1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Oh a good time. Watch Steve Clasper into the end

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: down textown mix down, textow tex do tast little little

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: over time. We spent the last four months looking at

4
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: blocks of games, tough games, winnable games, games on the

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: road and end at home. Well, that's over down Now,

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: it's only one game. Win and you play again, lose,

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: and your season is over one game at a time.

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: It's the start of the playoff run for the Buffalo Bills.

9
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: There losing your out NFL playoffs, and it could be

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: the start of something. Big shotgun snamp Ada takes it,

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: gonna run it himself, gets a couple of blocks, gets

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: a good one. That's first town yard at a cross midfield.

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: Josh trying to run at the thirty at the Texans

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: thirty five and hauled down and it is a pass

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: coming up here. John Brown gonna throw it back in

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: Josh allon, he's open, takes the catch and he dives

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: into the end. Touchdown. Touchdown. John Brown throws his second

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: touchdown of the year. There's the snap. Watson waits, pressure,

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: gets away from it, ducks underneath it. Now he runs

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: and now he is dropped. He is sacked. Jerry Hughes

21
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: brought him down empty backfield. Josh Allen looks passes it

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: is caught by Singletary and he gets away from two

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: men and he still is on his feet. He gets

24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: the first sound. He goes out of bound. What I

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: played by Devin Singletary. How did he do that? It's

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: another forty yard field goal attempt to kick out the

27
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: way it is up and it is good the Bills

28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: and another field goal is thirteen to nothing. Bills on

29
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: topped in the first half, and he keeps in himself.

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: Here comes Watson running right inside, gets inside the ten,

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: inside the five, dragging him into the end zone. Touchdown.

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: He dragged Jordan Poyer right into the end zone. Alan

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: takes the snap back to throw, he gets trapped. The

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: ball comes out of the loose ball picked up by

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: the Texans, and he goes down at the forty eight

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: yard line. Watson under center, takes the snamp gonna throw it,

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: rolls right, fires right up by high and then he

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: strolls into the end zone for the touchdown. Deshaun Watson,

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: alone in the backfield, takes a shotgun snamp gonna throw it,

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: fires it caught. They get the two point conversion cut

41
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: by DeAndre Hopkins. Here's the snamp three step drop quick

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: pass caught by Beasley at the thirty dives forward gets

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: see first down. They gotta hurry now. The clock is running.

44
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: The wild card game hanging in the balance. The house

00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: kis kick is on the way. It is up, and

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: it is good. It is good. It is good. The Bills.

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: It just tighten it up. We're in overtime. Deshaun Watson

48
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: pressure gets away from it, fires it short. It is

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: caught around the twenty yard line and he gets brought down.

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson gets down at the twenty six yard line.

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: There's the snap. Here comes Pressure, Wats into trouble. He's

52
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: spun around. He gets away from it, rolls to his right.

53
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: It is fired downfield. It is caught by Taiwan Jones

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: on the run at the thirty inside the Buffalo twenty

55
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: and dragged out of the Buffalo nine yard line. Taiwan Tones,

56
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: the former Buffalo Bill Bill's going for the block. Here's

57
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: the snap. The kick is on the way, it is up,

58
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: it is good, and they used detections knock the Bills

59
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs and the Bills season a game

60
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: of missed opportunities for the Buffalo Bills. You're right, Eric,

61
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: they had Funny a chance and they have a sixteen

62
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: point lead with six and a half minutes to play

63
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, and to see it slip away,

64
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: it was really tough to watch. That's Around the Locker Room,

65

Speaker 1: brought to you by connect Like Blood and Oregon Donor Network.

70
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: glad it was on a Saturday because I was in

71
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: no shape the show yesterday, Game Rewind, presented by Toshiba,

72
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: the official copy or company of the Buffalo Bills, and

73
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: I was in no shaping. Oh that's I got worse

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: though that I saw the highlights. I gotta tell you.

75
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: That's where we lived all year, right, that's the type

76
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: of team they are. That's where we lived. We were

77
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: one play away from winning or losing almost every single

78
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: week of the two tho nineteen season. Was a fun

79
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: team to watch. We got enough playmakers to get us

80
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: to a ten and six record, get us into the

81
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: wild Card round. But you knew going in and in

82
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: retrospect it sounds easy to say, but you know, you

83
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: never know until you play the games. But this is

84
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: a team that you knew you were gonna have to

85
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: get down into those one play games where you the

86
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: winner lose, and that's where they were in the wildcard

87
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: down in Houston. They were there's like, you can go

88
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: down the lid. We all, we've all seen the game.

89
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: There's like eight, nine, ten plays. They go the other way,

90
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: and the Bills win and the Texans lose, and you

91
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: get a situation where that that's just the world we

92
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: lived in the entire season. I agree with you, had, Steve,

93
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: but you gotta say it. They're up sixteen to nothing.

94
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: So where they live, yes, is one score games and

95
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: close games and close finishes. But when you're up sixteen

96
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: to nothing with six minutes to play in the third quarter,

97
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: you gotta finish that game. You gotta finished that game.

98
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: And they and there are a number of reasons why,

99
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: but that game's got to be finished. Up six I

100
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: thought they. I thought that the first scoring drive of

101
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: the Texans where they got on the board with it

102
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: with the touchdown and then the two point conversion. I

103
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: thought that was a completely different defensive philosophy on that

104
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: SI series that allowed them to go down and do that.

105
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: I thought, I don't know what it was. I thought

106
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: the defense just disappeared for five minutes. They put together

107
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: a seventy five yard drive. They were playing the soft defense,

108
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: their run game heard us. All of a sudden, out

109
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: of nowhere, they just were able to move the football

110
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: where they couldn't have done it. They didn't do it

111
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: the entire you know, first two and a half quarters

112
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: of the game, and then to give the two point

113
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: play they got. And now all of a sudden, as

114
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: well as the Bills have played, they're a one score

115
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: game again, it's a one possession game, eight points up,

116
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: and that's and I think that hurt them. Then our offense,

117
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: the Bills offense couldn't get it together. You know, it

118
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: just couldn't make enough place to stay on the field.

119
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: Josh turning the football over, not tucking the ball away,

120
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: not protecting the football. That old, that old nemesis came

121
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: back to haunt the Bills. They turned it over. You

122
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: can't do that. Now, We'll say this, The Bills turned

123
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: it over. The Texans got a field goal out of it.

124
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: Then the Texans turned it over. The Bills got a

125
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: few goal out of it, So you know that was

126
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: kind of a push, and you kind of that's all

127
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: you needed if you're the Bills, if you're sixteen point lead,

128
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: all you needed was to get a you know tie

129
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the game, you win by sixteen points.

130
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: They couldn't do it with coaching staff, the players, you know,

131
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: everybody had a hand in this, because, like we said,

132
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: it's a razor thin line between winning or losing for

133
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: this football team. Their offense just hasn't been good enough

134
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: to score points enough to give him any kind of

135
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: margin of victory. And on the one game and it

136
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: gets down to the end where credit to let and

137
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: for whatever defense they played earlier in the second half.

138
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: At the later stages of the game, man, they came

139
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: through big time. Leslie Frasier calls a defense. You get

140
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: two guys in on the quarterback to bust him up,

141
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: and the guy makes a play. You know, you tip

142
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: your hat to great, great play by Dashaun and he

143
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: makes a play and they beat you. And that's really

144
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: what it was. He'd called a great defensive call. They

145
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: had two guys coming in untouched and they'd escape and escape,

146
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: make the play and you lose. Yeah, Watson, I think

147
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: especially the stretch I'll played Josh Allen. Allen played well

148
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: early on. Watson played great in the second half, including

149
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: the player you talked about maybe the play of the game.

150
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: But as far as this, the fact that you know,

151
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: you go into a game and you get nineteen points

152
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: and you set up for field goals instead of getting touchdowns.

153
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: That's a problem, right, and as you look to next year,

154
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: that's a problem maybe the problem that has to be

155
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: solved by this team looking to next yepisode, how do

156
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: you get some how do you generate more offense? And

157
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: what do you need to get more offense? You need

158
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: more receivers, you need a tight end threat, you need

159
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: better offensive lineman, you need a second running back. And

160
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: that's a problem to we'll talk about as the off

161
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: season goes along. But in the interiom now we talk

162
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: about the things that could have gone well and they

163
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: were a play away from winning the game. And that's

164
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: what hurts so much. Yeah, it really hurts. And you

165
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: look at the big picture and I get it. Nobody

166
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: and even Bills fans said, you know, I just I'd

167
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: love to win this game, but I don't know how

168
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: far we're gonna get towards the Super Bowl. You gotta

169
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: go win to Baltimore, you gotta go into Kansas City,

170
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: you got to go into wherever it was we're gonna

171
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: go in. And it was gonna be another like if

172
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: the Bills won the game in Houston, you know, in

173
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore this weekend where they would have headed or no,

174
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: they would have headed into Kansas City this weekend. You

175
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: knew it would probably be one of those games where

176
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna be one play away. How many of those

177
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 1: one play games are you gonna be able to string together?

178
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Maybe three, maybe four. If you can do that, yeah, okay,

179
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: you win the World Championship. But it's that's a tight line.

180
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: That's a very very fine line to walk with no

181
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: margin of error. But in retrospect, you think that's where

182
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: it starts for this team, that's where you live this year,

183
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: and if you want to get better, you've got to

184
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: widen your margin of error. You got to score more points.

185
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: You gotta take some pressure off your defense. You've got

186
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: to and to me more so, it falls on Josh.

187
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: He's got to be the guy that keeps him on

188
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: the field. And you can point to all the plays

189
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: either where his maturity or lack thereof was just at

190
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: moments where it's like ah Lee, you know, when he

191
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: coughs the ball up running the football forward, and when

192
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: he's running down the field and he let me he

193
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: tries to desperately lateral that thing either out of bounds

194
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: or to somebody to keep it alive. You can't do

195
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: that stuff. And trying to desperation passed down the sideline

196
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: to Pat DeMarco who was double covered. You just those

197
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: are the kind of things you just can't do. You

198
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: can't take a bad sack and put you out a

199
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: field goal range. You know. You can't take a really

200
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: a nineteen yard sack or whatever that was on that

201
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: play down. You can't do that. And that falls on

202
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: Josh a lot of the time, and he's got to

203
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: be better. And that's to me, where where it begins

204
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: and ends offensively. So that's that's where you're at. You're

205
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: good enough to get into these games and get into

206
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: these situations, and I think Josh, I think all the

207
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: things I'm talking about with Josh, they're fixable and they're

208
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna get better. I don't think it's not a physical thing.

209
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: It's it's an not even a mental thing. I think

210
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: he's smart enough to know all this stuff. It's emotional.

211
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: He can't get caught up in that moment where he's

212
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: desperately ladder on the ball out of bounds or heaving

213
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: it up with a little bit of pressure. He needs

214
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: to pick his spots better and make better throws at

215
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: certain times and make this offense. Just stay on the field,

216
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: you know. Just stay on the field. Don't try and

217
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: win the game here. Just give yourself three more chances

218
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: to win the game, you know. And he doesn't do

219
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: that enough at this point. You know. That's where it

220
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: kind of comes down to for me. Yep, there's a

221
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: lot to talk about moving forward, yes, but we want

222
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: to focus more on Saturday's game. What went wrong for

223
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: the Bills and what do you think the issues were

224
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. We got Chris Brown coming up

225
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: at one o'clock an hour from now Bills Inside from

226
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot Com gets his thoughts on the games

227
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: yes Saturday, and coming up at two o'clock, we got

228
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: Eric Wood, the color analyst on the Bills radio network

229
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: will join us the news of the day. Not much

230
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: going on. Brian Dables interview is happening today, not yesterday.

231
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: The offensive coordinator for the Bills interviewing for the head

232
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: coaching job at the Cleveland Browns today. No word on

233
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: whether there's any movement there. We don't expect much today

234
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact. And the Bills announced ten

235
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: reserve future signings, including a Ray McCloud, Christian Wade, quarterback

236
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: Davis Webb. All these players who are on the Buffalo

237
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: practice squad this past season. So those are just the

238
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: kind of the housekeeping nights of the day. In the meantime,

239
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about it in yesterday's game, and

240
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: a Twitter poll to deal with our Twitter poll today.

241
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: If you could change one play, just one play from

242
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: Saturday's game, what would it be? Right you change one play,

243
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: you probably change the game if you pick the right one.

244
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: What play would you change the number to call? Eight

245
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: h three oh five fifty or two three one eight

246
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. You can ascend

247
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: in a tweet, We'll read it on the tweet sheet.

248
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: You can vote in their Twitter poll already fifteen minutes

249
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: and We got six hundred thirty votes in the Twitter poll.

250
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: If you could change one play from Saturday's game, what

251
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: would it be? Forty one percent of you you say

252
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: the blind side call, the blind side block call on

253
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: Cody Ford would be the one that you would change. Really, yeah,

254
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: I see it. They converted the third down on that play. Yeah,

255
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: there's a bad call, But I don't know if i'd

256
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: make that. The one thirty eight percent of you say

257
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: the Texans convert the third and eighteen. That was a big,

258
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: big play third and eighteen and they hit a pass

259
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: to Duke Johnson for a first down and it just

260
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: barely made the first down eighteen yard play on third

261
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: and eighteen. Thirty eight percent of you say that one

262
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: sixteen percent. This surprised him. He say the Watson escape

263
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: hits Taiwan Jones for thirty four yards to get some downfield.

264
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: They cash in on the field goal in overtime. That

265
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: would be the one five percent of something else in mind.

266
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: Let's hear free minute eight oh three oh five fifty

267
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: to three one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

268
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: I would pick the I think it. I thought it

269
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: was almost obvious. It was the play of the game,

270
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: the Watson escape and hits Taywan Jones downfield thirty four

271
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: yards sixteen percent. Say that's the one. I get it too,

272
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: And I'd be interested in having people call up and say,

273
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: getting their thoughts about what you know about these plays.

274
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the blindside call on Ford took our offense

275
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: off the field. You know that that killed that drive

276
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: and at that point where we got a chance. You're

277
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to score at some point to win it,

278
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: and that took a chance. That took the Bills out

279
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: of a chance to do that, and that's a that

280
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: was a crusher for me. I agree with that. I

281
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: also the third and eighteen. I mean, yeah, my gosh,

282
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: you know those are crushers, you know. And the Watson,

283
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: hey man, the guy made a play. All those plays,

284
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: and let's face it, any of those plays that you

285
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: change have a chance to have a ripple effect and

286
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: have the Bills the outcome of the game be completely different.

287
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: The Bills would win that game. And you can make

288
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: the case in any of those things. And that's you know,

289
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: like I say, I'll say it again, that's where we

290
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: live with this team. You live in those one play

291
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: games and when they don't go your way. There's always

292
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: a list of plays that would have made the absolute

293
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: positive difference in the outcome of the game, and your

294
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: season ends on one of those plays. And it's fitting.

295
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: If it's gonna end, that's how it's gonna end. On

296
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: a one play game. It was a like I said, Murphy,

297
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: I was, I'm gonna be bummed when this season was over,

298
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: and I am. I was. I was in no shape

299
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: to do the show yesterday. I'll tell you that I

300
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: was in a bad way. I was in a bad way. Oh,

301
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: my guy, I love these stories. He's inside stories, the

302
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: real Steve Tasker, mister nice guys, Steve Tasker, what were doing?

303
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: Even my wife had sympathy for me yesterday. We know

304
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: you don't get sympathy and you don't have right your

305
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: wife doesn't put no, I was, I was a very

306
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: you know. All right, So here's the thing, all right,

325
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: was just in a bad, bad way, bad way. She

326
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: knew it too. I bless her heart because and I

327
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,480

328
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: wife kind of cut you a little bit of slag.

329
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: But she knows too when she shouldn't, and she never

330
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: not right. I got, I got the whole. She was like,

331
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: she was just like patting me on the shoulder yesterday

332
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: almost too. I was. She was like, huh, threw me

333
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: off too. I'm takes a lot for your wife to

334
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: feel sorry for you. Right, I'm not used to that

335
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: kind of sympathy about the game. Right, not got a lot?

336
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: I did, I did, I got, I got the I

00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: Do you feel like I like you a little sick child? Right?

339
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm all right, you know, rubbing your time? I got.

340
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: I was. It was genuine too. She knew I was.

341
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: I was like not exaggerating. I was in a bad way.

342
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of bills fans were too. And

343
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: I was listening to radio too, and I was, I

344
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: was snapping on you. There's so much And I thought

345
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: about this too. There's so much about this game. There's

346
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: plenty of plenty of blame to go around. I mean,

347
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: everybody took a turn, and um, you know, from the

348
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: officials to the players, to the coaches, and then also too,

349
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: there were times when the coaches were brilliant. Yep, you

350
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: know our coaching staff. I'll tell you what, I'll take

351
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: our staff over the Houston staffs one hundred days out

352
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: of a hundred out they were out coached. Yesterday. The

353
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Houston Texans had some elite athletes who, most notably like

354
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: point being, Deshaun Watson makes the play. The Bill's coaching

355
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: staff almost hit the hammer on the net. They had

356
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: two rushers on the quarterback at the critical time of

357
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: the game free and he had no place to go.

358
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: The kid makes the play and they win. You think that,

359
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: You think the Houston Texas coaching staff did to play

360
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: on that. Now they got out maneuvered to Bill's coaching

361
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: staff clubbed them with that call, and their kid makes

362
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: the play and they win. You know, you think of

363
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: Bill's coaching staffs and and for what I the trouble

364
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: I gave him about that that that drive where they

365
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: went down that seventy five yard drive where they went

366
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: boom boom, boom, boom boom, touchdown out to one score game.

367
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: As bad as I thought that was, man, they were

368
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: brilliant there at the end when they turned the notch

369
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 1: back up. Man, they were on defense. They were on

370
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: it and that so you know, And then as good

371
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: as the Bill's offense was that opening drive, Josh Boom

372
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: going down the sidelines and the trick played to John Brown, Boom,

373
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: we hit him in the mouth. As good as that was,

374
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: and you know, they struggled to move the ball the

375
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: rest of the day. They couldn't get it done, and

376
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: a lot of that to me though, it was really

377
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: it was on Josh. Josh was up and out coffing

378
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: the ball up. He almost had two pick sixes on

379
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: that one series where in the first half where he

380
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: threw the quick out route almost ons Nathan Peterman looking play,

381
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: and then the one that went right through the wickets

382
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: of J. J. Watt. You know, later on he almost

383
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: threw a pick six there too. So all of that stuff,

384
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: and then then he he ear holes Duke Williams a

385
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: couple of times on some great throws. So everybody on

386
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: the lot and from the players, everybody through the roster,

387
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: all the way through the coaching staff. They were all

388
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: up and down yesterday. They all had brilliant moments, and

389
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: they all had moments where it's going, Oh, and here's

390
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: the thing, Steven, Again, this is long term view. But

391
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: if you get more points, and if you get more

392
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns and just a trick play touchdown, you can survive

393
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: some of those bad some of those bad calls, some

394
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: of those band calls by the coaching step, you can't

395
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: survive them when you're living on the edge of the

396
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: way the Bills have had and with the players and

397
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: as good as they are, with the talent they have,

398
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: they're good enough to go ten and six. They survive

399
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: more than they don't. Ye, they're a good team, a

400
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: really good team, and they're gonna be a good team

401
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: this coming year. And it's gonna be interesting to kind

402
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: of get a handle on who they're gonna play. They're

403
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: playing the AS and NFC West. So they got the Seahawks,

404
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: the Niners, the Cardinals, and the Rams. We got the

405
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: AFC West as well, and the AFC Western Chargers. Don't

406
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: scare me, Broncos, don't scare me. Raiders, Raiders, don't scare me. Chiefs. Yeah,

407
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: that's a good team. So I don't know. I mean,

408
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: you know, if you go two and two against the

409
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: NFC West, if you beat the Rams, Rams and the Cardinals,

410
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: and then you know and split and lose to the Rams,

411
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: Niners or Seattle Hawks. Seattle Hawks. So the Seahawks and

412
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: the Niners. He split with that, you go two and

413
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: two in that division, you go three and one in

414
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: the AFC West. You're way far right. I'm way down

415
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: the road now. But it's a different kind of it's

416
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: a different kind of schedule than they had this year. Yeah,

417
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: where you're playing the O and O for Dolphins and

418
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: the O for Bengals, and the NFC East and the

419
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: NFC East too. They couldn't get out of their own way. Yeah,

420
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: just different way. You gotta be better just to be

421
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: the same. If you could change one play from Saturday's game,

422
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: what would it be? And maybe we're not thinking of

423
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,400

Speaker 1: real quick. I hope they put you in the Hall

438
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: of Fame, Steve, because what you did you changed the

439
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: way special teams are played in the NFL. That's what

440
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: you did as a player. Can I just stop you

441
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: for a second, Peter, and we'll let you come back

442
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: on in a second. I gotta say this. This happened

443
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: Thursday night. I was I left. I wasn't there Friday,

444
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: I was on my way to Houston. That really disappointed me, Steve.

445
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: I thought you had a real good chance to be

446
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: a finalist this year, not just you know, maybe you

447
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: get in the Hall of Fame, maybe you don't, but

448
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: a chance to have your case heard, and that was

449
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: taken away when you were not included as a finalist

450
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: as opposed to a semifinalist. I just find it hard

451
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: to believe, you know, I don't look. I get it.

452
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: They're all well meaning, these voters, But if you want

453
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: to ignore special teams that much, what are you doing?

454
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: You know, you elect a special teamer to the Pro

455
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: Bowl every year, you have for decades. Now, you name

456
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: a special teamer to the All Pro Team you have

457
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: for decades now, and then it doesn't make sense that

458
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: you just ignore a special teamer when it comes time

459
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: to consider Hall of Fame votes. This guy's the all

460
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: time special teamer. Who who's next, Matthew Slater, Well, he's

461
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: a couple of years away from being eligible for consideration.

462
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: Really puzzled me that you weren't a finalist, I gotta say.

463
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: And it bothers me, And it bothered me last Friday

464
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: when or Thursday night when I appreciate it, but it's

465
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's not the whole fame isn't just isn't

466
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: for everybody, And I, um, I appreciate your passionate about it.

467
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's a little disappointing. I would like to

468
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: see here the arguments. But that's just me. I mean,

469
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: it's get a hearing. Yeah, be a finalist and it

470
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: will ever happen. I don't. I don't. Well, you got

471
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: a chance now going in on the veterans. And I

472
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: think too, yeah, And I think to Matthew Slater, he ray,

473
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: he's the bar a little bit. I mean he's now,

474
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: he's in it for you know more, he's done more accolades.

475
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: He's got eight Pro bowls or seven or eight Pro bowls.

476
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: And and seven or eight all pros. He's that's a

477
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: notch beyond what I've done, this much beyond yeah, but

478
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: still just a little and playing for you know, the

479
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: greatest team of the last twenty years. Yeah, and it's

480
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: a it's a long it's a long road. And by

481
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: the way, on the show, what do you think he'd say,

482
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: he'd say the same thing. He would say, Steve Tasker

483
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: belonged to the Hall of Fame. He said it before us. Yeah,

484
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: he's I just I don't get it. Go ahead, I'm sorry, Peter,

485
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Peter, Sorry, keep the mark, no problem, I

486
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: love it. Quick question. What's the name of that place

487
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: in Canton, Kansas? Canton, Ohio? Oh? Can't Pro Football? Hall

488
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: of Fame? Okay? And Steve Tasker was a anyway with

489
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: that said, I'm on your side, Steve, and I wish

490
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: I had a vote. Thanks? What else you got? My

491
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: point is this the building up sixteen and nothing. And

492
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: I always say, when you get a team down sixteen zip,

493
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: you got to bury you right. I agree, You've got

494
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: to finish the process. If you don't, the results will

495
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: be like we had Saturday, and it broke my heart.

496
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, fellas, I've been a Bills fan. I

497
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: grew up right down the streets from the rock pile.

498
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: And this starting to get dishearting. I'm sixty five years old. Now,

499
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: hang in there, Peter, I understand, Peter, and listen, I

500
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: get it too. And you're right, um, it's it's unnerving

501
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: and a really really disappointing to see a team like

502
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: the Bills blow a sixteen point lead with a quarter

503
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: and a half of football to play, or a quarter

504
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: and a third of a you know, a quarter to play.

505
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: It didn't happen all year, and to see it happen

506
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: on that stage when it shouldn't have, you feel like

507
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: you were a better team than they were. I think

508
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: it's it's really really heartbreaking. I think for Bills fans,

509
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: I think that's a particularly a particularly uncomfortable way to

510
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: lose that game. I think it's really heartbreaking. I agree

511
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: with you, Peter, that that was a tough one to lose,

512
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you I had to watch. I watched

513
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: the first half of the game by myself because I was,

514
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, like all of us, I was so angst

515
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: ridden about it, you know, I thought, I just you know,

516
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: I just knew that I would be unfit company for

517
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 1: anybody to watch the game with me. So then when

518
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: we're up sixteen or nothing a half time, I went, oh,

519
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: I said okay. So then I went over to a

520
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: place where I was gonna watch with with my family

521
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: and friends. I kind of acclimated into the group, and

522
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: then you know, it happened. What had happened particularly excruciating.

523
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: Let me just talk and make a good point, Peter

524
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: about how you got to finish them off. Now they're

525
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: the end of the first half, they're up ten to nothing,

526
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: and this is a part about the coaching that bothers me. Really,

527
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: they got the ball, they're up tend to nothing, They're

528
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: on the move from their own thirty three inside two

529
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: minutes to play thirty eight seconds. Stuff. They hit Singletary,

530
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: pick up a first down. I was first and ten

531
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: at the twenty three yard line, and first they take

532
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: a time out, all right, Then they run Frank Gore

533
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: for a one yard and then Josh Ellen has come

534
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: up and spike it, and then it's the incomplete pass

535
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: to Duke Williams in the end zone. That whole sequence

536
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: bothered me, and I think it was a little bit

537
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: too conservative, and you don't look you should be on

538
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: the attack. You've moved the ball from your thirty three

539
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: yard line to the Texans twenty three. All right, you

540
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: need a time out and take a time out, but

541
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: don't come out of that with a Frank Gore run

542
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: and then have to spike it to save yourself to

543
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: stop the clock. I just don't get it. I mean,

544
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 1: they wanted to save one time out, they took one

545
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: time out to the locker room at halftime, but that

546
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: just wasn't a well thought out sequence of plays there

547
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: to run Frank Gore to spike it and then throw

548
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: a kind of a desperation heave into the end zone.

549
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: Now you got to try the field goal. You get

550
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: the field goal, you go up thirteen to nothing at

551
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: the half. You'll take that lead, but it could have

552
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: been more and you could have given yourself a chance

553
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: to take a couple of shots in the end zone.

554
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: I think it was a little bit too conservative by

555
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: the coaches. I get it. I get it. Tone we

556
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: had this conversation too, and I'd be interested to know

557
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: if whether Josh chet to that play. What the Frank

558
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: Gore play. Yeah, the Frank Gore play I get it too.

559
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there, let's face it, the only reason Frank

560
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: Gore was on the field was probably because Devin Singletary

561
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: just caught the first down. He'd probably touched the ball

562
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: four times just before that, and just took a break

563
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: and took one playoff before he came back on the field.

564
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: Frank is in there really to give Devin Singletary a

565
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: chance to get a drink, take catch his breath and

566
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: get back on the field, and to give him the ball.

567
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: I get this too. The one thing we do know

568
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: about Frank Gore he's dependable. He's not going to cough

569
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: it up, and so there's that. But I agree with you,

570
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: and I was talking to that. I was having this

571
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: conversation with you. We always get these conversations every time

572
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: the Bills lose that Brian Dables too conservative, he doesn't

573
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: do the right things. And I was watching the rest

574
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: of those games and I had this. He heard me

575
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: go off on a rant. The Seahawks did it, The

576
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles did it, The New England Patriots did it.

577
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans did it, and so did the Who's

578
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: the other NFC game? The Minnesota Vikings did it. And

579
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: that New Orleans Saints did it. All eight teams who

580
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: played over this last week and had times where you're

581
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: watching them, and all of them have these multiple running

582
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 1: games where they do the things where the tight end

583
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: comes around and the whip screens and the jet sweeps

584
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: in the missdirection where you give it to the back

585
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: going out and you toss it to the receiver coming across.

586
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: They all do all these multiple things in the running game,

587
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: every single one of them at some point, like one

588
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: out of every five of those plays is a handoff

589
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: up the middle. Nothing. It's like a quarterback turns around,

590
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: gives it to a running back, he jumps into the

591
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. They don't even tackle the guy, they

592
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: just stand him up. The whistle blows, and every single

593
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL, even in the playoffs, is running

594
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: that play like once out of every five plays, Like

595
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: what is going on? They all do it. They all

596
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: have this play in their arsenal. Like the Bills first

597
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: and ten on the twenty three they turn around and

598
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: hand it to Frank Gore. The Seattle Seahawks they turn

599
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: around and hand it to a thirty three year old

600
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. The Minnesota Vike is just turn around, hand

601
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: it to Dalvin Cook. The Eagles turned around and handed

602
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: to their guy. What does that tell you that it's

603
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: and why do they do that? It looks like football,

604
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: It like stone Age, just like nineteen fifty seven. One

605
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 1: bar on your face mask. They try. Everybody does that

606
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: one play, everybody, all of them every game, and it's like,

607
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: what I know, and I know, you got to be creative,

608
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: but why do they do that. On the other hand,

609
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: if you're talking about the lack of creativity in offense,

610
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: what about Buffalo's first drive. It was amazing, a forty

611
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: two yard run by Josh Allen, the throw from John

612
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: Brown to Josh Allen for the touchdown. There was all

613
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: kinds of creativity and that and I get it. You

614
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: can only you can only get ready. You gotta have

615
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: your offense set and it's hard to get it ready.

616
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: You gotta have eleven guys or fifteen guys ready to

617
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: go in too. Perkiel packages have it all choreographed. They

618
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: were flawless in that first drive. I mean they were flawless,

619
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: and man oh man, you just think, okay, you know

620
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 1: this is what it's gonna be like well, you get

621
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: through that menu played, then you can start having to

622
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, sooner or later, very quickly in that game,

623
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: you gotta start running your offense. You gotta do the

624
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: things that got you there. You gotta hand it off,

625
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: you gotta throw it. You gotta find open guys. You're

626
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: not gonna have Josh Allen, you know, running through guys

627
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: like that like you did on that first drive and

628
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: in the reverse pass. It's a great way to hit

629
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: him in the mouth, it really is, and they did it.

630
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: But sooner or later, you're gonna have to play real football.

631
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: And not that that wasn't like real football. That didn't count,

632
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have to do some things that are

633
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,959
Speaker 1: on script. You're gonna have to run your offense. Your

634
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: offensive line is gonna have to win some battles. And

635
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: you just didn't do it and win those battles enough

636
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: after that first drive to get you the game. You

637
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: got a sixteen point lead. It's pretty good. Could have

638
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: been better, It should have been better, could have been better,

639
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: would have been better, and there's like a million ways

640
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: to go with it, and it just didn't. It just

641
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: didn't take a break. We got a lot more to

642
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: talk about. We want to hear from you as well.

00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, ESPN is out with this Saturday's game, Bills Texans,

653
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: the most viewed Saturday afternoon NFL Wildcard game since twenty fourteen,

654
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: five years ago, most viewed NFL Wildcard game ever on ESPN.

655
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: They average twenty six point four million viewers, peaked with

656
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: thirty five point four million during overtime. Pretty amazing. It's

657
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people watching that game, Steve. Think about it.

658
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: You got Josh Allen, Deshaun Watson, Pat Mahomes, You've got

659
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: Mr Jackson. I mean, there's some a lot of really

660
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: fun young quarterbacks to watch. I think you've got all

661
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: the guys that you thought were gonna be good at

662
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: the may Or may Not you know, Baker Mayfields and

663
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: Sam Arnold's and all those guys. Uh, it's really really

664
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: up for grabs. I think in the AFC you got

665
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg will probably come back. But Tom Brady, Philip Rivers,

666
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: those guys are you know free agent gen of the guard. Yeah,

667
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: it is a little bit. And that game on Saturday

668
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: between Josh and Dashaun was pretty it was fun. Sure,

669
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And then you got two out of

670
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: the four games going to ot over the weekend. It

671
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 1: was a really good playoff. Well I told you, man,

672
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: that wild card weekend is a blast. Man. You get

673
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: some great football, even though he makes you want to

674
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: bang your head on the table. But Jeff found the

675
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: line from duput. Hello, Jeff, you're on the air. How

676
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: are you? Yeah, you know I was calling about that

677
00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: delayed the game the way that they never call because

678
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: that would have stopped the whole played. It cost us

679
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: the game third and eighteen. Yeah, over time. Well, here's

680
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: the thing they do. They have always done it and

681
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: they continue to do it. And I had no problem

682
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: with it because what happens is they tell the official

683
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: in the back end. He's he's facing the quarterback, looking

684
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: over the quarterback shoulder at the play cock, and he

685
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: looks at it. And what he does is what they

686
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: tell him to do. Is because they don't want those

687
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: kind of penalties to cheapen the game, and they don't

688
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: want him happen all the time. Here's what happens. If

689
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: the guy looks and sees it go to zero, he

690
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: brings his eyes down to where the ball is, and

691
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: if the ball is snapped in the time after it

692
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: goes to zero and before he looks at where the

693
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: ball's being snapped, they don't call it. And you're right,

694
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: it was close, and probably by the letter of the law,

695
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: might have been a delayed game. But by the same toge,

696
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to happen after that ball snapped. Anyway,

697
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: And if the Bills would have if now listen, wait

698
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: a minute, Jeff, if the Bills would have sacked strip

699
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: fumbled fumble return for a touchdown and they would have

700
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: called delay a game, you'd have been just as upset. Yeah,

701
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: But the thing is, they had the other two or

702
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: three guys on the field that took that touchdown away,

703
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: and I understand that play, yeah, but if but if

704
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: they got involved in that, they should have got involved

705
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: with this. Yeah, you're right. I mean, it's you can

706
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: make that, you can make that assertion, but you know, yeah, okay,

707
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: I get it close. It was close, and you know

708
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: that he's on the field and made that call in

709
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: the end, z old that took the ball away from

710
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: us for the touchdown, which I accept it. I mean, yeah,

711
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: but here's the thing too. Remember if even if they

712
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: don't convert that third, they say they get it, it's

713
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: a it's a fourth and nine and Houston punts it away.

714
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: That's still a lot of football to be played before

715
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: you give Bill the Bills that that it turns it

716
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: into a third and eighteen. It turns it into a

717
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: fourth or third and what twenty three then, right, So

718
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: then the Texans got to go third and twenty three

719
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: and if they don't get it, then they got to

720
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: you know. So, but there's still a lot of football

721
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: to be played after that. If they force a punt,

722
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: now the Bills have got to return it, and there's

723
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: a lot of football to be played before you can

724
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: get down to say, hey, the Bills would have won

725
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: that game. Now, certainly it put him in position where

726
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: they could continue that drive. But then the Bills even

727
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: so they got first, second, third, and fourth down to

728
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: get the Texans off the field. So I get that,

729
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: and it would have changed and had a ripple effect.

730
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: But to say, you know, there's still a lot of

731
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: things that had to happen after that for it to

732
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: have changed it. But you're right, by the rule of

733
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: the law, should have been a penalty, Jeff, Thanks for

734
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: calling here. Ze Lane from Arizona, who wants to talk

735
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: about the other disputed call in the game. Hello, Hello,

736
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: and go ahead. Hey for me, it's the call in

737
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: the end zone when the guys you dropped the ball.

738
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: They said he's surrendered, Joe, because on fourth Center I

739
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: watched it. Let after the game they read from the

740
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: rule book, and the rule book says that you have

741
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: to either kneel or take the ball out. He just

742
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: stood there dropp the ball. He did that. That's surrendering, right,

743
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: a live ball that was ours. There was a touchdown period.

744
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: Why aren't the Bills shooting the Well, they will dispute.

745
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: There's nothing they can do about it. Now, it's not

746
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: challengeable or anything like that. But you're right, the rule says,

747
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: and this was all part of the part of the

748
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: safety rules. And here's the thing, and here's why. No question,

749
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: it was a technicality, no question about it. But here's

750
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: what happens. Say, for instance, and this is why the

751
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: rules in place. For instance, that guy comes out and

752
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 1: kind of is trying to like halfway throw the football

753
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: to the official, but he keeps in his hand. He

754
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: flips it, and the official stands there and the Bills

755
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: players let up because they think the guy's going to

756
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: give himself up by his body language. He walks halfway

757
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: out and he's gonna try and flip, and he's waiting

758
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: for the official to put his hands out so he

759
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 1: can give him the ball. He notices that the Bill's

760
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: coverage guys kind of let up start to turn towards

761
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: their sideline. He tucks the ball under his arm and

762
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: takes off and he gets out to the thirty five

763
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: forty or maybe goes the whole distance. That's what that's

764
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: why you gotta do something with the ball when you

765
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: catch it. You gotta kneel down, and you gotta give

766
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: yourself up. And yeah, I mean it's a it's an

767
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: incredibly this one is a calmated body language. That's right,

768
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,479
Speaker 1: you're right, and that listen. The officially Tony corne didn't.

769
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: He said, hey, that's a live ball. They called it

770
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown and they got overruled. It looked yeah. The

771
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: guy the observer came out on the sideline. Here's the thing,

772
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: what you got to know in these playoff games too,

773
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: there's like there's seven officials on the field. There's two officials,

774
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: extra officials. Also on the sidelines. They have white hats

775
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: that are not in the game that stand on either

776
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: sideline for the head coaches to talk to about what's

777
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: going on. So they have an extra level of officiating

778
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: communication with the head coaches because they have that guy

779
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: that came out in the black shirt with the hat on.

780
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: He's a white hat normally. He does games like Tony

781
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: Carente did. And then there's one on the Bill's sideline

782
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: as well. So he comes out and says, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

783
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: We'll hold on just a minute. So and his assertion

784
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: was and I think right, there's no way that the

785
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: guy was gonna bring it out or there was anything

786
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: nefarious going on. He just trying to give himself up

787
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: and tossed it and didn't take a knee. Certainly it's

788
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: a mental mistake, and it would it'd be really tough

789
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: to see a game decided on a play where a

790
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: guy just made a bonehead play. I get it, Well,

791
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: you get what I get why, I mean, come on,

792
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: it's and it's a lot like it's a lot like

793
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: the coin flip rule where they say, hey, we'll kick

794
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: off and take the wind. Well, what are you gonna

795
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: what are you saying here? You know what I mean? Well,

796
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna make it clear or you're not. And for

797
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: whatever that is. Yeah, I mean, it's a bad play

798
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: by that return man and he has got to be

799
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: coached up not to do that, but he wasn't. And

800
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: I think the officials did an enormous service, not just

801
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: to the Houston Texans at the expense of the Buffalo Bills,

802
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: but I think to the game. Yeah, they're going to

803
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: force that to be addressed. They listen, yes or no,

804
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: you were not. You don't want any cheap touchdowns in

805
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: playoff games where jobs are on the line, families are

806
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? As much as I'm a

807
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: special teams guy and I and you can exploit the

808
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: rules for your benefit. I'm I'm kind of okay with Hey,

809
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: let's just get it right. And in that case, I

810
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that not being a free

811
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: touchdown for one of the other teams. Call here from

812
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: Tim in oswego. Hello, Tim, you're on the air. Hey,

813
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: thanks guys. How you doing, Murphy? Okay, I'm in the

814
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: other category on your poll, go ahead. Play that stuck

815
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: in my mind was the play before the Cody Forward penalty.

816
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was running the ball, he got to the

817
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: forty three yard line or Houston. He was taken out

818
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: by a helmet to helmet hit. YEA would have given

819
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: the Bills the first down at the twenty eight and

820
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: they could have won the game. That's right, I agree

821
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: with you, And it was, and it's hard for the

822
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. You're right. It was a helmet

823
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: to helmet. The guy led with the crown of his

824
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: helmet put it right on Josh's jaw and literally he

825
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: was trying to hit him as hard as he could.

826
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: You're trying to take him out. I mean, that's an

827
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: old time play. And he wouldn't tell you that, And

828
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: I get it. He's trying to make that tackle hurt

829
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: as much as he can. And he reverted back to

830
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: the old days when he led with the crown of

831
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: your helmet, hit the guy in the mouth. He hit

832
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: Josh right on the jaw with the top of his helmet.

833
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: Now Josh had the ball tucked under his arm. It

834
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: was just like he was Frank Gore in that situation.

835
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: It's not like he was a quarterback. He was running

836
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: the football. So I get the fact that he's not

837
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: afforded the same the same protections that a quarterback is.

838
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: But once again, that is a that's a play that

839
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: you could say, yeah, you know, you're not supposed to

840
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: do that. Yet that was a hit to either a

841
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: defensive player, defenseless player, or helmet to helmet and it

842
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: could have been called easily. But I can see why

843
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: the officials missed it because he's got the ball tucked,

844
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: he's a running back and you know, and plus Josh

845
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: didn't The reason Josh didn't expect it was because a

846
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: guy whipped on the block and let the guy go

847
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: through free, so Josh thought he was going to be blocked.

848
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: So we got caught unaware, So yeah, it could have

849
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: been called, but that too would have been a little

850
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: bit of a I don't know. Well, here's the question

851
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: I want to ask, and I understand and people see things,

852
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: and I think there's a lot of reasons for this.

853
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: A lot of it has to do with the fact

854
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: that we have distrust for EFFICI eighty now and not

855
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: sure what they're calling. But three plays that we just

856
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: talked about here the clock running out, the play clock

857
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: running out on the third and eighteen before the snap

858
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: the end zone, you know, the kickoffs start the second half,

859
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: that play with the balls flipped to the official, and

860
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 1: now this play the apparent helmet hit on Josh Allen.

861
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: Do you really want to see a game decided on that?

862
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: Do we really think that that's what mattered in this game?

863
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: Those three plays? Look, I don't think the officiating distinguished

864
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: itself in this game, but I don't believe that's why

865
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: the Bills lost. Quite frankly, I think you go into

866
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: a game, you beat the team, and you make sure

867
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: you're beating by enough that you can survive the occasional

868
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: rough all that'll go against you. They didn't get the

869
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: whistle right as coaches would say, we need the whistle.

870
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: We didn't get the whistle. Okay, but the they didn't lose,

871
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: because that's right, and here's the thing, and no, they didn't.

872
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: They lost because you know, the Texans ultimately made more

873
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: plays at the end than they did. And you can say,

874
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 1: and that's why I go back to it constantly, that's

875
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: where this team was all year. You're in these games

876
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: where these little tikie tack penalties and by the letter

877
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: of the law and the rule of the law and

878
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 1: why this play went your way and why it didn't

879
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: go their way, that's where you live. And there's a

880
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: list and in a game like this, an overtime playoff game,

881
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: there's a list of twenty plays that make the difference.

882
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: And that's why it's heartbreaking and frustrating, and it's also

883
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: highlights why this team was like, I don't know if

884
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: we can get to the super Bowl, but I'm sure

885
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: glad we're in the playoffs. Maybe we can sneak a

886
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: playoff win it that's why you're not That's why you

887
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: don't have a bye this week. That's it right there.

888
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: That margin of error is why the Bills don't have

889
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: a bye this week. They lost two games to the

890
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: Patriot by score. They lost to the Jets in week

891
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: seventeen because they didn't need the game and wouldn't it.

892
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: So if you all of that stuff pile on together,

893
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: is why you didn't get a buy and it's why

894
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: you get bounced in the first round because of a

895
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: string of one single plays that could have made the

896
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: difference that didn't, or just one of them didn't go

897
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: on your way at the right moment that didn't circle

898
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: back and give you a chance to kick a field

899
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: goal to win in an overtime game in the playoffs.

900
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: That's where you're at. That's where you're at. If you

901
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: want to go further, get yourself to a place where

902
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: you're not in one score games every single week, and

903
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: one play is not going to make the difference, because

904
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: one play is going to bounce you out of the playoffs,

905
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: and it could be one of like I said, twenty

906
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: plays in this last game in Houston. All right, well

907
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: take a break, we're coming back. It is one Bill's Live.

908
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: John Murphy was Team Tasker coming to you from the

909
00:42:49,040 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: Seneca Studio Seneca Resorts in Casino. Nothing comes close if

910
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: Tasker here until the three. Today, we got Eric would

911
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: come and buy it too, got Chris Brown stepping by

912
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. What are you think? Then? I

913
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: can tell by the look on Somebody tweeted about the

914
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: kickoff thing. And here's the thing. The officials shall declare

915
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: the ball dead and the down down ended when a

916
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: runner declares himself down by falling to the ground or

917
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: kneeling and clearly making no immediate effort to advance. So

918
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: he clearly made no immediate effort to advance, but he

919
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: didn't fall to the ground or kneel, So it's this

920
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: and that, not this or that. So he did one

921
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,479
Speaker 1: but not the other. I see. And if you're gonna

922
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: tikie tack, then you're right. All these plays, the delay

923
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: of game should have been called the Corey I mean,

924
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: the Cody Ford play should not have been because it

925
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: wasn't agree or maybe it was. If it wasn't, then

926
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: you got to make that call. All of this stuff

927
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: is tikie tack stuff is Yeah, it's just noise, exactly,

928
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: It's just noise. Yeah, you know, there was there was

929
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot of football almost in every in every situation

930
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: that we're talking about, there's a ton of football to

931
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: be played, a ton of football to be played, and

932
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: you know, so, yeah, it would have had a ripple

933
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: effect for the minute, for a minute or so, but yeah,

934
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: everything had to happen. Still, you would have been a

935
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: fifty six yard attempt if Josh Allen, if the Cody

936
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: forward thing doesn't happen, right, Yeah, it would have been

937
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: from the thirty eight. Yeah, it'd have been a fifty

938
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: six yard attempt field goal by Haushka to win the

939
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: game after the Cody forward blindside block. Fifty six. That

940
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 1: is a coin flip at best. Yeah, so you know,

941
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: what are we talking about. It's hard to get your

942
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: mind around how big a difference that was gonna make.

943
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: It's it comes down to the players, you know. The

944
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: coaching staff in critical moments were yeah, yeah, made some

945
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: great calls on both sides of the ball, and then

946
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: on other times it's like, you know, head scratches, like

947
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: the Frank Core handed up, you know, into the first half. Yeah,

948
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:04,439
Speaker 1: who knows, who knows? It's where we live. Man, Let's

949
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: go to Greg and Orlando. Hello, Greg, you'reround the year. Hey,

950
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: good afternoon, gentlemen. Be in the Hall of Fame. One

951
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: of these years. Big fan of yours. I actually have

952
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: one of your practice jerseys from nineteen eighty eight. My

953
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: friend was a therapist for the Bills back then. Still

954
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: have it were to the gym asis tasker on the back.

955
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: Nice and I really think that the kickoff was a

956
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: huge blow. And I don't think it's tikie tack because

957
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: all the rules in the NFL are there for a reason.

958
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: Intentional grounding it occurs if you don't get the ball

959
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: pass the line of scrimmage, if you're outside the tackle box,

960
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: it's a tikie tack thing. The guy tried throwing it away,

961
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: but if you don't, you lost it down to the

962
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: ten yard penalty. I mean, the rules are there for

963
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: a reason. This guy did not give himself up by

964
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: the rule. The touchdown was correctly called on the field.

965
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: That I really think twenty nothing changes that game on

966
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: the first play of the second half. Can't go back

967
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: and do it. I also think they were looking for

968
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: a call against the Bills. I always sound paranoid, but

969
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: there was no blind side block in that play. I mean,

970
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: if you look at the Minnesota game yesterday, they let

971
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 1: the guys fight from the ball and the guy caught

972
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: the pass and overtime to win. They let them play

973
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: on the field. They seemed to me that Buffalo always

974
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: runs into that in the road. They looked for calls

975
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 1: they would not make against other teams. Might be paranoid,

976
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: I see for thirty years. I know. I do think

977
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: there's a bit of paranoia in there, Greg, and I

978
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: understand that. But let me say this, dude, we were

979
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: talking during the break about officiating, which I don't believe

980
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: is the reason why the Bills lost. I do believe this.

981
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: They put together these so called all star cruise guys

982
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: have never worked together before, and they clearly are out

983
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: of sorts. I don't think this crew, that Tony currenta

984
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: crews Saturday's game was functioning well. I saw similar instances

985
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: in the two games yesterday. They weren't operating like a

986
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: normal crew does, and usually look a normal crew is

987
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 1: not infatible either. But I just think there was kind

988
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: of an effort to make calls that weren't there, including

989
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: the Cody forward blindside block which was not there, and

990
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: the guy kind of overreached and overstepped his mounds and

991
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: through a flag. And I think there are a couple

992
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 1: of instances of that, not only in the Bills game,

993
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 1: but in all of the games that I watched over

994
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: the weekend, the two others I watched over the week Yeah,

995
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: I agree, if Yeah, there's a lot going on, and

996
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: you can always you can always split hairs particular end.

997
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: Let's face it, they were not the only ones you're

998
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: gonna go back in. The New Orleans Saints are in

999
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: the same spot the Buffalo Bills were. They lost in

1000
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: overtime on a touchdown with where it was, you know,

1001
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: offensive pass interference, another passage right right exactly. Uh, and

1002
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: you know the Patriots and and uh, Mike Vrabel bleeding

1003
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: the clock away by just keep taking delay a game

1004
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: penalties on a running clock. All of that stuff goes

1005
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: into the mix. And all these teams have you know,

1006
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,919
Speaker 1: their reasons because these games are so close, and they're

1007
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: they're decided by such a thin margin, particularly on this

1008
00:47:55,160 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: last weekend, that uh, the ripple effect of one call

1009
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: makes a difference. Now, I'll grant you this, that kickoff

1010
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: to begin the second half. You're talking about a game

1011
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 1: where nobody, everybody's having trouble scoring points, and to give

1012
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: a team free six points, Yeah, that's big. Would you

1013
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: want to see that. Well, yeah, I mean yeah, I

1014
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: mean you'd love the free touchdown. As for being fair,

1015
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: how how hot would you be if that happened? Right? Yeah?

1016
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So yeah, just try and look at

1017
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: it from both sides. And I'm glad that. I'm just

1018
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm okay with the way they did that. I know

1019
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: it costs the Bills maybe a free touchdown, but you

1020
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: know what, free you're gonna get free touchdowns. You're not

1021
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna go anywhere, just forget it. So I get it,

1022
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: and it's and it's a frustrating place to live, but

1023
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: that's where they are. And I don't have any problem

1024
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: with them not giving them a free touchdown because the

1025
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: kid had no intention of bringing it out and just

1026
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: because he doesn't do the formality of taking a knee

1027
00:48:55,560 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: should not affect a game of that magnitude. All Right,

1028
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: we got a break here. Chris Brown, when we come

1052
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,640

Speaker 1: stayed at the home of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on

1056
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,600

00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: ten through two nineteen. Patriots owner Bob krafts hope and

1061
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: prayer is that Tom Brady resigns for a first time

1062
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: in the generation. The Patriots owner enters an offseason not

1063
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 1: sure will be starting quarterback. Brady is scheduled to become

1064
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: a free agent for the first time in his career

1065
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: in mid March this year. But the second straight year,

1066
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: the Saints season ended with a question about whether a

1067
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 1: pass interference flag should have been thrown. Officials decided both

1068
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: on the field and after reviewing replayed there was not

1069
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: enough contact to charge Vikings tight and Kyle Rudolph with

1070
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: offensive pass interference after there appeared to be some hand

1071
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: fighting with cornerback P J. Williams. There was a four

1072
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 1: yard touchdown catch the Vikings one at twenty six twenty

1073
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: the final score. And that's the update from One Bill's Drive.

1074
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker joined by our buddy Chris Brown,

1075
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: Bills Insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com in studio with us. Chris,

1076
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: how are you today? How are you holding up? I'm

1077
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: doing all right? Good. Yeah, we don't feel sorry for

1078
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: ourselves here right, not to feel sorry about I didn't

1079
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: play okay, good, that's good that you clarify that. Still

1080
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: we were talking. You think you're like with We all

1081
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: liked this roster. We love you know, Josh Tremaine, all

1082
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: the guys were really you know, we got a lot

1083
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: of affection for this team that's brought us to the

1084
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: playoffs and played so well during the regular seas. That's

1085
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: hard for us so to lay this loss at their feet.

1086
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, why is that? What do you say that? Guys?

1087
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: We're we got We took like fifteen calls in the

1088
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: last segment about how the the officials are to blame

1089
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: for the Bills losing it. And I don't buy it.

1090
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: I as a former player, the former players get it's me.

1091
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: It's us. It's not the officiating. It's not home or away,

1092
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: it's not the crowd, it's not the coaching staff. It's us.

1093
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: You don't blame the officiating, right, you know, I mean

1094
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: not for the loss, but you don't blame it. The

1095
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: main reason why is because if you add it all

1096
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: up from start to finish, Uh, there were more missed

1097
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: opportunities by the Bills in this game and lack of

1098
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: execution than there were missed calls um. And then you know,

1099
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: and there were more plays made by the Texans. And

1100
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: that might sound like an oversimplification, but you can run

1101
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 1: down the list, and you know, maybe in one half

1102
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: of football, you can count more missed opportunities by the

1103
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: Bills in this game or lack of execution, than you

1104
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 1: can count missed calls by the officials. The officials missed

1105
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 1: some calls. Maybe they adhered to the letter of the law.

1106
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: You know. I know a lot of people are up

1107
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: in arms about the Cody Ford peelback block, but under

1108
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: the letter of the law. He's facing his own end

1109
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: zone and that right, and most people, but most people

1110
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: see it enforced on end zone. Um I don't, I

1111
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: think because that is usually uh an infraction that's called

1112
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: on a return play and not usually on offense. You know,

1113
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: you don't see it that much on offense because it's

1114
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: so it seemed so outlandished. The saddest part about that

1115
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 1: entire play he didn't have to make that block. Josh

1116
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: already won. He had outleveraged that player. Cody didn't even

1117
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 1: have to touch him, and it would have been fine,

1118
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: went for a four yard game, but he hadnletely out

1119
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,800
Speaker 1: leverage the linebacker and Cody peeled Black to look for

1120
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: more work, which is admirable. But you got to have

1121
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: the presence of mine there to know I'm facing my

1122
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: own end zone here. Let me just stand in the way.

1123
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 1: You know, as soon as you're facing your own end zone,

1124
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna get called for it, at least with that

1125
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: crew apparently so so' and that's how it is. But

1126
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: you can run down the list. Third drive of the game, okay,

1127
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: for the Bills, third and ten at the Houston twenty two,

1128
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: John Brown can't get his feet down. Okay, it's first

1129
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: in goal if he does. And then the next drive

1130
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: after that, they're down at the Houston twenty two yard line. Again,

1131
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: good throw by Alan, Duke can't make the catch in

1132
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: the end zone. It's a touchdown. Yeah. A couple of

1133
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: plays before that, though, I have a problem with and

1134
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: that's fine, Okay, that's fine, But I'm just running down

1135
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: the missed opportunities here. That's seven points instead you only

1136
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 1: get three. First play of the second half, Watson, Watson

1137
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: throws laid back across the field, Saran drops an interception

1138
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: at the Houston thirty yard line. You got the ball

1139
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: at the thirty yard line. You're getting at least three there,

1140
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 1: at least three if you don't gain a single yard.

1141
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: After the turnover in the third quarter, wat beats forward

1142
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: off the ball clean and Alan gets sacked in two

1143
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: point four seconds. I time the play. Okay, people are

1144
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: gonna say, how does Alan take a sack there? You know,

1145
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: after the turnover in the third quarter, he's got two

1146
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: point four seconds to throw the ball and he's got

1147
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: what coming clean on him because he beat forward off

1148
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: the line. So that's on a third and eight at

1149
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: the Houston twelve yard line. I mean, that's a bad play,

1150
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: but it's because of execution upfront. Houston ball first and

1151
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: ten at the Buffalo twenty read option play by Watson.

1152
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,879
Speaker 1: Watch Trent Murphy on that play. He can't find the ball,

1153
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't hold the edge, he cuts inside, and now

1154
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: Watson has the whole outside to exploit. Bad play by

1155
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: the defensive end. You didn't hold the edge, you didn't

1156
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: keep containment. Once Watson's out the gate, that plays over Steve.

1157
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 1: What Chris is going through here is a manifestation of

1158
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: what you say about a close game like this, and

1159
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: maybe the season that the Bills are in comes down

1160
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: to just a few plays. Right. So I got a sheet,

1161
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: and I know I got more of us. It's an overtime.

1162
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: It's an overtime playoff game. I said there was twenty.

1163
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: You got a list of what thirty? There's every aime.

1164
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's a one play game, and

1165
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 1: you can take a play from the first quarter as

1166
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: well as the last quarter, and that's the difference. That's

1167
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: where and Brownie, that's where we live and from the

1168
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: start and we start to finish in this game, you

1169
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: want to talk just about the quarterbacks from start to finish.

1170
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 1: In this game, Josh Allen made more plays collectively in

1171
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: the passing game than Deshaun Watson did. Watson just made

1172
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: more of him at the end of the game. Yeah,

1173
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: it counts right, and they couldn't. He had the worst

1174
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: yardage total in the first half of a game in

1175
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 1: his career. He had sixty two total yards from scrimmage,

1176
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: rushing and passing. You know, always e Watson today, know

1177
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: what he says, I work it. Yeah, he made the

1178
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: biggest play the game when he spun away about this

1179
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: two guys getting down bearing down at him, and what

1180
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: about this? After half half up? So they do all

1181
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: that stuff and they come out and the Bills have

1182
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: got him on the ropes in the first half, and

1183
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: they come back out in the second half, and you

1184
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: can make it a case then if by what you're saying,

1185
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: then is that the Houston Texans coaching staff made better

1186
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: adjustments than the Bills coaching staff because they overcame a

1187
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: thirteen or sixteen point deficit. Yeah. I don't know. I

1188
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: don't know how much credit I want to heap on

1189
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: the on the Texans coaching staff. Bill O'Brien and overtime. Why,

1190
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: that's exactly why Bill O'Brien and overtime has the ball

1191
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: and the lead, and you know he's in Buffalo territory

1192
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: and he sits on the ball and overtime you can't

1193
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: have the lead at regulation. Sorry, the regulation. And this

1194
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: is after the back to back play disaster fourth and

1195
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 1: twenty seven and going for it, which I didn't understand

1196
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: at all. Um, how do you get followed up followed

1197
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: up by you know, a sack for a total loss

1198
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: of thirty four yards. So now Houston's got the ball

1199
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: in Buffalo territory up nineteen sixteen and Bill O'Brien goes

1200
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies coach conservative and gives the ball back, right.

1201
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that was horrendous. That was maybe the most

1202
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: horrendous series by any coach in the entire game. The

1203
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: fact that the Bill's got the ball back in that

1204
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: situation was unforgivable. And if there's anything that should be

1205
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: happening today, Bill O'Brien should be down at Deshaun Watson's

1206
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: feet and kissing him because that was the worst series

1207
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: in the entire game. Yeah, and that's and that really

1208
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: comes down to it as well. One of the things.

1209
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: You look at this this game and I don't people

1210
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 1: can call in any game, shouldn't even daunt overtime. So

1211
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you. I thought the Bills coaching

1212
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:00,040
Speaker 1: staff did a really nice job throughout that game, and

1213
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien's guys made more plays. I mean the play

1214
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: of the game with Deshaun Watson, you know, coming out.

1215
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean the Bill's scheme. Two guys rushing open on

1216
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback, uncover, zero blitz, they get untouched. They got

1217
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: two guys untouched on the quarterback, and the guy makes

1218
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: a play that's not that's not coaching on Houston's part.

1219
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: They got outdone well and it's their guy making a

1220
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: play exactly that's right, exact into the game. He gets

1221
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: exactly what he wants. And again it's execution, so rand

1222
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: Neil doesn't wrap up. He's going for a kill shot

1223
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: at one hundred miles an hour, which is you don't

1224
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: have to go in there. And this was a problem

1225
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: that I had with the Bill's blitzing execution. The calls

1226
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: were good, but you had players screaming in there in

1227
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour. You made it easy for

1228
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson to just take one step to the right

1229
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: or left, and now you're five yards passed him in

1230
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: the backfield and he's got more time to make a play.

1231
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: Two guys did it on that play. When you come up,

1232
00:59:56,440 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: when you come in untouched like that, you cannot go

1233
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: past the quarterback. You cannot run one hundred miles an

1234
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: hour to the quarterback. Break down and rap and just

1235
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: just hug him. Just want running their plant, stop hard,

1236
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: right at him and hug him. Because what he does

1237
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: is he uses your momentum to get out of it,

1238
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: and he did it against two guys at once. All

1239
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: you gotta do is get hit, because he's not gonna

1240
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: stand there in the face of a guy rushing right

1241
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,439
Speaker 1: at him and stands still. He's not gonna throw the ball,

1242
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: obviously he didn't. He's not gonna use your momentum to

1243
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: go pass you and then run away from you. He's

1244
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: gonna tuck it and hold on to it, and just

1245
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: you grab it. You don't even have take him to

1246
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: the ground. It plays over. But you got guys going

1247
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: in there a thousand miles per hour, all helter skelter,

1248
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 1: and they run sixteen feet past the guy. The only

1249
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: reason Matt Milana wasn't sitting on Sean mcdermot's laps because

1250
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: he bumped into him. Milana would have been scraping his

1251
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,919
Speaker 1: face mask five yards passed to Shaun Watson. If Shaun

1252
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Watson wasn't in his way, you gotta just stop at

1253
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: the court. You can't run pass. It's fundamental breakdown. Wrap

1254
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: them up. You know you cannot run past a quarterback

1255
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: in the pocket. And both guys did it. Ye Oh

1256
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: my gosh, it drives men. Chris Brown is with us.

1257
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: Let's take a phone call. It's Kate in Tonawanda. Hello, Kate,

1258
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: you're on the year. Hey guys, how are you doing? Okay?

1259
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: We show all love you guys a lot since you're

1260
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: taking my call. Um, I just wanted to say that

1261
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: I really felt like we had a huge disappointing breakdown

1262
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: from the coaching staff today. Herb Yeah. The other day, Um,

1263
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: I said to my brother before the game started, I said,

1264
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's really gonna be necessarily any players

1265
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: that make amazing plays. It's just going to be our

1266
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: coaches better than their coach. And you know, between you

1267
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: guys already talked about the play before the end of half.

1268
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I think we know what we have in Josh Allen,

1269
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: a three to four project, three to four year projects.

1270
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: He's only in year two. Um, he gets a little

1271
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: too hyper sometimes. I think they OC really needed to

1272
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: have a full game plan for him and really only

1273
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: had a first drive game plan for him to to

1274
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: like keep his mind occupied, to keep his speed occupied.

1275
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: And they kind of gave him one drive and said, Okay, now,

1276
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 1: don't do anything for three hours, just get inside your head.

1277
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: And I think it really turned into you know, spiraling downward.

1278
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: I just I just, yeah, okay, what do you think

1279
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: though about I mean, this is a team had a

1280
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:27,959
Speaker 1: sixteen point lead with a quarter and a half to play.

1281
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, how you know how much more should he

1282
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: have had to do in that's position? And you know,

1283
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: I'd be interested to see what are your thoughts are

1284
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: about the rest of the coaching staff on the defensive

1285
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: side as well as the offensive side. Yeah. I just

1286
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: think that's kind of what led into spiraling out of

1287
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: control across the team. I kind of just grab grab

1288
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: hold of the whole team and spiral downward from there.

1289
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: But I just I think, you know, ten Mouton at

1290
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 1: the end of the second half, and I said, if

1291
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: we don't make this a three score game going in

1292
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: the half, we're gonna be in trouble in the second half.

1293
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: And it just seemed like on offense, the OC was

1294
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 1: happy to get into comfortable fields over ranges, not even

1295
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,160
Speaker 1: making a time to get Yes, that's where I'm going

1296
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: to disagree Yields here, Kate, listen, here's what Brownie asked.

1297
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: End of the first half. You take a shot in

1298
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,439
Speaker 1: the end zone. The play is there to be made

1299
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: to Duke Williams and he does not come up with

1300
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: the football. If you want to argue that they should

1301
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 1: have taken two shots at the end zone, maybe three,

1302
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: then that's fine. I'll take that. But you can't tell

1303
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: me they didn't try it. They tried it and it

1304
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: was there and it did not execute. Duke Williams had

1305
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: what did he have? Ten targets in this game? He

1306
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: had five catches. You want to know what he had

1307
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: last week? Twelve targets, six catches. That's why he was

1308
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: inactive for so many weeks, because he's not consistent enough

1309
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: on offense, making enough plays. He does make good plays.

1310
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: There are encouraging signs he's not there yet. He's not

1311
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 1: there yet. And there's a lot of players on this

1312
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: team where you could say that, because when the chips

1313
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: are down, they're not making the plays that have to

1314
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: be made, and that's why the offense doesn't score enough points. Well,

1315
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: here's the thing. They make enough plays to go tennis

1316
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: six to get into the playoffs. But when you don't

1317
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: have never had enough margin of error with points scored

1318
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: to say hey, we're better. You know they're they're just

1319
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: they've just been good enough given the compliment of a

1320
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: great defense, to score enough so the defense actually wins

1321
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: the game for you. This is an offense that has

1322
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: been challenged to score points. And in the final game

1323
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: of the season, as you would expect, they got into

1324
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: that point and they came up short like they did

1325
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: and six times during the regular season and there, and

1326
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's not just the receivers. It's not just Josh,

1327
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: it's not just the defense maybe given up yards on

1328
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: the ground when they needed to get a stop. There

1329
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: were protection issues also, there were protection breakdowns. You can

1330
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: run down the list. Okay, I'll go to the play

1331
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: that everybody remembers, which is third and thirteen at the

1332
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Houston twenty eight. They're down nineteen sixteen. Okay, Bills have

1333
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: the ball. The Texans drop seven. They rush forward. Ford,

1334
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: who's the right tackle, passes wad off inside. He's going

1335
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: inside on a twist. Four linemen four go to JJ Watt. Okay,

1336
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: Lee Smith, who's the tight end on the left side

1337
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,959
Speaker 1: of the formation, takes the safety who's coming on a rush.

1338
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: It leaves Singletary one on one with Whitney Merciless. Okay,

1339
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: now you can't tell me there's a protection scheme for

1340
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: one on one Singletary and Whitney Merciless. That's not a

1341
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 1: fair fight. And it looks like on the play that

1342
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: Singletary is expecting inside help because he takes the outside

1343
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: shoulder of Merciless. But there's no inside help because four

1344
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: linemen converge on JJ Watt when they only rushed four players,

1345
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: and so Merciless is he runs over Singletary as you

1346
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: would expect in that matchup, and he's all in Josh's

1347
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: kitchen before he's even at the top of his drop right,

1348
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: and so then you know you've got to you can

1349
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: take the loss or he gets he throws it and

1350
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: it's intentional grounding. But that's a huge breakdown at a

1351
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: critical moment in the game by your offensive line just

1352
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: not getting the protection done. When they only rushed four.

1353
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: You had six in seven seven in you had seven,

1354
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: You had five lineman Lee Smith and Devin Singletary, you

1355
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: had max protection, and you couldn't handle four rushers because

1356
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 1: you blew the assignment from John and Buffalo. Hello John,

1357
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: are you guys? We're doing well? We don't okay, go ahead? Great? Good.

1358
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: So I wanted to stow off by saying this. I

1359
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: really like Sean McDermott at like being I like both

1360
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: these guys, think they're great. I think they're awesome. I

1361
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: just feel like Nick dermott let the team down. And

1362
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this sarcastically, but he always says trust

1363
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: the process. He didn't trust the guys that advanced the

1364
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 1: Bills the playoffs. And what I mean by that is

1365
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: I was watching the game and Duke Williams was out

1366
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: there the whole game, and I'm like, why is him Beasley,

1367
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 1: Why is h McKenzie out there? And it's like, Alan

1368
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: needs to be around the guys that he's comfortable with,

1369
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: especially in that environment. And every time the book, Williams

1370
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: is out there. He hasn't played with Allen except in

1371
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: a Tennessee game. That was it. They have no chemistry

1372
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: game chemistry. I would disagree with that because I mean,

1373
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: he hit him on an over route for twenty yards

1374
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,439
Speaker 1: on a third and nine. That was a huge play.

1375
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,960
Speaker 1: That was right after Houston scored to make it sixteen

1376
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: to eight. They've got all the momentum, they need a

1377
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: third down conversion, and he hits Duke Williams for twenty

1378
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 1: yards on an over route in the middle. And every

1379
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: time Duke Williams was on the field, so was Cole Beasley.

1380
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: They were on the field at the same time, and

1381
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: they went to Beasley. If you want to argue that

1382
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: they didn't go to Beasley enough later in the game,

1383
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: I'll join you on that. And maybe they depended too

1384
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 1: much on Duke Williams, but I gotta believe the attention

1385
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 1: was more on Cole Beasley in coverage than it was

1386
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: on Duke Williams. So he's the open option and Josh's

1387
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 1: got to take with the defense gives him. John and

1388
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Chris Steve likes to point out that it's the quarterback

1389
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: who makes a decision where the ball's going at the point.

1390
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this. You talk about and John

1391
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: the caller, you talk about how Josh doesn't have any

1392
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 1: chemistry with Duke Williams. Quarterbacks don't throw the ball the guys,

1393
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: they don't have chemistry with He threw the ball at

1394
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 1: ten times at Duke Williams. I think he feels just

1395
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: fine with him, you know, I think he feels just

1396
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: fine with Duke Williams. And the fact, go ahead, go ahead,

1397
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: what he never played with him in a game, I

1398
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 1: get it. But John, I mean they practice together twenty

1399
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,719
Speaker 1: four hours a day. I mean, the guys live together.

1400
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: So I mean it's it comes down to and I'll

1401
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 1: say this, if you want to make called Duke for

1402
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: one thing, and one of the reasons I noticed, Duke

1403
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: doesn't get a lot of separation when he's on those

1404
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: one on one route. So Josh's got a tight window

1405
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: to throw into. And Duke's strong on the ball, so

1406
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: he can come up with those plays. But you know

1407
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:48,799
Speaker 1: he comes up with him what half of his targets

1408
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 1: he comes up with. So I don't I don't buy

1409
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 1: the fact that Josh Allen doesn't feel Duck comfortable. Duke

1410
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: Quaren you can talk as much as you want about

1411
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: about I'm sorry, go ahead. I would just say this,

1412
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: in a game like this, you want to go to

1413
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: your most reliable, consistent players like Casschoo. When you were

1414
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: out there, Kelly would throw it to you because you

1415
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: were looking. Brady throws it to Edelman and Gronk. This

1416
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 1: is the most crucial game and he's that's never even

1417
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: been out on the field. All right, Why why are

1418
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: you blaming the coaching staff for that? Josh is the

1419
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: one throwing it. Yeah, but why are they twitting Duke

1420
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 1: out there? Why don't you go with Beasley, McKenzie, Brown,

1421
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: the guys, I've been doing it for you all year.

1422
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: How many how many catches do they have? I mean,

1423
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: what did they rank in passing this year? Yeah? I

1424
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: mean they were terrible and passing? Yeah, I mean I

1425
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing, you know, you talk about McKenzie.

1426
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm not buying McKenzie. I'm sorry. Mackenzie is a gadget

1427
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 1: receiver that they used for jet sweeps and a lot

1428
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: of those toss passes behind the line of scrimmage. They

1429
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: tried to go to him on a third and ten.

1430
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 1: He's on a comeback route along the Bill's sideline, he

1431
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: falls down. It's almost a pick at the end of

1432
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 1: the game. So no, you want to argue Beasley, I'm

1433
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: with you there. But I know I was watching John

1434
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 1: Brown a lot in this game. He was getting mugged

1435
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 1: on a lot of play, and the rest were letting

1436
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: him play yesterday because there were a couple of defensive

1437
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,640
Speaker 1: holdings the Bills could have been called for two and

1438
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: they didn't. They were letting these guys play yesterday. But

1439
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: John Brown has a problem when you're not calling that stuff.

1440
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 1: We saw him in the Baltimore game. Their cornerbacks were

1441
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 1: enormously physical with John Brownie had a tough time making

1442
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: plays in that game. It was the same thing yesterday.

1443
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 1: They were all over him. He wasn't getting separation because

1444
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 1: they were grabbing and holding and pulling on him, and

1445
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: so Josh had to go to other options. And that's

1446
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: why Duke Williams was targeted ten times, because even when

1447
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 1: he's covered, he's open, and you just had to hope

1448
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: that that Duke could make enough of those plays. He

1449
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: didn't make enough of You. If you're worried about who's

1450
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:41,560
Speaker 1: getting targeted, there's only one person to look at, and

1451
01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: it's Josh. That's it. It's not Brian day Bolt, it's

1452
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: not Sean McDermott, it's not the receiver. It's the guy

1453
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: pulling the triggers. That's who decide. And despite all that,

1454
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,759
Speaker 1: I think you know, and I think Josh has taken

1455
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: more of the criticism than he probably deserves in this game. Yes,

1456
01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: bone headed headed play with the lateral. Okay, that was ridiculous.

1457
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Not a good play. Chucking it deep to Pat DeMarco

1458
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: when he's got Devin Singletary on the left sideline standing

1459
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: there by himself like he's waiting for a bus for

1460
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: ten seconds. He could have thrown it to him and

1461
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 1: gotten at least fifteen yards on the play. And he's

1462
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:18,280
Speaker 1: going for broke because he knows it's only a two

1463
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 1: man pass rush. Not a smart play either. So we

1464
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: did fall back into hero mode a little bit, but

1465
01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: on the whole start to finish, I don't think he

1466
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 1: can pin this one on Josh. There were a lot

1467
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: of people that missed assignments in this game. Yesterday, Chris

1468
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 1: has more to say about Josh Allen wrote a post

1469
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: forum on Buffalo bills dot Com. We'll talk about that,

1470
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: and we'll get Chris's answer to the question, if you

1471
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: could change one play, and just one play from Saturday's game,

1472
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: which play would it be? Think about that, Chris, We're

1473
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 1: back with more. Come on back with us One Bill's Live,

1474
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: presented by Kalata Health from the Seneca Studio in Orchard Park.

1475
01:11:48,960 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio, One Bill five, John Murphy,

1476
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. We're talking with Chris Brown for a couple

1477
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: more minutes here this hour, we'll take more of your

1478
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 1: phone calls as well. I don't know what you think

1479
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: if you could change one play from Saturday's game, what

1480
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 1: play it might be? Give us a call, let us know.

1481
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:16,640
Speaker 1: Eight three fifty toll free one eight eight eight five

1482
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. We've heard you talk about Josh.

1483
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: What's the matter? Would you like? Would you care to

1484
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 1: answer that Twitter pole question? If you could change one

1485
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 1: play Chris from Saturday's game, what might it be? I'll

1486
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 1: offer you the same suggestions and you can go somewhere else.

1487
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 1: Is that the blindside call on Cody Ford and overtime? Nope?

1488
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: Is that the Texans converting third and eighteen to pass

1489
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: the time on Jones? Oh? No, that's not it. The

1490
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: third and eighteen is a past to Duke. Yeah, I

1491
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: want s ran Neal wrapping up or Matt Milano wrapping

1492
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 1: up to Shawn Watson at the end of the game. Okay,

1493
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: that's that's my play. Yeah, me too. Watson Escapeslits and

1494
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: Jones makes it. Only sixteen percent say that'd be the

1495
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: play they would choose, which surprises me. That was the

1496
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:58,599
Speaker 1: biggest play of the game, I thought, Am I wrong?

1497
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: Isn't that the biggest the game? You're both wrong? Well,

1498
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 1: what would essentially wins the game for them? Yeah, well

1499
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: that's the play. I want the last few goal to miss.

1500
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,720
Speaker 1: Let's go the other way. Well, thank you very much.

1501
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: I want very simple, very simple. Well, you're telling me

1502
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 1: that that's it. You don't want to all that other

1503
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: stuff and going on the wayside, all it all goes

1504
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: away if that kick goes wide, just our ball is

1505
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 1: still the other third and eighteen makes it third or

1506
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 1: fourth and twenty, And knowing Bill O'Brien, no, no, no,

1507
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: that no, if they missed the field goal, it's our

1508
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: ball goal the other way. No, I know that. But

1509
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is on that third and eighteen play

1510
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 1: if Saran Neil or Matt maloneill wrap up. Now it's

1511
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 1: fourth and twenty something, and knowing Bill O'Brien, he's punting.

1512
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: He just did. I thought that was clearly the biggest

1513
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:44,759
Speaker 1: play the game. So you're getting the ball back anyway.

1514
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: It's different viewpoint from our fans. Now, tell me about

1515
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: you wrote about Josh Allen. It's on the website, Chris said.

1516
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 1: And it's more than just a recap of what went

1517
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 1: on Saturday. It's kind of a season long. Yeah, it's

1518
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 1: really not a recap of Saturday much at all. It's

1519
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 1: kind of a we're trying to encapsul his second season,

1520
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,679
Speaker 1: first as a starter, first full season as a starter,

1521
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: and you know the fact that this game is gonna

1522
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: stick with him and serve as a chip on his

1523
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 1: shoulder I think is a good thing. I think the

1524
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 1: fact that he cannot go out again this weekend and

1525
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,719
Speaker 1: play another game to forget about this one may actually

1526
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: fuel him all the more to improve himself in the

1527
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: off season. And I thought it was very telling that

1528
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 1: the first thing that he said, because I asked him,

1529
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, what do you have on your personal to

1530
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 1: do list? The first thing out of his mouth was

1531
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 1: his mechanics. He still knows that there are certain elements

1532
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 1: of his passing mechanics that do not make him as

1533
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 1: efficient to quarterback as maybe some of the top ones

1534
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 1: in the league. And does he acknowledge that that comes

1535
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 1: and goes, because there are times, well he didn't get

1536
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: that deep into the weeds on his mechanics are perfect, yes,

1537
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: and he throws perfect, and then other times when it

1538
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: just is something else. Yeah, it's in the round, it's

1539
01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 1: high and wide. Yeah, So I think he he knows

1540
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:04,680
Speaker 1: that his mechanics have to be more sound on a

1541
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: down to down, series to series basis, play after play

1542
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 1: after play after play after play to the point where

1543
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: he's not even thinking about it. That's always going to

1544
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: vary with him because he's the type of quarterback who

1545
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: makes a lot of plays off schedule when it's very

1546
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: hard to have your feet under you in the proper fashion.

1547
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: But he's going to have to practice that as well,

1548
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:28,680
Speaker 1: knowing that's a part of his game too. But in totality,

1549
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 1: what I try to capture here in this story is

1550
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:36,759
Speaker 1: where he was up, and he was largely up across

1551
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: the board with a host of different things, you know,

1552
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: from completion percentage to time getting the ball out, which

1553
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: I thought was one of his fifty eight point eight

1554
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: I said at the beginning of this year, if he

1555
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: could get somewhere between fifty eight and sixty percent in

1556
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 1: his second season, that would be a good jump. There's

1557
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: still room to grow there, absolutely, But as I've told

1558
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: you guys on this show before, I don't think he's

1559
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: ever going to be a Drew Brees Aaron Rodgers sixty

1560
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 1: eight percent passer. But if he can get somewhere between

1561
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 1: sixty and sixty three percent when he's, you know, at

1562
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 1: his peak, you'll be able to win with him because

1563
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 1: of the plays that he can make off schedule and

1564
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 1: because of what he can do with his legs. U

1565
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: one of the more encouraging numbers, real quick, before you

1566
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: before you get to your points, Steve. Last year he

1567
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: was last in the league in amount of time to

1568
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: get the ball out. It was three point three seconds

1569
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: on average. This year he reduced that to two point

1570
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 1: eight five seconds, which doesn't sound like much, but it's

1571
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: the difference between It's the difference between getting sacked fifty

1572
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 1: times and maybe getting sacked thirty times, So it's twenty

1573
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: negative plays. No, it is not, but there's there's a

1574
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: recognition that's the responsibility of the quarterback to say I've

1575
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: got nothing here, I'm just gonna get rid of it.

1576
01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw it away. It took almost half

1577
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: a season for him to start doing that, as we know,

1578
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,640
Speaker 1: because he was still trying to play hero ball in

1579
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: Week four against New England. But he eventually got there.

1580
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 1: And you know there was another numbers by the way,

1581
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 1: well right, but I would say, I would say by

1582
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: half the season was when he fully got it out

1583
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:16,680
Speaker 1: of his system. There was still some weeks, still some

1584
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: wacky plays, yes, But his touchdown interception ratio in the

1585
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: pocket last year it was a one to one ratio

1586
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, nine interceptions. This year it was five to two.

1587
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: Fifteen touchdowns, six picks, and making plays from the pocket

1588
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 1: was a monumental issue in his game last year. And

1589
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 1: I think it's gotten considerably better. It's not perfect, but

1590
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 1: it's considerably better. And his passer rating in the pocket

1591
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 1: went from seventy five point nine to almost ninety one.

1592
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: And the other number that I put in this story

1593
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:52,920
Speaker 1: two was when when his passer rating was ninety or

1594
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 1: above the bills were seven to zero and he was

1595
01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 1: for the year passer rating eighty five point three. So

1596
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: that does not look like a large jump that he

1597
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: has to make from a total quarterback play perspective to

1598
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 1: get to even a better winning scenario for this team

1599
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 1: weekend and weekend, and that's what's encouraged. I just think

1600
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 1: the like the extra percentage points in his completion percentage,

1601
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback rating, all of that stuff, all of the

1602
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 1: things that where his shortcomings with the places where you'd

1603
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:29,680
Speaker 1: like to see him improve are all from the neck up,

1604
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 1: and that to me is sign plus the pattern of

1605
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: improvement we've seen from him, and to YouTube Brown, you've

1606
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: seen it. He's done that. His mental game as a

1607
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: quarterback has gotten better and better and better. And I

1608
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:48,639
Speaker 1: think in this game, this last Sunday Saturday, I think

1609
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 1: we saw him regress a little bit emotionally where he

1610
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 1: was just off his rocket at the very end of

1611
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: the game. Yes, and that's where he's still kind of

1612
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 1: his default at this point. But I think too that

1613
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 1: all the stuff we've seen him improve upon, we're kind

1614
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 1: of in the same place where if he just continues

1615
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: to get a little better, make one or two three

1616
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:11,799
Speaker 1: better decisions in a ball game. This team is vastly different,

1617
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: vastly different offensively. If he like, if he hits the

1618
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary shot that you saw, if he hits Cole

1619
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 1: Beasley instead of trying the desperation pass down to Pat DeMarco,

1620
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 1: all of those plays like that. And plus there's no

1621
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: question someone's not his fault, the offensive line. And you

1622
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: know they all of a sudden, it's a jailbreak that

1623
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: happened a couple of times late in the New England

1624
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,640
Speaker 1: game a week sixteen, where all of a sudden, you

1625
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: get down close with a one score game and all

1626
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the offensive line just like evaporates. That

1627
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,560
Speaker 1: stuff happened too. But I think for Josh there's no

1628
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 1: doubt he's got it under the hood. And my point,

1629
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 1: way back when we started this this segment, this chip

1630
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:55,799
Speaker 1: on the shoulder, this loss like this gives you remember

1631
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:57,760
Speaker 1: it like it was yesterday. I mean I went through

1632
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: the the loss, the loss in Cincinnati in the AFC

1633
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: Championship Game the next year, the loss in Cleveland, the

1634
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:08,720
Speaker 1: loss super Bowl twenty five, And I think Bill's fans

1635
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: kind of felt it this weekend. You and I felt

1636
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 1: it this weekend, Murph. Yeah, and I told you you

1637
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: go through this season, we were riding this team and

1638
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: it was awesome. I mean it, what a fun team

1639
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 1: and what and now it's like now we're zero and zero.

1640
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: Yeah that's oh and oh we got to start at

1641
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: the bottom. We got to get out the you know,

1642
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 1: we get out our hiking boots and we gotta start

1643
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: climbing at stinking mountain again. We got to go through

1644
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 1: free agency and the draft. We got to build the

1645
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,600
Speaker 1: team from scratch. Now we're a long way ahead of

1646
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:37,679
Speaker 1: where we were a year ago because of the players

1647
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 1: we already have. But man oh, man if and the

1648
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: players Josh included, this doesn't go away, right, And I

1649
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 1: asked him, I asked him a question last week when

1650
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 1: he's available to the media, like going into the game.

1651
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: And I think because he had been asked questions that

1652
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: were somewhat similar, you know, he kind of thought I

1653
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: was asking a similar question, and I really wasn't. I

1654
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 1: asked him, going into this game, how are you going

1655
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: to balance your competitive fire with the proper sense of

1656
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:16,719
Speaker 1: urgency to make plays in a playoff game? Because we've

1657
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: seen where his competitive fire has put him in a

1658
01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: bad situation or compound something. And we saw it at

1659
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: the end of his game. He took back to back

1660
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: sacks for a loss of thirty three yards. I put

1661
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: it on the lack of protection chiefly, but he put

1662
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: it on himself. You saw him slam the football down

1663
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 1: after the second sack, and as soon as I saw that,

1664
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 1: I said, we're in trouble, because I knew if he

1665
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 1: got a chance to get back on the field again,

1666
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: he was going to try to overcome and fix what

1667
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,920
Speaker 1: he felt was his fault. I'm gonna make up for that.

1668
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the big play to win us the game.

1669
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: And that's when he gets in trouble, and that's when

1670
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 1: he needs someone in his ear saying, that's not on you, man, right,

1671
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: you just had a two man rush come at you,

1672
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: clean two man rush with six men in protection. That's

1673
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 1: not on you. That's not on you, man, it's not

1674
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 1: And he puts it on himself because he thinks, you know,

1675
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 1: and and part of him he's a quarterback. He wants

1676
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 1: to shoulder the burden. He wants to be the leader,

1677
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 1: and he wants to help the team win the game.

1678
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 1: It's all admirable, but at this level, you can't take

1679
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 1: that and turn it into something that makes a negative

1680
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 1: even more compounded and worse. And he did it in

1681
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:42,599
Speaker 1: the New England game here in week four. He fell

1682
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 1: into that trap again at the end of the game

1683
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 1: on Saturday, unfortunately. All right, so this is up on

1684
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:52,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills dot com. What I'm listening, No, I am,

1685
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: I'm listening. I want to get back into Saturday's game.

1686
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: That's fine, But this is a piece on Buffalo Bills

1687
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: next time about Josh and where he stands after a

1688
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 1: six years start, you know, and how promising the future is.

1689
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: And I was just going to say, you went through

1690
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: all these stats and different things, and the biggest thing,

1691
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: most important thing, he finishes with ten wins as opposed

1692
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: to six wins, and that's what he cares about chiefly too.

1693
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 1: I just think he's got to get that. He's got

1694
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,920
Speaker 1: to harness that competitive fire. You don't I ask Mitch

1695
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: Morse about it yesterday in locker clean out, and he said, nope,

1696
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 1: I don't want him losing that competitive fire. I don't

1697
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: and I don't want him losing it either. I just

1698
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:31,040
Speaker 1: want him to harness it. And Mitch would agree with

1699
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: me on that. He said, Yes, if he can hone

1700
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: it in a way that makes it beneficial for our

1701
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: offense at all times, then we're really cooking. And that's

1702
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: it's It's a fine line, it really is, because I

1703
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: think everybody on that offense and the coaching staff knows

1704
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: his competitive fire gets everybody else jacked up. And that's

1705
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: a good thing. But there is a time where it

1706
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 1: has to be balanced, and it has to be competitive

1707
01:23:56,840 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 1: fire in a measured way. It can't get to the

1708
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,800
Speaker 1: point of being reckless. And that's what happened yesterday. At

1709
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:04,759
Speaker 1: the very end of the game. He started making crazy,

1710
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,639
Speaker 1: crazy plays, trying to make crazy plays to win the game.

1711
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 1: Phone call here, Anthony and Lancaster. Go ahead, Anthony, you're

1712
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 1: on the year. Hey, how's it going. I just want

1713
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:17,640
Speaker 1: to say thanks for taking my call. Um. I was.

1714
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 1: I was a little concerned about the play under review,

1715
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 1: Um Beasley's catch. I don't remember exactly where the first

1716
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:31,839
Speaker 1: down play the game after yeah, because they went under review.

1717
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: His knee came off the ground. They the announcer said

1718
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:40,720
Speaker 1: something about, well, initially it looked like he was down

1719
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 1: on the play, and then squirted ahead past the first downmarker. Yeah,

1720
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 1: they got it right. They accurately reviewed that and gave

1721
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: him the first down because his knee was down but

1722
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,680
Speaker 1: he wasn't touched, and then he lunged forward and then

1723
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: was touched. By the time he hit the ground, he

1724
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,120
Speaker 1: was pasted the first down marker. They did get it right.

1725
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:03,960
Speaker 1: What else, Anthony, go ahead? Oh no, I must, I must. Well,

1726
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 1: here's the thing, and I agree with you, Anthony. It

1727
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: was a bit confusing because Sean McDermott was sending the

1728
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 1: punt team out or the field goal team out, and

1729
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 1: it wasn't until the play clock was running down all

1730
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 1: that that they actually told him, no, it's a first down.

1731
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,719
Speaker 1: That's Sean right. Bar Orkez had to spike the ball

1732
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: because the officiating gave the sideline no communication about what

1733
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: was actually going to happen, and they couldn't find out

1734
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: whether it's going to be a first down or fourth

1735
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 1: down with the play clock running, so it was it

1736
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 1: was mishandled in that instance, maybe by the officiating crew.

1737
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 1: Although they got the call right, they didn't communicate it,

1738
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: so you got Boorkes having to spike the ball to

1739
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: stop the clock to take a couple of shots at

1740
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 1: the end. Yeah, and so there you go. And that's

1741
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: so that's the where the thing got confusing. Nobody knew

1742
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 1: whether it was going to be a first down. There's

1743
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: only one way. There was only one way for the

1744
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: coaching staff to play that the kicking unit had to

1745
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:54,679
Speaker 1: be on the field because if they said it wasn't

1746
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 1: a first down, they've got to be in position to

1747
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 1: kick it right away, right, and that that was their

1748
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 1: only choice. Put the kids can get it on the field.

1749
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 1: If we get the first down, I mean, it's a

1750
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: good thing. They went right to the contingency and knew

1751
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 1: they had to go spike it and and they practiced it,

1752
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: so by Orchis spiked the ball. But that's it was

1753
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 1: a tough spot right there to find it because they

1754
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: couldn't get the communication, and the officials on the field

1755
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,839
Speaker 1: couldn't help because they didn't know. They weren't the review process.

1756
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 1: And you know, and if if they get the first down,

1757
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 1: which they did, they wind the clock. Yeah, the clock

1758
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:24,240
Speaker 1: starts because he was in bounds when he went down,

1759
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 1: so all that stuff was coming down and once so

1760
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 1: you could see it on the broadcast. Sean McDermott was

1761
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: like going what And then it was and then it

1762
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 1: was like, what it's a first He's looking at the

1763
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 1: physically going, what's a first down? He's going to spike it,

1764
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 1: you know. So it was all nuts, it was. And

1765
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 1: that's and it wasn't because they weren't prepared for it.

1766
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 1: Actually they were prepared for it. They just didn't know

1767
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 1: what they were supposed to be doing. They couldn't get it,

1768
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:49,639
Speaker 1: couldn't get the call. Got a couple of minutes left

1769
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:51,600
Speaker 1: with Chris Brown. Come back and we'll we'll do that.

1770
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 1: It's one Bill's Live, presented by Collata Health from the

1771
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: Seneca Studio in or Park. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio,

Speaker 1: Brown gonna throw it back to Josh Allen. He's open,

1774
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:21,120
Speaker 1: fix the catch and he dives into the end zone. Touchdown, touchdown.

1775
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 1: John Brown throws his second touchdown of the year. This

1776
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 1: one did Josh Allen. Unbelievable, Josh Allen. But the game's

1780
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 1: couple of minutes left, Chris. It's clear you like Steve

1781
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 1: and I like most Bills fans I think today have

1782
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: just a number of agonizing questions about that game. Right,

1783
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:48,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a while to get over this lass. Yeah,

1784
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm it's Monday, it's two days removed. I'm

1785
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: pretty much good at this point. I watched her well sounded.

1786
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: I watched it back this morning because I couldn't do

1787
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 1: it over the weekend. I was just too tired. And

1788
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:03,040
Speaker 1: I put a stamp on what I thought the problem

1789
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 1: was after the game, and it didn't change as I

1790
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: said it was. It was a lack of execution issue.

1791
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 1: People were all up in arms about Brian Dable. I

1792
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 1: thought he called a very good game UM guided too,

1793
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 1: and they were just there were just too many missed assignments,

1794
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: too many missed plays that were there to be made

1795
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 1: UM And so for me, it's this one's. This one's

1796
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:35,280
Speaker 1: on the players not being sound in their execution or

1797
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:40,520
Speaker 1: in their diagnosis of what's coming at them. Be it protection,

1798
01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 1: be a pursuit on defense, whatever it was. There were

1799
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:49,680
Speaker 1: too many of those missteps in this game. And you

1800
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:52,599
Speaker 1: know you talk about hard lessons, people say you learn

1801
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 1: more when you lose than when you win. There's a

1802
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: lot to learn in this one because there were a

1803
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 1: lot of miscues, and not just by young players. You know,

1804
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned Trent Murphy. He can't find the football on

1805
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,719
Speaker 1: the read option. He gives up outside contained to Deshaun Watson.

1806
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 1: The play's over. It's a twenty yard touchdown. You got

1807
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer going along for a ride when Deshaun Watson's

1808
01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 1: got a full head of steam and he carries him

1809
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:16,360
Speaker 1: into the end zone. But if Trent Murphy sees the

1810
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 1: ball is still in Deshaun watsons, you got to hold

1811
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,160
Speaker 1: the edge no matter what. You can't guess that the

1812
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 1: running back has the ball. And that's a seven year

1813
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 1: veteran making that play, you know what I mean. So

1814
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't just young guys. I mean and you say, well,

1815
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:32,639
Speaker 1: it's one play, it's a touchdown in a three point game.

1816
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's just and there were guys. There were

1817
01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 1: young players that made mistakes too. Dawson Knox had protection

1818
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:43,360
Speaker 1: mistakes that put unwanted heat on Josh where he had

1819
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:45,680
Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball early. Those last two

1820
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: sacks he took at the end of regulation, both of them.

1821
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:50,760
Speaker 1: There were protection breakdowns, one of which came with just

1822
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:53,800
Speaker 1: a two man rush. I mean, that's just inexcusable. You

1823
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 1: can't have it, especially at that point in a football game.

1824
01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 1: So this one's on, it's on the players. It really

1825
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 1: is kind of I kind of agree with it. I

1826
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 1: thought that, and I said this earlier and that when

1827
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:06,760
Speaker 1: we were before the show, I was talking to merv

1828
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:09,160
Speaker 1: I would take this coaching staff over the Houston coaching

1829
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:12,120
Speaker 1: staff in a heartbeat, because the plays that the Houston

1830
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 1: Texans made, we're all off the page. There's particularly the

1831
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 1: one we're talking about with their their elite play, their

1832
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:20,519
Speaker 1: elite players, their guy and that's kind of been the

1833
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 1: way that franchise has been built over the course of

1834
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 1: you know, with all the way back to Andre Johnson

1835
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 1: and those guys. They had guys who would make elite

1836
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:30,599
Speaker 1: plays and hopefully they'd make enough of them to win

1837
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 1: the game. But but the Bills coaching staff would put

1838
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 1: together where they're gonna you know, they like I said,

1839
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 1: they schemed two guys running free right into the lap

1840
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 1: of a quarterback on a zero blitz at the critical

1841
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:44,640
Speaker 1: time was gonna be a it would turn into what

1842
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 1: would be or like a third and what thirteen, then second,

1843
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 1: third and thirteen right there, and in the other ways

1844
01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 1: it turns into a thirty four yard game. Games over um.

1845
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 1: The same thing with some of the other plays that

1846
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson made. The you know, the guys making a play.

1847
01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't that the coaching staff of the Bills got outflanked.

1848
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:08,519
Speaker 1: I heard some people calling in and we've mentioned it,

1849
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 1: the Pat DeMarco play where Josh throws the ball down

1850
01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 1: down the sideline and people are going, how and what

1851
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:18,519
Speaker 1: is Brian day Ball doing throwing the ball to Pat DeMarco. Folks,

1852
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 1: just just calm down, Brian. That was in my opinion,

1853
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:28,559
Speaker 1: that is a brilliant play call. Because you want two

1854
01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:31,920
Speaker 1: great athletes on the Texans defense to be double teaming

1855
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:36,760
Speaker 1: Pat DeMarco, want Devin Singletary standing by himself in an

1856
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 1: open field, he you've got. You schemed it perfectly. As

1857
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. You got a fat fullback running down

1858
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 1: the sidelines, double team by two elite athletes. You took

1859
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 1: them out of the play garden somebody who's your last option.

1860
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 1: It's perfect. It's exactly what you scheme for. And he

1861
01:31:56,320 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 1: throws it to the guy. Oh no, yeah, you guys

1862
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 1: throw it to Devin and that's what that's what we're

1863
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 1: really talking about. That's kind of the theme of this game.

1864
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 1: You got these moments where you just missed the shot.

1865
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:15,680
Speaker 1: You miss it, Duke Williams, Oh he had it, and

1866
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,680
Speaker 1: the guy hits his off on the ball loose you

1867
01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:22,640
Speaker 1: got um. You got the fourth down call with uh

1868
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 1: Beasley who he you know, he goes down, comes up

1869
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:29,080
Speaker 1: and gets that crucial first down. You know, all this

1870
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:31,599
Speaker 1: stuff that is just a miss. The two guys scheme

1871
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:34,679
Speaker 1: to give you one more unbelievable. How about the success

1872
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:36,840
Speaker 1: of the quarterback sweep that had not been running all

1873
01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:39,639
Speaker 1: season long? Forty two yards at the beginning of the game.

1874
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:42,719
Speaker 1: They run it at the end of the game. Okay,

1875
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 1: first and ten at the Houston forty oh yeah, they

1876
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 1: had it was there. It was Morse ignores Zach Cunningham.

1877
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:53,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't block him, No, he just chooses not to

1878
01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:55,920
Speaker 1: block him. I watched his play five times in a row.

1879
01:32:56,640 --> 01:33:01,360
Speaker 1: My only guess is that Mitch Morris thinks that Josh

1880
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 1: is gonna rot off his inside shoulder, not his outside shoulders,

1881
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:07,679
Speaker 1: so he lets him go by. That's my only guest

1882
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:09,599
Speaker 1: as to why he doesn't block him, because he runs

1883
01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 1: right across his field division and he lets him go.

1884
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:16,599
Speaker 1: I only I can only believe Mitch thinks he's gonna

1885
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:19,400
Speaker 1: run off his inside shoulder and take it up the scene.

1886
01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:23,719
Speaker 1: That's the only explanation. So instead of going for probably

1887
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:27,280
Speaker 1: fifteen yards, it's a one yard game. Yeah, Mitch, he

1888
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:30,040
Speaker 1: ran right across Mitch's face. I think him, didn't. It

1889
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 1: got there so fast, the guy flash late. Mitch was

1890
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 1: looking inside, and he flashed so late he couldn't even

1891
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: get his hands out to like jam it. He didn't

1892
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:40,720
Speaker 1: end up blocking anybody, and Josh didn't help him out

1893
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 1: either by not maybe setting the block up and putting

1894
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 1: his foot in the ground and cutting up inside. But man,

1895
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:48,479
Speaker 1: oh man, that it was there to be had. And

1896
01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:50,320
Speaker 1: really all you're looking for is like a four yard

1897
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:52,639
Speaker 1: six yard game right there, right, just get some positive

1898
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:54,880
Speaker 1: yards and it turns more than that. It turns into

1899
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 1: a jawbreaker. But that's that's that's that's the execution issue though.

1900
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:03,800
Speaker 1: It really is. Chris, thank you, Chris Brown Bills. Inside

1901
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:06,360
Speaker 1: feel better now. I got a lot off my chest.

1902
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 1: So that was man. I was sitting beside Murph today

1903
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:11,800
Speaker 1: we're getting ready for the show, and I was at

1904
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:13,800
Speaker 1: the top of my lungs for about twenty minutes. Yeah.

1905
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 1: But and here's the thing. When you're sitting in the

1906
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:19,519
Speaker 1: press box, you can't you can't cheer, you can't do anything.

1907
01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:23,000
Speaker 1: You're just sitting on your hands. My hands were shaken

1908
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the game because I had so

1909
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 1: much pent up energy that I could not get out

1910
01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:30,960
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. I was like, am

1911
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:32,920
Speaker 1: I really shaken right now? What the heck is going

1912
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,840
Speaker 1: on here? But that's how intense the end of that

1913
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 1: game was. And then you know the way it played out, obviously,

1914
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's why a lot of Bills fans

1915
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:44,840
Speaker 1: were up in arms and sore, because you know, they've

1916
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:48,120
Speaker 1: seen this soap opera before and unfortunately it's the end

1917
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: of another season. Still up in arms, still sore. We're

1918
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:51,679
Speaker 1: gonna hear more of them in the third and final

1919
01:34:51,720 --> 01:34:53,439
Speaker 1: hour of the show. Eric would joined us as well.

1920
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:56,000
Speaker 1: Come on back for the third hour One Bill's Live,

Speaker 1: This is Hello Bills, Radiolo Bills Radio Network Sports Update.

1923
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,360

01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,560
Speaker 1: quarterback Davia Sweb, and several others. They've all agreed to

1928
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 1: signed with the Bills for the upcoming season. They are

1929
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:38,680
Speaker 1: reserved future signings. Bill's offensive coordinator Brian Dable is in

1930
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:41,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland today interviewing for the head coaching vacancy there. He

1931
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:43,800
Speaker 1: spent some time in Cleveland in the past. He's the

1932
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:46,439
Speaker 1: fifth candidate to interview there. Dabele has been an NFL

1933
01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for four different teams, started with the Browns,

1934
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 1: served one year stints with the Dolphins and Chiefs, and

1935
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:54,599
Speaker 1: now posts held the position with the Bills, who put

1936
01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:57,639
Speaker 1: up their first ten win season since nineteen ninety nine.

1937
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:00,679
Speaker 1: Brian Dable interviewing for the head coaching job in Cleveland

1938
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:03,559
Speaker 1: as we speak. The Cowboys inmpired Mike McCarthy as their

1939
01:36:03,680 --> 01:36:07,280
Speaker 1: ninth head coaching team history. McCarthy spent the weekend at

1940
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 1: the home of Cowboys owner general manager Jerry Jones. He

1941
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:13,240
Speaker 1: replaces Jason Garrett, who won eighty five games lost sixty

1942
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:16,840
Speaker 1: seven as Tables coach from two ten to two thousand

1943
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:19,679
Speaker 1: and nine. McCarthy spent last season going through a series

1944
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:22,479
Speaker 1: of a study of trends across the league while planning

1945
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:26,559
Speaker 1: for his next job. Patriots owner Bob Kraft says it's

1946
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:29,600
Speaker 1: his hope and his prayer that Tom Brady returns to

1947
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:33,280
Speaker 1: play for the Patriots. If he doesn't, he hopes he retires,

1948
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 1: Kraft told Peter King before the Patriots wildcard lost on Saturday.

1949
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:39,200
Speaker 1: Brady is forty two years old, scheduled to become a

1950
01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:41,479
Speaker 1: free agent for the first time in his career. On

1951
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:45,519
Speaker 1: March eighteen, teammates of Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz took issue

1952
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:48,919
Speaker 1: with a hit by defensive end Jadamian Clowney of the Seahawks.

1953
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:51,240
Speaker 1: The hit that knock Wentz out of Sunday's wildcard game.

1954
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 1: Left tackle Jason Peters confronted Clowney on the field after

1955
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 1: seeing a replay of the hit. Meantime, Jason Peters will

1956
01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 1: be a free agent in March. The veteran left tackle

1957
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 1: that says he has no plan is to retire. Former

1958
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:05,200
Speaker 1: Bill Peters turns thirty eight years old in sixteen days

1959
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,160
Speaker 1: to a Tagovaloa is leaving the Alabama to join the

1960
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 1: NFL Draft while still recovering from hip injury. And that's

1961
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 1: just the update from One Bill's Drive, John Murphy, Steve

1962
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:19,160
Speaker 1: Tasker joining you from the One Buffalo studio in Archard Park.

1963
01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:21,000
Speaker 1: We're going to join Eric Wood in just a moment.

1964
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:23,800
Speaker 1: It's really and I was kind of kidding, but not really, Steve.

1965
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:26,880
Speaker 1: All of us kind of feel that loss a lot more.

1966
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:28,599
Speaker 1: And I hear it from the phone calls too, from

1967
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:30,519
Speaker 1: the fans. That's that one's gonna stick for a while.

1968
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:34,040
Speaker 1: That loss good. I don't know what's good about it.

1969
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: What's good about a loss like that? It's better than

1970
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:39,720
Speaker 1: we got a good football team. We were very close

1971
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:41,720
Speaker 1: to winning a playoff game. I don't know that it

1972
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:43,559
Speaker 1: was good enough to win a super Bowl, but certainly

1973
01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:45,960
Speaker 1: if they would have been able to string games like

1974
01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:49,880
Speaker 1: that together, certainly they could have going forward. They got

1975
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:51,920
Speaker 1: ninety million dollars in cash phase, they got draft picks

1976
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:54,840
Speaker 1: of it, and they've got a already now different than

1977
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:57,320
Speaker 1: last year and different year two years ago. They've got

1978
01:37:57,360 --> 01:37:59,840
Speaker 1: a core of young players that they're gonna build a

1979
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:02,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna be here for a while. They have got

1980
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:06,400
Speaker 1: a really good football team intact moving forward, and now

1981
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:10,040
Speaker 1: they can just start stacking better pieces on the periphery

1982
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:12,640
Speaker 1: of this roster. They can start getting better at the

1983
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 1: bottom of the roster. In the middle of the roster,

1984
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 1: they can get bigger contributors, better contributors, more consistent contributors. Guys.

1985
01:38:19,160 --> 01:38:22,760
Speaker 1: They can just get better where they're already good, and

1986
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,880
Speaker 1: that puts them a step way and put some three

1987
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,719
Speaker 1: or four steps ahead of where they've been in years past,

1988
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:31,439
Speaker 1: including this last year. They've got a lot of work

1989
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:32,840
Speaker 1: to do, and we're gonna talk a lot about that

1990
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:34,760
Speaker 1: in the weeks and months ahead, but not today. Today

1991
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 1: we're focused on the overtime loss of the Texans in

1992
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,599
Speaker 1: the wildcard playoff game and our Twitter pole question, if

1993
01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:42,479
Speaker 1: you could change one play from Saturday's game, what would

1994
01:38:42,479 --> 01:38:44,599
Speaker 1: it be. We've got twenty two hundred votes in already

1995
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 1: on this this is Nero record. Forty one percent say

1996
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:50,680
Speaker 1: the call the officials called the blindside block call on

1997
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 1: Cody Ford would be the number one thing they would change.

1998
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:57,400
Speaker 1: Thirty five percent say the Texans converting that third and

1999
01:38:57,520 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 1: eighteen would be the next one they would change only

2000
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:03,719
Speaker 1: sixteen percent. Say the Watson escape from two Buffalo defenders

2001
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:06,479
Speaker 1: to hit Taiwan Jones Lenning leading to the game winning

2002
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 1: field goal would be the one they changed. Eight percent

2003
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:10,479
Speaker 1: say something else, let us know what you think. Eight

2004
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:13,280
Speaker 1: h three fifty toll free one eight eight eight five

2005
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:15,479
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. Let's look at some of the

2006
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:17,640
Speaker 1: tweets that have been sent in on this from the

2007
01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:20,280
Speaker 1: tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

2008
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo Bills. If you could change

2009
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:25,439
Speaker 1: one play from Saturday's game, what would it be? A

2010
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:27,760
Speaker 1: guy named Jello tweets this, and the play that changed

2011
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:31,040
Speaker 1: the game was Josh Allen's fumble. I know the announcers

2012
01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 1: said it was knocked out, but I've watched the play

2013
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,320
Speaker 1: about fifty times and no one hit the ball. Allen

2014
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:38,519
Speaker 1: just dropped it. Changed that and we win. What do

2015
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 1: you think of that? There's a lot of football after that. Yeah,

2016
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:45,120
Speaker 1: maybe certainly would have changed the direct I mean, they

2017
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:47,000
Speaker 1: got three points out of that, and then the Bills

2018
01:39:47,040 --> 01:39:50,040
Speaker 1: got a touch turnover as well and got three points

2019
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 1: out of that turnover. So that was a little bit

2020
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:53,680
Speaker 1: of a push. Yeah, so I don't think much of that.

2021
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:55,679
Speaker 1: Maybe the momentum would have changed, maybe some things would

2022
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:58,200
Speaker 1: have been different, but yeah, there's a lot of football

2023
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:01,960
Speaker 1: on the table after that play. Big Multi tweets this

2024
01:40:02,080 --> 01:40:04,519
Speaker 1: in the third and eighteen kept the drive going, which

2025
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 1: is a momentum swing for both teams. Houston was alive,

2026
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 1: we stopped that and the Ford penalty doesn't happen. The

2027
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 1: mentality and play not to lose versus play to win

2028
01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:15,160
Speaker 1: was a killer for us. We have to have him

2029
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:16,840
Speaker 1: and we need to get that killer instinct. Do you

2030
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:18,920
Speaker 1: believe that the Bills don't have a killer instinct? I don't.

2031
01:40:19,200 --> 01:40:21,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that's true. Here's the thing I think

2032
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:23,800
Speaker 1: you got they I think this coaching staff has a

2033
01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:25,600
Speaker 1: lot on its mind and a lot of things that

2034
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:27,920
Speaker 1: it knows that we think they know and I think

2035
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:31,120
Speaker 1: we realize, but they have to make decisions based on one.

2036
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:35,120
Speaker 1: They do have a killer instinct, particularly on defense. They've

2037
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:37,920
Speaker 1: got that killer instinct. I think they know offensively this

2038
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 1: is a team that's challenged. They know that when they've

2039
01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 1: got the ball, they don't have the ability to step

2040
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:47,639
Speaker 1: on somebody's neck and win they're Devin Singletary is good

2041
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:49,200
Speaker 1: on it, but they don't have a power run game

2042
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:50,920
Speaker 1: that's going to run a four minute offense and run

2043
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:52,760
Speaker 1: it out. They did it maybe once or twice this year,

2044
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:54,880
Speaker 1: maybe early on in the season against a team like

2045
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,760
Speaker 1: the Giants, But this is a team that struggles to

2046
01:40:57,840 --> 01:40:59,960
Speaker 1: stay on the field offensively. So if you want to

2047
01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:02,479
Speaker 1: talk about a killer instinct, this is a coaching staff

2048
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:04,760
Speaker 1: that knows they got to play the percentages and if

2049
01:41:04,760 --> 01:41:06,479
Speaker 1: they get a chance to win it on defense, they

2050
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:08,840
Speaker 1: have the guys to do it offensively. I still think

2051
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:10,720
Speaker 1: they're waiting to get there, all right, I can go

2052
01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:12,640
Speaker 1: with it. Joining us on the line right now. Guy

2053
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:14,600
Speaker 1: who watched the Bills all season long played for the

2054
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:17,719
Speaker 1: Bills up until two years ago. Eric Wood, former Bills center,

2055
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 1: now the color analysts on the Bills radio network. Eric

2056
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:22,880
Speaker 1: good to see. How are you doing today? I'm doing good.

2057
01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:25,360
Speaker 1: How you guys doing doing well? I'm good. If you

2058
01:41:25,439 --> 01:41:27,559
Speaker 1: could change one play and maybe well maybe you don't

2059
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:29,400
Speaker 1: want to change this play, but I know at halftime

2060
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:31,840
Speaker 1: the other day you were very upset about you said

2061
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 1: a lack of aggressive aggressiveness. I guess on the Bills

2062
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 1: approach down there near the goal line. They settled for

2063
01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:39,960
Speaker 1: a field goal in the first half. As you look

2064
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 1: back and reflect on that, what do you think you

2065
01:41:43,040 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 1: know it was? It was honestly just hard for me

2066
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:48,080
Speaker 1: to explain what their strategy was other than just settling

2067
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:51,439
Speaker 1: for three points. I understand you always run the risk

2068
01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:54,960
Speaker 1: of a sack moving backwards, making the field goal longer,

2069
01:41:55,880 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 1: a penalty that could have scooted you back. At the time,

2070
01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:00,040
Speaker 1: I was just kind of at a loss rewards and

2071
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly what they're thinking was there, but

2072
01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 1: I just wanted them to take a shot in the

2073
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 1: end zone, maybe probably even have time for two shots

2074
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:11,640
Speaker 1: at the end zone. You know, we're talking about the

2075
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:14,840
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. They came into the game ranked last in

2076
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:17,640
Speaker 1: the NFL and red zone defense. I thought that was

2077
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:20,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be more aggressive. But what I always

2078
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:23,479
Speaker 1: refer to back whenever we're making the calls, Murph, every

2079
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 1: time I question a call or question a decision. The

2080
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 1: Bills were ten and six, coming off a six and

2081
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:32,559
Speaker 1: ten record last year. I trust the decision makers they

2082
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:34,880
Speaker 1: have that get paid a whole lot more money than

2083
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:36,960
Speaker 1: I do, that get'll have a lot more experience, and

2084
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:40,840
Speaker 1: I understand that, so I always refer back to that,

2085
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:43,040
Speaker 1: but in that moment I would have liked to see

2086
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 1: them more aggressive there. I mean, shoot, there's there's a

2087
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:48,760
Speaker 1: lot of plays in that game that the Bills wish

2088
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:53,160
Speaker 1: they could have had back and decisions, calls, whatever it

2089
01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:56,560
Speaker 1: may be. But that's such a tight football game and

2090
01:42:56,680 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 1: it's decided by so many, so few inches that if

2091
01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 1: the Bills catch one more break, it's the Houston Texans

2092
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:09,680
Speaker 1: former almost Hall of Fame receiver washed up center and

2093
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:13,519
Speaker 1: play by play guy having this conversation instead. So it's

2094
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, it was such a close game that there's

2095
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 1: just you could second guess on both sides of it. Yeah,

2096
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you there, and I agree with

2097
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:25,479
Speaker 1: you that, Yeah, they could have worked it and maybe

2098
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:27,280
Speaker 1: taken two shots for the end zone instead of just

2099
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 1: the one that they settled for. And even the one,

2100
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:31,560
Speaker 1: they can make an argument, man, he should have had it.

2101
01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:34,880
Speaker 1: It was a nice thrill by Josh and the defender

2102
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:38,120
Speaker 1: knocked Duke's off arm off the catch in the corner

2103
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 1: of the end zone. But you know, they just got

2104
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 1: one chance to go for it. They took it, and

2105
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 1: then you know they were down. They you know, they

2106
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 1: actually took the time out and just handed it to

2107
01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:49,360
Speaker 1: Gore on the on the run up the middle, which

2108
01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 1: I think is the frustrating thing. And I think people

2109
01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:54,840
Speaker 1: kind of latch onto those up the middle runs as

2110
01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 1: conservative play calls. And I don't even know that that

2111
01:43:58,120 --> 01:43:59,760
Speaker 1: was called. It could have been a check off by

2112
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 1: Josh to a front or something that they wanted to

2113
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:04,280
Speaker 1: do in the red zone. I don't know, but those

2114
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:06,080
Speaker 1: are the ones that are frustrating when you think, man,

2115
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 1: it was a wasted opportunity when it was a one

2116
01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:10,840
Speaker 1: yard gain or a zero yard game at a time

2117
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:14,679
Speaker 1: where you're running out of opportunities in time for sure.

2118
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:17,840
Speaker 1: And on another radio spot I did this morning, someone

2119
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:20,920
Speaker 1: was critiquing how conservative the Bills were in this game,

2120
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:23,240
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, it's hard to critique them

2121
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:25,400
Speaker 1: for being conservative in this game when they were really

2122
01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:29,400
Speaker 1: conservative all season, which got them into the playoffs. They

2123
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 1: were one game away from winning the AFCAST for the

2124
01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 1: first time in countless years. So let's not get so

2125
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:37,360
Speaker 1: up in arms that the Bills were conservative in this

2126
01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:40,760
Speaker 1: football game. They were conservative the entire season. They knew

2127
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:43,920
Speaker 1: that they had a top one of the top defenses

2128
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They did not have one of the

2129
01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:48,280
Speaker 1: top offenses in the NFL. They do not have one

2130
01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:50,760
Speaker 1: of the top decision makers at quarterback. I think he

2131
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 1: can be. He's in the second year, though he's raw,

2132
01:44:53,680 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: He's an unbelievable talent. They made conservative calls this entire season,

2133
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:01,799
Speaker 1: So let's not all be absolutely up in arms about

2134
01:45:01,840 --> 01:45:05,599
Speaker 1: conservative play calling in the playoffs, because you know, they

2135
01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:09,519
Speaker 1: played tough on the road and we're so close to

2136
01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:12,200
Speaker 1: winning it. I just find it so hard to be

2137
01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:17,760
Speaker 1: hypercritical of the conservativism when they did it really all year. Eric,

2138
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:19,280
Speaker 1: what is our guest. He's on the line with a

2139
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:22,840
Speaker 1: sermon's home in the Louisville, Kentucky. Eric, let's get into

2140
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:25,360
Speaker 1: the couple of plays in overtime. And it's funny you

2141
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:27,160
Speaker 1: and I talk on all day Saturday. We never had

2142
01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:29,840
Speaker 1: a chance to really dissect these because things happen so

2143
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:32,240
Speaker 1: quickly during the course of a game. But now they're

2144
01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:34,559
Speaker 1: the focus two days later. And the first one would

2145
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:37,479
Speaker 1: be the blindside block penalty called on Cody Ford third

2146
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:39,120
Speaker 1: and nine. The Bills have the ball at the Houston

2147
01:45:39,200 --> 01:45:43,240
Speaker 1: forty two. Johsh Allen scrambles for four yards. What do

2148
01:45:43,320 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 1: you think of that call? It was kind of a

2149
01:45:45,120 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 1: fandom blindside block. I thought, yeah, you know to me,

2150
01:45:49,800 --> 01:45:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, I know that nowadays they're calling if you're

2151
01:45:53,080 --> 01:45:56,240
Speaker 1: going back towards your own end zone, you can't take

2152
01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:59,879
Speaker 1: a shot on a guy and you can't make contact

2153
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:01,720
Speaker 1: to the head or neck. He does and he hits

2154
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:05,120
Speaker 1: them in the shoulder and um, you know, um, the

2155
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:07,960
Speaker 1: defensive end actually turns his head at the last second

2156
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 1: where he hits them, you know, right in the front

2157
01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:13,439
Speaker 1: of him. Really, you know, sometimes those big blindside blocks

2158
01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 1: are right on the shoulder, right on the side. You

2159
01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:18,600
Speaker 1: see them. They're big time blocks on special teams. They

2160
01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:22,320
Speaker 1: happen a lot on crack plays, which is on offense

2161
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:24,599
Speaker 1: where they wanted to eliminate those Think back a couple

2162
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:28,960
Speaker 1: of years ago, Jarvis Landry on Aaron Williams um, those

2163
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:31,040
Speaker 1: those types of blocks are the ones that they want

2164
01:46:31,080 --> 01:46:34,800
Speaker 1: to outlaw. The scramble offensive linement versus defensive linement where

2165
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:38,360
Speaker 1: the defensive linement doesn't even hit the ground. That is very,

2166
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:41,240
Speaker 1: very tough for me to wrap my head around that

2167
01:46:41,880 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 1: they were they were going to blow that whistle there

2168
01:46:44,840 --> 01:46:49,400
Speaker 1: when when when really it didn't need to be thrown.

2169
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: It makes such an impact on the game. It takes

2170
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:54,600
Speaker 1: them out of a position where they can go for

2171
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:57,639
Speaker 1: it on fourth down, really make a play to try

2172
01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:00,320
Speaker 1: and win it there. And to me, I mean, that's

2173
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:02,080
Speaker 1: just how tight of a game this was, though, that

2174
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:06,040
Speaker 1: would call like that could affect it, and you know,

2175
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:09,479
Speaker 1: and I've read stuff where the Texans weren't called for

2176
01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:12,560
Speaker 1: any in between the whistle penalties throughout the game, and

2177
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 1: that's just the way it goes. And when there's not

2178
01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:18,280
Speaker 1: a series of games in the playoffs, it's not hockey,

2179
01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:21,280
Speaker 1: it's not baseball, it's not basketball. When it's one and done,

2180
01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:24,320
Speaker 1: you just have to be so tight on your technique

2181
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:26,719
Speaker 1: and really you can't put it in the referees hands,

2182
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:28,840
Speaker 1: like like it came down to there. Let me ask

2183
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:31,439
Speaker 1: you about another play third and eighteen, and the Texans

2184
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:34,559
Speaker 1: picked it up on their game winning drive third and eighteen,

2185
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:38,639
Speaker 1: they threw a pass to Duke Johnson for eighteen yards.

2186
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:41,080
Speaker 1: The clock expired before that, which I don't think we

2187
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:44,479
Speaker 1: kind of noticed it. It was close anyway, But beyond

2188
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:46,479
Speaker 1: the clock issues, what do you think of a third

2189
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:48,240
Speaker 1: and eighteen play that they were able to pick up

2190
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 1: and keep their drive going. It's a great play by

2191
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:54,800
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. He's made tons of plays out of the

2192
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:59,120
Speaker 1: backfield catching the ball this season. Knowing that, and maybe

2193
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 1: you dedicated more towards the middle of the field. Maybe

2194
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 1: not everybody's playing kind of sticks coverage where everybody was

2195
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:09,160
Speaker 1: kind of back maybe sixteen to eighteen yards, knowing that

2196
01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:11,000
Speaker 1: as long as they kept everyone in front of them,

2197
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:13,200
Speaker 1: they were fine. No balls over the top. Well, then

2198
01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:15,720
Speaker 1: you got to rally and make the play. And as

2199
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 1: we watched the replay, right there siron Neil and Tremade

2200
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:22,280
Speaker 1: Evans couldn't stop them before the sticks, and man, there's

2201
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 1: just so many learning experiences in a game like that

2202
01:48:25,200 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 1: for a young team. You wish you learned them on

2203
01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:29,240
Speaker 1: a win and you were so close to winning, But

2204
01:48:29,360 --> 01:48:31,760
Speaker 1: there's so many learning experience that will come out of

2205
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:35,560
Speaker 1: this Texans game. And I've talked with Brandon Bean and

2206
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and these guys, and they understand. You know,

2207
01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:43,160
Speaker 1: it hurts right now, and they I mean the amount

2208
01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:45,920
Speaker 1: of time and effort that the staff and the players

2209
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,760
Speaker 1: put in. It's gonna hurt like crazy right now, but

2210
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:51,080
Speaker 1: they will grow from this. They will come out better

2211
01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:54,720
Speaker 1: from this. You just you just hate to learn your

2212
01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:57,720
Speaker 1: lessons in this type of fashion. And one more play,

2213
01:48:57,760 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 1: and it really, I think is the big play, the

2214
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:02,439
Speaker 1: second and explay at the forty four when Shaun Watson

2215
01:49:02,560 --> 01:49:05,320
Speaker 1: was dead he was gonna be saying and magically he

2216
01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:07,920
Speaker 1: spun away from it, hit Thaiwan jonestown field from thirty

2217
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:09,400
Speaker 1: four yards and he kicked the field goal and won

2218
01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:10,439
Speaker 1: it in the next play. What do you make of

2219
01:49:10,479 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 1: that play looking back? I mean, just an absolute backbreaker.

2220
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 1: And it's hard to script free rushers in the NFL,

2221
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:21,760
Speaker 1: and take get two of them coming off the edge.

2222
01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 1: Matt Milano and Seron Neil both come free. He gets

2223
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:30,839
Speaker 1: out of that one and then with with Jordan Phillips

2224
01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:33,280
Speaker 1: just bearing down on him, makes it makes a throw

2225
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:35,760
Speaker 1: to Taiwan Jones and it's a It's a phenomenal play

2226
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:39,200
Speaker 1: by a guy who's made a phenomenal plays throughout college

2227
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:43,439
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It is the absolute worst luck ever

2228
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:46,719
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. If they pick up Seron Neil

2229
01:49:47,160 --> 01:49:50,880
Speaker 1: or if sixty three Roderick I can't remember his name,

2230
01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 1: I remembered his first name. If he if he makes

2231
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:56,960
Speaker 1: a block on Milano. If either of those guys don't

2232
01:49:57,000 --> 01:50:00,320
Speaker 1: come free, it's a sack because the other one would

2233
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:02,880
Speaker 1: tackle him and they wouldn't bounce off the other one.

2234
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 1: And it's just an unbelievably lucky break for the Houston

2235
01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:09,639
Speaker 1: Texans and Deshaun Watson. And he got up flexing his muscles,

2236
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:14,400
Speaker 1: and at the time I was like, I don't think

2237
01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:16,920
Speaker 1: he understands how lucky he was. You know, I think

2238
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:19,160
Speaker 1: he thinks his own strength held him up. But it

2239
01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:22,040
Speaker 1: was the pure luck of getting hit from both sides

2240
01:50:22,040 --> 01:50:24,639
Speaker 1: of the exact same time. It was the perfect defensive

2241
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:27,680
Speaker 1: call that allowed you to stand the pocket, not your

2242
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:30,320
Speaker 1: own strength because Matt Malana or sarn Neil, if it's

2243
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:31,560
Speaker 1: just one of the two of them, they take his

2244
01:50:31,640 --> 01:50:34,040
Speaker 1: at off. Yeah, we were talking just before the last

2245
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:36,200
Speaker 1: break about, you know, the killer instinct. This team had

2246
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:38,760
Speaker 1: a sixteen point lead in the latter parts of the

2247
01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 1: third quarter and they couldn't hang on to it, and well,

2248
01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:44,679
Speaker 1: they lack a killer instinct. And my assertion was this, certainly,

2249
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:46,600
Speaker 1: and even the play we just spoke about with this,

2250
01:50:47,120 --> 01:50:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, the zero blitz kid and two guys free,

2251
01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 1: I think defensively, the Bills do have a killer instinct.

2252
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:54,880
Speaker 1: They know how to finish a team off. You can

2253
01:50:54,920 --> 01:50:57,040
Speaker 1: make it what you want about the great Deshaun Watson play,

2254
01:50:57,080 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 1: and it was a great play by him, but they

2255
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:01,120
Speaker 1: schemed it up and they were going for they were

2256
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:03,560
Speaker 1: zero blitz bringing it on a second and six and

2257
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:06,799
Speaker 1: they got them. That's a killer instinct for a defense

2258
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:11,759
Speaker 1: in that game. And I think conversely, this coaching staff

2259
01:51:11,840 --> 01:51:14,719
Speaker 1: knows they can't afford to have a killer instinct offensively

2260
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:17,000
Speaker 1: unless they can hand it off and make first downs.

2261
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 1: They're not going to be one of those teams that

2262
01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, stacks on two or three scores late in

2263
01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:24,880
Speaker 1: the game, you know, to put it out of reach.

2264
01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:27,559
Speaker 1: That's not the killer instinct this team's equipped for right

2265
01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:29,680
Speaker 1: now with their quarterback, their running game, and the way

2266
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:32,240
Speaker 1: things are set up. So I think, on one hand,

2267
01:51:32,280 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 1: if it's the defensive side to get a killer instinct,

2268
01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:36,160
Speaker 1: they've got it. But they have and you see that

2269
01:51:36,280 --> 01:51:39,320
Speaker 1: in the conservative and the not conservative coaching styles on

2270
01:51:39,400 --> 01:51:43,440
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Yeah, I think when your

2271
01:51:43,520 --> 01:51:47,720
Speaker 1: best point was, Steve, was that they don't necessarily have

2272
01:51:47,840 --> 01:51:49,920
Speaker 1: the run game of the quarterback to do it right now,

2273
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:52,680
Speaker 1: and I think they'll get there in year three under

2274
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:55,040
Speaker 1: the same scheme. If we're able to keep Brian day

2275
01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:58,000
Speaker 1: Ball and keep everybody together, maybe you add a piece

2276
01:51:58,080 --> 01:52:00,880
Speaker 1: on the outside. Maybe you add another receiver or some

2277
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:03,880
Speaker 1: type of playmaker, another playmaker on offense. You get this

2278
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:07,280
Speaker 1: offensive line jelling for another season, whatever it may be.

2279
01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:09,439
Speaker 1: You know you have a rookie tight end out there

2280
01:52:09,479 --> 01:52:11,200
Speaker 1: playing a ton of snaps for you. Whatever it may be,

2281
01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:14,280
Speaker 1: you get better on offense and you have a better

2282
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:17,519
Speaker 1: killer instinct because you feel more confident calling aggressive place

2283
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:19,479
Speaker 1: throughout a game that you're not going to get a turnover,

2284
01:52:19,520 --> 01:52:21,040
Speaker 1: that you're not going to get a bad mistake at

2285
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:24,559
Speaker 1: TfL a penalty. Also, we can talk all we want

2286
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 1: about the Bills offense not having killer instinct. I don't

2287
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,200
Speaker 1: know that the plays necessarily change. And there's probably people

2288
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:34,600
Speaker 1: out there that have analyzed the exact play calls for

2289
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:38,200
Speaker 1: four quarters better than I have. I've watched the coach's copy,

2290
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:41,880
Speaker 1: but I didn't chart the plays per se. Brian day

2291
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:45,479
Speaker 1: Ball scripted a phenomenal first series of the game. There's

2292
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:48,000
Speaker 1: no question about it. Were their first red zone trip.

2293
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 1: They were going to get to the Philly Special of

2294
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:52,240
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Special, whatever you want to call it. They

2295
01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:53,680
Speaker 1: were going to get to that and that that was

2296
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:58,760
Speaker 1: a great call. Houston's a fast, blowing, aggressive defense. I mean,

2297
01:52:58,840 --> 01:53:00,800
Speaker 1: who's going to account for the quarterback is at the

2298
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:03,400
Speaker 1: backside defensive end. If you're in man coverage, like there's

2299
01:53:03,439 --> 01:53:05,479
Speaker 1: no one to account for him, that's a great call there.

2300
01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:08,760
Speaker 1: As the game goes on, the defense is going to

2301
01:53:08,800 --> 01:53:13,840
Speaker 1: adjust to your game plan. And to me, the offense

2302
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:16,000
Speaker 1: isn't equipped to score forty points. So we can sit

2303
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:17,840
Speaker 1: here and talk about that they put their took their

2304
01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:19,719
Speaker 1: foot off the pedal, but when have they ever scored

2305
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:22,479
Speaker 1: forty points? This year? What? You know, it didn't matter

2306
01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:27,000
Speaker 1: if Texans got more aggressive or if we got more conservative,

2307
01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:33,200
Speaker 1: we were going to score somewhere between you know, nineteen. Yeah,

2308
01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:37,160
Speaker 1: there's season averages nineteen points. That's what they scored exactly.

2309
01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:41,479
Speaker 1: We're going to score nineteen points, give or take probably seven.

2310
01:53:42,200 --> 01:53:44,800
Speaker 1: So let's not talk about how we should have beat

2311
01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:48,400
Speaker 1: them thirty to nothing or thirty six, thirty five to nothing.

2312
01:53:48,520 --> 01:53:51,000
Speaker 1: We we we've only scored thirty five points one time

2313
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 1: this year. Right, that's your point about this is who

2314
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:56,120
Speaker 1: what are you saying, this is who we are. That's

2315
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 1: their identity, that's that's what the that's their wheelhouse. You know,

2316
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna score nineteen points, they're gonna win it on defense,

2317
01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:04,000
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be in a lot of in these

2318
01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:09,360
Speaker 1: games every let's face it, the Philadelphia game, notwithstanding, every

2319
01:54:09,479 --> 01:54:12,519
Speaker 1: game this season has been one or two plays, and

2320
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:15,960
Speaker 1: they're learning so fast and they're good enough physically and

2321
01:54:16,120 --> 01:54:20,000
Speaker 1: mentally to win ten, lose six and be in the

2322
01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 1: exact same kind of game in wildcard weekend. And you

2323
01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:24,640
Speaker 1: can go down the list of the plays and we

2324
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:27,120
Speaker 1: had Brownie and we were laughing. It's like twenty plays

2325
01:54:27,560 --> 01:54:29,760
Speaker 1: on this game that you think the ripple effect would

2326
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:33,000
Speaker 1: have caused the outcome to be different. That's that's the

2327
01:54:33,040 --> 01:54:37,040
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen Buffalo Bills, and and that's why they they're

2328
01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:39,120
Speaker 1: so fun to watch, why it was such a great season,

2329
01:54:39,160 --> 01:54:40,720
Speaker 1: why it was so fun to get into the playoffs

2330
01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:44,400
Speaker 1: and good. But that's also why it's over right And

2331
01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:49,040
Speaker 1: to your point, you know, you grow on offense this offseason,

2332
01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:51,600
Speaker 1: you add pieces, you try and get up into that

2333
01:54:51,760 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 1: top ten or twelve scoring in the NFL. And that's

2334
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:57,800
Speaker 1: not an astronomical jump to get to the top ten.

2335
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:00,240
Speaker 1: What's the top ten offense in the league? Score maybe

2336
01:55:00,280 --> 01:55:03,680
Speaker 1: twenty five points a game, so you're adding and it

2337
01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:05,400
Speaker 1: might not even be that. It might be twenty four

2338
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:08,080
Speaker 1: points a game, so you're not even adding a full

2339
01:55:08,160 --> 01:55:10,560
Speaker 1: touchdown a game difference. And now you're in the top

2340
01:55:10,640 --> 01:55:13,400
Speaker 1: ten in scoring. Well, now next year if you can

2341
01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:16,320
Speaker 1: retain and maybe you're not number two in scoring in

2342
01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:19,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. Next year on defense, maybe you're top five.

2343
01:55:19,200 --> 01:55:20,720
Speaker 1: Let's say you're top five and you have a top

2344
01:55:21,040 --> 01:55:23,560
Speaker 1: and you have the number ten scoring offense. Now you're

2345
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:26,320
Speaker 1: blowing teams out. Not now, not every game is a

2346
01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:29,200
Speaker 1: one score game. But you know, even if we were

2347
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:32,400
Speaker 1: going to Kansas City this weekend, I would bet a

2348
01:55:32,480 --> 01:55:37,280
Speaker 1: whole lot of pizzas or coffees like I bet Chris

2349
01:55:37,400 --> 01:55:40,480
Speaker 1: Brown and Sal I'd bet a whole bunch of Starbucks

2350
01:55:40,600 --> 01:55:44,200
Speaker 1: runs that if we went to Kansas City, the game

2351
01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:47,000
Speaker 1: would be on. I don't think Kansas City would light

2352
01:55:47,080 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 1: us up and score any more than twenty four And

2353
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:51,320
Speaker 1: I bet we wouldn't score more than twenty four or so.

2354
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:54,320
Speaker 1: It would be the same type of game again and

2355
01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:58,120
Speaker 1: again again. But to Steve's point. The Buffalo Bills are scrappy,

2356
01:55:58,200 --> 01:55:59,920
Speaker 1: They're tough, there's not a whole lot of holes in

2357
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:03,200
Speaker 1: the roster, and they are the most resilient football team

2358
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:06,520
Speaker 1: I've ever been around. I mean, even watching them come

2359
01:56:06,600 --> 01:56:10,920
Speaker 1: back in force overtime is just pure heart determination to

2360
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:13,920
Speaker 1: get that fourth and inches stop and then drive all

2361
01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:16,520
Speaker 1: the way down the field. And I mean talk about

2362
01:56:16,520 --> 01:56:18,640
Speaker 1: guys that will do anything, and you hate it and

2363
01:56:18,800 --> 01:56:21,600
Speaker 1: you hate the joke about it. But Josh Allen, I mean,

2364
01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:24,400
Speaker 1: if if Dawson Nosk stays in pitch position, which I

2365
01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:26,480
Speaker 1: don't think Dawson Knox knew was going to turn into

2366
01:56:26,520 --> 01:56:29,080
Speaker 1: an option play, I mean, shoot, he might go down

2367
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:31,440
Speaker 1: the field and stiff arm someone like he did earlier

2368
01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 1: than the season against I believe Cincinnati might score. Who knows.

2369
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just a fun, resilient, scrappy team. I'll

2370
01:56:39,000 --> 01:56:40,640
Speaker 1: tell you. The Bills are twenty third and scoring. They

2371
01:56:40,680 --> 01:56:43,880
Speaker 1: scored nineteen point six points a game. To get in

2372
01:56:43,960 --> 01:56:46,080
Speaker 1: the top ten, you got to score twenty five point one,

2373
01:56:46,160 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 1: and that's where the Titans are. And of course the

2374
01:56:48,560 --> 01:56:51,240
Speaker 1: Ravens are number one. They're thirty three, you know, so

2375
01:56:52,480 --> 01:56:55,280
Speaker 1: not even a full touchdown more we're talking two field games. Yeah,

2376
01:56:55,560 --> 01:56:57,720
Speaker 1: you're right, and that's that's what you're talking about. You're

2377
01:56:57,720 --> 01:56:59,800
Speaker 1: talking about an extra touchdown. Forget the extra point, just

2378
01:56:59,840 --> 01:57:02,640
Speaker 1: the touchdown. And you're in the top ten. And we

2379
01:57:02,760 --> 01:57:06,040
Speaker 1: knew that. We knew it. You could see it the

2380
01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:08,800
Speaker 1: whole season. You know, we were just begging for that

2381
01:57:08,960 --> 01:57:10,960
Speaker 1: one extra score. And you know the game we got

2382
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:12,680
Speaker 1: it was the Miami game. We got an on side

2383
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:14,920
Speaker 1: kick and scored it in for a touchdown. You know,

2384
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:17,320
Speaker 1: that's what it was going to take to say. And

2385
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:20,720
Speaker 1: this is a season where the Bill's defense didn't score

2386
01:57:20,760 --> 01:57:23,080
Speaker 1: at all. Now they were phenomenal, but they didn't score

2387
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:25,880
Speaker 1: at all. You know, the Ravens defense has scored a

2388
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:28,520
Speaker 1: number of touchdowns and Patriots have scored a number of touchdowns.

2389
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:31,800
Speaker 1: The special team scores one touchdown and on side kick return.

2390
01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:35,000
Speaker 1: You know. So it was and when we were talking

2391
01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:37,640
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, all of their touchdown drives were

2392
01:57:37,680 --> 01:57:42,280
Speaker 1: over seventy five yards. So so it's a combination effort.

2393
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to just say we need more pieces

2394
01:57:45,600 --> 01:57:47,600
Speaker 1: or we need to do something different. I think you

2395
01:57:47,720 --> 01:57:51,240
Speaker 1: grow as an offseason, you know, with getting more maturity

2396
01:57:51,280 --> 01:57:55,760
Speaker 1: on offense, especially at the quarterback position. I mean, when

2397
01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 1: you look at it, if Josh so, a lot of

2398
01:57:59,080 --> 01:58:02,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have a more slump. We saw with Baker Mayfield

2399
01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:05,000
Speaker 1: this year. Sam Darnold didn't have a good year this year.

2400
01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:08,440
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson had a phenomenal year. He's league MVP. But

2401
01:58:08,560 --> 01:58:10,600
Speaker 1: if Josh you know, Josh Allen did not have a

2402
01:58:10,640 --> 01:58:14,440
Speaker 1: sophomore slump, he improves this year. If he takes another

2403
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 1: jump next year, I mean, look out AFC, because the

2404
01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:22,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills are gonna be really tough with with another

2405
01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:24,960
Speaker 1: year of progression from Josh Allen, which I think you'll

2406
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:28,880
Speaker 1: give because he's such a dedicated football guy who is

2407
01:58:29,360 --> 01:58:32,800
Speaker 1: all about ball and his competitiveness and everything about him.

2408
01:58:33,880 --> 01:58:37,120
Speaker 1: And it's so funny to me everyone else when I

2409
01:58:37,280 --> 01:58:39,920
Speaker 1: read Twitter and I'm reading stuff before I come on

2410
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:42,480
Speaker 1: the show, and I'm reading responses to one Bill's live

2411
01:58:42,560 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 1: stuff and half of it I'm tagged in, which is

2412
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:48,120
Speaker 1: interesting because I have to decipher some of the insults.

2413
01:58:48,560 --> 01:58:51,040
Speaker 1: Who who they're going after is at met Steve John

2414
01:58:51,240 --> 01:58:56,160
Speaker 1: just the show? But ever, Yeah, but everyone's saying we

2415
01:58:56,320 --> 01:58:58,440
Speaker 1: need to get rid of day Ball. I'm like, we

2416
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:00,360
Speaker 1: need to hope to keep this man. And there's a

2417
01:59:00,440 --> 01:59:04,720
Speaker 1: reason he's getting head coaching opportunities, and it's not because

2418
01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:08,040
Speaker 1: people are saying, Hey, the Bill's offense thinks this guy

2419
01:59:08,080 --> 01:59:10,280
Speaker 1: can't do a game plan. He's a great game planner,

2420
01:59:10,360 --> 01:59:13,800
Speaker 1: he maximizes talent, He's used weapons all over the field.

2421
01:59:13,840 --> 01:59:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean they shifted from a mix up personnel to

2422
01:59:16,960 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 1: an eleven personnel hurry up offense, then they mix it

2423
01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:21,640
Speaker 1: up again towards the end of the year depending on

2424
01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:23,880
Speaker 1: who they're playing. I mean, I thought, I thought he

2425
01:59:23,960 --> 01:59:27,640
Speaker 1: did a great job this year, and I hope we

2426
01:59:27,720 --> 01:59:30,080
Speaker 1: can keep him. I do too. I'm totally with you.

2427
01:59:30,160 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 1: I think the continuity has been a big part of

2428
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:35,400
Speaker 1: why Josh's advance and I think it will continue. And

2429
01:59:35,480 --> 01:59:37,960
Speaker 1: I think it will also helped the eleven new guys

2430
01:59:38,040 --> 01:59:39,880
Speaker 1: that started the season this year that were, you know,

2431
01:59:40,080 --> 01:59:42,200
Speaker 1: playing on the team for the first time, to go

2432
01:59:42,320 --> 01:59:45,320
Speaker 1: into another year at that same offense. Um, yeah, I

2433
01:59:45,480 --> 01:59:49,640
Speaker 1: hope he doesn't go anywhere. I don't know. And looking

2434
01:59:49,680 --> 01:59:52,400
Speaker 1: at looking at free agents, you're looking at who Frank Gore,

2435
01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:55,800
Speaker 1: Quentin Spain, guys who played meaningful minutes on offense. I

2436
01:59:55,880 --> 01:59:59,760
Speaker 1: mean are those You're only two free agents. Oh, they're

2437
01:59:59,760 --> 02:00:01,840
Speaker 1: an number of them. I mean they're guys on defense,

2438
02:00:01,920 --> 02:00:05,120
Speaker 1: but I'm talking on offense. Adrian Wadley he didn't play.

2439
02:00:05,160 --> 02:00:08,320
Speaker 1: He got hurt obviously. Yeah, so I'm talking like guys

2440
02:00:08,480 --> 02:00:11,040
Speaker 1: that play significant mends for the Bills. You're talking about

2441
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:13,680
Speaker 1: only two this year. We're talking about nine new starters.

2442
02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Next year we could talk about nine returning starters. Yeah,

2443
02:00:16,440 --> 02:00:20,040
Speaker 1: possibly more. Yep, you know so that's Um, that's gonna

2444
02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:23,560
Speaker 1: be a whole new ball game when you are adding

2445
02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:27,080
Speaker 1: on pieces as opposed to revamping the whole thing offensively.

2446
02:00:27,600 --> 02:00:30,720
Speaker 1: Eric Graces, probably we should maybe save that for a February.

2447
02:00:30,960 --> 02:00:32,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, we gotta we got some months

2448
02:00:32,800 --> 02:00:34,600
Speaker 1: to cover now, we got some many territory to cover.

2449
02:00:34,840 --> 02:00:36,320
Speaker 1: But it's great to talk to you today. It's been

Speaker 1: by Kalida Health from the Senecas Studios in Orchard Park.

2473
02:01:41,600 --> 02:01:56,600
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back One Bill's Live.

2474
02:01:56,680 --> 02:01:59,960
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker, A couple of things talk about today, Steve,

2475
02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:02,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys hiring Mike McCarthy as their head coach. I

2476
02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:05,680
Speaker 1: guess it's now it's fairly well reported out there. What

2477
02:02:05,760 --> 02:02:07,240
Speaker 1: do you think of that? I think it's a good move,

2478
02:02:08,080 --> 02:02:11,240
Speaker 1: and here's why. Mike McCarthy obviously a very experienced head coach,

2479
02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:14,520
Speaker 1: and I think it's really intriguing that the Dallas Cowboys

2480
02:02:14,560 --> 02:02:16,840
Speaker 1: went down that road. Not I think they want somebody

2481
02:02:16,880 --> 02:02:21,000
Speaker 1: with some experience. I think the Cowboys perceived themselves as

2482
02:02:21,040 --> 02:02:23,960
Speaker 1: a franchise that you either have to have experience in

2483
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:28,680
Speaker 1: the organization or experience in at that level, just because

2484
02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:30,440
Speaker 1: they think that's who they are. And I don't have

2485
02:02:30,480 --> 02:02:32,360
Speaker 1: a problem with that. Mike McCarthy's a really good head

2486
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:36,680
Speaker 1: coach and he's experienced. I think also too, there's a

2487
02:02:36,720 --> 02:02:38,360
Speaker 1: couple of things I've heard about some of the things

2488
02:02:38,440 --> 02:02:41,400
Speaker 1: he did in his time away from football than this

2489
02:02:41,480 --> 02:02:44,600
Speaker 1: past season where he wasn't coaching anywhere. He had hired

2490
02:02:44,640 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 1: a whole staff of people of analytics, people dissected his

2491
02:02:48,240 --> 02:02:51,000
Speaker 1: own coaching career, where the league was at, how it

2492
02:02:51,080 --> 02:02:53,920
Speaker 1: was going to get better. He just delved way into

2493
02:02:54,040 --> 02:02:56,120
Speaker 1: the analytics of being a head coach in the NFL,

2494
02:02:56,280 --> 02:02:58,200
Speaker 1: where it was at, how it was supposed to be done.

2495
02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Who was you know, how he could get better himself?

2496
02:03:00,840 --> 02:03:03,560
Speaker 1: And I think he really did some soul searching on

2497
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:05,920
Speaker 1: how to he could get better as a head coach.

2498
02:03:06,400 --> 02:03:08,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a great selling point for a guy

2499
02:03:08,320 --> 02:03:11,520
Speaker 1: with all of his experience to still have that appetite

2500
02:03:11,880 --> 02:03:14,200
Speaker 1: for getting better, because there was a little bit of

2501
02:03:14,800 --> 02:03:16,720
Speaker 1: this when he got released from Green Bay that he

2502
02:03:16,760 --> 02:03:18,280
Speaker 1: had kind of taken his foot off the gas a

2503
02:03:18,320 --> 02:03:20,080
Speaker 1: little bit. He was kind of relaxed, and he wasn't

2504
02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:22,680
Speaker 1: wasn't taken to wasn't grinding it like he did. I

2505
02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:24,880
Speaker 1: think this is a big selling point for him, and

2506
02:03:24,960 --> 02:03:27,480
Speaker 1: I think it goes well with the Cowboys, and I

2507
02:03:27,600 --> 02:03:33,880
Speaker 1: think too he'll be I think most coaches would have

2508
02:03:33,960 --> 02:03:36,920
Speaker 1: a problem having an owner as involved as Jerry Jones

2509
02:03:37,120 --> 02:03:40,200
Speaker 1: is right, you don't think you would. I think it

2510
02:03:40,320 --> 02:03:43,200
Speaker 1: might be a refreshing change for him since he was

2511
02:03:43,240 --> 02:03:45,240
Speaker 1: in Green Bay and he had like a committee of

2512
02:03:45,280 --> 02:03:47,920
Speaker 1: like nineteen guys he had to answer to. It's like

2513
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:50,480
Speaker 1: a you know, he had sixty thousand stockholders. He's talking

2514
02:03:51,640 --> 02:03:54,000
Speaker 1: the way Jerry Jones could. Right, No, but you can

2515
02:03:54,080 --> 02:03:57,600
Speaker 1: have a conversation with one guy and not have to say, well,

2516
02:03:57,640 --> 02:03:59,440
Speaker 1: if I talk this guy into it, I know him

2517
02:03:59,480 --> 02:04:02,120
Speaker 1: and meet together, that could talk this other guy into it. Yeah, right,

2518
02:04:02,240 --> 02:04:04,280
Speaker 1: might if one owner with nineteen different and I'll tell

2519
02:04:04,280 --> 02:04:06,480
Speaker 1: you what. Yeah, but you know what Jerry Jones did

2520
02:04:06,680 --> 02:04:08,440
Speaker 1: and people make fun of him and they say he's

2521
02:04:08,440 --> 02:04:10,879
Speaker 1: too invested. Let me tell you something. The guy knows football.

2522
02:04:10,880 --> 02:04:13,360
Speaker 1: He put together a really good roster and if you

2523
02:04:13,480 --> 02:04:16,760
Speaker 1: can and I think this too about him, he's for

2524
02:04:16,880 --> 02:04:18,920
Speaker 1: whatever you think about him. I think the guy's pretty sharp.

2525
02:04:19,840 --> 02:04:22,120
Speaker 1: And if you can sell him on an idea, which

2526
02:04:22,160 --> 02:04:24,080
Speaker 1: he probably has had to do over the last forty

2527
02:04:24,120 --> 02:04:27,360
Speaker 1: eight hours going through this interview process, I think he'll buy.

2528
02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:29,520
Speaker 1: And Jerry will be Okay, if you want to do

2529
02:04:29,600 --> 02:04:31,760
Speaker 1: it that way, let's do it why And he'll say why.

2530
02:04:32,160 --> 02:04:35,520
Speaker 1: I think that's a conversation I think Mike McCarthy would

2531
02:04:35,560 --> 02:04:38,560
Speaker 1: be way into having after spending all that time in

2532
02:04:38,640 --> 02:04:40,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I think that's I think it's a great

2533
02:04:40,480 --> 02:04:43,960
Speaker 1: hire by by Dallas. I really do. Um I don't.

2534
02:04:44,040 --> 02:04:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think I think any coach, most

2535
02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:49,040
Speaker 1: coaches anyway, would have a hard time dealing with that owner.

2536
02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:52,240
Speaker 1: Who's also the GM who also doesn't like to be

2537
02:04:52,280 --> 02:04:54,720
Speaker 1: second media too. Yeah, that's a lot of there's a

2538
02:04:54,720 --> 02:04:56,520
Speaker 1: lot of stuff there, no question about it. Yeah, but

2539
02:04:56,640 --> 02:04:59,160
Speaker 1: you gotta know that going in. And I'll tell you

2540
02:04:59,240 --> 02:05:03,200
Speaker 1: this too. You have conversations about it before you take

2541
02:05:03,240 --> 02:05:05,680
Speaker 1: the job, and you say here's what I think, here's

2542
02:05:05,840 --> 02:05:08,200
Speaker 1: and if and if you don't think he needs to change,

2543
02:05:08,240 --> 02:05:10,200
Speaker 1: then then you've got to win knowing that if you

2544
02:05:10,280 --> 02:05:12,360
Speaker 1: say you'd like to do it this way and he

2545
02:05:12,440 --> 02:05:14,480
Speaker 1: says okay, well then you stick with that. And if

2546
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:16,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't do it that way, then you got an out.

2547
02:05:16,120 --> 02:05:18,200
Speaker 1: But right by the same token, you've got to iron

2548
02:05:18,280 --> 02:05:20,240
Speaker 1: that stuff out before you say okay. But I think

2549
02:05:20,280 --> 02:05:22,160
Speaker 1: on the surface, this is a really good hire. Here's

2550
02:05:22,160 --> 02:05:25,680
Speaker 1: another coaching news today. Wade Phillips. Former Bill's head coach

2551

Speaker 1: Wade Phillips tweets out twenty five minutes ago. I've been

2552

Speaker 1: informed by the Rams my contract will not be renewed.

2553
02:05:31,400 --> 02:05:33,440
Speaker 1: I want to thank them for the opportunity to be

2554
02:05:33,560 --> 02:05:36,000
Speaker 1: part of their success the last three years. Most of all,

2555
02:05:36,040 --> 02:05:37,840
Speaker 1: I want to thank the players who I loved working with.

2556
02:05:38,200 --> 02:05:40,440
Speaker 1: I still want to coach and feel I can contribute.

2557
02:05:40,480 --> 02:05:42,640
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips is seventy two years old. Good for him.

2558
02:05:42,680 --> 02:05:45,000
Speaker 1: He'll get a job. He'll get a job coaching, being

2559
02:05:45,040 --> 02:05:47,240
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator. Somewhere he's a good one. Might be

2560
02:05:47,320 --> 02:05:52,080
Speaker 1: in Cleveland defensive coordinator. Yeah, not head coach. Why Cleveland,

2561
02:05:53,120 --> 02:05:56,040
Speaker 1: new staff. There's you know there might where else. You know,

2562
02:05:56,080 --> 02:05:58,400
Speaker 1: there's a couple other places, No question, Carolina, there's no

2563
02:05:58,480 --> 02:06:01,040
Speaker 1: good a job, no question about that. Yesterday was locker

2564
02:06:01,160 --> 02:06:02,960
Speaker 1: clean out day for the Bills, and we had a

2565
02:06:03,040 --> 02:06:05,080
Speaker 1: chance to get a camera and a microphone in there.

2566
02:06:05,240 --> 02:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Let's hear what the players had to say. Let's go

2567
02:06:06,760 --> 02:06:08,800
Speaker 1: around the locker room. Brought to you by Connected Like

2568
02:06:08,960 --> 02:06:14,560
Speaker 1: Blood and Organ Donor Network. Quarterback Josh Allen, I'm using

2569
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:18,440
Speaker 1: the Texans loss as motivation for next season. We've got

2570
02:06:18,440 --> 02:06:20,080
Speaker 1: a good basis on where we're at right now and

2571
02:06:20,120 --> 02:06:23,720
Speaker 1: a lot of guys coming back next year. So we're

2572
02:06:23,720 --> 02:06:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna have this feeling in our in our stomachs for

2573
02:06:25,960 --> 02:06:29,080
Speaker 1: the next eight months until we play again, and throughout

2574
02:06:29,120 --> 02:06:32,600
Speaker 1: the offseason process of training and working out and trying

2575
02:06:32,640 --> 02:06:35,920
Speaker 1: to trying to learn our playbook and getting into some

2576
02:06:36,080 --> 02:06:39,280
Speaker 1: deeper things there and utilizing that it's for sure going

2577
02:06:39,320 --> 02:06:41,400
Speaker 1: to help us out in the long run. And you

2578
02:06:41,440 --> 02:06:44,280
Speaker 1: know it sucks now, but I can't win them all.

2579
02:06:45,520 --> 02:06:47,560
Speaker 1: We can't learn from this and try to use it

2580
02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:49,600
Speaker 1: for the better and the guys that we have in

2581
02:06:49,640 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 1: this locker room, I've got no doubt that's what we'll do.

2582
02:06:52,840 --> 02:06:56,280
Speaker 1: Tight end Dawson knocks the Texans loss serves as fuel

2583
02:06:56,360 --> 02:06:59,120
Speaker 1: for next season. I think everyone on our team has

2584
02:06:59,120 --> 02:07:02,200
Speaker 1: a similar feeling of you know, that loss is really tough,

2585
02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:05,520
Speaker 1: especially as competitors. You hate losing. Um, it's just a

2586
02:07:05,600 --> 02:07:09,080
Speaker 1: really bitter feeling because you know you can't really you know,

2587
02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:13,000
Speaker 1: play again until whenever our next game is. But um,

2588
02:07:13,080 --> 02:07:14,840
Speaker 1: I think that motivation is going to be really key

2589
02:07:14,920 --> 02:07:17,520
Speaker 1: for a lot of us. Senator Mitch Moore sound what

2590
02:07:17,680 --> 02:07:21,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen can do to take the next step. I mean,

2591
02:07:22,160 --> 02:07:24,000
Speaker 1: we also have so much to learn. I think the

2592
02:07:24,080 --> 02:07:27,440
Speaker 1: next step for him is taking some time, letting his body,

2593
02:07:27,520 --> 02:07:30,680
Speaker 1: heal it in his mind, kind of decompressing the coming

2594
02:07:30,680 --> 02:07:32,520
Speaker 1: back with just a fire that he you know, he's

2595
02:07:32,640 --> 02:07:36,240
Speaker 1: he's such a competitive dude. You know, if you if

2596
02:07:36,280 --> 02:07:38,640
Speaker 1: you look at Josh from game one to games you

2597
02:07:38,720 --> 02:07:42,840
Speaker 1: know seventeen, which was yesterday. Uh, the mouth that he's grown,

2598
02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:46,600
Speaker 1: just as in the huddle of his presence, the calmness,

2599
02:07:46,720 --> 02:07:49,520
Speaker 1: the fire that he brings. It was special. So if

2600
02:07:49,600 --> 02:07:51,600
Speaker 1: if he can make that jump from game one to

2601
02:07:51,760 --> 02:07:53,960
Speaker 1: Game seventeen, it's gonna be tremendous to see what he

2602
02:07:54,040 --> 02:07:58,040
Speaker 1: can do next few minute. Defensive end Shack Lawson recapping

2603
02:07:58,080 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season. Oh yeah, when you look back

2604
02:08:02,280 --> 02:08:05,000
Speaker 1: and see who was that last year and this time

2605
02:08:05,120 --> 02:08:07,840
Speaker 1: this year, Um, you look back, it's a great season

2606
02:08:07,920 --> 02:08:10,760
Speaker 1: and this team only gonna get better from I said

2607
02:08:10,760 --> 02:08:12,400
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, it's gonna be a

2608
02:08:12,440 --> 02:08:14,600
Speaker 1: special team. When it was a special team, we caught

2609
02:08:14,600 --> 02:08:16,240
Speaker 1: a lot of called a lot of people eyes that

2610
02:08:16,320 --> 02:08:21,640
Speaker 1: shiar and breaking Buffalo Bills back running back Frank Gore

2611
02:08:21,760 --> 02:08:24,240
Speaker 1: and its impressions of the Bills after its first season

2612
02:08:24,320 --> 02:08:28,880
Speaker 1: with the organization. This team, it's young Taylers, that's man.

2613
02:08:29,240 --> 02:08:34,720
Speaker 1: It's great. You know I'm being coach Um McDermot and um,

2614
02:08:35,040 --> 02:08:38,720
Speaker 1: they did a great job. Man. This team got a

2615
02:08:38,760 --> 02:08:41,080
Speaker 1: lot of young Tyler, a lot of young taller and

2616
02:08:42,880 --> 02:08:45,839
Speaker 1: I think you know, um, they put themselves in position

2617
02:08:45,880 --> 02:08:48,800
Speaker 1: to be the top dolls in this division. For for

2618
02:08:48,920 --> 02:08:51,960
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Man, I had a great time here.

2619
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:57,080
Speaker 1: Um Man, this locker room was great on great people,

2620
02:08:57,640 --> 02:09:02,600
Speaker 1: on great coaches. Um I'm happy that I can't there.

2621
02:09:02,600 --> 02:09:04,600
Speaker 1: You go around the locker room presented by connect like

2622
02:09:04,720 --> 02:09:06,960
Speaker 1: Blood and Oregon Donor Network. The Bills do have some

2623
02:09:07,080 --> 02:09:09,840
Speaker 1: free agents. Frank Gore at at or near the top

2624
02:09:09,880 --> 02:09:11,600
Speaker 1: of that list. It remains to be seen who among

2625
02:09:11,680 --> 02:09:15,200
Speaker 1: this group will be signed. Others include Sonaris Perry, Quentin Spain.

2626
02:09:15,800 --> 02:09:18,320
Speaker 1: That would seem to be a priority to resign him, Lea,

2627
02:09:18,320 --> 02:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Adrian Wattle, Shack Lawson's gonna be an interesting question. Jordan Phillips,

2628
02:09:22,160 --> 02:09:26,360
Speaker 1: same for him, Orice Alexander, Julian Stanford, Kevin Johnson, Kurt Coleman,

2629
02:09:26,400 --> 02:09:29,760
Speaker 1: Dean Marlowe, Isaiah McKenzie is a restricted free agent, and

2630
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:33,640
Speaker 1: three exclusive rights free agents Robert Foster, Jason Croome and

2631
02:09:33,800 --> 02:09:36,680
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace. We'll talk more about these decisions, but important

2632
02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:39,040
Speaker 1: decisions to be made. Steve, Yeah, I think there's no

2633
02:09:39,200 --> 02:09:41,560
Speaker 1: question there's, you know, at least three or four guys

2634
02:09:41,600 --> 02:09:45,880
Speaker 1: on that list that were really contributors this year. Jordan Phillips,

2635
02:09:45,880 --> 02:09:48,160
Speaker 1: Shack Laws in chief among them, and of course Quentin Spain,

2636
02:09:48,280 --> 02:09:51,160
Speaker 1: who at one point I think at this season he

2637
02:09:51,520 --> 02:09:53,800
Speaker 1: didn't give up a sack all year at left guard.

2638
02:09:54,480 --> 02:09:56,320
Speaker 1: He was a surprise signing. I know there were a

2639
02:09:56,320 --> 02:09:59,080
Speaker 1: lot of people who didn't who were you know when

2640
02:09:59,160 --> 02:10:00,760
Speaker 1: he first got signed the team, it was kind of

2641
02:10:00,800 --> 02:10:02,600
Speaker 1: a whole hume, who you know, who is this guy?

2642
02:10:02,640 --> 02:10:05,440
Speaker 1: And he turned into the left guard during training camp

2643
02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:08,440
Speaker 1: and he never let it up, never never deviated from

2644
02:10:08,480 --> 02:10:10,640
Speaker 1: that spot and really played well this year. And of

2645
02:10:10,720 --> 02:10:14,720
Speaker 1: course Shack lost in in Jordan Phillips. They put together

2646
02:10:14,760 --> 02:10:17,960
Speaker 1: their best seasons as professionals and they're gonna make They're

2647
02:10:17,960 --> 02:10:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of money this year. Good for them.

2648
02:10:19,480 --> 02:10:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Bills will do with them,

2649
02:10:21,360 --> 02:10:24,280
Speaker 1: whether they can whether those two guys have priced themselves

2650
02:10:24,400 --> 02:10:27,880
Speaker 1: out of out of the roster here in Buffalo. I'm

2651
02:10:27,880 --> 02:10:29,600
Speaker 1: sure both of them would love to play here. I mean,

2652
02:10:29,680 --> 02:10:33,120
Speaker 1: it's a great spot for them, but that's a financial decision.

2653
02:10:33,120 --> 02:10:35,200
Speaker 1: It's going to be up to them and their representations

2654
02:10:35,280 --> 02:10:38,040
Speaker 1: decide what they want ye to stay and where they

2655
02:10:38,080 --> 02:10:39,520
Speaker 1: want to get out to the free agent market, all

2656
02:10:39,600 --> 02:10:41,600
Speaker 1: kinds of offseason moves to com will take a break

2657
02:10:41,640 --> 02:10:44,000
Speaker 1: here It's One Bill's Life, presented by Kalia Health from

2658
02:10:44,040 --> 02:10:47,480
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studio in Orchard Park. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

2659
02:11:00,080 --> 02:11:01,800
Speaker 1: It's time for what have we learned from today's show?

2660
02:11:01,840 --> 02:11:04,960
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction of Quimbon

2661
02:11:05,040 --> 02:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Rental company of the Buffalo Bills. Chris Brown joined US

2662
02:11:07,160 --> 02:11:10,400
Speaker 1: Bills Insider from Buffalo Bills dot com. You're talking about

2663
02:11:10,480 --> 02:11:13,480
Speaker 1: Josh Hallon adding into this offseason after the loss to

2664
02:11:13,600 --> 02:11:18,120
Speaker 1: the Texans on Saturday. You know the fact that this

2665
02:11:18,320 --> 02:11:21,040
Speaker 1: game is going to stick with him and serve as

2666
02:11:21,040 --> 02:11:22,800
Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder, I think is a good thing.

2667
02:11:23,320 --> 02:11:25,560
Speaker 1: I think the fact that he cannot go out again

2668
02:11:25,680 --> 02:11:27,840
Speaker 1: this weekend and play another game to forget about this

2669
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:31,560
Speaker 1: one may actually fuel him all the more to improve

2670
02:11:31,680 --> 02:11:34,440
Speaker 1: himself in the offseason. And I thought it was very telling.

2671
02:11:34,640 --> 02:11:36,920
Speaker 1: The first thing that he said, because I asked him,

2672
02:11:37,560 --> 02:11:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, what do you have on your personal to

2673
02:11:39,200 --> 02:11:41,720
Speaker 1: do list? The first thing out of his mouth was

2674
02:11:42,400 --> 02:11:45,800
Speaker 1: his mechanics. He still knows that there are certain elements

2675
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:48,680
Speaker 1: of his passing mechanics that do not make him as

2676
02:11:48,760 --> 02:11:51,320
Speaker 1: efficient to quarterback as maybe some of the top ones

2677
02:11:51,360 --> 02:11:54,240
Speaker 1: in the league. So I think he knows that his

2678
02:11:54,400 --> 02:11:58,680
Speaker 1: mechanics have to be more sound on a down to

2679
02:11:58,840 --> 02:12:01,520
Speaker 1: down series to series the basis play after play after

2680
02:12:01,640 --> 02:12:04,160
Speaker 1: play after play after play, to the point where he's

2681
02:12:04,200 --> 02:12:06,720
Speaker 1: not even thinking about it. Chris Brown and Josh Ellen

2682
02:12:06,840 --> 02:12:09,360
Speaker 1: Eric what joined us about an hour so ago, and

2683
02:12:09,440 --> 02:12:11,680
Speaker 1: he talking about the Bills not being more aggressive late

2684
02:12:11,720 --> 02:12:14,040
Speaker 1: in the first half when they had the football. Here's Eric.

2685
02:12:15,560 --> 02:12:17,560
Speaker 1: It was honestly just hard for me to explain what

2686
02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:20,840
Speaker 1: their strategy was other than just settling for three points.

2687
02:12:21,560 --> 02:12:24,280
Speaker 1: I understand you always run the risk of a sack

2688
02:12:24,440 --> 02:12:28,520
Speaker 1: moving backwards, making the field goal longer, a penalty that

2689
02:12:28,560 --> 02:12:30,520
Speaker 1: could have scooted you back. At the time, I was

2690
02:12:30,520 --> 02:12:32,160
Speaker 1: just kind of had a loss rewards and I'm not

2691
02:12:32,240 --> 02:12:36,000
Speaker 1: sure exactly what they're thinking was there, but I just

2692
02:12:36,160 --> 02:12:38,240
Speaker 1: wanted them to take a shot in the end zone,

2693
02:12:38,840 --> 02:12:41,400
Speaker 1: maybe probably even have time for two shots at the

2694
02:12:41,520 --> 02:12:44,280
Speaker 1: end zone. You know, we're talking about the Houston Texans

2695
02:12:44,320 --> 02:12:47,320
Speaker 1: that came into the game ranked last in the NFL

2696
02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:50,160
Speaker 1: and red zone defense. I thought that was an opportunity

2697
02:12:50,160 --> 02:12:52,640
Speaker 1: to be more aggressive. But what I always referred to

2698
02:12:52,840 --> 02:12:55,640
Speaker 1: back whenever we're making the calls, Murph, every time I

2699
02:12:55,880 --> 02:12:58,600
Speaker 1: questioned a call or question a decision. The Bills are

2700
02:12:58,640 --> 02:13:01,320
Speaker 1: ten and six, coming off a six and ten record

2701
02:13:01,440 --> 02:13:07,760
Speaker 1: last year. M I trust the decision makers they have, Oh, Steve,

2702
02:13:08,040 --> 02:13:10,320
Speaker 1: there's so many questions about that game. I don't think

2703
02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:12,960
Speaker 1: we've I feel like we've just brushed over this. So

2704
02:13:13,120 --> 02:13:15,880
Speaker 1: many regrets there are right, it's crazy. We're gonna have

2705
02:13:15,920 --> 02:13:17,520
Speaker 1: to do some more of this tomorrow. The fun part

2706
02:13:17,560 --> 02:13:19,560
