Speaker 1: This this One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: We're back. Bye week is over. People, Welcome to one

3
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 2: Bill's Live Monday edition. Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you

4
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: as per usual. Happy Thanksgiving week, Get your appetites ready

5
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: to roll people. It's a big eating week, big eating week.

6
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: Yes. And you know we came back in the after

7
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: watching all the games yesterday, so I don't really we

8
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: don't really get to do this very often. So I

9
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: was on the couch watching red Zone all day. And

10
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: I don't mean I don't mean part of the day,

11
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: I mean all day. I watched her complete everything so great.

12
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: The end of the one o'clock game Windows was bananas.

13
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: Bananas was bananas. The commanders forgot how to play special teams.

14
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: Oh how loud were you yelling at the television watching

15
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: the end of that game.

16
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: I took some self satisfaction in that. Yes, like just

17
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 3: say that.

18
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: The ineptitude on special teams was a lot.

19
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: Turpin's returned one. He muffed the kick. I mean, listen,

20
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: that's a heck of a pivot there. People don't have

21
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: any idea what this guy was, what this guy did.

22
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: There's a lot in it and I can so Turping

23
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: is up there to catch this kick. This game is

24
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: they got problems now tie?

25
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: No, they were, Yeah, they were up like a point

26
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 2: or two.

27
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: It's I'll tell you exactly what it was that the

28
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 3: score is. He comes up, he kind of hits the ball,

29
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: goes between his legs. First, it's he goes back to

30
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: the goal line. He has to go back and get it.

31
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. Turpan's like got five nine

32
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: bucks seventy like he's he's tiny by NFL standards, and

33
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: you got guys coming down and listen, they are absolutely

34
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: hell bent on busting you to pieces. So he come

35
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 3: he muffs it, which makes the anxiety level go off

36
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: the chart. Then he goes back, scoops up one handed,

37
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: and then does this little thing. Now, I'll say this

38
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 3: to the spin move. When I become a special teams coach,

39
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 3: which is never gonna happen, so I can say whatever

40
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: I want. You got a return guy really becomes dangerous

41
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: when he has the ability to take a couple of

42
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: not just a head fake or a bob for a

43
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 3: jab step, take a couple of steps one way and

44
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: then boom stop and go the other direction. Because when

45
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: you're coming down full speed like those guys were. I

46
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: mean they were out of You're out of control. As

47
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 3: a coverage guy. You're trying to cover as much ground.

48
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: Your hair's on fire. You got to get down there.

49
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: And that guy takes a couple of steps one way.

50
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: All you can think about is pushing the throttle lever

51
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: as far as you can and lean it into it.

52
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: Let's go. And when he sticks his foot in the

53
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: ground goes the other way, it's over. You may as

54
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: well crash into a wall that you can't. You're done.

55
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: He left four people in the du.

56
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: Those guys were, they were They were the coyote in

57
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: the in the warner, you know, chasing the road road,

58
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: and and he was gone it. I would coach every

59
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: return guy to do that if if they have it

60
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: in him, if they have the room.

61
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: Proof that I have seen way too much Bill's football

62
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: in my life. The first thing that move remind me

63
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: reminded me of was Peerless Price in overtime against the

64
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: Minnesota Vikings in two thousand and two. Drew Bledsoe hits

65
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: him on a deep crosser over the middle, and he's

66
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: running left to right across the field. After he catches

67
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: the ball, he takes four steps, puts his foot in

68
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: the ground, jab steps, pivots the other way, and leaves

69
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: four guys in his wake, and runs to the end

70
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: zone for the game winning touchdown.

71
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: That same exact move, Turpin was. It was brilliant. And

72
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: I'll say this too. And I don't know the guy's name.

73
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: The guy who caught the on side two kickoff returns

74
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: the on side kick, bounces up. He makes the good

75
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 3: move to step up in front of the ten yard

76
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: line because he can't be hit. And that's the big thing.

77
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: You're afraid of getting blown up on an on side kick.

78
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: But if you step closer to the ball and attack

79
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: the ball, they can't touch you until the ball goes ten.

80
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: So if it doesn't go ten, they can't touch you.

81
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: He steps forward over the line, grabs it, and there

82
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: you go again. They're trying their hardest to cover as

83
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: much ground as they can. They're too late.

84
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: Because there is team allowed to touch it before nobody.

85
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 3: The hardest thing to do, and I get it. Everybody

86
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: wants to be on ESPN and be at a highlight

87
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: and make this big, huge hit and make the play.

88
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to break down and be the kind of

89
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: smart guy.

90
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: Now, let me pose this to you, because while that

91
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: puts them up another seven points, I should have gone down.

92
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: If he falls on the ball, they kneel it out

93
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: and they win.

94
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: That's correct.

95
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: That's the right play, isn't it.

96
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: That is correct. They were up now they still ended

97
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: up winning, and it was a it wasn't even a

98
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 3: it was wasn't even close after he did that. But yes,

99
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: the smart play would have been to cover up the

100
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: ball and cover the ball, run down to their one

101
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: yard line and kneel down.

102
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: Because then the offense can come on the field and kneel.

103
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: And kneel it down. Here done, they don't have.

104
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: To their defense have to go back out on the field.

105
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: Again. That's correct.

106
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: So but.

107
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: You know, if your lot in life is front five

108
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: on a on side kick return and you get a

109
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 3: chance to score touchdown.

110
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: Hard to say, no, you're scoring the touchdown.

111
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: You're scoring the touchdown.

112
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: So here we are at the beginning of week thirteen

113
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: for the yeah week thirteen people, and as we know,

114
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: the Bills we'll be playing the San Francisco forty nine

115
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: ers on Sunday night football here at high Mark Stadium.

116
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: This week's game against the forty nine Ers is presented

117
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: by of all things high Mark, Blue Cross, Blue Shield,

118
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: the official healthcare plan of the Buffalo Bills, because life

119
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: and fortunate enough for us in the Western New York

120
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: viewing area. The Fox Game late window game was Niners

121
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: at Packers. No Brock Party Brandon Allen at quarterback for

122
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: the Niners. They also had no Trend Williams at left

123
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: tackle and pass protection was an issue for them, and

124
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 2: let's just say it did not look good. They lost

125
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: thirty eight to ten. Their red zone defense is an abomination.

126
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: The Packers went five for five in the red zone

127
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: yesterday and this has been a persistent problem. Yeah, then

128
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: how explain this one to me? If you can't steve?

129
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: The San Francisco forty nine is are a top ten defense,

130
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: top ten in total yards against. They are twenty fifth

131
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: in red zone defense. How does that compute?

132
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: It's hard, It doesn't compute. I'll say this too. The

133
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: difference in the field is obvious, and.

134
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: I'll like, sorry, twenty ninth in red zone defense.

135
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: I'll explain it this way. The field there's just no

136
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: space down there, so it gets functionally, it gets easier

137
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: theoretically to play defense down there, just because there's no space.

138
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: You got safeties that are close to the even if

139
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: they play where they're supposed to deep and you're keeping

140
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: a lid on it. The lid is the back of

141
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: the end zone. So the safeties are now in down

142
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: in the box. Just the alignment it's And we saw

143
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: the Packers last night. They threw in a soft touch pass.

144
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: We just saw to Heath. They pounded in in the

145
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: run game, they run a nifty little screen pass. Again,

146
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: they did it every which way you can do that.

147
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: Jacobs ran.

148
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: They couldn't They couldn't stop anything. They couldn't stop now

149
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: you know anything.

150
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: Now in fairness, San Francisco is without a lot of

151
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: good players. They're starting outside corner. Sharvarius Ward has been

152
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: out for personal reasons after the tragic death of his

153
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: one year old daughter about month ago, five weeks ago.

154
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: That's a tough one to come back from and have

155
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 2: your wits about you to play football and be there

156
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: for your teammates. Trent Williams, as we said, the left tackle,

157
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: he did not make it up to game time. He

158
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 2: was out, no brock party. And then also on defense,

159
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: Drake Greenlaw has not yet come off of injured reserve.

160
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: He is practicing again, but he has not come off

161
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: ir yet. He is the entire season. And then their

162
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl safety Hufonga has been out and on. I

163
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: think he's on injured reserve too, So I mean you

164
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: think about their back seven, they're missing a starting linebacker,

165
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: a starting safety, and a starting corner. I mean that's

166
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: kind of like the Bills last year.

167
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: To me, their rosters, it seems to be a little

168
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: too top heavy and it's gonna get worse.

169
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.

170
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: It's gonna get.

171
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: Worse, and not for nothing. McCaffrey looked ordinestrian. He looked ordinary,

172
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,479
Speaker 2: and look, when you're coming back from bilateral Achilles tendonitis,

173
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: you're probably not gonna look super spry. But the guy

174
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 2: only played forty snaps yesterday and still looked not like McCaffrey.

175
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: And look, Green Bay could focus all of their attention

176
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: on him and tell Brandon Allen beat us. Let's see

177
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 2: you beat us, right, And once they neutralized McCaffrey, the

178
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: game was effectively over.

179
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that the Niners roster is not built to overcome

180
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 3: injuries to significant players. The Bills is you know you

181
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 3: used to look at Buffalo's. Yeah, they've got some depth.

182
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: Even with the second most dead caps base in the league.

183
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: The Bills are a deep football They've proven.

184
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: It and we discussed this at length on our Bills

185
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: by the Numbers podcast if you want more on that.

186
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: And it's you see other teams struggling more so with injury.

187
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: Everybody gets it. Let's look at it. Everybody's getting injured.

188
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: I mean look around the league.

189
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 4: Everybody.

190
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: You ask their fans, every fan base will say the

191
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: exact same thing. Well, you should see us, if we

192
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: were healthy, we'd be really well. Yeah, welcome to the

193
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 3: Welcome to the league. I was, I was on a

194
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: tirade this morning in the office about talking about how

195
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: good Philly looked last night, and they did.

196
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: They've won seven in a row.

197
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: Won seven in a row, and Saquon was sky high

198
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: last night. Two hundred plus yards rushing, two hundred and

199
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 3: fifty yards five unbelievable night for Saquon And everybody's like, oh,

200
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: he's gonna win the MVP. And listen, they got a

201
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: lot of football left. And there's one thing that changes

202
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 3: all of that, and it's physical pain. Yeah, everybody's all

203
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: happy in Philly. There the fans are doing cartwheels all that.

204
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: Saquon ain't doing cartwheels today. He's in the tub. He's

205
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: he's it's gonna take a toll. Look at Baltimore. They

206
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: everybody's going, why are they doing it? They're only giving

207
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 3: Derrik Henry the ball thirteen times and a loss because

208
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: they got to get to the end of the season

209
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 3: with these guys. Saque's got to get to the end

210
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: of the season carrying the ball forty times last night,

211
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: I mean last night, I mean, let's think about it. Philly,

212
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: let me tell where is it there? It is Philly

213
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 3: ran ran, Philly ran the football. How many times did

214
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 3: they run the football? They ran the ball twenty six,

215
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 3: thirty eight, forty three. They ran the ball almost forty

216
00:11:53,720 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: five times last night. That's a pounding, bro and Nik.

217
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 3: They were successful doing it. And you say, well, he

218
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 3: went untouched for eighty yards. Yeah, the other the other

219
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty yards he did. He got touched

220
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: a lot. It's gonna take its toll. All these teams

221
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: are gonna have to find some depth inplace. It is

222
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 3: a grind. Oh, it is a grind, I'll say, and

223
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 3: I was telling you this too about the Chiefs yesterday

224
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 3: in Carolina, just they were playing with their food. I

225
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 3: swear to you. Pat Mahomes is on the sidelines in

226
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 3: a tight game, yawning.

227
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: They were bored out of his goals.

228
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, did any of us think with a

229
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: minute thirty five left or.

230
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: One one, three timeouts in a tie game? Thanks for coming, everybody, right, Carolina's.

231
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 3: Like, we got no shot, you just go home a minute.

232
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: Bills fans know this better than anybody. A minute and

233
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: a half and three timeouts against Carolina and its tie

234
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: game in the fourth quarter. Did anybody not believe that

235
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 3: it was? And they did it? They in fact, they manipulated.

236
00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: They did it on the last play of the game.

237
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 3: Thanks for stopping by Mahomes.

238
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: Even Dave Canalis, who had a time out left, didn't

239
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 2: even bother using it to stop the clock. He's like,

240
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: all right, run it down to two seconds. Put us

241
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: out of our misery.

242
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 3: So that you know, all of this goes into like this,

243
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: even six more weeks. That's which is what we got left.

244
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: It's a long way it's a long way off, and

245
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: some of these everything's got everything can change in the

246
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: matter of two or three weeks. Everything you can get,

247
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: you can get one week. Yeah, you can get one

248
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: guy injured. Okay, oh we can we got that, We

249
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: got that. Which Okay, now you got two guys injured. Okay,

250
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: now we gotta change. We're not playing as good. It's

251
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 3: gonna happen. It happened to the Bills, So I'm this

252
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: is It was a fun weekend of football, no doubt

253
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: about it. But just just play this. Just win this week. Yeah,

254
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: you know, you just gotta win.

255
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: This week before we get to the rest of Week twelve.

256
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: In the NFL, there are some Bills notes this week.

257
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: We await word on the availability of players like Matt Mulano,

258
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: Spencer Brown, Keon Coleman, and Dwayne Carter. That word will

259
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: not come until Wednesday. That's the next time head coach

260
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott is scheduled to speak. So come Wednesday, we'll

261
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: have a better idea as to who may be and

262
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: who may not be available for Buffalo's lineup, particularly Milano

263
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: being of major interest to a lot of fans and

264
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: understandably so. But I would anticipate Spencer Brown, who told

265
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: us two weeks ago he just rolled his ankle and

266
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: missed the week eleven game against Kansas City. Odds are

267
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: probably pretty good that he returns to action this week.

268
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman's a bit of a question mark since we

269
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: really don't know the nature of his wrist injury and

270
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: the severity of it. Dwayne Carter has fulfilled his four

271
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: game absence on IR so he's eligible to come off

272
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: if he he's medically cleared, So we'll have to wait

273
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: and see what his status is on Wednesday, and then

274
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: obviously if there's anybody else that we have to be

275
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: mindful of. Although the Bills did not add any significant

276
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: injuries coming out of the Chiefs game, that was good

277
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: news and everybody got a week to rest, so positives there.

278
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: With the Bills set to host the forty nine Ers

279
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: this week, they do have a chance to clinch the

280
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: AFC East with a victory on Sunday night, provided the

281
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: Dolphins lose on Thursday night in Green Bay.

282
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: Come on, storm first, Should we check.

283
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: The forecast for Green Bay?

284
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: Steve, Yes, that's the time for that.

285
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: Check the forecast for Thanksgiving night in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

286
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna punch it in right now and see what

287
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 2: we get.

288
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: Low twenties and flurries please.

289
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: So Thursday night looks like skys are gonna be relatively

290
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: clear a low of twenty four.

291
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: It's cold, bro.

292
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:11,119
Speaker 2: I believe Toua's record in games that start six below freezing.

293
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: I think he's got one victory. I'll have to look

294
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: it up. But when kickoff, when kickoff temperature is below freezing,

295
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: I think Tua has one victory.

296
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: One. Where was that?

297
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: I can't remember. I just I thought I remembered seeing

298
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: it last year because the Dolphins says, we know had

299
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: to go to Kansas City as the seventh seed, right

300
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: and play the Chiefs in the first in the wildcard round.

301
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was a late season, and it was.

302
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: It was guys were getting fans got frostbite at that

303
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: game last year. It was bitterly cold and two and

304
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: the rest of that Dolphins crew looked like they didn't

305
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: even want to be there. Yeah, now it's not going

306
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: to be that cold.

307
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: Pro football Talk says this gameh and seven and games played.

308
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 2: Below forty Oh, so he doesn't have a football focus,

309
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: says Okay.

310
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: Football Talk says that.

311
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: I'll buy that for a dollar.

312
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: He's at seven games seven.

313
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 2: Below forty degrees.

314
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, what come on? Seven games?

315
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: He's had to play in cold either and the Dolphins

316
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: have been playing good football they have of late. So

317
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: they're five and.

318
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 3: What are they?

319
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: Five and seven?

320
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 3: I think I didn't want to change the subject. But

321
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 3: how are the Jets?

322
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: Oh we'll get there, Steve, don't you dare worry.

323
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: We got news about the Jets and it is delicious.

324
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: It is delicious, and we'll get to that in just

325
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: a minute. We've saved it for last for a reason

326
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: because that's where they usually are anyway. But bump, So

327
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: let's go around the NFL presented by a kaleide A

328
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 2: Healthy official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. So with

329
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: Steve already touched on its Sunday Night Football saw Saquon

330
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: Barkley quite literally run away with the game for the

331
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: Eagles as they triumphed over the LA Rams thirty seven

332
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 2: to twenty. Barkley with three touchdowns, two hundred and fifty

333
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: five rushing yards three hundred two total yards from scrimmage.

334
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: He averaged almost ten yards per carry as Philly has

335
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: now won seven straight. As we mentioned, uh, he's probably

336
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: vaulted himself into the MVP voting. This also is probably

337
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: the worst possible thing that could have been piled on

338
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: to another humiliating loss for the Giants, as Tommy DeVito

339
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: did not provide the spark that Brian Dable had hoped spark.

340
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: Did you see Baker Mayfield doing the Tommy DeVito trolling Bakers? Yeah,

341
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: he likes doing that. He does so bad enough. The

342
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: Giants fall to two and ten on the season. Then

343
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: they got to watch this guy run for two ft five.

344
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 3: They paid Daniel Jones, who they just released, forty and

345
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 3: wouldn't pay sake.

346
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: Well, don't say that, because the Giants tried multiple times

347
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: to pay Saquon Barkley on a long term contract extent,

348
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: but his agents would not take it for whatever reason.

349
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 2: Maybe they wanted him to go somewhere else because they

350
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: felt like he couldn't be successful in New York. I

351
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 2: don't know.

352
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: Well, he's loving and he's been a refreshing addition to

353
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: the Eagles.

354
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: And I'll say this too, And I'm the most talented

355
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: rosters in the league.

356
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know too much about the Eagles.

357
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm like everybody else. They got aj Brown,

358
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: who's a fantastic receiver. But their quarterback Jalen Hurts strikes

359
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: me as a quiet, thoughtful, really until he's a really

360
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 3: good player, no question. I mean we all know that,

361
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: but Saquon seems like the perfect anecdote to a quiet guy,

362
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: having a guy with a personality who's a you gotta have.

363
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: It's got to be a great player, right. Saquan is

364
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 3: the kind of guy that can inspire guys on that squad,

365
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: like with his backwards jump a couple of weeks ago.

366
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: He's the perfect fit in a team that needed somebody

367
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 3: to step up and be a face and a and

368
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 3: a voice and and a vocal guy, because I don't

369
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: think Jalen Hurts talks a lot. That's my that's my observation.

370
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: I've got a rather innocuous statistic to ask you about.

371
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: Do you know how wide around Saquon Barkley's thighs.

372
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: Are I heard they're like twenty nine inches.

373
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: Or twenty nine inches around? Yeah, my waist is thirty two. Yeah,

374
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: that's nuts. Twenty nine inch squads? Are you kidding me?

375
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: It is could crush walnuts with those things.

376
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: I mean, holy mackerel, brownie, it's it's.

377
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: A twenty nine inch thighs.

378
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: I'm not trying this to say this anything. It is

379
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: a game for big strong men.

380
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: That's bananas.

381
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: Big strong man, absolutely, And there are guys you know,

382
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: jumping in front of him, trying to tackle him. And

383
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: there are guys making business decisions too.

384
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: Yep.

385
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, and he can run fast too, Yes, he

386
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: can just to power back.

387
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 2: As we told you, the forty nine Ers had to

388
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: start Brandon Allen at quarterback yesterday in place of an

389
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 2: injured Brock Perdy, who as a throwing shoulder injury that

390
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 2: got worse as the week went on. Last week, Allen

391
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: was seventeen to twenty nine for one hundred and ninety

392
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: nine yards, touchdown and a pick. Also had a lost

393
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: fumble in the thirty eight to ten shillacking that they

394
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: took at the hands of the Packers. We already talked

395
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: about how the Packers ran wild Josh Jacobs one hundred

396
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: and six yards two touchdowns. It was the worst road

397
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: defeat for San Francisco under Kyle Shanahan, twenty eight point

398
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: loss on the road. Only one of San Francisco's drives

399
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: lasted more than seven plays, and only one game more

400
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 2: than forty five yards. That was their lone touchdown drive

401
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: in the second quarter.

402
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: You could tell the vibe on the Niner sideline was

403
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 3: unusual for Kyle Shannon. He was not a happy camp. Yeah,

404
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 3: frustrating day for a very frustrating day for the forty

405
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: nine ers. It's not something there used to going through.

406
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: As you said, it's the worst defeat they suffered under

407
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan.

408
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll have to check player availability for them

409
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 2: again this week because Brock Perdy is not a lot

410
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: to play this week against the Bill. So that's something

411
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: we're just gonna have to keep our eye on probably

412
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: the rest of the week because it was interesting. Purdy

413
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: was practicing on Wednesday, was a little uncomfortable, then was

414
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: limited on Thursday, really didn't feel good, and then Friday

415
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: didn't practice, and before we knew it, he was out

416
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 2: for Sunday's game. And they don't think this is going

417
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: to be a long term problem, but it might be

418
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: a two week problem, and we'll have to find out,

419
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: you know, and we probably won't until we get to Friday. Yeah,

420
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: the status is for Sunday night's game.

421
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 3: Well, it's getting more and more desperate for the Niners

422
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 3: to to hang in that race. Yeah, certainly that division

423
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 3: is still up for grabs, no question about it. I

424
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: mean you're sitting there, Arizona six and four. San Francisco's

425
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: five and no.

426
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 2: This hold on five, six and five, five and six,

427
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: five and six.

428
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 3: I got to refresh the page.

429
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: Seattle beat Arizona yesterday, so they're both six and five

430
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: Rams and Niners lose. They're both five and six, so.

431
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: That they still win it. So they're but they're in

432
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 3: fourth place.

433
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 2: And I think their division records won and three, so

434
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: they're really.

435
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 3: Up again, one and three, three and five in the conference.

436
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 2: Uh, they're up a creek.

437
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 3: They're they're in, They're in, gotta gotta wine. This will

438
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 3: be a.

439
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: Very desperate team coming in here. And you saw it

440
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: yesterday they ran that double reverse option pass. You got

441
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 2: to expect some of that this week, not only on offense,

442
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: but I think on special teams too.

443
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 3: They have got to pull out all the stops. They

444
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 3: gotta win, and it's and it's gonna be that way

445
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 3: down the stretch for them. They got to get into

446
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 3: that mode and get there until either they margin because

447
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: they've got to win a couple of games and they

448
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 3: got to hope Seattle in Arizona.

449
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: Don't They're exactly where the Bills were at this time

450
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 2: last year. That's where they are well, and they're if

451
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 2: Perty's in the lineup, they're good enough to rip off

452
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: a few wins in a row. But we gotta see.

453
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 3: Nick Cholson is another question mark. They need him in there.

454
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: He's got a hip injury and an oblique strain on

455
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: two different sides of his body. He didn't play last

456
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 2: week either. The Bills got some help in the AFC

457
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: Conference race. Steelers fell to the Browns on Thursday Night

458
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 2: football in a Lake Effect snowstore in twenty four to

459
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: nineteen to fall a game back of Buffalo at eight

460
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: and three. Pittsburgh was nipping at Buffalo's heels there they're

461
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: a game back now. Texans lost to a two win

462
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans team thirty two to twenty seven. Houston has

463
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 2: now lost three of their last four games, and they

464
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: are fading fast. Situation is bad in New York for

465
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: both the Giants and the Jets. The Giants got trounced

466
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: by Tampa Bay as Tommy DeVito's returned to the lineup flopped. Meanwhile,

467
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 2: the Jets have still found a way to trump the

468
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: Jets or trump the Giants while being on the by

469
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 2: are we ready for the latest Jetsy in thing to

470
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 2: happen to the Jets? According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the

471
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: Jets are retaining the thirty Third Team that is a

472
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: football website to support them on their upcoming general manager

473
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 2: and head coaching searches. Former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum and

474
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: former Vikings GM Rick Spielman will lead the project for

475
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: the NFL Technology and media company. The thirty third Team

476
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: will provide its data analysis and experience to assist the

477
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: Jets in their search for new leadership. So, for those

478
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: that don't remember, Mike Tannenbaum is the former GM of

479
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: the Jets and was fired by Woody Johnson and he

480
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: has been hired now to find the next GM for

481
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: the Jets. So, in the interest of our own amusement,

482
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: Steve I have decided to list the first fifteen responses

483
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: on Twitter to Adam Schefter's tweet that the Jets are

484
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: retaining their former GM and a fired Rick Spielman from

485
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: Minnesota to lead their GM search. Now. First response might

486
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: as well use a magic eight ball. Second response their

487
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: ft Third response, what's the matter was TMZ sports not available?

488
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: Next response, It's fitting they're called the thirty third team

489
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 2: because if you listen to them, that's exactly where your

490
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: team is going to be ranked. What is happening in

491
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: New York? Lol? They got some of the worst takes

492
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: on this app. Jets are so cooked. Next response, Yeah,

493
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 2: the same guys that was telling the Lions to trade

494
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 2: Gibbs and four first round picks for Garrett Wilson. LMAO,

495
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 2: good luck with that. We've actually never been satire, So

496
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: go back to a failed GM to run the search logical.

497
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: Next response, this is the most Jets thing I have

498
00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: ever seen. Next response Rumor Hills fans, Pats fans, and

499
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 2: Finns fans approve of this move. Next response, The season

500
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 2: can't get any funnier for the Jets. Bro then said, hold.

501
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 3: My beer.

502
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: Two more. Alright, the irony of hiring a guy to

503
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: find you a GM and head coach when you fired

504
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: him his handpicked head coach in disastrous fashion. It's absolutely

505
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: on par for the Jets, and your last one t

506
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 2: leaves and a deck of tarot cards are next Just

507
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: when you think they can't fascinate you in a horrific

508
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 2: way any more than they already have.

509
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: Hold they do it. The story last week was what

510
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 3: was gonna happen with Aaron Rodgers? Was he going to

511
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: be retained? Were they how are they gonna hand talk

512
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 3: about him? They've got an enormous dead caps hit if

513
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 3: they release him. He wants to play. The Jets don't

514
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 3: want him to play. Doesn't seem like next year. Uh,

515
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 3: They'll certainly let him finish out this season. There's been

516
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 3: stories coming out that he is resisting treatments and scans

517
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 3: by the team because he wants to be a go. Well,

518
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: he's usual. He want, you know, to keep playing. He

519
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: wants to keep playing, and he doesn't want you know,

520
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 3: he does he wants to go more holistic route. Okay,

521
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 3: I mean that was last week, now this week, and

522
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 3: it's and I'll say this for the defense of the Jets.

523
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 3: It's not unusual for ownerships groups to hire big time

524
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: consulting firms come in saying let's let's what do we

525
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 3: need to do to find the next head coach. The

526
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 3: Bills did it when they got Sean McDermott. They hired

527
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: some experts to come in and say, all right, what

528
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: are the criteria, here's what we do. All right, let's

529
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: see the list here, and they vet all this stuff

530
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: and and certainly, uh, it seems to work for some teams.

531
00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 3: But to hire a web a blogging website staff with

532
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: there's a lot of experts in there. I mean, they

533
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: got NFL. They got a bunch of guys on that

534
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: staff over there, used to be head coaches, Mike Martz

535
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 3: and the like, Tannenbaum, Rick Spuellman. They got a bunch

536
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: of guys who are higher ups in other things in

537
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: years pad decades past.

538
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: But the optics are just, yeah, it looks awful.

539
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: It looks awful. I don't know. Just when you think

540
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 3: they've put that fire out, that dumpster just ignites again.

541
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 3: And I mean it's so bad over there. It just

542
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 3: if you're a fan of that team, all.

543
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: Right, So how do you I mean, we're gonna have

544
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 2: some more fun with this.

545
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: Come on, you gotta make let's do something right.

546
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: And then they do this so in the in the

547
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: interest of having even more fun at the Jets expense,

548
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: I'm discovering discouragedged my gosh, in the interest of having

549
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: more fun with this. Let's fast forward for just a

550
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: moment here to Week seventeen Jets at Bills. Is Tyrod

551
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 2: Taylor the starting quarterback for the Jets to play the

552
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: Bills in week seventeen?

553
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I know I could count on you, Steve.

554
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely he is, isn't Heah, he's totally the quarterback is

555
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 2: a train in week seventeen.

556
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: That is a train coming down the tracks and you

557
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: can't get out of the way. Yeah, Tyrod's in on

558
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 3: the field.

559
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: And they'll do it under the following excuse. Aaron our

560
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: past protection is not up to snuff, and we feel

561
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: that Aaron with his nature, is at too great a

562
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: risk and is incapable of protecting himself. So we're starting

563
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: Tyrod Taylor because he can. He has escapability. I'm telling

564
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: you that is coming down the pike. I can sniff it.

565
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: Week seventeen. Tyrod Taylor, well, the guy that ended the

566
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: drought for the Bills coming back to Buffalo. Yeah, to

567
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: start for the Jets.

568
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

569
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: And he won't be the first former Bills quarterback to

570
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: start for the Jets in this building. Fits did it,

571
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: probably a couple others down there.

572
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: Here's the thing that now the Jets this coming week

573
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 3: have a bye. They're on bye after their Colts loss.

574
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: No, they were on bye this week.

575
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 3: No, this is the oh yes, sweet twelve. They're going

576
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: to the Seahawks are coming to them. So in Seahawks, Dolphins, Jaguars, Rams,

577
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 3: Buffalo Miami. If they lose to this, if they lose

578
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are at this moment two

579
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 3: and nine, Wood, He's not gonna fire.

580
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: Himself, although that would be the most Jetsy and thing

581
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: of all awesome Jetsy and thing ever the owner has

582
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: fired himself. Details at eleven.

583
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 3: If the Jets fall.

584
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: To the Jaguars, to the Jaguars, what happens then? Is

585
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: it just nuclear fission?

586
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: What happens?

587
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 4: Yeah?

588
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: I think it's a black hole. I think anybody who

589
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 3: has even ever worn a Jets logo will get sucked

590
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 3: in and that the Seahawks. Listen, the Seahawks are no pushovers.

591
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: They just beat Arizona. Miami is playing as Miami's in.

592
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: Miami's trying to stay in. And there you know they've

593
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 3: said it out loud. They're gonna run the table, the

594
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins, and they're playing good enough offense to do

595
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 3: just that they've got it kind of back on track

596
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 3: to us slinging around. It's all great, but.

597
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: They're zero and seven and forty degrees.

598
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 3: That's right. They got to yeah, right, Jacksonville. If man

599
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: there's well, let they go jackson La. Buffalo, Miami, Yeah,

600
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: they got Miami twice in Buffalo.

601
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: Have fun.

602
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 3: Those teams have no love. They don't care. If the

603
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 3: Jets are cold and starving, they'll kick dirt on them.

604
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 3: Those two teams and not clothed.

605
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: Right, all right, we gotta take a break here, but

606

618
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 2: after watching the rest of the AFC this weekend, where

619
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,799

620
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: they fit in the pecking order of the AFC after

621
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: getting a much closer look at the rest of the conference,

622
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: because look, we all suffer from it, Bill's myopia. The

623
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: Bills are right here and they block out everything but

624
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 2: the sun. So sometimes you don't have a firm grasp

625
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: of what the rest of the conference looks like. Yeah,

626
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: the opportunity to do that this weekend. So where do

627
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: the Bills fit? After getting a read on the rest

631
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 2: Cindy up in Niagara Falls. What do you got for

632
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: a Cindy? You're on One Bill's Live.

633
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 6: Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call. I'm just I'm wondering.

634
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 6: I've been reading a lot of blowny on line about

635
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers. Is he going to Miami? Is he getting

636
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 6: out of the NFL? Is he what is he doing?

637
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 6: Are they keeping him? And my other comment is. I

638
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 6: think the Bills are doing wonderful. I think they are

639
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 6: right up there with any Kansas City, any any team

640
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 6: that is going to be going to the super Bowl.

641
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 7: Thanks guys, Okay, sure thing, yep.

642
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 2: The Aaron Rodgers thing is a tricky one for the Jets.

643
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: You know, his cap hit, his dead cap hit if

644
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: they release him before twenty twenty five would be forty

645
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: nine million, that would be the dead cap hit.

646
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 3: He's absolutely not going to the Miami Dolphins. Man, And

647
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 3: you're right, there may be just a little ballooney online

648
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 3: about anything. Well, yeah, just.

649
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 2: That's kind of par for the course with any subject

650
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 2: you're researching.

651
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, stick with the main media outlets where sports is concerned.

652
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: And unless you're the Jets and you can sell the

653
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: thirty thirteen.

654
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 3: That's right. Yeah, he's not going anywhere. Financially, it's not

655
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 3: gonna happen. This season is a wash for the Jets anyway,

656
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 3: so they're not gonna you know, I do.

657
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: Wonder though, like what happens if you know, Woody Johnson

658
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: hires a GM and a head coach and Aaron's not

659
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 2: too thrilled with who those people are. Does he then

660
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 2: negotiate and say, rip up my contract. I'll just I'll

661
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: just leave and see if I can play somewhere else.

662
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 3: I don't know. Well then and let me well. If

663
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 3: that's you mean, like he didn't like him so bad,

664
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 3: he says, just all sign out a new contract. It'll

665
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 3: lead you off all of them, give you all the

666
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 3: money back, yeah, or all the guaranteed money back, and

667
00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: just leave.

668
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 2: I don't even know if you can do that.

669
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 3: He could probably do it, he ain't going to. And

670
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 3: if he was going to do that, tell me who

671
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: those guys are so I can hire him right now.

672
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're Boody Johnson, you're gonna let me

673
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 3: off the hook for seventy million dollar cap hit, tell

674
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 3: me how that can happen.

675
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he's gonna. I will hire him

676
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: that compliant.

677
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 3: I will trade a number one to Dallas for a

678
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy to get him. Put you two back together.

679
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 3: If you'll leave, come on who yeah? Yeah, So no,

680
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is going to be the quarterback of the

681
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 3: New York Jets and New York Jets until the end

682
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 3: of this season. Then they'll re evaluate and and and do.

683
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there aren't a lot of escape plans here.

684
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: Assess the escape plans and the hoops they have to

685
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 3: jump through to make it palatable. Now, I'm not gonna

686
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 3: say I told you so, but well, I'm gonna tell

687
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: you I told you so. I told you A thousand

688
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 3: snaps is a lot of snaps for a forty year old,

689
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 3: for a forty year old, and he is hobbled, hobbled,

690
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 3: and he's now.

691
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 2: He's like, turns forty one soon.

692
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 3: The suspicion is by the cynical hardcore media guys in

693
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 3: New York. He's hiding the damage. He wants to keep playing,

694
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 3: and he knows if he goes in for these scans

695
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 3: or tests that he's kind of putting off that they're

696
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 3: going to say you shouldn't play right. It's it's a grind.

697
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 3: So that's there's all this stuff flying around because he's

698
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: stinking it up right now and he looks like he

699
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 3: is really hurting.

700
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 2: After watching the rest of the AFC, where do you

701
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 2: think the Bills fit? After watching the rest of the

702
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 2: conference during this bye week? Eight oh three zero five

703
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: point fifty one eight eight eight five point fifty two

704
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: five point fifty the number to get on board we

705
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: go to Judy and Buffalo X. What's up, Judy?

706
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 8: Okay, you know, I think the Bills fans have got

707
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 8: the shirt camp for their enthusiasm. You know, I think

708
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 8: they're in a good position. I said that they would

709
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 8: finish four too in the last six, and you know

710
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 8: it's looking even better than this. But my point is

711
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 8: the next two games they're going up against both who

712
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 8: are desperate because if they either one of those teams

713
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 8: can go on some sort of a winning binch, they

714
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 8: can end up winning their division. So you know, the

715
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 8: Bills have to really be very careful in how they

716
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 8: approach these next two games.

717
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's no question about that. Judy.

718
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 9: You're right.

719
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: Both of those NFC West teams are firmly in the

720
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: race for the NFC West title, and both of those

721
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: teams also know that in all likelihood, only the division

722
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 2: winner is coming out of the NFC West with a

723
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 2: playoff berth because the other teams are going to have six,

724
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: maybe seven, maybe eight losses and you're not getting in.

725
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 2: Have you looked at the NFC North.

726
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 3: Lately, Yeah, everybody's getting in.

727
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 2: Minnesota has eight wins, I mean Green Bay has eight wins.

728
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 2: They're in third place. Minnesota has eight Listen to that again,

729
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 2: played We've played at the most twelve games right across

730
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: the league, at the most for the teams that haven't

731
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 2: had a buy yet. Minnesota has eight victories after winning

732
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: an overtime yesterday, they're in third place.

733
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 3: No, no, no, they're nine. They want they're nine and two. Minnesota,

734
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 3: they're in second place.

735
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 2: Base gain Bay is who I'm talking about. I'm sorry.

736
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 2: Green Bay won their eighth game yesterday against San Francisco

737
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 2: and they're in third place. That's who I meant to say. Sorry,

738
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: And what did I take? Eight wins and they're in

739
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: third place? You're gonna get two wild cards out of.

740
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 3: The North, that's right. Absolutely. The South is not gonna

741
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: do it. They're five and six, four and seven, three

742
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 3: and eight, and the leader is six and five. Same

743
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 3: thing in the West, six and five, leader and six

744
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 3: and five A second place. The North is a grind.

745
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 3: But you got Washington still at seven and five. In

746
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: phillyot nine and two. It's I'll say this though about

747
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: and she's right, Judy's right, The caller's right. San Francisco's

748
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 3: gonna be desperate LA if they don't get it. Together

749
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 3: this week. You're gonna be very desperate to win a game.

750
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 3: Let me give you some comfort, though. Those teams are

751
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 3: desperate because they're playing themselves out because they're not good enough.

752
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 3: You get desperate because you haven't played well enough to

753
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 3: beat teams. And I know that there's no easy games

754
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 3: in the NFL, and no question the Niners. All these teams,

755
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 3: you know, but the Niners lost to the Rams, they

756
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 3: lost to the Vikings, they lost to the Cardinals, they

757
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 3: lost to the Chiefs. Those are tough teams to win against.

758
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 3: They lost the Seahawks twice, and then they lost to

759
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 3: the Packers. They beat the Bucks, they beat the Cowboys,

760
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 3: they beat the Seahawks, they beat the Patriots, and they

761
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 3: beat the Jets. I mean they struggle against good teams.

762
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 3: And I would put the Bills in that category. So, yes,

763
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 3: the Niners are desperate. They're gonna be desperate to win

764
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 3: a game. I get all that, but they're desperate for

765
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 3: a reason. They've struggled against good teams.

766
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 2: We have to step aside here and take a break,

767
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 2: but we will get back to your phone calls when

779
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 2: straightforward during this Bill's bye week. After watching the rest

780
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 2: of the AFC this weekend, where do the Bills fit?

781
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 10: You?

782
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 2: Let us know and maybe you have to do a

783
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 2: little more research because tonight's game is kind of a

784
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 2: big one in the AFC landscape the Hardball Bowl as

785
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 2: the Ravens and Chargers play. Chargers surging now. It's seven

786
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: to three and the Ravens been tripped up a little

787
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 2: bit here of late, so interesting matchup tonight.

788
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 3: It's going to be a really good game. Chargers are

789
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 3: a much better football team than we ah, much more

790
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 3: consistent football team. Yeah, than we've seen over the past

791
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 3: few years, and they're they're starting to give Justin Herbert

792
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 3: a little bit of help with a solid run game

793
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: and a solid defense, just more mistake free. I guess

794
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 3: I just they were riding a roller coaster so much.

795
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 3: He's really steadied Jim Harbaugh if he does not, he

796
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 3: studies the ship. The guys in that locker room know

797
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 3: where they stand, and they're playing hard for him, and

798
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 3: this is going to be a really good football game.

799
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 2: But after watching the rest of the AFC conference, where

800
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 2: do you think the Bills fit in the pecking order?

801
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: Has your opinion changed on where they fit? You? Let

802
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 2: us know. We go back to the phones and to

803
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: Tom and Kendall. What do you got for his Tom?

804
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 11: Hey good? Afternnon guys, I was I just wanted to

805
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 11: bring up the fact of what the question that you

806
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 11: were asking is. I think I can answer it by

807
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 11: saying I think that Bills are about the third seed

808
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 11: as far as going into the playoffs. That's my choice.

809
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 11: And I had a question about something that's a little

810
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 11: bit off topic but kind of sort of towards it.

811
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 11: They I don't know if you're aware that they find

812
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 11: mahomes fourteen thousand dollars. Does the gun go off?

813
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, it didn't. Yeah.

814
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 11: Well, and I know he plays for the Kansas City Chiefs,

815
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 11: but when it comes out, it hurts. When it hurts

816
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 11: one of the Buffalo Bills players, maybe we'll change our minds. Also,

817
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 11: along the same lines, celebrations. If they're worried about people,

818
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 11: you know, pointing at somebody, I think they should tone

819
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 11: down the celebration going into the end zone and doing

820
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 11: the Trump dance and all this other stuff. That's just

821
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 11: my feeling and one other thing, and then I'll let

822
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 11: you go. What happened to the national anthem?

823
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 2: What about about it?

824
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 11: They don't play the national anthem before the Bills game?

825
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 12: Do the.

826
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 11: Well I beg the different with you, But I watched

827
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 11: every game the Buffalo.

828
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 3: Oh you're saying on TV or radio doesn't Yeah, the

829
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 3: TV doesn't show the national usually in commercial break. Yeah,

830
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 3: because they're selling commercials. That's why.

831
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, tom So, I mean you may you may be

832
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 2: opposed to that, but it's been that way for quite

833
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 2: some time. Usually radio and television go to commercial break

834
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: during the anthem. There are a few exceptions. Sometimes during

835
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 2: the playoffs, scale ze show the anthem yet but not

836
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 2: not during the regular season. That is usually add time

837
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 2: that's right for whether you're right, wrong or indifferent.

838
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, believe me, they're not. It's not they haven't

839
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 3: even considered.

840
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 2: And for those that don't know, Patrick Mahonmes got fined

841
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 2: fourteen sixty nine dollars for using finger guns on his

842
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 2: celebration during the Bills game last week when they had

843
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 2: scored a touchdown. I believe it was the past to

844
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 2: Noah Gray in the back of the end zone, second

845
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 2: touchdown that Gray had scored, and Mahomes very innocuously kind

846
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: of pointed the bill. The league at large says no

847
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: weapon references in any celebrations, whether it's a bow and

848
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 2: arrow kind of thing or whether it's the machine gun

849
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 2: or a sword. You can't do anything that indicates weaponry

850
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 2: of any kind. You also can't use the football as

851
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 2: a prop and you can't dunk it over the crossbar,

852
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: among other things. So yeah, right, So that's where that is,

853
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 2: and I think we can leave it there. Do we

854
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 2: need any further.

855
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 3: Explanation, Yes, we can all have our opinions of the.

856
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 2: NFL is the no fund league. We know this, So

857
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 2: that's where we are to Tim in Buffalo.

858
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 9: What's up Tim, Good afternoon, gentlemen.

859
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 2: How are we doing?

860
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 9: I just wanted to say that having Mike, Tannon and

861
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 9: Baum look for the next GM is a lot like

862
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 9: having your first ex wife help you find your next

863
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 9: ex wife.

864
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's that's one way to look at it.

865
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 2: Hadn't thought of that that analogy specific.

866
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 3: I can't relate to that, but thank you for adding

867
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 3: that in okay.

868
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 9: And I'd also like to say that I learned something

869
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 9: from Steve Tasker that wasn't football, okay, and that would

870
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 9: be that would be strategies for more crisis and intervention prevention. Boy,

871
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 9: skip training? For what skip training? He narrated the video?

872
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go.

873
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 3: I did some voiceover work for a friend of mine

874
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 3: is actually my friend Bill, who's actually not doing too well.

875
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 3: I hope he's getting better. But yeah. I helped the

876
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 3: Seneca Developmental Center with a voiceover for the safety training.

877
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 3: Very nice people are learning. Nice to see you, Tim, Steve.

878
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 2: The teacher who knew far from it, who knew Let's

879
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 2: squeeze in Tom on the west side here before the break?

880
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 2: What do you got for us Tom.

881
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, if I were to rank the AFC today

882
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 5: now looking at the playoffs, but today, I would put

883
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 5: the Bills first. Then I would put Baltimore Okay, then Casey,

884
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 5: then I would take Pittsburgh. And then I'm struggling on

885
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 5: that fifth one because it could be the Chargers, it

886
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 5: could be the Broncos or Miami is is sneaking up. Yeah,

887
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 5: if Tua can stay healthy, so talk about it.

888
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'd be inclined to go Chargers next,

889
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 2: just based on what I've seen from them. You know,

890
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 2: is number five. Houston's fading fast. They've lost three of

891
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 2: their last four. They just lost to a two win

892
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: Tennessee team.

893
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 3: I'll say this, Pittsburgh's got to be in that conversation

894
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 3: to me, because as ugly as it is, you can't

895
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 3: beat him.

896
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Their red zone touchdown efficiency is forty four percent.

897
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 2: It's horrific. They cannot score touchdowns in the red zone.

898
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: I thought that game, why Chris Boswell is going to

899
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl, I thought.

900
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that clean. I thought the Eveland game

901
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 3: was over when Cleveland went up by whatever whatever, Russ

902
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 3: found a way to get them some points. That's the

903
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 3: problem that is the problem with Pittsburgh to this point

904
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 3: is they just haven't been able to score enough points

905
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 3: to make it comfortable. But they're eight and three and

906
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:22,280
Speaker 3: they're at the top of a very hard division. For whatever.

907
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 3: Baltimore's seven and four and Cincinnati's at four and seven,

908
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 3: but they're kind of trying to climb back into it.

909
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 3: Nobody believes Cincinnati's that bad, but you are what your

910
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 3: record says. So yeah, I think Pittsburgh's got to be

911
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 3: in the conversation, and you can put Buffalo, Kansas City,

912
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 3: Baltimore in whatever order you want. I'm telling you, it's

913
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 3: hard to play the kind of football that the Baltimore

914
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 3: Ravens are playing and the Philadelphia Eagles are playing for

915
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 3: seventeen games. It's hard to play that way. You get

916
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 3: hammered on, even if you're cutting through teams like soft butter,

917
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:02,919
Speaker 3: the way Baltimore was doing.

918
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 2: Early in the season, the way Philly did last night.

919
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 3: Man, I'm telling you, man, you start, you start, man,

920
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 3: It's hard to get up in the It's hard. Physical

921
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 3: pain changes everything, and these teams are gonna feel it.

922
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, Tonight's Ravens Chargers game has an injury

923
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 2: note of significance. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Ravens All

924
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 2: Pro linebacker Roquan Smith, who is questionable for tonight's game

925
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,280
Speaker 2: due to a hamstring injury, is unlikely to play against

926
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 2: the Chargers. Smith has not missed a game as a

927
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: Raven because of injury, but that his first might be

928
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 2: tonight and that would be a notable absence from Baltimore's

929
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 2: run front. So it looks like that's the way it's

930
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 2: headed for Roquan Smith not expected to play tonight on

931
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football for the Ravens. We gotta take a

932
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,720
Speaker 2: break here because when we come back, the thirty third teams.

933
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 2: NFL writer and analyst Dan Pezuda is going to join

934
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 2: us on the show. We'll have him help us recap

935
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 2: Week twelve in the NFL. Coming up next here on

936
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,080

Speaker 2: All Right, hope everybody's doing good on this Monday. Chris Brown,

939
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you here on One Bill's Live. Thank

940
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 2: you for joining us. Please to be joined now by

941
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 2: NFL writer and analyst for the thirty third team, Dan

942
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 2: Pezuda joining us here on the show to kind of

943
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 2: help us do a whip around Week twelve action in

944
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 2: the NFL, And I guess that's my first question to you, Dan,

945
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 2: what was the overriding headline for you for Week twelve

946
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,439
Speaker 2: action in the league. Do you think what stole the show?

947
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean there was a lot that was going

948
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 10: on yesterday. I think I think the one thing that

949
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 10: we're going to be sticking with, probably in the one

950
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 10: thing that'll have a little bit of staying room is

951
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 10: kind of the Saquon Barkley performance from last night. I

952
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 10: think just because of how massive it was, how the

953
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 10: Eagles have kind of really turned around. There's not so

954
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 10: much turned around in the types of wins they've had

955
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 10: because they've been winning, but in terms of being a

956
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 10: effective offense that does look like it can sustain something,

957
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 10: you know, from game to game. So the fact that

958
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 10: we now have kind of Barkley right now, who already

959
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 10: has a career high in rushing yards through eleven games,

960
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 10: potentially be hitting that you know, two thousand yard mark

961
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 10: if he does keep this pace up, I think that's

962
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 10: something we're going to be looking at for for a while.

963
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 13: Coming out of last night's game.

964
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 3: One of the things I've been talking about is how

965
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 3: difficult it is to maintain a pace like that, particularly

966
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 3: over a seventeen or eighteen week schedule. I think that's

967
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 3: really the race. It's a race against your physical health. Certainly,

968
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 3: he had a couple of nice long runs that aided

969
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 3: him last night, no question about it. But you look

970
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 3: at what happened, even at what's going on in Baltimore,

971
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 3: you know, you get to a point where it's like,

972
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 3: you know what, we need this guy later on. Let's

973
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,720
Speaker 3: give Derrick Henry the ball thirteen times instead of thirty

974
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 3: times and make sure he's with us in December. Has

975
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 3: got to be some of that in Philly too, right.

976
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm sure it is, especially if you know Washington

977
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 10: keeps losing or a struggling in the way they have,

978
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 10: and that NFC East race is not going to be

979
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 10: as close as it might have looked like it was

980
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 10: going to be, even you know, one or two weeks ago,

981
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 10: so they might have a little bit more flexibility to

982
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 10: not have to use a Barkley quite as often as

983
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 10: they are. But I think the good thing again about

984
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 10: the Philadelphia offense right now is it is slightly similar

985
00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 10: to how Baltimore's is set up. Is when you also

986
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 10: do have that quarterback run option, it does hold up

987
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 10: these linebackers a little more trying to figure out who

988
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 10: is going to get the ball, especially in Philly with

989
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 10: that offensive line right now, where Barkley is easily leading

990
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 10: the league in yards before contact per rush, it's almost

991
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 10: you know, it's over two and a half yards right now,

992
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 10: so he is getting about as easy of carries as

993
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 10: he potentially could, you know, not running into a stacked

994
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 10: line of scrimmage like he was against the Giants, who

995
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 10: I think there are things like that that could keep

996
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 10: him a little healthier as they continue to run the ball,

997
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 10: But you are right, it's probably not going to be

998
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 10: something where he's getting, you know, twenty five thirty carries

999
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 10: a game for the rest of the year.

1000
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 2: Flipping it over to the AFC conference, you know, the

1001
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 2: Bill said, idle this past weekend and kind of watch

1002
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 2: everybody else do their thing. And I realize the game

1003
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 2: tonight between the Ravens and the Charge might have something

1004
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 2: to say about this conversation as well. But what do

1005
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 2: you feel, at least right now heading into this Monday

1006
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: night game about the tip top of the AFC Conference

1007
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 2: and who looks like they belong there.

1008
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 13: Yeah, certainly the Bills are going to be there.

1009
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 10: They're just a team that, as you know right now,

1010
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 10: they've had so many different ways to win, and I

1011
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,840
Speaker 10: think that's been the fun development of what this Bills

1012
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 10: team has been so far. You know, you can win

1013
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 10: with the ground game, you can win with kind of

1014
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 10: spreading the ball around. You can still win with Josh

1015
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 10: Allen going you know, hero mode. When you look at

1016
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 10: the other teams, I think, you know, Kansas City is

1017
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 10: still going to be there because they just have that

1018
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 10: Patrick Mahomes factor. And again, like they keep winning these

1019
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 10: close games, but yesterday was one where Mahomes was actually,

1020
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 10: you know, the one leading the charge instead of just

1021
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 10: being good on third downs or in the fourth quarter

1022
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 10: like he has been some of these other games. So

1023
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 10: the Chiefs are just always going to be there because

1024
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 10: they are the Chiefs. And then I think the Ravens too.

1025
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 10: They have their weird games where they kind of don't

1026
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 10: show up against inferior opponents, but when they're playing their best,

1027
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 10: Lamar Jackson has been playing at a complete MVP level

1028
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 10: kind of like we talked about with Barkley. When you

1029
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:13,240
Speaker 10: have Derreck Henry there in that same backfield with Lamar Jackson,

1030
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 10: it's almost impossible to kind of figure out who exactly

1031
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 10: you're trying to stop in that run game. I'm excited

1032
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 10: to see if Keon Mitchell is going to be playing

1033
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 10: a little more kind of like you said, kind of

1034
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 10: sparing Henry a little bit, but he has some explosive

1035
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 10: run play a little bit, and I think they're trying

1036
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 10: to figure out some things on the defense.

1037
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 13: So I think those are pretty clear top three in

1038
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 13: the AFC for me.

1039
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 3: And what do you think about these the teams like

1040
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 3: the Denver Broncos of the world that are starting to

1041
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 3: play a little better and bo Nicks is starting to

1042
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 3: figure it out, they've got a proven head coach, and

1043
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 3: then the Miami Dolphins, who have flipped it completely on

1044
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 3: they are playing high level offense. Those teams right at

1045
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 3: the cusp of the wild card right now. Miami has

1046
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 3: professed publicly, we're going to run the table.

1047
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 2: Let's go.

1048
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 3: If they can do that, they probably will get in.

1049
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 3: And if Denver continues to play, somebody's gonna get squeezed out.

1050
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 3: Who's Who's who? Yeah, go ahead.

1051
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's interesting because Miami does have a fairly easy

1052
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 10: schedule coming up, and part of it was you know

1053
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 10: who they played last week, but they're coming up. Yeah,

1054
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 10: they've been playing really well and I think their offense

1055
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 10: right now is probably as good as it has been

1056
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 10: uh in you know, their their peaks of you know,

1057
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 10: the past two seasons. Since Tua has come back, they've

1058
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 10: kind of found that third receiver in Johnny Smith, who

1059
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 10: is now opening up some other things.

1060
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 9: Uh.

1061
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 10: They were you know, peppering him with targets in that

1062
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 10: first quarter and that eventually led to Jalen Waddle having

1063
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 10: a big game because defenses were starting to try to,

1064
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 10: you know, look at what Smith is going to be doing.

1065
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 10: So they have that third receiving option, which they really

1066
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 10: haven't had over the past two years. And kind of

1067
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 10: the way that offense is playing now, I think they're

1068
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 10: second in you know, points per drive since Tua came back.

1069
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 10: This offense is really clicking. That defense with a lot

1070
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 10: of those young players are a clicking. So they are

1071
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 10: a very fun team to watch who could potentially run

1072
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 10: the table maybe one loss. I think, you know, the

1073
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 10: game against Green Bay on Thanksgiving is going to be

1074
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 10: really big in shaping how Miami is going to look.

1075
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 10: But if they are able to get in, I think

1076
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 10: they are going to be a threat in the playoffs.

1077
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 10: You know, Denver's interesting because they still have this defense

1078
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 10: that's really good and they've been figuring out what to

1079
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 10: do on offense. I think they put a little too

1080
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 10: much on bo Nix's plate to start, as they were

1081
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 10: trying to, you know, make him play a little more,

1082
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 10: you know, drop that quarterback.

1083
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 13: But they have you know, used some more play action.

1084
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 10: They've gotten some shorter passes and that's eventually opened up

1085
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 10: some things downfield, got him a little more comfortable in

1086
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,919
Speaker 10: the pocket. So he has been playing you know, really

1087
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 10: good football, especially when he's getting those clean pockets.

1088
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 13: He's been one of the best in the leagues in

1089
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 13: those situations.

1090
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 10: So I think either one of those teams could potentially

1091
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 10: go because they have at least one unit that I think.

1092
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 13: Can stack up with some of those best teams in

1093
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 13: the AS.

1094
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 2: And if there was one team that's gonna get squeezed out,

1095
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 2: a lot of people would put their money on Houston.

1096
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 2: Right now, they've three of their last four, they lose

1097
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 2: to a two win Tennessee team yesterday at home and

1098
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 2: have now lost three of their last four. Two of

1099
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 2: those three losses are the Titans and the Jets. I mean,

1100
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 2: it's looking ugly in Houston right now. Is there any

1101
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: way you could see them pulling this thing out of

1102
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 2: the fire and find in a way. I mean, they're

1103
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 2: in the playoff picture now, but the way they're playing,

1104
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody feels they're gonna be there

1105
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 2: for very much longer.

1106
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 4: Well.

1107
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 10: I think the good thing for them, at least in

1108
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 10: terms of the playoffs, is they are playing in the

1109
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 10: AFC South and they don't really have a challenger to

1110
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 10: take them out of that spot right now. I think

1111
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 10: the culture, you know, two games behind them at five

1112
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 10: and seven Texans, even though they have not been playing

1113
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 10: that well, I still kind of really control of that division.

1114
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 10: I don't think there's too much to be excited about,

1115
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 10: you know, once they get into the playoffs and they

1116
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 10: have to play you know, even a Steelers or someone

1117
01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 10: like that, if they end up having a you know,

1118
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 10: host team like that, it's tough because a lot of

1119
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 10: the things that we liked about what the Texans were

1120
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 10: doing last year it's kind of been the same this

1121
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 10: year where it's been a lot of these inefficient early

1122
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 10: down runs. And they had a lot of those last year,

1123
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 10: but CJ. Stroud was just kind of in a suit

1124
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 10: that superhero mode where he was able to bail this

1125
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 10: offense out.

1126
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 13: But it just hasn't worked quite as much this year.

1127
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 13: They have the second highest.

1128
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 10: Guards to go on third down this year because their

1129
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 10: early down offense just isn't effective. And when you're constantly

1130
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 10: putting that type of pressure on your quarterback to be

1131
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 10: making a play to bail you out on third down,

1132
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 10: it has started to weigh on TD Shroud, and I

1133
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 10: think we're starting to see him make some decisions that

1134
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 10: he wouldn't have made either earlier in this season or

1135
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 10: even last year because of you know, how much weight

1136
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 10: how he feels that he has to be making the

1137
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 10: perfect play on every time, and trying to make the

1138
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 10: perfect play usually makes the quarterback make a few more

1139
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 10: mistakes than he would have otherwise. So it's just something

1140
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 10: and it hasn't changed like this has been the same

1141
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 10: kind of thing we've been looking at with Houston, you know,

1142
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 10: since Week one, which is tough, it's the same, you know,

1143
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 10: running often on early downs, setting you up with these

1144
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 10: third and lungs. So the fact that hasn't changed by

1145
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 10: this point doesn't give me a lot of confidence that

1146
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 10: is going to change going into the end of the season.

1147
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 10: What you did have with Houston was a good defense

1148
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 10: that was able to, you know, make some really good

1149
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 10: offenses look bad. And I think you know you saw

1150
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 10: that with Buffalo when they played earlier in the season.

1151
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 10: But to allow Will Levis to just go up and

1152
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 10: down the field with some of his throws, yes, and

1153
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 10: even though he did take eight sacks and it's kind

1154
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 10: of why the game was as close as it was,

1155
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 10: you know that that is a concern too. So Houston

1156
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 10: is one of those teams where they're probably set in

1157
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 10: a playoff spot, but I don't think they're going to

1158
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 10: be making much noise once they get in there.

1159
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 3: What is the record have to be for the seventh

1160
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 3: and last wildcard spot in the Conference AFC? What's going

1161
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 3: to be the record?

1162
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 10: I mean, when you're kind of looking at it's probably

1163
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 10: got to be about ten wins, right, and that that's

1164
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 10: gonna be tough. You know, the the bottom of the

1165
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 10: AFC is is pretty stacked with teams that have been playing,

1166
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 10: you know, pretty well. So I think you have the

1167
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 10: Charges right now, who I think consistently playing better and

1168
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 10: better every week, and you know they have you know, a.

1169
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 13: Tough game here.

1170
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 10: Then you have this Steelers, you still have you know, Baltimore.

1171
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 10: One of these teams is like, we're gonna have a

1172
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 10: really good team in the AFC. Have to be one

1173
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,439
Speaker 10: of these wildcard teams just because of you know, who's

1174
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 10: leading the division. So I think you probably need at

1175
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 10: least ten wins to get into that seven seed.

1176
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 2: And then just taking a quick look at Buffalo's next

1177
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 2: opponent on Sunday Night football to San Francisco forty nine

1178
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 2: Ers who at this point probably don't even know if

1179
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 2: they're gonna have Perty in the lineup again this week.

1180
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 2: He's iffy for this week too with the right shoulder injury.

1181
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 2: They already do not have Hufanga in their secondary green

1182
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 2: Laws not back off. Ir Bosa did not play last week.

1183
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 2: Neither did left tackle Trent Williams. There's still a mash

1184
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 2: unit in terms of injuries, and they're suffering from a

1185
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 2: problem that the Ravens has suffered from. Also, fourth quarter

1186
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 2: given up a ton of points. They've given up one

1187
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 2: hundred and two points in the fourth quarter this season.

1188
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 2: That is twenty eighth in the league in points allowed

1189
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. And it's cost them some games already,

1190
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 2: not so much yesterday because they were already way behind

1191
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 2: on the scoreboard against the Packers. But what is your

1192
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 2: assessment of the forty nine ers right now? Of course,

1193
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 2: taking into account we don't know what Perdy's status is yet.

1194
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's tough.

1195
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 10: It's just one of those where this was the probably

1196
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 10: the most well oiled machine, especially on offense in previous years,

1197
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 10: when they had all of these pieces coming together. And

1198
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 10: I think we've kind of seen if you take one

1199
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:57,439
Speaker 10: or two, sometimes three of these pieces away in a game,

1200
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 10: you don't have quite as much big of a margin

1201
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 10: of error that you can kind of get around. And

1202
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 10: that's what the forty nine ers were living with for

1203
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 10: a while. They could have made some mistakes, but it

1204
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 10: was not a problem because there could be a big

1205
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 10: play at any time right behind it. But when you

1206
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 10: have Iuke out, you have George Kittle not playing at

1207
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 10: one hundred percent, you have Christian McCaffrey still not probably

1208
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 10: not playing at one hundred percent because he's not making

1209
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 10: the same type of impact that he did last year.

1210
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 10: It's a tough way to live where they have to

1211
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 10: be slightly kind of perfect to be kind of hanging

1212
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 10: in some of these games. Especially on offense, you have

1213
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 10: some of these red zone issues that they've been struggling with.

1214
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 10: They've been one of the worst red zone teams in

1215
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 10: the league this year, so even when they get down,

1216
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 10: their points have really been at a premium for them.

1217
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 10: So you just kind of see some of these small

1218
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 10: things just kind of going wrong, and a lot of

1219
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 10: those are starting to compound against each other, and it's

1220
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 10: really been a struggle for San Francisco just kind of

1221
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 10: figure out what to do. And then you have all

1222
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 10: of these injuries that are just making it worse, especially

1223
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 10: on defense. This was like a top five defense by

1224
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 10: Dvoa over kind of the first half of the season,

1225
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 10: but with these injuries keep kind of chipping away from

1226
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 10: a lot of this top end talent, and that's kind

1227
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 10: of what San Francisco has been built on. It's a

1228
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 10: lot of this top end talent that has made everything

1229
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 10: else easier for all the other players, and once that

1230
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 10: starts to go, it makes it so much harder for

1231
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 10: everyone else on that roster, and I think that's kind

1232
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 10: of what we're seeing right now. A lot of that

1233
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 10: top end talent just either isn't playing at one hundred

1234
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 10: percent or is just straight up miss games, and it's

1235
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 10: been hard to really put together the plan that they

1236
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 10: have in place and have that stack up against some

1237
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 10: of these better teams in the league right now.

1238
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,479
Speaker 13: And I think that's what we've seen the past couple weeks.

1239
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 3: So I know we touched on and spoke about it

1240
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 3: a little earlier in the segment, But give me your

1241
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 3: final thoughts on Chargers Baltimore tonight, Baltimore going to the

1242
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 3: West Coast. Chargers are seven to three, Baltimore seven and four.

1243
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 3: You got brothers that are coaching these guys. I mean,

1244
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 3: this is you know, there's a lot in this and

1245
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 3: this this is the fifth and sixth seed in the conference,

1246
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 3: so there's a little weight in this matchup. What are

1247
01:06:59,520 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 3: your thoughts.

1248
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm really excited for this game, just based on

1249
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 10: how these two teams have been playing, Like the way

1250
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 10: the Chargers have kind of developed over the past couple weeks.

1251
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 10: I wrote maybe last week or two weeks ago about

1252
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 10: some of the fun things the Chargers have been doing

1253
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 10: on defense, some of their three high safety looks, they're

1254
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 10: using three safeties playing light boxes against the run. They're

1255
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 10: kind of doing what Brandon Staley wanted to accept, kind

1256
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 10: of succeeding at it. And the way they're defending the

1257
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 10: run with some of these light boxes, I think that's

1258
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 10: going to be an interesting strategy against Baltimore and Lamar

1259
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 10: Jackson and Derrick Henry. And then you look at what

1260
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 10: Justin Herbert has done over the past couple weeks, where

1261
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 10: he is kind of taking a little bit more of

1262
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 10: a Josh Allen route of where when the first read

1263
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 10: isn't open, I'm going to run for it because I

1264
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 10: have a lot of this open space and I can

1265
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 10: get some things with my legs. And he has scrambled

1266
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 10: more in the past two weeks and he has in

1267
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 10: any other two game stretch in his career. So the

1268
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 10: way they're using that and that's opening up some more

1269
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 10: passes in the passing game, and with the way the

1270
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 10: Ravens haven't been able to, you know, defend the deep

1271
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 10: pass quite as much, I'm interested to see that. So

1272
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 10: I think this is going to be a really close

1273
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 10: game and I wouldn't be surprised regardless of who comes

1274
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 10: out on top, because I think these are two teams

1275
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 10: have a lot of high end talent.

1276
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 13: I'm playing really well right now.

1277
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 3: Yep.

1278
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 2: Should be a good one for sure. Dan, thanks for

1279
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 2: the time. As always, We'll catch up with you down

1280
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 2: the line.

1281
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 13: All right, thank you for having me.

1282
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,560
Speaker 2: I appreciate Stan Pezuda, NFL writer and analyst for the

1283
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 2: thirty third team joining us. And yeah, it's there's gonna

1284
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 2: be some pans popping tonight with those two teams and

1285
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,719
Speaker 2: two brothers. Yeah, it's going against one another.

1286
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, you get where every one of

1287
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 3: these play is going to be a statement about every

1288
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 3: player's masculinity. I mean, you know, it's going to be

1289
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 3: a fight, and every sideways glance is going to be,

1290
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 3: you know, touted as disrespect. I mean it's you're gonna,

1291
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, it's gonna be a dog fight.

1292
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 2: And I think it's gonna have a lot to say

1293
01:08:56,479 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 2: about the next phase of the AFC conference race, because

1294
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 2: the Chargers at seven and three have put themselves firmly

1295
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 2: in the conversation in the AFC race, and the Ravens

1296
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,719
Speaker 2: right now look like they're the ones trying to hang

1297
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 2: in it. I mean, they are the sixth seed right now.

1298
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've lost two of their last four, and if they.

1299
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:26,560
Speaker 2: Lose tonight, they're two games back of Pittsburgh in the

1300
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 2: lost column in the AFC North.

1301
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 3: Here's my thing right here, and I was thinking about this.

1302
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 3: It's a bold statement, particularly since you know, we saw

1303
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 3: them handle the Bills so easily when the Bills went

1304
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 3: in there in weak whatever it was early in the season.

1305
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 2: Take from Steve, what do we got Week four?

1306
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 3: Baltimore's gonna miss the playoffs? Wo wow? If they lose

1307
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 3: this game tonight. If they lose tonight, they lose tonight,

1308
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 3: they're out of the playoffs. They're not even gonna make

1309
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 3: it because they got Philly. They've got Philly next week's

1310
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 3: two laws. That would be three losses in a row.

1311
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 3: They'd have the buye, then they'd come back and stomp

1312
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 3: the Giants. Then they'd have to play the Pittsburgh Steelers again.

1313
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 3: Those three losses right there would doom them.

1314
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 2: You don't have them beating the Steelers in Baltimore in

1315
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,560
Speaker 2: Week sixteen. I do not, And they're not going to

1316
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 2: beat And then they have a short week and have

1317
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 2: to play Houston on the road on Christmas Day.

1318
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 3: They'll beat Houston. But those if they lose three of

1319
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 3: their net last six with a buy includon, I mean,

1320
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 3: that puts them with seven losses right on the cusp.

1321
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 2: They'll be right at the back end. They would lose

1322
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 2: one team. They would in the first round of the player.

1323
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 3: They would lose the tiebreaker to the Chargers.

1324
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, by virtual losing tonight.

1325
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 3: Right, they'd be Yeah, they'd have they have some issues,

1326
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 3: the Chargers, And now the Chargers are gonna they've they've

1327
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 3: got their own problems because they got the Chiefs left

1328
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 3: on their schedule, but they also have the Patriots and

1329
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 3: the Raiders, uh and the Bucks on Bronco again. So

1330
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 3: I just think that, I just think right now, the

1331
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 3: Chargers are more dependable right now than Baltimore, even.

1332
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 2: With back to back road games at Atlanta and at

1333
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 2: Kansas City.

1334
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 3: Atlanta doesn't scare me. Kansas City, of course does.

1335
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 2: And Tampa is not a lay up either, even though

1336
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 2: it's at home. It's not a layup. No, Tampa can

1337
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 2: score points.

1338
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 3: Yes, but Tampa's sitting there with six losses already. They're

1339
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 3: that kind of team. They're gonna they're gonna.

1340
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 2: But they're in a race also with the Falcons in

1341
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 2: the NFC South.

1342
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 3: No, not really, Yes they are, but they're in the race,

1343
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 3: but they're not. They had they had a four loss

1344
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 3: they had four losses in a row until this last week,

1345
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 3: and they beat the Giants, and they beat the Giants,

1346
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 3: They stomped the Giants. Now, yeah, it's all good. They're

1347
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 3: gonna get pushed here. They're gonna push the limit. They're

1348
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 3: gonna be pushed to the limit by the Caroline of

1349
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,560
Speaker 3: Panthers this coming week. That's how bad it is in

1350
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay. So they got and the Mike Evans is back.

1351
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 3: Now you know, that's my bold prediction. I don't know

1352
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 3: if the I don't know if the Baltimore Ravens are

1353
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 3: gonna make the playoffs. They're gonna have six losses or

1354
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 3: seven losses, maybe ten and nine and seven A and

1355
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 3: N ten and seven.

1356
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 2: They're gonna be and seven is gonna be questionable.

1357
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 3: They're gonna go on the road and they're gonna and

1358
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 3: they're gonna meet a really good team that's playing really well,

1359
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 3: and they're gonna get beat on the road. In the playoffs,

1360
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,600
Speaker 3: and Lamar is gonna have that albatross even further on

1361
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 3: his resume. I mean, I don't think they're gonna get in.

1362
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm got to get in because I

1363
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 3: think the Chargers are gonna finish really well. They're gonna

1364
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 3: start getting better.

1365
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 2: And you think they can beat him tonight.

1366
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 3: And if the Chargers beat him tonight, well, do you

1367
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 3: think you can start throwing dirt on them?

1368
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 2: You think they can beat the Ravens. I mean they're

1369
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 2: in their place, yes, the.

1370
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 3: Way they're playing, the playing solid. The Ravens defense is

1371
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 3: not good enough.

1372
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 2: And as we said earlier, Rowan Smith might not play

1373
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 2: tonight with the hamstring injury middle lineback.

1374
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:15,560
Speaker 3: The Chargers are playing good defense, and he said, I

1375
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,640
Speaker 3: think it's suicide to play three high safety against the

1376
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens. So maybe the Jim Harborough was gonna say,

1377
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 3: you know, we ain't doing that. Yeah, but that's what

1378
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 3: the That's what I'm that.

1379
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 2: Would play until Lamar's hands passing wise too, So I'm

1380
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 2: just good against man.

1381
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you, Baltimore, these next two games are

1382
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 3: real tests for them. If they don't win tonight, I

1383
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:43,719
Speaker 3: don't I think Philly is gonna give them big problems. Okay,

1384
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 3: so you got there's if that's three losses in a

1385
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 3: row for Baltimore right there, and that will take them

1386
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 3: to six losses on the season. With the Steelers sitting

1387
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 3: out there, Yeah, I'm like, they lose this.

1388
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:57,640
Speaker 2: Game, they're two back in the lost column from the

1389
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 2: Steelers in the division alone. Well, right, and then now

1390
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 2: you're in a wild card race and you lose a

1391
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 2: tiebreaker with the Chargers head.

1392
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 3: To head, Yeah, their conference would be for they would

1393
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 3: be out of the conference, but they'd be behind Denver

1394
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,720
Speaker 3: in their conference record, so they might fall, and that

1395
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 3: puts Miami in the mix. I think the Miami Dolphins

1396
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 3: are gonna get in. They may have. They've got a

1397
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 3: chance to run the table. Miami does, They're gonna. I

1398
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 3: think Miami, Denver and the Chargers get in to the playoffs.

1399
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought Miami's remaining schedule was pretty daunting. Well,

1400
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,599
Speaker 2: I mean, I know they have the Packers this week.

1401
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 2: That's that's a layup. But at Houston, and that's a

1402
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 2: desperate Houston team. Houston will be is San Francisco is

1403
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 2: still in it, that's tough at Cleveland, good, good defense, weather, weather.

1404
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 2: It's a night game. It's a Sunday night game in Cleveland,

1405
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 2: s oh storm last week, TUA in Cleveland on Sunday night.

1406
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 2: Get out of here with that Miles Garrett running after

1407
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 2: him with that offensive line. They're losingland.

1408
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 3: Mimi's gonna fold their beach chair. I convince them. But

1409
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 3: I'm telling you it's gonna be tough for Baltimore to

1410
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 3: get in. I really think they're gonna yeah, going to

1411
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 3: La tonight.

1412
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 2: I think it's tougher than people realize. I will give

1413
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 2: you that.

1414
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 3: I think Baltimore they have a tougher road ahead of.

1415
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 2: Them people realize. And I think Derek Henry, right, Derek

1416
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 2: Henry might run out of gas a little bit here.

1417
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 2: Let's not forget he's thirty years old.

1418
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm telling you, physical pain affects the way you.

1419
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 2: Even a behemoth of a monster back like him. The

1420
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 2: the miles on the tires add up.

1421
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 3: Here's the thing that there are team's right below the

1422
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 3: cut line. It's Denver is the seventh seed in the

1423
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 3: playoffs as we speak.

1424
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 2: They're playing good football and they have a good defense,

1425
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 2: and defense travels in the playoffs.

1426
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,559
Speaker 3: Every team in the playoff conversation right now has seven wins.

1427
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 3: The first team that does not that is not in

1428
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 3: the playoffs conversation is Miami. They only have five. It's

1429
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 3: five wins and down that are out of it. Now

1430
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to freeish in with the Hunt group.

1431
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 3: In the Hunt group is five wins or less all

1432
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 3: the way down to the bottom of the two and

1433
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 3: nine two and nine, Jacksonville and Vegas. Then it's New

1434
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 3: England with three, Tennessee with three, New York with three,

1435
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 3: Cleveland with three. All those you know they're done. Yeah,

1436
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 3: So you got everybody with five wins or more that

1437
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 3: that even has a whisper, and that's Miami and Indianapolis.

1438
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 3: Indianapols ain't gonna win. They ain't gonna get in the playoffs,

1439
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 3: but that's where you're at. So it's those teams, the

1440
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 3: seven and up from Denver, Baltimore Chargers, all with seven wins,

1441
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 3: along with the Houston team that's leading a terrible division.

1442
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 3: All those teams have it. They're in it right now.

1443
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 3: Miami is sprinting to the finish and they're gonna have

1444
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 3: to sprint and do it to get in. They got

1445
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 3: six losses already. That but Baltimore's fading bro s leavage. Okay,

1446
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 3: they got two of it. They got two really tough

1447
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:17,799
Speaker 3: games coming up in the next two weeks. Tonight against

1448
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 3: the Chargers and Jim Harbaugh against his brother. I mean

1449
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 3: that is that is a fistfight.

1450
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 2: It's a rock fight.

1451
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 3: They're hitting, They're hoping they win the fight and don't

1452
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 3: get not getting in trouble with mom and dad.

1453
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey started in.

1454
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:41,640
Speaker 3: That's right, Baltimore. I think I think the Chargers can

1455
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 3: get them tonight. I really do. And if they do,

1456
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 3: oh doggy, Baltimore is gonna have to go into Philly

1457
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 3: next week.

1458
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1459
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 3: That's tough. That's tough, really tough. I think it's in Philly.

1460
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 3: Hold on, it's at home. It's in Baltimore.

1461
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,680
Speaker 2: You're gonna have Philly fans there. It's right down the street. Oh,

1462
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 2: I mean, what is it an hour and a half drive?

1463
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 3: Bit Yeah, if that, I'm telling you, it'll be a

1464
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 3: mixed crowd. I think Baltimore's really up against it in

1465
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 3: the next couple of weeks. If they don't win tonight,

1466
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:15,679
Speaker 3: everything is precarious.

1467
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:18,720
Speaker 2: Then break time for us here when we come back,

1468
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 2: we'll reignite our conversation on the Bills and where you

1469
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 2: feel they fit in the AFC hierarchy. After watching the

1477

Speaker 2: partner of the Buffalo Bills. A team we were just

1478
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 2: talking about earlier in the show, the Philadelphia Eagles with

1479
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 2: seven straight victories.

1480
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 3: They are on a heater for sure by Saquon, and

1481
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 3: they have a.

1482
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 2: Titanic matchup next week against the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore,

1483
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:20,759
Speaker 2: the Battle of the Birds.

1484
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 3: Yes, that's right, and I'll say that they looked good

1485
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 3: last night on both sides of the ball. They're very

1486
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 3: talented roster as we've seen. Their defensive line is mammoth

1487
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:36,679
Speaker 3: and athletic, and Saquon gives them it was a brilliant

1488
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 3: signing by Philly. I mean, there's no two ways about it.

1489
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 3: It's a little bit like the d Hop signing by

1490
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 3: Kansas City. It's just the perfect guy at the perfect spot.

1491
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 3: It But this guy is let's not forget when they

1492
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 3: drafted him. When the Giants drafted him, they drafted him,

1493
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 3: and the evaluation was Hall of Fame caliber, the second

1494
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,679
Speaker 3: overall pick, Hall of Fame caliber talent. And of course

1495
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 3: the Giants could never support him and help him the

1496
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 3: way the Eagles are now set.

1497
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 11: Up to do.

1498
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 2: He did have an ACL injury during his time, yes

1499
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:10,120
Speaker 2: he did the Giants, but he is fully recovered from that,

1500
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 2: of course, and now outran the entire Rams secondary seventy yards.

1501
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 3: And the right position, the right attitude, the right talent

1502
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 3: at just the right time for the Eagles, and they're

1503
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:25,720
Speaker 3: getting really hot right now. And I was driving to

1504
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 3: work today. You know you're listening to you know I

1505
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 3: was listening. I listen to everybody, and everybody is talking

1506
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 3: about Saquan's game last night and put him in the

1507
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 3: MVP conversation. Could have running back do it. He's on

1508
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 3: pace to break.

1509
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 2: Well, he's on pace for a twenty one fifty one

1510
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:43,799
Speaker 2: yard rushing season.

1511
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:47,559
Speaker 3: He's on pace to break Eric Dickerson's all time record

1512
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 3: twenty one oh five. We'll see, We'll see, yeah, I said,

1513
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 3: But that's you know, he's the flavor of the day.

1514
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:55,679
Speaker 3: I mean, that guy got it done.

1515
01:20:56,479 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 2: Cooling down. Meanwhile, Steve my huge Texas, who have now

1516
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 2: lost three of their last four games and lost yesterday

1517
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 2: to a two win division opponent, the Tennessee Titans at

1518
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 2: home in Houston.

1519
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 3: Three of their last late three of the last four

1520
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 3: to four of their last six they have lost.

1521
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 2: They blew that Sunday night game against the Lions a

1522
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. Even though they had five interceptions

1523
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 2: of Jared Goff, they still lost that game. I believe

1524
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 2: one of their other laws is in that stretches to

1525
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 2: the Jets.

1526
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:41,000
Speaker 3: The only significant win they have. The only significant game

1527
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:43,799
Speaker 3: they have is this year is the Buffalo Bills victory

1528
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 3: in Week five, when they beat the Bills on a

1529
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 3: last second field goal to win by three. Other than that,

1530
01:21:55,960 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 3: they beat the Jaguars, the Bears, the Colts twice, and

1531
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 3: the Patriots uh and the Cowboys right Uh. They have

1532
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 3: no significant wins other than the fact that when the

1533
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,360
Speaker 3: Bills walked out of their stadium in Week five. The

1534
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 3: Bills are going, how do we lose that game? So

1535
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 3: that's their win? Yeah they are. I don't so, I

1536
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 3: don't know that they're cooling down other than the fact

1537
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:24,719
Speaker 3: that they have their expectations were well above standard.

1538
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 2: Let's uh so that is heating up and cooling down

1539
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 2: presented by Team Mark Plumbing, Heating, cooling and Electric. Let's

01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 12: I want to get back to the Bills, man. Honestly,

1552
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,679
Speaker 12: no one's talking about the Chargers. I know you guys

1553
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 12: touched on it right now. They are the side and

1554
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 12: killing the AFC. They're a well balanced team. Everyone's talking

1555
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,759
Speaker 12: about the Bills, Chiefs and the Ravens and the Steelers.

1556
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 12: Nobody's talking much about the Chargers at all. And you're

1557
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:21,799
Speaker 12: a dangerous team when it comes to playoff. I think, secondly,

1558
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 12: I think they come back. We're going to be off

1559
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:25,200
Speaker 12: in the Player of the Year. I don't think he's

1560
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 12: gonna get be MVP. To be honest, I don't think

1561
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 12: the lea's on the handle an MVP to a running back.

1562
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 12: I think he has a good shot of on the

1563
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 12: off player talks.

1564
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good last point.

1565
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 2: He thinks that Barkley's got a better look at Offensive

1566
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 2: Player of the Year rather than m VP.

1567
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 3: That's probably that's a good point. It's hard for it's

1568
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 3: hard for running back to do it. Yeah, just for

1569
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 3: all the reasons in the way the game is.

1570
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 2: If he breaks the all time rushing record, I think

1571
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:49,880
Speaker 2: if he's got a shot at if.

1572
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 3: He makes if he does an all time historic thing,

1573
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 3: he will have it. He'll get it, and I you know,

1574
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,640
Speaker 3: I'm okay with it. I mean, certainly we'd like our

1575
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 3: guy to be in the converse and all of that,

1576
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:03,719
Speaker 3: But if Barkley goes twenty one oh five or more

1577
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 3: and does all of that stuff. Yeah. Yeah, you're not

1578
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 3: gonna take it away from it.

1579
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 2: The Chargers the silent killer in the AFC. Steve they are.

1580
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:16,560
Speaker 3: I agree, they're solid. They don't beat themselves.

1581
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 2: Greg Roman drawn up the run game scheme.

1582
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 3: Are They are a good football team, and they're well

1583
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 3: coached by a guy who's done it before, who's done

1584
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 3: it before, who's a proven commodity at both college and

1585
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,360
Speaker 3: the pro level. And I'm I'm kind of with Ryan.

1586
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 3: I'm calling it. H I think they can. They can

1587
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:42,560
Speaker 3: win tonight against Baltimore, and if they do, Baltimore is

1588
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:46,760
Speaker 3: in trouble. Baltimore's in trouble with Philly next week, with

1589
01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 3: Philly next week, and then Pittsburgh two weeks after that.

1590
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and to Aaron in Oregon.

1591
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 2: What's up Aeron?

1592
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 14: Hey, thanks for taking my call. Yeah, I want to

1593
01:24:57,439 --> 01:25:00,560
Speaker 14: talk about the AFC, and I I really think the

1594
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 14: Bills can take that one seed. Looking at the Chiefs

1595
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 14: upcoming schedule, I think they can drop a few games,

1596
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 14: especially they've been winning these tight games and it's cremy

1597
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 14: teams like the Panthers and you know, after Mahon's even

1598
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 14: playing good, they needed a last second field goal to

1599
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:17,959
Speaker 14: beat the Panthers.

1600
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 15: So I looked at it. I think they could go

1601
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 15: even twelve and four, I mean twelve and five, and

1602
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 15: the Bills that they go thirteen and four or fourteen

1603
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 15: and three, they could be number one, and then I

1604
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,680
Speaker 15: think the Chargers are coming up to It would be

1605
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 15: a dream if the Chargers could win that division.

1606
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 9: But the Chiefs will probably win them, but I hope not.

1607
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they've got the Chargers in two weeks, granted

1608
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 2: it is in Kansas City, and then at Cleveland, which

1609
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 2: you know, Cleveland's Cleveland. They have trouble scoring points. But

1610
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 2: if Jamis has a magic game in them and the

1611
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:55,600
Speaker 2: defense plays like they've played most of the year, that

1612
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 2: could be a tighter game than people think too. Houston,

1613
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 2: I don't have any faith in them. But then you're

1614
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 2: at Pittsburgh at Denver.

1615
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that the last two games.

1616
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 2: I mean, those two teams conceivably will need those games

1617
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 2: as well. That'll those will be competitive games.

1618
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 3: If the Bills can stay in the conversation and get

1619
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 3: to stay with Kansas City until December twenty fifth, and

1620
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 3: then you know, January first or second. That's that's what

1621
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 3: you want, because those are the games that really have

1622
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 3: a shot at You know, the Chiefs have a chance

1623
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 3: of dropping. But don't forget. If the Bills Chiefs finished

1624
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 3: with the same record, Bills win the tiebreaker because they

1625
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:40,600
Speaker 3: won the head to head So it doesn't have to

1626
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 3: be twelve and five for the Chiefs and thirteen and

1627
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 3: four for the Bills. It could be twelve and five

1628
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 3: twelve and five and the Bills win it win the tiebreaker,

1629
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,800
Speaker 3: So there's that going in the bills favor. All they

1630
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 3: gotta do is catch them. So if the Chiefs win,

1631
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 3: lose one game and the Bills win one more like

1632
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 3: this week, Bills are in the number one seed. It's

1633
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:05,639
Speaker 3: that close. So if the Bills can stay in the conversation,

1634
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:07,679
Speaker 3: all they got to do is match Kansas City's overall

1635
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 3: record and they win the tiebreaker for the wild for

1636
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 3: the number one seed. So that's what you're asked. It

1637
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:14,879
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be lopsided the way you described.

1638
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, but more of your phone

1639

01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:03,479

1650

Speaker 2: delay sausage, let's go.

1656
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 3: Friend of mine. That I worked with the CBS for

1657
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 3: a long time. Mark Grant was a director for CBS.

1658
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 2: Still is.

1659
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 3: It's from Baton Rouge. So he came up and so

1660
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 3: I always had the guys over to the house. So

1661
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 3: they come in. He goes, hey, here's what we're doing.

1662
01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:35,599
Speaker 3: So he made gumbo when he was up one time.

1663
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:39,880
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it was nectar of the gods. It

1664
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:42,720
Speaker 3: was so good. It was that and he goes, he,

1665
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 3: here's what you gotta do. And I was cooking up

1666
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 3: chicken thighs on my grill. I had like thirty of them,

1667
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:48,600
Speaker 3: and they just they just go.

1668

01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 3: It was unbelievable. Yeah, it was really unbelievable.

1671
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 2: Thing about I don't know, because like I've I've had

1672
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:07,559
Speaker 2: gumbo in a lot of different places. It's just different there.

1673
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,679
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. It's like the muddiest,

1674
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:12,800
Speaker 2: brownest looking gumbo you've ever found.

1675
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:14,560
Speaker 3: But oh my god, so shrimp.

1676
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:17,000
Speaker 2: You got a big old hunk of bread in your

1677
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,600
Speaker 2: hand and you're just dipping it and eating it, and

1678
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:23,719
Speaker 2: oh my god, it's just gloring. So yeah, God, bless

1679
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 2: the We got to find that out.

1680
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:29,599
Speaker 3: I want so the thing he just read about winning

1681
01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 3: to the trip to the super Bowl, you'll love it.

1682
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:35,840
Speaker 3: New Orleans is a city that is built for things

1683
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 3: like the Super Bowl. Yes it is, except for their

1684
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:41,800
Speaker 3: except for their football stadium blows fuses once in a while.

1685
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 2: But the exact origins of gumbo are unknown, but it's

1686
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 2: believed to have been created by a blend of cultures

1687
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:57,920
Speaker 2: and influences West African, French, Spanish, Caribbean, and Native American. Well,

1688
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:00,640
Speaker 2: that's just fitting because there's everything under the sun in

1689
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:04,040
Speaker 2: at gumbo, So why not have a blend of like

1690
01:30:04,240 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 2: eight different cultures all cooking up in the same pot.

1691
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:11,040
Speaker 2: Very good, because it's glorious. I just got to tell you,

1692
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 2: it's fantastic. Let's go to the falls in the sweepstake, Yes,

1693
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 2: good luck in the sweepstakes. Where we are asking you

1694
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 2: after watching the rest of the AFC this weekend, where

1695
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,760
Speaker 2: do the Bills fit and has your opinion changed? Let's

1696
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 2: go to DJ and Lockport to find out what you

1697
01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 2: got for his DJ here on One Bill's Live.

1698
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 16: Well, first, I'm I'm dying for some gumbo now minutes ago.

1699
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:37,599
Speaker 16: That sounds spicy, gumbo, sounds amazing. But ideally, Chris, I'm

1700
01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:39,639
Speaker 16: interested in your opinion too, But I was gonna ask

1701
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 16: Steve as a next player. I want to kind of

1702
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:42,679
Speaker 16: get off the subject.

1703
01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,280
Speaker 12: I want to get on the MVP idea.

1704
01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:47,720
Speaker 16: Last year, Alan was by far when it comes to

1705
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 16: like score touchdowns and leaving his team. For what he did,

1706
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,640
Speaker 16: I think he scored like eighty six percent of the

1707
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 16: team's touchdowns. Yet somehow Lamar Jackson had like sixteen less

1708
01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:00,639
Speaker 16: scores than Josh Allen did in thousands the less yard

1709
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 16: passing won the MVP, but he had a better record.

1710
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:07,280
Speaker 16: Well now, fast forward to this year, Allen has similar

1711
01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 16: stats than last year, but he also has the better record.

1712
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:14,000
Speaker 16: Lamar still has similar stats but a less record. Yet

1713
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 16: they're both in the same running for the MVP. The

1714
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:21,639
Speaker 16: next player. Even how do you interpret this, this Most

1715
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:24,720
Speaker 16: Valuable Player of your Team award? Is it just a

1716
01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 16: popularity contest? Not like when Thurman won it. Wouldn't you

1717
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:30,320
Speaker 16: say Tennis Davis would have been a pretty good starting

1718
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 16: running back for the team back then, even though Thurman

1719
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 16: won the MVP. I just it's just all up in

1720
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:36,680
Speaker 16: the near to me now and as the as the

1721
01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:39,479
Speaker 16: conversation goes, I just don't know what to think anymore.

1722
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 16: Like say, Kwon Barkley, great player, but he is by

1723
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:44,800
Speaker 16: no means the most valuable player to that Philly team

1724
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:46,559
Speaker 16: who just went to the Super Bowl few years ago,

1725
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:48,439
Speaker 16: who just won thirteen games a few years ago. Like,

1726
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:50,880
Speaker 16: I just don't know where where's the line drawn and

1727
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 16: who and who draws that? I can well the owners

1728
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 16: are so haying up and listen to have a great day, though.

1729
01:31:55,280 --> 01:32:00,879
Speaker 3: Guys, well is very thin, and it moves, and sometimes

1730
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:04,840
Speaker 3: it gets erased and redrawn as we're seeing and every

1731
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 3: and it's the thing. Picking the MVP. It's not a science,

1732
01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:12,720
Speaker 3: as you may as well say. It's an art, and

1733
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 3: it's affected by your own biases and your allegiances and

1734
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:23,840
Speaker 3: sometimes statistics, sometimes records, and sometimes just by what you

1735
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 3: think and what it looks like to the to a

1736
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 3: casual fan, it's there are no real specific criterion for

1737
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 3: picking the thing, which is where where the problems begin.

1738
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:42,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no set criteria. So here herein lies the

1739
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 2: problem that you just laid out, which essentially is Lamar

1740
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 2: won it based on his team's record, which was what

1741
01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 2: fourteen and three last year? Yeah, won it based on

1742
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 2: the team's number of victories fourteen and three, Josh had

1743
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 2: the superior individuals. To this year, Lamar has the statistics

1744
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 2: and Josh has the team with the better one loss record.

1745
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:14,000
Speaker 2: Are they gonna flip the criteria and decide it's individual stats?

1746
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:14,599
Speaker 3: Now? They might?

1747
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:17,960
Speaker 2: Well, then you're completely hypocritical.

1748
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 3: That's of course, yeah, And you run that risk. It's

1749
01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:27,439
Speaker 3: it who knows how this is gonna go. There's there's

1750
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 3: no set criteria, and sometimes if it was, like you know,

1751
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 3: college football, it's the best player on the best team.

1752
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:37,680
Speaker 3: Well it's a regular season award in the NFL, So

1753
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 3: how are you gonna now what? Right? So it's a problem,

1754
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:46,880
Speaker 3: but yeah, it's fun to talk about. And the Bills

1755
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 3: have a guy that's in there every year he's in

1756
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 3: that conversation. Maybe one maybe this year he'll you know,

1757
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 3: hang in there long enough and play well enough at

1758
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 3: the end to win it, or maybe the Bills to

1759
01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 3: clinch the AFC East this weekend, and he sits down

1760
01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:04,920
Speaker 3: for half of every game that's left because there's you know,

1761
01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:09,880
Speaker 3: no reason to or since you know, the Bills just

1762
01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:12,639
Speaker 3: get out in front and Kansas City loses a game.

1763
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:16,400
Speaker 3: Now the Bills are the one seed and Josh doesn't

1764
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 3: play enough, or for some other reason, somebody else emerges

1765
01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:23,559
Speaker 3: like Saquon Barkley breaks Eric Dickerson's thirty or forty year

1766
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 3: old record, and everybody says, well, he should get it.

1767
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:29,519
Speaker 3: So Josh gets you know, looked over passed over again.

1768
01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 3: All that stuff could happen. All you got to do

1769
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:37,840
Speaker 3: really is is do the number one thing. You're always

1770
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:41,040
Speaker 3: supposed to win games. If you win games, all the

1771
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,639
Speaker 3: other stuff takes care of itself. And I think that's

1772
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:45,519
Speaker 3: the kind of mantra you have to go with.

1773
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:51,200
Speaker 2: Fair enough break time for us when we return, NFL

1774
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 2: writer for Boston Sports Journal or good friend Mike Giardi

1775
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:55,360
Speaker 2: is going to join us. We're going to talk a

1776
01:34:55,400 --> 01:35:00,200
Speaker 2: little AFC East and what he four sees for the

1777
01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:02,439
Speaker 2: Patriots who are having a rough go of it right now,

1778
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, who are playing better football but have a

1779
01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 2: lot of cold weather games coming up, and the New

1780
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:09,759
Speaker 2: York Jets.

1781
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 3: Well.

1782
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:11,920
Speaker 2: Also get his thoughts on the Bills too. Mike g

1783
01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:13,760
Speaker 2: already coming up next to here on One Bill's Live

1784
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,160
Speaker 2: presented by Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1785
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:02,440
Speaker 1: The One Bill's presented by Camlia.

1786
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:02,800
Speaker 5: Help.

1787
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 2: All right, here we are our number three on a

1788
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:09,560
Speaker 2: Buffalo Football Monday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and

1789
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 2: please to be joined now by the NFL writer for

1790
01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:15,320
Speaker 2: Boston Sports Journal, Mike g already joining the show. Long time,

1791
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:18,479
Speaker 2: no talk, Mike, Hope you're doing well and you got

1792
01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:24,120
Speaker 2: an up close and personal look at Dolphins Patriots. Wasn't

1793
01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:29,240
Speaker 2: much of a game. Look, and the Dolphins are trying

1794
01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:31,599
Speaker 2: to make up for lost time here with two out

1795
01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 2: of lineup for a month, maybe they can get make

1796
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 2: a run at it here down the stretch. Their schedule

1797
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:40,120
Speaker 2: isn't supremely daunting. There's a couple of tough ones in there.

1798
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:43,519
Speaker 2: What is your assessment of the Dolphins as we currently

1799
01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:45,000
Speaker 2: see them? Let's start there today.

1800
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:49,000
Speaker 17: Yeah, obviously a much different team with two under center,

1801
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 17: and you're seeing that now they're averaging about thirty points

1802
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 17: a game since he's returned from the last concussion. Putting

1803
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 17: on an absolute clinic yesterday in the second quarter, three

1804
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 17: long drives, three touchdown drives, and then a field goal

1805
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:04,400
Speaker 17: drive has scored twenty four points in that quarter. Patriots

1806
01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:06,760
Speaker 17: claimed that they knew what was coming and yet still

1807
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:09,680
Speaker 17: couldn't stop it, and that sort of well, maybe a

1808
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:12,280
Speaker 17: little bit explains the Patriots dysfunction, but also just about

1809
01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:14,559
Speaker 17: how quickly he gets the ball out and he sort

1810
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:15,200
Speaker 17: of knows where.

1811
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 3: The ball needs to go.

1812
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:19,160
Speaker 17: Jalen Wattle finally emerged after really kind of a disappointing

1813
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:21,439
Speaker 17: season for him. Johona Smith has become a big time

1814
01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:23,800
Speaker 17: player for them over the last three or four weeks,

1815
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:25,799
Speaker 17: and I would say, to your point about the strength

1816
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:29,360
Speaker 17: of schedule, they do have an opportunity here to make

1817
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 17: some noise and maybe slide into the back end of

1818
01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:33,400
Speaker 17: the playoffs. I mean, it's a bunch of teams that

1819
01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:36,680
Speaker 17: have sort of had chances, the Bengals being one of them, right.

1820
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:38,639
Speaker 17: I think we all thought they'd probably be in the postseason,

1821
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:40,560
Speaker 17: and they're staring at four and seven right now, So

1822
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 17: why not Miami at this point. I mean, they're probably

1823
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 17: playing better than most of those teams at the back

1824
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:47,760
Speaker 17: end of the conference at this point.

1825
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they are playing great offense, and they've publicly

1826
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,280
Speaker 3: said I got to tip my hat to him, they're

1827
01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 3: going to run the table. And the way their offense

1828
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,200
Speaker 3: is playing, even in the game they lost here in Buffalo,

1829
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 3: the Dolphins were really play in top notch offense. What

1830
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 3: is the key to them running the table going forward?

1831
01:38:06,200 --> 01:38:08,320
Speaker 17: I mean, I think they're gonna have outscore teams. The

1832
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:11,200
Speaker 17: defense is definitely better. Anthony Weaver's done a nice job

1833
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:13,160
Speaker 17: with them. I've liked the way they've played by and

1834
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 17: large here in the second half of the season, and

1835
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 17: some of the numbers back that up. But I still

1836
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:21,200
Speaker 17: look at it and say it's short a corner. You

1837
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:23,920
Speaker 17: see Jordan out there, Jordan Poyer in safety. His best

1838
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:26,439
Speaker 17: days are behind him. He makes some plays every week

1839
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 17: or doesn't make plays every week that you say, yeah,

1840
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:31,439
Speaker 17: you know, they probably could have done better at that spot.

1841
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:35,120
Speaker 17: One thing that's been great for them defensively is Chop Robinson,

1842
01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:37,280
Speaker 17: the first round pick out of Penn State, is coming

1843
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 17: on like gangbusters. If you're into some of the metrics,

1844
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 17: the pass rush win rate, say that ten times fast.

1845
01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:45,680
Speaker 17: He's one of the five or six best guys in

1846
01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:47,640
Speaker 17: the league here over the last six seven weeks. And

1847
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:50,639
Speaker 17: not that the Patriots have a great line by any stretch.

1848
01:38:50,680 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 17: They have one of the worst. But he absolutely did

1849
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:54,879
Speaker 17: what you're supposed to do to bad lines. He absolutely

1850
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:57,960
Speaker 17: dominated them in the game, and I think that's certainly

1851
01:38:58,080 --> 01:39:00,720
Speaker 17: changed their trajectory a little bit as a defense if

1852
01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 17: he can continue to play to that level. But to me,

1853
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:05,080
Speaker 17: it still comes down to they're built around their offense,

1854
01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:07,400
Speaker 17: they're built around two. Can they keep them up right,

1855
01:39:07,439 --> 01:39:09,080
Speaker 17: can they get the ball out of his hands quickly?

1856
01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:11,639
Speaker 17: And can the run game be enough of a compliment

1857
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:14,240
Speaker 17: so that it isn't strictly you know, throwing forty five

1858
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 17: to fifty times a game.

1859
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:17,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, last one on the Dolphins. I mean, you know

1860
01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:20,200
Speaker 2: what the narrative is going to be this week. Two

1861
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:22,880
Speaker 2: is zero for seven in games that kick offf at

1862
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 2: less than forty degrees. It's a Thursday night game in

1863
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:30,760
Speaker 2: green Bay. Forecast low of twenty four, no pre sip.

1864
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:33,400
Speaker 2: But still in all that's going to be the narrative

1865
01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:35,680
Speaker 2: this week is he's got to get that monkey off

1866
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 2: his back.

1867
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 17: Yeah, there's no question. There's a bunch of people, right

1868
01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:40,800
Speaker 17: we talk about that when you look at the league,

1869
01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:44,320
Speaker 17: like Lamar, he's a great player. Gotta win in the postseason.

1870
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:45,920
Speaker 17: You got to take your team to a super Bowl.

1871
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:48,280
Speaker 17: Two is in that spot now where it's not quite

1872
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:49,960
Speaker 17: to that level. But yeah, you've got to win in

1873
01:39:50,040 --> 01:39:53,360
Speaker 17: the cold. And look, green Bay's defense, it's probably the

1874
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 17: best part of their team. I didn't know that I

1875
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:57,280
Speaker 17: would say that going in, but certainly Jeff Hafley, the

1876
01:39:57,360 --> 01:39:59,639
Speaker 17: former BC coach, has them playing some good d there.

1877
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:03,599
Speaker 17: That's become a real strength of their team. So, yeah,

1878
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,240
Speaker 17: he's got a challenge between the weather and the guys

1879
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 17: he's running up against. I mean, that defense has I

1880
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:11,600
Speaker 17: think seven first round picks on the defense, all like

1881
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:14,400
Speaker 17: under thirty. So there's enough talent there and it feels

1882
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 17: like it's finally starting to gel for them. So if

1883
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 17: two is gonna get it done in the cold weather,

1884
01:40:18,479 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 17: he's gonna have to beat a pretty good defense to

1885
01:40:20,120 --> 01:40:20,280
Speaker 17: do it.

1886
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:22,800
Speaker 3: Give us a little bit of insight as to the

1887
01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:26,320
Speaker 3: latest decisions by the New York Jets to use the

1888
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:29,599
Speaker 3: thirty third team to help them vet their next GM.

1889
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:34,040
Speaker 3: I was telling them Brown, we don't have any love

1890
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 3: loss for the Jets here. One Bill's live right, and

1891
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:42,080
Speaker 3: even I'm discouraged. I mean, it's it's a mess, and

1892
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 3: they've got a lot of issues that for any other

1893
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 3: team would be front burner issues. They got to take

1894
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:49,720
Speaker 3: care of it, right, but they got like six of them.

1895
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:51,479
Speaker 3: Where do they start?

1896
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 17: Well, I mean, the first place that would be great

1897
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 17: for them is if maybe the owner decides that he's

1898
01:40:58,120 --> 01:41:00,880
Speaker 17: gonna go be in Donald Trump cabinet to be an

1899
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:03,800
Speaker 17: ambassador somewhere and have his younger brother take over like

1900
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:06,599
Speaker 17: he did the last time Trump was in office, because

1901
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:08,720
Speaker 17: it seemed as if there was a little bit more

1902
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,320
Speaker 17: cohesion in terms of what was going on in that

1903
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 17: building when Chris was in charge as opposed to what's

1904
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 17: happened with Woody in charge of what He's got his

1905
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,880
Speaker 17: fingerprints on a bunch of this stuff. You know, he

1906
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:21,840
Speaker 17: basically said he fired Robert solo without telling anyone that

1907
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 17: was his decision. You know, he shows up in the

1908
01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:28,560
Speaker 17: helicopter last week and can's Joe Douglas. Joe Douglas was

1909
01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:30,160
Speaker 17: joking like, well, if they call me into the office,

1910
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:32,760
Speaker 17: I'm probably done today when the helicopter lands, And sure enough,

1911
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:36,400
Speaker 17: that's that. Not saying that Joe Douglass probably deserved to

1912
01:41:36,479 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 17: keep his job, although I'm really not sure the point

1913
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 17: of making it happen now, because when you look at it,

1914
01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:42,880
Speaker 17: they could talk about trying to get a head start

1915
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:46,400
Speaker 17: on finding their next GM, and there's back channeling that

1916
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:49,719
Speaker 17: can be done. But I would imagine, I mean, I know, legally,

1917
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:52,200
Speaker 17: based on the NFL rules, they're not supposed to be

1918
01:41:52,280 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 17: talking to anybody who's currently working in a front office somewhere.

1919
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 17: So whether that's the guys in Philadelphia or some of

1920
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:00,840
Speaker 17: the guys in Kansas City who's have been brought up,

1921
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 17: they're not supposed to be talking to him at this point.

1922
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:07,360
Speaker 17: At least not publicly, so it feels like a little

1923
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:10,040
Speaker 17: bit of a dog and pony show, the whole thirty

1924
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:14,680
Speaker 17: third team. Like this almost feels to me like Rick

1925
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:17,080
Speaker 17: Spielman is the guy that they want to have sort

1926
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:19,080
Speaker 17: of helped them conduct this search. I don't know what

1927
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:21,840
Speaker 17: Rick's relationship is with Woody, but it's clear that there's

1928
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:25,680
Speaker 17: there's some confidence in Rick's ability to maybe present them

1929
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 17: the right candidate, or maybe he becomes the right candidate.

1930
01:42:28,200 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I think to.

1931
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:33,160
Speaker 17: Your larger point, Steve, it's just a giant mess, right,

1932
01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:38,200
Speaker 17: new GM, new head coach. You know, ninety nine nine

1933
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:40,760
Speaker 17: percent chance that Aaron Rodgers gets cut when this is

1934
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:42,120
Speaker 17: all said and done, and they have to find a

1935
01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:45,639
Speaker 17: new quarterback as well. I understand what they did when

1936
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:47,559
Speaker 17: they brought Rogers in there, I don't I can't really

1937
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:49,439
Speaker 17: fault them for it, even though Rogers came with his

1938
01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 17: set of baggage. But it's literally blown up in their face.

1939
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 17: It's been pretty much right from the get go. It's

1940
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:58,160
Speaker 17: been a disaster for them. And you know, here we

1941
01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 17: are a year and a half later and since Rogers

1942
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 17: arrived and everybody's getting blown out and they're going to

1943
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:04,120
Speaker 17: have to start all over again.

1944
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 2: And then with the Patriots, you know, they get waxed

1945
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:11,680
Speaker 2: yesterday against Miami and there have been a handful of

1946
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:15,799
Speaker 2: ugly games like that. Drake May is probably the biggest

1947
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:18,320
Speaker 2: bright spot he's come along. Alex Van Pelt's done some

1948
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 2: good work with him. But their offensive line is nothing

1949
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:25,680
Speaker 2: to write home about. And I was taken by a

1950
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:28,400
Speaker 2: particular line here. And you're right up in the Boston

1951
01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 2: Sports Journal where you were talking about what Belichick did

1952
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:37,320
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one to kind of use a bit

1953
01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 2: of a charade to look like he was improving the roster,

1954
01:43:41,120 --> 01:43:44,639
Speaker 2: and you said, the reality is that unhinged fiscal splurge

1955
01:43:44,760 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 2: merely sprayed cologne over a rotting corpse of the team

1956
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,680
Speaker 2: you once knew. And that's probably as accurate as you

1957
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 2: can get in terms of what Belichick did in his

1958
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:56,200
Speaker 2: last couple of years. But they're still paying for it now.

1959
01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:00,720
Speaker 17: Yeah, So you can go back, you know, if you'd

1960
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 17: want to take a deep dive into their drafting, in

1961
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:05,800
Speaker 17: Belichick's drafting in particular, I mean, you can go back

1962
01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:08,879
Speaker 17: to twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, when it started to unravel

1963
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 17: in twenty twenty one. Because of the COVID circumstance, they

1964
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:15,760
Speaker 17: had more money than a lot of other teams did,

1965
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,760
Speaker 17: and they and they went nuts. But really, as I

1966
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:20,760
Speaker 17: pointed out there, it was just to cover up how

1967
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 17: bad their drafting had been. You know, there's something to

1968
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:25,400
Speaker 17: the effect. And I forget the exact number now, I

1969
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:27,240
Speaker 17: should have it committed to memory. I've written it so

1970
01:44:27,320 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 17: many times. But they hadn't signed a first, second, or

1971
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:33,719
Speaker 17: third round pick to a second contract in like ten years.

1972
01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:38,960
Speaker 17: That's just an absolute damning statement against your Italian college

1973
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 17: talent evaluation and your ability ability to develop those guys

1974
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:45,519
Speaker 17: once they got in the building. So Bill created this mess.

1975
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:48,280
Speaker 17: And you were hoping that when they made the transfer

1976
01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:50,519
Speaker 17: and power to Gerrodmeha was the head coach and Elliot

1977
01:44:50,600 --> 01:44:52,960
Speaker 17: Wolf as a general manager, that they would start the

1978
01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 17: rebuild process and start to turn over some of that roster.

1979
01:44:56,560 --> 01:45:00,240
Speaker 17: They've largely failed in what they've done here in year one.

1980
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:02,720
Speaker 17: Other than Drake May, there hasn't been a lot of

1981
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:04,880
Speaker 17: development from their rookie class. You know, seven of the

1982
01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 17: eight guys or offensive players, two of them, you know,

1983
01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 17: top four round receivers in Jalen Polk and Jayvon Baker.

1984
01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 17: Baker's barely been able to get on the field even

1985
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:15,960
Speaker 17: though he started yesterday. One target didn't play a ton

1986
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 17: of snaps. Polk's been a disaster as a second rounder.

1987
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 17: Not saying that they can't turn out to be good players,

1988
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 17: just saying that they've brought absolutely nothing to the table.

1989
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:28,800
Speaker 17: Their third round tackle, Caden Wallace, they tried to move

1990
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:30,679
Speaker 17: him from right side where he played at Penn State,

1991
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 17: to the left side in the NFL. Surprisingly, unsurprisingly, rather

1992
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:38,000
Speaker 17: didn't work. Played some right tackle, got hurt, has been

1993
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:40,719
Speaker 17: out for about eight weeks now. He's coming back soon,

1994
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:42,600
Speaker 17: but you know, again, we're getting near the end of

1995
01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:42,920
Speaker 17: the year.

1996
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 3: What do you have there?

1997
01:45:45,120 --> 01:45:48,200
Speaker 17: And then, with the exception of May, who's obviously been

1998
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:51,120
Speaker 17: a bright light, there just aren't too many places on

1999
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:53,000
Speaker 17: this football team where you can point to and say,

2000
01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:56,240
Speaker 17: oh yeah, between the end of last year, or even

2001
01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:57,960
Speaker 17: if you wanted to start with the new regime and

2002
01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:01,320
Speaker 17: real coaching in July, starting a training that's gotten better

2003
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:04,160
Speaker 17: from July to here in late November, you know, you're

2004
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:06,679
Speaker 17: hard pressed, quite frankly, to come up with a group

2005
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:10,840
Speaker 17: other than the quarterback. So that's pretty damning, and it's

2006
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:14,640
Speaker 17: got to be frustrating for all involved and especially for

2007
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:17,120
Speaker 17: the fan base. You know, like this is now technically

2008
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:20,680
Speaker 17: year five of the post Tom Brady rebuild, and you're

2009
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:23,400
Speaker 17: as far away now as you were then, with the

2010
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:24,479
Speaker 17: exception of you think.

2011
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:26,160
Speaker 3: That you have the quarterback? Is there going to be

2012
01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:28,000
Speaker 3: a price paid by the guys in the building now,

2013
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:31,280
Speaker 3: like Gerard Mayo by You know, what does Robert Kraft do?

2014
01:46:31,439 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 3: What is he? Has he said anything publicly or has

2015
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:36,920
Speaker 3: there been any inkling at major changes?

2016
01:46:38,400 --> 01:46:40,519
Speaker 17: So Robert has been very quiet about all of this.

2017
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:43,920
Speaker 17: In fact, I don't know that we've spoken to him

2018
01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:47,880
Speaker 17: since the league meetings back in the spring. I'll say this,

2019
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:53,439
Speaker 17: I think Gerard is safe barring a complete debacle here

2020
01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:55,800
Speaker 17: the last five games of the season. I don't know

2021
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:58,840
Speaker 17: that that's necessarily the right thing. I think what you're

2022
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 17: gonna see is there'll be some fall guys. You know,

2023
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:03,880
Speaker 17: there'll be some changes on the coaching staff. It wouldn't

2024
01:47:03,880 --> 01:47:06,840
Speaker 17: surprise me despite the job that Alex Van Pelt has

2025
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:10,439
Speaker 17: done in developing Drake may If maybe Van Pelt becomes

2026
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:14,080
Speaker 17: sort of the sacrificial lamb here, if you will, for

2027
01:47:14,479 --> 01:47:17,080
Speaker 17: what they do behind the scenes, I would imagine the

2028
01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 17: wide receiver coach is gonna get bounced. There'll be some

2029
01:47:19,120 --> 01:47:21,680
Speaker 17: few other things, but I think if they change some

2030
01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:23,800
Speaker 17: of the deck chairs behind the scenes, I don't think

2031
01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:25,639
Speaker 17: that the fan base is really going to be excited

2032
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:26,960
Speaker 17: about that. I don't even know if that's going to

2033
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 17: satisfy the owner. I think it's going to have to

2034
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:32,400
Speaker 17: be one of the bigger guys. And considering Gerrod, his

2035
01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:37,280
Speaker 17: biggest hire was promoting DeMarcus Covington the defensive coordinator, while

2036
01:47:37,320 --> 01:47:39,280
Speaker 17: Elliott Wolf had his fingerprints on a lot of these

2037
01:47:39,320 --> 01:47:42,760
Speaker 17: other coaching moves, I would imagine DeMarcus and Girod are

2038
01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:45,559
Speaker 17: safe and that it kind of leads me to Alex.

2039
01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:48,559
Speaker 17: And I'm not sure necessarily that Alex deserves to get bounced,

2040
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 17: But I've been around this. You guys have been around

2041
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 17: this for a long time. When things go this way,

2042
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:57,200
Speaker 17: and if they finish whatever three and fourteen, four and thirteen,

2043
01:47:57,280 --> 01:48:01,559
Speaker 17: even five and twelve, heads will And I think that's

2044
01:48:01,680 --> 01:48:03,120
Speaker 17: probably where it's gonna start.

2045
01:48:03,400 --> 01:48:06,000
Speaker 3: Why would you bounce the guy that's helping your quarterback

2046
01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:07,559
Speaker 3: play so well as a young guy.

2047
01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:11,920
Speaker 17: Yeah, well that's taking a page out of the bad

2048
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:16,640
Speaker 17: franchise playbook, and right now, quite frankly, they've become a

2049
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:19,080
Speaker 17: bad franchise. It's the last four or five years they've

2050
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:21,840
Speaker 17: just not been very competitive. They've been sort of, as

2051
01:48:21,880 --> 01:48:24,000
Speaker 17: I wrote in the piece today, they're a little bit aimless.

2052
01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 11: You know.

2053
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:29,120
Speaker 17: The talking points changed from week to week. I just

2054
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 17: to me, there's a lack of leadership amongst the group,

2055
01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:34,640
Speaker 17: and I think a lot of people are sort of

2056
01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:36,519
Speaker 17: fending for themselves. I think it's not just in the

2057
01:48:36,560 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 17: coaching staff in the front office. I also think it's

2058
01:48:38,479 --> 01:48:40,800
Speaker 17: in the locker room. And this is what happens when

2059
01:48:40,840 --> 01:48:43,479
Speaker 17: you go eight and nine, four and thirteen and three

2060
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:45,960
Speaker 17: and nine. Like, guys are pretty much loyal to themselves

2061
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,120
Speaker 17: at this point because the chances of you staying here

2062
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:50,360
Speaker 17: in the long term are probably not that high.

2063
01:48:51,560 --> 01:48:55,160
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk more positive things. The Bills at

2064
01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 2: nine to two, coming off a buye, and we're trying

2065
01:48:58,200 --> 01:49:01,960
Speaker 2: to see why the right spot is to fit them

2066
01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:06,280
Speaker 2: in the current AFC hierarchy. I mean, obviously the Chiefs

2067
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:09,519
Speaker 2: keep winning. Steve argues that they're kind of just playing

2068
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:11,719
Speaker 2: with their food here through the rest of the regular season.

2069
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:14,240
Speaker 2: They're just like in, let's just get to the playoffs

2070
01:49:14,280 --> 01:49:16,160
Speaker 2: mode like they have been the last couple of years.

2071
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:19,280
Speaker 2: So they kind of meander their way through regular season games,

2072
01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:23,160
Speaker 2: you know, and then there's a huge game tonight that

2073
01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:27,320
Speaker 2: could impact AFC hierarchy obviously with the Ravens and Chargers,

2074
01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:30,120
Speaker 2: But where do you see the Bills fitting in the

2075
01:49:30,160 --> 01:49:31,160
Speaker 2: pecking order right now?

2076
01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:34,599
Speaker 17: I think the Bills are the best team in the AFC.

2077
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:41,799
Speaker 17: Obviously the Chiefs have the better record, but five games

2078
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 17: now decided on the last play of the game.

2079
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:45,439
Speaker 2: You know.

2080
01:49:45,560 --> 01:49:48,160
Speaker 17: The if you read the stories yesterday about sort of

2081
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:50,400
Speaker 17: their locker room and how they felt afterward, it's like

2082
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:53,479
Speaker 17: there's a there's a level of frustration there. It's interesting

2083
01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:55,880
Speaker 17: when you look at the Kansas City in particular, guys,

2084
01:49:56,520 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 17: they're really slow and maybe Marquise Hollywood b shows up

2085
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 17: for the postseason, but you know, hasn't played all year,

2086
01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 17: so even what sort of impact can he have? Worthy

2087
01:50:06,520 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 17: is more of a gadget type player at this point,

2088
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:10,519
Speaker 17: so he has the speed, but you're not really he's

2089
01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 17: not out there consistently in their three wide receiver sets

2090
01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:16,800
Speaker 17: against against you guys, the Bills, they're running out three

2091
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 17: receiver sets of Justin Watson, Juju Smith, Schuster, and DeAndre Hopkins.

2092
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:24,559
Speaker 17: Watson runs better than the other two guys, and Watson's

2093
01:50:24,600 --> 01:50:28,479
Speaker 17: not exactly some burner, right, so Travis is older. It

2094
01:50:28,640 --> 01:50:31,479
Speaker 17: just to me, there's a lot of They know how

2095
01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:33,840
Speaker 17: to win, and that's and that's an important thing to

2096
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:36,320
Speaker 17: be and they know how to win big games. But

2097
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:39,519
Speaker 17: I think that they are as vulnerable as they've been

2098
01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 17: since Patrick and Andy have sort of taken this to

2099
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:45,519
Speaker 17: the next level. And to me, the way Buffalo has

2100
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:49,840
Speaker 17: come on, in particular, to me, the defense and how

2101
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:52,519
Speaker 17: the defense has played, considering sort of the changes and

2102
01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 17: not having Malino for the better part of the or

2103
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:57,960
Speaker 17: for the entirety of the year, says a lot about

2104
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:00,280
Speaker 17: what Sean and Bobby Babbie have been able to do.

2105
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:03,439
Speaker 17: And I feel like with some of those younger players,

2106
01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:05,080
Speaker 17: there's a chance to even get better here in the

2107
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:08,000
Speaker 17: final month as you tune up for the postseason. So

2108
01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:11,760
Speaker 17: I'm Buffalo. What I'm hoping for is that this all

2109
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:13,800
Speaker 17: catches up to Kansas City a little bit. They lose

2110
01:51:13,840 --> 01:51:15,560
Speaker 17: a couple more games, and maybe you end up with

2111
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:18,640
Speaker 17: home field, get the buy and then everybody has to

2112
01:51:18,720 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 17: come through Orchard Park to beat you. But I think

2113
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 17: what they've shown is that they can go other places

2114
01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 17: and they can win. And we know if it comes

2115
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:29,600
Speaker 17: down to them in Kansas City, they're not going to

2116
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:32,160
Speaker 17: be afraid of Kansas City. Baltimore to me, is the

2117
01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 17: other X factor in this whole thing, more so than

2118
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:36,560
Speaker 17: even the Chargers, who I know everybody's kind of on

2119
01:51:36,720 --> 01:51:38,880
Speaker 17: right now, because I think we realize that the way

2120
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:41,240
Speaker 17: Baltimore is playing offense and the way Lamar can play

2121
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:45,320
Speaker 17: that they're capable of going for thirty something, but their

2122
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:48,400
Speaker 17: defense has been poor. And I know they smacked Buffalo

2123
01:51:48,439 --> 01:51:50,720
Speaker 17: around early in the year, but that seemed like a

2124
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:55,679
Speaker 17: cert like this. The confluence of events conspired perfectly. Baltimore

2125
01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:58,639
Speaker 17: needed it, Buffalo didn't need it. Baltimore got it, played

2126
01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:02,000
Speaker 17: a perfect game game, but they've sort of been a

2127
01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:05,439
Speaker 17: roller coaster, especially defensively, and I just I don't trust

2128
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:07,960
Speaker 17: that team to go on a long run in January

2129
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 17: and February just because of how the defense is played.

2130
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:12,720
Speaker 17: So give me the most consistent team in the in

2131
01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:14,000
Speaker 17: the conference, and that's Buffalo.

2132
01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:16,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were talking about this game tonight the Hardball

2133
01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 3: Bowl out in La where the Chargers are hosting Baltimore,

2134
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:22,720
Speaker 3: and I was telling Brownie that there's a chance you

2135
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:25,479
Speaker 3: can see a scenario very easily where Baltimore gets squeezed

2136
01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:27,479
Speaker 3: out of the playoff. Honey, if they don't win tonight,

2137
01:52:28,160 --> 01:52:31,639
Speaker 3: they've got Philly next week and that would be another

2138
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 3: loss on their ledger, and they really can't afford too

2139
01:52:35,600 --> 01:52:37,080
Speaker 3: many more of those and kind of stay in it,

2140
01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 3: particularly if LA gets in and you've got you know,

2141
01:52:41,800 --> 01:52:45,320
Speaker 3: the playoffs. The way they're sitting, there's and I was

2142
01:52:45,360 --> 01:52:47,320
Speaker 3: telling Brownie my hot take of the day was maybe

2143
01:52:47,400 --> 01:52:51,040
Speaker 3: Baltimore doesn't get in the playoffs because Miami runs the table.

2144
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 3: They get to they get to eleven and six, and

2145
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:57,880
Speaker 3: Baltimore drops to ten and seven because they get beat

2146
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,479
Speaker 3: by the Chargers, by phil and then by Pittsburgh again

2147
01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:04,200
Speaker 3: late in the season. That gives them seven losses. And

2148
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:06,560
Speaker 3: then you know, Denver's kind of hangs in there. The

2149
01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 3: Chargers are there and Miami squeezes in. Baltimore's got a

2150
01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:12,280
Speaker 3: win and it starts tonight.

2151
01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:16,880
Speaker 17: Yeah, Steve, I don't think that's crazy talk. And you

2152
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:18,800
Speaker 17: know what's interesting to me about this, I keep pointing

2153
01:53:18,840 --> 01:53:22,600
Speaker 17: to their defense. I don't feel like they've been a

2154
01:53:22,720 --> 01:53:25,160
Speaker 17: very disciplined football team this year. I think you saw

2155
01:53:25,240 --> 01:53:27,680
Speaker 17: that against Pittsburgh too, where really, like I don't know,

2156
01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:29,840
Speaker 17: it's sort of like hammered it home for me, Like

2157
01:53:30,120 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 17: they're they're one of the league leaders in penalties. Pittsburgh

2158
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:35,519
Speaker 17: wanted to muck that game up, right, They wanted to

2159
01:53:35,600 --> 01:53:37,320
Speaker 17: sort of do some of the stuff after the whistle.

2160
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:39,600
Speaker 17: They wanted to try to get in their head. Baltimore

2161
01:53:39,680 --> 01:53:42,120
Speaker 17: knew that they were told that, and they still did

2162
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,800
Speaker 17: it right. Double digit penalties in that game, a lot

2163
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:48,320
Speaker 17: of stupid plays. And for his I mean, I think

2164
01:53:48,360 --> 01:53:50,479
Speaker 17: the world of Lamar. I think he's a phenomenal talent,

2165
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:54,160
Speaker 17: a rare talent, you know, certainly one of the MVP

2166
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:57,840
Speaker 17: front runners right along with Josh and Barkley. But to

2167
01:53:57,920 --> 01:54:00,960
Speaker 17: the point we were making earlier point, dude, you got

2168
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:03,040
Speaker 17: to take these guys and you got to elevate them. Like,

2169
01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:05,680
Speaker 17: I know, stuff's happening around. You can't control how the

2170
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 17: defense plays and all that, but in a big game,

2171
01:54:07,600 --> 01:54:09,560
Speaker 17: in a big moment, you've got to go to the

2172
01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:13,600
Speaker 17: next place. And at least so far in his January performances,

2173
01:54:13,880 --> 01:54:16,120
Speaker 17: he hasn't done that, So there's a lot of pressure there.

2174
01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:19,639
Speaker 17: And I wonder about Harbaugh too, like if as I mentioned,

2175
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:22,759
Speaker 17: like I don't think they're very disciplined. That falls on players,

2176
01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 17: but obviously on the coaching too, like are you getting

2177
01:54:25,200 --> 01:54:26,840
Speaker 17: through to them? Why aren't you getting through to them?

2178
01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:29,360
Speaker 17: And I wonder too if this sort of sparrows in

2179
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:31,519
Speaker 17: the wrong direction, if we don't have a surprise sort

2180
01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:33,720
Speaker 17: of at the end of the year, like maybe Harbaugh's

2181
01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:35,480
Speaker 17: in trouble because you know, it was a few years

2182
01:54:35,520 --> 01:54:38,600
Speaker 17: ago that he was in this spot where the people

2183
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:41,560
Speaker 17: were talking about his potential job future. And look, I

2184
01:54:41,600 --> 01:54:44,400
Speaker 17: think universally considered a really good coach and a program builder.

2185
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:48,160
Speaker 17: But at what point you know you're responsible to you

2186
01:54:48,200 --> 01:54:49,440
Speaker 17: got to get him over the hump as well.

2187
01:54:50,400 --> 01:54:52,880
Speaker 2: Mike, thanks for the time. Is always appreciated. We'll catch

2188
01:54:52,960 --> 01:54:53,640
Speaker 2: up with you down.

2189
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 17: The line, Brianie, Steve, great to see you guys.

2190
01:54:56,240 --> 01:54:56,520
Speaker 3: Be well.

2191
01:54:56,560 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 2: All right, that's Mike Gyaradi, NFL writer for Boston Sports JO.

2192
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:01,800
Speaker 2: I only may remember him from his days at NFL

2193
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:05,240
Speaker 2: Network as well, but he's plugged in to the AFC

2194
01:55:05,440 --> 01:55:10,320
Speaker 2: conference obviously does a lot of coverage of the Patriots, man.

2195
01:55:10,400 --> 01:55:13,040
Speaker 2: That's I'm a little disappointed to hear that that AVP

2196
01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:14,720
Speaker 2: could be in a little trouble. He's doing good work

2197
01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:16,520
Speaker 2: up there with Drake Man. That makes sense to me.

2198
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:18,560
Speaker 2: Just double sighted.

2199
01:55:18,640 --> 01:55:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate to see the bad things happen to

2200
01:55:21,040 --> 01:55:22,760
Speaker 3: people I got a lot of love and respect for

2201
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:27,640
Speaker 3: like Alex van Pelt. But on the other hand, I

2202
01:55:27,680 --> 01:55:29,720
Speaker 3: would love to see the Patriots implode further.

2203
01:55:30,880 --> 01:55:33,480
Speaker 2: But AVP just got railroaded out of Cleveland last year

2204
01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:36,400
Speaker 2: as a fall guy for their offensive failures, and he

2205
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:40,200
Speaker 2: wasn't even calling the place. It's crazy how that happens.

2206
01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:41,840
Speaker 2: I'm it.

2207
01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:49,200
Speaker 3: The Jets and the Patriots. I mean, the Patriots are

2208
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:51,800
Speaker 3: regressing back to where they were before Robert Kraft bought

2209
01:55:51,840 --> 01:55:58,520
Speaker 3: the team, and for whatever reason, don't forget, I mean

2210
01:55:58,600 --> 01:56:01,960
Speaker 3: the last ten years before Tom Brady left, the Patriots

2211
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:03,720
Speaker 3: spent less money than any team in the league on

2212
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:06,720
Speaker 3: their roster. Over the last the ten years before Brady

2213
01:56:06,840 --> 01:56:09,880
Speaker 3: left and got all those Super Bowls were you know,

2214
01:56:10,160 --> 01:56:12,040
Speaker 3: you can make You can say what you want about

2215
01:56:12,120 --> 01:56:13,680
Speaker 3: how they were able to do it, what was going

2216
01:56:13,720 --> 01:56:16,880
Speaker 3: on over there, anything else, but they didn't spend money,

2217
01:56:20,280 --> 01:56:23,720
Speaker 3: and the roster reflects it right, or if they did

2218
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:25,040
Speaker 3: spend it, it wasn't wisely.

2219
01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:28,520
Speaker 2: I mean, Elliott Wolf is the only saving grace they

2220
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:31,560
Speaker 2: could hope to have, and his first draft class doesn't

2221
01:56:31,560 --> 01:56:33,920
Speaker 2: look terribly good. It might be doing part to the

2222
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:36,840
Speaker 2: fact that they have problems with player development as well.

2223
01:56:37,160 --> 01:56:40,120
Speaker 2: Players get there and they don't get better, and that's

2224
01:56:40,160 --> 01:56:43,520
Speaker 2: a huge problem. No matter how good your GM is

2225
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:47,240
Speaker 2: in acquiring talent, if you don't develop the talent, your

2226
01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:49,720
Speaker 2: team will never reach its maximum potential, as.

2227
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:51,840
Speaker 3: Good as they might have been in NCAA and Power

2228
01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 3: five Conference, the SEC, Big ten, Big twelve, whatever you

2229
01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:57,520
Speaker 3: want to call it, whatever level you want to talk about.

2230
01:56:57,960 --> 01:56:59,760
Speaker 3: They got to play better when they get to this level,

2231
01:57:00,520 --> 01:57:04,960
Speaker 3: and if they don't, they don't they're not worth keeping

2232
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:05,400
Speaker 3: on your team.

2233
01:57:05,520 --> 01:57:07,520
Speaker 2: Right, Let's get back to the phones at eight oh

2234
01:57:07,520 --> 01:57:10,400
Speaker 2: three h five fifty and to Ron and Buffalo, who's

2235
01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:11,680
Speaker 2: been waiting patiently? What do you got for us?

2236
01:57:11,760 --> 01:57:11,920
Speaker 3: Ron?

2237
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:13,680
Speaker 18: He and a gentleman.

2238
01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:15,080
Speaker 7: I watched the show every day.

2239
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:15,520
Speaker 3: I love it.

2240
01:57:15,640 --> 01:57:15,880
Speaker 9: Listen.

2241
01:57:16,360 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 18: I was having coffee with a few of my friends

2242
01:57:18,600 --> 01:57:23,120
Speaker 18: the other day and everybody's trying to figure out what

2243
01:57:23,400 --> 01:57:26,680
Speaker 18: more the Bills could do to make up a little

2244
01:57:26,720 --> 01:57:30,240
Speaker 18: bit stronger going down the road. The one name that

2245
01:57:30,400 --> 01:57:33,760
Speaker 18: came up, and he's my favorite player is Golano. How

2246
01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:36,240
Speaker 18: fit is he and is he going to help that

2247
01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:37,920
Speaker 18: defensive he gets on that view?

2248
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would anticipate he will. I mean, you're talking

2249
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:45,440
Speaker 2: about an all Pro caliber player. Ron The Bills don't

2250
01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:48,240
Speaker 2: need to add any more players. They're gonna get players

2251
01:57:48,320 --> 01:57:52,800
Speaker 2: back healthy. That's gonna be the influx of talent that

2252
01:57:53,280 --> 01:57:56,760
Speaker 2: maybe fans are wondering about because you're talking about players

2253
01:57:56,880 --> 01:58:03,280
Speaker 2: like Keon Coleman, Spencer Brown on, Matt Milano, Dwayne Carter,

2254
01:58:03,920 --> 01:58:06,640
Speaker 2: I mean, Dewan Smoot, who's still a little ways away.

2255
01:58:07,280 --> 01:58:10,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you got like four or five guys that

2256
01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:13,640
Speaker 2: were part of their top twenty two on offense and defense.

2257
01:58:14,640 --> 01:58:16,520
Speaker 2: You add those guys back into the fold over the

2258
01:58:16,600 --> 01:58:18,880
Speaker 2: last month of the regular season, making a trade it's

2259
01:58:18,920 --> 01:58:23,040
Speaker 2: like making three trades. Yeah so yeah. I mean, look,

2260
01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:26,040
Speaker 2: we haven't seen Milano play since Week five of last year,

2261
01:58:26,120 --> 01:58:29,400
Speaker 2: so it's hard to definitively say what he's going to

2262
01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:31,320
Speaker 2: look like and if he's going to be the Matt

2263
01:58:31,400 --> 01:58:32,960
Speaker 2: Mlonal of old. But I'll tell you one thing, I'm

2264
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:34,840
Speaker 2: not doubting them right.

2265
01:58:35,160 --> 01:58:38,200
Speaker 3: He's he's a playmaker, and he's he's one of those

2266
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:41,120
Speaker 3: guys that gets is out in front of it mentally.

2267
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:43,520
Speaker 3: He makes plays. He plays with the right attitude. He's

2268
01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:45,400
Speaker 3: always he goes for it when he's to go for it.

2269
01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:47,480
Speaker 3: He makes the plays he should make and makes plays

2270
01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:50,240
Speaker 3: you didn't think he could. He's that kind of guy.

2271
01:58:50,280 --> 01:58:52,960
Speaker 3: He's a difference maker, and I think his presence there

2272
01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:55,440
Speaker 3: changes everything, particularly when he's at his best. And we

2273
01:58:55,480 --> 01:58:56,960
Speaker 3: don't know what kind of shape he's in. We're gonna

2274
01:58:56,960 --> 01:59:00,160
Speaker 3: get an update on that in the coming days, the

2275
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:03,880
Speaker 3: next couple of days, in fact, probably on Wednesday. He's

2276
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:06,160
Speaker 3: been practicing in his twenty one day window and he's

2277
01:59:06,200 --> 01:59:10,200
Speaker 3: been practicing full. Wasn't ready to play this last week

2278
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:13,840
Speaker 3: or before the bye, but he's had the entire week

2279
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:17,160
Speaker 3: off of being able to train and go hard, and

2280
01:59:17,320 --> 01:59:19,240
Speaker 3: now he's gonna have a full week of practice getting

2281
01:59:19,280 --> 01:59:23,960
Speaker 3: ready for this one. And not for nothing. It's not

2282
01:59:24,200 --> 01:59:27,360
Speaker 3: like he's been away, like he's not living in another state.

2283
01:59:27,760 --> 01:59:29,400
Speaker 3: While he's been he's been in the.

2284
01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:30,840
Speaker 2: Building, been traveling with the team.

2285
01:59:30,840 --> 01:59:33,040
Speaker 3: He's been traveling, he's been engaged, he's in meetings. He's

2286
01:59:33,040 --> 01:59:35,640
Speaker 3: having conversations with guys. It's like he has been playing

2287
01:59:35,680 --> 01:59:38,160
Speaker 3: but not having had the wear and tear on him

2288
01:59:38,880 --> 01:59:41,200
Speaker 3: and not getting the reps in front of him to

2289
01:59:41,320 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 3: help him get, you know, get better. He's had to

2290
01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:46,960
Speaker 3: get better just by watching and talking and listening to

2291
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:49,840
Speaker 3: other guys who are playing. It's which helps a lot.

2292
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:54,360
Speaker 3: He's a veteran. It's not gonna take him long to

2293
01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:57,680
Speaker 3: get up to speed. The question is is he gonna

2294
01:59:57,720 --> 02:00:01,520
Speaker 3: play well? Is he gonna get on the field. Is

2295
02:00:01,600 --> 02:00:03,560
Speaker 3: he back to his old self? That's what we do

2296
02:00:03,720 --> 02:00:05,800
Speaker 3: not know. Even if he's one hundred percent physically, is

2297
02:00:05,800 --> 02:00:10,560
Speaker 3: he going to be there mentally? I'm with Brownie. I

2298
02:00:10,560 --> 02:00:11,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't bet against him.

2299
02:00:12,680 --> 02:00:14,920
Speaker 2: Break time for us here when we come back. More

2300
02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:16,760
Speaker 2: of your phone calls and we'll try to crack open

2301
02:00:16,800 --> 02:00:19,280
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet as well as we're asking you after

2302
02:00:19,400 --> 02:00:21,840
Speaker 2: watching the rest of the AFC on the Bills bye week,

2303
02:00:21,880 --> 02:00:25,600
Speaker 2: where do the Bills fit in your AFC hierarchy? More

2304
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:27,560
Speaker 2: of your calls? Next here on one Bills Live on

2305
02:00:27,640 --> 02:00:47,360
Speaker 2: a Buffalo Football Monday. All right back here on one

2306
02:00:47,400 --> 02:00:49,160
Speaker 2: Bills Live, Chris Brown see you task you with you

2307
02:00:49,200 --> 02:00:52,000
Speaker 2: want a Buffalo Football Monday, asking you after you took

2308
02:00:52,040 --> 02:00:54,080
Speaker 2: in the rest of the league on the Bills by

2309
02:00:54,240 --> 02:00:56,320
Speaker 2: over the weekend and looked at the rest of the

2310
02:00:56,400 --> 02:00:58,480
Speaker 2: landscape in the AFC, where do you think the Bills

2311
02:00:58,480 --> 02:01:00,800
Speaker 2: fit and has your opinion changed? Eighth three h five

2312
02:01:00,880 --> 02:01:02,760
Speaker 2: fifty number to get on board one eight eight eight

2313
02:01:02,880 --> 02:01:05,880
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty. Let's go to Dennis in

2314
02:01:06,040 --> 02:01:09,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo next. What's up, Dennis, Hi.

2315
02:01:09,560 --> 02:01:12,960
Speaker 7: I'm just wondering what are the options or who do

2316
02:01:13,120 --> 02:01:16,680
Speaker 7: you suggest that the Bills are going to let go

2317
02:01:17,200 --> 02:01:20,640
Speaker 7: or cut when Melano comes back, when the third round

2318
02:01:20,760 --> 02:01:24,480
Speaker 7: draft Twuest comes off injured reserve and others? What what

2319
02:01:24,920 --> 02:01:28,280
Speaker 7: potential players are going to get cut?

2320
02:01:28,480 --> 02:01:29,360
Speaker 9: Could it be eat them?

2321
02:01:32,120 --> 02:01:33,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if it would be because you need

2322
02:01:33,840 --> 02:01:36,240
Speaker 2: depth at that position. I realized he was a healthy

2323
02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:39,640
Speaker 2: and active last week and that's probably why you're considering him.

2324
02:01:39,720 --> 02:01:44,040
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't anticipate that. I think you have to

2325
02:01:44,120 --> 02:01:47,240
Speaker 2: look at some of the players they have used, you know,

2326
02:01:47,320 --> 02:01:49,320
Speaker 2: at the back end of the roster to replace the

2327
02:01:49,400 --> 02:01:52,320
Speaker 2: depth of the position. You know, whether you're taught and look,

2328
02:01:52,400 --> 02:01:56,480
Speaker 2: we don't know, we're just speculating here, but you know

2329
02:01:56,600 --> 02:02:00,360
Speaker 2: at linebacker, is it a player like Nicholas Morrow who

2330
02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:03,120
Speaker 2: hasn't played a whole lot and has been largely relegated

2331
02:02:03,160 --> 02:02:06,400
Speaker 2: to special teams duty, is a veteran player, you know,

2332
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:09,520
Speaker 2: you would assume that, you know, players like Ulafochio and

2333
02:02:09,600 --> 02:02:12,840
Speaker 2: Andresen might stick around, being younger and more affordable on

2334
02:02:13,160 --> 02:02:18,400
Speaker 2: you know, lesser money contracts. Defensive line, you have to

2335
02:02:18,440 --> 02:02:20,400
Speaker 2: look at the players they brought in to replace the

2336
02:02:20,480 --> 02:02:24,160
Speaker 2: injured players. Smoot and Carter get injured, they bring in

2337
02:02:24,280 --> 02:02:27,880
Speaker 2: Jordan Phillips and Quentin Jefferson are one of those guys

2338
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:30,640
Speaker 2: removed from the roster and signed to the practice squad.

2339
02:02:30,720 --> 02:02:34,640
Speaker 2: Perhaps all of those are options that they have that

2340
02:02:34,760 --> 02:02:37,680
Speaker 2: they can utilize. I think in a rare circumstance, maybe

2341
02:02:37,720 --> 02:02:41,200
Speaker 2: if they feel they're uncommonly deep at a specific position,

2342
02:02:41,360 --> 02:02:44,120
Speaker 2: maybe they lop somebody off there and see if they

2343
02:02:44,160 --> 02:02:46,240
Speaker 2: can clear waivers and get them on the practice squad

2344
02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:50,440
Speaker 2: if they're willing to do that. But there's a myriad

2345
02:02:50,520 --> 02:02:54,480
Speaker 2: of options. Number one and then number two. Not all

2346
02:02:54,560 --> 02:02:56,480
Speaker 2: these guys are coming back at the same time, So

2347
02:02:56,600 --> 02:02:57,920
Speaker 2: you're like, wow, what are we going to do When

2348
02:02:57,920 --> 02:03:01,000
Speaker 2: Coleman comes back to the roster or well, actually he's

2349
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:03,040
Speaker 2: still on the roster. He didn't get removed, so you

2350
02:03:03,080 --> 02:03:05,440
Speaker 2: don't have to do anything with him. Carter and Smooth

2351
02:03:05,480 --> 02:03:07,960
Speaker 2: are different stories. They're both on injured reserve, so a

2352
02:03:08,040 --> 02:03:10,160
Speaker 2: roster spot will need to be craded for them. But

2353
02:03:10,720 --> 02:03:13,160
Speaker 2: I would look at the guys that replace them first

2354
02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:17,640
Speaker 2: and foremost as primary options to make the necessary move.

2355
02:03:18,080 --> 02:03:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it will first and foremost. They'll they'll do

2356
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:25,160
Speaker 3: it in a way. It'll be at the at the

2357
02:03:25,200 --> 02:03:27,760
Speaker 3: bottom of the roster, in the depth somewhere, and it'll

2358
02:03:27,840 --> 02:03:30,920
Speaker 3: be the guy that they believe they can still hang

2359
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:34,800
Speaker 3: on to. It will be a guy that they think

2360
02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:37,120
Speaker 3: they can either put on their practice squad or whatever,

2361
02:03:37,240 --> 02:03:39,520
Speaker 3: and won't. They won't. He won't go out the door

2362
02:03:39,600 --> 02:03:43,080
Speaker 3: with another team that'll have something to say for it too.

2363
02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:46,280
Speaker 3: None of us know the answers to that, and that's

2364
02:03:46,760 --> 02:03:50,400
Speaker 3: that's anot. That's probably the as much as it is

2365
02:03:50,520 --> 02:03:52,400
Speaker 3: with the positions and all that, I think they're set.

2366
02:03:52,600 --> 02:03:54,560
Speaker 3: I mean, they're gonna have a plan at every position.

2367
02:03:54,600 --> 02:03:56,360
Speaker 3: They're gonna go into the game with enough depth and

2368
02:03:56,400 --> 02:03:58,200
Speaker 3: all of that stuff. It's gonna be the bottom of

2369
02:03:58,200 --> 02:04:02,720
Speaker 3: the rosters. The inactives, the weekly inactives from someplace in there.

2370
02:04:03,280 --> 02:04:05,600
Speaker 3: You're going to find a guy who the Bills think

2371
02:04:05,880 --> 02:04:07,720
Speaker 3: that if they deactivate him or put him on their

2372
02:04:07,760 --> 02:04:10,440
Speaker 3: practice squad, he's not gonna leave. Nobody's gonna grab him.

2373
02:04:10,600 --> 02:04:12,960
Speaker 3: It'll be the most and I don't want to I'm

2374
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 3: not disrespecting any of the players on their active roster

2375
02:04:15,720 --> 02:04:18,120
Speaker 3: who may go to the practice squad, but it'll be

2376
02:04:18,200 --> 02:04:21,520
Speaker 3: a guy they don't want to leave, or I don't

2377
02:04:21,520 --> 02:04:25,000
Speaker 3: think anybody else will want. That's as much a part

2378
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:28,880
Speaker 3: of the equation as roster numbers and the position numbers.

2379
02:04:29,160 --> 02:04:33,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's kind of and look between now and then,

2380
02:04:34,280 --> 02:04:36,560
Speaker 2: somebody else might get hurt. Yeah, and then the spot's

2381
02:04:36,600 --> 02:04:40,120
Speaker 2: created for you. That's happened before, so don't rule that

2382
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:43,600
Speaker 2: out as a possible option either. Want to crack open

2383
02:04:44,120 --> 02:04:47,760
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet concerning after watching the rest of the

2384
02:04:47,800 --> 02:04:49,720
Speaker 2: AFC where do the Bills hit? Tweets? Sheet, brought to

2385
02:04:49,760 --> 02:04:51,960
Speaker 2: you by Corgan Moving Systems of the official equipment moving

2386
02:04:52,040 --> 02:04:55,120
Speaker 2: company of the Buffalo Bills, and Matt forty three says

2387
02:04:55,160 --> 02:04:57,080
Speaker 2: the way the Bills are currently playing and watching the

2388
02:04:57,160 --> 02:04:59,040
Speaker 2: rest of the conference, they are definitely a top two

2389
02:04:59,080 --> 02:05:01,880
Speaker 2: to three team and one of the favorites going forward.

2390
02:05:02,160 --> 02:05:04,480
Speaker 2: They're getting healthy and for the first time since August,

2391
02:05:04,520 --> 02:05:08,440
Speaker 2: they're looking at being the team McBean envisioned when building.

2392
02:05:10,120 --> 02:05:11,520
Speaker 2: I think that's a pretty fair assessment.

2393
02:05:12,800 --> 02:05:16,040
Speaker 3: We said it. This has still in that conversation, still

2394
02:05:16,080 --> 02:05:17,880
Speaker 3: got a chance to be the best team he's ever fielded.

2395
02:05:18,080 --> 02:05:21,880
Speaker 2: Yep. Connor says Buffalo is in a great spot. Casey

2396
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:23,800
Speaker 2: did not look great but still found a way to win.

2397
02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:25,920
Speaker 2: Miami is making a late season push and I think

2398
02:05:25,960 --> 02:05:28,560
Speaker 2: they are dangerous. Tonight's game is a big one for

2399
02:05:28,600 --> 02:05:30,560
Speaker 2: the whole AFC. If the Ravens win, I think they

2400
02:05:30,560 --> 02:05:33,640
Speaker 2: will have a chance to challenge Buffalo for the two seed. Yeah,

2401
02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:36,960
Speaker 2: because all they got to do is finish even with Buffalo,

2402
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:39,040
Speaker 2: and they have the head to head tiebreaker, so that's

2403
02:05:39,120 --> 02:05:42,080
Speaker 2: huge that That's why Buffalo wants to keep on keeping

2404
02:05:42,120 --> 02:05:44,160
Speaker 2: on with their victories, because you want to stay a

2405
02:05:44,240 --> 02:05:48,480
Speaker 2: game clear of Baltimore and Houston. Houston feels like less

2406
02:05:48,480 --> 02:05:50,800
Speaker 2: of a threat now than they were back in Week

2407
02:05:50,920 --> 02:05:54,760
Speaker 2: five in terms of outseating Buffalo in the postseason, so

2408
02:05:54,880 --> 02:05:57,920
Speaker 2: they're less of a concern. Baltimore, I think is still

2409
02:05:57,960 --> 02:06:00,480
Speaker 2: firmly a concern, although the Chargers could help them out tonight.

2410
02:06:01,920 --> 02:06:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with all of that, and I'm

2411
02:06:05,200 --> 02:06:08,600
Speaker 3: the game tonight is really interesting for a lot of reasons.

2412
02:06:09,920 --> 02:06:15,960
Speaker 3: Baltimore loses. I truly believe there's seasons teetering on the brink.

2413
02:06:16,480 --> 02:06:19,040
Speaker 3: And that's crazy because here's the thing. It's hard for

2414
02:06:19,080 --> 02:06:20,760
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills fans to say out here, and you think

2415
02:06:20,760 --> 02:06:22,600
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills are a better team than Baltimore because

2416
02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:26,400
Speaker 3: Baltimore handled them earlier in the season, I'll say it.

2417
02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:29,400
Speaker 3: The Bills are better right now. The Bills are a

2418
02:06:29,400 --> 02:06:34,920
Speaker 3: better football team right now. I don't fear that team,

2419
02:06:36,040 --> 02:06:38,400
Speaker 3: and I think that I said it earlier in the show.

2420
02:06:38,440 --> 02:06:40,720
Speaker 3: I don't know they're going to make the playoffs. That's

2421
02:06:40,760 --> 02:06:45,280
Speaker 3: a bold statement. But there's three losses that could look

2422
02:06:45,360 --> 02:06:47,680
Speaker 3: them in the eye before they got in this Tonight

2423
02:06:47,960 --> 02:06:50,000
Speaker 3: is and that's why tonight's a big game in my opinion,

2424
02:06:50,320 --> 02:06:54,240
Speaker 3: the break. If the Chargers beat the Ravens tonight, the

2425
02:06:54,400 --> 02:06:59,240
Speaker 3: Ravens then have to play Philadelphia. That that's three losses

2426
02:06:59,400 --> 02:07:01,680
Speaker 3: in a row in the second half of the season,

2427
02:07:03,160 --> 02:07:05,440
Speaker 3: not where you want to be right now. Then they'll

2428
02:07:05,480 --> 02:07:08,560
Speaker 3: go on their bye after a three game losing streak.

2429
02:07:08,560 --> 02:07:10,560
Speaker 3: They're on their by. You want to talk about wanting

2430
02:07:10,600 --> 02:07:14,440
Speaker 3: to puke on your shoes, that's it. So then they

2431
02:07:14,560 --> 02:07:16,400
Speaker 3: come back and they'll play the Giants and they'll think

2432
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:18,360
Speaker 3: and everybody will be like, Hey, that's awesome, it's gonna

2433
02:07:18,360 --> 02:07:20,640
Speaker 3: be great. Well, then they play the Pittsburgh Steelers again,

2434
02:07:22,360 --> 02:07:24,240
Speaker 3: and that was that's going to be a fist fight.

2435
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:28,680
Speaker 3: If they drop that game to the Steelers, they will

2436
02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:32,040
Speaker 3: be sitting at By that time, they'll be sitting at

2437
02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:37,000
Speaker 3: nine and seven, and.

2438
02:07:37,000 --> 02:07:39,000
Speaker 2: The best they can finish is obviously ten and seven.

2439
02:07:39,800 --> 02:07:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, not nine to seven, eight and seven. Oh,

2440
02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:47,120
Speaker 3: then they'll have Houston and Cleveland to finish the season.

2441
02:07:47,520 --> 02:07:51,880
Speaker 3: They'll be eight and seven after fifteen games. That's not

2442
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:52,440
Speaker 3: good enough.

2443
02:07:52,920 --> 02:07:57,600
Speaker 2: No, probably not a chem On the tweets, she says,

2444
02:07:57,640 --> 02:08:00,560
Speaker 2: it's all about matchups. The biggest three to the Bills

2445
02:08:00,600 --> 02:08:03,880
Speaker 2: in the AFC casey not included is the Ravens, Chargers,

2446
02:08:03,920 --> 02:08:07,200
Speaker 2: and Dolphins because of their commitment and ability to run

2447
02:08:07,720 --> 02:08:12,280
Speaker 2: the ball. Isn't it fascinating how much the run game

2448
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:17,120
Speaker 2: has worked its way back into successful football. I mean

2449
02:08:17,200 --> 02:08:20,560
Speaker 2: three years ago people were running it some teams were

2450
02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:23,960
Speaker 2: running at thirty five percent of the time. And it's,

2451
02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:26,840
Speaker 2: as we know, the league is cyclical in many ways,

2452
02:08:26,920 --> 02:08:30,040
Speaker 2: and it feels like it's swinging this is back that way.

2453
02:08:30,080 --> 02:08:33,280
Speaker 2: It's still a passing league, but it's swinging back towards

2454
02:08:33,320 --> 02:08:34,000
Speaker 2: running the football.

2455
02:08:34,080 --> 02:08:38,600
Speaker 3: I think fundamentally it made some sense because you had teams,

2456
02:08:38,640 --> 02:08:41,600
Speaker 3: and we've talked about it a lot. You got linebackers

2457
02:08:41,680 --> 02:08:45,560
Speaker 3: that are the size of corners, you know, I mean

2458
02:08:45,560 --> 02:08:48,120
Speaker 3: it used to be big corners. I mean, you've got

2459
02:08:48,200 --> 02:08:51,280
Speaker 3: linebackers that are the size of you know, strong safeties

2460
02:08:51,320 --> 02:08:53,760
Speaker 3: of yesteryear, you know, I mean you got their two

2461
02:08:53,840 --> 02:08:58,080
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty pounds. I mean mel mel Blunt was

2462
02:08:58,120 --> 02:09:01,880
Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty pounds sixty four corner and he's

2463
02:09:01,880 --> 02:09:08,360
Speaker 3: a linebacker now, right. So it's it's a difference, and

2464
02:09:08,520 --> 02:09:10,960
Speaker 3: I think teams now offensively are starting to make some

2465
02:09:11,120 --> 02:09:14,640
Speaker 3: personnel changes and some philosophical changes to take advantage of it.

2466
02:09:15,040 --> 02:09:17,800
Speaker 3: You've got a big, strong, physical offensive line, and you've

2467
02:09:17,800 --> 02:09:21,560
Speaker 3: got a guy like Ricard in Baltimore, three hundred pound

2468
02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:26,920
Speaker 3: full back, and a couple of big tight ends. Let's push,

2469
02:09:27,920 --> 02:09:30,920
Speaker 3: let's push and shove, and it works. You've got a

2470
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:33,480
Speaker 3: quarterback that can really run it. You got a running

2471
02:09:33,520 --> 02:09:36,280
Speaker 3: back that compliments him extremely well, and he can throw it,

2472
02:09:37,120 --> 02:09:40,840
Speaker 3: let's say, just at least just well enough. So I'm

2473
02:09:43,280 --> 02:09:46,760
Speaker 3: it's a philosophical decision that you make. And the Ravens

2474
02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:48,800
Speaker 3: went all in with Lamar. So they're going to hang

2475
02:09:48,840 --> 02:09:51,120
Speaker 3: in there with that. They're going to hang in there

2476
02:09:51,160 --> 02:09:54,240
Speaker 3: with it. When they drafted Lamar, they started they we

2477
02:09:54,360 --> 02:09:56,760
Speaker 3: saw it when they completely fundamentally changed the way they

2478
02:09:56,800 --> 02:10:00,480
Speaker 3: played football. They went from Joe Flacko. They went from

2479
02:10:00,560 --> 02:10:05,040
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco, who is a classic drop back from the

2480
02:10:05,120 --> 02:10:09,800
Speaker 3: pocket passer, to Lamar Jackson. And as a quarterback there

2481
02:10:09,840 --> 02:10:12,680
Speaker 3: is you couldn't get further on either end of the spectrum.

2482
02:10:13,680 --> 02:10:15,600
Speaker 2: Gary on the tweets, she says, the Bills look like

2483
02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:18,560
Speaker 2: the best team in the AFC currently. There are other

2484
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:20,400
Speaker 2: There are many other good teams and a lot of

2485
02:10:20,440 --> 02:10:23,160
Speaker 2: football to be played. I'm not trying to project too

2486
02:10:23,240 --> 02:10:25,120
Speaker 2: far down the road, but it appears the Lions are

2487
02:10:25,120 --> 02:10:27,680
Speaker 2: the only team I consider a true threat. However, the

2488
02:10:27,720 --> 02:10:32,000
Speaker 2: Bills will get healthier. Tom says, can't believe we lost

2489
02:10:32,040 --> 02:10:34,160
Speaker 2: to Houston. We know it will always be a close

2490
02:10:34,240 --> 02:10:38,120
Speaker 2: game against Case. Still unsure how we stack up against Baltimore. Well,

2491
02:10:38,200 --> 02:10:39,160
Speaker 2: Steve's already kind.

2492
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:39,320
Speaker 3: Of told you.

2493
02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:42,480
Speaker 2: Joseph says Bills are a top two team in the AFC.

2494
02:10:42,640 --> 02:10:44,440
Speaker 2: If they do their job and finish five and one

2495
02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:46,720
Speaker 2: out of the last six, they are the number one seed,

2496
02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:48,680
Speaker 2: get a second by within six weeks, and be the

2497
02:10:48,760 --> 02:10:51,720
Speaker 2: healthiest they've been going into the playoffs in the McDermott era.

2498
02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:55,240
Speaker 2: They get that super Bowl, here we come. They were

2499
02:10:55,320 --> 02:10:57,640
Speaker 2: very healthy in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one too.

2500
02:10:58,320 --> 02:11:00,240
Speaker 2: Let's not forget that they were the healthiest team in

2501
02:11:00,240 --> 02:11:00,800
Speaker 2: the league.

2502
02:11:00,560 --> 02:11:02,240
Speaker 3: Though, and that's when they got their best swing at

2503
02:11:02,280 --> 02:11:02,560
Speaker 3: it too.

2504
02:11:02,680 --> 02:11:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah forget. Paul says Bill's team has all the tools

2505
02:11:06,200 --> 02:11:07,680
Speaker 2: for a run at the super Bowl this year. They

2506
02:11:07,720 --> 02:11:09,960
Speaker 2: can beat any AFC team now and have the self

2507
02:11:10,040 --> 02:11:15,480
Speaker 2: control needed to win it all. Self control. I wonder

2508
02:11:15,520 --> 02:11:17,120
Speaker 2: what exactly he's getting at there.

2509
02:11:17,200 --> 02:11:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

2510
02:11:20,200 --> 02:11:22,839
Speaker 2: And then Steve says the Bills are in a great position.

2511
02:11:23,080 --> 02:11:26,080
Speaker 2: The buye was very timely, and it's possible to get Milano, Coleman,

2512
02:11:26,120 --> 02:11:29,160
Speaker 2: Spencer Brown, Carter Kincaid smooth and a much healthier Cooper

2513
02:11:29,240 --> 02:11:32,080
Speaker 2: and Samuel for the stretch run Let's go. When you

2514
02:11:32,200 --> 02:11:34,200
Speaker 2: see all those names in a row, you realize what
