00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

2
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: All Right and Native Jo I'm day here on One

3
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as we

4
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: kind of close in on super Bowl weekend, which we'll

5
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: get to in a second, because that's also our topic

6
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: of discussion as we have two weeks until we get

7
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: there following Championship weekend, and now it is upon us.

8
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm very curious to see how people

9
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: are going to respond to this, because I don't know

10
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,639
Speaker 2: just what you've heard in your own circle of people,

11
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: you know that you talk to on a regular basis.

12
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: But I know there are some folks in my circle

13
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 2: of people who have no interest in watching it, still

14
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 2: bitter about the AFC Title game. And at the same time,

15
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: I've got people who, well, as you know, in any group,

16
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: you have people that watch the Super Bowl for many

17
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: different reasons. Some people just want to watch the commercials,

18
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: right I've done, you know, they're into that, Like some

19
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 2: people have squares pools, so they're in it for personal gain.

20
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. There have been times when I've

21
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: had Super Bowl watch parties at the house. I had

22
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: like thirty five people over right. And when we start

23
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: talking about having this question on as the show like

24
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: a day or two ago, and we decided today we'd

25
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: do it. I look at my my wife. I was like,

26
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: by the way, what are we going to do? What

27
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: are we to do anything?

28
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: Right?

29
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Uh, we didn't plan anything for obvious reasons. Because of

30
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: a chance I would we you and I and all

31
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: we'd all shows down there, right, So we didn't plan anything.

32
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: And and super Bowls are a little bit like, well

33
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: not a little bit, they are. They're a yearly occurrence

34
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of people they have stuff going on, like,

35
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: so they have routines they get into, right, they have

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: they watch it with the same people, they watch it

37
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: with whatever. And Uh, I don't know what I'm I.

38
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: I think I'm watching it with the with the grand kid,

39
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, the family.

40
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, immediate family.

41
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: Probably I am. My indifference to that is probably telling.

42
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because we're walking up to get a coffee

43
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: here at the office the other day and I think

44
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: it was Monday or Tuesday, and you're just like, I

45
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: have not even given a second of thought to what

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: I'm doing in terms of where and how I might

47
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 2: be taking in that game. If at all, uh andy,

48
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: it's a little bit of a a little bit of

49
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: a downer. I don't think that's there's any doubt about that.

50
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: But I'm sure, I'm sure the response to that Twitter

51
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: question we put out will tell us the exact same.

52
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like the I do like the commercials.

53
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: It's a it's an event. I have long said for me,

54
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: if I'm when I become a commissioner, by the way,

55
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be, it's going to be Super Bowl

56
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: Saturday instead of Super Bowl Sunday.

57
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the game, well what does it usually start

58
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: around six thirty kickoff somewhere in there.

59
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: Give everybody the day off, next day over and then

60
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: the winning.

61
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: Team, well, don't worry when we go to eighteen games.

62
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Sunday will be the day before President's Day

63
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: and you'll be all set.

64
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: Then that'll be fine. I'll allow that. But that that's

65
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: where it's going. Yeah, right, So I'm I just think

66
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: it's a better way. And you got two weeks between them.

67
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: It's not like they need the extra day, and you know,

68
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: give everybody a travel day or a celebration day, a

69
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: celebration day, and you know, and then go back to work.

70
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think of other

71
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: sports in this country, and like a day off after

72
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: a major sporting event.

73
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Well, no other sport has the one and done thing.

74
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: Everybody else is like game six, game seven.

75
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: Right right? You know, yeah, I guess it's different that way.

76
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: But I'm not anticipating a national holiday for a professional

77
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: sport in this country. I could be wrong. I'm not anticipating.

78
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: Whether they declare where they've declared officially a holiday. But

79
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: it's an event that you know, you're not moving, You're

80
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: not even the government's not planning something on Super Bowl Sunday.

81
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you were to I'm talking about the day

82
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: off the next day.

83
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: Oh I know, yeah, I know, but it's a it's

84
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: a thing. Okay, So I don't know. I yeah, I'm

85
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: I gotta watch it. We gotta watch it. I gotta

86
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: watch it for work.

87
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 2: Hun, Yeah, all right, you gotta have it on.

88
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: But but I don't know what's and I get to listen.

89
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: If you go down the deep dark conspiracy theory, who

90
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: wins it? If you're the conspiracy theory type, who's gonna win?

91
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: It's got to be the chiefs, right.

92
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: Well, we'll get to that in a second when we

93
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: go around the NFL, because there's some couple of things

94
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 2: I uncovered there or that we'll dive into.

95
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: Or is it something or is it the Eagles winning it?

96
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: Because what you know, because the Chiefs can't go you know,

97
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: three and zero super bowls in a row.

98
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: You know.

99
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did see. I did see that. The Chiefs

100
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: organization talked to former Lakers and Nick's and current Heat

101
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: president Pat Riley, who copyrighted three pat three P the term. Uh,

102
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: they're okay to use it if they win, So I don't.

103
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: I'm sure there was some legal stuff that had to

104
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: take place to get that signed off on by pat Riley.

105
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Illegal stuff as in a check.

106
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: Probably, Oh yeah, probably.

107
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: That's why you get that copyrighted.

108
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: Something tells me the Chiefs can sweat it.

109
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 5: Uh.

110
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: First, we have a few bills notes to pass along

111
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: to you, so we will do that here now. First

112
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: of which was an interesting write up I saw by

113
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: Matt Verderram of si dot com. He listed his top

114
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: five landing spots for the Browns defensive end. Miles Garrett,

115
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: who as we all know, have asked the Browns has

116
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: asked the Browns to trade him. Here was his top

117
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: five lists, five Packers, four Lions, three Bears, two Washington

118
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: DRUMMERLL one You're Buffalo Bills. Here's what he wrote concerning

119
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 2: why the Bills should be a landing spot. He says

120
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: the Bills should pay any price for Garrett. For the

121
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: past five years, they've been a legitimate contender, only to

122
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: fall short, largely because the pass rush can't get home.

123
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: Buffalo has lost to the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes four

124
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: times in that span. In those defeats, they have generated

125
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: five sacks. The other loss was to the Bengals. He

126
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: did acknowledge that GM Brandon Bean might be hesitant to

127
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: make a big move like this again after the way

128
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: that von Miller deal went, but then follows up and

129
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: says he shouldn't feel that way. He writes, beans instincts

130
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: are right. The Bills need a freak off the edge.

131
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: Miller was once such a player, Garrett is such a player.

132
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: Giving up picks and even a player would be worth

133
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: it to acquire one of the league's top defenders.

134
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: I agree with all that, except he's not one of

135
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: the league's top defenders.

136
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: He is the league Well, he's the reigning Defensive Player

137
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: of the Year. He had fourteen sacks this year for

138
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: a team that often was behind on the scoreboard, not

139
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: a head, and he led the league in tackles for

140
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: a loss.

141
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, he the von Miller con. I've

142
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: heard some of this on our social media feeds too.

143
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: People say, well, you know, didn't work with Vaughn. It's

144
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: not gonna work. One has nothing to do with the other, exactly,

145
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: nothing von Miller has, and that contract he signed with

146
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: the Bills has nothing to do with Miles Garrett and

147
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: his contract and the situation should the Bills acquire and

148
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: they have nothing to do with each other. One doesn't

149
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: affect the other. But he's right. People on specially particularly

150
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: on social are like, oh, no, it didn't work with

151
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: von Miller, so it'll never work with Miles Garrett, And

152
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: basically is what they're saying.

153
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: The difference making potential of this player being added to

154
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: this roster is readily apparent to anybody out there who's

155
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: got a laptop and a writing assignment. As SI dot

156
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: COM's mad Verdram had so not surprised by it, just

157
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: thought it was worth pointing out to everybody out there

158
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: that it is firmly on the NFL's radar that the

159
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: Bills would be a fit. That made sense, especially knowing

160
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: Garrett would prefer to win a Super Bowl by going

161
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: to a contender. You know, That's why you look at

162
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: the Bears on this list.

163
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: And yeah, Garrett is not gonna squawk at come into

164
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills at all. He won't squawk.

165
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other Bills note, this is kind of a

166
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 2: cool deal. The Ralsey Wilson Foundation, in conjunction with the

167
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills Foundation, announce the launch of a middle school

168
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: girls flag football initiative here on National Girls and Women's

169
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: in Sports Day thanks to a financial commitment of two

170
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty thousand dollars. The new league will span

171
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: all the way from Section six to Section three here

172
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: in Upstate and Western New York. And I believe there'll

173
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: be seven teams here in Section six at the middle

174
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: school level that will be part of that league that

175
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: I'm assuming will begin in the fall. Awesome, so good

176
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: for them. Flag football is like wildfire right now, especially

177
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: among youth ages.

178
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too, because it is one step

179
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: closer to tackle foot and a lot of parents are

180
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: afraid to let their kids play tackle football. Yeah, but

181
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: flag football yeah sure, and kids want to play. I

182
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: mean they see it on TV, they see the reaction

183
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: to everybody who watch it. They want to be a

184
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: part of it. It's natural. So yeah, they're giving them

185
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: more teams to be a part of Good for them.

186
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Let's transition now to Around the NFL presented by

187
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. And

188
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: when it comes to Super Bowl odds for Sunday Steve,

189
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are favored by a point and a half.

190
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: Of the twenty eight media members who work for NFL

191
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: dot Com in the NFL Network, twenty one of them

192
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: pick the Chiefs to win the game. Just seven pick

193
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: the Eagles to win. Now, look, I understand, but I

194
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: wasn't expecting it to be that lopsided. Are you? Twenty

195
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: one to seven?

196
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: Straight up?

197
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, just picking a winner?

198
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: Are you?

199
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: How does that grab you? Seeing three quarters picking the Chiefs.

200
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear their reasoning for it. I mean, certainly,

201
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are nothing to sneeze at. They're a great team.

202
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: I will say most of their picks were close final scores,

203
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 2: like one score games.

204
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: Nobody picks it a blowout in one of these games

205
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: they eat. Whether it is or not, this is they're

206
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: just trying to not get vilified for their pick. That's

207
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: all forty eg exactly. You know, I get it. It's

208
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: so easy to maybe and you get to they get

209
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: back to the super Bowl. Everybody's been counting them out

210
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: all season.

211
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: Well, and I think it was all. There was a

212
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: three point game. The last time these two teams played two.

213
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: It was smoking mirrors getting to eleven to zero. The

214
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: Bills beat them by nine, and then it was smoking

215
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: mirrors getting to fifteen and two. Yeah, fifteen and two.

216
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: With the smoking mirrors, they're not the same team. Then,

217
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, then they beat Houston, they beat the Bills,

218
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: they beat a really good Bills team. They're thinking, hey,

219
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm tired of getting I'm tired of getting smoked by

220
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: these guys. I'm gonna I can't beat them, I'm gonna

221
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: join them.

222
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it, Chiefs said coach Andy Reid said

223
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: he has no intention of retiring the sixty seven year

224
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 2: old Sideline Bosses coach Kansas City since twenty thirteen. His

225
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 2: direct quote was, I enjoy being around the guys. I

226
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: enjoy the football games. You can't put in the hours

227
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: that we do and not enjoy it. So I really

228
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: love the game. Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said he didn't

229
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: think Reid was close to the end of a coaching

230
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: career that to this point has included three hundred one

231
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 2: wins counting playoffs, and three Super Bowl titles. So and

232
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: then I said, I saw somebody write that Reid said

233
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: I'll coach at least one more year, but I didn't

234
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: find that quote anywhere. So he's definitely back for twenty

235
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: twenty five. I guess after that, we'll see.

236
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this'll he may come back in twenty

237
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: twenty five. But if he wins another ten or fifteen

238
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: games twelve, say he wins twelve, he's back to three thirteen.

239
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: He's within a shout of the all time record, right,

240
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: and so that so he's in for at least another

241
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: two years.

242
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: Have you ever stopped to think of what the succession

243
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 2: plan would be like? Is it Spagnolo like?

244
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: Is that today?

245
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 5: It is?

246
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 4: Right?

247
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it could change, but he's only like.

248
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: Three years younger than Reed. He's like sixty four. Yeah,

249
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: I think he's in his sixties. I'm pretty sure he's

250
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: in his sixties. I'll look it up.

251
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, though, here's the way to work.

252
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: Get the Hunt family would say, you know what, it's

253
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: been a great run that we're gonna we're gonna, Yeah,

254
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: he's sixty five. We're gonna give Spagnolo a nice financial

255
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: kiss goodbye. He's gonna have the team for a couple

256
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: of years and then we'll move on from him. You

257
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: know that's you know so I yeah, Andy Reid. You

258
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: know he went three in a row as a head

259
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: coach and four total. Maybe maybe you run it back

260
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: one more, see if you can go four in a

261
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: row and put it all, you know, put it out there.

262
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: You know, he's sixty sevens a lot though, Yeah.

263
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: I mean Pelichick was seventy three when he parted ways

264
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: with the Patriots.

265
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: In the last three years. Weren't pretty, No, And it's

266
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: the same situation. What happens if you know Mahomes is there.

267
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Holme's gonna play at least another seven eight years. Oh,

268
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna make it to fifteen years easily. And same

269
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: with Josh, same with Lamar. Probably these guys, we're gonna

270
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, be staring at these guys. These guys are

271
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: gonna be on the mountain rushmore of this era. So yeah,

272
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. Of course, everybody outside of Kansas is going, yeah,

273
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's a great career. You should retire, Please

274
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: go right and take pat with you. Right. So, I

275
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: don't know Kelsey is going to play another year or two,

276
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: probably he's thirty five. If they win this, they're all

277
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna come back and try and run it back and

278
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: get back there again, even if they lose it, so

279
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: they can go, you know, be the second team to

280
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: go four straight and the only team to ever win

281
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: one and while going four straight, maybe win four straight.

282
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: Perish the thought they're coming back.

283
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna run this thing back.

284
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

285
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: They have some free agents that they have to take

286
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: care of too, so we'll see. The NFL Referees Association,

287
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: the union that represents NFL officials, issued a statement yesterday

288
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: that read, in part, we appreciate the NFL Commissioner's comments

289
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: this week about our members unwavering dedication to fairness and

290
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: maintaining the integrity of the game. Commissioner Goodell's comments that

291
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: it is ridiculous to presume that NFL officials are not

292
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: doing everything possible to make the right call on every

293
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: play is spot on. Officiating crews do not work the

294
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: same team more than twice each regular season. It is

295
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: in so and preposterous to hear conspiracy theories that somehow

296
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: seventeen officiating crews of one hundred and thirty eight officials

297
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: are colluding to assist one team, It went on to

298
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 2: The statement went on to explain how officials are greated

299
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: every week on every play, and those grades determine who

300
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: gets postseason crew assignments, and it closed stating that on

301
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: every single down, NFL officials on the field and in

302
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: the replay booth do everything humanly possible to officiate every

303
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: play correctly. And I don't dispute that at all. I

304
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: do find it interesting, though, that they felt compelled to

305
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: issue a statement like this. They clearly hear the noise.

306
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: It's down the country.

307
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: It's a thing. Yeah, it's a thing.

308
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: They've never done this before, They've never say this so

309
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: far as to release a social.

310
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: Media being what it is.

311
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: This is.

312
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of a new phenomenon, relatively new. But I'll

313
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: say this too if if, and I agree with them,

314
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: I don't think that it's some sort of dark conspiracy theory,

315
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: but I'll say this. The question then becomes, why is

316
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: it or what is it about the Kansas City Chiefs

317
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: and the way they play the game that leverages the

318
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: officiating presence and the way the game is officiated in

319
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: their favor consistently? How is that possible? Because it is

320
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: a thing. They play the game. Andy Reid coaches the game,

321
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: Pat Reid does it, Mahomes does his thing, whatever the

322
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: thing is, there's something out there that allows the Chiefs

323
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: to play the game in such a way that they

324
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: get calls once in a while and something as simple

325
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: as spotting the ball. Why is and I wonder why

326
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: that is? Why has it happened there? And why does

327
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: it happen to him? I don't even know if it

328
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: happens to them, you know, outside of Cancie. Maybe it's

329
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: a home cooking thing. I don't know, Maybe something about

330
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: the stadium has tilted their way, whatever, But they get

331
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot of home games in the playoffs, so there's that.

332
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: But something about the way they play the game. Then

333
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: if all this conspiracy theory stuff is hogwash, which it is,

334
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: what is it about that way they play again, and

335
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: I get Mahomes. You know, he flops. Josh Allen flops,

336
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: he gets calls on the road, he gets calls at home.

337
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes does the same thing.

338
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: I think a big part of it is the fact

339
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: that they do. They have played the majority of their

340
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: playoff games since Mahome's been in the starting lineup at Arrowhead. Yeah,

341
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: and so I think we can all agree, even the

342
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: most ardent conspiracy theorists would agree that if a team

343
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: plays on the road in the playoffs, they are more

344
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: likely to incur more penalties. Just by virtue of the

345
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: fact that it's harder for your offense to operate with

346
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: crowd noise, You're likely to have more pre snap penalties,

347
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 2: things of that nature. So naturally you would assume that

348
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: the away team in a playoff game is going to

349
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: probably wind up with more flags at the end. Assuming

350
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: both teams are pretty good quality execution kind of teams

351
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: and are pretty buttoned up, you would assume that, I

352
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: think from the jump, and with the exception of last

353
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 2: year's playoffs when the Chiefs had to go on the road,

354
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 2: they've almost exclusively been at home, so they're gonna probably

355
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: have fewer flags against them because it's easier for their

356
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 2: offense to operate.

357
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: And I'll say it again, the horn that I toot

358
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: all the time is that they're in a ton of

359
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: close games. Playoff games are notoriously close, and when you

360
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: get down to the to the end of these close games,

361
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: the officials are required to insert themselves when necessary pro

362
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: er con. And two of the ways they insert themselves

363
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: are bad, one by allowing them to play and one

364
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: team to cheat or get a away with something, the

365
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: other calling something that didn't happen. And the third is

366
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: finally getting it right. And then even when they get

367
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: it right, they're gonna be they're gonna be uh criticized

368
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: for a tiki tak call, right, you should let them play,

369
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: they should you know, you shouldn't call something like that

370
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: because it wasn't enough of a penalty. They can't win.

371
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: They're never gonna be able to win in the in

372
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: the end of a tight game.

373
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 2: So because they're never going to be perfect, because they're

374
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: human beings, right, and plus.

375
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: You're never gonna be happy with what they did if

376
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: they do their job. If you're the wrong on the

377
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: wrong end of it, like Bills fans have been so

378
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: it's it's the it's an impossible scenario for the officials.

379
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, and because of what I think it's in

380
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: a large part of course, I believe we're right. They

381
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: get more home games than anybody else. They get the beneficiary,

382
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: beneficial benefit of having a team struggling in the in

383
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: the noise, in the environment, and give it to them.

384
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: Although that, you know, a lot of the stuff we're

385
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: talking about, particularly this last game of the AFC Championship Game,

386
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: a lot of that had to do with spots where

387
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: they changed the spot or didn't get at the right spot.

388
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: And consistently, that's the bill short that has nothing to

389
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: do with noise. So that is a perfect segue Steve

390
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: to this. On Sunday, in Super Bowl fifty nine, we

391
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: know Ron Torbert and his crew will officiate the game

392
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: between the Chiefs and the Eagles. They'll be the ones

393
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: spotting the ball and assessing, with the help of the

394
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: chain gang, what is and what is not a first down. Meanwhile,

395
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: in the background, the NFL will continue testing their state

396
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: of the art technology that may not just relegate the

397
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 2: chain gang, but eventually could see an end. Two officials

398
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 2: spotting the ball all together. Caesar Superdome has been outfitted

399
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: with Sony's Hawkeye Technology, a fourteen camera system that monitors

400
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: more than two two skeletal points on a player's body.

401
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: That system, along with the chips in the football and

402
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: the other eighteen specific cameras strategically placed around the stadium,

403
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 2: can all be combined to harvest a fully computerized model

404
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 2: that potentially tracks where the ball is when players are down,

405
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: if someone has achieved a first down, or if they

406
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 2: have scored.

407
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: Now.

408
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: Kimberly Fields, the NFL senior vice president of football Operations,

409
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: told CBS Sports in an interview on Monday, that she

410
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: believes the technology is still a few years away, and

411
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 2: the reason she says that is because where they want

412
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: to get between where they are now, there's some distance

413
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 2: between those two points. Apparently, the testing this past preseason

414
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: hit a few bumps in the road in terms of

415
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: the reliability of the technology. You remember they announced we're

416
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: going to test this in the preseason games at select stadiums,

417
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: and apparently it needs some further tweaking. The Hawkeye tech

418
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 2: system was set up in just five stadiums this past year,

419
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: with more expected this year. Those five stadiums Allegiant Stadium

420
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, Arrowhead Stadium at and T Stadium in

421
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 2: Dallas so far in LA and Caesar super Dome. Now,

422
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 2: despite the fact that Fields said it's a few years away,

423
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: CBS Sports is reporting that the league's Football Operations Group

424
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: plans to recommend using the Virtual Line to Gain technology

425
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: as the primary measurement system in the twenty twenty five

426
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 2: regular season. But according to fields A, Fields told them

427
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: that in the same breath, she said they are a

428
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: few years away. So to me, that means she doesn't

429
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: expect the Competition Committee to support it to become official

430
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: next season, because you need their blessing to institute this

431
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: as a Line to Gain technology.

432
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: It's just like one of the It's like every other

433
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: issue the league faces. I've said this on the show

434
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: a ton They usually get every single issue that faces

435
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: him exactly right. They get it the way they should,

436
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: but it takes a long time because it's got to

437
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: be right and it's got to be proven reliable. This

438
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: hasn't been yet. That's that's all they're waiting on. When

439
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: the believe me, when the technology gets to the point

440
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: where they know it's right every time they're going to

441
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: use it, they'll put it right in, which.

442
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: Is exactly what Commissioner Goodell said on Monday when he

443
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: was asked about it. He said the top two considerations

444
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: with this hawkeye technology are accuracy and reliability.

445
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: Because I'll say this, when they go to this technology

446
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: and they take this off the plate of the officials

447
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: within one season, the officials will lose their ability to

448
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: do it. They won't do it anymore because they don't

449
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: have to. They got they're gonna be concentrating on everything else.

450
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: They won't even watch the ball doing so when you

451
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: want them to spot it, I don't know. They won't

452
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 1: even know how to do it anymore. As soon as

453
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: you take this off the officials plate, they're gonna stop

454
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: worrying about it. Yeah, and they won't be good at

455
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: it anymore. They won't even be able to give you

456
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: a ballpark. So they got to get it right. When

457
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: they get it right, And that line to gain thing

458
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: that's not even done on site, that's done like by

459
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: somebody in another place where it's like and the guy

460
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: just it's the strangest things. It's not even done at

461
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: the stadium where where you're doing the game from or

462
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: didn't used to be, so having the line to gain

463
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: being somewhere other than right there is also if you're

464
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: going to make that official, which has been talking about that.

465
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: Siel says he got a long way to go. Our

466
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: philosophy around technology and innovation around the game is if

467
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 2: it's not going to make it more efficient and make

468
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: administration of the game better and more accurate, we shouldn't

469
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: be doing it. So that's the bar. That's the bar

470
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: that this technology is going to have to clear if

471
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 2: the competition committee is going to accept it, and we

472
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: should know the ball, Yes, it has a chip in it,

473
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: but that does not interface with the six cameras used

474
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: for the virtual line to gain technology that Hawkeye uses.

475
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: Is using those six cameras along with twelve boundary line cameras,

476
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: fourteen cameras for skelet track of players' bodies, make a

477
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: total of thirty two cameras that could eventually all be

478
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 2: morphed together to give you the proper picture to assess

479
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: the line to gain and whether it was reached. But

480
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: they are going to keep building this system and installing

481
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: it in the league's remaining thirty stadium.

482
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: You need and I get it. The chip in the ball. Hey,

483
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: you can put a chip in the ball, will be

484
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: great to work. Well, what if the chips and one

485
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: indo the ball and it's the other end, not in

486
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: the nose of the ball, and it's not in the

487
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: other nose, and that's why they don't use it. Maybe

488
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: they use a chip in each end of the ball. Well,

489
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: what if the ball's vertical and it goes in your milk?

490
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: They believe they can do that with They believe they

491
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: can assess the ball and its location. They have a chip,

492
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: but they don't use it to locate the measure it

493
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: against the line to gain. According to this, they use

494
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: all their different cameras that measure everything, including the player skeletons,

495
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: to assess where the ball and whether it met the

496
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: line to gain. But all this talking kind of proves

497
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: how much ground they still have.

498
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: Also proves you, I at least proved for me. I

499
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: don't know anything about this hawkeye technology and how it works.

500
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, why can't you put a chip in the ball.

501
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: You put them and then you put the ball in

502
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: electronic an electronic measurer, and then that you know the

503
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: shape of the ball in relation to that chip. So

504
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: wherever that chip is, how it is tilted or whatever,

505
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, where the ball is.

506
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's probably a way you could digitally

507
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: map the entire ball similar to the players.

508
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: In conjunction with a little chip in it. Whatever. Yeah,

509
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: So they got a long way to go for that,

510
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: and they're smarter people than me working on it and me,

511
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: but and I know this, when they get it right,

512
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: that's the day it'll be in Hey, they won't wait. Uh.

513
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: Topic of discussion for you today, it's pretty simple. How

514
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: did you feel about watching it this year's Super Bowl?

515
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: I mean, he's still sore and perturbed. I heard a

516
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: guy calling in from Kansas City on Jeremy and Joe's

517
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: show this morning. He he is part of the Bills

518
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: backers out there. They're having a party, but they're not

519
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: watching the game out of protest. So I kind of

520
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: want to know where you guys come down on this.

521
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: How do you feel about watching this year's Super Bowl?

522
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,239
Speaker 2: You let us know at eight h three zho five

523
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 2: fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty and

524
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: we're going to open up the phone lines with Mike

525
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 2: and Orchard Park today. What do you got for his

526
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: mic Hey, guys, how are you good?

527
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: Good?

528
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 6: Okay, I have a couple of things. First off, I

529
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 6: was only going to talk about one, but now I'm

530
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 6: going to talk about the first thing I have to

531
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 6: talk about is von Miller. Everybody are not everybody, but.

532
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 7: A lot of people are really putting a problem with

533
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 7: von Miller, saying that he isn't worth what we paid him,

534
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 7: or he's not worth being on the bills. Well, Steve,

535
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 7: you know as well as I do, because I've talked

536
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 7: to you a few times about von Miller over the

537
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 7: last couple of years. His pressure rate is one of

538
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 7: the highest in the NFL. The only problem is he's.

539
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 6: Not getting quite to the quarterback, but he's putting a

540
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 6: lot of pressure on the quarterback and causing problems. I

541
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 6: would like to keep him on the bills this year,

542
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 6: and I will almost guarantee that he will take a

543
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 6: pay cut to stay with Buffalo because he just bought

544
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 6: a house in Orchard Park, just bought one, so he

545
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 6: isn't planning on leasing. That's number one. Number two is virus.

546
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 6: The officiating is concerns. With all the technology that we

547
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 6: have nowadays, we should the whole game should be officiated

548
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 6: with skycamps. We should have three officials on the field.

549
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 6: We should have two side judges, and we should have

550
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 6: a head official, which is also a back judge, and

551
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 6: the head and the head judges the one that should

552
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 6: be getting called down on every situation and then determining

553
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 6: that what needs to happen. We have too many officials

554
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 6: out there. They literally don't know what they're doing. There's

555
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 6: how many times do you see them humbling over each

556
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 6: other and they don't even know if that'll the call?

557
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 4: They have no idea.

558
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 6: You know, we can, we can start. I'll bring it.

559
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 7: I'll bring something that happened.

560
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 6: A long time ago. I was at the Dan game

561
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 6: in Houston with the kickoffs.

562
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: Yep, at the at the you know going, wait, we

563
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: remember it well, Mike, the home run throwback. No, it's

564
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: crazy talking about the kickoff in the second half in

565
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: the Houston playoff game in twenty nineteen that should have

566
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: been a touchdown for Buffalo.

567
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't uchdown for Buffalo and is illegally ruled not

568
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: a touchdown and that guy and it cost the guy's job.

569
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: And may have cost the Bills the game.

570
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 8: So it did.

571
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's definitely good.

572
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 7: All right, well I have a good day.

573
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, Mike, appreciate it. Yeah, the VON thing's interesting.

574
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: We'll we'll have to see what decisions the Bills decide

575
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: to make. They do have to get under the cap,

576
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: and usually older and higher priced players can sometimes fall

577
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 2: victim to that. But if you think he's going to

578
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: take a major haircut for the second year in a row,

579
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: I mean he should appreciate you doing that. He took

580
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: an eight and a half million dollar haircut last year

581
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: to be here. Does he do it again? Maybe he does.

582
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not going to pretend to know

583
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 2: what he's thinking. But the Bills do have some cap

584
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: maneuvering to do. There could be some cap casualties again

585
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: this offseason, probably not to the degree we saw last year,

586
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: but they're probably gonna have to do some of those

587
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: things to get themselves in compliance and give themselves enough

588
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 2: room to make some moves and enhance the roster. Right,

589
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: And you stated it in terms of your opinion on

590
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: the ref So that is what it is. We are

591
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: up against the break here, we're actually late for the break.

592
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: So we'll take a break here and step aside. We

593
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: come back with more of your phone calls and discuss

594
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 2: the super Bowl this weekend, and what do you feel

595
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: Are you watching this year's Super Bowl and how do

596
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 2: you feel about it? You let us know what ato

597
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: three oh five to fifteen next year on One Bill's Live.

598
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: Stay two. All right back here on one Bill's Live,

599
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you. How do you feel

600
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 2: about watching this year's Super Bowl? Maybe you're still a

601
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: little bit sore fround the AFC Title game turned out.

602
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: We've heard some people are not gonna watch it at all,

603
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: So we're kind of curious for your thoughts on the

604
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: matter as the game is fast approaching. On Sunday eight

605
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: oh three oh five fifty one eighty eight, five point

606
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: fifty two, five fifty And to Judy in Buffalo next,

607
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: what's up Judy?

608
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,479
Speaker 9: Well, you know, I'm beginning to think the Bills avert

609
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 9: a real disaster. I have heard that the Eagles up

610
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 9: there some blind average is six foot six and three

611
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 9: twenty pounds, And if the Bill's defense had to go

612
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 9: up against a line like that, I think we would

613
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 9: have been embarrassed. For instance, I love our offensive line.

614
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 9: I think that's one very greatest asset. But this lion

615
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 9: sounds formidable to me. And before before I sign off,

616
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 9: here's here's my one thing again. I want one offensive asset,

617
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 9: and I think he's available. It will either be Mims

618
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 9: or Dowbs, and we have to get one of those two.

619
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Mims or who Dowbs? Romeo Doves she likes from

620
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. So yeah, we'll see, we'll see what's out

621
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: there and what comes uh Buffalo's way if they you know,

622
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: let's yet, you know, depending on who's back and who's not.

623
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper is he back? Mac Hollins is he back?

624
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: She wants to add one piece on offense, put it

625
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: preferably at receiver.

626
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: Judy, you might be right, but it may not be

627
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: specifically Mems or Dobbs, but it'll be somebody like them

628
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: that they know more about than we do. But yeah,

629
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: they've got to refurbish their roster. They've got a couple

630
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: of guys that are out unless they bring Cooper back

631
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: or mac Hollins back, which they may. They got to

632
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: fill out the roster anyway, right, So yeah, there's gonna

633
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: be some new stuff going on. And you're right, Philly

634
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: has a fantastic roster. They're big team in football. They're

635
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: big and physical, particularly upfront on both sides of the ball.

636
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: Now the Bills, she's the Bills defensive line or offensive

637
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: line as you may. As you were saying. The Bill's

638
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: offensive line is also very big, but the Philly offensive line.

639
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: Is It's almost seventeen pounds.

640
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: One of the reasons is Makai Beckton, who is a

641
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: is a cast off from the Jets who moved down

642
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: to guard. The guys six ' eight, three hundred and

643
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: six fifty plus pounds. So yeah, they've got one guy

644
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: that kind of skews that and he plays guards. So

645
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: they're they're big, but I'm not. Yeah, I'm not thinking

646
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: we dodged a bullet there. The Bills are tough man,

647
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: so yeah, I'm yeah.

648
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to uh Doug in Brockport next.

649
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: What's up, Doug?

650
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 8: Hi, guys.

651
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 5: A couple of things. Okay, the Super Bowl. I'll probably

652
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 5: take a peek at it, but I'm not going to

653
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 5: be as interested, of course, and I'm an old AFL guy,

654
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 5: so I don't even I don't even care if Casey wins.

655
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 5: I mean, it was at the first championship game to

656
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 5: go to that. But I really wanted to talk about

657
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 5: the officiating. As Steve was bringing up something about, you know,

658
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 5: like the phantom calls non calls. I thought I was

659
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 5: complaining about that really early on, about you know, the

660
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 5: Bills I thought were getting hurt a lot. More like

661
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 5: even on that put pass for a touchdown, there was

662
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 5: no holding on the plate. But really back to the officiating.

663
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 5: Simplify the gosh darn rules. I mean, you got the

664
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 5: chuck rule five yards chuck easy, right, but there's so

665
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 5: many gray areas on like when it's a pass interference

666
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 5: or this and that.

667
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 9: I think it.

668
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 5: You know, it used to be you could I know,

669
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 5: I'm going back to the sixties, but you could maul

670
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 5: a guy, beat him up until the ball was in

671
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 5: the air, and then you can't touch him. That's simple.

672
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 2: Well it's simple, but you'd also want you'd also watch

673
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 2: scoring go down by about fourteen points a game, Doug,

674
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: and the the end result of what the league wants

675
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 2: is an entertaining product. That's why pass interference got put

676
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: in the first place, because scoring was so dash darn,

677
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 2: gosh darn low that the product wasn't entertaining enough. So

678
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 2: that's kind of why a lot of these rules. Well,

679
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 2: that's right, but Doug, to your.

680
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 5: Point, I know, to your point, I was just trying

681
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 5: to make a point.

682
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: Right to your point, Doug. Pass interference is officiated with

683
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 2: a judgment call. It's a judgment call. It's not black

684
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: and white. And when you're dealing with seven or eight

685
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 2: humans on the field making judgment calls, they're not going

686
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: to get them all right. Heck, they're not even going

687
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 2: to see half of them. So you have to remember

688
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: that at the very very bottom line of all of

689
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 2: this officiating involves the human element, and that means it's

690
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: never ever going to be perfect.

691
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: We got to this point in the officiating because of

692
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: injustices of the past. I mean, it's just you can't

693
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: get away from it.

694
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 2: And the Bills are example, are unfortunately some of the

695
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: examples of that along the way. And maybe again with.

696
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: This, and you think about this, the Houston Orders. The

697
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: Houston Orders back in the day never been to the

698
00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl because they couldn't get past the you know,

699
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: that's nineteen seventies Pittsburgh Steelers team, when in reality, there

700
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: were plays in those games where the Steelers got the

701
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: benefit because because they're playing at home maybe or whatever.

702
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: Because the officials wouldn't give I mean, they didn't let

703
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: the Oilers score in the back of the end zone.

704
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: When the guy got caught the ball two feet down

705
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: and the official wiped it off. He said he didn't

706
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: get two feet down. They had no recourse. It was

707
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: as playing as day on the replay, on a regular

708
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: speed replay, let alone slow motion. He didn't get it.

709
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: So you go all the way back to the nineteen

710
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: seventies and the reactions to those kind of plays and

711
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: everything going forward from there, and you get to this

712
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: point the game is and I'll say this too, I'm

713
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,879
Speaker 1: one of the few old guys around that will tell

714
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: you that the game is better now than it was

715
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: back then.

716
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 8: It just is.

717
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: It's easy to forget where this game came from. In

718
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties, it was a bar fight.

719
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: And games were being won by plays like Holy Roller.

720
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a bar fight and there weren't any

721
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: of these rules. And I'll say this too, it's the

722
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: game has changed because it's a couple of and it's

723
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: evolved to the point where it's almost unrecognizable. There was

724
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: a guy. I heard a guys say the other night,

725
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: one of the old guys. He said, listen, there were

726
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: thirty four guys on the team with eight reserves. That's

727
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: a whole building. I mean, that's all there was. They

728
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: didn't have special teams players. They didn't have they didn't

729
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: have that a lineback. Paul McGuire was a linebacker and

730
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: he punted, Yeah. I mean that they just didn't have

731
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: enough guys. That's why the old guys, a lot of them,

732
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: were disgusted that a special teams player even got nominated

733
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fames. Those

734
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: are throwaway downs back in the day when the game

735
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: has come so far, you kind of and it's it's

736
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: always going to be about competition. It's always going to

737
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: be ultra competitive. And that's why when you get down

738
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: to the end of these games, somebody's got to step

739
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: in and force the rules and one team is not

740
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: gonna like it. That's just the that's what you sign

741
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: up for.

742
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 2: That's what it is.

743
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: It's no more complicated than that.

744
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: We are gonna step aside for a break here, but

745

764
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:30,479
Speaker 2: Thanks.

765
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 3: You're so informative and you give people a chance to,

766
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 3: you know, say what they want to say. All right,

767
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 3: I have no intention of watching the Super Bowl. I

768
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 3: have a closet that could use some reorganizing, so I

769
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 3: will work on that. Most of the time, my check

770
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 3: in with the score on my phone just to see

771
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 3: what's happening. It's very interesting that you're that you read

772
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 3: the official statement from the officials kind of protecting their

773
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 3: own interests. I think I remember a game last year

774
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia, and I don't remember everything obviously about it.

775
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: We lost, We lost, and it was a terrible weather game,

776
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: and I remember reading the officiating crew that did that

777
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 3: game had done. That was the fourth game of the

778
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 3: season that they did for the for the Eagles, and

779
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 3: every game they officiated with this crew they won. That

780
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 3: the Eagles won, the Eagles won, and I remember thinking

781
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: at the time, how can they possibly be don't they

782
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 3: rotate these officials around? And I just thought that that

783
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 3: was very interesting and kind of a prelude to kind

784
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 3: of what's happening now that we just keep seeing some

785
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 3: of these and not just for the Bills, other teams

786
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 3: that are experiencing this too.

787
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 8: The other thing.

788
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 3: As far as Miles Garrett, I think that's a great

789
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 3: opportunity for being to extend his hand. I think he

790
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 3: has the magic to do it. I think there's a

791
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: way to work it out. They always, the Bills always

792
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 3: seem to find a way to get some of these

793
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 3: players in. When people were talking about Amari Cooper, there was,

794
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 3: you know, some discussion just a little bit, and all

795
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 3: of a sudden, he's driving down the ninety from Cleveland

796
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 3: on a Tuesday to come to Buffalo, and I just think,

797
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 3: I just think that these players when they get here,

798
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 3: when they see what's going on, or in a Marie

799
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 3: Cooper's situation, I mean, he knows Miles Garrett, so he

800
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 3: can tell him what's happening here, and that you know

801
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 3: when you come here, what happens, the kind of coaching

802
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 3: you get, the opportunities you get, And I just I

803
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 3: really feel like he could be not only a great

804
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 3: player to add to our mix, but a great personality

805
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 3: because he wants to win. He wants to win. He's

806
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 3: not just there for I want the biggest contract, I

807
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 3: want to be the highest played player in the league

808
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 3: or whatever like that. All right, but I really think

809
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 3: we really have a good chance. So you keep up

810
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 3: that great work. I so enjoy your program. I really do.

811
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 3: I happen to be home a lot and I get

812
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 3: to listen to you most of the time.

813
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 2: Well, thanks for doing it, Maureen, and good luck with

814
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 2: your closet this weekend. She's choosing to reorganize her closet

815
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 2: rather than watching the super Bowl. Wow, that's something, Yeah,

816
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 2: because I know that's not a choice I would make.

817
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 2: My wife could vouch for it, reorganizing the closet. Thank you,

818
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 2: No Moreen's a better person than me.

819
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: Well, if the thing with Miles Garrett happens, we'll find

820
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: out about it altogether at the same time that stuff

821
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: goes on behind closed doors and will be It's big,

822
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: no question. But here's the thing. You got to remember.

823
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: The Bills are not perfectly positioned to make that trade,

824
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: at least at the current moment, and there are other

825
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: teams who are and with more cap space and better

826
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: draft picks. Even if they even if the Bills gave

827
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: them two ones or whatever, somebody else's ones would be

828
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: higher up towards the top of the draft and you

829
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: can get a better player for that. So now, the

830
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: one thing the Bills might have that other teams don't

831
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 1: is a player on their roster to throw in the

832
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: deal that other teams wouldn't. A specific player maybe, so

833
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: all of that goes in the mix as well. That's

834
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,959
Speaker 1: the only thing that the Bills would be a level

835
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: playing field with. So it's it's a long way off,

836
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't I think. And if and when it happens,

837
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: we're all going to find out at the same time,

838
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: whether it's the Bills or some other team, we'll find

839
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: out together, because that stuff just usually gets sprung on everybody,

840
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: and you don't know if it's going to happen. You

841
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: don't know that it happened or that it's even in

842
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: the works until it's done.

843
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 2: And I don't want to suggest that Maureen was incorrect

844
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 2: when she thought she heard that Sean Hoculey's crew officiated

845
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 2: four Eagles games during last year's regular season. According to

846
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 2: the Officials Association, they only get two games against with

847
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: any one same team over the course of a season.

848
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the previous four games he had over two seasons.

849
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

850
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,439
Speaker 2: They claim two games max for a crew with any

851
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: one team in the league. But Maureen, you did jog

852
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 2: my memory. That was a horribly officiated game by Hockey

853
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 2: Lee in terms of calling it evenly. Look, it's one

854
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 2: thing of a team's just playing flat out dirty and

855
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: deserves all the flags. But at halftime of that game,

856
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 2: which was lost in overtime by the Bills last year

857
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 2: and dropped them to six and six, the official penalty

858
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 2: count at halftime was ten for Buffalo one for Philadelphia,

859
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 2: ten to one. I don't care on what planet you're

860
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 2: officiating an American football game. It should never be that lopsided.

861
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 2: That's hard to do ever. Yeah, I even though that,

862
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 2: even though the Bills were on the road in and

863
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: I think it finished like twelve to four at the end,

864
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 2: they just put the whistles away because they're like Jesus,

865
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 2: and there weren't many makeup calls. Let's go to Butch

866
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 2: in theast side here. What do you got first?

867
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 4: Butcher? First of all, guys, thanks so much to take

868
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 4: my call. I love each and every one of you.

869
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 4: I love WGR, I love MSG into the fans around there,

870
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 4: I love you as well. I'm going to get right

871
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 4: to it. You know, last week when I spoke to you, guys,

872
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 4: I was speaking about, you know, since the season is

873
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 4: over with, and I know a lot of fans are

874
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 4: calling names out, just screaming names out, just like for example,

875
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 4: like Miles Garrett et cetera. But what we have to

876
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 4: do is we have to really understood and I'm gonna

877
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 4: say we and Steve and Chris and I'm gonna use

878
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 4: just us three right now. We've been around this football

879
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 4: team for so many years, Steve will I remember when

880
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 4: you first came Brownie and when we was first started

881
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 4: Bill Johns and you and I used to the rate.

882
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 4: But we have to really understand what type of team

883
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 4: do we want to be. Do we want to just

884
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 4: be a team to get some stack up wins? Do

885
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 4: we want to be a team that just make the

886
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 4: playoffs or do we want championships? And Steve's situation and

887
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 4: he's very fortunate is that and his his his his

888
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 4: trophy shop. He has four AFC championships. Now that's the

889
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 4: hell of an accomplishment. Regardless that they didn't win or not.

890
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 4: The point is they went to the dance and we

891
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 4: didn't win. Okay, so what we still we still win

892
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 4: now and this was g and Brandon Bean has done

893
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 4: an outstanding job. Uh And Sean McDermott is a hell

894
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 4: of a coach.

895
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 3: But we have to.

896
00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 4: Understand moving forward, starting now, especially with a like a

897
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 4: Josh Allen who doesn't come around that often. What do

898
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 4: we really want to do and how are we going

899
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 4: to do it? And how bad do we want it?

900
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is sometimes as individual people,

901
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 4: we can think we know things, but we might actually

902
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 4: might we might not ask for help to move forward

903
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:21,240
Speaker 4: to better ourself.

904
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 2: Where are you going with this? Because I think I

905
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 2: think it's unquestionably true. I think it's unquestionably true that

906
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 2: the Bills want to win a championship and they're doing

907
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 2: their damn just to get it done.

908
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 4: This is why I don't want to be long with

909
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 4: I just want to just set that table up. I'm

910
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 4: going right at it now. Here we go. Let's eat

911
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 4: Number one is Sean mcdummy has been there. The defensive

912
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 4: veilosophy that he's using, he's brought that over he started

913
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 4: off with when he started off, he learnt a lot

914
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 4: of that in Philadelphia. He took it to Carolina. He

915
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 4: was successful there and he got the Buffalo. It's not working.

916
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 4: He's not working. He's not working. He's when he's second up, wins,

917
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 4: but he's playing bid don't break. You can't do that

918
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 4: in today's society. Secondly, offensively, U on on on the

919
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 4: On the scheming side, Joe Brady's only been in the

920
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 4: game five years. Josh Allen came to at twenty seventeen.

921
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 4: Joe started started coaching the twenty eight week.

922
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: You know the history.

923
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's not a good coach. Then I

924
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 4: say he's a good coach. What we need and then

925
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna hang up and thanks for taking my call.

926
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 4: What we need is we need wise, guys. We need

927
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 4: two wives. Defensive assistant, offensive system, somebody who's been around

928
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 4: his game that has a resume. AKA this take Dove

929
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 4: Peterson for example. You can bring him into offensive assistant

930
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 4: to work with Joe Braddy and help help them build

931
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 4: that offense even better with more experience. Beef is aside

932
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 4: and the ball. Yeah, you've got Bobby, you got you

933
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 4: got sear somebody.

934
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: All right, But they need to they need to bolster

935
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: their coaching staff, get a little more creative, and do

936
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: some different things schematically. And here's the thing. The schematics

937
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL always follow your talent. That's what it follows.

938
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: Your scheme is gonna be per built around what your

939
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: team does well, your players and what they do well.

940
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: So this team offensively is built around Josh Allen and

941
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: the offensive line. James Cook was a beneficiary, that Ty

942
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:11,240
Speaker 1: Johnson was a beneficiary, that Khalis Shakir Knox, Kinkaid. All

943
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 1: those guys were beneficiaries of the quarterback and an offensive

944
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: line that were really good, and they built it around that.

945
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: They ran the ball more than most teams do because

946
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: they could behind that offensive line. That's the offensive philosophy

947
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: that they had. The defensive philosophy they bend but don't

948
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: break because they don't have a game wrecker up front.

949
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: They don't have one. They don't have a guy that's

950
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: going to force the ball to come out all the

951
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: time so their dbs can jump routes. What they did

952
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: better than anybody else. The only thing they brought to

953
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: the table this year's defensively, defensively was punching the ball out.

954
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: That's it.

955
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 2: They couldn't do anything else, even above the middle of

956
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 2: the pack in the lay of points against which they

957
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 2: were eleventh.

958
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: They need some they need some guys.

959
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 2: They're playing with a short year.

960
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: You can say what you want about the coaches, but

961
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: this offense was record. It was it was unprecedented, and

962
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: it was franchise best ever period. Nobody Jim didn't do

963
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: it better, Thurman, all those. You can say what you

964
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: want about having the guys, but this offense was more

965
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: productive than those guys were in their best year. So

966
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: this offense was cooking. Defensively, they tried to keep up

967
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: with it, but they just couldn't. They They didn't have

968
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: a Bruce Smith or Carnelius Bennett or Darryl Tally. They

969
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: didn't have any of those jokers. So their defensive end.

970
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: Offense of philosophy is always in the NFL. At this level,

971
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: it's always built around your players and what they do best,

972
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: and you get what you get when.

973
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 2: You gotta make it work.

974
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,280
Speaker 1: You can. You got to make it work, and that's.

975
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 2: Why you saw what you saw, and you saw the

976
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:44,919
Speaker 2: philosophy that you witnessed from your team.

977
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: Way it's been for multitude of years under Sean Mcdermot's

978
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 1: just the way it's worked out.

979
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 2: Gotta break here when we come back. Our number two

980
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 2: will begin with Bill's team reporter Matty Glab in studio

981
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: here for a year end edition of the Maddie Awards.

982
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 2: They're coming your way next year on one of Bill's

983
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 2: lives anybody gone to help. It's Buffalo Bill's Race. This

984
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, presented by Callida Health all Right, second

985
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 2: hour of One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with You,

986
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 2: and joining studio now by Bill's team reporter Matti glab

987
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 2: also co host of Bills Tonight for a season ending

988
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 2: edition of the Maddie Awards, which as always are presented

989
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 2: by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills.

990
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 2: Hey man, you haven't seen you a little bit here.

991
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 10: I know sad to be here today. You know, I

992
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 10: would hope that we were doing the Maddies, you know,

993
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 10: after this weekend celebrating a super Bowl victory, but that's

994
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 10: not the case. But alas I know, we had last

995
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 10: week to kind of talk about everything that happened in

996
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 10: that final game that the Bill's played in against the Chiefs.

997
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 10: But I think it's okay to spin some of this

998
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,319
Speaker 10: positively because there are a lot of things that happen

999
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 10: this season that we can be proud of. So I'm

1000
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 10: going to put on my positivity cap and we're going

1001
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 10: to sing some.

1002
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: Praises to really yeh, it's a beauty of a regular season,

1003
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: even a great playoff run, got down deep and pushed

1004
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to the brink in the whole nine yards

1005
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of it. You look back at, it

1006
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: was an incredibly fun season. Yeah, all the way around.

1007
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: And once again, I mean the thing that grasps me

1008
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: about this team it always has with Sean McDermott and

1009
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: these guys, I don't ever remember. Of course it was

1010
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: seventeen years of a drought before this, but right, I

1011
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: never remember having any team well. I just could not

1012
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 1: wait to see those guys play. Whatever game it was

1013
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: home or away, Monday night, Sunday night, Sunday one, what

1014
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: didn't matter. I just, man, I can't wait to see

1015
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: these guys play. I really look forward to watching Josh

1016
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: and this defense and all the guys we've come to

1017
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: know and love. Just I just want to see him

1018
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: play again. It's so fun because they give you something

1019
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: every every game.

1020
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 2: And there almost had thirty points on lockdown for a

1021
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 2: while there.

1022
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're just you know, they're just so hard

1023
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: to beat. You know they're going to be there, so

1024
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: it's fun. I just it's so you look back on

1025
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: this season, there's more of that. I mean, like, was

1026
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: it how many games they score thirty points.

1027
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 2: Or something like twelve and then one one in the post.

1028
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 1: So it was it was a hoot man.

1029
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, let's begin with the obvious MVP,

1030
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 2: the MVP award.

1031
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 10: We're going to figure out who is the real MVP

1032
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 10: of the NFL season soon enough. That's tomorrow night, guys.

1033
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 10: Tomorrow night, we will find out. Fingers crossed for Josh Allen.

1034
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 10: But I'm naming Josh Allen as the Buffalo Bills his

1035
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 10: MVP of the season. He stepped up his leadership in

1036
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 10: such a big way this season. You talk to different

1037
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 10: players on the roster, you ask what's different about Josh

1038
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,760
Speaker 10: this year, and they'll say his leadership. He really become

1039
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 10: became really confident in who he is as a person.

1040
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 10: We heard from Sean McDermott after the season ended and

1041
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 10: he said, Allen's leadership is the reason why we did

1042
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 10: what we did this season. That is huge for a

1043
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 10: head coach to say that about his quarterback. He took

1044
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 10: an offense that was loaded with new players, a new

1045
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 10: offensive codinner, and brought it to an offense that was

1046
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 10: the second best in the league. Many thought without a

1047
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 10: number one wide receiver, this offense would fail, and that

1048
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 10: was not the case. He also did an incredible job

1049
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 10: at valuing the football. Josh Allen went from twenty two

1050
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 10: turnovers last year to eight turnovers this year. That is

1051
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 10: massive growth and I think it's something that a lot

1052
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 10: of people are underreacting to. He just led the team

1053
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 10: to overall success. Josh Allen grew chemistry with his receivers.

1054
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 10: His athletic ability is unmatched, and he became a really

1055
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 10: efficient passer on those short routes this season. I think

1056
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 10: that's something we saw Alan excel at with a guy

1057
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 10: like Khalil Shakir for him to throw the ball to

1058
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 10: most touchdowns in franchise history two hundred and sixty two.

1059
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 10: He ties Thrman Thomas for the most rushing touchdowns in

1060
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 10: Bill's history, and he continues to level up his play

1061
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 10: this season. I think Josh Allen's best ball is still

1062
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 10: in front of him.

1063
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 2: And you know, from the leadership perspective, I think what

1064
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 2: made him feel so comfortable to step in and really

1065
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 2: fill that void in a way he had never done

1066
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 2: before was because of all the captains who left, you know, Poyer, Hide,

1067
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 2: Mitch Morse, you know, run down the list of leaders

1068
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 2: that went out the door in captains, and I think

1069
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 2: that's why he felt so comfortable filling it now to

1070
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 2: mention the fact that they went from six captains to two. Yeah,

1071
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 2: right with him and Bernard that was it. So it's like, oh,

1072
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 2: I really do have to step up here. I think

1073
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 2: that's what made him so comfortable in doing that.

1074
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1075
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 10: We also have an honorable mention for MVKA because Josh

1076
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 10: Allen's job can't get done at the level he did

1077
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 10: it at without the offensive line. They deserve a shout

1078
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 10: out here because they were the glue guys for this

1079
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 10: offense to operate in the way that it did. They

1080
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 10: allowed just fourteen sacks, it was a league low, and

1081
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 10: they protected Josh Allen so that he had the time

1082
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 10: to make the right decisions.

1083
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,439
Speaker 11: You also saw their chemistry on the field.

1084
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 10: The offensive line operated in unison, and you saw that

1085
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 10: with how they treated each other off the field. I

1086
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 10: love how of a cohesive unit that group was, and

1087
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 10: the rushing offense came alive with their protection. I mean,

1088
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 10: you have a top ten rushing offense this year and

1089
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 10: a running back in James Cook who ties for the

1090
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 10: lead for sixteen rushing touchdowns, which led the league with

1091
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 10: Derrick Henry. I think the rushing offense was one of

1092
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 10: this offense is superpowers.

1093
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 11: It's what they leaned on.

1094
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 10: It's what they went to when when other things weren't working,

1095
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 10: and I think they really believed in it throughout the season.

1096
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 10: We're going to see more of that next year. I

1097
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 10: think it was one of the most valuable pieces to

1098
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 10: get the offense rolling. Was the offensive line in the

1099
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 10: way that they performed game in game out.

1100
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: Led the league in rushing touchdowns with thirty two, which

1101
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 2: is a number that ask any offensive linemen. They're happy

1102
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 2: to hang their hat on that one. Yeah, leally biggest surprise.

1103
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 2: I think they could have been a couple of choices.

1104
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 11: You know it was You could go a couple different

1105
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 11: ways with this. One.

1106
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 10: Biggest surprise for me was Ty Johnson. Josh Allen called

1107
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 10: Ty Johnson the best third down back in the league,

1108
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 10: and I think Ty Johnson proved this year he could

1109
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 10: be more than that. Johnson is fast, he's twitchy. He

1110
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 10: became a reliable target for Josh Allen on the ground

1111
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 10: and in the air.

1112
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 11: Down the stretch.

1113
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 10: Johnson was the guy they could go to who could

1114
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 10: get ten yards here, ten yards there. He had nice

1115
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 10: yak ability a running back averaged fifteen point eight yards

1116
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 10: per catch this season. Ty Johnson went from less than

1117
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 10: two hundred scrimmage yards last year to almost five hundred

1118
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 10: this year. He went from one touchdown last year to

1119
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 10: four this year. That's double the impact and you felt

1120
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 10: that on the field. I think going into this season,

1121
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 10: a lot of us thought he wasn't going to have

1122
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 10: a huge role on offense. But by the end of

1123
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 10: the season, he was a difference maker for Buffalo's offense.

1124
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and everybody's going to remember the Detroit game that

1125
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 2: our MSG viewers are watching right now. I mean, he

1126
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 2: was a huge part of the game plan and that's

1127
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 2: probably why we saw the production jump as much as

1128
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 2: we did, because this guy wasn't just a bit player anymore.

1129
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 2: He was he had a defined role and he was

1130
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 2: on the field a lot. But then to see, you know,

1131
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 2: Joe Brady use him as a primary part of the

1132
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 2: game plan against the highest scoring team in football, I

1133
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 2: think that really volumes as to the lengths that ty

1134
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 2: Johnson had gone to build trust with the coaching.

1135
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the trust is the big thing, not only from

1136
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, but also that Josh Josh came out

1137
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: and said he was you know, he's the best third

1138
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: down back in football, and you don't just say that.

1139
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's and that's why even at the end

1140
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs game when people were wondering where James

1141
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Cook was, you know, they got this guy on the

1142
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 1: field and that's they trust him, you know, in pass

1143
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 1: pro and in past receptions of course. So yeah, he

1144
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: is also indicative of the way this team played offensively,

1145
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: where you know, he's a backup running back there, and

1146
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, in one of the most important

1147
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: games out of nowhere, he comes in, he gets plugged in,

1148
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he's the engine, you know.

1149
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: And that happened to different guys throughout the year, but

1150
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: he was certainly a big surprise.

1151
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 11: All Right, we go to most improved, nowt most improved

1152
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 11: for me was our running back, James Cook. James Cook

1153
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 11: transformed as a running back season. He turned into a

1154
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 11: different type of player. He went for being a running.

1155
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 10: Back who had some nice catches here, had some nice

1156
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 10: runs there, to a running back who was physical, tough,

1157
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 10: and dependable. He could turn a small play into a

1158
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 10: huge play. Two rushing touchdowns last year to sixteen rushing

1159
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 10: touchdowns this year. That is massive growth. He leveled up

1160
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 10: as an athlete. He changed what Buffalo's offense could do,

1161
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 10: and he also changed how Buffalo's offense was defended. I

1162
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 10: think he is a running back who you could rely

1163
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 10: on when it came to the goal line type of

1164
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 10: situations or the down in distances where the Bills just

1165
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 10: needed a couple yards. Hey, hand it off to James

1166
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 10: Cook because he's gonna find a way to bully his

1167
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 10: way through the line and grab a few extra yards.

1168
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 10: The touchdown that he had against the Chiefs in the

1169
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 10: AFC Championship game, the Bills are down by seven in

1170
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 10: the fourth quarter, it's fourth and goal.

1171
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 11: You gotta have it. Cook turned into like a madman.

1172
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 11: Defenders trying to take him down. He was not having it.

1173
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 11: Slammed his arm into the end zone.

1174
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: For the score.

1175
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 10: I think that was the perfect reflection on who James

1176
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 10: Cook turned into as a running back. He was physical,

1177
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 10: he was rough, he was tough, and you saw that

1178
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 10: throughout these throughout the entire season.

1179
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 2: Full extension on that play was unbelievable. Fantastic effort by him,

1180
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 2: and look I think we always knew that he was

1181
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 2: great with his vision. You know, he was great with

1182
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 2: the accelerator, when to put the foot on the gas

1183
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 2: and scoot through a crack, when to wait for it

1184
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 2: to open up and then go. He was really good

1185
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 2: with his timing and his vision. Always has had that

1186
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 2: as part of his game. But I just think he

1187
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 2: kind of took it to another level this year, especially

1188
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 2: down in tight in the low red zone, and he

1189
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 2: had been campaigning for more touches down there because let's

1190
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 2: not forget last year Josh had fifteen rushing touchdowns and

1191
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 2: this year they gave the ball to Cook more often

1192
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 2: and he came through.

1193
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't disappoint. And it's huge too, because when

1194
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: you got a quarterback like Josh, you don't want him

1195
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: taking those that pounding. You know, Josh was at points

1196
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: in different points during his career has been put together

1197
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: with tape and band aids because he takes a pounding.

1198
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: He took a pound in particularly early in his career

1199
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: when he you know, the running, his running games, his

1200
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: call runs were a big part of the offense. James Cook.

1201
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you need a running back for,

1202
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 1: is so you don't have to put your quarterback in

1203
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: harm's way, and you got a running back with a

1204
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 1: nose for the goal line like cook As it's huge and.

1205
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 2: Credit he didn't miss any time.

1206
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: That's right.

1207
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 2: I mean, that's remarkably durable as well. Game breaker Award.

1208
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 10: I know you guys were talking about the fact that

1209
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 10: this defense doesn't have a game wrecker, and I would

1210
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 10: agree with that, but I think at points during this

1211
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 10: season we saw a game breaker, and that game breaker,

1212
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 10: to me was one of our linebackers, Terrell Bernard. I

1213
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 10: think he proved this season that at certain times, at

1214
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 10: certain points throughout the season, you could rely on Terrell

1215
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 10: Bernard to make a game changing play.

1216
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 11: He had a couple of those.

1217
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 10: I believe Bernard played bigger than six to one. He

1218
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 10: played tougher and harder than two hundred and twenty four pounds.

1219
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 10: He had that game ceiling interception on Patrick Mahomes with

1220
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 10: just over a minute to play in their week eleven

1221
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 10: win against the Chiefs that helped secure that victory, and

1222
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 10: then in the divisional round against the Ravens, Trel Bernard

1223
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 10: forced that huge fumble recovered it in the fourth quarter

1224
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 10: to help maintain Buffalo's lead.

1225
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 11: It ended up leading to a Buffalo Bill's field goal.

1226
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 10: He finishes with the second most tackles on the team,

1227
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 10: one hundred and four, and I think this season being

1228
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 10: named that second team captain alongside of Josh Allen, Terrell

1229
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 10: Bernard gained the complete trust of the defense this season

1230
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 10: with the way he led, and I'm excited for what's

1231
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 10: next for him when you look at next season. You

1232
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 10: talk to some of the defensive players in the postseason,

1233
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 10: and they talked about these speeches that Trell Bernard would

1234
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 10: give to the defense, to the team, something that I

1235
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 10: hadn't heard before about Trell Bernard. So to hear that

1236
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 10: he's turned into becoming quite the vocal leader inside the

1237
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 10: locker room, I think says a lot about you know

1238
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 10: what's next for this player both on and off the field.

1239
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had another good season. He was a big

1240
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 2: part of the whole takeaway parade we saw on defense.

1241
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1242
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 2: Well, not only had the pick in that game, he

1243
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 2: also had a sack of Mahomes because he was the

1244
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 2: spy a lot of the times, he and Milano are

1245
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 2: kind of switching off that role.

1246
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 10: Most promise, most promise, I'm going with Ray Davis as

1247
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 10: one of the players who has the most promise for

1248
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:44,720
Speaker 10: next season. Ray Davis has had an impressive rookie season.

1249
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 10: He's a running back who showcased the physicality that he

1250
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 10: adds to this offense. He's got good vision and also

1251
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 10: showcase that he can be a pass catching weapon for

1252
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 10: Josh Allen. Six thirty scrimmage yards, six touchdowns and a

1253
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 10: postseason touchdown on is what Ray Davis finished with.

1254
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 11: He also has some bursts to those legs as well.

1255
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 10: He's a twitchy guy with an NFL season under his

1256
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 10: belt and a better understanding of the offense as a whole.

1257
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 10: I think Davis can really blossom in year two as

1258
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 10: a difference maker on this team.

1259
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: I love the fact the guy's two twenty. He's a

1260
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: big dude, even though he's not very tall. He's put together,

1261
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: and that he used that to his advantage when he

1262
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: was running the bowl. His physicality, his vertical and downhill

1263
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: nature of running the football really was a compliment to

1264
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: this offense. I love the way he ran the ball.

1265
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the one game Cook missed Week six against

1266
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 2: the Jets, they come out on that first drive and

1267
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 2: it was like nine run plays one pass play and

1268
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:49,439
Speaker 2: he was motor motoring right through the chest of defensive backs.

1269
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 2: I remember one play Sauce Gardner. The first thing he

1270
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 2: landed on was his shoulder blades because he just put

1271
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 2: his shoulder into him drove him back like three yards.

1272
01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 2: It was a tone setting drive and Ray David was

1273
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 2: in the middle of it. I will that's what I

1274
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 2: remember most about his rookie. Remember that opening drive in

1275
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 2: the week's sixth game against the.

1276
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 11: Biggest Steal Biggest Steal.

1277
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 10: This might be an easy one for people, because if

1278
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 10: you reflect on what this player added to the roster

1279
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 10: this season, I think it's a lot more than what

1280
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,679
Speaker 10: happened on the field. Biggest Steal wide receiver Mac Hollins.

1281
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 10: You sign this dude to a one year deal, and

1282
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 10: what you got was much more than just being a

1283
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 10: piece to this offense. He was one of the most

1284
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 10: influential players in the locker room this season. He also

1285
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 10: led the team with six receiving touchdowns. It was a

1286
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 10: career high for Hollins. He turned into a reliable weapon

1287
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 10: for Josh Allen down the stretch. Hollins had those two

1288
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 10: huge catches of at least thirty yards in the AFC

1289
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 10: Championship game against the Chiefs. One was a touchdown, and

1290
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 10: one was on third and eight in the fourth quarter

1291
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 10: during a drive that led to a touchdown. I think

1292
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,560
Speaker 10: when you talk about all of those things, what he

1293
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 10: meant on and off the field of this team, that

1294
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 10: is the definition of a steal. You got him on

1295
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 10: a one year deal that wasn't worth a bunch of money,

1296
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 10: and I think the type of steel that he was,

1297
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 10: you look at, let's bring this guy back to this

1298
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 10: team because maybe he can do more in year two,

1299
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 10: both in and out of the locker room.

1300
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was. It was an amazing year by him.

1301
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: He was probably a biggest surprise for most people. A

1302
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:25,800
Speaker 1: guy who's been in the league as long as he had.

1303
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: He was eight year guy coming in and you know,

1304
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: nobody knew who he was. Yeah, and all of a

1305
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: sudden you got the contributions that nobody really expected. It

1306
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: was was really great.

1307
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 11: I mean the whole team like started not wearing shoes

1308
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 11: because of him. Like he had so much influence.

1309
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 2: Coaches weren't wearing shoes, right, Coaches not wearing shoes. It

1310
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 2: was he was very influential in a good way for

1311
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 2: this team and a glue guy, and I think the

1312
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 2: I think the offensive staff really not. I mean, I

1313
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 2: think everything you got in the receiving game was gravy

1314
01:09:58,640 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 2: him as a blocker in the run.

1315
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 4: That's true.

1316
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 2: He was dynamic and that's why I think he will

1317
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 2: be a high priority to get back in the fold. Okay,

1318
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 2: best play, best play?

1319
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 11: There were several plays.

1320
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 10: I wonder if you guys had a different one, because

1321
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 10: I would be I'd be eager to know which one

1322
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 10: that was best play?

1323
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 6: For me?

1324
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 10: Was that touchdown run that Josh Allen had on fourth

1325
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 10: and two against the Chiefs in Week eleven. It was

1326
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 10: a twenty six yard touchdown run. There's two minutes to

1327
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 10: play in this game.

1328
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 11: The touchdown extended.

1329
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 10: Their lead to nine and helped secure the victory. But

1330
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 10: just the way that Alan went about that play, I mean,

1331
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 10: you put your Superman cape on in that moment, you

1332
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 10: need two yards. Instead, Alan goes twenty six yards to

1333
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 10: the house. He put the team on his back in

1334
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 10: that moment.

1335
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 11: Weaving his way through defenders.

1336
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 10: And said, not today, Chiefs, not today. We are gonna

1337
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 10: be the team that wins this game, not you. I

1338
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 10: think it showcased Allan's athleticism as a quarterback. It's the

1339
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 10: perfect example of why he deserves the MVP. Not a

1340
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 10: lot of quarterbacks can do what Allen does in this league.

1341
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 11: And I think it also was.

1342
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 10: The best play because I reflect on what where they

1343
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 10: were at in the season at that point. Once they

1344
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:18,799
Speaker 10: won that game, it was they had won six straight games.

1345
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 10: After that win, they were riding high before the bye week.

1346
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 11: They were on top of the world.

1347
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 10: After you beat the defending Super Bowl champions, And I

1348
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,600
Speaker 10: think after that win, you.

1349
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 11: Really looked around and thought, man, this team can do it.

1350
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 11: This team can go all the way.

1351
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 10: Look at the way they put together this game plan

1352
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 10: to beat the Chiefs. It was there was just so

1353
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 10: much positivity and I think so much hope and belief

1354
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 10: in the team.

1355
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 11: At that point in the season.

1356
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 2: They were the only team that beat the Chiefs. Yeah, yeah,

1357
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:49,679
Speaker 2: they were unbeaten game by nine.

1358
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: That's when you thought, yeah, they've got a shot at it.

1359
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:56,599
Speaker 1: And and the play by Josh was really that. It's

1360
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: the first time I think they were winning game. There

1361
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: was in the midst of the thirty point scoring thirty

1362
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: points a game streak, and they had played the Colts

1363
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins, who were struggling in the Seahawks, and

1364
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: they crushed the Titans, and they crushed Jacksonville and all

1365
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: these teams and and this was a really good football

1366
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: team and they beat them by nine and they looked

1367
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 1: good doing it. Yeah, you're right, that was that play

1368
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: really typified and they knew they needed to be up

1369
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: by that many in the last couple of minutes game

1370
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: because she had they were going to get the ball again,

1371
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 1: and yeah, it was a it was they needed a touchdown.

1372
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: They went down and got a touchdown and on the

1373
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 1: most impressive play ever. So yeah, I was, I was

1374
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 1: thinking about other plays, but you guys have any other ones.

1375
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 2: The only other one would be the pylon run by

1376
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 2: Josh on the lateral from Amari. But this play cat

1377
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 2: Refrancis play carried far more weight. Yeah, because the game

1378
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 2: was literally on the line. Coach mcdermotal x to go

1379
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 2: for it, not kick a field goal to go up

1380
01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 2: by five, So there was more significance to this play

1381
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 2: for sure. All right, best comeback to wrap it up.

1382
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 11: Best comeback Matt Milano. Boy, oh boy, did he have

1383
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 11: a tough couple of seasons.

1384
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 10: You have a super tough training camp, because you enter

1385
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 10: training camp thinking, all right, I'm back from this leg

1386
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 10: injury where I was out the final twelve games of

1387
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 10: the twenty twenty three season, and then soon enough he's

1388
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 10: knocked out with the torn left bicep. Misses about thirteen

1389
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 10: months of playing football games. Not easy to miss that

1390
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 10: much time on an injury where you look at the leg,

1391
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 10: your sidelined for quite some time in terms of doing

1392
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 10: leg movements, getting your legs muscular, and then you finish

1393
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 10: that and then another part of your body is out

1394
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 10: for a good amount of time. He finally comes back

1395
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 10: in Week fourteen against the Rams, and then you start

1396
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 10: to see as the season started to close out, you

1397
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 10: start to see the.

1398
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 11: Real Matt Milano show up. The Matt Milano that lays.

1399
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,439
Speaker 10: The hard hits, that can anticipate and read what a

1400
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 10: quarterback is doing, and a Matt Milano who likes Rel Bernard,

1401
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 10: can make game changing plays. I'm excited for Milano next

1402
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 10: year because he's finally got an off season where he's

1403
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:10,839
Speaker 10: not worried about rehabbing an injury.

1404
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 1: That's right, and yeah, they he is. He's one of

1405
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: those guys you the type of guy you really love

1406
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: to have on your defense because he shows up, yeah,

1407
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, and he makes big plays and he's always

1408
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 1: where he needs to be. The play he made this

1409
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: year that I think I'll remember more than the other

1410
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 1: was when bow Knicks in the playoff game was trying

1411
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: to get to the edge and Matt ran him down

1412
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: and kept him short of the first down. It was

1413
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 1: huge play. Well, yeah, that's a Milano and that's a

1414
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: Milana play this one. We're looking at it right here.

1415
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 1: And he came from inside and was spying bow Knicks

1416
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: and Nix is a guy who outruns a lot of people.

1417
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: We said it on the way in. He can run,

1418
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 1: he's a fast quarterback and Milano got I mean, I

1419
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,600
Speaker 1: think it caught Nicks off guard because he thought he

1420
01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 1: had it and he was there, all of a sudden

1421
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: he didn't. And that was That was the I think

1422
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: of the play of the season for Milano as far

1423
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned. It was it came in a playoff

1424
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:07,719
Speaker 1: game in a huge moment.

1425
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 2: All right, So some some pretty good ones. I like

1426
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 2: those for year ending Maddie Awards. Thanks for doing it, Maddie.

01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 2: go back to the phones where I get some people

1450
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,639
Speaker 2: waiting patiently, like Greg in Hamburg, what do you got fir.

1451
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 8: Ust Greg Tony, Guys, it was first time caller. I'm

1452
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 8: a longtime listener.

1453
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 2: Thanks for doing it.

1454
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:30,719
Speaker 8: I was I was thinking about a tribute to Josh

1455
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 8: for winning MVP tomorrow. I think a good tribute was I.

1456
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 8: I drive by the stadium every day. I take a

1457
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,560
Speaker 8: friend of mine to work on California Road. Okay, I

1458
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 8: see the big mountain of dirt there. I think we

1459
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 8: should get someone to climb the top of that with

1460
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 8: big flag that says Mount Saint Allen, home of the

1461
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 8: Buffalo Bills. What do you guys think?

1462
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 2: Oh, Greg, I don't know what to think.

1463
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 8: Is that a good win or what?

1464
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 2: That caught me a little off guard. I'm not gonna

1465
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 2: lie and thanks for the call.

1466
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: Josh wins MVP. You can do better than that flag

1467
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 1: on top of a pilot dirt.

1468
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 2: I think we can do better than that.

1469
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can do better than that. We may have

1470
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: to talk about that the entire show tomorrow about the MVP.

1471
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, the NFL Honors shows tomorrow night. He may not

1472
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:16,879
Speaker 2: win it any I'm not optimistic.

1473
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: I'm not optimistic either because they gave Lamar what was

1474
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: all pro or whatever.

1475
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 2: It's the same voters so I'm yeah, first team All Pro.

1476
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I might have to do some we have

1477
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: to do some digging and go back into the stats

1478
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 1: and look at both and compare.

1479
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I mean, look, they both set certain

1480
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 2: records this year in terms of personal statistics. The thing

1481
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 2: that you know, Josh can hang his hat on. He's

1482
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:45,839
Speaker 2: the first quarterback in NFL history with a passing touchdown,

1483
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 2: a rushing touchdown and receiving touchdown in the same game,

1484
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 2: first player to have three rushing first player to have

1485
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:54,840
Speaker 2: three rushing touchdowns and three passing touchdowns in the same game.

1486
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 2: And then he did twenty five passing, ten rushing, one

1487
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 2: receiving in a season and led the first team to

1488
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 2: ever have thirty passing and thirty rushing touchdowns in the

1489
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:08,560
Speaker 2: same season. But then you go to Lamar and he

1490
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 2: has almost as many.

1491
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 4: I know.

1492
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 2: The big feather in Lamar's cap is he led the

1493
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,640
Speaker 2: league in yards per carry average and in yards per

1494
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:20,719
Speaker 2: pass attempt. Both he led the league. And that's counting

1495
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 2: running backs like sa Kuon Barkley, who had a monster

1496
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 2: season and his own teammate Derrick Henry, and he had

1497
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 2: a bunch of other ones too, I'm trying to find

1498
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 2: him real quick, but he was the first player let

1499
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:35,640
Speaker 2: me see here it is, I got it right here,

1500
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 2: first player in NFL history with forty or more passing

1501
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 2: touchdowns and six hundred or more rushing yards in the

1502
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 2: same season. I mean he had forty one passing touchdowns,

1503
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 2: nine hundred and fifteen rushing yards. I mean he almost

1504
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 2: rushed for one thousand and through for forty one. That's

1505
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 2: pretty stupid. He's the first player with four thousand pass yards,

1506
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 2: eight hundred rush yards in the same season forty one

1507
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 2: and four touchdowns to interceptions, so it's the highest by

1508
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 2: any quarterback in a season with thirty plus passing touchdowns

1509
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 2: the touchdown interception ratio which was ten point three. So

1510
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,720
Speaker 2: he's got a few feathers in his cap too. And

1511
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 2: as I said, first player in NFL history to lead

1512
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 2: the NFL in yards per past attempt and yards per carry,

1513
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 2: like first to ever have it that high. So he's

1514
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 2: got credentials, I guess, is the point I'm trying to make.

1515
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:30,719
Speaker 2: And clearly most of the AP voters were more impressed

1516
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 2: with him, which is why he got first team All

1517
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 2: Pro and Josh got second team and that's usually an

1518
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 2: indicator as to how the.

1519
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,640
Speaker 1: MVP espvirtually the same guys who vote for both. So

1520
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: here you go.

1521
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:45,799
Speaker 2: Let's go to Ryan in Toronto next. What's up, Ryan, Christine?

1522
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 12: I love this topic of the ASA watch party, the

1523
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 12: way we do it. I mean a twelve man fantas league.

1524
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 12: The loser of last season passed the host, yes, and

1525
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 12: then the show up and that person who does the

1526
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 12: show up, the person who's posting it. We'll get the

1527
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 12: number one pick in the policy season season that draft

1528
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 12: picks a must. It's more of a commitment, and to

1529
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:15,640
Speaker 12: be honest, we had more punishment. But again we we

1530
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 12: used to have these guys losers go treat out treating,

1531
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 12: you know, on the day before halloweeno day after. You know,

1532
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 12: we've got a lot of trouble. So now we decided

1533
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 12: to do it instead.

1534
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 1: That's great. I love so the loser. The loser hosts

1535
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 1: the super Bowl party and the last guy to show

1536
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:33,639
Speaker 1: up loses his first round draft pick?

1537
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 4: Is that?

1538
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 1: What I know?

1539
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 2: If he does? If anyone from the league doesn't show

1540
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 2: up to the party they host.

1541
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 4: Get host, get the number one draft pick.

1542
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, if they don't show up. Wow, So yeah, I

1543
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 2: like I like the commitment of that league, right, I

1544
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 2: like it.

1545
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 1: I like it. I like where your head's at. And

1546
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: you gotta, yeah, you gotta have some skin in the

1547
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:53,960
Speaker 1: game to care. And I know that too. Everybody's got

1548
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,519
Speaker 1: Super Bowl uh grids and Super Bowl squares and all

1549
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 1: that stuff. They do that a lot. The gaming community

1550
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: does a huge amount of prop bets on the Super

1551
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: Bowl because there's so many things you can count on.

1552
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,600
Speaker 1: The anthem. They're all usually have a warm up to

1553
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: the anthem, like somebody sings God Bless America. They have

1554
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, the length of the anthem, the coin flip,

1555
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:19,640
Speaker 1: oh yeah, the kickoff, the ends of the field, the

1556
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: whole thing. Who scores first, who scores the first, all

1557
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 1: that stuff, and it's it's fun. It's fun. And and

1558
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 1: I know this too, that Bills. There's a lot of

1559
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,719
Speaker 1: people that are bitter about the way the AFC Championship

1560
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:37,599
Speaker 1: game went, and for all the reasons the officials aside,

1561
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: and but for a guy like me, and obviously for

1562
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 1: me and Brownie, I mean, we're I'm gonna watch it. Yeah,

1563
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 1: it is a you gotta acknowledge that for whatever warts

1564
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,639
Speaker 1: their record has, the chiefs are going for something that's

1565
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 1: never been done before. And we sit here and we

1566
01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: still talk about the nineteen seventy two Dolphins and how

1567
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 1: they won two row and couldn't get back to the third,

1568
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies Pittsburgh Steelers that went to two in

1569
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: a row, then were out for two in a row,

1570
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 1: then came back and won two in a row. You're

1571
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: talking about the Buffalo Bills who went to four straight

1572
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 1: and couldn't win any of them. For the forty nine

1573
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 1: Ers who did that, had that run, the Cowboys who

1574
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 1: won two then missed in an a NFC championship game

1575
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 1: the next year, and then went back to and one

1576
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 1: a third, So they went three out of four. Nobody's

1577
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 1: ever gone to three in a row and won them.

1578
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 1: And so it's uh, it's a It's a point in

1579
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 1: NFL history that is big for that reason. And I'm

1580
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 1: willing to tip my hat to Andy as I've had

1581
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: interactions with Andy over the years as a as an

1582
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,799
Speaker 1: analyst for the for CBS and stuff. It's the sweetheart

1583
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: of a guy. He's hard not to root for when

1584
01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: you meet him and you have an interpersonal conversation with him.

1585
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 1: His players love him and for you know, everything that

1586
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: he went through in Philly and his early the early

1587
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 1: part of his career to come back and have this

1588
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 1: kind of six says, you gotta tip your hat, as

1589
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: begrudgingly as it may be for some Bill's face. You

1590
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 1: got to tip your hat to the guy. What a

1591
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: run these two guys are on. Andy Reid saw something

1592
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 1: in Pat Mahomes nobody else saw. He can say whatever

1593
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: they want now. Everybody passed on Pat Mahomes, including the

1594
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: Bills and ten people ahead of them in the draft.

1595
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 1: Everybody thought Pat was kind of a quirky dude, and

1596
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 1: Andy Reid saw something, and of course then he brought

1597
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 1: it out of him and surrounded him and wouldn't think

1598
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: about this. Andy Reid would not let Pat Mahomes start

1599
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 1: a game as a rookie. He had Alex Smith, who

1600
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 1: was no slow, who was a great player in his

1601
01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 1: own right. But Mahomes never started a game as a

1602
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: rookie until the final game of the regular season when

1603
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: they were headed of the playoffs, and then they got

1604
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 1: rid of Alex Smith and they put him in. He's

1605
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:49,719
Speaker 1: been a starter ever since, and it's been on record

1606
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: pace since. Tip your hat to him they're fantastic football club.

1607
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:59,200
Speaker 1: Starts with Andy, goes through Pat, and Travis has been

1608
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 1: a huge beneficial area of all that's going on around him.

1609
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:05,920
Speaker 1: And you know, we're gonna witness something here, whether it's

1610
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: his it's history one way or the other. But it's

1611
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 1: a special group and you know, as begrudgingly as Bills fans,

1612
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:18,640
Speaker 1: and they have every reason to be bitter if you can,

1613
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:20,880
Speaker 1: if you can swallow your pride and your and you're

1614
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 1: discussed for just two seconds and tip your hat to him,

1615
01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 1: because in the big picture, they didn't. They're just doing

1616
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 1: their best. They they have nothing to do with the

1617
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: officials or anything out of the narrative that goes on

1618
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: outside of them. They're just trying to do their best

1619
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 1: and and they've been really good at it.

1620
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones into Mark in Stockton next.

1621
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 2: What's up Mark?

1622
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, how you doing good? I just don't want

1623
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 13: to see the Super Bowl? And like the last time

1624
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 13: Philly and the Chiefs played member at an uncatchable ball

1625
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 13: and they gave them the penalty for a tickie tag call,

1626
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,479
Speaker 13: It's like, come on, we all had to walk out

1627
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:57,799
Speaker 13: the games over the best game in the world highest

1628
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 13: scoring super Bowls over or a these cheap calls. You know,

1629
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 13: it's like I don't mind, I don't mind you know,

1630
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 13: changing the rules like taking out the chain gang. But man,

1631
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 13: I sat there watching that Josh Allen fourth down going

1632
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 13: I wish they had the change still. You know, let's

1633
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 13: get a measurement. One official says yes, the other official

1634
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 13: says no, this is why we had chains to begin with.

1635
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 13: And then you look at that incomplete pass. I mean,

1636
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 13: neither player had control of it hit the ground. And

1637
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 13: then they go back to New York and the officials

1638
01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 13: come up with the same dumb call. I'm not talking.

1639
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 13: You can't fix stupid. It's like the Forrest Gump League.

1640
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 13: Stupid is as stupid does. It's officiating has got to

1641
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,519
Speaker 13: get better. They should have full time officials and review

1642
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 13: them and and let's do it right.

1643
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 8: Guys.

1644
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 13: You know, it's not cheating, it's not rigged. It's just

1645
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 13: people make mistakes at game speed. These things, these players

1646
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 13: are fast. Let's get down to it and let's do

1647
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:00,560
Speaker 13: it right. Let's make it, improve it and ruin it.

1648
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 2: I'll say this, guy, let's.

1649
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 1: Go appreciate it. I'll say this to the officially get

1650
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 1: a bad refort because they're you know, people say they're

1651
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: not full time. Listen to a lot of them are.

1652
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 1: A lot of them are. There's more and more officials

1653
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 1: that are full time than everything. They're not all yet,

1654
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 1: but they're getting there. And so that you know, it's

1655
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 1: it's one of those issues I talk about all the time.

1656
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 1: The league's gonna get it right. And I don't even

1657
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 1: remember the Philly case play you're talking about the untouchable path.

1658
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't remember it.

1659
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 2: So at the end of the game when the Eagles

1660
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 2: had the ball, I guess down.

1661
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't remember it. So that's that says a lot

1662
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 1: about it. If it was a ticky tack call, it

1663
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 1: just falls into what we've been saying. If it's a

1664
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: close game, the officials are forced to enforce the rules,

1665
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 1: and if if it goes the way you don't want

1666
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:48,479
Speaker 1: it to go, everybody's half the people are going to

1667
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 1: be unhappy. And if it is a penalty, ticky tack

1668
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 1: or not call it. Yeah, and if it's not a penalty,

1669
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 1: don't call it. And we got it and we'll live

1670
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: with that. But don't call a penalty that doesn't happen.

1671
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: Don't make one up. And you know, as we're sitting

1672
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: in this day, in this point in history, let's get

1673
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:08,240
Speaker 1: the spot right. Please.

1674
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotta take a break here, but when we come back,

1675
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 2: we'll try to squeeze a phone call in and get

1676
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 2: some final thoughts on the tweet sheet here on One

1677
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:31,680
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. Stay with us all right back here on

1678
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:34,200
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker one segment to go.

1679
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 2: Don't have enough time to take any more phone calls,

1680
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:38,560
Speaker 2: so apologize for that. But a couple of comments on

1681
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:40,839
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet here brought to by Corgan Moving Systems,

1682
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 2: the official equipment moving company in the Buffalo Bills. How

1683
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 2: do you feel about watching this year's Super Bowl and why?

1684

1686
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 2: Vipers says I've seen every Super Bowl, but won't watch

1687
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:03,040
Speaker 2: this one. Disgusted by the officiating in the AFC Championship game,

1688
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 2: Tim says it's a Super Bowl. I'd watch Saints versus Jets.

1689
01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:10,680
Speaker 2: Never a good game flow because of all the commercials,

1690
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 2: but mandatory viewing. RJ says, only going to periodically monitor

1691
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:18,479
Speaker 2: the score to see how I'm doing with my football

1692
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 2: pool squares. Jacob says, at peace with the Bills being

1693
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 2: out of it, Excited about the Bills making their own

1694
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,479
Speaker 2: Super Bowl run. Alan is equal to Mahomes another year

1695
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 2: of offense and defensive coordinator stability. Need our own Chris

1696
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 2: Jones type playmaker, and Bills will be playing San Fran

1697

1702
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:47,640
Speaker 2: but I'm watching for a selfish reason. I've seen all

1703
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 2: fifty eight of them up to now, and I don't

1704

1708
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,320
Speaker 2: is the first time that I can remember not wanting

1709

Speaker 2: to watch it. Between what happened with the Chiefs and

1710
