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

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

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: in the strated here of normalcy. Here ding it up.

5
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: On a Thursday one Bill's Live check out a stadium.

6
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: We got Pick Tasker, our MSG viewers looking at a

7
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: snow coded Bill's stadium. We have overcast guys, got a

8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: couple of inches overnight, and uh, it's funny, Steve. Earlier today,

9
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: I was doing an interview with Denver Broncos dot Com

10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: online zoom call with Steve Atwater and his first question

11
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: to me is, how's the weather out there in Buffalo?

12
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: This seems like a snow timing year. What do you

13
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: guys got going on? And I was out in the

14
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: atrium here the field house, just outside our studios, say

15
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: let me show you. Picked up my laptop, turned the cameras.

16
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: We got a couple injures out there. He's like, oh wow,

17
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: that's awesome, blah blah blah. He was loving it. Oh yeah, Well,

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: fans and Denver know how it gets to get some

19
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: people they get snow too, but they also get the

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: thing that's different about Denver. They get early snow, they

21
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: get three hundred plus days of sunshiny year. Well, yes,

22
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: we don't get that, right, we don't get that. So

23
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: I grew up out a lot of gray. I grew

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: up out there, well in that region, not not right there,

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: obviously across the state line, but you're a little bit

26
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: east to the rock, and uh, you go, it's sunny

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: there all the time. But man, when they get hammered,

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: they get hammered, and it'll be sunny, you know. It's

29
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: that's why it's so such a great ski weather out there,

30
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: ski country out there, they get a lot of early

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: snow and late snow. Yeah, they'll get an October snow

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: store and an April snow store, a lot of late

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: and I don't mean a fu I don't flur either,

34
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not enough. They'll get a terrologists to know

35
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: why that is. Yeah, they'll get two feet in April.

36
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, So yeah, good conversation with him. I

37
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: didn't really get to talk to him much about the Broncos,

38
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: but he's he said, weather looks good for Saturday, forty

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: two for a high, no pre sip in the forecast,

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: No like major wins blowing through either, so that'll be

41
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: good for Josh in the passing game on Saturday. Doesn't

42
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: look like they'll be interrupted in any way, shape or form.

43
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: Bill's News. Coach McDermott this morning confirmed that John Brown

44
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: will not be up this weekend, So it looks like

45
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: even though he did return to practice this week, he

46
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: will not be moved off of injured reserve this week.

47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: So it looks like the same lineup we've seen with

48
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: respect to the receiving corps the last couple of weeks

49
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: will continue and as coach McDermott left it, we'll just

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: have to see and take it one week at a

51
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: time with Smoke. So no John Brown on Saturday. Oh,

52
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: by the way, the Bills have gone three and oh

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: without John Brown in the lineup in the last three weeks.

54
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: That's thanks in large parts of game Davis, who has

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: a three game touchdown scoring streak. That's pretty amazing. I

56
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: think the team is that would not have happened last year.

57
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: They are playing better. They started to remember how they

58
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: started out weeks one through four. They were crushing people.

59
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: Josh was like in the MVP races, like zero interceptions

60
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: on They're playing better. Now, you know, they're better in

61
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: collectively three phase wise, the Bills have Of the seven

62
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: teams in the AFC playoff race, the Bills have played

63
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: more against their opponents on their schedule, have more wins

64
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: than anybody in the playoff hunt in the AFC. Well,

65
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: I think going into last week there's only one. Seven

66
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: of their wins where against teams with winning records. The Yeah,

67
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: the only team in the entire NFL playoffs who have

68
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: a higher strength of wins against is Tampa Bay. The

69
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: Bills have. The bills opponents have had eighty seven wins

70
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: on the season. Tampa Bay's opponents had ninety two. Nobody

71
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: else has more wins against for teams they've played than

72
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: the Bills. And the Bills are ten and three headed

73
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: into Week fifteen. Yeah, they're good. They're They're really good.

74
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: They're and they're solid and dependable. Two, And I'll go

75
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: back to the games that they've lost. Okay, the Hail Murray,

76
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do they make? You know, two

77
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: singular athletes make one play in a game like that

78
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: and it beats you. The Tennessee game. I will always

79
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: go back to and say, there's no way the Bills

80
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: win that game. In that situation, ever, they'll win ninety nine,

81
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: they'll lose ninety nine times out of one hundred. Because

82
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: of what the Tennessee Titans went through in the lead

83
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: up to that game and what the Bills had to

84
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: go up in the lead up to that game, the

85
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: Titans were set up for success. And you can laugh

86
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: me all you want about being out of the building

87
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: for two weeks only having two practices compared to the

88
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Bills what they went through. I'm telling you right now,

89
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: the Bills had no shot at winning against Tennessee. And

90
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: then the Chiefs game, where the Bills have did the

91
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: best job up to that point of stymying what the

92
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Bills did or the Chiefs did, not being able to

93
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: get it done offensively. Those three wins, those three, the

94
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: three losses the Bills are they are rarely underperforming rarely.

95
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: They did it for a half last week and then

96
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: they got the handle on it and they won by

97
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: double digits. And how long how many years has it

98
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: been where you know people have evaluated this team and said, well,

99
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: they just need to be more consistent. They're that now.

100
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: And not only they're consistent, their floor is higher than

101
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: it's been in twenty five years. Yeah, their floor is higher.

102
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: When they we have a down day there, it doesn't

103
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: just go away. They're still competitive because they find a

104
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: way to recapture a rhythm, as they did last week.

105
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: I got some you know, the first half was a

106
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: little bit of a muddle last week offensively, and then

107
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: second half they found a little bit of rhythm. And

108
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs actually addressed that when he spoke to the

109
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: media yesterday and he said, yeah, he goes. You know,

110
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: last week was a game of you know, some lulls,

111
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: and we had some good moments, but we weren't stringing

112
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: enough of them together, he said, But the important thing

113
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: was everybody stayed positive. Nobody panicked. Everybody's like, let's just

114
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: keep you know, keep pushing here, try to make a

115
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: play and then try to make another play, and then

116
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: try to make another play. And we came out in

117
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: the second half and we did start to get into

118
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of rhythm and then it was like, okay,

119
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: here we go. So I think that sense of calm

120
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: that when things maybe aren't going exactly to form or

121
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: as they drew it up, or as the game plan intended,

122
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: I think It's very important to note that this team

123
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: doesn't hit the panic button. You know. They they stay cool,

124
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: they stay focused, and they say, all right, look, it's

125
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: not going how we want it right now, but let's

126
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: just kind of feel our way through this, you know,

127
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: stay upbeat, stay positive. We're gonna make a play here.

128
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: We're too good a team to not kick it into

129
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: gear eventually here, so let's just stick with it and

130
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: we'll get it. That is a mindset that has not

131
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: existed on this roster in a long long time. We

132
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: had a thing long time. We had a thing going

133
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: around today on the inner office chat conversation and everybody's

134
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 1: like everybody's doing. They're sending they're sharing pictures with people

135
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: here in the office about where they were twenty five

136
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: years ago. Right. I got a sobering dose of I'm

137
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: pretty old right too. So, But so as a result,

138
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: I went back and found it. You know, I had

139
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: to go back to ninety five. I was on the field, right,

140
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: So I went back and caught a highlight on YouTube,

141
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: went back and caught a couple of games of highlights

142
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: of the ninety five season. One of them was the

143
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: playoff game against the Dolphins. We played the Dolphins a

144
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks before that won the division. Then they

145
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: came back a couple of weeks later for the wildcard

146
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: right which was in fact Don Shootler's last game as

147
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: head coach was the wildcard game nineteen ninety five, and

148
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: when we beat him, And what struck me is what

149
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: you just said in those times, all the way through

150
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: the from eighty eight all the way through till ninety

151
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: five ninety said, when the remainder of my career, you

152
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: had guys like Thurman and Bruce and Jim Kelly, and

153
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: certainly they were proven Andre Reid, they were proven players.

154
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: But even before they were proven, like the Bill showed

155
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: last week against Pittsburgh, Steph Dick said, give me a chance,

156
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: give me a chance to get us started. And they

157
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: fed him. They kept feeding him, and Josh kept feeding.

158
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: Six catches eighty three on back to back touch and

159
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: with one of the two touchdowns, and the next thing

160
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, Gabe Davis is back of the end zone. Yeah,

161
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: that's a touchdown. And I know by the way the

162
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: game's over, you stack up nine seven and a half.

163
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: Then it's twenty three to seven. And thanks for coming.

164
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: All of a sudden. You're stacking up these plays that

165
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: are they gash the other team and they don't have

166
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: anybody like that, or they don't or your players stop

167
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: them from doing that. So now tell now, let me

168
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: take it a step, Let me take it a step further.

169
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: Who does that sound like that's that team I was on, right,

170
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: and it sounds like the Chiefs. Sounds like the Chiefs. Yeah,

171
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: dial it up? Who else does I don't? I don't

172
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: and maybe we don't watch him. It doesn't sound like

173
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: the Titans to me. Titans are more of a plotting

174
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean they have big playability. Age is a stud,

175
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: yes he is a certified stud. But they are more

176
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: of a score in the red zone team grind it out,

177
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: get an early lead, and then just pound the tar

178
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: out of you if they fall behind. If the Titans

179
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: fall behind by ten points or fourteen points, it's hard

180
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: for them to climb back into a game and win. Now,

181
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: they almost did it against the Browns a couple of

182
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago. They were down what thirty thirty eight? Nothing? Yeah,

183
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: and they climb back into that game the first half

184
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: that they had so much time left in that game.

185
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Climb back into that game pretty capably. So maybe maybe

186
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: that's not always the case for them, But they just

187
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: strike me as a methodical, grind it out offensive team,

188
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: not this quick strike. All of a sudden, there's fourteen

189
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: points on the board and nobody knows how the hell

190
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: had happened that fast. Yeah, they're not They're not that

191
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: to me, though. The Browns were like thirty eight to three. Man,

192
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: let's go, let's get out of here as it counts. Yeah,

193
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: but you gotta have a team that doesn't do that.

194
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: It happens, and a coaching staff that won't let you

195
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: do that. Right, So I And probably the last time

196
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: you could accuse the Bills of doing that was Week

197
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: three and they learned their lesson right with against the Rams. Right.

198
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: They also twenty three the week before or against the Dolphins,

199
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: where they they had to defend an onside kick as well.

200
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: You remember that it was the Bills. It was thirty

201
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: one twenty eight. It ended up they got that late touchdown.

202
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: We had to cover the on side kick to get

203
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: to get out of there. That was going on. Remember

204
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: that was that was a thing back early in the season.

205
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, I this team really just seems solid

206
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: as a rock. And it reminds me of the good

207
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: teams we've seen over the years where when they go

208
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: through a lull, they they turned to a great player.

209
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: You look at the Patriots, you can look at them

210
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: year after year, Gronk, they just turned to the gronk.

211
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: Gronkowski or Edelman and Brady would make a play. And

212
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: certainly they had other guys down the roster who were

213
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: no longer there that made plays. You look at the

214
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: you know, the Chiefs are an easy when you look

215
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: at the Seattle Seahawks during their runs, they just hand

216
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: the ball to Marshawn or Russell would make a throw.

217
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: They had. Your great teams have got star players on them,

218
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: and those guys step up in moments like that, and

219
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: that's I think that's a little bit of what happened

220
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: with Diggs and Alan, Alan and Diggs twenty twenty last

221
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: Monday night or Sunday night. They just at that second half,

222
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: they came out and said, man, work, let's go, and

223
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: they got it done. And that's that's what it takes.

224
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: So that was a reminder, and I say it again,

225
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: I've heard you know, show up in the Bulldog talk

226
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: like this as well. Later on in the days. This

227
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: looks like a good team. This looks like the good

228
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: teams look. When things happen, they react like great teams.

229
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: Their coaching staff reacts like a great coaching staff. Right.

230
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: We mentioned that, uh no John Brown. This week, coach

231
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: McDermott also ruled out say Jaquan Johnson. We'll have to

232
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: wait for a final ruling on Tremaine Edmonds, who's been

233
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: limited this week with a foot injury, and tarn Johnson,

234
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: who's been limited in practice this week. He's in concussion

235
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: protocol still today, so he would have to get medical

236
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: clearance to be up, so in all likelihood he's going

237
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: to be questionable at best. And Lee Smith, the tight

238
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: end dealing with a knee injury. He's been limited in

239
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: practice this week, so we'll have to wait for the

240
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: injury report to come out today to find out what

241
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: their status is for the game on Saturday. Denver head

242
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: coach Vic Fangio has said both of their top two

243
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: running backs, Melvin Gordon and Philip Lindsay, are questionable for

244
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: the game on Saturday, both of whom have been dealing

245
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: with some nagging injuries. Their right guard, Graham Glasgow, also questionable.

246
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: Trey Marshall questionable and he's not counting on kicker Brandon

247
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: McManus to play now. He was put on the cost

248
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: this week. There was an anticipation that he might be

249
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: able to get off that list in time to play

250
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: on Saturday, but with the game being a day early,

251
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: that looks to be in doubt. And so I know

252
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: they added a veteran kicker to the roster, thirty one

253
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: year old Taylor Russellino from Millsaps College, who was added

254
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: to their practice squad, So you would assume he's going

255
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: to get called up on game day if McManus is

256
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: not cleared from COVID the COVID reserve list, and McManus

257
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: was dealing with some of his own issues this past week.

258
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: He's been solid all season long, but its two extra

259
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: points last week and that was part of the reason

260
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: why Denver only won by six. I think it was

261
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: or what was it, thirty four twenty eight. I think

262
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: that was the final last week against Carolina. In any event,

263
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: they've got some issues too, and we already know how

264
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: shorthanded Denver is at the cornerback position, so as I

265
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: see it, advantage Buffalo in a big way with respect

266
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: to offense versus defense. Now, the Broncos do have the

267
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: number one red zone defense in football. Vic Fangio is

268
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: a great schemer. They run his scheme very well even

269
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: if they are shorthanded. So I think it can cross

270
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: up quarterbacks in terms of finding the right answers. But

271
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: I gotta believe there's gonna be some Bills receivers running

272
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: free this weekend. Yeah, I even with John Brown out,

273
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna be. Now. You got to think

274
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: they're acclimated to being without him as well. Oh absolutely,

275
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: And that's not that they you know, they didn't get

276
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of that before. Lee Smith bothers me.

277
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: You kind of like to see him on the field.

278
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: But you know, you've got all of a sudden, you

279
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: put Tyler Croft back in the mix, and he's a

280
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: little bit like Dawson Knox. I mean, the two of

281
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: them together, all of a sudden, you go two tides.

282
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: That makes your defense adjust to you and you got

283
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: two pass catchers there. Yeah. I mean last week against

284
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers, that was some of the most twelve personnel

285
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: we have seen all season long from Brian Dable, and

286
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: I think it was partly due to help in protection sure,

287
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: more than anything else, try to give Josh a little

288
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: bit more time to get the ball out, knowing what

289
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: a pass rushing force the Steelers can be even without

290
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: Bud Dupree, just having t J. Watt and Cameron Heyward

291
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: and Stefan too on the field usually is enough to

292
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: get the job done. And it was at times. And

293
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: we saw Josh's arm getting hit as he threw. We

294
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: saw him getting knocked off his spot as he was

295
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: throwing one led to an interception. So yeah, we saw

296
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: a lot of twelve personnel last week. I don't know

297
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: that Denver's pass rushes nearly as fierce, you know, just

298
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: looking at the raw numbers, having not seen too many

299
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: of their games thus far this week, although I do

300
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: plan to watch some ninth and sacks per play. So

301
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: they have been getting home to a certain degree. And

302
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: I saw them hitting Bridgewater last week, so we'll have

303
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: to see where and what they decide as the best

304
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: game plan, personnel you should, etc. We do want to

305
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: let you know about the Twitter poll today. We had

306
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: a great show yesterday with a lot of the listeners

307
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: contributing saying how would a division what would a division

308
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: title mean? To you after waiting for twenty five years.

309
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: We're kind of flipping the conversation around a little bit.

310
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: So twenty five years ago today was the last time

311
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: the Bills clinched the AFC's title. This date in nineteen

312
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: ninety five was when Stephen the Boys clinched the last

313
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: divisional title for the franchise. So between that time and now,

314
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: give us your Bills high and low points between division titles.

315
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: You got a wide swath of time to choose from.

316
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: What are your Bills high and low moments over these

317
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: past twenty five years. So you can give us a

318
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: call at eight oh three five fifty one fifty two

319
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: five fifty have an open line for you there, or

320
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: you can hit us up on the tweet sheet at

321
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: one Bills Live and just leave us your comments there.

322
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: There is a lot to choose from in that twenty

323
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: five years span of time. And I've been around for

324
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: all of those years me too, and uh, off the

325
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: top of my head, because I didn't really sit down

326
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: and like put a list together, but I would say

327
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: probably top three lows. The lows would plenty to choose from.

328
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them. Monday Night, two thousand and

329
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: seven against the Cowboys. That is one of the top

330
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: three lows. Yeah, me too. That was a bat um

331
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: they had I want to say, two defensive touchdowns and

332
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: a special teams touchdown. We're up. Were up twenty four

333
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: to three and lost the game. So that's on the

334
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: top three lows. I'll have to search the deeper. Um. Yeah,

335
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: that was. That could be up there. That's pretty bad.

336
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: I would say the just give It to Him game

337
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: in two thousand up in New England where Wade Phillips

338
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: took the team off the field before the last extra

339
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: point was to be kicked with New England essentially while

340
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: already winning the game. He took the team off the field.

341
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: And this was at this was at Sullivan's like old

342
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: Foxborough Stadium before the new building was up, and uh

343
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: took the team off the field and you have to

344
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: walk the length of the field to get to the

345
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: locker room at the other end because it was in between.

346
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: It was up the drive way there, and uh Belichick

347
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: decides was it Belichick in two thousand or was it Carol?

348
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't remember, But in any event, they see that

349
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: the Bills aren't on the field, so they just run

350
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 1: it in for two right instead of kicking it just

351
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: to pour more salt in the wound. Oh, but that

352
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: wasn't who was the kicker it was. That was the

353
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: biggest officiating He was celebrating to the kaster. I have

354
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: ever seen high stepping it in. Whoever was Yeah, it was.

355
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: I was really hot after that. And I'll tell you

356
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: what it was, especially after Andre came in the locker

357
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: room or who was it. Maybe it wasn't two thousand.

358
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: Was it two thousand. I'm gonna have to check make

359
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: sure I might have my ears mixed up. Um that

360
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: was it might have been ninety. Yeah, either way, it's

361
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: still between division titles. Yeah, just remember Andre coming into

362
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: the locker room. He was standing on the sideline said

363
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: he audibly heard the side judge say to the line judge,

364
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: just give it to him. Oh, he's not fourth down

365
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: on Jefferson makes a catch on the sidelines on fourth down.

366
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: It is not only short of the marker, Sean Jefferson

367
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: doesn't even get one foot in bounce. They everybody missed

368
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: the play and the officiating crew that was there to

369
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: make a call. And I cannot remember what the replay

370
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: rules were at the time. Obviously, they must not. I

371
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: don't know, but um, the one official said to the other,

372
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: because neither of them knew what the hell happened on

373
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: the play, just give it to him. That was yeah.

374
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: And then Henry Jones then they pass interference in the

375
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: end zone. They call Henry Jones passing interference in the

376
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: end zone when one of the and the New England

377
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: receiver has got Thomas Smith Horsecollard. Yeah, it around the

378
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: round his nat. He's literally choking, literally choking him, and

379
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: Henry Jones gets called to passing Henry shoving somebody else. Um,

380
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean there was contact down, but whatever. So that

381
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: is a top three for me. Three. So I've got

382
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: Dallas Monday night. The Jes give it to him game.

383
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to think about a third throwback is

384
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: a bad one. Yeah, that's a tough one. So is

385
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: the ninety eight playoff game. Eric Moulds goes for two forty.

386
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: If he doesn't fumble that first catch and run, he

387
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: might have had three hundred in that game. But Flutie

388
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: gets sacked on the last play by Trace Armstrong. You

389
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: got Jimmy Johnson in the locker room dancing on Flutie flakes.

390
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: Oh god, it's rough. I wanted to go. I wanted

391
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: to get on a plane and fly down to Miami

392
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: like a month later, find Jimmy Johnson and just punch

393
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: him right in the face. That's how bad. That's how

394
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: annoyed I was by those actions after the game. What

395
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: about the high you're high, There's there's only one high

396
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: for me. End of the drought is probably number one. Absolutely,

397
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: that's it. That's probably number one. I would have the

398
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: thirty one to nothing season opening game in two thousand

399
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: and three against the Patriots, Lawyer malloy on the roster

400
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: three days after being cut on a you got cut

401
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday, signed by the Bills on a Wednesday.

402
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: Played in the game, knew the entire game plan, gave it.

403
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: Basically handed it to Greg Williams. Sam Adams rumbling down

404
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: the sidelines going thirty something yards for a touchdown. I

405
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: have the building was shaking after that play was pretty tasty.

406
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: Building was shaking and pretty fun. And we were early

407
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: in the time period where the Patriots were just beating

408
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: our heads in. It was early in the time period,

409
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: but they had already won a Super Bowl and uh

410
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: that season opening game I mean, there's a sun splashed day.

411
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: The bills were on the cover of Sports Illustrated that week,

412
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: if I remember right, Sam Adams was on the cover

413
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: rolling in and uh so that would be one. So

414
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: I'll have to think in number three for each of

415
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: those two highs and lows, I gotta get another low

416
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: and another high. But those are those are the ones

417
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: that stand out for me. Do you have ones in particular?

418
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: H No, the I mean is a low. The high

419
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: is definitely breaking the dra out. That was one of

420
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: the old time great moments in franchise history, no question

421
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: about it. I still remember coming back on the plane.

422
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: We get off the plane, it's New Year's Day, it's

423
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: like one thirty am. It's two degrees. Oh it's it's

424
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: less than two. Well it's two. And then there's a

425
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: wind chill and there's like four hundred people at the airport. Yeah,

426
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: and I know when you guys were winning, people are

427
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: at the airport a lot. We hadn't seen people at

428
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: the airport in decades, and there were four hundred people

429
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: there blaring horns, playing music out of amplifiers. It was insane,

430
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: absolutely insane. That was that was a cool thing to experience.

431
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: So those are the early choices for me. I have

432
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: to come up with one more loan and one more

433
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: high as I think through all those years. But we

434
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: want to know yours at eight oh three, five fifty one,

435
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty and uh, let's

436
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: go to the phones. We'll lead off here and at

437
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: least get somebody to get the ball rolling. We go

438
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: to Frank and Williamsville. Frank, what do you got for

439
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: a high or low on one Bill's Live, Well, I'll

440
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: tell you for a low homer and throwback hurt worse

441
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: than the Super Bowls. We headed in the bag. And

442
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: the other thing reminded me of the other night last

443
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and when we lost the Cardinals,

444
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: we headed in the bag and the game was over,

445
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: and it just it didn't work out that way. So

446
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention one other thing real quick about Steve.

447
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: The other day you were talking about how to cherish

448
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: these momented at the end of it is really tough

449
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: to take win in the teams. It's all over. Yeah, um,

450
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: And I really thought it was a bit of an emotion.

451
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: ID texts from me. He really thought it was cool,

452
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: and I want to credit you for that. I want

453
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: to ask you one other thing real quick. Um, have

454
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: they given out your number eighty nine to anyone else

455
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: or are they still saving it for the for a

456
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: lupa cone in the Wall of Fame. I don't know that. Yeah,

457
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: they didn't retire my number. That Jeeve is on the

458
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: Wall of Fame in case you didn't know. But the number,

459
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: the number has not been retired. Only two numbers have

460
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: been retired in team history, and that's twelve and thirty four. Um,

461
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: there are some unwritten rules by the equipment staff that hey,

462
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: don't ask for that number. They've given it out before.

463
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean they Lee Evans was given permission to wear

464
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: eighty three after andre Um so, but that number is

465
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: not issued very often, right, Um, seventy eight is retired

466
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,239
Speaker 1: as we know, twelve is retired as we know. So

467
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: those will never be born again, probably correct. So, Yeah,

468
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: they didn't. They did not retire my jersey, Frank, they

469
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: washed it so and well, I haven't felt so good

470
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: about the bill since I don't know when. But the

471
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: last two games against Pittsburgh and in uh San Francisco,

472
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: those are statement games. And I'm telling you. They showed,

473
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: they showed that they could throw punches with the basketball

474
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: because they were the guys. San Francisco in particular, came

475
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: on your show and said that the Bills defense, because

476
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: the Bill's offense couldn't handle the Bills, that the Niners

477
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: defensive there to be so physical. I think both Pittsburgh

478
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: and and San Francisco physically as well as on the scoreboard. Yeah,

479
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: they held in there against both those teams physically, I thought,

480
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: no question. And I think that was a little surprising

481
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: for some teams, particularly when you're a team you're the

482
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: Bills weren't playing physical enough of the line of scrimmage

483
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: early in the season. They just weren't. And then they

484
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: finally kind of learned, and they got together and they

485
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: started to understand their responsibilities better than they started playing better,

486
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: better technique, with more emotion and more preparedness, and they

487
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,239
Speaker 1: and the old adages and Marvel leave you say this,

488
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: you're you're always. Your morale is the most high. It's

489
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: at its highest levels when you're the most prepared. And

490
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: this team got better and better prepared to the season

491
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: went along. They got more and more comfortable in their

492
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: responsibilities and their roles, the defensive calls, their techniques. They

493
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: got more comfortable in what they were doing, more confident

494
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: in it, and they felt more prepared. And you can

495
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: tell the difference there. They're you know, their morale is

496
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: through the roof, and they're playing like it because they

497
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: feel prepared. And I think that's why one reason, huge

498
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: reason why their defense is playing more physical at the

499
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: point of attack as well as their offense. They just

500
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: feel more comfortable in what they're doing and more I

501
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: don't know, more secure. I guess, for lack of a

502
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: better way to put it, they're just better prepared now

503
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: because of their experience, and that leads to great play

504
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: and a high level of morale. Eight oh three oh

505
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two five fifty

506
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,000

Speaker 1: and we'll be happy to listen to those. We have

518
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker, Thursday edition of the show where we're asking

519
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: you you're high and you're low between what looks like

520
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: will be a twenty five years span between division titles.

521
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: A win in the Bills clinch a playoff berth and

522
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: the division on Saturday, they can find a way to

523
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: beat the Broncos, which will mark the end of the

524
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: term since their last division championship, which was nineteen ninety

525
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: five when the guy to my left was still playing.

526
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: So we want to know in that span of time,

527
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: what is your high moment in the Bill's history and

528
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: what is your low moment? Eight oh three five fifty

529
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: line open for you there, or you can hit us

530
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: up on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live and

531
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: we will go back to the phones and we'll go

532
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: to We'll go to fred in Fredonia to lead us off. Here, Fred,

533
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills Live,

534
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: Chris and Steve Um. I would agree with you, Brownie.

535
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm that the high being that opening game when we

536
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: beat New England and if you recall, Sam Adams made

537
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: the cover of Sports illustray at that returning returning that interception.

538
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: But with respect to the low, I'd have to say

539
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: it was that season. I forget the exact year, but

540
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: when it was the last game of the year and

541
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: we were playing Pittsburgh at home and they had already cleansed,

542
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: the game meant nothing to them, and they played all

543
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: their back off two thousand and four to Thos and

544
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: Ford and who was the third stream running back Willie

545
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: Willie Parker. Willie Parker that ran for like two hundred

546
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: and thirty yards and I had we won that game,

547
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: we would have made the playoffs. So um, that was

548
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: pretty low. My friends and I, we had a limo,

549
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: were at the game. Dealers fans travel well, so there

550
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: are enough of them, even though the game didn't meet anything,

551
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: so it was it was pretty Yeah. The reason why

552
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: it was such a rough one is because if you remember,

553
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: the Bills got off to like an owen three start

554
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: that season and then went on a run. They won

555
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: six in a row going into that game, so they

556
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: were on fire. And so they're coming into that last

557
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: game of the season. They know Pittsburgh doesn't need it,

558
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna be playing against their backups. A win and

559
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: they're in. So everybody in this area was in a

560
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: state of euphoria because it looked like a gimming and

561
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: they got run over by the Steelers backups. You want

562
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: to talk about hanging heads coming out of that stadium,

563
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: Holy Crow, I didn't recall that that like that. That

564
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: the Ledsoe was bad that game. I think, Yeah, the

565
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: coaching staff lost all confidence after the right and he

566
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: was not back after that year. They appointed JP the

567
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: starter and Bledsoe was in Dallas the next season. So yeah,

568
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: it was that that pretty much sealed the fate of

569
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: the Tom Donahoe Mike Mularkey tenure here um And that

570
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: was a really good defense that year. That defense finished

571
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: second in the league to Kio Spikes in London. Fletcher

572
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: were terrors. Was at the second level defense, No, that

573
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: was Jerry Gray was still here. Defensive coordinator Mike Malarkey

574
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: agreed to inherit the defensive staff left behind by Greg Williams,

575
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: which I thought was an interesting decision. It was a mistake.

576
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: It was. It proved to be in the end, because

577
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and five was a disaster to say the least.

578
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: There were there was in fighting among the coaching staff.

579
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: I think Jerry Gray quit about five times, was walking

580
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: out of the building with boxes and everything like times,

581
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: and they have to bring him back and beg him

582
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: to come back every It was insane. Two thousand and

583
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: five was a mess, and unfortunately it brought an end

584
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: to a tenure that you know, people thought the Donahoe

585
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: tenure was going to be a very successful one and

586
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: lift them out of salary cap jail and get them

587
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: fixed and make some free agent signings. And while there

588
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: was a good deal of that and some good moves

589
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: were made, including the Bledsoe trade, it never never reached

590
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: full fruition. And then it went down in like in

591
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: a blaze of glory. It really did well with with

592
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: Malarkey like resigning. Well, yeah, right, they were talking to him,

593
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: but he wasn't going to stay if Donahoe wasn't going

594
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: to be here, and it was evident Donaho wasn't going

595
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: to be here, so Malarkey did not want to be

596
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: here either. Um, I guess to a certain extent, I

597
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: can understand that. But that's a tough place to become

598
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: a head coach for the first time in the league.

599
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: You know, you trust the GM, but you're inheriting half

600
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: a staff you've never worked with before, who had been

601
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: here prior to your arrival. This is kind of a

602
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: weird dynamic, you know, weird dynamic one you've never really

603
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: seen all that often in the league. Back to the

604
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: phones and we go to Joe in Maryland. Joe, what

605
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one Bills live. Hey,

606
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: So I was actually going to mention the twenty two

607
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: thousand four Pittsburgh game as well. But to add to that,

608
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: our point differential in that sixth game winning streak in

609
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: two thousand and four was plus one thirty nine. Yeah,

610
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: it seems like a total gimme, like you said. And

611
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: I was only sixteen at the time, and my first

612
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: real Bills memory is actually the ninety five Division title

613
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: and the playoff game with Miami, and so I hadn't

614
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: really tasted the playoffs or the two Bowl really much

615
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: at all, and so I was just I destroyed my bedroom.

616
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a disaster after that, What exactly

617
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: were you throwing? What's that? What exactly were you throwing?

618
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: Because oh, I was ripping posters off the wall. I

619
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: threw my feedy tower all over the place, ripped my

620
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: betting off just I mean, just destroyed total, total tantrum territory. Yeah,

621
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: there you go. You remind me of my Yeah, you

622
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: remind us of Jay Harris, our producer on Wednesdays or

623
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: something like that. He's a tantrum thrower. Yeah, to the

624
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: Steelers stress then Stevie Johnson the drop in two. Oh

625
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: my god. Yeah, that was a tough one. Twenty ten

626
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: I think that was. But then it came full circle

627
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: and my high was, you know, other than the ending

628
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: the drought, my high was last year when we had

629
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers on Sunday night and we beat them to

630
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs, and then again beat them again

631
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: this year. So the con came full circle. Yeah, I thought, Yeah,

632
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: one of the highlight for me. There's been a couple

633
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: and we've had a couple of people mentioned this is

634
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: when Josh runs for the fourth down in Dallas in

635
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: the first half the last year on Thanksgiving where it

636
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: was kind of a it was a Ken tod you know,

637
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: if you want to do the analogy, it's like, for

638
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: the first time in his career, Josh busts through the

639
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: door of the saloon. Yeah, he starts a bar fight

640
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: and wins it. And uh, that was big eating a

641
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: chick eating a turkey leg afterwards on CBS, and CBS

642
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 1: always loves that stuff. They put that all on there

643
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: and it was splattered everywhere, and the team looked really

644
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: good in that win. And then of course, um, the uh,

645
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: the the busting of the drought when you know, with everybody,

646
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: the entire Bills fan base, you know, being unified in

647
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: front of that TV when that pass gets completed for

648
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: the first for the touchdown in Cincinnati, unbelievable moment. And

649
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: h that's gotta be a really big high. When the

650
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: thing finally came to a close. I mean, that team

651
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: out on a roll and they were just laying waste

652
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: to their opponents. I mean, they go up to Seattle,

653
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, struggling, still struggling up and down most of

654
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: the year, and coach Malarkey, instead of having like this

655
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: intense pregame evening meeting in the hotel conference room, he

656
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: tells the whole team. We're going out. We're going to

657
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: get cheeseburgers. And they went out for a walk. They're

658
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: out there on Puget Sound just going down. They walk

659
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: to a burger joint, like the whole lot of them,

660
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: like seventy five eighty of them, coaches, players, they just

661
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: all get cheeseburgers and they're just walking down the street

662
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: eat and she like a whole football teams walking down

663
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: to street eating cheeseburgers. That was their meeting the night before.

664
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: They go out the next day they win thirty eight

665
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: to nine in Seattle, and that was the That was

666
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: the big game with the fourth down play where Bledsoe

667
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: fakes the sneak on fourth down, then backs up, throws

668
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: it out in the left flat to Willis and mcgahey

669
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: goes like thirty eight yards into the end zone for

670
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: a touchdown and blew the door open on the game.

671
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: And they just routed him and from there it was

672
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: just boot. They were blowing teams out of the water.

673
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: And then what the hell happened in week seventeen, I

674
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: couldn't tell you. Yeah, Well, yeah, football happens, you know,

675
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: I mean two thousand and four, huh, Yeah, that was,

676
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: and that's when Lee Evans was killing it. He was

677
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns every single week as a rookie. I mean

678
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: he was tearing it up. He had nine touchdowns his

679
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: rookie year. He couldn't be stopped. They were I mean

680
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. Molds in him. Yeah, they go. It was,

681
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: they get out. They beat the Rams thirty seven seventeen

682
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: and weekly that was here, and that was a big

683
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: Bobby April Special Teams game. I remember they had a

684
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: pop up kick. He had Ryan Lindell kick a pop

685
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: up kick. And Eric Flowers, a former Bill's draft choice

686
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: in two thousand, is on the Rams and he's on

687
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: the return unit, an up man and it comes right

688
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: to him. He tries to catch it and I can't

689
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: remember who the heck it was, but he got down

690
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: the field in the hurry and just destroyed him. And

691
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: the balls lose. They jump on that thing, they score,

692
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: then they score again. It was just they were an

693
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: avalanche of points six weeks. Think about it. If they

694
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: scored thirty seven and the thirty seven seventeen win at

695
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: Saint Louis versus Saint Louis here that then they go

696
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: to my Seattle, they win thirty eight to nine. Then

697
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: they beat the Dolphins in Miami four and score forty two,

698
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: give up thirty two, but score forty two. They went

699
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: for over three fifty in that game. Then they have

700
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland here thirty seven to seven. They beat him. Then

701
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: they go to Cincinnati and hang thirty three and double

702
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: up the Bengals almost thirty three to seventeen. Then they

703
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: get the forty nine ers in San Francisco and go

704
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: forty one to seven and beat them. And I mean

705
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: they were just crushing people. And then they get their

706
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: heads handed to him twenty four twenty nine by the Steelers. Terrible.

707
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. It was just such a downer. Well,

708
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 1: they started one so deflating, they started one in five season.

709
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: So to get to week seventeen and it's winning, you're in.

710
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: You know, your destiny is in your hands, and you're

711
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: playing a team that doesn't need the damn game. They

712
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: could have been ten and six and got in. They

713
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: ended up nine and seven and stayed home. Yeah, it

714
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: was that stinks. It was awful, and I think the

715
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: worst what made it even worse was if I remember right,

716
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: I want to say the Jets got in that year

717
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: with herm Edwards. Because the Bills lost, I want to

718
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 1: say the Jets ended up being the other wild card.

719
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: I could be wrong on that, but that I don't

720
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: know why. That's ringing a bell with me. I could

721
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: be wrong. I'll check the standings in two thousand and four.

722
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: I'm checking the Jets record in two thousand and four

723
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: and they are that ten and six yea. So they

724
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: got in and the Bills were out because of that.

725
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: That made oh man, I was just a double kick.

726
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:54,959
Speaker 1: Oh my head against the wall. Oh. We got plenty

727
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: of calls to get to, but we have to take

728
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: a break. So we've got some people waiting on Hole

729
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: Year and Bob and Buffalo Walter in Toronto, Jenna and

730
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 1: Cheek Towaga Dave and Buffalo Hank Tight. We'll get to

731
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: you in the next segment. Here on One Bill's Live,

732
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio Chris

Speaker 1: Brown Steve Tasker One Bills Live Thursday edition asking you

734
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: for your high and your low from the twenty five

735
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: years stretch between what looks like it's going to be

736
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: the end of the division title drought. What's your high

737
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: bills moment, your low bills moment from those two different

738
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: time period. From that stretch of time, you got twenty

739
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: five years to choose from. So there's that. But let's

740
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: go back to the phone because we've got plenty of

741
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: people waiting here and we're gonna go with Bob in

Speaker 1: Buffalo to lead us off. Bob, what do you have

743
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: for us? You're on one bills live. Well, the high

744
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: moment for me was the playoff clinchers four years ago.

745
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm so excited, called my buddies. We got airline tickets,

746
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: paid way too much for a ticket to the game,

747
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 1: went down, had a blast, and then the low moment

748
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: would be the game itself. Yeah, ten to three, that

749
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: was That was tough sledding. But Bortles I think he

750
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: ran for more yards and he threw Yeah, he did. Defense,

751
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: defense played well, and we didn't score down at you know,

752
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: the three yard line or two yard line. We had

753
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: four shots at it. Tyrod got hit late in the game,

754
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: got a concussion. Peterman had to come in and throw

755
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: the pick. Yeah, it was a long walk to time.

756
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you that was a dirty Jacksonville team.

757
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: They were headhunters. They were. There was about five times

758
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: in that game where I watched behind the play where

759
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: they would just cold cock somebody in the back of

760
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: the head. And they did it to Tyrod uh and

761
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: that's what knocked him out of the game. He was

762
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: already sitting down on the turf and somebody drove their

763
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: knee through the back of his helmet and knocked him senseless. Yeah,

764
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: the atmosphere before the game was incredible. We get thirty

765
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: thousand people down there. Oh yeah, you guys blew away

766
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville fans. It wasn't even close. Yeah, Jacksonville was Yeah,

767
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: and I'll say this too, that that Jacksonville team did go.

768
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: I did the game for CBS on the sidelines the

769
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: next week, and Jacksonville took it to the Steelers big time.

770
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean they they beat him good, and they were

771
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: a completely different team than they were against Buffalo. They

772
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: had something in their crawl against Pittsburgh. I don't know

773
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: what it was, but yeah, that was that Jacksonville team.

774
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: That Jacksonville game was a really tough one to watch.

775
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: After getting through the drought and get into the playoffs.

776
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: I have your team put up three points. It was

777
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: pretty disappointing. Yeah, it was a beautiful day too, and

778
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: like you know, you get excited. Mormon was sitting in

779
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: front of us, you know, the old Arld Punter and

780
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: Brian and it was just it was thirty thousand people,

781
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: but they mike the stadium for the Jacksonville fans. So

782
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: we're screaming and you came and hear us. Yeah, they

783
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: were pumping in crowd noise artificially. Yeah, it was sad. Well,

784
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: thank you for the Yeah, good one, Bob. Thanks. We

785
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: move along and we go to Walter in Toronto. Walter,

786
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: what do you have for us here? You're on One

787
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. How are you doing, gentleman? Great show. I

788
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 1: listened to you guys. Every Yanks appreciate that. Um. Just

789
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: one of one of the lows, I guess was the

790
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: Tennessee game, the so called Music City. Yeah, I think that.

791
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: I think the NFL gods set us up for two

792
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: decades a bad karma with that game. I still think

793
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: that was a forward pass, but that's just me, you

794
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: and Wade Phillips. Wade Phillips still calls it home run

795
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: throw forward. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And then the way they

796
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: described look with the ball started look where it ended.

797
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: You know what, it was a forward pass care how

798
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: you cut it. One of the one of the highs

799
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: of though, because I'm a season ticket holder and I

800
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: make the trek. Obviously not this year with the situation,

801
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: but I I've been a season ticket holder for a

802
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: couple of decades. And my brother in laws is a

803
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 1: bit of a Johnny cumb Lady NFL fan, and of

804
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: course he picks the Patriots that cheer on, so we

805
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 1: make sure that we do that. Patriots yearly tripped together

806
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: and more often than not he's he's been getting the

807
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 1: better of it. You know. He wears his Brady jersey,

808
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you, the fans in the tailgating

809
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: are good. They don't give him too much of a

810
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: hard time. But that one game where we're Brady through

811
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: three interceptions and that was that to me was the highlight. Well,

812
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: there were two games where he did that, and he

813
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: actually threw four picks. So in the two thousand three

814
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: home opener he threw four interceptions, they lost thirty one nothing.

815
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: And then in two thousand and eleven, he threw four

816
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: interceptions and they lost on the last second kick by

817
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: Lindell twenty four, twenty one. Yeah, that's the one two

818
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: and eleven. Okay, because other than that game, I think

819
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots, who you mentioned the one, you know four,

820
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: but us basically have had the run of the of

821
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: the of the of the situation. Yeah, so that that

822
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: was that was a definite highlight. Just to kind of

823
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: zing into my brother in law just a little bit.

824
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, Oh, you gotta you gotta gotta soak

825
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: that up and stick it to him. Good. They didn't

826
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: come around too often. What is the best best post

827
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: game tailgating company for that one? And you know what,

828
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: I think, I think Brady knew to get out of

829
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: Dodge this year because he knows what's coming up, and

830
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,439
Speaker 1: Allan looks great and I and I uh, I think

831
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: the team's got some great, great, great years ahead of us.

832
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: So thanks for the great job we're doing, guys, and

833
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: best of luck as we head into the playoffs. All right,

834
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: thanks for the Carl Walter, We appreciate it. Yeah, I mean,

835
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: I think I think Brady's departure had less to do

836
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: with what the rest of the vision looked like and

837
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: what the state of their own roster looked like and

838
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: where it was going. I think he knew that the Patriots,

839
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: we're going to have to bite the bullet on the

840
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: cap and they were going to be very limited in

841
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: that area, and so to pay Brady if they were

842
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: able to somehow do that with what he felt would

843
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: be appropriate value for himself, they wouldn't been able to

844
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 1: add any other talent. That's how tight they were against

845
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: the cap. And even now, I mean you so they

846
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: didn't sign Cam Newton until his price came down to

847
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: seven and a half million dollars. They have no money

848
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: to spend this year. They had to be very cap conscious.

849
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: They'll be in a better position next year in the offseason,

850
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,919
Speaker 1: but Brady saw the writing on the wall. He knew

851
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't at work there, and then that team was

852
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: in for a steep decline. I can't remember exact timeline

853
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: of it either, but Brady, with the pandemic going on,

854
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: this all happened in February March, right, Yeah, so we

855
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: were in the dark days of the pandemic and nobody

856
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: had opted out yet. But he had to know it

857
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: was going to be a different kind of year after

858
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 1: and particularly think too, how you know, distasteful last season

859
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: probably was for him after having so much success, even

860
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: so recently that you could see that the train was

861
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: coming to the end of the tracks and it was

862
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: time to get out while he getting was good, and

863
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it was absolutely doesn't have much time left

864
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: in the league. So he's probably thinking, I gotta go

865
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: to the best situation I can. Here's my one get

866
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: out of jail free card. And it wasn't going to

867
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: be the Patriots, right, and not that he didn't, And

868
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: because I feel like two, there's a little bit of this,

869
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: He goes, Listen, last year was your free year. I

870
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: gave you one more year, and I said, let's let's

871
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: give it a way. As we held it together, we

872
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: got a high. We were twelve and four. I mean,

873
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, okay, so there you go anyways with smoking mirrors.

874
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: There's your kiss, goodbye, and I'm out. You know, he

875
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 1: didn't like bail on him. He gave him that one

876
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: last year when by all intents and purposes, he might

877
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 1: have been able to bail out a year earlier. Let's

878
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: take one more before the break. We go to Dave

879
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Dave, what do you have for us? You're

880
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:13,919
Speaker 1: on one bills? Live Hi, guys, um a couple of questions. One,

881
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 1: do you do the Bills or any other NFL team

882
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 1: do anything special to try to deal with the thin

883
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: air of Denver? And my other questions a little on

884
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: the silly side. But Jerry Butler, the former receiver, his

885
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: daughter played soccer with one of my daughters years ago,

886
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 1: and I recall in the conversation at one point he said,

887
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, we never wore cups. We thought it slowed

888
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: us down. So I'm wondering if Steve, if you could

889
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: comment on that, if it's kind of odd. But yet

890
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:48,439
Speaker 1: pro football players do not wear those, Yeah, because it's

891
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: going to slow you down, among other things. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,

892
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: play football players don't wear those. Yeah, And I gotta

893
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: say it's it's a restrictive. Pro football players don't wear

894
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 1: them now. Youth football players you got to wear them

895
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: when you're when you're young and all that stuff. And

896
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: I college players Division one I never wore them either.

897
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: I didn't wear them in community college. So yeah, players,

898
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: pro players don't do that. Um, there you go. What

899
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: was it, Oh, Jerry Butler, Yes, that's right. Playing at altitude,

900
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: there's not much you can do. We used to do this.

901
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: If if you can't, it's a four o'clock game or

902
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: a one o'clock game out there. If you can't go

903
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: early enough to get acclimated to the and this this

904
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: was for the time change, I don't know if it's

905
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: probably different for the altitude. One of the things that

906
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: teams can do is they go you're supposed to be

907
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: there a day early. They go as late as they

908
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: can so that whatever problems they may have will be

909
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: abbreviated and they won't have time to get as far

910
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 1: into problems. If guys have problems with the altitude, altitude

911
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: sickness and that kind of thing, they won't have as

912
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: you know, they won't have that long there. Then they

913
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: get on the plane they come right back. Uh. They

914
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: also do that with like West Coast, East Coast, or

915
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: big like Olympic athletes going to like Japan for a

916
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: meet or or an event. If you can't go early

917
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: enough to get acclimated to the time change, the key

918
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: is to stay where you're at as long as you

919
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: can go, do the event, come back so that the

920
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: time change doesn't whack your schedule out. I would think

921
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: that there's a little bit of that going on. Certainly

922
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: the sports science people here in this building have done it.

923
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 1: But once you get there, there's you can't escape it.

924
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's not like you can wear

925
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: your ce pap everywhere you go, right right, so you know,

926
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: they'll have oxygen on the on the sidelines. Guys will

927
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: probably use that and take take take advantage of that.

928
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: But for most time, and I remember I played in

929
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: Denver a handful of times throughout my career, most of

930
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: these guys it won't even register to them. Yeah, I

931
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: mean they're so highly conditioned, they're high, and the altitude, yeah,

932
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: I at it. But these guys are used to being

933
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: out of breath and then recovering real quick. They it

934
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,879
Speaker 1: may take a couple extra seconds to recover. But it's

935
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: an explosion sport. So you you explode, you stop and

936
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: you rest and you explode and you stopping to rest,

937
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 1: and it's a really really routine like that. Your body

938
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: gets used to it. Now you may and long term,

939
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 1: you know, over the course of three hours, it may

940
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: take you longer and longer to rest. But we're talking

941
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:34,760
Speaker 1: about seconds, literally, an extra ten seconds, not fifteen minutes.

942
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 1: So there is a difference, no question. But for most

943
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: of these guys, and I know it was for me.

944
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: It never even occurred to negligible. It didn't occur to

945
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: me at once during the game that I was like, Wow,

946
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: this altitude is really killing me. Not once. Yeah, break

947
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:49,839
Speaker 1: time for us. But we'll get to more of your

948
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: phone calls when we return. Jenna and Cheek to Waga,

949

Speaker 1: five fifty. Hang on, Steve. We've even got a call

951
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: in Kansas that we have to get to our next segment.

952
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: We probably know him. It's possible. We'll find out when

953
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: we return. Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health,

Speaker 1: an official this morning. Wide receiver John Brown will not

957
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: play on Saturday against the Broncos. Brown was just designated

958
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 1: to return from injured reserve and did return to practice

959
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: this week, but he's missed the last three games with

960
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: an ankle injury and won't play on Saturday. Safety Jaquan

Speaker 1: Johnson also dealing with an ankle injury. He will also

962
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: be out for Saturday's game and miss his second straight contest.

963
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: Broncos coach Vic Fangio said today both running backs Melvin

964

00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: stands now, his kicker Brandon McManus, would not be available.

967
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,720
Speaker 1: He was put on the COVID reserve list earlier this week.

968
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: They do have a kicker on their practice squad, tailor Russelino.

00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 1: Week fifteen kicks off tonight with Thursday Night Football featuring

970
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 1: an AFC West battle between the Raiders and the Chargers.

971
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: Las Vegas looking to stay in the AFC playoff race,

972
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: but they'll be without wide receiver Henry Ruggs, who was

973
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: placed on the reserve COVID list this week. While the

974
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: league's owners did not vote to add a seventeenth game

975
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: to the twenty twenty one regular season during Wednesday's virtual meeting,

976
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: they did agree to procedures for a seventeenth regular season

977
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: game for each of the thirty two clubs if and

978
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: when the NFL adds such a seventeenth game to the schedule.

979
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: The new CBA, ratified in March, gave owners the option

980
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 1: to expand the regular season to seventeen games as early

981
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: as the twenty twenty one season. Giants are going to

982
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: be without offensive coordinator Jason Garrett for Sunday Night's game

983
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: against the Browns. The team announced on Thursday that Garrett

984
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: has tested positive for COVID nineteen. With Garrett working remotely

985
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: for the time being, tight ends coach and former Brown's

986
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,560

987
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,879
Speaker 1: play caller against his former team, the Cleveland Browns. They

988
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,280
Speaker 1: could also be without starting quarterback Daniel Jones, who's dealing

989
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,720
Speaker 1: with hip and ankle injuries. That is your sports update

Speaker 1: for hour number two with the show broadcasting from the

992
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: Seneca Studios in Orchard Park, New York. Where we are

993
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 1: asking you on the Twitter poll today between nineteen ninety five,

994
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: the last time the Bills won the AFC East title,

995
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: and this coming weekend where they could add another AFC

996
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: East title for the first time in twenty five years,

997
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: what is your high low point of Bills occurrences, games, signings,

998
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: whatever horrible decisions. Give us your high and your low

999
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: over the last twenty five years with the Bills and

1000
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: we're taking all comers at eight three, five fifty and Steve,

1001
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: we have gone international. Here just gonna say, I know,

1002
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. We got four calls on the line, London, Kansas,

1003
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: South Carolina and then there's Jenna in our backyard here

1004
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: in cheek O Waga. Jenna is on one Bills Live.

1005
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Jenna? Hey, guys, so um.

1006
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 1: I think one of the other callers touched upon it

1007
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, but my Bill's high um was that

1008
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: Bill's Patriots game in twenty eleven. We were down a

1009
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns and then Ryland All had that last

1010
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: second field goal to win, and I think we were

1011
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: three and oh at that point, yes, you're right, Um.

1012
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: Season didn't end well, but it was fun to be

1013
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 1: at that game. And do you have a low or no?

1014
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,240
Speaker 1: Or do you not even want to go there? Oh? Oh,

1015
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:49,240
Speaker 1: I would say, um when we hired Rex Ryan, Okay,

1016
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 1: oh you are You are not alone with that sentiment

1017
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 1: because I've seen it on the tweet sheet already. So

1018
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: thank you Jennifer the call. And you know, the thing

1019
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: that still sticks with me about that Week three win

1020
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: over the Patriots in twenty eleven. I get home after

1021
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: the game finished, work whatever here at the stadium, we

1022
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 1: can go back home. And it was a beautiful day,

1023
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: like September twenty fifth or something, and it was like

1024
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: seventy degrees and the fans at the stadium were in

1025
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: a froth, obviously, but fans at home they all had

1026
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: the windows open. I mean, it was a beautiful day.

1027
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: And my wife told me when I got home, when

1028
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: we were scoring touchdowns, I could hear neighbors shouting in

1029
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: their homes because everybody had their windows open because it

1030
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: was such a nice day. You audibly heard neighbors like script,

1031
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: you know that kind of stuff. I think we're watching

1032
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: the highlight right now of Fitzpatrick throwing the fade route

1033
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: to Stevie and for the touchdown. The place is absolutely

1034
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: jam packed with fans, and it's a beautiful day, absolutely

1035
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: jam packed, and it is just so cool to see,

1036
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: so cool to see. Yeah. And that was another game

1037
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: where they ended up on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

1038
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: Drayton Florence with the interception return for a touchdown. That

1039
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: was the image, at least on the regional cover of

1040
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated that was the time when they started doing

1041
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: regional covers and Drayton Florence had the end? Was that?

1042
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: Am I right about that? Drayton Florence? Yeah, that sounds right.

1043
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: I think he was still with the team then, right, Yeah, yeah,

1044
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: the interception returned for a touchdown. They all blend together, Steve.

1045
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: After a while, they all blend together. I've got another.

1046
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: I've got another high one that I was going to

1047
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: throw in when I get a chance, But I want

1048
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: to get to the phone calls first, because we got

1049
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: a lot of them waiting. We've got Paul calling long

1050
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: distance from London. Paul, what do you have for us?

1051
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: Give us a high and a low here over the

1052
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: last twenty five years. Hey, guys, my high is more

1053
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: pre pregame related. Monday Night Browns at Bill in eight. Yeah,

1054
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: I was freshman in college, hanging out with new friends,

1055
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, all football fans, and just relishing of the

1056
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: Bills of being in the spotlight. Yeah, that's a good

1057
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a good night. I get you.

1058
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: Um did Lindell? But did the Bills win that they

1059
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: didn't win? Did they win the game? They didn't? Did they? No?

1060
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: Lindell missed a field goal. I think so. Yeah, at

1061
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: the end, what's your I think they lost nineteen sixteen?

1062
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: What's the what's the low? Paul? December twenty sixteen when

1063
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers came over and ran all over no answer.

1064
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: That was the Levon Bell two hundred plus yard rushing

1065
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: game exactly. And after that game I pulled the Howard

1066
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:47,439
Speaker 1: Simon and shoveled the heck out of my driveway. Good one, Paul,

1067
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: That was good. That was good. Yeah, that was a

1068
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: bad game. Levon Bell ran for I want to say

1069
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:59,480

Speaker 1: twenty years from now, people are going to be able

1149

1153
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: was a seismic and because of the era in which

1154
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: we live and which had happened, everybody had a phone

1155
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,480

1163
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,440

Speaker 1: I mean I was a few drinks deep too at

1191
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,919

1255
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 1: to follow, but we're gonna give Joe and West the opportunity. Joe,

1256
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: what do you have for is you're on one Bill's Live. Well,

1257
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think I can top Shutting Generation,

1258
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 1: but I do have I do have a few things

1259
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: that I wanted to say. I mean, I don't know

1260
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: if it was brought up and this is just quick,

1261
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 1: but probably the most emotional one for me was what's

1262
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 1: the first Super Bowl? You know, the last kick and

1263
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 1: what have you? Because I was eight years old, and

1264
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 1: they said we would get the day off of school

1265
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 1: if if we won the Super Bowl. Oh wow, and

1266
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, and I was like more than anything. I

1267
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:31,640
Speaker 1: wasn't even really in sports. I was like, oh, I

1268
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: gotta go to school tomorrow. Uh. And it was it

1269
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 1: really crushed me. But probably the real though, football wise,

1270
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: was when um, you know, Flutie was in town and

1271
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,719
Speaker 1: doing so well and bringing us back and it seemed

1272
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 1: like we got some momentum going and then they pull

1273
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: him who was it, Waite Phillips, I think, well, it

1274
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 1: was Ralph Wilson's decision. We found out later it was

1275
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: mister Wilson's call to pull him out of the game

1276
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: and start Rob Johnson against the Tennessee Titans in the

1277
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: home run the road back game. Yeah, and and that

1278
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: one was just like ah. And then when we lost,

1279
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: it was it just you know, it hurt. And then uh.

1280
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: But then obviously my high has to be right about

1281
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: now because just the growth with this team and the

1282
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: fact that you know, we've gotten to the playoffs and

1283
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: now we looked like real contenders. And then I'm also

1284
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: it's fairly serendipitous that what we were in the super

1285
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Bowl last twenty five years ago, and uh, you know

1286
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: the first time we were in the super Bowl was

1287
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 1: twenty five to something about everything with you know, things

1288
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: going on with COVID. It's, uh, it's a good time

1289
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: to be a Bills fan. So yeah, it's in my

1290
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 1: high it's this entire season seeing them progress, seeing them grow,

1291
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: and just knowing there's something about them. Yeah, there's always

1292
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: something about them too. But plus the Tampa the super

1293
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: bowls back in Tampa Bay this season as well, which

1294
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: is where the Bills went to that first super Bowl.

1295
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: Then the first super Bowl was more than twenty five

1296
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 1: years ago. Nineteen ninety five was twenty five, it was

1297
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,719
Speaker 1: super Bowl twenty five. Ninety five was the last division title,

1298
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 1: right the super Bowl? Last super Bowl they were in

1299
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 1: was in ninety wound four, Yeah, ninety three season. Super

1300
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,720
Speaker 1: Bowl played in calendar year ninety four. Right, Yeah, but

1301
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. Yeah, there's a there's

1302
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 1: some there's some symmetry there, No question. Isn't amazing how

1303
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,560
Speaker 1: selfish you are when you're a kid. All he was

1304
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 1: worried about it, agight, was I don't want school the

1305
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: next day, I guess day office that was the that

1306
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: was the vested interest more than anything anything else. Wow. Uh,

1307
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 1: back to the phones. We go to, uh Tony and

1308
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,559
Speaker 1: Buffalo Tony, what do you have for us? You're on

1309
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,599
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live. Hey, guys, thank you for taking some

1310
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:34,679
Speaker 1: time to take my call. I appreciate it. Sure. Um.

1311
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 1: So I'll start with the low and I'll never forget this.

1312
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: Me and about six of my friends decided to take

1313
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: a road trip to Foxborough for the New England game. Okay,

1314
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: that's a nervy decision. Well a couple of believe it

1315
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: or not, a couple of my friends are huge Patriots fans.

1316
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: Oh man. Yeah, So we had a divided car to

1317
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: say the least, um, and we went there. It was

1318
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 1: just a very different experience. The tailgate was not like

1319
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:07,640
Speaker 1: it is here. It was just a different vibe. And uh,

1320
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: I remember being in the standing room only and that

1321
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: was a cool experience. And then just the game, it

1322
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 1: was up and down and just finally thinking, hey, we're

1323
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 1: actually gonna beat the Patriots. And then I'll never forget

1324
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:26,679
Speaker 1: the fumble when when McKelvin fumbled it. Yeah, and then

1325
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 1: it was the longest cow ride home of my life.

1326
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: I was so mad and and of course, you know,

1327
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teasing so going on in the car.

1328
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 1: But that's something that I'll never I'll never forget that.

1329
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: It was a fun trip. Yeah, that was. That was

1330
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: Monday night, two thousand and nine. I want to say

1331
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 1: it was the season opener. Um, I don't know why

1332
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 1: I want to say that. I want to say it

1333
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: was the season opener that Yeah, Aaron Schobel had a sack,

1334
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: strip fumble t D. Yeah, he did a super athletic play.

1335
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 1: And the Bills are up twenty four thirteen in the

1336
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: latter stages of the third quarter and they kick they

1337
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 1: kick it off to mcelvin after I think kicking a

1338
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:08,639
Speaker 1: field goal to make it twenty four. Third was later

1339
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:12,520
Speaker 1: than that. They kick off, they kick it off and yeah,

1340
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: it's Leotis with the butter hands. I was the sideline

1341
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:21,799
Speaker 1: reporter for Westwood Ones Radio national radio broadcast of that game. Yeah.

1342
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: The other interest, the other interesting thing about that game, Tony,

1343
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,600
Speaker 1: is that was Alex Van Pelt being thrust into the

1344
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator's chair after Turk Schooner was unceremoniously canned ten

1345
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:38,599
Speaker 1: days before the opener and Alex had to pick up

1346
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 1: the pieces and he called a good game. Yeah, he

1347
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: called a good game. They were in position to win

1348
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: that game. But what about your high there? Tony? Want

1349
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: to want to let you off without the high? Sure,

1350
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: and that's I mean the high. And I think it's

1351
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: probably some most people of who are my age, I'm

1352
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm thirty five. It was the ending of the drought.

1353
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that I'll never forget that moment,

1354
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: just because you know, I'm sitting there in my cousin's

1355
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: man cave with the people I watched Bills games with

1356
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: every single week, and we're like, oh, the Bengals need

1357
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 1: to score. They're not going to score. It's Andy Dalton,

1358
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: like we're done, we have no chance. And just remembering

1359
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: the throw, the catch, we have it on video, the

1360
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: celebration of all of us. It felt like that was

1361
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 1: our Super Bowl. As weird sound weird feeling, Yeah, No,

1362
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound weird at all, because you know, if

1363
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: you if you had been around that team that long,

1364
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I had been covering the team

1365
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: full time since ninety seven, part time since ninety five,

1366
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: and it was a long time coming, and it was

1367
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: almost like you pop the lid off of something and

1368
01:15:51,640 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: you just seventeen years of pent up energy, frustration, disappointment, heartbreak, tragedy,

1369
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: any negative word you can think of it all. It

1370
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 1: was like letting the air out of the balloon. It

1371
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 1: all got released and it was just easily the most

1372
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: euphoric moment of the you know, ending the drought. Almost

1373
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 1: every fan base goes through rough times, every all of

1374
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 1: them do. Before the before Bill Beliship got to New England,

1375
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 1: they were horrible for years and years on end, and

1376
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,640
Speaker 1: this fan base in Buffalo was the same for a

1377
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 1: long stretch there was no playoffs. And then it really

1378
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 1: strengthens your fanship for the team when you get rewarded

1379
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: like that for hanging in there through a tough stretch

1380
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: as long as that one was. You're some of these

1381
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: we've heard about it today their entire lives, and to

1382
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 1: get rewarded in the way that they did has got

1383
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 1: to be really satisfyed a season where those expectations did

1384
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 1: not exist at all. As you pointed out earlier in

1385
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 1: the show, Break time for us, but more of your

1400
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 1: what do you have for us Bill's High Low? Hey, guys,

1401
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,600
Speaker 1: thanks for taking the call. Sure, I'm gonna say that

1402
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 1: the Low was a music city miracle, had a brand

1403
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: new man cave and all my buddies were over and

1404
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 1: it was just unbelievable, and that you know, still this

1405
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: day I think about that that play. It stings, But

1406
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 1: the High the home opener an O three when Sam

1407
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: Adams picked off Brady and ran it in and we

1408
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 1: were right there. This would have been our twenty sixth

1409
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: year of a home open. Or My oldest brother lives

1410
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 1: in Dallas and he flies in every September for that game.

1411
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: And that was pretty memorable, that thirty one to nothing.

1412
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 1: You just gave me chills up my back because I

1413
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 1: remember that play vividly. I mean, Sam Adams was a

1414
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: big man and he went I mean he was around.

1415
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 1: It was around a thirty yard return. It wasn't like

1416
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: an easy five yards and you're in. I mean he

1417
01:18:56,520 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 1: had to run and he had a convoy on the nearest,

1418
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 1: the right sideline towards the tunnel end. And I still

1419
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: say to this day, I mean I've been in that

1420
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: building a lot when some big things have happened. That

1421
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 1: is easily top three loudest moments in that stadium. We

1422
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,760
Speaker 1: were in the old press box, still at midfield at

1423
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: that point they had moved us up to the upper

1424
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: corner yet and you felt the building shaking. It was shaking.

1425
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:31,679
Speaker 1: It was that loud. Yeah, that place, Yeah, that was yeah.

1426
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: It was Where were you seated, Brad at that game?

1427
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:37,600
Speaker 1: We were pretty close to the cyber He ran it

1428
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 1: back on. We were up I don't know, maybe twenty

1429
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: rows upper. So it was it was just awesome. It

1430
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 1: just everyone's knof was dropped. It was just I don't

1431
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 1: think I hugged so many strangers in my life. Yeah,

1432
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:52,719
Speaker 1: I believe it. Yeah, And that was, as we mentioned earlier,

1433
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:54,600
Speaker 1: that was the Lawyer Malloy game, his first game in

1434
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:57,720
Speaker 1: a Bill's uniform. He had got cut by the Patriots

1435
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:02,679
Speaker 1: that Tuesday sign the Bills played in the game started,

1436
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,080
Speaker 1: so it was him, it was bled. So there was

1437
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 1: a couple of former Patriots on the roster and they

1438
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:10,599
Speaker 1: just wiped the floor of them that day. And Brady

1439
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 1: threw four picks in that game. The Bills had two

1440
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 1: home wins against Tom Brady through that first decade and

1441
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: a half and before the win this season. Yeah, And

1442
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 1: it was in two thousand and three and then Week

1443
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,759
Speaker 1: three in two thousand and eleven, and in both games,

1444
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 1: Brady through four picks both of those games. Eight O

1445
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 1: three five fifty. The number to call. We're gonna go

1446
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 1: to Steve in Tonawanda. Steve, what do you have for us?

1447
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Thanks, How guys doing good? Um?

1448
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 1: I want to start off with my low. It would

1449
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: have to be back in two thousand and four, I

1450
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:52,280
Speaker 1: believe when the Bills had to beat the Steelers at home,

1451
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: and I believe the Steelers played a second and third stringers. Yeah,

1452
01:20:56,040 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 1: they didn't need the game. Yeah, and we lost. So

1453
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 1: that was gonna be my low. Now my high would

1454
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,639
Speaker 1: have to be. Um. I think of the year it was,

1455
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,680
Speaker 1: Uh was when the Bills beat the Patriots for the

1456
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:16,800
Speaker 1: last second field goal. Um yeah, and um Drake and

1457
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:20,880
Speaker 1: Florence Pick One ran it back for touch I believe, Um,

1458
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 1: that was just unbelievable. The Bill's mafia was loud as

1459
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 1: all can be. Uh. Fred Jackson was running around the

1460
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: field waving the flag. It was just awesome to see. Um.

1461
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: So those are my high school Yeah. The players were

1462
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 1: taking victory lapse after that game. Um, it was. It

1463
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 1: was a sea of humanity. And I think what had

1464
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 1: added to it was, yeah, the high of beating you know,

1465
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 1: the vaunted Patriots, the hated Patriots, they always win the game. Patriots.

1466
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:54,679
Speaker 1: You finally beat him here at home. But the team

1467
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 1: was also three and zero. That was the other part

1468
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: of it that that made it exciting. And Fred was

1469
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 1: having a dynamic year and would have easily gone to

1470
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 1: his first Pro Bowl had he not broken his leg

1471
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: later in the season, which kind of derailed you know,

1472
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 1: he broke his leg, Fitz had that fracture rib that

1473
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 1: he suffered midseason, and the season went downhill fast. But

1474
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: it was crazy. People were I'm telling you, the players

1475
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 1: took a victory lap for that game. Yeah, that was

1476
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,600
Speaker 1: a It was big. It was big because that was

1477
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, you had a monkey on your back then. Well,

1478
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 1: and think about how that year started Week one at

1479
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City forty one to seven. I mean, the Bill's

1480
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 1: whitewashed the Chiefs. Week two, thirty eight thirty five, they

1481
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 1: beat the Raiders in a shootout, and then they and

1482
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 1: then they beat the Patriots. I mean, people were over

1483
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: the moon, over the moon, oh my goodness. Yeah. And

1484
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: that's one thing. You'd see some of that this year

1485
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 1: with this team and what they've done in some of

1486
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: the moments they've had with the Seattle game, with the

1487
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:07,759
Speaker 1: Rams game, with you know, the Jet whoever. You would

1488
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 1: see some of that and here's some of that noise

1489
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 1: and feel some of it in the stadium. This year.

1490
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 1: You'd have a half a dozen moments like that. But

1491
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 1: that's one thing that stinks is because now that they're

1492
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 1: back in it and all this stuff's kind of getting

1493
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 1: washed away, and all these awful records and all these

1494
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,879
Speaker 1: awful aspects of your history are getting washed away and broken.

1495
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:30,040
Speaker 1: Nobody's there to see. Nobody's there to create new nobody's there. Yeah,

1496
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: nobody's there to create a memory. That's said, just as good.

1497
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to Ronnie and williams Ville. Ronnie, what do

1498
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: you have for us? Yes, sir, thank you all for

1499
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: taking the calls. I'd like to thank Steve for all

1500
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 1: the wonderful memories he gave me back in the nineties

1501
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: and the eighties with the Bills. Those were fond memories

1502
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: of mine growing up fun for me too, but those

1503
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: years were great. I love them. I've been a fan

1504
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 1: of the Bills in the NFL since nineteen eighty when

1505
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: my father introduced me to it, and my low I

1506
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: will tell you though it started in ninety one we

1507
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 1: moved to Texas, the Dallas area, and that's up to

1508
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 1: last year. That was the low point in my life

1509
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:14,639
Speaker 1: being a Bills fan, having to deal with Cowboys fans

1510
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 1: living there and always wearing my Bill stuff. It was

1511
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: just a low point. They just would not leave me alone.

1512
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: But last year here comes the high point up up

1513
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 1: until that game against the Cowboys when we completely turned

1514
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: their season around. I mean, that was the high point

1515
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:34,679
Speaker 1: for me. It shut everybody in that area up. Yeah.

1516
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 1: And the best part was it was on the Thanksgiving

1517
01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:40,760
Speaker 1: Day stage. Everybody saw the game. Oh yeah. I went

1518
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboy Christmas deal a week later and

1519
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:49,719
Speaker 1: I had all my bill bills I was getting. They

1520
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: left me alone, and I'll just I'll tell you that

1521
01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: was one of the greatest feelings, just to hear it

1522
01:24:56,320 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 1: for the last thirty years in Dallas from up them

1523
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: beating up on us. Yea in the last twenty five though, Man,

1524
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: who was having to deal with that up until you know,

1525
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: we quieted that fan based really quickly. Yeah. No, that

1526
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,679
Speaker 1: that was a really good feeling. Awesome. Yeah, that's good

1527
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: because I hadn't thought about that but that game and

1528
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 1: we have somebody mentioned it. But to have that come

1529
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: back up and being down there and having to live

1530
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 1: in Dallas and then having the Bills go in and

1531
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 1: do what they did to them on on Thanksgiving was

1532
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. My wife's got cousins that are down

1533
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: in San San Antonio. They're you know, they're retired military

1534
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:35,639
Speaker 1: and they've been Bills fans forever, and they're like, it's

1535
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 1: it ain't easy living in Texas being a Bills fan. Yeah,

1536
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:42,799
Speaker 1: but they stuck with it for years and they actually

1537
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 1: went to that game last year. They drove in from

1538
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: San Antonio to Arlington to to take in that game.

1539
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: On Thanksgiving Day, they did their own Thanksgiving in the

1540
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 1: parking lot. Yeah, the whole deal, and they got rewarded.

1541
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 1: It sounds like a sun I rewarded for it. It

1542
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,719
Speaker 1: sounds like a cross state drive San Antonio to Dallas.

1543
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 1: It's a hike. Yeah, it's I think it's like four hours.

1544
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 1: They hit traffic too, Yeah, thinking on ten. They hit

1545
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 1: traffic bad because I was supposed to meet up with him,

1546
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: say hello, and it never happened. Driving from Houston, Texas

1547
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:12,839
Speaker 1: to San Angelo for training camp when I was an oiler,

1548
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, ten hours across one state. Ten hours and

1577
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 1: for me was down here when Buffalo came down here

1578
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,680
Speaker 1: in the Miami. They played a Monday night game. I

1579
01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 1: used to drive a minibus for executives to the game

1580
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: and the Ford Motor Company. And one year, just I

1581
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:21,360
Speaker 1: forget the year, Steve right now, Uh, Jim Kelly went

1582
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 1: over the snuck it in from about the insight the

1583
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: three yard line to beat O. That was. It wasn't

1584
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: a Monday night game, it was. It was nineteen eighty nine,

1585
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 1: first game of the season. And who is it somebody

1586
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 1: picked up somebody through a marino threw a pass or

1587
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,519
Speaker 1: somebody they caught it and a defender pulled the ball

1588
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 1: right out of his hands for Buffalo. Yeah, that was.

1589
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 1: That was Oakland Week two or three, Sunday night football

1590
01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. It was Nate Odams Man. I tell

1591
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,639
Speaker 1: you those are my highs and lows, guys. Yeah, there's

1592
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 1: gonna be even a higher one right there. Thanks brother,

1593
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,559
Speaker 1: the way to fill in the planks there, Steve. He

1594
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 1: was a little off with his dates and opponents, and

1595
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 1: that was Nate Odin's ripped out of Willie Golf's hands

1596
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 1: and went in for two. Willie Golf. Now you're talking

1597
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:11,560
Speaker 1: about a guy there eighty five bears, but he was

1598
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 1: on Oakland at that point. But yeah, really Gold tackled

1599
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 1: me one time. Believe it or not. That guy could run. Man,

1600
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,719
Speaker 1: he tackled me. He caught me. That's that guy could run.

1601
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:24,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dave and Buffalo. Dave, what do you

1602
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 1: have for us? High and low? Hey guys? Uh yeah,

1603
01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:29,880
Speaker 1: real quick, I'll give him my high and low. And

1604
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: then I got a side those story. You gotta hear.

1605
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:36,320
Speaker 1: The high would be um half half time at the

1606
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: Bills Raiders looking at my buddy and disbelief. I said, man,

1607
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:44,320
Speaker 1: we're in the Super Bowl and it was over at half,

1608
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, and then the law, of course was the

1609
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:52,719
Speaker 1: missfield goal. That was heartbreaking. And uh so the Tennessee

1610
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 1: Titan mag uniting game. I just wanted to say. I

1611
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:58,120
Speaker 1: met my girlfriend at the Titan Festival in the summer

1612
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:01,640
Speaker 1: and we're watching that game at a friend's house. She

1613
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 1: went out to smoke right after the bill scored and

1614
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:08,160
Speaker 1: they were about to kick it off. Right she's knocking

1615
01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 1: on the door. I said, don't let her in. She's

1616
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:13,680
Speaker 1: a Jinks. She walks by the TV. They run it back,

1617
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:16,640
Speaker 1: so she always had that label, the Jinks back for

1618
01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 1: two raiders. Tampa Bay Super Bowl. We had a square

1619
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,439
Speaker 1: with my buddy, two and to one, terrible numbers. He

1620
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:25,680
Speaker 1: ripped up the sheet. I says, you never know. We're

1621
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,760
Speaker 1: getting safeties missed. Next two points. The numbers are going

1622
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 1: our way. We got the jackpot ten seconds left, two

1623
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:35,760
Speaker 1: to one. She goes to smoke. I said, don't let

1624
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 1: her in. She walks in, walks by the TV. There

1625
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 1: goes fifteen thousand controls the interception and they run it

1626
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 1: back for six points the other way. So that's my head. Yeah, alright,

1627
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 1: so here, so here is the all important question, Dave.

1628
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:55,719
Speaker 1: The all important question is is the girlfriends still around?

1629
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:59,840
Speaker 1: She's still around? Yes, sir? Oh wow, Well I guess

1630
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 1: I guess you won that bet. That was the only

1631
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 1: bet you won though. There you go, yeah, yeah, I

1632
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,640
Speaker 1: will in the end, I did wind up winning. You

1633
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:08,240
Speaker 1: are absolutely correct. Well, there you go all right, good

1634
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:12,480
Speaker 1: call day if we appreciate it. Uh, yeah, that's uh,

1635
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 1: that's a doozy. Fifteen fifty have somebody fifteen grand. That's

1636
01:31:18,680 --> 01:31:20,680
Speaker 1: a tough one. Well, there's a yeah, there's a lot

1637
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:23,680
Speaker 1: of bad There's a lot a lot, a lot of

1638
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:26,120
Speaker 1: bad beats out there over the last two years. So

1639
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 1: let's go to Joe's not get into that. I don't

1640
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 1: want to hear. I don't want to hear your bad beat.

1641
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:31,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to Joe in Attica. Joe, what do you

1643
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:40,120
Speaker 1: you know the highs and lows. You know, I think

1644
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 1: the biggest low for me is just watching Buffalo's uh

1645
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 1: revolving door of bad quarterback over the last Yeah, can

1646
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: run down the list. Yeah, I let's not do that.

1647
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:55,200
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I guess I guess. One question

1648
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:57,599
Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys is you know national

1649
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:01,799
Speaker 1: media is starting to pick Fellow as a Super Bowl

1650
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 1: entrance this year. So it's nice to get the love

1651
01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:11,160
Speaker 1: from the national media for once. I mean, I'm excited

1652
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: about it. How do you guys feel about it? Yeah,

1653
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean I don't I don't mind it it's nice

1654
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:17,720
Speaker 1: to see the team finally get some recognition, and it

1655
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 1: looked like the win over the Steelers was what kind

1656
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 1: of helped people get get around to saying, Okay, yeah,

1657
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,040
Speaker 1: this team is legitimate. But I think a lot of

1658
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:29,280
Speaker 1: people felt that way, at least, you know, the people

1659
01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:31,679
Speaker 1: that watch this team every week felt that way even

1660
01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:33,479
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks prior to that. I mean, Steve's

1661
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 1: been banging the drum here, even when Bills fans have

1662
01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 1: been cautiously optimistic saying, hey, enjoy this team. You've got

1663
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:43,479
Speaker 1: a good team. The Bills are a good team. Enjoy it.

1664
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,200
Speaker 1: Steve's been banging that drum for like three weeks now. Yeah.

1665
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's good that they're getting some

1666
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:54,120
Speaker 1: national recognition. In some respect, they've earned it. And even

1667
01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:56,320
Speaker 1: if you're just going by the standings, they're the third

1668
01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 1: best team in the AFC. That makes you a contender. Yeah,

1669
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:03,120
Speaker 1: And they's hard earned because most of the national people

1670
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:04,519
Speaker 1: who don't have time to look at all the teams,

1671
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: they keep pushing buffalof thing and we they're gonna lose

1672
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:08,000
Speaker 1: this game, or they're gonna lose this game, or they're

1673
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: gonna lose this next game or the next game they're

1674
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:11,599
Speaker 1: gonna the Niners are gonna beat them, or the Steelers

1675
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 1: are gonna beat them. And they're just impossible to ignore.

1676
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:19,160
Speaker 1: They got one loss out of their last what seven games,

1677
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:24,639
Speaker 1: They're tough to ignore. So yeah, it's gonna continue as

1678
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:26,720
Speaker 1: long as they keep winning. And I'm sure it'll take

1679
01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:28,479
Speaker 1: a big dip they if they've taken on the Chin

1680
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:30,439
Speaker 1: in Denver this week, there'll be some people that will

1681
01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:33,719
Speaker 1: write them completely off. And I know how silly that sounds,

1682
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,599
Speaker 1: but they will. So the media is kind of fuddled

1683
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 1: and they go buy wins and losses without looking that

1684
01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:42,360
Speaker 1: much deeper into it. So you can bet that the

1685
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 1: national media love for the Bills is gonna last as

1686
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:48,320
Speaker 1: long as they keep winning. Yeah, break time for us,

1687
01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:52,160
Speaker 1: But when we return NFL Networks James Palmer joins us

1688
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:55,519

Speaker 1: a playoff earth a division title. Catch up with James

1691
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 1: when we return here on One Bill's Live presented by

01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 1: Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills, Radiolo Hills Radio Network Sports

1693
01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 1: your sports update from one Bill's drive coach mcderman made

1694
01:34:24,120 --> 01:34:26,599
Speaker 1: an official this morning. Wide receiver John Brown will not

1695
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:30,719
Speaker 1: play Saturday against the Broncos. Brown was designated to return

1696
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 1: from IR and did return to practice this week, but

1697
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:36,599
Speaker 1: he has missed the last three games with an ankle injury.

1698
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 1: Safety Jaquan Johnson also with an ankle injury. He too

1699
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:44,640
Speaker 1: has been deemed out for Saturday's game against Denver. Broncos

1700
01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 1: coach Vic Fangio said today both running back Melvin Gordon

1701
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 1: and Philip Lindsay will be listed as questionable for Saturday's

1702
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:53,680
Speaker 1: game against the Bills, and Fangio said quote as it

1703
01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:57,599
Speaker 1: stands now, Brandon McManus their kicker would not be available

1704
01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:00,120
Speaker 1: due to COVID nineteen protocols as he was deemed to

1705
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:02,320
Speaker 1: be a close contact this week. They do have a

1706
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 1: kicker on the practice squad, Taylor Russelino. Week fifteen kicks

1707
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:08,800
Speaker 1: off tonight with Thursday Night Football featuring an AFC West

1708
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:11,640
Speaker 1: battle between the Raiders and Chargers. Las Vegas looking to

1709
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 1: stay in the AFC playoff race, but they'll be without

1710
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:16,639
Speaker 1: wide receiver Henry Ruggs, who was placed on the reserve

1711
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: COVID list, while the league's owners did not vote to

1712
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:21,639
Speaker 1: add a seventeenth game to the twenty twenty one regular

1713
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:25,920
Speaker 1: season during Wednesday's virtual meeting. They did agree to procedures

1714
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:28,760
Speaker 1: for a seventeenth regular season game for each of the

1715
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 1: thirty two clubs, if and when the NFL adds such

1716
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,639
Speaker 1: a game to the schedule. The new CBA, ratified in March,

1717
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:36,800
Speaker 1: gave owners the option to expand the regular season to

1718
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:40,439
Speaker 1: seventeen games as early as twenty twenty. One Giants are

1719
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 1: going to be without offensive coordinator Jason Garrett for Sunday

1720
01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:46,200
Speaker 1: Night's game against the Browns. The team announced that today

1721
01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:50,479
Speaker 1: as Garrett tested positive for COVID nineteen. With Garrett working

1722
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:53,879
Speaker 1: remotely for the time being, tight ends coach and former

1723
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 1: Brown's head coach Freddie Kitchens, they'll serve as the team's

1724
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:03,560
Speaker 1: offensive play caller against his club, Freddy the Cable Guy

1725
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 1: back in the saddle. They also could be without quarterback

1726
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:09,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, however, who's dealing with hip and ankle injuries.

1727
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:12,559
Speaker 1: That is your sports update from One Bill's Drive. Chris

1728
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:15,360
Speaker 1: Brown Steve Tasker with you, broadcasting live from the Seneca

1729
01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 1: Studios in Orchard Park, our number three of the program

1730
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:21,719
Speaker 1: and joining us now from NFL Network. The man who's

1731
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 1: going to be doing some pregame coverage of this Saturday

1732
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 1: afternoon game between the Bills and Broncos. One, James Palmer,

1733
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:31,360
Speaker 1: joins us here on the program. James, how you doing?

1734
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:33,719
Speaker 1: First question? How are you and your family doing? Everybody

1735
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:37,839
Speaker 1: well here during this pandemic, Chris, I appreciate you asking

1736
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,160
Speaker 1: before I get to the family. I feel grossly overdressed,

1737
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 1: but that's a great start. I will be bundled up

1738
01:36:42,240 --> 01:36:44,920
Speaker 1: tomorrow outside of Mile High Stadium, so might as well

1739
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:47,640
Speaker 1: wear the sport coat now because tomorrow will probably be

1740
01:36:48,080 --> 01:36:50,519
Speaker 1: bundled up pretty good in the snow that has fallen

1741
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:52,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. And I appreciate asked by

1742
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:55,559
Speaker 1: the family. Everybody's great. We're virtual learning here at the house.

1743
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:57,600
Speaker 1: So while I'm in the basement doing live TV for

1744
01:36:57,720 --> 01:37:00,600
Speaker 1: NFL Network regularly, I'm hearing you, know, umping up and

1745
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 1: down while my son is in elementary school pe class.

1746
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:07,800
Speaker 1: I feel you're paying bro, I know exactly. I know

1747
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: that's the best. That's great. So you tell us a

1748
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:12,800
Speaker 1: little bit about what you've found out so far about

1749
01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 1: these two teams and early your early returns on what

1750
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:19,080
Speaker 1: this matchup may look like. I think there's two main

1751
01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 1: points we want to look at. Right, we look at

1752
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:23,559
Speaker 1: how good this Denver Broncos defense is in the red zone.

1753
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:25,559
Speaker 1: Number one in the NFL. I think that should be

1754
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:28,599
Speaker 1: a massive credit to Vic Fangio, one of the best

1755
01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 1: defensive minds in all of football. With all the guys

1756
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 1: they've lost in the secondary, all the guys they've lost

1757
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 1: on the defensive line. Actually joke with Bradley Chubb this

1758
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 1: week when him and I were on the phone, I said,

1759
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 1: if I would have told you, guys, you would have

1760
01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 1: lost all these players and you'd still be number one

1761
01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 1: in red zone defense, tenth against the past. What would

1762
01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 1: you say, was, man, if you told me all those names,

1763
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 1: I would have been like, no, there's no way that

1764
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:50,320
Speaker 1: has happened. You're joking with me. But that's what's happened,

1765
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 1: and that's how good they are down at the red zone.

1766
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,000
Speaker 1: Him they lost so many guys, and we know how

1767
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:57,400
Speaker 1: dynamic Josh Allen is utilizing his arm and his legs

1768
01:37:57,439 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 1: down the red zone. So that's one big aspect that

1769
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking for to seeing in this matchup. And then

1770
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:03,439
Speaker 1: the other part is the kind of the quarterbacks, because

1771
01:38:03,479 --> 01:38:05,240
Speaker 1: I do kind of compare them quite a bit that

1772
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:08,040
Speaker 1: trained together in the offseason. I feel like Drew Locke

1773
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:10,400
Speaker 1: is just, you know, a little bit behind Josh in

1774
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:12,760
Speaker 1: terms of getting into the league and then trying to

1775
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:16,559
Speaker 1: find his footing and learning from someone like Josh Allen

1776
01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 1: about that. It can take some time, but eventually you

1777
01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:21,439
Speaker 1: can turn it in to being a potential MVP candidate.

1778
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:23,240
Speaker 1: So seeing Drew Locke go out there and seeing if

1779
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:25,360
Speaker 1: he can play well the same way he did a

1780
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 1: week ago playing brilliantly against the Panthers, try to go

1781
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 1: head to head with Josh Allen, those are two main

1782
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:32,759
Speaker 1: things I'm really looking at. Yeah, it looks like Locke

1783
01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:37,880
Speaker 1: has finally tapped into being more willing to take the

1784
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:41,320
Speaker 1: check down, and I think we saw a sharp spike

1785
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:43,719
Speaker 1: in his completion percentage as a result of that against

1786
01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 1: Carolina last week. Are the what is the coaching staff

1787
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:53,120
Speaker 1: saying about his willingness to maybe look more deeply into

1788
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:55,639
Speaker 1: that part of the game and take the easy completion

1789
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:58,040
Speaker 1: when it's presented to him instead of trying to get

1790
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:01,720
Speaker 1: it all in one play. You know, the biggest thing

1791
01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:03,519
Speaker 1: that people probably would ask is why has it taken

1792
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:05,400
Speaker 1: this long, right, why are we this deep into the

1793
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 1: season and now we're getting this chance to see Drew

1794
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:10,599
Speaker 1: Locke do these things. Well, One, it's a new offensive system.

1795
01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: The kid has had a different offensive coordinator every year

1796
01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:15,120
Speaker 1: since his sophomore year of college. That's not how you

1797
01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:16,760
Speaker 1: really want to play at this level, but that's what

1798
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:18,760
Speaker 1: he's had to deal with. So he's just getting to

1799
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 1: know Pat Shermer and how they call these games for him,

1800
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:23,400
Speaker 1: and then too, everybody who around him that he's throwing

1801
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:26,639
Speaker 1: the football too. After they lost Courtland Sutton, their star receiver,

1802
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 1: who many people in that building I've talked to believe

1803
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 1: is the best player on that team, and that includes

1804
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:33,600
Speaker 1: Von Miller. That's how good they think Courtland Sutton is.

1805
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:36,000
Speaker 1: Are all rookies are second year players. So getting this

1806
01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:38,320
Speaker 1: on the same page and getting this through to Drew Locke,

1807
01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:40,840
Speaker 1: he admitted that this is the toughest thing he's had

1808
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:43,680
Speaker 1: to do at the NFL level is not be so aggressive.

1809
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:46,320
Speaker 1: He has no fear, great quality, but he loves to

1810
01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: push the ball downfield. We know that's what John Elway

1811
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:51,080
Speaker 1: loved about him. At the same time, now we're aren't

1812
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:53,240
Speaker 1: to see the games start to slow down a little

1813
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:55,479
Speaker 1: bit for him. He's only played fifteen total games in

1814
01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 1: his NFL career. He's starting to see some of these

1815
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:00,559
Speaker 1: things come together. If you take the check down, then

1816
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: the big plays will come. And I think it's starting

1817
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:04,720
Speaker 1: to find its way a little bit. And hopefully he

1818
01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 1: has the same offensive coordinator for two years in a

1819
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 1: row to help him grow a little bit more after

1820
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 1: this season. One of the things that the Broncos have

1821
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 1: been criticized falls at the feet of John Elway, and

1822
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 1: if Drew Locke comes through, I mean, this decade long

1823
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:21,800
Speaker 1: search that Elway's been on for their quarterback to replace him,

1824
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:24,320
Speaker 1: it probably may come to an end with Drew Locke.

1825
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:26,840
Speaker 1: Does that take the heat off of Elway or is

1826
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:30,760
Speaker 1: there other things that are contributing to it as well? Well? Guys,

1827
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 1: it is interesting. I mean, you don't you have an

1828
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:36,320
Speaker 1: organization with really no acting owner right now. Joe Ellis

1829
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:38,760
Speaker 1: is in that role, but they have ownership kind of

1830
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:41,400
Speaker 1: issues with where that's going to go with Pat Boland's

1831
01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:43,599
Speaker 1: children kind of having a little bit of a dispute.

1832
01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:45,479
Speaker 1: What's happening. So John Elway and Joelis and here a

1833
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,639
Speaker 1: larger role about running this organization that has won so

1834
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:50,680
Speaker 1: much in its history. So there is some heats of

1835
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 1: you're right on, John Elway with the way things have

1836
01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:55,320
Speaker 1: gone over these last several years. I mean, a couple

1837
01:40:55,280 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 1: of years ago, you could say, and this was a

1838
01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:01,200
Speaker 1: great quote about the Denver Broncos. They had more Super

1839
01:41:01,200 --> 01:41:04,800
Speaker 1: Bowl appearances than losing seasons in their franchise's history. That's

1840
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:07,759
Speaker 1: a remarkable stat to say. But after the last couple

1841
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:10,679
Speaker 1: of years, obviously that's no longer able to be said.

1842
01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: And so there is a lot of the heat at

1843
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback spot, specifically him being one of the greatest

1844
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:17,559
Speaker 1: ever do it having such an issue since the departure

1845
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 1: of Peyton Manning finding the right guy. They thought it

1846
01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:23,240
Speaker 1: was Drew Locke, and after Way he went four and

1847
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 1: one at the end of last season. They had no

1848
01:41:25,439 --> 01:41:28,799
Speaker 1: interest in Cam Newton, they had no interest in Jamis Winston.

1849
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 1: They wanted him to go in to this season with

1850
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: no competition, knowing that he was the leader of this

1851
01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:37,439
Speaker 1: team and he was their guy. I think it's taken

1852
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, but I think there needs to

1853
01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:41,360
Speaker 1: be patience in Denver. That is not one thing that

1854
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:44,759
Speaker 1: we have seen over the years with this organization patients

1855
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:47,240
Speaker 1: being one of them with head coaches and with quarterbacks.

1856
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen is a great example, like I said,

1857
01:41:50,080 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 1: of showing if you do it the right way, you

1858
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:55,000
Speaker 1: see the maturation process. Everybody doesn't turn out to be

1859
01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:58,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes in the first year. Drew Locke just admitted

1860
01:41:58,160 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 1: this week it's starting to slow down for him. So

1861
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 1: he has done everything with the game at an unbelievable pace.

1862
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:05,479
Speaker 1: So I think they want to see how he finishes

1863
01:42:05,479 --> 01:42:08,679
Speaker 1: out this season. But shaking another quarterback change would obviously

1864
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:11,680
Speaker 1: raceive a lot more questions. The Broncos were kind of

1865
01:42:11,720 --> 01:42:14,519
Speaker 1: part of an AFC West movement in the draft this

1866
01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:18,800
Speaker 1: past spring. James with I viewed it as trying to

1867
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:21,800
Speaker 1: keep up with Kansas City, and you know, understandably, so,

1868
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,479
Speaker 1: I mean, they're the standard bearer right now, not only

1869
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 1: in the AFC but in the entire league, and you

1870
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 1: got to play him twice a year. But I kind

1871
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 1: of looked at what Oakland. I'm still saying Oakland, Las Vegas,

1872
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 1: that's all right. I'm still looking at what Las Vegas

1873
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 1: and what Denver did in the draft, adding speed at

1874
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:41,799
Speaker 1: the receiver position. Trying to make their offenses as fast

1875
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 1: or comparably fast speed on the field to that that

1876
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:48,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City has has done to large measure over the

1877
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:52,080
Speaker 1: last couple of years with the additions that they have made. Obviously,

1878
01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 1: Judy is not known as a burner, but he is

1879
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:57,280
Speaker 1: a route running I mean, he's a route running pro

1880
01:42:57,479 --> 01:43:00,639
Speaker 1: even as a rookie. And Hamdler does have speed out

1881
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:03,320
Speaker 1: of the slot. So you think about all the athletes

1882
01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:09,559
Speaker 1: that when they're finally all healthy across the board, Sutton, Fant, Hamdler, Judy,

1883
01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:11,280
Speaker 1: when they get all four of those players on the

1884
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:15,000
Speaker 1: field finally healthy, presumably not until next season, that's gonna

1885
01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:17,200
Speaker 1: be a that's gonna be a track meet type group.

1886
01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:20,960
Speaker 1: It really is. And you know, Stefan Digg said it

1887
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:23,679
Speaker 1: this week is obviously his brother played with Jerry Judy

1888
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 1: at Alabama. He knows kJ Handler and he was like,

1889
01:43:26,160 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, overreach this, but that's

1890
01:43:28,240 --> 01:43:30,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a damn good duo between kJ Hamler and

1891
01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy. And I've always and anybody asked me about

1892
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:34,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos when I'm doing one of their games, is

1893
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,639
Speaker 1: I'm more into twenty twenty one than twenty twenty. I mean,

1894
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:39,880
Speaker 1: so many people I talked to around the league were

1895
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:43,840
Speaker 1: certain positions with this offseason, we're just gonna be unbelievably

1896
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: difficult for rookies. Obviously some guys have succeeded, but wide receiver, center,

1897
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:52,000
Speaker 1: tight end, those are all types of positions. Obviously quarterback

1898
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:55,559
Speaker 1: with the offseason that would be very difficult for rookies.

1899
01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 1: The Broncos have a rookie center, the Broncos are relying

1900
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 1: on rookie wide receivers, and this was gonna take some time,

1901
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:03,200
Speaker 1: but you're right, it's gonna be a really, really good group.

1902
01:44:03,240 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fast, they're gonna be able to throw

1903
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:07,880
Speaker 1: the football all over the place what they wanted to do,

1904
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:10,639
Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to see this on Saturday's. Run

1905
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:12,680
Speaker 1: the football more to take some of the pressure off

1906
01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:15,080
Speaker 1: of Drew Lock. We've seen this offense work at its best,

1907
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 1: like last week when they are balanced. And we mentioned

1908
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:20,519
Speaker 1: I heard you coming in, Chris about Melvin Gordon and

1909
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:22,960
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay. My understanding is they're both gonna play. They'd

1910
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:25,960
Speaker 1: like them to run the football more consistently and then

1911
01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:28,639
Speaker 1: take their shots. But you're right, all those names we mentioned,

1912
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 1: and Tim Patrick throw his name in there as well.

1913
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:32,799
Speaker 1: He might not be a household name around the league,

1914
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 1: he is a really good wide receiver that's filled in

1915
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:37,559
Speaker 1: for Courtland Sutton. This could be a dynamic group in

1916
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. They just got to hope they hit

1917
01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. Yeah, and he's talking about the quarterback.

1918
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:44,240
Speaker 1: What are some if there is one reason, or maybe

1919
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:47,479
Speaker 1: one overwriting reason, why has Locke struggled with interceptions? He's

1920
01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:50,160
Speaker 1: got a ton of them, almost as many interceptions as

1921
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:53,360
Speaker 1: touchdown or at least before last week, what do they

1922
01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:56,360
Speaker 1: say about why he throws the football to the other team.

1923
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:00,400
Speaker 1: A lot of it's is decision making. A lot of

1924
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:02,320
Speaker 1: it is the speed of the game. And the best

1925
01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:04,479
Speaker 1: part about Lock that I've heard with people that have

1926
01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:07,080
Speaker 1: worked with him is he does learn very quickly from

1927
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:09,360
Speaker 1: his mistakes. He's not one of these quarterbacks and there

1928
01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:12,200
Speaker 1: are ones out there that lie to themselves, that don't

1929
01:45:12,200 --> 01:45:14,880
Speaker 1: want to admit when they make their mistakes. He's made them.

1930
01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 1: He has tried to learn from them. He understands his issues.

1931
01:45:17,680 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 1: But the decision making in the spot he's been put

1932
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:21,880
Speaker 1: in with some of these picks has been an issue.

1933
01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:25,400
Speaker 1: They've gotten behind early. I believe it's sixteen maybe seventeen

1934
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 1: straight games now they've gone without scoring on their opening possession.

1935
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:31,120
Speaker 1: They get behind, he has to throw the football much

1936
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:34,200
Speaker 1: more than they originally would like. And then you look

1937
01:45:34,200 --> 01:45:35,920
Speaker 1: at some of the injuries that have happened on the

1938
01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:39,000
Speaker 1: offensive line, he's been under duress. Where you see him

1939
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:40,880
Speaker 1: make most of his mistakes is when he tries to

1940
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 1: create outside of the pocket and he tries to make

1941
01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:45,200
Speaker 1: something happen. This is the same thing we see with

1942
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks, right Carson Wentz is the first

1943
01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:49,280
Speaker 1: one that really comes to mind is when you try

1944
01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:51,680
Speaker 1: to extend the play and do extra things, that's when

1945
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:53,840
Speaker 1: a lot of times you make mistakes and you do

1946
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:56,960
Speaker 1: something out of character. And that's one thing he's trying

1947
01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:59,680
Speaker 1: to change, not to force things, not to play out

1948
01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:01,479
Speaker 1: of character. And I think that's when most of them

1949
01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 1: have happened, because they've been behind a lot of these games,

1950
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:05,479
Speaker 1: so they're trying to come back. And I don't want

1951
01:46:05,479 --> 01:46:07,240
Speaker 1: to give that as an excuse for the interceptions because

1952
01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:10,600
Speaker 1: it's inexcusable. Because last week no picks, but still was

1953
01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 1: sacked for a fumble. And that led to points. So

1954
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:14,840
Speaker 1: his issues turning the football over and as good as

1955
01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:17,600
Speaker 1: the Bills are at creating turnovers as a defense, that

1956
01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:20,200
Speaker 1: is a bad recipe for the Denver Broncos. That is

1957
01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:22,439
Speaker 1: something Drew Locke needs to fix. And Pat Chremer said

1958
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:24,120
Speaker 1: this morning their offensive coordinate, if we don't turn the

1959
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:26,439
Speaker 1: ball over this much, we score more points, and that's

1960
01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:29,120
Speaker 1: one of their biggest issues. Talking to NFL Networks, James

1961
01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:31,439
Speaker 1: Palmer will be part of the pregame coverage on NFL

1962
01:46:31,479 --> 01:46:35,640
Speaker 1: Network Saturday for the Bills Broncos game late in the afternoon,

1963
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,800
Speaker 1: And James, you touched on it already, the fact that

1964
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:41,040
Speaker 1: you know some of the coaches you spoke with about

1965
01:46:41,040 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 1: the losses on the back end defensively have been notable.

1966
01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:47,400
Speaker 1: And you know they lose two more guys for the

1967
01:46:47,439 --> 01:46:49,719
Speaker 1: rest of the season in Duke Dawson and Kevin Tolliver

1968
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:53,000
Speaker 1: this past week. We already know about the aj Bouye suspension,

1969
01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:56,600
Speaker 1: so he's not available. We know the Bills use a

1970
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:59,320
Speaker 1: lot of eleven and ten personnel where they go four

1971
01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:03,160
Speaker 1: wide and say hey, how deep, how deep is your

1972
01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:06,200
Speaker 1: cornerback contingent? We already know it's not deep in Denver

1973
01:47:06,280 --> 01:47:08,360
Speaker 1: due to lack of availability. How are they going to

1974
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:10,719
Speaker 1: line up against these guys when they go four wide.

1975
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:13,920
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the biggest part of it. And most

1976
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:16,240
Speaker 1: of this is going to fall on their two safeties

1977
01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:18,760
Speaker 1: who are really really good. I mean, Justin Simmons and

1978
01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 1: Kareem Jackson is one of the better safety duos in

1979
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 1: the league and they're kind of the reason that this

1980
01:47:23,320 --> 01:47:26,280
Speaker 1: secondary hasn't fallen completely apart. And you're right, And the

1981
01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:29,719
Speaker 1: name that also to me comes up big is Bryce Callahan,

1982
01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:32,679
Speaker 1: who was a really, really good slot corner. It looks

1983
01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 1: to me like he's not going to play the rest

1984
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:36,439
Speaker 1: of this season with another foot issue. He was having

1985
01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:39,360
Speaker 1: a fantastic year. And what Cole Beasley would be able

1986
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:42,120
Speaker 1: to do without Bryce Callahan on the field, to me,

1987
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:45,719
Speaker 1: seems like a massive mismatch. They just brought back Will Parks,

1988
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:48,320
Speaker 1: who's kind of a safety slash corner can kind of

1989
01:47:48,320 --> 01:47:50,960
Speaker 1: do everything in their secondary after he was released by

1990
01:47:50,960 --> 01:47:53,720
Speaker 1: the Eagles. They loved him in Denver, so having to

1991
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:56,160
Speaker 1: bring him back. He was there for about a week

1992
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 1: and was thrust into the lineup last week in Carolina.

1993
01:47:59,160 --> 01:48:01,240
Speaker 1: Having him back there and knowing this defense a little

1994
01:48:01,240 --> 01:48:03,960
Speaker 1: bit as smarter player he is, that helps. Michael oj

1995
01:48:04,080 --> 01:48:06,840
Speaker 1: Moodia is a rookie who has definitely had his ups

1996
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:08,800
Speaker 1: and downs. He's a third round pick who they think

1997
01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:11,040
Speaker 1: is going to be a pretty good player. But I

1998
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 1: hoped to him this week about going against Stefon Diggs.

1999
01:48:13,360 --> 01:48:16,040
Speaker 1: That hitch route, no matter who the corner is, guys

2000
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 1: is one of the best routes by any receiver that

2001
01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 1: has run in the NFL this season. And he told me,

2002
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:23,200
Speaker 1: I can study the all the film. I want the

2003
01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:25,960
Speaker 1: way stuff on Diggs runs that it's almost unguardable. So

2004
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 1: I just think having the bodies out there the pass

2005
01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 1: rush is obviously the biggest part for the Denver Broncos

2006
01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:33,280
Speaker 1: to make sure those guys don't cover for very long.

2007
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 1: And when you see this, uh, this Bill's offense and

2008
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:39,280
Speaker 1: it starts without Josh Allen and Steph Diggs and the

2009
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:42,519
Speaker 1: year they're having, how do you think this uh, this

2010
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 1: pass rush with Chubbs. And I was watching a little

2011
01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:46,960
Speaker 1: bit of the Carolina game last year. I was watching

2012
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:49,320
Speaker 1: and that just in the time I was watching before

2013
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:52,559
Speaker 1: the show, three sacks by the Denver Broncos with three

2014
01:48:52,640 --> 01:48:56,879
Speaker 1: different guys, So it's I mean they they're versatile upfront

2015
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:59,240
Speaker 1: defensively for Denver. When you're right, I think it does

2016
01:48:59,400 --> 01:49:01,040
Speaker 1: for this game. It's going to a key on that front,

2017
01:49:01,080 --> 01:49:04,000
Speaker 1: four front, seven. Oh, it really is to you. I

2018
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:06,439
Speaker 1: mean everything is going to fall on the pressure. He

2019
01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:08,679
Speaker 1: doesn't get pressure a whole lot. They've done a great

2020
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,960
Speaker 1: job protecting Josh Allen, but his numbers are night and

2021
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:14,439
Speaker 1: day when he's under pressure to when he's not under pressure.

2022
01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:17,320
Speaker 1: This season, I mean, his quarterback numbers dropped dramatically, and

2023
01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 1: I know when I talked to Chubb about it, he said,

2024
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 1: that is the number one key of this entire game

2025
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:23,560
Speaker 1: if we can get to him. And Chubb has been fantastic.

2026
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:25,720
Speaker 1: The sacks may not be there, but he's six in

2027
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:28,920
Speaker 1: the NFL and quarterback pressures and that's how he is

2028
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:32,240
Speaker 1: able to move the quarterback off their spot. Shelby Harris

2029
01:49:32,320 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 1: is maybe not a household name, but Vic Fangioe has

2030
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,640
Speaker 1: been coaching defenses for I don't know nine lifetimes, and

2031
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 1: he said he is the best player he has ever

2032
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:42,880
Speaker 1: seen at batting down passes at the line of scrimmage

2033
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 1: and the best player he has ever coached. They've been

2034
01:49:45,400 --> 01:49:48,240
Speaker 1: able to put different guys in there up front and

2035
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:50,599
Speaker 1: find ways to get after the quarterback. That's a testament

2036
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:52,200
Speaker 1: I think to coaching and then be able to find

2037
01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:54,439
Speaker 1: the right scheme. But you're right, getting Josh Allen to

2038
01:49:54,520 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 1: move around and making sure you can pressure him, that

2039
01:49:57,360 --> 01:50:00,160
Speaker 1: is the biggest aspect of this Broncos defense they want

2040
01:50:00,160 --> 01:50:01,720
Speaker 1: to do, and it's all going to really fall on

2041
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:03,880
Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb. They did a great job against t J.

2042
01:50:04,040 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 1: Watt a week ago and keeping him out of the backfield.

2043
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:08,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to do the same thing on the

2044
01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:10,080
Speaker 1: other side with Chubb and I think that's going to

2045
01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:12,599
Speaker 1: help out Josh Allen tremendously. And then just to clear

2046
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:16,719
Speaker 1: this up for our listeners, James, just the wacky illness

2047
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:20,880
Speaker 1: situation last week for Garrett Bulls and no offense. I mean,

2048
01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:24,720
Speaker 1: people saw illness, they immediately think COVID, but it looked

2049
01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:26,599
Speaker 1: like it was like some kind of a stomach bug

2050
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:29,320
Speaker 1: and neither of them could play last week, right, but

2051
01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:31,439
Speaker 1: they are on track to play this week? Is that right?

2052
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:35,559
Speaker 1: That's right? It was. Some people I'm talking to are

2053
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:38,200
Speaker 1: blaming bad pizza at the team hotel. I don't know

2054
01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:41,519
Speaker 1: if this is a panther sabotage situation, but you're right

2055
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:45,840
Speaker 1: with COVID nineteen or what's happening. The way you have

2056
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,640
Speaker 1: to handle when somebody falls ill is commleletely different than

2057
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:50,960
Speaker 1: in years past. So it happened right before the game

2058
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:52,840
Speaker 1: for both of them. Bowls was an active fan, ended

2059
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:55,439
Speaker 1: up only playing a small portion. They actually stayed in

2060
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:58,960
Speaker 1: Charlotte the night after the team had left, were tested

2061
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 1: still the next morning, then flew back privately, and now

2062
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:03,720
Speaker 1: they're both slated to play in the game. They think

2063
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:06,000
Speaker 1: it was some sort of food food poisoning. But Noah

2064
01:51:06,040 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: Fan is a guy to keep an eye on in

2065
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:10,560
Speaker 1: terms of that athletic tight end that everybody's trying to

2066
01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:13,000
Speaker 1: get their hands on these days. And then Garrett Bowls

2067
01:51:13,040 --> 01:51:15,200
Speaker 1: is the first game he's missed in his career. Maybe,

2068
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:17,559
Speaker 1: I mean the way Josh Allen has turned it around

2069
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:19,479
Speaker 1: in terms of completion percentage and the way he's playing

2070
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:21,759
Speaker 1: at a MVB caliber. This guy you could have traded

2071
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:25,080
Speaker 1: for a sack of footballs for before the draft, and

2072
01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:27,400
Speaker 1: then he just got the fourth highest left tackle deal

2073
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:30,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Right now, the way Garrett Bowls has

2074
01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:34,040
Speaker 1: changed his play with Mike Munchek coaching him has been

2075
01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:35,760
Speaker 1: a great thing and one of the better stories to

2076
01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:37,640
Speaker 1: watch for a really good guy that is, you know,

2077
01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:39,120
Speaker 1: it took a while for him to get it, but

2078
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:41,680
Speaker 1: he's figuring it out. Protecting Drew blocks the last one.

2079
01:51:41,680 --> 01:51:44,240
Speaker 1: I just want to get a last one for me, James.

2080
01:51:44,240 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 1: I just want to get one big picture thought about

2081
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 1: the AFC. You know, you see these Denver Broncos and

2082
01:51:48,479 --> 01:51:50,759
Speaker 1: the Bills in the AFC, the Bills with the number

2083
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:53,880
Speaker 1: three seed. Now you got Kansas City in Pittsburgh at

2084
01:51:53,880 --> 01:51:57,320
Speaker 1: the top. How do you think this is gonna shake out?

2085
01:51:57,439 --> 01:52:00,479
Speaker 1: Like in the five, six, seven Wild Cards shot with

2086
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:03,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore making a big push to get in. Vegas is

2087
01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:05,880
Speaker 1: on the outside, but just not very far. Miami's got

2088
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:09,040
Speaker 1: a very difficult schedule. Cleveland stumbled this last week, but

2089
01:52:09,040 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 1: they still have nine wins. How do you think this

2090
01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 1: is all going to play out? You look at what

2091
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 1: the path the Ravens have and it's it's not a

2092
01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:18,639
Speaker 1: very difficult one. And I just did the game with

2093
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:22,439
Speaker 1: Miami and the Chiefs this past Sunday, and I really

2094
01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:24,200
Speaker 1: love the way the Dolphins are made up I'd love

2095
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 1: to see them sneak in, but they have a much

2096
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:29,120
Speaker 1: much more difficult path than say the Ravens do. And

2097
01:52:29,160 --> 01:52:31,360
Speaker 1: I just think the way the Chiefs are playing, it's

2098
01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 1: like everybody else is just trying to shake up to

2099
01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 1: see what kind of path they would have to play

2100
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:38,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City. I do think the way the Ravens, it

2101
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:41,519
Speaker 1: just almost seems serendipitous in a sense to where they win.

2102
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:43,920
Speaker 1: They win that game over the Browns and then you

2103
01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:46,439
Speaker 1: look at what they have left. To me, that looks

2104
01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:48,439
Speaker 1: like the team that is going to make that sneak.

2105
01:52:48,680 --> 01:52:50,960
Speaker 1: But I would never sleep on the Colts. I'm a

2106
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:54,040
Speaker 1: huge Frank Reich fan. I think the way that they

2107
01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:56,000
Speaker 1: have started to put things together and the way that

2108
01:52:56,040 --> 01:52:58,599
Speaker 1: they play, I'm I'm a big believer in Frank Reich.

2109
01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:00,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really, really interesting to watch. But I

2110
01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:04,719
Speaker 1: think we are seeing, after specifically this Bills game against

2111
01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:07,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers and the way that they've played the last

2112
01:53:07,040 --> 01:53:10,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, the gap is widening between the Steelers

2113
01:53:10,680 --> 01:53:13,600
Speaker 1: and the Kansas City Chiefs. All right, James, thanks for

2114
01:53:13,640 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 1: the time. We'll be sure to be looking for you

2115
01:53:15,200 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 1: on the pregame coverage. Of the game on Saturday. We

2116
01:53:17,280 --> 01:53:20,760
Speaker 1: appreciate the insight. Appreciate you guys have a going all right.

2117
01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:22,960
Speaker 1: That's James Palmer from NFL Network. He'll be on the

2118
01:53:22,960 --> 01:53:26,320
Speaker 1: pregame coverage of the game Saturday between the Bills and

2119
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:29,639
Speaker 1: the Broncos, which is airing on NFL Network and locally

2120
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:32,800
Speaker 1: in Buffalo on WKBW Channel seven. I agree with him.

2121
01:53:32,800 --> 01:53:34,240
Speaker 1: One of the dark things that one of the teams

2122
01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:36,040
Speaker 1: is getting forgotten about in all this shuffle at the

2123
01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:38,360
Speaker 1: bottom of the bracket for the AFC is the Colts.

2124
01:53:39,120 --> 01:53:41,760
Speaker 1: I just think they're really good. They run the ball

2125
01:53:41,800 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 1: really well, they play really good defense, and Philip Rivers

2126
01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:47,240
Speaker 1: and along with their head coach Frank who's you know,

2127
01:53:48,080 --> 01:53:50,240
Speaker 1: my respect and love and respect for him is obvious,

2128
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:53,160
Speaker 1: they got it going on a little bit. Yeah. The

2129
01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:58,080
Speaker 1: thing that I find interesting about them is there are times,

2130
01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:02,120
Speaker 1: you know how people have commented out lulls in play

2131
01:54:02,240 --> 01:54:04,360
Speaker 1: for the Bills, particularly in the third quarter this year,

2132
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 1: although that wasn't a problem last week, they have these lulls.

2133
01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:10,719
Speaker 1: Just talking to some people out there covering the team,

2134
01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 1: where these five ten minute stretches where they just kind

2135
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:17,519
Speaker 1: of they lose their way or they lose their rhythm

2136
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:20,200
Speaker 1: whatever it is, and they allow teams to climb back

2137
01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:22,600
Speaker 1: into games when if they just keep their foot on

2138
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:25,840
Speaker 1: the gas, they'll roll people. I mean, they got one

2139
01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:29,640
Speaker 1: of the best offensive lines in football. Jonathan Taylor is

2140
01:54:29,640 --> 01:54:32,720
Speaker 1: a firecracker at running back. I mean, the guy is

2141
01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:34,880
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty five pounds and he runs four

2142
01:54:35,040 --> 01:54:40,240
Speaker 1: three nine. You get him to the second level, it's over. Yeah,

2143
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:43,800
Speaker 1: it's over. And he snapped off a big game against

2144
01:54:43,800 --> 01:54:47,480
Speaker 1: it two hundred fifty yards. But that's what that offensive

2145
01:54:47,520 --> 01:54:50,960
Speaker 1: line can do. And Rivers he's not what he was,

2146
01:54:51,320 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 1: but he's a guy with a running game like that

2147
01:54:54,680 --> 01:54:58,560
Speaker 1: that you can win with. Wiley Veteran, not gonna make

2148
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:02,360
Speaker 1: stupid mistakes, been there before. And as you said, a

2149
01:55:02,480 --> 01:55:06,680
Speaker 1: defense that is playing really well. I mean their defense

2150
01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:09,760
Speaker 1: right now six in the league, fifth against the run,

2151
01:55:10,480 --> 01:55:14,400
Speaker 1: twelfth and points allowed. I mean that defense is good enough.

2152
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 1: And you know what travels in the playoffs a running

2153
01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:20,960
Speaker 1: game and defense. And you know what we've had a

2154
01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:23,600
Speaker 1: ton of We have national people on like like James

2155
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:25,920
Speaker 1: and he mentioned the Colts. Is why I got off

2156
01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:30,480
Speaker 1: on this. Nobody's talking about those guys and they're the

2157
01:55:30,520 --> 01:55:32,640
Speaker 1: sixth seed there. I mean they would be in even

2158
01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:34,520
Speaker 1: in a normal year where there worn't where in a

2159
01:55:34,680 --> 01:55:38,040
Speaker 1: in a year past when there was no uh no

2160
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:40,600
Speaker 1: seventh team in the playoffs, they would be in it.

2161
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:43,880
Speaker 1: And I just I just don't think they're getting the

2162
01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:46,040
Speaker 1: love that they kind of deserve. They're nine and four,

2163
01:55:46,200 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 1: just like Cleveland, just like Tennessee, and uh, you know

2164
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 1: they've I don't know why they're not getting any love. Man,

2165
01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:56,760
Speaker 1: They're just I think they're playing really good. Yeah, they're

2166
01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:59,680
Speaker 1: in a tight race. Um. You know with Tennessee for

2167
01:55:59,840 --> 01:56:02,560
Speaker 1: the division, did they I want to say they split

2168
01:56:02,680 --> 01:56:05,120
Speaker 1: this year? They split. They split their head to head.

2169
01:56:05,240 --> 01:56:09,960
Speaker 1: The tiebreaker must be so within a division, the tiebreakers

2170
01:56:09,960 --> 01:56:13,120
Speaker 1: are different. Uh yeah, it's uh the tiebreakers on in

2171
01:56:13,200 --> 01:56:16,760
Speaker 1: the in the conference record Tennessee seven and four, Indianapolis,

2172
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:22,960
Speaker 1: what are their divisions? Division record is doesn't say oh

2173
01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:26,040
Speaker 1: yeah division seed. No, it don't doesn't say different division record,

2174
01:56:26,880 --> 01:56:30,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have common reconjesus, it doesn't have that. We can

2175
01:56:30,880 --> 01:56:33,760
Speaker 1: find that. We can find anything, Steve, it's twenty twenty.

2176
01:56:33,840 --> 01:56:37,640
Speaker 1: I know you'd think, well, yeah, so here we go.

2177
01:56:37,760 --> 01:56:40,080
Speaker 1: If you look it up INDIVIDI division here we go.

2178
01:56:40,400 --> 01:56:43,440
Speaker 1: So division record four and one for Tennessee, two and

2179
01:56:43,480 --> 01:56:46,400
Speaker 1: two for any that's not good. Yeah, you're gonna have

2180
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:49,800
Speaker 1: to win. So Tennis to Indianapolis got two games to

2181
01:56:49,840 --> 01:56:52,720
Speaker 1: go in the divisions, just like the Bills do one.

2182
01:56:52,840 --> 01:56:54,800
Speaker 1: They got to win out and they need Tennessee to

2183
01:56:54,840 --> 01:56:57,720
Speaker 1: lose out in the division, Tennessee to lose one more

2184
01:56:57,920 --> 01:56:59,800
Speaker 1: and then to get have them get the next one,

2185
01:56:59,800 --> 01:57:02,160
Speaker 1: then get the next tiebreak or whatever that might be.

2186
01:57:02,840 --> 01:57:05,000
Speaker 1: All they need is to get one more division win

2187
01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:10,520
Speaker 1: and have Tennessee lose one. Of course they gotta win two,

2188
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:13,720
Speaker 1: I guess. So, yeah, they're up against it. They're up

2189
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:16,200
Speaker 1: against it. Yeah, because the tiebreakers are different within a

2190
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:20,040
Speaker 1: division because it goes head to head, then division record,

2191
01:57:20,240 --> 01:57:24,600
Speaker 1: right then common games, then conference record. That's when you

2192
01:57:24,640 --> 01:57:27,080
Speaker 1: have two teams tied in the division. So that's why

2193
01:57:27,200 --> 01:57:29,240
Speaker 1: that's how it's different. Where if it's just two teams

2194
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:33,080
Speaker 1: in the same conference, two teams in the same conference,

2195
01:57:33,080 --> 01:57:36,400
Speaker 1: it goes head to head, then conference record is second,

2196
01:57:36,960 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 1: then common games, and then it gets into strength of

2197
01:57:39,880 --> 01:57:42,800
Speaker 1: victory and strength of schedule and all that stuff right see,

2198
01:57:42,800 --> 01:57:46,360
Speaker 1: and so far in the NFL's Jesus they don't put

2199
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:48,320
Speaker 1: any common games in there yet, which I don't know

2200
01:57:48,320 --> 01:57:51,480
Speaker 1: why they don't, Probably because there's so few it's so

2201
01:57:51,520 --> 01:57:53,120
Speaker 1: hard to keep trying. I don't know why they wouldn't

2202
01:57:53,120 --> 01:57:55,320
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, what's the deal, brownie, They got to

2203
01:57:55,360 --> 01:57:57,160
Speaker 1: get on that. How are we supposed to do a

2204
01:57:57,280 --> 01:57:59,600
Speaker 1: radio show? Well, you do it instead of looking at

2205
01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 1: the com Prince race, you switch to the division race

2206
01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:03,760
Speaker 1: and you can get division record and stuff like. They

2207
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:06,280
Speaker 1: don't have it on there either. The common games aren't

2208
01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:08,080
Speaker 1: on they got oh common games? No, No, they don't

2209
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:10,240
Speaker 1: have common games yet. You're gonna have to do that yourself.

2210
01:58:10,320 --> 01:58:12,400
Speaker 1: That's always a fun exercise. I've done that. I don't

2211
01:58:12,440 --> 01:58:14,440
Speaker 1: want to do that. Yeah, it's you'll make your head hurt.

2212
01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if there's any

2213
01:58:16,120 --> 01:58:20,200
Speaker 1: guaranteed return for my effort on. I'll wait to let

2214
01:58:20,200 --> 01:58:22,480
Speaker 1: the league do that at the end. Break time for us,

2215
01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:24,080
Speaker 1: but we come back. We'll get back to the phone.

2216
01:58:24,120 --> 01:58:25,960
Speaker 1: It's got a couple of people waiting patiently there for

2217
01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:29,240
Speaker 1: your high low. Since the last Bill's Division title in

2218

Speaker 1: high low moment? As we are all crossing our fingers

2220
01:58:35,280 --> 01:58:37,720
Speaker 1: that the Bills will get their first division title in

2221
01:58:37,760 --> 01:58:41,080
Speaker 1: twenty five years this weekend with a victory over the Broncos.

2222
01:58:41,280 --> 01:58:43,440
Speaker 1: Your calls next here on One Bill's Line, presented by

2223
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:58,040

2224
01:58:58,160 --> 01:59:00,280
Speaker 1: One Bill is Live. I want to get back to

2225
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:04,120
Speaker 1: the phones to get your high and low since nineteen

2226
01:59:04,240 --> 01:59:06,280
Speaker 1: ninety five to the present day, as this was the

2227
01:59:06,360 --> 01:59:09,680
Speaker 1: day the Bills locked up the last AFC East title

2228
01:59:10,680 --> 01:59:13,920
Speaker 1: and I didn't even look back. Who was the game

2229
01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:17,760
Speaker 1: against in week seventeen? Was just seventeen? Wasn't It wasn't

2230
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:20,200
Speaker 1: week seventeen? Was it? Are you locked it up before then? Yeah?

2231
01:59:20,320 --> 01:59:24,400
Speaker 1: Obviously it's Dolphins. You beat the Dolphins, play the Dolphins

2232
01:59:24,440 --> 01:59:26,320
Speaker 1: in the wild card game three weeks later. I think

2233
01:59:26,360 --> 01:59:30,440
Speaker 1: that might have been the forty four thirty four game

2234
01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:34,720
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins in week we'll look it up while

2235

Speaker 1: we're listening to all the calls here if we get

2236
01:59:36,680 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 1: a chance. And then they came back here for the

2237
01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:42,440
Speaker 1: wild card round. Gotcha? Eight oh three, oh five fifty.

Speaker 1: in my craft or that as as much as that

2297
02:02:57,280 --> 02:02:59,760

Speaker 1: that why, yeah, yeah, and I'll tell you what it was.

2299
02:03:02,280 --> 02:03:07,400

2300
02:03:07,440 --> 02:03:10,560
Speaker 1: the other, like three. It was a series three and

2301
02:03:10,600 --> 02:03:14,320

02:03:14,320 --> 02:03:20,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned that, because you forget I mean this, this

2303
02:03:20,440 --> 02:03:24,000

2304
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:28,320
Speaker 1: for Terry and Kim, and even before that, if it

2305
02:03:28,360 --> 02:03:33,200
Speaker 1: wasn't for Fluteymania in ninety eight, this team may not

2306
02:03:33,400 --> 02:03:37,400
Speaker 1: have filled all those required luxury seating requirements to the

2307
02:03:37,720 --> 02:03:39,560

2308
02:03:39,560 --> 02:03:41,280
Speaker 1: if I don't know if Ralph would have ever really

2309
02:03:41,360 --> 02:03:46,720

2311
02:03:51,760 --> 02:03:54,680

2312
02:03:54,680 --> 02:04:00,720
Speaker 1: provisions that mister Wilson put into the trust, is gonna

2313

02:10:17,760 --> 02:10:21,560
Speaker 1: ending of the drought. Two thousand and four season finale,

2411
02:10:21,880 --> 02:10:26,040
Speaker 1: Week seventeen against the Steelers backups was a low. The

2412
02:10:26,080 --> 02:10:29,080
Speaker 1: Monday night football game against the Cowboys got mentioned. Home

2413
02:10:29,160 --> 02:10:33,040
Speaker 1: run throwback was very popular. Steve. I'm gonna ask you

2414
02:10:33,040 --> 02:10:35,720
Speaker 1: if you remember this since today is the anniversary of

2415
02:10:35,760 --> 02:10:38,480
Speaker 1: the Bill's last division title. As I mentioned in the

2416
02:10:38,480 --> 02:10:43,320
Speaker 1: previous segment, you started the game, did you realize or

2417
02:10:43,360 --> 02:10:48,320
Speaker 1: do you remember that you had more rushes than receptions

2418
02:10:48,440 --> 02:10:52,000
Speaker 1: in this game? I do? You had three catches for

2419
02:10:52,120 --> 02:10:56,440
Speaker 1: nineteen yards, six carries for fifty Did you run some

2420
02:10:56,560 --> 02:10:58,280
Speaker 1: end rounds or something? What were you doing? We were

2421
02:10:58,280 --> 02:11:01,760
Speaker 1: doing the inside handoff stuff. Okay, I was working for

2422
02:11:01,880 --> 02:11:04,360
Speaker 1: us eight point three yards per carry. I gotta I

2423
02:11:04,400 --> 02:11:06,760
Speaker 1: think I got your return punts and neck. I actually

2424
02:11:07,080 --> 02:11:10,200
Speaker 1: look at that. I actually got a that right there.

2425
02:11:10,240 --> 02:11:13,240
Speaker 1: I that run. There's a picture taken during that run.

2426
02:11:13,480 --> 02:11:15,920
Speaker 1: I think I was that got me on this cover

2427
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated. Oh that's the Stampede cover. Yeah, am my

2428
02:11:20,320 --> 02:11:24,600
Speaker 1: one and only cover. There you go, it's SI. So

2429
02:11:24,680 --> 02:11:28,000
Speaker 1: we'll look at how one squirmed off of that one

2430
02:11:28,960 --> 02:11:32,000
Speaker 1: Thurman kind of carriage in this game though, because I

2431
02:11:32,040 --> 02:11:33,880
Speaker 1: mean he had thirty five carries for one hundred and

2432
02:11:33,920 --> 02:11:36,680
Speaker 1: forty eight yards. I remember a touchdown. You guys had

2433
02:11:36,680 --> 02:11:38,880
Speaker 1: more rushing yards in passing. He had two hundred and

2434
02:11:38,880 --> 02:11:41,960
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards one hundred and thirty nine passing. Yea,

2435
02:11:42,280 --> 02:11:44,800
Speaker 1: do what you got to do? That was we beat

2436
02:11:44,840 --> 02:11:46,480
Speaker 1: him that day, and then we came back and the

2437
02:11:46,560 --> 02:11:48,720
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks laters like three weeks later, they

2438
02:11:48,760 --> 02:11:52,480
Speaker 1: came back to town. It was a wildcard round and

2439
02:11:52,680 --> 02:11:57,080
Speaker 1: uh it was Don Shoota's last game. Ye sent him home. Now.

2440
02:11:57,160 --> 02:11:59,280
Speaker 1: David White had the interception in the playoff game. It

2441
02:11:59,320 --> 02:12:01,480
Speaker 1: was a tipped path as yeah, and he went straight

2442
02:12:01,600 --> 02:12:03,160
Speaker 1: in the air. David White came down with it. I

2443
02:12:03,160 --> 02:12:05,920
Speaker 1: had a touchdown in that game too. Crazy thing is

2444
02:12:06,320 --> 02:12:09,640
Speaker 1: David White also had an interception in that week fifteen

2445
02:12:09,720 --> 02:12:13,160
Speaker 1: division clinching game. Did he a little foreshadowing if you will,

2446
02:12:13,280 --> 02:12:16,520
Speaker 1: there you go? Week fifteen, he had a pick only

2447
02:12:16,520 --> 02:12:19,600
Speaker 1: brought it back nine yards. I didn't go through far

2448
02:12:19,720 --> 02:12:21,360
Speaker 1: enough through the game book to see if you guys

2449
02:12:21,360 --> 02:12:23,760
Speaker 1: scored off of that. But I was a tight game.

2450
02:12:23,920 --> 02:12:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Christie kicks it with six minutes left and

2451
02:12:27,480 --> 02:12:29,560
Speaker 1: the defense holes at the end of the game. There

2452
02:12:30,040 --> 02:12:33,240
Speaker 1: other interesting thing. Bernie Kozar was the backup quarterback for

2453
02:12:33,360 --> 02:12:36,000
Speaker 1: Marino that year, and he had to come on for

2454
02:12:36,080 --> 02:12:41,680
Speaker 1: his snap. I don't know why, but he finger got dislocated. Okay,

2455
02:12:41,680 --> 02:12:43,160
Speaker 1: he had to come out for a little bit. He had.

2456
02:12:43,360 --> 02:12:45,880
Speaker 1: He came off for like one plane, came right back on.

2457
02:12:46,880 --> 02:12:49,040
Speaker 1: But that game was a really difficult That was for

2458
02:12:49,080 --> 02:12:51,960
Speaker 1: the division, and then when they came back in less

2459
02:12:51,960 --> 02:12:56,120
Speaker 1: than a month for the for the wild card, it

2460
02:12:56,160 --> 02:12:58,400
Speaker 1: wasn't close. We beat him. We beat him. We jumped

2461
02:12:58,400 --> 02:13:01,000
Speaker 1: out early and got him them and kind of closed

2462
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:03,360
Speaker 1: it out with the four minute drill. Here in week fifteen,

2463
02:13:05,400 --> 02:13:07,520
Speaker 1: four thirty two left on the clock, you guys are

2464
02:13:07,560 --> 02:13:11,920
Speaker 1: up a field goal and Billy Brooks for four, Thurman

2465
02:13:12,040 --> 02:13:15,919
Speaker 1: for ten, Thurman for one, Jim Tilannie Johnson for fifteen

2466
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:19,800
Speaker 1: yards first and ten in midfield, Thurman for three, Thurman

2467
02:13:19,880 --> 02:13:23,200
Speaker 1: for five, Thurman for two, and then Jim just kind

2468
02:13:23,200 --> 02:13:26,360
Speaker 1: of kneels it out. Yeah, and that was it for

2469
02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:30,040
Speaker 1: a minute, the last defense, the last AFC's title for

2470
02:13:30,080 --> 02:13:33,840
Speaker 1: the Bills on this day, twenty five years ago. Yeah,

2471
02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:37,000
Speaker 1: two more days from now, funder reminisce. But there are

2472
02:13:37,040 --> 02:13:39,560
Speaker 1: better days ahead. I think there's more days from now.

2473
02:13:39,600 --> 02:13:41,720
Speaker 1: It could be the next division title with a victory.

2474
02:13:41,800 --> 02:13:43,920
Speaker 1: And now you know, we'll see the league's talking about

2475
02:13:43,920 --> 02:13:46,040
Speaker 1: a seventeen game schedule. If we keep playing like this,

2476
02:13:46,080 --> 02:13:48,160
Speaker 1: I want him twenty five game schedule. Man, there's a

2477
02:13:48,160 --> 02:13:50,680
Speaker 1: lot of the players are agreeing with that. Drink it up, guys.
