1
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health. It

2
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: is One Bill's Live indeed a day away from the

3
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: full schedule release, and some details trickling out already. As anticipated,

4
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: the international schedule is out. The Bills are obviously a

5
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: part of it, so there's that. We'll get to that

6
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: in just a second in case you've been living under

7
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: a rock and you don't know yet. And there are

8
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: some other games that have been announced, the Black Friday Game,

9
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: which fortunately doesn't include the Bills, and one of the

10
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Christmas Day games, the four to twenty five game has

11
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: been announced.

12
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: But let's get the particulars out of the way.

13
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: As far as it concerns the Bills, they will be

14
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: playing Week five, Sunday, October eighth against the Jaguars. This

15
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: is technically a Bills home game that they will host

16
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium nine thirty am kickoff Eastern Time,

17
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: So there is that now. The other side of this is,

18
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: for the first time ever, an NFL club will be

19
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: playing back to back games in London, and that is

20
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: London's adopted team, Jacksonville. So the Jaguars are going to

21
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: be playing a home game at Wembley in London against

22
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: the Falcons in Week four. They are then going to

23
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: stay there the entire week and then play the Bills

24
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: the following week on the north side of London at

25
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

26
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: Save it what you will, and is it an.

27
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Insurmountable advantage for the Bills to overcome. No, but Jacksonville

28
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: staying in that time zone and doing zero traveling I

29
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: think has somewhat of an advantage anyway. Then a Bills

30
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: team that will be traveling over five time zones, and

31
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: I don't know when they would plan to leave, whether

32
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: they would spend the whole week there, or whether they

33
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't leave until a Thursday night maybe and spend Friday

34
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: and Saturday there leading up to the game.

35
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: I don't know what their travel plans are. Yeah, but

36
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: that's an adjustment.

37
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: I don't even know if there's actually Usually there are

38
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: rules that say the league says you got to be

39
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: here this much early in case something happens. You know

40
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: you've got time to I would say if it was

41
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: if it was you and me, we go.

42
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 4: Friday or Saturday.

43
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: Even I do know that a lot of the NFL

44
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: team's more recently have leaned towards leaving late in the

45
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: week as opposed to making a whole week of it,

46
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: because I will just tell you back in twenty fifteen

47
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: when the Bills went to London to play the Jaguars

48
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: as well.

49
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: That game was at Wembley.

50
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan was the head coach and we spent the

51
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: whole week there. We left Sunday night after playing a

52
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: Cincinnati team here at home. We got all our work

53
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: done after the game and then it was on the

54
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: buses at nine point thirty and we busted to Toronto.

55
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: Flew direct out of Toronto to London and spent the

56
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: entire week in Watford, which is about forty five minutes

57
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: outside of London.

58
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: And it was a long week.

59
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, it.

60
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: Was a long week.

61
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: The sports science is when we played, we played in

62
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: Germany and in London, and some of the American Bulls

63
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: they had back in the day as preseason stuff, so

64
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: it was you know, but you know, we had like

65
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: a you know, cast of thousands. We went for a

66
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: week both times on the sports sign to say if

67
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: you if you're gonna go, you got to go early

68
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: and get acclimated to the time zone change. Get hydrated

69
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: and all that because of the travel dehydration stuff. Or

70
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 3: show up, play, leave, go late, go like very late,

71
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: like go that day before, show up late, sleep, get up,

72
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: play the game, and then book out of there, because

73
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: then your body just you're you're on stored energy, your

74
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: calories are all set. You just get in there, you

75
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: can play, and you can get out. The later you

76
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 3: can push it to the event, the better because then

77
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: your body just guts it out. You don't even you

78
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: don't even just do it without thinking about it, as

79
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: long as you can get some you know, some sleep, proper.

80
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 4: Sleep in their lead up. So it's one or the other.

81
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: Either go a day for every hour of time change

82
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: there are, or go and then acclimate. Don't as you

83
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 3: get back, try and get back on schedule.

84
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: I remember when these games first began, regular season games

85
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: first started moving over there. More often than not, teams

86
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: would take the whole week and spend the whole week

87
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: there overseas. More recently, teams are leaving late in the

88
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: week Thursday night Friday and then playing Sunday and then

89
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: booking it back here. I do know also that the

90
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: NFL schedule makers give teams playing overseas the option to

91
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: take their bye week after playing Overseas the week after,

92
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 1: or if they would rather not, they could pick another week.

93
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, well they don't get a pick, but they just

94
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 4: will be that week.

95
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: A week other than the week week than the week

96
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: after an overseas game.

97
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 4: It's a tough call, I think.

98
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: Well, especially because it's it's so early in the season, right,

99
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: I mean this this game is week five, So do

100
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: you want your buye in week six? Because to me,

101
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: you're thinking less about the London game, You're thinking more

102
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: about the twelve games you still have left.

103
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: Yes, think about this though, it would almost be an

104
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: absolute fifty percent of when the start of training camp

105
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: was to the end of the season. Yes, two weeks,

106
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: then three preseason games, five regular season games.

107
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 4: That's eight or you know, a.

108
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: Ten weeks of preseason, ten weeks, and then you take

109
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 3: in the back end and then twelve on the back end.

110
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: Close. Still long, It is long. There's no other way

111
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 4: to slice it.

112
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: I'd be more inclined to get a bye like a

113
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: week ten or eleven, you know what I mean. Bodies

114
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: are starting to hang. I think when you want to

115
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: run down as late as you can get it. Yeah,

116
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: particularly for a team like.

117
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: The home stretch a lot easier.

118
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: Think about it. Think about it.

119
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: What could you get if you could call your shot?

120
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: You want your bye.

121
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: Week on week eighteen? Oh yeah, you know, I mean.

122
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Unless you've earned the top seed in the playoffs and

123
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: then you get a buye anyway, right.

124
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: But that's what you're kind of you know what I'm saying,

125
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: you kind of you think about that. I would want

126
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: to push it as far.

127
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 4: They don't do that.

128
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 3: They don't let anybody do that, which is why, because

129
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: you don't want a team that didn't earn to buy

130
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: to get a buye.

131
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: But that's what, you know, think about it.

132
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: I just think that the value of a bye week

133
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: in week eleven or twelve when bodies are really starting

134
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: to hang across your roster. Sure, I mean you know

135
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: how you felt in week twelve and thirteen, right, you

136
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: feel like garbage?

137
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's no really, there's no way to get

138
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: it perfect. Because think about it.

139
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: If if the Bills would have had their bye last

140
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: year right after the right after the game where Josh

141
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: got his elbow hurt, that would.

142
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: Have really been nice.

143
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, would have been beneficial. Yep, that was a week nine.

144
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: Same thing with a guy. You know, some guys the

145
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: bye will always fall perfectly. It'll be different guys every week,

146
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: but somebody's gonna be like, oh man, the bye fell

147
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: perfectly for me.

148
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 4: I got an extra week and I'm ready to go.

149
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: But the buy and week four, but that's that's because

150
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: of injuries.

151
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: The buye and week four. It's just like, what are

152
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: we doing? Why bother? You've played three games, we gotta buy,

153
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: but that's when they start.

154
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 4: But this will be yeah, exactly, But that which.

155
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: Makes which makes me wonder too, Like if the Bills say, hey,

156
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: look we don't want that buy in week six after

157
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: our London game, does the league hand them week four?

158
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think that help.

159
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 4: You could ask for it, Yeah, I think.

160
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: I don't think that's if they're talking about that. If

161
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: you're gonna say, listen, we're gonna cut it out. We're

162
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: gonna we don't want our buy week after the London game,

163
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: We'll take it as late as we can get it.

164
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be to me, that's what you do.

165
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, that's what you do, right.

166
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: The full game full slate of games that were revealed

167
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: today Week four in London Falcons against the Jags. As

168
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: we mentioned, Bill's in Week five Jags in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

169
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: Then in week six Ravens against the Titans in London.

170
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: That's technically a Titans home game. Uh so three in

171
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: a row, three weeks in a row, which I think

172
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: is kind of smart. Like you're building momentum with that

173
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: first game in London, Well why not have two more

174
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: in the next two weeks in the same place. You know,

175
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: you're building all this momentum up in England, you know,

176
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: in London, right, have another one the next week, have

177
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: another one the next week. I think the back to

178
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: back to back idea is a smart one because you're

179
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: just in England's face for three weeks and a three

180
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: weekends in a row. There'll be the Germany ones are

181
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: back to back as well.

182
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: It's there'll be a group of your fans that will

183
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: go to both games as well, you know That's what

184
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: I mean. Yeah, and they'll make a thing of it.

185
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: The built you know, the Built Mafia. Would I mean

186
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 3: if we were over there for for two games, they'd

187
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: be all all about right right, yeah?

188
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: They so?

189
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

190
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 3: That and I think that is if you think about it.

191
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 4: It's a little bit of an advantage for the Jaguars.

192
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: They go over there and stay for it for two weeks.

193
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

194
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's not an insurmountable thing that the

195
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: Bills wouldn't be able to overcome. But I think most

196
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: if you ask most coaches and certainly most players, I

197
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: think they would say, yes, it is an advantage kinday,

198
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: I mean to what degree, I don't know.

199
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 4: It'll be interesting two. I'll say this though, two weeks

200
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 4: on the road.

201
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: You're almost asking, right, but the Jags have set up

202
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: shop over there, like they have auxiliary offices and everything,

203
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: because they play over there every year.

204
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: It's a tenth year in a row they're playing over there.

205
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you don't have auxiliary family over there.

206
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: Well that's true, you know that's true. But if they're

207
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: staying two weeks, maybe they're bringing them with.

208
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: Them, And yes, that's fine. But when you I'll tell

209
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 3: you this, when they come back after being over there

210
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: for two weeks, I'll bet you they flop that next

211
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 3: game unless they're bye weeks to the next Put.

212
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: A lookout on week six, right for the jack out

213
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: and the white board.

214
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: Put that on the whiteboard.

215
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: Sure, I'll bet you they come back and absolutely stink

216
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: in their next home game in the States.

217
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: The two Germany games, which I believe are both taking

218
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: place in Frankfurt this time around, involve AFC East clubs

219
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: as well. Dolphins against the Chiefs week nine. That's a

220
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs home game. Colts against the Patriots, that's a Patriots

221
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: home game.

222
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: So you have that, and those are the two Germany games.

223
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, I wouldn't mind playing the

224
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins in Week ten or the Patriots in Week eleven.

225
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Get them coming back off of a European trip, right,

226
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Week twelve, the Black Friday Game,

227
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: Steve has been announced. It is a three pm kick

228
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins at Jets Division tilt there for Black Friday Football.

229
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: We know that Amazon was promised this in the second

230
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: year of their agreement with the NFL.

231
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: Here it is Dolphins at Jets.

232
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 4: This has a and I get it too the reason

233
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 4: for the europe games, but this does have a strong

234
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: that England games have a strong AFC flavor because of

235
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 4: the ninth game for the AFC this year.

236
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, I mean every game overseas is AFC

237
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: except for the Falcons are the only non AFC club

238
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: even playing.

239
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 4: And they've got the easiest schedule known to man.

240
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you this, Steve. Week twelve is

241
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: the Black Friday game Dolphins at Jets. You got a

242
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: forty year old Aaron Rodgers playing behind an offensive line

243
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: that needs to put some pieces together. And you got

244
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: Tua Tongue of Ioloa, who is never the picture of

245
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: health the last couple of seasons. How risky is it?

246
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm seriously asking you this. How risky is this matchup

247
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: in week twelve that you get both quarterbacks playing in

248
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: that game? Week twelve, Steve, so.

249
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: You're getting Wilson Zach Wilson again, Skyler Thompson, you come

250
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: Black Friday.

251
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: Or Mike White.

252
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: Mike White's with the Dolphins now is the backup Mike White.

253
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: So you get Mike White against Zach Wilson.

254
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: You'll be billing the former Jet backup against his old club,

255
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: facing the former guy he succeeded as the backup and

256
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. If both of those quarterbacks are hurt, I

257
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: am gonna say I am very tempted to put this

258
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: on the whiteboard that both starting quarterbacks for these two teams.

259
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: One will not be playing at least one in Week twelve.

260
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: Now, the Jets have done some things with their offensive line.

261
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: I got every reason to believe their offensive line is

262
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 3: gonna be good.

263
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: The Dolphins haven't.

264
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: The Dolphins have not, and Tua. The best thing Tua

265
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: did all off season was learned how to fall properly, Yeah,

266
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 4: how to fall out, to get his judo lessons, how

267
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 4: to keep from getting his head beat. That's that's his.

268
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: Offense Sea twelve, Steve, can you, I can't believe they

269
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: even put that game there.

270
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: That seems like a decade away right now, doesn't it.

271
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: I know, but it's like twelve years away, not twelve

272
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: twelve months into a season.

273
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I'm telling you.

274
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put the Ravens in primetime late because Lamar

275
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: is hurting the back half of the schedule. I would

276
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: not put the Dolphins anywhere near prime time near the

277
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: end of the season.

278
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: Just I'm not doing it.

279
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: Not if two is the quarterback or Lamar is the

280
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: quarterback in Baltimore, I would have hurt. And I'm sure

281
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: they did this, they'd do this, but I would say

282
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 3: that what I would do is just like what you're saying.

283
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: I'd say I'd put a game in there, and well

284
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: they did it the opposite way. They put Rogers and

285
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: Tua in the game. No, and it could be flexed

286
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: in Week twelve.

287
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so Amazon in their first year of the Black

288
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: Friday game, it could be Black Friday in a way

289
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: that they had never imagined, neither starting quarterbacks playing. We

290
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: want to talk about casting a black black cloud.

291
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 4: Or black arm bands. They yeah, that it could happen.

292
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 4: You're right, that's great. Twelve is week twelve is think

293
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: about think about it right now.

294
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think about week We're not even in

295
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 3: a training camp and preseason games in the London games

296
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: and Europe games and yat the yat the yat that see,

297
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: it seems like it's twenty five years away. That seems

298
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: like you're in kindergarten and you're looking forward to your

299
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 3: high school graduation.

300
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 4: That's how a.

301
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: Long wave Week twelve seems right now. And you're right,

302
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers at forty and to a tongue of I

303
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: looa with his one thousand snaps under his belt, that

304
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: not gonna happen.

305
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: I am not convinced that Amazon's gonna get their bang

306
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: for the buck on that game.

307
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: That game gets flexed.

308
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: That game is a three pm kick Week sixteen, Christmas weekend,

309
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: the Christmas one of the Christmas Day games Giants at

310
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: Eagles in an NFC East tilt four thirty kickoff there. Now,

311
00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: that will not be the only game played on Christmas Day, which,

312
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, is a Monday.

313
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: Oh, it is a Monday Monday.

314
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: So there will night four triple four double header anymore.

315
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they'll have a night game Monday night as well.

316
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: On Christmas Day. There's it's a triple header. There's a

317
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: one four, yes it is. There's a game on There's

318
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: a game on Christmas Eve night. There is a three

319
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: triple header on Christmas Day.

320
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about that.

321
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 3: I'll feel ambivalent about it as long as the Bills

322
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 3: can play at one o'clock on a Sunday.

323
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, on Christmas Eve the day before. Yeah.

324
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: Week seventeen, New Year's Eve game was announced Bengals at

325
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs four to twenty five kick there. That's a Sunday,

326
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: So that means Bengals at Chiefs is not the league's

327
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: kickoff game to start the season, which I suspected it

328
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: could be yesterday, So that is off the table. And

329
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: this seems to be leaning more and more Steve the

330
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: league's kickoff game, which will include the Chiefs at home.

331
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: Presumably it's looking more and more like that that could

332
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: be an AFC West divisional matchup there, whether Chief Chargers,

333
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders, or Broncos. I mean there's some alure when

334
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: you think about it with each of those teams you've got, well,

335
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: maybe not so much the Raiders. I mean it's Jimmy Garoppolo,

336
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: a new quarterback in a new place.

337
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 4: The Raiders Chiefs has been a rivalry, but it is

338
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: the biggest.

339
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: And most historic rivalry of the AFC West. The Broncos

340
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: have not only Russell Wilson, but they have Sean Payton

341
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: as a as a draw, you know, storied head coach,

342
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: super Bowl winning head coach in a new place. So

343
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: there's that. And then the Chargers. You know, you got

344
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Herbert and Mahomes throwing it all over the yard. That's

345
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: an attraction. So and that was a Week one game

346
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: last year and a Chargers team that is got a

347
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: really good that was the Week one Monday night game

348
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: and it Chargers at Chiefs, and it.

349
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 2: Was a good game.

350
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Chargers healthy are really good, but two weeks

351
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 3: into the season they're They're a mash unit every year.

352
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, so that's what we know to this point.

353
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, I think the kickoff game, the league's

354
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: kickoff game, that Thursday night game to start the season,

355
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: I think will be Chiefs and an AFC West opponent.

356
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: Now that this Chiefs Bengals matchups off the table, we

357
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: know that according to one Donna Kelcey, that the Chiefs

358
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: will be playing the Eagles in Week two, so that

359
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: seems to be off the table. So with that in mind,

360
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: more and more it seems like the Chiefs will be

361
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: playing a division opponent in their kickoff game in week

362
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: one on Thursday Night, the first game of the season.

363
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: I think that's realistic to think or believe at this

364
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: point in time. The Bills have to play the Chiefs

365
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: as well.

366
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: On the road.

367
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: When that happens, we will find out tomorrow when the schedule,

368

Speaker 1: the entire NFL schedule is released at eight pm. Maddi

Speaker 1: for you this season. Which brings us to today's topic

377
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: of discussion. We all know games that we like, games

378
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: that are attractive, scheduling spots that are attractive. What is

379
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: the one scheduling spot you'd like to see the Bills

380
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: avoid this fall? What's the game spot you don't want?

381
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: I know, there are a lot of people out there

382
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: that are after three times in four years, Steve done

383
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: with Thanksgiving, right, I know, But.

384
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: There's also some people who say, yeah, I want the

385
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving dating.

386
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: That is true, you know, but I think three times

387
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: in four years, you know, it's no longer a novelty

388
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: for a lot of Bills fans. Last year, if you remember,

389
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: it's right smack in the middle of dinner, it's the

390
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: twelve thirty game, you know.

391
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 3: Plus we were just getting over the six feet of snow.

392
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 4: We got the weekend.

393
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 2: Well that too.

394
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 4: Well move remember we went right back to Detroit two

395
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 4: weeks in a row.

396
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: I remember you traveled, so I was eating buffet turkey.

397
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 2: So that's in Detroit.

398
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: That's a little different. That was a different animal because

399
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 3: of that. But still there's people who are like, you know,

400
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 3: it's amazing how quick that becomes a tradition when you

401
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: get it like that. Yeah, particularly when you got a

402
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 3: team like the one we're watching.

403
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: When they're you know, they're when they're humming.

404
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, when they got the other team and they're

405
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 4: using them like a dust mop.

406
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: But you know, sol and they've done very well on things.

407
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: They have the Cowboys four years ago, they beat the

408
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: Saints on a Thursday night primetime Thanksgiving game two years ago,

409
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: and as we know, they beat the Lions last year

410
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: and a squeaker I think the other thing, knowing how

411
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: superstitious some Bills fans are, the last two years they've

412
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: lost prime time players to a c L injuries.

413
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 2: Two years ago, it was last year, it was Von Miller.

414
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 3: I'll say this, Detroit's getting rid of their turf because

415
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: of that. They're they're switching that out.

416
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: How are they working that? Are they doing a mixed

417
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: surface or is it all grass.

418
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 4: No, it's not gonna be all grass. Can't beat it.

419
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

420
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: That they're just changing the type the type of Yeah,

421
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: they're just getting a different brand that's a different type

422
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 3: of or different model of the whatever company they sell them.

423
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: Gotcha.

424
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 4: But they are changing it out and they're good. It's

425
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 4: some a new well. They all claim that the best.

426
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: So let us know what is the one scheduling spot

427
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: you'd like to see the bills avoid this fall? Eight

Speaker 1: bills on this year's schedule? And if you can't get

436
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: We'll get some of your comments on the air.

437
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: So, as I said, Steve, I'd be in the camp

438
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 1: of no Thanksgiving game. I would be fine with you.

439
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: You know, I can take a year off of the

440
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving game. Here after going three times in the last

441
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: four years, and skip that all. As a matter of fact,

442
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't mind skipping both holidays. What about no Christmas

443
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: Day either on Monday night?

444
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

445
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 4: Would it change it if it was a home game.

446
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: A little bit?

447
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 4: Is that better or worse? Tough question? Think about it.

448
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 4: Everybody's different too. I mean everybody's like.

449
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 2: At home is better than a way Well.

450
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 4: Sure, because at least you get a minute you get home.

451
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we didn't get home last year for

452
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: a Christmas Eve game. We got marooned in Chicago because

453
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: the airport here was closed.

454
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 4: Was like, you got home on like four o'clock Christmas Day.

455
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 2: Four pm Christmas Day. Yeah, that.

456
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: One.

457
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 4: I was so glad.

458
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: I'm so far down the food chain that I don't

459
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: have to do that stuff. I am so happy to

460
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: be the old guy who gets left behind. That is

461
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: so good that I Yeah, four pm on Christmas Day,

462
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: I'm getting there.

463
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 4: Here's the thing that's like a movie.

464
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: We already know. The Christmas Day game this year is

465
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: the four to thirty game. We know what that is.

466
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: So that means that the eight thirty slot is still.

467
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 2: Open, right, which I would prefer to avoid.

468
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bills are going to be in that mix.

469
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: You know, They're going to be in that mix on

470
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve. Well, everybody's playing on Christmas Eve is one

471
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 3: o'clock on Sunday. Yeah, so you're gonna get a game

472
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 3: on Christmas Eve unless you get the Thursday game that week,

473
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 3: which would be nice.

474
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 4: That'd be nice. Yeah, that'd be nice. Have it on

475
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 4: that doing.

Speaker 3: Twenty first, December twenty first, and then you get all

477
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 3: through Christmas that whole week.

478
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 4: Oh, that would think about it.

479
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: That would be delicious.

480
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that'd be a nice that'd be a little president

481
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: under the tree.

482
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five point fifty the number to

483
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: get on board one eight eight eight.

484
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 2: Five fifty two five point fifty.

485
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: Tell us which one scheduling spot would you like to

486
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: see the Bills avoid on their regular season schedule this fall.

487
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: Got an open line for you there, so feel free

488
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: to chime in, or we can take your comments on

489
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: the tweets sheet at one Bills Live. I would say

490
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: another one. I wouldn't mind avoiding Steve. I know they

491
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: got to play Kansas City on the road, and the

492
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: have done very well there in the regular season, winning

493
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: their last two times, actually, I think their last three

494
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: times the Tredavious White interception game in twenty seventeen where

495
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: they won sixteen to ten. Then they lost to the

496
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: Bills here in twenty twenty in the COVID year, and

497
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: then they've won the last two times in the regular

498
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: season out there. All that being said, I'd still prefer

499
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: to avoid at Kansas City Monday night.

500
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: That place is tough enough to play in to begin with.

501
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 2: Monday Night.

502
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: You do Monday Night in Kansas City, you're just asking

503
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: for it because the atmosphere, which is already intimidating, goes

504
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 1: up to another level. I know you remember some Sunday

505
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: nights and Monday nights in Kansas City when you were

506
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: a very good football team and.

507
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 2: You just ran into a meat grind.

508
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: One of the Super Bowl I think it's between one

509
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 3: of the Super Bowl years, whether it's between as between

510
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 3: ninety ninety and ninety three, we went into Kansas City

511
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 3: and just got, i mean hammered by those guys. We

512
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: were on the we were on the flight back and

513
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 3: like Thurman is singing that Tomahawk song that they did,

514
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 3: we were all like singing.

515
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 4: You couldn't get out of your head.

516
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: I mean that Now, we beat him in the championship

517
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: game that year to go, so I guess it was

518
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 3: his ninety three Montana's last game. Well it wasn't his

519
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 3: last game. He came back the next year, but it

520
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 3: was the last game that year. So we beat him

521
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 3: later on in the season at home. That's when Marty

522
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 3: Schottenheimer was their head coach. Marcus Allen was on that club.

523
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: I mean they absolutely ripped our helmets off and handed.

524
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 4: Him to us. I mean I was like, so.

525
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: You can speak to I mean, you've been there, that

526
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: place and there for Sunday one games.

527
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 2: It's different on Monday.

528
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 3: Night, right Monday night, Yes, yes, because then you know

529
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,920

Speaker 3: you got all day. I prefer to it, and I

531
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 3: mean it is a ramp up period.

532
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: So mark that one off. Today night football at Kansas.

533
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 3: You don't want to just ask or Sunday night, same thing. Yeah,

534
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: you just don't get a primetime game. Just have a

535
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 3: one o'clock on Sunday. Actually I'd rather have it at

536
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 3: like a ten am. See if they can get up that,

537
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 3: you know, But let's play this game at six am

538
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: on Sunday.

539
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 2: Say, who got a good night?

540
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 5: Right?

541

Speaker 3: See if you can get a good night's sleep. Let's yeah,

542
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: that's a that's asking for it.

543
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to the phones and ask you what

544
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: is the one scheduling spot you'd like to see the

545
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: Bills avoid this fall.

546
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 2: We lead off today with Mike in Lakewood. What do

547
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: you got for us? Mike here on One Bill's Live.

548
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 5: Hey, thank a lot for taking my call.

549
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 6: I'll go with Miami in September.

550
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I like that.

551
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 7: Let's try to get that game later in the year.

552
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 7: I'll hang up and listen.

553
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 4: To you guys.

554
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's that's a very astute pick Mike game

555
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: because of what happened last year a little recently, twenty

556
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: degrees on the field and players are literally dropping.

557
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 3: It was one twenty on the Bill's sideline in seventy

558
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: eight on.

559
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: The players are throwing up at halftime, taking ivs just

560
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: to try to get through the game.

561
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 3: And that's and I'll say, I'll admit I'll admit it.

562
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: In all the years that we went down there, who

563
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 3: never had a game like that? Never had a game

564
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 3: like that? Now, there was a time too when the

565
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 3: stadium wasn't configured, like it didn't have the canopy. So

566
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: if we were in the sun, so were they. So

567
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 3: both teams were out there kind of melt dealing with it,

568
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: right so as and I actually and they'll run up

569
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:27,959
Speaker 3: to the game during the week, I was like, they

570
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 3: were like wow.

571
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 4: He I was like, no, I don't know.

572
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 3: It hasn't been that my experience, but that that game,

573
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 3: it's completely different now they had the canopy over the stadium, and.

574
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm surprised there isn't more lobbying on the part of

575
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: NFL owners to try to move more of those early

576
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: Miami home games to four o'clock. It's just moving the

577
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: game to four would make a difference because now you're

578
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: only talking about because the sun's already dipping behind that

579
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: canopy by four in the afternoon, and now it's not

580
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: as much of a factor and by a second half

581
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: this going down.

582
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 4: Chance then yeah, you're right.

583
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 3: And it was the same thing as well in Arizona

584
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 3: when they were in Sun Devil Stadium Sunday at one o'clock.

585
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: That thing was like a big walk I mean a

586
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: big frying pan in that stadium as well.

587
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 4: Same thing, But but he didn't have a roof either

588
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 4: and so both clubs got cooked. Yeah, it's that was rough.

589
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: So that's a good that's a good suggestion, Mike. Yeah.

590
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: And usually when we see Bill's Dolphins in Miami early

591
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: in the season and then Bill's Dolphins in Buffalo late

592
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: in the season, the next year, they'll flip flop it.

593
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: Not all the time, but sometimes they'll flip flop it.

594
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see if that happens when

595
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: the schedule is released tomorrow. Let's let's go to Kevin

596
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: in Hamburg next year. Kevin, when do you have for us?

597
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, how you doing sure? I'd like this year

598
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 8: to change and knock out and forget about Halloween because

599
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 8: the last three years on Halloween the Bills have won,

600
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 8: but they have barely won. Three years ago, if it

601
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 8: wasn't a Dustin's ego stripping Cam Newton, we had blown

602
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 8: that game. Two years ago against Miami, we barely won.

603
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 8: People boomed the Bills in the first half that they

604
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 8: couldn't get nothing going. They only won like twenty to eleven.

605
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 8: And then last year the turnover machine started in the

606
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 8: second half and we should im mutilate in Green Bay.

607
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 8: So I'm looking at a calendar. Let's skip October twenty

608
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 8: ninth and had to buy that week, Skip Halloween weekend,

609
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 8: and go right to the first week of November when

610
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 8: the around election days though, skip Spooky weekend.

611
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, Kevin, he's apparently worried about the

612
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: nefarious forces of the Halloween weekends. Well, it's not like

613
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: they lost those games, but right, they were too close

614
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: for now for Kevin to handle again.

615
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: That you're yeah, I don't think the schedule is gonna

616
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: have anything to do with whether they turn it over

617
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 3: where their bye week is. I mean, turning it over

618
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 3: is always a bad recipe. Yeah, and you're right, that's

619
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 3: what That's really what sunk them last year, in my opinion,

620
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 3: was the turnovers and drops. If they if they alleviated

621
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 3: those two stats, the whole season's different. But you're right, Okay,

622
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 3: no Halloween, yeah, fight, I mean yeah, because that's deep

623
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: enough into the season as well.

624
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: It's like week eight.

625
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have to take a break here, but Veronica

626
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn Richard in Rochester, you two will be leading

627

00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to one Bills Live. Chris Brown,

633
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you. Topic of discussion today, what is

634
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,479
Speaker 1: the one scheduling spot you'd like to see the Bills

635
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: avoid this fall. Let's go right back to the phones

636
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: at eight O three oh five fifty and leading us

637
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: off here is Veronica in Brooklyn.

638
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 2: What do you got us?

639
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 9: Veronica, Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. I could

640
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 9: honestly use Thanksgiving off this year. I feel like, you know,

641
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 9: it's always a crucial part in the It's always a

642
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 9: crucial point in the season. And so I got to watch.

643
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 9: But I have a big friends giving thing every Thanksgiving

644
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 9: and they're kind of getting tired of me derailing everything

645
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 9: by having to watch football.

646
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 5: So I get it.

647
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair.

648
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, people want the holiday to be the holiday. I mean,

649
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of people that equate

650
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: or they they kind of link football with Thanksgiving. I mean, heck,

651
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: a lot of families have a backyard game of football

652
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving either before probably better before than after dinner.

653
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: Kind of hard when you're slashing around out there with

654
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: a full belly. So yeah, I mean football and Thanksgiving

655
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: kind of go together. But I'm guessing Veronica in Brooklyn

656
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: is what's that line you always say, in an unholy land?

657
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: She's a pilgrim in an unholy land?

658
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, down there in Brooklyn, And so she wants to

659
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: put the Bills game on, and everybody else is like,

660
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: what do you get doing.

661
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 4: Their jet giant people.

662
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's gotta be a little tricky to navigate

663
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: when you're not in home territory.

664
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: So I get it. I understand that.

665
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to Richard in Rochester.

666
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 10: What do you have for us, Richard, Well, I can't

667
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 10: have the Bills play on openly game on Thursday night

668
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 10: because I have a dilemma. I have something else to.

669
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 8: Do that night.

670
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: You have you have a prior commitment.

671
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 10: I have a prior commitment, but my number one commitment

672
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 10: is the Bills. So I'm gonna have to give up

673
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 10: the number two choice, which I don't want to do

674
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 10: because I want to go. I have tickets to go

675
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 10: see Bruce and Syracuse. Oh, I want to give up

676
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 10: the concert.

677
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a tough one.

678
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 4: I get it.

679
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're gonna be I think you're gonna be. Okay, Richard,

680
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: we were talking about this at the top of the show,

681
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: and thanks for the call. Luck with the decision, but

682
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna have a decision to make.

683
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: I think the more we're thinking about it, knowing the

684
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: Bills played in the kickoff game last year, I don't

685
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: think they're going to be part of the equation this year.

686
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: And I think knowing the Eagles are off the table

687
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs in the kickoff game because according to

688
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 1: Dona Kelsey, either playing in Week two and then knowing

689
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: that the Bengals are off the table because they're playing

690
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs on Christmas Day, those that takes a bunch

691
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 1: of major league matchups off the table. And we're kind

692
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: of thinking it's probably gonna be an AFC West matchup

693
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: for the kickoff game.

694
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 3: Now it could be the Bills Chiefs, because you know,

695
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 3: the Bills were in it last year and they showed

696
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 3: up big time, and one of the things that derailed

697
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 3: them last year was the injuries they had. Now everybody's

698
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 3: gonna show up with that game on opening weekend healthy,

699
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 3: they're gonna look their best. So maybe the league is

700
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 3: gonna wants to say, Okay, here's this Bills Chiefs game.

701
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 3: We'll see what they got Bills. Now, the Chiefs are

702
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: coming off of you know, world championship and the Bills

703
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 3: once again or contenders, Let's see if they can run

704
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: this Super Bowl champion through the grinder like they did

705
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 3: the Rams last year. There may be some of that. Certainly,

706
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 3: Josh and this crew have some national cachet that you

707
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 3: know people are going to tune in like they did

708
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 3: last year.

709
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 4: But I'm I'm kind of with Brownie on this. I

710
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 4: think they're going to go for fresh faces. That's what

711
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 4: I think.

712
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think the Chargers would make the most

713
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: sense there because you got Herbert and Mahomes and both

714
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: those guys can deal, So that would make the most

715
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 1: sense to me. So, but it could you know, Sean

716
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: Payton could have a draw, you know, as the new

717
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: coach in Denver with Russell Wilson Raiders, maybe because of

718
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: the storied rivalry.

719
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 2: That the Chiefs and Raiders are.

720
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of leaning a AFC West, So you

721
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: might be okay, Richard in Rochester. You might be able

722
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: to get to see Bruce and Syracuse on that Thursday night.

723
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: After all, Back to the phones and to Mark in

724
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: Northern California, what we got Mark, Hey, thanks for.

725
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 5: Taking our calls here.

726
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 7: I will say here what I would like to avoid

727
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 7: on the schedule for the Bill's sake and because there's

728
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 7: gonna be enough distractions as it is. There are a lot

729
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 7: of questions about it already. But when they go to Cincinnati,

730
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 7: I would like them to go to Cincinnati and daylight

731
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 7: with an afternoon game or four o'clock the latest kickoff,

732
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 7: because I think just playing playing under the lights in

733
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 7: Cincinnati we bring back bad memories.

734
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that, Mark, That's that's totally valid. I

735
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: understand where you're coming from on that. I think that's

736
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a hard one no matter what I mean.

737
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: The fact is the Bills do have to go to Cincinnati,

738
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: and thanks for the call, Mark, they do have to

739
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: go to Cincinnati, no matter what. We know that's coming,

740
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: and the team can try as they might to kind

741
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: of put that flush that from their memory banks. But

742
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. Human nature. I don't think

743
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: is going to allow that to happen. They're just going

744
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: to have to put their best foot forward in not

745
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: trying to let those things flash through their head while

746
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: they try to play a football game.

747
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: But I think it's going to be difficult, right.

748
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: It would be better, I would say if it wasn't

749
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: a primetime game, But knowing the caliber of those two teams,

750
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be television networks pounding the table

751
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: to get that game in prime time. Yeah, not to

752
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: mention it was primetime last year.

753
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 4: I would also wish for it to be later in

754
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 4: the season. Yeah, push it back, Push it back a

755
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 4: little bit, give them some time. Get the more distance,

756
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 4: the better, you know, way back, So we'll see.

757
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: Although it was a week seventeen game last season on

758
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: a Monday.

759
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 3: Night, right, I would just want more games in between

760
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 3: those two.

761
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I would agree.

762
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: Right back to the phones and from one Mark to

763
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: another to Mark in West Seneca. What do you have

764
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: Forst Mark here on One Bill's Live.

765
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 11: Hyeah, New guys, A real clo I didn't call about

766
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 11: that since again, but since you guys brought it up

767
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 11: with the line, call a real quick comment about that.

768
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 11: I would love to see Damar, assuming he makes the

769
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 11: team and everything's okay, lead the team out onto the

770
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 11: field that day. I think the SINCI people would recognize that,

771
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 11: and they have shown their class through that whole situation

772
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 11: that I think they would give that young man a

773
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 11: standing ovation and put a whole different kind of spin

774
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 11: and atmosphere on that game. I think that would be

775
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 11: the way to start that game off for everybody.

776
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it would be a great moment, no question

777
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 3: about it. What other thoughts you have?

778
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 8: I called.

779
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 11: I want to see the Bills stay away from Monday night.

780
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 11: I hate waiting for Monday night games that yesterday just

781
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 11: always kills me. So if they could avoid any Monday

782
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 11: Night that would be great. And as far as the

783
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 11: I wanted to comment on the Miami situation with their stadium,

784
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 11: I can't believe in you guys correct me. I don't

785
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 11: know if there's been any discussion, and I don't believe

786
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 11: the Bills were the only team in that situation last

787
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 11: year with the young godly heat that was going on

788
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 11: down there, that there's been any discussion about rectifying that situation,

789
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 11: whether it be four o'clock starts or making them put

790
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 11: another canopy up, whatever, it might be. And I think

791
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 11: if the owners let the situation go on and something

792
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 11: drastic happens, I mean, there's a difference between home field

793
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 11: advantage and putting people's wives in danger. And we had

794
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 11: the situation up in Minnesota many years ago where we

795
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 11: lost a big man to heatstrope in camp, and I

796
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 11: mean there's nothing saying that something with drastic like that

797
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 11: could not happen in that kind of situation. I mean,

798
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 11: that's just crazy to me that the owners have not

799
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 11: gotten together and discuss this and decided we have to

800
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 11: rectify this. We cannot let that happen to any other

801
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 11: team again. So just my thoughts, honest, Thanks guys.

802
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's no easy way to fix it the problem,

803
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 3: that's the problem. There's just no easy way to fix it.

804
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 3: You know, you can imagine what it would cost to

805
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 3: put an entire roof on the place and doing that now, uh,

806
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 3: and why you can do there are small fixes. I mean,

807
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 3: you could, you know, put those mistress down, those cooler things.

808
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 3: That shade is the real problem being actually having everything

809
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 3: on the sideline being baked in the sun is the

810
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 3: real problem. And unless without shade, you're not You're just

811
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 3: not going to fix it, right.

812
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: I think the easiest fix is moving those games to

813
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: four o'clock. Yeah, because now the sun is less of

814
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: a factor because it's lower in the sky. I would

815
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: say by the end of the first quarter, probably the

816
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: entire field is out of the sunlight. And so now

817
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: you're in a situation where there's a little bit more

818
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 1: of a level playing field. The risk of heat exhaustion

819
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: or god forbid, something worse is far less.

820
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 2: Of a threat.

821
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: And you know, there you go, and you're right, Mark,

822
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: there were other teams that dealt with this last year.

823
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 2: And the reason I know this is because I watched

824
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 2: it happen.

825
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: I watched a Vikings at Dolphins game October sixteenth, so

826
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: that's week six. So this is three weeks after the

827
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: Bill's ridiculous humidity game, and Vikings players are dropping. They

828
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: lost four players through the first three quarters due to

829
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: heat exhaustion, and then they had a couple other players

830
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: get injured with pulled muscles. So the Bill, You're right,

831
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: the Bills were not the only team that had to

832
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: deal with that. That was another one o'clock kick October sixteenth,

833
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: week six, So even in mid October, it's an issue

834
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: down there. So now you're getting close to like half

835
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: the season where it's a factor for other teams.

836
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 2: They got to come up with something.

837
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 3: I think you're probably right, Brownie. Unless it's a primetime game,

838
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 3: that shouldn't It shouldn't even be kicked off.

839
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 4: Until four to twenty five, like the regular afternoon in Miami.

840
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: Is a good enough team where you can almost move

841
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: him into that bigger window.

842
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, And to me, that's not even as big

843
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: a thing even if they don't, even if that's not

844
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 3: the national doubleheader game, just let him play it at

845
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 3: four twenty five and go to the same the same

846
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 3: audience as they normally would.

847
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: Break time for us here, John and Detroit, Russ and Depew.

848
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,880

862
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: As we're asking you, what is the one schedule spot

863
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: you'd like to see the Bills avoid?

864
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 2: This fall to John and Detroit we go. What do

865
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 2: you got for us? John?

866
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 5: Yay, Good afternoon guys. First, just a thanks for your

867
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 5: show every day. A former Buffalo native, you always put

868
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 5: me right back at home when I'm listening, so I

869
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 5: appreciate that. Happy to do it Dad, the person who's

870
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 5: lived now through decades of Thanksgiving Day games and having

871
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 5: to go to the scare of Buffalo here last year

872
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 5: almost losing that certainly is not what I want to see.

873
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 5: But number one on my list is the Bills opening

874
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 5: at the Jets. I think at the Jets and Aaron

875
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 5: Rodgers are going to have their day in the sun.

876
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 5: It's going to be that opener. They're going to be

877
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 5: filling those guys with jet fuel, and I do not

878
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 5: want to play in that place an opening week or

879
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 5: opening day. I'd rather to have them send the date

880
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 5: day Bull and the Giants here for like a Sunday

881
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 5: night or a Monday night game that weekend. But it's

882
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 5: all set and still and we'll find out pretty soon, y'all.

883
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 5: I'll hang up and then you hear your reaction.

884
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, John.

885
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: You bring up a valid point, because no one knows

886
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: how to stir up a hype machine better than the

887
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: New York media, and before they have played a regular

888
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: season game, hope will be at a fevered pitch among

889
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: Jets fans. And that stadium, if you've ever been in

890
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 1: it Medlife Stadium, it is cavernous and a lot of

891
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 1: the noise is trapped in there because it is fully

892
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: enclosed all the way to the top, and if you

893
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: are down on the field, it is extremely loud. And

894
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: you stick that in a primetime atmosphere. I'm not saying

895
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 1: it's Arrowhead on a Monday night, which I would prefer

896
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: to avoid, but I could very easily see Week one.

897
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: I've said this on the air a few times already

898
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: this week. I could very easily see Bills at Jets

899
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: Week one, either Sunday night or Monday night.

900
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 2: It's just it makes.

901
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 1: Way too much sense for the networks, big market involved

902
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,479
Speaker 1: in New York. The Bills always draw in prime time.

903
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: It just makes a whole lot of sense. And we

904
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: know that division games are scheduled early in the season

905
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: and late in the season.

906
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 3: It could also be the four to twenty five game.

907
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 3: I would take that, Yeah, and I would take that

908
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 3: as well. But that isn't you would have. I think

909
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 3: for Aaron Rodgers Josh Allen in New York, I think

910
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 3: you'd pull Super Bowl type numbers, playoff game type numbers.

911
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 3: It's gonna be big.

912
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, just for the first time out in New York.

913
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, people are gonna want to see that, and so

914
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 3: they're gonna put I think that game, that game has

915
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 3: to go. It'll be a CBS game because they'll never

916
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 3: give it up.

917
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing though, I was reading that, like

918
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: games and conferences aren't beholden to specific networks anymore. Maybe

919
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: they do throw wide open. Yeah, maybe they do a

920
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: wide open thing. You can draft games. We'll know when

921
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: we see the schedule how wide open it was. You know,

922
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: our NFC team suddenly on CBS and you know, like

923
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: only you know, afc AFC matchups suddenly on Fox or

924
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: ABC or ESPN or whatever. But yeah, I would prefer

925
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: to avoid the New York hype machine week one, when

926
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: everybody thinks that Rogers has taking him to the super

927
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: Bowl and is the second coming.

928
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 2: Don't need that.

929
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 4: I'd almost I'll say this though, in.

930
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,479
Speaker 3: And just trying to get out ahead of what that's

931
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 3: going to be like, it almost might be better to

932
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 3: do it in week one. Get it out of the

933
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 3: way so that you're not you don't have you're not

934
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 3: coming off a game and all.

935
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 4: Of a sudden you just send slapshin the thing.

936
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 3: You can see it coming, you know, and the media

937
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 3: for New York will be will be preoccupied with the

938
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 3: roster construction and how they look in the preseason.

939
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, get that out of the way.

940
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: I would say, Okay, that's an interesting way to look

941
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: at it, because when you do have the most preparation

942
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 1: leading up to that, yeah, first you get ready for that,

943
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: you can pull off the most surprises in Week one

944
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: because it's no tape on what you're doing.

945
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 3: That's right, and with the questions that the Bills will

946
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 3: have surrounding their defense, most notably Sean McDermott calling and

947
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 3: plays as opposed to Leslie Fraser and without Tremaine Edmonds

948
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 3: and with whoever's going to get that spot. You know,

949
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 3: Von Miller is going to be ready all of that stuff. Yeah,

950
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 3: I might want that game, not that I want, not

951
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 3: that I want any part of Aaron Rodgers where he's

952
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,439
Speaker 3: forty years old or not. But and that's a because

953
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 3: it's a really good roster and you'll be helping you.

954
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 3: You want to play them at your best. Yeah, they'll

955
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 3: be at their best as well. But I think that's

956
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 3: that's kind of what I'm I'm leaning towards. I think

957
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 3: it's a great match up. It's a great matchup, and

958
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 3: I think it's not going to get super entertaining. I

959
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 3: don't think that game goes off at one o'clock on Sunday.

960
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 4: Maybe it will.

961
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 2: I think it's got primetime written on.

962
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 3: I do two, and maybe it'll happen like week five,

963
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 3: week six, weeks week two, week four, whatever. It may

964
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 3: happen somewhere along the line on a primetime game. But

965
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 3: I to me, I think if you want to make

966
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 3: sure it's a good matchup, you put it week early.

967
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, back to the phones into Russ and Depew.

968
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 4: What do you got Russ.

969
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 12: Good listen. I'm a little confused as far as scheduling.

970
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 5: Scheduling spot that I'd like to apploid.

971
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 12: But why is it every year, I think this was

972
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 12: year three, possibly.

973
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 5: Four, we're playing the Chiefs in Kansas City. I mean,

974
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 5: how does that work?

975
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 12: They just flip a coin.

976
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 5: No, it's why don't we play him here in Buffalo?

977
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: They did in twenty twenty, but there were no fans

978
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: in the stands because it was COVID and Russ. It's

979
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: a rotational schedule, so and I don't know if I

980
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: got enough time here before the top of the to

981
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: explain it quickly enough, but essentially it is this, The

982
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 1: Bills play one of the other divisions in the AFC

983
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: every three years. They played the AFC South, then they

984
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: played the AFC North, they played the AFC West, and

985
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: that rotates.

986
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 4: So there was a year Sea West year.

987
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: Right, so this is the AFC West year. The last

988
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: time that they played the entire AFC West was twenty twenty.

989
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: Where did their Bills play them here in Buffalo? So

990
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: that alternates every three years that you play the entire division.

991
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: If you played them home, the last time you play

992
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: them away the next time. Then the other two instances,

993
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two were based on

994
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: the rotational schedule, where one year you play the team

995
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: in the division in your conference that you're not playing.

996
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: So if the Bills are playing last year, for example,

997
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: they played what the AFC North, so they play one

998
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: team from the AFC South at home, that was Tennessee,

999
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: and they play one team away from the other division,

1000
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: the AFC West, that was Kansas City, because those were

1001
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: the two teams that won their division like the Bills,

1002
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: was like the Bills, So you play the same team

1003
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: that finished in the same place in that other division,

1004
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: and they played them away. And then in twenty twenty

1005
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: one it was a way again for a different reason

1006
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 1: that I'm not gonna remember off the top of my head,

1007
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: but it is based on a rotational schedule, and that's

1008
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: just the way it happened.

1009
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 2: This year, they're.

1010
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: Playing the AFC West in totality, and that's why they're

1011
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: playing them away because the last time they played the

1012
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: division in totality was twenty twenty and the Bills played

1013
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: them here at home front of no fans, mind you,

1014
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: but they played them.

1015
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 4: At home, and because they keep winning the division, and

1016
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 4: because the Chiefs keep winning their division, they keep playing

1017
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 4: each other.

1018
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's just the way it works.

1019
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 12: It is.

1020
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: There is nothing nefarious or conspiratorial about it.

1021
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can see it coming. We knew it last year.

1022
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 3: We're gonna play them again. We're gonna play Kansas City

1023
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 3: again in Kansas City. So it's plus the playoff games

1024
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 3: in Kansas City kind of make it seem like it's

1025
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 3: a foregone conclusion.

1026
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we have to take a break here, But

1027
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,760

Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three.

1049
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: Thus far, first hour of the show, some of the

1050
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: callers saying, no, my Miami road game in September. Don't

1051
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: want our guys melting again. Some people would prefer to

1052
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: avoid the Jets on opening weekend in prime time, knowing

1053
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: the frenzy the Jets fans are going to be whipped

1054
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: into for the debut of Aaron Rodgers. That's gonna be

1055
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: a hot ticket down there in a raucous atmosphere. I

1056
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 1: personally asked for no Monday night game in Arrowhead, knowing

1057
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: that that atmosphere, which is tough enough to play and

1058
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: to begin with, goes up by a factor of ten

1059
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: on Monday night.

1060
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 2: People have asked for no more Thanksgiving either.

1061
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 3: Right they people are like gag delicious on on Thanksgiving

1062
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 3: games already.

1063
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 4: Right, They're like, yes, enough.

1064
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 1: Too much, I've had my fill. Yes, no pun intended,

1065
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: it's I got I didn't know if this topic was

1066
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: going to be that good today. Man, everybody's got something.

1067
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 4: And I was telling Brownie, it's interesting too because all

1068
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 4: of us, all of us have our selfish little things

1069
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 4: like listen, I got a wedding. I gotta go to call.

1070
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: He's got Bruce Springsteen to right, hoping it doesn't get

1071
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 1: a bill, you know, he's And some people won't even

1072
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: tell you why they wanted they need to, you know whatever.

1073
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 3: So I got one of my kids getting married in September.

1074
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to take a week off for that.

1075
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 3: And it's interesting because I did it too, what he

1076
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 3: asked for?

1077
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 4: Is it completely selfish and self centered? Or is it

1078
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 4: like no, no, the team really struggled down in Miami

1079
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 4: at one o'clock. Let's put them back, Let's put that

1080
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 4: game back in there. It's all about somebody, you know,

1081
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 4: you got the selfless people who are such all about

1082
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 4: Bill state. They're all about Bill strategy. Let's have the

1083
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 4: team win. And then then there's other people like me going,

1084
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 4: it's about me.

1085
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,439
Speaker 2: Bro impacts my game.

1086
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,439
Speaker 3: I need my Thanksgiving back, and I need the bye

1087
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 3: week right here, that's what I need.

1088
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm hosting giving this year. I've got no time to

1089
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: watch the football game.

1090
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 4: Can't have it. It's so telling. Yeah, it's so telling,

1091
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 4: but still a lot to there's so much to think about,

1092
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 4: because I mean, let's face it, where they got a

1093
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 4: prime time telecast to put this thing out tonight, which

1094
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 4: is that in ant of it?

1095
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: That?

1096
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, that in and of itself will tell us all

1097
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 3: we need to know about you know, ourselves.

1098
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 4: But we also all have this, this vernacular and this

1099
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 4: knowledge like well, the Black Friday game, okay, but if

1100
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 4: it's a four to twenty five game seven, like good grief,

1101
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 4: it's like what just who do we play? What happened

1102
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 4: to those days? I know?

1103
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones to see what else

1104
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: you've got for us? And we lead off with Brett

1105
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. What do you have for his Brett?

1106
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 12: Oh? Oh call me off card. Hey guys, sorry about that.

1107
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 12: So I was thinking the week that they're in London

1108
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 12: the week after that, Right, it's a little early for

1109
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 12: them to take the buy so instead of it probably won't.

1110
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 12: But I don't want them playing Cinci or Kansas City

1111
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 12: after coming back playing in Tottenham.

1112
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be.

1113
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: That would be a tough first shot stateside after playing overseas.

1114
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:54,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no question about that.

1115
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 12: Brett especially. I mean, Jacksonvill is not going to be

1116
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:58,280
Speaker 12: pushovers this year.

1117
00:55:58,160 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 4: So that's right.

1118
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 3: We won't be an easy game, right, So that's yeah,

1119
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 3: you don't want Kansas City or or jack Or or

1120
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 3: Cincinnati after the after the Jacksonville game in London, particularly

1121
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 3: if there's no bye week there's a bye week, I'd

1122
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 3: take it you wouldn't care, which I get.

1123
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 4: Uh, but that's a good point.

1124
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that'll happen for this reason. Oh maybe

1125
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: not now that i'm thinking, because I was thinking, you

1126
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: traveled so far, Is the NFL gonna stick you with

1127
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: a road game the next week? They might because that's

1128
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: technically a home game for the Bills in London, right,

1129
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: so maybe they do stick him with a road game.

1130
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 2: Maybe tough.

1131
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got to go to Cincinnati, and they got

1132
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 3: to go to Kansas City. I agree with you those two,

1133
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 3: but there's not that many push Well, maybe Washington give

1134
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 3: us the Commanders after the after the London game. Okay,

1135
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 3: we've got a tough We're like the seventh toughest schedule

1136
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 3: in the league.

1137
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do.

1138
00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, maybe there's not that many walkovers on the schedule.

1139
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 3: Philly's not, the Giants are not, Washington, maybe Dallas, No,

1140
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 3: you know, and then you got the Patriots, the Jets

1141
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 3: and the Dolphins. Those are two those are important. You

1142
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 3: can't slide on those Cincinnati Raiders and the Chiefs two

1143
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 3: division of you know, you got the Raiders, Broncos, Rams.

1144
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 4: We play the Rams. No, no, we don't play the Room, play.

1145
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 2: The Charge in that strength schedule.

1146
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean so there's not that many games that

1147
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 4: are like, yeah, yeah, give us those guys, you know, Raiders,

1148
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 4: maybe Raiders, depending and by the time we get there

1149
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 4: in week six, we might be going, yeah, like, the

1150
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,919
Speaker 4: Broncos are better than we thought.

1151
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 2: Payton's a pretty good coach, right.

1152
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 3: Josh mcdaniels's got the Raiders playing, you know, Jimmy Garoppolo

1153
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 3: looks great.

1154
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 4: You know, something like that could happen, and it could

1155
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 4: be too that.

1156
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 3: You know, Pat Mahomes has got a nasty hand nail

1157
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 3: and he's not playing well or whatever, so you know,

1158
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 3: mind getting the Chiefs after that. But that's that's an

1159
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 3: interesting Yeah, that's a that's an interesting take.

1160
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 2: I just hope that does not happen.

1161
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 3: That's insightful. I agree with you don't want if the Bills.

1162
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 3: If the Bills turned down the opportunity to have their

1163
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 3: bye week in week what is it seven to six,

1164
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 3: week six and week five after the London game, playing

1165
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 3: week London week five. So if they turned down the

1166
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 3: bye week in week six, which you know we haven't

1167
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 3: heard anything about it, you don't want to get Kansas

1168
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 3: City or Cincinnati that week if they're coming back from London.

1169
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 4: That's that's a smart move.

1170
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go back to the phones and we go

1171
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: to Shane on a cell.

1172
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 2: What do you got for a Shane, Hey, I.

1173
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: Do not want a home Christmas game.

1174
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 5: My wife will murder me. She'll kill me.

1175
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 4: Well I just bring her with you.

1176
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 5: No, no, that she would definitely kill me.

1177
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Well there's Monday. There's Monday, three Monday games.

1178
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 3: The Christmas Londay, they're having a triple header a one,

1179
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 3: A four to thirty and an eight eight thirty.

1180
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 4: So good yeah, well say good.

1181
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 3: Well, that means there's six teams that may get that game,

1182
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 3: and that means you're one of well, we know two

1183
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 3: to one.

1184
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: With Cincinnati and Kansas City right on Christmas Day, Right,

1185
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: that's the four to twenty five game that's been announced already.

1186
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 2: So that's one.

1187
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 1: Oh no, sorry, Bengals Chiefs is New Year's Eve, Giants

1188
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: Eagles Christmas Day four to thirty pm. Right, we don't

1189
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: know what the one pm game is, and we don't

1190
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: know what the eight o'clock game is yet.

1191
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 4: The best case scenario is the Bills get Thursday Night

1192
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 4: football on that weekend.

1193
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 2: That's what That's what Steve's hoping for.

1194
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 4: That's that's my hope for. I don't avoid I'm kind

1195
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 4: of with you.

1196
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 3: I don't want the new the one o'clock game on

1197
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 3: Christmas Day.

1198
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 4: I mean I got a life too. Yeah, I mean

1199
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 4: that apparently so doa Shane. Yeah, so fear being that

1200
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 4: being a.

1201
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 3: Christmas Yeah, right, it's get to the point where our

1202
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 3: fanship in our team is starting to interfere with our

1203
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 3: family holiday traditions.

1204
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been.

1205
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 12: That way for thirty years.

1206
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 5: I've only been married for fifteen.

1207
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'm I think you'll be all right, Shane.

1208
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: You've made it this far, you know, I think you

1209
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: gotta hang good luck.

1210
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 2: And hopefully your wish is granted.

1211
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 4: I'll say this though, Shane, make sure she knows not

1212
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 4: your fault.

1213
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1214
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: The only thing Shane wants is no Bills game in

1215
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: his stocking for Christmas. Right, And it's tough out there, man,

1216
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: It's tough. Let's go back to the phones and to

1217
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: Pete in Rochester.

1218
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 2: What do you got for his Pete?

1219
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, I'm a twenty year season ticket holder. I

1220
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 13: love your guys show love love both you guys, Steve

1221
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,439
Speaker 13: and Chris. Steve is a big fan of you. Back

1222
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 13: in the nineties, I went to Ferdonia, so watch you

1223
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 13: guys at training camp. So I have a couple of

1224
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 13: quick thoughts on the schedule and the question comment. My

1225
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 13: thought are I just don't want them opening with the Bengals.

1226
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 13: And the reason is, you know, I was at a

1227
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 13: bar here in Rochester with a bunch of friends when

1228
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 13: that Monday night game happened, and it was just it

1229
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 13: was just such a buzzkill and I can't imagine how

1230
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 13: it was for the players, but it just even psychologically

1231
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,919
Speaker 13: as a fan, the opener, even if it's on the road,

1232
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 13: is something you get psyched for. And I don't know,

1233
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 13: I even that playoff game is as much as I

1234
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 13: was psyched to the playoffs, I still think it's going

1235
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 13: to take a little time to get over the Bills

1236
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 13: Bengals game, for at least me psychologically.

1237
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1238
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Steve feels the same way.

1239
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: He was kind of hoping that game gets pushed as

1240
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: far down the schedule as possible.

1241
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's your other point.

1242
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, definitely, Oh yeah. My other point is just

1243
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 13: I want to touch face a little bit more on

1244
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 13: the guy who's talking about the Dolphins game and just

1245
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 13: a possible thought for that. So, first of all, I

1246
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 13: had an argument with the friend who is he's actually

1247
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 13: a Bills fan, but he thought it was completely fair

1248
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 13: for them to have that, and I don't think it is.

1249
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 13: I think to me, it's like having you know, a

1250
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 13: half a roof on the stadium. It's like, if the

1251
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 13: conditions are bad, they have to be the same for

1252
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 13: both teams. And I think it was kind of slimy

1253
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 13: for them to do the canopy on one side. I'm

1254
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 13: sure they did it potentially, So I guess my question is,

1255
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 13: I know, like you said, Steve, there's no way they're

1256
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 13: going to have the expense of a roof, But I

1257
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 13: don't know. I'm thinking a canopy might be a lot

1258
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 13: lest but I have no idea. Can they do a

1259
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 13: canopy on the other half?

1260
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Well, No, the canopy goes all the way around the stadium, Pete.

1261
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 1: It's mainly built to shield the fans from the heat

1262
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: so they're not melting in the seats. And that's why

1263
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 1: the canopy exists. It's on all four sides of the stadium.

1264
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: But the way the sun goes so the stadium. The

1265
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: short ends are north south facing and the long ends

1266
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: of the stadium are east west facing, and so the

1267
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: sun travels across the south side of the stadium, but

1268
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: shines into the stadium on the bill sideline once it passed.

1269
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: Once you know the sun has passed the high the

1270
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: peak in the sky, it only shines on the visiting

1271
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: side sidelines. You can't tell me that wasn't by design

1272
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: by the home team. It creates a home field advantage

1273
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. He was there in the shade, while

1274
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: the other teams in the sun.

1275
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 4: Even if they didn't design it that way, they get

1276
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 4: into it. They picked their sideline right.

1277
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 1: So that's the thing. The canopy is chiefly there for

1278
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: the fans to be and rain, right, but the ancillary

1279
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: benefit the sideline for the Dolphins is in the shade

1280
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: much of that time. Once the sun has passed the

1281
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: high point in the sky, the canopy shades the dolphins sideline.

1282
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Whether it was inadvertent or not, they take it full

1283
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 1: advantage of it.

1284
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 4: What do you think is that fair or not fair?

1285
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: It's not fair in September and October. I mean use

1286
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: the player injuries and those It's not pulling out of

1287
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: a game for heat exhaustion as your prime examp.

1288
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 4: It's not the same as the cold weather. It's not

1289
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 4: the same because everybody hits the cold weather. Everybody's playing it,

1290
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 4: and everybody has heated season. They all have that same thing.

1291
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 2: There's a forty degree difference.

1292
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 3: The problem is, yeah, it's different. It's different because of

1293
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 3: the sunshine and the sun patterns and there, and they

1294
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 3: have shade over their bench and the Bills are not

1295
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 3: allowed to have it.

1296
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones. Justin in Depew has

1297
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: a thought, what do you got for us?

1298
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 14: Justin, Hey, guys, my big thing is the first flourid

1299
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 14: to six weeks of the season. I want to avoid

1300
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 14: playing the Chiefs, the Bangles, and the Eagles until we

1301
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 14: can get von Miller back and going and healthy. Last year,

1302
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 14: I know that Baltimore game and that Chiefs game early

1303
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 14: in the year, I don't think we win that game

1304
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 14: without von Miller's pressure off the ads.

1305
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 15: And I'm really worried with our defensive vent that we're

1306
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 15: not going to get the pressure on the quarterback right

1307
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 15: away to start the year until Bok comes back. So

1308
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 15: my big thing is, you know, those tougher games with

1309
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 15: those better quarterbacks away, I prefer them later in the year.

1310
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:01,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point, Justin.

1311
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought of that, the von Miller recovery timeline.

1312
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 2: You'd prefer to.

1313
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: You prefer to have Von in the lineup when you're

1314
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: playing Patrick Mahomes and you're playing Joe Burrow.

1315
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 3: The margin for the good teams versus the bad teams

1316
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 3: in the NFL so thin. A guy like von Miller

1317
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 3: can tilt that can make it tilt in your favor

1318
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 3: instead of out of your favor. So you could beat

1319
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 3: a team like Cincinnati or Philly or Miami or whoever.

1320
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 3: You can beat a team like that if you got

1321
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 3: Vn in the lineup and not be so and not

1322
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 3: beat him without him. That's how razor thin the margins are. Yeah,

1323
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's a good point. When Vaughn's gonna

1324
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 3: be ready, though, I mean, who knows. Who knows when

1325
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 3: that's gonna be And who knows too if it doesn't

1326
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 3: happen like it did last year, where Vaughn's the least

1327
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 3: of your problems and it's like and it's it turns

1328
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 3: out to be my and Jordan and Steph Diggs are out,

1329
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, then what do you do? So

1330
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 3: it's not as much about Vaughn as it is about

1331
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 3: the other great players you've got, So all of that

1332
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 3: is on the table. And but you're right in that

1333
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 3: case to me and Vaughn, notwithstanding, you want to you

1334
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 3: want to play those good teams early in the season

1335
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 3: because you're one hundred percent health, you're closer to.

1336
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: It, right, And I think he's right. I mean, Vaughn

1337
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: made a huge difference at the end of that Chiefs game.

1338
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: Huge difference, and he did not play in either of

1339
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: the games against Cincinnati last year.

1340
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 2: He was already lost for the season.

1341
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 4: Right, and neither did Dea Kwon Jones and Jordan Phillips

1342
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 4: in that last game. Jordan, I think.

1343
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: Jordan's in, But yeah, I think it's I think it's

1344
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: a good point. We did hear Brandon Bean in a

1345
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: national interview recently indicate that von Miller is on a

1346
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: very good track to return, and Brandon Bean has gone

1347
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: on record saying he would anticipate having him for most

1348
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: of the season. But your point is well taken. Justin

1349
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: you can move those games further back in the schedule

1350
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: where you know you'll have on in the lineup. That

1351
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: could be a huge difference maker for sure. So a

1352
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: good a good call there. Eight h three zero five

1353
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 1: fifty If you want to get on board one eight

1354
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five point fifty. What's one

1355
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: scheduling spot you'd like the Bills.

1356
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 2: To avoid this fall?

1357
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: I had this one, Steve no Thursday night game off

1358
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: a Sunday game against a division opponent. I don't want

1359
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: to go on short rest and play on a Thursday

1360
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, Patriots or the Jets.

1361
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 2: The division games are too important.

1362
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 1: No one should have to play a division opponent four

1363
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: days removed from a Sunday game. They're just too important

1364
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: to stick a team there. And I realize you say, wow,

1365
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 1: both division teams are playing. Yeah, but now those two

1366
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 1: division teams are at a disadvantage. And I mean, think

1367
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: about the AFC East. I think it's wide expected to

1368
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: be a tight race. And now you make let's just say, hypothetically,

1369
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 1: you make the Dolphins and Bills play one another on

1370
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: a Thursday night after they both played the previous Sunday.

1371
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 1: Both teams are at a disadvantage from a rest perspective,

1372
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: a competitive perspective.

1373
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 4: I think on short rest, I.

1374
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 3: Think it's way more not way, but significantly more impactful

1375
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 3: and detrimental to the team that has to travel. For instance,

1376
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 3: the Bills going down to Miami, because one of the day,

1377
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 3: the four days you're.

1378
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 4: Traveling, you're traveling and you can't get stuff done.

1379
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: You're doing walkthroughs that whole week.

1380
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 3: At the most, right, Miami still has a chance to

1381
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 3: get a full day's restaurant if the game's there. If

1382
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 3: it's up here, you know, late the year, and they're

1383
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,599
Speaker 3: on a short week, and how about that, how about

1384
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 3: worshi ed a short week and the other team doesn't

1385
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 3: have a short week.

1386
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: Well that's yeah, that's the other component too, And that

1387
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,719
Speaker 1: happened to the Bills back in twenty fourteen. They had

1388
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: a league leading six games on short rest. Two of

1389
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: those games, well, they had one game on a Thursday

1390
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: night and the team they were playing was coming off

1391
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: a bye so they had like ten days of rest

1392
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: and the Bills had four and they were playing each other.

1393
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 2: I mean, that's insane.

1394
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's a huge numb in these days.

1395
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 1: And to the NFL schedule makers credit, they've done a

1396
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:25,040
Speaker 1: lot to correct a lot of those things in recent years.

1397
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: They are tons better at avoiding those very scenarios. But

1398
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: I really don't want to see the Bills with a

1399
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 1: division game on a Thursday coming off playing on a Sunday.

1400
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 12: Right.

1401
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 4: It's the same thing we've been talking too.

1402
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:37,799
Speaker 2: Important.

1403
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 3: The bye week and short weeks and good rest and

1404
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 3: all that are gold late in the season. That's why

1405
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 3: everybody wants a bye week at the end of the

1406
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 3: year for the playoffs.

1407
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 4: That's what you know.

1408
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 3: It's just it's a it's a gift so the later

1409
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 3: you can push your buy, the better, and the fewer

1410
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 3: games you play on short rest the better.

1411
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 4: It's it's huge, it's huge. And yeah, you're right, Brownie,

1412
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 4: you were. I remember. I remember too, you were.

1413
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 3: You were on it back in twenty fourteen. When that

1414
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 3: came out, you started going back and looking. It's like,

1415
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, everybody's coming off the buy against us. Yeah,

1416
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 3: and we got all the bad and we got short rest.

1417
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: I think the only other team that came close to

1418
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:27,639
Speaker 1: the Bills league leading six games on short rest, six

1419
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:28,360
Speaker 1: out of sixteen.

1420
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 2: I mean, think about that game.

1421
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:33,760
Speaker 1: The only team that came close was Atlanta. They had

1422
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 1: four games on short rest or shorter rest than their opponent.

1423
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: It makes a difference, I'm sorry. Is it a gigantic difference? No,

1424
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: But you get late in the season when recovery time

1425
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: is of paramount important.

1426
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you get guys bodies are beat up.

1427
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 3: You got guys who can't play on They could play

1428
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 3: on a Sunday, they can't play on the Thursday, you know,

1429
01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:59,639
Speaker 3: or they played on the Sunday, they can't get ready

1430
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 3: for the But they can't get ready for the Thursday

1431
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 3: because they played on the sidery got a nick you know,

1432
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 3: and vice you know, all that stuff. It makes a

1433
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 3: big difference depending on which players that is.

1434
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and more often than not now in recent years,

1435
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 1: because I have gone back and look just to check

1436
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: and see, like you know, is the league kind of

1437
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 1: a lot better at this which they have been. To

1438
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 1: their credit, Harold Katz and his staff do a great

1439
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: job with the schedule now and they've taken a lot

1440
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: of those idiosyncrasies out of the scheduling. There's rarely a

1441
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: team that has more than one or two games on

1442
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: short rest in comparison to their opponents. And I think

1443
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: more often than not they avoid division matchups on Thursday

1444
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:44,640
Speaker 1: night games, knowing how important the division games are, you know,

1445
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: they count one and a half. A lot of players

1446
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: and coaches will tell you so putting them on short

1447
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: rest in a game of that magnitude, I think does

1448
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 1: it disservice to the to the playoff races that exist

1449
01:11:56,080 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: in divisions where things are tight. So give every boddy

1450
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 1: the best opportunity to succeed in a division race and

1451
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:06,240
Speaker 1: keep them out of the Thursday night games entirely the division.

1452
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 4: It's hard, man, It's hard to get it done. Yeah,

1453
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's easy, but but you know that's

1454
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:13,759
Speaker 4: your only job.

1455
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we got and you've got computer algorithms out

1456
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:23,640
Speaker 1: the wazoo to help you too. I mean there there

1457
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: are ways around it, and it got artificial intelligence helping you.

1458
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 4: Now doing that form?

1459
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: What is the AI think artificial intelligence? Yeah, the Oh

1460
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: there's there's another acronym.

1461
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 3: The one that does all your emails for you, can

1462
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 3: write college papers for you.

1463
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's yeah, but it's artificial intelligence.

1464
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 2: That is the software built into that.

1465
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty soon we can just not use our brains anymore.

1466
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 4: You there, fix the NFL Schedule Chat GPT.

1467
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: I think there you go what Jeff Coltenek is telling

1468
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: us it is, so I'll take his word for it

1469
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: because I'm not one hundred percent sure. Uh, we have

1470
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: to take a break here, more of your phone calls

1471
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: when we return. What is one scheduling spot you'd like

1472
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 1: to see the bills avoid this fall. We'll also crack

1473
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 1: open the tweet sheet, see what you have on there

1474
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: for us? What game, what date, what time? What venue?

1475
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: On primetime would you like to avoid? I know I

1476
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: don't want to be an arrowhead on Monday.

1477
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 2: Night may have some others We'll see next here on

1478
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,680
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live. All right, here we.

1479
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 1: Are One Bill's Live on a Wednesday, Chris Brown, Steve

1480
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 1: Tamster with you, talking Bill's schedule and the one schedule

1481
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: spot you'd prefer the Bills avoid this season. Let's go

1482
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:36,760
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet, which is brought to you by

1483
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,600
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

1484
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and leading us off as Jeff There who says,

1485
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't want an early bye week and no Thanksgiving game,

1486
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: thankfully not playing the Black Friday game. That's correct, that

1487
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: will be Dolphin's Jets on Black Friday at three pm kickoff.

1488
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: No early bye week, he wants a late by week

1489
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: as well, and no Thanksgiving game, which has been a

1490
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 1: popular request. No Thanksgiving. Three of the last four years

1491
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 1: Bills have played on Thanksgiving. David on the tweet sheet

1492
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 1: says no Thanksgiving since it seems to result in turf

1493
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:19,520
Speaker 1: games with devastating season ending injuries, obviously referring to Tredevius

1494
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,799
Speaker 1: White in twenty twenty one and Von Miller in twenty

1495
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 1: twenty two. Urbf Girl Dad says no Thanksgiving at one

1496
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,480
Speaker 1: or four pm. This is clearly a meal time conflict.

1497
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 2: He's fine with.

1498
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: He's fine with the eight pm Thanksgiving game after everything's done,

1499
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: but not don't interrupt dinner. No one pm or four

1500
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 1: pm game please on Thanksgiving?

1501
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 4: Right?

1502
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 2: Which is I mean, that's the example.

1503
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: David doesn't want injuries on Thanksgiving because of the history,

1504
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: so he's concerned about the team. RBF girl Dad is

1505
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: strictly considered a concern with the meal. So there's your

1506
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: s heelish person as a post to the strategic person

1507
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: that you were talking.

1508
01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 4: About's right, I get it.

1509
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 3: I'm I don't know how much recency bias has to

1510
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 3: do with any of this, because everybody's always worried about,

1511
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 3: you know, where they were last Thanksgiving, how it went

1512
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:15,600
Speaker 3: right or how it went wrong, Christmas and all of that.

1513
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 3: Christmas is falling on a Monday this year, whenever, as

1514
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 3: soon as it gets to the point where it's where

1515
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 3: it's on a you know, Christmas on a Sunday, Christmas

1516
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 3: on a Saturday, Christmas on a Friday, Christmas on a Thursday,

1517
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 3: with the Thursday games or you know, Thanksgiving holidays, you

1518
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:31,800
Speaker 3: always have to deal with it, and everybody always has

1519
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 3: that last instance of the holiday falling on the game

1520
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 3: or the Bills game falling on the holiday.

1521
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 4: Rather, they got that to deal with.

1522
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 3: And as long as you get out ahead of it,

1523
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 3: I think it's okay. But you're right. The team when

1524
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 3: it's playing like that, with the way it has over

1525
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 3: the past five years, you've got to put it at

1526
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:54,719
Speaker 3: a certain priority if you're gonna in your fanship and family.

1527
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 4: Most of us have family. That's the same way, right,

1528
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 4: I mean you you know your family is like, yeah,

1529
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 4: we got to watch the Bills game. There are some instances.

1530
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 3: Where our our friend who was she from from Brooklyn,

1531
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 3: Veronica from brook Brooklyn. It's a friends giving in Brooklyn.

1532
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 3: Ain't nobody there Bill's fan except her except her.

1533
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,720
Speaker 4: That's a problem. That's a problem.

1534
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 2: People are rolling their eyes at you, like.

1535
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 4: What are you talking about? No, we're no, we're not

1536
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 4: turning the TV on. What's Thanksgiving?

1537
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 1: Colin b on the tweet sheet says, no Miami at

1538
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,680
Speaker 1: one pm. And in September, we've addressed that today on

1539
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: the show multiple times, so we know what he's getting at.

1540
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 1: CJ on the tweet sheet says, any team that plays

1541
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 1: in London should be left out of any Thursday games. Also,

1542
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 1: Thursday games should not exist. So he's got he's got

1543
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: a bias against Thursday games to begin with.

1544
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 2: But what do you think about that?

1545
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: If you play an overseas game, you are not a

1546
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:01,799
Speaker 1: consideration for a Thursday night game the same season.

1547
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:06,520
Speaker 2: What do you think of that? It's a weird concept.

1548
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but CJ thinks, well, if you're

1549
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:11,799
Speaker 1: traveling so far that you got to go to London

1550
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: to play a game, you shouldn't have to play on

1551
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: short rest on a Thursday night.

1552
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 4: It's points far from the Jets to go to La

1553
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 4: as it is from the Jets to go to London, right.

1554
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:25,000
Speaker 2: Air Miles was spelled out by Steve.

1555
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 3: What's the difference. I mean it might be a little

1556
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 3: bit different, but not that much. Miami to Seattle. Yeah,

1557
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 3: I mean, now you got something. You're saying something. You're

1558
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 3: going from LA to London. I get that, but yeah,

1559
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 3: you just got to you gotta live with it. That's

1560
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 3: the way we're We live on a small planet these days,

1561
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 3: and this Thursday night game shouldn't exist.

1562
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 1: There's no putting that toothpaste back in the tube.

1563
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 4: My thought is this.

1564
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,640
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty, we had games every night of the

1565
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 3: week at some point because Thursdaysdays, Fridays, Sundays, I think

1566
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:12,720
Speaker 3: six six of the seven days of the week we

1567
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:13,479
Speaker 3: had a game on And.

1568
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 2: This year you're gonna have one on a Friday, Black Friday.

1569
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm kind of done with I get it.

1570
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,640
Speaker 3: Four days is about the minimum without some with and

1571
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,560
Speaker 3: you gotta have and you gotta have rest on but

1572
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 3: one or the other end of it, right, So I

1573
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 3: get that. But the league does that they give these

1574
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 3: teams some time off after these Thursday games. They get

1575
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 3: an extra three days after the game they play on

1576
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 3: the next Sunday. So I'm Thursday games are fine with me.

1577
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 3: We've proven that Tuesday games can even be pulled off, So.

1578
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,599
Speaker 4: I'm kind of and I and I used to play,

1579
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 4: so I'm okay with it. Maybe I'm a crotchety old man,

1580
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,919
Speaker 4: but I'm.

1581
01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 1: I know you're not getting rid of Thursday night games.

1582
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: You're not put that toothpaste back in the tip. As

1583
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: far as I'm let me just say this, as well

1584
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: as it's profitable and it draws ratings and the networks

1585
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 1: are happy, it's not going anywhere.

1586
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,759
Speaker 3: High school football is the only thing that keeps NFL

1587
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 3: games from being on Friday night. College football is the

1588
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 3: only thing that keeps from being from being played on Saturday.

1589
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 2: And then once the college season is over, the games

1590
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 2: are on set.

1591
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 3: That's right, they move them immediately, so, you know, high

1592
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 3: school football. Maybe they'll keep Friday night sacrasanct whatever that means,

1593
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 3: but yes they will. The only thing keeping it from

1594
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:36,439
Speaker 3: happening is other things in the way.

1595
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: Dynasty Djen on the tweets sheet says, I need week

1596
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: three at home. Here's the wish list, right, It's right,

1597
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 1: week three at home and a non December game against

1598
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: the Chargers in Kelly. Otherwise I'm set.

1599
01:19:53,479 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 3: Hey NFL in lac Okay, all right. I love it

1600
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 3: when people say here's what I need, and like for me,

1601
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:04,639
Speaker 3: I got, I.

1602

01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,879
Speaker 2: Or give me the most nondescript matchup we've.

1604
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 4: Got give me. The Commanders keep coming back to the

1605
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 4: Commanders that they're the only one man. Who else am

1606

Speaker 2: Raiders?

01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know raiders, Maybe you know?

1609
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 1: So, Yeah, there aren't There aren't really any cupcakes here.

1610
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 4: No we got, we got a tough one.

1611
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 3: Tampa's got the AFC West and the NFC East. Yeah

1612
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 3: it's rough, along with Kansas City and Cincinnati.

1613
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:39,639
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay.

1614
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 2: All right, I'll take Tampa Bay.

1615
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 4: Give me Tampa Bay.

1616
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: We don't have a quarterback answer, you know right now

1617
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 1: it's Baker Mayfield and yeah, you know.

1618
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 3: Do you want and here's this too, and I get

1619
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 3: the stay away? Do you want to stay away from

1620
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 3: the really good teams early? Do you want to play

1621
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 3: with all your guys roster and everybody's healthy, or do

1622
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 3: you want to like take give me the Tampa Bay.

1623
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 3: Give me open up the season with Tampa Bay Buccaneers

1624
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 3: with the Washington Commanders followed by the Las Vegas Raiders

1625
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 3: or in reverse order, you know, give it to you

1626
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 3: like that. Do you want to start it out like that?

1627
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,040
Speaker 3: Or you want to stay away from those teams and

1628
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:17,680
Speaker 3: sprinkle them in.

1629
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 1: I probably want to sprinkle them in. I certainly don't

1630
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: want them back to back? Why not Kansas City and Cincinnati?

1631
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 3: Not Kansas You're talking about talking about Washington and Tampa Bay.

1632
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 2: And if you have those back to.

1633
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:34,760
Speaker 1: Teams back to back two on the backhanding schedule I'd

1634
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 1: rather spread out the challenging games, yeah, instead of having

1635
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 1: a gauntlet, because that's just that's a tough road. Now.

1636
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't know, though, I don't. It seems

1637
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 4: like that when you look at it from the ten

1638
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 4: thousand feet. But every week is just in every week.

1639
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 4: I mean, you're getting ready to play.

1640
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 2: It's a week to week league.

1641
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 3: Say it is a week to week league. It's true,

1642
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 3: and you don't really You've heard Sean McDermott and I've

1643
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 3: experienced it. Every week is the same man. You treat,

1644
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 3: you treat We don't. But they treat Tampa Bay and

1645
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:10,240
Speaker 3: Washington the exact same way they treat Kansas City and Cincinnati.

1646
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 3: They're grinding for those teams, for the Commanders, for the

1647
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for the New Orleans Saints, for the Raiders, anybody.

1648
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. You're grinding it. So it's not like

1649
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 3: the game is more important than your mind. It's not

1650
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 3: so for us out here. We're like going, eh, we're

1651
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 3: throwing darts at those guys, right, I'm like commanders. This

1652
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 3: commander's at right right.

1653
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 4: The players and tea and coaches are not. No, So

1654
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,640
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter to them what order it is. But

1655
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 4: it does matter if you got four days rest or

1656
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 4: ten or fourteen. It matters a lot. That's the only

1657
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 4: thing for them.

1658
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 3: And plus and now we're talking about the Miami you know,

1659
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 3: playing on the face of the sun down there or

1660
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 3: playing up here in you know, December thirty first and

1661
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 3: three feet of snow. There's you know that may that matters,

1662
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 3: but you don't know that until you get there.

1663
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 1: Let's jump back to the phones, Tom and Hamburg is

1664
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 1: waiting there.

1665
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 2: What do you got first? Tom, you're all want Bill's live.

1666
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:17,639
Speaker 6: Hey, guys. In terms of like wishes, I hope that

1667
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:22,639
Speaker 6: the Bills play Kansas City and Cincinnati after week eight

1668
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 6: so that von Miller is back, hopefully in full speed

1669
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 6: he can get his legs back underneath him.

1670
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:30,719
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1671
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 6: And I also was just wondering, guys, I always wonder

1672
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 6: about this, seeing what your thoughts are. Why not have

1673
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:40,639
Speaker 6: these Thursday games on Friday nights instead of Thursday nights?

1674
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:44,679
Speaker 4: Yes, Steve, because it's because of high school football.

1675
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 3: They don't want that generation of football players and families

1676
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 3: and towns around the country to be intention by going

1677
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 3: to see their young men and their family members play football.

1678
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 3: Rather than sit home watching NFL.

1679
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 2: They don't want to.

1680
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 3: They don't want to high school football. That is the

1681
01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 3: That is what I've been told is the absolute reason

1682
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 3: they don't have them on Friday night. Otherwise Thursday night

1683
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 3: football would be Friday night football.

1684
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 2: Now.

1685
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: The reason they're allowing the Black Friday game, Tom is

1686
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: because you're already past Thanksgiving and most high school football

1687
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:21,679
Speaker 1: seasons are over. That's right, So you're not really interfering there,

1688
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 1: and that's why they entertained it.

1689
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 4: But and there's no college games on right.

1690
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 1: The main reason though, that they don't play on Friday

1691
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,799
Speaker 1: nights is to not trample all over high school football.

1692
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:34,639
Speaker 2: And I'll say this point to them, to not do that.

1693
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 3: All the people around the country. You may not know

1694
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 3: any and there may it may not be a deal

1695
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 3: where you're at, where you're from. There's a ton of

1696
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 3: people out and about watching high school football, and they

1697
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 3: will not be home.

1698
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 2: To watch it on TV, NFL football.

1699
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:51,599
Speaker 4: NFL football.

1700
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 3: They're watching live football with their kids playing, or their

1701
01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 3: brothers and sisters and whatever. High school football is big,

1702
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:04,720
Speaker 3: and I think you'd see it. You think you'd see

1703
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 3: the numbers take a hit, and certainly CBS, Fox, IN

1704
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 3: and NBC and ESPN and Amazon. Nobody wants any piece,

1705
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 3: any piece of a an NFL game that gets bad numbers.

1706
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:22,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. Back on the tweet sheet, Alan says, I don't

1707
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 1: want Monday, November twenty seven, especially a home game. It

1708
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 1: will be exhausting to try and last through that Monday

1709
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 1: after a big holiday weekend. So he's thinking, I'm off.

1710
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 1: My last day at work is Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Then

1711
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:42,840
Speaker 1: I got Thanksgiving three NFL games, I got Friday Black

1712
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 1: Friday game, and then I have Sunday, the full NFL slate,

1713
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 1: and my team's playing on Monday night after Thanksgiving.

1714
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna make it.

1715
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 4: That's good point.

1716
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:53,559
Speaker 3: That's a lot of football sounds like before year. It

1717
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 3: sounds like a grind of a fun right.

1718
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: That's a rough week the couch.

1719
01:25:58,960 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's bay.

1720
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you think about it.

1721
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:03,759
Speaker 2: That's first world problems.

1722
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 4: It is that is enormously united. That is an American

1723
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:07,720
Speaker 4: problem right there.

1724
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 2: If that isn't I can't make it to Monday.

1725
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 4: I mean I'll have to do a beer run on

Speaker 2: That's funny, that's like that.

1730
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 4: That's that makes me, That makes me feel full just

01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 3: We're never We're just we never get primetime game. We're

1744
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 3: just a Sunday at one o'clock team. That's all we are.

1745
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:16,600
Speaker 4: Then it's like, hey, we own Primetime.

01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:27,240
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving games, you know.

1750
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:29,680
Speaker 3: And then when the schedule comes out, here's what We're

1751
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 3: all going to be how can they get more primetime

1752
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:32,880
Speaker 3: games than we do?

1753
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 4: What's up with that?

1754
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 1: I think they'll still get a hand full of them.

1755
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about that.

1756
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:38,599
Speaker 4: We're gonna go.

1757
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 3: It's amazing the roller coaster we've ridden with this team.

1758
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 3: You know, like we couldn't we couldn't buy a primetime

1759
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:45,759
Speaker 3: game for fifteen years.

1760
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:46,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1761
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 1: J Maad on the tweets sheet says, I wish that

1762
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,280
Speaker 1: it was this game against the Jags, as it's looking

1763
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,719
Speaker 1: like we'll be the second game they play in London,

1764
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 1: so they get used to the time change and get

1765
01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 1: to practice there while we're in the US. Then the

1766
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,519
Speaker 1: bye will be the following week. Well, not necessarily, as

1767
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:05,080
Speaker 1: we explained earlier, but yeah, there's another Bills fan that's

1768
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 1: concerned about the Jags being there for two straight weeks

1769
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:11,320
Speaker 1: and not well deal with the time change.

1770
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 4: I get it. It's a long flight and it's a

1771
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:15,320
Speaker 4: time change.

1772
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 3: Five time zones we're talking right, it's four from the

1773
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 3: west coast to the to Buffalo or to the East coast.

1774
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:27,840
Speaker 3: There's nothing that says the Jaguars are going to get

1775
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 3: an advantage by being there for two weeks.

1776
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 4: Because they go over there a week before.

1777
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 2: They're not sleeping in their own beds.

1778
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 4: That's right.

1779
01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 3: And you know, like we said, their families aren't going

1780
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 3: to They may, but that's gonna be huge upheaval.

1781
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 4: It may not go well for them. It may, but

1782
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:42,080
Speaker 4: it may not.

1783
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 2: Well, they do it every year.

1784
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 4: So they don't go for two games in a row

1785
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 4: for two games.

1786
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:49,040
Speaker 2: This is the first time that's happening. So who knows.

1787
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 2: Maybe uh, maybe England will wear on them a little bit.

1788
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 3: Maybe the bills will be the reason they never do

1789
01:28:57,479 --> 01:28:57,960
Speaker 3: that again.

1790
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's hope schedule is out tomorrow. Can any of

1791
