Speaker 2: to discuss today, obviously, and we know a lot of

75
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: people out there are hurting. They take it in a

76
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: difficult way because they care. I mean, that's the ultimate

77
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: thing I'm gonna I'll just relay this. I mean my family.

78
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: I'm a counselor for my family.

79
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 7: Today.

80
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 2: I called my son to check on him because he

81
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 2: told me it's the first time he's cried since he's

82
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: ten years old. I mean, he was broken up about that.

83
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: Man.

84
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the same kid that basically he locked

85
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: himself in his room after Stevie Johnson got traded and

86
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: put a sign out front with his jersey that said,

87
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 2: please do not bother me. I'm in a deep depression.

88
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: He takes it really hard, and so you got to

89
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: check on your loved ones when they're not near yet

90
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: and see how they're doing. Steve heard my daughter calling me.

91
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: She's at a bar in New York City last night.

92
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: You could have heard a pin drop after that game ended.

93
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 8: I have gone I'm silent on my farm. I'm not

94
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 8: answering any text at all. I just I'm with everybody else.

95
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 8: I said this on postgame last night on Bills Tonight,

96
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 8: we were gonna go live postgame, but because of some

97
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 8: of the stuff that was going on with the live

98
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 8: feed to CBS so they could show the watch party

99
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 8: here in Buffalo, we were unable to go live postgame.

100
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: Don't ask me why. I don't know about all that stuff.

101
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 8: But anyway, on Bills Tonight, which we taped right after

102
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 8: the show, after the game last night, Mattie and I

103
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 8: I said, listen, this one hurts so bad because we

104
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 8: came in with absolutely no expectations and the team, this team,

105
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 8: this coaches, this group seduced us with the way they

106
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 8: played and how awesome it was to be on this

107
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 8: bandwagon that nobody thought was ever gonna get there. They

108
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 8: didn't think they're gonna get win the division, and they

109
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 8: did it three you know, like two and a half

110
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 8: months ago, they clinched the division.

111
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: They'd just been.

112
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 8: Flying so high, so you really felt like, and I

113
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 8: think it's true, this is a really special group. And

114
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 8: to see him end it like that last night on

115
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 8: by a Hair's Breath, on like five different plays that

116
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 8: spun out and went against him.

117
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: It's rough.

118
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's rough, but this is a team that you

119
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 8: know you got. You gotta tip your hat to him.

120
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 8: They did something we none of us thought at the

121
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 8: beginning of the year they could do. And I think

122
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 8: that's why it hurts so bad today, is because you

123
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 8: thought this was a kind of different, a different feel,

124
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 8: different atmosphere.

125
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, my wife's trying to lift the family up. She

126
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: sends a quote from Queen Elizabeth the iid grief is

127
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: the price we pay for love. And we all love

128
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: this team, and that's why it's so hard when it

129
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: doesn't go the way we wanted it all to go.

130
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people lured themselves into

131
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: thinking like, this is the time, it's our time.

132
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: This Yeah, I'll say this.

133
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 8: I saw a lot more of that this year than

134
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 8: any other year, even the twenty twenty season, you know,

135
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 8: when they were so good and they you know, they

136
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 8: looked like this juggernaut and they became this team, you know,

137
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 8: and I've never heard such optimism before a playoff game

138
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 8: from Bill's Mafia.

139
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: I think Bill's fans were just trying to talk themselves

140
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: into this is the time, This is when we're gonna

141
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: finally get one.

142
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it didn't happen.

143
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 8: So I'll say this to you. Think about the razor's edge.

144
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 8: Both those teams last night scored four touchdowns and a

145
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 8: field goal. It was all about the extra points and

146
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 8: fourth down. I mean it was it was razor thine

147
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 8: the margin in this game. It was a three point game,

148
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 8: but oh my gosh, twenty nine to twenty nine. Then

149
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 8: they you know, it's just like ah.

150
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: So for an unpress fourth time, Patrick Mahomes and the

151
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: Chiefs send the Bills out of the playoffs second time

152
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: in five years in the Conference Championship round, and Buffalo,

153
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: unfortunately is once again forced to watch the Super Bowl.

154
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo is seven to one against all other teams in

155
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs over the last five seasons. Seven and one

156
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: teams with four plus touchdowns and no turnovers are twenty

157
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: one and two in the playoffs since twenty twenty. The

158
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 2: two losses belonged to Buffalo in the twenty twenty four

159
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: Conference Championship game and in the twenty twenty one Divisional round,

160
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 2: both games lost by Buffalo in Kansas City. They've played

161
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: as sound of football game as possible, and it's still

162
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: not enough. Bills were fourteen to zero when leading after

163
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: three quarters this season. Their last loss when leading entering

164
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter last year's Divisional round game against the Chiefs.

165
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: So the Chiefs, the Chiefs are the standard, and the

166
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: Bills are scraping and clawing and trying to do everything

167
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: possible to reach that level and they just can't.

168
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: Here's why.

169
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 8: The thing too, that you forget the Bills aren't the

170
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 8: only one, obviously, but they seem to be in a

171
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 8: large measure of the last team in the AFC, in

172
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 8: the conference that has a shot of beating them so often.

173
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 8: You know, certainly they've been to two championship games between

174
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 8: the twenty twenty one and twenty twenty four. But you know,

175
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 8: this Bills team is one of the last teams to

176
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 8: take a swing at these guys. They're the only ones

177
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 8: that are kind of constantly worthy of being in that conversation.

178
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 8: You know, once again, it's going to be that narrative

179
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 8: of the Bills beat them in the regular season, then

180
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 8: when it matters, the Chiefs, you know, have that extra play. Yeah,

181
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 8: and that's gonna you know, you got to live with it.

182
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 8: It's no fun and certainly this is an unusual scenario. Now,

183
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 8: the Chiefs going back to the Super Bowl against the Eagles,

184
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 8: who they defeated by three the last time they were in.

185
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: The Super Bowl.

186
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: The field goal with eight seconds left, that's right, So

187
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: that was pretty air tight.

188
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: We knew it going in. We talked about it all

189
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: last week. Headed up. You knew it was gonna come

190
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: down to Razor thin and maybe whoever.

191
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 8: Had the ball last or uh, you know, just one

192
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 8: of those plays and it wasn't enough.

193
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: Now, some of the things that cost Buffalo in the game,

194
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: at least in my opinion, the short yardage battle. Buffalo

195
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: was four for seven and converting short yardage situations, counting

196
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: James Cook's one yard touchdown run on fourth and goal

197
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: from the one, but the two failed two point conversions

198
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: and the controversial fourth and one in the fourth quarter

199
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: after Dalton kin Kate had already gotten the first down

200
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: on the third down, but a crappy spot leads to

201
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: fourth down and then Allen appeared to have it. The

202
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: CBS crew on TV even felt he had it, and

203
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: Kansas City gets the ball, goes down and scores a touchdown.

204
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: The stats that really make a difference in a game

205
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: this tight in the second half. Bill's offense one for

206
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: seven on third down in the second half, for what

207
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: it's worth, were two for five in the second half,

208
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: not much better. Both teams had two punts, the Chiefs

209
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: lost to fumble, and the Bills had two turnovers on downs.

210
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah that I'll say this too.

211
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 8: And people are crushing Dalton kincaid over the last throw

212
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 8: from fourth and five. You go back and look at

213
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 8: that play. And we said this on post game last

214
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 8: night as well or on Bills tonight. Spagnolo got Josh

215
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 8: and fooled Josh for a half a second. And if

216
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 8: he had had to do over it, Shakir was the

217
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 8: play to be made in that last fourth and five

218
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 8: where it was our last offensive play of the game.

219
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 8: Shakir was wide open. He would have been deep into

220
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 8: the Chiefs territory. Josh turned his back and ran away

221
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 8: from the pressure. If he'd just turned ran into the pressure,

222
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 8: he ran into the pressure. If he just turned and

223
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 8: thrown it to Khalil, that play was there. So that

224
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 8: was And actually, you know, I know, Joe Brady's getting

225
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 8: crushed to all the coaches get crushed when everything this happens.

226
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 8: But man oh Man, I think this one's on on

227
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 8: the guys up front and on Josh Khalil's coming down

228
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 8: wide open.

229
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: The play was there.

230
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 8: It was a great offensive play call right here, and

231
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 8: he just did not see it. And of course Kincaid

232
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 8: couldn't convert either, and that's the frustrating part right there.

233
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 2: James Cook with a fantastic game, one hundred and thirty

234
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: four total yards, two touchdowns. I know a lot of

235
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: people wondering why he wasn't out there for the final drive.

236
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 2: They were in two minute drill and Ty Johnson is

237
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: the better pass protector, which is why he's been out

238
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: there in those situations all season. But it's an argument

239
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: to be made. I mean, Cook was the best mismatch

240
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 2: the entire game. I would have personally, I would have

241
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 2: split him out wide, gone two backs, whatever. But your

242
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: best players have to be on the field at the

243
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 2: end of the game, so I think there's a there's

244
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: an argument for that. You could have utilized him as

245
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 2: a safety valve, you know, check down pass game situation.

246
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: He's a guy that can make people missing space, so

247
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: it is an argument to be made to have him

248
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: in the game on the final drive. Allen was very

249
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 2: good but I think even he would say he was

250
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 2: not at his best. Slow start accuracy off at the

251
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: start of the game, got better as the game went along.

252
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, it took a deep breath and halftime they came

253
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 8: out and of course when the running game kicked in,

254
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 8: everything got better.

255
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 2: Yeah.

256
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 8: It was a really impressive drive that finished off by

257
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 8: that Cook one yard touchdown run. That was a real drive.

258
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 8: There ten runs on that drive. That was big boys

259
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 8: football and the Bills showed up big and that's huge,

260
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 8: So that was great.

261
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: Bills were three for three in the red zone. Chiefs

262
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: were four for six pass rush for the defense not

263
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: nearly present enough. Defensive ends were falling down, leading to

264
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: the loss of the edge. Mahomes took off and ran

265
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: for yarders when that happened every time. All told, the

266
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: Bills had two sacks seven quarterback hits, the same exact

267
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: totals from the week eleven game. Two sacks, seven quarterback hits.

268
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: Feel like the Bills defensively felt they had to cover

269
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: up for more on the back end, especially after losing Benford,

270
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 2: and that left themselves vulnerable at the intermediate level and

271
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 2: didn't allow them to commit as much blitz help because

272
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: they had to cover up.

273
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, they were compromised when when Benford went out, and

274
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 8: particularly against a team like with a Juju Smith Schuster,

275
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 8: with the Xavior worthy of the speed those guys bring,

276
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 8: you kind of need all hands on deck. And it

277
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 8: was and also too, I mean without Taylor rapping there,

278
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 8: you got to wonder about the communication and how ready

279
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 8: those guys were to and how comfortable they felt with

280
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 8: those exact five guys on the on the field, or

281
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 8: those four guys in the case of base personnel, or

282
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 8: or six guys in the case of dime. Yeah, that

283
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 8: was a they got caught, but they still they still

284
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 8: forced that last field goal, They forced a couple of

285
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 8: stops in so that was I mean, they stepped up.

286
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 8: Bob Babbage as per usual, got that defense playing much

287
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 8: much better, more effective in the second.

288
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: Half, as has been the case all year long.

289
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you know they just the offense came out

290
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 8: and ran the ball. So they kind of turned the

291
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 8: tide in that second in that third quarter, took the

292
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 8: lead one. And I say this too, and I know

293
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 8: that you hear this on there's always the loud minority

294
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 8: who's like, you know, fire everybody after a game like this.

295
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 8: I thought, I thought McDermott did exactly what he should

296
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 8: have done. Even the challenge that they didn't get.

297
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the ball hits the ground, the ball hits

298
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: the ground.

299
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 8: I mean he even the challenge that he didn't get

300
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 8: awarded was a good challenge. The two point conversion attempts, yeah, I.

301
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: Was all about, you got to do it.

302
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 8: And you know, as it turns out, maybe you got

303
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 8: a better chance if you don't do it, because you

304
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 8: didn't get eight either of them.

305
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: So that's a huge swing in the game.

306
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 8: And you know those Yeah, I thought McDermott pushed all

307
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 8: the right buttons, and I thought the decisions now they

308
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 8: didn't execute him, but the decisions behind them were were

309
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 8: spot on.

310
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: I have to credit ESPN for this stat but in

311
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 2: the last three playoff meetings between Mahomes and Allen, Mahomes

312
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: nine touchdowns, one turn over, four sacks taken, Allen nine touchdowns,

313
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: no turnovers, four sacks taken. I mean theirs stats scoring

314
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: wise and turnover wise and sack wise.

315
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 8: Almost twenty touchdown twenty eighteen, eighteen touchdowns, one turnover, one interception.

316
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: One turnover, eight sacks. And I'm sure every everyone saw

317
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: Adam Schefter's tweet last night. The last nine matchups between

318
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 2: the Bills and Chiefs Mahomes Chiefs have outscored Allen's Bills

319
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: in nine matchups two forty five to two forty.

320
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that last five point swing last night was

321
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 8: three of those points.

322
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: Yes, So it's Look, it's tough. I'm not gonna I'm

323
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: not sugarcoating it. It sucks and we all know that.

324
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: But we're here to be your therapists for the day

325
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: here till three, and the phone lines are open at

326
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: eight h three oh five fifty. So let's go there now,

327
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: and we lead off with Andrew down in Houston. How

328
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: are you doing? Andrew?

329
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 9: Be So, first of I have a question and then

330
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 9: a couple on a statement. But so in the review process,

331
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 9: I don't remember when that whole catch was worthy and

332
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 9: bishop happened, if that was the first half or second half. Why,

333
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 9: because we have that official or the former official working

334
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 9: for the Bills to help figure out the challenges. Why

335
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 9: didn't we challenge the dog kate third down which was

336
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 9: a first down rather than I don't I guess, rather

337
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 9: than running up and rushing that fourth down attempt?

338
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's a little tricky late in the game because

339
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: you're thinking about preserving your timeouts and if you don't

340
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 2: get that challenge, you lose a time out. That's one

341
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: less time out you have to work with, so you

342
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: have to weigh risk reward. You know, Sean is relying

343
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 2: on people upstairs who are getting to look at it.

344
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: Was his knee down? Was it not down? We all

345
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: thought he got it.

346
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: But a lot of times when you challenge spot of

347
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: the ball, it rarely.

348
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: Gets overturned, right. I think the statistics would support that,

349
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: And late in the game, when you're looking to preserve timeouts,

350
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: you're a little less inclined to go for it. So

351
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: they got hosed on the spot. I don't think there's

352
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: any question about it. It sucks.

353
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, so also, but why I understand. I'm not

354
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 9: going to go into debating about the whole touch push

355
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 9: thing because that's worked like ninety eight percent of the

356
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 9: time this whole season, but Casey figured out a way

357
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 9: to kind of make it a lot harder on us

358
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 9: than initially we should have and that, but we just

359
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 9: kept going to it. So I understand going to it,

360
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 9: but I also like hesitate as to why the shit

361
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 9: be going for it all the time. And then also

362
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 9: Casey always runs that corner blitz at least once a game,

363
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 9: and every time the Bills correct me if I'm wrong,

364
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 9: if it's outside of fourth and one. Josh is always

365
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 9: a shotgun by himself with no help. And that I

366
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 9: think Spagnola he I mean, there's a reason why Spagnola

367
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 9: they're saying he should be in the Hall of Fame

368
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 9: as an assistant. He saw that and he called the

369
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 9: perfect play. And for all the good our offensive line

370
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 9: has done all year long, we needed our guys to

371
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 9: step up. Casey has their guys that Juju Schmidt like

372
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 9: he was on the Patriots well last year or two

373
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 9: years ago, he's back with Casey making plays their third

374
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 9: string running back. He made a play at the end

375
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 9: of the game that was the first time I think

376
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 9: he even got in the game, and he iced the game

377
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 9: for him. So it's like the Chiefs, somehow their guys

378
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 9: find a way to step up and make those plays,

379
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 9: and our guys haven't figured out how to do it yet.

380
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 8: At least not at least not often enough. Andrew, that's

381
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 8: for sure, on the on the blitz when they come

382
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 8: when Josh is empty and they send the corner. They

383
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 8: do that when it is empty. If there's a guy

384
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 8: back there, they check the call out of it. So

385
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 8: the defense does that purposely. So when they got they don't.

386
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 8: They wouldn't run that blitz if there was a guy

387
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 8: back there protecting Josh. So that that works both ways.

388
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 8: So and you're right, the tush put, You're right, it's maddening.

389
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 8: When the tush push doesn't work, he keeps going and

390
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 8: it's the same thing over and over. It's an you know,

391
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 8: it's a it's a battle of wheels.

392
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 7: Uh.

393
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 8: The offensive lineman want that opportunity, the defensive lineman. No,

394
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 8: They've got to do it exactly right to make it work.

395
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 8: And let's face it, most people think it did. I mean,

396
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 8: the guy comes running in from the far side, he's

397
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 8: well past the line and then changes his mind and

398
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 8: walks at an angle back towards you know.

399
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 2: And the guy on the far side can go on,

400
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: we can go on.

401
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 8: And on about whether he made it or not. They

402
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 8: didn't give it to him.

403
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: And I know there was also this Chris Jones was

404
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: lining up in the neutral zone on every single one

405
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: of those plays, and the Bills were trying to get

406
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: the refs to call it that he's in the neutral zone.

407
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: He can't be there, like there has to be space.

408
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 2: And he lined up in the neutral zone consistently, and

409
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: that's why they even went hard count late in that

410
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 2: game to try to get him to jump and to

411
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: try to draw the flag. They try to induce him

412
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: so they could finally get the ref to throw a flag,

413
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: and they did not. And you say, well, what's the

414
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 2: advantage of lining up in the neutral zone. You're that

415
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 2: much closer to making contact. Yeah, and that's how they

416
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: were able to thwart.

417
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 8: They wouldn't do it if it didn't give him an edge.

418
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 8: And yeah, and that was Yeah, that's the thing when

419
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 8: it's really frustrating. And I'll say this too, and and

420
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 8: and I love I love the the answer McDermott getting

421
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 8: all the players given. It's the one you get thrown

422
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 8: at you when you don't do this. Bowls in the

423
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 8: hands of your best player, behind your best weapon, your

424
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 8: offensive line.

425
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: Go with it, go with that strength. Let them stop

426
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: what you do best.

427
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 2: I mean.

428
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 8: And they did a nice job. But you know, Bill's

429
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 8: fans will stay today. They didn't, but they called it

430
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 8: that they did. And that's that's that's a double edged sword.

431
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: They're four for seven and the game they should have

432
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: been five for seven if refs know how to mark

433
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: the line to game. And the third seven is right

434
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 2: around what their success rate was all season long.

435
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 8: The third down spot, you're right, all those little things

436
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 8: and let me say tell you something. We're talking about it.

437
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 8: That's how close this stinking game was. It's just so

438
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 8: maddening when you when.

439
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 2: You get magnified.

440
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 8: A third down spot with you know, with minutes, you know,

441
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 8: with minutes to go in the game, a reviewed play

442
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 8: that doesn't get overturned on a big play. You know,

443
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 8: all this, all these nuanced plays, Josh missing Khalil on

444
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 8: that outside and then the same play. Kincaid can't pull

445
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 8: it in all these plays where he you know, I mean,

446
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 8: Joe Brady's getting crew crushed for being unimaginative in the

447
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 8: second half.

448
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: The plays are.

449
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: There and you're in a one score, they're there, and

450
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: you're in, you're leaning on a run game that has

451
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: worked for you all season long.

452
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 8: And yeah, and you and I'll say this to you,

453
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 8: and as I say, this is a former player, and

454
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 8: most I would say all of them would say the

455
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 8: same thing. That's on the players. They they gave them

456
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 8: what they needed to win, and they just couldn't get

457
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 8: it done. And the Chiefs did more often. Certainly execution, yes, certainly,

458
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 8: certainly you could have gotten those first downs, and you know,

459
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 8: who knows how the game would have rippled effected, you know,

460
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 8: getting that last first down, But there you go, I mean,

461
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 8: you gotta do it.

462
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: And I they played. The Bills played really well.

463
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 8: With all these little nicks you know, around this little

464
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 8: spot here, this little fourth down here, this this decision here,

465
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 8: this drop pass here, and all of a sudden you

466
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 8: lose by three to what some think is the most

467
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 8: historic team ever going back to their third straight Super Bowl,

468
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 8: and you were right there in their house.

469
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: Man.

470
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 8: That's it's really really frustrating for Bills fans and and

471
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 8: and the players and the coaches as well. I mean

472
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 8: those guys, Yeah, they're everybody's sick about it, because that's

473
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 8: those are the kind of games you look back on, said,

474
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 8: that was a chance that we had.

475
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's another swing at it, and as.

476
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: We already know, those don't come every year. That's the

477
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: second time. It's five years, took him five years to

478
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: get back to that spot again. To Cindy in Niagara Falls,

479
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 2: what do you have for Cindy?

480
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 10: Hi, thanks for taking my call. First, I heard you

481
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 10: guys talking about family and how upset they were, and

482
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 10: my husband and I were watching it, and my daughter

483
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 10: was texting me, Oh my god, Sienna, my granddaughter, she's

484
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 10: hysterically crying. And then my grandson James was throwing things

485
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 10: on his floor in his bedroom. So we were laughing.

486
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 10: I you know what, we love the Bills and we

487
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 10: can all be Monday Morning quarterbacks and every there was

488
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 10: enough blame to go around, so you know, go Bills

489
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 10: and keep fighting and I'm excited for next season.

490
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 11: Thanks guys, yep, thanks for the call.

491
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, it's tough. It's tough for everybody. So hug

492
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: the ones you love, make sure they're good. You got

493
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: to go to gym and Grand Island next. What's up,

494
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: Jim Hey?

495
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 12: Hi, Chris Hi, Steve boy, Like you said, you have

496
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 12: to check on everybody. Really frustrated, really that I want

497
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 12: something I really wanted to talk about really quick. A

498
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 12: couple of things. One is just bills Bills fans. Last

499
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 12: week they kept on saying that you know, Buffalo is

500
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 12: now going to be the new America's team. And I

501
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 12: got one instance I want to point out to you guys,

502
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 12: you are friends of ours live in Indianapolis. So we

503
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 12: met him in the Bills game in the parking lot,

504
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 12: and Grant and Katrina and their daughter Kailin I have

505
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 12: seven and a half hours to a Bill's game from Indianapolis,

506
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 12: and they listened to it once. They did it four

507
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 12: times this year. And Grant actually went to the Kansas

508
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 12: City game seven and a half hours in the other

509
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 12: directions yesterday. And I mean, I don't like driving home

510
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 12: from the game from Orchard Park to Grand Island. And yeah,

511
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 12: they're doing this. So just really the guys to show

512
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 12: a little bit of the dedication to some Bills fans

513
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 12: that we've got out there, and yeah we and they're

514
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 12: not even from Buffalo, they live in it. They were

515
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 12: born and raised in Indianapolis. But my other point is

516
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 12: my other problem that I always have is I was

517
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 12: always com a Yankee fans and Yankees for a longest time.

518
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 12: Every year when I was growing up and watching them,

519
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 12: you know, if they didn't win the World Series, the

520
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 12: season was a failure. I questioned that this year, I

521
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 12: don't think. I think Steve, you talked about it earlier.

522
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 12: I don't think the season is a failure. You know,

523
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 12: we did no expectations. Everybody talked to us. We weren't

524
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 12: even going to finish anywhere the top three in our division.

525
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 12: So I think that's good. But the problem is is

526
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 12: the season is no good until we beat Kansas City,

527
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 12: until we win the World Series. Where we beat that.

528
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 12: I mean, as what it feels like, it's like next

529
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 12: year's season. No matter what we do during the regular season,

530
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 12: we gotta be casey in the playoffs. That's where That's

531
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 12: what happens with next season right now. I don't know

532
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 12: your thoughts.

533
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah, thanks for the college game. We've got

534
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: a lot of people we got to get to. Didn't

535
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: mean to cut you off there. The Chiefs of the

536
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 2: gold standard in the league right now was the Patriots

537
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: for a long time. The Chiefs have taken on that mantle.

538
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: I mean, they've won each of their last seventeen one

539
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 2: possession games. It's the longest streak in NFL history. Their

540
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 2: last one score loss was on Christmas Day in twenty

541
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 2: twenty three to Las Vegas. Of all teams. Twelve of

542
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: those one possession wins came season that led the NFL,

543
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 2: and Patrick Mahomes is now twenty two to one in

544
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: his last twenty two starts. The only loss was to

545
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 2: Buffalo in Week eleven. That's it. This is the only

546
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: team that's been able to hang with those jokers.

547
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they hung with them, for sure, but.

548
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 8: And you look at back the Houston Texans in the

549
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 8: week before played pretty well, but you could see where

550
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 8: they just hit didn't hit, and they and they just

551
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 8: got out distanced by the Chiefs. Bills actually hung in there.

552
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 8: They were down eleven in this game. You're thinking, man,

553
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 8: oh man, you're not doing it, and they came back

554
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 8: and took the I was that surprised me? Yeah, that

555
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 8: really surprised me. The Bills could come back and take

556
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 8: a lead after trailing by eleven points in the first half,

557
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 8: and they did it.

558
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: They've been a second half team most of the year.

559
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: They led the league in the second half turn second

560
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: half point margin, and they outscored him in the second

561
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: half eleven to eight. Yeah, I think or no, was

562
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: it the other way around? Thirteen eleven In the second half.

563
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: The Bills outscored him.

564
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it would you know, they it's uh yeah,

565
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 8: the Bills are a tough matchup for Kansas City, but

566
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 8: you know, not tough enough. And uh, I think it did.

567
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 8: You know, obviously it made a difference being in Narrowhead,

568
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 8: but you know, you kind of this team.

569
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't think they flinched.

570
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 8: They got off to a slow start, though, I will

571
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 8: say that, and I think that was a little bit

572
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 8: of you know, big moment, you know, Josh list Josh

573
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 8: wasn't himself. Yeah, but you know they rebounded, came back,

574
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 8: took the lead. So they got over it and gave

575
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 8: themselves a chance to win, but couldn't finish.

576
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: You know, we've got to take a break here. It

577
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: is also a locker clean out day. We're expecting to

578
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: hear from Josh Allen, so when he addresses the media,

579
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 2: we'll bring those comments to you. But we're taking your

580
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,480

596

Speaker 2: to twenty nine. To Mark in West Seneca, what do

597
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 2: you got for his? Mark?

598
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, want me to get us these quick thoughts

599
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 13: out about the team about the game. First of all,

600
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 13: everybody's going to talk about the negatives today, obviously, But

601
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 13: I love this team. I absolutely love this team. So

602
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 13: don't get me wrong with the things I'm am going

603
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 13: to tend to point out here. First of all, the

604
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 13: start of the game, I was absolutely shocked that on

605
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 13: the first three plays when we went three and out,

606
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 13: that we threw the ball twice and we threw the

607
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 13: ball downfield twice. That's the situation all year where Joe

608
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 13: Brady has consistently come out run the ball, and if

609
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 13: he did throw it, it was short passes, it was

610
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 13: patches in the flat to get Josh in a quick

611
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 13: rhythm and go on from there. But I thought this

612
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 13: team could if they would have gotten in a rhythm

613
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 13: last night, they could have bully balled that defense all

614
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 13: over the field if they chose to do that. And

615
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 13: I was really really surprised he didn't come out and

616
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 13: set precedents on that first series that way. Secondly, as

617
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 13: far as playing better in the second half, you can't

618
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 13: win championships with being only playing a half of football.

619
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 13: And unfortunately, what I said all year long, and I'm

620
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 13: not going to blame the d defense because they did

621
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 13: their best, but that's not a championship defense. And when

622
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 13: I look at the team, I think they're about a

623
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 13: year ahead of where I thought they would be. This

624
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 13: is a season I thought they would have next year

625
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 13: after one more draft year and a free agency maybe

626
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,239
Speaker 13: a couple of key signings. But they're really set up

627
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 13: to really do well next year too. With no one

628
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 13: what Brandon Bean is able to do with key acquisitions.

629
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 13: And then I have a question for you guys, situational football. Obviously,

630
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 13: short yardage was really a struggle last night, and teams

631
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 13: are just loading up on Josh on the sneak or

632
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 13: whatever he's going to do. Correct me if I'm wrong.

633
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 13: Have the Bills not developed or ever run a sweep

634
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 13: in short yardage with Josh Allen? I have a hard

635
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 13: time believing with the way we can pull our tackles

636
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 13: and maybe even Davis if we did, you know, student

637
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 13: body right like in the old days with the Packers.

638
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 13: We pull our left tackle, left guard and Josh is

639
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 13: behind them with matc Allens out on the right blocking

640
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 13: out wide. And if we have Anderson on the field,

641
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 13: also that anybody is going to be able to penetrate

642
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 13: that massive bodies and number one or get to the

643
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 13: outside and out flent Josh to the sideline to get

644
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 13: the short yardage. And I don't ever remember seeing the

645
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 13: Bills ever running something different, but especially like that. Or

646
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 13: We're gonna put all our beef out in front of

647
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 13: the best short yardage guy in the league and say, okay,

648
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 13: stop us.

649
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 8: Well Mark, they did that. They did that a couple

650
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 8: of times. They did it a couple of times last night.

651
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 8: Josh backed over the line off the right side to

652
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 8: get a first down on short yardage. And then also

653
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 8: they ran the play where Josh came off the right

654
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 8: and the play we just showed where James Cook got

655
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 8: the one yard plass, Josh ran off the right side

656
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 8: again and then pitched it to Cook for the for

657
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 8: the touchdown. They did that last night, and I think

658
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 8: there was another time too when Josh tried to run

659
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 8: the football I think the same way off the right

660
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 8: side or something on a sweep last night as well.

661
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 8: So they did that a little even last night.

662
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: They did it under dable in the Houston playoff game.

663
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 2: I remember they did it four or five times in

664
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: the game where they just brought students out ran behind them.

665
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, so yeah, they do do that, and they did

666
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 8: it last night too. But I'm with you and I

667
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 8: think that's one of the things when you look back,

668
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 8: as like it didn't work the way they wanted it

669
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 8: to work. Short yardage was it Even when they got it,

670
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 8: it was a it was a struggle. They never you know,

671
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 8: a couple of times they out on one or two

672
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 8: of the I think the six times there or four

673
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 8: of six were there? Three of six? What were they

674
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 8: last night? Or four to seven? Four seven on sure,

675
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 8: four seven on short yardage? Even a couple they got

676
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 8: looked hard, you know. So yeah, I would agree with you.

677
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: You need to.

678
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 8: I mean, Josh is really good at it, and I

679
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 8: think that's why they keep going to it because they

680
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 8: were such a high percentage team when they do that.

681
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 8: But I would love to see him, of course, throw

682
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 8: in a wrinkle here in there and catch the defense

683
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 8: nap and maybe snap off a big play in one

684
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 8: of those short yardage plays. So I know that's a risk,

685
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 8: but yeah, it was pretty harrowing last night trying to

686
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 8: watch those guys do the off the left side, off

687
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 8: the left side, off the left side, and those quarterback sneaks.

688
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 8: Everybody in the stadium and everybody at home watching around

689
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 8: the country knew it was coming. And that's that's why

690
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 8: it's frustrating when it doesn't work. But you got the

691
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 8: ball in your best player's hand, running your most high

692
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 8: percentage play, it's hard to argue with it. Certainly, you

693
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 8: can argue with it when it doesn't work, but man,

694
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 8: oh man, it's worked at a higher percentage than any

695
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 8: other play in the Bill's arsenal.

696
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think they finished the regular season second

697
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: and fourth down conversion percentage behind Washington. If not second,

698
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 2: they were in the top four. Let's go to Nick

699
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, NEX. What's up?

700
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: Nick?

701
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 14: More thing?

702
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 15: Guys? Hey?

703
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 14: First off, Steve, I met you and your family years

704
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 14: ago in Atlanta, had a sports fire when the Bills

705
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 14: were in the Super Bowl down here. Your guys were

706
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 14: little tikes number one and uh number two of friends

707
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 14: with John Davis.

708
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 16: My kids went through school with his kids down here

709
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 16: in Atlanta. I just thought, I don't know, it could

710
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 16: be me, but did it look like the game plan

711
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 16: or the play calling was a little bland for an

712
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 16: AFC playoff game. I thought they would would have pulled

713
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 16: out all the stops last night. Or is that because

714
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 16: of what Kansas City's defense was giving them number one

715
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 16: and number two. I'm in no position to put anyone down,

716
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 16: but uh, Elan looked like he was very tentative, like

717
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 16: he was scared playing out there. Why wouldn't they put

718
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 16: more a veteran like Cam Lewis in instead of He

719
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 16: looked thanks, guys.

720
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the answer there is Cam Lewis has

721
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 2: kind of transitioned to more of a safety by trade.

722
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: He does play in the dime package. He's also very small,

723
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: He's five nine three. I suppose if you wanted to

724
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: try your chances and match him up with Worthy, you

725
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 2: could do that. But Elim is an elite physical athlete

726
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 2: with top end speed and size, and they like taller,

727
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: longer players on the outside for obvious reasons. And look,

728
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: you get dropped into a game like that, you gotta

729
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 2: get your bearings fast. And they went after him early.

730
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: I mean they threw at him two of the first

731
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: three plays after he got in the game, and he

732
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 2: gave up completions, but he didn't give up anything over

733
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 2: the top, did draw pass interference penalty. Trying to roll

734
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: through my head all the things that happened with Elim,

735
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: but I thought he settled down as the game war on.

736
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: And to me, the back end, as Steve and I said,

737
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 2: we're all was already compromised just by the absence of

738
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: rap and Damar Hamlin was a guy they tried to

739
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 2: get matchups on because they know he's not fleet of foot,

740
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: and they have elite speed athletes with Hollywood Brown and

741
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 2: word so they got some matchups that they wanted, particularly

742
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 2: on the worthy touchdown to the pylon in a bunch

743
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: of formations. So there were deficiencies that were exposed by

744
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs play callers. Andy, I'll say this too.

745
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 8: You go back and look at the play calling offensively,

746
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 8: certainly it looks bland when you're handing it off ten times,

747
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 8: and that drive they had where Cook went in, it

748
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 8: looks like big boy football. But I would say this,

749
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 8: You go back and watch and you will find that

750
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 8: there are some plays where the Chiefs. You got to

751
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 8: give the Chiefs credit and played. They played good defense,

752
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 8: but man, if the players just execute better. The play

753
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 8: that was called, it was there, and it was they

754
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 8: had a really good plan, and you know it was

755
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 8: a microcosmo. Take that last fourth down play. The Bills

756
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 8: got caught unaware and the pressure came so fast because

757
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 8: they they they missed the protection or they misidentified the

758
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 8: rush and they got caught and Josh couldn't find Shakir

759
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 8: on the other side on the on the the swing route,

760
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 8: and yeah, Brady had it. They had it and they

761
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 8: just missed misaligned the protection. That's players not executing. So

762
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 8: you can say it was bland or whatever, but man

763
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 8: oh man, whatever they called it was there to be successful.

764
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 8: There were there were opportunities there for the team to

765
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 8: make plays, and the players just didn't get it done enough.

766
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 8: They got it done a lot, but couldn't get it

767
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 8: done enough.

768
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: They played very good, they did.

769
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 8: They played very well, but so did the team they're

770
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 8: playing against the other teams.

771
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: The opponent was air tight, Yeah, the other the opponent.

772
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 2: I can't think of three miscues that they made outside

773
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: of the miss fumble on the red option play that

774
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 2: was a mis cue, and then I'm trying to think

775
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 2: of I think there were like two or three that accounted.

776
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: The Bills had upwards of seven or eight.

777
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 8: They did a stop route on the outside and the

778
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 8: receiver stopped to come back and he stepped out of

779
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 8: bounds trying to catch it in the homes under threw

780
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 8: it a little bit. That would have been a big

781
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 8: play for them, and they couldn't get that.

782
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: And they had a dropped interception early in the game.

783
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 2: Brian Cook first drive of the game, he should have

784
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 2: had an I N T.

785
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 8: So all of that stuff mixed in there. It's I mean,

786
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 8: what are you gonna And I said, I said, I've

787
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 8: said this for three years after the Chiefs game, you

788
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 8: just got to you gotta do better against that team,

789
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 8: your best. They That's exactly what happened here in Week eleven.

790
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 8: The Bills played very well in that game. They played

791
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 8: their best. They were air tight, and they put pressure

792
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 8: on the Chiefs to score and it ended up being

793
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 8: a game ceiling interception. They were all over it. You

794
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 8: gotta play like that in the championship game, and the

795
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 8: Chiefs did. The Chiefs played way better in this championship

796
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 8: game than they did in Week eleven, no question about it.

797
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 8: The Bills didn't.

798
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 2: Let's squeeze in James here in Brockport before the break

799
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 2: would he got for his James.

800
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 17: Guys, thanks for taking my call. Just had a question

801
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 17: for you. On that fourth down play where we ran

802
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 17: the tush push, Josh got a little sideways and the

803
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 17: play got called dead.

804
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 18: The two refs came running down the line. The ref

805
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 18: where Josh was facing it looked like he gave us

806
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 18: the first down, and then the ref where Josh had

807
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 18: his back to he picked up the ball and marked

808
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 18: us a yard short. So I'm just wondering, why does

809
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 18: that ref get to override the other ref there and

810
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 18: mark us a yard short.

811
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 8: Problem probably has to do with the hash mark James,

812
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 8: if it's his hash mark, and it's not, though it's

813
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 8: on the other guy's hash mark, there is an.

814
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 2: I can watch it again.

815
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 8: They will come in and if one of them has

816
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 8: a better marker, is more sure about where the mark

817
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 8: goes than the other one, they go with the guy

818
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 8: who's more sure. I would imagine, but I do not know.

819
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 8: There's no there's no X, there's no explanation for it.

820
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 8: It's it's a hard thing to do, no question about it.

821
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 8: You got these guys, you got twenty two guys in

822
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 8: the way you can't see, and it's a guess.

823
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: Let's face it, it's a guess, yep, and they you

824
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: know this.

825
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 8: The the vertical view really looks like he got it.

826
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: But well, we know how the call went and we

827
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: know how the game turned out because of it, because

828
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 2: that was a very pivotal play in the game, and

829
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: especially one that was as tight as this one.

830
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 7: Was.

831
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,840

849
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 2: for us?

850
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 19: Mark, A good afternoon, gentlemen. Thanks for taking my call.

851
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 18: Two points.

852
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 19: I felt like taking that extra point off the board

853
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 19: and then chasing that point and then Casey converts theirs

854
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 19: and just kicks another pat and there's the game.

855
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 20: Yeah, that was it.

856
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: That's right, that was.

857
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 19: The That's it. It's as simple as that. All the

858
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 19: minutia things, and they got every razors and call like

859
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 19: they're going to get. They got every razor thin call.

860
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 19: The Bills received none. They did themselves no favors. To

861
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 19: last thing is they have no etceteran players aside from Josh.

862
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 19: You look at the fort the team's remaining the team

863
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 19: the Bills just beat they have. They're chalk full of

864
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 19: players defensively, offensively that keeps your offensive and defensive coordinators

865
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 19: up at night and giving them headaches. The Bills just

866
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 19: they're a collective more than a you know, they just

867
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 19: need at least one on defense, and you'd like Josh

868
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 19: to play with one at some point in his career.

869
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 19: Aside from Cookoo an amazing game. Thanks for taking my cloth.

870
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, I would agree.

871
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 8: I mean the Chiefs, I mean, Chris Jones is a

872
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 8: monster and he played like it.

873
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 2: They've got and Trent McDuffie is an all pro.

874
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 8: But I'll say this too, you're right on the offensive

875
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 8: side of the ball. I'll say this though, I shrugged

876
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 8: my shoulder. As part of what made this team so

877
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 8: fun and lovable and part you know, the enthusiasm, I

878
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 8: had for us because they were collective. You know, it

879
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 8: was all everybody. He had these guys. They were supposed

880
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 8: to finish third in the division. They were supposed to

881
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 8: stink offensively. Josh had nobody to He was never gonna work.

882
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 8: And it did work, and they were number two in

883
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 8: the league and scoring in the regular season. They were

884
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 8: scoring thirty points a game. Line again, and their offensive

885
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 8: line was elite. Uh So that was part of what

886
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 8: made this team feel different than years past, was the

887
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 8: makeup of it.

888
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: How they got it done.

889
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,720
Speaker 8: And so yeah, I mean when you when you step

890
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 8: back after it's all said and done and the razor

891
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 8: thin calls go the other way and it comes down

892
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 8: to two point conversions, you didn't get two point conversions

893
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 8: they did get and that's the razor thin.

894
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: You think, how could we done? Yeah? One more, one

895
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: got a little better. You know. That's where we're at.

896
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll we'll have a whole off season to

897
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 2: discuss it. And yeah, and listen, an elk pass rusher

898
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 2: would be great. I don't think there's a build.

899
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, the off season, I mean, we can we're we'll

900
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 8: probably put off talking about that for a minute. But yeah,

901
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 8: that's that's going to be the conversation going forward. You

902
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 8: always have that now, because the conversation always comes down

903
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 8: to a reaction.

904
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: To the last game you've finished that ended your seaton.

905
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: In this case, the Bills and the Chiefs and the

906
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Chiefs and the Chiefs.

907
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 8: You always figure out we got. If we did this,

908
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 8: it would have been different. If we did that, it

909
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 8: would have been different. There's in a game this closed

910
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 8: and it's always this way with Kansas City and the Bills.

911
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 8: Fifteen things go the other way and the game is different.

912
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: Fifteen of them and.

913
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 8: They're all this, and they're all minutia. And that's what

914
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 8: it's so hard to live with as Bills fans because

915
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 8: we never get those little minutia things to go our way, right,

916
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 8: And that's the frustrating part about it.

917
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: And that's.

918
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 8: So I'm yes, as a reaction to yesterday's game, you'd love, Yeah,

919
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 8: you'd love to having a guy like Chris Jones on

920
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 8: our on our defensive line because they you know it.

921
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 8: Sometimes it just feels like they're going through the motions

922
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 8: they didn't get, make anything, and impress the thing they

923
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 8: didn't do anything at Oliver gets on the gets on

924
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 8: the fumble. Sure, I don't know if they didn't bat

925
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 8: a pass, didn't got two sacks, seven quarterback hits. Yeah,

926
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 8: exactly what they got in Milano, got the sack. And

927
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 8: I'll say this too, Mahomes ran the football in certain

928
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 8: situations and it really hurt the Bills because that was

929
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 8: what all was there. That's what quarterbacks like that, That's

930
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 8: what quarterbacks like Mahomes and Josh did. Josh did the

931
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 8: exact same thing on a second eleven He ran for

932
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 8: thirteen laid in the game. They're gonna make plays like that,

933
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 8: whether you have a Chris Jones or Aaron Donald or whatever.

934
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 8: So that's yes, I agree with you. You'd love to have

935
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 8: a guy that's better than everybody else at his position.

936
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 8: But the Bills were that team there. They got where

937
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 8: they're at this year by doing it different than that.

938
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 8: And I don't know if you throw that plan out

939
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 8: the window just because I know you try to enhance it, right,

940
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 8: you didn't just because you got beat by razorin margin

941
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 8: in this last game. So it's it's difficult. It's a

942
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 8: really difficult conundrum because you were so wildly successful doing

943
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 8: it the way you did it this year, and then

944
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 8: when he come up a hair short, literally a hair short,

945
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 8: It's like, you don't you know the philosophy is still

946
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 8: sound even in defeat.

947
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 2: Let's go to Carolyn Tonawanda next. What's up Carol?

948
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 21: Hi?

949
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 22: Guys.

950
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 23: Yeah, it's a tough pill to swallow today, but you know,

951
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 23: I'm hoping Benford's okay. Didn't look there great on the

952
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 23: field yesterday, and I wish him the best. I just

953
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 23: want to thank the team for a while. It was

954
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 23: really a great and exciting season. I learned a lot

955
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 23: and it was amazing, and I wish them the best

956
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 23: moving forward. The other thing is I hope that Holland's

957
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 23: contracts get renews. He's really a fantastic blacker and a cutcher.

958
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 23: He's sure it certainly displayed it yesterday. I just have

959
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 23: two questions, were you I'm certainly I'm not one to criticize,

960
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 23: but I'm just wondering why they didn't spy Mahomes more.

961
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 23: I mean, I know there's only so many players you

962
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 23: could put on the field, and they did bracket kealthy,

963
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 23: but it seems that Mahomes had the ability to run

964
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 23: everywhere and just wait for play to develop and just

965
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,240
Speaker 23: sit back there in the pocket and throw the ball.

966
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 23: I did notice that when Milano really spied him a

967
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 23: couple times, he got frustrated and threw the ball out.

968
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 23: And my second question is, you know, as they started

969
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 23: shutting down our running play a little bit in the

970
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 23: second half, why we didn't revert to maybe throwing the

971
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 23: ball a little bit more. We were successful there a

972
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 23: few times. But thanks, I appreciate the season.

973
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 2: Bye. Yeah, thanks for the call, Carol. I'll address your

974
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 2: first point about the spy. They did spy him at times,

975
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 2: but again, as we said earlier, there were some things

976
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 2: that I think they felt they needed to cover up

977
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 2: on the back end with Benford injured wrap out, and

978
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 2: I thought that they try to protect against getting beat

979
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 2: over the top more. That left them vulnerable, because if

980
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 2: you were spying Patrick Mahomes, that's one more guy you're

981
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 2: taken out of your coverage. And I think with some

982
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 2: of the deficiencies on the back end because of the

983
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 2: people they were missing, they didn't feel they could do

984
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 2: that all the time. They did it some of the time,

985
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 2: maybe not as much as they would have preferred, but

986
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 2: they felt they were a little short handed on the

987
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 2: back end and had to cover that up. And then

988
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 2: also part of the reason that Mahomes had so much

989
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 2: running room, the defensive ends had a devil of a

990
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 2: time staying up. I don't know if it was compromised

991
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:36,760
Speaker 2: by the footing. I was down on the field before

992
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 2: the game. It was hard as a rock. Cleats were

993
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 2: not digging into the turf the same way they do

994
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: on a warmer day. The grass was pretty much dead.

995
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 2: It wasn't growing anymore, the growing seasons over, and so

996
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 2: the turf was compromised for being able to dig in

997
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 2: and get good footing. And Greg Russeau was looking like

998
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 2: he was stepping on banana peels half a dozen times

999
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 2: in that game. As soon as he went down on

1000
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 2: the ground, Patrick Mahomes took the wide open grass in

1001
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 2: front of him when they when he wasn't spied, and

1002
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: that's why he ran for as much yardage as he did.

1003
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 2: You want to address her second question there.

1004
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, the second one about the run defense when they

1005
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 8: got when it got stiff, what was the adjustment or

1006
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 8: why didn't they adjust and start throwing the football at

1007
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 8: I'll say this, the adjustments that they made, particularly at

1008
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 8: halftime when they came out and ran the ball extremely

1009
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 8: well in the second half.

1010
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 1: I thought they.

1011
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 8: Got away from it a little too soon, and I,

1012
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 8: you know, I don't know why that didn't happen. I

1013
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 8: was looking for him to run it even more so,

1014
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 8: I don't know. Maybe we saw it different ways.

1015
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: I just know this.

1016
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 8: When you go back and look at this film, and

1017
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 8: I'll say this, this is universal. The Chiefs are this way,

1018
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 8: the Eagles will be this way, the Commanders will be

1019
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 8: this way, and certainly the Bills will be this way.

1020
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,760
Speaker 8: You go back and look, whether you win or big

1021
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 8: like the Eagles did, or whether you lose by a

1022
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 8: razor thin like the Bills did, you're gonna look at

1023
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 8: it and say, man, and from the first play all

1024
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 8: the way through to the last play, you're gonna think, ah,

1025
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,439
Speaker 8: we just missed this. We didn't do this right, didn't

1026
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 8: do that right. Even when you win big, there's stuff

1027
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 8: like that, and they'll go through that, the Bills will.

1028
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 8: But when push comes to shove, it's usually almost universally

1029
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 8: the players looking at themselves going, man, if i'd have

1030
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,959
Speaker 8: done that better, the play would have worked.

1031
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here. More of your phone calls

1032

1042
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 2: just take a phone call here real quick to start

1043
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 2: our number two into Carl in depute. What do you

1044
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 2: go for us? Carl, you're on One Bill's Live.

1045
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: Yes.

1046
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 11: First of all, i'd like to thank you guys for

1047
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 11: a great season, the great show, and you guys tell

1048
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 11: it the way it is. I'd like to thank you

1049
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 11: for that. And I'd like to thank the Buffalo Bills

1050
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 11: for overachieve and I thought they played well above what

1051
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 11: we all expected. And just as soon as we get

1052
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,720
Speaker 11: a little bit of defensive help like a Miles Garrett,

1053
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 11: a Boso type lineman defensively, I think we'll be right

1054
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 11: back there. We need defensive help, and I think I

1055
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 11: did not hear I watched the game explicity. I didn't

1056
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 11: hear up Andessa's name mentioned. I didn't hear Risseau's name mentioned.

1057
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 11: I didn't hear these gentlemen's names mentioned. A play like that,

1058
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 11: you got, they have we when the defense catches up

1059
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 11: to us, I think catches up to the offense will

1060
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 11: win it all. And that's all I got.

1061
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, thanks for the camera.

1062
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's yes, Carl. You're right.

1063
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 8: If if the defense put up numbers commensurate with the

1064
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 8: offense this year, yeah, they would have been unbeatable.

1065
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: But that's what you go with.

1066
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 8: The defense was a takeaway oriented defense, a playmaking defense.

1067
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 8: It wasn't a suffocating sack you know, no yards given

1068
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 8: up defense. That was the recipe they used this year,

1069
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 8: and they got exposed by a high powered elite quarterback

1070
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 8: with some elite weapons at a time when you don't

1071
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 8: want to do that. And even so, you're talking about

1072
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 8: extra point conversions and turnover on downs that won this game.

1073
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 8: It couldn't have been any close than it was, and

1074
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 8: the Chiefs come out on top. Frust The thing that

1075
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 8: gets it where you start to think that it's a

1076
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 8: it's because it's happened with that same team four times

1077
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 8: in a row.

1078
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: But all these instances.

1079
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 8: Are much much more different than we as fans and

1080
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 8: media attests to the locker rooms are different, the weapons

1081
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 8: are different, the feel is different in the locker room.

1082
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 8: It feels like a different team every year. So as

1083
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 8: as routine or repetitive, maddeningly repetitive as this Chief's game

1084
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,280
Speaker 8: is in the playoffs every year, they're all very different games.

1085
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 2: Let's go to Jack in Orchard Park. What's up Jack?

1086
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 15: Hey, Chris, I got to shut the TV off, So

1087
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 15: I think I have an answer for the problem of

1088
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 15: word to place the ball. You know, we should take

1089
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 15: it out of the ref's hands. They could weave anything

1090
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 15: into the football, so it shows electronically. There's no problem

1091
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 15: with that. They do it in tennis, they've done it

1092
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 15: in hockey. I don't see any reason why they couldn't

1093
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 15: do it in football.

1094
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks Jack, Yeah, you'd like to think that. And

1095
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 2: technology is on the way for that. The league announced

1096
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 2: that last year. It hasn't been finalized yet. And the

1097
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 2: reason that they haven't adopted the same technology that you

1098
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 2: see in tennis and hockey and in soccer for goal

1099
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 2: line technology or touch line technology is because in most

1100
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 2: cases the line and the ball are unobstructed because they're

1101
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 2: not in anyone's possession, and because of that, it's much

1102
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 2: easier for that technology to work in those instances. Obviously,

1103
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 2: the ball in football is being held by someone and

1104
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 2: there's sometimes as we see in those sneak situations, there

1105
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 2: is a massive humanity around it. So it is a

1106
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 2: little bit different in football in terms of applying that

1107
00:56:56,200 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 2: technology than it is in tennis, soccer and other sports

1108
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 2: where they have utilized it's hockey for goal line technology,

1109
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. So that's the reason I don't

1110
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 2: think it's reached football yet, but hopefully it reaches it

1111
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 2: sooner rather than later, because if we have something else

1112
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 2: that is added to the NFL because of something that

1113
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 2: negatively happened to the Bills, whether it's changing the overtime

1114
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 2: rules or changing this over here, or now changing where

1115
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 2: the ball is spotted by a human being who's twenty

1116
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 2: five yards away and clearly doesn't know where it is,

1117
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lose my mind. I'm tired of the Bills

1118
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,959
Speaker 2: being the reason that changes are made in the league.

1119
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 8: Get it right, they I think it particularly in championship

1120
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 8: games and playoff games, and we saw it. They need

1121
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 8: to make it possible for the skycam to be right

1122
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 8: above the line of scrimmage.

1123
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: It's that simple. You got to put the camera right

1124
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: above it.

1125
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 8: If you know it's going to be a short yard

1126
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 8: dis these tush push plays that are so prominent, put.

1127
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: The camera up there for crying out loud, I mean.

1128
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 2: Do something to help officials that are in no position

1129
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 2: twenty five yards away, standing on a sideline to spot

1130
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 2: a football in a mass of humanity. It's just it's

1131
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: it's archaic, it's obsolete, and quite frankly, it's ridiculous. That's

1132
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 2: my two cents of the day. Josh Allen's addressing the

1133
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 2: media here on locker clean out day, So let's go

1134
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 2: there now.

1135
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 24: The first time a few ended abruptly like this. But

1136
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 24: how much do you think this one? Knowing how specialist

1137
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 24: team was Mike Linger a little longer.

1138
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 22: I means every year, right, there's I feel like I've

1139
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 22: said this every years thirty one unhappy teams. But I

1140
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 22: will say this about our team, emphasis on team. I

1141
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 22: think this is one of the more special units I've

1142
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 22: ever been around in my entire life, from Pop Warner

1143
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 22: through high school through college. In the NFL, guys truly

1144
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 22: cared about each other. You know, everyone kind of understood

1145
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 22: their role and their assignment, and.

1146
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 7: You know, we had a.

1147
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 22: Huge internal belief when we all got here for camp,

1148
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 22: and we work extremely hard to get to where we got.

1149
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 22: You know, we're constantly knocking at the door, and you know,

1150
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 22: when you're playing a team like the Chiefs who have

1151
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 22: done it so well for so long, you got to

1152
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 22: not just knock, you got to kick the door down.

1153
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 7: And we didn't do that.

1154
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 25: Knowing that the group is not going to return the

1155
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 25: way that it is today, it's just not a reality

1156
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 25: in the NFL. How do you replicate that next season?

1157
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 22: Well, I think, uh, again, I don't know what's going

1158
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 22: on front office wise of who's staying, who's coming in,

1159
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 22: and I guess we'll all figure that out as as

1160
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 22: time roles. But just making sure that we understand the

1161
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 22: vibe and really just the the feel that we had

1162
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 22: in this locker room and just try to, you know,

1163
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 22: have our core guys replicate that with anybody new that

1164
00:59:56,320 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 22: comes in, and whoever comes into this building understands, you know,

1165
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 22: what it what it is to be a member of

1166
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 22: this locker room, to come in here and be themselves

1167
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 22: each and every day, to be the best version of

1168
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 22: version of themselves. And you know that's all we can

1169
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 22: do is just go out there and play hard for

1170
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 22: each other.

1171
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 25: You remember most about this group this.

1172
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 22: Year are the memories that we made, not just on

1173
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 22: the football field, but off you know, in the locker room,

1174
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 22: poker nights, QB dinners, our our holiday parties. Like this

1175
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 22: is an unbelievable group to be a part of. Love

1176
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 22: each and every one of those guys in that locker room.

1177
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 22: And you know, it's unfortunate that we didn't get it done,

1178
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 22: but I'm very proud of how far we did come.

1179
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 26: Joe, Joe Brady did not do anything for those team,

1180
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 26: but we obviously New York heading knowing that he'll be back.

1181
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 9: Just what can it do to continue to.

1182
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 26: Have a continuity with Joe?

1183
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 7: And you know what does that mean for you?

1184
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 22: Yeah, not not implementing a new offense, but really building

1185
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 22: off of what we've put in throughout the year and

1186
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 22: things that we like and we dislike, and just trying

1187
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 22: to tweak certain things. I thought this year statistically if

1188
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 22: you look at it, it's one of the whatever you

1189
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 22: can say about it, but then goals to score one

1190
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 22: more point than our opponent and we didn't get that done.

1191
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 22: So throughout the entire offseason it's going to be focusing

1192
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 22: on what can we do to make that a reality?

1193
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 27: How do you square And I'm not placing with a competitor,

1194
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 27: and you knowing that everything's set up for you having

1195
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 27: the ball, the offense having the ball put the game

1196
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 27: on the line and not getting if not in the offense,

1197
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 27: not getting an accomplish, how do you swear that.

1198
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 7: As a competitor, Yeah, it sucks.

1199
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 22: You know, you keep going back and thinking about what

1200
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 22: you could have done differently plays even throughout the game.

1201
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 22: You know it's something that's so little, but dropping the

1202
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 22: snap on that second six, turning it to a third

1203
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 22: and nine where you know, I probably we catch the

1204
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 22: ball and I darted to Coop and it's third and

1205
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 22: one instead of third and nine. Things that again, it's

1206
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 22: not gonna be in the stat sheet, But as a competitor,

1207
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 22: I think of those things of like, man, only if

1208
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 22: I could have done this differently? You know, And again,

1209
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 22: anytime you lose, you're gonna have those thoughts in your

1210
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 22: head and just understanding that you know, you're not promised

1211
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 22: opportunities like that all the time. You know, I promise

1212
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 22: to get into the playoffs each and every year. And again,

1213
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 22: you can't just knock on the door.

1214
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:33,919
Speaker 7: You got to kick it down.

1215
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 22: And that's something that I feel like all off season

1216
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 22: is what we're going to try to do.

1217
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 7: Where does this group find that internal belief.

1218
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 20: That you are going to do that, you are going

1219
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 20: to kick that door.

1220
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 25: Down, particularly against that opponent.

1221
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:47,959
Speaker 22: Yeah, I think it's just the trust and the faith

1222
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 22: that we have in one another, how hard we work.

1223
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 7: You know, it's it's.

1224
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 22: Hard to win in this league. It's hard to win

1225
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 22: super Bowls in this league. We understand that. And again,

1226
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 22: when you're playing a team that's now been to three

1227
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 22: in a row, you gotta you gotta go out there and.

1228
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 7: You gotta beat him. You gotta take it from him.

1229
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 7: And we didn't do.

1230
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 19: That because no off season, just starting to figure out

1231
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 19: how to kick that door in.

1232
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 26: How do you balance you know, some time to decompress,

1233
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 26: some time to self replect, like what does the next

1234
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 26: even week look.

1235
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 7: Like for you?

1236
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 22: Uh, get away, let the body heal, got bumped and

1237
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:26,919
Speaker 22: bruises from last night.

1238
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 7: Took a few shots, and.

1239
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 22: Just trying to make sure that my body's in as

01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 22: week or two and then just kind of getting back

1242
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 22: to work.

1243
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 28: Needing anything.

1244
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 23: Not a fuld us off season when you mentioned.

1245
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 22: That, or uh no, nothing nothing, nothing medical like that.

1246
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 22: Just throughout the year, just to wear and tear of

1247
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 22: it and just making sure that the body is good

1248
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 22: to go.

1249
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 29: And are both pending free agents. You had a whole

1250
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 29: year with Mac, happy year with a Mari. What have

1251
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 29: they meant to you?

1252
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 7: Oh, They've been. They've been so much.

1253
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 22: Max's juice and energy throughout the entire locker room. It's infectious,

1254
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 22: the way that he carries himself. He's a competitor. And

1255
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 22: then with Coop obviously coming in about halfway, I've got

1256
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 22: nothing but love and respect for Mari Cooper. I will

1257
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 22: never in my life say a bad thing about him.

1258
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 22: For him to come into this situation and understand the

1259
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 22: role that he was brought here to do.

1260
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 7: Uh, he is a.

1261
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 22: True football player, a true teammate, and I'm just honored

1262
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 22: to share the field with with him as well as Mac,

1263
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 22: But yeah, who knows what happens in the future. And

1264
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 22: again I got nothing but love and respect for both

1265
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 22: those guys.

1266
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 25: Could capter a really strong season with a great game

1267
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 25: last night. His development and growth in this offense, What's

1268
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 25: he What's he meant to the group overall?

1269
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 7: Ah?

1270
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 22: He he was playing like a man possessed really the

1271
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 22: entire year. I mean the way that he ran the ball,

1272
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 22: you know, he ran angry. That play that he made

1273
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 22: last night on fourth down, which again was a very

1274
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 22: it was an unbelievable play for him reaching out like

1275
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 22: that on fourth down, given the moment. There was a

1276
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 22: special play made by a special player, you know. And

1277
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 22: every year that he's been in the league, he's gotten

1278
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 22: better and you know, looking forward to continue in that

1279
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 22: next year.

1280
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 25: Dab took that play last night hard. Through two years

1281
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 25: and being a first round pick, his involvement in this offense,

1282
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,959
Speaker 25: it maybe hasn't has been as consistent as outsiders thought

1283
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 25: it might have been. What particularly needs to happen with

1284
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 25: him to kind of grow him into that more consistent

1285
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 25: threat for this offense moving forward.

1286
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 7: I gotta be better for him.

1287
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 22: I didn't feel like I put him in enough good

1288
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 22: situations this year, ball placement wise, even the one last

1289
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 22: night across the middle, I left it behind him, allowed

1290
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 22: thirty two to make a play on it, you know,

1291
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 22: and I again, he can sit there and think about that.

1292
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 7: Play over and over. But I gotta be better.

1293
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 22: For him, and that's that's what it comes down to,

1294
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 22: and getting him, you know, more involved. I know he's

1295
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 22: been battling throughout the entire year, bumps and bruises and

1296
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 22: probably games that he shouldn't have played he was in.

1297
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 22: But he's a tough sucker and I got nothing but

1298
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 22: again love for him. How he's approached this year, He's

1299
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 22: gonna be He's gonna be so much better next year,

1300
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 22: you know, let his body heal up, and I'm gonna

1301
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 22: be better better for him, And I can promise you that.

1302
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 9: To a lot of guys in.

1303
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 26: The locker room today, just the reiterated phrase over and

1304
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 26: over was that as long as we have seventeen we

1305
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 26: have a chance. I guess, just what does that mean

1306
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 26: to you to know that you have so much support

1307
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 26: from your teammates in the locker room that they just

1308
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,959
Speaker 26: continuously reiterate that time and time again.

1309
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean, I think it's That's why I play

1310
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 22: this game, is to be in situations like that. Obviously

1311
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 22: you want to get him done, but to have thetant

1312
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 22: the trust from your teammates, That's that's all I care about.

1313
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 22: To be honest, I'd all the outside noise and no

1314
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 22: offense to the media, but you know, the only thing

1315
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 22: I care about is is those fifty two other guys

1316
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 22: on this in this locker room, as well as the

1317
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 22: fifteen or twenty or so practice squad guys, and what

1318
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 22: they think of me and how I can be the

1319
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 22: best teammate, the best leader that I can be, So

1320
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 22: that that's that's the most important thing for me.

1321
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 27: Offensive line, we'll be back next season.

1322
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 26: How does that help set up you guys.

1323
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 8: For success in twenty twenty five?

1324
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 22: I think again, just the way that we can now

1325
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 22: add to this offense instead of completely putting new stuff

1326
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 22: in with obviously Joe being his first year as the

1327
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 22: full time coordinator. So yeah, I think we've got such

1328
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 22: a good ground level for you know, what we know

1329
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 22: we can do well and then just building off of that.

1330
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 22: So I'm so proud of our line this year. They've

1331
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 22: they've played fantastic again, another year where just the numbers

1332
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 22: of those guys being able to play the entire season.

1333
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 22: It's it's a special group.

1334
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 23: Feelings a little different than a lot of guys.

1335
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 27: Said that sense from your leadership, to learn anything about yourself.

1336
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 22: This year, I don't know if I can answer that, honestly,

1337
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 22: Uh not, not quite sure if I did or not.

1338
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 7: You know, I'm just.

1339
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 22: I'm still working, still trying to be the best that

1340
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 22: I can be. A lot to learn from, obviously from

1341
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 22: this this season, this last game. You know, all all year,

1342
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 22: all last offseason focused on making good decisions and trying

1343
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 22: to turn the ball over less. I think we did

1344
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 22: a great job of that as an offense. I hate

1345
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 22: that I'm the only one that turned the ball over

1346
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 22: in this which again I don't hate it, but I

1347
01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 22: do hate it. I don't want to be the one

1348
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 22: and that's doing it. I know we turn it over

1349
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 22: a lot less than we have in the previous years,

1350
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 22: and maybe just understanding the flow of the game better

1351
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,759
Speaker 22: and seeing it better on the from.

1352
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 7: The defensive lens.

1353
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 22: But again, I think you incorporate that with the guys

1354
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 22: on the field with you and the offensive coordinator that

1355
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 22: we got here, and so I think still staying on

1356
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 22: top of that as well, staying on top of my mechanics,

1357
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 22: something that's obviously that I'll be doing.

1358
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 28: There's about that you've gotten into the off season, sometimes

1359
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 28: with very specific goals.

1360
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 26: If I want, I've heard this, I want, I've heard that.

1361
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 26: I don't turn off since then, when in the past,

1362
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 26: do you have anything that's the top of mind right

1363
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 26: now I want to focus on this for myself.

1364
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 22: Or yeah, I think mechanically, just still staying on it,

1365
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 22: making sure that I'm seeing the right people and being

1366
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 22: as as efficient as a passer as I can be. Again,

1367
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,879
Speaker 22: there's times throughout the year where I'm working in practice

1368
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 22: and just things they don't feel right, and it's just

1369
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 22: like I'm working all week to try to make sure

1370
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 22: that I get that feeling of the ball coming off

1371
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 22: the hand clean. And I think really in the early

1372
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 22: and early in the season, it's what it felt like,

1373
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 22: and then late in the season was what it felt like.

1374
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 22: But in that middle part, making sure that I can

1375
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 22: stay with it.

1376
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 24: Josh, you said offense to the media, especially guy that

1377
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 24: hostly wrong when looking at this team myself included. Can

1378
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 24: you reflect at some point have some perspective in doing well,

1379
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 24: even despite what happened last night, that of what.

1380
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,759
Speaker 27: This team was capable of accomplishing.

1381
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 24: In spite of the odds.

1382
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:40,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think.

1383
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 22: This this room, this locker room, we didn't listen to

1384
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 22: the outside noise of who was gonna win this and that.

1385
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 22: Guys just worked hard and you know, we gave ourselves

1386
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 22: a shot to make a Super Bowl and you know,

1387
01:10:58,600 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 22: ultimately we didn't get the job done.

1388
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 7: That's all all we're gonna remember.

1389
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 22: But again, the pride that I have in this team,

1390
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 22: in this locker room and these players, it's it's a

1391
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 22: special group, and just said that we couldn't get it done.

1392
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 30: Josh, you're taking time to praise Bill's Mafia throughout the

1393
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 30: year to still see fans at the airport last night

1394
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 30: despite the disappointment what's that what's.

1395
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 31: That name for a player?

1396
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 22: I mean, it just shows why Bill's Mafia is the

1397
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 22: best fan base in the world, even through all the

1398
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 22: hurt and disappointment that they've they've had to endure really

1399
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 22: for the entirety existence of the Buffalo Bills, and you know,

1400
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 22: we're going to continue to to turn every stone over

1401
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 22: and cross the t's, dot the i's and do whatever

1402
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 22: we can to to try to bring a Limbardi back

1403
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 22: here to Western New York.

1404
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 7: You talk about thinking about plays you could have made,

1405
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 7: which you.

1406
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 11: Would have made.

1407
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 22: It's now been a couple of years where those fourth

1408
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 22: quarter drafts haven't gone your way in the playoffs.

1409
01:11:58,240 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 7: Can you attribute that to anything?

1410
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 32: And how how do you.

1411
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 7: Change them in the future so those turn in your favor.

1412
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 22: I mean, yeah, just making sure that we're studying them

1413
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 22: and and understanding the situation and the defense that we're

1414
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 22: playing against. And again, I don't think it. There's a

1415
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 22: couple of things that could have went differently. You know,

1416
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 22: we had a tip ball that I was trying to

1417
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 22: get to. Curtis defense makes plays too, so they they

1418
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 22: made more plays than we did.

1419
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 8: Josh except to become a freege and put his nights.

1420
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:32,480
Speaker 7: To this team.

1421
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 22: I think he's meant a lot to this team. I

1422
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 22: think he's meant a lot to the city. You know,

1423
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 22: his stories one of the greatest stories of all time.

1424
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 22: You know, he's such a special human being and he's

1425
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 22: using all of his uh, you know, influence in a

1426
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 22: positive light.

1427
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 7: It's not easy to do what he's done.

1428
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,680
Speaker 22: And I command him so much as a as a

1429
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 22: person as a player, you know, for going out there

1430
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 22: and continuing to play extremely hard, and you know he's

1431
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:03,759
Speaker 22: he's a special one, Josh.

1432
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,560
Speaker 26: His rookie clients had a lot of really key contributor

1433
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 26: What crank you the most about his early classicmainia?

1434
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 7: You know, I think you didn't really feel like there

1435
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,679
Speaker 7: were rookies all that much. You know, I think uh.

1436
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 22: Ray Davis coming in and being kind of the the

1437
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 22: hammer to our run game. And Keon obviously, you know,

1438
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 22: was out for a few games, but I thought he

1439
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 22: made some spectacular plays throughout the season and it's gonna

1440
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:33,799
Speaker 22: be fun to continue to work.

1441
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 7: With him, you know.

1442
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 22: And defensively, we had a lot of young guys that

1443
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 22: contributed a lot, So just keep incorporating them and making

1444
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 22: sure that we're we're developing them the right way, and

1445
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 22: just try to get back on track for next year.

1446
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 29: Josh, all that was made about leadership coming in the

1447
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 29: year and just you and Terrell were named the leaders

1448
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 29: and you evolved your how you evolved have evolved as

1449
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 29: a leader. What did you learn about yourself as a leader,

1450
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 29: if anything, this year?

1451
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:06,160
Speaker 22: Learned that you know, it's not just uh the leaders

1452
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 22: that matter it's it's everyone.

1453
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 7: It's it takes everyone.

1454
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 22: It takes a whole village, you know, and that's why

1455
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 22: we kind of have the leadership council that we do,

1456
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 22: and obviously mean TV being the only captains on this team,

1457
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 22: but we weren't the only captains on this team. There's

1458
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:23,799
Speaker 22: a lot of guys in this locker room that everyone

1459
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 22: looks up to and respects, you know, their voice, and uh,

1460
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 22: you know, I'm just fortunate to have the guys that

1461
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 22: we did. You know, it took a village to to

1462
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 22: get the right messaging out and to get everyone to

1463
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 22: buy in and believe.

1464
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 7: But uh, I think we did that this year.

1465
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 26: You have leadership from your perspective.

1466
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 10: How did Sean leave this team?

1467
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 13: They say, like, how do you feel like?

1468
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 14: What was the year like for him?

1469
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 22: It's gonna sound weird. I'm just so proud of coach.

1470
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 22: You know, I don't know why he's not recognized more

1471
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 22: in the awards stuff, and that's the creuddy thing about it.

1472
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 22: But you know, time in and time out, he's got

1473
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 22: us in position. You know, we've won the a f

1474
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 22: C East the last how many every how many so

1475
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 22: years and obviously we're we're fighting.

1476
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 7: To get over that home, you know, and he he

1477
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 7: gives his life to this.

1478
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,599
Speaker 22: I will tell you that he's so committed to doing

1479
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:27,639
Speaker 22: whatever it takes. And to see him adapt and really

1480
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:30,879
Speaker 22: grow as a coach has been fun to watch.

1481
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 32: That growth.

1482
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 22: It's the growth, yeah, from my first year here to now,

1483
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 22: and the way that he's kind of let players be them,

1484
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 22: really give us the keys to the team and lead

1485
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 22: it from down in that locker room. Uh.

1486
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 7: You know it's not easy to do that. And I

1487
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 7: got I respect hell out of coach.

1488
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 25: What's what's your confidence level, Josh that he's going to

1489
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 25: be the guy that does get you over that home?

1490
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:04,680
Speaker 7: Extremely confident. I don't know.

1491
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 22: I got a little banged up hand right now, risk,

1492
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 22: So I got to talk with docs right now and

1493
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 22: figured it out.

1494
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 7: But we'll see.

1495
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 14: I guess he's choos how much pressure scale to be perfect?

1496
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean that's why they're the champs for a reason.

1497
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 22: You have to go into it knowing that you have

1498
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 22: to be damn near perfect to win that football game.

1499
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 7: And you know, we just didn't play well enough. Oh

1500
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 7: it's brand new. It was just right at the goal line.

1501
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:46,640
Speaker 22: The two point played before halftime got crunched up a

1502
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 22: little bit.

1503
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 7: I was able to finish the game, but just some

1504
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 7: swelling and stuff today, So I guess all.

1505
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,799
Speaker 2: Right, that's Josh Allen dressing that his wrist got banged

1506
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 2: up on the goal line play, got crunched, probably between

1507
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 2: a helmet and something else, so he's gonna have to

1508
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 2: get it checked by the docks. See how it is said.

1509
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 2: He was able to finish the game, so hopefully it's

1510
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 2: nothing serious and has a resolute confidence in his head

1511
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 2: coach that he is going to get them over the

1512
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,759
Speaker 2: hump at some point here. We have to take a break,

1513
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:16,559
Speaker 2: but we are going to take your phone calls when

1514
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 2: we come back. We'll get back to the locker cleanout

1515
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 2: podium as well for some more sound. But your phone

1516
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 2: calls are up next here on a Buffalo Football Monday

1517
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo

1518
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 2: Bills Radio. This week's sufficient drive of the game presented

1519
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,880
Speaker 2: by a National Grid proud partner of the Buffalo Bills.

1520
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 2: Fourth quarter, nine plays, seventy yards, took three point fifty

1521
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 2: nine off the clock, and Alan with a laser to

1522
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 2: Samuel for a four yard touchdown to tie the game

1523
01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 2: at twenty nine. Yeah, one of Allen's better throws of

1524
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 2: the game. His best throw is probably the touchdown pass

1525
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:08,679
Speaker 2: to Hollins. Yeah, but that was a good play too.

1526
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: Somebody just put this, I don't even know about this

1527
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: on on social.

1528
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 8: It's the Chiefs are two overtime losses away from playing

1529
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:23,719
Speaker 8: in seven straight Super Bowls.

1530
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 2: Well, they lost to the Patriots Patriots off sides and

1531
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 2: then the BEng loss to the Bengals in overtime. Bill,

1532
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 2: So think about that. The only two playoff games they

1533
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 2: have lost in Arrowhead needed overtime to pull it off.

1534
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 2: The Bills lost three and the Bills lost to them

1535
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 2: in over time. Going toss games to the Chiefs, right, yeah,

1536
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:52,759
Speaker 2: I mean the title game in twenty twenty, the Chiefs

1537
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 2: beat them handily.

1538
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, they lost by fourteen fourteen.

1539
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 8: That's right, because the Bills came back the next regular

1540
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 8: season beat them by sixteen. You have to beat him

1541
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 8: by double digits, so you don't beat him because I mean.

1542
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, let's go to the phones and to Kevin

1543
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 2: in Florida. What do you got for us? Kevin?

1544
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 30: Hey, guys, any we'll call here saying that Stevie, you

1545
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 30: need to be in the Hall of Fame, but of

1546
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 30: course we have no control over that. But hey, so

1547
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 30: the lack of physicality in the front four is awful, right,

1548
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 30: I mean, we need to make a home run trade

1549
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 30: in the off season. I get you know, they're living

1550
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 30: on the turnover battle and all that kind of stuff,

1551
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 30: but we need something up front, give the house to get,

1552
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 30: you know, Miles Garrett or Max Crosby at this point whatever.

1553
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 31: I don't think we.

1554
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 30: Need to resign Russell Douglas or Demark because Demark can't

1555
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 30: stop a nosebleed. For what I'm concerned, we need to

1556
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,560
Speaker 30: go as Wrath and Bishop and try to sign a

1557
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 30: competencing safety. We're way too slow on defense and Tyer

1558
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 30: should never see the field in a Bill's uniform.

1559
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 7: Again.

1560
01:19:57,520 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 30: I think we need to go get a true number

1561
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 30: one Rode receiver. And I know this is a hot

1562
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 30: take today. I know what Josh just said, but we

1563
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 30: need to get rid of Sean McDermott and hire somebody

1564
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 30: like Cliff Kingsbury. I know what Cliff did in Arizona's

1565
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 30: last season, but he also had Kyler Murray's quarterback. Something

1566
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:14,639
Speaker 30: hot and change.

1567
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 2: But I understand what you're saying, Kevin, but look, you

1568
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 2: were just the second highest scoring team in football with

1569
01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 2: one of the most brilliant young offensive mines in the

1570
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 2: league in Joe Brady. That's number one. Number two. You

1571
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 2: have a head coach who's won eleven games or more

1572
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 2: each of the last five seasons. The only team that's

1573
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,680
Speaker 2: beaten the Chiefs in the last twenty three games that

1574
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 2: they've played in which Patrick Mahomes has started are the

1575
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 2: Bills with McDermott as your head coach. And I mean

1576
01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 2: you're taking two swings at him in the ANFC title games.

1577
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 8: Yes, what did he do yesterday that made you think

1578
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 8: he's not the guy?

1579
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 30: So I think there were two things. I'm okay. I'm

1580
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 30: okay with going for two when they had the defensive

1581
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:03,839
Speaker 30: all sides, and you know, we moved it to the one.

1582
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 30: I think after that, I think we were chasing points.

1583
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 30: And I also think that, you know, we should have

1584
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 30: taken Kyer off the field. I get that JaMarcus might

1585
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 30: not be an upgrade. I totally get that right, but

1586
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 30: I just don't think that there was enough of a

1587
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 30: shift in the second or really kind of late in

1588
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 30: the first and a little bit in the second half

1589
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 30: to where it was, Hey, we need to change what

1590
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 30: we're doing on defense. Kelsey isn't destroying us, but everybody

1591
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 30: else is.

1592
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's the thing, Kevin. You can't cover up everything.

1593
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 2: And look, I agree with you. I think they do

1594
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 2: need to get better on the back end of the defense.

1595
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 2: And Steve and I both share the same opinion that

1596
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 2: they need to get faster on defense too. But they

1597
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 2: got two stops in the third quarter. Kelsey didn't really

1598
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 2: hurt them at all in the game, and he's and

1599
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 2: he's taken over playoff games as we've seen over several years.

1600
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 2: So you got that buttoned up, and you had to

1601
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 2: cover up on the back end because of the injury

1602
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 2: to Benford. And yeah, Elam is an ideal, but he's

1603
01:21:56,479 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 2: a he's a physical, elite athlete that after he settled

1604
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 2: into the game, played a little bit better and they

1605
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 2: got two stops in the third quarter to Forest punts.

1606
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:08,600
Speaker 1: That's a good phone call. I get it.

1607
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 8: And all your stuff about the personnelity, yes, and and

1608
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 8: then that game yesterday that prob that is all true,

1609
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 8: no question. I'll say this though, I'm I think when

1610
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 8: it comes down to end game like personnel stuff. When

1611
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 8: you start getting guys dropped, going down and you got

1612
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 8: guys that are waiting to come in and which guys

1613
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:29,640
Speaker 8: they stuff, I don't know. As you and me, I

1614
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 8: think we've got to defer to what the coaches know

1615
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 8: to be their best option. They're not going to put

1616
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 8: anybody out there that's a liability or unless they're unless

1617
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 8: they have They're going with their best option, the most

1618
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 8: prepared option, the guy they trust the most, and and

1619
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 8: whether they can play or not, that's what they're left with.

1620
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 8: So I'm on all the other stuff, you know, I

1621
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 8: think that's you're not going to fire your head coach.

1622
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 8: I think that's the wrong move because of a substitution

1623
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 8: problem when you got injury on on a game where

1624
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 8: you gotta win. They're trying, they're trying to do the

1625
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 8: I think you got to trust they know their best

1626
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 8: option is on the field. Now we may not like

1627
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 8: the option, and they may not like it anymore than

1628
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 8: we do, but that's what they that's you know, and

1629
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 8: when push comes hump, they gotta do something. They got

1630
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 8: to put eleven guys out there, so they went with

1631
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:22,639
Speaker 8: the guy they thought best. And that's and listen, I'll

1632
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 8: say this, and I know there's a lot of people

1633
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:28,560
Speaker 8: out there who are always on this train. I'll just

1634
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 8: say this about McDermott, and I know everybody gets on

1635
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 8: us sometimes on social for for you know, pumping his tires.

1636
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 8: They don't get near the run they've had over the

1637
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:40,680
Speaker 8: last six years without Sean McDermott and the one they're

1638
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 8: still on. They're still on this run. And I know

1639
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 8: you can say, well, it's Josh, It's not just listen

1640
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 8: they I always say, listen, this guy gets more out

1641
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,719
Speaker 8: of the rosters that Brandon Bean gets him than any

1642
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 8: other coach. And I know he's never in the in

1643
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:06,640
Speaker 8: the Coach of the Year conversation and he gets downgraded

1644
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 8: because he's got number seventeen taken snaps for him.

1645
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 1: And it should be easy with Josh Allen to win.

1646
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 8: This roster is maximized year in year out by the

1647
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:17,679
Speaker 8: guy at a head coach.

1648
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:19,759
Speaker 1: He's the culture he has created.

1649
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 8: They don't get near winning a playoff game, they don't

1650
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 8: get near the playoffs. They don't get near winning a

1651
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 8: playoff game every year without the guy they got ha is.

1652
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,760
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor done year over year with Joe Burrow as

1653
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,599
Speaker 2: his quarterback. Okay, what are the Chargers done year over

1654
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 2: year with Justin Herbert as their quarterback? Elite quarterbacks? What

1655
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:42,520
Speaker 2: has Sean McVeigh done with Matthew Stafford as his elite quarterback?

1656
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 2: I mean, there are other head coaches that are thought

1657
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 2: a lot of and Dan Campbell and yeah, and there

1658
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 2: are a lot of other head coaches in this league

1659
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 2: that are held in higher regard than Sean McDermott with

1660
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,639
Speaker 2: elite quarterbacks that don't have his track record of success

1661
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,160
Speaker 2: five consecutive seasons with eleven wins or it's only four

1662
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,640
Speaker 2: of the coaches in the history of football that have

1663
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 2: ever done that. Not Chuck Knowle, not Bill Walsh, not

1664
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 2: I mean, not Dan Reeves, not Marv not Marv. Their

1665
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 2: names are Reid, Belichick, Doungeee, and Landry Tour in the

1666
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, and the other two are going real soon.

1667
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 1: He's with that group.

1668
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:25,679
Speaker 2: In terms of sustained success, it's the Chiefs and the Bills.

1669
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 2: That's it. In the entire league. No other team has

1670
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 2: gone to the playoffs the last six years in a

1671
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 2: row besides the Bills and the Chiefs. That's the list.

1672
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 2: They're right there. Yeah, you don't make that kind of

1673
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 2: a change, Kevin, And I agree with some of your

1674
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 2: other points, sure, but that's not one you make.

1675
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: And I get it.

1676
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 8: And today's in a day like today, in the reaction

1677
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 8: of the postgame of losing a champion of the championship game,

1678
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 8: there's a lot of reaction and and there's a lot

1679
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:56,320
Speaker 8: of again again, we did this again, We did it again,

1680
01:25:56,360 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 8: we did it again. This is very this is very

1681
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:06,560
Speaker 8: different than most of the situations other teams have had.

1682
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 8: I mean, we're I mean, you can say what you want.

1683
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 8: The Chiefs are hard to beat. And it's not just

1684
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 8: the Bills who struggle to do it.

1685
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:15,879
Speaker 2: They're everybody's problem.

1686
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 1: They're everybody's problem. And kudos the.

1687
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers have lost two Super Bowls to him now.

1688
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:23,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, and the Eagles who are headed into their second

1689
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 8: shot at it. Those teams and look at where the

1690
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 8: Look where the Niners are now. You know, Niners couldn't

1691
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:35,640
Speaker 8: get in the postseason, and the Eagles were out of

1692
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 8: it and now they're back. The Angles didn't get there either,

1693
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:41,639
Speaker 8: Bengals couldn't make the playoffs. Quarterback with an elite quarterback,

1694
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 8: I mean, and they've got the maybe the best set

1695
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 8: of wide receivers in the league. So and there is

1696
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,719
Speaker 8: one reason, well there's a million reasons, but one good

1697
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 8: reason why those teams falter is the leadership of the

1698
01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 8: head coach and the help and the relationship they have

1699
01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 8: with their general manager and their ownership. That's the whole

1700
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 8: kitten kaboodle. This team's got it going on. And you

1701
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:08,639
Speaker 8: can say what you want about well, you know, none

1702
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 8: of us are happy with the result of yesterday, but

1703
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 8: this is a team that no other team in the

1704
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 8: league wants any part of on a game day. This

1705
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:24,719
Speaker 8: they they are elite and they've proven it again this year.

1706
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 1: They always are break time.

1707
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 8: And a lot of big reason for that is the

1708
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 8: guy they've got on the sideline in Sean McDermott.

1709
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 2: Break Time. Here, more of your phone calls when we

1722
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 2: a Buffalo Football Monday, and to Judy in Buffalo. What's up, Judy?

1723
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 33: You know, I'm disappointed with the Buffalo fans, but I'm

1724
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 33: not surprised.

1725
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:29,320
Speaker 34: You know, the Bills really out did.

1726
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 33: What anybody expected of them. I say that because if

1727
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:39,720
Speaker 33: you look bick in the season and there are two games.

1728
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 32: One was with the.

1729
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 33: First game with the Baltimore Ravens and the second one

1730
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 33: was with the Los Angeles Rams, where they really exposed

1731
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 33: us to our weakness on defense. The fact that we

1732
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 33: even made to the final four is a feather our camp,

1733
01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:59,559
Speaker 33: and it's only because we have the excuse me, the

1734
01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 33: best quarterback in the league. Now, whatever the.

1735
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 23: Bills have to do, they have to use.

1736
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 33: Whatever draft capital they have to get some discruddled defensive

1737
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 33: players from other teams, other teams to get on our team,

1738
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:20,720
Speaker 33: because there's no there's no draft talent coming up that

1739
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 33: is going to save us.

1740
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:26,479
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go build, all right, Thanks, Judy, appreciate that.

1741
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's interesting because last year, you know, it was

1742
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 8: kind of a big subtraction season for Buffalo. They lost

1743
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 8: a ton of guys and we can go down the list,

1744
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,559
Speaker 8: you know, and they bit the dead capital, they bit

1745
01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:39,080
Speaker 8: the dead capitul So this year, you would think it's

1746
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 8: going to be much much different because they have money

1747
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 8: to spend and the freedom to do it. Certainly they're

1748
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:46,800
Speaker 8: going to extend some of the guys that are on

1749
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 8: this team. As you said, they've far outstripped expectations for

1750
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,439
Speaker 8: the national narrative and certainly optimistic Bills fans would have

1751
01:29:54,479 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 8: had a hard time seeing them clinch the division in

1752
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 8: record time and getting the AFC Championship and playing even

1753
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:02,759
Speaker 8: as playing as well in a loss as they did.

1754
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: But they did.

1755
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 8: And now they're drafting thirtieth, and so you know, free

1756
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 8: agency is a real thing. Look at the free agent

1757
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:20,200
Speaker 8: class they had this year with and the trade they

1758
01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,840
Speaker 8: made for Amari Cooper. But you guys got guys like

1759
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 8: Mac Hollins, Ty Johnson, Ray Davis. You know, you go

1760
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:31,920
Speaker 8: down the list of offensive guys, Mac, you know, all

1761
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 8: these guys, it's been pretty impressive. They got a lot

1762
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 8: of contributors on the on the offensive side of the ball,

1763
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:44,559
Speaker 8: Curtis Samuel, and they did it in large measure behind

1764
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 8: a very good offensive line that Will that is still

1765
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 8: under contract. And they're gonna probably offer some extensions to

1766
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 8: some of those guys that I mentioned. We'll see if

1767
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 8: all of them might. Certainly, Amari Cooper is a free agent,

1768
01:30:57,320 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 8: he'll be in higher demand than most of these guys.

1769
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,160
Speaker 8: But Mac, Holly, good grief, where would they be without

1770
01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 8: him this year?

1771
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 16: Right?

1772
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I.

1773
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 8: Think free agency is going to be way more interesting

1774
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:13,559
Speaker 8: this year than it was last year. And you know,

1775
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 8: simple by the simple fate of contracts running out and expiring,

1776
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 8: you're gonna have some voids, you got to feel. Anyway,

1777
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 8: The draft is certainly going to be important, as it

1778
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:27,839
Speaker 8: always is. They got a ton of draft picks, although

1779
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:31,160
Speaker 8: you know, picking thirtieth, you're gonna have to trade some

1780
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:32,960
Speaker 8: of them if you want to get up high into

1781
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 8: a guy that's really.

1782
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:36,759
Speaker 2: Or trades on them or trade proven.

1783
01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, for proven veteran player. It'll be interesting to see.

1784
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 8: But yes, this offseason acquisitions will be the I think

1785
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:48,040
Speaker 8: the more a bigger talking point than last year when

1786
01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 8: the departures were the big tarking talking point.

1787
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:52,599
Speaker 2: So Barb in Holland, what's up, Barb?

1788
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:59,880
Speaker 35: I I just wanted to say congrats to this tea,

1789
01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:07,360
Speaker 35: congratulations to McDermott, to this team, because the officiating was

1790
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:11,639
Speaker 35: so bad that we really didn't need to lose that game.

1791
01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:16,800
Speaker 34: And if somebody doesn't do something about the officials in

1792
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:21,759
Speaker 34: Kansas City when we're playing there, when anyone's playing there,

1793
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:25,559
Speaker 34: someone's got a payoff going on there. And I am

1794
01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 34: not one of them.

1795
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:31,559
Speaker 35: What do you call it? Theory people? And you don't

1796
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:35,120
Speaker 35: have to take long to look and see the three

1797
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 35: bad calls that we could have made something really good

1798
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:41,719
Speaker 35: out of it and won that game. I'm not saying

1799
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:44,760
Speaker 35: we played a perfect game. I'm not saying the.

1800
01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 34: Defense played a perfect game.

1801
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:50,880
Speaker 35: That I don't understand why Josh has to sit and

1802
01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:56,120
Speaker 35: blame himself every single time when them officials should be ashamed,

1803
01:32:56,800 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 35: they should be ashamed.

1804
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 2: Go ahead, sorry, appreciate appreciate it. Yeah, it's it's tough.

1805
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:07,800
Speaker 2: And look, we all I think we all know that

1806
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:10,280
Speaker 2: officials are human. They are going to make mistakes, but

1807
01:33:11,360 --> 01:33:13,920
Speaker 2: there always seems to be a pattern here every postseason,

1808
01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 2: and the chief seem to get all right.

1809
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:19,080
Speaker 8: I'll say it again. You know everybody knows my take

1810
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 8: on this. When you get close games and these these

1811
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 8: teams are this close, and when you get close games

1812
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 8: like this, official calls mean more because there's it's prettily

1813
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:31,960
Speaker 8: late in the game because there's less time to recover

1814
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:35,280
Speaker 8: and all of that. And and they become prominent because

1815
01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 8: they got to They got to enforce the rules. They

1816
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:38,600
Speaker 8: got to do their best, and if they get it

1817
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 8: right or wrong, they're going to be criticized one way

1818
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:42,680
Speaker 8: or the other. If they don't call it, they're going

1819
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:44,880
Speaker 8: to be criticized. If they call it wrong, they're going

1820
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:46,640
Speaker 8: to be criticized. They got to get it right and

1821
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 8: it's hard to do. Uh So we can all understand

1822
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 8: how difficult the job is. But when you've got people

1823
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:59,120
Speaker 8: like Barb from Holland calling in and she's like, you know,

1824
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 8: she's she's a Bills fan.

1825
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:01,320
Speaker 1: I get it.

1826
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but but eve us, we've seen this movie before, Steve.

1827
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,599
Speaker 3: That's why even we're on the wrong end of these

1828
01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:08,920
Speaker 3: calls all the time.

1829
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:15,400
Speaker 8: The problem is this even casual observers are raising their eyebrows.

1830
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:19,440
Speaker 1: I'd like one, what it's a problem. So that's a problem.

1831
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 1: That's a problem.

1832
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:22,920
Speaker 2: Break time for us. Our number three coming your way.

1833
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:25,120

Speaker 31: This the One Bill's Live presented by Calllia.

1838
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 1: Help.

1839
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:18,120
Speaker 2: All right, our number three on a Buffalo Football Monday.

1840
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, talking with you about

1841
01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:24,640
Speaker 2: the aftermath of an AFC title game that did not

1842
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:26,880
Speaker 2: go the right way last night. Bill's fall thirty two

1843
01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:29,280
Speaker 2: to twenty nine to the Chiefs. As the Chiefs go

1844
01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:33,760
Speaker 2: to their third consecutive Super Bowl, an unprecedented string of

1845
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,479
Speaker 2: success in Super Bowl history. We'll see if they can

1846
01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:39,480
Speaker 2: pull it off against the Eagles. Two weeks from yesterday,

1847
01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:41,920
Speaker 2: we go back to the phones and to Anne Marie

1848
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:43,479
Speaker 2: in New York. What do you have for us? Amrie?

1849
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:46,759
Speaker 36: How you doing? Steve? Listen, let me tell you something.

1850
01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:48,719
Speaker 36: First of all, you belong in the Hall of Famous.

1851
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:50,880
Speaker 36: Far as I'm concerned, all right, you should have been

1852
01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 36: in there a long time ago. Second of all, this

1853
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:58,439
Speaker 36: defense played hard, and you know what the called. Every

1854
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:03,600
Speaker 36: time Kansas City they get favored by the rests. It's disgusting.

1855
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 36: I mean these that that when he had the first

1856
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:10,479
Speaker 36: down and they pulled him back when he went over

1857
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:14,040
Speaker 36: the line, that should have been a first down. All right,

1858
01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 36: they had, they had calls they missed.

1859
01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:16,920
Speaker 27: All right.

1860
01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:20,360
Speaker 36: I'm sorry. I don't These rests need to go. I

1861
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 36: don't blame Josh Allen. I don't blame the defense. I

1862
01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:27,120
Speaker 36: blame the rests on this. There were too many miscalls.

1863
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:30,680
Speaker 36: When you go back and look at it, it's disgusting.

1864
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:34,400
Speaker 36: I mean, how many times do they I guarantee you

1865
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:35,839
Speaker 36: Philly's not gonna.

1866
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 11: Win the Super Bowl.

1867
01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:40,799
Speaker 36: Kansas City will. I'm telling you right now, they favor

1868
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:41,799
Speaker 36: Kansas City.

1869
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:42,879
Speaker 11: I don't know why.

1870
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:46,599
Speaker 36: I don't know how, but that's how I feel. I mean,

1871
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 36: I love Josh Allen. I've been a bill sand going

1872
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:51,559
Speaker 36: back to the Jim Kelly Day's sitting in the snow

1873
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 36: with Joe Montana in the championship game. I've never seen

1874
01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:56,679
Speaker 36: calls this bad.

1875
01:36:57,720 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're they're magnified, and those games like that,

1876
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:02,680
Speaker 2: So we get where you're coming from, Anne, Marie. And

1877
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:07,320
Speaker 2: they missed some for sure, and at a tight game

1878
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:10,599
Speaker 2: like this, it's hard to not think that they impacted

1879
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:13,200
Speaker 2: the outcome of the game in a three point game

1880
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:18,719
Speaker 2: that was back and forth with six lead changes. Yeah, stinks,

1881
01:37:19,800 --> 01:37:21,559
Speaker 2: especially when you're the team that's got to deal with

1882
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:23,840
Speaker 2: it and not and you're the team that's not moving

1883
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:27,360
Speaker 2: and it's and and there's the history of those goals

1884
01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:28,000
Speaker 2: going against you.

1885
01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 8: From this, From this end of it, you're looking at

1886
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:33,160
Speaker 8: a team that, as we said, they're going to seventh.

1887
01:37:33,439 --> 01:37:37,000
Speaker 8: They just went to their seventh straight AFC Championship game

1888
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:38,240
Speaker 8: and they're five and.

1889
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 1: Two in them. The only two they lost were both

1890
01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:41,839
Speaker 1: overtime victory or losses.

1891
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:49,639
Speaker 8: So it's yeah, I mean, it's easy to just feel

1892
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 8: like that on a day like today.

1893
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 2: To Michael in Rochester next, Oh, we lost him there.

1894
01:37:57,600 --> 01:37:59,840
Speaker 2: I think he's gone. I don't know what happened. Sorry,

1895
01:37:59,840 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 2: if that you were there, Michael, and I dropped it

1896
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 2: didn't mean to do that. We go to Mike on

1897
01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:05,040
Speaker 2: a cell. What's that Mike?

1898
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 20: Hey, I was going guys, good good? Uh, Steve chris Man,

1899
01:38:12,080 --> 01:38:16,280
Speaker 20: I really appreciate you letting us go through our therapy here.

1900
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 31: On a Monday.

1901
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:19,600
Speaker 20: Uh, you know, and I wish I was wearing my

1902
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 20: victory Monday T shirt today as well. I run a

1903
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 20: restaurant down here in Hilton Head and we have a

1904
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:30,240
Speaker 20: pretty big Buffalo contingent, and there was about fifty of

1905
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 20: us here on island that just had a really good

1906
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 20: time during that game. But uh, you know, we're all

1907
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:35,960
Speaker 20: feeling it a little bit today.

1908
01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:36,720
Speaker 31: But you know my.

1909
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:40,840
Speaker 20: Question is, uh, you know, it was pretty interesting to

1910
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:43,920
Speaker 20: see how the game developed, and you know, I think

1911
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 20: in the early going, you know, you kind of saw

1912
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:48,920
Speaker 20: a little bit of the old Josh Zumis come out

1913
01:38:48,920 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 20: a little bit, so to speak. And I have two

1914
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:54,160
Speaker 20: questions to kind of kind of need your knowledge on.

1915
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:56,760
Speaker 20: I was just kind of pondering on this. But you know,

1916
01:38:56,880 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 20: when he gets in those situations, does I mean, I

1917
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 20: just never like it almost seems like we need to

1918
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 20: like have some better play calling and maybe to get

1919
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 20: the ball out of his hands at a faster moment

1920
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 20: and maybe some shorter play passes like seven yard outs

1921
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:15,800
Speaker 20: and whatnot, because he just seems to like go for

1922
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 20: these longer, harder throws and it just seems to be

1923
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:21,160
Speaker 20: he needs to be kind of controlled a little bit more.

1924
01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:23,360
Speaker 20: But then also I thought Kansas City kind of had

1925
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:26,200
Speaker 20: it and maybe you know, you guys saw this too,

1926
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 20: almost had like a game plan to kind of get

1927
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:30,880
Speaker 20: Josh out of the pocket and get him rolling to

1928
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 20: his right.

1929
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 11: But really they you.

1930
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 20: Know, when he used to do that, he used to

1931
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:38,559
Speaker 20: be pretty successful at finding a target twenty thirty yards

1932
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:41,160
Speaker 20: down the field and would make an amazing pass. And

1933
01:39:41,160 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 20: they seem to have all that coverage pretty pretty well covered,

1934
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 20: and you know, maybe that was part of their game plan,

1935
01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:49,439
Speaker 20: and I don't know, maybe there just need to be

1936
01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:52,000
Speaker 20: a little bit more of going to the left or

1937
01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:54,760
Speaker 20: maybe not having Josh roll to the right so much,

1938
01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 20: because they really seem to have that lockdown. So just

1939
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:58,400
Speaker 20: kind of want to hear your thoughts on that.

1940
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Kansas City knows that Josh is lethal when

1941
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:07,800
Speaker 8: he rolls to his right, and they they were ready

1942
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:10,519
Speaker 8: for that. When he does that, you know, they kind

1943
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:12,000
Speaker 8: of crash over there. I think they had a plan

1944
01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:13,360
Speaker 8: for that. I heard one of their players in the

1945
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 8: run up to the game talk about that he what

1946
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 8: they expect from him when he rolls right.

1947
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:21,720
Speaker 2: They also got a good deal of pressure up the

1948
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:22,800
Speaker 2: middle to force him that way.

1949
01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:24,519
Speaker 1: That's right, and I'll say this too. You're right.

1950
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:26,880
Speaker 8: I thought Josh got off to a slow start and

1951
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:32,680
Speaker 8: was he looked like twenty eighteen twenty nineteen Josh for

1952
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:37,400
Speaker 8: a minute there. The difference was, you know, here's the thing.

1953
01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:40,559
Speaker 8: If you're Joe Brady, sure you can talk to him

1954
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:42,640
Speaker 8: and talking, but you don't know that he's going to

1955
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:45,599
Speaker 8: do that right until it's until you're three and out

1956
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,080
Speaker 8: and he's tried to throw the ball over the top twice.

1957
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:52,840
Speaker 8: So when he comes off the field, certainly you can say, hey, hey, bro,

1958
01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:55,800
Speaker 8: you know, take a deep breath. And he did that

1959
01:40:55,920 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 8: and he calmed down and they kind of got it

1960
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 8: together there and certainly got it back to sixteen to

1961
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 8: twenty one right before halftime with that throw to Hollins.

1962
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:09,599
Speaker 8: So it was, yeah, they were coaching him up. I'm

1963
01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:12,639
Speaker 8: sure in between series they're particularly in the early going.

1964
01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:16,960
Speaker 8: And once they did, he settled in nicely. But you're right,

1965
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:21,680
Speaker 8: there are things you can do. But I don't think

1966
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:26,439
Speaker 8: Josh knew that was gonna happen, right, So you know,

1967
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 8: you got to adjust on the fly a little bit.

1968
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 8: And it takes a minute to come over and have

1969
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 8: a talk with him. Certainly he's got the earbud here,

1970
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 8: but you got important stuff to talk about in that earbud.

1971
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 8: You can't be, you know, rubbing his tummy and telling

1972
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:42,680
Speaker 8: him bedtime stories. You know you ain't got time for that.

1973
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:47,160
Speaker 8: So it's it's pretty much business like on that on

1974
01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:51,920
Speaker 8: the radio with a fifteen second cutoff. So, yes, you're right,

1975
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:54,720
Speaker 8: and they did. I think they did make adjustments as

1976
01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 8: fast as they could, and Kansas City had a really

1977
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 8: good whatever that plan was, I thought, can the City

1978
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:03,680
Speaker 8: executed it extremely well because you're right, when Josh rolled right,

1979
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:06,559
Speaker 8: he's usually lethal and he was not so in this game.

1980
01:42:07,479 --> 01:42:10,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think all season long, Joe Brady has

1981
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 2: built in easier answers for Josh to decipher from a defense.

1982
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:20,720
Speaker 2: And on top of that, I think we saw for

1983
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:24,000
Speaker 2: the majority of this season a short to intermediate passing game.

1984
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,800
Speaker 2: I mean, the deep shots were far fewer and further

1985
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:30,640
Speaker 2: between this season than maybe any other for Josh in

1986
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:33,679
Speaker 2: the passing game, and it made him a higher efficiency passer.

1987
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:39,639
Speaker 2: We got to move now to the phone lines, where

1988
01:42:39,760 --> 01:42:43,240
Speaker 2: one Eric Wood is joining us as he made it

1989
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 2: safely back to his home. He drove back from Kansas

1990
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:49,240
Speaker 2: City to Louisville last night after the game, and he

1991
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 2: joins us now Bill's radio color analyst and host of

1992
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 2: the Senate on Buffalo podcast. So, Eric, good to have

1993
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 2: you with us. Glad you got home safe and sound.

1994
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:03,760
Speaker 2: Maybe your overarch thoughts on on how this game unfolded,

1995
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:08,599
Speaker 2: and you know where you might rank the Bill's level

1996
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:11,240
Speaker 2: of play, the chiefs level of play, and the officials

1997
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:12,760
Speaker 2: involvement in the outcome of the game.

1998
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:16,240
Speaker 31: Yeah, I'll say this. I mean it's a tough one.

1999
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:19,040
Speaker 31: It's a tough one today, you know, because the opportunity

2000
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 31: was there, and if you would have said, we can

2001
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:23,679
Speaker 31: get the ball back with three minutes and thirty seconds

2002
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:25,719
Speaker 31: left and all of our timeouts and we're down three

2003
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:27,720
Speaker 31: with a chance to go tired or win it, you

2004
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:30,960
Speaker 31: might take that and just roll the dice and say,

2005
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 31: our offense can go make a play in this situation,

2006
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:35,720
Speaker 31: especially if we've already scored twenty nine points. So you

2007
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:38,480
Speaker 31: feel like the defense for Kansas City would be susceptible

2008
01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:40,719
Speaker 31: to give up points. I'll say this, the Bills started

2009
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 31: off bad both sides of the ball, so you go

2010
01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 31: three and out to start the game. On offense, Josh

2011
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 31: did not look in rhythm at all to start that game.

2012
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:49,880
Speaker 31: I didn't mind the first play call. You know, you

2013
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,800
Speaker 31: have you know Josh with a you know QB Reid,

2014
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 31: but he's going to his right, so if he wants

2015
01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:56,639
Speaker 31: to throw that left shoulder in there, kind of get

2016
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:59,040
Speaker 31: settled into the game. You know, Josh has said before

2017
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:00,840
Speaker 31: he likes taking a shot or in the games to

2018
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 31: kind of settle themselves down. So they give them one

2019
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 31: on first down and then two bad decisions, bad you know,

2020
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:09,120
Speaker 31: not great throws on the next two. Lucky did not

2021
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:11,280
Speaker 31: have an interception, you put the ball away, and you

2022
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 31: give up seven points. Just a nightmare start. But you know,

2023
01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 31: something that's been kind of synonymous with this team throughout

2024
01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:19,800
Speaker 31: the year is their resilience. The way they fight, and

2025
01:44:19,840 --> 01:44:21,720
Speaker 31: they fight all the way back in it to where

2026
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:23,920
Speaker 31: they take the lead in the second half and put

2027
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:26,080
Speaker 31: themselves in a position to win it. But you know,

2028
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:27,680
Speaker 31: I just had Ryan Fitzpatrick on I said it on

2029
01:44:27,720 --> 01:44:30,439
Speaker 31: a Buffalo podcast and we were talking about, you know,

2030
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 31: how each team played, and you almost feel like if

2031
01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 31: the Bills would have won that game last night, you

2032
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:37,760
Speaker 31: would almost feel like they stole one. Now they had

2033
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:41,599
Speaker 31: injuries in the secondary, but you know, beyond James Cook,

2034
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:45,280
Speaker 31: was there a position group that outplayed a position group

2035
01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:48,360
Speaker 31: on the Chiefs And I'm not sure there was, And

2036
01:44:48,439 --> 01:44:52,960
Speaker 31: so you know, it's it's tough that you end the

2037
01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 31: season in that way at Kansas City again, but it

2038
01:44:56,200 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 31: just didn't feel like and I didn't go into the

2039
01:44:58,320 --> 01:45:03,880
Speaker 31: game thinking that she had overall this physically better team

2040
01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:06,000
Speaker 31: than the Bills. But at the end of the day,

2041
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:08,040
Speaker 31: you know, some of the matchups they were able to

2042
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:11,400
Speaker 31: attack and all that led to the Bills losing. And

2043
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:14,280
Speaker 31: I'll get to the officials in one second. I also

2044
01:45:14,320 --> 01:45:17,639
Speaker 31: think what a gutsy call by Spags on fourth and

2045
01:45:17,680 --> 01:45:18,519
Speaker 31: five at the game.

2046
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 1: On the line you.

2047
01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:23,599
Speaker 31: Blitz a corner, which, because of the reduced set by

2048
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:25,720
Speaker 31: the receiver, you were able to do that. It's only

2049
01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 31: a five man protection, so you can fire him. There's

2050
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:30,080
Speaker 31: no running back to get him if you fool the

2051
01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:32,800
Speaker 31: O line and the quarterback on the protection scheme. But look,

2052
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 31: if you're a defensive coordinator and you run a corner

2053
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 31: blitz in that situation and we have a beater on

2054
01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:41,439
Speaker 31: that side, you might be fired today if they lose

2055
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:43,960
Speaker 31: that game, Andy Ree might say enough's enough, SPACs, you're

2056
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:47,439
Speaker 31: out of here, like we can't have those types of calls. Instead,

2057
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:52,599
Speaker 31: he's the hero again, and so that's unfortunate that that

2058
01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:54,600
Speaker 31: didn't work out and we weren't able to work it

2059
01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:57,679
Speaker 31: back to Shakiir maybe who likely was the hot throw

2060
01:45:57,720 --> 01:46:00,479
Speaker 31: on the play, and then you know, can k doesn't

2061
01:46:00,479 --> 01:46:02,519
Speaker 31: come down with it. But that's a tough play in

2062
01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:04,760
Speaker 31: that situation. It is what it is. Should he make

2063
01:46:04,760 --> 01:46:06,680
Speaker 31: the catch? Yeah, I mean he said it after the

2064
01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:09,280
Speaker 31: game in the locker room, so I'll go with him.

2065
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:12,320
Speaker 31: But in the moment, we weren't thinking all my it

2066
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:14,920
Speaker 31: didn't feel like the Mark Andrews play from a week ago.

2067
01:46:15,320 --> 01:46:18,400
Speaker 31: And then the officiating last night was frustrating. It's been

2068
01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:21,280
Speaker 31: frustrating a lot this season. But you had the Cole

2069
01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:23,760
Speaker 31: Bishop play where the ball hit the ground that goes

2070
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:29,120
Speaker 31: in Kansas City's favor on the QB sneaks. I believe

2071
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:31,720
Speaker 31: Josh got the fourth and one. It looked like it.

2072
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,639
Speaker 31: I've seen still frames of it. I've also seen still

2073
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:37,679
Speaker 31: frames of the alignment of the defense, and it looked

2074
01:46:37,720 --> 01:46:39,839
Speaker 31: like the way they were able to stop the sneak

2075
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:43,200
Speaker 31: was the guy to the right of the center, so

2076
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:45,000
Speaker 31: the QB sneak always goes to the left. The guy

2077
01:46:45,040 --> 01:46:47,719
Speaker 31: to the right of the center would line up essentially

2078
01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:51,599
Speaker 31: off sides and just barrel in to Connor McGovern's side

2079
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,800
Speaker 31: so that he would get washed into the mix and

2080
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:58,040
Speaker 31: not making as easy of a sneak for Josh Allen.

2081
01:46:58,160 --> 01:47:02,839
Speaker 37: So before the play on Kansas City based upon their alignment,

2082
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:07,320
Speaker 37: and then I thought, Josh got it, But ultimately you

2083
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:09,200
Speaker 37: just can't let it come down to a call like that.

2084
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:11,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, and there was an answer. Even on the fourth

2085
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:13,519
Speaker 8: and five where he tried to get it to Kincage,

2086
01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:17,160
Speaker 8: Shakir was uncovered out to the right, but Josh, because

2087
01:47:17,160 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 8: the play, the play got there so fast, Josh would

2088
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 8: have had to almost sprint to that side and just

2089
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:26,040
Speaker 8: kind of shovel it to him he intended. He instead

2090
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:29,719
Speaker 8: runs to his right, uh, and can't find Shakir. Shakiir

2091
01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 8: would still be running and that really would have changed

2092
01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 8: the game. So the answers were there in that play,

2093
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:38,240
Speaker 8: even against that blitz, but because the pressure got there

2094
01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 8: so fast, Josh had had no way to make it happen.

2095
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:46,640
Speaker 31: Yeah, you're right, and you expected, because there was a

2096
01:47:46,680 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 31: time out before the play, you expected Spagnola to fire

2097
01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:54,320
Speaker 31: a blitz on that play, and unfortunately, I heard Connor

2098
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 31: McGovern say after the game he wishes he would have

2099
01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:58,479
Speaker 31: sent the protection that way. But corner blitz is for

2100
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:02,640
Speaker 31: a center. Uh, I mean, it's those are almost impossible

2101
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:05,160
Speaker 31: unless we have some type of tell, like we have

2102
01:48:05,200 --> 01:48:08,320
Speaker 31: a shaded nose where there shouldn't be a shade here. Okay,

2103
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:10,960
Speaker 31: what's fishy over to this side. But unless there's an

2104
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 31: indicator like that, it's really difficult for a center and

2105
01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:17,479
Speaker 31: even a quarterback to pick up that the corner is

2106
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 31: going to come in that situation and read ends up

2107
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 31: coming free as well. It turns into like a free

2108
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:25,760
Speaker 31: safety corner blitz, and they got him. But I'm with you,

2109
01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:27,800
Speaker 31: he had the answer to Sekir the other way. But

2110
01:48:28,160 --> 01:48:31,000
Speaker 31: I don't know what Josh's progression is there. So it's

2111
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:33,479
Speaker 31: so easy for me to sit here today and say, well,

2112
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:35,719
Speaker 31: if you swing that one out to Shakir, he's able

2113
01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:38,360
Speaker 31: to get six yards at least continue to drive. But

2114
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:40,800
Speaker 31: I don't know what his progression is there.

2115
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, And as admirable as it is that they're

2116
01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 2: able to erase an eleven point deficit, climb back into

2117
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:49,479
Speaker 2: this game, and actually take the lead at one point

2118
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:52,679
Speaker 2: in the second half. When you look at the thing

2119
01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 2: in totality, you can find bits and pieces of this

2120
01:48:56,680 --> 01:49:00,760
Speaker 2: game where Buffalo's execution wasn't at the same level as

2121
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:06,400
Speaker 2: Kansas City's, who was pretty buttoned up from front to back. Yes,

2122
01:49:06,520 --> 01:49:09,040
Speaker 2: Brian Cook should have had an interception that he dropped.

2123
01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 2: They had the fumbled exchange on the Reid option play

2124
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:15,000
Speaker 2: with Mahomes and that led to a turnover. There might

2125
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:18,080
Speaker 2: be one other play where they did not look like

2126
01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:19,600
Speaker 2: they had it all lined up. I think there was

2127
01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:22,240
Speaker 2: a miscommunication on a pass play with Mahomes and a receiver.

2128
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:26,519
Speaker 2: Outside of that, I mean, the execution by the Chiefs

2129
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:29,519
Speaker 2: was air tight and for the Bills it wasn't. And

2130
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:32,479
Speaker 2: in games like this that can mean all the difference.

2131
01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:36,840
Speaker 31: You're right, and it just looked easier throughout for the Chiefs,

2132
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 31: it did, and some of that's the injuries in the secondary,

2133
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 31: and early on in the game the Bills were running

2134
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:44,599
Speaker 31: some zone defense, and you know, you were seeing those

2135
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:48,479
Speaker 31: play action quick hitters, and then Bills would get demand

2136
01:49:48,680 --> 01:49:51,360
Speaker 31: and then whether it's an audible or play call prior.

2137
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 31: You know, they're getting to those rub routes, and they

2138
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:57,000
Speaker 31: were giving the Bills fits on those rub routes at

2139
01:49:57,040 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 31: the second level, you know, in Manda man coverage. So

2140
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:02,120
Speaker 31: it just seems like they had the answers built in

2141
01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:05,719
Speaker 31: throughout the night. And I'll give the Bills defense credit.

2142
01:50:06,160 --> 01:50:08,040
Speaker 31: You know, when the game was on the line, they

2143
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:10,639
Speaker 31: got to stop down in the red zone and force

2144
01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:13,479
Speaker 31: them to just kick a field goal. Give them credit there.

2145
01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:15,840
Speaker 31: There's a number of plays they made throughout the day.

2146
01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 31: They forced back to back punts to start the second half,

2147
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:23,320
Speaker 31: which were absolutely necessary when you you know, you hadn't

2148
01:50:23,439 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 31: you hadn't forced a punt in six quarters, and so

2149
01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 31: you get in the locker room, you regroup, and you

2150
01:50:27,960 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 31: force back to back punts, one of them being a

2151
01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:31,320
Speaker 31: three and out, and they lead to points for the

2152
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:35,440
Speaker 31: Bills and you're able to take the lead. But ultimately,

2153
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:38,280
Speaker 31: and they were putting some bad positions last night too,

2154
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:42,000
Speaker 31: based upon you know, Chiefs takeover after the failed sneak

2155
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:44,360
Speaker 31: attempt at the forty yard line. They had the long

2156
01:50:44,400 --> 01:50:47,479
Speaker 31: punt return, but it just seemed easier for the Chiefs

2157
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:51,480
Speaker 31: throughout the game last night to move the ball offensively.

2158
01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, and this is the Chiefs team that people this

2159
01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:57,519
Speaker 8: kind of goes by the wayside because we're you know,

2160
01:50:57,560 --> 01:50:59,680
Speaker 8: the Bills fans, and this team has been on the

2161
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:01,599
Speaker 8: wrong side of it for four years in a row.

2162
01:51:01,640 --> 01:51:09,080
Speaker 8: But there they're two overtime AFC Championship Game losses away

2163
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:15,880
Speaker 8: from going to seven straight Super Bowls. It's an all

2164
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:18,840
Speaker 8: time run that the Bills are trying to interrupt and

2165
01:51:18,880 --> 01:51:21,760
Speaker 8: we're and once again are a hair's breath away from

2166
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:30,280
Speaker 8: getting it done. Put into context, how unbelievable this Chiefs decade,

2167
01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 8: or since last seven eight years has been for this team.

2168
01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:37,919
Speaker 8: Can even contextualize it.

2169
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:39,360
Speaker 31: It's tough to, you know. The thing that almost impresses

2170
01:51:39,400 --> 01:51:42,400
Speaker 31: me most is, yes, there's constance. There's constance in Travis

2171
01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:47,280
Speaker 31: Kelcey and Chris Jones, Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes. There's constance there,

2172
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:51,120
Speaker 31: but there's also so much movement around them, you know,

2173
01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:55,240
Speaker 31: Patrick Mahomes. Early on, it's Tyreek Hill, it's me Kaul Hardman.

2174
01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:58,040
Speaker 31: It's these speedsters on the outside that puts so much

2175
01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:01,520
Speaker 31: pressure on you. And then they run the ball when you,

2176
01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:04,639
Speaker 31: you know, spread everybody out on your defense and then

2177
01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:07,400
Speaker 31: it turned into, okay, well we're going to trade away

2178
01:52:07,400 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 31: Tyreek Hill, put all those resources in the defense. We're

2179
01:52:10,080 --> 01:52:12,120
Speaker 31: going to go have a top five defense. Now, Patrick,

2180
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:15,400
Speaker 31: you need to elevate everyone else's play offensively. Yes, Kelsey's

2181
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:17,720
Speaker 31: still there, but you know, and then they invested a

2182
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:21,000
Speaker 31: lot of capital into their interior offensive line. Second round

2183
01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:23,519
Speaker 31: draft pick at center. You know, they have two of

2184
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:25,160
Speaker 31: the best guards in the league. Now, Trey Smith was

2185
01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 31: a great draft pick, later round draft pick for them,

2186
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:30,599
Speaker 31: But you know where does Patrick Mahomes hate pressure? Right

2187
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:32,080
Speaker 31: up the middle? Okay, we're going to try and give

2188
01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:35,080
Speaker 31: them the best interior line in football, and they likely have.

2189
01:52:35,280 --> 01:52:39,040
Speaker 31: And so it's amazing how they've evolved this thing. And

2190
01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:42,160
Speaker 31: then you know, it's just the thing that impresses me most.

2191
01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:45,800
Speaker 31: And what sucks about a day like today is you

2192
01:52:45,920 --> 01:52:48,080
Speaker 31: got to start all the way back over. You don't

2193
01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 31: get to start in the wild card round, you don't

2194
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:52,120
Speaker 31: get to start in the divisional round. And see, I

2195
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 31: know I'm preaching the choir with you, because you know,

2196
01:52:55,120 --> 01:52:58,519
Speaker 31: the resilience that you guys had to three times get

2197
01:52:58,520 --> 01:53:00,639
Speaker 31: off the mat and get back to the super Bowl

2198
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:04,639
Speaker 31: is unbelievable because I mean, you're gutted on a daylight today.

2199
01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:07,960
Speaker 31: And at this point, Yes, I'm a former player and

2200
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 31: I have strong relationships on the team, but I'm the

2201
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:12,880
Speaker 31: color commentary guy. You know, I do content for the

2202
01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:16,280
Speaker 31: Bills organization, and I'm gutted. I mean, imagine the guys

2203
01:53:16,280 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 31: in the locker room, the coaching staff, the front office

2204
01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:21,479
Speaker 31: that puts so much time and effort into it, and

2205
01:53:21,560 --> 01:53:23,920
Speaker 31: you got to start over. That's the hardest part. And

2206
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:27,400
Speaker 31: with the Chiefs, what's so impressive is they come off

2207
01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:30,800
Speaker 31: of a Super Bowl championship and do it. You know,

2208
01:53:30,920 --> 01:53:34,679
Speaker 31: it's like there's no contentment there and they get better

2209
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:38,040
Speaker 31: and better. And at this point, there's almost a comfort level,

2210
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:40,800
Speaker 31: I'm sure in these big games because they've just been

2211
01:53:40,840 --> 01:53:44,320
Speaker 31: there so many times where we're talking about slow starts,

2212
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:46,799
Speaker 31: they're saying, here we go business as usual.

2213
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially when you're talking about the one possession games,

2214
01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:55,120
Speaker 2: because they've now won seventeen one possession games in a row.

2215
01:53:56,360 --> 01:54:00,000
Speaker 2: That's an NFL record and it's still intact right now,

2216
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:04,400
Speaker 2: so they just feel comfortable in those moments. I wanted

2217
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:08,360
Speaker 2: to get your perspective on this because I was trying

2218
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:10,719
Speaker 2: to explain to a couple of people that I felt

2219
01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:13,920
Speaker 2: like the Bills, because of the slow start, spent the

2220
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:17,080
Speaker 2: rest of the game chasing the game, and I wasn't

2221
01:54:17,080 --> 01:54:20,720
Speaker 2: able to explain it eloquently enough in terms of the

2222
01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:23,880
Speaker 2: extra effort that players have to put forth when you

2223
01:54:23,920 --> 01:54:26,679
Speaker 2: are chasing the game and trying to make up a deficit.

2224
01:54:26,720 --> 01:54:29,360
Speaker 2: It's almost like you're not just playing the opponent, but

2225
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:34,120
Speaker 2: you're playing the scoreboard and trying to fight, scratch, claw

2226
01:54:34,280 --> 01:54:37,440
Speaker 2: and strain to make enough plays just to climb back

2227
01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:40,280
Speaker 2: even Can you just kind of from a player perspective,

2228
01:54:40,320 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 2: explain what extra effort is involved when you're chasing the game?

2229
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:49,000
Speaker 31: Yeah, I mean you find yourself down eleven in the

2230
01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 31: first half and you have one possession before the half,

2231
01:54:52,400 --> 01:54:53,840
Speaker 31: and the Chiefs are going to get the ball coming

2232
01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:57,400
Speaker 31: out of the half. You're looking at yourself thinking, Okay,

2233
01:54:57,440 --> 01:54:59,880
Speaker 31: this isn't do or die right now, but it's pretty

2234
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:02,920
Speaker 31: close to it. We need to make a play. Credit

2235
01:55:02,920 --> 01:55:04,520
Speaker 31: to the Bills they do. They put a nice drive

2236
01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:06,440
Speaker 31: together and then Mac Collins comes up with a great

2237
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:10,400
Speaker 31: touchdown grab Josh put that ball on the money and

2238
01:55:10,880 --> 01:55:12,880
Speaker 31: saw the Bills put something out of here zero point

2239
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 31: five yards of separation there, and so you know, all

2240
01:55:17,240 --> 01:55:20,000
Speaker 31: that being said, you know, you feel like in that moment,

2241
01:55:20,520 --> 01:55:22,720
Speaker 31: like the game's almost on the line, but it's only

2242
01:55:22,760 --> 01:55:25,080
Speaker 31: the second quarter, and so it puts pressure on you.

2243
01:55:25,400 --> 01:55:27,600
Speaker 31: And then you add in the crowd noise and the

2244
01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:31,160
Speaker 31: difficulty in communication, it just becomes a you know, an

2245
01:55:31,200 --> 01:55:37,600
Speaker 31: emotionally and obviously physically stressful game based upon the slow start.

2246
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:39,560
Speaker 31: Give the Bills credit though they were getting gashed in

2247
01:55:39,560 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 31: the run game early. Then they completely shut down the

2248
01:55:41,800 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 31: run in the second half. You know, the Bill started

2249
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:48,760
Speaker 31: executing you know way better fairly early in the first

2250
01:55:48,760 --> 01:55:50,520
Speaker 31: half and then got back to their run game to

2251
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:53,040
Speaker 31: start the second half, go on a twelve play scoring

2252
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:55,560
Speaker 31: drive where the one play is a screen they throw

2253
01:55:55,720 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 31: off of a run play. It was just a little

2254
01:55:58,520 --> 01:56:01,080
Speaker 31: quick hitter because Kansas City is stacked box. So give

2255
01:56:01,120 --> 01:56:03,560
Speaker 31: the Bills credit the way they were able to adjust.

2256
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:05,840
Speaker 31: But yes, when you start the game off as bad

2257
01:56:05,880 --> 01:56:08,440
Speaker 31: as they did, you know, you're in the second quarter

2258
01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:10,120
Speaker 31: and you feel like it's almost do or die.

2259
01:56:10,160 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 8: And you get in there where the stuff happens, the

2260
01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:16,320
Speaker 8: score comes down the way it does you the Bills.

2261
01:56:16,720 --> 01:56:19,800
Speaker 8: Both teams score four touchdowns they score one field goal,

2262
01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:24,560
Speaker 8: and the differences in two point conversions, and it comes

2263
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:28,000
Speaker 8: down you know when those conversions happen when they're not.

2264
01:56:28,080 --> 01:56:31,040
Speaker 1: And I was all on board with both of them.

2265
01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:35,680
Speaker 8: The analytics say you're fifty to fifty on fourth down

2266
01:56:35,720 --> 01:56:38,880
Speaker 8: on two point conversions, if you try eight of them,

2267
01:56:38,880 --> 01:56:40,440
Speaker 8: you're going to make four of them and miss four

2268
01:56:40,440 --> 01:56:40,760
Speaker 8: of them.

2269
01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:45,160
Speaker 1: Well, if you miss one, that means like you're due, right, So.

2270
01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:50,480
Speaker 31: I get those analytics. Those analytics are based off of

2271
01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:53,560
Speaker 31: the league averages, not the number two scoring offense in

2272
01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:55,360
Speaker 31: the league with a unicorn at quarterback.

2273
01:56:55,360 --> 01:56:55,760
Speaker 1: That's right.

2274
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:56,520
Speaker 31: I'm with you.

2275
01:56:56,920 --> 01:57:00,200
Speaker 8: I was totally on board with both those decisions, and

2276
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:04,760
Speaker 8: and I would I'm shocked they couldn't get one of those.

2277
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:06,919
Speaker 8: And I and I'll say this too, Eric, and I'm

2278
01:57:07,160 --> 01:57:10,240
Speaker 8: I'm all about you know, the play selection and all

2279
01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:14,000
Speaker 8: the Red residents. I that's a player's miss right there.

2280
01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 8: You know, the two point conversions are players, I think,

2281
01:57:17,120 --> 01:57:19,959
Speaker 8: both on defense and on offense. You gotta make a play.

2282
01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:22,760
Speaker 8: The play is designed, it's gonna work, there's no space.

2283
01:57:23,200 --> 01:57:24,800
Speaker 8: You gotta do what you gotta do. And it comes

2284
01:57:24,800 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 8: down to you guys up for the big guys up front,

2285
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:30,080
Speaker 8: and if you're gonna run it or if you're gonna

2286
01:57:30,080 --> 01:57:34,560
Speaker 8: throw everything, and the you know, the play selection being

2287
01:57:34,560 --> 01:57:37,400
Speaker 8: what it was, I mean, you just gotta know you're

2288
01:57:37,400 --> 01:57:37,840
Speaker 8: gonna have a.

2289
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:38,560
Speaker 1: Chance to do it.

2290
01:57:38,800 --> 01:57:44,640
Speaker 8: And those two missed two pointers, you know, you come

2291
01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:46,160
Speaker 8: down to play like a game like that.

2292
01:57:46,160 --> 01:57:47,720
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the difference in the.

2293
01:57:47,640 --> 01:57:52,640
Speaker 31: Game, no doubt. And I mean even as for those

2294
01:57:52,720 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 31: watching along with us watching these QB sneaks, I mean,

2295
01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:58,960
Speaker 31: I don't I don't know what kind of preparation they did,

2296
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:00,680
Speaker 31: what kind of talks they had, but this was an

2297
01:58:00,720 --> 01:58:02,720
Speaker 31: automatic play for the Bills twenty one to twenty two

2298
01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 31: on the season. You know, Kansas City hasn't stopped a

2299
01:58:06,040 --> 01:58:09,280
Speaker 31: QB sneak attempt in their last thirty two attempts prior

2300
01:58:09,360 --> 01:58:12,400
Speaker 31: to this game. And I don't know what they did

2301
01:58:12,440 --> 01:58:15,000
Speaker 31: game planning wise, how much attention they put into this,

2302
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:17,960
Speaker 31: But really when you look at it, between the two

2303
01:58:17,960 --> 01:58:20,440
Speaker 31: point version of the fail fourth and one attempt, I

2304
01:58:20,480 --> 01:58:22,840
Speaker 31: mean that's a lot of the game came down to

2305
01:58:23,200 --> 01:58:26,720
Speaker 31: QB sneak attempts and it's you know, give them credit

2306
01:58:26,760 --> 01:58:29,920
Speaker 31: for executing in those instances. I mentioned it earlier. You know,

2307
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:32,920
Speaker 31: I don't I don't know all the ins and outs

2308
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:35,640
Speaker 31: of how they coached how to get that done. But

2309
01:58:35,720 --> 01:58:38,680
Speaker 31: with Josh always going left, it looked like on the

2310
01:58:38,720 --> 01:58:41,400
Speaker 31: still frame that I saw from the aerial view, they

2311
01:58:41,400 --> 01:58:44,040
Speaker 31: were lining up and they were saying, look, press the

2312
01:58:44,080 --> 01:58:47,240
Speaker 31: line line up off sides if you have to, because

2313
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:50,320
Speaker 31: make them call it because both teams are crowded the line.

2314
01:58:50,320 --> 01:58:51,600
Speaker 31: So a lot of times, as long as you're not

2315
01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:54,520
Speaker 31: touching somebody, they don't call it in that situation. And

2316
01:58:54,600 --> 01:58:58,960
Speaker 31: so they taught to just barrel into Connor McGovern's side

2317
01:58:59,040 --> 01:59:02,000
Speaker 31: and try and just tighten all the gaps on that side,

2318
01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:04,760
Speaker 31: just based upon using his momentum. That's the only thing

2319
01:59:05,000 --> 01:59:06,880
Speaker 31: that really stuck out to me, other than they had

2320
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:09,880
Speaker 31: guys going low up front and guys going higher in

2321
01:59:09,960 --> 01:59:12,520
Speaker 31: the back. And you know, me and Brownie were talking

2322
01:59:12,520 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 31: about in the broadcast, like, well, what do you do

2323
01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:16,320
Speaker 31: off of that to get them? Well, you can't do

2324
01:59:16,400 --> 01:59:19,600
Speaker 31: the push look, because you're too crowded. They're at quarterback.

2325
01:59:19,640 --> 01:59:23,600
Speaker 31: You almost have to get to the QB sneak out

2326
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:26,960
Speaker 31: of a regular set, regular looking under center set, so

2327
01:59:27,040 --> 01:59:29,920
Speaker 31: then you don't have to push anymore, but then it's

2328
01:59:29,960 --> 01:59:32,000
Speaker 31: not as obvious and you could always get to the run.

2329
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah right, just spread everybody out and give Josh more

2330
01:59:34,960 --> 01:59:37,360
Speaker 2: space to work out on the edges somewhere. Yeah, they

2331
01:59:37,360 --> 01:59:39,839
Speaker 2: were complaining about Chris Jones lining up in the neutral

2332
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:42,480
Speaker 2: zone on those plays, and that's why they even went

2333
01:59:42,520 --> 01:59:44,680
Speaker 2: to that hardcount late to try to get him to jump.

2334
01:59:45,120 --> 01:59:45,600
Speaker 7: He didn't.

2335
01:59:47,000 --> 01:59:50,960
Speaker 2: So that's that, Eric, Thanks for your input all season long.

2336
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:53,320
Speaker 2: We appreciate it, and we'll catch up with you down

02:00:55,760 --> 02:01:01,320
Speaker 2: Shakir here postgame locker room postgame locker room cleanout day. Also,

2354
02:01:01,360 --> 02:01:03,760
Speaker 2: there is some news from the locker room. And this

2355
02:01:03,800 --> 02:01:07,400
Speaker 2: really isn't surprising, but Micah Hyde told reporters that he

2356
02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:11,440
Speaker 2: is in fact going to retire. Came back sat on

2357
02:01:11,440 --> 02:01:13,120
Speaker 2: the practice squad. I don't think there was any real

2358
02:01:13,120 --> 02:01:14,960
Speaker 2: intention for him to play, just kind of along for

2359
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:17,920
Speaker 2: the ride and to entor some young players. But it's

2360
02:01:17,960 --> 02:01:20,200
Speaker 2: official his playing career. He will be over.

2361
02:01:20,320 --> 02:01:21,920
Speaker 1: Get set up to that point too. He has no

2362
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:23,160
Speaker 1: interest in being a coach.

2363
02:01:24,080 --> 02:01:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that was Jay Kirsky from the Buffalo News

2364
02:01:26,920 --> 02:01:27,880
Speaker 2: that had that report.

2365
02:01:27,960 --> 02:01:29,520
Speaker 1: Let's try to change his mind, but that's what he

2366
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:30,120
Speaker 1: said before.

2367
02:01:30,240 --> 02:01:32,600
Speaker 2: Let's go to John in Newfane here, what's up John?

2368
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:34,240
Speaker 16: Hey?

2369
02:01:34,280 --> 02:01:36,600
Speaker 32: First of all, think you thinking my call? I just

2370
02:01:36,640 --> 02:01:39,880
Speaker 32: wanted to say in a positive note, James Cook is

2371
02:01:39,920 --> 02:01:42,760
Speaker 32: a beast. If they don't pay him sell a team

2372
02:01:42,760 --> 02:01:46,160
Speaker 32: in Toronto. I mean, that effort in the end zone

2373
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:50,920
Speaker 32: just unbelievable. He's a beast, he's healthy, he always makes plays.

2374
02:01:51,320 --> 02:01:54,760
Speaker 32: Pay You gotta pay him whatever he wants. The other

2375
02:01:54,840 --> 02:01:57,560
Speaker 32: thing I want to say is I'm tired to hear

2376
02:01:57,600 --> 02:02:00,000
Speaker 32: about the Chief's greatness. You can talk about how great

2377
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:01,240
Speaker 32: they are. If you talk about how great of a

2378
02:02:01,280 --> 02:02:04,320
Speaker 32: champion Hule Cogan was for you know, ten years, and

2379
02:02:04,440 --> 02:02:06,440
Speaker 32: he came back in the year two thousand, you can

2380
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:08,680
Speaker 32: talk about how great Cogan is. Great, been talk about

2381
02:02:08,680 --> 02:02:11,240
Speaker 32: great the Chiefs are. When the Chiefs at the ball

2382
02:02:11,360 --> 02:02:14,600
Speaker 32: was the second or third down in midfield and then

2383
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:17,160
Speaker 32: arguably it was an interception and it hit the ground,

2384
02:02:17,200 --> 02:02:20,120
Speaker 32: he didn't have possession, he had possession with a defender's arm,

2385
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:22,200
Speaker 32: and they have the ball to the two line yard

2386
02:02:22,280 --> 02:02:23,200
Speaker 32: line at score, How do.

2387
02:02:23,240 --> 02:02:23,640
Speaker 31: They do it?

2388
02:02:23,640 --> 02:02:25,400
Speaker 18: How oh the Bills lose?

2389
02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:27,680
Speaker 32: How does it keep happening? That's why it keeps happening,

2390
02:02:27,800 --> 02:02:29,520
Speaker 32: because if they headed the midfield, all of a sudden,

2391
02:02:29,520 --> 02:02:31,200
Speaker 32: they have it at the two yard line, four downs

2392
02:02:31,200 --> 02:02:34,040
Speaker 32: and they score, and just started to hear him out

2393
02:02:34,080 --> 02:02:36,960
Speaker 32: their greatness. They're a great team. They're a great team.

2394
02:02:37,120 --> 02:02:38,840
Speaker 32: But it's at the end of the day, if it's

2395
02:02:38,840 --> 02:02:41,600
Speaker 32: a close game, the challenger is not going to win.

2396
02:02:41,680 --> 02:02:45,200
Speaker 32: It's like when boxing was run by the mafia. If

2397
02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:48,240
Speaker 32: he goes to the decision, the challenger could win every round.

2398
02:02:49,040 --> 02:02:52,280
Speaker 32: They're gonna lose because it's how they make money when

2399
02:02:52,320 --> 02:02:54,800
Speaker 32: there's not a down of football being played for seven months.

2400
02:02:55,240 --> 02:02:58,280
Speaker 32: They make money by everybody talking about if the Chiefs

2401
02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:01,840
Speaker 32: are greater than Michael Jordan, if they're better than Tom Brady.

2402
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:03,880
Speaker 32: It's how they're gonna make money. As they can make

2403
02:03:03,920 --> 02:03:07,640
Speaker 32: money by giving the Chiefs the highest the Lombardi Trophy

2404
02:03:07,720 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 32: two years ago or two weeks ago. They would have

2405
02:03:10,120 --> 02:03:11,640
Speaker 32: done it, but it would cost you mighty do that

2406
02:03:11,640 --> 02:03:13,840
Speaker 32: because people would think that's ridiculous, So they're not gonna

2407
02:03:13,880 --> 02:03:16,360
Speaker 32: do that. They actually have to play the game, unfortunately

2408
02:03:16,400 --> 02:03:19,560
Speaker 32: for the NFL. So it's just the only way you're

2409
02:03:19,560 --> 02:03:21,840
Speaker 32: gonna beat the Chiefs. The Buccaneers did it. You got

2410
02:03:21,840 --> 02:03:26,720
Speaker 32: to dominate, and we didn't do that, and everybody's just

2411
02:03:26,760 --> 02:03:29,280
Speaker 32: gonna talk about how they're the greatest team of all time.

2412
02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:30,600
Speaker 32: So that's all I got to say.

2413
02:03:30,600 --> 02:03:31,720
Speaker 2: Thank you, Yeah, thanks job.

2414
02:03:32,040 --> 02:03:36,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're gonna be in that conversation. Absolutely, particularly if

2415
02:03:36,360 --> 02:03:38,520
Speaker 8: they win in two weeks, they're gonna they're gonna sit

2416
02:03:38,560 --> 02:03:41,560
Speaker 8: there and they can say whatever they want. They're gonna

2417
02:03:41,560 --> 02:03:44,360
Speaker 8: have done something that nobody else has ever done. Nobody,

2418
02:03:45,080 --> 02:03:49,600
Speaker 8: and they've already done that, going back three times after

2419
02:03:49,640 --> 02:03:50,360
Speaker 8: winning it twice.

2420
02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:50,840
Speaker 1: It's uh.

2421
02:03:51,480 --> 02:03:54,120
Speaker 8: And the stretch of championship games they've just been on,

2422
02:03:54,240 --> 02:03:58,080
Speaker 8: they they got beat in overtime twice in seven AFC

2423
02:03:58,160 --> 02:04:02,600
Speaker 8: championship games. They won the other five and so that

2424
02:04:02,760 --> 02:04:08,600
Speaker 8: is a string of success that is unmatched by any team.

2425
02:04:08,920 --> 02:04:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. The favorite response I got from some friends of

2426
02:04:13,360 --> 02:04:18,720
Speaker 2: ours who are Chargers fans. They said, don't worry, we

2427
02:04:18,800 --> 02:04:20,960
Speaker 2: know how it feels. We're in the AFC West with

2428
02:04:21,040 --> 02:04:23,000
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, so we can relate. I said, oh yeah.

2429
02:04:23,040 --> 02:04:24,880
Speaker 2: I said, well we can relate too because we had

2430
02:04:24,920 --> 02:04:27,560
Speaker 2: the same problem in our division for twenty years. So

2431
02:04:27,600 --> 02:04:29,840
Speaker 2: don't talk to me about dealing with him in the

2432
02:04:29,920 --> 02:04:35,040
Speaker 2: division because we did that too. So it's like my

2433
02:04:35,120 --> 02:04:37,560
Speaker 2: son said on text last night, what did we do

2434
02:04:37,680 --> 02:04:41,440
Speaker 2: to deserve Tom Brady, followed by Patrick Mahomes, What did

2435
02:04:41,440 --> 02:04:43,640
Speaker 2: we do to deserve that? That's right, I'd like to.

2436
02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:45,960
Speaker 8: Know, and it's the truth. The one thing we got

2437
02:04:46,000 --> 02:04:48,840
Speaker 8: to reprieve that he's in somebody else's division, but.

2438
02:04:49,680 --> 02:04:50,560
Speaker 2: Still got to pass through.

2439
02:04:50,560 --> 02:04:54,160
Speaker 8: He's still got to get through him, and and he's

2440
02:04:54,160 --> 02:04:55,880
Speaker 8: got a great head coach and all of that stuff's

2441
02:04:55,920 --> 02:04:59,000
Speaker 8: going on over there. They're they're they are hitting on

2442
02:04:59,040 --> 02:05:01,160
Speaker 8: all cylinders and they all and that's why you got

2443
02:05:01,200 --> 02:05:05,440
Speaker 8: to play so well to beat them. He seems to

2444
02:05:06,920 --> 02:05:11,160
Speaker 8: raise his level of play, and we're I mean, Josh

2445
02:05:11,200 --> 02:05:13,800
Speaker 8: and this group are the only ones that seem to

2446
02:05:13,920 --> 02:05:17,720
Speaker 8: raise their level with him and just come up that

2447
02:05:17,920 --> 02:05:20,640
Speaker 8: much short every single time. And that's pretty frustrating, no

2448
02:05:20,760 --> 02:05:21,480
Speaker 8: question about it.

2449
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:25,040
Speaker 2: Let's turn to locker room clean out where Khalil Shakir

2450
02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:27,600
Speaker 2: addressed the media a short time ago. Here, hart Is

2451
02:05:27,640 --> 02:05:29,839
Speaker 2: comments say, after a very good season for him.

2452
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:33,200
Speaker 38: But numb, like I don't really know. I don't think

2453
02:05:33,200 --> 02:05:36,040
Speaker 38: it's really hit me at I mean, you play twenty

2454
02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:38,520
Speaker 38: plus weeks in the season and get into your routine

2455
02:05:38,600 --> 02:05:42,800
Speaker 38: and it's over just like that, you know, So uh yeah,

2456
02:05:42,800 --> 02:05:43,520
Speaker 38: I said, I'm just.

2457
02:05:43,560 --> 02:05:46,000
Speaker 7: Kind of numb right now. Does it hit any different?

2458
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:47,880
Speaker 7: Does it make it any more frustrating that it's once

2459
02:05:47,920 --> 02:05:48,400
Speaker 7: again to the.

2460
02:05:48,440 --> 02:05:53,320
Speaker 38: Chiefs Regardless, I mean, I know the Chiefs have you know,

2461
02:05:54,080 --> 02:05:56,800
Speaker 38: the past couple of years, you know, always beat us

2462
02:05:56,800 --> 02:05:58,120
Speaker 38: out by a little bit. But at the end of

2463
02:05:58,120 --> 02:06:00,880
Speaker 38: the day, I think a loss, regardless you know, whoever

2464
02:06:00,920 --> 02:06:02,840
Speaker 38: it is, it is, it's stings, especially when you're one away.

2465
02:06:02,960 --> 02:06:04,800
Speaker 7: So it is what it is.

2466
02:06:05,200 --> 02:06:07,480
Speaker 29: What'd you see from the vantage point on the final

2467
02:06:07,520 --> 02:06:08,120
Speaker 29: offensive play?

2468
02:06:08,240 --> 02:06:10,640
Speaker 1: You going over a motion, Josh gets some pressure. What'd

2469
02:06:10,640 --> 02:06:12,120
Speaker 1: you see from your vantage point?

2470
02:06:14,480 --> 02:06:17,000
Speaker 38: I mean I had my back turn for a little

2471
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:18,680
Speaker 38: bit in my in the motion and then turn around

2472
02:06:18,720 --> 02:06:22,160
Speaker 38: and uh seen him throw the ball. I may not

2473
02:06:22,200 --> 02:06:26,360
Speaker 38: much to say about it, really, Yeah.

2474
02:06:25,000 --> 02:06:27,120
Speaker 31: The I I mean, I know were just hours after this,

2475
02:06:27,400 --> 02:06:27,880
Speaker 31: this loss.

2476
02:06:27,960 --> 02:06:30,920
Speaker 20: Good time as an offense, as a player to process

2477
02:06:31,480 --> 02:06:33,080
Speaker 20: you know where you guys came up short.

2478
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:37,240
Speaker 38: Uh no, I mean today is just I mean, everybody

2479
02:06:37,480 --> 02:06:40,720
Speaker 38: you know is is feeling a certain way about it. Obviously,

2480
02:06:40,720 --> 02:06:42,560
Speaker 38: it sucks. It's not the best guy in the world,

2481
02:06:42,600 --> 02:06:44,080
Speaker 38: I said, especially when you're one game away.

2482
02:06:45,760 --> 02:06:46,960
Speaker 7: But the thing I l I love this team.

2483
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:48,440
Speaker 1: You know, there's no one in the finger.

2484
02:06:49,360 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 38: It didn't come down to watch specif to play at all.

2485
02:06:51,320 --> 02:06:53,120
Speaker 38: You know, there's a lot of things that every individual

2486
02:06:53,120 --> 02:06:56,120
Speaker 38: which they could have done better, you know. So, like

2487
02:06:56,160 --> 02:06:57,080
Speaker 38: I said, it is what it.

2488
02:06:57,000 --> 02:06:57,960
Speaker 7: Is, but we'll be alright.

2489
02:06:58,680 --> 02:07:00,200
Speaker 28: I think you said it hasn't hit you yet. But

2490
02:07:00,440 --> 02:07:02,880
Speaker 28: even in that kind of numb place, are there things

2491
02:07:03,280 --> 02:07:05,120
Speaker 28: thoughts that are starting to pump up that you know,

2492
02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:08,560
Speaker 28: at least get you excited for next year's run or

2493
02:07:08,680 --> 02:07:11,280
Speaker 28: just trying to calm down off of this game.

2494
02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:18,360
Speaker 38: Yeah, I mean I think the day after it's hard

2495
02:07:18,400 --> 02:07:23,000
Speaker 38: to not think about, you know, obviously points from the game,

2496
02:07:23,080 --> 02:07:25,320
Speaker 38: but also the future as well. And you know how

2497
02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:28,480
Speaker 38: we gel together as a team, and you know our

2498
02:07:28,480 --> 02:07:32,280
Speaker 38: team chemistry, how we bonded, and how every single person

2499
02:07:32,360 --> 02:07:34,720
Speaker 38: really appreciated deep down in person to the right to

2500
02:07:34,720 --> 02:07:38,200
Speaker 38: the left, you know special. You know I think we

2501
02:07:38,200 --> 02:07:40,600
Speaker 38: can do now is is is move forward and keep

2502
02:07:40,600 --> 02:07:42,760
Speaker 38: our heads up and you know, lean on one another

2503
02:07:42,960 --> 02:07:44,720
Speaker 38: and uh, you know, we'll see, We'll see what the

2504
02:07:44,760 --> 02:07:45,320
Speaker 38: future holds.

2505
02:07:45,960 --> 02:07:48,040
Speaker 26: Talk about how much you know this team loves each

2506
02:07:48,080 --> 02:07:50,520
Speaker 26: other and plays for one another, the chemistry and everything.

2507
02:07:50,880 --> 02:07:53,240
Speaker 26: What are you most proud of when it comes to

2508
02:07:53,320 --> 02:07:55,360
Speaker 26: just what this team is able to accomplish this season?

2509
02:07:57,360 --> 02:07:58,920
Speaker 1: I would say just are togetherness.

2510
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:02,240
Speaker 38: You know, you you start are the off season, you know,

2511
02:08:02,280 --> 02:08:05,560
Speaker 38: OTAs with a whole bunch of new faces, and you

2512
02:08:05,640 --> 02:08:08,600
Speaker 38: never really know how that's gonna be. You know, from

2513
02:08:08,640 --> 02:08:11,760
Speaker 38: the moment that you know the rosters put together, and

2514
02:08:11,800 --> 02:08:14,360
Speaker 38: even before that, like I said, OTA, so you know,

2515
02:08:14,440 --> 02:08:16,560
Speaker 38: guys were making a point to hang out, get to

2516
02:08:16,560 --> 02:08:19,880
Speaker 38: know one another. You know, I think when when you

2517
02:08:19,960 --> 02:08:23,000
Speaker 38: have a group of guys who you know, truly deep

2518
02:08:23,040 --> 02:08:25,440
Speaker 38: down care about not only you know the football player,

2519
02:08:25,520 --> 02:08:28,240
Speaker 38: but that person's family as well and how they're doing

2520
02:08:29,040 --> 02:08:30,760
Speaker 38: and checking in on them, I think that makes you

2521
02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:32,800
Speaker 38: want to play that much harder for them on the field.

2522
02:08:33,160 --> 02:08:35,640
Speaker 38: And it's a hard point to get to, and you know,

2523
02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:37,440
Speaker 38: that's what I'm happy that we were able to accomplish,

2524
02:08:37,520 --> 02:08:39,840
Speaker 38: you know, just really care for one another.

2525
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:41,840
Speaker 1: What's your off season look like, colop.

2526
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:44,960
Speaker 38: A whole bunch of weddings. I guess I'm at that

2527
02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:47,640
Speaker 38: age now where friends and stuff or I mean, I

2528
02:08:47,640 --> 02:08:50,640
Speaker 38: can't be mad. I guess I started it so, but yeah,

2529
02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:53,000
Speaker 38: whole bunch of friends getting married. So I got a

2530
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:55,400
Speaker 38: few of those, a handful of that of those, and uh,

2531
02:08:55,720 --> 02:08:56,160
Speaker 38: just training.

2532
02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:58,400
Speaker 31: Speaking of the future, has been reported that Joe Birdie

2533
02:08:58,440 --> 02:09:00,800
Speaker 31: will be back next season. Are you excited for another

2534
02:09:00,800 --> 02:09:01,480
Speaker 31: go round with him.

2535
02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:02,160
Speaker 2: That's my guy.

2536
02:09:02,440 --> 02:09:05,480
Speaker 38: Love that dude. I mean that's when I really started

2537
02:09:05,480 --> 02:09:07,800
Speaker 38: to take off, is you know, I know when he

2538
02:09:07,840 --> 02:09:09,440
Speaker 38: took over last year.

2539
02:09:11,120 --> 02:09:11,800
Speaker 1: I love the dude.

2540
02:09:11,960 --> 02:09:14,360
Speaker 38: There's not enough I can say about, you know, just

2541
02:09:14,960 --> 02:09:19,160
Speaker 38: the leader that he is setting for, his energy towards us,

2542
02:09:19,200 --> 02:09:21,320
Speaker 38: and his contagious you know, he shows up to work

2543
02:09:21,360 --> 02:09:23,960
Speaker 38: every day just ready to go and excited to be here.

2544
02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:27,720
Speaker 38: And I mean, I'm just super excited for the future.

2545
02:09:28,840 --> 02:09:31,400
Speaker 2: That is Khalil Shakira addressing the media and locker clean

2546
02:09:31,400 --> 02:09:33,200
Speaker 2: out day and yeah, he's right. In case he didn't

2547
02:09:33,200 --> 02:09:36,200
Speaker 2: see the news over the weekend, Joe Brady removed his

2548
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:40,280
Speaker 2: name from consideration for the last opening for head coach

2549
02:09:40,640 --> 02:09:42,840
Speaker 2: in New Orleans. I thought I was going to get

2550
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:45,040
Speaker 2: the players to play a little looser. No, they didn't

2551
02:09:45,040 --> 02:09:47,520
Speaker 2: have to worry about losing their coordinator, but that clearly

2552
02:09:47,560 --> 02:09:49,160
Speaker 2: didn't happen at the start of the game. We want

2553
02:09:49,200 --> 02:09:50,960
Speaker 2: to try to squeeze a phone call in here. We'll

2554
02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:53,520
Speaker 2: go to Ryan in New Jersey next. What's up Ryan?

2555
02:09:55,760 --> 02:10:01,000
Speaker 21: Hey, guys, you know, thinking about this game, assuming that

2556
02:10:01,200 --> 02:10:04,040
Speaker 21: the x'es and o's never changed, right, We're going up

2557
02:10:04,040 --> 02:10:06,920
Speaker 21: against the best offensive mind and maybe like the history

2558
02:10:07,000 --> 02:10:15,760
Speaker 21: of football, what like when you watch our team play offensively,

2559
02:10:15,880 --> 02:10:18,160
Speaker 21: take take away the old line. There's two guys that

2560
02:10:18,280 --> 02:10:23,080
Speaker 21: jump off the screen, Alan and Cook and obviously Allen

2561
02:10:23,280 --> 02:10:25,880
Speaker 21: is getting older here like every season, you know, we

2562
02:10:26,120 --> 02:10:30,160
Speaker 21: lose in these big games. He's you know, continuing age.

2563
02:10:31,480 --> 02:10:34,800
Speaker 21: We don't have enough guys that they jump off the screen.

2564
02:10:35,200 --> 02:10:38,240
Speaker 21: It's not a coincidence that the Bengals were able to,

2565
02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:40,920
Speaker 21: you know, take out the Chiefs and they have a

2566
02:10:40,960 --> 02:10:44,920
Speaker 21: physical freak, almost two of them, one being Jamar Chase.

2567
02:10:45,600 --> 02:10:48,160
Speaker 21: So you have a quarterback that can throw the ball

2568
02:10:48,200 --> 02:10:51,680
Speaker 21: in the air seventy yards throughout his entire career. You

2569
02:10:51,720 --> 02:10:55,160
Speaker 21: have never had a physically gifted wide out the guy

2570
02:10:56,200 --> 02:10:59,120
Speaker 21: dakes fourth round pick, fourth round pick for a reason

2571
02:10:59,160 --> 02:11:03,840
Speaker 21: because of his physical tools. The Smurfs, Brown, Beasley, Sanders

2572
02:11:04,240 --> 02:11:08,680
Speaker 21: all tiny little guys. So at what point are the

2573
02:11:08,720 --> 02:11:11,040
Speaker 21: Bills going to go for it? Because the problem with

2574
02:11:11,120 --> 02:11:14,040
Speaker 21: this roster is, yes, you hit on Benford, you hit

2575
02:11:14,080 --> 02:11:17,480
Speaker 21: on Bernard Nice, fourth, fifth rounder, sixth rounder, all these

2576
02:11:17,480 --> 02:11:20,920
Speaker 21: guys that you're shocked about, but all the first rounders

2577
02:11:20,960 --> 02:11:24,840
Speaker 21: are basically missus. They're the Greg Russeau's not a Nick Bosa.

2578
02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:27,839
Speaker 21: You know, these guys aren't like jumping off the screen.

2579
02:11:28,200 --> 02:11:31,000
Speaker 21: And if you're going up against the savant of offense,

2580
02:11:31,040 --> 02:11:36,480
Speaker 21: the Picasso of you know, playbooks, how do you beat that?

2581
02:11:37,760 --> 02:11:40,520
Speaker 21: If we're always gonna have McDermott and we're gonna have

2582
02:11:40,560 --> 02:11:42,600
Speaker 21: different play callers, Assume we get one more year of

2583
02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:45,960
Speaker 21: Brady and mcdermot's always going to be there. At some

2584
02:11:46,120 --> 02:11:48,600
Speaker 21: point you got to go for whether you trade a

2585
02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:51,720
Speaker 21: couple first rounders for you know, a wide out, or

2586
02:11:52,080 --> 02:11:54,800
Speaker 21: take a shot to move up in the draft, because

2587
02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:57,440
Speaker 21: in my mind, we've never had a guy And it

2588
02:11:57,480 --> 02:12:00,480
Speaker 21: blows my mind with Josh Allen as your quarterback that

2589
02:12:00,640 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 21: you say, run in a straight line and he runs

2590
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:06,640
Speaker 21: past someone because clearly game on the line, we're going

2591
02:12:07,080 --> 02:12:12,160
Speaker 21: screen to Tie and then little screen to Cooper. Clearly

2592
02:12:12,200 --> 02:12:15,160
Speaker 21: the problem in all year is guys can't win on

2593
02:12:15,160 --> 02:12:18,160
Speaker 21: the outside. We go to this kind of like gimmicky offense.

2594
02:12:18,200 --> 02:12:21,560
Speaker 21: Whether Josh loves this or Joe Brady realize Josh needs this,

2595
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:24,760
Speaker 21: but like, we don't have guys that can run traditional

2596
02:12:24,840 --> 02:12:28,440
Speaker 21: routes and just get open. And it's like, why don't

2597
02:12:28,480 --> 02:12:30,839
Speaker 21: we ever make a move and say go for it

2598
02:12:30,960 --> 02:12:34,000
Speaker 21: for a physical freak like example like a DK Metcalf

2599
02:12:34,560 --> 02:12:37,080
Speaker 21: a first or second round or for a Metcalf. And

2600
02:12:37,200 --> 02:12:41,120
Speaker 21: last night, Spagnolo thinking, huh, I can't play jail break

2601
02:12:41,120 --> 02:12:43,920
Speaker 21: Blitzer one safety over the top because DK is going

2602
02:12:43,960 --> 02:12:48,160
Speaker 21: to burn right past Jalen Watson and this megatron quarterback

2603
02:12:48,200 --> 02:12:50,800
Speaker 21: with a bionic arm is going to throw fifty yards.

2604
02:12:50,880 --> 02:12:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, understand it. Ryan. I'm sorry we're up against the break,

2605
02:12:53,400 --> 02:12:54,600
Speaker 2: so I got to cut you off there, But I

2606
02:12:54,680 --> 02:12:58,920
Speaker 2: understand the point you're making. Bill's first round picks. They've

2607
02:12:58,920 --> 02:13:02,440
Speaker 2: been a pick twenty five, pick twenty three, pick thirty,

2608
02:13:02,480 --> 02:13:03,920
Speaker 2: so I agree with you. You're gonna have to either

2609
02:13:03,960 --> 02:13:05,520
Speaker 2: move up in the draft in the top ten to

2610
02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:07,480
Speaker 2: get an elite talent, or you're gonna have to trade

2611
02:13:07,480 --> 02:13:09,960
Speaker 2: for one by partying with some draft capital. That's something

2612
02:13:09,960 --> 02:13:11,720
Speaker 2: to think about for this offseason. We got to take

2613
02:13:11,720 --> 02:13:13,520
Speaker 2: a break. We're back to close it up next year

2614
02:13:13,560 --> 02:13:32,680
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live. All right back here on One

2615
02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:35,560
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. And as we kind of put an epitaph

2616
02:13:35,600 --> 02:13:39,880
Speaker 2: on the twenty twenty four season, Steve, what will you

2617
02:13:39,960 --> 02:13:43,720
Speaker 2: remember most about this run at it?

2618
02:13:48,480 --> 02:13:49,200
Speaker 1: Unexpected?

2619
02:13:49,600 --> 02:13:50,080
Speaker 31: It was.

2620
02:13:52,960 --> 02:13:53,680
Speaker 1: Before this season.

2621
02:13:53,680 --> 02:13:55,360
Speaker 8: I don't know if anybody could have said that this

2622
02:13:55,480 --> 02:13:59,160
Speaker 8: team is gonna be better than the ones in the

2623
02:13:59,200 --> 02:14:02,440
Speaker 8: previous two or three years, and yet it kind of was.

2624
02:14:02,760 --> 02:14:06,080
Speaker 8: So I think that surprise that they got that far

2625
02:14:06,240 --> 02:14:07,600
Speaker 8: and played as well as they did.

2626
02:14:08,480 --> 02:14:10,000
Speaker 1: From where we were at the beginning of the season.

2627
02:14:10,040 --> 02:14:11,600
Speaker 2: I don't think I would have expected them to be

2628
02:14:11,640 --> 02:14:14,000
Speaker 2: the second highest scoring team in football. I know you

2629
02:14:14,080 --> 02:14:16,280
Speaker 2: thought they would be the highest scoring team in football,

2630
02:14:16,760 --> 02:14:19,400
Speaker 2: so that surprised me. I think the offensive line became

2631
02:14:19,440 --> 02:14:21,520
Speaker 2: elite and it's going to be intact for next year.

2632
02:14:21,880 --> 02:14:25,280
Speaker 2: All you have your two main coordinators back next year

2633
02:14:25,280 --> 02:14:27,720
Speaker 2: that are not changing for the first time in three years.

2634
02:14:28,200 --> 02:14:30,640
Speaker 2: Good stuff ahead, Thanks for the calls. We'll see you

2635
02:14:30,640 --> 02:14:41,440
Speaker 2: tomorrow at one
