1
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: Cut down Buffalo at a Steve Caster who has been

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: all over the field unique he was kind of a

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: dual role player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not

4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: even in the straded beard of normalcy Rick Burcade in

5
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: the backfield for Euston, but he's gonna throw it back

6
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: the throne picked off, intercepted Tremaine Edmonds picks it off

7
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: at the twenty eight and he gets spilled to the

8
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: ground right around the Buffalo thirty one yard line. David

9
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: spills through a right at Tremaine Edmunds and he comes

10
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: up with the interception the boss off of the shoulder

11
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen. The stamp Alan plumps once months twice

12
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: fires it now cut by Dotson knocks at the five

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: and he goes into the end zone. Touchdown Buffalo, a

14
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: double pump pick from Josh Allen. He finally hit Dawson Knox,

15
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: who went into the end zone for the Buffalo touchdown.

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: A twenty five yard strike ready to go the stamp,

17
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: Davis Mills makes a handoff, fires that it is intercepted,

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: picked off town field by Micah Hyde, and he goes

19
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: down immediately at his own forty five yards or at

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: the Texans forty five yard line. A bad ball drowne

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: by Davis Mills, intended for Brandon Cooks. He missed Batley

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: and Micah Hyde, and an interception Tiff Fram Here's the stamp.

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: It is Moss for the carry, chucks her traffic into

24
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 1: the end zonpe touchdown, touchdown Buffalo. You heard that before,

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: Zach Boss four yards away, touchdown Bills. It is a

26
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: second and six Texans at the Buffalo forty five the

27
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: stamp and back the throw going deep down all the

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: way down the field Mills, and it is intercepted at

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: the six yard line, picked off by Jakwan Johnson. Starts

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: back up field, gets a couple of blocks, and he

31
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: scoots out of bounds at the thirty two yard line.

32
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: He was going down field for Anthony Mitchell Travisky. The

33
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: snap blay action. Treviski's got clear, sailing into the end zone.

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: Touchdown Buffalo. He scooted around the left side on a

35
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: bootleg touchdown. Mitchell Travisky ads the Buffalo League. Davis Mills

36
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: had some time fires to his tight end, picked off,

37
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: intercepted by Menekevitch and he gets tackled as he heads

38
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: down field. He gets dropped at the Texans forty yard line.

39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: The ball in it out of the hands of Parrell

40
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: Brown right into the mid section of taner Medekevitch for

41
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo interception. That is your game rewind brought to

42
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: you by Toshiva, the official copier company of the Buffalo Bills.

43
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: Welcome into another Buffalo victory Monday. Chris Brown Maddi clab

44
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: with you here to talk about it as well as

45
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: the gigantic elephant in the room that is looming next

46
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Sunday night. We'll get into plenty of talk about the

47
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs matchup coming up, what it means, how the two

48
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: teams are entering that game, etc. Etc. But for now,

49
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: some discussion on what was an outright beat down in

50
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: which the Bills faced a team that was in stark

51
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: contrast in terms of talent, Maddie, they were just simply outclassed.

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Follow Bills to shut out a team for the second

53
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: time just through the first four weeks of the season,

54
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: this team has only done that three times in franchise

55
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: history where they've had multiple shutouts in a season, and

56
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: to do that really early in the season, I think

57
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: says a lot about what this defense has and how

58
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: they will be able to affect teams throughout the season.

59
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: Five takeaways for this group. They had six takeaways going

60
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: into the game, had five in this game. They had

61
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: three interceptions going into the game. Had four interceptions in

62
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: the game. So just to see the defense go off. Yes,

63
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: there were a lot of starters who were a part

64
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: of the defense, but it was also really convincing to

65
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: see guys like Jaquan Johnson go in, j Klein going,

66
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Cam Lewis go in and have an impactful day for

67
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Cam Lewis punches out a ball. They

68
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: were able to recover the fumble. I can't remember who

69
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: recovered the fumble at the top of my head, but

70
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: just a series of takeaways. Jakwon Johnson gets involved too

71
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: with an interception. So love what I'm seeing from this defense.

72
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Opponents have only scored forty four points against the Buffalo Bills.

73
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: That's the lowest in the league. Right now. They are

74
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: plus ninety in point differential, which is so far above

75
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: number two. I think number two is at plus fifty

76
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: or plus fifty five if I can remember that correctly.

77
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: So just to put forty points on the scoreboard. Do

78
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: it in back to back game scoring at least forty points. Yes,

79
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: if you get into the offense's day, they could have

80
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: scored a lot more points. But it was a big victory,

81
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: one that I think I wanted to see going into

82
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: the Kansa City Chiefs game. I mean, just the way

83
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: that they were able to beat the Houston Texans in

84
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: both phases of the game. A very convincing victory. So

85
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: it makes me feel good about what's ahead. Yeah, no

86
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: question about it. And you brought up an interesting point

87
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: about the players that did have to fill in yesterday,

88
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: whether it was like Bucker at left guard, or Jakwan

89
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: Johnson at safety and place at Jordan Poyer, or Cam

90
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Lewis in place of Tarn Johnson at the nickel corner.

91
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys don't just play a steady game.

92
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: They make game changing type plays. And I thought Micah

93
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: hydes comment yesterday after the game was very telling. He said, Yeah,

94
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: we were talking about it the other day. I probably

95
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: late in the week when it became evident that they

96
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: were going to need to call on some other guys

97
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: because Taren Johnson and Jordan Poyer weren't going to be

98
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: available on defense, and he said, we have a farm

99
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: system here, Like they just develop guys that are second

100
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: and third on the roster terms of the depth chart

101
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: at a given position, and when they have to step

102
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: into a game situation, they are invariably ready and not

103
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: just ready, but like ready to shine. I mean, I understand. Look,

104
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: we got to take it all with a grain of salt.

105
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: I get it. It's the Houston Texans who kind of

106
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: re established themselves as the worst team in football yesterday

107
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: because the Jets won the Giants one. So there were

108
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,559
Speaker 1: some teams near the bottom of the league that people

109
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: would put in company with Houston that are starting to

110
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: show signs of life. Houston was somewhere in the sewer

111
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: somewhere yesterday. They sunk so low it was terrible. But

112
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: that should not take away from what we talk about

113
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: a lot on this show, Steve and I do, anyway, Maddie,

114
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: about the player development that is here. With respect to

115
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. We know the college scouting department in

116
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: the front office does a great job of mining for

117
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: talent in the college ranks, but the development job that

118
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: this coaching staff does to get players ready to play,

119
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: there is a lot of focus across this league on

120
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: getting your starters ready to play, and that is an

121
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: obvious prerequisite if you want to be successful in this league.

122
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: But we also know this is one hundred percent injury league,

123
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,679
Speaker 1: and if you do not properly develop the players behind

124
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: those top line guys, it's going to be hard to

125
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: sustain success through the course of what is now a

126
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: seventeen game regular season. So to see that development come

127
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: to fruition in the fashion that we saw yesterday, I

128
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: think is very very encouraging going forward because you're going

129
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: to have other injuries between now and the end of

130
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: the season. It's just a fact. It's the way the

131
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: league goes. I know I'm not telling you anything you

132
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: don't know, but I was just very encouraged to see

133
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: that kind of response from the three guys that had

134
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: to step into the starting lineup on offense and defense respectively. Yeah,

135
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: I think development is just as important as how you

136
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: draft players. Every player is going to need to develop

137
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: once they get to their NFL team. Coming from college football,

138
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: you can't just step onto the field for your first

139
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: career NFL game and expect to perform like you did

140
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: in college. It takes a lot to develop guys, and

141
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: not every coaching staff is good at that. Not every

142
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: coaching staff puts the emphasis on developing every single player

143
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: from your first string guys to your fourth string guys.

144
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Some coaching staffs focus on, you know, your first and

145
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: second string guys, and your third and fourth string guys

146
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: don't get the time that maybe they need to develop.

147
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: That's not the case here. Everybody gets reps. Everybody gets

148
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: reps in training camp. I think it speaks to also

149
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: the volume of competition that we have at each position.

150
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: I think that levels up everyone's play on the field

151
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to practicing every week to get ready

152
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: for your opponent. I mean Spencer Brown had his first

153
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: NFL start yesterday. He had a decent game. Ike Bucker

154
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: has played and started in multiple games now last year

155
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: started and I think six games. He's someone who is

156
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: just a shoein when they need him on the offensive line.

157
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean Cam Lewis is a local Buffalo guy who

158
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: they've been able to develop into a corner or a

159
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: nice nickel corner. How he played yesterday. Jaquon Johnson, someone

160
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: who is in his third year on this team, has

161
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: been waiting for that opportunity. But when you have safeties

162
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: like Micah Hide and Jordan Poyer, you don't get a

163
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities to get on the field in an

164
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: actual game. He's the special teams guy, and so the

165
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: fact that he was ready for that opportunity, I think

166
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: says a lot just because knowing Jordan Poyer, I think

167
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: played in sixty straight games or started in sixty straight games,

168
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: so he's not someone who usually misses a game. So

169
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: really proud of the guys who are able to step

170
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: up in people's places and act like you know, there

171
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: was there was no drop off. They went in, they

172
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: had a good game. It makes me feel good about

173
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: what we have for the rest of the season, because,

174
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: as you said, this is an injury prone league. You're

175
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: gonna have guys that get knocked out of games. We

176
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: hope we are luckier than some other teams when it

177
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: comes to injuries, but hey, when guys get injuries, we

178
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: have depth to back up anyone on this team. Yeah,

179
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: no question about it. And while the offense has been

180
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: racking up points like they're going out of style, one

181
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen points in their last three games, and

182
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: you say, well, man, you know thirty five, forty three,

183
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: and forty It's the second highest scoring output in team

184
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: history for a three game span. And I was like, Oh,

185
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: I wonder when the last time they did that one?

186
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: It was the last three games of the regular season

187
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: last year, it was it was like ten months ago,

188
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: so it's like what we just did. And then I

189
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: was I reminded myself, Oh yeah, Denver game, the last

190
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: game against the Dolphins, you know, so forty eight, thirty

191
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: five and fifty six to close out the season. I

192
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's right. Yeah, Okay, so we've been

193
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: there and done that with largely the same group. So yeah,

194
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: And as great as that has been, I think through

195
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: this first month of the season, we can definitively say

196
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: what is most changed about this team is the defense

197
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: is back. It is back, It is dominant, and it

198
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: is turning this team into a very, very very difficult

199
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: team to beat. When the defense is harassing quarterbacks and

200
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: committing to coverage and forcing turnovers and the offense is

201
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: clicking the way it is, there's not many teams in

202
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: this league that are going to even be able to

203
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: hang with this team, let alone beat this team. And

204
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: the timing would seem good for the way they are

205
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: playing right now going into that Chief game Sunday night

206
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: coming up at Arrowhead. Obviously, player availability Maddie is going

207
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: to be a big part of the equation because what

208
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: is Jordan Poyer's status, Will he be ready to play

209
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: this week? What is Matt Milano's status, who was shut

210
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: down in the first half of that game yesterday with

211
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: what was labeled a hamstring injury. We know he has

212
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: had chronic hamstring injuries in his career here in Buffalo,

213
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: and as misstime because of it, did they pull him

214
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: out because it was only a mild injury and they said,

215
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: let's not make it worse. We need you next week,

216
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: or is it something worse. We'll hopefully find out or

217
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: at least get some kind of update from coach McDermott

218
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: later this afternoon when he addresses the media, and maybe

219
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: he can at least inform people as to whether it's

220
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: a day to day thing or a week to week thing,

221
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: and hopefully, I think we're all hoping it's day to day.

222
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: Knowing how critical Matt Milano is to the success of

223
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: this defense, especially when you're playing an offense, the cab

224
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs, who oh, by the way, exploded in

225
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: a gigantic way all over the Eagles field yesterday. Oh

226
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, Patrick Mahomes, Tyree Hill, they are back at

227
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: it together. Patrick Mahomes had like two shovel passes for touchdowns,

228
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: then had a ball that he threw really low to

229
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill first first touchdown. I mean the way that

230
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: he was able to feed it into the players in

231
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: the red zone and on the goal line. I mean,

232
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: he had some really great throws. But also I think

233
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: some of those throws that he had, some of those

234
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: big play throws that second touchdown to Tyree Hill where

235
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: he was facing the blitz and kind of just aired

236
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: it out as he was getting brought to the ground.

237
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: I think our defense picks off a pass like that.

238
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: He did have single coverage to Tyree Hill for that touchdown.

239
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: But I was watching some of those highlights and I

240
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: was just thinking, you know, Patrick Mahomes has these crazy throws,

241
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: these crazy shovel passes that he hits on three out

242
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: of three that are you know, how do you make

243
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: those completions. I think our defense gets in the way

244
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: of some of those. I think our defense has stepped

245
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: up to the level where it needs to be to

246
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: be able to really throw Patrick Mahomes off. And I

247
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: think it starts with the pass rush. But yeah, the Chiefs,

248
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill. What did he say after the game? The

249
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Tyree Hill are back and the Cheetah are back. Yes,

250
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: and the Cheetah and the Cheetah are back. It's not

251
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: going to be an easy game. We are not playing

252
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: a Davis Mills, a Taylor Heinechy to a tongue of Iloa.

253
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: This is Patrick Mahomes, one of the best quarterbacks in

254
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. So the defense is going to have to

255
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: be on their p's and ques throughout the entire game

256
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: to limit some of these weapons. Matt Milano if he's

257
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: going to be huge in this game. I mean they

258
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: have the best tight end in the NFL on their

259
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: team and Travis Kelsey. And if I'm thinking back to

260
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: last correctly, didn't Matt Milano miss that Chiefs game last year?

261
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: One of the Chiefs games maybe during the regular season?

262
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: Was it Travis Kelsey went off? He might have been out.

263
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: You know what, we can check the game books from

264
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: last year and I haven't pulled up I'm trying to

265
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: look for it, But something is making me think that

266
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: he missed one of those games. Yeah, my memory is

267
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: unfortunately not good enough with respect to lineups, but we

268
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: can check it and see and find out what the

269
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: situation was for that week. Tyreek Hill had been kept

270
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: under wraps for the better part of the last three weeks.

271
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: After he exploded for eleven catches in one hundred and

272
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: ninety two yards against the Browns in Week one, their

273
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: next two opponents did everything under the sun to keep

274
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill in front of them and not get behind

275
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: them for big plays. They were bracketing coverage with him,

276
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: among other things, and the Chiefs tried to go through

277
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and run their passing game through him, which

278
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: you know has its measure of effectiveness too. Travis Kelsey

279
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: killed the Bills last year in the playoff game, And

280
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: so while I understand you don't want to give up

281
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: the big play to Hill, the Chiefs still have another

282
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: option to turn to there very quietly. The Chiefs also

283
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: ran for two hundred yards on the ground yesterday against

284
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: a pretty good defensive front, at least in terms of

285
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: their defensive line in that of the Eagles. But once

286
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: Tyreek was off and running. I think it just had

287
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles head spinning defensively, and they never recovered just

288
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: about every drive. They had six touchdown drives on seven possessions.

289
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: The only one that did not end in a scoring

290
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: play was because of an interception that Patrick Mahomes threw

291
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: late and unwisely over the middle there, and that was

292
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: the only drive by Kansas City's offense that was foiled

293
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: by Philadelphia the entire day, aside from the half ending.

294
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, they converted nine of their ten third downs,

295
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: So there's still the offensive juggernaut that we all believe

296
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: them to be. Ironically, Maddie, the Chiefs and the Bills

297
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: are tied for second in the league in scoring in

298
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: terms of points per game, So there's that Arizona Leasy

299
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: league in scoring case anybody was wondering. And then defensively

300
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: is where the contrast is, because the Chiefs also gave

301
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: up thirty points. I mean, even if you don't count

302
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: the garbage touchdown that the Eagles got at the end

303
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: of that game where the Chiefs really didn't care, it's

304
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: still twenty three points to an Eagles team with a

305
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: quarterback in Jalen Hurts who threw for over three hundred

306
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: and fifty yards yesterday. I think through three eighty seven, right,

307
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: thank you through for three eighty seven, yes, and I

308
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: believe that's his first three hundred yard passing game. And

309
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defensively are thirty first in the league. They're

310
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: last in the league and yards per play allowed, but

311
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: they're only fourteenth in points allowed. So that's how they've

312
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: been able to kind of scrape by and manage to

313
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: two and two record here. But I think that is

314
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: where the main difference lies in how the Chiefs and

315
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: the Bills are different from one another this year. The

316
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: Bills have shown they can put points on the board,

317
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: so two of the Chiefs, but the Chiefs have had

318
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: a tough time stopping anybody now. At the same time,

319
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: for the most part, they've played better quarterbacks than the

320
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: Bills have. Baker Mayfield Justin Herbert, so they've faced some

321
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: pretty darn good qbs through the first few weeks of

322
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: the season, and Lamar Jackson. So yeah, there's been a

323
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: difference in who they've faced than who the Bills faced.

324
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: So where is how big is the difference? Probably not

325
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: as pronounced as we see it on paper, but I

326
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: think there is a difference. They're still trying to find

327
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: themselves on defense. It seems to me, Maddie, Yeah, and

328
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to find it in Week five.

329
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: If they allowed thirty points to the Philadelphia Eagles, I

330
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: think this is a telling sign that the Chiefs defense

331
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,719
Speaker 1: is going to give the Buffalo Bills opportunities to score.

332
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: And I look at the red zone opportunities that the

333
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Bills had yesterday. They had seven. They scored on three

334
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: of those opportunities, which is lower than their average to

335
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: start the season. They didn't complete or convert as many

336
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: third downs as they have to start the season either.

337
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: They were five of twelve third down which was a

338
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 1: little bit lower than their average in the first three games.

339
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: So they are going to have to take advantages advantage

340
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: of those opportunities that they get that the Chiefs defense

341
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: presents them, because I think they're going to be there.

342
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: The question is can the Buffalo Bills really take advantage

343
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: of what they're given. Put thirty points on the scoreboard,

344
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: make it a game. We know the Kansas City Chiefs

345
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: are going to score with how they played against the

346
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, putting up forty two points. If this team

347
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: is back, They're going to have a good offensive day.

348
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: Even with what are deep can do and hard defense

349
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: can limit the CANCI Chiefs, They're still going to find

350
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: ways to score because they're the canc Chiefs. So I

351
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: think this is going to be on our offense to

352
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 1: take advantage of every small, minute, little opportunity that they

353
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: are handed. You were right, Matt Milanna did not play

354
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: in that game last year. Also out in that game

355
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, which is an interesting absence as well. That

356
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: completely slipped my mind too, so tho he had the

357
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: calf injury at that point in time, I believe last

358
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: season miss that Chiefs game also, So if you can

359
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: factor both of those guys into the equation, especially with

360
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: the way Knox is playing now four touchdowns in his

361
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: last three games and is really becoming a major, major

362
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: red zone threat for the Bills, those are good things

363
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: to have. So we'll be keeping a close eye on

364
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: what Milano's status is as the week moves along. Here.

365
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: After leaving yesterday's game with the hamstring injury, got a

366
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: full slate for you here today. We will be going

367
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: around the locker room later on in the show. We

368
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: will also have Eric Wood joining us as he does

369
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: every Monday in the second or excuse me, in the

370
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: third hour of the show. And we've also got after

371
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: a Bill's victory, another edition of the Mannie Awards, which

372
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: is coming up in about an hour and ten minutes

373
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: from now, so stay tuned for that as well. And obviously,

374
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: coming off of this victory, we'd like to know because

375
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: everybody was pretty anxious to put Houston to bed, including

376
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: the Bills yesterday on the field, and now that that's

377
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: been done, we move forward, maybe a little more prematurely

378
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: than we usually do Mannie Usually we kind of rehashed

379
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: the game that was, but I think people are already

380
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: squarely focused on this upcoming matchup in primetime Sunday night

381
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: football against the Kansas City Chiefs. So the Twitter conversation today,

382
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: what level of confidence do you have in the Bills

383
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: going into the Chiefs game? Not so sure, semi confident

384
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: or confident? Those are your choices. You can also let

385
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: us know why on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live,

386
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: where you can give us a call. Eight oh three

387
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty,

388
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 1: among the other numbers Maddie that I was crunching this

389
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: morning prior to the show. I mentioned, like, the Bills

390
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: defense has been great. They are leading the league in

391
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: eleven different defensive categories. It is wall to wall domination here.

392
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: And among the categories, they lead in total yards allowed

393
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: per game, total yards per play, past defense, first downs allowed,

394
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: points allowed, interception percentage, point differential, yards per game, differential,

395
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: red zone defense, and total takeaways. I mean that that

396
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. I mean, I know they're not playing again,

397
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: as you said earlier, fantastic upper echelon quarterbacks, but it's

398
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: still the NFL. I mean, to dominate wall to wall

399
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: in that kind of fashion, I mean, that's it's pretty

400
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: hard to do. Here's one thing that's funny, as I

401
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: have some stats pulled up, so they rank so high

402
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: in all these categories. They rank thirtieth in the league

403
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: with only two hundred and two tackles. I did not

404
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: know that, But I mean the fact that they're allowing

405
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: only two hundred and sixteen total yards a game. That

406
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: is impressive in the NFL. Two hundred and sixteen yards

407
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: a game, Like, come on, they allowed one hundred and

408
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: nine yards to the Houston Texans yesterday they allowed a

409
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: passer rating of like twenty three on Davis Mills. Yes,

410
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: these aren't the best quarterbacks in the league, but this

411
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: is what you want to see the defense do against

412
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like this. You want to see them obliterate the team.

413
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: They shut out the Houston Texans. They should have shut

414
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: out the Houston Texans. They did. These are really good

415
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: signs of what is to come when they face some

416
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: tougher quarterbacks, which they will on Sunday night. You want

417
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: to see the defense have a day against these teams.

418
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: And they really have. I mean, eleven takeaways in four games,

419
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: twelve sacks in four games. They're allowing completion percentage of

420
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: fifty six percent against quarterbacks. These are all really good signs. Yeah,

421
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: And the reason their ranks so low in total tackles

422
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: is because they're off the field so darn fast. They're

423
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: not playing enough plays on defense to rank high high

424
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: in that category because they're getting off the field so well.

425
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: Their third down defense, incidentally, is fourth in the league

426
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: right now, so one of the few categories where they're

427
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: not number one or ranked number one through four games.

428
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: Some of these numbers might change too after the Monday

429
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: night game tonight between the Raiders and the Chargers, So

430
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: we'll see, because the Raiders have some decent defensive numbers,

431
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: although I don't know if they're going to be able

432
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: to overtake those of the Bills, and the Chargers just

433
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: haven't been consistent enough on defense to really threaten any

434
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: of those numbers either, So all indications are they'll still

435
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: be top in the league in a lot of these

436
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: defensive categories, which is downright impressive as far as I'm concerned.

437
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: The other thing that I found interesting, Maddie, that I

438
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: think is kind of gone by the wayside a little bit.

439
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass has been kicking butt here from the start

440
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: of the season. And yes, when you play for a

441
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: high scoring team, you get a lot of opportunities to

442
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: rack up points. But right now, Tyler Bass leads the

443
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: league in points forty four on the season. He also

444
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: leads the AFC with nineteen touchbacks on kickoffs, and I

445
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: thought Josh Allen had a really nice thing to say

446
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: about Tyler Bass yesterday. Because the kickers on football teams

447
00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: are always considered to be an entity unto themselves. They

448
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: come out for granted, some of the most important plays

449
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: of the game. But they're not grinding in the way

450
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: that you know your other players on offense and defense

451
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: kind of you know, handle practice every week, contact, you know,

452
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: the physical toll that it takes. It's just not the same.

453
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: And so you know, years ago they were kind of

454
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: considered as like an ancillary part of the team. But

455
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: it's it's clear to me, especially after what Josh said

456
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: yesterday where he basically called Tyler Tyler. He goes in

457
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: this league, you have players that are kickers, he said,

458
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass is a football player. So it's very clear

459
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: to me that Tyler Bass's teammates on this roster appreciate

460
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: his passion for his teammates, for the game at large,

461
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: and for the game beyond kicking. I just thought that

462
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: was kind of an interesting thing to note that came

463
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: out of the comments after the game yesterday that were

464
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: you struck by that at all? Or I was? But

465
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: I think that's how this team feels about him. I mean,

466
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: you ask Stefon Diggs about Tyler Bass, you ask any

467
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,719
Speaker 1: of our really great players about Tyler Bass, and they

468
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: all have similar things to say. I think Tyler Bass

469
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: and Stefon Diggs have a handshake that they do together.

470
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs was telling us about that last week, and

471
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: I also think when you're a kicker or you're a

472
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: specialist in this league, a lot of it is on

473
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: you in terms of what you do during practices, how

474
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: much you practice, what you decide to practice at practice.

475
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: Of course, Keith Farwell is over with the specialist throughout

476
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: the entire practice, but he's with different groups of the

477
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: special teams. A lot of the times the kicker will

478
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: go inside and work on kicking field goals. They're not

479
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: always out on the practice field with the entire team.

480
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of individual stuff for the kicker

481
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: throughout practice. So I think that says a lot about

482
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: how dialed in he is to everything he does during

483
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: the day, to what he's practicing, to trying to be

484
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: perfect all the time. I mean, he hit four field

485
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: goals yesterday. That's the second most in a single game

486
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: for him. He is now the second NFL player since

487
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty to record one hundred and eighty five or

488
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: more points in his first four in his first twenty

489
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: regular season games, So he joins Harrison Bucker in that,

490
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: and he's doing this in his second year in the NFL.

491
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: So they have a good one in Tyler Bass. Yeah,

492
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: no question about it. Mattie and I have to take

493
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: a break here, but be sure to get on the

494
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. Let us know what level of confidence you

Speaker 1: notes from yesterday's action, but we will get into a

501
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: little bit more depth on that subject when we return.

502
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: As the other New York teams that play in New

503
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: Jersey both got their first wins of the season. What

504

Speaker 1: else happened across the league? We'll fill you in next

518
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: Jim and only end. Jim. What do you have for us?

519
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: You're on one Bills Live. Hey, guys, watch the show

520
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: and loving it right now. I got very high confidence

521
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. I think they're a very scary

522
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: football team. I think Week one may have been an

523
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: aberration or the Bills maybe just knocking the rest stop.

524
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: But right now I think the Buffalo Bills are very scary.

525
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: What do you think is the biggest difference this year

526
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: meeting the Chiefs with this team as opposed to last year.

527
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: Definitely the defense. I was thinking last year, boy, if

528
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: they could strengthen up their defense a little bit. They

529
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: got a complimentary running game. Now it seems yes it

530
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: was against Houston, but if they can keep that up

531
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: along with their passing attack, the sky is the limit

532
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, just stay healthy, right we appreciate the college, right,

533
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: thanks very much, We appreciate it. So, Maddie, he brought

534
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: up a secondary point there that I think is also

535
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: gone by the board somewhat. The run game. It seems

536
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: like it is something that the Bills have shown, at

537
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: least through the first four weeks that when they need

538
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: to lean on it, they can count on it. Yeah,

539
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: they went for almost one hundred, almost two hundred rushing

540
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: yards yesterday that had one hundred and ninety nine, But

541
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean you look at the splits between Singletary and Moss.

542
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: They each had fourteen carries, both went over sixty rushing yards,

543
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: and Zack Moss with another rushing touchdown. He has four

544
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: total touchdowns on the season, three rushing touchdowns, one receiving touchdown.

545
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: So it's been good to see them get involved in everything.

546
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this is also what we wanted to see

547
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: out of this team this season, was can this team

548
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: be more balanced when they need to? Can this team

549
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: go to the run when they take away the pass

550
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: when they're turned one dimensional? Well, I'm pretty convinced that

551
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills can use their run game to get

552
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: a win if they need to. Right now, it's been

553
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more pass heavy than run heavy, but

554
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: I think that's all what we guessed. But to see

555
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary and Zach Moss be involved like they have

556
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: to start the season is I'm convinced by their improvement

557
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: from last year to this year. I know Devin Singletary

558
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: had that fumble, which is something we don't want to see,

559
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: but hopefully they can fix that up for next week. Yeah,

560
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: and as much as I think the general consensus is

561
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: you really need to go score for score with Kansas City,

562
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: if by some happenstance, the Bills are up a couple

563
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: of scores, you know, let's just say, in a grandiose

564
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: idea that we're all dreaming of, they're up fourteen points

565
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: on that team in the third quarter and you don't

566
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: want to give it back to Patrick Mahomes so quickly.

567
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: That's where your run game can help you kind of

568
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: control the clock a little bit, stay on the field,

569
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: grind out yards and shorten the game. And I know

570
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: that probably flies in the face of what all the

571
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: analytics people say, but if they don't have the ball,

572
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: they can't score, So there's some measure of value in it.

573
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: And I wonder you know, if the Bills are fortunate

574
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: enough to get ahead of them by you know, a

575
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: relatively comfortable margin, although some would argue there is no

576
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: comfortable margin against the Chiefs. I wonder if if they

577
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: turn to that maybe a little bit more than they

578
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: have in the past. So just something to keep an

579
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: eye on, something that kind of popped into the back

580
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: of my head after seeing this running game work the

581
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: past few weeks. Let's get to some NFL news and notes.

582
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: We already mentioned how the Chiefs just put a whooping

583
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: on the Eagles defense yesterday. Mahomes throws for five touchdowns,

584
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: they win forty two to thirty, and as we know,

585
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: they're next on the docket for the Bills. And as

586
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: Maddy mentioned in his postgame interview, coming off the field,

587
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill said, tell everybody the Chiefs and the Cheetah

588
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: are back. It was his second eleven reception performance this season.

589
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: He went for one eighty six in this game and

590
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. As it looked to me, Maddie like the

591
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: Eagles game plan was to neutralize Travis Kelsey and not

592
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: let him take over the game. They accomplished that. He

593
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 1: only had four catches for twenty three yards. The problem

594
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: was the Chiefs ran for two hundred and Tyreek almost

595
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: had two hundred by himself receiving. Yeah, one hundred and

596
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: eighty six receiving yards. In a game, you've got a

597
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: game plan for a player like Tyree Hill. You can't

598
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: just take one of their weapons away because they're a

599
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: team like the Buffalo Bills, they have multiple weapons. They

600
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: are an offense that can be multiple, that can lean

601
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: on their run game when they want to, that can

602
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: lean on their pass game when they need to. I mean, yeah,

603
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey just four catches for twenty three receiving yards.

604
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: All the other receivers were twenty three receiving yards or

605
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: under because Ti Rekill just completely went off. Clyde Edwards

606
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: Hilaire had over a hundred rushing yards. So this is

607
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: an offense that you're going to have to game plan

608
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: to take more than one person out of it. You

609
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: can't just decide, you know what, we're gonna limit Travis

610
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: Kelsey today because we don't want him to go off

611
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: in the middle. That's what the Buffalo Bills are going

612
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 1: to have to do. They're going to have to take

613
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: away a lot of options on Kents City's offense, and

614
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: I think our defense has the personnel, has the players

615
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: to do that, just based on what each guy can

616
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: offer and what you eat, what each guy brings to

617
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: the table, and like we know, it starts up front, right.

618
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: The Bills also got some help within the division yesterday,

619
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: not that they need it right now, but any extra

620
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: loss for a division member the better in terms of

621
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: getting the division title. So even though the Jets won

622
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: their first game of the season in a win over

623
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: the Titans, which might all so in a way help

624
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: the Bills in terms of conference record, knowing the Titans

625
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: are expected to be at least sniffing the playoffs, Miami

626
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: loses to a winless Colts team yesterday, and I found

627
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: it interesting. I was looking at some of the reports

628
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 1: out of South Florida yesterday after that loss, and Mike Gisiki,

629
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: the tight end, was quoted on his way to the

630
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: locker room telling teammates on his way there, got to

631
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: stick together, fellas, got to stick together, because you know,

632
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: you go to one in three. Your record is the

633
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: same as the Colts now, who were winless before yesterday's game,

634
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: and their schedule gets no easier. I want to say

635
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: they've got Baltimore this week, but I'll double check on that.

636
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: Their first five games Steve and I talked about extensively

637
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: through the course of the off season when the schedules

638
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: came out, so they did not have an easy stretch

639
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: through the first five weeks. So they oh, they've got

640
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay next week. Yeah, they'caneers having fun with that.

641
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: Then their schedule gets noticeably easier for a couple of

642
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: weeks with the Jaguars and the Falcons before they play

643
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: the Bills a second time, and then they have Houston

644
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: after that, So really their schedule lightens up considerably. Baltimore

645
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: and Tampa and Buffalo probably three of you know, their

646
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: hardest games remaining on their entire schedule the rest of

647
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: the way here. So if they can somehow find a

648
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: way to be Tampa and be two and three, they

649
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: may have a shot of turning it around. But if

650
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: they go one and four in the first five, I

651
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: just don't know if they're capable of climbing out of

652
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: the hole. And the word is that two of might

653
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: be ready to play this week. Do you want to

654
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: put two back on the field after missing a month

655
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: to face that Buccaneers defense on the road. I don't know,

656
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: but he's your guy, so I guess you got a

657
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: role with him. But I hope his rooms feel good.

658
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I think I would keep

659
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: going to Kobe Brissette while you still can, especially against

660
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: a team like the Buccaneers. I mean, where's this Dolphins

661
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: defense gone of last year who led the league when

662
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills played them at the end of the season.

663
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a complete non factor. Twenty seven points. Yeah,

664
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: it's not thirty or forty. But Carson Wentz had a day.

665
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: And he has been a quarterback who's been struggling. Yes,

666
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: I know he wasn't the healthiest guy to start the season,

667
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: but he went off twenty four or thirty two, two

668
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight yards, two touchdowns, had a passer rating of

669
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: over a hundred. With how the Colts have started the season,

670
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: you think that you can kind of limit this team.

671
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: But the cold tongue one on the Miami Dolphins and

672
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense is what they were hoping to hang

673
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: their season on, hoping their offense would eventually catch up

674
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: and come along. Yeah, and they have not been able

675
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: to rely on that defense at all, let's go back

676
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: to the phone to eight O three fifty. We go

677
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: to Jean and Buffalo. Jean, what do you have for us?

678
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Yeah, I am. I think

679
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: our defensive ends have not been very impactful since the

680
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: Miami game. I know Jerry Hughes had a pretty good

681
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: game yesterday, but I really think they're in a key

682
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: to controlling Mahomes, right, And I think the difference between

683
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: Mahomes and you know, the quarterbacks they faced the last

684
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: couple of weeks is they're pretty much pocket guys. Davis

685
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: Mills is certainly a pocket guy. Taylor Heineke has mobility,

686
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: and we'll get out and extend to play when he

687
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: needs to, but for the most part, you know where

688
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: those guys are. Heineck also gets the ball out really quick,

689
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: so to expect a bunch of sacks against him, I

690
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: think was probably unrealistic. Even though I thought they'd get

691
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: some going into that game. It was very clear to

692
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: me early in that game that they made a point

693
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: of getting the ball out quickly so that Heineke wouldn't

694
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: be taking sacks for loss of yardage. So there are

695
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: different circumstances that sometimes come into play as to why

696
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: the pass rush is more effective one week than the next.

697
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: I did think they did a good job yesterday of

698
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: doing something similar to what they did in the Miami game,

699
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: which was take Davis mills first read away on the play,

700
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: forcing him to hold the ball longer than he wants

701
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: and now he's got to go to progressions. Time is

702
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,479
Speaker 1: running out, he gets a little bit of happy feed,

703
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: makes an ill advised throw, or ends up on the turf.

704
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Maybe you were anticipating a seven

705
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: eight sack day because they were playing a rookie quarterback

706
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: with his first road start. But again, they were effective nonetheless,

707
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: because the ultimate number that matters is what's up on

708
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, and for Houston yesterday that was zero. And

709
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: who knows if the sack numbers are going to be

710
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: up this week against the Kansas Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes is

711
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: a really tough quarterback to take down. They sacked him

712
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: once in the AFC Championship game, but they scored thirty

713
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,919
Speaker 1: eight points on Buffalo's defense. Even if the defensive line

714
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: doesn't get Patrick Mahomes on the ground on Sunday, all

715
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: they're trying to do is put pressure on him into

716
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: forcing him to make a quick, tough decision, whether that's

717
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: flushing him out of the pocket or taking a couple

718
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: of reads away from him, forcing him to move into

719
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: a number two, number three, and so on. So it'll

720
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what that game plan is. But

721
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, it starts with the guys upfront

722
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: putting the pressure on Patrick Mahomes. Do they go man,

723
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: do they go zone? That'll be interesting to see because

724
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: teams have played Patrick Mahomes differently, right, and I think

725
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: this week that the pass rushers are going to have

726
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: to be more disciplined in their rush. They just can't

727
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: blindly rush up an outside rushing lane and leave a

728
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,959
Speaker 1: gap behind them for Mahomes to exploit with his feet.

729
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: So it's gonna have to be a very disciplined pass

730
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: rush type approach, knowing the escapability that he possesses. We

731
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: have to take a break here, but Dan in Northtown,

732
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: I want to hang on. We'll get to you first

00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: in the last three games. We go back to the phones, though,

748
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: as we are already discussing your level of confidence in

749
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: the Bills going into the Chiefs game this coming Sunday night.

750
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: And here to wax poetic on that is Dan in

751
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: north Tonawanda. Dan, what do you have for is your

752
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live. Good afternoon. So you know, I

753
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: want to start this by saying that, you know, I'm

754
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: very happy so far with the season, and I think

755
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: that an offense that went three for seven in the

756
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: red zone yesterday and obviously, you know, did not have

757
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: the complete game as far as I would say, the

758
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: fact that they still won forties and nothing is amazing

759
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: and a great sign. So I have a high level

760
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: of optimism, but a very low level of confidence when

761
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: it comes to going into Casey for a couple of reasons.

762
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: And really what it comes down to is last year

763
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 1: they got absolutely smoked by Casey, not once but twice.

764
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: And both times we were going in ride and high.

765
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: You know, the team was looking good and they got

766
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: punched in the mouth, you know, and I know the

767
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: first meeting the defense was banged up. In the second meeting,

768
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: the offense was veined. I mean, you've got Molano potentially.

769
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: You know, player is going to be out coming up

770
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: this Sunday, but you're going to be in Casey. You're

771
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna have a full crowd of noise this time, you know.

772
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: And I think that my biggest concern that's that's really

773
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: impacting that confidence, That is the red zone. Everything to

774
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: do with the red zone, everything from the red zone

775
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: executions and the fact that for whatever reason, they just

776
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: can't seem to find the end zone when they get there,

777
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: and I'm also noticing on McDermott, it's almost like he's

778
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: lost that killer instinct that he had last year. If

779
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: you're if you're gonna go in and you're gonna get

780
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: that close, and you're gonna settle for field goals, camp

781
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: the city will year launch every single day you have

782
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: to score touchdowns. Field goals are not acceptable. That's just

783
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: just my opinion on it. Yeah, I mean I get that,

784
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: but yesterday's game was a far different one than that

785
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. I mean, there was no threat that

786
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: Houston was going to all of a sudden rip off

787
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: fourteen or twenty one points at any point in that game.

788
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: So you take the field goals when your offense is

789
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: in a little bit of a lull when it comes

790
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: to execution in the red zone. And they did that,

791
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: and Tyler came through with four field goals. As Maddie

792
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier in the show. At the same time, I

793
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: think John McDermott has demonstrated an aggressiveness he has not

794
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: previously demonstrated. And Maddie, I know you've seen this, just

795
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: the fact of the willingness to go for it on

796
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: fourth down almost in every instance this season, maybe with

797
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: the possible exception of being backed up deep in your

798
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: own territory, and even then, I think he's got a

799
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: fourth down go for its situation on his own half

800
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: of the field at some point this season. I want

801
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: to say it was the Pittsburgh game. So I think

802
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: the aggressive mode is there, and I expect it to

803
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: be employed against the Chiefs because they learned last year

804
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: if you don't remain aggressive throughout the game, it's hard

805
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: to keep up with them on the scoreboard. Now, Buffalo's

806
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,439
Speaker 1: defense might have something different to say about that fact

807
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 1: this year to help keep Buffalo in the game. But

808
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: I do expect them to be aggressive on offense. Yeah

809
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: do as well. This is a team who now when

810
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: they're when they're in fourth and short, I'm expecting them

811
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: to go for it in most situations and scenarios, and

812
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 1: I think they have over the last two years, and

813
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: they have quite a bit even to start the season.

814
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: And I think you go for it in situations where

815
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: maybe you don't need to because of what the score is,

816
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: but you go for it to practice for games that

817
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: are ahead, for situations that are going to be more

818
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: intense ahead red zone wise, the Bills ranked twenty second

819
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: right now in the red zone, converting fifty seven point

820
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: one percent of the time or scoring fifty seven point

821
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: one percent of the time in the red zone, I

822
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: think that's something that could be a big factor in

823
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: this Sunday Nights game. I mean, when they get in

824
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: the red zone, I don't think they're going to be

825
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: able to settle for field goals every single time or

826
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: four times like the Buffalo Bills did yesterday. I think

827
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: they're going to have to score touchdowns more often than not,

828
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: especially against a team like Kansas City Chiefs, who can

829
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: score quick and who can put some really quick drives together,

830
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: but also at the same time put some long drives

831
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: together and score. So I think red zone is going

832
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: to be a key factor in this game as well

833
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: as takeaways. I think you're going to have to take

834
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: the ball away from the Kansas City Chiefs at least once.

835
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a game that's won by

836
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills if they don't have any takeaways. This

837
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: team has had takeaways in multiple games since Week one,

838
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: and we've heard so many players say turnovers come in bunches,

839
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: takeaways come in bunches, So to see them have multiple

840
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: to see them have five in the yesterday's game. I

841
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: hope that takeaway streak continues for this team because that's

842
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: going to be an important factor as well on Sunday night. Yeah,

843
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: and Kansas City in case you were wondering, and you know,

844
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 1: our last caller brought it up, so I'll just expand

845
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 1: on it. The Bills right now fifty seven percent touchdown

846
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: efficiency in the red zone. They're twelve of twenty one,

847
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,959
Speaker 1: which indicates how they have stubbed their toe a little

848
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: bit down there through the course of the first four

849
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: games against defenses that aren't exactly leading the league in

850
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: too many categories. The Chiefs, meanwhile, are first in the

851
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: AFC twelve or fifteen in the red zone, including five

852
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: for five yesterday against the Eagles, So their offense is

853
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: humming right now. As we go into this gigantic primetime

854
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: affair on Sunday night at Arrowhead, they stand fourth in

855
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: the league because New Orleans, Seattle, and San Francisco have

856
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: been even better in the red zone eighty eight, ninety

857
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: and ninety two percent red zone touchdown efficiency. That's amazing

858
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: even after just four games. But Kansas City does lead

859
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: the AFC in that category. Let's go back to the

860
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: phones and squeeze one more in here. Before the break,

861
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: we go to Chris in Rochester. Chris, what do you

862
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Well. I

863
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: think one of the advantages that we have, and that

864
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 1: they've the last couple of weeks, is that they've actually

865
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: kept the gas pedal on for the entire game, as

866
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: opposed to going false rottle for the first half and

867
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: then kind of slowing down and backing off. They've actually

868
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: continued that all the way through the fourth quarter, and

869
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: I think that's will puts them at a big advantage

870
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: for next week's game. Right. I mean, I get what

871
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 1: you're saying there, Chris, because last year, we all remember

872
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: that the third quarter was the bugaboo for the Bills offense.

873
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: They'd come out of the locker room after a strong

874
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: first half and there was just this lull in their effectiveness.

875
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: Their consistency of play and drives were stalling out in

876
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: the third quarter and it allowed the opponents sometimes to

877
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: climb back into the game. And fortunately for the Bills

878
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: this year, I don't think they've been any more effective

879
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: per se. I just think the defense has been so

880
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 1: good that when the offense has had a little bit

881
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: of an interruption in their consistency, which we saw yesterday.

882
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 1: As we mentioned with the red zone possessions that ended

883
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 1: in field goals, it didn't hurt them because the defense

884
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: has been so darned good they don't let the opponent

885
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: climb back into the game. I don't know yet if

886
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo's defense is going to be good enough to sustain

887
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: a lull in play from the offense and keep Kansas

888
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: City from climbing back in the game. Just because of

889
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: the juggernaut attack that they are. I think they will

890
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: play better against the Chiefs offense. Will it be enough

891
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: to neutralize them to the point where the Bills offense

892
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: can stub their toe on two or three series in

893
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: a row at some point in this game and not

894
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: pay the ultimate price for it. That's the big question,

895
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah? And I think one thing to go

896
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: along with that, it's also about putting drives together early

897
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: on that are successful. What if the Bills do yesterday

898
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: on the first play of their first offensive drive, Josh

899
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: Allen throws an interception and you cannot do that against

900
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Then on the second offensive possession

901
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: that they had their second drive, they went three and out,

902
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: So I think you have to start this game by

903
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: putting together a couple nice drives. That's what they did

904
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: in the ANFC Championship game. They went out and scored

905
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 1: a field goal with just minutes into the first quarter,

906
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: and then Dawson Knox scored a touchdown two in the

907
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: first quarter. So yeah, they were able to put nine

908
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: points on the board in the first quarter, but they

909
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: only scored once in the third quarter. So yeah, I

910
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,279
Speaker 1: think it's keeping the gas on the pedal, keeping your

911
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 1: foot on the gas pedal throughout the entire game, not

912
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: just in certain quarters. But I think you got to

913
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 1: start fast and start strong in this game. Start fast,

914
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: finish fast, keep on scoring, don't stop until you're on

915
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: the bus going home. That's pretty much what they gotta

916
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: do in this one. On Sunday night, break time for

917
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: us here. But when we come back, it's time to

918
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: go around the locker room. You'll hear from head coach

919
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: Sean mc dermott, Josh Allen, Dawson Knox, Micah Hyde, cam Lewis,

920
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: and Tremaine Edmonds. Blentymore coming your way next here on

921
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 1: one Bill's Life presented by Collid to help It's Buffalo

922
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been all

923
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: over the fields kind of unique. He was kind of

924
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: a dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp.

925
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: We're not even in the stratosphere of normalcy. All right

926
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: here we are our number two Chris Brown. EDDI glab

927
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: with you on a Bill's victory Monday forty to nothing

928
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: over the Texans, and the Texans will help the Patriots

929
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: get back on the winning track this coming week as

930
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 1: they get to face New England, who is still smarting

931
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: after their narrole loss at the hands of the man

932
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: that won them so many games over the years. Tom

933
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 1: Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fortunate as Nick Folk

934
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: missed a fifty six yard field goal with just under

935
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: a minute remaining that was long enough but clanged off

936
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: the left upright and did not go through, and then

937
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: Tampa was able to kneel out the clock and win

938
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 1: nineteen seventeen. Good defensive game plan though, as usual by

939
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: Belichick and the Patriots, because even I thought that well

940
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 1: maybe I was foolishly hoping that Brady would light it

941
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: up Maddie. But then once I saw the rain there,

942
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 1: I was like, well, that's not gonna happen tonight. Yeah.

943
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: I think most of us were thinking, we talked about

944
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: on Friday during the show, like oh the Patriots stando chance,

945
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is going to rack the Patriots and it's

946
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: going to just be an offensive show out from the

947
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But it was a lot closer than

948
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be. I think the

949
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: rain and the weather definitely plays a factor in that.

950
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: But what a game that Bill Belichick called on defense.

951
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: He is such a great defensive mind in the NFL,

952
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: mixing things up quite a bit throughout the game, I mean,

953
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 1: impacting Tom Brady, a guy that he's so familiar with. It.

954
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: It was an interesting game. Seven to three. I think

955
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: it was the score at halftime. I didn't I didn't

956
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: make it past halftime, but caught up on some of

957
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: the highlights. Mac Jones had a pretty good game too.

958
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,479
Speaker 1: I think this was a game where Patriots fans walk

959
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 1: away thinking whether they were cheering for Brady or not.

960
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean they walk away thinking, wow, Mac Jones had

961
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: an impressive game as a rookie against a good defense

962
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was able to put up

963
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: put together some drives that made him look not like

964
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. And we talked about the poise that

965
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: Davis Mills had in his first star as the Houston

966
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: Texans quarterback as a rookie. I think mac Jones showed

967
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: that poise last night. Yeah, I mean, I think his

968
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: football IQ is far ahead of where most IQs are

969
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: for rookies in this league, even at the quarterback position,

970
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: and I think we saw some of that yesterday. I

971
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: was impressed that he was still able to make plays

972
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 1: without the benefit of any kind of run game whatsoever.

973
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the identity of this offense was supposed to

974
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: be a running game complimented with a short passing game,

975
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: so not too much was put on mac jones plate. Well,

976
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: the Patriots almost decided, we can't run against this defense,

977
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 1: and they were probably right in that assessment, but they

978
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: were borderline abandoning the run game and we're trying to

979
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: use a short passing game to kind of substitute for

980
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: what they couldn't do on the ground. They didn't do

981
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 1: mac Jones any favors, though, so yeah, I think they

982
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: only had two third down conversions at the end of

983
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: the night. But still in all I think we've seen

984
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: this from the Patriots before. They don't look terribly consistent.

985
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,240
Speaker 1: They don't look like they've put everything together in September

986
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: and early October. But you play this team after Thanksgiving,

987
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: mid mid December, they will be a better team. And

988
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: that's when the Bills play them. They play them in

989
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: December for the first time. I'm going to tell you

990
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: right now, they are going to be a noticeably better

991
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: football team then than they are right now, because that's

992
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: just the way Belichick works. Steadily, they get better through

993
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: the course of the season. So hopefully they don't get

994
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: too much better because that makes the task harder for

995
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 1: the Bills. But as we see there, the Bills don't

996
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: play the Patriots until December sixth, the week after their

997
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 1: Halloween game or their Halloween their Thanksgiving game against the Saints.

998
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: We want to take you around the locker room, though,

999
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: which is presented by connect Life, Your Blood and organ

1000
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: Donor Network, and we begin with head coach Sean McDermott,

1001
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: who talked about keeping the team focused on this game

1002
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: against Houston without looking ahead to the big game against

1003
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this Sunday night. I don't really think it changes.

1004
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: It's it's one win, certainly great to win, and it's

1005
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: hard to win in this league. So you know, our

1006
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: guys are gonna enjoy this for the next twenty four hours,

1007
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: and then we're onto Kansas City. I'm going back myself

1008
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: over here to watch them film and then I'll be

1009
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: on the Kansas City. And it's really about the consistency.

1010
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: You know, You've got to keep growing that growth mindset

1011
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: every week or else this league comes and bites you fast.

1012
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: And so you got to go into every week detaching

1013
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: from the week before and really respecting the process. Okay,

1014
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: that's pretty much the calling card that we've heard for

1015
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: each of the last five years. After games and there's

1016
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: a big one on the horizon, this team does not

1017
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: look ahead. He keeps them laser focused. So I don't

1018
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: think we're surprised at all by what coaches approach is

1019
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: even after this game, going back across the parking lot

1020
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: and watching film with this one so we can put

1021
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: it to bed and then move on to Kansas City

1022
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: after that. But if there was a game that you

1023
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: were going to look ahead, you would think that the

1024
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: Bills would have been looking ahead last week to the

1025
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. And my thing after during our pregame show,

1026
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: what I wanted to see out of the team was

1027
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: to not play down to your opponent, to not look

1028
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: ahead to what's next. And they didn't play down to

1029
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. They put forty points on the Texans

1030
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: and the Texans didn't score at all. So they played

1031
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott's type of football that he wanted to see

1032
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: and that they were focused and locked in on the

1033
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: opponent at hand. And now on Tuesday, Monday, they can

1034
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: flip the page to the Kansas City Chiefs. We usually

1035
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: hear the coaches and coordinators today this afternoon around four o'clock,

1036
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: and they usually kind of wrap up the game on Monday.

1037
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: Still there's still a lot of questions being asked about

1038
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: the team that they just played. But I would guess

1039
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: this week it's going to be quickly moving on to

1040
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs game, just because they know the

1041
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: opponent that they're facing and they know the talent level

1042
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: of this opponent. I don't think they want to dwell

1043
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: too much on the past learn from it. Yes, like

1044
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen said in his postgame press conference. But they're

1045
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:36,439
Speaker 1: going to quickly turn that page to being Chiefs week. Yeah,

1046
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: and there'll be some national attention for this game as well.

1047
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm probably not probably won't rise to the level of

1048
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: the return with Brady going back to New England this

1049
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: past week, but it'll be up there. It's probably the

1050
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: game of the week by far, so yeah, it's gonna

1051
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: get its fair share of attention through the course of

1052
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: the week. Josh Allen, he was asked to give an

1053
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: assessment of the team here at the quarter pole after

1054
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: four games, what do you think of what your team

1055
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: has been able to do on the field. Here was

1056
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: his assessment of that. Resiliency is one of the words

1057
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: that comes to my mind when I think about it.

1058
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 1: You know, it didn't start off the season and how

1059
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: we'd like to, didn't start off today play one how

1060
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: we'd like to. But it's you know, coach McDermot, like

1061
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: I said, does a great job of teaching situational football

1062
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: in complimentary football, and I think that's one thing we're

1063
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: doing a really good job of right now is feeding

1064
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: off of each other on both sides and really all

1065
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: on three phases of the football. So again, we got

1066
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: to continue to find ways to get better. Like I said,

1067
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: too many balls in the ground, too many balls and

1068
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: harm's way to day through the air. Sometimes that the

1069
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: defense is going to make plays. We understand that, but

1070
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: try to limit those opportunities as much as possible. Do

1071
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: you run the offense to know this that this defense

1072
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 1: is playing overall at the level that it is. I mean,

1073
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: it gives us a lot of confidence for sure that

1074
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: we can go out there, Aaron, Uh, not trying to

1075
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: force force plays down the field, understand that, Um, you know,

1076
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: we want to be us and that's continue to move

1077
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: the chains on third down. I try to skip third

1078
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: downs most importantly, but if we don't, we at least

1079
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: we're trying to end every drive and a kick and

1080
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,120
Speaker 1: understand that our our defense is going to have our back. Um,

1081
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: but we got to be there for them as well. So, uh,

1082
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're playing lights out right now and

1083
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: two shutouts in the last three weeks. That's that doesn't

1084
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: really happen in the NFL too often. So, um, you know,

1085
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: we appreciate those guys. They're playing extremely well. Coach Fazer

1086
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: and coach McDermot are getting them fired up and you know,

1087
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: put together good game plans. So not surprising to hear

1088
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: Josh talking to complimentary football. And you know the defense

1089
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: has been up to the task. I mean they've been

1090
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 1: handing them extra possessions left and right. Um. So when

1091
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,680
Speaker 1: you have eleven takeaways in four games, I mean that's

1092
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: eleven and I'm not even counting turn over on downs,

1093
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: of which there was one right at the beginning of

1094
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: the game yesterday, which was gigantic because Houston's got the

1095
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: ball on the bills thirteen yard line for a drive

1096
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: start off that interception, and I'm doing him well, all right,

1097
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: they'll be behind here. At least they'll get three. They're

1098
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: on the thirteen yard line for goodness sakes. But I

1099
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 1: think David Culley knew he was going against a high

1100
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: scoring team in the Bills, and he had to try

1101
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: to get seven down there because he may not get

1102
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: down there again. And they really didn't. So the decision

1103
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 1: was right to go for it, to try to keep

1104
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: the drive alive and get it in the end zone

1105
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. But turnover on downs I was huge. Yeah,

1106
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: I think the first quarter went three and out. Turnover

1107
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: on downs interception another three and out, So they were

1108
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: they were forceful and strong to start the game. The

1109
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: Bill's defense was and like you said, they're handing the

1110
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: ball to the offense frequently with the amount of takeaways

1111
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: and turnover on downs there have been. Right now, Buffalo

1112
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: is fourth for a time and possession, holding onto the

1113
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: ball for thirty three minutes and fifty two seconds a game.

1114
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,919
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs ranks seventeenth, doing it about three

1115
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: minutes less than the Buffalo Bills. And if you look

1116
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: back to the AFC Championship game, I think the Kansas

1117
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 1: City Chiefs held onto the ball for just a couple

1118
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: minutes longer, but there wasn't a stark difference. Yeah, they

1119
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: had the ball for thirty one minutes and Buffalo had

1120
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: the ball for twenty eight minutes. So time of possession

1121
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: I also think is going to be a big factor

1122
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: in this game as well. Dawson Knox, as we mentioned

1123
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: earlier in the show, has four touchdowns now in his

1124
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: last three games. He's becoming a viable red zone threat

1125
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: that opposing defenses are going to have to take into

1126
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: account going forward here. With what he's been able to

1127
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: do in the first quarter of the season. So here

1128
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: is Dawson Knox on his recent success within the scope

1129
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: of the offense. I don't think a whole lot has changed,

1130
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: but just kind of second good days. On good days,

1131
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: I can practice, you know, treating every day like it's

1132
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: a game. You know, just get mentally prepared, getting in

1133
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: the weight room. I mean, just the little things you

1134
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: do is start to add up. But little things that

1135
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 1: you do right start to aad up. And this guy

1136
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: does everything right throughout the week, and it's it's awesome

1137
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: to play with him. Oh thank you when in some

1138
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: more prom ficks, I mean, it's great. Um. I always

1139
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: like playing with the chip on my shoulder ever since

1140
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 1: I was a walk on in college. Just never being

1141
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: satisfied with my game is always a big thing, just

1142
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: kind of having that mindset of you know, you're never

1143
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: content with where you're at. But when I got a

1144
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: guy like him, you know, throwing to me and then

1145
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: the line doing a great job up front giving him time,

1146
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think our confidence as an offense is

1147
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: just gonna keep getting better. So the love fish continues

1148
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: between Josh Allen and Dawson Knox, and Dawson was so

1149
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 1: taken with the compliment from Josh that he's offered more

1150
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: prom pictures in the end zone, so we look forward

1151
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 1: to those. Although really is there any There really is

1152
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: only one prom picture poss right, Like, there really aren't

1153
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: a number of different I mean it's been the same

1154
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: one for about seventy eighty years. Yeah, I don't think

1155
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: you can mix it up with prom picks that much. Well,

1156
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: we'll see if Dawson and Josh can. But Dawson has

1157
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: definitely mixed it up with the ways he's been able

1158
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: to find the end zone. I mean four touchdown receptions

1159
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: so far this season he leads the team and touchdown receptions.

1160
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: I think confidence is such a big factor for him.

1161
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 1: He has said that so many times when he's talked

1162
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: to media since the season has started, and he's seen

1163
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: an uptick in being given the ball in the red

1164
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: zone and Josh looking to him because they believe him,

1165
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: They trusted him, not that they didn't last year or

1166
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: the year before. I just think that they saw his

1167
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 1: improvement over training camp, in those practices and knew that

1168
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: he could be a sure thing for this offense this year,

1169
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: and so being given the ball more, scoring more touchdowns.

1170
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: It's got to be a confidence builder for Dawson. Knox

1171
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 1: so pumped for him so far this season. We're gonna

1172
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: go back to the phones here at eight oh three

1173
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: five fifty one, eight eight five fifty two, five fifty

1174
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: open line for you there, and we go to Mark

1175
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: on a cell, Mark, what do you have for us?

1176
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, guys, I just wanted

1177
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: the storm game through Stockton out here in stock County,

1178
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: and then it moved. It was like a shower. I mean,

1179
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, you're like standing under a locker room shower

1180
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: and the water you have to spit it out. It's

1181
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: in your eyes that first half. They could have brought

1182
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: shampoo out and took a shower and they would have

1183
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: just cut dressed after the game. Okay, an interesting observation.

1184
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 1: It's like nobody gets it how bad it was. It

1185
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 1: was bad. It was coming straight down like a shower room,

1186
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: locker room. It's like playing football in the locker room.

1187
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: Come out of guys. You saw it, you see it?

1188
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: All right? So all right, So the weather was so Mark,

1189
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: So Mark, the weather was lousy. What's your point, like, Well,

1190
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: the point is the pills did good. I think they

1191
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: both did good considering the condition. Okay, go ahead, you

1192
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: don't listen to the radio, listen to me. Both did

1193
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 1: very good. He couldn't see where you're going. I mean

1194
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: you're trying to shampoo your hair while you're taking a

1195
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: throw to football or running the ball. I mean you know. Okay, Mark,

1196
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: I think we've we we exercised enough patients with that one. Um. Yeah,

1197
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: going way too deep down the metaphor hole there with

1198
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: playing in a shower, so I don't know, Uh, take

1199
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: your lufa and have fun. So uh yeah, I mean

1200
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: the weather was not good, and maybe that's his point,

1201
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: like the weather was so bad, maybe that's why they

1202
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: were kind of stubbing their tone in the red zone

1203
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: a little bit. Ball security was an issue at times yesterday,

1204
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: as we know. Um, but you've got to be able

1205
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: to overcome that in some way, shape or form, because

1206
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: I think we know this sport has played in the fall,

1207
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 1: in the winter, and conditions sometimes are going to play

1208
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: a factor, and whatever team is able to best overcome

1209
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: those conditions is usually going to end up winning the

1210
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: football game. So you can't use them as an excuse

1211
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 1: because both teams are playing in it. I think it's

1212
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 1: nice to know too, that the Buffalo Bills didn't let

1213
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 1: the rain get to them yesterday. They still scored forty

1214
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: points in a game where you could say, yeah, this

1215
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be a low scoring game because it was

1216
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 1: raining pretty heavily multiple times throughout that game, and they

1217
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: didn't really get too many breaks where the rain stops.

1218
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 1: And then you look back to last week and the

1219
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:42,719
Speaker 1: Bills won in a very windy game where Josh Allen

1220
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: was throwing against the wind and was asked about it.

1221
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 1: It was kind of like it was windy, It didn't

1222
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: matter to me. I still complete passes and still won

1223
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: the game. So I think you could look back to

1224
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: maybe the last two games and how the weather could

1225
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: have impacted the game, but the Bills didn't let it

1226
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 1: impact the game, and Josh Allen rain, snow, wind, I

1227
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: think you can count on him. Yeah, So what level

1228
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: of confidence do you have in the Bills going into

1229
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs game? Now? Eight three fifty eight five fifty

1230
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: two five fifty we go to Dan in Rochester. Next, Dan,

1231
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's life.

1232
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Christain Many a great job over there. Thanks. I gotta

1233
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: follow that call, Chris yeah, a chance to be a

1234
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: hero here, Dan, Yeah, how come we got to play

1235
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: in Kansas City again on the schedule. We played at

1236
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 1: Kansasy on the schedule last year, right, But it's the

1237
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: rotational schedule that the league has. So this year the

1238
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: Bills assigned divisions are AFC South and NFC South, So

1239
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: those are your eight opponents there. Then you have your

1240
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 1: six division games, which are played twice, right, each opponent twice,

1241
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,720
Speaker 1: So now that's fourteen games. You have the bonus game

1242
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: this year, which was the Washington game. That okay, that

1243
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 1: was the seventeenth game. So now you have two left

1244
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: where you play teams in the other two AFC divisions

1245
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: that finished in the same position in their division as

1246
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: you did in yours. Bill's finished in first, Chiefs finished

1247
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 1: in first, so they play the Chiefs. Now. They play

1248
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: one of those teams on the road and they play

1249
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 1: the other team at home. So it was AFC North

1250
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh finished first. We played them at home. That's kind

1251
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 1: of how it went. Okay, thanks for I think we're

1252
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:34,560
Speaker 1: going to beat the hell out of them anyway. You

1253
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 1: do you okay, very good, Dan, We'll take that to

1254
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: the bank. Thanks for the call. Eight oh three, five fifty.

1255
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: We go back to the phones, and up next there

1256
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 1: is Mike in Batavia. Mike, what do you have for us?

1257
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: You're on One Bill's Live. Hey, Chris made glad to

1258
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:53,679
Speaker 1: talk to you. Sure, I just wondering. Yesterday after the game,

1259
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:57,759
Speaker 1: I heard coach mcderman talk about having the team practice

1260
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: with a white ball this week in preparation, and then

1261
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: also would be red zone field goals. You know, I

1262
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: just got the feeling yesterday that coach McDermott didn't want

1263
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 1: to give the Chiefs too much and it was actually

1264
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: getting Tyler Bass more experience in bad weather conditions. Knowing that,

1265
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, this should be a pretty easy game for us,

1266
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 1: you know, why don't we do this? Okay, So you're

1267
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: you're operating under the premise that perhaps the Bills played

1268
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 1: a little more close to the vest last week, didn't

1269
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: get super creative in the red zone and settled for

1270
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: field goals, knowing there was also the secondary benefit of

1271
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: Tyler Bass getting to kick in the rain. To me,

1272
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that the thought process went quite that far.

1273
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: Believe me. Coaches sweat the details and coach McDermott sweats

1274
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: and maybe more than anybody else. But I don't know

1275
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 1: if that's enough of a motivating factor. And I can

1276
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 1: tell you just hearing Sean McDermot a few moments ago

1277
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 1: with the comments we played Maddie, There's no way in

1278
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: hell he was thinking about the Chiefs in first or

1279
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 1: second quarter of the game yesterday and saying, well, I

1280
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: don't want to throw out a fancy play here because

1281
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: we play the Chiefs next week. We want to keep

1282
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: that in our back pocket, so I'm just gonna let

1283
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:23,840
Speaker 1: Tyler kick the field goal. There's no way he was

1284
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 1: thinking about the Chiefs at all yesterday. Yeah, I don't

1285
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: think so. But I will say the Bills weren't going

1286
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,839
Speaker 1: to pull like trick plays out of their hat yesterday

1287
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: and test those out or test something out that they

1288
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: could be using ford Chiefs game or a game down

1289
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: the road. So yeah, they might have not pulled out

1290
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 1: all the stops yesterday because there are some that you

1291
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 1: want to save for a tougher opponent, for a game

1292
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 1: where you know the defense plays like this, so we're

1293
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: gonna play like that. But I don't think Sean mcdernot

1294
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 1: was too happy with the fact that they left some

1295
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: meat on the bone as many players said after the game. Yeah,

1296
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Back to the phones for one

1297
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,600
Speaker 1: more before the break here, and that is Mike in

1298
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 1: Cannon Digua. Mike, what do you have for us? You're

1299
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live. Yeah. I was just really impressed

1300
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: with just how good the Bills were able, especially the

1301
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:18,560
Speaker 1: offense just moved the ball. I mean it up and

1302
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: down the field in that weather. And I don't understand

1303
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:25,919
Speaker 1: that Houston. You know, they they don't have as quality

1304
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: as a start starters on offense. But I mean there's

1305
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: still a professional football team, and that's still a professional

1306
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: offensive defense, and and we just looked significantly better just

1307
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 1: all faces of the game. It was just it was

1308
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 1: it was I mean it was really like I know,

1309
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 1: the guy other guy got really weird over there talking

1310
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: about a shower and all that said, but I mean

1311
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 1: it was really common down there was a lot of

1312
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 1: main Yeah, and it was. It was very impressive. So

1313
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: I was, I was, and I was worried. I thought

1314
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,560
Speaker 1: that was maybe going to be a trap game. So

1315
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: hands off, and I'm proud of my Buffball Bills of today,

1316
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: that's for sure. All right, sounds good, Mike, Thanks for

1317
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 1: the call. I mean, he's right, but I think we

1318
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: also might be seeing two extreme, two teams at extreme

1319
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 1: different ends of the spectrum in the scope of the

1320
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: NFL landscape. Here, Houston completely blew up their front office,

1321
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: their coaching staff, their roster, and are literally starting over again.

1322
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 1: The Bills have been putting this thing together for the

1323
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 1: better part of the last four plus years and are

1324
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: going for the whole enchilada. You saw that difference and

1325
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: it was readily apparent in multiple instances on the field yesterday. Yeah,

1326
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 1: and I think this week is going to be good

1327
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: tests for this team. They started the season playing against

1328
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 1: a really good defense and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then they

1329
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 1: faced the Miami Dolphins, the Washington football team, and then

1330
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, three teams who are still putting it together,

1331
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: who are not a complete product like you could call

1332
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills or the Kansas City Chiefs. So this

1333
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: will be a test game for them to see where

1334
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: are you at. You played some teams that lack in

1335
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: different ways the last three weeks. How you go up

1336
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 1: against a team that is pretty complete in all three

1337
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 1: phases of the game. Yeah, yes, I mean three. The

1338
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: only phase I'm hoping is horrible again for the Chiefs

1339
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: is defense because that will certainly help a great deal.

1340
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 1: Break time for us here. But when we return, as

1341
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:34,719
Speaker 1: we do every Monday after Bill's victories, it is time

1342
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 1: to unveil the latest edition of the Maddie Awards, which

1343
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: are coming your way next here on One Bill's Live,

1344
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 1: presented by Colloid of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

1345
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: we know what time of the show we're at now,

1346
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 1: especially after a Bills win way through the program, and

1347
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: that means on a Bills victory Monday, it is time

1348
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:08,959
Speaker 1: for the Maddie Awards, presented by Energy Mark, the official

1349
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 1: energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills and Maddie. I have

1350
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: to imagine after a forty to nothing victory, there were

1351
01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:21,080
Speaker 1: oodles of candidates for this week's awards. I know it

1352
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: was hard to just pick a couple because you could

1353
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 1: really award any area of the Buffalo Bill's roster because

1354
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: several people, several players, several facets of the game went off.

1355
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna start with MVP Okay of the game,

1356
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna give it to the defensive takeaways

1357
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:44,560
Speaker 1: because those five takeaways led to twenty four points on

1358
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: the scoreboard for the Buffalo Bills, the way that they

1359
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 1: took the ball away, Tremaine Edmunds getting it started. He

1360
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:55,600
Speaker 1: was due for one, like you said, and like you predicted,

1361
01:16:55,760 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 1: in this game, he shows up with an interception. Happy

1362
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 1: for him, he hasn't had one in quite some time.

1363
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,719
Speaker 1: And then to see players like Cam Lewis get involved

1364
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: in the action. Jaquan Johnson has an interception in his

1365
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 1: first NFL start. Micah Hyde, I mean, you name it.

1366
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: The defense was all over the field. They love takeaways.

1367
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: They have come in bunches for them over the last

1368
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: three games, and fingers crossed that this continues, and I

1369
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: believe it can with the way that this team is playing. Yeah,

1370
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Mahomes doesn't turn it over often, but there

1371
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: have been a couple of instances this year already where

1372
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: he's made a couple of ill advice throws that did

1373
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: result in I n T s. Okay, So that's the MVP.

1374
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: What exactly is well, I can figure this out, but

1375
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 1: what is who's your hot hand? Hot hand? I had

1376
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: him as trending upwards last week, I think, and this

1377
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 1: week I'm giving him the hot hand Dawson Knox earning

1378
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 1: awards and back to back games. Two touchdown receptions for

1379
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:07,000
Speaker 1: him in this one. Four total touchdown receptions this season.

1380
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: He's got one hundred and forty four receiving yards to

1381
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: start the season in just four games. He had two

1382
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,679
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty eight receiving yards last year. I definitely

1383
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 1: think he's going to pass this with how they've been

1384
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: feeding him. Love what he's been able to do in

1385
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: the red zone for the Buffalo Bills. Love what he's

1386
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 1: been able to do for this offense. These catches that

1387
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 1: he's making the one we just saw, these are not

1388
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 1: catches that Dawson Knox makes last season. I'm not saying

1389
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: he's a terrible tight end last season or in his

1390
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: rookie year, but he has improved a lot. He talked

1391
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: about working with that vision specialist in the press conference

1392
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: yesterday and how beneficial that was for him. He looks

1393
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 1: like a confident tight end, like I've said multiple times

1394
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: already today. And he gets my hot hand because he

1395
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,679
Speaker 1: has had a hot hand to start the season. Okay,

1396
01:18:56,840 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 1: so we go from that to Impact Player Award. This

1397
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 1: a singular or a plural. We're going plural because there

1398
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 1: were a lot of backup, second string, whatever you want

1399
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 1: to call these players. There were a lot of players

1400
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 1: who are not usually starters on offense or defense came

1401
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 1: into this game and had an impressive game, had a

1402
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:20,879
Speaker 1: good game, looked like they were ready for the opponent,

1403
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: even when they might have been preparing Monday Tuesday, not

1404
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 1: knowing that they would be starting for the Buffalo Bills

1405
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday. So kudos to guys like Cam Lewis, Jaquan Johnson,

1406
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown, I Bucker, the shifting of the offensive line

1407
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,799
Speaker 1: that happened on that one play when Dawson, when Dawson,

1408
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 1: when Dan Dawkins came out for a second and came

1409
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,600
Speaker 1: back in. We've talked about it already. The depth of

1410
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 1: this team. You can go to number two, number three,

1411
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 1: and there's not much drop off because these guys have

1412
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 1: been prepared in the off season. They're a part of

1413
01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:00,080
Speaker 1: the game plan during the week, they get repst in

1414
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: the week, the veterans coached them up. They have good

1415
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 1: position coaches who make sure they're ready when it's their time. Also,

1416
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: Boogie Basham getting a sack in his first career start,

1417
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: So really impressed with with what some of our guys

1418
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:19,560
Speaker 1: who usually don't start, It wasn't too big of a

1419
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:23,560
Speaker 1: stage for them. They definitely played well, no question about it.

1420
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: All right, So what exactly is they can't complain award?

1421
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: That sounds very mixed to me. You can't complain award.

1422
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining about this run game anymore. What did

1423
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: everybody complain about last year? Ye, not on the pass

1424
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: run on a run game. We don't have a run game.

1425
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 1: Wherein is it? We don't have the running bags. You

1426
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 1: need to go and get somebody. Well, you know what,

1427
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 1: we do have a run game and it has been

1428
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:48,720
Speaker 1: performing pretty well to start the season. One hundred and

1429
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:52,120
Speaker 1: ninety nine rushing yards. I counted it up. They averaged

1430
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:55,920
Speaker 1: just under five yards per carry for guys who touched

1431
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 1: the ball. When it came to being involved in the

1432
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 1: run game, Dawson I keeps say DAWs Knox, he's on

1433
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: my mind because he's such a good player. Devin Singletary

1434
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 1: and Zach Moss both had fourteen carries a piece, went

1435
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 1: over sixty rushing yard yards each, Zach Moss with another

1436
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown. This is what we wanted to see to

1437
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:18,719
Speaker 1: start the season. From the run game. I cannot complain.

1438
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 1: I cannot complain here because they have done what we

1439
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 1: wanted them to do and hopefully this continues with the

1440
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:29,719
Speaker 1: guys we have in that running back Yeah, no question

1441
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: about it. It's been a pretty balanced effort two between

1442
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 1: Moss and Singletary, chiefly really only seeing Brita getting some

1443
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:40,559
Speaker 1: action in one game. All right, So we go from

1444
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 1: there to make me a believer award as we go

1445
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: around the league here, all right, make me a believer.

1446
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 1: There's been some quarterbacks who are younger quarterbacks or just

1447
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:55,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that we're not sure about this year, and I

1448
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: think a few of them had some convincing performances for

1449
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: people who are doubting these quarterbacks to start the season.

1450
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: Is it enough to completely change the opinion of everybody?

1451
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but it's a good sign for

1452
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 1: these guys. I mean, we already talked about the Patriots

1453
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 1: and Bucks game. What mac Jones was able to do.

1454
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 1: I know you said they only converted just a couple

1455
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 1: of their third downs, but with everything that was put

1456
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 1: on his back because they had negative one rushing yards

1457
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots did, I think he performed pretty well. A

1458
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback goes out and complete seventy seven percent of

1459
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 1: his passes. Yeah, sign me up. Two undred seventy five

1460
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 1: passing yards for him, two touchdowns. And then how about

1461
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke, a quarterback who we just faced. He had

1462
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: a pretty good game too, twenty three of thirty three

1463
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: against the Falcons. He had three passing touchdowns. They beat

1464
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: the Falcons thirty four to thirty So good on him

1465
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: for putting thirty four points on the scoreboard being part

1466
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: of that. And then what about Carson Wentz He started

1467
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 1: off the season? Oh, what does Carson on was gonna do?

1468
01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. Isn't the right decision for the Colts? Yes,

1469
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: it was the perfect team, but I don't know how

1470
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: this is looking. He threw some good balls against the

1471
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, who have defensive players, but they cannot figure

1472
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: it out. To start the season, beat the Dolphins twenty

1473
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 1: seven to seventeen. He completed seventy five percent of his

1474
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: passes through for two touchdowns. So hey, not too shabby.

1475
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 1: Miami's got a defense problem, and the defense was supposed

1476
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: to carry them this year. They have no pass rush

1477
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: and seventy five percent completion to a guy who just

1478
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:40,879
Speaker 1: two weeks ago was running around scared with no internal

1479
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 1: clock in the pocket. I gotta get that fixed, man.

1480
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Miami is in trouble, all right. Last one, the head

1481
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 1: Scratcher Award. I'm interested to see what this is about.

1482
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: Head scratchers. The Jets and the Giants winning. I mean,

1483
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 1: who thought it would happen? Who thought the Jets would

1484
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 1: beat the Titans? Well, in the same weekend in overtime,

1485
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 1: in overtime, both of them. Yeah, a missed field goal

1486
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 1: for the Titans leads to a Jets victory. Didn't see

1487
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: that one happening. That's got to be a head scratcher

1488
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: for me. And then the Giants victory also another head scratcher,

1489
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 1: beating the Saints, a team that has a guy named

1490
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara on it and some other good weapons. Didn't

1491
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: see that happening either. The Giants one, of course, in

1492
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: overtime with that se Quon Barkley touchdown. He has been

1493
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 1: not as much of a factor as people have wanted

1494
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:41,080
Speaker 1: him to be in this season. He's on one of

1495
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 1: my fantasy teams and I haven't been that impressed. So

1496
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 1: good to see him score a touchdown in overtime. That

1497
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 1: time you got your act together, all right. That is

1498
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:52,799
Speaker 1: a fitting end to the Maddie Awards, where you finished

1499
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:57,840
Speaker 1: with the Jets and Giants somehow emerging victorious in overtime.

1500
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 1: Although Daniel Jones man over four yards passing against these Saints.

1501
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 1: What the hell's happened to the Saints defense? They forgot

1502
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: how to cover people. It's crazy. I can't figure this

1503
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: league out. I really can't. It's just it's so topsy turvy.

1504
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: It's bananas. All right. Those are the Mattie Awards, presented

1505
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills.

1506
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 1: We will take a break here, but when we come back,

1507
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 1: we'll get some of your thoughts on the tweet sheet.

1508
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: And did you see what urban Meyer did after their

1509
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: Thursday night game last week? Not too smart? Not a

1510
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 1: smart move by him. We'll explain next here on One

1511
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Collot of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1512
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back. And we told you that we

1513
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 1: were going to mention Jaguars coach Urban Meyer of the

1514
01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: Owen four Jaguars, in his first year as head coach

1515
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 1: of that team, had to apologize to his team for

1516
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: becoming quote, a distraction due to his actions over the weekend.

1517
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: So Jacksonville plays the Bengals in Cincinnati Thursday night, Meyer,

1518
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 1: who was an Ohio native, decides to stay behind to

1519
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: catch up with family. Okay, you know it's a Thursday

1520
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: night game. You got a couple extra days before you

1521
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 1: got to prepare for the next opponent. All right, I

1522
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:29,679
Speaker 1: can see my way to that, no problem. So apparently

1523
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 1: he stayed behind. It included an appearance at an event

1524
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 1: in which photos and videos eventually emerged of Meyer, including

1525
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 1: one in which he appeared to be dancing with a

1526
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 1: young woman. Meyer, who was married, expressed regret Monday morning. Quote.

1527
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,560
Speaker 1: I stayed in Ohio to see the grandkids, and we

1528
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,639
Speaker 1: all went to dinner that night. There was a big

1529
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: group next to the restaurant. They wanted me to come

1530
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: over and take pictures, and I did, and they were

1531
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: all trying to pull me out on the dance floor,

1532
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 1: screwing around, and I should have left. I apologize to

1533
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,560
Speaker 1: the team and the staff for being a distraction. It

1534
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: was stupid, So I explained every thing that happened. Owned

1535
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:04,759
Speaker 1: it just stupid. I should not put myself in that position.

1536
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 1: He claims he's cleared it Maddie with the leadership on

1537
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: his roster. He said that the owners shot Khan was supportive.

1538
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: He said his family wanted to kill him. I just

1539
01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 1: don't get where he feels this isn't gonna be a problem.

1540
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 1: Like you're owing four, Your team is struggling, fans are

1541
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 1: an irate or annoyed. I don't know how passionate the

1542
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 1: fans are down there in Jacksonville. So just going out

1543
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:41,759
Speaker 1: publicly and knowing everybody's got a phone in their pocket,

1544
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,680
Speaker 1: how do you not know like this is gonna come up?

1545
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 1: And did it really happen where like you were having

1546
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: dinner with your family or your friends and people were

1547
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 1: calling you from the next bar to come over and

1548
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:00,040
Speaker 1: harassing you. Yeah, I don't know if it happened. And

1549
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:05,080
Speaker 1: like that, that seems like a pretty perfect scenario of

1550
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 1: events that unfolded. But what kind of a leader are

1551
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: you being to your team acting like this too? He's

1552
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:15,640
Speaker 1: not only being a distraction to this team that is

1553
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: Owen Forn struggling, but you're also not being a good

1554
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 1: leader or an example setter for young men who are

1555
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:25,519
Speaker 1: in your locker room. You're married and you're dancing with

1556
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:28,479
Speaker 1: a young woman. That is no way to act. And

1557
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 1: you know there's phones everywhere. Why are you going to

1558
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:37,240
Speaker 1: places like that? Why are you acting like that? He

1559
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 1: should know better, and I'm sure some of his team,

1560
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:45,440
Speaker 1: his players are are probably pretty disappointed in his actions

1561
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 1: and thinking that's not the type of person I want

1562
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:53,720
Speaker 1: my head coach to be. Plus, it's it's harder now

1563
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: for him to deliver the message and demand more of

1564
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 1: his players. I mean, this guy decided to take about

1565
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 1: well to twenty four hours off after the last game. Meanwhile,

1566
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: his players are going back and getting treatment in the

1567
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: training room the next morning, watching film back with their

1568
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: assistant coaches, and he's whooping it up. So I just

1569
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 1: doesn't I don't think that reflects well on him as

1570
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 1: it pertains to the daily grind and as they call

1571
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:22,880
Speaker 1: it here, the process that where you know the NFL

1572
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 1: so closely adheres to. So to me, I think it's

1573
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,200
Speaker 1: a heavier lift now for him to demand more of

1574
01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 1: his players and also for what type of process he

1575
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,280
Speaker 1: has in that building. This is a guy who who

1576
01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:39,920
Speaker 1: is a head coach in college football for so long,

1577
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 1: and he has carried a lot of how he coached

1578
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 1: like any coach does, but I think he's carried more

1579
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: college football things over to the NFL to the point

1580
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 1: where it doesn't sit well with every single player in

1581
01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:56,840
Speaker 1: the locker room. I'm looking and talking about the veterans

1582
01:29:57,640 --> 01:29:59,560
Speaker 1: with that. In the way that he coaches, in the

1583
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 1: way that he he demands things of his players, in

1584
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 1: some of the things that he says maybe seem better

1585
01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:09,720
Speaker 1: for a college football locker room than an NFL locker room.

1586
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 1: He might not be able to do some of that

1587
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:16,760
Speaker 1: stuff anymore because of how he has acted. Yeah, and

1588
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm just getting a little bit of a look at

1589
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:24,640
Speaker 1: the video which appeared on TMZ, and dancing is a

1590
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 1: very generous term for what actually happened, So we'll just

1591
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:36,000
Speaker 1: leave it at that. Unfortunate. You'd probably expect better from

1592
01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 1: a veteran coach. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Let's shift gears

1593
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:44,280
Speaker 1: here and go to the tweet sheet, which, as you know,

1594
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

1595
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. And we've been

1596
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:53,720
Speaker 1: asking you today what level of confidence do you have

1597
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 1: in the Bills going into the Chiefs game. JT leads

1598
01:30:57,040 --> 01:31:00,479
Speaker 1: us off, says confident, like Tasker says, we just have

1599
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:03,559
Speaker 1: to play better on that day, leave it all out

1600
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 1: on the field and contain Hill. If our defense can

1601
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:09,240
Speaker 1: hold a shutout through two quarters like they have since

1602
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:12,600
Speaker 1: the season started, and we convert our field goals to touchdowns,

1603
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 1: will win. Field goals will not cut it against Casey.

1604
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:17,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a lot of what we've said. But

1605
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: Steve's point, which he's made here time and time and

1606
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:22,680
Speaker 1: time again since they lost the AFC title game, is

1607
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 1: well founded. I think we all agree that Bills certainly

1608
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:29,680
Speaker 1: have enough talent and depth to beat the Chiefs. They

1609
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 1: just have to play their best game when they play

1610
01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and unfortunately they haven't been able to do that.

1611
01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:40,880
Speaker 1: When they play the Chiefs. Something has gone wrong, something

1612
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 1: has gone awry, someone has not played like themselves. There's

1613
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 1: always been not that there's excuses or we want to

1614
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 1: point to excuses as to why they have lost against

1615
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:54,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, but it seems like something is always off.

1616
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 1: And when you're playing against an opponent like the Chiefs

1617
01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: and you can't have something be off, every thing has

1618
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:04,320
Speaker 1: got to be on and firing, firing on all cylinders

1619
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:07,120
Speaker 1: throughout all four quarters. Yeah, and it's been a pretty

1620
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 1: balanced poll today. Semi confident is leading the way in

1621
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll forty seven and a half percent of

1622
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:15,760
Speaker 1: the vote. Confident, though, is ahead of not sure thirty

1623
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 1: one and a half percent, and twenty one percent of

1624
01:32:18,920 --> 01:32:21,639
Speaker 1: the voters in the poll said they're not sure about

1625
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:23,639
Speaker 1: what level of confidence they should have in the Bills

1626
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:27,240
Speaker 1: going into the Chiefs game. Max on the tweet Cheat says,

1627
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:29,360
Speaker 1: I hope the players and coaches are confident. That's more

1628
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 1: important than me watching from my recliner. But I'm semi

1629
01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: confident at best, probably because I'd love to beat this

1630
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 1: team so badly after last year. I'll forever hate this

1631
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:41,799
Speaker 1: Chiefs team. I'll be into this game for sure. Meanwhile,

1632
01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 1: John says the Bills can win. The Chiefs are not

1633
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:48,479
Speaker 1: what they were. The league has caught up to them.

1634
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 1: Maybe John missed yesterday's game against the Eagles because nobody

1635
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 1: could catch Tyreek Hill. I mean, yeah, Tyreek Hill went

1636
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 1: off for one hundred and eighty six receiving yards. And

1637
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 1: I understand Max's point in being semi confident, because I

1638
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 1: think a lot of us feel really confident about this

1639
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:15,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills team, and I think Buffalo Bills fans feel

1640
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 1: confident in what Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean have done

1641
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:21,800
Speaker 1: since they've gotten to Buffalo in progressing every single year,

1642
01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: taking another step in the right direction. But I feel

1643
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fans are also accustomed to the fact that

1644
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:32,640
Speaker 1: just when things get really great, something goes wrong, and

1645
01:33:32,760 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 1: that's been the case when they've played the Chiefs the

1646
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 1: last couple of seasons. It's just been, Oh, we're so excited,

1647
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 1: we have a great team this year, we can beat

1648
01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and we can't beat the Chiefs. Didn't happen.

1649
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:46,800
Speaker 1: Didn't happen again, didn't happen the ANFC Championship game. So

1650
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 1: I think cautiously optimistic and cautiously confident is probably how

1651
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:54,360
Speaker 1: a lot of our fans are feeling right now. Yeah,

1652
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:57,639
Speaker 1: we have to take a break here, but when we return,

1653
01:33:57,920 --> 01:33:59,800
Speaker 1: it is the third hour of the show, and that

1654
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:03,160
Speaker 1: means time to talk to Eric Wood about Sunday's game.

1655
01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 1: We'll get his thoughts in a little bit to find

1656
01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:09,519
Speaker 1: out what he thought of the forty to nothing shut out.

1657
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm guessing mostly good, as we have discussed here through

1658
01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:14,760
Speaker 1: the course of the show today. But we'll get to

1659
01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 1: that when we return here on One Bill's Life presented

1660
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a

1661
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:38,759
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker who has been all all over the fields,

1662
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

1663
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:46,840
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

1664
01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 1: in the stratedere of normalcy here all right now, we're

1665
01:34:52,400 --> 01:34:55,120
Speaker 1: number three out of victory Monday, Chris Brown, Mandy clab

1666
01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 1: with you and we're getting your thoughts on the tweet

1667
01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: sheet here as the conversation today has been what level

1668
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 1: of confidence you having the Bills going into the Chiefs

1669
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:09,760
Speaker 1: game for Sunday night football primetime at Arrowhead. And we

1670
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:13,639
Speaker 1: were up to Jack on the tweet sheet, who says

1671
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:16,360
Speaker 1: the Bills are playing well and still on the rise.

1672
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:21,559
Speaker 1: R D is at midseason championship form. The Chiefs are scary,

1673
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 1: especially in that building. And while I never speak in certainties,

1674
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 1: they've had some struggles and I'm fairly confident we can

1675
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:33,320
Speaker 1: run with the Chiefs. Should be a hell of a game.

1676
01:35:34,200 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you the build up. I mean, we're

1677
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 1: sitting here on Monday, Maddie. By the time we get

1678
01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:42,160
Speaker 1: to like Friday's play. This city's gonna be going bonkers

1679
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:45,840
Speaker 1: for this game. I know we're gonna explode, and I

1680
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 1: hope that Bills fans travel really well for this game.

1681
01:35:49,200 --> 01:35:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Arrowhead is a tough place to play in.

1682
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 1: Their fan base is super loud. The way the stadium

1683
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:58,720
Speaker 1: is shaped, it just locks in all the noise. But

1684
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:01,720
Speaker 1: maybe something we can do to get more fans to

1685
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City. I'm thinking we should do like

1686
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:08,760
Speaker 1: a barbecue segment on Friday, possibly because I used to

1687
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 1: live in Missouri and there's some really great barbecue joints

1688
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 1: there is. I will say that the overriding image that

1689
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:21,599
Speaker 1: would pop into anyone's brain that has been to Kansas

1690
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:23,560
Speaker 1: City for a football game is as you kind of

1691
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:28,160
Speaker 1: drive up, it's a it's an expansive, expansive lot because

1692
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 1: they have both the football stadium and the Kansas City

1693
01:36:31,479 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 1: Royal Stadium in the same facility, and there's just this

1694
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:42,040
Speaker 1: haze of barbecue smoke hovering over, you know, the acres

1695
01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:45,160
Speaker 1: of parking lots, and you get out of your vehicle

1696
01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:49,280
Speaker 1: and it is the most glorious scent wafting through the air,

1697
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:52,920
Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't want to cover a football game.

1698
01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: Somebody get me a rack of ribs, Like, what are

1699
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 1: we doing here? Let's get down to what's real. It's

1700
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 1: time to now on a rack right now, not to

1701
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:05,360
Speaker 1: go cover a football game. It's fantastic, it's really it's

1702
01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 1: really a great tailgating atmosphere out there, for sure. Joel

1703
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:13,280
Speaker 1: on the tweet, Chet says, hard to be one hundred

1704
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:15,680
Speaker 1: percent confident against the team we haven't proven we can

1705
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:18,840
Speaker 1: beat yet. Very good point, Joel, But I think we've

1706
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:22,599
Speaker 1: learned from our past experiences and could ball out against

1707
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:26,240
Speaker 1: this bad case defense. Can't stop scoring. We need all

1708
01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:28,760
Speaker 1: the points we can get. The question is if we

1709
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:33,760
Speaker 1: can stop Mahomes. Yeah, I think this defense can be

1710
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 1: taken advantage of because they've and I'm gonna go back,

1711
01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:42,840
Speaker 1: Maddie because I want to watch the Chargers offensive game plan,

1712
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:48,600
Speaker 1: because just I watched part of that game live and

1713
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:52,760
Speaker 1: the thing I came away with was it looked like

1714
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:57,639
Speaker 1: the Chargers offensive coaching staff always had a safety valve

1715
01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 1: player for justin her to check the ball down to

1716
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:03,480
Speaker 1: whether it was a back leaking out of the backfield

1717
01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 1: or you know, a tight end in for protection. And

1718
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,240
Speaker 1: then he breaks off and goes out into the flat,

1719
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 1: and Herbert used those checkdown options. Knowing the Chiefs and

1720
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 1: Steve Spagnola, defensive coordinator especially last year to some degree

1721
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:20,799
Speaker 1: this year, is not afraid to send all out blitz

1722
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:24,760
Speaker 1: and if you have a checkdown option in those situations,

1723
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:26,439
Speaker 1: you can beat the blitz because you can get the

1724
01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:29,439
Speaker 1: ball out and then nobody follows them out into the flat.

1725
01:38:29,479 --> 01:38:32,639
Speaker 1: It could be a big play. So I'm very curious

1726
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:36,160
Speaker 1: how the Bills might be able to incorporate that facet

1727
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:39,560
Speaker 1: that the Chargers use so successfully just a couple of

1728
01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:43,240
Speaker 1: weeks ago into their game plan. Yeah, if they can

1729
01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 1: use something like that, that might be a good option

1730
01:38:45,439 --> 01:38:48,360
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen to use when he needs to use

1731
01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:52,400
Speaker 1: his checkdown guyers his checkdown route. I think back to

1732
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 1: the last two games against the Chiefs too, and our

1733
01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:59,880
Speaker 1: coordinators called a great game on both ends that was

1734
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 1: it's not something that was lacking, and so learning from

1735
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:05,560
Speaker 1: our past experiences, I one thing I thought of is

1736
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 1: I've learned that Brian Dayball and Leslie Frasier have called

1737
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 1: really good games against tough teams, and that's not something

1738
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 1: that has been lacking in any way. So I go

1739
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 1: into this game too confident that our offensive coordinator and

1740
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,200
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator are going to put the team in the

1741
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: best situation they can to play their best football. Because

1742
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 1: they create an offense, they create a defense that suits

1743
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:36,240
Speaker 1: the strengths of our players, and that's I think why

1744
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:39,599
Speaker 1: this team has performed so well to start the season.

1745
01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 1: They're not gonna dial up an offense that doesn't go

1746
01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:44,600
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen or some of the weapons. They're not

1747
01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 1: going to dial up a defense that doesn't go with

1748
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 1: the defensive identity that this defense has. So it's just

1749
01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:53,880
Speaker 1: been those errors here and there that has kind of

1750
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 1: gotten the best of the Bills in those games against

1751
01:39:56,200 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Speaking of confidence, Tiffany says, in my opinion,

1752
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:02,720
Speaker 1: you have to be confident last year's D has been

1753
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:05,439
Speaker 1: replaced by a group playing at a championship level. The

1754
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:08,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs D not so much. If we're going to beat them,

1755
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:11,439
Speaker 1: we have to convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns. You

1756
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 1: can't settle for field goals. We've covered that. Nick says,

1757
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 1: I think we are the better team on paper, but

1758
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 1: they had our number last year and I'm worried that

1759
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 1: will continue. I also think Casey will be extra motivated

1760
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 1: now that some doubters have emerged. Yeah, I mean we

1761
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:30,400
Speaker 1: heard it from Tyreek Hill at the end of the

1762
01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:33,760
Speaker 1: game yesterday, tell everybody the Chiefs and the Cheetah are back.

1763
01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:37,800
Speaker 1: So you don't say that unless you believe there are

1764
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 1: doubters out there. So there might be something to that

1765
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 1: that Nick's getting at. I've got to say, though, I

1766
01:40:45,439 --> 01:40:50,080
Speaker 1: am happy the Chiefs one yesterday against the Eagles because,

1767
01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:54,520
Speaker 1: boil boy, if they came into the game with three losses,

1768
01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 1: I think they would be ready to bite somebody's head off.

1769
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 1: And I don't want the Buffalo Bills to be a

1770
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:03,599
Speaker 1: part of any of that. So I'm happy they got

1771
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 1: one win under their belders, second win in the season

1772
01:41:07,120 --> 01:41:09,000
Speaker 1: to start the season with the four games that they

1773
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:12,759
Speaker 1: have played, so they don't come into or the Bills

1774
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:17,720
Speaker 1: don't come into their home atmosphere ready to just let

1775
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:21,479
Speaker 1: loose all the anger and pent up aggression that they

1776
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 1: have losing a couple of games or three games to

1777
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 1: start the season. So I'm glad the Eagles did not

1778
01:41:29,720 --> 01:41:34,439
Speaker 1: win yesterday against Chiefs. From Bills fan twelve to eighty three,

1779
01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 1: he says, I'm in the fifty fifty range with confidence

1780
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:40,800
Speaker 1: versus concern. I know this Bills team can hang with

1781
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:44,080
Speaker 1: them both games. Last year, the team just underperformed. Time

1782
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:45,680
Speaker 1: for them to step up in the biggest moments and

1783
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:48,160
Speaker 1: show the world what the Bills are made of. Let's

1784
01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:51,679
Speaker 1: go Bills. Andrew, meanwhile, says, I feel about the Chiefs

1785
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 1: game like I used to feel about the Patriots games.

1786
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Until I actually see them play well and win, I

1787
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:03,559
Speaker 1: don't have count in them winning. What about that Chiefs

1788
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:06,680
Speaker 1: have replaced the Patriots. I understand that the Chiefs in

1789
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:09,840
Speaker 1: terms of you know, they're standing in the conference, are

1790
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:11,880
Speaker 1: certainly what the Patriots used to be. So I get

1791
01:42:11,920 --> 01:42:16,320
Speaker 1: the parallel there. But I mean, yeah, I get well,

1792
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:17,800
Speaker 1: you don't play him twice a year, but they have

1793
01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:21,599
Speaker 1: played him a lot in recent years. So I guess

1794
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 1: it's just that familiar team that keeps coming up. And

1795
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:27,640
Speaker 1: for Andrew, he's covering his eyes. Yeah, it's been the

1796
01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:30,639
Speaker 1: looming team our schedule of the last couple of years.

1797
01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:33,960
Speaker 1: That's a really tough game and a question mark game

1798
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:37,640
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, and unfortunately it's been losses for

1799
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 1: the Bills, and so to have that in your memory,

1800
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:43,479
Speaker 1: to have that in the back of your mind. Yeah,

1801
01:42:44,160 --> 01:42:46,320
Speaker 1: for a Bills fan, it's probably tough to go into

1802
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:50,120
Speaker 1: a game like this feeling actually confident about winning the

1803
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 1: game and playing well in a game to get that

1804
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 1: win against a really tough opponent. The Buffalo Bills have

1805
01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:59,680
Speaker 1: underperformed against the Kansas City Chiefs in the last two

1806
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:02,320
Speaker 1: games that they faced them in the twenty twenty season.

1807
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:04,759
Speaker 1: There are things, like we've said multiple times, that should

1808
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:07,559
Speaker 1: have gone right, that went wrong. They didn't play their

1809
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 1: true game of football in those games. And so, like

1810
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,400
Speaker 1: you said, Steve Tasker says, all the time, you just

1811
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:16,679
Speaker 1: got to play your best on that day. Yeah, Eli says,

1812
01:43:17,040 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm not sure this is the true test. This game

1813
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:22,280
Speaker 1: is the measuring stick for everything. We will be happy

1814
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:25,160
Speaker 1: or heartbroken Monday morning. It's time to find out who

1815
01:43:25,200 --> 01:43:28,960
Speaker 1: the Bills really are. Go Bills. And then Crabster says,

1816
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 1: my only pause is if Milano and Tarn Johnson can't go.

1817
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 1: Otherwise let's get it on. Yeah, we mentioned Milano's availability,

1818
01:43:39,080 --> 01:43:42,200
Speaker 1: we didn't mention Tarn Johnson. Maddie, who's an important part

1819
01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:45,040
Speaker 1: of the equation here as well, did not play yesterday

1820
01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:50,599
Speaker 1: due to a groin injury, and man like missing Milano

1821
01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:54,640
Speaker 1: and Johnson both against this offense. Yeah, I mean, I

1822
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:57,840
Speaker 1: like what I saw from the from the reserve players

1823
01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:00,880
Speaker 1: who stepped up yesterday. But playing against the Texans and

1824
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:04,320
Speaker 1: playing against the Chiefs are two very different things. Yeah,

1825
01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 1: and factor Jordan player throw him into the mix there

1826
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:10,639
Speaker 1: with Jaquan Johnson playing, I mean, yeah, you don't want

1827
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 1: to see three starters on defense out of this game.

1828
01:44:14,040 --> 01:44:17,160
Speaker 1: Those three starters are a big reason as to why

1829
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:20,960
Speaker 1: this defense has been so tough to score on to

1830
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:24,320
Speaker 1: start the season. Matt Milano is a guy that you

1831
01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:28,520
Speaker 1: think he can cover Travis Kelsey. There's not many defenders

1832
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 1: in this league that can cover Travis Kelsey, let alone

1833
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo Bills. There's probably a handful of guys

1834
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 1: who can truly run with Travis Kelsey, Matt Mlano being

1835
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 1: one of them. Tarn Johnson has been a great nickel

1836
01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 1: corner for the Buffalo Bills since halfway through last season.

1837
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:50,800
Speaker 1: He's someone who the Buffalo Bills missed yesterday, even though

1838
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:52,920
Speaker 1: Cam Lewis had a good game. I mean, he is

1839
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 1: also someone that I think levels puts the level up

1840
01:44:56,920 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 1: on the defense. Going against a team like the Chiefs,

1841
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:03,360
Speaker 1: These are players that the Buffalo Bills need healthy for

1842
01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:05,120
Speaker 1: this game or it's going to be a lot tougher

1843
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:08,280
Speaker 1: on them. Yeah, no question about it. I mean number

1844
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:11,720
Speaker 1: one ability is availability, and hopefully those guys, or at

1845
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:15,280
Speaker 1: least most of them, are available for the Sunday night game.

1846
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 1: Break time for Maddie and I. When we return, it

1847
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 1: is time to meet up with Eric Would see what

1848
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 1: he thought about the forty nothing whitewash of the Texans yesterday,

1849
01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 1: and we'll have him look ahead as well to the

1850
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:29,479
Speaker 1: Chiefs and see what his initial thoughts are about that

1851
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:31,840
Speaker 1: matchup that's next year. On One Bills Live, presenter by

1852
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:44,760
Speaker 1: Collid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, we're

1853
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:47,400
Speaker 1: back here on One Bills Live. Bills victory Monday after

1854
01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 1: the forty to nothing throttling of the Texans and joining

1855
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,679
Speaker 1: us now to talk about it is one Eric Would,

1856
01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 1: who called the game on the Bills Radio Network yesterday

1857
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:58,160
Speaker 1: with John Murphy. Eric, thanks for giving us some time.

1858
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:03,280
Speaker 1: I want to be again with an area that Mannie

1859
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:05,400
Speaker 1: and I really haven't discussed to this point yet. This

1860
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:08,080
Speaker 1: would seem to be in your wheelhouse. The changes up

1861
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 1: front on the offensive line. We knew Ike Bucker was

1862
01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 1: going to start at left guard in place of the

1863
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:17,680
Speaker 1: injury John Feliciano. We had thoughts that something might be

1864
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:20,040
Speaker 1: afoot on the right side of the offensive line, and

1865
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:23,439
Speaker 1: that proved to be the case, with Darryl Williams moving

1866
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:26,160
Speaker 1: into right guard and Spencer Brown getting his first career

1867
01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:30,559
Speaker 1: start at right tackle. Number one, what were your initial

1868
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:34,800
Speaker 1: reactions to the move? And then two, how did those

1869
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 1: two guys fair over there in times that you had

1870
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:40,400
Speaker 1: to look at them through the course of the game. Well, one,

1871
01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:42,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe it took me till hour three to

1872
01:46:42,240 --> 01:46:46,080
Speaker 1: focus on the offense for a month. But you know,

1873
01:46:46,200 --> 01:46:48,920
Speaker 1: this is something that Sean McDermott's done throughout his time

1874
01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: with the Bills, and that's shuffling the offensive line, especially

1875
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,200
Speaker 1: early in the season. My last year with the Bills,

1876
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:58,280
Speaker 1: he did it with John Miller and glad to du Coss.

1877
01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 1: We've seen him do it number of times. I mean, heck,

1878
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:05,799
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse was rotated in and out of the lineup

1879
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:07,920
Speaker 1: last year and I know some of that was injury related,

1880
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:12,000
Speaker 1: but he was helping, yeah, in Quentin, Spain. So there's

1881
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:14,320
Speaker 1: been a number of cases of this, and one of

1882
01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:16,840
Speaker 1: the best qualities about Sean as a coach is that

1883
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:21,040
Speaker 1: he's always evaluating. No one is ever simply going to

1884
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:23,519
Speaker 1: be comfortable in their position, no matter what you're standing

1885
01:47:23,680 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 1: is with the team, whether you were an early draft

1886
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 1: pick in the case of Cody Ford here, what your

1887
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 1: contract status says you are, Sean is going to constantly evaluate.

1888
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:35,719
Speaker 1: So we saw yesterday Cody Ford got benched. Darry Williams

1889
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:38,800
Speaker 1: slides from right tackle a right guard where he played

1890
01:47:38,880 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 1: some in Carolina. I talked to Bean about it after

1891
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:45,920
Speaker 1: the game, and Darryl does have some experience at right guard,

1892
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:49,240
Speaker 1: but just none with the Bill so far, and so

1893
01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 1: you wonder how he's going to transition there. You know,

1894
01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:54,400
Speaker 1: he didn't get a lot of work there through training camp,

1895
01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:57,560
Speaker 1: through the early part of the season. All indications, you know,

1896
01:47:57,640 --> 01:47:59,160
Speaker 1: when you look at the run game, you look at

1897
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:02,599
Speaker 1: the protection. Yesterday today he fared pretty good. And Spencer

1898
01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:05,120
Speaker 1: Brown the same way. One of the things I absolutely

1899
01:48:05,200 --> 01:48:08,120
Speaker 1: love about Spencer Brown is the way he finishes blocks

1900
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:10,720
Speaker 1: and he finishes plays and when you're kind of coming

1901
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:13,760
Speaker 1: in is that blocking tight end role. You can go

1902
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:17,960
Speaker 1: above and beyond an effort scale because you're only gonna

1903
01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 1: get limited reps. Well, he was doing that throughout the

1904
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:22,080
Speaker 1: game yesterday and it was a lot of fun to watch.

1905
01:48:22,160 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 1: I love watching guys play with that type of passion,

1906
01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:27,599
Speaker 1: and a lot of the guys Dion kind of plays

1907
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:29,759
Speaker 1: the same way and did early in his career especially.

1908
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that stood out to me

1909
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:33,960
Speaker 1: earlier about Dion and Spencer Brown has those qualities. He

1910
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:37,040
Speaker 1: looked great in there. Now he's going to get much

1911
01:48:37,160 --> 01:48:40,560
Speaker 1: tougher tests than this Houston Texans defensive line. You know,

1912
01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:43,000
Speaker 1: they just you know, they got Whitney Merciless, who's mainly

1913
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:44,960
Speaker 1: an outside linebacker with his hand in the dirt playing

1914
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:47,840
Speaker 1: defensive end. That got Jonathan Grenard. He's a good young player,

1915
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:50,479
Speaker 1: but you know he's going to face better defensive ends.

1916
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 1: But I think it was a great week in order

1917
01:48:53,040 --> 01:48:55,200
Speaker 1: to make those changes. And if you think you can,

1918
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:58,320
Speaker 1: if you think you can, if this is gonna be

1919
01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:00,960
Speaker 1: your best lineup moving forward, old save it for Sunday

1920
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:04,680
Speaker 1: night football on the road and give Spencer Brown, you know,

1921
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:07,559
Speaker 1: a welcome to the NFL, Hey rookie, Welcome to the NFL.

1922
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:09,880
Speaker 1: Moment at Airhead this Sunday. If you think it's the

1923
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:12,479
Speaker 1: best move. At home against the Houston Texans was the

1924
01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:14,320
Speaker 1: perfect place to do it, and it seemed like it

1925
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 1: paid off for the Bills yesterday. I want to stay

1926
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:19,840
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, and you mentioned the run game

1927
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:21,880
Speaker 1: for the Bills yesterday they had one hundred and ninety

1928
01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:24,120
Speaker 1: nine rushing yards, and I think you've had a good

1929
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:26,000
Speaker 1: start of the season when it comes to how they've

1930
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:27,880
Speaker 1: been able to run the football when they've wanted to

1931
01:49:28,040 --> 01:49:30,479
Speaker 1: or when they've needed to. What has been the difference

1932
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:33,000
Speaker 1: in the run blocking for the offensive line this year

1933
01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 1: to last year. Yeah, I think it's been a commitment

1934
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:37,720
Speaker 1: to the run game, you know, throughout the game, and

1935
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 1: when you're playing with big leads like they have the

1936
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:43,080
Speaker 1: last three weeks, you're going to see the run game

1937
01:49:43,200 --> 01:49:46,160
Speaker 1: utilized more. But you know, I think you're seeing a

1938
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:48,639
Speaker 1: lot of juice out of both the running back Stevin Singletary.

1939
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:51,600
Speaker 1: A lot was made about changes to his body this offseason.

1940
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:54,519
Speaker 1: You're seeing Zach Moss get healthier and healthier, and both

1941
01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:56,840
Speaker 1: those guys have made a lot of plays early on.

1942
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,599
Speaker 1: And as far as the run blocking goes, it gets

1943
01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 1: easier an easier to run block as the game goes on.

1944
01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 1: You know, early in games you rarely see bigger plays

1945
01:50:05,479 --> 01:50:07,240
Speaker 1: in the run game. You're kind of setting your padge,

1946
01:50:07,240 --> 01:50:09,479
Speaker 1: you're feeling out the defense, you're seeing what they're giving

1947
01:50:09,520 --> 01:50:12,519
Speaker 1: you schematically, and you're seeing a commitment to the run

1948
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 1: game that's paying off. And it's you know, these last

1949
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:18,639
Speaker 1: three weeks, the Bills have played with comfortable leads throughout

1950
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:21,599
Speaker 1: the game, and so we'll see when these games get closer.

1951
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 1: If Brian dave Ball dials more of that passing game

1952
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:25,960
Speaker 1: up that we were so used to seeing in twenty

1953
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,160
Speaker 1: twenty and had people so excited about how well the

1954
01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:31,200
Speaker 1: offense was doing, I think we'll see more of that.

1955
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills have a goal of being

1956
01:50:33,479 --> 01:50:36,519
Speaker 1: top five in rushing average at the end of this season.

1957
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:39,200
Speaker 1: You know, they just want to win the maximum amount

1958
01:50:39,200 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 1: of games, and I think the best way of doing

1959
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:44,360
Speaker 1: that for this Bills offense continues to be through the air.

1960
01:50:44,720 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 1: But when you are two dimensional on offense, and we've

1961
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:49,519
Speaker 1: talked about it before, you know, being two dimensional on

1962
01:50:49,640 --> 01:50:53,360
Speaker 1: offense doesn't mean fifty fifty run past percentage. That means

1963
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:56,200
Speaker 1: you're effective when you are running the ball so that

1964
01:50:56,280 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 1: the defense has to honor it. And I think so

1965
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:01,280
Speaker 1: far this season, the Bills run game is something that

1966
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:04,920
Speaker 1: teams have to prepare for and they have to play Honestly, yesterday,

1967
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:09,160
Speaker 1: if there was any small criticism that one wanted to

1968
01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 1: make about the offense, it was probably the lull in

1969
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:13,640
Speaker 1: play when they got in the red zone in the

1970
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:16,559
Speaker 1: first half and had to settle for field goals. They

1971
01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:18,679
Speaker 1: finished the day three of seven in the red zone,

1972
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:20,760
Speaker 1: and I think the reason this was a bone of

1973
01:51:20,880 --> 01:51:24,599
Speaker 1: contention for some fans is because they kept thinking of themselves, Wow,

1974
01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:26,840
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work next week when they play the Chiefs.

1975
01:51:27,080 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 1: They got to finish those with touchdowns, and they're kind

1976
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 1: of right, what level of concern should we have that

1977
01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 1: we saw that lull in play. I mean, it's hard

1978
01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:41,559
Speaker 1: to complain when you put forty points up. But still,

1979
01:51:41,600 --> 01:51:44,680
Speaker 1: in all, I think everybody knows the Chiefs, even though

1980
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:46,760
Speaker 1: their defense has not been very good this year, is

1981
01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:50,200
Speaker 1: still a different animal than the Texas. Yeah, and that's

1982
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:52,760
Speaker 1: that's going to be crucial as you start to play

1983
01:51:52,800 --> 01:51:55,479
Speaker 1: better opponent, say, your red zone TD percentage goes out.

1984
01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:57,840
Speaker 1: And last year and twenty twenty, the Bills were great

1985
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:01,760
Speaker 1: and you have virtually everybody back from that roster last year.

1986
01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:04,759
Speaker 1: You have the same offensive coordinator, so you would assume

1987
01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 1: that you would get the same production this year. And

1988
01:52:07,320 --> 01:52:09,960
Speaker 1: while the average is a lot lower, hopefully that comes

1989
01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:13,880
Speaker 1: back up closer to the standard that was set last

1990
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:16,160
Speaker 1: year when we saw this offense explode and do well

1991
01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:18,400
Speaker 1: so well in the red zone. I thought the play

1992
01:52:18,439 --> 01:52:20,479
Speaker 1: calling got a little bit more creative in the second half.

1993
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:22,760
Speaker 1: You saw the flip plate of digs that resulted in

1994
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:25,040
Speaker 1: a fumble, but we saw a lot of that last

1995
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:28,400
Speaker 1: year with Isaiah McKenzie. The play to Docks and Knox,

1996
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:30,880
Speaker 1: that triple option type look is so tough for a

1997
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:32,599
Speaker 1: defensive defense. I don't know what you do if you're

1998
01:52:32,640 --> 01:52:34,600
Speaker 1: that corner out there. If you don't shoot, if you

1999
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:37,080
Speaker 1: don't fire, then Josh just walks into the end zone.

2000
01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:39,160
Speaker 1: And if you do fire, then Dawson Knox is sitting

2001
01:52:39,200 --> 01:52:42,400
Speaker 1: wide open. I think with a mobile quarterback that's so

2002
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:44,680
Speaker 1: effective in the red zone like Josh is, I think

2003
01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:46,639
Speaker 1: you'll see more and more of that. Maybe it's been

2004
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:49,599
Speaker 1: the case these last few weeks where Brian day Ball

2005
01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:51,800
Speaker 1: is not necessarily showing all of his cards in the

2006
01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:54,160
Speaker 1: red zone when he hasn't needed to, but you'd like

2007
01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:56,280
Speaker 1: to see the Bills be able to. You know, it's

2008
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 1: easy to say at the end of the game, why

2009
01:52:58,000 --> 01:52:59,560
Speaker 1: can't they just punch it in like they did with

2010
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:02,559
Speaker 1: Moss every time it run the ball three times when

2011
01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:04,479
Speaker 1: you're in the red zone. Well, when those safeties get

2012
01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:07,760
Speaker 1: lower and lower, because obviously you have the end line

2013
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:10,479
Speaker 1: is your back defense, those safeties get more and more

2014
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:12,800
Speaker 1: involved in the run game, the passing windows get tighter,

2015
01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:14,800
Speaker 1: and at times you've got to get more creative, and

2016
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:19,080
Speaker 1: so obviously, you know, I think I was saying the

2017
01:53:19,160 --> 01:53:21,679
Speaker 1: same things on the broadcast as the Bills fans were saying.

2018
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:24,320
Speaker 1: You know, while you don't want to show all your cards,

2019
01:53:24,320 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 1: you'd like to see them exec you better because you

2020
01:53:27,120 --> 01:53:30,200
Speaker 1: have these stuffer matchups coming up. A shout out. A

2021
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:32,800
Speaker 1: shutout victory for the Buffalo Bills. I mean, they put

2022
01:53:32,840 --> 01:53:36,520
Speaker 1: forty points on the scoreboard. Dawson Knox has two touchdown receptions.

2023
01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:39,680
Speaker 1: He's had a hot start to the season. Five takeaways.

2024
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:43,920
Speaker 1: What's your biggest takeaway from the win that makes you

2025
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 1: feel good going into Sunday Night football? You know, I

2026
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:49,080
Speaker 1: loved what I saw from the defense, and you know,

2027
01:53:49,160 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna face a different animal with Travis

2028
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:54,479
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Tyree Hill and Patrick Mahomes and Edwards a

2029
01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:56,880
Speaker 1: layer that you know the Kansas City's offense is gonna

2030
01:53:56,880 --> 01:53:59,800
Speaker 1: be a much tougher test. But to have three starters

2031
01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 1: out for most of the game, Matt Milano missed most

2032
01:54:02,080 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 1: of the game with the hamstring depth, three starters out

2033
01:54:04,439 --> 01:54:06,599
Speaker 1: and they have the play that they had yesterday from

2034
01:54:06,680 --> 01:54:10,680
Speaker 1: Japwan Johnson and Cam Lewis is an encouraging sign. I mean,

2035
01:54:10,840 --> 01:54:13,799
Speaker 1: the fact that they're developing that type of depth, especially

2036
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:17,120
Speaker 1: in the secondary, is outstanding. And now you have to

2037
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:23,040
Speaker 1: hope that maybe Poorer and tarn Johnson were out, maybe

2038
01:54:23,080 --> 01:54:25,200
Speaker 1: they could have played if it was a tougher opponent.

2039
01:54:25,280 --> 01:54:28,680
Speaker 1: Maybe they were essentially giving them a rest week and

2040
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:31,240
Speaker 1: getting them ready for Kansas City. You got to hope

2041
01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:32,600
Speaker 1: that's the case. And then you got to hope that

2042
01:54:33,040 --> 01:54:36,680
Speaker 1: Matt Mlano's hamstring enginery isn't that serious, because when you're

2043
01:54:36,720 --> 01:54:40,480
Speaker 1: talking about facing an athletic tight end like Kelsey, you know,

2044
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:43,240
Speaker 1: Matt Milano is one of the most athletic linebackers in

2045
01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:46,160
Speaker 1: the league, and you'd hate to have even if he

2046
01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 1: is out there if he's nursing a hamstring, if he's

2047
01:54:48,840 --> 01:54:51,440
Speaker 1: afraid to go full throttle because he's afraid of tweaking

2048
01:54:51,480 --> 01:54:53,480
Speaker 1: that hamstring, that's not if you're gonna be a good

2049
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:55,959
Speaker 1: thing for the Bill's defense. But I was super encouraged

2050
01:54:56,400 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 1: by the play of a number of those reserves. I

2051
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:02,000
Speaker 1: loved what I saw from the defensive tackle position yesterday,

2052
01:55:02,040 --> 01:55:05,080
Speaker 1: and Oliver was playing with his hair on fire, constantly penetrating.

2053
01:55:05,080 --> 01:55:08,320
Speaker 1: I thought Starlotula was extremely effective and has had a

2054
01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 1: great start to the season. You wonder how he was

2055
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:13,160
Speaker 1: going to be coming back off that opt out season

2056
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:16,000
Speaker 1: last year. I think he's been a tremendous upgrade in

2057
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:17,960
Speaker 1: the middle of that defense from what we saw last year.

2058
01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:21,120
Speaker 1: He looks fresh as daisy out there right now, a

2059
01:55:21,200 --> 01:55:24,360
Speaker 1: lot of spring to his step, for sure. What I

2060
01:55:24,440 --> 01:55:26,160
Speaker 1: think you tweeted about it, You called it a gap

2061
01:55:26,280 --> 01:55:30,280
Speaker 1: year or something. It's helping him, for sure. What about

2062
01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:34,840
Speaker 1: that being the difference in this matchup on Sunday Night, Eric,

2063
01:55:34,920 --> 01:55:38,080
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs defense has not been good now They've

2064
01:55:38,120 --> 01:55:41,960
Speaker 1: gone against some higher caliber offensive opponents through the first

2065
01:55:42,040 --> 01:55:45,120
Speaker 1: four weeks in comparison to the Bills. But thirty first

2066
01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:48,000
Speaker 1: in the league. I mean that's pretty bad. I mean,

2067
01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:51,120
Speaker 1: it looks like they're trying to still pull some things together.

2068
01:55:51,640 --> 01:55:54,120
Speaker 1: We know they had some turnover in their secondary from

2069
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:57,000
Speaker 1: last year due to free agent losses, you know, Bashad

2070
01:55:57,080 --> 01:56:00,200
Speaker 1: Breland and the like, and you know, they were experimenting

2071
01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:02,680
Speaker 1: with some different things up front. They had Chris Jones

2072
01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:06,040
Speaker 1: at and the first week of the season, they were

2073
01:56:06,040 --> 01:56:09,960
Speaker 1: trying all kinds of things. I wonder, against an opponent

2074
01:56:10,040 --> 01:56:12,560
Speaker 1: the caliber of the Bills, if they just go back

2075
01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:15,160
Speaker 1: to doing what they feel comfortable with and hope it's

2076
01:56:15,240 --> 01:56:18,400
Speaker 1: good enough to slow down this offense because it has

2077
01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:22,760
Speaker 1: been in the past. Yeah, exactly, And you said it right,

2078
01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:24,640
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say. It has been good

2079
01:56:24,880 --> 01:56:27,520
Speaker 1: the last two times they faced them last year. You

2080
01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:29,880
Speaker 1: know they were they were great in slowing down this

2081
01:56:30,040 --> 01:56:33,040
Speaker 1: Bills offense that lent everybody else up in twenty twenty.

2082
01:56:33,080 --> 01:56:35,040
Speaker 1: And so when you look at that, they'll get back

2083
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:37,880
Speaker 1: to that. And I think when you head into this game,

2084
01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:40,520
Speaker 1: your offensive line's gonna have to protect Josh Allen. And

2085
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:43,160
Speaker 1: if you are able to protect Josh Allen, then I

2086
01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:45,800
Speaker 1: think that there can be there there's holes in that

2087
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:49,240
Speaker 1: secondary that you can take advantage of, and you know,

2088
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 1: flipping it around to the other side of the ball,

2089
01:56:51,440 --> 01:56:53,600
Speaker 1: you know the key is gonna be on their offensive line.

2090
01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:58,440
Speaker 1: Can they protect Patrick Mahomes enough? With this revamped Bills

2091
01:56:58,480 --> 01:57:01,360
Speaker 1: defensive line that's playing rusher and they have more bodies

2092
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:03,240
Speaker 1: that they can get in there that could be effective.

2093
01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:06,120
Speaker 1: Can they protect Patrick Mahomes? And I think, you know,

2094
01:57:06,440 --> 01:57:08,520
Speaker 1: it's easy for the former offensive limbe to say it,

2095
01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:10,800
Speaker 1: but I think a lot of next week is who

2096
01:57:10,840 --> 01:57:13,680
Speaker 1: can allow their quarterback to sit back there and make

2097
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:17,520
Speaker 1: plays will be a determining factor in the game. It

2098
01:57:17,680 --> 01:57:22,120
Speaker 1: seems like in yesterday's game, the Eagles decided to limit

2099
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:26,160
Speaker 1: other players and not necessarily limit Tyreek Hill. Chris Brown

2100
01:57:26,480 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 1: brought that point up earlier in the show because Travis

2101
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:33,120
Speaker 1: Kelsey just had twenty three receiving yards, but Tyree Hill

2102
01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:36,960
Speaker 1: went off for one hundred and eighty six and multiple touchdowns.

2103
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:40,120
Speaker 1: And then after the game he said, Cheetah is back,

2104
01:57:40,360 --> 01:57:43,200
Speaker 1: So what does the defensive game plan need to be

2105
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:47,280
Speaker 1: to limit the amount of weapons that they have? Hopefully

2106
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:50,600
Speaker 1: Matt Milano is healthy, but we also went back and

2107
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:54,120
Speaker 1: checked and Matt Milano was not healthy for that regular

2108
01:57:54,280 --> 01:57:58,840
Speaker 1: season game that the Bill has played against the Chiefs. Yeah,

2109
01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at it, it's kind of

2110
01:58:01,480 --> 01:58:03,640
Speaker 1: picked your poison with the Chiefs. In the first game

2111
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:06,480
Speaker 1: last year, the Bills decided to sit back and coverage

2112
01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:08,560
Speaker 1: only keeps six guys in the box, and they were

2113
01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:11,000
Speaker 1: able to limit the Chiefs in the passing game and

2114
01:58:11,120 --> 01:58:14,120
Speaker 1: then Clyde Edwards Hilaire ran all over them. And so

2115
01:58:14,760 --> 01:58:17,000
Speaker 1: you have to be able to defend the run. You know,

2116
01:58:17,120 --> 01:58:20,120
Speaker 1: when I've watched what Tampa was able to do to

2117
01:58:20,440 --> 01:58:23,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the Super Bowl game, and playing a

2118
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:26,720
Speaker 1: lot of cover two man, keeping the safeties behind him,

2119
01:58:27,120 --> 01:58:30,160
Speaker 1: having your cornerbacks underneath be able to be in man coverage,

2120
01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:32,880
Speaker 1: but knowing you had help over the top. That's all

2121
01:58:32,920 --> 01:58:35,360
Speaker 1: well and good. If you can defend the run with

2122
01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:38,040
Speaker 1: six guys in the box, which they were able to do. Now,

2123
01:58:38,560 --> 01:58:42,280
Speaker 1: is this Bills defensive line capable of doing what the

2124
01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:44,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs did or what the Bucks did to them in

2125
01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:47,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? I'm not sure. I know That's what

2126
01:58:47,640 --> 01:58:50,560
Speaker 1: the Bills when they invested this draft capital that they

2127
01:58:50,640 --> 01:58:53,040
Speaker 1: did last year and when they brought brought in the

2128
01:58:53,120 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 1: guys they did that's what they had in mind. You know,

2129
01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:58,800
Speaker 1: you're for the longest time we drafted players and we

2130
01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:01,040
Speaker 1: built the roster to try and pete against the Patriots.

2131
01:59:01,080 --> 01:59:03,360
Speaker 1: Now it's the Chiefs and you have to have speed

2132
01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:05,320
Speaker 1: in the secondary. The Bills have it. You have to

2133
01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:08,480
Speaker 1: have speedup linebacker. They have it. Can this defensive line

2134
01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:12,120
Speaker 1: be effective against the Chiefs offensive line in stopping the run,

2135
01:59:12,200 --> 01:59:14,080
Speaker 1: closing down the gaps because you can't just sit there

2136
01:59:14,800 --> 01:59:16,840
Speaker 1: and overload the Chiefs in the boxer. They will torch

2137
01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:20,160
Speaker 1: you down the field. You can't bring pressure after pressure

2138
01:59:20,200 --> 01:59:23,680
Speaker 1: to apply pressure. You can't apply blitz is to apply

2139
01:59:23,800 --> 01:59:26,240
Speaker 1: the pressure to Patrick Mahomes or also light you up.

2140
01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:28,120
Speaker 1: And so you have to be able to defend the

2141
01:59:28,200 --> 01:59:30,080
Speaker 1: run with six guys in the box and then you

2142
01:59:30,200 --> 01:59:33,240
Speaker 1: have to apply pressure and Patrick Mahomes with a four

2143
01:59:33,280 --> 01:59:36,640
Speaker 1: man rush. So Mattie mentioned how they didn't have Milano

2144
01:59:36,680 --> 01:59:39,040
Speaker 1: in the Week six matchup last year. They also did

2145
01:59:39,120 --> 01:59:41,800
Speaker 1: not have Dawson Knox, which may have been less of

2146
01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:44,840
Speaker 1: a lost last year than it would be this year.

2147
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:48,160
Speaker 1: So with what Knox has done four touchdowns in the

2148
01:59:48,240 --> 01:59:53,640
Speaker 1: last three weeks, do you think his emergence can alter

2149
01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:56,760
Speaker 1: the defensive game plan of the Chiefs where they can't

2150
01:59:56,800 --> 02:00:00,160
Speaker 1: go with a similar plan to what they've done the

2151
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:02,880
Speaker 1: past against this Bill's offense. Has he altered the thinking,

2152
02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:06,000
Speaker 1: I guess is the question? Yeah, I think your hopes

2153
02:00:06,040 --> 02:00:08,600
Speaker 1: there is that he would and in the run game

2154
02:00:08,640 --> 02:00:10,840
Speaker 1: would as well, that they would have to respect this

2155
02:00:11,040 --> 02:00:14,600
Speaker 1: run game and how the Bills are able to clip

2156
02:00:14,680 --> 02:00:17,920
Speaker 1: you at such a high rate each time they're running

2157
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:20,240
Speaker 1: the ball. And then you also have Dawson Knox, as

2158
02:00:20,320 --> 02:00:22,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned that you have to be aware of. And

2159
02:00:23,400 --> 02:00:26,400
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox has provided a great big body out there.

2160
02:00:26,480 --> 02:00:28,760
Speaker 1: And for the longest time, I always said that a

2161
02:00:28,840 --> 02:00:31,280
Speaker 1: young quarterback and Josh Allen's getting more experienced, but a

2162
02:00:31,320 --> 02:00:34,480
Speaker 1: young quarterback's best friends that tight end who who was

2163
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:37,240
Speaker 1: kind of replaced by Cole Beasley, like he's Cole Beasley

2164
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 1: has been Josh's safety net in a safety blanket if

2165
02:00:40,640 --> 02:00:42,600
Speaker 1: he needed it somewhere to go. He was always looking

2166
02:00:42,600 --> 02:00:44,280
Speaker 1: for Cole Beasley, whether it was his own or man

2167
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:45,920
Speaker 1: he knew he'd be able to get open or eats

2168
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:49,160
Speaker 1: in the proper zone. Well, now Dawson Knox is emerging

2169
02:00:49,320 --> 02:00:51,960
Speaker 1: and just gives you another element in this Bills team.

2170
02:00:52,280 --> 02:00:55,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, with the emergence of Dawson Knox,

2171
02:00:55,320 --> 02:00:58,680
Speaker 1: it's been less Gabe Davis, it's been less Cole Beasley

2172
02:00:58,720 --> 02:01:02,920
Speaker 1: than we saw yesterday, and so it's going to be

2173
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:05,200
Speaker 1: interesting to see, you know, as a season goes on.

2174
02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:07,000
Speaker 1: Is it a week to week thing where they're just

2175
02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:10,960
Speaker 1: attacking matchups? Because if you stick a linebacker out in

2176
02:01:11,080 --> 02:01:13,840
Speaker 1: coverage one on one against Dawson Knox they showed two

2177
02:01:13,880 --> 02:01:15,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago, they'll just seed you with that back shoulder throw,

2178
02:01:15,920 --> 02:01:18,400
Speaker 1: which is extremely tough for anyone to cover, much less

2179
02:01:18,400 --> 02:01:22,240
Speaker 1: a linebacker. Through four games and to start this season,

2180
02:01:22,320 --> 02:01:25,560
Speaker 1: has there been anything that has impressed you or surprised

2181
02:01:25,600 --> 02:01:28,840
Speaker 1: you the most about the team that we've seen in

2182
02:01:28,960 --> 02:01:31,800
Speaker 1: the four weeks of the season so far. Yeah, I

2183
02:01:31,840 --> 02:01:34,000
Speaker 1: think Dawson Knox is definitely a bright spot, and that's

2184
02:01:34,040 --> 02:01:37,200
Speaker 1: something that you hoped. We went to tight end University

2185
02:01:37,320 --> 02:01:39,800
Speaker 1: this summer and a lot was made about how great

2186
02:01:39,840 --> 02:01:42,280
Speaker 1: he looked this offseason. So many people wanted the Bills

2187
02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:45,080
Speaker 1: to bring in a veteran presence at tight end, someone

2188
02:01:45,160 --> 02:01:47,880
Speaker 1: that's more proven, as zach Ertz from Philadelphia was a

2189
02:01:47,960 --> 02:01:51,240
Speaker 1: hot name and internally the Bills put a lot of

2190
02:01:51,320 --> 02:01:54,240
Speaker 1: trust in Dawson Knox that he would develop, that he

2191
02:01:54,280 --> 02:01:56,440
Speaker 1: would continue to develop as a pass catcher and in

2192
02:01:56,520 --> 02:02:00,240
Speaker 1: the run game, and that's proved itself to payoff far

2193
02:02:00,560 --> 02:02:02,680
Speaker 1: through the start of this season. Because the Bills roll

2194
02:02:02,760 --> 02:02:04,840
Speaker 1: the dice a little bit when you have such a

2195
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:07,640
Speaker 1: solid roster and you look at the tight end position,

2196
02:02:07,720 --> 02:02:09,800
Speaker 1: that was one position where you might say, hey, could

2197
02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:13,120
Speaker 1: the Bills upgrade, whether through draft, free agency, or trade,

2198
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:15,800
Speaker 1: and he's paid off in a big way to start

2199
02:02:15,840 --> 02:02:19,000
Speaker 1: the season. I think Devin Singletary and Zach Moss have

2200
02:02:19,120 --> 02:02:21,960
Speaker 1: been a pleasant surprise at how effective they've been in

2201
02:02:22,080 --> 02:02:25,000
Speaker 1: the run game. And then it's not surprising to me,

2202
02:02:25,160 --> 02:02:27,760
Speaker 1: but you know, that slot corner position for the Bills,

2203
02:02:27,800 --> 02:02:29,760
Speaker 1: whether it was Cam Lewis in the last game or

2204
02:02:29,880 --> 02:02:33,000
Speaker 1: tarn Johnson, especially in those first three weeks, he's looked

2205
02:02:33,320 --> 02:02:36,960
Speaker 1: excellent to me. And then you know, when you look

2206
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:39,800
Speaker 1: across the defensive line, I'm excited to see what they

2207
02:02:39,960 --> 02:02:42,200
Speaker 1: look like. You know, a lot was made about their

2208
02:02:42,240 --> 02:02:45,280
Speaker 1: performance against Miami, but that offensive line has been terrible.

2209
02:02:46,040 --> 02:02:49,600
Speaker 1: Steelers started two rookies in Week one. Washington Zoe line

2210
02:02:49,680 --> 02:02:52,760
Speaker 1: was able to keep Taylor Heinekee pretty clean. And then yesterday,

2211
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, I felt like at times the pass rushing

2212
02:02:55,120 --> 02:02:58,000
Speaker 1: wasn't quite there with the four man rush. Now there

2213
02:02:58,120 --> 02:03:00,600
Speaker 1: was times where they applied pressure and got to them. Now,

2214
02:03:00,760 --> 02:03:03,520
Speaker 1: can this defensive line, like I said, do it against

2215
02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:05,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. That's yet to be seen. But I have

2216
02:03:05,840 --> 02:03:08,760
Speaker 1: been impressed, especially with the defensive line in the run game,

2217
02:03:09,680 --> 02:03:13,120
Speaker 1: and again especially at the defensive tackle position. Yeah, Star

2218
02:03:13,240 --> 02:03:16,080
Speaker 1: Latula was another missing part of the equation last year,

2219
02:03:16,080 --> 02:03:19,800
Speaker 1: as we all know, after we opted out, so Latoula Ago,

2220
02:03:20,520 --> 02:03:25,080
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox Ago, Emmanuel Sanders a new addition on offense,

2221
02:03:25,480 --> 02:03:27,480
Speaker 1: and then you just have to hope that the three

2222
02:03:27,520 --> 02:03:32,480
Speaker 1: defensive starters are available for this Sunday night game at Arrowhead. Eric,

2223
02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:34,680
Speaker 1: thanks as always for the time. We appreciate it. We

2224
02:03:34,760 --> 02:03:36,520
Speaker 1: will catch up with you next week, where hopefully we

2225
02:03:36,600 --> 02:03:40,040
Speaker 1: are discussing a Bill's victory and a move to four

2226
02:03:40,120 --> 02:03:43,040
Speaker 1: and one on the season. Heck, yeah, that'd be a

2227
02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:44,960
Speaker 1: lot of fun. You guys a great week. All right,

2228
02:03:45,040 --> 02:03:47,240
Speaker 1: that's Eric Wood joining us here on One Bill's Live.

2229
02:03:47,320 --> 02:03:49,360
Speaker 1: Mannie and I with more when we return. We'll see

2230
02:03:49,400 --> 02:04:03,520
Speaker 1: in a minute. Welcome back. One Bills Live as the

2231
02:04:03,600 --> 02:04:07,600
Speaker 1: show Bills victory Monday is the event. Chris Brown, Maddie

2232
02:04:07,600 --> 02:04:10,920
Speaker 1: glab with you as we're just about done here, but

2233
02:04:11,360 --> 02:04:12,880
Speaker 1: we want to get a few more thoughts from the

2234
02:04:12,880 --> 02:04:15,080
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from you, as you were telling us what

2235
02:04:15,200 --> 02:04:17,160
Speaker 1: your level of confidence is in the Bills. As they

2236
02:04:17,320 --> 02:04:21,840
Speaker 1: prepare for this week five matchup with the Kansas City

2237
02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:26,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs that defending AFC champions, Patrick says, the way our

2238
02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:28,760
Speaker 1: defense and offense is playing, I believe we will walk

2239
02:04:28,840 --> 02:04:32,280
Speaker 1: away with the win. Kansas City's defense is ranked almost last,

2240
02:04:32,320 --> 02:04:34,560
Speaker 1: so I think it's a day our offense can exploit that,

2241
02:04:35,200 --> 02:04:38,080
Speaker 1: especially now with the way we're running the ball and

2242
02:04:38,200 --> 02:04:41,880
Speaker 1: the way Knox is playing. So, Maddie, I know it's

2243
02:04:41,920 --> 02:04:47,000
Speaker 1: no surprise that this Chief's defense is ranked thirty first

2244
02:04:47,160 --> 02:04:50,240
Speaker 1: in points per game allowed. Gave up twenty nine to

2245
02:04:50,320 --> 02:04:54,520
Speaker 1: the Browns. They gave up thirty six to Baltimore, gave

2246
02:04:54,600 --> 02:04:59,240
Speaker 1: up thirty to the Chargers and thirty to Philadelphia. I

2247
02:04:59,320 --> 02:05:03,040
Speaker 1: mean it's three thirty Burghers there. I mean they're fortunate

2248
02:05:03,120 --> 02:05:05,480
Speaker 1: to be two and two. The thing that encourages me

2249
02:05:05,600 --> 02:05:09,680
Speaker 1: the most though, they are twenty ninth against the run

2250
02:05:10,560 --> 02:05:15,720
Speaker 1: and that to me is an example that their defensive

2251
02:05:15,800 --> 02:05:20,320
Speaker 1: front is just not capable right now. Now, you got

2252
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:22,760
Speaker 1: to look at the run games they played against. Obviously,

2253
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:26,960
Speaker 1: I would say the Browns and the Ravens two really

2254
02:05:27,040 --> 02:05:30,560
Speaker 1: good run games, so okay, but the Chargers aren't running

2255
02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:33,960
Speaker 1: people over. The Eagles aren't running people over, even with

2256
02:05:34,080 --> 02:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts a mobile quarterback. So I think, and you know,

2257
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Eric would made me feel even better, Maddie, there's there

2258
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:44,880
Speaker 1: are yards to be had there with the way the

2259
02:05:44,960 --> 02:05:48,560
Speaker 1: Bills run game is going right now. Yeah, And I

2260
02:05:48,640 --> 02:05:51,160
Speaker 1: think you're not going to see the Kansas City Chiefs

2261
02:05:51,360 --> 02:05:55,360
Speaker 1: defense just completely go off script in what they've been

2262
02:05:55,440 --> 02:05:58,160
Speaker 1: doing to start the season. I think it's safe to

2263
02:05:58,240 --> 02:06:01,680
Speaker 1: say they're not going to have a game where they

2264
02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:06,200
Speaker 1: allow twelve points or under twenty points. I mean, we've

2265
02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:10,040
Speaker 1: seen this defense allow an average of thirty one points

2266
02:06:10,160 --> 02:06:13,880
Speaker 1: a game. So, like we've been saying all day, I

2267
02:06:14,080 --> 02:06:17,320
Speaker 1: think the opportunities are going to be there, whether it's

2268
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:19,560
Speaker 1: in the run game like you said, or whether it's

2269
02:06:19,600 --> 02:06:22,880
Speaker 1: in the passing game. They rank towards the bottom of

2270
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:25,880
Speaker 1: the league in both of those statistics. I mean, they're

2271
02:06:25,960 --> 02:06:30,640
Speaker 1: allowing almost four hundred and fifty yards of offense a game,

2272
02:06:30,760 --> 02:06:34,280
Speaker 1: which means there's opportunities out there for the taking. You

2273
02:06:34,400 --> 02:06:37,200
Speaker 1: just have to take advantage of what's been given to

2274
02:06:37,320 --> 02:06:41,440
Speaker 1: you in the situations that you get. They're allowing quarterbacks

2275
02:06:41,520 --> 02:06:45,400
Speaker 1: to complete almost seventy percent of their passes. They're not

2276
02:06:45,640 --> 02:06:50,320
Speaker 1: affecting the quarterback enough to have to put them in

2277
02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:52,800
Speaker 1: situations where they have to think quicker, they have to

2278
02:06:52,880 --> 02:06:55,880
Speaker 1: make a tough throw. It just hasn't been there for them.

2279
02:06:56,560 --> 02:06:59,520
Speaker 1: So these are reasons why I think fans and we

2280
02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:03,960
Speaker 1: should feel confident going into this game. Yeah, Chiefs twenty

2281
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:06,880
Speaker 1: six in the league and sack percentage, so yeah, they're

2282
02:07:06,920 --> 02:07:10,320
Speaker 1: not getting home a whole lot for sure. Chris says,

2283
02:07:10,560 --> 02:07:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent confident in this game and the team.

2284
02:07:14,600 --> 02:07:17,000
Speaker 1: It seems to me that the Bills team as a

2285
02:07:17,080 --> 02:07:20,200
Speaker 1: whole is just clicking on all three phases of the game,

2286
02:07:20,320 --> 02:07:23,760
Speaker 1: and they're getting better as they go along. The Bills

2287
02:07:23,800 --> 02:07:26,560
Speaker 1: are going to get their revenge for the loss in

2288
02:07:26,640 --> 02:07:31,520
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game. Let's go Bills. What do you

2289
02:07:31,600 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 1: think about the revenge factor, Maddie? Do you? I mean?

2290
02:07:36,040 --> 02:07:38,880
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree that when you have

2291
02:07:39,960 --> 02:07:42,280
Speaker 1: the big bad bully on the block that you can't

2292
02:07:42,320 --> 02:07:47,280
Speaker 1: seem to knock off. It does add motivation and maybe

2293
02:07:47,360 --> 02:07:50,880
Speaker 1: inspiration to kind of finally knock that damn team off.

2294
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:53,680
Speaker 1: Let's finally get a win against these guys. So I

2295
02:07:53,720 --> 02:07:55,840
Speaker 1: don't deny that it's going to have these guys locked

2296
02:07:55,880 --> 02:07:59,640
Speaker 1: in this week for sure. Do they call I'm gonna

2297
02:07:59,680 --> 02:08:01,360
Speaker 1: tell you right now, the media is going to ask,

2298
02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:04,600
Speaker 1: and they're not taking the bait that and say, yeah,

2299
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:08,000
Speaker 1: it's a revenge game. But in their head, I think

2300
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:10,320
Speaker 1: it's got to play somewhat of a factor at least

2301
02:08:10,360 --> 02:08:12,640
Speaker 1: because I mean, they got to be itching to finally

2302
02:08:12,680 --> 02:08:15,800
Speaker 1: beat this DAYG team. Yeah, this team didn't take the

2303
02:08:15,880 --> 02:08:18,320
Speaker 1: bait this past week when they were asked about being

2304
02:08:18,360 --> 02:08:22,000
Speaker 1: a seventeen and a half point favorite against the Houston Texans.

2305
02:08:22,120 --> 02:08:24,040
Speaker 1: They're not going to take the bait when they're asked

2306
02:08:24,080 --> 02:08:27,200
Speaker 1: about how much of this is a refnge game for them.

2307
02:08:27,280 --> 02:08:32,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, within I definitely think this team wants to

2308
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:36,720
Speaker 1: show who they are, wants to show their true identity

2309
02:08:36,880 --> 02:08:39,800
Speaker 1: against the team that they've struggled in the past. I mean,

2310
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:43,160
Speaker 1: what did Lamar Jackson say about the Kansas City Chiefs.

2311
02:08:43,200 --> 02:08:45,320
Speaker 1: You call them their kryptonite, and then they go out

2312
02:08:45,320 --> 02:08:48,360
Speaker 1: and have that victory. I mean, I think the Buffalo

2313
02:08:48,480 --> 02:08:50,920
Speaker 1: Bills are they want to have that too, because this

2314
02:08:51,120 --> 02:08:55,480
Speaker 1: team has in a sense been their kryptonite in different ways. Yeah,

2315
02:08:55,680 --> 02:08:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about it. My only

2316
02:08:58,200 --> 02:09:00,760
Speaker 1: fear with that is you get so hyped up for

2317
02:09:00,800 --> 02:09:03,760
Speaker 1: the game and then I worry about peeling Josh off

2318
02:09:03,840 --> 02:09:06,160
Speaker 1: the ceiling again, kind of how they had too a

2319
02:09:06,200 --> 02:09:09,000
Speaker 1: little bit in Week one. Hopefully in a road environment,

2320
02:09:09,080 --> 02:09:11,760
Speaker 1: maybe he can keep better control of his emotions because

2321
02:09:11,800 --> 02:09:14,840
Speaker 1: the crowd isn't going bananas, at least not for him.

2322
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:20,879
Speaker 1: They'll be loud to make his life difficult. But hopefully

2323
02:09:20,920 --> 02:09:23,680
Speaker 1: in a road venue, you know he's not as jacked

2324
02:09:24,200 --> 02:09:27,840
Speaker 1: where he starts throwing rocketballs around the field. Charlie on

2325
02:09:27,880 --> 02:09:30,360
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet says most confident I've been in our

2326
02:09:30,440 --> 02:09:34,360
Speaker 1: matchup against Casey. We are steamrolling everyone and the Chiefs

2327
02:09:34,480 --> 02:09:37,560
Speaker 1: look very human. It will definitely be a tough game.

2328
02:09:37,720 --> 02:09:40,200
Speaker 1: Casey will show up and play well, but I think

2329
02:09:40,240 --> 02:09:43,440
Speaker 1: we're the better team right now. The defense will make

2330
02:09:43,520 --> 02:09:47,160
Speaker 1: the difference this time. Go Bills. Yeah, that's to me

2331
02:09:47,320 --> 02:09:49,160
Speaker 1: That's what I think is going to be the difference. Also,

2332
02:09:49,280 --> 02:09:53,520
Speaker 1: it's the defense has to on paper the defense is

2333
02:09:54,520 --> 02:09:58,680
Speaker 1: far and away better than the Chiefs defense. That has

2334
02:09:58,760 --> 02:10:01,280
Speaker 1: to be proven on the field Sunday night. And if

2335
02:10:01,320 --> 02:10:04,960
Speaker 1: it is, I think they're winning this football game something

2336
02:10:05,000 --> 02:10:08,800
Speaker 1: like thirty to twenty four or something. And I don't

2337
02:10:08,840 --> 02:10:12,720
Speaker 1: think the defense is gonna have another shutout win or

2338
02:10:12,800 --> 02:10:16,360
Speaker 1: anything like that. This defense could look, the Bills defense

2339
02:10:16,440 --> 02:10:18,280
Speaker 1: could look a little bit more human than they have

2340
02:10:19,080 --> 02:10:22,920
Speaker 1: since this past week. But I do think that they're

2341
02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:26,280
Speaker 1: going to stick to their guns, which is being ranked

2342
02:10:26,400 --> 02:10:30,200
Speaker 1: number one in so many different categories in the NFL.

2343
02:10:30,280 --> 02:10:32,720
Speaker 1: When you're looking at what the Buffalo Bills can do

2344
02:10:32,800 --> 02:10:35,080
Speaker 1: on defense, I don't think they're going to stray away

2345
02:10:35,160 --> 02:10:38,200
Speaker 1: from that much. Yes, you're facing a really talented offense

2346
02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:42,080
Speaker 1: that can be really multiple in a quarterback who does

2347
02:10:42,200 --> 02:10:45,040
Speaker 1: things that no quarterback in the NFL can do right now,

2348
02:10:45,600 --> 02:10:47,840
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's really going to throw them

2349
02:10:47,920 --> 02:10:50,440
Speaker 1: off of their true identity, their ability to take the

2350
02:10:50,480 --> 02:10:54,240
Speaker 1: football away, their ability to get home, maybe not knock

2351
02:10:54,360 --> 02:10:57,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes on the ground in terms of sack numbers,

2352
02:10:57,320 --> 02:11:00,400
Speaker 1: but be able to force him into making some decisions

2353
02:11:00,440 --> 02:11:02,840
Speaker 1: that he doesn't want to make. And I like Charlie's

2354
02:11:03,360 --> 02:11:06,280
Speaker 1: point about being the most confident he's been in a

2355
02:11:06,360 --> 02:11:09,080
Speaker 1: matchup against Casey. I think that's a good way to

2356
02:11:09,160 --> 02:11:11,960
Speaker 1: put it. I feel the same way like with what

2357
02:11:12,160 --> 02:11:14,840
Speaker 1: they have on this team on both sides of the ball.

2358
02:11:15,200 --> 02:11:18,080
Speaker 1: I think you do walk into this game feeling like, yeah,

2359
02:11:18,320 --> 02:11:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm more confident in this matchup than I was in

2360
02:11:21,200 --> 02:11:24,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and then I was in twenty nineteen because

2361
02:11:25,040 --> 02:11:26,880
Speaker 1: of the pieces that they were able to add to

2362
02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:31,200
Speaker 1: their rosters since then. Now, I know. David Culley in

2363
02:11:31,320 --> 02:11:35,880
Speaker 1: his postgame comments yesterday said because all the questions were

2364
02:11:35,920 --> 02:11:39,000
Speaker 1: surrounding Davis Mills in the tough day that he had yesterday,

2365
02:11:39,400 --> 02:11:43,720
Speaker 1: and he was pretty adamant and saying Davis Mills was

2366
02:11:44,160 --> 02:11:46,440
Speaker 1: not the only reason we lost the game where we

2367
02:11:46,520 --> 02:11:49,480
Speaker 1: struggled on offense. Our offense as a whole struggled mightily

2368
02:11:49,600 --> 02:11:52,640
Speaker 1: from start to finish, which I think is an accurate assessment.

2369
02:11:53,240 --> 02:11:57,240
Speaker 1: He also, I don't know if you saw this, he said,

2370
02:11:57,400 --> 02:12:04,240
Speaker 1: Joe Montana couldn't have saved the Texans offense yesterday. I

2371
02:12:04,440 --> 02:12:07,320
Speaker 1: was I didn't know how to take that because I

2372
02:12:07,480 --> 02:12:11,520
Speaker 1: was thinking to myself, if I'm a player for David

2373
02:12:11,600 --> 02:12:15,880
Speaker 1: Culley and I'm working my tail off and we come

2374
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:19,120
Speaker 1: up forty points short and we have a stinker like

2375
02:12:19,240 --> 02:12:23,560
Speaker 1: we did, and then the coach says Joe Montana, who's

2376
02:12:23,600 --> 02:12:25,920
Speaker 1: probably still to this day considered one of the best

2377
02:12:26,360 --> 02:12:30,720
Speaker 1: five or six quarterbacks to ever play, he couldn't help us.

2378
02:12:31,480 --> 02:12:36,880
Speaker 1: How am I feeling about my next game? I'm just asking, Yeah,

2379
02:12:36,880 --> 02:12:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if that's good juju to

2380
02:12:38,840 --> 02:12:42,080
Speaker 1: put out there for your players to hear and listen to.

2381
02:12:43,000 --> 02:12:47,120
Speaker 1: That's something that can bring their confidence level down a notch.

2382
02:12:47,240 --> 02:12:50,440
Speaker 1: I think, so maybe hold those things like within you

2383
02:12:50,800 --> 02:12:54,120
Speaker 1: David Culley and then Vic Fangio, the Broncos head coach,

2384
02:12:54,240 --> 02:12:58,560
Speaker 1: follow up press conference today after the Ravens decided to

2385
02:12:58,640 --> 02:13:00,600
Speaker 1: go for a rushing record at the end of a

2386
02:13:00,680 --> 02:13:03,360
Speaker 1: game when the Ravens were up twenty three seven and

2387
02:13:03,440 --> 02:13:06,120
Speaker 1: in a full blown kneel down situation and chose to

2388
02:13:06,200 --> 02:13:09,000
Speaker 1: run the ball to get the record, Harbaugh said, yeah,

2389
02:13:09,040 --> 02:13:11,680
Speaker 1: it was my decision to go for the record. Vic

2390
02:13:11,760 --> 02:13:19,320
Speaker 1: Fangio called it BS like, come on, big Bangio, that's

2391
02:13:19,360 --> 02:13:24,720
Speaker 1: a very petty comment. I think he's just probably sore

2392
02:13:24,760 --> 02:13:30,160
Speaker 1: about losing the game. Maybe I don't know. Like I think,

2393
02:13:30,200 --> 02:13:32,240
Speaker 1: in baseball more than football, there are a lot of

2394
02:13:32,320 --> 02:13:37,760
Speaker 1: these unwritten rules, you know, stealing signs and you know,

2395
02:13:37,920 --> 02:13:41,000
Speaker 1: brushback pitch all that other stuff. In football, it doesn't

2396
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:43,160
Speaker 1: really exist. It's like you want to keep him from

2397
02:13:43,200 --> 02:13:45,880
Speaker 1: getting the record. Tackle him, you know what I mean,

2398
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:50,160
Speaker 1: tackle the guy. I don't know what else to tell you, Bud, Like,

2399
02:13:50,320 --> 02:13:52,240
Speaker 1: tell you guys to take him down. They can't get

2400
02:13:52,320 --> 02:13:54,280
Speaker 1: him down. They're gonna get directord. I mean, there's a

2401
02:13:54,320 --> 02:13:56,680
Speaker 1: way for you to answer and stop them. I don't know.

2402
02:13:57,040 --> 02:14:00,120
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm overblown. All right, that's it for us. We're

2403
02:14:00,160 --> 02:14:01,960
Speaker 1: on a Monday. Mandy, thanks for helping us out again.

2404
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:05,520
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Kyle Brand tomorrow on the Tuesday edition

2405
02:14:05,560 --> 02:14:07,200
Speaker 1: of One Bills Live. We'll see you then.
