It was unbelievable. 63 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: So I and Murph gave that last at all like that, 64 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: and I said, okay, now I'll start talking and say 65 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: it was that was the most im The biggest play 66 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: for this franchise in twenty five years was made by 67 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: Tarn Johnson the other night in that game against the 68 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. Without question, Yeah, the biggest play in twenty 69 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: five years, and and and good for him and bless 70 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: his heart for making it. It was a it was 71 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: an unbelievable play, and I've seen like twenty five angles 72 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: of it. It was. It was a crazy play. And 73 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: my view from the press box, I'm at the opposite end, 74 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: so this play is coming straight at us in the 75 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: press box. And when the when the game is that 76 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: far down the field, I go to my binoculars. I'm 77 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: watching everything through my binoculars when it's that far away, 78 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: because I'm in the upper corner of the tunnel end zone, 79 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: and I need the binoculars to see, you know, man 80 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: on man matchups, things like that. It's an ant pill. 81 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: It's so I'm following the ball through my binoculars and 82 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: I see the interception, and so I followed right to 83 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: Tarn and I said, oh my god, he he's gonna 84 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: kneel it because there were people around him right what 85 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: I thought I was. So he flinches like he's gonna 86 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: take a knee, and then he's like, no, there's green 87 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: grass over there. I'm gonna So I asked him after 88 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: the game, I said, were you get thinking about kneeling it? 89 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: He goes, That's exactly what I was thinking. I was 90 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: looking down after I caught it. I was like, oh, 91 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: take a knee. And then he saw all that green 92 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: grass out to the right side, so he thought he 93 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: could get there. And he said, I didn't think I 94 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: was gonna make it all the way because I knew 95 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: Lamar was back there. And he said, I know Lamar's 96 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: faster than me. But then I spot Dredevius coming up 97 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: on my right and I slowed down so he could 98 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: get in front of me to give me the block 99 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: that I needed to get all the way home. So 100 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: smart for let me take some smart football players make 101 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: plays like that, and that's why a culture matters. That's 102 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: the kind of guy you want in there. Tarn Johnson 103 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: and a lot it's been funny too. You know. They 104 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: tweet the meme out there that says how it started 105 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: and how it's going. There's a split screen and it 106 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: gives you a picture of the same people and then 107 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: later how it's going. Either good, seeing a lot of 108 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: those with the pandemic, right, either good or bad? Right, 109 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: Tarn Johnson, you remember was the kid at the combine 110 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: they got whacked in the head during one of the 111 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: ball drills. He didn't pick the ball up and was 112 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: trying to, you know, impress guys look the wrong as 113 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: bam right in the side of his head and it's 114 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: like why it was pretty embarrassing for him. Um, and 115 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: so now Lamar's Lamar's past didn't hit him in the head. 116 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: He ended up taking at the distance. So that's that 117 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: was one of those things about you see a kid, yeah, 118 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: come as far as he has and uh, it's it's 119 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: pretty gratifying. And Jordan Poyer broke that play down in 120 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: a postgame press conference, he was saying it was a 121 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: cover two call. He said, in his opinion, Lamar Jackson 122 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: looked confused on the play. And you know, I've never 123 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: been a quarterback in my life, but I gotta believe 124 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: if you're a little crossed up on a play like that, 125 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: are you, I mean, are you gonna try to make 126 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: a play anyway and chuck it in the end zone. 127 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 1: I don't know, like he was throwing this as a quarterback. 128 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: He's looking for Andrews there. Andrew's pivoted and was gonna 129 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: slide outside, and Lamar was gonna hit him on his 130 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: back shoulder as he slid outside, so it would have 131 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: been his inside shoulder, back to the center of the 132 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: field and away from the way he was moving. But 133 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: it was gonna be a pretty It was gonna be 134 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: a throw behind him. It looked like it was gonna 135 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: be good. But Tarn was coming from the outside in 136 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: as well. So uh, it's easy to see why Lamar 137 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: never saw him. But I was with you. I thought, okay, 138 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: catch it now, he's gonna go down perfect and he didn't. 139 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: And I was like, huh, and it like you know 140 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: that this all these these thoughts. You have take about 141 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: a half second before you think just just go, just go, 142 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: just go. And uh and I thought too that, uh 143 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: Tremaine or Tardavious. I thought Tardavius might trip him. They 144 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: came very close to the right angling legs right there 145 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: about the thirty five yard line, and uh, fantastic play. 146 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: And then of course there's a picture and I don't know, 147 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: I can't. I would like to give the photographer credit. 148 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: But there's a pick for now already up in the 149 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: Albright Knox Art Museum of Taren Johnson running with Tredavious 150 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: White in escort and Lamar Jackson in pursuit and Josh 151 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: Allen on the sidelines off the ground with his hands 152 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: in a touchdown motion. It's in the Albright Knox already 153 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: awesome display. And it was. It was a moment. Yeah, 154 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: you're right, it will undoubtedly. And Josh said this after 155 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: the game. He said, this was a franchise altering play. 156 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: This is a play that Bill's fans will remember forever. 157 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: Taren Johnson will come back to Buffalo as a fifty 158 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: five year old man, and people the first thing people 159 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: will say is one hundred one yard interception returned in 160 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: the divisional playoff against Baltimore that that he will forever 161 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: be linked to a large play in Bill's history. And 162 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: for the lucky sixty seven hundred fans that were there 163 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: that can say they saw it in purse and I mean, 164 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: that's that's pretty special. Men. You hear about the million 165 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: and a half Western New Yorkers that claimed they were 166 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: there from start to finish for the comeback game, right 167 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: there weren't that many there the whole game. The half 168 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: of them left at halftime. It's just one of those 169 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: other things that makes you think, too, what would have 170 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: what the whole joint. The joint was going nuts. It 171 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: was shaking with sixty seven hundred people, building was shaking. 172 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: There would have been structural damage had it been full. 173 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: I mean it was, it was. It was unbelievable moment 174 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: in the most incredibly intense part of the game when 175 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: it was critical. It was a critical moment in the 176 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: game and therefore a critical moment in the season and 177 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: in this season. It's an absolute critical moment in franchise history. 178 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: I mean, if they're going to take a step forward, 179 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: you know what's going to happen in this game and 180 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: to cap off a season like this one, and to 181 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: have him make that play, you could feel all of 182 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: it just spew out of everybod buddy, the emotion, the relief, 183 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: the joy, the it was absolutely unbelievable moment. And you know, 184 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: I make fun of the booth next to ours with 185 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: all those the executives and the owners, and listen, this 186 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: radio booth was no different. Murph murph both on and 187 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: I was I was fist. I was both here, you know, 188 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: and we were you know, the composed ones. And to 189 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: look down on the fans and just to wonder what 190 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: it would have been like had it been full, was 191 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: just a moment of no other. It was unbelievable. And 192 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: for Terren Johnson, you know, you think about the trajectory, 193 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: trajectory of his career. This is a guy that got 194 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: benched in week six, he lost his nickel corner job. 195 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: They replaced him in the lineup with Cam Lewis. Now 196 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: cam Lewis suffers a season ending wrist injury and Terren's 197 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: back in the game like a quarter and a half later. 198 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: But he was asked about that, and you know where 199 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: you were joking about those memes, you know where it 200 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: is and how it's going and all that, and he said, 201 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: I just took everything day by day. He goes, right, 202 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: That's been my best plan as a professional. Just take 203 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: it one day at a time, and that's what I did. 204 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: And I think he is a critical component of why 205 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: this defense was as successful as it was down the 206 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: stretch here the last five games of the season. I 207 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: don't think everybody fully understands the multifaceted role that the 208 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: nickel corner has to play in this defensive scheme, whether 209 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: it's interior run support, blitzing off the edge, obviously coverage, 210 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: but there are so many there's a myriad of responsibilities, 211 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: so many in fact, that when Taryn Johnson was a 212 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: rookie and he was competing for the nickel job, they 213 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: brought in the guy that used to play the position, 214 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: Leonard Johnson, who played it in twenty seventeen for this 215 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: team under McDermott in year one, and then he wanted 216 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: to get into coaching, but coach McDermott brought him in 217 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: to teach the guys that were potentially going to play 218 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: that position all of the responsibilities that are entailed within it. 219 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: And and I think he was even here this pass 220 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: training camp, Leonard Johnson was and tarn is a respected 221 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: teammate on that side of the ball. If you just 222 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: listened to his teammates talk about him, he is a 223 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: respected player, young player, but a respected player because of 224 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: how he goes about his daily business. You know. Yeah, 225 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: this he got benched at a time when the when 226 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: the defense was really struggling to find its way. I mean, 227 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: we think back when Milana was out of the lineup. 228 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: AJ Klein had been inserted in, and he was you know, 229 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: they were trying to figure out how to use him 230 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: and how how not to use aj Klein. The defensive 231 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: line had five new faces in an eight man rotation, 232 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: and I always count Harrison Phillips as a new face 233 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: because he didn't play in twenty nineteen. So he comes 234 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: back after missing all of that year, comes in and 235 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: he's new with three other new guys on that rotation, 236 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: and you know, so they were really struggling defensively in 237 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: the first half, well comparatively speaking, they were struggling defensively 238 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: in the first half of the season, and they were 239 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,599 Speaker 1: finding benching guys bringing guys up that we're looking for answers. 240 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: Trent Murphy started getting deactivated. Uh, you know, Aja Panezza 241 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: was not on the field. He was a healthy scratch 242 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: week after week early in the season. Finally now he's 243 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: back in um at Oliver looking for his you know, 244 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: looking for his second season legs under him, and how 245 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: to work with the two other guys that were rotating 246 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: in with him and Tremaine Edmonds trying to hold it 247 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: all together by him virtually by himself and uh at 248 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: least on the front seven. So they were struggling, and 249 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, Tarren was a part of that. To get 250 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: bench like that and then to come back, and you know, 251 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: that's you know, that's why you search for guys who've 252 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: got it, you know inside him to be better and 253 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: to improve and to overcome adversity instead of shrink or 254 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, give up. It's a real testament to how 255 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: this defense has evolved over just a short second half 256 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: of the season. It really is amazing, and I think 257 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: we would be remiss if we do not credit defensive 258 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: coordinator Leslie Frasier with a masterful game plan. And then 259 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: his players went out and that might be the best, 260 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: the best execution of a well designed game plan that 261 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: I have ever witnessed against a really good, unique style 262 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: of offense. I mean, this is not the kind of 263 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: offense NFL defense is ce every week unless you play 264 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: in the AFC North and you play the Ravens twice 265 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: a year. It is a big change. It is in 266 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: sharp contrast to anything else most NFL defenders see from 267 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: week to week. Yes, they played them fourteen months ago 268 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: when they were a similar version of what we saw 269 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: on Saturday night. But I'm sure in the course of 270 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: history in the NFL there have been hundreds thousands of 271 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: masterfully designed game plans, but I don't know if masterfully 272 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: designed and brilliantly executed come together even half of the time. 273 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: And this was those two things coming together on Saturday Night. 274 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: You hold any team to three points in the playoffs, 275 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: I mean that is rare, and to do it against 276 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: the team as hot as the Ravens were churning out 277 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: yards turning out points, it was just masterful job. You 278 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: got to tip your hat to the coaching staff number 279 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: one for drawing this thing up. Because Jerry Hughes said 280 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: it late in the week, We're not going to play 281 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: him the same way we did last year. We're gonna 282 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: have a different plan and everybody's like, I wonder what 283 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: the heck that's gonna look like? Look pretty damn good, 284 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: and kotos to the coaches holding that team to three points. 285 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: Nobody seriously thought that could happen. Nobody, nobody, and they 286 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: did it. They absolutely didn't and it took and Bliebee 287 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: Baltimore had a pretty good night offensively. They outplayed the 288 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills offensively, numbers wise, statistics wise. But in games 289 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: like this, we've said it a ton, it's about making 290 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: plays at the right time. Is that was a kind 291 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: of a stalemate that game. They missed two few goals, 292 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: the Bills missed one, and we could talk about the 293 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: win too, because it was unquestionably a factor in the game. 294 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: Sure was, and so it was. It was a very 295 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: tight game, and the Bills made more plays when it 296 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: counted and pull out the victory. Into the first half 297 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: Ravens with twenty minutes of possession time to Buffalo's ten. 298 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: Ravens converted half of their third down seven to fourteen. 299 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: They had three hundred forty total net yards, Bills had 300 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: only two hundred and twenty. The numbers that mattered, though, 301 00:16:53,480 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: were these Ravens over three in the red zone for 302 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: two in goal to go situations, and oh for two 303 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: on fourth downs. I mean, the defense really really stood tall. 304 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what you felt, Steve about the early 305 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: stages of that game. It almost felt like both teams 306 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: were really tight at the beginning of the game. Execution 307 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: was poor on both sides. I mean there were a 308 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: number of plays by both teams. The center snaps had 309 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: the center had problems for Baltimore snelling a ball, but 310 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: I mean you had you had a bunch of stuff, 311 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, Aj even like veteran players, a J. Klein 312 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: lines up off sides, gives them a first down after 313 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: they have a you know, a stop. I know everybody 314 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: talked about the Gabe Davis dropping the end zone. I 315 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: mean he had a guy draped on him. But yes, 316 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: you can make the argument that he should have been 317 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: a fantastic catch. Um Josh missed on a couple of throws. 318 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if Win was a factor there. I 319 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: was of the opinion that Josh was almost overhyped. We 320 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: we we had jacked up because there were a couple 321 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: of rocket balls out there where I was like, oh, 322 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: he might be so he might be too hyped for 323 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: this game stages. I thought got through some guys quick. 324 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: But I thought the I thought the wind was a 325 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: factor on the long ball as particularly because I thought 326 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: it was moving it around. You're saying down to the 327 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: tunnel end to do to the digs. I thought that 328 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: ball got moved around because he had another one the 329 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: other way that he threw over the wrong shoulder of 330 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis going towards the scoreboard end. He had him right, 331 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: Davis had him beat and he put it over the 332 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: wrong shoulder. That's the hard that's the hard throw to 333 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: make too and right, that's the tough end to throw 334 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: into down at that end. So I don't know. I 335 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: think the long ball was really affected. I'll tell you this, 336 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: the punting was completely transformed. I mean that you could 337 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: not all of those guys had a shank punt into 338 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: the wind. Yeah, and now Borke has had a couple 339 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: of punts he hit and it was when Net left 340 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: his foot. I thought, that looks perfect, and it landed 341 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: fifteen yards shorter that show it got no. I mean 342 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: you could see the wind actually push it and move 343 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: it even from the side. Yeah, I did. I mentioned 344 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: this on a radio interview over the weekend after the game. 345 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: Brian Mormon, who was a Pro Bowl punter here for 346 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: many years. I would often ask him about wind conditions 347 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: and stuff and how he has to adjust this, that 348 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: and the other. And he said, sometimes on the windiest 349 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: of days, when I dropped the ball to my foot, 350 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: which is essentially two and a half feet, he's you know, 351 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: he holds it out with an outstretched arm, drops it 352 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: out of his hand. He said, from that drop to 353 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: the time it gets to my foot on windy days, 354 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: there have been times where it has moved sideways six 355 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: inches between the time I dropped it out of my 356 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: hand and met it with my foot. So people ask, well, 357 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: how the heck do you shanka punt? But you know, 358 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,959 Speaker 1: I understand if it gets knocked down once it's up 359 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: in the wind, But how do you shanka punt? How 360 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: does that happen on a windy day? That's how it 361 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: happens here in Buffalo, because the ball will literally blow 362 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: the ball six inches sideways from where you dropped it. 363 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: Back in nineteen eighty five eighty six, Shaun Londetta completely 364 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: whiffed on a punt that was in Chicago in a 365 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: playoff game in Chicago complete. They whiffed. He dropped it 366 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: and it wasn't there when he swung his leg and 367 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: you know it's people are looking at him like what 368 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: are you crazy, and it's like, what are you gonna do? Yeah, 369 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: ball's not there, and it was. It started. There was 370 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: a time I think late in the game it started. 371 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: It was not as big a fact during the middle 372 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: of the game. Man, it was crusher And in fact, 373 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: the officials were having to stand on the ball at 374 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: the yard line when they put it on the HASHMA 375 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: and star rolling because the ball was rolling off the 376 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: field and they had to the kickoff. Guys needed a 377 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: holder on occasion as well. You know, I got to 378 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,239 Speaker 1: put his finger on top of the ball to keep 379 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: it on the tee. It was a factor. It was 380 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: most definitely a factor in this game. The other thing 381 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: that we need to get to as far as news 382 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: and notes go, the Charger's head coaching job is off 383 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: the table. Defensive coordinator for the Rams, Brandon Staley is 384 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: going to be the new head coach of the Chargers, 385 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: which probably takes the most likely head coaching destination for 386 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: Brian Dable off the table. There are two head coaching 387 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: jobs remaining because the anticipation is that Dan Campbell, the 388 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: assistant coach with the New Orleans Saints, after he completes 389 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: his exit interviews with the Saints who lost yesterday with 390 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: his players, will assume the head coaching job in Detroit. 391 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: So that basically leaves the Texans and the Eagles. And 392 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: we know that Leslie Frasier virtually interviewed with the Texans yesterday. 393 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 1: Eric b Enemy is reportedly doing an interview and this 394 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: might be the second interview for him with the Texans. 395 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: I'll have to double check that, but he is interviewing 396 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: with the Texans today. Brian Dable is said to be 397 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: on the list or is reported to be on the 398 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: list for the Eagles head coaching job, but to our knowledge, 399 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: no formal request has been made to set up an 400 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: interview time. And now, with this being Championship week, I 401 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: do know that NFL clubs have the opportunity to refuse 402 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: those interview requests if they're during this week as they 403 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: get ready for Championship Sunday. The other thing with regard 404 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: to the Texans, it's getting messi down there. There are 405 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: reports that Deshaun Watson is done with the Texans. Organization. 406 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: It has angered the fan base to the point where 407 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: they have threatened to stage a pro to Shaun Watson rally, 408 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: and Watson has since publicly requested that the Houston fans 409 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: do not do that due to the COVID risks involved 410 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: with something like that. He does not want to be 411 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:30,239 Speaker 1: associated with something that could cause further spread of the coronavirus, 412 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: so he is asking them not to do that. And 413 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: it has been reported widely that the Texans job is 414 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: now the least desirable in the NFL. And you can 415 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: certainly understand why with how things have gone so wrong 416 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: with a twenty five year old franchise quarterback. And if 417 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: it is irreparable, I think it will be very hard 418 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: for Houston to find a head coach. They ultimately will 419 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: find one, because there are again only thirty two of 420 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: these jobs in the NFL. I don't know if they're 421 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: going to get one of the top two people they 422 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: may want, not only because of the Deshaun Watson situation, 423 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: but the draft pick situation is poor. They don't have 424 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: a first round pick, they don't have a second round 425 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: pick this year. Their first pick is sixty seven in 426 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: round three, and they have a lot of holes to 427 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: fill and a cap situations that's not that pretty, and 428 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: a player who is beloved also in J. J. Watt, 429 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: who has a seventeen and a half million dollar price 430 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: tag on the cap. Next year he may be forced 431 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,479 Speaker 1: to trade him and Watson. Yeah, the two most beloved 432 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: players on the roster by the fan base gone and 433 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: you're the new head coach. You may have fun with that. Yeah, 434 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: you may be building with no materials. Fun with that. 435 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 1: On the other side of this um, you know, was 436 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: during the game the other night when Deshaun Watson went down. 437 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: This is UD talking about Patrick Mahomesshaun Watts. I'm sorry, 438 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Yeah, no, Lamar jack Lamar Jackson, I'm talking about. Sorry. 439 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in the game against Buffalo last night for 440 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens left with concussion, and Bill's Mafia, if 441 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: you haven't heard, began donating to his charity, as they 442 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: have done for other charities in the past. The list 443 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: is becoming kind of a get well soon kind of 444 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: We're eleven thousand. This is reported well from Blessings in 445 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: a Backpack. This is Lamar Jackson's charity, and this is 446 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: retweeted by John Olson. Eleven thousand, two hundred donations were 447 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: made over the last twenty four hours in honor of 448 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: Raven's quarterback Lamar Jackson. It totaled over two hundred and 449 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: ninety thousand dollars to feed kids in on weekends in school, 450 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: in public schools where they don't get any food like 451 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: a lot of kids. Yeah, there are a lot of 452 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: kids who the only meals they get are when they 453 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: go to school and get breakfast and lunch. And with 454 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: kids home and being virtually schooled, some are eating even less, 455 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: and schools are trying to provide meals that people can 456 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: pull up and get even if school is not in 457 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: session because of the pandemic. But yes, you're right, why 458 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's involved, He knows what a good cause it 459 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: is and the Bills Mafia in honor his game this 460 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: last weekend, I have donated two hundred and ninety thousand 461 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: dollars to that organization. Good for you, and that once 462 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: again Bill's fan base leaves other fan bases a gape 463 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: with admiration. Well, yeah, for the things that they do. 464 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: And it got to the point where even some of 465 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: the Ravens players, after the game, Like, for example, you know, 466 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey was saying, do Buffalo, what does Buffalo have 467 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,239 Speaker 1: anything to do with Buffalo Wings, Like he was just 468 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: ignorant to that fact. But a Bills fanite politely replied 469 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,719 Speaker 1: to him and basically said, yes they are. They were 470 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: invented here anchor bar you know, the whole four one one, 471 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: And then he very politely said, you know thirty one 472 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: twenty bills or you know, go bills or whatever. And 473 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: so afterwards, Marlon Humphrey, after the loss, he said he's 474 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: rooting for the Bills for the rest of the playoffs. 475 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: He says, they're a classy organization and this is a 476 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: direct quote. They've got a pretty good team and have 477 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: a pretty good shot to do it. And then he 478 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: finally finishes with I did not know Buffalo Wings came 479 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: from Buffalo. It makes sense. And I don't know if 480 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:11,719 Speaker 1: you audibly heard, but you could audibly hear the conversation 481 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: between John Harbaugh and Sean McDermott, two head coaches who 482 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: have coached together, coached together for I think it was 483 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: eight years in Philadelphia under Andy Reid, and you audibly 484 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: could hear John Harbaugh saying to Sean McDermott, I hope 485 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: you win the whole thing after the handshake after the game, 486 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: so you know, as as much credit as the Bills 487 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: are getting for being a classy organization and their fan 488 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: base for that matter, John Harbaugh is pretty classy too, 489 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: And I thought that was for a guy that's got 490 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: his own Super Bowl already. I thought that was a 491 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: really nice thing to extend to a coach McDermott right 492 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: after a game which was a bitter defeat for him, 493 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: when I think he feels and knows his team did 494 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: not play their best on Saturday. Now, some of that 495 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: was due to the fact of how well Buffalo played, 496 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: but there were a lot of self inflicted errors the 497 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: two snaps not include. I mean, the Ravens had five 498 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: fumbles in the game, Steve five. Miraculously they did not 499 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: lose one of any of them. But yeah, the Bill's 500 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: defense played at a level that like we saw the 501 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: offense played during the regular season. Every week they seemed 502 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: to be getting better. And that's a huge boost. Right now. 503 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: I know that everybody in Western New York and Bill's 504 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: fan base, and of course you and I were watching 505 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: the Browns play Kansas City Browns had a chance to 506 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: win that game. They really did a couple of obviously, 507 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: I mean they all they got a fumble safety for 508 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: a touchback that cost them a chance to get a touchdown, 509 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: if not get a touchdown in a game they lost 510 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: by five points. Mahomes went down with a concussion, which 511 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: and go ahead. There's an update on that go ahead. 512 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: It was just tweeted, sorry to interrupt, Steve, but Jay 513 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: just sent this along to us on the chat here 514 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: that to alert us. Carrington Harrison porter that covers the 515 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs said, a source has told me Patrick passed all 516 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: of his tests last night. He didn't actually hit his head. 517 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 1: There was a nerve in his neck that got tweaked 518 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: that put him out of it. He's getting testing done 519 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: on his neck slash nerve today, but did clear all 520 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: tests last night. And that makes a lot of sense 521 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: when you see how the play happened. His neck got 522 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: bent over, and I wonder if it's not all that 523 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: different Steve from a boxer getting that shut off nerve 524 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: when he gets hit with an uppercut and it just 525 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: shuts him off and he gets knocked out. I think 526 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: that's kind of what happened. To Patrick here with the 527 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: way he got his neck twisted. It wasn't a blow 528 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: to the head. That's the thing. And I was going 529 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: to say this too about Pat Mahomes and his injury. 530 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: I know we take it for granted. I know it's 531 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: a it's a rough tend. These guys sign up for 532 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: it and all of that, and you know, they're grown 533 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: men and they can take the risks that they know 534 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: they can that they know we're involved with the game 535 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: that they play. But you got to tip your hat 536 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: because that was for all of us washing them. That 537 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: was like kind of an innocuous hit. Certainly was physical 538 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: and it was fast and all that, but that's not 539 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: the old time. Wow, look at that hit. In fact, 540 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: you look for it and you couldn't, Like to your point, 541 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: you could never see his head get whacked like that. 542 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: He gets stuff like that. You got to tip your 543 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: hat to the risk these guys taken. For all the 544 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: all the naysayers out there who pooh pooh how soft 545 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: the NFL is, these guys are still playing as hard 546 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: as they can possibly play, and flukey stuff like that happens. 547 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: So all signs are pointing to Patrick Mahomes most likely 548 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: clearing concussion protocol, because this looks more like a pinch 549 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: nerve situation that shut off you know, messaging to his 550 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: brain equilibrium, all of those things. And I think we'm 551 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: not a doctor, but I think it sounds as though 552 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: we can liken it to when a boxer gets knocked out. 553 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: You know, you have that shut off nerve in your 554 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: jaw that goes right down your neck and basically shuts 555 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: everything off to your brain and you're out on your feet. 556 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: And I think this a similar thing happened to Mahomes 557 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: on that play, because at the very end he gets 558 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: his whole body is basically being dragged by his head 559 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: because guy's got him in a headlock, and his neck 560 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: is kind of craned down, his chin's touching his chest, 561 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: and so it probably just pinched a nerve and shut 562 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: it off, and so he tries to get up and row. 563 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: I never really thought that he would not play in 564 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: this game. And I know a lot of Bills fans are, 565 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we could you know, yeah, yeah, no, 566 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: none of that. Let let him, Let let him play. 567 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: It'll be all right. And I got more to say about, 568 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, this game and the Bills being in and 569 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: all that. We'll talk about that all week, but I 570 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: you know, Pat Mahomes deserves to play. If you can, 571 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: I'm I'm totally for it. We we have a Twitter 572 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: poll that we will get to.

Here. Championship Week 594 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: includes the Bills, and we're gonna lead off with Dave 595 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: and Tonawanda. Dave, what do you have for us? You're 596 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: on one Bills live WHOA congratulations on the Bills win. 597 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: I was just wanted to say the Bill's defense was 598 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: dented and but didn't break, and that the interception return 599 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: looked like it was actually like one hundred and two yards, 600 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: But that's you're here and you're there that that is true. 601 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: I would agree with you on called it one hundred 602 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: and two yards. I would have too. I thought he 603 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: was more than a yard. He caught a yard deep 604 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: and his momentum carried him to two yards deep when 605 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: he brought it out. So take your pick. We're splitting hairs. 606 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: But well, the reason why the yard was important, Steve, 607 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: is if it did count as one h two, it 608 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: would have been the record would have been the longest 609 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: in postseason history. Instead, it tied the record set by 610 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: Dallas safety George Tigue in the nineties. Once, say ninety 611 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: six was when it happened. I thought it was two 612 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: yards deep. It looks two yards to yeah, I would 613 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: I would have given it ever, you know, but it 614 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: was at the opposite end of the field for the statistician, 615 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: so maybe a hard read there for them called one 616 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: hundred and two. And I thought, yeah, that's I thought 617 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: that was Yeah, that's right on the money. It's exactly 618 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: what it was. I was kind of I was kind 619 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: of pleased with Murf because he's I thought, hey, you 620 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: nailed that. Also his his spot or mark uh tab 621 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: Taran right away knew were exactly who had picked it off. 622 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: And you know, down in that garbage, you can't you know, 623 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: all the blocks that couldn't tell. And Murf had the 624 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: call right away, and yeah it was I can't believe that, man, 625 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: It was so unbelievable. That was so unbelievable. That play 626 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: that that's gonna be arguably, I mean, no matter what 627 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: the Bills do from here or not, that's gonna be 628 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: one of the top ten plays in team history. Like right, 629 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: that's I mean, there's a lot of big plays, But 630 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: that's gonna be Give me a play that is that important, 631 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: Like maybe that the winning touchdown in the comeback game, right, 632 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: you know Christie's field goal. That a hard field goal, 633 00:33:54,720 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: but I mean it won the game, right again, friends 634 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: making play like that? I mean, and there might have 635 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: been some uh you know the playoff games. There is 636 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,439 Speaker 1: like you guys beat the beat the Raiders twenty nine 637 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: twenty three to go play the Chiefs in the last 638 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: UH conference championship game. Anybody have a big winning play 639 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: to put you up twenty nine twenty six there that 640 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,959 Speaker 1: you recall? Or was it a bunch of field goals 641 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: or I had a kick return down to the one 642 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 1: in that game? Yeah, when we were getting pushed around, 643 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 1: like you know, Jim Kelly in the season opener had 644 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown against the Dolphins. But that's regular season. 645 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: This one carries more gate, right that one in eighty 646 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: nine was pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good. Does this 647 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: carry more way because of the magnitude of the Yeah, 648 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: you advanced, you survive in advance, I'm hard pressed. You know, 649 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: the Carlton Bailey screen pass interception or the championship game 650 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: that was the only touchdown that's probably up there too. 651 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: That was seven game. Yeah, I mean that wasn't a 652 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 1: game winning play. I put the game away. Dan Johnson's 653 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: play put them up ten. I think that put the 654 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: Bills up ten zero, and the Broncos came back got 655 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: ten to seven, then had another drive at the end 656 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: of the game and Kirby Jackson forced to fumble and 657 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: recovered it himself to ice the game. Uh so it 658 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: proved to be the game winning score. Oh no, No, 659 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: the field goal did. Okay, yeah, I'll say that. How 660 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: about this one, Uh, Bills are playing the Oilers in 661 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,240 Speaker 1: the very first ever home playoff game in this stadium, 662 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: and your boy forced a fumble to ice the game 663 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: with on ernest On Curtis Duncan, former college tea. Yeah, 664 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: that was in a playoff game that Warren had just 665 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: gone down, got him within a touchdown. We had to 666 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: we had to punt it away to give it back 667 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: to him with two minutes and change left, and I 668 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: forced a fumble and we got that. That was a 669 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: play that and that's kind of you know, I hate 670 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: to say it, like Carlton Bailey, Arren Johnson, and it's 671 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: kind of like those kind of lists it's kind of 672 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: those plays, the kind of those players. It's not Jim 673 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: Kelly Thurman, Amasandre Reid and Bruce Smith. It's guys like me, 674 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: Carlton Bailey and Tarren Johnson, Nicol Corner, who's you know. 675 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 1: It's those kind of guys that are the most That's 676 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: why they're so unexpected. Yeah, you know what I mean. 677 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: It's an amazing play that Taren made it really to 678 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: run it that far? Well, it was funny because Kim 679 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: Jones from NFL Network was in the press box for 680 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: the game, traveled up for the game on Saturday night, 681 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: and she walks by me after like shortly after the play, 682 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: and she's like, what is Terren's forty times? She's like, 683 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: he looked like he was running really really really fast. 684 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: And I said, Kim, I hate to break it to 685 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: he ran a four or five at the combine. Yeah, 686 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: I said, I guess he plays faster than any times. 687 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: She goes, he looked four three there. I was like, well, 688 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was four to three, I said, 689 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: but he was moving. Um, it's hard when you're in 690 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: a when the adrenaline's pumping. Yeah, he's probably running faster 691 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: than four five. There here, here's what it's all about too. 692 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 1: And I get it if you're gonna if you're gonna 693 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: run a race and everybody, but in a game, nobody 694 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: starts from the same starting spot. Nobody's starting from the 695 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 1: same starting line. Nobody has the same distance to run, 696 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: and that's when the race is on. And if you 697 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: give a guy that's a four to five a five 698 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: yard head start, yeah it's three. Guy can't catch him 699 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,800 Speaker 1: spell well, especially when there's a blocker in front of you. Yeah, 700 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: I mean, that was probably the best decision he made, 701 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: allowing Tree Davious to get in front of him to 702 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: provide the block, because I think everybody knows in the 703 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,720 Speaker 1: building that Lamar Jackson's probably the fastest guy on the field. 704 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: So without that block, he doesn't get home. And then 705 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: who knows what happens? Smart enough to wait on Tray 706 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: to come in, you know, see you look at him. 707 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: He looked at help side of Tray and Trey knows 708 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: exactly what to do. Is awesome. And the funniest thing 709 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: was he looks over his right shoulder after he knows 710 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: he has the block on his left from Tredavis, to 711 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: see if anybody's hind him. Allen took credit for that. 712 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 1: He said, because in practice, every time he picks me off, 713 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: I always try to punch the ball out from behind. 714 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: So he was Josh trying to take credit for him 715 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: looking over his right shoulder. Thus, Tesnie, it's all. I 716 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: was hilarious right now. I'll say this. You know, I 717 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: was coming in today and everybody's like, oh my gosh, 718 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: we gotta wish we'd have played the Browns, I don't know. 719 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: And the reason they wanted a home game, I think that, Yeah, 720 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: that main impetus for that thought. And I'll say this, 721 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are a great football team. Pat Mahomes is 722 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 1: going to play and he deserves to play, and I 723 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: have no problem with that. Because here's the thing. The 724 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: Bills deserve to be in the AFC Championship Game. They 725 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 1: were the number two seed. They're the team that has 726 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 1: earned the right to be there, and there's a reason 727 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: for it, because they're that good. Yeah, people around the 728 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: country who either don't like the Chiefs or want somebody 729 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: new or whatever, the Bills are the team they wanted 730 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: to be in that because they thought the Bills had 731 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: a chance to beat these Chiefs and it's true they do. 732 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 1: They've got a good chance to beat that team. Certainly, 733 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to play their best, maybe a lot 734 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,879 Speaker 1: of ways better than they've played in the last two weeks. Yeah, 735 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: because there have been some missing parts from their performances 736 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: each of the last two weeks. But they're looking at 737 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: a team in the Kansas City Chiefs that struggled to 738 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 1: put away the Browns at home after being as fresh 739 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: as they could possibly be after a two and a 740 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: half week or maybe a three game lay a lot 741 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,879 Speaker 1: of their starters. It was three weeks because they didn't 742 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: play in week seventeen. So this is a game where 743 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: the Bills are going to roll in there and there. 744 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: The Bills are gonna have every reason and there, and 745 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: Bills fans should have every reason to believe they have 746 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: a chance to win it. Now, it's gonna take the 747 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,800 Speaker 1: pressures off. It's gonna write there's no pressure. Nobody's expecting 748 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: you to be. You're gonna have It's gonna take a 749 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: gargantuan effort, a perfect effort, and the Chiefs are gonna 750 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: have to You're gonna have to take advantage of some 751 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,360 Speaker 1: mistakes by the Chiefs, probably they're that good. But so 752 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 1: are the Buffalo Bills. And you'd be hard pressed to 753 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: find anybody who does not give the Bills a legitimate 754 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: shot or can formulate in their mind to scenario where 755 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: the Bills go in there and walk out with a win. So, 756 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: I know everybody's got a lot of angst about how 757 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: good Pat Mahomes is, and there should be. He's great, 758 00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: he's an MVP. But believe me, the Chiefs have but 759 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: respect for these guys coming in there. So it's gonna 760 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: be a fun game of enjoy the week. It's going 761 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: to be great. The pressure is off. This is further 762 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:13,479 Speaker 1: than the Bills. This goes past the expectations of even 763 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 1: the most ardent Bills fans. Yeah, right, the realistic expectations. Certainly, 764 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: there's always those, Hey, we're gonna go to the super 765 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: Bowl and win it, but you know you got to 766 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: formulate a plan to get there. The plan is in place, 767 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: and right now it is very easy to formulate a 768 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: path towards the Bills winning the Super Bowl, just like 769 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: it is for the Packers, the Bucks, and the Chiefs. 770 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: Of course, So for all the fans out there that 771 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: are have a lot of angst about Pat Mahomes and 772 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Listen, your team deserves to be on that field. 773 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: They earned it because they're really, really good. So take heart. 774 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: The bills are gonna go up, They're gonna show up, 775 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: and they're gonna play. Well, let's quickly go to Dick 776 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: in depew here on one Bills Live. What do you have, 777 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: Horace Dick? Well, first of all, your last callers still 778 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: under about one hundred and two yards. Now, all the 779 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: stuff that they have included Music City Miracle. They've got 780 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: all these camera angles, they got all this mathematics going 781 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: on and everything that was the camera behind the end 782 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: zone that saw that catch. I think it was one 783 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: hundred three yards? Can't they measured it? Well, I'll take 784 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 1: it a step further, Dick, in terms of the technology. 785 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: They got those little tracker packs in the back of 786 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: everybody's jersey. Now you know all the next gen stats 787 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: you hear about now, and how fast this guy ran, 788 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: and how far the you know the guy, what how 789 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: much separation he had from the nearest defender. That's because 790 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: they all have tracking devices in their jerseys now, so 791 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: you could know exactly where he was based on that 792 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: tracking device, whether he was two yards or three yards 793 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: deep in the end zone when he caught the ball. 794 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't aware of that. And I just want to 795 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: make one comment and let somebody else call Super Bowl 796 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 1: era from Super Bowl one, the Super Bowl twenty five, 797 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: the Bills made it to the siber Bowl. He was 798 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: in Tampa. Now it's twenty five years since we won 799 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: our last division title and became as in Tampa. Think 800 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: about it, Yeah, Rod Sterling the Twilight, appreciate it. I've 801 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: thought about that a million times. We just want a 802 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: different ending. That's the only that's the only change. How 803 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: about this too, going down and playing in the Super 804 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,839 Speaker 1: Bowl against Tom Brady. Yeah, that that was talked about 805 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: in my house. Yes, and they would have. They would 806 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: be They would be the first Super Bowl in which 807 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,800 Speaker 1: one of the teams is actually in their home stadium. 808 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: And of course for Bills fans and the organization here, 809 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: you would be playing against a guy who has tormented 810 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: you for two decades, who you just got rid of, 811 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 1: and now to come finally come back, and you want 812 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 1: to talk about slaying all the dragons and getting all 813 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: the skeletons out of your closet. Being here in that game, 814 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: that would do it. That would do it.

Chris Brown Steve 829 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 1: Tasker on a Bills victory Monday, as the Bills have 830 00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: reached the final four championship weekend for the AFC and 831 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: the NFC Bills In case you haven't heard, six forty 832 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 1: pm kickoff Sunday at Arrowhead and Steve and I were 833 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: discussing the pressure is unquestionably off the Bills as they 834 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,879 Speaker 1: faced the defending Super Bowl champs and the top seed 835 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: in the AFC. I think, knowing the Chiefs are at 836 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: home and all of that, I think the Chiefs are 837 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,359 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly expected to win the game. So the Bills, I think, 838 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: can just let it all hang out and play loose 839 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: and hopefully that will be the case. On Sunday, we 840 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 1: do want to get back to the phones quickly because 841 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: we're a little short on time. We go to Bob 842 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: in Hamburg. Bob, what do you have for us? You're 843 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 1: on one Bills Live. Happy Monday, guys, Happy Monday. Indeed, yeah, 844 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 1: I would be lying if I didn't say I was 845 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: really worried about going into this game that the Bills 846 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 1: are gonna win. But the defensive game plan by Leslie 847 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 1: Fraser and Sean McDermott was nothing less than incredible and 848 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: the execution was even better. I mean, they contained the 849 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 1: run and JA and made them, uh, made Jackson have 850 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: to force to Row to beat them, and he wasn't 851 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 1: able to do that. And to agree with Steve, I 852 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 1: want my homes on the field because if you want 853 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: to be the best, you gotta beat the best. Thanks guys, 854 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: all right, Rick Flair, we appreciate the call. Now what 855 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: I prey the best? I gotta beat the best. Whoa 856 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 1: I'm with. There's a lot of people say, man, it'd 857 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: be great if my Mahomes didn't play. You know, it 858 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I mean, certainly he's a great player in 859 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: all but you gotta play. You're gonna play. You gotta play, 860 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:39,399 Speaker 1: and you may as well play him too. Certainly they'd 861 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,480 Speaker 1: be easier to beat without Mahomes, you would think, but 862 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, they're no guarantees. You gotta go out and play, 863 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: and you're gonna you're good enough to be there. Why 864 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 1: you're ducking And all of a sudden, now you won. 865 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 1: He won fifteen games in a season, fifteen ties, which 866 00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: ties the club record. So just go and play. It 867 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if Patrick Mahomes was playing or Lenny Dawson 868 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 1: is playing. Just go play, you know, and and and 869 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,560 Speaker 1: feel confident either way you're gonna have to. You can. 870 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 1: With Pat Mahomes you can beat him, and without Pat 871 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 1: Mahomes you can beat him. You gotta go play your game. 872 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:23,439 Speaker 1: It's not about them, so just um, yeah, don't worry 873 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: about them. Just get your guys healthy and run your 874 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 1: game plan. Um, I want to see our offense play 875 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,839 Speaker 1: better than just played in the last couple of years. 876 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,319 Speaker 1: That would that would be welcome. Although you know, they 877 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: did come up with twenty seven points in the first game, 878 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 1: although not all of those points were were all those 879 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,399 Speaker 1: points on offense in the Colts game. These games are 880 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 1: blending together for me. Now I want to say yes, 881 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, there was no defensive touchdown in 882 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,919 Speaker 1: that game. I don't no, no, because because the Colts 883 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 1: didn't turn the ball over. That's right. Okay, back to 884 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 1: the phone, Steve in Virginia. Steve, what do you have 885 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 1: for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, gentlemen, thank 886 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: you for taking my calls. Sure, sure, I mean I noticed, um, 887 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 1: this past game the Bills seemed to struggle on offense 888 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 1: and special teams due to the weather. Also the elements. 889 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 1: I notice Alan and Singletary slipped and I wanted to 890 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:15,840 Speaker 1: get a Steeves opinion. Just I know back um, you know, 891 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 1: during the Super Bowl era, it seemed like teams did 892 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,800 Speaker 1: not want to come to Buffalo into Sunburn January because 893 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 1: one of the elements and to the Bills knew how 894 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 1: to play in those elements, and I wanted to know 895 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 1: how long did it take for the Bills team back 896 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 1: then to adjust and get to master the elements, and 897 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 1: what can the current Bills group do to do better, 898 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, playing in the wind and the snow, you 899 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,840 Speaker 1: know at the Ralph Well, I'll tell you that the 900 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: cold and the snow is not as big a deal 901 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,920 Speaker 1: as people might think it is. The wind is a 902 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: real problem, U that's the and I think that was 903 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,439 Speaker 1: the real problem this last Saturday night. The Bills really 904 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: and so did the Ravens really struggled with the wind. 905 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 1: The kicking game was was you know, reeked havoc with 906 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,879 Speaker 1: the kicking game and also some of the snaps as well. 907 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 1: It's it's an issue, but the cold and the wind, 908 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 1: the cold and the snow is not a big deal. 909 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 1: Wet weather is a little bit sometimes of a problem 910 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: because of the surface but slipping. But you know, I 911 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,839 Speaker 1: don't know why people think it's an advantage for one 912 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,840 Speaker 1: team and not the other because both teams are playing 913 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:27,279 Speaker 1: in the same weather obviously, so football is really hard 914 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 1: and I get it too. Some people think I want 915 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 1: to see the game in perfect conditions. So we can 916 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: see the best of these teams have to offer. Well, 917 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 1: it's hard in the playoffs, whether you're whether you're playing 918 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,280 Speaker 1: in perfect conditions or not, adding one level of degree 919 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: of difficulty. That is absolutely the same for both teams. 920 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it and living it. 921 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: And as for the one team handling it better than 922 00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 1: the other, the team that lives here in Buffalo, and 923 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna play here in Buffalo. When you live here, 924 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,879 Speaker 1: work in it, it's not a shock when you take 925 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 1: the field. You practice in it, you live in it, 926 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,359 Speaker 1: you go about your daily routine in it. Every time 927 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 1: you go outside, you're in it. You're you're ready for it. 928 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: You have a chance to experiment with different uniform combinations, 929 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 1: glove combinations, you know, tape combinations. How to handle the 930 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: ball is what it means when you've got this kind 931 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,400 Speaker 1: of clothing on and that kind of clothing on, is 932 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 1: the ball handling better or worse. You get a chance 933 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: to experiment with it and you feel more confident on 934 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 1: game day. Whereas a team from La or Arizona, or 935 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 1: Texas or Florida, they come up here and they it's 936 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 1: they get one shot at it. Yeah, but it was 937 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 1: just as new to the Bills players on this roster 938 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,319 Speaker 1: as it was the visiting teams because they haven't had 939 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 1: a lot of home playoff games here, haven't had any, 940 00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 1: so it was just as new to them, which is 941 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: probably why it wasn't maybe as big of an advantage 942 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: as it was for a lot of Steve's teams that 943 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: had done it year over year and had to become 944 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 1: accustomed to what the conditions were going to be like, 945 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,400 Speaker 1: not to mention the fact that you had a rookie 946 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:58,360 Speaker 1: kicker who's still learning the conditions of the stadium as well, 947 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,439 Speaker 1: So there was that too. And you know Arrowhead where 948 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: they're going to play this weekend. I don't at least, 949 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 1: and you can tell me, Steve, because since you've actually 950 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 1: played games there. But I don't get the sense that 951 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,319 Speaker 1: the wind operates the way it does here because that 952 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,360 Speaker 1: stadium is a very tall stadium on all four sides. 953 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,360 Speaker 1: There is no open end. What are the wind conditions 954 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: like there? It's not dug out of a bowl. It's 955 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,320 Speaker 1: up now, it's up high, it's on lands. The field 956 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 1: is feet is ground level, maybe a little down but 957 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: not much much. And the field is it's a double 958 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 1: deck stadium all the way around, so it is a 959 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 1: much more of a bowl setting than it is than 960 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: this stadium is here. And I don't remember the wind 961 00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:40,160 Speaker 1: being an issue in there ever. It's cold, yeah, but 962 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,319 Speaker 1: it's enclosed. Yeah, it's almost why it's so loud. Yeah, 963 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 1: you're almost playing in a in a big phone booth. 964 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,759 Speaker 1: It's so tall, you know, so the wind has a 965 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: hard time tumbling in there and affecting anything. At least 966 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,719 Speaker 1: that's the way I remember it. Yeah, But yeah, this 967 00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 1: the surface may be a bigger issue and a bigger 968 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,279 Speaker 1: concern that. You know, it's a natural grass surface and 969 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,319 Speaker 1: it's late in the year there as well as you know, 970 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 1: So I don't think that I didn't notice any issues 971 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 1: with footing in the Browns Chiefs game this last weekends, 972 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 1: you know, yesterday, So uh yeah, I'm auditions should be 973 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,800 Speaker 1: a little more manageable there, conditions, and it's grass not turf, 974 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: you know. Different these teams, both these teams are built 975 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 1: the same two. They got a quarterback that slings it, 976 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,400 Speaker 1: so they're both going to be affected almost identically. Break 977 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,239 Speaker 1: time for us, but when we come back, we have 978 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,959 Speaker 1: won eric Wood to discuss Saturday night's game and maybe 979 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 1: a little bit about what can be expected in the 980 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,160 Speaker 1: rematch from week six with the Chiefs. Head coach Andy 981 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,399 Speaker 1: Reid for the Chiefs, by the way, conducting a press 982 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: conference with the media as we speak, he did confirm 983 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is in concussion protocol. His quote, we'll see 984 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,720 Speaker 1: how he does the next couple of days. End quote. 985 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,720 Speaker 1: Back with more including Eric Wood here on one Bill's 986 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,839 Speaker 1: Live presented by a lot of health It's Buffalo Bills 987 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 1: Radiofalo Bills Radio Network, Sports Date or a sports update. 988 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: The Bills are heading to Kansas City for the AFC Championship. 989 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 1: That was determined following the Chiefs twenty two seventeen went 990 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 1: over the Browns on Sunday. In the win, KC lost 991 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 1: quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter. He's currently in 992 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 1: the concussion protocol. Head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Mahomes 993 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,919 Speaker 1: is dealing with that and said, quote, we'll see how 994 00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 1: he does the next couple of days.

There 995 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,840 Speaker 1: is a report out of CBS sports affiliate in Kansas City. 996 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,160 Speaker 1: Carrington Harrison, the reporter there, says a source inside the 997 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 1: organization has revealed that Mahomes passed all of his tests 998 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: after the game. Per the report, Mahomes didn't actually hit 999 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 1: his head. Rather, Mahomes tweaked a nerve in his neck 1000 00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 1: that made him quote out of it. He had subsequent 1001 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,800 Speaker 1: tests done on his neck and the nerve and passed 1002 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,680 Speaker 1: all of those as well. Again, that's a CBS sports 1003 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,719 Speaker 1: report out of Kansas City's affiliate station there. Last night, 1004 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,840 Speaker 1: it was the Bucks and Tom Brady advancing in the 1005 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 1: NFC as Tampa advanced with a thirty to twenty win 1006 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 1: over the Saints. They will now face the Packers on Sunday. 1007 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 1: They're a win away from a true home game in 1008 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, as Tampa is the site of Super 1009 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 1: Bowl fifty five. Head coaching news around the NFL. Now 1010 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 1: that the Saints have been eliminated from the NFL postseason, 1011 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,799 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions are expected to hire Saints assistant head 1012 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 1: coach and tight ends coach Dan Campbell as their next 1013 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 1: sideline boss. The LA Chargers have decided on their new 1014 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,960 Speaker 1: head coach, and they didn't even have to leave their 1015 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 1: home stadium to find them. The Chargers are hiring Rams 1016 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. Thirty eight year old Staley ascends 1017 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: to the head of the Charger's staff after just one 1018 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,480 Speaker 1: season with the Rams, a campaign in which he coordinated 1019 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,760 Speaker 1: the league's number one defense in the twenty twenty regular season. 1020 00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: Texans still looking to fill their head coaching vacancy, they 1021 00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:09,279 Speaker 1: interviewed Bill's defensive coordinator Leslie Frasier on Sunday, and now 1022 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 1: there are reports they are interviewing Kansas City offensive coordinator 1023 00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 1: Eric b Enemy. Today, it's just the Texans and Eagles 1024 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,439 Speaker 1: who will remain who still remain without head coaches as 1025 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,359 Speaker 1: of today. That is your sports update Chris Brown. Steve 1026 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 1: Tasker our number two of the program and joining us 1027 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,360 Speaker 1: now as he does every Monday, is former Bills center 1028 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: and Bill's analyst on the Bills Tonight program after every 1029 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:37,080 Speaker 1: Bill's game, and also does some chopping Wood with Steve 1030 00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,879 Speaker 1: Tasker on the Sean McDermot Show. It is one Eric 1031 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 1: Wood joining us. Eric, How you doing, guy? Pretty happy 1032 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 1: after that performance? Right? Oh? Yeah, that was a great one. 1033 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:50,040 Speaker 1: Tons of fun and you really I don't know, I'm 1034 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 1: sure you can probably come up with examples, Eric, But 1035 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 1: as masterful as a game plan as it was for 1036 00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 1: that defense, it was just as masterfully executed, I know 1037 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 1: It probably doesn't come together that perfectly very often in 1038 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 1: the NFL, knowing the level of talent that each team 1039 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 1: goes up against every week. But I have to believe 1040 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,360 Speaker 1: even you would be hard pressed to find a better 1041 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,719 Speaker 1: marriage of the two game plan and execution. Right, Yeah, 1042 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,319 Speaker 1: that's fair. And you know what was interesting to me 1043 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,359 Speaker 1: is the Ravens came out and ran the ball right 1044 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 1: down the Bill's throat. I mean forty five yards rushing 1045 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,839 Speaker 1: on the first drive, with the running backs primarily just 1046 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,320 Speaker 1: right at them. I don't know if they were focused 1047 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,640 Speaker 1: a little bit too much on Lamar Jackson, if Greg 1048 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,880 Speaker 1: Roman knew that, hey, the game plan is going to 1049 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,359 Speaker 1: be at the takeaway, Lamar make the running backs beat us. 1050 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 1: So Greg said, look, we're just gonna run running backs 1051 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 1: over and over and over. Then the Bills extend the 1052 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 1: drive after they stuffed the qb sneak by lining up offsides, 1053 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,359 Speaker 1: but then they were able to back up the field goal. 1054 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 1: The wins whatever else made it tough on the kickers. 1055 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,400 Speaker 1: Saturday night, he misses a field goal, and ever since 1056 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,839 Speaker 1: that drive, the Bills clamped down on the Ravens. It 1057 00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 1: was tough for them to do anything. The rest of 1058 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: the way mentioned forty five yards rushing on the first drive, 1059 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 1: only one hundred and fifty for the game for a 1060 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,240 Speaker 1: team that in the last five weeks of the regular 1061 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,279 Speaker 1: season set a NFL record for most rushing yards over 1062 00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,239 Speaker 1: a five game stretch. Yeah, I thought the defense. It 1063 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 1: was obviously the story of the game. It's hard to 1064 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 1: win a playoff game with three points on the board 1065 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 1: as an offense or as any team, And certainly if 1066 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,280 Speaker 1: you'd have known that going in, I mean, goodness, gracious, 1067 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 1: this is a defense that really has gotten better. And 1068 00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 1: as much as we said the offense played better and 1069 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,240 Speaker 1: better throughout the week every week in the regular season, 1070 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: this defense has done that over the last month and 1071 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,400 Speaker 1: a half, where every week they seem to be playing 1072 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,920 Speaker 1: better and better and also making more and more timely 1073 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 1: plays as well. But their ability to shut down the 1074 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 1: Ravens offense after that first drive was pretty astounding for 1075 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,840 Speaker 1: a team of that caliber. Yeah, you're exactly right, and 1076 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,759 Speaker 1: to your points, Steve Weeks twelve through seventeen of the 1077 00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,319 Speaker 1: regular season, the Bill's defense was dominant top five top 1078 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,240 Speaker 1: six in most of the important categories third downs, points, yards, 1079 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,759 Speaker 1: rushing yards given up a game, you know, you look 1080 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 1: at all those top five or top six in almost 1081 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 1: all those categories takeaways as well. And so while the 1082 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 1: Bills were blowing out teams at the end of the season, 1083 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 1: you know, double digit victory after double digit victory, the 1084 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,440 Speaker 1: offense was continue to getting the praise because you know, 1085 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,959 Speaker 1: they're in a franchise record setting season in so many 1086 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,800 Speaker 1: categories that yes, the offense continue to get the attention, 1087 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,680 Speaker 1: but the defense was quietly getting back to their twenty 1088 00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,320 Speaker 1: nineteen form as they got healthier, as they jelled together, 1089 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,480 Speaker 1: and it was on display Saturday Night against the Ravens. 1090 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 1: And it's amazing what the Bills have done to this 1091 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,920 Speaker 1: Ravens offense two years in a row. They didn't get 1092 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 1: the victory in twenty nineteen, but in twenty nineteen they 1093 00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 1: hold Lamar Jackson under two hundred yards of total offense, 1094 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,360 Speaker 1: and they do it against Saturday Night. Absolutely remarkable. And 1095 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 1: then anytime the defense can score, your chances of winning 1096 00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 1: a game go up so much percentage wise, and it 1097 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 1: allows you to do different things offensively when your defense 1098 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 1: is playing like that, And people will talk about how 1099 00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,360 Speaker 1: the offense maybe had a bad night on Saturday, and 1100 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 1: you know, they didn't have their best night, we'll say, 1101 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 1: but they did not turn the ball over, they didn't 1102 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 1: go backwards much, and then they also didn't have to 1103 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 1: be be that aggressive. When your defense is playing like that, 1104 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,360 Speaker 1: it's simply don't make the big mistake football. And I 1105 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 1: thought one of the best things the offense did through 1106 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:29,919 Speaker 1: two weeks zero turnovers. In the National Football League, that 1107 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:34,440 Speaker 1: makes a huge difference. What do you think, Eric, I 1108 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 1: know we talked to you about this last week after 1109 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:42,120 Speaker 1: what we probably considered a less than the standard type 1110 00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,800 Speaker 1: performance from this defense in light of how hot they 1111 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,400 Speaker 1: were coming down the stretch against the Colts. I know 1112 00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,600 Speaker 1: we asked you about this specifically, having you know, played 1113 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,200 Speaker 1: under coach McDermott yourself. You know, I think I posed 1114 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,680 Speaker 1: it that there aren't too many other coaches in the 1115 00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:00,720 Speaker 1: league with a staff that's better at course erecting a 1116 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 1: team when there's something that is deficient on the field, 1117 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,400 Speaker 1: and we saw that with this defense just a week 1118 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 1: prior with the Colts, and they went to work to 1119 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,520 Speaker 1: fix it, and my god, did they fix it. I 1120 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,920 Speaker 1: know you said that the offense didn't play poorly, but 1121 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 1: I think they felt they left some plays on the 1122 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,640 Speaker 1: field and probably didn't take full advantage of all the 1123 00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 1: opportunities they had this past week against the Ravens. Do 1124 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,280 Speaker 1: you think they can do the same kind of course 1125 00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:30,640 Speaker 1: correction with the offense going into this week's game, Chris, 1126 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 1: I'll give you credit. You've said those words last week 1127 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,400 Speaker 1: and I went along with it and I believed it too. 1128 00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 1: But you were spot on last week. I mean, to 1129 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,320 Speaker 1: bounce back in the way they did, and the course 1130 00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,000 Speaker 1: correction defensively was they brought a lot more pressure. You know, 1131 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 1: they blitzed a lot more in obvious past situations without 1132 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:53,920 Speaker 1: bringing seven defenders, without all out blitzing. They schemed great 1133 00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 1: pressures against the Ravens. And so yes, I'm hoping Chris, 1134 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:04,000 Speaker 1: that your core correction mentality predictions ring true again this week. 1135 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 1: And I'll say this, you know, a lot of the 1136 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,960 Speaker 1: games that the Bills lit up the scoreboard, they were 1137 01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,480 Speaker 1: able to make plays down the field. That does two things. 1138 01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 1: That opens up the underneath stuff and it also obviously 1139 01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 1: puts points on the board. When you're playing with the 1140 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 1: wind the way it was the other night, it makes 1141 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 1: it tough to make those plays down the field. And 1142 01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:26,520 Speaker 1: it was interesting, you know, with Don Martindale last year, 1143 01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,400 Speaker 1: blitz and the Bills like crazy, and we mentioned all 1144 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 1: the cover zero blitz is sixteen of them last year, 1145 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,920 Speaker 1: but they pressured on fifty seven percent of snaps or something. Well, 1146 01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,560 Speaker 1: then you look at this season. They lead the league 1147 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 1: in blitz percentage and they cooled their jets against the Bills. 1148 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you want to talk about respect for a 1149 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 1: quarterback and a receiver group. When you abandon everything you 1150 01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:52,720 Speaker 1: philosophy philosophically do as a defensive coordinator and you abandon 1151 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,600 Speaker 1: it all and you had so much success to one 1152 01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 1: it the other way of the year before, I mean, 1153 01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 1: that is an ultimate sign of resp Back to my book, yeah, 1154 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,000 Speaker 1: I would agree with you. Do you what do you think? 1155 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 1: And I think back to you, we're getting your career 1156 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:06,840 Speaker 1: when you first got to Buffalo, all the way through 1157 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,800 Speaker 1: the present time and any time that you can remember, 1158 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,880 Speaker 1: we have been talking about. Have you ever seen or 1159 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,200 Speaker 1: had a play happen in a game that was more 1160 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 1: franchise transforming than the Tarren Johnson one hundred and one 1161 01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,320 Speaker 1: yard pick six. I mean, I I've been We've been 1162 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,720 Speaker 1: hard pressed to think of a more important play in 1163 01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 1: the last certainly the last twenty five years than that one. No, 1164 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 1: because I never played in a moment like that. You know, 1165 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 1: I could joke around and say, maybe Kyle Williams touchdown 1166 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,760 Speaker 1: down to Miami where we all did the bomb explosion 1167 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 1: afterwards unplanned, just knowing that after the game we broke 1168 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,560 Speaker 1: the seventeen year a playoff draught. You know, it could 1169 01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 1: be something along those lines, you know. I remember back 1170 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,600 Speaker 1: one of the biggest moments to me just thinking of 1171 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,440 Speaker 1: a pick six moment would be when we started the 1172 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 1: season three and zero in twenty eleven and Trayton Florence 1173 01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:02,160 Speaker 1: had that interception touchdown again the Patriots after ourselves batted 1174 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 1: the ball up in the air. I mean, I could 1175 01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 1: think back to moments like that, but during my nine 1176 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,480 Speaker 1: years with the Bills, we just never had any moments 1177 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 1: this big. We never played in the divisional round of 1178 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 1: the playoffs. So when you look at a play like 1179 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:17,600 Speaker 1: this for Taran Johnson, which I absolutely loved getting to 1180 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 1: listen back to your guys calling the radio, especially Murph 1181 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 1: doing play by play of that play, I actually look 1182 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 1: forward to being able to see it. But I'll tell 1183 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,440 Speaker 1: you this, it was all I could do to be quiet. 1184 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,560 Speaker 1: I know, it was all gay out of the way, Steve. 1185 01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 1: I could not. I mean I had to absolutely focus 1186 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:42,240 Speaker 1: and concentrate to keep my mouth shut. Yeah. Yeah, And 1187 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,280 Speaker 1: if you would have opened your mouth, you could have 1188 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,920 Speaker 1: gotten all the royalty checks from all the networks that 1189 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 1: are going to be using the that call. Now Murph 1190 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,040 Speaker 1: gets all of them. Good for him, Yeah, he deserves it. 1191 01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,760 Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to ask you, Eric, with 1192 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 1: respect to the offense, we know that Isaiah McKenzie through 1193 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:04,120 Speaker 1: the course of the regular season was a bonified weapon 1194 01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:07,160 Speaker 1: that was used by Brian Dable. Through most of the 1195 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 1: regular season, he very quietly had five offensive touchdowns for 1196 01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:14,280 Speaker 1: this team, and then here in the playoffs he has 1197 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:18,760 Speaker 1: been used very sparingly. Four plays on offense against the Colts, 1198 01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:24,120 Speaker 1: only eight on Saturday against the Ravens. Just putting your 1199 01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 1: best oc hat on. Do you see this strictly as 1200 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 1: matchup related or do you think there is something else 1201 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,400 Speaker 1: there where Brian Dable is choosing to use other elements 1202 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,880 Speaker 1: of his offense because he just thinks it's better. I 1203 01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 1: mean that logic would say that, but I didn't know 1204 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,880 Speaker 1: if maybe you had another thought on it. No, I 1205 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:44,680 Speaker 1: think you're spot on there because when you look back 1206 01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 1: at Week seventeen when they rested guys, Isaiah McKenzie was 1207 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,520 Speaker 1: probably the best player on the field against Miami. So 1208 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,320 Speaker 1: it's not like they've phased them out. It's not like 1209 01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:57,120 Speaker 1: he's in ill favor with the organization. It's simply you've 1210 01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,320 Speaker 1: gotten all four of your guys back, and so in 1211 01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,400 Speaker 1: your four wive receiver sets, who you're gonna take off 1212 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,120 Speaker 1: the field. Maybe Cole Beasley at times if he's still 1213 01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 1: nursing his injury. Maybe John Brown if he hasn't got 1214 01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:10,040 Speaker 1: his win fully back from being out. But I mean, 1215 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,800 Speaker 1: those top four receivers the Bills have, it's it's a 1216 01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:16,720 Speaker 1: crowded wide receiver room, you know. And maybe with the 1217 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 1: red zone percentage red zone touchdown percentage down in the 1218 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:24,600 Speaker 1: playoffs so far, maybe great, Maybe day Ball gets Isaam 1219 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,760 Speaker 1: McKenzie involved a little bit more in the red zone 1220 01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 1: because he could be such a threat in the red 1221 01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,560 Speaker 1: zone on those Jets sweep those little flip plays. He's 1222 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:36,680 Speaker 1: also capable of throwing the ball, which we've seen, so 1223 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 1: maybe day Ball starts utilizing him a little bit more 1224 01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,920 Speaker 1: now across the across the league. Right now, there's only 1225 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:48,160 Speaker 1: two head coaching vacancies available. Left, it's the Houston Texans 1226 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:52,040 Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia Eagles. Right, you're seen crossing your fingers. 1227 01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:55,640 Speaker 1: When the LA Chargers hired Staley, who is the defensive 1228 01:04:55,680 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 1: coordinator from LA Ram from the Rams, I was shocked, 1229 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 1: and because I thought day Ball was an absolute hand 1230 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,600 Speaker 1: in glove, perfect fit for the what LA Chargers have 1231 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,120 Speaker 1: going on out there. But now it's down to the 1232 01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,440 Speaker 1: Houston Texans and that Philadelphia Eagles. And I'll tell you this, 1233 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,840 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans job, We've talked about this earlier in 1234 01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,320 Speaker 1: the show, seems unattractive and perhaps maybe the worst job 1235 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:21,960 Speaker 1: in coaching right at the moment because of the dysfunction 1236 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,000 Speaker 1: that is available and the and the unhappy superstars uncertain 1237 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,440 Speaker 1: the financial disarray that they're in with the cap. They 1238 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,560 Speaker 1: got two you know, an aging star in JJ Watt 1239 01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 1: that may have to be traded who is an icon, 1240 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:35,760 Speaker 1: and you're gonna get blamed for it if you're the 1241 01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:37,240 Speaker 1: head coach and they trade them. You know, all that 1242 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,440 Speaker 1: stuff's going on, and I don't know if they can 1243 01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,720 Speaker 1: give the head coaching job away in Houston, But Philly 1244 01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,280 Speaker 1: is a different matter as well. But what are your 1245 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:49,800 Speaker 1: thoughts on those two spots, Philly and Houston as a 1246 01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 1: landing spot free either Leslie Fraser or Brian Dable. Well, 1247 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,880 Speaker 1: let me start off percent agree with you with the 1248 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 1: LA Chargers and why it appeared to everybody that Brian 1249 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,760 Speaker 1: dave Ball would be the perfect fit, because you know, 1250 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,440 Speaker 1: Josh Allen deserves a ton of credit himself. Brian day 1251 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,120 Speaker 1: Ball isn't the only reason for his rise in production 1252 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,640 Speaker 1: and all of that. But when you take a quarterback 1253 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:16,040 Speaker 1: like Josh Allen and you make maybe the best, when 1254 01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,800 Speaker 1: you make some of the best strides in NFL history, 1255 01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:22,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to completion percentage, quarterback rating and everything 1256 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 1: else that Josh has improved on, the offensive coordinator is 1257 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 1: going to get a lot of credit, and so you 1258 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,800 Speaker 1: assume that he was huge in that development. You're sitting 1259 01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,240 Speaker 1: there with Justin Herbert, who had a phenomenal rookie year, 1260 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,600 Speaker 1: and you say, man, if Brian dave Ball can have 1261 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 1: him make that next step, that's what we want. So 1262 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,560 Speaker 1: I was, you know, I go back and forth because 1263 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,479 Speaker 1: I love Leslie Frasier and Brian dave Ball. I want 1264 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:49,080 Speaker 1: ultimate success for them, But I am a Bill's fan employee. 1265 01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,040 Speaker 1: Whatever you want to call me super fan, and so 1266 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,880 Speaker 1: as I sit here, I also don't want them to leave. Selfishly, 1267 01:06:56,360 --> 01:07:00,520 Speaker 1: but I think truly that Leslie Frasier could be a 1268 01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 1: phenomenal presence down in Houston. He's so called me, he's 1269 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 1: a he's a remarkable person and leader, and he could 1270 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,440 Speaker 1: be everything that they need down in Houston from a 1271 01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,400 Speaker 1: leadership perspective, if given the opportunity. But I would hate 1272 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,040 Speaker 1: to see him go. And then I think Brian day Ball, 1273 01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, he's definitely got a future as a head coach. 1274 01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,800 Speaker 1: When you get this many interviews, this much interest, eventually 1275 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,280 Speaker 1: you'll get your opportunity. Whether it's this year or down 1276 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:29,280 Speaker 1: the line, we'll see. Selfishly, I love having Brian and Buffalo. 1277 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:31,680 Speaker 1: He's a Buffalo guy, So if he had to stay, 1278 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:33,520 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the end of the world for him, 1279 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure. But you know, you want coaches who have 1280 01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 1: aspirations of being head coaches, who are given the opportunities, 1281 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,000 Speaker 1: and it's it's a remarkable side of where this franchise 1282 01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:48,720 Speaker 1: is at that their assistant coaches are so highly sought after. 1283 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,000 Speaker 1: Two part question here on Lamar you know who I know, 1284 01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 1: You're pretty familiar with with the Louisville Ties and whatnot. Eric, 1285 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,880 Speaker 1: it looked as though he was pretty confused when he 1286 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,440 Speaker 1: did drop back to pass as to what he was 1287 01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 1: looking at. And I know we talk extensively on this 1288 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,720 Speaker 1: show and with you in the past about you know, 1289 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 1: how well hide and poyor spin the dial on quarterbacks, 1290 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,200 Speaker 1: but it looked like it went even deeper than that 1291 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,080 Speaker 1: in terms of crossing up Lamar. And I know the 1292 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,320 Speaker 1: pressure scheme helped too, but I'm just curious for your 1293 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:24,800 Speaker 1: take on how confused you felt Lamar looked in the 1294 01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:28,280 Speaker 1: game number one and then number two, the steps that 1295 01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:31,200 Speaker 1: the Bills mafia took to support his charitable cause right 1296 01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:36,439 Speaker 1: there in Louisville. Yeah, started with your first question. You know, 1297 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,280 Speaker 1: I thought I thought defensively, the Bills were able to 1298 01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:42,240 Speaker 1: generate enough pressure in his face, whether that was through 1299 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,200 Speaker 1: the blitz or even just the pass rusher, as I 1300 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,400 Speaker 1: thought Jerry Hughes was absolutely dominant in the game. Was 1301 01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,519 Speaker 1: great to see Trent Murphy back there. I thought the 1302 01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 1: interior guys were constantly pushing guys back in his face, 1303 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,400 Speaker 1: so that made it tough to read the defense. And 1304 01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:58,760 Speaker 1: then when you're constantly mixing up the looks that makes 1305 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,439 Speaker 1: it tough as well. I'm so not that impressed, and 1306 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,639 Speaker 1: I don't think this is a hot take by any means. 1307 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:07,000 Speaker 1: With the Baltimore Receiving Corps, there's the strength of their 1308 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,479 Speaker 1: receivers as Hollywood Brown, He's a little guy. He can, 1309 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,920 Speaker 1: He's a take the top off the defense type of guy. 1310 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,559 Speaker 1: But when the run game's not there, that play action 1311 01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 1: over the top is not going to be there because 1312 01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,880 Speaker 1: the safeties will be there and so and then you 1313 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,360 Speaker 1: got Willie Snead. He's kind of the same type of player, 1314 01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,599 Speaker 1: maybe quicker than he is fast, and then you got 1315 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:27,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of tight ends. So for me, it's like 1316 01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,120 Speaker 1: if I'm sitting back there in the mar if you're 1317 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:32,120 Speaker 1: getting in obvious pass situations, that's a one. You don't 1318 01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,920 Speaker 1: really have matchups that you probably love on the outside, 1319 01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 1: especially when you're looking at Norman Wallace, White Power Hide, 1320 01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:44,200 Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson, where do you go? And then you know? 1321 01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 1: And then you're linebackers of Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Milano. 1322 01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:51,479 Speaker 1: Those guys can cover Hurst and Andrews. So to me, 1323 01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,640 Speaker 1: if you combine the pressure in the face with not 1324 01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,880 Speaker 1: great matchups, on the outside, a lack of a run game, 1325 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,479 Speaker 1: and and blitz is coming from everywhere. That's that's a 1326 01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:05,599 Speaker 1: tough knife for a quarterback, and especially with the wind whipping. 1327 01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:09,000 Speaker 1: So so you know I'm with you. He struggled and 1328 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,600 Speaker 1: then ultimately got got knocked out of the game with 1329 01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:15,680 Speaker 1: a concussion. But I'll say this as well, for as 1330 01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,479 Speaker 1: bad as Lamar jackson struggle in the passing game, that's 1331 01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,920 Speaker 1: center deserves a lot of blame. There was a lot 1332 01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,040 Speaker 1: of inaccurate snaps, even the ones that didn't get past Lamar. 1333 01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,720 Speaker 1: And for a quarterback, if you're not absolutely on your 1334 01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,160 Speaker 1: a game, and then you combine the fact that you 1335 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,200 Speaker 1: have to pull your eyes down to find the snap 1336 01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 1: on every play, that's tough. So I'll give Lamar a 1337 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,840 Speaker 1: halfway of a pass from some poor center play in 1338 01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:42,000 Speaker 1: front of him. I can't always speak like an expert 1339 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:43,800 Speaker 1: on the quarterback play, but I know I can speak 1340 01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:46,479 Speaker 1: on an expert on the center play. And then for 1341 01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,400 Speaker 1: what Lamar, what Bill's Mafia has done for Lamar's charity, 1342 01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,800 Speaker 1: I'll just say this, the city of Louisville has been 1343 01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,559 Speaker 1: through the Ringer in twenty twenty. Most cities have, but Louisville, 1344 01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,720 Speaker 1: especially when you combine the COVID pandemic with the regulations 1345 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:04,080 Speaker 1: governor that, similar to Buffalo, put some really heavy restrictions 1346 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 1: on businesses, and then you combine that with the unrest 1347 01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 1: of Brianna Taylor and the social injustice and people coming 1348 01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,400 Speaker 1: from all around the country to protest in Louisville and 1349 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,160 Speaker 1: the violence and the damage that that caused. To have 1350 01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,479 Speaker 1: a bright light like this come from Bill's mafia, come 1351 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:23,400 Speaker 1: from a Buffalo community that stretches across the country. I mean, 1352 01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:25,800 Speaker 1: it's phenomenal. I mean, this is like one of the 1353 01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,920 Speaker 1: biggest positive moments of the past maybe ten months for 1354 01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,400 Speaker 1: our city. And the fact that it comes in a 1355 01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:36,840 Speaker 1: loss from their most beloved quarterback. He gets hurt, they 1356 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 1: lose the game, and then for this to be what 1357 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,840 Speaker 1: comes out of it, it just shows that sports are 1358 01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 1: often bigger than football, and you can make a tremendous 1359 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:48,320 Speaker 1: impact and you know, people will say, oh, that's cheesy 1360 01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,559 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. All they donate money. Again, 1361 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:56,520 Speaker 1: you're talking three hundred thousand dollars to an organization. Nonprofits 1362 01:11:56,560 --> 01:12:00,320 Speaker 1: around the country are getting crushed right now. I am 1363 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,000 Speaker 1: on the board of three one is my own. If 1364 01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 1: you are a nonprofit thriving in twenty twenty to twenty 1365 01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,839 Speaker 1: twenty one, good for you. You deserve a round of applause, 1366 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,439 Speaker 1: because with a lot without events where you can serve 1367 01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 1: alcohol and do great live auction items, it's really hard 1368 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,680 Speaker 1: to raise money. And so for blessings in a backpack, 1369 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:22,200 Speaker 1: to get around three hundred thousand already is just remarkable. 1370 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:25,840 Speaker 1: One last one run real quick before we go. What's 1371 01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:30,640 Speaker 1: your first blush at the Chiefs Bills championship game? What 1372 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,960 Speaker 1: do you think? Man, it's gonna be. There's so many 1373 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:37,040 Speaker 1: awesome storylines. You know. These teams played earlier in the season. 1374 01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,479 Speaker 1: Bills had six days rest, Chiefs had eight. The Bills 1375 01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:43,840 Speaker 1: dared Andy Reid to run the football and Boy Diddy 1376 01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,799 Speaker 1: forty six rush attempts for Kansas City only fifty total 1377 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,680 Speaker 1: plays for the Buffalo Bills. Josh was held to one 1378 01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,040 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one yards passing, but it was also 1379 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,280 Speaker 1: a rainy night. Mahomes only had two hundred and twenty five. 1380 01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 1: When you look at the game. I talked earlier about 1381 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:04,400 Speaker 1: turnover in touchdown percentage. The Bills have done really well 1382 01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:06,920 Speaker 1: in the turnover department to start the season or start 1383 01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,880 Speaker 1: the postseason. Need to continue that and I feel like 1384 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,559 Speaker 1: I feel like these teams are pretty evenly matched. The 1385 01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:15,040 Speaker 1: national media and the big picture will be painted that 1386 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,639 Speaker 1: the Bills might be this huge underdog. I think talent 1387 01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:21,800 Speaker 1: wise and all things considered, it's fairly even. And I 1388 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,439 Speaker 1: think when you look at playoff matchups like this, it's 1389 01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,960 Speaker 1: gonna be who turns the ball over, who can score 1390 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,040 Speaker 1: touchdowns when they get in the red zone, and then 1391 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 1: you're looking at two or three plays that's going to 1392 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:37,120 Speaker 1: decide the rest of that game. Eric, good stuff as always. 1393 01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:40,320 Speaker 1: We appreciate it, and we'll catch up with you hopefully 1394 01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:44,000 Speaker 1: next week when we're talking about maybe the season continuing again. 1395 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,680 Speaker 1: That would be something. So hopefully that's the conversation when 1396 01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,880 Speaker 1: we catch up with you on Monday next week. Absolutely, 1397 01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:51,760 Speaker 1: you guys have a great week. Enjoy it all, right, 1398 01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:55,160 Speaker 1: Eric Wood joining us here as he does every Monday 1399 01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,760 Speaker 1: on One Bills Live. We will take a break, but 1400 01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:59,800 Speaker 1: we'll come back and get to more of your phone 1401 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:02,799 Speaker 1: calls and comments on the tweet sheet as we're asking 1402 01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, where are you at now that your team 1403 01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,280 Speaker 1: is in the Final four for the first time since 1404 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:13,000 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. Amazing, Amazing, Back in a moment here 1405 01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,479 Speaker 1: on One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health. This is 1406 01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:31,519 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown Steve Castier with you second 1407 01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 1: half of a Bills victory Monday edition of One Bills Live. 1408 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,880 Speaker 1: As your team is in the AFC Title Games, say 1409 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:41,640 Speaker 1: it a hundred times. If you're something bad happens to 1410 01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:43,760 Speaker 1: you today, Just say that to yourself five times. I 1411 01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:45,640 Speaker 1: guarantee you to put a smile right back on your 1412 01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:49,600 Speaker 1: face instantaneously. You know you stub your toe on the 1413 01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:51,479 Speaker 1: bedpost in the morning when you get out of bed 1414 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,120 Speaker 1: this morning, Just say the Bills are in the AFC 1415 01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,320 Speaker 1: Championship Game. You'll instantly start smiling and your toe will 1416 01:14:56,320 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 1: stop hurting. Is no false? Actually, I gotta tell you 1417 01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,759 Speaker 1: that's We are going to get to the tweet sheet 1418 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:08,400 Speaker 1: here in just one second. I do want to tell 1419 01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:12,960 Speaker 1: people the return to participation protocol for the NFL, knowing 1420 01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,160 Speaker 1: that Mahomes is in it. We anticipate he'll probably move 1421 01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 1: through it rather quickly, since we are hearing reports that 1422 01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,360 Speaker 1: it was more about a nerve getting pinched in his neck, 1423 01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,840 Speaker 1: which kind of made him woozy on his feet and 1424 01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:29,480 Speaker 1: why he had trouble standing right after he was tackled. Technically, 1425 01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,080 Speaker 1: and even though the symptoms were obvious if you were 1426 01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:33,960 Speaker 1: watching the game, he thought, wow, we got knocked loopy 1427 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,080 Speaker 1: because he couldn't stand up. He was wobbling on as 1428 01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,559 Speaker 1: he's tried to stand up. He looked it looked really bad. 1429 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,519 Speaker 1: But technically what we're talking about they're talking about now 1430 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:46,040 Speaker 1: isn't a concussion. It's a concussion symptoms by getting a 1431 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:48,960 Speaker 1: nerve whacked in his neck, pinched in his neck. So 1432 01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:53,519 Speaker 1: in any event, the return to participation protocol is a 1433 01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:58,880 Speaker 1: five step protocol. So Phase one is symptom limited activity 1434 01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,519 Speaker 1: the players and rest or he's limited in doing any 1435 01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,760 Speaker 1: kind of activities both physical and cognitive. The first could 1436 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 1: aggravate symptoms. He rests until the signs of this and 1437 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:13,479 Speaker 1: the symptoms allow him to return to his baseline of 1438 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,360 Speaker 1: where he was before the end the ten guys at 1439 01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:17,960 Speaker 1: the beginning of the years. So they'll run a test 1440 01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,320 Speaker 1: on him and see how far off his baseline he is. Uh, 1441 01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,920 Speaker 1: And they'll probably probably did that yesterday after you know, 1442 01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,600 Speaker 1: And there is a report from the city affiliate in 1443 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,639 Speaker 1: Kansas city that he passed all of those last night. 1444 01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:33,479 Speaker 1: More tests today obviously, right, and today is is um 1445 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,680 Speaker 1: if it's if he does move into like phase two today, 1446 01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,840 Speaker 1: if their game was yesterday, probably off today, right, right, 1447 01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,120 Speaker 1: But he'll go in for tests. If he's got medical treatments, 1448 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:44,840 Speaker 1: they'll do that. What it is. The next thing is 1449 01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:48,479 Speaker 1: he begins cardio. Actually, he can exercise, he can be stretched, 1450 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:53,000 Speaker 1: balanced training and the medical the team's medical staff oversees 1451 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:56,880 Speaker 1: this stuff, so they'll give him some some man not mandatory, 1452 01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,160 Speaker 1: but set exercises they can do. He can stretch, you 1453 01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:03,360 Speaker 1: can get on a bike or tread not treadmill, but 1454 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,800 Speaker 1: probably a bike, low impact stuff. That's because they want 1455 01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:07,959 Speaker 1: to raise your heart rate to see if it affects 1456 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,280 Speaker 1: this or bring symptoms on. That's right, because what happens 1457 01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,880 Speaker 1: is if you've had a concussion, you will be unable 1458 01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:18,000 Speaker 1: to get your heart, get your adrenaline up, your heart 1459 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:19,560 Speaker 1: rate up. You won't be able to exercise or do 1460 01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,880 Speaker 1: anything strenuous. Or if you go above a certain line 1461 01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 1: of stress, then you start to revert back and start 1462 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:32,920 Speaker 1: to have some like headaches, sensitivity, sensitivity to light, nauseous, 1463 01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 1: those kind of those kind of symptoms. If if you 1464 01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,360 Speaker 1: do this stuff and none of that happens, then you 1465 01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,040 Speaker 1: go to step three. You go to step and that's 1466 01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 1: where they can do football specific work, presumably non contact, 1467 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,559 Speaker 1: but you know, throwing the football. So if we see 1468 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:52,680 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes out throwing a football on Wednesday in any capacity, 1469 01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:56,360 Speaker 1: limited or otherwise, we can assume he's at least in 1470 01:17:56,439 --> 01:18:00,760 Speaker 1: phase three, right, potentially in phase four if he's you know, 1471 01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 1: got problem. The problem with these steps are there's twenty 1472 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,639 Speaker 1: four hours in between each step. They gotta wait twenty 1473 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,799 Speaker 1: four hours. They got to bring him back and say, okay, 1474 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:12,200 Speaker 1: how do you feel today after yours? And and basically 1475 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:16,559 Speaker 1: there's only there's five step, but there's really only four. 1476 01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,679 Speaker 1: The fifth step is okay, you're good. Medical you can go. Yeah, 1477 01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:22,680 Speaker 1: that the fifth step by the team and an independent neurology, right, 1478 01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:27,360 Speaker 1: that's right. And and the independent neurologists are not paid 1479 01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 1: by the team, so they don't have any skin in 1480 01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 1: the game as to whether Mahomes plays or not. But um, 1481 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, the next day they come back and the 1482 01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,200 Speaker 1: independent and they give him tests and medical evaluations and 1483 01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:39,760 Speaker 1: all that. So if they get to if they can 1484 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:43,600 Speaker 1: get to phase four. The next step is just to 1485 01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,000 Speaker 1: say okay, but the phase four is what Phase four 1486 01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:51,920 Speaker 1: is non contact participation in practice essentially, um and if 1487 01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,320 Speaker 1: we remember last year, Josh went through this after he 1488 01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:59,439 Speaker 1: suffered the concussion against the Patriots in Week four. I 1489 01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,800 Speaker 1: go back on the practice field because you and Murph 1490 01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:06,040 Speaker 1: were in here, and Josh is participating in practice on Wednesday. Right, 1491 01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:11,160 Speaker 1: he was already in stage four by that point in time, 1492 01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,240 Speaker 1: So he was only three days removed, and he had 1493 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:18,080 Speaker 1: obviously passed all the tests Sunday night, came back in Monday, 1494 01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:22,759 Speaker 1: was already in probably phase two. Did aerobic exercise, no symptoms. 1495 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:29,920 Speaker 1: Tuesday comes in, does some light football related exercises, fine, 1496 01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,800 Speaker 1: comes out on practice Wednesday. He's already in stage four. 1497 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:37,280 Speaker 1: So conceivably Mahomes could be on the same track, especially 1498 01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 1: if it's not even a true concussion. So right, well, 1499 01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:44,320 Speaker 1: I think we all anticipate that's probably going to go. 1500 01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,479 Speaker 1: I bet Mahomes is practicing on Wednesday, maybe not full, 1501 01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:52,160 Speaker 1: maybe limited, but certainly he's not gonna this is not 1502 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:56,360 Speaker 1: going to derail his preparations in any substantial substantive way. 1503 01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,640 Speaker 1: Let's go to the tweet sheet, which is brought to 1504 01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,160 Speaker 1: you by a Corrigan Moving System, the official equipment moving 1505 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. Where we are asking what's 1506 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:05,960 Speaker 1: on your mind today? As the Bills advanced the AFC 1507 01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:08,840 Speaker 1: Title Game and Chris leads us off today he said, 1508 01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:10,960 Speaker 1: what's on my mind? Does I want Patrick Mahomes at 1509 01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,200 Speaker 1: his finest so we can prove we are better? What's 1510 01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:14,800 Speaker 1: on my mind? Does I want Tom Brady in the 1511 01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,080 Speaker 1: super Bowl so we can repay twenty years of misery 1512 01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:20,160 Speaker 1: back on the grandest stage. I love this team and 1513 01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:24,240 Speaker 1: the great city of Buffalo. I'm just way too excited. Chris, 1514 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,320 Speaker 1: is this is That's not you didn't write that. I 1515 01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 1: did not write that one, right, although I am pretty 1516 01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:35,080 Speaker 1: I want Mahomes, I want Brady, I want payback, and 1517 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:41,400 Speaker 1: I love Buffalo, God bless everyone. Uh yeah, that's that's 1518 01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:43,160 Speaker 1: that's a little bit of ape. I think that sums 1519 01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,120 Speaker 1: it up though for those fans in Buffalo right now, 1520 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,640 Speaker 1: that's a little post game glow right there. Going on 1521 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,639 Speaker 1: that tweet, there's another Chris, Chris seven one six says 1522 01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,519 Speaker 1: all that's on my mind today is a big win. 1523 01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:55,760 Speaker 1: It's time to go to Casey and earn our spot 1524 01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,000 Speaker 1: in the big game. It's time to prove all the 1525 01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,400 Speaker 1: doubters and the haters wrong. Our time is now. Let's 1526 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:04,720 Speaker 1: go Bills. You know. It's it's funny because I get 1527 01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:07,960 Speaker 1: the sense that most of the haters exist in the 1528 01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:11,360 Speaker 1: national media. I think there's I mean, you talked about 1529 01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:12,800 Speaker 1: it at the top of the show, Steve. There's a 1530 01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,280 Speaker 1: lot of other fans around the league that don't have 1531 01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:17,760 Speaker 1: a problem rooting for Buffalo. It's an easy team to 1532 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:21,360 Speaker 1: root for. It's the national media that still has the 1533 01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,720 Speaker 1: hate out there more than anybody else. And yeah, I 1534 01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:25,920 Speaker 1: don't want to go down a rabbit hole of the media, 1535 01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:30,000 Speaker 1: but it's no fun to have a pregame show nationally 1536 01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:34,400 Speaker 1: or a national radio show without some controversy and some tension. 1537 01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:36,960 Speaker 1: Somebody's got to take both sides of the argument because 1538 01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:38,840 Speaker 1: you got to have a debate. If there's no debate 1539 01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:41,559 Speaker 1: to be had, nobody wants to watch. So somebody's got 1540 01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,519 Speaker 1: to be on the wrong side of the coin, even 1541 01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:47,120 Speaker 1: if that coin doesn't have another side. So Stephen A. Smith, 1542 01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:51,320 Speaker 1: for example, picked the Ravens Nick Wright same thing. Yeah, 1543 01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,800 Speaker 1: So it's it's there's a lot of them there out there, 1544 01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:55,960 Speaker 1: and it's let's face it, there are a lot of 1545 01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,679 Speaker 1: people who it was funny they earlier in the season, 1546 01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:04,120 Speaker 1: people had the apology for us. There's not too many 1547 01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:05,800 Speaker 1: to let people left that are you know that I 1548 01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:08,400 Speaker 1: haven't signed up on that. The guy had a phenomenal year. 1549 01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:13,519 Speaker 1: He has silenced his critics, at least the serious ones, 1550 01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:17,519 Speaker 1: and it's it's it's all gone now. I mean, the 1551 01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 1: guy is a legitimate, top flight, elite quarterback in the NFL, 1552 01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 1: and he's playing like a weekend week out. Certainly you 1553 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,240 Speaker 1: can point to him yesterday and say he's you know, 1554 01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:29,000 Speaker 1: he or Saturday's game and he didn't play well. His 1555 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:30,719 Speaker 1: numbers were bad at it. You know what, his numbers 1556 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,519 Speaker 1: were just about as good as Tom Brady's. So you 1557 01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:38,320 Speaker 1: can take they're playing against good defenses. Defenses have caught 1558 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,360 Speaker 1: up to the offenses this season. In the second half 1559 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,640 Speaker 1: of the year, I think across the league, defenses have 1560 01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:48,040 Speaker 1: become better and better, and so I think Josh still 1561 01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,960 Speaker 1: deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Mahomes, Rogers, 1562 01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:56,439 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, all of those guys from Tiffany. On the 1563 01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:58,840 Speaker 1: tweet sheets, he says, this is one special team with 1564 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:02,000 Speaker 1: a great opportunity to win it all. Next Sunday, two 1565 01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:05,000 Speaker 1: megapowers will collide in Casey for the right to represent 1566 01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:07,240 Speaker 1: the AFC in the Super Bowl. You couldn't ask for 1567 01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:09,879 Speaker 1: a better matchup of two elite squads. Alan versus Mahomes 1568 01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,680 Speaker 1: is pure prime time go Bills. I wonder if that 1569 01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:21,240 Speaker 1: was think about this, Steve, Okay, the networks in terms of, 1570 01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,679 Speaker 1: you know, the timing of the games. They chose Alan 1571 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:30,559 Speaker 1: Mahomes over Rogers Brady as the late game. You know, 1572 01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend to know how all that 1573 01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,559 Speaker 1: gets decided. And maybe they were already in those time 1574 01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:38,160 Speaker 1: slots anyway they were Okay, Well, then I then I 1575 01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:43,320 Speaker 1: retract my I am cynical. I will be the first 1576 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:46,519 Speaker 1: to admit that, but I retract that knowing that they 1577 01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 1: were already Well, it crops up every now and again. 1578 01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,519 Speaker 1: But I was just like thinking, oh, nice, I like 1579 01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,680 Speaker 1: that the late game is the young guns, you know 1580 01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,559 Speaker 1: what I mean, and not the old timers. Yeah, and 1581 01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:01,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I wanted it to be more 1582 01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 1: delicious than it really is. It was already set in stone, 1583 01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:08,000 Speaker 1: so whatever, Well, it's still gonna be great. And the 1584 01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:09,639 Speaker 1: other game is going to be interesting too. I don't 1585 01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,960 Speaker 1: think there's anything Brady and Rogers. Yeah, for sure, it's 1586 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:17,720 Speaker 1: a great it's a great matchup. I'm I'm totally with you. 1587 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 1: I know you're a big fan of wild Card Weekend. 1588 01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:23,320 Speaker 1: You think it's some of the best football you see 1589 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,840 Speaker 1: all year. Listen, You've got teams that just crawled in 1590 01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,599 Speaker 1: going for broke and right, and Super wild Card Weekend 1591 01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,640 Speaker 1: is like the best thing ever six games. Come on, 1592 01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:33,800 Speaker 1: give me but give me that all the time. But 1593 01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:37,439 Speaker 1: there's something about Championship Weekend that I that really appeals 1594 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,200 Speaker 1: to me. Just you know, the final four teams that 1595 01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:44,400 Speaker 1: have just scratched and scraped their way to get to 1596 01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:47,800 Speaker 1: this point and now it's it's sitting right there for them, 1597 01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:51,120 Speaker 1: and I just think people just lay well out, here's 1598 01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:53,280 Speaker 1: the thing. It's this championship and I would I would 1599 01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:54,800 Speaker 1: agree with that. And the games that I was a 1600 01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:57,839 Speaker 1: part of as a player, the four Championship AC Championship 1601 01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:00,479 Speaker 1: games that five I guess AFC Championship games that I 1602 01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:04,920 Speaker 1: was in. You got two really good teams and they're 1603 01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:07,839 Speaker 1: playing good, and they're being coached well, and they believe 1604 01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:10,120 Speaker 1: that they're the tea They believe that it's their year. 1605 01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 1: They believe that they're they've got what it takes, and 1606 01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:17,040 Speaker 1: you're right, the Super Bowl is just it's right there 1607 01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:20,760 Speaker 1: in front of you. And that is a that's a 1608 01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,160 Speaker 1: lot of carrot. That's a lot going on. That's a 1609 01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 1: big carrot sitting out there. That is a lot of 1610 01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:27,080 Speaker 1: That is a lot of guys sitting in front of 1611 01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,360 Speaker 1: their locker pre game, in their gear, running through those 1612 01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:33,000 Speaker 1: scenarios about what this game means, how long they've been 1613 01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,679 Speaker 1: working for it, and what happens if it don't happen, 1614 01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:39,720 Speaker 1: if if they lose that that is that's a lot 1615 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:43,320 Speaker 1: of machines. You know, that's a lot of a lot 1616 01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:46,080 Speaker 1: of thought process churning around in your baying, Oh my gosh. 1617 01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,120 Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of gears grinding in 1618 01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,800 Speaker 1: a lot of heads inside locker rooms on games like that. 1619 01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:55,040 Speaker 1: And for the teams that I was on, we were 1620 01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:58,600 Speaker 1: four and one in championship games. AFC championship games. We 1621 01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:02,880 Speaker 1: lost the first one on one four straight and we 1622 01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:08,040 Speaker 1: got to the point really quickly that you gotta trust 1623 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:11,040 Speaker 1: your guys, you know, a lot like Andy Reid did 1624 01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:14,679 Speaker 1: yesterday on fourth down. J Henny and I'll say what happened. 1625 01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:19,960 Speaker 1: I told you this. Andy Reid will be an absolute 1626 01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:22,559 Speaker 1: legend for the players in that locker room. For the 1627 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:25,599 Speaker 1: way he called that fourth down play in Kansas City yesterday. 1628 01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:29,080 Speaker 1: You said yourself, the analytics, guys, go was ninety percent 1629 01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:32,599 Speaker 1: to win if you go for it, nine point six 1630 01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:35,160 Speaker 1: percent if you hunt punt. You know, so it was. 1631 01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:38,080 Speaker 1: It wasn't It was like a coin flip, right, So 1632 01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:42,800 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? And he goes for it, 1633 01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:44,840 Speaker 1: and a lot of coach say, I trust my guys, 1634 01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:48,360 Speaker 1: I love him, I love my guys, and stuff. When 1635 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,759 Speaker 1: the Chiefs look at themselves in the mirror and Andy 1636 01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:53,439 Speaker 1: Reid says I trust my guys, he means all of them, 1637 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:56,240 Speaker 1: including the backup quarterback who just threw a pick in 1638 01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:59,720 Speaker 1: the end zone. I trust my guys means something. When 1639 01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 1: you give him a chance to prove it, Um, that's 1640 01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:06,519 Speaker 1: gonna that decision to go for it and put it 1641 01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:10,240 Speaker 1: in the hands of your backup quarterback. Rhet will resonate 1642 01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,559 Speaker 1: all the way throughout that organization, particularly in the locker 1643 01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:16,240 Speaker 1: room with all the players, because right now, if I'm 1644 01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:19,160 Speaker 1: if I'm a special teams guy standing on the signeline 1645 01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:22,800 Speaker 1: like I was for so long, and my head coach says, 1646 01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,720 Speaker 1: I believe in my guys and believes in somebody that 1647 01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:30,360 Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to even play. I'm standing there, going I 1648 01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,640 Speaker 1: gotta get myself ready because if it comes down to 1649 01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:35,040 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or the AFC Championship and he has 1650 01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:38,600 Speaker 1: to trust me to win the game, he's gonna trust me. 1651 01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:41,599 Speaker 1: I gotta be everything. Yeah, everything I can. I gotta 1652 01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:43,439 Speaker 1: be ready because my guy believes it. I'm gonna do 1653 01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:45,479 Speaker 1: everything I can to be ready for that moment. And 1654 01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:49,040 Speaker 1: that's that means something, and I think it really means something. 1655 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:50,960 Speaker 1: And I think the Bills defense has performed that way. 1656 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:52,680 Speaker 1: I mean, we had a story on Buffalo bills dot 1657 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:56,759 Speaker 1: com just last week that said this defense is ready 1658 01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:00,680 Speaker 1: for prime time because of the timely way players up 1659 01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:02,439 Speaker 1: and down that roster on the defensive side of the 1660 01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 1: ball deliver timely plays. And we ran down the list 1661 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,000 Speaker 1: and we just got another one this past week with 1662 01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,960 Speaker 1: Taryn Johnson, the biggest play of the year. Break time 1663 01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 1: for us when we come back. More of your thoughts 1664 01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet as we're asking you, hey, where 1665 01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,519 Speaker 1: are you at? After realizing not only did the Bills 1666 01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:21,640 Speaker 1: win their second playoff game in a row. There are 1667 01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:24,719 Speaker 1: the final four here championship game weekend, and the Bills 1668 01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:26,200 Speaker 1: are going to be a part of it. Where are 1669 01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:28,040 Speaker 1: you at? Let us know on the tweet sheet at 1670 01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,320 Speaker 1: one Bills Live.

We'll kind 1674 01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,000 Speaker 1: of go around the locker room a little bit, maybe 1675 01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,479 Speaker 1: take some more of your phone calls, and then bottom 1676 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,040 Speaker 1: of the hour and probably in about five minutes time, 1677 01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:04,200 Speaker 1: we'll have Maddie Glab join us for her weekly Maddie 1678 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:07,040 Speaker 1: Awards after every victory, so stay tuned for that. We 1679 01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,519 Speaker 1: do go to the phones, though, and we go to 1680 01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,800 Speaker 1: Kim on Grand Island. Kim, what do you have for us? 1681 01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:16,200 Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Hi, good morning guys, Thank 1682 01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:19,080 Speaker 1: you for taking my car. You're very exciting. Trying to 1683 01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:20,559 Speaker 1: be a Bill fan right now. I've been a Bill 1684 01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:23,519 Speaker 1: fan since going to the Old Rock Pile. I'm that old, 1685 01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:27,280 Speaker 1: but I wanted to get your thoughts on the crowd noise. 1686 01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:29,559 Speaker 1: It's going to be probably the biggest crowd the Bills 1687 01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:31,040 Speaker 1: have played in front of them. We know how much 1688 01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:34,599 Speaker 1: of a factor it was for the Ravens, and I thought, 1689 01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:39,760 Speaker 1: what about when they practice, let our players listen to 1690 01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:42,880 Speaker 1: the Bills mafia to get them a little bit used 1691 01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:45,439 Speaker 1: to that noise. What do you think, Uh, yeah, that's 1692 01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:48,439 Speaker 1: an idea. I know that coach always has music blaring 1693 01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:52,400 Speaker 1: onto the field at practice, and it used to be 1694 01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:56,160 Speaker 1: partially as used as a vehicle to get them ready 1695 01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:59,840 Speaker 1: for crowd noise in road games. But yeah, I mean 1696 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:01,800 Speaker 1: don't I mean, if they want to do that, they can. 1697 01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,679 Speaker 1: I think he likes the music over the fan noise 1698 01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:09,200 Speaker 1: because it pretty much keeps the energy level of practice 1699 01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:13,120 Speaker 1: up throughout start to finish. I mean, if you watch 1700 01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:16,920 Speaker 1: practice during the regular season, you see it like you 1701 01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:21,160 Speaker 1: guys are dancing, they're bouncing around. I mean you've seen 1702 01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:24,400 Speaker 1: the videos that the social media team puts out on 1703 01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:28,080 Speaker 1: Twitter and Instagram of the players, you know, literally boogieing 1704 01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:31,840 Speaker 1: down during practice, and it just keeps the energy level up. 1705 01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:33,960 Speaker 1: And when you have the energy level up, you practice 1706 01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,040 Speaker 1: at a higher rate, which is more like a game, 1707 01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:40,559 Speaker 1: so it's a more effective practice. So if coach feels 1708 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,720 Speaker 1: that noise needs to be dealt with because of the 1709 01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:45,880 Speaker 1: fan attendants expected at the game on Sunday in Kansas City. 1710 01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:49,080 Speaker 1: You'll just tell the guy running the wheels of steel, hey, 1711 01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:51,200 Speaker 1: turn the volume up a little bit, right, Yeah, they 1712 01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:55,720 Speaker 1: do pipe music and noise in on certain periods of 1713 01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:59,080 Speaker 1: practice when the defense is on the field, or actually 1714 01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:00,920 Speaker 1: when the offense is on the field for an away game, 1715 01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:03,839 Speaker 1: the crowd will be trying to drown out Josh Allen's 1716 01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,880 Speaker 1: ability to communicate with his receivers and all of that. 1717 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,839 Speaker 1: They do that at practice. So it's a good idea, 1718 01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:14,400 Speaker 1: is that Kim and the league is doing that. I 1719 01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:18,720 Speaker 1: think about every team does that, So you're right in 1720 01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:21,839 Speaker 1: any way you can make it game like is a plus, 1721 01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:25,559 Speaker 1: and teams are piping in music and noise to help 1722 01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:28,599 Speaker 1: players get acclimated to it. The Bills did play in 1723 01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:31,919 Speaker 1: front of eleven thousand fans in Miami in Week two. 1724 01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:34,479 Speaker 1: I think the number is going to be comparable to 1725 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:36,160 Speaker 1: that in Kansas City this week? Is that, right? Is 1726 01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 1: gonna be something like that? Yeah, Okay, it will be 1727 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,080 Speaker 1: the biggest crowd, and I will say the fans in 1728 01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:45,919 Speaker 1: Kansas City are considerably more boisterous than the fans in Miami, 1729 01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 1: so yes, it figures to be the loudest contingent. I 1730 01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:53,240 Speaker 1: know there were fans in Tennessee in Week five, though 1731 01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:55,280 Speaker 1: I don't think it was thirteen thousand, though let me 1732 01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:58,840 Speaker 1: check really quick. Yeah, only eighty four hundred in Tennessee 1733 01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:02,439 Speaker 1: in Week five, So yeah, it will be the largest 1734 01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,559 Speaker 1: crowd of the season for them. But I'm not terribly 1735 01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:10,120 Speaker 1: worried about them handling that. So I really think there 1736 01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:13,360 Speaker 1: are some hidden blessings in going on the road for 1737 01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 1: this AFC title game. Number One, the pressure is off 1738 01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,360 Speaker 1: because you're playing the favorite and the defending Super Bowl champ. 1739 01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:21,880 Speaker 1: I think guys will be looser and really letting it 1740 01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:24,599 Speaker 1: all hang out, and the you know, you get up 1741 01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:26,519 Speaker 1: on that Chiefs team. I'm not saying the game's over, 1742 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:29,519 Speaker 1: but I think the vice gript tightens ever so slightly 1743 01:32:29,960 --> 01:32:32,240 Speaker 1: on those guys. They've been there, they've done that, so 1744 01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:35,719 Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't impact them as much as we might hope. 1745 01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:39,360 Speaker 1: But the pressures off the Bills, I mean, they got 1746 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:42,760 Speaker 1: nothing to worry about going into this game other than 1747 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,080 Speaker 1: just going and playing well. I think that's the truth 1748 01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,679 Speaker 1: for the fans, But the players might feel a little 1749 01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:51,320 Speaker 1: bit differently because they it's always been about finding a 1750 01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:53,519 Speaker 1: way to win a championship for them, and they know 1751 01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:57,160 Speaker 1: now that they're close. So I think the pressure, You're right, 1752 01:32:57,240 --> 01:32:59,560 Speaker 1: the pressure is gonna come within, from within, which is 1753 01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:01,800 Speaker 1: it's kind of where it always is for them. For 1754 01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,559 Speaker 1: the players, well, I'm all for nervous energy and knowing 1755 01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:07,800 Speaker 1: the magnitude of the game, but man, just go play 1756 01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:13,479 Speaker 1: no chance. It's hard to construe with a loss, even 1757 01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:16,280 Speaker 1: a close loss, or even a bad loss. It's hard 1758 01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:19,080 Speaker 1: to construe this season as anything but an enormous success 1759 01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:22,360 Speaker 1: for Buffalo Bills fans. To have a team take a 1760 01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:25,080 Speaker 1: huge step forward like it did, a predictable step, Certainly, 1761 01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:28,639 Speaker 1: it'll raise the expectations through the roof for next year, 1762 01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:31,719 Speaker 1: and rightfully so. Of course, it'll be a long off season, 1763 01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,200 Speaker 1: and they've got some work to do about who to sign, 1764 01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:36,800 Speaker 1: who not to sign, who to re up, and which 1765 01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,519 Speaker 1: are the these young stars they're going to resign to 1766 01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,280 Speaker 1: an extension that kind of thing. But the expectations is 1767 01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:45,160 Speaker 1: going to be through the roof next year, most mostly 1768 01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:47,799 Speaker 1: because they've got a franchise quarterback and four wide receivers 1769 01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:53,439 Speaker 1: that are locked up, not going anywhere. Yeah, So for 1770 01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:58,120 Speaker 1: the pressure, yeah, I mean i'm I'm I hear, I 1771 01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:03,439 Speaker 1: hear exactly what you're saying, because man, man, everything's gravy 1772 01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:05,800 Speaker 1: from here on out. Well, and the general consensus is 1773 01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:09,360 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna win. I mean from outside observers, 1774 01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:13,280 Speaker 1: and I would say the national media at large, I 1775 01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:16,280 Speaker 1: would say the vast majority of them are saying Chiefs 1776 01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:20,639 Speaker 1: this week. So use that as fuel and then play 1777 01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:24,000 Speaker 1: loose man. Yeah, yeah, you know, you cut it loose. 1778 01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,920 Speaker 1: I mean that's and that's you see it. You get this, 1779 01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:28,840 Speaker 1: you get that feeling when you watch the Chiefs play. 1780 01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:31,120 Speaker 1: That's how they play is wildly. I mean they're going 1781 01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:36,679 Speaker 1: forward on fourth down throwing the football right, Yep, it's 1782 01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, that's the way they play. It's and it's 1783 01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:43,080 Speaker 1: a great mindset to be in. Play free and easy, 1784 01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:45,040 Speaker 1: like it don't matter, and that you play your best 1785 01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:47,519 Speaker 1: you and you're your more most effective. It's kind of 1786 01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:50,640 Speaker 1: counterintuitive when you've seen it from the outside in. You 1787 01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:52,960 Speaker 1: play like it doesn't matter, because then you play your best, 1788 01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:56,479 Speaker 1: so when it does matter, you come through. Right. So 1789 01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:00,800 Speaker 1: that is a circular argument. It is, it is, But but 1790 01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:04,760 Speaker 1: but I buy it when you live. We could never 1791 01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:06,479 Speaker 1: get there in the Super Bowls. Well you know that. 1792 01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:08,839 Speaker 1: I know you've talked about the comeback game though, because 1793 01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:11,840 Speaker 1: when it went thirty five three, you guys started playing loose, 1794 01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:13,320 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're back in the game. 1795 01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:17,080 Speaker 1: And right, you were loose, right right, and and now listen, 1796 01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:18,800 Speaker 1: we were loose and said, listen, we're just gonna go 1797 01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:20,599 Speaker 1: for it on every play. Let's go. And when you're 1798 01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:22,880 Speaker 1: when you're in a championship game, you're good enough to 1799 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:24,720 Speaker 1: do that and not have it cost you too much. 1800 01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:27,439 Speaker 1: You're not gonna go off the rails usually, right. So 1801 01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:29,720 Speaker 1: when you're a good team and you get your back 1802 01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:31,519 Speaker 1: against the wall and say let's cut it, loose guys, 1803 01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:35,599 Speaker 1: And here's what happens the other team. As the other 1804 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:39,080 Speaker 1: team is like, we got this, we're good. You know, 1805 01:35:39,120 --> 01:35:40,840 Speaker 1: let's just take a deep breath. We're all right. Let's 1806 01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:42,120 Speaker 1: just keep them in front of us. They can have 1807 01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:44,519 Speaker 1: these little plays and then okay, all right, they scored one. 1808 01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:48,880 Speaker 1: There's not enough, you know, they turn it off. And 1809 01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:51,759 Speaker 1: that little difference in the mentality of the two teams. 1810 01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:54,360 Speaker 1: At the level we're talking about it, the AFC champ 1811 01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:58,760 Speaker 1: Conference Championship. You're done. It's like an avalanche. If if 1812 01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:01,439 Speaker 1: the if there's enough time left, they will score and 1813 01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:03,680 Speaker 1: score and score, and you won't be able to stop him. 1814 01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:06,080 Speaker 1: And the only question is what can happen and what 1815 01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:08,840 Speaker 1: can you do to get your entire team from top 1816 01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:11,880 Speaker 1: to bottom to flip the switch back on once you've 1817 01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,840 Speaker 1: turned it off. That's the trick. That's the real trick, 1818 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:18,439 Speaker 1: is turn it back on once you've turned it off, 1819 01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:22,000 Speaker 1: because it takes all of you to do it all 1820 01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:26,800 Speaker 1: at once, and that's that's almost impossible. Break time for us. 1821 01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:28,559 Speaker 1: But when we come back, we'll take more of your 1822 01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:31,160 Speaker 1: phone calls at eight three five fifty. Where are you 1823 01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,639 Speaker 1: at now that your team's in the final four. Tell 1824 01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:36,519 Speaker 1: us how you're feeling, review that game from Saturday if 1825 01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:39,920 Speaker 1: you wish, eighth three, five fifty, and more of your tweets. 1826 01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:42,840 Speaker 1: At one Bills Live, we'll also take a look around 1827 01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:45,360 Speaker 1: in the locker room. It's all coming up next. You're 1828 01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:47,439 Speaker 1: on one Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health. It's 1829 01:36:47,439 --> 01:37:04,759 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio, Blow Bills Radio Network Sports, your sports 1830 01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:09,040 Speaker 1: update from one Bill's Drive. Bills are heading to Kansa 1831 01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 1: City for the AFC title game on Sunday. Kickoff is 1832 01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:16,559 Speaker 1: at six forty pm. That was determined following the Chiefs 1833 01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:19,519 Speaker 1: twenty two seventeen win over the Browns. In the win, 1834 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs lost quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter. 1835 01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:26,400 Speaker 1: Head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Mahomes is in the 1836 01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:29,719 Speaker 1: concussion protocol. He said, quote, We'll see how he does 1837 01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:32,839 Speaker 1: the next couple of days. End quote. According to Carrington 1838 01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:36,960 Speaker 1: Harrison from the CBS affiliate in Kansas City, a source 1839 01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:41,479 Speaker 1: inside the Chiefs organization tells him that Mahomes passed all 1840 01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:45,200 Speaker 1: of his tests after the game, and the report indicated 1841 01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:49,240 Speaker 1: Mahomes didn't actually hit his head. Rather, Mahomes tweaked a 1842 01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:52,160 Speaker 1: nerve in his neck when he was tackled that made 1843 01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:55,559 Speaker 1: him woozy. He got subsequent tests done on his neck 1844 01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,559 Speaker 1: as well as the nerve that was impacted by the tackle, 1845 01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:02,400 Speaker 1: and he passed all of those tests. Last night, it 1846 01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:05,320 Speaker 1: was the Bucks and Tom Brady advancing to the NFC 1847 01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:08,759 Speaker 1: Title Game, as Tampa advanced with a thirty to twenty 1848 01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:11,120 Speaker 1: win over the Saints in the divisional round. They will 1849 01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:14,519 Speaker 1: now face the Packers in Lambeau on Sunday, a win 1850 01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:17,960 Speaker 1: away from a true home game, as Tampa is the 1851 01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:22,400 Speaker 1: site of Super Bowl fifty five. Head coaching news around 1852 01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:24,800 Speaker 1: the NFL. Now that the Saints have been eliminated from 1853 01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,280 Speaker 1: the NFL postseason, the Detroit Lions are expected to hire 1854 01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:31,280 Speaker 1: Saints assistant head coach and tight ends coach Dan Campbell 1855 01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:36,040 Speaker 1: as their next head coach. Meanwhile, the LA Chargers have 1856 01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:39,360 Speaker 1: made a decision on their head coaching vacancy as they 1857 01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:43,559 Speaker 1: are hiring Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley.

That is your sports update, Chris Brown, 1870 01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,200 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, our number three of the program, 1871 01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:27,320 Speaker 1: where we're taking your phone calls at eight O three 1872 01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:31,759 Speaker 1: five fifty and your comments on the tweet sheet at one. 1873 01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:34,800 Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Took an early look Steve at the forecast 1874 01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:38,519 Speaker 1: for Kansas City for Sunday. Not looking pretty right now, 1875 01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:43,000 Speaker 1: fifty percent chance of rain, high of fifty six, low 1876 01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:45,840 Speaker 1: of thirty six. And I know I am preaching to 1877 01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:48,920 Speaker 1: the choir when I say most players Steve would take 1878 01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:53,400 Speaker 1: twenty eight and snow over thirty six in rain any 1879 01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:56,080 Speaker 1: day of the week for a football game. Yeah, rain stinks. 1880 01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:59,599 Speaker 1: Rains the worst win Wow hard wind is the worst, 1881 01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:02,479 Speaker 1: but wind and rain is the worst. Rain and wind 1882 01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:07,719 Speaker 1: is the absolute worst. So you're right, that's stinks. Hopefully 1883 01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:11,240 Speaker 1: the forecast changes between now and Sunday because that game 1884 01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:13,559 Speaker 1: is not kicking off till six forty, so it's gonna 1885 01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:16,000 Speaker 1: be closer to thirty six degrees in rain rather than 1886 01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:19,760 Speaker 1: the forecast high of forty six. That is brutal. It 1887 01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:23,639 Speaker 1: is absolutely torturous, and it's grass. Let's not forget that. 1888 01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:27,040 Speaker 1: To play in a cold, wet game is just the 1889 01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:31,800 Speaker 1: absolute worst. It's torture. It's absolute torture. So tell us 1890 01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:34,120 Speaker 1: how you really feel still, Oh my gosh, I hate that. 1891 01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:36,960 Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like Steve's channeling memories of 1892 01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:39,679 Speaker 1: playing in conditions like that right now. So bad. See, yeah, 1893 01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:42,599 Speaker 1: And that's the thing. Snow, that's cool, snow very cold. 1894 01:40:42,640 --> 01:40:44,800 Speaker 1: It's because the players have it better than the fans 1895 01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:46,719 Speaker 1: in the stands, because they can run around, stay warm. 1896 01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:48,400 Speaker 1: They go over, they got these heat they get all 1897 01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:52,560 Speaker 1: the high tectures, benches, you got, you know, big ponchos 1898 01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:54,360 Speaker 1: you put on. You stay warm and all that. Your 1899 01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:57,479 Speaker 1: helmet stays warm, on the on the rack, everything. It's 1900 01:40:57,520 --> 01:41:01,160 Speaker 1: it's that's fine. It's when it's because when you get wet, 1901 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:06,240 Speaker 1: now there's no escape. You can't get dry, Yeah, you 1902 01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:08,479 Speaker 1: can only get you now you're wet and cold. Yes, 1903 01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:13,120 Speaker 1: and the cold seeps deep into you when you're yeah, 1904 01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:17,280 Speaker 1: and that's just yeah, it's not fun. That's so bad. 1905 01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:20,360 Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones, as we have some people 1906 01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:23,559 Speaker 1: waiting there at eight oh three h five fifty, and 1907 01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:27,120 Speaker 1: we'll lead off with Carl in Clarence. Carl, what do 1908 01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:30,679 Speaker 1: you have for us here? On one Bill's life. Well, 1909 01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:33,120 Speaker 1: I just want to say it's a great show as always, 1910 01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:36,040 Speaker 1: and that's true, biology R And I don't know people 1911 01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:38,800 Speaker 1: will listen to the radio sports shows around the country 1912 01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:42,720 Speaker 1: that believe me, they're pretty much bery dollars compared to 1913 01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:48,719 Speaker 1: this station. You guys are good, Thank you, thank Yeah. 1914 01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:52,720 Speaker 1: And that's that's a fact. I had a question. But 1915 01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:54,719 Speaker 1: I also wanted to ask you guys if he didn't 1916 01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:57,639 Speaker 1: doew something else? Did all about the bet that Colin 1917 01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:01,920 Speaker 1: Coward made uh with another sports guy? Yeah, Nick Wright, 1918 01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:05,600 Speaker 1: the guy that's been down on the bills all year. 1919 01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:08,120 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to have the mustard and ketchum straight 1920 01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:12,000 Speaker 1: in the space this week. Yeah, just like Pento Ron. Yeah. Yeah. 1921 01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:15,400 Speaker 1: But my question is you were talking in the first 1922 01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:19,560 Speaker 1: hour about the idiosyncrasies of our stadium. I'm sure a 1923 01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:22,720 Speaker 1: stadium has them, including ch Do they have like an 1924 01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:26,000 Speaker 1: advanced team to kind of figure out what end savers 1925 01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,320 Speaker 1: want between the blah blah blah. Yeah, we were. We 1926 01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:32,080 Speaker 1: were talking earlier in the show, Steve and I about that. 1927 01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:35,080 Speaker 1: And the good news is this, Carl and again thanks 1928 01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:37,360 Speaker 1: for the calling the kind words. The good news is this. 1929 01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:42,280 Speaker 1: It's a very high walled stadium. It's at normal ground level. 1930 01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:44,960 Speaker 1: As we know of Bills, the Bill stadium is set 1931 01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:47,600 Speaker 1: below ground level, and so it's much easier for the 1932 01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:50,200 Speaker 1: wind to sweep over the top and into the stadium 1933 01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:53,200 Speaker 1: and create a swirling effect or a diagonal across from 1934 01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:55,320 Speaker 1: the visiting sideline to the home side line, which it 1935 01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:58,479 Speaker 1: tends to do going from scoreboard to tunnel end. But 1936 01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:01,320 Speaker 1: as Steve was talking about having played in that stadium 1937 01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:05,000 Speaker 1: before at Arrowhead, it's closed in all the way around. 1938 01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:07,960 Speaker 1: There is no open end to that stadium. It's very high. 1939 01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:10,839 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, the corners there are peaks, 1940 01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:13,719 Speaker 1: pointed peaks at the corner of each of that stadium. 1941 01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:16,280 Speaker 1: With the way it's constructed in the last ten years, 1942 01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:19,719 Speaker 1: they've also added an enormous press box that maybe one 1943 01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:25,559 Speaker 1: side that's very high, even higher with an ultra high 1944 01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:29,439 Speaker 1: press box that is an addition to the stadium that 1945 01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:32,240 Speaker 1: was originally built there. It's an enormous structure. On you 1946 01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:34,439 Speaker 1: feel like you're on top of the universe. Yeah, the game, 1947 01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:36,760 Speaker 1: it's pretty high. It's like looking at an ant hill 1948 01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:40,200 Speaker 1: from from that place. So it's a it's a tall stadium. 1949 01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:42,160 Speaker 1: I don't think the wind will be a factor. Temperature 1950 01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:45,360 Speaker 1: as always, yes, and of course the precipitation is an 1951 01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:48,320 Speaker 1: issue too, So I think potentially the biggest issue if 1952 01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:50,680 Speaker 1: it in fact does rain, as as the forecast is 1953 01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:53,880 Speaker 1: indicating fifty percent chance of rain on Sunday. Knowing it's 1954 01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:57,320 Speaker 1: a grass service surface this late in the season, Steve, 1955 01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:01,759 Speaker 1: it could get sloppy, right, Yeah, Kansas City has always 1956 01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:06,760 Speaker 1: had stellar grounds crews. You remember Chip Tooma and Uh 1957 01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:12,000 Speaker 1: the Sad God his dad, George Thoma. I was, I 1958 01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:13,760 Speaker 1: was very well acquainted with them when I played so 1959 01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:16,200 Speaker 1: the Kansasy Chiefs. That was their regular gig was the 1960 01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:19,720 Speaker 1: Chiefs facilities and the and the Royals facilities as well 1961 01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:23,720 Speaker 1: for that matter. So Chip and George Thoma uh were 1962 01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:26,639 Speaker 1: the were the guys there, and they take grid good 1963 01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:29,519 Speaker 1: care of it. And it has gone Arrowhead Stadium has 1964 01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:33,320 Speaker 1: gone from astro from grass to AstroTurf, back to grass, 1965 01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:35,679 Speaker 1: and maybe back to AstroTurf again and back to grass. 1966 01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:38,599 Speaker 1: I mean it's been both surfaces at different times during 1967 01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:41,920 Speaker 1: its career. Now it happens to be a natural surface. Um, 1968 01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:43,840 Speaker 1: they'll have it ready. And I noticed too in the 1969 01:44:43,920 --> 01:44:49,000 Speaker 1: Browns game they had sawed from outside from between the numbers. Basically, 1970 01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:52,360 Speaker 1: um was brand new, sawed down the middle of the field, 1971 01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:54,280 Speaker 1: so it had been torn up and they fixed it up. 1972 01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:55,800 Speaker 1: And what they do is you think, Wow, it's gonna 1973 01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:57,640 Speaker 1: be fresh, sage is gonna slide out. This isn't the 1974 01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,320 Speaker 1: sad you and I buy for our lawns. This saw 1975 01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:03,400 Speaker 1: this sawd is a foot thick. And they put that 1976 01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:05,240 Speaker 1: in there. It don't move once it's in there. And 1977 01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:07,120 Speaker 1: I don't just like lay it in there and nice. 1978 01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:09,320 Speaker 1: They put it in there and they push it in. 1979 01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:13,240 Speaker 1: They pack it in there so it's not loosen it 1980 01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:16,920 Speaker 1: up so they'll feel you'll feel fine, and it'll be 1981 01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:21,600 Speaker 1: tarped before the game. If it's raining. Yeah, yes, the 1982 01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:25,040 Speaker 1: tart that's just is it a big deal or not 1983 01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:27,920 Speaker 1: not so much? It doesn't help. It doesn't. No, you 1984 01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:32,320 Speaker 1: pull that tarp back. The ground's wet. You can't yeahs through. 1985 01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:36,000 Speaker 1: You don't think it's waterproof. You raise it up. It's 1986 01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,080 Speaker 1: just it's just as wet. And plus if they if 1987 01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 1: it's tarped, it's fine. If it's tarped ninety minutes before 1988 01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:44,320 Speaker 1: the game, they gotta untarpet. What if it starts raining 1989 01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:48,000 Speaker 1: if it's pouring seventy five minutes before the game, you know. 1990 01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:51,840 Speaker 1: So so it's a minor improvement to the condition. It 1991 01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:56,120 Speaker 1: keep cover from being ruined the day before. But yeah, 1992 01:45:56,160 --> 01:45:59,479 Speaker 1: you know, and plus these stadiums too, it will have 1993 01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:02,559 Speaker 1: a drain system in the natural grass that will pull 1994 01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:05,559 Speaker 1: that water out and like like they have a golf 1995 01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:08,240 Speaker 1: courses sometimes where they have a vacuum system. This is 1996 01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:11,640 Speaker 1: true perforated pipes that go all the way through it 1997 01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:14,000 Speaker 1: and it'll they'll turn a vacuum, it'll suck the water 1998 01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:16,559 Speaker 1: out of that ground to keep it, to keep it 1999 01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:19,800 Speaker 1: at the right level of Yeah, I know Overseese. I 2000 01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:23,439 Speaker 1: know overseas for a lot of the professional soccer leagues, 2001 01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:27,840 Speaker 1: like their season is basically August to May, like it's 2002 01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:30,599 Speaker 1: a ten month season. They play like thirty eight forty 2003 01:46:30,600 --> 01:46:34,679 Speaker 1: games over that span, and since you're going right through winter, 2004 01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:38,400 Speaker 1: they have heated coils under their fields so the ground 2005 01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:42,479 Speaker 1: doesn't freeze, right, same thing Chicago, a Soldier Field has that, 2006 01:46:42,880 --> 01:46:45,080 Speaker 1: and they do have that. Okay, Soldier Field has that, 2007 01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:47,960 Speaker 1: and I think I think Lambo has it as well, 2008 01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:50,320 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure about that. Yeah, there's some other 2009 01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:52,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know of too many NFL stadiums with natural 2010 01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:55,840 Speaker 1: surfaces that offered that. Yeah, the guy told me. The 2011 01:46:55,920 --> 01:46:57,880 Speaker 1: guy was giving me. You know, I got the Nickel 2012 01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:00,560 Speaker 1: tour from the Chicago guy when I was the sideline guy. 2013 01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:02,640 Speaker 1: He was telling me a little bit more than I 2014 01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:05,120 Speaker 1: really wanted to know. But you know, he's like, here 2015 01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:07,080 Speaker 1: it is, looks at you're using it now. Was very 2016 01:47:07,120 --> 01:47:08,800 Speaker 1: he was very lispert to this way. He was very 2017 01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:11,800 Speaker 1: proud of his field. Okay, I didn't have the heart 2018 01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:14,240 Speaker 1: to tell him it was a cracker box, shut up, 2019 01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:17,720 Speaker 1: but you know it was the way it goes that 2020 01:47:18,240 --> 01:47:20,640 Speaker 1: the field was the fields nice. I'm the field in 2021 01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:24,920 Speaker 1: Kansas City's gonna be nice. And by the way, Soldier Field, No, 2022 01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:30,479 Speaker 1: it's it's a horrible stadium.

If Green Bay 2028 01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:52,040 Speaker 1: wins the early game, then the Bills Chief game would 2029 01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:55,679 Speaker 1: be the same matchup to play Green Bay for Super 2030 01:47:55,720 --> 01:48:02,160 Speaker 1: Bowl number one. Good call. That's a good call. I 2031 01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:05,599 Speaker 1: tease my Kansas City friends. The difference in Super Bowl 2032 01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:09,559 Speaker 1: one is we would have beat Green Bay. But you 2033 01:48:09,600 --> 01:48:12,720 Speaker 1: know that goes without saying so kind of a kind 2034 01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:15,840 Speaker 1: of a cool little trivia. But there's a lot Listen. 2035 01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:18,559 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Bob, We've all lived full circle 2036 01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:21,360 Speaker 1: because if if the Bills win this, they'll be going 2037 01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:23,360 Speaker 1: back to the site of their first Super Bowl where 2038 01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:27,800 Speaker 1: they got beaten by the New York Giants, back to Tampa, 2039 01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:30,479 Speaker 1: and that stadium is no longer there, but they'll be 2040 01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:33,880 Speaker 1: playing the old Sombrero but now they'll be playing in 2041 01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:36,280 Speaker 1: Raymond James Stadium, So they'll be going back to the 2042 01:48:36,360 --> 01:48:39,160 Speaker 1: side of their first Super Bowl appearance where they began 2043 01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:43,800 Speaker 1: their run of losing four straight Super Bowls. Yeah, that's that. 2044 01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:45,920 Speaker 1: There's something about that as well. And it's twenty five 2045 01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:49,960 Speaker 1: years since the last time it was Super Bowl twenty five, 2046 01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:52,160 Speaker 1: and it's been twenty five years since the last time 2047 01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,800 Speaker 1: the Bills I had won a playoff game until this year. 2048 01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:58,679 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's a lot of a lot of full 2049 01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:01,800 Speaker 1: circle stories um in this mix with with these four 2050 01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:04,320 Speaker 1: teams in the in the playoffs. Yeah, no question about it. 2051 01:49:04,360 --> 01:49:07,400 Speaker 1: We go back to the phones and up next here 2052 01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:09,559 Speaker 1: is Dave and Rochester. Dave, what do you have for us? 2053 01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:13,360 Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, thanks for taking my call. Guys, 2054 01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,760 Speaker 1: like listening to you as much as I can. Um, 2055 01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm just calling about this Mahomes injury. UM. I agree, 2056 01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:23,439 Speaker 1: you know, the Chiefs are still incredibly good if he's 2057 01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:26,960 Speaker 1: not playing. Um, but I just want to you know, 2058 01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:29,240 Speaker 1: I think I need to as a doctor, I think 2059 01:49:29,240 --> 01:49:31,599 Speaker 1: I need to clear something that I heard about this, 2060 01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:34,920 Speaker 1: this pinching of his nerve. Uh. There's only one nerve 2061 01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:36,880 Speaker 1: that when you get pinched, makes you walk like that, 2062 01:49:37,439 --> 01:49:40,760 Speaker 1: and that's your spinal cord. Uh. So I don't think 2063 01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:43,200 Speaker 1: we should this this. You know, this injury can be 2064 01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:45,760 Speaker 1: written off as some simple nerve pinch in his neck, 2065 01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:49,320 Speaker 1: you know, like it is right now, because you know, 2066 01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:51,240 Speaker 1: I think it could be something worse than than what 2067 01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:52,960 Speaker 1: we're hearing right now. Well, here's the thing you got 2068 01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:54,960 Speaker 1: to know, Dave, And you're right, and I hope you know. 2069 01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna doubt your veracity of your credentials. I'll 2070 01:49:58,320 --> 01:50:03,200 Speaker 1: say this. Yeah, the the limit And here's and here's 2071 01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:07,599 Speaker 1: the rule. If it's not a concussion, and I hate 2072 01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:09,200 Speaker 1: to say it this way, if it's not a concussion, 2073 01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:14,360 Speaker 1: nobody cares. Yeah, the he'll just play. Um what about 2074 01:50:14,520 --> 01:50:16,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you could speak to this, 2075 01:50:16,640 --> 01:50:19,280 Speaker 1: but you know, you often see the boxers, you know, 2076 01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:21,640 Speaker 1: they have that nerve that gets hit and it just 2077 01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:24,960 Speaker 1: kind of triggers lights out, you know, on knockouts, technical knockouts, 2078 01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:27,040 Speaker 1: what have you. Are we dealing with anything similar in 2079 01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:29,920 Speaker 1: that fashion? You think? So? I mean, I hear people 2080 01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:33,400 Speaker 1: talking about the brachial plexus, but you know that's that's 2081 01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:36,000 Speaker 1: outside of your spinal cord. You know, that's that's up 2082 01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:38,960 Speaker 1: you know, near your shoulder. You know, it's outside of 2083 01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:41,120 Speaker 1: the central part. You know what he got says chain 2084 01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:43,679 Speaker 1: got put to his chest, so it's sort of stretched. 2085 01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:45,640 Speaker 1: To me, the first thing I saw, That's what I 2086 01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:47,040 Speaker 1: was talking about. The first thing I saw is oh 2087 01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:48,920 Speaker 1: my god. You know, it looked like he hyperflects his 2088 01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:51,439 Speaker 1: neck and he's probably because he pinched his spinal cord. 2089 01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:53,439 Speaker 1: So that's what I was thinking the whole time. Um, 2090 01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:56,240 Speaker 1: and you know it sure it went away. So you know, 2091 01:50:56,280 --> 01:50:58,160 Speaker 1: it seems like it's really mild. But the question is, 2092 01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:00,200 Speaker 1: you know, why did that happen to him? Yeah, and 2093 01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:02,519 Speaker 1: I'm and I worked that up. And last one I 2094 01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:04,000 Speaker 1: got for you because I don't want to be the 2095 01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:06,760 Speaker 1: doctor playing a doctor on the radio. Is there a 2096 01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:09,439 Speaker 1: swelling risk? There? Is that? What has to be monitored 2097 01:51:09,479 --> 01:51:12,080 Speaker 1: now or what? So? So you know they're gonna get 2098 01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:14,479 Speaker 1: an mrisn't that guy? Bet um? And they you know, 2099 01:51:14,479 --> 01:51:16,680 Speaker 1: they'd see if there is any sort of swelling or 2100 01:51:16,680 --> 01:51:20,320 Speaker 1: adma or you know, ematoma, bruising, stuff like that. So 2101 01:51:20,320 --> 01:51:22,200 Speaker 1: it's all stuff they'll be looking for. But you know, 2102 01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:23,920 Speaker 1: if he's running up the field, it looks like he 2103 01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:26,120 Speaker 1: bounced back pretty quick, so you know, hopefully it's mild. 2104 01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:27,479 Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to sink I get injured. 2105 01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:30,360 Speaker 1: But what is that? Would would a would a condition, 2106 01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:33,839 Speaker 1: a pre existing condition like spinal stenosis have an effect 2107 01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:37,360 Speaker 1: on that? Exactly? Yep, exactly. Some you know, some people 2108 01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:40,680 Speaker 1: who get this, they have predisposed they have spinal stenosis 2109 01:51:40,680 --> 01:51:44,400 Speaker 1: and um, you know, honestly people have retired from the 2110 01:51:44,479 --> 01:51:46,840 Speaker 1: NFL for having stuff like this. I know they have. 2111 01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:49,400 Speaker 1: I know, I know A question. All right, good call Dave. 2112 01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:53,320 Speaker 1: We appreciate and the insight on that that was very helpful. 2113 01:51:53,479 --> 01:51:56,840 Speaker 1: What happens spinal stenosis is a condition where some people 2114 01:51:56,920 --> 01:52:00,360 Speaker 1: have a spinal column where they're skeleton, they're they're very debray, 2115 01:52:00,439 --> 01:52:05,080 Speaker 1: have a smaller passed through for the narrowing of the 2116 01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:08,200 Speaker 1: cavity for the spinal cord right all your spinal cord, 2117 01:52:08,240 --> 01:52:10,519 Speaker 1: the fat and all the nerves and stuff that go 2118 01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:14,400 Speaker 1: up through your spinal cord. Stenosis means that opening is 2119 01:52:14,439 --> 01:52:17,080 Speaker 1: smaller in your vertebrae than it would be in a 2120 01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:21,160 Speaker 1: normal person your size and a lot of player and 2121 01:52:21,240 --> 01:52:26,240 Speaker 1: the fear is of is obvious if you get injured. 2122 01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:31,320 Speaker 1: There is less margin of error if something happens to 2123 01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:34,360 Speaker 1: your spine, so that it's a it's a great and 2124 01:52:34,520 --> 01:52:36,880 Speaker 1: great it's thought to be a much greater risk for 2125 01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:39,400 Speaker 1: a spinal injury, and nobody wants anything like that to 2126 01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:43,160 Speaker 1: happen to anybody, the paralysis and the ongoing issues from it. 2127 01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:47,320 Speaker 1: The guy and I'll give you an example that when 2128 01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:48,880 Speaker 1: I was drafted in the nineteen eighty five by the 2129 01:52:48,920 --> 01:52:50,960 Speaker 1: Houston Oilers, one of the other guys in my draft 2130 01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:54,560 Speaker 1: class was a guy named Frank Bush. The linebacker I 2131 01:52:54,600 --> 01:52:56,680 Speaker 1: couldn't even I can't even remember which college he came 2132 01:52:56,720 --> 01:53:00,200 Speaker 1: out of, accept that he got injured a little bit. 2133 01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:03,280 Speaker 1: Found out he had snows as he retired after his 2134 01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:07,120 Speaker 1: either during or after his rookie season. He retired right 2135 01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:10,240 Speaker 1: after they found it. He's now the guy that was 2136 01:53:10,280 --> 01:53:13,160 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator this season for the Jets, as if 2137 01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:15,880 Speaker 1: he were well acquainted. Frank and I are friends. I 2138 01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:18,360 Speaker 1: get an email from him every morning, an encouraging email 2139 01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:21,479 Speaker 1: every morning from him. Kill in my email. Um. He 2140 01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:24,400 Speaker 1: his his career was ended by spinal stenosis and he 2141 01:53:24,439 --> 01:53:27,000 Speaker 1: walked away from a game that you know. He began 2142 01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:28,840 Speaker 1: coaching from that point and he's been in the coaching 2143 01:53:28,920 --> 01:53:30,800 Speaker 1: as long as I've been doing what I'm doing. So 2144 01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:34,960 Speaker 1: it's a real thing. I don't think I would be 2145 01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:38,480 Speaker 1: surprised if they haven't begun to test for spinal stenosis 2146 01:53:38,479 --> 01:53:43,720 Speaker 1: at the Combine and things like that every every way 2147 01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:46,760 Speaker 1: to Sunday at the Combine, the medical exam check. If 2148 01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:48,400 Speaker 1: you're going to take a guy in the first round 2149 01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:50,439 Speaker 1: of quarterback in the first round. I just looked it up. 2150 01:53:50,439 --> 01:53:52,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he suffers from that condition. You're going 2151 01:53:52,280 --> 01:53:54,640 Speaker 1: to find out if he had it. So while it 2152 01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:57,960 Speaker 1: is an unfortunate injury, and it's easy for people to 2153 01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:01,439 Speaker 1: go whoof it's not a concussion. Um, still not good. 2154 01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:02,800 Speaker 1: And I say, I said earlier in the show, you 2155 01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:05,439 Speaker 1: gotta tip your hat to these guys. They're playing along, 2156 01:54:05,479 --> 01:54:07,920 Speaker 1: they're having fun, having the time of their lives playing 2157 01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:10,840 Speaker 1: the pro football and all of a sudden, you know, 2158 01:54:10,920 --> 01:54:13,160 Speaker 1: it can go away quick. Alex Smith at the Alex 2159 01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:17,920 Speaker 1: Smith injury. That Ryan Shazier for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Um, 2160 01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:26,600 Speaker 1: all of those things happen career prematurely. Yeah, yeah, Darryl Stingley, 2161 01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:30,120 Speaker 1: all of them. Uh, Richard Bird, Dennis Bird, Dennis Bird, 2162 01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:34,880 Speaker 1: not Richard Richard was another draft plate, Okay, yeah, Richard Bird. 2163 01:54:35,520 --> 01:54:39,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, so yeah it's Dennis Bird, Dennis Bird. Yeah, 2164 01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:41,480 Speaker 1: uh yeah. So I gotta tip my hat to these guys. 2165 01:54:41,480 --> 01:54:43,360 Speaker 1: It's not a joke. And we take it so much 2166 01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:47,560 Speaker 1: for granted. And then and I know it's Pat mahon 2167 01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:50,520 Speaker 1: human being. Yeah, and it's it's fast. So and it's 2168 01:54:50,520 --> 01:54:52,960 Speaker 1: the weirdest things that can happen to your body. So 2169 01:54:53,680 --> 01:54:56,640 Speaker 1: but I think, you know, I think we all deep down, 2170 01:54:56,680 --> 01:54:58,520 Speaker 1: I think, gosh, I hope nothing's wrong with him. Yeah, 2171 01:54:58,680 --> 01:55:00,680 Speaker 1: and I hope the game goes off, and I you know, 2172 01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:02,440 Speaker 1: you want the Bills to beat him at their at 2173 01:55:02,440 --> 01:55:05,680 Speaker 1: their best.

And maybe there's a little postgame euphoria 2202 01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:34,120 Speaker 1: here on the part of Dion Dawkins, but I think 2203 01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:37,360 Speaker 1: all of it is genuine, and I think fans that 2204 01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:43,160 Speaker 1: didn't hear its deserve hearing Deon dawkins encapsulation of how 2205 01:56:43,200 --> 01:56:47,200 Speaker 1: effective the fans were in their efforts in the win 2206 01:56:47,440 --> 01:56:51,800 Speaker 1: on Saturday night.

Yeah, 2256 01:59:47,520 --> 01:59:50,520 Speaker 1: and it's it's obviously challenged Maddie as well to come 2257 01:59:50,560 --> 01:59:52,880 Speaker 1: up with new and interesting categories each and every week too. 2258 01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:55,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's not like it's the same thing every week. 2259 01:59:55,680 --> 01:59:58,960 Speaker 1: So we're really pushing the boundaries of Maddie's creativity here. 2260 01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:02,800 Speaker 1: The team is as well, So let's begin here, Maddie. 2261 02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:07,720 Speaker 1: Game changer, let's just start with a bang. I mean, 2262 02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:10,920 Speaker 1: let's start with a bang. The game changer was Taron 2263 02:00:11,040 --> 02:00:14,320 Speaker 1: Johnson's pick six when the Ravens had a chance to 2264 02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:16,720 Speaker 1: tie it on third end goal. And the thing I 2265 02:00:16,800 --> 02:00:20,480 Speaker 1: loved about this was Taron Johnson's position. The position that 2266 02:00:20,560 --> 02:00:23,560 Speaker 1: he took was perfect, baiting the quarterback knowing what was 2267 02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:26,960 Speaker 1: coming stepping into the passing line at the right time 2268 02:00:27,040 --> 02:00:29,680 Speaker 1: and taking it all the way to the house. That 2269 02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:32,320 Speaker 1: was part of a fifteen play drive that could have 2270 02:00:32,360 --> 02:00:36,080 Speaker 1: resulted in a touchdown, but Tarn Johnson said, nope, I'm 2271 02:00:36,120 --> 02:00:38,680 Speaker 1: going to take it to the other side and score. 2272 02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:43,400 Speaker 1: Next Gen Stats said that he reached over twenty miles 2273 02:00:43,440 --> 02:00:47,800 Speaker 1: per hour. Next Gen Stats also said Justin Zimmer reached 2274 02:00:47,880 --> 02:00:51,280 Speaker 1: eighteen point four or five miles per hour. A defensive 2275 02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:55,240 Speaker 1: lineman running over eighteen miles per hour. That is crazy. 2276 02:00:55,600 --> 02:00:57,760 Speaker 1: Also shout out to Trey White for being there to 2277 02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:01,839 Speaker 1: block and open up the lane for Tarn Johnson the score. 2278 02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:04,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Tarn Johnson is a fourth rounder out of 2279 02:01:04,800 --> 02:01:08,720 Speaker 1: Weeber State. It doesn't matter who you are on this team, 2280 02:01:09,160 --> 02:01:12,800 Speaker 1: where you're from, what round you came from. Leslie Fraser 2281 02:01:12,880 --> 02:01:15,720 Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott are going to get the most out 2282 02:01:15,760 --> 02:01:17,880 Speaker 1: of you. And we've seen it in Tarn Johnson in 2283 02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:20,800 Speaker 1: the second half of the season, his second pick six 2284 02:01:21,000 --> 02:01:24,680 Speaker 1: of the year. He won that game for and he 2285 02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:27,880 Speaker 1: said that Lamar never saw him. He's like, I know, 2286 02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:30,200 Speaker 1: Lamar never saw me. He said, I just kind of 2287 02:01:30,200 --> 02:01:32,840 Speaker 1: followed his eyes. Eyes took me to where the ball 2288 02:01:32,880 --> 02:01:34,560 Speaker 1: was going to be. But he didn't. But he didn't 2289 02:01:34,560 --> 02:01:37,640 Speaker 1: see me, and we see the results of that. I 2290 02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:40,560 Speaker 1: think Steve and I are maybe most impressed, Maddie with 2291 02:01:40,600 --> 02:01:42,680 Speaker 1: the speed of Justin Zimmer. That might be the biggest 2292 02:01:42,720 --> 02:01:45,440 Speaker 1: takeaway from from that award there. I mean that is 2293 02:01:45,680 --> 02:01:50,800 Speaker 1: that's stupid, Steve. That kids, that's pretty fast. Eighteen miles 2294 02:01:50,840 --> 02:01:55,520 Speaker 1: an hour tackle eighteen miles an hour. Only Aaron Donald 2295 02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:59,280 Speaker 1: ran faster this year from a play starting at the 2296 02:01:59,400 --> 02:02:02,520 Speaker 1: line of screw for defensive lineman. Jen Stats was able 2297 02:02:02,520 --> 02:02:05,560 Speaker 1: to record for defensive lineman. You're talking about, like Aaron 2298 02:02:05,560 --> 02:02:09,680 Speaker 1: Donald's the only guy there's defensive tackles. Yes, defensive tackles. Wow, 2299 02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:12,880 Speaker 1: that's awesome. Now I'm really impressed. All right, that's awesome. 2300 02:02:13,360 --> 02:02:15,000 Speaker 1: He was hanging open with that one. That was a 2301 02:02:15,160 --> 02:02:19,839 Speaker 1: juicy stat. That's that was good. Oh. I enjoyed that thoroughly. 2302 02:02:20,240 --> 02:02:22,240 Speaker 1: Got You gotta give it up to the big guys 2303 02:02:22,280 --> 02:02:24,240 Speaker 1: once in a while, right, come on, I'm all about 2304 02:02:24,280 --> 02:02:27,840 Speaker 1: the big guys. Oh yeah, yeah, So all right, who's 2305 02:02:27,840 --> 02:02:33,480 Speaker 1: that's the defensive playa what about the offensive MVP? So 2306 02:02:33,600 --> 02:02:37,240 Speaker 1: the offensive MVP, I'm giving it to Stefan Diggs. We've 2307 02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:41,120 Speaker 1: given him this award probably a countless number of times 2308 02:02:41,160 --> 02:02:44,520 Speaker 1: this season, but he had back to back touchdown receptions 2309 02:02:44,640 --> 02:02:47,480 Speaker 1: in playoff games. It's the first time Buffalo Bill has 2310 02:02:47,480 --> 02:02:51,120 Speaker 1: done that since Thurman Thomas in nineteen ninety six. He 2311 02:02:51,320 --> 02:02:54,680 Speaker 1: continues to break records as a Buffalo Bill. He's the 2312 02:02:54,760 --> 02:02:58,720 Speaker 1: third Bill with multiple one hundred yard performances in the playoffs. 2313 02:02:58,720 --> 02:03:00,920 Speaker 1: He had eight catches for hunry six yards and a 2314 02:03:00,960 --> 02:03:04,840 Speaker 1: touchdown reception. He is the first ever wide receiver who's 2315 02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:08,920 Speaker 1: had seventeen games with six or more catches. That's a 2316 02:03:08,960 --> 02:03:12,400 Speaker 1: pretty incredible stat right there. His ability to get open 2317 02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:15,640 Speaker 1: when it's not easy is unmatched. He was going up 2318 02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:21,240 Speaker 1: against talented corners, a talented secondary, and Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters. 2319 02:03:21,280 --> 02:03:23,720 Speaker 1: He would not be denied. He's still found a way 2320 02:03:23,800 --> 02:03:27,200 Speaker 1: to get open make catches. He was the difference maker 2321 02:03:27,280 --> 02:03:30,240 Speaker 1: on this offense. We knew the offense struggle to move 2322 02:03:30,280 --> 02:03:32,560 Speaker 1: the ball down the field in the first half of 2323 02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:36,600 Speaker 1: the game, but Stefan Diggs was their answer the entire evening. 2324 02:03:36,960 --> 02:03:39,960 Speaker 1: Him and John Brown did a great job of being 2325 02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:44,839 Speaker 1: able to when they needed to make catches and finally 2326 02:03:44,880 --> 02:03:47,800 Speaker 1: get into the end zone that one time during the game. 2327 02:03:48,360 --> 02:03:51,600 Speaker 1: He was the answer on that offense, and he will 2328 02:03:51,680 --> 02:03:54,360 Speaker 1: be the answer on that offense next game. When we 2329 02:03:54,480 --> 02:03:59,760 Speaker 1: played the Kansas City Chiefs, of Josh Allen's twenty three 2330 02:04:00,000 --> 02:04:03,160 Speaker 1: completions went to Stefande's or John Brown. I mean, they 2331 02:04:03,160 --> 02:04:07,200 Speaker 1: really were the bulk of the passing game on Saturday night. Okay, 2332 02:04:07,200 --> 02:04:11,880 Speaker 1: flip it around defensive MVP, Maddie. All Right, this is 2333 02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:15,400 Speaker 1: going to two things, one person and kind of the 2334 02:04:15,440 --> 02:04:19,160 Speaker 1: game plan here. Leslie Frasier's game plan is getting defensive 2335 02:04:19,320 --> 02:04:22,560 Speaker 1: MVP for me, and Jerry Hughes is getting that award 2336 02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:25,720 Speaker 1: as well. In the last two games that the Bills 2337 02:04:25,800 --> 02:04:29,200 Speaker 1: played against the Ravens, they have held Lamar Jackson to 2338 02:04:29,320 --> 02:04:33,160 Speaker 1: just seventy four rushing yards. This does not happen if 2339 02:04:33,160 --> 02:04:36,760 Speaker 1: you don't have a perfect game plan like Leslie Frasier 2340 02:04:36,840 --> 02:04:41,040 Speaker 1: had Saturday night. It was magic. They applied pressure to 2341 02:04:41,120 --> 02:04:43,920 Speaker 1: a quarterback who is so good on his feet, and 2342 02:04:44,000 --> 02:04:46,960 Speaker 1: you think, why would you blitz a quarterback who can 2343 02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:49,600 Speaker 1: just run out of the pocket. Well, the game plan worked. 2344 02:04:49,960 --> 02:04:53,040 Speaker 1: The Bills blitzed forty one and a half percent. According 2345 02:04:53,040 --> 02:04:56,000 Speaker 1: to the next GM stats. They sacked Lamar four times, 2346 02:04:56,040 --> 02:04:58,960 Speaker 1: they had eight quarterback hits. They limited him to just 2347 02:04:59,040 --> 02:05:03,040 Speaker 1: thirty four rushing yards. He averaged under four yards per carry. 2348 02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:05,280 Speaker 1: They held the rushing offense to one hundred and fifty 2349 02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:08,400 Speaker 1: yards when they had two hundred or more rushing yards 2350 02:05:08,400 --> 02:05:12,520 Speaker 1: and the prior three games. And Jerry Hughes dialed up 2351 02:05:12,560 --> 02:05:15,960 Speaker 1: that pressure all night long, having two sacks led the 2352 02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:19,240 Speaker 1: team with a team high seven pressures. He got to 2353 02:05:19,280 --> 02:05:23,400 Speaker 1: the quarterback, he was a problem for Lamar. The defense 2354 02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:26,879 Speaker 1: played a remarkable game, and it was because of Leslie 2355 02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:30,520 Speaker 1: Frasier's game plan and that week of practice leading up 2356 02:05:30,520 --> 02:05:33,360 Speaker 1: to the game, and that was you're right, it was 2357 02:05:33,400 --> 02:05:35,960 Speaker 1: something to see. And the fact that you know, they 2358 02:05:35,960 --> 02:05:39,600 Speaker 1: could keep the Baltimore Ravens to three points, I think 2359 02:05:39,680 --> 02:05:42,360 Speaker 1: is the story of the weekend for that game and 2360 02:05:42,400 --> 02:05:44,600 Speaker 1: maybe maybe the rest of the games as well. What 2361 02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:48,480 Speaker 1: about your what about around the league? Your next man 2362 02:05:48,640 --> 02:05:52,720 Speaker 1: Up award? All right, we're gonna go around the league here, now, 2363 02:05:52,880 --> 02:05:56,240 Speaker 1: next man up. How about Chad Henny and what he 2364 02:05:56,320 --> 02:05:59,960 Speaker 1: was able to do for the Chiefs. He wasn't remarkable 2365 02:06:00,240 --> 02:06:03,919 Speaker 1: in any ways, but he won the game for the Chiefs. 2366 02:06:03,920 --> 02:06:07,840 Speaker 1: Sent them to the AFC Championship game. Just when we 2367 02:06:07,920 --> 02:06:10,480 Speaker 1: all thought the Browns could totally run away with this 2368 02:06:10,520 --> 02:06:14,120 Speaker 1: game because Patrick Mahomes came out and entered concussion protocol, 2369 02:06:14,520 --> 02:06:17,640 Speaker 1: I was deadly wrong. I thought Cleveland was going to 2370 02:06:17,640 --> 02:06:19,720 Speaker 1: find a way to win it. But Chad Henney, in 2371 02:06:19,760 --> 02:06:23,320 Speaker 1: his first playoff preference ever in his thirteen year career, 2372 02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:27,720 Speaker 1: goes six of eight sixty sixty yards, had that third 2373 02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:31,480 Speaker 1: and fourteen which he almost converted on his own, and 2374 02:06:31,600 --> 02:06:35,320 Speaker 1: that final drive that the Chiefs had with four minutes 2375 02:06:35,400 --> 02:06:36,880 Speaker 1: left to go in the game. They had a five 2376 02:06:36,960 --> 02:06:39,400 Speaker 1: point lead. It was enough time for the Browns to 2377 02:06:39,440 --> 02:06:41,240 Speaker 1: have one more drive, but the Chiefs were able to 2378 02:06:41,320 --> 02:06:44,480 Speaker 1: hold onto the ball. Chad Henny converted a third and four, 2379 02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:47,160 Speaker 1: almost the third and fourteen that I just talked about, 2380 02:06:47,280 --> 02:06:49,600 Speaker 1: and a fourth and one, which is a short pass 2381 02:06:49,680 --> 02:06:52,800 Speaker 1: to Tyreek Hill. He's going to go down as a 2382 02:06:52,960 --> 02:06:55,880 Speaker 1: legend for the Kansas City Chiefs if he never plays 2383 02:06:55,920 --> 02:07:02,840 Speaker 1: another game. Quiet weapons, man, this is an interesting one. Yeah, 2384 02:07:02,880 --> 02:07:07,280 Speaker 1: some quiet weapons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their 2385 02:07:07,320 --> 02:07:10,320 Speaker 1: win over the Saints. It wasn't the big names who 2386 02:07:10,360 --> 02:07:13,640 Speaker 1: balled out through Tampa Bay. It was people who normally 2387 02:07:13,680 --> 02:07:16,840 Speaker 1: don't pop off on the stat sheet. No Antonio Brown, no, 2388 02:07:17,160 --> 02:07:21,120 Speaker 1: no Mike Evans, no Gronk. It was the Harvard tight end, 2389 02:07:21,160 --> 02:07:24,600 Speaker 1: Cameron Breit and Leonard Fournette. And Leonard Fournette. Yes, he 2390 02:07:24,640 --> 02:07:28,240 Speaker 1: has had some great seasons in the NFL, but what 2391 02:07:28,360 --> 02:07:31,360 Speaker 1: he did in the receiving end of the game was 2392 02:07:31,960 --> 02:07:35,760 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. He had five catches for forty four yards, 2393 02:07:35,840 --> 02:07:39,640 Speaker 1: had seventeen carries for sixty three yards, had at receiving touchdown. 2394 02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,760 Speaker 1: The most receiving yards he had in a regular season 2395 02:07:42,880 --> 02:07:47,680 Speaker 1: before this game was six receiving yards. So Tom Brady 2396 02:07:47,760 --> 02:07:51,360 Speaker 1: found his answers with guys who usually aren't as involved 2397 02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:54,840 Speaker 1: in the game plan, a tight end from Harvard and 2398 02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:58,800 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournett. And I was watching Good Morning Football this morning, 2399 02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:02,520 Speaker 1: and they called that offense, that Tampa Bay offense, a 2400 02:08:02,680 --> 02:08:06,600 Speaker 1: patriot looking offense with how they used all of those 2401 02:08:06,640 --> 02:08:09,280 Speaker 1: players and how they found people to score that weren't 2402 02:08:09,320 --> 02:08:13,120 Speaker 1: necessarily their big name guys. So look out, Buffalo Bills, 2403 02:08:13,200 --> 02:08:16,960 Speaker 1: because we could potentially be playing this team if they 2404 02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:19,800 Speaker 1: beat the Packers and we beat the Chiefs. Yeah, you know, 2405 02:08:19,840 --> 02:08:21,560 Speaker 1: if the Saints won that game, you might have still 2406 02:08:21,600 --> 02:08:23,800 Speaker 1: been able to do a Quiet Weapons Award because Trey 2407 02:08:23,840 --> 02:08:26,680 Speaker 1: Kwon Smith had both touchdowns for the Saints, and that's 2408 02:08:26,720 --> 02:08:31,440 Speaker 1: another Central Florida product, just like Gabriel Davis. Right, Yeah, yep. 2409 02:08:31,760 --> 02:08:34,640 Speaker 1: Definitely love seeing guys who don't have big names make 2410 02:08:34,680 --> 02:08:37,720 Speaker 1: big time plays in the playoffs, just like Tarn Johnson. 2411 02:08:37,760 --> 02:08:39,560 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a big name for us as well, 2412 02:08:39,600 --> 02:08:42,440 Speaker 1: but a lot of people around the NFL don't necessarily 2413 02:08:42,480 --> 02:08:44,400 Speaker 1: know his name like we do. The next award, I 2414 02:08:44,400 --> 02:08:46,560 Speaker 1: got it. I like it. It's called it. You asked 2415 02:08:46,560 --> 02:08:49,360 Speaker 1: for it. Award who gets this is delicious? Is great? 2416 02:08:50,440 --> 02:08:53,400 Speaker 1: You asked for it, Nick Wright, you asked for it. 2417 02:08:53,440 --> 02:08:56,200 Speaker 1: You've been asking for it all season long. This is 2418 02:08:56,240 --> 02:08:59,920 Speaker 1: the one remaining Josh Allen hater. He does not believe 2419 02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:02,960 Speaker 1: even Josh Allen's ability. He does not believe in the 2420 02:09:03,000 --> 02:09:06,120 Speaker 1: Bill's ability to succeed. He didn't think the Bills were 2421 02:09:06,200 --> 02:09:10,280 Speaker 1: going to beat on Saturday Night. He didn't think we 2422 02:09:10,280 --> 02:09:13,600 Speaker 1: were gonna win against the Ravens. Beat the Ravens. But 2423 02:09:13,760 --> 02:09:16,200 Speaker 1: he was wrong. He was completely wrong, and he's been 2424 02:09:16,240 --> 02:09:20,040 Speaker 1: wrong about Josh Allen all season long, and he admitted it. 2425 02:09:20,400 --> 02:09:23,880 Speaker 1: Usually he just takes to Twitter and takes to the 2426 02:09:23,920 --> 02:09:27,320 Speaker 1: airwaves to just keep putting out the Josh Allen hate 2427 02:09:27,360 --> 02:09:29,680 Speaker 1: and telling everybody that the Bills aren't good and that 2428 02:09:29,800 --> 02:09:33,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is going to lose the game because he's 2429 02:09:33,040 --> 02:09:34,760 Speaker 1: not a good quarterback. Will you know what? He was 2430 02:09:34,800 --> 02:09:38,280 Speaker 1: wrong and he admitted it on Twitter finally, and because 2431 02:09:38,360 --> 02:09:40,960 Speaker 1: he was wrong, he is going to get according to 2432 02:09:41,040 --> 02:09:45,400 Speaker 1: his words, Pinto rod On on The Herd, the Show 2433 02:09:45,400 --> 02:09:49,720 Speaker 1: with Colin Cowherd on Wednesday at twelve thirty. So if 2434 02:09:49,720 --> 02:09:52,920 Speaker 1: anybody has that channel, if anybody wants to tune in, 2435 02:09:53,080 --> 02:09:56,800 Speaker 1: that should be pretty interesting and funny because Nick Wright 2436 02:09:56,920 --> 02:10:00,240 Speaker 1: admitted that I thought I thought he was insane when 2437 02:10:00,240 --> 02:10:03,000 Speaker 1: he took the bet because he bet Colin Cowherd that 2438 02:10:03,120 --> 02:10:07,440 Speaker 1: the Bills wouldn't win a playoff game, not two, just one. 2439 02:10:07,600 --> 02:10:10,200 Speaker 1: And I'm just like, dude, you are off your rocker, man, 2440 02:10:10,400 --> 02:10:14,000 Speaker 1: you are like crazy to be But I'm glad. I'm 2441 02:10:14,040 --> 02:10:17,160 Speaker 1: glad that his own Hubris is going to have him 2442 02:10:17,160 --> 02:10:21,160 Speaker 1: covered in condiments very soon. That'll be delicious. I will 2443 02:10:21,240 --> 02:10:24,560 Speaker 1: enjoy that thoroughly. All Right, last one, Three wise men? 2444 02:10:26,200 --> 02:10:28,680 Speaker 1: All right, the three wise men. We're gonna keep talking 2445 02:10:28,720 --> 02:10:31,560 Speaker 1: about running backs. Already talked about Leonard for Thatt. How 2446 02:10:31,600 --> 02:10:35,480 Speaker 1: about the running backs for the Green Bay Packers. Aaron 2447 02:10:35,560 --> 02:10:37,760 Speaker 1: Rodgers had a great game, of course in the air, 2448 02:10:38,040 --> 02:10:40,400 Speaker 1: but they had a really great game on the ground 2449 02:10:40,600 --> 02:10:44,600 Speaker 1: against a defense that raped third against the run. The 2450 02:10:44,720 --> 02:10:48,000 Speaker 1: Rams were allowing only ninety one point three rushing yards 2451 02:10:48,040 --> 02:10:51,240 Speaker 1: a game during the regular season. Well, Green Bay wrapped 2452 02:10:51,320 --> 02:10:53,640 Speaker 1: up one hundred and eighty eight yards on the ground. 2453 02:10:53,760 --> 02:10:56,520 Speaker 1: It was Aaron Jones who had ninety nine rushing yards 2454 02:10:56,520 --> 02:11:00,240 Speaker 1: off of fourteen carries. AJ Dillon had twenty seven, Maul 2455 02:11:00,280 --> 02:11:03,720 Speaker 1: Williams had sixty five. The group average six yards a 2456 02:11:03,920 --> 02:11:07,160 Speaker 1: carry versus a really good run defense. So these are 2457 02:11:07,280 --> 02:11:10,880 Speaker 1: some running backs to look out for next week as 2458 02:11:10,960 --> 02:11:14,040 Speaker 1: we see Tampa Bay and the Packers take each other 2459 02:11:14,080 --> 02:11:18,480 Speaker 1: OUTA Packers offense looks machine like it's it's scary. Yes, 2460 02:11:18,840 --> 02:11:21,440 Speaker 1: twenty three to thirty six. Rit Roger and their defense 2461 02:11:21,520 --> 02:11:24,600 Speaker 1: I think is underrated. I mean Preston Smith and Zadarius Smith. 2462 02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:26,920 Speaker 1: Those two guys as a combo on that defense. Man, 2463 02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:32,040 Speaker 1: they're tough. Thanks Maddie, no problem, guys, have good rest 2464 02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:34,080 Speaker 1: of the show. All right, we have to get to 2465 02:11:34,120 --> 02:11:36,760 Speaker 1: the break. But we will come back to close up 2466 02:11:36,880 --> 02:11:40,960 Speaker 1: a Bills victory Monday edition of one Bills Live with 2467 02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:43,800 Speaker 1: what have we learned? Stay tuned, We'll be all right 2468 02:11:43,840 --> 02:12:02,120 Speaker 1: back time for or what have we learned from today's show? 2469 02:12:02,240 --> 02:12:05,480 Speaker 1: Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental 2470 02:12:05,520 --> 02:12:09,520 Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. And this has just been 2471 02:12:09,520 --> 02:12:13,800 Speaker 1: reported in the last half hour. Aaron Wilson, an NFL 2472 02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:16,680 Speaker 1: reporter down in Houston, covers the Texans, but has covered 2473 02:12:16,680 --> 02:12:19,960 Speaker 1: the league for a long time. He just tweeted Buffalo 2474 02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:23,200 Speaker 1: Bills offensive coordinator Brian Dable will remain with the team 2475 02:12:23,800 --> 02:12:26,840 Speaker 1: after the Chargers job went to Brandon Staley. According to 2476 02:12:26,920 --> 02:12:30,480 Speaker 1: league sources, Dable, the architect of the Bills offense headlined 2477 02:12:30,520 --> 02:12:32,600 Speaker 1: by Josh Allen, will be one of the top head 2478 02:12:32,600 --> 02:12:37,560 Speaker 1: coaching candidates again in twenty twenty two. So looks like 2479 02:12:37,600 --> 02:12:41,040 Speaker 1: Brian Dable is in fact staying put according to reports. 2480 02:12:41,080 --> 02:12:43,040 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of us felt that once 2481 02:12:43,120 --> 02:12:46,720 Speaker 1: that big Chargers speed bump was out of the way, Steve, 2482 02:12:46,800 --> 02:12:49,960 Speaker 1: that the chances became far greater that Dable would be 2483 02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:53,320 Speaker 1: back for twenty one season. Now, no matter what happens 2484 02:12:53,360 --> 02:12:56,919 Speaker 1: in the next two weeks for the Bills and championship 2485 02:12:56,960 --> 02:13:00,280 Speaker 1: game super Bowl at now that they're charged with getting 2486 02:13:00,320 --> 02:13:03,200 Speaker 1: better after this year, they're gonna take tasks with taking 2487 02:13:03,240 --> 02:13:06,520 Speaker 1: another step forward offensively, and they're gonna have there'll be 2488 02:13:06,560 --> 02:13:09,480 Speaker 1: some decisions to make. Free agency of a lot of 2489 02:13:09,480 --> 02:13:11,720 Speaker 1: hard worker goes into getting better for next year, no 2490 02:13:11,800 --> 02:13:14,040 Speaker 1: question about it. We'll be here to cover it all. 2491 02:13:14,200 --> 02:13:16,400 Speaker 1: And you know what, there's a missing element that nobody 2492 02:13:16,400 --> 02:13:18,600 Speaker 1: has even thought of this year in this passing offense. 2493 02:13:19,200 --> 02:13:22,600 Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgins, the sixth round pick, never set foot on 2494 02:13:22,600 --> 02:13:24,640 Speaker 1: the field and there were some people that were of 2495 02:13:24,640 --> 02:13:27,400 Speaker 1: the opinion that he looked even better than Gabriel Davis 2496 02:13:27,400 --> 02:13:29,880 Speaker 1: did in training camp last summer. Well, there you go. 2497 02:13:30,160 --> 02:13:32,600 Speaker 1: So they won't be short on weapons. I think we 2498 02:13:32,600 --> 02:13:33,800 Speaker 1: can say that. I think it's going to be an 2499 02:13:33,800 --> 02:13:35,960 Speaker 1: interesting off season for the Bills and everybody. But you know, 2500 02:13:36,000 --> 02:13:39,080 Speaker 1: we pump the brakes on the off season. Just I'm fine, 2501 02:13:39,120 --> 02:13:42,360 Speaker 1: I got it, I'm fine, I'm good's It's just nice 2502 02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:45,440 Speaker 1: to know this isn't a one ye, right, I am 2503 02:13:45,480 --> 02:13:48,360 Speaker 1: like totally stress free this week. You know, pressure is 2504 02:13:48,400 --> 02:13:50,320 Speaker 1: off because the pressures on the Chiefs to win that game. 2505 02:13:50,360 --> 02:13:53,240 Speaker 1: I think the Bills play loose, Big Show Tomorrow, Kurt 2506 02:13:53,320 --> 02:13:56,920 Speaker 1: Warner the Hall of Famer, and the weekly appearance from 2507 02:13:56,920 --> 02:14:01,160 Speaker 1: one Kyle Brandt, who surged into superstar um in Western 2508 02:14:01,200 --> 02:14:03,160 Speaker 1: New York after his hype video got played in the 2509 02:14:03,200 --> 02:14:06,360 Speaker 1: stadium before the game Saturday. We'll see you tomorrow here 2510 02:14:06,360 --> 02:14:09,120 Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo 2511 02:14:09,160 --> 02:14:09,760 Speaker 1: Bill's Radio.
