: second half and got on top of them, and the

2083
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:06,000
Speaker 1: players executed at a higher level as well. But I

2084
01:50:06,040 --> 01:50:08,400
Speaker 1: think it's it's as much day ball and Leslie Frasier

2085
01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:11,200
Speaker 1: given that team some things to do that really got

2086
01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:14,000
Speaker 1: on top of the Buccaneers that got them back in

2087
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 1: that game last night. Certainly, Josh played his played lights out,

2088
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:21,439
Speaker 1: and you know, if he does that, I mean they're

2089
01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna be in every game, no question. But I also

2090
01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:26,760
Speaker 1: think they gave the guys around him on both sides

2091
01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:28,680
Speaker 1: of the ball a chance to be more successful as well.

2092
01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 1: I think you gotta give credit to Frazier and Dable

2093
01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 1: and they're not coaching a vacuum, and the guys across

2094
01:50:34,200 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 1: from him, and Todd Bowles and Bruce Arians and Mark

2095
01:50:38,560 --> 01:50:41,720
Speaker 1: Byron Leftwich I mean, those guys have won a world championship,

2096
01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:45,760
Speaker 1: so they you know, they've got some They're not that

2097
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:48,360
Speaker 1: easy to out coach. But I thought in the second

2098
01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:52,640
Speaker 1: half the Bills got on top of them pretty pretty well. Yeah.

2099
01:50:52,760 --> 01:50:55,360
Speaker 1: We wrap up around the locker room with Tremaine Edmonds,

2100
01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:58,560
Speaker 1: who I'm going to give full marks and credit to

2101
01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:01,759
Speaker 1: fixing the music on the last play of the game.

2102
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:06,320
Speaker 1: He admitted that he had some eye discipline issues, but

2103
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:09,639
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time believing he was the main

2104
01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:13,120
Speaker 1: coverage assignment on that last play because it was a

2105
01:51:13,200 --> 01:51:17,160
Speaker 1: rub route with double crossers crossing across the face of

2106
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:20,200
Speaker 1: each other. Breshad Perriman said he was the one that

2107
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:23,800
Speaker 1: was supposed to set the pick for Mike Evans on

2108
01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 1: the play, and what actually happened was the reverse Dan

2109
01:51:27,360 --> 01:51:31,040
Speaker 1: Jackson got caught on the switch and Edmonds looked like

2110
01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:33,559
Speaker 1: he was trying to cover for him. I'm not going

2111
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:36,720
Speaker 1: to pretend to know the defensive play, but by the

2112
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:41,640
Speaker 1: time Perriman crossed his face, the plays already over, just

2113
01:51:41,720 --> 01:51:43,800
Speaker 1: by virtue of the fact that he's a linebacker and

2114
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:46,320
Speaker 1: that guy's a four or four receiver. Yeah, well that happened.

2115
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:48,040
Speaker 1: The only way. The only way they were gonna win

2116
01:51:48,040 --> 01:51:49,560
Speaker 1: that play is if somebody batted the ball to the the

2117
01:51:49,640 --> 01:51:52,879
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage on Brady. They were done right, Yeah,

2118
01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 1: play was done from the word go. But here is

2119
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:59,519
Speaker 1: Edmonds on the defensive struggles early. A lot of big

2120
01:51:59,560 --> 01:52:02,360
Speaker 1: plays given up in the first half and obviously at

2121
01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:05,439
Speaker 1: the very end of the game, and what they did

2122
01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:09,040
Speaker 1: to kind of stem the tide there in the second

2123
01:52:09,080 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 1: half and hold the Bucks to just three second half

2124
01:52:12,040 --> 01:52:16,320
Speaker 1: points in regulation. Communication from coaches and players, you know,

2125
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:18,120
Speaker 1: being honest with ourselves or things that we had to

2126
01:52:18,120 --> 01:52:20,800
Speaker 1: get corrected. You know, guys took ownership in it. The

2127
01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:23,760
Speaker 1: coaches did a good job of making adjustments. Players did

2128
01:52:23,760 --> 01:52:25,960
Speaker 1: a good job of accepting those roles, accepting you know,

2129
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:28,200
Speaker 1: the changes that we made, and uh, you know, we

2130
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 1: were just better were I keep saying that we're execution.

2131
01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:33,679
Speaker 1: We just executed the calls. But it you know, guys

2132
01:52:33,720 --> 01:52:36,679
Speaker 1: was in position. When we're in positions, Guys was making plays,

2133
01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:38,840
Speaker 1: and so you know, we did a good job of

2134
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:41,680
Speaker 1: just making adjustments and guys owning up to that. You

2135
01:52:41,680 --> 01:52:44,160
Speaker 1: guys struggled with the execution in the first half. And

2136
01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:47,200
Speaker 1: how maddening is that given what you were capable of

2137
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:49,840
Speaker 1: doing in the second. I mean, it's football, man, you know.

2138
01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:52,080
Speaker 1: You know every time things not gonna go your way.

2139
01:52:52,560 --> 01:52:54,719
Speaker 1: I know we stried to be perfect out there. We're defensive,

2140
01:52:54,760 --> 01:52:57,200
Speaker 1: strive to be perfect each and every rep, you know,

2141
01:52:57,240 --> 01:52:59,639
Speaker 1: but sometimes things just don't go your way. And that's

2142
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:01,880
Speaker 1: not me making an excuse, man, It's just me, you know,

2143
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:03,720
Speaker 1: speaking on the reality of it. But at the end

2144
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:06,000
Speaker 1: of the day, we have to find ways when those

2145
01:53:06,040 --> 01:53:08,040
Speaker 1: plays are when, when when we're in position to make

2146
01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:10,320
Speaker 1: those plays, we have to make them. And uh, you know,

2147
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 1: that's just the reality of it, you know. And that's

2148
01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:19,400
Speaker 1: the troubling thing, Steve, because while he is talking reality

2149
01:53:19,680 --> 01:53:22,360
Speaker 1: and you are playing opponents that are every bit as

2150
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:25,120
Speaker 1: good as you are in this league, and you always

2151
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:27,760
Speaker 1: talk about it the margin of the type margins. It's

2152
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:30,160
Speaker 1: about two percent difference between the best and worst team

2153
01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:34,479
Speaker 1: in football. Some of those game changing plays have been

2154
01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:37,160
Speaker 1: the ones that have cost the Bills games, particularly in

2155
01:53:37,200 --> 01:53:42,160
Speaker 1: the one score ones where they're now oh for five, right, Yeah,

2156
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:46,639
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's troubling, no question about it. Um yeah.

2157
01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:48,080
Speaker 1: They got to get on top of it quicker, and

2158
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:49,840
Speaker 1: they got to do it from start to finish. Um

2159
01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:52,639
Speaker 1: that it's it's got to be frustrating for them, knowing

2160
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:55,280
Speaker 1: the kind of talent they have at their disposal and

2161
01:53:55,280 --> 01:54:00,200
Speaker 1: can't put it together enough to get it done. I'll

2162
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 1: say this though, you know, I was watching I was

2163
01:54:04,439 --> 01:54:07,880
Speaker 1: watching Tremaine Edmonds in that post game interview. We haven't

2164
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:11,479
Speaker 1: seen him too much this year speak to the media

2165
01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:17,759
Speaker 1: very much, although he's never avoided it. For the first time,

2166
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:27,120
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds acted like a salty, wily, wise veteran player

2167
01:54:27,280 --> 01:54:30,400
Speaker 1: in that media room. The way he handled himself, the

2168
01:54:30,400 --> 01:54:32,080
Speaker 1: way he looked at the way he looked, the way

2169
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:36,080
Speaker 1: he answered the questions. He looked like a different guy

2170
01:54:36,120 --> 01:54:38,040
Speaker 1: than I've seen him look in his entire career. In

2171
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:40,160
Speaker 1: that post gut. I don't want to make more than

2172
01:54:40,160 --> 01:54:43,160
Speaker 1: this than it is, but it's obvious there's a guy

2173
01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:45,680
Speaker 1: that's played for a while, and this is fourth year,

2174
01:54:46,480 --> 01:54:50,120
Speaker 1: and he's twenty three years old, and he's still young

2175
01:54:50,160 --> 01:54:52,840
Speaker 1: and all at it. But that right, there was a

2176
01:54:52,920 --> 01:54:56,280
Speaker 1: guy that is completely different this year than I've seen

2177
01:54:56,320 --> 01:54:59,040
Speaker 1: him look in the three years prior to this. He

2178
01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:02,000
Speaker 1: always struck me he is a very young player as

2179
01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 1: a you know, as a guy that's trying to say,

2180
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, use cliches to his advantage, you know, and

2181
01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:08,320
Speaker 1: just and just be as honest Nope, as he can.

2182
01:55:08,480 --> 01:55:13,440
Speaker 1: That right there looked like a veteran NFL linebacker. And

2183
01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm not that that makes any big difference to any

2184
01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:18,080
Speaker 1: of us out here or anything like that, but that's

2185
01:55:18,120 --> 01:55:21,480
Speaker 1: a guy that's entrenched and as a as a veteran.

2186
01:55:21,520 --> 01:55:24,160
Speaker 1: I that just struck me as I was watching him

2187
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:27,200
Speaker 1: answer those questions. That guy's a different guy in front

2188
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:29,080
Speaker 1: of the media than he's ever been. And I don't

2189
01:55:29,080 --> 01:55:30,600
Speaker 1: know what it's the most direct. I don't know if

2190
01:55:30,600 --> 01:55:34,080
Speaker 1: it means the most direct. Yeah, it's the most direct

2191
01:55:34,080 --> 01:55:36,200
Speaker 1: I've heard him, though. I think that's safe to say.

2192
01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:39,160
Speaker 1: And and you say, well, what does that mean, Well,

2193
01:55:39,200 --> 01:55:41,680
Speaker 1: that means that he's he's given it. If he's given

2194
01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:43,960
Speaker 1: it to the media straight, you know, he's given it

2195
01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:47,680
Speaker 1: to his teammates straight. And and that's how he's trying

2196
01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 1: to run that defense as best he can on the field.

2197
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones, though, Steve, because we

2198
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:55,120
Speaker 1: got some people waiting patiently here. I believe it is

2199
01:55:55,200 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 1: Ford and Hamburg forby have for us. You're on one

2200
01:55:57,960 --> 01:56:01,600
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Well, I just I have two things. The

2201
01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:04,200
Speaker 1: first one I wanted to ask is you think it's

2202
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:08,280
Speaker 1: time for Buffalo to bring in two tough, tight tight

2203
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:10,800
Speaker 1: ends to park next to Alan so they could pick

2204
01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:14,400
Speaker 1: up the blitz. I know Eifert and Burton are available,

2205
01:56:15,040 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 1: but a Knox camp block worth of damn. So bringing

2206
01:56:19,720 --> 01:56:22,680
Speaker 1: them in and parking them in the backfield next to

2207
01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:27,040
Speaker 1: Allen would certainly give him some more time. And the

2208
01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:31,520
Speaker 1: second thing I wanted to bring up is Edmunds that

2209
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:35,360
Speaker 1: last play isn't more killed the game? It was? I

2210
01:56:35,360 --> 01:56:40,120
Speaker 1: think it was three plays prior. Fournette had a running

2211
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:44,640
Speaker 1: play off his right side of the line, between the

2212
01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:49,320
Speaker 1: tackle and the guard. Tampa opened the play up perfectly

2213
01:56:49,400 --> 01:56:53,800
Speaker 1: there as a whole, Edmund's charged into the hole, Fournette

2214
01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:59,200
Speaker 1: turned sideways, and Edmund's whiffed on the tackle, and then

2215
01:56:59,280 --> 01:57:02,560
Speaker 1: Tampa got the first down. And it was a couple

2216
01:57:02,520 --> 01:57:09,280
Speaker 1: of days later that the pass that killed us happened. Well, really,

2217
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 1: I think we need a couple of tight ends to

2218
01:57:11,240 --> 01:57:13,640
Speaker 1: help block for Josh Okay. So who are you gonna

2219
01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:16,320
Speaker 1: all right? So you're gonna take Steph Diggs and Cole

2220
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:18,400
Speaker 1: Beasley off the field for two tight ends or are

2221
01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:20,720
Speaker 1: you gonna like who else is gonna who's gonna come

2222
01:57:20,720 --> 01:57:26,920
Speaker 1: off the field? Well, we're playing three receiver sets, all right?

2223
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:28,800
Speaker 1: Who which two receivers you're gonna take off? Are you

2224
01:57:28,880 --> 01:57:30,760
Speaker 1: gonna leave? Are you gonna leave knocks on the field?

2225
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:36,400
Speaker 1: Or a you're gonna leave? Take back? What? Okay? Leave Diggs?

2226
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:40,160
Speaker 1: Put Davis on because Davis is the second best receiver

2227
01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 1: we have and go from there. So it'll be Digs,

2228
01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:49,800
Speaker 1: It'll be Diggs and Davis. So Cole, I hear you,

2229
01:57:49,920 --> 01:57:52,160
Speaker 1: I hear you, Ford, I hear you. I hear you.

2230
01:57:52,360 --> 01:57:57,200
Speaker 1: So you're gonna sit Cole Beasley down? Sure? Or a

2231
01:57:57,280 --> 01:57:59,960
Speaker 1: player two? When we run a two tight end sets?

2232
01:58:00,160 --> 01:58:02,560
Speaker 1: Why is it that the Bills would need five offensive

2233
01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 1: lineman's and two tight ends to block for for a

2234
01:58:05,200 --> 01:58:07,880
Speaker 1: quarterback when every other team does it with five offensive linemen?

2235
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:11,600
Speaker 1: Because our offensive line sucks, Why don't we just get

2236
01:58:11,640 --> 01:58:14,160
Speaker 1: two new offensive linemen to you know, why don't get

2237
01:58:14,160 --> 01:58:17,280
Speaker 1: a better offensive line instead of taking Colby's solution and

2238
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:21,200
Speaker 1: all those guys off, I mean them, Well, were you

2239
01:58:21,200 --> 01:58:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna get too tight happen? In this year? We're you

2240
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:26,959
Speaker 1: gonna get two tights Ford, whatever you're going to suggest,

2241
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:28,680
Speaker 1: and and I hate to say this for it, but

2242
01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:30,160
Speaker 1: we thought and we thank you for the call it.

2243
01:58:30,240 --> 01:58:32,080
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to respect what you're saying there

2244
01:58:32,600 --> 01:58:35,400
Speaker 1: um protection is an issue. I don't I don't think

2245
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:39,440
Speaker 1: that's a question. So your point is understood. I just

2246
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:41,600
Speaker 1: think the way in which you intend to do it

2247
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:44,880
Speaker 1: that's not happening this year, that that is not happening

2248
01:58:45,600 --> 01:58:48,240
Speaker 1: for the rest of this season. You are what you are.

2249
01:58:48,720 --> 01:58:51,680
Speaker 1: They just the coaching staff, in concert with the players,

2250
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:54,760
Speaker 1: has to do their best job to make the best

2251
01:58:55,320 --> 01:59:00,320
Speaker 1: of what is an inconsistent situation. It's the bottom line

2252
01:59:00,720 --> 01:59:03,520
Speaker 1: this time of year. And I know you're mentioning Tyler,

2253
01:59:03,560 --> 01:59:06,240
Speaker 1: Eifford and Burton who used to play with the Eagles,

2254
01:59:06,240 --> 01:59:09,120
Speaker 1: And then I think the coltsay after that, you're not

2255
01:59:09,200 --> 01:59:14,040
Speaker 1: bringing somebody in now and it's gonna dramatically poof change

2256
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:18,400
Speaker 1: everything for the better. That just typically the history of

2257
01:59:18,400 --> 01:59:22,280
Speaker 1: the league says that doesn't happen very often this late

2258
01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:25,400
Speaker 1: in the season. I mean, even Leonard Fournette, who joined

2259
01:59:26,080 --> 01:59:30,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks last year right around this time after he

2260
01:59:31,160 --> 01:59:35,520
Speaker 1: just got flat out released by the Jags. Even he

2261
01:59:35,640 --> 01:59:37,640
Speaker 1: did not make a big impact on the Bucks, and

2262
01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:40,880
Speaker 1: that is a super talented player, a top five draft pick,

2263
01:59:41,600 --> 01:59:47,200
Speaker 1: his presence really wasn't felt until this season. So even

2264
01:59:47,240 --> 01:59:49,440
Speaker 1: if you did pick up one of those types of players,

2265
01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:53,120
Speaker 1: to incorporate them into the offense, have them executed a

2266
01:59:53,200 --> 01:59:55,840
Speaker 1: high level with four games left to play, it's a

2267
01:59:55,920 --> 01:59:59,600
Speaker 1: big ask and I don't know that the names you

2268
01:59:59,640 --> 02:00:02,160
Speaker 1: mentioned gonna make that much of a difference, especially if,

2269
02:00:02,200 --> 02:00:05,520
Speaker 1: as you say, you're gonna play them a couple of

2270
02:00:05,560 --> 02:00:08,200
Speaker 1: plays here, a couple of plays there. I mean, they're

2271
02:00:08,200 --> 02:00:11,800
Speaker 1: not gonna be giant role players even coming onto this roster.

2272
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:16,520
Speaker 1: So it's look, we all want fixes, we all want solutions,

2273
02:00:16,520 --> 02:00:20,400
Speaker 1: we all want better and more consistent play. But to

2274
02:00:20,560 --> 02:00:23,720
Speaker 1: manufacture it with a couple of street free agents, it's

2275
02:00:23,760 --> 02:00:28,120
Speaker 1: just a foolhardy thought. I hate to say it, I

2276
02:00:28,160 --> 02:00:33,960
Speaker 1: gotta agree. I mean, I get it, So protect find

2277
02:00:33,960 --> 02:00:37,520
Speaker 1: a way to protect Josh. But if you really want

2278
02:00:37,520 --> 02:00:39,320
Speaker 1: to do that, don't bring two tight ends in. Just

2279
02:00:39,960 --> 02:00:44,200
Speaker 1: bring bring Bits and buttker in. Put them a tight

2280
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:46,040
Speaker 1: end and tell them to be in ineligible and let

2281
02:00:46,080 --> 02:00:49,160
Speaker 1: them block instead. Because you got those guys on your roster.

2282
02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:52,200
Speaker 1: So just bring those guys off the bench, sit Cole

2283
02:00:52,240 --> 02:00:54,960
Speaker 1: Beasley down and put Ike Buttker on the field and

2284
02:00:55,360 --> 02:00:59,040
Speaker 1: help your offense gets better, so your you can protect

2285
02:00:59,080 --> 02:01:02,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback and throw. So yeah, so you can tell

2286
02:01:02,560 --> 02:01:05,880
Speaker 1: what I think of that idea. I mean right, I

2287
02:01:05,920 --> 02:01:09,320
Speaker 1: got a good sense, Eric. Yes, we have to take

2288
02:01:09,360 --> 02:01:12,080
Speaker 1: a break here. More of your phone calls coming up next,

2289
02:01:12,760 --> 02:01:15,240
Speaker 1: Mark and Jersey, Sue and Buffalo hang type. We will

2290
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:18,000
Speaker 1: get to you when we return here on One Bill's Live,

2291
02:01:18,080 --> 02:01:35,240
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

2292
02:01:35,240 --> 02:01:37,520
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bill's Live, final half hour of

2293
02:01:37,520 --> 02:01:42,880
Speaker 1: our three hour Buffalo Football Monday audition. And we do

2294
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:45,040
Speaker 1: have to get back to the phones here, and hopefully

2295
02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:47,440
Speaker 1: we'll have enough time for the tweet sheet as well.

2296
02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:49,800
Speaker 1: I got to still get to that. So let's go

2297
02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:52,240
Speaker 1: back to the phones and we go to Mark in

2298
02:01:52,360 --> 02:01:54,160
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Mark, what do you have for us? You're

2299
02:01:54,200 --> 02:01:56,160
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live. How you doing, Chris? Not a

2300
02:01:56,160 --> 02:02:04,480
Speaker 1: good weekend for Everton or the Bill. That was rough, Um,

2301
02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:06,680
Speaker 1: but you know what builds a lot more than them. Um,

2302
02:02:07,760 --> 02:02:11,000
Speaker 1: everybody wants to just totally remake the roster. I get that.

2303
02:02:11,320 --> 02:02:14,000
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's just crazy knee jerk after a Sunday,

2304
02:02:14,520 --> 02:02:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, terrible loss. But one one on the Passe

2305
02:02:18,120 --> 02:02:22,000
Speaker 1: interference Mike Evans jumping over Leaf by Wallace's back and

2306
02:02:22,080 --> 02:02:24,400
Speaker 1: pulling him to the ground and getting flagged was it

2307
02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:27,840
Speaker 1: was was worse than the Stefan Dicks one. To me.

2308
02:02:28,880 --> 02:02:31,240
Speaker 1: It was To me it was worse because there's nothing

2309
02:02:31,320 --> 02:02:33,440
Speaker 1: Levi could have done there. And I just think these

2310
02:02:33,520 --> 02:02:36,680
Speaker 1: long limb guys like Gronk tend to get more of

2311
02:02:36,680 --> 02:02:40,320
Speaker 1: these calls because they have more body parts flailing and

2312
02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:42,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a like an optic that

2313
02:02:42,480 --> 02:02:45,040
Speaker 1: the refs seem to just react to. I've noticed in

2314
02:02:45,120 --> 02:02:49,480
Speaker 1: other games, Um, the Bills need two big bodies, one

2315
02:02:49,480 --> 02:02:52,200
Speaker 1: on each line. So you know, if you got a

2316
02:02:52,200 --> 02:02:54,360
Speaker 1: guy like Jordan Davis from Georgia playing in front of

2317
02:02:54,400 --> 02:02:57,040
Speaker 1: Fremde Edmonds and Matt Milano, watch how good they become

2318
02:02:57,360 --> 02:03:00,000
Speaker 1: much better they get, you know, playing on the side

2319
02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:02,720
Speaker 1: of all of the defensive line that they've invested in

2320
02:03:02,760 --> 02:03:06,160
Speaker 1: that it allows everybody to play free and obviously an

2321
02:03:06,200 --> 02:03:09,560
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. But I don't think people realize what are

2322
02:03:09,640 --> 02:03:12,280
Speaker 1: running back like Leonard Fournett can do for you. I mean,

2323
02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:16,400
Speaker 1: um Alan doesn't get lit up on that blitz by

2324
02:03:17,160 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Devin White. If there's a running back the size of

2325
02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:23,360
Speaker 1: Fournett to meet him in the hole, it allows your

2326
02:03:23,360 --> 02:03:25,920
Speaker 1: offense to stay on schedule instead of you know, second

2327
02:03:25,920 --> 02:03:29,680
Speaker 1: and long, third and long. You know, Bucks were constantly

2328
02:03:29,680 --> 02:03:33,600
Speaker 1: in you know second and four second and three second,

2329
02:03:33,680 --> 02:03:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, just down and manageable. You know you've got

2330
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:38,080
Speaker 1: one you want to score, and the red zone a

2331
02:03:38,080 --> 02:03:39,960
Speaker 1: little bit more inside of five. You've got a guy

2332
02:03:40,040 --> 02:03:43,160
Speaker 1: like that. That's it's it's not a it's not an

2333
02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:46,160
Speaker 1: overhaul they need. They just need a few more pieces,

2334
02:03:46,320 --> 02:03:51,200
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, Yeah, And I agree with you, Mark,

2335
02:03:51,320 --> 02:03:54,400
Speaker 1: that's a good call on some of these bigger receivers.

2336
02:03:54,960 --> 02:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Basically Steve turning past interference into an art form. Mike

2337
02:04:01,640 --> 02:04:04,920
Speaker 1: Evans does it, and we saw it last night. The

2338
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:07,880
Speaker 1: pass is underthrown, he wants to go make a play

2339
02:04:07,880 --> 02:04:10,520
Speaker 1: on it, there's a defender in his way, so he

2340
02:04:10,560 --> 02:04:16,200
Speaker 1: literally wraps his right arm around Levi's neck to initiate

2341
02:04:16,320 --> 02:04:21,280
Speaker 1: contact and draws the flag. We asked Levi and Dane

2342
02:04:21,360 --> 02:04:23,800
Speaker 1: Jackson after the game, what are you supposed to do

2343
02:04:23,840 --> 02:04:27,160
Speaker 1: in a situation like that, when the ball's underthrown. They're

2344
02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:29,120
Speaker 1: just sitting there shaking their head. I don't know, what

2345
02:04:29,160 --> 02:04:31,800
Speaker 1: do you what do you do? Yeah, yeah, it was

2346
02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 1: it's a rough spot. And Terry mcaulay, former NFL official

2347
02:04:35,320 --> 02:04:37,560
Speaker 1: who's now in the in the booth for I think

2348
02:04:37,960 --> 02:04:41,080
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, he said, yeah, that should not have

2349
02:04:41,120 --> 02:04:45,320
Speaker 1: been defensive pass interference, and it was. The contact was

2350
02:04:45,400 --> 02:04:47,960
Speaker 1: initiated by the receiver coming back for the ball. He's

2351
02:04:47,960 --> 02:04:52,520
Speaker 1: trying to play through the defender who's who's running with him.

2352
02:04:52,640 --> 02:04:55,240
Speaker 1: It shouldn't have been called. Um, you can make it,

2353
02:04:56,120 --> 02:04:59,000
Speaker 1: but it really it's it's irrelevant because the official out there,

2354
02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:00,840
Speaker 1: they got to make a judgment call and they're gonna

2355
02:05:00,880 --> 02:05:05,000
Speaker 1: call it. Um, why they call it that way and

2356
02:05:05,080 --> 02:05:07,960
Speaker 1: not the other way is is the mystery. If you're

2357
02:05:07,960 --> 02:05:10,000
Speaker 1: gonna call that, why don't you call it the same

2358
02:05:10,160 --> 02:05:14,440
Speaker 1: all the time. That's the frustrating part about the whole scenario. Um,

2359
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:17,400
Speaker 1: And I agree with with Mark. I mean everybody wants

2360
02:05:17,400 --> 02:05:18,880
Speaker 1: to I mean, we had the guy, you know, want

2361
02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:20,160
Speaker 1: to trade out, and you want to get a couple

2362
02:05:20,160 --> 02:05:23,640
Speaker 1: of tight ends and start throwing the you know, protecting

2363
02:05:23,800 --> 02:05:27,280
Speaker 1: Josh and remaking the roster. Um. He makes a good point.

2364
02:05:27,480 --> 02:05:31,560
Speaker 1: You need a big body guy down inside Star Latula. Um.

2365
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:34,040
Speaker 1: Although he's been in and out of the lineup. They

2366
02:05:35,400 --> 02:05:38,120
Speaker 1: they need somebody bigger than that. Um. They'll never get

2367
02:05:38,160 --> 02:05:41,320
Speaker 1: a They'll never get a shot at the Davis kid

2368
02:05:41,360 --> 02:05:44,240
Speaker 1: from Georgia. They'll never get him, not unless they move

2369
02:05:44,320 --> 02:05:46,120
Speaker 1: up to the top five in the draft. They're never

2370
02:05:46,120 --> 02:05:47,800
Speaker 1: gonna get it, get him. Because but I go into

2371
02:05:47,840 --> 02:05:50,080
Speaker 1: first three picks after a couple of quarterbacks. But I

2372
02:05:50,160 --> 02:05:55,120
Speaker 1: do like the Bill's draft philosophy of taking big guys

2373
02:05:55,200 --> 02:05:58,760
Speaker 1: high and skill guys in free agency and later in

2374
02:05:58,800 --> 02:06:02,400
Speaker 1: the draft. There are more skill guys out there than

2375
02:06:02,440 --> 02:06:06,520
Speaker 1: there are big guys. There's just statistics, and I'm talking

2376
02:06:06,560 --> 02:06:11,120
Speaker 1: big guys like big guys. They're just and here's and

2377
02:06:11,200 --> 02:06:13,880
Speaker 1: here's why. Because there is a ton of great athletes around,

2378
02:06:14,160 --> 02:06:16,280
Speaker 1: a ton of great athletes, and a lot of them

2379
02:06:16,280 --> 02:06:20,440
Speaker 1: play football. So you can get an athlete, there's a

2380
02:06:20,440 --> 02:06:23,560
Speaker 1: ton of them. But to get an athlete that's six six,

2381
02:06:24,440 --> 02:06:29,320
Speaker 1: three fifty plus three thirty plus, those guys are hard

2382
02:06:29,600 --> 02:06:32,560
Speaker 1: to find. You gotta find those guys when you can

2383
02:06:32,600 --> 02:06:35,560
Speaker 1: go and pick one. Um, and I like the philosophy

2384
02:06:35,560 --> 02:06:37,880
Speaker 1: of the bills that they've that they've displayed over the

2385
02:06:37,920 --> 02:06:41,040
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Get big guys offensive and defensive lineman,

2386
02:06:41,120 --> 02:06:43,200
Speaker 1: and you you can call them pass rushers, defensive ends, whatever

2387
02:06:43,240 --> 02:06:46,000
Speaker 1: you want. Get those guys in the draft at the

2388
02:06:46,040 --> 02:06:49,280
Speaker 1: top of the draft because they've got traits, and then

2389
02:06:49,760 --> 02:06:53,600
Speaker 1: see if you can make and let them fulfill their potential. Athletes.

2390
02:06:53,640 --> 02:06:56,440
Speaker 1: You can find everywhere. Those guys are at every bus

2391
02:06:56,440 --> 02:06:59,839
Speaker 1: station in this country. Now, they can't all play football,

2392
02:07:00,640 --> 02:07:02,600
Speaker 1: but if you're getting them later in the draft, you're

2393
02:07:02,600 --> 02:07:05,920
Speaker 1: gonna get some guys. Gabe Davis a perfect example. You know,

2394
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:10,000
Speaker 1: Isa mccmzi. Yeah, all these guys. There's a ton of

2395
02:07:10,040 --> 02:07:12,320
Speaker 1: guys that are really good athletes that you can you

2396
02:07:12,360 --> 02:07:14,520
Speaker 1: can coach up and get a lot of production out

2397
02:07:14,560 --> 02:07:22,280
Speaker 1: of um, but you can't coach size, tall, heavy dudes.

2398
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:25,000
Speaker 1: Takes a long time for a light guy to get heavy.

2399
02:07:25,280 --> 02:07:28,680
Speaker 1: Ask Bencer Brown, right, well, and I mean Mark doesn't

2400
02:07:28,680 --> 02:07:31,400
Speaker 1: need to tell us that because we watched Ted Washington

2401
02:07:31,480 --> 02:07:34,040
Speaker 1: make John Hollis second Sam Coward look like All Stars

2402
02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:37,760
Speaker 1: for like three years because of what he did upfront,

2403
02:07:38,080 --> 02:07:40,160
Speaker 1: tying up two people. Those guys just ran and hit

2404
02:07:40,200 --> 02:07:42,480
Speaker 1: people and both finished with over one hundred and twenty

2405
02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:46,240
Speaker 1: tackles every year. And we're just getting off the field

2406
02:07:46,280 --> 02:07:50,000
Speaker 1: because they're making plays. Because that guy's tying up two people. Listen,

2407
02:07:50,080 --> 02:07:55,000
Speaker 1: Nick Howard Ballard House was a great example. He was

2408
02:07:55,040 --> 02:07:56,720
Speaker 1: like a fifth or sixth round player. But the guy

2409
02:07:56,800 --> 02:08:00,240
Speaker 1: was six six and a half, weighed three what ever

2410
02:08:02,160 --> 02:08:04,960
Speaker 1: he was, He's a really good sault he played for

2411
02:08:05,120 --> 02:08:10,680
Speaker 1: He played for fifteen years. You know, Ted Washington. The

2412
02:08:10,720 --> 02:08:14,480
Speaker 1: reason you draft guys like that high. You can't find that.

2413
02:08:14,600 --> 02:08:17,160
Speaker 1: There's like one Ted walk I've ever seen one Ted

2414
02:08:17,240 --> 02:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Washington in my life. One. I've seen a ton of

2415
02:08:21,320 --> 02:08:26,200
Speaker 1: guys that look like Charles Woodson, you know or did Yeah,

2416
02:08:26,200 --> 02:08:29,120
Speaker 1: I haven't seen too many Richards Seymour is either, right,

2417
02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:32,320
Speaker 1: those guys you just don't see him, you know, they're

2418
02:08:32,360 --> 02:08:34,960
Speaker 1: just they're just not there. So you gotta get him

2419
02:08:34,960 --> 02:08:36,680
Speaker 1: when you can get him. And if you have, if

2420
02:08:36,720 --> 02:08:40,120
Speaker 1: you get a chance, draft those guys because the athletes come,

2421
02:08:40,920 --> 02:08:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, they're everywhere, but man, oh man, you get

2422
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:45,640
Speaker 1: a guy with that kind of bulk and size and athleticism,

2423
02:08:47,200 --> 02:08:49,520
Speaker 1: it's a big man's game. Bro. You gotta grab him.

2424
02:08:49,520 --> 02:08:52,640
Speaker 1: And so I'm I like the Bill's philosophy, and I wouldn't.

2425
02:08:53,240 --> 02:08:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm well, this a long time away. But when it

2426
02:08:55,880 --> 02:08:57,760
Speaker 1: comes to be March and April and we're talking about

2427
02:08:57,760 --> 02:08:59,600
Speaker 1: the draft, you and me, I'm gonna tell you I

2428
02:08:59,600 --> 02:09:02,560
Speaker 1: won't have a problem with them going offensive line defensive

2429
02:09:02,560 --> 02:09:06,960
Speaker 1: line again. Gotta do it, you, gotta do it, gotta

2430
02:09:07,040 --> 02:09:10,120
Speaker 1: do it. Kalaias Campbell's another guy that comes to mind,

2431
02:09:10,160 --> 02:09:12,920
Speaker 1: another beheman. That's right. But let's go back to the

2432
02:09:12,960 --> 02:09:15,080
Speaker 1: phones and we go to Sue and Buffalo, who's been

2433
02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:20,320
Speaker 1: waiting patiently? What do you have for us? Sue? Sue?

2434
02:09:20,320 --> 02:09:24,200
Speaker 1: Are you there? Hello? Go ahead, John, Sue, what do

2435
02:09:24,200 --> 02:09:28,120
Speaker 1: you have for us? Just one observation and one question.

2436
02:09:28,680 --> 02:09:31,400
Speaker 1: I've noticed the last few games the Bills insist on

2437
02:09:31,560 --> 02:09:34,120
Speaker 1: trying to run up the middle and we don't have

2438
02:09:34,240 --> 02:09:37,280
Speaker 1: one of those bull rushers. To me, it seems they're

2439
02:09:37,360 --> 02:09:40,160
Speaker 1: much more effective when they run to the outside, and

2440
02:09:40,240 --> 02:09:43,240
Speaker 1: they had a couple of plays yesterday that kind of

2441
02:09:43,240 --> 02:09:46,760
Speaker 1: proved that point. Why don't they do that more often?

2442
02:09:47,320 --> 02:09:51,000
Speaker 1: And also a question on hands to the face penalty?

2443
02:09:51,520 --> 02:09:54,480
Speaker 1: Why is it that they call that on the line

2444
02:09:54,880 --> 02:09:57,760
Speaker 1: but yet when somebody's running with the ball and they

2445
02:09:57,800 --> 02:10:04,040
Speaker 1: give them hands to the faith, they don't call that penalty.

2446
02:10:04,160 --> 02:10:07,160
Speaker 1: I was just curious on that. I'll hang up and

2447
02:10:07,200 --> 02:10:11,280
Speaker 1: listen to your comments. Thank you, sure, thanks, Sue Ull

2448
02:10:11,320 --> 02:10:14,760
Speaker 1: take that first one, Steve, Well, run an inside or outside?

2449
02:10:15,040 --> 02:10:17,840
Speaker 1: I'll say this, there's always a design place for the

2450
02:10:17,840 --> 02:10:20,640
Speaker 1: ball to run to, and it's usually once the place snapped.

2451
02:10:20,640 --> 02:10:23,720
Speaker 1: It's usually just a general direction and the running back

2452
02:10:23,760 --> 02:10:26,080
Speaker 1: decides where to go. And it might shock people a

2453
02:10:26,080 --> 02:10:33,360
Speaker 1: lot that rarely do coaches criticize a running back for

2454
02:10:33,560 --> 02:10:35,360
Speaker 1: making a bad cut or a bad read. Now we've

2455
02:10:35,400 --> 02:10:37,720
Speaker 1: all seen him do it. But when you've got the

2456
02:10:37,760 --> 02:10:41,320
Speaker 1: ball in your hand, you you know, everybody takes it

2457
02:10:41,360 --> 02:10:44,280
Speaker 1: for granted. You're doing We're going where you see the opening.

2458
02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:46,560
Speaker 1: So when you go, whether you bounce it out or

2459
02:10:46,600 --> 02:10:49,120
Speaker 1: bounce it inside, it's hard to say because it's even

2460
02:10:49,120 --> 02:10:50,840
Speaker 1: if a ball goes outside, it may not have been

2461
02:10:50,840 --> 02:10:53,000
Speaker 1: designed to go outside, and vice versa. If it was

2462
02:10:53,240 --> 02:10:55,600
Speaker 1: designed to go outside and the guy cuts it back inside,

2463
02:10:55,960 --> 02:10:59,360
Speaker 1: it's there. So it's hard to get a hand on

2464
02:10:59,400 --> 02:11:01,879
Speaker 1: whether the player was even designed to go inside or outside.

2465
02:11:02,040 --> 02:11:03,920
Speaker 1: When you see these guys handed off, certainly on a

2466
02:11:03,960 --> 02:11:06,760
Speaker 1: dive play or a quarterback sneak, obviously, but for the

2467
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:12,160
Speaker 1: most part, it's hard. It's hard to, you know, to

2468
02:11:12,160 --> 02:11:13,960
Speaker 1: criticize a running back when he's got the ball in

2469
02:11:13,960 --> 02:11:16,360
Speaker 1: his hands. And if you're talking about, you know, play calls.

2470
02:11:17,920 --> 02:11:21,920
Speaker 1: When you're talking about play calls, it's easier to criticize

2471
02:11:21,920 --> 02:11:25,760
Speaker 1: the play designed than the play call. Yeah, so I

2472
02:11:25,880 --> 02:11:28,920
Speaker 1: and the other thing too, it's murk as it pertains. Yeah,

2473
02:11:29,080 --> 02:11:31,640
Speaker 1: And as it pertains to last night's game. While the

2474
02:11:31,680 --> 02:11:33,960
Speaker 1: Bills did hit them on a few outside run plays,

2475
02:11:33,960 --> 02:11:36,280
Speaker 1: the twenty nine yard or by singletary comes to mind,

2476
02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:38,840
Speaker 1: you have to remember they were playing the number two

2477
02:11:38,920 --> 02:11:42,280
Speaker 1: run defense in football and Lavante David and Devin White

2478
02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:45,840
Speaker 1: might be the fastest pairing of linebackers in the entire

2479
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:49,160
Speaker 1: league in terms of a one two punch, and running

2480
02:11:49,160 --> 02:11:52,720
Speaker 1: outside on those two guys is supremely difficult. Yeah, And

2481
02:11:52,760 --> 02:11:54,720
Speaker 1: as far as your hands to the face comment about it,

2482
02:11:54,760 --> 02:11:56,880
Speaker 1: when when if you've got the ball and you're running,

2483
02:11:58,040 --> 02:12:02,560
Speaker 1: it's hard to get a penalty if you've got the ball.

2484
02:12:03,200 --> 02:12:04,800
Speaker 1: The penalty is what comes at the end of the

2485
02:12:04,880 --> 02:12:08,400
Speaker 1: run when they catch up to you. So, yeah, you

2486
02:12:08,440 --> 02:12:09,920
Speaker 1: can stiff on them. You can put your hand on

2487
02:12:09,920 --> 02:12:11,960
Speaker 1: a guy's face or whatever. You can't grab him and

2488
02:12:11,960 --> 02:12:14,280
Speaker 1: push him down or drag him or whatever, but you

2489
02:12:14,280 --> 02:12:16,440
Speaker 1: can put your hand there and hold him away from

2490
02:12:16,480 --> 02:12:19,080
Speaker 1: you if you've got the football, if you're an offensive player.

2491
02:12:19,120 --> 02:12:21,959
Speaker 1: So that's why those guys don't get called for penalties.

2492
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:25,000
Speaker 1: All right, break time here, Steve and I to close

2493
02:12:25,080 --> 02:12:27,240
Speaker 1: things up next on One Bills Live. Presenter back to

2494
02:12:27,320 --> 02:12:43,840
Speaker 1: lie to health. It's Buffalo Bill's bread, all right, Chris

2495
02:12:43,880 --> 02:12:47,800
Speaker 1: Bounds tasker here, ready to close things up on a

2496
02:12:47,920 --> 02:12:51,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo Football Monday edition of One Bills Live. One last

2497
02:12:51,600 --> 02:12:53,760
Speaker 1: tweet comment to get in here, Steve, since it's on

2498
02:12:53,800 --> 02:12:56,440
Speaker 1: the topic of conversation we were talking about. Brought to

2499
02:12:56,440 --> 02:12:59,520
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

2500
02:12:59,520 --> 02:13:02,440
Speaker 1: of the Bills. Edwards says bottom line and Mike Ripe.

2501
02:13:02,440 --> 02:13:04,440
Speaker 1: Since the beginning of the season, they don't have the

2502
02:13:04,520 --> 02:13:06,440
Speaker 1: size they need on either side of the ball. Our

2503
02:13:06,520 --> 02:13:09,200
Speaker 1: lines are too small and not nasty Old line needs

2504
02:13:09,240 --> 02:13:11,840
Speaker 1: five guys between three twenty five and three sixty six

2505
02:13:11,960 --> 02:13:14,960
Speaker 1: four plus and nasty D line needs two tackles three

2506
02:13:15,080 --> 02:13:18,120
Speaker 1: fifty plus six four plus and nasty. I think nasty

2507
02:13:18,240 --> 02:13:20,440
Speaker 1: is the theme here since it's in here three times.

2508
02:13:20,440 --> 02:13:25,280
Speaker 1: Just a hunch. Yeah, listen to the Bills have been accused.

2509
02:13:25,320 --> 02:13:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Fournette said it in his postgame comments. They

2510
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:30,120
Speaker 1: didn't think the Bills were a good tackling defense, and

2511
02:13:30,160 --> 02:13:32,960
Speaker 1: that speaks to physicality. They've been run on and the

2512
02:13:33,040 --> 02:13:36,960
Speaker 1: last they've it's become an ongoing problem. It's chronic. They

2513
02:13:37,040 --> 02:13:38,760
Speaker 1: give up a lot of yards in the run game.

2514
02:13:39,480 --> 02:13:42,240
Speaker 1: You thought that maybe last night that Leonard Fournette was

2515
02:13:42,240 --> 02:13:43,680
Speaker 1: going to do it. Then he snapped off the big

2516
02:13:43,760 --> 02:13:45,720
Speaker 1: run in the first half, and then once again, just

2517
02:13:45,800 --> 02:13:47,880
Speaker 1: like we've seen in the past, they kind of got

2518
02:13:47,880 --> 02:13:50,280
Speaker 1: it under control. But that's gonna be a problem, and

2519
02:13:50,280 --> 02:13:52,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be something that's gonna be echoed throughout this

2520
02:13:52,800 --> 02:13:57,760
Speaker 1: season and this offseason to come. Yeah, Steve's got travel

2521
02:13:57,840 --> 02:14:00,400
Speaker 1: plans tomorrow, So Maddie glab will be in me for

2522
02:14:00,440 --> 02:14:03,400
Speaker 1: Tuesday's edition of One Bills Live, and as always, we

2523
02:14:03,480 --> 02:14:06,720
Speaker 1: will have Kyle Brandt joining us from Good Morning Football.

2524
02:14:07,120 --> 02:14:09,000
Speaker 1: For those of you that didn't see it, he made

2525
02:14:09,040 --> 02:14:13,480
Speaker 1: a giant prediction heading into the game, and it almost

2526
02:14:13,600 --> 02:14:17,160
Speaker 1: came true. We'll review that with him when he joins

2527
02:14:17,240 --> 02:14:20,080
Speaker 1: us tomorrow. In the second hour of the show, Steve Tasker,

2528
02:14:20,120 --> 02:14:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm Chris Brown. Thanks for watching and listening. We'll catch

2529
02:14:22,480 --> 02:14:28,520
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. And one
