00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by Calita Health. All Right,

2
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: welcome into a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

3
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, And it was just announced that

4
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: Bill's GM Brandon Bean and head coach Sean McDermott will

5
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: be addressing the media tomorrow for their season wrap up

6
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: press conferences. Brandon Bean will be coming our way at

7
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: eleven am and then Sean McDermott is scheduled for two

8
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. So we hope to be able to

9
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: bring that to you live on tomorrow's show coach McDermott

10
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: when he addresses the media two o'clock. So we'll keep

11
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: you abreast of all of that, but that's essentially where

12
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: it sits right now, and we'll let you know if

13
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: there are any schedule changes. But we'll get there low

14
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: down on the season that was, and undoubtedly they will

15
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: be expressing a lot of the same frustration that fans

16
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: have been expressing for the better part of the last

17
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: couple of days, especially with the way the AFC Title

18
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: Game went on Sunday night. But it'll be good to

19
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: hear from them, get their assessments of the season that was.

20
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: I think there were certainly a lot of things that

21
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: probably went even better than anticipated. Sure, there are always

22
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: shortcomings when you don't get the ultimate prize in this

23
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: league and only one team gets it. As Josh said

24
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: the other day, there's thirty one on a happy teams everything.

25
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, today was I don't know this too. We've been

26
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: going through it here. We do the show and Brownie

27
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: and I kind of talk through some things and it's

28
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: kind of like on the job therapy for us. But today,

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: today's the first day I actually answered any texts from

30
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: anybody because I was I was totally radio silent. I

31
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: was ghosting everybody, and you can imagine the text loops

32
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm on. Some of them are pretty pretty passionate. I

33
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: told Thurman this today. I texted Thurman and said, you

34
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: know this, this one hurt like the old days.

35
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: You know.

36
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: So it's Wednesday, and I'm, you know, all right, trying

37
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: to shake it off, shaking it off. But it took.

38
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: And I know I'm not alone. I know a lot

39
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: of Bill's Mafia people and the people in our building too.

40
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I was, you know, you kind of go

41
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: around and give people hugs. After that season, Uh, what

42
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: a great year. It was great, great regular season, even

43
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: great playoff run and then to see it end by

44
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 2: the by razor's edge of a game, like you knew

45
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: it was gonna be. That stinks. But here we are.

46
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm starting to come back. So I'm yeah,

47
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: I'm ready for the postseason pressers with Bean and McDermott.

48
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: And I know one thing Steve's not ready for, and

49
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: that's the draft.

50
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, not yet.

51
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: He's like, I am not ready for a draft yet, dude.

52
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: So I got on it. There's a bunch of there's

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of draft sites like Tankathon and NFL Draft Buzz,

54
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: and there's in a bunch of websites you can go

55
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: to and they keep track, try to keep track of

56
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: all these young players in Birmingham. And I open it

57
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: up and mobile, Yeah, yeah, I have not opened one

58
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: of those websites in you know, eight months since the draft,

59
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: and sigh, heavy, heavy, heavy, sigh.

60
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: Cramming three and fifty some odd players in our brains

61
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: and I now and then.

62
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 2: Brownie's better at it than I am. I I go down,

63
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: I read the evaluations I don't and I'll watch some

64
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: film and I'll pick maybe a handful of guys that

65
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: I like, but I I don't really even bother with

66
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: any players that are not at a position that the

67
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills could possibly might be interested in. Yeah, and

68
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: that at this point, I mean whatever, you know, you're

69
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: gonna pick thirtieth, and I'm about to go. We can

70
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: go down this rabbit hole all you want. But you think, okay,

71
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: so they're picking thirtieth. It's hard to get an leade guy.

72
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: And they drafted guys Greg Russe, Kincaid Coleman, Ed Ed

73
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: was the top ten pick or number ten. Huh kyr.

74
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: And you think, you know, it's hard to get an

75
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: elite dude at thirty. Ed was at ten. But you know,

76
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: when you're not drafted in the top five or top

77
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: seven or top ten, yeah, you get good guys. They're good.

78
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: These guys are good, but they ain't Miles Garrett, right,

79
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: you know, they're not Khalil Mack when he was young.

80
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: The word on this year's class is there's only about

81
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: eight elite talents in the entire class. Yeah, so now

82
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: very deep now class in terms of blue chippers.

83
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna want to talking to hyperbole a little bit,

84
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: but you're you know, you're you're in the clearance aisle.

85
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 3: You know.

86
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: But that if that's the case, that really sucks for

87
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: teams that are picking twelve and thirteen. Yeah, like you

88
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: didn't even get to the playoffs. Yeah, and you're still

89
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: not going to get a supreme.

90
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: Player to help you you get your You're picking fifteenth

91
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: in the draft or whatever, or you know, tenth in

92
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: the draft, and it's like you might miss out, you know,

93
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: so I to me that. So now here we are

94
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: in the rabbit hole. Now you're thinking, Okay, let's get

95
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: guys who are already proven, let's.

96
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: Get them, let's make a trade, let's get up.

97
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: You know, and like they did with von they got

98
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: like a good, really nice season first season out of Vaughn.

99
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: But then you're kind of stuck. He he gets hurt

100
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: and no d D Dad. So you go down that ride.

101
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: It's like, what'll it take to get a guy like

102
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett? Or you going to go down the route

103
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: of Khalil Mack where he's gonna.

104
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: He's just a free agent, right, he's a free agent, right?

105
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Is he exactly? But he's thirty five? Does he have

106
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: more to offer?

107
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: Right? So you go down this road now you're thinking, Okay,

108
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: who's out there, and what does it take to get

109
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: one of the probably one of these guys off their team.

110
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: What's it take to get Max Crossby off the Raiders? Right, Pete, Carol?

111
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: What do you think, bro? What's it gonna take? And

112
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: then you started thinking, because we got a ton of

113
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: draft picks, we're right at the cap right thereabouts. You

114
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: know we can, we can, we can create some cap

115
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: space if we need to. But so now we're here,

116
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: we are, So we're gonna get a guy at thirty

117
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 2: or whatever, maybe bundle some picks, move up. But if

118
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: you move up, you can't move into the top ten.

119
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: It's just you have to give away a mountain of assets.

120
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: Some of you don't care about giving up, but some

121
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: of them's like, gosh, she you know, to get a

122
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: guy get into the top ten for a guy who

123
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 2: might be, could be maybe is the right.

124
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: Guy, that's a big ad.

125
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm talking about this.

126
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: Well, if if it helps you, I'll pass along that.

127
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: There is other bills transactional news that we wanted to

128
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: pass along to you. It happened late yesterday, but the

129
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: bills signed wide receivers Tyrrel Shavers and Jalen Virgil to

130
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: reserve futures contracts to other players that were on the

131
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: practice squad. They signed a half a dozen earlier in

132
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: the week. Another two here, you know, Tyrrel Shavers flash

133
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: this year, got up, got called up, had a nice touchdown.

134
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: What was that against the Jets? Right, Yes, Mitchell Krubisky

135
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: of all people through the touchdown pass?

136
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: Yes, right, he had the quick screen that he snapped

137
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: off the face like forty nine yards. That was awesome.

138
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Shavers is back. Virgil was another guy that

139
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: got called up three times during the season. Played didn't

140
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: catch a pass, but did play so and factored in

141
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: on special teams a little bit, coverage teams, things like that.

142
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: So those guys will be back on the off season

143
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: roster for this season. Yeah, so good to see those

144
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: guys kind of you know, try It's interesting they can

145
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: eke out a spot on the activity.

146
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: And I know too, and the reaction and I was

147
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: the same way. We went through this in the last

148
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: couple of days where the Bills got some things going on,

149
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: and you get into these last two or three games

150
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: of the season and you start to see you know

151
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: how you couldn't rise up in this area, you didn't

152
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: do it well good enough job in that area, or

153
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: this came crashing down in this game. But the simple

154
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is the Bills have this process

155
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: to go through the off season the regular season, and

156
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: it is and it has proven to be money. They

157
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: are taking a swing at it every year. Now. I

158
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: know that, and I don't want to I don't want

159
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: to accuse anybody, but the lazy way to think about

160
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: that as well, they got Josh Allen. It's gonna be easy. Well,

161
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: there are other teams that have really good quarterbacks who

162
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: can't get a whiff of where the Bills are every year,

163
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: and because they get off to a slow like the

164
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: Bengals get off to a slow start, or the Chargers

165
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: it's a new head coach, the Jaguars it's another new

166
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: head coach. They get they're just there's too many things

167
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 2: wrong with them. But this the way the Bills are

168
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: doing it now, year in year out. Get them to

169
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: the point where we just had the huge disappointment on Sunday.

170
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: You don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

171
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: They are doing everything right. And here's the thing, and

172
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: you say, well, if you're running, if you and we

173
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: went through this in the twenty thirteen after they came

174
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: back from the thirteen second game and got put out

175
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: in the divisional round by the Chiefs, when they came

176
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: back again and they got you think, well, if you

177
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: keep doing everything the same, nothing's gonna change. And that

178
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: is not reality in this and when we're talking about

179
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: the NFL and football teams and all of that, it

180
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: is not reality because everything changes around you all the time.

181
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: And I and let me just put it to you.

182
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: If lightning strikes Andy Reid, things change all over the NFL,

183
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: right if lightnings. If Pat Mahomes snaps his ankle in

184
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: Week one through a fluky misstep on running out of bounds,

185
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: things change in the NFL. If the Chiefs have a

186
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: guy that come in and all of a sudden, he

187
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 2: if the Bills, everything changes around You've got to do

188
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: things the right way all the time, which is what

189
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: the Bills have been doing, and get to that point

190
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: every year, everything is going to be different once you

191
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: get there. Like it was this year. We all felt it.

192
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, you got the same result, but

193
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: it was that's what you got to do. To get there.

194
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: You got to get there, and doing things the way

195
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: they do it is getting them there every year, and

196
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: that's what you got to remember. Everything everything You got

197
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: to get multiple swings, and everything is changing all the

198
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: time on other teams and in your team, So don't

199
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 2: get caught up in this insanity is repeating the same

200
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 2: thing and expecting different results. Listen, everything is changing all

201
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: the time inside this building, let alone the thirty one

202
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: other buildings. So don't get caught up in it's going

203
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: to be the same result because we're doing everything the same.

204
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 2: Everything is changing all the time. You're trying to, you know,

205
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: to put it together. So the recipe is gonna be

206
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: this recipe. This year for the Bills was different than

207
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 2: it was last year and the year before that, and

208
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: the year before that and the year before that. So

209
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 2: the process is the same. The recipe always changes, the

210
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: league always changes. So don't get caught up in thinking

211
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: that we're not gonna have a better result because are

212
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: because we're our process is the same. Don't get caught

213
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: up in that. This is gonna be a new draft class.

214
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna have new players, you're gonna get, you're gonna

215
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 2: lose players off this really good team, just like you

216
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: did last year. So don't think running it back like

217
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: this fingercull running it back, which somebody came up with

218
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: for a you know, for a football team. It's impossible

219
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: to run it back, even though they think you're trying

220
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: to and are running it back because you got new players,

221
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: new different The Miami Dolphins are gonna be different, The

222
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: Tape Patriots are really gonna be different, The Jets are

223
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: gonna be really different. Everything's gonna be different. Don't count

224
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: on the Bills being the same after coming back and

225
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: trying to get all these guys back. They got to

226
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: come back and do what they do because they are

227
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: always right there. And certainly Josh is a big part

228
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: of it, but so is McDermott, so is Brandon and

229
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: Brian Gain and all these guys. These guys are hitting it.

230
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: So the catastrophic disappointment we just faced four days ago,

231
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 2: don't think that this is a team that can't replicate

232
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: the process and put it together in a way that's

233
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 2: going to get him back there, because that's what it's

234
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: all about. That's where I'm at today.

235
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: Okay, well State, That's where I'm at today. CBS Sports

236
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: dot commas reporting that the Patriots are going to hire

237
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: Bills Nickel coach and senior defensive assistant Scott Booker. No

238
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: wordy yet on what his position will be, but he

239
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: was a safety's coach under Mike Vrabel with the Tennessee

240
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: Titans for six seasons.

241
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: So it's two.

242
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: People who are very familiar with one another's work, so

243
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be a tremendous surprise. So that's being reported

244
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: by CBS Sports dot Com. We should go around the

245
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: NFL now presented by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of

246
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy

247
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: has bowed out of the Saints head coaching search as

248
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: New Orleans focus narrows. Among those who have interviewed and

249
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: are still in the candidate pool, Miami defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver,

250
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: Philadelphia offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.

251
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo OC Joe Brady Washington OC Cliff Kingsbury both pulled

252
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: out as head coaching candidates along with McCarthy, so that

253
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: pool has narrowed considerably. And what's going on down there well,

254
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: there's word that they're supposedly waiting on Kellen Moore and

255
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: they'll wait till after the Super Bowl. They're claiming he's

256
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: the The reports are that he's the favorite to land

257
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: this job.

258
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: The reports are that it's perfunctory interviews for these other guys.

259
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about that, but people are like,

260
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: why is it taking so long? And the assumption is

261
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: they're waiting on Kellen Moore to get done with the

262
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, then they'll name him the head coach.

263
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: What if Kellen Moore says no, thank you. I mean,

264
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: he may have already been offered the job.

265
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, we don't know. He might be lying

266
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: in wait.

267
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: But he might be saying I don't know, well, he might.

268
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: Be saying, let's keep it quiet. I don't want to distract,

269
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, my Eagles players, you know that kind of thing.

270
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: Got a big game, kind of got a big game coming.

271
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: Up that may that maybe come about, that might come

272
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: about in the process of these guys. Mike McCarty in

273
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,880

Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yeah, and with all the media

276
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: down there, that's probably gonna leak. I mean, if he's

277
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: the guy, you know what I mean?

278

Speaker 2: you see him out to dinner.

00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: And have more media in that city than anywhere else

281
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: on the planet.

282
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not going to hide anything. No, And now

283
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: that's going to be flying around. People are going to

Speaker 2: want to know, where's Kellen Moore having dinner? Media day,

Speaker 2: what's he gonna do?

287
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna keep that under wraps for about three more days.

288

Speaker 2: Where's what's what's the uh, what's the GM name down there?

00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: They had gumbo together on Tuesday.

292
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: Believe me, you've seen it. Well, that'll happen.

293
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: Uh jeez, seen it.

294
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: I lived it.

295
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: Uh Yeah. During the AFC Championship, we know that. CBS

296
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: Rules analyst Jeens Sterotor on the broadcast. The telecast said

297
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: he believed Bill's quarterback Josh Allen got the ball to

298
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: the sticks on the key fourth down play in the

299
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: fourth quarter when the Bills led the Chiefs twenty two

300
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: to twenty one. Someone else agrees. Fox Rules analyst Dean Blandino,

301
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: former NFL Senior VP of Officiating, agreed of all things.

302
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: He was interviewed by TMZ and said, the spot on

303
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: the fourth down was close, but when I watched it live,

304
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: I thought it was a first down. I really did.

305
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Thought he made the big line. It was close. When

306
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: you watch the two officials, one official coming in from

307
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: the top looked like that official had the spot at

308
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: the line to gain. The other official coming from the

309
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: near side, had it just short. When you have those situations,

310
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: who does the ball open up to? Does one official

311
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: defer to the other? I thought they both had fairly

312
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: decent looks at it. They went with the spot that

313
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: was short, and once you get it that closed, it's

314
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to overturn it.

315
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't overturn That's one of the downsides of

316
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: that play. You can't.

317
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get it over. He basically miss it,

318
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: but Blandino basically confirmed that line. Judge Jeff Seeman on

319
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: the far side, who had it at the line take

320
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: yielded his spot. Yeah, I don't need to the down

321
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: judge Patrick Holt on the near side.

322
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: I don't deny that Blandino saw it exactly like all

323
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: the rest of us saw it. For those of you

324
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: who don't know, Dean Blandino was the top officiating executive

325
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: for the National Football League for a minute. He got

326
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: hired away by the networks because he was so good

327
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: by Fox by Fox and then Mike, and that was

328
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: after he took over from Mike Pereira, who was hired

329
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: away by the NFL networks because he was so good.

330
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: That left Al rivern as the last guy in the

331
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: room who was not very good.

332
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: He's the guy who didn't overturn the Let.

333
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: Me so, let's go down the list. He did. He

334
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: didn't overturn the call. The He did overturn the touchdown

335
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: catch by Kelvin Benjamin in New England, who would have

336
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: given the Bills a lead in that game. He took

337
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: away a touchdown that the Buffalo Bills got in a

338
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: playoff game, which was illegal to do at the time,

339
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: and still did it.

340
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: Called New York.

341
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 2: So that guy, that guy is now out of there.

342
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: He resigned, he was out. He's out of there. He's

343
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 2: been out of there for a couple of years now,

344
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: and I don't know who the guy is now, but

345
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 2: obviously he.

346
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: Did Walt Anderson.

347
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 2: Walt Anderson did not step in and say no, he

348
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 2: got it, so thanks for nothing. So there's the there's

349
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: a little bit of a lineage of how that went

350
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: down in New York. So yeah, if you have a

351
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 2: big business, let mean, this is just in Brownie. You know,

352
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: I don't work for anybody. I don't, you know, I'm

353
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: just it's just me. I don't have a business on

354
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: my own. I don't have employees or anything like that.

355
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: But if I did, my number one job, in my opinion,

356
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: is to hire good people and keep them. The league

357
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: got under got sabotaged by having good people headhunted by

358
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: the broadcast partners. So yeah, and here we see.

359
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: So naturally there's a groundswell of support for the hospite

360
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: talking about the draft for the Hawkeye, for the Hawkeye

361
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: technology that we first heard about last year, which was

362
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: tested in the preseason last summer to electronically determine forward

363
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: progress of the ball. The bottom line is it needs

364
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: to be implemented. What I implemented. What I'm tired of

365
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: hearing is the league considering making necessary necessary changes because

366
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: the Bills were victims of something. Yeah, I mean whether

367
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: it's changing the overtime rules or changing this. But I'm

368
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: tired of the Bills being the team that's on the

369
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: short end to enact change like this.

370
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's listen, that's what they did to well,

371
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have helped. They tried to change it for

372
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: the Saints when they had the Nicole Roby Coleman Coleman

373
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 2: pass interference in the NFC Championship game that caused the

374
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: Saints the Rams did not get the conversion or no.

375
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: They know they got it. They got the converse Saints.

376
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: The Saints got.

377
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: The Saints are the only other team that might have

378
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: a bea.

379
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: And that's a real one on par with that. That's

380
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: a super Bowl trip.

381
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: Not just that one. There have been others for the

382
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: Saints too, as I understand it, I'm not able to

383
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: know the history, but they've had a couple of screw

384
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: jobs as well.

385
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 2: And I'll say this to also super Bowl title all

386
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: fall back on my on my mantra that I'll say.

387
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 2: I even say this in the national media too, that

388
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 2: when you got close games all over the league, which

389
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: is what the league strives for and they've they've accomplished it.

390
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: When the game comes to push and shove and you

391
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 2: do you want the rules enforced or not? And you

392
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 2: got to come down to grips with that because you

393
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: going to have officials enforcing the rules and players get

394
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 2: desperate in desperate moments of the game and they break

395
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: the rules because they're trying too hard. You've got to

396
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: call those penalties. Either got to be ready to call

397
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: those penalties or not call them, because if you don't

398
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: call them and it's a foul, now you've got a problem.

399
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: If you Chris Jones lining up in the neutrals.

400
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: And if you do call it, and if you do

401
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 2: call it and it's a foul, you got a think

402
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 2: like the Buffalo Bills winning that game in Kansas City

403
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: when Kadarius Tony lined up four inches off the off

404
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: sides and you bring back a touchdown pass in a

405
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: crucial moment of a game that costs the Chiefs the game.

406
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: But that was a penalty. Yeah, So anytime you get

407
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: a bunch of games, they're gonna be very tight laid

408
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 2: in the game and the officials are forced to make

409
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: a call, well, you're gonna have some people that are unhappy,

410
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: particularly if they don't get it right.

411
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: Yep.

412
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: So that's where we sit with the officiating, and I'll

413
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: always you know, I'll always come to their defense when

414
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: they deserve it because I know it's a tough spot.

415
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: But if it's a foul, call it a foul. The

416
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 2: problem is you call it founds like, well, it's it's

417
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 2: barely a foul, and he didn't call that in the

418
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: first quarter, and it's then you're now now you're in

419
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: a rabbit hole. So that's where we sit it.

420
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: When you're either be the crew that calls all of

421
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: those or be the crew that calls none of those,

422
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: but be one or the other.

423
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 2: Don't miss it both ways in the same game, right,

424
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's where we're at. And I get this too.

425
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: This is gonna call they'll come down to. And they

426
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 2: do have that. They got an eye in the sky,

427
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: but even the eye in the sky was caught not

428
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 2: willing to overturn a spot like that. That's huge, that's huge.

429
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: And you got you don't have enough cameras. I mean

430
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 2: I I don't have enough cameras. If you've got a

431
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 2: sky cam on a quarterback, sneak. Put the sky cam

432
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 2: over the ball, please.

433
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: Right over the line of scrimmage or the line to

434
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: game one or the other.

435
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: There you go.

436
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: I think we've said.

437
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: Enough here, So yeah, I mean, that's it's always gonna

438
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: it's always going to be an issue, always and forever.

439
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: You'll never get away from this.

440
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm just tired of the Bills.

441
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 2: Never get away from this, and and it's we're gonna

442
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: have to live with it and stuff, and you know,

443
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 2: sooner or later maybe, and and in some and there's

444
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 2: probably been times and you always forget those where it

445
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 2: probably did go your way. And some of the Bill's

446
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: opponents will probably tell you they'll come up with ideas

447
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 2: about where the Bills have been.

448
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and Oliver didn't get called for shoving bow

449
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: Nicks out of here for the Denver playoff game. He

450
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: should have got a fifteen yard penalty for hitting them

451
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: too late that didn't get flagged.

452
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: That's right.

453
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: So there are examples, but they just don't seem to

454
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: come in the very in the second quarter, the examples

455
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: of the game.

456
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: Because not quite. The example is the fourth and one

457
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, when it's three and a half

458
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: minutes to go right, so up one, up one. That

459
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 2: that's how that's how it goes. And that's it's always

460
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: going to be an issue because it's because it's difficult.

461
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: It's just ponderous. It's difficult, all right, we all we

462
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 1: have to move on. We all know super Bowl ads

463
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: are super expensive, but at least ten commercials to air

464
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: during Super Bowl fifty nine on Fox have sold for

465
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: eight million dollars, according to multiple reports today. Fox reported

466
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: in November that it had sold out of ad spots

467
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: at what it said believed to be record pricing. Fox

468
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: CEO Lachlan Murdock said at the time, as spots were dwindling,

469
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: the price increased. According to reports, super Bowl ads normally

470
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: increase about one hundred k a year. This year, the

471
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: increase was reportedly closer to five hundred k from last year.

472
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: Around one hundred and twenty three point seven million people

473
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: watched the Super Bowl last year, according to Nielsen, and

474
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and fifteen million watched in twenty

475
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: twenty three, the last time the Super Bowl aired on Fox.

476
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: So, yeah, do you make anything about the there's always

477
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 2: this little thing on social people are so mad they're

478
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 2: going to boycott the Super Bowl. I'll bet you they'll

479
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: set a record.

480
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: They probably will.

481
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 2: They'll probably set a record.

482
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: I think I heard Jeremy and Joe this morning listing

483
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: the top five fan bases that have threatened to boycott

484
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: based on social media response. You can probably guess them, but.

485
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 2: Sure the top three Bill's Raiders, Chargers, no Broncos.

486
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: It was Bill's number one. The Lions were number three,

487
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: and I should know number two. It wasn't why I

488
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: think it might have been Washington. I don't think it

489
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: was Washington, was somebody else anyway, Bills were number one.

490
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: H So there you go. NFL Executive vice president Jeff

491
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: Miller says the new dynamic kickoff rule led to a

492
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: fifty seven percent increase in returns. The average starting field

493
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: position improved by several yards. Interesting that they don't give

494
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: you specific numbers there, with more touchdowns numbers not again given,

495
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: more returns past the forty yard line, no percentage given there,

496
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: and a lower injury rate. Again no percentages. So when

497
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: the numbers, when the specific numbers usually aren't revealed, that

498
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: means the change was better negligible, But they were negligible

499
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: in terms of yeah, seven percent.

500
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: The only one that they cared about was the injury rate.

501
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: Right now, well, injury rate and rate of return, and

502
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: rate of return the fifty seven percent increase is notable.

503
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: There are here is they like that play is going

504
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: to stay.

505
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: The rule change will stay. I would tweak it if

506
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 2: I was them. If you want to make it a

507
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: really dynamic and a free wheeling play with a lot

508
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 2: more problems, all you really have to do is expand

509
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: the landing area five to ten yards where the ball

510
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 2: can be drilled down there and line shot and land

511
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: on the ground and bounce around. Once the ball is

512
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 2: on the ground bouncing, the clock stops and the coverage

513
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: team is released. And if it bounces into the end zone,

514
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: the other team only gets it at the twenty. So

515
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: they're going to have to be very very motivated to

516
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 2: pick it up as quick as they can and start running.

517
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: If they expand the landing area and let the ball

518
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: and let the kickers start to drop it and line

519
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 2: driving in there, the lid would come off. I don't

520
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: think they'll do that though, unfortunately, I think that'd be

521
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: so fun.

522
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: We are going to take a break here, but before

00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 1: three h five fifty b patient, we will get to you.

538
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: To Judy and Buffalo to lead us off, though, what's

539
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: up Judy?

540
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 4: To answer your question, I think the biggest surprise of

541
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 4: this year was Matt Collins team made a come tremendous

542
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 4: difference on this team. So I want to know the

543
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 4: Bills need to find somebody impactful that can run down

544
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 4: the field, take some defenders away from the our other

545
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 4: quality receivers and then find a couple of two three

546
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 4: defenders on our team that can help us take the

547
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 4: ball from the from the other team.

548
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think they need to get some better

549
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: players on defense. From you know, an athletics standpoint, they

550
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: have to get faster on defense. I think that's pretty clear.

551
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: Taking the ball away is not a problem though they

552
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: do that well and always have under Sean McDermott. So

553
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that you're not looking for ballhawks necessarily.

554
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: I think you need faster players. You need more instinctive

555
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: players like Terrell Bernard, you know, who makes impact plays.

556
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: So I agree with you there, Judy, and I think

557
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: you need a premier pass rusher, a proven pass rusher

558
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: that ends games. They thought they were getting that in

559
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: von Miller. They got it for the first half of

560
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: his first season here. Then he tears his ACL and

561
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: it all goes up and smoke, and it was never

562
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: the same. So you want to try to find another

563
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: proven player in the league that you can trade for

564
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: or sign a free agency. I will one hundred percent

565
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: listen to that. So I sayd I probably agree with

566
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of what.

567
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, defensively, you'd like to get him a little bit

568
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: harder to move the ball on. You'd like to get

569
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: him a little better in the back, a little more

570
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: athletic in the back end. You'd like a Now, Christian

571
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: Benford was very high in the analytics and the way

572
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: he covered this year when he was when he was healthy.

573
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: At the end of the year he got a couple

574
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: of concussions.

575
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: Now, you know, but there were shortcomings and coverage. The

576
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: team gave up a sixty eight percent completion rate this year.

577
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: That's a problem. That's a real problem. And you know,

578
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 2: Milano had struggled to stay healthy. The defensive line was good,

579
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: not great.

580
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: Safeties were in it out of the lineup.

581
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: Safeties were rotating because of injury, because of injuries, and yeah,

582
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: so they they couldn't find it in the defensive side

583
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: of the football, but they made up for it with

584
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: their ability to punch the ball out and get turnovers.

585
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: That that made the defense fine. I mean, you could

586
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: never really call them out for not because they turned

587
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 2: out turnovers. So if you're talking about personnel, yeah, there's

588
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: no question they're going to bring in some competition in

589
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: probably a lot of a Uh, position groups, but the

590
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 2: production of I mean this, this is a team that

591
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: was getting it done exactly. Their recipe defensively was a

592
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: little bit about their offense.

593
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 5: Uh.

594
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: And it was dictated not only by the fact they

595
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: needed to turn the football over and give it back

596
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 2: to the offense, but their offensive ability to run the

597
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: football and control the entire game from one side of

598
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: the football instead of two sides or four sides. You

599
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: know this, that was their recipe this year. It's gonna

600
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: have It'll be different next year. We'll see. But this

601
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: offensive line is all coming back. They're all under contract,

602
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: and they just resigned their third tackle or fourth tackle, Vandermark.

603
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: So this team pretty much all coming back to for

604
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: the most part. I think Will Clap might be the

605
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: only free agent.

606
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: Mark's coming back in Tyland great and Pray and Grainger

607
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: as so, yeah, they're gonna be They're gonna be good

608
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: up front again next year. And yeah, a lot of

609
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: what you said is exactly on point. But we'll see

610
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: that they got to They did do a good job

611
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 2: defensively because they got the turnovers, but because that's unpredictable,

612
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: they're going to bring in some competition at all these

613
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: position groups defensively and offensively as well. Because they got

614
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: some guys that are whose contracts are running out there

615
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: either resign them or signed some competition.

616
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: H And mccollins is a good pick there. Judy led

617
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: the team in receiving touchdowns. I think if anybody was

618
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: asked to guess who was going to lead the team

619
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: in receiving touchdowns in twenty twenty four, mccollins would not

620
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 1: have been their first choice. But there he is at

621
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: the end of the season, and made plays in the

622
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: playoffs too, So he showed up big. I mean, you

623
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: want to talk about exceeding expectations, he did that and

624
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: contributed on special teams.

625
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,959
Speaker 2: There's something about guys who show up in big moments there.

626
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: It's a mentality.

627
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: He did it. He did, Yeah, he did.

628
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: And I'll say this too, he didn't do it for

629
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: anybody else. This guy's an eight year, nine year veteran.

630
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: He is playing his best foot, the best foot, best

631
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: football of his career was here in Buffalo this year

632
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 2: on a team that was a hair's breath from going

633
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. That's a hard guy to see.

634
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: You walk out the door, and I'm with a lot

635
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: of bills. Fancy, that's that guy's got to be a priority.

636
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not breaking the bank, but.

637
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: You give him a nice raise and say, come on back,

638
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: let's we do have.

639
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: To have it. And if a mac, I mean, how's

640
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: mccollins want to I mean, unless somebody like jumps financially

641
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: for him, he's got to be saying, man, this is

642
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: my spot. Yeah, so you know, you don't know if

643
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 2: that's the case or whatever, but man, oh man, that's

644
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: uh yeah, it's a great answer. Judy and mccollins.

645
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: All right, A lot of people on hold here, but

646
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: we move along. We go to Butcher on the east side.

647
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: What do you got?

648
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 6: But gentlemen, thanks so much for taking my call. I

649
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 6: love MSG, I love wgr and all the fans around

650
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 6: the world.

651
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 7: I love you.

652
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 6: I'm gonna get right to it. Last couple of days

653
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 6: I was gonna call, but I let everybody have their

654
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 6: piece in their say. I'm going to go go on

655
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 6: this side of the ball office. Next Wednesday, I'll call

656
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 6: you on the defensive side. But right now, I'm gonna

657
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 6: give right to it before we spend a quarter of

658
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 6: our money, before we draft a pick of what's going on.

659
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 6: Let's get down to something right now, Steve. I love you,

660
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 6: You my guy, Brownie, you my guy. But everybody has

661
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 6: a narrative. I'm kind of pissed right now at Joe Brady.

662
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 6: Really i am. This is why I'm upset. When Joe

663
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 6: Brady knew when we beat Baltimore we had seven days

664
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 6: to prepare for one of the biggest games of his

665
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 6: career and not his career, of our Buffalo Bill's legacy.

666
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 8: He waited.

667
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 6: He prepared his football team the way he wanted to prepare.

668
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 7: Game planning per se.

669
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 6: He waited till the day before the game to announce

670
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 6: that he's not taking a job and he's going to

671
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 6: stay in Buffalore. All eyes on you. You took the

672
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 6: narrative and you put it on you. So when announceers

673
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 6: like Brownie, you are aaric doing wonderful jobs, and all

674
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,239
Speaker 6: the people around the world who's listening, they're focusing on

675
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 6: Brady and his offense. He came out in a spread offense.

676
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 6: He didn't do what we did all year to get

677
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 6: to where we got you. He went a spread offense.

678
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 6: First snap, Josh almost to do an interception, second snap,

679
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 6: Josh almost do another interception. So I'm sitting back, wait,

680
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 6: not just me, the whole people that I'm watching the

681
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 6: game with and seeing what kind of offense is this? Brownie,

682
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 6: You and Steed we always collaborate and been talking all

683
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 6: season long about draw plays, screenpays, using your backs. Now

684
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,959
Speaker 6: to my Queen Judy, I concur with you regarding Mac,

685
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 6: but my choice is the bell cow. It's James Cook.

686
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 6: He to the fact that he touched the ball four

687
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 6: times in thirty minutes, and he supposed to be your

688
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 6: bell cow. You did not run basically off your offense

689
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 6: that you normally ran during the season to get us

690
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 6: where we got it. It's so much he was creating

691
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 6: things as he goes. I feel bad for my guy

692
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 6: Josh and reason why he came out and put the

693
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 6: Buffalo Bills offense not thirteen seconds, I'm gonna call it

694
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 6: fourteen seconds. And he started like he's going to be

695
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 6: a shootout. And that's where we lost it at when

696
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 6: they started blitching and Stephen Brown and you guys know this,

697
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 6: any time someone blitched you right like their defense wasn't

698
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 6: that great. They just called plays at the right time

699
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 6: when they should have. During this last week, you know,

700
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 6: they blitched blitzing Buffalo. You should have had draw plays.

701
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 6: You should have screenplays to your back, You should have

702
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 6: curls tossing to your back. Josh was looking downfield all

703
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 6: the time, because that's how Joe Brady's had his wide

704
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 6: receiver going deep instead of short. One two bowl out,

705
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 6: one two, bawl out.

706
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 5: He did not do that.

707
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 6: So I say that, and then I thank you so

708
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 6: much for taking my call. And I don't want to

709
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 6: be so added, but I'm so adam because I'm a

710
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 6: Bills guehard to the point where a guy took the

711
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 6: narrative and he could have waited to after the game

712
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 6: they said I'm not going to take the job. He

713
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 6: put all eyes on him because he knew that offense.

714
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 6: He knew, he knew Ben Johnson's going, he knew Glenn

715
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 6: doctor job, and he's gonna be the high care coordinator

716
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 6: going into next season for a head coaching job. So

717
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 6: that was his OJT to show the ownerships at all

718
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 6: thirty one of their teams what I can do. And

719
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 6: a backfire. And even though we try to accumulate that

720
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 6: in Brownie and I Let you guys go, is that

721
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 6: you call a play when I said last week about

722
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 6: up tempo. They did that. You even said it, Brownie,

723
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 6: you call the game with James Cooks scored a touchdown,

724
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 6: they went up Temple. They should have did that at

725
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 6: the beginning game since he was going to run that

726
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 6: type of offense.

727
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 8: But he did.

728
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 6: But thanks so much to taking my call. I love

729
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 6: you guys for the staff there at WGR MSG, I

730
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 6: salute you guys.

731
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I meant in defense of Joe Brady,

732
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: I will say, knowing him as I do, and I

733
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: feel like I know him a little bit better than

734
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: our listeners, are callers, the fans in general. The man's

735
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: as selfless as they come. And I think he and

736
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: bounces that he's not going to keep himself in contention

737
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: for the Saints job because he's trying to remove that

738
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: as a distraction for his players before they go out

739
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: on the field. I think his intention was the exact opposite.

740
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think I'm trying to.

741
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: Bring attention to himself. He's trying to get it off

742
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: of him.

743
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 2: And I'll say this as a player, it's it was

744
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: I could have put myself in when I was playing.

745
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 2: We had Teddy Marchibroda as the offensive coordinator who was

746
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 2: the ke gun. He invented it and turned it loose

747
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 2: and developed it and the whole thing it evolved into that.

748
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 2: It was a brilliant move by him to allow that

749
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: offense to be run in the NFL, and he got

750
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 2: hired away after we went to two straight Super Bowls.

751
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: And if he had come out and said done what

752
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: Joe Brady did, it would have been a huge boost

753
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: for the club, not not a distraction that's you want

754
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: because you've these guys lived together and we've heard it

755
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 2: and people say it like it's a given. Not all

756
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: these teams have a relationship personal relationships inside the locker

757
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 2: room like you might think this is. This is a

758
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: group that's very close and very very tight knit. And

759
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 2: to have your one of your boys, Joe Brady say hey,

760
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: I ain't going anywhere, guys, I'm sticking around. I'm taking

761
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 2: my name out of the head coaching jo just like, wow, awesome, man,

762
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: let's go. This is great. I'm so glad.

763
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 7: You know.

764
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: That's thing. He did it in an effort to try

765
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: to help imagine.

766
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 2: They timed it so that it would come out exactly

767
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 2: and have the effect opposite of what you think it was.

768
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: So I think they handled the announcement of his staying

769
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 2: exactly the way you should have handled it. In defens

770
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: Now there's no doubt, but you're right, that was a

771
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: slow start in a game you didn't think you needed.

772
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 2: You could have a slow start.

773
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: First play of the game was a Josh Allen Design run.

774
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: Though they didn't go throw throw. They went Josh Allen

775
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: Design run. Then they threw the ball right.

776
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: And both those throws were horrific. And I think Josh

777
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 2: came out like, like sugar Hi Josh did a few

778
00:38:59,400 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: years ago.

779
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: What Josh always say, give me a run early so

780
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: I can get a hit in and it'll calm me down.

781
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Joe Brady called the Design run

782
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: and he got.

783
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 2: Hit and I think, and I don't think Joe would

784
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 2: come out and say this to Josh, And I don't know.

785
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 2: I'm just talking here. The way I see it, Joe

786
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: probably was talking to Josh. Everybody has interactions before the game.

787
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 2: You're talking about guys. You feel the locker room. You

788
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: know what your locker room looks like pregame, you know

789
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 2: what they look like in a great game. They know,

790
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: you know what they look like when they have a

791
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: bad game. You know what it feels like in the

792
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 2: locker room. And Joe Brady's probably looking at Josh going,

793
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I got to peel this. He got it? Whoa,

794
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna let you run it on

795
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 2: the first play to knock that out of you. Let's

796
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 2: get you settled down. And it took him minute for

797
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: Josh gets settled down, and to his credit, he did

798
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 2: settle down and got him back into it and got

799
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 2: him the lead in third quarter. But it took him

800
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 2: in it. And I think Joe Brady knew he was

801
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 2: gonna have to handle Josh in this game, and that

802
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: part of the slow start was them trying to peel

803
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: Josh off the ceiling.

804
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: And then second of the game, after the Chiefs go

805
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: down and score first and ten Anderson on the field,

806
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: James Cook run illegal formation. Now it's first and fifteen.

807
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: You gotta throw goes to King Kid eleven yards, second

808
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: and four. Ty Johnson in the game. Run the ball,

809
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: get three yards there or whatever it was. One yard

810
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: Now it's third and three. Gotta throw convert Shakir twelve

811
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: yards great, that's how this offense is. Look going to

812
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: your third down guy first and ten Anderson back in

813
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: the game. They go play action, Josh Allen pass incomplete

814
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: because he's still a little skittish right now. So now

815
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: you're on second and ten goes to Cooper for nine. Okay,

816
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: now we got third and one. Josh Allen sneak good

817
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: first down drive continues. Here comes Alec Anderson again, hand

818
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: off to James Cook. Like, I'm not really agreeing with

819
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: your narrative here, Butch, they tried to run the ball

820
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: with Cook didn't he wasn't in at the end of

821
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: the game. Probably should have been in some capacity. I'll

822
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: agree with you on that, but don't tell me that

823
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: they didn't use what they've used all season. They tried

824
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: to and I really did with you.

825
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: James Cook is one of the he's a stud's he's

826
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 2: one of the best backs in the league. Run and pass.

827
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: And that's a good picking and it is.

828
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: And so you're I'm with you for some of what

829
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: you said.

830
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: But they tried to do what they've done all season.

831
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: They really did.

832
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 2: But when you're we're a little bit dispassionate. Both Brownie

833
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 2: and I and all the fans and all of us

834
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 2: out here, I think we forget in large measure, it's

835
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 2: a human being game and that's what coaches do. They're

836
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 2: handling their players as human beings and they're giving them

837
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 2: stuff to do they know they can do well. That's

838
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 2: we have heard. It has become very common knowledge around

839
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: fans in the NFL that coaches in the NFL are

840
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 2: good coaches in the NFL because they tailor their offense,

841
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: their defense around their guys, what they can do well,

842
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: how their guys feel about what they're doing. They don't

843
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: give a quarterback this play because he doesn't like it,

844
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 2: and that's that's no more complicated than that he doesn't

845
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 2: like it. So they handle human beings and that's what

846
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: you saw a lot of in this game, and you

847
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 2: saw it from the Kansas City Chiefs as well. They

848
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: do the exact same thing. And you know, you that's

849
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 2: the way the game is played. That's the way the

850
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 2: game is coach, and that's the game we watch and love.

851
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: So you're right, it didn't turn out the way any

852
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 2: of the Bills fans wanted it to, but it is.

853
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 2: There's high level decisions being made all the time and

854
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 2: they have to do with the guys they're coaching. These

855
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 2: coaches make these decisions because of the guys they're coaching,

856
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 2: and because of the and because of the coaches on

857
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 2: the staff. McDermott is talking to his coordinators because he's

858
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: coaching them too, so they're all trying to pull the

859
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 2: same direction. Believe me, that's that's the way it works.

860
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: And I and I there's a lot of what are fans,

861
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 2: we as fans and commentators see that is probably spot on,

862
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 2: but there's a lot of it that we're like, we're guessing.

863
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 2: And that's what you know, even Brownie and I are

864
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 2: doing that about this, and Butcher and I know you

865
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 2: and Judy and all of us are out here doing that.

866
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 2: But we see the results of it, and we see

867
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 2: it pretty closely, and I think some of it, we

868
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: say is pretty close to be inaccurate.

869
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: And they're moving the ball on that drive, I mean,

870
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: you know they convert that third and one, yeah, to

871
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: first and ten, Anderson on the field hand off to

872
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: Cook five yards, it's second and five. Here we go, Yeah,

873
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 1: Josh fumbles the shotgun snap and now it's third and nine.

874
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 2: There you go.

875
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: And then you have to settle for a field goal.

876
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: So it's just that that's the thing, and that has

877
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: nothing and that's why I agree that it has nothing

878
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: to do with Joe Brady. No, and that's why I

879
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: agree with Steve one hundred percent. In those instances, it's

880
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 1: usually execution and that's really kind of what it was in.

881
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 2: That's what you It's always on the players.

882
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: Got to take a break here, more of your phone calls.

Speaker 1: Got to get back to the phones at eight oh

896
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 1: three zero five point fifty one eight eight five fifty

897
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: two five point fifty, which Bill's player exceeded your expectations

898
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four taking calls on other stuff as

899
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: well concerning the Bills. But we lead off as promise

900
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:50,720
Speaker 1: with Mike in Buffalo.

901
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 2: What's up? Mike?

902
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Mike, you're on What's up?

903
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 10: Yeah? I don't know about the player that that would

904
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 10: be good now, But I haven't heard anybody talking about

905
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 10: the fact that we didn't have home field advantage. If

906
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 10: we would have, we would have won that game. It's

907
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 10: that simple, that's right.

908
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we had home field advantage last year in

909
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: the divisional playoff that didn't work.

910
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say this, though, you're right. This year, I

911
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 2: think it would have been different. This is a different

912
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 2: team at home this year and unbeaten, unbeaten for.

913
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: What it's where the Chiefs were unbeaten at home also

914
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: this year, the only two teams that did that.

915
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 2: There, you have it. It might have made the difference

916
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: is as close as it was, as close a game

917
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 2: as it could possibly be. And I think part of

918
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 2: the problem with that fourth and five that they missed

919
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 2: on the last of the Kincaid play that ended up

920
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: being I think that play would have gone differently had

921
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 2: it been in Buffalo because they would have been able

922
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: to communicate a little better and all of that stuff

923
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 2: goes in. Yeah, so of course you're right. But when

924
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 2: you've got a team like the Chiefs who block a

925
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 2: fueld goal to win, you know, they didn't. They didn't

926
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: lose any games in the regular season except when it

927
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 2: didn't matter at the end.

928
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: They didn't.

929
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 2: Nobody play well.

930
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: They're twenty they're now twenty two and one in mahomes

931
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 1: last twenty three starts right play. So that's your loss

932
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: is Buffalo.

933
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 2: You're right. The problem is you don't get them wherever

934
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 2: you want. You got to earn it. And the Bills,

935
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 2: you know, even with a weak division, the Bills couldn't

936
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: run him down for the one seed they were. They're

937
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 2: the only team that had a shot at it. Yeah,

938
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 2: in the last month and a half of the season,

939
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: and they couldn't be right, they couldn't do it. So

940
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 2: that's you're right. It's that is a lofty goal and

941
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 2: it's probably one that'll be on the menu for the

942
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 2: Bills next year.

943
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: It's a lofty goal when you have the Chiefs in

944
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: your conference. Bottom line that's really what it is, and

945
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are in that division. Let's go to Jim

946
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: in Hamburg next. What's up, Jim?

947
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, Hey, I got a few things here, so

948
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 11: I'll try to make it quick. One for Steve sees

949
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 11: how you're an analyst. I watched the green Bay Philadelphia game.

950
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 11: On the opening kickoff, they phone bold number of guy.

951
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 11: Green Bay guy had it. The skycam actually showed he

952
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 11: had it for a long time before I guess I

953
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 11: got ripped away. You mentioned the skycam. Do they use

954
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 11: it when they look at reviews?

955
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: Yes or no.

956
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 11: My other thing is I actually think Josh exceeded any

957
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 11: expectation I had due to the command of the offense

958
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 11: he had. He seemed like he was in control, you know,

959
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 11: all bit maybe the first series of the KC game,

960
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 11: but that would definitely be my player of the year.

961
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 11: I mean just the low interception total or turnover total,

962
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 11: just the way he just took control.

963
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, that's I've said that too. I think

964
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: the offense looked much different this year because of the

965
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 2: way Josh handled it pre snap, the decisions he made, the.

966
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: Sacrifices he made. Yeah, his passing yard was down because

967
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: they were going to run the ball, and he said, fine,

968
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 1: as long as we went.

969
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 2: I would agree with it. I think Josh was a

970
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 2: different kind of player this year because he decided to

971
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 2: be because that's what worked for the Bills to win.

972
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 2: I think you got to tip your hat to him.

973
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 2: It's it was a selfless way to run the offense,

974
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 2: and he was all in about it and for the

975
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 2: green But yes, they can. I think they can use

976
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 2: the skycam. The sky judge can use the skycam to

977
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 2: review plays. And I didn't. I gotta be honest, I

978
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 2: didn't see the play you're talking about, the Green Bay fumble.

979
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 2: I saw it like quickly on one angle. But if

980
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 2: they deem guy's got it, and he's guys laying on him,

981
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 2: or guys are touching him, which is in a pile

982
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: they always are. Yeah, you could. The sky judge should

983
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 2: have been able to see that. If the guy had it,

984
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: he should have been down by contact and they should

985
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 2: have gotten the ball back. And you're right, and Green

986
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: Bay has every right to be unhappy with that.

987
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mark in West Seneca. What's up Mark?

988
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 12: Hey, guys, A couple of things. People calling in always

989
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 12: sparked more conversation than what I actually actually called for.

990
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 12: But first of all, your question Judy in Butch picked

991
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 12: my guys. They are as far as Hollins, and I

992
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 12: thought James Cook was absolutely on. If he wasn't an elite,

993
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 12: he was right there. As far as running backs in

994
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 12: the league this year, the guy was absolutely amazing. But

995
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 12: I guess my third choice for mention that should be

996
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 12: mentioned would be Connor mc govern. I mean for him

997
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 12: to step into that line, a solid offensive line and

998
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 12: take control of it at the center position, never having

999
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 12: played center on a regular basis in the NFL, and

1000
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 12: take control and keep the ship steady. I think deserves

1001
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 12: a mention.

1002
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: And he was a first alternate Pro Bowl or two

1003
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: and he's going now.

1004
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, he absolutely deserves to mention and a

1005
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 12: huge pat on the back. But what I actually called

1006
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 12: for was. One thing that gets me going all the

1007
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 12: time is when you guys start talking about refereeing, and

1008
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 12: Steve the other day you mentioned that you know, the

1009
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 12: majority of the games in the league are really, really close,

1010
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 12: and that's exactly the why the owners in the league

1011
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 12: wants it. And that's fine, okay, But when you say

1012
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 12: that in my mind. What I think then, is that

1013
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,959
Speaker 12: the referees are now tasked. Their job is to make

1014
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 12: sure they do their best job at the most critical

1015
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 12: times of every game, especially in the playoffs. That's when

1016
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 12: they have to show that they are good at their

1017
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 12: job and they're going to get the calls right. Everybody

1018
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 12: misses calls. I'm not asking for perfection. I'm asking for

1019
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 12: you guys to be on point in most critical times,

1020
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 12: especially at playoff games. And this is a bottom line business. Okay,

1021
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 12: what is the team done for me lately? Who wins?

1022
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 12: Who loses? Like you always say, there's thirty one unhappy

1023
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 12: teams right now? Well, guess what. Bottom line what the

1024
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 12: NFL has been doing with their referees for decades, decades

1025
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 12: has shown us that it's not working. It's not working.

1026
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 12: You can tell me about all the evaluations that they

1027
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 12: do on these guys all you want, and all the

1028
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 12: other things that they're they're doing, but whatever it is

1029
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 12: they're doing, from the point of where they're getting their

1030
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 12: guys from, to how they're training them, to how they're

1031
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 12: conducting themselves in games, it's not working. Every year we're

1032
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 12: at this point, every single.

1033
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 2: Mark, Mark just let me stop you right there. I

1034
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 2: completely disagree with you. There. You're asking for something that

1035
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 2: is that is never going to happen ever under any circumstances. Training, evaluation, selection, playoffs,

1036
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,319
Speaker 2: full time, part time, full time, part time. You're you're

1037
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 2: never ever, ever going to get it to where you

1038
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 2: think where it is right because you've got two entities

1039
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 2: looking at the same thing wanting different results. Fan base one,

1040
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: fan base two, team one, team two, they all want

1041
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 2: a different result, own one. And however, how wherever you

1042
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,399
Speaker 2: want to slice, it's never going to get away from

1043
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 2: the fact that you're going to have questionable calls, tiki

1044
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 2: tac calls, egregious misses, all of that stuff. Now they've

1045
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 2: done an outstand in my opinion. They've waited for technology

1046
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 2: to catch up with what they wanted it to do,

1047
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 2: and once it is there, then they have implemented it.

1048
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 2: And I'll say this again, I've said this about the

1049
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 2: NFL for a long time. The NFL is the eight

1050
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 2: hundred pound gorilla in sports leagues in the United States

1051
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 2: for one reason and one reason only. They get every

1052
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 2: issue that faces them. Right now. You can complain that

1053
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: it takes them too long, but they get every instance,

1054
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 2: and every big issue that faces them, they get it

1055
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 2: exactly right. And they're going to get this right as

1056
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 2: right as they can. And this is a constant, this

1057
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 2: is something's been going on. Remember, they would even allow

1058
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 2: replay review for decades and decades and decades and decades

1059
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 2: because they couldn't get over it. They couldn't get it

1060
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 2: the technology right. Now they've got that right, and it's

1061
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 2: expanding very slowly into getting every call exactly right. But

1062
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 2: they also realize there's a slippery slope at the other

1063
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 2: end of this where every play is under review every time.

1064
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 2: And there are other sports leagues, most notably the Canadian

1065
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 2: Football League who allow who allow coaches to review anything

1066
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 2: anytime they want, and that has its drawbacks that we

1067
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 2: can get into. That's a rabbit hole as well. That

1068
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 2: causes as many problems as and debate as solutions. So, yes,

1069
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,879
Speaker 2: it's not perfect, but it's not the NFL not trying

1070
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 2: to get it perfect. It's not that they haven't attacked it.

1071
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 2: So I don't think they deserve any criticism for not

1072
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: getting it something that can't be gotten right right.

1073
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: Well, because at the bottom line, you're dealing with human

1074
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: beings who are not perfect, and you're asking for perfection

1075
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: with people that can't be perfect because nobody.

1076
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 2: All you can ask for is that everything is at

1077
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 2: least consistent, and that's where I think that's where the

1078
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 2: debate comes. That's the issue. That's the issue that we

1079
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 2: can all debate. Auursel I don't know why the guy

1080
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: called that when he didn't call this. That's an issue

1081
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 2: that they can work on. But that's where the human

1082
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 2: that's it will never be, that's the human being part

1083
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 2: of it.

1084

Speaker 1: people waiting. Which player on the bills exceeded your expectations

1093
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: this season in twenty twenty four. We're also taking other

1094
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: comments and stuff as well. But we go to Nick

Speaker 1: in New York next, what's up? Nick?

1096
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 4: Hey?

1097
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 5: Garat Brownie mitter Caasker First and foremost, thank you guys.

1098
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 5: I'm just a wonderful season. Now, I typically don't get

1099
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 5: to listen to you live because of the way of

1100
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 5: the works did those, but I listened every single day

1101
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 5: to the podcast, and it's just wonderful having you there

1102
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 5: as the voice of our Buffalo Bills. Appreciate taveing me

1103
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 5: to who exceeded expectations. I mean, where else this starts,

1104
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 5: but the whole damn team, all right. I think back

1105
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 5: to the podcast, the stuff we were reading in the

1106
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 5: off season about being a reset year, a reboot, a

1107
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 5: soft rebuild, whatever you want to call it. And I

1108
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,919
Speaker 5: think Vegas had the line at ten and a half

1109
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:19,720
Speaker 5: wins for us, and most of the commentators I listened

1110
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 5: to had to do right ten or eleven minutes right

1111
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 5: when he looked at the schedule and realistically, you know,

1112
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 5: sort of sut a line through that last New England game.

1113
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 5: We won fourteen regular season games in two playoff games,

1114
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 5: so sixteen wins. I'd say that there's a lot of

1115
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 5: credit to be spread around the entire organization, you know.

1116
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 5: In response also to one of the earlier callers, I

1117
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 5: think it was a book who brought up the wide

1118
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 5: Games book putn't on the field like a lot of

1119
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 5: people are wondering why in the final series. I was

1120
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 5: listening to Joe Marino this morning, who was doing is

1121
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 5: All twenty two breakdown, And I'm not sure exactly what

1122
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 5: play it was, but at some point during that drive,

1123
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 5: James was in the game and he kind of missed

1124
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 5: his pickup assignment on a blitz. And that's the knock

1125
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 5: on James. Wonderful if he is as much as we

1126
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 5: like him, cap why he's not at third down back?

1127
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 5: You know how I picks up the blitz. James isn't

1128
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 5: so good at it, at least not yet. So you know,

1129
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 5: nothing too out of the ordinarian. Overall, this team exceeded expectations,

1130
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 5: and uh, I understand the disappointment from everybody, Like losing stinks.

1131
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 5: Nobody wants to lose. But you know, to all the

1132
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 5: Opil family, you guys, Maddie, Butch on the East Side,

1133
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 5: you know, Footy in Buffalo, markdown in Jersey City, all

1134
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 5: the regular colleagues. Uh put that over in Hamburg who

1135
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 5: calls every day? I look you guys, Kevin, Yes, Kevin

1136
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 5: and Hamburg hat guys. We went through what seventeen eighteen

1137
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 5: years not.

1138
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 11: Sniffed in the playoffs.

1139
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, how great is this. We're the second best team

1140
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 5: in football. The only team that's better than we are

1141
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 5: is after this Super Bowl, maybe the greatest team of

1142
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 5: all time, and we're toe to toe with them.

1143
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 7: Time and time again.

1144
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 5: My goodness, this is amazing.

1145
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1146
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 5: I can't help but be happy about this team. I

1147
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 5: was fortunate enough to have a daughter born two years ago,

1148
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 5: and I spent all season watching her grow up. And

1149
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 5: every Sunday, Every every Sunday, we avoid map time. She

1150
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 5: puts on the bill gear, she sings, hey hey, she

1151
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 5: points out Josh, which he sees them on TV. It's

1152
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 5: the beautiful things. So I love this team. The whole

1153
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 5: team exceeded expectations. If I had to pick out a

1154
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:54,959
Speaker 5: couple more players. How about that Spencer Brown contract that's

1155
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 5: looking better and better. James, you know, not only with

1156
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 5: the nuck on him coming into the season that he's

1157
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 5: not great with the blipz pickup, but his contact balance

1158
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 5: was stecifically poor coming into the year, and he was

1159
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,439
Speaker 5: a bad boy. I mean angry run after angry run.

1160
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: All right, Nick, we gotta we got to actually move along.

1161
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: We got a lot of people holding so thanks for

1162
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 1: the sentiments. We appreciate it, but we got we gotta

1163
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: move along. We go to Ryan in Toronto next. What's up?

1164
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 8: Ran thank er Steve Nick's bang on of our improvements

1165
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 8: on the Earth the overall team. To be honest, I think, honestly,

1166
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 8: Josh Allen had a really good season. I think one

1167
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 8: of the best easy ear I had. I think secondly,

1168
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 8: I want to talk about this free stuff. To be honest,

1169
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 8: no one's going to fix it.

1170
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 7: You.

1171
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 8: You either with them or you. You're our victim. And

1172
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 8: that's a point of us calling in and bitching and

1173
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 8: complaining about the investing issue at all. To be honest,

1174
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 8: forget it, give up, give up on that conversation. Thirdly,

1175
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 8: what is wrong with our coaching style? Why can we

1176
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 8: not beat can't see the chief? What is it we

1177
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 8: had to do? There's four times right now we lost

1178
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 8: him the playoff? What have you have? You not learned

1179
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 8: anything from this?

1180
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 6: Like?

1181
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 8: What are we doing to go over that hump? That's

1182
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 8: that's my real quature, To be honest, What is McDermott

1183
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 8: doing in the offseason? Hey, this is four times whenever

1184
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 8: we lost this team. What do we need to do

1185
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 8: differently to go to the next level? That's why I'm

1186
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 8: asking Chris.

1187
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 2: I'll say this Ryan off the top. It's a great question,

1188
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 2: and it's one that you know, we're all like checking

1189
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 2: for rain, like how's come we can't do And I'll

1190
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 2: say this, this coaching staff this year did some things

1191
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 2: that maybe coaches in the past, the same coaching staff

1192
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 2: or you know, variation of this coaching staff in the past, didn't.

1193
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 2: This game came down to and a couple of them

1194
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 2: have come down to you go back to thirteen seconds.

1195
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 2: I mean, that's you got to play defense in those

1196
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 2: thirteen seconds, right, You can't just back off. That's a

1197
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 2: coaching error to me in these other games, like this

1198
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 2: one in particular, it is exactly I thought exactly what

1199
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 2: you needed to do. You've got to ask your players

1200
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 2: to make plays. Now, the coaching staff gave them play

1201
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 2: and they didn't execute it, but they gave them plays

1202
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 2: that were there to work even.

1203
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: If Josh could have had.

1204
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 2: You know, the pass protection is going the wrong way

1205
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 2: on the fourth and five, all of that, but you

1206
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 2: put this in the the hands of your players. And

1207
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 2: an old adage in the NFL and it still holds

1208
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 2: true when you get into those big moments don't think plays,

1209
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 2: think players, and you go to the go to the quarterback,

1210
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 2: push push. They put this game in the hands of

1211
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 2: the best player on the planet, said go win it

1212
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 2: for us, and all those other guys are gonna help him,

1213
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 2: and they couldn't get it done. And I though that

1214
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 2: aspect of this is something I think that goes under

1215
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 2: the radar because it was unsuccessful, but it's something they

1216
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 2: had not always done in big moments. Now, Josh certainly

1217
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 2: took over the game and a lot of times and

1218
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 2: did all that, but this is a game where in

1219
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 2: the biggest moments, you need to have guys to help

1220
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 2: that guy. And you know, like the Philadelphia Eagles, they

1221
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 2: finally got somebody in there. Now it's Jalen Hurts helping

1222
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 2: saquon the ound, it's not the other way around. They

1223
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 2: got somebody that can help their quarterback. I'm not saying

1224
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 2: that James Cook didn't, but I think in moments like

1225
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 2: that that Tush push play, the one that was only

1226
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 2: successful five out of seven instead of seven out of

1227
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 2: seven or six out of seven, and the one that

1228
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 2: they didn't get that they maybe should have. That is

1229
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 2: a coaching staff being smart enough to put the game

1230
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 2: in the hands of their best players. Now you can

1231
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 2: make an argument that it's Josh and everybody eats. There

1232
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 2: isn't an out There isn't a big dog out there,

1233
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:50,919
Speaker 2: there isn't a Saquon Bark. Then you can play James Cook,

1234
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 2: but we already been over why James Cook might not

1235
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 2: have been on that field. You need in moments like that,

1236
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 2: if Josh can't get it done, which he almost did,

1237
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:05,439
Speaker 2: if if kN Kate could pull in a tough play right,

1238
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 2: or if they communicate up front they got the if

1239
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 2: they got the protection straightened out, they almost did it.

1240
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 2: They're they're you know, like I said, they're Harr's breath away.

1241
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 2: But this coaching staff did a great job of putting

1242
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 2: a game like this in the hands of their best player.

1243
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: And I can guarantee you what coach McDermott to answer

1244
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: your question directly, Ryan, what coach McDermott and the staff

1245
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: are doing this offseason after reviewing that game and others,

1246
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: is they're going to say, Okay, we put the ball

1247
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: in the hands of our best players to help us

1248
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: win this game, and it didn't happen. What can we

1249
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 1: do to facilitate more consistent execution. That's the job they

1250
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: put on themselves, and I think that's what they will

1251
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: be working on, and they do it every offseason when

1252
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: they come up short. What can we do as coaches

1253
01:03:54,760 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 1: to facilitate more consistent execution? Do we have to be simpler?

1254
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: Do we have to find out a different way of

1255
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: executing a specific play that facilitates more sure fire wins

1256
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: than losses on the play? I mean they go down

1257
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: to microscopic, granular levels to help ensure more consistent play.

1258
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: And I would argue that this is one of the

1259
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: most consistent football teams in the league because of the

1260
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: efforts that that coaching staff makes, and they're going to

1261
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: redouble them this offseason so that they don't get it

1262
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: four out of seven times in short yardage, but seven

1263
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: out of seven next year, or maybe it's something completely

1264
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:43,959
Speaker 1: different that facilitates even better execution and success rate. That's

1265
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: what they're divvying up and dicing up and pouring over

1266
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: for the next four months, because that's what coaches do.

1267
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: Let's go to Jay in Toronto and next what's up? Jay?

1268
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 5: Hey, guys?

1269
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 14: How you're doing such an honor to be talking to

1270
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 14: you guys, because are such great football. I feel blessed

1271
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 14: in Toronto to have access to you guys in Buffalo,

1272
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:09,439
Speaker 14: just to give us such a great insight into this team.

1273
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 14: The guy that kind of exceeded expectations, not really exceeded

1274
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 14: the expectations, but improved so much as the year went on,

1275
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 14: was back Auling, So I thought the beginning of the

1276
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 14: year he was kind of lost out there, and maybe

1277
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 14: he was a case of Josh just not having the

1278
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 14: chemistry with him or just not hitting with him.

1279
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 5: But he grew into.

1280
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 14: Such an impressive weapon as the year went on, and

1281
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 14: I mean you could say he was a number one

1282
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 14: receiver by the time him and Shakir, but it was

1283
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 14: neck and neck as far as producing scoring goes. I

1284
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 14: just he became such a beast on the field. And again,

1285
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 14: thanks so much guys for doing what you do.

1286
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, appreciate that. Jay, thanks for the sentiments and for listening.

1287
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: With respect to Hollins, I think what benefited him, maybe

1288
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: more than anything else, Steve, was the fact that other

1289
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 1: guys in the receiving corps were dinged up and missed time.

1290
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 1: Hollins didn't miss a start. He played the whole season

1291
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: with Josh, and that that I mean even Shakier missed

1292
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: a game, so that counts for something. I mean, Curtis

1293
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,439
Speaker 1: Samuel was dealing with a myriad of injury shoulder, toe

1294
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup, can't practice, and then

1295
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: Shakier misses a game. Coleman missed three games, Kincaid missed

1296
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: three games, Cooper didn't show up till mid season. Hollins

1297
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: was the one constant, along with Dawson Knox, from start

1298
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: to finish the whole season. And this what you saw

1299
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, I think is a testament to that.

1300
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: It makes a difference.

1301
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 2: Cook was in that in Matt mix too. Cook was available,

1302
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 2: didn't miss the start, didn't miss the start. So yeah,

1303
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 2: that's there's something in that. And mc hollins, nobody talks

1304
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 2: too much about it. He's a big dude. He's a

1305
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 2: six to four guy. He's a key on Coleman type

1306
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 2: body as you can see it. And that's hard to defend.

1307
01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 2: And and I'll say that, I'll say it again. We

1308
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 2: all know, you know Jordan Phillips has been a guy

1309
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 2: who is here. We got him from Miami, Miami released him.

1310
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 2: He wasn't happy there was he was at odds with

1311
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 2: the coaching staff, all of it, and he had this

1312
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 2: conversation with us. He goes, they just didn't like me

1313
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 2: in Miami, right, He didn't like my personality, didn't like

1314
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 2: what I did on the field, and they told me

1315
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 2: to cool it. And he came here and flourished because

1316
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 2: it's a different culture. For whatever reasons, they let him

1317
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 2: be himself and he did it, and he came here

1318
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 2: and crushed it, got a huge contract with Arizona I

1319
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 2: think it was Arizona, Yeah, and stayed there one year

1320
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 2: and was.

1321
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: Like, I am out years.

1322
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 2: He was done with Arizona, that it was a bad fit,

1323
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 2: bad culture, just like it was in Miami. He said,

1324
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm and he came back here and now has said

1325
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 2: this offseason, I mean, if I don't play, I'm not

1326
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 2: gonna play. But if I play, it's only gonna be

1327
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 2: for Buffalo. That's what it means to him now mac Holland.

1328
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 2: And I say that because mac Holland seems to be

1329
01:07:57,720 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 2: that kind of guy. And I don't know how Mac

1330
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 2: feels about where he's been. He's been with other clubs,

1331
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 2: but nobody else got out of him the production that

1332
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 2: the Bills got out of him. And he and I

1333
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 2: didn't know Mac Collins was a bare this guy. And

1334
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 2: now the bills you do you, you do you because

1335
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 2: we know that's how you're gonna be happy and you're

1336
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 2: gonna play better when you're happy. Go and man, oh man,

1337
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 2: did Mac Hollins prove it? So you know, whether they

1338
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 2: sign him back or not, it's out there around that

1339
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 2: This club is is a destination because of the cultures.

1340
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 2: They you're gonna be your best here, whatever that looks like.

1341
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 2: And and that's you know, that's big. So Mac and

1342
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 2: Mac Collins is an absolute poster boy for that this year.

1343
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to Tom on the West Side next. What's

1344
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:49,560
Speaker 1: up Tom?

1345
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 15: Good? Afternoon? Gentlemen. Uh, I agree with all the easy

1346
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,560
Speaker 15: picks much and Judy and everybody else callin in, but

1347
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 15: we love y'all, We love all thet there. Keep on

1348
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 15: calling anyway. I agree when you say the team, I

1349
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 15: include the coaching staff and the front office, Brandon Bean, everybody.

1350
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 15: But I thought Spencer Brown, now that one won a

1351
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 15: little deep. And I didn't think about Spencer Brown, but

1352
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 15: I thought about Mark Andrews because he got out on

1353
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 15: the field a whole lot more of them. We thought

1354
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 15: we'd see him and he made a difference out there

1355
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 15: in that run game. That's what made James Cook. James

1356
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 15: Cook go for.

1357
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 2: A guy who's talk Andrews.

1358
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: Are you talking the Andrews the extra Alec Anderson.

1359
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:42,600
Speaker 2: Alec Anderson, Yeah, Alec Anderson.

1360
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:43,679
Speaker 15: Yeah, Alec Anderson.

1361
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yeah, no problem. Yeah, I mean, look, he

1362
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 1: had a defined role this year, took it over from

1363
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: David Edwards, brought an edge to the play on the

1364
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: field because that guy was rare to go every time

1365
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 1: he set between the lines and not afraid to mix

1366
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: it up a little bit either. So yeah, he finally

1367
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 1: stepped into a role. We had our eye on him

1368
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: from the jump. Steve as an undrafted rookie at camp

1369
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: and you know, in two or three years, look what

1370
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: he's turned himself into.

1371
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 2: I mean he was a tackle at U C O

1372
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 2: A and the guard center here, so we'll see and

1373
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:19,759
Speaker 2: we come, we come in, we watch him the first

1374
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 2: and it always comes there. I saw like four reps

1375
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 2: of one on one pass pro and I.

1376
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,759
Speaker 1: Was like, Oh, that guy's got to like his feet,

1377
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:29,839
Speaker 1: that guy's got a shot.

1378
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 2: And that is the extent of my analytics for Alec.

1379
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: So I need sometimes.

1380
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 2: But also and it's also as we all know, he

1381
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 2: is prickly on the field. You gotta have a couple

1382
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 2: of those guys.

1383
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: You need some guys like that on your team for sure. Uh,

1384
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: let's go to Kenny out in Saint Louis. What's up, Kenny, Kenny?

1385
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: Are you there? We lost Kenny? Maybe next time? Kenny

1386
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: to Manny in Buffalo, what's up, Manny?

1387
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 3: Hey, I just wanted to call say we had a

1388
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 3: great season, and I take all the responsibility for the loss.

1389
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 3: I apologize to the MOP, to you guys, and for

1390
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 3: the Bills. I didn't have my complete outspid on the win,

1391
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 3: but I hadn't watched for it since we started winning.

1392
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 1: What were you missing? What were you missing?

1393
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 2: Manny?

1394
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: I think we didn't know. I was wondering what you

1395
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 1: were missing from your game day outfit? All right, I

1396
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: gotta let him go. He's listening to the radio now.

1397
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:35,680
Speaker 1: Didn't wear his game day outfit that he must have

1398
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: worn every other game.

1399
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 2: I gotta response, I was we all fall down in

1400
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 2: that category right where you think? You know what? I

1401
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,879
Speaker 2: because you all I wish we could help.

1402
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 1: Right, I have, yeah, and you'd have no control over

1403
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: the game. So you feel by wearing the same thing

1404
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: the last time they won, or by not doing this

1405
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: or that or doing this that you did last week,

1406
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: you're exerting some kind of control. That way, I have

1407
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 1: a completely different viewpoint on this I do. I do

1408
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 1: not do anything differently or the same or whatever. I

1409
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: just go about in my day because the way I

1410
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 1: look at it, what I do isn't going to have

1411
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 1: one iota of impact on what goes on on the game.

1412
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 2: I I kind of released myself from that too. In fact,

1413
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 2: I did that as a as a player as well.

1414
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 2: Oh that's harder to do, I said, I because I

1415
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 2: did have an effect on it, right, I mean I

1416
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 2: was out there playing, I said, listen, I had a routine.

1417
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 2: But my my justification for my routine was that I

1418
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 2: like it that way. I do it for a reason

1419
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:46,640
Speaker 2: because it helps me get prepared. Da da da da

1420
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 2: da da da. It wasn't some voodoo kind of black

1421
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 2: magic thing or any other thing you know, or even

1422
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 2: you know, some sort of ritual you know, right, It

1423
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 2: was none of that. It was only because that's you know,

1424
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 2: I was getting ready to play, and I had to

1425
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 2: get ready to do my thing, and my thing needed

1426
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 2: me to do this and this and this before the game.

1427
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 2: So I would do things even out of order and

1428
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,719
Speaker 2: all that stuff too, just because I knew I didn't

1429
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 2: want an extra burden of having to jump through some

1430
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 2: mystic hoops, because if you missed one out of it

1431
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 2: because it was out of your control, then you're done,

1432
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 2: you know. So for me, I never let myself think

1433
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:29,560
Speaker 2: it had anything to do other than what happened to

1434
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 2: me when I got on the field. So if I

1435
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,679
Speaker 2: had a routine, it was because I needed to get ready,

1436
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 2: and that's what I had to do some things to

1437
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 2: get ready. I fought against that outside yeah force that

1438
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 2: you know, just not didn't fight against it. I just said,

1439
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 2: listen it. If there is something out there like that,

1440
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with which sock I put

1441
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 2: on first, you know so, and there were a lot

1442
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 2: of other guys people. It's just the.

1443
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: Opposite of that. It's a coping mechanism. I think for

1444
01:13:58,280 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 1: we got to step aside and take a break here.

1445
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll lead with Bill out in

1446
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 1: Old Forge and others holding at eight oh three oh

1447
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: five fifty. Bill's player exceeded your expectations this season. You

1448
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: let us know. Next, on One Bill's Live, presented by

1449
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 1: Collide Health, It's s Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right back

1450
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: here On One Bill's Live, Chris Brown Steve Tasker with

1451
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,520
Speaker 1: you and asking you which Bill's player exceeded your expectations

1452
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 1: this season and as promised to Bill in Old Forge. Next,

1453
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: what's up Bill?

1454
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 7: Hey guys, A couple of things I want to dress.

1455
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:37,680
Speaker 7: First of all, the call where Allen was the one

1456
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 7: rough came out and reversed the call from the other rough.

1457
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,839
Speaker 7: The guy that reversed the call on the field Alan's

1458
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 7: back was tam Yeah, the other guy had view of

1459
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 7: the ball. I still, to this day right now, don't

1460
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,640
Speaker 7: understand how the guy with his back looking at his

1461
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 7: back can overturn the guy that's looking at the ball.

1462
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,640
Speaker 7: He gave the extra lunch first down, everybody knew it.

1463
01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 7: All of a sudden, the guy who's looking at Alan's

1464
01:14:58,160 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 7: back come out and says, no, how did the guy

1465
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 7: that could see the ball? Why is he not able

1466
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 7: to overrule the other guy by saying, look, I'm viewing

1467
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 7: the ball. I saw it though the guy who's viewing

1468
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 7: his back. I don't understand how that could happen. I'd

1469
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 7: understand how he couldn't overrule the other guy just by

1470
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 7: what they're looking at on in the field their eyes

1471
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 7: doesn't make any sense to me. The other thing I

1472
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 7: wanted to address is this, I think Sean mcdermot's a

1473
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 7: great coach, and you know, a lot of people like

1474
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,599
Speaker 7: garridim I'm totally against that. I never would say about

1475
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,679
Speaker 7: mcdermot't think he's great. His win loss record speaks for itself.

1476
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,799
Speaker 7: What he did against the Ravens, steaming up that defense

1477
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 7: once again to win a game that a lot of

1478
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 7: people didn't give me the shot. My thing is this,

1479
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 7: we watched the game, and I think mcdermot's great. You

1480
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 7: can only coach the guys you have on the field,

1481
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 7: and my opinion is this, it's probably not gonna be

1482
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 7: popular with a lot of people like McDermott's a really

1483
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,760
Speaker 7: good coach. During that game alone, we traded out of

1484
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 7: the first round. We got Coleman, they got Worthy, and

1485
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 7: a lot of fans were saying, you know what, we

1486
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 7: won't know till the book was written. It's going to

1487
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 7: be three four years down the road. But a year

1488
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 7: into it, okay, guy that we got in the second round.

1489
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 7: Coleman was even out there on Sunday and Worthy took

1490
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:08,600
Speaker 7: over that game. So once again it looks like it

1491
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 7: looks like the Chiefs got the guy. And my other

1492
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 7: point is this, that's one one analogy of the draft

1493
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,599
Speaker 7: where Bean was involved with the draft. The other one

1494
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:19,800
Speaker 7: is Tyer Elam, a former first round pick that we

1495
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 7: had to put out a corner because bember got hurt. Again.

1496
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 7: Mcdermot's got to use him. That's another guy it's on

1497
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 7: the field. He didn't even look like he should be

1498
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 7: out there. That's another reason why I believe we lost

1499
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,839
Speaker 7: the game. It was he was horrible. He was horrible,

1500
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 7: and McDermott gets the blame. But it's like you can

1501
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 7: only cook with the ingredients that the GM has given you.

1502
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 7: And kin Kid, another first round pick from Bean is

1503
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 7: a guy that dropped the ball during the game. Those

1504
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 7: things just to me, I would love to see Pogola

1505
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 7: pull the plug on Bean, let McDermott coach and get

1506
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 7: a new GM in here. That's my opinion. You're not

1507
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 7: to agree with it, but that's my personal opinion. I

1508
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,600
Speaker 7: think Bean is part of the problem. He's made some

1509
01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 7: good moves, but He's got a horrible, horrible, horrible first

1510
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,759
Speaker 7: two rounds since he's been here, A lot of good players,

1511
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 7: no great players, and thevon Miller contract. My god, I like,

1512
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 7: that's my opinion. You're up to Google like that said,

1513
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 7: all right, but yeah, no.

1514
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: I get what you're coming from. We got a lot

1515
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 1: of callers we got to get to. Look, we'll disagree

1516
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: the thing for me. Look, I understand what you're saying

1517
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: about mcdermomy can only utilize the players he has at

1518
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: his disposal to Benford injury hurt, There's no doubt about that.

1519
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,839
Speaker 1: It is more difficult to hit on elite first rounders

1520
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 1: when you're drafting at the bottom of round one, which

1521
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:37,760
Speaker 1: Bean has been doing for the better part of the

1522
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: last four years. And then the other thing I'll say

1523
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: concerning Coleman in comparison to Worthy is this, Keon Coleman

1524
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 1: came to the Bills and was essentially the third, fourth

1525
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 1: or even fifth receiver in the depth chart, and he

1526
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: got hurt in miss three games, and at no point

1527
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: during his rookie season was he asked to be a

1528
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:01,679
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver. The chief opportunity the Chiefs had

1529
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 1: to make Xavier Worthy their number one receiver after they

1530
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 1: lost Rashi Rice for the season to a knee injury,

1531
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: which happened in like week six. On top of that,

1532
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster missed time and is not a number

1533
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 1: one receiver, so Worthy had to be thrust into a

1534
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: role that was a little shaky for a while. In

1535
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 1: the middle stretches of the season. They were not scoring points,

1536
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 1: he was not making plays for them. But by the

1537
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:26,959
Speaker 1: time they got to the back half of the schedule

1538
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 1: getting all those reps with nobody else to throw. Think

1539
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 1: about the Houston playoff game to give you a sense

1540
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 1: of what they needed in the receiving corps. He completed

1541
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: passes to Travis Kelcey and Xavier Worthy. That was it

1542
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 1: in the divisional playoff win over the Texans. They don't

1543
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 1: They still felt they needed a lot of help, to

1544
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: the point where they trade for DeAndre Hopkins and Hopkins

1545
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 1: barely factors into the offense because he just got there.

1546
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 1: Much like Cooper did here in Buffalo, Worthy had to

1547
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 1: be a number one wide receiver from the jump. Because

1548
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 1: of the injuries Hollywood Brown out for the year, and

1549
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: then you lose Rashi Rice in Week six. He had

1550
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 1: to be thrust into that role. If Coleman gets thrust

1551
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: into the number one role, how does that turn out?

1552
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,719
Speaker 1: We don't know, but I think because of the role

1553
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:16,640
Speaker 1: that he had to be put in enabled him to

1554
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: fast track his way to becoming a productive player for

1555
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 1: the Chiefs.

1556
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah, that's I agree with everything Brownie just said.

1557
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 2: A lot of player's success it means opportunity. I don't

1558
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 2: think Xavier Worthy would have had the season or even

1559
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 2: the second half of the season in Buffalo that he

1560
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 2: had in Kansas City. I don't know what Keon Coleman

1561
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:41,040
Speaker 2: would have done had they switched places. I know this,

1562
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 2: I don't, and you can. This is where you might

1563
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 2: have a beef. The Bills didn't like Worthy as much

1564
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 2: as they like Coleman, and you say that about what

1565
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 2: you want. They were willing to make the trade, and

1566
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,080
Speaker 2: it remains to be seen as which one will be

1567
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,799
Speaker 2: more successful. But you're right, I mean Brownie's right. Worthy

1568
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,600
Speaker 2: exploded in let's face it, he's one of the one

1569
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,760
Speaker 2: of the best offensive minds and the best quarterback maybe ever.

1570
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 2: Is gonna elevate a kid, whether he's good or not.

1571
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 2: Keon was against it here because there was you know,

1572
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 2: nine thousand guys catching passes and he got hurt and

1573
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:23,879
Speaker 2: he wasn't asked. He had other guys ahead of him,

1574
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 2: and so he had to wait his turn. He still

1575
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 2: has to wait his turn. So yeah, it's a little

1576
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 2: it's hard to compare those, but certainly you're you have to.

1577
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 2: The comparison is easy when you play head to head

1578
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:38,959
Speaker 2: and one guy does well and the other guy doesn't,

1579
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 2: or the other guy doesn't get the opportunity or whatever

1580
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 2: you however you want to slice say that. So yeah,

1581
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 2: it's hard to not you know, have Brandon Bean lose

1582
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 2: that comparison a game, and the way this season, you can't.

1583
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:53,639
Speaker 1: You can't kill him on the von Miller trade either.

1584
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think he makes the trade if

1585
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: he knows von Miller's gonna tear his ACL after nine games? No,

1586
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: he's not. But he felt the team was close. All

1587
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: they needed was a premier pass rusher. He had an

1588
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 1: opportunity to get one of the best of his generation,

1589
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 1: and he did and the guy was productive, helped him

1590
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: win a game in Kansas City. As a matter of fact,

1591
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 1: that led to the Taron Johnson interception at the end

1592
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: of the game. He's all over Patrick Mahomes' back. He

1593
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: throws the ball, it's a pick by Taron Johnson. The

1594
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:23,719
Speaker 1: Bills win the game. He would have made a bigger

1595
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: impact had the injury never occurred. I fully believe that.

1596
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 1: But you can't knock him for it not working. He's

1597
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 1: making moves to try to do what's best for the

1598
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 1: football team, and he always had.

1599
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 2: I'll say this too, you didn't Bill, Thanks for the call,

1600
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 2: Bill and Old Forge. We appreciate it. And maybe you

1601
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,719
Speaker 2: didn't feel this way, but it was almost it felt

1602
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 2: to us here like it was unanimous when they signed him.

1603
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 2: It was like, well, let's go. I mean, it was

1604
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 2: a good move. You can't you never tell the future

1605
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 2: and never know that it's going to work out the

1606
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:57,519
Speaker 2: way it works out. But man, oh man, everybody seemed

1607
01:21:57,560 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 2: to be on board with that. When he made the decision.

1608
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 2: We were all everybody liked it. So, yeah, I mean,

1609
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 2: you could easy.

1610
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: They don't all work out, and I think any GM

1611
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:06,960
Speaker 1: in the league would tell you that.

1612
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there's no question Brenton picking twenty eighth, thirtieth, thirtieth. Yeah,

1613
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 2: it's hard to get it. It's hard to get an

1614
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 2: elite talent.

1615
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 1: Be even harder this year's draft according to the quality

1616
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: of the class. Let's go to Peter in Massachusetts. What's up, Peter, Hey, guys.

1617
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 16: Yeah, so Steve was just talking about the prickly this

1618
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:33,680
Speaker 16: of Alexanderson. Yeah, you know, I like that too. You know,

1619
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 16: Matt Collins and in of sense of Brown both had

1620
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 16: that prickly this as well.

1621
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1622
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 16: But so one of my favorite players of all time

1623
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 16: is Carwell Gardner. So I was one of Steve has

1624
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 16: some good Carwell's Gardner's stories, Bill I've ever seen.

1625
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 2: I love Carwell. Yeah, he's uh.

1626
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 1: Seewell was great, prickly.

1627
01:22:57,600 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 2: Yes, he's the guy that got thrown out with Brian

1628
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 2: Cox in that. You gotta love Carwell a great special

1629
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 2: teams player. With me, he's big fullback, good athlete and

1630
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 2: one of the all time great dudes and just a

1631
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:17,639
Speaker 2: lovable dude. I got nothing but fond feelings for Carwell Gardner.

1632
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 2: That's kind of the moment I remember about his career.

1633
01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 2: Glenn Parker, former offensive tackle who was a tremendous player,

1634
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 2: got under got under Cox's skin and said some stuff

1635
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 2: to him in a pile or whatever, and Cox lost

1636
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 2: his mind. But Glenn's are starting right tackle, so he

1637
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 2: can't get thrown out. Car Well is a full back

1638
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:47,439
Speaker 2: in a K gun offense, he can go. And car

1639
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 2: Well did not hesitate to jump in and start exchanging

1640
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 2: Haymakers with one of the best defensive players on the

1641
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:58,360
Speaker 2: Dolphins and car Well. So they both get thrown out

1642
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,720
Speaker 2: and you know, Carwell takes one for the team and

1643
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 2: we keep our right tackle, Glenn Parker on the on

1644
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 2: the field and car Well is more than happy to

1645
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 2: get a couple of licks in on on Cox. One

1646
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 2: of the all time great brawls and when of the

1647
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:16,599
Speaker 2: in the game it was it was almost as good

1648
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:19,559
Speaker 2: as the who was it? The over in the corner

1649
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 2: where this let where he came over and they got

1650
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 2: thrown out. The Jacksonville guys, No, who was it?

1651
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 1: Oh are you talking about Leonard Fournette?

1652
01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 2: Leonard Fournette and Shack It was like shi, yeah, it was.

1653
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 2: It was better than that because the Bills fans hated

1654
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 2: Brian Cox and uh yeah, but so Seawell was was

1655
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,720
Speaker 2: the dude who was you know, like I always say,

1656
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 2: you need a guy who if they're not in the fight,

1657
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 2: they they are trying to get there. If they want

1658
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 2: to get to the middle of it. Carwell's kind of

1659
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 2: like that, and man, oh man, it was exactly. He

1660
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 2: played his role to perfection. He's great special teams player.

1661
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 2: We missed him on the field, but he took out

1662
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 2: one of their best defensive players by getting him to

1663
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 2: start throwing haymakers with the help of Glenn Parker. Great story.

1664
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,719
Speaker 2: Carwell was a was an all time great, great fullback,

1665
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 2: great teammate, great person to have in your on your team.

1666
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 2: He's great.

1667
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 1: Let's go to Kyle in Orchard Park.

1668
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 17: What's up Kyle, you guys thinks for taking my call.

1669
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 17: What I wanted to ask you guys, was you know,

1670
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 17: with the Bills running into the Chiefs every year in

1671
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 17: the playoffs and you know, coming out on the wrong

1672
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 17: side of that. You know what I'm starting to worry

1673
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 17: about is will Josh Allen someday want to maybe leave

1674
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 17: to go to the NFC and take an easier road

1675
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 17: to the Super Bowl. You know, I can't help but

1676
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 17: think that he might have been a couple of Super

1677
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 17: Bowls already if he's down the other, you know, the

1678
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 17: other side there, and especially with the money, the teams

1679
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 17: can throw it a guy and as good of a

1680
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 17: player as he is and not having that accomplishing yet.

1681
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:57,280
Speaker 17: You know, I worry about it, and I just want

1682
01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 17: to see you guys think.

1683
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 2: I yeah, I think if I mean, I'm not saying never, never,

1684
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 2: but I think it'll happen if Josh is in his

1685
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 2: fourteenth year, fifteenth or sixteenth year, when he's at the

1686
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 2: end of it. I don't think that's even crossed his

1687
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 2: mind at this point. Plus, there's no way the Bills

1688
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,640
Speaker 2: are gonna let his contract get anywhere near to the

1689
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:20,640
Speaker 2: end of it. He'll keep getting extended and extended and

1690
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 2: extended until he decides he doesn't want to be extended.

1691
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 2: And I don't think that's gonna happen. This is simple

1692
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 2: for me, Steve.

1693
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:34,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh Allen is not wired that way. Josh Allen

1694
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 1: does not walk away from a challenge exactly. Josh Allen

1695
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: now has the burning passion of a thousand suns to

1696
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs because he hasn't yet. I mean, that

1697
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 1: is all that man is going to think about the

1698
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:48,679
Speaker 1: entire offseason, how to beat that team when it counts

1699
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:51,679
Speaker 1: the most. So to think that he's gonna scurry away

1700
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:53,640
Speaker 1: to the NFC, so he doesn't have to face that

1701
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 1: team until the Super Bowl. I think you don't know,

1702
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:56,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen.

1703
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 2: I'll say this too. You know this as a player,

1704
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 2: you know this, and I said this at the beginning

1705
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 2: of the show. Everything changes every year, and he knows that.

1706
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:12,600
Speaker 2: Sooner or later the Chiefs will stumble. It's going to

1707
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 2: change for them, too much for them to overcome, even

1708
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 2: Pat Mahomes, Andy Reid. And maybe it's one of them

1709
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 2: who changes. I don't know. But players are wired, and

1710
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 2: Josh in particular, they're wired to keep punching and keep

1711
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 2: coming back and overcome whatever challenge is set before them.

1712
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 2: So you don't get tired of that. And I think

1713
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:37,560
Speaker 2: that's kind of what you see in Josh and this

1714
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 2: whole culture over here in Buffalo, and I get it.

1715
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:43,040
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, nobody knows more than me about what

1716
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 2: it is to lose big games. And the fact that

1717
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 2: it's the same team only makes it more likely that

1718
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 2: not only you are putting a target on the Kansas

1719
01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 2: City Chiefs, but so is Baltimore. So is the Charge,

1720
01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:04,560
Speaker 2: so the Broncos, so the Raiders, so are the Pittsburgh Steelers,

1721
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 2: you know, you name it, They're the target. And that's

1722
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:10,800
Speaker 2: a hard way to live for a long long time.

1723
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 2: I certainly the Chiefs had put together an unprecedented run,

1724
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 2: but it's unprecedented for a reason. And I'll tell you

1725
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 2: this right now, they're closer to the end of it

1726
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 2: than they are the beginning.

1727
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 1: Got to take a break here, close it up on

1728
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:24,599
Speaker 1: the final segment next on One Bill's Live. Stay with Us,

1729
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 1: all right, one last segment here on One Bill's Live.

1730
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick in an interview Steve, when asked about the

1731
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:50,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, got into a couple of topics and basically

1732
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:55,600
Speaker 1: said they should maybe consider renaming the Lombardi Trophy the

1733
01:28:55,760 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 1: Brady Trophy. I think I just gagged again now that

1734
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 1: I repeated it after reading it initially. If you want

1735
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:09,360
Speaker 1: to alienate people and want them to hate that trophy,

1736
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 1: name it the Brady Trophy, because I promise you.

1737
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:14,680
Speaker 2: That would certainly curtail the desire to win it.

1738
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 1: And look, I get it, he's won seven and nobody

1739
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 1: else has. But they renamed the Larry O'Brien Trophy the

1740
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan Trophy. Okay, they don't call it the New

1741
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 1: York Yankees Trophy for the World Series because they won

1742
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 1: twenty seven of them. I mean, what do you come on?

1743
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:35,719
Speaker 1: Leave it alone?

1744
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:39,240
Speaker 2: Bill, I'm with you. Yeah, it's nice that it should

1745
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 2: be like they didn't change the Heisman Trophy to the

1746
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 2: Bo Jackson Trophy or something. You know.

1747
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:45,639
Speaker 1: So that's it for us today. Thanks for all the calls.

1748
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:47,439
Speaker 1: People will catch up with you tomorrow when we have

1749
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: Bean and McDermott with their season wrap up. We'll see

1750
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: it won

1751
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:01,040
Speaker 6: And
