00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,000

24
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,919

00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,400

Speaker 2: regular season game, we want to take time to recognize

37
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: and acknowledge the countless number of families and friends that

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: have spent many Sundays, Monday nights, and Thursday nights here

39
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: over the years. You chose this place High Mark Stadium,

40
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: as your destination to tailgate together, share meals together, celebrate

41
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: together in times suffered together. Moms and dads shared many

42
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: days with sons and daughters, grandparents and grandkids enjoyed a

43
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: common bond of the Bills here.

44
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: Despite the generation.

45
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: Gap, Strangers that sat next to one another became acquaintances.

46
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Over the course of an afternoon season ticket neighbors became

47
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: friends with the same face.

48
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 3: As they saw here.

49
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: Season after season, some families went wire to wire from

50
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: August nineteen seventy three through to January twenty twenty six.

51
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: The best part of these last fifty three seasons is

52
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: we all had the privilege of living this weekly fault

53
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: ritual together. We look forward to seeing you across the

54
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: street next season in our brand new home.

55
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: But to this high Mark Stadium.

56
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: I think I speak for all of Bill's mafia when

57
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: I say you will be missed. Thanks for the memories,

58
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: old friend, over the last fifty three seasons.

59
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: There is no place we will have rather been.

60
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: For the final time here from high Mark Stadium, Buffalo

61
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,920

65
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: Great send off there, Brownie. I know I most of

66
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: us I didn't get a chance to hear because I

67
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 4: was getting ready for postgame Live and all that, And

68
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: of course people in the stands who don't have the

69
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 4: radio call on their earphones or whatever didn't get a

70
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: chance to hear that. That was very poignant and well done.

71
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 4: Thanks for doing that.

72
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, you know you sent.

73
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: I mean the build up to this game was I mean,

74
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: you could feel it as soon as last week's game

75
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: was over. We came in here on Monday, and it's like,

76
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: all right here, it comes. It's upon us like the

77
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: last game, and you gotta do it justice because you know,

78
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: and look, encapsulating fifty three ce's is not an easy thing.

79
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: But I think if we all just come back to

80
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: what it is, which is a shared experience for everybody

81
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: in Western New York. Because everybody in the eight counties

82
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: of Western New York they root for the Buffalo Bills.

83
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: There's nobody else that they root for. You know, we're

84
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: not in a major city like New York where they

85
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: have two New York City or New Jersey, whatever you

86
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: want to call it, where they have two football teams.

87
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: We're not in LA where you have two football teams

88
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: and divided alliances. You got one team here. I mean,

89
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: I know it's Bill Sabers. I mean that's it. That's

90
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: all we got here, and everybody roots for those two teams.

91
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: So it's a shared experience. Like you mentioned, there's when

92
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: you live here as long as you and I have.

93
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 4: I wasn't born here, but I've been here thirty almost

94
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: forty years, and you realize that it's a shared experience

95
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 4: by generation as part of the heritage. Story after story

96
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: after story. But people, most of the people in that

97
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 4: stadium yesterday, and there was a few that that was

98
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: their first state first game. Yeah, there always is. But

99
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 4: for most of the people, the season ticket holders, they

100
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: started coming with their parents, their grandparents, their brothers and sisters.

101
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 4: The answer. You know, they came with family members as

102
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 4: kids to their first game and they became season ticket holders.

103
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 4: Now they're bringing their kids the same thing. It's a

104
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 4: unique relationship, it's a unique atmosphere, it's a unique vibe.

105
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: I had a chance to go out and spend some

106
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 4: time in some tailgates yesterday, you and I both did,

107
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 4: and I went out across twenty A over into the

108
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 4: It's kind of those the forests there on the other

109
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 4: side of twenty A where the private homes have lots,

110
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 4: big lots, and they're all parking people out back. And

111
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: I was out there with some friends of mine, It

112
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 4: was the same guys who I told you about to

113
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 4: climb the fence, right, so, yeah, right.

114
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: So they don't climb fences anymore.

115
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: And I and it was a quiet it was a

116
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: quiet moment. They were standing around, kind of a fire

117
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: and it was a day like an unlike any other.

118
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: You could feel something different in the air, off in

119
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: the trees, off in all the lots. You couldn't really

120
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: you could kind of see, but you couldn't see the

121
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 4: tents and the RVs and the trucks and the cars

122
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 4: and all the crowd. It was a commotion, crowd noise

123
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 4: out in the lots. It was a crowd noise out

124
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: in the lost like there was an event going on

125
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 4: right then. It was like it was like Woodstock, you know,

126
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 4: it was like a den going on.

127
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: It was kind of the preamble, Yeah, the ultimate you

128
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: know to the main event.

129
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: Very very active, very I mean everybody was there yesterday.

130
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: Every person who had ever tailgated wanted to get one

131
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 4: last tailgate in. It was an absolutely epic day and

132
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 4: the weather was way way better than it was a

133
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: week ago for the Philly game when it was we

134
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 4: all know, I mean all of us who've been here.

135
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 4: Cold bitter cold is much better than cold rain.

136
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: Yes, although I could not feel my toes it was

137
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: so cold. Point we were doing the pregame roundtable out

138
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: by the Ralph Wilson Statue for an hour out there,

139
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: and we were all standing just so we didn't, you.

140
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: Know, freeze up.

141
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: I'm not sitting down idle, I'm in a stand and

142
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: kind of moved my feet around a little bit, but

143
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: I could not feel my toes. After being out there

144
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: for about an hour and fifteen minutes, I was all

145
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: too happy really get in the booth where the window

146
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: is open, but it's not the same as being out

147
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: in the open. And I started feeling my toes again

148
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: around midway through the first quarter.

149
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: So that was good.

160
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: and Jim and Thurman. There was all kinds of content

161
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 4: out there, and it really was an event because of

162
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: how special, you know, the moments that have happened in

163
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 4: that stadium that people really really remember, particularly in this

164
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 4: region of course, but also people around the country. The

165
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 4: one that people really referred to. And they did it

166
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 4: on you know, Andrew Cattle and did it on the

167
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 4: broadcast yesterday. We went back and looked at that snow

168
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 4: game against the Colts in two thousands. They brought the

169
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 4: booth for that, Yeah, and they had you know, I

170
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 4: was a sideline guy for that game. It was unbelievable.

171
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 4: It was unbelievable.

172
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: How were they asking you about just what it was

173
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: like being in that snow. I couldn't believe you weren't

174
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 2: wearing a hat on the sideline.

175
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 4: Well, they don't really Like every time I would try

176
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: to wear ear muffs or something like that on the sidelines,

177
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 4: they take those off when you get on, you know,

178
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: so I didn't even I stopped trying, right, So, Yeah,

179
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 4: they they started out by going back to the point

180
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: when in that game, because it was such a memorable

181
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: moment I mentioned. I said, like I tell you every

182
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 4: time now, the league always gives Buffalo some late home

183
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: games in the season because they'd love another game like that.

184
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 4: They would love it. So I said, it's a little

185
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: bit of a curse. Now they're trying to get Buffalo

186
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,119
Speaker 4: another snow game like that. But it was such a

187
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 4: you hear it all the time. That game was just

188
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: beautiful to watch because of the color rush red uniforms

189
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 4: the Bills had and the all white with the blue

190
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 4: trim Colt uniforms, and that game. It was just one

191
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: of dozens and dozens of memories that fans have about

192
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 4: being there. You said it in your in your sign

193
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 4: off right there as we started the show. You know,

194
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: people show up year after year to people they didn't

195
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: know next to them, have season tickets, They become friends.

196
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 4: Then you've got people who had their first date at

197
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 4: a Bill's game, and now they got kids and they're

198
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 4: married and they you know, they're on their way and

199
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 4: they got season tickets, they got engaged, they got proposed

200
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 4: to at the game, they got brought to the game

201
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 4: by their grandpa for the first time, you know, the

202
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: whole thing, and those are memories of each individual, let

203
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 4: alone the stuff that happened on the field that was

204
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 4: memorable in the NFL, the comeback, the fifty one to

205
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 4: three game, the three AFC Championship games, tarn Johnson, Nahim Hines,

206
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 4: those moments here recently unbelievable stuff. So, yeah, it was

207
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: I thought, the club, in the atmosphere, the organization, the atmosphere,

208
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 4: the fans showed up. Yeah, they showed up, and they

209
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 4: sent it off the right.

210
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: Way, and the players soaked it up as much as

211
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: the fans did. Several of them stayed on the field

212
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: to watch the video tribute that was aired at the

213
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: conclusion of the game, and then there were fireworks after that.

214
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: So really sent Hi Mark Stadium out with quite literally

215
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: a bang. So great job by the Bills organization. We

216
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: got to get to some Bills news and notes. So

217
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: obviously the Bills were in control of this game, wired

218
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: to wire in their final game at high Mark Stadium Sunday,

219
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: commanding thirty five to eight victory over the Jets, the

220
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: same team they beat in the first game in Hei

221
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: Mark Stadium back in nineteen seventy three, although that game

222
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: was nine to seven. Ray Davis one hundred and fifty

223
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: one yards on twenty one carries, also had a receiving touchdown.

224
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: Mitch Trubisky twenty two of twenty nine for two hundred

225
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: fifty nine yards, four touchdown passes and a one forty

226
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: two rating. James Cook had a brief appearance, just two

227
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: carries for fifteen yards before exiting, but it was enough

228
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: for him to win his first NFL rushing title with

229
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 2: sixteen hundred and twenty one yards on the season, making

230
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: him the first Bills player to lead the league in

231
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: rushing since nineteen seventy six, when O. J. Simpson won

232
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: his last of his four career rushing.

233
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 4: Time averaged over ninety yards a game rushing. Yeah yeah, good,

234
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 4: good for him. Man, what a season he had. And

235
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 4: for all the it seems like a million years ago

236
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: with all the drama in the offseason of where they

237
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: were gonna sign them, where they were gonna get an

238
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: extension signed.

239
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: That's looking like a really good long term deal for

240
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: the Bills right about now.

241
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: A really sweet deal.

242
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 3: Yeah awesome.

243
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: Ray Davis finished the regular season as the league's kick

244
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: return leader with an average of thirty point four yards

245
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: per return. The Jets, Isaiah Williams was right behind him

246
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: going into that game and ended up finishing second at

247
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: twenty nine point nine yards per return.

248
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 3: A couple of injuries in the game.

249
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: On Sunday, Matt Prater reinjured his squad in his return

250
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: from a two game absence. His status for Sunday's wild

251
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: card game at Jacksonville is now up in the air.

252
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: So the Bills might be signing a kick which of

253
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: their practice squad, as they did three weeks ago. Not

254
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: exactly what you want going into the postseason, potentially having

255
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 2: to change your kicking operation again, knowing how tight playoff

256
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: games can be.

257
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: I'll say this to I think Prader, I mean not

258
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 4: an he wasn't one hundred percent, but man, I think

259
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 4: he had earned the trust of not only you know,

260
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: the player's coach, it I think fans kind of trusted Praterer.

261
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 3: M hm.

262
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 4: He played well for the club and it's really sad

263
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: to see him go down with it. You know, that

264
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: may do it for him. I mean, he may have

265
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 4: kicked his last kick in that last Jets game, because

266
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: you never know how this is going to turn out,

267
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 4: and certainly he's not probably not going to be available

268
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 4: for this game. Yeah, I think.

269
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's good that they'll be playing in

270
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 2: warm weather, maybe that helps. But they're going to be

271
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: trying out kickers today just as a precautionary measure, so

272
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: they have somebody ready to kick in the event that

273
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: Prater cannot Cornerback Max Harston also left the game with

274
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 2: a lower leg injury. He eventually went to the locker

275
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: room before the game was over, presumably to get X rays.

276
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: Head coach Sean McDermott is scheduled to address the media

277
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: late this afternoon. We'll see if there's an update on

278
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: both of those players and their availability for the wildcard

279
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: game this weekend. So, with the twenty twenty five season

280
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: now complete, let's take a look at the standings and

281
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: find out who is raising the roof presented by Stellar

282
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: Roofing when quality counts, choose Stellar. So the Denver Broncos

283
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: lock up the top seed with their win over the

284
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: Chargers that lost by LA also allowed the Bills to

285
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: secure the sixth seed in the wildcard. New England is

286
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: the two, Jacksonville three, and Pittsburgh won a squeaker last

287
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: night to take the AFC North and the four seeds.

288
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: So your playoff matchups in the AFC looked like this

289
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: Bill at Jaguars on Sunday at one, Chargers at Patriots

290
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: on Sunday night at eight, and Houston at Pittsburgh on

291
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: Monday night at eight pm. How do you feel about

292
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: the Chargers having to play at night in New England

293
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: in January. You're an indoor team, as you know.

294
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's neither here nor there. I mean, you get

295
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: what you get. But I think the eight pm helps

296
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 4: them because it'll be it won't be like playing at

297
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 4: ten am on a one o'clock gamey in West. Time

298
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 4: change that's good. Time change is better for five pm. Yeah,

299
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: it'll be five pm. Their body clocks will be a

300
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 4: little bit better acclimated to that. The cold weather. Hey man,

301
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 4: you can't. You get what you get, But I think

302
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: the night game really helps them and gives them less

303
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 4: less of a burden to carry, because it is hard

304
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 4: for a team to go west to east. And I

305
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: think the San Francisco game going to Philly same thing.

306
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: It's a four to thirty game that's a little bit

307
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 4: closer to being exactly where they would be in a

308
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 4: normal one o'clock game on the West Coast.

309
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, two NFC games on Saturday, Rams at Panthers, Packers

310
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: at Bears. That's going to be a war, and then

311
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: Niners at Eagles. As Steve had said, So that's your

312
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: playoff slate for wild Card weekend. Also, with the twenty

313
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: twenty five regular season now in the books, the bills

314
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six opponents are set at home. We know

315
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: they'll face their division opponents Miami, New England, and New York.

316
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: They will also play at home next season Kansas City,

317
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: the Chargers, the Bears, the Lions, and the Ravens. They're

318
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: slated to play the entire AFC West and the NFC

319
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: North so on the road.

320
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 4: In addition to.

321
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: Miami, New England and New York, the Bills will also

322
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: face Denver, Green Bay, Las Vegas, Minnesota, Houston, and Los

323
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: Angeles the Rams, so they play the Chargers and the Rams,

324
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: Chargers at home, Rams on the road, and the last

325
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: Bills note to issue here, Sean McDermott is the first

326
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 2: Bills head coach to have four seasons with at least

327
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: twelve victories in the regular season. No other head coach

328
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: for the Bills has done that, so congratulations to him.

329
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 2: The staying power and the consistency is downright impressive. And

330
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: most of those seasons were while undergoing a first place schedule. Oh,

331
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: it was a first play schedule this year, twelve wins,

332
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: It was a first play schedule last year, thirteen wins.

333
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: Like they're not playing the New England schedule this year.

334
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 2: That's right, you know what I mean?

335
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 4: That's right? Yeah, And there's something in that. Somebody said

336
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 4: before the season began, would you rather have an easy

337
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 4: schedule and get hardened and get ready to play? If

338
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 4: you're gonna make the playoffs? Would you rather have a

339
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 4: hard schedule get in? And I said, take the easy schedule,

340
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 4: get there and get there healthy and get there and

341
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 4: without being challenged. That's what New England did. There are

342
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 4: two other teams that have had easier schedule in the

343
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: decades past than New England did about you know how

344
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: they evaluated. One of them was the ninety one Bills

345
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 4: that I was on. You don't remember it as being

346
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 4: an easy schedule because it never comes off like that.

347
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 4: But both the Bills and the other team, which was

348
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 4: the two thousand Rams, oh after winning the Super Bowl,

349
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 4: both those now it was the ninety nine, Both those

350
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 4: clubs went to the Super Bowl. Both those clubs went

351
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl with the easy schedule. Yeah, you

352
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 4: take it when you can get it, because it's hard

353
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 4: to do in the NFL. And so the Patriots are

354
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 4: kind of sitting in that spot. It'll be interesting to

355
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 4: see how they have fair because everybody's kind of poop

356
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: pooing what they've done. Don't get caught up in that.

357
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 4: Don't get caught up in.

358
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: Them, because there's proof that having that schedule leaves you

359
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: fresher to make a run. Yeah, this week's game, and

360
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: the proud sponsor of this year's playoffs is Northtown Automotive Group.

361
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 2: Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it at Northtown, the

362
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: official automotive dealer of the Buffalo Bill. Let's go around

363
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: the NFL quickly before we get to phone calls. And

364
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 2: that's presented by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the

365
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. And we're having a hard time keeping up

366
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: with the coaching changes because now four NFL head coaches

367
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: have received their pink slips. Here on Black Monday, the

368
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 2: Raiders have relieved head coach Pete Carroll of his duties.

369
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 2: It's the second straight year in which Las Vegas has

370
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: acted their coach after just one season. Antonio Pierce was

371
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 2: canned last year. GM John Spytech will work in close

372
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 2: collaboration with Tom Brady, a minority owner, according to a

373
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 2: statement released by the club to find the team's next

374
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: head coach. Falcons fired head coach Raheem Morris after a

375
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: disappointing non playoff season. GM Terry Fontana was also let go.

376
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: Cleveland fired head coach Kevin Stefanski, a two time Coach

377
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: of the Year, and happening just moments ago, the Arizona

378
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: Cardinals have fired head coach Jonathan Gannon after a three

379
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 2: and fourteen season. Falcons wasting no time. They have since

380
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: named former quarterback Matt Ryan director of football operations and

381
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 2: named Greg Beatles as team president and CEO. Meanwhile, votes

382
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: of confidence around the league as well. The New York

383
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: Giants released a statement saying that GM Joe Shane will

384
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: be retained and lead the search for a new head coach.

385
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: The Miami Dolphins have begun to issue requests for interviews

386
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 2: for their vacant GM position. The Dolphins put in a

387
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: request to interview Eagles assistant GM Alec Hallaby Rams assistant

388
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: GM John McKay, forty nine Ers, vice president of player

389
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 2: Personnel Tarika mod and Director of Scouting and football Operations

390
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: for the Niners Josh Williams for their GM job. Bengals

391
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: owner Mike Brown issued a statement saying they will move

392
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: forward with Duke Tobin as their GM Zach Taylor as

393
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: their head coach despite their disappointing season and the Tennessee

394
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: Titans wasting no time in setting up interviews for head

395
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: coaching candidates. They have made formal requests for the following

396
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: assistant coaches around the league, Chief so C Matt Nagy,

397
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 2: Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnolo,

398
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 2: and Colt's defensive coordinat lou and Arumo.

399
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: So there are now let me count these up here.

400
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: I think it's six open head coaching jobs here on

401
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: Black Money, Raiders, Giants, Titans, Browns, Falcons, Titans and Giants

402
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 2: make coaching changes mid season, and now the Cardinals are

403
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: added to that. So that's six. That's openings right now.

404
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: That's right around the average, that's the average.

405
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, So there's possibilities that we've heard rumblings with his

406
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 4: game last night Baltimore and Pittsburgh. What a dog fight.

407
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 4: It was crazy ending. Harrball and Mike Tomlin both have

408
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 4: been in that grinder of a head coach, under fire

409
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 4: by the fans, and the way the season went, there's

410
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 4: been a lot of speculation that Mike Tomlin just might

411
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 4: say you know what, I'm out and just step away

412
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 4: knowing that or having confidence in the fact that he

413
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 4: can get a pretty quickly somewhere else. He's been a

414
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 4: really successful dude, so some other openings. Maybe Miami is

415
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: still being talked about, as Mike McDaniel may not be

416
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 4: around all of those kinds of situations, but.

417
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: So far only six only Yeah.

418
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 2: Sunday Night football proved to be a wild game for

419
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: the AFC North title. The Steelers, without dk metcalf or

420
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 2: Darnell Washington, found a way to win as forty two

421
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: year old Aaron Rodgers turned back the clock, going thirty

422
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: one to forty seven for two hundred and ninety four

423
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: yards and a touchdown. In the Ravens, rookie kicker Tyler

424
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: Loop missed a forty four yarder wide to the right

425
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: in a twenty six twenty four victory for Pittsburgh, so

426
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 2: the Steelers take the AFC North title and will host

427
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: Houston in the wild Card round. Baltimore season is over,

428
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: and to give you an idea on how close playoff

429
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: games could potentially be. In the twenty twenty five season,

430
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: there were seventy three games decided by three or fewer points.

431
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: It's tied for the most in a season in NFL

432
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 2: history with twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two, and the

433
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 2: last game of the season was a two pointer.

434
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 4: The Baltimore Ravens opened up the season on Sunday Night

435
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 4: Football here in Buffalo, gave up the fifteen point lead

436
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 4: halfway through the fourth quarter, five minutes to go. Something

437
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 4: like that unbelievable. The Bills came back and gutted them

438
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 4: and they never recovered. Lamar went on to a battered

439
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 4: and beaten up season where he was in and out

440
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: of the lineup, struggled to practice week to week, and

441
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 4: they end up losing on a missed field goal from

442
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 4: a guy who was perfect from that distance or further

443
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 4: during the Raider season. He didn't hit all his field goals,

444
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: but everything that distance unless he was perfect on and

445
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 4: that ball went wide to the right That is exactly

446
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 4: what happened to the extra point the Steelers hit in

447
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 4: that same end zone earlier. Wasn't it the same end zone?

448
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 4: Maybe not, but no, it couldn't have been. The Steelers

449
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 4: guy did the exact same thing going the other way

450
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 4: to give him two point. Leave me the two point lead,

451
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 4: to say the three point lead. That game was absolutely

452
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 4: drunk at the end of it.

453
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: Wild game. Let's go to the phones quickly.

454
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: Here at a eight O three zero five fifty one

455
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: eight eight five fifty two five fifteen. We lead off

456
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 2: with Ed up in Massachusetts.

457
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: What's up?

458
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: Ed?

459
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, thanks for taking a call. So let me

460
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna try it this way. So I'm curious to

461
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 5: hear what you guys think. Last week, when Trevon Diggs

462
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 5: was available, I actually called into the Drivetime Show and

463
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 5: suggested it, and I was dismissed uncategorically. He's a bad player.

464
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 5: We don't need him. And I'm not saying that you

465
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: know we would know that Max Harriston would get hurt.

466
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 4: I'm not.

467
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 5: In fact, my comment was you can never have enough defense.

468
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 5: But the two things I'm curious about, guys. One, maybe

469
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 5: you guys talked about it if you did, maybe to

470
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 5: just share with me what your thoughts were on Trevon Diggs,

471
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 5: because he did get picked up and he was relatively

472
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 5: short money, he was unnguaranteed, and then just the idea

473
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 5: that Harriston was out there playing. So thanks guys, right.

474
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 4: I think they probably if they were gonna, if they

475
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 4: knew what was going to happen, they probably would have

476
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 4: activated Dane Jackson if they could have h and stuck

477
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 4: him in. But yeah, I think there's still a little

478
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 4: bit of thought they would love and I certainly don't

479
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 4: want him to get hurt, but they want him Dean Walker.

480
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: They want these guys to get some reps, and the

481
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 4: Jets were a team where you could have some success

482
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 4: on against right, Yeah, so you kind of want these

483
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 4: young guys to get in there and take some reps

484
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 4: against them. Certainly, it's always a risk. I don't know

485
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: if you live your life not play everybody, right, that's

486
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 4: the thing, and and this kind of question, you're right,

487
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: it's legitimate. Yeah, And in retrospect it's like, wow, it

488
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 4: would have been a better idea because then Max would

489
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 4: be healthy. I get all that, and you're right at

490
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 4: that level, the way it worked out, you wish you'd

491
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 4: have done something different. But I think one of the

492
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: things the league is gonna look at doing and maybe

493
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 4: they will, maybe they won't, is opening up in week

494
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 4: eighteen for the regular season is to open up their

495
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 4: practice squad so it's unlimited activations and you know, freeze

496
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: the rosters so you can't lose any of your players,

497
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 4: but let them activate all sixteen guys on their practice

498
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 4: squad if they're available and healthy, and let them rest

499
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 4: those guys they're talking about for week eighteen. For week

500
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 4: eighteen specifically for teams who want to do that and

501
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: find out about their players. And because this is what

502
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 4: you're up against, you're trying to you're trying to thread

503
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 4: that needle of getting your guys ready and making and

504
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 4: finding out about some guys and giving guys a chance

505
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 4: to reward some guys for a season long of hard

506
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 4: work and never get into play. So it's it's a

507
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 4: culture thing. It's a thread and the needle thing. It's

508
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 4: a production thing as well, and you're trying to win

509
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 4: the game, but you're trying to let guys who don't

510
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 4: normally play win the game. But you're only the roster

511
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 4: is only so big, and because of that you put everybody.

512
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 4: Everybody out there is at risk. So, yes, you're right,

513
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: it's a hard needle to thread. It's very difficult balance

514
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 4: to strike, hard needle to thread. Say it any way

515
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 4: you want, You're gonna get stuff like this happening. It's

516
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 4: just the way. It's just the way of the world.

517
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 4: And yeah, you can go back and say, well, oh,

518
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 4: we should have done picked up this guy, and you

519
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 4: don't have any idea how that would have worked out,

520
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 4: or whether it would have fit in or you know,

521
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 4: Trayvon Diggs comes up here and turns into an all

522
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 4: pro kind of doubt it. But yeah, you know all

523
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: the other sides available to It's just really difficult, and

524
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 4: you don't want to You certainly don't want to bring

525
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 4: a guy in that's going to cause problems in the

526
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 4: locker room. Yeah, and that's as much of a consideration

527
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 4: as anything.

528
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here, more of your phone

529
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,879

Speaker 2: and he spun into the end zone for the touchdown.

534
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: Ray Davis where the second receiving touchdown of the season

535

Speaker 2: and the Bills are cooking. Your Player of the Game

Speaker 2: is presented by high Mark Blue Cross Blue Shield. High

537
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: Mark is the official health plan of the Buffalo Bills

538
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: because Life. Ray Davis twenty one carries for one hundred

539
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: and fifty one yards and a receiving touchdown on the night.

540
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: That was a single game career high for the second

541
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: year running back.

542
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: So nice night for.

543
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 4: Him, Yeah, it was. And he when they needed him

544
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 4: the most, right in a game where they needed some

545
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 4: to carry the ball and be productive. He stepped up.

546
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 4: One hundred and fifty one yards on twenty one carries

547
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 4: is an awesome He averaged seven point two. Yeah, that's

548
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 4: it's an amazing stat And the offensive line was productive.

549
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 4: They gave him some gaps and he also finished runs

550
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 4: really well. And his production, Let's face it, his production

551
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 4: took the pressure off Trubisky. Trubisky could play action and

552
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 4: he could have found his His three incompletions on the

553
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 4: first half were in the receiver's hands and the other

554
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 4: one was a throwaway. The running game fixed everything in

555
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 4: that game, and uh Trubisky was the beneficiary of it.

556
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 4: Ray Davis and the offensive line where the engine of that.

557
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 4: And it was a really really good day offensively. Certainly

558
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 4: the Jets, you know, it's nothing for them to be

559
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 4: that proud of. But man oh man, the Bills, the

560
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 4: Bills guys certainly had to feel good about the way

561
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 4: their backups played. And and I'll say it again, it

562
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 4: is so fun for the starters who had to rest.

563
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 4: You don't want to sit there and rest when you

564
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 4: think you could help in a game where you're struggling

565
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 4: to win, you can't win or you lose. But when

566
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 4: you see your guys go out there and play like

567
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 4: the Bills did yesterday, there's nothing more fun.

568
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: Well, that was the exact formula. You want to get

569
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: up on them early, make it a run for the

570
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: bus game, and the Jets unequivocally ran for the day.

571
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they absolutely accommodated them.

572
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the phones.

573
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: At eight oh three, five point fifty one eighty eight,

574
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: five fifty two, five fifty and two. Maurice down in Mississippi,

575
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: what's up, Maurice?

576
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 6: Hold on?

577
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 7: Man Hey, what's going on?

578
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 3: Not miss Marins? What do you got for us?

579
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 7: Listen? I'm an old Miami Dolphin fan, long long Dolphin fan.

580
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 7: I think y'all got a chance to do something this time.

581
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 4: Why is that?

582
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 7: You got Josh Allen?

583
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 4: Yep, you got a.

584
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 7: Defense that believe it. But they tells and you got

585
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 7: to coach. The leaves are in and I told dragged

586
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 7: out a chance this Sam, I switched Tamer York.

587
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 3: And well, we appreciate that, Maurice.

588
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: That's that's very nice, especially, yeah, especially as a Dolphins fan.

589
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: Thanks for the call.

590
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

591
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: I checked on the New York Times playoff simulator to

592
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: see what their odds were, and right now, to no

593
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 2: one's surprise, the one seed in the NFC, in the

594
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: one seed in the AFC have the highest odds to

595
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl. They're playing one less game than

596
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: everyone else, so that would make sense.

597
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: Seahawks with the highest odds.

598
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: To win the Super Bowl at twenty four percent, the Broncos'

599
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 2: second highest odds at seventeen percent. After that, the next

600
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: highest odds belong to the Patriots at nine percent, the

601
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: Eagles at eight percent, and then Texans and Jaguars at

602
00:31:59,280 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: seven percent.

603
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 4: They have the Bills at six percent.

604
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 2: Not a lot of difference there, you know, you're talking

605
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: six seven, eight nine, that's not a huge difference. You

606
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: understand why the one seeds are given the edge. They're

607
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: playing one less game and they're playing at home.

608
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's the way it works, and it I

609
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 4: don't know. I still know that nobody's looking at the

610
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills and the way that and the guy they've

611
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 4: got taking snaps in their defense, and the running game

612
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 4: and all the league leading rusher and the defending MVP

613
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 4: coming in. Nobody wants a piece of that team. The Jaguars, No,

614
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 4: they they got the short straw, I think, and I

615
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 4: know Houston is a really good football team. The Chargers

616
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 4: are really good football team. And defense travels. I'm telling you.

617
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: Texans gave up some uncharacteristic big plays to a rookie

618
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 2: quarterback and Riley Leonard of the Colts yesterday. Now, maybe

619
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: their mind is elsewhere, maybe in that game and they

620
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: weren't locked in. They're already thinking postseason, and maybe that's

621
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 2: why they get that performance. Well, Ryan's was not thrilled

622
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: after the game.

623
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 4: If that's. If that is the case, it says something

624
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 4: about their mentality as well. It's not flattering so well,

625
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 4: I'm the Bills are tough out. They always have been.

626
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: They're always gonna be with with Josh taking snaps, this

627
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 4: coaching staff and their ability to adjust on the fly.

628
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 4: You can bet Jacksonville is and their fans are thinking, wow,

629
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 4: we better put the Bills away early because they make

630
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 4: second half adjustments. It's there's a lot in this and

631
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 4: I'm I'm perfect. I'm kind of excited about seeing the

632
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 4: Bills play. I'm in nice weather.

633
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, forecast for Sunday in Jacksonville is a high of

634
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: seventy two.

635
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: Let's go to Bill in Buffalo next. What's up, Billy?

640
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 8: the eyes when they had the video going. I want

641
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 8: to shout out to the Plagulas. They did an amazing job.

00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 8: in my life, and I want to say thank you,

646
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 8: thank you, thank you, and if you could please pass

647
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 8: it along to Ty Johnson. He threw the balls in

648
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 8: my nephew and then my nephew was so happy. He

649
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 8: ran back to his mom and Ty goes, where's the

650
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 8: birthday boy? Because it was his birthday and it was

651
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 8: his first game. And Ty just was like, where's the

652
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 8: birthday boy? And everybody called this, called Brian back down

653
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 8: to his field and Ty Johnson just handed the ball

654
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 8: to him and said happy birthday. And my god, that

655
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 8: was amazing.

656
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's quite a moment.

657
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah for being mine. Like I said, I

658
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 8: was there for the pile, I was there for the

659
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 8: opening of the rail, for the closing of the rail,

660
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 8: and that was my biggest moment of all time. That

661
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 8: was just so freaking cool.

662
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for sharing that one, Bill appreciate it.

663
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

664
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 2: Ty Johnson plays catch with a lot of the fans,

665
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: you know, prior to the game during pregame warmups, he'll

666
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: just toss a ball with some young kids in the

667
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: first couple of rows. So he must have done that yesterday.

668
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 2: I was down on the field briefly before the game,

669
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 2: and he was playing catch throwing the ball over my

670
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 2: head because I was closer to the wall. He was

671
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 2: out closer to the sidelines, so it must have happened

672
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 2: right where I was for a short period of time there.

673
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 4: So cool that Ty did that. And look at that.

674
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: Ty does a nice thing for a fan. What what

675
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: happens He ends up getting two touchdowns in the game.

676
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 4: There you go, look at that.

677
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 3: It all comes around Ron in Buffalo is next? What's up?

678
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 4: Ron?

679
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 9: Yeah?

680
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 6: How you doing?

681
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 5: I'm you know, why are we always having to go

682
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 5: down to Houston?

683
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 9: You know, is this gonna be another campas city thing?

684
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 10: We're always going down to Houston.

685
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe to come up to Buffalo and you know,

686
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 5: I'll face the weather.

687
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 10: Here.

688
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, and here's what here's the problem is Ron.

689
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 4: What happens is your team gets good and like you

690
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 4: draft a guy like Josh Allen, you hit on a

691
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 4: couple of draft picks, and you're going to reach a

692
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 4: level where you're always right there in contention or you're

693
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 4: you know, you're right there. And other teams go through

694
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 4: that cycle as well, where the Houston they get c. J. Stroud.

695
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 4: They got these pass rushers their defense, and they got

696
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 4: a head coach who's stable and and they're right there

697
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 4: as well, so you're you're always seeing them because they're

698
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,479
Speaker 4: in your conference and they have this They finished first

699
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 4: in the Bills won the division five times, So the

700
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 4: Chiefs won their division five times. So you're playing a

701
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 4: first place schedule, which means you play the other teams

702
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 4: that won the AFC divisions every year.

703
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 3: This year you finished in second place.

704
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 4: You finished in second place, and now you gotta play

705
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 4: Houston and you're gonna play Baltimore because they finished in second.

706
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 4: It's the same thing. Uh, And there's a formula for

707
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 4: how you know who you play when you play. It's

708
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 4: a rotational thing that you can anticipate years in advance.

709
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 4: You just don't know whether you're gonna be first or

710
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 4: fourth in your division.

711
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 2: And that's the difference, and that impacts three games on

712
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: your schedule because you play one entire division in your

713
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 2: own conference besides the division in which you play. You

714
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: play one entire division in the NFC, and those obviously

715
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 2: rotate every year, and then you have three other games

716
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: that are determined. The opponents are determined based on where

717
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: you finish, and for the Bills this year, they were

718
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: gonna play the second place team. In twenty twenty six,

719
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 2: they're gonna play the second place team in the AFC North,

720
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 2: the second place team in the AFC South, and the

721
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: second place team in the NFC West.

722
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 4: And the reason they play the NFC West not because

723
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 4: they're playing the entire AFC West. They're playing the whole division.

724
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 4: So you get the two other second place teams from

725
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 4: the from the South and the North, but you're playing

726
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 4: the whole division in the West.

727
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: And then your seventeenth game is your cross conference game

728
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: with a team that finished in the same spot as you.

729
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 4: That's the Rams right in the NFC. So it's a

730
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 4: formula that happens and your team gets good, another team

731
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 4: gets good, and you start seeing each other a bunch.

732
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 4: We did that in my they happened back in my

733
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 4: day teams, and that's why the rivalries get started. That's

734
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 4: why the Chiefs Bills is such a thing. They draft

735
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 4: Pat and the next year we draft Josh, and away

736
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 4: they go. These two teams start seeing each other because

737
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 4: they're winning the division. That's the way it works. And

738
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 4: now Houston has we wouldn't see Houston if the Bills

739
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 4: had beaten the Patriots here in week six five. I'm sorry,

740
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 4: in week five we'd beat the division champs and there

741
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 4: you'd be and we'd be playing Jacksonville.

742
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: Yep, gotta take a break when we come back. Got

743
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,959
Speaker 2: plenty more to give you, including the Numbers that Matter.

744
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: We've also got a caller on hold, John and Dunkirk

745
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: who will lead us off.

746

Speaker 4: Who has a interesting take.

747
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 2: On the power of God last night in Pittsburgh. We'll

748
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,440

00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: Numbers that Matter is presented by the New York Lottery.

750
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 2: The Bills closed the final regular season game at high

751
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 2: Mark Stadium with a thirty five to eight victory, improving

752
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 2: the team's record to two hundred and forty seven and

753
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 2: one sixty three in what has been their home stadium

754
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: since nineteen seventy three. That's a little bit better than

755
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 2: a sixty percent winning percentage. Got your lucky jersey on,

Speaker 2: text hope and why I will say the Bills current

760
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 2: iteration of the Bills you want to talk about up

761
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,760
Speaker 2: in that home record, I mean, they have the best

762
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 2: record since twenty twenty in division games in the entire league.

763
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 2: I think they're twenty eight and seven since twenty twenty

764
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 2: in division games. And then at home they have one

765
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 2: of the best records since twenty twenty. It might be

766
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 2: the best if I remember right.

767
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 4: So, yeah, it is. And they finished on a heater

768
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 4: these last five seasons in this building, so nice to

769
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 4: see that.

770
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to John in Dunkirk, who's got an interesting

771
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: story for us from last night's Sunday night game.

772
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 3: What do you got for us? John?

773
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 11: It was it was very interesting. I worked for NBC

774
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 11: the Sunday Night broadcast, and about six o'clock last night,

775
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 11: one of our low end zone cameramen caught this Catholic

776
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 11: priest bending down in the south end zone, which would

777
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 11: be screen left, and he was said a little prayer,

778
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 11: and then he got up and he just started to

779
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 11: sprinkle holy water all in that south end zone and

780
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 11: we just thought it was, Okay, that's an interesting, you

781
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 11: know shot, and we'll keep that in the hopper. And

782
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 11: then of course at the end of the game in

783
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 11: that very same end zone. Who would have expected that

784
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 11: kicker for Baltimore to have missed that kick? So I

785
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 11: know the Pittsburgh fans like to name their plays like

786
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 11: the Immaculate reception and stuff, so maybe this will be

787
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 11: the immaculate miskick. Can go down to their history.

788
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I leave it to the Rooney family, you know,

789
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: a family of Irish Catholics to bring in you know,

790
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 2: Father mulcahy to uh bless bless the end zone.

791
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 8: Well, anyway, got bills.

792
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 11: We had that NBC has the Super Bowl this year,

793
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 11: and uh man, it would be great to see uh

794
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 11: our bills in that Super Bowl on NBC. So I

795
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 11: have a good rest of your day.

796
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm into that. Thanks for the story, John.

797
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 4: I saw that. I was like, Okay, the Rooneys and

798
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 4: I don't I got to be on the hand of

799
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 4: I don't know that. I don't know that they don't

800
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 4: do that every game. I would doubt it. I don't know,

801
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 4: I don't no doubt it.

802
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 3: I don't bless it every game.

803
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised. I don't know if they do

804
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 4: any blessings do you need as many as you can

805
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 4: think about this.

806
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 2: When because some families do this, when you move into

807
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 2: a new home, you have your priests come in and

808
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 2: bless the house. Sure that only happens one time? Do

809
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: you really, I really need to bless your field?

810
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 4: Like every game, there's different people in the building. Man,

811
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 4: all right, different crowd every night.

812
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 2: I kind of chuckle at it. And then in that

813
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: same end zone, you know, that's where the kick is missed. Yeah,

814
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 2: so the hand of God push that ball?

815
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 4: Why to the right? Well if it well, yeah, the

816
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 4: Steelers missed one exact same way the other end. Yes,

817
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 4: you know, I mean so yeah, there you go.

818
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 3: People will attach to it what they want to attach

819
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 3: to it.

820
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 4: Take from that what you will.

821
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,800

00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 12: anyway to talk about uh the playoffs, you know, I

837
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 12: just want to know, uh, do the Bills really got

838
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 12: a good shot of beating uh Jacksonville because of Trevor

839
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 12: Morris is a hell of a quarterback. He's a hell

840
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 12: of a quarterback, you know, if they got a good

841
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 12: offensive line and you know there there are the defenses

842
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 12: up the power and you know, I just want to know,

843
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 12: do the Bills really got a good chance of beating Jacksonville?

844
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 12: And one more thing too. All the I know I've

845
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 12: seen all the I've seen all the firings of the

846
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 12: head coaches, you know, and the one that and the

847
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 12: one that really got me was it surprised me was

848
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 12: a Cleveland firing Kevin Stefanski. You know, because you know

849
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 12: Kevin Stefanski, you know, is a good coach. I do

850
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 12: believe that he won Coach of the year Coach of

851
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 12: the Year twice, Yes, sir, and but but I also

852
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 12: want to say, now, uh, you know, if the Bills

853
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 12: you know, dip their hand in the cookie jar, so

854
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 12: to speak, uh, do they really got a chance of

855
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 12: really getting one of these coaches to come in to

856
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 12: be like O C or or or or maybe a

857
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 12: defensive coordinator. You know, I just want to know that,

858
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 12: you know, I'll get you, guys up answers as I

859

Speaker 12: much love and God bless thanks Bobby.

861
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they're looking at that right now.

862
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 2: Do I expect Joe Brady to get head coaching interview requests?

863
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 4: Yes?

864
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: I don't think the Bills are focused on that right now, though,

865
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 2: you know, how to refortify the staff if they have

866
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 2: a loss or two to head coaching openings, of which

867
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: there are six. Now, yeah, that's not the focus right now.

868
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 2: The focus right now is all on Jacksonville and trying

869
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 2: to win that game.

870
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 4: That's kind of where they are right Yeah. I appreciate

871

873
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 4: The hat actually was my son's hat. We were walking

Speaker 3: the most part I did.

908
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 13: People were as you know, you talk on the sidelines

909
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 13: and you talk throughout the game to so many people

910
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,479
Speaker 13: about how emotional are you going to be for this game?

911
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 13: I kept telling people I feel okay about moving across

912
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 13: the street. You know, I've spent seven seasons in this stadium,

913
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 13: so thankful for those seasons, but excited for what's next.

914
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 13: I did say what is going to get me and

915
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 13: what always gets me? I'm not that nostalgic. I'm not

916
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 13: a sentimental person, but what makes me emotional is watching

917
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 13: other people get emotional.

918
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 3: Oh, so I said, you're the chain reaction.

919
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 4: The tasker cries, yeah, I'll say this what got me

920
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 4: is chain reaction. I've been you know, you can imagine

921
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 4: I've been down on that sidelines like a gazillion times,

Speaker 4: Brandon and you know Pete Gayley, they were all down there.

934
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 4: They're always down there. But man, oh man, I got

935
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 4: down there. It was I was like, I've been here.

936
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 4: I've been here. You know, the cops, you know, the security.

937
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 4: There was a little extra security.

938
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 2: You're thinking about coming on the field the pink twice

939
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 2: there people.

940
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 4: The people around the front row who you've seen it.

941
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 4: There's a lady there on the front. She showed me

942
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 4: a picture on in that seat where she was with me,

943
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 4: and I looked ten. It's how long it was. It

944
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 4: was all long ago? Was it was so long ago?

945
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 4: She would look at this picture on my and so yeah,

946
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 4: that kind of got me too. It is the people.

947
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 4: And you say, you know when other people start getting emotional,

948
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 4: you do too, And yeah, that was. It was quite

949
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 4: the reunion last night pregame before this.

950
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 13: I'm glad you were not in the booth for the

951
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 13: national anthem because if if he was next to me

952
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 13: for the national anthem, I would have I would have

953
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 13: had to turn the opposite direction because that's somebody's standing there.

954
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 13: You're thinking about the importance of the game, the magnitude

955
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 13: of the moment.

956
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, get a little reflective, Yeah, get cool with the

957
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 4: flyover to that was, oh my gosh, that caught me off.

958
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 2: Your two home games they had to scrap a flyover

959
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 2: because of the weather. Yeah, so it was nice that

960
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 2: the weather held off so they could fly those captains over.

961
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 3: But let's begin with the King Award.

962
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 13: James Cook is your rushing title. King finishes the regular

963
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 13: season leading the league with sixteen twenty one rushing yards,

964
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 13: the first Bill to do so since OJ Simpson did

965
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 13: it in nineteen seventy six, and Cook's fourth year, he

966
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 13: showed the NFL who he truly is. Cook has elite vision.

967
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 13: He plays like a two hundred and thirty pound running

968
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 13: back in a one hundred and ninety pound body. He

969
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 13: has a deep knowledge of the game, can morph into

970
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 13: a wide receiver when needed. So versatile and so hard

971
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 13: to scheme for. He made Buffalo's offense what it was

972
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,240
Speaker 13: in twenty twenty five, sixth best, averaging twenty eight points

973
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 13: per game. James Cook a big reason behind that.

974
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, that was we spoke about a little earlier. Yeah,

975
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 4: he swinging. Yes, it's a good thing. They put him

976
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 4: in for two carries, right, It was like whoo, it

977
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 4: would have been really close. But I I said this

978
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 4: earlier in the show. We were in the off season

979
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 4: getting into training camp and they were signed him. Were

980
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 4: they going to sign him to an extension? Was they

981
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 4: signed him to the extension? It's like it's like right now,

982
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 4: It's like, man, I know, what a what a job

983
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 4: I was getting him under contract for a year like.

984
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 13: That, and remember all the chatter in the off season

985
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 13: from everyone about different opinions of what he means to

986
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 13: Buffalo's offense, of Buffalo will be fine without him, the

987
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 13: Bills re sign him, and look at what he met

988
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,439
Speaker 13: to this offense this year.

989
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 4: I was a guy sitting here, but you know, not

990
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 4: this timeline. But like in a month a year ago,

991
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know, you don't want to.

992
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 4: I don't know if you really want to pay a

993
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 4: running back. I really don't. And that's what I said

994
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 4: all the way until late in the off season. I

995
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 4: went back and started watching games from last year after

996
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 4: the season, and I was like, I don't know, maybe not,

997
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 4: he might be pretty good.

998
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 2: I was banging the table for a while for that

999
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 2: to get Yeah, like after Josh, he's the most dynamic

1000
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: athlete on the roster, So I'm glad that he had

1001
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 2: good for him that he was able to get that

1002
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 2: rushing tight. Only heard Sean McDermott say after the game

1003
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 2: that they were kind of working their way through what

1004
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 2: his playing time would be. He said, initially I was

1005
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 2: thinking a quarter, and then I said, no, that's too long,

1006
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 2: And then he said that they came to an agreement

1007
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 2: that look James will let you run the ball until

1008
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 2: you are one hundred and fifty yards ahead of Derrick Henry.

1009
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 2: They came into the game, he was one hundred and

1010
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 2: thirty seven yards ahead of him. So after two carries

1011
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 2: for fifteen yards, he was one fifty two up. Out

1012
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 2: he came, he got the hook real fast and he

1013
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 2: understood it. He came to the sideline he was smiling,

1014
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 2: you know.

1015
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 3: Just enough to do it. Heck of a season.

1016
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 4: That's a great It gives you an idea. The conversation

1017
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 4: has to be had though. I mean mcderiay right, I'll

1018
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 4: give you one hundred and fifty yards. Yeah, but I

1019
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 4: mean that's it. I mean we and it's a sign

1020
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 4: of respect and love and admiration for James that the

1021
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 4: club feels he's so that important to what they're doing.

1022
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 4: And so it's it's hard to be upset if you're James.

1023
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's great.

1024
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 3: Let's move on to the Surgeon Award.

1025
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 13: Backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky was surgical with the way that

1026
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 13: he sliced through the Jets defense last night. Trubisky had

1027
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 13: a fantastic game. Through some dimes, his ball placement was

1028
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 13: immaculate with the way he fits some throws into tight windows.

1029
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 13: Finishes with a seventy six completion percentage, four passing touchdowns

1030
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 13: at a one two passer rating. I love that he

1031
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 13: had such a great performance in the final game of

1032
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 13: the regular season. It's Trubisky's third year with the Bills,

1033
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 13: and heading into the season, Trubisky said, I feel a

1034
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 13: lot more comfortable in this scheme and I feel good

1035
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 13: about my decision making this season. You could see that

1036
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 13: on display against the Jets.

1037
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. It was a great performance by Trubisky.

1038
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 4: I said this last night on the post game with

1039
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 4: Maddy Chris that you know that it's important for these

1040
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 4: guys to play well and you look good. But Trubisky

1041
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 4: looked like I mean, it gave you an idea of

1042
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 4: what he could look like with the team, a functional

1043
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 4: team around. Yeah, because it wasn't like, you know, he

1044
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,360
Speaker 4: had to I had tow ad lib and all that.

1045
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 4: Although he did a couple of he did once or twice.

1046
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 4: He made all the right decisions, made the right throws,

1047
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 4: read the defense, went to the right receiver. You know,

1048
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 4: he's he looked like a really good quarterback. Now the

1049
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 4: guy you can say what you want about both rosters

1050
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 4: around him. He had four backup offensive linemen in front

1051
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 4: of him, back up wide receivers, backup running back, the

1052
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 4: whole thing. But that's who they were playing against. But

1053
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 4: he looked like the best player on the field. That

1054
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 4: says something about where he's at as a quarterback. And certainly,

1055
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 4: I mean, you put him in a tight playoff game,

1056
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 4: might be it might look different. But so with the

1057
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 4: guys around him.

1058
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't terribly impressed with his arm strength last

1059
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 2: season in training camp, and then this year the difference

1060
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 2: looked like it was night and day. And Hard Knocks

1061
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 2: actually covered that and his process in the offseason. He

1062
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 2: was determined to reincorporate his hip drive into his throwing

1063
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 2: motion to get more power and velocity on his throw.

1064
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 2: And there was a meeting with that quarterback mechanics guru.

1065
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,280
Speaker 2: Josh and Mitch are in a room with Shane Bouchelle

1066
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 2: and this guy and they're showing the results based on

1067
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 2: what they were getting, you know, in a throwing session,

1068
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 2: and he's complimenting Trubisky, telling him, look, you got five

1069
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,399
Speaker 2: more miles per hour on your ball, and you could

1070
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 2: see it on the practice field during training camp, and

1071
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 2: it was nice to still see that it's there in

1072
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 2: the game last night because he was Dottinamtam.

1073
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 13: I loved how, in addition to having such a great

1074
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 13: game going into the game, Trubisky wanted to know every

1075
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 13: single player incentive that could hit and wanted to make

1076
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 13: sure he helped out his teammates.

1077
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 14: And a few of those did hit.

1078
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, Da daw Ty Johnson too, So.

1079
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 14: It was great to see that as well.

1080
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 13: Trubisky said heading into the ear, I want to have

1081
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 13: more rotations on the football, Like you said that his velocity.

1082
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 13: Doing that in your ninth year isn't easy to kind

1083
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 13: of reconstruct those things, but Trubisky has done a fantastic

1084
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 13: job doing that.

1085
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,919
Speaker 3: Go to the can't be stopped Award.

1086
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 13: Bill's running back Ray Davis could be stopped against the Jets,

1087
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 13: a career game for him, the first game he's gone

1088
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 13: over one hundred rushing yards. Finishes with one fifty one.

1089
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 13: Did a great job of showcasing his physicality and speed.

1090
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:15,240
Speaker 13: Was a bruiser out there. Averaged seven point two yards

1091
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,439
Speaker 13: per Carrie. That is a fat number. I love how

1092
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 13: he finishes the regular season off having a great game

1093
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,919
Speaker 13: on the ground when his role all season has been

1094
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 13: kick returner. Probably not the easiest thing to do all

1095
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 13: year when your rookie year. You have a great campaign

1096
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 13: and James Cook is running the rock a lot in

1097
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 13: his second season, so he shifts over to being a

1098
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 13: really good kick returner for Buffalo. But I love that

1099
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 13: they give him an opportunity against the Jets to finish

1100
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 13: the regular season.

1101
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 4: Well, not only they give him the opportunity, but he

1102
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,439
Speaker 4: really exploits it. I mean, he's hard to imagine having

1103
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 4: a better game than the one he did. Twenty one carries.

1104
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 4: The offensive line deserves kudos as well.

1105
00:57:56,160 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 3: But a line that was largely second stringers, Torrance was

1106
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 3: the only starter.

1107
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 4: In the lineup. Exactly what you wanted to see from

1108
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 4: him yesterday, and that was a career high for him

1109
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 4: as well, the one hundred and fifty one yards.

1110
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 3: So congrats to him the top Billing award.

1111
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 13: As the Bills finish up the regular season, more records

1112
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 13: hit because that just makes sense for the Bills with

1113
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 13: Josh Allen and Sean McDermott. With the win over the Jets,

1114
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 13: Josh Allen now has ninety five in his first eight seasons,

1115
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 13: now becomes the fourth quarterback to hit at least that number,

1116
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 13: joining quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, and Russell Wilson.

1117
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 13: Great company to be in, and for Sean McDermott, he

1118
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 13: now has twelve wins in four different seasons, the first

1119
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 13: Bills head coach to ever do so. The Bills have

1120
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 13: made it to the playoffs in seven out of the

1121
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 13: eight years since drafting Josh Allen Alan and McDermott a

1122
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 13: huge reason behind their success.

1123
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no question about it. Yeah, it's great. And

1124
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 4: this is getting to the point where it's just another

1125
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 4: week with Josh at quarterback, right.

1126
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 13: I know he took one snap in that game, but

1127
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 13: hey counts as a wine.

1128
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 4: He'll take Mitch to a steak dinner.

1129
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 3: Yes after that.

1130
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 4: Pretty sure they would have played maybe as well with

1131
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 4: Josh taken every snap, but maybe not. I don't doubt it.

1132
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. The Tone Ceter Award.

1133
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 13: The tone setter for last night's game. It goes to

1134
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 13: Bill's Mafia. They were the tone setter. I took a

1135
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 13: lap around the field before the game started, just looking

1136
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 13: out into the crowd.

1137
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 15: Who is there?

1138
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 4: Early?

1139
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 13: The place was buzzing. I loved looking at the amazing

1140
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 13: signs about it being the last game in high Mark Stadium.

1141
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 13: You could see how much this game meant to our

1142
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 13: fan base. I love that they were loud, soaked up

1143
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 13: the moment. It was full of laughter and tears, memories,

1144
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 13: all the good stuff they made Himark Stadium what it was.

1145
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 13: I go back to the COVID year where we didn't

1146
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 13: have fans and it felt eerie playing in hei Mark Stadium.

1147
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 3: Having the fans.

1148
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,919
Speaker 13: There how special and without them wouldn't be the same.

1149
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 4: That you could feel it out in the parking lots

1150
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 4: and their build up to the game outside where fans

1151
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 4: were tailgating. Brownie and I went out and shot some

1152
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 4: tailgates yesterday for the tailgate tag along. I stayed out

1153
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 4: there and touched base with some familiar faces that I

1154
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 4: go to and say hello to. And you could really

1155
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 4: feel the crush of everybody wanting to get the last

1156
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 4: tailgate in for that game. You could feel it everywhere

1157
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 4: on the property, everywhere on campus there. It was crowded.

1158
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 4: People were energy, you know, really high energy. You could

1159
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 4: feel this was a special event. Even though you know

1160
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 4: they're headed the playoffs and we've seen other things like that.

1161
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 4: This was a big game. This was not just the

1162
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 4: regular season finale with the backups playing. There was something

1163
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 4: extra in it for the fans. You could feel it

1164
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 4: out on campus. It was it was a special day

1165
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 4: and it was pretty cool.

1166
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 2: I think everybody was doing their best to try to

1167
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 2: be a sponge. They just wanted to soak up every

1168
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 2: ounce of what the whole day was going to be.

1169
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 2: And the fact that it was a four to twenty

1170
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 2: five game, I think gave.

1171
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 4: More of a lead up. It's a great point to

1172
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 4: everything too.

1173
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean people were here early.

1174
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 2: I know the thirty of lots don't open until four

1175
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 2: hours before kickoff, but people in the satellite lots, I

1176
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 2: mean they're setting up at eight thirty in the morning

1177
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 2: for a four to twenty five game.

1178
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 3: They wanted people to.

1179
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 4: Be here early and make the most of the entire day.

1180
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 4: People showing up yesterday and that kind of stuff. It was.

1181
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 4: It was quite the day. And yeah, you're right, Maddy,

1182
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 4: the Mafius deserves a shadow.

1183
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 13: The Sanctuary Award Heimark Stadium was vibrating yesterday her final

1184
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 13: game of her fifty two years of life. While the

1185
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 13: stadium doesn't have feelings, we do have feelings. For the stadium.

1186
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 13: It was a sanctuary to so many people over the years.

1187
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 13: It was a place to forget about your problems in

1188
01:01:55,880 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 13: life and enjoy some entertainment and smile. I alos thinks

1189
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 13: to the players, the games, the moments. Heimark Stadium was

1190
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 13: so good to us, and we're gonna remember her for

1191
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 13: all those memories.

1192
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they it's I think in other cities, people

1193
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 4: go to these games and they like and they're looking

1194
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 4: forward to seeing their team play, and they should. I mean,

1195
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 4: it's a the NFL is a phenomenal sports league. People

1196
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 4: in Buffalo and with this high Mark Stadium, they look

1197
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 4: forward to going and being there with the fans like

1198
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 4: they were yesterday outside the stadium and inside. It's an

1199
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 4: experience for everybody. It's the experience of being there with

1200
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 4: the fans is as much of an experience as the game. Yeah,

1201
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 4: they look forward to being there with the rest of

1202
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 4: the mafia. I think so in a way that nobody

1203
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 4: else know their fan base does.

1204
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 2: Like I was trying to think, you know where else

1205
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 2: has something like this transpired where you could see the

1206
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 2: emotion And the only thing that I think might exceed

1207
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 2: yesterday is when the poor fans of the Cleveland Browns

1208
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 2: had to say goodbye to their team the first time.

1209
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 2: And what was that nineteen ninety five five and it's

1210
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 2: the last.

1211
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 3: Home game before everybody knows they're moving to Baltimore, and

1212
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 3: that I mean you, that was like a funeral.

1213
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 2: It was brutal just watching Browns fans hugging players, players

1214
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 2: hugging people in the first row.

1215
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 4: I mean, it was just so sad.

1216
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 2: It was just uugh, right, and it was that was

1217
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 2: a little different. It was certainly more emotional than yesterday.

1218
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 4: They were leaving that stadium that everybody.

1219
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 2: Was so happy to see well right, but also not

1220
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,439
Speaker 2: knowing if they would ever have NFL football again. That's

1221
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 2: what made it such an horrible day for them.

1222
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 4: The Browns were going to go someplace and be somebody else.

1223
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 4: They weren't even going to be the Cleveland Browns anymore.

1224
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 4: It was just the team was going away. I was, yeah,

1225
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 4: that's right, it's the only topper.

1226
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:51,400
Speaker 1: I think.

1227
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 4: That's right. Interesting day yesterday because of all of that

1228
01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 4: and all the the stadium has meant fifty years. It's

1229
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 4: like two generations of human beings and the people who

1230
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 4: were old and that's team. Remember the Rock pile and

1231
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 4: you know how it's passed down. This isn't This isn't

1232
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 4: like at and T Stadium in Dallas. I mean this

1233
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 4: is this is like this is a family gathering, you know.

1234
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, every week there's not too much And the

1235
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 4: stadium says it. It's not too much glitz and glamour

1236
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 4: in that place, right, It's concrete and steel. Yep, it's

1237
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 4: an it's blue collar all the way. It's like an

1238
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 4: old colisseum. You just show up, right, there's no there's

1239
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 4: no red carpet in there, right, So it's it was

1240
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 4: a place where you went and you were with you

1241
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 4: people you cared about and watching the team you cared about. It.

1242
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 4: It was a different kind of atmosphere and congratulations to

1243
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 4: the mafia making it like that.

1244
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 13: And reflecting on the moment yesterday, I know it would

1245
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 13: have been incredible for this game to be for the

1246
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 13: a FC East or a one seed or something like that.

1247
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 13: But if it was for that, you would have it

1248
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 13: would be split in terms of feelings for the last

1249
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 13: regular season game at high Mark Stadium. And then there

1250
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 13: is so much on the line for a game like this.

1251
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,959
Speaker 13: The starters could rest the bills already punched their ticket

1252
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 13: to the playoffs. Yes, they could move up in seeding,

1253
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 13: but it wasn't insane how they could move. And so

1254
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:31,160
Speaker 13: you truly got a moment in time where you could

1255
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 13: just soak it up, party, smile, and if the Bills

1256
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:39,439
Speaker 13: are somehow back there for the AFC Championship game, fine,

1257
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 13: you've already sent it off the right way and and

1258
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 13: there can be a lot on the line.

1259
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 4: In that gravy. Yeah, yeah, it's good that it was

1260
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 4: the focus.

1261
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 2: The closing of the stadium was the focus yesterday, not

1262
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 2: the game, and I think that was in this particular

1263
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 2: instance one appropriate. And kudos to the Bills players for

1264
01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 2: getting up twenty one nothing on the scoreboard early so

1265
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 2: the hardy could start early as well and everybody could

1266
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 2: just kind of breathe and celebrate and take the time

1267
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 2: to kind of, you know, look around, take it all

1268
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 2: in and not worry about the other things that most

1269
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 2: of us worry about on the game day.

1270
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 3: So good job with the awards, Mattie.

1271

Speaker 2: nine to nothing.

1284
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 4: Bills, you think Gabe gets activated because he played in

1285
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 4: Jacksonville last week last year. I think he comes back

1286
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 4: and says, all right, here we go. That's juicy. It

1287
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 4: is kind of juicy.

1288
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 3: I don't know you've what do you have on the

1289
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 3: roster right now? In terms of receivers, you have Shakir Cooks, Coleman, Davis, Palmer,

1290
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 3: I'm missing somebody.

1291
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 4: Shavers Shavers. Shaves.

1292
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 3: Shavers did not play yesterday.

1293
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 2: Shakiir did not play yesterday, and Cooks did not play yesterday.

1294
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 4: And they will all be up next week. And god,

1295
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 4: Gabe Davis did play a lot yesterday, which might tell

1296
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 4: you where he's at, right, I mean, or does it?

1297
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 2: I would expect in a playoff game Davis to be up.

1298
01:07:55,680 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 2: He's got playoff experience, he knows that team very well

1299
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,919
Speaker 2: and their personnel. So yeah, that's a valid point, Steve. Yeah,

1300
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 2: I would expect him to be up this week against the.

1301
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 4: Jack maybe, But who goes down then who's Well, he

1302
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 4: would only be five because it's you know, Shakiir is

1303
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 4: going to be up, Brandon.

1304
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 2: Cook, Davis, So I don't know. Maybe Palmer is your five.

1305
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 4: Yeah that's that's five guys. Yeah, Keon sits down again? Yeah, okay, yeah,

1306
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 4: you're probably right. I bet it is. But yeah, I

1307
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 4: think Gabe and Brandon.

1308
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:35,799
Speaker 2: Cooks Josh trusts him, so it would point in his direction.

1309
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:36,599
Speaker 4: I would agree with you.

1310
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 3: Uh, let's go to Bob in Orchard Park. What do

1311
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 3: you got for his?

1312
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 4: Bob?

1313
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 6: Guys, thanks a lot protecting my call. I wanted to

1314
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 6: give a huge thank you to Steve for stopping at

1315
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 6: my house at the tailgate. I'm right across from the

1316
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 6: what is now the old Stadium and directly across from

1317
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 6: it on twenty a and you stopped by on the

1318
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 6: golf cart and I was actually in my back lot,

1319
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 6: so I didn't get to see you, but my wife

1320
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 6: did and you took a picture with her, and that's

1321
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 6: all she talked about the whole rest of the day.

1322
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 6: She said that was the one of her highlights of

1323
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 6: the year. And that's saying a lot, because my wife

1324
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 6: and I celebrated our fiftieth anniversary this year at the

1325
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay at the Tampa Bay game, and I was

1326
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 6: trying to figure a way to get you to come

1327
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,719
Speaker 6: to visit our tailgate on that day, but I couldn't

1328
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 6: figure out how to connect you with that. But I

1329
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 6: wanted to thank you a lot for stopping for the tailgate.

1330
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 6: I actually met you many years ago, Steve, during the

1331
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 6: strike year. I believe it was the eighty seven. You

1332
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 6: were actually across from my house on the strike line.

1333
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:03,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I came over before.

1334
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1335
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 6: I talked to you guys and brought your coffee and donuts,

1336
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 6: and so you know that that was cool. I did

1337
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 6: have a question, a football related question. I'm pretty sure

1338
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 6: I know the answer to it, but uh, seeing that

1339
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:26,679
Speaker 6: Praters uh hurt at right now, is it at all

1340
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 6: possible for the Bills to sign a punter. That's with

1341
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 6: a team that didn't make the playoffs.

1342
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 4: No, no, because they're under count but yeah, no, he

1343
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 4: can't do That's.

1344
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,799
Speaker 6: What I Yeah, I assumed that, but it'd be awesome

1345
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 6: if they could.

1346
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 4: Trade for Yeah, thanks Bob for the call.

1347
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. We got a lot of people holding, so

1348
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 2: we got to move along here. But yeah, it's it's

1349
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:59,600
Speaker 2: not an ideal situation here, but I would anticipate the

1350
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:01,639
Speaker 2: Bills will be trying out some kickers again today.

1351
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 3: They tried out three kickers last week.

1352
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 2: Because I think they were going to move on from

1353
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 2: badgely if Prater couldn't kick again against the Jets. But

1354
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,719
Speaker 2: then Prater was fit enough to kick. Unfortunately he reinjures

1355
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:17,679
Speaker 2: himself and now they're back to square one again.

1356
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, that eighty seven players strike. It's interesting you

1357
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 4: oh the hat I wore Yesterda. We were talking about

1358
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 4: my son who gave me his hat, Poor Bob, Bob

1359
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 4: uh my son deeped the one who gave me the

1360
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 4: hat yesterday. I was born right before right at the plate,

1361
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 4: eighty seven players strike?

1362
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 3: Oh wow?

1363
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 4: Was he born?

1364
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, poor Bob, like, first of all,

1365
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 2: he misses you because he's in the house. He never

1366
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 2: saw you come by. Number two. His wife said, it's

1367
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 2: the highlight of her year. On the same year they're

1368
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,679
Speaker 2: celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. Poor Bob is second fiddle

1369
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 2: to Steve Tasker. I mean, what the hell, man, fifty

1370
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 2: years apparently counts for nothing. No, no, Bob, I'm just

1371
01:11:57,960 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 2: messing with Bob.

1372
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, his wife had Bob to share all that with.

1373
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. Nice, safe, Let's go to a Miran in Virginia.

1374
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 6: What's up, Miron, Hi, John, thanks for taking my call.

1375
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 16: I'm just I was just looking through some of you know,

1376
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 16: we're playing Jackson. I was looking through some of their

1377
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 16: statistics and it seems like they have the number one

1378
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,560
Speaker 16: run defense, is a pretty good linebackers and also a

1379
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 16: really good at.

1380
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,680
Speaker 10: Ed rusher and Josh Allen Hines, Josh.

1381
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 14: Heinz Allen, what do you think we can do in the.

1382
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,799
Speaker 5: Run games kind of neutralize their linebackers and their defensive

1383
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 5: line and you know, open things up for James Cook

1384
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:32,600
Speaker 5: And you know, given that we have, that's one of

1385
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 5: our strengths and that's one of their strengths on defense.

1386
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 11: Thanks guys.

1387
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good question, because it's the number one

1388
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 2: rushing offense of the Bills against the number one run

1389
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 2: defense in football. Jacksonville gives up eighty five yards on

1390
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 2: the ground, and the last time the Bills faced a

1391
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 2: run defense this good was when they played New England

1392
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 2: in Week five and that was tough sledding. So yeah,

1393
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm very curious. I'm not going to pretend to know

1394
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 2: what the game plan is against that group. Obviously the

1395
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 2: Bills know their personnel better than we do, but you

1396
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 2: can't not run the ball. I think there's gonna be

1397
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 2: a lot of under center play action in this game

1398
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 2: to get those linebackers to cheat up and respect James Cook.

1399
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 2: And I think that group's gonna be motivated because they're

1400
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 2: going against the guy that just won the rushing title.

1401
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 2: They're gonna be motivated to stop him, neutralize him, knowing

1402
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 2: that it makes life very difficult for the Bills to

1403
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 2: score points when you slow him down.

1404
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:27,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly he's gonna be the focal point, and you know,

1405
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 4: that's why the Bills are a tough out. So they're

1406
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 4: gonna spend some expend some energy and some time taking

1407
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 4: away the you know, the league leading rusher in the

1408
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 4: regular season, maybe they'll forget about the defending MVP taking snaps,

1409
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 4: you know. I mean, that's it's a two headed monster.

1410
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 4: The Bills have got some guys. It's a tough team

1411
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 4: to beat. I've said it before that there are a

1412
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:58,639
Speaker 4: lot of teams probably would put Buffalo at the bottom

1413
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 4: of the list of teams they want on a face, right,

1414
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 4: and at the top of the list of teams they

1415
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 4: don't want to see. Buffalo is pretty near the top

1416
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 4: of that list. So I'm you know, there might be

1417
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 4: some other teams out there the teams would have second

1418
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:15,920
Speaker 4: thoughts about facing Buffalo's got to be one of those.

1419
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 4: Josh is a problem, and so is James Cook in

1420
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 4: the offensive line. This is a team that is a

1421
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 4: tough It's gonna be tough to beat him. Doesn't mean

1422
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 4: we've seen it happen. The Chiefs do it have you know,

1423
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 4: have done it like figurecoats every year. Right, But Bills

1424
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 4: are tough. Yeah, the Bills are tough, but so is Jacksonville.

1425
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 4: They are smoking hot right now. They are really clicking offensively.

1426
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 4: One eight in a row. They have won eight in

1427
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 4: a row, nine of their last ten. They're they're humming

1428
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 4: and their defense is a reason why. So it's gonna

1429
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 4: be hard for the Bills to hang a lot of

1430
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:54,640
Speaker 4: points on these guys.

1431
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 2: Let's go to John and Hamburg next. What's up John?

1432
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 2: Johnny with us?

1433
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 9: Yes, I'm here?

1434
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you got for us?

1435
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:04,680
Speaker 4: You're on?

1436
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 9: Am I losing my mind? Or last week? I heard

1437
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 9: fourteen thousand times that the first game played in the

1438
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 9: stadium was the Jets in the regular season. In the

1439
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 9: regular season, but they didn't say that. They said the

1440
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 9: first game. The first game was against Washington and Herb

1441
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 9: Maulkay ran the opening first kickoff in the stadium back

1442
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 9: for a touchdown.

1443
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 16: Am I right?

1444
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 4: Yes, you a correct?

1445
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 2: Ye?

1446
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 9: Okay, thank you, I'm not insane. Okay, thank you very much.

1447
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 3: You're glad we could corroborate that for you. Yeah, the

1448
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 3: Redskins were coming off of Yeah.

1449
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 4: In fact, I don't even think there was any kind

1450
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 4: of event before the first preseason game, so it's not

1451
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 4: like there was a rock concert in there, so I

1452
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 4: could get it greased and greased the skids for the

1453
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 4: crowd control, the traffic and all of that that pre game.

1454
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 4: The treat the preseason game was the first one and there.

1455
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 4: They are thinking that the first event in the new

1456
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 4: high Mark is going to be some sort of concert,

1457
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 4: so they can kind of, you know what I mean,

1458
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 4: kind of break the seal on the new play, you know,

1459
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 4: take the wrapper off, so they can try it with

1460
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 4: a smaller, more manageable group than you know, a first

1461
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 4: game out of the box, sixty two thousand people flowing

1462
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 4: into that place. So, yeah, you're right. There was a

1463
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,640
Speaker 4: preseason game in Washington. I took a picture yesterday with

1464
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 4: those same buddies of mine that hopped the fence when

1465
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 4: they were kids there. The guy's dad had a sign

1466
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 4: that was a mock up of a ticket said first

1467
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 4: game ever Washington, had the date and the time, and

1468
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 4: believe it was in a wooden sign. They couldn't get

1469
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 4: into the stadium now with a wooden sign, right, It

1470
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 4: was a wooden sign, had the date and the time.

1471
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 4: He goes, yeah, it was hanging in my dad's house

1472
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 4: in his garage for fifty plus years, and they sold

1473
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 4: the house and it was there. Then his brother said

1474
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:10,680
Speaker 4: I better take that, and he took it out of

1475
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 4: the old house and stuck in his garage and they

1476
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 4: pulled it out yesterday and then they made a new

1477
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 4: one with the old the last game. So we took

1478
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,839
Speaker 4: a picture with the old sign. That's cool. It's literally

1479
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 4: fifty plus years old and the news sign as well,

1480
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 4: so good stuff. You can't get that stuff into the

1481
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 4: stadium anymore. You can got to bring it on a

1482
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:30,440
Speaker 4: sheet or something. It was our piece of plywood.

1483
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's like a check presets and it was.

1484
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 4: It was because it was the Washington game that was

1485
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 4: commemorated on that on that old sign, because that was

1486
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 4: the first game, not the first, first preseason.

1487
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 3: So Aaron out in Oregon? What's up Aeron?

1488
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,679
Speaker 17: Hey here, it's happy victory Monday. That was a fun game.

1489
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 17: I wanted to first day that it was perfect. When

1490
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 17: Steve dropped the mic like, hey, that's the last time

1491
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 17: we're doing that here and he dropped the mic, that

1492
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 17: was that was perfect piece. Thanks, And I also want

1493
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 17: up to see were there any old AFL players. I

1494
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 17: know there was a bunch of alumni there and you

1495
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 17: took a picture. Was there any AFL guys or was

1496
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 17: it all you know, younger guys than that?

1497
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 4: Anybody? Steve? The oldest guy there was Joe Joe Dan.

1498
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 3: Who was a third round pick in nineteen seventy or

1499
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 3: first round pick in nineteen seventy three.

1500
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and his Yeah, he and Joe Ferguson got drafted together,

1501
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,719
Speaker 4: and he tells the story. He told he's he wanted

1502
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 4: to be the first guy down there with Joe Ferguson

1503
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 4: and then walking out of the tunnel when it opened,

1504
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 4: those two guys walked out together in the tunnel. So

1505
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 4: there's all the there's all the dudes that were there,

1506
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 4: you know, and there's Brad Lamb on the fart left there,

1507
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 4: and Steve Christie of course, Darryl Jeff Nixon's in there.

1508
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 3: So there's malarial sighting.

1509
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 4: Look at that. Yeah, there you go from the draft.

1510
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 4: It was Thurm's idea for us all to come in

1511
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 4: and huddle up, you know. So it's good on him

1512
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 4: that he thought about that. What did he say, everybody

1513
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 4: huddle up in there? Yeah? How to let me get

1514
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 4: sent to three bills and three go bills?

1515
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 3: So nice, very cool. Yeah. Uh, let's go to Mike

1516
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:08,560
Speaker 3: and Syracuse.

1517
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 4: What do you got for his? Mike?

1518
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 18: Hi, Chris, I see if you guys doing it good? Yeah,

1519
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 18: I just had to call a couple of quick comments

1520
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,879
Speaker 18: about the game. I really really enjoyed. I attended yesterday.

1521
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 18: I actually just got back to Syracuse traveling. Just a

1522
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 18: couple of really cool moments, and when I was comment

1523
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 18: on you guys touched on the majority of it. I thought,

1524
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 18: one really cool thing about the game as you guys

1525
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 18: touched on Thurman Thomas, Uh, he was wear of Bruce

1526
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 18: Smith's jersey, which I thought was just a classic move.

1527
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 3: Did we lose Mike there?

1528
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 4: I think we think we might have lost Mike dem Uh, yeah,

1529
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 4: are you there?

1530
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 3: Mike still got a bad connection there, Sorry, Mike.

1531
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:56,639
Speaker 4: Thurd wore than. Yeah, because Bruce couldn't be here. He's

1532
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 4: dealing with some health issues and it's going well, he's

1533
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 4: he's doing good. So there's that. But he couldn't he

1534
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 4: couldn't travel to the game. Uh, just the timing of

1535
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 4: it wasn't right. And so Therm and for his jersey,

1536
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 4: bless his heart. So great move by Therm, I thought, I,

1537
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 4: you know, we had we had like literally had a

1538
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 4: thirty second con not even a thirty second conversation. I

1539
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 4: and I deferred, you know, to the Hall of Famer, said, dude,

1540
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,320

1594
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 4: don't believe me. It's true. I was. I was a

1595
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 4: late bloomer, and it was only you know, after I

1596
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 4: got to be about thirty five that I stopped getting

1597
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:26,519

01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was a common occurrence that I just

1600
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 4: a very old. But you know, it took a long

1601
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 4: time for me to grow out of my youthful looks.

1602
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:40,639
Speaker 4: And I was in a very big guy. In fact, yesterday,

1627
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:08,200

Speaker 2: wide opening the end zone under the goalposts, Yeah, he

1630
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 2: could have. Trubisky could have picked it either tight end

1631
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 2: and it would have been an easy touchdown. So yeah,

1632

1647
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 19: one of the shovelers. Got the shovel high Mark. That

1648
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:00,520
Speaker 19: was incredible all days Saturday.

1649
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 20: Then we go to a Buffalo bandits game later that night,

1650
01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 20: so I'm already exhausted. Then we wake up at six

1651
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 20: am the next day and go tailgate all day and

1652
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:11,479
Speaker 20: then go to the game, and just from from one

1653
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 20: thing to the next, I mean, the hospitality, the people.

1654
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:17,639
Speaker 19: The crowd, everything is just I'd call it fifteen out

1655
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:22,599
Speaker 19: of ten, brilliant, beautiful. But I wanted to say Steve.

1656
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 20: I have a Steve Tasker jersey I wear pretty much

1657
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 20: every game. But as I'm walking into the stadium yesterday,

1658
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 20: I have a few pocket beers and every time I

1659
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 20: saw someone else wearing a Steve Tasker jersey, they got

1660
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:35,719
Speaker 20: a free.

1661
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 19: Beer from me on the way in. So it's made

1662
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 19: it easy to see. But then I had one question

1663
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 19: for you guys.

1664
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 20: You know they have the Ring of Honor and high

1665
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 20: mark right now, but I've seen the renderings of the

1666
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 20: new stadium. I don't see the numbers. I want to

1667
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 20: make sure that Steve's number gets put back up there.

1668
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 20: So if you can tell me anything about that, I'll

1669
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 20: hang up and listen, but appreciate you voice.

1670
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 4: I think that I think I'm not sure. I can't

1671
01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 4: be honest. I think they're going to do they are

1672
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 4: going to I memorate the guys who are on the

1673
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 4: Wall of Fame in Old high Mark, and I think

1674
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 4: it's going to be in one of the concourses. Are

1675
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 4: going to have an area. I'm not sure. I'm not

1676
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 4: sure they will commemorate them in some way, somehow, some way,

1677
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 4: shape or form, and I can't I do not know

1678
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 4: how that's gonna be. I don't think they're gonna put

1679
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 4: them on the inside of the ring out where. But

1680
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be an area. But I don't

1681
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:22,960
Speaker 4: know if that's the case or not. I may be wrong.

1682
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 2: I think we can confidently say there will be recognition

1683
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 2: of the Wall of Famers. We just don't know what

1684
01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 2: that's going to look like or where that's going to

1685
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 2: be located in the new stadium at this time.

1686
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:36,839
Speaker 3: Richard in Hamburg, what's up? Richard?

1687

01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 21: long time. I had my dad. I had the privilege

1691
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 21: of my dad getting me and my brother tickets eighty

1692
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 21: nine to ninety nine and the tunnel end zone seats

1693
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 21: rolled nine and ten, And it was just great because

1694
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 21: you were right next to the players when they come

1695
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 21: in and Steve I see him many times. It's pretty cool.

1696
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,719
Speaker 21: You're a a good one. I caught James Often's glove.

1697
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:03,799
Speaker 21: A couple of cool things, you know. I've seen Brian

1698
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,719
Speaker 21: Cox when he was being a jerk, throwing water bottles

1699
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 21: in front of and the women in front of me

1700
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 21: and stuff like that. And then a couple of experiences

1701
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:14,559
Speaker 21: like O. J. Simpson the one playoff game where they

1702
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 21: took pictures of Brunal Mogley's shoes. I shook hands with him.

1703
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 21: I was about fourteen years old. I shook hands with

1704
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:22,519
Speaker 21: the guy and he had I turned to my brother,

1705
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:25,040
Speaker 21: I'm like, oh man, he had like weird skin. And

1706
01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:27,439
Speaker 21: what it was is his gloves were so tight to

1707
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 21: his skin. I should have been in that trial anyway. Yeah,

1708
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 21: it's pretty crazy, right, pretty crazy. They missed the opportunity

1709
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 21: to get me out there. But anyway, and then one

1710
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:39,600
Speaker 21: of the other ones is Ricky Ricky Williams when he

1711
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:41,599
Speaker 21: played with Miami and the Snow it was like forty

1712
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 21: four to thirty four. I don't know something, We're real close.

1713
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 3: That was the little Snow game.

1714
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 4: I think.

1715
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 21: Yeah, just started rolling in, just rolling in.

1716
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 10: It was crazy.

1717
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,639
Speaker 21: And it was great because Ricky Williams at the game said, oh,

1718
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:54,679
Speaker 21: he had a great game, and they said, why would

1719
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 21: you like it. He's like, well, because I've never played

1720
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 21: in snow on from Texas and he just did great.

1721
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,920
Speaker 21: And then tons of con concerts, you know, Grateful Dead,

1722
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 21: Guns n' Roses, front Row Center, all kinds of stuff

1723
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 21: like that and just great times. And just wanted to

1724
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 21: say appreciate my dad for getting me the tickets and

1725
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 21: getting me into the football and my brothers and all that,

1726
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 21: and we had great time storming the field versus the

1727
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:14,280
Speaker 21: Jets and the Dolphins.

1728
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 22: Great time.

1729
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,559
Speaker 3: All right, Thanks Richard for all those memories that you shared.

1730
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:20,439
Speaker 4: The best part about it is in fact your dad

1731
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:22,839
Speaker 4: got them for you and have him for ten years.

1732
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 4: That's that's awesome. And that's that's the quintessential Buffalo experience

1733
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:27,720
Speaker 4: right there.

1734
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's really what it's all about. And you know,

1735
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 2: we tried to encapsulate that. At the close of the

1736
01:29:35,280 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 2: radio broadcast last night after the game was over, Eric

1737
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 2: and I were going back and forth because the Jacksonville

1738
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 2: or i'm sorry, the Denver Chargers game had not yet ended,

1739
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 2: and we were trying to extend the postgame until that

1740
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,200
Speaker 2: went final, so we could definitively say the Bills were

1741
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:54,799
Speaker 2: headed to Jacksonville, but we had to pull the ripcord

1742
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 2: on that, and then it was time to sign off

1743
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:02,880
Speaker 2: and get of the stadium. A proper sendoff. I know

1744
01:30:02,920 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 2: some people have asked how it sounded. We have the

1745
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:09,200
Speaker 2: opportunity to present that to you now as we wind

1746
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 2: down the final seconds here of this last regular season

1747
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 2: game broadcast. We want to take time to recognize and

1748
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,880
Speaker 2: acknowledge the countless number of families and friends that have

1749
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:23,720
Speaker 2: spent many Sundays, Monday nights, and Thursday nights here over

1750
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 2: the years. You chose this place High Mark Stadium as

1751
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:34,599
Speaker 2: your destination to tailgate together, share meals together, celebrate together,

1752
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 2: and at times suffer together. Moms and dads shared many

1753
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:43,000
Speaker 2: days with sons and daughters. Grandparents and grandkids enjoyed a

1754
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 2: common bond of the Bills here despite the generation gap.

1755
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 2: Strangers that sat next to one another became acquaintances over

1756
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:55,839
Speaker 2: the course of an afternoon season ticket neighbors became friends

1757
01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:59,599
Speaker 2: with the same face as they saw here. Season after season,

1758
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 2: some families went wire to wire From August nineteen seventy

1759
01:31:04,280 --> 01:31:08,719
Speaker 2: three through to January twenty twenty six. We all braved

1760
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 2: weather here that only places like Chicago, Cleveland, and Green

1761
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:17,800
Speaker 2: Bay can say hits the same. No one's game attendance

1762
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:21,439
Speaker 2: story is any better than anyone else's because what high

1763
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 2: Mark Stadium has always been to the people of Western

1764
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:28,320
Speaker 2: New York is a shared experience, and I know the

1765
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 2: unwavering loyalty and support that Bill's Mafia has provided is

1766
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 2: enormously appreciated by those of us who work for this

1767
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 2: Bill's organization, as well as Terry and Kim Pagula, the

1768
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 2: owners and stewards of this club. The best part of

1769
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:47,800
Speaker 2: these last fifty three seasons is we all had the

1770
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:52,320
Speaker 2: privilege of living this weekly fall ritual together. So I'm

1771
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:55,760
Speaker 2: honored to have narrated you through just a small part

1772
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 2: of it here with Eric Wood, knowing Van Miller did

1773
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:00,920
Speaker 2: most of the heavy lifting on this side of the

1774
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:04,639
Speaker 2: radio with a solid assist from John Murphy. We look

1775
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 2: forward to seeing you across the street next season in

1776
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 2: our brand new home.

1777
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:10,640
Speaker 3: But to this high Mark Stadium, I.

1778
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:12,760
Speaker 2: Think I speak for all of Bill's Mafia when I

1779
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 2: say you will be missed. Thanks for the memories. Old

1780
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 2: friend over the last fifty three seasons. There is no

1781
01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:25,439
Speaker 2: place we would have rather been for Eric Wood and

1782
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 2: all of us here on.

1783
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bill's Radio Network.

1784
01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 2: Chris Brown saying, thank you Bill's Mafia for showing up

1785
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:36,800
Speaker 2: for fifty three seasons. So that's how we signed off

1786
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 2: the air last night, and John Murphy was in the

1787
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 2: booth with us, and I don't think John will mind

1788
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,599
Speaker 2: me saying this, but I turned around after we finished

1789
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 2: and got off the air.

1790
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 3: He was crying.

1791
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:50,000
Speaker 4: You can see him up in the back. He's milling around.

1792
01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:54,960
Speaker 4: He's got headphones on. Yeah, And I'm glad I wasn't

1793
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:57,599
Speaker 4: there to I was, because I would have been blubbering

1794
01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,680
Speaker 4: like a baby too. That was very nice, Brownie. You

1795
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 4: did a gre job with that. Thank you for doing that.

1796
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:04,840
Speaker 4: And I'm sure a lot of people who make it

1797
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:07,360
Speaker 4: their habit to listen to you guys on the radio

1798
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 4: and the broadcast in conjunction with the TV or without

1799
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 4: the TV, really appreciated that send off. That was awesome.

1800
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,640
Speaker 2: You heard my pregnant pause there too. I had to

1801
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:17,960
Speaker 2: take a second. I was like, Oh, there it is.

1802
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:19,160
Speaker 2: There's the frog in the throat.

1803
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 4: That's awesome. That's great stuff.

1804
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:23,639
Speaker 3: We got to take a break here.

1805

1821
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:56,680
Speaker 2: All right, Eric, We'll get into the pomp and circumstance

1822
01:34:56,760 --> 01:34:58,400
Speaker 2: of the final game in high Mark Stadium in a

1823
01:34:58,439 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 2: second here, but I think there's an underlying thing to

1824
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 2: take out of this game, and for me, it's the

1825
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 2: performance of the second stringers in this football game, whether

1826
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 2: it's Ray Davis, Mitch Trubisky, that second offensive line with

1827
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 2: Osiris Torrance being the only starter playing in that game,

1828
01:35:17,880 --> 01:35:22,000
Speaker 2: they didn't play well. They flat out dominated. How encouraging

1829
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:24,920
Speaker 2: is that if the depth is tested somewhere in the

1830
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:26,560
Speaker 2: playoffs going forward.

1831
01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's extremely encouraging.

1832
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:31,400
Speaker 15: The depth that they built on this offensive line I

1833
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 15: think is second to none in the NFL. They've done

1834
01:35:33,400 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 15: a great job developing these young guys, and fortunately for

1835
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 15: the Bills, they haven't had to use a whole lot.

1836
01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,559
Speaker 15: We've seen Alec Anderson and Ryan vand Mark have to

1837
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 15: step in this year. But fortunately knock would have been

1838
01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 15: able to stay fairly healthy. But you rush for over

1839
01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:47,200
Speaker 15: two hundred yards and don't give up a sack in

1840
01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:49,720
Speaker 15: a game where you got guys kind of playing all

1841
01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 15: over because of necessity and getting those guys in there,

1842
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:57,639
Speaker 15: and I thought they played phenomenal upfront, and then when

1843
01:35:57,640 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 15: you look at Ray Davis, when you look at Mitch

1844
01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 15: Trubisky was as sharp as I've seen him in years.

1845
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:04,479
Speaker 15: And so it's encouraging. Now, this is a Jets team

1846
01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:06,800
Speaker 15: that's been getting destroyed as of late. They lose their

1847
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 15: fifth straight game by over twenty points. But it's an

1848
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:13,559
Speaker 15: NFL football game. This is a These are mainly our

1849
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 15: backups going against you know, some of their starters and

1850
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:19,800
Speaker 15: guys that you know might be Fridge NFL players, but

1851
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,759
Speaker 15: their NFL ball players. So encouraged by what I saw

1852
01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:24,679
Speaker 15: on the offense side of the ball. And I thought

1853
01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:27,600
Speaker 15: some of the young receivers stepped up as well. Uh

1854
01:36:27,840 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 15: kiak Coleman played better yesterday, gave Davis had some nice catches.

1855
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:33,479
Speaker 15: We saw Dalton Kakaid come alive early in that one

1856
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:36,720
Speaker 15: before we were talking on the broadcast. Okay, now time

1857
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 15: to put him into bubble wrap. Here a lot too

1858
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 15: made some plays. It was a fun performance that defensively

1859
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,200
Speaker 15: they carry a shutout in midway through the fourth quarter.

1860
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 15: It just flat out dominated that Jets offense.

1861
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:50,240
Speaker 14: So we wanted to end that game with a win.

1862
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:54,200
Speaker 15: Yesterday for multiple reasons, won the final game at high

1863
01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:56,600
Speaker 15: Mark Stadium. But then also you give yourself at a

1864
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:58,719
Speaker 15: chance to the higher seed and they end up nabbing

1865
01:36:58,840 --> 01:36:59,439
Speaker 15: that sixth seed.

1866
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 4: And Eric as you look at the rosters and how

1867
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:05,680
Speaker 4: this played out certainly gives Bill's fans anyway, if not

1868
01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:08,320
Speaker 4: the coaching staff and the players themselves some confidence going

1869
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:12,559
Speaker 4: into the playoffs that they are ready. I mean certainly,

1870
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 4: not only did they play well, they dominated. Certainly. Maybe

1871
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 4: the physicality the Jets wasn't there like an NFL team,

1872
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 4: a playoff team would be, but man oh man, they

1873
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:23,880
Speaker 4: knew their assignments and they understood it.

1874
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:26,920
Speaker 14: They did.

1875
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:27,280
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1876
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:29,800
Speaker 15: Just focusing on the defense side of the ball right now,

1877
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:32,599
Speaker 15: you have t J. Sanders get his first sack. He's

1878
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 15: I've been encouraged by his performance since he's been able

1879
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:38,759
Speaker 15: to move back to the three technique. Darian Mathis continues

1880
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 15: to play at a high level. Buffalo Joe and Dorian

1881
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:43,879
Speaker 15: Williams make a place at the second level of that defense.

1882
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:45,160
Speaker 14: They played great.

1883
01:37:45,200 --> 01:37:48,599
Speaker 15: But you get Dial Walker out there as well yesterday,

1884
01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 15: So you're getting some further development from these young guys

1885
01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:53,200
Speaker 15: that you are going to have to play those guys

1886
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 15: come playoff time. Just based upon the rotations of the

1887
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,559
Speaker 15: defense in that defensive front.

1888
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:01,840
Speaker 2: And talked about how the depth on the offensive side

1889
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:03,839
Speaker 2: of the ball was encouraging. The depth might be tested

1890
01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 2: yet again on defense, depending on what Max Harston's injury

1891
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:12,080
Speaker 2: looks like. So in the event that he is not

1892
01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:15,400
Speaker 2: fit to play this week, we know JaMarcus Ingram is

1893
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 2: no longer on this roster, they might have to dip

1894
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:21,160
Speaker 2: into their practice squad. We know Dan Jackson is down there,

1895
01:38:21,160 --> 01:38:24,160
Speaker 2: but what do you think of that? Knowing Jacksonville as

1896
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 2: the opponent who has an awful lot of speed on

1897
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 2: the outside.

1898
01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:31,559
Speaker 15: Hey, dude, you'd love to have Harriston going against Washington,

1899
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 15: They're leading receiver on the season, just based upon the

1900
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 15: speed match up there. We'll see what the extent of

1901
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 15: that injury is, but that could potentially be a big

1902
01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 15: loss here in the secondary, still got Tredevius White, Christian

1903
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:44,840
Speaker 15: Bedford playing at high level, and then you likely have

1904
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:48,160
Speaker 15: to dip into Dan Jackson to get him ready to

1905
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 15: roll for this week. Yesterday, based upon the guys available,

1906
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 15: we saw Jordan Hancock pop out to the outside and

1907
01:38:54,160 --> 01:38:56,680
Speaker 15: show off some of his versatility that he brings. But

1908
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 15: that's not a situation you want to put a rookie

1909
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:02,559
Speaker 15: into that's been primarily just playing safety throughout the season

1910
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:05,160
Speaker 15: to make him bump out to outside corner.

1911
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:07,160
Speaker 4: So when you get this and you go, you've got

1912
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:08,720
Speaker 4: this mentality. You got to go on the road in

1913
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 4: the playoffs. It's an enormous ass to win three road

1914
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 4: playoff games to get to the super Bowl. And yet

1915
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 4: you look around. Certainly the Jacksonville Jaguars are playing as

1916
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:21,400
Speaker 4: hot as anybody, but when you look at the field

1917
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 4: of the AFC, there's not too many teams standing in

1918
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 4: the line to get the matchup against Buffalo. With Josh

1919
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 4: Allen and the way this team is playing, and now

1920
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:31,360
Speaker 4: with James Cook as the NFL's leading rusher.

1921
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:33,760
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm with you.

1922
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:35,320
Speaker 15: If the Bills are able to take care of business

1923
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:37,559
Speaker 15: in a few of these games this year, then we're

1924
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 15: sitting here with the buy or even you know, the

1925
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:42,800
Speaker 15: two C where you're getting multiple home games, we'd be

1926
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:45,040
Speaker 15: feeling really good at our chances about making it to

1927
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:46,599
Speaker 15: the super Bowl. It's tough to go on the road

1928
01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:49,479
Speaker 15: three games in a row, but certainly this Bills team's

1929
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:50,400
Speaker 15: capable of doing it.

1930
01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:50,720
Speaker 4: Now.

1931
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 14: It's been a roller coaster ride this season.

1932
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:55,599
Speaker 15: In some weeks you think, okay, which version of this

1933
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 15: Bills offense or defense is going to show up this week?

1934
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:00,160
Speaker 15: And if they can put it all together, if they

1935
01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 15: could put it together for three weeks, we'll be making

1936
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 15: travel plans out to San Francisco. But if we see

1937
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 15: a clunker of a half or three quarters of a

1938
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 15: game from either side of the ball we've seen at

1939
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:11,439
Speaker 15: times this year, it could be a quick exit. And

1940
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:13,680
Speaker 15: so it's going to be interesting to see how this

1941
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 15: plays out this week. Jacksonville winners of eight in a row.

1942
01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:20,200
Speaker 15: They've been taking the ball away at the extremely high rate,

1943
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 15: and then Trevor Lawrence. Liam Cohen has Trevor Lawrence playing

1944
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:27,799
Speaker 15: the best ball of his career and so they've been impressive.

1945
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:30,879
Speaker 15: They got weapons all over the field. On offense, Trevor

1946
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:33,559
Speaker 15: Lawrence will use his wideouts on the outside, and their

1947
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:36,479
Speaker 15: pass game hasn't proofs. It's picking up Jacobe Myers at

1948
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:39,600
Speaker 15: the trade deadline strange. Their tight end has made a

1949
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:41,920
Speaker 15: lot of plays this year. And then especially in the

1950
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:44,920
Speaker 15: red zone, they'll get Travis Etn they're running back involved

1951
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:46,439
Speaker 15: in the past game as well, if they can get.

1952
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:48,720
Speaker 14: Him matched up one on one against the linebacker.

1953
01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you mentioned Jacksonville's ability to take the ball away.

1954
01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 3: They led the AFC and takeaways with thirty one. That

1955
01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:55,240
Speaker 3: was good.

1956
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 2: For second best in the league, behind only Chicago. They're

1957
01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:01,760
Speaker 2: plus thirteen in the turnal margin. And we haven't even

1958
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:04,599
Speaker 2: mentioned perhaps the most important quality of the Jaguars. You're

1959
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:08,599
Speaker 2: in the number one run defense in football. How how

1960
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:13,280
Speaker 2: much do you harbor concerns knowing that strength on strength,

1961
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:15,919
Speaker 2: number one rushing team against the number one run defense.

1962
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 15: There's concerned because at times this year when you've been

1963
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:21,840
Speaker 15: able to take away the Bills run game, that we

1964
01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:24,040
Speaker 15: can't get the play action passes off of it, and

1965
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:28,080
Speaker 15: we've seen this offense become pretty pedestrian, and so we'll

1966
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 15: see strength for strength how this plays out. The Bills

1967
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 15: are back to the number one rushing offensive football. They

1968
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:38,000
Speaker 15: have the official rushing champ from this year, James Cook

1969
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:40,800
Speaker 15: after Derrick Henry puts up over one hundred to the

1970
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 15: first half and then doesn't do a whole lot in

1971
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:43,639
Speaker 15: the second half.

1972
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 14: So James Cook.

1973
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:46,719
Speaker 15: Holds on for the rushing title, which is a huge

1974
01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 15: point of pride for him. The offensive line tight ends

1975
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 15: everybody within that offensive room. It takes a lot of

1976
01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:55,040
Speaker 15: pride in having James Cook be able to hit those

1977
01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:59,439
Speaker 15: But you know, looking at this Jacksonville team, you're gonna

1978
01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:01,840
Speaker 15: have to try to established the run, get the play

1979
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:04,000
Speaker 15: action going off of it, and then guys are gonna

1980
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 15: have to make some plays down the field. He saw

1981
01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:08,439
Speaker 15: Brandon Cooks come alive down the field two games ago,

1982
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:11,680
Speaker 15: and we rested yesterday, which is a sign. You know,

1983
01:42:11,680 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 15: you kind of see where the pecking order sits when

1984
01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:16,800
Speaker 15: you see that Shavers and Cooks and Shakir those are

1985
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 15: the guys that we didn't give any run to yesterday

1986
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 15: during the game.

1987
01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 4: One of the things you do in these games, Eric,

1988
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 4: is you can try and take something away from the

1989
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 4: other team that they really depend on. You take away something,

1990
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 4: and one thing that would be probably the simplest, maybe

1991
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 4: the easiest to do, would be something that the Jaguars

1992
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 4: have thrived on. That's just don't turn it over. If

1993
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,479
Speaker 4: you can just have ball security in this game, you

1994
01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:41,960
Speaker 4: take away something that has really helped the Jaguars in

1995
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:43,040
Speaker 4: their eight game win streak.

1996
01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:47,880
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's one of those deals where you know, watching

1997
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:50,240
Speaker 15: some of their games this morning and trying to play

1998
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 15: some catch up in preparation for this week leading up

1999
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:56,840
Speaker 15: to the game. There's times where they do a great

2000
01:42:56,920 --> 01:42:59,760
Speaker 15: job of forcing the turnovers. They'll best tackle is going

2001
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:01,640
Speaker 15: for the football, trying to rake it out, trying to

2002
01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:04,519
Speaker 15: punch ball. Security has got to be an emphasis throughout

2003
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:06,840
Speaker 15: the week when you're carrying the ball. But they've also

2004
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:10,840
Speaker 15: been just kind of an opportunistic defense where they played

2005
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:13,680
Speaker 15: with so much effort on a staff basis that you

2006
01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:16,040
Speaker 15: know Denver two weeks ago, they fumble an exchange on

2007
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:18,479
Speaker 15: a Reid option, Well, Jacksonville, because they play so hard,

2008
01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:21,680
Speaker 15: they're there to pick it up. You get a tipped ball, Well,

2009
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:24,400
Speaker 15: it seems like their guys in the secondary are there

2010
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:26,960
Speaker 15: to make the play on an interception ball. A lot

2011
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 15: of that's just based upon the amount of effort they

2012
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 15: play and play with on a snap to stop basis.

2013
01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:35,040
Speaker 2: Last one for me, Eric, we would be remiss if

2014
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 2: we did not mention the events that went on yesterday. Obviously,

2015
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:39,640
Speaker 2: you and I had a job to do. Steve had

2016
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:42,519
Speaker 2: to work yesterday as well, but there was time to

2017
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:45,600
Speaker 2: kind of try to soak it all up and appreciate

2018
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 2: what that building has been, not only for your guys

2019
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 2: playing careers, but for that matter, you're broadcasting careers too.

2020
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:55,640
Speaker 2: Did you what were your feelings through the course of

2021
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 2: the day, Like, how was the day for you?

2022
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 15: It was pretty emotional, just you know, from the second

2023
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:05,599
Speaker 15: I passed through the security gates of the morning and

2024
01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:08,200
Speaker 15: talking to people that I've known since two thousand and

2025
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:11,200
Speaker 15: nine to going down in the field. I get the

2026
01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:13,360
Speaker 15: same woman a hug, and we guessed the score every

2027
01:44:13,439 --> 01:44:16,320
Speaker 15: week for the home games, and just those little moments

2028
01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:19,160
Speaker 15: that you know, maybe they are recreated next year and

2029
01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 15: we'll see those same familiar with your faces, but we

2030
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:23,479
Speaker 15: might not. And then getting to be a part of

2031
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:26,160
Speaker 15: the halftime deal was very special for me to be

2032
01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:26,960
Speaker 15: able to MC that.

2033
01:44:27,040 --> 01:44:28,960
Speaker 14: I joked with my wife.

2034
01:44:28,640 --> 01:44:30,360
Speaker 15: That I'm glad I had the microphone and I was

2035
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:33,000
Speaker 15: emptying that because otherwise I might not have been involved

2036
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 15: in it. But it was really cool to be a

2037
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:39,759
Speaker 15: part of that deal at halftime. And then after the game,

2038
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:43,160
Speaker 15: I thought you did a remarkable job, Chris of closing

2039
01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:47,000
Speaker 15: out the game in a proper way, an incredible outro

2040
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:51,080
Speaker 15: for our final broadcast, likely from our home booth there,

2041
01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 15: and so that combined with the video and the music going,

2042
01:44:56,800 --> 01:44:58,720
Speaker 15: started getting the emotions going. And then I went down

2043
01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:00,439
Speaker 15: with a few buddies down to the field after the

2044
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:03,360
Speaker 15: game and we hung out for about forty five to

2045
01:45:03,400 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 15: fifty minutes and just told stories, and I got to

2046
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 15: hang with the Pagoula family and tell them about, you know,

2047
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:10,960
Speaker 15: growing up in Cincinnati. I was there from when we

2048
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:14,640
Speaker 15: moved from Old Riverfront Stadium into Paul Brown Stadium, and

2049
01:45:14,800 --> 01:45:16,880
Speaker 15: it didn't have the same feel. People weren't sitting their

2050
01:45:16,920 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 15: seats for forty five minutes after the game, just not

2051
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 15: one to leave because they want to soak in those

2052
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:24,280
Speaker 15: final moments. And so look, this offseason, there's gonna be

2053
01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:27,200
Speaker 15: plenty of excitement about moving into this brand new, beautiful

2054
01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 15: building that I've gotten to take.

2055
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:31,160
Speaker 14: A tour of and it's out of this world incredible.

2056
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:35,760
Speaker 15: But I felt like yesterday collectively as an organization that

2057
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:40,200
Speaker 15: Bills did an incredible job of honoring that building. And

2058
01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:42,519
Speaker 15: then the fans of course doing their part as they

2059
01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 15: always do.

2060
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:46,880
Speaker 4: Good stuff. Eric, thanks for being with us, great broadcast.

2061
01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:49,799
Speaker 4: Good luck in Jacksonville on the road down there, travel safe.

2062
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:52,599
Speaker 14: I appreciate you guys having great week.

2063
01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:55,800
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks Eric, that's Eric Wood joining us here

2064
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:58,479
Speaker 2: as he does every week after Bill's games, and we

2065
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:00,360
Speaker 2: will take a break, but get back to your phone

2066
01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:02,920
Speaker 2: calls when we return. You run a Buffalo victory. Monday

2067
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:04,840
Speaker 2: on one Bills Live, presented by a lot of health

2068
01:46:04,840 --> 01:46:18,000
Speaker 2: Fit's Buffalo Bills Radio. QB check In is presented by

2069
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 2: the University of Wyoming. You're Ready for any Field at

2070
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:23,400
Speaker 2: the University of Wyoming, a proud partner of the Buffalo Bills.

2071
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:26,560
Speaker 3: This time, though, it was Mitchie Biscuits.

2072
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 2: Mitch Trubisky with a banner of a day twenty two

2073
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,240
Speaker 2: of twenty nine for a seventy six percent completion rate,

2074
01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:36,639
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty nine yards and four touchdown passes

2075
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:41,080
Speaker 2: for a one forty two point one rating. I'm kind

2076
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 2: of curious if that's his best ever passer rating in

2077
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:45,599
Speaker 2: a game in his career.

2078
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:46,519
Speaker 3: I want to kind of.

2079
01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 2: Look that up really fast. That's it's a heck of

2080
01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 2: a performance and regularly. I mean, I know the Jets

2081
01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:53,600
Speaker 2: were kind of running for the bus to some degree.

2082
01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:57,400
Speaker 4: But yeah, and yeah, he had some great play around him.

2083
01:46:57,760 --> 01:46:59,680
Speaker 4: The offense was humming and they played you know they

2084
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:02,320
Speaker 4: play in the Jets, who were I think at the

2085
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:04,720
Speaker 4: very tip top of that organization fine with letting that

2086
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:07,080
Speaker 4: game be a loss. Certainly the players and coaches are

2087
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:11,040
Speaker 4: trying to win it, but you know they you know,

2088
01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 4: that roster was depleted. They were looking at all these

2089
01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:15,960
Speaker 4: players that had didn't play much or at all and

2090
01:47:16,040 --> 01:47:18,160
Speaker 4: weren't expected to be contributors at all at any point

2091
01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:20,599
Speaker 4: in the season, and they were, you know, taking every snap.

2092
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:25,559
Speaker 4: Same thing with the Bills, trying to rest guys. But

2093
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 4: to have the Bills backups and I go in and

2094
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:36,200
Speaker 4: play that well against those guys, it's pretty impressive. And

2095
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 4: I said again, Mitch Trubisky played that game on time,

2096
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:42,360
Speaker 4: made the right decisions, and mentally he was ahead of it.

2097
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,200
Speaker 2: So it was not as it was not his high

2098
01:47:45,240 --> 01:47:47,760
Speaker 2: as passer rating of his career in a game that

2099
01:47:47,880 --> 01:47:51,960
Speaker 2: came in twenty eighteen when the Bears, who he was

2100
01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:55,280
Speaker 2: quarterback for, beat Tampa forty eight to ten. He had

2101
01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:57,760
Speaker 2: a one fifty four point six passer rating in that game.

2102
01:47:57,760 --> 01:47:59,800
Speaker 2: That's his career high. What were his stats in that game?

2103
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:03,080
Speaker 2: He was through the ball six times nineteen of twenty

2104
01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:06,160
Speaker 2: six for three point fifty four and six touchdowns.

2105
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:06,800
Speaker 4: Oh there you go.

2106
01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:09,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would expect him to chalk that one.

2107
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 4: Up half a day. Yeah.

2108
01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:15,200
Speaker 2: So you could do a lot worse than Mitchell Trubisky

2109
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:16,280
Speaker 2: as a backup quarterback.

2110
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 4: Let me tell you, well.

2111
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:19,240
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones at eight oh three

2112
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 2: oh five point fifty one eighty eight five fifty two,

2113
01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:25,799
Speaker 2: five point fifty and we move on to Liz in Buffalo.

2114
01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:31,800
Speaker 23: What's up, Liz, Good afternoon, gentlemen. Yesterday's game, may I say,

2115
01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:38,400
Speaker 23: was just wonderful. It represented a lifetime of memories for

2116
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:44,320
Speaker 23: a lot of people, including myself, and you had a

2117
01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:48,000
Speaker 23: caller from Chicago as it concerned the Wall of Fame.

2118
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:53,000
Speaker 23: As a longtime Bills fan, the Wall of Fame represented

2119
01:48:53,080 --> 01:48:56,640
Speaker 23: to me a lot of thought and consideration to the

2120
01:48:56,680 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 23: people who graced Heimart Stadium. And I think a lot

2121
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 23: of concern and thought and consideration be given to that

2122
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:11,880
Speaker 23: Wall of Fame as it concerns the new stadium, whether

2123
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:15,040
Speaker 23: they make a park around the new stadium with those

2124
01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 23: names or whatever they come up with, I think they

2125
01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:21,600
Speaker 23: should give it consideration.

2126
01:49:22,280 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, I'm confident they will. Is So it's

2127
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:29,599
Speaker 2: I think we feel pretty comfortable in knowing there will

2128
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:32,400
Speaker 2: be some representation of the Wall of Famers in the

2129
01:49:32,439 --> 01:49:34,920
Speaker 2: new building. We just don't know where it's going to

2130
01:49:34,960 --> 01:49:38,720
Speaker 2: be and what it's going to look like. I'm sure

2131
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 2: there are plans and the people that are in charge

2132
01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:43,120
Speaker 2: know what those plans are and what it's going to

2133
01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:43,439
Speaker 2: look like.

2134
01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:45,479
Speaker 4: We have not been privy.

2135
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:47,720
Speaker 2: To those plans, so but I feel pretty confident that

2136
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:52,120
Speaker 2: you know the players and people that are on that list,

2137
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 2: because it's not just players. There are you know, Marv

2138
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:58,240
Speaker 2: Levy's up there, Ralph Wilson's up there, Pat mcgroder's up there,

2139
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:02,280
Speaker 2: Bill Pollyan up there. So there are more than just

2140
01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:06,120
Speaker 2: players on the wall, and I'm confident they will be

2141
01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:08,960
Speaker 2: represented properly in the new building.

2142
01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:11,599
Speaker 3: Let's go to Tim in Rochester. What do you got

2143
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:11,800
Speaker 3: for us?

2144
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:13,800
Speaker 10: Tim?

2145
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:17,600
Speaker 22: My memory of the stadium is not a game, but

2146
01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:20,200
Speaker 22: nineteen seventy three, when the stadium was done, my brother

2147
01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:22,240
Speaker 22: in law drove me down to the stadium and I

2148
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:25,720
Speaker 22: took a ton of pictures, and as we were walking around,

2149
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:27,960
Speaker 22: the guard came out and asked us if we wanted

2150
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:30,280
Speaker 22: to go inside, and I took a ton more. So

2151
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:32,960
Speaker 22: what I did with those pictures I blew them up

2152
01:50:32,960 --> 01:50:34,760
Speaker 22: to eight x tens and put them on a wall

2153
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:37,760
Speaker 22: to commemorate the Ralph, which I'll always call it.

2154
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:39,839
Speaker 3: That's wild.

2155
01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:42,639
Speaker 2: So hold on a second, we're talking nineteen seventy three,

2156
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,080
Speaker 2: What do you got a Kodak Instematic with a roll

2157
01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:47,400
Speaker 2: of twenty four photos, Like, what do we Tim? You

2158
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:49,640
Speaker 2: got to be pretty judicious and how many photos you

2159
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:55,040
Speaker 2: take before you run out of film?

2160
01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 3: Are you listening to us? Tim?

2161
01:50:56,479 --> 01:50:58,479
Speaker 4: Tim gave Kim gave up the ghost. I think he

2162
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:00,519
Speaker 4: gave up. Yeah, good question.

2163
01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 2: Back in the back in the day, like, oh my god,

2164
01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:05,439
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take pictures of the stadium. Well, back then

2165
01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 2: you got your Kodak Instematic or whatever. You have a

2166
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:10,360
Speaker 2: big role of film is twenty four photos?

2167
01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:10,680
Speaker 4: Right?

2168
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:12,160
Speaker 3: You know there were some that were twelve.

2169
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 2: I think sixteen, eighteen, twenty four was like the most

2170
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:17,719
Speaker 2: you could get for you know, one of those simple

2171
01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:19,800
Speaker 2: Instematic cameras you could get.

2172
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:22,040
Speaker 3: You're taking pictures all over the place.

2173
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:23,000
Speaker 4: Then the guard comes out.

2174
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:25,000
Speaker 2: What happens if you're sixteen photos in and you don't

2175
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 2: have another role of film in your pocket?

2176
01:51:26,840 --> 01:51:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to really judiciously choose my eight photos.

2177
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. Don't have to do that anymore different time,

2178
01:51:34,160 --> 01:51:35,720
Speaker 4: and you have to check and you know, you have

2179
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:38,519
Speaker 4: no idea if a single one of them turned out? Well, right,

2180
01:51:38,640 --> 01:51:39,360
Speaker 4: you get it developed.

2181
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you find out four or five days later after

2182
01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 2: you get it back from the photo mat, like the

2183
01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:46,479
Speaker 2: drive You remember those, the drive through photo mats. Those

2184
01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:50,719
Speaker 2: are Oh my god, God, we're old. We are so old, dude.

2185
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 2: Let's go to Jerry in Amherst next.

2186
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:55,280
Speaker 3: What's up, Jerry?

2187
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:58,400
Speaker 24: Yeah, I guess want to bring up some memories. I've

2188
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 24: been a season ticket holder to nineteen sixty three. I

2189
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:05,080
Speaker 24: even had my first book. It cost thirty five dollars

2190
01:52:05,120 --> 01:52:07,040
Speaker 24: for the season tickets at the Rock File.

2191
01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:07,639
Speaker 3: Wow.

2192
01:52:07,720 --> 01:52:11,479
Speaker 24: Okay. From there, I went over to the new Stadium

2193
01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 24: in seventy three, had four seats at the fifty yard line.

2194
01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:16,200
Speaker 10: Okay.

2195
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:20,920
Speaker 24: I'd be over there watching OJ kill New England and

2196
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:23,840
Speaker 24: run for like two hundred and thirty yards against them,

2197
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:28,320
Speaker 24: and hey, they were our stepping dog. Then I used

2198

Speaker 24: to go to the I was a sales rep and

2199
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:35,480

2200
01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:38,160
Speaker 24: after the games where Ralph would be there in Polian.

2201
01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 24: I got hat signed by Ralph and Polion, which is

2202
01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:48,200
Speaker 24: a different thing back in the seventies. And also my

2260
01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:09,120
Speaker 25: I feel pretty good about the game. I want to

2261

2263
01:56:15,360 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 25: of the backfield. I would like to see some misdirection

2264
01:56:20,040 --> 01:56:24,240
Speaker 25: on the offense, get those linebackers moving in one direction

2265
01:56:24,360 --> 01:56:26,840
Speaker 25: and bring the play back. And I want to see

2266

Speaker 11: Nice uniform, that really really was.

2271
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:45,760

2272
01:56:45,840 --> 01:56:48,640
Speaker 25: league anyway, But I'm biased, but that's the way I feel.

2276
01:56:58,960 --> 01:57:01,560
Speaker 25: play and all his boys, and who are catching these

2277
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:04,720
Speaker 25: guys nowadays. You did a good job, buddy.

2278
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate that. Fred, that means a lot.

2279
01:57:07,240 --> 01:57:10,080
Speaker 2: I you know, I'm just trying to paint the picture,

2280
01:57:10,120 --> 01:57:13,280
Speaker 2: and I was trying my best to encapsulate what was

2281
01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:15,520
Speaker 2: fifty three seasons in that place for a lot of

2282
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:19,320
Speaker 2: people and there everybody's got a different story. But what

2283
01:57:19,440 --> 01:57:22,640
Speaker 2: helped me kind of put it all together was remembering

2284
01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:26,280
Speaker 2: that we're all experiencing it together, even though our individual

2285
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,680
Speaker 2: experiences might be different with who were with, who were

2286
01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:31,360
Speaker 2: next to, how long we've been going, how many games

2287
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 2: we've made or never missed.

2288
01:57:34,400 --> 01:57:35,000
Speaker 4: It's always a.

2289
01:57:34,920 --> 01:57:37,600
Speaker 2: Shared experience here in Western New York for Bills fans

2290
01:57:37,640 --> 01:57:40,840
Speaker 2: in that building, and that's the unifying factor. And I'm

2291
01:57:40,840 --> 01:57:44,800
Speaker 2: glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, there was a privilege

2292
01:57:44,840 --> 01:57:47,120
Speaker 2: to deliver that in the final broadcast in there, so

2293
01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:51,040
Speaker 2: thank you for that. As for the Jags game, Steve,

2294
01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:54,520
Speaker 2: he wants to see James Cook in space a little

2295
01:57:54,520 --> 01:57:57,800
Speaker 2: bit more. This is a swarming defense and the Bills

2296
01:57:57,800 --> 01:57:59,520
Speaker 2: do like to run between the tackles, you know that

2297
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:02,960
Speaker 2: inside his own game. But if that doesn't work, maybe

2298
01:58:03,200 --> 01:58:05,760
Speaker 2: Fred's got a point here. Maybe get James out on

2299
01:58:05,800 --> 01:58:07,400
Speaker 2: the edge because he is dangerous in space.

2300
01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean they'll put together a game plan

2301
01:58:10,160 --> 01:58:12,560
Speaker 4: that they think fits their talent and fits their skill

2302
01:58:12,640 --> 01:58:15,320
Speaker 4: sets and fits their talent, fits what their guys do best,

2303
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:20,520
Speaker 4: and attacks the Jacksonville defense wherever it may be vulnerable,

2304
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:24,160
Speaker 4: both schematically and personnel wise. So that's just the way

2305
01:58:24,160 --> 01:58:27,800
Speaker 4: it works. We'll see what they come up with, and

2306
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:32,040
Speaker 4: of course they'll have every absolutely every available able bodied

2307
01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:36,520
Speaker 4: guy ready, and they won't be holding Josh back at

2308
01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:40,000
Speaker 4: all either. It'll be full guns, So it'll it'll be

2309
01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:42,200
Speaker 4: fun to watch. I'm sure these two teams. I think

2310
01:58:42,760 --> 01:58:44,640
Speaker 4: their offenses are going to make this a really fun

2311
01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:45,360
Speaker 4: game to watch.

2312
01:58:46,200 --> 01:58:49,960
Speaker 3: Oh boy, I'm gonna be nervous. I'm gonna be nervous. Man.

2313
01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:54,560
Speaker 3: Let's go to Bill in Texas. What do you got

2314
01:58:54,560 --> 01:58:55,040
Speaker 3: for his bill?

2315
01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:59,360
Speaker 26: Good afternoon, gentlemen, thanks for taking my call. Sure, First

2316
01:58:59,400 --> 01:59:02,040
Speaker 26: of all, you are old if you're talking about photo mats.

2317
01:59:02,120 --> 01:59:02,600
Speaker 3: Yeah right.

2318
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:08,080
Speaker 26: Young guys listening right now are like probably looking up

2319
01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:09,040
Speaker 26: what's photo Matt?

2320
01:59:09,160 --> 01:59:09,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

2321
01:59:09,480 --> 01:59:14,280
Speaker 26: Anyway, I just got a question about players. Do you

2322
01:59:14,560 --> 01:59:18,160
Speaker 26: think that they will ever realize that if they took

2323
01:59:18,400 --> 01:59:22,720
Speaker 26: less money to play, that money could be spent on

2324
01:59:22,800 --> 01:59:25,800
Speaker 26: better players. So you have a better team, I mean,

2325
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:28,680
Speaker 26: you can go to another team like Chicago, and you

2326
01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:31,160
Speaker 26: can make all this money in the world and you can,

2327
01:59:31,280 --> 01:59:34,160
Speaker 26: you know, lose game after game after game. You know,

2328
01:59:34,680 --> 01:59:37,320
Speaker 26: might have one year where you do something good because

2329
01:59:37,560 --> 01:59:41,600
Speaker 26: money's gonna come and go. But that championship will last forever.

2330
01:59:42,280 --> 01:59:45,360
Speaker 26: If you get ten million dollars in the bank. The

2331
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:48,880
Speaker 26: interest on that every year is one million dollars. And

2332
01:59:48,960 --> 01:59:52,280
Speaker 26: if you're telling me you cannot live on that, something's wrong.

2333
01:59:52,880 --> 01:59:55,960
Speaker 26: Your team would be so much better if you could.

2334
01:59:57,080 --> 02:00:00,000
Speaker 26: I mean, you have the salary cap, so you can't

2335
02:00:00,120 --> 02:00:02,800
Speaker 26: go above that. So but thing of the players you

2336
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:05,480
Speaker 26: could get if people would take less money to play

2337
02:00:05,760 --> 02:00:08,720
Speaker 26: and play for a championship instead of I want to

2338
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:10,160
Speaker 26: be the highest plage.

2339
02:00:10,280 --> 02:00:11,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm.

2340
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:13,600
Speaker 2: Gonna let I'm gonna let Steve, a former player, address

2341
02:00:13,640 --> 02:00:13,920
Speaker 2: this bill.

2342
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:16,440
Speaker 4: Thanks and all. That makes sense in a logical sort

2343
02:00:16,440 --> 02:00:19,720
Speaker 4: of way, it seems to make sense. The problem is this,

2344
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:24,000
Speaker 4: What if you're the Cleveland Browns and you're playing for

2345
02:00:24,040 --> 02:00:26,680
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns, and you're standing there and you're you're

2346
02:00:26,760 --> 02:00:29,800
Speaker 4: ready to take less money as a corner instead of

2347
02:00:29,840 --> 02:00:33,200
Speaker 4: taking say, say you're a you're a top flight corner,

2348
02:00:33,200 --> 02:00:35,280
Speaker 4: Say you you can get eighteen million bucks a year

2349
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:39,520
Speaker 4: on the open market, and you play for say whatever,

2350
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:43,000
Speaker 4: you take a pick a number six million bucks a

2351
02:00:43,040 --> 02:00:44,960
Speaker 4: year or five million bucks a year, or ten million

2352
02:00:44,960 --> 02:00:47,520
Speaker 4: bucks a year, but you could have made eight million

2353
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:50,600
Speaker 4: bucks a year. Anythink I'm gonna do it because my

2354
02:00:50,760 --> 02:00:52,800
Speaker 4: team is gonna be better because they have more more

2355
02:00:52,840 --> 02:00:54,920
Speaker 4: money to spend. And then they go spend three number

2356
02:00:54,920 --> 02:00:57,280
Speaker 4: one draft picks and trade for Deshaun Watson and pay

2357
02:00:57,320 --> 02:01:01,160
Speaker 4: him two hundred and thirty six million guaranteed for a

2358
02:01:01,200 --> 02:01:06,600
Speaker 4: guy that can't play. And then they draft Joey bag

2359
02:01:06,640 --> 02:01:13,400
Speaker 4: of doughnuts, a donkey, and a bag of footballs with

2360
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:17,040
Speaker 4: their top three draft picks. And you're sitting there and

2361
02:01:17,120 --> 02:01:20,240
Speaker 4: youth just left twelve million bucks on the table, and

2362
02:01:20,320 --> 02:01:21,960
Speaker 4: the club can't get out of its own way and

2363
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:26,440
Speaker 4: make any kind of decision. That's what you're talking about.

2364
02:01:27,680 --> 02:01:29,640
Speaker 4: The simple fact of the matter is all these teams

2365
02:01:30,280 --> 02:01:32,440
Speaker 4: have the same amount of money to spend. It's the

2366
02:01:32,480 --> 02:01:36,640
Speaker 4: same salary cap. You get what you can get, and

2367
02:01:36,720 --> 02:01:38,800
Speaker 4: you expect the team to hold up there into the bargain,

2368
02:01:39,240 --> 02:01:42,160
Speaker 4: make good draft picks, draft young players that can really play.

2369
02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:45,160
Speaker 4: I'll do whatever I can to help you. But here's

2370
02:01:45,200 --> 02:01:47,960
Speaker 4: the going market for my services, and that's what it's

2371
02:01:47,960 --> 02:01:52,760
Speaker 4: going to be. There have been stuff. There's been stuff

2372
02:01:52,840 --> 02:01:54,920
Speaker 4: said about when Tom Brady played, about how he was

2373
02:01:55,200 --> 02:02:00,000
Speaker 4: a sub market value quarterback, and how the Pray Tree

2374
02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:02,960
Speaker 4: and the Patriots have like fifty three million bucks of

2375
02:02:03,440 --> 02:02:10,600
Speaker 4: cap space every year. Yeah, I don't know how that works,

2376
02:02:10,800 --> 02:02:13,080
Speaker 4: but I know the salary cap is a real thing.

2377
02:02:13,720 --> 02:02:16,040
Speaker 4: And if you're playing in the NFL, you expect your

2378
02:02:16,040 --> 02:02:18,840
Speaker 4: club to get its value and you're expected to give

2379
02:02:18,880 --> 02:02:24,200
Speaker 4: the value that you're signed for. So yeah, there's just

2380
02:02:24,280 --> 02:02:28,560
Speaker 4: too many uncontrollables for guys to leave money on the table,

2381
02:02:28,640 --> 02:02:31,200
Speaker 4: hoping and praying that their club gets everything else right.

2382
02:02:31,600 --> 02:02:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And careers are precuriously short, very short, So you

2383
02:02:36,240 --> 02:02:38,240
Speaker 2: make as much money as you can in as short

2384
02:02:38,280 --> 02:02:41,800
Speaker 2: a time as you can because your next game could

2385
02:02:41,800 --> 02:02:44,440
Speaker 2: be your last. Look at Eric, what gets to the

2386
02:02:44,520 --> 02:02:47,800
Speaker 2: end of the twenty seventeen season, they break the playoff drought,

2387
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:51,280
Speaker 2: He plays in you know, the postseason game against Jacksonville,

2388
02:02:51,680 --> 02:02:54,680
Speaker 2: and then in exit physicals he finds out he has

2389
02:02:55,280 --> 02:03:00,120
Speaker 2: a neck injury that could threaten him with paralysis if

2390
02:03:00,160 --> 02:03:02,760
Speaker 2: he continues playing. He had to retire abruptly after the

2391
02:03:02,760 --> 02:03:06,840
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen season. You don't know when your last game

2392
02:03:06,920 --> 02:03:09,000
Speaker 2: is when you play this game, so you try to

2393
02:03:09,000 --> 02:03:11,120
Speaker 2: make as much money as you can as quickly as

2394
02:03:11,160 --> 02:03:13,520
Speaker 2: you can, because the clock's always ticking.

2395
02:03:14,080 --> 02:03:17,440
Speaker 3: With as physical a league as this is. Let's move

2396
02:03:17,480 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 3: on and we go to Dan in Hamburg next. What's

2397
02:03:20,400 --> 02:03:20,720
Speaker 3: up Dan?

2398
02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:21,480
Speaker 4: Hi?

2399
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:24,880
Speaker 27: Thanks for taking my call, gentlemen. I've been a season

2400
02:03:24,880 --> 02:03:27,720
Speaker 27: ticket holder for about forty five years and I've been

2401
02:03:27,760 --> 02:03:30,160
Speaker 27: at games going back to the Rock Pop. But the

2402
02:03:30,240 --> 02:03:33,200
Speaker 27: craziest thing I've ever seen at that stadium was on

2403
02:03:33,280 --> 02:03:36,360
Speaker 27: a Monday night game when a gentleman who was about

2404
02:03:36,360 --> 02:03:38,640
Speaker 27: three rows in front of us decided to do a

2405
02:03:38,720 --> 02:03:42,760
Speaker 27: high wire act on the cable that across the field

2406
02:03:42,760 --> 02:03:45,360
Speaker 27: that helds up the netting behind the goalpost.

2407
02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:47,560
Speaker 2: Yep, and there are a lot of police waiting for

2408
02:03:47,640 --> 02:03:49,880
Speaker 2: him when he got to the other side.

2409
02:03:50,280 --> 02:03:52,680
Speaker 27: A very unusual individual for sure.

2410
02:03:52,800 --> 02:03:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2411
02:03:53,680 --> 02:03:55,080
Speaker 27: The other thing I want to share with you. I

2412
02:03:55,160 --> 02:03:57,240
Speaker 27: used to travel a lot for business and I had

2413
02:03:57,240 --> 02:03:59,440
Speaker 27: the pleasure of on a business trip coming home from

2414
02:03:59,480 --> 02:04:02,960
Speaker 27: Detroit and sharing his seat next to mister Wilson. What

2415
02:04:03,120 --> 02:04:06,120
Speaker 27: a gentleman he was. We sat there and talked about

2416
02:04:06,120 --> 02:04:08,760
Speaker 27: the Bills, and he was as down to earth as

2417
02:04:08,800 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 27: anybody you'd ever want to see. You'd never know that

2418
02:04:11,840 --> 02:04:13,440
Speaker 27: he was worth the money he was and was the

2419
02:04:13,440 --> 02:04:14,960
Speaker 27: owner of the Bills who had.

2420
02:04:14,880 --> 02:04:17,320
Speaker 3: A gentleman yep, no argument here.

2421
02:04:17,920 --> 02:04:20,720
Speaker 27: Yeah, And the one last thing is, unfortunately I lost

2422
02:04:20,720 --> 02:04:23,080
Speaker 27: my brother a couple of years ago, and when my

2423
02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:26,440
Speaker 27: nephews were cleaning out his basement, they said, uncle Dan's

2424
02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:30,320
Speaker 27: got to have this. I have an original Rich stadium signed.

2425
02:04:30,720 --> 02:04:33,480
Speaker 27: But the arrow hung on my house at points.

2426
02:04:33,120 --> 02:04:36,200
Speaker 16: To the stadium, so that's pretty cool.

2427
02:04:36,680 --> 02:04:38,640
Speaker 27: It is very cool. So that's all I have. It's

2428
02:04:38,640 --> 02:04:40,880
Speaker 27: always that it's been, you know, I've been going to

2429
02:04:40,920 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 27: that stadium since they were building it when I was

2430
02:04:42,720 --> 02:04:45,520
Speaker 27: in college. And we have our coin from seventy three

2431
02:04:45,560 --> 02:04:48,240
Speaker 27: and we have our new coin from the yesterday. But

2432
02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:51,800
Speaker 27: it's memories beyond. You can't do it. You sat there

2433
02:04:51,840 --> 02:04:53,560
Speaker 27: and I was teary eyed sitting there with my son

2434
02:04:53,640 --> 02:04:56,600
Speaker 27: yesterday helping him build memories. So yeah, that's all I have,

2435
02:04:56,720 --> 02:04:58,000
Speaker 27: but I'd just like to share those with you.

2436
02:04:58,080 --> 02:05:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for Sharon Dan and your one of those

2437
02:05:00,400 --> 02:05:03,680
Speaker 2: families that I described yesterday going wire to wire in

2438
02:05:03,720 --> 02:05:06,200
Speaker 2: that building. Yeah, from the front to the back and

2439
02:05:06,240 --> 02:05:08,600
Speaker 2: everything in between. I mean fifty three years. If we

2440
02:05:08,600 --> 02:05:10,000
Speaker 2: talked about commitment, I mean.

2441
02:05:10,080 --> 02:05:13,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're right, mister Wilson. Ralph was was a

2442
02:05:13,160 --> 02:05:18,840
Speaker 4: great dude. We when our team got good and started

2443
02:05:18,840 --> 02:05:21,480
Speaker 4: going to the super Bowl and all of that. You know,

2444
02:05:21,520 --> 02:05:23,800
Speaker 4: miss he was famous for living in Detroit and stuff.

2445
02:05:23,840 --> 02:05:25,920
Speaker 4: But he he had, you know, obviously had more than

2446
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:28,320
Speaker 4: one home. He lived also in Florida, you know, in

2447
02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:32,600
Speaker 4: Palm Beach and all that. He's got house at houses

2448
02:05:32,600 --> 02:05:35,320
Speaker 4: in it everywhere. But he would make it a point

2449
02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:39,480
Speaker 4: to come in and watch us practice on weeks of

2450
02:05:39,520 --> 02:05:41,000
Speaker 4: home games when he was going to be there for

2451
02:05:41,040 --> 02:05:43,360
Speaker 4: the game. He'd come in there two early, yeah, Fridays, Right,

2452
02:05:43,440 --> 02:05:46,840
Speaker 4: he'd come watch us practice and he would come down

2453
02:05:47,560 --> 02:05:52,280
Speaker 4: and we we you know, we'd bust chops. You know.

2454
02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:55,560
Speaker 4: He was like one of the guys. His his wife

2455
02:05:55,640 --> 02:05:57,640
Speaker 4: Mary will tell you he had he'd always have on

2456
02:05:57,800 --> 02:06:01,520
Speaker 4: corduroys and sweat and he'd show up and come down

2457
02:06:01,520 --> 02:06:03,360
Speaker 4: and watch his practice and chit chat with all of

2458
02:06:03,400 --> 02:06:06,000
Speaker 4: us on the sidelines and stand back with Marv and

2459
02:06:06,080 --> 02:06:09,960
Speaker 4: those guys. Yeah, he was he was a very well

2460
02:06:10,160 --> 02:06:14,120
Speaker 4: liked guy in our locker room. And I think when

2461
02:06:14,160 --> 02:06:17,200
Speaker 4: the Bills, after all the years that Ralph put in

2462
02:06:17,280 --> 02:06:21,280
Speaker 4: and poured into the team to have him finally hire

2463
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:24,960
Speaker 4: Bill Polly and hire Marv Levy, go twelve and four

2464
02:06:24,960 --> 02:06:26,480
Speaker 4: and eighty six, and then you know, go to the

2465
02:06:26,760 --> 02:06:30,360
Speaker 4: playoffs in eighty nine, eighty eight and eighty nine, and

2466
02:06:30,400 --> 02:06:32,040
Speaker 4: then in ninety go to the super Bowl. Then go

2467
02:06:32,080 --> 02:06:36,840
Speaker 4: to the Super Bowl again. You could tell he was

2468
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:39,960
Speaker 4: so happy that they'd finally found a formula that could

2469
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:43,240
Speaker 4: win games in the league and do it and just

2470
02:06:43,360 --> 02:06:46,280
Speaker 4: you know, just bless his heart for loving it as

2471
02:06:46,320 --> 02:06:51,000
Speaker 4: much as he did. I know he was approached late

2472
02:06:51,040 --> 02:06:54,880
Speaker 4: in his life to sell the team before it went

2473
02:06:54,960 --> 02:06:58,520
Speaker 4: to his estate and before we passed, and he told

2474
02:06:58,680 --> 02:07:01,600
Speaker 4: he told them, listen, I'm not selling the team because

2475
02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:04,480
Speaker 4: if I sell the team, I'll die. It'll kill me.

2476
02:07:05,080 --> 02:07:07,160
Speaker 4: He goes, I just will not do it, and so

2477
02:07:07,320 --> 02:07:10,120
Speaker 4: they had to wait until he in good time he

2478
02:07:10,280 --> 02:07:14,720
Speaker 4: passed away. He loved this team, absolutely loved this team,

2479
02:07:14,760 --> 02:07:19,760
Speaker 4: and by relationship, of course, loved Buffalo as well. His

2480
02:07:19,880 --> 02:07:23,920
Speaker 4: legacy is financial. You've seen some of the contributions that

2481
02:07:24,040 --> 02:07:26,400
Speaker 4: through his estate. His wife Mary has given to the

2482
02:07:26,400 --> 02:07:30,640
Speaker 4: city and the county. They've done absolutely phenomenal things. And

2483
02:07:30,680 --> 02:07:34,640
Speaker 4: it is a result of the genuine person that Dan

2484
02:07:34,760 --> 02:07:37,560
Speaker 4: met on that flight so many years ago. So bless

2485
02:07:37,600 --> 02:07:42,040
Speaker 4: his heart. And you know, we miss Ralph. And you're right,

2486
02:07:42,080 --> 02:07:44,280
Speaker 4: there's a lot of there's a lot of history in

2487
02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:47,520
Speaker 4: that route, just like this. You know, Stadium was Ralph's

2488
02:07:47,600 --> 02:07:50,480
Speaker 4: kind of legacy. Is the time is a huge project

2489
02:07:50,480 --> 02:07:53,480
Speaker 4: here in Erie County. I don't know if you've heard

2490
02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:59,960
Speaker 4: about the legacy that Terry's building across the street. It's unbelievable.

2491
02:08:01,240 --> 02:08:04,920
Speaker 4: And the new guy is the same. Yeah, I talk

2492
02:08:05,040 --> 02:08:08,560
Speaker 4: with him. He's a great dude. And he is putting

2493
02:08:08,560 --> 02:08:10,880
Speaker 4: it into this new building. Oh, he is pouring it

2494
02:08:10,920 --> 02:08:13,480
Speaker 4: in in there over there. It's gonna be nice. And

2495
02:08:13,520 --> 02:08:15,040
Speaker 4: I can't wait for everybody to see it.

2496
02:08:15,800 --> 02:08:18,760
Speaker 3: Well said, Let's squeeze in Eric in Virginia here before

2497
02:08:18,760 --> 02:08:19,400
Speaker 3: the break. What's up?

2498
02:08:19,520 --> 02:08:19,680
Speaker 4: Eric?

2499
02:08:21,560 --> 02:08:23,840
Speaker 16: Hey, Chris, say, Steve, how you doing. I just want

2500
02:08:23,920 --> 02:08:26,560
Speaker 16: to go over a couple of things quickly. First, is

2501
02:08:26,600 --> 02:08:30,600
Speaker 16: my first memory at High March Stadium was and I

2502
02:08:30,600 --> 02:08:35,320
Speaker 16: think it was nineteen ninety five. It was the first

2503
02:08:35,360 --> 02:08:38,360
Speaker 16: game I'd ever been to. Was a preseason game. I

2504
02:08:38,400 --> 02:08:42,880
Speaker 16: went with my grandpa who had terminal illness, and I

2505
02:08:42,920 --> 02:08:44,200
Speaker 16: was able to see a game with him.

2506
02:08:44,560 --> 02:08:45,480
Speaker 3: But it was.

2507
02:08:45,560 --> 02:08:50,560
Speaker 16: Memorable because for that, but also because Jim Kelly broke

2508
02:08:50,720 --> 02:08:53,880
Speaker 16: some guy's leg. It was a preseason game and like

2509
02:08:54,640 --> 02:08:57,160
Speaker 16: he tackled the guy. It was an interception and he

2510
02:08:57,880 --> 02:08:59,160
Speaker 16: made the tackle and ended up.

2511
02:08:59,360 --> 02:09:02,080
Speaker 4: No, Eric, Eric, that wasn't preseason. That was a regular

2512
02:09:02,080 --> 02:09:03,400
Speaker 4: season game against Atlanta.

2513
02:09:05,120 --> 02:09:06,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, it was Atlanta. Was definitely Atlanta.

2514
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:10,200
Speaker 4: It was. That was a regular season game. It was

2515
02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:13,320
Speaker 4: very early in that. It was very early in in

2516
02:09:13,440 --> 02:09:17,000
Speaker 4: the in the season and Jim takes this angle and

2517
02:09:17,080 --> 02:09:21,680
Speaker 4: right there gets the guy. And I gotta be honest

2518
02:09:21,680 --> 02:09:26,080
Speaker 4: with I'm standing right there and you can see his

2519
02:09:26,200 --> 02:09:33,160
Speaker 4: leg go. You could hear his leg break. You could

2520
02:09:33,200 --> 02:09:36,280
Speaker 4: hear his leg break, and immediately we started motioning the

2521
02:09:36,440 --> 02:09:39,440
Speaker 4: other times over here, Bless.

2522
02:09:39,440 --> 02:09:39,720
Speaker 5: It's hard.

2523
02:09:39,800 --> 02:09:41,920
Speaker 4: I can't remember the name of the safety who did that,

2524
02:09:42,560 --> 02:09:45,560
Speaker 4: but he was killing it that year. He was gonna

2525
02:09:45,560 --> 02:09:47,440
Speaker 4: be all pro. He was really doing and you know,

2526
02:09:47,480 --> 02:09:49,440
Speaker 4: he picked Jim off was going to be a pick

2527
02:09:49,560 --> 02:09:53,920
Speaker 4: six and that ended his his season right there. Yeah,

2528
02:09:53,920 --> 02:09:56,320
Speaker 4: I remember that game. I was I was standing there

2529
02:09:56,400 --> 02:09:58,960
Speaker 4: and I remember because I was standing close enough. I

2530
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:02,440
Speaker 4: was looking for myself on the sidelines in that highlight Bill's.

2531
02:10:02,160 --> 02:10:03,880
Speaker 3: Won twenty three seventeen.

2532
02:10:03,720 --> 02:10:07,000
Speaker 4: And yeah, what else.

2533
02:10:09,000 --> 02:10:12,520
Speaker 16: So another thing, as far as one thing I like

2534
02:10:12,560 --> 02:10:17,720
Speaker 16: to remember about Bill's Mafia before you know everybody is

2535
02:10:17,800 --> 02:10:21,080
Speaker 16: the notoriety about the charity and all the warm things,

2536
02:10:21,200 --> 02:10:25,240
Speaker 16: but also the rowdy behavior that really kind of made

2537
02:10:25,280 --> 02:10:30,680
Speaker 16: Bill's Mafia go viral, that, you know, and how funny

2538
02:10:30,720 --> 02:10:32,960
Speaker 16: it was, you know, when every you know, I'm not

2539
02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:34,960
Speaker 16: gonna say anything, but you know, when Brady would come

2540
02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:38,760
Speaker 16: to town, there was like a couple of year tradition

2541
02:10:38,760 --> 02:10:41,000
Speaker 16: where people would throw stuff on the field. I thought

2542
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:44,640
Speaker 16: that was hilarious. It's low brow, but like that's what

2543
02:10:45,120 --> 02:10:48,640
Speaker 16: that's really the springboard that made people think, like, dang,

2544
02:10:48,880 --> 02:10:51,160
Speaker 16: Bill Mafia, they're freaking nuts.

2545
02:10:51,280 --> 02:10:53,840
Speaker 4: Well yeah, and that I.

2546
02:10:53,840 --> 02:10:56,080
Speaker 16: Don't know, I mean that to me, Like, the rowdy

2547
02:10:56,120 --> 02:11:02,520
Speaker 16: behavior was really memorable. Also, I got a question to you,

2548
02:11:02,600 --> 02:11:03,560
Speaker 16: Steve about.

2549
02:11:03,640 --> 02:11:05,480
Speaker 10: I'm actually in the middle of a round of golf.

2550
02:11:05,960 --> 02:11:09,920
Speaker 28: How long do you look for your golf ball, like

2551
02:11:10,400 --> 02:11:12,160
Speaker 28: before you just say, you know what, screw it, take

2552
02:11:12,200 --> 02:11:15,440
Speaker 28: a drop. Obviously you probably haven't can afford a lot

2553
02:11:15,440 --> 02:11:20,000
Speaker 28: of nice golf balls, but like, like, do you just say.

2554
02:11:19,920 --> 02:11:21,400
Speaker 16: I don't know, I'm not even gonna try and look

2555
02:11:21,400 --> 02:11:22,840
Speaker 16: for it? Do you just take a drop? Or do

2556
02:11:22,840 --> 02:11:25,000
Speaker 16: you actually like, I know I can find this thing

2557
02:11:25,160 --> 02:11:25,960
Speaker 16: and you go for it?

2558
02:11:26,360 --> 02:11:29,800
Speaker 4: All right? Well? Thanks, thanks for callers on how long

2559
02:11:29,880 --> 02:11:31,680
Speaker 4: do you look for golf ball before you give up

2560
02:11:31,720 --> 02:11:34,160
Speaker 4: on it? There's a lot of factors you have to consider.

2561
02:11:34,360 --> 02:11:37,080
Speaker 4: One is are you in a serious match? If you're

2562
02:11:37,080 --> 02:11:39,160
Speaker 4: in a serious match, you only get three minutes anyway.

2563
02:11:39,320 --> 02:11:40,760
Speaker 3: Two, is there a group right behind you?

2564
02:11:40,960 --> 02:11:41,240
Speaker 14: Yeah?

2565
02:11:41,680 --> 02:11:45,760
Speaker 4: Is there a group right behind you? And how's the

2566
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:48,560
Speaker 4: day going? If you're chasing a score and it's and

2567
02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:50,800
Speaker 4: you've got a chance a really playing well, you might

2568
02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:52,720
Speaker 4: look hard for it. If it's just a fun round

2569
02:11:52,800 --> 02:11:56,520
Speaker 4: and you've already lost two golf balls anyway, and you're yeah,

2570
02:11:56,560 --> 02:11:58,240
Speaker 4: So it's all that stuff goes into the mix.

2571
02:11:58,840 --> 02:12:00,839
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, see if we can squeeze

2572
02:12:00,840 --> 02:12:02,280
Speaker 2: a phone call in when we get back on One

2573
02:12:02,320 --> 02:12:22,680
Speaker 2: Bill's Live Stay with Us all right, Backyard Buffalo Victory Monday,

2574
02:12:22,760 --> 02:12:24,879
Speaker 2: Chris Brown Steve to ask her with you want to

2575
02:12:25,000 --> 02:12:26,920
Speaker 2: check you in on your thoughts and biggest takeaways from

2576
02:12:26,920 --> 02:12:28,680
Speaker 2: the game on the tweet sheet, which is brought to

2577
02:12:28,680 --> 02:12:31,320
Speaker 2: you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

2578
02:12:31,360 --> 02:12:34,920
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills, where David says, we left before

2579
02:12:34,960 --> 02:12:37,920
Speaker 2: the fireworks show. We were in the van by seven

2580
02:12:37,920 --> 02:12:40,240
Speaker 2: point thirty and we just pulled into the driveway in

2581
02:12:40,240 --> 02:12:43,280
Speaker 2: Wisconsin at ten am. I don't know what day it is,

2582
02:12:43,600 --> 02:12:45,560
Speaker 2: but it was a fantastic game and a hell of

2583
02:12:45,560 --> 02:12:48,640
Speaker 2: a sendoff, A great weekend from my fourteen year old

2584
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:53,480
Speaker 2: his first Bills game. Drew hull Son of the Late

2585
02:12:53,560 --> 02:12:57,840
Speaker 2: Kent Hall said, red helmets, blue jerseys, white pants, and

2586
02:12:57,960 --> 02:13:02,480
Speaker 2: red socks are an elite look. They certainly popped. I'll

2587
02:13:02,520 --> 02:13:05,760
Speaker 2: say that that was great. Herb says how nobody wanted

2588
02:13:05,760 --> 02:13:08,960
Speaker 2: to leave the stadium, so many lifelong memories and friendships

2589
02:13:08,960 --> 02:13:12,800
Speaker 2: made over the fifty two year period. Jimmy says his

2590
02:13:12,840 --> 02:13:15,680
Speaker 2: biggest takeaway was Ray Davis and Mitch Trubisky.

2591
02:13:15,240 --> 02:13:17,480
Speaker 4: Were on fire. They were productive for sure.

2592
02:13:18,040 --> 02:13:21,680
Speaker 3: Jesus Life twelve says, crazy, we know the Jets defense

2593
02:13:21,760 --> 02:13:23,120
Speaker 3: isn't good. They used to be, right.

2594
02:13:23,400 --> 02:13:26,360
Speaker 2: Trubisky was ultimately comfortable and if Josh is that comfortable

2595
02:13:26,400 --> 02:13:28,640
Speaker 2: against the Jaguars, that would be incredible.

2596
02:13:29,080 --> 02:13:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jaguars a little bit better than the Jets.

2597
02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jason says that our defense is getting better at

2598
02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:37,640
Speaker 2: the right time.

2599
02:13:37,760 --> 02:13:38,240
Speaker 4: Go Bills.

2600
02:13:38,240 --> 02:13:39,320
Speaker 3: There's something he said for that.

2601
02:13:39,920 --> 02:13:44,160
Speaker 2: Yesterday's defensive performance, notwithstanding, because the Jets are abysmal on offense,

2602
02:13:44,200 --> 02:13:46,560
Speaker 2: but the job they did in the second half against

2603
02:13:46,560 --> 02:13:48,600
Speaker 2: the Eagles, the job they did in the second half

2604
02:13:48,600 --> 02:13:51,760
Speaker 2: against the Patriots a few weeks ago. I mean, they're

2605
02:13:51,800 --> 02:13:52,960
Speaker 2: peaking at the right jet.

2606
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:56,040
Speaker 4: And it seems like the Bills coaching staffs getting a

2607
02:13:56,080 --> 02:13:58,280
Speaker 4: handle on what they're good at and kind of leaning

2608
02:13:58,360 --> 02:14:02,960
Speaker 4: into it, and the players are developing, and they're getting

2609
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:04,880
Speaker 4: some real solid play from the guys who are, you know,

2610
02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:07,080
Speaker 4: the Trey Whites and Matt Mulanos of the world, and

2611
02:14:07,120 --> 02:14:09,560
Speaker 4: the joy Bosas turning back the clock. They're turning back

2612
02:14:09,600 --> 02:14:13,120
Speaker 4: the clock a little bit, Jordan Poyer's So it's it's

2613
02:14:13,200 --> 02:14:15,720
Speaker 4: nice to see that stuff. That stuff makes a difference.

2614
02:14:15,760 --> 02:14:17,560
Speaker 4: Now when you get into these playoff games, you're you're

2615
02:14:17,600 --> 02:14:20,120
Speaker 4: gonna talk like three plays throughout the game that could

2616
02:14:20,120 --> 02:14:20,440
Speaker 4: turn it.

2617
02:14:21,040 --> 02:14:23,760
Speaker 2: Finally, from Vince, it was an absolute magical celebration, a

2618
02:14:23,800 --> 02:14:25,960
Speaker 2: bookend moment for me. I was at the first ever game.

2619
02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:28,560
Speaker 2: The biggest takeaway was the way that the backups played.

2620
02:14:28,560 --> 02:14:30,600
Speaker 2: They put the rest of the league on notice that

2621
02:14:30,640 --> 02:14:33,440
Speaker 2: the wagons are loaded and they're coming for you. All Right,

2622
02:14:33,440 --> 02:14:36,040
Speaker 2: Steve and I will have a lot more to discuss tomorrow.

2623
02:14:36,320 --> 02:14:38,160
Speaker 2: We'll see you at one o'clock. We'll have Dan or

2624
02:14:38,160 --> 02:14:40,280
Speaker 2: Alofsky joining us. We'll see you then
