00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome into a Wednesday edition of One Bill's Lives.

3
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: Now is flying here. Players are inside for a walkthrough practice.

4
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you as always, and this

5
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: week's game against the Jets is presented by high Mark

6
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: Blue Cross Blue Shield. High Mark is the official health

7
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: plan of the Buffalo Bills because life and as we said,

8
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: just a walk through practice today. They'll get back to

9
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: more of a traditional practice tomorrow, although this time of year,

10
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: the pads really aren't going on during the course of

11
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: the practice week. There's just you're at the end of

12
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: the season. A lot of beat up bodies. Don't need

13
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: to put any more hits on those bodies in the

14
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: practice setting unnecessarily.

15
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, I remember days like this and

16
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: it even walked through, it just feels like I'm exhausted. Yeah,

17
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: I mean it hurts.

18
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.

19
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: I want to get your rest this time. Stay off

20
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: your feet as much as you can.

21
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: That's it.

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: The bye week for the playoff teams is such a

23
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: huge advantage and it's just a ways.

24
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of those teams are usually the ones

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: that wind up going to the super Bowl. It's a

26
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: big reason why the Chiefs went to what was it,

27
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: five out of the last six Super Bowls.

28
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: They were really good in the regular season. They found

29
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: ways to win those games in September and October never

30
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: dropped one.

31
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: And we get the buy and you all have to

32
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: win two games, both of which are at home, and

33
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: you're in the dance.

34
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

35
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: So you get that two week vacation. You get that

36
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: from Sunday of one game all the way till Saturday

37
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: at the next of two games later. It's just, uh,

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: it feels like a month off. Yeah, it's Yeah, it's

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: a huge boost.

40
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 2: Bill's practice updates are presented by Lee Coom your Lake

41
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, and there was some interesting

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: news on this front. We won't get to that right

43
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: off the rip here. We'll just tell you who's participating

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: and not participating. So head coach Joan McDermott provided the

45
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: update about an hour ago. As we said, it's a

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: walk through practice. But those who are not participating today

47
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, Terrell Bernard, who has already been declared out

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: of this game with his calf injury Joey Bosa, Daikwon Jones,

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: Jordan Poyer, and Reggie Gilliam was a new addition due

50
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: to illness, not an injury Allan as we know the foot,

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: Bosa has a hamstring, Daikwon Jones has a calf, and

52
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: Poyer as a hamstring. Coach McDermott did say Josh Allen

53
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: continues to progress in a way that has him in

54
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: better form than he was last week at this time

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: with the foot ailment, but a decision on his playing

56
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: time for Sunday has not yet been made. McDermott said

57
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: Allen's health is their top priority. Limited for practice today,

58
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, cam Lewis, Jordan Phillips. Coach McDermott

59
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: did say that Kincaid is a further ahead this week

60
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: than he was last week. In other Bill's injury news,

61
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: defensive tackle Ed Oliver, who has been recovering from a

62
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: torn biceps tendon, had to have his knee scoped after

63
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: he had a meniscus tear. That procedure took place on Monday.

64
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: McDermott admitted it has clouded the window for Oliver's return

65
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: in the postseason, though McDermott said Oliver still has a

66
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: chainants to return to the roster at some point in

67
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

68
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: How about that, you're out there, you.

69
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: Said it happened during his rehabbing of the biceps.

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: Obviously, you know his biceps feeling better. He starts and

71
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: we see him out here. He's working out and stuff.

72
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: We've seen him.

73
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: He's running, he's trying to get in game shape when

74
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 3: he can't practice, you know what I mean. So he's

75
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: out they're out here rehabing and they say it's rehab,

76
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: but he's working out, trying to get in shape, he's training.

77
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: He nicks his meniscaus, he's got to get a knee surgery.

78
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, are you serious? Now?

79
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: It's a scope?

80
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: Are you serious?

81
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: I know, come on, it's a scope. Scopes usually take

82
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: two to four weeks from which to recover. We're not

83
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: going to pretend to know the extent of the scope,

84
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: like is it a major scope, is it a little

85
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: clean up? And usually it takes longer for bigger, heavier

86
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: players to recover from that. So just hope, uh he

87
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: can heal quickly and and if he can't play next week,

88
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: hopefully the Bills can win in advance and they can

89
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: get him for the divisional round. But I think there

90
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: was a good chance, absent this knee issue, that he

91
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: would have been in the lineup next week in the

92
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: wild card game. Now that seems to be more in doubt,

93
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: so we'll probably get a clearer picture as to what

94
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: his availab availability is going to become next week. But

95
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: certainly an unfortunate occurrence here because they would have welcomed

96
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: him back to the equation with open arms. It's funny

97
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: because people, I know there's been some critics out there

98
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: of Greg Russeau's season talking about, ah, you know, he

99
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: had more sacks last year, and you know whatever, And

100
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: he did, and he had more tackles for loss and

101
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: more bat had passes. One of the I would tell

102
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: you one of the reasons why his production is down

103
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: is because opposing offensive lines don't have to worry about

104
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: anyone on the interior, and so they can focus their

105
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: attention on the edges with Bosa and Rousseau because there's

106
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: no Ed Oliver there.

107
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 3: Ed sprinted out of the blocks this season. In those

108
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: first that first month when he was playing, he was

109
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 3: he was on fire, which is you know, why you

110
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: really noticed it when he left and now they it

111
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: took him a while to figure it out and start

112
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: moving guys in. And of course Dion Walker is elevated

113
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: and he's gotten better and better and has played very

114
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: consistently throughout the year. But the guys beside him, Daik

115
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: One's been in and out of the lineup, Jordan Phillips

116
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: now he's in and out of the lineup. You go

117
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: down the list, TJ. Sanders, Dwayne Carter, we still have

118
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: never haven't seen. So you know, it's just been a

119
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: total rotating lottery inside of Rousseau and those guys, and

120
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: Joey Bosa as well, and they just, you know, they

121
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: just buy themselves out there a lot with no guys

122
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 3: they haven't been able to get a feel for. So

123
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: it's been a it's been a real I don't know,

124
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 3: I guess I said it's a surprise how well they've

125
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: been playing defensive these last three.

126
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: Or four weeks.

127
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: A real surprise.

128
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I can't believe the success they had in

129
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: the second half against Philadelphia. Their run game and that

130
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: quarterback and that receiver, those receivers, oh it's more than one.

131
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: And the tight end I was shocked. They're getting it

132
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: from both ends of the passing game defensively, both up

133
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: front and well in the back end.

134
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: And it's largely their three three five nickel package. They're

135
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: putting three linebackers on the field in their nickel and

136
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: they're using their linebackers as their speed rushers. Because their

137
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: speed rushers are on ir Michael Hoyt and Oliver you know,

138
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: they're not available, so they've made do with what they have,

139
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: and I think they've very Babbage and McDermott have very

140
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: keenly deployed their linebackers as pass rushers, chiefly Dorian Williams

141
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: and Matt Milano, and they've been great. They've been downright great,

142
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: and their scheming has been outstanding. They're not only deploying

143
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: linebackers in a different way to augment their pass rush,

144
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: they're doing it in such a way that has quarterbacks

145
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: completely crossed up. Jalen Hurts didn't know what was coming

146
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: at him in the second half. He had no clue

147
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: and looked very much like Drake May did three weeks ago.

148
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: Drake May in the second half, that's as indecisive as

149
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: I have ever seen him since he's been in the NFL.

150
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: He had no idea what he was looking at. Yeah,

151
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: and he was patting the ball.

152
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 3: That's that led to the twenty one point turnaround and

153
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: gave the Bills the ability to get back in it

154
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: because they could hold the Patriots off the board so

155
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: that while the offense got their feet under him.

156
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: So it's encouraging.

157
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: It is encouraging, and so that's why, you know, you'd

158
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: love to see a parachute back in there. But you know,

159
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: they you look at it's at the beginning of the year,

160
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: a lot of people and you and I included, had

161
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: this same gosh, I just hope Bosa can stay healthy

162
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: because that was you know, I don't know. And now

163
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: here we are a week eighteen coming into it. Guy's

164
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: been there every week.

165
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: Can we knock out what right now?

166
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

167
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.

168
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: But still it's it's the unpredictable nature of the Beast.

169
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: I'm just for a unit that has been short on

170
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: manpower the entire season. Once again, Sean McDermott and his

171
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator Bobby Babbage have done more with less. Yeah,

172
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: flat out half. I mean, you're gonna get to the

173
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: end of the season and they're gonna flirt with being

174
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: a top ten defense. That's insane.

175
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a top ten defense. This group.

176
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: When it's all over again, to wonder, gosh, what could

177
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: have happened if they play in a first place schedule,

178
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: if Mike Hoyt and ed stay healthy, with the development

179
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: of Dion Walker and all those guys and day one

180
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: in there that you'd love to have seen what it

181
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: could have happened, How it could have happened, if Max

182
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 3: Harriston could have gotten on the field instead of waiting

183
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: six week. Bishops at your Bishop matured fast, Jordan Poyer

184
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: really helped settle those guys down. And Shaq Thompson, Yeah,

185
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 3: what a find he has been. So it's it's been

186
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 3: when you look back at it, seems like it was fun.

187
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: Although we're sitting over here, we're all pulling our hair

188
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: out over the deal, but it's been fun watching them

189
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 3: figure it out. Yeah, like you know what, all right,

190
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: shack your up because I just.

191
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: Hold the four.

192
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: But progress into a you know, a unit that's making

193
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: plays and getting off the field. It's like they did

194
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: last year, but they're getting the field.

195
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 3: That is what it's gonna They're gonna go to win

196
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl and the offense gonna score ten points

197
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 3: a game, They're gonna win it with defense. After this,

198
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: I don't I right?

199
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: Oh man, how uncomfortable would that be?

200
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: It'd be awesome, but oh my guys, could you imagine

201
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 3: the angst of watching that happen.

202
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: The eighteen hares Like, Oh.

203
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: Bills fans, we'd be beside ourselves.

204
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: Can you imagine after watching this game for the last

205
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: five years and then have them go and win a

206
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: defensive struggle throughout the playoffs all the way the Super

207
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 3: Bowl and win a Super Bowl like nine to six.

208
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll I'll sign up for it if we're winning.

209
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: Oh just oh, I'll sign up for it. I'll take

210
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: the years off my ticker. So if that's what the

211
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: outcome is.

212
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: You can't even enjoy those games.

213
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: As long as it ends the right way, I'll deal

214
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: with it.

215
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: You gotta have yeah with it, barf bag sitting next

216
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: to you the entire month of the playoffs.

217
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

218
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go around the NFL presented by Kalida Health,

219
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 2: the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. Jets, head

220
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: coach Aaron Glenn confirmed that he is again starting Brady

221
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: Cook at quarterback on Sunday against the Bills. He also

222
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: said that tight end Mason Taylor, offensive lineman Xavier Newman

223
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: and Joe Tipman, along with running back Isaiah Davis and

224
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: Breece Hall, along with cornerback Contes Stiggers, will not practice today.

225
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: So we'll see what the ultimate decision is for coach

226
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: McDermott as to whether or not he's gonna sit down

227
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: any frontline players for this game. The Bills, as we know,

228
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: can still improve their playoff seating with a victory and

229
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: some help, so if you want to argue incentive, that's fine.

230
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: I was encouraged to hear coach McDermott say, you know,

231
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's health is our top priority. So I would

232
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: tend to think by the time we get to week's end,

233
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: there's a good chance that Josh comes out for the

234
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: first snap to keep his consecutive games started streak intact,

235
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: and then exits much like he did in Week eighteen

236
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: last year. Although last year there really wasn't anything for

237
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 2: them to gain, if I remember right, because they were

238
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: already division champs, and I don't think there was a

239
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: way they could improve their seating last year so that's right.

240
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: They were locked in at the two two. Yeah, that's right,

241
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: the two or something like that.

242
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: Two or the three. Yeah, so this year they can

243
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 2: improve their seating. I wonder if that changes the conversation.

244
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: I think the most interesting playing time conversation is going

245
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 2: to be about James Cook, who currently has the NFL

246
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: rushing lead, but it is only forty seven yards ahead

247
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: of Jonathan Taylor, So I think, right, that's that's going

248
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: to be a difficult one to navigate because knowing the

249
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: competitor that James is and all the work he's put

250
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: in to have a career best season, well, the finishing

251
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: with the rushing title would be nice, but what would

252
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: be nicer is to know that he's healthy for the playoffs.

253
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: He's a key cock.

254
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 3: Indianapolis will be done with their game when the Bills play.

255
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: That's a good point, so you'll know exactly how much

256
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: he needs.

257
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a plus.

258
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: Although Derek Henry is only one hundred and thirty seven

259
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: yards behind as well, right, but.

260
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: If he does, you know, like, yeah, James goes out and.

261
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: Gets sixty should be enough, you'd.

262
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 3: Think, but never you never know. I guess the Pittsburgh Steelers.

263
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 3: You know, you got to think that's going to be

264
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 3: a tough game in Pittsburgh. I don't know, but yeah,

265
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: it's all this stuff goes into the stew Right, you

266
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: want to give James every opportunity to have that on

267
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: his resume. Who have led the National Football League in

268
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: rushing and listen, sixteen oh six he's got. Now that's

269
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 3: a big season. That is a powerful risk. I mean,

270
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 3: the third best rushing season in Hill's history. Yeah, in

271
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: any room you go into, there can't be more than

272
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: a handful of guys in there who it's possible could

273
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 3: be in that conversation.

274
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: And I think he's only about one hundred and ten

275
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: yards away from two thousand all purpose.

276
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: Yards, right, So you're I mean, you're you're tired. That's

277
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 3: a heck of all sample size right there. That's that's

278
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: elite company. And you know, good for him, but you'd

279
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: like to see him do it. But you know, I mean,

280
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: we all know the risks.

281
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the second straight day, a Patriots player is

282
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: in the police blotder. A day after Stefan Diggs was

283
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: charged with felony strangulation, Teammate defensive tackle Christian Barmore is

284
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: facing a misdemeanor domestic assault charge one count of assault

285
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: and battery on a family member, stemming from an alleged

286
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: August eighth incident in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Charging documents say the

287
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: victim had been in a relationship with Barmore. For the

288
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: second straight day, the Patriots released a statement that read,

289
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots are aware of reports regarding ap

290
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: pending February arraignment involving Christian Barmore, which stems from an

291
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: alleged domestic incident that occurred in August. Patriots were made

292
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: aware at the time of the incident and formed the

293
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: NFL in a timely manner. The matter remains part of

294
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: an ongoing legal process. We will respect that process, continue

295
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: to monitor the situation closely as we have over the

296
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: past few months, and cooperate fully with the league. We

297
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: will have no further comment at this time.

298
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: They didn't see say they like yesterday they said we

299
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: fully support Stefan Diggs. They didn't say we fully see

300
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: somebody Christian. There's like a you know what, we're on it.

301
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: We got it, thanks aware of it. Oh my god.

302
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: We'll take our punishment at the appropriate time. Let me

303
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: ask you this, though, these are two front line players

304
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: for a Patriots team that has not been to the

305
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: playoffs since twenty twenty one? Kind of distraction does this serve?

306
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: Knowing the media will be there in force today asking

307
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: everybody and anybody about both of those incidents.

308
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it I'm trying to envision what would happen if

309
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: something like that. I think what it does mostly is

310
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: it kind of isolates the player away from the team

311
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: a little bit. He's like in the locker room, like, dude,

312
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 3: what are you doing? You know, there's not too many

313
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 3: guys would feel comfortable coming up and confronting them. Certainly

314
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: they had to have a serious conversation with the head

315
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 3: coach and the GM saying, hey, what's going on?

316
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: What are you doing?

317
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the players can't be very happy about this getting

318
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: dumped on their plate. So yeah, it's it's not a

319
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: I hate to say, it's a big deal for the

320
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: vict for the people involved, no question about it. And

321
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 3: that means it includes the players too. This is not

322
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: nothing and it's but it is a thing for these players.

323
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 3: The rest of the team is gonna be distracted by

324
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 3: they for the two guys. Now they got to think, Okay, now,

325
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 3: all right, we're gonna overcome this. Guys, you're gonna tell yourself, right,

326
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: We're gonna be fine. We're gonna be all right. Well

327
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 3: you're not. You're you got to say, I have all

328
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 3: those conversations before you get me start thinking about the

329
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 3: game again. Yeah, it's a it's a distraction, There's no

330
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: question about it. They they'll probably be able to handle

331
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 3: it because when push comes to show it, Steph Christian,

332
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 3: is your deal take care of it. Well, I don't

333
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: want to think. We don't want to think about it.

334
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's an uncomfortable couple of days they got

335
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 3: coming up.

336
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 2: Packers head coach Matt Lafleur told reporters today that quarterback

337
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 2: Jordan Love will practice today, though he remains in the

338
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: league's concussion protocol. Lafleur also confirmed that the Packers plan

339
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: on resting some of their starters in Week eighteen against

340
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 2: the Vikings. Green Bay is locked into the number seven

341
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: seed in the NFC playoffs and cannot prove that seting.

342
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: Love would seem to be a prime candidate to get

343
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: the week off, even if he clears concussion protocol in

344
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: time this week. Meanwhile, Love's backup Malik Willis, will be

345
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 2: limited in practice today with a throwing shoulder injury. The

346
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 2: Packers have signed free Asian quarterback Desmond Ridder for depth

347
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: at the position, and depending on how Willis recovers this week,

348
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: he may have to play. He just got there yesterday.

349
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: Desmond Ridder may have to play in the game.

350
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 3: Well, they can improve from the number seven. Malik Willis

351
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: certainly can hand the ball off, no, but it's.

352
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: His throwing shoulder that's a little nicked here, So we'll

353
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: see where that goes over the course of the week.

354
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed that rookie quarterback Riley

355
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: Leonard will get the start on Sunday against the Houston Texans.

356
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 2: So the return of Philip Rivers has apparently come to

357
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 2: an end. The Cult are no longer in playoff contention.

358
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers GM John Lynch told reporters running back

359
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey is trending towards playing in Week eight teen

360
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: against the Seahawks. The forty nine Ers had a walk

361
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: through Tuesday and McCaffrey was listed as out with a

362
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 2: back injury. Forty nine Ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told

363
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: reporters the twenty nine year old running back is a

364
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 2: little stiff. Trainers tended to McCaffrey's back in the fourth

365
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: quarter of the win over the Bears last week. McCaffrey

366
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: did return to finish the game. They're in a huge

367
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: matchup there for the NFC West title and a first

368
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: round by Yeah.

369
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 3: That's that's the That's the game of the weekend, right,

Speaker 3: football teams going for all the marbles now they're both

00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, but.

373
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: Bye week would be welcome.

374
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's huge for the one seed. Oh, John, you're

375
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: playing hard for that. If you're the Niner Seahawks, you're

376
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: really going after it on Saturday. That's Saturday night at eight,

377
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: let's go. That's big. So I'm yeah, that's as we

378
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: see a lot McCaffrey. He's been injured over the course

379
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 3: of his career. The I can't I can't help but

380
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: get over the Colts thing. We just spoke about to

381
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 3: the Riley Leonard coming in and he's gonna play instead

382
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: of Philip Rivers the Colts. We gotta remember this because

383
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 3: it's always a conversation every team has you get off

384
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 3: of this lightning fast start the trade deadline approach and say, hey,

385
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: and these teams, you push your chips to the middle.

386
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,119

Speaker 3: Let's trade this guy and get that. Let's do this

388
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: and and let's let's pour it into this season. And

389
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 3: at I mean the next week, the Colts started to falter.

00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 3: get over that.

397
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: That's Sauce Gardner went one in seven between the Jets

398
00:20:59,320 --> 00:20:59,879

Speaker 3: one and seven with the Jets, one and seven with

401
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,920

Speaker 2: biggest high Mark Stadium memories and the time that he

00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 2: played here both as a bill and as an opponent.

413
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: I distinctly remember a Jets game at the end of

414
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: the season when he and Chan Gaily were with the

415
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: Jets and Jets needed a win to get in and

416
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: end their playoff drought in twenty fifteen, and it did

417
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: not happen.

418
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: Whom So, well, there you go.

419
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: I probably won't bring that up, but I will. That

420
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: would be a little ll do it down. He's nice

421
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 2: enough to come on, I'm doing it bag on him.

422
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna.

423
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: But let's get to the phones at eight oh three

424
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: oh five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty

425
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: two five fifty that's the number to get on board,

426
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: and we lead off with Michael and Orchard Park. What's up, Michael, Hi.

427
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 7: Boys, how are you doing It's great, Okay, I got

428
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 7: a couple of things to say. Uh. Number one, I'm

429
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 7: just gonna bring this up. I believe there's only one

430
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 7: team in the AFC that's gonna beat the Bills in

431
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 7: the playoffs, and that's gonna be the Baltimore Ravens, and

432
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 7: I don't think they're gonna make it.

433
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 6: Number two, I think the Buffalo Bills are gonna end

434
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 6: up playing the Houston Texans in the AFC Championship game

435
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 6: in Houston. Number three, my three favorite times remembering the

436
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 6: Buffalo you know, the games in rich Stadium. One would

437
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 6: be seventy five Monday Night football against the Oakland Raiders.

438
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 6: I think I've talked to you this before, so I'm

439
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 6: not going to really bring up why. But uh we

440
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 6: even we beat him with a minute and thirty seconds

441
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 6: left in the game and it was the shots two touchdowns. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

442
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 6: I talked to you about just before. I know I did,

443
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 6: But I'm not going to bring up the whole thing.

444
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 6: The other thing is is nineteen eighty when the Bills

445
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 6: beat the Miami Dolphins for the first time. I would

446
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 6: actually they actually took a picture and I have a

447
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 6: I have a football card with my picture on it

448
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 6: from there. Nice number yeah number three. Uh, Steve, you

449
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 6: remember this during the ASC Championship game when when you

450
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 6: guys beat the living you know what out of the

451
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 6: Raiders and on the on the right hand side or

452
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 6: on the side of the visitors. I think you probably

453
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 6: remember where we had a biggie uh defensive where we

454
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 6: had a big white fence and we held it up.

455
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 6: I was in that picture as well. And then the

456
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 6: last thing I'll say is my favorite game of all

457
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 6: time in Buffalo was the game against the Indianapolis Colts

458
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 6: with that snowstorm. I absolutely loved it. Yeah, the novel,

459
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 6: it was absolutely.

460
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 2: Phenomenal, the snow game in twenty seventeen. It went to overtime.

461
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 6: And then of course then of course O. J. Simpson,

462
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 6: the greatest running back of all time, and we used

463
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 6: to go to the games. I went to a hundreds

464
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 6: of Okay, and it used to be Oh J. Wright,

465
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 6: OJ left OJ up the middle. That was that was

466
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 6: the saying. And the thing about OJ that a lot

467
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 6: of people don't know, and you can look into this

468
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 6: if you want, but my dad knew ODA is he

469
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 6: had a he had dissocated hips and when he was

470
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 6: when he was able to make those those cuts on

471
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 6: the full speeds to get into the open field. His

472
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 6: his lower body would move different than his upper body.

473
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 6: And if you watch it, you'll see it. Go Builds,

474
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 6: Go Bills. I really believe it's going to be the

475
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 6: Bills in Houston in the US as title game.

476
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Mike, I appreciate it.

477
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.

478
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to, if you want to see

479
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 2: more on the Snow Game, I did a Games to

480
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 2: Remember episode. You can find it on the Bills YouTube

481
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: channel with Eric Wood, who kind of gave some inside,

482
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 2: behind the scenes look at what went on on that

483
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 2: game day. There was a big decision at the end

484
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,120
Speaker 2: of that game as to whether or not to punt.

485
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 8: Or to go for it.

486
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: Because the Bills were in the proverbial hunt still in

487
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 2: the playoffs, they had to win that game to stay

488
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 2: mathematically alive for a playoff. Berth and Eric Wood had

489
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: a very spirited conversation with Sean McDermott on the sideline

490
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 2: about punting or not punting. So I would encourage you

491
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: to watch that episode of Games to Remember with Eric

492
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: Wood on the Snow Game that you can find on

493
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: the Bills YouTube channel. There's some great insight.

494
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 3: There a lot of fans, the fans here in Buffalo,

495
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 3: you're still living the consequences, good or bad, from that game,

496
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 3: that twenty seventeen snow game. Because it was so compelling

497
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 3: for the entire country to watch. They switched the entire

498
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: country after the games that they switched it over because

499
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 3: it was overtime, the entire country tuned into that game.

500
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: And because of.

501
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 3: How spectacular and let's all, it was a work of art.

502
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 3: The Colts in all white with blue stripes and the

503
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 3: Bills in all red with the you could just the

504
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 3: visual art that that game turned into was absolutely elite.

505
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 3: People around the country could not take their eyes off

506
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 3: that game.

507
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: And for that.

508
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: Reason, Bills fans are still living because you're getting these

509
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: We got two late season, we got last week, and

510
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 3: we got this week, and the TV people are begging

511
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 3: it to snow, just like that, just like the forty

512
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 3: nine Ers game. All they all want it to happen again.

513
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: And I'll just tell you right now, remember it fondly

514
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: because it's never going to happen in the new stadium.

515
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: There will never be measurable snowfall on the field ever again.

516
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: Because there is a heated coil system under the grass field,

517
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: it will melt snow. They will never have measurable snowfall

518
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 2: on the playing field again. In Buffalo ever.

519
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 3: It's it. It was something. It was absolute amazing that game.

520
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: And remember who was the last guy played quarterback for

521
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 3: us in that game, Joe Webb.

522
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: Joe Webb throws it down Deontay tom Deontay Thompson, who

523
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: I don't even remember he ever met another catch in

524
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: his life.

525
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 3: He made that one and the Bills win it uh

526
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 3: in overtime. Absolutely phenomenal game to watch. There was no

527
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 3: I mean, there's just no substitute for it. The fans

528
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 3: were there, they were all. You got all the all

529
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: you fans. I've seen him. You've all got pictures of

530
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: yourselves with snow accumulating on you. Forget about the field.

531
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, my son was at that game with his with

532
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: my brother in law, and they took they had a

533
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: guy take a photo of them and they had measurable

534
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: snowfall on their shoulders and on the top of their

535
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: head because it was snowing two to three inches an hour.

536
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: It was, well, we've all seen it here in Buffalo.

537
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: It happened sometimes, but man, oh man, you never never

538
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: think it does. And of course Leshan McCoy wins it

539
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: in overtime with the touchdown run. Best snow runner, he's

540
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 3: a great snow He was money Lashawn mc cour and

541
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: I'll never forget they traded.

542
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: They traded who was it? Keko Alonso for Shawn McCoy.

543
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: I don't know how the Eagles rebounded from that because

544
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: they got better at trading, but that was an absolute

545
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: When when I heard they traded for Lashawn McCoy, I go,

546
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Because I

547
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: had done Monday night games for Westwood One Night Star

548
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: on the sidelines for Washington Redskins Philly games and Philly

549
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 3: and Dallas game and I've watched, I had watched on

550
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 3: the sidelines Lashawn McCoy play, and I thought he was

551
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: the dude. And to have the Bills get him, I

552
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 3: thought was an absolute masterpiece and turned out I was.

553
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: I was right. I mean, the guy could really play.

554
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: Team led the league in rushing his first year in.

555
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: Buffalo, really plays.

556
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: Was He's better than Husky's in the I did rot

557
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 2: That's how he is in the.

558
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: St Yeah, some of them, and for me, some of

559
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: the moments I have obviously because I was played a

560
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 3: ton of away games too, you know, so some of

561
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: the memories I have were away games. But in recent member,

562
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 3: I was just having this conversation outside, I think, and

563
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna tall. I don't want to say it

564
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: because it didn't happen in the stadium, But the best

565
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: moment maybe in the franchise's history, above all the moments ever,

566
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 3: that we have yet to experience together, was the moment

567
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 3: they broke the drought, which wasn't in the stadium, which

568
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 3: wasn't in the stadium, but it was two thousand and

569
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: seventeen in Miami, in Miami, they win that game, and

570
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 3: then all Bills fans everywhere the team and because of

571
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 3: social media changed everything and because of the history of

572
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 3: the team. Is how good the team had been early

573
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: and then they.

574
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: Could today the eight year anniversary of that, and here

575
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: it is New Year's is that right?

576
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 3: So here it is and I'll never I will absolutely

577
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 3: never forget that moment when the Bills got back into

578
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: the playoffs after a seventeen year drought.

579
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: I remember coming home on the plane with the team

580
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: one am. We get to the airport. It's two degrees. Yeah,

581
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: we get off the plane. Thousand people. It was amazing.

582
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: There was easily three thousand people there at the airport

583
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: to me here and the team coming off the plane

584
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 2: at one thirty in the morning.

585
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 3: And and you knew we had the right guy in

586
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: McDermott because at as that game, as that season started,

587
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 3: they made the trade with the two corners, and you know,

588
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 3: and they got rid of them guy, and the think, okay,

589
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: everybody sad, all right, we've seen this, but where they're

590
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: going to tank, you know stuff. And with a tank

591
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 3: a roster that everybody thought they were going to tank with,

592
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: they got to the playoffs and ended a seventeen year drought.

593
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: I will absolutely never forget it. It was it was

594
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 3: just I think that was the moment of all of them.

595
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: And he got I mean, Kyle Waves is crying, crying

596
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 3: into the shoulders of his own two kids. Richie Incognitos

597
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: on the team. Oh my gosh, it was unreal, unbelievable,

598
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 3: It was unbelieved. So that's that's the moment for me.

599
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 3: But you know, you can take your pick and Taron Johnson,

600
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, seventy seven seconds, fifty one to three,

601
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: all of them, they're all fantastic.

602
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: Let's go to Bill in Connecticut here. What's up Bill?

603
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 4: Hey guys, thanks for having me on.

604
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: Sure.

605
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 4: I wanted to talk about two or three things quickly.

606
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 4: I know you're gonna have Dustin Knox on soon, Thank

607
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 4: to you. I wanted to comment on the Kevin Burkhardt

608
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 4: and his partner Paul in the game nationally? Can I

609
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 4: do that?

610
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 2: Sure? Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhart last week?

611
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 4: Yes, Kevin and his partner. So, his partner remarked on

612
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 4: the generosity of Phil's mafia in terms of generously showing

613
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 4: him the one finger salute, and so I had a

614
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 4: suggestion for the next time, because I didn't think he

615
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 4: needed to say that on the national broadcast. But I

616
00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 4: have a suggestion for giveaways at the new Stadium the

617
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 4: next time they're back get and it would be the

618
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 4: the TB twelve pregame gift set that includes an inflating

619
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 4: needle and a tire pressure gage like it. What do

620
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 4: you think?

621
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 5: Yeah?

622
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 4: Could work. I have a request for those of us

623
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 4: who can only listen on the radio. You know, we

624
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 4: get to see snippets of when you have guests on

625
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 4: on the on the Bills app right. I was wondering

626
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 4: if you could take a snippet from Steve's discussion of

627
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 4: fumble versus incomplete path on Monday and put that out there.

628
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I'm getting a lot of listen. I got

629
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: a lot of flak for doing that. I yeah, yes.

630
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 4: Well it'd be fun to see it because it was.

631
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 2: We'll try to see if there's a way to post

632
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: that on our Twitter social channel at one Bills Live, because.

633
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 3: I don't do that very often. In fact, that may

634
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 3: be the only time. But yeah, yeah, I don't know what.

635
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: A little short handed on this holiday week, so I

636
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: want to overtax.

637
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: I he caught me off guard.

638
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 3: I'm usually better than that, and I kind of lost it,

639
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: so I apologize. I think it was Mark from Tanawana,

640
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 3: so he can't call in again. I won't do that.

641
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: At some of the memories and my Mark. People are

642
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 2: still bitter about Tom Brady, even though he sits in

643
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: a broadcast chair. Now, I will say this, the one

644
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 2: thing this stadium has is two games in which Tom

645
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 2: Brady threw four interceptions. He did it in the two

646
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 2: thousand and three opener, against the Bills that the Bills

647
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 2: won thirty one nothing, which remains one of my best game,

648
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 2: my favorite games in that building. And the twenty eleven

649
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: game when the Bills came back and won what was

650
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: that thirty four to thirty one on a last second

651
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: field goal by Ryan Lindell. Brady threw four picks in

652
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: that game, So this stadium has one of those distinctions.

653
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 2: Two four interception games from Tom Brady in his career,

654
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 2: and I think he only had four or five in

655
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 2: his entire career. Four interception games. Two of them were here.

656
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: We got to take a break here because when we

657
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 2: come back, we'll have one Dawson Knox joining us in studio.

658
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: We'll get some thoughts from him on some favorite games

659
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: in this building when we return here. On One Bill's Live,

Speaker 2: everybody's doing well.

670
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 9: Right, everybody's doing well. It's been the biggest blessing of

671
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 9: my life.

672
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 2: It's there, you go, It's the year of the baby

673
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: for the Bills. Like, what is going on one Bill?

674
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 2: It's crazy, like because Terrel Bernard was off season, right,

675
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: k Taylor Rapp and I think Mitch Trubisky just announced

676
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: they're having their second.

677
00:35:55,520 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 9: Yep, so obviously Josh yes, and Josh that's right, Joe Brady.

678
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 2: Joe Brady number two.

679
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Wow, there you go.

680
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 9: Lots of babies.

681
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 2: Heck of an offseason. Nice Week eighteen. It's a little

682
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 2: weird sometimes because you know, it's not quite the same

683
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 2: as I mean it is for preparations sake, but with

684
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: the playoffs on the horizon, there are different decisions that

685
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: have to be made. I'm curious from a player perspective,

686
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: you got to just try to make it as same

687
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: as every other week, even though there might be some

688
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 2: different things at play here.

689
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 5: This week.

690
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think this late in the season,

691
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 9: like you said, we want to do everything we can

692
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 9: to make it a normal week preparation, working out, practice,

693
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 9: because you don't want to throw off your routine heading

694
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 9: into the playoffs, so you want to mentally at least

695
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 9: make it as normal as possible, and then you know,

696
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 9: playing time. It's still kind of TVD at this point.

697
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 9: The only thing that's.

698
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 3: Question mark in this this playoff tournament is Baltimore Pittsburgh

699
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 3: losers out. Baltimore's out or Pittsburgh's out. Other than that,

700
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 3: you kind of know the other six teams. There's certainly

701
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 3: five of the other teams that you're gonna play against,

702
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 3: and you know there's no reason for you guys to

703
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 3: sit there and think gorash. This matchup really give us

704
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 3: an idea of the weight of how important it would

705
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: be nice to go into that wildcard rounds just feeling

706
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 3: great and healthy, or maybe be in the five seed

707
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 3: instead of the sixth seed, and the way the differences

708
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 3: between then and how those conversations go.

709
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, obviously we always want to win. We're

710
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 9: going to play every game to win, but at the

711
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 9: same point, this far in the season, especially in the playoffs,

712
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 9: the fresher teams are gonna win. So if you got

713
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 9: a guy that's banged up, if you can get him

714
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 9: a little rest or if you have a guy that's

715
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 9: played one hundred percent of offensive snaps, if you can

716
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 9: get him almost mocked by week, things like that are huge.

717
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 9: So we still don't know like who's going to be playing,

718
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 9: who's not going to be playing, But to have the

719
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 9: seeding already pretty much set, to know that we've already

720
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 9: clinched the playoffs, it will be nice to find ways

721
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 9: to get a little bit of rest here and there

722
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 9: kind of take a load off of you.

723
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 2: We're kind of feeling it here on the show with

724
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 2: the response we've gotten from fans. But you know, the

725
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 2: nostalgia is already building for what will be the last game,

726
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: presumably the last game in the High Marks Stadium. I

727
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 2: suppose that there are some upsets in the playoffs. There

728
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: might be a wonky way we can have a playoff

729
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: game here, but certainly the last regular season game here.

730
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 2: I know this is only your seventh season. Seventh, that's right,

731
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 2: So you know your years are far fewer in number

732
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 2: than his and mine in this building. But you've been

733
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: around long enough for some pretty special ones. What games

734
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 2: flash into your mind or might flash into your mind

735
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 2: when you're walking down that tunnel on Sunday.

736
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 9: Man, there's it's hard to count, but I mean I

737
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 9: think back to my first home game against the Bengals.

738
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 9: Also the first touchdown I scored, so that will always

739
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 9: be an incredible favorable memory for me. But I mean

740
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 9: I think about that New England playoff game where we

741
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 9: had the perfect game, scored a touch.

742
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 2: Around every drive, you had two of the two touchdowns.

743
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 9: That's right, and it's really the big playoff wins I

744
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 9: think stick with me the most. I mean Baltimore, but yeah,

745
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 9: the pick six. But there's so many little things that

746
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 9: will always stick in my mind. Running out of that tunnel,

747
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 9: hearing the roar of the crowd, I mean it's I know,

748
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 9: I've only been here seven years, but it's extremely nostalgic

749
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 9: for me too.

750
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: And this touchdown in the Patriots in the perfect playoff game,

751
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 2: Josh admitted after the game, he's just throwing it away.

752
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, he went to me on the sideline. He's like,

753
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 9: I had no idea what happened. I've just heard the

754
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 9: crowd go crazy and.

755
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 3: He said he was throwing it away through it and

756
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 3: then he takes a lick and I think they might

757
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 3: have even thrown a penalty on. I'm not sure because

758
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 3: he threw it and ball was away and they took

759
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: it and then they hit him and said it was

760
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 3: It was weird because he after this play, you got

761
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 3: you you were celebrating the ends on Josh walked off.

762
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he thought it was incomplete, right, he didn't

763
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 3: realize you had scored. Yeah.

764
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 8: So I went up to him.

765
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 9: I was like, hey man, thanks for throwing it up

766
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 9: giving me a chance to make a play. And he

767
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 9: was like, what are you talking about. I was throwing

768
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 9: it away. I was like, okay, I mean whatever, but

769
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 9: that was banana. That'll always be one of my favorite

770
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 9: plays ever.

771
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was And it was typical of him, you know.

772
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 9: You know, it's just the guy's so good he accidentally

773
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 9: throws that good all.

774
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 3: That's really the thing about it too. With with Josh,

775
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 3: you guys score a lot with him, he do.

776
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: He scored a lot.

777
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that just he's an efficient guy.

778
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 3: Stays on. One of the things that happened in the

779
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 3: Philly game this last week and give credit to their front.

780
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 3: One of the things that happened in that first half

781
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 3: was Josh didn't extend. There's about three or four plays

782
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: he was going to extend and he couldn't because they

783
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 3: got a grip on him that he couldn't break their

784
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 3: grip like he usually does. And I think that was

785
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 3: a difference in that first half. You know, he held

786
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 3: you to shut it you had, and of course he

787
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: took a big sack out of field goal range and

788
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 3: then fumbled the one which was an incomplete pass.

789
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: Don't get Steve started on that one.

790
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there's a conversation about that, right, yeah.

791
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 9: I mean from what we could tell, his arm was

792
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 9: going forward and you could see the way he reacted

793
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 9: on the field too. He was saying, why wouldn't why

794
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 9: would he stop the play if he knew it was

795
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 9: a fun.

796
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 3: If he thought it was a fumble, he would have

797
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: chased it.

798
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: Correct, I know. And you mentioned the Baltimore playoff game.

799
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 2: We remember the first home playoff game during the COVID

800
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 2: year against Indy, which comes down to a Micah Hyde

801
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 2: knockdown at the end of that game. But a game

802
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 2: that a lot of people have brought up from the

803
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 2: recent past is the two kick return Nahim Hines game.

804
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: Can you can you get back to where that sideline

805
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: was emotionally watching Nahim Hines run the opening kickoff back

806
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 2: for a touchdown and just the emotional wave that swept

807
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 2: over that sideline, Can.

808
00:41:58,640 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 8: You get back there?

809
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: Pretty much?

810
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 9: I mean, I think that whole week, obviously everybody was

811
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 9: in just mentally in shambles, like really emotionally drained, praying

812
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 9: for tomorrow, also trying to prepare for an NFL game,

813
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 9: and we tried to treat it as normally as we could,

814
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 9: but still mentally everybody was checked out in a way,

815
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 9: you know, because we're worried about our teammate, We're thinking

816
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 9: about you know, the dangerous nature of the game. So

817
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 9: it was hard getting ready for that. But then to

818
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 9: see the opening kickoff turned for a touchdown and then

819
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 9: another one later in the game by Nahim, it was

820
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 9: just so it was a spiritual experience.

821
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: Like the scene there there were tears in a lot.

822
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 3: Of people's eyes seemed supernatural.

823
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, And that's.

824
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 3: I think that to say this, It's not the first

825
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 3: time I've seen supernatural stuff happen in that building. No

826
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 3: doubt it's it was. It was a moment that that

827
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 3: transcended the game, right, Yeah, so you're right, that's that's

828
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 3: one of the ones that you have to go to

829
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: and think, Man, that is That's part of why that

830
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 3: building special is that, I mean it felt like a movie,

831
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 3: you know, and it felt ridiculous.

832
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, like I just found like I mean, I just

833
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 9: I found myself just thanking the lord like this is

834
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 9: such an awesome.

835
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: And then he went and did it again in the

836
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: third quarter.

837
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 9: Yeah.

838
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you guys may not win that game if

839
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 2: he doesn't take more you don't.

840
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 3: Score enough points to win that game without him, and

841
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 3: that that that kind of is also a signal. It's

842
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 3: in that moment with with DeMar and with all of

843
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 3: that stuff. It's it's hard to wrap your mind around

844
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 3: what it meant and where the rest of you were.

845
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 3: Some guys on that roster, like Nahim, he it was

846
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 3: like invigorating. He was like, I'm gonna do this for

847
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 3: the whole thing. Other guys are like, man, I just

848
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 3: almost feel guilty being out here.

849
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: You know, you get the whole spe.

850
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 3: You know, in the ross as big as you get

851
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 3: guys on the whole spectrum. How do you handle that,

852
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 3: you know, those conversations.

853
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think you have to respect where

854
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 9: each individual is at, because naturally there's gonna be guys

855
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 9: that are closer to DeMar and especially guys on defense.

856
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 9: So you have to try to understand as much as

857
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 9: you can where people are coming from, whether you're amped up,

858
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 9: ready to go perform a Yeah, you just got to

859
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 9: meet them where they're at, encourage them, do what you can,

860
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 9: and try to bring everyone along with you.

861
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 2: It is time now for this week's tim Bits time Out,

862
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 2: presented by of course Tim Horton's where we have the

863
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: fans ask Bill's players you need question. This one comes

864
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 2: from Harold, who asks how difficult was it to come

865
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 2: up with a name for your first born child? So

866
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: the process for everybody, as we know, but.

867
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 8: Oh absolutely So.

868
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 9: I knew that I like the name Noah for a

869
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 9: girl for a while, and I thought the spelling in

870
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 9: Oa was pretty unique. But as most people do, we

871
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 9: had a long list.

872
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 8: It was.

873
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 9: It was a lot a lot of long nights talking

874
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 9: about names, pros and cons, and there were names that

875
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 9: she liked and I was like, man, that reminds me

876
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 9: of someone that I'm not a huge fan of and

877
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 9: and vice versa. I was like, you know, I love

878
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 9: this name, and she was like, I just I can't

879
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 9: hear that name without thinking about someone else.

880
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 2: You have a certain number of vetos.

881
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I had picked my battles wisely and very

882
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 9: I'm very thankful. She also loved the name of Yeah.

883
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 3: Let me let me just say this, We've got a

922
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 2: career with the Bills, what are the top three plays

923
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 2: drawn up by Marv Levy, most copied, most creative, most successful, etc.

924
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: I'll say that Marv did a lot of stuff.

925
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 3: He did not call plays except when we got into

926
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 3: short yardage, goalline. That was he took that off the

927
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 3: play to Teddy Marschhibroda and he took that. He did

928
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 3: the formations, the personnel, he did all of that and

929
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 3: put it down and he would call those plays in

930
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 3: those situational football. That's one of the things he did

931
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 3: as a coach. Marv had his hand and in everything.

932
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 3: He taught me how to block a punt on a

933
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 3: Wednesday after I got here on a Saturday, and the

934
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 3: next game I blocked a punt and I was his

935
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 3: guy from then on. But he taught me how many

936
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 3: steps where I was supposed to aim, how to do

937
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: it when I got there, and you know, everything, and

938
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,439
Speaker 3: it worked. So Marv was He was a detailed, oriented guy.

939
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 3: But that's something that's not known. In that K gun

940
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 3: no huddle thing, everybody's going real fast. But when we

941
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 3: got into down short yardage, we had to have a

942
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 3: first down. Marv called those plays and designed them start

943
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 3: to finish. So that's one of the things you might

944
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 3: not know about that old team that ran the no

945
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 3: huddle k gun when they got down close to the

946
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 3: goal line. Marv Levy, it was his game plan, his play,

947
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 3: his design.

948
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 2: And he was a special teams coach before he was

949
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 2: a special team he was one of the first yep.

980
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 10: a lot of like seeing a lot of stories, you know, yeah,

981
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 10: that the Bills have been doing and all the little ESPN

982
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 10: deal with that we do with Chris Berman. So yeah,

983
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 10: but I probably won't not until I'm you know, getting

984
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 10: in that car Sunday to drive over here and.

985
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 8: See it.

986
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 2: What do you what do you think you'll be thinking about?

987
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 2: Will you be thinking about old games? Will you be

988
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 2: thinking about teammates? Will you be thinking about watching games

989
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 2: here with your family?

990
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 5: Not?

991
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 2: Since you do that now, you know, like what do

992
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 2: you be rolling through your head?

993
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 11: Yeah?

994
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 5: You know it.

995
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 10: I think it starts at the beginning, like when I

996
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 10: got here and all of a sudden, I had kids.

997
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 10: You turn around, they're in the stadium now there, you know,

998
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 10: So it starts from the beginning for me, and just

999
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 10: you know, drive through all of first game of Minnesota

1000
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 10: s calling my first NFL touchdown on the opening drive,

1001
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 10: I mean, and then you know, watching Bruise go to

1002
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 10: work and you know Gym. I mean, it was just

1003
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 10: just a combination of so many things, like you know,

1004
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 10: obviously through out of the four AFC Championship games, we're

1005
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 10: here right uh, you know, to comeback. You know, even

1006
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 10: though the comeback is like what's part of us? I

1007
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 10: still think the most impressive thing that we've ever did.

1008
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 10: And the comeback was great, But scoring twenty one points

1009
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 10: in seventy seven seconds against the Broncos, that was.

1010
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,919
Speaker 12: Like, yeah, I mean, it was a continuous momentum.

1011
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 3: Changer in crowded that was ninety That was the first

1012
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 3: the first Super Bowl. That was it was a week

1013
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 3: before this first Sunday night game here against the Raiders,

1014
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 3: which was yeah, come back it was and I was

1015
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 3: Dawson Knox was in here when we were talking about

1016
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 3: the naheem Heinz kick return when and there's been a

1017
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 3: number of things that happened that seemed like supernatural in

1018
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 3: that game, you know what I mean, That something else

1019
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 3: was there, the ghosts. Yeah, certainly the seventy seven second

1020
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 3: thing that was an emotional wave that was just unstoppable.

1021
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 3: It felt like something else took over the whole game.

1022
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1023
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 10: And and when you go back and you think about it,

1024
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 10: you know, Marv being the special team guy, he said,

1025
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 10: more than anything, a special team play for a touchdown

1026
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 10: will turn the momentum quicker than offensive interception touchdown.

1027
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 8: So touchdown.

1028
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 3: Nat Otams comes off, blocks it and Cornee's Bennett waits

1029
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 3: for it to come down, catches it, and then you know,

1030
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 3: six six, four to two third whatever he's got. He

1031
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 3: outruns everybody like yeah, they and they're stumbling trying to

1032
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 3: keep up, and he's gone.

1033
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: We kick off.

1034
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 3: And l Way gets the past tipped into Lynn seals

1035
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 3: tips it Leonard Smith touchdown, thirty nine yard interception and

1036
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 3: then the next play they screw up. We tackle him

1037
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 3: inside the five on the kickoff and they bobble the snap.

1038
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 3: Corneis covers that and next day Kenny Davis, Kenny Davis,

1039
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 3: Waltz is in. It was an unbelievable moment. I know

1040
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 3: a lot of people of gets forgotten in so many moments,

1041
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 3: but it was I think that was when the bill.

1042
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 3: That was one of the times in that nineteen ninety

1043
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 3: season when we went to the first Super Bowl where

1044
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 3: we went the team went from being a also ran

1045
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 3: into a contender and an iconic franchise, you know what

1046
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 3: I mean, one of those that people think about.

1047
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm I'm getting kind of choked

1048
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 10: up now just even thinking about it.

1049
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 8: You know, you know, this is the first time this

1050
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 8: has ever happened. I mean, my high school and my

1051
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 8: junior high school.

1052
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,280
Speaker 12: You know, the stadium that we play still up, still

1053
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 12: up and going, and now one even Oklahoma State, you know,

1054
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 12: so yeah, and this one just so many memories, even

1055
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 12: when you know, I can tear and Kim and their

1056
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 12: family walking out the first game after the dog running around.

1057
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 10: The right dog running around lost r my dog, right,

1058
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 10: I'm like wow, Yeah, I'm like, wow, look at this.

1059
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 10: We got a dog running out here and nobody can

1060
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 10: do anything about it but clean up.

1061
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 2: All right, So in an effort to save your emotions,

1062
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 2: I'll change the subject. As we know, James Cook has

1063
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 2: a chance at the rushing title, but he's only forty

1064
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 2: seven yards yea clear ahead of Jonathan Taylor, and Jonathan

1065
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 2: Taylor's going to be playing with a rookie quarterback on

1066
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 2: Sunday because Riley Leonard is starting for the Colts in

1067
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 2: a meaningless game for them. And Dereck Henry has snuck

1068
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 2: back into the race after going for over two hundred

1069
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 2: at Green Bay last week. He's only one hundred and

1070
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 2: thirty seven yards behind. How Thuram, you're the head coach

1071
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 2: of the Bills this week, health is really important. You

1072
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 2: had a head coach that rested guys and didn't care

1073
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 2: about what anybody was going for because health was the

1074
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 2: priority for the playoffs. How do you handle this this week?

1075
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 2: With James Cook on the cusp of a rushing title,

1076
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 2: which you told us last week is really hard to get.

1077
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 8: It's really hard to get.

1078
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 10: And I'll still say that, but I think if you

1079
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,439
Speaker 10: look at Sean McDermott in the years that he've been there,

1080
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 10: you know things like this are important to him and

1081
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 10: important to these players, like I mean, just take for instance,

1082
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 10: like Josh you're supposed for his consecutive starts, right right.

1083
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 10: I mean I've seen what last year he went in

1084
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 10: for one player against the New England. I think he

1085
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 10: was and came back out. So these things are important,

1086
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 10: but I mean this is I mean, this is huge.

1087
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 10: I mean I would love for him to get this

1088
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 10: rushing title. And I know, you know people were saying

1089
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 10: things early in the year about wearing him out or whatever.

1090
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 10: I mean, guy hasn't missed a beat. He hasn't missed

1091
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 10: a beat. He's been He's yeah, he's been, but he's been.

1092
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 10: He's been protected like like we haven't seen like all

1093
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 10: year long, and what we talked about, we haven't seen

1094
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 10: him take a shot.

1095
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 8: He hasn't taken a shot all year long.

1096
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 10: He's been able to dish out and carry the ball

1097
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 10: and get more touches. So I'd be, hey, look, if

1098
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 10: it's there for the taking, go get it.

1099
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 2: Well. I think the hope is he has a big

1100
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 2: first quarter.

1101
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 8: Which is capable of that.

1102
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 10: Yeah, which is capable of I think we've seen that

1103
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 10: in the last couple of years. Yeah, So hey, look,

1104
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 10: you don't kind of want to be sitting over there

1105
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 10: because you've got to be You're gonna have to be

1106
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 10: playing the following week anyway, So you still want to

1107
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 10: get in there, and you know, may stay sharp and

1108
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 10: do some of the players that you're strong at, which

1109
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 10: is running inside the tackles. That's been one of his

1110
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 10: favorite spots to run the football. And you keep doing that,

1111
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 10: You keep doing that, and you hope the game goes

1112
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 10: your way of however it may be. So yeah, but

1113
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 10: I absolutely.

1114
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 8: Will love for my friend James to get this rushing tea.

1115
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, wouldn't we all that? I gotta ask you this.

1116
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,439
Speaker 3: So the Bills come out say they're the six seed,

1117
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 3: which is the most likely, although you know it could

1118
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 3: be the seven, could be the five three road games

1119
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 3: to get to the super Bowl. It's a big ask.

1120
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 3: I made the point earlier to Brownie that some of

1121
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 3: these teams Jacksonville, like Houston, they're on this.

1122
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 2: Real seven game street Jacksonville eight game winning streak for

1123
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 2: Houston right now. How hard is it to sustain a

1124
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 2: winning streak and play your best. They have to heading

1125
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 2: into the playoffs now.

1126
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 3: Win twelve eleven or twelve twelve games.

1127
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was like, you know, they just lost

1128
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: last week, hurt.

1129
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, it might be a Blessing.

1130
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, but I think you know, if you look at

1131
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 10: those teams, obviously number one, they're younger.

1132
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 8: They're younger than the Bill's squad.

1133
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 5: They're younger.

1134
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 8: So I mean they're a good point.

1135
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, so they're kind of looking at like you, we're

1136
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 10: kind of like, you know, hold up, we don't want

1137
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 10: none of our guys to get hurt.

1138
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 8: They're probably going, man, this is this is great. We

1139
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 8: ain't never been in this system.

1140
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: Give me more, give me.

1141
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 8: More, right exactly, Let's keep this train going.

1142
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 10: And so it's yeah, other teams might see it differently,

1143
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 10: even I think no matter what team we end up playing,

1144
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 10: Jacksonville or.

1145
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 3: Baltimore, Baltimore, Jacksonville or New England.

1146
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 10: New England, right, you know, we're gonna be on the road, right,

1147
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 10: And hey, you know, I mean Josh is kind of

1148
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 10: the oldest guy out of this entire group of quarterbacks

1149
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 10: that we have coming into here, right, so ya, it's

1150
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 10: just like he's.

1151
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 8: An elder stationsman.

1152
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 10: And it's like, Okay, well you don't have Patrick Mahomes,

1153
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 10: you don't have Joe Burrows.

1154
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 8: You know, what is this your time to do it?

1155
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 8: And can you do it with what we have? Right now.

1156
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 8: I think you can, but it's gonna take a lot

1157
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 8: of this is stuff going our way in order to us.

1158
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 10: I mean, man, when you think you think about winning

1159
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 10: three games and going to that's a tough act, especially

1160
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 10: on the road.

1161
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 2: Well, I asked him, because you guys did it not

1162
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 2: three games, two games, because the playoff pool was smaller

1163
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 2: back then. Yeah, but in ninety two, you guys had

1164
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 2: to go on the road and win a couple of games.

1165
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 2: You had to win at Pittsburgh and then at Miami

1166
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 2: in the NFC Championship game. What what do you recall

1167
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 2: about the grind that that was doing it on the

1168
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 2: road those Now you were a battle tested playoff team.

1169
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 2: Is so are the Bills right now. But just the

1170
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 2: challenge of that road road just to get to the

1171
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 2: big dance.

1172
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 8: Well, Pittsburgh wasn't bad.

1173
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think the following week guys got energized because

1174
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 10: we were going to play in some hot.

1175
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Wellness right after.

1176
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was right after the comeback.

1177
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 10: Too, after the comeback Pittsburgh, and Frank was still the quarterback?

1178
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 3: Is still a quarterback?

1179
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:24,439
Speaker 8: Was that six.

1180
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 3: Twenty to six? And yeah, yeah, it's different.

1181
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 8: It was different. Yeah, but you know, like I said.

1182
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, the comebacks gave us a momentum.

1183
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 8: It did give us a momentum.

1184
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, and Pittsburgh was kind of an up and coming

1185
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 10: team at that time with Neil O'Donnell. I think it

1186
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 10: was a quarterback, you know, and Bill Kyle was sure there.

1187
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 10: But yeah, I mean it's you're going on the road

1188
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 10: and I need a couple.

1189
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 8: Of those places.

1190
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 10: Like we haven't had much luck in Jacksonville or against

1191
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 10: Jacksonville Row.

1192
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 2: They're owing two Lifetime in the postseason ninety six, Jym's

1193
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 2: last game here yep, he lost thirty to twenty seven.

1194
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 8: Yep.

1195
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:02,919
Speaker 2: And then the into the drought twenty seventeen, lost ten

1196
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 2: to three at Jacksonville. Pity had a nice game.

1197
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean if you look at the positive, Okay,

1198
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 10: we just just go to New England. We just beat

1199
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 10: them a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, you know that

1200
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 10: mindset has one lot.

1201
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 2: Of people feel good about another game, another game.

1202
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 3: I don't know, Well, you split with them this year,

1203
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 3: so it's not like going in there and you've beaten

1204
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 3: them twice and they're like, okay, they ain't gonna you

1205
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 3: know that kind of thing. So it's and They've got

1206
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 3: to have bad feelings about dropping a twenty one point

1207
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 3: lead to the Years the last time in their building.

1208
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 2: So that's what I kind of focus on. They're going

1209
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 2: to be naturally motivated to write what they feel is

1210
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 2: a wrong. You don't have any of that with Jacksonville,

1211
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, you don't have any history

1212
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 2: with Jacksonville, Right, So I almost would rather play a

1213
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 2: team like that. And look, I know they're a hot team.

1214
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 2: They had an impressive fourteen point win at Denver two

1215
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 2: weeks ago. I mean, so I know they're rolling into

1216
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 2: the playoffs uber confident. People are saying this is the

1217
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 2: most confident Trevor Lawrence has played his entire career. I

1218
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 2: get all that, but I don't know. I mean, what

1219
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 2: do you let me let me ask you something different,

1220
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 2: what are you How encouraged were you by the defensive

1221
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 2: performance this past week for the Bills.

1222
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 10: I mean, look, we've kind of talked about it for

1223
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 10: the last six or seven games. By they stunk it

1224
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 10: up in the first half, they let him score seven

1225
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 10: points in the second half.

1226
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 8: It's been like that wave of up and down.

1227
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 2: Like thirteen points total total.

1228
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, And like I said, you know, and you talk

1229
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 8: to a lot.

1230
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 10: Of the Eagles fans, you know, they're coming out for

1231
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 10: Super Bowl, and they were still angry at their football team.

1232
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 10: But the way they performed, and but I mean, hey,

1233
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 10: you got one of the top backs in the league

1234
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 10: and he didn't have a typical big day.

1235
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 8: You know, people have been on Jalen Hurts all year long,

1236
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 8: you know.

1237
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 10: But I think for our defense, for what we have

1238
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 10: that are guys that are healthy right now, did an

1239
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 10: excellent job.

1240
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 11: You know.

1241
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 10: The thing that I got it out over the halftime

1242
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 10: when when the offense got booed going into the locker room,

1243
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 10: I mean that it's like, WHOA, what's going on here?

1244
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 8: You know?

1245
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 2: And so no points through three quarters?

1246
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 10: No points through three quarters? I mean, and then with

1247
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 10: all the top of that, we should have won a

1248
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 10: football game. Yeah, yeah, we should have wonderful. So we've

1249
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 10: been in this situation all year along with these ups

1250
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 10: and downs of you know, the special teams came through

1251
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 10: when we didn't think they would come through with Ray Davis,

1252
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 10: you know. So you know, hey, look, I take my

1253
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 10: head off to my group, the running back state you

1254
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 10: guys for performing well all year long.

1255
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 3: My yeah, my mantra has been for two or three years.

1256
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 3: You know, the Bills have been going to Kansas City

1257
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 3: and losing in heartbreakers, in heartbreaking fashion, like three times.

1258
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 2: They can't you know, and they're not in the playoff

1259
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 2: pool and so neither since my mantra because of that,

1260
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 2: has been listening this team, including this one and this one,

1261
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 2: you'd have to say this roster is because of the injuries,

1262
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 2: it's probably not as good as the rosters they've had

1263
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 2: in the last four years, maybe three or four years,

1264
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 2: but it's good enough to go to and do it

1265
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 2: win it all. But you you've got to play well

1266
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 2: one game day.

1267
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 3: You've got to play well on that game day. You

1268
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 3: can't you can't puke the ball up on a short

1269
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 3: yardist play. You can't bobble a snap. You can't have

1270
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 3: a throw an incomplete pass, have it bounce backwards and

1271
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 3: have them called it a fumble. You know, you can't

1272
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 3: turn it over. You got to play your game. You

1273
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 3: gotta play well. If you do that, you're gonna win.

1274
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: This is this is.

1275
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 10: Like kind of turn it into like the the year

1276
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 10: the Giants won three role playoff games and went to

1277
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 10: the on to win the Super Bowl against right, the

1278
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 10: Patriots when they were eighteen and seventeen, who knows, right, Yeah,

1279
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 10: that's the type of the Giants leadership. And yeah, limping

1280
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 10: in leadership, Guys stepping up doesn't always have to be

1281
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 10: the main guy all the time. Guys stepping up, it's

1282
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 10: it's not when you know it's lose, you go home. Right,

1283
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 10: regular season is win, Okay, we can fix this next week.

1284
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 10: There's no next week after that, and so that's that mindset.

1285
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 10: I mean, look, these guys have been battle tested throughout there,

1286
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 10: and you're talking about like, if you look at the roster.

1287
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 2: The entire teams a veteran play it's a.

1288
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 8: Veteran playoff team. Yeah, didn't start out that didn't start

1289
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 8: out the way.

1290
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: But now employer.

1291
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 13: All these guys, Trey Trey right, who has been playing great,

1292
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 13: Trey Trey has guys. These guys weren't supposed to playing though,

1293
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 13: and they have been the guys who have stepped up

1294
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 13: and contributed in those moments to rel Bernard's has played

1295
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 13: well when he's had a chance. And now Milano uh

1296
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 13: Shaq Thompson has been a huge boost. He's kind of

1297
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 13: got that veteran grit kind of thing as an eleven

1298
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 13: year fest. So these you know, boasts is the same thing.

1299
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 13: He's long in the tooth, but it's.

1300
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 3: His first year here, but he's he's you know, he

1301
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 3: knows what's going on. You get these long, long in

1302
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 3: the tooth guys, and that starts showing these young guys like, listen.

1303
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 8: You gotta do it, you gotta do it. You like

1304
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 8: now that this is a guy in his eleven year

1305
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 8: look at it. He's still like, that's ready to go.

1306
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 8: Those young guys look at that.

1307
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 3: I think that gives them something that that they maybe lacked.

1308
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 2: Speaking of grizzled veterans, Brandon Cooks took the top off

1309
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 2: the defense a couple of times last week. That's now

1310
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 2: on film. Playoff defensive coordinators that have to face this offense.

1311
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 2: How do you see that paying dividends to the other

1312
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 2: aspects of Buffalo's offense?

1313
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 10: With this now on film, Well, now with Brandon coming

1314
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 10: through the last couple of games, from a couple of

1315
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 10: deep palls by Josh, now you get to see, okay,

1316
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 10: well that's that's covered. What about that twenty yard in

1317
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 10: coming in behind it? You know, so you start stretching

1318
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 10: the defense a little bit more like the linebacker's like, okay,

1319
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 10: well we got to drop back fifteen to twenty yards now,

1320
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 10: So I think that's gonna help.

1321
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 8: I think so. I think so.

1322
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 10: And I think you give them them routes. You know,

1323
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 10: you have them running them routes, man, which look, we

1324
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 10: haven't seen them really all year.

1325
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 8: So now with Brandon.

1326
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 10: Cook's in there, yeah, you're you're you're spreading the field

1327
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 10: a little wider than you usually are or have been

1328
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 10: the first thirteen or fourteen weeks.

1329
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1330
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 3: So now we're coming down to the to the end

1331
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 3: of this year, when will you do you think you'll

1332
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 3: start saying, you know what, I can't wait for the

1333
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 3: new building. I want to go in there. And you

1334
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 3: know what I mean, when you're gonna start looking forward

1335
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 3: to when this one's finally gone, you ain't gonna have

1336
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 3: nothing's in there anymore. Is it gonna be then where

1337
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 3: you're gonna say, I can't wait for the new game?

1338
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 3: And is it gonna be in the off season when

1339
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 3: training camp starts or what.

1340
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 8: It started about a year and a half ago.

1341
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 10: Over there, when they took the first dirt out of

1342
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 10: the ground over there, that's when it started from I

1343
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 10: was looking forward, just like, oh, this is gonna be

1344
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 10: not and then you start looking at the players, the

1345
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 10: layout of it, which was done by Populus, uh you

1346
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:49,439
Speaker 10: know so uh yeah, yeah, I started a long time ago.

1347
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 10: But like you say, when you miss a couple of

1348
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 10: weeks and you go over there, things change and they

1349
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 10: have changed tremendously and can't wait for Yeah, I mean,

1350
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 10: it's like we're closing this one. I'm like, I'm excited

1351
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 10: to get in this new one here like yeah, I mean,

1352
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 10: and what would make it more exciting. It's just kind

1353
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 10: of the stuff that we just talked about. If the

1354
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 10: team going to run and end up walking in that

1355
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 10: place with the Lombardi and that would kind of like

1356
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 10: time it off.

1357
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 8: Right, you know what I'm saying. Hanging So, yeah, I'm

1358
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 8: looking forward. I'm not asking for what. I'm just looking

1359
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 8: forward to getting in that building, man, and creating.

1360
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 10: Those memories because I mean, i mean, I don't know

1361
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 10: how been more years Josh and Dean and all these

1362
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,600
Speaker 10: guys have you know, i mean, somebody's gonna you know,

1363
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 10: when Josh and them retire, somebody else got to create

1364
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 10: more memories in this place.

1365
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 3: There's gonna be other great players that come through that building,

1366
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 3: just like there were here. Absolutely, they opened it up

1367
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 3: in seventy two hot in the old high Mark, and

1368
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 3: it wasn't until the mid eighties that you and I

1369
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:52,920

Speaker 3: there wasn't.

1371

01:08:56,680 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 2: We actually did a Games to Remember episode on the bill.

Speaker 2: No home playoff games in there until eighty eight.

1377

01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 2: That's why we have you guys around to tell old Stuarts.

1391
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 8: I wouldn't rather warm Morris say it.

1392
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:56,719
Speaker 3: I'm right there with you, just quite where I'm headed.

1393
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 3: I'm not there yet. I'm not that bitter yet. I

1394
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 3: want to be the bit old man. Nobody wants me.

1395
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 2: Never mind this is grand nobody wants me, never mind

1396
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,640
Speaker 2: that his grandkids already called him grump.

1397
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 1: Theurp.

1398
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,519

Speaker 2: we'll be joined by former Ville's quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in

1406
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 2: just a bit. Is we try to get some more

1407
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 2: memories from yesteryear for high Mark Stadium. I believe when

1408
01:10:54,240 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 2: fitz first got here it was still called Ralph Wilson Stadium.

1409
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I don't know if it

1410
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 2: had the high Mark Moniker before he left. I don't

1411
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 2: think it did. He was out here after twenty twelve. Yeah,

1412
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 2: made some return appearances in a visiting uniform.

1413
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, came back with the Jets.

1414
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 2: Played for a handful of other teams before he hung

1415
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 2: them up, But I don't know if he played with

1416
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 2: the Bunchie. He played against the Bills as a member

1417
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:25,720
Speaker 2: of the Texans, but that was in Houston, I remember that,

1418
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 2: and then with Miami. So yeah. The only team he

1419
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 2: didn't play for in this division was the Patriots. So yeah,

1420
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 2: pretty wild. While we're waiting on fits, we'll take a

1421
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 2: phone call. We'll go to Glenn in Newfane. What do

1422
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 2: you got first, Glenn, you're on one Bill's.

1423
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 11: Live Well, Happy New Year, and everybody have a safe

1424
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 11: and fun time tonight. And we got this. The think

1425
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,480
Speaker 11: of back to my season ticket years at rich Stadium,

1426
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,919
Speaker 11: probably eighty six to ninety six, like the whole Heyday

1427
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 11: was in there, so many games in there. Like my

1428
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:09,679
Speaker 11: memory is terrible. But last night I was watching the

1429
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:15,600
Speaker 11: farewell video on YouTube with you guys. Great job on that,

1430
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 11: whoever made it. I'm looking at these games and it's

1431
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 11: reminding me of really how much I forgot. It's crazy,

1432
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 11: how many action pack moments, how many memories were packed

1433
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 11: into a very short period of time. There after the

1434
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 11: drought or actually before or now we got like drought one,

1435
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:45,759
Speaker 11: drought two. I don't like counting droughts. I just wanted

1436
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 11: to say it was interesting to see things. I thought

1437
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 11: I knew a lot about the team, but looking back, like,

1438
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 11: for example, there was a guy who looked very familiar.

1439
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 11: I think his name was Champlain.

1440
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 3: Steve Steve Chanbeeve is it yes?

1441
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 11: Yeah? And when they were talking about the plans for

1442
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 11: the stadium for rich Stadium, originally I didn't realize there

1443
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 11: were like three other locations they were actually showing the diagrams,

1444
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 11: which I found to be like incredible. I didn't even

1445
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 11: know there were like three other locations they were looking

1446
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 11: at at the time. That was extremely interesting. And also

1447
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,600
Speaker 11: there was a game one of those many moments I

1448
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 11: forgot all about, and I can't remember if it was

1449
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 11: the Kansas City game with Joe Montana, because I remember

1450
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 11: it's the only time I ever sat in the upper

1451
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:43,600
Speaker 11: end zone, so I remember like the view I was

1452
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 11: looking at when we like basically killed them, I'm going, oh, no,

1453
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 11: we killed Joe Montana in the third quarter of the

1454
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 11: last AFC title game against the Chiefs. Yeah, my favorite

1455
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:58,439
Speaker 11: sign that day. Marty Schottenheimer was the coach, and somebody

1456
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:01,759
Speaker 11: took the amount of time to it was like still

1457
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 11: kind of the end of maybe the disco era. Hey Marty,

1458
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 11: this ain't no party, This ain't no disco, this ain't

1459
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 11: no fooling around. And it was on the face of

1460
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 11: the upper deck area, which I just found interesting. I

1461
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 11: just want to thank everybody that was a part of

1462
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 11: that video. It was great, and I recommend anybody who's

1463
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 11: been following the Bills as I have since nineteen sixty

1464
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 11: I was three years old. My memories aren't they have.

1465
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 3: VIVIDVIC but.

1466
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 11: I recommend anybody if you see the video Farewell, check

1467
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 11: it out. It's great. Happy New Year to you guys.

1468
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 2: Thanks guy, go Bill.

1469
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: Thanks.

1470
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Yeah, our video team did a great

1471
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 2: job with that. Alex Odahowski was the chief editor on

1472
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 2: the project, but a lot of hands went into putting

1473
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 2: that together. It's on our Bill's YouTube channel. Just look

1474
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 2: up Farewell to high Mark Stadium in the search bar

1475
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 2: at YouTube dot com on the Bills channel. It'll come

1476
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 2: right up. Got to turn now though, to another guest,

1477
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:02,000
Speaker 2: Ryan Fitzpatrick, former Bill's order back, obviously played quarterback for

1478
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 2: a few other teams, but that's how we remember them here.

1479
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 2: And as you know, you see fits on the Amazon

1480
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:12,600
Speaker 2: pre halftime and postgame shows for Amazon Prime telecasts on

1481
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 2: Thursday Night Football. So fits great to have you. Thanks

1482
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 2: for making some time. I wanted to ask you this

1483
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 2: one right off the rip. What is more memorable for you?

1484
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 2: I think I know the answer, but I'm just throwing

1485
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 2: this out there anyway. Is it the game that ended

1486
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 2: the streak for the Patriots in Week three of twenty

1487
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 2: eleven or was it the perfect playoff game where you

1488
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 2: ripped your shirt off in five degree weather and acted

1489
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:40,639
Speaker 2: like a raving lunatic.

1490
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1491
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 14: I have three crazy memories, and those are two of them.

1492
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 14: I would say the New England game is probably number one.

1493
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 14: Well there, I guess they were both New England games,

1494
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 14: But the New England game that I played in was

1495
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 14: probably number one because the streak ended. Being on the

1496
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 14: field after the game, just you know, being at one

1497
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 14: with the fans in that moment and truly understanding the

1498
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 14: pain that they had gone through and how much that

1499
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 14: meant to them.

1500
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 5: And guys that had been the team.

1501
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 14: Forever, you know, the freddie js and Kyle Williams and

1502
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:17,439
Speaker 14: those type of guy the show bulls.

1503
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 5: That was a pretty cool moment.

1504
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 14: For us, and even in just the fashion that it

1505
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 14: happened at the end of the game with Lindell making

1506
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 14: that field goal.

1507
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you have been back, and I with all

1508
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 3: you have a large family, a number of which were

1509
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 3: born here in Buffalo. You made the trip back, and

1510
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 3: you know the great video of you shirtless up in

1511
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 3: the stands when he came back, just to be a

1512
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 3: part of the group. And because your kids kind of

1513
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 3: kind of think of this, I guess they have some

1514
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 3: fond memories of their time here in Buffalo, still have

1515
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 3: probably some buddies here, and that's got to mean something

1516
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 3: to your family when you're sitting around talking about your

1517
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 3: memories as a player.

1518
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 2: It does that.

1519
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 14: The New England game that I was in the stands

1520
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 14: for the perfect you know, seven touchdown, seven drives. I

1521
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 14: was there with my two oldest boys at the time,

1522
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 14: I believe they were fourteen and twelve, yea, and had

1523
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,120
Speaker 14: a couple buddies from Tampa in with us, and we

1524
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 14: all threw the shirts off at the end. That's a

1525
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 14: really special memory. We try to get back every year.

1526
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 14: Unfortunately this year there probably won't be a home playoff game,

1527
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 14: but special memories with my boys doing that and just

1528
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 14: interacting with the fans and for them to understand how.

1529
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,879
Speaker 5: Special a place it is. We've got some great memories there.

1530
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and that's I think my biggest takeaway

1531
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 2: from your era in Bill's Football, you know, with you

1532
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 2: and Freddie and Stevie e Wood obviously and a lot

1533
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 2: of other guys, is how you were probably the most

1534
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 2: interconnected teams with the fan base that I've seen in

1535
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 2: my thirty years of being around this team. There. It

1536
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 2: was the dawn of social media. Obviously, Stevie was, you know,

1537
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 2: the front man in that effort. But the way in

1538
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 2: which your group connected with the fans was I think unique,

1539
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 2: and I think it's one of the reasons that your

1540
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:15,799
Speaker 2: your teams from that brief window of time are still

1541
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 2: so beloved by the fan base, even though the level

1542
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 2: of success Wasn't you know what this current iteration of

1543
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 2: the Bills are You're still fondly remembered. What can you

1544
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 2: say about the way in which you felt you connected

1545
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 2: with the fan base as a group.

1546
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 14: If you just think about the offense at that time, right,

1547
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 14: I was a seventh round pick that had been on

1548
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,600
Speaker 14: a couple different teams. Fred Jackson a great story that

1549
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 14: we all know, co College, undrafted, Scott Chandler, you know,

1550
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 14: we picked him up off a trash heap, Donald Jones,

1551
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 14: Naman Roosevelt, David Nelson. You just had you had all

1552
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 14: these guys that Stevie Johnson's seventh round pick that were

1553
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 14: so unheralded, And I think that part of it, the

1554
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 14: underdog part of that, guys that you know, people had

1555
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 14: already discarded and thrown away and didn't think anything.

1556
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 5: Of to go out there and they have a little

1557
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:10,440
Speaker 5: bit of success.

1558
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 14: But really, you know, our time going to training camp

1559
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 14: and getting interact with the fans and being at Saint

1560
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,720
Speaker 14: John Fisher. That's like one of my favorite moments, just

1561
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 14: going out to dinner and going out on town and

1562
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 14: interacting with people. And then for me, it was also

1563
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 14: just the people of Buffalo, like my neighborhood Crockpots. Sunday Baby,

1564
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 14: we would always have that one o'clock game and then

1565
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 14: would come home and everybody would sit out in their

1566
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 14: front yard and make something in the crock pot, and

1567
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 14: we would hang out and play with the kids all

1568
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 14: night long. So those are some of the fondest memories

1569
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 14: I have, and I think that part of it, the

1570
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 14: underdog part of that team is something that really helped

1571
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 14: in terms of connecting with the fans well.

1572
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 3: This current iteration of the Bills with Josh over the

1573
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:54,560
Speaker 3: last four or five years. Now, certainly this is the

1574
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 3: last first time in five years where they've won the division.

1575
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 3: They're coming in atos a wild card. It's a little

1576
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 3: bit of a different animal. And just the fact that

1577
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 3: they probably still have it under the hood to play

1578
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,720
Speaker 3: well and play well wherever they go. They've got the

1579
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 3: elder statesman quarterback in the entire bracket of the AFC,

1580
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 3: and their defense has taken a huge uptick over the

1581
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:24,719
Speaker 3: last month. All of that being said, and how good

1582
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 3: they look and how good they can play, and how

1583
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 3: good a player Josh can be, in the fact they

1584
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:31,360
Speaker 3: run the ball, you still have to play well on

1585
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 3: that last game of the year, that playoff game. You

1586
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 3: got to play well on that day. How do you

1587
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 3: see these playoffs shaking out who you like in this field?

1588
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 3: You know from Houston and La Chargers all the way

1589
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:44,560
Speaker 3: up through the four division winners in Buffalo.

1590
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think you sit there and you try to

1591
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 14: figure it out, and you know it is Buffalo gonna

1592
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 14: play Jacksonville during the first round. The way I look

1593
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 14: at it is like Buffalo versus any of these teams,

1594
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 14: what do you think?

1595
01:20:57,040 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 5: Like, how do you feel?

1596
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 14: And I think as fans, it's like if you would

1597
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 14: have told me at the beginning of the year that

1598
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 14: Mahomes wasn't going to be in the playoffs, and there's

1599
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 14: a chance Lamon r Is not going to be in

1600
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:08,599
Speaker 14: the playoffs and Josh was going to be the elder

1601
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 14: statesman other than maybe you know, Aaron Rodgers and the

1602
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 14: Pittsburgh Steelers team, I think you'd feel pretty good. And

1603
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 14: I do feel pretty good this year because the AFC

1604
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 14: is so up in the air.

1605
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:19,639
Speaker 5: I mean it really is.

1606
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 14: You can't tell me that Buffalo can't beat New England

1607
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 14: because they've already done it. You can't tell me the

1608
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:26,600
Speaker 14: Buffalo is not going to be able to go to

1609
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:27,639
Speaker 14: Denver and be Denver.

1610
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 5: So I feel really good about it.

1611
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 14: And I think one of the key components too, looking

1612
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 14: at that last game against Philly didn't play great, and Josh,

1613
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 14: when does he play his best, he hates letting people down,

1614
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:41,600
Speaker 14: you know, And I feel like in that game he

1615
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 14: misses the last throw on the two point conversion. That's

1616
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:49,599
Speaker 14: a burden that he carries and carries amazingly and it's

1617
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,600
Speaker 14: something that always brings out the best in him. So

1618
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 14: I think we're going to continue to see the best

1619
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 14: version of Josh Allen in the playoffs this year.

1620
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 1: So fits at the very top.

1621
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 2: You told us that the perfect playoff game, and then

1622
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 2: the twenty eleven Week three come back win over the

1623
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 2: Patriots in twenty eleven was two of your three.

1624
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 1: What's the third?

1625
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 14: Well, the third is not a pleasant one, which is

1626
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:16,439
Speaker 14: when I was on the Jets, we were ten and.

1627
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 5: Five buying.

1628
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 14: Wait d and Rex was in his first year and

1629
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,600
Speaker 14: you know, a meaningless game for the Bills and we

1630
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 14: ended up losing. That's also one that really sticks out.

1631
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,639
Speaker 14: But another positive one to end on, since we can

1632
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 14: in on a sour note, would be when I got

1633
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 14: to do the intro the where else would you rather

1634
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 14: be than right here right now? I got to bring

1635
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 14: my dad. I had all three of my boys there

1636
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:46,679
Speaker 14: and they were standing right next to me. When it happened,

1637
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 14: and just a really cool, full circle moment for me

1638
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 14: to be able to experience and share that with my kids.

1639
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 14: My youngest, my six year old, definitely thinks I'm a

1640
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 14: rock star because of that moment right there.

1641
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 2: Probably put Raiders week two on that list too, because

1642
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:08,439
Speaker 2: that was a hell of a comeback. Also, Uh, David Nelson, right,

1643
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 2: you know a.

1644
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:10,719
Speaker 5: Lot of high pitched streaming that was fun.

1645
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:11,959
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I wasn't.

1646
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 3: Going to say it.

1647
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 2: You chose to bring it up, but I think what

1648
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 2: was that, David Nelson. David Nelson, right, yeah.

1649
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:19,680
Speaker 5: David Nelson, yeap, right over the middle there it is.

1650
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was that was some fun times. And

1651
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 3: you're right fits the roster there you had around you

1652
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 3: and you went through it, you know, undrafted guys, guys

1653
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 3: on the scrap heap, low round picks that all came

1654
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 3: together and became something that fans appreciated and the level

1655
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 3: of sic say, I think as many wins as you

1656
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 3: wanted to, but man, what a fun group to be

1657
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 3: a part of, to cover, easy to root for even

1658
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 3: in losses. For that, for the very reason you mentioned,

1659
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 3: it's got to be something that it very nostalgic for

1660
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 3: your crew, is this is this stadium closes down.

1661
01:23:58,080 --> 01:23:59,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, very very nostalgic.

1662
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 14: And I also think, you know, the cool part about

1663
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 14: being a Buffalo bill is just getting to know all

1664
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 14: the other guys, getting to know you, you know, Thurm

1665
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:15,400
Speaker 14: and Andre Jim obviously being around and just it's a community.

1666
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:16,799
Speaker 5: It's even though.

1667
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:18,879
Speaker 14: We all kind of played in different eras and obviously

1668
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 14: you guys had a ton of success, it was always

1669
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:24,680
Speaker 14: welcome with open arms anybody that was going to come

1670
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 14: on to this team and be a part of this community.

1671
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 14: And so I think that's what SAIDs Buffalo apart from

1672
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,759
Speaker 14: other places as well, and there's so many great memories

1673
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 14: in this stadium. But I mean walking around, walking around

1674
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 14: the new stadium, I'm pretty excited for that one to

1675
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 14: open up, too, because it was pretty spectacular. I got

1676
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,679
Speaker 14: to go in there right before our Thursday night game,

1677
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 14: so it's just before they had laid the grass, which

1678
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 14: I had no idea that it was going to be

1679
01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 14: a grass at the time, but it's going to be

1680
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 14: pretty spectacular as well.

1681
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:54,639
Speaker 5: Lots of new memories to be created.

1682
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 2: Fitz, thanks for spending some time with us. We really

1683
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 2: appreciate it, and we'll see you up here in the

1684
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 2: not too distant future. I'm sure. Take care and have

1685
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 2: a happy New Year with your family.

1686
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 5: All right, Happy to year, guys, thank you.

1687
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 2: All right, that's Ryan Fitzpatrick joining us. And you know

1688
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 2: he mentioned the week three twenty eleven games, Steve, and

1689
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 2: I'll just say he mentioned, you know, having potluck dinners

1690
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 2: with the neighbors after he'd come home from one o'clock games.

1691
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 2: That game, it was a seventy degree day, late September.

1692
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 2: People have the windows open on their houses. And I

1693
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 2: still remember coming home from that game and my wife

1694
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 2: telling me because she's what was watching that game at home.

1695
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 2: She said, when the field goal went through, she could

1696
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 2: hear other neighbors in the neighborhood because everybody's windows were open,

1697
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:42,800
Speaker 2: its beautiful day, cheering in their homes, you you know,

1698
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 2: just in their neighborhood.

1699
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 3: Watch the fans absolutely lose it. They showed quick shots

1700
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 3: of the Bills fans and they're hopping up and down, jumping, they'

1701
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 3: hugging each other. They're for Yet they go to three

1702
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 3: and oh with that win, yeah yeah, and there they're

1703
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:02,360
Speaker 3: not even facing the field. They aren't eve watching anymore.

1704
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,720
Speaker 3: They're looking at their friends and they're all hugging it. Yeah,

1705
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:07,640
Speaker 3: they're all hugging each other. I've made that statement a

1706
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 3: lot that there's nothing like looking at when something like

1707
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,680
Speaker 3: that happens. Something I'm not expected because you knew there's

1708
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 3: a field goal was either hit or missed. But when

1709
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 3: some of these stuff, these things happen that we all remember.

1710
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 3: You look up into the stands and high mark and

1711
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 3: it's like nothing you've ever seen before. To see the

1712
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 3: fans ecstatic like that.

1713
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 2: We got to take a break here one segment ago.

1714
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 2: We'll see if we can squeeze into a phone call

1715
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 2: when we return here. On one Bill's Live presented by

1716
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 2: co Lot of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Eating Up

1717
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 2: and Cooling Down is presented by t Mark Hvac and Plumbing,

1718
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 2: the official residential HVAC partner the Buffalo Bills and he

1719
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 2: Up is Buffalo's pass defense. They've been getting sacks on

1720
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:07,040
Speaker 2: the quarterback i Greg Russo has four sacks over his

1721
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:13,360
Speaker 2: last three games, getting pressure forcing in completions, and Bills

1722
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 2: are now and have been for the last few weeks,

1723
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:18,120
Speaker 2: the number one pass defense in the league. They're allowing

1724
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,760
Speaker 2: just one hundred and sixty three passing yards per game.

1725
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:24,839
Speaker 3: You've got two corners in Christian Benford and Tredavious White,

1726
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:29,320
Speaker 3: who are allowing a forty just under a forty three

1727
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 3: quarterback rating when they're targeted over the last since Week six,

1728
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,679
Speaker 3: and they're two of the top three in the league

1729
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:40,280
Speaker 3: since Week six in completion percentage allowed, yeah allowed. Tredavious

1730
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 3: White's allowing a thirty point eight percent completion percentage and

1731
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:46,680
Speaker 3: Christian Benford's forty point seven. So the guys on the

1732
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 3: outside are doing their jobs really well and have come

1733
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 3: to get coming around to really finish strong this season.

1734
01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 3: So that's one of the reasons this pass defense is

1735
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 3: headed up.

1736
01:27:56,200 --> 01:28:00,759
Speaker 2: They're tied for the fourth fewest passing touch downs allowed

1737
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 2: this season, just eighteen all year, and the sixth lowest

1738
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 2: passer rating allowed as a defensive unit. Eighty point three

1739
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:12,719
Speaker 2: is the collective opponent passer rating against the Bills. Cooling

1740
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 2: down Buffalo's point production only twenty three points on the

1741
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,720
Speaker 2: road against Cleveland two weeks ago, and as we know,

1742
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:25,719
Speaker 2: just twelve points last week against the defending Super Bowl champs.

1743
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:29,759
Speaker 2: They would obviously like to ramp up their scoring production

1744
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 2: this week against the Jets heading into the interseason.

1745
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 3: Interesting thing about this year and that's I don't know nothing.

1746
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:36,879
Speaker 3: I don't know what it means. Bell say it. Anyway,

1747
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 3: When the Bills scored twenty one points or more, they're

1748
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:43,960
Speaker 3: eleven to zero. When they scored less than twenty one points,

1749
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 3: they're o to five.

1750
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 5: Yep.

1751
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:49,639
Speaker 2: Could be something to that.

1752
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 3: When they get to twenty one, that seems to be

1753
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 3: the magic number this year.

1754
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully they do that.

1755
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 3: Well, I remember because it's not always how because remember

1756
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:00,840
Speaker 3: last year they scored forty two in a boss out

1757
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:05,599
Speaker 3: in La right, you know, so that kind of stuff happens.

1758
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 3: But this year it's been all about their defense has

1759
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,639
Speaker 3: at least been consistent, right, you know, their running game.

1760
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, zero to five if they score less than

1761
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:14,759
Speaker 3: twenty one points.

1762
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 2: So that is heating up and cooling down. Presented by
