Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live, presented by Callida Health.

2
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome to a Thursday edition of One Bill's Live.

3
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday Season's greetings. As we inch closer

4
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: to Christmas weekend, I'm trying to remember the last time,

5
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: and I guess with a leap year mixed in, we

6
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: can probably figure it out. But I'm not doing that

7
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: live on the fly on the radio. But it's like

8
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: been a while since Christmas was on the weekend, you

9
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, yeah.

10
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 3: You got to rotate through.

11
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: Next year is a leap year, so I think Christmas

12
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: is moving from Sunday to a Wednesday with some freaky

13
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: movement of the calendar here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it doesn't

14
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: go to Monday next year.

15
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: You got a leap year.

16
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: And then I don't know what else is in there,

17
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: but it randomly anything else. I don't know how it

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: gets moved to a Wednesday from a Sunday.

19
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: Maybe it's Tuesday.

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 4: Tuesday gotta be Tuesday. Yeah, but yeah, I'm gonna it's good.

21
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: This is good because with the Bills playing on Saturday. Sorry,

22
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: Christmas is a Monday.

23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 4: Christmas is a Monday.

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 3: That's why it's Wednesday. Wednesday next year Monday this year.

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: Uh, let's you know what, I'm still in the mode

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: of the Bills are playing Sunday, folks.

27
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: Brownie is I am so mess Downie has been off

28
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 4: his rocker all week because it has been a compressed

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 4: week by one day, like Taco For us, Taco Thursday

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: was actually Taco Wednesday this week.

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: That's right.

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 4: Everything was out of kilters the world. Cat's sleeping, not

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: dogs everything.

34
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: Not that the Taco Day coming one day early is

35
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: a bad thing, by right. The only thing better than

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: talk is waiting.

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: The only thing talk better than Taco Thursday is Taco Wednesday. Okay,

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 4: So Brownie is off his rocker because and I can.

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: I can relate because he's got to do.

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: You get into routine.

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 4: We are creatures of habit, and so this one less

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: day and having everything compressed and now today is not

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: It's if you think about the game being on Sunday

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: but announced a Saturday. But so that makes Saturday of

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: Friday and Friday at Thursday, and we are really discombobulated.

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 4: And Brownie is the poster child for that this week.

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: But you know, so I am woefully behind here.

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: Sochsmas so christ and we got off on Christmas Christmas

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,920

67
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 4: Christmas when you're in the football season and the Christmas season,

68
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 4: and always you always have that tension of how it's

69
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: gonna fall, what's gonna happen now? And also personally, you know,

70
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: with all the we have all five of I'm an

71
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,040

00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: of my kids are married, so we got the in

73
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: law outlaw kind of thing that is. Yeah, right, So

74
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: so they're like to use that right. So they're either

75
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 4: with us for a holiday or none of them are

76
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: with us for a holiday. So we're still in this

77
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: nothing never No year is ever the same when the

78
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: kids are growing up. Every year is the great. It's

79
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: a tradition. You do this every year, You do that

80
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: every year. Now it's like nothing is ever the same

81
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 4: for us on the holiday. So I'm a little bit disoriented.

82
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: You're flumming.

83
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: Plus, you know, Christmas on a Monday, the game is

84
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: on a Saturday.

85
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: So it's a really funky year this year. Yeah, funky

86
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: year it is.

87
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's strange for sure. And as I've told you before,

88
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: I am not a long range planner in any sense

89
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: of the word. Like if I have stuff planned two

90
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: days in advance, that is a that is a major

91
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: victory for me. So yeah, I'm undoubtedly going to be

92
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: in scramble mode after the show.

93
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: Today.

94
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 2: We are talking with you about a number of things

95
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: here on a Thursday edition of One Bills live and

96
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: as you know, we have every Thursday the Ultimate Fantasy Lineup,

97
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: which is presented by FanDuel and by our good friend

98
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: espn NFL insider field Yates. So he'll be joining us

99
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: in about twenty five minutes from now to give us

100
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: the week sixteen lineup. And I will tell you, for

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: the fantasy football players that play season long fantasy, if

102
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: you've been knocked out of the playoffs and you've never

103
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 2: tried daily fantasy before, this is your opportunity to do

104
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: so because that season is still running strong. So even

105
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: if your season team, season long fantasy league team has

106
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: been bounced from the playoffs unceremoniously, daily fantasy is an

107
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: option for you. And it would be who of you

108
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: to pay attention to the picks from one field the eights.

109
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: Who let me just say this, he jumped on the

110
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: backup quarterback train this week and we'll talk to him

111
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: about it when he's on at about twenty five minutes time. Yeah,

112
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: thank with so many backup quarterbacks, yeah playing right now?

113
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: You pick the right one.

114
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, catch lightning in a bottle loom diggity, do it

115
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: at a cheap cost, you know that kind of thing.

116
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 4: I'll say this though to me, and I'm I couldn't

117
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: be more of an old head when this comes to

118
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 4: this stuff, right, because it's.

119
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: The fantasy playoffs.

120
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, going with deliberately buying a backup quarterback for a

121
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: playoffs is absolutely counterintuitive to me. It makes me makes

122
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: me nauseous.

123
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,880

148
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: put a in a separate room somewhere, either with an

149
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: iPad a smaller television preemptive strike, you know, make arrangements

150
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: before they arrive and say.

151
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: Hey, look we set up this separate room for you

152
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: so you could watch your dance program.

153
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: In the broom closet.

154
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: I'm not saying banish them to the broom closet, but

155
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: make plans because yeah, you got it.

156
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 4: And here's the thing. One of the general rules we

157
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 4: always come up with in this Relationship Hotline thing is

158
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: you've got to start early. Get your throw out the

159
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 4: the game is on that day. If you want to

160
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 4: watch the game, we're gonna we got some plans. We're

161
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: gonna have to make you know, adjustments for that that.

162
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: You got to get that out there, public proclamation.

163
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: Public proclamations to the entire family about how that's gonna

164
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 4: be handled the way you want it to be handled.

165
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: Be ready to compromise, though you don't. You don't need

166
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 4: to be, you know, a donkey about.

167
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: It, but you gotta get out there early yet to

168
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: get you Also have Monday night football Christmas Night, and

169
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: that is Ravens Niners.

170
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 4: And you don't miss that game.

171
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm you know what I mean, So plan

172
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: your holiday according Dallas, Miami is on this, which is

173
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: enormous implications and interest Bills fans because of the game

174
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: we just did against the Cowboys and what we'd like

175
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: to see happen to the Dolphins hugely.

176
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 4: Important of great interest, I think.

177
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: Are which incidentally brings me to this Steve uh Our

178
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: playoff scenario guru, who is our department head to find

179
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: Jeff Matthews did inform us today because he's always crunching

180
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: this stuff before any of us are, and that stuff

181
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: makes my head hurt. If the Bills win this week

182
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: and Jacksonville loses, the Bills control their own destiny for

183
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: a playoff spot.

184
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: Which means they got to win out.

185
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: Well, yes, assuming they continue to well, yes, they control

186
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: their own destiny.

187
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: They win their last two games, they're in right.

188
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 4: And here's the thing too though, I mean they not mathematically,

189
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: but in large measure, they do that. Now, if they

190
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 4: win out now, it's ninety nine point ninety nine thousand

191
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 4: percent that they're gonna make it or something like that.

192
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 4: So you got to think get into eleven wins almost

193
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 4: always gets you in. Plus every weekend we get closer.

194
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: This weekend in particular, is going to take other teams

195
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 4: out of it. They're gonna move behind you. So if

196
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 4: you keep winning and a couple of the other teams

197
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 4: move out of the way, all of a sudden, you're

198
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: the seven seed anyway. So yeah, so that's possible, but

199
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 4: you gotta win. Absolutely, got to win.

200
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: In case you're wondering who the Jaguars are playing this week,

201
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: they're going across the state to play at Tampa. And

202
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 2: the Bucks very quietly have won six three in a

203
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: row to zoom to the top of the horribly average

204
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: NFC South.

205
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: They've won four out of their last six too, you know,

206
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: and Baker Mayfield, well, I hate to say that because

207
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: he played really well this last week in a close

208
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: win thirty four to twe well a big win over

209
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: over Green Bay thirty four to twenty in Green Bay.

210
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 4: So I'm pretty sure Baker Mayfield is going to come

211
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 4: back to the mean this week.

212
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: But they are atop the NFC South and they've got

213
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: a lot to play for because they're ahead of the

214
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: Saints on tiebreaker right now, who are also seven and

215
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: seven in the NFC South, and the Falcons are only

216
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: a game behind at six and eight. I mean, the

217
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: only team you don't have to worry about in that

218
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: division of the Panthers, who are two and twelve. So

219
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: there are three teams separated by a single game. So

220
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 2: there's going to be plenty a motivation for the Bucks

221
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: this week as they host the eight and six Jaguars.

222
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: So again, yeah, yeah, Bills win, Jags lose. Buffalo controls

223
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: their own destiny assuming they keep winning, and they don't

224
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: need any help from anybody as far as just getting

225
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. The division is another thing entire.

226
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 4: No questiona. Tampa Bay's got to be highly motivated in

227
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: this game. There the nine and ten seed in the

228
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 4: NFC are New Orleans and Atlanta right behind them, so

229
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 4: they are they're pushing hard, although Atlanta seems to be

230
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 4: wobbling on its last leg at six and eight. New

231
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 4: Orleans is seven to seven right there, so it's going

232
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 4: to be right down to the wire.

233
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 2: There are some roster items to bring you up to

234
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: speed on and these bills practice updates are presented by

235
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: LEECOM your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. And the

236
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: first is a player that has been moved off the

237
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: active roster. That would be Jordan Phillips, who earlier this

238
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: week underwent risk surgery. They weren't sure at the outset

239
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: on whether they would place him on injured reserve, knowing

240
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: it would mean he would miss four games minimum, So

241
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 2: that decision, though, was made and a lot of people

242
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: seeing a defensive tackle going to IR are assuming, oh,

243
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: does this mean Daikwan Jones will be playing this weekend?

244
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: Coach McDermott said earlier this week that is unlikely to happen.

245
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: But what this has done is it has created an

246
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: open spot on the fifty three man roster because as

247
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: of right now, Daikwon Jones remains on IR. He has

248
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: not been activated off the injured reserve list. But another

249
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: player who could come off the injured reserve list this

250
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: week to take that roster spot is kayr Elam. The

251
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: Bills have to make a decision on kye Elam by

252
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: next Wednesday, that is the close of his twenty one

253
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: day practice window while on injured reserve. If they determine

254
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: we're not going to put him on the act roster

255
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: elim season is over, he finishes it on injured reserve,

256
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 2: but if they activate him and use the open roster

257
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: spot to bring him off of IRN onto the active roster,

258
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: obviously he's available to play on Saturday, So it'll be

259
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: interesting to see who they choose to fill that roster spot.

260
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: And then if they feel their short handed at defensive tackle, well,

261
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: I don't know that they necessarily do, because you still

262
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: have poona Ford who has been inactive for the last

263
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: five or six weeks. You have him as an option

264
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: to fill in at Jordan Phillips spot, and you still

265
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: have ed Oliver, Lynn, Val Joseph and Tim Settle.

266
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 3: So you've got four you can run with this week.

267
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 3: You don't necessarily have to add there.

268
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, but I don't know if you really want

269
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: to go particularly since aj Apanessa's not in Certainly they've

270
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 4: moved Greg Grusso down inside in a pain. But if

271
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 4: you get into a pinch with three defensive tackles, there

272
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: are no more rotation going on.

273
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 2: Well there, what you can do there is you can

274
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: call up Ilianku from the practice squad for the games.

275
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but you gotta have a spot on the

276
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 4: roster for him, which means somebody else has to say

277
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: somebody's got to sit down. And here's the the only

278
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 4: reason I bring this up is because if now that

279
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 4: Jordan Phillips is on IR and you got a spot, well,

280
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 4: if you're gonna replace him with a corner, you're full again, right,

281
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 4: and you're and you don't have any space even to

282
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 4: bring you know, any of these got poon Afford up, right,

283
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: so that you're gonna go with three defensive tackles, Well, no.

284
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: You've got four.

285
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: Active because you have poon Afford, Tim Settle, yeah, okay,

286
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: Ed Oliver, right, okay, Yeah, So you just popped him

287
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: into that spot and.

288
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 3: You've got four.

289
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 4: I thought Poona was inactive.

290
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: Wells and he's on the active roster. He's just been

291
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: inactive every week. Yeah, so you have four? Sure, you

292
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: should be okay there. And then the other thing was

293
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: coach McDermott this morning al already all already ruled Micah

294
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: Hyde out for Saturday's game due to his next stinger,

295
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: which has been a recurring problem unfortunately, so coach McDermott said,

296
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,479
Speaker 2: it's not looking like he's.

297
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: Going to make it.

298
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: And he's been wearing a red non contact jersey all

299
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: week along with a host of other players. So it's

300
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: going to be very interesting to see what the Friday

301
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: injury report whole or well, it's essentially the Friday injury

302
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: report here on Thursday. You know, with the game being

303
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: on Saturday, everything's accelerated a day. I can't wait till

304
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: this week is over and we get back to Sunday games.

305
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: It's going to make my life so much yise.

306
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: But my brain cannot process this. It is like one

307
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: day difference. And I don't know why it's such a

308
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: heavy lift for my nogin right now, but it is.

309
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: But you see the practice participation for our MSG viewers

310
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: and a lot of players have been limited all week.

311
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: Those are aj epinessa who Coach McDermott said, I'm not

312
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: sure he's going to make it to Saturday's game. He's

313
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: got a rib injury, and then there were a host

314
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: of a players limited as well, including players like Ty

315
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: Johnson who came out of last week's game with a

316
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: shoulder problem, among others. The good news is James Cook,

317
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: who missed yesterday's practice due to illness, was back practicing today.

318
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: We'll find out when the injury report comes out later

319
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: this afternoon if he was a full participant, limited participant, etc.

320
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: So that's kind of the nuts and bolts of the

321
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: injury report for the Bills. The other interesting thing on

322
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: the Chargers side of the ledger is Keenan Allen has

323
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: not yet practiced this week. He missed last week's game

324
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: with a heel injury. He is still dealing with that

325
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: heel injury and did not practice on Tuesday, did not

326
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: practice on Wednesday.

327
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: We'll have to see.

328
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: Knowing their three hours behind, we probably won't find out

329
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: until we are off the air, but he is not practicing,

330
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: along with a starting corner Dean Leonard, has not practiced

331
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: at all this week either, and he also has a

332
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: heel injury. So two starters for the Chargers not looking

333
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 2: great for Saturday's game. We'll see if something dramatically changes

334
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: here today. But Keenan Allen, guy leads the league in

335
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 2: receptions with one hundred.

336
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 4: And eight and he didn't play last week, and he didn't.

337
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 3: Play last week. Yeah, and he still leads the league.

338
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 3: So that would be.

339
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 4: I'll say this due don't think you're gonna get a

340
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 4: break because he didn't practice all week. Well, right, that

341
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 4: guy's if he can play and he feels one hundred percent,

342
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 4: he will crush you. With a week off, no practice,

343
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 4: he's gonna and he didn't. Well, it's not like he

344
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: needs to learn to play. It's good grief. The guy's

345
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: gonna come back fresh as a daisy after a week off.

346
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 4: So don't think you're gonna get you know, some Keenan

347
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 4: Allen light version of himself. They're because you got to

348
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 4: backup quarterbacks do nothing.

349
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 3: I've heard him.

350
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: I've heard multiple double digit backup quarterbacks talking about when

351
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 4: they got in and what it was like, and all

352
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: of them say the same thing. This guy was playing well,

353
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 4: and I threw it to him every chance I could.

354
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 4: That's exactly what's gonna happen with Eastern Stick and Keenan Allen.

355
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: He will not look at anybody else.

356
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 4: If if Keenan Allen plays, mark my words, that guy's

357
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 4: gonna go off because Eastern Stick will not look at

358
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: another guy.

359
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: Okay, that's the way they that's the way they think. Bro.

360
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 4: I'm telling you now, I'm talking about and I'm I'm

361
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 4: sitting here with a beer at the corner of the bar.

362
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 2: But.

363
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I'm telling you that's I've heard so

364
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 4: many quarterbacks say that exact thing when they finally got

365
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 4: in the game, when they.

366
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: Got a chance to play, he goes, Hey, this guy,

367
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: that's why.

368
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: That's why when like when Fitz would get into games

369
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 4: and they'd be injuries and stuff and one of the

370
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 4: backup receivers would get in, Well, Fitz was thrown to

371
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: the guy all through practice. If he goes, I knew

372
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 4: what the guy was gonna do, I'd throw it to

373
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 4: him all the time. You hear it all the time

374
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 4: with quarterbacks. If Eastern Stick gets in, he's gonna say, listen,

375
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 4: I trust him. He's the guy. I'm I'm leaning on him,

376
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 4: and he'll he'll fill that guy up.

377
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 2: All right.

378
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: Well, we'll see the owners listen to me.

379
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 3: We'll see what the injury report holds.

380
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: For the charge if he doesn't play obviously out the

381
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 4: window and all of that, and if he's not one

382
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 4: hundred percent, or if he's out there for decor if

383
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 4: he's trying to. But I'm telling you what, if he

384
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 4: goes out there and plays and is anything close to

385
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: what he is normally, Easton Stick is a goober not

386
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 4: to throw it right at him every time.

387
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: Now we've resorted to name calling. We don't even know

388
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 2: what's happening yet, and we're calling people names here.

389
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 4: That's the way it's gonna work. I'm telling you, Yeah.

390
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 4: The other wait, what do I say? That's why it's

391
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: gonna be.

392
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 3: That's what he's gonna be.

393
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 4: That's why it's gonna be.

394
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: The other development is at the center position for the Chargers.

395
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: They had a big free agent signing two years ago,

396
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: Corey Linsley. They signed away from Green Bay, give him

397
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: a boatload of money. Beginning of this season comes and

398
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 2: he gets put on the reserve non football illness list

399
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: out for the year. Then they had to put this

400
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: week on ir The guy that had been starting in

401
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: his place, Will Clap goes on injured reserve. I believe

402
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: it was a knee injury that he suffered. So now

403
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: the Chargers for all intents and purposes, are on their

404
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: third starting center this season, and it's going to be

405
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 2: Brendan Himes. He is a fourth year player out of Nebraska,

406
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,239
Speaker 2: so or third year player out of Nebraska, so he

407
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 2: is going to be starting there with Easton Stick. Now,

408
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: I would have to believe if he's been the backup,

409
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: he's probably gotten a lot of reps with Eastern Stick

410
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: because those two guys were probably running out team for

411
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: most of the year.

412
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, the exchange won't be a problem, so.

413
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: You wouldn't expect it to be an issue for the

414
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 2: team this week, but certainly something to keep an eye on.

415
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: And that's kind.

416
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: Of the four to one one on the Chargers right now,

417
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: who have interim head coach Gift Smith steering the ship.

418
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah uh for the first time on Saturday against the Bills.

419
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 4: He was here. As we've talked about it during the

420
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 4: show during the week, Gift Smith was a defensive line

421
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 4: coach line defensive line coach here from twenty ten to

422
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 4: twenty twelve, and I gotta be honest with you, he

423
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 4: may be the greatest guy, greatest coach ever. I couldn't

424
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 4: pick him out of a lineup until I until I saw,

425
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 4: you know, the pictures coming out of LA this week.

426
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: That is not the name I thought they would have.

427
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 4: Although I don't know, I couldn't name too many guys.

428
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 4: I'm surprised or Kembo, Yeah, I'm surprised Kellen Moore wasn't

429
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 4: going to be the head coach or but they might

430
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 4: have gone down that list a long way before they

431
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 4: found somebody say yes to be in the because they

432
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 4: did not say Gift Smith has a chance to earn

433
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 4: the head coaching job. Oh, I don't think that's happening right.

434
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 4: Usually those guys are like, if Kellen Moore days is,

435
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 4: I'll do it. But if we win and we look

436
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 4: good doing it, I want the job right And and

437
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 4: the Spanners family has already said no, there ain't no limitations.

438
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 4: We're going out and looking for people.

439
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones because the Football Relationship Hotline

440
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 2: is open for you at eight h three oh five

442
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: today with Ali in Wyoming.

00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 3: What do you got for a Sally?

444
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 5: Hello there, gentlemen. We have a predicament out here in Wyoming.

445
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 5: My whole extended family has come to town, and my

446
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 5: parents and sister and I are die hard we love

447
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 5: the Bills and they've planned my extended family has planned

448
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 5: a birthday party for my adult cousin. Uh literally right

449
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 5: when the Bills are playing, because we're in mountain time,

450
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 5: so it's it's like the.

451
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 6: Clock for us.

452
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 5: And you know, we don't want to be rude, but

453
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 5: the four of us would really rather watch the game,

454
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 5: as this is a party for a grown up adult cousin.

455
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 5: Do you, guys have any any suggestions on how the

456
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 5: four of us can navigate this without you know, fully

457
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 5: disrupting the birthday party, but also doing the thing we

458
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 5: would really rather be doing, which is which is watching

459
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 5: our boys play.

460
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 7: Ali.

461
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, is everybody pretty fully aware

462
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 4: of how big a Bills fans you are or is

463
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 4: this something they may not.

464
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 5: Be aware of they are We all have I mean,

465
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 5: we all have our Bills outfits that we have picked

466
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 5: out for the party, like where.

467
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 8: They know the oka?

468
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: Okay, right, what you have to do if hopefully you're

469
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: familiar with the layout of I'm assuming this is going

470
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 2: to be a party at a home or is it

471
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 2: out at some venue somewhere.

472
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 5: You know, it's gonna be at my my grandma's assisted

473
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 5: living facility in their their party room. It's really a

474
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 5: dicey situation.

475
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

476
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 4: Wow wow, wow, Wow, that's really Here's the thing too,

477
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: it's a Peacock game, so it's going to be streamed

478
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 4: as well.

479
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: Wow, you have Peacock at the assisted living facility. You

480
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: are up a creek here.

481
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 4: Wow that is rough.

482
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 9: Yeah.

483
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I was hoping it was

484
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: at a house and then yeah, you could like get

485
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: control of the remote and say, hey, is it all

486
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 2: right if I sign you up for a free trial

487
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: on Peacocks just so you know, you know you'll have

488
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 2: the game?

489
00:23:59,600 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

490
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: I mean now I'm like, now we're in like mission

491
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: impossible territory here.

492
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: See what you.

493
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: May need to do because three people watching this on

494
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: a phone is not an option. So I think what

495
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 2: you have to do is probably go laptop mode. Yeah,

496
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: take a laptop with you, because I have no faith

497
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 2: that the assisted living facility has Peacock in the lounge area.

498
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 4: Yeah. And you know what you could do too is

499
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 4: put it out there. Make a call over to that

500
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 4: facility like today, like way before the game to find

501
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 4: out see if you can get some help from them,

502
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: since they've got to have football fans on staff, you

503
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: know what I mean. Yeah, And so try that avenue

504
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 4: as well.

505
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: And if they don't, your next step when you get

506
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: there is to immediately ask for Wi Fi access And

507
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: then I think you have to go laptop mode and

508
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 2: set that off in a side area in the lounge

509
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 2: where you know you at least have the ability, if

510
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: not to park yourself in front of said lap top,

511
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 2: at least have it in an area where you can

512
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 2: readily check on the game action. Wow, that is a

513
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 2: tall task, Alley. I'm glad you called that is.

514
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 4: That's a tough one. That may be as tough an

515
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 4: out as we have gotten yet this this year.

516
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 3: Your options are certainly limited because of.

517
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 4: The peacock nature of the game, and they schedule it

518
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 4: at another venue, assisted living venue, which is not like

519
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 4: it's not like you're a college dorm or even a

520
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 4: par right. Wow, that's it's.

521
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 3: The tall task.

522
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 4: Ali.

523
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wish you the best of luck in advance,

524
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: but I think that is your that's your parachute option.

525
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 2: You know, you're you're plummeting to the earth here. Pull

526
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: the rip cord with the laptop, make sure you get

527
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: the Wi Fi infro from the assisted living center.

528
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: And hopefully you can get on there once again.

529
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 4: I would call early. I would say, hey, call the

530
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 4: date like today and say, hey, what about it? Are

531
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 4: you gonna have you know, can we do this? Here's

532
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 4: what we're thinking. Give them your same problem and they

533
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 4: may be they'll maybe help you. But let me just

534
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: say this and and let me just be the devil's

535
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: advocate from just a moment. Okay, next time you got

536
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 4: a flex. When this thing comes up and you guys

537
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 4: get shut out of watching the Bills game, somebody's got

538
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 4: to pay for it in the future.

539
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 5: We do not hold grudges, but we do have to.

540
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 4: Don't hold a grudge. Don't hold a grudge. But somebody, oh,

541
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 4: she said, but we don't forget. That's right. Yeah, you

542
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: can forgive, but don't let them forget. Yeah, so you know,

543
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 4: don't don't forget. Don't let them, don't let them sleep

544
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 4: on the sacrifice that you and in the group have

545
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 4: made in order to have a birthday party for an adult.

546
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 2: And the only other thing I would suggest if all

547
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: of that fails, and you know, you're reduced to the

548
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: Odyssey app just to listen to our radio broadcast of

549
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: the game or something in an earpiece or in an AirPod,

550
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: an earpod in your ear. You have to find the

551
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 2: nearest bar or tavern to the assisted living facility, and

552
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: then as a group, the three of you judge the

553
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 2: appropriate time where we've spent enough time at the party,

554
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: we're doing the Irish Goodbye, and we're getting out of

555
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: here to watch at least the second half or something.

556
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: You know, that's your that's your backup contingency plan if

557
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: you've completely been shut out of trying to view the game.

558
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,959
Speaker 3: Live while at the party.

559
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 4: That's always a plus.

560
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: Map that out ahead of time too, so you know, hey,

561
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: we only got to go two miles down the road.

562
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: We can hop in this bar and catch the game

563
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: on Peacock or whatever.

564
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, and hopefully that works.

565
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 4: Yeah. And also, and like I said, Ali, make sure

566
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 4: you either call the assisted living facility and reach out

567
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 4: to to that bar.

568
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 2: Well, it is a standalone game, so you would hope

569
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: you'd be okay, I don't think you know, just map

570
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: that out really good good luck Allie.

571
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 10: Hopefully you guys.

572
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 5: I'm from where we're at so they always have the

573
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 5: bars out in Wyoming on so probably that'll be our

574
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 5: best bet. But I appreciate all the council fellas.

575
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah you good luck with it. Ali, let us know

576
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: how you make out.

577
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 4: Wow. That was wow.

578
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: That's right out of the shoot. That's a tough one man.

579
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 4: That's like the is it? How can we like stymy

580
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 4: somebody who really does want to watch the Bills game.

581
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 3: Let's quickly go to Bob and Hamburg. What do you

582
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 3: got for us? Bob?

583
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 11: Hey, I just questions for Steve. You get drafted by Houston,

584
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 11: You're going to be playing in the Dome. Your wife

585
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 11: and you are in nice weather. You got to go

586
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 11: home and tell your wife Buffalo Bills just picked me

587
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 11: up and coming to cold weather. How does she react

588
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 11: for that? Thank you?

589
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: Good, good question. There's a long epic story about the

590
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 4: time I got picked up off waivers by the Buffalo Bills.

591
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 4: But I'll say this, and when I first found they,

592
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 4: my teammates played a joke on me in Houston by

593
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 4: telling me I got picked up by the Buffalo Bills

594
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 4: because they picked the worst possible destination they could think

595
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 4: of to play a joke on me. Later in the

596
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 4: day they found out I actually did.

597
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 3: It was the same day they played the joke on you.

598
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh my god. Oh they knew I was

599
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 3: on waivers. They it was the whole point of the

600
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 3: whole story.

601
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 4: So they picked the absolute worst possible destination they could

602
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 4: think of to play a joke on me, to say, hey,

603
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 4: you got picked up by the Bills now, and then

604
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 4: they told me we were joking. Say, and they were,

605
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 4: they were just joking because but then it happened. The

606
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 4: league doesn't even tell you who won the bid ever,

607
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 4: if anybody put a claim in until the twenty four

608
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 4: hours are up.

609
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: All right, So what did the misses say?

610
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 4: The truth? This is the absolute truth. So I call

611
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 4: my wife, the you know, the girl I slept with

612
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: last night, same girl. I called her. We're twenty four

613
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 4: I said, hey, uh babe, I just got a call

614
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 4: and we got picked up by the Buffalo Bills. They

615
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 4: she goes, what do you mean, because we didn't know weird.

616
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, she goes, what do you mean?

617
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 4: I said, well, you know, they had to clear me

618
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 4: over waivers when one of the other teams in the

619
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 4: league claimed me, claimed me. They want me to play

620
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: for them, and she goes, that's kind of awesome. We did.

621
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 3: It was we kind of like, I know, it's kind

622
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 3: of cool.

623
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 4: I didn't even know anybody else knew my name, let

624
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 4: alone you know that like another team had interest in

625
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 4: wanting me to play for We were kind of excited

626
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 4: that somebody.

627
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: Had told her yet where you were going though, Yes,

628
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: you said that, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.

629
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 3: She goes, oh, that's kind of that's kind of awesome,

630
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: you know, And so you got a good lady there. Yeah,

631
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 3: because at that.

632
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 4: Point, you know, we you know, we knew, I mean

633
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 4: we you know, I wasn't I wasn't gonna play for

634
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 4: thirteen years and being four super.

635
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 3: Bowl and they have and they have winter in Kansas. Yeah.

636
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like it was a foreign concept. It's

637
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: not like you're coming from South Beach.

638
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that is That's the truth. I'll never forget that.

639
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 4: She she was a little bit giddy that another team

640
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: thought enough about me to go play for him. So

641
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 4: we did not. I was not at all downcast by

642
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 4: coming to Buffalo. Yeah, and in fact, I proofs in

643
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 4: the pod. We worked out pretty good and we got

644
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 4: here and loved it.

645
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: All things consider left.

646
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: We have to take a break because when we come back,

647

656
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 2: We were just talking about this last segment. If you're

657
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: one of those people that play season long fantasy and

658
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: you've been unceremoniously bounced from the playoffs, this is the time,

659
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: if you've never done it before, to try your hand

660
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: at some daily fantasy.

661
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 3: So you're here to help.

662
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 12: Them, that's right. As a matter of fact, when I

663
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 12: think of the origins of daily fantasy, it's not this,

664
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 12: but through my eyes, this is what.

665
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 4: It was.

666
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 12: Is that daily fantasy was when you got knocked out

667
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 12: in the playoffs and you still wanted some skin in

668
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 12: the game. It's evolved into so much more than that.

669
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 12: But if you lost in the first round of your

670
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 12: playoffs last week, but you still want to have a

671
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 12: vested interest in games that don't involve the Buffalo Bills,

672
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 12: daily Fantasy is your ticket and that is why we

673
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 12: will be watching on Sunday afternoon. Nick Mullins of the

674
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 12: Minnesota I am.

675
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 4: I was all because you got me. I thought, Man,

676
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 4: it's the daily fantasy is not it's not year long fantasy.

677
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 4: So you can find a value. And there's like nine

678
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 4: thousand backup quarterbacks playing. One of the dudes is going

679
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 4: to have a good game. Why, Nick Mullins and then Vikings.

680
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 12: Well, you can't see it those that are watching on

681
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 12: the graphic right now, but me the person that built

682
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 12: this lineup. On the fan Duel app, they not only

683
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 12: show you the player and his average points per game

684
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 12: and his price tag, but also the opponent's rank. And

685
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 12: if you guys could see the lineup that I have,

686
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 12: you would see a lot of players who are going

687
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 12: up against the thirty second ranked opponent. And thirty second

688
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 12: is a good thing in this case. So Nick Mullens

689
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 12: roz the Lions. The team has really struggled in the

690
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 12: secondary really since the absence of Well. I guess this

691
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 12: goes back beyond this season, but losing CJ. Gardner Johnson

692
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 12: early in the year has made an impact on them.

693
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 12: Mullins threw for three hundred and three yards and two

694
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 12: touchdowns in his first start this past Saturday against the Bengals,

695
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 12: but priced at seven thousand dollars to pay off with

696
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 12: a twenty one point day is a pretty reasonable estimate

697
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 12: given the matchup against Detroit. Right, let's take it right

698
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 12: to the running backs. That we'll go right to the

699
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 12: running backs from there, and two running backs in the

700
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 12: same game. I must note that we have to prepare

701
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 12: for a pivot possibility. Breshall first one seventy four hundred

702
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 12: bucks coming off of an absolute clunker this past weekend

703
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 12: as the Jets were embarrassed by the Dolphins and then

704
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 12: Brian Robinson in that same game. I'll talk about Robinson

705
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 12: in a moment, but just to go back to Breshall,

706
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 12: the Jets obviously last week were down big early. I

707
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 12: don't think that will be the case this week, as

708
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 12: the Commander's not nearly as potent offensively as the Dolphins

709
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 12: not nearly as good defensively either, so I think the

710
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 12: Jets can hang in this game a lot more closely

711
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 12: than they did last week, and Breshall should be a

712
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 12: very busy man as a result. Brian Robinson finds himself

713
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 12: in a terrific spot if he does play, though I'm

714
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 12: dubious now given that I guess probably any minute now

715
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 12: the Commanders will beat reporters who are covering the Commanders

716
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 12: will be a to tell us whether he was on

717
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 12: the field or not. But Brian Robinson did not practice yesterday.

718
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 12: If he does practice today or tomorrow and plays, the

719
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 12: matchup is great because as we know, with the Jets,

720
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 12: unless you're Josh Allen, you really don't throw against this team.

721
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 12: They are the thirty second ranked defense against opposing running

722
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 12: backs so far this season. So the matchup is too

723
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 12: good to ignore. For Brian Robinson. If he's not playing

724
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 12: at sixty five hundred dollars with three hundred bucks in

725
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 12: terms of overall remaining salary that I did not spend,

726
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 12: you've got lots of options to pivot to at sixty

727
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 12: eight hundred or.

728
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 4: Less rights, And that's part of it. Does that play

729
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 4: into the Nick Mullins at quarterback thing, is that's a

730
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 4: down that's a not a big price tag for a quarterback, right.

731
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 12: Absolutely, every week I'm looking for the moderately priced quarterback

732
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 12: because it's the position where you have the theoretical most upside.

733
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 12: I mean, a quarterback scoring twenty fans is not that uncommon.

734
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 12: A running back into the twenty fantasy points is pretty

735
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 12: unique in a given week. So a quarterback at seven

736
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 12: thousand dollars opens up the rest of the roster in

737
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 12: ways that if you paid top dollar. And I should

738
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 12: note no bills are available because they play on Saturday,

739
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 12: so you have to pick players from the Sunday day

740
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 12: game slate. But you know Josh would never be priced

741
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 12: at seven thousand bucks, and not that Josh is not incredible,

742
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 12: but in daily fantasy, you're looking for the thing that

743
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 12: not everybody else is looking for, right, And people gravitate

744
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 12: towards the single highest scoring player in all of fantasy

745
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 12: football this season. You're Josh Allen.

746
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: All right, So then you double up on that Lions

747
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 2: game again with the Vikings. But you've got two guys

748
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: on either side of the line of scrimmage.

749
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 12: Here, that's right, two guys who both have lots of

750
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 12: big play upside. One's been much more consistent than I'll

751
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 12: be the other Justin Jefferson priced at ninety two hundred bucks,

752
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 12: and I know that his teammate Jordan Addison was the

753
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 12: star last Saturday with a pair of touchdown catches and

754
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 12: the highest scoring Fantasy Football wide receiver all of Week fifteen.

755
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 12: But Jefferson was a busy man. And when you look

756
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 12: at basically every statistical record of note for a wide receiver,

757
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 12: so that the first four years of his career, Jefferson

758
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 12: holds the record, and that includes obviously this year in

759
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 12: which he was limited because of injuries. So paying up

760
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 12: for Justin Jefferson is because the matchup is just terrific.

761
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 12: And I don't think that Justin Jefferson during a season

762
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 12: in which he was healthy would have a ninety two

763
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 12: hundred dollars price tag in this circumstance. He might have

764
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 12: a ten thousand dollars price tag in a different year

765
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 12: because of the fact that he has been injured this season.

766
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 12: And then Jamison Williams for the Lions, who you know,

767
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 12: Williams is so up and down and really inconsistent in

768
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 12: the first year and three quarters of his season his career,

769
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 12: I should say, but with Jamison Williams. What I don't

770
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 12: need is ten targets. What I do need is just

771
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 12: one or two long shots down the field, because obviously

772
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 12: Jamison Williams has, you know, some of the best speed

773
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 12: in the NFL. That he could turn three catches into

774
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 12: one hundred and twenty yards. That's how talented he is

775
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 12: when he has a step on you. So Jamison Williams

776
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 12: fifty two hundred bucks. If you're gonna spend big at

777
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 12: wide receiver one, you're gonna have to pay down at

778
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 12: wide receiver two. That's how we landed on Jamison Williams.

779
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 3: And then Jonathan and Jonathan.

780
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 12: Rap out with the receivers here with with Jonathan Ngo

781
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 12: guys and Jonathan Mango the Panthers has been mentioned in

782
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 12: this conversation previously, but the big thing with Mngo is

783
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 12: that he has yet to find the end zone despite

784
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 12: a ton of targets. So what's gonna happen is that

785
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 12: at some point he's gonna pay off. He's gonna have

786
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 12: that touchdown, and you're gonna get him at a discounted

787
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 12: rate because it hasn't happened yet. So at fifty four

788
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 12: hundred bucks, I get it. It's frustrating, but not too

789
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 12: many guys go a full season with the kind of

790
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 12: target numbers that Jonathan Mingo has had and don't find

791
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 12: the end zone. So again, in daily fantasy, this is

792
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 12: not about what's happened in the past. It's about what

793
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 12: can happen on this given Sunday, And if Mingo finds

794
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 12: the end zone, that price diag will more than pay off.

795
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 4: And then in a game, the Bills fans are going

796
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 4: to pay a lot of attention to the Jacksonville game.

797
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 4: You've got Evan Ingram at tight end.

798
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 12: That's right, So Ingram at sixty three hundred bucks, who

799
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 12: was a really good player, obviously, but he has what

800
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 12: is the dead last ranked defense that he is facing

801
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 12: thirty second, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers it's actually allowed the

802
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 12: most passing yards this entire season. I would have thought

803
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 12: coming into the year that if one unit for Tampa

804
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 12: was further ahead of the other, it will be the

805
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 12: defense because it's kept a lot of the same pieces

806
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 12: that have helped them be a really good team at

807
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 12: times over the past three seasons. Instead is the offense

808
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 12: that is the far more formidable front for them. The

809
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 12: defense has been a sieve. Ingram prior to last week

810
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 12: had been on fire. So Evan Ingram is my tight

811
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 12: end pick at sixty three hundred bucks, and I might

812
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 12: as well just knock out the flex pick because it's

813
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 12: the same game. Other team, Mike Evans. He has been

814
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 12: really good this year, scored a ton of touchdowns, scored

815
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 12: a touchdown in nine games already this season. Baker Mayfield's

816
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 12: been one of the great sort of like comeback stories,

817
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 12: if you will, in the NFL. And the Jaguars have

818
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 12: some injuries in the secondary and frankly just aren't that

819
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 12: good right now in the secondary, so Tampa should be

820
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 12: able to move the ball effectively. Jacksonville, My confidence would

821
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 12: wane a little bit in Ingram if Trevor Lawrence is

822
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 12: not available and he missed his second straight practice today,

823
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 12: But that price is pretty still pretty good for Evan Ingram,

824
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 12: given how busy he was pretty much all the way

825
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 12: leading up to last week.

826
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 3: All right, then your defense.

827
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: You wrap up this lineup with a defense that could

828
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 2: have some opportunities. I mean, yes, Joe Flacco had a

829
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: nice game last week, but he also threw three picks.

830
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 4: He did.

831
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 12: That's right, And it's been a little bit of a

832
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 12: turnover sort of prone offensive late and the Texans, you know,

833
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 12: not paying a whole lot of money here for this defense.

834
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 12: But you know one thing about them is to spite

835
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 12: not necessarily being chuck full of guys that we think

836
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 12: of as all pro players playing incredibly are Demico Ryan

837
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 12: is no surprise that he's squeezing as much juice out

838
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 12: of that defense as he possibly can. So Houston a

839
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 12: reasonable price at four thousand bucks and three hundred dollars

840
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 12: left over, which means that whoever is listening to this

841
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 12: right now gets to go buy Steve and Brownie a

842
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 12: holiday gift. There you go, hundred bucks, all right, So

843
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 12: it's a month of Dr Pepper for you.

844
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 4: That's right. So I'm gonna make sure I hope that

845
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 4: Brian Robinson is healthy enough to play in that game

846
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 4: against the Jets, so some of you have money left

847
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 4: over for us.

848
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 2: Brownie, Oh oh, you don't even want to replace Brian Robinson.

849
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 3: If he doesn't play, you're gonna give.

850
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 4: Him and I hope he does play. And that way

851
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 4: we still have the three hundo.

852
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: Uh quickly, here field your thoughts on Bill's chargers. You know,

853
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: we know the interim coach situation out there in l

854
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback Easton Stick. Maybe Keenan Allen plays, maybe

855
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: he doesn't.

856
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 3: What do you think?

857
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 12: This one is simple. If you're the Bills, you have

858
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 12: to treat this game like you're playing the Chargers with

859
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 12: Justin Herbert, Keenan Allen, Joey Bosa, all their top players available,

860
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 12: even though at least two of them, maybe three of

861
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 12: them won't be and they haven't just made a coaching change.

862
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 12: You need to pretend like the Chargers are nine to five,

863
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 12: not five and nine. You play urgently on Saturday. There

864
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 12: is no match for this Buffalo Bills team on a

865
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 12: Los Angeles Chargers roster. But in the NFL, you don't

866
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 12: bring your best, things get weird. So that's my message.

867
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 12: If I'm Sean McDermott this week, and Sean doesn't need

868
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 12: my advice, but it would be guys, treat this like

869
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 12: a playoff game, because while technically the Bills don't need

870
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 12: to win, as we know now, the margin for aerslim

871
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 12: enough that basically every game is a playoff game. But

872
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 12: don't let this one be one that lingers into the

873
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 12: second half, because then and the NFL crazy things can happen.

874
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 12: So I'm going in there with the mindset that you're

875
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 12: down by fourteen when the ball is kicked off and

876
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 12: you're playing a great team, and you got to play

877
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 12: with all sorts of desperation.

878
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 4: I would agree with that. Thanks, Field, it's good talking.

879
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 4: Do you have a great holiday season? Hope the family's

880
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 4: doing well? You are? You like all done and buttoned up,

881
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 4: ready for it?

882
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 12: Buttoned up with all the all the shopping is done,

883
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 12: we are. We'll steam ahead to Christmas morning. So when

Speaker 2: What do you got for us data?

915
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 6: Hi, gentlemen, I am a forty seven year season ticket holder.

916
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 6: I'm about to turn seventy this year, and i have

917
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 6: an issue that has nothing to do with me. With

918
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 6: the game being Peacock, only our local people here in

919
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 6: Western New York will get to watch the game on

920
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 6: Channel two unless they have direct TV because direct TV

921
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 6: and tech Now are in a dispute and they've taken

922
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 6: it off the air. So if you guys can have

923
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 6: a solution for that. I've even called, you know, federal

924
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 6: congressman to see if they could help with these kinds

925
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 6: of problems because they happen all the time. First part

926
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 6: of this season, CBS or and our local WIVV were

927
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 6: out for almost three months and we missed the preseason

928
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 6: in the first three games. So a lot of people

929
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 6: of my age, especially in my neighborhood and the people

930
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 6: I know, don't stream. They don't even have the internet,

931
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 6: so they're going to be frozen out from watching the

932
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 6: game Saturday night because they don't get Channel two on

933
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 6: direct TV.

934
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it, you're right, And that's I'll tell you

935
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 4: this too. It's got nothing to do with the NFL

936
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 4: and the games. It has to do with, you know,

937
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 4: those businesses that are put it out. The NFL can't

938
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 4: even step in and say, hey, fix it because it's

939
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 4: it's their business, you know what I mean. That's the

940
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 4: that's the hard part about it. And you're right. You

941
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 4: call your congressman is a faster way.

942
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 3: It's a better way to do it than to call

943
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 3: the commissioner of.

944
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 6: The league right there. Their owned Tegan is owned by

945
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 6: uh it's a billion dollar company in its own right,

946
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 6: and Direct TV is owned by AT and T, which

947
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 6: is also a billion dollar company. So when you get

948
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 6: two billion dollar companies fighting with each other, the only

949
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 6: people who tend to get hurt are the people that

950
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 6: subscribe to them. I am paying to watch that football game,

951
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 6: and I am not going to be able to see it.

952
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 4: That's right.

953
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 3: That's a tough one.

954
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 2: I will tell you, you know, to subscribe to peacock.

955
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 2: I think it's five ninety nine a month and you

956
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 2: can cancel any time.

957
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 4: But you got to.

958
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 2: But you gotta work over six bucks and you got

959
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 2: to have internet access.

960
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, so if you don't have internet access, you're you're

961
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 4: in deep trouble anyway for this game, unlet you know,

962
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 4: like you said, unless you're not on Direct TV in

963
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 4: Western New York. So yeah, that's a hard one. And

964
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 4: that's that's something man, that Yeah, you got to really

965
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 4: start thinking about them, finding out what you're gonna have

966
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 4: to do. You might have to go out.

967
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a victim of a multi billion dollar blinking contest.

968
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 2: I mean that's really what you are.

969
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 4: The best thing you can do really uh data, is

970
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 4: go to a public place and watch it, you know,

971
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 4: go spend goos if you are and.

972
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: If you need to watch it in your own home,

973
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 3: that's your other option. That's why the game is exclusively

974
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 3: on Peacock.

975
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 2: That is the league trying to help their broadcast partner

976
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 2: and BC get more subscriptions for their app. And some

977
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 2: people will have no other option and feel compelled to

978
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: do so, and that's just what they want. It's unfortunate

979
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 2: that they're kind of nudging you in that direction, but

980
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 2: that might be your only recourse at this point in time.

981
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 2: Eight oh three oh five point fifty one eight eight

Speaker 4: Right now?

1008
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 3: Are you feeling the pressure of what still lies in

1009
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 3: front of Buffalo, needing to win three more games to

1010
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 3: cement a place in the postseason. Maybe your barometric pressure

1011
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 3: has lowered considerably now that they've posted back to back

1012
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 3: wins over what was perceived as the two toughest games

1013
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 3: of the remaining five game slate. Maybe you're breathing a

1014
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 3: little bit easier. Maybe you're convinced that the playoffs are

1015
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 3: the Bill's destiny.

1016
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,279

1024
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 3: The tweet sheet at one. Bill's Live. But let's go

1025
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 3: to the phones and to Bill in Orchard Park. What

1026
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 3: do you got for his? Bill?

1027
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 10: Oh, there's no doubt they're going.

1028
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 3: No doubt, no doubt.

1029
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 10: Tell me why and nobody's stopping us.

1030
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 3: Okay, what is what is the prevailing reason for you?

1031
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 4: Bill?

1032
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 9: Josh?

1033
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 3: Okay?

1034
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 4: All right, in Josh, we trust humh okay, all right, Bill,

1035
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 4: it's that simple, humh okay, appreciate it. That's awesome.

1036
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 3: It's a man who lives a simple life.

1037
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 2: It's happening, Bill, playoffs are happening, Why, Josh.

1038
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 3: End of story.

1039
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 4: I get the feeling. Bill lives in a one room

1040
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 4: apartment with simple life, you know, sparking a cocoon, has

1041
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 4: a he's like in a like one of those spartan

1042
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 4: He's in a one room house, has a you know,

1043
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 4: a bed, a chair, a desk, that's it, and a

1044
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 4: toilet that's it. Yes, that's Bill's existence. Simple to the point.

1045
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 4: Let's go all right.

1046
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 3: I wish my life was that simple sometimes. I'll tell

1047
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,240
Speaker 3: you that. Right now. Let's go back to the phones

1048
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 3: and to Justin in Buffalo. What do you got for us?

1049
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 4: Justin?

1050
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, how you doing a couple of things? My

1051
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 8: barometer right now is right where I think we need

1052
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 8: to be.

1053
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 7: Uh.

1054
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 8: I think we're peaking at the right time. Another question,

1055
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 8: sooner I answer to one of the things you brought up.

1056
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 8: The people who cannot get the game on channel two

1057
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 8: should just do themselves a favor and get an over

1058
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 8: the air broadcast antenna. Plug it into the back of

1059
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 8: your TV. Get all over there two four forty nine

1060
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 8: for free. Eliminate a direct TV and all these other

1061
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 8: corporate companies that think they own us, and then you

1062
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 8: can watch any channel that you want for these broadcasts.

1063
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 8: And then I have one other question. During the game Sunday,

1064
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 8: Josh's armband was ripped off of his arm and they

1065
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 8: replaced it. Whatever happened to that armband? And does it

1066
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 8: have any value if it was confiscated by Dallas.

1067
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 2: Josh talked about this this week. We knew Steve knew

1068
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 2: what happened. He saw it. I did not see it

1069
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 2: while I was calling the game, but then Josh explained

1070
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 2: what happened. He's in a pile after a play, his

1071
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 2: armband gets ripped off. He can't find it, and he's

1072
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 2: pointing to his arm to the sideline like I need

1073
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 2: an armband. So Kyle Allen, the backup, ran out and

1074
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 2: gave him his and by the time they got to

1075
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,720
Speaker 2: the next play, meanwhile, he found out it was the velcrow.

1076
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 2: Part of his armband had stuck to the back of

1077
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 2: his jersey. It was on the back of his jersey.

1078
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 4: It was dangling from his behind the whole time, so

1079
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 4: nobody knew where, you know, and nobody really noticed it

1080
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 4: until you know, the TV cameras actually picked it up

1081
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 4: as well. Josh sitting there, he didn't know where it is,

1082
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 4: and it's it's like a Joey ripped it off and

1083
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 4: threw it. It's like somebody put a kick kick me

1084
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:36,240
Speaker 4: sign on the back. So so after then he found

1085
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 4: it and he threw Kyle Allen back the one he

1086
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 4: had and it probably would have limited value to the team.

1087
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 4: They're playing that day. Now, if you want to take

1088
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 4: it back and look at it, and even look going

1089
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 4: back and looking at you wouldn't be able to decipher

1090
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 4: because it's all written in numbers and code and all

1091
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 4: of that. There's some things that you could probably figure out,

1092
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 4: but it wouldn't do you any good fast enough to

1093
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 4: help you in the game you're in, and only would

1094
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 4: help you if in going forward, if they didn't change

1095
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 4: it up, in which they probably would. So you don't

1096
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 4: even know what those plays sound like when you fully

1097
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:16,280
Speaker 4: say them off a wriskman. So it would be limited value,

1098
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 4: but don't but don't kid yourself. The other team would

1099
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 4: absolutely try and decipher it. They would keep it, they'd

1100
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 4: get to work on it, they'd give it to their

1101
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 4: you know, the people in the dark room with the

1102
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 4: microscopes and the well we found you know that kind

1103
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 4: of thing. Yes, absolutely, it wouldn't would have limited value.

1104
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 4: But still nobody will have the to this exactly we

1105
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 4: have an Enigma machine. Yeah, okay, that's every time they

1106
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 4: would be. Think about how curious you would be even

1107
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 4: if you couldn't figure it.

1108
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 3: I mean, what does that mean? Look at that?

1109
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,720
Speaker 4: What are they doing over there? Right, So, yeah, limited value,

1110
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 4: but certainly you would have people take look at it.

1111
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 3: Donkey shine, what's that code for?

1112
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 7: What is that?

1113
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 3: Let's go back to the votes that the Carol in Tanawanda.

1114
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 3: What do you got first, Carol, Yeah, guys, I have.

1115
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,720
Speaker 14: A couple things. I just want to say. Last week's

1116
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 14: game was just brilliant. There was just a brilliant pup

1117
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 14: by the playmakers and the players and the coaches. The

1118
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 14: other thing is I think that we should call that

1119
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 14: eleven yard push the bull rush. I think that would

1120
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 14: be a great name for it. And anyway, regarding my

1121
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 14: playoff barometer, someone had said at the beginning of the year,

1122
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 14: I don't know who it was, that the Bills were

1123
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 14: going to go up against the forty nine ers in

1124
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 14: the playoffs. So my belief is the Bills are in

1125
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 14: the playoffs, they win it, they go to the super Bowl,

1126
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 14: they win the Super Bowl, and Josh finally gets his MVT.

1127
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 14: So Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, stay healthy, and best

1128
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 14: wishes to your family.

1129
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 10: Thanks guys, Thanks.

1130
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 3: Carol, Carol, thanks very much.

1131
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 2: All right, Well, that's a pretty healthy playoff barometer. She's

1132
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 2: not just saying postseason, she's saying win the whole damn

1133
00:55:58,719 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 2: thing and.

1134
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 4: Josh's the MV and yeah it was. Chris Berman actually

1135
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 4: predicted the Niners Bills this year because he had done that.

1136
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 4: He did it like six years in a row back

1137
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 4: in their day. He picked the same two teams and

1138
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 4: atronically they never met. They never did we And then

1139
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 4: the one game they did meet early in like week

1140
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 4: two of the eighty or ninety one season or ninety

1141
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,280
Speaker 4: two season, it was the No Punk game. Eleven hundred

1142
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 4: yards of offense. It was thirty four to thirty one

1143
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 4: or something, thirty four to thirty two, something like that. Yeah,

1144
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 4: it was. It was unbelievable. The game was fantastic. It

1145
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 4: was a lot of fun. And I remember too, I

1146
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 4: was on the kneel down play. We actually took victory

1147
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 4: formation at the very end of that game, and it

1148
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 4: was one of the most giddy huddles to kneel down

1149
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 4: I've ever been part even Kent Hole was just they

1150
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 4: were giggling. They couldn't believe we knew what we were

1151
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 4: up against, that they were a really great.

1152
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 3: Steve Young quarterbacking at that point.

1153
00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:00,040
Speaker 4: I think I think it was Joe and no, it

1154
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 4: was Steve Young.

1155
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it was Steve back in the USFL. They

1156
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 2: did meet Jim and Steve had another one up. Yeah,

1157
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 2: it was Houston Gamblers in the LA Express and I

1158
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 2: think they each had six touchdown passes in the USFL game.

1159
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 2: And I know Jim still says to this day, every

1160
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 2: time I see Steve Young, the first thing I talked,

1161
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 2: we talk about is that USFL game, not anytime we met.

1162
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 3: Up in the NFL, which is crazy.

1163
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 4: And then this game, it was the only at that time,

1164
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 4: it was the first game ever in the history of

1165
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 4: the league that neither team punted. I think it might

1166
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 4: have happened once or twice since then. But Thurman was

1167
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 4: absolutely phenomenal. We came out and ran a little bit

1168
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 4: of four wide, which actually I was on the field

1169
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 4: for that for a minute. We tried that, and I

1170
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 4: remember the you know, the baseball diamond was still out.

1171
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 4: It u was early in the season.

1172
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 3: It was just one of.

1173
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,439
Speaker 4: Those games that was just such such a cool thing

1174
00:57:58,480 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 4: to be a part of both those teams at the

1175
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 4: you know, just playing really lights out and it was

1176
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 4: really early in the season. Weather it was perfect, and

1177
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 4: I remember there's a few times because we you know,

1178
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 4: we're kind of known for our disappointing losses, but it

1179
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 4: was one of the few times when I remember how.

1180
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,919
Speaker 3: Awesome it was to win a game.

1181
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 2: Back to the phones and we go to Brandon down

1182
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 2: in Ellicottville.

1183
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 7: What's up, Brandon, Hi Brownie, Hi Steve. Good to talk

1184
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 7: to you again. As far as the Bill's playoff barometer,

1185
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 7: if you asked me a few weeks ago, I was

1186
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 7: already making travel plans for some of the playoff weekend.

1187
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 15: Wow.

1188
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 7: Now now, after the after the Dallas, after the Dallas

1189
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 7: and Kansas City win, I am one hundred percent on

1190
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 7: board the playoff train. They finally showed me what they

1191
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 7: were missing. I think Josh is going to be integral

1192
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 7: part of this playoff run, and I think James Cook

1193
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 7: being used a lot more. With the new offensive coordinator,

1194
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 7: I think it has opened up the playbook a lot more,

1195
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 7: and I'm expecting really big things and hopefully a deep

1196
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 7: playoff run.

1197
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 2: Man, you were feeling the pressure when you had travel

1198
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: you got travel plans. You want to talk about raising

1199
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 2: the barometric pressure. That'll do it in a second, especially

1200
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 2: when the team's.

1201
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 4: Well, the only plans you can make are like what

1202
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 4: to Vegas? Right?

1203
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1204
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 4: For the super Bowl.

1205
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 3: But now you're invested.

1206
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I know there are some airlines where you

1207
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 2: can get your ticket refunded as a travel credit or something,

1208
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 2: so you're not out money.

1209
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 4: You can necessarily, yeah, and you can also pay a

1210
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 4: little extra and get them you know, but change books something.

1211
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 2: And the prospects are looking a little bleak or uncertain, Yeah,

1212
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 2: that's going to ratchet up the pressure for sure.

1213
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 4: And yeah, and a little easier. Right, how about that

1214
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 4: Dallas game when going in there's like, okay, all right,

1215
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 4: we're right, We're I can prehend them. We're kine, We're fine,

1216
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 4: We're fine, We're fine, We're fine. You know that's great.

1217
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Uh.

1218
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 2: We do have an update from one of the reporters

1219
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 2: who covers the Chargers, Keenan. Allen is not practicing again today,

1220
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 2: so certainly not looking good for his prospects for playing

1221
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 2: on Saturday night. He missed last week's game with a

1222
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 2: heel injury. He is not practicing for the third consecutive

1223
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 2: day today. So that's your update and probably the most

1224
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 2: important one on Chargers player availability. They also have a

1225
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 2: starting corner who's dealing with a heel injury, Dion Dianne Leonard,

1226
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 2: who has missed two days of practice as well. We'll

1227
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,439
Speaker 2: see if we can get an update on him too.

1228
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 2: In the meantime, back to the phones and to Bob

1229
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 2: and Chic de Waga.

1230
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 15: What's up Bob, Hi guys, Happy holidays?

1231
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah you too.

1232
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 15: I just wanted. I just wanted to say. I think

1233
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 15: I see are ready to post the nuts two games

1234
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 15: making the playoffs, only because I think Pittsburgh's gonna knock

1235
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 15: CINCYA out this week. I do, I really do. And

1236
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 15: I think that if us in and Indie playing each other,

1237
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 15: I think at the end of the year and a

1238
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 15: couple games like that. And I heard this guys say

1239
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 15: earlier about Jacksonville, if they lose, we would have to

1240
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 15: win out. Well, I see it making it in the

1241
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 15: next two But I do see us winning out and

1242
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 15: taking the division, but only because I think Miami will

1243
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 15: struggle with Dallas and Baltimore. But I see Buffalo making

1244
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 15: the playoffs and with a tenant, you know, just say

1245
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 15: they win ten games. That's what I'm looking at, and

1246
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 15: I feel really good about it because I think they're

1247
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 15: hotter than hot and I don't think anybody in the

1248
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 15: AFC we even want to look at Buffalo all.

1249
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,959
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I mean that's it's a fair assessment, Bob.

1250
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 4: It's fair, and it's albeit really optimistic about the other games.

1251
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 4: You got to look at That's kind of where a

1252
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 4: lot of people are. We've seen this group, this core group,

1253
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 4: we've seen them play really, really well, and now they're

1254
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 4: getting back to that. They were up and down, no

1255
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 4: question about it. They've stuttered through the middle.

1256
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 3: Of the season.

1257
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 4: After Week five, they were up and down. They played good,

1258
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 4: they didn't play good, they played good and still lost,

1259
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 4: and then they stumbled and won, you know again like

1260
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 4: the Giants game where they need to look good, and

1261
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 4: then they played really good in Philly and lost in

1262
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 4: ot So it was the whole thing was pressure packed

1263
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 4: and we were all full of you know, butterflies and

1264
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 4: our guts watching these guys play. Now it seems like

1265
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 4: they found something with Joe Brady, and now it's like, okay,

1266
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 4: we kind of get back on where we were at

1267
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 4: the preseason, like I just just get to the tournament.

1268
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 4: But because of the stuttering nature of the middle of

1269
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 4: the season, it's like, oh, we got to get in.

1270
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 4: I think we're back to the point where we have

1271
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 4: some confidence in what they can do and what they

1272
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 4: will do consistently, because that's what we have not seen.

1273
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 2: And you are still looking, you know, at other games,

1274
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 2: primarily because you have teams that have head to head

1275
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 2: tiebreakers over you. Fortunately you got the help you needed

1276
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 2: last week. Denver lost. They fall a game behind the

1277
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 2: Bills at seven and seven. Bills are obviously eight and six.

1278
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 2: The next team with a target on their back for

1279
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 2: that are the Cincinnati Bengals, who were just mentioned.

1280
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 3: They are playing the Steelers.

1281
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 2: I believe that game is in Pittsburgh, and the Steelers

1282
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 2: have trouble scoring points, but that defense hunts and eats

1283
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 2: when they play at home. You're really pulling for the

1284
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 2: Steelers this week to hand Cincinnati a loss and then

1285
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 2: you win. You know, now you're nine and six, since

1286
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 2: he eight and seven, and you don't have to worry

1287
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 2: about the conference record tiebreaker or the head to head tiebreaker.

1288
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 4: I should say the problem is Pittsburgh's playing Mason Rudolph

1289
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 4: at quarterback.

1290
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 3: Hey man, if there was ever a time of year

1291
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 3: to rely on Rudolph at quarter it's now right. Come

1292
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,040
Speaker 3: on work with me here, Steve.

1293
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 4: I can get behind that. I can get behind that.

1294
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 2: I'm willing to pull any car that is a that

1295
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 2: is a.

1296
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 4: Yes, you got me with that one. I'm all about

1297
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 4: how is the time? Now is the time? Now is

1298
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 4: the time? Rudolph. Now, I'm just gonna tell you right now,

1299
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 4: Rudolph fly with your nose so bright.

1300
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say this right now.

1301
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 2: If at kickoff it is enormously foggy at Hansfield, I'm

1302
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 2: gonna lose it.

1303
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 3: He comes out, he's got a lantern on the front

1304
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 3: of his helmet. God, what's gone? We're so stupid. Hey,

1305
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta try to you gotta pull, gotta

1306
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 3: pull a rabbit out of a hat sometimes, so you

1307
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 3: know the Steelers have.

1308
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 4: To do that.

1309
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 3: Let's go to Dave in Batavia next. Let me pull

1310
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 3: them up here. Well, yeah, first, Dave, you're on one

1311
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 3: Bill's Live.

1312
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, how you doing realidates?

1313
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 3: Yeah? Merry Christmas?

1314
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 11: Do you Hey?

1315
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 13: I just wanted to say to Steve first off, listen.

1316
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 13: I never think of the late eighties early nineties Bills

1317
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 13: and think about disappointing losses.

1318
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 4: Never.

1319
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 13: I never think of it that way. I enjoyed watching

1320
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 13: those teams, and I remember all the special teams play

1321
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 13: and always looking to see where a number eighty nine

1322
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 13: was because it was fun to watch. But I also

1323
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 13: I wanted to Yeah, I wanted to bring up the

1324
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 13: fact that I think a lot of our running game

1325
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 13: was helped with Dawson, Knoxby and Back on the field.

1326
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 13: And I think if we can get those tight ends

1327
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 13: playing the way they should be playing, I think our

1328
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 13: offense is unlimited. You know, I really think we've seen

1329
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 13: we haven't seen the best of the offense yet at all.

1330
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and don't forget too Dave that.

1331
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 2: You know, the Bills have made liberal use of David Edwards,

1332
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 2: the backup guard who often comes on as a sixth

1333
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, a pseudo tight end of sorts, and they

1334
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 2: bring a three hundred and fifteen pound guy out on

1335
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 2: the field instead of a conventional tight end, which at

1336
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 2: most on this roster goes two fifty five two sixty.

1337
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 2: That changes the equation too at the point of attack.

1338
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:28,439
Speaker 2: So they've used that pretty much ever since day ball

1339
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 2: was calling place. They've had a sixth offensive lineman coming

1340
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 2: out on the field at times.

1341
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, to win in the run front. I feel like

1342
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 4: they've really used their whole offensive roster this year. To

1343
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 4: a large degree. Certainly, kin Kaid was probably a little

1344
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 4: bit limited because of his shoaler. He was on the

1345
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 4: I injured list last couple of weeks from getting tackled

1346
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 4: in the I Believe Chiefs game, and so he's I

1347
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 4: don't know if he was one hundred percent was feeling

1348
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 4: one hundred percent. He saw him drop two balls he

1349
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 4: got thrown, which is highly unusual Knox being back. You're right,

1350
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 4: You're right, Dave. I think Knox's presence did help them upfront,

1351
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. And like Brownie said, when they

1352
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 4: wanted to run the ball and they decided they were

1353
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 4: going to it was all hands on deck. And man,

1354
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 4: once it got good for him early on you could

1355
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,919
Speaker 4: feel it. They were not letting up and it got

1356
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 4: better and better. And yeah, it was really cool to

1357
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 4: be a part of a team, watch a team, watch

1358
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 4: your team kind of dominate the way they did in

1359
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 4: that In that game, the guys upfront played outstanding football,

1360
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 4: and all the guys that chipped in, whether it be

1361
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 4: Dawson Knox, Reggie Gilliam or David Edwards coming in, it was.

1362
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 4: It was really impressive. So, yeah, you're right, I don't

1363
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 4: I do think there is another gear or two that

1364
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 4: this offense could show that they haven't yet, and hopefully

1365
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 4: we get a chance to see it go deep in

1366
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

1367
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's jump back on the phones here and we

1368
01:07:59,480 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 2: go to Chi.

1369
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 3: Who's on a sale? What do you got first? Tom?

1370
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 10: I questioning an answer? Actually, thanks for taking my call.

1371
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 3: Sure, And.

1372
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 10: I thought a few weeks ago that it would be

1373
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 10: merciful if the Bills didn't go to the playoffs the

1374
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 10: way they were playing. But they look like an even

1375
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 10: money bet to me now. But my question is, when

1376
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 10: you get down to the end of the game and

1377
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 10: you've got a small lead, teams like to play soft,

1378
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 10: keep everything in front of them, that sort of thing.

1379
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 10: The Bills don't seem to profit from that strategy very often.

1380
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 10: I wondered if if you guys have data on just

1381
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 10: how often that works for him and they managed to

1382
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 10: protect it versus losing like they did in Fill a

1383
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 10: year almost did in Kansas City it worked the other

1384
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 10: way around.

1385
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 4: Then I guess, Yeah, here's the thing. You do see,

1386
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 4: it's not just the Bills, but other teams as well.

1387
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 4: You saw it a lot like a year ago, and

1388
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 4: in some of the cases you know, the Bills play

1389
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 4: a lot of one score games. When they win one

1390
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 4: score games a lot of times, or at least a

1391
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 4: handful that I can think of, maybe not this year,

1392
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 4: but this year and last year in the recent past,

1393
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 4: is because they were up so big and they start

1394
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 4: they do start playing a little soft, and the team

1395
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 4: will score late touchdown and it looks closer than it

1396
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 4: actually was.

1397
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 2: Like last week, you could do that because you're happy

1398
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 2: to trade yardage for time on the clock.

1399
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 4: Right, it was thirty to three, you know, I mean,

1400
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 4: so that's different. So now it's or thirty one to three.

1401
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 4: So now it's thirty one to ten, and you got

1402
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 4: two minutes left. Okay, thanks, you know who cares. So

1403
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 4: there's some of that. So yes, when you and I'll

1404
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 4: say that I've told this to Brownie a Ton. When

1405
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 4: you see one team take their foot off the gas,

1406
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 4: you see it on the scoreboard fast, you see it

1407
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 4: in the in what happens on the field, fast teams

1408
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 4: move the a team that was stopp the entire game,

1409
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you see the other team thing, Okay,

1410
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 4: it's over. That team that couldn't move the ball a

1411
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 4: lick for three quarters all of a sudden is going

1412
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 4: bank bank bank bang in the end zone. It happens

1413
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 4: a lot in the NFL, and that's why head coaches

1414
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 4: get criticized for letting their team take their foot off

1415
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 4: the gas.

1416
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 2: Now that being said, there is a difference between playing

1417
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 2: conservatively defensively and taking your foot off the gas. You

1418
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 2: can still play with effort and intensity in conservative coverages

1419
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 2: and play calls rather than just laying down and saying,

1420
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 2: h they have to try hard, it's too On the

1421
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 2: top of that, I will say it's my belief that

1422
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 2: part of the reason Sean McDermott decided to take over

1423
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:52,839
Speaker 2: play calling duties was he wanted a more aggressive approach

1424
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 2: on defense at all times number one and at times

1425
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 2: when a pro pri at the end of games to

1426
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 2: close them out. What compromised that plan, especially through the

1427
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 2: six week stretch where they were trading wins and losses,

1428
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:16,480
Speaker 2: was the lack of necessary personnel to play aggressive, particularly

1429
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 2: on the back seven. You didn't have Matt Mulano as

1430
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 2: a coverage player at the second level, You didn't have

1431
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 2: arguably your best man corner in Tredevius White, who was

1432
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 2: lost for the season in Week four, and then even

1433
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:30,840
Speaker 2: after that, your next best cover corner in man coverage,

1434
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 2: Kyrie Elam was on ir with an ankle injury. So

1435
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 2: it really compromised Sean McDermott's ability to call plays aggressively

1436
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:45,719
Speaker 2: in one score games. At the end, he still tried

1437
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 2: to be aggressive. Philadelphia game is a perfect example of that.

1438
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 2: He calls two zero blitzes on the last two possessions.

1439
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 2: They get beat both times. He's trying to be aggressive

1440
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 2: to close out the game. It just didn't work. It

1441
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 2: did work initially, they got the stop, They forced a

1442
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 2: fifty nine yard field goal to tie the game at

1443
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:06,680
Speaker 2: the end of regulation in a driving rainstorm.

1444
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 3: The problem is the damn guy hit the kick. Yeah, Yeah,

1445
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 3: he was aggressive in that.

1446
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,600
Speaker 4: I have noticed that as well. I think one of

1447
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 4: the things we've seen in Sean McDermott's era as defensive

1448
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 4: coordinator here this year is his aggression laden games. Point

1449
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 4: in case in point is what Brownie just said. No,

1450
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 4: you didn't see that in the years prior to this

1451
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 4: he's going aggressive. It doesn't And here's the thing too,

1452
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know that in the at the

1453
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 4: end of the games, after Davius White was healthy. Yeah,

1454
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 4: and you've got him and Benford or Elam or Dan

1455
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 4: Jay or what are on the other side instead of

1456
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 4: those guys out there in some way, shape or form

1457
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 4: or fashion, and he got to hide and pull your

1458
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 4: backing them up. You know, maybe they had the people

1459
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 4: to go man a little bit more than they do.

1460
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 4: But I think if you look about it, look at it.

1461
01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 4: There's been a couple of games this year they've made

1462
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 4: teams have made plays on them late in one on

1463
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 4: one coverage, which is an aggressive defense to call, and

1464
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 4: they got beat for it.

1465
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he was aggressive at the end of the

1466
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 2: Tampa game. If you don't have two penalties on back

1467
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 2: to back forth down, same thing walking off the field

1468
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 2: with a fourteen point win. Same thing in Cincinnati.

1469
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 3: Instead it's a hail Mary at the end.

1470
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 4: He got beat one on one in Cincinnati as well

1471
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 4: down the sideline. So it's you know, you can call

1472
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 4: you can be as aggressive as you want, but your

1473
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 4: player's got to come through for you. And I think

1474
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 4: one of the things that you hear too is and

1475
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 4: I don't know this, I'm guessing because it's the way

1476
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 4: it was when I played, and I would imagine it

1477
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 4: makes sense that it plays very well in meetings in

1478
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 4: the film, whether you win or lose, whether you win

1479
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 4: or lose, when the coach is there the next day

1480
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 4: and says, listen, we call this guy. We trust you.

1481
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 4: If the game is on the line, we're putting you

1482
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 4: man on man on this guy. We know you can

1483
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 4: do it night you know, and it worked out or

1484
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 4: it didn't work out, but we trust you. We trust you,

1485
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 4: and that that helps you the next week, they're going

1486
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:01,600
Speaker 4: to go out there and say, I know, listen, I

1487
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 4: want to play for this guy because he's depending on me.

1488
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 4: You know. It's a mental it's a mental boost for

1489
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:13,759
Speaker 4: your locker room when you know you've got a coaching

1490
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:15,680
Speaker 4: staff at any given moment, when it makes sense for

1491
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 4: your team, they're gonna look at you and say, all right,

1492
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,679
Speaker 4: you got this, we trust you, let's go. It's a huge,

1493
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 4: huge boost to the mentality of preparation for games, for practice,

1494
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 4: and certainly on game day when these players know that

1495
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,639
Speaker 4: it's been proven on film, in games and previously, that's

1496
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 4: that they're going to give you a chance to win

1497
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 4: this game. Oh that's big. That's big, because I don't

1498
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 4: think it's always been that way. I don't think It's

1499
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 4: always been that way in this building.

1500
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here, but when we come back,

1501
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls as we are, asking you,

1502
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 2: where is your bills playoff barometer? Is the pressure off?

1503
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 2: Now that they've beaten Kansas City in Dallas, perceived as

1504
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 2: the two toughest games in the last five are.

1505
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 3: You still holding your breath a little bit? No one?

1506
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 2: Getting some help from some other teams might be the fix.

1507
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 2: You let us know at Ato three oh five fifty

1508
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,679
Speaker 2: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. We're

1509
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 2: back with more of those phone calls when we return

1510
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:22,640
Speaker 2: here on one Bill's live stage here he's at the

1511
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 2: twenty the ten to five touchdown. Snap Dragon Apples this

1512
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 2: Bill season head to Wegmans and other local retailers to

1513
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 2: experience the epic flavor and monster crunch of snap Dragon apples,

1514
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 2: the official apples of your Buffalo Bills. Asking you at

1515
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 2: Ato three oh five fifty one eight eight eight five

1516
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 2: fifty two five fifty, what is your Bill's playoff barometer

1517
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,760
Speaker 2: at this moment? Feeling pretty good about yourself after back

1518
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 2: to back victories over the Chiefs and Cowboys, pretty convinced

1519
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 2: that the playoffs are Buffalo's destiny or are you're still

1520
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 2: chewing your fingernails a bit? Let us know at ato

1521
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 2: three oh five one eight eight eight five fifty two

1522
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 2: five fifty is the number to get on board, and

1523
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 2: we are going to go to the tweet sheet at

1524
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 2: this time. Tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1525
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 2: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and

1526
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:21,639
Speaker 2: Bill's read it says, I feel pretty good, but one

1527
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 2: false step and it will all come crashing down. If

1528
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:27,679
Speaker 2: we make the playoffs, will be the most dangerous team

1529
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 2: in the AFC. Gotta handle business one week at a time.

1530
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 4: That's kind of where everybody is if they feel like, hey,

1531
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 4: if we get in, we're gonna explode, it's gonna be awesome. YadA, YadA, YadA.

1532
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 4: You think about it. It's a week talk about this

1533
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 4: and we've proven it true. The teams have proven it

1534
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 4: true more so than we can even say it. It's

1535
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 4: a week by week league. So as hot as the

1536
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 4: Bills are now, you got to keep it rolling. When

1537
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 4: you get to the playoffs, you think about it. They

1538
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 4: went five straight to get in, and they do it.

1539
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:05,600
Speaker 4: Didn't the Cowboys just win five straight to get to Buffalow.

1540
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 4: They look clast week. It's a long trip to the

1541
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:14,639
Speaker 4: super Bowl from week thirteen. But the Bills, I'll say this,

1542
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 4: the Bills aren't just playing well. They seem to be

1543
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 4: on a crescendo. You know, they're playing better and better

1544
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 4: and better and better. They're not just playing well. So

1545
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 4: as long as that's the case, awesome. And I think

1546
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 4: one of the things as well that I'd look for,

1547
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 4: and one of the things that gives me hope is

1548
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 4: that this last particularly this last game against Dallas. They

1549
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 4: won that game in a way that has been completely

1550
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 4: different than any other game they have won in six years.

1551
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 4: They have won a game like that since McDermott took over,

1552
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 4: And that, to me is striking. And I gotta tell you,

1553
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 4: I don't know exactly what that means. It seems good

1554
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 4: because you feel like you got one more victory plan

1555
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 4: in your pocket that we didn't know we had up

1556
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 4: until last week. But man, oh man, I don't know

1557
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 4: how that affects everything else going forward. Will it help?

1558
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 4: I think it's got to right. So that to me

1559
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:14,560
Speaker 4: is really intriguing about this team going forward. Yeah, they

1560
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 4: it's hard to keep it going for a long period,

1561
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 4: and that's what you're asking this team to do. You're

1562
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 4: asking to play top notch from week thirteen all the

1563
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 4: way through week twenty two. That's a long way.

1564
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 2: We were informed today that if the Bills win this

1565
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:33,800
Speaker 2: week and Jacksonville loses at Tampa, that the Bills will

1566
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 2: in fact control their own destiny the rest of the way. Obviously,

1567
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 2: assuming they keep winning.

1568
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're not guaranteed to get in even if they

1569
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 4: win out the way it stands right now. But if

1570
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 4: one team or another team loses Jacksonville in this case,

1571
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 4: loses this weekend, and then as they go forward, other

1572
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,160
Speaker 4: teams lose or win or whatever whatever, it gets more,

1573
01:18:56,680 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 4: you know, we're still at the mercy of the scale

1574
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 4: up until the fact that, like this weekend, if one

1575
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 4: team Jacksonville loses and the Bills win, all of a sudden,

1576
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 4: now it's guaranteed if they win out, they're going to

1577
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 4: get in. If both those things don't happen, for instance,

1578
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 4: if Jacksonville wins and the Bills win, is still not

1579
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 4: one hundred.

1580
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 2: Percent correct, So we wait, which is what James concern was,

1581
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 2: I'll feel better once they control their own destiny. He

1582
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 2: says on the tweetsheet, Harold says, I just want to

1583
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,839
Speaker 2: take one game at a time and hope the playoffs

1584
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 2: will happen if the Bills win each game. It's Chargers week,

1585
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 2: So Harold's falling in line with coach McDermott. It's about

1586
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 2: the Chargers this week. I am not projecting any further

1587
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:45,639
Speaker 2: than that.

1588
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 4: Just yes, that's right. If you're standing in the line,

1589
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 4: if you're getting in that line, that's perfect. Just make

1590
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 4: sure you're facing the right way.

1591
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 2: Brian says his Bill's playoff barometer is cautiously optimistic. We

1592
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:03,959
Speaker 2: need to the Chargers and Patriots down quickly. No nail biters.

1593
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 2: One more loss I think might eliminate us, and you

1594
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 2: get into it gets pretty hairy. If you drop one here.

1595
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 4: You start, then you start hoping that two teams lose

1596
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 4: and the third team wins.

1597
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 3: Then you need and then it's like ugh, and they

1598
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:18,240
Speaker 3: don't want to live there.

1599
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:21,639
Speaker 4: You're You're back to, you know, the Bills standing around

1600
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 4: the locker room in Miami hoping the Cincinnati Bengals knock

1601
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 4: off the Baltimore Ravens and that Andy Dalton can hit

1602
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 4: Tyler Boyd for a touchdown on fourth and tent that's

1603
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:32,840
Speaker 4: where you're at.

1604
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a great moment when it happened.

1605
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 4: Well, it was maybe at the one of the all

1606
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 4: time moments. I'll sign up for it again. It was awesome,

1607
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 4: But man, oh man, that is a tough emotional month

1608
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 4: that we're looking at it to get there.

1609
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:49,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1610
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 4: Right, I was just watching that today. Somebody had it.

1611
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 4: I saw this on social somebody had it up and

1612
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 4: I I that is an absolute all timer for me.

1613
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:04,679
Speaker 4: After all the stuff that I went through as a player,

1614
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 4: all the cool moments and all the fun stuff I

1615
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 4: went through, that moment when the Bills broke the drought

1616
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,799
Speaker 4: and Andy Dalton hit that pass was an absolute old timer.

1617
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 2: Charge The Patriots game coming up next week will mark

1618
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,519
Speaker 2: the seven year anniversary of that game.

1619
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:20,679
Speaker 4: Think about that.

1620
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 3: Seven year anniversary.

1621
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 4: That's amazing. Yeah, that was one of the all time

1622
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 4: coolest moments of this entire franchise because because of the

1623
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 4: time in which it happened, you know, the drought, obviously,

1624
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 4: the players all of that, and the point in history

1625
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 4: where we have social media, and the fact that the team,

1626
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,720
Speaker 4: we have film of the Bills locker room watching it

1627
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 4: like we were watching it.

1628
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what did you mean everybody that posted every

1629
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 2: single Bills backers bar across the country that was doing

1630
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 2: the same thing.

1631
01:21:55,840 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 4: Priceless, absolutely priceless. Boyer in Heights standing there, all those guys,

1632
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 4: and Kyle Williams, you know, there with his kid, he's yelling.

1633
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 4: Then it goes in for the touchdown and it's just

1634
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:13,640
Speaker 4: we're watching it now. It's just absolutely off the chain. Well,

1635
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 4: it was just an all time moment, an absolute all

1636
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 4: time moment.

1637
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and coaches trying to stay calm because there's still

1638
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 2: time on the clock in the Ravens Bengals game, and

1639
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:27,400
Speaker 2: then you know, the clock finally ran out.

1640
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 4: So gosh, yeah, stuff, absolute great stuff. Yeah, and that

1641
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 4: you know, that's where that's what you're looking at. If

1642
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 4: the Bills don't win out they drop one here to

1643
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 4: the Chargers or drop the Patriots game, and they got

1644
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 4: that last game in Miami and they gotta they gotta win,

1645
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:44,680
Speaker 4: and two other teams gotta lose, and da da dah

1646
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 4: dah dah. That's where we're gonna be.

1647
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1648
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 4: Now, as cool as that moment was, one's enough and

1649
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 4: I don't need to do I don't need to relive it.

1650
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 3: Let's just win, Yeah, keep on winning.

1651
01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 2: Steve on the tweets sheet says the Mercury is pegged

1652
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 2: to the top on his bill's playoff barometer. I think

1653
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 2: Steve's thinking of a thermometer, which is fine. I had

1654
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 2: to look up how barometric pressure is measured as well.

1655
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 3: I'm not going to pretend I will say.

1656
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 4: We had the conversation, is it where is your bills

1657
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 4: playoff barometer or thermometer? And we went with barometer because

1658
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 4: of pressure.

1659
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:24,760
Speaker 2: So for those that might be wondering like I was,

1660
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 2: the barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure called barometric pressure.

1661
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:35,719
Speaker 2: The atmosphere is the layers of air wrapped around the Earth.

1662
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 2: That air has a weight and presses again against everything

1663
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 2: it touches as gravity pulls it down to Earth. So

1664
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 2: barometers measure that pressure. And we're figuring you're feeling a

1665
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:50,600
Speaker 2: little bit of this playoff pressure. So we thought barometric

1666
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 2: pressure would work here. So you let us know where

1667
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 2: your bills playoff barometer.

1668
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 4: And I hope people don't mind us let him in

1669
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 4: the in behind the curtain of how we prepare for

1670
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 4: the show and the work we put in. Oh, it's

1671
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:07,479
Speaker 4: it's supremely scientific or thermometer. I know most people wouldn't

1672
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,960
Speaker 4: think that detail would be important, but man, Oman, did

1673
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 4: we grind it out.

1674
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 3: These are the wed it for you.

1675
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 2: These are the tea's we cross and the eyes we

1676
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 2: got every single way we are splitting Adams.

1677
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 4: We are every day our nose to the grindstone. Here, baby,

1678
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 4: let's go.

1679
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 2: As Steve says, in the world of journalism, Steve and

1680
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 2: I operate in the toy department, that nothing could be

1681
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 2: more accurate.

1682
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 3: Uh, back to the phones and to Mark in Rochester.

1683
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 9: We got for us Mark, Hey, fellows, we're doing today right,

1684
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 9: all right? So this is where this is how I

1685
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 9: felt with the Bills going into the bye week, even

1686
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 9: after the tough loss at Philadelphia, and I looked at

1687
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:54,640
Speaker 9: my wife and I told her, so, listen, I have

1688
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 9: a feeling that this team is going to put this

1689
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 9: league on notice after the bye, like like they're going

1690
01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 9: to if they're act to feather and they're just gonna

1691
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 9: come out and so far two for two, they're putting

1692
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 9: the league un notice. I still feel that way too.

1693
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 9: I always felt that leading into that that bye week

1694
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 9: that they were gonna have went out. What I'm hoping

1695
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 9: for is is Miami loses at least one more before

1696
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 9: we catch up to them in week eighteen, and then

1697
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 9: it's on in week eighteen, and I got a feeling that,

1698
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 9: just like the first time we met, they're not gonna

1699
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 9: be able to keep up. And I still feel that way.

1700
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 9: I think this is a team of destiny right now,

1701
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 9: and it's showing, you know, especially the SmackDown that they

1702
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 9: put on last week with the Cowboys and just real

1703
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 9: quick see, I am all about feeling those feels that

1704
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 9: I felt when they were watching that Cincinnati Ravens game.

1705
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 9: I'd lived that over again, over and over and over.

1706
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 9: I love it.

1707
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1708
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 7: Thanks.

1709
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 2: It's easier when you know what happened to relive it.

1710
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 2: When you're living it in the moment. It is nerve

1711
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 2: wracking is all get out. You are literally on pins

1712
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 2: and needs.

1713
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 4: Think about where we were, folks, I mean it was

1714
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 4: it was rough.

1715
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 2: I'm outside the locker room and I could hear him

1716
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 2: in there when that happened, and I'm on my phone

1717
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:16,760
Speaker 2: and I'm on a delay feed through my phone because

1718
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 2: I'm in the bowels of hard Rock Stadium and service

1719
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 2: isn't great down there, so it's a little spotty, right,

1720
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to I'm on the NFL app trying

1721
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 2: to get game updates for that game, and I'm behind

1722
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 2: easily by like two plays. So I hear them going

1723
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 2: bananas in there, and then it pops up on my screen,

1724
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:35,959
Speaker 2: Tyler Boy touchdown.

1725
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,639
Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, that changes things.

1726
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 4: It certainly does. It was I I remember, I told

1727
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:49,719
Speaker 4: I told Kim p Goola this, and you know, shortly thereafter,

1728
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 4: I said that of all the stuff, you know, the

1729
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 4: fifty one to three game, the Great comeback Game, the

1730
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 4: Super Bowls, the AFC Championship games, and the playoff games,

1731
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:04,920
Speaker 4: that moment of breaking that drought may have been the

1732
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 4: most sweet and amazing moment in this franchise's history. With

1733
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 4: the Goulas' owners, with all the stuff that went into it,

1734
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 4: and you know, the fan base, this fan base that

1735
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 4: actually got bigger during a seventeen year playoff draft, that

1736
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 4: they became more endearing and important to each other. You know,

1737
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 4: it was also a moment when and I got to

1738
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 4: give the Bill's Mafia credit for this, and it isn't

1739
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 4: and always will be one of the most amazing things

1740
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 4: about it. When they started donating to Andy Dalton's charity

1741
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:43,599
Speaker 4: right away and Tyler Boyd's charity, and then they kept

1742
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 4: it up the next year with Lamar Jackson's Chad Hurt.

1743
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 4: It was it connot takes something about a fan base

1744
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:55,480
Speaker 4: that I think the fan base learned the hard way

1745
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 4: through the seventeen year drought.

1746
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,360
Speaker 2: It was a yoke that every last one of us

1747
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 2: carried kind of got lifted ourself.

1748
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 4: And got lifted simultaneously from everybody. It was I'll never

1749
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:06,959
Speaker 4: forget that moment. I think is one of the sweetest

1750
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 4: moments in Buffalo sports history.

1751
01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 2: Break time for us, Steve and I will bring you

1752
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:13,679
Speaker 2: some final thoughts from the tweet cheet when we return

1753
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:29,600
Speaker 2: here on one Bill's Live Stay tune. Ticketmaster is the

1754
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 2: presenting sponsor the Buffalo Bills twenty twenty three season. Ticketmaster

1755
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 2: the official ticket marketplace of the NFL.

1756
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 3: Back to the tweet sheet.

1757
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 2: And in terms of where your Bill's playoff barometer is,

1758
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 2: Andrea says, one game at a time, I haven't forgotten

1759
01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:50,879
Speaker 2: Game one or the first New England game. Scar tissue

1760
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 2: is a real thing for Bills fans.

1761
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 4: It is always has been. Yeah, we've been talking about

1762
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 4: it today a little bit about how this team has.

1763
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 4: You can find examples, we can all think of them

1764
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:06,759
Speaker 4: where they played bad and lost, played good and lost,

1765
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 4: played bad and won and played good in one of course.

1766
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 4: But man oh man, it's been a roller coaster and

1767
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 4: I think the angst has been present this year like

1768
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:18,799
Speaker 4: no other season.

1769
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 3: Reason past Josh says, we are moving in the right direction.

1770
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 2: Take care of our business Saturday night, and maybe get

1771
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 2: some help this week as opposed to none last week. Well,

1772
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,120
Speaker 2: they did get help last week, Denver lost. I think

1773
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 2: we make it in some capacity.

1774
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 3: Brownie's traveling tomorrow. Yeah, madd he'll be in here with Steve.

1775
01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:45,800
Speaker 2: They'll see you tomorrow at one
