00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Puffdown Buffalo at a Steve Caster who has been all

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: over the field. How unique he was. Kind of a

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: dual role player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: even in the straded bear of normalcy. The snap Josh

5
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: pitch left side, Singletary funds Joe touchdown Buffalo. Devin Singletary

6
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: not even touched on his way into the end zone.

7
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: Stamp here comes pressure, Josh gets rid of it, Man

8
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: wide open, Gabriel Davis makes the catch at the water

9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: and the heads into the end zone. Touchdown Buffalo, Gabriel Davis.

10
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: What a great throw by Josh Allen. Stamp deep drop set,

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: something to throw going all the way, fire intown field

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: and it is caught at the twenty five yard line,

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: and then he goes. Gabriel Davis touchdown, Buffalo, Holy mackerel

00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis, touchdown, Buffalo. A laser from Josh Allen. A

17
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: touchdown from Buffalo and they take the lead with a

18
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: minute fifty four to go. Shotgun snap Looks Looks steps

19
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: up halftime, fires to the end zone, caught touchdown. Touchsdown Buffalo,

20
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,639
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis again, are you kidding me? Unbelievable. The Bills

21
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: get the lead back again. He can tie it up.

22
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Stamp is down, Bucker's kick is on the way. It

23
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: is up, and it is good and we're ahead of

24
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: the overtime. Stamp looks to throw pumps once fires towards

25
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: the end zone and it is caught. Touchdown, Kansas City.

26
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: It is caught by Kelsey and the game is over.

27
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: One a game. The Chiefs herbal out out of the field.

28
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: The Bills slowly make their way to their locker room.

29
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: The Buffalo season is over. Oh my goodness, talk about Hartford.

30
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: That is the Toshiba game. Rewind Toshiba the official copy

31
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: or company of the Buffalo Bills, and welcome in everybody.

32
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: It is a stormy Monday, a blue Monday, whatever adjective

33
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: you want to use to stick in front of Monday.

34
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: It's all going to pretty much suck today for the

35
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: next twenty four hours. That was a heartbreaker in every

36
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: sense of the word, as entertaining and as much as

37
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: that game will go down in the history of this

38
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: league as maybe the best dual quarterback performance this league

39
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: has seen in a hundred and two years. It will

40
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: sting and hurt and live in infamy in the minds

41
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: of Bills fans. And I'm sure Steve, your text string

42
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: has been flooded with fans and friends commenting on this game.

43
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: I've I've got if I haven't even gotten to yet

44
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: on my phone. There's been so many. It is just

45
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: pure heart, gut wrenching feelings and emotions today and we're

46
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: here for all of it. So you know, get on,

47
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: get on the line. At eight oh three, oh five fifty,

48
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: we can talk about it. What you know left you disappointed,

49
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: what leaves you hopeful for the future, whatever it is.

50
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: It's another year where a Super Bowl trophy is not

51
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: coming to Buffalo, and I think that's what stings the most. Yeah,

52
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm like you. I mean, I got to bed probably

53
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: around four am. I was just up. I could not sleep,

54
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: try to go to bed earlier, just couldn't. I was

55
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: up and around, just putzing around, and I had time

56
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: to go through my phone, and I'm like you, my

57
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: phone was absolutely jumping off the table throughout the entire game.

58
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Everybody I ever knew was texting me, and you know,

59
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: the five presidents, my college buddies, my family, that everybody

60
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: was chiming and wanting to, you know, talk about the game,

61
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: and I plowed through all of those after the game

62
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: last night and then but I'm I think I'm in

63
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: probably a little bit different spot than most Bills fans

64
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: are this morning. I'm a little bit more upbeat. I mean,

65
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: I know probably as well as well, probably more than

66
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: most people what you sign up for when you when

67
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna pick a team like the Buffalo Bills and

68
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: be a fan any NFL team. Only one team's gonna

69
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: end up something with something different than the Bills fans

70
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: ended up with yesterday, and it's the team that wins

71
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl that game yesterday. And I've been texting

72
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: this to our crew here from Reuben Frank. There's only

73
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: been two postseason performances in NFL history where a quarterback

74
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: through for at least three hundred and twenty five yards

75
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: three tds or more and had zero interceptions plus rush

76
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: for sixty yards. There's only been two instances in the

77
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: history of the NFL where that happened. Both were last night.

78
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes and and Alan, I mean and I get it too.

79
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: The overtime thing where gosh, the Bills didn't get a

80
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: chance at that. Exact thing happened to the Kansas City

81
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs back in twenty seventeen and Mahomes first year as

82
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: a starter when Tom rating the Patriots on that when

83
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: the guy lined up off sides, Patriots get them to

84
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: overtime and then go down the field and score without

85
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: Mahomes ever getting a chance at it. Same thing happened

86
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs in that instance. That's the way it is,

87
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: and I've said this before, that's the way it is

88
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: with an overtime game of the nature we had last night.

89
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't it happens. I guess once in a while,

90
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: but you don't get overtime games where it's six to

91
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: six or seven to seven. You get overtime games from

92
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: just thirty six thirty six and let's go. You know

93
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna score. You never want those games to end. Man,

94
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: that that game last night was like I said it

95
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: before at the end of Bills tonight last night with

96
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: Maddie that game and josh Ad in the it was

97
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: like heroin, just give it to me. In my veins,

98
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: you could not get enough of that game last night,

99
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: both those guys that that game was over like four times.

100
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. The Tyree Hilled touchdown, the sixty four

101
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: yard touchdown, It's like, oh man, now what well? Then

102
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: the Bills come back, bang bang bang, a seventeen play

103
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: touch a bang, they get it back, the Chiefs with

104
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: a minute and whatever back they get it. Then the

105
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: bus It's unbelievable. Thirty thirty one points were scored in

106
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: the last five twenty two and some of it and

107
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: most of it was in overtime. I mean, you get

108
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: it is that was awesome and the Bills were part

109
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: of it. And I think the thing going for me, man,

110
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm all about it. But I and I was, yeah,

111
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: I was like everybody. I was sick to my stomach

112
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: after that game and just a heartbreaker. The thirteen second thing. Gosh,

113
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: I get it, and I get and I get what

114
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: they were thinking too. And the kickoff we can go.

115
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: We can go do through this, you know, one thing

116
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: at a time if you want to. But oh, I'm

117
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: sure we will right so, and I mean right away,

118
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: the squib kickoff. I don't want to squib kickoff right there?

119
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: The one kick I would have done was probably put

120
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: it as high as I could with bass and force

121
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: them to field it in the field of play and

122
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: make them return it. So instead of having them get

123
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: the ball at the twenty five, maybe I would have

124
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: made the guy return. But by the same token and

125
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: the guy back there number you're risking to give them.

126
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: You're risking a big play by kicking it back there

127
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: or a throwback or something like that. But I get it.

128
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: You gotta trust your special team's coverage unit to you

129
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: gotta trust your special team's coverage unit to tackle the guy. Um,

130
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: I think it's yeah, go ahead. No, I think it's

131
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: more predictable. Say all right, we'll give them the ball

132
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: on the twenty five, but at least they're not going

133
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: to give up a big play on a return or

134
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: a you know, or a home run throwback or a

135
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: Music City miracle or something like that. Um, I get that,

136
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: and I could have seen it. You don't want to

137
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: squib it there because then one of those guys runs

138
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: up fields that at the twenty, at the thirty or

139
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: the thirty five, or god forbid, the forty gives himself

140
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: up and now you got twelve seconds left and they're

141
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: fifteen yards further than they would and they only have

142
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: to get twenty yards instead of forty. So the squib

143
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't think is an option there. So I get that. Now,

144
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: the thirteen second thing they just got, I mean, they

145
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: just gave up a huge touchdown to Tyreek Hill on

146
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: a little crossing route. They want to keep everything in

147
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: front of them with thirteen seconds left, even with three timeouts.

148
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, fine, So you know, of course

149
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are one of the only two only teams

150
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: in the league, the other one probably be in Buffalo

151
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: who can pull that off? And they did right. I

152
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: would argue for this squib kick. I don't have to

153
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: tell you this, but your former special teams coach in

154
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine in Tennessee, at sixteen seconds on the

155
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: clock chose to squib. Now, obviously we all know it

156
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: didn't work. It wasn't it was a mortar. It was

157
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: a high They didn't it didn't bounce. It was a

158
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: pop up to the outside numbers. They thought it was

159
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: like a line drive. Now, they kicked it to a

160
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: They kicked it to a fat guy who handed it

161
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: off to Frank Wycheck, who ran across Renzo, right, So

162
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: it was a pooch kick. So that didn't work, right, So,

163
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: and that was sixteen seconds. But I get it with

164
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: only with only Pringle back there, you know, as long

165
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: as you get it behind that second line with the upbacks. Yeah,

166
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: well they drop it in there somewhere, make him field it.

167
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, here's and this is why I argue for that, Steve.

168
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: You've got a top three kickoff coverage unit in the NFL.

169
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: You have a completely gassed defense. The defense was both

170
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: defenses were gassed. They couldn't stop anything. Both defenses are

171
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: gassed in the game. And you have a top three

172
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: kickoff coverage unit in the league this year. You've got

173
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: to kick it that way and trust your coverage team. Now,

174
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: are you taking a risk? You are, But you have

175
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: to assess is it a bigger risk to put my

176
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: exhausted defense back out on the field with thirteen seconds left? Well,

177
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to get it however you want. I

178
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: get it. But yeah, and I know this too, And

179
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: Marv used to say, and Marv Leev used to say

180
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: it constantly. Yeah, I get it. You make these decisions

181
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: the end of the game. If it doesn't work. You

182
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: should have done the other thing obviously, Yeah, but I

183
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: think I get it. Forty yards thirteen seconds and three timeouts.

184
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: It's a long time for an offense, like like the

185
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: three time outs here pressure is Yeah, Now here's the

186
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: thing in the final thirteen seconds they did get out

187
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: executed in the final thirteen seconds. From this standpoint, first play,

188
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: you're you're putting keeping everything in front of you. Totally

189
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: get it. I would have done the same thing, no problem.

190
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: So Tyreek gets a couple of blockers in front of

191
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: him on a trips formation and he's able to get

192
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: what do you get? Nineteen yards? I think on that

193
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: first play. The second play, though, is the play that

194
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: I have a problem with, Steve. They're playing the defense

195
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: to the sideline. They're expecting a sideline play, and I

196
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: don't know why that's necessarily the case there because the

197
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: Chiefs still had a time out at their disposal. Patrick

198
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes recognizes the defense is playing them to the sideline.

199
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: He calls Kelsey and tighter to the formation. He tightens

200
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: up his split before the snap, and he runs him

201
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,239
Speaker 1: up the scene because the defense is playing to the sideline,

202
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: and he gets twenty five yards up the scene. I

203
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: don't know why you're not playing them straight up there.

204
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: And if they take it out of bounds, good, He

205
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: ran out of bounds. I know the clock stops and

206
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: you're trying to keep the clock running, but they still

207
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: have a time out anyway, So I'm thinking I'm playing

208
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: him straight up there, am I Is that wrong or

209
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't know? Well, yeah, I mean obviously, I mean

210
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: it was too soft. I mean the guy, the guy

211
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: like Kelsey. All he did is catch the skinny post

212
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: and go down. It might have been smarter to let

213
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: the guy run and not tackle him. Of course, he

214
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: gave himself up, which was smart, but he almost let

215
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: him run and then tackle him down deep. And he

216
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: would have with three seconds, let him go three more

217
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: seconds and then tackle him, you know, let time run out.

218
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: But he did the right thing. He went down, got

219
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: right up and called the quick time out. So yeah,

220
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: they just they executed extremely well. And you knew they

221
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: were a soul of the bills. And I know this too,

222
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not you know, I'm like I said, I'm

223
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: not about changing the overtime rules. You know, you wish

224
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: one thing it would have changed, was I wish Josh

225
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: would have called heads instead of tails. You know. I

226
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: mean that's ironically he called heads at the beginning of

227
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: the game when he always calls tales. Lost the toss

228
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the game, then switched it and

229
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: went back to his you ual tails call comes up heads.

230
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: So maybe there was something in in the uh. I

231
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: don't know the odds of the world, I say, I

232
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: gotta say this, though, brownie, I am, I am not.

233
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I wish we had more football to watch

234
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: with the Bills, no question. I mean, like I said,

235
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean like this, this team this year, in this offense,

236
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: the way it's playing right now, it's I mean, I'm

237
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: a junkie, you know, I need another fix. I wish

238
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: I could see Josh play again that The last two

239
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: games this is played have been absolutely off the charts

240
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: beyond Bills fans wildest imaginations of watching the guy play.

241
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: He's played better than anybody could have imagined he could

242
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: have or would have, even his best supporters. I wish

243
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: we had more of that to go around. But yeah,

244
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: he ain't going anywhere, and this is gonna be It's

245
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting offseason. Got a lot of serious

246
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: free agents for the Bills. But man, oh man, I'm

247
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: telling you um, and this too. Certainly you can and

248
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: I've heard this too obviously about you know, the defense

249
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: and the way Leslie was calling it and the things

250
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: that happened. And they say, well, you know, the coaches

251
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: kind of you know, the coaches didn't give us the

252
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: best chance to win. They should have done. I'll say

253
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: this first drive the game, Sean McDermott put it out

254
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: there and say, listen, here's what happened last year. We're

255
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: not doing that this year. Two fourth down conversions in

256
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: the first drive. We're going full marks. Um. That's a

257
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: that's a step in that. That's a step where last

258
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: year I don't know if he had done that. This

259
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: year he did and it wasn't. They didn't even like

260
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: think about it. It was a done deal and they

261
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: end up converting both of them and often away they go. Um.

262
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: I thought, that's something that I've noticed about Sean McDermott

263
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: that you know, other other teams. I don't notice it.

264
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't watch other teams as closely, but Sean McDermott

265
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: has completely revamped or I don't know, he's just improved

266
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: his game day management, game day decision making, year by

267
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: year by year by year. And he had a ways

268
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: to go when he first got the job because it's

269
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: hard to do. Nobody does it as a co ordinator.

270
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: You know you got you gotta work your way into it.

271
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: He's done an outstanding job of doing better and better.

272
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: And this is one more instance where they're gonna look

273
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: back at this and go, how should we have done it?

274
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: And how could we have been more prepared for that?

275
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm i say it again, I don't know how you,

276
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: in your wildest imagination get your team out there, because

277
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: you do it all the time. They do this all

278
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: the time. Say okay, here we go, sixty seconds left

279
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: in the game, they got one time out, they're on

280
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: their own fifteen coming out all they needs a field

281
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: goal to win it or tie or whatever. Let's go.

282
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: Here's a go. And they start and they got the

283
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: clock running, they got clock management, they got officials, they

284
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: got everything out there. They run through scenarios like that.

285
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: How do you get to a place where you think

286
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna be all right? Field goal ties it? They

287
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: got three timeouts, there's thirteen seconds left. I'll tell you this, Hey,

288
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: nobody going through that scenario at the end of their

289
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: practice or at the beginning of their practice, not even training.

290
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: Can't the Chiefs look like they did because they were

291
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: ready for that moment. Every guy on that offense was

292
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: ready for that moment, and they executed. And well, I mean,

293
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: you could you could say the Bills defense was tired.

294
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: You can if you want to criticize Leslie Fraser, knock

295
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: yourself out. The bottom line is this, the Chiefs were

296
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: ready for that moment in the game at that time,

297
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: and they executed to a t to at in a

298
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: situation where their biggest enemy wasn't the Bills, it was

299
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: the clock. But they had two timeouts at their disposal,

300
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: and they made magnificent use of all of it. And

301
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: here's the they executed. Here's my point. There's nothing that

302
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: says the Bills and listen to this. They were giving

303
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: them that stuff. That's the Bills, not They might have

304
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: executed that defense exactly right, and they still because they

305
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: were they were laying back so far. The situation was

306
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: such that so desperate they thought, well, guys, you know,

307
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: we don't care if they catch it short. You know

308
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: what I mean. If you wanted to go differently, give

309
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: the Bills a different defense to execute. But like I said, too,

310
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: this is a defense and a coaching staff that was

311
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: sitting there going to listen, we just gave up a

312
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: sixty four yard touchdown in like three plays and we

313
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: had no end. We can't catch that guy, so we

314
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: gotta keep everything in front of us, which means you

315
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: gotta let them catch it short. And Mahomes and and

316
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill and all these they just they just did

317
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: a great job and they did execute. But that doesn't

318
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: mean the Bills the defense they were running wasn't one

319
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: that was like, listen and we'll give it what they're

320
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: they're doing, but that's too much. Thirteen seconds just just

321
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: too little time to get it done. Yeah, and then

322
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: she proved it wasn't. Yeah, And obviously we want to

323
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: involve you in your comments today at eight oh three

324
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: five fifty one, eight eight five fifty two, five fifty

325
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: the number to get on board, and you know, give

326
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: us your pluses, your minuses, your takeaways, your emotions today

327
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: after last night's game. The thing where I was left

328
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: with this is strictly with the fans, and coach even

329
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: addressed it after the game. He felt sick to death

330
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: for the fans. And that's where I am. You know,

331
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: I've lived in this city for more than half my life.

332
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: My wife's a native Buffalonian, my kids were born here.

333
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo deserves better than the faith they got handed last night,

334
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: because it's happened all too often. The football gods rarely

335
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: smile on the Bills. And this is the thing that

336
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: I was reminded of, Steve and I don't have to

337
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: tell you this, but right after Super Bowl twenty five

338
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: was played, what was the general consensus that was the

339
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: best Super Bowl ever played? Oh yeah, and the Bills

340
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: came out on the short end of it. Last night

341
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: was already being touted as the greatest dual quarterback performance

342
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: ever played in one hundred two years of NFL football,

343
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: And again, the Bills are on the wrong side of

344
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: the history. Another game that I was reminded of watching

345
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: that back and forth was Dan Fouts Dan Marino? Was

346
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: it Dan Marino? The Kellen Winslow game where he's literally

347
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: getting carried off the field? I think it was money.

348
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: It's the game from my childhood that best represents what

349
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: we witnessed last night. Was that Marino in Fouts? Or

350
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: was it think so, but I'm I can't be sure.

351
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: I think it was. I think it was that Marino

352
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: year of eighty four when he took him to the

353
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Um, yeah, I mean it was there. They

354
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: were their phenomenal moments. Um, this is gonna be one

355
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: of those games that's gonna go down with just a

356
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: single name, like the Music City Miracle wide right, the

357
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: comeback fifty one to three, the thirteen second game in

358
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City is gonna be one of those, you know,

359
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: one of those handful of games that are that are

360
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: etched in the hearts of Bills fans. And I'll say this,

361
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. You gotta fit. Just like Chiefs

362
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: fans feel about their team, the Bills have got to

363
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: feel like listen with our guy with Josh Allen, this

364
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: office playing the way it is, and we're gonna be

365
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: there again. We're gonna get back there and we're gonna

366
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: take our swing and we're gonna if we get into

367
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback duel like this again, we'll take our guy. Um. Yeah,

368
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: it's it stinks to start an offseason this, you know,

369
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks early, but I'm telling you, Um,

370
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know that this is a team,

371
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: this is a fan base that, yeah, it did deserve better.

372
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: He thought it might be better. I'll say this, I

373
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: told myself this said and I don't want to admit

374
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: to it, but I was like, it's almost the way

375
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: this whole thing worked out. Man, it's almost too much

376
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: to hope for to have had the AFC Championship Game

377
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park next week. I go, how could we

378
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: have ever envisioned something so to perfection about that? I

379
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,479
Speaker 1: couldn't even have dreamt of it. And uh, and it

380
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: was almost as about to happen. That was I thought. Wow,

381
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: That's why. It's one of those things where I'm just

382
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, what a great team we've got. What

383
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: a great the coaching staff I love. And I know

384
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: people are down on it. They're they're mad about the

385
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: way the game played out at the end. They can

386
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: be mad at him, but let me tell you something.

387
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: This team has got it going on on all cylinders.

388
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose anybody. I don't want to

389
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: coaches to go anywhere, I want anything like that. Let's

390
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: just keep on keeping on. And I want to I

391
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: want to get in and bring in some new and

392
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: fresh faces. We're gonna lose some guys, see what the

393
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: rents through is like. But I love where this team's at.

394
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna overreact to one loss. And as bad

395
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: as it was, as tough as it is to see

396
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: our team in the season like this, playing so well

397
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: offensively and being a really good defense, it's hard to

398
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: say goodbye to a season like this. And I think

399
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: that's the hard part of it. But it doesn't change

400
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: the fact that the kind of team that you have. Yeah,

401
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: and I think you can also throw in and Mitch

402
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: Moore said it, and he said the same thing after

403
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: the playoff loss. The biggest shame is it's not going

404
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: to be the same group of guys next year, going

405
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: to battle to try to get the ultimate prize again.

406
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: And you know, with as tight knit as this group

407
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: is year over the year, that's a tough that's a

408
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: tough thing to stomach. Number one. Number two, it's looking

409
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: more and more like the coaching staff is gonna undergo

410
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: some change too. Brian Dable getting his second interview with

411
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: the New York Giants today and their new GM, Joe Shane,

412
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: the former assistant GM of the Bills, so it looks

413
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: like he's one of the final two candidates for the job,

414
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: along with Dan Quinn, who was getting a second interview today,

415
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys and a former

416
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: head coach in this league. So we're gonna have to

417
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: see where that goes. We'll have to see if Leslie

418
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: Frazier's name pops up anywhere else as well. Yeah, but

419
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: let's get to the phones. We've talked enough. We want

420
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on this game. Eight oh three

421
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five

422
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: fifty your emotional state today, lay it on us. We

423
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: lead off today with JP in on TERRYO. What do

424
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: you have for his JP, You're on one Bill's lives. Hey, guys,

425
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. First of all, I think

426
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: it's easy to say that I'm disappointed. I think a

427
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: lot of people are. But I'm gonna be blunt here.

428
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be black and white. This is, to me,

429
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: is a coaching error at the end of the game,

430
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: and I'm putting it on Leslie Brazier and partly on McDermott,

431
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: just because I'm sure he could have overruled the call.

432
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: But that being said, let's let's look at the Rams game, right, like,

433
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: look at all the things that happened in that game

434
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: or Tampa Bay to come back, right, And I'm looking

435
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: at two elements of a game here, player execution to

436
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: win or lose. Coaching decisions that come into play win

437
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: or lose. Will keep the rest out of it. The

438
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: rest are actually great. They let them play. What triggered

439
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: the Rams come back or sorry that Tampa come back

440
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: in that game? Was that coaching decision errors or was

441
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: that player execution? That's a good question, because I'm not

442
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: I didn't I don't remember not watching it that closely.

443
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: Go ahead, and they were turnovers, so I would says,

444
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: get the ball back. They decide to blitz, you know,

445
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: cup gets open that were still got to throw the ball,

446
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: he catches. They end up winning. Now let's go to

447
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: the Bills game. I knew in that game we needed

448
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: I called. I was never really that worried as the

449
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: game was going, just because I said, we're gonna need

450
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: at least twenty eight points to win. And the games goes,

451
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, going on, it's twenty nine, twenty six, you know,

452
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: and then it's like, well, I'm telling my buddies, we

453
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: may need a little bit more, you know. But that's

454
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: where the game was headed. And then you fast forward

455
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: to thirteen seconds left, we get to touchdown. You're looking

456
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: at the score and Collinsworth is saying that the game

457
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: is over, and that was down on his party. Should

458
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: not have said that because the game was not over. Weirdly,

459
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't Collinsworth, was it? Was it colins wrest Or

460
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: was it somebody else? Okay, um, my mistake. But anyways,

461
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: they're saying the game is over, and that was a

462
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: horrible part on his dead But anyway, here's where I

463
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: get upset. You have three phases that happened, three strikes

464
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and I was listening to you at

465
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: the beginning, coster Or with a kickoff between you know, okay,

466
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: do we squit ticket? Did we kick it high and

467
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: catch it inbounds? I agree with that standpoint. I think

468
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: if I were to order the three, I would go

469
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: kick it inbound and trust your guys. Don't be afraid,

470
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: trust them that they're gonna kick it. The guy's gonna

471
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: inbound it, and you're gonna make the cop or maybe

472
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: the guy runs it a bit. Whatever whatever happens happens.

473
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: Do that first second, squit kick, third kick, kick it

474
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: out a bound. Do you do when you watch a

475
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: game and you feel like a mistake was made, Like

476
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: your stomach turns, And when they kicked it out a bound,

477
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: I was like, mistake number one. Well they wait, they didn't.

478
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: They didn't kick it out. They kick it out of

479
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. If they kick it

480
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: out of bounds. If they kick it out of bounds,

481
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: the ball the Chiefs get it at the forty and

482
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: then you know the game is over. So yeah, I know,

483
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. They kick it. I meant they

484
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: chose to kick it out of the field. They start

485
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: at the thirty five, right twenty five, Sorry guys, But

486
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: anyway from there, it's like, okay, if you go on

487
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: the fanatics web page on Facebook, you see two screenshots

488
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: for how the defense is set up, and I understand, Okay,

489
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: situational football prevent defense. Well that's what I would do.

490
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: Come on, guys, look at the pictures. You got nine

491
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: defensive guys, four rushers, three guys are back, two guys

492
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: are even further back. Two guys aren't even in the screen. Shot,

493
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: and so you want to talk about Kansas City executing. Yeah,

494
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: they executed, But how easy was that? What are you

495
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: telling your guys at that point? Kay, guys, you play

496
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: it well, you just got. I will argue this j

497
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: you just got the last time you play, you played,

498
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: you played them tight. Tyreek Hill goes sixty four yards

499
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. You can't tell me that's not freshing

500
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator's memory. So that's step number one and

501
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: number two. Hold on, hold on, JP, I let you

502
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: talk for a while. Let me just respond. So you

503
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: mentioned the Tampa Rams game, okay, and you're arguing it

504
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: was player execution. Well, Todd Bowles calls an all out

505
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: blitz on that Cooper Cup play that led to the

506
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: game winning field goal, and that's a play call that's

507
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: probably getting a ton of criticism today as well. So

508
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: you could argue coaching there too. It's a combination. I mean,

509
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: that's the grand in the grand scheme of things. It's

510
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: a combination. You could argue maybe one played a larger

511
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: role than the other and look, did they deserve a

512
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: better outcome? They did? You can you know at that

513
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: time in the game, with thirteen seconds yes, they have

514
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: two timeouts. Maybe they can get three plays out of

515
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: that if they used their timeouts properly. They did. They

516
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: got two plays and the third play was a kick.

517
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't like what they did on the second play

518
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: because they were playing sideline defense at least as it

519
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: appeared to me. And then Patrick Mahomes adjusted to that

520
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: and executed for his team by moving Kelsey in tighter

521
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: on a split so we can get up the seam

522
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: and get more yardage. And they still had a time

523
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: out at their disposal. Okay, I'll be quick, guys, and

524
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: I'll let you go because I know other guys are calling.

525
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: The only differences in the Rams game is I didn't

526
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: disagree with the blitz because there's so many turnovers. So anyways,

527
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: they made a play and that ended it, and that

528
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: can be argued the Bills. Yea, and the Bills. And

529
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: the Bills tried to blitz too. They had they had

530
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: an all they had a blitz play of touchdowns. Yeah no,

531
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying. At the end of the game, they

532
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: had a blitz called on the in the red zone

533
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: and Micah Hyde gets beat by Byron Pringle one on

534
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: one for a touchdown. You blitz mahomes, he kills you,

535
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: So that really wasn't an option in the game. I

536
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: appreciate the College, JP. I think we gave you more

537
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: than enough time there to state your case. Let's move along.

538
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: We go to Anthony and Ken Moore. Anthony, what do

539
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on One Bill's Live. How's

540
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: it going guys? Real quick? I think no Trey White hurt.

541
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: And also the fact that you can work all off

542
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: season not be able to touch the balls in the

543
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: playoffs with the season on the line is pretty sad.

544
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: But I just want to I have a question for Steve.

545
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: Do you see a parallel where we are as a

546
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: team to the eighty nine team that lost in Cleveland

547
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: thirty four to thirty. It was the same type of

548
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: game where it's sad that one team had to lose,

549
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: But the next four years we went to the Super Bowl.

550
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: Do you see where we're We're like almost there but

551
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: just not quite there yet? Thank you? Yeah, I get it,

552
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: I see it. I you know, maybe it's a team

553
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: that was a little different team in eighty nine, because

554
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: that was a team that was in turmoil most of

555
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: the regular season, but was so talented they still kind

556
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: of got in on a wild card. They were a

557
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: road wild card team. Don't forget going to Cleveland in

558
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: eighty nine and they had that was the Don Biby

559
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: blinking off the head and the Ronnie Harmon dropping the

560
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: corner of the end zone. It was a phenomenal game,

561
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: both quarterbacks Bernie Cozar and Jim Kelly playing well. And

562
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: then you know, the Bills the next year come back

563
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: and go to fourth straight. I get it. Yeah, and

564
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: the and both teams, and the Bills had lost the

565
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game to Cincinnati that year before, So yeah, yeah,

566
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: I see the parallel to that maybe, but every team's different,

567
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: every season's different, and this, you know, this Bill team

568
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: is its own thing. I see the parallels you're looking

569
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: looking at. But um, you know, we'll have to see.

570
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: If you want to try and predict the future based

571
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: on that, you can if you want. But I think

572
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: this team's gonna kind of carve its own path coming

573
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: up and over the next eight months, and we'll see

574
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: where it is in you know, in September when the

575
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: season kicks off again. But I think the Bills, Bills

576
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: fans and us included, we've got a lot to look

577
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: forward to and a lot to feel really good about

578
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: um and a lot of excitement on the horizon for

579
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: this club over the next few four or five, six,

580
00:30:54,160 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: ten years hopefully. So. Gut wrenching loss last night. Phenomenal game,

581
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, very entertaining, but you know we're

582
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: the team that were the team that gave up the

583
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: last score and that's why you lose. There were people

584
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: saying it, I don't know you, and I said it

585
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: during the week leading up. Brownie, last guy with the

586
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: ball wins and that's the way it turned out, right, Yeah,

587
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. Eight oh three oh five fifty the number

588
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: to get on board one eight five fifty two five fifty,

589
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: Ryan and Gaspard, Brad and Rochester, Hank Tight You guys

590
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: will be first up after the break as we step

591
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: aside here, but get more of your thoughts on a

592
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: painful end to the Bills twenty twenty one campaign. We're

593
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: back in a moment here on One Bill's Live, presented

594
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

595
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live. Christ round speed past

596
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: with you here on a blue Monday after your Buffalo's

597
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: gut wrenching overtime loss to the Chiefs in a divisional

598
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: playoff yesterday by a final of forty two to thirty six.

599
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: And Steve, we're more than a half hour into the

600
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: show and we haven't mentioned this. I think that you know,

601
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: I was reminded of this from our first caller JP

602
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: and Ontario when he was talking about coaching and execution

603
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: and which game was decided by which more he referenced

604
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: the Rams Bucks game. We didn't mention what I feel

605
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: was the single biggest problem execution wise in the entire

606
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: football game, and that was the Bills tackling. The Bills

607
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: are a sound fundamental defense. Evidence of that is being

608
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: number one in an innumerable amount of categories. They've had

609
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: a fantastic season. Now that's not to say they haven't

610
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: had a down performance here or there. They have not

611
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: had a bad tackling game since the Colts game, where

612
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier specifically pointed to poor tackling as one of

613
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: the reasons they could not stop Jonathan Taylor. Last night,

614
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: they had a poor tackling night. There were a countless

615
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: number of times that the defensive lineman got pressure on

616
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: quarterback Patrick Mahomes, but for some reason could not wrap

617
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: him up, and he would routinely escape from that pressure

618
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: and make an off script play. The guys on the

619
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: back end I have a little more sympathy for, and

620
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: I asked Micah Hyde and Jordan Porter this question last

621
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: night after the game. I said to them, you guys

622
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: are known as a sound, fundamental defense, but when you

623
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: are facing elite speed, the caliber that the Chiefs can

624
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: put on the field, how much does that compromise your

625
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: fundamentals Because you could be in the right place, position

626
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: yourself properly, break down properly to make a tackle, but

627
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: the guy is so fast that you're diving at him

628
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: just to get a hand on him, because the speed

629
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: is that ridiculous. How much do you think that came

630
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: into play, the elite speed steve compromising the fundamental tackling

631
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: skills of this defense. I think it's made all the

632
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 1: difference in the world. I mean, it's hard to get

633
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: close to those guys to get an arm around it.

634
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 1: You could get particularly even Mahomes in the pocket, he's

635
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: so slippery and he's so good. Our defensive line a

636
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: couple of times would get a hand on him as

637
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: they went by. Couldn't grab him. They could get a

638
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: hand on him, but not two hands. They get one

639
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: hand on him, but not an arm. They just couldn't

640
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: get enough of a big enough piece of him to

641
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: latch on. He kept stepping away out of harm's way.

642
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: That was really frustrating, I think for the defensive line

643
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: and the running game. I thought they tackled okay in

644
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: the Chiefs running game, what little there was of it.

645
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: No problem there, but man old man in the back end.

646
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: You know the speed of the Chiefs, and we saw

647
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: it in last year's championship game too. They have such

648
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: a Tyreek Hill and Mikole Hardman are so fast and

649
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: they have and Hill in particular is so explosive. They

650
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: give you that stutter step and it's over as soon

651
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: as you as soon as you lose leverage. They just

652
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: outrun the angle, and they outrun everybody's angle, and that's

653
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 1: a crush. Tyreek Hill is an angle changer for sure. Yeah,

654
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: defenders could be sound fundamental fundamentally in their angle of entry,

655
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: but he changes the angle so quickly there's no way

656
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: to recover in time. Now. I'm not absolving them of

657
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: that because Steve. You knew the game plan was going

658
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: to be rushed for. Keep it all in front of you,

659
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: and if that is your approach, you have to tackle

660
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: well to make it work. Their campy yards after the catch.

661
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: If you want to try to force them to nickel

662
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: and dime their way down the field, you give them

663
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: four yards tackle them right away. You don't give him

664
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: ten after the catch. And I think that happened all

665
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: too often that yesterday when they were defending the pass,

666
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: and it was a persistent issue from start defender. That's

667
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: the problem though. You give him the four yard catch

668
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: and you can't him them in. They just outrun the angle.

669
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: They'll lose. You see the Chiefs do this a lot,

670
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: where they'll catch it and go back towards the line

671
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: of scrimmage to outrun guys in a circle and outrun

672
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 1: the angle again. They've got that kind of create space

673
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: to create a new angle. They create space and if

674
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: you if you're not wrapped up with them when they

675
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: catch it, you're probably not going to be fast enough

676
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: to catch up to them to close that gap. So

677
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 1: these four yard catch, if they get their hands on it,

678
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: you've got to have more than one guy around him

679
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: just to him them in and finally have somebody come

680
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: in and grab him. So I yeah, I think Tyreek

681
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: Hill is more. He's certainly got the speed, and they

682
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: everybody keeps a two seat, two deep safeties to keep

683
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: a lid on the defense. And you know, because they

684
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: used to back in two or three years ago, they

685
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: just sent Tyreek Hill through the middle of the defense

686
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: and somebody had to go with him. I think now

687
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: catching him on crossing rounds, I think, at least against

688
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: the Bills defense has been the more effective way to

689
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: go because once he gets the ball in his hand

690
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: with a head of steam, he outruns the angles to

691
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: the edge and unless you're unless he's in your grasp

692
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: when he catches it, you can't get him. You have

693
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: to have extra help, so unless you gotta double team

694
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: him and the both guys got to be in the

695
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: right spot, and you got to be sound with your angles,

696
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: and you can't let him get around the edge. It's

697
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: just too hard to do. And that's one of the

698
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: things why you know you got to defend the Chiefs

699
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: at both ends of the past. You gotta get Mahomes

700
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: uncomfortable and off his spot running around and then you

701
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: got to hold up in the back end to keep

702
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: these guys covered up at least on their first option

703
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: before you start sticking to him. It's their offense. I

704
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 1: mean both these offenses, Bills and the Chiefs. In this game,

705
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks made it impossible to sack. I mean

706
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: both guys got sacked twice. I think one of them.

707
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,439
Speaker 1: I think Josh got taken down twice. Mahomes got taken

708
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: down once and then ran out of bounds behind the

709
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage on a pass play for a sack.

710
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: You know, I think the Bills had sixteen yards in sacks.

711
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs had two for nine yards or

712
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: something like that. You just can't get those guys. And

713
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: both these offenses are the exact same. They threw for

714
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: a ton of yards, no interceptions. I mean, good grief.

715
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: That puts the stress on both of these defenses. Last

716
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: night was unbelievable. And I think the one thing that

717
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: got the Bills on the wrong end of the stick

718
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: was the fact that the Chiefs had ten minutes of

719
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 1: extra time of possession. And that's one of the things

720
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: that the third quarter was a killer. Yeah, third quarter

721
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: was a killer. The Bills defense got worn out in

722
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: the third quarter of the Bills offense had four plays

723
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 1: from scrimmage in the third quarter and it just wore

724
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: out the Bills defense and it was rough sledding from there.

725
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones though, and to Ryan and

726
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: GasPort next. What do you have for us? Ryan, You're

727
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: on one Bill's life. Hey, guys, I just want to

728
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: thank you for Keith entertaining informed all your great season

729
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: of the Bills. I just wanted to comment on the

730
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: fact that I'm on the last two drives last night

731
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: with the offense and the ball in their hand. I

732
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: have never had such blind face in a quarterback or

733
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: an offensive unit in general. I think last night Ala

734
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: might have almost burst a new kind of mistaque, almost

735
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: like a Boogeyman one plane particular, when he ran it

736
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: up the gut there and just pancake that chief Chiefs back.

737
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: I think what they did last night was they set

738
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: themselves up for years to come something really special. So

739
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: just thank ye, thanks again and Leah appreciate appreciate that

740
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: Ryan way to look at it glass half full. Um, Yeah,

741
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: I think you know, Patrick Maholmes won the battle. It'll

742
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: be interesting to where this goes from here because I

743
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: don't know about you, Steve, but this is very much

744
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: shaping up in the AFC anyway to be Brady, to

745
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: be Brady Manning all over again. Now, the unfortunate thing

746
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: about that is Manning didn't beat Brady until after six

747
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: kicks at the can in the playoffs. He lost his

748
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: first six playoff meetings with Tom Brady. I don't know

749
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: if I could stomach that kind of a string. We

750
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: gotta break through here sooner than that, because I'm not

751
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make it. I think it's even I

752
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: think it's more so. Uh. And it was Brady Manning

753
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: both in the AFC, along with Philip Rivers and Ben

754
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger in the AFC. H there were some guys in

755
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: the in the conference for all of those years. Yeah,

756
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: and with with Mahomes Alan, with Burrow, with Herbert, with

757
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Um, Yeah, there's it's gonna be it's gonna

758
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: be battle. It's going to be a really tough conference.

759
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: But I think that, you know, here's the thing. The

760
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: team aspect of football really gets me because sooner or later,

761
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: something's going to happen to the Chiefs where they're not

762
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: going to be able to field Tyreek Hill and Travis

763
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Mikole Hardman to have those weapons around them.

764
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: The Bills have interchangeable weapons, so they're set up to

765
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: go forward if they lose one or two of their weapons.

766
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: The Bills are built to kind of overcome that with

767
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 1: the depth of their roster. Now it's gonna have to change, obviously,

768
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: because you know the off season's coming and all that,

769
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: and there's three agents and guys contracts are upping out.

770
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: But that's been a different philosophy, I think than the Chiefs. Now,

771
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: not that the Chiefs couldn't do that, but they kind

772
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: of go with the same four guys as weapons in

773
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense if and then if you throw in

774
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: Klyde Edwards Hilaire, the Bills go six deep at least

775
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: at wide out and they only play three at a time,

776
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: so it's a little different. Um. I'm kind of with

777
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with Ryan when he says that blind

778
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: faith was it was unbelievable to watch that game last night,

779
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: and I really thought when Tyreek Hill scored at sixty

780
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: four yard or what a what a dagger that was,

781
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: Except for the fact I well, one oh two, we

782
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: got some time outs. I go, we got a chance,

783
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, I go, we got a chance, and certainly

784
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: we went down and UH in forty nine seconds threw

785
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: it right back in their face. Um, what a What

786
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: an end of your game, and what a moment for

787
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: Josh Allen this offense to UH to flex um. Both

788
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: these offensesn't I don't know if you'd be hard pressed

789
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: to find anybody doesn't say those two offenses were neck

790
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: and neck for that for that game. Josh Allen match

791
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes throw for throw, completed seventy three percent of

792
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: his passes, four touchdowns, no interceptions. It was unbelievable the

793
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: two of those guys. So going forward, I think it's

794
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: it is good for Bills fans, and I think it's

795
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to think about. We've got a

796
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: guy that's going to be in the conversation no matter

797
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: who is in the conversation, and that's a pretty good

798
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: place to be. Brad and Rochester will be first after

799
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: the break. Brad, I'm sorry we got to yapp in there.

800
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 1: We didn't get to you. We will get you first

801
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: up when we come back from break here and address

802
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: what your thoughts were coming out of the game last night.

803
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: It's a hard one to take, but we're trying to

804
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: get through it. Here today, on a Monday, we're back

805
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 1: with more Here on one, Bills Live because anybody collied

Speaker 1: backs down Buffalo Gabriel Davis again, Are you kidding me?

809
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: Unbelievable that Bills get the lead back again. That is

810
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,399

Speaker 1: making him the only player in NFL history with four

814

817
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: ninety eight wildcard playoff game at Miami. Unfortunately, for both

818
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: of those players, those magnificent individual performances came in playoff losses.

819
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: We go to the phones, and as promised, we go

820
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: to Brad and Rochester, who's been waiting patiently, Brad, what

821
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, guys,

822
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: first of all, the whole learn from this. I mean,

823
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: to me, that's for staff that are together. You're to this.

824
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: Stat's been together. I mean final, they should have it together.

825
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: I just I'm gonna go right to that thirteen seconds.

826
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I don't care what Tyree Kill did earlier

827
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: in the game. You've gotta get on you gotta get

828
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: up on the line. There's thirteen seconds. You have to

829
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: slow them up. Seconds or the essence. You can't just

830
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 1: play let him play pitch and catch. You're ten yards

831
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: off the ball. You're basically just letting them play catch

832
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: in the backyard and then scurry for another five d

833
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: eight to ten yards. You can't do it. You gotta

834
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: get on the line. You gotta bump them, and if

835
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 1: you lose that way, so be it. You've got supposed

836
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,479
Speaker 1: the number one defense. And to me, you're showing them

837
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: or telling them you don't trust them to get on

838
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: the line and just eat some time. Get them off

839
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: the roots. If you bump them, here's a couple of seconds.

840
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: Make them scurry and try to get more yards. Try

841
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: to get through some defenders. Maybe that's a couple more seconds.

842
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: They let them play pitch and catch. It was. It

843
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: was laughable to me. And it's just, oh, what a

844
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: way to lose. And they are aggressive all game and

845
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: then at the end they played scared, played not to

846
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: lose instead of trying to win. I would have rather

847
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: have him go down trying to win and being aggressive.

848
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: And you see these prevount defenses in games like this

849
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 1: all the time, and it's the worst thing to watch.

850
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: You gotta get on there, you gotta slow him up,

851
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: you gotta get him off the roots. And it doesn't work,

852
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: so be it. And I you know what, if Leslie

853
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: Fraser gets another job, nothing against him. He's done a

854
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: decent job when he was here. But after that yesterday,

855
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: I hope he gets a head coaching job somewhere. It

856
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: wouldn't It wouldn't break my heart if he didn't. So

857
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: what do you think they should do now, Brad? I'm

858
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: Brad left you hung up? Yeah? I mean, look, you

859
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: can argue the strategy there. You know a hundred different

860
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: ways it didn't work. So I mean, I'm all for

861
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: bumping people at the line. I'll sign up for that.

862
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,919
Speaker 1: And you have guys deep in case that guy gets beat.

863
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: The other thing that was brought to the table buy

864
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: a lot of fans on social media was get up

865
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: on the line, get in their face, bump him, reroute him,

866
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 1: and if somehow they square free or you're worried about

867
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: him getting away from you, just hold him. It's five yards,

868
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: it's a first down, but you've killed some fast should have.

869
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: And I realize, I realize the game can't end on

870
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: a defensive penalty, so you can't do that all the

871
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: way down the field, but you could. That's another US down.

872
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: At the first sign of that, the thought was that

873
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: if you if you go up, play him, bump and

874
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: at the snap of the ball, just grab him and

875
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 1: hold him and tackle him, all of them. And Mahomes

876
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: has got to decide, right then, is he gonna hang

877
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: it and see if one of them can get loose

878
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: and you can throw it, or is he gonna spike

879
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 1: the ball right there? Take the five yards. That's fine,

880
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: But the time doesn't go back on the clock. So

881
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: however long it takes Pat Mahomes to decide, Oh, oh,

882
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: my guys are getting tackled. I don't know what are they? Oh?

883
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: I get it and spike the ball to end the

884
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: play and take the five yards is time you get

885
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: in your favor, it's five yards and whatever if it

886
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 1: takes four seconds, now you got nine seconds and you've

887
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: got you know, thirty five. You don't give up a

888
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: nineteen yard play on first down because the guy got tackled.

889
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: So there's that as two. But that requires you to deliberately,

890
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, cheat and commit a penalty. But that was

891
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: a strategy that could have been done. And I don't

892
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: know how you practice it, I guess, but that's one

893
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: strategy that was put out there pretty quickly that in

894
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: a situation like that, when there's such a small amount

895
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: of time there and they got a long way to go,

896
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: just tackle their guys, let the clock run out, and

897
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 1: then give up one last play instead of two last plays.

898
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, and I get this too. I've said

899
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: it a million times. Always when it doesn't work, you

900
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: should have done the other thing, and the other thing

901
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: always looks smarter in hindsight. But I'm with you. That

902
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: was a game where you did not want to give

903
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: up the touchdown, and you just did less than sixty

904
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: seconds a game time before that, Um and Let's not

905
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 1: forget too that they did play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

906
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: tight in overtime of that game, and then they got

907
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: victimized on a crossing pattern that went for a touchdown.

908
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: They were playing up you know, up close to the

909
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, so maybe recent past history impacted the

910
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: strategy there as well. Let's squeeze in Larry and Buffalo

911
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: here before the break. Larry, what do you have for us?

912
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's lives. Oh, Larry, right, but hey,

913
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: hey fellas, how are you doing today? Good? Wait, you

914
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: got for us quick quick question. I'm a old football

915
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: you seven years old. Wouldn't have been better for them

916
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 1: to squib kick that ball instead of going all the

917
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: way because if you swim kick it, the Chiefs have

918
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 1: to touch the ball that right, I mean you know, yeah,

919
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing, and here's the idea behind it. Larry.

920
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 1: If they squib it, the Chiefs probably would say, listen,

921
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 1: if they squib this down there, they'll tell the official

922
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: before the play happens. Listen, if they squib this, we're

923
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna get on it and give ourselves up. Don't let

924
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: any time run off, so you gain one second probably

925
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,760
Speaker 1: and whatever field position would happen because of the squib.

926
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: If you squib it down there and they attack it

927
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: like they should and give themselves up, they could have

928
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: gotten extra field position outside the twenty five if they

929
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: could have been that fast. But there's the question how

930
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: deep would the squib have gone and how much time

931
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: would have run off, knowing if they'd got and just

932
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: fallen down and the official would have stopped it immediately.

933
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: So that's the only thing you don't know. My thought was,

934
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: and I said this before, if you kick it high

935
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: and deep and let it land inside the ten or

936
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: inside the five, even probably inside the ten, and then

937
00:50:54,680 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: cover the kick. He's so deep he won't probably fair

938
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: catch it, but if he returns it, you get. You

939
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: gain that time that it would have taken him to

940
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: return it. So if a thirteen seconds it takes him

941
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: four seconds or three seconds or six seconds, that's the

942
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: time you get back. But you do give up the

943
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 1: risk that the guy's gonna run for a touchdown. So

944
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: that's the only difference there is. I don't think the

945
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: squib was the way to go because of the unpredictability

946
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: of it, and I think that's why the kick out

947
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: of the end zones even better than the squib, but

948
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 1: the high deep kick outside in the field of play

949
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: might have been a better one, obviously, the way it

950
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: turned out that we'll never know. Yeah, all right, we

951
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: are up against the breaks, so we have to take

952
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 1: one here, but Billy and Toronto others holding an eight

953
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,280

Speaker 1: and wherever Bills fans may be residing a cross pass

967
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: with a Bills fan in the hotel here in Kansas

968
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 1: City this morning. And he looked at him and he goes, well,

969
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: the sun did come up today. And I looked at

970
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: him and I said, were you not sure? He said,

971
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: I was wondering. And that's how a lot of Bills

972
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: fans feel today. For sure. We want to get right

973

Speaker 1: fifty see the phone lines lighten up there. So we'll

Speaker 1: get to as many of you as we can here.

977
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: But we lead off in this segment with Billy in Toronto. Billy,

978
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's lives. Yeah, yeah,

979
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: don't forget us guys on the other side of the border. Man,

980
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: we're real in two man. That was just one tough

981
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: bass loss. Guys. Yeah, here's how I see it. I

982
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: see it a little differently. I blame this game totally

983
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: on our defense. I mean, I've heard how great Bulls

984
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: is as a defensive coordinator. I hear how great he's

985
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: got to be. The next you know, the next coaching

986
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: position is going to be his. I did not understand

987
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: this this attack at all. First of all, We've played

988
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: them twice, so we know. You know last year getting

989
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,439
Speaker 1: beat by him, we blew them out this year. We

990
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: know this team, and I just cannot believe the scouting

991
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: of one Patrick Mahomes. First of all, last year in

992
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl Tampa, they destroyed Mahomes. And how did

993
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 1: they do it? They sent the house and they felt

994
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: and they didn't fall for any of that little ginicky

995
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: playground football that he played. If he looks like he's

996
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: going out of bounds, he's not. If he looks like

997
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw the ball over a charging defensive lineman,

998
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: he's not. So many times not the big plays that

999
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,720
Speaker 1: killed us so many times, third and eight, third and seven,

1000
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: we had him trapped in one little fake and he's

1001
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: he's faking our line out of their jockstrap. Just go

1002
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 1: at Mahomes, go at him strong. If they if they

1003
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: had him thrown a pass that they blitz and they

1004
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 1: went down and scored a touchdown. So what they scored

1005
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: six touchdowns in the game. Anyway, I did not like

1006
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: the approach. I did not like to sit back. I

1007
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: would have, like you've seen our defense, I tack Mahomes

1008
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: and make them just take the run right away from him.

1009
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: That's all I got, guys. Tough blocks, man. Yeah, it

1010
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: was tough, Billy. And I get your point. I see

1011
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: what you're saying, Billy, but I I respectfully disagree to

1012
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: a certain extent. Yeah, I mean, what do you think

1013
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs What do you think the Chiefs defense is

1014
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 1: talking about Josh Allen? You know, I mean he did

1015
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: the same thing to the Chiefs that the Bills had

1016
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: done to them by Pat Mahomes. And you can scout

1017
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: that all you want to, it's not going to change

1018
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: the fact that he's faster and slipperier than any of

1019
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: the defensive line. And last year's Super Bowl with Tampa

1020
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: Bay does not apply here. It's a different universe. The

1021
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: Kansas City offensive line was decimated in the Championship game

1022
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 1: by the Bills defense. Both tackles gone, they were playing

1023
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: with with. You know, the last guys picked on the

1024
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: schoolyard at tackle and the and the Chiefs paid the

1025
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: price because the Bucks had an incredible pass rush that

1026
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: was even more phenomenal because the Chiefs had a backup

1027
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: reserve defensive one. They had two backup tackles. So and

1028
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,760
Speaker 1: to say that the Bucks sent the house at Mahomes.

1029
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: They did not send that. They did them. They sent

1030
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: four guys and that was it. And they got pressure

1031
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: right now with four guys rushing on high school players.

1032
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: So it's a it's completely different and you can't make

1033
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: that comparison. It doesn't fit. Yeah, and I'll take it

1034
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 1: a step further. Patrick mahomes mobility was compromised by a

1035
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: foot injury. He couldn't run around as much. So you

1036
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: roll that all together. Two backup tackles for the Chiefs

1037
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, A more talented, more proven front

1038
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: four for the Bucks than the Bills could put on

1039
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: the field. I mean you're talking about and Dominan, Sue

1040
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: Vita Vea, Jason Pierre Paul, and Shack Barrett. I mean,

1041
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,720
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? The Bills don't roll out guys

1042
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: like and I'll say this, the Bills are trying to

1043
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 1: get to that point. I mean they're spent a lot

1044
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: of draft capital on big boys up front, Greg Russo,

1045
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver. They drafted Harrison Phillips in the third round.

1046
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: They brought in m Starlotula, They still got Jerry Hughes.

1047
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: They brought in free agents in Vernon butler aj Panessa

1048
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: Mario adds, they have put a ton of capital into

1049
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: the pass rush up front and to the point where

1050
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: they got eight guys rushing through there. They see that

1051
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: and everybody does. So they're trying to find that guy

1052
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: in the draft high up and I I won't be

1053
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: surprised if it happens again this draft. Who are a

1054
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: long way from it. Yeah, but that's they get that.

1055
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: They understand that. But it's not easy. It's as hard

1056
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: to find those guy. Well, it's not as hard, but

1057
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: it's like trying to find a franchise quarterback. Aaron Donald's

1058
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: come around once in a while, not every draft. The

1059
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: problem is the past rush of the Bucks last year

1060
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: was reaching its peak. It had guys at the apex

1061
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: of their careers, if not on the way down from

1062
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: the apex of their career. And Dominican Sue, for example,

1063
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: the Bills have a pass rush that is very much

1064
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: in transition. You have older players that are past their

1065
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: prime that are still serviceable, but are not at their

1066
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: peak anymore. And then you couple that with some young

1067
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: players who haven't developed into dominant players, players that opponents

1068
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: have to gain plan for. Buffalo's pass rush was very

1069
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: much one that was in transition between the old players

1070
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: aging out and young players on the way up. They

1071
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: don't have anybody really that you could argue had reached

1072
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: their peak. At Oliver showed signs of that here in

1073
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: its third season, but that's really the only guy. And

1074
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips. I'll tip my hat to Harrison Phillips. He

1075
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: had a nice finish to the season as well. But

1076
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: beyond those two guys, you had very young players and

1077
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 1: some long in the tooth players, and because of that,

1078
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: I felt like Buffalo's pass rush was in transition all

1079
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: season long. Let's go back to the phones and we

1080
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: go to Mike and Rochester. Next. Mike, what do you

1081
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: have for us? You're one, Hey, guys, thanks for taking

1082
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: my call. I'm not gonna ask how you're doing today

1083
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: because it's just anything like me, I already know, so

1084
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: I'll just get right to it. Steve, it's a pleasure

1085
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 1: to talk to you. Loved watching you as a young kid,

1086
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: and my first question is to you, and you know,

1087
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: what type of advice would you give to these guys,

1088
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,919
Speaker 1: You know, having lost such a tough in a momentous game,

1089
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: you know, such a pivotal game like that. How do

1090
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: you rebound from something like that? Having gone through everything

1091
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: that you went through with the four Super Bowls? You know,

1092
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: how do you how do you rebound from something like

1093
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: that to get back there next year? And then my

1094
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: second question that I wanted to talk about was, you

1095
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: know where our number one defense was in that last

1096
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds. I mean, I know everybody's been bringing it up,

1097
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: but I mean, if I was the coach next year,

1098
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: that number thirteen would be hanging all throughout the locker

1099
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: room next year to give these guys, you know, some

1100
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: momentum here, because I just look at what we did

1101
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: to them in Week five and how we were able

1102
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: to contain them. And I don't look at our defense

1103
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: other than the loss of Trey White as something major

1104
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,479
Speaker 1: had happened. I mean, I look at what we did

1105
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: all offseason to bring in these guys. We drafted Rousseau,

1106
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: we drafted Basham, we brought an Faobada, we brought in Sanders,

1107
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: We brought in all these resources to beat the Chiefs,

1108
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: and they did it in Week five. And I don't

1109
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: really look at the Chiefs offense. I understand that they

1110
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: went through their ups and flows, just like everybody did.

1111
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: But I mean, I look at what their offense was

1112
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: able to put out on the field in Week five

1113
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: and how we were able to contain them, Travis Kelsey,

1114
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill both under a hundred yards. I mean, we

1115
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: couldn't do that again. And I understand that you have

1116
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: to adapt and change, but I mean the last thirteen

1117
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: seconds there, why we're not pressed enough, Why we're giving

1118
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: them the middle of the field. I'd like to know

1119
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: whose call that was, Fraziers mcdermot's. I mean, I love

1120
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: both of them, but I mean somebody's got to step

1121
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: up and take responsibility and explain why there was no

1122
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: press in that time. So I appreciate you guys. I'll

1123
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:17,959
Speaker 1: hang up and listen. Thank you guys for everything. Gobs. Yeah,

1124
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: there's no getting around it. The thirteen second drive, they

1125
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: screwed that up, I thought, I mean, there's just no

1126
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: way around it. I think if they had to do again,

1127
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: they do it differently, no question about it. But they

1128
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: went with what they got because I think they went

1129
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: with that and we set it a couple of times.

1130
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: They just gave up a sixty four yard touchdown three

1131
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 1: play drive on the series before that, they got to

1132
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: keep everything in front of them, and they're hoping that

1133
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs they're going to kind of let the Chiefs

1134
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: make a mistake, and the Chiefs didn't do it. You know,

1135
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: you think the Chiefs would maybe throw it and a

1136
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: guy would run around trying to do something or whatever.

1137
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,959
Speaker 1: The Chiefs did it exactly right. They got the ball

1138
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: to the guys who could do the damage. Tyreek killed

1139
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Terravis Kelsey got the ball, got down, took the time out.

1140
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: The three timeouts were crucial for no question about it.

1141
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Chiefs got it done. The Bills actually,

1142
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to look at the at

1143
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: the put it in a nutshell. The Bill said, all right,

1144
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: let's see if you can do this without these two

1145
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 1: or three plays. Go forty yards with absolutely no mistakes,

1146
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: and see if you can do it. And the Chiefs did.

1147
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: The Bills did not attack them in that situation, no

1148
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: question about it. They rushed four guys instead of dropping

1149
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: eight or dropping nine, and they left seven guys in

1150
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,919
Speaker 1: the secondary, and they gave up too many yards, There's

1151
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And if they had to do

1152
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: over again, no doubt about it, they'd do something different.

1153
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: There's just no way around it. Yeah, what else did

1154
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: he say? Oh what advice you wanted to know about

1155
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: coming back? Yeah? Coming back? I'll tell stabilitating loss like

1156
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: that for the next season. I'll tell you exactly what

1157
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 1: you gotta get away. I think he's got to leave town.

1158
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: Go do something else for a month or so, a

1159
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, let yourself heal up a little bit,

1160
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: and let you let yourself start missing it, and then

1161
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: start back in slowly, you know, give yourself some time off,

1162
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: go do something with your wife, family, or your your

1163
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, your core group of advisors, whatever you want

1164
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: to whatever you want to call it. Take off, right,

1165
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:25,919
Speaker 1: you take off, disappear for two to three weeks, maybe

1166
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: a month on the most, at the most, and then

1167
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: you get back into it and you let it settle

1168
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 1: down sometime after the super Bowl, come back and get

1169
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: back into it. But yeah, the best way to do

1170
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: is just get away from it for a minute. Text

1171
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 1: with your buddies, maybe spend some time with the people

1172
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: you love and respect the most, maybe even some teammates

1173
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: or whatever so you can commiserate together. But then you

1174
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: just come back and start bouncing back. You'd be surprised

1175
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: at how fast it happens. You start to miss the

1176
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: daily routine of the season. You start to miss seeing

1177
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: the guys and talking to the guys. You wonder how

1178
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: they're doing, and that kind of thing, and you want

1179
01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: to get back in and it does. It takes a

1180
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks or whatever. Certainly after the Super Bowl

1181
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: I'd give it. And then you know, you start to

1182
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: feel like something's missing, and that's when, and that's when

1183
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: it's time to come back. You just give yourself a

1184
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 1: chance to start missing it and then you come back

1185
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 1: and just keep moving on all you can do. Let's

1186
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: go to Jack and Buffalo. Next, Jack, what do you

1187
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's Live, Hi guys,

1188
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Sad Monday. Obviously, Um, I just got two things on

1189
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: two forest downs. I had no problem with it, but

1190
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: the one I think they gave it to a single

1191
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: terror and he got stuffed. The other they gave it

1192
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: to Josh, and I don't know if it was a

1193
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: sweep or a quarterback draw he got stuffed. My thing was,

1194
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: we're throwing the ball the whole game. You know, no

1195
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:59,479
Speaker 1: one's dropping anything. It's only a yard or two. Why

1196
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: not throw yeah, I get it. Here's the thing on

1197
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: fourth down conversions. In that game, the Bills were let's

1198
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: see here, let me get the let me get the

1199
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 1: I got the wrong. Oh, here we go third fourth down.

1200
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: The Bills were four for four on fourth down. So

1201
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking. Wasn't it wasn't a

1202
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: fourth down play. He had a third and short. He

1203
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: was talking about two and right, and the Bills were

1204
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: six to fourteen on third down, which is you'd love

1205
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: to be better than that. But yeah, there were four

1206
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: or four and fourth down. But if there's a third down, okay, Yeah,

1207
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: I get you, and I get it. I think one

1208
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: of them was a sweep where Josh got just stuffed,

1209
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: and I think they went They went to the well

1210
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 1: one too many times in the run game, no question

1211
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: about it. But Josh was playing lights out and in

1212
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: those situations where stuff's happen, and I have no problem

1213
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: putting it in his hands. He's the best player on

1214
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: the field. Put the ball in his hands and let

1215
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: him go. If they went to the well one too

1216
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: many times, fine, particularly if it was a third down,

1217
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: because if it's that close, you can get a fourth

1218
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:12,959
Speaker 1: and go forward again. So on the third and fourth

1219
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: down conversions. Man, I have no problems with it. I

1220
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: was really happy, and I was a thought. It was

1221
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,919
Speaker 1: a little bit like shrug your shoulders and raise your eyebrows, like, yeah,

1222
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:22,919
Speaker 1: they went to for two fourth downs on the first

1223
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: series of the game and got them both. That said

1224
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: a lot about setting the tone, I think, mentally for

1225
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: the team. And then the seventeen player drive, I mean

1226
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 1: that was all guts. That that was all cuts. I mean,

1227
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: third and three he throws to complete it five yard

1228
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 1: or to Beasley. Third and four he converts on a run,

1229
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: Third and one he converts on a run, Fourth and

1230
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: four he converts on a run. And then fourth and

1231
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: thirteen the touchdown pass. I mean it was an insane

1232
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: drive of pure guts and mental fortitude seventeen plays. And

1233
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: after that the Chiefs defense was gassed. The Bills offense

1234
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: could do whatever they wanted after that as well, and

1235
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: the defense was gassed, so too was the Chiefs. And

1236
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: you know they are they forced overtime Bills win the

1237
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: coin toss. They would have won that game. I think

1238
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 1: so too. I think there was no defense stopping anybody

1239
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: at that Yeah, and I'm I will say it again.

1240
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: We said at the top of the show, I'm not

1241
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 1: down for the conversation about this change overtime rules because

1242
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: I've been We've been here one hundred times before. Every

1243
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: time a game like this happens, it happens. It happened

1244
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs in twenty seventeen with the Patriots in

1245
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: then AFC Championship game where it went to overtime. Tom

1246
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: Brady and the Patriots go bing the bopany boop in

1247
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: overtime touchdown games over Mahomes never sees the field and

1248
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: everybody was up in arms, just like last night. So

1249
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 1: here's the football is always going to be about offense

1250
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: and defense. You gotta make a stop, and I know

1251
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: it in these games like this that we're watching, and

1252
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: the ones that you always hear about are the ones

1253
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: when the defenses can't stop anybody. So the coin flip

1254
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: does make a difference, But in the overall scheme of things,

1255
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: it's fifty fifty. The team that wins the coin toss

1256
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: wins the game half the time. It doesn't always happen

1257
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: like that, but in these games where you got Mahomes

1258
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 1: and and Alan or Brady and Manning or whatever, whoever,

1259
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: whatever you know, skyrocket teams you want to you want

1260
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: to say in games like that, Yeah, first team that

1261
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: gets it, goes down, scores a touchdown, they win. It's

1262
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: only half true. They only do it half the time.

1263
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 1: The stats say it. They got they got the rules

1264
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: right where they want it. If you don't decisively win,

1265
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:39,719
Speaker 1: like score touchdown, the other team does get a chance

1266
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 1: to possess the ball. But I think I'm in agreement.

1267
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: You gotta put defense in there. You got to get

1268
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 1: a stop on defense to deserve to win the game

1269
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: and overtime, and it's hard to do. It's hard to do.

1270
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Back to the phones, we go and we go to

1271
01:08:58,120 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: Mark and Ken Moore in X what do you have

1272
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 1: for a smart year on one pills live? Well, I

1273
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: think you just answered my question on the overtime issue.

1274
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,759
Speaker 1: What do you think is there a long term impact

1275
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 1: you think on Josh with us in what way? Negative? Oh?

1276
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so. No, No, I think we've learned

1277
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: from the last two ways. The season ended with a

1278
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 1: playoff loss. It only fuels him as I see it.

1279
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: I remember him after the Houston playoff loss. I'm sitting

1280
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 1: there in the postgame media room, and he said, I

1281
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 1: will not forget this game and get over it until

1282
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: we play a regular season game again. He holds onto

1283
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: this stuff. It eats at him and it fuels him,

1284
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 1: and he uses it as motivation to improve his personal game.

1285
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 1: And what have we seen, Like he had his breakout

1286
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: year last year and you know, the first COVID year,

1287
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 1: and I would argue that he got even better this

1288
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: year in certain areas of his game. Sure, the completion

1289
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 1: percentages and as high as it was last year, and

1290
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: neither is the passer rating, But in terms of situational football,

1291
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: I think that's where his game grew the most this year.

1292
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 1: And I think some of that is a derivative of

1293
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 1: the motivation he takes from not getting to the top

1294
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: of the NFL mountain the year before. I think I

1295
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 1: agree with you, Brownie. He uses it as motivation. It's

1296
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: it's what keeps him going, and I think it's it's

1297
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: a healthy place to be knowing that failure is going

1298
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 1: to hit everybody at some point, and it's how you

1299
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 1: handle that that you know takes you to another level.

1300
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: Growth is uncomfortable, and I don't think there's gonna be

1301
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 1: a long term negative effect on Josh for this for

1302
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 1: a loss like this, And I'll say this too, he

1303
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: did have a breakout years last year, but I'll say this,

1304
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: the way he finished this season, we haven't seen a

1305
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: quarterback play that good in back to back games and

1306
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: maybe in league history, let alone in Buffalo the game.

1307
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 1: He does not forget the game he put up against

1308
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: New England last weekend, and then to go into Kansas

1309
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 1: City on the road and do what he did there right,

1310
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: blow for blow, throw for throw, touchdown for touchdown with

1311
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes in a hostile environment in the last couple

1312
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: of minutes of the game. No, I think the sky's

1313
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 1: the limit. I think one of the reasons, and I

1314
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,679
Speaker 1: think you're right, Brownie. In some ways his numbers were

1315
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 1: down in like completion percentage or whatever, But in some

1316
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:45,560
Speaker 1: ways I think his game elevated because I think quarterbacks

1317
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: tell you this, and I've been listening to someone of

1318
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 1: the expert quarterbacks saying, like Kurt Warner, Chris Simms, Phil Simms, Boomer,

1319
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: some of the guys I know, Dan Orlovsky, Josh is

1320
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: getting better at taking the layups. He's getting He's started

1321
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,640
Speaker 1: taking him last year. But now I think in his

1322
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks and last month and a half

1323
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: is getting to be part of his game, and he's

1324
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:10,800
Speaker 1: starting to do it all the time, and I think

1325
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: that has elevated him. And man, he's almost impossible to

1326
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 1: get off the field. Yea, look at the first drive. Yeah,

1327
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,479
Speaker 1: he was checking the ball down the first drive the

1328
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: whole way down back too. Yeah. And then you know,

1329
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: they ran it down in the red zone again, as

1330
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: has been their m O through the last half of

1331
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: the season, and they get in the end zone. So yeah,

1332
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's learned how to hurt defenses

1333
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: in different ways, not just with a rocket arm throwing

1334
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:39,680
Speaker 1: fifty yard bombs. And that's that's the situational football that

1335
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. That's where I think his game has

1336
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: elevated the most from last year to this year. It's

1337
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 1: in that situational football and making the right decisions in

1338
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: a given play based on what the defense has given him.

1339
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: We got we got time to squeeze in one more

1340
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: here before the break. We'll go to Fred on a cell. Fred,

1341
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:59,799
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Yeah, guys,

1342
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,799
Speaker 1: thanks for tecting my call. They're not feeling too good today.

1343
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: I suppose not too many of us are, but just

1344
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:14,480
Speaker 1: a thing. I very seldom disagree with Steve, but I

1345
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 1: am really upset. And I've been a BUILD stand for

1346
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: ever since the rock pile days that season before you

1347
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: guys were around. But these overtime roles, you know what

1348
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 1: is the problem if a team, If two teams battle

1349
01:13:29,520 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 1: the way these two teams did last night, and I

1350
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: agree with you, if they would have won the coin cost,

1351
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: the Build would have won the game. There's no question

1352
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: in my mind. Why should a coin cast determine a

1353
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: game which is exactly what it did yesterday when you

1354
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 1: have an exquisite played game that's the super Bowl. So

1355
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned what was played last night. It doesn't

1356
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: get any better than that. But it seems to me

1357
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: that something should be done. Whether you give both teams

1358
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 1: an opportunity to give or whatever, make the overtime at least, um,

1359
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, at least there to both teams. I don't

1360
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:13,480
Speaker 1: see the big problem with that. Well, here's the thing

1361
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: I don't want to Fred hold On, I don't know

1362
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: about you know, give them both teams have to play.

1363
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Defense counts, And I get it that

1364
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:29,639
Speaker 1: last night was a downer and everything because our team

1365
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to possess the ball. But you

1366
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: got to. You gotta stop somebody, and that's your defense

1367
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: is just as important as your offense. And what happens

1368
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 1: is the rules have been tweaked over the years. It

1369
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 1: used to be sudden death where it was a field

1370
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: goal and you were done. So now they said, okay,

1371
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 1: if you score a field goal, that's not good enough.

1372
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 1: You gotta score a touchdown to win the game. And

1373
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,600
Speaker 1: if you score a field goal the other team, you know,

1374
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 1: you kick off and the other team gets a chance.

1375
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: So they have tinkered with the rules to make it

1376
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: possible for you to possess the ball, but you gotta

1377
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 1: get a stop, and if you're not gonna do that,

1378
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: you don't deserve to win the game. And and you

1379
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:08,799
Speaker 1: can say all you want, and I get it too.

1380
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: I feel like if the coin toss would have been

1381
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: the other way, the Bills would have had just as

1382
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 1: good a chance as the Chiefs to go down score

1383
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 1: the other direction, But the Chiefs would have been the

1384
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:19,799
Speaker 1: same spot. They would have needed to get a stop.

1385
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 1: And defense is always going to be just as important

1386
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: as offense, and you gotta play both sides of the ball.

1387
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 1: That's why the Bills had such an opportunity this season.

1388
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be a bummer to see that number

1389
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:37,679
Speaker 1: one defense not get them there. But yeah, the the

1390
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:41,599
Speaker 1: overtime rules are as fair as they can be because

1391
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:43,679
Speaker 1: everybody knows them going in and they and both teams

1392
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: got a chance. But you gotta play both sides of

1393
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: the ball. What else did you have there? Fred, it's

1394
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: something else? Well, I still don't know if I agree

1395
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 1: with Steve. And that's okay, Fred, you don't have to.

1396
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: I know it's a it's a hard one to get over.

1397
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: Go ahead. Yeah, but again again, and I want to

1398
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: kick my hat to you, um, Chris, because there's three

1399
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 1: things that, um, I think you've done and you really

1400
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: didn't had any way you see this. Um. One of

1401
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 1: them was called calling out Gabe Davis. I think you

1402
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: did this a long time ago, and I don't know

1403
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,600
Speaker 1: whether anybody heard you on the coaching staff or not,

1404
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 1: but he really did come through this year. Um. Two

1405
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: other things I agree with you about Chelsea and that

1406
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 1: second place. I don't know what happened there. He was

1407
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: the wide out on the left hand side, and why

1408
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: there wasn't somebody at least up in his stace a

1409
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: little bit more. I don't understand. And I also agree

1410
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 1: with you one more thing. I think our tackling could

1411
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 1: have been a little better last night. But anyway, Hey,

1412
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:48,639
Speaker 1: we're we got a good team. We're gonna go far. Uh,

1413
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna be a while with you over

1414
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,719
Speaker 1: this one. But I got over four Super Bowl boxes, Steve,

1415
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,599
Speaker 1: you did too, So the sun will come out and

1416
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna be good. We're gonna be good for a

1417
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 1: while here in the peach, all right, Fred, Thanks Fred,

1418
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 1: good call, Thanks for doing it, appreciate it. And yeah,

1419
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 1: you want to believe that it's gonna be our turn

1420
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 1: at some point in time. It's got to be. The

1421
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: football gods have put us through enough over the years.

1422
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,759
Speaker 1: It's got to be our time at some point. Hopefully

1423
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: it's sooner rather than later. We've got to take a

1424
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 1: break here or your phone calls. And we got some

1425
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 1: comments from the players here on locker clean out day

1426
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: that we have to get to as well. We'll get

1427
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 1: you their thoughts. Post mortem from sunday Nights difficult overtime

1428
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 1: defeat at the hands of the now fourth straight appearance

1429
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs in the a FC title game. Kudos

1430
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: to them for doing it. That is a hard thing

1431
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 1: to do. Just want to believe that the Bills had

1432
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 1: their number of last night. Unfortunately it wasn't in the cards.

1433
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 1: Back with more here on one Bill's Live Stay tuned,

1434
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: a live class tasker with you. It is tough dealing

1435
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 1: with the finality of last night's game. The players are

1436
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 1: experiencing that firsthand today as they're having their exit interviews

1437
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff on locker clean out day. They're

1438
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: also being made available to the media to put a

1439
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: wrap up on their thoughts for the season. We turn

1440
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 1: now to Josh Allen, who is addressing the media now,

1441
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: Doctor Josh Mukie Hawkins. We're force force to naming man.

1442
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: How are you doing today and better? Right? Right? Hey? Listen, man,

1443
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 1: you was a dog out there and like I said,

1444
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,679
Speaker 1: your performance definitely put the world on notice to put

1445
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,080
Speaker 1: that respect on your name. Just just give us your

1446
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 1: overall assessment of last night. I mean, we didn't we

1447
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: didn't do enough so in a football game, obviously, we're

1448
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 1: we're pretty hurt in this building today. You know, we

1449
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 1: wish we were getting ready for another game. Yeah, but

1450
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it wasn't meant to be.

1451
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:13,640
Speaker 1: And we'll use this as a as knowledge as we

1452
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 1: go forward and use this as experience and let us

1453
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 1: feel the fire. Absolutely man. And each year you are

1454
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 1: getting better and better and better. What have you learned

1455
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: about yourself year four that the first three years didn't

1456
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 1: teach you? Um? Again, just new situations within games, trusting

1457
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: the guys around you, continuing to evolve, and my knowledge

1458
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,720
Speaker 1: and understanding of what defenses are trying to do and

1459
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do against me. Yeah, just uh, you know,

1460
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: finding ways to get better each and every offseason and

1461
01:19:56,680 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: working with Jordan out there in California and just trying

1462
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:03,559
Speaker 1: to hone in on all my mechanics and do everything

1463
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 1: I can I can to be the best quarterbacks and

1464
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: team that I can be for this team, absolutely man.

1465
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:14,639
Speaker 1: And closing, how will yesterday's defeat challenge you to become

1466
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 1: better next season? And again, the goal is to win

1467
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 1: a super Bowl and the mentality is super Bowl or

1468
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: bust every year that we play. That's the mentality that

1469
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: we have here. And again, um, you're not gonna be

1470
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 1: happy every year, but um, you know, we got to

1471
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: find a way to break that barrier and bring one

1472
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: home here to Buffalo. Hey man, it's been a pleasure

1473
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: each year to watch your development, watch your growth, and

1474
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: you know more in particular, just to watch how you

1475
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: play the game. Um, you know, just have a great

1476
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: offseason and you know, good luck to you, and I

1477
01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what year fives have for you,

1478
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Big Dan. Thank you. Hey Josh, it's Kim Jones. Can

1479
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: you hear me? Okay, yeah, I got you, Kim. Good

1480
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 1: to see you. Great to see you as always. Um,

1481
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 1: what is it like to have thirteen seconds change your

1482
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: entire season of god knows how many snaps and a

1483
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,719
Speaker 1: whole bunch of wins and a whole bunch of good

1484
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:15,719
Speaker 1: and thirteen seconds changes everything? Yeah, I mean it's uh,

1485
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 1: it's part of the game. Um. You know we can

1486
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 1: sit here and play the what if game, but there's

1487
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: no saying, you know, we do what what everybody's saying

1488
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,639
Speaker 1: that we should have done. And they have a chance

1489
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: for Hill Mary and who knows if they catch that

1490
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 1: or not. You know, it's, uh, you can't. You can't

1491
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 1: play that game. So you know, you live, you live

1492
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: and die by the sword. And I love our teammates,

1493
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 1: I love our coaching staff. Um No, and unfortunately it's

1494
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:46,759
Speaker 1: probably gonna be the last time that you know, every

1495
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 1: every guy in this building is going to be here.

1496
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: So it's a tough day. We understand that. Um. But

1497
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 1: again ss to next year. We got to find a

1498
01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 1: way to move for move forward, and um, like I said,

1499
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to bring one home here to

1500
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: a here Buffalo. If I could just follow up about

1501
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, how was he able to almost at times

1502
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,680
Speaker 1: take over that game? And I have to think, Josh,

1503
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:16,799
Speaker 1: that that heartens you going forward. I mean he will uncertain,

1504
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 1: he will certainly be a teammate of her years again

1505
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 1: next year, and it certainly looks like big things are

1506
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,800
Speaker 1: ahead for him. Yeah. I mean he's a guy that

1507
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 1: always does the right things. You know, Um, coming in

1508
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel real that he's only a second year

1509
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 1: guy in the league, Like it feels like he's been

1510
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: here so much longer than that. But for him to

1511
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: do that yesterday, it was unbelievable. And at the start

1512
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 1: of the season, you know, he was he was begging

1513
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,679
Speaker 1: for more opportunities, and I just told him stay the course,

1514
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what he did. He didn't complain, he

1515
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 1: didn't out, he didn't give up. He just put his

1516
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: head down and worked his ass off. And you know

1517
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: when you have guys that do the right things and

1518
01:22:55,840 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 1: continue to show up and you know, do what's necessary

1519
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 1: for team success, I eat blocking, going down and taking

1520
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:09,440
Speaker 1: the edge off and going inside and getting a linebacker

1521
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: or safety. Like guys that just do the right thing

1522
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: and they don't complain or again, that's that's typically what

1523
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 1: you're think. What you're gonna get, You're gonna have your opportunities,

1524
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:20,760
Speaker 1: and you're gonna make him because that's what type of

1525
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: player you are, and this is what type of player

1526
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:25,920
Speaker 1: he is. Josh, thank you so much for your professionalism.

1527
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate that more than you know. Thank you, appreciate you. Hey, Josh,

1528
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 1: Sean Warrell, jo how you doing. I'm good in knowing

1529
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: the competitor that you are, but also knowing where you've

1530
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 1: come from and how far you've come. Is there any

1531
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: solace in this difficult time to know that you solidified

1532
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 1: your place on the national stage as among the NFL's

1533
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:56,040
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks. You know with the season that you've had

1534
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 1: in the performance that you put forward, the you and

1535
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: the offense put forward last night. UM. I mean, at

1536
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:05,680
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, we we had

1537
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: some opportunities earlier in the game that could have helped

1538
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 1: us out. Um, maybe could have changed the game. But

1539
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 1: again that what if game is is not a game

1540
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 1: I like to play. UM. You know, we didn't do

1541
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: enough to win a game, and that's that's what it

1542
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 1: came down to. And UM, you know, but again I'm

1543
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 1: proud of our guys being down nine points in that

1544
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:29,439
Speaker 1: second half too. You know, one of the best teams

1545
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 1: in the league. You know, they've been to Fournit now

1546
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:35,720
Speaker 1: four straight conference championship games, two straight Super Bowls. Um.

1547
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: And for us to go out there and compete the

1548
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 1: way we did and battle through some adversity, UM, you know,

1549
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 1: it felt good. And again I'm proud of our teammates

1550
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 1: for for how we played. I know you addressed us

1551
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 1: last night, but is there is it almost unfair? I

1552
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: know it's the rules, but when it comes to the

1553
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 1: overtime rules, and especially with the gravity of the situation

1554
01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, UM, does seem unfair that a game

1555
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:07,480
Speaker 1: could be decided based on a simple coin toss, especially

1556
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: given this time of year. I mean, it is what

1557
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: it is. If you go back a few years ago,

1558
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: Chiefs lost in a very similar situation to the Patriots,

1559
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:21,439
Speaker 1: and I think the next year the Chiefs went on

1560
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. So and that aspect, there's

1561
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: lighted tunnel and it is what it is, you know.

1562
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: I again, I'm not wanting to try to change rules

1563
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 1: or complain about the rules. They are what they are.

1564
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, lastly, and I'm sorry here because I know

1565
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people have questions, but can you pinpoint

1566
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: one of the any of the reason that this team

1567
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: had difficulty winning one score games this year as opposed

1568
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 1: to last year when you guys were six and one.

1569
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:55,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's just the way the dice rolls in the

1570
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: game of football, deposing teams. They get paid too. But

1571
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 1: we know that's an area we have to be better in.

1572
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 1: Um and you know, I look forward to that challenge

1573
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:08,960
Speaker 1: this offseason of whether it be a mental or physical

1574
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,839
Speaker 1: type of change that we can make as a football

1575
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: team and find a way to win those games because

1576
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna need them. And again, we went a couple

1577
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 1: of those games. Maybe maybe the games that you know

1578
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 1: at Buffalo and things are different, so that there's the

1579
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,200
Speaker 1: importance of having home games and having the momentum and

1580
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: having crowd noise and all that stuff. So h just

1581
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of knowledge that we can

1582
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: take from this experience that I think is going to

1583
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: pay off in the long run. Thanks so much, Josh,

1584
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 1: and I've really appreciated your candid this season and all

1585
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,800
Speaker 1: the best to you only offseason. Thank you all. I

1586
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:48,680
Speaker 1: appreciate you, Hey, Josh, knowing how you guys ended the

1587
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: season here and knowing that you still have a lot

1588
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,719
Speaker 1: of pieces in place for next season, and the knowledge

1589
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 1: that you're going to be able to gain from this

1590
01:26:56,040 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 1: game what's in store for the offense next season. I mean, again,

1591
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,600
Speaker 1: every season is different. The type of players we have

1592
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: are different. I'm not sure who that all. I mean,

1593
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 1: that's not not my job, but um, I know that

1594
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 1: we've got guys that love each other in the stock

1595
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: room and are going to compete for each other and again,

1596
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 1: whatever happens, and that the coaching carousel of the NFL,

1597
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:23,680
Speaker 1: um you know, I think teams would be foolish not

1598
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 1: to to offer Brian Dable a job. Um. I'm praying

1599
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 1: they don't because I want him back here. Um, but

1600
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 1: I love him and his family too much, uh so

1601
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: to really think that. You know, I think he's one

1602
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: of the best coaches in the league. And I think

1603
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 1: whatever team gets him, um is gonna be lucky. Um.

1604
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 1: But whoever, like I said, whatever is in this building. Um,

1605
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 1: you know, I know we're gonna go out and compete

1606
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 1: for each other. And then you yourself, what did you

1607
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 1: prove as a quarterback in this league this season? Um,

1608
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,599
Speaker 1: That's not really up for me to decide that question.

1609
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,240
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just trying to be the best quarterback

1610
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: and teammate I can be for the Buffalo Bills. Thanks Josh,

1611
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 1: enjoyed the off season. Thank you, Maddie. Hey, Josh, it's

1612
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: Catherine from the Buffalo News. You mentioned last night how

1613
01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:20,160
Speaker 1: you guys don't like feeling like that, especially back to

1614
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: back years at the same place. Just given some of

1615
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 1: the similarities of last year in this year, what stood

1616
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 1: out to you besides the result as similar and different

1617
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 1: about the ways the year ended. Well, I mean again,

1618
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 1: we went toe to toe with them. I think if

1619
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:42,080
Speaker 1: you look at the game last year compared to this year. Again,

1620
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 1: people say it was decided by a coin flip. So

1621
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: I think we're we're we're extremely close to where we

1622
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:51,200
Speaker 1: want to be. Obviously, we want to X two better

1623
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 1: and you know, we want to win that game. But

1624
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 1: in terms to know that, this whole off season really

1625
01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 1: was geared awards, you know, trying to beat the Chiefs

1626
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:05,360
Speaker 1: and UM. Again, they they've been the sustained success the

1627
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:07,680
Speaker 1: last few years and that's that's what you want to

1628
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 1: be and that's what your your franchise wants to be. UM.

1629
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: So again, we're close, but close doesn't cut it, and

1630
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:16,720
Speaker 1: we understand that. So we got to figure out a way,

1631
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:20,439
Speaker 1: like I said, to break that barrier and UM to

1632
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 1: move on in advance and give give ourselves a chance

1633
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 1: to accomplish. Wee accomplished. When you mentioned that so much

1634
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: of the offseason was yeared around the Chiefs in particular,

1635
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:33,120
Speaker 1: did it feel like it made a difference what round

1636
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:34,880
Speaker 1: you face them in or was it just about like,

1637
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:36,680
Speaker 1: this is the team we know we need to be.

1638
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,440
Speaker 1: I think everybody knows that that that's the team they

1639
01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 1: they need to beat. UM. And again, you look at

1640
01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 1: the track record over the last few years of who's

1641
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 1: been playing in what games and they've They've been there,

1642
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 1: They've been in the AFC Championship, They've been in Super

1643
01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:53,680
Speaker 1: Bowl twice. Um, So every year you go into that

1644
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: no one that you're probably going to see them at

1645
01:29:55,920 --> 01:30:02,720
Speaker 1: one point or another in the playoffs. So again, it's

1646
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:05,160
Speaker 1: probably gonna be the same same thought for next year.

1647
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: So we gotta, like I said, whether this offseason, training camp,

1648
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff, we gotta we gotta find a way

1649
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,679
Speaker 1: to be the best versions of ourselfs and I got

1650
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:15,920
Speaker 1: no doubt that this team is willing, incapable of doing that.

1651
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:19,840
Speaker 1: And then one more and really appreciate your time. Quite

1652
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,639
Speaker 1: a few guys on this seasons, all bigger roles towards

1653
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: the end of the year, just had breakout seasons in general.

1654
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:27,320
Speaker 1: But where do you feel this offense as a whole

1655
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 1: evolved the most this season? Um? I mean, I think

1656
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:34,600
Speaker 1: if you look at the last really four and a

1657
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 1: half five and a half games that we played after

1658
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 1: that first staff from Tampa Bay, the resiliency of this team,

1659
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:44,720
Speaker 1: the camaraderie, the communication that we had with each other,

1660
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,720
Speaker 1: the trust that we had in each other. You know,

1661
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 1: it was a really really fun group to be a

1662
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 1: part of. I'm proud of our guys for going out

1663
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 1: there and competing in the way they did. You know,

1664
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 1: our offensive line motor. Um see all Gabe and Dawson

1665
01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 1: have really good years. It's young lays and that's extremely

1666
01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 1: promising for the future. And um again you bring back

1667
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:07,920
Speaker 1: pieces that we have right now. It's you know, you

1668
01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 1: can't help but get excited for the future. And I

1669
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 1: know it seems pretty bleak right now, but um, I

1670
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 1: am I'm eager. It sucks that the season's over, but um,

1671
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:20,479
Speaker 1: you know, just I'm excited for what this team is

1672
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 1: capable of. And you know, we gotta be out we

1673
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:26,560
Speaker 1: gotta be willing to go out there and um and

1674
01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 1: work hard and have a great offseason and um, trying

1675
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,280
Speaker 1: to get this thing going on next year. Thanks Josh,

1676
01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:38,800
Speaker 1: appreciate your insight. Thank Jathan Josh Jay with the Buffalo News.

1677
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're ending this season and particularly

1678
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,599
Speaker 1: what you did in the postseason maybe playing the best

1679
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:50,400
Speaker 1: football or your career right now? Oh yeah, I mean,

1680
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 1: I uh, just seeing things really well. But again, it

1681
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 1: takes takes eleven guys on that football field, So there's

1682
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:00,479
Speaker 1: five guys up front blocked extremely well. Laugh like I said,

1683
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,519
Speaker 1: five weeks, our guys made some mumblievable plays and catches.

1684
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 1: We've got the running game going. Um, you know, we

1685
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 1: were a very very phishing group and like I said,

1686
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:11,880
Speaker 1: it was a fun group to be a part of.

1687
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: And um, you know, we we were playing good ball

1688
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:18,719
Speaker 1: as a collective unit. What's that do for your confidence

1689
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:23,040
Speaker 1: when that's happening. I mean, there's just times where you

1690
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 1: feel comfortable in the pocket and you throw a ball

1691
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 1: and at times you feel like you can't miss because

1692
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 1: guys are getting open and catching the ball and making

1693
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 1: some great catches. And um, you know, we get we

1694
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 1: can we can learn from that and use that momentum

1695
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 1: going forward, and I've got no doubt that we will.

1696
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 1: You talked earlier about Brian. He's the only offensive coordinator

1697
01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:45,599
Speaker 1: you've known in the NFL. I know how close your

1698
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:49,840
Speaker 1: relationship is with him, and you know it extends much

1699
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 1: beyond what you guys are doing in the facility, and

1700
01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, a true friendship. You know, of course you

1701
01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:59,320
Speaker 1: will be happy for him, but that could represent a

1702
01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 1: major change in your career if you were to move on,

1703
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, for a for a head job. How much

1704
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:09,080
Speaker 1: have you process that and what it potentially could mean

1705
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 1: for you in your career. Yeah, I mean, it's it's

1706
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:17,120
Speaker 1: it was kind of a thought that I had last

1707
01:33:17,200 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 1: year that he was going to get a job that

1708
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:24,400
Speaker 1: didn't happen. I'm extremely fortunate that he came back. Um,

1709
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,720
Speaker 1: but again, I really haven't looked all into it all

1710
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 1: that much. But um again, I believe in the guys

1711
01:33:31,479 --> 01:33:33,559
Speaker 1: in this locker room as well, and that we're willing

1712
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:37,720
Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes to whether it's starting a

1713
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:41,360
Speaker 1: new system or you know, using the same system with

1714
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:45,400
Speaker 1: obviously a new coach. Um, you know, we just we

1715
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:48,040
Speaker 1: have to band together. And um, it's more about the

1716
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy and Joe's and the exces and os and you know,

1717
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:55,880
Speaker 1: like I said, I trust the guys in this locker room.

1718
01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:58,880
Speaker 1: All right. That's Josh Allen addressing the media here on

1719
01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 1: locker clean out day at one Bills Drive. Certainly is

1720
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 1: lamenting the fact that the group that they have will

1721
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:10,599
Speaker 1: not be able to keep playing. And everybody knows these

1722
01:34:10,680 --> 01:34:13,920
Speaker 1: rosters turn over twenty five to thirty percent year over years,

1723
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 1: so there are some faces in that locker room he

1724
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 1: knows he's not going to see in the same uniform

1725
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:20,559
Speaker 1: as him next season. We do have to take a

1726
01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 1: break here, Steve and I will be back with more,

1727
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:24,719
Speaker 1: including your phone calls and comments on the tweet sheet.

1728
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:27,360
Speaker 1: We also have Eric Wood coming up in the third

1729
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 1: hour of the program, who watched everything from the radio

1730
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:32,880
Speaker 1: broadcast moose plenty more coming your way next year on

1731
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 1: One Bills Live because anybody collot to help the Buffalo

1732
01:34:35,120 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 1: Bills break. Welcome back to One Bills Live, Chris Brown,

1733
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:51,599
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. If you wanted to get a couple of thoughts,

1734
01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:56,439
Speaker 1: tweeteet quickly to get those people that commented onto the

1735
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:58,839
Speaker 1: show here tweetchee. Brought to you by Correan Moving Systems,

1736
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:01,360
Speaker 1: Official moving Equipment, the company of the Buffalo Bills, and

1737
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:05,040
Speaker 1: JT says tackling was an issue. What happened to our

1738
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:07,599
Speaker 1: number one defense? They got torched with little check down

1739
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:11,519
Speaker 1: throws The Chiefs yards after catch was astronomical. In the

1740
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:14,559
Speaker 1: off season, I hope we pick up more speed on defense.

1741
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:18,000
Speaker 1: Amazing game one for the history books. Gabe Davis as

1742
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:21,559
Speaker 1: a monster should be wide receiver number two next year.

1743
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 1: Hard to disagree with any of that, Steve from DP.

1744
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: If a player fair catches a kickoff does the clock

1745
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:30,280
Speaker 1: run at first touch, then stop then a second runs off?

1746
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 1: What happens? No clock clock never starts right. If the

1747
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:38,559
Speaker 1: fair catches it, the clock stops. So if you kick

1748
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:40,720
Speaker 1: it deep and he fair catches it, they get the

1749
01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:42,960
Speaker 1: ball where he catches it. So if it's inside the ten,

1750
01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:49,439
Speaker 1: that's where it starts. Yeah, they listen when things go

1751
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,960
Speaker 1: like that. In thirteen seconds, more than one thing has

1752
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 1: to go wrong, and the Bills missed on all of them.

1753
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:58,160
Speaker 1: The kickoff could have been better. They could have trusted

1754
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,720
Speaker 1: their kick coverage to tackle the guy in bounds or

1755
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:03,160
Speaker 1: force him to do exactly that Fair catch it, or

1756
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:05,600
Speaker 1: run a few steps, give himself up, whatever it was

1757
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:07,519
Speaker 1: going to take. Maybe they wouldn't have gotten out to

1758
01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 1: the twenty five where they started. Anyway, the field goal

1759
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:12,240
Speaker 1: is longer at the other end, all of that stuff

1760
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:15,879
Speaker 1: playing up on him, and instead of playing soft coverage,

1761
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 1: they just needed to find a way to have them

1762
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 1: squeeze one more play, one less play out of that

1763
01:36:23,160 --> 01:36:25,680
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds. Then the Bills were able to do defensively

1764
01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 1: deploying the way they did so that last thirteen seconds

1765
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,120
Speaker 1: on a couple of things you'd like to see him

1766
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:36,719
Speaker 1: do differently, no question about it. Great time for us here.

1767
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:39,759
Speaker 1: But when we come back, we'll be joined by Bill's

1768
01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 1: radio color commentator Eric wood, who will be addressing what

1769
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:48,240
Speaker 1: happened last night in the overtime loss to Kansas City.

1770
01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:50,679
Speaker 1: He watched it all from the Arrowhead Radio Blue. Will

1771
01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 1: catch up with him next here on one Bill's Live.

1772
01:36:52,880 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 1: Because anybody collid to health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio At

1773
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker who has been all over her field.

1774
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:16,599
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

1775
01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:23,040
Speaker 1: player for you State save a blimp. We're not even

1776
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:30,840
Speaker 1: in the straded beer of normalcy. All right. Here we

1777
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 1: are our number three Chris Brown, Steve Tasker enjoined by

1778
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:37,600
Speaker 1: Bill's radio color commentator Eric Woodoo took the game in

1779
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:42,760
Speaker 1: from Arrowhood Stadium, high atop the stadium last night, and Eric,

1780
01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 1: I know you and I discussed this on the pregame

1781
01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 1: radio show, The Bills Roundtable on the Bills Radio Network,

1782
01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:52,800
Speaker 1: So I want to start there. We were anticipating a

1783
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:56,439
Speaker 1: defensive game plan in which they would not blitz Patrick Mahomes,

1784
01:37:56,439 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 1: try to keep everything in front of them, and you

1785
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:01,519
Speaker 1: astutely brought up the fact that if that is your

1786
01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:05,680
Speaker 1: game plan, you better do an excellent job tackle it.

1787
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:09,920
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, more often than not, whether it was defensive

1788
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:12,920
Speaker 1: lineman being unable to get a good grasp on Patrick

1789
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the pocket or players at the first, second,

1790
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:19,559
Speaker 1: or third levels yards after the catch were a major

1791
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:23,719
Speaker 1: issue and kept Buffalo from getting off the field defensively. Yeah,

1792
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 1: and that's kind of the deal with Kansas City is

1793
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 1: even though this year and they ran the ball effectively

1794
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:32,680
Speaker 1: against the Bills yesterday, especially with Clyde Edwards Hilaire. You

1795
01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:36,400
Speaker 1: had the jet sweeps and all that, but man, after

1796
01:38:36,479 --> 01:38:38,840
Speaker 1: that first five weeks of the season, they basically said, okay,

1797
01:38:38,840 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 1: if you're gonna play this two shell, I know last

1798
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:44,599
Speaker 1: year our defense or our plan of attack would be

1799
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 1: to run the ball up the middle, force you to

1800
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 1: bring someone else in the box. We saw that in

1801
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:51,439
Speaker 1: the regular season against the Bills last year when Clyde

1802
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:53,439
Speaker 1: Edwards Laire went for over one hundred and fifty yards.

1803
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 1: This year, it's been more bubble screens. It's those short

1804
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 1: crossing routes. It's when you play zone defense. We're gonna

1805
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 1: tack that linebacker level with our speed, and we saw

1806
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,519
Speaker 1: that on full display yesterday. And we talked about in

1807
01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:08,000
Speaker 1: the pregame as well. But since in the last six

1808
01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:10,680
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, Kansas City throws screen passes on

1809
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:13,719
Speaker 1: fourteen percent of their plays. A lot of those are bubbles.

1810
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:15,640
Speaker 1: They're not all to the running backs, although we did

1811
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:18,400
Speaker 1: see one yesterday to the running back that went for

1812
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 1: a big game. All that being said, you were going

1813
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:23,439
Speaker 1: to have to rally and tackle well against this defense.

1814
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 1: And I thought, besides Mahomes, early in the game, I

1815
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:28,960
Speaker 1: thought they did a great job of containing some of

1816
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 1: the skill position players for the Chiefs. But as the

1817
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,920
Speaker 1: game went on, and that both defenses, I think we're

1818
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:37,280
Speaker 1: fatigued by the end. Heck, we were all fatigued by

1819
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 1: the end. But the defenses showed the signs of it.

1820
01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: And that's where you really saw some big blunders on

1821
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 1: miss tackles or when you look at the Kansas City backfield,

1822
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:48,200
Speaker 1: guys getting their feet tangled up in the big plays

1823
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 1: really started happening the way this game unfolded. I mean,

1824
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:55,200
Speaker 1: what defense in the NFL, even the Bills with their

1825
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:58,560
Speaker 1: number one defense, who's stopping either one of these offenses?

1826
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 1: Not many, not many, that's for sure, Especially when the

1827
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 1: Bills played the number two defense in the league last

1828
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 1: week and just put on an absolute clinic offensively. It's

1829
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 1: an absolute shame we don't get to see Josh Allen

1830
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 1: continue on in the playoffs. Just selfishly, I'm a stack guy,

1831
01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean a most stats nowadays. Everyone will say, well,

1832
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:22,840
Speaker 1: they play seventeen games now, of course he broke these records. Well,

1833
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:25,760
Speaker 1: it's a passing league nowadays. Man, Josh Allen was on

1834
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 1: pace to just shatter some records if they could have

1835
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:30,639
Speaker 1: made it through the AC Championship into the Super Bowl

1836
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:33,519
Speaker 1: with the way he's been airing it out nine touchdown,

1837
01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:36,880
Speaker 1: zero interceptions in these last two games. So I don't

1838
01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 1: think the Bill's offense was getting slowed down by many.

1839
01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:42,559
Speaker 1: And this Chief's offense is just so tough to deal with,

1840
01:40:42,640 --> 01:40:44,719
Speaker 1: and you know they have weapons all over the field,

1841
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,720
Speaker 1: maybe the best quarterback in the NFL. But then it's

1842
01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:50,240
Speaker 1: the creativity on top of it, and so many of

1843
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:53,120
Speaker 1: the plays just makes sense too, Like you're watching it

1844
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 1: and you're like, ooh, you know the boxes light, here

1845
01:40:56,120 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 1: here comes the run. Oh you know we're we're an

1846
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:00,720
Speaker 1: off man on the out side, Well, here comes the

1847
01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:02,600
Speaker 1: bubb Well. I know a lot of that's checked with me.

1848
01:41:02,640 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 1: Stuff at the line of scrimmage. But a lot of

1849
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:06,960
Speaker 1: what they do is it's creative. But it also makes

1850
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:09,760
Speaker 1: sense some of their tight red zone plays inside the

1851
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 1: five yard line where they run that it's like a

1852
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:14,360
Speaker 1: rollout where you can either hit the guy in the flap,

1853
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:16,120
Speaker 1: but if the defense pursues with him, then you know

1854
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:18,759
Speaker 1: you got to shovel pass underneath. Thank god McKinnon dropped

1855
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:20,840
Speaker 1: the easy one yesterday or as they had another walk

1856
01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:23,080
Speaker 1: in touchdown on a shovel when you know it's coming.

1857
01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 1: Me and Murpher talking about it before the play happens.

1858
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 1: I know the Bill's defenders knew was coming. It's just

1859
01:41:27,479 --> 01:41:29,800
Speaker 1: extremely tough to stop. So to answer your question, I

1860
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:32,439
Speaker 1: don't know if any defenses were slowing these two down.

1861
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:34,720
Speaker 1: We'll see if Cincinnatis can put up a fight this

1862
01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:38,840
Speaker 1: week in Arrowhead. Yeah. So forty seven points plus thirty

1863
01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:41,280
Speaker 1: six points eighty three points for the offense the last

1864
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:44,479
Speaker 1: two weeks. So it's hard to nitpick anything on that

1865
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:46,200
Speaker 1: side of the ball. But when you look at the

1866
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:50,800
Speaker 1: final stat sheet, it is hard to look at Hill

1867
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 1: and Kelsey combined for nineteen receptions for two hundred and

1868
01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:56,880
Speaker 1: forty six yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner.

1869
01:41:57,479 --> 01:41:59,320
Speaker 1: And you look at the other side of the ledger

1870
01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:02,519
Speaker 1: and yes, Real Davis had a record setting day. But

1871
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:06,080
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs with six targets and three receptions for seven

1872
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:09,880
Speaker 1: yards and a two point conversion. I understand he was

1873
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 1: getting bracketed a good deal and double covered with safety

1874
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:17,200
Speaker 1: help over the top. But you just mentioned the creativity

1875
01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:20,559
Speaker 1: that Andy Reid has. Is it necessary to have that

1876
01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:23,840
Speaker 1: same creativity so you can allow your best player to

1877
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:27,639
Speaker 1: flourish in the receiving cords Stefan Diggs. That's a good question,

1878
01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:30,479
Speaker 1: because you know, I haven't gone back and watched the

1879
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 1: All twenty two tape to see how many times Josh

1880
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 1: Allen could have truly gone too Stefan Diggs, if it

1881
01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:37,680
Speaker 1: would have made a difference on certain plays, I know,

1882
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 1: if I'm looking at the chief secondary, you know they

1883
01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 1: were putting Ward on Diggs for a majority of the game,

1884
01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:48,160
Speaker 1: and then Lagarius Sneed was playing in the slot doing

1885
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:51,559
Speaker 1: a good job, and so you're attacking either Hughes who's

1886
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:57,800
Speaker 1: filling in for or Ray Fen, or you're attacking who's

1887
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 1: the other dude that came in. Man he came in

1888
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 1: late in the game. DeAndre Baker. Baker, Yes, Baker, So

1889
01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 1: you're attacking that guy as opposed to necessary are saying

1890
01:43:08,280 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 1: we can't get the ball to Digs. I think a

1891
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:13,080
Speaker 1: lot of the time it was hey, Dave Davis has

1892
01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:15,760
Speaker 1: got this matchup over here, or you know, you saw

1893
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:17,840
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley get involved a lot. Hey, we're gonna run

1894
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 1: some more rpo stuff than we've shown recently. Cole Beasley

1895
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:23,280
Speaker 1: is great on that rpo game. Yeah, it's hard to

1896
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 1: find fault with what the offense did yesterday. Certainly only

1897
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:29,439
Speaker 1: four plays in the third quarter was a squasher for

1898
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:32,639
Speaker 1: any momentum coming out a halftime. And give some credit

1899
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:35,880
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs. I mean they're their offense is pretty

1900
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 1: good too. So you know, when you look at this

1901
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:41,840
Speaker 1: game and how it got away from either team, the

1902
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:45,760
Speaker 1: amazing part of it is and what do you think changed.

1903
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 1: I've got my own thoughts about this. I want to

1904
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 1: hear what your thoughts are. This game was kind of

1905
01:43:50,200 --> 01:43:52,000
Speaker 1: a push and pull. The Bills were down I think

1906
01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: fourteen to twenty three at one point, and then all

1907
01:43:56,920 --> 01:44:00,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden, like the lid comes off and there's

1908
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:03,639
Speaker 1: thirty one points scored in the last five twenty two

1909
01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 1: of the game. The teams are going back and forth

1910
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,559
Speaker 1: big time. What do you think changes in those moments

1911
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:10,479
Speaker 1: when it looked like it was a little bit of

1912
01:44:10,479 --> 01:44:13,120
Speaker 1: a knockdown drag out. Certainly there were some points scored,

1913
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:17,439
Speaker 1: but you know it was what was it nine points

1914
01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:19,400
Speaker 1: in the third quarter or something scored and then they

1915
01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:21,680
Speaker 1: get finally get to the fourth quarter. What changes in

1916
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:24,799
Speaker 1: those moments where both these offenses seem to shift gears

1917
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:29,400
Speaker 1: and the defense just becomes ineffective. Well, you got two

1918
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, and when it's

1919
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:33,920
Speaker 1: crunch time, those guys are going to show up, and

1920
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:35,760
Speaker 1: they showed up in a big way. Both of them

1921
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:38,640
Speaker 1: just completely lit it up. And then I think that

1922
01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:41,240
Speaker 1: Bills offense they just I don't want to say they

1923
01:44:41,320 --> 01:44:43,559
Speaker 1: played tight early on, but Josh was doing a great

1924
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 1: job of taking what the defense was getting them. They

1925
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,599
Speaker 1: had the design runs for him, They had, I don't

1926
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,400
Speaker 1: want to say too many design runs for Singletary, just

1927
01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:54,519
Speaker 1: some ill timed And it's you're saying ill timed because

1928
01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:56,680
Speaker 1: Hindsight's twenty twenty just didn't work on a couple of

1929
01:44:56,680 --> 01:45:00,679
Speaker 1: the possessions midway through the first half. All that being said,

1930
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:04,160
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen decided, you know what, I'm gonna sit

1931
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:07,479
Speaker 1: back and rip because there were down nine in the

1932
01:45:07,520 --> 01:45:09,479
Speaker 1: second half, they're gonna continue to score, so we're just

1933
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to rip this ball. And he really put

1934
01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:14,600
Speaker 1: the team on his back, which included the start of

1935
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:18,799
Speaker 1: that was that seventy five yard touchdown. To answer your question,

1936
01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:21,080
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what changed other than the fact

1937
01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:22,680
Speaker 1: that you have two of the best quarterbacks in the

1938
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:24,640
Speaker 1: NFL with everything on the line, and I think they

1939
01:45:24,680 --> 01:45:27,720
Speaker 1: both just said, you know what, let's let lose. How

1940
01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 1: much does it depend? How much does it? Can't come

1941
01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:32,000
Speaker 1: down to the defense on both sides. I know the

1942
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,599
Speaker 1: Bills defense got gassed. They're probably in the fourth quarter.

1943
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 1: Both those teams just it seemed they seemed to run

1944
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:40,040
Speaker 1: out of fuel in the secondary and even up front.

1945
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 1: I think that had something to do with it as well,

1946
01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 1: because it seemed like a long, long night, even though

1947
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 1: that first half only took like an hour and twenty minutes. Oh,

1948
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 1: those those defenses were noticeably tired out there. You know,

1949
01:45:55,520 --> 01:45:57,800
Speaker 1: guys were taking a while to get to their feet

1950
01:45:57,840 --> 01:46:00,960
Speaker 1: and you'd see, you know, guys in pursuit just not

1951
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:05,360
Speaker 1: quite finished, and you know where you're just completely gassed

1952
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:08,080
Speaker 1: out there in the pass rush. And I kept saying

1953
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 1: that they're out on the broadcast last night, But I

1954
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 1: know this Bill's defensive lines getting more out because Mahomes

1955
01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:15,800
Speaker 1: is scrambling so long. These plays are lasting ten to

1956
01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:19,439
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds. The average NFL play last six seconds. Well,

1957
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:21,720
Speaker 1: now these plays are ten or fifteen seconds because he's

1958
01:46:21,720 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 1: scrambling around the pocket and he does a great job

1959
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 1: of using his mobility, and then you really can't blitz

1960
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 1: him because he's so good against the blitz, especially at

1961
01:46:31,200 --> 01:46:35,559
Speaker 1: home where you can check plays that you know, I

1962
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:38,080
Speaker 1: do think those defenses got gassed, and that you know

1963
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:40,880
Speaker 1: that part of the reason was Mahomes scrambling and those

1964
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:44,479
Speaker 1: plays lasting so long, over and over both offensive We're

1965
01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:46,120
Speaker 1: going up and down the field. And then when you

1966
01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:48,519
Speaker 1: look at the Chiefs, they lose Tyron Matthew early in

1967
01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:51,639
Speaker 1: the game, so their secondary got really thin with Fenton

1968
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:56,759
Speaker 1: coming into the game already out. So we talk about

1969
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:59,559
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. Everybody knows he's the fastest guy in football

1970
01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:04,120
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands, and you could pick

1971
01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 1: any kind of way you want to try to defend him,

1972
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:11,000
Speaker 1: and not too many of them work. How I asked

1973
01:47:11,240 --> 01:47:15,880
Speaker 1: Micah and Jordan's in the postgame press conference, You're a

1974
01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 1: fundamentally sound defense, but this guy is so fast that

1975
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:25,679
Speaker 1: he compromises your fundamentals, your fundamental of angle of entry,

1976
01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:31,639
Speaker 1: tackling technique, etc. Etc. Etc. Is there a viable answer

1977
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:35,559
Speaker 1: for somebody like that, aside from tackling him as soon

1978
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:37,360
Speaker 1: as he comes off the line so he can't catch

1979
01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:42,240
Speaker 1: the football. That's a great question. Well, I would say this.

1980
01:47:42,520 --> 01:47:44,240
Speaker 1: I think in the first matchup that year, they did

1981
01:47:44,240 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 1: a great job of when he was lined up in

1982
01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:49,280
Speaker 1: the slot, they would jam him, disrupt that timing. The

1983
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:51,320
Speaker 1: pass rush was a little bit more effective in the

1984
01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 1: first game against the Chiefs, and I'll say maybe that

1985
01:47:54,520 --> 01:47:58,880
Speaker 1: was not necessarily even the offensive line Mahomes just did

1986
01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 1: a much better job of scrambling and taking guards down

1987
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 1: the field. You'll see that more often in the playoffs,

1988
01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 1: where quarterbacks are willing to lay it on the line

1989
01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 1: with their bodies a little bit more. All that being said,

1990
01:48:08,560 --> 01:48:11,360
Speaker 1: you got to either be extremely sound in your zone

1991
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 1: defense and understand that if he does catch it, we

1992
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 1: need a rally and tackle him, and it's a little

1993
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:18,400
Speaker 1: different angles. I mean, he ran away from Poyer and

1994
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:21,320
Speaker 1: Hyde who weren't in bad position on the crossing route

1995
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter that went to the house.

1996
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:26,759
Speaker 1: I mean, he just you have to take a different

1997
01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:28,680
Speaker 1: angle with a guy like that. It just kind of

1998
01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 1: blows all all of your muscle memory because he's a

1999
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:34,479
Speaker 1: different type of player, and I think with a guy

2000
01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 1: like that, you've got to be physical with him at

2001
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:37,960
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Andy Reid did a good job

2002
01:48:37,960 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 1: of moving him around to make that more difficult because

2003
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:41,920
Speaker 1: they knew that was going to be the case. They

2004
01:48:41,920 --> 01:48:44,320
Speaker 1: did the same exact thing with Kelsey in the first half.

2005
01:48:44,320 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 1: I felt like almost every single play they were moving

2006
01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 1: Kelsey so that they couldn't do the same approach of

2007
01:48:49,360 --> 01:48:51,120
Speaker 1: putting Siran Neil over the top of him and just

2008
01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:53,080
Speaker 1: jamming him straight up at the line of scrimmage or

2009
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:56,120
Speaker 1: lining up in line and having either Jerry or Mario

2010
01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:58,559
Speaker 1: or whoever's that defensive end jammed him at the line

2011
01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:02,000
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. So, I mean, he's one of the best

2012
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:05,360
Speaker 1: players in football, and so you understand that he's going

2013
01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:07,760
Speaker 1: to get his and they did a great job. I mean,

2014
01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:09,880
Speaker 1: when he had that sixty four yard touchdown, he essentially

2015
01:49:09,960 --> 01:49:12,120
Speaker 1: doubled his production in the game. They were holding him

2016
01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:15,519
Speaker 1: in check to that point. You just can't let those

2017
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:19,800
Speaker 1: big plays happen. And it happened in the worst moments. Yeah,

2018
01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:23,240
Speaker 1: and it's true that. And I thought that sixty four

2019
01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. Brownie and I had this conversation that might

2020
01:49:26,120 --> 01:49:29,200
Speaker 1: have gotten into the mindset of Leslie Fraser and the

2021
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:31,559
Speaker 1: defensive staff when they come back out for that thirteen

2022
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:36,280
Speaker 1: second series, they're saying, listen, we just got he just

2023
01:49:36,320 --> 01:49:38,720
Speaker 1: snapped off a sixty four yard or like nothing. We

2024
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:40,760
Speaker 1: caught it like five yards down the field or ten

2025
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:43,120
Speaker 1: yards down the field, and we couldn't. You know, we

2026
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:46,400
Speaker 1: can't let that happen again, So let's back off and

2027
01:49:46,479 --> 01:49:48,880
Speaker 1: let him. I think that really played into the strategy

2028
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:52,839
Speaker 1: at the end that backfired on him. Man, I agree.

2029
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:55,800
Speaker 1: And it's so easy to you know that the whole

2030
01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:58,200
Speaker 1: deal could have been so much different, So easy to

2031
01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:00,000
Speaker 1: look back now and say, Man, they should have squibbed,

2032
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 1: did or pooched if they should have held guys the

2033
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 1: line of scrim AND's just to hold them up. There's

2034
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:07,200
Speaker 1: only thirteen seconds, get the defensive holding calls, and let

2035
01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:09,960
Speaker 1: that clock keep running. It's so easy to play now.

2036
01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:12,679
Speaker 1: But man, I just thought I thought the number thirteen

2037
01:50:12,760 --> 01:50:15,360
Speaker 1: was going to be so significant to us. The fourth

2038
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:17,960
Speaker 1: and thirteen touchdown, that's all we're gonna talk about. Fourth

2039
01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:21,599
Speaker 1: and thirteen. Instead, thirteen is now associated with the seconds

2040
01:50:21,640 --> 01:50:24,000
Speaker 1: left that they go down and make the game tying

2041
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:27,240
Speaker 1: field goal. And man, I'm telling you, I was crushed

2042
01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:29,360
Speaker 1: last night and I texted a number of the players

2043
01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:32,720
Speaker 1: and coaches and just said, this morning, I kind of

2044
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:35,320
Speaker 1: let it cool off, and I said, the way I feel,

2045
01:50:35,360 --> 01:50:38,800
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine how that locker room fell out to

2046
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:41,240
Speaker 1: the game and feel us today, you know, and then said,

2047
01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:46,160
Speaker 1: you know, my compliments to them on their coaching or

2048
01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 1: playing or whatever it may be, but I can't even

2049
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:51,400
Speaker 1: imagine it. I mean, Steve, I know that the fact

2050
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 1: that you all and it was in the Four Falls

2051
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 1: of Buffalo you guys talked about it. But the way

2052
01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:57,040
Speaker 1: you guys were able to get back off the mat

2053
01:50:57,080 --> 01:51:00,000
Speaker 1: four different times, especially losing the first one the way

2054
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:01,800
Speaker 1: you did, because I heard you talking about it on

2055
01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:04,639
Speaker 1: the postgame show last night. Losing blowouts is so much

2056
01:51:04,680 --> 01:51:08,719
Speaker 1: easier than losing these tight games. And yes, it sucked

2057
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:11,920
Speaker 1: when we lost in the playoffs twenty eighteen playoffs the

2058
01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:14,360
Speaker 1: twenty seventeenth season, but I don't know that I could

2059
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 1: even say, looking back now that at the time I

2060
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 1: thought we had a super Bowl winning team. I'm just

2061
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:22,400
Speaker 1: being brutally honest. Right. It sucks so bad right now

2062
01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:25,080
Speaker 1: because you know that this Buffalo team could have won

2063
01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:27,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and had they won yesterday, they likely

2064
01:51:27,400 --> 01:51:31,840
Speaker 1: were the Super Bowl favorites. Yeah, And talking to some

2065
01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:34,519
Speaker 1: co workers in this hotel last night after the game,

2066
01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:38,839
Speaker 1: and even some Bills fans that were lingering here they were,

2067
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:42,160
Speaker 1: they said, this one hurt more than last year, I

2068
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:45,320
Speaker 1: think because everybody recognized the Bills and the Chiefs as

2069
01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:47,760
Speaker 1: the two best teams, maybe in the entire league, not

2070
01:51:47,880 --> 01:51:52,280
Speaker 1: just the AFC. And the familiar refrain that I kept

2071
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 1: hearing last night was it felt like we lost the

2072
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl today, which is so weird to say because

2073
01:51:59,360 --> 01:52:01,720
Speaker 1: you're not even in the Final four yet, you didn't

2074
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:03,479
Speaker 1: even get as far as you did last year, and

2075
01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:07,760
Speaker 1: yet this one, for some reason is more painful. And

2076
01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:09,680
Speaker 1: I think it's because a lot of people were of

2077
01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:12,960
Speaker 1: the opinion Eric that okay, you know, last year, get

2078
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:16,920
Speaker 1: burst onto the scene. You're surprising people. Now we know

2079
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,400
Speaker 1: what it's like to get there. This is the go

2080
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:21,720
Speaker 1: for it year, this is the year they're going all

2081
01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:25,240
Speaker 1: the way. And to come up short, I think left

2082
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:29,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people in shock. Quite frankly, I don't

2083
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:31,479
Speaker 1: know if you feel differently, No, you're you're one hundred

2084
01:52:31,479 --> 01:52:33,960
Speaker 1: percent right. And as soon as the Bengals were able

2085
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,400
Speaker 1: to win in Tennessee and there was going to be

2086
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 1: the opportunity for us, that made it worse. A full

2087
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 1: stadium in Orchard Park. You know, last year was just

2088
01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:43,599
Speaker 1: such a goofy year too, because even in the playoffs

2089
01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:45,920
Speaker 1: you only have sixty five hundred fans there. It's just

2090
01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:49,400
Speaker 1: not that same feeling. I mean, those last four games

2091
01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:51,280
Speaker 1: of the season, really four and a half games, including

2092
01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:53,479
Speaker 1: the second half of the Tampa Bay game, were so

2093
01:52:53,560 --> 01:52:55,720
Speaker 1: much fun to call them, be a part of, so

2094
01:52:55,800 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 1: much fun, to be a fan for so much fun

2095
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:00,360
Speaker 1: for these players. Then you go in Smoke, New England

2096
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:02,479
Speaker 1: and it's it was literally some of the most fun

2097
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 1: times I've ever had around football. And then in your mind,

2098
01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:07,439
Speaker 1: and I'm sure in the player's mind and the coach's

2099
01:53:07,439 --> 01:53:10,360
Speaker 1: minds and the front office and ownership. Man, how special

2100
01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:12,160
Speaker 1: is it going to be when we host this game

2101
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:15,280
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park next week? And when you have that feeling.

2102
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:18,320
Speaker 1: And I mean the Bengals have Joe Burrow, they have

2103
01:53:18,479 --> 01:53:21,599
Speaker 1: unbelievable skill position players. But I don't think I mean,

2104
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:23,559
Speaker 1: I saw it's a seven and a half point spread

2105
01:53:24,080 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs over the Bengals. I would imagine it would have

2106
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:28,439
Speaker 1: been about the same. You know those games. I'm not

2107
01:53:28,479 --> 01:53:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to put a percentage on it,

2108
01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:32,599
Speaker 1: but you're you're likely going on to the super Bowl

2109
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:34,960
Speaker 1: if you won yesterday. And so that's where that game

2110
01:53:35,439 --> 01:53:39,120
Speaker 1: was so big. And you beat them in the regular

2111
01:53:39,120 --> 01:53:43,559
Speaker 1: season by eighteen points, So it wasn't this unbeatable you

2112
01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:46,240
Speaker 1: know force you're going up against like you built your

2113
01:53:46,240 --> 01:53:48,479
Speaker 1: team to play against. This team. Now I understand you're

2114
01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:50,600
Speaker 1: all pro cornerbacks out of the game, which is a

2115
01:53:50,640 --> 01:53:53,240
Speaker 1: big piece of this team. You built to beat a

2116
01:53:53,240 --> 01:53:55,599
Speaker 1: team like the Chiefs. But when you come up short

2117
01:53:55,600 --> 01:53:58,280
Speaker 1: in the way they did and just in crushing fast,

2118
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean we score to go up the last two

2119
01:54:01,360 --> 01:54:04,479
Speaker 1: touchdowns the Bills through I was jumping up and down

2120
01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:06,760
Speaker 1: in the box. I mean, I was like a little

2121
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:08,920
Speaker 1: kid up there. I mean it was so much fun,

2122
01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:12,240
Speaker 1: and you just have those those thoughts of man, this

2123
01:54:12,320 --> 01:54:14,360
Speaker 1: is going to be a really good week in Buffalo.

2124
01:54:14,479 --> 01:54:17,200
Speaker 1: I've maintained this, I've said it since for a year

2125
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:20,479
Speaker 1: to a year today, that the Bills were good enough

2126
01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:22,479
Speaker 1: to get there last year, but you gotta play well

2127
01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:24,360
Speaker 1: on game day. If the Bills play their game on

2128
01:54:24,479 --> 01:54:26,559
Speaker 1: game day a year ago in the AFC Championship, they

2129
01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:29,920
Speaker 1: were in that Super Bowl against Tampa Bay last night

2130
01:54:30,120 --> 01:54:32,760
Speaker 1: proof positive that they've got the horses to get and

2131
01:54:33,280 --> 01:54:36,040
Speaker 1: go and play with anybody ever. That they proved it

2132
01:54:36,120 --> 01:54:38,800
Speaker 1: last week against New England, for goodness sakes, a number

2133
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:41,120
Speaker 1: two defense in the league and hanging forty six on

2134
01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:45,760
Speaker 1: them us. So the thing is, and the real crusher

2135
01:54:45,800 --> 01:54:50,600
Speaker 1: of the whole thing is that chance is gone. Now

2136
01:54:50,640 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 1: you got to start from scratch, go back to free agency,

2137
01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:57,800
Speaker 1: the draft and training camp and OTAs and you got

2138
01:54:57,800 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 1: to start. You're back to the boy them of the Mountain.

2139
01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:03,000
Speaker 1: And that's that was the crusher for us after Super

2140
01:55:03,040 --> 01:55:05,360
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty five is the crusher after them last year

2141
01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:08,040
Speaker 1: where Steph is stuck there looking at watching those guys

2142
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 1: celebrate in the ABC Championship. You're right back to the

2143
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:12,840
Speaker 1: bottom of the heat and you're zero and zero, and

2144
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:14,680
Speaker 1: all the good things you did this year, and all

2145
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:18,960
Speaker 1: the guys who emerged and started to develop, they don't

2146
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:21,200
Speaker 1: get to go any further. And that's that's the crushing

2147
01:55:21,240 --> 01:55:25,800
Speaker 1: blow of it. Yeah, because internally you feel like, Okay, well,

2148
01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:28,160
Speaker 1: let's get this offseason going, and then let's search fast

2149
01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:30,680
Speaker 1: forward right back to that same spot, like what can

2150
01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 1: we do to get better to get right back to

2151
01:55:32,480 --> 01:55:36,040
Speaker 1: that exact same spot. We'll shoot with. Four weeks ago

2152
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:38,160
Speaker 1: in the season, the Bills were in second place of

2153
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:40,720
Speaker 1: the division. You know, we weren't even sure you know,

2154
01:55:40,760 --> 01:55:42,400
Speaker 1: where they're gonna be seated if they were going to

2155
01:55:42,440 --> 01:55:45,960
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs. So, yeah, to your point, that's

2156
01:55:45,960 --> 01:55:48,560
Speaker 1: the hardest part. I would imagine. It's funny. I never

2157
01:55:48,600 --> 01:55:51,280
Speaker 1: would take time off after the season because until my

2158
01:55:51,360 --> 01:55:53,400
Speaker 1: last year and then I had my career any injury,

2159
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:58,160
Speaker 1: we never made the playoffs. And so to me, you know,

2160
01:55:58,240 --> 01:56:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm so ticked off watching playoff. I'm like, man, I'm

2161
01:56:00,600 --> 01:56:02,520
Speaker 1: just gonna train through this. I'd rather stay in shape

2162
01:56:02,520 --> 01:56:04,600
Speaker 1: than get in shape, so I'll just stay in shape

2163
01:56:04,600 --> 01:56:07,560
Speaker 1: all year round, and that's kind of how I'm wired anyways.

2164
01:56:08,080 --> 01:56:11,000
Speaker 1: But if I'm losing the fashion that that happened yesterday,

2165
01:56:11,280 --> 01:56:14,680
Speaker 1: like I need a week or two, Like, not in Buffalo,

2166
01:56:14,720 --> 01:56:17,840
Speaker 1: and not even where I'm from, because as many text

2167
01:56:17,880 --> 01:56:20,240
Speaker 1: and cosses I've gotten in the past two days from

2168
01:56:20,640 --> 01:56:23,240
Speaker 1: Bengals fans, initially because I'm from Cincinnati, saying hey, We're

2169
01:56:23,280 --> 01:56:26,480
Speaker 1: gonna see you in Buffalo, till last night calling the

2170
01:56:26,520 --> 01:56:28,960
Speaker 1: game and afterwards in this morning, I cannot imagine what

2171
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:31,440
Speaker 1: these players are going through and how many people are

2172
01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:34,240
Speaker 1: reaching out to them, and just you want to be

2173
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:36,240
Speaker 1: done with it for a second, and you gotta get

2174
01:56:36,320 --> 01:56:38,600
Speaker 1: recharged to be able to run it back again. I mean,

2175
01:56:38,840 --> 01:56:42,920
Speaker 1: there's a reason that what's the percentage of Super Bowl

2176
01:56:43,080 --> 01:56:45,040
Speaker 1: runner ups that make the playoffs the next year? It's

2177
01:56:45,040 --> 01:56:47,720
Speaker 1: like less than fifty percent, isn't it right, I don't

2178
01:56:47,720 --> 01:56:49,920
Speaker 1: know off the top of my head, it's high. Yeah,

2179
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:53,440
Speaker 1: And that's because it's so deflating and crushing. Yeah, And

2180
01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was difficult for a lot of Bills

2181
01:56:55,880 --> 01:56:58,120
Speaker 1: fans to get themselves out of bed and go to

2182
01:56:58,240 --> 01:57:02,000
Speaker 1: work today. And I get why. Eric, thanks for the time,

2183
01:57:02,200 --> 01:57:04,880
Speaker 1: especially all season long with your insight on what you

2184
01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:07,200
Speaker 1: saw on the field from the radio booth. We appreciate it.

2185

Speaker 1: We'll be sure to catch up with you here in

2186
01:57:10,080 --> 01:57:13,240
Speaker 1: an offseason that began a little too soon. Thanks very much. No,

2187
01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:15,040
Speaker 1: my pleasure has been fun all year. Let's do it

2188

Speaker 1: again soon. We'll catch up during the playoffs at some point.

2189
01:57:17,400 --> 01:57:20,839
Speaker 1: And Brownie I was really looking forward to our special

2191
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:26,560
Speaker 1: Championship keep getting a little bit longer each week. It

2192
01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:29,160
Speaker 1: was funnier. That was keeping getting longer and longer. Now

2193
01:57:29,600 --> 01:57:32,000
Speaker 1: we got a week up next week, so thanks again, Eric,

01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:17,760
Speaker 1: the media. Up now is Gabriel Davis, he of the

2205
01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:22,080
Speaker 1: two hundred one yard receiving performance along with four touchdowns,

2206
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:25,480
Speaker 1: an NFL record in a playoff game. Here is Gaye.

2207
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:28,640
Speaker 1: I just wonder, when you look back, you know, so

2208
01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:33,360
Speaker 1: freshly on last night, how do you describe that performance

2209
01:58:33,400 --> 01:58:38,800
Speaker 1: and the opportunities you had to have that performance? You know,

2210
01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:41,280
Speaker 1: I just can't do nothing but thank God for the

2211
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:44,920
Speaker 1: opportunities that I had that I was And you know,

2212
01:58:44,920 --> 01:58:46,800
Speaker 1: whenever any of our numbers are called, we have to

2213
01:58:46,840 --> 01:58:49,120
Speaker 1: make the play. And looking my number is called, a

2214
01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:51,400
Speaker 1: lot of nuns even make the play. Coming to me,

2215
01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:55,440
Speaker 1: how did you stay so patient, seemingly I'm not in

2216
01:58:55,440 --> 01:58:57,720
Speaker 1: the locker room obviously, and I'm not in Buffalo every

2217
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:01,120
Speaker 1: day either, But how did you seemingly stay so patient

2218
01:59:01,520 --> 01:59:04,400
Speaker 1: and mature through a process where you're still a young

2219
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:07,600
Speaker 1: guy getting to know this league and sometimes you're playing

2220
01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:10,760
Speaker 1: a much smaller number of snaps and then other times

2221
01:59:10,800 --> 01:59:15,000
Speaker 1: you're you're obviously in a showcased role. Yeah, it was

2222
01:59:15,040 --> 01:59:19,600
Speaker 1: definitely a little challenge for me this year to not

2223
01:59:19,680 --> 01:59:21,520
Speaker 1: be able to play as my stuff. I should have,

2224
01:59:21,960 --> 01:59:23,640
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, had all worked

2225
01:59:23,640 --> 01:59:27,200
Speaker 1: out the way you should have. And I'm happy I

2226
01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:28,760
Speaker 1: was able to go out there last time and show what.

2227
01:59:31,200 --> 01:59:33,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. I look forward to talking to you in

2228
01:59:33,120 --> 01:59:38,200
Speaker 1: the spring. Thank you, Thank you. I gave This is

2229
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:41,040
Speaker 1: Jay with the Buffalo News to build off that last

2230
01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:44,680
Speaker 1: answer there, you mentioned maybe at times feeling like you

2231
01:59:44,720 --> 01:59:47,280
Speaker 1: should have been playing more when you did get the

2232
01:59:47,320 --> 01:59:51,160
Speaker 1: opportunities and produced the way that you did. What do

2233
01:59:51,240 --> 01:59:55,520
Speaker 1: you feel like that says about your readiness for a

2234
01:59:55,640 --> 01:59:59,800
Speaker 1: more consistent, expanded role next year. Yeah, it is hard

2235
01:59:59,800 --> 02:00:03,440
Speaker 1: for guys not not play as much but then also

2236
02:00:04,520 --> 02:00:06,000
Speaker 1: have to go on there and when the team needs

2237
02:00:06,040 --> 02:00:07,400
Speaker 1: you to make a play all of a sudden. And

2238
02:00:07,760 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 1: there's a couple of guys that I put in that

2239
02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:12,520
Speaker 1: situation last year this past year and we were able

2240
02:00:12,560 --> 02:00:15,200
Speaker 1: to execute every single time. So that shows how strong

2241
02:00:15,240 --> 02:00:17,720
Speaker 1: of the group we have. And um, how was it

2242
02:00:17,960 --> 02:00:21,640
Speaker 1: this team is? What do you feel like you need

2243
02:00:21,680 --> 02:00:26,160
Speaker 1: to do this offseason to continue to build on what

2244
02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:28,680
Speaker 1: you were able to accomplish both last night and really

2245
02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:32,120
Speaker 1: toward toward the second half of this past season. Yeah,

2246
02:00:32,240 --> 02:00:34,280
Speaker 1: just just just get better at everything when it comes

2247
02:00:34,280 --> 02:00:39,000
Speaker 1: to being a receiver. Um, just work all around on again,

2248
02:00:39,040 --> 02:00:40,680
Speaker 1: Like I said, everything, there's a lot of work that

2249
02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:42,480
Speaker 1: still needs to be done. I'm a young player in

2250
02:00:42,480 --> 02:00:45,040
Speaker 1: this league and hope to play a lot of years

2251
02:00:45,440 --> 02:00:48,120
Speaker 1: and just don't have to keep keep the same mindset

2252
02:00:48,160 --> 02:00:50,680
Speaker 1: of just how it was my first year coming in.

2253
02:00:52,320 --> 02:00:54,240
Speaker 1: How much do you feel like you improve from year

2254
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:57,600
Speaker 1: one to year two? Even knowing at the beginning of

2255
02:00:57,680 --> 02:00:59,680
Speaker 1: your two you you know, as we've talked about, the

2256
02:00:59,680 --> 02:01:02,120
Speaker 1: playing time wasn't always what you wanted it to be.

2257
02:01:02,200 --> 02:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Do you still feel like even if you weren't on

2258
02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:08,560
Speaker 1: the field in terms of your practice, habits, film, you know, workouts,

2259
02:01:08,640 --> 02:01:09,960
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, do you feel like there was

2260
02:01:10,000 --> 02:01:13,400
Speaker 1: big improvements that were made? Yeah, there were big improvements. Um,

2261
02:01:13,520 --> 02:01:15,280
Speaker 1: I watched film on me my first year for my

2262
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:16,520
Speaker 1: second year, and it was a it was a big

2263
02:01:16,600 --> 02:01:18,000
Speaker 1: leap when it came to how I played on the

2264
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:20,320
Speaker 1: field and how I understood the game why the game

2265
02:01:20,360 --> 02:01:22,520
Speaker 1: started to slow down. So definitely there was a big

2266
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:26,520
Speaker 1: jump there. Hey, dabe, it's Catherine from the Buffalo News.

2267
02:01:26,880 --> 02:01:29,080
Speaker 1: Hope you can hear me. Okay, to follow up on that,

2268
02:01:29,160 --> 02:01:32,080
Speaker 1: just where on the field could you see that big

2269
02:01:32,160 --> 02:01:38,120
Speaker 1: leap most tangibly. Um, I feel like it. I feel

2270
02:01:38,120 --> 02:01:40,320
Speaker 1: like it comes. It's kind of all around. I mean,

2271
02:01:40,360 --> 02:01:43,280
Speaker 1: whether if it's whether it's making big play down the field, um,

2272
02:01:43,400 --> 02:01:45,640
Speaker 1: getting the first down or making a big block to

2273
02:01:45,640 --> 02:01:47,920
Speaker 1: seal a touchdown. M. I feel like you can see

2274
02:01:48,200 --> 02:01:50,640
Speaker 1: see it through you know, Happs in my game, no

2275
02:01:50,680 --> 02:01:53,920
Speaker 1: matter what I'm doing out there, are you able to

2276
02:01:53,960 --> 02:01:57,000
Speaker 1: tell us now that the season's over, what Emmanuel Sanders

2277
02:01:57,040 --> 02:02:00,800
Speaker 1: pointed out to you to help you jump your game? Um,

2278
02:02:02,840 --> 02:02:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. He just you know, he just helped me.

2279
02:02:05,080 --> 02:02:06,640
Speaker 1: M taught me ways on how to get off the

2280
02:02:06,680 --> 02:02:08,920
Speaker 1: ball quicker, to be able to get down the field

2281
02:02:08,920 --> 02:02:11,800
Speaker 1: faster and be able to help Josh be able to

2282
02:02:11,800 --> 02:02:13,960
Speaker 1: read us a little bit easier. That was a big

2283
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:16,040
Speaker 1: thing for me that helped me out, just how to

2284
02:02:16,080 --> 02:02:22,520
Speaker 1: get off the ball faster. Appreciate it, Yeah, he gave.

2285
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:25,080
Speaker 1: I know that there's a lot stilled up the process

2286
02:02:25,120 --> 02:02:27,600
Speaker 1: from last night. So, but when you look at your

2287
02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:30,080
Speaker 1: second season with the Bills last year came in with

2288
02:02:30,120 --> 02:02:33,280
Speaker 1: a rookie. As a rookie obviously, but the team overall,

2289
02:02:33,400 --> 02:02:37,120
Speaker 1: just how do you encapsulate everything that played out for

2290
02:02:37,160 --> 02:02:39,520
Speaker 1: you guys this season and just how it all played

2291
02:02:39,520 --> 02:02:42,680
Speaker 1: out through the throughout the year. Yeah, there's definitely a

2292
02:02:42,720 --> 02:02:44,280
Speaker 1: lot of ups and downs in this season. I know

2293
02:02:44,320 --> 02:02:46,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people counted us out early, but you know,

2294
02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:49,840
Speaker 1: we just kept fighting. We have a really Brazilian team

2295
02:02:49,840 --> 02:02:51,440
Speaker 1: and we want to win, and we want to have

2296
02:02:51,480 --> 02:02:53,880
Speaker 1: a strong bond, and we want to play together and

2297
02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:55,960
Speaker 1: we do it for each other, and that's what we

2298
02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:58,480
Speaker 1: were fighting for, especially the last past four weeks. We

2299
02:02:58,480 --> 02:03:00,600
Speaker 1: were trying from the point that we should you know,

2300
02:03:00,680 --> 02:03:02,800
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs, and we know how good of

2301
02:03:02,880 --> 02:03:04,720
Speaker 1: a team we are. And you know, he didn't turn

2302
02:03:04,800 --> 02:03:07,320
Speaker 1: out the way you wanted to turn out, but you know,

2303
02:03:07,560 --> 02:03:10,360
Speaker 1: I would do it all with this team again. And

2304
02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:13,200
Speaker 1: last year you had year one with Josh Allen and

2305
02:03:13,240 --> 02:03:15,560
Speaker 1: that year was kind of his breakout year in the NFL.

2306
02:03:15,600 --> 02:03:18,600
Speaker 1: And this year there were some people that wouldn't question

2307
02:03:18,760 --> 02:03:20,400
Speaker 1: is to whether or not that was just a flash

2308
02:03:20,400 --> 02:03:23,280
Speaker 1: in the pan for Josh. But how would you feel

2309
02:03:23,840 --> 02:03:26,080
Speaker 1: or say to any of the people that doubted Josh

2310
02:03:26,120 --> 02:03:28,960
Speaker 1: Allen heading into this year and just kind of what

2311
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:33,000
Speaker 1: you thought of his twenty twenty one season overall? Yeah,

2312
02:03:33,080 --> 02:03:35,760
Speaker 1: I mean Joss as a natural board competitor. He wants

2313
02:03:35,760 --> 02:03:38,760
Speaker 1: to win and you see it every single every single weekend.

2314
02:03:39,360 --> 02:03:41,480
Speaker 1: And you know what he did last night is no surprise.

2315
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:43,160
Speaker 1: I mean the week prior to that, you know again,

2316
02:03:43,240 --> 02:03:45,800
Speaker 1: we had essentially a perfect game when it came to

2317
02:03:45,800 --> 02:03:47,520
Speaker 1: scoring on every single drive. And that's the type of

2318
02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:50,360
Speaker 1: leader that you want to leading your offense. And you know,

2319
02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:51,960
Speaker 1: I got all my faith in Jesse. He's the best

2320
02:03:52,040 --> 02:03:54,320
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. And you know I'll be by

2321
02:03:54,320 --> 02:04:00,840
Speaker 1: a side no matter what. Thanks, Gay and Gabe. Can

2322
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:02,920
Speaker 1: you speak on the brotherhood in the locker room, in

2323
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:05,760
Speaker 1: the bond that you guys all share. Yeah, I feel

2324
02:04:05,760 --> 02:04:09,200
Speaker 1: like it's a tightening group. Everybody's good with each other

2325
02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:12,760
Speaker 1: that offensive you decide we all communicate with each other

2326
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:14,720
Speaker 1: to some team where you know, it's not like that,

2327
02:04:15,240 --> 02:04:17,000
Speaker 1: and we all just want to win for each other

2328
02:04:17,080 --> 02:04:18,840
Speaker 1: more than anything. And when you have a team that

2329
02:04:18,920 --> 02:04:21,640
Speaker 1: wants to, you know, perform for the brother next to him,

2330
02:04:21,920 --> 02:04:24,400
Speaker 1: it's really dangerous to him to be to go against.

2331
02:04:24,760 --> 02:04:27,320
Speaker 1: I feel like that's that's why that's how strong it's Buffalo.

2332
02:04:27,320 --> 02:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Best team is all right, a solid locker room as

2333
02:04:32,240 --> 02:04:34,880
Speaker 1: we know and should be solid going forward. There's certainly

2334
02:04:34,920 --> 02:04:38,760
Speaker 1: a foundation there to continue to be a perennial contender,

2335
02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:42,760
Speaker 1: even with the anticipated turnover that every roster experiences in

2336
02:04:42,840 --> 02:04:45,200
Speaker 1: the offseason each and every year. We do want to

2337
02:04:45,240 --> 02:04:47,200
Speaker 1: get to the phone squeeze in a few more phone

2338
02:04:47,200 --> 02:04:50,200
Speaker 1: calls here for some people who have been waiting patiently,

2339
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:52,800
Speaker 1: and we lead off with Tom and Tonawanda, what do

2340
02:04:52,800 --> 02:05:00,320
Speaker 1: you got for us? Tommy're on one Bill's lives. I

2341
02:05:00,360 --> 02:05:06,560
Speaker 1: remember watching Josh Allen playing the Senior Bowl, and that

2342
02:05:06,680 --> 02:05:09,440
Speaker 1: year a lot of quarterbacks, a lot of players wouldn't call,

2343
02:05:09,800 --> 02:05:13,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't go to the games, and Josh not only who

2344
02:05:13,080 --> 02:05:16,720
Speaker 1: was scheduled to play the second quarter, and he ended

2345
02:05:16,880 --> 02:05:23,520
Speaker 1: up coming back, and everybody said after that he's going

2346
02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:28,480
Speaker 1: to be a work in progress. And his accuracy wasn't

2347
02:05:28,480 --> 02:05:32,520
Speaker 1: that great, his footwork wasn't that great. Josh has worked

2348
02:05:32,640 --> 02:05:36,880
Speaker 1: on it. But my one question for you guys is,

2349
02:05:38,600 --> 02:05:43,000
Speaker 1: in today's free agency and the seller happy issues, how

2350
02:05:43,080 --> 02:05:47,040
Speaker 1: much longer do you think the Bill's window of opportunity

2351
02:05:47,200 --> 02:05:51,120
Speaker 1: is open. I'm gonna hang up and just listen. Yeah,

2352
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:53,520
Speaker 1: that's fine. I mean I think it's as long as

2353
02:05:53,560 --> 02:05:56,200
Speaker 1: he's the quarterback here I mean, there's no reason to

2354
02:05:56,240 --> 02:05:58,960
Speaker 1: think that Brandon Bean isn't going to surround him with

2355
02:05:59,080 --> 02:06:03,360
Speaker 1: the necessary piece is to keep them a perennial contender.

2356
02:06:03,400 --> 02:06:06,120
Speaker 1: That was the vision when being in mcdermock gott hired.

2357
02:06:06,600 --> 02:06:09,120
Speaker 1: And I think the team is well positioned. Are there

2358
02:06:09,120 --> 02:06:11,240
Speaker 1: going to be changes yet? Our older player is going

2359
02:06:11,280 --> 02:06:14,320
Speaker 1: to be, you know, replaced by younger players. Yeah, that's

2360
02:06:14,320 --> 02:06:16,960
Speaker 1: how it works in the NFL. But Steve, I know

2361
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:18,520
Speaker 1: you probably feel the same way. As long as you

2362
02:06:18,560 --> 02:06:21,200
Speaker 1: get Alan, you got a chance. Yeah, it's open indefinitely,

2363
02:06:21,240 --> 02:06:24,000
Speaker 1: as long as Josh is pulling the trigger. And this

2364
02:06:24,360 --> 02:06:26,880
Speaker 1: front office, I mean they in some ways they got

2365
02:06:26,920 --> 02:06:30,040
Speaker 1: better from a year ago. And I think the thing

2366
02:06:30,080 --> 02:06:34,160
Speaker 1: that gets unnoticed about the Bills is the fact that

2367
02:06:35,520 --> 02:06:37,920
Speaker 1: they attack it on all fronts all the time. If

2368
02:06:37,960 --> 02:06:40,160
Speaker 1: they can get better at any position, they do it,

2369
02:06:40,320 --> 02:06:44,920
Speaker 1: running back, linebacker, corner, you name it. And I think

2370
02:06:44,960 --> 02:06:46,680
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that has set them apart.

2371
02:06:46,720 --> 02:06:48,200
Speaker 1: You see other teams, and I know it's been this

2372
02:06:48,240 --> 02:06:50,040
Speaker 1: way in the past, where you get these general like

2373
02:06:50,040 --> 02:06:55,240
Speaker 1: like with Naggie in Chicago, they goes into that first year,

2374
02:06:55,240 --> 02:06:57,800
Speaker 1: they go twelve and four and they double doink in

2375
02:06:57,840 --> 02:07:00,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs and miss a playoff opportunity to ants, and

2376
02:07:00,800 --> 02:07:03,560
Speaker 1: all they talk about all offseason is just getting a kicker.

2377
02:07:04,360 --> 02:07:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean that's all you know, that's all he wanted

2378
02:07:05,960 --> 02:07:08,160
Speaker 1: to do, and that you know you can't do that.

2379
02:07:08,720 --> 02:07:12,080
Speaker 1: You got to you gotta evaluate every single player on

2380
02:07:12,160 --> 02:07:14,680
Speaker 1: your roster. Why were they motivated this year, why they

2381
02:07:14,680 --> 02:07:17,200
Speaker 1: played well, what motivates them, and how are you going

2382
02:07:17,240 --> 02:07:19,560
Speaker 1: to keep motivating them down the line. You can't just

2383
02:07:19,600 --> 02:07:21,560
Speaker 1: give them a contract and say, okay, we're good there.

2384
02:07:22,200 --> 02:07:25,280
Speaker 1: You got to figure out why they're motivated and push

2385
02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:28,960
Speaker 1: the right buttons. You see this this regime here in Buffalo,

2386
02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:32,960
Speaker 1: they they sign guys at every position every year to compete,

2387
02:07:33,040 --> 02:07:37,680
Speaker 1: to start, and they do it in such ways like

2388
02:07:37,680 --> 02:07:40,200
Speaker 1: a one year deal. Prove it, come on in play.

2389
02:07:40,200 --> 02:07:41,520
Speaker 1: You think you can hit a home run, If you

2390
02:07:41,560 --> 02:07:43,160
Speaker 1: hit it out of the park with us, you can

2391
02:07:43,320 --> 02:07:48,920
Speaker 1: sign a new contract. This this regime is built and

2392
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:53,120
Speaker 1: it's philosophy is to build a contender every single year,

2393
02:07:53,240 --> 02:07:56,720
Speaker 1: and starting with the quarterback and all the guys he's

2394
02:07:56,760 --> 02:07:59,480
Speaker 1: got around him, and going from there, they pay the

2395
02:07:59,520 --> 02:08:02,280
Speaker 1: guys they know they don't have to motivate and that's

2396
02:08:02,360 --> 02:08:05,920
Speaker 1: really the bottom line. Everybody else is under contract to

2397
02:08:06,040 --> 02:08:10,560
Speaker 1: prove it, and you better have a fire lit underneath you. Yeah,

2398
02:08:10,560 --> 02:08:13,800
Speaker 1: you're essentially unnoticed or you have a one year deal. Yeah, exactly.

2399
02:08:13,840 --> 02:08:17,600
Speaker 1: It works here and that's that we gotta works. Yeah,

2400
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:19,960
Speaker 1: back to the phones, and said John in North Buffalo,

2401
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:22,240
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? John, Sir, I'd like

2402
02:08:22,320 --> 02:08:27,680
Speaker 1: to say something. Intelligence always Trump's ability. There was a

2403
02:08:27,720 --> 02:08:34,120
Speaker 1: lot of ability out there, but kase Us, there's more intelligently. Uh,

2404
02:08:34,640 --> 02:08:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, you playing the percentages here, we're trying to

2405
02:08:38,560 --> 02:08:42,520
Speaker 1: blitch the quarterback with thirteen seconds. We should have been

2406
02:08:42,560 --> 02:08:45,960
Speaker 1: in a prevent defense. I mean they walked right in

2407
02:08:46,560 --> 02:08:49,000
Speaker 1: the kick. They should have tried a squift kick. Go

2408
02:08:49,160 --> 02:08:54,560
Speaker 1: with the percentages, don't you agree? Well, they didn't blitz

2409
02:08:54,600 --> 02:08:58,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the game with their teen seconds

2410
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:04,040
Speaker 1: sum they actually are you saying, um, and John, are

2411
02:09:04,040 --> 02:09:05,560
Speaker 1: you saying they should have blitzed at the end of

2412
02:09:05,560 --> 02:09:09,360
Speaker 1: the game and didn't or they did and shouldn't have. Well,

2413
02:09:09,440 --> 02:09:11,680
Speaker 1: he wanted the swift kick. He did voice that. Yeah,

2414
02:09:11,720 --> 02:09:15,920
Speaker 1: I can get that. Don't know what happened the line disconnected? Um, Yeah,

2415
02:09:15,960 --> 02:09:18,360
Speaker 1: And they did try a couple of blitzes in the game.

2416
02:09:18,840 --> 02:09:21,440
Speaker 1: One was on the touchdown pass to Pringle. They blitzed

2417
02:09:21,480 --> 02:09:23,960
Speaker 1: from both sides, they got pressure on him, and he

2418
02:09:24,040 --> 02:09:26,440
Speaker 1: still threw a touchdown to Byron Pringle. So both these

2419
02:09:26,520 --> 02:09:29,280
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are are like the same guy. They blitzed Josh

2420
02:09:29,280 --> 02:09:31,520
Speaker 1: too and Gabe Davis catches his first touchdown of the

2421
02:09:31,640 --> 02:09:34,320
Speaker 1: night right over the middle. They're human chief codes. That's

2422
02:09:34,360 --> 02:09:36,560
Speaker 1: what it is. There is no good answer for either

2423
02:09:36,640 --> 02:09:39,600
Speaker 1: of them. So you know, you can you can criticize

2424
02:09:39,600 --> 02:09:43,040
Speaker 1: the defensive strategy all you want, or argue percentages and

2425
02:09:43,120 --> 02:09:47,040
Speaker 1: what have you, but there is no good answer for

2426
02:09:47,280 --> 02:09:50,600
Speaker 1: either of these guys, seemingly, no matter how much time

2427
02:09:51,360 --> 02:09:54,480
Speaker 1: is on the clock. I think one of the and

2428
02:09:54,520 --> 02:09:56,240
Speaker 1: one of the interesting things as well, is I mean,

2429
02:09:56,280 --> 02:09:59,000
Speaker 1: you've got no no team in the NFL's got anybody

2430
02:09:59,000 --> 02:10:02,320
Speaker 1: athletically who can up with Tyreek Hill speedwise. He's just

2431
02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:05,760
Speaker 1: a mismatch now we I think in the first game,

2432
02:10:06,800 --> 02:10:10,360
Speaker 1: I think Tardevius matched up with Kelsey once in a

2433
02:10:10,440 --> 02:10:13,600
Speaker 1: while and they took Kelsey with a with a number

2434
02:10:13,600 --> 02:10:16,400
Speaker 1: one corner, number two corner and said go um. And

2435
02:10:16,440 --> 02:10:18,560
Speaker 1: they did that man to man, and that seemed to

2436
02:10:18,560 --> 02:10:21,040
Speaker 1: work in the first matchup, but with Tardavius out, they're

2437
02:10:21,040 --> 02:10:24,520
Speaker 1: not going to do that, so right, you know all

2438
02:10:24,560 --> 02:10:26,920
Speaker 1: of that stuff in the mix, You know, you gotta

2439
02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:30,000
Speaker 1: go with what you got in this this coaching staff. Um,

2440
02:10:30,760 --> 02:10:32,560
Speaker 1: you get caught with a guy that you can't match

2441
02:10:32,640 --> 02:10:34,400
Speaker 1: up with physically, you got to figure it out and

2442
02:10:34,480 --> 02:10:37,480
Speaker 1: it and it makes you thin elsewhere. And in this case,

2443
02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:41,680
Speaker 1: I think it was Tyreek Hill and and Travis Kelsey.

2444
02:10:41,840 --> 02:10:44,040
Speaker 1: You're just they just weren't as deep in the defensive

2445
02:10:44,040 --> 02:10:46,440
Speaker 1: backfield with guys they trusted or who could play man

2446
02:10:46,480 --> 02:10:50,560
Speaker 1: on those guys and get it done. And that changed

2447
02:10:50,600 --> 02:10:52,560
Speaker 1: everything in the front of the pass rush and everything.

2448
02:10:53,480 --> 02:10:55,600
Speaker 1: There's no answer for either of them. Last year in

2449
02:10:55,640 --> 02:10:58,360
Speaker 1: the AFC Title Game, Hill and Kelsey twenty two catches,

2450
02:10:58,400 --> 02:11:01,800
Speaker 1: two hundred ninety yards two touch downs. Last night, the

2451
02:11:01,840 --> 02:11:04,360
Speaker 1: two of them combined for nineteen catches, two hundred and

2452
02:11:04,400 --> 02:11:07,520
Speaker 1: forty six yards and two touchdowns. I mean, it's almost

2453
02:11:07,520 --> 02:11:10,040
Speaker 1: a carbon copy. And the Bills aren't the only team

2454
02:11:10,080 --> 02:11:12,160
Speaker 1: they do it against. They do it against just about everybody.

2455
02:11:12,200 --> 02:11:15,120
Speaker 1: They are that good. And Tyreek Hill is not a

2456
02:11:15,160 --> 02:11:18,120
Speaker 1: step faster than everybody else. It's more like three or four.

2457
02:11:18,560 --> 02:11:21,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he is just blowing the doors off of

2458
02:11:21,480 --> 02:11:25,000
Speaker 1: people who are fast in this league. You can't be

2459
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:27,920
Speaker 1: slow and play in this league. He is just faster

2460
02:11:28,040 --> 02:11:31,720
Speaker 1: than everybody on the planet, it seems. So it's just

2461
02:11:32,160 --> 02:11:34,840
Speaker 1: tough finding answers when you've got an All World quarterback

2462
02:11:34,920 --> 02:11:37,560
Speaker 1: and two players at their positions that are arguably top

2463
02:11:37,600 --> 02:11:40,200
Speaker 1: three in the league, and just about everybody's had a

2464
02:11:40,200 --> 02:11:44,040
Speaker 1: tough time stopping him. And it's why, it's why this

2465
02:11:44,080 --> 02:11:46,960
Speaker 1: team is going to a fourth straight AFC title game.

2466
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:48,440
Speaker 1: Steve and I have to take a break when we

2467
02:11:48,480 --> 02:11:51,240
Speaker 1: come back and blows things up on a difficult Monday,

2468
02:11:51,280 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 1: But we're just about through it, peeps. There are brighter

2469
02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:56,440
Speaker 1: days ahead, even if the snow has fallen in Buffalo.

2470
02:11:56,600 --> 02:11:58,160
Speaker 1: Back in a moment here on one of Bill's Live

2471
02:11:58,200 --> 02:12:13,120
Speaker 1: stay tuned, all right, Jack, I want you old vibe.

2472
02:12:13,160 --> 02:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Then take one more call here before we close out

2473
02:12:15,320 --> 02:12:18,240
Speaker 1: the show, Steve, we go to Bobby out in California.

2474
02:12:18,320 --> 02:12:21,520
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Bobby? Hey, thanks for

2475
02:12:21,560 --> 02:12:24,360
Speaker 1: taking my call, So listen. I've never listened or called

2476
02:12:24,400 --> 02:12:28,080
Speaker 1: into an out of market sports show before, but I

2477
02:12:28,080 --> 02:12:29,840
Speaker 1: just want to say I'm a huge Stefan Diggs fan,

2478
02:12:29,880 --> 02:12:32,000
Speaker 1: so when he went to Buffalo, I became a casual

2479
02:12:32,040 --> 02:12:34,920
Speaker 1: Bills fan. I'm absolutely gutted for the Bills and the

2480
02:12:34,960 --> 02:12:37,640
Speaker 1: Bills mafia. So from what I can gather, I think

2481
02:12:37,640 --> 02:12:39,760
Speaker 1: the overall sent him in a sadness and I blame,

2482
02:12:40,480 --> 02:12:42,440
Speaker 1: which is good to hear. But I guess what I

2483
02:12:42,480 --> 02:12:44,160
Speaker 1: wanted to say is, you know, I feel so bad

2484
02:12:44,160 --> 02:12:46,320
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen specifically. I don't know what it is

2485
02:12:46,360 --> 02:12:49,680
Speaker 1: where the camera focus is on his like super expressive eyes.

2486
02:12:50,240 --> 02:12:52,120
Speaker 1: You know, when he scored with the two minutes left,

2487
02:12:52,160 --> 02:12:53,920
Speaker 1: I think his eyes were like, you know, we finally

2488
02:12:53,920 --> 02:12:56,760
Speaker 1: did it. And then when they scored with whatever thirteen

2489
02:12:56,800 --> 02:12:59,400
Speaker 1: seconds left, it was almost like, you know what time did?

2490
02:12:59,440 --> 02:13:01,760
Speaker 1: When do we? You know? The production on the movie,

2491
02:13:02,240 --> 02:13:04,320
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I think the smartest thing the

2492
02:13:04,360 --> 02:13:07,240
Speaker 1: Bills did was to get them out of town last night,

2493
02:13:07,360 --> 02:13:10,280
Speaker 1: because I'm pretty sure everyone would have missed the flight

2494
02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:13,160
Speaker 1: back home. I know personally, i'd be sitting in a

2495
02:13:13,160 --> 02:13:15,760
Speaker 1: fetal position in my hotel bed. I find to fly

2496
02:13:15,880 --> 02:13:18,680
Speaker 1: back this morning, and you guys are tough. You know,

2497
02:13:18,720 --> 02:13:20,960
Speaker 1: I get glumpy one the temperate you drops to fifty degree,

2498
02:13:21,080 --> 02:13:23,680
Speaker 1: so what can I say? But all I can really

2499
02:13:23,720 --> 02:13:28,560
Speaker 1: say is that listen, this uh, this episode reminds me

2500
02:13:28,560 --> 02:13:30,160
Speaker 1: of Jordan when he was trying to get past the

2501
02:13:30,160 --> 02:13:32,920
Speaker 1: Pistons in the playoffs, you know whatever that was in

2502
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:35,440
Speaker 1: the nineties. You know, they finally he finally did it

2503
02:13:35,480 --> 02:13:37,760
Speaker 1: and then he became the champion. So you know, I'm

2504
02:13:37,800 --> 02:13:39,360
Speaker 1: rooting for the Bills, and I think a lot of

2505
02:13:39,360 --> 02:13:41,920
Speaker 1: the nation is rooting for the Bills to you know,

2506
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:44,720
Speaker 1: get over the A lot of people be celebrating when

2507
