Speaker 2: of my shopping online now, Like I'm not a big

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: fan of fighting the masses in the stores this time

16
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: of year, but I was having some online issues. Could

17
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: not get this order processed. So I decided I had

18
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: to go old school and go to the actual store

19
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: this morning. And fortunately they opened right at nine. So

20
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: I just I got there at like eight fifty, and

21
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,919
Speaker 2: I'm expecting the worst, Like I'm expecting a sea of people.

22
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be you know what I mean, I'm gonna

23
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 2: be elbowing people trying to get to the and hope

24
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: they have what I need. There was nobody there. I

25
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 2: was the first person in. It was me and four

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: store clerks and I got my I was in it

27
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: out in five minutes.

28
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: There's a joke here about what kind of store did

29
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: you go to?

30
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: Bro Well, no, I just don't think. I think there

31
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: are a lot of people that are already off of

32
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: work now, yeah, in advance of the holiday.

33
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: Unlike that.

34
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: I was worried that all those people off of work

35
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: are like But apparently we don't have a lot of

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: procrastinators in Western New York because I was, I was

37
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: the only one. There were five cars in the lot

38
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: for a bunch of stores.

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: Like everybody's off work.

40
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: I was in a shopping plaza.

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: Everybody's off work except those of us who break rocks

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: with a hammer here in the media. Who okay, So

43
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: next question hammer it away here every day, never with

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: like NonStop.

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: So next question back breaking work. Next question, you're not

46
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: done now you have a big family. Your your family

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: is harder to traverse. Although from what I understand, you

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: guys do break it up. Nobody has a gift for everybody.

49
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: You get a designated person.

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: We have a plan.

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: So the next question is is this the latest you

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 2: have ever pushed it before Christmas?

53
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Is it even top ten?

54
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: What? So you are an eleventh hour shopping.

55
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: Particularly back when I was playing, it was a mad dash,

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: mad da throw money at it, and I'm going to

57
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: get whatever it takes to you know, make it look

58
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: like I put a ton of thought.

59
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: That's a little tight rope walking there.

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: It is, it is, but you know.

61
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: What is okay? So, now that I know you're an

62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 2: eleventh hour shopper, what is the furthest you have ever

63
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: pushed the deadline?

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: Like?

65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: How well? There's always how closed have you come? There's

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: always the it's coming, it's not here yet kind of thing.

67
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: You know, how close have you pushed a question? I

68
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: don't know that. I know there have been times when

69
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: I was like, you're sweating it, like late Christmas Eve,

70
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: not late Christmas eve, Christmas Eve.

71
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: I'm an early procrastinator, but I can't do that.

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: I did that, and that was and that was like

73
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: I remember that one in particular because I hadn't even

74
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: started right, I didn't even like had it.

75
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: I had given an.

76
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: Idea, I got it, you know, I'm busy, I'm you know,

77
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: I'll get at it. And then all of a sudden,

78
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna go out and do

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: that and and I threw some money at it and

80
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: got it, and it was like, I've been thinking about

81
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: this a lot, honey, I won't tell you who was for.

82
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: So you did an eleven sold I think in a

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: long time about this.

84
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: Right, I waited, and you know my bride was the

85
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: beneficiary of that totally.

86
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, so you're I'm gonna I'm gonna throw another

87
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 2: thing at you. So my one of my best friends

88
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: growing up, his dad purposely would wait until Christmas Eve

89
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: because he liked the pressure of shopping on Christmas Eve,

90
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: hoping he's able to get everything he wants to get

91
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: for his family, friends. Whatever. He purposely waited until for

92
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: me is he liked the pressure for me.

93
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm I think about it in this day and at

94
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: this point in history now for years now, I've I've

95
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: enjoyed thinking about what it's gonna be. Yeah, and if

96
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: I set on something, I'll get it early. And particularly

97
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: now with the online stuff, I mean, you get.

98
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: It in today and it's easier to do it.

99
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: Back in the day because I couldn't didn't have the creativity,

100
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: didn't it you know, didn't think enough about it. Now,

101
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: Plus I know who specifically I'm going to buy for

102
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: every year, so I can I can go out and

103
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: really focus in on it and ask for some advice,

104
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: and go out and question other members of the family

105
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: about what do you think about this and that and that?

106
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: So I can get hone in on a little polling,

107
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: you a little polling and get some advice from somebody

108
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: who really knows, and so that that helps. But I've

109
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: always been I'm not really a rule follower. So you know,

110
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: if I if I'm in a group of which I'm

111
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: in several groups, and they've got well that's a twenty

112
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: dollars limit or fifty dollars limit, that those real don't

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: apply to me.

114
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm that kind of guy.

115
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: So if if I see something that is the right thing,

116
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: I don't, it's I'm gonna get it. Yeah, you know,

117
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: so I do that a little bit as well. Okay,

118
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: but I'm for this, I'm yeah, I'm still I'm not.

119
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't and I'm sure you're in the same boat.

120
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't do the lion's share of the work. This

121
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: just did.

122
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: The missus handles that. But I try to get my

123
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: stuff done in time. I did push it, just do

124
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: partially to forgetfulness and partially to some roadblocks that I

125
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: ran into online.

126
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: Right, I'll say that, let's phase it is. At this point,

127
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: does any like guy like you and meglar, married guy's kid,

128
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: you know, the kid is any Is there any reason

129
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: I have any guilt over this at all? That's the

130
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: American way. Well, your wife is like, oh, I got this,

131
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: and I got that, and I got that, and I

132
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: got that and I got that, And I'm like, well.

133
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 2: Women are more thoughtful by nature, right, I think that's.

134
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: That's just the way of That's the way of the world.

135
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: So I don't even feel guilty about it anymore. I'm

136
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: like her, she's good at it. Let her do her thing.

137
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a gift. It's my gift to her

138
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: telling it. You are good man, you are better than me.

139
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: You know, Han, You're good at it. I'm I trust you,

140
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: you know. And that's my little contribution. All right? Come on,

141
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: what are we? Who we fooling?

142
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not fooling any right, I know that. So

143
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: I'm smart enough to know I'm fooling Noah, exactly.

144
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: So, so just go with it and maximize it.

145
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: Uh, we do wanna pass along a welcome to some

146
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: CCS TV people who are visiting us today. CCS TV

147
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: is an educational online streaming service that's operated by the

148
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: Collaborative Children's Solutions down in Jamestown, New York. So they're

149
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: out of school, popped up to kind of see our

150
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: operation here. But they do a nice job down there,

151
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: nonprofit organization kind of dedicated to empowering youth down there.

152
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: So they provide a platform for young aspiring broadcasters and

153
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: media people to showcase their talents gain hands on experience.

154
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: So I know, I was just telling some of them.

155
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: I know I didn't have that in high school. So

156
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: very fortunate and glad that some of those aspiring journalists

157
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: and media people are taking advantage of that opportunity. So

158
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: I tell to them the people that are teaching them.

159
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: I told I told him this. I got a chance

160
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: to chit chat with him for a minute. I do

161
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: you want to get into the broadcast industry or any industry.

162
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: It's hard to do this in New York State, but

163
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: that's how I started in the broadcast industry. I just

164
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: offered to work for free. Yeah.

165
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: Fortunately, the young people when they get to college can't

166
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 2: do an internship for free in New York State and

167
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 2: can't have to get paid. So I told them it's

168
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: a beautiful thing. I was doing internships for free too.

169
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: I remember that. You just do it and and through

170
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: the intern you go in and you're interning for free,

171
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: and you try and make yourself indispensable. And it's like,

172
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: at least that place has to hire. They want to

173
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: hire you. You got one spot, right.

174
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: And their resume builders too.

175
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so all that. So that's what I good

176
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: luck to ask my advice, do it for free and

177
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: then somebody will pay you to do it if you're

178
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: good enough.

179
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 2: So nice. It's nice to see them up here and

180
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: checking things out. Hopefully, hopefully they were at least mildly

181
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: impressed with our operation here.

182
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: So uh.

183
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: Well, as long as they weren't focused on us, that's right.

184
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 2: They're fun, that's right. Uh got plenty to get to

185
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: here today because there were a lot of things going

186
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: on here as the season winds down. As as we

187
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: all knew going into last night's Monday night football game,

188
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: the chance for the Bills to clinch a playoff berth

189
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 2: was still there for the taking, not anything they had

190
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: to do. They won their game on Sunday in Cleveland.

191
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: They needed a couple of other things to happen, and

192
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: one of those other things did happen. So this morning

193
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: you probably woke up and found out the Bills ticket

194
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: to the postseason was punched last night by virtue of

195
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: the Colts dropping their Monday night matchup to the forty

196
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: nine Ers. So with the Colts loss, Bills clinch a

197
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: playoff berth. It's the seventh consecutive playoff berth for the Bills.

198
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: That's the longest active streak in the league. There is

199
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: no other NFL club that has reached the postseason each

200
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: of the last seven years. It is hard to do

201
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: and the Bills have done it each of the last

202
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: seven years, so congrats to them. Then, on top of that,

203
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl teams or rosters were announced. Bills will have

204
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: three representatives in the Pro Bowl. Josh Allen, James Cook,

205
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 2: Dion Dawkins all named to the Pro Bowl. For Allen

206
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: it's his fourth time, Cook his third, and Dawkins it's

207
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: his fifth straight year he has been named. So congrats

208
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: to those three. And maybe you know down the line

209
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 2: here there could be an alternator two name to the

210
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl. Hopefully the Bills are not available for the

211
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl because they're still playing regular football.

212
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: The Pro Bowl is on the Tuesday before the Super Bowl, right,

213
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: so you get my point.

214
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, But they've done a nice job, all three

215
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: of those guys and a lot of other guys. I

216
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: was a little disappointed to see Reggie Gilliam not make

217
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: it at the fullback spot. I think Ray Davis came

218
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: on a little too late to get more consideration, you know,

219
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: as a specialist, So that was unfortunate. And a lot

220
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 2: of this is timing, Like you gotta.

221
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard.

222
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: I'm well, you know better. Anybody at the specialist role

223
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: where there's one spot for the entire conference, good luck.

224
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: It's it's tough, but you know, I'll never forget it

225
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: was a huge When I first started in the league.

226
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: It was only coaches players who could vote. The fans

227
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: had no say in it, so it was really a

228
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: prestigious It is more prestigious award when it first started

229
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: during my career, and I'll never forget the what how

230
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: it changed my attitude, I don't know, attitude. It affected me.

231
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: When I first got my first Pro Bowl, it felt validated.

232
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: More than that, it was a it was an absolute

233
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: dream come true to have the coaches and players around

234
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: the NFL vote for me. It was something I'll never

235
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: forget it. And it you know, it happened you know

236
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: later too, and it and it changed that voting is

237
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: during my careers when the voting changed and they had

238
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: included the fans as well. It's it's cool and and

239
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: I know that it's changed over the years and they

240
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: don't really play a game. They don't play a game anymore,

241
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: but it still means a lot to the players. I'm

242
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: sure it really means a lot because the coaches and

243
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: players around the league do count, even though the fans

244
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: are also included. The fans and coaches count just as

245
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: much as that. And it takes players and coaches to

246
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: get you the Pro Bowl. And I'm I know it's

247
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: really important to these players. And although it's it's a

248
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a symbolic game anymore and they don't

249
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: even play football, it's it's a huge honor for these guys.

250
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm happy for Dion and Josh and James.

251
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: I know that there's a lot of guys that, even

252
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: if they don't say it publicly, are really disappointed that

253
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: they didn't make it. It was an it was an

254
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: event in the locker room when those things are announced

255
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: to the to the group or however each team does it,

256
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: they do it all they all do it differently. Yeah,

257
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: and uh and it's a big deal. So congratulations of

258
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: those guys. It's awesome. Dion five times, good for him,

259
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: Josh four four and and James Cook three And I'll

260
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: and I'll say this too. I think James might have

261
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: a shot at All Pro at running.

262
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: Back and you can rushing now if because Jonathan Taylor's

263
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 2: did not catch up.

264
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: To him, I will say, I will say this, you

265
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: get All Pro at running back or corner or pass

266
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: rusher or quarterback. Quarterback is kind of an MVP kind

267
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: of thing too. All Pro that's both AFC NFC conference together,

268
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: everybody to get the whole league. All pro is. I mean,

269
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: if you're doing it at running back, you are the dude.

270
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you are all of it. You're him and

271
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: James Cook Cook certainly is in that conversation neck deep

272
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: right now, So kudos to him, and I hope he

273
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: gets it.

274
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: Head coach Sean McDermott and addressing the media late yesterday,

275
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: called Jordan Ployer with a hamstring injury, Daikwon Jones with

276
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: a calf injury, and Shack Thompson with a neck injury,

277
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: all day to day. Josh Allen also called day to

278
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: day with a sore foot. McDermott said he anticipates Josh

279
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: being available on Sunday. Meanwhile, Jordan Phillips and Matt Prater,

280
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: who miss this week's game, said to be improving with

281
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: quad and ankle injuries, respectively, but no definitive clarity yet

282
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 2: on their availability for Sunday's game against the Eagles. So

283
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: that's kind of where things stand with the Bills health wise,

284
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: and those practice updates are presented by leecom your Lake

285
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. Let's Go Around the NFL

286
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: presented by Colada Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

287
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: And as we mentioned, forty nine Ers beat the Colts

288
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: on Monday Night football, turning a one score game at

289
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: halftime into a route as they outscored Indianapolis twenty four

290
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: to ten in the second half to win forty eight

291
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: twenty seven brock Purty a five touchdown night. Niners improved

292
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: to eleven and four on the season and clinch a

293
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,239
Speaker 2: playoff birth themselves. They currently sit in the top wildcard

294
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: spot in the NFC as the five seed. If they

295
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: went out, they could still get the number one seed

296
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: in the NFC.

297
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: How about that there's ten teams around the league both

298
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: AFC NFC who has to have a show the number

299
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: one seed in their conference. There's like three in the

300
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: NFC and there's like seven in the AFC, which is crazy.

301
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: We had it during the run up to this. These

302
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, we've been chuckling a little bit.

303
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: A lot of people have been openly just making fun

304
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: of the fact that the Colts brought Philip Rivers back

305
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: to play quarterback. Dude Hung's twenty seven points up last

306
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: night took him down on the opening drive of the

307
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: game through an unbelievable ball for a twenty yard touchdown

308
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: to give his team the lead. He threw for two

309
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven yards last night, was twenty three

310
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: of thirty five, two t d's in an interception, and

311
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: a rating of ninety seven.

312
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: The interception went back yeah for a pick six.

313
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: So I'll say this, that guy is not. That guy

314
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: still belongs. I told Brownie this this morning. The amount

315
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: of knowledge and experience he has you can't buy. No,

316
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: there's no shortcut to it.

317
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: Well, and why they sought him out.

318
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: That's why they sought him out. He is Philip Rivers,

319
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: Bless his heart. He has done everything but embarrassed himself

320
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: or the league. He has played well for the Colts

321
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: so and I know it raised a lot of eyebrows

322
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: when they signed him. And I know he's zero and

323
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: two as a starter, but I'm telling you what, he's

324
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: more than functional.

325
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's all. He's done pretty well in his

326
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: two starts.

327
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's something else. I think he deserves a

328
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: real you want to talk about comeback player of the year,

329
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: That guy's all of a sudden, it's on front burner.

330
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: Could be.

331
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: In addition to the Bills, the Chargers and Jaguars also

332
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 2: clinch playoff berths in the AFC thanks to that Colt's loss.

333
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 2: So all three of those teams, I mean, the Jags

334
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: are they have not locked down the AFC South yet

335
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: because they got Houston and Game back of them. The

336
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: Bills sliver of a chance at the af Sea East title,

337
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: but they need help for that to happen. Chargers can

338
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 2: still get the number one seed in where they can

339
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: still win the division, the AFC West, and they have

340
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 2: an outside look at the number one seed. They're one

341
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: of those seven teams that Steve mentioned.

342
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: They So Buffalo needs New England to go one and

343
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: one in their last two games, and Buffalo needs to

344
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: go too, and oh, if that happens, Buffalo wins the division.

345
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: The problem is New England is playing the Jets and

346
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: the and the Jets and the Dolphins. So there's that's

347
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: your chance, right.

348
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: And we'll get into that a little bit more when

349
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 2: we get to our topic of discussion.

350
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: The Jets with their number what four quarterback.

351
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 2: It's three three Lee Brady cook Oka scheduled to play

352
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: there and Quinn Ewers is playing, Yeah, so the third string.

353
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Bills have to go too. And oh

354
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: against the Philadelphia the defending Super Bowl champions and the

355
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: Jets and the Jets so both home games though they.

356
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 2: Are both home. Patriots on the road. This week, DK

357
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: Metcalf issued a two games suspension without pay for two

358
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 2: games for conduct detrimental to the NFL for initiating a

359
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: physical confrontation with a fan. His altercation happened during the

360
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: Steelers Lions game in Detroit last weekend, grabbed the fan

361
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: by the shirt collar, took a swing at him, and

362
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: according to NFL Network, the two game suspension for Metcalf

363
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: could be costly if upheld. Based on his contract, the

364
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 2: suspension would void not just the rest of his salary

365
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: for this season, but forty five million dollars in future guarantees,

366
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: twenty five million fully guaranteed in twenty twenty six and

367
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: another twenty for injury in twenty twenty seven. Holy cow,

368
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: talk about a costly altercation. Good lord, there's a lot

369
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: in this altercation.

370
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: It's just a little scuff up. Nobody was hurt. There's

371
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: a lot in this incident, guarantee, We're I mean, you

372
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: think about it when somebody's playing chess, not checkers. But

373
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: you think about that if if Pittsburgh wanted out of

374
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: that contract, go pay that. Go pay the dude in

375
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: Detroit a million bucks to do exactly what he did.

376
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: And I know there are some viral videos going around

377
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: of that altercation from the stands. We all saw footage

378
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: of that altercation from a field camera or a camera

379
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: on the other side of the stadium. And but there are, yes,

380
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: there are fans with some phone videos and he this,

381
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 2: this fan walks by them after the incident happened, and

382
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: he said, that's just.

383
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: What we wanted that, Yeah, that was that was the goal.

384
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: The guy who got hit by DK said that was

385
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: the goal. He also, I mean, he didn't even some

386
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: of the videos show that. It doesn't appear that he

387
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: even did any contact. Yeah, it made contact or didn't

388
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: utter any of the racial slurs that Decay accused him of.

389
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: There's all this he said, she said stuff. But the

390
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: video the guy and that's what the guy was trying

391
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: to do is create an altercation. And now DK metcalf

392
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: puts forty five million dollars in risk you know, is

393
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: not no longer guaranteed because of the suspension that he got.

394
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: That goes all the way to twenty twenty. Except, man,

395
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: this thing's got rippled. This it's got ripple effects that

396
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: are huge. Oh yeah, for DK and the Steelers and

397
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: you know all of this stuff. Now, the guy the

398
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: the jamoke that was in the stands, he's lawyered up. Yep,

399
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: he's made some statements. It's it's a mess.

400
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a mess.

401
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: And this is the same guy and so For those

402
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: of you who don't know, DK used to play for

403
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks played in Detroit last year.

404
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: That same fan was heckling him last year as a Seahawk.

405
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: He comes back this year. Last year DK reported that

406
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: guy to security, Well, they didn't do anything, So the

407
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: guy's he's right back here. The next season heckling him again,

408
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: and now an altercation happens. It's escalated. So what DK

409
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: reported like he should have last year, nothing was Oh

410
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: my gosh, it's so it is a mess. And now

411
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: millions of dollars are at stake for him. Wow, it's

412
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: a mess.

413
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: The league also suspended Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman for repeated

414
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: violations of playing rules designed to protect the health and

415
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: safety of the players. Perryman was flagged for a helmet

416
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 2: to helmet hit against the Cowboys. He hit a receiver

417
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: Ryan Florinoy while he was on the ground helmet to helmet.

418
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: Perryman is going to appeal the suspension, according to his agent.

419
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 2: He is considered LA's best run stopping linebacker and the

420
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: Chargers still have a chance to win the AFC West

421
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: if they win their last two games, but they.

422
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: That could be a I don't costly absence, unlike the

423
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: DK thing. And this is not a mess. I don't

424
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: think Denzel's got a foot to stand on. He's done

425
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: it multiple times. It was an easy call for the

426
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: officially when it happened.

427
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got flagged on the play floor and Oi.

428
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: Was down on the ground and Perriman speared him, came

429
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: in and lit him up.

430
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 2: You can't do that, Nope.

431
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean he's been he's been watching those nineteen seventies. Yeah,

432
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: NFL film rules are different there. You can't do that,

433
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: and he is, Yeah, he's That's that appeal is worthless.

434
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 2: Topic of discussion for you today. How would you handle

Speaker 5: Thanks for taking my call?

445
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 6: From seventy three to seventy seven, I was at medical

446
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 6: school in Cincinnati and my wife was a student at

447
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 6: the University of Cincinnati. Also, I slept three nights on

448
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 6: the concrete at Riverfront Stadium to get tickets to the

449
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 6: Yankees World Series, the Red Sox World Series, and the

450
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 6: Bills Monday Night football game, the first Monday night football

451
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 6: game ever in Cincinnati.

452
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: Wow.

453
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 6: And there weren't many Bills fans there either, but we

454
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 6: got great seats. And the first play of the game,

455
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 6: from the twenty yard line, Oj took the ball to

456
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 6: about the forty five yard line on the left sideline.

457
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 6: They cut him off. He took it to about another

458
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 6: twenty yards to the across the right hash, then he

459
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 6: took it another twenty yards across the left HASH, and

460
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 6: then he cut it straight down the field and scored

461
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 6: a touchdown first game, first play of the game. We

462
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 6: lost that game in Cincinnati. When Cook ran that forty

463
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 6: five yard play at the beginning of the game. This

464
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 6: past Sunday, I turned and looked at my wife and

465
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 6: I said, what's that remind you of? And she said

466
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 6: OJ's pinball high speed pinball run in Cincinnati, And I

467
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 6: said exactly. So I just wanted to call in and

468
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 6: mention that that cook is really good. We all know

469
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 6: everybody in Buffalo knows he's leading the league in yards,

470
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 6: but he's close to being the talent that Ojay was.

471
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 6: So having Merry Christmas, fellas, and thanks for taking my call.

472
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 6: And incidentally, since we're talking about Cincinnati, Skyline Chili is

473
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 6: the best. It's the best. I know you guys are

474
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 6: not crazy about it, but my wife and I we

475
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 6: love it.

476
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: So Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas. Each their own call was

477
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: so good until he got to the end. Well, Skyline Chili, I.

478
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: Can't when you're sleeping deliberately sleeping on concrete. Three times

479
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: dedicated sports fan. I think I remember the Monday night

480
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: game with oj Didn't he have like one hundred and

481
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: ten yards in the first half yet like three runs

482
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: like that? One of them went for a touchdown, another

483
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: one he got tackled inside the ten and he slipped

484
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: and fell and got back up when he was out

485
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: in the open field broken. You know he used to

486
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: wear the old spot built shoes. Oh yeah, And I

487
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: think I think I do.

488
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: I'm too young.

489
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: I think oj had like three those runs in that game,

490
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: and I didn't realize they lost the game, but it

491
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: might have been a different one. I can't remember, but

492
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: there's some old Bills fans like me out there that

493
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: may remember it.

494
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: But I am jealous that I didn't see the seventy

495
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: six World Series. Not that the Yankees won the seventy

496
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: six World Series. They lost to the Reds that year,

497
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: won the next two after that, but to see the

498
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: Yankees against the big Red Machine, I would have signed

499
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: up for that one. In us second, we do have

500
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: to take a break here because when we come back,

501
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: we've got our from the Armchair segment with Bill's former

502
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: center Mitch Morse. He's going to join us, give us

503
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: his thoughts on the performance of the Bills in their

504
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: latest victory at Cleveland, and maybe look ahead a little

505
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 2: bit to Bill's Eagles in week seventeen. Mitch Morris joins

506
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: us next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colia Health.

507
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Is a guy that probably enjoys

508
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: an easy chair every now and then. It's former Bill's

509
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 2: center Mitch Morris joining us here, also host of the

510
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: Monday Mornings with Mitch podcast, here to talk about Bill's

511
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 2: Brown's and very festively adorned here for the holiday season

512
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: with his Santa cap. Did you pick that up yourself

513
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: or did your lovely wife purchase that for you?

514
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 7: I think you know the answer to that. Okay, Chris,

515
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 7: My wife does everything in this house worth doing, and

516
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 7: God bless her for it. Yes, one of the many

517
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 7: things that I'm thankful for on this Christmas season.

518
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: How thankful were you that the Bills squeaked out a

519
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: victory in Cleveland? How about that?

520
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 8: For us?

521
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 5: It was.

522
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: You know, you look at the analytics and the game

523
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: didn't look close, but it was close. Yeah.

524
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 7: Well, you're also looking at this rally cap because I

525
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 7: put this on and the boys started figuring out. You

526
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 7: know what's interesting in this league is that there are

527
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 7: no easy wins. I came leaving that game more surprise

528
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 7: at Cleveland had won more games than the Bills. Keeping

529
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 7: it that close with Cleveland, Yeah, I mean, in the end,

530
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 7: the wins a win. It wasn't sexy. There were a

531
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 7: few guys who I thought played well. I mean, James

532
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 7: Cook is continuing his historic care season and listen, it's

533
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 7: it's another step in the right direction.

534
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: At the end of the season, there seemed to be,

535
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: and understandably so, a very focused game plan on not

536
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: letting Miles Garrett wreck the game because he has the

537
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: capability of doing that, as we all know. And it

538
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: was a team effort to no one's surprise. I know

539
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: we talked even a little bit with you about this

540
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: last week, how you have to have extra hands on

541
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett if you're going to control him, because blocking

542
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: him one on one is a near impossibility. So what

543
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: did you think of the efforts there on Sunday?

544
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 7: I thought the efforts were tremendous. Listen, we talked about it,

545
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 7: Like you said, you watch any bit of film on

546
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 7: the guy. He is a generational talent, an amazing football player,

547
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 7: a guy who's chasing a record with plenty of games

548
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 7: left to make it, and the bills they had, you

549
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 7: could see they had a game plan. They executed it.

550
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 7: Of course, Dion Dawkins deserves his flowers, especially coming off

551
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 7: of flu, losing all that weight flying around there competing.

552
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 7: I think that was the biggest thing we saw was

553
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 7: we knew it was going to be a competition. There

554
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 7: were times where he had to block him one on one,

555
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 7: and he did that beautifully. But what the guy I

556
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 7: think that lost a little bit of the limelight, and

557
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 7: this whole thing was David Edwards, because what they were

558
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 7: able to do with David was overset with Dion or

559
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 7: set him wide to mitigate the speed, and then David

560
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 7: was there seamlessly, flawlessly, so you could tell they had

561
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 7: hammered it, they had practiced a thousand times. I'm sure

562
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 7: they thought about it when they were going to bed.

563
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 7: There's a few of those players. You think about that now.

564
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 7: Don't keep you up at night, per se, but you're

565
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 7: thinking about it outside of the building, and they executed

566
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 7: it beautifully. Of course, the run game was going well.

567
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 7: They actually dropped back pass a lot more than I

568
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 7: thought they would. Didn't seem to matter. The guys played

569
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 7: excellent football.

570
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: One of the things that happened earlier in that game

571
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: the Bills brought some pressure, and they do that sometimes,

572
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: particularly when you know they're trying to generate a pass rush,

573
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: particularly against a young quarterback. They brought pressure a couple

574
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: of times, and the Browns got them with screen passes

575
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: and nicked off big plays. How much trying to relate

576
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: how much does that scare off a defensive coordinator, like, listen,

577
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: we're not bringing pressure if they're gonna kill us with it.

578
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: They did it twice. They were spread out opportunities. How

579
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: does that change game plan? How does that change the

580
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: game plan for the defense when you know they get

581
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: you when you do try and make something happen.

582
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it was one of those things that

583
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 7: kind of reiterated what I was saying earlier, which was

584
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 7: I just think the Browns are a better football team

585
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 7: than their record. That's what I got from that. The defense,

586
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 7: the mind of the defense in the Buffalo Bills is

587
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 7: shared by a few other teams, and that is historically,

588
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 7: we're going to stop the run. On the way to

589
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 7: rushing the passer, you're gonna get screened every once in

590
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 7: a while, and there's a few times those are gonna

591
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 7: be big hitters. But if you let that to tier

592
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 7: the way you play, which is aggressive, and there was

593
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 7: a way that these guys were playing and that's why

594
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 7: they got screened on that's gonna happen. And I think,

595
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 7: you know, you could talk about I disciplined all this

596
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 7: stuff like sometimes it was just two really good play

597
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 7: calls at pivotal moments when they got the defense at

598
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 7: the exact right opportunity. I'm sure it's something that they

599
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 7: will hone into. I'm sure it's in the back of

600
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 7: the minds of the guys. But if you let that

601
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 7: to tier the way you play, which is fast and

602
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 7: aggressive as hell, then you know they win and you

603
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 7: know this defense is just adopted personality and it's own.

604
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 7: These last few weeks, Yes, the run game is still

605
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 7: a thing that we're worried or working on, but I

606
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 7: like where this team's going.

607
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: What can you say about the way a handful of

608
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: veteran players turned back the clock on Sunday, I mean,

609
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 2: making game changing type plays. And it wasn't just one

610
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: or two guys. There are like three or four.

611
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, I mean I call it the life alert squad.

612
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 7: Like the guys who are the older crew in the building,

613
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 7: they they played admirably. Man, I think you just look

614
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 7: at statistics, don't even look at the game. You just

615
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 7: look at statistics. You see a guy like Jordan Poyer

616
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 7: light up the stat sheet, tackles, sacks, interceptions, and you

617
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 7: have a guy like Matt Malana who's continuing to play

618
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 7: like we had talked about these past few weeks, you

619
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 7: have Joey Bosa a decade in the league, tipping it

620
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 7: to Daikwan Jones in his twelfth year with his first

621
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 7: career interception. Your big players who have been around for

622
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 7: a bit or have been around the league for a bit,

623
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 7: those are the guys who want to lean on because

624
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 7: they know how to play consistently. They know how to

625
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 7: not only fix things that need to be fixed, but

626
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 7: also hit their stride and see it later in the season.

627
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 7: And that's what we saw, just guys playing beautiful football,

628
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 7: especially well into their thirties, which fires me up a

629
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 7: little bit.

630
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: So last night, the final gun of the forty nine

631
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: Ers Colts game, the Bills make the playoffs with the

632
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: Colts loss, I'll ask you two games left, this much

633
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: of a chance to win the division, mostly because the

634
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: two division teams that the Patriots have to play are

635
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: on fire and leaking oil, and they're winning third string.

636
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: They're playing third string quarterbacks. So the chances is only

637
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: this much. How do you handle the last two games?

638
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: If you're the Buffalo Bills no one. You need to

639
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: be healthy and fresh when the playoffs really begin, as

640
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: opposed to maybe keeping your chances for the slim hopes

641
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: of the division title alive.

642
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 7: Right, which is a good point, Steve. You still attack

643
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 7: it like there's something to go after, because there absolutely is.

644
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 7: You never know it's the end. It is the League

645
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 7: of parody, So who knows what you can't control that

646
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 7: All you can control is coming in as a professional

647
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 7: doing what you know you need to do, which is

648
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 7: attack these next two weeks. You have a very formidable

649
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 7: opponent coming in, and then you have a team that

650
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 7: you said's on fire a little bit, but that's okay,

651
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 7: Like they could still squeak out wins. You can use

652
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 7: this as a lightning rod, as a catapult, a tribuche

653
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 7: into effective and efficient football going into the playoffs. And yes,

654
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 7: you could be road warriors. But I feel like that's

655
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 7: an adopted thing that these guys have, which is every year,

656
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 7: especially this year, we've heard all the negative stuff about

657
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 7: what we can and can't do, but yet here we

658
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 7: are having an opportunity to play in the playoffs. Like,

659
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 7: just take it, take it one day at a time,

660
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 7: see what happens. I know, it's the biggest coaching cliche

661
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 7: you've ever heard in your entire life, and it's beaten

662
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 7: through us with a hammer but it's around for a.

663
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: Reason, all right. So Week seventeen here, and you know,

664
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 2: the Eagles come in defending Super Bowl champs. They've had

665
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 2: their own share of difficulties through the course of the season,

666
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: and sometimes you see this with defending champs. Maybe it's

667
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 2: harder to dredge up the hunger because you already got

668
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 2: a trophy in your case. But what is it that

669
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: you would say impresses you the most about this Eagles team?

670
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: Wow?

671
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 7: I would say they're physicality, right, Like, they're a physical

672
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 7: team that prides themselves on how they play up front.

673
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 7: They've invested quite a bit of capital and draft picks

674
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 7: into those guys. And yeah, it's kind of weirdly similar

675
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 7: in parallel into all the stuff that people have had

676
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 7: to say about what they can and can't do, and

677
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 7: yet they squeak out wins, They blow a teams out.

678
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 7: They're just physical upfront. They have an incredible rushing attack,

679
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 7: and they got those players that are eye candy off

680
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 7: the screen. I mean you have Saquon Barkley, you have

681
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 7: aj Brown, DeVante Smith, all these guys. I know there's

682
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 7: been a narrative that they can't pass the ball, but

683
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 7: you can fool me, man like. These guys can be

684
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 7: explosive when they want to, and they can be hard

685
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 7: as when they want to, and they know how to win.

686
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 7: They know how to win the big ones, and they

687
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 7: know how to play incredible football, especially late in the season.

688
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: Give me an idea of how the Bills stack up.

689
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: I certainly their run game is something they can lean on.

690
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: They're guys leading the league and rushing now after sixteen weeks,

691
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: and they've got the defending MVP. How does this offense

692
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: attack a defense that is getting Jalen Carter back on

693
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: the lineup. They're good outside on the edges. What do

694
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: you think what's this game going to look like for

695
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: the Bills offense?

696
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 7: The thing that I would do if I'm the Bills

697
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 7: offense is, of course pound the run game, but try

698
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 7: to dominate the time of possession right, get in the flow.

699
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 7: Get these guys tired. You have a guy like Jayden

700
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 7: Carr coming back, you might not be in football shape

701
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 7: that he was when he was out. Yes, you have

702
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 7: tremendous full ball players in that defense, but you also

703
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 7: have weapons on the other side that also kind of

704
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 7: on finding the groove of the game. So if you

705
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 7: can kind of mitigate their time of possession, but also

706
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 7: kind of keeping the ball out of their hands meeting turnovers.

707
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 7: It's just going to be a hard, notes fought game.

708
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 7: I could see this game not lasting very long in

709
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 7: regards to both teams trying to effectively run the ball,

710
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 7: but it'll be fireworks regardless. Dude, I'm excited to watch it.

711
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of expecting a little bit of a

712
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 2: rock fight in this one because I think both teams

713
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: are going to try.

714
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 7: To run Week seventeen in the NFL. It's a beautiful

715
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 7: thing to see.

716
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is.

717
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: Mitch. Thanks for the time as always, Enjoy Christmas with

718
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 2: your young family and we'll catch up with you next week.

719
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 7: Merry Christmas to you folks. It's a blessing to work

720
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 7: with you guys once a week. I'll talk to you later.

721
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: Thanks Mitch.

722
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: That's Mitch Moore's joining us for me Bill Center with

723

Speaker 2: from the Armchair, presented by Ray Moore and Flanning. It

724
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: got to get back to the phone calls when we return,

725
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: but we do want to remind you check out the

Speaker 2: weekend to commemorate the final season at high Mark Stadium.

728
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 2: Ticketmaster and the Buffalo Bills have created a time capsule

729
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: for Buffalo Bill's Legends and members of Bill's Mafia to

730
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 2: solidify themselves and their fandom in Bill's history for years

731
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 2: to come. Fans who stopped by the Ticketmaster time Capsule

732
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 2: during this weekend's activation will be able to take photos

733
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 2: that will then be printed on ticket stub photo prints.

734
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 2: One ticket stub photo will be used to mark your

735
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 2: place in history by placing it in the capsule, and

736
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 2: the other is for you to keep as an exclusive memento.

737
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 2: Bill's Legends and members of Bill's Mafia are also encouraged

738
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: to bring their own photo prints to put in the

739
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 2: time capsule, inclusive of their favorite moments, games or tailgates

740
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 2: that they've attended in current high Mark Stadium over the years.

741
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: Kind of a cool deal there, So if you want

742
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: to take part and you're coming to the game, you

743
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: know where to go. As we said, got to take

744
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 2: a break here. But when we return, we get to

745
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: the phone calls at EIGHTO three five point fifty will

746
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: lead off with Ken down in Virginia. When we get

747
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 2: back here. On one, Bill's Live presented by Colid of Health.

748
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio Game Day Mentality is presented by

749
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 2: Best Self Best Self Behavioral Health, official mental health partner

750
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. And for this one, it's it's

751
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: kind of a different animal. It's not a familiar opponent.

752
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: They don't play them every year, although they did just

753
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: play them two seasons ago in twenty twenty three on

754
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: the road. But the Eagles come to town and they're

755
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: defending Super Bowl champs, so they come with a certain

756
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 2: amount of cachet. They have high end, elite level talent

757
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 2: on the roster, and as we just heard Mitch Moore say,

758
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 2: there is a sliver of hope that you're playing for

759
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 2: a division title, but you need help there. At the

760
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 2: same time, you're in a very tight AFC wildcard race,

761
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 2: and I think you'd much rather be the five playing

762
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 2: the weakest division winner than the seven playing the second

763
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: best team in the playoff pool. So how do you

764
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 2: go in that your mindset going into this one.

765
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: Well, you've got to go in knowing well anticipating almost

766
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna see this team again in a month in

767
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Uh, you don't know if that's gonna

768
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: and there's a ton of things that have to happen

769
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: to that. But you got to go in thinking you're gonna,

770
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna measure up to these guys. They are really good,

771
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: as you said, Brownie. Their roster is deep, it's big,

772
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: it's talented. As you heard Mitch morson our last segment.

773
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: Their physical the physicality is what defines their team. You know,

774
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: the tush push, the whole thing. This is a measure

775
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: it really isn't. Kevin from Hamburg told us yesterday he

776
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: thinks this is a measuring stick game, and he's right.

777
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: They're the world champions. They're you know, eleven months removed

778
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: from or ten months removed from that. But they're a

779
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: good squad. They're gonna win the NFC East. They're gonna

780
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: be the first roster to win the NFC East and

781
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 1: back to back years in over two decades. So they've

782
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: got it going on. No matter if they they had

783
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: a flashy season or you know, or anything else they have,

784
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: they are a good football team and they are a

785
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 1: little bit of a measuring stick. They always will be. Uh,

786
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: the defending champ is is always a measuring stick. So yeah,

787
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: I think you want to go out and put your

788
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: best foot forward. You're gonna have to. You're gonna have

789
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: to show them some stuff. Uh, and you're gonna have

790
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: to really play well to win, and you're gonna have

791
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: to make some plays against a really good team. You

792
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: heard Mitch Morse and Dan Orlovsky is gonna tell us

793
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: later about you know how good they are defensively personnel wise.

794
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: They they got everything on that team. They're talented everywhere

795
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: you look. And this is no question a measuring stick

796
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, I mean, come on, AJ Brown, Jalen Carter,

797
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and they got the guys on

798
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: the outside in the defensive secondary, I mean they have

799
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: They are.

800
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 2: Mitchell and Cooper de jen just made the Pro Bowl. Yeah,

801
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 2: they're corner.

802
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: So this is going to be an absolute bear of

803
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: a game, an absolute rock fight, now bar fight. It's

804
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be a really difficult game to win.

805
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: And you come out on top of these guys. It

806
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: is a feather and new cap. This. You know, you

807
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: can't say you had a you know, you beat a

808
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: week schedule or nobody, you have beaten anybody that you

809
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: beat these guys, you beat somebody, So that's what you're

810
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: looking at in this game, and your week of preparation

811
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: should reflect that.

812
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 2: So that is game day mentality presented by Best Self

813
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: Behavioral Health. Let's get back to the phones at eight

814
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 2: O three oh five fifty one eight eight eight five

815
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 2: point fifty two five fifty as we're asking you today,

816
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 2: how would you handle the bills last two games with

817
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 2: your playoff ticket already punched? To Ken in Virginia? Next,

818
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 2: what's up? Ken?

819
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 9: Good afternoon and Merry Christmas. Christmas to what I wanted

820
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 9: to call about, though it wasn't wasn't your question, it was.

821
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 9: It was the status of Dorian Strong. I live about

822
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 9: twenty miles from Blackbird and went to Tech and have

823
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 9: seen him play for years and just wondering where he

824
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 9: is now and whether he's going to be playing this

825
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 9: year or is it turn around so next year.

826
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, hard to know the long range future for him, Ken,

827
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 2: but he unfortunately suffered a neck injury early in the season,

828
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: and the last time coach McDermott was asked about his prognosis,

829
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 2: coach unfortunately said it's not good. So I don't think

830
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 2: we're going to learn more what's that.

831
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 9: That was back in November, Right in November.

832
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, So there hasn't been an update on

833
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 2: him since. But it did not sound like he was

834
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 2: you suiting up again this year. We know how neck

835
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 2: injuries can be very tricky, not only for the immediate

836
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 2: future but the long term future. So we don't know

837
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 2: what the nature of his neck injury is. But when

838
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: coach said that, it certainly did not paint a rosy

839
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 2: picture for his mediate future or his long term future.

840
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: So we're hoping for the best, but I don't imagine

841
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 2: we'll get another update on him until the season wrap

842
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 2: up press conference hopefully, and hopefully that's in February. So sorry,

843
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: we can't shed more light on it. But that's kind

844
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 2: of where it is right now. I would not expect

845
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: to see him on the field again this year, exactly. Yeah,

846
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 2: And that's kind of where it is. From one Virginia

847
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 2: caller to another, we go to Miran in Virginia.

848
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 10: What's up, Miron, Hi, gentlemen, thanks for taking my call

849
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 10: on Merry Christmas. In terms of just answer the question

850
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 10: that you guys post, I do whatever it takes to

851
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 10: play Jackson go in the first round That's that's how

852
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 10: I handled the remainder of the season.

853
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 4: Man.

854
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 10: My second question, as in regards to the use of

855
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 10: alf Anderson, we haven't seen him on the field a lot,

856
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 10: using him as a sixth offensive lineman. I'm wondering if

857
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 10: there's something they can do to get him more involved

858
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 10: in the game. Possibly, you know, have six offensive lineman,

859
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 10: then Jackson Hall is another tight end, and then have

860
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 10: Duson Oxen kind of really kind of run a jumbo

861
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 10: plus package, sell out the Mago team south for the

862
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 10: stop the run, and then you pass on. That's something

863
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 10: that you think that they can do in the in

864
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 10: the future to kind of keep teams off their toes

865
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 10: or is that kind of going to jumbo and a

866
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 10: little overkill on the side and giving up some you know,

867
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 10: downplay capabilities and pass game.

868
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: We answered this before, right I think so, yeah, you're right.

869
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: He has not been on the field like he was

870
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: last year for sure, because of the emergence of Jackson

871
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: Hawes Hawes. The first thing we found out about him

872
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: when they drafted him and this training camp got going

873
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: was even the offensive linemen were impressed with his ability

874
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: to block in the run game, in the pass protection game.

875
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 1: Not only his ability to physically do it and get

876
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: it done, but also the nuance of technique how to

877
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: slide off one level to the next. The guys gifted

878
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: at that, and that in and of itself negates the

879
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: need to go six offensive linemen as often as they

880
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: did a year ago. That's that's part and parcel of

881
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 1: why Alec Anderson's role has changed this year. It's not him,

882
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: it's somebody else.

883
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 2: And secondarily, having a tight end on the field who

884
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 2: blocks as well as alignman still leaves you more unpredictable

885
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: to the opposing defense too, because there is a chance

886
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 2: you could throw them a pass. I don't think anybody's

887
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: worried about Alec Anderson running out and catching a pass.

888
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Alec Anderson is not gonna is not going to

889
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: get two targets for two receptions in twenty six yards

890
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: with a long of eighteen like he did against Cleveland.

891
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: Alec Anderson is not doing that. Hawes is.

892
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 2: So it leaves you more unpredictable to the opponent as well,

893
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: which is what makes playing Hawes more attractive than Anderson. Now,

894
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 2: I suppose if you run into a situation where you're

895
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 2: getting bullied at the line of scrimmage and you need

896
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 2: more girth and wade in there, and you feel Anderson

897
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 2: can help in that regard. Maybe he gets on the

898
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 2: field in a certain situation against a certain opponent, but

899
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 2: I think they've made it pretty clear which way they

900
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 2: want to go.

901
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: Make no mistake, though, Alec Anderson's part of the team's plans. Boys,

902
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: when they had Vander Mark and Alec Anderson on the

903
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: field starting together, they did pretty well.

904
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 2: They did all right, and they did pretty well. Let's

905
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 2: go to Paul in Acronex.

906
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 11: What's up, Paul, Hey, Merry Christmas.

907
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 5: Guys.

908
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 11: You guys give advice, you know, like Thanksgiving, birthday parties, weddings.

909
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 11: People can't watch the game, and you guys always have

910
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 11: great ideas, so I wanted to pick your brain on

911
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 11: this one.

912
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 5: Okay, Brownie, I love.

913
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 11: Listening to you. I love hearing say A Capacio on

914
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 11: the sidelines. You guys give so much better updates than

915
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 11: the guys on the radio or on the TV. I

916
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 11: can't get you guys and the TV together sync because

917
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 11: you guys are ahead. You're always a play ahead. So

918
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 11: I could tell everybody in the room what just happened

919
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 11: on the play when Josh Allen comes up till I'm like, oh, yeah,

920
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 11: we just threw a twenty yard pass and everyone looks

921
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 11: at me like shut up. You know, yeah, but how

922
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 11: is there any way? I mean, you can't pause the radio.

923
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 11: You can pause the TV, but the TV, you guys

924
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 11: are ahead of the TV. So right, so I don't

925
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 11: know you I'll hang up and listen to what you guys.

926
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 11: Maybe somebody out there does something that they could probably

927
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 11: you know, call in and let you guys know what

928
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 11: they do to to hear you guys instead of the

929
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 11: guys on the TV, because I I much rather hear

930
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 11: you guys. Do you guys do the coin flip? I

931
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 11: know who's getting the ball? They don't do that on TV.

932
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: I love that, yep.

933
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 11: But yeah, so if you guys have any ideas, just

934
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 11: let me know. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, have a

935
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 11: good one guys.

936
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 2: And first of all, Paul, thanks for the kind words.

937
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. That means a lot that you listen.

938
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 2: Do you make an effort to listen to us instead

939
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 2: of the TV broadcast there's no offense to them. Appreciate

940
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: that more than you know, because we love having the

941
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: local people listen to us. It is harder to sync

942
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: it up locally than it is if you live out

943
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 2: of town because people that live out of town, they'll

944
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 2: pull in the broadcast on the Odyssey app, and because

945
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 2: it's working on a wireless service, the radio broadcast will

946
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: actually be behind their smart TV. And in that case

947
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: they can pause their TV wait till I say here's

948
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 2: the kickoff, and then they can sync it up that way.

949
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 2: I do know this though, the Odyssey people have worked

950
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 2: very hard to sync up our radio broadcast with the

951
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 2: television broadcast, and I know it is most effective when

952
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: it is a Fox telecast, and it is a Fox

953
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,959
Speaker 2: telecast this weekend. So even though you are local in Akron, Paul,

954
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 2: there is a very good chance that our radio broadcast

955
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 2: will be as closely synced to the television broadcast as

956
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 2: possible because, for whatever reason, we're the Odyssey people are

957
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: able to sync up the radio broadcast more effectively with

958
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 2: the Fox broadcast than the CBS or the ESPN or

959
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: whatever other network is running it. So I would encourage

960
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 2: you to try it this week. The other option is

961
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 2: to try the Odyssey app, or you can use the

962
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 2: Bills app, which has live radio as an option on it.

963
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 2: If you go to the bottom right corner of the

964
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 2: Bills app, you can hit that button. It will take

965
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 2: you to a second page and you'll see a live

966
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: radio tab and you can use that. And if you're

967
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 2: using a wireless service, it will sometimes delay the radio

968
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 2: broadcast more and you can sync it up more effectively

969
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 2: with the television broadcast that you're watching. So those are

970
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 2: a couple of suggestions for you to attempt this weekend.

971
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 2: Got to take a break. Second hour The show begins

972
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 2: with ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlowski. Next here on One

973
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. Stay with us.

974
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Callalida Health.

975
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 2: Welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

976
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 2: with you, and please to welcome in now ESPN NFL

977
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 2: analyst Dan Orlovsky, whose appearances on One Bill's Live are

978
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 2: presented by Caesar's Sportsbook and official mobile sports betting partner

979
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills and Dan we should first close

980
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 2: the book. On week sixteen, Bill's Brown's Where For the

981
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 2: first time in a while, the Bill's offense got off

982
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 2: to a relatively fast start, hung three touchdowns on the board,

983
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 2: there early and then had to hang on with their

984
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 2: fingernails there at the end. I don't know if anybody

985
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 2: took it at a gear per se, but this is

986
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 2: the time of year where you see superior teams kind

987
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 2: of hang on for victories. Houston struggled to beat the

988
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 2: two win Raiders team, and we saw the Bills have

989
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 2: to rely on some defensive stops at the end when

990
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 2: Greg Grussoe kind of took the game over there with

991
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 2: two and a half sacks.

992
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

993
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 12: I always think these weeks are and opponents are interesting

994
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 12: for teams that kind of know where they are. There's

995
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 12: not I mean, there's a sliver of maybe getting into

996
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 12: an elevated option, there's a sliver of maybe dropping down.

997
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 12: But and you're playing against you know what's a significantly

998
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 12: inferior opponent, human beings. You know, guys have a lot

999
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 12: going on in their lives right now, with you know,

1000
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 12: holidays and Christmas and potential playoffs starting and trying to

1001
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 12: plan things. So it wasn't overall pretty, but there was

1002
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 12: enough to find ways to win. James was great. They

1003
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 12: ran the ball well. I think a couple of drops

1004
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 12: probably impacted the overall scoreboard. More than it should have been.

1005
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 12: The defense got hit with you know, two huge screen

1006
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 12: passes versus pressure. You know, Shador made some players with

1007
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 12: his legs. So I don't think that there's anything that

1008
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 12: happens in that game that you're concerned or alarmed about.

1009
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 12: I think that you can point to it and say, hey,

1010
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 12: you know, these are things that certainly we have to

1011
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 12: be more on top of, but find a way to win.

1012
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 12: They're in the playoffs, which is a good thing, and

1013
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 12: now they can kind of start to plan for what

1014
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 12: the next couple of weeks could look like.

1015
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: And it seems like now that we talked about this

1016
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: when Kansas City was still in the mix, when Baltimore

1017
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: was still in the mix, when you know all these

1018
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: teams that we have become accustomed to over the last

1019
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: five or six years, the Bills are kind of the

1020
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: only team left in this tournament that might have a

1021
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: little bit of contention fatigue. You know, they kind of

1022
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: have that attitude of it seems like they may have

1023
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: an attitude of like, man, this regular season is just brutal,

1024
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,479
Speaker 1: and just get us to some games that really matter.

1025
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 1: And it seems like they're not the only ones. Obviously,

1026
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: Houston did that looking at looking at the Raiders and

1027
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: watching the Raiders on film, trying to get ready for

1028
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: that game. You kind of get to the point where

1029
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: let's get through this game, let's get a win, and

1030
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,240
Speaker 1: let's move on with this, right Yeah.

1031
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 12: And I think Steve, I mean, you know this as well.

1032
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 12: This is a long season, and you can, if you're

1033
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 12: a good team, you can get to this point and

1034
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 12: be like, we'll find a way to win the game.

1035
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 12: You know, it's just you. They're not good enough to

1036
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 12: beat us if we almost show up. And that's not

1037
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 12: trying to be disrespectful. I'm just putting myself into those

1038
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 12: shoes as an ex player and whatnot. And so yeah,

1039
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 12: I just think that it's, you know, when you get

1040
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 12: to that point now, it's it's games that matter and

1041
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 12: have impacts. If I'm not sitting here telling everybody that

1042
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 12: the division isn't still an option or indoor the potential

1043
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 12: of a one but and it's so unlikely, guys, know that,

1044
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 12: you know, it's you look at the picture and say, Okay,

1045
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 12: is New England going to lose to these teams? And

1046
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 12: then is Denver gonna lose to these teams? And is

1047
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 12: Jacksonville gonna lose to these teams, and it's it's just

1048
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 12: the reality, and so you're really just thinking about, Okay,

1049
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 12: you know, how can we be best suited to go

1050
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 12: in for this really really important run that here it

1051
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 12: goes again, And I just think it's a little bit

1052
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 12: of human emotion.

1053
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 2: What about Buffalo's offense here Dan going into this one

1054
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 2: against the Eagles, it looks like they're still trying to

1055
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 2: find a combination they can count on in the receiver room,

1056
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 2: specifically on the outside, and after last week, it seems

1057
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 2: like they are still searching. Gabe Davis has been a

1058
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 2: healthy and act of each of the last two weeks.

1059
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 2: Keon sits down last week, and they clearly went with

1060
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 2: a speed group. Palmer Cooks Hartman didn't really play on offense,

1061
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 2: only got two snaps on special teams as a punt returner.

1062
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 2: I think it's good they're gonna spin the dial again

1063
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 2: this week based on lack of results last week. If

1064
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 2: you had to pick your outside group for this team

1065
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 2: based on a number of factors, I'm sure where do

1066
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 2: you come down in terms of what pairs best with

1067
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 2: the tight ends and backs they have in the passing game.

1068
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 12: I will tell you the four receivers that I would

1069
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 12: want on the field throughout the course of a game

1070
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 12: would be one Shakir, two Gabe Davis, three Shavers and

1071
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 12: four Bummer. Those would be the four. And I think

1072
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 12: for Gabe and Shavers, why them over keon my honest answers, trust?

1073
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 12: I think you can trust them. I think that they're

1074
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 12: going to give you everything they have in the run game,

1075
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 12: which obviously is a big deal. I think they're gonna

1076
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 12: be where they're supposed to be more often than not,

1077
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 12: or do what it takes to get there, and that's

1078
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:07,399
Speaker 12: at least the quarterback knows. And then obviously the tight

1079
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 12: ends are still massive parts in the back. So from

1080
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 12: a wide receiver perspective, those would be the four that

1081
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 12: I have the most confidence in. I think that you

1082
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 12: know Chris says, they go into Philly, Philly's a defense

1083
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 12: that is it's an interesting matchup because you want Philly

1084
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 12: to be in nickel defense as much as possible, not

1085
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 12: because you think you can take advantage of their nickel.

1086
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 12: You think you can take advantage matchup wise on their

1087
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 12: third defensive back, which has been a Dorri Jackson. Degene

1088
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 12: is fantastic and Quenya Mitchell is fantastic. So those two

1089
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 12: cover people zone or man. Now a lot of times

1090
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 12: their zone defense is a match defense. So it feels like, man,

1091
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 12: you're not gonna love a ton of matchups on those guys.

1092
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 12: You do love going after that third corner, and that's

1093
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,040
Speaker 12: kind of what teams have done throughout this year. So

1094
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 12: you've got to find ways to to with personnel get

1095
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 12: that third corner on the field and then create that matchup.

1096
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 12: Their backers have been good in coverage more so recently,

1097
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 12: and so you know it's it's a matchup where even

1098
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 12: with your tight ends, you're gonna get a ton of own.

1099
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 12: You're not gonna get a ton of man. Buffalo is

1100
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 12: eight up man, and I think what you're gonna see

1101
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 12: is a defense that tries to put the top over

1102
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 12: everything and force that run game to be a consistent weapon.

1103
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 12: But if you can get matchups on a dory that

1104
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 12: usually has has spelled good stuff for an offense.

1105
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: So you've got the Bills have got this offense now

1106
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: where you know James Cook is leading the league in rushing.

1107
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: He's the only guy that's been consistent the entire year.

1108
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: He's got one hundred yards in eleven games. I mean

1109
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: almost every game you can count on him getting close

1110
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: to that. He's been They've got a really good, solid,

1111
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: consistent running game that youve got to contend with. Uh

1112
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: and they've taken that off of Josh's plate, right, Josh

1113
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: and have to put the cape on every week. And

1114
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: although we've seen him do it too, out of last

1115
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: three weeks, you know, they've kind of found a different

1116
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: way to win coming down the stretch with their run

1117
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: game and being a little more physical and throwing it

1118
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: when they need to, And certainly that's what has probably

1119
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,919
Speaker 1: put Josh on the back burner of the MVP conversation, right.

1120
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it was a quiet weekend for Josh.

1121
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 12: You know, it's coming off of a super loud weekend.

1122
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 12: There's gonna be a huge opportunity on Saturday for him.

1123
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 2: You know.

1124
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 12: I think Josh, like if I was voting today for MVP,

1125
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 12: I would have probably put him kind of neck and

1126
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 12: neck one last week. I'd probably put him at three

1127
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 12: this week with what we saw Stafford do on Thursday

1128
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 12: Night Football and a loss, and then Drake May with

1129
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 12: the comeback, and so yeah, I think style wise. You know,

1130
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 12: I do think that there's a lot of good when

1131
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 12: it comes to you know, we we've talked a lot

1132
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 12: about the concern or the flaw or they're bad about

1133
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 12: this offense throughout the course of the season. I do

1134
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 12: think there's a lot of good, you know, And to

1135
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 12: your point, James Cook, you know, when you you can

1136
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 12: consistently just dictate the game and control the offense in

1137
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 12: the line of scrimmage, that's going to be huge, not

1138
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 12: only in this game against Philly, but really into the

1139
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 12: playoffs because matchups are going to be everything in the playoffs.

1140
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 12: I mean they will be everything in the AFC. And

1141
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 12: so you know, there is no concern about if Josh

1142
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 12: can do it or if this offense can get it done.

1143
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 12: It's really about if this run game can stay as

1144
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,479
Speaker 12: consistent as it can and they don't give the ball away.

1145
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 12: I just think it's a very difficult offense to hold

1146
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 12: under realistically thirty points.

1147
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 2: Dan with some NICKTA players for Philly, it looks like

1148
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Jalen Carter has a chance to get back in the

1149
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 2: lineup this week. That's noteworthy. Nikobe Dean, though, stoinks a

1150
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 2: hamstring last week and is kind of up in the air.

1151
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 2: I know they've got their first round pickture Hot. Campbell

1152
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 2: right behind him on the depth chart, and he played

1153
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 2: some games earlier in the year before Dean came back.

1154
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 2: How are those two different in skill set in your estimation,

1155
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 2: because I'm envisioning the Bills, you know, us in the

1156
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 2: middle of the field in the passing game, tight ends Shakir.

1157
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 2: You mentioned that the linebackers are doing better in coverage

1158
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 2: of late for Philly, But if it has to be

1159
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 2: Campbell instead of Dean, where are they better? Where might

1160
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 2: they be worse?

1161
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 12: Yeah? So one, Dean is a much more utilized and

1162
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 12: successful blitzer. He would be the guy that would be

1163
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 12: very much so in their blitz package. They're not a

1164
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 12: heavy blitz unit, but in their blitz package, and he's

1165
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 12: very good on the backside of runs. Now, Campbell much

1166
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 12: better in coverage. He's longer, he's more athletic, He's not

1167
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 12: as much of a pressure guy. He's also not nearly

1168
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 12: I don't want to say not nearly. He's not as

1169
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 12: instinctual on the backside of runs. You know, he kind

1170
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 12: of waits to feel the run. Na Kobe's got great

1171
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 12: instinct of when to go on the run, and so

1172
01:01:56,360 --> 01:02:00,919
Speaker 12: I think those are how they're fundamentally different. They don't

1173
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 12: ask Nikobe to cover as many tight ends as they

1174
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 12: have Campbell. Campbell's the guy that they have trusted covering

1175
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:11,439
Speaker 12: tight ends much more in their coverage. And I say

1176
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 12: this just as that reminder. This isn't really a man defense,

1177
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 12: but it will feel like man to the offensive players

1178
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 12: for Buffalo, it's match. It's match. So you know that

1179
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 12: tight end is gonna come to the area and then

1180
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 12: that linebacker is going to try to clamp down on him.

1181
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 12: And so it's a really good coverage unit, Chris, it is,

1182
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 12: it's a really good tackling unit. You don't get a

1183
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 12: lot of yards after the catch, so a lot of

1184
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 12: those bubbles, those RPOs that are a big part of

1185
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 12: this offense. I wouldn't. I would be surprised that that

1186
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 12: was one a huge part of the pass game plan,

1187
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 12: but also to successful they Degene. I can't say enough

1188
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 12: about Cooper dejen He's a guy like, honestly, you don't

1189
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 12: even want the ball in his area. He's so good

1190
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 12: at tackling, he's so good at playing with leverage. He

1191
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 12: can punch away the ball and take it away. He's

1192
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 12: crazy athletic, And so I think if I'm Joe Brady,

1193
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 12: it's really this. You don't like throwing to Quinny, you

1194
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 12: don't like throwing to Jjin. So it's can you get

1195
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 12: a matchup on a ball? Who's been better of those linebackers,

1196
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 12: but more so Adrian. So if this, if there was

1197
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 12: a game that receivers will have to step up, step

1198
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 12: up and make some plays, it's it's gonna be this

1199
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 12: game for Buffalo.

1200
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 1: How good is Philly's run defense, particularly if Jalen Carter's

1201
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: back in the mix?

1202
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 2: Uh?

1203
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 1: And then you know, I also it looks like Lane

1204
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: Johnson's gonna be back in a left tackle, And you

1205
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: look at the numbers, it's like they're way better when

1206
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson. They win games when when their left tackle

1207
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: is in the game. Yeah, well the right tackle is

1208
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: in the game. I mean, Lane makes teams to make

1209
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: a big difference for them. But how good is their

1210
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: run defense? How much will Buffalo be able to expect

1211
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 1: tough sledding?

1212
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, the run defense has been okay this year for me.

1213
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 12: You know, everyone will think of that Black game versus

1214
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 12: Chicago when they ran for two hundred and fifty yards

1215
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 12: and gutted them. Chicago's a little bit different philosophy wise,

1216
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 12: run game, much more motion, much more zone. Buffalo's way

1217
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 12: more now they'll get into week zone. But duo, you know, Steve,

1218
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 12: I would tell you this isn't a run defense that

1219
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 12: I have watched this year and said, dominant unit. It's good.

1220
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 12: But Carter hasn't played, and even when Jalen's played this year,

1221
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 12: he has not been the dominant force he was last year.

1222
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 12: Now maybe that's because of the injuries to the shoulders,

1223
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 12: which is obviously the reason he's been out. Ojomo has

1224
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 12: been a good player, Nolan Smith has been in and

1225
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 12: out of that lineup. The guy that's probably been the

1226
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 12: best defender for them against the run is their addition

1227
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 12: Jalen Phillips. But he's and he was brought over as

1228
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 12: a pass rusher from Miami, and so it's a good

1229
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 12: run defense. The thing that does show consistently is are

1230
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 12: they going to fit the run properly?

1231
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: Yes?

1232
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 12: Do they tackle well properly? Outside of the Chicago game,

1233
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 12: they didn't go not give up. They haven't given up

1234
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 12: a lot of like explosive runs. You got to be

1235
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 12: efficient with them, which is I would tell you a

1236
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 12: good thing for Buffalo because they want to be efficient

1237
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 12: in the run game. They want to get five six

1238
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 12: yards a clip in their duo game, and so it's

1239
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 12: a good run defense, but it's not one that you

1240
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 12: have to sit there and go, we don't have a

1241
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 12: chance against. This is not Houston's run defense.

1242
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 2: And then on offense for them, Dan, they've leaned on

1243
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 2: Saquon a little bit more the last few weeks and

1244
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 2: they've gotten traction in their offense because of it. Are

1245
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 2: you anticipating this to be somewhat of an early rock

1246
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 2: fight where these two teams are just mashing it up,

1247
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 2: you know, in the run game against one another.

1248
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1249
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: So I have been.

1250
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 12: Encouraged from Philly's offense since the Chargers Money Night football game.

1251
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 12: And I know that sounds outrageous because that was the

1252
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 12: five turnover game. Jalen played poorly with picks and whatnot,

1253
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 12: But I saw them doing things schematically that at least

1254
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 12: challenge a defense. So you've since then, you've seen this

1255
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 12: offense go much more under center run. I would fully

1256
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 12: expect that to continue much more empty. You're gonna get

1257
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 12: eight or ten snaps this game from empty and this

1258
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,919
Speaker 12: is why it matters for feeling right now because one,

1259
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 12: the quarterback run game out of Empty is being utilized

1260
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 12: more than it was the first two thirds of the season,

1261
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 12: So Jalen as a runner. Two, they're really good right

1262
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 12: now of finding those matchups. They are a difficult offense

1263
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 12: to match up against when they line up in it.

1264
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 12: When you got Davante and aj and Godder and Saquon.

1265
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 12: You know, even in your your zone defense, there's there's windows,

1266
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 12: and there's zones that are gonna get vacated if you

1267
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 12: don't have good pass rush, which Buffalo has had some

1268
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 12: struggles with. And so now the thing that they have

1269
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 12: struggled with and Empty is pressure blitzes, and so you

1270
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 12: know that would be something to pay attention to. And

1271
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 12: then their play action game has been uptick, and their

1272
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 12: play action game, I would tell you, is relatively similar

1273
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 12: to Buffalo. You're gonna get play action that is three

1274
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 12: level concepts, something deep, something shallow, something short, and they're

1275
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 12: kind of similar concepts repeated just getting to them in

1276
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 12: different ways. So it's been an improved offense. But again

1277
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 12: I still think this offense is boom or bust in

1278
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 12: a way where they can string together a drive. They

1279
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 12: could also go two or three straight three and outs.

1280
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: So, Dan, there's seven teams in the AFC bracket, and

1281
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 1: it looks like they're not going anywhere, right. I mean,

1282
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: you got Houston, Buffalo, and Chargers in the wild card,

1283
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at nine and six. I mean, if they go,

1284
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: if they lose too straight and Baltimore wins too straight,

1285
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know if about the tie breakers, but

1286
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: it seems like the seven teams in the AFC are set.

1287
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: If you're Buffalo sitting at the six hole, how worried

1288
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: are you about seeding? And how I mean how much

1289
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: do you put into the pie of trying to still

1290
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: win the division even though it's a sliver of hope?

1291
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: Do you rest guys? Do you pull in the sales?

1292
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: Do you get to the postseason as healthy as you

1293
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: can and not worry about where you're seated.

1294
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 12: I get to the postseason as healthy as I can.

1295
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 12: I'm not worried if I'm where I'm seated there. If

1296
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 12: they go and do what they have, you know, earned

1297
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 12: the right to say this is our goal, They're gonna

1298
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,439
Speaker 12: have to be a team or two on the road.

1299
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 12: That's you know, like I don't. I also don't think

1300
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 12: there's a team in the AFC that you're like, don't

1301
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,919
Speaker 12: want to see them. It's it's gonna be about matchups.

1302
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 12: There's some really good teams. There's some teams that are

1303
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 12: are you know, unit wise, this is our dominant unit,

1304
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 12: this is our good unit. And so if I'm Buffalo

1305
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:37,799
Speaker 12: and I sit back and I realistically the division feels

1306
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 12: out of sight, I'm not saying that, maybe you know,

1307
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 12: this game obviously is a big deal, because then at

1308
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 12: least it puts a little bit of pressure on in

1309
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 12: New England to win this week. But I would sit

1310
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 12: there and say, if we're healthy, if the Buffalo Bills

1311
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 12: are as healthy as you can possibly be, and that

1312
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,519
Speaker 12: means ed Oliver has the chance to get back for

1313
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 12: a wild card game, I still think no matter who

1314
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 12: you play in that opening round, you should be the favorite.

1315
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 12: I truly believe that. That's with all due respect on

1316
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 12: the road. But you'll have a team that one can

1317
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 12: as good an offensive line as anybody in the playoffs,

1318
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 12: it could be the best offensive line in the AFC.

1319
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 12: A quarterback that has been there, done that, and played

1320
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 12: his best football in the playoffs, and a defense that

1321
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 12: I know people sit there and go, oh my goosh

1322
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 12: run defense. I don't see a dominant run offense in

1323
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 12: the AFC playoffs. I don't see a run defense that

1324
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 12: has been nearly as bad the past couple of weeks

1325
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 12: as it was to start the season. And I see

1326
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 12: a coverage unit that I think can cover pretty darn well.

1327
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,560
Speaker 12: And so I would tell you if Steve for me,

1328
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 12: it would be a health thing and in a mental

1329
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:55,560
Speaker 12: energy thing for this significant run. More than great. We

1330
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 12: got you know, we got the Jaguars and not the

1331
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:00,600
Speaker 12: Chargers or something like that.

1332
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 2: Right, Dan, thanks as always appreciate the insight. Having Merry

1333
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 2: Christmas with your family, and we'll catch you up with

1334
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 2: you next week.

1335
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 12: Merry Christmas, guys.

1336
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 2: Thank you all right. That's Danie Rolofski joining us as

1337
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:14,560
Speaker 2: he does every Tuesday, giving us the insight on the

1338
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 2: x's and o's for this game coming up against the Eagles.

1339
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here when we come back.

1340
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 2: Plenty more coming your way on this Tuesday edition of

1341
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Help, It's Buffalo Bill's

1342
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 2: Bread from the Coach's Office is presented by c FBT.

1343
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 2: Copy r Facts Business Technology, the official office technology company

1344
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. And you have to imagine Steve

1345
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 2: that the coach's office is busy with plans to neutralize

1346
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley. He is priority number one.

1347
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes sa Quon and then probably a j.

1348
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 1: Brown after that. They got some guys though, I.

1349
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 2: Mean Dallas Goddard. I think he's got the most touchdown

1350
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 2: catches by a tight end in the league.

1351
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: Right now. Yeah, they're you know, they're they're defending Super

1352
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 1: Bowl champs. There's no joke there. It's not a mistake,

1353
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 1: there's no you know, it's like they haven't played anybody.

1354
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: They were the champs less than a year ago. They

1355
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: still play like that. And that guy right there is

1356
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley. Zilla was an absolute monster. You saw that

1357
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 1: game last week against Washington. Of course, Washington was completely

1358
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:30,439
Speaker 1: outmatched from from start to finish. But you're you're up

1359
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 1: against it, and that's where you start, right there.

1360
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 2: Has to be on point for this one. No extra yards,

1361
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:41,639
Speaker 2: no spinning off, grab him, hang on. If you can't

1362
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 2: get him down, wait for help. But don't you know

1363
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 2: what I mean, Yeah, defending Offensive Player of the Year.

1364
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: He got two hundred. He's got one thousand and seventy

1365
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: two yards on two hundred and sixty one Carr he's

1366
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: got seven touchdowns rushing.

1367
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 2: And they've been using him more in recent weeks to

1368
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 2: try to get their offense back on track. They've turned

1369
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 2: to him and he's provided, yeah, some stability to an

1370
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 2: offense that's been very up and down this y.

1371
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:09,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get in the red zone is Dallas Goddard.

1372
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:11,600
Speaker 1: He's got ten touchdowns.

1373
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1374
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're they're like any good team, and they're

1375
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: like the Bills as well. Offensively, they can beat you

1376
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 1: a number of different ways, and you got to you

1377
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: got to pick your poison a little bit. So that's

1378
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 1: what's that's what the coaches are thinking about trying to

1379
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 1: relate to their players this week.

1380
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 2: So that's from the Coach's Office, presented by CfBT top

1381
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 2: A good discussion for you today. How would you handle

1382
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 2: the Bills last two games with your playoff ticket already

1383
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 2: punched eight o three zero five point fifty one eighty

1384
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 2: eight five point fifty two five fifty You just heard

1385
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 2: dan Orlofski say, I'm just trying to get to the

1386
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 2: postseason as healthy as possible some people might feel it

1387
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 2: worthy to fight for playoff seating even in the wild card,

1388
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 2: which is a very tight race right now. But we

1389
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 2: go back to the phones and to Kevin in Hamburg.

1390
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 2: What's up, Kevin?

1391
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 5: Hey, guys you doing? Thanks for taking my call on.

1392
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 5: Like I said, I have an idolity doing their families. Yeah,

1393
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 5: you too, answer the question to me? In my opinion,

1394
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 5: because of Steve seen how much of a meditors stick

1395
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 5: be out of yesterday and today? I think this game

1396
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 5: to me, in my opinion, is like the Chiefs with

1397
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 5: eagle helmets. That's the type of thing because they were

1398
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 5: in the Super Bowl. They beat the team you want

1399
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 5: to look good against the defending champs, you know, the

1400
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 5: jet game. If Josh's ankles sore, maybe you don't want

1401
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 5: to try it and you want to try Trubisky and

1402
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 5: hope he bites and cause something like a Bill's eighteens.

1403
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,600
Speaker 5: That's fifteen type of thing, but just the one like

1404
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 5: the chief game. Like I said, that's why I said,

1405
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 5: pretending to the Chiefs with egle helmets. And I'll let

1406
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 5: you say the.

1407
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 2: Rest, all right, thanks, Hevin? Yeah, I mean, I don't

1408
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 2: know if you're worried about measuring sticks. Right now, you

1409
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 2: punch your playoff ticke hit. You're a playoff team again.

1410
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 2: You're the only team in the league too, have made

1411
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 2: it each of the last seven years. Sure, you want

1412
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 2: to win the game. I get it, and there are

1413
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 2: things still at stake.

1414
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 6: You know.

1415
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 2: I know Steve is dismissive of the AFC East title

1416
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 2: because there's only a sliver of hope they get that

1417
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 2: because they need help besides winning. But I would argue

1418
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 2: you got to keep winning here because of the seeding

1419
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 2: in the wild cart Like, you lose a game, you

1420
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 2: could go from like five to seven in a week.

1421
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,680
Speaker 2: So and they're in this They've been unable to move

1422
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 2: up from six for the last two weeks and they've

1423
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 2: won both games.

1424
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 1: Yes, here's the interesting thing. LA and Houston play each

1425
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: other this week. Yeah, that's problem for them. Buffalo playing Philly. Well,

1426
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 1: the Buffalo lose, that's an NFC opponent, it's out of conference,

1427
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 1: drops you to five losses, but it doesn't lost you

1428
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 1: anything in any of the tie breakers with any of

1429
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: the AFC temence record. So the Bills have the least

1430
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 1: to lose out of that crew. But LA or Houston.

1431
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: One of them is gonna win. Yeah, And if.

1432
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:13,600
Speaker 2: Houston wins and you lose to the Eagles, you're in

1433
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 2: the seventh spot because that's the tiebreaker on you head

1434
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 2: to head and LA does two well by virtue of

1435
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 2: a better conference record. Right, Well, actually LA would probably

1436
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,679
Speaker 2: might drop behind you because they would lose to Houston

1437
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 2: to be a different thing. So, right, so they would

1438
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 2: switch spots and so you'd stay the six Houston and

1439
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 2: LA would flop.

1440
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1441
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 2: So I just think there's incentive there to keep on

1442
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 2: trucking here.

1443
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Because there's always a little incentive, no question, because you

1444
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 1: can change that. And and I listen, Yeah, it's there's

1445
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: only so much you can do, too, There's there's all

1446
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:53,799
Speaker 1: kinds of size. There's two sides of this sword. Always

1447
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:55,599
Speaker 1: when you rest all your guys, there's only so much

1448
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 1: you can do. You only have you know, fifty guys

1449
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: to sort through. You can't rest everybody. Josh sits down, Okay,

1450
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: Well you know that's not you know you're gonna get

1451
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: some pushback from the locker room, not just from Josh

1452
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: wanting to play, but it's gonna make it harder for

1453
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 1: James Cook to run well because Josh isn't there to

1454
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: threaten your passing game is gonna take it because Josh

1455
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: is not there to throw it. So it's gonna be

1456
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 1: harder for James Cook to get the rushing title. Right.

1457
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 1: That's important to guys, It's important to the locker room.

1458
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:25,560
Speaker 1: It's important to the offensive line. You put Mitch Trubisky

1459
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 1: out there, and I like Mitch too, but it's not Josh,

1460
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 1: and that changes your offense. Is gonna make it tougher

1461
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: on everybody to do their job. And what are you

1462
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: gonna do? Rest five of the start or three of

1463
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:42,680
Speaker 1: the starting five offensive linemen? Okay, there's three of them,

1464
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: and you're gonna start Alec Anderson and Vander Mark and

1465
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 1: Cedric van prin Grainger. You know you start those three

1466
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: guys in your offensive line. Okay, there's three guys that

1467
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:58,560
Speaker 1: you've rested and Josh that you've rested. Yeah, that's it.

1468
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: You ain't got any tight ends you can bring. I mean,

1469
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 1: who you gonna rest? You gotta play right.

1470
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 2: Here's my argument for still battling to win these games.

1471
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 2: My concern is the wild card seating because with as

1472
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 2: wide open as the AFC is deemed to be, this

1473
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 2: year from one through seven. If you don't keep winning

1474
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 2: and you slip to the seven hole, you're on the

1475
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 2: road no matter what. And in a year where I

1476
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 2: think there could be some upsets with wild cards beating

1477
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 2: division winners, if you're the five, you could host and

1478
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 2: you get one upset below you, you could host, host

1479
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 2: a divisional game.

1480
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 1: You could host l A or Houston or maybe even

1481
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh if they go zero to two and Baltimore goes too.

1482
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 2: And oh so I think there's some merit for that,

1483
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 2: not a ton, But man, I do not want to

1484
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 2: be the seven, five or six. I can live with it.

1485
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to be the seventh because I'm I'm

1486
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 2: on the road the rest of the way for sure,

1487
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 2: guaranteed in sands or butts.

1488
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you always kind of hang on that.

1489
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I realized it's slim that a wildcard team

1490
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 2: is gonna host. But I think this field is pretty

1491
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 2: wide open. Anybody can beat anybody in that group.

1492
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 1: So so you're saying, if it stuck, it just like

1493
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: it is Houston six, I mean Houston seven, Buffalo six,

1494
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: and they went out and all of a sudden, Buffalo

1495
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:28,679
Speaker 1: hosts Houston in the AFC. I don't mean to laugh,

1496
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:30,480
Speaker 1: but whatever.

1497
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:32,560
Speaker 2: A seven. I don't think a seven has won a

1498
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 2: playoff game yet since they went to seven seeds. I

1499
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 2: don't believe a seven has won yet. So really, yeah,

1500
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 2: it's only it's only been seven playoff seeds for what

1501
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 2: four five years?

1502
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 5: Now?

1503
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was twenty.

1504
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 2: I think this is the fifth year, maybe, I think,

1505
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,640
Speaker 2: And I don't believe a seven seed has pulled off

1506
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 2: the upset over a two yet. I don't think that

1507
01:18:58,520 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 2: has happened.

1508
01:18:59,200 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: You're probably right.

1509
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 2: I'll double check in the break here. But in the meantime,

1510
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 2: we go to Kathy down in Florida. What's up, Kathy?

1511
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 4: All right?

1512
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 3: I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy

1513
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 3: Mitch Morrison segments. I have just loved them all year,

1514
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 3: and I just think they're the best new edition you

1515
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 3: guys have done. I just enjoyed, you know, his intelligent

1516
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 3: articulate has great, really nice things to say. So I

1517
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,639
Speaker 3: just los's what I wanted to say, And go, Bills.

1518
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 3: I think we have a chance. I really think, you know,

1519
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 3: like they said earlier, you know, we can win or

1520
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 3: lose against any of these teams, and you know, we

1521
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 3: have just a bu bit of a chance as anybody

1522
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 3: else to win the Super Bowl this year. So go

1523
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 3: Bills and Merry Christmas.

1524
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 2: All right to you too, Kathy, Thanks for the call.

1525
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 1: And that's I checked it. It's a twenty twenty COVID

1526
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 1: was the first year seven playoff teams and they kept it.

1527
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and.

1528
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think anybody has one. I know this too,

1529
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: that any team since twenty n eighteen.

1530
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 2: Oh, the Packers beat the Cowboys last year's wild Card

1531
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 2: round in Dallas. That was the first seven to beat

1532
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 2: it too.

1533
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: Right, and since its inception, since twenty twenty of seven teams,

1534
01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 1: no team, only one team, actually, only one team in

1535
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: all of those years. And every year that has had it, yeah,

1536
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,839
Speaker 1: has won ten games and not gotten in the playoffs.

1537
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 1: And that was the Miami Dolphins in twenty twenty one.

1538
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 2: So there it is. Uh so a seven has beaten

1539
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 2: it too. It's only happened once, but it happened. Yeah,

1540
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 2: that sieve of a Dallas defense last year. They couldn't

1541
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 2: stop anybody, especially at home. They lost forty eight to

1542
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 2: thirty two. That's amazing, man, that's a hard loss.

1543
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 6: That was.

1544
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 1: I'm sorry it was twenty twenty yeah, twenty twenty, the

1545
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 1: first year ten Miami won ten games, didn't get in there.

1546
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 1: The only team that's won ten games didn't get in

1547
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 1: the seventeen playoff. And yes, Dallas defense was horrible.

1548
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 2: It's not terribly better this year. Let's go to Pat

1549
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:06,639
Speaker 2: in Courtland. What's up, Pat?

1550
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: Hey?

1551
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:12,639
Speaker 8: Following up on your previous conversation about linking or syncing

1552
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 8: up the radio call to the TV.

1553
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:16,760
Speaker 1: Right.

1554
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 8: I go to the games, and I like to listen

1555
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 8: to your play by play. And I tried to do

1556
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 8: it at the game with just handheld radio and smadphones,

1557
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 8: but I noticed that the play by play is behind

1558
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,560
Speaker 8: the live action. It's curious if there's any insight about that.

1559
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,600
Speaker 2: It is because they're trying to sync it up to

1560
01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 2: the television broadcast. So radio the whole reason radio is

1561
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,640
Speaker 2: ahead of television is because radio waves travel faster than

1562
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 2: television waves. So the radio broadcast is going to reach

1563
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 2: you sooner than the television broadcast. It's just the way

1564
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 2: it is. So the Odyssey people have worked very hard

1565
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 2: to try to sync and delay the radio broadcast to

1566
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:02,720
Speaker 2: link up with local television broadcasts. And as I said

1567
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:04,439
Speaker 2: earlier in the show, they've done a good job of

1568
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 2: doing that with Fox broadcasts. It's pretty close, and this

1569
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 2: is a Fox game this weekend, so I would encourage

1570
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 2: you to try that. The other means by which you

1571
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 2: can sync it up is find find connections that might

1572
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 2: delay the broadcast naturally. And what I mean by that

1573
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 2: is if you pull up the live radio broadcast on

1574
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 2: the Bills app, for example, you're using a wireless connection

1575
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 2: and that is delayed. If you have a smart TV

1576
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 2: at home operating wirelessly, you know, it's behind the TV

1577
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 2: you have hardwired by like fifteen seconds sometimes. Well, if

1578
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 2: you pull in the radio broadcast on your phone, you know,

1579
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 2: and you can broadcast it on airplay through your speakers

1580
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 2: in your house, it'll be delayed because it's coming in

1581
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 2: on a wireless feed, not a hardwired feed or an

1582
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 2: over the air radio feed. So that's one way to

1583
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 2: slow the signal down and link it up or sync

1584
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 2: it up better to the TV broadcast. So there are

1585
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,560
Speaker 2: a number of options. You got to experiment, fiddle with it,

1586
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 2: do the best you can. I will tell you it's

1587
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 2: harder locally to do that than it is out of

1588
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 2: state or out of the broadcasting region of you know,

1589
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 2: the radio frequency of our flagship.

1590
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm surprised though you're over the air in the stadium. Yeah,

1591
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: it's surprising that the radio would be delayed as it is.

1592
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you're using maybe you're using the app instead of

1593
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 1: well you had a handhold radio.

1594
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 2: You said, Yeah, that's strange. I think it's because if

1595
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 2: the Odyssey people are trying to sync up.

1596
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: He says he was over the air though with a

1597
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: handheld radio.

1598
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 2: I know that, but I'm saying the people that run

1599
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 2: the radio station are trying to delay the signal. I

1600
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 2: see what you mean, to sync it up with I

1601
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 2: see what you mean.

1602
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah they Yeah, they'll delay the signal so

1603
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: people can do it at home, not in the stadium.

1604
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's tough. It's tough. I'm not going to

1605
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 2: deny it. But some people have made it work, and yes,

1606
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 2: I do appreciate the effort. Got to take a quick

1607
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 2: break here. We'll see if we can squeeze phone call

1608
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,360
Speaker 2: in when we get back on One Bill's Live presented

1609

Speaker 2: before we're gone to Jerry into Pew. What's up, Jerry?

1616

1617
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 4: taking my call. Sure, Merry Christmas. But I think this week,

1618
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 4: the schedule, the way it's set up and favors the Bills.

1619
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 4: The Chargers in Houston plays Saturday and then New England

1620
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 4: plays at one, so that gives us, you know, we'll

1621
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 4: be able to see the picture a little better, you

1622
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 4: know about you know, talking to rest and people and

1623
01:24:59,200 --> 01:24:59,800
Speaker 4: things like that.

1624
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a good Point's true.

1625
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a chance to see Houston and LA

1626
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 1: play and then watch New England play whoever it is

1627
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 1: they're playing the Jets. The Jets, You're gonna get a

1628
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 1: chance to see that game, which you'll have a pretty

1629
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 1: good idea at halftime how that's going. I would imagine.

1630
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting help. You know, you gotta win your games,

1631
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're gonna get any The Houston,

1632
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: La game is a little bit irrelevant as well.

1633
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 2: It's a wash.

1634
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah you got if you if you're gonna

1635
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 1: do this what we're talking about, you gotta win your game. Certainly,

1636
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: if the Jets jump up and take down the Patriots,

1637
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 1: that's huge, that's huge. But then you gotta go out

1638
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: and beat the defending world champions. So you know what

1639
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:51,640
Speaker 1: are you gonna do?

1640
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, although the Patriots are false, Yeah to twelve and four, Yeah,

1641
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 2: you gotta. You gotta get your win and then win

1642
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 2: the next week and then you got the division. Stranger

1643
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 2: things have happened. You can ask for strange things to happen, right,

1644
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 2: I don't think we're out a line. Ask doesn't mean

1645
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:16,760
Speaker 2: your wish is going to be grand is going to

1646
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 2: give it to you.

1647
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: So there you go. So that is that.

1648
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 2: Wanted to get a couple of thoughts on the tweet

1649
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:26,759
Speaker 2: sheet about how you handle these last two games. Tweet

1650
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 2: sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, official equipment

1651
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 2: moving company in the Buffalo Bills, How do you handle

1652
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:33,639
Speaker 2: the Bills last two games with your playoff ticket already punched?

1653
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,560
Speaker 2: Bill's Mafia for Life says, so tough is division of

1654
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 2: Real possibility. Josh banged up already. I'd favor resting key

1655
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 2: starters for the final game and see what shakes out

1656
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 2: from Jesus's life or Jesus life. Win and win again,

1657
01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:50,639
Speaker 2: don't care if it's by one point or ten. Let's

1658
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 2: see if the Pats lose their motivation, maybe division title

1659
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 2: is still in sight. Why Higgins says play for higher seed,

1660
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,560
Speaker 2: no compete the whole way through. I think if you

1661
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 2: rest starters, you lose momentum and then have to play

1662
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 2: from behind, or you don't show up at all. I

1663
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:06,640
Speaker 2: understand you want fresh players for a playoff, but like

1664
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 2: it was said yesterday, they play to be in pain.

1665
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 2: Go bills and then Ken says, push on the passing

1666
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,840
Speaker 2: plays to wide receivers. Keep pushing it. If you have

1667
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 2: a chance in the playoffs, it will need you to

1668
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:22,639
Speaker 2: work on getting something that improves production from wide receivers.

1669
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 2: Use next games to try and experiment on what might

1670
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 2: improve it. If we went out and nothing improves, playoff, look,

1671
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 2: so he wants to Ken wants to use the last

1672
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:36,639
Speaker 2: two games to experiment more with the receivers to find

1673
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 2: some kind of scheme that works.

1674
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:39,880
Speaker 1: I get it. It's not a bad It's not a

1675
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: bad plan, you know.

1676
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 2: Here's an interesting take from Jacob. Throw caution to the

1677
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 2: wind a bit, play some young guys more like Hancock,

1678
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:54,040
Speaker 2: try different pressure packages. Dorian Williams judon rest Bosa, reduced snaps,

1679
01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 2: attempt more deep passing, game shots, keep defenses honest in

1680
01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 2: the postseason. So he's saying, put some stuff on film

1681
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 2: there too, to have future playoff opponents thinking about you

1682
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 2: chucking the ball down the field.

1683
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a possibility as well.

1684
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 2: Steve says, Unfortunately, I think you have to play the

1685
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 2: key guys and not rest like in year's past. The

1686
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:16,280
Speaker 2: five seed could prove to be very valuable in hosting

1687
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 2: the AFC title game as a five seed is not

1688
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 2: far fetched. With the parody of the playoff teams this year,

1689
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I was getting at earlier. Believer says,

1690
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:26,479
Speaker 2: my preference would be to try to win without seventeen.

1691
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 2: I'd rather have him completely healthy for the playoffs, even

1692
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 2: if it means landing in the fifth or sixth seed.

1693
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 2: Chance of getting the one or two at this point

1694
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:34,480
Speaker 2: is so slim. I'd rather just rest him for the postseason.

1695
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:38,799
Speaker 2: Differing viewpoints, For sure, I don't know, and the seventh

1696
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 2: seed makes it a long shot. Yeah, you'd want to

1697
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:44,720
Speaker 2: be the five. Ideally, it'd settle for the six if

1698
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 2: it doesn't work out. But I think you gotta keep

1699
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 2: on pushing. Yeah, we'll keep on pushing tomorrow because we

1700
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:52,880
Speaker 2: got a three hour show for you on Christmas Eve.

1701
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:53,800
Speaker 2: We'll see at noon.
