It's an interesting day weather wise here 87 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: in Orchard Park with the snow kind of lightly following. 88 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: We're totally'll get worse as the day goes along, and 89 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: we've got three hours to do here and we hope 90 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: those three hours don't get words for you. It was 91 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: rough game end yesterday. I said this on the ear. 92 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: You heard some of it on the game rewind, but 93 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: I did say to my partner or sunday partner, Eric Wood, Eric, 94 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: this one's gonna leave a mark. And I feel like 95 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: it is that lost yesterday leaves a mark, you know 96 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: what I mean, because it was so winnable. The game 97 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: was so winnable and was right there right down to 98 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 1: the final kick, the fifty three yard attempt by a housecat. 99 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: A winnable game that goes by the boards against a 100 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: two and six opponent, and that will hurt. And we'll 101 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: talk about the implications of that loss, but it just hurts. 102 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: I think all most Bills fans are feeling it today. Yeah, 103 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: and we suffered through loss of like unfortunately everybody has. 104 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: You suffered through losses like this, Like last year the 105 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: Houston game in Houston was kind of like this. The 106 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: Miami game down there in Miami last year was kind 107 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: of like this game. Games that are really you struggle 108 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: to get over because they're so close and you feel like, man, 109 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: there were so many chances you had to win that 110 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: game or to put it away, and the other team 111 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: got to play on you in it and it hurts you, 112 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: and you you know you just couldn't do it. And 113 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: even at the end when you know that house kiss 114 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: kick would have been a heroic kick to hit it 115 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: there at the end to tie it up. But as 116 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: soon as that game gets over, you know, everybody's like, 117 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: oh man, you start and it's human nature to start 118 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: blaming what hap. Yeah, you played a really talented team 119 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: on the road. You had it to win. Your defense 120 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: still despite the defense is still playing great football. And 121 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: despite what people may tell you about, oh they gave 122 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: up one hundred yard rushing to listen, you can give 123 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: them yards for Christmas. They didn't give up too many points. 124 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: It was. It was a really good defensive effort, gave 125 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: up nineteen points, scored two points, and really did a 126 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: nice job against a really talented bunch. I'll tell you 127 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: one guy that came out of that Yeah, if there's 128 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: a silver lining or if somebody that came out shining 129 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: as a shining star out of that game for Buffalo, 130 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: it was Trey White. Todavious White really played extremely well. 131 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: I think he put a stamp on that game, even 132 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 1: in a defeat, that really goes a long way towards 133 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: his getting the national recognition he deserves. But tough way 134 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: to lose a game really was. We will break down 135 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: this game all afternoon long, and we will encourage you 136 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: to do the same. Eric Wood's going to join us 137 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: at one o'clock, color analyst on the Bills Radio and network. 138 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: He'll be live with the Sun Skype. Chris Brown will 139 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: join us at two and we'll get Brownie's impressions off 140 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: yesterday's loss. But here's the thing, He's I want to 141 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: start this way, Steve, because in this way, and this 142 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: is not an attempt to put a happy face on it, 143 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: it was a tough loss. As they said, it leaves 144 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: a mark but not much has changed from pre kickoff 145 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: yesterday to post kickoff right now. Right the Bills lost. 146 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: They are six and three twice so many wins his losses. 147 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: They remain in the top wildcard spot after yesterday's loss. Now, 148 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: they got to play better. This is not an attempt 149 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: to tell you they don't. They do, and we'll talk 150 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: a lot about that. But that did not change. They 151 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: are still the number one wildcard team with seven games 152 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: left to play, and that's important. You know what else 153 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: hasn't changed. Their issues I think remain the same exactly 154 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: the game. The offense struggles. The defense is very solid, 155 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: and the offense struggles, and the challenge for the Bills 156 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: will be and for us to talk about today and 157 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: through the next week or two at least, the challenge 158 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: will be, how do you fix what goes wrong on 159 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: their offense because there's a lot it is not a 160 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: high functioning offensive attack at all, right now, Yeah, it's yeah, 161 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons we're still seeing 162 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: a developing young quarterback, Josh still has to make better decisions. 163 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: I think there's there's no doubt that these teams are 164 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: having a little bit an eerily similar feel to their 165 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: defensive schemes when they're playing the Buffalo Bills, and that 166 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: they're forcing Josh all and to stand back there and 167 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: think a little bit before he makes the play. They're 168 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: giving him some things that are forcing him to do 169 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: something he's not real good and that's like go to 170 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: a second thing or or feel where the pressures coming 171 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: away from where they showed it and make an adjustment. 172 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: There a number of times when they're giving him a 173 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: couple of crucial times when Josh has to make an 174 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: unexpected decision and he's just not doing it on a 175 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: consistent enough basis. There's a couple of times yesterday where 176 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: the defense almost you know, they were they backed off, 177 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: rushed for on a third and a couple and if 178 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: Josh would have done what he did as a rookie, 179 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: he would have made the play. Just pull it down 180 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: and run. Yeah, and he's still trying to make that throw. 181 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: He tried to make a couple of throws yesterday that 182 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: were ill advised, you know, tough throws, almost impossible throws 183 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: to make when there was an easier throw on the 184 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: other side of the field or in another area of 185 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: the defense that he could have made and made it easily, 186 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: and he's just not getting down through the progression or 187 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: not making those decisions quick enough. I think the defenses 188 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: are forcing him to think, and he doesn't have enough 189 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: experience at this point in his career not to have 190 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: to think, Yeah, look, there's a lot wrong with your offense. 191 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: We know that, and we've seen that through nine games 192 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: so far, and there's no you know, what's going to change. 193 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: Will there be a from attic and radical transformation of 194 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: their offense in the final seven games? Not likely, right, 195 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: There's no influx of talent coming in, there's no more 196 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: trade deadline that's coming gone, so that's not likely to change. 197 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: What you look for is improvement, and this team is 198 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: good enough defensively to get by and make a playoff run, 199 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: which they are in position to do so provided their 200 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: offense improves. And they've got a lot of room for improvement. 201 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: And I do I think you said the same thing. 202 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: I do think it starts right now with the quarterback. 203 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: Better decision making, better vision of the field, deeper understanding 204 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: of what he sees and where to go with the 205 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: ball now. I was asked this question on a radio 206 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: appearance this morning about Josh and look and watching the 207 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: game over again. I obviously called the game and watch 208 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: it over today. I'm not going to tell you that 209 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: Josh was lockdown receivers yesterday. That wasn't an issue. But 210 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: he didn't seem to get to his second or third 211 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: options in the passing game. Stephen and whether that's a 212 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: I think it's an experience function and you wish it 213 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: were better, but it's not. He didn't seem to get to, 214 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: you know, the alternatives, including on the big third down 215 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: play before the fifty three year field goal missed by 216 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: house guy Colb Easley, was clearly open. He never got there. 217 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: He never looked that way. You would need the Bills 218 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: need Josh Ellen to develop more of a sense of 219 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: where to look, where to go with the ball, what's 220 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: out there? What does this defense present to me? And 221 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't. He's not quite there yet, and there's a 222 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: ways to go before he gets there. Twenty NFL starts, 223 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm prepared to give him everything he needs to continue 224 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: that for at least the rest of the season, but 225 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. I'm yeah, I'm not quite 226 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: down that road so far as you I don't think 227 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: there's you know, I don't think that this offense is broken. 228 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: I just think their quarterback needs to play better. They've 229 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: got guys that are doing winning enough that this team 230 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: should win on a more consistent or score more points 231 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: on a consistent basis. They really have enough guys out 232 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: there to help Josh Allen do it. But the defenses 233 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: and at this level are forcing him to do some 234 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: things he's not ready for yet, at least not quickly 235 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: enough in his own mind. I think he's he's still doesn't. 236 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: He doesn't hasn't seen enough that he can just react 237 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: to what the defense does rather than have to think 238 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: his way through it. Now, if they do this, or 239 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: what's that meaning? Oh yeah, I think okay, on this play, 240 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: my ANSWER's over here, But on a different play would 241 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: be somewhere else. He's still going through those mental gymnastics 242 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: and for his you know, for what I just said, 243 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 1: that's ten times longer than you have to take to 244 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: get to that point. I think he'll get there, But 245 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not. You know, I'm not soured on 246 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: this offense, and I know and every time the team loses, 247 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, Brian Dable gets thrown under the bus by 248 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people. I'm I'm nowhere near that as well. 249 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I when I see options out there and 250 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: Josh just not being ready, mentally, accurate, accurate enough to 251 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: get down there to them. You know, it's hard for me. 252 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: It's hard for me to see Cole Beasley on that 253 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: last third down play. See Cole Beasley standing by himself 254 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: on the thirty yard line with nobody, it's literally with 255 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: nobody even in ten yards of him. And say Brian 256 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: Dable didn't dial up a winner because he it yep. 257 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: And that's and there's some other things too. Then Josh 258 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: goes deep once in a while, and I know we 259 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: talk about going deep man, there's you can't do that once, 260 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: but man o man on a third and four and 261 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: you're dropping back yet time time time jet pull the 262 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: thing down, fall forward five yards and stay on the feet. 263 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: Talking about the third quarter and double teams. He had 264 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: all kinds of open space in front of him. So 265 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: there's there's moments like that through and there doesn't have 266 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: to be many, like four or five over the course 267 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: of a fifty play game. And that's it. I mean, 268 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: that's those are the plays that bring you to victory. 269 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: And and Josh is still waiting to make those. So 270 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: I'm I'm And people say, well, the defense is given 271 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 1: up all these rushing gears. I don't care. They're only 272 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: giving up nineteen points. I mean, that's that's the where 273 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: the crux of it is. And this is a throwing league. 274 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: If a team wants to come out and try and 275 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: do what they're doing. The Browns almost handed. They were 276 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: doing every They couldn't have handed the Bills the game, 277 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: and the Bills couldn't Josh couldn't get him in the 278 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: end zone. So I'm, well, I think we defense, This 279 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: defense is playing lights out. Offense is the issue. The 280 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: offense is the problem. They can't score enough points, right, 281 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: and and but here I want to say this too. 282 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: In a close game like that yesterday, Um, the Bills 283 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: had chances still and yeah, the kicking game, I mean, 284 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: how is a miss from thirty four is missed from 285 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: fifty three. That's sort of an if you proposition. But um, 286 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: they are not set up to withstand two miss field goals. Right, 287 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: you made the point this morning, we're talking that's their 288 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: margin of error exactly, That's it. I mean, they if 289 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: they hit those, obviously, it's a very different football game. 290 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: They go in leading at halftime and they get the station. 291 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: You know that things stack up on them. It's a 292 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: very different football game. But that's their margin of error. 293 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: Everybody's when their offense struggles to score points, you gotta 294 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: capitalize on every opportunity. Now, that last kick obviously would 295 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: have been very different if all things happened like they did. 296 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 1: That game's tied. When how Skild tries the fifty three 297 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: yarder and that, and let me tell you something that 298 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: that would have been, like I said, a heroic kick. 299 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if it would have reached, but it 300 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: would have been to win, not to tie. It would 301 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: have you know, the game would have been tied. Uh, 302 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: everything else being equal. Uh. So that's their margin of error. 303 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: The way that game came down. That's kind of what 304 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: we have to as Bills fans. Whether you like it 305 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: or not, you better get into comfortable with embracing it. 306 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: This is who that team is. And they're gonna win, win, 307 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: and lose like that, yes, because their offenses struggle right 308 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: so much, their offense are gonna make a play once 309 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: and while it's gonna give them that margin of victory 310 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: or they're gonna miss a field goal here there, or 311 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: miss a pass or something, and it's going to be 312 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: the margin of defeat. So that's where they're at right now, 313 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: and you gotta get comfortable with that. Here's another margin 314 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: of victory type thing. And look, the defense was was 315 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: okay yesterday, it was okay, gave up nineteen points, but 316 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: it was tough to watch Levi Wallace struggle the way 317 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: he did, right And as it wasn't just yesterday, but yesterday. 318 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: Landry ten targets, nine catches, most of them against Levi Wallace, 319 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: one of them for a touchdown. Um, that's civicult to see. 320 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: And again you're giving up touchdowns, um when you can't 321 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: when you know your offense is going to struggle to 322 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: get touchdowns. That's hard to watch. And it's hard to 323 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: watch Levi Wallace struggle on the other side of the ball. 324 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: And you mentioned it briefly earlier. Tardevious White played maybe 325 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: his finest game as a Buffalo Bill and should get 326 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: League White attention for essentially handling handling m Odell Beckham 327 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: twelve targets. Beckham had twelve targets, Oldly caught five passes, 328 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: didn't do a whole lot of damage. But again, as 329 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: Steve has pointed out, when you don't score a lot 330 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: of points, you can't have a day like Levi Wallace 331 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: head yesterday. You just can't. You can't give it up 332 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, and here's the thing too, when you've 333 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: got a guy like Tardavious White on the other side, 334 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna get an inordinate amount of targets. So Levi 335 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: Wallace is in for a long day every single weekend 336 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: because Tardavious White is shutting people down. So Levi Wallace 337 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: is under the gun. And certainly they can scheme a 338 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: little bit to help him, but they can't do everything 339 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: for him, right, I mean they can't. They can give 340 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: him some over the top safe to help. They can 341 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: give him some moments where they where he can double 342 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: teams some guys where he's got a little help now 343 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: and again, but teams are still gonna go after him. 344 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: They cannot throw at Turdevius and that means once in 345 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: a while he's gonna be stuck. So uh, that's just 346 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: the way of the world is. For the guy who 347 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: playing opposite Tredavious why lee By Wallace is is gonna 348 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: be under it. And you know, we were watching on 349 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: video right now. Turdavious is gonna think. I know he 350 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: stayed awake last night thinking about that ball to hit 351 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: off his mask. He should have caught it on that 352 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: that was on the final touchdown drive. He could have 353 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: had that, and that would have been a real problem 354 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: for Cleveland. But it didn't happen. And that's the way 355 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: it goes. But he's playing great. The defense as a 356 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: whole is a they're they're playing really really good football 357 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: on the defensive side, despite you know us who watch 358 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: him all the time, and a Bill So I'm talking 359 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: about Bills fans and you and Meemer. You see, you 360 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: see the running game getting Nick, getting him Nick. That's 361 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: not beating him. I mean, you can say whatever you want, 362 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: maybe about the time of possession that kind of thing, 363 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: but man, oh man, teams are struggling to get in 364 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: that That goal lines ten yesterday's epic. You know, it 365 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: kept him off the field. The defense scored a safety 366 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: right out a halftime. Um, you know they had they 367 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: got it going on on that side of the ball. 368 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: Don't throw out the baby with the bath water, you know. 369 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a tough loss to take, but don't 370 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: think like the defense should have gone out and what 371 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: had three pick sixes to put that game away? I mean, 372 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: that just doesn't happen. Yeah, they do. They do, and 373 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: that's a and that's a function too. You can say 374 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: this too. That's a function of their run defense a 375 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: little bit too. You don't really see too many turnovers 376 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: in the run game. When they start throwing it around 377 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: once in a while you get a tip pass or whatever. 378 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: But this defense, no matter what, this defense is playing 379 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: really really good and it's a as a result. As 380 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: as hard as our it is for offense to score point, 381 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: this is a really tough team. We're still a really 382 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: good football team. The Bills are really tough. Their playoff 383 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: caliber team as it sits right now, in fact, a 384 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: really good playoff team. And despite the tough loss yesterday, 385 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: they're tough to beat. They're tough to beat and it's 386 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: gonna remain so for the remainder of this season. And 387 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: but you better. I'm of Bills fans. I know it's 388 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: not fun, but you got to learn to embrace this 389 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: kind of game. And sometimes you lose them, and sometimes 390 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: you want a lot of them they win. But that's 391 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: where you're at, right now and that's what's who you are, 392 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: so you better be comfortable with it. Tough game, tough 393 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: loss for sure, and a lot to talk about today, 394 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: and we'll take your comments in question.

That's kind of strange for me a little bit, 412 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: but I feel, I feel, I still feel really good 413 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: about this football team, really good. And I know yesterday 414 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: was a bummer. Yesterday it was tough, but I feel 415 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: good about seven games left, still a half a season 416 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: essentially left. I feel good about it that I do. 417 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: I still feel really good about it. Let's get some 418 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: calls in here. Joe on the lane. Good afternoon, Joe, 419 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hey guys, what's going on? Just 420 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: a few things, um. First of all, Devin Singletary eight carries, 421 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: Josh Allen six carries, Frank Gore five carries. Totally unacceptable. 422 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: Joe Brown's in the box eight most of the time. Okay, 423 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: but I mean there was no change as far as 424 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: the game went on to even try more to run 425 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: them because the Browns mostly had eight guys in the box. 426 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: For Joe, Joe, here's what happens if they get out there. 427 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: Most offenses in the NFL will have some rules that 428 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: they follow about what they want to do when they 429 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: come out of the huddle. And if the if the 430 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: team in the you know, is doing what the Browns did, 431 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: and let's face it, you gotta understand, Joe, I mean, 432 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: if you were any team that's playing the Buffalo Bills, 433 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't you force the game into Josh Allen's hands? Well, 434 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: of course, but well, okay, then well why don't you 435 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: think that's what the Browns did. Singletary had a couple 436 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: of few clean breaks. Yeah, he did, he did, and 437 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: they were both. I was watching it this morning. Singletary 438 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: had some really nice runs. He had a long of 439 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: like eight or nine yards. He had a couple of 440 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: them like that, and his average per carry was five 441 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: point three. So but here's the thing. I mean that 442 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: the this offense, I mean, I think every offense in 443 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: the NFL kind of has that in place where you 444 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: don't bang your head against the wall. I mean, you know, 445 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: we saw Frank Gore do that a couple of times yesterday. 446 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: He was having trouble getting going, and you know, people 447 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: are starting to have doubts about his effectiveness going forward 448 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: just because of the fact that they're trying to bang 449 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: his head against the wall. But I get it. I mean, 450 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: Josh threw the football forty one times. That's kind of 451 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: out of character for the Bills offense. You guys were 452 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: making you were kind of making fun of me. This morning. 453 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: But I looked this up because you know, this has 454 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: kind of come up. Remember when I looked up the 455 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: Latin phrase post hoc propter hock. So because this happened 456 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: after that, it's because of that, and that I think 457 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: is a fault. And when you look at yeah, the 458 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: numbers are, you know, fourteen carries by Buffalo running backs, 459 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: right and forty one passes by Josh. It's out of whack, 460 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: it's out of balance. I do think it has something 461 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: that I know it has something to do with the 462 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: way the Browns lined up and played defense yesterday. I 463 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: don't think they went into the game Ryan Dable or 464 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: anybody saying we're gonna throw it forty times and only 465 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: give it to our running backs thirteen times. No way, 466 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: that's the look they got. That's the way. That's the 467 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: way it played out. But just because you can point 468 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: to the numbers now after the fact, doesn't mean that's 469 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: what caused it. And it didn't cause I don't think 470 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: that's what caused the law. Yeah, I don't think they 471 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: tried to abandon the run. Happen to excited Latin earlier. No, 472 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: I didn't laugh at you. I raised my eyebrows. But 473 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I don't think they came in there 474 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: wanting Josh. They don't want Josh Allen to throw forty 475 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: one time, so Bills don't. They would rather him throw 476 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: like and we had this conversation a week or two. 477 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: They want to throw it about thirty times or a 478 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: little less than thirty times a game, and run it 479 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: like more like thirty times a game, right, twenty five 480 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: to thirty. And yesterday they got out because that's what 481 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: the Browns were really wanting the Bills to do. That 482 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: that was their plan. And certainly you can make a 483 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: case for like maybe spreading them out and then trying 484 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: to run it, but you know that didn't work out. 485 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that's That was the Browns plan, 486 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: was to put the game in Josh Allen's hands, and 487 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: and Josh couldn't come up with it. I mean, that's 488 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: just as you could. They couldn't throw the football effectively enough. 489 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: There's a call from Ralph in Atlanta. Hello, Ralph, you're 490 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: on the air with this. Oh thank you guys, thank 491 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: you for taking my cough. Sure, I'm just sitting here, 492 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: just a few things, just sitting here watching it to 493 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: play of the game from yesterday, and I have to 494 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: agree Tony with Steve. Watch that game, there was a 495 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: lot of plays that Josh kind of left out there, 496 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: like a crossing patterings guys should kind of run a 497 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 1: wide open And I know he was under pressure little 498 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: bit sometime, but those are the places that we have 499 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: to make to be successful. And I watched even some 500 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: of the long balls that we were throwing the long 501 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: ball wins Cleveland were in zones where they were kind 502 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: of backing off and set it up to going to 503 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: a checkdown or maybe the wide receiver, you know, switching 504 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: up his route and maybe doing a crossing pattern something quick, 505 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 1: and we continue to stay with that, you know, just 506 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: one of those little things. Like I said, some of 507 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: the play calling tho I was a little bit questionable, 508 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: but there were plays to be made yesterday. I just 509 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: think that the opportunity was then we didn't take advantage 510 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: of it. And the second thing, it's also too defensively. 511 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: I think we are to move Tremaine to outside linebacker. 512 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: I think he's a lot more effective. It seemed like 513 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: he just caught up in the wash. Wheney directly at 514 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: him and then Wallace. It might be trying to start 515 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: looking at Kevin Johnson right now. I think whileacecomplice is 516 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: kind of broken, maybe get Kevin there and kind of, 517 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, get a little different Sason question for Ralph, 518 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: who plays middle linebacker? If you move Tremaine outside, If 519 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: we moved Tremaine outside, I'm just saying, maybe possibly trying 520 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: him outside at who plays his spot? Who plays inside? Um, 521 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: maybe we try Milano. I know he's kind of on 522 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: a small side, but atlantamans the same thing with a 523 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: small linebacker in the middle. I hear you're rough and 524 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: one thing, and you may, hey, I don't know. I 525 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: kind of doubt there thinking that. But here's the thing. 526 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,719 Speaker 1: They may not make that move because they don't have 527 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: a guy to play. You know what I'm saying. There 528 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: may not be anybody ready to play Tremaine's spot. And 529 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: let's face it, we've talked about this a lot. Ralph 530 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: Tremaine is the lynch pin of that defense and that 531 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: defense is playing really well. And I think you're getting 532 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: a sense of what the Bill's coaching staff thinks is 533 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: the problem. I don't think they think it's Tremaine. I 534 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: think the fact that they signed Corey Legion that they 535 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: brought Zach Taylor up from the practice squad. I think 536 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: they lost Harrison Phillips. I think they believe that it's 537 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: the guy's up front more so than is the linebacking corps. 538 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 1: That is the problem in the run game. You can 539 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: see it by the fact that they're trying all these 540 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: different combinations up front. But yeah, I get what you're saying. 541 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: Once in a while they get to Tremaine and he 542 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: can't has trouble find it down. But I don't trouble 543 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: getting to the ball. But I don't think on a 544 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: consistent basis, that's the real issue in the runs game. 545 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: It's is the play caller for a defense. It remains 546 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: third ranked in the NFL. They are pretty good defense. 547 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: I don't know that the Tremaine is struggling to the 548 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: point where you want to replace him out of the middle. 549 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: And by the way, he's a little bit like Josh 550 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: in this sense, uh Josh Allen on the other side 551 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: of the ball. They have invested time in teaching him 552 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: how to, you know, call out the defenses. They've invested 553 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: time and in playing that position. I wouldn't with a 554 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: six and three record I wouldn't want to make any 555 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: radical changes to the third best defense in the league, right, Yeah, 556 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: I get and I hear that the stuff about Levi 557 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: Wallace too, But like I said a minute ago, Ralph 558 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: the caller, Levi's getting a ton of targets that a 559 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: lot of DBS league just won't see that much because 560 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: they can't throw a Turdavius. So Levi's getting picked on, 561 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: whether he likes it or not. Right, And if he 562 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: said I would, I would look at that. It looks 563 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: Adam Johnson is the corner, right, really would Yeah? And 564 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: former first round pick something? I agree. I agree, that's 565 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: one glaring thing that maybe and and Ralph, you may 566 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: be right. I don't know. I don't talk to Levi 567 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: and I don't talk to the coaches. I don't know 568 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: if Levi's confidence is shot or how he feels about 569 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: the way he's playing. But you know we all see 570 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: it because I mean, and we've heard teams are looking 571 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: at him and they're they're looking at that's where we 572 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: can win, And so they're looking try to get a 573 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: match up on on Levi Wallace because Turdavious is taking 574 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: the other guy away. So he's gonna see that, But 575 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: I don't think Listen, I get it, we all want 576 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: to tinker with the team after every game and after 577 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: every win or loss, in particularly after the losses. I 578 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: don't see this team tinkering with his defense very much, 579 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: should they, right? I just can't see it. They're giving 580 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: I mean, they're giving up less than twenty points a game, 581 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: and a net seventeen points this yesterday. So I'm you know, 582 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: the deep. I'll listen to you about the offense and 583 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: all of that and you know stuff, but you know, 584 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: I think most of it it. I think most of 585 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: our issues with the offense kind of focus around Josh 586 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: and his decision making, getting the ball out of his hands, 587 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,719 Speaker 1: seeing things before they happen, and and not predetermining what 588 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna do on a play after until after the 589 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: ball and you know, he's gotta wait till after the 590 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: ball snap, and he's you know, he hasn't seen enough 591 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: to do that yet. But on defense, man, I'm not 592 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm not fixing too many problems over there. You gotta 593 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: break care. We got more to come, including your thoughts 594 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: on yesterday's lost to the Cleveland Browns. Give us a call. 595 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: Eight O three five fifty toll free from Outside Buffalo 596 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: one eight eight five fifty two five fifty. It is 597 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: One Bills Live on the Air, presented by Kalida Health 598 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: Live from the Seneca Studio, Seneca Resorts and Casino. Nothing 599 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: comes close back one of those live Jam Murphy, Steve 600 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: Tasker and our one Buffalo Studio just took a look outside. 601 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 1: We got snow coming down. Steve, it's kind of cool. 602 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: What's the matter you just came up? What do you? 603 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: Where do you? Where are we standing today on analytics? Oh, 604 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: that's kind of a broad question. I know I'm far him, right, 605 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: I guess right, because I'm farm all the nobody ever 606 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: used to talk about going forward. I'm I'm not I'm 607 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: against him. Um, nobody used to ever think about going 608 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: forward on fourth dow unless was fourth and inches, you 609 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: know it was, you know. But now, I mean, the 610 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: Bills went for it twice yesterday on the Cleveland thirty 611 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: six and another at the Cleveland thirty nine. They went 612 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: forward on both times, and they missed on both both attempts. 613 00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: And wow, you know, I mean, I know, are you 614 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: saying they shouldn't have Well, they're just at the I 615 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: mean they're just at the outside of you know, field 616 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: goal range. And if you punt it, what are you 617 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: gonna do net fifteen yard punt if it goes in 618 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: the end zone, or even a net twenty yard punt. Uh, 619 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: you're down at the sixteen yard line. I mean, so 620 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: I get it. They go for it, they didn't. You know, 621 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: it didn't work out, and you go back to a punt. Yeah, 622 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: why don't you put right? I didn't mind either one 623 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: of those cuffs. I didn't three of eleven and fourth 624 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: towns this year, which is not good. But it's not good. 625 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: But there's circumstances on fourth downs, like in some cases, 626 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: like in Buffalo for the prior to games, the weather yesterday. 627 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: You know, how much faith do you have in your kicker. 628 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: That's why you might go for it instead of what 629 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: they asked you. A fifty eight yeard field goal at 630 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: one right, you're not gonna do that, And I get it. 631 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: But but here's the thing, here's my point, Murph. That's 632 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: why you don't go for it because all those conditions 633 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: and things that conditions and circumstances. I don't want to 634 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: make a rule. We don't go for it because I 635 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: know no, you don't want that evaluate each situation. And 636 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: by the way, I do think I thought it was 637 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: the right move at the time. I got to say, 638 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: but I do believe the Bills are headed in the 639 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: right direction in the use of analytics on which fourth 640 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: downs are the ones to go for? Uh. And it's 641 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: not just a gut feeling by Sean McDermott. It's use 642 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: of analytics. It's game situation which sometimes don't take into account. 643 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: I'm good where they're ever think about this either one 644 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: of those four. And it's interesting too. The first touchdown, 645 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: Jarvis Lander gets the penalty, they accept the penalty on 646 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: the field goal instead of the kickoff on the extra point, 647 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: and the guy misses for you, And that's really that. 648 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: You know, that had a domino effect big down the line. 649 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: So and in a game where the Bills, I mean 650 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: we all know this. The Bills are are always going 651 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: to be in tight games. I mean, it's just are 652 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: because right this that's our modum, right, that's our modus operendi. Right, 653 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: that's how it guard it, right, because they that's points 654 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: are preeming. So to make that call there and get 655 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: them to miss them through it, that was that's pretty 656 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: good move right there. And and I'm not so. I 657 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: know it's a tough loss to take. And I know 658 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: we've got people now they want to take Tremaine Edmunds 659 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: and move him. I'm like, bro, just pump the brakes 660 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: a little bit. They're a good football team. They're difficult 661 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: to beat. These games that the Bills lose, with the 662 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: exception of the Philly game, that's really the game of 663 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: the year where the Bills are like, oh man, we 664 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: get they handed it to him. But the Patriot game, 665 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: the h and this last Cleveland game, and then you 666 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: go back through like the Tennessee game. Tennessee missed four 667 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: field goals or kicks and they win by a narrow margin. 668 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: That's where we're at. That's where the team is at. 669 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: So you gotta, like I keep saying, you gotta embrace, 670 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: you gotta be ready to embrace that we're gonna be 671 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: in games like this and that's why these games are 672 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: hard to lose. And you feel fortunate when you win. 673 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean don't start change and everything because 674 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: you lose a game like this. You wouldn't change it. 675 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: If if hous kick goes through and the Bills come 676 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: out and win in overtime, or if he made both 677 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: those kicks and they win with that field goal yesterday. 678 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: You're not thinking about changing all the things, and that's 679 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: where you're at. You gotta kind of you're gonna have 680 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: to play in games like this. That's the twenty nineteen 681 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: season as it looks right now. And maybe you'll get 682 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: a game where Josh, you know, bust loose for forty points, 683 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: or maybe it's get a game where you win six 684 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: to three or lose six to three. That's that's where 685 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: you're at. That's where you're won twice as many games 686 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: as they've lost so far. So you know why because 687 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: of the defense. Yeah, they're really tough to beat on 688 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: both sides. You got a quarterback that got a big 689 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: arm and he can run, and he got a pretty 690 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: good offensive line, and he got some what you got 691 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: these tight ends. You know, they've got multiple formations in personnel. 692 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: They're tough to beat. That's why they're six and three 693 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: and they're gonna continue to be left to broadcast booth 694 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: in Cleveland's First Energy Stadium yesterday ventured down to the 695 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: locker room and got some locker room comments let's listen 696 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: in Let's go around the Locker Room. Brought to you 697 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: by can Neck Life Blood and organ Donor Network Around 698 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: the Locker Room. Quarterback Josh Hallen on the offensive struggles 699 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: against the Browns. I mean, the fact is, our defense 700 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: played extremely well today. They give us a chance. Um, 701 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: and everybody knows you got to score more than sixteen 702 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: to win this league, and we didn't even do that today. 703 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: With the next cute, Um, I gotta do better job 704 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: finding completions and getting the ball to our guys. We've 705 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: got deep shots. I got to take advantage of those 706 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: and be able to connect on those, and something you 707 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: know we're gonna work on. And um, you know, obviously 708 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: we're disappointed with today. It's good, we'renna learn from it, 709 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: but you know, it's it's the one. It's one of 710 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: that kind of hurts because, um, you know, the preparation 711 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: that we had and I thought it was good enough, 712 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: and we had a really good week of practice, and 713 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: there was opportunities in that game where you know, I 714 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: gotta be better. Head coach Shot Mcturnmott on his decision 715 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: to go for a field goal on the final offensive drive. Yeah, 716 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: I mean fifth, we're in the range of the field goal. 717 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: We felt like, um, I'll be at high, high field 718 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: goal range and we got confidence in house. UM. So 719 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: we were in fourth and really it was fourth and four, 720 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: fourth and three and a half, fourth and four there 721 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: and want to give us a chance to go to 722 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: extended time if we could. There were some good things, um, 723 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: but overall, too many opportunities that we didn't we didn't 724 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: capitalize on. UM. We had some third manageables in there 725 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: throughout the game and we didn't come away with either 726 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: the first down or points. UM. And so we had 727 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: some penalties in there. UM that also hurt us. I thought, 728 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: but we've got to score. We have to be a 729 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: threat to score more points. Get care Steven House get 730 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: on his field gold attempt at the end of the game. 731 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: It's tough. This is one of the hardest, hardest things 732 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: as the kickers. It's a tough pill to swallow, and 733 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: it hurts. And um, yeah, I mean my teammates out 734 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: there running, running, you know, just given everything they have, 735 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: and it hurts, hurts to let him down. Light backer 736 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander. The Bill's lack of execution from the first 737 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: half to the second half. I don't know what it is. 738 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: So we need to address it and and fix it. 739 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: But I don't know how how you go about doing 740 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: it because it's not like gods. I don't know how 741 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: to do it because obviously shown from half to half 742 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: that you know we get execute, so um, something has 743 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: to do as far as to start faster and getting 744 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: things rolling. Safety Jordan Poyer on the eight play goal 745 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: line stand. It's crazy, crazy sequence right there. You know, 746 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: had a pass interference. How's out there? Garn o'delli and 747 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: then Trade came out there and get they read the 748 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: sand back play and you know you get first and 749 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: first goal from the one yard line and our defense 750 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: is able to step up and make those big plays 751 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: and you know that was huge, huge for huge first 752 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: team at that moment. So something that would definitely want 753 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: to build off. They go around the locker room. Brought 754 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: to you by Connected like Blood and organ Donor Network. 755 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: You know, Lorenzo said something and going into the game, 756 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: and we've said it a couple of times, you and 757 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: I not together, but boy, the Bills need would benefit 758 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: by getting off to a good start in this game, 759 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: a good start. They haven't really gone off to a 760 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: good start in many of the game. Is year have 761 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: they the Giants? I'm thinking maybe, right, didn't they take 762 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: an early lead on the Giants? But no, No, the 763 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: Giants came out and scored on their first driving and 764 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: they answered the offensive. But they're not they're not fast starters. 765 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: And it happened yesterday. Brown scored on their first possession 766 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: off the opening kickoff um apropos of nothing other than 767 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: the fact like, okay, this is gonna be a game 768 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: these are and he hopes you might have had that 769 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: the Browns were still dysfunctional and weren't going to respond 770 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: well with their backs of the wall. They're dashed on 771 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: the first drive of the game. They didn't start well. 772 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 1: They didn't start fast. No, I think the Browns came 773 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: out and played extremely well. I mean they executed really well. 774 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: But I think it's one thing too and don't And 775 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: it's easiest sit here and say, well, there's something they're 776 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: gonna have to look at, you know, about how they 777 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: prepare the team. How you talking about the Bills and 778 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: getting them off to a faster start on both sides 779 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: of the ball. And I'm sure that Sean McDermott is 780 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 1: already self examining about how they can come out and 781 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: get you know, get better execution earlier in the game, 782 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 1: whether it's their pregame ritual there um, their preparation during 783 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: the week, whether it's whatever script they're looking at um 784 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: to get going offensively or defensively. What their philosophy is 785 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: early in games. They they've got to tinker with it. 786 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: And I think Sean mcdermot's the first guy that'll tell 787 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: you that. You know, the coaches look at themselves first 788 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: when it certainly when it becomes uh predictable or a 789 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: trend or a characteristic of your team not to start fast, 790 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, whatever however you want to 791 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: describe this lack of ability to get out to a 792 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: fast start on both sides of the ball, you know, 793 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: that's you know, they look at it constantly and they're 794 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: gonna try and figure out a way to make sure 795 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: it happens. Yeah, you know, really bad third quarters and 796 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: good fourth quarters. But it's also been the case too 797 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: they've overcome that stuff, particularly on the defensive side. They 798 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: you know, you look at what happened to him last 799 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: week against UM Washington. You know, they gave up almost 800 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 1: one hundred yards to Adrian Peterson in the first half, 801 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 1: and he got completely shut off in the second half. 802 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: So they it's in there and something's got to change 803 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: with whether way they're doing business to get to go, 804 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, and the first drive is to do the 805 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: second or third drive. So take a few more phone 806 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 1: calls in here. We're going to Michael and Hamburg. Michael, 807 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air with us. Hey, guys, 808 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: how's it going? Okay? Good? I just wanted to address 809 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: the lack of intelligence and the lack of a history 810 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: that I see in Brian Davil winning as an offensive coordinator. 811 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: Lack of intelligence like what when he started off in 812 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine for Cleveland ten years ago. We're 813 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: going back ten years where history repeats itself as we 814 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: could both see. So, you know, I'm trying to be 815 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: biased here. I don't want to be biased. I'm a 816 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: little upset. I've been a fan all my life. Go ahead, 817 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: you're upset about three losses? Go ahead. Thirty second ranked 818 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,320 Speaker 1: offense in two thousand and nine, next year, twenty ninth 819 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: rank when he went to these are yeah, those are 820 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: the expansion Cleveland Browns. Would they or would you say 821 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,399 Speaker 1: ninety nine or Night two thousand and nine and two ten, 822 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: twenty ninth and thirty second ranked offense in the NFL. 823 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: Who was his quarterback? Sorry? Who I'm just asking you? 824 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: I mean, who was he working with? Who's his quarterback 825 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: in two thousand nine for the Cleveland Browns? Was it 826 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: one of the twenty guys on the list that they 827 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,720 Speaker 1: went through in I mean, that's what you're talking about. 828 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Michael, do me a favor. Let's cut out 829 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: the recitation of history and get to your point. What 830 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: is your point? So the point ends he's got a 831 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,439 Speaker 1: losing history as an offensive coordinator. I mean in two 832 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: thousand and twelve he also failed for Kansas City. We 833 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: got more history coming here. Okay, so this is a 834 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: history time guy. So do you think? So? What do 835 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: you think? Michael? Did you see anything positive about what 836 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: was schemed up yesterday about I mean, you're gonna put 837 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: it all on Brian day ball, the miss third down opportunities, 838 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: the play calling from soup to nuts, right, I think, honestly, 839 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: I think the fans deserve more. We've been going about 840 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: this for twenty five years now, not being able to 841 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 1: get to the playoff, not getting the Super Bowl win 842 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: by the fall. If every team he's been an offensive 843 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: coordinator for, Michael did so, you're so you are telling 844 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,320 Speaker 1: me you think that the entire problem with the Bill's 845 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,240 Speaker 1: offense was the play selection and the way the players 846 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 1: are being deployed and all. I mean, I just want 847 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 1: to get to the point. You don't think Brian Day 848 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: bowls up to the task. That's your point. He needs 849 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: to completely get off of this team, all right, every 850 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: team that he's been on as an offensive coordinator, the 851 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: proofs in the putting history is repeating itself. Michael, did 852 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: you give him the rest of the season at least? 853 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: Or no? Did you got to leave tomorrow? Should you 854 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: pack up this afternoon? Get the interim coach ready right now, 855 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: bring him in and let okay, all right, Michael, I 856 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: pumped the brake. I don't agree with you, Michael, and 857 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: not at any level. But I mean, I can't argue 858 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: with the history that you tried to sit there. But 859 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: when I watched this, when I watched this offense, there 860 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,319 Speaker 1: are guys open, There's a lot of diversity, there's a 861 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: lot of creativity in the way they use these guys 862 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: where they do a lot of activity. When there's kids 863 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: watching this game that are constantly watching a losing team 864 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 1: year after year. Enough enough, I think they're watching a 865 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: winning team this year, aren't they? Michael? And winning team 866 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: this year? There's six and three? And who is their 867 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: competition that we beat? We beat the oh So those 868 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: six loss those six wins don't count as wins. We 869 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,479 Speaker 1: beat the Jets by one point? Do they count as wins? Yeah, 870 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: that's a win. Does that we lost by we lost 871 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: by three? Does that count as a loss? We picked 872 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: up we picked up singletary. And what do we let 873 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 1: him do? We let him touch the ball five times 874 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: during the whole game, four quarters. Come on, Come on, guys, 875 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 1: you come on, Michael. I'm not Mike. I'm not trying to. 876 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,760 Speaker 1: I just don't agree with you. I see when the guys, 877 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: when the office comes out, when you've got a guy 878 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: standing by himself, schemed open, and you don't put the 879 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: ball on him, or the quarterback doesn't look there, or 880 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback gets hurried, you've got guys. There's plenty of 881 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: opportunity in yesterday's game for the Buffalo Bills to be 882 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: way more successful than they were. And I think it 883 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,280 Speaker 1: comes down to a young quarterback playing with it against 884 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: a defense that is trying to make that young quarterback 885 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: do exactly the things that he's not developed enough to 886 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: do very well yet. Now he's getting better, but it's 887 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,720 Speaker 1: gonna take time, and I don't I just don't see 888 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: any of the problems that you're saying are obvious. Thanks Michael, 889 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: Where you get to take a break, we'll come back 890 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 1: with more.

Your thoughts on 903 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,839 Speaker 1: yesterday's game. Let's go to Tom in Snyder. Hello, Tim, 904 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: you're on the air with us. Go ahead. Ah, Hi, guys, 905 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: I hope you're keeping warm there in the studio. Oh, 906 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: we're good. Yeah. I've got a question on Davil too. 907 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 1: I know, I know the other guy it called was frustrated. 908 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm frustrated too. I just think his offense is very vanilla, 909 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: and I know he's got a tone it down a 910 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: little bit for Josh being so new, but it's it's 911 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: either Josh has got to put their responsibility on his 912 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: shoulders of trying to distribute that ball a little better 913 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,359 Speaker 1: and looking looking for a secondary receiver, or Devil's got 914 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: to let him do what he does best is run. 915 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: I feel like pull them back from what he truly 916 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: does best. And had one more thing for Steve and 917 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: then I'll hang up on Let you guys respond. Okay, 918 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 1: I still think that we are a eleven plus win team. Okay, 919 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 1: I do go ahead, Murph waiting for your response. Okay, 920 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 1: just look, there are issues with the Buffalo offense, there 921 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: is no question about that. I agree with you on 922 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: that time, but vanilla is not the description I would use. 923 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: The Bills are so many different formations and multiple looks 924 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 1: that they give opponents, and it's not working clearly. You know, 925 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: they're what twenty third ranked offense. It's not working to 926 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: the level they'd want it to work. But it's not 927 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 1: because it's vanilla um. So I just wanted to say 928 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: that and let Josh run more. You know, I could 929 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: be talked into that. I could be tucked into that 930 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 1: because it's really one of the best things they do offensively. 931 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 1: Is Josh Allen running the football? Yeah? I mean it's 932 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: a good question. A friend of ours, Mike Catalana, as 933 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 1: the same thing. Are you are you bummed at Brian 934 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: day ball because he doesn't use Josh enough? Or because 935 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: you're asking him to do too much? Are you you 936 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: want him to run more? You want him to run less? 937 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 1: You want him to if you want him to throw 938 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 1: the football more, throw at forty one times yesterday. You 939 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:29,840 Speaker 1: know that's enough. Yeah. The problem, the problems, let's face it, 940 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: the problems Josh. He's young. The problems Josh is not 941 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,280 Speaker 1: fully formed of who he's gonna be. That's the That's 942 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: the problems with the offense, and Brian Dable is trying 943 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: to work within the parameters of what Josh gives him 944 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 1: in a week toweek basis, plus mesh that with what 945 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns can do on a week toweek basis 946 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 1: and this week the Miami Dolphins can do on a 947 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: week toweek basis. Uh. Interesting thing about this and I 948 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,439 Speaker 1: don't want to turn the page on this game yet, 949 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,959 Speaker 1: but he's seen But Josh Allen has seen the Miami 950 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: Dolphins once this year. I'm gonna be interested to see 951 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: how much better or different it is this time around 952 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: with this, you know, getting a look at him a 953 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 1: second time. That quarterbacks in the past, I've always said, 954 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: you start to see these teams a second time and 955 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: it gets a little bit easier. There's a little something 956 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,240 Speaker 1: different in there. So it'll be interesting to see if Josh, 957 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,399 Speaker 1: after that game in Miami this week, comes back and says, hey, 958 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 1: I did it was a little different for me, But 959 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 1: I think your offensive coordinates working within all those parameters. 960 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,919 Speaker 1: They Let's face it, we've all said, we all said 961 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: for a little particularly when they're like four and one 962 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: or four and five and one or whatever, six and two, whatever, 963 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,719 Speaker 1: we're thinking, just don't turn the football over. And you know, 964 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna be a lot better. Well, they stopped turning 965 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,320 Speaker 1: the football over, and that's not the cure all because 966 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, you still got to win a close game 967 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: even with no turnovers, which the Bills didn't turn it 968 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:53,720 Speaker 1: over last yesterday. But I still think, I'm listen, you're 969 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 1: got a really good football team. You're you've got six 970 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 1: wins and three losses, and two of the losses were 971 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 1: narrow to really talent to it. One's a really talented team, 972 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: the other maybe you know, the best team in the 973 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: league with the best record in the league. So I'm 974 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 1: I'm not really ready to cash it in and say, hey, change, 975 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: start changing the wholesale what you're doing. They've got they're 976 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 1: doing a lot of good things on both sides of 977 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,839 Speaker 1: the ball. They're not doing enough of them on both 978 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: either side of the ball though. Defense is really playing 979 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: extremely well, despite the fact that they they're giving up 980 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: some rush yards that only bothers me because a time 981 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,280 Speaker 1: of possession. That doesn't bother me because of the yards 982 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 1: they're only giving up, you know whatever, they're less than 983 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen points a game on average. You know, 984 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about that side of the ball. The 985 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 1: difference is in crucial spots, and it's hard to do 986 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: on offense, harder than it is on defense. But you 987 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 1: gotta get more consistent offensively just staying on the field. 988 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: They're moving the football at times, they're getting it down close, 989 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 1: at times, they're hood inside the red zone. But they 990 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,760 Speaker 1: got to do it more consistently. That's what we're asking 991 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:09,319 Speaker 1: for now. And we cut out the turnovers the last 992 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: month and a half. All right, now, let's let's take 993 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 1: another step. Let's stay on the field on third and short, 994 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,439 Speaker 1: on third and two. I love that the team went 995 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,359 Speaker 1: forth twice on fourth down yesterday. They didn't convert either one, 996 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 1: but hey, let's go for it. I love it, but 997 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,399 Speaker 1: they got to do it more consistently. I agree with you, 998 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 1: but I'm not listen. I'm not I'm not starting to 999 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 1: throw guys off the train. I'm not starting to throw it, 1000 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, all right, Yeah, everybody says right, I'm telling 1001 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: you that now, that's not the problem. The problem is 1002 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 1: a young quarterback who's having trouble executing. That's it. And 1003 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 1: it's gonna continue to be that way. And I don't 1004 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 1: think you're gonna see an overnight creation of this, you know, 1005 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,839 Speaker 1: Josh Allen that we all hope we're gonna get. It's 1006 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 1: gonna be tiny steps and you're gonna lose some games 1007 00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:58,319 Speaker 1: on the way, like yesterday you lost by three on 1008 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 1: a missed field goal. You know, let's pump the brakes 1009 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 1: on throwing guys off the off the bus, right, I 1010 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: mean yeah, Eric Woods coming up next, he'll we will 1011 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,839 Speaker 1: welcome him onto the bus. He'll be with us for 1012 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,799 Speaker 1: a big segment coming up after the top of the hour. 1013 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,359 Speaker 1: Here it's One Bill's Live, presented by Klatta Health Live 1014 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 1: from the Seneca Studio, Seneca Resorts and Casino. Nothing Comes 1015 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: Clothes Hills Radio Network Sports Update. The update from One 1016 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,359 Speaker 1: Bill's Drive with the Buffalo Bills players back at work 1017 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 1: today with the coaching staff. After yesterday's nineteen sixteen loss 1018 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,359 Speaker 1: in Cleveland to the Browns. The Bills dropped to six 1019 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 1: and three. They've lost two of their last three after 1020 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 1: starting the season with five wins and one loss. Cleveland 1021 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: Browns played well. They got twenty carries for one hundred 1022 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 1: and sixteen yards from their running back Nick Chubb, his 1023 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 1: fifth one hundred yard rushing game this season. He is 1024 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 1: outstanding driver Landry had a big game for Cleveland as well, 1025 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 1: with nine catches. The Bills with offensive issues to work 1026 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,200 Speaker 1: on that will be the focus. Head coach On McDermot 1027 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:11,800 Speaker 1: indicated yesterday Brown's rookie wide receiver Browns receiver not rookie 1028 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,840 Speaker 1: Browns receiver Antonio Callaway, was a late scratch and yesterday's 1029 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 1: game his replacement, Rashard Higgins, got the game winning touchdown pass. 1030 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,360 Speaker 1: Callaway was suspended for the first four games this season, 1031 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 1: then out yesterday. He was warming up before the game 1032 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 1: but went into street closed and it was Rochard Higgins 1033 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: who came in and caught the game winning touchdown for Cleveland. 1034 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,319 Speaker 1: The Bills, now with six wins three losses, get set 1035 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 1: for another road trip, headed to Miami this coming Sunday. 1036 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 1: Around the league, the Falcons broke through with a twenty 1037 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,359 Speaker 1: six to nine win over the Saints, but running back 1038 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:45,439 Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman was injured yesterday, originally diagnosed with a foot spring. 1039 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,480 Speaker 1: He will undergo an MRA today to determine the extent 1040 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 1: of his injury. Sae Quon Barkley, the Giants running back 1041 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,320 Speaker 1: I had a career low one rushing yard on thirteen carries, 1042 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: and the Giants thirty four to twenty seven loss to 1043 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,400 Speaker 1: the Jets yesterday. He also got hurt banged up in 1044 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 1: the game to head coach Pat Shermer after the one 1045 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 1: yard game. The injuries, Barkley said, would not be a 1046 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,919 Speaker 1: factor in his performance yesterday, and the NFL is looking 1047 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 1: into how the Lions handled the reporting of quarterback Matthew 1048 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 1: Stafford's back injury and the week leading up to their 1049 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,720 Speaker 1: loss to Chicago, including the designation of Stafford is questionable 1050 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 1: for the game. A league source says, we'll look at 1051 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,640 Speaker 1: it and gather all the facts. Detroit had listed Stafford 1052 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 1: is limited in practice all week, list of him as 1053 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 1: questionable on Friday. He did not play good. Monday night 1054 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 1: game tonight Seattle at San Francisco eight fifteen. Kekop and 1055 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,240 Speaker 1: the Sabers back home after the Global series in Sweden. 1056 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,360 Speaker 1: They line up next against Carolina on Thursday. That's the 1057 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 1: update from One Bill's Drive. John Murphy and Steve Tasker 1058 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 1: in our Seneca studio in Orchard Parks, snow on outside. 1059 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 1: Happy to have you in the audience, Happy to have 1060 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 1: our guest on the line. I spent yesterday afternoon on 1061 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,400 Speaker 1: a beautiful day in Cleveland with Eric what former Bills 1062 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 1: Center now the color analyst on the Bills Radio Network, 1063 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 1: joining us right now on the line. Hello, Eric, you 1064 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 1: made it home. Okay? No snow, I would imagine in 1065 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,719 Speaker 1: Louisville right now right no snow. But they're saying tonight 1066 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,920 Speaker 1: we've i get some which is weird because it's fifty 1067 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 1: eight degrees right now. They're saying it's going to drop 1068 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,479 Speaker 1: thirty degrees today, so we should have some interesting weather, 1069 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: but not quite the lake fet snow that I think 1070 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:11,719 Speaker 1: they're calling for up in Buffalo from what I heard 1071 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,800 Speaker 1: this morning. Do folks in Louisville freak out when it 1072 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,799 Speaker 1: snows or are they okay? Did they handle it? Okay? Yes? 1073 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 1: And me and my wife are so jaded now because 1074 00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 1: of our time spent in Buffalo. You know, people will 1075 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, oh, you know, the kids are out of school, 1076 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: so we can't really do anything and this and that. 1077 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,279 Speaker 1: And my wife, I mean I remember her taking our 1078 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,759 Speaker 1: little girl to a gymnastics class up in Buffalo when 1079 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,959 Speaker 1: there is eight ten inches of snow on the ground 1080 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 1: that hadn't really been touched yet, and I thought, man, 1081 00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 1: this is this is really dumb. But then we showed 1082 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 1: up and everybody else was there, and so we got 1083 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 1: used to being a buffalo and now we can't hardly 1084 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,480 Speaker 1: stand the way people freak out about the snow down. Yeah, 1085 00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 1: that's how we do it. We sold her on here. 1086 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,960 Speaker 1: We sold her on even after a tough loss to 1087 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 1: two and six Cleveland yesterday. Give me your thoughts, your initial, 1088 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 1: maybe overriding observations about yesterday's Bill's loss. Eric, I mean, 1089 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,600 Speaker 1: I know we'll get into the small pictures, but the 1090 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,360 Speaker 1: big picture for yesterday is, you know, early on in 1091 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 1: the game, the Bills really struggled defensively. The Browns were 1092 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,359 Speaker 1: moving up and down the field. Offensively, they go, they 1093 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,879 Speaker 1: get a long pass interference call on the first play 1094 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 1: of the game, and then their next six plays or 1095 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: two three and outs, And I think the Bills need 1096 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 1: to start faster, especially on offense moving forward. I don't 1097 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,799 Speaker 1: know what, I don't know what sparks that, but but 1098 00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,279 Speaker 1: I think them starting faster in games obviously helps you 1099 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,080 Speaker 1: get to that mid twenties where you won your scoring 1100 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,800 Speaker 1: average to get up to. Because the way the Bills 1101 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,439 Speaker 1: defense is playing, you know, the Bills lock them down 1102 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,279 Speaker 1: pretty well on defense in the second half and they 1103 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 1: gave up, you know, another hundred yard rusher and the 1104 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,160 Speaker 1: Browns ran the ball effectively in the first half if 1105 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 1: they shirted up at the second half. But ultimately in 1106 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 1: this league, when the defense only gives up nineteen points 1107 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 1: but they scored two points for you, when in a 1108 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,439 Speaker 1: game like that, you need to win it. You're playing 1109 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 1: against a team like the Cleveland brown that's two and 1110 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 1: six and they have the thirtieth ranked rush defense in 1111 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: the league coming into the game yesterday, and they give 1112 00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:08,799 Speaker 1: up a bunch of points. They're oh and three at home. 1113 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 1: That's a game you gotta take. And the Bills that 1114 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 1: one go at six and three as a panic mode. 1115 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,799 Speaker 1: Heck no, am I panicked about the Bills. Absolutely not. 1116 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,440 Speaker 1: You know, the remaining games. You have a very winnable 1117 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 1: next two games, and you get those and get to 1118 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 1: eight and three, which I can talk about now as 1119 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 1: an analyst. I couldn't say that kind of stuff as 1120 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,240 Speaker 1: a player. But if you get to eight and three 1121 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 1: through eleven games, I mean you're in the driver's seat. Yeah, 1122 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,279 Speaker 1: let's what do you think about the Bills offensive not 1123 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,160 Speaker 1: play calling? What do you think is causing their biggest problems? 1124 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 1: If there's you know, inability to score points consistently and 1125 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: move the ball. I know they are key downs on 1126 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,439 Speaker 1: third downs, they were only five or thirteen. You got 1127 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:48,800 Speaker 1: to get better there to stay on the field to 1128 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,000 Speaker 1: give yourself a chance. What do you think the issues 1129 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,840 Speaker 1: are on offense? Well, I'd love to say prestaff penalties 1130 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,759 Speaker 1: and penalties, but it seems like every time they do 1131 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,359 Speaker 1: get a big penalty, they fight back extra you're hard 1132 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 1: and go get the first down on those possessions. But 1133 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,799 Speaker 1: but but they're also using maybe go to plays to 1134 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,479 Speaker 1: get those first downs after you know, I know Sean 1135 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 1: McDermott's frustrated with the penalties, and the ones between the 1136 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: whistles are acceptable. It's the false starts, illegal procedures, those 1137 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 1: types of deals that that they need to eliminate. And 1138 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: they cut back honorably that two pre snap penalties yesterday, 1139 00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,279 Speaker 1: But you know, nine games in the season, you'd like 1140 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 1: to see that at one or zero. And and then 1141 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's all cumulative. You know, we 1142 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,720 Speaker 1: can we can say the Bills need to hit more 1143 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 1: big plays and a lot of those in the NFL 1144 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,080 Speaker 1: come through the air. Okay, well, why aren't the Bills 1145 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 1: hitting those. And they had two opportunities yesterday that were 1146 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 1: really close. One deep to John Brown, one deep to 1147 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,920 Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie. The John Brown one, you know, it's inches away. 1148 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: And in the one to Isaiah McKenzie, Josh is getting 1149 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 1: get blasted. I mean, they get a roughing the passer 1150 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,879 Speaker 1: on it, but he has guys bearing right down on him. 1151 00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,360 Speaker 1: He doesn't have the protection to throw and so it's 1152 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 1: to me, it's cumulative. It's it's not Josh Allen, it's 1153 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,240 Speaker 1: not just the running backs, it's not just the offensive line. 1154 00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 1: It's everybody just needs to be more consistent. And you know, 1155 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 1: the first thing you mentioned was the play calling. I 1156 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 1: think Brian dave Ball does a great job with play calling, 1157 00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:18,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think he does a great job of 1158 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 1: pre snap identifying for Josh Allen in a lot of 1159 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 1: cases what the coverage is for him. If this two 1160 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,800 Speaker 1: years removed center up in the booth can determine the coverage, 1161 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,880 Speaker 1: I know Josh can, and a lot of it's because 1162 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,319 Speaker 1: of the use that Brian dave Ball uses with the 1163 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,359 Speaker 1: motions and the alignments of running backs and tight ends 1164 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: outside of receivers that could truly dictate the coverages for him, 1165 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 1: and I think he does a phenomenal job of that. 1166 00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 1: Eric quote on the line with this color Amo that's 1167 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 1: on the Bills radio network. We're going into the fourth 1168 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 1: quarter yesterday, Eric, and I mentioned you on the air 1169 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,720 Speaker 1: the Bills had thrown it twenty seven times and running 1170 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 1: fifteen times. And I asked you the Bills running the 1171 00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,040 Speaker 1: bubble enough. You had a good answer. I don't remember 1172 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 1: what it was. And at the end of the game 1173 00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 1: the numbers are even more pronounced. But it's look, they 1174 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:00,960 Speaker 1: don't go into a game thinking we're gonna throw at 1175 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 1: forty times and only run at thirteen times by our 1176 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 1: running backs. Right, it's kind of way the game plays out. Yeah, 1177 00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,400 Speaker 1: you see all the game plays out. I thought the 1178 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,760 Speaker 1: very first play of the game, they run play action. 1179 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: You know, the Browns come in with the thirtieth ranked defense, 1180 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 1: so similar to way we're talking in Buffalo. You know, 1181 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 1: Buffalo came into the game with the thirtieth or sorry, 1182 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,240 Speaker 1: the nineteenth ranked rush defense. So and you see how 1183 00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 1: hard we harp on the Bills defense. You know they're 1184 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 1: they're feeling the same thing. So they're outnumbering us in 1185 00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: the box. Though I thought it was great. They start 1186 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 1: the first play the game with play action and try 1187 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 1: and take the top out the defense to get a 1188 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,800 Speaker 1: pass interference call for shoot thirty five yards or so. Well, 1189 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,920 Speaker 1: I thought that was great. Well, the rest of the game, 1190 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 1: when the box is outnumbered, it's tough to run the ball. 1191 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: You got to make plays through the air. And yesterday 1192 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 1: the Browns played a lot of man defense and they 1193 00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,479 Speaker 1: outnumbered the Bills in the box and said, you're gonna 1194 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,080 Speaker 1: have to beat us. We're gonna make Josh make tight 1195 00:57:55,200 --> 00:58:00,760 Speaker 1: throws on the outside into you know, covered or guys 1196 00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 1: that are going to beat man coverage, and they just 1197 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 1: didn't make enough plays to win. Josh also throws for 1198 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty six yards yesterday, which is a 1199 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,040 Speaker 1: pretty good number. I mean, that's well above his season average. 1200 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 1: Is it possible to run effectively against an eight man 1201 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,560 Speaker 1: box or even eight plus man box? Can you do that? 1202 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 1: It is, especially if you use the quarterback. I watched 1203 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,680 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens film, and when you use the quarterback, you 1204 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,560 Speaker 1: get that extra blocker on the running back. Now, we 1205 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 1: don't want to use Josh Allen in that way. Lamar 1206 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,440 Speaker 1: has this crazy ability to not take big hits, similar 1207 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,760 Speaker 1: to a shady McCoy type. Josh seeks contact sometimes at 1208 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 1: the end of runs, and you get really weary about 1209 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 1: running your quarterback when he does that kind of stuff 1210 00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: too often. But yeah, you can. You can run it 1211 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 1: for sure, but oftentimes you're thinking, hey, we can make 1212 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 1: easier yards in the past game. I remember one time 1213 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson I heard him in an interview say I 1214 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 1: want nine man boxes, and then they're like nine man boxes, 1215 00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna get stuffed. He said, well, you may give 1216 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:04,760 Speaker 1: me for a few two or three yard games, but 1217 00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 1: as soon as I get by that second safety, that's 1218 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 1: how I'm gonna get over two hundred yards in this 1219 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:10,360 Speaker 1: game and play a nine man box. If you play 1220 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 1: a seven man box, I'll probably only get one hundred 1221 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,160 Speaker 1: and twenty. I was like, man, that's good stuff, and 1222 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,080 Speaker 1: I've forward that on to other running backs in the 1223 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 1: building with me. At one billis drive like, hey, let's 1224 00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 1: quick and planning about those eight mame boxes. Yeah, it's 1225 00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,320 Speaker 1: true and some of that also. And you talk to 1226 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 1: us a little bit about the rules you have on 1227 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 1: offense if you whether you check out of a play here, 1228 00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,000 Speaker 1: if there's an eight man box, or if they show 1229 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 1: a certain thing you go from a run to a pass, 1230 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 1: or a pass to a run. Some of that's got 1231 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 1: to be going on as well. Absolutely, it saw a 1232 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 1: couple of RPOs yesterday. Not a ton, but yes, you're 1233 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 1: absolutely right. You know, anytime you see Josh at the 1234 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,400 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and he's you know, doing this theatrics 1235 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,080 Speaker 1: and they get to a pass, it's probably because they 1236 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 1: were out numbered at the box. Sometimes you'll flip the 1237 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 1: play when the quarterbacks most you know, signaling, you can 1238 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:00,680 Speaker 1: flip the player, you can switch to another one. In 1239 01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:02,480 Speaker 1: a lot of times, if you ever run play called 1240 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 1: and you're out number, you're trying to get to your 1241 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 1: best play, and I would imagine it happened at some 1242 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 1: points yesterday. You know, the best part about me being 1243 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,880 Speaker 1: an analyst on the radio, and I've said it before, 1244 01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:15,320 Speaker 1: is although I played under Sean McDermott, I did not 1245 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,880 Speaker 1: play under Brian day Ball. So I'm never giving away 1246 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,160 Speaker 1: any top secrets because I've never sat in one of 1247 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 1: his meetings. But I can speculate on what I see 1248 01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 1: and experience. But I've never even played in his system before, 1249 01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 1: so I would imagine that happened, Then what do you do? 1250 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 1: You what's the next thing you're looking for from Josh 1251 01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:34,240 Speaker 1: Allen his development? What would you like to see more of? 1252 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,600 Speaker 1: There's times on third down where I wish you would 1253 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 1: pick on certain matchups more, especially late in that game 1254 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 1: yesterday when he went at John Brown down the sideline 1255 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: and threw that go route. It's little things like that 1256 01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 1: where you know, Cole Beasley matched up against their nickel 1257 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 1: who already left the game with an injury. You think, okay, 1258 01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:59,920 Speaker 1: maybe that's our matchup. We attack it just overall consistency, 1259 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 1: I would say, and that's a generic term. But you 1260 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 1: know early in the game he missed John Brown on 1261 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,520 Speaker 1: a slant route that would have moved the chains set 1262 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,680 Speaker 1: up another possible scoring opportunity. It's little plays like that 1263 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 1: that you kind of forget about him. But those are 1264 01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,560 Speaker 1: potential six point swings right there, because I think the 1265 01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 1: Bills were around the forty yard line or so, and 1266 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,760 Speaker 1: those are just big plays. But but from Josh, I 1267 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:31,120 Speaker 1: want to see him, Like I just said, saying being 1268 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 1: more consistent in the passing game is way too generical 1269 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 1: a term. Attack matchups. As we see on the screen 1270 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 1: right there, Dawson Knox against Morgan Burnett, the ten years 1271 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 1: safety who's slowing down at this point of his career 1272 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 1: on a crossing route. Dawson Knox take that and he 1273 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 1: looks at John Brown a ton and I would too. 1274 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,240 Speaker 1: He's so extremely productive, but I think there's times, especially 1275 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,439 Speaker 1: with Cole Beasley and some of the matchups they get 1276 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 1: him on that he should take advantage of. Talking with Eric, 1277 01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 1: what about yesterday's lasson Cleveland And this next question falls 1278 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 1: under the category of Monday morning, Monday afternoon quarterback in Eric, 1279 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 1: the end of game sequence for the Bills that they 1280 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,040 Speaker 1: have it at the Cleveland forty one yard line, third 1281 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:08,720 Speaker 1: and ten. It was the deep pass. I think you 1282 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,400 Speaker 1: just reference in completion to John Brown and then they 1283 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,640 Speaker 1: took the time out, And did you have any issues 1284 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,240 Speaker 1: with that as you think back about it. Was it 1285 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 1: appropriate to attempt a fifty three yard field goal at 1286 01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,440 Speaker 1: that point? It was fourth and four at the Cleveland 1287 01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 1: thirty five yard line. Should they have gone forward instead 1288 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 1: of a fifty three yard attempt? What do you think? 1289 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:30,920 Speaker 1: I mean? I think you got to let your kicker 1290 01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 1: try and kick it. Stevens made plenty of plus fifty 1291 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,160 Speaker 1: yard you know, anything between fifty and fifty five throughout 1292 01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,480 Speaker 1: his career. I think you gotta let him try and 1293 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,640 Speaker 1: kick it there. You know, what's your fourth and fourth 1294 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:46,200 Speaker 1: conversion rate in the NFL? Probably thirty five percent on 1295 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:50,360 Speaker 1: everts throughout the NFL. And so you're thinking, okay, well, 1296 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 1: then we're still gonna have to then attempt another field goal. 1297 01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 1: Likely now the percentage is going to go way up. 1298 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,600 Speaker 1: But you know, I trust that they put more time 1299 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 1: in that decision that I could make right now, and 1300 01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:06,440 Speaker 1: trust that that was the correct decision. And you know, 1301 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 1: I'm doing some other radio stuff this morning, so people 1302 01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,720 Speaker 1: have asked me about the time management and all that. 1303 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean, there're still thirty seconds left on the clock. 1304 01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 1: There was plenty of time. You know, if they if 1305 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,280 Speaker 1: they would have completed that passing John Brown, even if 1306 01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,120 Speaker 1: it's stayed in bounds, it wasn't that big of a deal. 1307 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,560 Speaker 1: They could have got up and spiked it. But you know, 1308 01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,520 Speaker 1: you can always nitpick at this point. And you know, 1309 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,200 Speaker 1: obviously after the miss, it's easy to say, yeah, I 1310 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 1: wish we would have gone for But had we not 1311 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 1: given him the chance, we'd be talking about the times 1312 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,320 Speaker 1: that Stephen House has made game tying or game winning 1313 01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:38,920 Speaker 1: field goals. That's kind of the former coach Margus to say, 1314 01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:40,320 Speaker 1: when it doesn't work, you should have done the other 1315 01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:43,440 Speaker 1: thing exactly. Yeah, And that's the times we're living in 1316 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,560 Speaker 1: with this Bill's team. They got a great defense, and 1317 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,080 Speaker 1: I got a young quarterback. They're trying to guide along 1318 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,600 Speaker 1: and win as many games as they can while he's 1319 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:54,720 Speaker 1: still developing. This kind of what the Bills team and 1320 01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 1: the fan base, they kind of gott to embrace these 1321 01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 1: games like this. You're not gonna win all of these games, 1322 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,680 Speaker 1: but certainly at this point they're winning more of these 1323 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,000 Speaker 1: games than they're losing. But these games like this that 1324 01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 1: are so close throughout, they always come down to one 1325 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:12,680 Speaker 1: play here or there. And that's kind of the where 1326 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,520 Speaker 1: we're at with this Bill's football team, right You know, 1327 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,800 Speaker 1: we've shown that we're not going to blow people out, 1328 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,160 Speaker 1: per se, even if we play a winless Cincinnati team 1329 01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 1: or a winless Miami team. We're playing title games right now. 1330 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 1: That's fine, you've become battle tested, but you're right, you 1331 01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: better make the plays when they're there, and you give 1332 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:34,880 Speaker 1: up the touchdown to Higgins and then you don't make 1333 01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 1: a couple of plays down the stretch. You know, it's tough. 1334 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,400 Speaker 1: I was very excited about, you know, as soon as 1335 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 1: the fourth sport to start, I was so excited to 1336 01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,960 Speaker 1: talk about how Josh Allen currently owns the highest passer 1337 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,120 Speaker 1: rating in the NFL and the fourth quarter I don't 1338 01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:51,040 Speaker 1: have I'm not a huge you know, I don't spend 1339 01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:54,880 Speaker 1: all weeks scouring statistics. So when I get something good, 1340 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:56,680 Speaker 1: I want to use it and then when it shows up, 1341 01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 1: and Josh played extremely well, especially until that last drive 1342 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, I was all pumped up about, you know, 1343 01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:06,920 Speaker 1: doing a little Tony Romo forecasting there, and you know, 1344 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen some of the things he's doing 1345 01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,720 Speaker 1: that's extremely encouraging. And he's playing great ball in the 1346 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 1: red zone. Now, he had that fumble that Feliciana thankfully 1347 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 1: scooped up, but he's extremely productive in the red zone 1348 01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,320 Speaker 1: and he's extremely productive in the fourth quarter. And to me, 1349 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,960 Speaker 1: that shows he's a gamer and he's competitive is all 1350 01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 1: get out. We all know that. And to me, your 1351 01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:33,240 Speaker 1: twenty games into his second seat into his career, we're 1352 01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:35,160 Speaker 1: not in a situation where he's in his fourth year. 1353 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 1: We have to make a decision right now whether we're 1354 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,240 Speaker 1: gonna pay him on a five year, two hundred million 1355 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,640 Speaker 1: dollar deal or whatever quarterbacks are getting two years from now, 1356 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,560 Speaker 1: and we're not in that boat right now. We could 1357 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:47,360 Speaker 1: enjoy and we could watch him progress and enjoy the progress. 1358 01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,280 Speaker 1: We don't have to nip pick every single day and 1359 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,520 Speaker 1: figure out is Josh Allen this franchise quarterback. I love 1360 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,120 Speaker 1: a lot of what I see from Josh Allen, and 1361 01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to enjoy the ride. And honestly, I've 1362 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,760 Speaker 1: said this since the moment they drafted him. I wish 1363 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 1: I got to play with him because I would have 1364 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 1: loved to kind of pour into him and all that. 1365 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,840 Speaker 1: And they signed Mitch Morse, who's excellent and can play 1366 01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,480 Speaker 1: that role now. But last year during the season, I 1367 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 1: really wish that I would have had the opportunity to 1368 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,040 Speaker 1: play with him. And I get to know him now, 1369 01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,760 Speaker 1: which is fine, but I truly would have loved to 1370 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,880 Speaker 1: play with him. And there's it's easy after you lose 1371 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,120 Speaker 1: the Browns, the two and six Browns the next day 1372 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:29,760 Speaker 1: for everyone to harp on this team. But a year ago, 1373 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:34,560 Speaker 1: we were awful, and we're already now in a point 1374 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:38,280 Speaker 1: where if we're not securing a playoff spot early, we're 1375 01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,000 Speaker 1: going to be upset this year. And you know, we 1376 01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,160 Speaker 1: have a lot of great pieces on the team. And 1377 01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 1: I heard this last week Jim Kelly and his second 1378 01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:50,560 Speaker 1: season with the Bills. They went six and ten. Now, 1379 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 1: that's probably not an apples to Apple's comparison, all things considered, 1380 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:58,959 Speaker 1: But let's not harp on Josh Allen too hard nine 1381 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,040 Speaker 1: games into a second season when the Bills are six 1382 01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:03,400 Speaker 1: and three. With Eric Wood, color analysts on the Bills 1383 01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,400 Speaker 1: Radio Network, the former Bills center on the other side 1384 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,280 Speaker 1: of the ball, I wanted to bring up Josh Allen's 1385 01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:12,960 Speaker 1: first round teammate from a year ago, Tremaine Edmonds. We 1386 01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 1: got people calling us saying they should look to move 1387 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: him to outside linebacker. You watched his game yesterday, I'm 1388 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,720 Speaker 1: sure you've reviewed it. You thought he played pretty well 1389 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:24,840 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo defense yesterday and throughout his career. Huh, yeah, 1390 01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,880 Speaker 1: I do. I thought he played well. You know since 1391 01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,160 Speaker 1: the day walked into the league. It amazed me that 1392 01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,480 Speaker 1: he was drafted at twenty years old and how mature 1393 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 1: he is. You get to speak with him. We actually 1394 01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,480 Speaker 1: spoke with him in studio a couple weeks ago as 1395 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:38,520 Speaker 1: a group and just so impressed with him as a 1396 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,600 Speaker 1: person and a player. And I'm not, like I said, 1397 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 1: I don't know the inner workings of the calls and 1398 01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 1: the signals, but right before that play he looked at 1399 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,680 Speaker 1: it over at Milano and signaled something to him. My 1400 01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,200 Speaker 1: guess is that Baker Mayfield came up and sent the 1401 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 1: protection away from Tremaine Evans and set it over to 1402 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:58,240 Speaker 1: Matt Milano and Edmonds went to the edge. It triggered 1403 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 1: because it was an empty set. There was no backs 1404 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,120 Speaker 1: in the backfield to help protect, and as soon as 1405 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,520 Speaker 1: he did that, I was like, Oh, here we go. 1406 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,120 Speaker 1: And then he and Baker Mayfield has no idea it's 1407 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,640 Speaker 1: coming in Saxon. I mean, just a phenomenally savvy play. 1408 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:15,080 Speaker 1: If that's truly the sequence of events there. I also thought, 1409 01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,639 Speaker 1: especially in the second half, he was really good against 1410 01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:21,640 Speaker 1: the run. Past couple of weeks, the Bills as a 1411 01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:25,080 Speaker 1: whole on defense weren't great against the run, Tremaine included, 1412 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,680 Speaker 1: but I think yesterday, especially in the second half, was 1413 01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:32,840 Speaker 1: a step in the right direction. But his physical his 1414 01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 1: physical assets, what he's able to do run and sideline 1415 01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:38,799 Speaker 1: to sideline at six to five two forty five, two fifty. 1416 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,800 Speaker 1: Whatever he is, that's the type of dude you want 1417 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:46,840 Speaker 1: manning your defense. All right, let's spend it forward. The 1418 01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,280 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. They played the Bills pretty tough a couple 1419 01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,240 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and now they've they've won a couple 1420 01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:54,760 Speaker 1: of games, including yesterday at Indie. Miami will have confidence 1421 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:58,439 Speaker 1: this Sunday going up against Buffalo, won't they They will 1422 01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:00,080 Speaker 1: because they were able to play him so tough. A 1423 01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, we're a Trey White interception and forced fumble 1424 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,840 Speaker 1: away from who knows how that game ends up in 1425 01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:08,559 Speaker 1: Orchard Park, And so Bills are gonna head down there 1426 01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:10,880 Speaker 1: and they're gaining some confidence and they you know, they 1427 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,559 Speaker 1: played the Bills tough, then they played the Steelers stuff, 1428 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 1: then they beat the Jets, and yesterday they beat the Colts. 1429 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,840 Speaker 1: Now that's a Brian Horrior led Colts team. He wasn't 1430 01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,840 Speaker 1: even on the roster in training camp. But you know, 1431 01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:25,479 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are gaining some confidence. And when I look 1432 01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,360 Speaker 1: at them, Fitz is doing what I thought he would do. 1433 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 1: He would unify the group. He would win them enough 1434 01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:33,519 Speaker 1: games to not give him the first overall pick, which 1435 01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 1: I predicted on my Twitter Twitter over this summer and 1436 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,360 Speaker 1: when they announced him as the starter, because he's going 1437 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,240 Speaker 1: to get those guys to play hard. Now, the last 1438 01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: time they were in Orchard Park, their receiver press and 1439 01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 1: Williams the six five, two hundred and twenty five pound 1440 01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:50,080 Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall clone that Fitz called him to me, I 1441 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily crown him the Brandon Marshall clone yet, but 1442 01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 1: Fitz's guy fits had to him playing extremely well in 1443 01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,960 Speaker 1: Orchard Park. Matched up against Levi Wallace, he is not 1444 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,960 Speaker 1: going to play. He's on I R. And so they'll 1445 01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: have to deal with DeVante Parker. They'll have to deal 1446 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,360 Speaker 1: with Alan Hearns and then Kiseki the tight end, who 1447 01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:10,760 Speaker 1: are playing well for them. But having Preston Williams down 1448 01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,040 Speaker 1: is a big development when you consider now the Bills 1449 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:18,400 Speaker 1: can likely have Trudevious White and shadow DeVante Parker if 1450 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,240 Speaker 1: they want to. All right, Eric, thanks, we're gonna look 1451 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,080 Speaker 1: forward to this. We're not quite ready to turn the 1452 01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,400 Speaker 1: page of the Dolphins yet, but we'll get there. We're 1453 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,439 Speaker 1: gonna we'll see, we'll get there. Thanks, Eric.

We should look at 1472 01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,760 Speaker 1: the tweet sheet when we return sending a tweet to 1473 01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, Come on Back, One Vill's Live, presented 1474 01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:29,120 Speaker 1: by Callida Health Live from the Seneca studio in Orchard Park. 1475 01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:46,720 Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back Obil One Doll's Live, 1476 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,600 Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tansker. Halfway through the show, coming to 1477 01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:52,519 Speaker 1: you from our Seneca studio in Orchard Park. I believe 1478 01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,240 Speaker 1: it's still snowing lightly outside. I kind of look I'm not. 1479 01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:58,160 Speaker 1: I never root for snow. Between now and May, we'll 1480 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:01,160 Speaker 1: have enough snow. But today I feel like snow. I 1481 01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,000 Speaker 1: feel like looking at snow. I feel like it'll be 1482 01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,719 Speaker 1: a good distraction from the events of yesterday. And there's 1483 01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,280 Speaker 1: a little coating of snow on the field at newer Field. 1484 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,280 Speaker 1: But don't see any snow falling. If you're watching on 1485 01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,640 Speaker 1: the MSG feed, you'll see it. Yeah, if you're you know, 1486 01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:17,160 Speaker 1: if you're watching from out of town, which I know 1487 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,240 Speaker 1: a lot of viewers do. Does that make you feel 1488 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,000 Speaker 1: good about Buffalo? Look at Buffalo, Man, they got snow. 1489 01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,519 Speaker 1: I was watching it. If it does good, I'm glad. 1490 01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:27,479 Speaker 1: But we'll get enough of it. If we show these 1491 01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:30,640 Speaker 1: shots in April, I'm gonna like, I'm gonna gonna right 1492 01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,280 Speaker 1: across the desk. Get used, dude, I hear. I've I've 1493 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,040 Speaker 1: said this publicly too. I say it here in Buffalo 1494 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:39,839 Speaker 1: all the time when I was traveling for CBS, and yeah, 1495 01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,280 Speaker 1: all of that. And I talk about even if I 1496 01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,400 Speaker 1: was doing a Bill's game in San Diego or something 1497 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:45,840 Speaker 1: like that, I would make fun of the weather in 1498 01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,400 Speaker 1: Buffalo once or twice. And I did it even when 1499 01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:49,960 Speaker 1: people found out. I was like, you live in Buffalo. 1500 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 1: What about the snow? I go yeah, And I always say, yeah, 1501 01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:55,240 Speaker 1: it's horrible up there. You my thought. It keeps the 1502 01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:59,639 Speaker 1: riff raff out of our town. Are you sure? If there, 1503 01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: if their happiness is tied up to kind of you know, 1504 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,960 Speaker 1: if they if they need something other than the people 1505 01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:08,880 Speaker 1: in this town or what this town has to offer, 1506 01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:12,280 Speaker 1: we don't want them. So I always say, if you're 1507 01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,160 Speaker 1: the right kind of person, you can come to Buffalo, 1508 01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,120 Speaker 1: you can live here. But if you're not, and it 1509 01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,080 Speaker 1: scares you away the weather, that's good. Like the anti 1510 01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 1: Chamber of Commerce exactly. I'm I'm part of the vetting 1511 01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:27,200 Speaker 1: process for our community. If you go through Steve, if 1512 01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:30,400 Speaker 1: you if you yeah, if you move to Buffalo and 1513 01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 1: you're like, because listen, I've heard coach after coach after 1514 01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,519 Speaker 1: coach come in and out of Buffalo. They always get 1515 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:39,160 Speaker 1: you know, their family, remember Jerry Glanville. They I'll say it. 1516 01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:41,200 Speaker 1: It's like, but it's true, they'll true. Go ahead, tell 1517 01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,960 Speaker 1: the story that Jerry Glanville said when he came to Buffalo, 1518 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:47,120 Speaker 1: his wife cried twice when they found she found out 1519 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:49,280 Speaker 1: they were coming to Buffalo. She cried because she thought 1520 01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,240 Speaker 1: it was gonna be whatever people think it was gonna be. 1521 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,519 Speaker 1: And she cried when they left because she loved it. Yeah, 1522 01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,080 Speaker 1: And that's the way. That's invariably, that's what every coach 1523 01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:59,200 Speaker 1: will tell you. They they they're shaking their head and 1524 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,080 Speaker 1: they're like, oh my guys, we're going to Buffalo. And 1525 01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:02,640 Speaker 1: then when they get here and they live here for 1526 01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:04,599 Speaker 1: a while, they're like, don't know, I wish I could stay. 1527 01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,680 Speaker 1: You know, they want to stay. It never works out 1528 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:08,559 Speaker 1: that way, the coaching staff, you know, and all stuff. 1529 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,679 Speaker 1: That's just what he signed up for me for that job. 1530 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:16,160 Speaker 1: But invariably, I always make fun of it. I don't 1531 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,320 Speaker 1: care about what people think about Buffalo. They're not in 1532 01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,720 Speaker 1: my kind of people. I don't need it, So all right, 1533 01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,320 Speaker 1: perfectly happy the topic of the day. What was your 1534 01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:25,880 Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from Sunday's loss to the Browns. We'll take 1535 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,120 Speaker 1: phone calls on it, but let's get to some tweets 1536 01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,040 Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, 1537 01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,840 Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. What was your 1538 01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,679 Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from Sunday's loots kind of a wide open door, Steve, 1539 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:38,360 Speaker 1: what do you have on the from Scott? He says 1540 01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,320 Speaker 1: they're growing pains for Josh and he's a big he 1541 01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,840 Speaker 1: needs a big time weapon at wide receiver. Defense. Didn't 1542 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:45,519 Speaker 1: stop the Browns when they needed to. The players need 1543 01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,320 Speaker 1: to do a better job executing the plays called. Yeah, 1544 01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,000 Speaker 1: the sun is shining here in southwest Florida, so Scots 1545 01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,960 Speaker 1: from southwest Florida there, there's our weather shot at us. 1546 01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,840 Speaker 1: I get it. And there's a lot of that. And 1547 01:14:56,880 --> 01:15:00,160 Speaker 1: here's the thing about even about that, the small thing 1548 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,680 Speaker 1: things like they didn't stop what they need to do. 1549 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:04,000 Speaker 1: That It's true the Bills had a lead with five 1550 01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:07,320 Speaker 1: minutes to go in the game and the Browns took 1551 01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,120 Speaker 1: it down and scored. The Bill's offense had a chance 1552 01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:15,280 Speaker 1: to answer and couldn't get it done. In games like this, 1553 01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,519 Speaker 1: and we've seen it over the years, and certainly we 1554 01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:22,320 Speaker 1: see it this season, in particular the way the Bills 1555 01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:26,920 Speaker 1: win football games and when they lose football games, predominantly 1556 01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,080 Speaker 1: two of the three losses they've taken this year. You 1557 01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,519 Speaker 1: can always come down to one thing, one play here, 1558 01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:36,240 Speaker 1: one play there, one thing here, one thing there, And 1559 01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,960 Speaker 1: certainly people try to make trends in generalizations about I 1560 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,760 Speaker 1: don't think they could score thirty points a game, or 1561 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:43,320 Speaker 1: if they could, you know, if they had a big 1562 01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:45,800 Speaker 1: time wide receiver, everything, it might be. But here's the 1563 01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:49,240 Speaker 1: team we've got, and it comes These games are the 1564 01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 1: ones you kind of got to you gotta live with. 1565 01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:53,720 Speaker 1: And it always in close games. It was this way 1566 01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:57,160 Speaker 1: when I played, and it's this way now. When you're 1567 01:15:57,160 --> 01:15:58,880 Speaker 1: in a lot of tight games like the Bills are, 1568 01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,559 Speaker 1: there's only one or two things that can make a 1569 01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:06,320 Speaker 1: big difference, and that's the difference between the really the 1570 01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:08,960 Speaker 1: great teams and the teams that are competitive, and the 1571 01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,200 Speaker 1: teams that aren't as competitive and the teams that are 1572 01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 1: not non competitive. In those moments they don't get it done. 1573 01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 1: The Bills, for the most part, I've been getting it 1574 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,360 Speaker 1: done this year. Yesterday was an instance when they couldn't. 1575 01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,960 Speaker 1: And that's and it goes in the loss, Callum, they're 1576 01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:24,720 Speaker 1: six and three and they got to live with that. 1577 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:26,439 Speaker 1: And those are the kind of play and those are 1578 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 1: the kind of opportunities that really hurt. It hurts. That 1579 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:32,320 Speaker 1: hurts man, those teams, those those are frustrating losses and 1580 01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:34,680 Speaker 1: it bums you out. But it doesn't change who your 1581 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,479 Speaker 1: team is. You're still really good, you're still tough to beat, 1582 01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:39,599 Speaker 1: and you're still gonna win a lot more games this season. 1583 01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,479 Speaker 1: I'm still on my eleven win thing. Eleven plush. Good. 1584 01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:45,479 Speaker 1: Thanks for Yeah. I thought you would abandon the plus. 1585 01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:49,040 Speaker 1: They're from it. Well, you know, if they lose the Dolphins, 1586 01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:55,240 Speaker 1: the plus might go play good one. You just acknowledge 1587 01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:58,840 Speaker 1: how bogus that plus is the bogus. Yeah, the plus 1588 01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,200 Speaker 1: is kind of bogus. I'm gonna stick with it. Yeah. 1589 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,439 Speaker 1: A tweet from Tiffany, and she always makes sense. This 1590 01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:05,479 Speaker 1: is a good question. I addressed it with Eric. Tiffany 1591 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:07,720 Speaker 1: tweets and at the most critical part of the game 1592 01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:09,760 Speaker 1: on third and four, there was no urgency to get 1593 01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,200 Speaker 1: lined up and get a playoff. I'm not sure why 1594 01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,559 Speaker 1: a timeout was not used. You hate to see a 1595 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,879 Speaker 1: game decided by a field goal attempt at that distance. 1596 01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,719 Speaker 1: I feel the coaching was below average yesterday, Okay, Tiffany, 1597 01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,000 Speaker 1: I asked Eric about it. Third and four, they're at 1598 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:26,360 Speaker 1: the Browns thirty five. They did huddle, which surprised me 1599 01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:27,760 Speaker 1: a little bit, and we talked about it on the 1600 01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:30,240 Speaker 1: radio yesterday, like do they have time to huddle here? Well, 1601 01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,240 Speaker 1: it turns out they did. They got the snap off 1602 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,240 Speaker 1: and the play was the h the incompletion that John 1603 01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:38,880 Speaker 1: Brown while Cole Beasley sat there wide open over the middle, 1604 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:40,880 Speaker 1: and then they tried they called the time out actually 1605 01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:44,160 Speaker 1: and then tried the field goal. So it's a legitimate point. Um, 1606 01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,679 Speaker 1: I don't think they did they botch it, No, but 1607 01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:51,400 Speaker 1: uh there. I'm surprised they huddled there, That's all I'll say. 1608 01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 1: I can't remember the play right before that. Was it 1609 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,840 Speaker 1: a big one or was it? Were they just selling 1610 01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary six yard pickup? Yeah? I think they were 1611 01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:01,880 Speaker 1: just kind of matriculating down the field, and I think 1612 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,599 Speaker 1: they got to the point where if the big play 1613 01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:08,679 Speaker 1: was going to happen short catch, long run, or somebody 1614 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,800 Speaker 1: dropping a coverage like they did on Cole Beasley right 1615 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:16,639 Speaker 1: on that last incompletion, that was the difference. And I 1616 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 1: felt like at that point when they huddled up and 1617 01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:23,000 Speaker 1: they said, let somebody must said, listen, let's get these 1618 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,160 Speaker 1: guys over time. We'll lean on our defense and think 1619 01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:27,720 Speaker 1: our offense can win it. Yeah. I think there was 1620 01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:30,559 Speaker 1: a point there, maybe a little earlier than fans wanted 1621 01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,120 Speaker 1: to see, where the team said, you know what, let's 1622 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,240 Speaker 1: just make sure we get this and extend this, give 1623 01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:37,200 Speaker 1: ourselves a chance. They needed more yardage of the fifty 1624 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,200 Speaker 1: three yard are going into that end of the field, 1625 01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,439 Speaker 1: on that surface, on that day and those conditions, it 1626 01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:45,880 Speaker 1: would have been a heroic kick. I gotta tell you, 1627 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:48,760 Speaker 1: at fifty three yard you think, okay, should Hey, that 1628 01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,400 Speaker 1: was a big kick. It was a really hard kick 1629 01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:53,439 Speaker 1: to make, and he didn't ultimately make it. He needed 1630 01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:55,240 Speaker 1: more yards to do it, and I think they wanted 1631 01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,559 Speaker 1: to make sure they gave him a chance on a 1632 01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 1: better shot at that field goal. They couldn't get it done. 1633 01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,200 Speaker 1: And I think that that line right there they couldn't 1634 01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,120 Speaker 1: get it done is the line of the day. I mean, 1635 01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,040 Speaker 1: that was the problem right there at the end. They 1636 01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 1: just didn't give enough of a chance for him to 1637 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,080 Speaker 1: get that play and to get into the end zone 1638 01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:15,720 Speaker 1: or to get a better field goal opportunity. They call 1639 01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:18,439 Speaker 1: fifty three yards on off grass in November. That's a 1640 01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:20,320 Speaker 1: lot of Cleveland. That's a lot to ask. It's called 1641 01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:23,679 Speaker 1: from stand in Buffalo. Are you They're saying, Hey, guys, 1642 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:27,240 Speaker 1: how you doing today? Good? Good? Hey. I'll keep it 1643 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,400 Speaker 1: really brief. I kind of had some game things, but 1644 01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:31,840 Speaker 1: just wanted to day you know what, We've won the 1645 01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,160 Speaker 1: games that we're supposed to win this year. If you 1646 01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,519 Speaker 1: sat around with your bodies at the beginning of the year, 1647 01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:40,519 Speaker 1: but everyone had him from six and ten to ten 1648 01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:43,400 Speaker 1: and six, and obviously Keith has an eleven plus, but 1649 01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:47,320 Speaker 1: let him have that, you know, but six and three 1650 01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,240 Speaker 1: where we're really supposed to be. You know, Cleveland is 1651 01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:53,840 Speaker 1: supposed to dominate this year. They got the offense. We're 1652 01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:56,479 Speaker 1: supposed to lose in New England, supposed to lose Stan. 1653 01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,439 Speaker 1: You're driving me crazy that there's a winnable game there yesterday, Stan. 1654 01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,439 Speaker 1: That's what there was. There was, there was and and 1655 01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,960 Speaker 1: just let the biggest three games I think we have 1656 01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:07,960 Speaker 1: left this year or we have to beat Miami, we 1657 01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:10,320 Speaker 1: have to beat Denver, we have to beat the Jets. 1658 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,400 Speaker 1: One more can you pick one more? At least one more. 1659 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:17,800 Speaker 1: Those are the three things we can We can win 1660 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:21,240 Speaker 1: another one we can Pittsburgh. I think we're gonna be Baltimore. Honestly, 1661 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:23,160 Speaker 1: I think we have their number. I think we can 1662 01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:25,560 Speaker 1: do that. Give them to give stand your prediction the 1663 01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:27,760 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day game. You think, Oh, I think the Bills 1664 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:29,479 Speaker 1: are going to go in the end of Dallas and win, 1665 01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,439 Speaker 1: and then they're gonna go into Dallas on Thanksgiving and 1666 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:38,519 Speaker 1: beat that team. Okay, but I guess if I was 1667 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,439 Speaker 1: rooting for eleven plus, I'd expect that one too. Is 1668 01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:48,080 Speaker 1: regression of Baker Mayfield or the progression of Josh Allen. Oh, 1669 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:51,200 Speaker 1: wave and run that fright against Would you guys rather 1670 01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:53,479 Speaker 1: at this point in time, fans, they're all picking on 1671 01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:57,240 Speaker 1: Dable and and Allen. Would you would guys rather have 1672 01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,360 Speaker 1: the regression of Baker Mayfield from last year to this 1673 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 1: year or the progression of Josh Allen from last year 1674 01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:05,880 Speaker 1: to this year. Can I do this first? Because I 1675 01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:08,360 Speaker 1: said this before before the game Sunday, and I believe 1676 01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:11,479 Speaker 1: it's still Josh and long term, I'd rather be in 1677 01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:13,519 Speaker 1: the Bill shoes than in Cleveland shoes right now. I 1678 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,160 Speaker 1: really would, I really would. There is there's an upside 1679 01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:19,719 Speaker 1: coming here and it certainly didn't look like it offensively yesterday, 1680 01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 1: But there's an upside for Josh and an upside for 1681 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:24,720 Speaker 1: the entire team. And yes, there is a culture here 1682 01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:27,080 Speaker 1: that I think we'll serve them well long term. Didn't 1683 01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 1: serve them for a victory yesterday, but it will serve 1684 01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,160 Speaker 1: them well in the long term. Love it, Johnny. And 1685 01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:33,600 Speaker 1: one more thing, if I can ask you guys a 1686 01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 1: question about yesterday's game. To me, I know it was 1687 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:40,439 Speaker 1: early in the game still, but after the safety that 1688 01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,840 Speaker 1: thirtain three, to me, we've had the mogo and I 1689 01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:46,240 Speaker 1: know we shut ourselves in the foot. We got to 1690 01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:48,840 Speaker 1: follow the third and three. I think that was a 1691 01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:52,880 Speaker 1: situation where maybe we put the fullback in the backfield, 1692 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:55,960 Speaker 1: we put Frank arbacker or singletary, and we tell the 1693 01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:58,559 Speaker 1: line at them on their rear ends and let's get 1694 01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:01,800 Speaker 1: three yards and win the football? Was what actually happen Beasley? Right? 1695 01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,439 Speaker 1: Was that the deep ball to Beasley? No? No, that 1696 01:22:04,479 --> 01:22:06,120 Speaker 1: was on four. That was on the last That was 1697 01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,719 Speaker 1: at the last drive. I'm talking about right after the safety, 1698 01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,760 Speaker 1: after halftime, it was third and three. I believe what 1699 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 1: happened on that third and three. I'm looking at the 1700 01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:16,439 Speaker 1: play by play there were third and three. I don't 1701 01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,080 Speaker 1: know what broke downs. We only see things on the field. 1702 01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:23,800 Speaker 1: Ball was ended up throwing into about a forty five 1703 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,759 Speaker 1: yard pass so in Filma could catch it, even including 1704 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,680 Speaker 1: our receiver. Right, that was Yeah, we're talking about you 1705 01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:33,240 Speaker 1: and that you're right. And here's the thing about that play, well, 1706 01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 1: and it's a little bit more of what we've seen 1707 01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,840 Speaker 1: from Josh at times. And I appreciate your call there 1708 01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 1: standing and I agree with you one hundred percent, But 1709 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,280 Speaker 1: that play had a chance not to go deep. But 1710 01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:45,160 Speaker 1: when they dropped back, they were in man coverage, and 1711 01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,200 Speaker 1: it was amazing to me that Josh didn't put that 1712 01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:51,000 Speaker 1: ball under his arm and run for twenty five. They 1713 01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 1: were in man coverage. Everybody dropped out. It's a four 1714 01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:56,000 Speaker 1: man rush. It looked like he had a lane and 1715 01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,880 Speaker 1: instead of throwing that ball forty five yards down the 1716 01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,880 Speaker 1: field into double covery, if Josh tucks that and takes 1717 01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:06,120 Speaker 1: five good strides, that's a first. I mean, all Josh, 1718 01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:10,439 Speaker 1: that's a point where Josh right there could have really 1719 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,400 Speaker 1: run for twenty yards. Seriously, it was one of those 1720 01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 1: things where it was just wide open because they were 1721 01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:17,519 Speaker 1: in man coverage and nobody was there and they had 1722 01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,160 Speaker 1: a four man rush. Everybody dropped away. It really looked 1723 01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,280 Speaker 1: like Josh was gonna pick that up with his legs 1724 01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,880 Speaker 1: and he decided to throw it deep. To me, that's 1725 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:26,519 Speaker 1: one of those points that if Josh just had his 1726 01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:29,519 Speaker 1: lights on just for a minute and could step away 1727 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:33,760 Speaker 1: from being concerned, you know, of not being a hero ball. Right, 1728 01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:35,800 Speaker 1: there is a point on that third and three that 1729 01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,080 Speaker 1: you just talked about where don't throw the football down 1730 01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,320 Speaker 1: the field, tuck it under your arms, stay on the field, 1731 01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:42,880 Speaker 1: get the first down. Just get the first down, let 1732 01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,479 Speaker 1: alone a twenty yard game that was there. But I 1733 01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 1: think that right there is a missed opportunity that I 1734 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:48,880 Speaker 1: agree with you, Stan and you know what's saying. And 1735 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,120 Speaker 1: as I think back and look back on the play 1736 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:54,160 Speaker 1: by play sheet that series, so that you get a safety, 1737 01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 1: you get the free kick, you start from your own 1738 01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,719 Speaker 1: thirty one, that great, but okay, and the series starts 1739 01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,200 Speaker 1: with a fall start penalty and a hold and all 1740 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,519 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's you know, second and long. I mean, 1741 01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:04,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They put themselves in that 1742 01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:08,280 Speaker 1: bad situation there two consecutive penalties that killed him. You 1743 01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:10,280 Speaker 1: should be able to move downfield after a safety. You 1744 01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,200 Speaker 1: get a decent drive, start at least right from her 1745 01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,600 Speaker 1: first and twenty five, and they got it to a 1746 01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:19,280 Speaker 1: third and three they I mean they climb back into it. Stan, Thanks, 1747 01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:21,400 Speaker 1: good call. We'll take a break. We're coming back with more. 1748 01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,679 Speaker 1: What a Bills Live coming to you from our Seneca 1749 01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:39,360 Speaker 1: studio in Orchard Park on Buffalo Bills Radio.

We gotta play this for you. Taylor Lawan, 1756 01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl uh is left tackle right for the 1757 01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,920 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, committed a couple of critical penalties in the 1758 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:06,920 Speaker 1: game and decided, as the media assembled around his locker, 1759 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,240 Speaker 1: he would address it head on. Listen to Taylor Lawe 1760 01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:15,080 Speaker 1: yesterday post game after their big win over Kansas City. Well, 1761 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,400 Speaker 1: let me before we even start this whole thing. My 1762 01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:22,559 Speaker 1: penalties are a problem. I am one hundred percent an 1763 01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:25,680 Speaker 1: issue with that. It's not intentional. I do not mean 1764 01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:28,519 Speaker 1: to do it. My intentions are good. I'm just trying 1765 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:31,639 Speaker 1: to finish and it's killing the team. And I know that. 1766 01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:33,600 Speaker 1: You guys need to know that. No one needs to 1767 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,639 Speaker 1: call me out or anything, because I got a boys, 1768 01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:39,360 Speaker 1: I am completely screwing the team with the amount of 1769 01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:42,559 Speaker 1: penalties I've had in these last six games. It's crazy, 1770 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:46,439 Speaker 1: It's it's horrible. I cannot get penalties. I'm sorry. There's 1771 01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:48,720 Speaker 1: no need to ask about it because I know I'm 1772 01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:52,960 Speaker 1: an absolute liability when it comes to penalties. Taylor Lue 1773 01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,519 Speaker 1: tries to put that baby to bed. They probably succeeded. 1774 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,040 Speaker 1: Who'd be the guy who would anybody there in the 1775 01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:00,479 Speaker 1: media say, Taylor, can I ask you about those penalties? 1776 01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:02,160 Speaker 1: Right after that? That's how they should have done it. 1777 01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:05,519 Speaker 1: Question about the penalties, Taylor, what would he have done? 1778 01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. Can you talk about the penalties better 1779 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:12,240 Speaker 1: than good? He he he's one of those guys. He's chippy. 1780 01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,439 Speaker 1: After the game with Buffalo, he got into that Twitter 1781 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,160 Speaker 1: war with some of the Bills player Shack Loss and 1782 01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:18,920 Speaker 1: the and the Bills guys rose up and came to 1783 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:23,519 Speaker 1: Shack's defense. And and Taylor Luan has always said, you know, uh, 1784 01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,800 Speaker 1: trash talking is good for the soul. He doesn't when 1785 01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:31,679 Speaker 1: he's on the field. Um, he loves Did he say that, Yeah, 1786 01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,680 Speaker 1: trash talking is Yeah, it's not exactly. He didn't use 1787 01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:38,320 Speaker 1: the word trash okay and sou And he said it 1788 01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:39,840 Speaker 1: to me in a production meeting when I was doing 1789 01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,120 Speaker 1: in his rookie season. He's good for the soul. That's 1790 01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:44,800 Speaker 1: why he does it. He that's where he lives his life. 1791 01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:48,000 Speaker 1: He you can tell he didn't shy away from it. 1792 01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:51,479 Speaker 1: He doesn't shy away from anything. Um on the field 1793 01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,720 Speaker 1: or off the field. That's the way he is. And 1794 01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:58,760 Speaker 1: and but when he says, I'm just my desires, just 1795 01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:04,120 Speaker 1: my desire to finish the play, he plays past the whistle. Yeah, 1796 01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:05,680 Speaker 1: that's where and that's where it comes from. It he 1797 01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:07,720 Speaker 1: gets and he gets called for it, and he's It 1798 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 1: happens a lot. He's got a chip on his shoulder. 1799 01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:12,960 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit out of bounds on 1800 01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:15,519 Speaker 1: his part a lot of times, but he owns it. 1801 01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:17,519 Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do? I'm gonna ask me 1802 01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:19,720 Speaker 1: a question about penalty. That's what I would do, right. 1803 01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:23,080 Speaker 1: He owns up to it, he does, but he does 1804 01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:25,400 Speaker 1: go past the whistle and they call him on it 1805 01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:29,320 Speaker 1: consistently and it hasn't changed him. Biggest takeaway from the 1806 01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,439 Speaker 1: Bill's loss. Let's get back to some phone calls here. 1807 01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:35,000 Speaker 1: Derek calling from South Carolina. Hello, Derek. You're not in Spartanburg, 1808 01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:39,240 Speaker 1: are you? Oh? No, sir, I'm from Gilbert, South Carolina, 1809 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,760 Speaker 1: just start of Colombia. Okay, Steve and I had an 1810 01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:43,920 Speaker 1: apartment in Spartanburg for a couple of weeks now, just 1811 01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:46,559 Speaker 1: a couple of days. The beautiful play. Yeah we liked it. 1812 01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, first and foremost I wondered whist everybody of 1813 01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:55,080 Speaker 1: veterans happy Best's Day, fast and present? Absolutely? Um, just 1814 01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 1: wanted to kind of talk to you guys. I mean, 1815 01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,679 Speaker 1: I'm a huge Josh Allen fan, Sean McDermot fan, I'm 1816 01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 1: a big Bills fan, and you know everybody's hyping on him. 1817 01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,200 Speaker 1: You know, this is stuck a year for Josh Allen, 1818 01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:08,920 Speaker 1: just like Eric Wood says, you know, Jim Kenner came 1819 01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:12,519 Speaker 1: into league and he wasn't a fashion star the first 1820 01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:16,480 Speaker 1: two three years of his years, and I'm just curious 1821 01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:20,160 Speaker 1: if you guys know, if you guys answer, why Josh 1822 01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:24,080 Speaker 1: Allen don't really check his checkdown receivers because, like everybody said, 1823 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:26,639 Speaker 1: you know, cool Beeley was wide open in the middle, 1824 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:30,479 Speaker 1: and I understand that John Brown was one on one, 1825 01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:33,160 Speaker 1: but a situation like that, you're just looking for some 1826 01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:37,160 Speaker 1: yards to get talked to a little bit closer. Yeah, 1827 01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:39,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what you guys thought about that. Yeah, 1828 01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:43,040 Speaker 1: he never really checked down his checkdown receivers. Well, he's 1829 01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:45,479 Speaker 1: learning how to play, right, seeve, Isn't that the simple answer? 1830 01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:47,599 Speaker 1: He's learning how I can do this? Yeah, you're right, Derek. 1831 01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,400 Speaker 1: I think it's hard for a guy who's as strong 1832 01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:53,920 Speaker 1: armed and athletic as Josh is to take the easy 1833 01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,400 Speaker 1: completion and as crazy it sounds, it seems too easy, 1834 01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,640 Speaker 1: or like you want to get as much as you 1835 01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,599 Speaker 1: can when you can get it, instead of taking what 1836 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:03,479 Speaker 1: the defense gives you as little as it may be. 1837 01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:06,840 Speaker 1: And that's hard for guys to do. Sometimes he did 1838 01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,519 Speaker 1: it for a minute, you know, We've seen him do 1839 01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:10,920 Speaker 1: it a game here, a game there, but he doesn't 1840 01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:13,840 Speaker 1: do it consistently. And I also think you got to 1841 01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:16,160 Speaker 1: tip your hat to the Brown's defense a little bit 1842 01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:19,479 Speaker 1: as well, because they were making doing what a lot 1843 01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:21,320 Speaker 1: of teams will try and do to the Bills, and 1844 01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:25,080 Speaker 1: that is put Josh in a position where he's got 1845 01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:29,960 Speaker 1: to take the easy throw. And a couple of the 1846 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:31,559 Speaker 1: throws he tried to make. One of them was tipped 1847 01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:32,800 Speaker 1: there at the end of the game, but he's trying. 1848 01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:35,560 Speaker 1: He made a couple of throws to like, you know, DeMarco, 1849 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:37,679 Speaker 1: and he threw it to Devin single to Devin Singletary 1850 01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:39,559 Speaker 1: had a bunch of catches in this game. He had. 1851 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:43,839 Speaker 1: Singletary had seven catches. He was a second leading reception 1852 01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:46,719 Speaker 1: guy on the Bills behind John Brown. He had seven 1853 01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:52,280 Speaker 1: receptions for only eight yards. So to you put that, 1854 01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:54,479 Speaker 1: you tell your quarterback to take the easy reception and 1855 01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna give him seven receptions on eight yards. That's 1856 01:29:57,080 --> 01:30:01,000 Speaker 1: hard for him to do, so I'll get it. Yeah, 1857 01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 1: I was just wondering what yall thought about that. And Steve, 1858 01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of years man. I got a 1859 01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:09,120 Speaker 1: jersey you framed in my in my facement in my 1860 01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:12,000 Speaker 1: man room, and I just just love you guys the 1861 01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:14,000 Speaker 1: show and thank you for my call. Thank you dare 1862 01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,640 Speaker 1: shit and and I hadn't really thought about it. You're right. 1863 01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:18,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we all see it like and we're all 1864 01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:20,880 Speaker 1: we're harped. We're all were talking on that. Like last 1865 01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:23,320 Speaker 1: fourth down, third down play where they had to go 1866 01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:25,240 Speaker 1: for the fifty three yard field goal and sit of 1867 01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:27,960 Speaker 1: a little closer or get a first down. Cole Beasley 1868 01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:29,719 Speaker 1: was by himself over the end side of the bowl, 1869 01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:32,599 Speaker 1: on the other side of the field. And you know, 1870 01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:36,320 Speaker 1: there's still a work in progress with Josh and it 1871 01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:40,280 Speaker 1: seems easy from where we're at, but there's so much 1872 01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:43,720 Speaker 1: on his plate right now that he's trying to digest, 1873 01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:47,360 Speaker 1: and he's trying to do it really really fast, and 1874 01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:49,479 Speaker 1: and he's missing some stuff because of it. And that's 1875 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:53,400 Speaker 1: as the story with all of young quarterbacks. The more 1876 01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:55,760 Speaker 1: you can give them, the better off you are if 1877 01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:58,280 Speaker 1: they can handle it, if they can think through things. 1878 01:30:58,479 --> 01:30:59,960 Speaker 1: But the problem is that we've seen you don't have 1879 01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:02,040 Speaker 1: time to do that. You got to know it, and 1880 01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:06,240 Speaker 1: when this happens, you go here now, right now. And 1881 01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:08,360 Speaker 1: I think Josh is still on thinking, Okay, if there's 1882 01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:10,240 Speaker 1: there now in this play might get out is ooh, 1883 01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:12,240 Speaker 1: it's over here, and that you know, that's too long. 1884 01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:14,880 Speaker 1: And I think that's where Josh is too many times 1885 01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,599 Speaker 1: these days, because there are options for him, and there 1886 01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,719 Speaker 1: are easy completions, as Derek the Coller just said, But Josh, 1887 01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:22,920 Speaker 1: you gotta get to him a little faster and release 1888 01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,559 Speaker 1: that ball accurately. And that's that's still, you know, still 1889 01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:27,600 Speaker 1: not there all the time, not quite there. We're to 1890 01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:29,719 Speaker 1: take a break. Chris Brown's gonna join us when we return, 1891 01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:32,519 Speaker 1: and we'll talk to him about his biggest takeaway, Your 1892 01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:34,680 Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from the Bills loss to the Browns. Come 1893 01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:37,120 Speaker 1: on back for that. One goes Live presented by Kalida 1894 01:31:37,160 --> 01:31:40,240 Speaker 1: Health from the Seneca Studio in Archerd Park on Buffalo 1895 01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:57,200 Speaker 1: Bills Radio bo Hills Radio Network.

Happy to have our buddy 1939 01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:04,160 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com in 1940 01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:07,640 Speaker 1: studio with us from his day in Cleveland. Chris, welcome, 1941 01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:09,880 Speaker 1: thank coming on the show. Sure sure, good to be here. 1942 01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:12,040 Speaker 1: Great to have you here. Let me start you off 1943 01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:14,519 Speaker 1: with what we're asking folks on Twitter. Your biggest takeaway 1944 01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:17,439 Speaker 1: please from yesterday's three point loss? What do you think 1945 01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:22,240 Speaker 1: gotta score more? Thank you, Chris, I'll see I'll see 1946 01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:24,840 Speaker 1: you next week. Thanks for stopping by. We know that. Yeah, 1947 01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:27,160 Speaker 1: I think you can't win. You can't win that way 1948 01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:29,479 Speaker 1: consistently in the league. And you know, I know I've 1949 01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:31,280 Speaker 1: had this conversation with you guys. Also, when you get 1950 01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:33,800 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, most playoff teams that have any rate 1951 01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,120 Speaker 1: of success score twenty four points a game on average, 1952 01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:38,360 Speaker 1: and the Bills are five or six points behind that 1953 01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:43,440 Speaker 1: right now. And I think one of the most confounding 1954 01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:46,800 Speaker 1: things for me is what happens when they come out 1955 01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,640 Speaker 1: in the second half. The third quarter has been a 1956 01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:53,840 Speaker 1: bugaboo for this team in terms of generating points. They've 1957 01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:56,920 Speaker 1: only scored eighteen points in the third quarter all season long, 1958 01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:59,400 Speaker 1: and two of them came from the defense yesterday, which 1959 01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:01,160 Speaker 1: was the only two they got. They got outscored in 1960 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:06,720 Speaker 1: a third quarter yesterday, three to two. Right, But they 1961 01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:09,080 Speaker 1: haven't scored in the third quarter in five of their 1962 01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:12,639 Speaker 1: eight games. There have been five instances where they've trailed 1963 01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,479 Speaker 1: entering the third quarter, and they still trail after the 1964 01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:19,559 Speaker 1: third quarter is out this season, So I don't I 1965 01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:21,400 Speaker 1: see it. What does that tell us, though, what's going on? 1966 01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:23,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the other teams are making 1967 01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:27,639 Speaker 1: adjustments that apparently are more effective than the ones we're making. 1968 01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:30,280 Speaker 1: So I don't know if and believe me, I think 1969 01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:32,920 Speaker 1: there's an overarching problem with the offense that goes beyond 1970 01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:35,760 Speaker 1: just a third quarter's third quarter. It goes beyond that. 1971 01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:40,360 Speaker 1: But you know, the run the run pass mix yesterday 1972 01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 1: I think was slanted far too far, too much towards 1973 01:35:43,439 --> 01:35:46,240 Speaker 1: the pass, even with all those eight man boxes Cleveland 1974 01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:48,200 Speaker 1: was shown him. Yeah, And I think the problem was 1975 01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:50,759 Speaker 1: they were trying to run Frank or wide on some plays, 1976 01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:53,360 Speaker 1: and he's not a wide runner anymore. He cannot get 1977 01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:56,680 Speaker 1: to the edge. He's a between the tackles runner for me, 1978 01:35:57,200 --> 01:36:00,920 Speaker 1: and once you start running him on sweet and stretch plays, 1979 01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:03,800 Speaker 1: you're not gonna get much there. I don't think from 1980 01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:05,760 Speaker 1: him because I don't think he gets there fast enough. 1981 01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:09,000 Speaker 1: He's not a lateral mover. I don't know they ever 1982 01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:12,840 Speaker 1: has been. To be honest with you, you want to 1983 01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,439 Speaker 1: run something a little off tackle, that's fine, but stretch 1984 01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:18,879 Speaker 1: plays just you can't use him there. I thought Singletary 1985 01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:21,000 Speaker 1: should have been used more. We've been pining for that 1986 01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:23,080 Speaker 1: for weeks. He did it, you know, two weeks ago, 1987 01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:26,120 Speaker 1: and it was great, ran it against a twenty eighth 1988 01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:28,320 Speaker 1: rank run defense. But this was the thirtieth rank run 1989 01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:30,760 Speaker 1: defense and you only ran a twenty two times. I 1990 01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:32,479 Speaker 1: would have run him more. They were set up to 1991 01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:36,160 Speaker 1: stop the run. Though. Yes, I understand that, but look 1992 01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:40,000 Speaker 1: at Singletary's average. He was effective. He was effective. What 1993 01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:42,360 Speaker 1: are the average five? Five point three? Five point three? 1994 01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:44,839 Speaker 1: I mean that's putting you in favorable down in distance, 1995 01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,760 Speaker 1: that's keeping you on schedule. I mean, I'm not gonna 1996 01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:49,040 Speaker 1: say that it would have stayed that way if you 1997 01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:52,559 Speaker 1: ran him forty times. But I can think off the 1998 01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:55,120 Speaker 1: top of my head, just rolling through the plays in 1999 01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:57,759 Speaker 1: the game, there was one time where he just got stoned, 2000 01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:01,080 Speaker 1: completely stoned. And here's the difference for me with Singletary. 2001 01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:03,320 Speaker 1: There were plays where he was getting four yards where 2002 01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:06,479 Speaker 1: there was nothing, nothing there, and he's still getting your 2003 01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:10,559 Speaker 1: four yards. So why not keep feeding that because to me, 2004 01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:14,080 Speaker 1: that's a higher that's a higher percentage play. And right now, 2005 01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:16,719 Speaker 1: the Bills on third down are twenty first in the league, 2006 01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:19,000 Speaker 1: and the biggest problem on third down for them in 2007 01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:22,200 Speaker 1: terms of conversions is third, medium, third and four to six. 2008 01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:26,960 Speaker 1: It's one of their lowest percentages. And you know, I 2009 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:29,080 Speaker 1: know there's other problems too, hitting the deep ball and 2010 01:37:29,120 --> 01:37:35,559 Speaker 1: all of this stuff. I think philosophically, they're they're kind 2011 01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:39,240 Speaker 1: of in purgatory right now as an offense. What I 2012 01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:42,479 Speaker 1: mean by that is they want to push this offense 2013 01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:44,800 Speaker 1: forward and believe they can be more efficient by using 2014 01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,920 Speaker 1: a short to intermed a passing game. But I think 2015 01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:50,040 Speaker 1: in the process, what you're doing is you're taking away 2016 01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:52,680 Speaker 1: some of what Josh's unique skill set is, which is 2017 01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,439 Speaker 1: throwing the ball deep, which is not a high percentage play. 2018 01:37:55,960 --> 01:38:01,200 Speaker 1: But you're you're halfway between all let me finish, half, 2019 01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:04,160 Speaker 1: let me finish. You're halfway between an offense. That is, 2020 01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:08,519 Speaker 1: you're halfway between an offense that's consistent enough to finish 2021 01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:11,799 Speaker 1: ten to twelve play drives and you have a quarterback 2022 01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:14,080 Speaker 1: that's capable of shortening those drives down to three and 2023 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:17,120 Speaker 1: four plays with a big chunk play right now, the 2024 01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:21,600 Speaker 1: chunk plays are they're absent, right, they're absent that he 2025 01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:25,160 Speaker 1: can do that? Yeah, why he's Josh is not hitting 2026 01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:27,920 Speaker 1: guys on the deep ball. This is an offense that 2027 01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:30,360 Speaker 1: was building, and we set it from the beginning. It's 2028 01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:33,040 Speaker 1: not about having an identity. It's about being able to 2029 01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:35,800 Speaker 1: do different things and win effectively doing different like running 2030 01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:37,559 Speaker 1: the ball this week, throwing the ball next week, deep 2031 01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:41,759 Speaker 1: ball this week, intermediate ball the next week, the short 2032 01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:47,880 Speaker 1: pass the third week. And it's about matchups. And interestingly enough, 2033 01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:50,400 Speaker 1: I mean Devin's single Harry Terry has a big game 2034 01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:52,679 Speaker 1: last week and he kind of emerged on the scene 2035 01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:56,280 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's like nobody understands. The 2036 01:38:56,280 --> 01:39:01,160 Speaker 1: Browns are watching that film too. Yeah, so why this is? 2037 01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:03,680 Speaker 1: I thought he was making something out of nothing yesterday? Yeah, 2038 01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:07,280 Speaker 1: I really do. How Yeah, but how I do? All right? 2039 01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:12,439 Speaker 1: So anyway, so my point is, why would you change 2040 01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:14,759 Speaker 1: what you try to do all year of getting matchups 2041 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:17,519 Speaker 1: and all that stuff and bang your head against the wall. 2042 01:39:18,479 --> 01:39:20,160 Speaker 1: Well I didn't. I didn't say that. I just said 2043 01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:22,559 Speaker 1: they're in they're kind of he's making stuff out of nothing. 2044 01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:25,800 Speaker 1: I thought Singletary was against eight man boxes when he 2045 01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:28,599 Speaker 1: wasn't getting the blocks he's getting. He's getting met at 2046 01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:30,400 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and he's slipping free and he's 2047 01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:32,960 Speaker 1: still getting three and four yards. Look at his numbers, 2048 01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:36,400 Speaker 1: he's five point three per carry. That's productive, is it not? Well, 2049 01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:38,479 Speaker 1: give it to him more. He had one run for 2050 01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:41,040 Speaker 1: ten and another run for I think yeah, And you 2051 01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:43,400 Speaker 1: had a quarterback under fifty five percent completion. You know 2052 01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:45,280 Speaker 1: what this team is When he's under fifty five percent 2053 01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:47,600 Speaker 1: completion this year, they're owing three. That puts him so 2054 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:53,160 Speaker 1: run the ball attempts at twenty yards. Why are you 2055 01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:54,840 Speaker 1: getting mad? You're talking to me about banging my head 2056 01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:58,000 Speaker 1: against the wall. It's productive, it's not productive. Five point 2057 01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:00,479 Speaker 1: three per carry, Steve. Look at the number. Oh it's not. 2058 01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:03,920 Speaker 1: Come on, it's two runs. It's not nine. It's two runs. 2059 01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:07,479 Speaker 1: It's black and white. The two runs he had were 2060 01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:09,880 Speaker 1: against seven or six guys in the box. There were 2061 01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:11,559 Speaker 1: eight and nine yard runs, so the rest of the 2062 01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:15,920 Speaker 1: time it was a three yard average. That's the way 2063 01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:17,640 Speaker 1: it is. I mean, and you're and you're doing that 2064 01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:21,280 Speaker 1: on a on a series by series basis where you're 2065 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:23,200 Speaker 1: coming out of things, and they know he's in the 2066 01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:26,400 Speaker 1: game and Singletary is not. I mean, Gore is not 2067 01:40:26,479 --> 01:40:31,000 Speaker 1: running it well, Singletaries guy. So then they started then 2068 01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:33,320 Speaker 1: they started trying to They tried to throw it to him, 2069 01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:38,840 Speaker 1: and once again you see that the Browns are saying, listen, 2070 01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:42,160 Speaker 1: Singletary is not beating us. He had eight catch, seven 2071 01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:46,320 Speaker 1: catches for eight yards. I mean, I just think I 2072 01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:49,479 Speaker 1: don't think this. I don't, I didn't, and I guess 2073 01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:51,439 Speaker 1: the coaching staff didn't see it the same way you did. 2074 01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:53,920 Speaker 1: I just think they're trying to find a way to 2075 01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:57,120 Speaker 1: be efficient as an offense and push the offense forward, 2076 01:40:57,600 --> 01:41:01,000 Speaker 1: which fine, I get that, but I think at something 2077 01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:04,360 Speaker 1: in some ways you're compromising some of the unique qualities 2078 01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:06,479 Speaker 1: of Josh. And I think we're at a point now 2079 01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:09,840 Speaker 1: where you've gone away from the deep ball so much 2080 01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:13,479 Speaker 1: that Josh is having trouble hitting it now. And I'm 2081 01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:16,360 Speaker 1: not blaming anybody for that because they practice it every week. 2082 01:41:17,120 --> 01:41:20,160 Speaker 1: But Josh even said in himself after the game yesterday, 2083 01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:24,640 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I'm worried about underthrowing it and causing interception. 2084 01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's an indication that it's a little bit 2085 01:41:26,760 --> 01:41:29,120 Speaker 1: in his head. Yeah, there's an argument to be made 2086 01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:30,720 Speaker 1: there because I think he was a pretty good deep 2087 01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:34,800 Speaker 1: ball thrower last ye Yes, he was very gone. And 2088 01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:38,040 Speaker 1: what have you taken? You've you've stripped him down. And 2089 01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:39,519 Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to go this far, 2090 01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,200 Speaker 1: but some people have argued that you've stripped him down 2091 01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:46,760 Speaker 1: to being a game manager, and you don't. You don't 2092 01:41:46,840 --> 01:41:49,120 Speaker 1: draft somebody seventh overall to be a game You're over 2093 01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:51,439 Speaker 1: that too. Well, here's the thing too, do you how 2094 01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:53,840 Speaker 1: do you think he's operated though, Like he didn't play 2095 01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:57,840 Speaker 1: well yesterday operationally? How has he played though? Has he 2096 01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:06,320 Speaker 1: been like a difference are making huge plays? And I 2097 01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:08,200 Speaker 1: get it, we're talking about Josh, So it's kind of 2098 01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:10,479 Speaker 1: about Josh. But the whole thing isn't about Josh. They're 2099 01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:13,679 Speaker 1: trying like they're trying to win games. They were getting 2100 01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:17,000 Speaker 1: beat or almost losing games because Josh was throwing three 2101 01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:19,400 Speaker 1: picks a game playing hero ball, so they dialed him back. 2102 01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:24,439 Speaker 1: And now they still had one bad game against Philly 2103 01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:26,519 Speaker 1: where they got lumped up pretty good. But the rest 2104 01:42:26,560 --> 01:42:31,280 Speaker 1: of these games against the against Browns and against the 2105 01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:34,160 Speaker 1: UH Patriots, those other they're right and the other games 2106 01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:36,920 Speaker 1: the rest of them they're winning. They are trying to 2107 01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:39,640 Speaker 1: dial it now, no question, it's a delicate battance between you, 2108 01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:41,479 Speaker 1: don't you wanted to kind of play hero ball when 2109 01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:43,719 Speaker 1: it's there and not cough it up. Even yesterday coughed 2110 01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:46,439 Speaker 1: one up and Feliciano bailed him out. You gotta make 2111 01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:48,240 Speaker 1: sure he doesn't turn it over, so you do dial 2112 01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:51,240 Speaker 1: it back. And then, of course when it doesn't go 2113 01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:53,960 Speaker 1: well like yesterday, you're gonna think, Wow, they're they're they're 2114 01:42:54,040 --> 01:42:57,400 Speaker 1: way over you know, they're they're handcuffings. Wait a minute, 2115 01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:00,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying they're in purgatory. Yeah, because that's where they are. 2116 01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:04,280 Speaker 1: They're not. It's a difficult balance that they can't fall 2117 01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:06,040 Speaker 1: on one side or the other. So they're kind of 2118 01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:08,439 Speaker 1: stuck in the middle here. They're trying to push his 2119 01:43:08,520 --> 01:43:11,160 Speaker 1: game forward, but at the same time they're dialing him back. 2120 01:43:11,160 --> 01:43:13,519 Speaker 1: As you just said, so to me, you're kind of 2121 01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:16,800 Speaker 1: caught between a rock and a hard pick offense, which 2122 01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:21,640 Speaker 1: process the process of Josh becoming an NFL quarterback. This 2123 01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:23,439 Speaker 1: is how in the middle of it, they're putting it 2124 01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:26,120 Speaker 1: on Josh's play to play like an NFL quarterback, not 2125 01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:30,120 Speaker 1: a high school quarterback. They're not in purgatory. They're they're 2126 01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:33,160 Speaker 1: getting Josh to play like an NFL quarterback, and right 2127 01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:35,200 Speaker 1: now he's not up to it yet in every situation, 2128 01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:37,639 Speaker 1: which again is why I'm going to argue to kind 2129 01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:42,040 Speaker 1: of somehow feature Singletary more to take the burden off 2130 01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:45,400 Speaker 1: of Josh because right now, maybe it is too much 2131 01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:48,680 Speaker 1: to put on him well at this stage of his development, 2132 01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:52,760 Speaker 1: So why not find ways to kind of diversify the 2133 01:43:52,840 --> 01:43:56,000 Speaker 1: offense through Singletary, who I think we'd all agree is 2134 01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:59,320 Speaker 1: a more than capable back that can do a multitude 2135 01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:02,920 Speaker 1: of things and try to balance out the offense a 2136 01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,200 Speaker 1: little bit more that way. Right, Here's the thing too, 2137 01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:07,080 Speaker 1: They were tried, they and they tried to They tried, 2138 01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,240 Speaker 1: and I said, miss mistakenly, I said earlier the Devin 2139 01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:11,160 Speaker 1: Singletary had seven or sent he didn't have. He had 2140 01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:14,080 Speaker 1: seven targets, three receptions, So they were trying to get 2141 01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:16,479 Speaker 1: it to him they couldn't. And also in the attempt 2142 01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:19,200 Speaker 1: they in and he had eight rushing attempts at which 2143 01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:23,240 Speaker 1: led the team. But aside from yeah, and even more 2144 01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:25,800 Speaker 1: than Josh, so he was kind of the centerpied. We 2145 01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:29,760 Speaker 1: kind of figured he would. And quite frankly, what you're 2146 01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:31,519 Speaker 1: telling me is you just think they stopped trying to 2147 01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:33,400 Speaker 1: get it too many. I just, well, yeah, I don't 2148 01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:35,960 Speaker 1: know why it was a tight game. It's not like 2149 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:40,400 Speaker 1: you're you're down ten and you have to throw. So 2150 01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:43,320 Speaker 1: that that's why I'm saying. And I understand the eight 2151 01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:47,080 Speaker 1: man box lady, I understand that, but I mean there 2152 01:44:47,080 --> 01:44:49,400 Speaker 1: have been times where they've run against eight man boxes before. 2153 01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:51,040 Speaker 1: They did it with Gore earlier in the season, a 2154 01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:54,080 Speaker 1: lot of eight man boxes and ran him a good deal, yea. 2155 01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:56,400 Speaker 1: And there are things you can do with your quarterback 2156 01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:59,479 Speaker 1: because of the athlete that he is, that could defeat 2157 01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:02,599 Speaker 1: some of those eight man boys. So to me, I think, 2158 01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:05,760 Speaker 1: I think there's gotta be a way to diversify the 2159 01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:08,800 Speaker 1: offense in such a fashion where you take at least 2160 01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:11,599 Speaker 1: some of the burden off Josh to a certain extent. Now, 2161 01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm also going to say this. John Brown stood up 2162 01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:15,720 Speaker 1: in the locker room for the second time in three 2163 01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:17,920 Speaker 1: weeks and said he made a wrong read on the 2164 01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:20,120 Speaker 1: final drive of the game. I mean, we can go 2165 01:45:20,160 --> 01:45:21,720 Speaker 1: back to the fourth down play where he said he 2166 01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:24,040 Speaker 1: ran the wrong route what was at Philadelphia and the 2167 01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:25,720 Speaker 1: ball was behind him. On the fourth and ten, he 2168 01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:27,400 Speaker 1: ran a post he was supposed to come back to 2169 01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:31,519 Speaker 1: him turnover on downs yesterday, third and four, final drive, 2170 01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:34,960 Speaker 1: Josh gives him a sight adjust by patting his leg, 2171 01:45:35,320 --> 01:45:39,240 Speaker 1: telling him you're hot. It's a back shoulder throw. Josh 2172 01:45:39,280 --> 01:45:42,439 Speaker 1: drops back, covers zero blitz in his face. He throws 2173 01:45:42,479 --> 01:45:44,240 Speaker 1: the ball where John's supposed to be on the back 2174 01:45:44,240 --> 01:45:46,360 Speaker 1: shoulder throw along the sideline to get out of bounds 2175 01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:48,000 Speaker 1: and stop the clock. He turned his head the wrong 2176 01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,599 Speaker 1: way inside and he's never in position for the ball, 2177 01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:53,080 Speaker 1: and people are screaming that Josh didn't see Cole Beasley 2178 01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,479 Speaker 1: on the left side. He's throwing hot to John Brown. 2179 01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:57,519 Speaker 1: He did the right thing on that play, but it 2180 01:45:57,560 --> 01:45:59,920 Speaker 1: looks like Josh is out to lunch and not doing 2181 01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:02,240 Speaker 1: the right thing when an actuality, he did exactly what 2182 01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:04,320 Speaker 1: he was supposed to do. The receiver had a bust 2183 01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:07,720 Speaker 1: on the play, So there's a multitude of things that 2184 01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:09,920 Speaker 1: are going on out there. So I you know, you 2185 01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:12,679 Speaker 1: talked about dialing things back a little bit so Josh 2186 01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:14,920 Speaker 1: doesn't turn the ball over as much. I'm wondering if 2187 01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:16,800 Speaker 1: you have to dial things back so there are a 2188 01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:19,000 Speaker 1: fewer option routes and things of that nature, so this 2189 01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:21,760 Speaker 1: offense can execute more effectively. And one other thing too, 2190 01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:26,599 Speaker 1: is hold on, I've now I lost it calling wants 2191 01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:29,320 Speaker 1: stuck on this very topic. I believe Mark in Tonawanda. 2192 01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:32,760 Speaker 1: Are you still there? Mark? Man? You guys made me 2193 01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:37,280 Speaker 1: wait a long time. Sorry, Mark, No, thanks for having 2194 01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:41,240 Speaker 1: me on. Guys. It's a frustrating date. Yeah. I'm thankful 2195 01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:45,000 Speaker 1: for Chris Brown right now because with all true respects, Steve, 2196 01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:47,439 Speaker 1: my dad loves you, talks you up to me, but 2197 01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:50,720 Speaker 1: I think you're off your rocker, Man. That was worth 2198 01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:54,960 Speaker 1: waiting for it now, wasn't it. Mark, Welcome to the 2199 01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:58,680 Speaker 1: majority of the planet Earth. Go ahead. I don't mean 2200 01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:01,639 Speaker 1: to be disrespectful, but Steve, that's okay. I mean they 2201 01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:04,800 Speaker 1: are they're twenty third in yards per game, and they're 2202 01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:07,559 Speaker 1: twenty five and points per game the ranks twenty five. 2203 01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:11,280 Speaker 1: They're not doing good things on offense here. And I 2204 01:47:11,439 --> 01:47:15,160 Speaker 1: think the big thing is you drafted Josh Allen. He's 2205 01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:17,800 Speaker 1: got a big arm. I feel like you've they've turned 2206 01:47:17,840 --> 01:47:20,800 Speaker 1: him into a game manager. He's Tyrod Taylor. He's playing 2207 01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:23,320 Speaker 1: so the defense can win them the game. And that's 2208 01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:25,439 Speaker 1: not why you draft this guy. I think it's eight 2209 01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:27,960 Speaker 1: seventh or eighth overall. That's not why you have a 2210 01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:32,920 Speaker 1: quarterback like Josh Allen. We got fifth rounds rookies that 2211 01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:37,599 Speaker 1: are throwing over three hundred yards and that's just he's 2212 01:47:37,600 --> 01:47:40,200 Speaker 1: not playing good enough, and that falls on Dable. I 2213 01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:43,680 Speaker 1: love what the Ravens are doing with Lamar Jackson. Can 2214 01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:45,559 Speaker 1: I just back here for a second, mark He's not 2215 01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:48,920 Speaker 1: playing good enough and that's all on Dable. No, no, no, 2216 01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:51,080 Speaker 1: I think I think it falls on Dab. It falls 2217 01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:54,479 Speaker 1: on Dable. But this goes into my next point of 2218 01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:59,640 Speaker 1: having the offense surrounded around Josh's skill set. Josh is 2219 01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:03,280 Speaker 1: not a good design runner. He's back at running when 2220 01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:07,040 Speaker 1: the playbreak dounds and he can use his mobility that way. 2221 01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:10,240 Speaker 1: Look at the Ravens. They put their whole offense around 2222 01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:14,720 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. They run our po style and they are 2223 01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:18,840 Speaker 1: He's thriving. He's unbelievable because they send their offense around 2224 01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:22,200 Speaker 1: his skills that he's not under center, he's not, They're 2225 01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:26,000 Speaker 1: They're just changing the game. And the last point I 2226 01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:28,639 Speaker 1: want to make is where the heck is at Oliver? 2227 01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:31,320 Speaker 1: Is he even on the team. I mean, listen to 2228 01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:33,519 Speaker 1: the defensive side. I don't think they're elite. I think 2229 01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:36,200 Speaker 1: they're a really good defense. But I thought Wallace got 2230 01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:38,360 Speaker 1: burned and I think Oliver has been a no show. 2231 01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:41,120 Speaker 1: But those are my thoughts. I was on hold for 2232 01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:44,200 Speaker 1: a while. Love the show. Thankful for Chris Brown and 2233 01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:49,160 Speaker 1: uh go bills. All right, thanksgiving everybody, thanks for listening 2234 01:48:49,360 --> 01:48:52,360 Speaker 1: at Oliver and on thirty three percent of the snaps 2235 01:48:52,439 --> 01:48:56,479 Speaker 1: yesterday twenty three snaps. Um, you know, I think they 2236 01:48:56,479 --> 01:48:58,720 Speaker 1: feel like they're getting better play from other guys up there, 2237 01:48:58,840 --> 01:49:00,920 Speaker 1: quite frankly, than they got from Oliver. I would not 2238 01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:03,960 Speaker 1: write him off yet, but they need more development from him. 2239 01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:05,720 Speaker 1: What about is Josh Allen? Do you want to talk 2240 01:49:05,760 --> 01:49:07,760 Speaker 1: about it? What do you want to know? He was 2241 01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:10,080 Speaker 1: your fan? That guy was your fan? Yeah? No, I 2242 01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:14,200 Speaker 1: mean I understand why why Ed's not playing. He hasn't 2243 01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:18,439 Speaker 1: been as effective. Jordan Phillips been a more effective player. Um. 2244 01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:20,160 Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty telling the amount of time 2245 01:49:20,200 --> 01:49:24,360 Speaker 1: Corey legic guy. Yeah, yesterday, So, I mean the guy 2246 01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:27,479 Speaker 1: just signed on Tuesday and what did he play thirty 2247 01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:32,360 Speaker 1: He was in the thirties. Also, I think seventeen snaps. Yeah, 2248 01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:34,800 Speaker 1: and he's playing there at the end of the game, 2249 01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:39,200 Speaker 1: yep too. So I thought that was pretty telling. Um. 2250 01:49:39,320 --> 01:49:42,439 Speaker 1: But you know, the problem I had on defense was 2251 01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:47,160 Speaker 1: there was a there was an unfortunate matchup between Jarvis 2252 01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:50,960 Speaker 1: Landry and Levi Wallace that was just a mismatch. And 2253 01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:56,840 Speaker 1: I love Levi. I think he's a reliable player in 2254 01:49:56,920 --> 01:49:59,559 Speaker 1: a zone scheme, which is what the Bills are to 2255 01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:03,720 Speaker 1: a large degree. But when it's a man call, he 2256 01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:06,280 Speaker 1: has tough time sometimes with some of these matchups. And 2257 01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:10,960 Speaker 1: this isn't the first time, and you know it's not 2258 01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:13,080 Speaker 1: my call, but you got Kevin Johnson, who is a 2259 01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:15,800 Speaker 1: great athlete, a former first round pick, who I think 2260 01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:20,160 Speaker 1: can play press. You may need to openly discuss that 2261 01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:23,679 Speaker 1: when you have the kind of talent in an opponent 2262 01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:26,000 Speaker 1: that the Browns were putting on the field, you know, 2263 01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:28,840 Speaker 1: it's it's just you're trying to do what's best for 2264 01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:32,240 Speaker 1: your defense and you might need a better athlete out there, 2265 01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:35,880 Speaker 1: and Kevin Johnson is that. Yeah. I mean, we're getting 2266 01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:37,439 Speaker 1: a lot of calls on that because and then let's 2267 01:50:37,439 --> 01:50:39,759 Speaker 1: face it, it showed up big time in that final 2268 01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:41,800 Speaker 1: touchdown drive when the guy was standing by himself in 2269 01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:43,439 Speaker 1: the end zone and it was one on one coverage 2270 01:50:43,439 --> 01:50:45,800 Speaker 1: and Levi Walls is the guy and I get it. 2271 01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:47,840 Speaker 1: And that kind of accentuates what we've seen though, And 2272 01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:50,760 Speaker 1: it might have been my contention. Anybody who plays over there, 2273 01:50:50,760 --> 01:50:55,519 Speaker 1: whether it's Kevin Johnson or well, you name it, they're 2274 01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:57,639 Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of targets, right because nobody's throwing 2275 01:50:57,640 --> 01:51:00,600 Speaker 1: at Tredavious. Right, nobody's throwing at Tredavious. Teams are going 2276 01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:02,840 Speaker 1: to give them matchups that are as favorable as they 2277 01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,280 Speaker 1: possibly can. Now, unless they take Turnavius and put it 2278 01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:07,720 Speaker 1: on their number one, they're gonna put their number two 2279 01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:12,200 Speaker 1: guy on Levi and go. Yeah, I mean that's gonna 2280 01:51:12,200 --> 01:51:14,320 Speaker 1: be the way they do it, and go and there. Man, 2281 01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:16,679 Speaker 1: all you gotta do is look at the targets yesterday. 2282 01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:20,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Landry ten targets and he had nine catches. Yeah, 2283 01:51:20,920 --> 01:51:23,800 Speaker 1: that's tough. That's a tough. And we figured Jarvis Landry 2284 01:51:23,840 --> 01:51:25,880 Speaker 1: is a really good player. Well yeah, and that's and 2285 01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:30,719 Speaker 1: that's the thing. And look, Levi has overachieved his entire life, 2286 01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:33,600 Speaker 1: I mean from being a walk on at Alabama the 2287 01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:35,960 Speaker 1: starting there a senior year to earning the starting job, 2288 01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:38,639 Speaker 1: and he absolutely earned it in the preseason, absolutely earned 2289 01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:41,519 Speaker 1: the starting job here and last year was a very 2290 01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:45,600 Speaker 1: steady player. But the concern now is this film is 2291 01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:48,719 Speaker 1: out there for three weeks now that when the Bills 2292 01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:52,639 Speaker 1: are in a man call of any kind, press whatever, 2293 01:51:52,800 --> 01:51:55,599 Speaker 1: find him. That's where you're going. You're looking at thirty 2294 01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:58,760 Speaker 1: nine like the quarterback is doing that automatically. And that 2295 01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:04,160 Speaker 1: is a tough thing to rectify, I mean, schematically right 2296 01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:07,479 Speaker 1: right the defense to rectify schematic. The defense can only 2297 01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:09,360 Speaker 1: help him so much. I can roll a safety to 2298 01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:11,439 Speaker 1: his side, they can run a guy out underneath him, 2299 01:52:11,439 --> 01:52:13,160 Speaker 1: and that kind of thing, but there's only so much 2300 01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:15,920 Speaker 1: you can do, particularly when they got the guy wide. 2301 01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:18,840 Speaker 1: And it's and philosophically, it's a top down defense. So 2302 01:52:19,120 --> 01:52:20,960 Speaker 1: and Levi has done a great job of not getting 2303 01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:23,040 Speaker 1: beat deep. I mean, he doesn't give up cheap and 2304 01:52:23,080 --> 01:52:26,559 Speaker 1: deep stuff at all, but a lot of times he's 2305 01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:28,800 Speaker 1: going to give up the eight to ten yard out 2306 01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:31,360 Speaker 1: for a first down on third and seven. He's gonna 2307 01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:34,719 Speaker 1: do that. And you and I think this defensive staff 2308 01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:37,760 Speaker 1: believes in the in the defense as a whole enough 2309 01:52:37,840 --> 01:52:40,360 Speaker 1: to feel will give them that because we'll get a 2310 01:52:40,439 --> 01:52:45,280 Speaker 1: stop eventually. But I'm concerned that it's gone beyond that 2311 01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:49,200 Speaker 1: now and it's compromising the effectiveness of the defense as all. 2312 01:52:49,280 --> 01:52:52,040 Speaker 1: I'm not I gotta tell you, I'm not. I see it. 2313 01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:54,000 Speaker 1: I see him getting beaten. Certainly you'd like to see 2314 01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:57,160 Speaker 1: the guy play better than Levi has. Still there's still 2315 01:52:57,200 --> 01:52:59,200 Speaker 1: third in the league in points per game. They give 2316 01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:03,360 Speaker 1: up nineteen this week. Um, they're really good. We have 2317 01:53:03,479 --> 01:53:06,000 Speaker 1: people calling in wanting to move Tremaine Edmonds to outside line. 2318 01:53:06,040 --> 01:53:10,400 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, they're playing good, really good defense. And 2319 01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:11,760 Speaker 1: he says, I don't think they're in the lead defense. 2320 01:53:11,800 --> 01:53:14,960 Speaker 1: They're an elite defense. They're top three defense and scoring yards, 2321 01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:16,640 Speaker 1: all of that. They're as lead as you're gonna get 2322 01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:19,000 Speaker 1: in this seat. And I'm not saying from years past 2323 01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:22,000 Speaker 1: or years four, but this season they're elite and they're 2324 01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:23,880 Speaker 1: playing like it every week. And the problem is their 2325 01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:26,280 Speaker 1: margin for error is this vig that's right, because the 2326 01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:28,600 Speaker 1: offense can't score points. Yeah, that's right. And that's the 2327 01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:34,519 Speaker 1: biggest two missfield goals kill you. Yeah, that's that's we 2328 01:53:34,560 --> 01:53:36,040 Speaker 1: just talked about at the top of the show. The 2329 01:53:36,080 --> 01:53:37,720 Speaker 1: margin of error for this team is not there, and 2330 01:53:37,720 --> 01:53:40,920 Speaker 1: they couldn't cover it this yesterday. That's basically what this is. 2331 01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:43,000 Speaker 1: That's a tough way to play every week. I was kidding, 2332 01:53:43,080 --> 01:53:45,040 Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. That's a tough way 2333 01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:48,640 Speaker 1: to play. But Brownie, you gotta put your arms around it. 2334 01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:51,000 Speaker 1: This is you're gonna win most of those though. I 2335 01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:53,400 Speaker 1: guess you're gonna win six twice as many as you lose. 2336 01:53:53,720 --> 01:53:56,160 Speaker 1: So far. Where are we gonna come out after sixteen 2337 01:53:56,439 --> 01:54:00,439 Speaker 1: playing that way? We're gonna come out in the playoffs. Okay, listen, 2338 01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:04,080 Speaker 1: here's the thing too. This offense is better than it 2339 01:54:04,160 --> 01:54:07,080 Speaker 1: used to be. And because for one thing other and 2340 01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:09,320 Speaker 1: you can say it's frustrating one of these it's frustrating 2341 01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:11,920 Speaker 1: is because you know it is and sometimes we don't 2342 01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:15,559 Speaker 1: see it right. That's the frustrating part about this offense. 2343 01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:18,280 Speaker 1: Some of that missed execution that we're talking about, it's 2344 01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:20,320 Speaker 1: in there somewhere and you know you can find that's 2345 01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:23,040 Speaker 1: the frustrating part about this offense. And it's played out 2346 01:54:23,080 --> 01:54:29,720 Speaker 1: on the scoreboard. But that's why this team it's tough 2347 01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:32,640 Speaker 1: to beat. But we're more than halfway through the season, 2348 01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:35,640 Speaker 1: and I think we've seen new offensive schemes in here 2349 01:54:35,680 --> 01:54:38,520 Speaker 1: come and go all the time, and I think we've 2350 01:54:38,560 --> 01:54:41,080 Speaker 1: seen it at least hit some kind of a groove 2351 01:54:41,920 --> 01:54:44,640 Speaker 1: by the middle of the season. And Murphy can correct 2352 01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:46,560 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong on this on the history of this, 2353 01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:49,520 Speaker 1: but you know, yes, nine new starters, it was going 2354 01:54:49,560 --> 01:54:51,880 Speaker 1: to take a time to pull all that together. So 2355 01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm I was totally on board with this thing making 2356 01:54:54,360 --> 01:54:57,160 Speaker 1: incremental progress as we go here, But we're going into 2357 01:54:57,200 --> 01:55:02,440 Speaker 1: week eleven now game eleven or ten, game ten, week eleven, 2358 01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:06,240 Speaker 1: and I don't know that. I mean, have we seen 2359 01:55:06,440 --> 01:55:10,320 Speaker 1: enough progress to believe that it's going to get where 2360 01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:12,760 Speaker 1: it needs to be when the importance games come at 2361 01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:14,640 Speaker 1: the end of December. Maybe not see and I talked 2362 01:55:14,640 --> 01:55:17,040 Speaker 1: about this this morning. Maybe not this year, Chris, Maybe 2363 01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:19,040 Speaker 1: not this year. Maybe they have to continue to play 2364 01:55:19,360 --> 01:55:21,280 Speaker 1: lights up defense and take what they can get on 2365 01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:23,920 Speaker 1: offense and get there ten maybe eleven. And here the 2366 01:55:23,960 --> 01:55:27,040 Speaker 1: interesting thing about it is, though next year's teams next year, 2367 01:55:27,080 --> 01:55:29,200 Speaker 1: there's no guarantee that this team's gonna look anything like 2368 01:55:29,280 --> 01:55:31,320 Speaker 1: this one. This team, and let's not forget you're playing 2369 01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:37,800 Speaker 1: the AFC West and NFC West year. Yeah, this I'm 2370 01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:40,760 Speaker 1: just I'm just letting you know what's out there. I'm 2371 01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:44,360 Speaker 1: here's the thing too, And this offense, this I don't 2372 01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:46,800 Speaker 1: know about getting in the offensive groove. I do get 2373 01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:50,760 Speaker 1: some of it. But this is an offense that was 2374 01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:55,520 Speaker 1: was being built theoretically anyway in the preseason to be 2375 01:55:55,560 --> 01:55:59,640 Speaker 1: able to change its stripes during the season. You wanted 2376 01:55:59,640 --> 01:56:01,760 Speaker 1: your core back to be able to take a short completion. 2377 01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:03,400 Speaker 1: You really want to be used the tight ends. You 2378 01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:05,200 Speaker 1: want to go heavy and run with Frank Gore. You 2379 01:56:05,200 --> 01:56:08,600 Speaker 1: want to be able to do that, zone stretches, short passed. 2380 01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:13,160 Speaker 1: So the thing about it is, I think a little 2381 01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:15,600 Speaker 1: bit of it is the fact that they do try 2382 01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:19,360 Speaker 1: and change a little bit too. That gets creative, and 2383 01:56:19,400 --> 01:56:22,560 Speaker 1: therefore their execution isn't what it should could be, or 2384 01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:24,320 Speaker 1: should be, or what they want it to be because 2385 01:56:24,760 --> 01:56:26,840 Speaker 1: they do change their stripes a little bit every week. 2386 01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:30,640 Speaker 1: So do you think that coach tables doing that because 2387 01:56:32,480 --> 01:56:35,120 Speaker 1: the talent level still isn't where it needs to be 2388 01:56:35,200 --> 01:56:37,680 Speaker 1: to just win on its own merit that he needs 2389 01:56:37,720 --> 01:56:40,560 Speaker 1: to do all that window dressing and personnel grouping and 2390 01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:44,400 Speaker 1: lineup changes. And yeah, I believe that you do. I 2391 01:56:44,440 --> 01:56:46,120 Speaker 1: think I don't think the talent is where it needs 2392 01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:48,440 Speaker 1: to be offensive line talent. I think, you know, to 2393 01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:49,840 Speaker 1: be honest, I think that they're going to be in 2394 01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:51,400 Speaker 1: the market for a running back next year, right as 2395 01:56:51,400 --> 01:56:53,000 Speaker 1: long as where you're going to talk about next year, 2396 01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:56,160 Speaker 1: and you have a need for another target in the 2397 01:56:56,160 --> 01:56:58,720 Speaker 1: passing game, whether it's tight end or receiver, they don't 2398 01:56:58,720 --> 01:57:01,160 Speaker 1: have what they need. I don't. I don't agree with 2399 01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:05,120 Speaker 1: any of that. Okay, on his face, fight because I've 2400 01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:09,480 Speaker 1: seen this team play in nine games, and the three 2401 01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:12,600 Speaker 1: games with the exception of the Philly game, it should 2402 01:57:12,600 --> 01:57:14,800 Speaker 1: have won eight of them. Could have won eight of 2403 01:57:14,840 --> 01:57:16,440 Speaker 1: them with the talent they got on the field now. 2404 01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:20,720 Speaker 1: And the thing that killed him wasn't talent, it was execution. 2405 01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:25,960 Speaker 1: So you think it's an execution issue, you believe the 2406 01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:28,080 Speaker 1: teams still building and it may not get to where 2407 01:57:28,080 --> 01:57:30,520 Speaker 1: everybody thinks it should go here in twenty nineteen by 2408 01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:32,200 Speaker 1: the end of the year. Yeah, because we're, as you 2409 01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:34,280 Speaker 1: pointed out more than halfway through the season, Yeah, we are. 2410 01:57:34,400 --> 01:57:36,760 Speaker 1: I would love to point to something offensively and say, 2411 01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:39,560 Speaker 1: all right, I see that's going to get better today. 2412 01:57:39,720 --> 01:57:42,400 Speaker 1: I don't see it. I think Josh will get better, 2413 01:57:42,440 --> 01:57:44,600 Speaker 1: but I've thought that for the first half season, and well, 2414 01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:46,120 Speaker 1: he is better. And that's the thing is hard to 2415 01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:49,440 Speaker 1: stand better now was on September yesterday. Yesterday was not 2416 01:57:49,480 --> 01:57:53,440 Speaker 1: a good day. But I still think he's better September eight. 2417 01:57:53,520 --> 01:57:55,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know he's better than he was a 2418 01:57:55,040 --> 01:57:58,640 Speaker 1: year ago. Oh yeah, And I still think I think so. Yeah, 2419 01:57:58,680 --> 01:58:01,440 Speaker 1: I think so because seeing this might be a foolhardy 2420 01:58:01,440 --> 01:58:04,280 Speaker 1: thought too, but I kind of always thought about building 2421 01:58:04,280 --> 01:58:10,440 Speaker 1: a quarterback's game by not putting everything on his plate, 2422 01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:12,800 Speaker 1: like and I don't want to go back to other 2423 01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:14,640 Speaker 1: teams and other models. Did you look at what Ben 2424 01:58:14,680 --> 01:58:18,400 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger did. They had a top three defense and seventeen 2425 01:58:18,440 --> 01:58:20,760 Speaker 1: times three seventeen to twenty times a game, and they 2426 01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:22,480 Speaker 1: ran the heck out of the football down there was 2427 01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:24,040 Speaker 1: eight in the box, nine in the box or whatever 2428 01:58:24,080 --> 01:58:27,360 Speaker 1: the hell, had a dominant offensive line. Jerome bettis, Yeah, okay, 2429 01:58:27,440 --> 01:58:30,360 Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna end of defense right with the 2430 01:58:30,400 --> 01:58:32,720 Speaker 1: Bills have that defense. Yeah, that's true. I mean the 2431 01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:35,040 Speaker 1: Bills have that defense. So I guess I kind of 2432 01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:37,920 Speaker 1: envisioned I know that, but I kind of and I'm 2433 01:58:37,960 --> 01:58:39,720 Speaker 1: not saying twenty times a game, but I guess I 2434 01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:44,520 Speaker 1: envisioned more support for Josh where the whole thing wasn't 2435 01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:46,760 Speaker 1: on his plate, because I was watching that game yesterday 2436 01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:50,960 Speaker 1: thinking it's all on him, And Okay, if you want 2437 01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:53,480 Speaker 1: to do that, you have to believe that he's gonna 2438 01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:56,680 Speaker 1: make the majority of good decisions. And I think early 2439 01:58:56,760 --> 01:59:00,840 Speaker 1: in this season we were given evidence that maybe not 2440 01:59:00,960 --> 01:59:04,160 Speaker 1: yet because of all the turnovers that we were witnessing. So, 2441 01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:07,160 Speaker 1: as Steve said, they dialed it back in. Okay, well, 2442 01:59:07,200 --> 01:59:09,560 Speaker 1: you're reeling that back in and maybe taking some of 2443 01:59:09,600 --> 01:59:12,840 Speaker 1: his gunslinger mentality away. Now who's making the plays? Then 2444 01:59:12,920 --> 01:59:14,840 Speaker 1: if you're gonna dial that back, you've got to find 2445 01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:18,400 Speaker 1: those plays somewhere else. And I thought Devin Singletary was 2446 01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:22,400 Speaker 1: the best option for that going forward, and that hasn't happened. 2447 01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:25,440 Speaker 1: And that's why that's why I'm scratching my head. I'm 2448 01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:28,240 Speaker 1: not saying it's right, wrong or indifferent. If you're gonna 2449 01:59:28,280 --> 01:59:30,600 Speaker 1: dial him back and some of the unique things that 2450 01:59:30,640 --> 01:59:33,000 Speaker 1: he can do, you better find it somewhere else in 2451 01:59:33,040 --> 01:59:35,480 Speaker 1: the offense. Well, here's the thing, and I agree with 2452 01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:37,640 Speaker 1: all of what you just said, but I think it 2453 01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:40,960 Speaker 1: points to the obvious. They're not playing in a vacuum. 2454 01:59:41,760 --> 01:59:45,280 Speaker 1: The Browns see exactly what the Bills coaches see, The 2455 01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:49,560 Speaker 1: Washington Redskins see it, the Titans see at the Patriot Sea, 2456 01:59:49,560 --> 01:59:51,600 Speaker 1: at the Bengals see it. Everybody on the schedule is 2457 01:59:51,600 --> 01:59:53,680 Speaker 1: seeing what Josh Cannon can do. And they're getting better 2458 01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:56,280 Speaker 1: and better at taking away every other option and forcing 2459 01:59:56,360 --> 01:59:59,120 Speaker 1: Jos to do what he has shown that he cannot 2460 01:59:59,120 --> 02:00:02,760 Speaker 1: do yet. And that's but that's why welcome to the NFL, right, 2461 02:00:02,840 --> 02:00:05,040 Speaker 1: But that's why it's frustrating for Bills fans because I 2462 02:00:05,080 --> 02:00:07,840 Speaker 1: think they look at Lamar Jackson turning this league on 2463 02:00:07,880 --> 02:00:10,480 Speaker 1: its head and saying, well, heck he was. He came 2464 02:00:10,520 --> 02:00:12,520 Speaker 1: in the same year. He's probably played just as much, 2465 02:00:12,560 --> 02:00:14,800 Speaker 1: if not less than Josh. I think he's got sixteen 2466 02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:19,240 Speaker 1: starts now and he's setting the world on fire. And 2467 02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:22,400 Speaker 1: then they, you know, they look at Baker Mayfield. Now, Granted, 2468 02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:25,040 Speaker 1: Baker's got weapons around him that are elite, and so 2469 02:00:25,080 --> 02:00:27,600 Speaker 1: you would expect him to push his game forward the 2470 02:00:27,600 --> 02:00:30,320 Speaker 1: rest of the way, especially with Cleveland schedule getting easier. 2471 02:00:30,760 --> 02:00:32,800 Speaker 1: And then Sam Darnold's got a mess that he's trying 2472 02:00:32,800 --> 02:00:34,560 Speaker 1: to make the best of in New York. But I 2473 02:00:34,600 --> 02:00:37,280 Speaker 1: think there are these constant comparisons out there, And then 2474 02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:40,080 Speaker 1: I think Bills fans are left saying, why are we 2475 02:00:40,120 --> 02:00:42,640 Speaker 1: advancing at the same rate? Why are we not pushing 2476 02:00:42,680 --> 02:00:45,200 Speaker 1: this forward? And I mean, I think at least with 2477 02:00:45,240 --> 02:00:47,880 Speaker 1: the Baltimore example, you can make the argument they had 2478 02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:50,480 Speaker 1: a lot of changes too, I mean, new running back, 2479 02:00:50,760 --> 02:00:55,360 Speaker 1: new linemen. You know, six wins, three losses. There's progress. 2480 02:00:55,400 --> 02:00:58,720 Speaker 1: That's progress. There is unquestionably progress. I'm not denying that 2481 02:00:58,760 --> 02:01:01,040 Speaker 1: for a second. And again, I know I'm going to 2482 02:01:01,120 --> 02:01:03,920 Speaker 1: sound like an apologist here. Nine new pieces, an eleven 2483 02:01:03,920 --> 02:01:06,400 Speaker 1: man unit is a lot to fit together. I just 2484 02:01:06,480 --> 02:01:09,680 Speaker 1: think people feel at this point in the game, mid season, 2485 02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:12,640 Speaker 1: second half of the season, there might be a little 2486 02:01:12,640 --> 02:01:15,320 Speaker 1: bit more consistency with the execution. One more question for 2487 02:01:15,320 --> 02:01:16,760 Speaker 1: you before we let you go. Chris Brown is with 2488 02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:19,520 Speaker 1: US Bills Insider Buffalo Bills dot Com. Two part question. 2489 02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:21,920 Speaker 1: We can tell it from the calls, We can tell 2490 02:01:21,920 --> 02:01:24,560 Speaker 1: it from three of us here. Why does that Cleveland 2491 02:01:24,640 --> 02:01:28,440 Speaker 1: loss hurt so much? A? And B? Where does this 2492 02:01:28,520 --> 02:01:30,320 Speaker 1: take us? Where do we go from here? I think 2493 02:01:30,360 --> 02:01:33,200 Speaker 1: it a big global picture question. I think it hurts 2494 02:01:33,240 --> 02:01:37,600 Speaker 1: because it was a winnable game, yeah there for the taking, 2495 02:01:37,680 --> 02:01:40,240 Speaker 1: and you kind of shot yourself in the foot and 2496 02:01:40,400 --> 02:01:43,000 Speaker 1: lost because of it. And that's not the first time 2497 02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:44,680 Speaker 1: that that's happened this year. It probably will be the 2498 02:01:44,720 --> 02:01:47,160 Speaker 1: last due to some of the shortcomings that the team has. 2499 02:01:48,440 --> 02:01:53,440 Speaker 1: The small market, yes and right, and they're exacerbated when 2500 02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:56,000 Speaker 1: you're playing on the razor's edge every week with an 2501 02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:59,240 Speaker 1: offense that can't score enough points. So if you're going 2502 02:01:59,320 --> 02:02:03,240 Speaker 1: to continue to hover around seventeen to twenty points a 2503 02:02:03,280 --> 02:02:06,680 Speaker 1: game every week, you're putting an enormous amount of pressure 2504 02:02:06,720 --> 02:02:10,200 Speaker 1: on your defense and you need some other phase or 2505 02:02:10,280 --> 02:02:12,880 Speaker 1: aspect of your game to come through for you in 2506 02:02:12,960 --> 02:02:17,160 Speaker 1: a league where it doesn't really happen all that often, 2507 02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:21,920 Speaker 1: and so that's a fine line to walk every single week. 2508 02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:25,640 Speaker 1: The fact that they have six wins is almost remarkable, 2509 02:02:25,680 --> 02:02:27,880 Speaker 1: And when you think about it, I keep saying it, 2510 02:02:28,440 --> 02:02:30,760 Speaker 1: Bill's fans and the don't tell us to embrace it. 2511 02:02:32,560 --> 02:02:34,640 Speaker 1: That's where you're gonna be the whole year. These games 2512 02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:36,560 Speaker 1: are all going to be. You don't see the offense 2513 02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:39,600 Speaker 1: between now and the end of the season. Moving forward 2514 02:02:39,640 --> 02:02:43,680 Speaker 1: to a point where this team can rely on that 2515 02:02:43,720 --> 02:02:46,360 Speaker 1: side of the ball even a little bit more the 2516 02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:48,400 Speaker 1: rest of the oh. I think it can get there, 2517 02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:51,240 Speaker 1: no question. That's why. That's why this is so hopeful. 2518 02:02:51,280 --> 02:02:55,000 Speaker 1: That's why because you see instances and flashes of it, 2519 02:02:56,080 --> 02:02:58,960 Speaker 1: but just not enough. And I think you've one step 2520 02:02:59,560 --> 02:03:01,880 Speaker 1: that you seen in this season, this last month and 2521 02:03:01,880 --> 02:03:03,720 Speaker 1: a half is the fact that they've cut the bottom out. 2522 02:03:04,240 --> 02:03:07,000 Speaker 1: The roller coaster that we were riding now doesn't have 2523 02:03:07,040 --> 02:03:09,880 Speaker 1: the bad interception, right, you know, it doesn't have the 2524 02:03:10,200 --> 02:03:12,680 Speaker 1: you know thing. The next thing is, and I'll say 2525 02:03:12,680 --> 02:03:15,080 Speaker 1: this too, I don't want Josh running with the football 2526 02:03:16,200 --> 02:03:19,040 Speaker 1: maybe at all. Every time he does he's coughing it up. 2527 02:03:19,080 --> 02:03:21,000 Speaker 1: He did it again yesterday and it almost cost him 2528 02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:23,640 Speaker 1: and Feliciano bailed him out. He's done it every single 2529 02:03:24,960 --> 02:03:26,760 Speaker 1: that was that made have been the play of the game. 2530 02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:31,080 Speaker 1: I've never seen a smoother scoop and well scoop and 2531 02:03:31,160 --> 02:03:33,920 Speaker 1: roll than that he did. But anyway, you know, that's 2532 02:03:33,920 --> 02:03:38,520 Speaker 1: where you're at it. It's in there, and that's why 2533 02:03:38,520 --> 02:03:40,840 Speaker 1: it's so frustrating. You've seen this off. He's seen guys 2534 02:03:40,880 --> 02:03:43,480 Speaker 1: get open. You've seen Josh deliver the ball last year 2535 02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:46,240 Speaker 1: he you know, he threw the long ball. Yeah, but 2536 02:03:46,280 --> 02:03:48,840 Speaker 1: you know you got to see it consistent. We haven't. 2537 02:03:48,880 --> 02:03:52,800 Speaker 1: We've seen improvements in certain areas, but not everything. McDermot 2538 02:03:52,880 --> 02:03:54,840 Speaker 1: at four. You'll cover that on the website and the 2539 02:03:54,920 --> 02:03:57,520 Speaker 1: various social media platforms. What's coming up on Buffalo bills 2540 02:03:57,520 --> 02:04:00,360 Speaker 1: dot com if you got noteworthy numbers, the Stag column 2541 02:04:00,440 --> 02:04:02,640 Speaker 1: that comes out every Tuesday, where we're kind of dive 2542 02:04:02,720 --> 02:04:05,240 Speaker 1: into some of the figures. I even mentioned one of them, 2543 02:04:05,280 --> 02:04:11,120 Speaker 1: will be discussing it's there's some interesting stuff, as coach says, 2544 02:04:11,160 --> 02:04:14,960 Speaker 1: baked in there that, um, you know, we can kind 2545 02:04:14,960 --> 02:04:19,520 Speaker 1: of decipher or dissect seven different ways. You know, what 2546 02:04:19,560 --> 02:04:22,320 Speaker 1: does it mean. I don't know. Some of the numbers 2547 02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:25,880 Speaker 1: might be a little concerning other numbers. You say, well, 2548 02:04:25,920 --> 02:04:27,919 Speaker 1: you know that kind of happens in the league sometimes. 2549 02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:30,040 Speaker 1: But we kind of dive into all of them. Just 2550 02:04:30,120 --> 02:04:32,520 Speaker 1: things that we find that we find and come across 2551 02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:35,280 Speaker 1: or dig up that we think Bills fans would find 2552 02:04:35,320 --> 02:04:37,320 Speaker 1: interesting that may not sit on the front page of 2553 02:04:37,640 --> 02:04:40,360 Speaker 1: you know, statistical columns or releases and stuff. We try 2554 02:04:40,360 --> 02:04:42,520 Speaker 1: to dig a little bit deeper and find something that 2555 02:04:42,600 --> 02:04:45,680 Speaker 1: might tell us what's going on. Chris, are you good now? 2556 02:04:45,760 --> 02:04:48,040 Speaker 1: You came in on fire. I'm okay. I'm a little 2557 02:04:48,040 --> 02:04:51,000 Speaker 1: bit better now. Yeah. We've had callers on that are 2558 02:04:51,040 --> 02:04:52,680 Speaker 1: all venting. You know, it's kind of funny because the 2559 02:04:52,680 --> 02:04:54,720 Speaker 1: players after the game, we're saying this one hurts and 2560 02:04:54,800 --> 02:04:57,240 Speaker 1: that and it hurt. I don't know why, but it 2561 02:04:57,320 --> 02:05:00,640 Speaker 1: annoyed the hell out of me yesterday. This one's gonna 2562 02:05:00,680 --> 02:05:02,520 Speaker 1: leave a mark, Henny clearly. Yeah, I heard you say 2563 02:05:02,560 --> 02:05:04,680 Speaker 1: that on the broadcast. I don't know why. I don't 2564 02:05:04,720 --> 02:05:06,560 Speaker 1: know why it was sticking with me, but I was 2565 02:05:06,600 --> 02:05:08,360 Speaker 1: in a lousy mood after the game on the way home. 2566 02:05:08,400 --> 02:05:09,960 Speaker 1: Brought it in here and now it's gone. That's good. 2567 02:05:10,040 --> 02:05:12,600 Speaker 1: That's what you get rid of it. Venting Chris Brown 2568 02:05:12,640 --> 02:05:14,960 Speaker 1: Bills inside of Uncto bills dot Com.

Nothing comes closed. Welcome 2572 02:05:36,840 --> 02:05:39,160 Speaker 1: back One Bill's Live. John Murphy, Steve Tasker. We're in 2573 02:05:39,200 --> 02:05:42,080 Speaker 1: the home stretch here and we're talking about Sunday's loss 2574 02:05:42,080 --> 02:05:44,640 Speaker 1: to the Browns. What your biggest takeaway basically an opportunity 2575 02:05:44,640 --> 02:05:46,800 Speaker 1: for you to tell us what you thought. Right, That's 2576 02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:49,160 Speaker 1: why we're here, Bill and Buffalo. Go ahead, Bill, welcome 2577 02:05:49,160 --> 02:05:51,919 Speaker 1: to the show. You're on the air. Hi, good afternoon. 2578 02:05:51,960 --> 02:05:56,600 Speaker 1: Follows my biggest take out of the based on what 2579 02:05:56,760 --> 02:06:00,640 Speaker 1: I heard Steep saying. And you know, would have taken 2580 02:06:00,640 --> 02:06:06,360 Speaker 1: a heroic kick fifteen three yard field goal to tie 2581 02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:10,000 Speaker 1: the game up. And I'm curious about what are the 2582 02:06:10,080 --> 02:06:14,680 Speaker 1: analytics of the Bills just going for first down on 2583 02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:18,280 Speaker 1: fourth down play trying to get closer to make a 2584 02:06:18,280 --> 02:06:22,240 Speaker 1: field goal that's more likely to be made. Yeah, it's 2585 02:06:22,240 --> 02:06:24,160 Speaker 1: a big it's a real question. And I don't know 2586 02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:27,280 Speaker 1: the answer to the analytical question, whether it's a higher percentage. 2587 02:06:27,280 --> 02:06:29,760 Speaker 1: I know that the Bills had gone for it twice 2588 02:06:29,800 --> 02:06:32,400 Speaker 1: on fourth down during the game and not gotten either 2589 02:06:32,440 --> 02:06:36,600 Speaker 1: one of them. Maybe that hampers their willingness to go 2590 02:06:36,720 --> 02:06:39,040 Speaker 1: for it a third time and try and get it. Um, 2591 02:06:39,200 --> 02:06:41,720 Speaker 1: it was fourth and three, right, it would have been 2592 02:06:41,720 --> 02:06:43,480 Speaker 1: fourth worth and four. It would have been fourth and 2593 02:06:43,560 --> 02:06:48,040 Speaker 1: four Cleveland thirty five. And and I agree with you 2594 02:06:48,080 --> 02:06:50,040 Speaker 1: though Bill, I said it was it would have been 2595 02:06:50,040 --> 02:06:51,920 Speaker 1: a heroic kick off. How you could have made it 2596 02:06:52,120 --> 02:06:57,040 Speaker 1: fifty three yards in those conditions on off natural turf. Yeah, 2597 02:06:57,040 --> 02:06:59,600 Speaker 1: it was it was away, right, Yeah, you can learn 2598 02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:02,160 Speaker 1: the other way. Yeah. The thing is if you fail 2599 02:07:02,200 --> 02:07:04,600 Speaker 1: on that fourth down, game over, you lose. You know 2600 02:07:04,640 --> 02:07:07,360 Speaker 1: what I mean? Right? And so the kick you got 2601 02:07:07,400 --> 02:07:08,880 Speaker 1: a chance. You get to the kick, you got a 2602 02:07:08,960 --> 02:07:12,200 Speaker 1: chance to tie and then get to overtime. Is it conservative? Yeah? 2603 02:07:12,360 --> 02:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Is it ultra hyper conservative? Maybe I can see why 2604 02:07:15,280 --> 02:07:17,720 Speaker 1: people would would ask that question, but the people want 2605 02:07:17,760 --> 02:07:19,640 Speaker 1: to But I think if you're if you're getting down 2606 02:07:19,680 --> 02:07:21,880 Speaker 1: to that fourth down, I think then you kick the 2607 02:07:21,880 --> 02:07:23,440 Speaker 1: field goal. I think if you want to get concerned, 2608 02:07:23,640 --> 02:07:26,720 Speaker 1: it's about the plays leading up to that fourth down 2609 02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:30,440 Speaker 1: up to the So it's the first, second, and third 2610 02:07:30,480 --> 02:07:33,440 Speaker 1: down plays that you really got to decipher about. Why 2611 02:07:33,480 --> 02:07:35,600 Speaker 1: couldn't they get the first down on those three plays? 2612 02:07:35,600 --> 02:07:38,200 Speaker 1: And they got They got six yards on the first 2613 02:07:38,240 --> 02:07:39,840 Speaker 1: two plays. You need to get more than that. You 2614 02:07:39,880 --> 02:07:42,400 Speaker 1: need to get it to a third and one and 2615 02:07:42,480 --> 02:07:44,040 Speaker 1: the third down play. And that was what I mean. 2616 02:07:44,040 --> 02:07:47,440 Speaker 1: I didn't catch that. Brownie talked about his conversation with 2617 02:07:47,680 --> 02:07:50,960 Speaker 1: John Brown about the third and four when Josh Allen 2618 02:07:51,080 --> 02:07:54,320 Speaker 1: signaled a hot read. Pat on the the shin to 2619 02:07:54,480 --> 02:07:56,920 Speaker 1: signal to John Brown off his right that you got 2620 02:07:56,920 --> 02:07:59,240 Speaker 1: to run a I'm gonna throw you a back shoulder pass, 2621 02:07:59,280 --> 02:08:01,360 Speaker 1: and John Brown didn't get it or didn't adjust to it. 2622 02:08:01,560 --> 02:08:03,400 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I didn't see that quote yesterday. 2623 02:08:03,720 --> 02:08:05,800 Speaker 1: I didn't either. But that's that's important. It goes to 2624 02:08:05,880 --> 02:08:09,520 Speaker 1: I've said it, you know throughout it's this team doesn't 2625 02:08:09,560 --> 02:08:12,720 Speaker 1: have talent problems. They got execution problems. And that's an 2626 02:08:12,760 --> 02:08:14,840 Speaker 1: example of it in a crucial moment when they just 2627 02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:17,200 Speaker 1: didn't execute. They didn't get the signal, they didn't make 2628 02:08:17,200 --> 02:08:19,440 Speaker 1: the throw, they didn't make the catch because they weren't 2629 02:08:19,480 --> 02:08:23,840 Speaker 1: on the same page. And that's I think that's a 2630 02:08:23,880 --> 02:08:27,520 Speaker 1: problem when you when when that kind of stuff happens. 2631 02:08:27,520 --> 02:08:29,120 Speaker 1: And I know those guys when you're in film, those 2632 02:08:29,120 --> 02:08:31,320 Speaker 1: guys are going to hold themselves accountable and take themselves 2633 02:08:31,360 --> 02:08:33,440 Speaker 1: a task for not being able to execute a play 2634 02:08:33,480 --> 02:08:37,760 Speaker 1: that should have, by design, should have worked pretty pretty 2635 02:08:37,760 --> 02:08:39,800 Speaker 1: well as much as the pain as we get out 2636 02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:42,080 Speaker 1: here with us three Brownie a minute ago and with 2637 02:08:42,160 --> 02:08:43,800 Speaker 1: the callers, what do you think it's like in the 2638 02:08:43,800 --> 02:08:47,640 Speaker 1: meeting room today looking at that video? Oh, it's really frustrating, frustrating. 2639 02:08:47,720 --> 02:08:50,520 Speaker 1: Every play you go in there and say, look at 2640 02:08:50,560 --> 02:08:52,600 Speaker 1: that man. It's like and you're talking, and I've been 2641 02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:54,000 Speaker 1: through a stretch where you lose a couple in a 2642 02:08:54,080 --> 02:08:56,720 Speaker 1: row two and you're like every week it's like an 2643 02:08:56,720 --> 02:09:01,160 Speaker 1: inch here, this step, here, this foot here, this arm placement, 2644 02:09:01,320 --> 02:09:04,480 Speaker 1: hand placement here, this our coach is yelling at him. 2645 02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:06,680 Speaker 1: I doubt that it's a little more it's a little 2646 02:09:06,680 --> 02:09:10,480 Speaker 1: more high level than than just trying to emote. Kind 2647 02:09:10,480 --> 02:09:13,560 Speaker 1: of no, not even they're yelling at these guys, but 2648 02:09:13,600 --> 02:09:16,000 Speaker 1: they'll they'll use some techniques to try and get him motivated, 2649 02:09:16,080 --> 02:09:18,120 Speaker 1: no question about it. He'll he'll show him some stuff 2650 02:09:18,160 --> 02:09:19,960 Speaker 1: on the video. He'll make a speech to him, say listen, 2651 02:09:19,960 --> 02:09:21,760 Speaker 1: you better do better. You gotta do this, you gotta 2652 02:09:21,800 --> 02:09:25,680 Speaker 1: do abc. He'll do some he'll try and inspire him 2653 02:09:25,720 --> 02:09:30,840 Speaker 1: to prepare. And that's the crux of the issue. If 2654 02:09:30,840 --> 02:09:32,920 Speaker 1: you want to execute better, you got to have the 2655 02:09:32,960 --> 02:09:35,760 Speaker 1: desire to prepare better. And that's what Sean, that's why 2656 02:09:35,800 --> 02:09:41,560 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott hammers that message humble and hungry constantly to 2657 02:09:41,640 --> 02:09:44,600 Speaker 1: these guys. You gotta be willing to do the nitty 2658 02:09:44,640 --> 02:09:48,720 Speaker 1: gritty dirty grunt stuff Monday through Saturday. So then in 2659 02:09:48,760 --> 02:09:51,920 Speaker 1: those crucial situations, you do the exact right thing. Call 2660 02:09:52,040 --> 02:09:56,040 Speaker 1: here from Frank and Cheektowaga. Hello, Frank, welcome, Oh guys, 2661 02:09:56,040 --> 02:09:59,160 Speaker 1: how are you doing great? Well? I called you guys 2662 02:09:59,200 --> 02:10:01,160 Speaker 1: earlier to year, and I I made the statement that 2663 02:10:01,240 --> 02:10:03,880 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is a rookie and I still feel that way. 2664 02:10:04,000 --> 02:10:06,760 Speaker 1: He didn't come from a big time program like Alabama, 2665 02:10:06,800 --> 02:10:11,160 Speaker 1: Clemson and LSU or Notre Dame or whatever. I mean, 2666 02:10:11,200 --> 02:10:13,960 Speaker 1: I don't think he in college he had the expertise 2667 02:10:14,080 --> 02:10:17,120 Speaker 1: teaching him the funnelmentals, how to read a defense and 2668 02:10:17,200 --> 02:10:19,520 Speaker 1: so on. And this is a learning process. Is it 2669 02:10:19,600 --> 02:10:22,000 Speaker 1: frustrating to watch some play? Of course it is. I 2670 02:10:22,040 --> 02:10:25,000 Speaker 1: mean you bleed red, white and blue every time they played. 2671 02:10:25,240 --> 02:10:28,120 Speaker 1: But these guys to get on there, it's like, oh, 2672 02:10:28,280 --> 02:10:30,920 Speaker 1: fire the OC and let's do this and let's do that. Hey, 2673 02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:33,840 Speaker 1: It's it's a process. It's a real process. And this 2674 02:10:33,960 --> 02:10:36,760 Speaker 1: kid takes three years. I mean that's when a quarterback 2675 02:10:36,760 --> 02:10:38,400 Speaker 1: came in the league years ago, it was a three 2676 02:10:38,440 --> 02:10:41,200 Speaker 1: year process. Before you say this guy's a bona fide 2677 02:10:41,320 --> 02:10:44,960 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback, we don't have it yet. And yesterday's paper, 2678 02:10:44,960 --> 02:10:51,680 Speaker 1: Bruce Sniff made the point about Allen and Edmonds when 2679 02:10:51,720 --> 02:10:53,800 Speaker 1: the game slows down to the point where they know 2680 02:10:53,920 --> 02:10:56,320 Speaker 1: exactly what's going to happen, when it's gonna happen, how 2681 02:10:56,320 --> 02:10:59,200 Speaker 1: it's going to happen. They have arrived in the NFL, 2682 02:10:59,360 --> 02:11:02,280 Speaker 1: and he said, there there yet. That's well, I'm gonna 2683 02:11:02,280 --> 02:11:05,440 Speaker 1: see what do you think that? Yeah, it's yeah, I'd 2684 02:11:05,480 --> 02:11:07,480 Speaker 1: like it's probably true. But here's the problem. And here's 2685 02:11:07,480 --> 02:11:11,000 Speaker 1: the thing that makes it more frustrating, Uh, Frank, Frank, 2686 02:11:11,760 --> 02:11:14,600 Speaker 1: because you see guys like Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson 2687 02:11:14,640 --> 02:11:17,160 Speaker 1: and Pat Mahomes and his first years to start all 2688 02:11:17,160 --> 02:11:19,280 Speaker 1: that was his second year last year. You see all 2689 02:11:19,320 --> 02:11:22,000 Speaker 1: these guys having success right out of the gate. And 2690 02:11:22,040 --> 02:11:24,120 Speaker 1: that's why it's frustrating to see here and see your guy, 2691 02:11:24,480 --> 02:11:26,760 Speaker 1: even though he's a different guy, came from a different place, 2692 02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:29,680 Speaker 1: is a different kind of quarterback. Um you see to 2693 02:11:29,680 --> 02:11:32,680 Speaker 1: see him struggle and you tend to look at the 2694 02:11:32,680 --> 02:11:35,600 Speaker 1: closest people to him and blame them while your quarterback's 2695 02:11:35,640 --> 02:11:37,800 Speaker 1: not playing like Pat Mahomes or your quarterbacks are not 2696 02:11:37,920 --> 02:11:40,720 Speaker 1: playing like Lamar Jackson, And I get it. That's frustrating, 2697 02:11:41,080 --> 02:11:44,800 Speaker 1: but I'm I'm in the camp right now of still 2698 02:11:44,840 --> 02:11:47,640 Speaker 1: believing in Josh Allen what he's gonna be and and 2699 02:11:47,680 --> 02:11:50,560 Speaker 1: I still believe what my eyes tell me and maybe 2700 02:11:50,640 --> 02:11:52,680 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of my my heart and my 2701 02:11:52,760 --> 02:11:55,080 Speaker 1: affiliation with the team, you know that the fact that 2702 02:11:55,160 --> 02:11:57,640 Speaker 1: you know it's always meant so much to me that 2703 02:11:57,720 --> 02:11:59,240 Speaker 1: I think he's got it under the hood and he's 2704 02:11:59,240 --> 02:12:01,440 Speaker 1: gonna get there, and I'm willing to hang in there 2705 02:12:01,480 --> 02:12:04,920 Speaker 1: with him. So that's kind of where I'm at. He's 2706 02:12:04,960 --> 02:12:07,760 Speaker 1: not a finished product yet, You're right, but I'm still 2707 02:12:07,760 --> 02:12:09,400 Speaker 1: in the camp that thinks he's gonna be one day 2708 02:12:09,440 --> 02:12:11,040 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be pretty good, and he's going to 2709 02:12:11,080 --> 02:12:12,760 Speaker 1: be the kind of quarterback that this team can win 2710 02:12:12,800 --> 02:12:15,720 Speaker 1: consistently with. So I'm with you, but it's hard to 2711 02:12:15,760 --> 02:12:18,120 Speaker 1: hang in there with him through this long process. We 2712 02:12:18,200 --> 02:12:21,320 Speaker 1: see and see other quarterbacks that are doing it really quick. 2713 02:12:21,360 --> 02:12:23,600 Speaker 1: It's hard today. Yeah, it's hard today, hard today, but 2714 02:12:23,720 --> 02:12:26,080 Speaker 1: there is tomorrow coming back in a moment. One Bill's 2715 02:12:26,080 --> 02:12:29,160 Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalidah Health Live from the Seneca Studio 2716 02:12:29,200 --> 02:12:45,280 Speaker 1: at One Bill's Drive. I'm Buffalo Bills Radio. So what 2717 02:12:45,320 --> 02:12:47,400 Speaker 1: have we learn from today's show. It is brought to 2718 02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:50,920 Speaker 1: you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of 2719 02:12:50,960 --> 02:12:53,320 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Eric Would joined us in the first 2720 02:12:53,600 --> 02:12:55,160 Speaker 1: or actually the second hour of the show, the one 2721 02:12:55,160 --> 02:12:57,720 Speaker 1: o'clock hour. We asked him vers overall thoughts on the 2722 02:12:57,720 --> 02:13:01,760 Speaker 1: Bills lost yesterday in Cleveland. Here's what he said. I 2723 02:13:01,840 --> 02:13:04,640 Speaker 1: think the Bills need to start faster, especially on offense 2724 02:13:04,720 --> 02:13:07,560 Speaker 1: moving forward. I don't know what.
