00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: the players are out on the practice field walk through only,

6
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: as has been the case for the last few Wednesdays.

7
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: You get to the end of.

8
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: The season, give a break to the bodies, so walkthrough

9
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: is the practice soup of the day today and they'll

10
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: get back to more realistic football practice tomorrow. That's just

11
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: kind of the way it works these days. And we'll

12
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: get you all your updates here as they trickle in.

13
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: We'll also have post practice podium sound as we usually

14
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 2: do on Wednesdays. Josh Allen expected to address the media,

15
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: among others, so we'll pass that along to you as

16
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: soon as it is available. And in our number two,

17
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: we get to catch up with Mike Tariko, who's going

18
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: to be calling the game on NBC on Sunday Night

19
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: Football as it is yet another primetime game for the Bills.

20
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: There seventh this season.

21
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: Crazy.

22
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: We knew it could happen when that schedule came out

23
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: in the Miami game, the last week of the season

24
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: had a TBD next to it. We all said, maybe

25
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 4: this could be for the division, and here we are, Brownie.

26
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty funny.

27
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: We were talking to dan Orlowski yesterday and he said,

28
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: I'll bet if you said to your fans a month

29
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: and a half ago, you know, at six and six,

30
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: that you'd be playing for the division in week eighteen,

31
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: you'd be crazy. I said, well, hold on a second, there, Dan,

32
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: I said, we actually tossed that around because that was

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: the only thing we could hang on to at.

34
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: That point at six and six.

35
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: But here we are five weeks later, and that is

36
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: what is at stake on Sunday Night in Miami between

37
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: the Bills and the Dolphins. Pretty exciting stuff and aptly

38
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: it has been placed in the primetime window on Sunday

39
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: Night Football on NBC. So looking forward to that conversation

40
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: with Mike this is I want to say, it's like

41
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: his third game for the.

42
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: With the Bills.

43
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, that sounds right.

44
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: Because he did the Saturday night game in LA. Yes,

45
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: yes he did, and then and then did he do

46
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: the Bengals.

47
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 5: Also Sunday Night Football here right?

48
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

49
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: Giants week six? So I'm trying to remember if he

50
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: did the Bengals game.

51
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: Was that a night or a Monday night?

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: They Yeah, so that's this will be his fourth game.

53
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 5: Happy to have you on our team.

54
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah sure, Hey, you know what are the Bills two

55
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: and one? With Mike Tarico in the booth, Ben, all right,

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: let's try to make it three and one. Among the

57
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: other players expected to go to the post practice podium

58
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: today in addition to Josh, Taron Johnson, and Mitch Morse. So,

59
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: as we said, we'll pass those along to you as

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: as soon as they step up to the mic and

61
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: start answering questions. UH Injury Updates Slash Practice Updates, presented

62
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: by Lee Coom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.

63
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: The good news is that coming down the stretch here,

64
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: the Bills have gotten decidedly healthier, particularly on the defensive

65
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: side of the ball. We saw Daikwon Jones and Micah

66
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: Hyde returned to the lineup last week. Josh Allen the

67
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: only person coming out with any kind of injury of note,

68
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: it was a neck injury, and head coach Sean McDermott

69
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: about an hour ago, Manny and I were sitting there listening,

70
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: said that his neck is still sore and said we'll

71
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: take it a day at a time, but he did

72
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: say he expects him to be able to suit up

73
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: and play Sunday Night.

74
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: And I think you need a team.

75
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: Of wild horses to drag Josh Allen out of the

76
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: stadium to keep him from playing Sunday Night.

77
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the type of news you want to hear.

78
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: Tasker and I were talking about it right after the

79
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 4: Week seventeen game on our postgame show, just about how

80
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: at this point this season, Yes, nobody is. Nobody's one

81
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: hundred percent at this point, but we believe the Bills

82
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 4: are getting healthier and this is a good place for

83
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: them to be in about as healthy as you can

84
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: be heading into the last game of the regular season

85
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 4: and hopefully into a playoff push. We just released top

86
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: storylines on Buffalo bills dot com this morning, and one

87
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: of the storylines I had was just about Miami's injuries,

88
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 4: everything that they're.

89
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 5: Dealing with right now. You can go ahead and.

90
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: Read it, but there are quite a few guys that

91
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 4: were knocked out a last week's game or didn't even

92
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: participate in Week seventeen. Several guys on IR Bradley Chubb

93
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: out for the season where he moster did not play

94
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: in Week seventeen. Robert Hunt, one of their offensive linemen,

95
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 4: has missed some time and it's not sure. We're not

96
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: sure at this point if he's going to be in

97
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 4: the lineup. So quite a few players that are working

98
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: through things a part of the Dolphins, and you look

99
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 4: at what they're dealing with versus what we're dealing with,

100
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 4: and I'm feeling like we are in a lot better

101
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: place than they are right now.

102
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bill's had injuries early, Dolphins are incurring injuries late.

103
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: So the timing not good for Miami.

104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: Even Xavier and Howard, one of their top corners, left

105
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: last week's game with a foot injury, got carted off

106
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: and Mike McDaniel has already said this week he does

107
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: not expect him to suit up and play. So that's

108
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: another guy that's going to be down on their roster,

109
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: and he leads that team in pass breakups with twelve

110
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: on the season, you think about the guys that the

111
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: Bill's lost on defense, White, Milano and Jones, those are

112
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: three Pro Bowl level players. Now the Dolphins are without

113
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: Jalen Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Xaviant Howard on defense, and

114
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: Jerome Baker, their starting middle linebacker's been out on ir

115
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 2: It's pretty comparable to what the Bills experienced in the

116
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: middle of the season, they're experience against here at the

117
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 2: end of the season. We've also got an award winner

118
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: this week that we'll get to after we come back

119
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 2: from the post practice podium. Because Josh Allen is addressing

120
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: the media right now, it'd.

121
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 6: Be extremely easy to force him, you know, that's you know,

122
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 6: that's where the balance comes in of needing to get

123
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 6: him involved, but also trying to play the quarterback position

124
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 6: the right way and find the guys that are, you know,

125
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 6: opening the progression. But again, make no mistake about it,

126
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 6: we got to get it involved. You know, we're our

127
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 6: best when he's playing at his best. So that's something

128
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 6: we're looking forward to to doing and just trying to

129
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 6: end the day, we're just trying to win a football

130
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 6: game and secure spot in the playoffs.

131
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 7: Stuff after the passing is not functional foot the level

132
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 7: in a personal look at the.

133
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 6: I mean, I think there's been a couple of games

134
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 6: where you know, I haven't thrown at my best and again,

135
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 6: you you wish it was perfect every time you went out,

136
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 6: and you know, when you've had success as an offense before,

137
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 6: especially in the passing game, it's not going your way or.

138
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 3: Just trying to find all the answers.

139
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 6: But you know, at the end of the day, we're

140
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 6: just trying to find ways to execute and win football games.

141
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 6: And you know we've been doing that as of late.

142
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 6: We're running the ball more than we've really ever have.

143
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 6: So again it's it's a it's a push and pull

144
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 6: situation where again, you can be really good at it

145
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 6: and it can help you out, or you can continue

146
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 6: to find ways to win football games.

147
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: But that's that's the main thing, is winning football games.

148
00:07:51,640 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 8: Would your death is if if if if Steph is

149
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 8: a point of every Joe great set up?

150
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 9: Why does number? Why does he's not overplected number?

151
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

152
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 6: I mean, I think sometimes the flow of the game

153
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 6: dictates that. Defenses, you know, whether it's doubling him or

154
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 6: throwing a safety over him, or you know, being being

155
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 6: the first reading progressions and just getting off of it

156
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 6: maybe too quickly. There's a lot of a lot of

157
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,679
Speaker 6: stuff that goes into it. But again, we're we're looking

158
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 6: forward to to working hard and fixing it and like

159
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 6: I said, win football games. How was feeling with this,

160
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 6: He's been he's been fantastic. You know, he's he's been

161
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 6: a true professional about it. Obviously. You know there's times

162
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 6: where he wants the ball and it's deservedly so you know,

163
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 6: he's one of the best, if not the best receivers

164
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 6: in the game. And you know he he acquired or

165
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 6: he gets a lot of attention from defenses. So sometimes

166
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 6: it's just out. It plays out. But I gotta be

167
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 6: be better in that aspect too.

168
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, you should show you affected anyway, No, not

169
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 7: at all.

170
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 10: How much you can you need to take from your

171
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 10: week core meating with this team and the defensive particular,

172
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 10: versus how much they've evolved since them.

173
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: Like it's just the one to sample size with the

174
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: end kids. Yeah, I mean, I think.

175
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 6: Personnel wise, they're they're different than when we played them

176
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 6: week four. Obviously, they they've got Ramsey back. I'm not

177
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 6: sure what they've said about Howard. I don't know if

178
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 6: he's going this week or not. You know, it sucks

179
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 6: to see them lose their their two dns, Phillips and Child.

180
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 6: That's a it's a really good young pairing in the league.

181
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 6: Right now, they were playing as good as anybody in

182
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 6: the league. So I hate to see them now with injuries,

183
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 6: you know, but personnel wise, they're going to be slightly

184
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 6: different than, like I said, than what we've seen, and

185
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 6: schematically I think they're just slightly different too, So just

186
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 6: trying to get a feel earlier what they're trying to

187
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 6: do if they're gonna have to bring different pressures to

188
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 6: try to affect the quarterback, and you know, they just

189
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 6: they just played a game where they didn't play too

190
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 6: well against a really good team, so they're hungry. There's

191
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 6: no doubt about that big game at home for them.

192
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 6: You know, their crowd's going to be rocking. So we're

193
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 6: stepping into a very hostile and dangerous situation, you know.

194
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 6: With that, you know when it comes up in terms

195
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 6: of the AFC East on the line. So we got

196
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 6: to give everything that we got.

197
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 11: You mentioned those differences.

198
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 8: You know, you've probably so much success against the Dolphins

199
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 8: throughout your career.

200
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 12: Can you draw on that at all or is it

201
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 12: too much in.

202
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 13: A back up to do that?

203
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I think every game is different.

204
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 6: You know, each game's got a specific flow and again

205
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 6: just just trying them with football games, no matter what

206
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 6: it takes. And I've played, I've played well against them

207
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 6: in the past, but doesn't mean I'm gonna play well

208
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 6: against them this week unless I you know, prepare well

209
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 6: and work hard and practice and get on the same

210
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 6: page as receivers and you know, the five guys up

211
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 6: front do their job and receivers catch the ball. So

212
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 6: it takes everybody to do that. So you know, we're

213
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 6: we're we're looking forward to having a good week of

214
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 6: practice and putting our rest for Ford.

215
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: For tourna.

216
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 7: So it was rookie year played at day one.

217
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: What do you think has stood out the Bowl at consistency.

218
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 6: You know, he's been out there I think every every

219
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 6: single snap, which is not easy to do, especially as

220
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 6: a rookie. You know, in college you play ten to

221
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 6: twelve games and maybe a bowl game if you're lucky,

222
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 6: and now to play, you know, to have a full

223
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 6: camp preseason or just kind of battling for a job

224
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 6: and then you know, going into our seventeenth game of

225
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 6: the season, I think he's played every snap on offense,

226
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 6: which is incredibly tough to do. You know, he's a

227
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 6: tough kid, he's smart, he does things the right way.

228
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 6: He cares about his teammates. But he's been super consistent.

229
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 7: All you a long gosh, you go back to would

230
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 7: go for sixty six season in the line.

231
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 14: You know, we talked about it for a couple of

232
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 14: weeks there. You guys essentially saved your season with the way.

233
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 11: You've played over the last couple of weeks.

234
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 7: And now you have a chance to.

235
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 11: Play for the team.

236
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 7: See, how have you done it?

237
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 6: I mean, we've just kind of taken the mindset of

238
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 6: it's that we've been to the playoffs. You know, it's

239
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 6: been surviving advance or winning go home, and it's no

240
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 6: different this week. You know, we don't want to rely

241
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 6: on anybody else. We gotta you know, in our minds,

242
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 6: it's a it's a must win game, you know, we

243
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 6: gotta we gotta go get this done. And there's a

244
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 6: hungry team, a team that's really good. It's played very

245
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 6: well throughout the season standing in front of us, So

246
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 6: we gotta do whatever we can.

247
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 7: How exciting is it earning the opportunity to play them?

248
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 7: That tell advised to with this?

249
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, the you know, Joe always talks about the reward

250
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 6: for doing is the opportunity to do more, and that's

251
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 6: what we've got in front of us. We've talked about this,

252
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 6: you know, for the last five six weeks now, and

253
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 6: of you know, how our season can go and what

254
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 6: we want to do and what we want to accomplish

255
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 6: and everything.

256
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: What we want to accomplish is still in front of us.

257
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 6: But again it's it's gonna take a group effort on

258
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 6: all three phases to go get a victory on Sunday

259
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 6: in a hostile environment, knowing that you're.

260
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 7: The last game, so you'll know exactly what the matter is.

261
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 7: You could be pretty cool kicked out.

262
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 11: How How is that?

263
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 7: How much that alter things? Anyway?

264
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 3: It really doesn't for us.

265
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 6: We're we're focused on you know, uh going there and

266
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 6: playing playing our best game and again not relying on

267
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 6: anybody else, just ourselves.

268
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: What's happening Saturday at all?

269
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 6: I mean, I personally won't and again we'll know before that.

270
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 6: But again it doesn't change our our mindset. Every time

271
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 6: we step on the field, we're trying to win a

272
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 6: football game.

273
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 12: And then you guys have.

274
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 7: Taught you've specially turned up being in this playoff.

275
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: For a while now, does that help with a big

276
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 3: game like this that you guys have kind of been

277
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: in this for weeks now where it's like gott Yeah.

278
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 6: I mean again, I think having the guys that we

279
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 6: have in this locker room, the the knowledge, the trust,

280
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 6: and the love that we have for each other is

281
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 6: second to none. And you know, we're gonna rely on

282
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 6: each other this this Sunday, and we're gonna need everybody

283
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 6: in this locker room, in this facility, you know, whether

284
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 6: it's training staff, equipment staff, strength staff. Were gonna need

285
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,119
Speaker 6: everybody to go get this done.

286
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: I feel like given the number of different ways you

287
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: guys have won the games, I mean, heading into the

288
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 2: stripes of the.

289
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,359
Speaker 9: Season, if we having the season positive playoffs, less predictable

290
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 9: than maybe you were a year or not.

291
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 6: Potentially again, I think you know, James has been running

292
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 6: it very well. Our line has been, you know, blocking

293
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 6: their tails off in the run game. They've doing been

294
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 6: doing a great job in the past game as well.

295
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 6: You know, guys are finding ways to get open. You

296
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 6: talk about you know Khalil and and Dalton and Gabe

297
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 6: and Steph and having Jim go out of the backfield

298
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 6: and Dawson coming back the last few weeks. He's been

299
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 6: really good in the past game. So again, I think

300
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 6: we've got a variety of ways to to move the ball,

301
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 6: but we got execute and comes down to me putting

302
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 6: the ball where it needs to be.

303
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 15: Basher recognized there on the other side of the ball.

304
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 7: But what can you say about the leadership that NewYork if,

305
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 7: like I have.

306
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 6: A whole organizations, Yeah, I mean they've been the constant

307
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 6: here for the last six years. They they worked extremely hard.

308
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 6: They care so much about not just this game, but

309
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 6: this team, this community here in Buffalo. It's it's awesome

310
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 6: to be a be a part of a team that

311
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 6: they're on because it really really motivates you. Obviously them

312
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 6: having vet leadership being in the league for quite some

313
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 6: time now, but also the the openness and how honest

314
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 6: they they are, you know, in regards to their careers

315
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 6: and what.

316
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: They want to accomplish.

317
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 6: You know, it's it's the best I've ever been around,

318
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 6: and I'm just, you know, thankful I can be a

319
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 6: part of a team that has them on it.

320
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 14: Thanks took off so much for you and the offense

321
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 14: of Joe, and we took over that job over the

322
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 14: last couple of games the pass year hasn't been a facted.

323
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 7: What are those conversations been, Like, what Joe?

324
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 11: What have you seen from Joe? Yeah?

325
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 6: I mean I gotta be better. There's there's no doubt

326
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 6: about that. You know, I gotta gotta throw it better.

327
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 6: I gotta find find the open guys sooner and give

328
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 6: them chances to to run after the catch. So it's

329
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 6: really what it comes down to is, you know, Joe

330
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 6: having confidence and calling a play and us having confidence

331
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 6: going out there and executing it.

332
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: You guys have had a lot of fans support in

333
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: Miami the last couple of trips you guys have been

334
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: down there.

335
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 7: What would mean to have the you know, Bills fans

336
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 7: shown again?

337
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I hope we can can make it

338
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 6: a big Bills MOFIA group down there. You know, I know,

339
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 6: we we travel well and we've done that the last

340
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 6: few times we've played in Miami, and you know it's

341
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 6: no different this time. Hopefully we can get some some

342
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 6: fans down there and cheering loud for us and trying

343
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 6: to cause some problems for them too.

344
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: Thanks. Sure will be blame to thank you. Yeah. Yeah,

345
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: that game, I'm.

346
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 6: Not sure the weather report, I saw maybe some rain,

347
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 6: so uh well, just accordingly.

348
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: I guess all right.

349
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: That's Josh Allen addressing the media after their walk through

350
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: practice today. I think you know, he's got his mindset

351
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: already kind of prepared for this one. He's not taking

352
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: any of his past successes, including a perfect passer rating

353
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: in Week four, for granted, he's a brand new game.

354
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: And to our point.

355
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: Earlier, with all the injuries they have, this is a

356
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: much different Miami team that they're going to be facing,

357
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: and for that matter, the Bills are a much different

358
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: team than the Dolphins.

359
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: Saw in Week four.

360
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and when Sean McDermott was asked about Josh Allen's

361
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: success against Miami since coming into the NFL, he said, hey,

362
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 4: Vic Fangio is new to Miami. It's not like he's

363
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 4: gone up against that type of defense every time. He's

364
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 4: gotten to play the Miami Dolphins and put up these

365
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 4: incredible stats in terms of passer rating and touchdowns that

366
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 4: he's thrown against that defense. So he said, it's not

367
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 4: like we can copy paste every single game and expect

368
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 4: that that's what's going to happen, because they do have

369
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 4: a great defensive coordinator. Yes, several injuries, but every game

370
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 4: is different. We're all smart enough to know that it's

371
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: not going to be the same as Week four or

372
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: this season before that.

373
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 5: Hopefully it is.

374
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 4: Hopefully we see a lot of success from Josh Allen

375
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 4: and his offense, but they're going to have to work

376
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 4: for that, and they know that, and that's what this

377
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 4: week is for.

378
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, US Miami is a much more productive, much more

379
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 2: successful team in their own building.

380
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: I think they're nineteen to.

381
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: Three over their last twenty two games at home. I

382
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: think it's either the best or second best in the

383
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: league over that span. One other thing to note on

384
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, he was asked about his neck.

385
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: He said, it's good to go. I'm ready to roll.

386
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: So it doesn't look like it's going to be any

387
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: kind of lingering thing through the course of this week

388
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: to inhibit his ability to practice, let alone play on

389
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: Sunday night. This week's game against the Dolphins is presented

390
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: by Ticketmaster, the official ticket marketplace of the NFL. We

391
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: told you before we turned to Josh Allen at the

392
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: post practice podium about an award winner this week, and

393
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: you if you watched any of last week's game can

394
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: probably guess who that award winner is. It's Bill's cornerback

395
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: Rasuell Douglas, who today was named AFC Defensive Player of

396
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 2: the Week, thanks in law large part to his two interceptions,

397
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: one of which he returned forty yards for a touchdown.

398
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: He also had three pass breakups, one of which led

399
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: to a third interception by Ed Oliver in the game.

400
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: As the Bills had four takeaways in the win over

401
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 2: the Patriots, Douglas also had two tackles. But Maddie, he

402
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: now has six takeaways in seven games in a Bills uniform,

403
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 2: and that leads the league over the last seven weeks.

404
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 5: It's crazy.

405
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 4: You come in October thirty first, the end of October

406
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 4: basically the beginning of November. By the time you get

407
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 4: on the practice field, it is now January third, and

408
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 4: in that span you've been a difference maker for this defense.

409
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 4: Kudos to the scouting department for knowing who to look at,

410
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 4: knowing what might fit within Buffalo system. And then kudos

411
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 4: to the coaching staff for being able to get this

412
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 4: guy and his teammates on the field, get him ready

413
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 4: for Hey, You're going to play a lot for this team.

414
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: You're going to be a have a big role within

415
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 4: this defense. We're gonna expect a lot of you. And

416
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 4: he did what it needed, what he needed to do

417
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 4: to be able to learn this defense and make an

418
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 4: impact be an impact player on the field. And if

419
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 4: you watched Jordan Poyers Miked Up, which we released on

420
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 4: the website, there's a little bit of dialogue between Jordan

421
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 4: and Micah and Rasoul and they talk about Jordan and

422
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 4: Mike and what they've been able to do on the

423
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 4: field since becoming Buffalo Bills, and Rasoul is like, Hey,

424
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 4: I listen to you guys, because I know whatever you're saying,

425
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 4: it's going to be correct. So if you have an

426
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: adjustment for me, I'm gonna make it. And then you

427
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 4: see that payoff on the field with the game that

428
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 4: he had last week.

429
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And Rasoul said as much after the game as well.

430
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: He was saying, yeah, whatever those guys say, I'm taking

431
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: it and I'm doing it because they've been doing it

432
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: together here for the better part of the last seven

433
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: seasons in this system, which for all intents and purposes,

434
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: remains unchanged, so they know it like the back of

435
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: their hands. So Rasoul I mean, we had him here

436
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: in studio a couple of week weeks ago, and even

437
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: as little as two weeks ago, he's like, I'm still

438
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: just learning the game plan every week. Forget about the

439
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: entire defense. He's just trying to cram the game plan

440
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 2: in and have that down for the upcoming week. So

441
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: the fact that he's been this successful when he hasn't

442
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: even fully grasped the defensive playbook yet is saying something.

443
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: And the best part is the guy is under contract

444
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: for next season, also in his age thirty season. So

445
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: a pretty good acquisition by Brandon Bean in the personnel

446
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: department for Buffalo when they needed it, knowing they didn't

447
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 2: have Tradevius White the rest of the way this season.

448
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: So certainly good news for the Bills they're in. Congrats

449
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: Toastool for winning the Defensive Player of the Week for

450
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: the AFC.

451
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: Got a topic of discussion for you.

452
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: Gonna have a little fun with this, knowing the huge

453
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: stakes for Sunday Night's game between the Bills and Dolphins.

454
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: We're giving you a fill in the blank assignment at

455
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: eighth three five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two,

456
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 2: five fifty the numbers to get on board. This weekend's

457
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: game against the Dolphins is blank. So fill in the

458
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 2: blank for us there at the end of that sentence,

459
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: and you know, if you want to get creative, feel

460
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: free just keep it clean. But seriously, like, just your

461
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: thoughts about this game, what kind of vibe you have?

462
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 2: How encouraged are you knowing the bills of one four straight.

463
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 2: The Dolphins are kind of licking their wounds how the

464
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 2: first matchup went, although it was up here in Buffalo,

465
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 2: So just kind of roll all that stuff around in

466
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: your head and come up with a good answer for

467
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: us as to filling in this blank. This weekend's game

468
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 2: against the Dolphins is blank. Eight oh three five point

469
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 2: fifty one eighty eight eight five point fifty two five

470
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: point fifty are the numbers to get on board. Got

471
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 2: open lines for you there, or you can hit us

472
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 2: up on the tweetsheet at one Bills Live. We do

473
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 2: have some Dolphins updates, Maddie spout in an update on

474
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Waddle, so you want to give that one because

475
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Wattle, as Maddy mentioned, did not play last week,

476
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: suffered a high ankle sprain the week prior and sometimes

477
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: those can take up to four to six weeks if

478
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: they're serious. Two weeks ago, Mike McDaniel indicated it's not

479
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 2: a serious high ankle sprain, but it's a high ankle sprain. Nonetheless,

480
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: he doesn't play against the Ravens last week.

481
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: What's the latest today, Yeah, So, just like the Bills,

482
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 4: they had to walk through practice today and Jalen Wattle

483
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 4: did participate in that. They said, you know, they're going

484
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 4: to take it one day at a time, but if

485
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 4: they think that he's ready to go with some practice reps,

486
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 4: they'll be willing to give those two him. So I

487
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 4: think it's a wait and see with Jalen Wattle still

488
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 4: very unsure of his status. I guess good for Miami

489
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 4: that he was able to go through walk through today,

490
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 4: but we'll see if he's able to participate in any

491
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 4: practices this week.

492
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: It's going to be really interesting to see how Mike

493
00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: McDaniel handles some of his injury question marks this week, because, yes,

494
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 2: you want to win the division, you want the number

495
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 2: two seed, because you want home playoff games, But do

496
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: you want to do it at the expense of maybe

497
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: not having a guy like Jayden Waddle the next week?

498
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 2: Because if he plays this week to get you there,

499
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: might he aggravated and not be able to play the

500
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: following week. Those kinds of decisions are going to be

501
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 2: on the table for him this week. The other one

502
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 2: concerns Jerome Baker, their starting middle linebacker, who has been

503
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 2: on injured reserve the last several weeks. They opened his

504
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: practice window today, but coach McDaniel did not sound overly optimistic,

505
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 2: saying time will tell if he will be ready to

506
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: play on Sunday against the Bills. So the guy that

507
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: has been playing in his absence is Duke Riley, who

508
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: is a liability in coverage. He was getting torched last

509
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: week by Raven's running back Justice Hill in pass coverage,

510
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 2: actually got beat for a touchdown, among other things. So

511
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: you know that they would prefer to have Baker back

512
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 2: in the lineup. Is better coverage linebacker than his replacement

513
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: Duke Rieley, which only makes sense. But it's a problem

514
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 2: for them at the second level and has been for

515
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 2: quite some time. So you know that if he is

516
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: the least bit able to go out there and give

517
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: them snaps, they will probably activate him to the active

518
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: roster by weeks in. So we wait on that as well,

519
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: and I found it interesting he is the eighth and

520
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: final designation to return for Miami.

521
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: You only get eight per season.

522
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: That'll just give you an idea on how much of

523
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: the churn has happened to that Miami.

524
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: Roster this year due to injury.

525
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: They've just had a cavalcade of injuries here down the

526
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: stretch at the end of the season, and it's why

527
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: they're kind of a.

528
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: Wounded duck right now.

529
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 2: And you kind of if you watched last week's game

530
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: between the Dolphins and the Ravens, you kind of saw

531
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: it like once the game started heading one way, they

532
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: just looked tired and slow. And maybe it's because the

533
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: game was largely decided once it was thirty five to thirteen,

534
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 2: but they gave up three more touchdowns after that and

535
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 2: it finished fifty six to nineteen. It was an ugly,

536
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: ugly game, their worst loss by far this season. So

537
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 2: you wonder if they're able to regroup. You know, in

538
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: a monumental game, you would think because of what's on

539
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 2: the line, they're going to come out firing, even though

540
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 2: last week went so poorly.

541
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: But we'll see.

542
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think if they've lost back to back

543
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 2: games this season.

544
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: It may have happened once Shack.

545
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 2: They only have five losses on the year, so they

546
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: have not lost back to back games this season. So

547
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: I would anticipate, you know, a motivated group knowing what

548
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 2: is at stake for them as much as what's at

549
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: stake for the Bills.

550
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 7: So and.

551
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 2: We also know that the Bills are going to know

552
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: exactly what is at stake by the time they take

553
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: the field. Although you heard Josh Allen say it's not

554
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 2: going to matter to them, They're gonna and I understand why,

555
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: because the number two seed is a far more valuable

556
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: thing to have in your pocket than a six or

557
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: a seven seed, even if things break the right way

558
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: on Saturday and Sunday before you play, namely meaning that

559
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 2: you need Pittsburgh or Jacksonville to lose a game this weekend.

560
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 2: But let's go to the phones at eight oh three

561
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: zero five point fifty one eight eight five fifty two

562
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 2: five fifty and leading us off today is Mark in

563
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 2: West Seneca.

564
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Mark? You're on One

565
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: Bill's Live.

566
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 16: Hey, good afternoon, guys.

567
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 7: Uh.

568
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 16: In answer to your question, the word that comes to

569
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 16: my mind is scary and not for the obvious reasons

570
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 16: of toua in their offense. In the history of the Bills,

571
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 16: going against the teams that have had backup back ends

572
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 16: that are beat up on the defense, I can sort

573
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 16: of remember games where we expected them to just take

574
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 16: tear teams apart, and we've struggled to do that against

575
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 16: backups and things of that nature. So just because they

576
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 16: have a few guys out or Xavian night play, or

577
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 16: if he does he's going to be hobbled a little

578
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 16: bit or whatever. I'm not taking any of them for granted.

579
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 16: Going up against these guys, and especially the way our

580
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 16: offense has been up and down this year. The one

581
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 16: thing I'd like to see him do is listening to

582
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 16: you guys talk earlier in the week about Miami against

583
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 16: Baltimore and how they sort of look tired on the

584
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 16: defensive line, I'd really love to see Joe Brady put

585
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 16: Josh under center quite a bit, run a lot of

586
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 16: play action pass and then get him out of the

587
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 16: out of the pocket on rollouts more often than not,

588
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 16: and make that those big guys, especially in the middle,

589
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 16: have to chase him down from the beginning of the game,

590
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 16: you know, into the third and fourth quarters, so you know,

591
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 16: make them use their legs and really tire them out

592
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 16: because you know, third quarter fourth quarter late a third

593
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 16: quarter fourth quarter, it could be you know, a real

594
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 16: advantage to the Bills if they did something like that

595
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 16: and don't let Josh be a stationary target out there.

596
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 16: And then real quickly, I wanted to ask you about

597
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 16: Tredavious and Matt. I know, with Dekwon coming back, the

598
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 16: big three injuries this year, I personally have not heard

599
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 16: a lot about any details about either one of them.

600
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 16: I'm really curious for both. Is Matt Mulono's injury so

601
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 16: severe that they don't really want to talk about it

602
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 16: a lot Because I've heard broken leg, I've heard rumblings

603
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 16: about some liliament damage possibly. I'm really hoping that there's

604
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 16: nothing really bad, even threatening his career. And the same

605
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 16: kind of thing with Tradavious. I mean, that's a major injury.

606
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 16: I haven't really heard anything about prognosis about Tradavius. Are

607
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 16: they in the building, are they working, do they have

608
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 16: a good frame of mind. I'm assuming they're both set

609
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 16: on coming back, But I mean those are big parts

610
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 16: of that the team, not only in their play, but

611
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 16: in their mindset and being leaders in the organization. So

612
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 16: I'm just curious if you guys have anything on that.

613
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 16: Have you seen those guys around or anything like that.

614
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: Thanks, no problem, Mark, we'll answer the last question first. Yes,

615
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: they both are in the building. They are rehabbing on

616
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 2: a regular basis. I see them in there almost every day,

617
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: primarily because my office is one hundred yards from the

618
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: weight training facility. I actually just spoke briefly with Tradevius today,

619
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: more about his Christmas holiday, you know, with his family.

620
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: He got home to Louisiana to do that, so more

621
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: about family life and stuff than how he's doing. But

622
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: I can tell you he's on two feet. He's walking around,

623
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: and he's deep into his rehabilitation process. Because it was

624
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 2: week four when it happened, that's like almost three months

625
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: ago now, so he's deep into his rehabilitation regimen. And

626
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 2: he's here every day working same thing with Matt Milano,

627
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: and Matt's walking around also.

628
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: You know, I can't speak.

629
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: To the exact nature of his injury because it was

630
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: never really communicated to all of us, but he's out

631
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: here walking around in the weight room as well, attacking

632
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: his rehab regimen. So hopefully all goes well for both

633
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: of those guys and their prognosis whatever it is, holds

634
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: true to form and they are able to make a

635
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 2: return next season. But it is You're right, Mark, it

636
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 2: is two very serious injuries to the same leg for

637
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: Trudevious White in the span of three years, so or

638
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: two years really if you think about it a little

639
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: bit about a year and a half. One's inn acl

640
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: and the other is an Achilles injury on the same leg.

641
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: That is a big challenge. But I'll be the last

642
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 2: person to doubt Trudevious White. As for your other stuff, Maddie,

643
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: he says, this weekend's game against the Dolphins is scary.

644
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: I kind of get it.

645
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just two weeks ago they were

646
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: going against a backup quarterback, an interim head coach, and

647
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: you're expecting them to waffle and pancake the Chargers and

648
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 2: that didn't happen. So there's it's not only past history,

649
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: it's recent evidence that you know, you're expecting them to

650
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,479
Speaker 2: annihilate an opponent it doesn't happen.

651
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm with him on the fact that, hey,

652
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 4: even if they're playing some backups in some positions that's

653
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 4: not just going to make the Dolphins fall apart. I

654
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 4: think regardless of who's in this game for Miami, it's

655
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 4: going to be a tough opponent. They're also playing for

656
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 4: a higher seed as well. Yes, they'll make it to

657
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 4: the postseason, but they also want the best seed as

658
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 4: they can possibly get once they get into the dance.

659
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 5: So yeah, I agree.

660
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 4: I was thinking about this game this morning, and it

661
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 4: already feels like the playoffs. I know our players have

662
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 4: said in the past few games, we're taking this as

663
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 4: playoff football already because we know we need to continue

664
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 4: to win games if we want to make it to

665
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 4: the postseason. Here we are in Week eighteen, and it

666
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 4: basically feels like a playoff game with as much riding

667
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 4: on this game for the Bills.

668
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was looking because the Dolphins know what

669
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: their fate is if they don't win this game. Because

670
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: the one, the three, and the five seeds for the

671
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,479
Speaker 2: AFC playoff seedings are already locked in.

672
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of a weird quirk this year with the playoffs.

673
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: It's Baltimore, Kansas City, and Cleveland are the one, the three,

674
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: and the five, So basically the Dolphins know that if

675
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: they lose this game to the Bills, they are on

676
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: the road for the first week of the playoffs at

677
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: Kansas City. And I saw a stat that I wanted

678
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: to check, basically Miami's road playoff record, and it is awful.

679
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 2: Here it is Miami has a one and eleven win

680
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 2: loss record in road playoff games over the last fifty seasons.

681
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: That is not a.

682
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: Good history on the road in the playoffs. So you

683
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 2: better believe that they're going to be bringing it on

684
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 2: Sunday Night against the Bills because they know their history

685
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: is poor on the road, not only over the past

686
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: fifty seasons, but this season it hasn't been good either.

687
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 2: Hundred team on the road, and now you're gonna throw

688
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: them in a playoff environment and narrowhead against the defending

689
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: Super Bowl champs. If they lose, I could see them saying, yeah,

690
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 2: thank you no. So I think they're gonna bring their

691
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: best on Sunday Night as well, even if they are

692
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: shorthanded due to injury. Gotta take a break here when

719
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 17: But the thing about let's say is is mandatory. That's

720
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 17: gonna be the word. I'm going to use mandatory, uh

721
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 17: to fill that poot of that blank spot because this

722
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 17: is we We We play all year for this basically,

723
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 17: and yeah, we had a few hiccups down the way

724
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 17: and now it's time that we got our dust pan

725
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 17: and I boomed up and we cleaned up the floors

726
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 17: and now it's game time. This is like our mini

727
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 17: super Bowl. Bottom line, there's no hesitation, it's nothing else.

728
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 17: And the reason my call is not called is about

729
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 17: really to Joe Brady, mister Brady, I hope you're listening,

730
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 17: and I love you Joe. And long time ago, Christy

731
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 17: he was there, Christy Steven there. Steve ask me, well,

732
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 17: what if we fire Ken Dorris is, who can we hire?

733
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 17: I said Joe Brady. So, Joe, this is what I

734
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 17: want to say. When your first game you played, you

735
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 17: allow job shouting to get into a rhythm. He let

736
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 17: him go a little no huddle, let him call his play.

737
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 17: He was calling Lebron, James Taylor, swop. He was calling

738
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 17: different things that he's see, we got into a rhythm.

739
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 17: We started putting up point and then the following a

740
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 17: game you start implementing a little bit more play. So

741
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 17: I'm going to say to you is go back to

742
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 17: the base. Keep the ice cream, vanilla's cut of chocolate

743
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 17: and strawberry. Keep it simple. Let him spread them out.

744
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 17: Let's go to the eleven package a little more. Let

745
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 17: him spread it out. Get into a rhythm. Keep that twelve,

746
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 17: keep their defense on the field of more, have them

747
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 17: go left or right, and then bang them up the

748
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 17: middle with draw plays. That's my thing. I just want

749
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 17: I don't want Joe to overthink this thing like he

750
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 17: has to be the superstar coordinator and because he's hearing

751
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 17: his name and the lights now, no, no, no, get

752
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 17: back to what he was doing when you first got

753
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 17: the gigs, and let's keep it going like this. This

754
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 17: game right here again, Chris and Maddie, it's mandr Tory.

755
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 17: We have to have this game to get the number two.

756
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 17: Because we get the number two and get that home field,

757
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 17: I mean, get that, get those two home games. It's

758
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 17: gonna be a problem for a lot of teams in

759
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 17: the NFL. But I love you guys. Man, thank you

760
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 17: so much for taking my call. And Chris, when you're

761
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 17: looking in the mirror, all remember men you're looking at Maddie.

762
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 17: I love you.

763
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 11: Man.

764
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what that means. H Okay, thanks butch.

765
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, mandatory, right, And it could be depending on how

766
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 2: Saturday night and early Sunday games go, with Jacksonville at

767
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: Tennessee and Pittsburgh at Baltimore, where they'll undoubtedly be sitting starters.

768
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 2: In Baltimore, they've got the top seed locked up. Why

769
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: expose anyone to possible injury? So you know, Pittsburgh's gonna

770
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 2: be loaded for bear. And is Baltimore putting up much

771
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 2: of a fight?

772
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that they are.

773
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 2: And what is Tennessee going to bring to the table,

774
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: We'll have to see. Hard to say because their season

775
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: is essentially done too. They're probably thinking about vacation plans,

776
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 2: cleaning out their lockers. So yeah, it could very well

777
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: be mandatory by the time we get to Sunday night

778
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: and we all know what's on the line.

779
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 5: So yeah.

780
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 4: And Sean McDermott said too, when he was asked, you know,

781
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 4: are you going to watch any of the games ahead

782
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 4: of the Bills game, since it's on Sunday night football,

783
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 4: you'll have all day. Are you going to turn on

784
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 4: the tv? He told media, No, because we know the

785
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 4: task at hand for us.

786
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, vanilla game plan, chocolate or strawberry

787
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 2: game plan to Butcher's description, you know, I think there

788
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: where Joe Brady starts every week is with the matchups.

789
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 2: Brian David used to do the same thing. Find the

790
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 2: most advantageous matchup, try to exploit that, work some other

791
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 2: things off of that, and you know, take your game

792
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 2: plan from there. Hopefully they can find some favorable matchups,

793
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 2: especially with as injury riddled as the Dolphins are right now.

794
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 2: Josh brought up an interesting point though, you know, he's wondering,

795
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 2: with some of the shorthanded nature of their roster, do

796
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 2: they get more aggressive rather than more passive and conservative.

797
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 2: That's that's the real thing that'll be interesting to keep

798
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: an eye on.

799
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: In the early going of the game, we go to

800
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: Jeff in Buffalo.

801
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 3: Next.

802
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: What do you got Jeff?

803
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 18: Hi, y'all wish you a happy New Year? Yeo, And

804
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 18: I just wanted to I didn't want to answer your

805
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 18: question there, but I just did want to bring out

806
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 18: pudos I wanted to say pudos to somebody who has

807
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 18: never been mentioned. Sam Martin has been instrumental in these

808
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 18: last few games and burying teams inside the ten yard line,

809
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 18: and I think he's probably been practically the MVP of

810
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 18: the team over the last few games. So I just

811
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 18: wanted to mention his name. Get it out there, and Sam,

812
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 18: if you're watching, kudos to you. That's it, Thank.

813
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 2: You, Thanks Jeff. He has been mentioned on this show.

814
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 2: He was mentioned on Monday. Maybe we weren't listening because

815
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: you had the day off, you know, New Year's Day.

816
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: In case you didn't know, we have a seven time

817
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl special teamer usually on this show, so special

818
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 2: teams actually gets a lot of notoriety around here, and

819
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 2: we noted it specifically the last two games when the

820
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: offense has sputtered early, Sam Martin has been instrumental in

821
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: flipping the field and giving the defense long fields to defend,

822
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 2: which is to their advantage as we know. So yeah,

823
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 2: he's been doing it. Special teams play overall has been

824
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 2: uneven this season, but they seem to be at least

825
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: pulling it together in the kicking game. I think we

826
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: can argue that coverage is still in need of some work,

827
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 2: especially after giving up a ninety eight yarder last week

828
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: for a touchdown.

829
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,479
Speaker 1: But yeah, Martin's been great the last two.

830
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 4: And like I said when I was on the show

831
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 4: on Monday for the Maddie segment, that is a cheat code.

832
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 4: And you want as many cheat codes as you can

833
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 4: get in this game against the Dolphins, knowing that you're

834
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 4: playing for the number two seed. So if Sam Martin

835
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 4: can continue to flip the field and make it harder

836
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 4: on the Dolphins to have to move down and get

837
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 4: within the red zone, that is a cheat code.

838
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 5: I want the cheat codes.

839
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, keep it coming to Ken in Buffalo next. What

840
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: do you got Ken?

841
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 13: Hey, we have to know how's anybody doing that?

842
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: Good?

843
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, thanks for taking my call so you can hear me.

844
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: We got you.

845
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 13: But great call, Chris Brown. I really like the enthusiasm

846
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 13: and energy that you bring with the game day calls.

847
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 13: A lot of excitement. Well that's pretty cool. Keep up

848
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 13: the diligence and great work.

849
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 7: I want to make a.

850
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 13: Couple of hobsitive invasions as it relates to the team

851
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 13: in that positioning. It's kind of amazing to think, you know,

852
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 13: a few weeks ago they were at six and six,

853
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 13: and there was this prevailing segiment that they didn't make

854
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 13: the playoffs. This team, as we know, where the pass

855
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 13: the broken up all intents and purposes. Real questions about

856
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 13: whether or not the DEMMO was the the close to

857
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 13: get the Bills to the next level, et cetera. To

858
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 13: the seasons for the season. The positioned themselves at this

859
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 13: point to be on the tusk of not just be

860
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 13: claiming their status as as He's champions, but having the

861
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 13: opportunity to defend their their division clown and then to

862
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 13: win it again would be particularly powerful, to say the least.

863
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 13: But I want to address some glaring red flash and

864
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 13: they go to the office what we've been seeing, how

865
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 13: the officers struggled. Seam mcgreermer was asked recently about the

866
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 13: Office of struggles and his unquote that's attributed to him

867
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 13: and that quote, if I knew, we would have fixed

868
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 13: it by now unquote. And so I find that very

869
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 13: interesting in compelling when you consider that the challenge that

870
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 13: we have is that we can't beat Man coverage, and

871
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 13: it's not so perplexing to me. But this, on the

872
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 13: other hand, I agree with the previous call that that

873
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 13: Brady has to get more creative. One of the things

874
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 13: I was climbing for watching the struggle against the Patriots

875
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 13: was that we weren't using more a bunch formations, which

876
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 13: was pompted the defenders to think a little more when

877
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 13: these type formations. Sure enough, the biggest passplay that John

878
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 13: hid was the fifty one yard of King K and

879
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 13: it was a bunch of them. We need more bunch formations,

880
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 13: more stack formations. So when those defenders, when a crowded

881
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 13: line of the scilmings to get right up on our offensive

882
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 13: plans our receivers, they have to think a little more.

883
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 13: The other thing is that we need to do more

884
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 13: motions and get digs in the slot. We know that

885
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 13: Andre Reed made his residence Hall of Fame resume from

886
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 13: the slot. Why because the nickelback who was the less

887
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 13: you know, talented of the defensive actions generally I have

888
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 13: to pick him up. And if we take a similar approach,

889
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 13: it can get digs, more action inside and downfields. I

890
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 13: just want to pause. I think huge number and the team,

891
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 13: I can say, an opportunity to chime in on those

892
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 13: points of view and thanks again for taking my car.

893
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Ken, Yeah, we mentioned on the show yesterday. You know,

894
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 2: if you're having trouble getting separation as a receiving corps,

895
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 2: your coordinator has to scheme ways to facilitate separation. And

896
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 2: to your point, it can come in bunch formations where

897
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 2: sometimes the communication and the lines can get crossed on

898
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 2: the deep defensive side and somebody comes open. Rub routes

899
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 2: are another way to do that. And you also mentioned stack,

900
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 2: which is something I talked about yesterday. Just stacking two

901
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 2: players at the line of scrimmage. You don't know who's

902
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 2: going what way, and the two guys in coverage are

903
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 2: responsible for communicating that to one another, and sometimes their

904
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 2: lines get crossed on that also. And yes, motion to

905
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 2: your point's a good idea. Also, Bills eleventh in the

906
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: league in using pre snat motion almost sixty percent of

907
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: the time. The Dolphins use it more than anybody number

908
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 2: one in the league at seventy eight and a half percent.

909
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: And the Dolphins, to their credit, use a lot of

910
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 2: bunch formations also along with misdirection, and you have to

911
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 2: respect their speed so much that there's a lot of

912
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 2: eye candy there.

913
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: Bills could go a long way and use in some

914
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: of their own I can.

915
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, And to the point earlier about how aggressive is

916
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 4: Miami going to be on defense? You wonder if they

917
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 4: do decide to be more aggressive and blitz more than

918
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 4: they have, which right now they rank fourth lowest in

919
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 4: the NFL and blitz rate, if they decide to up that,

920
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 4: you wonder, Okay, is Josh going to be going to

921
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 4: some of the more quicker routes, the guys who are

922
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 4: kind of right in front of him, just a couple

923
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 4: of yards down the field to get the ball out

924
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 4: quicker as well?

925
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and those guys, to their credit, have to know

926
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 2: when they are the hot receivers.

927
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 1: My guy blitzing, so that makes me hot.

928
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 2: I got to sit down, so I'm an outlet for

929
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 2: Josh to get rid of the ball. Break time here

930
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 2: more of your calls when we come back here on

931
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live.

932
00:45:19,520 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: Stay tuned these One Bills Live presented by Callida Health.

933
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: All right, here we are our number two on a Wednesday.

934
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Maddy lab with you, and happy to be

935
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 2: joined now by the guy who's going to be calling

936
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: the game on NBC on Sunday Night Football, the last

937
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 2: game of the regular season. Number two seventy two. It

938
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: is our good friend Mike Carrico, now in his eighteenth

939
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 2: season calling NFL games, and Mike, not the first time

940
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 2: you're calling a Bills game. I think this is number

941
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: four this season, right.

942
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 7: I think it's Bills for Dolphins three, which makes me

943
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 7: really happy. Yeah.

944
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: Easy, easy for you.

945
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a much easier week. And then you wait

946
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 7: to find out Sunday night what playoff game will have,

947
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 7: and then you just go, Okay, is it a brand

948
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 7: new team and you're starting from scratch. But it helps

949
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 7: us because you kind of know the matchups and it

950
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 7: always helps me. It's a division game too, and you've

951
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 7: had one played already, although it was so early in

952
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 7: the season. You still like to see the teams go

953
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 7: head to head and concepts against concepts, and this is

954
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 7: going to be great. Look, this is for the division title.

955
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 7: It's been so long for Miami and Buffalo fans don't

956
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 7: have to think back too long to know what that

957
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 7: feeling is like. So this has all the ingredients you

958
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 7: would want for a game of this magnitude and could

959
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 7: be more depending what happens with Pittsburgh and Jacksonville earlier

960
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 7: in the weekend.

961
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Week four game against the Miami Dolphins feels

962
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 4: like it was forever ago at this point, and I

963
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 4: you know, forty eight to twenty, big victory by the

964
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills, But don't count Miami out because they're eleven

965
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 4: and five at this point in the season and haven't

966
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 4: had back to back losses yet this year. So when

967
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 4: you start to look at this matchup, and of course

968
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 4: you're starting to study and get ready for this, what

969
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 4: are some of the biggest storylines that stick out to

970
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 4: you right now?

971
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 7: Well, it's a little bit of that, Maddie too. It's

972
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 7: the evolution for both teams, right and you think about

973
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 7: where the Bills offense was and they're hitting stride and

974
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 7: Kenny Dorsey's calling plays and now it's Joe Brady and

975
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 7: the offense is a different look and feel to it.

976
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 7: Vic Fangio's defense is early on in the process and

977
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 7: the Miami players are talking about learning that defense, and

978
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 7: now they start rolling here mid season, late in the season.

979
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 7: But then they lose Jordan Phillips, one of their edge players,

980
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 7: and then they lose Bradley Chubb last week, and now

981
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 7: they're down in the secondary as well with players, so

982
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 7: while there may be the knowledge of the system and

983
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 7: it's in place, some of the biggest names there are

984
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 7: not there, and so that's I think one of the

985
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 7: big things you notice when you go back at Week four,

986
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 7: and that happens so often when teams play early, then

987
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 7: they play late. And I love that the division favorites

988
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 7: if you will go into this year played early in

989
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 7: the season and late in the season. I think he

990
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 7: gives it a balance. I don't like this setup where

991
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 7: we have sometimes you play a division opponents twice in

992
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 7: three weeks, Detroit Minnesota doing that. The Jets of Miami

993
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 7: were a couple of times in a three or four

994
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 7: week space. I don't like that. I like when it's

995
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 7: spread out, you play one of matchups early in the

996
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 7: season and you finished with one of these teams at

997
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 7: the back end, like we have on Sunday night.

998
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 2: And to your point, Mike, concerning the shorthanded nature of

999
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 2: this Dolphins defense, it was interesting. We just heard from

1000
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 2: Josh Allen about an hour ago in his weekly press

1001
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 2: conference with the media, and he is supremely curious as

1002
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 2: to whether Vic Fangio is going to go the conservative

1003
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 2: route and just try to keep everything in front of them,

1004
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 2: kind of the drop eight rush three approach, maybe with

1005
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 2: a spy, or if Vic Fangio is going to break

1006
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: philosophy a little bit and get more aggressive. Knowing the

1007
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 2: dire nature in the stakes involved in this football game,

1008
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 2: it's going to have to be a wait and see

1009
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 2: for that Bill's offense going into this and the first.

1010
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 7: Quarter is a feeling out process, right, You just kind

1011
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 7: of see what are they presenting, how are the Bills

1012
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 7: attacking it? If it's if it's drop eight rush three,

1013
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 7: you know, this Buffalo team has much more of an

1014
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 7: ability to run the ball and be a run first

1015
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 7: team than maybe it did earlier in the year. There

1016
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 7: was a kind of a there was almost like a

1017
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 7: fast break, free flowing type field to this Bill's offense

1018
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 7: over the last couple of years, and a little bit

1019
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 7: of flag football, street yard ball wherever you think it is, right.

1020
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 7: But I feel like there's a physicality that has developed

1021
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 7: late in seasons with the Bills, and I feel like

1022
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 7: that's happened again this year where he wants to hand

1023
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 7: off the ball thirty times. We can go do that

1024
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 7: and be very effective with different backs doing different things,

1025
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 7: And especially because Josh is so dang good at doing

1026
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 7: it right. So I think this team can put on

1027
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 7: you know, put on your your going out Friday night

1028
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 7: party close. It can put on a formal tux and

1029
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 7: can put on a flattel and just go knock heads

1030
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 7: with people. I think they've got the full ward there

1031
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 7: at their disposal. The question is what does Miami do

1032
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 7: and are you trying to match what the defense is

1033
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 7: doing or you trying to dictate what you do? That's

1034
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 7: the fun chess game. I think we're gonna see Chris

1035
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 7: play out once that first quarter.

1036
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: I love the flannel description because Mitch Morris literally wears flannel,

1037
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 2: as does Spencer Brown all the time.

1038
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, they to New.

1039
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 7: York and there's a Western New York perfect fit. Especially

1040
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 7: this time of year. You gonna have at least one

1041
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,320
Speaker 7: final or two or a full closet of them. Yeah,

1042
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 7: to call on right.

1043
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 4: When it comes to deciding what this offense wants to do,

1044
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 4: if they want to dictate or kind of play to

1045
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 4: the chess pieces that they have and see what Miami's

1046
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 4: gonna put out there and then decide here's what we're

1047
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 4: gonna do. The last couple of games have been interesting

1048
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,959
Speaker 4: for this offense because they've been able to not get

1049
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 4: in the swing of things early on, but they've been

1050
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 4: able to close things out when the game has been closed,

1051
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 4: which you haven't. We didn't see that team. We didn't

1052
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 4: see the Bills do that earlier on in the season.

1053
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 4: They were losing those one score games. Now Buffalo is

1054
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 4: finding a way to kind of grind out a win

1055
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 4: at the end, even if it's not pretty. How do

1056
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 4: you think the Bills can get back to some of

1057
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 4: those fast starts that would ultimately put them in a

1058
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 4: good position against the team that has Tyreek Hill and

1059
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 4: can score very quickly.

1060
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 7: Right, and that's what it becomes. Does this become a

1061
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 7: game where you have to start matching Miami because Miami's

1062
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 7: offense is on a roll and you have to play

1063
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 7: complimentary football, which I think Buffalo has the team to do,

1064
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 7: which is a little bit different than some other teams

1065
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 7: because you have not just Stefan Diggs, but you have

1066
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 7: Gave Davis as well. You have two healthy tight ends. Now,

1067
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 7: you have Shakir work in the inside. You have the

1068
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 7: ability to get into empty sets and throw the ball

1069
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 7: and get down the field quickly. Now, if the defense

1070
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 7: is setting a tone as they have the last few games,

1071
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 7: and Daikwon Jones coming back was big last week and

1072
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 7: getting the safeties back on the field. We just talked

1073
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 7: to Rasulle Douglas and he was effusive in how comfortable

1074
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 7: the high player combination makes it for him, as a

1075
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 7: guy who hasn't been in the defense for a long

1076
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 7: time to learn how to play it and be effective

1077
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 7: in it. So if the defense is keeping Miami in check,

1078
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 7: then you get into one of those games where you

1079
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 7: don't have to be as turnover prone or as reckless

1080
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 7: or as aggressive whatever term you want to use. When

1081
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 7: you put the ball up against good people, there's a

1082
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 7: chance they can get in the way and make a turnover.

1083
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 7: We saw that throughout the season. So I like what

1084
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 7: Buffalo has his options now, and I love the way

1085
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 7: Josh is kind of orchestrating all of it, the ability

1086
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 7: to do it. I do think when we look at

1087
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 7: this game that Miami offense may dictate some of what

1088
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,280
Speaker 7: is going to play out. Do they get hot early

1089
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 7: on in the game, you know they're going to be

1090
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 7: really itching to do that and get Hill and Waddle going.

1091
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 7: Those are two of the fastest guys in the league.

1092
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 7: And when they are together and they're on the field

1093
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,720
Speaker 7: with most dirt and a chan they stress a defense

1094
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,760
Speaker 7: almost more than any other team in terms of speed

1095
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 7: and verticality. So how effective are they to be and

1096
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 7: will they have those guys back at full speed? That

1097
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 7: to me is going to dictate a little bit of

1098
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 7: how this game plays out. Is it a shootout game

1099
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 7: or is it, like you said, Maddie, one of those

1100
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 7: tight games that the Bils Wing Good had closed out

1101
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:11,760
Speaker 7: the last.

1102
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 2: Couple of weeks, right, And that is a big decision

1103
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 2: for Mike McDaniel this week, Mike, because the Dolphins are

1104
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 2: already in the playoff conversation. They've already they know they're

1105
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 2: going to the postseason. Certainly they'd rather have the division

1106
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,360
Speaker 2: title and a couple of home playoff games for themselves,

1107
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 2: and there's no debate about that, and McDaniel has said,

1108
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,760
Speaker 2: we are playing for the division. But with that in mind,

1109
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: I think there's got to be a little piece of

1110
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 2: the back of his mind that says, well, do I

1111
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 2: really want to push Waddle on the field if he's

1112
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 2: really iffy, run the risk of him aggravating it again,

1113
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 2: and then I don't have him for the next round

1114
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 2: or the first round of the playoffs. Moster could potentially

1115
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 2: be in the same boat. Do you want to wait

1116
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 2: another week on getting Jerome Baker back off? Ir he

1117
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 2: opened his practice window today. I mean he's got some

1118
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 2: important pieces where Yeah, you'd love to have him for

1119
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 2: this game and improve your PLA seating, but you also

1120
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 2: could run the risk of not having them for the postseason.

1121
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1122
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 7: So what's the meter with that, Chris? Is it like, yeah,

1123
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 7: I've got one hundred percent. I need to play everybody

1124
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 7: if they're physically available, or can I save a guy

1125
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 7: or two? And I'm going to say that they're like

1126
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 7: eighty percent. They've got to play people because I think

1127
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 7: the division is very important for these guys. I really do,

1128
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 7: because they could look at losing the game and just

1129
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 7: get on the plane and come to Orchard Park next

1130
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 7: week as a sixth seed, right, And do you think

1131
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 7: they want to do that? I mean, you look at

1132
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 7: look at the weather. We all love to look at

1133
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 7: the weather this time of year, especially in the northern

1134
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,959
Speaker 7: part of the country. And do you think Miami wants

1135
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 7: to take the speed of Tyreeq and Waddle and Moster

1136
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 7: and a Chan and come on, up and play in

1137
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 7: twenty something degrees with snow blowing off the lake, which

1138
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 7: is a good chance for next weekend, not at all.

1139
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 7: So I think it's really important for them to get

1140
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 7: that two seed, to be the home team, to not

1141
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 7: have to go to Baltimore and Buffalo in Kansas City.

1142
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 7: Look these teams, Buffalo, Miami, Kansas City, Cleveland. I'm gonna

1143
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 7: include in there and Buffalo, and that's no slight to

1144
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 7: the AFC South eventual champion, whoever that's gonna be, And

1145
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 7: no slight to the seventh seed if it's Pittsburgh or

1146
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 7: India or Houston. Those five teams I talked about there

1147
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 7: with Cleveland and Buffalo and the other division leaders. At

1148
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 7: the moment, those teams can win anywhere. But I think

1149
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 7: of all of them, what they do as their DNA,

1150
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 7: it's harder for Miami to travel into Cleveland or Baltimore

1151
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,959
Speaker 7: if it's cold, or certainly Buffalo if it's a slower track.

1152
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 7: So I think it's a long way of saying, this

1153
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 7: is an important game. If guys can play, they need

1154
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 7: to play, and I think winning a division title for

1155
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 7: Miami would be very important. The way this season has

1156
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 7: gone to not be three up with what five to

1157
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 7: go and watch the Bills run the table and take

1158
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 7: the division and keep the mantle of the best team

1159
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 7: in this division.

1160
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 4: When you look back at Buffalo season, is it wild

1161
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 4: to think that? And recall back to win this team

1162
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 4: was six and six and people are wondering, is this

1163
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 4: team going to be playoff bound this year? Can they

1164
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 4: fix the things that they needed to fix to put

1165
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 4: themselves in a position where they could get into the dance?

1166
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 5: And here they are, and they've done that.

1167
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 4: In this game is a winning in for them, it's

1168
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 4: a winning a two seed, and they're focused on the

1169
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 4: task at hand because if this game goes by the wayside,

1170
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 4: there's a chance that they're not in the playoffs. But

1171
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 4: they've done what they needed to do and won the

1172
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 4: last four to be able to put themselves in the

1173
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 4: driver's seat in that regard? Is it kind of crazy

1174
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 4: to think back to where they were at in the

1175
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 4: middle of the season here.

1176
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, Maddie, and not even that at the beginning of

1177
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 7: the season. Just a little bit of my behind the

1178
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 7: scenes during the week. I'll start the week by let

1179
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 7: me just review the season right right from the start,

1180
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 7: and I'm thinking my gosh, is Xavier Gibson punt return

1181
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 7: by the Jets feels like three lifetimes ago? Right. It

1182
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 7: just feels like everything has been such a headline story

1183
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 7: with the Bills this year and going all the way through,

1184
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 7: and you think about that loss, You think about the

1185
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 7: Philadelphia loss, the Jake Elliott field goal to get the

1186
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 7: game to overtime, those two overtime losses, like if the

1187
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 7: Bill we in our business and Chris knows this. As

1188
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 7: you do games, you have to scenario plan. So part

1189
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 7: of my week is scenario planning. If the Bills lose

1190
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 7: and they don't make the playoffs, what are you looking

1191
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 7: back at? Well, think about the number of close calls

1192
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 7: here in this season, and you start thinking about that.

1193
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 7: But on the other side of scenario planning, as you

1194
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 7: go to the bye week and then run through the

1195
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 7: rest of the games, look what this team is done with.

1196
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 7: And as I was mentioning the games, I didn't mention

1197
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 7: the overtime loss at the end of the game, loss

1198
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 7: at home on the Monday night as well, you start

1199
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 7: thinking about what this team has done from a really

1200
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 7: bad feeling place after the Denver loss and built a

1201
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 7: really confident, solid group that has morphed significantly from where

1202
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 7: it was at the start of year. Every season feels long,

1203
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 7: I think for the Bills. The last two regular seasons

1204
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 7: have felt like epics, really long, so eventful in so

1205
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 7: many turns. But some of that comes with being a team.

1206
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 7: Everybody watches a team on a big stage and playing

1207
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 7: important games every week. When you look at one of

1208
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 7: the hallmarks of this team, they have closed the season

1209
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 7: strong over the last couple of years, very well. And

1210
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 7: I think that fuel and that understanding is what propelled

1211
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 7: them to this spot. And it's why I don't know

1212
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 7: anybody who would bet against the Bills this week. This

1213
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 7: team seems built for these situations because we've seen them

1214
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 7: in these spots and thrive in these spots.

1215
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 2: Mike, thanks for the time. As always, we look forward

1216
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 2: to your call on Sunday night. We'll see you down

1217
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 2: there in South Florida.

1218
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 7: You look at you pretending like people are gonna be

1219
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 7: listening to me, not to you.

1220
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: Come on, get out of here. You're too kind. I

1221
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: love it when you lie right on the air.

1222
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 2: That's great.

1223
00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 7: Right back at you. Well, we look forward to see

1224
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 7: you as in South Florida. Happy New Year. Whos maybe

1225
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 7: we'll it'll be up there at Orchard Park next week

1226
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 7: for a playoff game.

1227
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 2: Well, we'll take it. We'll put a dollar down on

1228
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 2: that right now. Thanks, Mike, appreciate it as always.

1229
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: See all all right, that's Mike Tarico joining us.

1230
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 2: He'll have to call on NBC for Sunday Night Football,

1231
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Bill's Dolphins, and he was mentioning it to us before

1232
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 2: we jumped on the air. Here, Maddie, there is some

1233
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 2: rain in the forecast during the course of Sunday. When

1234
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 2: it comes is still a little sketchy right now. I'm

1235
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 2: sure that'll come into focus as we get about two

1236
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 2: or three days out as to when and if rain

1237
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 2: will arrive. Specifically in I believe the exact city is

1238
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 2: Miami Gardens, where the stadium is, because much like the

1239
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 2: snow is very localized here in Western New York, depending

1240
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 2: on where the snow band sets up, the rain can

1241
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 2: be very localized there as well, being being a peninsula

1242
01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 2: at all. So yeah, I would prefer that whether not

1243
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 2: be a part of it, quite frankly, because I want

1244
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 2: to see these two teams on a on a fair

1245
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 2: track and let the players, you know, decide it.

1246
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: Hopefully, not the officials.

1247
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 2: Let the players decide the game, you know, more than

1248
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 2: anything else, because as we remember, the last time, the

1249
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 2: heat had a lot in determining how the game turned out,

1250
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 2: all the way back in Week three of the twenty

1251
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 2: twenty two season.

1252
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: That and the clock.

1253
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 2: We do have some Dolphins updates we want to pass

1254
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 2: along before we get back to the phones.

1255
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: We will do that in short order.

1256
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 2: But Dolphins reporters on social are reporting the following wide

1257
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 2: receiver Jalen Wattle seen with his teammates during indoor stretching,

1258
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 2: but didn't join them for practice outside, and that was

1259
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 2: a walk through much like the Bills had today. Waddle

1260
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 2: is working inside with the training staff on his high

1261
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 2: ankle spring. Meanwhile, not seen during the open portion of

1262
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 2: Dolphins practice today, And again we're reminding you just to

1263
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 2: walk through. Raheem Mostert who missed last week's game, Taran

1264
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 2: Armstead who did play last week, Xavian Howard who has

1265
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,919
Speaker 2: a foot injury, Devon a Chan who played last week,

1266
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 2: and Zach Seeler, their defensive tackle who starts right alongside

1267
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 2: Christian Wilkins. So the Wednesday injury report for the Dolphins

1268
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 2: is going to be even more interesting than we anticipated,

1269
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 2: something I am.

1270
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Eager to see very very soon.

1271
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 2: So we'll keep you updated if, in fact, that injury

1272
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 2: report comes out before Maddy and I are off the air.

1273
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,919
Speaker 2: In the meantime, we ask you to continue to fill

1274
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 2: in the blank for us. This weekend's game against the

1275
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 2: Dolphins is blank. Tell us what it means or what

1276
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 2: you're feeling, and what adjective you'd put in there and

1277
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 2: let us know. We go to Robert in Tanawanda next,

1278
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 2: who's been waiting patiently?

1279
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 11: What you got Robert?

1280
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 10: Hello, Maddy, Hello Brownie, Happy New.

1281
01:02:59,000 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Year, Yes to you too.

1282
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 10: I would just like to say that the game this

1283
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 10: weekend is going to be their springboard into the playoffs

1284
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 10: and to the super Bowl. I firmly believed since the

1285
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 10: beginning this year that this is their time. As the

1286
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 10: Goony say, it is their density. I also wanted to

1287
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 10: share I wrote this last year after the Vikings game

1288
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 10: when the Bills lost and I thought Josh needed our support.

1289
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 10: Could I read this poem for you?

1290
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:32,439
Speaker 11: Sure?

1291
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: As long as it doesn't go five minutes?

1292
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 7: Is it?

1293
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: Is it relatively brief in length? Okay?

1294
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 10: Good to our quarterback, Josh Allen. We are one and

1295
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 10: one are we, and together we are us for you,

1296
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 10: for me, and together we are we. We follow you

1297
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 10: as one and one we shall be. The quarterback is

1298
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 10: us and we are he. This is how we are

1299
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 10: and will always be. To victory to tail, we still

1300
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 10: are one. Until the top of the hill. We shall

1301
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,479
Speaker 10: be as one forever as you can see.

1302
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: All right, very well, said Roberts.

1303
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 10: Give him some inspiration.

1304
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 11: We'll take it.

1305
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: Thank you, Robert. Go Bills. Appreciate the phone call. He's

1306
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: a regular keats there with the poetry.

1307
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 4: I love it.

1308
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 5: I'm not that creative. Oh josh, that's what I got.

1309
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: Oh you're killing me man. Yeah, good job, Robert.

1310
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1311
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 1: And I think you're right.

1312
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 2: And it's interesting because when we were just talking to

1313
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 2: Mike Tarico was calling the game on Sunday night, and

1314
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 2: he was talking about how this season has felt like

1315
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 2: an eternity. I still remember when we were poring over

1316
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 2: the schedule when it first came out in May, and

1317
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 2: I think we did toss around the possibility that Week

1318
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 2: eighteen could very well be for the division, and that

1319
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 2: was just you know, we're just throwing it out there,

1320
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 2: like wow, you know, maybe it's an important game to

1321
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 2: determine the division and like lo and behold, here we are,

1322
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 2: and that's exactly what it is.

1323
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 5: For Oh yeah, exactly yeah.

1324
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 4: I remember looking at it and saying, like kind of chuckling,

1325
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 4: looking what the NFL schedule makers did. They know exactly

1326
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 4: what they're doing with this one. Well, they knew exactly

1327
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 4: what they were doing, because Week eighteen comes down to

1328
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 4: it all. It comes down to the AFC East, which

1329
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 4: I think for NFL fans as a whole, I mean

1330
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 4: that these two teams have been a lot of fun

1331
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 4: to watch. These two teams have been in the line light.

1332
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 4: These two teams have played in primetime. These two teams

1333
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 4: have big time players, have stars, and people have followed

1334
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 4: Patriots and Jets. The Jets started off super high and

1335
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 4: then their season kind of fell apart with the Aaron

1336
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 4: Rodgers injury and a lot of other things that followed,

1337
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 4: and the Patriots are trying to figure out who they

1338
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 4: are going to be long term in the future. But

1339
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 4: the Dolphins and the Bills have remained strong over the

1340
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 4: last couple of seasons. The Dolphins, especially being a newer team,

1341
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 4: kind of to put things together in figure out their

1342
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 4: identity with the pieces that they've been able to attain

1343
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 4: and with Mike McDaniel, And do you believe that this

1344
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 4: is back to what it was this rivalry? Do you

1345
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 4: think it's having shades of that early on?

1346
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: I think it's got the potential to be that.

1347
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm kind of of My only argument is Miami's got

1348
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 2: to win a few more of these to make it

1349
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 2: a real rivalry.

1350
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: To really kind of.

1351
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 2: I am certain that Dolphins fans have an intense bitterness

1352
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 2: for the Bills because they've won ten to the last twelve.

1353
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, between these two teams.

1354
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 2: So I am confident that the bitterness exists down there

1355
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 2: much the way it did here for us against the Patriots.

1356
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 2: I mean, my son's ten years old and he has

1357
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 2: a dartboard with Tom Brady's face on it at age ten.

1358
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 2: I mean that's just an indication as to the bitterness

1359
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 2: because it was so lopsided. It felt like a rivalry

1360
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 2: for Bills fans, but the Patriots are like, yeah, you're

1361
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 2: not important, Like that's not a rivalry. I'm not saying

1362
01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 2: that about the Dolphins. I think the Dolphins do have

1363
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 2: a very football team, but I think to get true

1364
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 2: rivalry status where there is bitterness on both sides. The

1365
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 2: Dolphins got to kind of even the one lost column.

1366
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 11: A little bit.

1367
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 2: I don't know that they're ready to do that this week.

1368
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 2: I certainly hope they're not. But that to me is

1369
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 2: like a true rivalry, one that goes back and forth

1370
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 2: and is intense, kind of like Baltimore Pittsburgh because Baltimore

1371
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 2: would win some, Pittsburgh would win some and those people

1372
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 2: wanted to rip each other's heart out on the field.

1373
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 2: That is the intensity of a rivalry that I would

1374
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 2: kind of equate to the true meaning of the word.

1375
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 2: But in any event, we go to Mark and Jersey

1376
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 2: City next, what do you have for us?

1377
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:37,919
Speaker 1: Mark?

1378
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 19: This game means everything. That's what it means. And then

1379
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 19: like like you guys alluded to multiple times and it

1380
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 19: sounded just the tenor of the team and the way

1381
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 19: things were going. It's sounded like a pipe dream at

1382
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 19: the time going into that bye week of six and six,

1383
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 19: but it's it's reality.

1384
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 7: It's here.

1385
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 19: And you use the word for the Bills early in

1386
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 19: the season, that's pretty much true for the Dolph right now.

1387
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 19: Is trioge. You could get to a point in this game,

1388
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 19: you know, for the with the reverse maybe Tyreek limpse

1389
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 19: off and the Bills are up by two scores, they

1390
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 19: might say, you know what, screw it, we need to

1391
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 19: we can't risk anything. We we're in forget it. They

1392
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 19: could get to that point in this game, even if

1393
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 19: the Bills know that they're in. And here's an interesting

1394
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,880
Speaker 19: little stat that I have for the for the Dolphins,

1395
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 19: if you score over twenty points against them, do you

1396
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 19: know what their record is?

1397
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: I think I think they have one victory?

1398
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 17: Is that right?

1399
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 7: Two and five?

1400
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 19: If you just get over twenty. Yeah, so that's it.

1401
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 19: Get over twenty.

1402
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1403
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: Two is also two and five in his last seven

1404
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 1: prime time games.

1405
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 19: And he's you know, he's susceptible to the fumble. I mean,

1406
01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 19: everybody's quick to point out Josh's turnover problems. Oh, I

1407
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 19: have another stat you. Josh is no longer the leader

1408
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 19: in turnovers for a quarterback in the last three years.

1409
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 19: It's too it's it's Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, but there's another

1410
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 19: thing you won't hear about. But thanks for taking my call, guys,

1411
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 19: go Bill's.

1412
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: Sure thing, Mark, Thanks very much.

1413
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an interesting scenario he brings to the table there,

1414
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, if things are going the wrong

1415
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 2: way for Miami fast. You know, Tyreek gets dinged. I

1416
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 2: mean he left the game for a brief period of

1417
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 2: time again last week against the Ravens. You know, he

1418
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 2: tweaks his ankle a little bit. He's clearly not one

1419
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 2: hundred percent. He's playing his way through it, and credit

1420
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 2: to him for doing that. If Waddle can play, how

1421
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 2: long can he last? You know, coming off a high

1422
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 2: ankle sprain just two weeks ago. Same thing for Raheem Moster,

1423
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 2: who was not seen at practice today.

1424
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

1425
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 2: You know, he's I'm gonna suit it up and cut

1426
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 2: it out. All he needs is one twist of the

1427
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 2: ankle and he's like, yeah, I can't cut you know.

1428
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 1: And and where's a chan?

1429
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 2: A chan wasn't at practice, or at least wasn't seen

1430
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 2: at practice today. He played last week.

1431
01:09:59,479 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 11: If you don't have.

1432
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: Moster, you better have a chan. So it's going to

1433
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see.

1434
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 2: And the only caveat there is the biggest problem for

1435
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 2: the Bills offense the last three weeks has been getting

1436
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 2: off to a fast start, so.

1437
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 1: You want to bury them early.

1438
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 2: But they've said that each of the last couple of

1439
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 2: weeks you know, playing against a backup quarterback out in

1440
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 2: LA and an interim coach put them away early.

1441
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:22,600
Speaker 1: Set the tone. They didn't do that.

1442
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 2: They're down ten to nothing. Even against the Patriots, You're

1443
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 2: down seven to nothing first play of the game. Your

1444
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 2: offense hasn't even stepped on the field, and they go

1445
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 2: three and out and four and out on their first

1446
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 2: two possessions. The Bills can go a long way to

1447
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:38,600
Speaker 2: helping themselves convince Miami that it's not their day and

1448
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 2: they should just pack their bags and get ready to

1449
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 2: go to Kansas City next week. If they can get

1450
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 2: off to a fast start. The problem is they've had

1451
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 2: a hard time achieving that.

1452
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 4: M Yeah, and their record for away games has not

1453
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 4: been what it is for home games. This team has

1454
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 4: been so good at home this year. The Dolphins are

1455
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 4: seven in one and in their place. Does that factor

1456
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 4: into anything?

1457
01:10:58,720 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 5: I want to share.

1458
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,919
Speaker 4: Maybe when we come back from break a Tyreek hillstat

1459
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 4: that'll make Bills fans feel good.

1460
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I'll be here to listen to that. We

1461
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:11,560
Speaker 2: will keep taking your phone calls here. We also have

1462
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 2: to get to the post practice podium. Mitch Morse along

1463
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 2: with Tarren Johnson, so We'll get those two as well

1464
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 2: when we return here on one Bill's Live, presented by

1465
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 2: Colid of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Ticketmaster is the

1466
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:43,600
Speaker 2: presenting sponsor the Buffalo Bill's twenty twenty three season. Ticketmaster

1467
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 2: the official ticket marketplace of the NFL. Maddy had a

1468
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 2: wowstad for Bills fans that she thinks you're gonna like

1469
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 2: concerning one Tyreek Hill. Lay it on us, Maddie, here

1470
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 2: we go.

1471
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 5: Are you ready?

1472
01:11:56,800 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 4: So, in three games against the Bills as a Miami Dolphin,

1473
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill has averaged only fifty three receiving yards per

1474
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 4: game and scored just one touchdown. If you back it

1475
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 4: up to when he was a Kansas City Chief, those

1476
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 4: stats get even better in terms of what he averaged.

1477
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:22,759
Speaker 4: I think the number is down to under fifty receiving

1478
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 4: yards per game forty eight receiving yards per game since

1479
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen when Tyreek Hill faces the Buffalo Bills, and

1480
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:36,679
Speaker 4: also only one receiving touchdown in those games.

1481
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 2: So Chiefs uniform Dolphin's uniform combined, he only has one

1482
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 2: receiving touchdown in.

1483
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 1: The regular season.

1484
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,799
Speaker 5: In the regular season, that is correct.

1485
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,639
Speaker 2: I had a little more success in the playoffs. But yes,

1486
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 2: in the regular season they have done a good job

1487
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 2: of locking him down and did it again in Week four.

1488
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 2: I think he had only like fifty eight yards receiving

1489
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 2: in that game. I think he only had three or

1490
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 2: four receptions. Yes, we certainly hope that continues. Got to

1491
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 2: go to the post practice podium, Mitch Morris addressing the media.

1492
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,759
Speaker 20: Let's go there now, it's the last bunch of games.

1493
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 15: Is you all were six and six is what have

1494
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 15: you seen from the team and they're missing their dedication

1495
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 15: to it every week.

1496
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 12: Well, I think the word resiliency is kind of thrown

1497
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 12: around sometimes and it can go over your head because

1498
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 12: you hear it so much. It's part of coach speak

1499
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:28,560
Speaker 12: or whatever you want to proclaim it too. But the

1500
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,640
Speaker 12: thing that I think is kind of the root of

1501
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 12: that resiliency is just taking it one day at a time,

1502
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 12: focusing on each moment that it's required out of that day,

1503
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 12: and then, like I've said a thousand times, those moments

1504
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 12: compound and then you have an opportunity to celebrate those

1505
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 12: moments on Sunday. So just a team that's really not

1506
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:53,640
Speaker 12: worried about the what IF's, if if we lose this

1507
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 12: game or whatnot. So just kind of going out and

1508
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 12: just competing the best of our ability and letting the

1509
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 12: chips fall where they may know, and that we have

1510
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 12: done all we could do.

1511
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 9: Is that an indication of just well And I guess

1512
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 9: fear is sometimes a motivator, but in a good way.

1513
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 9: And when you've gotten this far, you've made it this far,

1514
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:15,640
Speaker 9: I mean the Fereau disappointment of not going that you

1515
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 9: so knowing that a out of the playoffs, if regrew

1516
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 9: which have done, would be something an opportunity lost for

1517
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 9: major opportunity, and.

1518
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 12: This league is just full of opportunities loss. Yeah, so

1519
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 12: that'd be kind of one of those things that, like

1520
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 12: I just talked about, you do such a good job

1521
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 12: of taking one moment of time and then you let

1522
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 12: one game, granted it being a big one. These last

1523
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 12: four have been big games, and we understand, like Josh

1524
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 12: had alluded to that this this game, this atmosphere is

1525
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,680
Speaker 12: going to be an electric you know, the Dolphins have

1526
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 12: played amazing football this year and they've deserved the right

1527
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:58,600
Speaker 12: to host this game and to have this opportunity to

1528
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 12: clinch the East, and we're just thankful to also still

1529
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 12: be in the hunt, knowing that we've let some opportunities

1530
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,640
Speaker 12: dwindle in the past, but we're not worrying about that.

1531
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:10,679
Speaker 11: We're just kind of worrying about what this moment entails.

1532
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 15: Bitch ash Josh about this.

1533
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 7: They know they're on the other side of the ball,

1534
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,600
Speaker 7: but being a Campaiger, so you're kind of leadership. Have

1535
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 7: you seen Geordan doing?

1536
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I missed two years here with them,

1537
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 12: but the five years I've been with them here, they've

1538
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 12: just not only been the utmost consistency, you know, the

1539
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 12: epitome of consistency in regards to their approach as football players,

1540
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 12: but how they lead their group, how they lead by example,

1541
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 12: how they're just they're they bring everyone up around them.

1542
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 12: They're you know, they got the fiddle and everyone's kind

1543
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 12: of falling right. Not the fiddle, but you know what

1544
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 12: everyone called the flute or whatever. You guys get the point.

1545
01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 12: But they do that by just being genuine guys, hard

1546
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 12: workers and dudes that you want to gravitate to because

1547
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 12: they're awesome to be around, because they're in it for

1548
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 12: the right reasons and they do it the right way,

1549
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 12: and good football seems to follow them. Different Dolphins, well,

1550
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 12: you know, you feel for guys who get injured. It's

1551
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 12: just that's that guys who cheer for that or or

1552
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 12: you know, it's just they haven't played the game and

1553
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:21,720
Speaker 12: they don't know what this does to a person or

1554
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 12: a team. And you know, I think they're still very,

1555
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 12: very sound football team. I think their interior guys really

1556
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 12: are playing at a high level and they they cause

1557
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 12: a lot of destruction in there. So for us, it'll

1558
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 12: be especially the interior of the offensive line will be

1559
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 12: matching that intensity as both those guys play with you know,

1560
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 12: competitive juice and they play very well.

1561
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 11: They're just good football players.

1562
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:47,640
Speaker 7: Would you prefer not.

1563
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 9: Going what the math going into that game because the.

1564
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 7: Math is going to be there.

1565
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, I'd say so.

1566
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 12: It's it's gonna be impossible to a louse, right, But

1567
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:05,320
Speaker 12: I don't think it's going to affect our approach to

1568
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 12: trying to win this game and be as competitive as possible.

1569
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 2: All Right, So there's Mitch laying it down about this

1570
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 2: Bill's Dolphins matchup, and.

1571
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 11: He's kind of the.

1572
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 1: Voice of reason.

1573
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 11: He is on the roster.

1574
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 2: He is the voice of reason even when stuff is

1575
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 2: hitting the fan. The guy is just like this steady

1576
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 2: Eddy person, which I think can have a stabilizing effect

1577
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 2: on the rest of the locker room. Veteran player seen

1578
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 2: a lot, been through a lot. When he stands up

1579
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:40,679
Speaker 2: and says, guys, this is not a big deal.

1580
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:41,639
Speaker 1: We'll get it fixed.

1581
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 2: Everybody kind of exhales a little bit, don't you kind

1582
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 2: of get that sense about him.

1583
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 4: And it's nice to be able to rely on a person,

1584
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 4: a leader like Mitch who is always going to be

1585
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,200
Speaker 4: the same. You know, when you're going through something, when

1586
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 4: you're right in the highs and lows of a season,

1587
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 4: when you have a really important game coming up and

1588
01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 4: some people could be a little bit up and down

1589
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 4: about it or in terms of preparation for it, you know,

1590
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 4: you can lean on a guy like him to be

1591
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 4: the voice of reason and to be the calm in

1592
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 4: a storm.

1593
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 2: Matty spotted this on social media. WSVN, which is a

1594
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,799
Speaker 2: South Florida Network television station. I believe it's an ABC

1595
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 2: station in Broward County. They are reporting that firefighters are

1596
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 2: battling a fire at the home of Tyreek Hill. They

1597
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 2: have helicopter video and there is smoke billowing out of

1598
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 2: the roof of his home based on the video Maddie

1599
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 2: and I were able to pull up on social media,

1600
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,680
Speaker 2: so we obviously Tyreek Hill is not at home. He

1601
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 2: is at practice. Hopefully no family members are at home

1602
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 2: at this time. But that is a report from WSVN

1603
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 2: television in South Florida that Tyreek Hill's home, which is

1604
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 2: located in Southwest Ranches, Florida, is literally on fire right

1605
01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 2: now and fire crews are on the scene battling that fire.

1606
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 2: So hopefully everybody is out of the home and safe.

1607
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 2: But that's something that's going on as we speak right now.

1608
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 2: So kind of a weird side off the field story. Yeah,

1609
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 2: going on right now concerning the Dolphins. Other things to

1610
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 2: discuss here, Well, I didn't have you fill in the blank, Maddy.

1611
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll do the same thing. I'll play along

1612
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,600
Speaker 2: with you. But this weekend's game against the Dolphins is.

1613
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 4: What for you the whole Enchilada, baby, it's everything. It's

1614
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 4: everything for this team. You got to be able to

1615
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:38,760
Speaker 4: win this game. They want to win this game.

1616
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:41,479
Speaker 5: They know they have to because it's for the two seed.

1617
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 4: And that's a big difference from the being the two

1618
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 4: seed to possibly not even being a part of it.

1619
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 4: This team has been able to put it together when

1620
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 4: they needed to, coming out of the bye week, win

1621
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:56,080
Speaker 4: four straight games. Fix it, put it together, come together

1622
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 4: as a team, show that resiliency, show that leadership in

1623
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 4: the locker. They deserve a run at it. I want

1624
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,840
Speaker 4: to see what's left in the tank for this team.

1625
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 4: I know it's come together later than we wanted to.

1626
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:10,759
Speaker 4: But if you're hitting your stride at the right point,

1627
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 4: if it's coming together, you're peaking at the right time,

1628
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 4: you might as well make a run for it in

1629
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 4: the playoffs, which means winning this game.

1630
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm on the same I'm along the same lines here.

1631
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 2: I said this weekend's game against the Dolphins is essential

1632
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 2: for playoff success. The Bills haven't mentioned it much this

1633
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 2: season because the situation in which they found themselves in

1634
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 2: terms of one lost record made it unclear as to whether.

1635
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 1: It was even going to be achievable.

1636
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,919
Speaker 2: But at the beginning of each of the last three seasons,

1637
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 2: after playoff failures of the past, the number one thing

1638
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 2: they say is we want to win our division, and

1639
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 2: then the second thing they say is we want home

1640
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 2: playoff games. In January now, when they were six and

1641
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 2: six They didn't know if that was possible, so they

1642
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 2: weren't uttering those words. But now that it is here,

1643
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 2: it is essential to playoff success, and the Bills have

1644
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 2: proven that. Over the last few years. They haven't won

1645
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:13,679
Speaker 2: a road playoff game. It's ended in Kansas City. Every

1646
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 2: year they've had to go on the road. Now last

1647
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 2: year it did end at home, but they have playoff

1648
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:22,600
Speaker 2: victories on their home field in the Sean McDermott era

1649
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:28,680
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Baltimore, New England. Winning this game this weekend's game

1650
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 2: against the Dolphins and winning it is essential to Buffalo's

1651
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 2: playoff success as I see it, just by virtue of

1652
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:38,640
Speaker 2: the last few years. Play a game at home in

1653
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 2: the playoffs, hopefully too and if you get lucky and

1654
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 2: Baltimore gets tripped up by somebody, maybe even the AFC

1655
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 2: title game if you get that far. So that's kind

1656
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 2: of where we stand. Let's quickly go back to the phones.

1657
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 2: Art in Rochester has been waiting patiently.

1658
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 11: What do he got for his art?

1659
01:21:55,280 --> 01:22:00,799
Speaker 15: Hi, good afternoon in a great show today. Good afternoon

1660
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 15: to both of you and Maddy and I just this

1661
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 15: is the second time I call in. I've called in

1662
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 15: a listened to the show all the time, and I

1663
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 15: just wanted to address your question there. Sure, I've never

1664
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 15: had the high regard for Dolphins this season that the

1665
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 15: pressed and the pungens and all that give to them.

1666
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 15: And the reason is this, The reason why is in

1667
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 15: there's some statistic statistics involved here. But there was a

1668
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 15: great NFL coach one time. His name is Bill Parcells.

1669
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 15: We all know him, probably one of the best NFL

1670
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 15: coaches there was, who once said something that made a

1671
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,439
Speaker 15: lot of sense. You are what your record says, you

1672
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:46,600
Speaker 15: are number that. Oh yeah, okay, So let's break that

1673
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 15: down for the Dolphins record. They had five losses this season.

1674
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 15: Every one of those losses was against the team with

1675
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:58,439
Speaker 15: a winning record. Their only win against the team with

1676
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 15: a winning record was a twenty two twenty went over

1677
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 15: Dallas in Week sixteen. So look at this this way.

1678
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 15: A one in five record against winning teams is what

1679
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 15: it is, and it says it all. Also when you

1680
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 15: add in the fact that the Bills crushed them forty

1681
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 15: eight to twenty in Week six and look at what

1682
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 15: Baltimore did to them last week. They laid fifty six

1683
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 15: points on them. So what does that say that this

1684
01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:29,720
Speaker 15: sort of verifies you are what your record says you are.

1685
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:34,240
Speaker 15: At eleven and five overall is a great record, but

1686
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 15: when you break down how you got to that record,

1687
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 15: it tells more of the truth of the story. The

1688
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 15: fact is in no apologies for this for them, the

1689
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,600
Speaker 15: NFL gifted them with the easiest schedule in this in

1690
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 15: the NFL is year long. And short of this is

1691
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 15: they are a good team, but I don't think they're

1692
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 15: anywhere near an elite team. And I think we got

1693
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 15: this game taking care of and we can win this

1694
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:04,679
Speaker 15: game as long as we play up to our potential.

1695
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 15: Bottom line, again, let the cookies fall to the playoffs.

1696
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:11,719
Speaker 15: We've been playing the playoffs for the last four weeks.

1697
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 15: If we win, we play home game or home games

1698
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 15: in January, and that's the end of the story. And

1699
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:19,600
Speaker 15: I think we can do that, all right, Thanks very

1700
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 15: much for the call.

1701
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 12: Art.

1702
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. They have not done well against teams

1703
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:23,759
Speaker 1: with winning records.

1704
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 2: To your point, the only victory they have is a

1705
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 2: two point win over Dallas, and some would argue that

1706
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 2: Dallas frittered that game away. They had to fumble going

1707
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,599
Speaker 2: in from the ten yard line that would have made

1708
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 2: the game fourteen to three in favor of Dallas. Instead

1709
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 2: it goes the other way. I think the point though,

1710
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 2: that we should make here is just about.

1711
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:46,719
Speaker 1: Every team in the AFC is flawed.

1712
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 2: Baltimore would appear to have the fewest blemishes, but they

1713
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 2: have some deficiencies as well. They have trouble getting pass

1714
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:56,360
Speaker 2: pressure when they only rush for they usually have to

1715
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 2: blitz to generate pressure, and there are some other things

1716
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 2: with them. Although I'm probably being nitpick either a thirteen

1717
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 2: to three football team, everybody else in the AFC has flaws,

1718
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 2: including the Bills. So that's why it is such a

1719
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 2: week to week league. And the NFC is even more

1720
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:13,599
Speaker 2: jumbled than the AFC. What do you got like six

1721
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 2: teams still alive for like three playoff spots.

1722
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:16,759
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

1723
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, I hope what you're saying is right, because

1724
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 2: that would mean that the Bills should win and win

1725
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 2: handily on Sunday night.

1726
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 1: But as we know, you never know which way some

1727
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: of these turns.

1728
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:29,640
Speaker 11: Sometimes no, not.

1729
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 4: At all, And per a team source, Dolphins reporters are

1730
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,680
Speaker 4: reporting that Tyreek Hill is aware of the fire at

1731
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 4: his house and that everyone is out of the house

1732
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:40,280
Speaker 4: and safe.

1733
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 5: For those wondering.

1734
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:43,640
Speaker 2: He has also left practice obviously to tend to his

1735
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 2: home and his family at this time. So if in

1736
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:49,600
Speaker 2: case you're just joining us, we saw reports from a

1737
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 2: South Florida television station saying that Tyreek's Tyreek Hill's home

1738
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 2: was on fire and they were fire crews tending to

1739
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 2: it this afternoon. Got to take up here some final

1740
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 2: thoughts on the tweetsheet when Maddy and I return here

1743
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:24,720

01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 2: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, official equipment moving company of

Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. Drew says, this weekend's game is this

1747
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 2: Bill's ticket, the Bills ticket to an AFC championship game.

1748
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 2: David says it's going to be quite the adventure. Some

1749
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:42,719
Speaker 2: might even say this team and fan base we're built

1750
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:43,639
Speaker 2: for this type of game.

1751
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 1: Let's go.

1752
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 2: I am the Legend, says the most important game of

1753
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's career in Terra Sante. Yeah, I think the

1754
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 2: AFC title gaming as the Chiefs might have been his

1755
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 2: most important, but This one's a biggie.

1756
01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:58,680
Speaker 5: It is a big one for sure. Looking forward to it.
