1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Cut down Buffalo at a Steve Caster who has been

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: all over the field. He was kind of a dual

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: role player for you, Steve. A blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: in the straded bears of normalcy. Second and goal from

5
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: the Wan. The snap the Josh gonna keep it himself,

6
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna cruise into the end zone touchdown Buffalo a one

7
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run by Josh Allen and the Bills get

8
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: the lead. Snap back the throw, Ryan Cox's arm doesn't

9
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: fire the trigger. He is sexed from behind of the

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: ball comes out loose ball. The Bills me ambit it

11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: is recovered by Harrison Philliams. The snap the Josh Gonna

12
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: run it himself gutt's into the end up touchdown, his

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: second touchdown run of the game. He hit Singletary in

14
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: front of a blocking and a whole armada of Buffalo

15
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: offensive linement is stamp to Josh ends it off. Devin

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Singletary shakes a tackle, gets into Atlanta territory inside the

17
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: forty five, and he is finally brought down at the

18
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: forty yard line of the Falcons. Six h five left

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: to play third quarter. Bills need a touchdown here and

20
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: the gun the stamp to Allen ends it off. Singletary

21
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: driving forward, gets down to the one yard line and

22
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: he is stopped just shore. Now it's a touchdown a

23
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: lake called by the officials, but it's a touchdown for

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: the Bill. A six yard touchdown run by Devin Singletary.

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: Stamp gives it to motor. Singletary runs into the end zone. Touchdown,

26
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: touchdown Buffalo. A four yard run by Devin Singletary, touchdown Bill.

27
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Where else would you rather be than right back into playoff? Blackdown?

28
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: Blah blah, love it. I gotta do a Buffalo football

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: victory Monday. The playoff ticket has been punched, just like

30
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: a train conductor on the Long Island Railroad punched the

31
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: dang ticket. Manum. That was the Toshiba game rewind brought

32
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: to you buy Toshiba still copy or company of the

33
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills. So we get in and they go up

34
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: fourteen two, and I'm telling you what they that was it.

35
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: You thought, wow, this is gonna be bad. It might

36
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: be thirty five two. Right then you know, three straight

37
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: picks on four and five two, right, So I then

38
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Josh threw was three interceptions on four attempts. I'm like

39
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: whoa hey, dude, whoa hey now, But I did say

40
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: that after halftime the count even we threw that third

41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: interception after halftime, you threw through the two in the

42
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: first half of thing. You threw the second one in

43
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: the right at the first third quarter, first start of

44
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: the third quarter, I thought, this all this team needs

45
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: as a lead. If Buffalo gets even a two point lead,

46
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: their offense just can't get it done. They cannot move

47
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: the football. Falcon the falcon talk about the Falcons can't

48
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: get it done, and certainly that that's it turned out

49
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: to be the case. They didn't score again, the pitch

50
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: to shut out in the second half, and it was

51
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: often running a comfortable win by two touchdowns in a

52
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: day when they just said all right, and I said

53
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: this on Bill tonight, you could tell Josh Josh was

54
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: running angry. He was he was hanging onto the ball.

55
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: He stay after the game, he was mad at himself.

56
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: Could turn that into his running game. That's one thing

57
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: about you could and I'll say this, you could see

58
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: that when I was playing. You could see the same

59
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: thing about Jim. Jim and get ticked and man, you

60
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: could feel it in his play. Josh is the same way.

61
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: You could just tell he was punishing guys when he

62
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: wanted to run and just hit people. Um, they're running games.

63
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: Took over in this game like we have. I don't

64
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: think we've seen a Sean McDermott team with Josh Allen

65
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: at quarterback do what they did yesterday in the second

66
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: half of a game with their running game. They absolutely

67
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: took it over and you know, it was a two

68
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: touchdown win. They ran off the last five minutes of

69
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: the clock like nothing, And I was pretty impressive. Going

70
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs on a day when your best guy

71
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: did not play well at all, you won by two touchdowns.

72
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good place to be. Yeah, I did.

73
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: I did write about that in top three things we

74
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: learned from yesterday's game, and the run game was at

75
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: the top of the list. And the reason why is

76
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: because it wasn't just the fact that they ran the ball.

77
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: They leaned on the run game because that is what

78
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: they needed at that point in the game to settle

79
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: the offense down. The three turnovers were they turned a

80
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: nine point advantage into a one point deficit. They needed

81
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: to grab control of the game again. And I thought

82
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: Brian Dabele very astutely said, well, we're playing the twenty

83
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: second ranked run defense in football. Let's try that. And

84
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: it worked. And you look at that first touchdown drive

85
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: after the well, first of all, tip your hat to

86
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver. Josh throws his third pick. Ed Oliver takes

87
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: the game over. He gets a tackle for loss with

88
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: Greg Grusso on first down. Second down, he knives between,

89
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: he gets double teamed, knives between him, gets a sack,

90
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: and then third down he's chasing the back out into

91
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: the flat and forces an incompletion. He basically made three

92
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: plays in a row. Punt time, we're getting the ball back.

93
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: That's a hell of a series that's coming on at

94
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: the right time here for this defense. You know, you

95
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: get players like that who emerge in a playoff run

96
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: and that sticks with them for their whole career. That

97
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: reputation and that thought, you know, I thought about fans,

98
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: they're in fans impression of him will change if he

99
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: can run this through on the playoffs all the way through.

100
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: That's what doesn't when you've got a game, when you've

101
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: got games of the magnitude. The Bills are going to

102
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,119
Speaker 1: be playing him the next month, hopefully the next five weeks.

103
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: Players like that become household names. Ed is playing. I

104
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: would say some of his most dominant football's not throughout,

105
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: but it's in stretches of games. And yesterday, on that series,

106
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: he took the game over. Yeah, that is really encouraging

107
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: to see. On the defensive side of the ball, four tackles,

108
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: one for loss, a quarterback hit, and a sack. Yesterday

109
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: he did almost all of it on that series. It

110
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: was great. Yeah, But more importantly, the point I was

111
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: trying to make is dable, says, all right, let's settle

112
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: things down, let's get things going on the ground here.

113
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: They have an eleven play scoring drive. They ran the

114
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: ball ten times. The next possession, twelve play scoring drive,

115
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: they ran the ball ten times. Yeah. They at the

116
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: defense pitched to shut out. In the second half, the

117
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: offense scored, and on a day when the best player

118
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: on the team played his worst game of the season,

119
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: they won in a game they should have won. No question.

120
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: It was evident early on that the Bill's mistake and

121
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: I think the Bills. Let's face that the Bills looked jittery.

122
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: I think Josh looked jittery. A couple of these game

123
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: flip they did for sure the early on, even when

124
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: Josh came out and they were throwing darts. I mean

125
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: he came out, bang bang, bang, three completions, then all

126
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden they were like two or three incompletions

127
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: that Josh threw nine thousand per hour on a ten

128
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: yard throw. The guys couldn't get their hands on it,

129
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: couldn't couldn't pull it in. And those are on Josh, aren't.

130
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: You know? They were on target enough to be caught

131
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: if they weren't thrown so hard. And that's just Josh.

132
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: You know. That's the peel off the ceiling, that's yeah,

133
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: that's the sugar high Josh. And the tipped interception in

134
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: the end zone even if it wasn't, I don't know

135
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: where he was throwing it, you know, I mean there

136
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: was it was a crowd, and then the other two

137
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: were the other one was tipped as well. So it

138
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: was it was a bad day for him, so and

139
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: it was. It was his career worst passer rating day.

140
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: Seventeen is the lowest passer rating he has ever posted

141
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: in a football game. His previous low was twenty four

142
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: in his rookie season when he played or not his

143
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: rookie season. Sorry, twenty nineteen, Week four against the Patriots,

144
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: thirteen to twenty eight, one hundred and fifty three yards

145
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: passing three picks, and that was the game he got concusted.

146
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: That was here, Yeah, when he got concut right, um

147
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: that was his previous low. Yesterday topped it. So let

148
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: me ask you this. In a game where the Bills

149
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: had four turnovers, gave up twelve points as a result

150
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: of those turnovers touchdown, field goal, safety, four turnovers, three

151
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: picks by Josh and the turnover on the return that

152
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: when the first safety at the beginning, it was a safety.

153
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: That doesn't count as a turnover. It is right, because

154
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: he had possession. It's not a safety. If he doesn't

155
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: have possession, We have the possession. If they'd have got

156
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: a possession or bit of a touchdown, No, no, no,

157
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: I mean if the punt returner is not deemed to

158
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: have possession and it's a muff, that's a touchback, right

159
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: am I right about that? It's a fumble we didn't lose.

160
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: It isn't because then how is it a safety because

161
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: you had possession, you lost it, but we got it back. Otherwise,

162
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: because Kumaro covered it, so Kumarro covered it, so it

163
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: was a fumble. We lost and didn't lose because I

164
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: was thinking, here's what I was thinking, you're correct me. Here,

165
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: I was thinking, if the punt is muffed, right, right,

166
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: So I'm saying, if it is a muff and they

167
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: recover it in the end zone, is it a touchback

168
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: if we no? No, yea, if it was If it's

169
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: a muff, If it's a muff and they recover it, yes,

170
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: it's a it's a touch it's a touchback. Okay. That

171
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: I just want to establish that difference. We speedy had possession, right,

172
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: lost it, right, we recover in the end zone, it's

173
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: a safety. Right. If it's a muff and we recover

174
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: in the end zone, it's a touchback. That's the difference.

175
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: I got you. So to me, in my head, it's

176
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: a turnover. So let's just say it. So let me.

177
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm kind, I'm with you. I keep saying it's four

178
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: turnovers you but technically it's not not right. But yes,

179
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: it's still a huge mistake. Okay. So let's so let's

180
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: restate the question. Four turnovers, twelve points to the opposition

181
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: and you win by fourteen. What do we take from that?

182
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: What do you take from that? Well, Falcons have a

183
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: long way to go. Yeah, I was gonna ask, does

184
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: that mean the Falcons are that bad or does it

185
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: mean the Bills are so good? Falcons have a long

186
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: way to go, But the Bills are also very good.

187
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: And they showed some poise and some ability to I

188
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: think for even for Josh to swallow their pride a

189
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: little bit and say, you know, well, we better settled

190
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: down here and just see what we can do. Yeah,

191
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: their offensive line had its best game. Josh had time

192
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: to throw it when he needed to throw it. They

193
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: moved guys around in the run game. They controlled the

194
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. On Josh's two touchdowns, he walked in

195
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: without getting he was in the end zone without getting touched.

196
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: Even on the one to the near side. He didn't

197
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: get touched by a Falcon until he was in the

198
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: end zone. This offensive line, and I'll say this too,

199
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: I saw Dawson Knox throw a couple of really, really

200
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: crucial blocks in the run game yesterday. I didn't watch

201
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: him every play, but on Josh's first touchdown to the nearest,

202
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: on the second touchdown on the near side, and we

203
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: ran through all that was student body right. Knox made

204
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: it an absolutely critical block right at the end of

205
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and you know, Spencer Brown, Mitch

206
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: Morrise and Devin Singletary lead the way and they're just there.

207
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: They had no chance at stopping that, no chance, oh no.

208
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: And you know Dawson Knox's block on it, I mean

209
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: he was he held off. He held the line of

210
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: scrimmage and allowed Morrison, Spencer Brown to go out untouched

211
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: and get out in front of him. And it was

212
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: just you know, as off to the races. Offensive line

213
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: played extremely well in the game where this team really

214
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: had to do something and they had to beat the

215
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: Falcons left handed yesterday and they did it by two touchdowns.

216
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: That is the one concern I take out of the

217
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: game is Josh's variance in play from one week to

218
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: the next. Arguably played his best game of the season

219
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: start to finish against the Patriots on the road, comes home,

220
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: plays plays against a below a Ridge Falcons team, and

221
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: has his worst game of the season, at least in

222
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: terms of passering. It's the worst game of his career.

223
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: That's not the kind of week to week variance in

224
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks play, especially a team that depends on their

225
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: quarterback as much as the Bills do. You don't want

226
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: that this time of year. My hope is the stinker

227
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: is out of the way now right, That's my hope.

228
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: But he's got to put a rock solid performance together

229
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: this coming week to feel a little bit better about things,

230
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: don't It doesn't. Yeah, here's here's the way I feel

231
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: about the whole thing. If you put this transpose Josh

232
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: and the playoffs that we're about to enter, and even

233
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: onto this game against the Jets. When you get into

234
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: the playoffs, you say, there's say the top six teams,

235
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: because the Chargers at the seventh spot, with Vegas and

236
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh right there in Miami, Baltimore, all those teams at

237
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: eight and eight, seven and seven and one of the

238
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh nine and seven and nine to seven and nine

239
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: and seven, the Chargers, the Colts, and New England in

240
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: their New England's not going anywhere. But if Indianapolis LA

241
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: of those top six teams and throw LA Chargers out,

242
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: we'll leave the LA Chargers in if you want. It

243
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what I see. There three teams that have

244
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: got the guy at quarterback Kansas City, Cincinnati, Buffalo have

245
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: got the guy. Tennessee, New England, Indianapolis not so much.

246
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: And you're starting to line these teams up and people saying,

247
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want any part of Indianapolis,

248
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't listen. I would rather I'll take my guys

249
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: against Indianapolis in their building with our quarterback. I will

250
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,119
Speaker 1: take that matchup. I'll take New England, I'll take Tennessee

251
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: with their quarterback. Tennessee's the one seed. And I'll tell

252
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: you this. If you want to talk and this has

253
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: been thrown around two, you want to talk about a

254
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: guy who's done the best job, Mike Vrabel's got to

255
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: be in the conversation. Yeah, Mike Vrabel and that Tennessee's team.

256
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: When they lost Derrick Henry, everybody wrote them off. Not

257
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: so fast, not so fast. He has done an outstanding

258
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: job keeping that team together, and they've got enough of

259
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: a roster without Derrick Henry to be the one seed.

260
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: That's pretty outstanding. I think Mike Grabel deserves a lot

261
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: of credit. He's really coaching those guys up because they

262
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: do little things details in games. Their clock management is

263
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: spot on, their analytics and game management is spot on.

264
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: They have won a number of games this year because

265
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel is standing on the sidelines for him. I

266
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: gotta tip my hat to those guys. They just grind

267
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: out game. They grind it out. It's a one score game,

268
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: it's not even a big deal. We're just gonna keep

269
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: New England hanging, New England hanging fifty points on Jacksonville. Okay,

270
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: that's awesome. I'd still take them. I'll still take that matchup.

271
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: I'll take Buffalo against Indianapolis, New England, Tennessee, any of

272
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: those guys, and I'll and I'd like our guy better,

273
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: because when you get to this point, you can't you

274
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: can't get away from the fact that in this league,

275
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: ultimately you gotta have a guy that can throw it

276
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: from the pocket and win. And I don't know if

277
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: those other teams, those three teams I named named can.

278
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to go near Cincinnati right now. I

279
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: think they can go toe to toe with any of

280
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: the highest scoring teams in football. Yeah, and I'll tell

281
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: you Borrow is on, I'll tell you why. And those

282
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: three wideouts are a problem. I'll tell you why. You

283
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: know why Cincinnati's playing so well right now. Certainly they

284
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: got players. Confidence is a really good coach, well, right,

285
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: but they have three guys that are mismatches. Tyler Boyd

286
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: is one of the top three slot receivers in the league.

287
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: He is a really good route runner, gets separation all

288
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: the time and can take it to the house after

289
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: he catches it. So because not this slot receiver that's

290
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: just moving the sticks, he can go the distance. And

291
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: think about the other two guys they got, and Jamar

292
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: Chase showed you he can go to the distance yesterday

293
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: he had a seventy two yard or an eighteen yard

294
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: or had three touchdowns yesterday. And he's he's stocky, like

295
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: he's not. He's kind of like Deebo Samuel. He's thick,

296
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: but he can run. And then Higgins just jumps higher

297
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: than everybody else. So he's a size is a good player.

298
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: They've got a really good roster over there. The playing

299
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: with a lot of confidence in Cincinnati going into Kansas

300
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: City like they did yesterday after Kansas City has been

301
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: playing so well for the last two months and do

302
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: it at home they were in Cincinnati, but doing that

303
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: in their building after falling behind big time to Kansas City.

304
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: The most amazing thing to me is their offensive line

305
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: is still garbage. They still can't protect Joe Burrow and

306
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Yeah, their line is not good. Like

307
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: if you if they run into a good pass rush team,

308
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: they could have problems. Yeah, but they seem to overcome

309
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: that anyway. This is the time of year also where

310
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: teams and they can run the ball. You get it.

311
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: You get in a playoff game, in the second half

312
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: of a playoff game, and their offensive line has been

313
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: hot garbage all day. And I don't want to say

314
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: anything about anything, but you've seen it. I've seen it

315
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: over the course of the decades that I've been watching

316
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: the game. Once in a while, you'll get a guy

317
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: who says, you know what, I'm take a roughing the

318
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: pass a call. This guy ain't gonna get up. Yeah,

319
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: you can find me seventeen grand, but I'm going to

320
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: the next round because this guy's not going right. You know.

321
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: That's just that. That's what the Giants did with Joe

322
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: Montana twenty eighties and nineties. That's right. They knew they

323
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: had to go through San Francisco to get to the

324
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They had a tough time stopping that timing rhythm,

325
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: Ultimate Coast Office. Ultimately, that's why we played the Giants

326
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl twenty five. Jim Burt knocked him

327
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: out in the game when they advanced to the Super

328
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: Bowl to play you guys in Super Bowl twenty five,

329
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: and then Bruce knocked him out in Kansas City, and

330
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: then Championship game, Leonard Marshall knocked him out. Actually, Leonard

331
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: Marshall knocked him out to go to that Super Bowl

332
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: against you guys back in eighty six. Jim Burt decked

333
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: him and they went to the Bowl that year against

334
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: Denver ninety three. At the end of ninety three early

335
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: ninety four for Super Bowl twenty eight, Jim ended Joe's career.

336
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: Joe was the last game Joe ever played him was

337
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: the FC Championship, right for the Chief got concuss He

338
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: got concussed by Bruce. Now that that was the only

339
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: way to stop Joe a lot of the time, and

340
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: he had to knock him out of the games. Yeah,

341
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: that's and listen, that's the harsh reality of a game

342
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: that's played by big dudes who don't really care if

343
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: they get fined fifteen grand Let's go to the phones

344
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: at eight oh three five fifty one, eight eight five

345
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: fifty two, five fifty gets your biggest takeaways from yesterday's

346
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: win come back whin but over the Falcons. But that's

347
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: that's the way I see it, Brownie. I mean, overall,

348
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: look at those teams in the playoffs Tennessee, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Buffalo,

349
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: New England, Indianapolis, Chargers go down, and it could still

350
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: change at the bottom, right, it could change at the Chargers,

351
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: and you know, and maybe Indianapolis. But take stock of

352
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: who's got the guy at quarterback and those are the

353
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: teams you look at first as being able to go

354
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: into the second round and third round of the playoffs,

355
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: and he has to win to stay in right, and

356
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: they play the Jaguars, so yes, you would assume them

357
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: coming out with a victory this week. And then the

358
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: Raiders have do they have the Broncos or does the

359
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Raiders play or do the Chiefs have the Broncos? Chiefs

360
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: have the Broncos? Hold on, let me just can you

361
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,239
Speaker 1: look that up. I'm gonna go to the phones at

362
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: eight o three, five fifty. We're gonna lead off with

363
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: Mark and Buffalo. Mark, what do you have for us?

364
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, Yeah, question for Steve

365
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmunds. The guy's got a lot of talent, obviously,

366
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: Do the Bills utilize this guy the right way? I

367
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: compare him to Parsons from Dallas number eleven. He was

368
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: a linebacker at Penn State. They got that guy up

369
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: and din the whole defensive line, rushing the quarterback, get

370
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: into the quarterback, stop and run plays all the time. Edmunds.

371
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: You see him, He's always over running plays. Yesterday you

372
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: saw him trying to rush the quarterback. He gets held

373
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: up by a tackle. He doesn't even put his arms

374
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: up in the air to try and knock the balls out.

375
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: What do you think of his play? So? Yeah, But

376
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: I think Tremaine's really gifted, no question, And they like

377
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: his athletics. They use him differently than a lot of

378
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: people use air linebackers. And I'll say this too. The

379
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: one thing you see with Tremaine that bugs a lot

380
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: of people is he doesn't seem instinctive, you know what

381
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Like like you say, like, he doesn't really

382
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't get his arms up, doesn't use his length right,

383
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: He overruns plays in the running game, sometimes has trouble

384
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: disengaging from blocks once in a while. But this is

385
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: a guy that does what they want him to do

386
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: a lot, and they don't. They use him where they

387
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: want where he's at his best, and that's not where

388
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: normal middle linebackers we see do things. So yeah, I

389
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: think he does exactly what they want him to do.

390
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: I think they got high hopes for him. He's not

391
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: going anywhere, I'll say that. But I see what you

392
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: do too. I see sometimes where you see a guy

393
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: where who would have taken a little bit of a

394
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: different angle being able to make the play, or instead

395
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: of trying to take on a blocker and let somebody

396
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: else make the play, knife behind the blocker and make

397
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: the play. Tremaine does some of that, and he gets

398
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: washed down sometimes sometimes he gets fooled once in a while. Yeah,

399
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: you see him something ONCET in a while. His play

400
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: is frustrating for Bills fans to watch, but I know

401
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: this when push comes to shove, the coaches and the

402
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: players that the Bills play against have a lot of

403
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: respect for him. They think he's a really good player

404
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: and the Bills know it too. So as different as

405
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: he plays his position than the Bills than Bill's opponents

406
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: have their middle linebackers playing. I think the Bills are

407
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: happy with the way he plays his spot, and I

408
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: see what you do. Sometimes it's frustrating to watch him

409
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: and he doesn't do it exactly the way other guys

410
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: do it, and sometimes it's like, oh, you should have

411
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: done this or that. I get all that, but I

412
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: think they love the way the guy plays and they'll

413
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: use him as and I think his versatility and as

414
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: much as he as athletic as he is and as

415
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: big as he is, I think that gives them the

416
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: ability to use him in all those spots. So he

417
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: does so much stuff, really really well. But I'm with you,

418
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything he does better than

419
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: anybody else in the whole league, you know what I'm saying.

420
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: So while it always seems like once in a while

421
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: he'll come up a little bit short, I think they

422
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: love the way he plays and the leadership he provides.

423
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: And certainly fans don't see the intangibles out there, but

424
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: I know this coaching staff loves him. I know his

425
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: teammates love him, and I know a lot of the

426
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 1: teams around the division certainly and around the AFC Conference

427
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: and in around the league wish he was on their team.

428
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: So that's all I can say. I know he's frustrating

429
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: at times for Bills fans because he's not a typical

430
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: middle linebacker in the way they use him and the

431
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: way his skill set is. But the guy can really go.

432
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna have to live with all

433
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: this other stuff that I've been mentioning because he's good

434
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: enough and everything they ask him to do, and he's

435
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: versatile enough to do so many things a lot of

436
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: linebackers cannot do. We kind of live with that, you know.

437
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: I think that's the way I see it. Certainly. I

438
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: know he's frustrating sometimes to watch, but man oh man,

439
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: this defense is at the top of the league and

440
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: he's the centerpiece. Yeah. And while Michael Parsons says certainly

441
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: set the league on fire with thirteen and a half

442
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: sacks for the Dallas defense, which is playing pretty good

443
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: defense so far this season, to compare the two, I

444
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: don't know if it's totally fair because they're asked to

445
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: do completely different things. I mean, basically, Micah Parsons has

446
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: zero responsibility in his defense. They move him all around

447
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: the front and it's seat quarterback hit quarterback. That's really

448
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: all he is asked to do, with the exception of

449
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: when it's a run play. And again they just asked

450
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: him to find the football. They don't really scheme things

451
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: up for him to be responsible for. You know, read

452
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: this drop into coverage. He doesn't have to do any

453
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: of that stuff. He's going forward all the time, and

454
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: they use him in the right way because he's very

455
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: effective in doing that and it is probably gonna be

456
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: the defensive rookie of the year. So I understand the

457
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: frustration when you see a guy like that come out

458
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: in the draft, gets picked right around the spot where

459
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: Tremaine got picked, and like, this guy's setting a world

460
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: on fire, and year one, what's going on with our guy? Well,

461
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: our guys led the league, led the team and tackles

462
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: every single year that he's been here. And I understand

463
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: middle linebackers typically do that for teams. Yeah, I kind

464
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: of agree with Steve. Ask him to do a lot more.

465
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot more on Tremaine Edmond's played as a

466
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: player than there is on Michael Parson's plate. I don't

467
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: know if it's a completely fair comparison. Let's go back

468
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: to the phones. We go to John in Rochester. What

469
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: do you got for us? John? Uh? Yeah. First of all,

470
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I make it clear that

471
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm a Buffalo Bills fan. However, the Bills were extremely

472
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: lucky that the officials live in Orchard Park. Yesterday, Matt

473
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: Ryan totally got taken touchdown away where he was not

474
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: trying to give himself up, and even if he was

475
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: trying to give himself up, player would have been hit

476
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: with a late hit call which would evolve set the

477
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: tawning penalty. It just seemed Steve, what was your take

478
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: on that play? Did you feel that he was trying

479
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: to give himself up and it should should not have

480
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: been called a touchdown? Yeah, you've seen I've seen that play.

481
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: There may be double digit examples across the league all

482
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: year of that exact thing, and not maybe not at

483
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: the touchdown, but certainly at the touchdown, no question, but

484
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: also for the first downs for any line to gain

485
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: whenever the guy's going down and nobody forces him down,

486
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: if he's diving, when you dive, no matter what happens,

487
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: if your knee, elbow, body shin anything other than your

488
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: feet or your hand touches the ground, you're down wherever

489
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: the ball is, and they go down just like they

490
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: did yesterday. Now they hit in the in the end zone. Yeah,

491
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: you could make a case for a poor you're getting

492
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: a roughing the passer, except for the fact that guy's

493
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: going head first. Yeah, he declared himself as a runner. Yeah,

494
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: he's outside the pocket. He's running. If guy would have

495
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: been a running back, you wouldn't have a problem with that.

496
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: You wouldn't say that. And so when Matt Ryan puts

497
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: the ball under his arm and takes off and he's

498
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: outside the numbers going in, he may as well have

499
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: a twenty three on his back rather than the two.

500
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: He's not a quarterback anymore. If you want to safe

501
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: as an or, you can hit him anywhere you want,

502
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: if you want to say the head, if you want

503
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: to say poor was late, Okay, But yeah, I don't

504
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: I didn't have it. That's not the one that I

505
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: had a problem with that. There are some other spots

506
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: in the game where, um, I know that, you know,

507
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: some people said, wow, we gotta call there or whatever.

508
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. To me, they still owe us. But

509
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: in that in that situation. No, that slide in the

510
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: game play with Jock with Matt Ryan going into the

511
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: end zone when his knee hit short of the line,

512
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, and that we've they've called that across

513
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: the league that way all season. They took a second

514
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: look at it, they got it. That's right. They did

515
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: call it a touchdown and Matt Ryan paid the price

516
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: for It's hard to it's hard to say they got

517
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: it wrong when they called a touchdown, like you're you're saying,

518
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: um and then come back look at and say, oh,

519
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: wait a minute, his knee was down because when he's

520
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: he's going down on his own volition. So he is

521
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: giving himself up because when he goes down, nobody pushed

522
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: him down, nobody pulled him down, Nobody. He's diving to

523
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: make the line to game, so he's giving up on

524
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: getting more yards or getting into the end zone. And

525
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: they call that right because that you know that his

526
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: knee was down, the ball was a half yard short.

527
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: And then on top of the taunting, Yeah, he's right,

528
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: that was a taunt. I mean we've seen that called

529
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: all week. That's and the ref is right there and

530
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: I get it. It's a tikie tack call. But in

531
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: this day and age, when the quarterback does it, I mean,

532
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: Josh is getting called for taunting. You know, So that

533
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: I hear you. That is a That is a twenty

534
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: twenty two penalty. That is not a nineteen seventy nine penalty.

535
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: It's not a two thousand two penalty. It's not a

536
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve penalty. Instead of third and goal

537
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: at the half yard line, it's third and goal from

538
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: the sixteen. In decades past, maybe up until two or

539
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: three years ago, that's a touched down and everybody and no,

540
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: no taunting penalty, knew nothing. But this year, that exact

541
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: play would have been called exactly the same way all

542
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: seventeen all eighteen weeks of the season. So I get

543
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: what you're saying, and you're right, I'm maybe even what

544
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: five years ago, that's a touchdown for the for the Falcons,

545
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: and now now it's neither. It's not a touchdown, it's

546
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: a penalty on the Falcons and they go away empty

547
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: handed that and that's where we're at. Yeah, but they

548
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: as far as that's been cold like that all year,

549
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: that's been called like that all year. Yeah, Now you

550
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: can not like it or like it. I get it,

551
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: but no, I did that. That was quirky. I mean,

552
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: I've never seen that before. That's a first where you

553
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: get not only do you not get the touchdown. Now

554
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: it's third and sixteen, third and goal from the sixteen.

555
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, that's that's pretty egregious. But that's that's

556
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: on you. But that all both those calls, both those

557
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: calls under the letter of the law are exactly what

558
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: we've seen called all year. Yeah, and you could pick

559
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: up I'll bet you there's a handful that we're closer

560
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: than that that we're called that way. We have to

561
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: get to break here, So George and cheek Tawaga, Jeff

562
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: and Depew Hank tight will get to you first when

563
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: we get back to the phone toy after the break.

564
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: We'd be remiss if we did not mention. In case

565
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: you have not heard yet, the Bills game this coming

566
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,720

Speaker 1: five PM along with the new England at Miami game.

568
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: Knowing those two games are going to determine the outcome

569
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: of the division in terms of who takes home the

570
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: division title, they move both games till late afternoon games.

571

572
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: you might want to get here early to tailgate, but

573
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: knowing the game doesn't start untill four twenty five may

574
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: impact your actual arrival time. So just be aware of

575
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,120

578
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: Football Monday, it's One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

579
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live.

580
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: Chris brown Seed tasker with you, and we wanted to

581
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: mention a couple of things coming out of yesterday's game.

582
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: Bills are now one of three teams to have double

583
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: digit victories in each of the last three seasons. The

584
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: only other two teams to do that in the league

585
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: currently Green Bay Kansas City. That's the list, double digit

586
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: wins each of the last three seasons. Mc dermott now

587
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: the second coach and team history to reach the playoffs

588
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: in four of his first five seasons, joining Marv Levy,

589
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame head coach. He's also one of

590
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: four head coaches currently to lead his team to the

591
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: playoffs in at East the last three years. Lafleur has

592
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: done it in the last three years, so has Vabel

593
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: with the Titans, and Andy Reid has done it each

594
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: of the last seven seasons with the Chiefs. Yeah, short list.

595
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking. I was listening to Salo on the

596
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: way and people were talking about, um, you know, calling saying,

597
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, we could have the Bills could have been

598
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: the one seed. You know, if they if Josh Josh

599
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: doesn't slide and slip and fall in Tennessee. Yeah, the

600
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: Jacksonville or even the pass interference in Tampa Bay first

601
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: Patriots game. So the Bills could have been the ones.

602
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, you're right. And I think one

603
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: thing that should tell you is a couple of things.

604
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: Bills have got a squad, they're good, and they're gonna

605
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: be good for now and in the near future. But this,

606
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: that's how fragile these opportunities are. You got like four

607
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: games left, this this game, this weekend means something. You

608
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: got to win this game, you gotta and from then

609
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: on you're gonna come down to the point where it's

610
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: gonna be one play in your season. And to tell

611
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: you how different things could be based on a winner

612
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: loss This Sunday, Steve the Bills win, the greatest odds

613
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: are that they will face the Patriots here at home

614
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: next week. It's a thirty three percent chance of that happening.

615
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: The next highest percentage is the Colts at twenty eight percent,

616
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: followed by the Raiders at twenty seven percent. If the

617
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: Bills lose on Sunday, there is a very strong chance

618
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: they go to Kansas City for the wild Card round,

619
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: very strong chance if they lose on Sunday. So it's

620
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: a difference between hosting one of the lower ranked playoff

621
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: teams in the first week of the playoffs. Are going

622
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: back to Casey, right, that's not what I want right now. Yes,

623
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: we'll talk to them later. And that's what I said too.

624
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: And for the rest of the bracket. They would love

625
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: to see Kansas City play Buffalo, or Cincinnati play Kansas City,

626
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: or Cincinnati play Buffalo, because you got like I said,

627
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: it's the quarterbacks that you're looking at in these playoffs.

628
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: It's Burrow, Mahomes, Josh Allen, and maybe one of the

629
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: either Herbert Herbert or you know, car but Indianapolis, New

630
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: England Tennessee. They're not quarterback centric teams. And you can say, well,

631
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: that'd give you know, in the playoffs, you gotta have

632
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: the guy because it does come down to one of

633
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,919
Speaker 1: this play that player, this player that play. You gotta

634
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: have a got the ball. You gotta have a guy

635
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: that can make that that play. And that's that's where

636
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: you're at. Um. The rest of the bracket would love

637
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: to see mahomes Alan and Burrow knock each other out. Yeah,

638
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: and for and for the other teams. Who you want,

639
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, the Colts to play Tennessee. Tennessee's gonna get

640
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: a buy it looks like, but you want, you know,

641
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: somebody's got to go in And how this mixes up

642
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: to me is really interesting. But that's how fragile this

643
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: opportunity in these seasons are. You get to this point

644
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: you're talking about, you know, somebody or other coughing the

645
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: ball up the wrong time, or throwing a bad pick

646
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: or um, you know, pick six or whatever, or a

647
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: penalty at the wrong time. You're done, Thin Margins. Let's

648
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: get back to the phones. At eight O three five

649
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty to

650
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: George and cheek Dowago. We go, well, yeah, first, George,

651
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: how are you doing? When he was George, I'm really

652
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: from Buffalo. I was wondering how KU bad mouths our

653
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: team like this because our team, our running game was unbelievable.

654
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the three interceptions he threw, we're terrible, right,

655
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: there were tipped and to Steve Tasker, I hope he's

656
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame, and uh, listen to what

657
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: you gotta say. Okay, I'm sorry, I think we're bad

658
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: mouth on our team. Just stating where there were struggle yesterday.

659
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 1: We're not saying they saw Yeah, a couple of interceptions

660
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: were tipped, no question about it. Um and the offensive

661
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 1: and the we talked about how the offense. They just

662
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: said this over. I said this last night with Maddie.

663
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: It's like the Bills voluntarily became one dimensional. You know what,

664
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: forget it, We're handing it off. And when you do

665
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: that of your own accord, that's that's pretty impressive, right

666
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: it is because Falcons weren't stopping him from throwing the football.

667
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: Josh was, you know, making some throws that we're getting

668
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: tipped and all that. But I'm telling you this, when

669
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: you decided to say, listen, we're gonna beat you. We're

670
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna run the football and you're not gonna score a

671
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: point in the second half. That's pretty impressive. So I'm sorry, Yeah, George,

672
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: you're right. Yeah, I mean, if we're you know, if

673
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: you're bummed at the mouthings a little strong. But I'm

674
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: just pointing out where there were some deficiencies yesterday. That

675
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: variance in Josh's play is a little bit of a concern,

676
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: going from his best game of the season to passer

677
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: rating wise his worst in the span of seven days. Yeah,

678
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: he cannot his his play cannot have wide swings like that.

679
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: In the playoffs, They're gonna get bounced if that happens. Yeah,

680
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: And I'm just alerting everybody to that fact, not saying

681
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: he can't recoup and be back to normal next week.

682
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: Still the same guy, and I think this is still

683
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: the team. And I think the fact that they won

684
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 1: that game in the manner that they did, because that's

685
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 1: not the team that we've come to expect to see

686
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: it week in week out. The team we saw yesterday,

687
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: that was not the way that now they won being

688
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: somebody else, being a running team in the second half

689
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: of that game, but even with Josh that Josh wasn't

690
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: playing like himself yesterday. You can say what you want

691
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: about the conditions, certainly early on. I think if it

692
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: was September and he makes those three throws too, you know,

693
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: one two digs, one to Beasley, and I think one

694
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: too Gabe where they all all three switched through their

695
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: hands because he threw it to I think that those

696
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: balls get caught in eighty degree weather. I think they

697
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: get caught. So yeah, I'm that's not They won in

698
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: a way different way than we're used to seeing them

699
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: win this year and all of last year as well,

700
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: So I think they did it. Like I said earlier,

701
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: I think they beat him left handed yesterday, and it's

702
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 1: pretty impressive that they got it done in the manner

703
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: they did, in the way touchdowns and the way that

704
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: they're running the ball here of late is an encouraging

705
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: thing because I think as little as three weeks ago,

706
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: most people that root for this team were of the

707
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: opinion that Josh has to play like a superhero for

708
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 1: this team to beat anybody, and if he can, they'll

709
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: beat anybody. But if he's a little bit off, we

710
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: had Rich Gannon former NFL MVP on Our Bills by

711
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: the Numbers podcast last week, and he said he's concerned

712
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: about how much they depend on Josh to do everything

713
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: for this offense and that if they can't turn to

714
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: something else, that could get him in trouble in a

715
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: playoff game if Josh is not playing lights out football. Now,

716
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: do I think he'll bounce back and play great this week? Yeah,

717
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: I do, because he's too good to have a day

718
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: like he had yesterday with any sense of regularity, it's

719
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: not going to happen. But once you get to the postseason,

720
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: he's got to stay at that level consistently for this

721
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: team to go all the way. Now, what they discovered

722
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: in the run game, I think is very encouraging and

723
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: if they can turn to that and be productive with that,

724
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: then they're even more dangerous. I'll say this their offensive line.

725
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: We've been talking about it every single day for two

726
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: months about how it's been shuffled around. I think it's

727
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: been one of the real issues for the offense on

728
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: the season, the fact that they've had no zero stability

729
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: in their offensive line because of the injuries covid forget

730
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown missed a bunch of games with a back injury,

731
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: then he had ad all that stuff. They were they

732
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: never had the same guys on the field for long stretches,

733
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: and now now they feel like they've kind of hit

734
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: on a combination and those guys played really well yesterday. Yeah,

735
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: really did leave with a knee injury late in the game,

736
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: but it doesn't look to be serious. We'll probably know

737
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: more when coach McDermot addresses the media late this afternoon.

738
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: But even if for some reason he can't go, John

739
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: Feliciano is ready to go now, and so you can

740
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: just plug him in. And that's a guy that started

741
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: a ton of games for this team each of the

742
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: last three season. Guys just signed an extension because he

743
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: was playing so well at guard. So yeah, I mean

744
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: they got all right. Yeah. I really feel like the

745
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: offensive line particularly and yesterday when they let those guys

746
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: you know, turned them loose and start running up behind him, man,

747
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: I think it was I think that kind of shows

748
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: something to this offensive line, like, Okay, they might trust

749
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: him a little more to hand it off in different

750
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: situations where they might have said, you know why, we

751
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: better throw it here because I don't know if we

752
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: can get those four yards, you know what I'm saying.

753
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: So maybe the coaching staff is given these guys a

754
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: message like, Okay, guys, you've showed us something here in

755
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: this Atlanta game. Here we got squeeze in Jeff into

756
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: pew before the break. Jeff, what do you have for

757
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 1: us your one bill's life. Well, Steve, I feel bad

758
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: for you that you're not in all of fame. You're

759
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: the greatest special teams player ever to play the game.

760
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 1: And that is part one. Part two is I remember

761
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: when Jim Kelly threw four interceptions against Cincinnati on a

762
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: Monday night game and Josh was just like that yesterday

763
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: he threw three. Wasn't his fault, but you know why

764
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: it happens. And he comes back and he's gonna come back.

765
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: He's our leader. Yeah. And then the thing with Antonio Brown,

766
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: that man has issues, Well, yeah, unfortunately he does. And

767
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: thanks for the calle Jeff. We you know, as as

768
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: out of left field as Antonio Brown's actions were, I

769
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: think at the core of it, it's a guy that

770
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: unfortunately needs some help. I think hopefully he gets the

771
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: help that he needs, because that's just not how you

772
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: conduct yourself as a professional. But I think there are

773
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: deeper seated things there with him, especially with his recent

774
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: history over the last three years. So it's unfortunate. But yeah,

775
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: he's cost himself what is probably going to be his

776
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: last opportunity as a professional football player in the NFL. Anyway,

777
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: maybe he pops up in the XFL when they get

778
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: started or that other league that's getting rolling USFL. But yeah,

779
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: and it's not going to happen. And the thing about

780
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: it is now, I don't know what his personal life's likely,

781
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have He's not working for a team

782
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: like the Bucks or anybody else who are there to

783
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: support him anymore. Right, He's on his own. Yeah, the

784
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: support system, the player development, so whatever got him to

785
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: the state that he's in right now, which in large

786
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: measure by all accounts is him and the people he

787
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: surrounds himself with. It ain't gonna get better now. Yeah,

788
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,160

807
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: players in the same game had multiple rushing touchdowns. The

808
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: other time was back in nineteen seventy eight Steve against

811
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: other time it happened in team his straight yesterday, I

812
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: think I don't know who toying Maddy might have told

813
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: me that, yes, I go, I go who seventy eight? Yeah,

814
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: we're going back? I had. I did not know either

815
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: of those former Bills players, had never heard either of

816
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 1: their names, and they both had a couple of touchdowns

817
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: in that game against the Giants. I had heard of

818
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: the names. Could not tell you what they did in

819
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: their Bills careers, No, but yes, had seen them on

820
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: various lists, you know, you look up over the years

821
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: and right, that kind of thing. But pretty amazing. We

835
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: very big game playing family growing up, so I think

836
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: let's just say, let's just say me being hyper competitive

837
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: was a was a groomed thing in my household and

838
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: on a long island, And it resurfaced this past weekend

839
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: because my in laws have everybody over for New Year's

840
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: Day and all the all the all of our kids,

841
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 1: the cousins all get together. They do like a white

842
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,240
Speaker 1: elephant thing, you know, right right right, you know, gifts

843
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: you don't know what it is. You know, I pick first,

844
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: Oh you can steal mine, afty open and all that

845
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: old thing game. Well, they also had a trivia contest,

846
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: not a trivia but it was like it was a

847
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: sheet of paper and it had pictures on it that

848
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: represented Christmas songs. So they were riddles though, and you

849
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: had to figure out what Christmas song it was like.

850
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: For example, for oh Holy Night, they had a night

851
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 1: with a sword and he had holes in them, right,

852
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: so you had to guess, oh, that's oh Holy Night,

853
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: that's the song that goes with Some of them are

854
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: a little harder than others, right, So everybody got a sheet.

855
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: We go through the thing, and you know, we're marking

856
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: down the correct answers, and they say, did anybody get

857
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: twenty five right? Because there were twenty five total? Right? Nobody,

858
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 1: And they work their way down twenty one. I had

859
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: twenty one right, and then basically the rest of the

860
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: family looked at me with complete disdain and said, you're annoying.

861
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, exactly, So yeah, see that that's my

862
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the one we have here, the Who's

863
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: the Man? I swear you go. You read through those

864
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: cards in your spare you go over there and you're like,

865
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: I really don't. But I've been here for a minute,

866
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: so I've kind of seen a lot of Bills football.

867
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: It's all most of it's bills guys, right, well, it's

868
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: all all Bills players, coaches, right, people, and I think

869
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 1: general managers. Yeah, I think we had one of those

870
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: questions too, and Hall of Famers, so Ralph Wilson would

871
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: be on there. So yeah, it's a fun game. You

872
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: can pick it up at the bill store. Who's the Man?

873
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 1: Who's the Man? It's pretty good game. It's a little

874
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: pocket card game. You can bring it in the car

875
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: with you can take it to a tailcout. We thought

876
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: we might bring it out and try it on the show.

877
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: But we might try you make it no fun, so

878
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: we're not gonna. I might have to ask you the questions.

879
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: I'm don't have to be zero fun too, because you

880
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: see me on the numbers. The numbers came. We have

881
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: fun with that. I suck. That's what makes it fun.

882
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: Eight oh three, oh five fifty. To get on board

883
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: here and let us know what your biggest takeaways from

884
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: the game was. Uh Bill's pr tweeted this out. We

885
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: had it kind of jotted down in our notes as well.

886
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: The Bills held the Falcons yesterday to one for seven

887
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: on third down conversions. This a week after holding the

888
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: Patriots offense to one for ten on third down. So

889
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: when the last two weeks Buffalo's third down defense has

890
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: given up two third down conversions on seventeen opportunities, that

891
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: is a nemic for opposing offenses. That's and that's why

892
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots were forced to go forward six times last

893
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: week down. Now they got five of those six, but

894
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: still that's it. That's a scratching four plays to get

895
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: ten yards against that defense. Trying to find a way

896
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: to get just stay on the field and they and

897
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: you know, to the credit the Patriots did it. They

898
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: you know, they're still lost by double digits. But man,

899
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: oh man, when your defense is putting an offense on

900
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: that kind of pressure, Yeah, that's rough. So there are

901
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: percentages for who the Bills playoff opponents could be. None

902
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: of these teams are anywhere near fifty percent or better

903
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: than a fifty percent chance of drawing the Bills in

904
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 1: Round one of the playoffs. So right now, the team

905
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: with the greatest probability to face the Bills not this week,

906
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: next week obviously, Wildcard round the Patriots at thirty three percent.

907
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: The Colts come next at twenty eight percent likelihood, Raiders

908
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: third at twenty seven percent, and then it really drops

909
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 1: off from there. Charger seven percent, Chiefs three percent, Steelers

910
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 1: one percent, Cincinnati, Tennessee in Baltimore, who were all could

911
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: see some shifting in where they wind up less than

912
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: one percent. So it really looks like Patriots, Cults, Raiders

913
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: are your front runner wildcard round opponent possibilities for the

914
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 1: Bills at least with the greatest percentage of chance happening.

915
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: So we'll see where that goes. And yeah, I get

916
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,919
Speaker 1: down to what do you think? It's the intriguing game

917
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 1: for me outside of our division. All these divisions were

918
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: talking about Week eighteen. Noah, week eighteen. I'm looking down

919
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: this thing and I got I'm just like everybody else.

920
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: I'm on the line. You look through these playoffs scenarios

921
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: and whose wins lug the Chargers Raiders game. It's a

922
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: giant game now, do or die, giant game win and

923
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 1: you're in both those clubs. It's in Vegas, And what

924
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: a story to be for the Raiders to get in

925
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: the playoffs after what happened to them during a regular

926
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: season with Gruden into the whole nine yards, What a

927
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: story that would be. I wonder if they that. I

928
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 1: still think the Raiders will probably get a new head coach,

929
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: but still I don't even know who to pick in

930
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: that game. Well, Las Vegas has been a little bit

931
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: of an enigma here, Like they're they're kind of hard

932
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: to figure out. Some weeks they just they can't do

933
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: anything right, and then other weeks, like I mean, they

934
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: played a decimated Browns team right from COVID. They were

935
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: missing you know, upwards a twenty players, eight starters. They

936
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: bare they need a last second field goal to beat

937
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: him sixteen fourteen. I mean, I know the Browns have

938
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: a good defense, but I mean that's that's a gift

939
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: wrapped victory for you and you barely scrape by. And

940
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: then yesterday they get a win that I don't think

941
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 1: many people thought they were gonna get winning yesterday, um,

942
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: beating the Colts. So good on them, man, I'm telling you,

943
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: some of these teams, they get hot at the right

944
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: time and they get on a roll and they're tough

945
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: to stop. Yeah. I don't know that the Raiders are

946
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: that personally. I don't think they're consistent enough there, right,

947
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: But but it's I mean, it's enough to scare you

948
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: if if you're the Chargers, that's a division opponent that

949
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: knows you well, they're not intimidated by you, you know

950
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: what I mean. So, yeah, that's that's gonna be a

951
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: barn burner. I think, yeah, it's yeah. Um, I think

952
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: that's really gonna be a barnburner. The two games, the

953
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: two games that are interesting as well. There's there's Saturday

954
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: games this week, folks, friends and neighbors. Oh yeah, there's

955
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: double header Sat double header on Saturday. And I think

956
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: it's the Chiefs at Denver and the Cowboys at Philly,

957
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: Philly getting it. That's the night the NFC games the

958
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: night game right eight fifteen and the Chiefs Broncos is

959
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 1: four thirty eastern, so it's a double header late in

960
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: the day. Nice um, Steve Nice, I love you say,

961
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 1: I love that. All my Christmas decorations down, Sit down

962
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 1: in my chair, watch two football games. Call it a night. Yeah, stick,

963
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: and then get ready for sun to stick a working me.

964
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm done and you can. You can stay up and

965
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: watch that whole late game Cowboys Eagles if you want,

966
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: because the Bills aren't playing now until four twenty five. Yeah,

967
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: so stay up late, watch the whole dang thing. Great,

968
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: we have to break here when we come back. More

969
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: of your phone calls and your thoughts on the tweet sheet.

970
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: Biggest takeaways from the Bill's victory over the Falcons. Let

971
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: us know what you think. We got open lines for you.

972
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: We'll be back in a flash here On One Bill's Live,

973
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at

974
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

975
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

976
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:54,439
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

977
00:53:54,520 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: in the strated here of normalcy here all, welcome to

978
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 1: our number two here on a Buffalo victory Monday. Chris Brown,

979
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,240
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, shopping up the game from yesterday

980
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: in which the Bill saw a nine point advantage disappear

981
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: and turn into a one point deficit before putting the

982
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: ball on the ground and winning it going away. Devin

983
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 1: Singletary with a career high one hundred ten rushing yards.

984
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: What do you have? Twenty three carries I think and

985
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: two touchdowns average four point eight to carry as the

986
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: run game did most of the work, especially in the

987
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: second half, as the offense found some life by putting

988
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: the ball on the ground and in the hands of

989
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: him and Josh Allen for the most part yesterday. We

990
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: want to go around the locker room now, though, and

991
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: around the locker room presented by Connect Life, your blood

992
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 1: and organ donor network, and we begin with head coach

993
00:54:55,880 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, who was I never want to say satisfied,

994
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: because coach never seems to be satisfied, and hate doesn't

995
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: really He's not a big fan of using that word,

996
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: but I think he was relatively pleased with the way

997
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: the offense was able to rally in the second half

998
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: with the running game. So here is coach on that

999
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: very subject. I was very impressed with the way the

1000
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,720
Speaker 1: offensive line took over the game and in the running

1001
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: backs as well. I thought Devin that that series the

1002
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 1: two series after so we get to the turnover. Unfortunately

1003
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: after half, defense comes out and makes a huge stop

1004
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: at Oliver made a couple of big plays in that

1005
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: series there, and then you know they take the delay,

1006
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: they pun it goes into the end zone. Great situational

1007
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: football there, and then Devin came out and it was

1008
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: just an animal that next series, which I thought was

1009
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 1: a great momentum boost to our team. Devin was an animal.

1010
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: He was an animal. You see that one run, ten

1011
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: runs out of the dB. It might be up for

1012
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: an angry run. Kyle Brand tweeted it right away, right

1013
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,439
Speaker 1: after it happened. He twe it, it's got a shot.

1014
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: Set the tone for the second half, and I think

1015
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 1: day Ball taking the ball out of Josh's hands and

1016
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: putting it in the hands of the offensive line and

1017
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, it's a big statement. And then when it

1018
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 1: was so successful, and they banged it in there for

1019
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: the touchdown. They came back and said we'll just do

1020
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: it again, and they did it on the next series

1021
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah. I actually wrote about this in top

1022
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: three things we learned from the game yesterday, the running

1023
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: in the red zone in particular, Steve Okay. Now, I

1024
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: hadn't looked this up previously, so I was unaware of this.

1025
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: But coming into the game, the Bills were third in

1026
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: the league in average yards per carry in the red

1027
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: zone three point three one yards per carry inside the

1028
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: opponent's twenty yard line. I think we can all agree

1029
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: that's due in large part to Josh's rushing exploits in

1030
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: the red zone. Yesterday, though they ran it in the

1031
00:56:55,600 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: red zone really well. So all told, yesterday fifteen carries

1032
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: in the red zone for sixty two yards, they average

1033
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: four point one to carry in the red zone where

1034
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: it's really hard to run for respectable yardage. That's the

1035
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: sign of a great football team that's going to win

1036
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: a lot of games that during the threat and the

1037
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: ability to run in the red zone is the difference

1038
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: between really good teams and bad teams. I don't want

1039
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: to overstate it, but I think with the way in

1040
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: which the offense finding itself has been described since the

1041
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: second half of the Tampa game. I think the running

1042
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: game found out something about themselves yesterday, and the way

1043
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: they ran in the red zone is what makes me

1044
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: believe that going forward I might be able to lean

1045
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: on it a little bit more and be more too

1046
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: dimensional through the course of games. I'm not saying fifty fifty,

1047
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: but you know, if Josh has a bad series or two,

1048
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: doesn't really feel like the rhythm is there, well run

1049
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Even if you're being successful throwing it,

1050
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: still got to mix it in, hand it, hand it off.

1051
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it'll work better then than it will even

1052
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: if you're struggling throwing the football. I mean, I think

1053
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: it gives day Ball the confidence that he can mix

1054
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: it in a little bit thicker than he has in

1055
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: the past, knowing he's not gonna be third and twelve

1056
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: or second and eleven. You know, if you can get

1057
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: second and seven, second and six, second and five, that's

1058
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: a big difference, you know. And yeah, so you know

1059
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: they still run. They still throw the football a ton

1060
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: on first down, or usually do. And you know, to

1061
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: have the ability on a second and four to get

1062
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: it to a first down or to a third and

1063
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: you know less than a yard or a yard that

1064
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: it's a huge difference maker because of your willingness to

1065
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: do it and your confidence once she's handed off. Here

1066
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: is how productive Buffalo's run game was on that eleven

1067
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: play eight yard drive to retake the lead in the

1068
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: third quarter, when they relied on Motor A good deal. Okay,

1069
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: Motor had seven of the carries, Josh had the other

1070
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: three motors seven carries plus five plus twenty plus five

1071
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: minus two plus four plus two plus six for the touchdown,

1072
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: Josh plus nine plus fourteen plus seven two of those

1073
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: carries going for first downs. I mean, that's working it

1074
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, nine out of ten ver plus the lady.

1075
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I mean, I get and we we've

1076
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: talked about this a lot, and it becomes, you know,

1077
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: this where you start wringing your hands when things are

1078
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: going so well. You think, okay, what's the problem gonna be?

1079
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: You think, well, Josh, you're gonna take a hit on

1080
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: one too many hits, and it's Mitch Drubisky time. You know,

1081
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 1: in the midst of a playoff run. That's that's the

1082
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: only angst that you get from. And I'll tell you

1083
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: this yesterday. I'll say it again. Josh chose to run

1084
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: those balls because of out of frustration, because he wanted

1085
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: to help, and the only way he was playing well

1086
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: enough to do that was if he held onto the

1087
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: ball and took it through the secondary. You know, you

1088
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: could see it in his body language and everything and

1089
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: the way he finished runs. So I'm I'm kind of

1090
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: with you there. I listen. I like that Josh can run,

1091
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: but I'm much rather him do it like he did,

1092
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, pulling it down, trying to throw it and

1093
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: getting you know, running up on the backs of the dbs.

1094
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: And there was back then, you know, on a on

1095
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,439
Speaker 1: an RPO, keeping it, turning it up inside and taking

1096
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: on a linebacker. Josh addressed Devin Singletary's play. He's clearly

1097
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: a player that Josh respects, just because in his eyes,

1098
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: Devin does everything the right way, even when he's not

1099
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: getting handed the ball. Josh always says, how he's looking

1100
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: for work. I mean, heck, he was in blocking on

1101
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: Josh's touchdown run, right, He was in that convoy there,

1102
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: So I think the practice squad was in front of

1103
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: Josh had like nineteen guys out there, So here is

1104
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: josh On Devin strong play of late. Allude to it

1105
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: every time I talk about him. Every single play you

1106
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: see him doing the right thing. And when you've got

1107
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: a guy that just wants to do the right thing

1108
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: and help the team win, typically those guys are going

1109
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: to make the plays when they're called upon. And he's been.

1110
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: He's been really big for us last few weeks and

1111
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna need him going forward. He knows that, we

1112
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: know that. But to see him kind of take the

1113
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: next step in his career, you know, catching balls out

1114
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: of the backfield, and you saw him running the ball today.

1115
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: He runs extremely hard and again you just I urge

1116
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: you guys to watch him on every single play, whether

1117
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: he's got the ball or not, he continues to go

1118
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: find work down the field, follow the ball, pick up guys,

1119
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, when on the ground, and that's how you

1120
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: should play the game of football. I mean, the way

1121
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 1: Devin goes about his business is clearly respected in that

1122
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: locker room, and now that he's having success, I think

1123
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: that adds even more juice and confidence to that locker

1124
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 1: room as to what they could be. Yeah, it's universal

1125
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: at every level, even for kids playing football and for

1126
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: anybody in any job, hard work is always respected, and

1127
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: particularly when you're playing football, you get an idea where

1128
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: you know your hard work and you're watching Devin Singletary

1129
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: run that he just absolutely to that dB when you're

1130
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: working hard, and particularly is think about Devin Singletary working hard,

1131
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: like Josh has said, they have all seen him do

1132
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: in an offense we're up until the last three weeks,

1133
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: he's less than an afterthought, but he continues to work

1134
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 1: hard and do all the right things. That that's a

1135
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 1: way to garner a lot of respect when guys know

1136
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: you're not going to be the focal point. You know

1137
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: you're not going to be the focal point, but they

1138
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: still continue to see you doing everything right in the

1139
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: locker room, on the field, in the weight room and

1140
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: the meetings. It goes a long way so that when

1141
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: you do have success the way they did yesterday, you

1142
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: know guys are really happy for you. You know it's

1143
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,919
Speaker 1: it's a It strengthens the entire team, and it's only

1144
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: because of what you've the foundation you've laid in the

1145
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: week's precede that, yeah, that pays the benefit when you

1146
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: do get your chance and make the most of it.

1147
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: We already mentioned how the Bills not only ran the

1148
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: ball successfully, they ran it successfully in the red zone,

1149
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,000
Speaker 1: where yards are marked much harder to come by with

1150
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: things packed in a whole lot tighter. Bill's average four

1151
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 1: point one yards to carry on fifteen rushes in the

1152
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: red zone. Mitch Morse here on the team's success running

1153
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 1: the football down there. For us, just executing the red

1154
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: zone is a big thing and any way we can

1155
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: do that, and it's fun to see a running back.

1156
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: It's fun to just score in general. But the way

1157
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 1: those guys have hit the holes, the way we've all

1158
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: kind of had to adapt as the season's progress, especially

1159
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: in the run game. It's it's an ongoing process. I

1160
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: think we can he can attest that as well. It's

1161
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's every week is something different. There's all

1162
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: we're always working on something. Yeah, So it's great to

1163
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: end up with points in the red zone anyway we can.

1164
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:56,160
Speaker 1: But those those running backs have put a lot in

1165
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: their shoulders these last few weeks and really kind of

1166
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: hammering them in and some bags. As another question that

1167
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 1: I asked Mitch in the post game, Steve was how

1168
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: valuable is this knowing how much is on Josh has

1169
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: played every week And Mitch was like nodding before I

1170
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,840
Speaker 1: even finished the question. He goes, I don't think people

1171
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: realize the weight of the world is on Josh's shoulders

1172
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: to get this team to perform at its best. He said,

1173
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: anything that we can do that reduces that burden in

1174
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 1: any way is a plus for our football team. Yeah,

1175
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 1: and for Josh think about it. I mean that, and

1176
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: I said I said it last week and about this

1177
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 1: playoff run that we're on. Josh is what he is.

1178
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: He bears that burden. He can play that way he

1179
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: played in New England, and he can also have days

1180
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 1: like he did yesterday. But at some point in the

1181
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: coming weeks, others are going to have to elevate to

1182
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: beat a really good football team. Josh is not going

1183
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: to be able to do it all by himself. It's

1184
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:03,919
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna take others. Steph Diggs, Cole Beasley, Gabe Davis,

1185
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKinsey, go down the list. All of these guys

1186
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 1: are gonna have to contribute, and the offensive line is

1187
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: certainly gonna have to contribute. The defense is gonna have

1188
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: to contribute, but others are gonna have to elevate. Even

1189
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: if Josh plays well, It's gonna take a bunch of

1190
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: other guys to win when you get deep into the playoffs,

1191
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: and a game like this gives guys like that a

1192
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: lot more confidence that they can do that when the

1193
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 1: chips are down and when you know it's a do

1194
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: or die playoffs scenario if you lose your seasons over.

1195
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: So I said that, Yes, I said it yesterday, and

1196
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: we were leading up to it talking about it during

1197
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 1: the week last week. This was a game where others

1198
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: stepped up and won the game in a game on

1199
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: a day when Josh was not playing as well his best. Yeah,

1200
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: And I would say the two players, based on what

1201
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 1: you describe there needing other guys to step up and

1202
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: join the fray or elevate their games, however you want

1203
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: to characterize it. The two guys that come out of

1204
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: yesterday's game in my estimation our Devin Singletary and at Oliver. Yeah,

1205
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: those two guys elevated their play and it helped carry

1206
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 1: them to a victory. Ed helps stop the bleeding after

1207
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: the third turnover on four pass attempts by Josh literally

1208
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: on three consecutive plays. He made three plays in a row,

1209
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: and Atlanta's punning after a turnover. That's huge. And then

1210
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 1: think about that in a playoff game. But that's what

1211
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying, as you gotta do. Yeah, And so now

1212
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,280
Speaker 1: you've got these young third year players like Singletary and

1213
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: Oliver turning in performances like that. As you said, that

1214
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: gives them confidence, but I think it also raises the

1215
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: confidence if everybody else's playing with them, Like, it's not

1216
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: all on Josh. We got other guys that can deliver

1217
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: some plays when we need them. Let's go right. Yeah,

1218
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: that's exactly right, And that's it's gonna have to be

1219
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: that way. Like the teams that have won it and

1220
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: gone a long way. You think back across you know,

1221
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: you say the defending world champions, the Bucks, Brady okay,

1222
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: but then it turned into their pass rush in the

1223
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and Gronkowski and Antonio Brown and last year's

1224
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl when Mahomes and that team is playing, well,

1225
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 1: it's Mahomes, but it's also you know, Kelsey and Tyreek

1226
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: Hill and their defense comes up and makes plays with

1227
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew, those guys elevate, go down the list. Teams

1228
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: that go deep get contributions for more than their superstar players.

1229
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: And like I said earlier in the show, runs like

1230
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,440
Speaker 1: this that we're about to go on when a guy

1231
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: like Ed Oliver emerges and it has like four great games,

1232
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: that'll follow him for the rest of his if he

1233
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 1: plays nineteen years, that'll follow him. Yeah, that'll follow him

1234
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 1: the rest of his career. Think about the the kudos

1235
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: that Mike Strayhand still gets over those giant runs in

1236
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in the playoffs. You can go down

1237
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: the list of guys over the course of the years

1238
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 1: of different Super Bowl teams who have made their names

1239
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: on runs like that, because it takes those kind of

1240
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: players in addition to whatever superstars you bring to the

1241
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: table to win championships. Harrison, Phillips and Ed Oliver were

1242
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:15,919
Speaker 1: at the podium after the game together and Harrison threw

1243
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 1: a bouquet at Ed for that series we were just

1244
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: talking about. But here is Phillips and Oliver on that

1245
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: third quarter defensive stand after the third pick. We have

1246
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: to stand up there and field goals and takeaways in

1247
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: that situation, and made three great plays in a row.

1248
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:36,679
Speaker 1: Obviously his full team defense, but has got some faky

1249
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: things to him where he can take over a game himself,

1250
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 1: and obviously everybody's gotta be doing their job to play

1251
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 1: great team defense. So yeah, we didn't want to be

1252
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: playing against momentum as a big stand for us defensively

1253
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: to get the ball back on our offensive hands, right

1254
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: I did. I don't know. I feel, like I said

1255
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: before half time, they had just been getting so lucky

1256
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 1: and like I knew it to expect, so I just

1257
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 1: attacked him. He threw the pig. I was like, all right,

1258
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: the tied me to go out. I went out there

1259
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: and just play, let my instincts take over and play.

1260
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: So that's how that's how I felt about it. Can

1261
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: you imagine if you were as physically gifted, where all

1262
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: you have to say is it's time for me to

1263
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 1: take over, and then you do. Can you imagine being

1264
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: that good at something and I get what he's saying

1265
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: to you, where he's sitting there and he's coming off

1266
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 1: the other there's here's your thing, man, because the balls

1267
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: are tipping, the interceptions get tipped. The guy barely scoops

1268
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,640
Speaker 1: the one off the ground that should have been a

1269
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 1: one hopper. That yeah, it was a good catch. Um,

1270
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, get these three interceptions on four pass attempts.

1271
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't Nathan Peterman didn't do that right,

1272
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: So you're thinking, okay, you know this, that's an aberration.

1273
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: And there these guys are getting and it's like ed

1274
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: al we going, man, man, that's enough. That is enough.

1275
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 1: And having the ability to go out there and make

1276
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,599
Speaker 1: it be that's where it stops. You know, that's that's

1277
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 1: pretty special in a game because everybody likes to say

1278
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: they could do that maybe, but those guys down inside

1279
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:04,680
Speaker 1: all they do. You know, you come off the ball

1280
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: and you chase. And I tell you his sack was

1281
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 1: impressive because he got doubled and they're trying to wash

1282
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: him down the line to his right. The offense is left,

1283
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 1: and he just turns his shoulders while running up field,

1284
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 1: so he's he's trying to engage in shed So he

1285
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: sheds and gets skinny and slides right between both of

1286
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: them while Ryan's trying to step up in the pocket

1287
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: and he trips him to get a sack for a

1288
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: four yard loss. I mean, he just goes skinny and

1289
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: then he's there. That's the Terren Johnson sack there. But

1290
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: that was the first sack of the game. Yeah, on

1291
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: a corner blitz. Yeah that was a good play too.

1292
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: But yeah, that Oliver sack, it was pretty impressive. He

1293
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: just got skinny. Ryan tried to step up and he

1294
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: tripped him on and Russeau came around the outside for

1295
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: the sex strip. That was a huge play at the

1296
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: moment in that game when and that was this was

1297
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 1: you think about the offense scoring going up fourteen to two,

1298
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 1: after the after the touch after the safety, and you

1299
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: thought at the you know, midway through the second first quarter.

1300
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: Now it was late in the first quarter, early second

1301
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: quarter when the thought, man, the Bills are way better

1302
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: than this team, way better. And then of course they

1303
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: ends up the Yeah, it ends up the Falcons go

1304
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: in with the lead at halftime. It's like, what's going on.

1305
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 1: But it's really interesting that to me that at this

1306
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: point of the game in the first half, the Bills

1307
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: are like and I was texting, I was like, man,

1308
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: this might be thirty five to two. That's how bad

1309
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 1: it looked in the first half. Yeah, they couldn't stop

1310
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 1: him early and it was and it was the defense

1311
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: that was doing it, Josh, you know, through a couple

1312
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: of picks. The defense literally took that game over, and

1313
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:52,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons were like, whoa, yeah, you know, if it

1314
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: wasn't for the for the two turnovers they were they

1315
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: couldn't move the football. Let's go to the phone's real

1316
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 1: quick and we'll talk to Tim and Hamburg. Kim, what

1317
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:04,799
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Timmy,

1318
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 1: you're there, Yeah, I'm still here. Hello, Yeah, yeah, what

1319
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: do you got for us? It's time for me to

1320
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: take over the show. I think there you go. In

1321
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: any case, I want to talk about the other team

1322
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: for a while. Matt Ryan, with about ten minutes to

1323
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: go in the game, one of his very very few

1324
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 1: looks to me like it was a plan to run,

1325
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: got down to about a yard from the goal line

1326
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 1: in what might have turned the whole game around in

1327
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: the Falcon's favor, and somehow or other they went to

1328
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: a commercial and we didn't get the full explanation from

1329
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,320
Speaker 1: the refs as to what had happened there. Nobody touched Ryan,

1330
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 1: there was nobody near him, and yet I know there

1331
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: was a penalty that followed. The player confused, Okay, hold on,

1332
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: let me these guys have something they can say about that. Yeah,

1333
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: let me tell you. Here's what happened, Tim And for

1334
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 1: those of you maybe who aren't it wasn't a called run.

1335
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 1: He scrambled out of the pocket. And when the runner's going,

1336
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: when he goes down, he dives for the end zone.

1337
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: When you dive, that means you're not trying to run

1338
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,559
Speaker 1: any further get extra yards. So the moment you dive

1339
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 1: is when you're gonna be down. When you land, that

1340
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 1: means anything other than the bottoms of your feet or

1341
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 1: your palm of your hand. If anything else touches, you're down.

1342
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: And what happened was Ryan lunch for the end zone

1343
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 1: and then kind of caught himself with his knee. Well,

1344
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 1: the problem is when his knee touched, he's down because

1345
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: he's diving forward, and once he dives in his knee

1346
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: touches the ball is short of the end zone by

1347
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 1: about a half a yard. So what happens then is

1348
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:43,560
Speaker 1: poor Yar's coming over to try and drive on the

1349
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 1: play to keep him out of the end zone. He

1350
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: gets there late, goes over the top of him, grazes him,

1351
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,639
Speaker 1: hits him. Okay, Ryan didn't appreciate it because it was late,

1352
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 1: and I thought that might have been a penalty, but

1353
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: Ryan gets up, spikes the ball and then leans down

1354
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: and walks toward Poor You're talking smack Poyor didn't give

1355
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: it a second thought because that you figured that's going

1356
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: to happen, right, I mean, and I get it. As

1357
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: a player, you think, yeah, okay, you got in fine,

1358
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: you can talk some smack. The official calls Matt Ryan

1359
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 1: for taunting. Not only does he not get the touchdown,

1360
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: it's a fifteen yard personal foul, and now it's first

1361
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: and goal from the sixteen no touchdown, you get two

1362
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 1: plays to get all the way to the goal line,

1363
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: and that ended the run for the Atlanta Falcons. He's done,

1364
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 1: and you know, Ryan thought he scored, and you know

1365
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 1: he got the flag for taunting, which would have happened

1366
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: if he'd gotten the touchdown. The taunting would have been

1367
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: after the play, and it would have happened on the kickoff.

1368
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 1: So that's what happened. And I didn't realize a lot

1369
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 1: of people didn't see it on the on the replay

1370
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: of the game, but that's what happened. It was one

1371
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: of the quirkiest plays you'll see, probably one of the

1372
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: quirkier plays of the weekend in the NFL, right along

1373
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: with the with this center catching it pass for the

1374
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 1: Vikings last night. Oh I missed that. He didn't see that. No,

1375
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 1: I was driving back from the stadium in my car.

1376
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 1: One of the truly one of the fun plays of

1377
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:11,600
Speaker 1: the day. Wow, I'll have to look at him. The

1378
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 1: packer the Vikings throw pass a crossing route to the receiver,

1379
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: catches it, gets jack boom ball pops up in the

1380
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 1: air back towards the line of scrimmage. Center covering the play.

1381
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 1: Franco Harris is it on the immaculate reception, catches it

1382
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: and runs an additional fifteen yards. Wow. He wasn't the

1383
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,439
Speaker 1: target on the play. No, it was the longest play

1384
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: from scrimmage for the Vikings all night. They stunk. There's

1385
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: one to hang your hat on if you're the center. Yeah,

1386
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: nice job, totally legal play. We have to break here

1387
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: because when we come back, it is that time in

1388
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: the show on every Buffalo victory Monday, the Mattie Awards

1389
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:53,759
Speaker 1: coming your way. Next Here on One Bills Live presented

01:15:53,800 --> 01:16:06,960
Speaker 1: by Kellid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

1391
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live. It is that time

1392
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: in the show after every Bill's victory for the Maddie Awards,

1393
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: presented by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the

1394
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and back on the red carpet is one

1395
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: Maddie Glam Hello, Maddie, Hello guys. This is now a

1396
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 1: three peats. Let's make it a four peat next week,

1397
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 1: three weeks in a row. I love this little date

1398
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 1: that we have every week to do the Maddie Awards.

1399
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 1: I'm thinking back to the beginning of the season when

1400
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: the Bills were on a four game win streak, and

1401
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: hopefully they can end it on a four game win streak. Oh,

1402
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 1: we'll take that in a second and keep it, keep

1403
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 1: it on going in the postseason. Absolutely, So let's begin

1404
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: with trench Kings. Some people might have an idea on

1405
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:57,439
Speaker 1: where this is going, but you kind of you crossed

1406
01:16:57,520 --> 01:16:59,679
Speaker 1: me up with this one. So let us know who's

1407
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,560
Speaker 1: the win are here? All right? I'm giving this to

1408
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips and at Oliver and really the defensive line

1409
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 1: as a whole. The offensive line has been playing great

1410
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 1: the last couple weeks, but I want to give kudos

1411
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 1: here for the defensive line and what they were able

1412
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 1: to do sacking Matt Ryan five times. I know Terry

1413
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,679
Speaker 1: Johnson had one of those sacks, with the defensive line

1414
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 1: made up for quite a few of those, and at

1415
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: Oliver and Harrison Phillips each had to sack themselves. Harrison

1416
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 1: Phillips also had three quarterback hits, and I'm just really

1417
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 1: proud of these two and what they've been able to do.

1418
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 1: You know, with Starr in and out of the lineup

1419
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: due to injury and then personal reasons. Just like the

1420
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: offensive line, there's been a lot of shifting, but these

1421
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:43,719
Speaker 1: two have been able to hold it down in the middle.

1422
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 1: And I think Harrison Phillips, We've been talking about this

1423
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. We mentioned it on the postgame show Steve,

1424
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: but Harrison Phillips looks like he's back to his old

1425
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: form and that's something that's really positive for the Buffalo Bills.

1426
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,600
Speaker 1: I Mean, they draft this guy pretty high and unfortunately

1427
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: he has an ACL's hair, and it seemed like last

1428
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: year he was, you know, working his way back from that,

1429
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:09,600
Speaker 1: getting accustomed to playing in the NFL again and trusting

1430
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: that knee, which I know isn't the easiest thing to do.

1431
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 1: In this season, he's been very productive especially as of

1432
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of games. I also want to point out,

1433
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:21,719
Speaker 1: you know, they hold Corda Old Patterson to under thirty

1434
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: rushing yards. The Falcons don't normally rush for a lot

1435
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 1: of yards a game, but I think containing a player

1436
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: like that and Kyle Pitts who had that one big

1437
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,680
Speaker 1: play was also Kudos to the defensive line in the

1438
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: pressure that they were able to put on the Falcons

1439
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan. Yeah, I thought Ed Oliver and Harrison

1440
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:41,680
Speaker 1: Phillips really set the tone yesterday. Certainly Ed had a

1441
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: breakout game, and I think you're right. I think the

1442
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: more I think about it, the more Harrison Phillips has

1443
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 1: elevated his game. I mean, Starlo Tula has been in

1444
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 1: and out of the lineup, and Ed Oliver's gotten a

1445
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: lot more reps because of that, and he's been probably

1446
01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: the most I don't consider distant guy in on the

1447
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: field of the defensive tackle group. I think he's probably

1448
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at the percentages, but the guy seems

1449
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,679
Speaker 1: like he's out there all the time, and that's where

1450
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:11,959
Speaker 1: he was two years ago before he tore the ACL

1451
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: and now I think finally you're looking at getting the

1452
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:18,680
Speaker 1: guy back that you know that he was two years ago.

1453
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,320
Speaker 1: So it's kudos to him and um and the way

1454
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: those two played now and I think even even the

1455
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: way Ed Oliver played the one bad thing that happened

1456
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: to him, he's got a roughing the passer, call him

1457
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. That was soft and he let up on

1458
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 1: the guy too, I mean, and I think and Matt Ryan,

1459
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: I think, being the veteran he is, went down like

1460
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: he'd been you know, chopped off at the leading at

1461
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: the knees, right, so he embellished it a little bit

1462
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 1: and good for him. But you know, even in that play,

1463
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 1: I think you'd take the game Ed Oliver had yesterday

1464
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 1: and run with it. Yep. So next up, Maddie the

1465
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: You Stepped Up Award. There's probably a few people who

1466
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 1: would be in the nomination category for this, but who

1467
01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 1: was Who's Who's taking this one home? Well? What were

1468
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: we waiting for all seasons? Something that we all wanted

1469
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 1: to check the box off with before we headed into

1470
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:11,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs? It was the Bills getting a win, not

1471
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: riding on Josh Allen's success or the defense's ability to

1472
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 1: completely shut down an opposing offense at the end of

1473
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 1: the day, you're going to have to score points. So

1474
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: the defense can't physically win a game on their own.

1475
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: But the defense has held this offense out a lot

1476
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 1: when they haven't been able to score that many points.

1477
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 1: In the defense has been able to limit opponents to

1478
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 1: few points. But we were waiting for the running game

1479
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 1: to really show through and show up through an entire game.

1480
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:41,799
Speaker 1: Two hundred and thirty three rushing yards is a season

1481
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 1: high for this team. Yes, Josh Allen had eighty one

1482
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,640
Speaker 1: of those rushing yards, but Devin Singletary goes over one

1483
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 1: hundred rushing, two rushing touchdowns and really has a career day.

1484
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: The rushing averages for the running backs was over five

1485
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 1: yards to carry. You add Zach mosson to that equation,

1486
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:02,679
Speaker 1: he is over seven yards of carry almost eight yards

1487
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 1: of carry yesterday with his five carries for thirty nine

1488
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: rushing yards. So I want to give a shout out

1489
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: here to Devin's Singletarry and the run game. We're gonna

1490
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 1: need to rely on these guys going forward, especially in

1491
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You know, you hear coaches talk about you

1492
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: have to be able to run the ball. In December

1493
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: and January, we saw a cold weather game yesterday in Buffalo.

1494
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't necessarily super windy or rainy, but conditions aren't

1495
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: always going to be perfect going forward. So it's really

1496
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 1: nice that they were able to lean on Devin's singletarry

1497
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 1: and the run game to get some touchdowns. I mean

1498
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 1: they rush in for four touchdowns yesterday, Devin Singletarry and

1499
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen do and I think that gives fans and

1500
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 1: us like a little bit of Okay, if we need

1501
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 1: to rely on this going forward, we can because they

1502
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: put up two or thirty three rushing yards. Coach McDermott

1503
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 1: has been really proud with Devin Singletary in the last

1504
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 1: couple weeks and what he's been able to offer to

1505
01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 1: this team. So they definitely stepped up in eyes, Yeah,

1506
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. And when you talk about going

1507
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 1: the stepping up, they needed somebody to step up with

1508
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 1: the way Josh had played yesterday. The next award you

1509
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: have big wins, and I like the way you title

1510
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 1: is big wins, but it's also about how well they

1511
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: played within the game, right, Yeah, big wins. There were

1512
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:23,120
Speaker 1: a couple of big wins within the game, Like you

1513
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: point out, Steve the Buffalo Bills go four for five

1514
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 1: in the red zone and they keep the Falcons out

1515
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: of scoring six points in the red zone. The Falcons

1516
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,679
Speaker 1: were just one of four in the red zone yesterday.

1517
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,639
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills also did a great job at converting third

1518
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: downs yesterday over fifty eight percent and they keep the

1519
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:47,480
Speaker 1: Falcons to just fourteen percent. These are really important statistics

1520
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it, especially limiting your opponents

1521
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: from being able to score in the red zone and

1522
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: converting third downs. It's less opportunities to move the ball

1523
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: down down the field and get opportunities to score, and

1524
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:01,760
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, it's more opportunities for them. These

1525
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 1: are statistics that have sometimes been up and down on

1526
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 1: offense and defense, but it was really nice to see

1527
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 1: the defense hold them out of the red zone and

1528
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: the Bills have success in the red zone. The only

1529
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 1: other thing that you'd want to add to this big

1530
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: wins category is the turnover differential, which the Bills finish

1531
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 1: finished minus in yesterday. They've usually been in the plus.

1532
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:25,799
Speaker 1: Good to see them force one takeaway yesterday would hopefully

1533
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: see a couple more down the road. You know, they

1534
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: got back to multiple takeaways in the last week's game

1535
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 1: and hopefully more going forward, but big wins, red zone efficiency,

1536
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: third down conversion percentage. These are important numbers going forward

1537
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 1: and this is what a team needs to do to

1538
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,840
Speaker 1: make it to the playoffs. They have to have high

1539
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: efficiency and a high conversion rate in some of these categories. Well,

1540
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 1: if anybody's paying attention to Bills social media, they see

1541
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: the signs have been changed around here at one Bill's

1542
01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:57,920
Speaker 1: drive from playoff caliber to championship caliber, which brings us

1543
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:02,799
Speaker 1: to our next award, the US the Process Award Trust

1544
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:06,160
Speaker 1: the Process. Well, coach McDermott comes in here five years

1545
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 1: ago with a vision, with a dream, with things that

1546
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 1: he wants to do alongside Brandon Bean. Thanks to the

1547
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 1: Pagoulas and the coaching staff, the players, they have trusted

1548
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: the process and now they've made it to the playoffs

1549
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: and four out of their five years. The guys who

1550
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 1: came in and their first season, guys like Mike Hi

1551
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, and it's thanks to McDermott, to Brandon Bean,

1552
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:34,639
Speaker 1: to the Pagoulas for putting the right culture in place

1553
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 1: that one builds drive that that breeds success and opportunities

1554
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl and making it to the playoffs

1555
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,840
Speaker 1: in four out of five years. You're now it's it's

1556
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 1: not like, oh, there's a chance we can make the

1557
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: playoffs this year. It was an expectation this year, and

1558
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 1: I think it's an expectation of course going forward. But

1559
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 1: when the playoffs become an expectation now you have new goals. Now,

1560
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 1: the goals the AFC Championship Game, the Super Bowl, and

1561
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 1: so it's a privilege to be able to make it

1562
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:05,680
Speaker 1: to the playoffs a year after a year and have

1563
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: new expectations because you know the playoffs are going to

1564
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 1: happen with the roster that you have in place. Now

1565
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:14,600
Speaker 1: you're looking at things like the AFC Championship Game, the

1566
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And I think back to comments at Micah

1567
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,800
Speaker 1: Hyde and Jordan Player said after the game yesterday, and

1568
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: they said, you know, some of these young guys don't

1569
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 1: really know what it takes to get to the playoffs

1570
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: year after a year, the hard work that we had

1571
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 1: to put in and kind of turn this thing around.

1572
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: They've been in the NFL for quite some time, and

1573
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: some of the youngest guys on this team, they've been

1574
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: in the playoffs three years in a row now, and

1575
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: I get to be a part of that group too,

1576
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 1: because it's my third season here and every year we've

1577
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 1: made it to the playoffs. So trust the process. It's

1578
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 1: definitely worked for Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean and I

1579
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: expect to get things ahead for this group. They've got

1580
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 1: their quarterback, So go get an ANC championship, Go get

1581
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,719
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. Now you say that, you're right, Brownie

1582
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 1: and Eye been languishing here for decades and now you

1583
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: show up three years and three playoff appearances. I'm beginning

1584
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 1: to think you're spoiled, rotten, rotten. I'm definitely a spoiled brats.

1585
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:13,760
Speaker 1: Either that or she's our four leaf clover. Yeah, that's

1586
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,719
Speaker 1: even better. Okay, So so we're getting down to week seventeen,

1587
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:18,600
Speaker 1: eighteen of this season. You look around the league, some

1588
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: pretty spectacular things are going on, and now, of course

1589
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 1: with the extra game that the Bills that the NFL

1590
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,800
Speaker 1: has never had before going into week eighteen of a

1591
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: long season, there's some pretty spectacular players having some really

1592
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: good years. And one of the things that another Mattie

1593
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,759
Speaker 1: Award for players around the league, you put the Unstoppable Award.

1594
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: Who's that Jamar Chase Man. He has been unstoppable lately,

1595
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:45,640
Speaker 1: offensive rookie of the year potentially. I mean he was

1596
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 1: unreal against the Chiefs yesterday, a defense who has also

1597
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 1: been playing some great ball lately. He could not be

1598
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:56,719
Speaker 1: stops eleven catches, her two hundred and sixty six receiving yards,

1599
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. That's averaging twenty four per catch. He is

1600
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 1: a big play threat, a big play target. And it's

1601
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: not like this receiver is a mismatch beat because of

1602
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: his size. I mean he's six feet two hundred pounds,

1603
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 1: your normal size maybe for a receiver. He's not your

1604
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 1: big play or your tall, big threat, big body type

1605
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 1: of player. He's a mismatch because of his talent and

1606
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 1: he's just a rookie this season. I also want to

1607
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 1: say sorry to anybody who played against him in your

1608
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:30,640
Speaker 1: fantasy championships. I was a part of that group. He

1609
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:35,679
Speaker 1: put up fifty five points against me yesterday. So way

1610
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 1: to go, Jamar Chase. Way to defeat any of my

1611
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 1: chances I had at winning in my fantasy championship. But

1612
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this wide receiver is unreal. And he

1613
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,640
Speaker 1: said yesterday or yesterday, he said last week to media that,

1614
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, you really haven't seen what I have yet.

1615
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: I think there's more in the basket for what I

1616
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 1: can offer. I wonder now if we've seen everything we

1617
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,519
Speaker 1: can see from Jamar Chase or if he's just gonna

1618
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:04,479
Speaker 1: Unleach Moore through a postseason. Yeah, he's a scary dude, man,

1619
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: and that whole receiving course. Steve and I were talking

1620
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: about it earlier. That's a scary group. You got to

1621
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 1: have some really good corners to keep all three of

1622
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 1: those guys down, especially with Joe Bisilic quarterback. Yeah, and

1623
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:17,759
Speaker 1: I'll say what, Joe Burrow has no qualms about throwing

1624
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,920
Speaker 1: him up when he's covered, he's open when he's not open. Yeah,

1625
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 1: that's a rare trait. But there are guys like it,

1626
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:26,439
Speaker 1: and he is. And I said this earlier in the show.

1627
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:31,720
Speaker 1: Confidence is a fantastic coach and Cincinnati is playing with

1628
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence. Yeah, certainly are Maddie. Thanks for

1629
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 1: all the awards this week. We will keep our fingers crossed,

1630
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 1: although I think we're pretty confident that we'll be talking

1631
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 1: to you at this time next Monday, so we look

1632
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 1: forward to that. Thanks for the time. Thanks, mad sounds great.

Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. The week eighteen schedule

1640
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:23,720
Speaker 1: has been finalized. We already knew that there was going

1641
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 1: to be a Saturday double header, which Steve mentioned, Kansas

1642
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:30,600
Speaker 1: City at Denver at four followed by Dallas at Philadelphia

1643
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:35,880
Speaker 1: at eight fifteen pm. And now the final game of

1644
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 1: the regular season, which is a literal do or die

1645
01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 1: football game between two AFC West rivals, will be played

1646
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:52,559
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. It's the Chargers and the Raders in Vegas.

1647
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 1: That's a delicious one, isn't that. It's pretty good winning

1648
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:59,040
Speaker 1: in for both those teams. That's kind of well, I mean,

1649
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,120
Speaker 1: that's a sitting way to end. It's a playoff game.

1650
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 1: The last game of the regular season is a playoff game.

1651
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 1: A play in game really is, and that's it, it

1652
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:11,639
Speaker 1: absolutely is. The playoffs start Sunday night for the Chargers

1653
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:15,920
Speaker 1: and the Raiders and away they go. That is pretty awesome. Yeah,

1654
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:20,519
Speaker 1: this is obviously the rematch from earlier in the season.

1655
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember who won the first matchup between

1656
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:25,080
Speaker 1: those two. I'm gonna try to look it up really

1657
01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:28,320
Speaker 1: quick to see if I can find it in time.

1658
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:31,799
Speaker 1: Let they beat The Raiders beat the Chargers eight fourteen

1659
01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:38,840
Speaker 1: at LA and so Far. I think the week four

1660
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:44,639
Speaker 1: fourth hold on Chargers won the game twenty eight fourteen.

1661
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 1: You're you had the score right, but the Chargers, I'm

1662
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:50,840
Speaker 1: sorry lost. Chargers beat the Raiders by two touchdowns in

1663
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 1: the first meeting at so Far. As you said, this

1664
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,599
Speaker 1: one is obviously going to be at Allegiant in Vegas

1665
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 1: on the Strip. Oh, that's gonna be a hop in

1666
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 1: place Monday night, right, that's so dual. I'm i am.

1667
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:07,640
Speaker 1: I am strapping in Sunday night for that. Yeah, I'm

1668
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 1: all about it all right, and think of it. It's

1669
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:14,879
Speaker 1: gonna start at fourth they actually kickoff for the kickoff

1670
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 1: for the game on Saturdays. Actually it's four thirty on

1671
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:26,879
Speaker 1: Saturday for the Chiefs Broncos four thirty and eight fifteen,

1672
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have plenty of gosh. Yeah, Now the

1673
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:31,720
Speaker 1: Broncos are out started four thirty and I'll take some

1674
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 1: time out to come over here and watch this game.

1675
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be back on the couch. Well, here's the thing.

1676
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 1: So the New York Times playoff machine, the Chargers have

1677
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 1: are nine and seven. The Raiders are nine and seven.

1678
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:46,680
Speaker 1: The Chargers are ahead of the Raiders based on their

1679
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:48,760
Speaker 1: head to ed edge right now, having beaten them the

1680
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:52,560
Speaker 1: first time. So the New York Times Playoff machine assesses

1681
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:56,519
Speaker 1: the Chargers chances of making the playoffs at fifty five percent.

1682
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 1: It assesses the Raiders chances of make the playoffs at

1683
01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:06,680
Speaker 1: fifty three percent. Two percent separates the two teams, and

1684
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 1: they will go belly to belly on Sunday night. Oh

1685
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 1: it's so delicious, Kie, and that lapped this up. Think yeah,

1686
01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:17,639
Speaker 1: that just oh gosh yeah, just rub it on your face.

1687
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 1: Just because the Chargers their defense has gone south right, well,

1688
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that it ever came north, right, And

1689
01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 1: so the Raiders should be in a spot where they're

1690
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:34,720
Speaker 1: at this point of the season where they're gonna light

1691
01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:37,639
Speaker 1: up Hunter Renfro's playing really well for this They found

1692
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 1: something turn it into West Welker, right, and so they're

1693
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:42,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna give them some. They're gonna score more than

1694
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 1: fourteen points on the Chargers this round, and they have

1695
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:47,639
Speaker 1: a pass rush that's Crosby. Man, it's gonna be awesome.

1696
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean, with what's on the line, those guys are

1697
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 1: gonna be frothing at the mouth, both teams. It's gonna

1698
01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:59,680
Speaker 1: be fierce. Vegas, Bosa, Crosby, Herbert car got a lot

1699
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:03,760
Speaker 1: of seeving talent. Man. That is a game. That is

1700
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:05,519
Speaker 1: a game. I'm fired up for that one. All Right.

1701
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 1: We gotta take a break here because when we come back,

1702
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:12,679
Speaker 1: Eric Wood will be joining us give us his thoughts

1703
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 1: on what he saw from the radio booth yesterday in

1704
01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 1: the Bills win over the Falcons. That's coming up next

1705
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:21,200
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, It's

1706
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:40,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been

1707
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind

1708
01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:48,639
Speaker 1: of a dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp.

1709
01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:55,880
Speaker 1: We're not even in the strated fere of normalcy. All right,

1710
01:33:55,920 --> 01:34:00,439
Speaker 1: welcome back our number three here on a Bills victory Monday,

1711
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:05,280
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and join now by

1712
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:07,360
Speaker 1: the man who viewed it from the radio booth with

1713
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:09,599
Speaker 1: John Murphy. It is one Eric Wood joining us here

1714
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live. Eric, Thanks for joining us here

1715
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 1: in your regularly schedule time slot. As an offensive lineman.

1716
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 1: Were you puffing your chest out a little bit more

1717
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:26,280
Speaker 1: leaving the stadium yesterday in light of what the offensive

1718
01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:29,519
Speaker 1: line and Devin Singletary did on those two second half

1719
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:34,920
Speaker 1: possessions after the third pick? I was puffing my chest

1720
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:36,920
Speaker 1: out a little bit more, especially since I've come to

1721
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 1: the defense of the offensive line throughout this season when

1722
01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 1: they've taken their fair share of criticism. And you know,

1723
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 1: for an offensive lineman, when you're able to get that

1724
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:48,160
Speaker 1: type of production on the ground and go for over

1725
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 1: two hundred yards, it's it's definitely a good feeling you're

1726
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 1: taking the fight to the defense throughout that game. They're

1727
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,479
Speaker 1: probably a little less sword today than when you're getting

1728
01:34:56,560 --> 01:34:59,240
Speaker 1: teed off on over and over when you're continuing to

1729
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 1: throw the ball at the rate that the Bills generally do.

1730
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 1: So really proud of that group and what they've kind

1731
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 1: of been building into to this point to be playing

1732
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 1: their best ball of the season these last couple of weeks.

1733
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 1: What can we read into the fact. I know that

1734
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 1: I know that the Atlanta Falcons aren't playoff bound, but

1735
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:18,720
Speaker 1: what can we read into, you know, their ability to

1736
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 1: get that done versus the Atlanta Falcons. How good did it?

1737
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:24,719
Speaker 1: How good did they play yesterday? And can they continue

1738
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:28,320
Speaker 1: to do this against playoff teams? You know, we got

1739
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:30,639
Speaker 1: to see that because last week was against the Panthers

1740
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:32,000
Speaker 1: and that's a team that's not going to make the

1741
01:35:32,040 --> 01:35:35,639
Speaker 1: playoffs either. So it's definitely great that they're playing their

1742
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:38,400
Speaker 1: best ball, But you're right, the level of competition these

1743
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:40,960
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks hasn't been decide Now, the Panthers

1744
01:35:41,040 --> 01:35:44,960
Speaker 1: have a great defense, just not maybe the elite pass

1745
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:47,759
Speaker 1: rushers or maybe not the elite defensive line. To strength

1746
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:52,240
Speaker 1: of that defense was secondary linebacker level. So you know,

1747
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to say exactly what we can read from

1748
01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:58,120
Speaker 1: this moving forward, but it's definitely an encouraging sign. And

1749
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:01,040
Speaker 1: this is a group that's gaining more confidence. And we'll

1750
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 1: see what happened with the injury to Ryan Bates late

1751
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:06,280
Speaker 1: in the game, but it seems like they've identified they're

1752
01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:09,000
Speaker 1: five that they're most comfortable with at this point of

1753
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:11,920
Speaker 1: the season, and hopefully this is a line that we

1754
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:13,920
Speaker 1: can move forward with and allow them to gain some

1755
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,840
Speaker 1: continuity over one more week of the season against the Jets,

1756
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:19,320
Speaker 1: and then you take an offensive line into the playoffs

1757
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:21,560
Speaker 1: that you feel I can truly be a strength of

1758
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:24,639
Speaker 1: this team and not a group where you know, midway

1759
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 1: through the season you're looking at it as a liability.

1760
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:30,640
Speaker 1: Let's flip it over to the other guys in the trenches.

1761
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 1: Defensive line for the Bills, and Oliver decides it's time

1762
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 1: to take over the game after the third Josh Allen

1763
01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 1: interception and essentially makes three consecutive plays to force a

1764
01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 1: three and out to get the ball back, and then

1765
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:46,880
Speaker 1: the Bills go on there. They're too largely run the

1766
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:52,439
Speaker 1: football touchdown drives, and the last three or four weeks, Eric,

1767
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to say he's been dominant,

1768
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 1: but he has certainly had some stretches of really really good.

1769
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 1: You're exactly right, Chris, And you know, the effort's always

1770
01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:07,160
Speaker 1: been there with that Oliver. Now you're seeing the production

1771
01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:10,000
Speaker 1: to match it, and I feel like Ed is really

1772
01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:12,640
Speaker 1: coming into his own and year three and playing some

1773
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:15,759
Speaker 1: incredible football, and right next to him, I think Harrison

1774
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 1: Phillips and year four is playing his death balls of

1775
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:22,360
Speaker 1: his career. And you know, I have been critical of

1776
01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:24,800
Speaker 1: this defensive line and the lack of ability to get

1777
01:37:25,200 --> 01:37:28,519
Speaker 1: to the passer in obvious pass rush situations with just

1778
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 1: a four man rush, and the ability to stop the run.

1779
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 1: Well over these last couple of weeks, in the second

1780
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: half of that Tampa Bay game, especially on the interior,

1781
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:40,519
Speaker 1: those two guys are playing excellent. But Ed Oliver, I

1782
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 1: mean he was. He was at times Domini yesterday, and

1783
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:47,160
Speaker 1: you refer to that drive where he's essentially making all

1784
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:50,439
Speaker 1: three stops for the defense, and probably my favorite play

1785
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 1: was when he flushes Matt Ryan out of the pocket.

1786
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:55,519
Speaker 1: He's pursuing him and then Matt Ryan puts the ball

1787
01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:57,200
Speaker 1: to the running back and he breaks up the pass.

1788
01:37:57,400 --> 01:38:00,680
Speaker 1: That is, and that's like Kyle Williams type effort from

1789
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:03,840
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle position, which you don't always see. Those

1790
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:06,240
Speaker 1: guys are generally big and heavy and they don't have

1791
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 1: the energy to play like that and sustain it. But

1792
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:12,679
Speaker 1: Ed has proven, especially over this second half of the season,

1793
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 1: that he's that caliber of player and I've said this

1794
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:17,760
Speaker 1: and we talked about a little bit in the last

1795
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:19,840
Speaker 1: week's show. We've been talking about this show as well

1796
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:24,240
Speaker 1: about how in the playoffs, as this season progresses, there's

1797
01:38:24,280 --> 01:38:26,080
Speaker 1: going to have to be a lot of players or

1798
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:29,040
Speaker 1: some players on this squad who have to elevate their

1799
01:38:29,080 --> 01:38:30,960
Speaker 1: play to match that of Josh Allen. And on a

1800
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:33,719
Speaker 1: day when Josh didn't have his best day, it seemed

1801
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:35,760
Speaker 1: to happen both on the defensive linelock we've been talking

1802
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:39,120
Speaker 1: about and in the run game. How important and what

1803
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:42,519
Speaker 1: are your thoughts about this team having other players take

1804
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 1: the burden off of Josh Allen making sure that he

1805
01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be, you know, have to put on

1806
01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 1: a cape for the Bills to win a playoff game.

1807
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:53,600
Speaker 1: It becomes extremely important because, like we saw in that

1808
01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 1: first matchup against New England, at times the weather is

1809
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 1: going to dictate that Josh might not be the guy

1810
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:01,560
Speaker 1: that can take for every single game. And then a

1811
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,200
Speaker 1: day where he didn't have it yesterday and through three picks,

1812
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:06,880
Speaker 1: and you know, we can analyze the reason for those,

1813
01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:09,920
Speaker 1: but guys stepped up around them, and you know, for

1814
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 1: this defense now playing without Tredavious White, you know they

1815
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 1: still the number one pass defense in the league, and

1816
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:19,400
Speaker 1: generally a lot of the great pass defense in the

1817
01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 1: league are aided by a very good pass rush, while

1818
01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:25,519
Speaker 1: the Bills entered yesterday near the bottom of the NFL

1819
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:29,280
Speaker 1: and sack production and quarterback hits, and so moving forward,

1820
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:31,880
Speaker 1: especially as the Bills in the playoffs, will be playing

1821
01:39:32,240 --> 01:39:35,720
Speaker 1: better receiving corps, they need that defensive line to get home.

1822
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:38,000
Speaker 1: So to see those guys coming into their own be

1823
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 1: able to affect the game the way they did yesterday

1824
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:42,760
Speaker 1: was extremely encouraging. And then on the offensive side of

1825
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:46,240
Speaker 1: the football, since Devin Singletary and that Tampa Bay game

1826
01:39:46,520 --> 01:39:49,880
Speaker 1: essentially becomes the guy who all the production at the

1827
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:52,679
Speaker 1: running back positions essentially going to go through him, we've

1828
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:54,840
Speaker 1: seen a different level of play from him as well,

1829
01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 1: and so that's a guy that you know, are the

1830
01:39:57,880 --> 01:40:00,120
Speaker 1: Bill is going to be This running team on a

1831
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:03,719
Speaker 1: consistent basis not likely, And this team is built around

1832
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 1: their ability to throw the football. But on a day

1833
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:09,360
Speaker 1: where you're really struggling even to catch the football early

1834
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: in the game, we had three drops in the first

1835
01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:15,160
Speaker 1: couple of possessions. Devin Singletary stepped up in a big way.

1836
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 1: So to your points, Steve, it becomes invaluable that when

1837
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: you're looking at playoffs scenarios and hey, on a day

1838
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:25,280
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen doesn't have it, can the Bills get

1839
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:28,040
Speaker 1: past that round? It's starting to look like they could

1840
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 1: do it. Eric, you were obviously in the locker room

1841
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:35,840
Speaker 1: when Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean came in laid out

1842
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 1: their vision, talked about being perennial contenders, not just a

1843
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:43,559
Speaker 1: team that has a one off kind of year. They're

1844
01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 1: now one of three teams to have double digit wins

1845
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 1: in each of the last three seasons. Green Bay in

1846
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City are the only other teams that can say that.

1847
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:55,320
Speaker 1: And you know, coach McDermott is one of just four

1848
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:59,400
Speaker 1: current coaches to lead his team to the playoffs in

1849
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:03,200
Speaker 1: each of the last three years, Andy Reid, Matt Lafleur,

1850
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:07,280
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel or the other three in that category. Having

1851
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:09,960
Speaker 1: been in that room when this whole thing got started

1852
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 1: and seeing where it is now, it's kind of, i mean,

1853
01:41:15,479 --> 01:41:17,880
Speaker 1: short of the super Bowl title, it's kind of mission

1854
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 1: accomplished in terms of making that vision a reality, Is

1855
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:25,439
Speaker 1: it not? Yes? And you took the words out of

1856
01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:28,760
Speaker 1: my mouth. It was a vision. And when Sean came

1857
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:31,639
Speaker 1: to the organization, he created this vision of a team

1858
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 1: that is going to play team football and we're gonna

1859
01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:35,760
Speaker 1: be so hard to beat on a week in a

1860
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:38,599
Speaker 1: week out basis because we're gonna play harder than anyone

1861
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:40,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be so accountable, we're gonna be so

1862
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:42,479
Speaker 1: sharp with our technique that we're going to be so

1863
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:45,439
Speaker 1: difficult to beat. And he always talked about it even

1864
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:47,400
Speaker 1: when he got there. We are going to bring in

1865
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:49,760
Speaker 1: guys that have our type of DNA and they have

1866
01:41:49,840 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 1: the characteristics and the mentality of what I just described.

1867
01:41:53,200 --> 01:41:55,280
Speaker 1: And to see it come to fruition and see it

1868
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 1: year after year, and the one year they missed the

1869
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 1: playoffs under Sean McDermott is that you know, they're so

1870
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:04,640
Speaker 1: strapped by that salary cap and the dead money. It

1871
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:06,920
Speaker 1: would I mean, it would have taken a miracle for

1872
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:09,160
Speaker 1: them to get the playoffs in that season. And so

1873
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:12,000
Speaker 1: to see what they've built in the culture around the

1874
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 1: Bills and the national perception of what the Bills have

1875
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:18,600
Speaker 1: become to be a spot where free agents are attracted,

1876
01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:22,800
Speaker 1: of the possibility to come to the Buffalo bills for

1877
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:26,800
Speaker 1: me and playing nine years there and having it been

1878
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 1: my entire time there in my just love for the organization,

1879
01:42:31,080 --> 01:42:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm extremely proud of what they've built. And you know,

1880
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:39,439
Speaker 1: for me, it it honestly warns my heart to see.

1881
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to be talking out of both sides

1882
01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:43,880
Speaker 1: of my mouth, but as we close in, I said that,

1883
01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, others are gonna have to elevate their play

1884
01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:48,680
Speaker 1: to help Josh win games in the playoffs, and if

1885
01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:50,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna win a championship, certainly it's gonna take the

1886
01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:52,800
Speaker 1: whole roster. I'm gonna ask you this though, as you

1887
01:42:52,880 --> 01:42:55,639
Speaker 1: look at the I think maybe the top six teams

1888
01:42:55,840 --> 01:43:00,280
Speaker 1: in the AFC bracket is Tennessee, Kansas City, Cincinnati, buf Falow,

1889
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:05,320
Speaker 1: New England, Indianapolis. There's three teams that have a guy

1890
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:08,920
Speaker 1: that is the franchise guy pulling the trigger. It's Kansas City, Cincinnati,

1891
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:14,760
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. The other three Tennessee, New England and Indianapolis,

1892
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:18,240
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks are not really the face of what their

1893
01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:20,959
Speaker 1: team is all about when you get into the playoffs.

1894
01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:23,920
Speaker 1: To me, that makes a huge difference for these teams.

1895
01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 1: And when I'm picking teams I'm looking at the quarterback first,

1896
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:29,879
Speaker 1: and those three teams, even the one seed in Tennessee

1897
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:35,040
Speaker 1: really doesn't fit that. Bill. Yeah, you're right in the

1898
01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:38,680
Speaker 1: quarterback position is the most important position in all of

1899
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:44,400
Speaker 1: professional sports. I mean the quarterback position. A stable player

1900
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 1: in having that lockdown with a franchise player just gives

1901
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:52,200
Speaker 1: you sustained long term success. And you're right. And when

1902
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:54,760
Speaker 1: you look around, Josh Allen's that dude in Buffalo, and

1903
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,120
Speaker 1: it took us forever to find him, but Josh Allen

1904
01:43:57,320 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 1: is that guy. And yes he had a rough one yesterday,

1905
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 1: but he's a guy that obviously he's going to lead

1906
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:05,599
Speaker 1: this franchise for many years to come, and they rewarded

1907
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:08,840
Speaker 1: him handsibly because of that. But you know, looking forward

1908
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, man, I'm excited to see Josh back

1909
01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:15,560
Speaker 1: on that stage. And now he's in his third opportunity

1910
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:19,400
Speaker 1: there and we saw a jump in his playoff performance

1911
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:21,720
Speaker 1: from year one in the playoffs to year two in

1912
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:24,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year taking them to the AC Championship game,

1913
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:28,080
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see Josh back in that element

1914
01:44:28,600 --> 01:44:30,840
Speaker 1: and on the big stage again in those moments, and

1915
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 1: Josh has always showed up in the big I feel

1916
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:35,639
Speaker 1: like in primetime, you know, he plays his best ball,

1917
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:38,960
Speaker 1: and man, those primetime playoff games are gonna be fun

1918
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:42,960
Speaker 1: to watch. Eric A lot can obviously change before all

1919
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 1: the games are put to bed this coming weekend in

1920
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 1: terms of playoff matchups, but right now, in terms of percentages,

1921
01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 1: there are three teams that are the most likely to

1922
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:56,479
Speaker 1: be facing the Bills in the wild card round. I'm

1923
01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:59,240
Speaker 1: gonna give you those three teams. You tell me if

1924
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:02,639
Speaker 1: you have a prep friends, so leading the way most

1925
01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:06,920
Speaker 1: likely first round matchup the Patriots at thirty three percent,

1926
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:09,640
Speaker 1: followed by the Colts at twenty eight percent, and the

1927
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:12,920
Speaker 1: Raiders at twenty seven percent. Do you have a team

1928
01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:19,000
Speaker 1: you'd feel most comfortable playing, I'd say Vegas. Now you

1929
01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:22,200
Speaker 1: know the Bills haven't face them this year. Obviously, we

1930
01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:24,599
Speaker 1: have a loss this year to the Colts and one

1931
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:27,280
Speaker 1: to the Patriots. The one to the Patriots obviously in

1932
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:30,840
Speaker 1: um some abnormal conditions with the win. But to me,

1933
01:45:31,400 --> 01:45:34,240
Speaker 1: the least daunting of those three would seem to be Vegas.

1934
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:37,680
Speaker 1: They you know, they've They've had their fair share of

1935
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:39,880
Speaker 1: injuries on the offensive side of the football. I feel

1936
01:45:39,920 --> 01:45:43,000
Speaker 1: like this defense is best suited to defend a passing

1937
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:46,839
Speaker 1: game where they that's that's the strength of their offense.

1938
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:50,560
Speaker 1: You know, New England and Indie don't scare me, you

1939
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:54,280
Speaker 1: know beyond what they should. You know, that game against

1940
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:57,640
Speaker 1: the Colts, I see that as an anomaly. But when

1941
01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:00,639
Speaker 1: you play Indian New England, those are games that you're

1942
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:02,479
Speaker 1: likely going to have to start fast so that they

1943
01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:04,680
Speaker 1: can't just rely on a run game and mix in

1944
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:07,479
Speaker 1: some play action from time to time. Those are games

1945
01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:09,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna need to play with the lead because I

1946
01:46:09,400 --> 01:46:11,800
Speaker 1: feel like this defense is built to play with the lead,

1947
01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 1: to defend the path of the other team. That's where

1948
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:17,800
Speaker 1: our strong suit is on defense. So I'd say give

1949
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:20,400
Speaker 1: me Vegas, and I would like to hear if you

1950
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:23,280
Speaker 1: guys don't agree with me there. Yeah, I mean you

1951
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:25,600
Speaker 1: want to play the last team in probably I mean

1952
01:46:25,720 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 1: that's it goes without saying, But I want to ask

1953
01:46:28,520 --> 01:46:30,800
Speaker 1: you this. You talked about the how cool it was

1954
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:32,840
Speaker 1: to see the offensive line come together and play. I

1955
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 1: want to talk a little bit about the shuffling that

1956
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:38,240
Speaker 1: went on for two months and then having them settle

1957
01:46:38,320 --> 01:46:40,560
Speaker 1: on the last five guys that took the field in

1958
01:46:40,680 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 1: New England when Bates came in and at left guard,

1959
01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:47,479
Speaker 1: and they went with that same five this week, And

1960
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:51,720
Speaker 1: how going forward, particularly this week, you know, what's the

1961
01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:55,880
Speaker 1: continuity got to be? Like, I mean, certainly everybody out

1962
01:46:55,920 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 1: there and in the offensive line room is gonna feel

1963
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:00,160
Speaker 1: comfortable with playing with everybody else because they've all had

1964
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:01,920
Speaker 1: a chance to do it at some point this season.

1965
01:47:02,560 --> 01:47:05,080
Speaker 1: How does this continuity and maybe the health of that

1966
01:47:05,240 --> 01:47:09,840
Speaker 1: offensive line translate maybe into success both running and passing

1967
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:13,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs? And does that continuity can they can

1968
01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 1: they really carry that in with an offensive line that's

1969
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:18,920
Speaker 1: only been playing together now if Bates is in there

1970
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:23,679
Speaker 1: for three weeks, Yeah, and I think so, And they

1971
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:25,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't like it this way, but the fact that the

1972
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:29,080
Speaker 1: Bills have had so many different lineups this year, We've

1973
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:32,439
Speaker 1: seen so many guys get experienced, and so I think

1974
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:35,880
Speaker 1: they'd be comfortable even if they were missing Bates this week.

1975
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:38,600
Speaker 1: And however that would shake out, and who would they

1976
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:41,240
Speaker 1: put in there? Likely John Policiana, who he saw at

1977
01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:42,640
Speaker 1: the end of that game, who's got a ton of

1978
01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:46,000
Speaker 1: starting experience in this league. And Cody Ford, who would

1979
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:49,400
Speaker 1: back up the other guard spot. You know, he's got

1980
01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:52,760
Speaker 1: experience in this league as well, and so that's a

1981
01:47:52,840 --> 01:47:55,599
Speaker 1: good position to be in. But continuity on the offensive

1982
01:47:55,640 --> 01:47:58,720
Speaker 1: line matters, and when you are running combination blocks with

1983
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:00,600
Speaker 1: a guy that you've played a good amount of ball with,

1984
01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:04,000
Speaker 1: it becomes easier. When you're communicating in pass protection on

1985
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:06,720
Speaker 1: where we're going and how you're helping out and you

1986
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:08,720
Speaker 1: know your presence with the center or the guard or

1987
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. That continuity matters. And so hopefully

1988
01:48:12,240 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 1: Bates is okay with that injury and they can roll

1989
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:16,679
Speaker 1: out with this group again this week and then carry

1990
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 1: it in to the first round of the playoffs, and

1991
01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:23,160
Speaker 1: that would definitely make a difference moving forward. This wasn't

1992
01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 1: a headline grabber by any stretch in the game yesterday

1993
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 1: because the passing game really didn't factor in greatly to

1994
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:30,840
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game, But a lot of Bills

1995
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:34,120
Speaker 1: fans were interested to see what the snap breakdown would

1996
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:38,520
Speaker 1: look like in the receiving corps, chiefly between Isaiah McKenzie

1997
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:41,960
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley. When all is said and done, Beasley

1998
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 1: gets thirteen more snaps than McKenzie, thirty seven to twenty four,

1999
01:48:46,520 --> 01:48:49,559
Speaker 1: but that's a forty nine percent share of the offensive

2000
01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,640
Speaker 1: snaps compared to thirty two percent. I don't know if

2001
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:54,800
Speaker 1: you noticed, Eric, but a good deal of the red

2002
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:58,720
Speaker 1: zone snaps went to McKenzie in addition to Beasley. So

2003
01:48:59,120 --> 01:49:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything to be made of

2004
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:03,439
Speaker 1: it in light of how the game turned out. Where

2005
01:49:03,479 --> 01:49:06,280
Speaker 1: do you think it goes from here? After? You know,

2006
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:09,439
Speaker 1: yesterday's game really didn't reveal anything to us. I don't

2007
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:12,120
Speaker 1: think no, I don't think it. I don't think it

2008
01:49:12,200 --> 01:49:15,160
Speaker 1: did because because the passing game wasn't there yesterday, like

2009
01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:17,920
Speaker 1: he said. But you know, after the performance we saw

2010
01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:21,479
Speaker 1: from Isaiah McKenzie against New England and what he does

2011
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 1: with his motion and the threat of the jet sweep

2012
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:28,479
Speaker 1: and all, and his ability to run after catch, I

2013
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:29,880
Speaker 1: think you got to have him out there. I think

2014
01:49:30,040 --> 01:49:32,800
Speaker 1: he plays a role in this run game being more

2015
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:37,679
Speaker 1: effective because he creates. He draws a lot of attention

2016
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 1: from the defense. He catches their eyes when he comes

2017
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:42,920
Speaker 1: across the formation, when he's lined up in the backfield,

2018
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,479
Speaker 1: when he goes out on a swing pass, he's taking

2019
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:47,519
Speaker 1: a lot of eyes and he's helping them out. So

2020
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:51,840
Speaker 1: other Isaiah McKenzie's got to be a crucial part of

2021
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:54,599
Speaker 1: the game plan moving forward. But you have Cole Beasley,

2022
01:49:54,680 --> 01:49:58,200
Speaker 1: who is so good for this organization and has been

2023
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 1: and you have confidence in him moving forward as well.

2024
01:50:01,120 --> 01:50:03,000
Speaker 1: And so it's a good problem to have. And then

2025
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, yesterday they hold out Emmanuel Sanders, who will

2026
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:10,840
Speaker 1: likely be getting healthier. And yes, the Bills are in

2027
01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:13,120
Speaker 1: a great position to have so many receivers they trust

2028
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:16,479
Speaker 1: now keeping five receivers happy, and Steve you know this

2029
01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:18,680
Speaker 1: more than anybody. It's hard to keep receivers happy. You

2030
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 1: played with Andre Reid and from guys I've talked to it,

2031
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, those receivers don't get enough balls in the game.

2032
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:25,760
Speaker 1: They don't care if you win. At times they want

2033
01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:27,840
Speaker 1: the ball. So they got to keep all these guys happy.

2034
01:50:27,920 --> 01:50:30,120
Speaker 1: But I think Gabe Davis is a guy that you've

2035
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 1: got to continue to keep on the field. And then

2036
01:50:32,439 --> 01:50:34,720
Speaker 1: obviously Stefon Diggs, one of the best receivers in the

2037
01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:37,000
Speaker 1: entire NFL, is going to be out there as much

2038
01:50:37,040 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 1: as you can. Yeah, Gabe Davis actually had more snaps

2039
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:43,360
Speaker 1: at receiver than any other player on the roster at

2040
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:46,479
Speaker 1: the receiver position, sixty six snaps for eighty seven percent.

2041
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:49,000
Speaker 1: That was even more than Diggs, who had seventy nine

2042
01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:51,240
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps. Eric, thanks very much for the

2043
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:53,720
Speaker 1: time as always. I'm sure you're happy to know you're

2044
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:55,479
Speaker 1: gonna have a little more time to get back up

2045
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:57,880
Speaker 1: here for the game next weekend since it's been moved

2046
01:50:57,920 --> 01:51:01,360
Speaker 1: to four twenty five. And thanks again for dinner last night.

2047
01:51:01,400 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 1: We appreciate it absolutely. It was a great time last

2048
01:51:05,479 --> 01:51:07,439
Speaker 1: night and look forward to seeing you guys this week.

2049
01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:11,400
Speaker 1: All right at Eric Wood joining us here, and as

2050
01:51:11,479 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 1: he does every Monday after games, he'll do the same

2051
01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:16,879
Speaker 1: next Monday after the season finale, the regular season finale

2052
01:51:17,240 --> 01:51:20,519
Speaker 1: against the Jets. You know he's driving up. He's driving

2053
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:24,200
Speaker 1: up from Louisville last week. You gotta get an early start.

2054
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 1: He's probably over the moon that it's a four twenty

2055
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 1: five start, although going back could be a very late

2056
01:51:29,240 --> 01:51:31,280
Speaker 1: night if he doesn't fly in, if he drives. It's true,

2057
01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:34,679
Speaker 1: that's a haul four twenty What do you think about

2058
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:36,840
Speaker 1: what's your you like in the four twenty five. I've

2059
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 1: always been kind of a one pm guy if the

2060
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:41,200
Speaker 1: games on Sunday. I mean, don't get me wrong, I

2061
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:45,720
Speaker 1: like my primetime games. It's never kind for the journalists

2062
01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:47,920
Speaker 1: that have to write after the game, the deadlines are

2063
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:51,640
Speaker 1: a lot tighter. So selfishly, I would tell you that

2064
01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:55,360
Speaker 1: most journalists do not prefer the primetime games. I get

2065
01:51:55,400 --> 01:51:58,760
Speaker 1: the atmosphere is more electric, for sure, players get more

2066
01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 1: fired up playing under the life. But I've always been

2067
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:04,360
Speaker 1: like a one pm Sunday guy. I don't know, yeah,

2068
01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:06,479
Speaker 1: I just liked the routine. It was said that the

2069
01:52:06,560 --> 01:52:09,000
Speaker 1: four twenty five game on Sunday is the one that

2070
01:52:09,080 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 1: grabs the biggest number. Well right, yeah, well, but usually

2071
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:14,680
Speaker 1: it goes to more of the country too, right, And

2072
01:52:14,960 --> 01:52:18,080
Speaker 1: there's only the The AFC has two four twenty five games,

2073
01:52:18,120 --> 01:52:21,639
Speaker 1: the NFC has I think four. There's six games moved

2074
01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:24,640
Speaker 1: to four twenty five, and they're all did it strategically

2075
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:26,640
Speaker 1: so nobody would know or have a game that was

2076
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 1: meaningless later in the day, so they moved them. And

2077
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:32,160
Speaker 1: even the simultaneous games would be you know, distracting. So

2078
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 1: and they wanted some drama. They got it, they got it,

2079
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:39,360
Speaker 1: they got it. It's gonna be a really, really fantastic

2080
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:41,880
Speaker 1: week of football. I'm really looking forward to it. Um

2081
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,080
Speaker 1: the Bill's game against the Jets. We haven't we won't

2082
01:52:44,120 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 1: start probably talking about that until tomorrow, probably, but um

2083
01:52:47,400 --> 01:52:49,040
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. I gotta start digging into what

2084
01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:52,640
Speaker 1: the Jets have been doing. They I thought they were

2085
01:52:52,640 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 1: gonna win yesterday and put up a good effort and

2086
01:52:55,240 --> 01:52:58,560
Speaker 1: Brady with forty what forty three seconds left throws a

2087
01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:01,519
Speaker 1: twenty five yard touchdown strike one on one coverage the

2088
01:53:01,880 --> 01:53:04,160
Speaker 1: end zone for a win to a guy I've never

2089
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:09,479
Speaker 1: heard of. Four hundred and ten yards. Guys. Unbelievable, guys, unbelievable. Yeah.

2090
01:53:10,200 --> 01:53:13,639
Speaker 1: There is some other news concerning another playoff bound team,

2091
01:53:14,200 --> 01:53:18,519
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel. In his Zoom

2092
01:53:18,600 --> 01:53:22,960
Speaker 1: press conference with the Tennessee media, when asked about Derek

2093
01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:26,160
Speaker 1: Henry's condition, because, as you know, Steve, it was widely

2094
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:29,440
Speaker 1: reported that he should be ready in time for the playoffs,

2095
01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:34,200
Speaker 1: he said, quote, Derek is doing some work today. We'll

2096
01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:37,439
Speaker 1: see when that practice window opens. When you have a

2097
01:53:37,479 --> 01:53:41,360
Speaker 1: player on IR, you determine when you want to reinstall

2098
01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:44,960
Speaker 1: them into practice. That opens a twenty one day practice window,

2099
01:53:45,520 --> 01:53:47,960
Speaker 1: and then through that twenty one day period, it could

2100
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:49,920
Speaker 1: be three days, it could be twenty one days, they

2101
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:52,400
Speaker 1: decide whether to put him back on the active roster.

2102
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:55,000
Speaker 1: So he says, Derek is doing some work today. We'll

2103
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:58,040
Speaker 1: see when that practice window opens and probably make a

2104
01:53:58,160 --> 01:54:03,320
Speaker 1: decision midweek. So there is a possibility that Derrick Henry,

2105
01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:07,560
Speaker 1: who had a bad foot injury, could be back in

2106
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:11,040
Speaker 1: the span of nine weeks. I think, not have surgery

2107
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:14,479
Speaker 1: as well he did. Yeah, he's a freaking nature. There's

2108
01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:17,679
Speaker 1: no other way to describe. That took him about nine

2109
01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:21,400
Speaker 1: weeks to be back on the practice field. So even

2110
01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:24,880
Speaker 1: though he may still be on injured reserve this week,

2111
01:54:25,160 --> 01:54:27,840
Speaker 1: he could get back practicing with his teammates, which I

2112
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:30,439
Speaker 1: would anticipate if I'm the Titans, I get him back

2113
01:54:30,479 --> 01:54:33,800
Speaker 1: in the practice setting this week and just have him

2114
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:37,240
Speaker 1: get himself tuned up and ready to roll for the postseason.

2115
01:54:37,440 --> 01:54:39,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fresh set of legs in the postseason.

2116
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:42,320
Speaker 1: And that's not just any set of legs either. I

2117
01:54:42,360 --> 01:54:48,560
Speaker 1: mean this is six five two fast guy. Yeah, that's

2118
01:54:48,920 --> 01:54:51,400
Speaker 1: that's a big weapon. And you, like I said earlier

2119
01:54:51,440 --> 01:54:53,160
Speaker 1: in the show, I think Mike Vrabel deserves a lot

2120
01:54:53,200 --> 01:54:55,920
Speaker 1: of credit for the way he's coached Tennessee. They you

2121
01:54:56,120 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 1: and me and a lot of people were writing them

2122
01:54:57,520 --> 01:54:59,200
Speaker 1: off when Derrick Henry went down with that foot injury.

2123
01:54:59,240 --> 01:55:01,000
Speaker 1: There's just no way because he was the engine that

2124
01:55:01,080 --> 01:55:03,160
Speaker 1: drove that train and they were out in front of

2125
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:05,720
Speaker 1: the AFC, their number one seed in the conference. Then

2126
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:08,480
Speaker 1: they lost him and they just continued to win, and

2127
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:11,080
Speaker 1: they're the number one seed in the conference. There was

2128
01:55:11,080 --> 01:55:13,080
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks where they fluctuated in and out,

2129
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:15,240
Speaker 1: but they've been right at the top of the conference

2130
01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:19,120
Speaker 1: for the entire season and they're gonna if they win

2131
01:55:19,280 --> 01:55:22,040
Speaker 1: this Sunday, they're the one seed. You got to tip

2132
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:24,400
Speaker 1: your hat to that crew, Mike Vrabel, and we've seen

2133
01:55:24,440 --> 01:55:27,000
Speaker 1: it here in Buffalo a couple of times. We've Tennessee

2134
01:55:27,080 --> 01:55:29,080
Speaker 1: has been one of those out of division opponents where

2135
01:55:29,120 --> 01:55:31,480
Speaker 1: we've kind of seen them once a year for the

2136
01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:35,520
Speaker 1: last three or four years. They are well coached. That's

2137
01:55:35,560 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 1: one of the things that I said this earlier in

2138
01:55:37,360 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 1: the show, as well their clock management, their play selection,

2139
01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:44,680
Speaker 1: their time out usage, the way their guys run the sidelines,

2140
01:55:44,720 --> 01:55:47,600
Speaker 1: their in game adjustments. Their coaching staff is spot on.

2141
01:55:47,760 --> 01:55:49,360
Speaker 1: I really and I got a lot of respect for

2142
01:55:49,400 --> 01:55:51,720
Speaker 1: those guys and the way their team has played in

2143
01:55:51,760 --> 01:55:53,720
Speaker 1: the absence of maybe the best offensive player in the

2144
01:55:53,800 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 1: league at the time of his injury. The way they

2145
01:55:56,280 --> 01:56:00,240
Speaker 1: played in his absence has been pretty remarkable. We have

2146
01:56:00,400 --> 01:56:03,360
Speaker 1: talked an awful lot on this show about Buffalo's offense,

2147
01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:08,320
Speaker 1: and understandably so, I don't know. We've talked about the

2148
01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:10,600
Speaker 1: defense and how well it has played pretty much wire

2149
01:56:10,680 --> 01:56:14,440
Speaker 1: to wire this season. But Bill's pr just tweeted this out.

2150
01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:21,320
Speaker 1: The Bill's defense since twenty seventeen, first in total defense.

2151
01:56:21,440 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 1: This is over the McDermott era. First in total defense,

2152
01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 1: second in takeaways, first in passing defense, first in opposing

2153
01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:35,200
Speaker 1: passer rating, and third in points per game allowed. Those

2154
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:40,920
Speaker 1: are top three rankings across the board since twenty seventeen.

2155
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:45,760
Speaker 1: We're talking about a five year stretch it has been

2156
01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:49,240
Speaker 1: that is pretty damn good. I'll say this, and I

2157
01:56:49,280 --> 01:56:51,160
Speaker 1: said it early in the show too. I'll get back

2158
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:55,840
Speaker 1: to it. This run of four playoffs out of five years,

2159
01:56:56,080 --> 01:56:58,840
Speaker 1: that every one of these opportunities when you get in

2160
01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:01,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Remember Houston three years ago, then last year

2161
01:57:01,080 --> 01:57:02,880
Speaker 1: they get into the AFC Championship Game, and of course

2162
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:05,160
Speaker 1: this year and four years or five years ago when

2163
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:06,920
Speaker 1: they got win went down to Jacksonville for the first

2164
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:09,480
Speaker 1: time in almost two decades of being out of the playoffs,

2165
01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:13,960
Speaker 1: every one of these opportunities is fragile. And just like that,

2166
01:57:14,320 --> 01:57:16,520
Speaker 1: with maybe three or four plays over the course of

2167
01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:18,960
Speaker 1: seventeen weeks thus far, the Bills would be the number

2168
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:21,960
Speaker 1: one seed. That's how fragile these opportunities are, and that's

2169
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 1: how fragile these seasons are and these seedings. But I'll

2170
01:57:25,680 --> 01:57:30,160
Speaker 1: say this, the Bills have got a really good football

2171
01:57:30,200 --> 01:57:31,640
Speaker 1: team and it's going to be really good for the

2172
01:57:31,720 --> 01:57:36,000
Speaker 1: foreseeable future. And as fragile as these opportunities are to

2173
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:38,560
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs, and one mistake at the wrong

2174
01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 1: time costs your game, your season's over. This is a

2175
01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:44,040
Speaker 1: team that has earned the right to get there and

2176
01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 1: take those swings at the last three or four out

2177
01:57:46,840 --> 01:57:49,520
Speaker 1: of the last five years, and this one's no different.

2178
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:51,560
Speaker 1: As good as this team has played at times, it's

2179
01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:55,240
Speaker 1: been a little inconsistent this year. This is a real

2180
01:57:55,360 --> 01:57:57,400
Speaker 1: opportunity for them to take a swing and try and

2181
01:57:57,440 --> 01:58:00,960
Speaker 1: get the brass ring, you know, try and win a championship.

2182
01:58:01,480 --> 01:58:05,600
Speaker 1: And it's fun to be there, it's really fun. And

2183
01:58:05,680 --> 01:58:08,560
Speaker 1: this is a team that goes whether this team is

2184
01:58:08,640 --> 01:58:11,040
Speaker 1: in the whether this team is won and done this season,

2185
01:58:11,200 --> 01:58:13,120
Speaker 1: or goes all the way, wins the Super Bowl. Whatever.

2186
01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:15,800
Speaker 1: The expectations for next year are going to be right

2187
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:18,720
Speaker 1: where they were this year. This is it seems to

2188
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:22,880
Speaker 1: be a regime and an ownership group, a coaching staff,

2189
01:58:22,920 --> 01:58:26,880
Speaker 1: a scouting staff, a draft philosophy that seems sustainable. Now.

2190
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:28,080
Speaker 1: I think gets a lot of fun to be a

2191
01:58:28,160 --> 01:58:30,160
Speaker 1: part of it and watch it as Bills fans. This is.

2192
01:58:30,360 --> 01:58:33,720
Speaker 1: This is a team that's on it and you see

2193
01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:36,360
Speaker 1: the results over the last five years. They have been

2194
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:41,480
Speaker 1: consistently good throughout and it's it's fun. But man o, man,

2195
01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:47,160
Speaker 1: it's fragile. Yeah, it's so fragile. These optis, these these opportunities,

2196
01:58:47,400 --> 01:58:49,080
Speaker 1: you think, oh, okay, we're gonna get another shot next

2197
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:51,600
Speaker 1: Next year's a long time away. Dan Marino thought he

2198
01:58:51,680 --> 01:58:53,120
Speaker 1: was going to get another shot at a Super Bowl

2199
01:58:53,120 --> 01:58:55,640
Speaker 1: and never got him one. That's why these they're so awesome.

2200
01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:57,800
Speaker 1: To be a part, you gotta just like I, like

2201
01:58:57,840 --> 01:58:59,720
Speaker 1: I always said, just rubbed this on your face because

2202
01:58:59,720 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 1: this is awesome man to be. You got a home

2203
01:59:01,840 --> 01:59:04,440
Speaker 1: playoff game on the horizon, you got a game against

2204
01:59:04,480 --> 01:59:07,160
Speaker 1: the Jets to finish up the regular season, home game,

2205
01:59:07,880 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 1: just enjoy this no matter how it ends. You know

2206
01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:13,520
Speaker 1: the next year's we're gonna take this ride again. It's

2207
01:59:13,520 --> 01:59:16,400
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome break time for us. Here. When we

2208

2220
02:00:05,200 --> 02:00:07,840
Speaker 1: tweet sheet. Haven't hit that yet? Tweet sheet brought to

2221
02:00:07,880 --> 02:00:11,200
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving companies

2222
02:00:11,440 --> 02:00:14,800
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, and Nick leads us off and says,

2223
02:00:15,360 --> 02:00:17,320
Speaker 1: We've been doing a lot of things better lately, like

2224
02:00:17,440 --> 02:00:20,440
Speaker 1: our run game and pass rush, but I'm still worried

2225
02:00:20,440 --> 02:00:24,080
Speaker 1: about our run defense. There really hasn't been much improvement,

2226
02:00:24,440 --> 02:00:27,440
Speaker 1: even in this three game win streak. I can't see

2227
02:00:27,520 --> 02:00:29,840
Speaker 1: us beating a team like the Colts if we have

2228
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:32,840
Speaker 1: to play them again now, Steve. I posed it to

2229
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:35,040
Speaker 1: Eric in the last segment when we had him on.

2230
02:00:36,800 --> 02:00:40,840
Speaker 1: It's the highest probability. Matchups for the Bills in the

2231
02:00:40,920 --> 02:00:47,839
Speaker 1: wild card round of the playoffs are in order, Patriots, Colts, Raiders.

2232
02:00:49,080 --> 02:00:52,240
Speaker 1: Eric said he would take the Raiders. I would say

2233
02:00:52,560 --> 02:00:55,480
Speaker 1: I would take the Raiders or the Patriots. I would

2234
02:00:55,480 --> 02:00:59,880
Speaker 1: take the Colts last. The reason why is, in my estimate,

2235
02:01:01,080 --> 02:01:03,480
Speaker 1: the Colts are the only one of those three teams

2236
02:01:04,080 --> 02:01:07,640
Speaker 1: with a truly elite take over the game type player

2237
02:01:07,720 --> 02:01:12,920
Speaker 1: in Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, I would agree with that. I'm

2238
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:16,080
Speaker 1: not as afraid of the running game as I was

2239
02:01:17,520 --> 02:01:19,640
Speaker 1: a month ago. Feel better about Yeah, I feel better

2240
02:01:19,680 --> 02:01:21,720
Speaker 1: about it. And I feel better about our offense as well,

2241
02:01:21,800 --> 02:01:24,520
Speaker 1: or particularly our offensive line and their ability to hold

2242
02:01:24,600 --> 02:01:28,080
Speaker 1: up both in the run and the past. It's it's

2243
02:01:28,120 --> 02:01:29,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough game to honor who you play.

2244
02:01:29,640 --> 02:01:31,280
Speaker 1: Patriots are going to give you a full effort after

2245
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:36,000
Speaker 1: what happened to them in their own building. There's there's

2246
02:01:36,040 --> 02:01:38,600
Speaker 1: word coming out of the New England that they looked

2247
02:01:38,640 --> 02:01:40,640
Speaker 1: in the mirror this last week after losing to the

2248
02:01:40,680 --> 02:01:44,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and the division that they they really stepped

2249
02:01:44,400 --> 02:01:46,440
Speaker 1: it up and you could see the result on Sunday

2250
02:01:46,440 --> 02:01:49,720
Speaker 1: they beat the Jaguars fifty to ten. Yeah, they came

2251
02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:51,920
Speaker 1: out angry after losing to the Buffalo Bills. So if

2252
02:01:52,520 --> 02:01:55,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots would have an enormous chip on their shoulder

2253
02:01:55,280 --> 02:01:58,840
Speaker 1: coming into Buffalo again to play the Bills. The Colts

2254
02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:00,440
Speaker 1: are or what they had. They play with a lot

2255
02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:02,880
Speaker 1: of confidence and they can run the ball like nobody else.

2256
02:02:03,800 --> 02:02:08,280
Speaker 1: The other team, the Raiders, don't know there they've had.

2257
02:02:08,480 --> 02:02:13,000
Speaker 1: They are unknown. Yeah, they're and they're a little bit

2258
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 1: of an up and down team, as their record indicates.

2259
02:02:15,200 --> 02:02:17,879
Speaker 1: And I don't have from the Desert up to Buffalo

2260
02:02:17,920 --> 02:02:21,160
Speaker 1: each well, right, an indoor team at that um. Yeah,

2261
02:02:21,200 --> 02:02:23,320
Speaker 1: there are times where I don't want to say they

2262
02:02:23,360 --> 02:02:25,800
Speaker 1: look like world beaters, but they look pretty formidable. Yeah,

2263
02:02:25,960 --> 02:02:27,680
Speaker 1: And then there are other weeks where it's like, is

2264
02:02:27,720 --> 02:02:29,800
Speaker 1: that the same team, Like they don't even look like

2265
02:02:29,880 --> 02:02:33,920
Speaker 1: the same team sometimes tea. And yet that team went

2266
02:02:33,960 --> 02:02:36,400
Speaker 1: out and beat the Colts this past week, and what

2267
02:02:36,520 --> 02:02:39,000
Speaker 1: they did was they put the game in Carson Wentz

2268
02:02:39,040 --> 02:02:42,400
Speaker 1: his hands and he couldn't deliver and the Raiders pass

2269
02:02:42,480 --> 02:02:45,720
Speaker 1: rush eight and he did not do enough to help

2270
02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:47,800
Speaker 1: them win the football game. They made a conservat effort

2271
02:02:47,840 --> 02:02:51,520
Speaker 1: to stop Jonathan Taylor accomplish that. So how you beat

2272
02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:54,360
Speaker 1: the Colts? Yeah, all right, then they pulled it off.

2273
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:58,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough. I mean, it's gonna be difficult

2274
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:00,400
Speaker 1: to conditions for anybody to come in here and play,

2275
02:03:00,600 --> 02:03:02,760
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be conditions, tough conditions for the Bills

2276
02:03:02,760 --> 02:03:06,160
Speaker 1: as well. But I think he crossed that bridge when

2277
02:03:06,240 --> 02:03:07,800
Speaker 1: you get to it. I think the Bills have got

2278
02:03:07,960 --> 02:03:09,960
Speaker 1: to win against the Jets this weekend. I think they're

2279
02:03:09,960 --> 02:03:12,720
Speaker 1: gonna play, and they're gonna play hard. They're gonna come

2280
02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:15,640
Speaker 1: out and and try and fine tune some things. There's

2281
02:03:15,640 --> 02:03:17,800
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna find out about some guys on this offense.

2282
02:03:17,840 --> 02:03:21,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna find out about this offensive line again, and

2283
02:03:21,960 --> 02:03:25,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw some things out there that I think

2284
02:03:25,480 --> 02:03:28,320
Speaker 1: they want to find out about going into the playoffs. Um,

2285
02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:31,480
Speaker 1: it'll be an interesting game, no question that it does.

2286
02:03:31,840 --> 02:03:34,280
Speaker 1: It's been an inconsistent year, like the Bills have been

2287
02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:36,800
Speaker 1: It's been inconsistent like that all the way across the conference.

2288
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:40,200
Speaker 1: Look where the Chiefs were three months ago. People were

2289
02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:43,520
Speaker 1: calling them down and out dead. And look at the

2290
02:03:43,640 --> 02:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers losing the couple of the games they lost.

2291
02:03:48,480 --> 02:03:50,920
Speaker 1: You know, the Bills. Of course, the Jacksonville game stands out,

2292
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,200
Speaker 1: the Colt game stands out, and it's just it's an

2293
02:03:53,280 --> 02:03:55,760
Speaker 1: up and down year. And every single week we see

2294
02:03:55,840 --> 02:03:59,520
Speaker 1: somebody who's a surprise. How shocked were you yesterday the

2295
02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:04,160
Speaker 1: Colts beat I don't know that I was shocked. Shocked

2296
02:04:04,240 --> 02:04:07,480
Speaker 1: is a little strong, maybe a little surprised with the

2297
02:04:07,520 --> 02:04:10,400
Speaker 1: way they had been playing, especially after they were able

2298
02:04:10,440 --> 02:04:13,320
Speaker 1: to beat Arizona on the road shorthanded with like one

2299
02:04:13,440 --> 02:04:16,800
Speaker 1: starting offensive lineman. And then they come out the next

2300
02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:19,360
Speaker 1: week and they can't beat the Raiders on the road. Yeah,

2301
02:04:19,400 --> 02:04:21,120
Speaker 1: it's an up and down here. To scratch your head

2302
02:04:21,120 --> 02:04:24,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. Sure, I've said it since last year

2303
02:04:24,680 --> 02:04:27,800
Speaker 1: in the AFC title game. You gotta play well on

2304
02:04:27,880 --> 02:04:30,400
Speaker 1: that day, Yep. No matter how good you are, how

2305
02:04:30,480 --> 02:04:32,640
Speaker 1: talented you are, you gotta play well on that day.

2306
02:04:32,720 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 1: And as Josh Allen himself has said, you don't even

2307
02:04:35,360 --> 02:04:36,680
Speaker 1: have to be the best team in the league. You

2308
02:04:36,800 --> 02:04:38,000
Speaker 1: just have to be the best team on the field

2309
02:04:38,040 --> 02:04:43,760
Speaker 1: you're playing on that day. That's right, that's right. Early

2310
02:04:43,880 --> 02:04:48,160
Speaker 1: forecast for Sunday's game against the Jets. High of forty one,

2311
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:53,480
Speaker 1: low of twenty six, forty percent chance of mixed precipitation snow,

2312
02:04:53,600 --> 02:04:56,240
Speaker 1: rain mix. Yea, what you're talking about. It's gonna depend

2313
02:04:56,280 --> 02:04:58,240
Speaker 1: on where the temperature is at kickoff. You want to

2314
02:04:59,280 --> 02:05:02,320
Speaker 1: you want it to be dry, even if it's frozen water,

2315
02:05:02,920 --> 02:05:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, just so you can brush it off. You know,

2316
02:05:05,760 --> 02:05:08,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to slog around in it. Oh my gosh. Yeah,

2317
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:12,720
Speaker 1: it just weighs you down and cold rain. Ethan on

2318
02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:15,200
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet says, my biggest takeaway is that even

2319
02:05:15,240 --> 02:05:17,400
Speaker 1: though QB one didn't have a great day passing the ball,

2320
02:05:17,480 --> 02:05:19,800
Speaker 1: our old line run game and defense picked them up.

2321
02:05:20,080 --> 02:05:24,040
Speaker 1: We're going to the playoffs. Go Bills Herbs says, I

2322
02:05:24,200 --> 02:05:26,480
Speaker 1: like the way we have found our run game motor

2323
02:05:26,560 --> 02:05:29,120
Speaker 1: looks awesome. The end of the day, we can have

2324
02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:31,400
Speaker 1: I and ts whether the balls are tipped or not.

2325
02:05:32,160 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 1: We must protect the ball to have any chance of

2326
02:05:34,240 --> 02:05:36,120
Speaker 1: a long run in the playoffs and If you look

2327
02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:39,280
Speaker 1: at Buffalo's losses, it's the turnovers that have done them

2328
02:05:39,320 --> 02:05:42,680
Speaker 1: in almost more than any other factor. A thousand percent correct,

2329
02:05:42,960 --> 02:05:45,840
Speaker 1: a thousand percent correct. The Bills beat the Patriots by

2330
02:05:46,560 --> 02:05:49,680
Speaker 1: twelve points. They didn't turn it over, not in the

2331
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:51,920
Speaker 1: run game, not in the passing game, and Josh threw

2332
02:05:51,960 --> 02:05:54,640
Speaker 1: the football away on a handful of occasions. Just don't

2333
02:05:54,720 --> 02:05:57,760
Speaker 1: let them have it for free. That's how you beat

2334
02:05:57,840 --> 02:05:59,800
Speaker 1: some of these teams, and certainly in the playoffs, that's

2335
02:05:59,800 --> 02:06:03,080
Speaker 1: what it's going to take. You cannot turn the football over,

2336
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:07,880
Speaker 1: and I think Max is Herb is exactly right, you can't.

2337
02:06:08,360 --> 02:06:11,200
Speaker 1: You can't turn it over minus two in the game

2338
02:06:11,200 --> 02:06:15,680
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville on the turnover margin, Max on the tweet

2339
02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:21,880
Speaker 1: sheet says, it was glorious three exclamation points. I wanted

2340
02:06:21,920 --> 02:06:23,880
Speaker 1: to see a tough, gritty win like that so bad.

2341
02:06:24,040 --> 02:06:26,760
Speaker 1: Glad to see the fight to win that way in

2342
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:30,680
Speaker 1: that fashion is what we've been missing all year. Getting

2343
02:06:30,760 --> 02:06:34,600
Speaker 1: that tough w even with four turnovers, says a lot

2344
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:38,040
Speaker 1: about this team. Very confident going into the postseason. The

2345
02:06:38,120 --> 02:06:41,720
Speaker 1: only thing is four turnovers against a playoff team, you're

2346
02:06:41,720 --> 02:06:45,080
Speaker 1: probably going home, You're done, You're probably going home because

2347
02:06:45,080 --> 02:06:49,440
Speaker 1: the teams are just that much better in every phase

2348
02:06:49,520 --> 02:06:53,320
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, and yeah, and you'll pay for it. Conversely,

2349
02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:56,320
Speaker 1: if you can get four turnovers, you're sitting pretty you

2350
02:06:56,400 --> 02:06:59,680
Speaker 1: should be. Yeah. So and there's that as well, but

2351
02:06:59,800 --> 02:07:03,760
Speaker 1: that I agree. You can't turn the football over. And

2352
02:07:03,840 --> 02:07:06,080
Speaker 1: a team like the Bills, who throws it so much,

2353
02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:09,560
Speaker 1: and when Josh is trying to make up for one

2354
02:07:09,640 --> 02:07:12,600
Speaker 1: mistake by making another mistake and then a third mistake,

2355
02:07:14,080 --> 02:07:16,040
Speaker 1: it leads down a path that is you know that

2356
02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:19,240
Speaker 1: injure season pretty quick. Yeah. Rick on the tweet sheet

2357
02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:22,240
Speaker 1: says the biggest takeaway is that the offense can rally

2358
02:07:22,320 --> 02:07:25,120
Speaker 1: to the occasion, so seventeen doesn't have to do everything himself.

2359
02:07:25,280 --> 02:07:27,960
Speaker 1: Nice to see the ball control with twenty six running

2360
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:31,000
Speaker 1: like a demon. That was something though they got that

2361
02:07:31,120 --> 02:07:35,000
Speaker 1: done yesterday. They ran the foot that five plus minutes

2362
02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:38,360
Speaker 1: left in the game and it was over. The Bills

2363
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:40,680
Speaker 1: ran the football out, ran the clock out, got it

2364
02:07:40,720 --> 02:07:42,600
Speaker 1: down to the two minute, got a first down and

2365
02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:45,640
Speaker 1: it was over. Knelt down on the last two minutes.

2366
02:07:45,680 --> 02:07:49,360
Speaker 1: They burned that three minutes of the clock to end

2367
02:07:49,440 --> 02:07:51,160
Speaker 1: up with a two minute warning with a first down

2368
02:07:51,200 --> 02:07:52,880
Speaker 1: and that's when you can kneel down and end the game.

2369
02:07:53,040 --> 02:07:56,920
Speaker 1: What it was an enormous, an enormous statement. I think

2370
02:07:56,960 --> 02:08:02,120
Speaker 1: that really lends itself to some optimism. David on the

2371
02:08:02,160 --> 02:08:04,760
Speaker 1: tweet sheet says, four turnovers, three I and T s,

2372
02:08:04,840 --> 02:08:07,640
Speaker 1: the safety and still pulled away with the wind shows

2373
02:08:07,680 --> 02:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the determination or sense of urgency that was lacking earlier

2374
02:08:11,080 --> 02:08:13,120
Speaker 1: in the season. You know, I asked Mica Hide about

2375
02:08:13,160 --> 02:08:15,880
Speaker 1: that because I was asking him a question after the

2376
02:08:15,960 --> 02:08:18,680
Speaker 1: game about red zone stops, because they stopped him on

2377
02:08:18,760 --> 02:08:22,920
Speaker 1: three of four and kept points off the board at

2378
02:08:22,920 --> 02:08:25,440
Speaker 1: a pretty important time in the football game. When they

2379
02:08:25,480 --> 02:08:30,640
Speaker 1: were up twenty nine fifteen, Ryan has the failed touchdown scramble,

2380
02:08:31,080 --> 02:08:33,760
Speaker 1: then gets the taunting foul and the Bills have to

2381
02:08:33,840 --> 02:08:36,720
Speaker 1: stop two more plays from the sixteen yard line. They

2382
02:08:36,840 --> 02:08:39,200
Speaker 1: go for it on fourth and sixteen, don't get anything,

2383
02:08:39,640 --> 02:08:41,960
Speaker 1: and the Bills are off the field, no damage done.

2384
02:08:43,840 --> 02:08:47,640
Speaker 1: And Mica said something interesting. He said, Coach McDermott the

2385
02:08:47,720 --> 02:08:52,200
Speaker 1: last three weeks has demanded a sense of urgency and

2386
02:08:52,440 --> 02:08:57,160
Speaker 1: execution when we're defending in the red zone, and I

2387
02:08:57,320 --> 02:09:00,400
Speaker 1: think to a certain degree we have seen that. We

2388
02:09:00,560 --> 02:09:03,880
Speaker 1: certainly saw it yesterday. There was a juice and like

2389
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:06,840
Speaker 1: an energy to the defense when they were backed up

2390
02:09:06,880 --> 02:09:10,480
Speaker 1: in their own end and they made place. I mean,

2391
02:09:11,160 --> 02:09:16,160
Speaker 1: coverage was solid, they made stops in the run front.

2392
02:09:17,040 --> 02:09:20,920
Speaker 1: Their red zone defense was really good. Yesterday. Yeah, I

2393
02:09:21,200 --> 02:09:25,680
Speaker 1: would agree that the secondary I thought played really well.

2394
02:09:25,720 --> 02:09:28,040
Speaker 1: And you could tell because Matt Ryan would get back

2395
02:09:28,040 --> 02:09:29,800
Speaker 1: there and he was patting the ball and patting the

2396
02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:32,680
Speaker 1: ball and patting the ball. They were covered up. The

2397
02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:35,400
Speaker 1: secondary did an outstanding job that gave the defense a

2398
02:09:35,480 --> 02:09:38,000
Speaker 1: chance to get all those sacks, chase him around the

2399
02:09:38,400 --> 02:09:41,080
Speaker 1: block a couple of times, and get the sack strip

2400
02:09:41,160 --> 02:09:44,680
Speaker 1: fumble early on. That made a difference. The secondary has

2401
02:09:44,720 --> 02:09:48,760
Speaker 1: played extremely well without Tredavious White in there and Dane

2402
02:09:48,880 --> 02:09:52,480
Speaker 1: Jackson taken over for him, they've played really well. They

2403
02:09:52,520 --> 02:09:55,720
Speaker 1: gave up one big play to Pitts, Kyle Pitts on

2404
02:09:55,800 --> 02:09:58,880
Speaker 1: the sixty one yard or they got in man cover bounds.

2405
02:09:58,920 --> 02:10:02,760
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Yeah, I tweeted it out. They

2406
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:04,800
Speaker 1: gave him a sixty one yard which probably should have

2407
02:10:04,840 --> 02:10:08,200
Speaker 1: only been a twenty yarder. But by the same token,

2408
02:10:08,320 --> 02:10:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, that's one play in a game where you

2409
02:10:12,520 --> 02:10:14,960
Speaker 1: got matched up with an elite athlete at six five

2410
02:10:15,080 --> 02:10:18,560
Speaker 1: four three athlete on Dane Jackson. It's a pretty good

2411
02:10:18,640 --> 02:10:21,400
Speaker 1: job by them finding that matchup. But you know, other

2412
02:10:21,480 --> 02:10:25,280
Speaker 1: than that, it's their defense played really solidly, and I

2413
02:10:25,360 --> 02:10:27,520
Speaker 1: think particularly in the back end, even though it doesn't

2414
02:10:27,560 --> 02:10:29,920
Speaker 1: show itself with interceptions and that kind of thing. A

2415
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:33,640
Speaker 1: lot of pass breakups and a lot of a quarterback

2416
02:10:33,680 --> 02:10:36,280
Speaker 1: who just didn't have anywhere to throw it. Yeah, last one,

2417
02:10:36,440 --> 02:10:38,880
Speaker 1: JT starting old line set and healthy again, we were

2418
02:10:38,880 --> 02:10:41,200
Speaker 1: able to run the ball effectively. Singletary has a lot

2419
02:10:41,240 --> 02:10:43,840
Speaker 1: of talent. He runs hard and blocks, which is huge

2420
02:10:43,920 --> 02:10:47,520
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. Just need to execute up front every week. Now,

2421
02:10:47,960 --> 02:10:49,880
Speaker 1: do we sit our starters or go for that AFC

2422
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:52,120
Speaker 1: East title again? Oh my god, that's not even a debate.

2423
02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:55,600
Speaker 1: You go for the AFCAST title because I get your guarantees,

2424
02:10:55,640 --> 02:10:57,640
Speaker 1: your home playoff game. Yeah, you want to play at home.

2425
02:10:58,600 --> 02:11:01,920
Speaker 1: I think you want your absolute league loaded for bear

2426
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:05,320
Speaker 1: on Sunday. You're playing to win. Everybody's playing, everybody's up.

2427
02:11:05,920 --> 02:11:09,839
Speaker 1: You gotta go. That's a that's a done deal, Lucille.

2428
02:11:10,360 --> 02:11:12,160
Speaker 1: All right, we gotta take a break here. When we

2429
02:11:12,280 --> 02:11:14,880
Speaker 1: come back, Steve and I will close it up. It's

2430
02:11:14,880 --> 02:11:18,600
Speaker 1: a buffalo victory. Monday edition of One Bills Live, We're

2431
02:11:18,640 --> 02:11:34,320
Speaker 1: back in a second. Stay tune all right. Total touchdowns

2432
02:11:34,440 --> 02:11:37,840
Speaker 1: on the year for quarterback Steve tom Brady is still

2433
02:11:37,880 --> 02:11:42,200
Speaker 1: ahead of Josh Allen by account of forty two to

2434
02:11:42,480 --> 02:11:46,080
Speaker 1: forty and there are three quarterbacks behind them with thirty

2435
02:11:46,160 --> 02:11:51,000
Speaker 1: eight total touchdowns, including Aaron Rodgers, who many still deemed

2436
02:11:51,080 --> 02:11:55,080
Speaker 1: to be the MVP favorite. Although some people believe Brady

2437
02:11:55,240 --> 02:11:59,320
Speaker 1: is going to win it. Josh is playing the Jets

2438
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:04,720
Speaker 1: in Week eighteen. There are some people who believe he could,

2439
02:12:05,760 --> 02:12:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, rack up some stats and maybe win the

2440
02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:15,640
Speaker 1: total touchdown title. The Bucks are playing the Panthers in Tampa,

2441
02:12:17,680 --> 02:12:20,200
Speaker 1: and let me see, the Packers don't need the game.

2442
02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:23,120
Speaker 1: They've clinched home field and everything, the whole kit and caboodle,

2443
02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:30,000
Speaker 1: and they're playing Detroit. So I ask you could Josh

2444
02:12:30,960 --> 02:12:34,640
Speaker 1: lead the league in total touchdowns? Could by the end

2445
02:12:34,680 --> 02:12:36,800
Speaker 1: of the weekend? Well, yeah he could, but they're gonna

2446
02:12:36,800 --> 02:12:39,000
Speaker 1: have to play better offensively. They did this a weekend, right,

2447
02:12:40,240 --> 02:12:42,280
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see how the Jets finished. For

2448
02:12:42,360 --> 02:12:45,600
Speaker 1: Robert Sala, he's got a reputation for being one of

2449
02:12:45,640 --> 02:12:49,000
Speaker 1: those guys whose players love playing for him and play

2450
02:12:49,080 --> 02:12:51,000
Speaker 1: hard for him. He's a great motivator and a great

2451
02:12:51,240 --> 02:12:53,600
Speaker 1: example for those guys, a great leader. So you'd think

2452
02:12:53,600 --> 02:12:55,040
Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna come up and give a full

2453
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:58,600
Speaker 1: effort and finish the season strong in his time where

2454
02:12:58,880 --> 02:13:00,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of new guys on the

2455
02:13:00,320 --> 02:13:01,840
Speaker 1: roster next year, and if you want to shot at

2456
02:13:01,880 --> 02:13:06,600
Speaker 1: being on it, you want to finish up. But I

2457
02:13:06,760 --> 02:13:08,840
Speaker 1: think this is an offense. Don't you think that's going

2458
02:13:08,880 --> 02:13:11,680
Speaker 1: to have something to prove in Week eighteen for the

2459
02:13:11,720 --> 02:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Yeah, especially through the air. Yeah, after last week,

2460
02:13:15,760 --> 02:13:17,400
Speaker 1: I think they want to get everything tuned up and

2461
02:13:17,480 --> 02:13:19,920
Speaker 1: ready to roll for the postseason. So that's why I

2462
02:13:19,960 --> 02:13:22,680
Speaker 1: think there's a chance that you know, Josh could really

2463
02:13:23,320 --> 02:13:25,040
Speaker 1: run up some numbers. I mean Tom Brady just threw

2464
02:13:25,120 --> 02:13:28,520
Speaker 1: for four ten against them last week. Yeah, the the

2465
02:13:28,640 --> 02:13:30,680
Speaker 1: MVP is probably out of reach for Josh after the

2466
02:13:30,760 --> 02:13:33,880
Speaker 1: last weekend we just saw, although you know, running for

2467
02:13:33,920 --> 02:13:37,480
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and you know, and running the ball like

2468
02:13:37,560 --> 02:13:43,560
Speaker 1: he did. It's nice. It works for Lamar, I don't know. Yeah,

2469
02:13:43,680 --> 02:13:48,000
Speaker 1: he could lead. He could do it absolutely, absolutely too.

2470
02:13:48,160 --> 02:13:51,160
Speaker 1: This coaching staff wouldn't be sharp shy about giving him

2471
02:13:51,200 --> 02:13:53,880
Speaker 1: the chance to do it. Yeah, that'll do it for

2472
02:13:54,000 --> 02:13:57,000
Speaker 1: us here on a Monday. Get back and join us

2473
02:13:57,040 --> 02:13:59,560
Speaker 1: tomorrow at one, when we'll get our weekly appearance from

2474
02:13:59,560 --> 02:14:03,400
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt. Something tells me Motor Singletary

2475
02:14:03,560 --> 02:14:05,960
Speaker 1: might make his list of candidates for Angry Runs again.

2476
02:14:06,000 --> 02:14:08,400
Speaker 1: We'll see if he wins. We'll see it one tomorrow
