22
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: that hill, planting my flag on that hill. Okay, it

23
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: can't be. Let me think here, Oh, do we know

24
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: the night game on Thanksgiving. I think we do that

25
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: was I thought that was already.

26
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: Night game on Thanksgiving.

27
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: I had this somewhere written down.

28
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: We already had it.

29
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: I think, you know we could keep track of our

30
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: shows from one day to the next. Did we talk

31
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: about this yet? Oh? I know what it was. I

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: think I might have just deleted your email from yesterday.

33
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 2: Thanks so much?

34
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: Well yesterday.

35
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. I think we know. The night

36
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: game for Christmas Day is Broncos Chiefs. So the Chiefs

37
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: are playing on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Talk about a way

38
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: to ruin a Buffalo fans holiday, right, you got that

39
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: team on both holidays. Come on with that. That's what

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: it is. Broncos Chiefs, Christmas Night, Chiefs Cowboys Christmas or

41
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving afternoon. And by the way, here's the thing. If

42
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 2: you're a Bills fan and you don't want to see

43
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: the Chiefs on Christmas and on Thanksgiving, set your meal

44
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: time on Thanksgiving at four thirty, which is when a

45
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: lot of people do eat like it's usually a late

46
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: afternoon meal. It's kind of like Lenner. You know, it's

47
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: not really dinner and it's not really lunch. It's somewhere

48
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: in between.

49
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: I uh yeah. By the way, that email that I

50
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: that I deleted from you was the international game schedule.

51
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: Not yes, that's what was released in full, And the

52
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: Bills are not part of the international schedule.

53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: We're going to be part of the holidays.

54
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: Anybody disappointed in your household that the Bills are not

55
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: going to Dublin as was hoped for?

56
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: Just me?

57
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, my wife. My wife wanted to go to Ireland,

58
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 2: so if the Bills played the Steelers there, she would

59
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: have made the trip. So she was looking for it.

60
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: I think in her mind's eyes, she was looking forward

61
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: to that. Now it's not happening.

62
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: There's always those, not always, but whenever that stuff comes up,

63
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, like sal Polo last year, were like, yeah,

64
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: let's go.

65
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but and that's the YouTube game. The YouTube

66
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: game is the sal Polo game that was announced yesterday.

67
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, are we getting spread too thin with

68
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: a different streaming? I knew where you were going, exactly

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: where you were going.

70
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Are we getting that way? I mean, where's the game?

71
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: I can't find it? My god?

72
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: But are they isn't too much? That's all I'm asking,

73
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm asking everybody knows what I'm asking.

74
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be getting to a point.

75
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: Where, come on, I'm gonna say for you yes, because

76
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna lay it out there. Steve is is

77
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: often a I don't want to say panic, that's too strong.

78
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: He is a spur of the moment texter. I'm a

79
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: little over the last couple of years when games have

80
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: more often moved to Amazon, Peacock, Netflix, Steve says a

81
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: mad text to me and to our producer Jay Harris

82
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: in a in a little group text that says, where's

83
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: the game tonight? Where what network is it? Right? And

84
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: that's inevitably when it's a streamed game, he can't find

85
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: it on his channel changer.

86
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: And so would change it.

87
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: It's remote, remote, I know that, and so so the

88
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: text will inevitably come out after the game is kicked off.

89
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: Where is it?

90
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: And it's from Steve?

91
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that happened once, maybe more than once. Maybe

92
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: I remember the Peacock games. You had no clue where

93
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: they were rite Bro they made. Yes, it's a little

94
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: bit I'm getting it now, I kind of. I'm still

95
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: I know what you gotta do, but I think everybody's

96
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: kind of getting used to it, even though it is

97
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: kind of a lot.

98
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 2: I was reminded of the first game ever on Peacock.

99
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: I think it was two years ago, and Steve sent

100
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: the text that I just described to me and Jay

101
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: where he said, where's the game on tonight?

102
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: J text slack eight it's Kickoffs eight twenty and it's

103
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: like eight twenty five.

104
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 2: Text back, it's on Peacock. Steve's response, do I have that?

105
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: Did I say that? That does sound like some I

106
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: was kidding. We do have it, I know we do,

107
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: but yes, I'm I do play into the old guy

108
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: a little bit. But yeah, sometimes you get on there

109
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: and you kind of click it on and you think

110
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: the game's disappeared. You know it's on, and then we've

111
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: all felt this too, where you know what's happening and

112
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: you know it's on, and you you're like, for a moment,

113
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: you can't get there, and that's frustrate. It is huge.

114
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: It's like you're missing a huge thing.

115
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,119
Speaker 2: Well, and the other thing too is if let's just say,

116
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 2: in your household, you may have a cable package, but

117
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: you also have streaming services, you know, and so you

118
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: were looking for the game on your cable network. You

119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: can't find it, and now you've got to find out

120
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: that you got to get over to your streaming services.

121
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: So you're shutting the thing off, you're shutting the cable

122
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: box off with this remote. Then you got to pick

123
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: up your TV remote, pull up your streaming services, and

124
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: then those do not load instantaneously like a channel on

125
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: a cable network.

126
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: So now it's everything.

127
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: You know, you're gonna floating.

128
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think you're gonna be three minutes late to

129
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: the broadcast, it's gonna be twenty one nothing, and you're

130
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: gonna miss a historic moment you can all you know.

131
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: And then you get there and the ref's reviewing some

132
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: play and you've missed nothing, nothing, which is.

133
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: But that's yeah, Yeah, I'm good with it. I can't

134
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: wait for the for this release. I'm still thinking it's

135
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a holiday game for Buffalo. Although we had

136
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: our guy on yesterday and I thought for a moment

137
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: my eyes were opened because as you remember, yesterday we

138
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: had on Dave Hellman from Fox Sports one and he

139
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: did this article about these other matchup. I was like,

140
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, there are other enticing matchup. It's not

141
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: just Buffalo bills for everybody.

142
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: We do suffer for we do.

143
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: And I was I got admit, I was way down

144
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: that rabbit hole. I thought it was all Bills. Nobody

145
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: else wants to watch anybody, right, Nobody wants to watch

146
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys or the Giants. Yeah, you know, so when

147
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: he started snapping off all these matchups that were coming around,

148
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, he's right, there are a lot more. So,

149
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'm willing to take a deep breath and

150
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: just wait for it. But I still think the Bills

151
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: are one of the honest things on TV.

152
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm also interested to see, in this the final

153
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: farewell season in high Mark Stadium, does the league do

154
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: right by the Bills and put the Week eighteen game

155
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: as a home game for Buffalo. You know, I'm curious

156
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: to see if that happens. Like how how aware you

157
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: know is the league office about what's going on? Aware

158
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: respective NFL cities.

159
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: Aware, probably how their level of priority is, Like.

160
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: Well, that's true, it's not. It's probably not one through

161
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: eight priority.

162
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: The only way it's going to go up in priority

163
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: is if the Bills, you know, they're seventeen to O

164
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: going into Week eighteen, then it'll be a little bit

165
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: of a priority for them. Yeah, but yeah.

166
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: That's I'm curious to see what that looks like at

167
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: the end, because you know, it's big deal for us. Nothing,

168
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: it's a big deal for us here. So I'm curious

169
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: to see if what's the last home game for the Best?

170
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: Is it week seventeen? Is it week eighteen?

171
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of curious to second tribute to my

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: my opic behavior as well. I just thought was the

173
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: last season and all those games, you know, all the

174
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: years and the comeback and the Super Bowl and the

175
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game and all the history there, and now

176
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: Josh and this crew have been there, and you know

177
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: they're winning playoff games in that building every year. I

178
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: just I just overestimated the fact that there was no

179
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: other matchups worth watching, and I guess there are. We're

180
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: going to find them out tonight, right.

181
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: So there are some widely reported schedule leaks out there

182
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: in advance of the actual schedule release tonight at eight.

183
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna tell you take these for what

184
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: they're worth. These are only rumors and reports that are

185
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: drifting out there in cyberspace. One is that Buffalo's home

186
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: opener is going to be against the Ravens on Sunday

187
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: Night Football. That's a leak report out there. The other

188
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: leak that we've seen has the Bills playing on Thursday

189
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: Night Football in Week three against Miami. Those are the

190
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: two leaks out there that we have seen pretty widespread,

191
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: multiple reports, whether that whether that verifies them as a

192
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: whole other story. So those are the leaks that are

193
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: out there. Take it for what it's worth. And I've

194
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 2: seen some others too, but they've been more independently reported,

195
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: so I'm not even touching them. So nothing official, but

196
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: that's kind of what's floating around out there. All of

197
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: that and whatever else is out there will either be

198
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: confirmed or proven erroneous Tonight at eight pm. As a reminder,

199
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: Maddy glab and I will be live streaming the Bill's

200
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 2: schedule release on the Bills YouTube channel and on Buffalo

201
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: bills dot Com. At eight pm. Will have NFL Vice

202
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: President of Broadcast Planning Mike North joining us to explain

203
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: the decisions that are made concerned Buffalo's schedule, and I'll

204
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: be asking him tonight, you know about that final home

205
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: game wherever it lands for Buffalo in the regular season,

206
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: among other things. I think we're all expecting the Bills

207
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: to be a prominent player in prime time. I think

208
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: we're also expecting, much like last year, to see them

209
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: as a prominent player in that four to twenty five

210
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: PM national window. We're expecting to see them there a

211
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 2: few times. They were in that window I think four

212
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: times last year. Yeah, how many times this year? That

213
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: Bills Chiefs game. Last year it did a gigantic number

214
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: thirty one point two million viewers. I think it was

215
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: the fourth most or fourth highest rated NFL game in

216
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: the four twenty five windows since nineteen eighty eight.

217
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, so, I'm I also think that this particular

218
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: schedule we're gonna last I remember I brought the stat up,

219
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: maybe it was yesterday. Games last year for the Bills

220
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: were not one o'clock games.

221
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: Oh right, Yeah, that's right.

222
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: Ten of them were not. So I'll be interested to

223
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: see how many of them are not this year as well.

224
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: They've only had seven one o'clock games. And remember that

225
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: Week eighteen. The only reason it was a one o'clock

226
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: game was because it was meaningless for the Bills and

227
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Josh played one snap. So I'd be interested, that'll take.

228
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: That's also a litmus test of how attractive the Bills

229
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: are to networks as well, whether they're on holidays or not.

230
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: But you get moved to those four to twenty five

231
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: slots and those four clock slots on Sundays, and it's

232
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: it's the that is the slot of the week. Forget

233
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: Monday night, Thursday night, Sunday night. That four o'clock on

234
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon is the game. And so how many times

235
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: you're there isn't also a litmus test of how interesting

236
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: everybody else thinks your team is.

237
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 2: Absolutely, let's go around the NFL presented by Kalida Healthy,

238
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. First and foremost,

239
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: we we already kind of previewed this that we know

240
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: a little bit more about the Thanksgiving Day game slate,

241
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: the triple header on Thanksgiving. The middle game will be

242
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: Chiefs at Cowboys, So the Chiefs are playing on Thanksgiving

243
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 2: and on Christmas Day. That's the four to thirty game

244
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving. So that's one of the three games that

245
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 2: we now know. We know Detroit's part of Thanksgiving, as

246
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: they are every year, but who they are playing we

247
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: do not yet know. And then there's a third game

248
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: in prime time that will be on Thanksgiving, much like

249
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 2: the triple header that is for Christmas, and the Chiefs

250
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: are playing in the primetime game on Christmas Day against

251
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: their division rival, the Devon Broncos. That was announced earlier

252
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: this week around the league. An unfortunate injury in Baltimore.

253
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: One of their starting safeties, our Darius Washington, tore his

254
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: achilles in a workout this week. His season is over now.

255
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: Fortunately for Baltimore, they have Kyle Hamilton at won safety

256
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: and it looks right now with Ardarius Washington's injury that

257
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 2: first round pick Malachi Starks might be starting sooner than

258
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 2: anybody expected. He might take you the other safety spot.

259
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: Knowing Ardarius Washington is not going to be part of

260
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: the equation this year. Washington was the player last season,

261
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: Steve if you remember who took over for Marcus Williams

262
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: who got benched about six weeks into the season.

263
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: When we talked about it a lot last season, when

264
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: they made that switch bench the guy brought the other

265
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: guy in and then moved Hamilton to full time, full

266
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: time safety.

267
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: Everything changed.

268
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: Their whole defense changed, and they catapulted into it. So yeah,

269
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: they'll figure it out in Baltimore. They're too good not

270
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: to and with Malachi Starks, that just accelerates his timeline.

271
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: That's all to me. It does.

272
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis, free agent after being released by the Jaguars.

273
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, he visited San Francisco, I think on Tuesday.

274
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: He's visiting the Giants today, and obviously there are connections there.

275
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: Former Bill's assistant GM Joe Shane, former Bills offensive coordinator

276
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: Brian Dable kind of run the thing over with the

277
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: Giants now they are intimately familiar with Gabe Davis's game,

278
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: So not really a surprise to see him visiting the

279
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: Giants as a free agent. Will see what comes of it,

280
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: if anything. Meanwhile, up in Green Bay, it's not exactly

281
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: the level of the Trey Hendrickson standoff with the Bengals,

282
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: but Elsdon Jenkins, offensive lineman for the Packers starting left

283
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: guard who's been to two Pro Bowls, believes that he

284
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: should be getting paid more money. He is skipping voluntary

285
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: workouts as a bit of a protest on that front.

286
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: He's got two years left on a four year, sixty

287
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: eight million dollar extension that he signed almost three years ago,

288
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: so he's he's looking for more money, and he might.

289
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: I think he's moved to center since.

290
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: Then, and yeah, they moved him over and now he's

291
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: looking for an adjustment. Yeah, because of them.

292
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: The centers make more than guards nowaday.

293
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: Centers make more. And he played extremely well there, so

294
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: he's saying, well, hey, if you're.

295
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: Gonna ask me to do this, dude, And here's the

296
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: fly in the ointment. The reason I think he's coming

297
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: to the table is because in free agency back in March,

298
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: the Packers signed Aaron Banks away from the forty nine

299
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: ers four years, seventy seven million to play left guard.

300
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: And he's like, well, yeah, where's mine I've been here right,

301
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: So we'll see how acrimony is that gets. Like I said,

302
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it's risen to the level of Trey

303
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: Hendrickson in Cincinnati, who yesterday said, I'm not playing on

304
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: this contract. You've got me on now, so if you

305
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: want me to actually suit up and play for you,

306
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: you better get something done for me at a much

307
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: higher average annual salary. Otherwise you can forget it. I'm

308
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: not showing up right and find me do whatever you got.

309
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 2: I'm not playing on this contract. So let's just say

310
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 2: the shot across the bow was made by Hendrickson in

311
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: Cincinnati when he spoke to the media yesterday.

312
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's gonna be an interesting thing because we

313
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: thought it was acrimonies between T. Higgins and puh and.

314
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that pails in comparison this.

315
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: We're getting a lot more information from the guy from

316
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: the player, right T Higgins. I didn't hear too much

317
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: from him and his camp. They were pretty quiet throughout

318
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: the whole thing because he got franchised once, which is

319
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, you get a good paycheck for that, so

320
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: it's easy to see why maybe he's you know not

321
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: and you can't they may franchise Hendrickson because if I

322
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: don't know if they can, can they do it at

323
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: this point on the calendar past the devil, No, we're

324
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: way past the day. Yeah, there's only about a three

325
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: and a half week windows. And like I said, I

326
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: checked yesterday yesterday when all is hit. They the Bengals

327
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: have twenty seven million dollars in cap space, so it's

328
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: not like they can't tack another ten million on to

329
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: his contract and just put him up a twenty eight million.

330
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: We'll see. I'm this is gonna be interesting though, because

331
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: Hendrickson has made it clear he's digging in. When a

332
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: player does that, it usually something gives you don't want to. Well,

333
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: the Bengals, I mean they'll the Bengals owe him eighteen million.

334
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: If he doesn't come in and play, they get the

335
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: eighteen million back. They don't have to pay him. But

336
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: his contract won't toll unless he holds in yeah.

337
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: Or appears in six I think it's six out of

338
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: the seventeen games to get in a crude season.

339
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: Right, so he can he.

340
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 2: Can conceivably wait till about week ten if they'll have

341
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: him or in play.

342
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: Or if he's a veteran, right, he is a veteran,

343
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: comes in, goes through camp, plays in the first game.

344
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: Then holds in Yeah, then he's guaranteed it.

345
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: Then he's guaranteed it. Well, that's a smart play.

346
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: Everything's hunky dory, and then pulls the ripcord.

347
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: Oh that's excruciated, right. I mean, you gotta think about it.

348
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: If you're Trey Hendrickson, you say you're gonna regret this,

349
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: come in play the good soldier, and then at week

350
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: two you're like, yeah, no, I'm gonna sit right here over.

351
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: Here in this zero gravity chair. Yeah, in reclined.

352
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna be sitting over here. Yeah, watching.

353
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: That is a possibility that the Bengals have to check.

354
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: That's that's what I gotta say. That's what you do.

355
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: That's the hammer.

356
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 2: It's the only one he's got too.

357
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

358
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 4: Uh.

359
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 2: Interesting story out of New Orleans, Steve. As we know,

360
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: Derrek Carr abruptly retired last weekend, and the Saints since

361
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: then have signed a fourth quarterback to their roster to

362
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: join Tyler Shuck, Spencer Ratler, and Jay Hayner. It's Hunter

363
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 2: Deckers now Deckers for those that don't know. He was

364
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: stripped of his NCAA eligibility back in twenty twenty three

365
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: because it was discovered he made over three hundred bets

366
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: on an online account under his mother's name over the

367
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: course of three years, including a bet on his own

368
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: Iowa state program. He did not play in that game

369
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: that he bet on, but it was discovered. He then

370
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 2: pleaded out to a lesser charge of underage gambling, but

371
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 2: he lost all his NCAA eligibility. Tried out for the

372
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: Saints early this week and was signed to a contract.

373
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: So now the Saints have four quarterbacks on the roster,

374
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: all of them under the age of twenty seven, and

375
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: that is going to be an interesting competition. So we'll

376
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: see how it all shakes out. And you know, I

377
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: think the highest draft choice on the is Shuck who

378
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: was the second round pick for them this past spring,

379
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: twenty six year old out of Louisville.

380
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's an old rookie.

381
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: Uh because Spencer Ratler, who's been with the team over

382
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: a year, is twenty four. Yeah, and Jay Hayner twenty six.

383
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. That well, that's a that's a mess open competition.

384
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if it's a mess, that's

385
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: a nice way.

386
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: Well, when you have four, you very rarely have one.

387
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 2: Like Cleveland, that's well they have five one they one

388
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: can't play because it's hurt.

389
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm I get it, but I don't know. The problem is,

390
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: here's the problem with football. We've talked to We talked

391
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: about it this a little bit yesterday. None of these

392
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: guys can get enough practice to let enough to go on. Yeah,

393
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: because if he's going to take a rip, twenty thousand

394
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: other guys got to have rep right, you got just

395
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: a ninety guys who got to help you figure out

396
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: who the quarterback is, and they got to take extra reps.

397
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: Steve, you know, we can speak from experience on this

398
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: subject because we've seen two different three man quarterback competitions

399
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: in Bill's camp during the drought. Two different three man competitions.

400
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: It's so bad. It's so bad.

401
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 2: And what I remember from those is within the first

402
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: week of camp it was whittled from three to two

403
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 2: because there is no conceivable way to get enough reps,

404
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: not only for the player to make enough of an impression,

405
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: but for the coaches to make a proper evaluations.

406
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 1: It's too grueling on the rest of the roster to

407
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: give a quarterback quality reps that you can evaluate because

408
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: you got to do four times the amount of reps

409
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: to give the evaluation, and that's four times the reps

410
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: for everybody else and only one time of the rep

411
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: for each quarterback. You just can't do it, and so

412
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: the coaches are going kind of with I had to

413
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: say the gut, and it brings in stuff that, while

414
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: it's important, isn't as telling, like how the guy acts

415
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: in meetings, what kind of questions does he answer, what

416
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: kind of times, you know, how his reps look Is

417
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: he ahead of it mentally or is he lagging behind

418
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: mentally and ahead of it physically? Is this guy behind

419
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: it physically and ahead of it mentally? Which guy do

420
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: we want to give the most reps to? Then, the

421
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: guy that's got it physically and needs mental reps or

422
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: the guy that's got it mentally and and the rest

423
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: of the team plays better with him because he's got

424
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: So it's a mess.

425
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: Yes, confirmed a knife.

426
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: Throw a fourth guy in, dude, Yeah, it's it's a problem.

427
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: The game makes it a problem, as you know, as

428
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: I just explained, and so that's why it you know,

429
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: you never you know, all he wants a fair shot,

430
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: but a fair shot doesn't necessarily mean a full shot.

431
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: The other guys aren't getting a full shot either, you know,

432
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: the other three. That's just it's And then the longer

433
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: it takes you to make that decision, the further behind

434
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: the entire team falls. Oh it's a mess.

435
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: It is.

436
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: And you know when you get into training camp as

437
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: much even if a team like the Bills, who has

438
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: a have a ton of continuity, same coaching staff, same

439
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: core players, you know, they they've actually this whatever rebuild

440
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: they've done, the rebuild even last year they rebuilt and

441
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: now they've got that continuity. Now going forward they got

442
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: even then when you go into training camp, the heat

443
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: is on to get it done. The heat is on

444
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: to find out who and what get them as most

445
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: repets as you can. That's for a team with continuity

446
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: like Buffalo. You get a team like the Jets or

447
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland or the you know, it's the Saints there that

448
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, there's running around like going too. We had

449
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 1: to find out lists and the owner is sitting there

450
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: breathing down here, who's gonna be?

451
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: Who is it?

452
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: Who's it gonna be? Man, it's a it. The pressure

453
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: really elevates when you get to training You.

454
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: Think, yeah, and that's you. And it's a first year

455
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: coach with the Jets, it's a first year coach with

456
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: the Saints.

457
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: So I mean the pressure is intense and immense and constant.

458
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: So the heat is on, the clock is ticking, and

459
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: you have no way to make the decision. You you

460
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: you the right way, You kind of you gut it

461
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: out and you think you just gonna go with your feelings. Yeah,

462
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, and it's and there's like yeah, and all

463
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: the coach there's twenty seven coaches on an NFL staff,

464
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: every one of them has a voice. They all have

465
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: an opinion, and how you know you good leadership says okay,

466
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: what do you got? And everybody gives their two cents

467
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: and the coordinator gives his five dollars. You know, they

468
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: all have a say.

469
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's it's so something.

470
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: It's that's why, that's why it takes so long and

471
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: sometimes and it takes a real skilled guy. Building a

472
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: roster is really hard and really hard.

473
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but with those three and four man quarterback.

474
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: Competation, gosh, nobody else can play.

475
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: It rarely ends well.

476
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 1: Right, nobody else. Nobody else can get ready either. Well,

477
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: yesterday I've been you know, I keep talking about the

478
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and the conversations I've heard over the years where

479
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: all these quarterbacks get together and says, yeah, I love

480
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: plulling to that guy. He's always there, I trust him. Here,

481
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: we got that out of that. Well, now the guy's

482
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: not thrown with him anymore. Now you're thrown with Billy

483
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: bag of donuts over here. Look good doing it. Everything's

484
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: all messed up. Yeah, the offensive line, you got guys

485
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: jumping off sides.

486
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: Hard for a quarterback to succeed in those situations because

487
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:53,479
Speaker 2: nothing is constant and there's lack of continuity. And then

488
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: even when you're thrust, even if you're fortunate enough to

489
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: win the starting job, you're behind just about every other

490
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: in trench starting quarterback in the league because you've had

491
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 2: less reps than everybody else. So now you go into

492
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: the regular season with less prep time on the field.

493
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: So many layers to it. Because you get a guy,

494
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: young quarterback who's okay in the chaos. Right, he went

495
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: to college that prepared him, his his his journey through

496
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: the college ranks, you know, transferred to a guy he's

497
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: all used to the chaos, he's used to throwing new people.

498
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: He does really good in that situation. But you never

499
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: find out until after a while after you make him

500
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: the starter and get him out there in a game

501
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: that his ceiling was fifteen minutes ago. Because he's good

502
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: in chaos. Now you got him the same thing he's trying.

503
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: You're trying to get him to spread his wings and

504
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: get a little better. And then it's not there. Yeah,

505
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: now you're the whole competition that you is.

506
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm so glad we don't live there any man. Oh, man.

507
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: That is that is no way to live.

508
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: A topic of discussion for you folks. Today, it's our

509
00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 2: last preview schedule topic because tomorrow we'll have a review

510
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: schedule topic. What's the one matchup you're most looking forward

511
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 2: to in the regular season for the Bills and why

512
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: we know who they're playing, we just don't know when.

513
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: But what is the one matchup you are most looking

514
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 2: forward to in the regular season for the Bills and why?

515
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: Eight oh three oh five point fifty one eight eight

516
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two five fifty those are the numbers

517

520
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: Bills Live on x So be sure to do that

521
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: because we want to know, like, what is the marquee

522
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: game that you are looking forward to the most? And

523
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: there are there are plenty of good choices this year,

524
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: especially with that home game slate that the Bills have.

525
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: Holy Mackerel, Yeah, there's some doozies in there.

526
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's there's some marquee games market marquee teams. Obviously,

527
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: as the season progresses, some of the teams emerge and

528
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: some teams fall away. It's it's been said on a

529
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: couple of different platforms on social media and some journalism

530
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: outlets that the Bills in projections have one of the

531
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: easiest schedules in the league. But you know, they're still

532
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: playing as we know, Philly, KC, Cincinnati, Baltimore. But those

533
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: four outside of those four teams, you got teams like,

534
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, the Falcons, the Panthers, the Browns, Steelers without

535
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers at the moment, the Jets twice. The Patriots

536
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: are looking a little better. But outside of those four teams, okay,

537
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: I'll listen, But the Buccaneers are a playoff team. The

538
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: Houston Texans are a playoff team from a year ago,

539
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: although they're in that you know AFC South, which is

540
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: a weak division at the current moment, So yeah, I

541
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: can see that. But man, there are four games in

542
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: the Bills home schedule that. Man, there's a lot of

543
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: teams don't want any part of that.

544
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do remember last year, just the review of

545
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: it and the feedback after the games were I felt

546
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: like the Bills fan base enjoyed the Kansas City game

547
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: and the Niners game more than any of the others.

548
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: I think those were the top two regular season games

549
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: for fans. I would say a distant third was the

550
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Monday Night game. Uh right, everything went right. The

551
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: Bills were humming on offense. I don't think they punted

552
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: the whole game. Like people were cuckoo for Coco puffs

553
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 2: after that because they were three and oh and they

554
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: were leading the league and scoring. Yeah, so that game

555
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: left a great taste in everybody's mouth. But I still

556
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: think Chiefs and Niners games last year were far and

557
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: away the favorites. Like people coming up to me saying

558
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 2: I had so much funny.

559
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you can think about how the game after

560
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: that Niners game the Bills are. You know, you're sitting there,

561
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: it snow's cot thirteen and thirteen and two or whatever

562
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: something in to eleven and two. And the games you

563
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: have left at home are New England, the Jets and

564
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: New England. So the home games after that and and

565
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: the Jet. I was just watching the Jet game today

566
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: that we said the second one. Yeah, the second game

567
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: last year of the Jets here in this stadium on.

568
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: December because even Rogers got yanked out of the.

569
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: Jets it was the Nator for the Jets. They were

570
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: in the ABYSS.

571
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: And this would be the loop point.

572
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 1: They were in the ABYSS and they were blindfolded. They

573
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: were they had no idea what was going on, and

574
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: they were just trying to get to the end of

575
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: the season, and the Bills lumped them up. That's the

576
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: That's the Terrell Shaver's touchdown game with Mitch Trubisky in

577
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. It was it was bad. It was bad.

578
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: They were Jets were turning it over. Rogers were getting

579
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: sacked all over the place, key on Coleman with the

580
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: catch in the end zone. As so. Yeah, so you

581
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: talk about the favorite games, there's no question the Niners

582
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: game because of the snow and the moment and the

583
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: season was still hot. Then you know, we weren't just

584
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: waiting for them. We spent a month waiting for the

585
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: playoffs once the Detroit game was over.

586
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: And let's not forget like the Niners were the NFC champs,

587
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: defending NFC chicks right coming in here. They were beat up.

588
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: They had a lot of injured guys, which is kind

589
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: of why it ended up being a kind of a

590
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: no county. Yeah, but the atmosphere prime time snow globe.

591
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: You know. But once big plays, once amorable plays.

592
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: Once they beat the Niners, they'd get gone back to

593
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: back Chiefs Niners with a buy between them, and they

594
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: beat both those really good teams. Then you had the

595
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: Rams and Lions coming up. Yeah, we were waiting for

596
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Then let's go come on and maybe we

597
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: had a shot. Then after the Niners game, maybe we'd

598
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: ktched Kansas City. Maybe they'll stumble because we'd just beaten them,

599
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: and given our bye week, you know, Kansas City wasn't

600
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: gonna stumble coming down the stretch in that week, and

601
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: so we were just waiting on the playoffs at that point.

602
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, you get to that that Chiefs Niners game

603
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: was the apex of that season because we had a

604
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: week off between. Let's go.

605
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: But now we're on to twenty twenty five. What's the

Speaker 2: five fifty and we go to the phones, and leading

620
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: us off today is Mark in Jersey City. What's up? Mark?

621
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 5: Hey, what's up? Gentlemen? Thanks for taking my call. I

622
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 5: don't like this team. It's the Bengals. I want them.

623
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 5: And if the you know, the rumors are true, we'll

624
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 5: have our whole compliment of defensive lineman back at that point.

625
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 5: Hopefully it's a little ugly. Hopefully it's windy. And you

626
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 5: know the wide receiver debate, they poured all their resources

627
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 5: into it and they're Nickel and Diamond their defense. I

628
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 5: don't have to get into all the permutations that you know,

629
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 5: the Da Mar game, the lead up in the playoffs

630
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 5: that you know, it was just that team was just

631
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 5: I don't you know that wasn't the Bills that day,

632
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 5: and then obviously the whole thing with Dorsey was coming

633
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 5: to a head in twenty three. So that's the team.

634
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 5: I want them to go out there and I just

635
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 5: mollywop all over all over that field. Thanks for taking

636
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 5: my call, guys.

637
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure thing, Mark Joy molliwop.

638
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: There's some people out there who had sent who would

639
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: echo that. We got a call from our good friend

640
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: Judy yesterday who said, you know, until they I've heard it,

641
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: until they beat the Bengals, you know, I want to

642
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: see it.

643
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe if I have this right. Since head

644
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: coach Sean McDermott has come on the scene, the Bills

645
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 2: have lost three of their four matchups with the Bengals

646
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: counting playoffs. Now, there have been some extenuating circumstances, as

647
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,479
Speaker 2: Mark and Jersey City pointed out, you know, the demor

648
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: Hamlin situation, the emotional draining of that, which is why

649
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 2: they part of the reason they got waxed in the

650
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 2: playoffs and the divisional playoff here in twenty twenty three,

651
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 2: twenty seven to ten. But the Bengals have been a

652
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: little bit of a bugaboo team for the Bills. A

653
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: very successful Bills team. So it's not nothing. I get

654
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: why Mark wants to see the Bills vanquish those demons

655
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 2: and just beat them to a bloody pulp.

656
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think so. One of the reasons is,

657
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: if you think about it in a general sense, the

658
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: Bengals are built a lot like the Chiefs are, and

659
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have a way better defense. But offensively, they

660
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: got that firepower, and they got a quarterback, and they

661
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: got you know, you gotta outscore them, and you got

662
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: to have fewer defense. You have more defensive stops on

663
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: your team than they have defensive stops on theirs, and

664
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: you got to get a break. That's kind of the

665
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: way you gotta beat the Bengals. It's exact same thing

666
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: as facing the Chiefs and the you know, those are

667
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: the teams Bill struggle with. You know those teams that Yeah,

668
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: it's like, Josh, if it was a tennis match, those

669
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: guys are always putting the ball back in your court, right,

670
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 1: they always get it back over the net. You have

671
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: to answer all the time, all through four quarters. And

672
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: if you don't answer once you're done, you know that

673
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: last you don't you don't answer that last volley, You're done.

674
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the way these Bengals games go

675
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: with the Bills and certainly the way they go with

676
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. So I think that's you know, I'm for

677
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: the Bills. I think the Bengals are every bit the

678
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: team that the Chiefs are because of the way they're built.

679
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and to Kevin and Hamburg.

680
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: What do you got first?

681
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 6: Kevin, Hey, guys, how you doing? Thanks for taking my call.

682
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 6: I'm gonna reach state what I said I'm Monday in

683
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 6: your show, and I brought it when he asked about

684
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 6: what game do you want to see? Certain ways, and

685
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 6: that's the look up as the Eagle game is the

686
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 6: defending champs. So I'll reinstate deb like I did because

687
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 6: in the way, the same difference is the Rams in

688
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 6: twenty two every they won the Super Bowl. That's why

689
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 6: I hope that game, like I said, is not too late,

690
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 6: because the injuries maybe not likely to be stinky weather,

691
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 6: especially white stuff coming down, and that would be the

692
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 6: one that we're gonna base it on. I'm just like

693
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 6: in twenty two when we beat the Rams, because he

694
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 6: won the Super Bowl the year before, so I hope.

695
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 6: It's not too hope. So I'll let you guys say

696
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 6: after I'm done hang out.

697
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin, do you have a preference as to whether

698
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: you'd rather see that team early or late in the season.

699
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 6: No, I'd rather see him hopefully. No. No, if I

700
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 6: had choice, no later than the Halloween around on the

701
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 6: thirty first. Okay, well because once you know, our weather

702
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 6: gets once you get past Halloween and when it starts

703
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 6: to get more unpredictable, and then of course on that

704
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 6: so hopefully no way than Halloween.

705
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this to You're right, I get it.

706
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: But also if I don't care when they play them,

707
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: as long as both teams are relatively healthy, you know,

708
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: so you can get so you can find out.

709
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 2: Who's because they got to play into two. They if

710
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: you have bad weather, they got to play into two.

711
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 1: Fair is fair. But yeah, I would love to see

712
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: it if you both rang. I don't care if it's

713
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: week eighteen or week one, if both teams can be

714
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: relatively healthy, because there's no guarantees that anybody's gonna be

715
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: healthy on week one either. So I'm kind of with

716
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: you there, Kevin. As long as both teams are healthy,

717
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't really care. And you know, if I if

718
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: I got to sit out and watch this, I hope

719
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: it's early so I don't have to sit in that

720
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: weather like everybody else.

721
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 2: What if that? Well, the last time they played the Eagles,

722
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 2: it was an all day rain game down in Philly.

723
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: It was dreadful, just an awful, awful weather game, you know.

724
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: And Elliott forces overtime with a fifty nine yard field

725
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: goal on grass in a driving rainstorm is the kick

726
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: of the year in the league as far as I'm concerned.

727
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to Bill in Connecticut. What do you got

728
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 2: for his bill?

729
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 7: Hi, guys, thanks for having me on. Sure, a couple

730
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 7: of topics before the game from earlier in the week.

731
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 7: I was expecting to hear more of the callers when

732
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 7: they're talking about what they want or didn't want, make

733
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 7: mention of you know, see these teams after six weeks,

734
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 7: so that we have more talent available rather than less.

735
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 7: But that's how I was thinking about it. Yeah, in

736
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 7: terms of the international discussions further in the week, you

737
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 7: can't put four teams in Europe. I don't think. I

738
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 7: think you gotta have six, cause we're gonna end up

739
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 7: with thirty six teams. It's probably six divisions of six,

740
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 7: and so you know, does Jacksonville go over? I don't know.

741
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 7: But getting to your topic for today now, I guess i'

742
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 7: want to see the Eagles to find out what we're

743
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 7: made of, see how good they are now too. So

744
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 7: that's what if all right, earlier late?

745
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: Does it matter to you, Bill?

746
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,919
Speaker 7: I guess I'd rather see him after week six?

747
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: Okay, you know I got to that's a good that's

748
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: a great point, Bill, Thanks for the call. It's a

749
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: great point. I hadn't really thought about the Hoyt and

750
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: Oguin Jobe suspensions having a having an effect on when

751
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: you want to see some of these teams. But it's

752
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: a good point. If those guys in the chamber, Yeah,

753
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: it's just more tools in the toolbox. And I hadn't

754
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: really thought about that. But there's something to it. I know.

755
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's it's a team sport and they're

756
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, they're probably not gonna tip the balance one

757
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: way or the other unless it's a very close game

758
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: and and one of those guys makes a play that

759
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: does tip the balance, but at the very end. So yeah,

760
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: it's something to consider. Just the two suspensions and when

761
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: you play certain teams on the schedule.

762
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 2: And let's think about this too. I think we can

763
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: safely argue that the Eagles have, even with some of

764
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: their free agent losses this offseason, they still have one

765
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 2: of the deepest rosters in the league. So you'd like

766
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 2: to go into that game with as deep a roster

767
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 2: as you have. And obviously, if it comes after week six,

768
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 2: after Hoyt and Ogan Jobi your off suspension, you feel

769
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 2: like you're a little bit of a deeper squad to

770
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: match the depth of that team, Right, So you kind

771
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 2: of prefer to see the Eagles.

772
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, that's right.

773
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're gonna split hairs.

774
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: If you yeah, and it's not even splitting hairs, but

775
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: if you're gonna conjecture and think about it, it may be

776
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: the Bills, like we don't really need them, look what

777
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: we did the first six weeks. You know, you never

778
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: know how these guys are gonna go. I I'm having

779
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: a hard time getting my mind around whether you know,

780
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: they're not gonna want these guys back in the fold

781
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: because they're playing so well defensively, but it could happen.

782
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 2: Right, we are up against the clock here, so we

783
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: have to take a break. But when we come back,

784
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls. We get to Devin in

785
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 2: North Carolina. He'll lead us off among others, holding at

786
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 2: eight h three oh five point fifty. What's the one

787
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 2: matchup you're most looking forward to on The Bill's regular

788
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 2: season schedule and why eight h three zero five to fifty?

789
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: Back with more phone calls next on one Bill's Live.

790
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 8: Stay with us all.

791
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 2: Right, as we get back to the phones here on

792
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 2: one Bill's Live on schedule release day, we wanted to

793
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: pass along some NFL news. Ravens have signed Derrick Henry

794
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 2: to a two year, thirty million dollar contract extension. It's

795
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 2: the most money ever given to a running back over

796
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: thirty years old. He may be an exception to the rule,

797
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 2: but they are playing with a little bit of fire.

798
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 2: He trains like. The only guy that I've seen train

799
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 2: more insanely than him is Harrison. James Harrison and the Steelers,

800
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: the former Steeler linebacker. That's the only guy that does

801
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: more impressive than this dude in the weight room. Holy crow.

802
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's yeah, he's a physical specimen. He's bigger and

803
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: he's faster than everybody or for every other running back,

804
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: that's for sure. And uh yeah, he's he's maximizing it,

805
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: no question about it.

806
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 2: So and he earned it with the season he had

807
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 2: last year. There's no debating that. Let's get back to

808
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 2: the phones those as we're asking you at eighth three

809
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,479
Speaker 2: oh five fifty, what's the one match up you're looking

810
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: forward to the most on the Bills regular season schedule

811
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 2: and why? And we go to Devon in North Carolina.

812
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: What's up Devon?

813
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 9: Hey, Steeve, Hey, Chris good, really good to talk to you.

814
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 9: Listen to your show, you guys, just so you know,

815
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 9: your show is I live at Charlotte, North Carolina. Your

816
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 9: show is how I've seed my my inter mos here

817
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 9: during the week and all.

818
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 2: Right, happy to help.

819
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 9: So here's I've got a lesser and a major choice.

820
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 9: My lesser choice I want to I just want to

821
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 9: see us play the Patriots with Digs. And it's correct

822
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 9: me if I'm wrong. I think last year Diggs was

823
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 9: actually injured when we when we uh faced the Houston Texans,

824
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:06,760
Speaker 9: and we know he was healthy.

825
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 2: Nico Collins was out hurt and then Diggs got hurt

826
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 2: in Week eight, three weeks later.

827
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 9: Gotcha, I got you. I don't think it doesn't seem memorable,

828
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 9: but I'm actually looking forward to to to seeing that

829
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 9: my major pick would be the Chiefs. And it's just

830
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 9: simple because you know, whether a retooled interior or not

831
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 9: really retooled but beast up interior for the run game.

832
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,479
Speaker 9: And then you know, I'm really interested to see two things.

833
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 9: I want to see Jackson uh Landon Jackson on the

834
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 9: opposite side of of of of can't remember his age fifty. Also,

835
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 9: I also want to see Max Ariston massed up against

836
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 9: the Xavier Worthy. I think that's going to be pretty interesting.

837
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, two guys that can fly. We know that. Of course,

838
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 2: Harriston's going backwards unlike Worthy, so it's a little bit different.

839
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, I get what you're saying. You want to

840
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 2: know how, you know, this bill defense that's been revamped

841
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 2: and given a ton of youthful investment, how it performs.

842
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 2: Is it going to be a difference making part of

843
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 2: the team that we have not seen in recent years

844
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 2: to get this team over the hump into the ultimate game.

845
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: That is a worthwhile question to ask against some of

846
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 2: the best opponents on their schedule.

847
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is. And the Chiefs game, I think

848
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future is always gonna hold a little

849
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: extra weight for a lot of Bills fans. I mean,

850
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna not be watching that game because of the

851
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: way the previous matchups have gone, and you expect everything

852
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: in this one as well. Oh yeah, and the Chiefs

853
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: and the Bills. You know, the Bills haven't been to

854
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl like the Chiefs have, obviously, but both

855
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: those teams are yardsticks for the rest of the league

856
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,439
Speaker 1: and certainly the rest of the AFC. So everybody's gonna

857
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: be watching those games, and they do have they of course,

858
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: it's going to be an important game. You know, both

859
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 1: these teams are going to be good again. You want

860
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: to see who wins because you think like they're going

861
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: to meet in the playoffs or at least have to,

862
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, beat the mutual the same opponent in the playoffs,

863
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 1: face the same opponent.

864
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: We go from one North Carolinian to another. We go

865
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 2: to Izzy in North Carolina.

866
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 10: What's up, Isy, Hey, how are you guys doing today?

867
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 1: Good?

868
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 10: This then, uh well, my first choice was going to

869
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 10: be the Cincinnati game, but you guys ran that down.

870
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 10: But the next game would be Baltimore because I feel,

871
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 10: you know, the running backs the last year was a

872
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 10: new thing, but this year they've had all this film

873
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 10: in the defensive wea be way better against the running backs.

874
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 10: My other prediction is that Kansas City.

875
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 9: Is not going to be as good as they've been.

876
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 2: Okay, expecting Kansas City to fall off a bit.

877
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 1: If you keep predicting it, sooner or later it will happen.

878
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: But well, we haven't seen that.

879
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 2: As long as Mahomes is there, that's going to be a.

880
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: Hard as Brownie said, Yeah, this Baltimore game being in

881
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: Buffalo will make a little bit of a difference. Uh,

882
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 1: we just said Derek Henry is gonna be there. He's

883
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: getting twenty five million guaranteed over the next couple of years,

884
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars in his contract. Uh, just sign an extension.

885
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna get that same group that lumped up the

886
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 1: Bills pretty good in Week four last year. So that's

887
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: gonna be a big game.

888
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 2: And started to run the ball well in the latter

889
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 2: stages of the playoff game here the divisional playoff, right,

890
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 2: because it got to the fourth quarter and all of

891
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 2: a sudden, Derek Henry started humming again. And you've got

892
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 2: to believe that a lot of this D line investment

893
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: was based on two things, or maybe two people, Patrick

894
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 2: Mahomes and Derrick Henry. Yeah, I mean, because those are

895
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 2: the two guys you're gonna beating your head against the

896
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: wall against for the next gotta be a couple of years. Anyway.

897
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 1: You've got to be big enough to stop Derrick Henry

898
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: and be elusive enough and pass rush savvy enough to

899
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: stop Mahomes. I mean that. Yeah, you got to have

900
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: the best of both worlds. We'll see if they can

901
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 1: get it done. But yeah, those are two good games,

902
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: no question in Baltimore being here. I think in these

903
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: with these two teams, I think it does make a difference.

904
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 2: Let's go to Paul in cheek to wago.

905
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: What's up, Paul, Hey, how's it going?

906
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 7: Guys?

907
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 11: Love your show much respect.

908
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 2: Thanks.

909
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 11: Hey, So, I just wanted to ask your opinion on

910
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 11: a point you made earlier about Week eighteen and what

911
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 11: the league thought and whether they'd have, you know, the

912
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 11: Bills be at home one and two. Would you want

913
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 11: to see a tough match up maybe at the end

914
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 11: of the year or kind of a layup being the

915
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 11: last game at High Mark.

916
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think we all want to see him win

917
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:39,919
Speaker 2: the game.

918
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to see him win, so I don't care. Yeah,

919
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean if they win, I don't care. But yeah,

920
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean you always kind of want that

921
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: stress relief when you're looking forward to it. You don't

922
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: want that last But I think too, if things go

923
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: like they're supposed to, the Bills should have a home

924
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: game anyway. No guarantees though, so yeah, you always for

925
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: what we what you can control and what can happen

926
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: and what we know that's going to come down. Yeah,

927
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: of course you'd want them to be playing Sisters of

928
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: the Poor on Week eighteen.

929
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 2: But hopefully you know they're at home that last week.

930
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 2: You know, maybe in the grand scheme of things, if

931
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 2: the Bills have a season like many of us expect,

932
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: maybe they don't even need that game, which could compromise

933
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 2: how it turns out too. But yeah, you'd like to

934
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 2: see the Bills go out on a winning note in

935
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 2: their final regular season game. But hopefully the season's gone

936
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 2: so well that there are home playoff games to follow.

937
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: That's right, hope, right, But like I said, no guarantees.

938
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, break time for us here. When we come back, though,

939
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 2: our number two is going to begin with our good

940
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: friend from Sports Illustrated, NFL writer Matt Verderram's going to

941
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 2: join us, going to be talking to him about this

942
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 2: upcoming regular season schedule and a ranking of the rosters

943
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 2: in the AFC. Matt did the work. We'll talk to

944
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 2: him about it when we return here on One Bill's

945
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 2: Live presented by Collide Health.

946

Speaker 12: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

947
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

948
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 2: All right, here we are our number two on schedule

949
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 2: release day. Chris Brown, Steve tasted with you and happy

950
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 2: to welcome in now. NFL writer for Sports Illustrated, also

951
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 2: host of the Mad vert Ram Show. It's Mad Vertram

952
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 2: joining us here, and we've seen a lot of breadcrumbs

953
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: Matt the last few days from the NFL in terms

954
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 2: of certain games on certain dates, holiday games and the like.

955
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 2: Has anything to this point that's been released kind of

956
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 2: surprised you, I know, we we've been kind of knocking

957
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 2: around the fact that you pretty much know a quarter

958
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 2: of the Eagles schedule already with all the all the

959
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 2: you know, participation they've had in some of the games

960
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 2: that have been announced already.

961
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, with the Eagles have been out there quite a bit.

962
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,439
Speaker 4: Not surprisingly, I would say, I guess Minnesota having back

963
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 4: to back games in two different countries and neither one

964
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 4: of them are America. I know it's not a huge

965
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 4: trip from Ireland to to London, but you know, having

966
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 4: those games, I feel like that's a that's a tough stretch.

967
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 4: Earlier in the year. Yeah, the Giants schedule early is brutal.

968
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 4: They I'll probably get the side of water brough Top

969
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 4: me head. They're playing Washington, Dallas, Kansas City, the Chargers,

970
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 4: and then I think they have Philadelphia twice in three weeks,

971
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 4: weeks before December. That feels like a team that they'll

972
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 4: be happy if they're just in contention by Halloween. So

973
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 4: there have been some surprises. We're gonna see the Chiefs

974
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,919
Speaker 4: on Thanksgiving and on Christmas. That feels like I'm sure

975
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 4: for some fans allow to overkill. I don't blame them

976
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 4: for feeling that way. So, yeah, there are definitely some

977
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 4: things that have jumped out for sure.

978
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: Is there any we had this conversation. This is a

979
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: little bit off the topic, but do you is there

980
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: any tea leaves to be read about what's gonna happen

981
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: with the overseas games and where it might lead.

982
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 4: You know, I think Steve at some point with all

983
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 4: the different markets now they're going into. You know, first

984
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 4: it was London, now it has become Now it's Ireland,

985
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 4: and it's Brazil for the second straight year. And you

986
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 4: hear talk about could be in the United a Rebmembirates

987
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 4: at some point in the next years, it's gonna be

988
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 4: in Australia. I wonder if you're the NFL, when you

989
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 4: go to an eighteen game schedule, do you just simply say, look,

990
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 4: you're gonna have eight home games, eight road games, you're

991
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 4: gonna have two international games, and essentially pick four markets.

992
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 4: Let's just say it's London, Brazil, Germany, which is another

993
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 4: one that they're obviously pretty entrenched in now, and then

994
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 4: pick another it doesn't matter what it is, and basically

995
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 4: just sell season ticket packages because you would have thirty

996
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 4: two games at that point. So do you just say, hey,

997
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 4: look we're gonna have eight games in London, We're going

998
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 4: eight games in Germany, We're eight games in Brazil, We're

999
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 4: gonna eight games in Australia or Ireland. Were in Mexico,

1000
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 4: and you just it's almost it's essentially getting the revenue

1001
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 4: of another four teams, right I it's a season ticket

1002
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 4: package that you can charge a lot four because these

1003
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 4: are specialty games and you're getting all these different teams

1004
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 4: over that you're gonna see and it's not just the

1005
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 4: same team of course every time. So I wonder if

1006
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 4: we're headed toward that direction here in the next you know,

1007
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 4: five to ten years.

1008
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of what the English Premier League and

1009
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 2: other major European soccer leagues do in their offseason. They

1010
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 2: come and play friendly games here in the States and

1011
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: charge exorbitant prices, and American fans come because it's a

1012
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 2: chance to see some of the best soccer players in

1013
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 2: the world. So it wouldn't be surprised if they take

1014
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 2: a page out of that book at all you recently

1015
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 2: put together. You know, your overview of AFC rosters after

1016
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 2: most of the business has been done for the better

1017
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 2: part of this offseason, and you know, in your right

1018
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 2: up on the AFC East, I think you kind of

1019
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: had it just how I see it shaking out. I

1020
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 2: really do think New England is going to be a

1021
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 2: much tougher out this year as an opponent than in

1022
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 2: years past, not to mention the fact that their home

1023
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 2: schedule is stunningly easy, but that's to be expected, I

1024
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 2: guess when you're playing a fourth place schedule. Still, in

1025
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 2: all I think with Rabel and what they've done to

1026
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 2: the roster, I think they're going to be a much

1027
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 2: more respectable side and not an easy team to pull

1028
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 2: away from as in years past.

1029
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Bills are pretty clear in a

1030
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 4: way the best team in the ACAST. I would be

1031
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 4: shocked if as long as Allen's healthy, if they're challenged,

1032
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 4: I think the Bills win the division.

1033
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,919
Speaker 1: By four games something like that.

1034
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 4: But I do think New England's the best team other

1035
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 4: than Buffalo. Miami to me, has just fallen off over

1036
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 4: the last few years. They spent a ton of money

1037
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 4: on big contracts, whether you're talking about Jaylen Ramsey or

1038
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill or Bradley Chubb or to a tongue of

1039
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 4: I low of course, and so those contracts if not

1040
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 4: particularly aged well to it, there's always injury concern. Tyreek

1041
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 4: Hill last year did not live anywhere up near his dance.

1042
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 4: I understand some of that was affected by the quarterback play,

1043
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 4: but then Chubb gets hurt a lot. He's older Ramsey

1044
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 4: at this point, David, don't look if they could get

1045
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 4: a six round pick for Ramsey.

1046
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: They don't love Ramsey.

1047
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 4: The Jets are in a full rebuild for what feels

1048
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 4: like the seven times in the last five years. So

1049
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 4: I do think New England's tougher because I like May.

1050
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 4: I think he's a good quarterback. Vrabel is a real coach.

1051
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 4: I don't always love when these teams go out and

1052
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 4: spend a boatload of money in free agency, but New

1053
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 4: England it's so much cap space. Are basically compelled to

1054
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 4: do it. I don't you know. Milton Williams is fine.

1055
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 4: They spend a ton of money there. He'll probably have

1056
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 4: to be in a cap casualty in a few years.

1057
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 4: But I liked that they at least they built up

1058
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 4: the floor of that team. I think they'll compete for

1059
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 4: a wild card spot. But I do think Buffalo is

1060
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 4: clearly going to win that division barring some kind of

1061
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 4: horrific injury misfortunes.

1062
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: But you do have two yeah, and you have two

1063
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,240
Speaker 1: brand new head coaches. Vrabel's brand new to New England,

1064
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: but he's been there, he played there, He's been a

1065
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: head coach in Tennessee. So he seems to me, despite

1066
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: what you said, all the money they spent, he's really

1067
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: the most valuable acquisition for the Patriots in this offseason.

1068
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: Give us your thoughts on Aaron Glenn what he could

1069
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: bring to the table for the Jets given what they did.

1070
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: They're staffing, all the invited retirements they took, I mean

1071
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: they changed the entire landscape of the organization they did.

1072
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 4: Look, they got rid of their front office. They bringing

1073
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 4: Darren Moby from the Broncos, who's highly respected around the league.

1074
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 4: The question, and look, Steve, you played in the NFL

1075
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 4: for a long time. You know this. The question with

1076
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 4: them is always going to start with ownership. If you

1077
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 4: have bad ownership.

1078
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 7: You have no chance.

1079
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 4: You have no chance. You are going to fail far

1080
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 4: more often. The new suct seed doesn't mean you can't

1081
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 4: strike lightning, you know, get lighting in a bottle all

1082
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 4: of a sudden, have a year or two where you're good,

1083
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 4: but you're going to always struggle to sustain it. I

1084
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 4: like Aaron Glenn a lot. I think he's a very

1085
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 4: sharp coach. Like Vrabel played for the organization while he

1086
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 4: was in the league. Is somebody who I think is

1087
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 4: going to come in and be a tone setter, Is

1088
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 4: someone who can come in and be a leader. I

1089
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 4: don't think talent wise, they have anywhere near the talent

1090
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 4: level needed to compete in the AFC. I don't love

1091
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 4: the quarterback room. Garrett Wilson is fantastic. I don't know

1092
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 4: who you look at and say that guy's another big

1093
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 4: time weapon that they have unless you love Briest Hall. Defensively,

1094
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 4: they should be good. I feel like it's going to

1095
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 4: be a lot of what we saw in the couple

1096
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 4: of years with Saala prior to Rogers being there, where

1097
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 4: they hang in games because of the defense, but they

1098
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 4: lose him because of the offense. They can get a

1099
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 4: quarterback after this season, then things maybe start to shift

1100
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 4: if Whatodie Johnson stays out of the way. If not,

1101
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 4: it's status quo with the Jets.

1102
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, your offseason report cards, you gave the Bills a

1103
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 2: B plus. Obviously, we saw a heavy defensive leaning in

1104
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 2: the draft. Six of their nine picks on that side

1105
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,919
Speaker 2: of the ball, including each of their first five selections,

1106
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 2: three of which were defensive linemen. What is your overarching

1107
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 2: view of how the Bills have kind of reshaped their

1108
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 2: roster here in the offseason.

1109
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 4: I think they've done a very nice job. I give

1110
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 4: Brandon being a lot of credit in this sense. You

1111
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 4: know a lot of times when the team gets close

1112
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 4: for a few years on end, that's obviously the Bills have,

1113
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 4: but they don't get over that hump, which in this

1114
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 4: case is Kansas City and the AFC Title Game and whatnot.

1115
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 4: A lot of times I feel like these front officers

1116
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 4: blow it up for the sake of blowing it up.

1117
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 4: They feel like they can't get there, and they packed.

1118
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 4: The Bills have been as close as you could possibly

1119
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 4: be without getting to the Super Bowl over the last

1120
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 4: few years because of their MVP quarterback and because they

1121
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 4: are a team that, even though they lack a number

1122
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 4: one receiver if you will, they have a lot of

1123
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 4: depth on offense in terms of the talent. Their backs

1124
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 4: are fantastic, the line is great. The tight ends. I

1125
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 4: know you want to see Martikan Cadan from last year,

1126
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 4: but their quality tight ends. I understand that every team

1127
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 4: wants justin Jefferson, but the Bills don't need to change

1128
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 4: that offense. They needed to do is find more pass

1129
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 4: rush and really bolster that that corner room beyond Taron

1130
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 4: Johnson and Christian Benford. I think they did that here

1131
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 4: with Harrison in the first round. I like that pickup.

1132
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 4: I think he's a good player. And then they bring

1133
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 4: in the TJ. Sanders, you know, they bring in you know,

1134
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 4: a pass rush on day two where they really did

1135
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 4: as you point out, they addressed that, you know, Landon

1136
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 4: Jackson is a pick I really like at Arkansas and

1137
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 4: that to me is really the way to charge it

1138
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 4: at Let's fit at Kansas City. You have to get

1139
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 4: a pass rush. When they have lost in the playoffs,

1140
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 4: it has been because teams have overwhelmed them up front,

1141
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 4: and so I think the Bills did a very nice job.

1142
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 4: But I also loved that not only did they not

1143
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:10,919
Speaker 4: pull it up, but they extended a lot of these

1144
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 4: guys like Shakir, like Rousseau, I you know, I like Bernard.

1145
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 4: I liked that they did that and they didn't panic

1146
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 4: and just start to shift.

1147
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: How close I mean this is a team that you

1148
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: can look at from year to year and where they're

1149
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 1: up a little bit from last year perception wise, or

1150
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: down a little bit from last year. I mean twenty

1151
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: twenty two going into there or twenty twenty three, they

1152
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: were like, man, they're gonna they're the team, right, They're

1153
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: gonna be it. And then last year they were picked

1154
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: to be third or fourth in the division ended up

1155
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: winning it again. They seem to change their recipe a

1156
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: little bit every year depending on what they've got. What

1157
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: do you think if if there is an ingredient that

1158
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: they're missing, what is it?

1159
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 4: I think to this point it would be to me,

1160
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 4: just that top tier edge rusher, that pass rusher that

1161
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 4: just when that guy's on the you have to account

1162
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 4: for him on every down. That has been the thing

1163
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 4: that in my eyes, has kept the Bills out of

1164
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. I like Greg Grew, so I think

1165
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 4: he's a good player, but they don't have that dominant

1166
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 4: I'm coming off the edge or I'm blowing up the

1167
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 4: middle like Jalen Carter destroys games, Chris Jones destroys games.

1168
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 4: Mattabik a couple of years ago for Baltimore wasn't quite

1169
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 4: the same live but has destroyed games. And they they've

1170
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 4: found ways with McDonald when he was still there to

1171
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 4: manufacturer passers. The Bills went out and got Bosa there's

1172
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 4: obviously injury concerns there. We'll see what he can do.

1173
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 4: I think they're bringing him in and hopes that he

1174
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 4: can do it. Von Miller maybe couldn't. But if I'm

1175
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 4: the Bills, I'm at least throwing numbers at the problem.

1176
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 4: Jackson's the guy I think a lot of people thought

1177
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 4: with gorolier than he did bringing TJ. Sanders on the

1178
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 4: inside place at Oliver. That's the thing for me that

1179
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 4: if the Bills could find that guy who could just

1180
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 4: hay him. Look, I'm gonna win one on one in

1181
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 4: the big moment. I'm beating this guy one on one

1182
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 4: or i am commanding a double team constantly, and I'm

1183
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:07,439
Speaker 4: gonna free up everybody else. If they can find that guy,

1184
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 4: I don't think there's a team in the league that's

1185
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 4: better than him. But that is for me in the

1186
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 4: past and the playoffs, that has been the missing ingredient

1187
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 4: for Buffalo.

1188
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 2: Last one I've got for you, Matt is you know

1189
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 2: you did an overview of the AFC rosters here this offseason.

1190
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 2: Is there an AFC club that you see making a

1191
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 2: sizeable leap into playoff contention that hasn't been there? You know,

1192
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 2: we saw Denver make that leap last year with bon Nicks.

1193
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 2: What's a team that could make a similar leap that

1194
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 2: had a productive offseason, do you think?

1195
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 4: I think that team is what we talked about.

1196
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 2: It was New England.

1197
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 4: I think New England could be that tea. I think

1198
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 4: New England could win nine games, maybe ten if everything

1199
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 4: falls right, because I really believe in the coach and

1200
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 4: the quarterback, and so if you've got those two positions,

1201
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 4: you can win games. They're not perfect by any means.

1202
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 4: They still lack depth in the in the weapons department,

1203
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 4: the offensive line.

1204
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 1: You know.

1205
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 4: I think a lot of it's gonna depend on Campbell

1206
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 4: and how he plays right out of the shoot. Defensively,

1207
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 4: I believe that they'll be better just simply because Rabel's

1208
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 4: there and they did add some pieces. I think they'll

1209
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 4: do well.

1210
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 1: I like it.

1211
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 4: In the draft, I thought the first four picks and

1212
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 4: they're all gonna start. I like him. I think it

1213
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 4: is doing a plus part of that too, is I

1214
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 4: think the Jets are worse, the Dolphins are worse, so

1215
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 4: you might be able to pick up those wins. And

1216
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 4: you mentioned it too. They have a fourth place schedule,

1217
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 4: and if you look at their schedule. It's not exactly

1218
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 4: you know, full of Murderer's row here. So I do

1219
01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 4: think New England could be a team, not that it's

1220
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 4: a contender, not that it's gonna win the division, but

1221
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 4: could be, you know, a seven seed like Denver was

1222
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 4: a year ago and get in the playoffs.

1223
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 1: Last one for me. And he said, Brownie, I'm gonna

1224
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: go to the other end of the spectrum. Which team

1225
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 1: might do it. I'll give you three teams, like a Cincinnati,

1226
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh, and a Miami. Which one's the most likely

1227
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: to implode.

1228
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 4: I'm going to assume that Pittsburgh gets Rogers, and so

1229
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 4: I'll say that I think Pittsburgh will be a playoff

1230
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 4: team or a playoff adjacent play I think they'll be

1231
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 4: big nine ten wins right in there. If I had

1232
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 4: to pick a team that's gonna apply, I say in Miami,

1233
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 4: I just look at the Dolphins, and I don't know

1234
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 4: what is the path for the Dolphins. They're not great defensively.

1235
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 4: They're really not great offensively. If you can handle speed

1236
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 4: at all, the line's gotten worse. Look, I think the

1237
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 4: Bengals are kind of the Bengals like they are what

1238
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 4: they were a year ago, just more expensive now, Like

1239
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 4: the Bengals are gonna score forty points and give up

1240
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 4: forty two. Every game with the Bengals is gonna be

1241
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 4: can you make them punt twice? And if you can,

1242
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 4: you're gonna win. The Dolphins, I think are I would

1243
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 4: not be surprised before sitting here at the end of

1244
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 4: the year talking about if Mike McDaniel is gonna keep

1245
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 4: his job or not. I just don't think they're very good.

1246
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they're on my top three list to implode

1247
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 2: as well, because they are a two or three game

1248
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 2: losing streak away from that whole locker room going full

1249
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 2: rogue and full of mutiny. I mean, that guy's reporting

1250
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 2: late to meeting last year and he would find them

1251
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 2: and nothing changed. So yeah, they're they're top three to

1252
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 2: implode for me as well. Matt, thanks for the time.

1253
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 2: We appreciate it. We'll keep checking your stuff out at

1254
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 2: SI dot com. Enjoy your summer man. Thanks Locke, take

1255
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 2: care all right. That's Matt vert Ram from Sports Illustrated,

1256
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 2: their NFL writer also host to The Matt vert Ram Show.

1257
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 2: So uh yeah, good question.

1258
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: Those are good picks too, Incinnati, They're gonna They're gonna

1259
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: be powerfully upbuilt offensively. He's right, but that's what will

1260
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 1: keep him a f the guy like hendrickson their their offense,

1261
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: their defense ain't gonna get better. No, and yeah, they

1262
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: He's right.

1263
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 2: They didn't invest in their defense the way the Bills

1264
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 2: did this offseason and because of that, to Matt's point,

1265
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 2: they're gonna have a similar problem this year as they

1266
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 2: had last year stopping people right now, gonna be able

1267
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 2: to stop people?

1268
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had They only had six picks in this draft.

1269
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: Defensive end, linebacker, linebacker, that's it. Three of their picks

1270
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: were defense. Yeah, two linebackers and a defense.

1271
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 2: Right, and that defensive end is probably going to be starting.

1272
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 1: Shamar Stewart, Yes, Shamar Stewart. So he's you know, we

1273
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 1: had high hopes for him. He was mocked to the Bills,

1274
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:12,439
Speaker 1: so well, he's the ultimate boom er bust guy, right, yeah, right,

1275
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: he's the guy that was always around it, never in it,

1276
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: I mean really Gift. Yeah, he couldn't You couldn't find

1277
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 1: He couldn't find the ball. That's his problem. But if

1278
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: he did, yeah, he's he's dangerous. But yeah, we'll see interesting.

1279
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 1: Uh to target because Cincinnati is kind of on my list,

1280
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: although I think Joe Burrow with a quarterback and that

1281
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: you kind of think it's not going to happen. But

1282
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's an awkward franchise in so many ways and so

1283
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: many I saw highlights today. There's it's an NFL team

1284
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: that has to walk across a city street to get

1285
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 1: to practice. I'm like, come on, and they don't have

1286
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,920
Speaker 1: they they're just now getting an indoor practice facility after

1287
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: the Bills have had one for thirty years. Yeah, the

1288
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 1: Bills have had for thirty years. Green Bays had one

1289
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: for thirty years. I mean they just got one. So

1290
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: they're weird on so many levels.

1291
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 2: But it goes back to Matt's point about ownership. You know,

1292
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 2: the Jets got a meddling owner and Woody Johnson who

1293
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 2: was consulting his kids, and they're Madden ratings to determine

1294
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 2: who they should acquire via trade. I mean, that's insanity sauce,

1295
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 2: like what are we doing?

1296
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 7: Right?

1297
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 2: The Browns aren't that or the Bengals aren't that different

1298
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 2: because their owner typically has been tight with the purse strings.

1299
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 2: Now he's spending money, but he's doing it all on

1300
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 2: one side of the ball, and apparently the purse strings

1301
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 2: have been tied back up again because there's nothing going

1302
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 2: to Hendrickson at least right now. So yeah, it's bad.

1303
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 2: It's bad. Their investments were a little lopsided. Figure out

1304
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 2: I would draft a couple of linebackers and defensive end.

1305
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 2: We'll we got over there. We'll be fine. And let's

1306
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 2: not forget this too. This kind of went under the radar.

1307
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 2: Lou An Rumo's gone too, their defensive coordinator, who I

1308
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 2: think was instrumental in holding a lot of that stuff

1309
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 2: together until it all hit the fan last year.

1310
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'd let him go after last year because of

1311
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: the sea.

1312
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 2: He was the fall guy.

1313
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was the fall guy.

1314
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 2: Somebody do better with that group.

1315
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: We'll see, Maybe they will, I don't know, but yeah,

1316
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: the Miami is certainly on the list. I'm we're just

1317
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: kind of sitting here and giving those guys the side eye,

1318
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: like we're expecting them to topple at any moment, you know.

1319
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: So and Pittsburgh so much of expectations or if with

1320
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 1: or without Rogers and I'll say this brownie with him

1321
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: and without him, I don't know if I'm giving them

1322
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: the benefit of doubt with him. I watched I watched

1323
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 1: that game seventeen, that week seventeen game last year here

1324
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: in Buffalo.

1325
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got here was bad, I know, But

1326
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 2: you got to remember this the circumstances at that point

1327
01:08:56,400 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 2: in time, Sala had been canned for over two months.

1328
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 2: It was a death march to the end of the season.

1329
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 2: They were already out of contention. You got an interim

1330
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 2: coach who's not going to be there after the season's over. Like,

1331
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:13,679
Speaker 2: there was zero impetus to lay it on the line

1332
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 2: for that Jets team. This year, it's different now. I

1333
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 2: think you can argue, at the very least, Rogers made

1334
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 2: the Jets passing game functional, not prolific, but functional. And

1335
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if Justin Fields is a lock to

1336
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 2: do that, especially in what is going to amount to

1337
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 2: his third new offensive system in three years, with an

1338
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 2: offense that the offensive line should be better, maybe not

1339
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 2: right away, but in time. And he has talented skill positions,

1340
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,480
Speaker 2: but he's not a thrower, right, He's a runner.

1341
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 1: Right, But yeah, that's right. But I'm I'm talking about

1342
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 1: the expectations I've got for the Steelers with or without Robings.

1343
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 2: Oh the Steelers.

1344
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, right, so, because they're one of the teams

1345
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 1: that may for the first time, and they got Mike

1346
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:06,599
Speaker 1: Tomlin who never loses more games than he wins until

1347
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: until you doubt it every year and sooner or later

1348
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: you got to be right, right, but we're never right.

1349
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 1: It spent fourteen years the guy never loses more than

1350
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: he wins. This year, he's got Mason Rudolph right now.

1351
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, they enter right now as it sits, they're gonna

1352
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 2: enter this coast, and he's in without their leading passer,

1353
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,719
Speaker 2: leading rusher, or leading receiver from.

1354
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:28,759
Speaker 1: Last year's team a nine to eighteen.

1355
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you probably you probably it's a wash at

1356
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 2: receiver because you acquire dk Metcalf, So pickens out Metcalf.

1357
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: And okay, might be even better.

1358
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 2: That's probably a wash, maybe a tad better. Pittsburgh running back.

1359
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: They were ten and seven last year they were they

1360
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: were the sixth seed. Last year Denver was the seventh seed.

1361
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:55,480
Speaker 2: That's correct.

1362
01:10:56,439 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: With Russ. Yeah, who's now where is he at?

1363
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 2: Now he's with the Giants.

1364
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: Oh, he's with the Giants, that's right, So he's in

1365
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: New York. I just think Pittsburgh without I don't know

1366
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers is going to swing my pendulum of

1367
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: expectations in favor of the Steelers as much as he

1368
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 1: is for other people. Yeah, I mean he is Mason

1369
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Rudol is taking over Mason Rudel. But I saw him

1370
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: play at the end of last year and that's their

1371
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 1: own again. And now he's a year older.

1372
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't think we can rule it out that he's

1373
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 2: just going to be ABC later.

1374
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: I'm out he might because I'll say this, if.

1375
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 2: He can find out another way to stay as relevant,

1376
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:40,160
Speaker 2: he'll resire.

1377
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's been markedly quiet this offseason, quieter

1378
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: than usual. Yes, I would like to know why.

1379
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 2: Well, it's because he doesn't have a team that he

1380
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 2: can skip many.

1381
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 1: Well, plus he's not in the New York media. They're

1382
01:11:56,120 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 1: done with him. I find that a little bit fascinating

1383
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: that he's been so quiet.

1384
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 2: Maybe he's so Let me let me throw this down

1385
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 2: Broadway to you. What do you think is more likely

1386
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:18,600
Speaker 2: Rogers jumps on board and plays for the Steelers, or

1387
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 2: the Steelers have to pivot and execute a trade for

1388
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:23,639
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins with Atlanta.

1389
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 1: If they executed trade with Atlanta for Kirk Cousins. Their

1390
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:35,919
Speaker 1: expectations for me are higher than they were with Aaron Rodgers.

1391
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 2: Higher, Yes, even after the rough way the Cousins played

1392
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 2: last year he was injured. We found out later he

1393
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 2: was injured, yep, and that contributed to his.

1394
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:48,759
Speaker 1: I think deterioration of my expectations go higher with Kirk

1395
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: Cousins than they do with Aaron Rodgers.

1396
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 2: For the well, better human being, better leader.

1397
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,639
Speaker 1: Guys rally around a guy like that, everybody else plays better.

1398
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 2: Yep.

1399
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 1: Now I don't know what it's going to take to

1400
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 1: get him out of Atlanta and whether the Steelers were Yeah, and.

1401
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 2: There's the issue of money too, like how much is

1402
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 2: Atlanta going to pay right? How much is Pittsburgh going

1403
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 2: to pay on what's left on that deal?

1404
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:12,480
Speaker 1: All that, and maybe that's why you don't hear Pittsburgh

1405
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: jumping up and down, pound on the table, like going

1406
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 1: where are you? Where are you? Where are you? For

1407
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Maybe they are privately, but we don't hear

1408
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 1: about it. So I'm I'm That's where I'm sitting today, Okay,

1409
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 1: I'd for the Pittsburgh Steelers sake for me from one

1410
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 1: thousand miles well five hundred miles away. I'm much more

1411
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: into Kirk Cousins as a better option than Aaron Rodgers

1412
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: at this point. All right, enough, he may be more expensive.

1413
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 4: But.

1414
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 2: Your team might be better off.

1415
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: I think the team would be better off.

1416
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 2: What's the one matchup you're most looking forward to on

1417
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 2: the Bills regular season slate? We know who they're playing,

1418
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 2: we just don't know when yet. But what's that one

1419
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,799
Speaker 2: team that you're looking forward to seeing against the Bills

1420
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 2: more than any other? Eight O three oh five fifty

1421
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 2: one eight eight eight five fifty two the numbers to

1422
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 2: get on board. We'll take a break here and be

1423
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 2: back with your phone calls and maybe even crack open

1424
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 2: the tweets sheets see what you have to say over

1425
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 2: there when we return here. On One Bill's Live, presented

1426
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 2: by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. What's the one

1427
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 2: matchup you're looking forward to the most in the Bills

1428
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 2: regular season? And tell us why? Eight oh three oh

1429
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 2: five point fifty one eight eight five fifty two, five

1430
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 2: fifty that's the number to jump on board with us,

1431
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 2: And we go to Dennis in North Carolina. What's up, Dennis?

1432
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 13: Hey, Hey, krizz Hey see how y'all doing that doing good?

1433
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 3: Hey?

1434
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 13: So I've got two games. First of all, I really

1435
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 13: want to see Buffalo beat Baltimore. I mean that's like

1436
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 13: the best game in my opinion. And the second game

1437
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 13: is uh against Panthers because the region is when I

1438
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 13: first moved to North Carolina, my brother in law he's

1439
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 13: a Panther fan, and he told me then that Buffalo

1440
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,760
Speaker 13: chuck and that they would never be good and all that,

1441
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:20,480
Speaker 13: and every year since then, Buffalo is better than the Panthers.

1442
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:28,600
Speaker 2: And are you guys gonna go to that one together? Uh?

1443
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 13: Well no, because he don't like me, because you know,

1444
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 13: Buffalo and Tennessee is a better team than anything, right, Hey, Chris, Hey, Chris,

1445
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 13: can you tell me how to look up I try

1446
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:46,919
Speaker 13: to look up today the build YouTube and I don't.

1447
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,640
Speaker 2: See that, Okay, So what you can do is just

1452
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:06,120

Speaker 2: that helps. But yeah, just type it in the search

1457
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 2: bar on YouTube dot com.

1458
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: People forget last year the Baltimore Ravens lumped the Bills

1459
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 1: up by twenty seven and week four it was thirty

1460
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: seven to ten or something like that, thirty five and

1461
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 1: then in the playoff game. Don't forget, it was like

1462
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: two drops in a fumble by the tight end Andrews

1463
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens or the Ravens win, they fall

1464
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: by lamar. Yeah, yeah, not just Lamar, but the fumble

1465
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: that Benford caused after Andrews caught the Bernard Bernard and

1466
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: then uh the drop pass on the two point conversion

1467
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: right at the end of the game. But the Ravens,

1468
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: there's no question the Ravens and their fans feel like

1469
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: they gave Buffalo that playoff game last year.

1470
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 2: Yep.

1471
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 1: So, and they've got you know, they've got to they've

1472
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 1: got a grin, you know, they've got an argument. Nevertheless,

1473
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows better than the Bills how small

1474
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 1: those margins are in the playoffs? You know, I mean,

1475
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:17,680
Speaker 1: the Bills are fourth down spot away from having a

1476
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 1: chance to win. The Ravens are a dropped pass.

1477
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 2: Yep, well, that would have tied the game. Bills are

1478
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 2: still getting the ball back after that, right with one

1479
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 2: thirty three left. You gotta think, you know that's two

1480
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 2: those are two games.

1481
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 1: Or that game there. You got to think, man, that's

1482
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Got to be thinking about that.

1483
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm I'll tell you right now.

1484
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a rough. That's gonna be rough.

1485
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 2: The big litmus test for Buffalo's defense is gonna be

1486
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 2: the game against the Ravens and the game against the Chiefs,

1487
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:59,720
Speaker 2: because you spent a lot of assets trying to make

1488
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 2: your defense what you feel it needs to be to

1489
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 2: get over the hump. How much is Patrick Mahomes affected

1490
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 2: with the pass rush? How much is Derek Henry neutralized

1491
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:13,759
Speaker 2: by a bigger, beefier defensive line. Those are two major

1492
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 2: litmus tests for Buffalo's defense on the schedule this season.

1493
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 1: I would make that and I made this argument earlier

1494
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,719
Speaker 1: as well. The Philly game if it would have happened

1495
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 1: like opening weekend, If the Bills get Philly opening weekend.

1496
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,600
Speaker 2: Which they can't, which they know Phillies in the kickoff.

1497
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: Right, Well, they can't. But the story line would have been,

1498
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: what kind of super Bowl would this have been? You know,

1499
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: would the Bills have given the Eagles a better game

1500
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl? Then the Chiefs were able to

1501
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:41,639
Speaker 1: because their offensive line disintegrated at the face of that rush.

1502
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:45,759
Speaker 1: That's the storyline. Now, if this game with Philly happens,

1503
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 1: like at the end of the season, all that's Washington

1504
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna remember that, it's gonna be You're gonna

1505
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 1: have this whole regular season to reframe the narrative. It'll

1506
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 1: be a completely different a completely different storyline for the game.

1507
01:18:56,479 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 1: So whenever that Philly game happens will have a lot

1508
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 1: to do with how we perceive it. Because right now

1509
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about Baltimore and Kansas City, and you forget

1510
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,759
Speaker 1: the World Champions are on the schedule too. Not forget,

1511
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, there's two other games

1512
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 1: that we're looking at just to kind of get there.

1513
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 2: Right, Let's go to Bobby in Buffalo next. Let's up, Bobby.

1514
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, how you doing good. Listen, I'm looking at

1515
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 14: the Bills schedule and you and and I'm looking at

1516
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 14: the question one matchup that I'm most looking forward to. Well,

1517
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 14: first of all, Number one, I think we all look

1518
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 14: forward to the Kansas City Chiefs game because you know,

1519
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 14: me and my soul personally, they just switch to Kansas

1520
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 14: City Chiefs from the a f C West over to

1521
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 14: the AFC East. Okay, because I see the Bills go

1522
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:56,639
Speaker 14: hand to head with them every single year, and every

1523
01:19:56,760 --> 01:20:00,639
Speaker 14: year when those two teams meet, it's it's a battle.

1524
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 14: It is certainly a battle. Okay. I'm definitely looking forward

1525
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,479
Speaker 14: to that. The other game I'm looking forward to is

1526
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 14: the Philadelphia Eels, Okay, because I'm looking forward uh the

1527
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 14: two of those games because you know, when you when

1528
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 14: you have two teams that played in the Super Bowl,

1529
01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 14: the Bills playing both teams that have been in the

1530
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 14: Super Bowl now to me on the schedule, that is

1531
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:31,640
Speaker 14: absolutely great. I mean that, that is so great. And

1532
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 14: another game I'm looking forward to seeing the Bills play.

1533
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 14: I'm looking I'm looking forward to Josh Allen getting revenge

1534
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:43,559
Speaker 14: on Joe Burrow because remember that year when Cincinnati came in,

1535
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 14: and remember that year when Cincinnati came in the divisional

1536
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 14: playoffs and when they beat the Bills. Yep, I'm looking

1537
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 14: forward to that game as well. Okay, I'll let you

1538
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 14: guys answer my questions. God bless have a good day.

1539
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm telling you, man, there is an undercurrent of

1540
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 2: vitriol and hate for the Bengals. And it's not just

1541
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 2: because of the fact that the Bengals have beaten the

1542
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 2: Bills in three of the four matchups that have happened

1543
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 2: in the McDermott era, including the counting the playoff game,

1544
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 2: but it's the way in which the Bengals carried themselves

1545
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 2: through all that garbage. The Hamling game ultimately gets canceled,

1546
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:28,600
Speaker 2: not just postponed, and it throws the league in a

1547
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 2: place where they have to determine proper playoff seating with

1548
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:34,680
Speaker 2: two teams that are in the playoff race who are

1549
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 2: going to have one fewer game played. And the way

1550
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:41,320
Speaker 2: that was adjudicated in the eyes of Cincinnati was unfairly

1551
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:47,440
Speaker 2: because they were winning that game, and then the attitude

1552
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 2: they had just this brash, you know, kind of approach

1553
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,680
Speaker 2: to well, you got to play us, and you know

1554
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 2: we're gonna, you know, do this, do that, and wipe

1555
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 2: the floor with you, and you know, just a very

1556
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:02,720
Speaker 2: braggadocious bravado that they had didn't rub too well with

1557
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 2: Bills fans, and then they unceremoniously wax him twenty seven

1558
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:10,840
Speaker 2: to ten. I think it's left a bad taste in

1559
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 2: the mouths of Bills fans. And then the next year

1560
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 2: they lost the game they in Cincinnati eighteen to twenty four. Yeah,

1561
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:22,400
Speaker 2: twenty four eighteen, and so that only added to the fuel.

1562
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 2: And there is a there is a detectable undercurrent of

1563
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 2: vitriol and hatred for the Bengals and their fans.

1564
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 1: And I'll say this to a healthy level of respect.

1565
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 1: People know they're a good football team. They're hard to stop,

1566
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 1: they're hard to beat, and they're in they're in a

1567
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:43,639
Speaker 1: tough a tough division that's a dog eat dog division

1568
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 1: with Baltimore and Pittsburgh. You go back, the Bills beat him.

1569
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:50,679
Speaker 1: The last time the Bills beat him was in twenty

1570
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen where they beat him twenty one seventeen in

1571
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:57,880
Speaker 1: Week three. That's their only win that e that's the

1572
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 1: only time mc dermott has beaten them, and that was

1573
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. That was when you know Randy Andy Dalton

1574
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,600
Speaker 1: was quarterback for That was the Andy Dalton reunion to

1575
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: us right when he came back and everybody was in

1576
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 1: love with Andy because he ended the drought with the

1577
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd. Let's go for down, let's

1578
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: go all this. Yeah, we're all coming full circle here now.

1579
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: But they're a hard team to beat. People know it,

1580
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 1: and we haven't been able to do it. And there's

1581
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:24,680
Speaker 1: been a couple of things that have happened that have

1582
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 1: added a little gasoline onto that.

1583
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 2: Yep, no question about it. We go to Chuck in

1584
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 2: Hamburg next. What's up, Chuck?

1585
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking forward to the Eagles game. You always

1586
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 3: want to see how you stack up against the champion

1587
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 3: and should we meet him in the Super Bowl. They're

1588
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:45,120
Speaker 3: the only team from the NFC East that haven't beat

1589
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 3: us in the Super Bowl. Have a good one.

1590
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks that, Thanks for that. Uh, but yeah, that's

1591
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:54,880
Speaker 1: the only team that What do you sounded? Did that

1592
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 1: not sound like? Am I too sensitive that Chuck said

1593
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 1: it's their turn to beat us in the Super Bowl? Well?

1594
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 2: I didn't take it that way. I understand why you would,

1595
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,560
Speaker 2: but I want to draw a parallel here because he

1596
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 2: made an interesting point that I think you can lend

1597
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 2: a lot of credence to here because he talked about, hey,

1598
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,680
Speaker 2: measuring stick game against the defending Super Bowl champs, you

1599
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,600
Speaker 2: might play him again in the super Bowl if you

1600
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 2: get that far at the end of the year as well.

1601
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 2: You did that in ninety when you guys played the

1602
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 2: Giants in the regular season. It was largely being billed

1603
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 2: even then as a potential Super Bowl matchup. It ended

1604
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 2: up being so. Granted, some of the players were a

1605
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 2: little bit different, Giants didn't have their starting quarterback. But

1606
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 2: what did you take from the first meeting with the

1607
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 2: Giants knowing full well, if you got that far you

1608
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 2: might see them again.

1609
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 1: Well, you knew we had a lot of respect for him,

1610
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 1: no question, And even in the few short weeks that

1611
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 1: led up to that, things changed a little bit for

1612
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 1: both teams. Certainly, Hostetler was their quarterback, Phil Simms that

1613
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: kind of thing, obviously, But don't forget too that was

1614
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 1: at a point when we absolutely plowed through the playoffs,

1615
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean with fifty one to three in the AFC

1616
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 1: Championship game, right, so we were we were humming and

1617
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 1: supremely confident. So it was a little in the run

1618
01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:26,679
Speaker 1: up to that Super Bowl we had changed a little

1619
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: bit in our attitudes and stuff like that, and I'm

1620
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: sure they had too, certainly with and that was a

1621
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 1: staff with Bill Parcells the head coach, Bill Belichick as

1622
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. Tom Coughlin was on that staff. So

1623
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: there's a few Super Bowls left in that tank.

1624
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,120
Speaker 2: And probably three Hall of Fame coaches. When all of

1625
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:43,879
Speaker 2: a sudden, done.

1626
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 1: And there was and on both clubs, on both sides,

1627
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:47,799
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a handful of Hall of famers

1628
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: playing out there, one of the greatest ever defensive players,

1629
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 1: and Lawrence Taylor and another one on our side, and

1630
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 1: Bruce and Carnas Bennett, who's that kind of caliber, and

1631
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 1: Thurman and Andre and the you know, go down the list,

1632
01:25:57,840 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 1: all those guys. So it was it was one of

1633
01:25:59,880 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 1: the those historic games. It was a you know, the

1634
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 1: ultimately close game. And I think to this day, I

1635
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:06,599
Speaker 1: still think it was the best Super Bowl ever played.

1636
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:09,160
Speaker 1: And I hate to say it like this, but it's

1637
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: really true. The reason I think that was the best

1638
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 1: game ever was because Scott he missed the kick. If

1639
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:17,640
Speaker 1: he makes it's just another game you win. But like

1640
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 1: Adam Vinteri, he's done at everybody. We've seen kickers make

1641
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: the kick, make the kick make you win, you win,

1642
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:25,599
Speaker 1: you win, it's all happy. It was the greatest game

1643
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 1: because Scott missed the kick, and it's unique in that,

1644
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 1: and not that there haven't been other games.

1645
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 2: I remember I was I you know, I was in

1646
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 2: college at the time, and I do remember people saying

1647
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 2: that might have been the greatest super Bowl game ever

1648
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 2: played right after that game, and you say, oh, well,

1649
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,760
Speaker 2: maybe there's some recency bias. There's probably still a fair

1650
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:47,520
Speaker 2: amount of people that would still consider.

1651
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 1: It such it's one of the good ones. I mean,

1652
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: certainly that there have been overtime super Bowls now, but

1653
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 1: they ended you know, a little bit nondescript, you know,

1654
01:26:57,880 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 1: But the Patriots that.

1655
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only one that come the blows to that

1656
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 2: one for you guys, I would say would be the

1657
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 2: Patriots Seahawks one. You know, when they step in front

1658
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:10,839
Speaker 2: of the Russell Wilson pass at the coal line. Certainly

1659
01:27:10,920 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 2: that end and even still there was a minute left

1660
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 2: on the clock for the Patriots.

1661
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: To kill it, right, so that all of that, all

1662
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 1: that goes in to it. But yeah, that's interesting that

1663
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: he brings that up. He's right, I mean, we lost

1664
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys twice. The Redskins and the Giants. Philly's

1665
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,479
Speaker 1: the only team that hasn't seen us in the Super Bowl,

1666
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 1: in the FC and.

1667
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 2: Get there and prevent the NFC. How about that.

1668
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: Let's do that.

01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 2: Moving Systems, official equipment moving company at the Buffalo Bills.

1682
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:32,720
Speaker 2: The one matchup you're most looking forward to in the

1683
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 2: regular season, Jay Biggs says, aside from the obvious case,

1684
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 2: both Patriot games are the ones I want to see

1685
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 2: with digs and all their other moves. I think they

1686
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 2: finished second in the division. I would second that, Jack

1687
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 2: says Carolina, because I think they will be my annual

1688
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 2: roadie for twenty twenty five. I have friends who live there,

1689
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 2: and I'm excited to go visit. Also excited to see

1690
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 2: when New Orleans will be here. I've only seen the

1691
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 2: Bills play the Saints in person once in twenty seventeen.

1692
01:28:56,479 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 2: That game left a horrible taste in my mouth. That

1693
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,560
Speaker 2: was forty seven ten, forty seven to three. That was

1694
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:05,080
Speaker 2: an ugly one. It was very ugly, Alan says Ravens.

1695
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 2: Game two, League MVP is going at it once again.

1696
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,600
Speaker 2: King Henry against it improved Bill's defense could be a

1697
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 2: playoff preview. That is a litmus test game for the

1698
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:13,839
Speaker 2: Buffalo defense.

1699
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, those guys, you just know you're gonna see Kansas

1700
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 1: City and or Baltimore and or both like they did

1701
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 1: last year in the playoffs. If you can get to

1702
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and you got to see how you stack up. Certainly,

1703
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:29,679
Speaker 1: those games are important to win, but it's also important

1704
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 1: to get some scouting information what they see in you,

1705
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 1: so you can the next time you play him, if

1706
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 1: it is in the playoffs, you've got something.

1707
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Christopher says, the Bills versus the Eagles, I would

1708
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 2: like to see how well we stack up to an

1709
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:42,800
Speaker 2: NFC powerhouse. And Vince says, by far, Atlanta, they're always

1710
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 2: friends and family to come into town for this matchup,

1711
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:48,960
Speaker 2: which happens once every seven to eight years. And finally,

1712
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 2: Tom says Bengals, I hope we open up against them

1713
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 2: and win big. Put the league on notice that this

1714
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 2: is our year. Go Bills, Go Bills. Indeed, enjoy the

1715
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 2: schedule release tonight. We'll be back here tomorrow to talk

1716
01:29:58,240 --> 01:30:00,479
Speaker 2: to you all about it at once
