Speaker 1: Finding the way. Find the way every week. Camolo Buffalo,
Speaker 1: no overthinking. All right, go play football. We'll play the football.
Speaker 1: It's an exciting time to be a Buffalo Bill and
Speaker 1: a fan of the Buffalo Bills. Welcome into Week eleven
Speaker 1: of the Sean McDermott Show, presented by Connors and Ferris,
Speaker 1: your workers comp attorneys. I'm Steve Tasker, pleased to be
Speaker 1: joined once again by Sean McDermott. Coach, Thanks as always
Speaker 1: for joining us. You guys bounced back in a huge
Speaker 1: way with a win over the Jets on the road.
Speaker 1: What'd you think of the way your team responded after
Speaker 1: the loss in Jacksonville? Well, I thought they made the
Speaker 1: appropriate adjustments, quite honestly, Steve and we had talked about
Speaker 1: some things during the week, things we needed to do,
Speaker 1: things we needed to get fixed, and they responded both
Speaker 1: off the field and on the field. And I thought
Speaker 1: all three phases really put together a complete game. He
Speaker 1: came off your lowest scoring game of the year, but
Speaker 1: then you put up a season high forty five points.
Speaker 1: Your offense also had a season high four hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty nine yards. You average nine yards of play, you
Speaker 1: went for six, you went six for seven in the
Speaker 1: red zone. Seemed like Brian Dayball really mixed up the
Speaker 1: looks with different personnel packages and drew up some explosive plays.
Speaker 1: What impressed you most about the way your offense played
Speaker 1: this week? Yeah, they played great team offense. I really
Speaker 1: believe that. I know the word is used a lot
Speaker 1: thrown around a lot on defense, team defense, but in
Speaker 1: this case, I thought it was team offense, with the
Speaker 1: offensive line, the backs, the tight ends, and the receivers
Speaker 1: all chipping in in some way, shape or formed to
Speaker 1: get the production that you just detailed for us here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your quarterback was back on track. Josh was twenty one
Speaker 1: of twenty eight for three to sixty six two touchdowns
Speaker 1: against the Jets. You had three hundred and five yards
Speaker 1: on play action passes. That's the second most ever recorded
Speaker 1: in the next GIN stats era. What was different about
Speaker 1: your passing game this week that got Josh in the
Speaker 1: offense back on track? Well, again, you mentioned it. I
Speaker 1: thought Brian Dable caught a great game and had a
Speaker 1: great game plan with the offensive staff, and then the
Speaker 1: players executed. You know one thing that I will mention
Speaker 1: is I thought the multiplicity of the offensive looks I
Speaker 1: thought was key and giving the defense different looks and
Speaker 1: keeping them off balance. So that's something that we've got
Speaker 1: to continue to do moving forward. All Right, Let's be
Speaker 1: honest for the fans at home, getting Josh on track
Speaker 1: is as much about getting Stefan Diggs going. And he
Speaker 1: went out and had a monster day. He looked like
Speaker 1: the Stefan Diggs we got used to watching last season.
Speaker 1: He had eight catches for a buck sixty two and
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Seemed like the Jets did not have an
Speaker 1: answer for him. How does his success fuel other parts
Speaker 1: of your offense. Well, he's a great energizer for us.
Speaker 1: He's a catalyst earl in the game he was for us,
Speaker 1: and the intensity that Steph brings to practice, the intensity
Speaker 1: he brings to the game on Sundays is unmatched. And
Speaker 1: the players felt that the energy that he brought to
Speaker 1: our sideline. And again, you watched what he did in
Speaker 1: the past game, that's you know, on TV for everyone
Speaker 1: to see. But what's not probably focus in on as
Speaker 1: much as is his effort in the run game and
Speaker 1: how he's helped spring some of those long runs for us. Well,
Speaker 1: you said last week you wanted to get your rushing
Speaker 1: offense going and well, for the first time in team history,
Speaker 1: four different guys rush for touchdowns and your quarterback, Josh
Speaker 1: Allen wasn't one of them. Three of your running backs
Speaker 1: ran one in and then Isaiah McKenzie took in a
Speaker 1: jet suite. Matt Breed to finished with two total touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one on the ground, one through the air. What new
Speaker 1: elements does breed to bring to your offense, Well, it's
Speaker 1: that speed element. See what Zach is Broad and Devin
Speaker 1: have brought to our offense, and then you add Breeda
Speaker 1: with a speed element. It's really a good combination and
Speaker 1: good to see him get back on the field be
Speaker 1: active for the game. He's worked extremely hard in practice,
Speaker 1: been inactive for the last handful of weeks. But good
Speaker 1: to see him back out there and contribute not only
Speaker 1: on offense but also special teams. Yeah. Now we have
Speaker 1: to switch gears and go over the other side of
Speaker 1: the ball and talk about the five takeaways your defense force.
Speaker 1: Each one came from a different member of your secondary
Speaker 1: Terror and Trey, Levi, Jordan all had interceptions and then
Speaker 1: Micah had the force fumble and recovered it before the half.
Speaker 1: I know they've been a part of two shutouts this season,
Speaker 1: but is it the best game they've played all year? Well,
Speaker 1: when you look at the back end and the way
Speaker 1: they played, how they played, I mean, they definitely got
Speaker 1: some takeaways through the air. The one on the ground
Speaker 1: with the funnel that Micael Force I thought was really
Speaker 1: a game changer in the momentum of the game. We
Speaker 1: went on to score, you know, seven after that, and
Speaker 1: that was just all effort. You know, you love to
Speaker 1: watch those plays and it's really become our DNA that
Speaker 1: those effort plays. They're fun to watch. All Right, That's
Speaker 1: enough of this for now, Coach. We're gonna catch up
Speaker 1: with you later in the show to get your final
Speaker 1: thoughts on your upcoming matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. The
Speaker 1: game plan is presented by Energy Market, the official energy
Speaker 1: supplier to the Buffalo Bills. Game preview is presented by
Speaker 1: Independent elth You deserve the red shirt treatment, Maddie glab
Speaker 1: here with this week's game preview. It's a rematch of
Speaker 1: the first round of the twenty twenty playoffs. The lead
Speaker 1: of the AFC East and the Buffalo Bills are facing
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts to our second in the AFC South.
Speaker 1: The Colts seem to be heating up as they've won
Speaker 1: their last four or five games, averaging thirty four points
Speaker 1: per game in the last three. Buffalo must be stout
Speaker 1: against the run on Sunday because they'll have to stop
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, who ties for the most rushing yards in
Speaker 1: the NFL with nine hundred and thirty seven. Taylor is
Speaker 1: averaging five point eight yards per carry, good for second
Speaker 1: amongst running backs, and has nine rushing touchdowns. The Colts
Speaker 1: offense is averaging twenty six point eight points per game,
Speaker 1: which ranks eighth in the NFL. Oddly enough, the Bills
Speaker 1: in the Colts are right next to each other and
Speaker 1: turnover differential. Buffalo has the best in the NFL at
Speaker 1: plus fourteen and Indianapolis is second at plus eleven. They
Speaker 1: each have ten turnovers so far this season and are
Speaker 1: right next to each other in takeaways as well. The
Speaker 1: Bills will try to build off their forty five point
Speaker 1: victory last week, as they have bumped their average backup
Speaker 1: to scoring thirty one points per game, which is second
Speaker 1: best in the NFL. Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs are
Speaker 1: hoping for similar performances to when they last played the Colts,
Speaker 1: because Allen completed seventy four percent of his passes and
Speaker 1: had three total touchdowns, while Diggs racked up one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty eight receiving yards and a touchdown. Buffalo's defense
Speaker 1: is still on top of the NFL, as they're allowing
Speaker 1: the fewest points per game with fourteen and the fewest
Speaker 1: yards per game with two hundred and seventy four. Their
Speaker 1: twenty four takeaways are the most in the NFL and
Speaker 1: the most in team history through nine games since nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three. The Bills lead the series against the Colts
Speaker 1: with thirty eight wins and thirty two losses. That's this
Speaker 1: week's game preview, Steve back to you. Thanks as always,
Speaker 1: Maddie coach. The Colts are coming to town. They've won
Speaker 1: four out of their last five games, and a big
Speaker 1: part of their success has been because of Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 1: He's got one hundred plus scrimmage yards and a rushing
Speaker 1: touchdown in seven straight games. He's the only the fourth
Speaker 1: player in the Super Bowl ara to get that done.
Speaker 1: Why is he such a special player, Well, you look
Speaker 1: at his skill set. He's big, he's strong, power full,
Speaker 1: it's got a good field for the game, and he's
Speaker 1: extremely fast. You don't usually find all those qualities in
Speaker 1: one running back, but he has them all and he
Speaker 1: is a force to be reckoned with and probably, if
Speaker 1: not the one of the top running backs in the
Speaker 1: league for a reason, and he's so young. It's not
Speaker 1: always you see a player like this come along, in
Speaker 1: particular this early in his career. Now, you faced this
Speaker 1: Colts team in the playoffs last year and they had
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers under center. Now they've got a new quarterback
Speaker 1: at the helm and Carson Wentz. Now he battled injuries
Speaker 1: early on, but it looks like Frank Reich is starting
Speaker 1: to push the right buttons and get the most out
Speaker 1: of him. How differently does this Colts team play with
Speaker 1: Wentz at quarterbacker than they did last year with Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers under center. You know, Frank's not going to be
Speaker 1: without a good quality quarterback, and so it didn't surprise
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone in this league when you saw
Speaker 1: Carson end up in Indianapolis, so you know they knew
Speaker 1: each other obviously from Philadelphia a little bit there. And
Speaker 1: great coach on one side, great player on the other.
Speaker 1: So again it would be a challenge for our defense
Speaker 1: trying to balance that alone with the run game and
Speaker 1: or overall offense as well with the weapons that they have.
Speaker 1: One last thing that this will be your only home
Speaker 1: game in the month of November, and that's when the
Speaker 1: NFL celebrates the Salute to Service initiative. How special is
Speaker 1: this Salute to Service recognition to you personally? Oh, it's huge,
Speaker 1: you know. You look at what the military does for
Speaker 1: our country and for our community locally here in Western
Speaker 1: New York, and just extremely honored to be able to
Speaker 1: celebrate and shine a light on the military for all
Speaker 1: that they've done for us for so many years. Coach, Thanks,
Speaker 1: good luck On Sunday, we'll catch up with you after
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and recap your game against the New Orleans Saints
Speaker 1: and then preview your matchup with the Patriots on a
Speaker 1: Monday night. And to everybody at home, have a great Thanksgiving.
