1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: the stratiere of normalcy all right here. We are still

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: trying to recover. On a Tuesday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

6
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: with you One Bill's Live as the show. If you're

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: in need of additional therapy, we're here for you. Steve

8
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: was discussing the five stages of grief. Isaiah McKenzie was

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: publicizing his stages of grief on social media earlier today. Yesterday,

10
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: he was saying, I don't know how I need to feel.

11
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: Then he said, now I'm just depressed. So players are

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: going through it every bit as much as the fans are,

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: and it'll take some time, which is the object of

14
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: our Twitter conversation, which we'll get to in a second.

15
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Good to be back. I was spending most of the

16
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: day yesterday after I got off the air doing the

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: show from Kansas City. I had to get back here.

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Steve, commercial travel isn't what it

19
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: once was. It's just and I don't know if we'll

20
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: ever get back there. To be quite honest with you,

21
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: tell me about the Charlotte Airport. Well, first and foremost,

22
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: First and foremost, I had a six am flight Monday

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: morning in an effort to get back here to do

24
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: the show in person, and I was gonna be cutting

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: it close, but I should have had like fifteen minutes

26
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: to spare before airtime. At the two minute warning of

27
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: the AFC divisional playoff between the Bills and the Chiefs,

28
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: I get a text from my airline that says your

29
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: flight has been canceled due to a cruise shortage because

30
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: of COVID infections. Will you can rebook at this link

31
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: or we'll be happy to rebook you ourselves. It's the

32
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: two minute warning of the AFC divisional playoff. I'm a

33
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: little busy, right, I'm a little busy, all right, But

34
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: seats are getting filled by the two hundred people on

35
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: my plane that no longer have a flight, right, So

36
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: now I'm like, oh yeah, so I'm feeling it. Oh yeah,

37
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: So God bless my wife, who spent an hour on

38
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: the phone rebooking me. Yeah, and I didn't fly out

39
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: till late yesterday afternoon after the show. Obviously, he used

40
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: to be when when I was traveling to see bits.

41
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: We were traveling every weekend. You know, you know how

42
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: it is, I mean traveling and it used to be.

43
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: And for you you're on the charter, it's like, I

44
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,840

45
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: you can choke and down. I don't have to worry

46
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: about Yeah, you don't have to worry about getting back

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 1: yeah for the show time. So you're like, you're traveling

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: like you know the Queen Elizabeth Me. On the other hand,

49
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: you're in on Friday, You're in on Friday morning, out

50
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: on Sunday night, straight to the airport after the game.

51
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: But you know you're flying commercial, right, so we I

52
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: I had a pact on all my crews. I don't

53
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: want to hear about your travel problems, you know what

54
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Because if you got a travel problem, let

55
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: me just tell you about the story I had. Everybody's got.

56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there are you could fill a novel

57
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: yeah with. I gotta tell you though, I was terrific stories.

58
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I was unaware as to just how long the Charlotte airport.

59
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you get some of these airports. Well,

60
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: I always I always, oh, I always have poor luck

61
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: when I have to make a connect game changes. Having

62
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: the gate, I'm deplaning from being anywhere in close proximity

63
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: to the gate I have to get to. And last

64
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: night was one of those six SAMs. I was at

65
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: E's sixty two and I had six get to be ten.

66
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean if I didn't walk a half a mile,

67
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean it was at least a half. I was

68
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: walking forever. Unfortunately I made it so no problems. But

69
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: we were taxiing for a while. I'm like, God, this

70
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: isn't good. I am probably as far away as I

71
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: can possibly be from my next plane. Let me tell

72
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: you we got back so that I don't I don't

73
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: think I could make that anymore. Well, they got those

74
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: people movers you know that you can walk on, that

75
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: carry you faster. Those help. I could just see myself

76
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: cardiac arresting in that airport. Just then. Then you're one

77
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: of those people because those he needs those carts that beep,

78
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, eat, those people that drive you around. You

79
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: can't trust them, Yes, you if you have one right there,

80
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: it's like yeah, but oh my gosh, yeah, it's horrible.

81
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: I didn't see it. You know, now that I think

82
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: about that traveled I didn't see a single one of those. Oh,

83
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: Charlotte Airport. I'm surprised I didn't see one, of course

84
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: not you don't care. It was late travelers. They're off,

85
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: they're off shift. Plenty to discuss with you though today,

86
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: not only with the Bills. Yeah, because coach McDermott addressed

87
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: the media today and his season wrap up press conference.

88
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: A lot of good nuggets in there. We will get

89
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: to those through the course of the show, in addition

90
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: to playing some of his more notable comments From what

91
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: amounted to about a forty eight to forty five minute

92
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: press conference. Those tend to be longer at the end

93
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: of the year, and coach McDermott was very generous with

94
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: his time. And let's just about everybody get a question

95
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: in there, so we'll go over that with you. We

96
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: will also take your phone calls if you are still recovering.

97
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: Eight oh three, five fifty the number to get on board,

98
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: so we will get to all of that. Brian Dable's

99
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: second interview as a finalist for the Giants head coaching

100
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: position taking place today in person, presumably somewhere in New Jersey,

101
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: so we'll have to keep our ear to the ground.

102
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: On that. There is also a report out of Miami

103
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: from the Miami heralds Barry Jackson, who was reporting Dayball

104
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: has quote some solid support inside the Dolphins building for

105
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: the head coaching vacancy. Now you attend to think that

106
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: that makes perfect sense. That wouldn't have interviewed him in

107
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: the first place if there wasn't some support for his credentials.

108
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: The big debate going on in New York right now

109
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: with the Giants concerning day Ball and his candidacy is

110
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: the following. Each of the last two head coaches for

111
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: the Giants were first time head coaches. Did not go

112
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: well as we know, Ben McAdoo followed by Joe Judge.

113
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: So there is concern, at least on the media's part

114
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: down there should they go and take another swing at

115
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: a first time head coach, which Brian Dable would be

116
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: having never been a head coach at the NFL level

117
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: before or anywhere else in his coaching career if memory

118
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: serves correct. So that is the debate going on in

119
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: New York. Do you hire a first time head coach,

120
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: especially when you have a first time GM. So that's

121
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: the rub down there. And Brian Flores, the former Dolphins

122
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: head coach is supposed to interview with the Giants on Thursday,

123
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: so it would appear from the outside looking in that

124
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: Dabel and Flores are the top two candidates for the job,

125
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of

126
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: the week that a decision is made by the Giants

127
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: as to who they are going forward with as their

128
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: head coach. There is a domino effect from that as

129
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: it pertains to the Bills. If in fact Dabel is

130
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: hired by the Giants, it leaves a vacancy obviously at

131
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator position. We heard Josh Allen when asked

132
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: about it yesterday. He seemed to indicate that he would

133
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: be supportive of a promotion from within for Ken Dorsey

134
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: as the new OC. I guess he would be in

135
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: support of that number one because he likes Ken Dorsey

136
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: as a coach, but also I think because he knows

137
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: that would in large part keep the offensive scheme the same.

138
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: Presumably there'd be some tweaks and changes, but I think

139
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts of it would be largely the same, Steve.

140
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see where it all goes, and

141
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: we'll probably have answers in the coming days. I don't

142
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: think it's gonna take too long. The surprising thing for me,

143
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: Steve is you've got eight head coaching openings. None of

144
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: them have been filled yet. I mean, we're going on

145
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: two weeks here for the bulk of the openings, and well,

146
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: still none of them have been some of them. Think

147
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: about it. Those some of them have been, you know,

148
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: on the ropes for a while. Nagy in Chicago, Fangio

149
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: and Denver, the Raiders job. The Raiders job, you know,

150
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: you knew it was coming, so there's no hurry there.

151
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, you knew that weeks ago as well. But

152
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: some of these others like Fangio and Nag, even Mike

153
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: Zimmer and Minnesota, those people have been there. They've been

154
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: there for a minute, and it's like it ain't working.

155
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: It's not. This is not the guy. David Culley was

156
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: never to me, I think he's he never got out

157
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: of the fact, even though he overperformed and did a

158
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: really nice job for the Texans overall, I think he

159
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: was always seen as a placeholder anyway. I don't. I

160
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: just think there's a I think the trend in the

161
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: league now is the ownership, GMS all these guys, and

162
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: certainly the Giants have their you know, they just got

163
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: their GM, Joe Shane. There's a big emphasis on getting

164
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: the right guy given yourself some time at this end

165
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: of the process to sort through everything, find the guy

166
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: that's perfect for you, and then expect results instead of

167
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: just getting the hottest name that's out there, signing them

168
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: as quickly as you can before somebody else does. Because

169
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 1: the right guy for you, if you're the Jaguars, may

170
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: not be the right guy for the Bears in Chicago.

171
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You can't think the same

172
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: guy as the right guy for every team out there.

173
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing that's starting to come

174
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: to light now for ownership and people who are hiring.

175
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: Here's the interesting thing concerning the Giants. They have also

176
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: reportedly requested an interview with Cowboys defensive backs coach Joe

177
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: Witt for their defensive coordinator position. They don't have a

178
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: head coach, bit wit Wi t t he's a defensive

179
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: backs coach for the Cowboys, younger coach, and they want

180
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: to interview him for the defensive coordinator position. Now. This

181
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: might lead to speculation that the Giants could be hiring

182
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn as their head coach, who is the defensive

183
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: coordinator in Dallas. That would certainly figure to be somebody

184
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: interested in bringing Joe Witt on board as the DC.

185
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: But why are they doing that now without naming a

186
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: head coach. Usually the head coach kind of takes it

187
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: from there in terms of assembling the staff. It's kind

188
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: of a cart before the horse thing, it would seem.

189
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're what the aim is there

190
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: in terms of the order in which it is taking place.

191
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: They have a they still have their current defensive coordinator

192
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: from Joe Judges staff. It's still under track. They actually

193
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: interviewed Patrick Graham, the Giants DC for the head coaching job, right.

194
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: I think it is more of a courtesy interview, but

195
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: only one thing if they were going to keep things

196
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: in proper order. And I don't know Joe Vitt wit

197
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: Joe Witt, I don't know Joe Witt unless both the

198
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: candidate finalist candidates are all three the finalist candidates said

199
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: yeah that I know him, like him, get it he

200
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: had to get he would have to get universal approval,

201
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: right right, each like during each interview with these head coaches, Hey,

202
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: what do you think of Joe Witt? Would you be

203
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: interested in considering him for defensive coordinator? And I guess

204
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: everybody said, well, yeah, you can talk to him if

205
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: you want to see if you like him. But you're

206
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: not right. It's like whoa hold on it? Like if

207
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: you're if you're one of those head coaching candidates and

208
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: you don't like him, like, where do you go from there? Like, well,

209
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: hold on a second. If I'm hired as the head coach,

210
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: am I gonna have saying who I'm hiring or not?

211
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: What's going on exactly? Usually it works, and we all

212
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: know this. That's why it's peculiar to me. Usually the

213
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: head coach picks the staff. What's what was is not

214
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: widely known by a lot of fans, is that the

215
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: general manager picks the players. The GM has final say

216
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: on the Listen, we're gonna take this guy over that

217
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: guy in the draft, We're gonna sign this guy over

218
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: that guy in free agency, this guy over that guy.

219
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: And then coach coach, yeah, the final fifty three is

220
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: the coach's final say. But obviously the general managers in

221
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: the room and saying listen, I would keep this guy

222
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: is to to that guy because this guy, I know,

223
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: he's a depth piece, but we can't sign guys like

224
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: him anywhere else. You know what I'm saying. There's a

225
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: there's fifty guys like this one out there. Keep the

226
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: guy that's more rare, that kind of thing and that

227
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: and the coach say, yeah, you're right, let's do that.

228
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: So there and that's why you need him in lockstep.

229
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: They need to have conversations like that. It just struck

230
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: me as peculiar. That is weird. That is weird. Why

231
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: in the midst of you don't even have a head

232
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: coach and you're gonna talk to defensive coordinators that It

233
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: sub strikes me as funny that they care coordinator candidates.

234
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: They don't even care. Why would they not mention the fact,

235
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: as I said, they still have a defensive coordinator on

236
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: staff from the Joe Judge staff, and I realize that's

237
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: always murky, but they interviewed him for the head coaching job.

238
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: I wonder. It's really weird. Now that's and that's from Dallas.

239
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: That's like a divisional ride. So the speculation out of

240
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: New York is, oh, they're trying to pull as many

241
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: assets away from Dallas as they can heard a division rival,

242
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I'm like, that's not what I'm thinking.

243
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, why are you doing that right now? Unless

244
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: they're unless they're thinking, unless they're trying to get from

245
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: this Dallas coach, unless they're trying to pump him for

246
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: dan quinn information right or whatever, or they're or they're

247
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: pumping him for the way they do things in Dallas,

248
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: or what's their mindset or who's this guy? Right? That's

249
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: weird now. Now, if dan Quinn's coming in for the

250
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: head coaching job and he says, this is your guy,

251
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: and they say, well, we already got these guys under contract,

252
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: will you talk to them? I said, wait, just talk

253
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: to my guy. Talk to my guy, Joe it Yeah.

254
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: And so they're doing that. It looks like the Bears

255
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: have a new GM. Ryan Poles. Looks like he's going

256
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: to be named the new general manager. Guy from Kansas

257
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Believe that's right. I believe that's right. He

258
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: had interviewed for the Giants general manager position as well.

259
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: And then it looks like the word is that Minnesota

260
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: may move quickly on Cawiciadopho Mensa, who was the leading

261
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: candidate for the Vikings. It was believed Poles was also

262
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: in that pool of candidates. So now with the first

263
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: domino falling, usually the other ones following quick quick succession,

264
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: so front office positions could come quickly here. We'll have

265
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: to see how it all plays out with respect to

266
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: the Vikings front office in the wake of the Bears

267
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: finalizing a deal with Ryan Poles to be their next GM,

268
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: So we'll keep our ear to the ground on that

269
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: and provide you with any updates going on around the league.

270
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: I am certainly not envious that we don't have to

271
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: deal with that here. We did enough of that over

272
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: the years. Glad we've got some real good stability here

273
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: so we don't have to worry about that. Yeah, that's

274
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: talk about stability. I just just crossed my mind. It

275
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: had crossed my mind earlier day. I saw somebody tweet

276
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: about it, Josh signs the extension, And today, like you

277
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: talk about how people are digesting what happened in Kansas

278
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: City two fifty eight over two hundred fifty eight million

279
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: over six years, it seems like kind of got kind

280
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: of got a bargain there. Well, the two highest paid

281
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league based on average annual salary are

282
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Alan And that seems to be correct that

283
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: they got it right. Doesn't that seem to be correct?

284
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: They went absolutely nuts in that divisional playoff game, and

285
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: that shows you why everybody searches for that guy. The

286
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Bills are and look at that. Think

287
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: about this. Neither one of those guys, Wilton. You can say, well, Mahomes,

288
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: one of Josh never got a cha. I mean every

289
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: time Josh got the ball when it mattered, he produced.

290
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean when the chips were down, the guy came

291
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: through like money. And so you gotta say the quarterbacks

292
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: were awesome in that game. You go to Green Bay

293
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: and they got Jimmy Garoppolo beating Aaron Rodgers, who's owing

294
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: four against that team. Aaron Rodgers been to a ton

295
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: of championship games, one super Bowl, he's he scored thirteen points.

296
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: Looking around the other the other side, you know, you

297
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: just you had Ryan Tannehill in Tennessee. Certainly Joe Burrows

298
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: gotta be included in the conversation now, right, I mean,

299
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: as a guy who's on that trajectory. Justin Herbert, I've

300
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: told you he's gonna be Dan Fouts. He's gonna be

301
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: He's a more athletic Dan Fouts. He's not a pocket.

302
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about results. Yeah, I don't think he's gonna

303
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: be carrying a franchise of the nature of the LA Chargers.

304
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll get in the play He's gonna be a

305
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and Dan Fouts, So he's gonna be results wise,

306
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: great numbers and quarterbacks are not a stat I mean,

307
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: wins are not a quarterback stat kind of guy. All right,

308
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: fair enough? Yeah, so I just the reason I bring

309
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: it up. Josh two ndred fifty eight over six two

310
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: hundred fifty eight million over six years. I'm thinking it'll

311
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: look better and better with each passing year. Pretty good now, yeah, yeah,

312
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: and it'll look better as we as we go forward.

313
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: Twitter conversation today deals with Sunday Night's game. When will

314
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 1: you move on from the Bill's playoff loss to the Chiefs.

315
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: Your choices on the Twitter poll are A after the

316
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: conference championship, round, B, after the Super Bowl, C, after

317
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: free agency in the draft, or D never and never

318
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: is leading the way it is it is a boat race,

319
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: and never is boat racing? Everybody else here with fifty

320
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: eight percent of the vote, is that right? Is that

321
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: our last number? What do we have? Let me just

322
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: still more than half. Let me just say I love

323
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: all of you for saying that. Never, It warms my heart.

324
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: Good for you. But let's go to the phones because

325
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: we got people waiting there. At eight o three five

326
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty we

327
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: lead off with Todd and Buffalo. We got first time

328
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: you're on one Bill's life. Oh my god, gentlemen, how

329
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: you guys doing. I mean, we're hanging in there. My

330
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: heart is still breaking right now. But Chris, you're doing

331
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: a tablist job in w G. I had to mention

332
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: that first. But no, thank you. I'd like to talk

333
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: to Steve. I was at the Cleveland game in nineteen

334
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: eighty nine. Remember that game? Oh yeah, yeah, it was

335
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: a heartbreaker. So how do you guys who cover from that?

336
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: You know from no? Hey, no, we scored. It was

337
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: like we got blown out, you know, all right? How

338
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: do you recover? St Yeah? Good quick, good question, Todd,

339
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: good question, Thanks for the call. Um. It takes some time,

340
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: but I think still sounds like Yeah is struggling to recover.

341
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: Um Um, it takes time. I think everybody knows it's

342
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: going to take time. Think about it. We were we

343
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: have been thinking about and talking about the AFC Championship

344
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: game from twenty twenty um, all the way up until

345
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: this last game against the Chiefs. Um. We're gonna talk

346
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: about this thirteen seconds that got away from him for

347
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: a long time. You're gonna talk about changing the overtime

348
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: rules for a long time. You're gonna remember that game

349
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: as being one of the old time classics of all time. This,

350
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: I think, this thirteen second game is exactly is the

351
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: drought generation wide, right, you know, I mean they're gonna

352
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: talk about it. There's somebody never gonna get over. Now.

353
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: It's a division round of the playoffs. And you know,

354
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: it's different when you get to the AFC Championship or

355
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, obviously because you still had some work

356
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 1: to do this season after this game. But this feels

357
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: like you got dropped off a cliff. You had reached

358
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: the pinnacle of the mountain and all of a sudden

359
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: you find out you're at the bottom again. That's kind

360
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: of what this game feels like I also have had

361
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: former teammates of mine. I got a text last night yesterday,

362
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: and then I got a call last night guys saying,

363
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's exactly what happened to the Buffalo Bills

364
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: back in the nineties before they went on their run

365
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: championship game loss back to the playoffs the next year,

366
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: and that it was that Cleveland game that that Todd

367
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: brought up and then they went to four straight Super Bowls.

368
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: They're laughing and says, so this means the Bills are

369
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: going to four straight Super Bowls after this year, right,

370
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: So everybody sign up for that, right He signed up

371
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: for it, although you know they never won one of those.

372
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard, but that's there's a

373
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: lot of football left in a core group of guys

374
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: that look really good right now, and that nineteen eighty

375
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 1: nine stuff. That's he's kind of the exact same spot

376
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: that Bruce and Jim and certainly Thurman who's younger Cornelie

377
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: Bennett were young players. That's right where they were starting

378
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: to hit their stride. Andre Reid as an eighty five

379
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: draft guy, so five years into their careers where they

380
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: went to their first Super Bowl after being in the

381
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: playoffs a couple of years before that. So yeah, there's

382
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: a lot of parallels for that, particularly when you grow

383
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: together as a group. And I'm not saying that next

384
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: year's you know, got to be the year or whatever,

385
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: but certainly this group as it's currently constructed, ain't going anywhere.

386
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: This core group's not going anywhere. Tradegus White's coming back,

387
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: Edmonds is going to come back, Josh All. Their young

388
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: core is under contract for the most part. Yeah, Gabe Davis,

389
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: they're not letting him get out of the building. Are

390
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: you crazy. He's still on his rookie contract another year.

391
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: So they've got these guys in here, you know, Harrison Phillips,

392
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: who really he will be a free agent. He's going

393
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: to be a free agent, no question. Now the Bills,

394
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: the interesting part is how discipline the Bills can stay

395
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: pay the guys they want to pay, bring back the

396
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: guys they want to back. They got to stay cap strong,

397
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: and what the structure of those contracts will look like. Certainly,

398
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: you know a lot of those guys, if not every

399
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: single one of them, want to come back and be

400
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: a part of this team going forward. But right now,

401
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: the way this team is currently constructed. They're steamrolling into

402
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: the next season, this offseason and into next year. I mean,

403
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: this is one of those teams that cannot that absolutely

404
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: fully expects to be back and steamrolling in the playoffs

405
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Whether now, there's a lot of

406
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: things that have to happen, obviously, but still that's where

407
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: this team sits in its expectations, and I think the

408
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: players in the locker room and the word around the

409
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: league is exactly that. Yeah, let's go back to the

410
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: phones and we go to Dave in Florida. Next. What

411
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: do you first day you're on One Bill's Live. How

412
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: you doing, Steve? Chris Say, love the show. Thanks a

413
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: long time listener, first time caller. Appreciate it, Steve, real

414
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: quick man. You should be in the Hall of Fame.

415
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: I love watching your play and never knew what you're

416
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: gonna do next. It was very entertaining, and I also

417
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: loved watching you on the sidelines with your tricks with

418
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: the football. Used to crack me up. You were a magician. Um,

419
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: as far as the game goes, I'm dying still listen

420
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: to four hours of radio yesterday and uh, you know

421
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: it does it did parallel when eighty nine. I was

422
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: going to say that you guys just talked about it,

423
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: and I agree. Um, But what bothers me most probably

424
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: is I think we got out coach, and we got

425
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: it clearly, got out coached again at the most critical moment.

426
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: It happened in nineteen nineteen. You guys are the best

427
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: team in football, no, no doubt, um Ballichick new Kelly's

428
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: mentality stopped the pass. You guys didn't start running to

429
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: a third quarter, and he finally got back in the

430
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: game almost won it. Um. We just seem to blow

431
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: at a critical times. Um. I love Nick Nermott, I

432
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: love the culture. I think he's My point is I

433
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: guess is he's a work in progress, just like the players.

434
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: And the thing I can say that I like best

435
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: the bottom is he seems to be learning from his

436
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: mistakes and I'm excited about the future. It's going to

437
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: be an agazing I don't know when I'm gonna get

438
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 1: over this because it ends a lot like wide right. Um,

439
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: And I just want to hear what you guys have

440
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: thought about bad Yeah, thanks for the call to day.

441
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. I mean, I'll say this for some reason,

442
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: and I don't know that anybody's been able to accurately

443
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: explain it. Yet. Sunday Night's loss hurt more than last

444
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: year's AFC Championship Game loss. I don't know if it's pure.

445
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a for a number of reasons. Here's

446
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: my theory. Number one, you had the game in the

447
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: bag by most people's accounts, thirteen seconds left, three point lead.

448
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: Nothing's guaranteed in football, but your win probability was very high.

449
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: That was not the case last year. You were out

450
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: of that game by the third quarter, and it was

451
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: evident that you were not going to catch up. Plus

452
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: the Bills had embarked on some newfound extraordinary success. It

453
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: was a wildly surprising season in a good way, and

454
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: everybody enjoyed the ride for as long as it lasted,

455
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: and when it ended, it was like, Wow, that was

456
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: a heck of a season. This year, expectations were through

457
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: the roof. They looked down the stretch like the bet

458
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in football, so the expectation

459
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: was to get there. It looked like you were on

460
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: a revenge tour. You wipe the floor with the Patriots,

461
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: who were your division nemesis for two decades and had

462
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: the number two defense, right, and you go into Kansas

463
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: City with the number one defense in football, ready to

464
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: slay the dragon. It looks like you're about to stick

465
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: the knife through the heart and it doesn't happen. I mean,

466
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I talked to co workers here said it

467
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: felt like we lost the Super Bowl. That's the magnitude

468
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 1: that this game had in everyone's mental psyche in Western

469
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: New York. And that's why I think it's so hard

470
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: for people to come to grips with this particular playoff loss.

471
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: Do I sound like I'm somewhere in the vicinity of

472
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: why everybody's feeling the way they are. Yeah, And that's

473
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: where everybody is. This the expectations skewed things from the

474
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: very beginning of this season. Losses were unexpected, and we

475
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: on this show you could unaccept it, and many yeah

476
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: you could. Yeah. The losses, you know, the Pittsburgh loss

477
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: that certainly, the Jacksonville loss, and then the two straight

478
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: losses between the Patriots and the and the Buccaneers, you

479
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: just felt like something was like you were snake bit.

480
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, and I've been saying it for

481
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: a couple of days. I don't know if I said

482
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: it on the air or not, but those games, but

483
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, Jacksonville, the Pittsburgh game, the Patriot game, whereas

484
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: forty mile wins, you gotta you know, any one of

485
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: those games goes the other way, or any and certainly

486
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: any two of them, the Tampa Bay game with the

487
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: non call at the end, all of those, any of

488
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: them go your way. That game was here, the Chiefs

489
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: game would have been here. Yeah. That changes things, it does.

490
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: That changes things a ton. And that's what I think

491
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: the focus for the Bills needs to be to help

492
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: them next year, it would be this, You've got to

493
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: win this game in September. You gotta win it because

494
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna make a difference in December, January. You gotta

495
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: win this game. You gotta win that game. You gotta

496
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: win these games. You gotta play well in these games

497
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: because if you don't, you're gonna be wishing you had

498
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: in January when you gotta go to Kansas City. And

499
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: the other thing too. Last year, and the reason it

500
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: was so enjoyable for so many people is because they

501
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: were isolated. There was no vaccine for COVID. You know,

502
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: life was dramatically different in twenty twenty, and the only

503
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: way to feel like you were a part of a

504
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: community again was through this football team and watching them

505
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: on Sundays and interacting with your friends on social media

506
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: or FaceTime or whatever else. And it kind of it

507
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: pulled the community together that way. And that's why that

508
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: ride was so enjoyable last last year. This year, you know,

509
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: the expectations were through the roof, and then after what

510
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: many people are calling national media analysts are calling it

511
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: the perfect game against the Patriots, expectations only shot up

512
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: that much higher. So the lets so the fall is

513
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: a lot longer when it doesn't happen for your team,

514
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: and that's what makes it so tough. I think, let's

515
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: go to Dan and Rochester. Next, Dan, what do you

516
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one bills live, Dan, You're

517
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: you're listening to your radio. I gotta put you on

518
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: hold there. We'll get back to you. Gotta be ready

519
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: for me to come to you there and the radio's

520
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: on delay. We'll catch up with you in a second. Here.

521
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to Jim and only End. Next Jim, what

522
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one bills live? Hi,

523
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: Chris Hi, Steve I'm in locked up a grim agreement

524
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: with the Twitter people never will like it. Okay, fair enough,

525
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: I am telling you Josh Allen can hold his head

526
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: up high. He played basically almost two perfect games in

527
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: a role, and um, the offense did a stellar job.

528
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: There's you know, things will question, you know, like about

529
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: coverages and whether they should have short kicked and at

530
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: the end there. But um, this is a team I

531
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: feel that's going to be resilient and I think it

532
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: is going to come back next year. Um, just with

533
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: with fire in their eyes. Um, it was funny. Forty

534
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: eight hours before the game share, I came down with

535
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: a mother of all stomach viruses and I don't know

536
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: which one hurt them most, the stomach virus this or

537
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: this loss. But eventually, you know, time heels all wounds,

538
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: and I think I'll get over it, maybe win the bills.

539
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: When I see the bills being, you know, pronounce AFC

540
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: champions next year, and you know that's the expectation. Bill

541
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: Polian once said, you know, of the nineties teams, fans

542
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: enjoy the ride. That needs to be reiterated right now, Yeah,

543
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: fans enjoy this. Fair enough, We know that we waited

544
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: a long time to get back there. A good call, Jim,

545
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: thank you for making it. Just thought I would point

546
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: out in case anybody was wondering. And I don't think

547
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: this is going to going to come as a prize

548
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: for anybody, but here are your top three passer rating

549
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this year's playoffs. Number three Matthew Stafford one

550
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: thirty one point five, Patrick Mahomes second one thirty one

551
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: point seven, First Josh Allen one forty nine. Passer rating

552
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Averaged over ten point two yards per

553
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: pass attempt average, over thirteen yards per completion. Just some

554
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: stupid numbers there. Over seven hundred seventy yards passing, nine touchdowns,

555
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: no picks in the playoffs, just super super performance, which

556
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: I think everybody why everybody nationally is kind of tipping

557
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: their hat because the guy is the dude. There's no

558
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: doubt anymore. And as coach McDermott said today, and we'll

559
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: get to his comments after the break, he proved anybody

560
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: that has any questions left for Josh Allen, he answered

561
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: all of them, no matter what they are. We will

562
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: take a break here though, because we have to bring

563
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: those comments to you. Coach McDermott address the media earlier

564
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: today in his season wrap up press conference, had some

565
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: interesting things to say, not only about the present, but

566
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: the future as well. He also expanded on those faithful

567
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: final thirteen seconds. We'll get it all to you next.

568
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: You're on One Bills Live presented by Collot of Health.

569
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, as we said, Coach

570
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: McDermott addressed the media earlier today. His season wrap up

571
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: press conference went for about forty minutes or so and

572
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: covered a number of topics. We're here to bring you

573
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: the highlights, and we begin with his elaboration to a

574
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: certain extent, on the final thirteen seconds of regulation against

575
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs on Sunday night. Most of you know in

576
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: his postgame remarks he said, look, I'm just gonna leave

577
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,479
Speaker 1: it at execution, and that's where I'm going to leave it.

578
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: The presumption was, you know, he didn't want to point

579
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: the finger right after a game, and coaches don't do

580
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: that in general, like they don't throw people under the

581
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: bus that they've worked all year with. It's just kind

582
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: of not the way to go. So here is a

583
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: coach McDermott who was asked several times about it, addressing

584
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: the final thirteen seconds of regulation against the Chiefs. I'm

585
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: still not going to get into the specifics on it. Again,

586
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: it comes down to execution. We didn't execute UM, and

587
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: so I hope, I hope, I hope you can appreciate

588
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: where I'm coming from all that. UM. That's that's really

589
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: where I was after the game. That's where I am now.

590
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: UM And as I said earlier, UM disappointing at them

591
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: because we pride ourselves in detail. We pride ourselves in

592
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: execution UM and being great in situational football, and we

593
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: practice that tirelessly here, I mean NonStop. As you're aware,

594
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: you're you see our practices. You know how how detailed

595
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: we try and be in articulous with our preparation and UM,

596
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: and so that's that's It's it's disappointing overall to get

597
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: that result, but it's even more disappointing knowing that we

598
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: prepare and practice those situations a ton here in Buffalo.

599
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: And so I come back to you've got to face

600
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: it and we're not going to run from it. And

601
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, I believe in that. I believe in that approach.

602
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: We all have to. We all have to face it

603
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: and then learn from it. And I believe that we're

604
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: heading in the right direction as an organization, and I

605
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: believe we will definitely accomplish our goal, the ultimate goal

606
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: we have, and that will be a part of the

607
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: reason why as long as we face it. And that's

608
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: what we need to do right now now. The most

609
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: interesting part about his address there of the final thirteen

610
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: seconds Steve is he's pointing specifically to execution, and then

611
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: he elaborates and says, what makes it so frustrating is

612
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: we drill this stuff every day and you and I

613
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: go to enough practices to see it over the years

614
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: with coach McDermott. Here, every practice begins with a game

615
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: situation right after stretch. The offense and the defense, sometimes

616
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: even the special teams unit. They are told, here's your situation.

617
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: One time out, ten seconds left. Offense needs a field goal. Defense,

618
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: get on the field. Tell us how you're going to

619
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: play offense. You know what you have to do to

620
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: get in field goal range. You got one time out,

621
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: you know, bang go and they run the next two plays.

622
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: They do that every day, just at the beginning of

623
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: practice to turn everybody's brain on and to drill those

624
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: kinds of things. I am certain there are other segments

625
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: of practice through the course of the week where that

626
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: is drilled again, most notably on Saturdays. You can approve,

627
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: we can all appreciate how complicated it is at the

628
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: end of games with timeouts and field position and what's

629
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: needed to win and what's you know, what you're willing

630
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: to give up in the three points to tie, three

631
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: points to win, three points to tie, you need a

632
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: touchdown you're up by four points or more touchdown to win,

633
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: or a touchdown to tie. All the situations the end,

634
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: plus how much exactly how much time has left do

635
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: you have the two minute warning? How many timeouts do

636
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: they have left? Do they want to use their timehouse

637
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: before the two minute warning or after the two minute warning.

638
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: It's complicated, and so that's why teams go through that.

639
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: And you saw what we all saw. What happened. You

640
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: got they had three times The Chiefs had three timeouts,

641
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: and you go over it. Here's what you're looking at.

642
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: Three timeouts, thirteen seconds and they had to go forty

643
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: yards to get to the field goal range. And theoretically

644
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't even that they needed forty yards they were

645
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: going to try a field goal to win it, or

646
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: a hail mary if it was out of field goal,

647
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: if it was like a seventy five yard kick or something.

648
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: The simple fact the matter is you weren't going to

649
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: be able to stop the clock between plays the Chiefs.

650
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to do that with their timeouts.

651
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: So you had to extend the time it took to

652
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: run those plays for the Chiefs without giving up yards.

653
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: That's the problem you got. Now the Chiefs have the

654
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: a team on the planet and a quarterback that's unbelievable.

655
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: So you got to come up with something like and

656
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: within the you know, within the time that you scored

657
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: that touchdown to the time they kick it off and

658
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: they line up, you got to come up with a

659
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: plan or got to have a plan in place of

660
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: how to do that. As you said, had a plan.

661
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: And you and the guys are like, I don't know

662
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: whether the they're just like, now we got this. There's

663
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: no way we're gonna give up a field goal with

664
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds left. They're gonna and they just they didn't

665
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: do it. They didn't. It's almost as if some believe

666
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: there's no way they're gonna be able to do that

667
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 1: in thirteen seconds even though they had the two timeouts

668
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: three or three, right. So the other thing that we

669
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: should know about coach mcdermot's comment. He was asked on

670
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: a follow up question, does the defense get rolled into

671
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: your execution response? As the problem, It wasn't just the kickoff,

672
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: it was the two plays on defense as well. When

673
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: you're saying execution and he's said yes, So it wasn't

674
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: just the kickoff and the execution there, it was the

675
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: subsequent two defensive plays after where there were execution issues

676
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: as well. And you understand his frustration, knowing how detail

677
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: oriented he is as a head coach. When those details,

678
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, the eyes weren't dotting, the ts weren't across

679
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: at the most important point of the game. It's almost

680
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: as if everybody exhaled after the fourth gave Davis touchdown

681
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: and they had to stay laser focused. And unfortunately, it

682
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: sounds like there were some people that did not. They Yeah,

683
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: I just don't think whoever they were, and you know,

684
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: no one will ever know outside of the walls of

685
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: that locker room. But it's I mean, it's the season's

686
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: over because of it. Coach McDermott also addressed a potential

687
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: thing that could happen here in the coming days. As

688
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: we know Brian Dable as a finalist for the Giant's

689
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: head coaching job. If he departs, it leaves the OC

690
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: job open. Coach McDermott was asked if Josh Allen would

691
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: have input on who the new offensive coordinator would be.

692
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen dressed the media yesterday on locker clean out

693
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: day and indicated that he would be in support of

694
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey ascending to the OC position from his current

695
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coaching job. He's been here the last three years.

696
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: So here is Coach McDermott on whether or not Josh

697
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: Allen will have input on a new offensive coordinator if

698
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: one needs to be hired. Josh and I communicate on

699
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: a lot of things. We spoke yesterday about some of

700
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: what you're discussing here, Heather, and he will be in

701
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: the loop and he will be communicated with and certainly

702
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: value Josh's opinion on things, and it's important that he's

703
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: comfortable as well. So no decision will be made without

704
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: Josh being looked in. So there we are with that,

705
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: and that's really no surprise and that's smart question. We

706
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: should be Yeah. I mean he's the leader of your team,

707
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: he's one of the Yeah, and I get it too.

708
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 1: And then you hear these things about you know, Aaron

709
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers and they never get they never drafted him a

710
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: first round draft wide receiver and Russ Willson and exactly.

711
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: But here's the thing too, this is different. This isn't like,

712
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: get me a wide receiver to play. This doesn't get

713
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: me Steph Diggs and you know you can do that.

714
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: This is who is gonna help me on game day,

715
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: win games every single snap? Who am I gonna have?

716
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: Who am I gonna talk to all day? Ever? Think

717
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: about the relationship between Brian day Bole and Josh Allen.

718
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: They sit in a room together and talk all day

719
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 1: about what's gonna happen, and they come up with stuff.

720
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: They dream up stuff and day Ball dream stuff up

721
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,280
Speaker 1: on napkins, and then he comes to you. They're changing

722
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: plays on a Friday night before a Saturday night game,

723
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: and they are like you, They're like married. They're in

724
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: the same room all day, every day, and you gotta

725
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: and so you're calling them work husbands exactly. And the

726
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: same thing with Dorsey Ken Dorsey's gonna be that guy

727
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: from now on. Josh has to have a feel for

728
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: who he wants to hear in his ear on game

729
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: day when you're with a minute two to go in

730
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City and you got to go the length of

731
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: the field for a touchdown, who's that guy? That's a

732
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: big job, That is an enormous responsibility, and the guy

733
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: who he's talking to or getting talked to, should have

734
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: at least a voice in the conversation, even if it's

735
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: just an okay, yeah, okay, I agree. And you can

736
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: understand why you would want Dorsey because logic would say

737
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: that the bulk of the offensive scheme would remain in place,

738
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: so Josh wouldn't have to learn a new scheme, which

739
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: would create a whole new learning curve and could potentially

740
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: set this offense back as it would be a change

741
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: for everything. That would be an interesting I think what

742
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: would happen mostly and usually is if you get a

743
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: new offensive course coming into a situation like the one

744
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: we're talking about with Buffalo, that coordinator would learn the

745
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: verbiage of what the Bills use and then go from there. Yea,

746
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback, they wouldn't install their own offense. They would

747
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: use the offense the Bills are using and then change

748
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: the verbiage or I mean, his verbiage would be adapted

749
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: to the new verbiage. The coach would learn this offense

750
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: and they'd go from there because then they could just

751
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: start adding on to and say okay, and we're gonna

752
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: do this now and this, and we're gonna change move

753
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: this around or here's the word. You know, he would

754
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: just learn the new language and use his concepts. But

755
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: it's a huge transition. It is huge. Even if you

756
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,800
Speaker 1: keep the scheme the same, it's still gonna because nobody's

757
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: gonna call a game like Dabe's gonna call the game.

758
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: Exist everybody's different. And that's not I'm not saying one

759
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: guy is any better than the other. It's just going

760
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: to be different. Whether it's better, worse, or something else,

761
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: it's going to be different no matter what. We have

762
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: to take a break here, but when we come back,

763
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: we know that the Bills had the number one defense

764
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: in football. We also know that they pride themselves on

765
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: being fundamentally sound in all of the way that they play.

766
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: Some of that just flat out didn't matter against the

767
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense. That puts an extraordinary amount of speed on

768
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: the field. What is coach McDermott's solution for that. We'll

769
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: give you the answer when we come back with Coach

00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,560

Speaker 1: plus total yards and back to back playoff games for

779
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,919
Speaker 1: only this second time in team history. The other time

780
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: it lasted three games over two seasons between nineteen ninety

781
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: and nineteen ninety one games against Cleveland, Miami and the

782
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: Raight is pretty good number. Josh was responsible for three

783
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: hundred ninety seven of those four hundred and twenty two

784
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: total yards. Three hundred and ninety seven total yards. That guy,

785
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: that's pretty stupid. That guy. Yeah, that's That's That's why

786
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: I said it before that that offense playing these games,

787
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: these last handful of games they played, It's like it's

788
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: just stick in my veins. Man, you can't get enough

789
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: to watch those guys. It was great. Um. We do

790
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: have some breaking NFL news Sean Payton's status, which has

791
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: been known to be up in the air with regard

792
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: to his future as Saints head coach. Sean Payton, according

793
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: to Ian Rappaport of NFL Network, has informed the Saints

794
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 1: he is stepping away as head coach of the Saints.

795
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: We'll have to see how that all plays out with

796
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: respect to what his contract is, but that guy is

797
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 1: going to get hired about fifteen minutes. There are now

798
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: nine head coaching openings. Eight are still vacant. This might

799
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: be a reason why people were waiting to see what

800
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: Sean Payton's decision would be. So we'll have to see,

801
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: first of all, if he's going on hiatus, taking a sabbatical,

802
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: or if he's ready to be a head coach somewhere else.

803
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: They are after a long run in New Orleans. He

804
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: is finding out right now. The phone's ringing off the

805
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: hook with his representation and saying what about it. Is

806
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: he interested in a fresh start with a new team,

807
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 1: or is he taking a year off? What are his plans?

808
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: Because I know there's some franchises out there that are like,

809
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: we'll wait a year or two. If he wants to

810
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: take a year off, we'll take him. We'll hire a

811
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: placeholder and bring him in next year because he that

812
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: guy is a great NFL coach, a great NFL head coach,

813
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: a proven NFL head coach. Be interesting to see how

814
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: he shuffles the deck here with the coaching carousel that's

815
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: going on right now, because that's a big fish, no

816
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: matter what size the ocean is. So we'll have to

817
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: see where that goes. It will be certainly makes the

818
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: coaching landscape even more interesting now this offseason. We wanted

819
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: to get one more common from coach mcdermot's press conference

820
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: this morning. To you, I asked, coach, you have a

821
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: defense that prides itself on sound fundamentals. You were number

822
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: one in the league in a long list of categories,

823
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: and even though you play fundamentally sound defense, most of

824
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: the time, that fundamental, fundamentally sound place seems to get

825
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: compromised when there is elite speed on the field on

826
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. We saw it on

827
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: Sunday night. I asked him going forward, do you think

828
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: you need to make speed a priority in terms of

829
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: what you add going forward on the defensive side of

830
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 1: the ball. This was his answer, Well, I think that's

831
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: a valid point. Prison Um, you know that team speed

832
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: is unique with with obviously Tyreek Hill and and you

833
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: know seventeen and thirteen. I mean, they've got they've got

834
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that can fly, and it does

835
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 1: impact the game and impact strategy, and it impacts game

836
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: planning and then on the field, as as you saw,

837
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: it impacts the result, right, and so um, it's unique

838
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: the speed that they have. So and you know, again

839
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: giving them credit, they've done a lot of things. Well

840
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: they've had quite some time to build that up, and

841
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: so credit goes to them. You know, we're going to

842
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: continue to build build this as well, and we're going

843
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: to continue to address areas of need and and I

844
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: think not just this year, but evolving with how the

845
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: game continues to evolve, that we have to continue to

846
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: evolve with it and try and be out in front

847
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: of it all the time. So that's that's what we

848
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: have to do one of the areas. You know that

849
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: we have to continue to look at matching, matching team

850
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: speed on both sides of the ball, matching team speed

851
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. Steve, it changed the game,

852
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: and it changed the game it last year too. You

853
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: could have the best as a defender, you could have

854
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: the best angle of entry on the planet to make

855
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: a tackle, but when you're facing a guy like that,

856
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: it changes the entire universe of what you were taught

857
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: as a defensive player because you just can't catch the guy.

858
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: You can't even get an angle on. You have to

859
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: have more than one guy to tack him. You usually

860
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 1: think like guys like Jim Brown or or Earl Campbell

861
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 1: and some of those great big, physical runners over the

862
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: past year. You got to have two guys to tackle

863
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: him because he's so big, and you need two guys

864
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 1: to tackle Tyreek because he outruns one. If he's got space,

865
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: you just can't catch him. He'll run a circle around

866
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: you and just and you leave you hanging. You gotta

867
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: have two guys to him him in every single time.

868
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah and so and a sideline. So that's what you're

869
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: up against, and and and no question, the Bills had

870
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 1: every reason to think they could have beaten that team,

871
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: and they could have, should have, would have. You know

872
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 1: all of that, But if you want to if you

873
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: want to get better, you know, you got to find

874
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 1: a way to match that if you can. Now there's

875
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: not I mean the guys are unique, these yas, but

876
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,479
Speaker 1: I mean they got hardman, they have pringled. These guys

877
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: all run some four four. If you don't have people

878
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: that can run with them, I don't care how good

879
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: your technique is, you're not winning because they only need

880
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: to beat you once and it's six. That's the problem.

881
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: Each one of you beat you, it's twenty eight points, right,

882
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: And so that's why you've got to make speed a

883
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: priority and add more of it to your defense. And

884
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: coach pretty much acknowledged we're gonna be on the lookout

885
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: for that. It's not the only thing that you look

886
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: for in a defensive player. These guys have a process,

887
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: you know what they look for in players, and it

888
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: has worked marvelously. But I think elite speed has got

889
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: to move up the priority list because that team is

890
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: still the measuring stick. You're not as fast as they are,

891
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: and they're gonna keep beating you with that speed unless

892
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: you find a way to match it in numbers on

893
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball and a story, and

894
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: you got to find it sec somewhere in free agency.

895
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: It has to be found or you're never beating that

896
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: team because they're just flat out faster than you. Kills.

897
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,439
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say never, because they should have beaten

898
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: him this time. They had them on the ropes and

899
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: all they needed was one play. So one play was

900
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 1: made by Tyreek Hill sixty four yards to the house.

901
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but we had Gabe Davis doing the same

902
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: thing to them. So the thing is this team in Buffalo,

903
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: You're right defensively, I don't know if you can match

904
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: their speed. But here's what the Bills did that nobody

905
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: else seems to be able to do. They just scored

906
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: with him, right, they scored with him. But you have

907
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: fast enough guys to stop them once, maybe twice. It's

908
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: not even a three point game at the end. You're

909
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: winning by ten. Give me some speed on defense, that's

910
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 1: what I want. Don't forget too their kick. Their field

911
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: goal kicker missed one and an extra point, so they

912
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: you might have needed it. So fair enough, all right,

913
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,720
Speaker 1: We gotta take a break here because when we come back,

914
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: it is our final visit of the twenty twenty one

915
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: season with Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt. I'm sure he'll

916
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: be giving us therapy after what happens Sunday night. We'll

917
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: join in with him when we come back here on

918
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live. Stay tuned at a Steve Tasker who

919
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: has been all over the fields. Kind of unique. He

920
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: was out of a dual role fighter state, Steve a blimp.

921
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: We're not even in the stragedyre of normalcy, all right.

922
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to our number two, Chris Brown. Steve Tasker. One

923
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: feels Live is the show, and please to be joined

924
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: now by the man from Good Morning Football that we

925
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: all know and love, one Kyle Brandt, joining us. Kyle

926
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: from the euphoria of the wild card round and pure

927
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: perfection to the gut wrenching, heart ripout stomping Charlie Brown

928
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: raincloud following life that we live here in Buffalo. It

929
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: has all come to an end. It has in in

930
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: glorious yet devastating fashion. It was that's some kind of right, guys,

931
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: It really was in I just built the last touchdown

932
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: to Davis and I'm just like light the cigar, send

933
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: the tweet, start the party, and then your whole life

934
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: turned upside down in a few mind boggling plays, crazy

935
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: way to end. And yet there's this sort of uplifting

936
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: thing sort of at the end that the future is

937
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: so bright and the talent is so good and it

938
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: was just so cool to be involved in that game.

939
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: But I think it stops right there, and that was

940
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: no other way to sell it. A devastating loss with

941
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,919
Speaker 1: just a splash of controversy at the end too. Yeah,

942
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: it was fun. And I know this too, and the

943
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 1: reason and I said it three years ago or whenever

944
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: it was when the Chiefs lost in overtime to the

945
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: Patriots in the same building, when Mahomes never got a

946
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: shot to come out, they wanted to change the rules

947
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: then because of the same thing they got these two guys.

948
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't think one of the reasons you know, people

949
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: are starting to talk about they're talking about changing the

950
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: overtime rules it's unfair, that is because you don't ever

951
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: want that game to end. That that's why we watch football.

952
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: I mean, just sit there and watch that touchdown drive

953
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: after touchdown drive with less and less and less and

954
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: less time on the clock. I mean, it was, like

955
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: I keep telling, I used their I was. It was

956
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: like Heroin and I was a junkie. Man, just shoot

957
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: it in my vein. It was awesome. It was awesome,

958
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: I know, and it's um. You know, the game's been

959
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: replaying on NFL Network and I turned it on just

960
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes and all of a sudden, Steve

961
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: I was with you. I was riding that train again,

962
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: and I felt like some sort of junkie. But then

963
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 1: I had to turn it off because I know how

964
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: it ends. Look if you're a Chiefs fan, can you

965
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: imagine it's they're standing there and saying like, we took

966
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: your best punch, We took it, We took everything you had,

967
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: and somehow, by some crazy thirteen second long miracle, we

968
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: still won. And I guess if you're looking for silver linings,

969
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: there's every motivational poster, every motivational tweet, every T shirt,

970
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: every piece of merchandise for the next eight months for

971
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo's thirteen seconds. Thirteen seconds, that's that's where we were,

972
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: and that's where we got to get back. Because Bridan,

973
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: I know you've been thinking about this. Someone asked me like, um,

974
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, as if for the Bills, where do they

975
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,439
Speaker 1: go from here? What can they possibly say? They had

976
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback who's never been playing better, The defense was

977
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: surging with confidence coming off New England. They started to

978
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: run the ball a bit. They were just doing everything.

979
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: If not now, if they couldn't beat them, then when

980
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: will they beat them? Right? And it's fair and it's valid.

981
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 1: The only thing I can come up with is that

982
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 1: you gotta play that game in Buffalo. You got to

983
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: play the game in Buffalo. And that's the only other

984
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 1: thing they could do better. Sure you could add a

985
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: player or two or whatever, but man, you got you

986
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: get Trey White. Sure, but play the game in Buffalo.

987
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: Has got to be a golfer for the Bills next year, right, Yeah,

988
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: I think, and I should. I forgot to mention this

989
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: at the top. We appreciate you wearing black for us

990
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: today because this you know, this entire community is still

991
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: in mourning. Were we've been the better. We've been therapists

992
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: essentially for the last forty eight hours and it only continues.

993
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: And I think the reason why, Kyle, this is my theory. Anyway,

994
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: last year, you know, this team rolls people at the

995
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: end of the season, they're thirteen and three. You know,

996
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: their host in playoff games for the first time in

997
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: twenty five years. COVID has kept everybody apart. This team

998
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: kept the community literally together. It was an enormously enjoyable ride,

999
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,919
Speaker 1: and they just enjoyed it for as long as it went.

1000
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: This year, because of last year, those expectations were through

1001
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: the roof. And then they play the perfect game that

1002
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 1: you were at and witnessed in full spectacle. It only

1003
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: ratcheted up the expectations even more. Going into the title bout.

1004
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,959
Speaker 1: It was Ali Frasier two, I mean or three? Which

1005
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: I picked your Ali Frasier bout. I don't care which

1006
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: one it is. And then when you come out on

1007
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: the short end, I mean, for a Western New York

1008
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: community that knows disappointment maybe better than any other pro

1009
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: sports fans, they had to, you know, they were subjected

1010
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 1: to it again. And people were telling me it felt

1011
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 1: like we lost the Super Bowl, even though it wasn't.

1012
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: That's what it felt like. That's how palpable it was

1013
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: for Bills fans. It felt like we were watching the

1014
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I still couldn't believe that there was a

1015
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: divisional Round Game. As much as we loved is Joe

1016
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: Burrow and everything, I still can't believe that he gets

1017
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: to go to the title game and one of these

1018
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: teams has to go home. It feels odd. And for me, listen,

1019
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: we've talked about this before. Grew up in Chicago in

1020
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties, so everything comes back to Jordan

1021
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: for me. And this could go one of two ways.

1022
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: In the Jordan era, there's a list of guys you

1023
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: could rattle them off, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, John Stockton,

1024
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: and they just never got a title because Jordan was

1025
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: too Jordans. He was just too you throw him in.

1026
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: If you look at Patrick Mahomes as the Jordan, if

1027
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: that's your perspective, and to say, sorry, wrong era, they're

1028
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: too good and they're too powerful at home, or the

1029
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: other way that I choose to look at it as

1030
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: Jordan couldn't beat the Pistons. He just couldn't do it,

1031
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: the bad boy Pistons and Isaiah Thomas and Rick mchorn

1032
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: and Mark McGuire and Bill Lambier. Year after year, it

1033
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: was these great regular seasons and Jordan was amazing, and

1034
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: they'd run into the Pistons and they would lose. Eventually,

1035
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: he just said, I'm just I'm gonna be undeniable and

1036
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna build a slightly better team and I'm just

1037
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 1: gonna kill myself to beat these guys. And he swept them.

1038
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: So that's how you have to look at it. You

1039
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: can say, oh, Man, wrong era, wrong conference, Mahomes is amazing,

1040
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: or you can say the hell with that. We're gonna

1041
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: finally get over this wall. If Jordan can do it,

1042
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: Josh can do it. Yeah, And I'll say this too.

1043
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: And the last Over the last year, the Bills and

1044
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs have played three times. The Chiefs have scored one

1045
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: hundred points. The Bills have scored ninety eight. Um, I

1046
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: don't think there's that. And I said this even after

1047
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: last year's eighteen point law or sixteen point loss to

1048
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the Chiefs AFC Championship game. They're not

1049
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: that far away. They can beat that team. They proved

1050
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: it in the regular season. They came in and they

1051
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: and they bludgeoned him. So they came out this last

1052
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: game and this was this is one of those like

1053
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: the rubber match, right, who's gonna win this game? And man,

1054
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: oh man, what a phenomenal game it was. You can

1055
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: whether it's the bounce of the ball, what a play

1056
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: here or play there there? And look at the two

1057
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks there is there is like zero difference between those

1058
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: two guys. They are unbelievable. So yeah, I think if

1059
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: you can get that game in Buffalo, it's a different

1060
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: result if you're gonna still play him in Kansas City

1061
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 1: where they play them again next year, And I'll predict

1062
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: it opening weekend, one of the primetime games gonna be

1063
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes against Josh Allen the opening weekend. I'll tell

1064
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,919
Speaker 1: you that right now. So there's no reason to shy

1065
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: away from it or think, wow, we'll never get over

1066
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: that hump that Listen you, they're there the Chiefs. For

1067
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: all the problems the Bills have, the Chiefs have the

1068
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: same kind of problems. They're the same team. Now. Despite

1069
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: the fact that the Chiefs have won two important games,

1070
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: the Bills are there, and there's no reason to run

1071
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: scared from anybody. Certainly, you build your team to beat

1072
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: the best teams, but I think the Bills did that.

1073
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: They didn't beat them with speed. And I told this

1074
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: to Brownie. They can score with those guys, and that's

1075
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: how you gotta beat him right now. Remember when we

1076
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: used to talk about sugar Hi Josh Allen like that,

1077
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: that guy's gone. That just sugar Hi Josh Allen was

1078
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: a joke that the moment would get too excited for him,

1079
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: and he, you know, wet the floor like a labrador

1080
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: just because he had too much adrenaline. He was this

1081
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: childlike thing. There was not a trace of that guy.

1082
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: On Sunday night, we saw this, the fully developed, cold

1083
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: blooded killer. I mean even there were so many times

1084
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: when you though, oh man, they might be screwed. This

1085
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: might be it. When he almost got sacked and dumped

1086
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: it to Singletary for that big loss at the end

1087
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: of the game, and I think that gave him the

1088
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: fourth and fourteen. Yeah, you're like, well, they'll knock the

1089
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: pass down and the Bills are gonna lose. No, just

1090
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: another bullet through the air. There's nothing that could have

1091
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: stopped him. The one has stopped him, as he called,

1092
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: leaping the tails instead of heads. And then we'll see

1093
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: you next year. Ry, he mentioned Jordan, and I get

1094
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: why growing up a Knicks fan, that still hurts. But

1095
01:00:55,840 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: in any event, yeah, I want to ask you this, because,

1096
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: as you know, for the longest time, there was only

1097
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: one Jordan in the entire league. Nobody could come close

1098
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: to him, nobody could match him. Babe would say, Clyde Drexeler,

1099
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean, give me a break. Um, So with Mahomes

1100
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: and with Alan, can there be two Jordans in this league?

1101
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Are they appeared to be? And Brownie before I gn

1102
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: answered that. The legend has it that if you go

1103
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: to Madison Square Garden in the middle of the night,

1104
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,479
Speaker 1: Charles Davis is still trying to put that back. Charles

1105
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Smith Smith, He's still getting blocked. Thanks for that. He's

1106
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: doing it all these years. I'm sure he wasn't fouled

1107
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: on it. They blocked his shot twenty seven times in

1108
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: a row without any contact at all. Hey, it was

1109
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: a different league. They let him play back, babies allowed. Um.

1110
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 1: But to answer your question, uh, I think that we

1111
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: came out of that game it never mind me, never

1112
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: mind you guys. Anybody watching that game in Seattle or

1113
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Chicago or Texas. Alan looked every bit of Mahomes equal.

1114
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: He really did. He didn't make the mistake. His running

1115
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: was ridiculous, his passing was ridiculous. And you know, I

1116
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: still don't think that he has a tire reek and

1117
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: I still don't think he has Kelsey's got good players

1118
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: around him, but he still doesn't have absolute weapons of

1119
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: mass destruction, especially with the role that the Diggs was

1120
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: minimized too. So we were talking about this at the

1121
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: table actually yesterday and Good Morning Football, and almost identically,

1122
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: I think we were talking about Michael Jordan again, and

1123
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: was this the dueling Spider Man game? Was this Jordan

1124
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: versus Jordan or was that, you know, Jordan versus Dominique.

1125
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, someone would come up, like

1126
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: a drexlut you mentioned, and they would say, this is

1127
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: the next Jordan, this is Jordan's equal hack. I remember

1128
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: Dominique's brother, Gerald Wilkins, was the Jordan's stopper. I mean,

1129
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: that was embarrassing. That's not Josh Allen. Josh Allen's been

1130
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: in the playoffs a year after year now, he's been

1131
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: to a title game. He's destroyed the Patriots in a

1132
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: playoff game. I came out of that thinking, man, they lost.

1133
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: But you know, I think Josh Dowen was Mahomes equally.

1134
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't not the resume he does right, But he's right

1135
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 1: now he has the game. I think what what gives

1136
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: Bills fans just a wee bit of consternation. I think

1137
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: there is supreme confidence that this team will be back again.

1138
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: But if you look at NFL history, like the Brady

1139
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 1: Manning thing, took Manning six times to finally beat Brady, Um,

1140
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: if that can happen here in Buffalo, we won't have

1141
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 1: anybody left. People will be jumping off of bridges and

1142
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can handle that. I'll say

1143
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: this though, that game in Kansas City, I mean Josh

1144
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 1: Allen and Mahomes looked the same way. I mean they

1145
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 1: look like like a football version of John Wick. I

1146
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: mean like the Boogeyman. I mean, you just can't get

1147
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: both these guys. You got to drive a stake through

1148
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 1: their heart and vast unbelievable, just just absolutely unbelieving. So

1149
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun going forward with

1150
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: what we can see out of both these these players

1151
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: and the franchise and the players around him. And it's

1152
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: just a bummer that there's now we got a long

1153
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: offseason here in Buffalo to wait until it happens again,

1154
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 1: and we're subject to Mahomes at least for one more week,

1155
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: probably a couple more weeks. But yeah, it's fun. I

1156
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: mean it's really fun. Well listen, it's so fun. And

1157
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: I've never had more fun watching a football game as

1158
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: an adult than I did watching The Bill's Chiefs the

1159
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: other night. But I think we're saying, Okay, Alan proved

1160
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: these mahomes equal. Great Now it's to pay attention to

1161
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: it is just okay, you got the superstar quarterback. He

1162
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: looks amazing, he says the right things, he does the

1163
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: right things. Who is around them? Who is going to

1164
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 1: be the rest of the people on this team moving forward?

1165
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: Because God sitting here saying, you know, we're gonna have

1166
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: a shout out this. Every single year you think, name

1167
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: a pastor name there's a million guy. Marino never got back,

1168
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: Rogers never got back. Those guys were the best people

1169
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: to throw football ever, and they just don't sniff the

1170
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: thing ever again because of a combination of bad luck,

1171
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: bad beats, and maybe sometimes bad rock. So great you

1172
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: got Josh Allen. That is not a free pass to

1173
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: the title game or even the division round. Every single year,

1174
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: this is when you really hunker down. If you're the

1175
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: front office and say we got Josh, Now what are

1176
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: we missing? Because I thought that was last year. I

1177
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: thought that was we're gonna build a team to beat

1178
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and they tried, but there's still just something missing,

1179
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: as small as it may be. So that becomes now

1180
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: the question we've had this conversation. I think the thing

1181
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: that has set this upport, this administration, this GM and

1182
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: coach apart, and the way they run things. They never

1183
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: ask what they're missing. What they've asked and continually throughout

1184
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 1: their whole build throughout the five years is we're getting

1185
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: better everywhere, no matter what. We're not just going to

1186
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: resign a good a couple of good offensive linemen that

1187
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 1: played well forced last year. We're signing their replacements as well,

1188
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: and they're going to compete. They have really to every season,

1189
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,439
Speaker 1: every offseason they have attacked on him. They brought Mitch

1190
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: Trubisky in as a number two or three overall pick

1191
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: as a backup. They didn't nobody missed beat because hey,

1192
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: Josh is the guy. Yeah, there's a lot of quarterbacks

1193
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 1: don't handle that real well. But they're bringing guys in

1194
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: and they and that's one of the things that has

1195
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: elevated the Bills in the offseason and helped them to

1196
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: stay competitive. Is that who had a really good year? Oh,

1197
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. Yeah, we're signing you know, we're signing Zach

1198
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 1: Ertz this offseason. We're signing We're gonna trade for this guy.

1199
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: Nobody sleeps anywhere on this roster, and I think it's

1200
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: really paid dividends in games like this last one. I

1201
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: was gonna say. They also at this front office also

1202
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: asks where is the league going? They try to stay

1203
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve in terms of where it's going.

1204
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 1: And coach McDermott at a season wrap up press conference

1205
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 1: today and I asked him a question. You know, as

1206
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: fundamentally sounded defense as you might have, it gets compromised

1207
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: when you're playing elite speed like that. Do you need

1208
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: to add speed to your roster? And he pretty much said, yeah,

1209
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: it's a valid point. We absolutely have to because you

1210
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: could play the best, most assignment sound defense ever, but

1211
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: your angle of entry on defense could be perfect to

1212
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: make a tackle that guy's ten yards down the field

1213
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: because he's just two damn fat. I know. Well, so

1214
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: to that point that this season has been over for

1215
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: two days, this time. I started asking the question watching

1216
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: that game, if you could have snapped your fingers and

1217
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 1: added an impact player at any position, I wonder what

1218
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: the consensus stairs in Western New York. In my opinion,

1219
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: I felt like there were thirty plays in that game

1220
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: where they almost had the Hall. Yeah, they almost sacked them,

1221
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 1: and he would do one of those wiggle spin things

1222
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,040
Speaker 1: or duck under it and then get out and prow

1223
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: for a first down. I just I felt like they

1224
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: just needed one more pass rusher. And I know they've tried,

1225
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: and they drafted Grout and I get it. Pass rusher

1226
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 1: for me, what's the consensus for you guys? Yeah, I mean,

1227
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: if can you reincarnate Darryl Green at age twenty four,

1228
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: I'll take that, you know what I mean, maybe one

1229
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: of those guys, and what the hell put Champ Bailey

1230
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: on the other side. I mean, I think you gotta, yeah,

1231
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: some pure speedback there. It's interesting too, because the Bills

1232
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: have drafted two pass three pass rushers over the last

1233
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: two year, four defensive linemen over the past three years

1234
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: with their top picks with their top picks, and I

1235
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 1: and I would agree, big guys, big athletic guys are

1236
01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: the hardest athletes to find because they're they're hard. There's

1237
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,839
Speaker 1: not that many of them. There's a lot of great

1238
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: athletes that you know, even guys that are undrafted, great

1239
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 1: athletes at the cornerback as safety, linebacker spots. But size

1240
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: and athleticism to that degree is rare. It's rare, and

1241
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: that's why you got to spend high draft picks getting

1242
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: guys like that, both on the offensive line side of

1243
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 1: the things and the defensive line side of the things.

1244
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 1: And I think the Bills are right there again. I

1245
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: think they'll they'll spend their draft picks there as well,

1246
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: because those guys are just harder to find as as

1247
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: we've seen now. And here's the thing I'm saying, even

1248
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 1: saying that Tyreek Hills a unicorn, I mean, there's nobody

1249
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: that can catch that guy. And it's so yeah, I mean,

1250
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: you can start to revamp and everything like that, but

1251
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: just remember this. The Bills had every reason to think

1252
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna win that game. So it's not like they're

1253
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: doing anything wrong or their process has been wrong, or

1254
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: their draft philosophy has been wrong. They're gonna be fine.

1255
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: But they still got I mean, they still got to

1256
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: grind it. I mean, they still gotta keep on keeping on,

1257
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: but I like where they're at. I'm very hopeful for

1258
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:27,679
Speaker 1: the future. And I'm glad too that you know, everybody now,

1259
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: not just us, thinks Josh Allen is that guy. Yeah,

1260
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 1: nobody's doubting anymore. Kyle, last question I have for you

1261
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: because we all know how there are new kids on

1262
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: the block with each passing year with the AFC quarterbacks

1263
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: that are you know, maturing getting better. You know, you

1264
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: see Joe Burrow in the AFC title game this weekend.

1265
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: I think Herbert's gonna be on the come next year,

1266
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: and that team, you know, with a couple more moves,

1267
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: probably gets in the playoffs. The Chiefs are still the

1268
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: measuring stick. But who in your mind do you think

1269
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 1: team like the Bills may have to also look out

1270
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: for next year in the well, it ain't the Jets,

1271
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: and it ain't the Dolphins, and apparently it's not the

1272
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: Patriots right now. It Listen, it's hard not to be

1273
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: absolutely fascinated by Joe Burrow. It never mind all that,

1274
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 1: never mind when he beat Case, which was awesome, or

1275
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: all the things he's done with Chase. This dude taken

1276
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 1: nine sacks and just getting up and not giving a

1277
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: damn and getting up and throwing for big throws to

1278
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: set up a winning field goal. On a playoff game,

1279
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: you get hit eight nine sacks at best. At best,

1280
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: some of your throws are coming up a little short.

1281
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,719
Speaker 1: You're kind of watching the rush. At worst, you're quitting.

1282
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 1: You're screaming a lineman. You're sentence is a joke, getting

1283
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: me out of here. He did none of that. And

1284
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: a lot of guys can throw, and a lot of

1285
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,919
Speaker 1: guys are big and fast, Like I just can't believe

1286
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: the demeanor that he has. This guy is so calm.

1287
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: It's I feel like he should be at some kind

1288
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:56,719
Speaker 1: of watch list or something. He has like a dexter

1289
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: factor to him. I can't believe that he is as

1290
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: calm as he is. So the FC North is always

1291
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 1: up and down Baltimore. Who knows what's gonnappen to Pittsburgh.

1292
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: But watch this dude this weekend. I don't know if

1293
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna win yet, but his polsters doesn't bounce and

1294
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: you can't coach that, and I'm really impressed. I think

1295
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: it's I think the league sitting in the greatest, particularly

1296
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 1: the AFC Conference, sitting in a fantastic spot. You've got

1297
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: a lot of fun guys to watch. Josh Mahomes, Trevor Lawrence,

1298
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: we haven't even seen the first the best of him yet,

1299
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: of course, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, all of the guys.

1300
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: It's really fun to watch these young players and how

1301
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: successful it is. Do you think there's too much offense

1302
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: in the league? And they're kind of saying like defense

1303
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 1: doesn't count anymore. I'm starting to feel that dot on

1304
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: the horizon of like, you know, this looks a little

1305
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: too easy. Well, the forty nine ers just won thirteen

1306
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: to ten in Lambo field, so we got hope for

1307
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: us guys. I saw the MVP, but of ten points

1308
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: in the snow, there's still a couple old soldiers out

1309
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: there task for who really knocking around, and maybe one

1310
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 1: gets to the super Bowl this year, maybe Kyle's been.

1311
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: It's been enormous fun with you this year. Great to

Speaker 1: the reset button next fall. Guys, thank you. It's been

1318
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,640

Speaker 1: and welcoming. And I wish the game this season had

1323
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,599

1324
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 1: great ride, and I cannot wait to take it next year.

1325
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 1: And as we end every segment, I will end with

1326
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: the prediction Week one of the twenty twenty two season

1327
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:54,240

1365
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's the first player in Bill's history with four

1366
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:11,440
Speaker 1: or more passing touchdowns in two straight playoff games. Congrats

1367
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 1: to both of them on some record breaking performances. Believing

1368
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: why you During the break, we went out and we looked.

1369
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,839
Speaker 1: You know, we are an infamous whiteboard that we mentioned

1370
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: from time to time. There's a couple of things written

1371
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: on it that I gotta I gotta come clean about.

1372
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 1: I said back some point in the off season last

1373
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: year that Alan because of the seventeenth regular season game

1374
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: and how I project I thought he was gonna throw

1375
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: for five thousand yards. I was wrong. Well, what hurt

1376
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 1: you were two things, the Jacksonville game and the fact

1377
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,640
Speaker 1: that they ran the ball down the stretch for the

1378
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: last six weeks of the season. I don't know if

1379
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 1: we foresaw that, we did not or I didn't well,

1380
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: I didn't. You know, I'm not gonna say that I

1381
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 1: would have should have could have gotten it right, because

1382
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:57,799
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have been anyway. There's that's one justin zimmer

1383
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: On offense never happened. Well, that got up with the

1384
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 1: ACL and yeah, that's right, that's not my I might

1385
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: have still got strong, but still there we go. What

1386
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? So all right, I got that

1387
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 1: one wrong, got Dawson Knox right, break out here, break

1388
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:11,679
Speaker 1: out here for Dawson. That's not on the white board? Though,

1389
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: Oh why didn't you do that? I didn't call it out.

1390
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: What can I say? But I say told you she

1391
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: did say that publicly. Alright. So then the second one, Um,

1392
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 1: I thought back in the day, they're back when they

1393
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 1: were switching quarterbacks, Jimmy g was gonna go back to

1394
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots. That never happened. Yeah, man, I think they

1395
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: might have liked it. They should probably should have done

1396
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: that one. I was still right about that even though

1397
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,880
Speaker 1: I was wrong. Aren't aren't he and Mac Jones kind

1398
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: of the same guy? For the most part. I might

1399
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: take Mac. They're kind of same guy, all right, anyway,

1400
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy g alright, I missed that, all right. Um. I

1401
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: thought the Bills would score fifty points on Thanksgiving in

1402
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 1: New Orleans. They did win, played thirty one, so I

1403
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: didn't get that right. I also said Greg Rousseau would

1404
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 1: have more sacks on the season than any Buffalo Bill

1405
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 1: did in twenty two twenty. He did not. He did not.

1406
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't get five that was, which was

1407
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: five he needed five and a half on the season.

1408
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 1: He didn't quite get there. I didn't quite get there right.

1409
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 1: And then I think, uh, yeah, that's it. Okay, that's it.

1410
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 1: Not bad. Yeah I was. It's like a batting average

1411
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 1: in baseball. If you're bad three hundred, you're doing okay. Yeah.

1412
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 1: Well I wasn't close, so you weren't. No, that was

1413
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,640
Speaker 1: all the nose and they're not writing the stuff that

1414
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: I got right. Once I get it right, I kind

1415
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: of erased it and we'd replaced oh oh, that's kind

1416
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: of foolish. So all the things I got right, which

1417
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: was hundreds of things, we were because there were so many,

1418
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:38,640
Speaker 1: we had to erase him to keep so there was

1419
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: a room on the for those of you that are

1420
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 1: just joining us. We played some comments. We played some

1431
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 1: in time. But we want to get back to the

1432
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 1: phones where people have been waiting patiently. We go to Ray,

1433
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: who's all the way down at South Carolina. What do

1434
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 1: you have for us? Ray? Hi, guys, I want to

1435
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 1: say that you are the best sports show, the only

1436
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 1: sport show I listened to. Thank you appreciate that. What

1437
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:33,679
Speaker 1: I want to say was, well, was last thirteen seconds

1438
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:35,560
Speaker 1: should never have happened. It was the one thing I

1439
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: thought most people missed yesterday. There's six quarterbacks that I

1440
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: certainly don't want to get thirteen seconds too, and all

1441
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: of them are in the playoffs this year. The two

1442
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 1: point conversion. Instead of kicking that extra point, we should

1443
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: have wanted the two point conversion, and we could have

1444
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: just had Josh run up the clock. The clock doesn't run. Well,

1445
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:03,599
Speaker 1: it's an untimed down ray the two point conversion. Yeah,

1446
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: the clock doesn't run. It's just like taking a pat.

1447
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 1: No time come, it's an untimed down. I thought it

1448
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 1: was time. Yeah, it's not an option. Bummer. Yeah, well,

1449
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's not the bummer. Appreciate it, well they yeah, yeah, yeah,

1450
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 1: the bummer is that not a single They needed just

1451
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:30,640
Speaker 1: one of the plays for the Chiefs to take a

1452
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: couple more seconds, either one or two of them, is

1453
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 1: take two more seconds each, or have played empty on

1454
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 1: one of those plays, or have them come up empty

1455
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: on one of the plays and force another play. Um,

1456
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: because they really they were they could have the four

1457
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: plays that they got. There's no way you could stop

1458
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: them if they because they unless they took one of

1459
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: those plays, took longer to run, which is why there's

1460
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 1: there's a thought out there that you should have gone

1461
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: up maybe tackled Uh Kelsey or tackled Tyreek, tackle those

1462
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 1: guys right at the line of scrim image and then

1463
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: watch Mahomes. He's like, oh, you're tackling my guys. What

1464
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: are you doing? And have him try and make something

1465
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 1: happen on that play. After that, you take a five

1466
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,879
Speaker 1: yard holding penalty or even even a past interference penalty,

1467
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 1: But the time on the clock goes because Mahomes is

1468
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 1: trying to make something happen, trying to make something happen,

1469
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:18,639
Speaker 1: trying to make something happen, and then you stop him

1470
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, yeah, many ways, there's like that. There's

1471
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 1: a ton of Yeah, there's a ton of would as,

1472
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:27,559
Speaker 1: should have could us going around Now I get it.

1473
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 1: But the simple fact of the matter is, you know,

1474
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds. I you know, maybe there's that thought that

1475
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 1: some of these guys are like, listen to just keep

1476
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,400
Speaker 1: in front of us. They're gonna do this. Yeah, all right,

1477
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: back to the phones into Eric in Lancaster next, Yeah

1478
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 1: for us, Eric, Hey, guys, Warrior, just a couple of things,

1479
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: guy before you kind of stole my thunder a little bit.

1480
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 1: But you know, it's funny that I'm thinking that Kansas

1481
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 1: City must have had some kind of defensive scheme that

1482
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: makes you take away you know, Digs and Knox. They

1483
01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: were successful in that. I see him, and it seems

1484
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 1: like we obviously didn't have the I mean on those

1485
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: at last thirteen seconds, everybody in the world who watched

1486
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: his football is like, hit Kelsey, hit Hill. I mean,

1487
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 1: it's coaching one on one in my mind, you know,

1488
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 1: I beyond me. I can't believe they didn't do that.

1489
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 1: But on another thing, like the last caller had said,

1490
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: was yeah, when we scored that last touchdown, what do

1491
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 1: we have to lose to go for two points? We

1492
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:29,639
Speaker 1: were We were super the whole game. We went from

1493
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: fourth town, We took risks, we were aggressive, We did

1494
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: a two point conversion. Why in the world, and if

1495
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 1: you don't make it, you still got to defend them

1496
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 1: not kicking a field goal to win. But my lord,

1497
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,879
Speaker 1: why would you not go for that? It just boggles

1498
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: my mind that they didn't at least go you got

1499
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: you got you got our quarterback to get run through walls.

1500
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: It seems I didn't think anyone's gonna stop him. But

1501
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 1: if he did, all right, so what then you kick

1502
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 1: off and you stop him? What you didn't anyway, and

1503
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:57,560
Speaker 1: then it comes down to a coin flip. That's just

1504
01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 1: that's just my theory. And the last last thing I

1505
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 1: wanted to say was, yeah, I think Mahomes is a

1506
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 1: class act. I don't hate the guy. I mean, I've

1507
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: seen that guy run by everybody in the world, drop

1508
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,599
Speaker 1: his helmet just to go, you know, see Allen. So

1509
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 1: I just wanted to give my two cents on it

1510
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 1: and hear from you. And last thing I told my son,

1511
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I lived through four super

1512
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 1: Bowl losses, of course, like you did too, Steve and

1513
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 1: a lot of other people. But I think it was

1514
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 1: better we lost a game like that that last week

1515
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 1: then in Buffalo, God forbid to go to the super Bowl.

1516
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: That's just my thought. So I'll hang up and listen. Thanks.

1517
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: You don't think is going to win? Well no, no,

1518
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,760
Speaker 1: He's saying, it's better to lose that one on the

1519
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: road than this following week to have a home game

1520
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 1: and then lose this one in front of the home

1521
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: fans in Buffalo. He thinks that would be that would

1522
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: feel even worse then well, losing it last week like

1523
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 1: you do. Don't get to play in bigger games and

1524
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 1: have it not feel worse than anything. I mean, that's

1525
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 1: just you know what you sign up for. Yeah, you

1526
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: gotta know what to sign up for it. He's talking

1527
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:00,640
Speaker 1: with the two point thing. I don't know what he

1528
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: wanted to go for two? When when it was thirty

1529
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: six thirty thirty six, when they went up thirty six

1530
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: thirty three by kicking the extra point, he wanted them

1531
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 1: to go for two there, didn't they go for two? No?

1532
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 1: What was the mass kicked it? When was the two

1533
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: point conversion to digs that was the prior one to

1534
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 1: make it twenty nine twenty six. I want to say, okay,

1535
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 1: I think that was twenty nine twenty six. And then

1536
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: at the end they kicked the extra point to go

1537
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:29,400
Speaker 1: up by three with thirteen seconds left in the game.

1538
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 1: He's arguing, if you go for two there, now you're

1539
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 1: up four and they can't beat you in regulation with

1540
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 1: a field goal. Now, of course, if you don't get it,

1541
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,759
Speaker 1: you lose the game in regulation based on what happened afterwards,

1542
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 1: But he's saying, you got Josh Allen, go for two there,

1543
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 1: go up by four, and now they need to get

1544
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: to the end zone in thirteen seconds, not kick a

1545
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 1: field goal that right, I get it. I get it.

1546
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 1: So that's his argument. Yeah, yeah, sure, Hey we sh

1547
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 1: it would have worked that way. Yeah, where stated Let's

1548
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: go to Tom in West Seneca X. What do you

1549
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: have for us? Tom? And gotten the two points? Hey?

1550
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 1: Christ and Hi Steve, Steve, And I gotta tell you

1551
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 1: you are like, I'm humbled to be talking to you,

1552
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 1: the MVP of the ninety three Pro Bowl, probably one

1553
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 1: of the best to play the position. Love it, Appreciate

1554
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:25,720
Speaker 1: you all right. Anyway, I agree with Chris um the four.

1555
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean I lived through the fourth Super Bowls too.

1556
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sixty four now. It hurt. The first

1557
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: one hurts the worst. I think the first Super Bowl

1558
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: that we lost on wife, right, But I think Sunday's

1559
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 1: game head It's got the most sting to it because

1560
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds last, I mean, there was so much emotion

1561
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 1: going to me, my wife. She's from the living room,

1562
01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 1: but I'm in the kitchen, lights on my laptop, and

1563
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 1: I swear I don't know how many I Supos says,

1564
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,599
Speaker 1: I throw it in the last couple of minutes going,

1565
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe it the happening. I go and all

1566
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 1: of a sudden I don't believe it. We're gonna win.

1567
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 1: This is gonna take a long time to get over. Yeah.

1568
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: That was the only other thing I wanted comments on

1569
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:15,760
Speaker 1: is Yeah, our tackling and making really could have used

1570
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: a lot of work, especially let me Mahomes get away

1571
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: from us so many times. Yeah, I wrote that. I

1572
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,719
Speaker 1: wrote that. Yeah, I wrote that after the game Tom

1573
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 1: tackling was a problem. It was probably their worst tackling

1574
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:31,600
Speaker 1: game since the Colts game when they couldn't get a

1575
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 1: handle on Jonathan Taylor. And that's another elite speed athlete

1576
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: who also brings some punch with his pads. But you

1577
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 1: gotta add more speed on defense to get to get

1578
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: the angles on these guys. These guys outrun angles. Um,

1579
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's Mahomes dodging defensive linemen, whether it's

1580
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, receivers just flat out out running people. I

1581
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 1: mean that's how that US have been built for five

1582
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 1: six years now. They've had some interchangeable parts, but just

1583
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:08,840
Speaker 1: about everybody in their top three wide receiver group can

1584
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: flat out fly, and it's hard to match up just

1585
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 1: because of the pure speed. I think that has to

1586
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 1: be prioritized if you're gonna beat this team. I'm not

1587
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 1: saying speed is what wins championships, but it certainly helps

1588
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 1: even when you're struggling. You get one play out of

1589
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,800
Speaker 1: somebody like Hill sixty four yard touchdown, you turn the

1590
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 1: game on its ear. Yeah, you just do. Yeah. So

1591
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's the only thing you need, but

1592
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 1: I think it's got to be moved up the priority

1593
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:40,639
Speaker 1: list if you've got to still get by this team.

1594
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: And there's no indication that this team's going anywhere. So

1595
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: that's where I'm at on it. We have to we're

1596
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 1: broadcasting for either Well that's true. Yeah, that's true. And

1597
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 1: I'll say this, those guys are as worried about us

1598
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 1: as we are about them. Yeah. Well, yeah that's fair.

1599
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: But you know, you know how this front office works,

1600
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: and we said it when we at Kyle Branton with us,

1601
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:04,280
Speaker 1: they not only ask how we cow can we get better?

1602
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: They ask where is the league going? And they try

1603
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: to stay ahead of that curve. And I think the

1604
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs have proven speeds a part of it. It's a

1605
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 1: part of staying at the top of the mountain. If

1606
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: you're the fastest, you enhance your chances of being the best.

1607
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean it might be an oversimplification. I don't know

1608
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 1: scheme and xs and ohs like a coach does. But

1609
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 1: speed is undeniable. And I still stand by the phrase

1610
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:37,679
Speaker 1: that we've heard for decades. Speed kills, and it did

1611
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. We'll be back to close things up

1612
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 1: in a moment. You're on one Bill's Live presented by

1613
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:59,000
Speaker 1: KLADA Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. A footnote here on

1614
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:02,680
Speaker 1: the Bills Chief AFC Divisional playoff game. It produced a

1615
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:06,640
Speaker 1: monster audience, not surprisingly in the Kansas City market. The

1616
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 1: game on CBS had a fifty five point three rating

1617
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:13,679
Speaker 1: and an eighty five share. That means eighty five percent

1618
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: of all televisions that were on in Kansas City were

1619
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 1: tuned to the game. The game's final quarter hour saw

1620
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 1: that share go up to ninety. Ninety percent of the

1621
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: televisions in Kansas City were tuned to that game. The

1622
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:30,520
Speaker 1: next biggest one was PBS, it had three percent. Yeah,

1623
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:34,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo's numbers are supposed to come out today. I have

1624
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 1: not seen them yet, but the Bills games this year

1625
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 1: in Buffalo pulled the NFL's biggest local TV audience during

1626
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 1: the regular season, followed by Kansas City. Buffalo's numbers were

1627
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:52,720
Speaker 1: up twelve percent in viewership to what they were last year,

1628
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 1: and the expectations obviously had a big hand in that.

1629
01:28:56,720 --> 01:29:00,760
Speaker 1: Some quick tweet sheet comments, Steve says, when will we

1630
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 1: move on from the playoff loss? As awful as it was,

1631
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 1: I've already moved on. I know we can score with Ksey,

1632
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 1: and people need to keep it in mind that we

1633
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 1: played that game without a pro bowler or a best

1634
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:12,839
Speaker 1: defensive player tradevious White. You can't wallow in the negatives.

1635
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,640
Speaker 1: You have to take the positives and move on confidently.

1636
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 1: Words to Live by Brandon Bean, addressing the media tomorrow.

1637
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: We'll have it cover for you here. We'll see you

1638
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:29,760
Speaker 1: tomorrow at one
