1 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: 's One Bill's Live presented by called Light a health Doggy. 2 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: Welcome to a Monday edition of One Bill's Live. Two 3 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: days removed from Buffalo's Week fifteen win over the Miami Dolphins, 4 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: and it was a spectacular atmosphere Saturday night primetime game. 5 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: The snow didn't come as early as many had hoped. 6 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: It didn't come until the fourth quarter, but it did 7 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: eventually show up, and some people fell to just the 8 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: right time. I don't know, there's that's there's mixed opinion 9 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: on that, Steve, but they got the win. That was 10 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: the most important thing. It came down to the wire, 11 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: and as will explain in a few minutes, the Bills 12 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: were not alone in playing a game down to the 13 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: wire in a wild, ridiculous Week fifteen in the NFL. 14 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: Holy cow, yeah, he was going on yet, the least 15 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: of which was the Minnesota Vikings. Having now that one 16 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: started it the greatest comeback in NFL history thirty three 17 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: points down the Bills in the Oilers game, and Bills 18 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: fans know this. It was thirty two points, thirty five three, 19 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: then it was thirty three nothing after the first half 20 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,919 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and the Vikes came back and beat the Colts. 21 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: And I've already been asked by by a couple of 22 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: media athletes about, you know, make some comments. They talked 23 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: with myself, they talked with James lofton don Biebie Listen. 24 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: It takes two teams to have a comeback like that, 25 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: and certainly the cults are as culpable as the Vikings are, 26 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, to be praised for it for them. And 27 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: then you got three was it three other or three 28 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: seventeen point deficits that were overcome seventeen points or more 29 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: or more. Yeah, they were unbelievable weekend in the NFL. 30 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: Three such games. If I have that right here, let 31 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: me just double check to make sure. Yeah. So basically 32 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: you had three teams that were down by seventeen points 33 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: or more to come back and win football games. Six 34 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 1: teams Buffalo, Minnesota, Detroit, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Las Vegas all 35 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: came back to win after trailing in the fourth quarter. 36 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: It's pretty nuts. I mean, they're the NFL put this out, 37 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: so I'm not staking claim to this in any way, 38 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: shape or form. I just thought it was interesting. There 39 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: have been seventy one games in which a team has 40 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: come back to win or tie after trailing in the 41 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. This season, it's seventy one seventy one such games, 42 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: the most such games through the first fifteen weeks of 43 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: a season ever. Bills did it right. They came from 44 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: behind in the fourth quarter of doing they were down 45 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: twenty nine twenty one, yeah, down eight. Seven teams each 46 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: recorded a game winning score in the final two minutes 47 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: of regulation or in overtime in Week fifteen, Buffalo, Detroit, Jacksonville, 48 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: Kansas City, Las Vegas, the Chargers in Minnesota. Man, there 49 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: have been fifty six games this season decided by a 50 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: game winning score in the final two minutes of regulation 51 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: or overtime. That is the most in the first fifteen 52 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: weeks of a season in NFL history. We are watching 53 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: an unprecedented number of comeback victories in the fourth quarter, 54 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: and it's doing due largely to the fact that you 55 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: have a lot of one score games. And you used 56 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: to remember when it was almost like two It was 57 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: only like two years ago, Steve, where you saw that number. 58 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: Seventy four point eight percent of games are decided by 59 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: eight points or less. Yeah, it's got to be higher 60 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: than in that. Now with all of these been one 61 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: of those. It's been one of those seasons, no question 62 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: about it. Um, you've got I mean you look down 63 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: at most of these games are decided by eight points 64 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: or less. I mean, I mean, look at it's hard 65 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: to find one that's not like the b the Ravens 66 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: got beat by ten. Well even last night, the Giants 67 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: Washington game, that's eight points. I mean, there isn't any Yeah, everything, Raiders, 68 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: Patriots six points, Chargers, Titans three points. It was basically 69 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: the Bengals who won by eleven. They had an eleven 70 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: point down seventeen. Broncos won by nine. But then after 71 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: that that's Lions by three, Saints by three, Eagles by five, 72 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: Chiefs by six, Jaguars by six in overtime, Steelers by eight, 73 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: Bills by three, Browns won by ten over the Ravens 74 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: U nine, Ers eight, Vikings three, and you got Rams 75 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: and Packers tonight. Yeah, there's only two games that were 76 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: more than seven or eight points. It's unbelievable. Absolutely been 77 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: eight weekend. So here we go. Thirteen of fourteen games 78 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: that have been completed in Week fifteen have been within 79 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: one score. It's actually fourteen of fifteen out because this 80 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: was this was put out before the Sunday night game 81 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: and that was an eight point game. So it's fourteen 82 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: of fifteen. There have been one hundred and seventy two 83 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: games within one score in the fourth quarter this season, 84 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: once again the most in NFL history. Through the first 85 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: fifteen weeks. We got three weekends left, two weekends. And 86 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: think about that, Steve, that's with two eleven and three 87 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: teams a thirteen and one team. Do you know what 88 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: I mean? Like I realized the majority of the league 89 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: is all bunched together in terms of record, but it's 90 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: a lot of nail biters. Man. This awesome. Man, The 91 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: stress level around the country every weekend is a little 92 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: out of hand. Yeah, everybody's got three games left and 93 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: so that means us sixteen times three is what is that? Brownie? Okay, 94 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: that's how many games are left in the in the season. 95 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: It's yeah, the buys are over. Uh let's go what where? 96 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: Where do you come down on Saturday Night's game? Like 97 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: a lot of I know there are we always know 98 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: there are people on either side of the fence. Even 99 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: after a victory, like oh yeah, people are all like whoo, 100 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: we got to win, you know whatever. Five in a row. 101 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: You know, eleven and three, still the top seed in 102 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: the AFC. You know, yum, yum, gimme some. And then 103 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: you have the other people that are like, oh man, 104 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: gave up two big plays for touchdowns. We can't stop 105 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: the run. Tackling was not good. We still have drop passes. 106 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: So that's the other side of the ledger. You know, 107 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: where do you where do you fit yourself in? Like 108 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: to that whole thing. After Saturday Night's game, thirty two 109 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: twenty nine field goal at the end, one Bills are 110 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: still a team to beat. I'll say the one thing 111 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: I walked away from that game thinking in the big 112 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: picture the Miami Dolphins of the Buffalo Bills. That rivalry 113 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: has now been rekindled. That's a good riot. That's going 114 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: to be a team. Is gonna be a problem. It's 115 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: a thing from now on for the foreseeable future. The 116 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: Dolphins Bills games are always always going to be big. 117 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: And you know, that's what I walked away with because 118 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: the Dolphins aren't going away. They're really good. They're gonna 119 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: be good for a while. Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill 120 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: and Tua are going to be a problem going forward. 121 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: So that's it. That's what I walked away from that, 122 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: that feeling. I mean, I know that all of us 123 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: were poo pooing Ta for a long time. It's not 124 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,679 Speaker 1: good enough physically, his arms not strong enough, they had ada. 125 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: But you know what, they got a team around him 126 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: that can score points. They're head coach knows what buttons 127 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: to push for twa. He knows how to maximize his strength. 128 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: They maximize him to the nth degree. And you know 129 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: that's what you got to do. That team in Miami, 130 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: like the Jets, and like well maybe not in New 131 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: England yet, but both the Jets and the and the Dolphins, 132 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: they're built specifically to be a Josh Allen Buffalo Bill team. 133 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: And it's a it's a problem doing it that the 134 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: Bills are finding and out the Jets are a problem 135 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: in both games. And you know, the Bills split with 136 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: both those clubs, and so I think that rivalry between 137 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: the Dolphins and the Bills is right back on the 138 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: front burner for a lot of old time Bills fans 139 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: with me. I came away from Saturday's game with two 140 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: prevailing thoughts, one to a point that you were pounding 141 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: last week with all of these games that the Bills 142 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: have had of late, they are going to be one 143 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: of the most battle tested teams in the postseason yet, 144 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: and I don't know that it's close, just by virtue 145 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: of the fact that they have the second highest strength 146 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: of victory in the league and I believe the highest 147 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: strength of schedules still in the conference, and they're playing 148 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: a lot of nail bier games. You remember at the 149 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: beginning of the season when they said the Bills can't 150 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: win a close game? Do you remember then? I mean, 151 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: since then, they've had one two because they're you know, 152 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: going back to the point I made at the top 153 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: of the show, with all of these close games, they 154 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: have now been in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 155 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: eight nine games. Nine of their fourteen games that they 156 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: have played have been decided by eight points or less, 157 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: and they are six and three in those games this 158 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: year with an injury riddled roster I played, and like 159 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: you said, they've played the toughest schedule of anybody kind 160 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: of name. So that's number one. The first point I 161 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: came away with battle tested team, maybe more than they 162 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: have ever been before going into the postseason. The other 163 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: thing that I took away from the game was without 164 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, they lose that game by ten points maybe 165 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Oh yeah, and I get this. He is 166 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: he's the equalizer. If not. And we've we've used a 167 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: lot of different names for Josh, but like I called 168 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: him and asked kicking Ninja earlier this year, and he 169 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: is he he is an eraser. He erases bad things 170 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: that happen, even when it's him. You know, the two fumbles, 171 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: he erased it with a forty four yard run and 172 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: then dives over a giant pile for a two point 173 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: conversion to tie the game. And also right before halftime 174 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: winner going oh you're not he costs them a chance 175 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: is to get obvious field goal points by hanging onto 176 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: the ball times out and he throws a touchdown pass 177 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: instead of a field goal. Yeah, I mean, and I 178 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: and I've I've heard this on the timeline too, um 179 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: where fans are saying, you know, they they're they're got 180 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: both hands up in the air and they're going to listen, 181 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: we're depending too much on Josh. We are just asking 182 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: too much of him. He's running, he's doing Listen. That's 183 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: the world we live in. That's the world the Kansas 184 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: City Chiefs live in. That's the world that Broncos lived 185 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: in with John Elway. That's right, that's the world. That's 186 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: the world you live in with a unicorn at quarterback. 187 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: That's what the Philadelphia Eagles are living with right now 188 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts. You name those, That's what Snatti Bengals 189 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: are living with. Hold on a second, here, are you 190 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: gonna put Jalen Hurt? I'm gonna ask you this, Well, 191 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: the thirteen and one. They are thirteen and one and 192 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: some people touchdowns. He's that he is. Some people believe 193 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: the Eagles have the most complete roster in football. Um, 194 00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: right or wrong? Are you putting Jalen Hurts in the 195 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes category? Well, the thirteen 196 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: and one? And I gotta be honest with you, I 197 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: don't watch the Eagles. I have I've only seen one 198 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: of their games wire to watch. I'm just throwing him 199 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: out there because he's one of those guys if you can, 200 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: That's not the point I'm trying to make. I don't 201 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: know whether he does or not. I don't know enough 202 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: to say make a definitive announcement about all I'm saying 203 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: is there are teams out there who without that guy 204 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: go up in flames. Buffalo is one of them, Kansas 205 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: City's one of them, San Diego or Las one of them. Uh, 206 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: the Chargers I'm talking about. They lose that guy and 207 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: you can just push the plunger on the on the 208 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: wile E Coyote dynamite because your your season's gone. That's 209 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: just the way it works. I appreciate coyote reference, that's right. 210 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, you can say what you want. 211 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: Maybe they depend too much on Josh, but you know 212 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: that's the atmosphere with which you live, and that's the 213 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: way your team's built. Don't worry about all right, So 214 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: let me let me the Bills aren't the only ones, right, 215 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: Let me spend it forward this way. Are too many 216 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: of the plays that are being made in the scope 217 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: of the offense off script? In other words, are the 218 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: plays that are being called to be executed not getting 219 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: executed enough to your likings to where you say, that's 220 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: great that Josh can make these plays when everything else 221 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: breaks down. But we've heard Greg ko selsay when he's 222 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: on our show, it's tough to live that way week 223 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: to week, let alone win playoff games like that. If 224 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're gonna criticize this team, that's I 225 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: think the only legitimate criticism there has to be that 226 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: Josh has to do it too often. You think back 227 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs game last year, the thirteen second game. 228 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: He did it from the pocket, but he also had 229 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: a hurdle in that game. I mean, he's gonna have 230 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: a handful or less plays that he's got to make 231 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: like that, the off the script unbelievable. Only Josh may 232 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: look at the Chiefs Mahomes does the exact same thing, 233 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: handful of plays every game that you got to extend 234 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: the drive, stay on point, get a touchdown at halftime 235 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: with no time left on the clock. Those kind of plays. Yes, 236 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: they've got to be the guy that makes those plays. 237 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: But you'd like to see him be able to spread 238 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: the ball around, have an option, and do it more 239 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: often without doing it. And I'm absolutely right, And I'm 240 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: just gonna say this now, kind of shifting the conversation 241 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: forward a little bit. I know that Bill's offensive coordinator 242 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey has come under a lot of fire for 243 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: what reasons I'm not quite certain, And he was even 244 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: in the game Saturday night on Twitter, I'm like going 245 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: through my social media timeline. It's just like, what is 246 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: going on here? Because of that lull that they had 247 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: in the third quarter. I'm just gonna say unequivocally, it's 248 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: not play calling, people. This is pure When this team 249 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: has a lull, or they can't move the ball, or 250 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: they go three and out, or they're punting on their 251 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: first five possessions like they did against the Jets, I'm 252 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: telling you right now, dollars to donuts, it is an 253 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: execution issue. This is a team that leads the league 254 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: and drop passes. We saw penalties crop up as a 255 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: problem against the Jets last week, not as much of 256 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: a problem this past week. There were some, yes, and tackling, 257 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: which is a fundamental skill in this game, was a 258 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: problem this week. So people are like, ah, how are 259 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: we letting them run? You know it? To me, the 260 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: crux of the issues that surface from time to time 261 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: with this football team are purely rooted in execution. Josh 262 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: Allen confirmed this for me when I was asking him 263 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: about the success that the team had in the red 264 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: zone on Saturday night. They go four for four in 265 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: the red zone. The only reason they finished four for 266 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: five is because kicked the field goal at the end 267 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: of the game. I mean, Devin Singletary lays down to 268 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: not score, right, they would have been five for five 269 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: and not for nothing, they're eleven for their last thirteen. 270 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: So and I asked Josh, you know what's working in 271 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: the red zone, and he unsolicited totally keeps credit on 272 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey, who, according to him, drew up an entirely 273 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: new set of plays for the red zone this week. 274 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: You know, you're playing a division opponent the second time 275 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: they've seen just about everything with John, he drew up 276 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: a whole new red zone script for this week. Dawson 277 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: Knox references as well. He said, I got to run 278 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: those plays a ton of times this week in practice. Um, 279 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: and so he called a lot of the things that 280 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: he felt would work. Now it's on the players to 281 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: execute those things, and to his credit or to the 282 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: player's credit, they did execute him. I mean Josh Allen's 283 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: touch pass on that first throw to Quintin Morris for 284 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: the first touchdown of the game. He made it look easy. 285 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: That is good coverage. That is a hard throw to make. 286 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: You're putting it on a line over the man the 287 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: defender in coverage, and then it's a good catch as well. 288 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: But that's my point about execution, Like you can have 289 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: the best play caller in the league, but if you 290 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: don't have players that can execute, it's not gonna work. 291 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: Number one, and then number two, the offensive or defensive 292 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: coordinator is going to be unfairly criticized in my estimation. 293 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: So that's what I came out of the game with. 294 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: The problems that slow this offense down are purely execution based. 295 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: Ninety eight say what that Quintin Morris catching the en 296 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: zone was probably the best catch of the game that 297 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: got That was a tough, tough catch and he did it. 298 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: That was that was money good catch. And it's it's true, 299 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: it's always execution. And when you're talking about we've talked 300 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: about this before in the show. If the Bills lose 301 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: that game, Ken Dorsey takes a beating today just because 302 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: they didn't win. And we've got this Josh Allen guy 303 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: and Steph Digg's guy gave all these you know, Colby's 304 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: all the guys and they didn't win. So whenever that happens, 305 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: your offensive coordinator gets hammered because he doesn't know how 306 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: to call plays. But then you go down fifteen plays, 307 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 1: seven runs, seven passes, and a field goal to win 308 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: the game five fifty six off the clock. They they 309 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: they absolutely snuff the Dolphins. That was it, and they 310 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: did it with perfect execution and Devin Singletary not scoring 311 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: when they had thirties there would have been thirty seconds 312 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: left on the clock. And this is the team that 313 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: lived through the thirteen second game. They're like, watch this, yeah, 314 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: killing it. Yeah, they just absolutely relieve nothing. And we've 315 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: used this word a bunch, but it's almost they just 316 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: strangle him and just they just passed out. The Dolphins 317 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: just passed out, and so and here's done. And here's 318 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: the other thing. The players and even coach McDermott was 319 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: quick to credit Ken Dorsey for how he called that 320 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: final possession. You know, you got you gotta kill a 321 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: lot of clock. The Dolphins had all three of their timeouts, 322 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: so it's not just about or two sorry, two timeouts. 323 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's not just about getting first downs on 324 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: that drive to hold on to the football. It's about 325 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: getting the Dolphins to use their timeouts. Then after that 326 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: it's about killing the rest of the clock. So they 327 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: have nothing. And the reason why that's important against the 328 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: team like the Dolphins is because of the sixty seven 329 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: yard touchdown you saw from Jalen Waddle earlier in the 330 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: game only takes one play and the sixty seven yard 331 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,479 Speaker 1: run you saw from Mostart in the game. They had 332 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: two sixty seven yard touchdowns in this game. They might 333 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: have three of the ten fastest players in the league. 334 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Mustered Hill. Yeah, that that final drive, 335 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm not saying it it was planned, 336 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: but don't forget. They throw deep down the sideline to short. 337 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: They throw it deep, but the ball is underthrown short 338 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: to mackenzie and they get a pass interference call. Don't 339 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: you think. Don't think that's not exactly the dB they 340 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: were thrown at. Oh, don't think they didn't pick that 341 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: spot and that play for no read just random. That 342 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: goes into the stew of why you call a play 343 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: and they get the penalty. Continue to drive, Presto Chango, 344 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: Tyler bass. They call a timeout with usually they say hey, 345 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: do it with four seconds left. They call a timeout 346 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: with two seconds left, So that is it. The game 347 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: is over. At least it's twenty nine twenty nine. The 348 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: game is not gonna go and anything but overtime unless 349 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: he misses, that is it. And it was. That last 350 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: drive was masterful, masterful fifteen plays right now. As good 351 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: as the play calling was, it has to be married 352 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: with the execution. And I thought Devin Singletary in that 353 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: offensive line did an outstanding job running the football on 354 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: that last drive. I mean, they were getting production in 355 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: the run game on the final possession and it was critical. 356 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: I mean, let's not forget that drive started with a 357 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: sack and a holding penalty. They were looking at second 358 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: and eighteen from their own thirteen yard line, and I'm 359 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: thinking to myself, oh, geez, we don't want to give 360 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: the ball back here. But then Josh hits Gabe on 361 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: a shot for a fifteen yard pickup, and now it's 362 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: third and three and it's like, okay, this is reasonable now, 363 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: and then he hits Diggs to convert the third and 364 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: three and then off they go. From there. It's Singletary 365 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: plus two, Singletary plus six, then a short passed to 366 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: McKenzie plus five, Singletary again plus eight on first down 367 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: at midfield. That is huge, second in two. That's a 368 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: that's a coordinator's dream. They had two minutes. They had 369 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: five first downs on that possession, and then they ran 370 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: it again, Singletary out of the two minute warning for 371 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: another seven they they had. It was an eighty six 372 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: yard drive eighty six five fifty six off the clock. Uh. 373 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: And then they go after the rookie corner that you mentioned, Cohu. 374 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: They got interference. The fifteen plays went for sixty five yards. 375 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: Then they had the twenty one yard penalty or twenty 376 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: one yards and penalties against Minam. I don't know if 377 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: it was just the one penalty. I think it was 378 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: a pass interference. Yeah, unbelievable. It began did this say 379 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: the Buffalo and this couple beginning the Buffalo seven. That 380 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: can't be right. The drive was at the seven yard 381 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: line and it eighty six yards, right, he had another 382 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: ten Well, the Bills had ten yard holding penalty backed 383 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: him up ten yards. Oh, I got you. Yeah, So 384 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: that was the other part of it. But this is 385 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: the second time we saw the Bills kill the game 386 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: right to the last second. They did it in Week 387 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: four against the Ravens with a very similar approach. If 388 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: you remember, Devin Singletary gave himself up and didn't go 389 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: into the end zone there either, right, so that they 390 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: could kill more clock, forced them to burn their last 391 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: time out and kick the field goal to end the game. 392 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: They did it here again, and you want to talk 393 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: style points, you want to finish with a touchdown, You're 394 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: still giving the ball back to the other team with 395 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: time left on the clock, and they'd go waddle and yeah, tyreek. 396 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: So they did the same thing to the Green Bay Packers. 397 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,239 Speaker 1: Remember that game the Packers score late to get it 398 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: within ten. Yeah, but that that second half of that 399 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: game was the same thing. But they were just gasping. 400 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: But in addition to the execution, it's McDermott with the 401 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: clock management at the end of the game, and there 402 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: you leave nothing to chance. It's triple zeros on the clock. 403 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: Game over. Thanks for coming, goodnight, Irene. And you say, ah, well, 404 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, would it ever really made a big difference 405 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: if they if Singletary goes in and scores a touchdown 406 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: and leaves the Dolphins with twenty seconds. I don't think 407 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: there's any Bills fans saying that. And if you don't 408 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: think that clock management means anything, go ask Jet fans 409 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: how they felt about the end of their game against 410 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: the Lions yesterday, when with two timeouts left, Robert Sala 411 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: watches twenty five seconds tick off the clock instead of 412 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: calling a time out and letting his offense get up 413 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: to the line to run under the play. They burned 414 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: twenty seconds with under a minute to play. And what 415 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: happens at the end They get a long pass play 416 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: on the fringe of field goal range. Garrett Wilson wastes 417 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: three more seconds trying to get out of bounds. You 418 00:24:54,520 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: have two time outs. What are you doing? What are 419 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: you doing? Yeah, and the best you can do is 420 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: call a time out because you get tackled in the 421 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: field of play. They're lucky they put a second back 422 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: on the clock. The game almost ended right there. And 423 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: then what do you do? Yeah, I know you got 424 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: Greg the leg, but thanks so much, Greg Zerline saying 425 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: thanks for this fifty eight yard attempt at the gun. 426 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: Appreciate you wide left game over, you lose to the 427 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: Alliance and now you're seven and seven and you're out 428 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: of the playoff picture. Right, thanks for coming, Jets. And 429 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: it's horrible clock manage. It horrible bad clock management. That 430 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: what's your game? Well, yeah, I mean, it costs him 431 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: a better chance to win it, that's for sure. Nothing's guaranteed, 432 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: but that's the better way to describe it. And you know, 433 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: coming down to a fifty eight yard or for the 434 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: last play, that's hard. That's hard to do, and that 435 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: would have been and that would have just tied it. Yeah, 436 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: And the sad thing is they had, they had a 437 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: chance to do much better than that. You call the 438 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: one time out there after you got the first down, 439 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: and now you're now you still have a time out 440 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: at your disposal, right, and the clock stops at fifty 441 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: seconds instead you burn twenty seconds. You call that next 442 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: snap at twenty nine and use the end of the 443 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: game as a remote as a thing. They put a 444 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: second back on that should have been like twenty one seconds. Yeah, 445 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So then and you get 446 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: a first down twenty one seconds, well, then you got 447 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: a chance to get three plays right exactly. Even you 448 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: could even run one and spike it, you know what 449 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: I mean. If if that pops loose, you could even 450 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: run it up the middle, get fifteen yards and spike 451 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: it to end the game or to get down for 452 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: the final kickoff then or for the final field goal then, 453 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: and you're in you know, you're all the way down 454 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: to the it's a twenty. It's a you know, thirty one, 455 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: thirty eight yard field goal then instead of a fifty eight. 456 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: So yeah, they and listen, we're sitting here because Bills 457 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: fans know this, particularly with the Sean McDermott era. Here, 458 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: no team has learned harder lessons about clock management at 459 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: the end of the games. And this team, well, right, 460 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,959 Speaker 1: I mean you go all the way back, go all 461 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: the way back the way yeah, the sixteen point lead 462 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: at halftime of the Houston playoff game, Yeah, the Hail 463 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: Murray pass play, the Minnesota Vikings game, the first Miami 464 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: game this season, this last you know then, yeah, I 465 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: mean it's we've seen it a ton of times how 466 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: difficult it is to manage your timeouts and have the 467 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: right thing happen for you and have the player to 468 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: do the exact right thing, have the officials do the 469 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: exact right thing and give you a chance to spike 470 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: it in field goal rain. There are a lot of 471 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: things that unquestionably have to come together there, and sometimes 472 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: you're you're not going to get the execution that you 473 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: want that happens. That's human error, right, But coaches can 474 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: properly prepare their players and themselves for that matter, on 475 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: how to handle the remaining time on the clock, the 476 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: recognition of time and score, namely the points you still 477 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: need right if you're behind. And based on what we 478 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: said at the top of the show, Steve, these guys 479 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: are doing it every week. How are they still making 480 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: these errors from the sideline as a coach when you're 481 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: in week fifteen and you need the game. I don't 482 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: get it. Nobody's perfect, Okay, I'm not expecting perfection, but 483 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: these guys spend a countless number of hours going over 484 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: these things every single week. Robert Sala dropped the ball 485 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: from his football and he's and I'll say this though 486 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: about Yeah, he owned up to it, he goes, He goes, 487 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: I was overthinking it, he goes, I should have called 488 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: the time out there with forty seconds left. I was 489 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: just over and I That's that's the thing. Man. You 490 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: get in this and you know things are going so fast, 491 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: you're thinking, wait a minute, if we wait here to that, 492 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: you start making up scenarios in your mind rather than 493 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: just doing what's right in front of you, and That's 494 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: that's the problem them. You get you start trying to 495 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: think about what's the likely thing to happen, and am 496 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: I gonna need this time out? And you you can't 497 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: do it. You just gotta you have to live in that. Yeah, 498 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: you gotta stay in the momentum. You think about two 499 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: that and I know this, Bills fans and we all 500 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: saw this the end of the Vegas game and the 501 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: Patriots game. It's time. It's a tie game. It's a 502 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: tie game. Yeah, and the Patriots where you insert your 503 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: line here, what what are you doing? What are you doing? 504 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: You gotta you're trying. There's no feasible way you're gonna 505 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: make a game winning play from your own forty four 506 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: yard line to a forty five yard line. Patriots, the bank, 507 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: the Raiders in complete prevent the they know this is 508 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: then you start laddling around and then you don't have Yeah, well, 509 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: first of all, you don't go to you don't have 510 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: to do this. You're going to time ot, just go to. 511 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: They're handing the ball off for a reason. The co 512 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: coaches are handing off. Just get us to overtime. Guys, 513 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: this is a risk reward thing. Players that any players should, 514 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: especially like if a rookie does that, okay, maybe you 515 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, wait a minute, you can't 516 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: over zealous. You can't say that's just a rookie. That's like, no, 517 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: it's not a rookie. No, I'm saying. Even if it 518 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: was four guys were in Kohusman, they were all kind 519 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: of coming to help him, they were trying to get 520 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: the lab. They were all in. It's like they decided 521 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: in the huddle like, hey, let's try and do this, 522 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: like what are you doing? And then just I can't 523 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: say it with a straight face. You're gonna lateral it 524 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: to Mac Jones and he's gonna go sixty five for 525 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Mac, Well, here is the only thing and 526 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: I didn't see. Here's the only thing I can think 527 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: and I didn't see. If Jacobe Meyers addressed the media 528 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: after the game about the play, You've got Chandler Jones 529 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: standing on the Raiders logo, you know, in a black 530 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: jersey with a black logo on the is it possible 531 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: he just didn't see him there? Even even if you 532 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: don't see him, though, you can't throw that ball. You 533 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: just you can't throw that ball. You're tied. If if, 534 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: if the play's dead and you're not going to get 535 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: to the end zone, just take a knee and play 536 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: in overtime and let that play out. Give yourself. Extend 537 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: the game, especially on the road, right, extend the game. Yeah, 538 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: you gotta Yeah. It was crazy play and Belichick costly loss. 539 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick used the word mistake ten times in twenty seconds. 540 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: Oh wow, I think we could have all predicted out 541 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,479 Speaker 1: that was gonna go. You know that that kind of 542 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: it's amaze because here's the thing, and we all know this. 543 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: This is what keeps people like in Europe and other 544 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: countries away from NFL. It's a complicated game, Like why 545 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: are they lined up like that? Why because they you know, 546 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: they don't know. They gotta have you know, they gotta 547 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: have seven guys on the line of screams, they gotta 548 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: have this guy can't catch a pass. These got all 549 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: this stuff's going on. You get and these rules, end 550 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: of rules, and we've all grown up with it, so 551 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: we're kind of well versed in it at this point 552 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: in history, more so than are. You've got everybody who 553 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: knows about the rules. I mean, my mom knows about 554 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: the rule, right, So that's why it's so complicated. That's 555 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: why these guys tend to overthink it. They think, let's 556 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: try and make this happen. Because even if even in 557 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots defense and the Bills fans know this because 558 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: it happened to him against the Vikings. Sometimes you try 559 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: and make a play and it goes catastrophically wrong and 560 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: it ends up in a touchdown. The other way, which 561 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: is you never see I mean, who sees that happen. 562 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: You never see that happen, and all of a sudden, 563 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: you're seeing it all the time, said I have never seen. 564 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: So you don't even think about that happening. And as 565 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: a player, you're thinking, let's try and make something happen. 566 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: If worst comes the worst, what is fall on it. 567 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: They'll fall on it, we'll down it, we'll go in 568 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: overtime anyway, but at least we'll take this shot. Well then, yeah, 569 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: it does go catastrophically wrong, the game's over and you 570 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: look like a goober. That's just the way it is. 571 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: The game's complicated. You think, let's try and let's roll 572 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: the dice because it's not going to go that wrong. 573 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: Well it does, well, you know, Josh All and fumbles 574 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: a snap on his one yard line, it turns into 575 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: a touchdown the other way, or you you know you're 576 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: gonna go up and take a cherry pick and interception. 577 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, the receiver gets his hand in 578 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: there and you help him catch the ball instead of 579 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: ending the game, all that stuff happens. Well, you know 580 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: it happened to the Patriots yesterday. It's just even more 581 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: painful when you had the ball in your hands and 582 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: it's easily preventable. Our guys in the control room did 583 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: pass along to us some of the quotes from Jacobe 584 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: Myers after the game. He said he was trying to 585 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: do too much and trying to be a hero. On 586 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: the final play, he said he knew the score was 587 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: tied and the play did not call for a lateral. 588 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: He said he thought he saw mac Jones open, so 589 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: he never saw Chandler Jones obviously, probably with all the 590 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: traffic in front of him, he had no chance to 591 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: see in him. Yeah, but listen, mac Joe, you can't 592 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: throw it again. You got it. It It can't be like 593 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: a double forward pass or any because it went past 594 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. You can't come back and then 595 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: throw it outracing Jones. He's not outracing the right. Let 596 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: me say this the end, mac Jones. Listen, Mac Jones 597 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: did a play. They had a third and eleven, so 598 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: they had a hard play action left. Mac Jones is 599 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: all by himself headed around the right end of the offense. 600 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: Earlier in this game, Max Crosby is facing the wrong direction, 601 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: running it a dead sprint, sees it stops, and then 602 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: starts to chase him down. Mac Jones has to slide 603 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: going backwards because he didn't want to take the hit. 604 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: He got run down by a defensive end with a 605 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: five yard head start around the mac Jones ain't going 606 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: anywhere with that ball, all right, Last thing on this play, 607 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: what is mac Jones thinking as the ball is sailing 608 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: in his direction and he realizes Chandler Jones is going 609 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: to catch it, not him, Max Head At that point 610 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: he's like, he's you can see it on the all 611 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: twenty two. Mac Jones breaks down and has good position 612 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: on on Chandler Jones. As he's probably thinking about it, 613 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: He's gonna all, we gotta get him down, you know, 614 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: I gotta slow him up, get him down. And Matt 615 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: and Chandler Jones stiff arms Mac Jones right in the head, 616 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: like right in the year hole. Oh, he's like a 617 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: high school senior stiff arm in a middle school. Let's 618 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: not forget. This is a guy that got traded away 619 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: by the Patriots Arizona It Chandler Jones. Mac Jones is 620 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: a He's a walking meme, that guy. Yeah, I mean 621 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: they just keep he just like overlot arms or something. 622 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: He's Chandler Jones stiff arms. It is ugly. We got 623 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: a break here. We are laid for the break. When 624 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: we come back.

And the Bills 684 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,800 Speaker 1: are playoff bound for the fifth time in six seasons 685 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: under Sean mc dermott, the fourth consecutive time they have 686 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: reached and qualified for the playoffs. And now it's a 687 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 1: race for the top seed in the conference. And hot 688 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: on their heels are the Chiefs, who won again in 689 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: unlikely fashion, needing overtime and Jered McKinnon with a winning 690 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,720 Speaker 1: twenty six yard run in overtime to lift the Chiefs 691 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: to a win against Houston as they struggled. I don't 692 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: know if they struggled so much as they played with 693 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 1: their food, you know, against a one win Houston team. 694 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: Sometimes the Chiefs just get disinterested. I feel they do this. 695 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 1: They did it last year, they did it two years ago. 696 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: They they have the ability to shift gears. There's no 697 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: question about it. They're really good. They now they turn 698 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 1: it up for the Bills. We saw that in twenty 699 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: twenty in the AFC Championship game they played they were 700 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: the best game of the season. They completely played better 701 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: than they had played in three There was the best 702 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 1: game they played all year, period, and it was their 703 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: best game by a long long way, and they beat 704 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,320 Speaker 1: the Bills by fourteen or sixteen points or something, and 705 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 1: it was their best game at all. You could tell 706 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: that was the gear they went did never went into 707 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: in the regular season or even in the first playoff 708 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: game they had. Uh. Then the next year, last year 709 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: they rose up again. They had some disinterested games coming 710 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: down the stretch where it's just like, you know, let's 711 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 1: hurry up here, let's get to the playoffs. But the 712 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: Bills actually matched them in that game, and of course 713 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: it was a thirteen second overtime win. For the for 714 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. So the Chiefs do have that kind of 715 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: extra gear more so, and they can they can do 716 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: that with the saw schedule they have left. I mean, 717 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 1: they had the Houston Texans yesterday, they had the Bronchos 718 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: the week before, they got the Seahawks this week the 719 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 1: Bronchos again and the Raiders. So yeah, okay, so they 720 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna push them to the limit. Maybe the Seahawks 721 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,879 Speaker 1: can do it. Okay, maybe, but you know, you're looking 722 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 1: at the Seahawks team that is, I'll see where are 723 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: they at. They're they're about even now, right, they're seven 724 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 1: and seven. Yeah, all right. The Bronchos, well, we you know, 725 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: we've all been talking about the Broncos that Yeah, so 726 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: they the biggest Goos are four and ten. Yeah. The 727 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 1: biggest news in the conference standings though, is the fact 728 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 1: that Cincinnati took over the top spot in the AFC Norths. 729 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: So they go from the five seed to the three 730 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: seed as they leap frog the Baltimore Ravens, who lost 731 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: with their backup quarterbacks New Huntley to Cleveland thirteen to three. 732 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 1: Cincinnati wins by ten. I think they won yesterday twenty 733 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: seven seventeen after falling behind early. They're now ten and 734 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: four and just a game back of the Bills with 735 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: a head to head match up in two weeks Tennessee 736 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: to be a seismic game coming up is seven and seven. Yeah, 737 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: that's that's Jacks can catch up. Jackson Jags are a 738 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: game back, man. I mean, that's that's something el that 739 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: that is really going to be unbelievable for Jacksonville. I 740 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: know people are talking about the Jets and other teams. 741 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,879 Speaker 1: Is a tough out Jets. Miami Jags are another team 742 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: that have improved dramatically through the beginning of the two 743 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: in their last six, the Jaguars. The Jaguars are the 744 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: AFC version of Alliance. That's right. Their four and two 745 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: in their last six, one three out of their last four, 746 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: and they've got the Jets, the Texans, and the Titans 747 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: coming up.

You must 758 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,240 Speaker 1: be eighteen years or older to purchase a lottery ticket. 759 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 1: Please gift responsibly. Here's the biggest gift. Oh yeah, eight 760 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: seconds to go in the half. You can figure one 761 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: quick incompletion, you can still go for the field goal. 762 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: Josh Allen sits in the pocket, sits in the pocket, 763 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,399 Speaker 1: then with four seconds left, rolls out of the pocket. Anythink, well, 764 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 1: this is the last play of the half and it's over. 765 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 1: We're not going to score here. It's over. Josh Allen then, 766 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: as we've seen him do on a handful of occasions, 767 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: rose it back late James Cook waiting for it. Touchdown 768 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills And that was an enormous play, I think, 769 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: probably to end the half like that, and it's just 770 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: cherry on the cake of the Bills. They've been able 771 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: to do this under Sean McDermott. They've gotten really good 772 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: at the end of the first half and the end 773 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: of game situations where they can maximize points. We've heard 774 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: about double dipping. Didn't work out against the Dolphins, but 775 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: they'll tell you this, they got that first scoop. They 776 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,919 Speaker 1: got the first scoop with that touchdown that could. We've 777 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 1: all thought it was going to be a field goal, 778 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 1: probably because how are you gonna, you know, eight seconds 779 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 1: and you're gonna try and get something quick so you can, 780 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 1: you know whatever. No, Josh Allen makes a unicorn play 781 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: and it's a huge, huge boost for the Bills chance. 782 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,359 Speaker 1: So that is the biggest gift presented by the New 783 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: York Lottery. We do have to credit James Cook on 784 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 1: that play. It's still a rookie, though you would argue 785 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 1: Leslie in the season they're not really rookies anymore. But 786 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: working to stay alive for his quarterback as he's gesticulating 787 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 1: and telling people were to run and whatnot. He came 788 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: back to his quarterback. He doubled back on his route 789 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: and got open and that was the difference. And you 790 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 1: say we've seen him do this, Yeah, you saw him 791 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 1: do it two weeks ago in New England. It's the 792 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: same thing through it to Gabe Davis. It's crazy. You 793 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,239 Speaker 1: saw him do it last year in the playoffs to 794 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox lobbed it in there. And Steve, you saw 795 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 1: him do it against the Jets here in Buffalo where 796 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,800 Speaker 1: he got knocked out of bounds, rifled it down the 797 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: sideline to Steph Diggs rolling to his right, going out 798 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: of bounds making a play. We've seen it happen a 799 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: handful of times, Steve, to your point about you know, 800 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 1: getting it done at the end of the first half, 801 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 1: it's not just the end of the first half, it's 802 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 1: the second quarter as a whole. The Bills have scored 803 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 1: eighty two points in the first quarter this year. They've 804 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 1: scored seventy eight points in the third quarter this year, 805 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 1: and they've scored seventy eight points in the fourth quarter 806 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: this year. Pretty balanced scoring across the board. In the 807 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: second quarter this year, they've scored one hundred and forty 808 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:05,439 Speaker 1: seven points. Yeah, that's nice. That's almost double the other 809 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 1: three quarters this season. I mean, it's it's close to 810 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: like thirty eight. Forty percent of their total scoring this 811 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,759 Speaker 1: year has happened in the second quarter. They've outscored their 812 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: opponents in the second quarter. You ready for this one? 813 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: Forty seven to seventy. Yeah, that's where they've been there. 814 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 1: They've been making money in that quarters. They're still really 815 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: good football team. They're still going to be a problem 816 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 1: for any team they're facing the playoffs. The ease of 817 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: this and I'll say this, We've talked about it. If 818 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: the Bills can go in on Monday night and beat 819 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals in their own building, man o man, 820 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 1: that's that's a huge statement about how good this team 821 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 1: Donkey Kong. Then after that, and I said this before, 822 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: they ain't no stopping them. If they're able to do that, 823 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: there is no stop in this team unless they unless 824 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: they decide that they don't need to be stopped and 825 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 1: they lay down. They won't do that. But man oh man, 826 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: if they can go into because the Cincinnati Bengals are 827 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: really really good, and they're playing really really well, and 828 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 1: they got a ton of offensive weapons and they got 829 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,320 Speaker 1: a defensive I mean, they are really good. And to 830 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 1: go in on their building on a Monday night football 831 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,600 Speaker 1: game late in the season when they're pushing for where 832 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 1: they're they're defending AFC champs, Yeah, you're gonna get their 833 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,800 Speaker 1: best shot. And if you can go in there and 834 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 1: take it and give it back to them and win 835 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:38,920 Speaker 1: that game, that's gonna be an enormous, an enormous step 836 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,840 Speaker 1: in the right direct. I mean, that's that to me, 837 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: that's a statement game for the Buffalo Bills, after all 838 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: the expectations, after a couple of tough losses, after a 839 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 1: couple of flubbed games where they lost that they shouldn't have, 840 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: Now that they're eleven and three, to go in on 841 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 1: that stadium and win on Monday night with Bowl this 842 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:05,719 Speaker 1: next week, that is an absolute positive statement game. And 843 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 1: let's just and I think that that's a signal of 844 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 1: vein no stopping him. Yeah, you're running a foul of 845 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,800 Speaker 1: coach mcdermot's approach here. We gotta we gotta play the 846 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 1: Bears first here, Steve, I know you're excited about the 847 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 1: Monday night game. It's an AFC game. By the way, 848 00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,359 Speaker 1: Bill's eight and two in the conference. That's the best 849 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 1: conference record in in the AFC. Yeah, gotta take care 850 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 1: of the Bears first. And we didn't even touch on this, 851 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 1: and we probably will a little bit more later in 852 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: the show because we're running out of time here. But 853 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:39,680 Speaker 1: the forecast, Oh my gosh, for a Saturday. It's Chicago. 854 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:48,440 Speaker 1: The temperature high forecast is ten sustained wins of twenty 855 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: five to thirty five miles per hour, which would put 856 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 1: the wind chill at about minus twelve. You might be 857 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,800 Speaker 1: in for a run game on Saturday, And I go, 858 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 1: I tell you, we know Josh Allen can run. You 859 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:07,080 Speaker 1: know who else can? Justin fields? Yeah, three touchdowns last 860 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 1: week rushing. I don't want three touchdown rushing game. I 861 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 1: don't want to, You're right, I mean I'm kind of 862 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 1: looking way past. The Bears humped the breaks, which I shouldn't, 863 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,360 Speaker 1: But that game in Cincinnati has been looming there for 864 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: a month and a half, especially with the run that 865 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 1: Cincinnati's be not. Everybody's talking about how the Bills have 866 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,359 Speaker 1: won what is it now, five in a row? Right, 867 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 1: they've won five in a row, including three consecutive division 868 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 1: games to put them in the driver's seat for the division. Right. 869 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: I believe Cincinnati has won seven of their last eight. 870 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: So there are Cincinnati hot streak. They've yeah, they've they've 871 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,879 Speaker 1: got six in a row now and they've run seven 872 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:54,200 Speaker 1: of nine. Seven to nine. Okay, that was close. Um, yeah, 873 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,520 Speaker 1: all the ways. They haven't lost. They've lost one game 874 00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 1: since Week six. Yeah, so now they're right and that 875 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 1: was to Cleveland and suddenly they're a game back and 876 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,799 Speaker 1: they're the three seed. Now as we close that game, um, 877 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 1: they're they're for real, no question about it. And so 878 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:12,439 Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I know the Bears are gonna be toughing. 879 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 1: You gotta go into Chicago. It's a hard place to play. 880 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,399 Speaker 1: The field's cruddy, the stadium's cruddy. Even though it's new, 881 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 1: kind of new. It's yeah, and the Bears. The city 882 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: is going to live up to its name. It's gonna 883 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: be windy and it And I said this when Maddie 884 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: and I taped bills tonight. You could live your whole 885 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 1: life in Buffalo. Folks moved to Chicago and freeze. You 886 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 1: will freeze in Chicago. It's dangerous cold in Chicago. Yeah, 887 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: they don't get any They don't get the snow we do. 888 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,640 Speaker 1: They don't get the prinicipitation we do. But man, oh man, 889 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:49,120 Speaker 1: when it gets cold in Chicago, yeah, you'll die. You'll die. 890 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 1: It's cold. It is so cold. I went to school 891 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,560 Speaker 1: in Chicago. It is it is. It is like cold. 892 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 1: Do that again. It is so cold. All right, we 893 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: gotta take a break because when we come back, we're 894 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,760 Speaker 1: gonna have our good friend Michael Robinson from NFL Network. 895 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,880 Speaker 1: He was here on Saturday night as he said he 896 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,360 Speaker 1: would be for this game. The snow may not have 897 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,800 Speaker 1: lived up to quite the billing end game that we 898 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 1: had hoped for, But we'll get Michael's thoughts on that 899 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,839 Speaker 1: and the game itself next here on One Bill's Live. 900 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 1: These One Bills Live presented by Called Light of Health, 901 00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 1: our number two on a Monday.

Berth for 906 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 1: the fourth straight year. Set to join us now is 907 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 1: a guy that took it all in in person and 908 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: has thought out, well, there wasn't really that cold here, 909 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,480 Speaker 1: to be quite honest, and the snow during the game 910 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 1: was a little disappointing. It showed up way late. Michael 911 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 1: Robinson here from NFL Network. How are we doing, Michael, 912 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 1: I'm doing great, guys. First of all, I'm a little 913 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: bit warmer here back at home in Richmond, Virginia. I 914 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 1: don't know what she' talking about it not being cold. 915 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 1: I was freezing. But I had a great time. And 916 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 1: what a home feel advantage. Forget what the referee said. 917 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,880 Speaker 1: I love the snowballs. I love it all, man. It 918 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: was awesome. And to see Bills fans with just hats on, 919 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,880 Speaker 1: no shirts, all of that you built a little bit 920 00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 1: different if you're walking around Buffalo, New York without a 921 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 1: shirt on. It was awesome. I had a great time. Guy. 922 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,399 Speaker 1: I thought one of the things that I took away 923 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,920 Speaker 1: from that was that the Dolphins aren't going anywhere. I mean, 924 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 1: they're a playoff caliber team, but that's the rivalry that 925 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,480 Speaker 1: was so strong during my play my games, or my 926 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,320 Speaker 1: time with the team and the years subsequent to that. 927 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,799 Speaker 1: This rivalry between the Dolphins and Bills looks like it's 928 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: going to be around for a while. Yeah, it does 929 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,279 Speaker 1: look like it's gonna be around for a while. And 930 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 1: as we're talking about the snow and you know, the 931 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 1: number one seed and trying to get home fill advantage 932 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: in just that exciting environment, Like, to me, what a 933 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: home fill advantage? I think I put a video out 934 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,439 Speaker 1: there on Instagram early Saturday morning, just talking about the cold, 935 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,560 Speaker 1: talking about talking about the snow. People talk about going 936 00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:42,880 Speaker 1: to Miami right week three, right, and they put the 937 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: visitors a bench right in the sun. It's built that way, right. 938 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 1: What a home fill advantage. It's all good, right, guys, 939 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,360 Speaker 1: go down there, get cramps. It's a home fill advantage 940 00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins. As soon as I got into 941 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,240 Speaker 1: the stadium when we saw our set right there in Buffalo, 942 00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 1: I looked into the stands and there were snow on 943 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: the seat and I looked around, and I looked at 944 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,320 Speaker 1: Steve Snoop. I talked to Steve Smith and m J D. 945 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 1: And I said, bro, and they're not going to clear 946 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,279 Speaker 1: the seats. I mean, there's gonna be some snowballs being thrown. Man. Look, 947 00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:10,719 Speaker 1: I have a lot of you guys. I know that 948 00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 1: the refs got upset with it, but I was okay 949 00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,000 Speaker 1: with it. Man. I ain't gonna even lie. That's a 950 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,280 Speaker 1: home fill advantage. If you're not gonna clear the seats, 951 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 1: snow gotta go somewhere. Yeah. And they've been doing that 952 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,120 Speaker 1: for decades because I remember Mike Ditko when he was 953 00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,719 Speaker 1: coaching the Bears getting hit in an ear hole with 954 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 1: a snowball and he was coaching the Bears. So they've 955 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,640 Speaker 1: been doing that for quite a while. Speaking of one 956 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 1: Steve Smith Mike rob there was a little bit of 957 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 1: a why incident is a strong word, a little bit 958 00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 1: of a back and forth between you and Steve after he, uh, 959 00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 1: he put his hands on you.

There is no script. We're going, 975 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,200 Speaker 1: We're alive, and sometimes things get down like that. Yeah, 976 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,560 Speaker 1: that's and it is. You get out on that sideline, 977 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,840 Speaker 1: and I know this as an old former player.

You're with your 982 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 1: boys and let's go, you know, And it's it's pretty 983 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,120 Speaker 1: exciting to be down there, particularly on a night like that. 984 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,440 Speaker 1: That game between the Fins and the and the Bills 985 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:55,440 Speaker 1: was so anticipated across the conference and in this city particularly, 986 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,359 Speaker 1: and I know the media was looking forward to There's 987 00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,399 Speaker 1: a lot of people showing up looking for that game 988 00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 1: to be a nasty game out and it was so 989 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 1: I get the adrenaline pump you guys felt pregaming. Yeah, 990 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,000 Speaker 1: it was awesome. Man. While I was talking to Colleen 991 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,919 Speaker 1: Wolf before the game too, this was her first snow game, 992 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 1: so just taking the pictures and just taking it, taking 993 00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 1: it all in. But you talked about a little bit 994 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,800 Speaker 1: earlier how we were expecting it to be a nasty 995 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,359 Speaker 1: game earlier, and then the snow kind of came late, 996 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 1: like within the fourth quarter, deep into the fourth quarter. 997 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 1: And one of the biggest, one of the biggest, one 998 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,640 Speaker 1: of the biggest things that I saw just watching this 999 00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:35,240 Speaker 1: game when the snow started coming down harder, one offense 1000 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 1: stayed operating just like it was sunny outside. You didn't 1001 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,240 Speaker 1: see any difference. That was the Buffalo Bills offense because 1002 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 1: you got that man with that bazuka of a right 1003 00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,479 Speaker 1: arm and Josh Allen And by the way, Josh Allen 1004 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:48,759 Speaker 1: was awesome in our postgame interview, was awesome. It was 1005 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,359 Speaker 1: awesome when I did the interview last week as well. 1006 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 1: But the Buffalo Bills offense, they just did what they did. 1007 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins offense had to do some different things 1008 00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:59,920 Speaker 1: to get the ball downfield. They had to kind of 1009 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 1: from a formation, from a shift standpoint, they had to 1010 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 1: try to fool the Buffalo Bill's defense. And so to me, 1011 00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 1: it came down to the abilities of the quarterback. And 1012 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 1: I know we've we've talked about at nauseam earlier in 1013 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,640 Speaker 1: the season, how to a Tonga Valoa came in, came 1014 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: in in this season with some issues and that you know, 1015 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 1: and then over the last you know, first few months 1016 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 1: of the season, he was he was bawling out, he 1017 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 1: was doing this thing. But at the end of the day, 1018 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 1: if you don't have an arm or strong arm like 1019 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 1: a Josh Allen, if you don't have the you know, 1020 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:32,040 Speaker 1: the physical abilities like a Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes, 1021 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, or Jalen Hurts or some of the some 1022 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 1: of the primetime quarterbacks in the National Football League, when 1023 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,920 Speaker 1: you get into weather, when you get into January and February, 1024 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,320 Speaker 1: which you're gonna have to encounter some weather unless you 1025 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 1: get the number one seed, if you don't have one 1026 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 1: of those guys with those um, with those great abilities, 1027 00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:49,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to win games in the National 1028 00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,439 Speaker 1: Football League. All Right. So you referenced how you spoke 1029 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 1: to Josh after the game. You also mentioned that you 1030 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,200 Speaker 1: had to sit down prior. What was something you took 1031 00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 1: away from your sit down with Josh that maybe you 1032 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:06,320 Speaker 1: didn't know about him prior to speaking with him. Well, um, 1033 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:11,320 Speaker 1: obviously you think that like all franchise quarterbacks have to 1034 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,720 Speaker 1: have that you know, that it factor that franchise that 1035 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, kind of that presence about him right, 1036 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, you think that, And I assumed that I 1037 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 1: had met Josh before, but just seeing him coming, you know, 1038 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,600 Speaker 1: he got onto the camera, sat down and was like 1039 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 1: and the first thing he said was Mike rob and 1040 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 1: it was just like whoa, you know what I mean? 1041 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 1: He it was like we were boys. It was like 1042 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 1: he understood, He understood, like, Yo, you've been out here 1043 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: pushing the brand, You've been out here, you know Bill's Mafia, 1044 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 1: all of those things. You're one of us. And he 1045 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,600 Speaker 1: kind of accepted me that way. And to me, that's 1046 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 1: a sign of a franchise quarterback. That's a sign of 1047 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:50,080 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback that's very conscious of the moment. He 1048 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: knows exactly kind of what's going on. And even in 1049 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,720 Speaker 1: the post game set when you know, I praised about 1050 00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 1: those snowballs, but they were throwing snowballs at the set too, 1051 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 1: and I think they were some of the fans were 1052 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 1: just doing it just to kind of be funny. And 1053 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,200 Speaker 1: Josh stood up, like right before we came back on camera, 1054 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,920 Speaker 1: was like, guys, stop, that can't happen no more. And 1055 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 1: the snowball stopped. And I think there was a Miami 1056 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,520 Speaker 1: Dolphins fan that threw a snowball and Josh said, get 1057 00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:18,680 Speaker 1: him out of here. Like he directed the entire he 1058 00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 1: directed all of the fans. It was like he was 1059 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 1: the orchestrator of all this energy coming out of Buffalo. 1060 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,280 Speaker 1: He's one of those guys, man, and I know you 1061 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,400 Speaker 1: guys have heard me say it before. He's one of 1062 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:32,520 Speaker 1: those guys, one of the five or six individuals walking 1063 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 1: this planet that can will a team to win with 1064 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,760 Speaker 1: just the abilities that he possesses his eyes, his arms, 1065 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,320 Speaker 1: his legs. And then he had a nerve to sign 1066 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,200 Speaker 1: some Josh Jacks from me. Guys. I mean, you know 1067 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:44,960 Speaker 1: they don't having it, serri in it right now, you 1068 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,320 Speaker 1: know what I mean. My kids are gonna eat it. 1069 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, to give me this, 1070 00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this thing put on up in my 1071 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 1: man cave here a little bit later on to day. 1072 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, one of the things I learned is just that, 1073 00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,120 Speaker 1: I mean, the dude is a franchise quarterback. I think 1074 00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are a good hands for the next 1075 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:00,640 Speaker 1: twenty years. Well you think about this, let me give 1076 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 1: you some stats about the Bills their last twenty football 1077 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 1: games that going back into last season. Um, they're sixteen 1078 01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:12,800 Speaker 1: and four in their last twenty games. They're they're four losses. 1079 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,720 Speaker 1: One was the over at six point overtime lost to 1080 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,280 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs in last year's Divisional round playoffs. Then 1081 01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 1: they had a two point loss at Miami. They had 1082 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:26,680 Speaker 1: a three point loss to the Jets, and a three 1083 01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 1: point loss at home in overtime to the Minnesota Vikings. Uh, 1084 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,680 Speaker 1: they're a hard team to beat. That doesn't mean and 1085 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,600 Speaker 1: they're four their last five games have been one score games, 1086 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,120 Speaker 1: and they've they're four and some four and oh in 1087 01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 1: their last four one score games. Um, they're a pretty 1088 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 1: hard team to beat. And they're coming down three games 1089 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 1: left the regular season. They got there's a they're in 1090 01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,400 Speaker 1: the one seed for a reason. And even though these 1091 01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,440 Speaker 1: games haven't been pretty all the time, and they've you know, 1092 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,600 Speaker 1: it looks like they haven't been hitting on all cylinders 1093 01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 1: at times, they've got guys injured. They are still sixteen 1094 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,720 Speaker 1: and four over their last twenty with three of those 1095 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:11,000 Speaker 1: four losses coming by let three points or less. Um. 1096 01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 1: What does that say about the where they're at right 1097 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:17,560 Speaker 1: now going forward? Um? And I know I give a 1098 01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 1: lot of praise to this man on this show. But 1099 01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:24,440 Speaker 1: it's Brandon Bean. Guys, it's the guy who goes shopping 1100 01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,320 Speaker 1: for the groceries. So to speak. For the players, it's 1101 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,840 Speaker 1: the it's the guy who brings in high character guys. 1102 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,440 Speaker 1: It's the guy that can, it's the it's the it's 1103 01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:36,440 Speaker 1: the guy that brought in um, the the players who 1104 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:42,080 Speaker 1: can survive all of their secondary being on at one point. Everybody, 1105 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,880 Speaker 1: everybody was hurt at one point during this season. And 1106 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,240 Speaker 1: to have the depth to be able to survive that, 1107 01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,000 Speaker 1: to have the waves of rushers, to be able to 1108 01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. Oh, to understand that you needed 1109 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 1: a you needed a guy and vib Miller and so 1110 01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 1: you go out in the off season, you go get 1111 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,479 Speaker 1: them old and Bob Miller gets hurt and you still 1112 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,280 Speaker 1: survive that. You still go out there, you still are 1113 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: able to get after the quarterback. I thought Gregory Ruth 1114 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,040 Speaker 1: So I thought the Kwan Jones Ed Oliver. I saw 1115 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 1: those guys walking walking the field before the game. Those 1116 01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:13,200 Speaker 1: guys gave us some love before the game. But I 1117 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,920 Speaker 1: thought they showed up. They moved the line of scrimmage, 1118 01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:19,919 Speaker 1: And I thought Leslie Frasier always calls a great game. 1119 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes I get a little upset with that two safety 1120 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 1: how all the time, you know what I mean. I 1121 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,360 Speaker 1: don't like giving up the space in the run game. 1122 01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,360 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Leslie Frasier understands, 1123 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna band, but don't break, and when we get 1124 01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,760 Speaker 1: in the red zone, we're gonna we're gonna device is 1125 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 1: gonna tighten and you're not gonna be able to score points. No. 1126 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 1: By the way, we got one of those guys on 1127 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,480 Speaker 1: the other side that can get the ball down the 1128 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,160 Speaker 1: field at any time. It's just great job playing complimentary football. 1129 01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,520 Speaker 1: And this is a great roster guy. So to know 1130 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,000 Speaker 1: that you're sixteen and four, that we're sixteen and four 1131 01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 1: in the last twenty games, it's not a shocker at 1132 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 1: the end of the day because of the type of 1133 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,600 Speaker 1: players that we have in the Buffalo Bill's locker room. 1134 01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,400 Speaker 1: All right, so let's flip it over to the offensive side. 1135 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,880 Speaker 1: You already mentioned, you know some of Y's exploits. I 1136 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 1: thought this week was the first time in about a 1137 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 1: month that we saw him zipping some downfield throws more 1138 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,600 Speaker 1: than he had and whether that was a byproduct at 1139 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: the elbow he drew, we may never know, but it 1140 01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 1: was encouraging to see that. I was even more encouraged 1141 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,000 Speaker 1: to see the execution in the red zone. You know, 1142 01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,000 Speaker 1: they go four for four. They would have been five 1143 01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:20,720 Speaker 1: for five if they didn't kick the thing at the 1144 01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:24,000 Speaker 1: end because Singletary gave himself up on his way to 1145 01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,560 Speaker 1: the end zone, wisely to have them burn their last 1146 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 1: time out. Josh Allen after the game referenced Ken Dorsey 1147 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 1: and his plan to change things up in the red zone. 1148 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:37,960 Speaker 1: He had a whole new script of plays for the 1149 01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,080 Speaker 1: red zone this week. Maybe it's because you're playing a 1150 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 1: team for the second time division opponent, they know you 1151 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,919 Speaker 1: all of that, But the execution was on point down 1152 01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 1: there too. And in the last four games now, Mike, 1153 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,560 Speaker 1: the Bills are eleven for thirteen in the red zone. 1154 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,320 Speaker 1: Are they picking up steam at just the right time here? Absolutely? May. 1155 01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 1: You want to be building steam. You want to be 1156 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,880 Speaker 1: building them going into the playoffs. You don't want to 1157 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,480 Speaker 1: be plateauing. And that's exactly what this Bill's offense is 1158 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,520 Speaker 1: doing in terms of the red zone. A part of 1159 01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,840 Speaker 1: this offense, and I thought Ken Dorsey, the play caller 1160 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,200 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, did a great job this past 1161 01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 1: game again, he was taking his walk pre game. Got 1162 01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: a chance to talk to him just a little bit. 1163 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:18,600 Speaker 1: But I thought he did a great job of using 1164 01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs as the chess piece. I just finished watching 1165 01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,760 Speaker 1: they all twenty two for the second time, and in 1166 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 1: the red zone. You use the fact that defenses are 1167 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,720 Speaker 1: gonna identify where Stefan Diggs is. They're gonna say, okay, 1168 01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 1: where is that guy. We gotta make sure definitely we 1169 01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,880 Speaker 1: got one set of eyes on them, but probably another 1170 01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,280 Speaker 1: set of eyes, and if that other set of eyes 1171 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,040 Speaker 1: has another key, maybe stay on Stefan Diggs a little 1172 01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 1: bit longer. And I thought Ken Dorsey did a great 1173 01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 1: job again using Stefan Diggs as that coverage dictator. Right 1174 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 1: you put them out there, you see how the defense 1175 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,880 Speaker 1: is gonna respond to him. That last touchdown to Dawson 1176 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,280 Speaker 1: Knocks kind of that that that that little seven route 1177 01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,040 Speaker 1: that Jobs drew to him through an absolutely beautiful past. 1178 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,000 Speaker 1: The reason and why Dawson Knox was open is because 1179 01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,040 Speaker 1: of the way that the defense responded to Steph Diggs 1180 01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,200 Speaker 1: coming on the underneath underneath route. Two sets of eyes 1181 01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,840 Speaker 1: with the Stefon Diggs, two bodies with the Stefon Diggs 1182 01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 1: left a gaping hole in the back of that defense. 1183 01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,480 Speaker 1: But that's what this game is all about. Guys. Through 1184 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,840 Speaker 1: the first twelve to thirteen weeks of the season, you're 1185 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,480 Speaker 1: just getting all the information that you need to get 1186 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 1: in Then as a play caller, you're able to use 1187 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,880 Speaker 1: that information to kind of have counterpunches later on in 1188 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:30,439 Speaker 1: the season. So I expect Ken Dorisy to do even 1189 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,640 Speaker 1: more of that, especially with Josh Allen's legs. The closer 1190 01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 1: you get down to the red zone, so they're getting 1191 01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,040 Speaker 1: down close to it. They're going to Chicago, and we 1192 01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,640 Speaker 1: thought it was cold in Buffalo. It's gonna be way 1193 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 1: colder in Chicago this weekend. Maybe no snow or might 1194 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,560 Speaker 1: as much snow. It's gonna be way colder. And you're 1195 01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:48,960 Speaker 1: playing a Bears team. I mean they've lost seven in 1196 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 1: a row. Okay, and that sounds like wow, they're they're struggling, 1197 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 1: But you know what, they lost by five. They lost, 1198 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,920 Speaker 1: They lost by three to the Dolphins, one to the 1199 01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:01,439 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, three to the Atlanta Falcons, and they lost 1200 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:04,960 Speaker 1: by five to the Philadelphia Eagles. This is a Bears 1201 01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,200 Speaker 1: team that's not going on they've they've dropped some other teams. 1202 01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,640 Speaker 1: Do They dropped by nine to the Packers. They got 1203 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,240 Speaker 1: beat pretty bad by the New York Jets. But they 1204 01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,480 Speaker 1: are hanging tough with a lot of teams on their 1205 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,520 Speaker 1: schedule that are actually pretty quality football teams. They're not 1206 01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 1: going away. And Justin Fields seems to be having the 1207 01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 1: year where he says, you know, I am going to 1208 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,680 Speaker 1: be the future quarterback of the Chicago Bears, and if 1209 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 1: they build a team around me, we might win. So 1210 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,959 Speaker 1: what about this Bears game coming up on Saturday. Well, 1211 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,080 Speaker 1: first of all, I think when you look at Justin 1212 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:41,000 Speaker 1: Fields in the Chicago Bears offensive specifically, they found their identity, 1213 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,640 Speaker 1: and their identity is getting the ball in their quarterbacks 1214 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,200 Speaker 1: hands and allowing him to run all you know, run 1215 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,440 Speaker 1: all over the field and using that piece of their 1216 01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:51,760 Speaker 1: offense as a chess piece to force the defense to 1217 01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 1: have to to defend the quarterback run game, and then 1218 01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 1: it opens up some opportunities on the outside. So that's 1219 01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: one of the things that Chicago Bears have found to 1220 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:05,520 Speaker 1: work in this season. Number two, Justin Fields running ability. 1221 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 1: I didn't think he would have this type of running 1222 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,160 Speaker 1: ability in the National Football They got knew he had 1223 01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 1: movement ability, But I don't look at Justin Fields as 1224 01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 1: a runner. I look at him. I look at him 1225 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,760 Speaker 1: as a passer with special running ability. And right now 1226 01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 1: I think they're just using his legs and using that 1227 01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,720 Speaker 1: running ability to generate offense and make and make the 1228 01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,280 Speaker 1: playmakers on the outside get an opportunity to get one 1229 01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:29,480 Speaker 1: on one to win this game. Whenever a defender and 1230 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:32,360 Speaker 1: I hope Tremaine Epmans and Matt Milano and Ed Oliver 1231 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,400 Speaker 1: and those guys Gregory Rousseau and Jordan Poyer, who I 1232 01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,920 Speaker 1: know wants to get back on the football for he 1233 01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:40,640 Speaker 1: missed a couple of tackles this past week that I 1234 01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,960 Speaker 1: knew he wants to atone for whenever they get hands 1235 01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 1: on Justin Fields, he has to feel that he has 1236 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,760 Speaker 1: been tackled by one of the top defenses in the 1237 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,560 Speaker 1: National Football leagu Gonna look, guys, I'm not saying hurt anybody. Look, 1238 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,240 Speaker 1: I was a former player. I don't want I don't 1239 01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,600 Speaker 1: want any injuries anything like that. But there is a 1240 01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,280 Speaker 1: competitive thing to this. There's a competitive nature to this. 1241 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,360 Speaker 1: And when if a quarterback wants to go out there 1242 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,200 Speaker 1: run the football as much as Justin Fields runs the football, 1243 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 1: and as much as his offense leans on him running 1244 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,000 Speaker 1: the football, when he gets hit, when you touch him, 1245 01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,480 Speaker 1: you got he has to feel it. And again, the 1246 01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,080 Speaker 1: reason why I don't think he's a true runner with 1247 01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:16,760 Speaker 1: the football is that when he did get hurt a 1248 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 1: little bit earlier, it was just one of those he trip, 1249 01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,439 Speaker 1: kind of fell a little bit wrong, and he had 1250 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:23,200 Speaker 1: a he had a little bit of a show to injury. 1251 01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:26,040 Speaker 1: Real runners don't always fall that way and get hurt. 1252 01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, hit Justin Fields, 1253 01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:31,599 Speaker 1: get some turnovers, I think we win the game pretty easily. Yeah, 1254 01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,799 Speaker 1: Chicago very quietly is the number one rushing team in football, 1255 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,240 Speaker 1: and it's doing part to Fields rushing exploits and as 1256 01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 1: Steve mentioned, National Weather Service in Chicago Saturday potential blizzard 1257 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:49,439 Speaker 1: conditions Thursday into Friday, and then on Saturday wins twenty 1258 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,679 Speaker 1: five to thirty five miles per hour sustained with wind 1259 01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:57,559 Speaker 1: gusts possibly higher. It's the wind more than the cold. 1260 01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 1: But we may have two quarterbacks running all over the 1261 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,560 Speaker 1: yard on Saturday, you know, I mean, I know the 1262 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,400 Speaker 1: Bills are six in defending the run. Chicago not so 1263 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:09,400 Speaker 1: great twenty seventh. I mean, we might have two quarterbacks 1264 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,800 Speaker 1: over one hundred rushing yards on Saturday, Mike, we might 1265 01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 1: have two quarterbacks over one hundred rushing yards. But I'd 1266 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,400 Speaker 1: be upset of Josh Allen with over one hundred rushing 1267 01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,040 Speaker 1: yards because I want to see him running it that much. 1268 01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:21,920 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, this is an 1269 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 1: opportunity for you know, for Ken Dorsey and this offense 1270 01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:28,160 Speaker 1: and this offensive line. Rogers saffold all of those guys 1271 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,839 Speaker 1: to get the running game going from the running back position. 1272 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 1: All right. I thought James Cooking devas secretary, did a 1273 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,680 Speaker 1: good job with their opportunities. But I think this is 1274 01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 1: a game where the running the running game from the 1275 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 1: running back position. We should start to get this thing 1276 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 1: cranking and get it ready for the playoffs. The last 1277 01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 1: one from me, Mike, You're right the Bears could run it, 1278 01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,840 Speaker 1: and the Bills where they showed it last week against 1279 01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. They gave up one hundred and eighty eight 1280 01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,800 Speaker 1: yards on the ground against the Dolphins in a game 1281 01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,160 Speaker 1: where the Dolphins had like just over four hundred yards 1282 01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,960 Speaker 1: of total offense, so most of it was on the ground. Uh, 1283 01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:05,519 Speaker 1: you're playing a Bears team that can run it, they're 1284 01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,280 Speaker 1: good at it, but the Bills don't come out of 1285 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,560 Speaker 1: their nickel defense for anybody this game, you're playing a 1286 01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:16,599 Speaker 1: team that's number one running it and thirty two passing it. Um, 1287 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,160 Speaker 1: is it time for AJ Clin? Yeah? Maybe maybe this 1288 01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,040 Speaker 1: is a game where you go in against the analytics, 1289 01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,160 Speaker 1: go to the analytics, and you say, Okay, we're gonna 1290 01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,559 Speaker 1: we're gonna throw everybody's analytics off because in this game, 1291 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna go one hundred percent three linebackers and invite 1292 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,040 Speaker 1: them to try and beat us through the air. With 1293 01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 1: AJ Klein on the on the field, three linebackers on 1294 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 1: the field instead of Terren Johnson. Um, it may be 1295 01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:45,160 Speaker 1: a chance for the Bills to get outside that box. 1296 01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:49,559 Speaker 1: But then, in my opinion, ain't nothing broke about their defense. 1297 01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,200 Speaker 1: I don't know why you'd have to do that, right, 1298 01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:54,080 Speaker 1: So it's a tough call. So I feel broke. That's 1299 01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,560 Speaker 1: exactly how I feel. I agree with you from a 1300 01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, from a mental standpoint, from a football accuse 1301 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 1: that point, this team doesn't throw it too much. You 1302 01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,600 Speaker 1: look at with the Miami Dolphins and coach McDaniel in 1303 01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:06,920 Speaker 1: that run game, tried to do. Most of those big 1304 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,760 Speaker 1: time runs were weak runs running right to number seven, 1305 01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 1: right to Ron John. It's a smart you know what 1306 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying, and don't gonna be wrong. He does a 1307 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,599 Speaker 1: great job playing the run with his size and all 1308 01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:18,240 Speaker 1: of that, does a great job with all the motions 1309 01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,200 Speaker 1: and shifts. But yeah, this might be an opportunity where 1310 01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:23,519 Speaker 1: you think about three linebackers, but it's tough because he 1311 01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:27,120 Speaker 1: plays the run so well and this defense with all 1312 01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,720 Speaker 1: this Nickel plays the run pretty well. I just think 1313 01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,479 Speaker 1: it comes down to again, de Kawan, Jones, ed Olliver, 1314 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,599 Speaker 1: those guys in the inside, those defensive tackles, if they 1315 01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:39,599 Speaker 1: can make if they can penetrate and be playmakers against 1316 01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,320 Speaker 1: those double teams of the run game with the Chicago Bears, 1317 01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:44,960 Speaker 1: and not just put out arm tackles, but actually bringing 1318 01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,320 Speaker 1: them back down. I don't think it's gonna matter whether 1319 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:49,800 Speaker 1: we're in Nickel or base, is gonna start with those 1320 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,920 Speaker 1: defensive tackles in the middle of that defense. All right, Mike, Thanks, 1321 01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:54,840 Speaker 1: it's always good to catch up there.

I'm not a Hall of Famer, guys, 1328 01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 1: but everywhere I went, somebody knew who real Mic rob was. 1329 01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:18,360 Speaker 1: I didn't buy coffee all week.

Michael Robinson joining us as he does 1334 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:31,519 Speaker 1: every week after Bills games. We'll catch up with him 1335 01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 1: next week after the Bills and Bears. Steve National Weather 1336 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,760 Speaker 1: Service in Chicago. Okay, I'm gonna give you the full 1337 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:42,000 Speaker 1: breath again. All right, here we go Saturday. Okay. A 1338 01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 1: winter storm will impact the region Thursday into Saturday, with 1339 01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:52,080 Speaker 1: potential blizzard conditions Thursday evening into Friday evening if possible. 1340 01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 1: Those traveling should begin to consider alternate travel plans. Bitterly 1341 01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:05,280 Speaker 1: cold air and strong winds will bring dangerously cold conditions 1342 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 1: from Friday through Sunday key messages for this late week 1343 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,519 Speaker 1: winter storm. The worst conditions will be Thursday night into 1344 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:21,560 Speaker 1: Friday night. Too early to discuss specific snowfall amounts. Regardless 1345 01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,879 Speaker 1: of snow amounts, the greatest hazard will be possible blizzard 1346 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:29,080 Speaker 1: conditions from the very strong winds with blowing and drifting snow. 1347 01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:35,880 Speaker 1: And then they talk about lakeshore flooding and some other stuff. Confidence. 1348 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,080 Speaker 1: I love when the National Weather Service throws this out. 1349 01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:43,439 Speaker 1: They have a confidence subheader high confidence in dangerous cold, 1350 01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:49,200 Speaker 1: strong winds, possibly damaging, blowing and drifting snow, less confidence 1351 01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:52,240 Speaker 1: in which areas will be impacted most severely by snow 1352 01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:56,280 Speaker 1: amounts and drifting snow. I told you, man, here's the thing. 1353 01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,599 Speaker 1: Chicago sits on the eastern side of Lake Michigan down 1354 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,360 Speaker 1: in them. The lake shore in Chicago actually goes north south, 1355 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,160 Speaker 1: or that's what they think about it. Yeah, it sits 1356 01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:08,040 Speaker 1: at the bottom of Lake mission yes, but it's it's 1357 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:12,439 Speaker 1: to the western edge, so it's on that they actually 1358 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,400 Speaker 1: consider the lake north, the shore north south. It's not 1359 01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:17,840 Speaker 1: quite north south, but that's how they consider it. And 1360 01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:20,560 Speaker 1: so it's on the opposite side. Like for Buffalo, we 1361 01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:22,560 Speaker 1: sit on the eastern edge of Lake Erie and we 1362 01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:24,879 Speaker 1: get those lake effects snows. It's the opposite for Chicago. 1363 01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:28,719 Speaker 1: And the wind comes across the Great Plains and there's 1364 01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:32,800 Speaker 1: nothing stopping it, right, so it comes in. It is 1365 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:37,280 Speaker 1: the wind whips and dude, when they say dangerous cold, 1366 01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:42,280 Speaker 1: it's dangerous seriously. Well, I mean they're saying the forecast 1367 01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 1: high in terms of temperature reading is ten, but with 1368 01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 1: thirty mile an hour winds, the windshill is about twelve 1369 01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:54,160 Speaker 1: to fifteen below. Now yeah, yeah, it's oh man, it's bad. 1370 01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:57,920 Speaker 1: It's really bad. We've got a native Chicago in joining us. Next. 1371 01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:01,080 Speaker 1: Our own Bills reporter Maddie Glab is coming up with 1372 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 1: the Maddie Awards after the latest Bill's victory. Maddie Glab 1373 01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:07,160 Speaker 1: coming your way next year. On One Bills Live, presented 1374 01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:26,320 Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to 1375 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,280 Speaker 1: one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and one Mandy 1376 01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:31,599 Speaker 1: Glab Bills reporter joining us here. I hope they didn't 1377 01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:37,120 Speaker 1: get out there as we Uh, we're just discussing travel, 1378 01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:41,000 Speaker 1: that's right, how to get to Chicago. Yeah, Chris mentioned 1379 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:45,839 Speaker 1: your Chicago native. Yeah, so I've been the table. It's cold, 1380 01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:50,880 Speaker 1: dangerous cold. The way to describe it is you breathe 1381 01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:54,080 Speaker 1: in when it gets to the negative temperatures and your 1382 01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:58,840 Speaker 1: nose hairs instantly freeze, instantly freeze. It is. It's a 1383 01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:01,360 Speaker 1: different type of could. Yeah. I was in Edmonton in 1384 01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:03,840 Speaker 1: February at one point in time, and that happened to me. 1385 01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:05,760 Speaker 1: As soon as I walked out of the airport, I'm 1386 01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:07,760 Speaker 1: gonna go inside. I was just like, WHOA, what the 1387 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,240 Speaker 1: heck just happen? It kind of hurts. It's real. Yeah, 1388 01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:12,599 Speaker 1: it is real. All right. We have to digress from 1389 01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:16,240 Speaker 1: that conversation momentarily because it is time, as we do 1390 01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:20,160 Speaker 1: after every Bill's victory for the Maddie Awards, presented by 1391 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:26,960 Speaker 1: Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills, Maddie, 1392 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,559 Speaker 1: welcome another Bill's victory. I'm five in a row now, 1393 01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:37,639 Speaker 1: three Humongo Division wins. So where do we begin this week? 1394 01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,439 Speaker 1: So we're just going to begin with our quarterback who 1395 01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,200 Speaker 1: is just larger than life and what he's able to 1396 01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:46,720 Speaker 1: do on the field. We're calling him the Magic Man. 1397 01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,559 Speaker 1: That's the award he's getting this week because he makes 1398 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,080 Speaker 1: plays happen when it looks like there's no chance that touchdown. 1399 01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,960 Speaker 1: Pacity had to James Cook extending the play, heading to 1400 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,720 Speaker 1: the sideline, looked like nobody was open. Tosses the ball 1401 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,320 Speaker 1: up and it's six points on the scoreboard. Incredible that 1402 01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:05,479 Speaker 1: two point attempt that he had, being able to break 1403 01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:10,240 Speaker 1: the plane just inches, inches, maybe even centimeters, not even Yeah, 1404 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,519 Speaker 1: the metric system here is maybe a centimeter. I mean, 1405 01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,560 Speaker 1: who can do that? His forty four yard rush that 1406 01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,200 Speaker 1: he was able to just kind of break off on 1407 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,920 Speaker 1: his own four touchdown passes in that game. The clock 1408 01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 1: management that he had on that final drive of the 1409 01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,719 Speaker 1: game just to bleed that clock out six minutes. Basically 1410 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:34,840 Speaker 1: when he was hot at different points during the game. 1411 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,240 Speaker 1: I know they had that stretch where they went punt punt, punt, punt, fumble, 1412 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:42,040 Speaker 1: But when he was hot, it was really fun to 1413 01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:45,000 Speaker 1: watch when he was wheeling and dealing. And I think 1414 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,479 Speaker 1: every game we're kind of seeing the last couple of weeks, 1415 01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:52,639 Speaker 1: this right elbow situation, deal is not really a situation anymore. 1416 01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,200 Speaker 1: He's looking more and more like himself. And then when 1417 01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:58,479 Speaker 1: you are in the conversation of tying Dan Marino for 1418 01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:02,439 Speaker 1: most touchdowns in a player's first five seasons. Seasons, you're 1419 01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 1: doing something right. So Josh Allen, he was a magic 1420 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,760 Speaker 1: man in that win. It's funny because we talked about, oh, 1421 01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:12,360 Speaker 1: what an unbelievable play, and then at the end of 1422 01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,759 Speaker 1: the half, guy did it two weeks ago into England, 1423 01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:19,920 Speaker 1: the same exact thing. Yeah, that's just what same thing. Yeah, 1424 01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:21,880 Speaker 1: and it's the same that same play. Rolling out to 1425 01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,000 Speaker 1: his right, going out of bounds, throws the Dawson Knox 1426 01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,639 Speaker 1: in the playoff game way play wait wait wait, throws 1427 01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:31,639 Speaker 1: it to Steph Diggs. He throws it a rocket down 1428 01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,479 Speaker 1: the sidelines in the first Jet the Jet game here 1429 01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,559 Speaker 1: in Buffalo last year, he throws a rocket down the sidelines, 1430 01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:39,679 Speaker 1: says he's going out of bounds with a guy hanging 1431 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:43,800 Speaker 1: on his shoulder. Same play, Digs. He does the same 1432 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,160 Speaker 1: thing in Miami. Rolling out to his right, throws a 1433 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:49,360 Speaker 1: deep does it way across the field, down and down close, 1434 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:53,280 Speaker 1: hits Diggs under the uprights where Diggs fell down, got 1435 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,640 Speaker 1: back up. Let's just go down the list. I mean 1436 01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:59,560 Speaker 1: he does that, yeah, and yeah, well there you go. 1437 01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,559 Speaker 1: Another still amazing. We haven't gotten over it, yeah, never 1438 01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:04,840 Speaker 1: never get tired of it. Now, Oh no, I don't 1439 01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,719 Speaker 1: get tired of it at all. It's just it's uncanny 1440 01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:09,360 Speaker 1: how he just keeps doing it over and over and 1441 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,840 Speaker 1: over and over and like it's you know, oh, I 1442 01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,880 Speaker 1: do this every week. Thanks, thanks for watching. You'd probably 1443 01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:16,840 Speaker 1: do it in the waning moments of a Super Bowl 1444 01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,120 Speaker 1: to win it all? Right, Next up? That sounds good 1445 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:22,120 Speaker 1: to me. I'll sign up for that the He's Back Award. 1446 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:26,400 Speaker 1: He's back. That is Trenavious White himself three passes defense 1447 01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:30,680 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, almost had an interception there. He was 1448 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,639 Speaker 1: so close a couple of times, really close at one time. 1449 01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:36,840 Speaker 1: I think we're waiting to see that interception that he's 1450 01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:38,960 Speaker 1: hopefully going to get in the next couple of games 1451 01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,160 Speaker 1: played in one hundred percent of the snaps. He really 1452 01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:45,200 Speaker 1: is starting to look like himself being an impactful player. 1453 01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:46,680 Speaker 1: And I think we knew it was going to take 1454 01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:50,160 Speaker 1: some time, right coming back from that ACL tear, starting 1455 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,000 Speaker 1: to get some reps, you know, small percentage of the snaps. 1456 01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,720 Speaker 1: Now he is a full time starter again for this team, 1457 01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 1: and I think from here we can only go up 1458 01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:01,080 Speaker 1: because it was great to see him makes some plays. Now, 1459 01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,800 Speaker 1: who knows how often he's gonna get targeted because he 1460 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,360 Speaker 1: did have a really good game against the Dolphins. He 1461 01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,080 Speaker 1: wasn't really targeted in the game before against the Jets, 1462 01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,679 Speaker 1: but when he was targeted, he was a force. Yeah. 1463 01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,600 Speaker 1: He had three pass breakups in the first half of 1464 01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,040 Speaker 1: that Dolphins game this last week, so he was he 1465 01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:21,160 Speaker 1: looked like his old self and he was. He was 1466 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:22,800 Speaker 1: loving it. When the ball came at him and he 1467 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,000 Speaker 1: blocked it away. It was fun. Good to see you're 1468 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:28,760 Speaker 1: right next one, Maddie Ice in his veins. Ice in 1469 01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:32,960 Speaker 1: his veins, he got cold blooded last week. It's Tyler 1470 01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:35,960 Speaker 1: Bass for showing up again in big time moments and 1471 01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:39,719 Speaker 1: executing with the game on the line and the snow 1472 01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:43,960 Speaker 1: in his face. His teammates moved all the snow so 1473 01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:47,439 Speaker 1: he had a plot of land to kick the field goal. 1474 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,040 Speaker 1: It wasn't a long field goal by any means, but 1475 01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:53,880 Speaker 1: it was so so big. He's twenty seven of thirty 1476 01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,280 Speaker 1: this year. That's ninety percent a career high for him 1477 01:20:57,400 --> 01:20:59,760 Speaker 1: right now. If he keeps on that track. I mean, 1478 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:03,000 Speaker 1: he has been money this season. Not easy to do 1479 01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:06,280 Speaker 1: what he's He's had some really great field goals this 1480 01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,920 Speaker 1: season in big moments, in game winning moments, and he 1481 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:13,920 Speaker 1: has just answered the call time and time again. Yeah, Ravens. 1482 01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:18,200 Speaker 1: Week four had the late one against the Lions. I mean, 1483 01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:20,200 Speaker 1: they have a bunch of field goal wins and it's 1484 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:23,240 Speaker 1: because of him. And I wondered about this. I don't 1485 01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:26,560 Speaker 1: think he thought about it. I did because I just 1486 01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of scar tissue here in Buffalo, 1487 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:32,880 Speaker 1: and I thought of you know, he's twenty seven of thirty. 1488 01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:34,920 Speaker 1: As you pointed out, Maddie, I believe only two of 1489 01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 1: only one of those fails attempts was a true miss. 1490 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:41,160 Speaker 1: The other two I think were blocked. One definitely was 1491 01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 1: down in Miami in Week three. So even though it's 1492 01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,439 Speaker 1: a close field goal and it's relatively easy, even in 1493 01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,000 Speaker 1: snowy conditions, it's hard not to think that Miami's like, well, 1494 01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,040 Speaker 1: we got him in week three, let's go, let's really 1495 01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,040 Speaker 1: get after this thing, get a hand up, and maybe 1496 01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:56,479 Speaker 1: we can get lucky. So I don't know. I guess 1497 01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 1: I never feel like anything's a gimme anything. He's a 1498 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:01,679 Speaker 1: he's a real four was eight. The Bills are six 1499 01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,519 Speaker 1: and three in one score games. They're four no and 1500 01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,160 Speaker 1: one score games over the last five games. Remember when 1501 01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,960 Speaker 1: that was the storyline, they can't win the one score games. 1502 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:14,000 Speaker 1: We're talking about that earlier. That to me, Yeah, I mean, 1503 01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,840 Speaker 1: there's they've played so well. We were saying this, man, 1504 01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:20,840 Speaker 1: there's They're sixteen and four in their last twenty games 1505 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:23,719 Speaker 1: and the six point loss they took to the Chiefs 1506 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:28,679 Speaker 1: of the thirteen second game last Division round. They've lost 1507 01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:32,280 Speaker 1: three games this season by a total of eight points. 1508 01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:35,800 Speaker 1: They're a tough out and Tyler Bass is one of 1509 01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,240 Speaker 1: the reasons why. And I was right, he's money. Two 1510 01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 1: of his three misses were blocks. His only true miss 1511 01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,960 Speaker 1: fifty five yards in what game? Was the game? I'd 1512 01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:50,400 Speaker 1: have to look at that almost two, Yeah, but he's one, two, three, four, five, 1513 01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,479 Speaker 1: six seven. It was in the eighth game, which was 1514 01:22:54,920 --> 01:23:00,200 Speaker 1: that week eight, That was Jets eighth game, right, one 1515 01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:05,120 Speaker 1: two three, Yeah, the Jets fifty five yard or missed 1516 01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:08,679 Speaker 1: against the Jets. So there you go, all right. Next award, 1517 01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:12,800 Speaker 1: the Energizer Award. Oh, the Energizer. I'm given this to 1518 01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,719 Speaker 1: the snow because it seemed like when the snow started 1519 01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:18,800 Speaker 1: to fall in the fourth quarter, there just something got 1520 01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:22,479 Speaker 1: into Bills Mafia, something got into the team. The Bills 1521 01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:26,280 Speaker 1: players on the field. It injected energy into the crowd, 1522 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,800 Speaker 1: into the Bills. To finish the game, the Bills go touchdown, 1523 01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:32,360 Speaker 1: they force upun on defense, and then they hold the 1524 01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:34,760 Speaker 1: ball for six minutes and kick a field goal to 1525 01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:36,720 Speaker 1: win it. I think the snow played a little bit 1526 01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 1: of a part here. It It just it was poetic 1527 01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:44,400 Speaker 1: justice at the end, watching that snowfall, watching the Bills 1528 01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:48,080 Speaker 1: come to life, watching the crowd and their energy that 1529 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:51,040 Speaker 1: they had in the final minutes of the game, it 1530 01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,479 Speaker 1: was It was so cool. The crowd was into a 1531 01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:57,800 Speaker 1: big time, you know, for we for the conversations we had, 1532 01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:01,920 Speaker 1: Murph mentioned it. There were seventy thousand, seven hundred tickets 1533 01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,240 Speaker 1: to share. The whole place was full of drunken corner 1534 01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:07,400 Speaker 1: was full, and as always the Bills, they always they 1535 01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 1: clear the aisles, but the seats you got to kind 1536 01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 1: of kill yourself. And it was an amazing night. Is 1537 01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 1: one of those nights of people anticipated that might be 1538 01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,439 Speaker 1: like that, and I thought it filled the bill as 1539 01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:21,400 Speaker 1: a thirty two twenty nine win, tough game all throughout, 1540 01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,880 Speaker 1: and the home team came from eight points down in 1541 01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:26,479 Speaker 1: a fourth quarter to win it. And I think the 1542 01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,320 Speaker 1: reason that people got so amped when the snow showed 1543 01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:31,160 Speaker 1: up is because all we heard all week was it's 1544 01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:33,360 Speaker 1: gonna be snowing during the game, and then all of 1545 01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:36,400 Speaker 1: a sudden we get to kick off its day, and 1546 01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:38,280 Speaker 1: then finally in a fourth quarter, they're like, oh, yeah, 1547 01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:44,000 Speaker 1: bring it off. Yeah exactly all right. The count on 1548 01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:47,120 Speaker 1: Me award count on Me is going to our role 1549 01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 1: players getting involved, James Cook, Naim Hines and Quintin Morris. 1550 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I love watching players who aren't normally involved 1551 01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:58,200 Speaker 1: in the offense as much as we see guys like 1552 01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:02,320 Speaker 1: Stefan digs And and Gabe Davis and Josh Allen of course, 1553 01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,560 Speaker 1: and Devin Singletary seeing some different names get involved in 1554 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:09,120 Speaker 1: the mix and get thrown touchdown passes. When these guys 1555 01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:12,720 Speaker 1: don't get too many targets, it is important to do 1556 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,000 Speaker 1: the right thing when the ball is thrown your way. 1557 01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:17,840 Speaker 1: That Quintin Morris touchdown was a beautiful ball thrown by 1558 01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:21,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and it was a great grab by Quintin Morris. 1559 01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 1: James Cook the touchdown catch that he had when Josh 1560 01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 1: Allen was extending the play. James Cook helped extend that 1561 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:30,439 Speaker 1: play as well. I thought that was a mature heads 1562 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:34,919 Speaker 1: up play by a rookie, and Nihiem Hines's first touchdown 1563 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,479 Speaker 1: as a Buffalo Bill he was ready when the ball 1564 01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,439 Speaker 1: was thrown his way. It's good to get some guys 1565 01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:43,839 Speaker 1: like this involved now in December, right before the playoffs 1566 01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 1: are going to hit, because, like we've heard Sean McDermott say, 1567 01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:50,240 Speaker 1: like we've heard Ken Dorsey say, there were some new 1568 01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:54,360 Speaker 1: plays that the offense introduced into the game plan against 1569 01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:56,360 Speaker 1: the Dolphins and they were able to run them. And 1570 01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:59,320 Speaker 1: I would assume that's going to be the same going 1571 01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:02,560 Speaker 1: forward when you're in the playoffs and when people have 1572 01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:04,840 Speaker 1: a whole season of tape on you, well, yeah, and 1573 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,639 Speaker 1: when you can go to different guys and they come 1574 01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,080 Speaker 1: through for you, Now you're suddenly a harder team to 1575 01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:12,400 Speaker 1: defend as well, because it's nice way we put all 1576 01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,400 Speaker 1: this attention on Diggs and they burned us with these 1577 01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:17,400 Speaker 1: three guys, Like, maybe we have to think differently about 1578 01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:21,040 Speaker 1: how to defend the interesting I mentioned that of the 1579 01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,519 Speaker 1: four tds, none of them were to a wide receiver, 1580 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,200 Speaker 1: and you know that just never happens usually Digs, Davis 1581 01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,439 Speaker 1: McKenzie and of course Dawson Knox catches him. But man, 1582 01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:32,960 Speaker 1: oh man, an interesting game in the way it turned out. 1583 01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:35,840 Speaker 1: All right, go to around the league. Now you've got 1584 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 1: to count Shout Out out award. Shout out to Zay 1585 01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:43,200 Speaker 1: Jones and the Jaguars. The Jags getting a big win 1586 01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:47,120 Speaker 1: over the Cowboys. A really good defense they put forty 1587 01:26:47,439 --> 01:26:50,519 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys defense. They put up forty. Ray Shawn 1588 01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:53,240 Speaker 1: Jenkins had that game winning pick six. That was epic 1589 01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:58,040 Speaker 1: to watch. Zay Jones three touchdown catches. He's been heating 1590 01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:00,280 Speaker 1: up lately in the NFL. I think a lot of 1591 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,840 Speaker 1: us have probably picked him up in fantasy football on 1592 01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:06,800 Speaker 1: waivers if he wasn't already picked up in your league. 1593 01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:08,360 Speaker 1: I picked up. I picked him up in one of 1594 01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:10,240 Speaker 1: my leagues and started him this week, and I was like, 1595 01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:14,120 Speaker 1: oh my gosh. Three touchdown catches. You say, we, like 1596 01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,479 Speaker 1: all of us, are in the playoffs in our fantasy league. 1597 01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:22,120 Speaker 1: You know I'm in. I'm in five this year. I'm yeah. Well, listen, 1598 01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,479 Speaker 1: I was in a win an in scenario in week 1599 01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:26,800 Speaker 1: the last week of the regular season, and you beat me. 1600 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,520 Speaker 1: So just there you go. I know that was sorry 1601 01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:33,920 Speaker 1: very quickly, Maddie. The Best Game Award the best game 1602 01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 1: the World Cup Final. I mean, we had some incredible 1603 01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:40,599 Speaker 1: NFL games on Saturday and Sunday, but that World Cup final, 1604 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:44,040 Speaker 1: Holy Moley, that took the cake. Watching Messi and Embope 1605 01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:47,599 Speaker 1: go at it a hat trick for Embope, Messi finally 1606 01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,800 Speaker 1: gets one. It was. It was amazing. I was sitting 1607 01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:54,519 Speaker 1: on my couch watching it, like is this real life? 1608 01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:59,400 Speaker 1: It was so cool, incredible. Wish I was there, like 1609 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,760 Speaker 1: I love I love sports. In that moment, I feel 1610 01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:06,360 Speaker 1: like sports fans are just like, this is amazing and 1611 01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:08,920 Speaker 1: I'm so glad I watched sports.

It was that good. The 1620 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,880 Speaker 1: final was that good between two guys, and the storylines 1621 01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:38,760 Speaker 1: behind it, which were filled in by the goalkeepers, kick strategies, 1622 01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:41,160 Speaker 1: all of that stuff. It could not have gone better. 1623 01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:47,200 Speaker 1: And I think that kind of event does garner people 1624 01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:49,519 Speaker 1: who were like, I don't know and just saying all right, 1625 01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:51,360 Speaker 1: I'll give it a chance.

Can't win the super Bowl, 1672 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:42,040 Speaker 1: I'll actually make the playoffs. So um, that's goal number 1673 01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:44,439 Speaker 1: one down, UM.

We'll take it one game at a time, 1676 01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:50,880 Speaker 1: be ready for next week. It makes it all that 1677 01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:53,880 Speaker 1: much more worthwhile when you can get a win and 1678 01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:55,960 Speaker 1: you can and you can get back to the playoffs 1679 01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:58,600 Speaker 1: at home, and you go through a game like this. 1680 01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:00,840 Speaker 1: This is a that's a toughball team. They're a good 1681 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:04,240 Speaker 1: football team. And you know, it took everything we had 1682 01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:07,280 Speaker 1: to pull this one out tonight and so just it 1683 01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:10,200 Speaker 1: just makes it special right when you can do that, 1684 01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:13,400 Speaker 1: and um, you know, like I said, humbling, really that's 1685 01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,200 Speaker 1: that's really how I feel about it.

And this 1689 01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:31,440 Speaker 1: place is this place is unique. So those are soundbits 1690 01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:37,040 Speaker 1: presented by Tim Horton's and Steve peter King in his 1691 01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:43,280 Speaker 1: Football Morning in America column, commented on the Bill's performance 1692 01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:49,400 Speaker 1: in snowy or super cold weather, and basically his take 1693 01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:51,879 Speaker 1: on cold weather games for the Bills is the following. 1694 01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:54,960 Speaker 1: I laugh when I hear people say the Bills are 1695 01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:58,360 Speaker 1: a better Dome team than an Iceberg team. The last 1696 01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:02,559 Speaker 1: two games in ice Station in zebra weather Bills forty four, 1697 01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:06,519 Speaker 1: Patriots seven. Last January. He's got that a little wrong. 1698 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:10,000 Speaker 1: It was forty seven seventeen and thirty two twenty nine 1699 01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:14,320 Speaker 1: over the Dolphins Saturday night. So he has the total 1700 01:33:14,439 --> 01:33:18,320 Speaker 1: as seventy six points. It's actually seventy nine points in 1701 01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:22,040 Speaker 1: eight quarters of awful cold weather kill the better in 1702 01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:27,800 Speaker 1: a dome team narrative. So yeah, because we see that 1703 01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:32,120 Speaker 1: still out there the Bills. The Bills are good against 1704 01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:35,400 Speaker 1: everybody and in any condition. They're the super Bowl favorite 1705 01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:38,360 Speaker 1: because of that reason, because of their quarterback, because of 1706 01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:42,320 Speaker 1: their defense, because of their ability to move the football, 1707 01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:44,760 Speaker 1: to run the football, both with their quarterback and their 1708 01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:47,720 Speaker 1: running backs. The way they handled that game, this game 1709 01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:50,320 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, in the waiting moments of the first 1710 01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:56,720 Speaker 1: half and then the final drive of the game, that's unbelievable. 1711 01:33:56,800 --> 01:34:04,000 Speaker 1: That's dominant football. That's a pro caliber, playoff caliber, super 1712 01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:07,559 Speaker 1: Bowl contending type of team. They've lost three games by 1713 01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:11,679 Speaker 1: eight points this year, and then two of those losses, 1714 01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:16,000 Speaker 1: they're like, they could not believe that game got away 1715 01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:18,720 Speaker 1: from then. It shouldn't have they should. They got every 1716 01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:20,599 Speaker 1: right to think they should be thirteen to one right 1717 01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:25,240 Speaker 1: now themselves. Two games slithered away from them in the 1718 01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:28,680 Speaker 1: worst possible catastrophic moments that you can imagine a game 1719 01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:31,400 Speaker 1: getting away from a team, and they do what they 1720 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:34,559 Speaker 1: did to the Dolphins, who, during a five game winning 1721 01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:36,880 Speaker 1: streak of their own this season, people were saying, that's 1722 01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:39,439 Speaker 1: a super Bowl team. Well, the Bills just lumped them 1723 01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:41,400 Speaker 1: up and held them on the field for five to 1724 01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:47,000 Speaker 1: fifty six fifteen plays, seven runs, seven passes, and deliberately 1725 01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:50,280 Speaker 1: ran the clock out to give them the final kick. 1726 01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:54,439 Speaker 1: This team, this team's going. They're four and oz in 1727 01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:56,680 Speaker 1: their last out of the last five weeks. They're four 1728 01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:59,160 Speaker 1: and no in games decided by one score four No. 1729 01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:03,559 Speaker 1: They've had the toughest schedule coming down of all teams 1730 01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:07,639 Speaker 1: in the entire league, their strength of victory, strength of schedule, 1731 01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:11,960 Speaker 1: and they've been injured the entire year doing it. So 1732 01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:16,479 Speaker 1: whether they get the home field advantage or not throughout 1733 01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:21,960 Speaker 1: the playoffs, ain't nobody wore a piece of this team? Nobody? Yeah, 1734 01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:26,160 Speaker 1: I would agree. And what is looming larger and larger 1735 01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:32,840 Speaker 1: is the Week seventeen game. Yes, they got to take 1736 01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:35,040 Speaker 1: care of business this week in Chicago, But the Week 1737 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:41,080 Speaker 1: seventeen game, Monday Night Football, January second, at Cincinnati suddenly 1738 01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:48,400 Speaker 1: carries a lot more weight because Cincinnati leapfrogged into the 1739 01:35:48,479 --> 01:35:51,600 Speaker 1: number three seed after overtaking the Baltimore Ravens for the 1740 01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:56,680 Speaker 1: AFC North Division lead. Prior to that, Buffalo had the 1741 01:35:56,800 --> 01:36:00,599 Speaker 1: head to head tiebreakers against all the other AFC Divison leaders. 1742 01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:04,760 Speaker 1: Kansas City beat him head to head, Tennessee beat him 1743 01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:07,920 Speaker 1: head to head, Baltimore beat him head to head. The 1744 01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:10,280 Speaker 1: only team you did not beat head to head because 1745 01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:13,280 Speaker 1: you haven't played him yet is the Cincinnati Bengals. And 1746 01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,800 Speaker 1: if the Bills hold serve this week improved to twelve 1747 01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:20,360 Speaker 1: and three, and Cincinnati holds serve next week and improves 1748 01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:24,559 Speaker 1: to eleven and four, the Week seventeen game is suddenly 1749 01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:34,560 Speaker 1: jugundo because if you like that, because if yeah, I 1750 01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:39,120 Speaker 1: almost got doctor Pepper, that's right. If if Cincinnati, I 1751 01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:42,240 Speaker 1: mean you want to talk about motivation, it's a game 1752 01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:45,440 Speaker 1: essentially for the top seat in the conference. Because Cincinnati 1753 01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:48,519 Speaker 1: also beat Kansas City, did they not? They did? Yeah, 1754 01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:51,200 Speaker 1: so they have the tiebreaker over Kansas City two head 1755 01:36:51,240 --> 01:36:55,800 Speaker 1: to head. So Cincinnati, you beat Buffalo, now you have 1756 01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,479 Speaker 1: the head to head on Buffalo, you have the head 1757 01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:02,960 Speaker 1: to head on Kansas City, and you're also twelve and 1758 01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:05,880 Speaker 1: four because you just handed Buffalo they're fourth loss in 1759 01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:10,760 Speaker 1: week seventeen. That is the game. Yeah, and that is 1760 01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:12,880 Speaker 1: the Game's only it's week seventeen. I get it and 1761 01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:18,400 Speaker 1: all that. But here's the thing they have. They have 1762 01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:21,879 Speaker 1: the Patriots. The Cincinnati Bengals are gonna play the Patriots 1763 01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:26,960 Speaker 1: this week, while the Bills are playing Chicago. Then it's 1764 01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:30,160 Speaker 1: the Bengals and the and the Bills in that Week 1765 01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:34,320 Speaker 1: seventeen game, and then the Bills have got the Patriots, 1766 01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:39,160 Speaker 1: and the Bengals have got the Ravens. Two division teams. 1767 01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:44,080 Speaker 1: There's no man, there's no guarantees how this whole thing's 1768 01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:46,719 Speaker 1: going to turn out. I don't have any idea Kansas 1769 01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:48,320 Speaker 1: City is gonna win out. You just gotta kind of 1770 01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:51,800 Speaker 1: count on it, right, I mean, that's just the way 1771 01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:56,599 Speaker 1: those guys are going there. They're scuffling through. Uh, they're 1772 01:37:56,640 --> 01:38:00,679 Speaker 1: scuffling through. Let's see, want to see they got they're 1773 01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:04,479 Speaker 1: scuffling six and one over their last seven games, right, 1774 01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they're just and they're scuffling along. Nobody can 1775 01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:11,160 Speaker 1: beat them. Cincinnati beat them by three during that whole stretch. 1776 01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:15,200 Speaker 1: And now they've got the Seahawks, the Broncos and the Raiders. 1777 01:38:15,200 --> 01:38:19,040 Speaker 1: The Bronchos and the Raiders are despite what happened with 1778 01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:21,080 Speaker 1: the Raiders, Jester, they're laughing stock. I mean, come on, 1779 01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,840 Speaker 1: the Seahawks maybe, but the Chiefs are gonna They're gonna 1780 01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:27,439 Speaker 1: win out.

Next in Eric Wood here for our number 1789 01:38:54,360 --> 01:39:42,320 Speaker 1: three on one Bills Live These One Bill's Live presented 1790 01:39:42,360 --> 01:39:45,880 Speaker 1: by Called Light of Health. Our number three on a 1791 01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:48,800 Speaker 1: Buffalo victory Monday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and 1792 01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:52,960 Speaker 1: joined now by Bill's radio color analyst Eric Wood, who 1793 01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:55,400 Speaker 1: had an interesting view from the booth. I think he 1794 01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:58,880 Speaker 1: actually took a couple of screenshots on his phone at 1795 01:39:58,920 --> 01:40:00,559 Speaker 1: the end of that thing and put them out all 1796 01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:04,360 Speaker 1: over social media. Eric, how are we doing. I'm doing great. Yeah, 1797 01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:07,439 Speaker 1: it's it's fun. I took a video of one of 1798 01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:09,960 Speaker 1: the game winning field goals this year, there was a 1799 01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:11,880 Speaker 1: couple of them, and put them out there and it's 1800 01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:13,439 Speaker 1: really cool. If you turn the volume up, you can 1801 01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:16,160 Speaker 1: hear Murph calling the game. Yeah, by my side and 1802 01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,800 Speaker 1: the first one I intended for just personal use, to 1803 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:24,160 Speaker 1: hold for my own memory. Put it out there. Bill's 1804 01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:27,559 Speaker 1: fans seemed to enjoy it, so why not share it along? Yeah, 1805 01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,080 Speaker 1: no doubt. It was one of those times where the 1806 01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:31,960 Speaker 1: Bills in the last five weeks or four and oh 1807 01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:34,720 Speaker 1: and one score games, they were two and three through 1808 01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:37,400 Speaker 1: the first I don't know, ten games in one score games. 1809 01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:41,960 Speaker 1: They've got strength of schedule edge on a lot of 1810 01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:44,400 Speaker 1: people's strength of victory edge on a lot of these teams. 1811 01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:46,720 Speaker 1: They've really been through the gauntlet with their schedule, all 1812 01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:48,840 Speaker 1: the teams that you know what, it looked like an 1813 01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:52,040 Speaker 1: average every day schedule. All of a sudden, the Bills 1814 01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:55,040 Speaker 1: are playing this train wreck of a schedule where everybody 1815 01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:58,040 Speaker 1: they play has got a winning record, but they still keep, 1816 01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:02,120 Speaker 1: you know, plugging along in games. What's to say about 1817 01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:04,559 Speaker 1: how they're gonna be set up for the playoffs, whether 1818 01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:06,479 Speaker 1: it's here for a game or two and then on 1819 01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:08,720 Speaker 1: the road for the AFC Championship, or if everything has 1820 01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:12,240 Speaker 1: to come through Buffalo. Yeah, it was interesting because as 1821 01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,360 Speaker 1: we looked at this schedule before the season, you're looking 1822 01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:18,519 Speaker 1: at the AFC's thinking Patriots likely down again, Jets likely 1823 01:41:18,640 --> 01:41:21,120 Speaker 1: down again Miami who who knows what they can do 1824 01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,320 Speaker 1: with a first year head coach. Then all of a sudden, 1825 01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:25,880 Speaker 1: you're two thirds the way through the season. Everyone in 1826 01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:28,160 Speaker 1: division's got a winning record, and the Bills are sitting 1827 01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:30,320 Speaker 1: there at oh and two in the division after the 1828 01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:34,040 Speaker 1: first two divisional games, and so the AFCAS became more formidable. 1829 01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:37,160 Speaker 1: You have teams like the Vikings that were one loss 1830 01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:40,000 Speaker 1: when the Bills played them, the Lions roaring back into 1831 01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:41,840 Speaker 1: this season. You thought Green Bay was going to be 1832 01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:44,240 Speaker 1: your tough matchup, and then they put that game on 1833 01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:46,439 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football and it wasn't quite the matchup everyone 1834 01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:49,880 Speaker 1: else thought. It's amazing how the perception of the schedule 1835 01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:52,080 Speaker 1: is before the season and what that can turn into. 1836 01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:55,160 Speaker 1: But the Bills have had a very strong schedule. Part 1837 01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:57,320 Speaker 1: of that's what happens. When you win the division, you 1838 01:41:57,479 --> 01:42:00,280 Speaker 1: get the other three divisional winners. And so we still 1839 01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:03,240 Speaker 1: have a Cincinnati on the schedule. We had a Kansas 1840 01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:05,200 Speaker 1: City as well. We had a Tennessee earlier in the 1841 01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:07,280 Speaker 1: year on Monday and Night football. But when you look 1842 01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:10,040 Speaker 1: at the body of work that the Bills have and yes, 1843 01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:13,120 Speaker 1: you could play that, what if game with even you know, 1844 01:42:13,240 --> 01:42:15,599 Speaker 1: two of their three losses, you know, it's man, it's 1845 01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:18,760 Speaker 1: all of the losses really, you know, man, you go 1846 01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,240 Speaker 1: back to one or two plays here or there, and 1847 01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:25,559 Speaker 1: the Bills have played so consistent. They clinched the division 1848 01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:30,519 Speaker 1: fourth straight year, four straight seasons over ten wins, which 1849 01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:33,920 Speaker 1: matches a franchise record from your day's Steve, which is 1850 01:42:34,360 --> 01:42:37,599 Speaker 1: an extremely impressive run that the Bills are on right now. 1851 01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,160 Speaker 1: And then you look ahead at this remaining schedule and 1852 01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:43,640 Speaker 1: you go to Chicago, who is playing better ball than 1853 01:42:43,720 --> 01:42:46,720 Speaker 1: they had earlier in the season. You expect that with 1854 01:42:46,920 --> 01:42:49,479 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, they develop, and they've kind of said, look, 1855 01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:51,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna let him play to his strength and run 1856 01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:53,600 Speaker 1: the football. And then you have Cincinnati, which is a 1857 01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:58,280 Speaker 1: monster matchup in Cincinnati likely decides for the Bills if 1858 01:42:58,320 --> 01:43:00,479 Speaker 1: they get the number one seed. Of looking at the 1859 01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:03,439 Speaker 1: other team's remaining schedule as well, you don't think Kansas 1860 01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:06,360 Speaker 1: City's gonna drop another one. And then I'm not sure 1861 01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:09,040 Speaker 1: exactly what that New England game, what will be on 1862 01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:11,240 Speaker 1: the line for that one. But yeah, it's been a 1863 01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:13,799 Speaker 1: it's been a heck of a grind of a season, 1864 01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:17,479 Speaker 1: and for the Bills to go five and zero. It's, 1865 01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, the schedules a grind, and then it turns 1866 01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:21,840 Speaker 1: into even more of a grind when you consider josh 1867 01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:24,280 Speaker 1: injrews his elbow placed through up it injures his elbow, 1868 01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:27,799 Speaker 1: and then you have the snow debacle and everything that entails. 1869 01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:31,240 Speaker 1: Three games in nineteen days where the Bills are sitting 1870 01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:36,120 Speaker 1: is great. Yeah, no question. And then with respect to 1871 01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:40,639 Speaker 1: Saturday Night's game against the Dolphins, the Bill's red zone 1872 01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:43,920 Speaker 1: had been on an uptick and it continued. They go 1873 01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:46,599 Speaker 1: four for four, probably could have gone five for five 1874 01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:48,160 Speaker 1: if they didn't kick the field goal at the end 1875 01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:52,240 Speaker 1: of the game, and now eleven of thirteen in their 1876 01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:55,720 Speaker 1: last four games in the red zone. Josh was quick 1877 01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,519 Speaker 1: to credit coach Dorsey for drawing up some new stuff 1878 01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:02,880 Speaker 1: down there. You get different people involved. Quintin Morris first 1879 01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:06,519 Speaker 1: ever touchdown of his career, niheem Hines first touchdown with 1880 01:44:06,600 --> 01:44:10,320 Speaker 1: the Bills, James Cook first receiving touchdown in a Bill's uniform. 1881 01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:13,479 Speaker 1: How much more difficult does that make the Bills to 1882 01:44:13,720 --> 01:44:17,240 Speaker 1: defend in the red zone when other guys are playing 1883 01:44:17,479 --> 01:44:21,400 Speaker 1: roles down there? Yeah, just when it's not just the 1884 01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:24,400 Speaker 1: dig show down there. Then yes, it becomes a lot 1885 01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:28,040 Speaker 1: more difficult and it's a lot less predictable. The Bills 1886 01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:30,479 Speaker 1: are running the football down there more. As Josh gets 1887 01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:33,040 Speaker 1: healthier and these games have become more significant, you'll get 1888 01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:36,240 Speaker 1: more dialed up Josh Allen runs down there. But yes, 1889 01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:39,559 Speaker 1: the red zone success has been great, and red zone 1890 01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:42,160 Speaker 1: success with a good football team. The way they were 1891 01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:46,080 Speaker 1: kind of struggling, I'll say weeks three and on maybe 1892 01:44:46,120 --> 01:44:49,120 Speaker 1: weeks three, two through nine, the way they were struggling 1893 01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:51,360 Speaker 1: in the red zone there, you assume those issues are 1894 01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:54,880 Speaker 1: going away because this Bill's team is so talented and 1895 01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:57,960 Speaker 1: they had their turnover woes. Well they've only had three 1896 01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:01,200 Speaker 1: turnovers in the last five game and so they've cut 1897 01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:03,920 Speaker 1: back on both of those. And when the Bills were 1898 01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:08,200 Speaker 1: sitting there before this five game winning streak and many 1899 01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:10,519 Speaker 1: oddsmakers still had them as a Super Bowl favorite, the 1900 01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,360 Speaker 1: reason they did that was because the two things holding 1901 01:45:13,439 --> 01:45:15,519 Speaker 1: them back, we're scoring touchdowns in the red zone and 1902 01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:18,440 Speaker 1: turning the ball over, and both of those are correctable. 1903 01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:21,800 Speaker 1: That's not a lack of experience, it's not a talent deficiency. 1904 01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:25,960 Speaker 1: It's something that is correctable. In most cases, do you 1905 01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:28,640 Speaker 1: think at this point we've we've talked about how some 1906 01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,719 Speaker 1: of the fans are like, we're depending too much on Josh. 1907 01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:33,519 Speaker 1: It's just too much on him, We're asking too much 1908 01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:37,240 Speaker 1: of him. And my take was that, listen, that's that's 1909 01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:38,640 Speaker 1: the way it is when you got that guy that 1910 01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:43,519 Speaker 1: the chief depend on Mahomes, the Chargers depend on Herbert, 1911 01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:47,640 Speaker 1: the Bengals depend on Burrow. It's just the way it 1912 01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:50,320 Speaker 1: is when you've got a franchise guy. And I think 1913 01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:52,160 Speaker 1: one of the things if here was a criticism of it, 1914 01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:56,280 Speaker 1: maybe it's this Eric and see if you agree, too 1915 01:45:56,360 --> 01:45:58,559 Speaker 1: many of the plays he has to save it too 1916 01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:01,519 Speaker 1: many times going off script. You'd like to see the 1917 01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:04,120 Speaker 1: plays be executed there. Now. They were in the red 1918 01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:06,400 Speaker 1: zone this last week, saved the one right before halftime. 1919 01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:10,040 Speaker 1: They executed at a higher level this week from the pocket. 1920 01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:13,519 Speaker 1: Even his fifty six or fifty one yard run was 1921 01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:17,000 Speaker 1: a called run, all that stuff, So a little bit 1922 01:46:17,080 --> 01:46:19,120 Speaker 1: of that happened. But man, I think if there's a 1923 01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:21,240 Speaker 1: criticism of this offense is at once in a while 1924 01:46:21,320 --> 01:46:24,240 Speaker 1: they have to go off script too much to make 1925 01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:27,400 Speaker 1: it work. Yeah, And I can see that. I think 1926 01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:29,519 Speaker 1: part of the off script has been some of the 1927 01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:31,720 Speaker 1: old line injuries. So you know, you look at when 1928 01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:34,000 Speaker 1: Mitch Morris comes out of this game, all of a sudden, 1929 01:46:34,040 --> 01:46:37,720 Speaker 1: the pass protection went from absolutely great where Josh is 1930 01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:39,720 Speaker 1: making the throws from the pockets and now he's in 1931 01:46:39,800 --> 01:46:44,519 Speaker 1: scramble mode and it's twofold. There's times where maybe the 1932 01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:48,639 Speaker 1: Bills passing game, maybe there's not as many dialed up 1933 01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:51,720 Speaker 1: easy throws, maybe there's not as many quick wins from 1934 01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:54,080 Speaker 1: a Cole Beasley who's now back in the slot where 1935 01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:56,680 Speaker 1: Josh gets the ball out of his hands immediately. But 1936 01:46:57,200 --> 01:47:00,560 Speaker 1: as the offensive line protects, Josh stays the pockets and 1937 01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:02,920 Speaker 1: he's pocket. He's cable wire making the throws. He's also 1938 01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:05,759 Speaker 1: a great off script, which had to happen. The Dolphins 1939 01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:08,160 Speaker 1: have a good pass rush, they truly do. They have 1940 01:47:08,280 --> 01:47:12,440 Speaker 1: three really good edge rushers, and as the Bill's interior 1941 01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:15,840 Speaker 1: started getting shuffled, Josh was on the move again and 1942 01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:19,560 Speaker 1: there he goes. Now you're exactly writing your point. I 1943 01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:22,920 Speaker 1: had this conversation multiple times lately, Steve. Yes, we rely 1944 01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:25,120 Speaker 1: on Josh a whole lot, and so you know who 1945 01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:29,639 Speaker 1: else does The Eagles, the Chiefs, the Bagels. The best 1946 01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:32,800 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL rely on their star quarterback, and 1947 01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:37,519 Speaker 1: Josh finishes runs differently than those guys, which is part 1948 01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:41,320 Speaker 1: of the reason that Josh It's made more of a 1949 01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:44,400 Speaker 1: big deal because people fear that Josh will get hurt, 1950 01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:47,400 Speaker 1: maybe his queer will be shortened because of the physicality 1951 01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:49,280 Speaker 1: he has at the end of the runs. Those guys 1952 01:47:49,320 --> 01:47:51,840 Speaker 1: aren't as big as Josh. But as Josh continues to 1953 01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:53,800 Speaker 1: get older, we've seen him over the last couple of 1954 01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:57,200 Speaker 1: years take less shots, and I just think over time 1955 01:47:57,320 --> 01:48:03,080 Speaker 1: that continues to go down throughout a career. Speaking of running, 1956 01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:06,640 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears eric are very quietly the number one 1957 01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:09,000 Speaker 1: rushing team in football, due in part to the rushing 1958 01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:13,280 Speaker 1: exploits of their quarterback. We saw the Bills run defense 1959 01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:17,200 Speaker 1: struggle at times in the tackling department. This is not 1960 01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:20,479 Speaker 1: the first time we've been down this road with this defense. 1961 01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:25,920 Speaker 1: With as much as this coaching staff pounds the fundamentals 1962 01:48:26,439 --> 01:48:31,080 Speaker 1: with their players, I'm not saying I'm confident they can 1963 01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:33,240 Speaker 1: get it corrected in one week. But when you see 1964 01:48:33,400 --> 01:48:36,800 Speaker 1: something like we saw against the Dolphins's past week against 1965 01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:40,080 Speaker 1: the run, in particular, where does the level of concern 1966 01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:44,160 Speaker 1: rise for you in that area. There is concern there 1967 01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:47,120 Speaker 1: and miss tackles. I don't know that they come from 1968 01:48:47,720 --> 01:48:51,040 Speaker 1: a physical standpoint as much with this defense as being 1969 01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:53,719 Speaker 1: out of position. And I understand that's a physical aspect 1970 01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:56,560 Speaker 1: of football, is being in position. I'm saying the physicality 1971 01:48:56,640 --> 01:49:00,000 Speaker 1: of them being able to tackle most was not the issue. 1972 01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:02,639 Speaker 1: It's being just out of position against the guy that's 1973 01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:05,479 Speaker 1: fast and can run through arm tackles. It's letting him 1974 01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:08,360 Speaker 1: get ahead of steam without making him stop his feed. 1975 01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:11,240 Speaker 1: It's not funneling the ball back to the correct places. 1976 01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:13,960 Speaker 1: It's not setting the edge at the correct time, whether 1977 01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:16,120 Speaker 1: that's the defensive end or the corner who needs to 1978 01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:18,600 Speaker 1: fill off the edge to shovel that play back to 1979 01:49:18,680 --> 01:49:21,720 Speaker 1: the inside. A lot of their mistackles come because these 1980 01:49:21,800 --> 01:49:24,040 Speaker 1: guys are coming downhill with a head of steam. And 1981 01:49:25,000 --> 01:49:27,760 Speaker 1: you got to give credit to Mike McDaniel for the 1982 01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:30,479 Speaker 1: offensive game plan that they brought in going under center. 1983 01:49:30,840 --> 01:49:35,120 Speaker 1: And we heard a pregame from CBS that Ken Dorsey 1984 01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:39,360 Speaker 1: had two different call sheets depending on what the weather 1985 01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:41,960 Speaker 1: was like. Well, it seemed like Mike McDaniel had one 1986 01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:44,719 Speaker 1: call sheet coming into the game and when it wasn't snowing. 1987 01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:46,720 Speaker 1: He's still stuck with his snow game plan of going 1988 01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:49,639 Speaker 1: under center a lot more fullback. I saw a stat 1989 01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:51,719 Speaker 1: today and I'm not sure if it's one hundred percent correct, 1990 01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:54,320 Speaker 1: but it's got to be pretty close with them putting 1991 01:49:54,360 --> 01:49:56,599 Speaker 1: it out there. But when the Bills played the Dolphins 1992 01:49:56,640 --> 01:50:00,559 Speaker 1: the first time, around eleven personnel, so three rod receiver, 1993 01:50:00,720 --> 01:50:04,680 Speaker 1: small personnel, three wide receivers or more on seventy five 1994 01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:07,160 Speaker 1: percent of the play. Well, this time, almost seventy percent 1995 01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:09,280 Speaker 1: of the plays was two tight ends or a fullback 1996 01:50:09,320 --> 01:50:11,080 Speaker 1: on the field. They had a game plan that they 1997 01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:13,240 Speaker 1: were going to attack this Bill's defense and Nickel and 1998 01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:16,080 Speaker 1: the Bills never came out of it. And so when 1999 01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:18,479 Speaker 1: they do that pre snap motion. Dan Orloski did a 2000 01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:21,040 Speaker 1: great film breakdown on NFL Live last week, and I 2001 01:50:21,120 --> 01:50:23,800 Speaker 1: had seen it before throughout the regular season with my 2002 01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:27,040 Speaker 1: own eyes, but credit Dan for doing an incredible job 2003 01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:30,200 Speaker 1: on this breakdown. As teams do that jet motion, we 2004 01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:33,000 Speaker 1: saw with Hill many times against Miami what it does 2005 01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:36,640 Speaker 1: against those linebackers to shift latterly, sometimes just outside the 2006 01:50:36,720 --> 01:50:39,000 Speaker 1: tackle box, which brings Arren Johnson in, which might bring 2007 01:50:39,040 --> 01:50:41,559 Speaker 1: a Jordan Poyer might bring in a Damar Hamlin into 2008 01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:44,160 Speaker 1: the box, and now not only do you have six 2009 01:50:44,280 --> 01:50:47,080 Speaker 1: guys in the box, one of them is a defensive back. 2010 01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:50,840 Speaker 1: And so that's where maybe shifting to a four three defense, 2011 01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:54,160 Speaker 1: maybe it's more matching personnel to get bigger bodies and 2012 01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:56,880 Speaker 1: just have guys in proper position. Because this is a 2013 01:50:56,960 --> 01:50:59,120 Speaker 1: copycat league. If you think you're gonna go to Chicago 2014 01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:01,719 Speaker 1: this week and you're not going to get Iso runs 2015 01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:05,080 Speaker 1: with a fullback attacking those secondary players that the Bills 2016 01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:08,120 Speaker 1: leave on the field, you're crazy because they're gonna bring 2017 01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:10,840 Speaker 1: the same exact game plan at the Bills. Now, the 2018 01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:12,960 Speaker 1: Bill and the Bill we said this also we had 2019 01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:16,040 Speaker 1: Mike rob On and I asked him, Yeah, the Bears 2020 01:51:16,160 --> 01:51:18,799 Speaker 1: run it better than anybody, they throw it worse than everybody. 2021 01:51:19,760 --> 01:51:21,760 Speaker 1: So do you come is this a game where aj 2022 01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:25,200 Speaker 1: Clein gets on the field? You go Klein, you go Milano, 2023 01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:29,320 Speaker 1: you go Edmonds, and you go you know, you throw 2024 01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:31,679 Speaker 1: eight guys in the box all the time, and dare 2025 01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:34,000 Speaker 1: them to do that through to beat you through the air, 2026 01:51:34,680 --> 01:51:39,519 Speaker 1: or if your defense isn't broke, don't fix it. Now. 2027 01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:41,760 Speaker 1: I think this is a week where you bring an 2028 01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:44,920 Speaker 1: extra linebacker out on the field because you want to 2029 01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:47,760 Speaker 1: get bigger against the team that's gonna want to run 2030 01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:52,679 Speaker 1: the football, and you likely keep a spy on plays. 2031 01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:55,040 Speaker 1: You're trying to not let Justin Fields beat you with 2032 01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:58,000 Speaker 1: his legs. In this league, you know, we always give 2033 01:51:58,080 --> 01:52:00,559 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick credit for take it away the other team 2034 01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:03,360 Speaker 1: does best. But each and every week, all teams are 2035 01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:06,040 Speaker 1: trying to do that. You're trying to make them, especially 2036 01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:09,240 Speaker 1: at this point of the season, prove the stats wrong, 2037 01:52:09,400 --> 01:52:12,960 Speaker 1: prove the analytics wrong, and then we'll adjust. But until 2038 01:52:13,439 --> 01:52:14,920 Speaker 1: you can show us that you could pass them on 2039 01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:18,519 Speaker 1: a consistent basis in single digit temperatures and in the 2040 01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:21,880 Speaker 1: Windy City, then we're not gonna We're not going to 2041 01:52:23,040 --> 01:52:25,680 Speaker 1: respect the past game until we have to. And I 2042 01:52:25,720 --> 01:52:29,840 Speaker 1: say respected, We're not going to shy away from putting 2043 01:52:29,880 --> 01:52:32,120 Speaker 1: extra bodies out there for the run defense. Did you 2044 01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:35,439 Speaker 1: guys see the graphic of Mike Rob. It was a 2045 01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:37,720 Speaker 1: picture posted of him and then Mike Rob put it 2046 01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:39,559 Speaker 1: back out there. That's the only reason I feel comfortable 2047 01:52:39,640 --> 01:52:43,200 Speaker 1: saying it said, Mike Rob looks like somebody's rich auntie 2048 01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:45,920 Speaker 1: with his outfit, and he had like a big hat, 2049 01:52:46,120 --> 01:52:49,599 Speaker 1: big leather hat on big leather jacket. There's not much 2050 01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:51,920 Speaker 1: that makes me laugh out loud of when it comes 2051 01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:55,160 Speaker 1: to graphics like that, but that one was good. Yeah, 2052 01:52:55,280 --> 01:53:01,400 Speaker 1: the Internet remains undefeated always. Yeah. The wind looks like 2053 01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:04,880 Speaker 1: it could be the biggest factor for this weekend's game. 2054 01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:09,040 Speaker 1: They're talking about sustained winds of twenty five to thirty 2055 01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:11,640 Speaker 1: five miles per hour, which is also going to put 2056 01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:15,839 Speaker 1: the wind chill around negative ten to negative fifteen degrees. 2057 01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:18,960 Speaker 1: That can impact a passing game. Erica, is you know 2058 01:53:19,080 --> 01:53:22,639 Speaker 1: more than anything else, especially when we're talking sustained wins 2059 01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:26,000 Speaker 1: at that velocity. So this could be a run fest 2060 01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:30,960 Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon. What are you? I know you're not 2061 01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:33,880 Speaker 1: a betting man, but if you were, how likely that 2062 01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:36,519 Speaker 1: both quarterbacks are over one hundred yards rushing? If that 2063 01:53:36,760 --> 01:53:40,000 Speaker 1: is in fact what we get from from a win perspective, 2064 01:53:41,920 --> 01:53:45,280 Speaker 1: both quarterbacks over one hundred yards rushing would probably be 2065 01:53:46,080 --> 01:53:50,639 Speaker 1: just under the payout on the Hines Morris Cook first 2066 01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:56,120 Speaker 1: half touchdown. I mean, I just don't think with both 2067 01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:58,519 Speaker 1: teams understanding that the other team's gonna want to run 2068 01:53:58,560 --> 01:54:01,639 Speaker 1: the football, and how dynamic quarterbacks are, I can't see 2069 01:54:01,720 --> 01:54:04,200 Speaker 1: both teams allowing the other team's quarterbacks. I think there 2070 01:54:04,200 --> 01:54:06,519 Speaker 1: will be a number of read elements used by the 2071 01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:09,080 Speaker 1: Bills again, especially if Mitch Morris is out. If Mitch 2072 01:54:09,120 --> 01:54:11,880 Speaker 1: Morris is out, yes, Josh will be more comfortable working 2073 01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:13,680 Speaker 1: with Greg Van Rodan under center. But they are so 2074 01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:16,040 Speaker 1: uncomfortable that they did the QB kneel down at the 2075 01:54:16,120 --> 01:54:19,280 Speaker 1: end of the game from the shotgun. I mean, there's 2076 01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:21,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a read element to a lot of the 2077 01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:26,040 Speaker 1: Bills run games. So yes, both both quarterbacks certainly could 2078 01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:31,400 Speaker 1: Um you know, I think you'll see short passing game utilized. 2079 01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:35,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it could be a dicey one. I'm 2080 01:54:35,040 --> 01:54:37,680 Speaker 1: glad I invested in a heat advest this year. There's 2081 01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean this, uh this game. These games have gotten 2082 01:54:41,520 --> 01:54:44,800 Speaker 1: chillier and chillier pretty quick on us here. Yeah, well, yeah, 2083 01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:47,880 Speaker 1: it's not gonna it's not chilly in Chicago. It is cold, man, 2084 01:54:48,040 --> 01:54:50,480 Speaker 1: it is really cold, and and we had Maddie on 2085 01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:53,880 Speaker 1: talking about it, but that you're right. The ball handling 2086 01:54:53,920 --> 01:54:56,400 Speaker 1: becomes an issue in these late season games, and the 2087 01:54:56,480 --> 01:54:59,400 Speaker 1: Bills have kind of washed away their turnover problems that 2088 01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:01,520 Speaker 1: they had the swoon in them you know that the 2089 01:55:01,640 --> 01:55:03,760 Speaker 1: Jet game and some of the red zone problems they 2090 01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:07,760 Speaker 1: had in the Minnesota game. That kind of thing going forward. 2091 01:55:08,320 --> 01:55:10,080 Speaker 1: If there was a tweak you could make to the 2092 01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:12,400 Speaker 1: Bill's offense, what would it be? Is it more read 2093 01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:18,120 Speaker 1: stuff and taken into account the offensive line being shuffled. Yeah, 2094 01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:22,520 Speaker 1: I would say the adjustments likely would be. I really 2095 01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:25,880 Speaker 1: like their read game in the backfield. I feel like 2096 01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:28,200 Speaker 1: there's times where it looks like James Cook is stuffed 2097 01:55:28,280 --> 01:55:31,480 Speaker 1: or Singletary stuffed on the read package, the read package 2098 01:55:31,520 --> 01:55:34,560 Speaker 1: that goes up the middle on the inside zone where 2099 01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:36,600 Speaker 1: they pick up four to five yards just because they 2100 01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:39,280 Speaker 1: have to respect Josh. They get downhill a little bit, 2101 01:55:39,640 --> 01:55:42,160 Speaker 1: and it just seems to me we had talked about 2102 01:55:42,200 --> 01:55:44,080 Speaker 1: how effective they were at the pin and pools, but 2103 01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:46,720 Speaker 1: I feel like teams are sitting on that now with 2104 01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:49,640 Speaker 1: those outside runs where the guys are pulling. Okay, let's 2105 01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:51,200 Speaker 1: end them up the middle a little bit more. Now, 2106 01:55:51,320 --> 01:55:55,240 Speaker 1: get downhill on these guys and then just continue to 2107 01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:59,880 Speaker 1: work in a Cole Beasley, continue to mix up person 2108 01:56:00,160 --> 01:56:03,160 Speaker 1: l wise, find the hot hand week the week as 2109 01:56:03,240 --> 01:56:06,120 Speaker 1: far as okay, is it a Dawson Knox like last week? 2110 01:56:06,160 --> 01:56:08,600 Speaker 1: Where the matchups and maybe you're in favor or the 2111 01:56:08,720 --> 01:56:11,560 Speaker 1: coverages dictate who can get the ball because you have 2112 01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:14,240 Speaker 1: so many weapons, but you know, with them bring it. 2113 01:56:14,280 --> 01:56:16,440 Speaker 1: They brought back Cole Beasley after we did our one 2114 01:56:16,480 --> 01:56:20,520 Speaker 1: Bills Live talk last week, and if I mean for 2115 01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:22,880 Speaker 1: a majority of the season, I had said, you know, 2116 01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:25,560 Speaker 1: one of the things that's missing from this Bill's offense 2117 01:56:26,360 --> 01:56:29,680 Speaker 1: is a guy who can just quickly exploit zone defense. 2118 01:56:30,200 --> 01:56:31,920 Speaker 1: And you got that guy back in Cole Beasley. I'd 2119 01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:34,000 Speaker 1: love to see him kind of get Josh getting a 2120 01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:38,320 Speaker 1: rhythm with him in game prior to this postseason. Cole 2121 01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:41,320 Speaker 1: Beasley with eleven snaps in his return to the Bills 2122 01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:43,800 Speaker 1: last week. We'll see if that number goes up this 2123 01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:46,680 Speaker 1: week against the Bears. Eric, thanks for the time, We 2124 01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:49,840 Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'll catch up with you later in the week. Yeah, 2125 01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:51,880 Speaker 1: my pleasure to see you guys every great week. All right. 2126 01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:55,280 Speaker 1: That's Bills radio color analyst Eric Wood, also former Bills center, 2127 01:56:55,760 --> 01:56:59,000 Speaker 1: And it is going to be interesting to see, like 2128 01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:02,600 Speaker 1: how much does Beasley's snap count go up? He had 2129 01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:07,000 Speaker 1: just eleven snaps. Khalil Shakir had twice as many twenty 2130 01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:11,640 Speaker 1: two snaps in last week's game. It's interesting. Things are chained, 2131 01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:13,320 Speaker 1: they're evolving. They got to kind of stay ahead of it. 2132 01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:16,640 Speaker 1: I think Beasley will probably it'll be a little bit 2133 01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:19,880 Speaker 1: like what we saw with Tredavius. He'll work in slow. 2134 01:57:19,920 --> 01:57:22,960 Speaker 1: They don't want to give him fifty snaps on the game, 2135 01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:25,000 Speaker 1: not that he would get fifty snaps anyway, even in 2136 01:57:25,080 --> 01:57:30,000 Speaker 1: his largest role, but eleven snaps is probably. That's a 2137 01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:32,520 Speaker 1: little more than I would have expected off such a 2138 01:57:32,600 --> 01:57:35,920 Speaker 1: short term of such a yeah off Saturday game, got 2139 01:57:35,960 --> 01:57:38,480 Speaker 1: in here Tuesday exactly. Yeah, that's a little more than 2140 01:57:38,480 --> 01:57:42,240 Speaker 1: I would have anticipated. One target, one catch for nine yards, 2141 01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:45,080 Speaker 1: but I would say two. As it gets further and 2142 01:57:45,120 --> 01:57:48,920 Speaker 1: further into this, they may turn to him a little 2143 01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:53,000 Speaker 1: bit more as the season progresses. But still I wonder 2144 01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:56,760 Speaker 1: if they Khalil Shakier getting in for Monday Night. Maybe, 2145 01:57:57,160 --> 01:57:59,960 Speaker 1: But Khalil Shakir getting twenty two snaps, I was surprised, 2146 01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:01,400 Speaker 1: but I saw him going a handful of times, so 2147 01:58:01,440 --> 01:58:03,520 Speaker 1: I didn't notice him, and he certainly did. He got 2148 01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:06,160 Speaker 1: zero target targets. He got zero targets. He used them 2149 01:58:06,160 --> 01:58:08,040 Speaker 1: almost more as a blocker in the run game. On 2150 01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:10,440 Speaker 1: the edge, right, and so good for it and good 2151 01:58:10,480 --> 01:58:13,560 Speaker 1: for him for having that role because that's what Kumero did. Yeah. 2152 01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:19,480 Speaker 1: Interesting because even in a season where they're eleven and 2153 01:58:19,560 --> 01:58:22,320 Speaker 1: three have already clinched a playoff spot, they're continuing to 2154 01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:25,520 Speaker 1: evolve and change and rotate in some due to injury, 2155 01:58:25,560 --> 01:58:28,160 Speaker 1: but some of it just seems to be due to 2156 01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:31,000 Speaker 1: availability and roles they want these guys to play. If 2157 01:58:31,040 --> 01:58:33,880 Speaker 1: there was ever a week to have some tendency breakers 2158 01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:36,320 Speaker 1: in your offensive play calling, it was last week against 2159 01:58:36,360 --> 01:58:39,680 Speaker 1: the team that already played you once, right, and I 2160 01:58:39,720 --> 01:58:41,920 Speaker 1: would say for the most part, it worked and to 2161 01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:45,480 Speaker 1: the players credit, they executed those plays that coach Dorsey 2162 01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:48,520 Speaker 1: drew up for this specific game last week. Does the 2163 01:58:48,600 --> 01:58:53,000 Speaker 1: evolution do the tendency breakers continue this week? And say 2164 01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:56,080 Speaker 1: this though, it did work because if you know, if 2165 01:58:56,600 --> 01:58:59,880 Speaker 1: Singletary doesn't go down, you know they score thirty six 2166 01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:02,839 Speaker 1: points on those guys, right, They scored thirty two anyway, 2167 01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:06,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, that their offense was clicking pretty good this 2168 01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:10,160 Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, break time for us here when Steve 2169 01:59:10,240 --> 01:59:12,160 Speaker 1: and I come back some of your thoughts from the 2170 01:59:12,200 --> 01:59:15,120 Speaker 1: tweet sheet. As we were asking you for your takeaways 2171 01:59:15,280 --> 01:59:18,640 Speaker 1: from Saturday night's victory over the Dolphins to improve to 2172 01:59:18,720 --> 01:59:21,440 Speaker 1: eleven and three and clinch a playoff berth. We're back 2173 01:59:21,480 --> 01:59:23,200 Speaker 1: with more here in a Moment on One Bill's Live, 2174 01:59:23,320 --> 01:59:33,440 Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Elfit's Buffalo Bills Radio, Bills Mafias.

Looks kind of cool. 2179 01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:54,400 Speaker 1: We'll check it out, sure thing. Man. Let's get to 2180 01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:56,360 Speaker 1: the tweet sheet to get some of your thoughts on 2181 01:59:56,520 --> 02:00:00,440 Speaker 1: where you think the Bills stand after week fifteen. Obviously 2182 02:00:00,520 --> 02:00:02,880 Speaker 1: know where they stand in terms of record eleven and 2183 02:00:03,040 --> 02:00:08,160 Speaker 1: three and atop the AFC conference tweet sheet brought to 2184 02:00:08,200 --> 02:00:11,160 Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company 2185 02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:14,560 Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Mad Law starts out by saying 2186 02:00:14,640 --> 02:00:17,080 Speaker 1: the defense won't be as bad as it was against 2187 02:00:17,160 --> 02:00:19,800 Speaker 1: the Fish, and the offense seems to have gotten some 2188 02:00:19,960 --> 02:00:22,560 Speaker 1: of its swagger back. All in all, we're way of 2189 02:00:22,640 --> 02:00:26,040 Speaker 1: head of where we were last year at this time. Yeah, 2190 02:00:26,080 --> 02:00:28,200 Speaker 1: you're right. They were eight and six. Last year at 2191 02:00:28,200 --> 02:00:33,120 Speaker 1: this time they were eleven and three. Now, yeah, that's 2192 02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:34,840 Speaker 1: a good thing. Right, is a good thing. I will 2193 02:00:34,840 --> 02:00:36,520 Speaker 1: go on a limb and say it's a good thing. 2194 02:00:36,680 --> 02:00:38,760 Speaker 1: Eight and six, though, stool, you're be in the playoffs 2195 02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:40,760 Speaker 1: this year, right, which is kind of where they were 2196 02:00:40,880 --> 02:00:46,480 Speaker 1: last year. JT says, from injuries, the move game to 2197 02:00:46,640 --> 02:00:49,600 Speaker 1: Detroit to the short weeks we had, this team is tough. 2198 02:00:49,960 --> 02:00:52,840 Speaker 1: All Caps. You can throw it at us, you can 2199 02:00:52,880 --> 02:00:54,560 Speaker 1: throw it all at us. Just no, we will throw 2200 02:00:54,600 --> 02:00:57,800 Speaker 1: it all back. And then some chef's kiss to see 2201 02:00:57,960 --> 02:01:01,480 Speaker 1: Nerdy McDaniel crying about snowball balls then finishing them with 2202 02:01:01,600 --> 02:01:05,920 Speaker 1: snowballs to the buses picked us. Yeah, they from what 2203 02:01:06,040 --> 02:01:09,240 Speaker 1: I had heard, Bills fans camped out in the parking 2204 02:01:09,320 --> 02:01:14,000 Speaker 1: lots and crafted as many snowballs as possible. So when 2205 02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:17,320 Speaker 1: the buses pulled out down one Bill's drive to go 2206 02:01:17,440 --> 02:01:20,160 Speaker 1: back to the airport to fly home to Miami, they 2207 02:01:20,240 --> 02:01:27,280 Speaker 1: were pelted repeatedly with snowballs, now an unending flurry. Snowballs 2208 02:01:27,280 --> 02:01:30,680 Speaker 1: aren't hurting anybody, They're they're in the bus, hurting the bus. Yeah, 2209 02:01:32,080 --> 02:01:34,320 Speaker 1: that's all in good fun. Sidelines is a different story. 2210 02:01:34,600 --> 02:01:37,680 Speaker 1: Well that's valid. Did you see it? Marked difference once 2211 02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:40,080 Speaker 1: the officials said, hey, it's a fifteen yard penalty. Not 2212 02:01:40,280 --> 02:01:44,320 Speaker 1: really really I thought. I think it was because because 2213 02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:47,080 Speaker 1: there was a smattering of Dolphins fans in the stands, 2214 02:01:47,640 --> 02:01:49,440 Speaker 1: they were the ones that were throwing it. They're like, oh, 2215 02:01:49,680 --> 02:01:52,200 Speaker 1: the Bills could get a fifteen yard penalty. Fire away, 2216 02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:56,640 Speaker 1: and then it becomes an exercise in discerning oh, well 2217 02:01:56,840 --> 02:01:58,800 Speaker 1: was that a Dolphins fan throwing it? Like it was 2218 02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:01,720 Speaker 1: a no win situation. Depending on where what section the 2219 02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:03,920 Speaker 1: Dolphins fans who were throwing snowballs were sitting in, they 2220 02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:08,120 Speaker 1: might get tuned up, well, you would hope, or at 2221 02:02:08,200 --> 02:02:13,440 Speaker 1: least reported, reported and removed. No, we're not advocating anybody 2222 02:02:13,760 --> 02:02:16,720 Speaker 1: whacked the Dolphins fan for throwing snow would say I 2223 02:02:17,080 --> 02:02:19,640 Speaker 1: report them and remove them, right, which you can do. 2224 02:02:19,720 --> 02:02:21,360 Speaker 1: All you have to do is do that. But text 2225 02:02:21,680 --> 02:02:23,240 Speaker 1: you could you could see on a day when you 2226 02:02:23,280 --> 02:02:26,440 Speaker 1: know some section got a group of Bills fans, there 2227 02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:28,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that are there and they're inebriated, 2228 02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:30,560 Speaker 1: and they catch a Dolphins fan trying to get a 2229 02:02:30,600 --> 02:02:33,440 Speaker 1: Bills a fifteen yard penalty. I can't believe there wasn't 2230 02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:42,560 Speaker 1: an altercation like that, right, it seems stereotypical, almost almost No. 2231 02:02:42,760 --> 02:02:44,520 Speaker 1: I was what I was saying is report them so 2232 02:02:44,600 --> 02:02:46,520 Speaker 1: they can get them out of there, like get them 2233 02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:52,000 Speaker 1: removed right by security. Jay Lysh on the tweet, Chet says, 2234 02:02:52,320 --> 02:02:54,920 Speaker 1: I think we are fine. We need to get back 2235 02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:58,560 Speaker 1: some healthy olignment in the form of Baits and possibly Butcker. 2236 02:02:58,920 --> 02:03:03,000 Speaker 1: We have shown resilience and Misq's cost us an undefeated season. 2237 02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:05,960 Speaker 1: But the ultimate goal is still ahead. Having the number 2238 02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:10,120 Speaker 1: one seed would be great. And amen to that. Amen 2239 02:03:10,280 --> 02:03:15,040 Speaker 1: to that. And that is the one thing that players, coaches, 2240 02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:18,760 Speaker 1: and even general manager Brandon Being referenced each of the 2241 02:03:18,840 --> 02:03:22,200 Speaker 1: last two seasons when their seasons were ended, we need 2242 02:03:22,320 --> 02:03:25,680 Speaker 1: to get home playoff games. They got that. Then it 2243 02:03:25,880 --> 02:03:27,960 Speaker 1: was we need to get home field advantage in the 2244 02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:32,280 Speaker 1: playoffs because too many times the dang playoffs have had 2245 02:03:32,360 --> 02:03:34,840 Speaker 1: to go through Arrowhead and I'm sick of it, and 2246 02:03:34,920 --> 02:03:37,760 Speaker 1: I can't imagine how the players and coaches field tired 2247 02:03:37,800 --> 02:03:40,480 Speaker 1: of going out there. Well, think about this, It's just 2248 02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:42,720 Speaker 1: a quirk of the schedule. Nobody planned it this way 2249 02:03:42,800 --> 02:03:44,640 Speaker 1: or whatever time. I mean, for the playoffs, I know, 2250 02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:47,000 Speaker 1: except for the Chiefs are a good football team and 2251 02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:48,640 Speaker 1: the Bills are a good football team right now, which 2252 02:03:49,240 --> 02:03:51,440 Speaker 1: they run into each other quite a bit. The Bills 2253 02:03:51,480 --> 02:03:54,160 Speaker 1: play the Chiefs in the regular season seemingly every year, 2254 02:03:54,240 --> 02:03:57,200 Speaker 1: and it's been in Kansas City. The playoffs have also 2255 02:03:57,280 --> 02:03:59,760 Speaker 1: been in Kansas City. If it happens again that this 2256 02:04:00,080 --> 02:04:01,800 Speaker 1: year they play him in the regular season, then again 2257 02:04:01,920 --> 02:04:04,840 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Get this next year in the regular 2258 02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:08,520 Speaker 1: season they go to Kansas City again. Because it's the 2259 02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:11,960 Speaker 1: Chiefs haven't been in Orchard Park for like thirty five years, 2260 02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:13,880 Speaker 1: it feels that way. But believe it or not, they 2261 02:04:13,920 --> 02:04:17,120 Speaker 1: were here when nobody was in the stadium twenty twe 2262 02:04:17,120 --> 02:04:20,280 Speaker 1: on Monday at five PM. I forgot about Monday at 2263 02:04:20,320 --> 02:04:23,520 Speaker 1: five Come on, man, nobody was here though, so nobody 2264 02:04:23,520 --> 02:04:25,280 Speaker 1: believes it happened. I was here, and I don't remember. 2265 02:04:26,840 --> 02:04:29,000 Speaker 1: I was doing the radio with Murber. I didn't remember it. Yeah. 2266 02:04:29,160 --> 02:04:32,040 Speaker 1: So that's the thing. That's the way it's gonna be. 2267 02:04:32,600 --> 02:04:33,960 Speaker 1: If you don't want it to be a certain way, 2268 02:04:33,960 --> 02:04:35,720 Speaker 1: you got to play good enough to make it not happen. 2269 02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:40,080 Speaker 1: And so far, so good this season. But you know, 2270 02:04:40,320 --> 02:04:44,280 Speaker 1: three games ago let's see from puzz the Bills rely 2271 02:04:44,520 --> 02:04:47,800 Speaker 1: too heavily on Allan. Still, I worry that many of 2272 02:04:47,840 --> 02:04:50,360 Speaker 1: the problems with the team are overlooked or downplayed after 2273 02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:53,400 Speaker 1: a w I'm sure it's not, but it just feels 2274 02:04:53,440 --> 02:04:56,320 Speaker 1: like that at times. We live by Josh Allen, We 2275 02:04:56,520 --> 02:04:59,840 Speaker 1: die by Josh Allen. Thankfully Allen is a monster this time. 2276 02:05:00,160 --> 02:05:04,200 Speaker 1: Ye yeah, that's we've been talking about the whole show. 2277 02:05:04,800 --> 02:05:08,240 Speaker 1: You got this guy, you build your team around him. 2278 02:05:08,600 --> 02:05:11,760 Speaker 1: That's what you get. That's what the Chiefs get, It's 2279 02:05:11,800 --> 02:05:14,880 Speaker 1: what the Bills get. It's what the Baltimore Ravens get, 2280 02:05:16,080 --> 02:05:21,360 Speaker 1: the LA Chargers get, the Cincinnati Bengals get. To a 2281 02:05:21,480 --> 02:05:24,320 Speaker 1: certain extent about it. Well there, you know, and then 2282 02:05:24,720 --> 02:05:27,960 Speaker 1: you can go down the list of teams that are 2283 02:05:28,040 --> 02:05:33,760 Speaker 1: in that boat. It's just what you get. And certainly 2284 02:05:34,600 --> 02:05:36,960 Speaker 1: Josh makes a ton of plays because of his legs 2285 02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:42,920 Speaker 1: and his athletic ability and his arm strength. Welcome to 2286 02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:44,720 Speaker 1: the club. I mean, it's the club everybody wants to 2287 02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:46,600 Speaker 1: be a part of. Believe me. You know what I mean. 2288 02:05:47,400 --> 02:05:51,120 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to depend on that guy too much because 2289 02:05:51,920 --> 02:05:56,000 Speaker 1: they're the most protected guy on the field. And you 2290 02:05:56,160 --> 02:05:59,160 Speaker 1: got to have somebody that's really good there to win games. 2291 02:05:59,240 --> 02:06:02,680 Speaker 1: And the Bills have got, in our opinion, the best 2292 02:06:02,720 --> 02:06:07,400 Speaker 1: guy out there. So yeah, they do, I think if 2293 02:06:07,760 --> 02:06:10,160 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they depend too much on them, but 2294 02:06:10,320 --> 02:06:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying I wish they had more plays like this 2295 02:06:14,560 --> 02:06:16,920 Speaker 1: one to Nihim Hines. He just went off and he 2296 02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:19,960 Speaker 1: can drop back, release it to the guy who needs 2297 02:06:20,040 --> 02:06:21,960 Speaker 1: to get it, or even if it's a more delayed 2298 02:06:22,280 --> 02:06:25,720 Speaker 1: you know throw than that, not have to run out 2299 02:06:25,800 --> 02:06:29,800 Speaker 1: sideways with time running out in the half, with three 2300 02:06:29,880 --> 02:06:33,640 Speaker 1: Dolphins chasing him and letting it loose off script. You'd 2301 02:06:33,720 --> 02:06:36,880 Speaker 1: much more rather have your offense work as it's supposed 2302 02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:39,840 Speaker 1: to work. But in any event, I'll say it again, 2303 02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:45,880 Speaker 1: every single team that wins a football game, and some 2304 02:06:46,080 --> 02:06:49,840 Speaker 1: teams that lose football games have to have a play 2305 02:06:50,040 --> 02:06:55,400 Speaker 1: off script, and usually a handful of them in a 2306 02:06:55,520 --> 02:06:58,640 Speaker 1: game that are the difference. And the Bills have got 2307 02:06:58,720 --> 02:07:00,920 Speaker 1: maybe the best guy in the league doing that off script. 2308 02:07:01,320 --> 02:07:04,760 Speaker 1: Amen to that, Ed on the tweet sheet says, record wise, 2309 02:07:04,840 --> 02:07:07,200 Speaker 1: Bills are in good shape right now. Biggest challenge left 2310 02:07:07,200 --> 02:07:09,560 Speaker 1: to Cincinnati, Plus we need help with one more Kansas 2311 02:07:09,600 --> 02:07:12,640 Speaker 1: City loss to make sure of home field advantage throughout 2312 02:07:12,680 --> 02:07:16,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs. You don't need Kansas City to lose another 2313 02:07:16,600 --> 02:07:19,240 Speaker 1: one as long as you keep winning because you have 2314 02:07:19,400 --> 02:07:21,520 Speaker 1: the head to head tiebreaker on them by virtue of 2315 02:07:21,600 --> 02:07:24,720 Speaker 1: your Week five win over them, so you're covered there. 2316 02:07:25,240 --> 02:07:28,240 Speaker 1: Or week six was week six they beat him. John 2317 02:07:28,520 --> 02:07:31,800 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, forecast for bad weather in Chicago, 2318 02:07:32,200 --> 02:07:35,560 Speaker 1: wind and Morse maybe out. Makes me worried for this game. 2319 02:07:35,920 --> 02:07:38,040 Speaker 1: It will be closer than it should be. After that, 2320 02:07:38,280 --> 02:07:41,600 Speaker 1: DBS need to play well against the Bengals, lots of weapons. 2321 02:07:41,720 --> 02:07:44,480 Speaker 1: Pats might be out of it by week eighteen. That's 2322 02:07:44,480 --> 02:07:49,120 Speaker 1: a good thing, Steve. Let's talk about it. Dane Jackson, 2323 02:07:49,320 --> 02:07:53,880 Speaker 1: Kaye Elam platooning at the cornerback spot opposite Tredavious White. 2324 02:07:54,480 --> 02:07:57,040 Speaker 1: It was kind of like that every third series rotation 2325 02:07:57,120 --> 02:07:59,480 Speaker 1: that we've seen with Benford and Elam earlier in the season. 2326 02:08:01,400 --> 02:08:03,920 Speaker 1: I liked what I saw from Elam. I don't know 2327 02:08:03,960 --> 02:08:06,480 Speaker 1: about you, but I would give him more playing time 2328 02:08:06,560 --> 02:08:08,480 Speaker 1: this week. Where do you come down on that? Yeah, 2329 02:08:08,640 --> 02:08:10,400 Speaker 1: if the only thing we're looking at is the game, 2330 02:08:10,480 --> 02:08:13,640 Speaker 1: sure we'll see how he I mean, the coaches will 2331 02:08:13,640 --> 02:08:15,880 Speaker 1: watching practice, they'll watch him in meetings, they'll talk to him, 2332 02:08:15,920 --> 02:08:18,520 Speaker 1: they'll get a look in his eye, and same thing 2333 02:08:18,600 --> 02:08:20,320 Speaker 1: with Dane Jackson, and they're gonna pick the better of 2334 02:08:20,360 --> 02:08:24,160 Speaker 1: the two that they're gonna play. They'll probably rotate to 2335 02:08:24,320 --> 02:08:28,480 Speaker 1: some extent going forward. I think it's not a bad thing, 2336 02:08:28,560 --> 02:08:30,480 Speaker 1: particularly against a team that doesn't throw it as well 2337 02:08:31,080 --> 02:08:35,600 Speaker 1: like Chicago, because you need both those guys to stay 2338 02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:39,320 Speaker 1: engaged down the stretch because if one of them gets 2339 02:08:39,360 --> 02:08:43,080 Speaker 1: a hangnail and can't play, you gotta have a guy 2340 02:08:43,160 --> 02:08:45,200 Speaker 1: that's ready to go in and sharp and it's not 2341 02:08:45,360 --> 02:08:49,000 Speaker 1: new to him. So I'm all about getting those guys, 2342 02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:54,840 Speaker 1: keeping them fresh for rotating, rotating in what I'm what 2343 02:08:55,000 --> 02:08:56,720 Speaker 1: I'm really what you're really worried about in the dB. 2344 02:08:56,800 --> 02:08:59,440 Speaker 1: If you're worried about injuries, just don't let anything happen 2345 02:08:59,520 --> 02:09:04,000 Speaker 1: to Aaron Johnson. Yeah, that guy is the reason the 2346 02:09:04,080 --> 02:09:06,680 Speaker 1: Bills can play nickel and stay in nickel, which is 2347 02:09:06,720 --> 02:09:08,080 Speaker 1: what they've done for the last two and a half 2348 02:09:08,160 --> 02:09:11,880 Speaker 1: three years because of him. Jessica on the Tweet Sheet 2349 02:09:11,920 --> 02:09:13,920 Speaker 1: says the defense played better in the second half, that 2350 02:09:14,040 --> 02:09:16,160 Speaker 1: was the difference. They held things together while the offense 2351 02:09:16,200 --> 02:09:18,880 Speaker 1: struggled in the third. Quarter. Then Doorsey put together the 2352 02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:20,400 Speaker 1: best drive of the season to win the game with 2353 02:09:20,440 --> 02:09:23,200 Speaker 1: a walk off field goal. Perfect clock management, and the 2354 02:09:23,360 --> 02:09:26,960 Speaker 1: snow helped. I think the only thing that helped with 2355 02:09:27,080 --> 02:09:29,320 Speaker 1: the snow is it helped with the atmosphere. I think 2356 02:09:29,360 --> 02:09:32,000 Speaker 1: the fans enjoyed the atmosphere better because of the snow. 2357 02:09:33,560 --> 02:09:37,200 Speaker 1: But she's right, the defense really locked it down in 2358 02:09:37,280 --> 02:09:42,680 Speaker 1: the second half halftime, Miami converted four of eight on 2359 02:09:42,880 --> 02:09:46,760 Speaker 1: third down fifty percent. That's a high percentage. Second half, 2360 02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:50,880 Speaker 1: one for six. They converted one more third down the 2361 02:09:51,000 --> 02:09:53,960 Speaker 1: rest of the game. The defense locked it down in 2362 02:09:54,000 --> 02:09:57,040 Speaker 1: the second half. Their tackling wasn't great, but they were 2363 02:09:57,080 --> 02:09:59,280 Speaker 1: getting off the field. One thing about that tackling, and 2364 02:09:59,320 --> 02:10:01,040 Speaker 1: everybody was saying, and the Bill, you know, the guy 2365 02:10:01,280 --> 02:10:03,800 Speaker 1: runs in eighteen yards and goes through four guys trying 2366 02:10:03,800 --> 02:10:08,360 Speaker 1: to tackle him in the first half. I'll say this, 2367 02:10:08,600 --> 02:10:11,560 Speaker 1: and we all stand here, particularly people of my vintage 2368 02:10:11,600 --> 02:10:13,640 Speaker 1: and your vintage. You've watched a lot of football over 2369 02:10:13,720 --> 02:10:21,080 Speaker 1: the decades. Tackling just isn't the same as it used 2370 02:10:21,120 --> 02:10:23,240 Speaker 1: to be anywhere in the National Football League. You just 2371 02:10:23,440 --> 02:10:25,400 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to hit guys like you used to 2372 02:10:25,520 --> 02:10:30,680 Speaker 1: hit them. And I tell you this, teams are coaching 2373 02:10:31,680 --> 02:10:36,520 Speaker 1: tackling vastly different than they did when we were kids 2374 02:10:36,560 --> 02:10:39,400 Speaker 1: and other kids, and even now at the youth football stage, 2375 02:10:39,440 --> 02:10:43,680 Speaker 1: they're not tapped coaching it. They're coaching tackling by wrestling 2376 02:10:43,760 --> 02:10:45,600 Speaker 1: the guy and trying to get the ball away from him, 2377 02:10:45,640 --> 02:10:47,480 Speaker 1: and then when your feet get tangled up, you go down. 2378 02:10:47,880 --> 02:10:50,600 Speaker 1: And it's not just the Buffalo Bills, it's every single 2379 02:10:50,760 --> 02:10:54,600 Speaker 1: team in the NFL tackles that same way. They go 2380 02:10:54,880 --> 02:10:57,720 Speaker 1: high and try and get the ball. They all coach it. 2381 02:10:58,040 --> 02:11:01,000 Speaker 1: They all do it because the rules preclude you from 2382 02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:02,680 Speaker 1: going in and whacking a guy at the top of 2383 02:11:02,800 --> 02:11:04,880 Speaker 1: him or the bottom of him to get him off 2384 02:11:04,960 --> 02:11:06,600 Speaker 1: his You know, they used to hit him high in 2385 02:11:06,640 --> 02:11:10,120 Speaker 1: the head, not so much to hurt him, but it's 2386 02:11:10,160 --> 02:11:12,120 Speaker 1: the only way you can knock these guys off balance. 2387 02:11:13,040 --> 02:11:16,440 Speaker 1: And because they're so good, so now they said, well, 2388 02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:18,200 Speaker 1: let's just get the ball instead. So as long as 2389 02:11:18,200 --> 02:11:20,040 Speaker 1: you're wrestling for the ball, another guy will come in, 2390 02:11:20,120 --> 02:11:22,320 Speaker 1: he'll wrestle for it, and sooner or later you'll get one. 2391 02:11:23,800 --> 02:11:26,680 Speaker 1: That's the way it's coached these days. Break time for us, 2392 02:11:26,760 --> 02:11:28,680 Speaker 1: we're back to close things up next here on one 2393 02:11:28,720 --> 02:11:57,200 Speaker 1: Bill's lit Niagaramentals is a proud partner of the Buffalo Bills. 2394 02:11:58,080 --> 02:12:02,600 Speaker 1: And they destroy the Miami car that was something else, 2395 02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:07,080 Speaker 1: sledgehammers and everything else. Oh where that Yeah, crush city. 2396 02:12:07,840 --> 02:12:10,440 Speaker 1: I mean heavy machinery here. I mean they are shredding 2397 02:12:10,480 --> 02:12:13,800 Speaker 1: that thing. That looks like such fun. Oh you'd like, 2398 02:12:13,880 --> 02:12:16,000 Speaker 1: oh wow, they saw it in half. He just chopped 2399 02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:18,920 Speaker 1: in half. That's insane. I need one of those for 2400 02:12:19,040 --> 02:12:21,920 Speaker 1: my backyard, one of those people. What would I use 2401 02:12:21,960 --> 02:12:24,440 Speaker 1: it for? Though? All right, nice job there, Billy Buffalo. 2402 02:12:24,560 --> 02:12:27,080 Speaker 1: Well done. Oh and he saved the palm tree. What 2403 02:12:27,200 --> 02:12:30,240 Speaker 1: a nice guy. Niagara Metals, Yeah, thanks for being a 2404 02:12:30,320 --> 02:12:35,240 Speaker 1: partner and chopping that car up. That is really impressive. Okay, 2405 02:12:35,320 --> 02:12:40,440 Speaker 1: time now Steve for Vision to Victory, presented by at Walleyecare, 2406 02:12:40,520 --> 02:12:42,760 Speaker 1: the official eye care provider of the Buffalo Bills. I 2407 02:12:42,840 --> 02:12:45,920 Speaker 1: would say it's got to be red zone execution in 2408 02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:48,120 Speaker 1: this one, right, I mean four for four. I think 2409 02:12:48,200 --> 02:12:51,160 Speaker 1: offensively it's got to be red zone execution, and I 2410 02:12:51,320 --> 02:12:57,440 Speaker 1: think defensively, it was not being afraid to let him 2411 02:12:57,520 --> 02:12:59,840 Speaker 1: run the football a little bit and shorten that game. 2412 02:13:00,760 --> 02:13:03,200 Speaker 1: The weather was not really the fact that we thought 2413 02:13:03,240 --> 02:13:06,680 Speaker 1: it was and the fact that it late in that game, 2414 02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:08,880 Speaker 1: and you wonder where it was the whole game, except that, 2415 02:13:09,040 --> 02:13:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, they scored thirty two points late in that game, 2416 02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:15,880 Speaker 1: the final drive where the Bill's defense got a three 2417 02:13:15,920 --> 02:13:18,280 Speaker 1: and out after the Bills scored a touchdown to get 2418 02:13:18,640 --> 02:13:22,240 Speaker 1: tie it. The Bill's defense goes out, gets a stop, 2419 02:13:22,760 --> 02:13:25,640 Speaker 1: and then they put together an eighty six yard drive 2420 02:13:26,800 --> 02:13:30,640 Speaker 1: five minutes and fifty six seconds, seven runs, seven passes, 2421 02:13:30,800 --> 02:13:35,040 Speaker 1: and a field goal fifteen plays. Game over. Really really 2422 02:13:35,120 --> 02:13:40,240 Speaker 1: impressive late in that game. Yeah, airtight execution, good play calling, 2423 02:13:40,960 --> 02:13:44,440 Speaker 1: great clock management. That is the vision to victory. Yeah. 2424 02:13:44,440 --> 02:13:47,120 Speaker 1: And it's interesting too because the defense is playing it's 2425 02:13:47,160 --> 02:13:49,000 Speaker 1: best football because they're not on the field and they 2426 02:13:49,040 --> 02:13:51,320 Speaker 1: got because they got off the field force punts.
