00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: These one. Bill's Live presented by Kalida Help.

2
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Bill's Fans, we are coming you live from

3
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: the Northwest Bank Broadcast Booth here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And

4
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: Often Cook can it bounced it outside, avoids one tackler,

5
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: but then fumbled the ball and it's still loose and

6
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: the Steelers habits James Cook fumbled the ball, tried to

7
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: hop on it, it bounced away and.

8
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: It's the second takeaway of the game for this Steelers.

9
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: Here's the snap handoff right up the.

10
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: Middle and he sails into the end zone for a

11
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: one yard touchdown. Run snap hole down kick by Prader

12
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: is up and it is good. So with fifty one

13
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: seconds left in the half, the Bills are finally on

14
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 2: the board.

15
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 3: It's seven to three.

16
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: Steelers. Play action Rogers darting pressure in the pocket. He

17
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: stacked and he fubbled. It's scooped up by Bedford and

18
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: he races to the end zone for the touchdown, showing

19
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: Bosa with his team record fifth forced fuffle of the season.

20
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: Back to pass his Rudolph looking left and it's intercepted,

21
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: picked off by Bedford. It was intended for Darnell Washington

22
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: he overshot the six to seven tight end and Bedford

23
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: has his second takeaway in the game.

24
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: There's another handoff for Cook through a hole on a

25
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: nice lead block.

26
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: First out in More twenty fifteen ten carrying defenders inside

27
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: the ten to the six yard line.

28
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: First in gold Buffalo. Alan fires into the end zone Dick.

29
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman for the one yard touchdown reception.

30
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: Here's the snap.

31
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: Alan gonna keep it, gonna look to bust it outside,

32
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: lowers the shoulder, the serge pushing him forward progress.

33
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: He's it for the touchdown. The base has been released.

34
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: Hand off to Kanewell bottled up with the line.

35
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: Of scrimmage and he stopped for a turnover on.

36
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: Downs by Buffalo.

37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: The Bills will get a much needed victory and improved

38
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: to eight and four on the season. Game Rewind is

00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: seven in Pittsburgh, where they all ready to wipe out

43
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: the whole operation. Holy Steelers Nation is burning.

44
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: It looked who yesterday, it looked like a total tear

45
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: down for Pittsburgh. Their defense looked old, unathletic and disinterested,

46
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 4: particularly after the two quick turnovers right after halftime. Their

47
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: body language and their their energy just left and by

48
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 4: the end of the game they are just trying to

49
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: get out of there. That's not something you look that

50
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: looks good at a home game.

51
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 2: Steelers got bludgeoned yesterday. They got beat up, got bludgeoned.

52
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: And I said this on postgame last night as well.

53
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: If this Pittsburgh Steelers team can't look at least look

54
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: better than that against this version of the Buffalo Bills

55
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: with two backup tackles, no middle linebacker, no tight end,

56
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: no Palmer, no Joshua Palmer. If you can't look better

57
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: than that against this roster, beat up, decimated by injury

58
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: on their front.

59
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're you're in trouble. You're struggling, and the Steelers are.

60
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: This is a bad Monday in Pittsburgh and it should.

61
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: Be and it might be the end of the line

62
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: for Mike Tomlin. They don't fire coaches. I don't think

63
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: they fired running over fifty years. The last guy to

64
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: fire him was the grandfather of the now owner. They

65
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: don't do that.

66
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: There.

67
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Buffalo runs for two hundred and forty nine

68
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: yards on the ground, the most ever against the Steelers

69
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: in Akrosher Stadium. The two hundred forty nine rushing yards

70
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: most ever surrendered by the Steelers since nineteen seventy five

71
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: of fifty year span, and the team that ran for

72
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: more against the Steelers in nineteen seventy five were the

73
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. O. J. Simpson and the Electric Company ran

74
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: for three hundred and ten yards in Week two. Back

75
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: in the nineteen seventy five season, James Cook had his

76
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: league leading seventh one hundred yard rushing day of the

77
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: season with one hundred forty four yards on a season

78
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: high thirty two carries. He also led the team in

79
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: receiving with three receptions for thirty three yards for one

80
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy seven total scrimmage yards. Yesterday, he now

81
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: trails Coach's running back Jonathan Taylor by one hundred and

82
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: thirteen yards for the league lead in rushing. Cook has

83
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: twelve hundred and twenty eight rushing yards on the season.

84
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: And I know there's a good chance that the receiving corps,

85
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: including Dalton Kidcaid, gets healthy by season's end maybe sooner.

86
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: This is your identity going forward, running the ball and

87
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: wait till your receiving corps gets healthy and then maybe

88
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: you can diversify a little bit. But run the damn ball.

89
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what you guys.

90
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: And we saw this too, and I want to get

91
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 4: your take on this. Brownie James Cook, Ty Johnson the

92
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 4: backfield together on a number of snaps. I think that

93
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 4: was a pretty good wrinkle.

94
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they gave it to Ty Johnson on a full

95
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: back dive for a first fourth and one. Yeah, that

96
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: was nice. It was a good play. And you gotta

97
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: take your hat off to the offensive line, including Ryan

98
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: Vandermark and Alec Anderson. But the tight ends and the

99
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: run and the receivers they bought in, They blocked their

100
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: bahookies off, they bought in. They got all total buying

101
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: from the guys across the front. Once it started going good,

102
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: you know, it kind of helps. But even from the

103
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: get go, I'm watching Tyrell Shavers on JJ Watt on

104
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: the backside working his tail off to block a former

105
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year. Those receivers and tight ends

106
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: brought it as well. So the job by everybody, and

107
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: you think about it too. The wide receivers and.

108
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: Cooks, Coleman, Shakir Davis, Shavers, Shavers combined, they only had

109
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 4: five receptions out of the fifteen completed passes of the team.

110
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: Through the running backs and tight ends had ten of

111
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 4: the fifteen completions. It was going to other places, and

112
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 4: yet Shavers, Davis, Coleman, they were out there blocking. They

113
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: bought in and they didn't care. And it says something

114
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: about the culture. And I was gonna say this, I

115
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 4: don't know if it's true or not on it. It's

116
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 4: kind of a culture win, you know what I mean?

117
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: Well, you just had you were gonna limit it and

118
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: what you were gonna be able to do offensively because

119
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: who was in the lineup and who wasn't and the

120
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: Bills had to adjust. And you know, I know Joe

121
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: Brady has come under fire from the fan base this season,

122
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: but he essentially called two running plays the entire game

123
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: because the Steelers did not prove they could consistently stop it.

124
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna say this, I was completely stupefied

125
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: by the defensive game plan of the Steelers. They never adjusted.

126
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: They saw two running plays for the majority of that game.

127
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: Couldn't get it. They never adjusted. Why aren't you putting

128
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: nine in the box? What do you what are you

129
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: doing put ten in the box? If they did, I

130
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: stare them do that early on in the game. That

131
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: threw nine in the box and they got let nice

132
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: little tackle for loss, but they didn't stick with it,

133
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: like you've got to stop what they're running. Joe Brady

134
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: deserves some credit. So you got this highest paid defensive

135
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: player in the league maybe and TJ. Watt. They ran

136
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: right at him. Run Bruce all the time.

137
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 4: He just run right at him. Man, just just don't

138
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 4: give him. Don't give him the fun part of his job.

139
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: He can't rush the passer because they're gonna run right

140
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: and he's got to bear up and do the the

141
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 4: cruddy part of being a defensive end. You got to

142
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: bear up and set the edge. They made him do

143
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 4: that all day. It's no fun. And man, just you

144
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: could tell after the quick turnovers after halftime, the Steelers

145
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 4: just the life was sucked out of them, and Joe

146
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 4: Brady and that offensive line just continued to step on it.

147
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 4: And that was It was really good for Bill's fans

148
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: to watch that. And I know too. In weeks past,

149
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 4: everybody kind of criticized Joe for like being more imaginative.

150
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: In this case, this is exactly when you don't want

151
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: to do that. Keep it simple for the young guys

152
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: that are in there. They've got seven starts between Vandermark

153
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: and Alec Anderson. Just keep it simple and turn them loose.

154
00:08:58,960 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: And that's what happened.

155
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 4: It was the right move, and kudos to Brady for

156
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: sticking with it.

157
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: And congrats to Joe Brady and his wife Lauren, who

158
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: had a baby girl on game day yesterday.

159
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 4: Think about that for a hot minute. Joe's and Pittsburgh.

160
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: He wasn't there.

161
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: No, So when we landed last night at about ten thirty,

162
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: ten forty five back from the game in Pittsburgh, the

163
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: flight attendant got on the PA system on the plane

164
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: and said, when we finish our taxi, if we could

165
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 2: all remain seated to let Joe Brady get off the

166
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: plane first, it would be appreciated, so he can get

167
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: in his car and go to the hospital. Yeah.

168
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 4: That's uh, that's the extra mile.

169
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 2: After after the Bills win. Joe Brady on his Twitter

Speaker 2: their second Warren, kudos to you. You're a heroic as well,

174
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: turning your husband loose to go Cole plays. Yeah, it's

175
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: think you get a game ball for that. Absolutely, and

Speaker 2: family on baby number two. A boy and a girl.

178
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 2: That's that's the best. And that's.

179
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. They say, you know sometimes when they say, hey,

180
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: you guys sacrifice so much for the this is kind

181
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: of what they're talking about. Yeah, that's congratulations to both

182
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: of them, and I'm glad they got the got.

183
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: The w Josh Allen, with a rushing touchdown, became the

184
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: all time leader in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, passing

185
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 2: Cam Newton with his seventy six. That was the eight

186
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. His eleventh rushing

187
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: touchdown of the season. Also posted the forty ninth game

188
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: of his career with one passing and one rushing touchdown.

189
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: That's the most in NFL history as well. Do we

190
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: need to remind ourselves this guy isn't at the end

191
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: of his career. These NFL records, he's probably at the

192
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 2: midway point of his career breaking NFL all time records.

193
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 2: It's pretty stupid.

194
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 4: There's a list going on and Bill's pr has it

195
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 4: and it was like the first quarterback in NFL history

196
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 4: to do a first quarterback in NFL history to do b.

197
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: And they're all the way down to like, you know, Jkhnel, well,

198
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: you know. He also reached thirty total touchdowns on the season,

199
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: marking the sixth straight season in which he is totaled

200
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: at least thirty touchdowns. That moved him past Aaron Rodgers

201
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: and Hall of famers Brett Favre and Peyton Manning, who

202
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: each did it in five consecutive seasons. Josh has now

203
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: done it in six, which is the second longest string

204
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: of thirty touchdown seasons. He now trails only Drew Brees,

205
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: who had nine consecutive seasons of at least thirty touchdowns

206
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: or more. Christian Benford had a fumble return for a

207
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 2: touchdown off the stripsack by Joey Bosa and an interception

208
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: in the game. The forced fumble by Joey Bosa was

209
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 2: his of the season, tying a single season team record.

210
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: Bosa did leave the game though, in the second half

211
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: with a hamstring injury, so we'll have to find out

212
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: about the severity of that when coach McDermott addresses the

213
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: media later this afternoon. Keon Coleman, back from the dead,

214
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: had a touchdown reception in his return to the.

215
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 4: Lineup and his cast getting caught a touchdown.

216
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: Let's go out and he's now tied.

217
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna throw this out there. This guy missed

218
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: the last two games as a healthy inactive He is

219
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: now tied for the team lead with Dalton Kincaid with

220
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: four receiving touchdowns on the season. Just putting it out there.

221
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: Seven points scored for the Steelers is their fewest since

222
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: Week four of the twenty twenty three season, when they

223
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: were at Houston and managed just six points. So with that,

224
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: let's take a look at the AFC standings and find

225
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: out who is raising the roof presented by Stellar Roofing

226
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: when quality counts choose Stellar Roofing, and atop the conference

227
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: remains New England and Denver, who joined them at ten

228
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: and two by virtue of their overtime win over the

229
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders last night. The Commanders score a touchdown pull

230
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: to within one, and head coach Dan Quinn elects to

231
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: go for the victory instead of the tie. The two

232
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: point conversion fails as Nick Benito bats the pass out

233
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: of the air, and Denver survives twenty seven to twenty

234
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: six to improve to ten and two on the season. Now,

235
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: New England does play tonight on Monday Night Football before

236
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: thereby they're playing the Giants in New England at Gillette.

237
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: They can improve to eleven and two if they're able

238
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: to beat the Giants, So we'll see what happens there tonight.

239
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 2: But Jacksonville wins. They're atop the AFC South at eight

240
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 2: and four by virtue of tiebreaker over Indy, who lost

241
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 2: to Houston. Houston now seven and five. There is a

242
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: a tight race in the AFC South there not quite

243
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: as tight as the race in the AFC North. Baltimore

244
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: loses on Thanksgiving Night, goes from the four seed to

245
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: the ten seed, as Pittsburgh moves into the four spot

246
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 2: by virtue of tiebreaker because they were six and five.

247
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: And then Pittsburgh loses to Buffalo and they flip flop again.

248
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: They flip flop twice in four days.

249
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: And Pittsburgh goes from the four seed to out of

250
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: the playoffs in the ten spot so or the lining

251
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: spot division leader to out. Yeah, and it is it'll

252
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: continue to flip flop. In the AFC North.

253
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: It's bound and I know, I know Bills fans are

254
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 4: seem to be really disappointed. They're eight and four. Yeah,

255
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 4: they're cruising along, but.

256
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: They didn't gain any ground in the wild card and

257
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: the Bills fans are disappointed in how this season has gone.

258
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: Hasn't looked right, you know, and even the eight wins,

259
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: it just hasn't looked right.

260
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 4: But you look back at where they have been over

261
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: the course of the last six years, right where they've

262
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 4: been except for the six and six.

263
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: Well, they've had a stretch where they've lost three of

264
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: five or three or four each of the last few years,

265
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: and then they usually rally down the stretch. They kind

266
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: of find themselves. Now if you can see it on

267
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: the horizon, if they can get healthy and stay healthy

268
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: through these last five or six weeks of the season,

269
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: things could change and you start to feel better about them.

270
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: But that there's no question that, you know, even this

271
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: win in Pittsburgh said, I think it really it it

272
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: lost Pittsburgh's shine more than it polished the Bills. You

273
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Right, The Pittsburgh Steelers did not

274
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: look good in this game.

275
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: They looked inept on offense. Their defense looked soft and old,

276
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 4: and so the Bills. Even Bills fans aren't given the

277
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: Bills too much credit for going into Pittsburgh and winning

278
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: as tough as it looked like before the game. Now

279
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: it's like, oh, you should have won that. Well, it's

280
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 4: a little different.

281
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: Five. Yeah, they were supremely shorthanded on offense. I mean

282
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: they were four starters in their lineup and they scored

283
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: twenty unanswered and win twenty six to seven. And look,

284
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: you can knock the passing game all you want. The

285
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: passing game was not how you were gonna win yesterday.

286
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: You were gonna win by running the football. And Pittsburgh

287
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: was hoping to do the same exact thing, run the

288
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: ball forty times and hopefully win. They couldn't do it,

289
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: and the Bills could. They leaned on their league leading

290
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: rushing attack and it worked even with two backup tackles.

291
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: So enjoy the win. Yeah, the survive in advance, that

292
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: is the mode you are in now. You are not

293
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: caring about how pretty it looks, how many points you score,

294
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: win the game. That is it bottom line football now,

295
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: because you're in a tight AFC conference race. Just survive

296
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: in advance, win the game, move on to the next week.

297
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: And the Bills totally. I mean, there was a couple

298
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 4: of drives in this game that kind of get by,

299
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 4: but you kind of start to feel it more than

300
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 4: you saw it. Bills had seventy four offensive plays, Steelers

301
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: had forty three, and there were like three drives in

302
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 4: this game that the Bills, I mean just absolutely sucked

303
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: the life out of the game.

304
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 2: Well, time of possession advantage time fifty nine to eighteen

305
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: oh one. The Bills had twenty three minute fifty eight

306
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: second time of possession advantage, that's a quarter.

307
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 4: Bills had a field goal drive to end the game

308
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: that went fourteen plays nine minutes, covered seventy two total yards,

309
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 4: four first downs and in a field goal, then another

310
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 4: one fourteen play, a fifteen drive play drive, and a

311
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 4: sixteen play drive at the end of the first half.

312
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: I mean, you couldn't get them off the field, or

313
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 4: the Steelers couldn't. Yeah, it was a it was unbelieva

314
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: except for the interception of the fumble.

315
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: This is uh, We'll go around the NFL now presented

316
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: by Coalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

317
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, who is now three and five lifetime against

318
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: the Bills, now has the lowest passer rating of his

319
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: career against a single opponent, Buffalo seventy four point seven.

320
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: Career completion percentage against an opponent Buffalo fifty six and

321
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: a half percent, And he had some words regarding his

322
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: receiving targets after tight end John hu Smith did not

323
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 2: get a route check pre snap from Rogers, broke his

324
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 2: route outside when it was changed to break inside and

325
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 2: went incomplete. That was the throw that Rogers threw straight

326
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: down the middle of the field to nobody, and people

327
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: were wondering, Oh, they're gonna call grounding on that. John

328
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: hus Smith was the only receiver in the vicinity and

329
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: he had broken the route outside the check said he

330
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: was supposed to break inside.

331
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 6: Yeah.

332
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: Rogers threw a little tantrum after that play too. He

333
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 4: was looking at John new Smith going what are you doing?

334
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 4: I checked this right, And even Romo said it on

335
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 4: the national broadcast. He was like, yeah, Rogers checked that

336
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 4: route and they didn't get it.

337
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: So Rogers was asked after the game, and he suggested

338
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: two simple fixes to getting on the same page with

339
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: his receivers and tight ends. With just five weeks left

340
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: in the regular season, he said, quote, when there's film sessions,

341
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: everybody shows up, and when I checked to a route,

342
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 2: you do the right route. We have our meetings every week,

343
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: other opportunities outside of the facility, and I look forward

344
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: to seeing all the boys there.

345
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 6: End quote.

346
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: Rogers also said it was not a good week of

347
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 2: preparation in practice in his estimation, and said it was

348
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: a boo worthy performance.

349
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, he was. He probably couldn't take reps during practice.

350
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 4: They probably wasn't as sharp as he could have been

351
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 4: because of the injury to his wrist. No snaps under center,

352
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 4: yeah he yes, that's right.

353
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: It's a full hard cast, like with a wrap around

354
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: the thumb, like a typical cast.

355
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: It's not nothing. I mean he was he gutted it

356
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 4: out in that sacked by Bosa that we just watched here.

357
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 4: I mean he gets up bloodied too.

358
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I think his face mask hit his

359
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: nose when he got buried into the ground.

360
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 4: No that was not a fun day for him. And

361
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 4: you know, he comes out, he collects himself for one

362
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: series and Mason Rudolph promptly comes in and throws the

363
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 4: pick on the next two plays later. That was an ugly,

364
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 4: ugly performance yesterday offensively, and he's right, you got He

365
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 4: said it further in his remarks post game that you

366
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 4: win these games. I've said it here. You win these

367
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 4: games Monday through Saturday, and the game proves it. You

368
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 4: win on the practice field and your preparation in the

369
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 4: film rooms, and the game just solidifies it and shows

370
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 4: everybody else what you've already done to win. And if

371
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 4: they've got guys not showing up and not getting checks.

372
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: On the field, that yeah, that's what that's what it

373
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: looks like. As we mentioned, Bronco has got a two

374
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: point conversion stop in overtime to hang on and beat

375
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: the Commanders twenty seven twenty six to improve to ten

376
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 2: and two on the season. Jets kicker Nick Folk hits

377
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: a fifty six yard game winning field goal as time

378
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: expires as the Jets beat Atlanta twenty seven to twenty four.

379
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 2: Jets now three and nine on the season. The Rams

380
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: lost the top spot in the NFC, as Carolina upset

381
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: LA with a thirty one to twenty eight victory in Charlotte.

382
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: Brown's rookie quarterback Shudor Sanders is going to get a

383
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: third straight start next Sunday against the Titans. Head coach

384
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski made that announcement after the team's twenty six

385
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: to eight loss to the San Francisco forty nine ers.

386
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a break in his non

387
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: throwing left hand. It's going to require surgery to stabilize

388
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: the bone. The Chargers did win though, thirty one to

389
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: fourteen over in Las Vegas on Sunday, and they were

390
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: able to move up a spot in the wild card

391
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: standings from six to five. Indianapolis is in the six

392
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: hole in the Bills are in the seventh hole. The

393
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: procedure is scheduled for today for Herbert, who said he

394
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: expects to play in the chargers next game on Monday

395
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles and Colts. Cornerback Sauce

396
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 2: Gardner looks like he'll miss a few weeks with a

397
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: strained calf muscle suffered yesterday, as Indianapolis has now lost

398
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: three of their last four, counting the twenty sixteen decision

399
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: at the hands of division rival Houston yesterday. Houston's now

400
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: seven to five, and they are a common Who you

401
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: think is going to win that division AFC South, because

402
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: right now it's Jacksonville at eight and four, Indianapolis eight

403
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: and four but in second place via tiebreaker, and hughes

404
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 2: in at seven and five. That's a really good question.

405
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: I do know that the Colts have to play the

406
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 2: Texans twice. Still, I'll bet Houston wins it then. I

407
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: mean they played him yesterday and lost, they got to

408
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: play them again in Houston. Yeah, I have fun with that. Yeah,

409
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: They're not gonna win in Houston. Daniel Jones is hobbling

410
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: around on a bad leg. Yeah. I think Indianapolis is

411
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 2: going to fade down the stretch, and I think it's

412
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 2: gonna be between Jacksonville and Houston. And Jacksonville, if you know,

413
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: if you look at their schedule, They've got the Colts

414
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: this week, right then they go to the Jets, then

415
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 2: the Broncos, then the Colts again. So Jacksonville's got him twice.

416
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 2: That's gonna decide the division, no question about it. They

417
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: should beat the Colt.

418
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 4: The Jacksonville Jaguars will probably beat the Colts this week

419
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 4: in my you know, from a million miles away, just

420
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 4: because of Daniel Jones' injury and he's he was limited yesterday.

421
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: You know, I think they're fading. What can I say?

422
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: Nothing to say really, but you're right, that's a divisions

423
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: that grabs right now. Stroud is back in the lineup.

424
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: They have weapons, and their defense keeps them in games.

425
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: The defense keeps them in games. So that's where it's

426
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 2: at there. I think Houston might end up winning that division,

427
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: which is not ideal because if the Bills are a

428
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: wildcard team, there's a chance they got to go to Houston.

429
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 2: Just putting it out there, not asking for it, but

430
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: you not, it's just not a good matchup for the Bills.

431
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: So we shall see. Bills did even their record at

432
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: three and three on the road with the victory, and

433
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 2: they are now three and one after losses. Josh Allen

434
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: twenty seven and nine is in his career as a

435
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: starter following a loss. He's one of only three quarterbacks

436
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: with a winning percentage of seven hundred or better following

437
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: a loss since he came into the league in twenty eighteen.

438
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: So there we are, UH want your biggest takeaways from

439
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: yesterday's victory twenty six to seven over the Steelers, and

440
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 2: you can let us know at eight oh three five

444
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: against the Steelers. Eight oh three oh five fifty one

445

00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: plan of the Buffalo Bills because life James Cook with

470
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: thirty two carries that is a single game high this

471
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: season for one hundred and forty four yards. It also

472
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 2: matches an NFL single game high with Jonathan Taylor, who

473
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 2: also had thirty two carries in a game this season,

474
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: also the team's leading receiver with three receptions for thirty

475
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: three yards on a day where they didn't have to

476
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: throw it much. So one hundred and seventy seven total

477
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 2: yards from scrimmage for James Cook and how far behind

478
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: He's not far behind Jonathan Taylor for the rushing lead.

479
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: How far behind him? Is he eighty two yards?

480
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 4: Now fifty six yard or something? I said it's twelve eight.

481
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 4: I just had it up and I lost it. But

482
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 4: it's twelve eighty two to to twenty eight or something.

483
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's to twelve twenty eight. Yeah, James has twelve

484
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty eight yards and Taylor has twelve hundred

485
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: and eighty two. Yeah, didn't have a big Taylor didn't

486
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: have a big day yesterday against the Texans, as you

487
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 2: might expect. I'm not going to do the public math

488
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: and try and guess exactly how much that is, but

489
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: it's not very many. Yeah. One good run, Oh yeah,

490
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: that's all it'll take. We should also remind you that

491
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: this week's game against the Bengals is presented by Toyota,

492
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: the official and exclusive car and truck of the Buffalo Bills.

493
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: And in case you were living under a rock last week,

494
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: you know it was Thanksgiving week, holiday week. Maybe not

495
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 2: paying his close attention to your Buffalo Bills. Their game

496
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: used that the game this weekend was a four o'clock game.

497
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: It was flexed to a one o'clock game, so don't

498
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 2: be late. It's a one pm kickoff on Sunday, not four.

499
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: So you might look at your schedule on your fridge

500
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: that you printed out back in May and it might

501
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: say four. It's not four. It's a one o'clock kickoff,

502
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 2: So make a note of it and tell the people

503
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 2: you're going to the game with. Also, it is a

504
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: one pm kickoff on Sunday at high Mark Stadium. But

505
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: let's get to the phones at eight oh three, five

506
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: fifty one eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty What

507
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 2: were your biggest takeaways from the bills twenty six seven

508
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 2: win over the Steelers. Open lines for you there, but

509
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: we lead off today with Bob in Lancaster. What do

510
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: you got for us?

511
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 7: Bob, Hi, good morning, Thanks for taking the call. I

512
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 7: wanted to comment on, you know, my thoughts on why

513
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 7: partly why Buffalo won last night versus some of the

514
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 7: ones that they lost, and to a man, to a team,

515
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 7: what I saw last night was intensity. They played with intensity.

516
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 7: They weren't laying back. They weren't not that they laid

517
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 7: back at all, but there's days when you know when

518
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 7: you hear after a game. While we didn't play our best,

519
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 7: we didn't do whatever. Last night, they played with very

520
00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 7: strong intensity and purpose and it showed. And I think

521
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 7: the comments that Chris you made about starting to get

522
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 7: the Pittsburgh to feel defeated came from that intensity. Play

523
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 7: after play, when you know you look at Denver and

524
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 7: they're playing defense, they played with intensity, and last night

525
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 7: not only on defense but also on offense. To a man,

526
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 7: everybody played really intense. And if they can do that

527
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 7: every game, I think we got a shot at the

528
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 7: super Bowl. And that's my thoughts.

529
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: All right, Bob, thanks for the call, appreciate it. I

530
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: agree with you from the standpoint of they played with

531
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: intensity after a slow start. There wasn't a whole lot

532
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: of mojo on the offensive side of the ball at

533
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: the start of that game. And then Josh gets hit

534
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,479
Speaker 2: when he scrambles and slides. I think it was Patrick

535
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: Queen that hit him late, no flag, and the entire

536
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: team comes over and takes issue with Patrick Queen and

537
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: the bench is going nuts too, and so everybody came

538
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: over after that, and to no one's surprised, Alec Anderson

539
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: Ryan Vandermark were two of the first guys over there.

540
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: The team was fired up after that. They were then

541
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: they had energy and mojo and purpose. Not to say

542
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: they weren't. It's not like they weren't trying before that.

543
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: But my point is I felt that they were playing

544
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: with a lot more purpose and intensity after that hit.

545
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: I think that got everybody juiced up to really take

546
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: it to the Steelers after that, and the defense, to

547
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: their credit, did spark the rest of the team with

548
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: Bos's play and Benford's return and then the ensuing interception.

549
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean, that's thirteen points off turnovers in the game

550
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: was completely flipped after that.

551
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with Bob, but you could feel

552
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: the temperature rise. And I'll say this too that it

553
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 4: was no small thing, Josh, you know, just a nondescript

554
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 4: play up the middle. Cam Hayward tackles Josh. Hayward hesitates

555
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 4: or maybe takes an extra half a second to get

556
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: off Josh. Josh moves his legs to get him out

557
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 4: because he wants to get up, and Hayward kind of

558
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 4: loses his mind, gets up and gets in Josh's face.

559
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 4: And I think that was as much of a leadership

560
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 4: move by Hayward as it wasn't affront by Josh. Dave

561
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 4: Hayward was trying to get his guys fired up. I

562
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 4: thought he was trying to do his best to act

563
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 4: like he had been insulted or cheap shotted so that

564
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 4: his team would fire.

565
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: Up, and there was no response.

566
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: There was no response by his guys. On the other hand,

567
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 4: when Josh went over and slid and took the hit,

568
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 4: and on the broadcast, Tony Romo and Jim Nancers chit

569
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 4: chatting back and forth about you know, and they bring

570
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 4: Gene's territory in from New York and they say, Gene,

571
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: what do you think is this a personal foul tory?

572
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 4: He just says, yep, that's all he say.

573
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: Did yeah that flag not without hesitation? Oh yeah. I

574
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: mean you could see James Cook motioning like, hey, throw

575
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: the flag. That's a personal foul. The guy's already sliding. Yeah,

576
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: And it was, and it was close. I mean in

577
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: the old days ever people laugh at this might be

578
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: a penalty.

579
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 4: But you've seen this a zillion times.

580
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's a flag and they just decided

581
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: not to call it. I mean, Josh gets that call

582
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: all the time, Mahomes gets it, Lamar gets at every quarterback.

583
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 4: He gets it.

584
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: You have to pull The rule is you have to

585
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: pull up as soon as the guy starts to slide

586
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: because he's giving himself up on the play, you cannot

587
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: unnecessarily hit him, and he did so it should be

588
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 2: a flag. Yeah it wasn't.

589
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 4: It wasn't whatever and that and that turned the temperature up.

590
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: The Bills responded to it and the Steelers did not,

591
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 4: And and it got chippy in the first half. If

592
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: you remember, there was a couple of those things, and

593
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 4: and uh, the Bills responded in a better way than

594
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 4: to win the game than the Steelers did. And then

595
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 4: those two turnovers. I'll say it again, man oh man,

596
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 4: the Steelers were a different team after those. Their defense

597
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 4: was different, they were demoralized, and their offense when even

598
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: when Rogers came back on the field, there was just

599
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 4: no pulse. And that's when a team does that. That's

600
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: when people start looking at the head coach like, that's

601
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 4: your job, you know, you got to get these guys ready.

602
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 4: And and emotionally, the Bills the Steelers. Emotionally, the Steelers

603
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 4: looked detached after that. And that's you know, and it

604
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 4: turned into a laugher.

605
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 2: Let's go to Bobby in Buffalo next.

606
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 8: What's up, Bobby, Hey, how you doing? Chris good, good, Chris.

607
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 8: My biggest turn, well, my biggest takeaway from the game,

608
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 8: as you guys stated, you know, was the the Joey

609
00:33:55,080 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 8: the Joey Bosa sack, Christian Bedford's uh fumber recovery and

610
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 8: his interception. But what but what got me was this

611
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 8: can can you can you guys answer this question for me?

612
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 8: How can a team run the same exact play over

613
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 8: and over again and another team cannot stop it? I

614
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 8: could not understand that whatsoever. Yeah, okay, And and and

615
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 8: another thing that got me was this, did you guys

616
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 8: see did you guys see the crowd in Pittsburgh talking

617
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 8: about fire Mike Tomlin, Fire Mike Tomlin. Now that got

618
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 8: to me as well, because because in spite, in spite

619
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 8: of Pittsburgh's mistakes, Mike Tomlin is a good coach. Okay,

620
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 8: but I'll leave I'll leave the rest up to you guys.

621
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 8: Enjoy your day.

622
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, Bobby, appreciate it. I'll let Steve handle the

623
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: fire Tomlin stuff. But I'll just say, with respect to

624
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 2: the defensive played the Steelers, we touched on it already.

625
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 2: I was stupefied by it. I don't know what Terrell

626
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: Austin the defensive coordinator was doing. It was very clear

627
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: the Bills were going to run two plays in the

628
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: run game until you proved you could stop it. And

629
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: they did not sell out to stop that play the

630
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: entire game. I was blown away by it. As Steve said,

631
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 2: they put nine in the box a couple of times,

632
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 2: but then went back to just doing their normal coverages

633
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: of receipt. I just I don't understand it. Even the

634
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers, who couldn't stop the pitch play for three

635
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 2: and a half quarters back in Week six, eventually stopped

636
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 2: it in the fourth quarter. They at least they stopped

637
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: that play by the fourth quarter of the game. The

638
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 2: Steelers never stopped the damn play. They kept running duo

639
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: at him downhill. Here we come.

640
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 4: You're talking about guys coached in that city for eighteen

641
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 4: years and has never not once had a losing season.

642
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 4: Then they're calling for his head.

643
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's bad. It's bad there, and it looks as

644
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 2: bad on the field. It looked. It looked bad.

645
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 4: They looked tired and disinterested, and that's no way for

646
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 4: a you know, that's not what Pittsburgh Steeler fans expect

647
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: from their team. And they're they're holding the head coach responsible.

648
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 2: Now, all that being said, the Steelers are Steelers fans

649
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 2: are enormously entitled and have been spoiled by six championships.

650
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 2: Can I just put that out there, like you have

651
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 2: a right to complain, Don't get me wrong. Yeah, yeah,

652
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 2: a little spoiled, just a little. We'll see where it goes.

653
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 2: I mean, they haven't really, they're not in the business

654
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: of firing coaches. They don't do it. Could be a

655
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: mutual parting. I could see that happening, you know, But yeah,

656
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 2: they they're not in the business of firing coaches. That's

657
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 2: just not the way the Rooney family has operated for

658
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 2: the longest time. To Tom on the West Side, what's

659
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 2: up Tom?

660
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, a game yesterday. I was very impressed with

661
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 6: the offensive line, the way they performed. But the reason

662
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 6: I'm calling you guys were talking about the uncalled penalties.

663
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 6: I saw a face masks there that they didn't call.

664
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 6: But anyway, I'm calling specifically about the play where Ogan Joby.

665
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 6: He impressed me. He's a big boy. He got into

666
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 6: the backfield, but I thought he was gonna get a

667
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 6: sack and I don't remember if it was a screen

668
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 6: pass or he dumped it out into the far flat,

669
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 6: but he was running down the sideline with the ball

670
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 6: and Ogan Jobi turned around and he ran on an

671
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 6: angle and he caught the player about thirty yards downfield

672
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 6: and assisted on the tackle. Do you recall that play?

673
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 2: I do not personally, but I'm sure it happened. I'm

674
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,479
Speaker 2: not gonna doubt you Tom on that one.

675
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 6: I couldn't believe how fast that guy could run, being

676
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 6: as big as he was.

677
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's a wide body too, Like his frame

678
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 2: is very wide. I mean we had him here in studio.

679
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 2: He barely fits on the chair. He's just got very

680
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 2: a very wide frame to him, shoulders and hips, which

681
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: is ideal for the job that he's got to do

682
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 2: on the defensive interior. He was also one of the

683
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: team captains yesterday for the coin toss. Having been a

684
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: former Steeler, I'm presuming that's one of the reasons he

685
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 2: was selected to be a captain for the coin toss yesterday.

686
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, I thought he played a good game yesterday

687
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 2: and he's probably fully settled in now, you know, comfortable

688
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 2: playing you know, coming back in week eight.

689
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 4: There is a little bit of something extra extra in

690
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 4: this game. I'm sure for Ogan Jobi, no question about it.

691
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, he played well and the whole defense did.

692
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's there's no coincidence he was a team

693
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 2: captain yesterday. I will say defensively, Shaq Thompson did a

694
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: great job leading the defense. Was the I with the

695
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 2: green dot with Terrell Bernard out ran the defense, led

696
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 2: the team with nine tackles once again, as we've seen before,

697
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 2: brought a physical edge to the defensive unit. And then

698
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 2: coach McDermott even mentioned after the game. He said that

699
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: Thompson got up in front of the defense late in

700
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 2: the week and basically challenged them to deliver their best

701
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: performance of the season because they knew the offense was

702
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 2: going to be shorthanded, and he basically challenged the defensive

703
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: unit to play their best game yesterday. And I think

704
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 2: that one comes pretty close. Yeah, I mean, they were

705
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 2: playing an offense that is essentially in shambles, but that

706
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 2: notwithstanding give up a touchdown at the beginning of the game.

707
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 2: He didn't know that going in.

708
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 4: I mean, there were a lot of people in our

709
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 4: circles that we had real doubts about how this game

710
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 4: was gonna go in Pittsburgh with the injuries of Bill's

711
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 4: offense certainly had two great players on your offen and

712
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 4: still in Josh Allen and James Cook, but just you know,

713
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 4: to stop the running game. You felt like, wow, that's

714
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 4: the Steelers gonna be able to do that, right they

715
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 4: would you know, put this game in the hands of

716
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 4: Keon Coleman and and Gabe Davis and Shakir They couldn't

717
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 4: do it, and that was I think it was a surprise.

718
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 4: So yeah, that the Bill's offense, there was a lot

719
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 4: of doubts about this game, and the Bills you know,

720
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 4: silenced all of them in a big way, and I

721
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 4: think it raised some real concern on the side of

722
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 4: the Steelers. I don't think there's any question. You know,

723
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 4: we alluded to it. This game went south for the Steelers,

724
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 4: and it went way further than anybody thought it would.

725
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 4: I think there's some soul searching going on in Pittsburgh

726
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:50,959
Speaker 4: right now.

727
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, But more of your phone

Speaker 2: Steelers yesterday. Phone calls next here on a victory Monday.

734
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 2: The numbers that matter are presented by the New York Lottery.

735
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 2: Josh Allen talented seventy sixth career rushing touchdown against the

736
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 2: Steelers on his eight yard touchdown runs, surpassing Cam Newton

737
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 2: for the most rushing touchdowns all time by a quarterback.

738
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 2: In the regular season. Buffalo's two hundred and forty nine

739
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 2: rushing yards are the most ever by his Steelers' opponent

740

745
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: the postgame locker room. Coach McDermott hands in the game

746
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 2: ball for becoming the all time rushing touchdown leader among

747
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in league history. And everybody's looking at Josh rahim

748
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: to saying something. He puts his hands over his head

749
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: and he goes whoa, he didn't care about any of

750
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 2: that stuff. Yeah, he really doesn't. Back to the phones though,

Speaker 2: to Alex in Charlotte, we go, what's up Alex?

754
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, appreciate you taking my call. Hey, Steve, he

755
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 9: called on Friday and asked about, you know, the offense,

756
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 9: how hard it is to get in a rhythm when

757
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 9: they don't.

758
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 7: Start out that way.

759
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 9: I was a little worried about that yesterday with the turnovers,

760
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 9: the fall starts. It seemed like the you know, three

761
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 9: points in the first half. The offense definitely had a

762
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 9: had a hard time getting going. I think the biggest

763
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 9: difference yesterday was the defense really showed up with with

764
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 9: the turnovers. I think all season, even though this offense

765
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 9: can be a wagon, you know, some wheels will fall off,

766
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 9: and last year the defense always had timely turnovers, was

767
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 9: always creating big plays that seemed to jump start the offense.

768
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 9: We just hadn't seen that this year. Yesterday. I don't

769
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 9: think it can really be understated what that defense did.

770
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 9: Thirty first and run defense going on the road against

771
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 9: the team that you know is gonna want to run

772
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 9: it down your throat, and they really shored up for

773
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 9: that defense, being as underhanded as they are to put

774
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 9: on some of these performances they've been putting on even

775
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 9: when they start rough. I don't think they're getting enough

776
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 9: credit personally, Bobby Bavits and Sean McDermott, the game plans

777
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 9: and adjustments that they're putting in. I would have loved

778
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 9: to see this defense healthy. But I thought that was

779
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 9: my biggest takeaway from the game yesterday, was the one

780
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 9: bad area that our defense had.

781
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 5: They really made sure.

782
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 9: That they were not going to get gashed and they didn't.

783
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 4: Yeah I had, You're right, they did, and we haven't

784
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 4: seen enough of that. And those two turnovers were on

785
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 4: time and they happened, you know, helped, and they helped

786
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 4: the offense find itself, no question, tease to play from

787
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 4: a front and it's you can go in. It's kind

788
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 4: of a rabbit hole when you start talking about all

789
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 4: the stuff that goes into this and about you know,

790
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 4: the finger quotes the complimentary football and you know, the

791
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 4: first time or one of the few times this season

792
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 4: the defense was complimentary, and that's and and it worked

793
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 4: to perfection. You're right thirty first against the run, and

794
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 4: then they go out and have a game like that.

795
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 4: I remember back in the day, all the way back

796
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 4: when I played, I had former executives, and back in

797
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 4: the day, guys would say it. As a pro athlete,

798
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 4: one week, he can go out and absolutely stink because

799
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 4: the other team's a bad matchup, or because they do

800
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 4: something that you're not ready for, and you just have

801
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 4: a bad day against them, and you go back to work,

802
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 4: you film, you see it on film, you make some adjustments,

803
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 4: and with a new mindset and a different way of

804
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 4: evaluating your own self and with a different plan, you

805
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 4: go out and the next week, what looked like an

806
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 4: extreme weakness in your defense turns into a strength because

807
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 4: you're pros and you can make adjustments, and you can

808
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 4: have a different mindset and you can do that. That's

809
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 4: what happened against the Steelers. What they hadn't done very

810
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 4: well for most of the season, they found a way

811
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 4: around it. You can say Shaq Thompson made a difference, okay,

812
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 4: but he's one guy. There's a lot of other guys

813
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 4: on that defense. They all showed up, and that's why

814
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 4: That's why we were talking about the break. That's why

815
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 4: you're nuts to gamble on the NFL. You're crazy because

816
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 4: stuff like this happens.

817
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 7: Right.

818
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 2: The Bills had five takeaways in their first six games

819
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 2: of the season. In their second six games, they have ten.

820
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 2: They have doubled their takeaway rate from the first six

821
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: games to the second six. Five in the first six games,

822
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 2: ten in the next six. That's got to continue because

823
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: it's one thing that the Bill's defense hung their hat

824
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 2: on last year. They got to get back to doing

825
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 2: more of that and giving extra possessions to their offense.

826
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 2: To Joe in Tanawana, what's.

827
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 10: Up, Joe, Hey, guys, congratulations again on the Bill's victory.

828
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 10: A couple of things. On the defensive side, it was

829
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 10: beautiful for refreshingly not seeing Warrant, Jalen Warren or Gainwell

830
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 10: breakoff huge chunks of yardage in the rushing game. How

831
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 10: we did that and stopped them, it was beautiful. Secondly,

832
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 10: I'm a little upset that those got the Pittsburgh Steelers

833
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 10: to like I think it would have been third and

834
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 10: twelve or third and seventeen, And I don't know what

835
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 10: Epanessa was thinking. We had the momentum going and he

836
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 10: kicked the ball out of Metcaff's hand and got a

837
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 10: fifteen yard kind ofty for that, and that was kind

838
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 10: of just hard. We can't have that. That can't happen

839
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 10: the other side. On the offensive side, I think we're

840
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,479
Speaker 10: finally seeing in the Ray Davis we had last year

841
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 10: last week with the kickoff return and then in his

842
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 10: secondary role yesterday gaining sixty two yards behind James. To

843
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 10: have that type of offensive output from the secondary running back,

844
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 10: I mean, I hope Davis continues because he's a big

845
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 10: part of what happened last year offensively, and now he's

846
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 10: starting to come around. Last thing is what's the status

847
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 10: Incid with the Bengals coming in? How much we could

848
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 10: use him this week? Thanks guys.

849
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, hard to know as of yet what Kincaid's status

850
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 2: is going to be, so we're gonna have to wait

851
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: and see what. Coach mc dermott says that his press

852
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: conference later this afternoon scheduled to address the media at four,

853
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 2: so stay close to Buffalo Bills dot com for updates

854
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 2: on that. And Palmer missed the game also after he

855
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 2: went from a full participant Wednesday last week to a

856
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 2: non participant Thursday, so he must have reaggravated the ankle

857
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 2: injury he's been battling through. So hopefully there are positive

858
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 2: updates on those two guys, because you're gonna need You're

859
00:47:55,680 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 2: gonna need all your weapons for this game. Because the

860
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 2: Bengals with Chase and Higgins and now Mike Kasiki is

861
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 2: back from injury, the tight end who might as well

862
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 2: be a tight receiver. Uh, They're gonna have all their

863
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 2: weapons ready to roll and they're looking to win games.

864
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 2: And you say, well, why are they even looking to

865
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 2: win games? At four and eight, they're two games out

866
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 2: of the division lead with five to play. They think

867
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 2: they got a shot at the AFC North title and

868
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: they do. Yeah, with the way some of these teams

869
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: are playing.

870
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you look at the standing and that that

871
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 4: whole division. Well, the two teams out there are two

872
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 4: games out. The Bengals are gonna and they have.

873
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: The best division record at three and one.

874
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 4: Right, they've got to win every game. They've got to

875
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 4: win every game, and it's gonna be huge, And you're right.

876
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 4: The penalty on aj Epenessa was a was a crusher

877
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 4: in the moment, not a smart and it wasn't even

878
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 4: it was not necessary, it was and it was it

879
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 4: was almost a play for he was just kind of

880
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 4: fooling around taking the ball away. It wasn't even like

881
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 4: they were aggressive. He wasn't even they weren't even in

882
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 4: a confrontation.

883
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: But taunting, and that's up as a point of emphasis.

884
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 4: And plus when you get in a chippy game like that,

885
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 4: and I was, yeah, that's disappointing. Yeah, that's really disappointing

886
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 4: when he when you get a penalty like that and

887
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 4: after all everything that's happened in that moment, when they're

888
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 4: gonna be third and twelve or whatever it was gonna be,

889
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 4: and they end up getting the first down getting a

890
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 4: first down, that was that's a crusher.

891
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 2: And you're right, Joe. The run defense has been much

892
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 2: maligned this season. The longest run from scrimmage by the

893
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 2: Steelers yesterday was twelve yards, So yeah, and the Steelers

894
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 2: average three point two per carry. The Bills won the

895
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 2: battle at the line of scrimmage on both sides of

896
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 2: the ball, and it was a big reason why Buffalo

897
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 2: only gave up fifty eight yards rushing in the game.

898
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 2: So yes, tip your hat to them. They did an

899
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 2: outstanding job. Got to take a break here, but when

Speaker 2: Bills have a very good one loss record in December

921
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 2: under Sean McDermott. So hopefully that continues this season as

922
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 2: well as we have now flipped the calendar to December,

923
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 2: and holy cow, do I have to get a head

924
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 2: start on a head start. I just have to get

925
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 2: started on Christmas shopping. I am way behind. It's not good.

926
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 6: You got it.

927
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 11: You've got a few weeks, don't worry.

928
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 2: I usually don't start until after Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving was

929
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 2: really late, so now it's just like, oh, crap, I

930
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 2: gotta get it. Yeah, you'll get her, You'll get it done. Yeah.

931
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 2: But let's begin with Maddy Awards. We're handing those out

932
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 2: instead of Christmas gifts here on December first, and it's

933
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 2: the pure Grit Award to lead us off here, peer grit.

934
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 11: Ryan Vandermark and Alec Anderson had pure grit in this game.

935
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 11: They were filling in for the starting left tackle and

936
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 11: right tackle, a tall task to do something like that.

937
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 11: It's not like these two have a lot of years

938
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 11: under their belt. No, they are younger players with seven

939
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 11: combined starts between them entering the matchup going against a

940
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,720
Speaker 11: Steelers defensive line who is really tough, led by TJ.

941
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 11: Watt who has one hundred and fifteen career sacks. It

942
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 11: is scary to go against TJ. Watt in his building

943
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 11: because you have to go to a silent count. And

944
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 11: Anderson and Vandermark played with pure grit and heart. It

945
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 11: was awesome to see them on the field blocking for

946
00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 11: their team. They go off for two hundred and forty

947
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 11: nine rushing yards, a record setting number at Pittsburgh. It

948
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 11: was amazing to watch them block and see how their

949
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 11: teammates helped them along the way. Also, Aaron Kromer, offensive

950
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 11: line coach with the Bills, he deserves an assist for

951
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 11: this one getting those two ready for this game, making

952
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,479
Speaker 11: sure they knew what they were doing. Chromer is loved

953
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 11: by so many people in this building because they say

954
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 11: he's an individualized teacher and does a great job making

955
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,479
Speaker 11: the hard things easy. And he did that for vana

956
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 11: Mark and Anderson. They went off.

957
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that was the story coming out of

958
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 4: this game, that the amazing job because they ran the

959
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 4: ball and all that's total that's offensive line and a

960
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 4: good running back, but that your offensive line's got to

961
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 4: be in sync. And we made this point in postgame

962
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 4: last night. I told Brownie today. It really worked to

963
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 4: their benefit that Joe Brady just said, listen, we're gonna

964
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 4: call these two plays and we're going to run it

965
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 4: until they stop it. And it it worked to keep

966
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 4: it very simple for those young guys. They got better

967
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 4: at it. They got a lot of reps, they were

968
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 4: getting better. I thought that was it really worked out

969
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 4: to Buffalo's benefit that that play calling could repeat those plays.

970
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 4: You don't have to think about too much, man, just

971
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,240
Speaker 4: go out and cut it loose. And that really helped

972
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 4: Alec Anderson and Vandermark Mesh with those three guys that

973
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 4: have been there all year.

974
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the Killer award.

975
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 11: The killer in this game was the rushing offense and

976
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 11: time of possession. You know what kills and opponent's opportunities.

977
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 11: It is staying on the field. The Bills crushed any

978
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 11: chances the Steelers had by controlling time of possession.

979
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 2: Forty two minutes.

980
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 11: Is how long the Bills were on the field compared

981
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:45,720
Speaker 11: to the Steelers eighteen minutes. The Bills played bully ball

982
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 11: fifty one rushing attempts. That is a huge, fat number.

983
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 11: They ran the ball over and over again. We heard

984
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 11: from TJ. Watt after the game and he said, the

985
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 11: Bills just ran the same play over and over and

986
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 11: we had a really hard time stole that duo concept.

987
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 11: It was awesome to see James Cook go off for

988
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 11: one hundred and forty four rushing yards. He was elusive

989
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 11: at finding the gaps and staying on his feet for

990
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 11: yards after contact. He actually had sixty yards before contact,

991
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 11: which says a lot about how the game unfolded.

992
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was great to see. It was a bludgeting,

993
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 2: there's no other way to say it. And as we

994
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 2: said earlier, you could tell by like the third quarter,

995
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: the Steelers defense was already demoralize. A lot of hands

996
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 2: on hips, a lot of bad body language. They were

997
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 2: a beaten team by quarter number three.

998
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 11: The comeback kids, the comeback kids. Buffalo's rushing defense had

999
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 11: a comeback performance against the Steelers. Heading into this game,

1000
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 11: the Bills were thirtieth allowing over one hundred and forty

1001
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 11: rushing yards per game. But in this game, they played physical,

1002
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 11: they played tough. They had an attitude about the way

1003
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 11: that they tackled on defense. They did a great job

1004
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 11: tackling and they were really physical that allow season low

1005
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 11: fifty eight rushing yards to the Steelers. It was a

1006
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 11: performance where they said, look at what we can do.

1007
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 11: This is who we want to become on defense. And

1008
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 11: the longest run they allowed, I heard you say it earlier,

1009
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 11: twelve yards. It was incredible to watch and I hope

1010
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 11: we see a lot more out of the run defense

1011
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 11: this year.

1012
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 2: The fits were really good, probably the most consistent we

1013
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 2: have seen them all season, because too often we have

1014
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 2: seen guys not in their gaps and it leads to

1015
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 2: mistackles and then long runs. It might have been their

1016
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,919
Speaker 2: best tackling day of the season too.

1017
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 11: The Hunter Hunter Bill's cornerback Christian Benford was a man

1018
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 11: on a mission against the Steelers. Sean McDermott challenged the

1019
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 11: team by saying, hey, defense, you gotta score a touchdown

1020
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 11: for us in this one. Benford said, I got you, coach?

1021
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 12: What does he do?

1022
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 11: Beginning of the second half defensive end, Joey Bosa forces

1023
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 11: a fumble and Bend is there to recover it for

1024
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 11: the scoop and score. And on the next possession, Benford said,

1025
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 11: I'm not done yet. I got one more thing left

1026
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 11: in my bag of tricks. He pulls out an interception

1027
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 11: and did a great job by seeing Mason Rudolph have

1028
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 11: an overthrow. He was in the right position at the

1029
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 11: right time and did a great job of making sure

1030
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 11: his feet were in bounds. That is great awareness by

1031
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 11: the cornerback. When you throw Christian Benford's way, bad things

1032
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 11: are going to happen to your offense.

1033
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was pretty much following DK Metcalf all

1034
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 2: game like. They basically put him on Metcalf and said,

1035
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 2: you're just going to follow him because he's the biggest

1036
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,439
Speaker 2: thread in their passing game and really the only thing

1037
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 2: that represents a big play thread in any capacity. Maybe

1038
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 2: with the exception of Darnell Washington who catches the ball

1039
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 2: and then runs over people. That's really their passing game

1040
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 2: in a nutshell, it's Metcalf in Washington on occasion, and

1041
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 2: Benford shut him down too. I think he only had

1042
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 2: three catches for a pedestrian a manny yards.

1043
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 4: I think I saw on social that Metcalf had ten

1044
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 4: reps man de man coverage against Benford zero receptions. The

1045
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 4: three receptions were against zone coverage and Benford held him

1046
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 4: off the scoreesheet, which is huge.

1047
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. So he had

1048
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 2: in the game. Let me look at his stat line.

1049
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf had three catches for thirty two yards. His

1050
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 2: longest reception was fourteen yards. That is a win against

1051
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 2: that guy. Record setter, record setter.

1052
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 11: It's going to our quarterback, Josh Allen. Josh Allen plays

1053
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 11: in a game, Josh Allen breaks another record. That's just

1054
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 11: how the story goes. Allan was converting third downs with

1055
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 11: his legs plowing through for extra yards. It was a

1056
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 11: type of game where Alan said I'm gonna do whatever

1057
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 11: it takes to win this football game. And you saw

1058
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 11: that with the attitude he played with. Alan had one

1059
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 11: rushing touchdown in this game. It was good for a record.

1060
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 11: He passes Cam Newton for most rushing touchdowns by a

1061
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 11: quarterback in NFL history with seventy.

1062
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, had a couple other records in the game. Two

1063
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 2: he passed Brett Fahr for the fifth most touchdown passes

1064
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 2: by a quarterback in his first eight seasons. He now

1065
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 2: has two hundred and fourteen and with the two combined touchdowns.

1066
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 2: He also passed far Van Rogers for second most consecutive

1067
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 2: seasons with at least thirty touchdowns with six consecutive. Only

1068
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 2: Drew Brees has more with nine straight seasons. Crazy, I mean,

1069
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 2: it's just different things just fall by the wayside each

1070
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 2: week with Allan scoring points. It's bananas. The Unsung Hero.

1071
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 11: Award Unsung Hero Bill's linebacker Shack Thompson deserves some credit

1072
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 11: for the part that he played in the win against

1073
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 11: the Steelers. Thompson was thrust into the middle linebacker role

1074
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 11: because Sarrell Bernard was out with injury. You could rely

1075
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 11: on the eleven year veteran to know exactly what he

1076
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 11: was doing. Thompson did a great job calling the defense

1077
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 11: and stopping the run the Bill's loudest fifty eight rushing yards.

1078
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 11: Thompson was physical and mean in this game. He does

1079
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 11: a great job in the middle of that defense, taking

1080
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 11: up space and anticipating what's going to happen. And it

1081
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 11: wasn't only that Thompson did a lot as a leader

1082
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 11: in this matchup as well. Sean McDermott said that Thompson

1083
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 11: stood up in a team meeting in the week prior

1084
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 11: to the game and said we have to step it

1085
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 11: up as a team. And they answered, that's big time

1086
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,919
Speaker 11: leadership from a veteran who really understands this system since

1087
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 11: he's played in it before and he's flourished with the Bills.

1088
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,479
Speaker 11: I talked to him earlier in the season and he said,

1089
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 11: I wish I would have come here sooner. I always

1090
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 11: wanted to play for Sean McDermott as a head coach.

1091
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 11: And now that I'm here and I see what's happening

1092
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 11: within my game at this point in my career, it

1093
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 11: should have been earlier.

1094
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he showed up big time and he has

1095
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 4: been a real asset when you can tell you notice

1096
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 4: him when he's on the field, and that's been tough

1097
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 4: to do in a year that they've had defensively.

1098
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 2: Something tells me this next award was prompted by a

1099
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 2: request from mister Glab. I could be I could be wrong.

1100
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but well, I skipped one, So let's do.

1101
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 11: Where we can go to that one whatever, which is

1102
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 11: bear Down Award.

1103
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 2: The Bear Down Award.

1104
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 11: Bear Dumn Chicago Bears.

1105
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 2: I got.

1106
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 11: I got to give a shout out to the hometown

1107
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 11: team grew up in Chicago. My family is huge Bears

1108
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 11: fans as well as Bills fans since I've been here

1109
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 11: for seven years now. They love that AFC team in

1110
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 11: the Buffalo Bills, but their number one team is the

1111
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:30,680
Speaker 11: Chicago Bears, who lead the NFC right now with a

1112
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 11: nine and three record. The last time the Bears led

1113
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 11: the NFC was twenty eighteen. Everybody, it does not happen

1114
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 11: often as of late, and Ben Johnson is getting it

1115
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 11: done as their head coach. They lead the league in

1116
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 11: takeaways with twenty six, and they're averaging twenty six.

1117
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 2: So here's the important thing I need to know. I

1118
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 2: need to know what your dad's take was on the

1119
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 2: shirt removal rendition by Ben Johnson. He loved it, Okay,

1120
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 2: I loved it because I heard everybody was getting free

1121
01:01:58,360 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 2: hot dogs.

1122
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 4: Right hot dogs?

1123
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, there's a there's a hot dog company in

1124
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 2: Chicago that basically said, if Ben Johnson removes his shirt

1125
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 2: in the postgame speech in the locker room after a victory,

1126
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 2: everybody gets free hot dogs, which quite frankly, with the

1127
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 2: population in Chicago, could put that business out of business.

1128
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,959
Speaker 2: But then you hear Ben Johnson say in the locker room,

1129
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 2: I think Chicago fans are hungry too. He was fully aware,

1130
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 2: he knew, he knew, and all of a sudden, he

1131
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 2: hands the hat to one of his players, the shirt

1132
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 2: comes off and it's on after It.

1133
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 11: Was a party in the locker room after that win.

1134
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 11: I'm happy to see it because I know what the

1135
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 11: Bears have been through. I followed this team since I

1136
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 11: was a young kid, and it's been a long time coming.

1137
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 4: I went to school in Chicago in eighty two through

1138
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 4: eighty five, so I was there for the eighty five

1139
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 4: Bears the whole run up. It's a different in that

1140
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 4: city when the Bears are good, and it's all too

1141
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 4: infrequent that they are. So remember the last time when

1142
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 4: they had quarterbacks?

1143
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 2: Different coaches, right, Yeah? And who was the guy that

1144
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 2: went thirteen and three? Uh?

1145
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 4: Was the head coach? No, No, the Dick double doink.

1146
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 2: That was Matt Matt Matt Hage, Matt Maggy who.

1147
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 4: Is now the offensive coordinator in Kansas City.

1148
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 2: And he went back after he got fire.

1149
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 4: Kind of the same thing. And you Ben Johnson better

1150
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,439
Speaker 4: enjoyed because in two years he'll be someplace else. Oh wow,

1151
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 4: I mean wow, that's just the way it goes right.

1152
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,720

1215
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 3: That he fuffled. It's scooped up by Bedford and he races.

Speaker 2: of the Week is presented by National Grid. National Grid

1218
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 2: brings reliable energy to Bill's mafia and beyond Joey Bosa

1219
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 2: with the sack and the strip and Christian Benford. You

1220
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 2: want to talk about a well timed blitz off the

1221
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 2: corner by your corner back that left a very athletic

1222
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 2: player in the offensive backfield to scoop up a football

1223
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 2: and run away from big men.

1224
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, they sent a five man rush with a corner

1225
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:34,439
Speaker 4: coming off the edge, and to their credit, the back

1226
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 4: end held up. Rogers had to avoid the pressure from

1227
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 4: Bosa once and he was keeping his eyes down the field,

1228
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 4: had nobody opened that he could throw to. He retraced

1229
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 4: even with you know, the five man pressure, and you

1230
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 4: know Bosa got up behind him and sack, strip, fumble, recovery,

1231
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 4: scoop and score.

1232
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 2: It is that quick. That was as big a defensive

1233
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 2: play as they've made all year. Yeah, seventeen yard fumble return.

1234
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 4: With the exception maybe Benford, maybe the was fumble that

1235
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 4: Ed Oliver had against week one week Derrick Henry in

1236
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 4: Week one. Yeah, so I don't know, but that that

1237
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 4: was as big as any because that's the Bills needed it.

1238
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were trady. The Terrell Bernard interception against the Dolphins,

1239
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,080
Speaker 2: in Week three in the fourth quarter. Yeah, that was

1240
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 2: a big eie. Yeah.

1241
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, There's been a couple, but man, that was huge

1242
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 4: in that game.

1243
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was I'm trying to was that the

1244
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 2: first snap of the second half? I think it was.

1245
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 4: Yes, I believe it was the very first snap of

1246
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 4: the second half.

1247
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna double check, but I think I have that right.

1248
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 2: Third quarter. Yeah, first play of the second half, first

1249
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 2: and ten for the twenty six. Who doggy, that was

1250
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 2: a good one. So yeah, that's your big energy play

1251
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 2: of the week, presented by National Grid. Want to get

1252
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,879
Speaker 2: your thoughts and takeaways on the bills nineteen point victory

1253
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 2: over the Steelers to improve to eight and four on

1254
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 2: the season. Eight oh three, oh five point fifty one

1255
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 2: eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty are the numbers

1256
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 2: to jump on with us. And while we wait for

1257
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 2: you to do that, we'll check on the tweet seet

1258
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 2: tweet sheet side of things. Tweet sheet brought to you

1259
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 2: by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving companies of

1260
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills and Jesus' Life, says Alec Anderson brings

1261
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 2: the nasty keep him on the field. He does bring

1262
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 2: an edge. I don't think there's any question about that.

1263
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 2: And it was interesting listening to him in the post game.

1264
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 2: He had an interview at his locker after the game,

1265
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 2: and he dropped an expletive that had to be edited

1266
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 2: out from our postgame video files. That was funny. But

1267
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 2: I was taken by his discussion about technique and how

1268
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 2: he and Ryan Vandermark really focused on their technique this

1269
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 2: week on the run plays that they were going to

1270
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:57,759
Speaker 2: be calling through the course of the game. They really

1271
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 2: honed in on their technique through the practice week because

1272
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 2: when you are facing a player that might be of

1273
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 2: higher caliber than you TJ. Watt, for example, the only

1274
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 2: thing that can save you is your technique. If you

1275
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 2: play superior technique, you can win against a player who

1276
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 2: is more physically gifted than you. And I think in

1277
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 2: most of the instances yesterday afternoon, Anderson and Vandermark were

1278
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:33,760
Speaker 2: able to accomplish that by playing superior technique and executing.

1279
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 2: So it's interesting to hear him comment on how much

1280
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 2: of a focus that was for them in the practice week,

1281
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:41,759
Speaker 2: because it made a difference.

1282
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 4: It does make a difference, and that's that's the biggest difference. Well,

1283
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 4: it's one of the biggest difference between college players and

1284
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 4: pro players. Pro players talk about hand placement, foot placement, stance,

1285
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 4: your technique, how high do you put your hands worthy,

1286
01:10:58,080 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 4: you know, the.

1287
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 2: Whole thing very new resetting your hands.

1288
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really nuanced and they spend a lot of

1289
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:05,759
Speaker 4: time talking about it, and it makes all the difference

1290
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 4: in the world.

1291
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 2: And for the reasons.

1292
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 4: You said, you're no matter how good you are, you're

1293
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 4: gonna go against somebody who's better at some point.

1294
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,839
Speaker 2: You gotta have a plan. Cold front on the tweets

1295
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,959
Speaker 2: sheet says Shaq Thompson is the leader for the defense.

1296
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 2: Tyrrel Shavers was the unsung hero, setting the edge, three

1297
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 2: headed monster, bringing the heat all day. Great dub Yeah.

1298
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 2: I think we thought going in, based on the limitations

1299
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 2: for the offense, knowing who they were going to have

1300
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 2: and not going to have in the lineup, that it

1301
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 2: was going to be a grinded out game and to

1302
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 2: be able to exert your will on the opponent on

1303
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:52,480
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball was nothing short of impressive

1304
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:54,640
Speaker 2: by the Bills. Is that the formula for them to

1305
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 2: win every week? No, because there is going to come

1306
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 2: a point in time where they're going to face a

1307
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 2: really good run defense Week fifteen, when they have to

1308
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 2: play the number two run defense in football in the

1309
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 2: New England Patriots, who were giving up eighty seven yards

1310
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 2: a game on the ground. You're gonna have to come

1311
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,679
Speaker 2: up with some other answers besides just plowing the ball

1312
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:19,560
Speaker 2: into the pile for the entire game. But for yesterday,

1313
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 2: that was the formula, and kudos to them for sticking

1314
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 2: to it, because I think there have been some run

1315
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 2: games this season. There have been some game plans this

1316
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 2: season on the road where they did not stick with

1317
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 2: the run game long enough, even though they got they

1318
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 2: got off to a slow start yesterday yea as slow

1319
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 2: as you could get, and still stuck with the run

1320
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 2: game as they should well. And there were some other

1321
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 2: instances this season on the road where they've gotten off

1322
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 2: to slow starts. The opponent didn't run off and leave them,

1323
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 2: and they moved away from the run game and tried

1324
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 2: to throw their way out of it and it did

1325
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 2: not work. So I'm glad they kind of learned from

1326
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 2: earlier lessons on the road and said look, And part

1327
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,800
Speaker 2: of it was by necessity because they didn't have tackles

1328
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 2: that they felt could protect long enough against the Steelers

1329
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 2: pass rush that was fifth in the league in sacks

1330
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 2: with thirty four. So part of it was out of necessity,

1331
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 2: but sticking with it I thought was critically important.

1332
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, they they played complimentary football yesterday. The defense held

1333
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 4: their into the bargain up, particularly in the beginning of

1334
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 4: the second half, and the offense got on track for

1335
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 4: whatever it took. And some of our tweet sheet is

1336
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 4: going to refer to that some of the problems Bill's

1337
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 4: face were of their own making, as we've said all

1338
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 4: through this season, and.

1339
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 2: They had two more turnovers again yesterday. That's got to stop.

1340
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 2: That's the crusher. Christine on the tweets sheets said, we

1341
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 2: had a great plan and stuck with what was working,

1342
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 2: but they have all got to come up with a

1343
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:50,799
Speaker 2: way to get fired up when games start. Absolutely cannot

1344
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:52,600
Speaker 2: wait for the second half to figure it out, and

1345
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 2: I believe it's the main reason we have the four losses.

1346
01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 2: Let's go. I could not agree with Christine Moore. This

1347
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 2: team has got to get off to better starts, and

1348
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 2: it begins this Sunday, YEA. Because you can get off to

1349
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 2: a slow start against that offense that can put points up, Cincinnati,

1350
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna be down by two touchdowns. Yeah, they can

1351
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 2: light it up.

1352
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 4: They've got two number one receivers on the outside and

1353
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 4: they use them. And their quarterback Burrow came back and

1354
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,679
Speaker 4: looked really good and his first came back.

1355
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:23,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, there wasn't a lot of russ there.

1356
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 4: No, And they played and they played the Baltimore Ravens,

1357
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 4: who the Bills know is are tough customers and Cincinnati

1358
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 4: hung thirty two on those guys and only gave up fourteen.

1359
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,680
Speaker 4: And Cincinnati's defense has been notoriously poor and they gave

1360
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 4: up fourteen points to the Baltimore Ravens. That's a wake

1361
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:45,679
Speaker 4: up call for everybody who's got them on their schedule.

1362
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have gotten better on the defensive side of

1363
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 2: the ball as the year has worn on. They're still

1364
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 2: not great, but Cincinnati's defense has become serviceable. And with

1365
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow in the lineup, you've got a greater chance

1366
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 2: as the Cincinnati defense to play from a head. And

1367
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 2: they still haven't had Hendrickson back in the lineup yet.

1368
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 2: He's still been out with an injury, so see what

1369
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 2: his status is for this week's game. Mason on the

1370
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 2: tweets sheet says that when Josh Allen was hit late,

1371
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 2: that flipped a switch in this team. I could not

1372
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 2: agree more with that as well, Mason. I thought it

1373
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 2: put a charge into the offense, who played considerably better

1374
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 2: and with more mojo after that late hit by Patrick.

1375
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 4: I felt like Josh tucked the ball a couple of

1376
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 4: times just because he wanted to run. I thought when

1377
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 4: Josh got involved in the run game the way he

1378
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 4: did that also kind of turned it up for the offense,

1379
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 4: because you know, when Josh goes like that, you can

1380
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 4: imagine that the antenna on all the offensive linemen that

1381
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 4: everybody on the team go up because you know, you know,

1382
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:51,560
Speaker 4: everybody's paycheck.

1383
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 2: Is running with Josh, right.

1384
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 4: I mean, if something happens to him, there's an issue,

1385
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 4: and so everybody's in it. When he starts doing that,

1386
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:08,640
Speaker 4: everybody's you know, antenna go up big time. And it

1387
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,719
Speaker 4: did turn out, it did flip a switch for this team,

1388
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 4: and that's you know, it's not going to change. I

1389
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 4: just you know, you got to you got to have

1390
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:18,599
Speaker 4: him to win football games.

1391
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 2: And and I.

1392
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 4: Think I thought they went a little bit too much

1393
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 4: to it this game, and for me in retrospect, it did.

1394
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,720
Speaker 4: But that eight yard touchdown run he had at the

1395
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 4: end of the game, and you know, it was unbelievable.

1396
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:35,640
Speaker 4: I mean, he got stopped at the four and and

1397
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 4: pushed it in and the old guys jumped on his

1398
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 4: back and they let the play run out and it

1399
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 4: was no doubt it was a touchdown and that was it.

1400
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 4: That was the backbreaker for the entire game. But Josh,

1401
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 4: this team goes offensively as Josh goes, let's face it,

1402
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 4: and when he runs the football, it does set a

1403
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:56,599
Speaker 4: tone that the other guys seem to follow.

1404
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and to Ken Ain't

1405
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 2: in Indiana. What's up, Kenny?

1406
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:06,680
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, happy victory Monday. Indeed, Hey, I got to

1407
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 13: say what really stood out to me yesterday, and I

1408
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 13: know you guys have already talked about it on the show,

1409
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 13: was the tackling. I think everybody all season has been saying,

1410
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:19,799
Speaker 13: why can't these guys tackle? And I don't think there's

1411
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 13: any coincidence that probably their best tackling game of the

1412
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 13: day was when Shaq Thompson was starting at linebacker and

1413
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 13: this guy opened my eyes, seriously opened my eyes in

1414
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 13: the Carolina game. I thought he was the catalyst of

1415
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 13: the performance in that game, and then he was certainly

1416
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 13: the catalyst yesterday. And my point here is, you know

1417
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 13: what it is where it is now pedal to the medal.

1418
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 13: You know, keep Shaq Thompson out there. I don't see

1419
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 13: any reason to insert Terrel Bernard back into the starting lineup.

1420
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 13: I really don't. And if you guys can can come

1421
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 13: up with something to change my mind, I'd love to

1422
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 13: hear it because I'd like to see Shaq Thompson staying

1423
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:00,759
Speaker 13: on the field.

1424
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hear what you're saying, and I don't have

1425
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,799
Speaker 4: a problem with it, no question about it.

1426
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 2: It does.

1427
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 4: It did give them an uptick. And I said it

1428
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 4: on the postgame Live last night and also in Bill's tonight.

1429
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 4: I thought the tackling was markedly better yesterday against the Steelers.

1430
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 4: I thought that was the difference in their defensive effort.

1431
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 4: First guy to the ball made the.

1432
01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 2: Tackle, you usually got the guy on the ground, right. Yeah,

1433
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 2: And that's that's the secret to playing good defense. And

1434
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:31,680
Speaker 2: I think part of the reason why that happened was

1435
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 2: because the gap integrity was as good as we have

1436
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 2: seen it. Defensive players were in their assigned gaps to

1437
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,839
Speaker 2: make a play if the ball carrier came to their gap.

1438
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 2: They weren't racing to fill a gap that was for

1439
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 2: some reason empty. They were in position. And when you

1440
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 2: are in the right position, your body is in a

1441
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 2: proper position to make a form tackle. When you don't

1442
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 2: have gap integrity, and you have played players racing to

1443
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 2: spots late, they're reaching to try to make an arm tackle,

1444
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 2: or they're lowering their head so they don't see what

1445
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 2: they're hitting. And a guy bounces off a tackle and

1446
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:14,440
Speaker 2: he's going for extra yardage. That did not happen yesterday.

1447
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 2: And proof of that is that the longest run the

1448
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 2: Steelers had yesterday was twelve yards. That's proof of that.

1449
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 2: So yes, it was a good job by the defensive

1450
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 2: group in the run defense, for sure. Let's go to

1451
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 2: Brian in Washington next. Let me punch him up here.

1452
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:31,719
Speaker 2: What's up, Brian?

1453
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 10: Hey, Hey, Chris A.

1454
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 12: Steve A longtime listener, first time caller. Thanks for taking

1455
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,639
Speaker 12: my call, guys for doing it. First of all, great win.

1456
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 12: The defense has been playing their hearts out the last

1457
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 12: few games. But I wanted to kind of talk about

1458
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 12: Joe Brady. I'm not really the kind of guy. It

1459
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 12: calls for people to get fired and everything. And I'm

1460
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:53,680
Speaker 12: not saying we get rid of him this year, but

1461
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,080
Speaker 12: I think after this year, I think we need to

1462
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 12: replace him. I mean, you guys have been talking about

1463
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 12: like play calls getting in lay. We've been talking about

1464
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 12: game plans that have been having an issues. The last

1465
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 12: game against Houston, they had the game script and they

1466
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 12: called the passing plays and the first few get fused,

1467
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 12: first few downs by and not adjusting to the fact

1468
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 12: that we're behind our own ten yard line. We get

1469
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:24,320
Speaker 12: late adjustments on the play and on the playscripts. The

1470
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 12: schemes aren't scheming people open. And this is all stuff

1471
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 12: that you guys have been talking about a lot over

1472
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 12: the past few weeks, and so you know, when I

1473
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 12: hear that kind of stuff, it really speaks to me

1474
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 12: that the offensive coordinator is the problem on those things.

1475
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 12: So I want to kind of hear what you guys

1476
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:42,679
Speaker 12: think about that in the long term, if you wouldn't

1477
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:45,759
Speaker 12: mind answering those questions, and I'll hang up and listen

1478
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 12: to you guys. Thanks a lot for taking my call.

1479
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you sure thing, Brian. I don't think you can

1480
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:52,439
Speaker 2: put it all in one bucket, as you're trying to do, Brian,

1481
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 2: You're trying to put all of the offensive problems in

1482
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator, play calling, scheming bucket. And I don't

1483
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 2: think it's one thing in totality that has led to

1484
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:07,640
Speaker 2: the inconsistencies that we have witnessed on offense. I think

1485
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 2: it's a part of it, and you can point to

1486
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,479
Speaker 2: examples over the course of the season where it has

1487
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:15,599
Speaker 2: been part of the problem. And Joe Brady, to his credit,

1488
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 2: has admitted as much. After the lowest point output of

1489
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 2: the season in Miami, he said, I should have gotten

1490
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 2: I should have pivoted and turned to the passing game

1491
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 2: sooner because there were plays to be made against that

1492
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:32,920
Speaker 2: Dolphins defense, which is not great against the pass. And

1493
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 2: he put it on himself for not turning to that

1494
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 2: portion of their offense sooner and felt it cost them

1495
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:44,919
Speaker 2: in that game. And then in the game against Houston

1496
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 2: he said he put it on himself for not changing

1497
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 2: the game plan quickly enough there to better protect their quarterback.

1498
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 2: So when he has come up short in what his

1499
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 2: responsibilities are for this offense, to his credit, he has

1500
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 2: owned it. But I think there are other factors at

1501
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 2: play too, one of which is this team's mojo on

1502
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:16,439
Speaker 2: the road. On offense. We saw it again yesterday. First quarter.

1503
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,280
Speaker 2: Not a lot of mojo as far as I'm concerned.

1504
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 2: I mean, for me, I'm not only looking at what

1505
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 2: fans at home are forced to look at, which are

1506
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 2: the TV angles of the game. I can look at

1507
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 2: what's going on on the field, and not only during

1508
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 2: the play, but after the play. I can see body language,

1509
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 2: I can see the demeanor of the bill's sideline. I

1510
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 2: can see just about everything because I'm standing there and

1511
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 2: I can look at whatever I want to. I'm not

1512
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 2: beholden to what the television networks are showing you at home.

1513
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 2: No mojo in the first quarter on offense. I don't

1514
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 2: know where it was, but it was not there. James

1515
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 2: Cook did a good job with some runs that he

1516
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 2: used his own creativity to make it work, you know,

1517
01:22:57,280 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 2: bending back some of those inside zone runs all the

1518
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 2: way to the other side and out raising corners to

1519
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 2: the edge, and he made some nice plays. But the

1520
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 2: collective mojo, energy, urgency, intensity was not there until Josh

1521
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 2: Allen got hit late. It just wasn't. That's on the players,

1522
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 2: because as Steve says all the time, if you need

1523
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 2: a coach to fire up players to get ready to play,

1524
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 2: you don't have the right players. And that's got to

1525
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 2: be discovered internally by the players on offense at the

1526
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 2: start of a game, and it has not been there,

1527
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 2: particularly on the road this season, and it's put the

1528
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 2: team in a hole on the scoreboard.

1529
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 4: You think about it midway, it was midway through the

1530
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 4: second quarter. Their possessions were that they opened up with

1531
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 4: an interception, then they punted, they punted again, then they

1532
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 4: fumbled it away, and then they got the field goal

1533
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 4: right before halftime on a sixteen play drive that went

1534
01:23:56,680 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 4: sixty yards net sixty yards for the field goal. They

1535
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 4: were horrible offensively in the first half, and Brownie's right,

1536
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 4: it's easy for all of us out here to put

1537
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 4: everything on Joe Brady to fix it, but there are

1538
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 4: limitations that every offensive coordinator has, first of all, his personnel,

1539
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 4: the injuries, what his offensive line wants to do, and

1540
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 4: also his relationship and the head coach and the way

1541
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 4: the game plays out. As head coach may be saying, listen,

1542
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 4: we're not out of this, keep running the football, or

1543
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:33,680
Speaker 4: his head coach might be putting pressure on him to

1544
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 4: open it up a little bit that that relationship is

1545
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 4: in there as well. There's been a lot of conversation

1546
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 4: about how Sean McDermott has, at some point or other

1547
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 4: started calling defenses once in a while. You don't think

1548
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 4: he's got a voice on what's going on with the offense.

1549
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 4: So there's a lot in this that causes them to

1550
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:53,760
Speaker 4: struggle out of the gate.

1551
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,679
Speaker 2: And I'll give you another one on the road turnovers, right,

1552
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 2: that's not on the coaches. That's a player turning the

1553
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 2: ball over multiple times in multiple road games this season.

1554
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 2: I think all but two the Bills have had multiple

1555
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,759
Speaker 2: turnovers in road games. That and it happened again yesterday.

1556
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 2: That's gotta stop too. That's not the coordinator. That's player problem.

1557
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 2: You go because you go to the second half, and

1558
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:23,759
Speaker 2: because the second half they've got four they've got three,

1559
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, they've only got three drives in the

1560
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 2: second half, three possessions and they go touchdown, touchdown, field goal.

1561
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 2: So if they didn't turn it over, their offense was

1562
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 2: actually moving it really well. If you didn't notice three

1563
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 2: possessions in the second half, one was eight plays for

1564
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:45,440
Speaker 2: a touchdown the other was fifteen plays for a touchdown

1565
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 2: and the others fourteen plays for a field goal. I

1566
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 2: mean they Pittsburgh couldn't even get the ball, so once

1567
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,720
Speaker 2: they quit turning it over, it got better for him.

1568
01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 2: And that's not that's not an offensive coordinator or a

1569
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 2: head coach problem. It's a personnel problem, because it's the players.

1570
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, more of your phone calls.

1571
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 2: When we come back, We'll lead off with Willye on

1572
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 2: the east side when we return. On a Buffalo victory

1573
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 2: Monday on One Bill's Live presented by Colida Health, it's

1574
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills Radio back to passes Rudolph looking left and

1575
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 2: it's intercepted, picked off by Bedford. It was intended for

1576
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 2: Darnell Washington and Bedford has his second.

1577
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:40,639
Speaker 3: Takeaway of the game.

1578
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 2: This week's Clean Play of the Week is presented by Tide.

1579
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 2: If it's got to be clean, it's got to be tied.

1580
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 2: Ben Ford's interception off Mason Rudolph, who came in for

1581
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 2: an injured Aaron Rodgers turned it over. It's pretty hard

1582
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 2: to overthrow a six foot seven tight ends.

1583
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:02,600
Speaker 4: Now he did it, though he did do it, and

1584
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 4: it was his I think it was his only pass

1585
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 4: attempt of the game.

1586
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because they turned it over. Bill's go in

1587
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,599
Speaker 2: and score. And then by that time Aaron Rodgers had

1588
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:13,679
Speaker 2: cut his nose taped and came back in the game.

1589
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 2: Not that he was any more effective, he was not.

1590
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 2: He had a turnover, Rudolph had a turnover. Yeah, and

1591
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 2: Rudolph had played a pretty good game the week before.

1592
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 2: I would call it an efficient performance. He was twenty

1593
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:28,439
Speaker 2: four of thirty one for one hundred and seventy one

1594
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:32,640
Speaker 2: yards with a touchdown and an interception as the Steelers,

1595
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 2: despite three first half takeaways, lost thirty one to twenty

1596
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,600
Speaker 2: eight to the Chicago Bears. In the first half, the

1597
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 2: Steelers had an interception, a fumble recovery and a strip

1598
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 2: sack fumble recovery in the end zone for a defensive touchdown,

1599
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 2: were leading twenty to six and lost thirty one to

1600
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 2: twenty eight. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers was ten of twenty one

1601
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 2: in this game, ten of twenty one, and he you

1602
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 2: know how the Bills kryptonid are the Houston Texans on

1603
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 2: the road for the last un teen years. Aaron Rodgers

1604
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 2: is now three or five lifetime against the Bills. He

1605
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 2: has his lowest career completion percentage against any opponent against

1606
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 2: the Bills, fifty six and a half percent. And he

1607
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 2: has the lowest passer rating in his career against a

1608
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:27,960
Speaker 2: single opponent, the Bills, it's seventy two and change. And

1609
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 2: he has the lowest touchdown to interception ratio of his

1610
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 2: career against the Bills seven touchdowns, seven picks. In his

1611
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 2: now eight career games against Buffalo three and five against them,

1612
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 2: And one of those wins was the four play I

1613
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 2: ruptured my achilles game against the Jets. That's one of

1614
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 2: his three wins against the Bills. Yeah, in which he

1615
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:55,719
Speaker 2: did not throw a pass. That is rough. How about

1616
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,960
Speaker 2: that matens that? Yeah, the Steelers are in a wreck today.

1617
01:28:59,040 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 2: And I said it early.

1618
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:02,680
Speaker 4: I think there's some real soul searching going on in

1619
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh with the Steelers about their defense, the condition of

1620
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 4: their roster, their coaching staff, everything, because that was that

1621
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 4: was a jarring loss the way it happened to the

1622
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:17,599
Speaker 4: Steelers in their building. You said it, I mean it's

1623
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,439
Speaker 4: been since oj that somebody ran that many for that

1624
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 4: many yards on them in their building.

1625
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:24,799
Speaker 2: And that was at three rivers. That wasn't at Heinz

1626
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 2: Field or the Akroschure Stadium. It was.

1627
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 4: I mean, they've never they're in a shambles right now,

1628
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 4: they're in a shambles.

1629
01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 2: It's a bad spot. It's a bad spot for them,

1630
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 2: for sure. Their offense is a pop gun offense. There's

1631
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 2: no two ways around it. It's chuck it up to

1632
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 2: metcalf or throw a short pass to Darnell Washington and

1633
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:49,720
Speaker 2: hope he can run over the entire secondary, which might

1634
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:52,040
Speaker 2: happen once in a while, could do it, and then

1635
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 2: try to utilize Kenny gainwell like the Dolphins used von

1636
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 2: A Chan and hope he can break one for you.

1637
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 2: That's the scope of their offense in a nutshell. Yeah,

1638
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:07,679
Speaker 2: it's rough because you know, as we know. I mean,

1639
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 2: if you look at it, and I mentioned this in

1640
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 2: the pregame roundtable on the Bills Radio Network, Aaron Rodgers

1641
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 2: at this stage of his career is more like two

1642
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 2: a tongue of ioloa than he is prime time, prime

1643
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 2: of his career. Aaron Rodgers because he can't move around

1644
01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 2: well enough anymore to be a second reaction thrower, which

1645
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 2: was some of the best things that he did as

1646
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:36,240
Speaker 2: a quarterback for the Packers. For all those I think

1647
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:38,760
Speaker 2: he can't be a second reaction player anymore. He has

1648
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 2: to be an anticipatory thrower, just like to He's get

1649
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:42,599
Speaker 2: it out fast.

1650
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:44,760
Speaker 4: He's still better, has a better arm than to us. Yes,

1651
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:49,160
Speaker 4: and he's still as just as accurate. Yes, But you're right.

1652
01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 4: The ball has to come out and right now. DK

1653
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:57,080
Speaker 4: metcalf isn't the type of receiver, even though he's a big,

1654
01:30:57,200 --> 01:30:59,600
Speaker 4: strong dude, he's not the type of receiver with a

1655
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:02,000
Speaker 4: complax route tree that's gonna go out and just get open.

1656
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:04,440
Speaker 2: Well, don't get open early in the down right.

1657
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 4: And that's a problem for the way their offense is

1658
01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 4: being run. So yeah, there, it's a struggle fest.

1659
01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:15,679
Speaker 2: Right now. We are going to step aside and take

1660
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 2: a break here, but when we return, my broadcast partner

Speaker 2: out of the box here, Eric, I want to ask you,

1679
01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:57,720
Speaker 2: what were you more surprised by the fact that the

1680
01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 2: Bills largely ran two run plays for most of the

1681
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:07,080
Speaker 2: game or were you more surprised that Pittsburgh at no

1682
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:10,760
Speaker 2: point in time effectively adjusted to stop it.

1683
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:16,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, I would say I'm mainly surprised that they weren't

1684
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 14: able to stop it and force the Bills to do

1685
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,280
Speaker 14: different things off of it. I mean, I continually throughout

1686
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 14: the broadcast was saying, Okay, we're showing them the same motion,

1687
01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:27,479
Speaker 14: the same formation, and the same play. At some point

1688
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:28,920
Speaker 14: something's coming off of it. There's going to be a

1689
01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:30,800
Speaker 14: play action. We did see Josh throw out of it

1690
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:32,800
Speaker 14: a couple of times in the backside slant, but that

1691
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 14: was just an old school RPO there in that situation.

1692
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:39,280
Speaker 14: That was the run play called with just a slant

1693
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:42,760
Speaker 14: on the backside of it. But to me surprising that

1694
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:47,240
Speaker 14: the Pittsburgh Steelers defense could not make adjustments. And you know,

1695
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 14: we could talk about, you know, two backup tackles on

1696
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:53,200
Speaker 14: the Bills offensive line. They maybe weren't as worried about

1697
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:56,000
Speaker 14: the receiving core with the Bills with Kikaida Palmer out.

1698
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,719
Speaker 14: You know, those guys in Alec Anderson and Ryan Vandermark,

1699
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 14: they played snaps for the Bills. Vander Mark started games,

1700
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 14: Alec Anderson's got a ton of snaps playing in a

1701
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:07,920
Speaker 14: similar role that they hadn't played for most of the

1702
01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 14: game yesterday, and that you know, blocking on the edge role.

1703
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 5: So I thought those guys stepped up adverrably.

1704
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:18,160
Speaker 14: And you know, this is a Pittsburgh team organization that's

1705
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:22,040
Speaker 14: always prided itself on being tougher than you, being more physical,

1706
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 14: than you. And that was disheartening yesterday for their organization

1707
01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:29,280
Speaker 14: and being in that stadium. I know you could hear

1708
01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:31,120
Speaker 14: it on TV as well, Steve, but being in that

1709
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 14: stadium yesterday, it almost was lifeless in the second half,

1710
01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:37,680
Speaker 14: and then it turned from lifeless to a bunch of

1711
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:38,639
Speaker 14: boot birds out there.

1712
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. And when a team has a day like that,

1713
01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:45,599
Speaker 2: as Steelers did in their own building, how much can

1714
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 2: you take away? I think it says more about the

1715
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:49,719
Speaker 2: Steelers than it does about the Bills.

1716
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 5: It could.

1717
01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:54,720
Speaker 14: I mean, this is the best rushing offensive football here.

1718
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 14: We have enough sample size through twelve games now where

1719
01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:00,280
Speaker 14: it's not an anomaly that this is likely the best

1720
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 14: rushing team in the NFL. You could bind the running

1721
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:06,880
Speaker 14: backs and especially James Cook, with the offensive line that

1722
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:08,720
Speaker 14: they have, the way the tight ends can block, and

1723
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:13,000
Speaker 14: then also the receivers, and then you combine some scheme

1724
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,519
Speaker 14: advantages that Joe Brady and Aaron Cromer have been able

1725
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 14: to create, it's likely the best rushing offense in the

1726
01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 14: entire NFL. And so yes, it's it's a black eye

1727
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 14: for the Steelers, and it says a lot about you know,

1728
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 14: kind of how they built their team and you know,

1729
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:29,720
Speaker 14: to me, this looks like in an organization that kind

1730
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:32,720
Speaker 14: of needs the bottom out. They've gotten so old on

1731
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 14: the defensive side of the football and then on the

1732
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 14: offensive side of the football. You try to put a

1733
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:39,360
Speaker 14: band aid on it by bringing Aaron Rodgers in after

1734
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:42,479
Speaker 14: you brought in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields a year ago,

1735
01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:46,960
Speaker 14: and it just doesn't look like a recipe for success. Now,

1736
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:50,080
Speaker 14: you know, they could still best around to getting the

1737
01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:52,759
Speaker 14: playoffs this year, I would I don't want say mainly,

1738
01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 14: but it helps that Lamar Jackson was hurt for part

1739
01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 14: of the year, Joe Burrow is hurt for part of

1740
01:35:57,439 --> 01:36:01,040
Speaker 14: the year. The Brown stink. You know, they didn't have

1741
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:02,240
Speaker 14: to play the first play schedule.

1742
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:02,759
Speaker 5: That helps.

1743
01:36:03,240 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 14: But to me, this team looks like a team on

1744
01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 14: the decline, and it doesn't surprise me that they started

1745
01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:11,519
Speaker 14: better than their likely finish the season based upon the

1746
01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:12,759
Speaker 14: age that they have in that building.

1747
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:16,640
Speaker 2: We saw the Bills kind of get a spark on

1748
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:19,360
Speaker 2: offense after Josh got hit laid on the slide near

1749
01:36:19,400 --> 01:36:24,480
Speaker 2: the Bill's sideline by Patrick Queen. Some fans have expressed

1750
01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:27,559
Speaker 2: a bit of a concern today that it was another

1751
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 2: slow start for the offense that appeared to be lacking

1752
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:36,719
Speaker 2: mojo until that play happened. And we've seen that happen before,

1753
01:36:37,000 --> 01:36:39,760
Speaker 2: and it's usually been in a road environment. Whether you

1754
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 2: want to look at the Atlanta game in week six,

1755
01:36:42,080 --> 01:36:45,520
Speaker 2: not a lot of mojo on offense, slow start Miami,

1756
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:49,599
Speaker 2: no points in the first half, slow start by the offense,

1757
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:54,439
Speaker 2: not a lot of mojo. How does this offense, despite

1758
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 2: their encouraging output on the ground this past week, get

1759
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:01,600
Speaker 2: off to a better start, particularly when they are on

1760
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:05,320
Speaker 2: the road, and bring the requisite energy and urgency to

1761
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:07,040
Speaker 2: the game right from the start.

1762
01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 14: Yeah, I understand the fans' concerns. To me, it's not

1763
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:16,479
Speaker 14: as much of an energy concern from the start. It's

1764
01:37:16,479 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 14: an execution from the start. Execution generally brings energy. It's

1765
01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:23,640
Speaker 14: more fun when you're executing at a high level. To me,

1766
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:25,920
Speaker 14: when they've struggled at times on the road, it's getting

1767
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 14: behind the sticks and whether that's penalties, whether that's lost

1768
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:33,160
Speaker 14: yardage plays early in drives that stalls them out offensively

1769
01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:35,840
Speaker 14: against Houston first drive, I believe it was the first

1770
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:37,560
Speaker 14: drive of the game. When James Cook goes down and

1771
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 14: scores that long touchdown and you know we didn't say, yeah,

1772
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:46,719
Speaker 14: they started slow energy wise against them, But even yesterday

1773
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:50,360
Speaker 14: in the first half, when you're playing without Palmer kincaid,

1774
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:52,920
Speaker 14: it's gonna be harder to pass protect with two new

1775
01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 14: tackles in there. You know, you get those offsides penalties,

1776
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 14: you get a couple of negative yardage plays, you get

1777
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,599
Speaker 14: an interception by Josh and leaves you with three points.

1778
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,040
Speaker 14: The margin praier with those guys out, and the limitations

1779
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:08,880
Speaker 14: right now in the passing game hasn't necessarily given you

1780
01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 14: much wiggle room. So when you hurt yourself, especially on

1781
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:16,040
Speaker 14: the road, with penalties or lost yardage plays early and

1782
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:18,280
Speaker 14: drives and you're not able to run the footballs effectively,

1783
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:21,559
Speaker 14: then you see these drawstyle stall out and.

1784
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:23,880
Speaker 2: I did see.

1785
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:26,680
Speaker 14: You know it's going to give you an edge when

1786
01:38:26,760 --> 01:38:29,560
Speaker 14: something like that happens your quarterback, and you know that

1787
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:33,280
Speaker 14: sometimes is great and other times if everyone comes out

1788
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 14: guns a blazing from the start, you know, hair on

1789
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 14: fire like a mad man, you might not play your

1790
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:42,479
Speaker 14: best football. You might play ondisciplined, you might do some

1791
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:46,160
Speaker 14: things you're not supposed to out there schematically technique wise,

1792
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,800
Speaker 14: if you're not playing kind of in that sweet spot

1793
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 14: of intensity level. But I say all that I understand

1794
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:57,280
Speaker 14: and visibly that's what it appears at times. I think,

1795
01:38:57,360 --> 01:38:59,640
Speaker 14: to me, the life gets sucked out of them offensively

1796
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:04,759
Speaker 14: when they have the penalties and turnovers and los yarge plays,

1797
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:06,680
Speaker 14: and then the other team gets the tee off on them,

1798
01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:09,599
Speaker 14: and that's when they become a pretty prodectionate offense.

1799
01:39:10,160 --> 01:39:12,360
Speaker 4: Certainly, this game didn't played out the way it did,

1800
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,719
Speaker 4: and the passing game of the Bills wasn't really called

1801
01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:20,040
Speaker 4: on to carry the day. But when that day comes,

1802
01:39:20,080 --> 01:39:22,759
Speaker 4: and it may welcome this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals,

1803
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 4: what do you think needs to happen?

1804
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:25,479
Speaker 2: What should it look like?

1805
01:39:27,479 --> 01:39:27,679
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1806
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,840
Speaker 14: I think in recent weeks, especially when you look at

1807
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:34,160
Speaker 14: the Buccaneers game and then at times yesterday, some of

1808
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:37,040
Speaker 14: the creativity in the passing game has helped, whether it's

1809
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:41,320
Speaker 14: been designed passes to running backs, some confusion in the backfield.

1810
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:44,799
Speaker 14: You know, we saw a comeback to Brandon Cooks yesterday.

1811
01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:46,920
Speaker 14: We haven't seen a lot of comeback routes on the

1812
01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:49,120
Speaker 14: outside throughout the season. It seems like we're getting some

1813
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:52,880
Speaker 14: more variety which can help this offense. Play action certainly

1814
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:55,360
Speaker 14: has been a strong suit of the offense the entire year.

1815
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 14: But that requires you to stay in, you know, manageable

1816
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 14: down and disc since or else the play action. It's

1817
01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:02,720
Speaker 14: not going to be much of a fake if you're

1818
01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:05,800
Speaker 14: sitting there at second and eleven or a penalty backs

1819
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 14: you up. But you know, hopefully, you know, with both

1820
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:12,600
Speaker 14: guys limited last week, you get kin K back, you

1821
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:16,599
Speaker 14: get Palmer backed. Hopefully those guys back in the lineup

1822
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:18,639
Speaker 14: can boost this passing game.

1823
01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 2: Looking on the defensive side of the ball, coach McDermott

1824
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:26,360
Speaker 2: was asked about Jack Thompson's performance. He said he did

1825
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 2: a solid job at the middle linebacker spot. He led

1826
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 2: the team in tackles with nine and brought a physical

1827
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 2: edge that we have seen from him before for this defense.

1828
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 2: And coach McDermott even shared postgame that Thompson got up

1829
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:43,600
Speaker 2: in front of the defensive unit at the end of

1830
01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 2: the week and demanded their best performance of the season.

1831
01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 2: And I would argue that was probably the best tackling

1832
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 2: performance we have seen from the defense this season. More

1833
01:40:56,600 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 2: often than not, the first guy to the ball got

1834
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 2: the ball carrier on the ground. We didn't see plays

1835
01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:07,920
Speaker 2: leak out for extra yardage due to miss tackles. Sure,

1836
01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 2: you want to give Shaq Thompson some credit there, but

1837
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:14,120
Speaker 2: as far as gap integrity and tackling, it was probably

1838
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:18,519
Speaker 2: the best performance of the season defensively for this Bills team. Yeah.

1839
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:20,840
Speaker 14: We've been talking about his consistent play all year, but

1840
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:24,920
Speaker 14: I mean, yesterday's just further example that at the second

1841
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 14: level of defense right now, whether it's injuries or whatever

1842
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:33,240
Speaker 14: the case may be, he's our most physical, consistent linebacker.

1843
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:37,840
Speaker 14: And when you talk about, you know, performances like yesterday Carolina,

1844
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:40,559
Speaker 14: you know, those have been some of our better rushing

1845
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:41,720
Speaker 14: defense for.

1846
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:45,720
Speaker 5: For second half.

1847
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:51,760
Speaker 14: All right, I think we lost Aaron got hurt at

1848
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:52,880
Speaker 14: times that he's been in the game.

1849
01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:58,040
Speaker 4: Yeah you're back, Yeah, he popped out for just a second, Eric,

1850
01:41:58,080 --> 01:41:58,479
Speaker 4: go ahead.

1851
01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:00,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, technology is fun.

1852
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:04,080
Speaker 14: But when you look at the games at the times

1853
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:06,840
Speaker 14: he's been in there, that's been when this Bill's rush

1854
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:08,519
Speaker 14: defense has been at its best.

1855
01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:09,960
Speaker 3: And you know, some of the.

1856
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:14,000
Speaker 14: Concern was hamstring injury. At training camp, hamstring popped up again.

1857
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:18,559
Speaker 14: He's coming off of achilles. Can he play the full season? Well,

1858
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,120
Speaker 14: now we're in the final stretch. I think he's got

1859
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:25,479
Speaker 14: to be out there. I mean and maybe it's a

1860
01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:30,559
Speaker 14: rotational thing where on running, you know, run situations first

1861
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 14: at ten, second and medium, he's out there and you

1862
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 14: platoon him. I'm not sure how that goes. You know,

1863
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,720
Speaker 14: certainly Treelberdard's played at a high level, a very high

1864
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:41,000
Speaker 14: level when he's been healthy here in Buffalo. So I'm

1865
01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:42,640
Speaker 14: not saying you take the captain off the field of

1866
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:45,960
Speaker 14: your defense. But man, if I'm looking at the tape,

1867
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 14: I'm saying, this guy's got to be out there and

1868
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:51,280
Speaker 14: he's got to play meaningful staffs for this defense because

1869
01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 14: it's different when he's out there.

1870
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 4: What changes this week against Cincinnati obviously a completely differently

1871
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 4: built team, built a little bit more like the Bill

1872
01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 4: than the Steelers were. What do you expect in Orchard

1873
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:04,000
Speaker 4: Park this week?

1874
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:08,120
Speaker 14: Well, you know this, this defense is gonna have to

1875
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:10,200
Speaker 14: come to play. This is a Bengals team that's found

1876
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 14: some life with Joe Burrow coming back. Heck, the defense

1877
01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:16,479
Speaker 14: is bottom of the league in almost every statistical category.

1878
01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 14: And then they play against the Ravens last week, you know,

1879
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 14: Thanksgiving night, and they didn't look very bad that night,

1880
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:25,479
Speaker 14: started off week and then you know, put their foot

1881
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 14: down and we're able to shut down the Ravens offense

1882
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:29,840
Speaker 14: for majority of the night. And so you know, a guy,

1883
01:43:30,120 --> 01:43:31,880
Speaker 14: when the best player of your team comes back and

1884
01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:33,920
Speaker 14: you give this organization some hope.

1885
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:36,679
Speaker 5: The defense played better as well.

1886
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:39,599
Speaker 14: And so this is a Bengals team that finds themselves,

1887
01:43:39,640 --> 01:43:42,639
Speaker 14: I believe, two games out of first place and they're

1888
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 14: gonna come in Hungary and this is the Bengals team.

1889
01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:46,559
Speaker 5: That's what Joe Burrow's had our number.

1890
01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:50,600
Speaker 14: And you know that won't be lost on many of

1891
01:43:50,640 --> 01:43:52,559
Speaker 14: these guys in this locker room that I played against them.

1892
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:54,160
Speaker 14: But they got to be buttoned up against this Bengals

1893
01:43:54,200 --> 01:43:57,160
Speaker 14: team because a lot better than their four net record

1894
01:43:57,200 --> 01:44:00,720
Speaker 14: would show you. And defensively, they got a couple guys

1895
01:44:00,760 --> 01:44:03,240
Speaker 14: that could rush the passer and they've been dashed this

1896
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 14: season on the ground as well. I believe they've given

1897
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 14: up a round or maybe even over five thousand yards

1898
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 14: on the season so far.

1899
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:10,479
Speaker 5: Which is almost unheard of.

1900
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:13,360
Speaker 14: But this is a team with some new life now

1901
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:16,599
Speaker 14: with Burrow back at quarterback and us beating the Steelers

1902
01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:19,120
Speaker 14: and beating the Ravens last week, they found themselves back

1903
01:44:19,160 --> 01:44:19,360
Speaker 14: in it.

1904
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:23,519
Speaker 2: One last thing on the run game, Eric James Cook

1905
01:44:23,560 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 2: had his seventh one hundred yard rushing day of the

1906
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 2: season that leads the league, and he's now just eighty

1907
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:33,920
Speaker 2: two yards behind Jonathan Taylor for the rushing lead in

1908
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:38,439
Speaker 2: the NFL. He's got New England, the number two run

1909
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:41,320
Speaker 2: defense on the schedule. He's got Philadelphia, which can be

1910
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:44,040
Speaker 2: a good run defense, although most would say they've underachieved

1911
01:44:44,080 --> 01:44:47,520
Speaker 2: this year. And then there are some lesser run defenses

1912
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:51,200
Speaker 2: like Cincinnati this week. What do you think Cook's chances

1913
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 2: are to flirt with the rushing title here the rest

1914
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:53,880
Speaker 2: of the way.

1915
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:57,680
Speaker 14: I certainly think he has a great chance, especially when

1916
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 14: you consider we have three home games that are going

1917
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:02,600
Speaker 14: to be cold, likely some wind. We're gonna have to

1918
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:06,240
Speaker 14: likely establish the ground game. And then you play against

1919
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 14: the Browns at their place, and you know you're probably

1920
01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:12,040
Speaker 14: not trying to drop back forty times going against Miles Garrett,

1921
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:15,160
Speaker 14: who's going after the single season sack record himself, and

1922
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:17,680
Speaker 14: so you know, he's definitely got a shot at it.

1923
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:20,560
Speaker 14: To me, you know, I love the way I know

1924
01:45:20,720 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 14: James Cooks set a you know, personal record for most

1925
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:25,640
Speaker 14: carries in the game yesterday, but I also like the

1926
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 14: way that they mixed in Davis at times yesterday to

1927
01:45:29,280 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 14: take a little bit of the load off of him,

1928
01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:34,120
Speaker 14: and that happens when you have forty two minutes of

1929
01:45:34,200 --> 01:45:35,840
Speaker 14: time of possession. You're gonna have to get some other

1930
01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:38,640
Speaker 14: guys in there. But very impressed by him. I've been

1931
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 14: impressed by him the entire season. I know you had

1932
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:42,920
Speaker 14: to bubble yesterday. That was the low light of the

1933
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:46,040
Speaker 14: game for him. But just the way that he's able

1934
01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:52,800
Speaker 14: to be a combination of vision and speed and physicality

1935
01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:53,960
Speaker 14: at the contact point.

1936
01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:54,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he is.

1937
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 5: He's the real deal.

1938
01:45:56,280 --> 01:46:00,320
Speaker 14: And you can't run duo thirty times in a football

1939
01:46:00,400 --> 01:46:03,040
Speaker 14: game if you don't have a running back with great vision.

1940
01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:05,719
Speaker 14: He's reading it perfectly on the front side, he kicks

1941
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:08,000
Speaker 14: it outside, he goes into tax corners, and then whenever

1942
01:46:08,040 --> 01:46:09,400
Speaker 14: one over pursues, he comes.

1943
01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 5: Out the back door.

1944
01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:13,320
Speaker 14: You know, do It was one of those plays where

1945
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 14: it could look like different plays and it looks like

1946
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:17,559
Speaker 14: it's hitting in different spots and the same blocking team

1947
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 14: for us. It's just where the defense fits it and

1948
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:23,439
Speaker 14: how the running back wants to take it. And gosh,

1949
01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 14: he's good at that. I mean, we've over the years,

1950
01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:29,360
Speaker 14: you know, everyone said Le'Veon Bell was the best to

1951
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:33,000
Speaker 14: run duo in the league. And I don't know, we

1952
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:35,920
Speaker 14: might be talking about James Cook in the past, you know,

1953
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,439
Speaker 14: ten or fifteen years of being able to just have

1954
01:46:38,640 --> 01:46:41,000
Speaker 14: that vision, to be able to run the same play

1955
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:43,360
Speaker 14: over and over and make the defense pay.

1956
01:46:43,520 --> 01:46:45,160
Speaker 4: One of the things we saw in this game, and

1957
01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:48,160
Speaker 4: you spoke about it a little bit, Ty Johnson, Ray

1958
01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:52,040
Speaker 4: Davis and James Cook all, you know, all getting their opportunities,

1959
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:54,719
Speaker 4: but also two running backs on the field at once

1960
01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 4: and throwing them the football. Now, certainly not every man

1961
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:01,960
Speaker 4: and every defense is going to call for that or

1962
01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:03,920
Speaker 4: be you know, be vulnerable to it. What are your

1963
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 4: thoughts about that going forward?

1964
01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:10,559
Speaker 14: Yeah, with Kinkaid and Palmer out, you're looking at ways

1965
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:12,679
Speaker 14: you can get your best skill guys out on the field.

1966
01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:14,880
Speaker 14: And so I believe that's part of the reason for

1967
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:17,560
Speaker 14: that in the game planned yesterday. But you know, this

1968
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:20,400
Speaker 14: running back group stacked, and Todd Johnson's a heck of

1969
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:21,280
Speaker 14: a football player.

1970
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:22,720
Speaker 5: I mean, he truly is.

1971
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:26,360
Speaker 14: He's in a crowded backfield, but he plays a vital

1972
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:28,200
Speaker 14: role with the way he plays on third downs, and

1973
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:31,439
Speaker 14: I like the way they mixed him in yesterday and

1974
01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:35,599
Speaker 14: some normal down and distances that give teams something else

1975
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:38,040
Speaker 14: to prepare for, have different packages within a game play,

1976
01:47:38,080 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 14: and he picked up two first downs in the game

1977
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:42,840
Speaker 14: for US catching passes, and then also had the run

1978
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:44,799
Speaker 14: on fourth and one where he's lined up in fullback,

1979
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:46,760
Speaker 14: which is a nice wrinkle from Joe Brady and so

1980
01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 14: as critical as we've all been with Joe Brady and

1981
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 14: some situational play calls, I thought yesterday he was excellent

1982
01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:55,800
Speaker 14: throughout this game.

1983
01:47:57,160 --> 01:47:59,960
Speaker 2: Eric, thanks for the time as always, and we'll catch

1984
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:01,639
Speaker 2: you up here in Orchard Park on the weekend.

1985
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 5: Okay, sounds good. Every great week us.

1986
01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:08,200
Speaker 2: All right, that's Bill's radio color analyst Eric Wood joining

1987
01:48:08,280 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 2: us as he does every week after Bill's games for

1988
01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:13,640
Speaker 2: his thoughts on the latest performance, and his appearances are

1989
01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:20,679
Speaker 2: presented by Campbell's Chunky Soup. I'm wondering what the approach

1990
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:27,560
Speaker 2: is this week because Buffalo's defense has played better in

1991
01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:33,560
Speaker 2: recent weeks, But in light of the success of Buffalo's

1992
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:39,760
Speaker 2: run game most recently, do you utilize that run game

1993
01:48:40,200 --> 01:48:45,639
Speaker 2: against a poor Cincinnati defense to once again control time

1994
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:49,080
Speaker 2: of possession, control tempo of the game, and hopefully get

1995
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:52,280
Speaker 2: ahead on the scoreboard By finishing those drives with touchdowns

1996
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:55,479
Speaker 2: and you know, maybe giving Cincinnati fewer possessions with which

1997
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:57,320
Speaker 2: to work and score points themselves.

1998
01:48:57,720 --> 01:49:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, this is a team that but you've

1999
01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 4: given up I don't know, gave up twenty one to

2000
01:49:05,360 --> 01:49:08,240
Speaker 4: this Chiefs. You gave up thirty to the Dolphins, thirty two.

2001
01:49:08,160 --> 01:49:11,080
Speaker 2: To the Buccaneers, now that's what I'm saying, twenty three

2002
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 2: to the Texans, and then the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't

2003
01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:19,479
Speaker 2: know if their offense falls into that line, but yeah,

2004
01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:23,080
Speaker 2: I don't know sure because the Cincinnati defense cannot stop

2005
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 2: the run effectively.

2006
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 4: Well, if that's the case, then you can bet that

2007
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:28,160
Speaker 4: they're gonna get a belly full of the duo again.

2008
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:29,760
Speaker 4: You know, they're gonna double team those guys of the

2009
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:32,799
Speaker 4: play side and then slide to the second level whichever

2010
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:36,720
Speaker 4: guy where the guy fits the second level fits in

2011
01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:38,040
Speaker 4: and you're gonna let James Cook go.

2012
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:39,800
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that.

2013
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 4: And we said it at the beginning of this this

2014
01:49:45,720 --> 01:49:48,240
Speaker 4: segment or at the end of the last segment. I mean,

2015
01:49:48,280 --> 01:49:50,400
Speaker 4: I can't believe the Bills only had three possessions in

2016
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:53,200
Speaker 4: the second half, but they Yeah, but they went.

2017
01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:57,639
Speaker 2: That's but that's a picture of what you could see

2018
01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:00,800
Speaker 2: this offensive staff de pricing, at least in the game

2019
01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 2: plan meetings today and tomorrow, saying well, do we think

2020
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:08,400
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati defense isn't much better than that Pittsburgh defense.

2021
01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:11,800
Speaker 2: If we can do that in the second half where

2022
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:17,240
Speaker 2: we have seventeen minutes or eighteen twenty minutes of time

2023
01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:19,679
Speaker 2: of possession, Joe Burrow can't beat us because he doesn't

2024
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:20,040
Speaker 2: have the ball.

2025
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:23,240
Speaker 4: They had thirty seven plays in the second half of

2026
01:50:23,280 --> 01:50:26,280
Speaker 4: that game on three drives eight play drive, fifteen play drive,

2027
01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:28,320
Speaker 4: fourteen play drive. They all scored on. They scored on

2028
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:33,080
Speaker 4: all three of those drives. That's really efficient and it

2029
01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:35,600
Speaker 4: does put a lot of pressure on your opponent to

2030
01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:36,360
Speaker 4: keep pace.

2031
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:42,320
Speaker 2: I'm really curious to see what they come up with

2032
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:45,400
Speaker 2: as far as the plan, And obviously the plan will

2033
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:50,200
Speaker 2: also depend on player availability. Is Concaid back in the lineup,

2034
01:50:50,320 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 2: is Palmer back in the lineup? Obviously those will have

2035
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:55,080
Speaker 2: an impact on even so side to do offensive.

2036
01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:57,360
Speaker 4: Even so, it should those guys back in the lineup

2037
01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 4: should just make it easier to get first downs, right, Yeah,

2038
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:02,760
Speaker 4: because you'll have more options open on a third and

2039
01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:05,280
Speaker 4: medium or third and long if you get into that situation.

2040
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 4: But if you're if you're pushing the ball and you

2041
01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:13,280
Speaker 4: and the running game is you know, you're ending up

2042
01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 4: in second and three or second and two all day. Yeah,

2043
01:51:18,920 --> 01:51:21,320
Speaker 4: you could see this team doing that. You can see

2044
01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:23,120
Speaker 4: this team doing that, giving their defense a little help

2045
01:51:23,160 --> 01:51:25,720
Speaker 4: and playing some complimentary football and then figuring it out

2046
01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:29,640
Speaker 4: on defense. You know, it's no fun to think about that,

2047
01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:31,760
Speaker 4: but because you want to see John, you know, back

2048
01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:33,680
Speaker 4: up and see if Josh can keep up with Joe

2049
01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:37,360
Speaker 4: Burrow and let's go. You know, but this this roster

2050
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:40,280
Speaker 4: is not built like Cincinnati's roster, and so I think

2051
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:42,960
Speaker 4: you play to your strength. You run the football, force

2052
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:44,560
Speaker 4: him to bear up, and then it'll help you in

2053
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:47,439
Speaker 4: the passing game when you're indeed do decide to throw it.

2054
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:52,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an interesting dynamic. Yeah, as far as this

2055
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:58,240
Speaker 2: matchup is concerned, and I feel pretty good about how

2056
01:51:58,320 --> 01:52:02,080
Speaker 2: the Bills are constructed to defend the Bengals. They're designed

2057
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:05,000
Speaker 2: to stop the pass. I mean, this defense was largely

2058
01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:08,439
Speaker 2: built to stop passing games, high highly tained passing games,

2059
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:12,160
Speaker 2: and that's what Cincinnati is. So I would like to

2060
01:52:12,280 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 2: think that on the back end, they should be okay. Now,

2061
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:17,920
Speaker 2: Joey Bosa's health is going to be a big part

2062
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:21,080
Speaker 2: of that this week because he left last yesterday's game

2063
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:23,960
Speaker 2: with a amstring injury. We do not know the severity

2064
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:26,920
Speaker 2: of that. We'll presumably find out a little bit more

2065
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:30,439
Speaker 2: about what his condition is when head coach Sean McDermot

2066
01:52:30,479 --> 01:52:34,839
Speaker 2: addresses the media later this afternoon at four. His presence

2067
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:37,760
Speaker 2: in the lineup will be important because you have to

2068
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:40,280
Speaker 2: get heat on Burrow, who gets the ball out awfully fast.

2069
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 2: So that's another thing to monitor as the week wear

2070
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:47,559
Speaker 2: z Ott, We'll take a break here, but we'll get

2071
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:50,280
Speaker 2: back to your phone calls on a Buffalo victory Monday.

2089
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:54,120
Speaker 15: Hey, good afternoon, guys. Happy victory Monday.

2090
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:54,519
Speaker 2: Yep.

2091
01:53:54,640 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 15: You know those statistics you just gave on Josh Okay

2092
01:53:58,560 --> 01:54:01,400
Speaker 15: saw those don't look like him be be statistics. But

2093
01:54:01,640 --> 01:54:03,880
Speaker 15: here's the thing I want to say. You know, Steve,

2094
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:07,000
Speaker 15: you say this all the time. You know you've been

2095
01:54:07,040 --> 01:54:09,000
Speaker 15: a power of this team. You know the interworks of

2096
01:54:09,040 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 15: the team. And it's real easy for US fans to

2097
01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:14,360
Speaker 15: play armchair quarterback and see say how things should or

2098
01:54:14,360 --> 01:54:18,120
Speaker 15: shouldn't go. But you said this many times. I don't

2099
01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 15: care how you do it, whether it looks pretty or not,

2100
01:54:20,640 --> 01:54:23,000
Speaker 15: as long as you come out with a win, all right.

2101
01:54:23,160 --> 01:54:27,479
Speaker 15: And I'm hearing fans still complaining even though the Buffalo

2102
01:54:27,640 --> 01:54:32,480
Speaker 15: Bills beat the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday twenty six to seven.

2103
01:54:32,840 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 15: I mean, come on, folks and tell Capagio said this

2104
01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:40,560
Speaker 15: on his show earlier. He said, the game plan obviously

2105
01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:43,800
Speaker 15: was twofold number one, protect the quarterbacks so we don't

2106
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,600
Speaker 15: have a repeat that we had with the Texans. And

2107
01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:50,800
Speaker 15: then secondly, run the ball, and that's exactly.

2108
01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:51,000
Speaker 12: What they did.

2109
01:54:51,120 --> 01:54:54,040
Speaker 15: And at work and TJ Watts the statement he made,

2110
01:54:54,280 --> 01:54:56,400
Speaker 15: I can't believe a team would run that play that

2111
01:54:56,560 --> 01:54:59,720
Speaker 15: many times. As he said, that wasn't a denigrating comment

2112
01:54:59,760 --> 01:55:02,480
Speaker 15: again against the Bills, that was against his own team.

2113
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:06,080
Speaker 15: The Bills were phenomenal the defense man, I'm telling you,

2114
01:55:06,240 --> 01:55:09,680
Speaker 15: they just stepped up and they were great. Kudos to

2115
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:13,120
Speaker 15: Christian Benford. He had an outstanding game. But you know,

2116
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:15,440
Speaker 15: this team, as far as I'm concerned, they're going in

2117
01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:18,080
Speaker 15: the right direction. We need to back the Bills and

2118
01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:21,080
Speaker 15: stop all this complaining and understand that. You know they're

2119
01:55:21,120 --> 01:55:23,200
Speaker 15: gonna have ups and downs. I mean, look at the

2120
01:55:23,240 --> 01:55:26,000
Speaker 15: beginning of the season. Besides Josh in the comeback game

2121
01:55:26,080 --> 01:55:29,280
Speaker 15: against the Ravens, who was the hero, Kean Colvin then

2122
01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:32,120
Speaker 15: later on he's the villain. Oh, then the Bills, they're

2123
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:35,920
Speaker 15: concerned about the defense, you know, the running, you know

2124
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:39,040
Speaker 15: the defense, run and run defense, and then that's safe,

2125
01:55:39,200 --> 01:55:42,080
Speaker 15: you know, the secondary. And then it's all of a sudden,

2126
01:55:42,280 --> 01:55:45,200
Speaker 15: what's wrong with Josh. But guess what, folks, this is

2127
01:55:45,280 --> 01:55:48,360
Speaker 15: the NFL. You have your ups and downs, and you know,

2128
01:55:48,520 --> 01:55:51,240
Speaker 15: Selth Cabagio said, if he could go on, if he

2129
01:55:51,320 --> 01:55:54,320
Speaker 15: had time to listen to the fan base around the NFL,

2130
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:57,800
Speaker 15: you'd hear the same complaints from everybody, because, let's face it,

2131
01:55:58,160 --> 01:56:02,920
Speaker 15: the Rams got upset yesterday. Who really looks outstanding in

2132
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:05,440
Speaker 15: this league? Now that the Chiefs are saying they may

2133
01:56:05,520 --> 01:56:08,240
Speaker 15: not even make the Super Bowl, So fine, don't write

2134
01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:12,040
Speaker 15: off this team. They're a championship team and they can.

2135
01:56:12,080 --> 01:56:15,360
Speaker 2: Do it all right, Thanks Deven, appreciate the phone call. Yeah,

2136
01:56:15,560 --> 01:56:17,920
Speaker 2: I mean we've said it all the time. It's a

2137
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:23,800
Speaker 2: week two week league. The conference is tightly packed from

2138
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:28,600
Speaker 2: one through ten, and you got to adopt Al Davis

2139
01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:32,879
Speaker 2: mode right now. Just win, baby. It is like March Madness,

2140
01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:36,520
Speaker 2: survive and advance. Just win the game. Go to the

2141
01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:38,800
Speaker 2: next week. Want to know this week? Go to the

2142
01:56:38,880 --> 01:56:43,720
Speaker 2: next week. And we're not into style points or anything else.

2143
01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:47,400
Speaker 2: Just add another digit to the win column. That's all

2144
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:49,720
Speaker 2: you're trying to do here, because if you keep your

2145
01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 2: head down and you keep doing that, when you look

2146
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:53,320
Speaker 2: up at the end of the season, you're in the

2147
01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:55,760
Speaker 2: postseason and you figure out seeding later.

2148
01:56:55,960 --> 01:57:00,160
Speaker 4: But just keep winning. Yeah, everyone counts the same once

2149
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:02,600
Speaker 4: it's done. Sometimes you have to pay more to get it.

2150
01:57:02,720 --> 01:57:04,920
Speaker 4: Like you came out of you come out of the

2151
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:09,320
Speaker 4: Houston game, you're down four starters offensively and doesn't look good,

2152
01:57:10,840 --> 01:57:15,720
Speaker 4: but you know, and that's a loss. When it's a win,

2153
01:57:15,920 --> 01:57:18,680
Speaker 4: that stuff kind of gets glossed over. In a game

2154
01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:19,680
Speaker 4: like this, you gotta take it.

2155
01:57:20,920 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 2: And I.

2156
01:57:23,080 --> 01:57:26,160
Speaker 4: The coaching staff illustrated Brownie's point in the way they

2157
01:57:26,240 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 4: call this game. They can get fancy with it. They's

2158
01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:31,440
Speaker 4: got down to Duris and we're gonna run this thing.

2159
01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:34,000
Speaker 4: And if you can stop it, fine, but until you do,

2160
01:57:34,640 --> 01:57:38,240
Speaker 4: you're gonna get it. That's NFL coaching.

2161
01:57:40,120 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 9: There is.

2162
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:44,400
Speaker 4: We're not gonna do something different until you stop it.

2163
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

2164
01:57:45,240 --> 01:57:49,680
Speaker 4: Sometimes, and I've heard it said both ways. On an offense,

2165
01:57:49,760 --> 01:57:53,160
Speaker 4: if they get a play that you can't stop, or

2166
01:57:53,160 --> 01:57:55,360
Speaker 4: if a coach gets something he's doing and he won't stop.

2167
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:59,760
Speaker 4: He's not gonna stop. And sometimes if you run one

2168
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:02,920
Speaker 4: play play once and it gets nailed and thrown for

2169
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:05,360
Speaker 4: a loss, they never go back to it, even though

2170
01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:11,680
Speaker 4: perhaps in retrospect they it work. Doesn't matter. You gotta

2171
01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:15,200
Speaker 4: if you've got something that's working. I mean, Bill's fans

2172
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:17,080
Speaker 4: have seen it done to them in the year's past.

2173
01:58:17,160 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 4: Remember the win game in New England here in Buffalo

2174
01:58:19,760 --> 01:58:21,960
Speaker 4: where they threw the ball three times the entire game.

2175
01:58:22,600 --> 01:58:25,040
Speaker 4: That's how it works. That's how it works. And you

2176
01:58:25,120 --> 01:58:27,640
Speaker 4: gotta you gotta take the loss and and figure out

2177
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:29,680
Speaker 4: where you went wrong. And that's what the Steelers are

2178
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:31,280
Speaker 4: doing today, not the Bills.

2179
01:58:32,240 --> 01:58:34,960
Speaker 2: Let's go to Carl in Amherst next. What's up, Carl?

2180
01:58:36,200 --> 01:58:37,800
Speaker 10: You can't stop Carl.

2181
01:58:37,880 --> 01:58:39,000
Speaker 2: Turn radio and you're on.

2182
01:58:40,440 --> 01:58:44,240
Speaker 16: Yeah, good afternoon, guys. Hey, I just uh, I just

2183
01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:47,480
Speaker 16: wanted to call because I I kind of feel that

2184
01:58:47,600 --> 01:58:52,640
Speaker 16: we have a little secret weapon, and I think that

2185
01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:58,080
Speaker 16: secret weapon is Jackson Dons. I just wanted to get

2186
01:58:58,200 --> 01:59:02,840
Speaker 16: you guys opinion and and how much you think he

2187
01:59:03,080 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 16: adds to the offensive running game. And he's a young

2188
01:59:08,440 --> 01:59:11,680
Speaker 16: kid that can block and when they do throw the ball,

2189
01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:15,000
Speaker 16: he catches it. So I mean he's not a Dalton Kincaid.

2190
01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:19,840
Speaker 16: I don't want to emphasize that, but I think that

2191
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:22,960
Speaker 16: he's a good draft choice of a good addition to

2192
01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:23,560
Speaker 16: the offense.

2193
01:59:24,560 --> 01:59:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's helped diversify it by virtue of

2194
01:59:27,480 --> 01:59:29,280
Speaker 2: the fact that you don't have to put Alec Anderson

2195
01:59:29,320 --> 01:59:33,200
Speaker 2: on the field anymore as a sixth offensive lineman in

2196
01:59:33,320 --> 01:59:36,280
Speaker 2: the jumbo package because Jackson can do just as effective

2197
01:59:36,280 --> 01:59:39,000
Speaker 2: a job blocking. And he also gives you the added

2198
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:42,520
Speaker 2: dimension of or at least showing the defense you can

2199
01:59:42,560 --> 01:59:44,880
Speaker 2: go out and catch a pass too, So it makes

2200
01:59:44,920 --> 01:59:47,440
Speaker 2: the Bills offense less predictable with him on the field,

2201
01:59:48,080 --> 01:59:51,800
Speaker 2: and that's the value he brings. And yeah, I think

2202
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:54,640
Speaker 2: he's been a major help to what is the number

2203
01:59:54,640 --> 01:59:57,360
Speaker 2: one rushing attack in football. I mean, we've heard Aaron

2204
01:59:57,400 --> 01:59:59,480
Speaker 2: Kromer say it, We've heard Joe Brady say it. They

2205
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:02,440
Speaker 2: called him the best blocking tight end they have ever seen,

2206
02:00:03,440 --> 02:00:06,520
Speaker 2: not in this draft class, not in the league right

2207
02:00:06,600 --> 02:00:09,920
Speaker 2: now ever. And he's only going to get better. I mean,

2208
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:11,800
Speaker 2: he's in his rookie season. He's only going to get better.

2209
02:00:11,880 --> 02:00:15,600
Speaker 4: That's what we've been hearing since training camp. Even the

2210
02:00:15,680 --> 02:00:18,760
Speaker 4: offensive line guys, we're talking about how good he was

2211
02:00:18,880 --> 02:00:23,520
Speaker 4: a nuance and subtle the subtleties of offensive line play.

2212
02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:28,320
Speaker 4: Hawes seems to get it. It's no surprise that he's

2213
02:00:29,240 --> 02:00:32,080
Speaker 4: a big part of what they're doing offensively. He caught

2214
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 4: a pass the other day, at least one past this yesterday,

2215
02:00:35,120 --> 02:00:42,920
Speaker 4: and I think it's going to continue. It's yeah, I mean,

2216
02:00:42,960 --> 02:00:45,560
Speaker 4: what more can you say? I think the guy. You're right,

2217
02:00:45,800 --> 02:00:49,720
Speaker 4: he has been a real fine in the draft. He's

2218
02:00:49,760 --> 02:00:52,440
Speaker 4: gonna be here for a minute and we'll see how

2219
02:00:52,480 --> 02:00:54,600
Speaker 4: he does. But I don't have a problem with him

2220
02:00:54,680 --> 02:00:58,800
Speaker 4: using him more and more. But you know, he's at

2221
02:00:58,840 --> 02:01:01,680
Speaker 4: the current moment, he's a little bit specialized.

2222
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:05,280
Speaker 2: He is a sneaky athlete, as Brandon Breen has described

2223
02:01:05,320 --> 02:01:07,760
Speaker 2: him that way. He's a sneaky athlete. He looks like

2224
02:01:07,840 --> 02:01:10,400
Speaker 2: a traditional wide tight end, but he can run some

2225
02:01:10,520 --> 02:01:15,040
Speaker 2: routes in the short to intermediate area. So yeah, he

2226
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:17,720
Speaker 2: can't be dismissed out of hand as strictly a blocking

2227
02:01:18,320 --> 02:01:21,640
Speaker 2: tight end. Let's go to Don in Buffalo X. What's up, John?

2228
02:01:22,720 --> 02:01:27,400
Speaker 17: Yeah, the thing that concerns me is the last week.

2229
02:01:27,520 --> 02:01:31,280
Speaker 17: I know the game yesterday was fantastic, But when we

2230
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:35,560
Speaker 17: played Houston, every time we score a touchdown, you've got

2231
02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:39,400
Speaker 17: to crush your fingers. This guy's missing extra points. We

2232
02:01:39,600 --> 02:01:44,160
Speaker 17: could have tied that game last week and had the

2233
02:01:44,240 --> 02:01:47,360
Speaker 17: ability as bad as we played to win that game.

2234
02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:49,080
Speaker 17: I'm going to listen to your comments.

2235
02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:49,680
Speaker 6: Thank you.

2236
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's missed three extra points on the season, and

2237
02:01:52,960 --> 02:01:57,320
Speaker 2: he's missed two field goals. As frustrating as it is,

2238
02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:05,640
Speaker 2: it happens, extra points are a bit less forgivable. You know,

2239
02:02:05,760 --> 02:02:08,280
Speaker 2: then long field goal attempts because of the distance and

2240
02:02:08,360 --> 02:02:13,800
Speaker 2: degree of difficulty. But yeah, he's missed one in each

2241
02:02:13,840 --> 02:02:16,480
Speaker 2: of the last two weeks, three total on the season,

2242
02:02:17,040 --> 02:02:19,040
Speaker 2: and that has to come to an end quickly because

2243
02:02:19,640 --> 02:02:21,839
Speaker 2: you know, you could be playing in super tight games

2244
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:25,440
Speaker 2: and it compromises your approach offensively. To your point about

2245
02:02:25,440 --> 02:02:27,640
Speaker 2: the Houston game, Yeah, instead of needing a touchdown, you

2246
02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:29,400
Speaker 2: could have kicked the field goal and played to overtime.

2247
02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:29,800
Speaker 2: That's right.

2248
02:02:30,160 --> 02:02:33,560
Speaker 4: That's that's as egregious as except for a walk off

2249
02:02:33,600 --> 02:02:38,520
Speaker 4: that wins it and missing that missing an extra point

2250
02:02:38,600 --> 02:02:41,480
Speaker 4: that puts your offense in a bind at the end

2251
02:02:41,520 --> 02:02:43,360
Speaker 4: of the game because it's for instead a three point

2252
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:47,440
Speaker 4: deficit to tie it or you know, take the lead. Yeah,

2253
02:02:47,480 --> 02:02:52,080
Speaker 4: that's a crusher. So you're right, and I gotta be

2254
02:02:52,160 --> 02:02:55,600
Speaker 4: honest with you. It's yesterday. It didn't matter, but it

2255
02:02:55,720 --> 02:02:58,680
Speaker 4: might have mattered, you know. So yeah, you're right, that

2256
02:02:59,040 --> 02:03:01,920
Speaker 4: is a concern. I don't know how close Tyler Bass

2257
02:03:02,120 --> 02:03:04,240
Speaker 4: is to coming back. I don't know what his situation is.

2258
02:03:04,760 --> 02:03:07,400
Speaker 4: He's been rehabbing the entire season. He's not one hundred

2259
02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:11,440
Speaker 4: percent and until that changes there, I don't think they'll

2260
02:03:11,520 --> 02:03:14,160
Speaker 4: change Prater, change him out. I think they liked what

2261
02:03:14,280 --> 02:03:16,640
Speaker 4: he's done and they trust him because he works hard

2262
02:03:16,680 --> 02:03:21,320
Speaker 4: at it. And as the weather gets worse, it's going

2263
02:03:21,400 --> 02:03:23,120
Speaker 4: to be an even bigger challenge for him and every

2264
02:03:23,160 --> 02:03:24,960
Speaker 4: other kicker as well. So keep that in mind as

2265
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:25,600
Speaker 4: we go forward.

2266
02:03:25,840 --> 02:03:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we go over to Mark in Rochester, NEX. What

2267
02:03:29,200 --> 02:03:30,000
Speaker 2: do you got for us? Mark?

2268
02:03:31,880 --> 02:03:36,200
Speaker 18: Good happening in gentlemen. I just want to speak about

2269
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:42,600
Speaker 18: Vandermark Alec Anderson. Those guys are incredible yesterday. I mean,

2270
02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:45,280
Speaker 18: for that offensive line, going through what they went through

2271
02:03:45,320 --> 02:03:47,560
Speaker 18: in Houston, getting beat up the way they got beat up,

2272
02:03:48,040 --> 02:03:49,560
Speaker 18: and then you hear you know, well you got the

2273
02:03:49,640 --> 02:03:52,400
Speaker 18: backup right tackle, you got the backup left tackle. Those

2274
02:03:52,440 --> 02:03:55,680
Speaker 18: guys did a phenomenal job. That number one. I just

2275
02:03:55,760 --> 02:03:59,360
Speaker 18: wanted to say that Number two, Tyrell Shafers. That kid

2276
02:04:00,040 --> 02:04:02,880
Speaker 18: didn't show up on the statue with catches and touchdowns.

2277
02:04:03,480 --> 02:04:06,120
Speaker 18: But man, with that kid blocking his butt off yesterday,

2278
02:04:06,320 --> 02:04:09,000
Speaker 18: and props to him. Now you know why he made

2279
02:04:09,040 --> 02:04:12,040
Speaker 18: the fifty three man roster. You don't have to catch passes,

2280
02:04:12,120 --> 02:04:14,200
Speaker 18: you don't have to have a hundred yard game, you

2281
02:04:14,280 --> 02:04:16,960
Speaker 18: don't need touchdowns. To show up and do your job.

2282
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:18,360
Speaker 18: That's all you need to do. And that's what that

2283
02:04:18,480 --> 02:04:20,720
Speaker 18: kid did yesterday. I thought it was phenomenal. And then

2284
02:04:20,760 --> 02:04:24,120
Speaker 18: real quick on Hayward, I didn't know what happened. I

2285
02:04:24,200 --> 02:04:26,160
Speaker 18: know he said that Josh need him in the gut

2286
02:04:26,240 --> 02:04:30,160
Speaker 18: or whatever, but I'm pretty sure Josh gets a blunt

2287
02:04:30,240 --> 02:04:32,520
Speaker 18: of blows down there in the pile in the scrum,

2288
02:04:33,200 --> 02:04:35,520
Speaker 18: you know, throughout the years. I'm not defending them, I'm

2289
02:04:35,520 --> 02:04:36,880
Speaker 18: not saying that you know he was right.

2290
02:04:36,800 --> 02:04:37,280
Speaker 5: He was wrong.

2291
02:04:37,680 --> 02:04:39,760
Speaker 18: But if you go back and look, it was actually

2292
02:04:39,880 --> 02:04:42,680
Speaker 18: Vandermark's knee that hit him in the stomach. He just

2293
02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:46,600
Speaker 18: saw a number seven and automatically assumed. But That's all

2294
02:04:46,640 --> 02:04:48,320
Speaker 18: I wanted to say. Just props to the left and

2295
02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:50,200
Speaker 18: right tackle. I thought they did a tremendous job.

2296
02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks smart, appreciate that. Sorry if I cut you

2297
02:04:53,200 --> 02:04:57,360
Speaker 2: off there. Yeah, the Cam Hayward thing was just somebody

2298
02:04:57,400 --> 02:05:00,840
Speaker 2: crying sour grapes. As far as I'm concerned, a three

2299
02:05:00,920 --> 02:05:04,640
Speaker 2: hundred pounds defensive tackle is gonna whine and complain about

2300
02:05:04,680 --> 02:05:07,760
Speaker 2: getting need in the belly. I mean, mile, come on,

2301
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:11,280
Speaker 2: what are we doing there? That's just a guy crying

2302
02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:12,160
Speaker 2: sour grap.

2303
02:05:12,080 --> 02:05:14,440
Speaker 4: I said what I thought about it earlier on. I

2304
02:05:14,520 --> 02:05:18,320
Speaker 4: thought it was a chance for Hayward to show some

2305
02:05:18,440 --> 02:05:20,440
Speaker 4: leadership and try and get his team fired up. We've

2306
02:05:20,480 --> 02:05:23,920
Speaker 4: talked a lot about how the Bill's offense flipped a

2307
02:05:23,960 --> 02:05:26,320
Speaker 4: switch when Josh took the late hit what should have

2308
02:05:26,360 --> 02:05:28,600
Speaker 4: been a personal foul on the slide on the sideline

2309
02:05:29,240 --> 02:05:33,440
Speaker 4: that seemed to really liven up the Bill's offense and

2310
02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:36,200
Speaker 4: turn things around for them. I think Hayward was trying

2311
02:05:36,200 --> 02:05:39,640
Speaker 4: to do the same thing for his defense. Getting up

2312
02:05:39,680 --> 02:05:42,560
Speaker 4: feeling like he'd been disrespected or saying like somebody cheap

2313
02:05:42,600 --> 02:05:44,360
Speaker 4: shot at him would fire.

2314
02:05:44,160 --> 02:05:44,959
Speaker 2: Up his teammates.

2315
02:05:44,960 --> 02:05:46,200
Speaker 4: I think there was a little bit of that going

2316
02:05:46,240 --> 02:05:47,880
Speaker 4: on with Hayward. I think he was trying to be

2317
02:05:47,960 --> 02:05:50,920
Speaker 4: a leader and be a catalyst for change on a

2318
02:05:52,920 --> 02:05:56,800
Speaker 4: on a maybe a flat performance by his defense. I

2319
02:05:56,880 --> 02:05:59,360
Speaker 4: think he was trying to get those guys turned on

2320
02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:03,200
Speaker 4: and it didn't work. But that doesn't mean he's a

2321
02:06:03,240 --> 02:06:05,520
Speaker 4: bad guy for trying. And you know, when you're down

2322
02:06:05,560 --> 02:06:07,920
Speaker 4: in a pile, yeah, okay, you can kind of say

2323
02:06:07,960 --> 02:06:11,000
Speaker 4: what you want. But I've seen a lot of people

2324
02:06:11,080 --> 02:06:13,160
Speaker 4: on social media trying to pick the play out. There

2325
02:06:13,280 --> 02:06:16,480
Speaker 4: wasn't and it doesn't seem like much went on in

2326
02:06:16,560 --> 02:06:21,840
Speaker 4: there that's abnormal in a pile. So I think Cam

2327
02:06:21,920 --> 02:06:23,880
Speaker 4: Hayben was trying to show some leadership for the Caears

2328
02:06:23,920 --> 02:06:26,080
Speaker 4: and get them to turn a switch like the late

2329
02:06:26,200 --> 02:06:28,080
Speaker 4: hit on Josh turned to switch for the Bills offense.

2330
02:06:28,240 --> 02:06:34,280
Speaker 2: It just didn't work. Yeah, so to me, Yeah, but

2331
02:06:34,360 --> 02:06:35,760
Speaker 2: you're still crying about it after the game.

2332
02:06:35,800 --> 02:06:38,560
Speaker 4: Come on, Well he was asked about it and he's

2333
02:06:38,600 --> 02:06:43,280
Speaker 4: not gonna he's you know, yeah, yeah, I don't have

2334
02:06:43,360 --> 02:06:45,200
Speaker 4: a problem with it. I yeah, if he wants to

2335
02:06:45,280 --> 02:06:47,200
Speaker 4: do that, that's fine. But I think that's to me,

2336
02:06:47,360 --> 02:06:48,000
Speaker 4: that's what it was.

2337
02:06:49,080 --> 02:06:51,760
Speaker 2: To me, that's what it was there was some news

2338
02:06:52,120 --> 02:06:54,640
Speaker 2: in the NFL that came down that we thought we

2339
02:06:54,680 --> 02:06:58,360
Speaker 2: should pass along. Vikings are waiving wide receiver Adam Thielen,

2340
02:06:59,080 --> 02:07:03,160
Speaker 2: who apparently approached the Vikings organization about moving on from

2341
02:07:03,200 --> 02:07:07,240
Speaker 2: the team last week. So the team has granted the

2342
02:07:07,400 --> 02:07:10,480
Speaker 2: request out of respect for Thielen, who was a longtime

2343
02:07:11,120 --> 02:07:15,440
Speaker 2: player for that club, just came back to that team recently,

2344
02:07:16,360 --> 02:07:19,280
Speaker 2: so they're going to allow him to try to land somewhere.

2345
02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:22,120
Speaker 2: This is his final NFL season. I believe he's thirty

2346
02:07:22,160 --> 02:07:24,840
Speaker 2: four or thirty five years old and this is his

2347
02:07:24,960 --> 02:07:26,400
Speaker 2: last season, so I think they're going to give him

2348
02:07:26,400 --> 02:07:29,280
Speaker 2: an opportunity to try to latch on with a playoff

2349
02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:32,960
Speaker 2: team because the Vikings are not going to the postseason

2350
02:07:33,040 --> 02:07:35,280
Speaker 2: with the way their year has gone with JJ McCarthy

2351
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:39,040
Speaker 2: in and out of a lineup with injuries, so he's

2352
02:07:39,120 --> 02:07:45,360
Speaker 2: going to be waived. So there's that, even though JJ

2353
02:07:45,520 --> 02:07:48,160
Speaker 2: McCarthy is ready to come back to the lineup apparently

2354
02:07:48,240 --> 02:07:52,960
Speaker 2: this week from concussion protocol. They're playing the Commanders this week,

2355
02:07:53,080 --> 02:07:56,240
Speaker 2: so just thought i'd put it out there. I think

2356
02:07:56,280 --> 02:07:58,800
Speaker 2: the Bills, who you know, signed a player who was

2357
02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:01,640
Speaker 2: in a similar situation asked for his release from the

2358
02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:03,839
Speaker 2: Saints and got it, and then the Bill signed Brandon

2359
02:08:03,880 --> 02:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Cooks last week. I don't know that they'd go back

2360
02:08:06,480 --> 02:08:09,240
Speaker 2: into the free agent market and do that again, but

2361
02:08:09,840 --> 02:08:13,080
Speaker 2: you just never know what people deem as a fit

2362
02:08:13,320 --> 02:08:19,280
Speaker 2: or something that's a definitive upgrade. But we'll have to

2363
02:08:19,320 --> 02:08:22,680
Speaker 2: see where Adam Thielen lands after he is waived by

2364
02:08:22,720 --> 02:08:25,320
Speaker 2: the club. Actually he'll just be released. He's a veteran,

2365
02:08:25,360 --> 02:08:27,440
Speaker 2: so he doesn't go through rivers, right. Oh, hell yeah,

2366
02:08:27,480 --> 02:08:28,240
Speaker 2: he'll go right.

2367
02:08:28,320 --> 02:08:28,400
Speaker 15: Oh.

2368
02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:31,560
Speaker 2: No, Cooks had to go through waivers and he's a

2369
02:08:31,560 --> 02:08:33,320
Speaker 2: twelve year vet, so yeah, I think at this point

2370
02:08:33,320 --> 02:08:34,920
Speaker 2: in the year you got to go through waivers first.

2371
02:08:35,360 --> 02:08:36,960
Speaker 2: I think that's how it is based on the time

2372
02:08:37,000 --> 02:08:40,360
Speaker 2: of the year. We have to take a break here

2373
02:08:40,520 --> 02:08:43,400
Speaker 2: when we come back. Some final thoughts on the tweetsheet

2374
02:08:43,960 --> 02:08:46,920
Speaker 2: on this Buffalo victory. Monday Here on One Bill's Live

2375
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:48,959
Speaker 2: presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's.

2376
02:08:48,800 --> 02:09:04,280
Speaker 19: Radio in checkson final thoughts from the tweet sheet.

2377
02:09:04,800 --> 02:09:08,160
Speaker 2: On your biggest takeaways from Sunday's victory over the Steelers,

2378
02:09:08,760 --> 02:09:11,960
Speaker 2: Risky says our backup tackles held their own against Watt

2379
02:09:12,000 --> 02:09:15,720
Speaker 2: and the Steelers d I was fearing for Josh Allen's

2380
02:09:15,800 --> 02:09:20,880
Speaker 2: life before the game. They happily proved me wrong. Nate says,

2381
02:09:21,160 --> 02:09:25,200
Speaker 2: ugly first half, great second half, great win man. Both

2382
02:09:25,280 --> 02:09:29,080
Speaker 2: teams receivers couldn't get open. Buffalo's run game was superb,

2383
02:09:29,720 --> 02:09:33,240
Speaker 2: passing game wasn't. James Cook and Josh Allen continue to

2384
02:09:33,280 --> 02:09:36,640
Speaker 2: make rookie mistakes, but other than that, on to Cincy.

2385
02:09:37,640 --> 02:09:40,120
Speaker 2: Harold says, if you find something that works, do it

2386
02:09:40,280 --> 02:09:43,000
Speaker 2: over and over again until they show they can stop it.

2387
02:09:43,440 --> 02:09:46,240
Speaker 2: And backup tackles get paid to play in the NFL too.

2388
02:09:47,120 --> 02:09:50,240
Speaker 2: And finally, Robbie says, would it be fair to say

2389
02:09:50,440 --> 02:09:54,640
Speaker 2: that our depth guy's dependability is superior and to be

2390
02:09:54,760 --> 02:09:58,000
Speaker 2: in consideration for other clubs as the standard by which

2391
02:09:58,120 --> 02:10:02,120
Speaker 2: to measure deep thoughts? From here, these guys really step

2392
02:10:02,240 --> 02:10:04,480
Speaker 2: up when called upon. Great work on both sides of

2393
02:10:04,520 --> 02:10:07,840
Speaker 2: the ball Boys Tasker Hall of Fame, Big Dubs, Go Bills.

2394
02:10:10,440 --> 02:10:14,839
Speaker 2: I actually talked to Ryan Vandermark's mom in the hotel

2395
02:10:15,040 --> 02:10:21,000
Speaker 2: Saturday night. I said, how excited are Ryan? How excited

2396
02:10:21,040 --> 02:10:23,320
Speaker 2: is Ryan about this opportunity? She's like him and Alec

2397
02:10:23,400 --> 02:10:27,360
Speaker 2: are pumped like they've been waiting for a chance to

2398
02:10:27,480 --> 02:10:31,400
Speaker 2: kind of step in and you know, contribute because their

2399
02:10:31,480 --> 02:10:34,400
Speaker 2: contributions have been limited due to the health of you know,

2400
02:10:34,520 --> 02:10:37,440
Speaker 2: the offensive line over the last several years. Actually, both

2401
02:10:37,440 --> 02:10:41,280
Speaker 2: those guys have been here like three years now. She

2402
02:10:41,400 --> 02:10:45,120
Speaker 2: said they were over the moon about the opportunity to

2403
02:10:45,200 --> 02:10:48,880
Speaker 2: come in and contribute to a winning effort and it

2404
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:54,520
Speaker 2: proved to be that. So good for them. And I

2405
02:10:54,640 --> 02:10:58,640
Speaker 2: still am thinking about alec Anderson's comments about how their

2406
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:02,600
Speaker 2: number one priority this week was their technique and perfecting

2407
02:11:02,640 --> 02:11:05,080
Speaker 2: it in the practice setting so they could execute on Sunday.

2408
02:11:05,120 --> 02:11:07,320
Speaker 2: And you know, for the most part they did. There

2409
02:11:07,360 --> 02:11:08,720
Speaker 2: were a few bumps in the road at the beginning

2410
02:11:08,760 --> 02:11:11,960
Speaker 2: with some false starts. I think alex alec Anderson was

2411
02:11:12,320 --> 02:11:15,640
Speaker 2: a little wound up, as you would expect, you know,

2412
02:11:15,720 --> 02:11:17,560
Speaker 2: making a start out there at tackle for the first

2413
02:11:17,600 --> 02:11:22,080
Speaker 2: time since he was in college at UCLA and he's

2414
02:11:22,080 --> 02:11:25,880
Speaker 2: starting against t. J. Watt. Yeah, it's gonna have you

2415
02:11:26,000 --> 02:11:29,200
Speaker 2: ready to jump. So I think once he settled in,

2416
02:11:29,400 --> 02:11:30,720
Speaker 2: he was considerably better.

2417
02:11:31,120 --> 02:11:35,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was a game that once the Bill's

2418
02:11:35,720 --> 02:11:37,840
Speaker 4: offense got on track and didn't turn it over, it

2419
02:11:38,200 --> 02:11:42,240
Speaker 4: it turned into a It turned into a laugher. I mean,

2420
02:11:42,280 --> 02:11:46,640
Speaker 4: they won by double digits, by three scores, and it's

2421
02:11:46,920 --> 02:11:48,960
Speaker 4: it's hard to do that in the NFL, particularly on

2422
02:11:49,040 --> 02:11:54,680
Speaker 4: the road. I think this night, I've said it a

2423
02:11:54,720 --> 02:11:57,320
Speaker 4: bunch of during the show. I think there's some real

2424
02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:00,280
Speaker 4: issues in Pittsburgh that we didn't know about it, and

2425
02:12:00,320 --> 02:12:02,800
Speaker 4: I don't think they knew about as as much as

2426
02:12:02,840 --> 02:12:07,680
Speaker 4: they were fleshed out during the game against Buffalo. They

2427
02:12:07,760 --> 02:12:12,160
Speaker 4: could not move the football offensively at all in that game,

2428
02:12:13,040 --> 02:12:23,680
Speaker 4: and their defense was outclassed. I think there's I think

2429
02:12:23,760 --> 02:12:26,640
Speaker 4: there's real, real problems in Pittsburgh and we're gonna see

2430
02:12:27,080 --> 02:12:29,560
Speaker 4: some results. We're gonna see some reaction to that out

2431
02:12:29,560 --> 02:12:31,880
Speaker 4: of the organization. I don't know whether Mike Thomas gonna

2432
02:12:31,920 --> 02:12:33,960
Speaker 4: lose his job or whatever, but I'm but they're gonna

2433
02:12:33,960 --> 02:12:36,840
Speaker 4: make some some coaching changes on the staff or whatever.

2434
02:12:37,840 --> 02:12:40,640
Speaker 4: I just don't think they can. And I'll and I'll

2435
02:12:40,680 --> 02:12:42,360
Speaker 4: say that I don't see how they're going to bounce

2436
02:12:42,480 --> 02:12:47,080
Speaker 4: back and play better against Baltimore this weekend.

2437
02:12:48,120 --> 02:12:51,280
Speaker 2: And Baltimore is coming off a loss themselves. I mean,

2438
02:12:51,880 --> 02:12:56,880
Speaker 2: their every bit is desperate, if not more so, and

2439
02:12:57,000 --> 02:13:00,320
Speaker 2: those two teams usually when they play each other, their

2440
02:13:00,400 --> 02:13:03,640
Speaker 2: play rises to the occasion that's gonna be a rock

2441
02:13:03,680 --> 02:13:06,840
Speaker 2: 'em sock them game, right, I mean they're gonna beat

2442
02:13:06,840 --> 02:13:11,040
Speaker 2: the tar out of each other. So yeah, there's there's

2443
02:13:11,120 --> 02:13:13,880
Speaker 2: a lot. With five games to go, there is a

2444
02:13:13,960 --> 02:13:17,200
Speaker 2: lot to be decided in the AFC Conference and it

2445
02:13:17,360 --> 02:13:19,840
Speaker 2: is a jumbled mess right now. You have two teams

2446
02:13:19,880 --> 02:13:22,920
Speaker 2: at the top, you know, the two ten win teams,

2447
02:13:23,200 --> 02:13:29,080
Speaker 2: New England and Denver. Beyond that, it's a shmazzle. I mean,

2448
02:13:29,320 --> 02:13:29,760
Speaker 2: think about it.

2449
02:13:29,840 --> 02:13:33,240
Speaker 4: You've got you've got seven teams within two games of

2450
02:13:33,320 --> 02:13:37,120
Speaker 4: each other, with five games to play. All the playoff

2451
02:13:37,160 --> 02:13:38,640
Speaker 4: teams within two games, remember.

2452
02:13:38,600 --> 02:13:39,960
Speaker 2: And a lot of them have to play each other.

2453
02:13:40,000 --> 02:13:41,560
Speaker 4: It has been in the past. It was like eleven

2454
02:13:41,640 --> 02:13:44,480
Speaker 4: and one Chiefs remember last year, and then you know

2455
02:13:44,560 --> 02:13:46,520
Speaker 4: everybody else was like seven or like where they are

2456
02:13:46,640 --> 02:13:50,120
Speaker 4: now eight. Right, nobody was even close to the Chiefs

2457
02:13:50,200 --> 02:13:52,320
Speaker 4: last year. And it's been that way in years past

2458
02:13:52,360 --> 02:13:54,680
Speaker 4: as well to other with other teams with other one seeds.

2459
02:13:57,480 --> 02:13:57,760
Speaker 15: It is.

2460
02:13:58,560 --> 02:14:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's up for grabs, totally up for grabs. Got

2461
02:14:01,840 --> 02:14:05,120
Speaker 2: a big show for you tomorrow as we will check

2462
02:14:05,200 --> 02:14:08,240
Speaker 2: in with Mitch Morris for our from the armchair segment

2463
02:14:08,320 --> 02:14:11,480
Speaker 2: former Bill Center, and as we do every Tuesday, we'll

2464
02:14:11,560 --> 02:14:15,960
Speaker 2: check in with ESPN. NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky saw some

2465
02:14:16,080 --> 02:14:18,839
Speaker 2: of his tweets about watching the Steelers tape. He couldn't

2466
02:14:18,840 --> 02:14:21,320
Speaker 2: believe what he was looking at. That's it for us today.

2467
02:14:21,640 --> 02:14:22,760
Speaker 2: We'll see you tomorrow at one
