18
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 5: Back to pass, but what's coming and he's dropped.

19
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,760

35
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 4: side for a one yard touchdown run. As the Cook

36
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 4: is in the kitches, Rogers fakes the pitch throws back

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 4: to the left side on a screen attempt. Wilson had

38
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 4: it and then he bubbled the football. It's loose and

39
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 4: the fields have got it. Matt Polando jumped down the football.

40
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 5: Back to pass, has time, rolling to his right, trying

41
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,600

42
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 4: Ty Johnson and going up and pulling.

43
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 6: It down off the roof.

45
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 3: Here's the staff.

46
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 5: They run a screen to Shavers cuts it back inside.

00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: Still on his feet and through a hole fifty forty

48
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: thirty twenty.

49
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 7: Ten five touchdown Tyrell Shavers, Are you kidding me? He

50
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 7: goes sixty nine yards for a touchdown.

51
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: In one of the most unlikely plays to go.

52
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 5: The distance we have seen this season.

53
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: The Bills win in convincing fashion forty to fourteen. All Right,

54
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: your Buffalo Bills have nailed down the two seed in

55
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: the AFC side of the playoff bracket with the forty

56
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: to fourteen bludgeoning of the New York Jets. Oh, the

57
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: New York Jets. Such promise, Yeah, such predictions and pole pronostications.

58
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 8: People are starting to bring back the receipts from all

59
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 8: that was said about the Bills in the preseason. You

60
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 8: could you really couldn't find a national a national analyst, broadcaster,

61
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 8: opinion guy, whatever, any broadcast media and nationally nobody picked

62
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 8: the Bills to win this division. They did it fat

63
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 8: in record time. Week thirteen. They had it sewed up.

64
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 8: The Jets and Dolphins, who everybody was all enamored with

65
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 8: absolutely ignited in flame early in the season too, went

66
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 8: down early. Now the Dolphins have kind of climbed back

67
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 8: into it. They got a shot at it, at getting

68
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 8: in the tournament. If they can win against.

69
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 3: They have to beat the Jets and Denver has to

70
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: lose to the back Chiefs if.

71
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 8: They beat the Jets. If they beat the Jets, which

72
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 8: is likely, which may happen, Cincinnati can't get in.

73
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah game rewind incidentally presented by connect Life, an official

Speaker 3: life dot org. So yeah, we've got We'll get to

76
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: the AFC playoff picture in just a second. Because there

77
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 3: are some varying scenarios. I would say the team that

78
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: could be most impacted by the outcomes this coming weekend

79
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers, who could be anywhere from the three

80
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: seed to the sixth seed based on outcomes this coming weekend.

81
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: In Week eighteen, talk about living life on the edge.

82
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: I mean, they know they're in the playoffs, they've already

83
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: clinged a playoff berth. But three to six is a

84
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: big swing man.

85
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 8: That's what goes from home to away, you know, I mean,

86
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 8: that's that's big. Now, certainly they're playing a Cincinnati team

87
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 8: that has to win this game, and from the three

88
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 8: to the sixth seed, you go from a home game

89
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 8: to on the road someplace probably most likely, probably most

90
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 8: likely Baltimore if they're the sixth seed.

91
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: If they are the six, yeah, there is a scenario,

92
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: there are several. There are actually more scenarios where they

93
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: could be the than the six. And if the five,

94
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: they would go to Houston and play the Texans. You'd

95
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 3: probably rather do that, right than go play Baltimore a

96
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 3: third time?

97
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 8: Yeah?

98
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: Probably.

99
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know. It's uh yeah, it's a little

100
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 8: bit of a scrambled mess, but uh, Bill's lit nailed

101
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 8: down the two seed. Like we said, they dropped a

102
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 8: forty burger on the Jets before they you know, went home.

103
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: Third game, scoring forty points or more in the last

104
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 3: four weeks and twelfth time they have scored thirty points

105
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: or more this season, including nine of the last ten game.

106
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, and the Jets, you know, well, let's just not

107
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 8: for nothing. The Jets were let's see, where are they? Yeah,

108
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 8: top five in total yards game, top three in yards

109
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 8: per play, middle of the road in rush defense. Yeah,

110
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 8: but top five and rush yards per play, scoring defense,

111
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 8: they were They're like, I don't know, what are they

112
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 8: nineteenth points?

113
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: Kind of take their offense four point statistics with a

114
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: grain of salt because a lot of.

115
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 8: Times this is defense.

116
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: I'm talking about, oh defense, defense.

117
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 8: So you're hanging I'm saying, you're hanging forty points on it.

118
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 8: Not a bad defense, not a bad defense, not like

119
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 8: the Detroit defense that was decimated and the people throw

120
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 8: aspersions too. Yeah, and the ram defense you hung forty on.

121
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 8: It's Bill's offense is clicking and they got thirteen different

122
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 8: guys who've scored a touchdown.

123
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: I think there was someone that's said a couple of

124
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: months ago that they thought the Bills could be the

125
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 3: highest scoring team in the league.

126
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, somebody brilliant said that before the season. I can't

127
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 8: remember who. Oh it was me.

128
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. The Bills yesterday, with their forty point output, set

129
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: a team record for most points scored in a season,

130
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: and they did it in sixteen games, so no need

131
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: for an asterisk, as they eclipsed the twenty twenty team,

132
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: which had the record of five hundred one points scored.

133
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: The twenty twenty four Bills now have I believe it's

134
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: five hundred and nine points on the season with a

135
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: game to play.

136
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 8: So if think about this tonight, So if Detroit goes

137
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 8: in tonight and scores maybe twenty points, and certainly if

138
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 8: they score less than twenty points, the Bills are overtake them.

139
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 8: Bills might overtake them. They're point one point one point

140
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 8: behind per game this season. The Bills are scoring thirty

141
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 8: one point eight points a game. Detroit's thirty two point nine,

142
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 8: so they're just over a point of game difference. I

143
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 8: didn't know it was gonna go like this because I

144
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 8: didn't know they were gonna hang forty three games out

145
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 8: of four and this last month. But yeah, I thought

146
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 8: they had a chance to be really good because Josh

147
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 8: and this offensive line was gonna be steady. They're gonna

148
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 8: be good. I thought it was. And there was some

149
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 8: stuff about this too. Yesterday James Cook got the record

150
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 8: setting touchdown for the franchise record in touchdowns for a season.

151
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 8: Josh TuS turned around, gave it to James Cook on

152
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 8: a one yard run. Josh could have gone in on

153
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 8: a sneak if he wanted, And now James Cook is

154
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 8: leading the league in rushing touchdowns.

155
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Jalen Hurts didn't play yesterday, he was tied

156
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: with Jalen Hurts going into the games yesterday.

157
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 8: It's been a really fun year. Offensively for this club,

158
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 8: and yesterday their defense pitched in in a big way,

159
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 8: got two points of their own, and you think about

160
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 8: it would have been two to nothing even without the

161
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 8: offense score before Tyrod came in. That's right, a nice day.

162
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 3: Bills are a plus one sixty four in net point differential.

163
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 8: That's yeah, that's ten ten point what four points per game?

164
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 8: Ten points a game difference. They're went in by an

165
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 8: average of double digits.

166
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: Detroit the only team with a better point differential at

167
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: plus one ninety four, and then third is Philadelphia at

168
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 3: plus one fifty three, and then fourth is Baltimore at

169
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 3: plus one thirty two. Minnesota fifth plus one twenty two.

170
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 8: And once again we're at that spot in the in

171
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 8: the week where Josh Allens the first who have done this,

172
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 8: Josh Allens the first to have done that, Josh Allens

173
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 8: the first who have done this other thing.

174
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: Well, here's the most important one. So my estimation, and

175
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: he would probably agree. Josh became the winningest quarterback in

176
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: his first seven seasons in NFL history with his seventy

177
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: sixth career victory yesterday, passing Russell Wilson, who previously held

178
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: the record with seventy five wins in his first seven seasons,

179
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: so you hear him say it every time he breaks

180
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: down the huddle. One two, three win Guy's done it

181
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: better than anybody else at the quarterback position in his

182
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: first seven seasons in league history. I mean that includes

183
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: someone like Tom Brady who had three Super Bowls under

184
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: his belt by the time he finished seven seasons. It

185
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 3: eclipses Patrick Mahomes first seven seasons. He's got more wins

186
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: than any of those cats.

187
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 8: So he and the guy still continues to be a

188
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 8: touchdown factory for five seasons with forty, He's the only

189
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 8: guy in NFL history with five consecutive consecutives.

190
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers has six seasons of forty touchdowns or more,

191
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: but they aren't consecutive.

192
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 8: He's also the only He's one of two quarterbacks to

193
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,239
Speaker 8: be at or tied for the franchise lead in rushing touchdowns.

194
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 8: The other one is Cam Newton. I said it briefly.

195
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 8: He flirts with it all the time. You flirt with

196
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 8: it all the time, and certainly you kind of get

197
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 8: lost in it because of the current conversation about MVPs

198
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 8: and who's in the league with with Lamar and Pat

199
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 8: Mahomes and Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert and all these guys.

200
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 8: But the guy's on a Hall of Fame trajectory. He

201
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 8: is absolutely positively on a Hall of Fame trajectory. His

202
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 8: numbers will get him or alone will get him, and

203
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 8: you'll have all these guys nowadays that'll say, well, you

204
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 8: gotta win a Super Bowl. No you don't. Fran Tarkinin

205
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 8: never did, Dan Foutz never did, Warren Moon never did,

206
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 8: Dan Marino never did, Jim Kelly never did. You can

207
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 8: go down the list.

208
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: Now.

209
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 8: It's not that I don't think he's ever gonna get one.

210
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 8: He may, and it may be this year, who knows.

211
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 8: I mean, he's he's gonna get a lot of swings

212
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 8: at it. But for the numbers he's put up. That

213
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 8: used to be when the guys talk about quarterbacks like

214
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 8: this or at other positions where they say, yeah, you

215
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 8: got to kind of dominate for like you got to

216
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 8: be up there with for like a whole decade to

217
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 8: be a Hall of Fame kind of guy. Even that's

218
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 8: kind of gone away. With some of the other positions.

219
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 8: You got guys like well, even even back in the day,

220
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 8: like Gail Sayers played in sixty four games. You know,

221
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 8: he's in the Hall of Fame. But a guy like

222
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 8: Tony Boselli had six years as an offensive tackle. He's

223
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 8: in the Hall of Fame. Terrell Davis. Josh is there.

224
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 8: He's gonna be there by the you know when ten years,

225
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 8: when his the tenth anniversary of his career comes around,

226
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 8: you know, the guy's gonna it's gonna be a given.

227
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 9: Yeah.

228
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 8: I think that's what we're watching. And every year, every

229
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 8: week I laugh with Sean mcgernry. We tape his show.

230
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 8: Uh tape his show every week for most weeks, and

231
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 8: every time I ask about Josh and said, oh, by

232
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 8: the way, here's his thing this week. He's now the

233
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 8: first quarterback to you know, like I say, five consecutive

234
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 8: forty touchdown career and.

235
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: Nobody has done it.

236
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 8: Nobody's ever done.

237
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 3: It three straight years. Drew Brees did it in three

238
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: straight years forty touchdowns from twenty eleven to twenty thirteen.

239
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: Nobody's done it four. Josh has done it five and

240
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 3: that'll probably continue for a few more years at least.

241
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

242
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 8: So, and that's that's the era in which we live.

243
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 8: You got you got a bunch of guys that are

244
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 8: all timers running around the field these days. Pat Mahomes,

245
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 8: Josh Allen Lamar Sa Kwan, Joe Burrows lighting it up.

246
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 8: Just an amazing run here of Josh scores all those

247
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 8: and Josh dwarfs dwarfs their touchdown production. And it's interesting too.

248
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 8: And we talk about this this MVP thing. Yeah, he

249
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,239
Speaker 8: may win it.

250
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: Cool.

251
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, And they said wildly threw too many interceptions. I'll

252
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 8: say this, Yeah, he throws a lot of that stuff

253
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 8: when he's trying to score touchdown score touchdown score touchdowns.

254
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 8: One of the playoffs when it really matters and it's

255
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 8: do or die, he doesn't. That goes away. His playoff

256
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 8: and clutch performances are legendary. You go back and look

257
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 8: at him. That guy is money in the biggest moments,

258
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 8: and you know, now it's up to him. May have

259
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 8: a team around him and a bunch of guys around

260
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 8: him who can pick it up and pick up the

261
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 8: slack with him. This is a fun This is a

262
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 8: fun team to be covering right now. And I think

263
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 8: Bill's fans understand there is a little something different about

264
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 8: this crew. Maybe it'll be that little extra ingredient that

265
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 8: gives them the extra thump to get over the hump.

266
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 8: But this crew seems to be a little bit differ

267
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,239
Speaker 8: than the ones we've seen before, even under McDermott.

268
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: The Bills also went undefeated at home this season, marking

269
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: the third time that has happened in Teen history. The

270
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty eight and nineteen ninety Bills also went wired

271
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: and wired at home without a loss. Buffalo currently has

272
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: an eleven game home winning streak in regular season games,

273
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: stretching back to last season. It is the longest active

274
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: streak in the league and it will stretch into next

275
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: regular season. The Bills, with three takeaways yesterday, now have

276
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: thirty one on the season. That's the most in one

277
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: season in the McDermott era. There are two previous McDermott

278
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: teams that have had thirty takeaways in a season, including

279
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: last year's squad. It's the most takeaways in a season

280
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: since the twenty eleven team had thirty one. The last

281
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: Bills seemed to have more the two thousand and nine Bills,

282
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: who had thirty three. That was the Jerriisbird rookie year

283
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: when he went to the Pro Bowl with nine picks.

284
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: And led the way for the Bills with takeaways that year.

285
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: Congratulations to Tyrrel Shaver's first career NFL touchdown and as

286
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: you heard me on the call, one of the most

287
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: unlikely screen passes you would expect to go for a touchdown.

288
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: They were like twenty two guys in the box and

289
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: somehow he escapes from all of that menagerie of traffic.

290
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 8: It looks like he's running through a Christmas tree farm.

291
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: I mean, and then all of a sudden he's out

292
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: in the open and yeah, I mean he looks like

293
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: a galloping ghost out there. Yeah, like they couldn't catch

294
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: I mean, big long strides. I mean he's six foot four,

295
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: two hundred and sixteen pounds. I mean, once you start

296
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 3: getting those six foot strides going leg over leg, forget it,

297
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: you're not catching that guy. YEA, so really happy for him,

298
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: and he got a game ball after the game, because look,

299
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: this is one of those guys that has busted his

300
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: tail on the practice squad the last two three years now,

301
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: and you know, he finally gets an elevation, finally gets

302
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: some run at the end of the game, and good

303
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 3: for him, man, get in the touch That was happy

304
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: for that guy, So that was good to see. And

305
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: then Joe andreeson on the other side of the ball.

306
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: He plays a quarter and a half. He ends up

307
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: the team's leading tackler with eight tackles.

308
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 8: Buffalo Joe Man, let's go a lot of fun yesterday,

309
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 8: and it's we were talking because of the game last

310
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 8: week against the Patriots and the slow start the team

311
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 8: got out to everybody was like, ah, you know, you know,

312
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 8: you're kind of sitting there wringing your hands a little

313
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 8: bit about how this game was gonna go get started.

314
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 8: You figured the Bills are the better team, no question.

315
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 8: And I say, it's never winning in this league is hard.

316
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 8: I don't care. It's forty to nothing early in the third,

317
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 8: but it's never easy until it's over and you look

318
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 8: back and you say, wow, that was easy, Then it's easy.

319
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 8: Well right right, it's like, oh, yeah, no problem, it's

320
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 8: never easy. As well as bad as it went for

321
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 8: the for the Jets yesterday, it just didn't seem easy.

322
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 8: It's twelve nothing at half and it didn't and it

323
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 8: was you know, it's not enough. You just didn't feel

324
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 8: like you were out in front enough. Right, they come back,

325
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 8: get the ball out of halftime, come out and it's

326
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 8: nineteen to nothing. Then you started thinking, okay, now I

327
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 8: feel a little better.

328
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 3: It went from twelve to thirty three nothing.

329
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 8: Quick, very quick. This is because of the turnovers. Yeah,

330
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 8: the turnovers got him off the field, and you know,

331
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 8: then you're throwing touchdowns and Cooper's jumping over people, Keon's

332
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 8: jumping over people, and it's like, wow, that's we're doing good.

333
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: And that's another element of the team that if you

334
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: think about it, his team's hanging thirty burgers on people

335
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 3: almost every week and they still haven't fully tapped into

336
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 3: Cooper and Coleman. Right, it might be your two most

337
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 3: not physically imposing receivers on the roster, maybe with the

338
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: exception of Hollins, who's done a nice job this year

339
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: as well.

340
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll tell you this about Keon. You know, he

341
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 8: came out and he had Josh tried to get him

342
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 8: one on a scramble and he was coming back hard

343
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 8: and had some guys hanging on him. The ball went

344
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 8: through Keon's hands. He felt like, you should have caught it.

345
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 8: I thought it was gonna be a really good catch.

346
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 8: But you know, on replay from a different angle, it's like, well, yeah,

347
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 8: he probably should have caught it, and he knows it.

348
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 8: Then there was one on a slant where the ball

349
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 8: came out and tumble. It got tipped right with Josh. Yeah,

350
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 8: and as a receiver, that's really hard. So he dropped

351
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 8: that one too, and you're thinking, oh, okay. Then he

352
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 8: had a long pass. It was called back that he

353
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 8: actually caught anything. Why it's gonna be one of those days.

354
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 8: And then you know he has the touchdown. I love

355
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 8: the and maybe he doesn't feel the way it looks

356
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 8: like he feels. But he did not care about all

357
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 8: the bad stuff that had happened. Did not care. Give

358
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 8: me the ball.

359
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 10: Oh.

360
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 8: He had the one against Sauce Gardner in the corner

361
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 8: of the end zone. Early Josh threw it too low

362
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 8: on a jump on a jump ball like this, not

363
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 8: like this one where he goes up and gets it.

364
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 8: But over there on the same end of the fields,

365
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 8: he caught the touchdown on the far side. He had

366
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 8: an early kind of go up and get it ball

367
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 8: from Josh. It wasn't high enough, so all that stuff

368
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 8: was going against him, but he's got that airbody. He

369
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 8: just didn't care. Just give me throw me the ball,

370
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 8: Let's go. I love that about him as a young player.

371
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 8: He caught that and stared down the guy. He nobody

372
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 8: even touched him when he went up to get it.

373
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 8: Loved the way he played and bounced back what looked

374
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 8: like for a young guy, was gonna be a tough day,

375
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 8: you know, a couple of drops, a couple of bad

376
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 8: things that me and he did not care. Let's go.

377
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 8: And I love that about him for a young player.

378
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: In case you were living under a rock, Buffalo's game

379
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 3: this week, which was a TBD game, has been set

380
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: Sunday one pm at Gillette Stadium against the Patriots, So

381
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 3: regular Sunday one o'clock game for week eighteen, and we'll

382
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 3: wait and see what coach McDermott and his staff decide

383
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: in terms of who's playing and how much or if

384
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: at all. I would imagine some starters will probably sit,

385
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 3: or if they do play, we'll play a series and

386
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: then get out, kind of like we used to see

387
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 3: in the old fourth preseason games, play a series, get out.

388
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 3: I think we might see some of that this week,

389
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: but we'll wait and see what the official word is

390
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 3: from coach McDermott on that.

391
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 8: Here's the thing, though. You go in there and if

392
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 8: Josh is gonna start, take a couple of snaps or

393
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 8: a series and then get off. What happens if the

394
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 8: word in trubisky Nick gets nicked when Josh you got

395
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 8: to go back in. You know that's a risk you run.

396
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: Wouldn't be surprised if they elevate Mike White this week?

397
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, give him a reward and say hey, we

398
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 8: like it done to help them, you came back and

399
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 8: sit Josh down. Maybe I get it, and I don't

400
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 8: have a problem with any of that. Josh has got

401
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 8: some streaks that are a little bit of a of

402
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 8: a consideration. Maybe they know they want Josh to get

403
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 8: the consecutive starts record for the team or something like that.

404
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 8: I can I can see there's a little bit of

405
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 8: that in there. I understand it, and Josh understands it too.

406
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 8: But you know, he's no, he's no, you know, not

407
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 8: unaware of how important he is to their playoff run.

408
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 8: So there's a lot in this. And I'm sure we're

409
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 8: gonna take a lot of calls this week with people

410
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 8: if you're all gonna have your own opinions about what

411
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 8: it should happen. And you know, maybe Josh doesn't he

412
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 8: make the trip for some of you, right, I mean,

413
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,959
Speaker 8: just keep him home, let him curl up on the

414
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 8: couch with a with a cup of hot chocolate and

415
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 8: watch the game on TV. I doubt that will happen,

416
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 8: but that you know, that's kind of what we're talking about.

417
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 3: That's right. We also know Buffalo's opponents for the twenty

418
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: twenty five season. They are now set. The home slate

419
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 3: looks like this, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Kansas City, New Orleans, Philadelphia,

420
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay, and the New England, Miami and the Jets.

421
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 3: The awaye slate looks like this Atlanta, Carolina, Cleveland, Houston, Pittsburgh,

422
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: New England, Miami and the Jets. So the home slate

423
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: considerably tougher.

424
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 8: Ye, if you project this year onto next year, they

425
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 8: could go eight to no on the road and home

426
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 8: is going to be the rough spot. Yeah, they got

427
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 8: some guys coming in. They got Philly, Kansas City, Tampa Bay, Cincinnati,

428
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 8: Baltimore all coming in. That's outside of the division.

429
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 3: And I would say there's a good chance that one

430
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 3: of those home games goes overseas.

431
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 8: Ooh, yep, No, man, come on.

432
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 3: They have the extra home game and one of those

433
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 3: could go over seas. You hear the league they're talking

434
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 3: about playing sixteen games over there. That's all thirty two teams.

435
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 3: So I think they've only committed to eight so far.

436
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 8: Though I'm not a fright now, I get it. See

437
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 8: if it changes between people want to see people want

438
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 8: to see this crew, people want to see these people play.

439
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 8: And if and you know, if your hopes and dreams,

440
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 8: if your hopes and dreams come true, and you know

441
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 8: your world champions at all, this nobody you know, people

442
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 8: they want to send you out as ambassadors. Right, So

443
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 8: it'll be YEA and all those teams on the home

444
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 8: schedule next year. I mean there's Big six for me

445
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 8: right now, it's Baltimore, Buffalo, Kansas City, and then it's Philly, Detroit,

446
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 8: Minnesota on the other side. Right, maybe Green Bay gets

447
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 8: into that group. But you know, whoever wins the whole

448
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 8: thing out of they're gonna want to send them out overseas,

449
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 8: right maybe.

450
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: I mean in many cases they've been sending dog games

451
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: over there. As a matter of fact, there's criticism that

452
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: you know, the games that are going over there aren't

453
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: exactly barn Burners. There have been some that have been good, yeah,

454
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 3: good matchups, but there have been others that have been like,

455
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 3: oh boy, really I get it. So we'll see if

456
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 3: that changes too. Time to go around the NFL presented

457
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 3: by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills,

458
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: and we will get to your phone calls as we're

459
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 3: looking for your biggest takeaways from yesterday's win over the Jets.

460
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 3: But in addition to the Bills locking up the two

461
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 3: seed in the AFC, the Eagles did the same in

462
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 3: the NFC, with Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee splitting duty

463
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 3: at quarterback after Pickett left with a cracked rib and

464
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: a forty one seven went over the Cowboys. Running Back

465
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley also reached the two thousand yard rushing mark

466
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 3: in the win. He is now one hundred and one

467
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: rushing yards away from Eric Dickerson's all time single season

468
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 3: rushing record.

469
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've talked about Eric Dickerson a little bit on

470
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 8: the show over the years. He is one of the

471
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 8: handful of guys that during my career, when you come

472
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 8: in the league, and I always use this word, this

473
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 8: phrase when you hear NFL players who played against the dude.

474
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 8: When you hear them talk about him in whispers, that's

475
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 8: another level. When they whisper about you should have seen

476
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 8: what he did the other we were watching and then

477
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 8: we were playing against him in nineteen eighty five and

478
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 8: they talk in low whispers. There's only a handful of

479
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 8: guys that got people did that about Eric Dickerson was

480
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 8: one in that nineteen eighty five I think season or

481
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 8: eighty four season when it was they talk about the

482
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 8: way he played in that season and they used hush

483
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 8: tones about it, and it was I'll never forget it.

484
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 8: So kudos to him and Saquon too for getting close

485
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 8: to it.

486
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 3: The Minnesota Vikings have moved ahead of the Detroit Lions

487
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: for the top spot in the NFC North and the

488
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 3: NFC Conference for now with their victory over Green Bayis

489
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 3: Day twenty seven, twenty five. That was an entertaining game.

490
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 3: The reason they're ahead of them right now is because

491
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: Detroit plays the forty nine ers tonight in San Francisco.

492
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: They need to win tonight and then play Minnesota in

493
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 3: Week eighteen, potentially for all the marbles, and that game

494
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: is in Detroit on Sunday Night football.

495
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 8: So I thought there was no. Oh, it's in week eighteen.

496
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: Sunday night, not Monday night Sunday Night football.

497
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 8: There's a Sunday night fall.

498
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 3: Oh there, we played. We played in the Sunday night

499
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: game last year.

500
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 8: Well I know, but I didn't. I don't know if

501
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 8: this they changed this week team man, Okay, So yeah,

502
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 8: so there's a Sunday Detroit has.

503
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 3: To win tonight to move to fourteen and two, and

504
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 3: then they're ahead of Minnesota a tiebreaker, having won the

505
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 3: first meeting between them, and so Minnesota would have to

506
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: beat them, and then I think Minnesota could then take

507
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 3: the division and the top spot in the conference based

508
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 3: on all the tiebreakers. So, I mean, you want to

509
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 3: talk about all it's not just the division like the Bills.

510
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: We're trying to walk down the Dolphins last year in

511
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: Week eighteen Sunday Night football to win the division and

512
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 3: get the two seed. This is for the top seed

513
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 3: in the conference and the division.

514
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 8: You go from one to five.

515
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you go on the road for your first

516
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: playoff game. If you lose that game and week wow,

517
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: I mean that's a that's a big swing.

518
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 8: It is, and it's awesome though. I mean, that's you know,

519
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 8: we you know, we always make fun of the NFL.

520
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 8: The referees aren't good enough, and yeah, ayaan and they

521
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 8: give you know, they're giving games to Europe and the

522
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 8: neck Lam. But I'll tell you this, man, every once

523
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 8: in a while, the league comes through for you. They

524
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 8: get it Minnesota Detroit on the Sunday Night Football Week eighteen,

525
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 8: fourteen and two, what could be fourteen to two, fourteen

526
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 8: to two. Let's go every once in a while that

527
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 8: they give you one of those like Bills, Kansas City,

528
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 8: Let's go Bills, Detroit, Let's.

529
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 3: Go Detroit winnington would basic let's go out set the

530
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 3: table for that.

531
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 8: That's awesome.

532
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: So so that one could be a doozy, you know,

533
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 3: depending on what Detroit does tonight. Hopefully they beat San

534
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: Francisco and it sets the stage for that game. The

535
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 3: Rams clinched the NFC West with a thirteen to nine

536
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 3: win over Arizona after the Bills played the Rams. I

537
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 3: believe once Steve Taskers said the Rams are going to

538
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 3: win that division. In fact, have come through for Steve twice.

539
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 8: I was arrested.

540
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: Steve is on a roll Tampa Bay can clinch the

541
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: NFC South with a win Sunday against New Orleans. They

542
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 3: got some help from Washington, who beat Atlanta on Sunday

543
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 3: Night Football last night. And Baker Mayfield is dealing three

544
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty nine yards and five touchdowns no picks

545
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 3: in the win yesterday. Uh he was a machine in

546
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 3: that passing game. AFC playoff pictures still has some moving parts.

547
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: As we told you, Chiefs are the one, Bills are

548
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 3: the two. Houston's locked into the four seat, but Baltimore

549
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 3: and Pittsburgh can still flip flop between the three in

550
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: the five. Pittsburgh in some cases, as we said, could

551
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: even slip to the sixth seed. Miami and Cincinnati is

552
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: still alive, but they need help. Denver is in a

553
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: win and in scenario this weekend when they host the

554
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: Chiefs backups and basically Miami needs to win against the

555
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: Jets and have Denver lose. Cincinnati needs to win and

556
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: needs both Denver and Miami to lose if they are

557
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 3: to be the seventh seed on the AFC side of

558
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: the Ledger final note. Jets coaching search now has official candidates.

559
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: NFL networks Tom Pellisero reporting that the Jets are scheduled

560
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 3: to interview Ron Rivera for their head coaching job this week.

561
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 3: According to sources, thirteen seasons with Carolina and Washington, Rivera

562
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: made the playoffs five times, including appearance in Super Bowl

563
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 3: fifty back in twenty fifteen. I'm a little perplexed by this, Steve,

564
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 3: because they also don't have a GM. Are they going

565
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: to hire the head coach first and then the GM?

566
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: Like that's not usually the way you prefer to do it.

567
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: They fired both.

568
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 8: I don't know they could, but I doubt. I think

569
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 8: what they'll probably do is in the in the big

570
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 8: scheme of things, they're not going to hire the GM

571
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 8: until Mike Tannenbaum knows he can't finago Woody Johnson to

572
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 8: hire him again. So all of that's in there too,

573
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 8: you know, Mike Tannenbaum and the Jets who's been hired

574
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 8: back to help them find a new GM in the

575
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 8: And it's as it's got to be, as awkward as

576
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 8: it sounds, it's still I know the Jets are you know,

577
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 8: they they're getting dragged all over the place now because

578
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 8: of how the season's gone and Aaron Rodgers and the

579
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 8: owner and the bad story the hit jobs that have

580
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 8: been written about them and the unnamed sources within the

581
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 8: building of just dragged them.

582
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 3: Players.

583
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 8: Nevertheless, being the GM of an NFL franchise is still

584
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 8: a coveted position and there will be guys standing in

585
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 8: line to do it, even guys who you would think

586
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 8: have no shot at it will get in line.

587
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: So let's just not forget what GM Joe Douglas told

588
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 3: one of his fellow co workers he was answering to

589
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 3: a team and quote, I answer to a teenager?

590
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, meaning one reference to no he was talking about

591
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 8: would he Oh, I thought he was talking about one

592
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 8: of them?

593
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, does I answer to a teenager?

594
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 10: All right?

595
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 8: Well, anyway, so even with the perceived dysfunction, uh, you

596
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 8: could probably get some ideas about because if Ron Rivera

597
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 8: is considered for a head coach, they'll probably ask him

598
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 8: what what would be a great relationship for you with

599
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 8: a GM, What kind of relationship would you want with

600
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 8: a future GM, And then you would match and mix

601
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 8: and match candidates from both those jobs into whatever head

602
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 8: coach begins to filter to the top of the list. So, yeah,

603
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 8: you can have the interview process go both ways. You

604
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 8: and I both sat here for two years thinking, man,

605
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 8: the Jets have kind of got it together at their roster.

606
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 8: They're doing pretty good. Their draft is good, and we

607
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 8: always made fun of you know, we said that. You know,

608
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 8: we're missing holidays by not being able to make fun

609
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 8: of the Jets draft because they actually did a good

610
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 8: job a couple of years in a row.

611
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, the problem is they still don't develop players.

612
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 8: There, you go, that's a different problem. That's a different problem.

613
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 3: So we'll see if they can figure it out. That's

614
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 3: around the NFL presented by Kalida Health. Got to take

615
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: a break here. When we come back your phone calls,

616
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 3: we want your biggest takeaways from the Bills resounding win

00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: on the season with one to play. Eight h three

619
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 3: oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five

620
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: fifty those are the numbers to join us. Got open

Speaker 3: lines for you, so let us hear from you next

622
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 3: here on one Bills Live on a Buffalo victory Monday.

623
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 3: Back to pass, has time, rolling to his right, trying

624
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 3: to buy time, leaves it.

625
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 5: Back across the field looking for.

626
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 4: Ty Johnson and going up and pulling it down off

627
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 4: the roof was keyon Colvin for the touchdown.

628
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,360

00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: order for the game this week. Just a quick update.

634
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: I was talking about the Lions on Monday night. They

635
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 3: don't have to win, but the Lions visit the Niners,

636
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 3: as we said, and if they win, they have to

637
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 3: beat the Vikings again or tie Detroit. As we know

638
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 3: and told you beat Minnesota earlier this season, back in

639
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: Week seven. If they lose or tie tonight, they absolutely

640
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 3: have to beat the Vikings, so people believe, Well, there's

641
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 3: really no difference because the ties get taken out if

642
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 3: they win tonight against the Niners. So they don't absolutely

643
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 3: have to win tonight. They can still just win in

644
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 3: Week eighteen and still beat out the Vikings by virtue

645
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 3: of a head to head sweep. So just wanted to

646
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 3: update you so you knew every possible detailed scenario there.

647
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 3: So that is that. But we do have to get

648
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: to the phones at eight h three zero five point

649
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

650
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 3: as we want your biggest takeaways from yesterday's bludgeoning of

651
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 3: the Jets by the Bills, final score forty to fourteen.

652
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: It's the most lopsided loss for the Jets this season.

653
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers has also set a single season career high

654
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 3: in interceptions, and he also became the most sacked quarterback

655
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 3: in NFL history after he got taken down three times yesterday.

656
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 6: That was.

657
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 8: It was a rough day for Aaron Rodgers. Zero touchdowns,

658
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 8: two interceptions, took a safety, and set the all time

659
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 8: sack record against and got a and drew an unsports

660
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 8: personal foul penalty for unnecessary roughness after trying to tackle

661
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 8: Christian Benford on an after the interception. It was rough

662
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 8: day for him by any by any measure, and he's

663
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 8: struggled in that stadium is he has struggled.

664
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 3: Himark Stadium is a house of horrors for one Aaron Rodgers.

665
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: My son, who was at the game yesterday, reminded me

666
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: of one of the previous games in which Rogers played

667
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 3: here back during the Moron era. Bills Packers come in

668
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 3: late in the season and Aaron Rodgers and the Packers lose.

669
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: There was a safety in that game as well. Eddie Lacy,

670
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 3: the running back was tackled in the end zone. I

671
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 3: want to say it was Mario Williams that got him

672
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 3: there and the Bills beat the Packers. Rogers had a

673
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: couple of interceptions in that game. That is the Bakari

674
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: Rambo games, dude, in which Bakari Rambo picked off Aaron

675
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 3: Rodgers twice. In the game, Rodgers did not throw a

676
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 3: touchdown pass and had a thirty four point three passer rating. Yesterday,

677
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 3: his passer rating was one point two. That is not

678
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 3: a That is not a typo if you saw it

679
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: on the stat sheet, one point two.

680
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 8: And certainly, I mean it didn't look any better when

681
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 8: Tyrod came in and threw two interceptions. Everybody was different

682
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 8: on the it was two different teams on the field,

683
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 8: you know, late in that game. But I could not

684
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 8: believe when I looked up with twelve minutes to go

685
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 8: in the game and it's forty to nothing. That is

686
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 8: a bad loss. That is a bad loss by any measure. Yeah,

687
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 8: that's I don't know how far into the corners you

688
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 8: go to sweep that building, but I think you're going

689
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 8: to go pretty deep.

690
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. That is the lowest passer rating for a quarterback

691
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 3: in a game since Davis Mills zero point eight passer

692
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: rating back on October thirty, twenty twenty one, right here

693
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 3: at high Mark Stadium in affording to nothing lost to

694
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 3: the Bills in twenty twenty one. So the too lowest

695
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 3: passer ratings in the last four years have come against

696
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 3: Buffalo's defense. But let's go to the phones. At eight

697
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 3: h three ZHO five fifty one eighty eight, five fifty two,

698
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: five point fifty, we lead off with Cindy and Niagara Falls.

699
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 3: What do you got for Cindy?

700
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 11: Hi, guys, hope you had a blessed Christmas and you'll

701
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 11: have a blessed New Year. Thank you, Thank you, You're welcome.

702
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 11: My husband and I have a question, is this something

703
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 11: we've never known? How do they choose the lineup of

704
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 11: who the Bills are playing for twenty twenty five and

705
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 11: how they choose to the Kansas City Chiefs they're playing,

706
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 11: or the Jets or any of the teams. Thank you?

707
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, it's a rotational schedule in the NFL, And

708
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 3: for example, the AFC East teams this year played the

709
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 3: AFC South and they played the NFC West, so they

710
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 3: play all eight of those teams. It's because they play

711
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 3: those two divisions, one in their own conference, one in

712
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 3: the other conference. Then they play the other teams in

713
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 3: the other AFC divisions that finished in the same place

714
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 3: that they did the previous season. So the Bills won

715
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 3: the division last year, finished in first place, so that

716
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 3: means they will play the first place team in the

717
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 3: AFC North this year, and the first place team in

718
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 3: the AFC West, and the first place team in Oh no,

719
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 3: that's it, because you're playing the youre already playing the

720
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 3: AFC South, so you're playing Houston and all of those teams.

721
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 3: And then they played Kansas City and Baltimore who won

722
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 3: their divisions last year, so you're gonna do the same

723
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 3: thing this year. Kansas City won their division, Bills won

724
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 3: their division. You're playing a first place schedule.

725
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 8: Now.

726
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: The reason you're playing the entire AFC North is because

727
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 3: that's the division you play next year. The Bills next

728
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: year will play the AFC North and the NFC South,

729
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 3: So they'll play all four teams from those two divisions.

730
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: Then they will play the first place team from the

731
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 3: AFC West, and they will play the first place team

732
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 3: from the AFC South, which is Houston. So they play

733
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,479
Speaker 3: Kansas City in Houston, and they look to see where

734
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 3: did those two teams play last year? So Kansas City

735
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 3: played here last year, so they'll rotate that or a second. No,

736
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 3: they don't play.

737
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 8: They're playing them here again. I don't know why they're

738
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 8: here and not there, but.

739
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 3: I gotta check that part. But basically, you play a

740
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 3: division from the other conference, you play a division in

741
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: your conference. You obviously play your own division games home

742
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 3: and away. That's six games there, and then you play

743
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 3: the two teams that finished in the same place division

744
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: wise in terms of first place, second place, third place,

745
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 3: or fourth place. So the Bills play the two first

746
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 3: place teams from the other two divisions in their conference

747
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 3: that's not the AFC North next year. And then you

748
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 3: have a cross conference game that you now play as

749
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 3: your seventeenth game, and that also has to be a

750
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 3: team that finished in a first place position. Since the

751
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 3: Bill's finished in first place, the Bills draw the NFC

752
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 3: East team that finishes first, that's the Eagles. So hopefully

753
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 3: that helps explain.

754
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 8: That, right, it's there's a lot of it makes sense

755
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 8: when you kind of walk through it, but to say

756
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 8: it like Brownie did.

757
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 3: It's I convoluted.

758
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 8: It's hard. It's hard to step through it step by step.

759
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 8: But it's rotates, you know, Like even now, you'll know

760
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 8: a good portion of the parameters for twenty twenty six,

761
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 8: but you won't know exactly which teams to finish in

762
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 8: this You know the left because you don't know who's

763
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 8: finishing first, second, third, and fourth, which will match you

764
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 8: up with those teams in the other conferences. So are

765
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 8: the other divisions and other conferences. So that's that's the

766
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 8: only thing you don't know. And even now, we don't

767
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 8: know what you know one weeks one through eighteen, where

768
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 8: your byfalls. How early are you going to play some

769
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 8: of these teams are when they fall in the schedule.

770
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 8: The schedule is you know the date and time of

771
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 8: the game. We don't know that we know where they're

772
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 8: going to play and who they're going to play. We

773
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 8: just don't know when. And that's that happens in April

774
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 8: or something.

775
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 3: Yep, let's squeeze, Judy and buffalo in here. Judy, what

776
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 3: do you got first? You're on one Bill's Live.

777
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 12: You know I'm watching the day yesterday. You know it

778
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 12: was easy. I was thrilled with everything that was going on.

779
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 12: And then late in the game, Trubisky and Shavers teamed

780
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 12: up for a thing that the Bills are interetous for.

781
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 12: They cannot complete a simple pass like this, and I'm wondering, now,

782
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 12: can something come out of this? I would like to

783
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 12: see more of these plays with the screen passes. We

784
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 12: have not been able to complete them. Yes, that was

785
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 12: absolutely stunned by the fact that that quay came off

786
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 12: so easily.

787
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, to go the distance, it was unusual. I'm not

788
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 3: gonna lie, Judy. But the Bills have used tunnel screens

789
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 3: like this successfully with Shakir, not for touchdowns, as you indicated,

790
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 3: but for a good positive yardage, first down, you know,

791
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. And against in their last home

792
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 3: game against the Patriots, they actually ran some traditional screens

793
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: with running backs with some success, and those are the

794
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 3: plays that they have had trouble with.

795
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 8: They also ran the screens against the La Rams a

796
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 8: couple of times, and I think with Ty Johnson or

797
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 8: maybe it's great, yes, Ty Johnson.

798
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got a forty one yard touchdo Yeah.

799
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 8: He snapped off anice long run too. You're right, we've

800
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 8: long lamented the absence of the screen passes in the offense.

801
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 8: They kind of sprinkled it back in this year.

802
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Part of the problem is because a lot of

803
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 3: teams put a spy on Josh and with that extra

804
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 3: defender floating around with a second level, it's hard to

805
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 3: execute a screen and get everybody blocked up because that

806
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 3: guy is covering Josh as a spy, and then once

807
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 3: he throws it to the screen receiver, now that spy

808
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 3: can go get the guy with the ball.

809
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 8: They got an extra guy in They have an extra.

810
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 3: Guy in there that's unaccounted for blocking wise, and that's

811
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 3: why it's been a persistent problem for the Bills to

812
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 3: run screen successfully. But they have found a way to

813
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 3: scheme it up and be more successful. So you got

814
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 3: to tip your hat to Joe Brady on that one.

815
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 9: Well.

816
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, plus, surprisingly they didn't spy Mitch Trubisky.

817
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 3: Correct, So there you go. That's a good point. Yes,

818
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 3: an even better point. I got to take a break here,

819
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 3: but we come back We'll lead off with Elmer in

820
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 3: Rochester and other holding at eighth three zero five to fifty.

821
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 3: So stay right where you are more your phone calls.

Speaker 3: Gambling problem called one eight seven seven eight. Hope and

828
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,480

00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:40,959
Speaker 3: with five consecutive forty plus touchdown seasons. Best. Bill set

830
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 3: team records for total touchdowns in a season sixty three

831
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 3: and points scored five hundred and nine in a season.

832
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 3: Bill's tied the NFL record for players to catch a

833
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 3: touchdown thirteen thanks to the Shaver's touchdown at the end

834
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 3: of the game, and the Bills went undefeated at home

835
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 3: for the first time since the nineteen nine season. Congratulations

836
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 3: on all those fronts for the Bills. We have to

837
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 3: get back to the phones though. At eight oh three

838
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 3: h five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two

839
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 3: five fifty the number to get on board as we

840
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 3: want your biggest takeaways from yesterday's blowout win over the Jets,

841
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 3: and to Elmer in Rochester, we go, what's up, Eller.

842
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 10: Hey, guys? A two part question. First of all, just

843
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 10: run down really fast going into the final week of

844
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 10: the seasons, the final week of the season. What the

845
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 10: Broncos or Dolphins need to do the scenario, what's gonna happen.

846
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 10: I don't want to see Miami because I don't want

847
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 10: a sixty one yarder to have to beat those dudes. Okay,

848
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 10: that's a little scary to me. Number two, be brutally honest,

849
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 10: is Aaron Rodgers' career over? Because if I'm the Jets,

850
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 10: I gotta go to the draft and find my dude.

851
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 8: Yeah.

852
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 3: I would say the big question in New York about

853
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 3: Rogers is whether he'll be released by the Jets or

854
00:45:55,239 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 3: kept around to mentor the next quarterback they draft. I

855
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 3: just don't see him as the mentoring type. But that's

856
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 3: a decision the Jets have to make. As for the

857
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 3: teams here in week eighteen, Denver's got the easiest path

858
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 3: beat the Chiefs, presumably their backups in Denver this weekend.

859
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 3: They're in the playoffs as the seventh seed. If they

860
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 3: lose and the Dolphins beat the Jets, the Dolphins are

861
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 3: in as the seventh seed. Cincinnati needs to win this

862
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 3: weekend and needs both the Dolphins and the Broncos to

863
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 3: lose to become the seventh seed themselves. That's the simplest

864
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 3: way to kind of lay out the seven seed scenarios.

865
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 8: And Aaron Rodgers, what I would anticipate is probably having

866
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 8: him be he has a bonus coming at the end

867
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 8: of the season or just before the end of the

868
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 8: league year that will be It's like twenty five million dollars.

869
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 8: There's no way I believe the Jets are going to

870
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 8: pay that.

871
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 3: It's in March.

872
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 8: I think, yeah, it's in March, so I believe they

873
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 8: will release him before that bonuses due, but they will

874
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 8: release him telling him we would love to have you

875
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 8: back at a lower number. Now, if you want, go

876
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 8: out and be a free agent, and when you're ready,

877
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 8: here's our offer to you. If you want to accept it,

878
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 8: here it is. If not, good luck to you, Thanks

879
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 8: for your help. That's kind of the way I see

880
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 8: it happening with Aaron, and there may be another team

881
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 8: out there, because there's always at least a handful of

882
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 8: teams who need a guy. Now Aaron Rodgers is you

883
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 8: can say he's not a guy. He's a Hall of

884
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 8: Fame guy. I don't know that he's playing. He's not

885
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 8: playing at that level as we saw yesterday, but he's

886
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 8: still pretty you know, he's not the worst guy in

887
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 8: the league, right, I mean, you could even see so

888
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 8: he could be a bridge quarterback somewhere. But Brownie's right,

889
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 8: I don't know that he's a mentor kind of guy.

890
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 8: In fact, I was thinking about as Brownie said that,

891
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 8: I think Tyrod would be a better mentor guy yes

892
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 8: than Aaron. So because Tyrod could play, he'd give you

893
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 8: eight or ten games this in a season and then

894
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 8: get handed over to the guy late in the second

895
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 8: half of the season. Let him play the way they've

896
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 8: done in Atlanta with Pennix. So all that is on

897
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 8: the table for Aaron. I don't think he may not

898
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 8: be a jet I don't think. I think if he

899
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 8: wants to badly enough, he can find a place to

900
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 8: play next year. It may be in New York, but

901
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 8: it'll be a different number than he's on under contract

902
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 8: for now, and that's the way I see it. I

903
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,439
Speaker 8: still think he's got football left in him, but he's

904
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 8: not an MVP guy anymore.

905
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 3: No, let's squeeze in Ryan and Toronto here before the break.

906
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 3: What do you got for us?

907
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 13: Ryan, Chris Steve, Happy Monday, guy? Have you winning Monday? Honestly, guys,

908
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 13: I know you gotta talk over the Jets house the

909
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 13: laughing stock. To be honest, they are a lapping stock

910
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 13: in the NFL, especially the NFC Easf's one of the

911
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 13: laughing stock in the NFC East, the New York joint.

912
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 13: What were you thinking beating the courts and throwing six touchdowns.

913
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 13: I'm surprised Dable and Doshane still have a job and

914
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 13: to be honest that way against the court yesterday. Now

915
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 13: put the Patriots in the number one all draft pick

916
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 13: for number one number one draft pick. Now next week,

917
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 13: Buffalo peace, the Patriots. Patriots might even rest j Pres

918
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 13: and they want to go for number one, number one

919
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 13: draft picks. So I got nothing to worry about at all.

920
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 13: I think it's a good thing for the Bills. I'm

921
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 13: really the Able leaders. I don't know, so I want

922
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 13: to talk to on this.

923
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, hard to say. I mean the Giants are trying

924
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,479
Speaker 3: to end what was like a ten game losing streak. Uh,

925
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,479
Speaker 3: and they were able to do it. You know, Drew

926
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 3: Locke had a day. I think he had five total

927
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 3: touchdowns Drew lock yesterday and then win over the Colts.

928
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 3: To me, the team that looks the worst out of

929
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 3: the whole thing is the Colts. I mean, they have

930
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 3: a chance to stay alive in the AFC playoff race

931
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 3: yesterday and they find themselves down by more than two

932
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 3: touchdowns to a team that lost ten in a row

933
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 3: coming into the game and then try to climb their

934
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 3: way back in and ultimately lose. Anyway, that's the team

935
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 3: that looks bad. I mean, as for the Patriots, if

936
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 3: they have the number one pick, I don't know, that's

937
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 3: a terrible thing because they're not drafting a quarterback, right

938
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 3: they have their quarterback. To me, the Patriots in the

939
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 3: one spot, they're in the catbird seat because then they

940
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,439
Speaker 3: could trade that pick and get too high first round

941
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 3: draft chores three maybe.

942
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 8: Three Yeah, Yeah, I think the Patriots they may I

943
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 8: heard maybe they'll sit Drake May.

944
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might play Joe Milton, their other rookie.

945
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 8: Quarterback right and so the which is fine. But I'll

946
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,720
Speaker 8: say this about the New York Giants. You know what

947
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 8: the what were they doing? You're never gonna, never gonna

948
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 8: get a black mark on your record as Brian Daboll

949
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 8: and Joe Shane for winning. Even if it drops you

950
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 8: in the draft process and they do need a quarterble,

951
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 8: you can say you can you can say that. You know,

952
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 8: fans understand it. It's it's it knocks their ability to

953
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 8: get better in the future. It is taboo to openly

954
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 8: throw games in the NFL, and you will your organization

955
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 8: will be forever tarnished by it. Because I'll say this,

956
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 8: player when push comes to cheven, when you sit back

957
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 8: and think about it, players are gonna go. You're talking

958
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 8: about injuries like like Kevin Everett and Damar Hamlin and

959
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 8: Kirk Cousins and Joe Thaisman. You go back over all

960
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 8: the horrific injuries you've seen over the years. You're asking

961
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 8: guys to go out there and risk that every single

962
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 8: play and to have the go out and not try

963
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 8: and win. Nobody wants to play for an organization like that.

964
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 8: That's why if they do try and do that is

965
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 8: it is they make the decisions at the ownership level

966
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 8: and then tell everybody they better win, even if they

967
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 8: don't expect them to and don't want them to. It's

968
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 8: just a taboo thing. So the Giants are not gonna.

969
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,240
Speaker 8: Brian Dabole and Joe Shane don't get any black marks

970
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 8: for winning ever.

971
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 3: Break time for us here when we return Hour number two,

972
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 3: We'll begin with my broadcast partner on the Bills Radio Network.

973
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 3: Eric Wood, joins us for his thoughts on the Bills

974
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 3: forty to fourteen, went over the Jets and the look

975
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 3: ahead as to how to play Week eighteen against the

976
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 3: Patriots with nothing to gain in playoff seating. We catch

977
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 3: up with him next year on One Bills Live presented

978
00:52:44,920 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 3: by Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

979
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by Callida Health.

980
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 3: All Right, Hour number two on a Buffalo victory Monday,

981
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 3: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and joined now by

982
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,439
Speaker 3: Bill's Radio network color analyst and former Pro Bowl Center

983
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 3: for the Bills, host of the Centered on Buffalo podcast.

984
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 3: It's Eric Wood joining us as he does after every

985
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 3: Bill's game, and uh, Eric, I think maybe the craziest

986
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 3: part of the game yesterday was how quickly it went

987
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 3: from twelve nothing to like thirty three nothing in a

988
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 3: matter of minutes. And it was due largely to the takeaways, obviously,

989
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 3: But to see the Bills blow that game open, I

990
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 3: think kind of reminded us of the firepower of this

991
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 3: Buffalo's Bills offense.

992
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 9: Yeah.

993
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 14: Absolutely, Yes, the turnovers play a factor, and that's played

994
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 14: a factor in the reason that the Bills set a

995
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 14: team record in points scored this season because of the

996
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 14: raid a league leading what is it now, thirty one

997
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 14: turnovers something like that, twenty nine to thirty one.

998
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 9: And so when you leave the.

999
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 14: League and taking the ball away a lot of times

1000
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 14: it's gonna help your offense. You add a potent offense

1001
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 14: to it, and the Bills can put it on.

1002
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 9: You in a hurry. In these games at.

1003
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 14: Times this year have gotten away from teams quickly because

1004
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 14: the Bills will score, they play good situational football, and

1005
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 14: then all of a sudden, here comes the offense again

1006
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,919
Speaker 14: after a turnover, and boom, now the game just turned

1007
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 14: into a four score game. When you know, minutes ago

1008
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 14: you had the ball and you were down two scores. So, yes,

1009
00:54:55,880 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 14: this is an explosive offense and now fully healthy and

1010
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 14: seeing the types of plays that guys can make one

1011
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 14: on one down the field with Coleman and Cooper doing

1012
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 14: it yesterday, and just all the different ways this offense

1013
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 14: could beat you. I mean, just the ground game when

1014
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 14: the passing game is not quite there or the elements

1015
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 14: maybe have dictated at times this year. I mean these

1016
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 14: last couple of weeks, Josh isn't doing anything running wise

1017
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 14: on the ground and try not take any shots. And

1018
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 14: you know, so that's another element of the game for

1019
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 14: the Spills offense when it gets playoff time, and then

1020
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 14: all the different weapons that they have at their disposal

1021
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 14: in the past game.

1022
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 9: It's fun to watch.

1023
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 8: Certainly we saw you know that, you know, the team

1024
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 8: get back to its ways of churning out turnovers defensively,

1025
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 8: how much do you think, if any, can you tell

1026
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 8: that getting some guys healthy in the back end kind

1027
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 8: of aids that.

1028
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, that definitely plays a factor when you're able to

1029
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 14: get a lead on team. That plays a factor where

1030
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 14: you know, you put pressure on a team, Well, you're

1031
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,800
Speaker 14: a double digit favorite yesterday, and so I'm not saying

1032
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 14: that the Jets felt like they came into the game

1033
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 14: from behind. But they did the same thing as they

1034
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 14: did a week ago, where you know they're going to

1035
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 14: be super aggressive on fourth downs in the game where

1036
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 14: they went forward on their first fourth down and the.

1037
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 9: Bills were able to get a stop.

1038
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 14: They were able to force a safety in that game yesterday,

1039
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,959
Speaker 14: which is a product of a punt of a great

1040
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,959
Speaker 14: punt situation in special team. So you know, it takes

1041
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 14: complimentary football in all three phases to beat a team like.

1042
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 9: They did yesterday.

1043
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 14: But yes, I think getting some guys back healthy on

1044
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 14: the defensive side of the ball. I'm not saying someone

1045
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 14: else wouldn't have made that play to go pick up

1046
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 14: that fumble, but Matt Milano has a lot of experience

1047
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 14: in this league and he flies in there, you know,

1048
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 14: like a mad man to go grab that fumble and

1049
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 14: almost put up seven points himself on that when Christian

1050
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 14: Benford came up with his first pick of the season.

1051
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 14: You have an experienced player and Greg Russo who understands

1052
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 14: that Aaron Rodgers isn't just sitting back there with this

1053
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 14: offensive line today. He's gonna get the ball out of

1054
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:58,959
Speaker 14: his hands in quick game or they're gonna run heavy

1055
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,479
Speaker 14: play action to help out their pass protection. So Greg

1056
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 14: gets his hands up and tips the ball straight up

1057
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 14: in the air.

1058
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 3: Let me expand or ask you to elaborate on Milano

1059
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 3: a little bit. We knew yesterday was an important start

1060
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 3: for him coming back from a groin injury, and I

1061
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 3: think it was probably his most impactful game that he's

1062
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 3: had this season. Obviously, we know he missed a good

1063
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 3: portion of the front two thirds of the schedule due

1064
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 3: to the biceps injury, comes back then has the groin injury.

1065
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 3: I thought yesterday was his most impactful game of the season.

1066
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 3: The question for you, Eric is how do you treat

1067
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 3: that as a coaching staff. Did that show you enough

1068
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 3: to say, you know what, let's let him sit and

1069
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 3: ready himself for the postseason, or do we need to

1070
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 3: get him some more reps in light of all the

1071
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 3: reps he has already missed.

1072
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 14: I would lean on trusting Matt Milano in this situation.

1073
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 14: If he wants to go out there and get some

1074
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 14: work this week against New England. Now you can say

1075
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 14: I want to get some workplay one series, because that

1076
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 14: can really compromise you know other guys that want to rest,

1077
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,439
Speaker 14: and you need that guy in uniform on game day

1078
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 14: and so, but I would lean towards letting him say, look,

1079
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 14: I know I haven't played for so much of this season.

1080
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 14: Let me get the extra work at New England this

1081
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 14: week to further get my legs under myself, play my safe,

1082
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 14: myself back in actual football shape.

1083
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 9: Or if he says, look, I'm good to go.

1084
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 14: And I know there's heavy debate right now whether this

1085
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 14: is a better defense with Dorian Williams on the field

1086
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 14: instead of Matt Milano. Not an addition because we saw

1087
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 14: some bass yesterday, but in spite like in place of

1088
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 14: Matt Milano, and the way I lean heading into the playoffs,

1089
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 14: especially into the wild card round, would be to say,

1090
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 14: put fifty eight back out there. He's got two more

1091
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 14: weeks to just keep sharpening his game. And I'm going

1092
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 14: with the former All pro in this situation. And if

1093
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 14: it comes to be a circumstance within the game where

1094
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 14: you know, you say, okay, it's it's time bringing Dorian

1095
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 14: or play a little bit more base, whatever that looks

1096
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 14: like within the game, I'm fine with that. But I

1097
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 14: just feel like we've seen some progression. Unfortunately, the groin

1098
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 14: injury happened. But if man, if you could get him

1099
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 14: back to playing close to how he did prior to

1100
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 14: the injuries, I mean, he might be the best player

1101
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 14: on the defense.

1102
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 8: So you've got, you know, this offense that's playing and

1103
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 8: hanging forty points or at least thirty eight points on

1104
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 8: the Jets. And they scored forty points in three to

1105
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 8: the last four games. And Josh mentioned after the Patriots

1106
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 8: game that they were kind of playing left handed for

1107
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 8: lack of a better word, right, they didn't use all

1108
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 8: their weapons. Did you see some more of that in

1109
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 8: this Jet game or did they kind of open it

1110
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 8: up and say, listen, we want to let's get the

1111
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 8: two seed, take next week off. Did you see a

1112
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 8: little bit more firepower out of the game plan this week?

1113
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 8: Then maybe we were led to believe would be there.

1114
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 14: I saw similar concepts. I probably saw a few more

1115
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 14: crossing routes. Some guys made some more plays down the field. Now,

1116
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 14: it was very windy yesterday, but it was fifty something

1117
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 14: to grease as opposed to a high of fifteen going

1118
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 14: back two weeks ago, which you know that can just add.

1119
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 14: You know that ball gets harder. You know, whether Josh

1120
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 14: is putting the same pace on it guys might not

1121
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 14: be moving as fast out there regardless. You know, other

1122
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 14: things could have contributed to that Patriots game. You also

1123
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 14: had some penalties on the offense side of the ball

1124
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 14: to back you up. And so you know, you put

1125
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 14: this team in a dome the prior two weeks against

1126
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 14: too much more quality teams than the Patriots, and the

1127
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 14: Bills hanging forty plus on both of them.

1128
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 9: You know, I'm gonna lean on the side of believing.

1129
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 14: Them when they said they came out of the Patriots

1130
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 14: game not shook in their confidence in the offense based

1131
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 14: upon limiting maybe some of the stuff they did not

1132
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 14: executing quite as well. You know, Sean McDermott said the

1133
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 14: focus wasn't quite as there in intensity, so he had

1134
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 14: all that up and they came out sharper yesterday. But

1135
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 14: I just feel like when the lights are on, this

1136
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 14: offense has even got a different gear to it than

1137
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 14: maybe we've seen for these last few weeks.

1138
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 3: All Right, so let's talk about Week eighteen now. Obviously

1139
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 3: nothing to be gained, nothing to be lost by the

1140
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 3: outcome of the game, and in light of what happened

1141
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 3: to this team last year. In the last two weeks,

1142
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 3: of the season, or I should say, the last week

1143
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 3: of the regular season, wild card weekend, losing Rasul Douglas,

1144
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 3: Taylor Rapp, Terrell Bernard, and Christian Benford in the span

1145
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 3: of those two games. How cautiously do you anticipate Sean

1146
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 3: McDermott and his coaching staff taking this week's game in

1147
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 3: light of, you know what happened last year which let

1148
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 3: them left them severely shorthanded for the divisional playoff against

1149
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 3: Kansas City.

1150
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 14: Yeah, this is value, but of course you would want

1151
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 14: the one seed and get this, you know, essentially by

1152
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 14: week first week of the playoffs, get home field advanced throughout.

1153
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 9: Okay, that's off the table for this season.

1154
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 14: You're locked in on the two seed, so you get

1155
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,919
Speaker 14: to have this mini buy and you know, unfortunately, based

1156
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 14: upon NFL roster size is you're not gonna be able

1157
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 14: to rest everybody that you would like to for this game.

1158
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 14: There's gonna be plenty of starters that will be out there.

1159
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 14: Most of those will be young guys. It'll be interesting

1160
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 14: to see how Sean does it, whether it's kind of

1161
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 14: seniority at some spots or if it's caliber of player

1162
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 14: we're gonna we're gonna find those things out maybe throughout

1163
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 14: the week or closer to game time. But you know,

1164
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 14: I just think you rest as many people as you

1165
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 14: possibly can in this game.

1166
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 9: Let those guys go out and compete.

1167
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 14: It's gonna look like the end of yesterday's game, where

1168
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 14: the whole sidelines jumping up and down when Shavers takes

1169
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:36,479
Speaker 14: off for the long touchdown. Any plays, any big plays,

1170
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 14: especially by some of these guys that are putting on

1171
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 14: a uniform for the first time this season, will be

1172
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 14: a lot of fun for those guys in that locker room.

1173
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 9: You know, many of these guys, you know, haven't.

1174
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 14: Got a whole lot of action this year, but they've

1175
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 14: worked their tails off behind the scenes, and so they'll

1176
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 14: be rewarded this week in an opportunity to play. And

1177
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 14: then when you look at the benefit of what this

1178
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 14: week can do, just having a week where guys like

1179
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 14: Josh Allen don't have to just scour over film and

1180
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 14: plays all week. And the mental grind is as tough

1181
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 14: this time of year as the physical grind, just because

1182
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 14: the monotony of just spending so much time in front

1183
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 14: of whether it's the projector in the meeting room, or

1184
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 14: it's your iPad at home or you know iPad around

1185
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 14: the facility you're living in, you know, around the tape

1186
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 14: and around the play So to be able to mentally

1187
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 14: reset and you know, kind of focus in on that

1188
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 14: first week of the playoffs is gonna be really valuable

1189
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 14: for the squad.

1190
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 8: Yeah. Even so, and even if you wanted to rest

1191
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 8: as many guys as much as you could, there's only

1192
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 8: so much you can do. You have fifty three guys.

1193
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 8: You got to play twenty two of them on offense

1194
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 8: and defense is starting a special teams guys, somebody's got

1195
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 8: to cover. I mean, you got to have some guys

1196
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 8: out there. You can't hide your twenty two best players.

1197
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 8: So what's this mean? And particularly for your case, Eric,

1198
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 8: your offensive line, you're gonna play all five of those guys.

1199
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 8: I mean, how's that look? So you're limited in how

1200
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 8: many guys get to take the week off?

1201
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, I would assume you can elevate someone on the

1202
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 14: offensive line. So at the end of the game yesterday,

1203
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 14: from left to right, we saw vander Mark Anderson, Van

1204
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 14: Prang Grainger, right guard Torrents, right tackle Spencer Brown. You know,

1205
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 14: that's that's kind of what I'm talking about based upon seniority. Yeah,

1206
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 14: because let's be real, this is not an indictment on

1207
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 14: David Edwards, but Spencer Brown, our twenty million dollar right tackle,

1208
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 14: who's one of the best right tackles in the NFL.

1209
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 14: I'm likely resting him, maybe over some my you know.

1210
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,479
Speaker 14: So it's just how they determine how they're gonna rest

1211
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 14: those guys and if they can bring up a will

1212
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 14: clap this week and maybe get one of those other

1213
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 14: guys out.

1214
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 3: You know.

1215
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 14: It was always interesting at the end of games, which

1216
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 14: didn't have happened a ton when.

1217
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 9: I was playing.

1218
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 14: But if we're ever beating a team too bad, how

1219
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 14: we determined it. Well, if the quarterback, unless the quarterback

1220
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 14: went out, I cannot come out, as a said, But

1221
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 14: as soon as the quarterback's out, now I'm out. And

1222
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 14: now you guys all figure it out yourselves, because generally

1223
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 14: the backup quarterback, it's gonna be easier for him to

1224
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 14: work with the guy who's been snapping to him all

1225
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 14: week in practice if he's up in a uniform for

1226
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 14: that day. So it was always pretty funny having those

1227
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 14: conversations on the sideline and maybe seeing some sour faces

1228
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 14: when they realized they were they weren't on the uh,

1229
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 14: on the list to maybe get out of this one.

1230
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, but that's the way it's gotta work. You have

1231
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 8: eight guys up, he got five offensive line, they got

1232
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 8: to play, and so only three of them get spelled.

1233
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 8: And if you're right, and Connor McGovern is not in

1234
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 8: that lix now, Mitch mctrubisky, you know, he doesn't work

1235
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 8: with the government as much as he works with probably

1236
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:37,880
Speaker 8: Van Prant. So that's the real consideration too. And on

1237
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 8: the defensive side, they rotate those guys in all week anyway,

1238
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 8: all all game anyway. So you know there's I guess,

1239
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 8: I guess my point is not everybody gets to rest

1240
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 8: week eighteen.

1241
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 14: No, you're right, and look, and you got to go

1242
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 14: out there and put out good film. You're gonna go compete.

1243
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 14: You know, sometimes these require maybe a little extra caffeine.

1244
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 14: They might require a little bit louder music in the

1245
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 14: locker room. There might be quotes you're scouring for as

1246
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 14: a staff throughout the week to maybe show some guys

1247
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 14: just some extra motivation to get up for this one. Now,

1248
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 14: there's gonna be plenty of guys that are getting in

1249
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 14: a uniform for this game and get a chance to

1250
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 14: start for the Bills. Chance they might not get many

1251
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 14: NFL starts in their entire career, and they're gonna be

1252
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 14: out there flying around like a madman. I'm assuming we're

1253
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,479
Speaker 14: gonna see my boy forty four out there. He leads

1254
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 14: the Bills and tackles and really only plays the fourth

1255
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 14: quarter in special teams last week. I can't wait to

1256
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 14: watch Joe Andries and fly around that field. Dorian Williams.

1257
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 14: I expect him to start unless Mat Malana, you know,

1258
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 14: gets some run as well. I love watching forty two

1259
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 14: play football, So it'll be fun to call this game now,

1260
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 14: you know, be similar to the fourth quarter last week,

1261
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 14: where me and Chris and Sal might be looking for

1262
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 14: some different storylines at times, or we're talking playoffs scenarios,

1263
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 14: and we'll be prepped in that regard, but you know,

1264
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 14: we can talk about how some guys might need a

1265
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 14: little extra motivation, might be a little sour that they

1266
01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 14: got to play this week and everyone else is getting

1267
01:06:59,080 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 14: the week off.

1268
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 9: But then man, it's gonna be it's gonna be a

1269
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 9: special moment.

1270
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 14: For a ton of those guys out there that are

1271
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 14: gonna get an opportunity to show what they can do

1272
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 14: in this league, and you know, go put on that

1273
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 14: Bill's helmet in a game, in a real NFL game.

1274
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 9: You know this, it's also special for them.

1275
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 3: And then last one here, because the seventh seed is

1276
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 3: far from being set in stone. With three teams in

1277
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 3: the mix, is there a preference for you? We know

1278
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 3: players say, oh, give us whoever we get, but you

1279
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 3: have Miami in the mix, and some people will argue

1280
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 3: it's always hard to beat a team a third time

1281
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:39,919
Speaker 3: in the same season. We know that Cincinnati's in the mix,

1282
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 3: as is Denver. So where do you come down among

1283
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 3: those three choices? If you had to pick.

1284
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 14: One, you know from a storyline standpoint, you know, just

1285
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 14: based upon you know how the last few years and

1286
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 14: all that's worked out. If I could draw the perfect scenario,

1287
01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 14: you know, we beat the Bengals in Joe Burrow in

1288
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 14: the playoffs, then we take down Baltimore and Josh Pruves

1289
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 14: why he's the MVP, and then we go to Kansas

1290
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 14: City and we knock them off and then go in

1291
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 14: the Super Bowl.

1292
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 9: What a story, What a fun adventure?

1293
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 14: That would be The competitor in me says, give me

1294
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 14: Denver in Miami playing up here in the cold. You know,

1295
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 14: you love your situation there, but like you said, Chris,

1296
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 14: beating the team a third time is tough. And then

1297
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 14: Mike McDaniel in the cold with Skyler Thompson a few

1298
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 14: years ago in the playoffs, gave us our run for

1299
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 14: our money in the playoffs with his run game that

1300
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 14: he designed in that snowy game in Orchard Park. So

1301
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,240
Speaker 14: give me Denver and the rookie quarterback. And I got

1302
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 14: a lot of respect for bow Nicks. How he's progressed

1303
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 14: this season. They've got an elite defense. Sean Payton, you know,

1304
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 14: kind of coming on in the season on the hot seat.

1305
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 14: You see why he was so coveted to come back

1306
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 14: and coach in this league. So a lot of respect

1307
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 14: for them. But give me Denver in the first round.

1308
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 14: Give me a Kansas City early exit home field advantage throughout.

1309
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:57,680
Speaker 9: I don't need the storyline this year. Just get just

1310
01:08:57,720 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 9: get us to the dance.

1311
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, they don't ask who won the division around, they

1312
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 8: ask who won the Super Bowl? You know, so just

1313
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 8: you know, right, I guess last one for me. So

1314
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 8: you got this. You're tooling up into the playoffs and

1315
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 8: you know, the Bills are gonna have a home game again.

1316
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 8: Things goes, They're gonna they're gonna win another playoff game.

1317
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 8: And we go through this all the time. We did

1318
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 8: early today. Josh is every week, Josh is the first

1319
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 8: quarterback to do this. He's the first quarterback to do that.

1320
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 8: He's nobody has ever had this many years where a

1321
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 8: guy's done this, nobody And I said it today. The

1322
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 8: guy's on a Hall of Fame trajectory. He's an old

1323
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 8: timer and he's playing. And I said, even fans around

1324
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 8: the league, you're you're watching Pat Mahomes, You're watching Josh Allen,

1325
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Saquon Barkley, and I you know,

1326
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 8: I mentioned a bunch of guys. It's there's some really

1327
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:59,479
Speaker 8: truly great old timers for some of these franchises around

1328
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 8: and Josh is one of them. What you know, can

1329
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 8: you put that into context of you know, history, or

1330
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 8: you know, for your career? I mean you I know,

1331
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 8: I can do it for mine. I mean I was,

1332
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:12,640
Speaker 8: I was.

1333
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 3: I was.

1334
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,719
Speaker 8: We were playing against Dan Marino and Montana and Steve

1335
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 8: Young and all of those jokers. It's kind of the

1336
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 8: same atmosphere here, and I know the league always produces

1337
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 8: great players, but these playoffs with the Chiefs and the

1338
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 8: Bills and maybe the Bengals and Baltimore for sure, Man,

1339
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 8: it just seems like this is an era that is

1340
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 8: it's pretty special.

1341
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 14: Yeah, you're right, and I think it's especially special based

1342
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 14: upon the markets they're in. I grew up in Cincinnati,

1343
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 14: so say what you want about the Bengals's a pretty

1344
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 14: strong football town. Buffalo obviously, you know, just maybe the

1345
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 14: most passionate fan base in the league. Going to a

1346
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,600
Speaker 14: game at kentas City and seeing how they show up

1347
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 14: each and every week as a fan base. And then Baltimore,

1348
01:10:56,760 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 14: newer franchise, but you know, not one of the biggest

1349
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 14: cities around the country, an organization you have a lot

1350
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 14: of respect for. So the fact that those four in

1351
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 14: those cities as well makes it special.

1352
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 9: You get on X.

1353
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 14: None of these franchises or their fan bases would trade

1354
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 14: either of the any of these quarterbacks for one of

1355
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 14: the other ones.

1356
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 9: They'll trash years along the way.

1357
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 14: But the fact that there are four up at the

1358
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 14: top that you debate like this shows the you know

1359
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 14: what kind of position the NFL is in right now,

1360
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 14: especially the AFC and having a bunch of good football

1361
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 14: to watch throughout throughout the season. I mean, looking back

1362
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 14: on my career, you know Tom Brady stands out, Eli

1363
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 14: Manning went toe to toe with him in the playoffs,

1364
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 14: and you know you had Aaron Rodgers win MVPs. Ben

1365
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:43,719
Speaker 14: Roethlisberger was big and tough, and the Steelers were always

1366
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 14: a nightmare and they had a great run of success.

1367
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 14: So you know there was there was some big time ones.

1368
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 14: But man, and maybe it's just because as a kid,

1369
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 14: I'm idolizing all these quarterbacks. But going back to your

1370
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:00,920
Speaker 14: era with that nineties Quarterbacks club and all that talent

1371
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 14: at the quarterback position, I mean, to me, that's a

1372
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 14: tough era of just absolute beast gun slingers.

1373
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 6: Uh.

1374
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 14: And then you add in like a Cunningham as well

1375
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 14: to the mix. I mean it was a more moon I.

1376
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 8: Mean, Mike Vick, yeah, all of it.

1377
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 14: You can't claim you can't claim Cunningham and Vic No.

1378
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 8: No, I can't play. I do claim. I do claim Cunningham,

1379
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 8: Yes you can do. I'm just kidding a stretch, Vix,

1380
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 8: a stretch, I'll admit, but he was. He's one of

1381
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 8: those guys, right, I mean, it's been fun, but we are,

1382
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 8: you know, especially in the conference. I mean your neck

1383
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 8: deep in Ald Timers.

1384
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 14: Oh absolutely, I mean And then I mean you're talking

1385
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 14: about Aaron Rodgers. I know he's not playing up to

1386
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 14: his ability right now, but Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, Well, when

1387
01:12:56,040 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 14: healthy can light anybody up. And so yeah, it's where

1388
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 14: we're sitting in the AFC right now is pretty special.

1389
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 14: It makes it a tough road to the playoffs or

1390
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 14: to the super Bowl each year when you consider who

1391
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,719
Speaker 14: you got to beat and if and if you can't

1392
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 14: stay healthy, it just becomes really difficult. You know, saw

1393
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 14: the last two years getting bumped by you know, the

1394
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 14: Chiefs and the Bengals. It just and and if their

1395
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 14: defenses were more banged up like worse ours was last year,

1396
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 14: they're probably having the same conversation about us, right.

1397
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,560
Speaker 3: Eric, thanks as always for the time. We'll catch you

1398
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 3: up New England way this weekend.

1399
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 9: Yep, sounds great.

1400
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 3: Happy to your guys, Happy New year to you too.

1401
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 3: That's Eric Wood, Bill's radio analyst on the Bills Radio Network,

1402
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, it's I'm very curious to see the

1403
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 3: coaching staff's decision making with playing time, you know, do

1404
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 3: the do some of the starters just play a series

1405
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 3: and then they're done, put the baseball hat on the

1406
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 3: rest of the day, just to do the weekly routine.

1407
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 3: Because we know coach is a creature of habit. Does

1408
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 3: he put them through those paces and then sit them

1409
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 3: down after a series or two kind of like the

1410
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 3: old fourth preseason game, or do they just sit completely?

1411
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 3: In some cases to your point, you can't sit everybody.

1412
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 3: You only got forty eight guys. You can dress on

1413
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 3: game day. So there's that. But with practice squad elevations,

1414
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 3: which I think we should anticipate, you only get two

1415
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 3: for a game. There'll be some different decisions this week.

1416
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,600
Speaker 3: For sure. We have to take a break here, but

1417
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 3: we're right back to your phone calls in short order

1418
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 3: here on a Buffalo victory Monday. So if you're hanging

1419
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 3: at eight h three ZHO five fifty, stay where you are.

1420
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,000
Speaker 3: We'll get to you when we return here. On one

1421
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 3: Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1422
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 3: This week's efficient drive of the game is presented by

1423
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 3: National Grid, a proud partner the Buffalo Bills. Came in

1424
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 3: the third quarter five plays thirty eight yards, took two

1425
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 3: oh seven off the clock. Josh Allen with a moon

1426
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:02,600
Speaker 3: ball to a Ari Cooper for a thirty yard touchdown.

1427
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 3: Maybe the most highest degree of difficulty catch in the

1428
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 3: end zone this season for the Bills. There are there

1429
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 3: aren't been too many high wire acts like that.

1430
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,599
Speaker 8: Not high wires, but there's been some tough catches. But yeah,

1431
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 8: that was that was spectacular.

1432
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:19,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Cooper actually had to go in the medical

1433
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 3: ten because the independent neurological consultant wanted to check him out.

1434
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 8: Looked like he hit the back of his head on

1435
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,800
Speaker 8: the yeah tailbones.

1436
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said. It was just a situation where hey,

1437
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 3: just let me sit here for a minute and select

1438
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:36,560
Speaker 3: myself full body weight landing on your lower back in

1439
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 3: the end zone after going full extension to pull this

1440
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:39,680
Speaker 3: thing in.

1441
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 8: Yeah it hurts.

1442
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that doesn't feel good. Probably would have heard more

1443
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 3: last week on a six degree field. At a fifty

1444
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:47,959
Speaker 3: nine degree field.

1445
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 8: Do you just give me a minute here.

1446
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:51,759
Speaker 3: I just gonna lay here a little bit and collect

1447
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 3: my thoughts and the body parts. I hope everything is

1448
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 3: still together.

1449
01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:00,640
Speaker 8: Ye, good stuff though, great drive, sensational catch, and we

1450
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 8: saw as well. If you watch that play that Cooper

1451
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 8: caught that touchdown on. There was a really nice option

1452
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 8: to James Cook out on the left as well. They

1453
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,680
Speaker 8: had a blocker and James Cook all by themselves with

1454
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 8: one defender with everybody clearing that side of the field

1455
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 8: out and it looked like Josh had a quick release

1456
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 8: right there, but he wanted to go to Cooper and

1457
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 8: throw it up and he got the touchdown for it, so.

1458
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 3: Cooper rewarded him for it. And congratulations to Amari Cooper,

1459
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 3: who also went over the ten thousand yard mark in

1460
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 3: his career receiving yards. Became the fifty seventh player all

1461
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,719
Speaker 3: time to do that. He only needed thirty three yards

1462
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 3: in the game yesterday to or twenty three yards to

1463
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 3: accomplish the feat, and he did do that. Actually it

1464
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 3: happened prior to this touchdown catch, So congrats to him.

1465
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 3: One of only eight active players over the ten thousand

1466
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 3: yard mark. So that's a Hall of Fame milestone, like

1467
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 3: you get over it. That's the baseline for receivers these days.

1468
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 3: You clear ten thousand yards, now you're the conversation. And

1469
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 3: I think maybe the the biggest feather in Amari Cooper's

1470
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 3: cap is he has been great wherever he has been.

1471
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 3: I think this is his fourth NFL team. Yeah, he's

1472
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 3: been really good wherever he has gone, which speaks to

1473
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 3: his abilities, obviously. So congrats to him on ten thousand

1474
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:21,400
Speaker 3: career receiving yards. But let's get back to the phones

1475
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 3: at eight oh three h five fifty one eighty eight

1476
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 3: five fifty two, five point fifty and we go to

1477
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 3: Stephen in Florida. What do you got for a steven?

1478
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 3: You're on one Bill's.

1479
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 15: Lived aftermoon guys. Yeah, you know, I was just thinking

1480
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:37,679
Speaker 15: about I was looking this up on ESPN and they

1481
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 15: have a listing of teams that have never won a

1482
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:44,559
Speaker 15: Super Bowl. And you know, this season, I was talking

1483
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 15: to a friend of mine. There's a team that's doing

1484
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 15: really exceptionally well this year and nobody seems to be

1485
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 15: talking about him. That's Minnesota Vikings and now here they

1486
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 15: are vying for the number one seed in the NFC

1487
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,640
Speaker 15: if they beat Detroit next week, you know, and thro

1488
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 15: Detroit's got to win their game against the San Francisco

1489
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 15: forty nine ers as well. But I'm saying, look at this,

1490
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 15: here's the two teams that have never won a Super

1491
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 15: Bowl and been there more time than anybody else. Steve

1492
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 15: or parent Paintfley where the Buffalo goes four years in

1493
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 15: row and then the Minnesota Vikings in the seventies. How

1494
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 15: cool would it be for both these teams to end

1495
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,599
Speaker 15: up playing each other in the Super Bowl this year,

1496
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 15: which would mean that one of them would finally come

1497
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 15: away with the win, and hopefully it would be the

1498
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 15: Buffalo Bills.

1499
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's an interesting scenario that you paint there,

1500
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 3: and I get it, Steven, and I'm sorry if I

1501
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 3: misled you earlier. The Lions don't have to beat San Francisco.

1502
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 3: They can still beat the Vikings in Week eighteen and

1503
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 3: still take the top seed in the conference in the division,

1504
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 3: so they don't have to win tonight, and obviously is

1505
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 3: better if they do. But yeah, yeah, that'd be nice.

1506
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people that have a waxed

1507
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:06,520
Speaker 3: poetic about Detroit and Buffalo too long suffering NFL franchises,

1508
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 3: and the Lions have never won a Super Bowl either.

1509
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 3: I think there's twelve teams left that have not won

1510
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. I think that's the number, Detroit, Minnesota,

1511
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 3: Buffalo being examples. So yeah, we'll have to see how

1512
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 3: that NFC side of the Ledger plays out. Of course,

1513
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 3: even have that conversation, the Bills have to make their

1514
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 3: way through the AFC, which is a daunting challenge with

1515
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 3: the powerhouses that are in the American Football Conference. Let's

1516
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 3: move on to rich In cheek to Wogan X. What's up,

1517
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 3: rich rich Are you there?

1518
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 16: Yeah? Hi, guys. I was wondering if they would take

1519
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 16: in the consideration any goals or bonuses that players could

1520
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 16: receive if they reached certain benchmarks. For example, James Cook

1521
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 16: only needs twenty yards to hit a thousand, and I

1522
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 16: wonder if that would be taken into consideration.

1523
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think sometimes coaching staffs have that needle to thread,

1524
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,040
Speaker 3: you know, they want a healthy football team going into

1525
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 3: the postseason. That's an easy one, I should say, an

1526
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 3: easier one than the Eagles have with Saquon Barkley, because,

1527
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 3: much like the Bills, the Eagles have locked up the

1528
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:25,759
Speaker 3: two seed, can't do any better, can't do any worse.

1529
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 3: Week eighteen doesn't mean a whole lot for them. Saquon

1530
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:33,280
Speaker 3: Barkley needs one hundred and one rushing yards to break

1531
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 3: Eric Dickerson's record. That's a full day on the field.

1532
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 3: I mean, unless he busts off a seventy five yard

1533
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the game, he's likely playing the

1534
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 3: balance of that football game in Week eighteen. That's I

1535
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:48,640
Speaker 3: don't know if I'm doing that twenty. I realize you

1536
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 3: can get injured on any play, but to get James

1537
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 3: Cook twenty yards seems a little bit easier to navigate

1538
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 3: than Barkley trying to go for over one hundred to

1539
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 3: get over you get a league all time record.

1540
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:07,720
Speaker 8: It's a considerations there's financial incentives or not in this

1541
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 8: In this day and age, there are fewer of the

1542
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 8: financial incentives laden contracts out there because of the salary

1543
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 8: cap and the uncertainty of that, so they don't put

1544
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 8: those in as much as they once did. Nevertheless, guys

1545
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 8: want to play for whatever reason, whether it's cash or

1546
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 8: numbers or personal goals. Whatever, guys want to play, and

1547
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 8: sometimes you coaches will acquiesce to those sentiments or some

1548
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:45,799
Speaker 8: and sometimes they'll say no, yeah.

1549
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:49,479
Speaker 3: Cook also needs only one rushing touchdown to tie OJ

1550
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 3: Simpson for the all time single season rushing touchdown record

1551
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 3: in Bill's History of sixteen that he set back in

1552
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy five, albeit in a fourteen game season of

1553
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 3: seventeen game season. But that's still out there for James

1554
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 3: Cook as well. So yeah, those are decisions that will

1555
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 3: have to be discussed.

1556
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 8: It's not an answer by the.

1557
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 3: Coaching staff this week. And you got to weigh out

1558
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 3: risk versus reward. And at the same time, you don't

1559
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 3: want to turn a player off because he was deprived

1560
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 3: of an opportunity to you know, set a team record

1561
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,960
Speaker 3: or something to that effect. So that requires a lot

1562
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 3: of back and forth and a lot of communication, uh,

1563
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 3: to nail that down and get everybody in a place

1564
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 3: where they realize in some cases, hey, the bigger prize

1565
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 3: is down the line here. We can't concern ourselves with this.

1566
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 3: We got to concern ourselves with team goals first, and

1567
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 3: that might be the conversation you got to have with

1568
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 3: a player like that.

1569
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 8: Players rarely worry about the risk involved. They see the

1570
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:52,720
Speaker 8: reward and they want to go after there and they're

1571
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 8: about overcoming challenges. So they're not you know, they're not

1572
01:22:56,960 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 8: afraid of getting hurt, right, which is a problem, right,

1573
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 8: I mean is you got to protect him from themselves. Sometimes.

1574
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 3: Let's go to Kevin and Hamburg next, what's up Kevin.

1575
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:10,720
Speaker 17: Hey, guys, how you doing things? For taking my call?

1576
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 17: If I don't get his hand to TK you have

1577
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:16,760
Speaker 17: a wonderful New Year you too. Okay, two things I

1578
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 17: want to bring up. I'm first about the Bills game

1579
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 17: on Glad. We needed a stopping of a team after

1580
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 17: barely surviving last week against the Patriots. We needed to

1581
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 17: set an example, being that we sent our guys mostly

1582
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 17: next next week, most of them, and then suddenly I

1583
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 17: want to bring up because the Patriots are in our

1584
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:39,719
Speaker 17: division if they have to worry about him in the future.

1585
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 17: I know they don't need a quarterback, but they're in

1586
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 17: the number one draft order. You don't think the Patriots

1587
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 17: would be stupid enough then pass up on Travis Hunter

1588
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 17: or the MB or the Heydsman Trophy winner when they

1589
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:53,800
Speaker 17: have a young quarterback and they don't have the talent

1590
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 17: around him that Josh has. That he's a jack of

1591
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 17: all trades, that he used to say he can play

1592
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 17: rofins defense. So maybe kind of if you're in Boston,

1593
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 17: you know, and they pass up on them because they'd

1594
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 17: be kind of stupid. I mean, he's a good player too,

1595
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 17: even if you wouldn't have won the Heisman. He's a

1596
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 17: jack of all trades almost so. And I wanted to

1597
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:15,839
Speaker 17: bring it up because they're a rival in the future,

1598
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 17: not so much for next week.

1599
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a it's an interesting point, Kevin. And look,

1600
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 3: Girod Mayo's already being asked those questions about whether they're

1601
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 3: gonna sit Drake may this week and keep him healthy

1602
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 3: and instead play Joe Milton, who's, you know, one of

1603
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 3: their backup quarterbacks who's also a rookie, just to get

1604
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 3: him some game experience. So you know, these are it's

1605
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,720
Speaker 3: not just decisions for the winning teams that are going

1606
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 3: to the playoffs. It's decisions for teams like the Patriots

1607
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:48,599
Speaker 3: who are flirting with the top pick in the draft

1608
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 3: and a loss would obviously cement that, and maybe their

1609
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 3: personnel department is saying, yeah, yeah, we we kind of

1610
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 3: want that, guys, so let's go for that. And then

1611
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 3: you have a coaching staff that still wants to look

1612
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 3: good at the end of the season for the brass

1613
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 3: and say, hey, our jobs to win football games, and

1614
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:08,680
Speaker 3: we're gonna do everything we can to win this football game,

1615
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 3: whether we're playing backups or starters or whoever.

1616
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:17,679
Speaker 8: That's right. It's a strange time of year in the schedule.

1617
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 8: You got teams that wish the game didn't happen, and

1618
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 8: you've got teams that would like to teams have got

1619
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:29,160
Speaker 8: to win to get in. You got teams that it

1620
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,640
Speaker 8: means just the opposite. If they lose, it's better for

1621
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 8: them long term. It's a hard, hard season. It's it's

1622
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 8: a hard time of the season. You know, It's rare

1623
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 8: that you get a matchup like this, a Week eighteen

1624
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:48,639
Speaker 8: matchup between Detroit and Minnesota. Most of the time it's

1625
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 8: like Buffalo and New England, or like you know, or

1626
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 8: maybe the Jets in Miami with the if Miami needs

1627
01:25:57,080 --> 01:25:58,640
Speaker 8: to win, they can win and get in the playoffs,

1628
01:25:59,439 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 8: and the Jets it means nothing to them. You've got

1629
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 8: all these issues flying around the league. And I'll say

1630
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 8: this too, and I'm not trying to be flippant. Drod

1631
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:12,719
Speaker 8: Mayo's probably worrying about whether he's gonna be working exactly

1632
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:15,679
Speaker 8: for the around draft time, let alone what pick they're

1633
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 8: gonna have. He may not even be in the building. Uh,

1634
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 8: that's what he's thinking about. So he wants to win

1635
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 8: this game to make him look like he can turn

1636
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 8: this thing around because they got their heads handed to

1637
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 8: them this last weekend.

1638
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, lost forty to seven to the Chargers, and it

1639
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 3: was not competitive.

1640
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 8: It was non competitive. So Drod Mayo's thinking, I don't

1641
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 8: care about the draft. I want to save my job.

1642
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 3: They're looking to rebound from last week because another another whitewash,

1643
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 3: you know, and another lopsided loss, you know. And I

1644
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:46,919
Speaker 3: heard too Crafts might be thinking differently.

1645
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 8: Last week they played the Chargers and it was the

1646
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 8: stadium was half empty, and that never goes over, well.

1647
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:53,639
Speaker 3: Not with an owner.

1648
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:58,480
Speaker 8: So yeah, that's it's it's a strange. It's a strange

1649
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 8: situation all around the league for different reasons. You know.

1650
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 8: The Bills want to just get through this game healthy

1651
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,640
Speaker 8: and try and stay you know finger quote sharp, and

1652
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 8: plus let some of their players accomplish some career numbers,

1653
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:15,719
Speaker 8: right Others who cares it? Literally, it's like nobody cares

1654
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 8: about whether your team wins or loses.

1655
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:19,759
Speaker 3: Break time for us here more of your phone calls

Speaker 8: Now. Yeah, these these photos are a little bit a

1670
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 8: couple of weeks old, I think. But you know, I

1671
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 8: was thinking what I had heard. High Mark Stadium, the

1672
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 8: one they're in now, the old one. I think it

1673
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 8: cost them like twenty seven million dollars when they built it.

1674
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:34,720
Speaker 8: That was it. Think about it. That's fifty years ago, right,

1675
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 8: I mean, think about where we come. Twenty seven million

1676
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 8: dollars inflation twenty seven million dollars. Yeah, man, oh man,

1677
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:46,599
Speaker 8: it can't. You can't dig the hole for that stadium

1678
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:47,760
Speaker 8: for twenty seven million dollars.

1679
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 3: Different times, Sarah, at different times. Let's get back to

1680
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:52,680

01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 19: I don't know if it could have gone any better.

1685
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 19: You know, last week on the show, you guys were

1686
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,320
Speaker 19: talking about like, you know, should we you know, play

1687
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:11,759
Speaker 19: all our starters and everything, and it was just perfect.

1688
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 19: I don't know if being there, you guys just felt

1689
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 19: like the game was in hand the whole time. Was

1690
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:19,599
Speaker 19: there ever any doubt at all?

1691
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:20,719
Speaker 3: No?

1692
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:25,559
Speaker 8: In a word, no, Yeah, it.

1693
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 19: Just seems like we were going to do it. And

1694
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:31,559
Speaker 19: what I really loved was I'm not a Rogers fan,

1695
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 19: so just seeing all the picks that we didn't let

1696
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:38,000
Speaker 19: him throw his five hundred touchdown, that we sacked him,

1697
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 19: so now he's the most sacked player ever, and you know,

1698
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:43,759
Speaker 19: it was just so great. And then I love Tyrod Taylor,

1699
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 19: so that was kind of nice too. You know, I

1700
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:48,719
Speaker 19: was actually almost rooting for the other team per minute

1701
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:52,680
Speaker 19: there when Tyrod came in because he's such a good

1702
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 19: guy and he was so good for us. And then

1703
01:29:56,040 --> 01:30:00,519
Speaker 19: just the juxtaposition of you know, Aaron did so horribly

1704
01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 19: and Tyro came in there and showed that like, hey,

1705
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 19: this isn't such a bad team if you get the

1706
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 19: right guy at the quarterback. So yeah, I just thought

1707
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 19: I was delicious, and like you guys say, I was

1708
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:15,760
Speaker 19: lapping it up. And then I wondered about next week,

1709
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,559
Speaker 19: if you think we should let it seems like Josh

1710
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 19: wants to have that consecutive game streak, if we should

1711
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:24,640
Speaker 19: let him play you know, a couple downs or a

1712
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 19: series or two, or what you guys think on that.

1713
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:32,519
Speaker 19: And then just you know, what you think about if

1714
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:36,320
Speaker 19: we have enough guys to call up from the practice

1715
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 19: squad to catch you know, to match that or to

1716
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:43,280
Speaker 19: beat that record of fourteen guys catching a touchdown.

1717
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that one's probably low on

1718
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 3: the priority list, Aaron, But yeah, I mean this is

1719
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:53,519
Speaker 3: where those conversations take place between players and coaches. As

1720
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 3: we were just outlining in the previous segment, decisions have

1721
01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:58,920
Speaker 3: to be made in that regard. And you know, if

1722
01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 3: a player really lobbies for it and you think it,

1723
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 3: you know, we'll put them on the right track heading

1724
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 3: into the postseason by you know, achieving some kind of

1725
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 3: goal or mark or record, and you can get them

1726
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 3: in and out of the game pretty quickly to do it.

1727
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,800
Speaker 3: Maybe you do it. I don't think that's going to

1728
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 3: be unanimous. I don't think it's going to fall in

1729
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:21,800
Speaker 3: favor of the player unanimously all the way up and

1730
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:23,840
Speaker 3: down the roster. Hey, I want to play because of X.

1731
01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 3: I want to play because I want to get X.

1732
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:29,120
Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be some yeses and nose mixed

1733
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 3: in and look, that's the way you gotta do it.

1734
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, their hands are tied a little bit by just

1735
01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 8: the amount of movement they can do. So yeah, it's

1736
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:44,720
Speaker 8: hard to rest as many guys as you want to.

1737
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:48,479
Speaker 8: That's the problem. And there's a ton of guys who say, yeah,

1738
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:51,599
Speaker 8: i'd love a week off please. Maybe Josh is one

1739
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:53,680
Speaker 8: of them in a regular world and he does want

1740
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 8: that thing. He knows to play all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1741
01:31:56,400 --> 01:32:00,559
Speaker 8: But then too, the bye week would be awesome for

1742
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 8: these guys as well. They'd all want to weak off

1743
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:08,080
Speaker 8: if it didn't cost him anything. So it's yeah, it's

1744
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 8: it's a difficult situation. It's a you know, you earned it,

1745
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 8: no question. I guess when you earn it, you got

1746
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 8: to take what comes with it. So I get you know,

1747
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 8: they'll just try and thread that needle and rest as

1748
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 8: many important guys as they can, not that not all

1749
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:28,600
Speaker 8: of them are important, but crucial and critical guys that

1750
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:31,880
Speaker 8: they have big plans for for this off season, for

1751
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 8: this playoff run. So it's a weird place, no question.

1752
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:38,960
Speaker 8: We've been talking about it for a while now.

1753
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 3: We'll probably talk about it some more of this.

1754
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 8: Man, it'll be it's it's gonna be the topic of

1755
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:45,200
Speaker 8: conversation until we start hearing from coach and maybe get

1756
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 8: some some thoughts about how they're gonna handle it.

1757
01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:50,479
Speaker 3: Let's go to Ronnie in West Seneca here. What do

1758
01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:50,920
Speaker 3: you got first?

1759
01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 20: Ronnie, Hey, let me start by saying, Chris and Steve,

1760
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 20: happy New Year. And my question to you guys is,

1761
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 20: I'm not so concerned learn with the offense and they're

1762
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:05,400
Speaker 20: disguising and going into the playoffs no matter who we face,

1763
01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 20: you know, even if it comes down to facing Baltimore

1764
01:33:08,080 --> 01:33:12,880
Speaker 20: or Casey in the long run. But my concern is,

1765
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:16,599
Speaker 20: do you think Babbage and McDermott will get together and

1766
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:21,400
Speaker 20: possibly throw in some more stunts, things that other offensive

1767
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 20: lines haven't seen from our defensive line, maybe some different

1768
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 20: packages just to change it up depending on who we're

1769
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:31,680
Speaker 20: playing or facing I'm gonna hang up and let me

1770
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 20: listen to what you guys have to say about it

1771
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:35,799
Speaker 20: and go Bills.

1772
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll defer to Steve on this because he brought

1773
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:40,200
Speaker 3: this up after the loss to Baltimore in Week four.

1774
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:43,920
Speaker 3: It was his contention that if you see that team again,

1775
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:46,760
Speaker 3: knowing how well they can run the ball and knowing

1776
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:50,519
Speaker 3: Buffalo's struggles in defending the run oft times, Steve was saying,

1777
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,639
Speaker 3: you gotta do something unconventional against an opponent like that.

1778
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 3: That's not a great matchup for you.

1779
01:33:55,520 --> 01:33:57,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, but then two, I mean you got to know it.

1780
01:33:57,360 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 8: For a while, Lamore was leading the league in passing

1781
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 8: because teams were throwing nine guys in the box and

1782
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 8: he's dropping back and they're taking advantage of the matchups,

1783
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 8: and they could do it. They're tough. It's tough to

1784
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:11,040
Speaker 8: win in any against any of these team. Now, certainly

1785
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 8: what you're asking here is not gonna happen this week

1786
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 8: against the Patriots, and they're not gonna do extra steam

1787
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:17,200
Speaker 8: schemes and all that. In fact, they're gonna do less.

1788
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 8: But in the playoffs, it's absolutely no holds barred. They're

1789
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 8: gonna Yeah, they will scheme big time, uh and try

1790
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,120
Speaker 8: and get the edge in any way they can, including

1791
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 8: taking some risks. Now they're may be, you know, depending

1792
01:34:33,439 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 8: on how the game goes, they may not need to

1793
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:38,920
Speaker 8: take risks, or they may be, you know, they may

1794
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:42,439
Speaker 8: be pulling out fake punts and triple reverses on kickoff

1795
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 8: returns and all of that stuff. So, uh, double passes

1796
01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:47,600
Speaker 8: in the offense, all that kind of stuff is on

1797
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:51,080
Speaker 8: the table and defensively goes the same way. So yes,

1798
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 8: when the playoffs start, those conversations you asked about with

1799
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:56,960
Speaker 8: McDermott and Babbage will certainly take place, and I'll do

1800
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:58,759
Speaker 8: it on both sides of the ball, not just Babbage

1801
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 8: and McDermott, but Dermott and Joe Brady as well.

1802
01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:05,280
Speaker 3: We have to step aside here because we are up

1803
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:07,960
Speaker 3: against the break. But when we return, you know what

1804
01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 3: happens after Bill's victories. It's time to hand out some

1805
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:14,200
Speaker 3: Maddie Awards, and we'll need Bill's team reporter Mattie Clapp

1806
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:16,080
Speaker 3: to join us in studio to do just that when

1807
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:18,200
Speaker 3: we return for our number three here on a Buffalo

1808
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:20,840
Speaker 3: Victory Monday on one Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health.

1809
01:35:20,840 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 21: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1810
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:07,599
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live, presented by Calllida Health.

1811
01:36:08,479 --> 01:36:11,800
Speaker 3: Right our number three on a Buffalo victory Monday. Chris Brown,

1812
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,040
Speaker 3: Steve Tasker, and Bill's team reporter Matty glad I joining

1813
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 3: us in studio for what else The Maddie Awards, which

1814
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:22,360
Speaker 3: are presented by Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to

1815
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:24,519
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills. And the Bills were certainly bringing the

1816
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:25,639
Speaker 3: energy yesterday, Matty.

1817
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 22: Oh, yes, they were eight and at home in the

1818
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:32,240
Speaker 22: regular season. Love to see a stat like that, especially

1819
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:36,639
Speaker 22: when the Bills get to defend home turf in the playoffs.

1820
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:38,920
Speaker 8: Very nice in very nice. Uh.

1821
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,679
Speaker 3: And we've got some I like some of the titles

1822
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:44,240
Speaker 3: of the awards s. I'me nota gonna love it. But

1823
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 3: we'll begin with MVP, which is pretty self explanatory, you know,

1824
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 3: the drill.

1825
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:52,520
Speaker 22: I'm just calling him the MVP until he earns this,

1826
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:54,960
Speaker 22: till he gets the award, not earns it, he already

1827
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 22: has earned it. Our MVP is Josh Allen. He locked

1828
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 22: it up yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, and I'm calling it.

1829
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,599
Speaker 22: He is the official MVP of the twenty twenty four season.

1830
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:09,120
Speaker 22: Another season with at least forty touchdowns. Josh Allen becomes

1831
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:12,439
Speaker 22: the only player in NFL history to do it five

1832
01:37:12,640 --> 01:37:15,680
Speaker 22: straight years in a row. He joins Aaron Rodgers as

1833
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 22: the only NFL players to do it at least five

1834
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 22: times throughout their career. Rogers did it six times. He

1835
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:25,880
Speaker 22: finishes yesterday's game with three touchdowns a one zero four

1836
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:30,720
Speaker 22: passer rating. Josh Allen had a couple super impressive touchdown

1837
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:33,920
Speaker 22: passes over to Amari Cooper, that fifty to fifty ball

1838
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 22: trusting his receiver to go up and get it, and

1839
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:39,120
Speaker 22: that awesome throw cross his body to Keon Coleman for

1840
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 22: a touchdown. Sean McDermott said, I have a hard time

1841
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:47,439
Speaker 22: believing there's anybody else who's done more for his team

1842
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:50,960
Speaker 22: when asked about why Allan deserves the MVP, and I

1843
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 22: definitely agree he is Buffalo's most valuable player. He does

1844
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 22: more for this team than I think anybody else does

1845
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:02,040
Speaker 22: when you look at what quarterbacks do for their teams.

1846
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:05,240
Speaker 22: I know it's been a big conversation Josh Allen Lamar Jackson.

1847
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:09,000
Speaker 22: Lamar Jackson has had a fantastic season yet again, but

1848
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:11,360
Speaker 22: it's Josh Allen's time to shine. You know what, I

1849
01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:14,040
Speaker 22: don't care about what people say about the MVP doesn't

1850
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 22: win the Super Bowl.

1851
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:19,439
Speaker 3: I think I think someone's been on social media today.

1852
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 3: You know what, they defy the hots, check it out

1853
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:25,599
Speaker 3: the trolls.

1854
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:26,360
Speaker 8: Uh.

1855
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:28,559
Speaker 3: That was I will say this though, after the game,

1856
01:38:28,640 --> 01:38:31,360
Speaker 3: that was the most outspoken we have seen coach mcgunnett

1857
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:34,599
Speaker 3: concerning the MVP award. Now, he was asked a direct question,

1858
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:37,600
Speaker 3: but he did not give a roundabout answer. He was

1859
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:41,280
Speaker 3: as plain as he has been all season long, and

1860
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:43,640
Speaker 3: why he believes Josh is deserving of the award. What

1861
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 3: did you What did you make of that, Steve?

1862
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think he's sticking up for his guy. He's hurt.

1863
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 8: These guys they don't comment on it, and they make

1864
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:55,800
Speaker 8: public statements about it, and they know that they're gonna

1865
01:38:55,800 --> 01:39:00,800
Speaker 8: perceive and be perceived in large measure by what they say. Yeah,

1866
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 8: even more so than what they do. So I'm sure

1867
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:10,080
Speaker 8: he has he probably had that answer in his pocket.

1868
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 8: He's always going to stick up for Josh. I mean,

1869
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:15,679
Speaker 8: Josh has been in large measure, you know, well, no question,

1870
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 8: he's the best player on the squad. Yeah, ever since

1871
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:22,800
Speaker 8: they drafted him. So he's earned it. He has had

1872
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:25,680
Speaker 8: great years before this and got nothing for it. And

1873
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:30,599
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure Sean is like, yeah, it's time.

1874
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:31,440
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1875
01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:34,599
Speaker 3: And it was funny because some people even took coaches

1876
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:37,519
Speaker 3: comments and said, oh, does this mean that Josh is

1877
01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:39,519
Speaker 3: not playing next week? And he knows it, so he's

1878
01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:42,640
Speaker 3: saying all this about Josh, So it's it's not believable.

1879
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe all right, let's go to the Bullies Award.

1880
01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:51,639
Speaker 22: The Bullies are defense bullied the Jets the entire game.

1881
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:56,400
Speaker 22: Buffalo's defense was pitching a shutout. Halfway through the fourth quarter.

1882
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:59,880
Speaker 22: They forced three total takeaways, four sacks. He got a

1883
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:03,680
Speaker 22: big man interception out of that defensive tackle. Jordan Phillips

1884
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:07,120
Speaker 22: had his second interception of his career. He then posts

1885
01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 22: on social media on Instagram this morning and says, it

1886
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:13,640
Speaker 22: was a pretty cool day. I'm just thankful love that

1887
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 22: that guy's having such a fun time being a Buffalo

1888
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:19,840
Speaker 22: Bill this season, the Jets first half went like this,

1889
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:23,559
Speaker 22: turnover on downs, interception, safety.

1890
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 8: That's about how.

1891
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:27,320
Speaker 22: The entire game went for the Jets. On offense, the

1892
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:29,439
Speaker 22: pass rush came alive in this one, and I think

1893
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:32,640
Speaker 22: we really needed to see a game where the defensive

1894
01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:35,000
Speaker 22: line took over before the playoffs. That was on my

1895
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 22: wish list of what I wanted to see in Week seventeen,

1896
01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 22: and it came true. Also, we got to give a

1897
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:45,679
Speaker 22: kudos here to Steve Tasker because he called the Big

1898
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:48,840
Speaker 22: Man interception. He said, I'm feeling it. I'm feeling it.

1899
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:50,799
Speaker 22: I think the defense is going to get a takeaway.

1900
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 22: Then he reiterated it like a play before it actually happened,

1901
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 22: and the booth went wild as Chris Brown and Eric

1902
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 22: would are calling the game wonderfully. We're on the back bench.

1903
01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 8: Like Steve Tasker. Right, I got it. When I started

1904
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:08,240
Speaker 8: the drive, I said this, this series is going to

1905
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:10,240
Speaker 8: end with a turnover. This how it's going to get

1906
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:11,640
Speaker 8: back to the bills. They're gonna get a turnover. And

1907
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:14,200
Speaker 8: then they went from their territory all the way down,

1908
01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:17,320
Speaker 8: and you know, everybody's kind of talking about the plays

1909
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:18,960
Speaker 8: that were going on and how the drive was going,

1910
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:20,880
Speaker 8: you know, penalties and all of that, and then I said,

1911
01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:24,320
Speaker 8: don't forget this is this is still the series where

1912
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:27,080
Speaker 8: they're going to turn it over. And then the Big

1913
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:31,240
Speaker 8: Man comes down with boot and I was vindicated. They

1914
01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 8: were okay, right again Brownie. How about it.

1915
01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:37,240
Speaker 3: You're on a roll, man, You're you're ascending into the

1916
01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:42,360
Speaker 3: postseason as well. We'll be looking forward some other predictions here.

1917
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:43,160
Speaker 8: I gotta stay healthy.

1918
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:45,400
Speaker 3: We got to put them on the put him on

1919
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:48,280
Speaker 3: the whiteboard, all right. The Tone Setter.

1920
01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:52,519
Speaker 22: Award Tone Setter defensive end Greg grew So, hello, you

1921
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:55,800
Speaker 22: big man. You had a great day. He set the

1922
01:41:55,840 --> 01:41:59,000
Speaker 22: tone for the defense. He had a fourth down stop

1923
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:03,639
Speaker 22: on the Jets' first drive of the game. Groussau also

1924
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:07,080
Speaker 22: had a tipped pass that turned into an interception and

1925
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:10,679
Speaker 22: a half sack. McDermott said after the game. Greg Grussou

1926
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 22: is one of our best players, and our best players

1927
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,960
Speaker 22: need to play like that every single week. Rousseau, I

1928
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,800
Speaker 22: think has proven this year that hey, I can step

1929
01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:21,479
Speaker 22: up in those big opportunities when the defense needs to

1930
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:24,720
Speaker 22: come alive. I'm gonna be there to take down the quarterback,

1931
01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 22: to help tip a pass, to help my offense out

1932
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:29,920
Speaker 22: by giving the ball back to them. He has a

1933
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:32,879
Speaker 22: career high eight and a half sacks twenty four quarterback

1934
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 22: hits this season. He's such a talented pass rusher. He's

1935
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 22: proven that with his get off and his arm length,

1936
01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 22: he's got an eighty three inch wingspan that you can't

1937
01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:46,120
Speaker 22: get away from. When he's going after a quarterback, you

1938
01:42:46,160 --> 01:42:47,679
Speaker 22: cannot get away from his reach.

1939
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:51,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's been consistent all season long. I would

1940
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:54,559
Speaker 3: argue he's probably the most consistent defensive lineman the Bills

1941
01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:57,520
Speaker 3: have had this season. If you go look at his numbers,

1942
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:01,640
Speaker 3: they might even surprise you. But you know, he's got

1943
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 3: a new single season career high for sacks. But if

1944
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:07,320
Speaker 3: you look at his tackles for loss, his quarterback pressures,

1945
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 3: he's in the top ten in the league. And it's

1946
01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:12,560
Speaker 3: he's kind of done that quietly, do you know what

1947
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:14,680
Speaker 3: I mean. Like's not he doesn't seem to get the

1948
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:17,519
Speaker 3: headlines that a lot of other guys around the league get,

1949
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:19,960
Speaker 3: and it's because he's kind of a soft spoken guy himself.

1950
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:22,000
Speaker 3: But man, does he make an impact on gys.

1951
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:24,400
Speaker 8: He uses his length to great effect. I mean, right here,

1952
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 8: you see him tipping the pass to Jordan Phillips and

1953
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:30,640
Speaker 8: just plays like that. He is. I think that's the

1954
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:35,799
Speaker 8: thing that I notice about He's just always on the field.

1955
01:43:35,800 --> 01:43:41,640
Speaker 8: He's always in position, he's he's dependable, available. You know,

1956
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:43,920
Speaker 8: it never comes off the field. Rarely gets injured, plays

1957
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:48,639
Speaker 8: through when he's gets hurt. He's been a constant ever

1958
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,880
Speaker 8: since he was drafted, and I think the fact that

1959
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,160
Speaker 8: his floor is so high is one of the things

1960
01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:56,000
Speaker 8: that I think is most impressive about him.

1961
01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:59,000
Speaker 3: All Right, we go to the can't be stopped award.

1962
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:03,679
Speaker 22: Can't be this Buffalo Bills team cannot be stopped at home?

1963
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:06,720
Speaker 22: Eight to zero in the regular season. They just do

1964
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 22: that for the third time in team history, the first

1965
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:13,800
Speaker 22: time since nineteen ninety. They're averaging thirty four points per

1966
01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:17,439
Speaker 22: game at home and allowing under twenty points per game

1967
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 22: at home seventeen point six to be exact. This is

1968
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 22: what you want to see out of this group. Who's

1969
01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:27,880
Speaker 22: gonna need to defend home dirt, home turf against the playoffs.

1970
01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:30,639
Speaker 22: Whoever comes in here to play in the first couple

1971
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:32,800
Speaker 22: round of the playoffs. Who knows, maybe we could be

1972
01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:36,280
Speaker 22: hosting an AFC Championship game here too as well. You

1973
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:39,320
Speaker 22: need to play great at home, and this team has

1974
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 22: done that all season long. This is not just an

1975
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:44,679
Speaker 22: award for the guys on the field. This is also

1976
01:44:44,800 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 22: an award for our fans because they bring in every

1977
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:51,200
Speaker 22: single home game and they're gonna need to continue to

1978
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:52,080
Speaker 22: bring it in the playoffs.

1979
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got a false start called on the jets

1980
01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 3: O line there when they were backed up deep in

1981
01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:59,800
Speaker 3: their own territory on the scoreboard end, and then yeah,

1982
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:04,240
Speaker 3: safety happened soon thereafter. So there it is just a

1983
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:07,080
Speaker 3: small example of the impact that the crowd has had.

1984
01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:08,719
Speaker 8: Then you got the hacks off award.

1985
01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:12,479
Speaker 22: Hats off to some of our backups who got some

1986
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:14,960
Speaker 22: meaningful snaps in this one. At the end of the game,

1987
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,160
Speaker 22: the Bills are up thirty three to nothing heading into

1988
01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 22: the fourth quarter, so Josh Allen takes a seat and

1989
01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 22: incomes some of the backups. Mitchell Trubisky and Tyrell Shavers

1990
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:27,120
Speaker 22: is who I want to highlight because Trubisky tosses a

1991
01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 22: ball over to wide receiver Tyrell Shavers, who takes it

1992
01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 22: sixty nine yards to the house. He does his best

1993
01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 22: impression of Khalil Shakir with those yak yards on that play.

1994
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:43,679
Speaker 22: Hats off to those two who work their butts off

1995
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:49,080
Speaker 22: every single week and practices helping out each other, helping

1996
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:52,400
Speaker 22: out their position groups. You want to know how close

1997
01:45:52,520 --> 01:45:56,760
Speaker 22: this team is, just watch how the sideline celebrated after

1998
01:45:56,880 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 22: Tyrell Shavers came off the field after scoring that touchdown,

1999
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:05,320
Speaker 22: the sideline erupted for him and Mitchell Trubisky, and rightfully so,

2000
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:08,000
Speaker 22: because they are such a big part of this group.

2001
01:46:08,040 --> 01:46:10,880
Speaker 22: Even though they're not starting every single week, they're still

2002
01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:12,439
Speaker 22: a really big part of this operation.

2003
01:46:12,880 --> 01:46:16,880
Speaker 3: First target, first reception, Yeah, first touchdown, all in the

2004
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,560
Speaker 3: same package.

2005
01:46:18,200 --> 01:46:24,280
Speaker 8: It is. It's kind of a culture moment when they

2006
01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:25,960
Speaker 8: show through once in a while and we talk about

2007
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:27,960
Speaker 8: it all the time and some people are thinking's some

2008
01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:31,840
Speaker 8: sort of secretive thing, and it's really speaks about the

2009
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:34,840
Speaker 8: affection the players have for each other, and we talk

2010
01:46:34,880 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 8: about it all the time about how it's a really

2011
01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:39,719
Speaker 8: difficult game to play because it's physically demanding and it's

2012
01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:44,519
Speaker 8: physically punishing, and guys appreciate each other. And to have

2013
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 8: a guy work as hard as he has, like Shavers

2014
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:49,880
Speaker 8: obviously has, and to have all the other guys on

2015
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:52,080
Speaker 8: the team who play in week in, week out or

2016
01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:55,320
Speaker 8: out there and Shavers gets up and does that and

2017
01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 8: to see how happy they are for him. That was

2018
01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:00,160
Speaker 8: a kind of a Sean McDermott moment as much, which

2019
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:01,800
Speaker 8: was a Terrell Shavers and he.

2020
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 3: Got a game ball in the postgame locker room coach

2021
01:47:04,400 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 3: game a game ball. You know, he said, Guy's been

2022
01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:08,920
Speaker 3: working his tail off the last three years. Hasn't been

2023
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 3: on the active roster, but has been elevated from the

2024
01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:14,040
Speaker 3: practice squad three times and made the most of his

2025
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:17,720
Speaker 3: opportunity yesterday, obviously, and you see him take the ball

2026
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:20,000
Speaker 3: from coach and you can read his lips as he's

2027
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:22,240
Speaker 3: talking in coaches here while everybody else is hooting and holler,

2028
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:22,879
Speaker 3: and he says.

2029
01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:23,040
Speaker 8: I love you.

2030
01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:26,040
Speaker 3: That's what he said to coach. So feel good moment

2031
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:29,920
Speaker 3: for the X Factor Award.

2032
01:47:30,160 --> 01:47:34,639
Speaker 22: The X factor is our diversity on offense. The fact

2033
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:39,040
Speaker 22: that thirteen different players have caught a touchdown pass this season.

2034
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:42,240
Speaker 22: It ties for the most in NFL history. This X

2035
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:45,479
Speaker 22: factor on offense this season has been their ability to

2036
01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:49,320
Speaker 22: get different guys involved every single game. This team went

2037
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:52,400
Speaker 22: into the season with a mantra of everybody's going to

2038
01:47:52,439 --> 01:47:55,120
Speaker 22: eat on offense. We didn't know what exactly that would

2039
01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:58,479
Speaker 22: look like, but we've seen throughout the entire season different

2040
01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:01,720
Speaker 22: guys are featured on different weeks and what it's resulted

2041
01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:04,000
Speaker 22: in is the fact that this is really hard to

2042
01:48:04,080 --> 01:48:07,080
Speaker 22: prepare for. Defenses don't always know what's going to come

2043
01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:09,680
Speaker 22: at them? Because you've got to practice squad player and

2044
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:12,880
Speaker 22: Tyrrel Shaver is scoring a touchdown this pass game. You've

2045
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:16,240
Speaker 22: got a running back and ty Johnson catching ball after

2046
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:19,360
Speaker 22: ball in the previous few weeks. You have to prepare

2047
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:20,080
Speaker 22: for everything.

2048
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, And I'm glad here, I'm and just real quick,

2049
01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 8: your your next award Best Moment Award. I saw this

2050
01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 8: today and what do you think? I thought it was

2051
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 8: absolutely awesome. Uh, some of the stuff that happened. Jets

2052
01:48:38,479 --> 01:48:40,760
Speaker 8: coaches came into the press box and they were fired up.

2053
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 8: They were they were kind of making an over broadcast

2054
01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:45,400
Speaker 8: both in the broadcast booth area where they're they come

2055
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 8: up and they have they have a booth over next

2056
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:49,559
Speaker 8: door to everybody, like the you see that on camera

2057
01:48:49,560 --> 01:48:50,880
Speaker 8: every once in a while, where the coaches are up

2058
01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:53,080
Speaker 8: in their booth. Well that's over on the sideline where

2059
01:48:53,120 --> 01:48:56,519
Speaker 8: Brownie and and Jim Nansen, Tony Romo and Eric Wood

2060
01:48:56,520 --> 01:48:58,880
Speaker 8: and all these broadcasts and the Jet broadcasters roll in.

2061
01:48:58,920 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 8: That's place together and there's a booth here and a

2062
01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:03,000
Speaker 8: booth here in a booth here, the Jets coaches come

2063
01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:04,960
Speaker 8: in and they were hooting and hollering in high five

2064
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:09,120
Speaker 8: and which is it's uncommon. They're usually very respective. But

2065
01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:11,439
Speaker 8: the Jets coach coach came in and made a big deal.

2066
01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:14,599
Speaker 8: So also down in the tunnel there was a lot

2067
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 8: of hooping and hollering going on by the Jets players.

2068
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:18,559
Speaker 8: They were kind of putting on a show that they

2069
01:49:18,560 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 8: were fired up and ready to go. And then they

2070
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:22,880
Speaker 8: also had this thing or they were coming down to

2071
01:49:22,880 --> 01:49:25,760
Speaker 8: warm up and they got a guy with a boom box. Yeah,

2072
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 8: they got a high for this. They got a hype

2073
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:31,479
Speaker 8: guy with this three byte two foot by three foot

2074
01:49:31,479 --> 01:49:32,480
Speaker 8: boom box.

2075
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:35,360
Speaker 22: Which fine, if that's who you want to be, fine.

2076
01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:36,960
Speaker 8: Right, And of course the game went how it is

2077
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:38,760
Speaker 8: and they were there's some memes going around about what

2078
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:42,360
Speaker 8: the music was playing. But then from the other angle,

2079
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:45,880
Speaker 8: there's a picture. There's look at that there Josh is

2080
01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:47,559
Speaker 8: looking over their show. They're walking by.

2081
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:49,599
Speaker 3: Josh, take it away.

2082
01:49:49,720 --> 01:49:50,479
Speaker 8: This is awesome.

2083
01:49:51,640 --> 01:49:54,240
Speaker 22: I loved it. I saw this on social media this morning.

2084
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:56,240
Speaker 22: I didn't see it last night. So when I woke

2085
01:49:56,320 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 22: up to this and this was on my timeline on X,

2086
01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:03,000
Speaker 22: I just I smiled because it is such a funny moment.

2087
01:50:03,040 --> 01:50:04,960
Speaker 22: You have Josh Allen, who's about to go on to

2088
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:07,559
Speaker 22: the field, is just kind of peeking out. Probably he

2089
01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:10,760
Speaker 22: heard some noise, he heard Gangster's Paradise playing, which was

2090
01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:14,800
Speaker 22: what was booming on that boom box. And Alan just

2091
01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:18,439
Speaker 22: has the slightest smirk on his face in this photo.

2092
01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:21,960
Speaker 22: It's just kind of like, Hey, I'm enjoying this moment.

2093
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:25,559
Speaker 22: I'm enjoying watching what's happening right now. And the best

2094
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:29,080
Speaker 22: part is the before and after, because here's the before

2095
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:32,400
Speaker 22: the Jets are taking the field, Alan is watching them

2096
01:50:32,439 --> 01:50:35,200
Speaker 22: walk by, and then the after is the fact that

2097
01:50:35,360 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 22: Buffalo's offense hung forty points on that team.

2098
01:50:38,720 --> 01:50:43,000
Speaker 3: Yes, there have since been some other songs laid under

2099
01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:46,559
Speaker 3: that video. There are not Gangster's Paradise by Coolio rest

2100
01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:51,040
Speaker 3: in Peace. The Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song has been

2101
01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:56,760
Speaker 3: used here, among others. So make of it what you will.

2102
01:50:56,800 --> 01:50:58,800
Speaker 3: When you put yourselves out there like that, you do

2103
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:02,200
Speaker 3: run the risk of, yeah, when you're on the wrong

2104
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:03,080
Speaker 3: end of a thirty.

2105
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:05,519
Speaker 8: Six point A lot of people aren't privy to the

2106
01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:08,080
Speaker 8: stuff we see because like Europe in the tunnel like this,

2107
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:10,360
Speaker 8: now you are because of social media, and you know,

2108
01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:12,400
Speaker 8: the Jets were keeping track of that they were filming

2109
01:51:12,439 --> 01:51:15,680
Speaker 8: it just like you know, Bill's people were and the

2110
01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:17,519
Speaker 8: media people up in the booth. We we kind of

2111
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:19,519
Speaker 8: get to see some things nobody else does. And it

2112
01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:24,240
Speaker 8: was clear the Jets came in. Olbrick had those guys saying, listen,

2113
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:26,439
Speaker 8: go in there believing you can win, and let's see

2114
01:51:26,479 --> 01:51:29,479
Speaker 8: some emotion. Let's let's show them how ready we are

2115
01:51:29,720 --> 01:51:33,720
Speaker 8: and show them. Well, they did it pregame with you know,

2116
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:36,360
Speaker 8: the hype guy and the coaches going up to the

2117
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:38,000
Speaker 8: booth and all that, but once it kicked off, it

2118
01:51:38,120 --> 01:51:40,880
Speaker 8: not so much. But I don't think it's any question

2119
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:43,280
Speaker 8: Albric's doing the best he can. He's trying to get

2120
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 8: you know, yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do

2121
01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:46,680
Speaker 8: what you gotta do.

2122
01:51:46,760 --> 01:51:49,120
Speaker 22: I get it and get everybody in and out of

2123
01:51:49,160 --> 01:51:50,479
Speaker 22: every single NFL week.

2124
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:52,599
Speaker 8: But it's typical of a bad season.

2125
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:52,880
Speaker 3: Man.

2126
01:51:53,920 --> 01:51:55,439
Speaker 8: You can't save it. Once it's gone.

2127
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:57,640
Speaker 3: It is amazing And we talked about this on the

2128
01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:01,360
Speaker 3: broadcast yesterday what a turning point Week six was for

2129
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:04,000
Speaker 3: both of these franchises. The Bills had lost back to

2130
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:06,360
Speaker 3: back games, had fallen to three and two on the season,

2131
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:08,200
Speaker 3: and the Jets were also three and two, and the

2132
01:52:08,240 --> 01:52:10,479
Speaker 3: winner of that game in Week six was gonna be

2133
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:13,439
Speaker 3: in first place in the AFC East. Bills win the

2134
01:52:13,479 --> 01:52:16,719
Speaker 3: game by the skin of their teeth because Greg Zerline

2135
01:52:16,760 --> 01:52:19,240
Speaker 3: claying two off the left upright in that game, and

2136
01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:22,800
Speaker 3: the Jets lose by three. I mean, remember Robert sala

2137
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,960
Speaker 3: Is fired the next week. Yeah, and then we all

2138
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:27,679
Speaker 3: know what happened after that to both teams.

2139
01:52:27,880 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 22: Remember what people were saying before the season started when

2140
01:52:31,439 --> 01:52:34,200
Speaker 22: it came to the AFC East and how it was

2141
01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:37,439
Speaker 22: going to play out as we looked into Week one

2142
01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:39,280
Speaker 22: and beyond, it was the Bills are going to take

2143
01:52:39,280 --> 01:52:41,280
Speaker 22: a step back. They're not going to win the division

2144
01:52:41,320 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 22: this season. You've got other teams that are going to

2145
01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:47,519
Speaker 22: take front center stage here. You've got a Jets team

2146
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:50,320
Speaker 22: with a healthy Aaron Rodgers and a great defense. Let's

2147
01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:52,879
Speaker 22: see what they can do. You've got a Miami Dolphins

2148
01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 22: team who still has talent on offense. The Patriots certainly rebuilding,

2149
01:52:57,520 --> 01:53:00,559
Speaker 22: but with a quarterback who they believe in. We've seen

2150
01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:03,080
Speaker 22: Drake may as a good quarterback. Not that the Patriots

2151
01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:05,320
Speaker 22: were gonna try and take the AFC East this year,

2152
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:09,760
Speaker 22: but even just looking beyond this season and into the

2153
01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:12,280
Speaker 22: next few seasons for what the AFC East is going

2154
01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 22: to look like. What's gonna happen to the New York Jets.

2155
01:53:15,320 --> 01:53:17,080
Speaker 22: We don't know who's gonna be their head coach. We

2156
01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:17,840
Speaker 22: don't know who's going.

2157
01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:18,760
Speaker 8: To be their quarterback.

2158
01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:21,240
Speaker 22: The Patriots have their guy that they're gonna try and

2159
01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 22: build around. They could have the first pick in the

2160
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:27,240
Speaker 22: NFL Draft depending on what happens in this final game.

2161
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:29,679
Speaker 22: But you look at the Miami Dolphins too, and there's

2162
01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:33,160
Speaker 22: questions surrounding that team on offense and what they have

2163
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:35,800
Speaker 22: become this season, I mean the next few years.

2164
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:36,879
Speaker 3: In the AFC East.

2165
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:40,360
Speaker 22: It could be Buffalo's turn again the next few years

2166
01:53:40,400 --> 01:53:42,920
Speaker 22: to keep winning the division title.

2167
01:53:43,640 --> 01:53:47,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Jets certainly have some really high level decisions

2168
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:52,719
Speaker 8: they've got to make head coach GM. The Dolphins they've

2169
01:53:52,720 --> 01:53:54,960
Speaker 8: got to be doing some soul searching because they've got

2170
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:57,240
Speaker 8: a guy here taking snaps in Buffalo who they can't

2171
01:53:57,240 --> 01:54:01,600
Speaker 8: find a way to beat as head coach or or quarterback.

2172
01:54:02,280 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 8: And the Patriots they just got shellacked forty to seven

2173
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:09,439
Speaker 8: and it was non competitive, and you gotta think maybe

2174
01:54:09,479 --> 01:54:12,599
Speaker 8: they're gonna change head coaches again with the new quarterback

2175
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:14,320
Speaker 8: that they've gotten there there, and they're gonna have the

2176
01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:16,920
Speaker 8: first pick of the draft. So all three of those

2177
01:54:16,960 --> 01:54:22,800
Speaker 8: teams are not I mean, it's not pretty. Although the

2178
01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:25,639
Speaker 8: Dolphins got a chance to get into the playoffs seas,

2179
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:27,080
Speaker 8: they do have a chance to get in. But man,

2180
01:54:27,120 --> 01:54:28,400
Speaker 8: they gotta be sitting there looking at what are we

2181
01:54:28,400 --> 01:54:31,080
Speaker 8: gonna do. We're gonna go to Buffalo if we're the

2182
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:31,599
Speaker 8: seven seed.

2183
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:33,440
Speaker 3: We're going to Buffalo, and there's a lot of snow

2184
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:35,080
Speaker 3: in the forecast for the last ten days.

2185
01:54:35,600 --> 01:54:38,360
Speaker 8: It's you know, they're they're just they've got to feel

2186
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:40,600
Speaker 8: like they're banging their head against the wall. They felt

2187
01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:43,600
Speaker 8: like or maybe they do, maybe they do. Maybe they

2188
01:54:43,640 --> 01:54:47,879
Speaker 8: don't feel like. They've got their quarterback and they've supported

2189
01:54:47,920 --> 01:54:52,640
Speaker 8: him as best they can head coach the players around him.

2190
01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:56,520
Speaker 8: They can't get it done now. They did play extremely

2191
01:54:56,560 --> 01:54:59,120
Speaker 8: well offensively here in Buffalo when the Bills beat him

2192
01:54:59,120 --> 01:55:02,080
Speaker 8: this last time. The very tight game in their offense

2193
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:05,040
Speaker 8: was very efficient and they got some stuff done, so

2194
01:55:05,080 --> 01:55:08,040
Speaker 8: they were close. But man, oh man, they've got a

2195
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:12,000
Speaker 8: feel like they're seriously banging their head against a wall.

2196
01:55:13,880 --> 01:55:16,960
Speaker 3: So those are the Maddie Awards for Week seventeen. Thanks

2197
01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:20,120
Speaker 3: for providing those, Maddie, and we'll see if we catch

2198
01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:23,520
Speaker 3: up with you next week. Getting into the postseason, the

2199
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:27,160
Speaker 3: last regular season edition of the Maddie Awards hopefully has

2200
01:55:27,240 --> 01:55:29,720
Speaker 3: a Week eighteen edition. Got to take a break here

2201
01:55:29,800 --> 01:55:31,320
Speaker 3: more of your phone calls when we return on a

2202
01:55:31,320 --> 01:55:32,360
Speaker 3: Buffalo victory Monday.

2203
01:55:32,400 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 6: Stay with us.

2204
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:52,160
Speaker 3: All right back here on One Bill's Live before we

2205
01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:55,400
Speaker 3: get back to the phones. A quick Week eighteen update

2206
01:55:55,480 --> 01:55:57,760
Speaker 3: concerning the Dolphins who play the Jets. As you know,

2207
01:55:57,880 --> 01:55:59,680
Speaker 3: Tua did not play this past week due to a

2208
01:55:59,720 --> 01:56:03,200
Speaker 3: hippie injury that popped up on Friday. Tyler Huntley had

2209
01:56:03,200 --> 01:56:05,240
Speaker 3: to play quarterback for them. They did win the game,

2210
01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:08,560
Speaker 3: so they're still alive for a seven seed playoff Berth

2211
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:11,040
Speaker 3: provided they win and get some help. But to his

2212
01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 3: status unknown for Sunday. According to reporters down there in

2213
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:19,400
Speaker 3: South Florida, Mike McDaniel said the Dolphins are still very

2214
01:56:19,480 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 3: much in the unknown when it comes to a status

2215
01:56:22,440 --> 01:56:27,040
Speaker 3: for Week eighteen against the Jets. McDaniel did tell reporters

2216
01:56:27,520 --> 01:56:30,640
Speaker 3: that Huntley will get more reps than two of this week,

2217
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:34,720
Speaker 3: but they will prepare game plans for both quarterbacks, and

2218
01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:37,080
Speaker 3: those two quarterbacks could not be more different in terms

2219
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:40,960
Speaker 3: of skill sets. Yeah, which is why you'll have to

2220
01:56:41,040 --> 01:56:44,520
Speaker 3: have two plans. I don't know, that's kind of iffy.

2221
01:56:44,800 --> 01:56:51,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, very They're playing the Jets team they know extremely well,

2222
01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:56,080
Speaker 8: and who knows them. We'll see that.

2223
01:56:56,240 --> 01:56:59,760
Speaker 3: I would perceived as good news for Cincinnati.

2224
01:56:59,240 --> 01:57:03,520
Speaker 8: Right right. I'm sorry, though, whatever, who cares.

2225
01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:05,280
Speaker 3: Let's go back to the fight.

2226
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:06,520
Speaker 8: Let them win their games.

2227
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:09,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, back to the phones and we go to Mark

2228
01:57:09,480 --> 01:57:11,080
Speaker 3: in Jersey City next. What's up Mark?

2229
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:14,680
Speaker 23: Good afternoon, gentlemen, Thanks for taking my call. I had

2230
01:57:14,720 --> 01:57:16,720
Speaker 23: a little trepidation going in this game is the way

2231
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:19,320
Speaker 23: the past defenses looked in the last you know, a

2232
01:57:19,440 --> 01:57:23,000
Speaker 23: few weeks, more than a few weeks. But they held

2233
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:25,400
Speaker 23: it down pretty well. I thought that was Bishop's best game,

2234
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:27,960
Speaker 23: you know, aside from what happened late the friends and

2235
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,440
Speaker 23: family touchdown to Concline. I thought he was really good.

2236
01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:34,440
Speaker 23: And you guys talked about wrinkles, maybe a three safety

2237
01:57:34,440 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 23: look like they were doing last year until Rapp got injured.

2238
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:40,600
Speaker 23: He's another guy that missed the playoffs on the you know,

2239
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:42,680
Speaker 23: his calf, and they were just a mash unit on

2240
01:57:42,720 --> 01:57:46,000
Speaker 23: the back seven there. It was, that's something that they

2241
01:57:46,040 --> 01:57:48,440
Speaker 23: could throw in their aside from the extra linebacker. I

2242
01:57:48,480 --> 01:57:49,920
Speaker 23: was just wanting to hear your thoughts on that, and

2243
01:57:49,960 --> 01:57:52,040
Speaker 23: since you were, you kind of stole my I was

2244
01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:54,040
Speaker 23: gonna ask you, guys a question. You worked with him

2245
01:57:54,280 --> 01:57:58,360
Speaker 23: in different capacities, Steve, you played with him. If newl

2246
01:57:58,520 --> 01:58:00,680
Speaker 23: New England is pretty much gonna they said that they've

2247
01:58:00,720 --> 01:58:03,480
Speaker 23: already going to keep mail, but it seems like a

2248
01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:05,040
Speaker 23: VP is going to be the fall guy. Is he

2249
01:58:05,080 --> 01:58:07,880
Speaker 23: a guy you think could work with Josh be back

2250
01:58:07,920 --> 01:58:10,000
Speaker 23: in Buffalo? How do you think that dynamic would work?

2251
01:58:10,040 --> 01:58:11,560
Speaker 23: Thanks for taking my call, guys.

2252
01:58:11,360 --> 01:58:15,320
Speaker 8: You bet, I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

2253
01:58:15,360 --> 01:58:16,880
Speaker 8: I think they're pretty They must be pretty happy. They

2254
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:18,520
Speaker 8: got to be prett happy with what Joe Brady's done.

2255
01:58:19,320 --> 01:58:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you just set the record for most

2256
01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:23,680
Speaker 3: points scored in the season. I guess you're assuming maybe

2257
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 3: he's saying that under the guys of could he get

2258
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:29,080
Speaker 3: a head coaching job somewhere this offseason? He did interview

2259
01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:31,560
Speaker 3: for a couple of jobs last Joe.

2260
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:35,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh wow, Okay, I see that. Yeah, And he.

2261
01:58:35,440 --> 01:58:39,120
Speaker 3: Would presumably if that happened. Bring quarterbacks coach Ronald Curry

2262
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:43,240
Speaker 3: with him, right, which would then create the void.

2263
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:48,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's interesting because if you know, depending on

2264
01:58:48,760 --> 01:58:51,040
Speaker 8: how the Bills look down the stretch and what teams

2265
01:58:51,040 --> 01:58:54,320
Speaker 8: see in Buffalo, certainly doing it with the guys they've

2266
01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:56,680
Speaker 8: done it with offensively, with all the question marks they

2267
01:58:56,720 --> 01:58:57,360
Speaker 8: had coming in.

2268
01:58:58,320 --> 01:58:58,720
Speaker 19: They have.

2269
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:04,920
Speaker 8: Made chicken salad very much so. And you know, they

2270
01:59:04,920 --> 01:59:08,960
Speaker 8: scored more points than anybody in franchise history. So yeah,

2271
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:14,360
Speaker 8: they're gonna be some pretty hot commodities. I don't know

2272
01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:16,520
Speaker 8: if they'll be as as hot as the guy's out

2273
01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:19,600
Speaker 8: of Detroit, and I can't think of their offensive courter.

2274
01:59:19,640 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 8: Ben Johnson is a hot commodity as well, but he

2275
01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:27,520
Speaker 8: has been very particular about which opportunity he would say

2276
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:33,760
Speaker 8: yes to. So he said no a couple of times. Apparently, Yes, absolutely,

2277
01:59:33,800 --> 01:59:36,200
Speaker 8: Alex van Pelt would be on the list of guys.

2278
01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:39,560
Speaker 8: I'm sure Alex has no problem coming back and working

2279
01:59:39,600 --> 01:59:41,640
Speaker 8: in Buffalo if he was, if he was out of

2280
01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:45,160
Speaker 8: work and wanted to job on all that stuff. He is.

2281
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:48,720
Speaker 8: You know, he's a former teammate of mine, played here,

2282
01:59:48,840 --> 01:59:54,000
Speaker 8: had some good years here, and yeah, he would be

2283
01:59:54,040 --> 01:59:59,680
Speaker 8: a guy very familiar with the city and the team. So, yeah,

2284
01:59:59,720 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 8: that's possibility. And I haven't really I hadn't really. I

2285
02:00:02,040 --> 02:00:04,280
Speaker 8: got to tell you Mark, I hadn't really thought about

2286
02:00:04,280 --> 02:00:06,440
Speaker 8: any of this from this angle of the end of

2287
02:00:06,440 --> 02:00:10,480
Speaker 8: the season at all, where coaches might leave, come back, stay,

2288
02:00:10,520 --> 02:00:14,000
Speaker 8: get hired away. That's something I hadn't given us any

2289
02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:14,400
Speaker 8: thought to.

2290
02:00:15,080 --> 02:00:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's only more shine on Joe Brady if

2291
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:19,400
Speaker 3: Josh Allen wins MVP.

2292
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:20,120
Speaker 8: As well, that's right.

2293
02:00:20,160 --> 02:00:23,600
Speaker 3: So just something to keep in mind when, if, and

2294
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:26,040
Speaker 3: when the season does come to a conclusion, hopefully that's

2295
02:00:26,080 --> 02:00:29,240
Speaker 3: in middle of February. We go to who we got

2296
02:00:29,320 --> 02:00:31,880
Speaker 3: here's been waiting the longest We've got John and Detroit. Next,

2297
02:00:31,920 --> 02:00:32,600
Speaker 3: what's up John?

2298
02:00:33,680 --> 02:00:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hello, gentlemen, Happy Monday. First of all, I got

2299
02:00:37,560 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 2: a couple of shoutouts versus for Chris ed and Steve

2300
02:00:41,480 --> 02:00:45,720
Speaker 2: as I make my eighth Victory Day trip home, and

2301
02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:48,520
Speaker 2: you gentlemen do it every time they make my three

2302
02:00:48,560 --> 02:00:51,520
Speaker 2: hour trip see Mike, well three hours of my trip

2303
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:56,120
Speaker 2: see Mike three minutes. So your professionalism and knowledge, et

2304
02:00:56,200 --> 02:01:00,640
Speaker 2: cetera certainly make it a lot easier and a good

2305
02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:04,880
Speaker 2: job you spend health service. And second, I call it

2306
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:10,600
Speaker 2: late Friday, and encouraged the twelfth Man Buffalo Mafia, everybody

2307
02:01:10,640 --> 02:01:17,240
Speaker 2: included to make mister Rogers neighborhood very interrupting. And we

2308
02:01:17,360 --> 02:01:19,640
Speaker 2: did a good job of it, in fact, so well

2309
02:01:19,680 --> 02:01:23,240
Speaker 2: we prevented him from his five hundred touchdown and he

2310
02:01:23,320 --> 02:01:26,280
Speaker 2: had to leave the game early. So that two big

2311
02:01:27,040 --> 02:01:29,520
Speaker 2: kudos there, And of course the Bills had a lot

2312
02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:32,040
Speaker 2: to do that too, But I thought the mafia and

2313
02:01:32,120 --> 02:01:34,920
Speaker 2: the whole the stadium was some of the loudest I

2314
02:01:35,040 --> 02:01:39,720
Speaker 2: heard all season. So and finally, in the upcoming schedule,

2315
02:01:39,760 --> 02:01:42,240
Speaker 2: this is just a little prediction. I know it's kind

2316
02:01:42,240 --> 02:01:45,760
Speaker 2: of early, but they just announced today the Bills will

2317
02:01:45,800 --> 02:01:49,640
Speaker 2: be opening Thursday night, September fourth, because that's where the

2318
02:01:49,640 --> 02:01:53,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowl champions traditionally get placed. Now, and I say

2319
02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:56,400
Speaker 2: we should open up against either the Ravens or the Eagles,

2320
02:01:56,480 --> 02:02:01,240
Speaker 2: which make a good national audience. And then fourteenth, we

2321
02:02:01,400 --> 02:02:04,840
Speaker 2: become the first NFL team to play in Spain. Let

2322
02:02:04,920 --> 02:02:08,640
Speaker 2: the Bills go to Barcelona and we'll have Mahomes versus

2323
02:02:09,040 --> 02:02:12,560
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. Now, if that doesn't get Spain fired up

2324
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:16,320
Speaker 2: about NFL football, I don't know what else would and Biby,

2325
02:02:16,320 --> 02:02:20,600
Speaker 2: Steve and THURMANBB guys could do a bullfighting exhibition.

2326
02:02:20,720 --> 02:02:23,480
Speaker 5: Wow, okay, now I'm interested.

2327
02:02:23,600 --> 02:02:26,280
Speaker 8: And yeah, John just went off the rails with that one.

2328
02:02:27,040 --> 02:02:29,280
Speaker 8: I went completely authorized. Yea, I had you had me

2329
02:02:29,640 --> 02:02:33,200
Speaker 8: at Barcelona and then with the bullfighting with me and Thurman,

2330
02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:36,280
Speaker 8: You're dummy. Yeah, sorry, I appreciate I dreamt that.

2331
02:02:37,520 --> 02:02:40,000
Speaker 3: All right, Well, enjoy the rest of your drive, John,

2332
02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:43,480
Speaker 3: thanks for the call. Yeah, well we'll see if John's

2333
02:02:43,480 --> 02:02:46,400
Speaker 3: the soothsayer, we'll see what happens with the Bills schedule

2334
02:02:46,440 --> 02:02:50,400
Speaker 3: next year. And yes, the defending Super Bowl champ plays

2335
02:02:50,440 --> 02:02:55,240
Speaker 3: on kickoff weekend. Usually it's a home game, so yeah,

2336
02:02:55,360 --> 02:02:58,640
Speaker 3: we'll see. I mean, they certainly have some marquee teams

2337
02:02:58,680 --> 02:03:02,080
Speaker 3: on their schedule for next year, with the likes of Philadelphia,

2338
02:03:02,200 --> 02:03:06,640
Speaker 3: Kansas City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh. So well, Pittsburgh's inn away game,

2339
02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:07,480
Speaker 3: but still.

2340
02:03:07,520 --> 02:03:10,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, Kansas City, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, yep,

2341
02:03:11,160 --> 02:03:12,800
Speaker 8: the three division opponents.

2342
02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:15,720
Speaker 3: So there's some good teams there, Cincinnati.

2343
02:03:15,160 --> 02:03:18,800
Speaker 8: New Orleans, Cincinnati, so there are some good squads. Kansas City.

2344
02:03:19,600 --> 02:03:21,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why, I just kind of have

2345
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:24,360
Speaker 3: this feeling there. There's gonna be an overseas game too,

2346
02:03:24,400 --> 02:03:26,680
Speaker 3: because the AFC teams have the extra home game this

2347
02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:30,280
Speaker 3: year coming up in twenty five, with nine at home,

2348
02:03:30,440 --> 02:03:33,000
Speaker 3: eight on the road. Back to the phones, though, and

2349
02:03:33,080 --> 02:03:35,160
Speaker 3: to Bob and Tonawanda, what do you got for us, Bob?

2350
02:03:36,560 --> 02:03:39,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was just wondering.

2351
02:03:39,080 --> 02:03:41,400
Speaker 1: They signed Micah Hyde a few weeks ago and I

2352
02:03:41,440 --> 02:03:42,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen him on the field.

2353
02:03:42,600 --> 02:03:44,080
Speaker 17: Is he still on the team.

2354
02:03:44,240 --> 02:03:45,880
Speaker 3: He's on the practice press squad.

2355
02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:47,280
Speaker 8: That's probably where he's gonna stay.

2356
02:03:47,760 --> 02:03:50,680
Speaker 3: So he would have to be elevated for a game

2357
02:03:50,720 --> 02:03:54,560
Speaker 3: weekend to be eligible to play. But all indications are

2358
02:03:54,600 --> 02:03:57,120
Speaker 3: the plan was not to really put him on the field.

2359
02:03:57,120 --> 02:03:59,800
Speaker 3: They would have to be like a five alarm fire

2360
02:03:59,840 --> 02:04:03,000
Speaker 3: at the safety position to even consider putting him on

2361
02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:05,680
Speaker 3: the field. I think he's back here to serve as

2362
02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:09,160
Speaker 3: a mentor of sorts and kind of school up young

2363
02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 3: guys like Cole Bishop and the defense and the nuances

2364
02:04:11,800 --> 02:04:12,080
Speaker 3: of it.

2365
02:04:12,400 --> 02:04:14,760
Speaker 8: I'll say this too, Cole Bishop's playing better and better

2366
02:04:14,760 --> 02:04:18,480
Speaker 8: and better, and Michael Hyde might be able to take

2367
02:04:18,520 --> 02:04:24,000
Speaker 8: a little credit for that. And yeah, a five alarm

2368
02:04:24,040 --> 02:04:25,680
Speaker 8: fire is probably what it would take because a three

2369
02:04:25,680 --> 02:04:27,160
Speaker 8: alarm fire didn't do it right.

2370
02:04:28,800 --> 02:04:31,200
Speaker 3: And you know there's an ex surgery in his history,

2371
02:04:31,560 --> 02:04:35,200
Speaker 3: so that's not nothing either and something to consider too.

2372
02:04:36,200 --> 02:04:39,000
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the phones and to Chuck in Chicago.

2373
02:04:39,120 --> 02:04:39,720
Speaker 3: What do you got for us?

2374
02:04:39,800 --> 02:04:43,520
Speaker 24: Chuck, Hey, guys, the last caller just stole my thunder.

2375
02:04:43,560 --> 02:04:45,840
Speaker 24: I was kind of wondering the same thing as Michaeh

2376
02:04:45,880 --> 02:04:48,160
Speaker 24: Hyde would be elevated at least for this game to

2377
02:04:48,200 --> 02:04:50,200
Speaker 24: get a couple of snaps in case we needed them,

2378
02:04:50,400 --> 02:04:52,520
Speaker 24: but you kind of answered that. But I just want

2379
02:04:52,600 --> 02:04:54,840
Speaker 24: to give a shout out to both you guys. Earlier

2380
02:04:54,880 --> 02:04:57,600
Speaker 24: in the season, I think Steve had mentioned that the

2381
02:04:57,600 --> 02:05:00,120
Speaker 24: way the season could turn out is I think he

2382
02:05:00,160 --> 02:05:02,720
Speaker 24: almost predicted, like before the season it would be a

2383
02:05:02,720 --> 02:05:05,720
Speaker 24: couple of rough spots because we were so young, and

2384
02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:08,120
Speaker 24: it might just hit it stride the second half of

2385
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:11,520
Speaker 24: the season, and boy, that's exactly what happened. I just

2386
02:05:11,560 --> 02:05:13,520
Speaker 24: hope we keep them on the show, guys.

2387
02:05:13,600 --> 02:05:16,360
Speaker 3: Thanks Chuck. Yeah, we both kind of thought that there

2388
02:05:16,440 --> 02:05:19,120
Speaker 3: might be some early speed bumps, but I think we

2389
02:05:19,240 --> 02:05:22,640
Speaker 3: kind of shared the opinion that by this time in

2390
02:05:22,720 --> 02:05:25,400
Speaker 3: the season, the Bills would have an even better team

2391
02:05:25,480 --> 02:05:27,480
Speaker 3: than the one they had last year. I remember saying

2392
02:05:27,480 --> 02:05:30,240
Speaker 3: that multiple times, and I think that's what we've got now.

2393
02:05:30,560 --> 02:05:31,840
Speaker 3: And I don't even think it's a debate.

2394
02:05:32,800 --> 02:05:34,840
Speaker 8: Oh this is I think this is the best, the

2395
02:05:34,880 --> 02:05:37,880
Speaker 8: best team they've had in the McDermot era. It may

2396
02:05:37,880 --> 02:05:41,320
Speaker 8: not be the best defensive team in the McDermott era,

2397
02:05:42,040 --> 02:05:46,160
Speaker 8: but it's certainly the most playmaking defense. They almost set

2398
02:05:46,160 --> 02:05:50,000
Speaker 8: a record for turnovers and turnover differential. They're leading the league.

2399
02:05:50,720 --> 02:05:55,960
Speaker 8: They're they're making plays twenty two, they're making plays twenty three.

2400
02:05:56,240 --> 02:06:00,760
Speaker 8: And I have always said I love defense like that.

2401
02:06:01,880 --> 02:06:03,960
Speaker 8: I love of defense that shows up when you really

2402
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:07,400
Speaker 8: need them. And I get it. It's it's always fun

2403
02:06:07,440 --> 02:06:09,600
Speaker 8: to have a team go one, you know, three and out,

2404
02:06:09,640 --> 02:06:11,640
Speaker 8: three and out, three and out, three and out. I mean,

2405
02:06:12,080 --> 02:06:14,840
Speaker 8: I get that, but I think gets unrealistic in this

2406
02:06:14,920 --> 02:06:20,240
Speaker 8: day and age of offense. And so I think there

2407
02:06:20,240 --> 02:06:22,520
Speaker 8: are times when I'm I like the way this defense

2408
02:06:22,640 --> 02:06:24,920
Speaker 8: is built better than some of the other defenses that

2409
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:26,920
Speaker 8: were ranked in the top five in the league, you know,

2410
02:06:27,040 --> 02:06:32,960
Speaker 8: in early and Sean mcdermot's tenure here. Certainly they're more fun.

2411
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:36,280
Speaker 8: I mean, it's nothing as fun as three second half

2412
02:06:36,360 --> 02:06:41,640
Speaker 8: turnovers and a fording to nothing spot. So it's yeah,

2413
02:06:42,160 --> 02:06:45,720
Speaker 8: we yes, Brownie and I were on this. Now we didn't.

2414
02:06:46,120 --> 02:06:48,080
Speaker 8: I'm not going to say we definitively said this was

2415
02:06:48,160 --> 02:06:51,160
Speaker 8: going to happen, but this was This was certainly one

2416
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:53,360
Speaker 8: of the scenarios we outlined as it being one of

2417
02:06:53,360 --> 02:06:59,040
Speaker 8: the positive spin scenarios, and it has come to pass.

2418
02:06:59,360 --> 02:07:01,920
Speaker 8: Their team is number two in the league in scoring,

2419
02:07:01,960 --> 02:07:05,320
Speaker 8: set a franchise record for scoring. Josh is in the

2420
02:07:05,400 --> 02:07:12,080
Speaker 8: MVP conversation, is indeed the favorite. And you've got thirteen

2421
02:07:12,160 --> 02:07:16,560
Speaker 8: guys who are catching touchdown passes and James Cook is

2422
02:07:16,640 --> 02:07:22,040
Speaker 8: leading the league in rushing touchdowns. Yeah it's pretty good. Yeah,

2423
02:07:22,080 --> 02:07:22,800
Speaker 8: it's pretty good.

2424
02:07:23,760 --> 02:07:25,800
Speaker 3: Let's get some of your thoughts on the tweet sheet

2425
02:07:26,160 --> 02:07:28,760
Speaker 3: and tweet sheet brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems,

2426
02:07:28,760 --> 02:07:32,720
Speaker 3: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Tyler says

2427
02:07:32,760 --> 02:07:34,800
Speaker 3: it was a total team win. But even though it's

2428
02:07:34,920 --> 02:07:37,880
Speaker 3: understood that it's hard to win in the NFL, what

2429
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:42,280
Speaker 3: occurred Sunday should be expected. My concerns are, can the

2430
02:07:42,280 --> 02:07:44,440
Speaker 3: defense do at least half of what they did to

2431
02:07:44,520 --> 02:07:48,200
Speaker 3: New York to the Ravens. They have improved, they can

2432
02:07:48,320 --> 02:07:53,440
Speaker 3: yet when facing better competition, I guess to a certain extent, yes,

2433
02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:57,040
Speaker 3: that is valid. I will also remind you that in

2434
02:07:57,080 --> 02:08:02,040
Speaker 3: that Ravens game, the Bills defense did not have Terrell Bernard,

2435
02:08:02,200 --> 02:08:05,320
Speaker 3: Matt Mulano, or Tarren Johnson on the field. All of

2436
02:08:05,360 --> 02:08:08,640
Speaker 3: them were out for that game. So I think that

2437
02:08:08,840 --> 02:08:12,880
Speaker 3: automatically makes the defense better if all three are available,

2438
02:08:12,960 --> 02:08:16,600
Speaker 3: if and when the Bills play the Ravens in the playoffs,

2439
02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:22,160
Speaker 3: presumably the divisional round. So there's that. And let's see

2440
02:08:22,280 --> 02:08:24,600
Speaker 3: how this group looks when they are fully healthy, which

2441
02:08:25,280 --> 02:08:27,920
Speaker 3: at least it's trending in that direction right now. I mean,

2442
02:08:28,360 --> 02:08:31,920
Speaker 3: they got Milano, Douglas, and rapp All back last week

2443
02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:34,280
Speaker 3: and you saw the difference that made. So if you

2444
02:08:34,280 --> 02:08:36,360
Speaker 3: can get Hamlin healthy here by the time you get

2445
02:08:36,360 --> 02:08:37,800
Speaker 3: to the postseason, all the better.

2446
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:41,200
Speaker 8: And they I don't know, I think the Bills didn't

2447
02:08:41,200 --> 02:08:45,040
Speaker 8: do it against better, better competition. They did it against

2448
02:08:46,080 --> 02:08:50,839
Speaker 8: Kansas City, they did it against Detroit. So when they're healthy,

2449
02:08:50,920 --> 02:08:53,720
Speaker 8: they're pretty good. I mean, they held Mahomes one hundred

2450
02:08:53,720 --> 02:08:55,880
Speaker 8: and ninety six yards passing. He had three tds and

2451
02:08:55,960 --> 02:09:02,400
Speaker 8: two interceptions, So yeah, you know, and then the Detroit

2452
02:09:02,440 --> 02:09:09,440
Speaker 8: game kind of the same thing. So it yeah, they're good.

2453
02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:12,440
Speaker 8: It's a good team, and they're gonna They're gonna play

2454
02:09:12,520 --> 02:09:14,760
Speaker 8: really well in the playoffs. I don't know how many

2455
02:09:14,800 --> 02:09:17,320
Speaker 8: games they'll win, but I would be surprised if they

2456
02:09:17,360 --> 02:09:20,280
Speaker 8: didn't get to the divisional round of the playoffs. Uh,

2457
02:09:21,760 --> 02:09:24,320
Speaker 8: and then you know, we'll see what happens. You got

2458
02:09:24,320 --> 02:09:27,000
Speaker 8: to play well on that day to go to the

2459
02:09:27,040 --> 02:09:29,480
Speaker 8: AFC Championship game, and of course you gotta you gotta

2460
02:09:29,480 --> 02:09:31,320
Speaker 8: play well on that day to go to the Super Bowl.

2461
02:09:31,840 --> 02:09:35,760
Speaker 8: So I'm but I think this team's got it under

2462
02:09:35,800 --> 02:09:36,720
Speaker 8: the hood to do all of it.

2463
02:09:37,840 --> 02:09:41,760
Speaker 3: From Beebs twenty five, defense had juice, special teams played better,

2464
02:09:41,840 --> 02:09:45,160
Speaker 3: Tea Bass drilling field goals. You know, we know special

2465
02:09:45,160 --> 02:09:48,280
Speaker 3: teams has come under fire at times from the fan base.

2466
02:09:50,040 --> 02:09:52,919
Speaker 3: They were better yesterday. You can say that they impacted

2467
02:09:52,920 --> 02:09:55,440
Speaker 3: field position. Cal Drington had a couple of nice returns.

2468
02:09:56,320 --> 02:09:59,720
Speaker 3: Bass looks like he's kicking confidently, So those are all

2469
02:09:59,760 --> 02:10:05,200
Speaker 3: good things going forward. Jacob says huge win. Two thoughts

2470
02:10:05,480 --> 02:10:07,720
Speaker 3: Bills should want to lose this week. So the Patriots

2471
02:10:07,760 --> 02:10:09,720
Speaker 3: don't have the rights to the top pick in the draft.

2472
02:10:10,120 --> 02:10:12,880
Speaker 3: Do the coaches game plan at all for the Pats

2473
02:10:12,920 --> 02:10:15,200
Speaker 3: this week, or use the game plan from two weeks ago,

2474
02:10:15,880 --> 02:10:19,760
Speaker 3: and will the coaches be mainly game planning for Denver, Miami, Cincinnati.

2475
02:10:21,560 --> 02:10:24,000
Speaker 3: They will put a game plan together for New England.

2476
02:10:24,680 --> 02:10:26,720
Speaker 3: It might look different than some other ones they've had

2477
02:10:26,720 --> 02:10:29,480
Speaker 3: this season, and it will probably look different on purpose

2478
02:10:29,520 --> 02:10:31,080
Speaker 3: from the one they had two weeks ago for this

2479
02:10:31,160 --> 02:10:33,800
Speaker 3: same football team, because to roll out the same plan

2480
02:10:33,800 --> 02:10:36,600
Speaker 3: as a little fool hardy, especially this close with these

2481
02:10:36,600 --> 02:10:37,960
Speaker 3: two games so close together.

2482
02:10:38,840 --> 02:10:41,800
Speaker 8: Knowing what we know about the culture here and the

2483
02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:44,080
Speaker 8: way they like to do business, They're not going to

2484
02:10:44,120 --> 02:10:47,040
Speaker 8: send a team out there without a good game plan

2485
02:10:48,000 --> 02:10:50,120
Speaker 8: or a false game plan to use.

2486
02:10:50,320 --> 02:10:51,400
Speaker 3: More proper preparation.

2487
02:10:53,240 --> 02:10:55,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're gonna whoever's on the field for the Bills

2488
02:10:55,640 --> 02:11:01,720
Speaker 8: are going to be trying to win the game. And

2489
02:11:01,760 --> 02:11:03,880
Speaker 8: that's it. I mean, they're gonna be trying to win

2490
02:11:03,920 --> 02:11:07,920
Speaker 8: the game. So they will give them the game plan

2491
02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:11,400
Speaker 8: to do exactly that, and they may put extra stuff

2492
02:11:11,400 --> 02:11:15,120
Speaker 8: in the game plan to get on film, so we'll see.

2493
02:11:15,360 --> 02:11:19,280
Speaker 8: But yeah, I'm they do game plan for the Patriots

2494
02:11:19,280 --> 02:11:21,480
Speaker 8: this week. They will not use the game plan from

2495
02:11:21,520 --> 02:11:25,240
Speaker 8: two weeks ago. And they will not be doing game

2496
02:11:25,280 --> 02:11:29,080
Speaker 8: planning in this game for Denver, Miami or Cincinnati. It

2497
02:11:29,160 --> 02:11:31,280
Speaker 8: will be for the New England Patriots.

2498
02:11:32,440 --> 02:11:36,760
Speaker 3: Because look, they're playing at one o'clock on Sunday, and

2499
02:11:36,840 --> 02:11:39,400
Speaker 3: they'll know by the end of the day who they're

2500
02:11:39,480 --> 02:11:43,640
Speaker 3: drawing in the playoffs conceivably. So that's why you know

2501
02:11:43,680 --> 02:11:46,760
Speaker 3: you don't have to. And your advanced scouts already have

2502
02:11:47,040 --> 02:11:50,560
Speaker 3: a lot of pre determined knowledge on these teams anyway,

2503
02:11:50,560 --> 02:11:52,160
Speaker 3: because you have them out and about scout in the

2504
02:11:52,200 --> 02:11:55,240
Speaker 3: whole league every week anyway, so there'll be some advanced

2505
02:11:55,280 --> 02:11:57,920
Speaker 3: knowledge before you get down to brass tacks and really

2506
02:11:57,960 --> 02:12:00,360
Speaker 3: dive into the film. Gotta take a break here, some

2507
02:12:00,400 --> 02:12:02,280
Speaker 3: final thoughts on the tweet sheet when we return here

2508
02:12:02,280 --> 02:12:04,560
Speaker 3: on one Bill's Live on a Buffalo victory Monday, stay

2509
02:12:04,560 --> 02:12:22,160
Speaker 3: tuned all right back here on one Bill's Live. Final

2510
02:12:22,160 --> 02:12:26,560
Speaker 3: segments and final thoughts on the tweet sheet and biggest

2511
02:12:26,560 --> 02:12:30,360
Speaker 3: takeaways from Sunday's victory. This one from Doxy, who says

2512
02:12:31,200 --> 02:12:38,640
Speaker 3: that Aaron Rodgers should retire. That's a question, Joshua says.

2513
02:12:38,720 --> 02:12:41,160
Speaker 3: Offense and defense take a bit to get going, so

2514
02:12:41,200 --> 02:12:43,200
Speaker 3: if we can keep the game close till half, We'll

2515
02:12:43,240 --> 02:12:46,400
Speaker 3: be fine. We always come out second half and crush teams,

2516
02:12:46,560 --> 02:12:48,960
Speaker 3: and we saw that again yesterday. I mean, it is

2517
02:12:49,160 --> 02:12:52,720
Speaker 3: it's uncanny. They come out of the locker room and

2518
02:12:52,760 --> 02:12:54,760
Speaker 3: they just they just pummel people.

2519
02:12:54,760 --> 02:12:57,040
Speaker 8: They've got it together. Yeah, it seems you know.

2520
02:12:57,200 --> 02:12:58,800
Speaker 3: I got to look that up this week to see

2521
02:12:58,800 --> 02:13:01,080
Speaker 3: where they are. I looked it up probably like a

2522
02:13:01,120 --> 02:13:04,680
Speaker 3: month ago, and they were almost two to one point

2523
02:13:04,760 --> 02:13:09,400
Speaker 3: margin in the second half. It's crazy.

2524
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:12,760
Speaker 8: Kudos to the coordinators and the staff, that's what it is. Yeah,

2525
02:13:12,800 --> 02:13:16,000
Speaker 8: and they're tightening it up in the second half and

2526
02:13:16,080 --> 02:13:16,920
Speaker 8: it shows.

2527
02:13:17,360 --> 02:13:19,760
Speaker 3: Stu says, defense did what they had to do. Lots

2528
02:13:19,800 --> 02:13:22,360
Speaker 3: of pressure on Rogers. Looking forward to the second stringers

2529
02:13:22,360 --> 02:13:25,720
Speaker 3: this Sunday, Kevin says got out of it healthy, our

2530
02:13:25,800 --> 02:13:28,720
Speaker 3: d should be good going into the playoffs for the

2531
02:13:28,720 --> 02:13:32,040
Speaker 3: first time in a long time. Yeah, he's right about that.

2532
02:13:32,560 --> 02:13:35,800
Speaker 3: And Williams says, my takeaway from yesterday's game is if

2533
02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:37,800
Speaker 3: they play like they did against the Jets in that

2534
02:13:37,840 --> 02:13:40,800
Speaker 3: third quarter, no team can beat them. Even when they

2535
02:13:40,880 --> 02:13:43,360
Speaker 3: have an off game, they are hard to beat, just

2536
02:13:43,440 --> 02:13:47,560
Speaker 3: like last week's game against the Patriots. Yeah, I get that.

2537
02:13:47,920 --> 02:13:50,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, Yeah, they're listening. It's a really good football team.

2538
02:13:50,520 --> 02:13:54,240
Speaker 8: They're the two seed for a reason. Say what you want.

2539
02:13:54,920 --> 02:13:59,440
Speaker 8: They're one of the elite teams in the league. All

2540
02:13:59,440 --> 02:14:04,280
Speaker 8: you gotta do is that, right, So let's hope they

2541
02:14:04,280 --> 02:14:06,480
Speaker 8: can do it when it really counts the most.

2542
02:14:07,040 --> 02:14:10,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, and yesterday was another thirty point output. Twelve games

2543
02:14:10,840 --> 02:14:13,120
Speaker 3: now in twenty twenty four in which they've scored thirty

2544
02:14:13,200 --> 02:14:18,200
Speaker 3: or more. That is a franchise record, which hey, maybe

2545
02:14:18,200 --> 02:14:20,520
Speaker 3: they even get there this week and make it thirteen.

2546
02:14:20,760 --> 02:14:24,040
Speaker 3: Pretty crazy. We're done for today. Hope you enjoyed the show.

2547
02:14:24,080 --> 02:14:26,520
Speaker 3: We'll catch it tomorrow at one pm. We'll have ESPN's

2548
02:14:26,560 --> 02:14:29,480
Speaker 3: dan Orlowski joining us for his weekly visit. We'll see

2549
02:14:29,480 --> 02:14:29,680
Speaker 3: you the
