Speaker 5: seeds advancing.

42
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 2: On the AFC side, Yeah, that didn't happen on the nfcson.

43
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 5: No, Washington, Washington, Gut.

44
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: We'll get through the rundown of the playoff weekend at

45
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: just a second.

46
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 5: But in the AFC, all four division champions and Houston

47
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 5: kind of limped in. Everybody thought, I don't know, the

48
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 5: Chargers looked pretty good and he just was not there.

49
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 2: They Chargers charged like they've never charged.

50
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 5: For like Chargers, like the Chargers we've come to know

51
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 5: out of low.

52
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 6: Yeah.

53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 5: They Yeah. It was uh three AFC games that were

54
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 5: lopsided off, all three of them.

55
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 2: And I think it's I think it's the same four

56
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: from last year, same top four sea last year.

57
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: Nothing's nothing changed. Well, be that as it may. The

58
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 5: Bills played an extremely good game against Offensively, they scored

59
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 5: thirty one actually knelt down could have been easily thirty

60
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 5: four if they'd wanted to on the top one of

61
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 5: the well, I think the top defense in the AFC

62
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 5: that's left right, Well, it was left Denver.

63
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: Right, and the Bill scored thirty one unanswered points after

64
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: going down seven nothing. They basically shut out Denver the

65
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: rest of the way, scored thirty one unanswered points and

66
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: scored thirty one points, going one for five in the

67
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: red zone. Think about that for a second. If they

68
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: even go three for five, this is like a forty

69
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 2: eight to seven laugher. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah,

70
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: could have been forty five to seven.

71
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and they the defense as is kind of

72
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 5: their you know, they a little slow start, but shut

73
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 5: them out on the second half. They forced two straight

74
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 5: punts and then got two turnovers on downs and they

75
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 5: just shut them shut them down.

76
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: Right.

77
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 5: Was that was this? I think that was the for me,

78
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 5: that was the story. You know, Josh and this offense

79
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 5: are gonna score some points. And you probably and even

80
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 5: you know, even in this game coming this week against

81
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 5: the Ravens, who are fantastic for ball team and played

82
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 5: really well, and at home against Pittsburgh, the just you know,

83
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 5: both these teams are going to score some points. Yeah,

84
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 5: and Denver just couldn't hang in there, particularly with Buffalo

85
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: strangling the time of possession in this game.

86
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, over forty one minutes time of possession. I didn't

87
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: have a chance to look to see if that's a

88
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: playoff record for Buffalo, but it's got to be right

89
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: up there. So, as we said, thirty one unanswered points

90
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: in route to a twenty four point victory. That's the

91
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: third largest margin of victory in a Bill's playoff history.

92
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: The only games by Buffalo in the playoffs that were

93
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: more lopsided fifty one to three over the Raiders in

94
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: the AFC Title Game in nineteen ninety and the forty

95
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: seven to fourteen forty seven to seventeen perfect game in

96
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: the wild card win over the Patriots in twenty twenty one.

97
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: Run game dominant versus a top three run defense to

98
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: the tune of two hundred and ten yards and a touchdown.

99
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: It was the most rushing yards in a playoff game

100
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: for the Bills since the nineteen ninety five wild Card

101
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: round win over Miami, when they ran for three hundred

102
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: and forty one. Denver had not allowed one hundred and

103
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: fifty plus rushing yards in any game this season until yesterday.

104
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: Running backs again a big factor, and not just on

105
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: the ground. Yes Cook went over one hundred had a

106
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: rushing touchdown. Ty Johnson with a big touchdown, catches fourth

107
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: of the season. Bill's running backs now have nine receiving

108
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: touchdowns on the season. That's more than any other team

109
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: in football for running backs. They also lead the league

110
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: in yards per reception. It's over eleven now after that

111
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: twenty four yard touchdown catch by Ty Johnson. So they

112
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: are a weapon in the passing game, those running backs right.

113
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 5: And it it looks like just what they thought it

114
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 5: might look like, best case scenario before the season started.

115
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 5: So many guys, so many targets. They all come through

116
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 5: when they're called on. We talked about it. There were

117
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 5: four incompletions by Josh yesterday. Keon Coleman was the only

118
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 5: one that had more than one on the targets he got.

119
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 5: He was one catch for three targets. Everybody else was

120
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 5: just all over it. You just I mean, I mean

121
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 5: six eight guys caught passes, Sam Curtis, Samuel's three targets,

122
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: three receptions, Shakir six targets, six receptions, Kinkaid three targets,

123
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 5: three receptions, Ty Johnson's two targets, two receptions. Is like

124
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 5: Knox had three two for three, Cooper two for three,

125
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 5: Holland's one for two, and then Keon one for two.

126
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 5: It's just now they just didn't drop the ball.

127
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Josh went twenty of twenty six passing for two

128
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy two yards two passing touchdowns a one

129

131
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: Josh now has twenty three. It was Allen's third career

132

Speaker 2: playoff game with a one thirty five plus passer rating,

133

Speaker 5: not a bigger deal around the league's because Mahomes is

147
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 5: doing it in Kansas City and Lamar is doing it

148
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 5: in Baltimore. All three of these guys are all timers,

149
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 5: all timers. You're gonna get a chance to see two

150
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 5: of them in the in the game this coming week

151
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 5: in Lamar and Josh. They're both on the Hall of

152
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: Fame trajectory, and they're doing it in the playoffs. They're

153
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: doing it in the regular season. Yes, I mean, week

154
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 5: after week after week after week.

155
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: It's something else. It is something else. Uh, let's give

156
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: some defensive credit to Buffalo's d. They hold the Broncos

157
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: to two hundred and twenty four total yards. Get off

158
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: the field on third down, which had been a persistent

159
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: problem this season. They were ranked twenty ninth in the

160
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: league in third down defense. Yesterday, Denver goes two for

161
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: nine on third down conversions, including zero for four in

162
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: the second half, and the defense, as Steve pointed out,

163
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: had two turnovers on downs on Denver's last two possessions

164
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: of the game. So they get off the field on

165
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: fourth down to boot.

166
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 5: Didn't get at the situation either, never got into a

167
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 5: goal to go.

168
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, special teams eliminated Marvin Mims as a return threat,

169
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: though he did get the fake punt converted. Tyler Bass

170
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: good on kickoffs, even put one in the landing zone

171
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: and it skidded through the end zone to be marked

172
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: at the twenty yard line, not the thirty it was

173
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: funny watching bo Nix going, hey, ref, what are you doing?

174
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: Why are you putting the ball at the twenty. It's like, well, sure,

175
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: when when the ball hits in the landing zone and

176
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: skids through the end zone for a touchback, you get

177
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: it at the twenty, not the thirty. Best of luck.

178
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 5: The only time the Broncos threatened again was when they

179
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 5: doinked the field goal right before halftime to stay down

180
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 5: by three.

181
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously Marvin Mims got lit up like a

182
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: Christmas tree by mac Hollins, who beat two jammers to

183
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: absolutely tattoo him. Yeah, and there's a largin mimst and

184
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: got hit with a personal foul penal.

185
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 5: You can bet Mims had something. Is gonna have something

186
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 5: nice to say about the double teamers come. It's like, dudes,

187
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: how about a little help. Hollins did a fantastic job.

188
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 5: It's really hard. I you know, it's really hard to

189
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 5: do to time it as well as he did. And

190
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 5: Mims got caught a little bit as well. He had

191
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 5: to turn his back to it because the ball sailed

192
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 5: over his head right at the last minute, which it

193
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 5: does once in a while. Was I'm telling you, it's

194
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 5: the hardest job in football returning punts. Mims did a

195
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 5: fantastic job because it was securing the pub secure during

196
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 5: the ball, plus had to turn his back and run

197
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 5: for it towards his own goal line right at the

198
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 5: last second. And of course Hollands just I mean it

199
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 5: looked on I mean, that was an ouch hit. You know,

200
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 5: it's one thing where you can see it coming. You can't.

201
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 5: You couldn't see it. Oh my gouysh it was a

202
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 5: great hit by Hollins, and you're right, he beat a

203
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 5: double team to do it. Fantastic play by Hollands. Special teams.

204
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 5: Was a little bit of a roller coaster Broncos. The

205
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 5: fake punt they had, they downed a punt inside the one,

206
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 5: and then the Bills answered with the hit by Hollins,

207
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 5: which is not a small thing, and then the Shakir

208
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 5: punt return for twenty three yards. Fantastic.

209
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: Six guys missed. That was unbelievable.

210
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 5: He's just he's really he is so really fifty. So

211
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 5: a lot going on in this game, but the Broncos

212
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 5: just could never put anything together, even get into the

213
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 5: Bills end after halftime.

214
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so bo Nicks, you know, he didn't have a

215
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: bad game, just an ineffective one. Rookie quarterbacks now against

216
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott is Bill's head coach are now collectively four

217
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: and twelve, fifty seven percent completion, eleven touchdowns, twenty one picks,

218
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: and a collective passer rating of sixty three point four.

219
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 5: I'll say this, Knicks did not turn it over yesterday.

220
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 2: He did not.

221
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 5: That's that's kind of how That's kind of tough to

222
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 5: win a game. It's tough to win a game by,

223
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 5: you know, twenty four points anyway, let alone when he

224
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 5: got a dead even turnover ratio. Now, neither team turned

225
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 5: the ball over yesterday. That'll give you an idea of

226
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 5: how solid the Bills offense was and how hard it

227
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 5: was for the Broncos to get him off the field.

228
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, they had to be over there. I

229
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 5: don't know if bo Nicks broke a sweat. He didn't

230
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: play enough.

231
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: Bill's did get a couple of players Nick, but Tarren

232
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: Johnson able to return to the game, so that was

233
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: certainly good news. Cam Lewis got nicked at the end

234
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: on the fourth down stop when he knocked McLoughlin out

235
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: of bounds. Short of the marker for a turnover on

236
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: downs late in the fourth quarter, and and then ray

237
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: Davis leaves the game with concussion. Presumably it's a concussion

238
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: because he was examined for a head injury did not return.

239
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: So we'll get more updates from head coach Sean McDermott

240
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: leader this afternoon when he addresses the media. Hopefully Ray's okay.

241
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: Josh Allen was upset about it because he felt responsible

242
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 2: for leading him into a concussion, not that he was

243
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: the one that delivered the blow. I thought the safety

244
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: was kind of moronic to lay that hit on ray Davis,

245
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: because if he pays attention to the football, he probably

246
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: has a shot at an interception, right. Instead, he's looking

247
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: to lay somebody out and it's just like.

248
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 5: You get they get caught up in that because he's

249
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 5: in desperation mode too. He thinks they've got it because

250
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 5: they blew the coverage right, and he's got to get

251
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 5: over there as fast as he can. He's, you know,

252
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 5: he's up to his neck in panic, so he's just

253
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 5: trying to make sure the ball isn't completed and then

254
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 5: you know, and makes the hit. It was going to

255
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 5: be incomplete anyway, Ray couldn't reach it, Josh overthrew him,

256
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 5: and you know, so it was Yeah, I don't know

257
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 5: that I was thinking the guy might get tossed for that.

258
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 5: It was mentioned on the broadcast by the official in

259
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 5: the booth with Nance and Romo that you could eject

260
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 5: the guy for that. I don't know that I've ever

261
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 5: seen it happens all the time in college. It didn't,

262
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 5: but if there was one that ever did, that might

263
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 5: have been it.

264
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: Let's go around the NFL, which is brought to you

265
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

266
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: And this breaking news is just in. Mike McCarthy is

267
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: out as Cowboys head coach, so he is a head

268
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: coaching free agent. He and the Cowboys, according to multiple reports,

269
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 2: now are parting ways. So there you go. He led

270
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: Dallas to three double digit win seasons but just one

271
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: playoff victory. So the search for a new head coach

272
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: in Dallas begins, and another vacancy opens because one closed

273
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Right before kickoff yesterday between the Bills

274
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: and Broncos, the New England Patriots announced surprise surprise that

275
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: they are hiring Mike Rabel as their new head coach. So, uh,

276
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: there were six vacancies, it was reduced to five. Now

277
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: we're back to six with the Cowboys job open. So

278
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: we'll see where the other coaching vacancies go. But one

279
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: is locked up. And I'm just gonna say this right now.

280
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: The next team the Bills are gonna have to worry

281
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: about in their division, not the Dolphins, not the Jets.

282
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,119
Speaker 2: It will be the Patriots.

283
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 5: That's just how I The Patriots are gonna be a

284
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 5: solid team from this point on. Vrabel is gonna They're

285
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 5: gonna be well coached, They're gonna be disciplined, and they're

286
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 5: gonna be hard nosed. They're gonna be one of those physical,

287
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 5: fistfight kind of teams. And you know, this is good

288
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 5: for the Patriots, it's bad for the AFC East. The

289
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 5: guy's a really good coach. He has spent his he's

290
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 5: had an year off in the NFL and for those.

291
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: Of you probably was serving as a consultant, right.

292
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 5: He spent the year in Cleveland's where with Stefanski, just

293
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 5: kind of seeing how they did business, consulting where he

294
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 5: could doing all that. But he's a smart guy, former player,

295
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 5: and he's gonna he's a grinder and his team is

296
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 5: gonna be like that. They're gonna be hard to beat.

297
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 5: So good for the NFL, bad for the AFC East,

298
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 5: and the other team's in it because this guy can

299
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 5: really coach in my opinion.

300
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, other coaching news, the Raiders have requested to speak

301
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: with Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph for their head coaching opening.

302
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: He has multiple asks here in this coaching cycle. More

303
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: could be coming. Denver, as we know, had a top

304
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: five defense and led the NFL in sacks. The Colts

305
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: are going to interview former Saints head coach Dennis Allen

306
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: for their vacant defensive coordinator position. That's supposed to happen

307
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: this coming Friday. And the Browns will interview Clint Kubiak

308
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: for their offensive coordinator vacancy today. So those are your

309
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: coaching news updates. And obviously there's other stuff going on

310
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: that we may not know about just yet, like who

311
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: are the candidates for the Dallas Cowboys that they're going

312
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: to start requesting. Yeah, that's for interviews.

313
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 5: It seems like a late start for the Cowboys.

314
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: In comparison to everybody else.

315
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 5: And then for you and me. I think the best

316
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 5: candidate now just got hired, so they didn't have a

317
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 5: shot at him. Yep, that's we'll see. Interesting job. A

318
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 5: lot of talent on the roster, pretty good quarterback, right.

319
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 7: And.

320
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 5: You know a relationship with the owner, you've got to manage.

321
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 2: Not I don't think the cap situation is too pretty.

322
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: But well yeah, that's not for a head coach to

323
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 2: figure out. That's for a general manager to figure out.

324
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 2: And right by default is Jerry right. Sunday night game

325
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: between the Commanders and Bucks saw Jaden Daniel's rookie quarterback

326
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: lead a fourth quarter drive for a game winning field goal.

327
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: At the gun is Zane Gonzales hit a thirty seven

328
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: yarder off the right, up right end through for a

329
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 2: victory over the Tampa Bay Bucks on the road. Washington

330
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: will now go to Detroit to face the top seeded

331
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: Lions in the divisional round. It's the first playoff win

332
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: for Washington since two thousand and six. It's been a minute,

333
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 2: and I believe the head coach for that team was

334
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: Joe Gibbs in his second go round with Washington.

335
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 5: I think be right.

336
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: The Eagles took care of the Packers, but Green Bay

337
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 2: made it easy for them with four turnovers, three interceptions

338
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 2: by Jordan Love, and a fumble opening kickoff. Still, they

339
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: only won by twelve for an Eagles team that looked

340
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: a bit at a sinc during stretches. Jalen Hurts had

341
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 2: not played in three weeks, having been in concussion protocol,

342
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 2: and he looked rusty. But the Eagles advance and as

343
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: we said, will host the winner of tonight's game. The

344
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: Eagles did lose a key part of their defense. Linebacker

345
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 2: Nakobe Dean suffered a torn pateller tent and that is

346
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: a nine to ten month rehab. He's obviously out for

347
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 2: the remainder of the playoff offs. Saturday saw Baltimore handle

348
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: a floundering Pittsburgh team rather easily. Reports say Pittsburgh is

349
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: sticking with head coach Mike Tomlin despite the fact they

350
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: have not won a first round playoff game in about

351
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: a half a dozen years now. So the divisional round

352
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: of playoff games are set in terms of day and time.

353
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 2: We'll find out who the last participant is in the

354
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: divisional round after the Vikings and Rams play tonight in

355
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: Arizona in the relocated wild card game. As we said

356
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 2: the winner will face the Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon.

357
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: So Saturday four to thirty game is Houston at Kansas City.

358
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: The night game at eight pm is Washington at Detroit.

359
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: And then on Sunday three pm, it's either Minnesota or

360
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: Los Angeles at Philly, and then Buffalo hosts Baltimore six

361
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 2: thirty pm. And they also have the AFC and NFC

362
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: title game days and time set because obviously both of

363
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: those games will take place on Sunday. Those are always

364
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: at three and six thirty pm, respectively. NFC Championship game first,

365
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: AFC Championship Game second, because either way, the more attractive

366
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: quarterback matchup is presumably going to be in the AFC

367
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: because you have c. J. Stroud, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson,

368
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: and Josh Allen lit right, kind of a no brainer.

369
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: So that's kind of where we are in terms of

370
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: around the NFL and the divisional matchups for this weekend,

371
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 2: because tonight we've got Rams Vikings in Arizona, and I

372
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 2: know you have a strong opinion on how you think

373
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: that one is going to go.

374
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I my experience is all the way from when

375
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 5: I was a kid through college and the pros. I've

376
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 5: seen every so often, and the Bills have done this

377
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 5: every so often. You'll get a team that gets uprooted

378
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 5: during the week. Something happens during the week of snowstorm

379
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 5: here in Buffalo, wildfires in southern California. It happened. I

380
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 5: was a broadcaster as one of the wildfire games when

381
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 5: the the Dolphins faced the Chargers in LSU at LSU

382
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 5: in Louisiana. They moved that game because of the fires

383
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 5: in San Diego. Then the snow games in Buffalo, just

384
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 5: name it. When one team gets uprooted and has to

385
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 5: move their whole and the Rams flew wives and their

386
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 5: kids and their dogs and their cats. Everybody's like, we

387
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 5: got to get out of here.

388
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: So they came on and fifty member travel, right.

389
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 5: So they go to they go to Arizona like three

390
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 5: days ago. They show up right.

391
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: And Cardinals set them up at their facility.

392
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 5: Right, So they've got that, and let me just say so,

393
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 5: Then for the Vikings, it's just normal road game up

394
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 5: road playoff game. But still they're they're going to play

395
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 5: in a road playoff.

396
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 2: Game, even though it is at a neutral site.

397
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 5: The Rams are going to romp the Vikings as absolutely

398
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 5: they're gonna chew Well, here's why it's a playoff game,

399
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 5: and the pressure is always on a Now the pressure

400
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 5: is completely off the Rams. They got nine billion excuses

401
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 5: not why they shouldn't win this game. They're traveled, their

402
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 5: families are in, their homes are burning. There's no reason

403
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 5: for them to even play well in this game. That

404
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 5: is a huge burden off of them. Nobody expects them

405
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 5: to be able to play.

406
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the Vikings, how tight are They put up a

407
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: stinker against Detroit, lost the one seed, lost the division

408
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: title because of it.

409
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 5: You know me too, I sometimes I do put a

410
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 5: little bit of overemphasis on the emotion of the game

411
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 5: and what you got to put in on all that

412
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 5: and the end of the all that stuff, the vibe.

413
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 5: Maybe I put a little too much on that. But man,

414
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 5: oh man to this. To me, this this game reeks

415
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 5: of the Vikings gripping hard after a bad looking game

416
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 5: against Detroit, and the Rams are like going, man, what

417
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 5: a relief to get to this game. Let's go, you

418
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 5: know what I mean? That's a big difference. I don't

419
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 5: know how it'll play out, but that's my that's my opinion,

420
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 5: the Rams will be in a perfect mental state to

421
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 5: come out and just let it fly. They got because

422
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 5: those face they got bigger problems, right, and they got

423
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 5: huge amount of excuses. No, and the expectations could not

424
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 5: be lower for the LA Rams. But for the Vikings,

425
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 5: a fifteen win team, man oh man, they they gotta win.

426
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got a I mean, I guess it would

427
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: be a disappointment off of fourteen and three season to

428
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: lose in the first round of the playoffs. Yeah, yikes.

429
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 5: And with two straight losses after a fifteen win regular season.

430
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, that'd be a tough way to go. Well,

431
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: I guess we'll see what the Vikings are made of.

432
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 5: We'll see. Yeah, we'll see tonight. But that's my opinion

433
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 5: on how that goes. And listen, Well, you can tweet

434
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 5: at me. I know I'm probably I'm the last guy.

435
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 5: Don't bet on whatever I say because I'm I'm not

436
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 5: a gambler, but I play one on TV. I guess

437
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 5: do I'm telling you that's the way I think it's

438
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 5: going to go.

439
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice to see that Rams players, coaches, and

440
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 2: staff tonight are going to wear LA Fire Department hats

441
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: and shirts for tonight's game against the Vikings. Proceeds from

442
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: the sales of LAFD shirts and the fifty to fifty

443
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: raffle in the stadium tonight will benefit the LA Fire

444
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: Department Foundation and American Red Cross. Additionally, the Kronkey Family Foundation,

445
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: who owns the RAMS, has made a one million dollar

446
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: donation to the LA Fire Department Foundation as well. So

447
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: nice gesture there by RAMS ownership, Because I mean I

448
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 2: talk about heroes. They're doing life saving work. I mean

449
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 2: whether they're saving homes, save and people saving pets. And

450
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: they've been doing it for about a week now, right.

451
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 2: It's crazy, absolutely nuts out there. So obviously our thoughts

452
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: and prayers with people out there on the West Coast

453
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: who are still dealing. Yeah, it's so when they're supposed

454
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 2: to kick back up again this week.

455
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, there's been a couple of things that have happened.

456
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 5: The hurricane that swept through the southeastern United States that

457
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 5: wipe people out, hurricane that whipped through that whips through

458
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 5: floored on a periodic basis, and now these wildfires. I mean,

459
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: it just breaks your heart to see people standing there

460
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 5: in front of a vacant lot that used to have

461
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 5: their lives in it, their homes, their belongings, their families

462
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 5: live there, and it's just gone. I don't even know

463
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 5: where you begin to even pick up the pieces. It's

464
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 5: just so difficult to sit there and watch people have

465
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 5: to go through this, and and of course that in

466
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 5: the world in which we live, it's it always turns ugly.

467
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 5: But it's just try to be a human being about

468
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 5: it to your neighbors and friends. Man, I thank goodness,

469
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 5: we've never had anything like that happen here knock on wood,

470
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 5: but just I don't know. I've seen pictures, I mean

471
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 5: all of us have seen pictures, and it, uh, it's

472
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 5: pretty moving to watch see how people have reacted to it.

473
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 5: And you see a lot of heartwarming things and you

474
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 5: see some tragic things as well. It's it's it's a

475
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 5: it's it's it's right. I can't believe it's right. Like

476
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 5: the largest metropolis.

477
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: West of the Mississippi and yeah.

478
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 5: And there it is, and it's devastated right there.

479
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: It's it's not good.

480
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Yeah, it's hard to even talk about

481
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: without getting political, right, I want to do that.

482
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: And with Mike McCarthy. Now available reports are already circulating

483
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: that the Saints would be very interested in Mike McCarthy

484
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 2: to fill their head coaching posts. So we'll see who

485
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: they decide to interview in the coming days and weeks.

486
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 2: And as we said, we are back up to six

487
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: head coaching openings. We had six. One was filled over

488
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: the weekend with Verbel going to New England. But now

489
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 2: you have six all over again because it's Dallas, Las Vegas.

490
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 2: Let me just try to run through these off the

491
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: top of my head. Chicago. Who are the other ones? Oh?

492
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: Thank you Tom, much appreciated Tom, Jaguars, Saints, Jets, Raiders.

493
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 5: So now the Cowboys. Do you how attractive does Mike

494
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 5: McCarthy look to you? Not very not with the other.

495
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 2: Candidates out, I think he had one of the more

496
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 2: talented rosters in football. He's got three double digit win

497
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: seasons in his tenure. That's not that's not nothing, not nothing,

498
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: because year over your success like that is coveted by

499
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: ownership in this league.

500
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 5: That's right.

501
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: But I mean, I guess you could look at it

502
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 2: this way. He's done better than Tomlin has. Tomlin barely

503
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: finishes over five hundred and doesn't win in the playoffs.

504
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy does better than that and has one playoff win.

505
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 5: McCarthy's got a call.

506
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: Tomlin can't say that.

507
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 5: The last three years Tomalin doesn't have a quarterback he played.

508
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 5: They did a really well. They were in the midst

509
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 5: of the playoffs, deep playoff runs when they had a quarterback,

510
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 5: even an old Ben Roethlisberger, and then you know, he

511
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 5: goes away and they're giving him Mason Rudolph. I mean,

512
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 5: come on, yeah, I mean, name me a coach in

513
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 5: the NFL who's doing it with bad quarterback play, and

514
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 5: some of them are doing it with good quarterback play. Okay,

515
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 5: quarterback play. I mean give him, give the or whatever.

516
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 5: I listen, Tomin's a really good coach. And that's the problem.

517
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 5: You can coach so well, be a really good coach,

518
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 5: and if you don't have the horses, you're not gonna win,

519
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 5: and you're never gonna because you're a good coach, you're

520
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 5: never gonna be bad enough to get one of the

521
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 5: top guys in a draft class that may be the

522
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 5: guy that saves the franchise. Because your coach is good.

523
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 5: It's a tough spot. You gotta go find one. They

524
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 5: did it. They did a nice jow. I loved what

525
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 5: they did last year. They brought in Justin Fields, they

526
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 5: brought in Rus Wilson, and he pushed the right buttons.

527
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 5: He made the switch at four and two to the

528
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 5: old guy, and it got him into the playoffs, and

529
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 5: it got him back into the relevancy and kept him playing.

530
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 5: He pushed every lever.

531
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: He could push. Well, yeah, yeah, I get it.

532
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 5: Get him a guy. Well, you don't said him to

533
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 5: die because we gotta play him.

534
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, easier said than done. We got to take a

535
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: break here, but we do want your takeaways from Buffalo's

559
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 5: I read that.

560
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: It's pretty crazy, isn't it.

561
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 5: It's been a while.

562
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: I had to check and Matt tour that.

563
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 5: Now they've had like what eleven or twelve playoff games.

564
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but it's been mostly Josh throwing the ball

565
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: all over the yard. I mean, now you have a

566
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: premier back in James Cook who can do that kind

567
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: of thing, and he's doing it.

568
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

569
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: I wanted to double check on that because we announced

570
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: it on the game broadcast. My spotter Mark Murphy had

571
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: that ready to go for us after James went over

572
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: one hundred because I was like, man, I remember Shady

573
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: McCoy having a good game despite the fact that the

574
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: Bills only scored three points in the ten to three

575
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: playoff loss to Jacksonville back in twenty seventeen. Shady had

576
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and nineteen total yards from scrimmage but only

577
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: seventy five rushing. He was basically the whole team right

578
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: in the ten to three loss, and he did it

579
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: on a bad ankle.

580
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 5: It was Shady was a great player.

581
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: It was a gutsy performance on a bad wheel by

582
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: Lashawn McCoy. So didn't get one hundred rushing yards though,

583
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: So we have to get to the phones at you know,

584
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: three oh five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

585
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: two five fifteen the number to jump on board, and

586
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: we do have open lines for you there. If you

587
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: don't have time to give us a call, you can

588
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: always hit u up on the tweet sheet for your

589
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: biggest takeaways from Sunday's wild card win over the Denver

590
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: Broncos and leading us off today is Kevin out in Williamsville.

591
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: What do you got for us, Kevin, You're on one

592
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, Happy Dear Fellows.

593
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 8: Good to have you in. Let's see here. I got

594
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 8: a few things real quick. You know, in postgame interviews

595
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 8: with players or coaches, many times they always talk about

596
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 8: the three facets of the game, the offense, the defense,

597
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 8: and special teams. I'd like to see a fourth be

598
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 8: added to that's coaching, because like the other three, coaching

599
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 8: can make or break in a game. As you know

600
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 8: with regards to the evolution of these teams going on

601
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 8: fourth downs. I like seeing that over the past couple

602
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 8: of years. And I was thinking yesterday before the games,

603
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 8: what else would I'd like to see happen in the

604
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 8: NFL and make it more creative and challenging. And I

605
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 8: was thinking maybe a fake punt, And sure enough, in

606
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 8: yesterday's game, we had a fake punt that was kind

607
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 8: of fun to watch. I would love to see more

608
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 8: of that type of play happen in these games. Leads

609
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 8: into kind of an unrelated question, and this is maybe

610
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 8: more to Steve this time of year or even through

611
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 8: the regular season. Is there a strategy that teams don't

612
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 8: want to show too much of what they have to offer?

613
00:33:54,800 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 8: Dependent upon who they're playing, and maybe using specific plays

614
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 8: later that they don't want to show their cards too

615
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 8: much during a specific game. Probably a dumb question, but

616
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 8: I'd love to hear your feedback and some of this stuff.

617
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, what they do most of the way I understand,

618
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 5: the way I think it works is they get everything

619
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 5: they can possibly do to get ready to win this game,

620
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 5: particularly in the playoffs, because it's not a This isn't

621
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 5: like baseball or basketball where it's best of seven, right,

622
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 5: you get one shot at it. So they've got a

623
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 5: menu of plays that they've got in for that team

624
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 5: in that matchup that day. This isn't like some of

625
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 5: the plays they have that they don't use may or

626
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 5: may not transfer to for the Bills in this case,

627
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 5: to from the Broncos game to the Ravens game. They

628
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 5: may bring some in, probably some different wrinkles and stuff,

629
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 5: so it becomes a different play when they run it differently.

630
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 5: It's all in in football. You're all in plenty of

631
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 5: time to dream up another play for the Ravens that

632
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 5: will work better against them than any of the plays

633
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 5: you drew up to work against the Broncos. The Ravens

634
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 5: have different good players, and they're players at different positions,

635
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 5: which makes their matchup different for the Buffalo Bills offense.

636
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 5: So if you're gonna draw up a play, that play

637
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 5: won't work against the Ravens when it were to work

638
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 5: perfectly against the Broncos. It's all or nothing in this matchup.

639
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 5: So if they don't use a trick play against the Broncos,

640
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 5: it's because they're up by twenty four points, you know,

641
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 5: or the situation or the situation didn't arise. That doesn't

642
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 5: mean they're gonna save it for the Ravens. They got

643
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 5: different plays for the Ravens. Now, they have some plays

644
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 5: in all the time that will work in a number

645
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 5: of different situations, but those are kind of desperate measures,

646
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 5: and you know when the situation arise and when they

647
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 5: feel like they can do it, when they have some

648
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 5: leeway where if it goes bad, they won't. Now this

649
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 5: is also a coaching staff who lost their best chance

650
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 5: to beat this exact Ravens team in the second half

651
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 5: in bolt More by running a Kakamami trick player that

652
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 5: blew up in their face and they had their quarterback.

653
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 5: They had some moment, some moments coming up to that

654
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 5: they were getting back into that game, things were going

655
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 5: to change. They puke on their shoes running a trick

656
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 5: play and they never get the game back and they

657
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 5: never get back into the game after that. So there

658
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 5: is strategy. Yes, there is strategy, and there's tactics about

659
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 5: when you call it, why you call it against, what

660
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 5: team you call it? Uh and but every game is

661
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 5: a universe unto itself, so there really is very little carryover.

662
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: Let's move along and we go to Judy in Buffalo.

663
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: What's up, Judy?

664
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 9: First of all, I want to give kudos the Bills

665
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 9: offensive line.

666
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 10: I think.

667
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 9: This is a positive on this team that nobody seems

668
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 9: to be he's talking about. I can't believe how good

669
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 9: they are. But the reason I called is this, I'm

670
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 9: looking for some hofals. The last time we played the Ravens,

671
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 9: we did not have met Obviously, we didn't have Murray Cooper.

672
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 9: I want to know, were there other players missing at

673
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 9: that time on our roster who have now returned. Give

674
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 9: me some positive plate.

675
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Terrell Bernard did not play in that game, and

676
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: neither did Taron Johnson. Everybody at the second level of

677
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 2: Buffalo's defense was out of the lineup. So hopefully that

678
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: booys your confidence in what Buffalo can do defensively against

679
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 2: the Ravens this time around, because every member at the

680
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: second level of their defense was out Terrel Bernard, Matt Mulano,

681
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 2: Taron Johnson not in the game, they did not.

682
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 5: Play, and Khalil Shakir left the.

683
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 2: Game, was injured injured in the game. Yes, yeah, so,

684
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 2: but listen, that doesn't automatically mean they're gonna win the

685
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: game because they have.

686
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 5: Because the Ravens pass defense was horrid at that point

687
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 5: in the season as well, the Bills couldn't take advantage

688
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 5: of it. Now the Ravens defense is good better on

689
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 5: the back end, their pass defense is much much better.

690
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 5: So it's two very different football clubs after a couple

691
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 5: of months of playing games, getting guys injured, getting them back,

692
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 5: evolving through the season, two very different teams coming in.

693
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 5: The Ravens have every reason to be obviously very confident

694
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 5: about what they can do against Buffalo, even with you know,

695
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 5: four starters in the on the game on the roster

696
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 5: that weren't there before. And the Bills are a different

697
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 5: team as well, so you can take some things out

698
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 5: of that game and take.

699
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 2: Them to the Bank, But both teams are very different.

700
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 5: Both teams are very different, and listen, both teams are

701
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 5: going to be supremely confident coming into this game. It's

702
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 5: going to be a really really good football game with

703
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 5: two really good quarterbacks, two old timers, and two really

704
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 5: good offenses and some defenses that have started to play

705
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 5: with an uptick here of late.

706
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Ravens benched Marcus Williams one of their safeties.

707
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: They put our Darius Washington back there, and then they

708
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 2: have Kyle Hamilton playing more of a full time safety

709
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 2: role instead of a hybrid role, their former first round pick,

710
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: and that has really locked things down in the secondary

711
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: for Baltimore, not getting beat over the top nearly as much,

712
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 2: doing a better job of keeping everything in front of them,

713
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 2: and making more plays on the football as well with takeaways.

714
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: So they have changed as well since Week four. To

715
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 2: Steve's point, let's go to Sean and Lakawana X.

716
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 11: What's up Sean, Hey, thanks for taking my call yesterday.

717
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 11: At the end of the broadcast, I heard you say

718
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 11: that when Buffalo runs fifty percent of the time, they

719
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 11: are thirty four and out.

720
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 2: In Josh Allen starts won in Josh Allen starts. When

721
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 2: they run at least fifty percent of the time or more,

722
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 2: the Bills are thirty four.

723
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 12: And oh now yeah, beautiful, beautiful.

724
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: So you'd like to see more of that, I'm guessing yeah,

725
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: there it is. I mean, look, and you could go

726
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: through the history of football and I remember the stat

727
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 2: we used to always see back in the day was

728
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 2: when you know, the Bills have a one hundred yard rusher.

729
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,479
Speaker 2: Any team at football, when you have a one hundred

730
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: yard rusher, they're twenty four and one.

731
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 5: Like when you're pissed when you're plus two in the

732
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 5: turnover takeaway margin, you you're eighteen and zero.

733
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: But it is I think it's a worth It's a

734
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: stat worth noting only because there was a time under

735
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: Brian Dable where the Bills rarely rant fifty of the

736
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 2: time if ever, right, you know what I mean, Like

737
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: they were they were a sixty to forty team pass

738
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 2: and they were successful doing that too.

739
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 5: You can And here's the thing, because running the football,

740
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 5: the results sometimes aren't readily tangible with yards and production

741
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 5: and all of that, the benefits of running the football

742
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 5: sometimes are hidden in the fact that the defense can't

743
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 5: rush the passer. You got a defensive line. That's that's

744
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 5: like getting sick of bearing up against offensive lineman pushing

745
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 5: them around. You get you gotta make guys got to

746
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 5: playoff blocks. They got to make tackles, they gotta do.

747
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 5: They don't get to drug rush the passer. They don't.

748
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 5: They don't get to do the fun stuff defensively. And

749
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 5: then they look up and all of a sudden, on

750
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 5: the first drive of the game, uh, there's three minutes

751
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 5: and twenty seconds left in the quarter. That just that

752
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 5: you feel like you haven't even had the ball in

753
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 5: So the results of successful running game aren't as explosively

754
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 5: evident to you know, to anybody watching the game. So,

755
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 5: and you don't move the ball as efficiently. You know,

756
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 5: you're not snapping off nine yard plays every single snap.

757
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 5: Sometimes you go seven yards in a run play and

758
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 5: then you go four yards in a run play, and okay,

759
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 5: it's great. It's just not the same, but the benefits

760
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 5: are still real. So and this and these these stats

761
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 5: when you and sometimes you go back and it's like, okay,

762
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 5: you're not going all right, we've only run the ball,

763
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 5: you know, forty eight percent of the time. We got

764
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 5: to get a couple of runs in here to get

765
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 5: it up over six. It's not how it works when

766
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 5: you run the ball half the time, it's because you're

767
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 5: running it and you're having success. If you don't run it,

768
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 5: it's because the other team's beating your brains in.

769
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 2: You can't.

770
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 5: You're beating your head against the wall, and you're always

771
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 5: in third and eleven and nobody wants to be there,

772
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 5: so you start throwing it more and running it less.

773
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 5: So it's it becomes a little bit of a self

774
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 5: fulfilling prophecy. You run it because you can, and you're

775
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 5: going to and you and you squeeze the life out

776
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 5: of the other team, and you don't run it because

777
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 5: you can't run it. It's that simple break time for

778
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 5: us here.

779
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 2: But when we come back, Carl in Toronto will lead

780
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: us off. But we do have open lines for you

781
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 2: at eight oh three oh five point fifty one eight

782
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 2: eight eight five fifty two, five point fifty. You give

783
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 2: us your biggest takeaways from Buffalo's twenty four point win

784
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: in the wild card game over the Broncos yesterday. It's

785
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 2: a Buffalo victory Monday here on one Bill's Live Stay

786
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 2: with us, the numbers that matter presented by the New

787
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: York Lottery backing the Bills sounds grande like the new

788
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: Cronde scratch off games from the New York Lottery with

789
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 2: prizes up to three million dollars. Gambling problem called one

790
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 2: eight seven seven eight hope and why the Bills had

791
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: two hundred plus rushing yards in a playoff game for

792
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 2: the first time since nineteen ninety five their December thirtieth

793
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 2: wild Card game win over Miami. Josh Allen, with six

794
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 2: hundred and nine rushing yards in his career in the postseason,

795
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 2: surpassed Lamar Jackson with six hundred two and Steve Young

796
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in NFL

797
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 2: playoff history for a career, and those two may flip

798
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 2: flop during the course of next week's game. Here in Buffalo.

799
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,800
Speaker 2: Pretty cool got two future Hall of famers squaring off

800
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: on Sunday night this coming weekend in the divisional playoff.

801
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: Got to get back to the phones at eight oh

802
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 2: three h five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two

803
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,959
Speaker 2: five fifty for your biggest takeaways from Buffalo's wild Card

804
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 2: win over the Broncos thirty one to seven. Yesterday, and

805
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 2: as promised, we lead off this segment with Carl in Toronto.

806
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? Carl, You're on one

807
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 2: B Bill's Live.

808
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 13: Hey, good day. Just a couple things. One great game

809
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 13: yesterday after the takeaway the first drive of the game.

810
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 13: First of all, the biggest takeaway for me was it

811
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 13: wasn't more evident than yesterday's game. How Josh Allen's come

812
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 13: into his own in terms of his patience not forcing

813
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 13: things anymore, really matured, and yesterday's game I think was

814
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 13: the best really showcase of that this year. They've been

815
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 13: talking about it all year, but he really showed it yesterday,

816
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 13: not forcing things and really taking control of the game.

817
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 14: I had his pace.

818
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 13: The only concerning thing was the first drive of the

819
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 13: game that Denver goes down and scores so quickly. It's

820
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 13: happened a couple of times this year. If that were

821
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 13: to happen against Baltimore, I think it'd be way more

822
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 13: devastating and more and harder to get back from given

823
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 13: the team that they are. Just thoughts on that and

824
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 13: Josh Allen's growth. So I appreciate it, love the show.

825
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 13: We're here in the North, but we love.

826
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 2: The Bills appreciate it. Carl, thanks for the call and

827
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: thanks for listening. I'll let Steve address Josh's maturity. Yes,

828
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 2: you are facing a greater caliber of opponent in Baltimore.

829
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: I don't even think that's a debate in comparison to Denver.

830
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: Better overall team, probably a more talented roster top to bottom,

831
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: and a coach that's every bit as good as Sean

832
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: Payton and also has a Super Bowl title under his belt.

833
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 2: So you weigh all that number one, and then on

834
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 2: top of that, you look at the Bills and the

835
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:34,439
Speaker 2: Ravens point differential this season they finished tied. Both were

836
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 2: plus one point fifty seven this year. I think that's

837
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 2: second best in the league to only Detroit. But where

838
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: the Bills have an edge is in second half point differential.

839
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 2: They have been a second half team all season long,

840
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 2: first in the league in second half point differential in

841
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 2: the regular season plus one sixteen. No one was better

842
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 2: Baltimore in case you were wondering, plus fifty five in

843
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 2: the second half, good for eighth in the league, and

844
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 2: point differential in the second half in the postseason. Thus

845
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 2: far Bill's number one plus twenty one Baltimore minus seven.

846
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 2: That is second worst. Right now, we still have a

847
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 2: game to play here in wild Card weekend tonight, Rams

848
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: and Viking, So take that for what it's worth. Maturity

849
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 2: of Josh Allen he wanted addressed also Steve.

850
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 5: Sure and decision, no question, Josh is getting better and better.

851
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 5: He's worked really hard at it, and there he is.

852
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 5: He's reached the point where it's his offense now with

853
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 5: Joe Brady calling the plays. He makes decisions now based

854
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 5: on what he sees. And you can see there's some

855
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 5: stuff online too, and you can hear it and see

856
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 5: it when you watch the broadcast what he says at

857
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage. He's in full control of what's

858
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 5: going on up there. He called a zero blitz on

859
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 5: the Kincaid throw down the sidelines that Kincaid may or

860
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 5: may not have caught. Josh called the blitz before that happened.

861
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 5: He said, it's zero zero zero, and he made the

862
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 5: throw down the field to Kinkate on a one on one.

863
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 5: He just knows what's going on, and that's what quarterbacks

864
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 5: do when they're as good as Josh. They know what's

865
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 5: coming before the ball is snapped and they know where

866
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 5: to go with the football, and they know also with

867
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 5: Josh's skills, he knows when to roll the dice, and

868
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 5: that's hard to beat. He also knows, because of that

869
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 5: same thing, when to put the ball under his arm

870
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 5: and take off running. I think now more so, I

871
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 5: think all of us can realize now more so than

872
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 5: any point in his career. As well, he likes to

873
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 5: throw the ball rather than tuck it under his arm

874
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 5: and run it. He used to do that a lot,

875
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 5: and he still does, but he doesn't as much as

876
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 5: he did because he knows where to go with the football.

877
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 5: And now with these guys, yeah, you know, with nineteen

878
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 5: thousand guys out there who are getting open, somebody's making plays,

879
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 5: somebody cutting loose, so he'll he'll sling it.

880
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: So and the fourth and one yesterday is a perfect

881
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 2: example of what you're saying that he could have run

882
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 2: for that first down.

883
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 5: He could have run for the first down. He could

884
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 5: have taken the quick throw to Ty Johnson right out

885
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 5: of the backfield. He could have gotten it to him,

886
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 5: and Tie was one on one with a lot of

887
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 5: space and only two yards to get He could have

888
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 5: gotten it himself there. He could have run for it.

889
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 5: After after he turned away from Ty Johnson, but instead

890
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,720
Speaker 5: he stands back there for almost seven seconds before turning

891
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 5: it loose and hitting the guy in the back of

892
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 5: the end zone. All that's going on in Josh's mind

893
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 5: on a fourth and one and and you're right, in

894
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 5: this play, as good as it looked and as great

895
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 5: as it worked out, he almost.

896
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 2: Messed it up, Yeah, by not just taking the just

897
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 2: taking it.

898
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, by not just taking the first down with his

899
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 5: legs or hitting Ty Johnson out of the gate rather

900
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 5: than wait until he's run sixty five or seventy yards.

901
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 5: Yeah he ran what Yeah, he ran almost seventy yards

902
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 5: on that play. That's all on Josh. And I think

903
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 5: that's as confident as he felt in that moment. You know,

904
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 5: the bill's got to lead there. I think that put

905
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:05,760
Speaker 5: him up twenty eight to seven. It was already fourteen

906
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 5: point leads, so he's like, all right, let's just see

907
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 5: if we can you know. So he had a little

908
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 5: leeway there, He had some margin of error that he

909
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 5: was willing to use up, and of course it worked

910
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 5: out in his favor. But yes, so all of that

911
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 5: goes into the way Josh is playing. Now I'm not

912
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 5: going to restate it. So there you go.

913
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but when we

914

925
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 2: of the Bill's Radio network, Eric Would, also host of

00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 2: the Centered on Buffalo podcast. So Eric, glad you maated

927
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: home safe and sound. Had a long road trip last night,

928
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 2: So good to see that. What's your biggest what's your

929
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 2: biggest pull from this twenty four point victory? If you

930
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 2: had to put a headline on it, what would your

931
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 2: headline be for the Bill's wild card win?

932
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 6: Oh? I don't know how I should have You should

933
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 6: have given me some prep work on that might have

934
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 6: come up with something here, but you know, leading into it,

935
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 6: I think it was a battle of Titans where you

936
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 6: talk about this Broncos defense, who many thought was the

937
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 6: number one defense in all of the NFL, most sacks

938
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 6: in the league, just wrecking havoc on teams throughout this

939
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 6: season at times, going up against this Bills offense that

940
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 6: was second in the league in scoring, their balanced attack,

941
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 6: and you know one was going to prevail in this matchup,

942
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 6: and it was the Bills offense. They put up over

943
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 6: thirty points. Again, they distributed the ball around the field.

944
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,439
Speaker 6: Curtis Samuel is the Bill's leading receiver in this one,

945
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 6: just further proving the everybody eats mentality that they're not

946
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 6: going to have to force it to anybody each and

947
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,959
Speaker 6: every week. And then they run the ball for over

948
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 6: two hundred yards. I mean, that's that's tough to do

949
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 6: in this league. It's really tough to do. In the playoffs.

950
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 6: Defenses are playing at a different speed in the playoffs.

951
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 6: I know, I only got to play in one game.

952
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 6: I noticed it when I was playing by one single

953
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 6: playoff game, but I've also been a fan and watched

954
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 6: the end very closely. I mean, that's part of the

955
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 6: reason rookie quarterbacks struggle so much in the playoffs is

956
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 6: that the speed of the game goes up. It goes

957
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 6: up from preseason the regular season, and then regular season

958
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 6: to the playoffs and then Steve you would know this.

959
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

960
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 6: It may go up even further in the Super Bowl,

961
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 6: I'm not sure. But the fact that the Bills had

962
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 6: this much experience that you know, Yes, they gave up

963
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 6: the big play early in the game, and that was

964
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 6: a design shot. Bo Nicks let that ball go before

965
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 6: he was even past Taylor Rapp. They took a shot

966
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 6: that you know, they took a chance that they were

967
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 6: going to be able to take the top off the

968
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 6: defense on that play, and it worked. But they didn't

969
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 6: get a single point the rest of the way. So,

970
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 6: but the story of this game, you know, to me,

971
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 6: just based upon the strength of the Broncos, is the

972
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 6: way the Bills offense dominated him.

973
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

974
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 5: I think that's the thing I took away from this

975
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 5: game the Bills. The Bills dominated really on both sides

976
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 5: of the ball. The Broncos really had a chance at

977
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 5: ten points in this game. They doinked the field goal

978
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 5: right before halftime. They never got a sniff after that,

979
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 5: And I think that second half shut out by the

980
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 5: Bills is really the story. Defensively and offensively. The Bills

981
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 5: took their foot off the gas at the end. They

982
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 5: could have been pushing to score more points at the

983
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 5: end with a three touchdown lead or twenty four point lead.

984
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 5: I was surprised by that because Denver is a good

985
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 5: football team, and you said it, their defense is no joke.

986
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 5: But the ability and the desire and whatever, the commitment

987
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 5: to run right at that defense and really put them

988
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 5: on their heels really took the fun out of it

989
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 5: for the Denver front, right. I mean, they didn't get

990
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 5: a rush to passer and when they did, I mean

991
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 5: they didn't get two sacks, but they didn't get any pressure,

992
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 5: you know. I mean, sometimes it works better, and I

993
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 5: said this on the live post game, sometimes it works

994
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,439
Speaker 5: better when you get a lot of pressures and don't

995
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 5: get any sacks. Rather you get two sacks and no

996
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 5: other pressures the rest of the game, you know what

997
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 5: I mean. So that's kind of the way it was

998
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 5: for the Denver and I think the Bills just sucked

999
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 5: the fun out of it for him.

1000
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 6: Did and you know, DJ Jones their nose guards excellent.

1001
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 6: They were able to control him throughout this game. He's

1002
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 6: part of the reason that they've been the They were

1003
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 6: a top three rushing defensive league. A big reason for

1004
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 6: that is DJ Jones in the middle, and so they

1005
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 6: were able to neutralize him. So give the offensive line

1006
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 6: and the interior offensive line credit there. Zach Allen is

1007
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 6: also great against the run as well. Those edge rushers,

1008
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 6: they're active, and then you know, when you're number three

1009
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 6: against the run on the season, then you know everybody's

1010
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 6: contributing in some way, shape or form. So give credit

1011
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 6: across the board to this Bill's offense. And the one

1012
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 6: sack Zach Allen got on David Edwards, he beat him.

1013
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 6: I mean that happens in this league. Josh Allen, he

1014
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 6: beat him so quick and at Josh's backside and he

1015
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 6: didn't have a chance to make a move. The other

1016
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 6: one was a covered sack. Josh sat in the pocket forever.

1017
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 6: I thought he was gonna scramble out of there, and

1018
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 6: he just kept sitting in there and eventually the pass

1019
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 6: rush got to him. But all that being said, I

1020
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 6: thought it was an awesome job by the offensive line.

1021
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 6: I mean, I thought that they dominated from the start

1022
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 6: of this game with chunk runs and giving Josh pass

1023
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 6: protection and giving him plenty of time. And also this

1024
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 6: is the number two blitz defense in the league, and

1025
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 6: so based upon frequency, and so not only is it

1026
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 6: a tough physical matchup for the group up front, it's

1027
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 6: also a tough metal matchup, not knowing exactly where those

1028
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 6: guys are going to be on each and every play.

1029
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 6: So it's a it's an awesome job all around.

1030
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 2: And then you know, you look at Josh in the

1031
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: passing game, he only has six incompletions the entire game,

1032
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 2: he goes twenty of twenty six. I mean, I don't

1033
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 2: you know, I'm watching the ball, Eric, So you tell me.

1034
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 2: We knew coming into the game that you know, the

1035
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 2: Broncos play a lot of man coverage. We thought that

1036
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 2: could be a recipe for disaster if they decided to

1037
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 2: stick to that. And I don't recall me ever even

1038
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 2: asking you the question during the course of the game,

1039
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 2: but to what degree did you see Vance Joseph change

1040
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 2: things and maybe go with some more zone coverage.

1041
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 6: They use some war zone, but there was times there

1042
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 6: were certainly times when they ran may and when you

1043
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 6: think about the big pass play down the field of Kincaid,

1044
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 6: the big one down the field to Tye Johnson, the

1045
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 6: long one to Curtis Samuel, those are all Amanda man defense.

1046
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 6: The one to Kinkaid was a cover zero blitz where

1047
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 6: you can hear Josh right before the snap on the

1048
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 6: broadcast say hurry, hurry zero zero said hut. And I

1049
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 6: saw Chase Daniel point that out last night on on

1050
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 6: X and then going back and watching that, how good

1051
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 6: is I mean, that's such good play And that's the

1052
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 6: value of being the two seed and begin at home.

1053
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 6: Because you're from the road, you can't work your guys

1054
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 6: of those things, and so you know, just on a

1055
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 6: side note there, but Kinkaid, that was a cover zero

1056
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 6: blitz and Josh threw it up and let him make

1057
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 6: a play on it's one on one trusting Kinkaid. The

1058
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 6: one to Curtis Samuel was an awesome play design. They

1059
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 6: had four to one side. Curtis Samuel releases they have

1060
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 6: a bit of hesitation on who has who, and Sir

1061
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 6: Tan can't keep up with him coming across the field

1062
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 6: and Sir Tan, I don't know, like people are saying

1063
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 6: this is bad effort by I think Curtis Samuels. You know,

1064
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 6: he knows where he's going, and he hits the brakes

1065
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 6: and Sirtain can't slow down in time to readjust and

1066
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 6: get going the other way. If it is poor effort,

1067
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 6: you don't generally see poor effort from Patrick, Sir Tan.

1068
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 6: If it is poor effort that this is this is

1069
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 6: now the first play of the fourth quarter, and Josh

1070
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,919
Speaker 6: only went on him, I think twice the entire game.

1071
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 6: So it might have been a little bit of boredomo

1072
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 6: on his and just you know, from them going away

1073
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 6: from him over and over. But that's what you can

1074
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 6: do when you got a bunch of different guys who

1075
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 6: can make plays for you, and not just one number

1076
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 6: one receiver that you got to force the ball to.

1077
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'll say this on on Pats or Tan's part.

1078
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 5: He gets over there and and he's way out in

1079
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 5: front of Sanders and gives him room. And I think

1080
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:46,800
Speaker 5: Sir Tan probably thought that the pursuit would not allow

1081
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 5: him to cut back. Both he and the safety are

1082
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 5: way out in front. They just thought, I think they

1083
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 5: took for granted that Sanders are gonna run out of bound.

1084
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 5: Sanders wasn't having it too much space, he cuts it back,

1085
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 5: and both those guys get caught anticipating what the receiver

1086
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 5: was gonna do and anticipating wrong. I don't think it

1087
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 5: was a lack of effort. I think it was just

1088
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 5: a bad read by both those defenders. They thought Sanders

1089
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 5: was gonna soft tow it out of bounds and he

1090
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 5: wasn't having a man. Yeah he uh not Sanders, Sam Sam.

1091
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 2: They thought Sam they were the same.

1092
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 5: They thought he was gonna just soft it out of bounds,

1093
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 5: you know, and not get hit and all that, and

1094
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 5: he wasn't having nothing. So that's, you know, I think

1095
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 5: that's on the defenders, just misreading what a receiver was

1096
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 5: gonna do. Not really a lack of effort. And also

1097
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 5: I got to ask you, but this we had a

1098
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 5: special team's day yesterday on both sides of the ball. Obviously,

1099
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 5: the Broncos do a really nice job on a fake punt.

1100
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 5: They get their look they're looking for, and I was

1101
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 5: get asked what was going on with the gunner on that.

1102
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 5: What happens is you can do it two ways. One,

1103
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 5: if you're particularly if you're singling a guy, you can

1104
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 5: try and get him at the line of scrimmage and

1105
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 5: jam him up. But here's the thing, and within ten

1106
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 5: yards of the line of scrimmage, he's gonna be out

1107
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 5: and running at full speed, and you're that's it unless

1108
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 5: you have twice the speed that guy does, which you're not.

1109
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 5: You're gonna you're gonna block him at the front of

1110
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 5: the punt and then he's gonna be free running at

1111
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 5: the returner at the end of the punt, or like

1112
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 5: the Bills did on that call, they're gonna drop back

1113
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 5: as a single cover and block him at the other

1114
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 5: end of the punt so they could give Shakir some

1115
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 5: space and some room to get a return in. So

1116
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 5: the Broncos saw single coverage, made the call and just

1117
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 5: had the guy break it off and throw it when

1118
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 5: they were gonna block the gunner at the far end

1119
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 5: of the kick. Then they get a down. Nice job.

1120
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 5: They down a punt inside the two yard line against

1121
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 5: the Bills, and then on the other side of it,

1122
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 5: mac let me let me ask.

1123
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 6: You a question real quick on that punt on the

1124
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 6: fake punt, since that was fairly close to midfield, is

1125
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 6: that a situation where maybe you have that guy up

1126
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 6: on the line of scrimmage because you're thinking Shaki is

1127
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 6: not gonna have that much room for return anyways, or

1128
00:59:58,600 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 6: am I Am I wrong in thinking that?

1129
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 5: Well, there's two ways. Yeah, there's always two sides of

1130
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 5: the coin. Yeah, that makes well, it makes sense now

1131
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 5: that you had that play happen to you for sure,

1132
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 5: But also you don't want to have anything, but you

1133
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 5: want to have him as much space as you can

1134
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,919
Speaker 5: at the other end. So the one thing you don't

1135
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 5: want is a mishandled punt, so you want guys protecting

1136
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 5: him down there. Plus if they go down there, you

1137
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 5: have two extra guys or whatever, extra guys if the

1138
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 5: ball is much to get on it. So there's two

1139
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 5: ways to look at it. And then on for the Bills,

1140
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 5: you got mac Hollins beating a double team and absolutely

1141
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 5: crushing Mint on that punt return, and then Shakir having

1142
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 5: a nice twenty four twenty three yard punt return of

1143
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 5: the Bills on their own. So there was a really

1144
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 5: roller coaster day for both special teams groups, good plays

1145
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 5: plays on both sides, and I don't know, maybe it

1146
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 5: turned out to be, I guess a push because even

1147
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 5: after the fake punt, the Broncos ended up punting.

1148
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 6: You know, I honestly give the edge to the Bills,

1149
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 6: and you know more about special teams than you've forgotten,

1150
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 6: more than I'll ever know in my lifetime, just the

1151
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 6: amount of meetings that you sat in and just the knowledge.

1152
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 6: I enjoyed listening to your punt return analysis right there.

1153
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 6: Just I'm not in punt meetings. I'm never gonna be

1154
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 6: on the punt team or the punt return team based

1155
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 6: upon my body type and skill set. So I enjoyed

1156
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 6: listening to that analysis myself. And that was an honest question.

1157
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 6: That wasn't me playing Devil's advocate saying should Matt Smiley

1158
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 6: have done that? I'm just asking is that something you

1159
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 6: generally do? And you know, generally you put one guy

1160
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 6: singing on one side, maybe double it on the other

1161
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 6: at the line of scrimmage on the other. So now

1162
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 6: you're only worried about maybe a fake the one side,

1163
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 6: and maybe you can key in on it a little

1164
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 6: bit better. But you know, Todd Johnson had two returns

1165
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 6: out past the thirty in this game. One I believe

1166
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 6: was to the thirty six yard line, and then Tyler

1167
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 6: Vass had a kick that bounced inside the twenties that

1168
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 6: bounced in the end zone. They get the ball to

1169
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 6: twenty there. I mean, the Bills I just felt like

1170
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 6: stole more yardage in this game than Denver did. Now

1171
01:01:58,400 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 6: when they were able to get the fake punt and

1172
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 6: then back come up on the one that kept it close.

1173
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 6: If they don't get that fake punt there, you know,

1174
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 6: this game gets broken open in the first half. And

1175
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 6: it was inevitable just the way the game was shaken out.

1176
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 6: And I said on the broadcast it was like body

1177
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 6: blows with the Bills in the run game, the way

1178
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 6: they were efficient. Yeah, they had to settle for three

1179
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 6: on their first possession, but they only got three possessions

1180
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 6: in the first half. One started on their own one

1181
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 6: yard line. They can get it out to the thirty

1182
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,439
Speaker 6: nine before they have to punt. The other they drive

1183
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 6: right down the field and they end up settling for three,

1184
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 6: and the other one they score a touchdown. It was

1185
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 6: inevitable that once the possession started stacking, the Bills are

1186
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 6: going to out pace this Broncos defense.

1187
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we didn't even mention the twenty three yard

1188
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 2: returned by Khalil Shakir when he faked about six guys

1189
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 2: out of their shoes. So yeah, there was a lot

1190
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 2: of hidden yardage that fell in favor of the Bills,

1191
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 2: even when they did get backed up on their one

1192
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 2: yard line on that one punt. Eric, I'm curious what

1193
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 2: your take is on the fact that the Bills put

1194
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 2: up thirty one points yet went one for five in

1195
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 2: the red zone. Is that scary proposition for future opponents

1196
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 2: knowing it's unlikely the Bills are going one for five

1197
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 2: in the red zone again. I know they're playing a

1198
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 2: more formidable opponent this week, but they did play the

1199
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 2: number three red zone defense in football, which I guess

1200
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 2: to some degree helps explain their red zone performance yesterday.

1201
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 2: What was your take on their red zone performance and execution.

1202
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's not a concern of mine. With

1203
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 6: this Bill's team, with Josh Allen a quarterback, the red

1204
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 6: zone performance is never going to be a concern of mine. Yes,

1205
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 6: it was not up to standard yesterday. Whether that's maybe

1206
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 6: not you know, utilizing some Josh Allen runs down there,

1207
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 6: I don't know exactly. Maybe you're not showing your good

1208
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 6: stuff when you're you know, later in the game, whatever

1209
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 6: it may be. You know, you can't do that. The

1210
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 6: rest of the postseason or else you'll lose a game.

1211
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 6: If you look at the box score in the postseason

1212
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 6: when everybody's good, show me the turnover differential and the

1213
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 6: red zone touchdown percentage. So not number trips. Give me

1214
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 6: their percentage in the turnovers, and I'll show you about

1215
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 6: ninety five percent of the time who wins the game.

1216
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 6: And so you know the Bills are going to have

1217
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 6: to be better than that moving forward. When you look

1218
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 6: at the Bills are playing Baltimore this week, likely Kansas

1219
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 6: City the following week, and then whoever in the super Bowl.

1220
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 6: If they can make a run that long. You can't

1221
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 6: go one for five in the red zone. But as

1222
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 6: successful as this team's been throughout the season top five,

1223
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 6: I believe in red zone touchdown percentage throughout Josh's career.

1224
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 6: I mean, Rex Ryan talks about it all the time

1225
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 6: on ESPN, and you know he gave some bulletin board

1226
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 6: material to the Texans last weekend. But that being said,

1227
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 6: he generally has some fairly good takes, and you assume

1228
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 6: that he wouldn't talk so well about the Bills after

1229
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 6: he was fired here in Buffalo, But he calls Josh

1230
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 6: Allen the best red zone quarterback of all time. And

1231
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 6: that's a former defensive coordinator, former defensive head coach saying

1232
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 6: that it's not just you know, anybody making a hot take.

1233
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you said as they move forward, Well, they

1234
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 5: are moving forwards. So they got the you know, a

1235
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens rolling into Buffalo this weekend. Certainly, both these

1236
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 5: teams have changed dramatically. Certainly, the Ravens are still the

1237
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 5: engine is still Lamar and Derrick Henry, but their defense

1238
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 5: is playing light years ahead of where it was in

1239
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 5: Week four when they demolished the Bills. The Bills have

1240
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 5: their guys back on the field and healthy defensively, so

1241
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 5: you would think they would put together better performance. And

1242
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 5: the Bills offense is really humming now as well, two

1243
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 5: big time offenses. They are a half a yard apart

1244
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 5: or less than a yard apart in how many points

1245
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 5: they've scored over the course of the season. I mean,

1246
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 5: this is you could see this train coming down the

1247
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 5: track Eric for a month and a half and here

1248
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 5: we are finally. What are you what are your first thoughts?

1249
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly, if you know, Kansas City wouldn't have got

1250
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:47,919
Speaker 6: the one seed. I would assume that this would have been,

1251
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 6: you know, to go to the Super Bowl. Honestly, I

1252
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 6: mean to me throughout the season and these are the

1253
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 6: two most dominant teams. I'm sure the poor differential will

1254
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 6: tell you the same when you look at the AFC

1255
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 6: and so you know it's it's a big time matchup,

1256
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 6: and you know it's a pick em or Bills maybe

1257
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 6: favored by one, and it's gonna be fun. But there's

1258
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 6: just you know, this is a team that got beat

1259
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 6: by the Ravens by twenty five points earlier in the season.

1260
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 6: I don't think they're going in here to this game

1261
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 6: thinking we can't beat these guys. They've had success against

1262
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson in the past. You had Derrick Henry. Yes,

1263
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 6: that's a different factor. The Bills have added talent over

1264
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 6: the years. And there's just so much different about this

1265
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 6: game this time that it's in our stadium. When we

1266
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 6: played them early in the season, you know, look at

1267
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 6: maybe they underestimated this Ravens team that you know, lost

1268
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 6: to the Raiders earlier in the season and squeaked another

1269
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 6: one out. Well, this was the first tough atmosphere that

1270
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 6: the Bill's played in all season. Yes, they played at

1271
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 6: Miami on a Thursday night. The Bills fans till half

1272
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 6: that stadium when we go down to Miami. This is

1273
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 6: their first true road test of the season. Now it's

1274
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 6: at high Mark. You've got a defense that is so

1275
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 6: much different than it was earlier in the season. Guys

1276
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 6: that are settling into their roles and hambling and rap

1277
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 6: were new starters, fairly new at that time. You got

1278
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 6: the whole second level of the defense was out versus

1279
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 6: the Ravens, and we were so thin at linebacker that

1280
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,439
Speaker 6: even if they wanted to run base defense, they really

1281
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 6: couldn't because of their personnel. Now you got you know,

1282
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 6: you got Milano back, you got Bernard back, you got

1283
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 6: Taron Johnson back. Von Miller's playing much differently than he

1284
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 6: was at the beginning of the season. To correct me

1285
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 6: if I'm wrong, that might have been his first game

1286
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 6: of suspension. That or he just didn't play that often

1287
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 6: based upon the game script and you know the personnel

1288
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,919
Speaker 6: usage by the Ravens. So there's so many different facts,

1289
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 6: I mean, and offensively for the Bills, Coleman's developed since then.

1290
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 6: Shaki got hurt in the game, Samuel was still damed

1291
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 6: up at that time. You know, you just have so

1292
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 6: many different pieces this offensive line, some newer pieces, a

1293
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 6: tough test on the road. Mentioned the road atmosphere, communication

1294
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 6: was was abysmal on the offense event for the Bills

1295
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 6: that game that they had free rushers coming all over

1296
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 6: the place on Josh Allen unable to separate from man coverage.

1297
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 6: Now you know, we're back to torching man coverage like

1298
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 6: we were before. So I say all that this is

1299
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 6: a Ravens team that has gotten better and better as

1300
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 6: the season went on. As well. They've I mean their offense,

1301
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 6: You're gonna have to score points against their offense. You

1302
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 6: just truly guess this Ravens team, you're gonna have to

1303
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,799
Speaker 6: score points because they're gonna score points. I mean between

1304
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 6: the weapons have on the outside and their scheme with

1305
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 6: Todd Mounkin. This is also the first time this defense

1306
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 6: played against the Todd Munkin offense with Lamar. Now this

1307
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 6: is the second time that they've gotten to see that.

1308
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 6: It's different from when Greg Roman was running the show.

1309
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:38,759
Speaker 6: And you know their face on the bar in that instance.

1310
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 6: But and then this defense for Baltimore through ten weeks,

1311
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 6: they were towards the bottom of the league, and then

1312
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,759
Speaker 6: after that, I believe they've been the number one defense

1313
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 6: in the NFL for the remainder of the season. So

1314
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 6: they're doing it on both sides of the ball. That's

1315
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 6: why you see these blowouts week after week from them.

1316
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 2: All Right, So last one here, Steve and I have

1317
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 2: had this conversation in the wake of the loss back

1318
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 2: in Week four a few months ago, and we kind of,

1319
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:11,560
Speaker 2: you know, hypothesized, do the Bills, because of the player absences,

1320
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,679
Speaker 2: just go back knowing they have Milano, Bernard and Johnson

1321
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 2: in the lineup this week? Do they just go back

1322
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 2: to being the defense they've always been and not changing

1323
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 2: their spots, or does Derek Henry mandate that you have

1324
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 2: to at least have a package that is unconventional from

1325
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 2: what you typically do defensively to try to neutralize him

1326
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 2: and get the win.

1327
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 6: I think you'd be ignorant to not put bigger personnel

1328
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 6: at least some of the time on the field. Look,

1329
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 6: Taron Johnson, this is documented, He's one of my favorite

1330
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 6: players to watch it in all football. But there's times

1331
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 6: where you need to put Dorian Williams in for Taron Johnson.

1332
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 6: And it's as simple as that if you feel that

1333
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 6: Cole Bishop is a better run defender. For as much

1334
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 6: as he played around the box in college, if you

1335
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,639
Speaker 6: think he's a better run defender, maybe that base package

1336
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 6: include it's having Cole Bishop in there instead of Damarrow

1337
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,639
Speaker 6: Hamblin and you get a better run defender there. Maybe

1338
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 6: it's getting you know, bigger defensive linemen on the field,

1339
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 6: a Dwan Smoot in there, you know, instead of an

1340
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 6: Epins At times you tell me and I'm excited to

1341
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 6: see how it shakes out on Sunday. But teams are

1342
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 6: built differently. I mean, there's a reason that the Bills

1343
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 6: run down defense to get different personnel out there. I

1344
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 6: don't see why you don't run based defense. And you know,

1345
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 6: it's all gap integrity, you know, at the end of

1346
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 6: the day. So I know it's not as simple as

1347
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 6: I probably think it is to switch from nickel to base.

1348
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 6: But when you're a gap based defense like the Bills are,

1349
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:43,679
Speaker 6: I would hope that they'd be able to plug and play.

1350
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 6: And it hasn't happened a ton this year, but they

1351
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 6: have run three linebackers on the field before, so it's

1352
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 6: not the first time they've done it. All season I

1353
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 6: believe it was against New England the first time around.

1354
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 6: Maybe a touch against the Jets. Oh, and I believe

1355
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 6: maybe a har again the lines.

1356
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, right right, all right, Eric, And just.

1357
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 6: Real quick, real quick before I go, Remember we were

1358
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,639
Speaker 6: talking about Chris yesterday in the booth and saying, uh,

1359
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh's effort didn't look great on Sunday night. Like give

1360
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 6: Baltimore their flowers, but Pittsburgh's effort didn't look great. Have

1361
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 6: you seen some of the Patrick Queen and some of

1362
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:22,759
Speaker 6: those dudes out there.

1363
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pretty damning. It's not good as as you've

1364
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,679
Speaker 2: heard players said for years. The film doesn't lie.

1365
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, and there's there's some stuff coming out of the

1366
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:34,200
Speaker 5: players just felt like they were gassed at the end

1367
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 5: of that season. The last four or five weeks. The

1368
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 5: Steelers just didn't have any more to give. And uh,

1369
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 5: they just ran out of gas after playing so hard

1370
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 5: for so long. Uh, they just couldn't keep it going

1371
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 5: to the end of the season. And I think, yeah,

1372
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 5: it's in some ways it had to show.

1373
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 6: Up, right. Yeah, I just want to throw that in

1374
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 6: there because we were speculating about that yesterday. And yeah,

1375
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 6: the tape, the tape didn't lie today with some of

1376
01:11:58,080 --> 01:11:59,639
Speaker 6: the clips that are out there pretty wild.

1377
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 2: All right, Eric, thanks very much. We'll see you up

1378
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:03,599
Speaker 2: here this weekend for sure.

1379
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 6: Have a great week, Enjoy this week, and then as

1380

1381

1382
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 5: And yeah, oh you don't have to tell us that

1383
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 5: is right, sho.

1384
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 6: Appreciate I should have appreciated maybe the game of the

1385
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 6: year a little bit more.

1386
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, these are the gravy days right here here, man.

1387
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Eric, appreciate it. That's Eric Good, Bill's

1400
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 2: week's Efficient Drive of the game is presented by a

1401
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 2: National Grid, A proud partner of the Buffalo Bills came

1402
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 2: in the third quarter one of those long ones, nine

1403
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 2: plays seventy three yards, took five point thirty four off

1404
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 2: the clock and culminated in Josh Allen's hanging around for

1405
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 2: half an hour and chucking it to the end zone

1406
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 2: to a sliding Ty Johnson for a twenty four yard

1407
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 2: touchdown reception. It put the Bills up twenty one to seven.

1408
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:41,600
Speaker 2: And you want to talk about an acrobatic performance.

1409
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 5: Think about this.

1410
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm keeping his feet off the ground away from

1411
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 2: the end line.

1412
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 5: I know, you know, we're one Bills Live, not one

1413
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 5: Broncos Live. Can you imagine the soul crushing site as

1414
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 5: those defensive linemen are out there chasing that guy, can't

1415
01:13:58,200 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 5: get close to him, finally get up there, he finally

1416
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,520
Speaker 5: force him to sling one down there and it's a touchdown.

1417
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 5: That is soul crushing.

1418
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the CBS sideline footage

1419
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:11,640
Speaker 2: as that pass happened, but I'm guessing it was the

1420
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 2: DB's coach for the Broncos. He literally puts both hands

1421
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 2: on top of his head and says, oh my God,

1422
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 2: which Josh will make a lot of.

1423
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 5: It's absolutely crushing to have to give up a play

1424
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 5: like that. And Bill's fans we've done that. I mean, yeah,

1425
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 5: Bills have given up plays like that over the years.

1426
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 5: And think of how soul crushing that is.

1427
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 2: I remember another Broncos head coach named Vic Fangio checking

1428
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:40,600
Speaker 2: Farrain during the forty eight nineteen Bill's division. Clinton that

1429
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 2: checking Farain going like this.

1430
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 5: He's got his call sheet, he's got he schemes it up,

1431
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 5: has a free rusher coming in on the on the quarterback,

1432
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:53,799
Speaker 5: and he's just not He gets there and there's no

1433
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 5: guy's not there. The quarterback's not there, and he runs

1434
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 5: a twenty six yard er into the end zone on

1435
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 5: his defense like untouched, like weaving through like a serpentine.

1436
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 2: Serpentines.

1437
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 5: Yes right, it's and fans is going, what am I

1438
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 5: gonna do? And it's the same thing too when Robert

1439
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 5: sala all the way back when Robert Salam was the

1440
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator for the Niners and Josh they took him

1441
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 5: out in twenty twenty go out to San Francisco and

1442
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 5: Josh is hanging him up on those guys, and Sala's

1443
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 5: sitting down there with a with a surgical mask on

1444
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 5: because it was COVID and he's looking like I got nothing.

1445
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 2: There's because I didn't.

1446
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 5: He made He made like four perfect defensive calls and

1447
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 5: they all went the other direction. They all, you know,

1448
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 5: they completed passes, converted the death. There's nothing they could do. Yeah,

1449
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,839
Speaker 5: that's that is absolutely soul crushing.

1450
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones for your biggest takeaways

1451
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,719
Speaker 2: from yesterday's wild Card. Went over the Broncos and leading

1452
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 2: us off. In this segment, here is Gary on a cell.

1453
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

1454
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 8: Gary?

1455
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 2: Or one Bill's live?

1456
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, I I'll do good good.

1457
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 16: I called you last week about giving U twenty touches.

1458
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 16: I don't know if y'all remember that, like went there Thursday.

1459
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 16: What happened again?

1460
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 8: How I mean he had he had.

1461
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:20,679
Speaker 5: Enough twenty three?

1462
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 16: Yeah?

1463
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 17: Did?

1464
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 18: Doesn't it just look so much better when they get

1465
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 18: him involved?

1466
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? And and coach McDermott has said for years that

1467
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 2: he thinks balance on your offense is the most important

1468
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 2: thing to have. And you know, since since Dabel and

1469
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 2: Dorsey have moved on, I think he's been able to

1470
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 2: get that from Joe Brady and we see the results.

1471
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 2: They've been very, very very good. I mean, they've been

1472
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 2: one of the highest scoring teams in football since they've

1473
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 2: kind of pushed more in that direction of true balance

1474
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 2: with their offense.

1475
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 5: It just puts more pressure on the defense on through

1476
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 5: four quarters of the game where they they never feel

1477
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 5: like they know what's gonna happen. You know, I never

1478
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 5: know exactly whether it's gonna be run or pass. And

1479
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 5: that's the that's the most basic thing about defending an offense.

1480
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 5: Are they gonna run? Are they gonna throw it? And

1481
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 5: they don't they don't know. Yeah, they don't know.

1482
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 2: Let's go to Ryan in Toronto and next, what's up?

1483
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 7: Ryan, Chris Steve Love the show, Happy freaking Monday, Maverage

1484
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:25,560
Speaker 7: Monday for the Bills.

1485
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice to know you're finally breathing easy here, Ryan.

1486
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:31,719
Speaker 7: I am, I am. You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna

1487
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 7: get I'm gonna make you guys believing a little bit

1488
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 7: easier once my segment is done with you guys. All right,

1489
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 7: First of all, I'm tired of all these callers calling

1490
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 7: a bottle. When is this trick play going to happen

1491
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 7: with the Bills? Man, we don't need a trick play, bro,

1492
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 7: These guys are doing what's good right now. Why do

1493
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 7: we need a trick play for right We don't want

1494
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 7: to get in belved if it fails, just like what

1495
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 7: happened against Baltimore in Week four.

1496
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 19: Secondly, Uh, I seen his cats with Lamar Jackson has

1497
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 19: not won two playoff games in the pay in the

1498
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,640
Speaker 19: same year, so that favors the Bills if you ask me.

1499
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 19: And also, I think the.

1500
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:18,560
Speaker 7: Bills are hungry and you know what, they got embarrassed

1501
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,720
Speaker 7: on Week four on Sunday night, and they want to

1502
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 7: come They're gonna come out strong. I love the Bills

1503
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 7: to go all the way to the UH Super Bowl.

1504
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 7: And Secondly, uh Casey Kurdy Casey. They don't play all

1505
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 7: these starts since when uh Pittsburg game since Christmas time.

1506
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 7: They're gonna be rusty against Houston. So I can see

1507
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:42,560
Speaker 7: the Bills hosting the af Championship against Houston in Buffalo.

1508
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:47,720
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, Ryan with some predictions there, he's got

1509
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 2: He's got the Bills beating Baltimore and the Texans beating

1510
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. Okay. You know, for for a caller who

1511
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 2: usually worries about just about everything, things have turned around

1512
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 2: precipitously for one Ryan in Toronto.

1513
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:11,799
Speaker 5: It yeah, well we'll see. All of it could happen,

1514
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 5: no question, absolutely, but let's just worry about the Ravens

1515
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 5: because they that they bring problems on their own.

1516
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 2: I will say the one thing I agree with Ryan

1517
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 2: the most on is that the Bills will be a

1518
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:29,679
Speaker 2: little extra motivated knowing how that last game went. They

1519
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 2: want to prove that that is not who they are

1520
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 2: and they get an opportunity to prove that against the

1521
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 2: very same opponent in an all for the Marbles playoff game.

1522
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 2: To me, that's that's enough to give you a little

1523
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 2: extra juice.

1524
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is. And now, make no mistake, the Ravens

1525
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 5: are phenomenal. They have got it. They put it together

1526
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 5: this year. Kudos to them, their organization, everything, They have

1527
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 5: put it together in a way that is unique and

1528
01:19:56,200 --> 01:20:01,679
Speaker 5: you know, historic, really two generational players in the same

1529
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 5: backfield and they are killing it. They are really playing well,

1530
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 5: and they're gonna they're gonna be a handful. They're gonna

1531
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 5: be a handful, and I and I would agree, it's

1532
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,799
Speaker 5: gonna take both sides of Buffalo's team, offense and defense

1533
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:18,040
Speaker 5: and special teams to beat this team. Baltimore's playing really

1534
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:22,799
Speaker 5: well and they're extremely talented. The Bills get the luxury

1535
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 5: of having it in Buffalo. Bills have lost home playoff

1536
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 5: games before last year to the Chiefs, two years ago

1537
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 5: to the Bengals' It's not a given that that's gonna

1538
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 5: carry in to victory. They've got to play well. They've

1539
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:42,639
Speaker 5: gotta play well on that day. I've set it time

1540
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 5: and time again, and you're right. It all could. It

1541
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 5: could all go Buffalo's way. They could beat the Ravens.

1542
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 5: The Chiefs could get beat by Houston in the AFC

1543
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 5: Championship game, the Houston Texans coming to Buffalo, and all

1544
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 5: your hopes and dreams may come true. It's possible. But man,

1545
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:01,519
Speaker 5: oh man, let's worry about this game on Sunday at

1546
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 5: three thirty in the afternoon for six afternoon.

1547
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to Tony in the car next. What's up Tony?

1548
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 17: Hey, guys, how are you happy New Year?

1549
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 6: To you?

1550
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:13,640
Speaker 17: Great win yesterday. I got a couple of things for

1551
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:18,680
Speaker 17: you Matt Collins. Okay, So if Matt Collins was a musician,

1552
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:21,559
Speaker 17: he would be Ted NuGen And if Ted Nugent were

1553
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 17: a wide receiver, he'd be Matt Collins.

1554
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 2: Okay.

1555
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 10: That's what I'll say about that.

1556
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 17: He's a wild man. And I love the fact that

1557
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 17: they went out and got him, because, you know, a

1558
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:36,720
Speaker 17: guy that was just kind of ordinary anywhere else is

1559
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 17: like almost extraordinary, especially for us, you know, and that

1560
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 17: that that's awesome. My second thing is about these ravens.

1561
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 17: You know, Steve Tasker, you played on teams were you

1562
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 17: guys would have gotten punched in the mouth earlier in

1563
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 17: the year, and you had the teams come into our

1564
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 17: house in playoff time and you guys set the score.

1565
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 17: I believe that this team has got the same type

1566
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 17: of makeup as the teams that you were on in

1567
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 17: those days. And listen, they wanted to ankle tackle us

1568
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 17: last time. They wanted to kind of tackle hard. I

1569
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 17: think we need to return the favor, and hey, you know,

1570
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,680
Speaker 17: to bring a big man down like Derrick Henry, I'd say,

1571
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 17: wrap him on the ankles, and hey, it gets twisted,

1572
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 17: it gets twisted. It's football, man. But I'm just saying

1573
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 17: that they need to really educate the Ravens as far

1574
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 17: as physicality in this game. And that's all I got.

1575
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 5: Let's go all right, Yeah, you're right, it's it's gonna.

1576
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,640
Speaker 5: It's you's gonna to bring physicality of this game, no

1577
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 5: question about it. Their run game is a physical first

1578
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 5: run game. Uh, they're very good at Lamar has always

1579
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,760
Speaker 5: been very good at ball handling, so it's really difficult.

1580
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 5: You don't get like gang tackles against the Ravens. First

1581
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 5: guy to the ball has to make the tackle, and

1582
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 5: sometimes you're tackling a guy that's six four to two

1583
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 5: vity like Derrick Henry and the other one's six three

1584
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 5: two thirty. In Lamar, they're load, each of them by themselves,

1585
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 5: and they make it impossible sometimes to tell who has

1586
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 5: the ball. So all of that stuff gets rolled into

1587
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 5: one makes an incredibly difficult run game to defend. Let

1588
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 5: alone the fact they got an offensive line that's pretty

1589
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 5: good at moving people around. So yeah, they are an

1590
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 5: absolute load. And there was a time too when Lamar

1591
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 5: was leading the league in passing. Now, you know, because

1592
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 5: of the length of the season and Joe Burrow and

1593
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:27,599
Speaker 5: all these teams in desperation started airing it out. They

1594
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 5: overtook him, but he had a fantastic here statistically throwing

1595
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 5: the football. So there's a lot in this game. And

1596
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 5: like I said a minute ago, Josh Allen, the offense

1597
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:40,559
Speaker 5: is gonna have score a lot of points. The defense

1598
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 5: is gonna have to make enough plays, and your special

1599
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 5: teams are gonna have to at least hold their own.

1600
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 5: This game may come down to a turnover here there,

1601
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 5: lost fumble, intercepted, tip to pass, whatever, But you're gonna

1602
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 5: have to keep up with this offense of the Ravens.

1603
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 5: Your defense is as well as they played this last

1604
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 5: week against they can have another effort like that and

1605
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,920
Speaker 5: give up three or four times as many points. You

1606
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 5: gotta play well and you're gonna have to score with

1607
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 5: that team.

1608
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 2: Let's go to Joe in tonawandenex what's up, Joe.

1609
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:17,680
Speaker 14: Gentlemen, mister Tasker, how are you, Sarah good? I was

1610
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 14: at the game masterday. Have the season ticket over the

1611
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 14: last five years. I'm fifty eight Ben of Bill's fan

1612
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 14: since the age of four. First and foremost, I would

1613
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 14: like to congratulate and also continue to congratulate having Brandon

1614
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 14: Bean as my general manager of this team. When this

1615
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 14: started with Diggs being traded, Davis leaving Morris, Poyer, Hoyer, Davis, Trampa, Davias,

1616
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 14: the announcers, the analysts, automatically, we're talking shut the window

1617
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 14: on the Bills. We have no players, et cetera. And

1618
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 14: once again, Brandon Berean Brandon Bean proved them wrong. Not

1619
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 14: only that we still have the second round I believe

1620
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 14: draft picked from the Digs trade this year, we picked

1621
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 14: up Cooper for I think it was a third or whatever.

1622
01:24:56,040 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 14: But again, Brandon Bean put this together way back before

1623
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 14: this season and started knowing what he did was gonna work.

1624
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 14: And here we are joining the ride, loving life right now.

1625
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 14: As a Bills fan today, super psyched about the Baltimore game.

1626
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 14: I got the Bills going by at least seven. I'm

1627
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 14: not worried. I know Josh Allen and the Boys will

1628
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 14: be ready. McDermot will have them ready. And then my

1629
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:21,559
Speaker 14: question is, yesterday watching the game, I was in the stands,

1630
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 14: I'm in section two two five, and when it came

1631
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 14: to the fake punt, I know it was early in

1632
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 14: the game, it seemed as if Buffalo didn't have that

1633
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,839
Speaker 14: preparation for that part to happen, like thinking it wouldn't

1634
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:37,479
Speaker 14: go off because the way it played out, it seemed

1635
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 14: as if the denver because you know, they were gonna

1636
01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 14: pull up pull tricks out of their bags because they're

1637
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 14: not built like the Bills, and they did. And it

1638
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 14: just I got a vibe sitting there like the team

1639
01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 14: maybe wasn't prepared to seeing that happen. I don't know,

1640
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 14: what do you think, guys, go Bills?

1641
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 5: Well, the reason you run a fake is because the

1642
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 5: team has showed a propensity to do the same thing

1643
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 5: every time on a play when they make a call

1644
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:00,719
Speaker 5: at a certain part of the probably in a certain

1645
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:02,560
Speaker 5: part of the few when the punk gets out to midfield,

1646
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 5: the Bills drop their gunners or drop their corners that

1647
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:10,639
Speaker 5: are covering the gunners and turn their back to get

1648
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:14,280
Speaker 5: some space. Uh, the Broncos saw it and took advantage

1649
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 5: of it. The Bills did it enough times in a

1650
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 5: row with the same guys doing it that the the

1651
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 5: Broncos felt confident they could hit the pass. There you go,

1652
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:30,559
Speaker 5: and that's that's really all it takes being ready for that. Yeah,

1653
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 5: you get you just got to have your lights on

1654
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 5: as a player, and you know, certainly taking your eyes

1655
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,639
Speaker 5: off of your guys sometimes a bad idea, But when

1656
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 5: you do it and you get away with it game

1657
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 5: after game after game, sometimes it becomes too easy. And uh.

1658
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:47,519
Speaker 5: And when you get a team in the playoffs that

1659
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 5: is desperate and feels like they need it to happen,

1660
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 5: they need a trick play, they'll spring it on you

1661
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 5: and then they catch you. That's exactly what happened yesterday.

1662
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:58,799
Speaker 5: It was a it was a great call by Denver.

1663
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 5: I thought for a minute the punter overthrew it, but

1664
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:06,799
Speaker 5: the guy made a great catch, and you know it happened,

1665
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:08,720
Speaker 5: so you know, you couldn't recover from it. They got

1666
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 5: the first down, it ended up they that's the punt

1667
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 5: they downed inside the one later they had still had

1668
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 5: to punt it away, so the Bill's defense didn't make

1669
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 5: them pay for it. But it was a fuel position

1670
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:22,519
Speaker 5: grab and and it helped them ultimately, didn't put them

1671
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 5: over the top and get them what they wanted. But

1672
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 5: you're right, they don't run fakes unless they see a

1673
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 5: weakness or a vulnerability or a predictability, and then that case,

1674
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 5: that's what they saw.

1675
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but when we

1676
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 2: come back more of your phone calls on a Buffalo

01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:58,480
Speaker 5: gets old.

1691
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:00,439
Speaker 2: Tyle Williams, your legend of the game yes day. I

1692
01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 2: had everybody amped for the start of that game, as

1693
01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:07,639
Speaker 2: you would expect. I don't know that anybody has ever

1694
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 2: failed in that role because the fans are so ready

1695
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 2: to pop off. I mean, you could have your one

1696
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 2: hundred one year old grandma doing that and people would

1697
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 2: be amped, you know, could be whispering into the microphone.

1698
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 2: We've had her to be.

1699
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:24,679
Speaker 5: Going out of a ninety eight year old former head

1700
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:25,799
Speaker 5: coach do it, and he did.

1701
01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 2: Well, yeah that's right, he was ninety nine.

1702
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's so there. You go, yeah, you're right, they're ready.

1703
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 2: Proof positive, proof positive. There it is. Let's get back

1704
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 2: to the phones. At eight o three oh five fifty

1705
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 2: we go to Jeff and Depew next, what do you

1706
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 2: got for his Jeff.

1707
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:43,719
Speaker 18: Yes, I was just telling the gentlemen that answered the phone.

1708
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 18: I almost predicted that score yesterday. I said thirty one

1709
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:52,560
Speaker 18: seventeen because number one, they were here, the kid was

1710
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:55,559
Speaker 18: a rookie, and heat all do Bill's mafia that well.

1711
01:29:56,760 --> 01:30:01,240
Speaker 18: At number two when we were down in Baltimore, we

1712
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 18: were short players. So now we have a whole team.

1713
01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:08,920
Speaker 18: And if they can hold him to ninety maybe one

1714
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:13,439
Speaker 18: hundred yards total and the quarterback they put a spy

1715
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:18,000
Speaker 18: on him, would be great. And hopefully when we go

1716
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 18: to the Super Bowl and the championship game is here,

1717
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 18: they bring Marveley be back one more time to get

1718
01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 18: the fans rolling.

1719
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:29,960
Speaker 2: All right, Jeff, thanks for the call. The only way

1720
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 2: the AFC title Game would be here is if the

1721
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 2: Chiefs lose this weekend. That's the only way. Yeah.

1722
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 5: There's a lot of talk about, you know, the Chiefs

1723
01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:46,800
Speaker 5: shown up rusty right, like they haven't played football and

1724
01:30:47,760 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 5: like it's been alone since they've had to play in

1725
01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 5: a game that really meant something. Yeah, I don't really

1726
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:53,479
Speaker 5: buy it.

1727
01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 2: They have too long a track records.

1728
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, go by this. I think the buye and the

1729
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:01,719
Speaker 5: lack of meaning in the last game of the regular

1730
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 5: season probably did them a favor. Let's not forget not

1731
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 5: everybody on that roster, but a large number of guys

1732
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:10,360
Speaker 5: on that roster have gone back to back Super Bowls

1733
01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 5: and now they're back in the playoffs, and they they

1734
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:16,360
Speaker 5: needed a break. I would say, so, I would imagine

1735
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:20,200
Speaker 5: the Chiefs might come out and score ten thousand points

1736
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:23,600
Speaker 5: against the Houston Texans thousand. It's gonna be one of

1737
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:28,440
Speaker 5: those games. They're gonna come out sharp, fresh, and finally,

1738
01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:31,760
Speaker 5: after such a long trek, seemingly for them, they're gonna

1739
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 5: play a meaningful game.

1740
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1741
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:36,840
Speaker 5: So that's I think they're gonna probably cut loose more

1742
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 5: than they will show up not ready to play.

1743
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 2: To Joe in Rochester, what do you got first, Joe?

1744
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:43,760
Speaker 16: Hey, guys, how you doing good?

1745
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 17: Good?

1746
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:45,679
Speaker 19: Hey?

1747
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 16: You know, back in the summer there, one of the

1748
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 16: guys that we had to move on to from the

1749
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:56,519
Speaker 16: cap salary situation was Mitch Morse, who I thought played

1750
01:31:56,560 --> 01:32:00,080
Speaker 16: really well and was a solid player on the O line.

1751
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:03,600
Speaker 16: But I think one of the kind of things I

1752
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:06,120
Speaker 16: haven't heard a lot about this year is how much

1753
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:10,439
Speaker 16: better that Oline got, including how much bigger we got,

1754
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 16: which to me had been a concern for some years

1755
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:16,719
Speaker 16: that we were a little small and maybe the center

1756
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:19,320
Speaker 16: position in one of those guard positions. So I think

1757
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:22,679
Speaker 16: that's one of the keys to the success of this year.

1758
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm.

1759
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:25,160
Speaker 16: Wondering your thoughts.

1760
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, two years running, having given up the fewest sacks

1761
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 2: in the league. They did it last year, gave up

1762
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 2: twenty three, did it again this year, gave up only fourteen.

1763
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:36,320
Speaker 2: So it's a nine sack improvement last year to this year.

1764
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:38,280
Speaker 2: And obviously Josh gets some credit for that too with

1765
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:43,559
Speaker 2: his escapability and elusiveness. But yeah, you know, they had

1766
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 2: to make two position changes. McGovern goes into the pivot,

1767
01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:50,760
Speaker 2: Edwards comes on after being the sixth offensive lineman last year,

1768
01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 2: and I mean even Alec Anderson in that sixth offensive

1769
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:56,800
Speaker 2: lineman role for the jumbo packages has been great. And

1770
01:32:56,960 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 2: look they use that on twenty a season high twenty

1771
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 2: two percent of the plays yesterday and rumbled for two

1772
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:07,639
Speaker 2: hundred and ten rushing yards. So they made a statement

1773
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 2: yesterday to everybody else in the league. Hey, we're not

1774
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:13,719
Speaker 2: just all about Josh throwing it all over the yard.

1775
01:33:13,920 --> 01:33:15,760
Speaker 2: We can play bully ball with you in beach. It

1776
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:17,200
Speaker 2: that way too, right now and.

1777
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:22,680
Speaker 5: Going in I mean Josh under center with the I

1778
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:23,840
Speaker 5: formation behind it.

1779
01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Regie kill him I formations like.

1780
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:28,840
Speaker 5: Nineteen seventy three. Again, here we go. Let's I mean,

1781
01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:35,559
Speaker 5: and they just did it. That's big. And yeah, the

1782
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:40,080
Speaker 5: offensive line has been part and parcel of the reasons

1783
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:43,040
Speaker 5: why this offense has been so prolific. Josh, yes, he's great,

1784
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:46,320
Speaker 5: he's not, but they are letting him flourish by giving

1785
01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:48,360
Speaker 5: him time and giving him a running game that is

1786
01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 5: very good. And that's why this offense is as good

1787
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 5: as it is, because that offensive line has is good, talented, big,

1788
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,799
Speaker 5: athletic and healthy.

1789
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely. We are up against the break here,

1790
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:07,519
Speaker 2: so we do have to step aside. When we come

1791
01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 2: back our number three, we'll begin with our Bills team

01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 21: Happy to keep the streak alive heading into the playoffs

1807
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:45,519
Speaker 21: with a win Divisional round up next. Thirty points again

1808
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 21: out of our offense. So fun to watch.

1809
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll kick it off as you borrow a title

1810
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 2: from you know, superhero comic book lore, the iron Man Award.

1811
01:35:57,280 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 22: Iron Man.

1812
01:35:57,840 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 21: It's going to our quarterback, Josh Allen. In the playoffs,

1813
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 21: you need solid performances out of your quarterbacks, and Josh

1814
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:09,479
Speaker 21: Allen did just that. He didn't even waiver when the

1815
01:36:09,479 --> 01:36:10,920
Speaker 21: Bills struggled to score in.

1816
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:11,519
Speaker 22: The red zone.

1817
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:13,840
Speaker 21: The Bills were one for five in the red zone,

1818
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:16,200
Speaker 21: but still found a way to put up thirty one points.

1819
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 21: Alan had success against Denver's pass rush. He finished with

1820
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,000
Speaker 21: a one thirty five passer rating, over three hundred total

1821
01:36:23,080 --> 01:36:27,000
Speaker 21: yards of offense. Of course, two touchdowns, and in these

1822
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:30,599
Speaker 21: playoff games you need your stars to play like even

1823
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 21: bigger stars in the playoff playoffs. Alan did that, and

1824
01:36:34,200 --> 01:36:37,120
Speaker 21: he looked calm. He had a calmness about him in

1825
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 21: the pocket, making passes and taking it on his own

1826
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:46,160
Speaker 21: two when he found room. That throw that he had

1827
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 21: over to Ty Johnson on fourth and one was just insane.

1828
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:53,720
Speaker 21: I mean, the calmness that you have to have in

1829
01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:56,439
Speaker 21: the pocket during a play like that is unfolding. You're

1830
01:36:56,520 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 21: going up against the best pass rush in the NFL,

1831
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:03,160
Speaker 21: on the Broncos, who have sixty three sacks, and your

1832
01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 21: offensive line is doing an incredible job of keeping them

1833
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:09,519
Speaker 21: off you, so you have time to wait, wait, wait, wait,

1834
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:12,000
Speaker 21: here's an open guy. Let me throw it in. Throw

1835
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:13,559
Speaker 21: it to him in the back of the end zone.

1836
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:18,599
Speaker 21: Nails Ty Johnson. I think that summed up perfectly. How

1837
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:21,000
Speaker 21: Allan did his job at quarterback against the Broncos.

1838
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:23,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, this was a game where, you know, the Broncos

1839
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:27,120
Speaker 5: came out of the box shooting. They knew they had to,

1840
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,599
Speaker 5: you know, shoot their shot, and they got that quick

1841
01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 5: touchdown and kind of put the Bills on notice, and

1842
01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 5: that was it. The Bills just slammed the door on them,

1843
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:39,800
Speaker 5: and both offensively and defensively, they got one shot at

1844
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 5: a field goal. They did a nice job right at

1845
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:43,760
Speaker 5: the end of the half getting themselves a chance to

1846
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 5: get three points and tie the game up. Jinked it

1847
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 5: off the upright and they go in at halftime down three,

1848
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:51,400
Speaker 5: and then the Bills never looked back.

1849
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:51,760
Speaker 2: It was.

1850
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:54,639
Speaker 5: It was all Bills all the time in the second

1851
01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:55,200
Speaker 5: half of this game.

1852
01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty one unanswered points. All right, mister electric award.

1853
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:00,720
Speaker 22: Mister electric.

1854
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 21: When Ty Johnson enters the game at running back, something

1855
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 21: electric is going to happen. It happened yesterday on that

1856
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 21: fourth and one play when Johnson found a way to

1857
01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 21: get open in the back of the end zone and

1858
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:17,640
Speaker 21: catch a pass from Josh Allen, a touchdown pass. He

1859
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:23,000
Speaker 21: had incredible body control finding a way to catch that

1860
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 21: ball as it was heading toward the ground and then

1861
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:28,280
Speaker 21: also making sure that hey, my body's not going out

1862
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:32,680
Speaker 21: of bounds here. I thought his play was just so

1863
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:35,679
Speaker 21: much fun to watch. He's way more than a third

1864
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:40,360
Speaker 21: down back. He had seventy scrimmage yards in yesterday's playoff game.

1865
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:43,559
Speaker 21: He's got the hair, he's got the tattoos, he's got

1866
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 21: the earrings, and those looks need to fit your play.

1867
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 21: If you're gonna be a player who's out there with

1868
01:38:49,160 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 21: the big hair with the tattoos, you gotta play like

1869
01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:55,720
Speaker 21: it on the field. And Ty Johnson does that when

1870
01:38:55,760 --> 01:38:56,559
Speaker 21: he's in the game.

1871
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeh. And really the role that he's carved out

1872
01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 2: for himself is the teams, you know, third down back

1873
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:04,639
Speaker 2: and all the different ways in which he's been used.

1874
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 2: That's his fourth receiving touchdown to the season. I mean,

1875
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 2: he has been an expert catcher out of the back.

1876
01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:11,000
Speaker 5: The world'll be a better place if we all had

1877
01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:13,320
Speaker 5: somebody to talk so nice about us as Josh Adam

1878
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:14,320
Speaker 5: talks about Ty Johnson.

1879
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:15,120
Speaker 22: Yeah, exactly.

1880
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:18,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. Next one up, domination station.

1881
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 22: Domination station.

1882
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:23,120
Speaker 21: It's going to our offensive line and our running back,

1883
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:23,920
Speaker 21: James Cook.

1884
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:25,759
Speaker 22: They dominated this game.

1885
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 21: The storyline heading into this one was Denver's got the

1886
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:33,120
Speaker 21: best pass rush. They've got sixty three sacks, they're the

1887
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:35,679
Speaker 21: third best against the run. They allow under one hundred

1888
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:38,839
Speaker 21: rushing yards per game, and James Cook in the offensive

1889
01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 21: line said hold my beer because watch this is gonna happen.

1890
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:44,559
Speaker 21: And James Cook goes off for more than one hundred

1891
01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:47,280
Speaker 21: yards on the ground. The offensive line, I think had

1892
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:51,439
Speaker 21: one of their best performances of the season, giving Josh

1893
01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:53,960
Speaker 21: Allen the time he needed in the pocket, opening up

1894
01:39:54,200 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 21: lots of running lines for James Cook, Ray Davis, and

1895
01:39:57,240 --> 01:40:00,640
Speaker 21: Ty Johnson. The old line was in lock step with

1896
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:03,440
Speaker 21: each other yesterday. You could see that with their communication

1897
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:05,400
Speaker 21: on the field. You could see that with how the

1898
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:08,200
Speaker 21: pocket was clean for most of this game. Allen got

1899
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:11,080
Speaker 21: sacked twice, but this was the defensive line who was

1900
01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 21: averaging more than two sacks per game. I think the

1901
01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:17,639
Speaker 21: offensive line played fantastic. You're gonna need that out of them.

1902
01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:20,400
Speaker 21: Going into a game against the Ravens, where the Ravens

1903
01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:24,719
Speaker 21: defense finished the regular season as the best run defense

1904
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 21: in the NFL, allowing about eighty rushing yards per game,

1905
01:40:28,040 --> 01:40:30,599
Speaker 21: the Bills finished with two to ten against the third

1906
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 21: best run defense in the League.

1907
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Denver was averaging three and a half sacks a game,

1908
01:40:35,240 --> 01:40:37,880
Speaker 2: to be exact, and they only got two yesterday. One

1909
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 2: was a coverage sack where Josh just hang on hung

1910
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 2: on to the football too long. I can't remember the

1911
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,639
Speaker 2: other one quite as well as that one, but yeah,

1912
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,760
Speaker 2: it was a good performance for sure. And yeah, to

1913
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,000
Speaker 2: run for over two hundred against the defense.

1914
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 5: Their defensive tackle Allen beat David Edwards off the right

1915
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 5: up up the middle. That was early in the game

1916
01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:57,760
Speaker 5: that we got. That was not a coverage sack. That

1917
01:40:57,840 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 5: was a really good pass rush by good defense tackle

1918
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:04,240
Speaker 5: the one good play. But yeah, the Bills offensive line

1919
01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 5: has I think now with this game yesterday and obviously

1920
01:41:08,200 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 5: throughout the season, is starting to get some attention from

1921
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 5: people who aren't just like us.

1922
01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:16,599
Speaker 21: Yeah, more than the Bills fan for sure.

1923
01:41:16,680 --> 01:41:19,799
Speaker 2: All Right, from reality TV Fame the Top Chef.

1924
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 21: Award Top Chef. I was a big fan of the

1925
01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:23,400
Speaker 21: show as a kid. I used to watch it all

1926
01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:25,519
Speaker 21: the time with my parents. I don't watch it anymore,

1927
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:26,760
Speaker 21: but you know.

1928
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 22: Give some love Top Chef here.

1929
01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:31,360
Speaker 21: Top Chef Award is going to Joe Brady for the

1930
01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:35,640
Speaker 21: game plan that he cooked up against Denver's defense not

1931
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 21: an easy defense to prepare for. As we said, they

1932
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 21: ranked high in several categories coming into this game, and

1933
01:41:44,200 --> 01:41:47,160
Speaker 21: Joe Brady found ways to find wins against some of

1934
01:41:47,160 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 21: their strengths. I don't think a lot of us thought, Hey,

1935
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 21: the Bills are going to run the ball time after

1936
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:55,880
Speaker 21: time after time. They're just gonna run the ball all

1937
01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:59,600
Speaker 21: the time against this Denver's Broncos defense, that's one of

1938
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:01,479
Speaker 21: the best run defenses in the league.

1939
01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 22: They did exactly that.

1940
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 21: Sean McDermott spoke to media after this game and he said,

1941
01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:10,880
Speaker 21: the Broncos have a specific front that they use a lot,

1942
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:14,000
Speaker 21: and I think Joe Brady took advantage of knowing the

1943
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:17,519
Speaker 21: Broncos were going to use whatever front it was and

1944
01:42:17,560 --> 01:42:21,040
Speaker 21: took advantage of, hey, we're gonna find wins against this front,

1945
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:23,920
Speaker 21: and they did that. I also love that Joe Brady

1946
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:26,600
Speaker 21: got several different players involved.

1947
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:28,480
Speaker 22: It's what we saw all regular.

1948
01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:31,280
Speaker 21: Season and it's what's gonna set this team apart from

1949
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:34,519
Speaker 21: others in the playoffs. Curtis Samuel is your leading receiver.

1950
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:38,559
Speaker 21: Dawson Knox had some fantastic catches in there. Ty Johnson

1951
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:40,640
Speaker 21: was a big player in this one. And then the

1952
01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 21: fact that Brady trusts Josh Allen and Ty Johnson to

1953
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:46,599
Speaker 21: do what they did on that fourth and one play.

1954
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 21: It was fourth and one, the game was on the

1955
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:51,799
Speaker 21: line at this point thirteen to seven, and they didn't

1956
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:55,639
Speaker 21: just push Josh Allen over the pile for a first down.

1957
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:58,280
Speaker 21: They went for the touchdown. And I think that says

1958
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 21: a lot about the trust that bray he has in

1959
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:01,639
Speaker 21: his offense.

1960
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:04,799
Speaker 2: I took particular pleasure in watching Sean Payton screaming advance

1961
01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:07,200
Speaker 2: Joseph on more than one occasion on the sideline during

1962
01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:09,960
Speaker 2: the course of that game, because he clearly wasn't happy

1963
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 2: with the defensive performance by the Broncos in that one.

1964
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:15,600
Speaker 2: The hats off award.

1965
01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:19,040
Speaker 21: Is next hats off, It's going to our receiver, Curtis Samuel.

1966
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 21: Samuel has had a tough season in and out of

1967
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,680
Speaker 21: the lineup all year due to a slew of injuries,

1968
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 21: and Samuel stuck with it, put his head down and

1969
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:29,639
Speaker 21: saw the.

1970
01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:32,000
Speaker 22: Fruit of his labors. Yesterday.

1971
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:36,599
Speaker 21: He led receivers three catches, sixty eight receiving yards, which

1972
01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:40,120
Speaker 21: targeted just three times, caught all of those targets. He

1973
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:42,920
Speaker 21: had that fifty five yard touchdown catch and run. That

1974
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:45,439
Speaker 21: was a lot of fun to watch. And you heard

1975
01:43:45,479 --> 01:43:49,240
Speaker 21: his teammates talk about him after the game, saying, Samuel

1976
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:52,200
Speaker 21: probably hasn't had the season that he wanted, but look

1977
01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:54,479
Speaker 21: at the work that he's put in when nobody has

1978
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:57,120
Speaker 21: been watching, and then you see it on the field

1979
01:43:57,160 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 21: in a playoff game.

1980
01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Coach McDermott even said, you know, he was a

1981
01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:04,280
Speaker 2: guy that needed to play last week against New England

1982
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:06,600
Speaker 2: to kind of get back up to speed, and he

1983
01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 2: finished that game as the leading receiver. It's seven catches

1984
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:11,400
Speaker 2: for fifty two yards against New England. Granted it's in

1985
01:44:11,439 --> 01:44:13,320
Speaker 2: a loss and probably not a lot of people were

1986
01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 2: paying attention, but I really think he needed that kind

1987
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 2: of a day to be ready for playoff football and

1988
01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:19,720
Speaker 2: he clearly was.

1989
01:44:19,840 --> 01:44:22,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, certainly. And you know the contributions that everybody got,

1990
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:25,800
Speaker 5: and we went over from earlier, there were four five

1991
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:32,320
Speaker 5: guys who got targeted that caught every target. Samuel, Shakir, Kincaid, Knox,

1992
01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 5: and Ty Johnson caught every pass that they got thrown to.

1993
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:38,639
Speaker 5: And that makes for a pretty productive day for your quarterback.

1994
01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:41,400
Speaker 23: Yeah, the bullies award the bullies.

1995
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 21: It's going to our third down defense all week in

1996
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:48,760
Speaker 21: preparation for the first round of the playoffs, the defense

1997
01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:53,720
Speaker 21: Sean McDermott, defensive coordinator Bobby Babbage fielded questions about the

1998
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 21: third down defense, what are.

1999
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:58,519
Speaker 22: The issues, what's going on? How can you fix it?

2000
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:02,559
Speaker 21: How can you get better the playoffs, and the players

2001
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:04,920
Speaker 21: and the coaches took those questions said, look, it's it's

2002
01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 21: a bunch of things. We're trying to figure it out here,

2003
01:45:08,040 --> 01:45:10,720
Speaker 21: and they did that against the Broncos. The Broncos go

2004
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:13,080
Speaker 21: two of nine on third down. That's just a twenty

2005
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:16,599
Speaker 21: two percent conversion rate, far better than the defense has

2006
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:19,920
Speaker 21: played all season long. Buffalo came into this game rnked

2007
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 21: the twenty ninth on third down. They were allowing more

2008
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:26,960
Speaker 21: than forty percent conversion rate on third down. I thought

2009
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:30,599
Speaker 21: they did a fantastic job of being physical and tough

2010
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:33,000
Speaker 21: on third down. They got off the field, they gave

2011
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:37,439
Speaker 21: Buffalo's offense more chances to score. The second half for

2012
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:40,599
Speaker 21: the Broncos went like this, two straight three and outs

2013
01:45:40,760 --> 01:45:43,360
Speaker 21: and then two straight turnerover on downs. That is a

2014
01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 21: statement that the defense made and I love this type

2015
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:49,719
Speaker 21: of performance before they go up against the Baltimore Ravens.

2016
01:45:49,800 --> 01:45:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were oh four, zero for four on third

2017
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:53,960
Speaker 2: down the second half, the Broncos were.

2018
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:55,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that was the ball game right there in

2019
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:57,439
Speaker 5: the second half when they tried it, they had to

2020
01:45:57,439 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 5: get back in and they just could not do it.

2021
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:02,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, and finally the welcome back award.

2022
01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:04,160
Speaker 22: Welcome back.

2023
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:06,639
Speaker 21: I'm waving over to you, Matt Milano wherever you are,

2024
01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 21: because you are back. I think Milano had a great

2025
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:13,719
Speaker 21: performance against the Broncos. He had that huge third down

2026
01:46:13,920 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 21: sack where he sprinted over to Bonnicks to knock him

2027
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:22,120
Speaker 21: out of bounds. He had hard hits, he was aggressive,

2028
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:25,600
Speaker 21: he was quick and not afraid to go after the

2029
01:46:25,640 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 21: big play.

2030
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:28,559
Speaker 22: I love that we saw this out of.

2031
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:30,840
Speaker 21: Milano in the first round of the playoffs. It's been

2032
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:33,920
Speaker 21: a build up to him getting healthy and him putting

2033
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,760
Speaker 21: it together on the field. I think we saw a

2034
01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:39,559
Speaker 21: lot of things come together for Milano on the field yesterday,

2035
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:42,240
Speaker 21: and hopefully that continues in the divisional round.

2036
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2037
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:45,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that that really caught bo Nicks off guard when

2038
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:49,640
Speaker 5: Milano came from nowhere. Mix is a fast dude. I

2039
01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:51,280
Speaker 5: talked about it all last week and we saw it

2040
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:55,240
Speaker 5: yesterday at points. He outruns a lot of defenders and

2041
01:46:55,439 --> 01:46:59,000
Speaker 5: Milano closed the gap and he had he was trying

2042
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:01,360
Speaker 5: to get the first down. I'm not gonna make it.

2043
01:47:01,560 --> 01:47:03,519
Speaker 5: Malona's got the angle on. He tried to cut it

2044
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:06,080
Speaker 5: back and Malona was agile enough to change his angling.

2045
01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:10,000
Speaker 5: Games was surprise, Nick Close really surprised that Milona closed

2046
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:12,760
Speaker 5: on him. And that was that was, you know, the

2047
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:15,679
Speaker 5: first defensive play of the game. That was like, oh okay,

2048
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:17,719
Speaker 5: here we go. It was and it was right on track.

2049
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:21,120
Speaker 2: And I think the last the Jets game and this

2050
01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 2: game it looks more like the Matt Mlona we remember

2051
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 2: than maybe any other games this season. And that's great

2052
01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:32,160
Speaker 2: to your point, Matty going into this Baltimore game, because

2053
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:34,760
Speaker 2: if he is reading things and is confident and is

2054
01:47:34,840 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 2: triggering at top speed like we see him in these

2055
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:39,840
Speaker 2: last two games, that bodes well for Buffalo's defense in

2056
01:47:39,920 --> 01:47:41,880
Speaker 2: terms of trying to slow down a Baltimore offense that's

2057
01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:43,760
Speaker 2: right behind Buffalo in terms of points per game.

2058
01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:45,720
Speaker 22: Right, Yeah, that is we're gonna need.

2059
01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:49,799
Speaker 21: We're gonna need everybody on defense against this Baltimore Ravens offense.

2060
01:47:49,880 --> 01:47:53,280
Speaker 21: I know all of us watched the Steelers Ravens game

2061
01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:56,479
Speaker 21: and saw what they put together on tape. I just

2062
01:47:56,520 --> 01:47:59,280
Speaker 21: want to say, you know, on one of the sports

2063
01:47:59,280 --> 01:48:02,000
Speaker 21: shows this morning saying they were Google gaga over the

2064
01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:04,000
Speaker 21: fact that the Ravens put up four hundred and sixty

2065
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 21: four total yards of offense against the Steelers. The Bills

2066
01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:09,520
Speaker 21: put up four hundred and seventy one against the Broncos.

2067
01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:12,479
Speaker 2: So and there you go. And I think you could

2068
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:14,879
Speaker 2: argue that the Bills were playing a better defense.

2069
01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:18,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Ravens were playing, and the Ravens were at

2070
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:20,639
Speaker 5: home on both teams were at home, so you know.

2071
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 2: So there it is, There it is, Maddie. Thanks as always,

Speaker 2: they will host the three seeded Baltimore Ravens Sunday evening

2111
01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 2: at six thirty. So be there or B square eight

2112
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:33,400
Speaker 2: oh three five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

2113
01:50:33,400 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 2: two five fifty the number to get on board. We

2114
01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:38,080
Speaker 2: got open lines for you for your biggest takeaways from

2115
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:42,320
Speaker 2: yesterday's win. And waiting patiently is Vincent in Orlando. What

2116
01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 2: do you got first, Vincent, Steve Chris, how's it going, guys? Great?

2117
01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:50,400
Speaker 12: Good call, a longtime listener.

2118
01:50:50,840 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 25: So I have a couple of things I wanted to

2119
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 25: talk about. Curtis Samuel. You know, we're always throwing them

2120
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:59,760
Speaker 25: those little screens and they never seem to be working.

2121
01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:01,960
Speaker 25: I know he's been hurt, but that like when we

2122
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 25: got him from Washington, that's what, like what that touchdown

2123
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:08,720
Speaker 25: he had yesterday, that's what I wanted to see from him.

2124
01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:11,600
Speaker 25: And that's what I think, honestly, what he's good at.

2125
01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 14: And I think we should be using him.

2126
01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 25: More in that way in my opinion.

2127
01:51:16,680 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 2: And then I don't just so yeah, go ahead, go ahead,

2128
01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah no, you finished, Vincent?

2129
01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:24,080
Speaker 25: Okay, So, and then I wanted to talk about Baltimore

2130
01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:27,639
Speaker 25: next week. So I was watching the Steelers game and

2131
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:33,120
Speaker 25: their play action just seems unstoppable or their read option. Sorry,

2132
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 25: and I'm seeing TJ. Watt slam Derrick Henry in the

2133
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 25: backfield and then all of a sudden, Lamar's got the

2134
01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:42,040
Speaker 25: ball running for ten plus yards. So I just wanted

2135
01:51:42,040 --> 01:51:44,920
Speaker 25: to hear kind of your guys' opinion on, you know,

2136
01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:48,360
Speaker 25: how we can stop that. Maybe have Greg Russo contained

2137
01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:51,400
Speaker 25: a little bit more, not go after the big play

2138
01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:55,240
Speaker 25: because they're so good and they're back there in the backfield.

2139
01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, all valid points, Vincent, and thanks for the

2140
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:01,280
Speaker 2: call and thanks for listening. I'll let Steve address the

2141
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:04,960
Speaker 2: read option. I will address your other issue with Curtis Samuel.

2142
01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:08,040
Speaker 2: I thought he could be more of a field stretcher

2143
01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 2: for the offense too, And I kind of mentioned that

2144
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 2: earlier in the season because they had enough guys to

2145
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:16,320
Speaker 2: work the screen game near the line of scrimmage, whether

2146
01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:19,799
Speaker 2: it's Shakir or one of the backs, and I thought Samuel,

2147
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:21,439
Speaker 2: with his four to three to one speed, might be

2148
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:23,600
Speaker 2: more valuable as a field stretcher, even though he's not

2149
01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:27,439
Speaker 2: super tall. We're finally starting to see some of that

2150
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:31,240
Speaker 2: now on some deep crossers that they've had him run,

2151
01:52:31,600 --> 01:52:35,559
Speaker 2: like the touchdown, his yards after catch in the open field,

2152
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:38,000
Speaker 2: if you're not with any yard of him, you're not

2153
01:52:38,120 --> 01:52:41,120
Speaker 2: catching him. And that's a valuable weapon in my opinion.

2154
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:43,280
Speaker 2: And it's a veteran player. I mean, yes, you have

2155
01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:45,880
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman who's good at getting yards after catch, but

2156
01:52:46,320 --> 01:52:49,720
Speaker 2: he doesn't have the game experience that Curtis has. So

2157
01:52:50,200 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 2: if you can keep finding ways to designing plays like

2158
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:54,840
Speaker 2: that for him, I'm all for it.

2159
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 5: And for the read option, you gotta have a plan

2160
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:00,160
Speaker 5: for it and you gotta exteal keep the play. And

2161
01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:03,320
Speaker 5: the problem with the Ravens offense and defending that run

2162
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:05,760
Speaker 5: game read option and the straight runs and all of

2163
01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:10,400
Speaker 5: that the quarterback called runs is that defenses are designed

2164
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:12,120
Speaker 5: to have at least one guy ready to make the

2165
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:15,080
Speaker 5: tackle wherever they run gap integrity. The problem is a

2166
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:17,920
Speaker 5: lot of times it's hard to tackle Derrick Henry with

2167
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 5: just one guy and he gives you that stiff arm,

2168
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 5: which is like it's the equivalent of a taser gun,

2169
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:25,799
Speaker 5: and you just can't get it done. That's the problem.

2170
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:28,960
Speaker 5: Broken tackles and him running through tackles is a big

2171
01:53:29,000 --> 01:53:31,960
Speaker 5: problem now certainly too. At times they block it well

2172
01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:34,519
Speaker 5: enough where Derrick Henry's running through there and it's like

2173
01:53:34,560 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 5: he's running down the isle in a grocery store. He's

2174
01:53:37,479 --> 01:53:41,360
Speaker 5: just running. You can't let that happen. But as far

2175
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:43,080
Speaker 5: as getting somebody on him, yeah, you got to have

2176
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:46,320
Speaker 5: a plan for when they're gonna do a read option.

2177
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:51,040
Speaker 5: The quarterback is reading somebody, and that somebody has got

2178
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:53,720
Speaker 5: to make him make a decision as quick as he

2179
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:56,000
Speaker 5: can and then make a tackle on one or the other,

2180
01:53:56,040 --> 01:54:00,479
Speaker 5: hopefully the guy with the ball. The Pittsburgh plan obviously

2181
01:54:00,720 --> 01:54:03,240
Speaker 5: was that if they were doing that read option, mesh

2182
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:05,439
Speaker 5: toward TJ. Watt or towards the other guy in the

2183
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:09,160
Speaker 5: end of the line of scrimmage, tackle Derrick Henry. And

2184
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:11,960
Speaker 5: I think the plan would be, if Lamar's got the

2185
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:16,280
Speaker 5: ball in his hands, punish him, make Lamar run it

2186
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:19,160
Speaker 5: a lot. Take the ball out of Henry's hands and

2187
01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:21,559
Speaker 5: make Lamar run it and punish him if you can

2188
01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:24,000
Speaker 5: with him having the ball in his hands. Ye, but

2189
01:54:24,040 --> 01:54:25,599
Speaker 5: you got to be ready to chase him and get him.

2190
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:27,120
Speaker 5: You got to be ready for that run, and you

2191
01:54:27,200 --> 01:54:29,479
Speaker 5: got to have a free hitter in the hole who

2192
01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:32,560
Speaker 5: can get there. So that's always a problem for the defense,

2193
01:54:32,560 --> 01:54:34,200
Speaker 5: and that's why they're so hard to defend. You only

2194
01:54:34,200 --> 01:54:37,080
Speaker 5: get one tackler, and sometimes one tackler is just not enough.

2195
01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:40,000
Speaker 2: And two reasons why they are so good at it

2196
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:42,800
Speaker 2: is because you have to respect both of those players equally.

2197
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:45,400
Speaker 2: You can't ignore one and focus on the other because

2198
01:54:45,400 --> 01:54:46,360
Speaker 2: the other one will make you pay.

2199
01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:48,520
Speaker 5: It's not Baker Mayfield doing that, mesh right.

2200
01:54:48,720 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 2: Secondarily, Lamar is one of the best ball fakers in

2201
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:59,480
Speaker 2: the league, I mean one of the best, so his

2202
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:04,480
Speaker 2: reception with his playfax also make it very difficult. So

2203
01:55:05,680 --> 01:55:08,720
Speaker 2: it's tough, it is. It is a tall order to

2204
01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:12,160
Speaker 2: completely neutralize that part of their offense for sure. Let's

2205
01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:14,840
Speaker 2: get back to the phones and we'll go to Mark

2206
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:15,680
Speaker 2: and West senecon next.

2207
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:19,680
Speaker 23: What's up Mark, Hey, guys, good afternoon, Happy football day

2208
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:24,480
Speaker 23: with Buffalo Bill's Monday. When looking forward to next week's game,

2209
01:55:25,160 --> 01:55:28,240
Speaker 23: this game's got the Rams the Detroit game written all

2210
01:55:28,240 --> 01:55:28,600
Speaker 23: over it.

2211
01:55:28,600 --> 01:55:28,880
Speaker 17: For me.

2212
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:31,320
Speaker 23: As far as what's going to go down scoring wise,

2213
01:55:31,520 --> 01:55:35,360
Speaker 23: it just does, I think. But I was thinking Kyle

2214
01:55:35,400 --> 01:55:38,440
Speaker 23: Hamilton has been a key for their defense this year.

2215
01:55:38,480 --> 01:55:42,720
Speaker 23: From what I understand early on the Bill of the

2216
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:46,080
Speaker 23: Ravens had him playing close to line scrimmage, almost like

2217
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:48,960
Speaker 23: a linebacker role, and from what I understand, they had

2218
01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:51,240
Speaker 23: a lot of problems in the defensive backfield because of

2219
01:55:51,240 --> 01:55:54,880
Speaker 23: that communication otherwise, and then they made some moves on

2220
01:55:54,920 --> 01:55:58,960
Speaker 23: where they had guys playing and their defense turned around well.

2221
01:55:58,960 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 23: With the Bills showing on tape what they were able

2222
01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:04,920
Speaker 23: to do yesterday running the game, running the ball against

2223
01:56:04,960 --> 01:56:09,320
Speaker 23: the really good defense, I'm hoping that somewhere along the

2224
01:56:09,320 --> 01:56:12,600
Speaker 23: line we forced them to make that change back to

2225
01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 23: bring him back and then we can hit him. But

2226
01:56:15,360 --> 01:56:18,880
Speaker 23: I would really hope more than anything that we can

2227
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:21,839
Speaker 23: run the ball again like we did yesterday and control

2228
01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:25,840
Speaker 23: the clock like we did, because I think I'll take

2229
01:56:25,880 --> 01:56:28,520
Speaker 23: points off the board to not give the ball back

2230
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:30,640
Speaker 23: to Lamar. So I was just curious what you guys

2231
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:33,880
Speaker 23: thought about that if the Bills possibly could force them

2232
01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:37,080
Speaker 23: into making those changes back towards the line of scrimmage.

2233
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:40,360
Speaker 5: Thanks guys, Well, that's really the object. I mean, you

2234
01:56:40,400 --> 01:56:42,120
Speaker 5: want and you want to find out early in the

2235
01:56:42,160 --> 01:56:47,040
Speaker 5: game what Baltimore is going to do against your Bills offense.

2236
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 5: The way it's constituted now and with Cooper in the mix,

2237
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:55,320
Speaker 5: with Kincaid knocks in the mix, Shakir in the mix.

2238
01:56:55,600 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 5: You got to find out what Baltimore is going to do,

2239
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:01,240
Speaker 5: and if you want them to to go dime or

2240
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:07,320
Speaker 5: nickel or base, you're gonna have to run your plays

2241
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:11,000
Speaker 5: and see how Baltimore handles your offense and whether you

2242
01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:14,560
Speaker 5: have the horses to make them adjust. It's one thing

2243
01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:17,200
Speaker 5: to change your personnel and then they change theirs as well.

2244
01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:20,400
Speaker 5: But if you go out there and they've got the matchup,

2245
01:57:20,440 --> 01:57:22,360
Speaker 5: they want the personnel they want on the field, and

2246
01:57:22,400 --> 01:57:25,520
Speaker 5: you force them to get out of that, then you're

2247
01:57:25,560 --> 01:57:28,120
Speaker 5: making some Hey, that's pretty tough to do.

2248
01:57:28,160 --> 01:57:28,360
Speaker 2: Though.

2249
01:57:28,480 --> 01:57:30,560
Speaker 5: Usually they've got a pretty good plan and they know

2250
01:57:30,800 --> 01:57:33,520
Speaker 5: or feel confident their guys can match up physically with

2251
01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:38,760
Speaker 5: your guys. If you outman them in a personnel combination

2252
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:42,000
Speaker 5: that they had planned to run against that person your personnel,

2253
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:47,440
Speaker 5: your way out in front, that's big. Baltimore does that.

2254
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 5: A lot teams try this. They try that. Here's the thing.

2255
01:57:51,800 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 5: If you're gonna force the and a lot of teams

2256
01:57:54,360 --> 01:57:57,680
Speaker 5: will continue to do this, They'll invite the Ravens to

2257
01:57:57,760 --> 01:58:00,560
Speaker 5: run the ball and it sounds crazy, but they throw

2258
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:03,480
Speaker 5: the ball extremely well too, and you score more points

2259
01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:05,760
Speaker 5: when you're throwing the football and eat and not eating

2260
01:58:05,840 --> 01:58:08,640
Speaker 5: up the clock than you do with the running game.

2261
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:12,560
Speaker 5: Usually we've seen them hit home runs in the running

2262
01:58:12,560 --> 01:58:16,120
Speaker 5: game as well. But let's not forget Lamar in this

2263
01:58:16,200 --> 01:58:19,200
Speaker 5: offense can throw it really well as too, So you

2264
01:58:19,280 --> 01:58:22,520
Speaker 5: kind of pick your poison, You pick your personnel combination

2265
01:58:22,680 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 5: to make them run or throw, whichever the case may be,

2266
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:27,000
Speaker 5: and then you do what you can with the rest.

2267
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:30,200
Speaker 5: They're a load, man, There's no two ways about it.

2268
01:58:30,320 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 5: Baltimore's offense is a real problem, and so is Buffalo's.

2269
01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:38,720
Speaker 5: And it's going to come down to who's score. You're right,

2270
01:58:38,720 --> 01:58:40,280
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be a high scoring game,

2271
01:58:40,320 --> 01:58:41,720
Speaker 5: and it's gonna come down to who can make a

2272
01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:44,000
Speaker 5: handful of plays in the defensive backfield or get a

2273
01:58:44,040 --> 01:58:46,440
Speaker 5: sack when you don't expect it, or force a fumble,

2274
01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:49,520
Speaker 5: or get a stop on a fourth and short, you know,

2275
01:58:49,640 --> 01:58:52,560
Speaker 5: or something. It's gonna come down to those kind of plays.

2276
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:57,200
Speaker 5: This is this is going to be a hard fought

2277
01:58:57,360 --> 01:59:01,200
Speaker 5: divisional playoff game in the NFL, and it ain't nobody

2278
01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:04,280
Speaker 5: gonna win fifty one to three. I'm telling you.

2279
01:59:04,160 --> 01:59:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're expecting it to be a back

2280
01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:10,600
Speaker 2: and forth game, kind of like a twelve round heavyweight fight,

2281
01:59:11,480 --> 01:59:14,000
Speaker 2: because these two teams are going to beat the living

2282
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:17,320
Speaker 2: spot out of each other to try to advance. Eight

2283
01:59:17,320 --> 01:59:19,880
Speaker 2: oh three oh five fifty one eight eight eight five

2284
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:22,120
Speaker 2: fifty two fifty the number to jump on board with us.

2285
01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:24,800
Speaker 2: We do have open lines for you to let us

2286
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:28,480
Speaker 2: know what your biggest takeaways were from yesterday's wild card

2287
01:59:28,520 --> 01:59:31,720
Speaker 2: win over the Broncos. If you don't have time to

2288
01:59:31,720 --> 01:59:33,040
Speaker 2: give us a call, you can always hit U up

2289
01:59:33,080 --> 01:59:34,800
Speaker 2: on the tweet sheet at one Bill's Live. We will

2290
01:59:34,800 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 2: crack open the tweet sheet here shortly, but before we

2291
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:40,720
Speaker 2: do that, we'll squeeze in Tom in cheek Towaga. What's

2292
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:41,800
Speaker 2: up Tom?

2293
01:59:42,720 --> 01:59:45,080
Speaker 26: Hey, guys, I do love to show you guys got

2294
01:59:46,480 --> 01:59:49,760
Speaker 26: I just want to mention their game plan against Denver

2295
01:59:49,920 --> 01:59:53,840
Speaker 26: where they controlled what forty one minutes of the time clock.

2296
01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:57,320
Speaker 26: I think we'll go a long way with the Ravens

2297
01:59:57,360 --> 02:00:02,400
Speaker 26: basically limiting their possessions that they would get. I just

2298
02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:05,760
Speaker 26: I think that was a great game plan that they

2299
02:00:06,160 --> 02:00:11,080
Speaker 26: figured out and limit you know, Baltimore's chance of getting

2300
02:00:11,200 --> 02:00:13,360
Speaker 26: offensive plays.

2301
02:00:13,640 --> 02:00:14,520
Speaker 18: I'll hang up and listen.

2302
02:00:15,320 --> 02:00:18,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I think that's easier said than done. It said

2303
02:00:18,640 --> 02:00:22,240
Speaker 2: then done. Because the Ravens in their own right can

2304
02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:25,879
Speaker 2: grind out clock with their Reid option game with Derrick Henry.

2305
02:00:26,360 --> 02:00:28,480
Speaker 2: I mean they can, they can play the same game.

2306
02:00:28,520 --> 02:00:31,200
Speaker 2: I think it'd be very difficult to get forty one

2307
02:00:31,240 --> 02:00:34,360
Speaker 2: minutes time of possession against a team of that caliber.

2308
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:38,080
Speaker 2: So to just arbitrarily say yeah, if we hold on

2309
02:00:38,120 --> 02:00:40,680
Speaker 2: to the ball for forty minutes, we'll beat the Ravens too,

2310
02:00:41,440 --> 02:00:44,200
Speaker 2: it's easier said than done. Just trust me. And when

2311
02:00:44,200 --> 02:00:47,400
Speaker 2: I say that, because you're you're playing another formidable defense

2312
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:52,040
Speaker 2: and you're playing an offense that is very balanced, much

2313
02:00:52,080 --> 02:00:54,120
Speaker 2: like your offense is. It's this is going to be

2314
02:00:54,160 --> 02:00:55,160
Speaker 2: a back and forth game.

2315
02:00:55,520 --> 02:00:58,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you look at that first meeting, time of

2316
02:00:58,720 --> 02:01:01,400
Speaker 5: possession was twenty eight eight fifties twenty nine minutes for

2317
02:01:01,440 --> 02:01:06,680
Speaker 5: Buffalo thirty one for Baltimore in that blowout loss. Yeah,

2318
02:01:06,840 --> 02:01:10,800
Speaker 5: the Bills took so it was pretty even. Then if

2319
02:01:10,840 --> 02:01:13,160
Speaker 5: the Bills played better, you could maybe would see that

2320
02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:14,120
Speaker 5: tilt the other way.

2321
02:01:14,880 --> 02:01:16,800
Speaker 2: Let's go to the tweet sheet brought to you by

2322
02:01:16,840 --> 02:01:19,440
Speaker 2: Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

2323
02:01:19,480 --> 02:01:23,000
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Biggest takeaways from the Bills went over the Broncos.

2324
02:01:23,040 --> 02:01:26,680
Speaker 2: Tim says after the Broncos initial drives, the defense stiffened

2325
02:01:26,720 --> 02:01:29,640
Speaker 2: up and played well, took away the run game. That

2326
02:01:29,760 --> 02:01:32,240
Speaker 2: was the one weakness that the Broncos really had coming

2327
02:01:32,280 --> 02:01:35,120
Speaker 2: into this game. They have not run the ball particularly well.

2328
02:01:35,440 --> 02:01:38,200
Speaker 2: They really don't have a dynamic player at the running

2329
02:01:38,200 --> 02:01:41,920
Speaker 2: back position. They have a scat you know, they have scatbacks,

2330
02:01:41,960 --> 02:01:44,880
Speaker 2: but they go down easily on first contact. And then

2331
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:48,320
Speaker 2: their big back Javonte Williams, just has no breakaway ability.

2332
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:50,800
Speaker 2: So he might get four to eight yards on through

2333
02:01:50,840 --> 02:01:52,640
Speaker 2: a big hole, but not much more than that. And

2334
02:01:53,280 --> 02:01:55,240
Speaker 2: you know, it really just didn't allow them to get

2335
02:01:55,240 --> 02:01:57,400
Speaker 2: any explosives in the run game. So it really all

2336
02:01:57,440 --> 02:02:00,000
Speaker 2: fell on bo Nicks, and we saw what the Bills did.

2337
02:01:59,880 --> 02:02:05,280
Speaker 5: With right, and that's yeah. The Bills defense stepped up

2338
02:02:05,280 --> 02:02:07,360
Speaker 5: a notch, no question about it. They played extremely well

2339
02:02:07,360 --> 02:02:11,920
Speaker 5: against a good Broncos team. You know, time when the

2340
02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:16,360
Speaker 5: Bills offense really caught its stride and started lengthening it

2341
02:02:16,360 --> 02:02:19,400
Speaker 5: out in the second half, I think the defense ability

2342
02:02:19,400 --> 02:02:21,880
Speaker 5: to shut them out and for three quarters of the game.

2343
02:02:22,160 --> 02:02:23,400
Speaker 5: I mean, what are you gonna do. You can't lose

2344
02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:25,400
Speaker 5: a game like that. Yeah, you're just not gonna lose

2345
02:02:25,400 --> 02:02:29,120
Speaker 5: a game like that. And the Bills knew it. So

2346
02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:32,240
Speaker 5: it's hard to transpose anything that happened in this Denver

2347
02:02:32,320 --> 02:02:35,160
Speaker 5: game onto the Baltimore game. I know, we've be people

2348
02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:39,560
Speaker 5: started suggesting that it's gonna be a different animal.

2349
02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:42,560
Speaker 2: Justin on the tweets, she says running game is so

2350
02:02:43,280 --> 02:02:46,280
Speaker 2: important for playoffs. They showed teams they will have to

2351
02:02:46,280 --> 02:02:49,000
Speaker 2: stop the run if they want a chance to beat

2352
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:52,000
Speaker 2: the Bills. Jesse says our defense is better than it

2353
02:02:52,040 --> 02:02:54,680
Speaker 2: says on paper. When they are all executing, they can

2354
02:02:54,720 --> 02:02:58,240
Speaker 2: do this. They can slow down Henry. It's possible. Well,

2355
02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:01,520
Speaker 2: when you're a healthier football team, a greater of getting

2356
02:03:01,600 --> 02:03:05,120
Speaker 2: some stops. Look, you're not gonna completely shut down the

2357
02:03:05,160 --> 02:03:08,760
Speaker 2: greatest running back of this generation. I mean he's probably

2358
02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:11,360
Speaker 2: the best running back this side of Adrian Peterson. So

2359
02:03:12,400 --> 02:03:15,160
Speaker 2: I mean he's gonna get some of his What you

2360
02:03:15,280 --> 02:03:18,400
Speaker 2: don't want are eighty seven yarders to the house like

2361
02:03:18,440 --> 02:03:21,720
Speaker 2: we saw in the Week four. Yeah, you can't have those.

2362
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:25,040
Speaker 2: But he's gonna get some ten fifteen twenty yard runs.

2363
02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:27,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just he's too good. And when you

2364
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:29,800
Speaker 2: play good on good, they're gonna get a couple and

2365
02:03:29,840 --> 02:03:31,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna get a couple. The key is to have

2366
02:03:31,600 --> 02:03:33,560
Speaker 2: more than they do at the end of the game,

2367
02:03:33,960 --> 02:03:36,960
Speaker 2: and if somehow, by hook or crook, they can keep

2368
02:03:37,000 --> 02:03:39,960
Speaker 2: him under ninety yards, I kind of I like Buffalo's chances,

2369
02:03:40,200 --> 02:03:43,000
Speaker 2: so they've been able to keep him under wraps when

2370
02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:46,520
Speaker 2: their quarterback wasn't as formidable as Lamar. You know, when

2371
02:03:46,560 --> 02:03:48,960
Speaker 2: he was in Tennessee and you had Ryan Tannehill and others,

2372
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:51,760
Speaker 2: you know, you didn't worry about Tannehill. You focused your

2373
02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:55,400
Speaker 2: efforts on Henry. But with Henry and Lamar in the backfield,

2374
02:03:55,720 --> 02:03:58,360
Speaker 2: you have to split the difference, and that's really tough

2375
02:03:58,760 --> 02:04:00,240
Speaker 2: against two generational.

2376
02:04:00,560 --> 02:04:03,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard to do. I mean, the guys just there.

2377
02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:09,760
Speaker 5: You can't sugarcoat it. They're very good, very good, maybe

2378
02:04:10,120 --> 02:04:12,120
Speaker 5: good enough to go to I know they believe they're

2379
02:04:12,120 --> 02:04:14,400
Speaker 5: good enough to go to and win it, win it all,

2380
02:04:15,440 --> 02:04:18,360
Speaker 5: just like Bills fans believe it about their team. It's

2381
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:21,840
Speaker 5: you know, that's where they're at, and they are. They

2382
02:04:21,880 --> 02:04:24,880
Speaker 5: have a unique offense, they have a unique quarterback. They

2383
02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:28,480
Speaker 5: support and developed that quarterback extremely well. They built it

2384
02:04:28,520 --> 02:04:30,880
Speaker 5: around him, and now they brought in a generational talent

2385
02:04:30,960 --> 02:04:34,680
Speaker 5: on top of all of that to help him do it. Yeah,

2386
02:04:34,800 --> 02:04:38,560
Speaker 5: they're a wagon and you've got to score with them

2387
02:04:38,640 --> 02:04:40,480
Speaker 5: and hope you can make a handful of plays that

2388
02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:42,640
Speaker 5: will take them put them in a bad spot where

2389
02:04:42,640 --> 02:04:45,920
Speaker 5: they can't win it. This is a this is going

2390
02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:48,480
Speaker 5: to be a really, really difficult game for both these clubs.

2391
02:04:48,920 --> 02:04:51,000
Speaker 2: Let's get back on the phone lines and go to

2392
02:04:51,040 --> 02:04:52,080
Speaker 2: Mike and Hamburg next.

2393
02:04:52,120 --> 02:04:56,520
Speaker 10: What's up, Mike, see you first time call her a

2394
02:04:56,520 --> 02:04:57,920
Speaker 10: long time listener. How are you guys?

2395
02:04:58,040 --> 02:04:58,960
Speaker 2: Good? Thanks for doing it.

2396
02:05:00,080 --> 02:05:03,080
Speaker 10: Hey, hats off on the Bills win yesterday. And I

2397
02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:06,000
Speaker 10: want to talk about the barefooted wonder here for a second.

2398
02:05:06,320 --> 02:05:10,120
Speaker 10: I sure hope we have woman arrester for and second, Wow,

2399
02:05:10,160 --> 02:05:12,920
Speaker 10: what a hit he laid out on that punt return.

2400
02:05:13,160 --> 02:05:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, he buried Marvin Mims for sure.

2401
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:17,200
Speaker 17: Yeah.

2402
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting Mike because last offseason when they were

2403
02:05:21,880 --> 02:05:25,080
Speaker 2: recruiting Mac Collins to sign with the Bills in free agency,

2404
02:05:25,080 --> 02:05:28,600
Speaker 2: he was a little hesitant. And the guy they used

2405
02:05:29,040 --> 02:05:32,360
Speaker 2: to convince him to sign here was Mitchell Trubisky, his

2406
02:05:32,480 --> 02:05:36,280
Speaker 2: former college quarterback at North Carolina. They played together down

2407
02:05:36,360 --> 02:05:39,400
Speaker 2: there in college, and they got Trubisky on the horn,

2408
02:05:39,440 --> 02:05:42,160
Speaker 2: and he kind of convinced Mac Collins, hey, you're going

2409
02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:44,320
Speaker 2: to be a part of this offense up here, and

2410
02:05:44,440 --> 02:05:46,680
Speaker 2: it's a good group. I think you'll like it here,

2411
02:05:46,720 --> 02:05:49,600
Speaker 2: and he convinced Mac to come in. He signed a

2412
02:05:49,640 --> 02:05:51,800
Speaker 2: one year deal. Look, I don't think he's going to

2413
02:05:51,880 --> 02:05:55,000
Speaker 2: break the bank, and I think he would be interested

2414
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:57,960
Speaker 2: in coming back next season. And as Steve and I

2415
02:05:57,960 --> 02:06:00,280
Speaker 2: have said many times, he's a big time glue guy

2416
02:06:00,320 --> 02:06:02,600
Speaker 2: for this roster. Everybody loves him because of the effort

2417
02:06:02,640 --> 02:06:05,360
Speaker 2: he puts out there and that coverage as a gunner

2418
02:06:05,400 --> 02:06:07,880
Speaker 2: on the punt team as a thirty one year old

2419
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:10,320
Speaker 2: veteran player in the NFL, I think says all you

2420
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:13,880
Speaker 2: need to know about why he is the right kind

2421
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:15,960
Speaker 2: of Bill's DNA for this football team.

2422
02:06:16,240 --> 02:06:19,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it was a It was an incredibly good

2423
02:06:19,960 --> 02:06:23,680
Speaker 5: play special teams wise, and it'll be interesting to see

2424
02:06:24,040 --> 02:06:26,120
Speaker 5: what he wants to do at the end of this year. Certainly,

2425
02:06:26,240 --> 02:06:28,480
Speaker 5: think about this, How valuable do you think he looks

2426
02:06:28,480 --> 02:06:31,280
Speaker 5: to other teams? Right now, there's some other teams that like, wow,

2427
02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:33,520
Speaker 5: you know what, we might need this guy. We can

2428
02:06:33,560 --> 02:06:35,440
Speaker 5: give him even more to do at our team because

2429
02:06:35,440 --> 02:06:37,480
Speaker 5: they're not using him enough because they got all these guys.

2430
02:06:37,560 --> 02:06:43,240
Speaker 5: Right he's gonna have some options. He's got you know what,

2431
02:06:43,400 --> 02:06:46,040
Speaker 5: six or seven touchdowns on the year, he's got five

2432
02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:51,400
Speaker 5: five touchdowns on the team, and he's just he's done

2433
02:06:51,440 --> 02:06:57,640
Speaker 5: so many things here now. Certainly most teams they're gonna say, yeah, okay,

2434
02:06:57,640 --> 02:06:59,720
Speaker 5: he's the guy that walks around barefoot. He's he's not

2435
02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:02,400
Speaker 5: gonna have the presence on the horizon for most teams

2436
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:04,240
Speaker 5: that he does here in Buffalo. People know him, We

2437
02:07:04,960 --> 02:07:06,680
Speaker 5: like him, We know him off the field. We watch

2438
02:07:06,760 --> 02:07:09,920
Speaker 5: him and we kind of hear about the impact he

2439
02:07:10,000 --> 02:07:12,879
Speaker 5: had on the players around him. But let's not forget

2440
02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:15,200
Speaker 5: the guy's been in the league a minute. He's been

2441
02:07:15,200 --> 02:07:18,560
Speaker 5: with a couple of teams and it didn't go as

2442
02:07:18,600 --> 02:07:21,680
Speaker 5: well as it has here. You don't have to be

2443
02:07:21,800 --> 02:07:23,800
Speaker 5: very smart to look yourself in the mirror as a

2444
02:07:23,800 --> 02:07:25,640
Speaker 5: player and say, you know what, I, if I can

2445
02:07:25,760 --> 02:07:27,920
Speaker 5: make it happen, this is the place where I thrive.

2446
02:07:27,960 --> 02:07:29,760
Speaker 5: I need to be here. Jordan Phillips did it. Other

2447
02:07:29,800 --> 02:07:32,480
Speaker 5: guys have done it. Other guys have left here and

2448
02:07:33,640 --> 02:07:38,440
Speaker 5: not thrived. There's plenty of evidence to go around that

2449
02:07:38,800 --> 02:07:42,920
Speaker 5: you might want to. You know, the grass isn't always greener,

2450
02:07:42,920 --> 02:07:44,200
Speaker 5: I guess is the best way to say it.

2451
02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:47,040
Speaker 2: So Rob in Niagara Falls, what do you got Rob?

2452
02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:51,400
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, I'm just thinking about the game because watching

2453
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:53,600
Speaker 10: it that just went by. What scared me to Molso

2454
02:07:53,720 --> 02:07:56,600
Speaker 10: is watching that like first live and just seeing how

2455
02:07:56,640 --> 02:07:59,600
Speaker 10: like unprepared or how scared they were at first to

2456
02:07:59,600 --> 02:08:02,160
Speaker 10: see that touchdown go through. I think it was a

2457
02:08:02,240 --> 02:08:04,280
Speaker 10: nice reality check for them to go through that game

2458
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:06,840
Speaker 10: and get all their bearings straight for the next game

2459
02:08:06,880 --> 02:08:10,000
Speaker 10: that's coming up with Baltimore. I think after the second half,

2460
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:11,880
Speaker 10: I think everything started getting to the point where they

2461
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:13,560
Speaker 10: knew what they were doing and they remembered how they

2462
02:08:13,640 --> 02:08:15,680
Speaker 10: used to play through the season, and I think that

2463
02:08:15,760 --> 02:08:18,520
Speaker 10: was really well done by them. But my points for

2464
02:08:18,640 --> 02:08:21,880
Speaker 10: this thought Baltimore game coming up is it's the chess

2465
02:08:21,960 --> 02:08:24,240
Speaker 10: match for both of them. They're both equally as good.

2466
02:08:24,280 --> 02:08:27,000
Speaker 10: I don't think anybody really can say, hey, that team's

2467
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:29,280
Speaker 10: better than the other one. But where they I think

2468
02:08:29,320 --> 02:08:31,960
Speaker 10: they need to target is that we got Josh Allen,

2469
02:08:32,040 --> 02:08:34,320
Speaker 10: we got the legs in the arm. I think that

2470
02:08:34,480 --> 02:08:38,280
Speaker 10: overpowers Lamar, not by much, but it does. But the

2471
02:08:38,360 --> 02:08:41,320
Speaker 10: running game is on obviously on Baltimore side, So I

2472
02:08:41,320 --> 02:08:44,240
Speaker 10: think everything has to be focused on stopping Henry and

2473
02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:46,760
Speaker 10: letting Alan out play Lamar on the arm.

2474
02:08:48,320 --> 02:08:51,680
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I don't think he'd be alone in that sentiment.

2475
02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:56,960
Speaker 5: I mean, stopping Derrick Henry is easier than not. Yeah,

2476
02:08:57,080 --> 02:09:00,400
Speaker 5: I mean, sure, if you can do it. He been

2477
02:09:00,400 --> 02:09:02,960
Speaker 5: trying all year and the guy's got not just this year,

2478
02:09:03,000 --> 02:09:03,440
Speaker 5: every year.

2479
02:09:03,560 --> 02:09:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's like, I mean, what does he have

2480
02:09:05,880 --> 02:09:08,800
Speaker 2: two rushing titles in his career? I think at least two.

2481
02:09:09,320 --> 02:09:10,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a monster.

2482
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:12,080
Speaker 2: I mean, and for a thirty one year old to

2483
02:09:12,080 --> 02:09:15,200
Speaker 2: be doing what he's doing at this level is especially

2484
02:09:15,240 --> 02:09:17,840
Speaker 2: knowing he's a guy that does take hits. Now usually

2485
02:09:17,920 --> 02:09:19,680
Speaker 2: he seems to be dishing out more of the punishment

2486
02:09:19,680 --> 02:09:21,840
Speaker 2: than he's taking. But there's a lot of miles on

2487
02:09:21,880 --> 02:09:26,160
Speaker 2: those tires, and for those that weren't paying attention second

2488
02:09:26,240 --> 02:09:28,960
Speaker 2: half of the season, they were pacing him big time.

2489
02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:32,440
Speaker 2: He would get only twelve carries in a game, fifteen

2490
02:09:32,520 --> 02:09:35,000
Speaker 2: carries in a game. I think over the last six weeks,

2491
02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:37,000
Speaker 2: I think he went over twenty carries, maybe only once

2492
02:09:37,080 --> 02:09:40,640
Speaker 2: or twice. They made a concerted effort to pace him

2493
02:09:40,640 --> 02:09:42,840
Speaker 2: through the end of the season, so he still had

2494
02:09:42,880 --> 02:09:45,560
Speaker 2: gas left in the tank for this postseason run. And

2495
02:09:45,760 --> 02:09:48,520
Speaker 2: so far, so good for them. Let's go to Mark

2496
02:09:48,560 --> 02:09:50,160
Speaker 2: in Jersey City next. What's up Mark?

2497
02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:54,760
Speaker 12: Wow, Good afternoon, gentlemen. Thanks for taking Michael great win.

2498
02:09:55,080 --> 02:09:57,000
Speaker 12: I believe I told you guys last week. They ran

2499
02:09:57,040 --> 02:09:58,800
Speaker 12: for one hundred and nine at two on him last

2500
02:09:58,840 --> 02:10:01,480
Speaker 12: year and that mess of the game, and I felt

2501
02:10:01,520 --> 02:10:03,040
Speaker 12: confident they were going to do it again. So I

2502
02:10:03,080 --> 02:10:06,880
Speaker 12: was glad they came to Fruition for me because I

2503
02:10:06,920 --> 02:10:09,280
Speaker 12: felt that it was a statement game. They didn't have

2504
02:10:09,320 --> 02:10:11,640
Speaker 12: Alec Anderson up for last year either. They were missing

2505
02:10:11,680 --> 02:10:14,920
Speaker 12: pieces and there's this attitude guys across the board on

2506
02:10:14,960 --> 02:10:17,360
Speaker 12: that team, and I think they're the national people. The

2507
02:10:17,360 --> 02:10:21,120
Speaker 12: Baltimore radio today, they think this is a win. This

2508
02:10:21,200 --> 02:10:24,680
Speaker 12: is a win, and it's lamar cementing his third MVP.

2509
02:10:25,160 --> 02:10:27,720
Speaker 12: That's what they're saying already. So we're not even close

2510
02:10:27,760 --> 02:10:30,880
Speaker 12: to the game. I just think the Bills have a

2511
02:10:30,920 --> 02:10:32,440
Speaker 12: lot in the tank for this team, they're going to

2512
02:10:32,480 --> 02:10:34,480
Speaker 12: get all the fuel they need from what I just said.

2513
02:10:34,720 --> 02:10:37,720
Speaker 12: They're going to get all the bulletin board material. Baltimore

2514
02:10:38,240 --> 02:10:40,760
Speaker 12: has changed up defensively a little bit since they brought

2515
02:10:40,800 --> 02:10:44,920
Speaker 12: in Dean P's. They play Hamilton more like they used

2516
02:10:44,960 --> 02:10:47,960
Speaker 12: to play Ed Reed, kind of a center fielder. So

2517
02:10:48,160 --> 02:10:49,920
Speaker 12: they're going to see a bit of a different team,

2518
02:10:49,920 --> 02:10:51,840
Speaker 12: but they're going to see a different Bills team too.

2519
02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:54,400
Speaker 12: And one last thing, Baltimore's played a bit of a

2520
02:10:54,480 --> 02:10:59,800
Speaker 12: cupcake run here Giants Browns, and that they beat Pittsburgh

2521
02:11:00,040 --> 02:11:05,240
Speaker 12: twice and they've been dead since when October November. That's

2522
02:11:05,440 --> 02:11:08,440
Speaker 12: they won twenty eight to fourteen. And that team they

2523
02:11:08,440 --> 02:11:11,200
Speaker 12: should have beat them by fifty. They were sleep walking.

2524
02:11:11,240 --> 02:11:14,080
Speaker 12: They're getting so much heat for the way they played,

2525
02:11:14,120 --> 02:11:15,720
Speaker 12: it's it's insane. So I think the Bills are going

2526
02:11:15,760 --> 02:11:17,000
Speaker 12: to be up for this one. Thanks for taking my

2527
02:11:17,040 --> 02:11:17,920
Speaker 12: clot guys, Yeah.

2528
02:11:17,720 --> 02:11:22,320
Speaker 27: Sure, i'd be Yeah, I mean well, they're never I

2529
02:11:22,320 --> 02:11:25,400
Speaker 27: mean no, the Ravens and the Bills, neither one are

2530
02:11:25,400 --> 02:11:29,280
Speaker 27: going to need any any you know, spark to get

2531
02:11:29,360 --> 02:11:29,920
Speaker 27: ready for this one.

2532
02:11:29,920 --> 02:11:32,000
Speaker 5: They're they're all going to be in this. Everybody's going

2533
02:11:32,040 --> 02:11:34,120
Speaker 5: to be one hundred percent invested in this and bringing

2534
02:11:34,160 --> 02:11:37,160
Speaker 5: it all on all hitting on all cylinders. So the

2535
02:11:37,200 --> 02:11:39,800
Speaker 5: motivation is going to be there on both sides.

2536
02:11:39,880 --> 02:11:42,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I get why Baltimore fans feel as confident

2537
02:11:42,360 --> 02:11:44,520
Speaker 2: as they do. They're using recency bias. They won by

2538
02:11:44,520 --> 02:11:47,320
Speaker 2: twenty five in Week four, but we all know that

2539
02:11:47,320 --> 02:11:49,640
Speaker 2: these two teams are both very different than they were

2540
02:11:49,680 --> 02:11:51,160
Speaker 2: back in Week four, and I think it's going to

2541
02:11:51,200 --> 02:11:54,160
Speaker 2: be a much closer matchup than maybe some people down

2542
02:11:54,200 --> 02:11:56,800
Speaker 2: in Baltimore are anticipating. Got to take a break here.

2553
02:12:44,720 --> 02:12:47,960
Speaker 2: John Harbaugh addressing the media down in Baltimore, said the

2554
02:12:48,040 --> 02:12:51,400
Speaker 2: Ravens are in quote will C mode regarding Pro Bowl

2555
02:12:51,400 --> 02:12:54,640
Speaker 2: wide receivers A Flowers, who was sidelined for last week's

2556
02:12:54,640 --> 02:12:57,640
Speaker 2: game with a knee injury suffered in their Week eighteen game.

2557
02:12:58,480 --> 02:13:02,080
Speaker 2: Harbaugh pointed out that Flowers doesn't have to practice in

2558
02:13:02,280 --> 02:13:06,800
Speaker 2: order to play Sunday against Buffalo. It's all hands on deck.

2559
02:13:06,880 --> 02:13:10,280
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, yeah there. If he can go, he's

2560
02:13:10,280 --> 02:13:10,680
Speaker 5: gonna go.

2561
02:13:10,840 --> 02:13:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2562
02:13:11,240 --> 02:13:15,320
Speaker 5: I would imagine he's gonna give it a shot. We'll see, though.

2563
02:13:15,320 --> 02:13:18,760
Speaker 5: I mean, it's they're a pretty good organization. I don't

2564
02:13:18,760 --> 02:13:20,200
Speaker 5: think they're gonna throw a guy out there and put

2565
02:13:20,240 --> 02:13:24,480
Speaker 5: him in danger. But still he's gonna want to play.

2566
02:13:24,840 --> 02:13:28,040
Speaker 2: ESPN's Meena Chimes, who was very bullish on the Bills

2567
02:13:28,040 --> 02:13:32,040
Speaker 2: in their matchup with Denver last weekend, made a note

2568
02:13:32,080 --> 02:13:35,760
Speaker 2: of what we talked about earlier, the Ie formation, the

2569
02:13:35,840 --> 02:13:38,360
Speaker 2: true eye formation in the run game with Reggie Gillium

2570
02:13:38,440 --> 02:13:41,360
Speaker 2: as the fullback and Cook behind him as the tailback,

2571
02:13:41,880 --> 02:13:46,320
Speaker 2: and she did some statistical analysis. She said Reggie Gilliam

2572
02:13:46,400 --> 02:13:49,839
Speaker 2: has had double digit snaps in six of the Bill's

2573
02:13:49,960 --> 02:13:54,200
Speaker 2: last seven games, including the wild card win. Buffalo's two

2574
02:13:54,200 --> 02:13:58,839
Speaker 2: back sets had the highest success rate of any grouping

2575
02:13:58,960 --> 02:14:00,640
Speaker 2: they used yesterday.

2576
02:14:01,120 --> 02:14:06,160
Speaker 5: How about that interesting? I mean you got to try it, man,

2577
02:14:06,440 --> 02:14:07,600
Speaker 5: You never know what's gonna work.

2578
02:14:07,880 --> 02:14:10,240
Speaker 2: Well, it's something that the Ravens have to prepare for now.

2579
02:14:10,400 --> 02:14:13,800
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, because they they made some hay in that formation.

2580
02:14:14,200 --> 02:14:16,200
Speaker 5: And now you can put in another package or some

2581
02:14:16,240 --> 02:14:19,320
Speaker 5: wrinkles or whatever you want and uh and keep it rolling.

2582
02:14:19,360 --> 02:14:21,880
Speaker 5: It's it's gonna be interesting. It's it's always fun to

2583
02:14:22,040 --> 02:14:23,320
Speaker 5: see how that how it works out.

2584
02:14:23,600 --> 02:14:26,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna flip the page to Bill's Ravens tomorrow as

2585
02:14:26,600 --> 02:14:28,560
Speaker 2: we get ready for the divisional playoff, and we'll do

2586
02:14:28,640 --> 02:14:31,320
Speaker 2: that with ESPN's dan or A Lobsky tomorrow. We'll see

2587
02:14:31,320 --> 02:14:42,160
Speaker 2: it one
