He was kind of a dual roll player 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in the 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: strated beard of normalcy.

Emmanuel Sanders had single coverage. He broke 11 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: free at the five and scooted into the end zone 12 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo go ahead touchdown. Josh gets it, looks, looks, 13 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: gets away from pressure, rolls to the right side, nine 14 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: fires it downfield, got a man wide open, caught Cocks 15 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: and Knox makes it catch at the fifteen, cruises into 16 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: the end zone.

Wow, Holy Mackerel Holmes 19 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: steps up, fires the pass off the hands, intercepted by 20 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: Micah Hide at the tent at the five touchdown. Buffalo 21 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: Mica Hide got the tip pass and cruised into the 22 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: end zone for the Buffalo touchdown homes and Shotgun takes 23 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: the snamp. You're gonna throw it, No, you're gonna hang 24 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: onto it, and it's picked off. It is intercepted by 25 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: the Bills, picked up by Greg Russo right at the 26 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and he goes down at the twenty 27 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: two yard line. Greg Russo somehow got that ball a 28 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: short pass. Josh takes a snap, gonna keep it in 29 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: run with it. Josh on the run, jumps over a man, 30 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: dives forward. He's close to the first town. I don't 31 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: know if they're gonna get it to him though, right 32 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: around the forty four yard line. Did he get in 33 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: the first down? No signal yet yet. It is a 34 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo first down to snap the Josh keeps it himself, 35 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: gonna throw it into the end zone. It is caught 36 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: touchdown Buffalo Emmanuel Sanders touchdown Bills. That should just about 37 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: to do it with five fifty one left to play. 38 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: That is your game.

I don't know if that's 43 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: one hundred percent true, but we're gonna roll with it 44 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: today here on one Bills Live.

Chris Brown, Maddie glab with you as 46 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker travels cross country on an airplane today, 47 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: finally making his way back from the final frontier Maddie 48 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: of a last so it'll be good to see him tomorrow. 49 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: But man, how are you doing? Are you? You're not 50 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: a huge coffee drinker, right, You find your other ways 51 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: to get your caffeine. Yeah, I used to be a 52 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: huge coffee drinker. Not as much anymore. But honestly, I 53 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: have a cup of coffee right next to me. Because 54 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: it was a late night for you and I, Chris, everybody, everybody. 55 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: It was a late night for everybody, including you know, 56 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: Bills fans. Now, a lot of them are the beneficiaries 57 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: of this being Columbus Day. They don't have work today, 58 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: so we welcome your phone calls. At eight oh three 59 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: oh five fifty if you are pulling the sleep out 60 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: of your eyes here at noon Eastern time, because we 61 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: had an hour and ten minute rain delay, Maddie, or 62 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: lightning delay, I guess would be the more appropriate description 63 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: of what went on there. And we saw the network, 64 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: you know, providing footage of the bowels of Arrowhead Stadium. 65 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: We see players hanging out out in the hallways in 66 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: the bowels of the stadium because I guess it was 67 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: pretty hot in the locker room. And I've been in 68 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: that locker room. It's very tight, it's very cramped. It's 69 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: an old stadium. They refurbished everything but the locker rooms, 70 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: including the visiting one, which I think was probably on purpose. 71 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: Why make the visiting team any more comfortable than you 72 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: need to. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches got two thumbs 73 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: down at halftime. Apparently the ratio of peanut butter to 74 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: jelly was horribly out of whack. I don't know where 75 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: you stand on it, Maddie, but there was somebody on 76 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: the network that said, or somebody on social media I 77 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: think it was, that said seventy percent peanut butter to 78 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: thirty percent jelly, and I think that is exactly where 79 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: I sit on the you know, PB to Jay breakdown 80 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: on a sandwich. It's gotta be more peanut butter every 81 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: day of the week. Where where are you on this 82 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: spectrum here? I'm more sixty forty I think for sure, 83 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: but a little bit more jelly than seventy thirty. I'm 84 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: sixty forty fifty fifty. You got you got a messy 85 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: sandwich there. Jelly's coming out everywhere. That's my concern. Even 86 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: with forty percent, you're you're really straddling the line of 87 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: a of a saggy bread sandwich if you're going that 88 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: high a ratio of jelly. So if you're making that, 89 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: that's not something that you can wrap up and take 90 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: to work and trust that it's going to have good 91 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: bread consistency a couple of hours later. Like forty percent jelly, 92 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: you better be eating that thing right away. Oh yeah, 93 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: I definitely am. You make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, 94 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't let it stick around for too long, Okay, Yeah, 95 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: Because if I'm packing one for work and I'm going 96 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: forty percent jelly, I mean I'm pulling I'm pulling a 97 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: dish rag out of my tinfoil there if I do that, 98 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: So I can't take that risk. Um. But yeah, and 99 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: you know that's off to our social media department. That 100 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: was a great social media post they had overnight with 101 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: the final score on an open faced Peanut butter and 102 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: jelly sand which thirty eight to twenty the final for 103 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: the Bills. We have tons to get to today as 104 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: we'll have the hunt red zone play of the game. 105 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: We'll go around the locker room. We've got Eric Wood 106 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: in the third hour of the show today and your 107 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: phone calls at eight oh three five fifty one eight 108 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two, five fifty our Twitter conversation today, 109 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: What did last night's when tell you is different about 110 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: this year's Bill's team. We want to hear from you. 111 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: What kind of impression the performance left last night left 112 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: on you with respect to how this team is different 113 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: this year as opposed to best past years. Obviously, Maddie, 114 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: the first thing that jumps out is that you have 115 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: an offense that is playing at a top flight level 116 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: much the way they did last year. Finally did it 117 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs after two cracks at it and not 118 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: playing at their best in twenty twenty, and then I 119 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: think you have a defense that is back to its 120 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen form, but it's taking the ball away at 121 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: an even higher rate than they did in the twenty 122 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: nineteen season, So you finally have both sides of the 123 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: ball playing at a top five level. As a matter 124 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: of fact, looking at the league stats here today, Maddie, 125 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: the Bills lead the league in points four and lead 126 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: the league in points against. Pretty good place to be 127 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: after five weeks. Yeah, a great place to be after 128 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: five weeks of football to start this season. I think 129 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: the Bills grew up last night. They took a step forward. 130 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: Of course, they downplayed this matchup and rightfully so. You 131 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: don't want to hang your hat too much on a 132 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,119 Speaker 1: game in the regular season, especially one that's in Week five. 133 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: But this game could have implications when we look at 134 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: home field advantage when it comes to the playoffs. So 135 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: we'll see how it plays out down the road. But 136 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: I think this was a huge win for the Buffalo 137 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: Bills from Josh Allen with a complete game. His deep 138 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: ball accuracy last night was impeccable. His connection with Dawson 139 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: Knox was incredible. The defense showed up, did their job, 140 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: allowed only twenty points to a Chiefs offense that was 141 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: averaging thirty three and a half points per game. The 142 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs were two of five in the red zone forty 143 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: percent going into this game. Their red zone efficiency was 144 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: eighty percent. That is huge for the defense and I 145 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: mean hats off to the defensive line for doing their job. 146 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: This defensive line looks different this year, partially due to 147 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: that AFC Championship loss. They wanted to get after the 148 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: quarterback more. They were able to do that against Patrick 149 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes rotating eight defensive linemen. This was a complete win 150 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: by this team. Really excited for what's to come for 151 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: this Buffalo Bill's offense and defense that we saw last night. Yeah, 152 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: and I know everybody's excited about the offensive performance, the 153 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: big plays which really kind of carried the day for 154 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: the offense, and the offensively ran fifty seven plays from 155 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: scrimmage and scored thirty eight points. I know they had 156 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: help from the defense because Mike hal Hide at an 157 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: interception return for the touchdown the first of his career, 158 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: so they get a free seven from them. But I'm 159 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: telling you, like the efficiency with the big plays was 160 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: something else. But the defensive performance, as you mentioned, Maddie, 161 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: it was top notch last night. You hold Tyree Hill 162 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: under eighty yards receiving. Travis Kelsey had a couple of 163 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: catches late in the game, but six for fifty seven. 164 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: I mean, when you think in last year's AFC title game, Maddie, 165 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: these two guys, Kelsey and Hill had twenty two receptions 166 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: for two hundred ninety yards and two touchdowns in the 167 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: AFC Championship Game last year alone, and then last night 168 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: they go for thirteen catches for one hundred and twenty yards. 169 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: I mean, it's less than half of what they did 170 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: and a lot of that stuff was few and far between, 171 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: like all of those things were spread out. They never 172 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: really let Hill make an impact on the game where 173 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: they had to completely adjust their defensive philosophy. Kelsey, they 174 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: knocked him all over the place. And you know, Sir 175 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: and Neil took a couple of penalties last night. I 176 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: liked the approach, knock them around, dar him to throw 177 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: the flags. Now they did throw the flags, and we 178 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: can get into the officials if we want, because I'm 179 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: just gonna say, while Chiefs fans were all up in 180 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: arms about the roughing the passer penalty, which was borderline 181 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: at best. There were a whole handful of plays that 182 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: went uncalled by the officials that the Bills could have 183 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: raised a stink about. Dredevious White was called for passing 184 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: interference because Travis Kelsey decided to fall down. I mean 185 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: he looked like a soccer a European soccer player, flopping 186 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: like that down the right sideline. Dredevious White didn't touch him, 187 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: and they throw pass interference on him. I mean, come 188 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: on with that. So you want to gripe about the 189 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: roughing the passer penalty, I got a pocketful of calls 190 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: that the Bills could gripe about that they didn't get. 191 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: Not to mention the fact, you watch the first series 192 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: of the game, made defense comes out. Gregory Rousseau is 193 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: getting held on the first two plays by Lucas Nyang 194 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: and nothing, nothing is called. I mean, he's got his 195 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: shoulder pad in his hand and he's pulling him away 196 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: from the pocket. I don't know, I can get really 197 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: going really fast on the officials calls in this game. 198 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: But getting back to my point about the defense, So 199 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: the Bills give up twenty points to the Chiefs. Okay, 200 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: when all is said and done. Okay, Patrick Mahomes has 201 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: now started fifty one games. I want you to guess 202 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: for me, Maddie, how many of those fifty one career 203 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: starts that the Chiefs have been held to twenty points 204 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: or less? How many out of those fifty one do 205 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: you think? Well, I'm gonna say two or three that 206 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: is a very good guess. The answer is three, and 207 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: last night was one of the three. So basically I 208 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: crunched all the numbers. They had one game last year 209 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: that they lost, they had seventeen points, and then I 210 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: believe the other game was in Patrick mahomes rookie season 211 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen and they scored seventeen points as well, 212 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: or was fourteen or seventeen one or the other. So basically, 213 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: three games in Patrick mahomes career as quarterback of the 214 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs have the Chiefs been held to twenty points or less. 215 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: Last night was one of those games. And it's the 216 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: first time since I want to say week first half 217 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty season, so it's over twenty twenty 218 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: five games since they were held to twenty points or less. 219 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: So kudos to the Bills defense. Last night Really just 220 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: a fantastic performance all the way around. Really impressed with 221 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: what they did. We mentioned, Maddie that the Bills are 222 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: leading the league in scoring. Their one hundred and seventy 223 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: two points now through the first five games is a 224 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: new club record for the first five games of a season. 225 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: Previous record was one hundred and sixty five points back 226 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty four, which, oh, by the way, was 227 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: an AFL championship season. So go get them a lot 228 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: of other numbers, and we're gonna be putting up a 229 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: numbers column on Buffalo bills dot Com a little bit 230 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: later today. Fifteen total takeaways, Maddie, That leads the league. Now, 231 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: I think they're tied for the fewest giveaways with four. 232 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: They got away with an interception because of the roughing 233 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: the passer penalty late in the game last night. But 234 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: we'll take it. We'll take it. Sometimes you gotta be 235 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: a little lucky. And Josh Allen Maddie, in his last 236 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: three primetime games passer rating of one thirteen point seven. 237 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: And this number, out of all these numbers I've been 238 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,479 Speaker 1: throwing out at you, this number is the most impressive 239 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: for me. When Josh Allen has a passing touchdown and 240 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: rushing touchdown in the same game. The Bills are eighteen 241 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: and oh who I love that stat Prime time Josh Allen. 242 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: When the lights are on, this guy flourishes fifteen passing 243 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: completions last night three fifteen passing yards, had six completions 244 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: of at least twenty yards. Love to see his deep 245 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: connection that he had with Dawson Knox, the two connected 246 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: on three of those balls. His sixty one yard completion 247 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: to Stefan Digs, his big touchdown completion to Emmanuel Standers, 248 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: just a few that stood out in that game. I 249 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: was thinking, you know, going into this game for the Bills, 250 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: like red zone efficiency is going to be super important. 251 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: It wasn't even that important because Josh Allen threw so 252 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: many deep balls that got them basically into the end 253 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: zone more than once that their red zone efficiency wasn't 254 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: what was on the line in this game. They were 255 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: pretty good two of three in the red zone, but 256 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen had a day. He also was great on 257 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: his feet. Eleven attempts for fifty nine yards a rushing 258 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: touchdown for Josh Allen. So just what he was able 259 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: to do in a big time game, big time moments 260 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: like that. I know the Chiefs defense is not the 261 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: best in the league, but it's also easy to play 262 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: down to your opponent, whether they're week on offense or 263 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: week on defense. Josh Allen did not let that get 264 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: to him. The offense did not let that get to them. 265 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: They were able to score at a high rate, putting 266 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: thirty eight points on the scoreboard. It's their fourth straight 267 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: game of at least thirty five points. They have a 268 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: plus one o eight point differential right now. I mean 269 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: this offense it's hot. It is And I'm just gonna 270 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: say this. I don't know what it is between Josh 271 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: Allen and Emmanuel Sanders, but Josh seems to make his 272 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: most ridiculous throws to the veteran receiver. Last week he 273 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: was rolling out to his right and he well he threw. 274 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: Was it last week or the week before? Now I'm 275 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: going to get my weeks mixed up. I think it 276 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: was the Washington game. He rolls out and throws that 277 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: touchdown sliding in the end zone a man Sanders. He 278 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: had another one last week the Stefon Diggs, the thirty 279 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: yard rope that he threw that was just stupid, but yesterday, 280 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: the thirty five yard touchdown to Emmanuel Sanders. I really 281 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: hope that Bills fans truly appreciate how ridiculous that throw is. 282 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he just stuck his foot in the ground 283 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: and whipped a thirty five yard rope and buzzed it 284 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: like that's called buzzing the tower. Because the Chiefs dB 285 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: has his back turned and he turns around just in 286 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: time to see the thing flying over his head for 287 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: a touchdown. I think it was Legarius Sneed and it's 288 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: just you have no there is no answer for that. 289 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: That's not I'm just gonna say, is he a yard 290 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: off the receiver? Yeah, but this is not horrible coverage. 291 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: The ball is just in there are so hot and 292 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: so fast that and hopefully we can hear from Emmanuel 293 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: Sanders a little bit later in the show when we 294 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: go around the locker room, Sanders even talked about how 295 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: stupid the throw was because he said after he caught 296 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: the touchdown, He's like, I don't even know what to 297 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: do because I was still standing there going what the 298 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: hell was that? Because not there's like three quarterbacks on 299 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: the planet that can throw that ball on a line 300 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: and beat a dB. Who is in decent coverage, not 301 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: great coverage, but decent coverage where he is at least 302 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: providing some form of resistance, like, hey, this is gonna 303 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: be a tight window. You may not want to try 304 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: to fit it in here, and Josh just unquorks the 305 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: damn thing and it's in, you know, Sanders hands in 306 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: about a second and a half. It's just stupid, stupid. 307 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: I think after the game, when he was doing his 308 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: press conference with Josh Allen, he said, at times I 309 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: was watching Josh Allen like a fan would, and I 310 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: had to like get myself to snap out of it 311 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: because he was performing so well last night. Whenever you 312 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: hear Emmanuel Sanders talk about Josh Allen, the things that 313 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: come out of as an author special. I mean, he 314 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: was calling seventeen is specially. He's a great quarterback, and 315 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: you saw it in the first half. He was averaging 316 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: thirty one point three yards per completion. That is insane. 317 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: Elite quarterbacks do that, and Josh Allen did that in 318 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 1: the first half. Next gent Stats tweeting out some incredible stats. 319 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: He was four or four for one hundred and seventy 320 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: two yards and had two touchdowns on deep passes, making 321 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: him the first player in the next Gen stats era 322 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: with one hundred percent completion percentage and at least one 323 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards passing on deep pass attempts in 324 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: the first half. Like mind blowing statistics. That Bill's quarterback 325 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is just popping off to start the game, 326 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: and we should take this into account as well, because 327 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean Emmanuel Sanders and Dawson Knox for that matter, 328 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: they were sitting next to each other after the game 329 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: in the postgame media room answering questions, and they were 330 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: both effusive in their praise for Josh, saying he's just 331 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: a special player. He's ridiculous. You know, the players that 332 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: made the catches were getting all these credits for these 333 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: all the credit for these scoring players, and they're like, look, 334 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: seventeen is just putting the ball there. We just have 335 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: to catch the thing. You have to take this into account, 336 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:25,479 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders. Before his career is over, we'll have played 337 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: with what are going to be three Hall of Fame quarterbacks. 338 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning's already in the Hall of Fame, 339 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: and Drew Brees. The way in which he talks about 340 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He's almost putting him in that company. And 341 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: he even qualified that. He's like, look, this guy is 342 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: really really special and I've played with some pretty special 343 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and he has. As I've just outlined, Josh is 344 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: reaching otherworldly level and it's got to be scary for 345 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: the rest of the league. I don't know what you 346 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: do to have an answer for him now, as much 347 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: as I don't want to take credit away from the 348 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: receiving targets on this team either, Maddie, but the Chiefs 349 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: defense is in big trouble. They are in big trouble. 350 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: They can't stop anyone, and then facing the caliber of 351 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: an offense like this, I mean it looked like Matador 352 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: defense here. I mean it was Ola left, Ola right, 353 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: Ola up the middle. What do you want to do? 354 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: And it does not look good for them. They have 355 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: three conference losses already after five games. That's really bad, 356 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: really bad. It's gonna be hard to dig yourself out 357 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: of that hole. If any team can do it, though, 358 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: it's the Chiefs. Steve Spagnolo, their defensive coordinator. They're gonna 359 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: have to go back to the tape. They're gonna have 360 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: to go back to the drawing board and figure out 361 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: how they can make a defense work with the players 362 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: that they have. A couple players were injured yesterday, Charvarius Ward, 363 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: and then of course one of their defensive lineman, Chris Jones, 364 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: so big guys that they've missed in those games could 365 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: have possibly impacted the game a little bit more. But yeah, 366 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: this was a defense that wasn't good going into this game. 367 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: They look even worse after this game. This defense of 368 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Once Steve Spagnola was hired, it was like, Okay, 369 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: we've figured it out. We get Tyrann Matthew, we have 370 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: a good defensive coordinator who can game plan for these matchups. 371 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: And this year it does not look like that. So 372 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: they have to go back and figure out what type 373 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: of identity they want to have this year. You know, 374 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: Steve Spagnola is known for mixing it up, confusing offenses. 375 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: Is he confusing his own defense by throwing too much 376 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: at them? They might have to get back to the 377 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: ABC's of the easy things that they're good at doing 378 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: and kind of build off that rather than getting two 379 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: mixed up, rather than being too confusing for even themselves. Yeah, 380 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: they just don't Daniel Sorenson should not be covering Dawson Knox. 381 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: And we talked about this on the pregame show Maddie 382 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: Bill's Field Pass. I you know, we were talking about, 383 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: is Dawson Knox at a level now? Has he reached 384 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: a level of play where he has to be accounted 385 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: for by the opponent with their defensive game plan. And 386 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: it was clear to me that they felt Daniel Sorenson, 387 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: a veteran safety who's had a good career and has 388 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: made a lot of plays, he is just not the 389 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: same athlete that Dawson Knox is. And I think they 390 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: surprisingly to me anyway, because Dawson Knox all he's been 391 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: doing is lightening up the tape. They had four touchdowns 392 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: his last three games coming in, and they foolishly thought 393 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: we can just put a veteran safety on him and 394 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: he'll be able to cover Dawson Knox. Now, he made 395 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: a mental mistake in believing the play was over as 396 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: Josh Allen rolled to his right and lost track of 397 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: where Knox was and gets beat for a fifty three 398 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: yard touchdown. But that was not the only play that 399 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: Knox made, as we well know, I mean, I know 400 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: he only had three receptions, but at the end of 401 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: the day, it's one hundred and seventeen yards and another touchdown. 402 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think this kind of tape 403 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: is going to prove to future opponents of the Bills 404 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: that you better have a game plan for Dawson Knox. 405 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: Taking it a step further, Maddie, if we went into 406 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: this game, like, let's just say this because we're talking, 407 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: you know, our Twitter conversation today is what did the 408 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: win tell you? Is different about the Bills team this year? Okay, 409 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: this is what it told me. If we go if 410 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: before this game, Maddie, I told you that coming out 411 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: of the game when it was all over, that Stefon 412 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: Diggs was going to have two receptions and Cole Beasley 413 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: was gonna have one. Would you have bet the Bills 414 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: we're going to score enough points to win the football game? 415 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't think. So. This team, in ways, this offense 416 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: to start the season looks different than it did last 417 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: year in terms of who Josh Allen is giving the 418 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: ball to. Yep, and that's and that's probably the biggest 419 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: thing that's different for me, because if you told me 420 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: Diggs and Beasley were gonna come out of this game 421 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: with three receptions, I'm like, oh, we probably lost by 422 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: twenty and that that is what happened last night. Two 423 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: catches for sixty nine yards for Diggs, one reception for 424 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: five yards for Beasley, and even gave Davis only had 425 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: one catch, and I know his playing time has been 426 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: cut back severely with the you know, with the addition 427 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: of Sanders in the offseason. But much like the Bills, 428 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: defense is finding different ways to win. Week two, they 429 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: have unbelievable pass rush, they're aggressive with their blitz schemes, 430 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: and they win thirty five nothing there. The next week 431 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: they play pretty solid run defense, good defense in the 432 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: red zone, and they helped the team win going away 433 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: against Washington. And then in Week four, you know, they 434 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: play an underman Texans team. They're just outclassed. Okay, but 435 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: this past week it's takeaways again, or last night, I 436 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 1: should say it's takeaways again. With four in the game. 437 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they win the turnover battle pretty much four 438 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:34,479 Speaker 1: to nothing, and it's a big reason why the game 439 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: is pretty much never in doubt from wire to wire, 440 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: which against the Chiefs really doesn't ever happen with anyone 441 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: just because of their scoring prowess. So the way in 442 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: which they have been able to get on the winning 443 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: side of the scoreboard, both offensively and defensively, and the 444 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: multitude of different ways that they have done it through 445 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: the first five weeks, I gotta say is the most 446 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: encouraging development with this team here in twenty twenty one, 447 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: because what it says, Maddie is no matter what circumstance 448 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: pops up in a game, and we all know that 449 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: both coordinators kind of adjust after that first series of 450 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: offense or defense, Oh, this is what they're doing. This 451 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: is what we're going to do now. It demonstrates to 452 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: me that the Bills have diversified their ways in which 453 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: they can win games, and the fact that the offense 454 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: and the defense are playing well at the same time 455 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: obviously goes a long way. But they're not doing it 456 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: with the same formula every week. That's what's most encouraging 457 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: to me. It's proven to me that this team can 458 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: win in a multitude of ways in any given week, 459 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: and so if the opponent is strong in this area 460 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: as opposed to a different area of the previous week's opponent, 461 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: it's not going to fire off alarm bells because they 462 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: should be able to handle it if they keep playing 463 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: this way. Yeah, and I think the defense can change 464 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: when they need to as well. We heard from Jordan 465 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: Poyer and Micah Hyde after the game and they talked 466 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: about that seventeen play drive that the Chiefs came out 467 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: and started with and the Bill's defense held them to 468 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: just a field goal. In Jordan pointersa, we came off 469 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 1: the field, we made some adjustments, and we kept going. 470 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: This is a defense that knows each other's strengths. They 471 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: are mature enough to make those sideline adjustments throughout the game. 472 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: Their defensive staff listens to the players when it comes 473 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: to ideas of how to make adjustments things that they're 474 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: seeing real time in the game and apply it. Okay, 475 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: we need to do this, We need to do that, 476 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: We need to mix it up here. This defense operates 477 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: the way that they do because they have been together 478 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: for so long. Looking at the secondary guys who have 479 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: played together for three years, four years, five years together, 480 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: you're seeing that relationship, that chemistry really do them well 481 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: in terms of how they operate, what they can do. 482 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: And then the defensive line that's been put together being 483 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: able to rote hat eight guys keeping fresh legs out 484 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: there as much as you can. Your rookie Greg Rousseau 485 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: bouts a pass and has an interception last night. This 486 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: group is next level, I think because of the foundational 487 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: pieces that they've had there for so long. I mean, 488 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: they're allowing seventy eight rushing yards a game, one hundred 489 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: and seventy three passing yards a game. They're an opposing 490 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: team wants to rush, okay, we'll shut it down. An 491 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: opposing team wants to throw the ball, We'll shut it 492 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: down in the air. They have fourteen sacks, fifteen takeaways, 493 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: nine interceptions going into this game. What did we talk 494 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: about This defense hasn't really been tested yet because they 495 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: haven't played against the highest caliber of quarterback. Well that 496 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: happened last night and the defense showed up like they 497 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: have all season. Yeah, and I'll throw one more number 498 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: at everybody before we go to break here. The Chiefs 499 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: last night did run for one hundred and twenty yards 500 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: on the ground, and I think the average right around 501 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: five yards of care. And so you look at those numbers, 502 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: you're like, Ah, is there run defense got a problem out? No, 503 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: they don't, because I look at it this way. Mahomes 504 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: is going to get his yards scrambling around, and he 505 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: was a leading rusher for them. He had sixty one 506 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: yards rushing. And if you take and I know, look, 507 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: you don't take people's numbers away of this, that and 508 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: the other. If you take Mahomes rushing numbers out of 509 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: the equation, the Chiefs last night ran fifteen times for 510 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: fifty nine yards three point nine yards a carry. That's 511 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: a pretty good day against a defense. That against an 512 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: offense where you really got to kind of cover up 513 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: against the past, prevent the big play. You're never gonna 514 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: have eight men in the box. Heck, most of the time, 515 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna have seven men in the box. So to 516 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: do that against their running backs, I think was certainly 517 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: a step in the right direction and could serve as 518 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: a healthy tune up for next Monday night when they 519 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: got to face Derek Henry and the boys with a 520 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: running game that kind of carries that Titans offense. We 521 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: have to take a break here, but when we come back, 522 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: we'll take your phone calls five fifty open line for 523 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: you there.

You 532 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: can let us know at eight O three five fifty 533 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: one eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty. Chris Brown, 534 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: Mandy Glad with you here on a Bills Victory Monday. 535 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: Among the things coming up later in the show, we've 536 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: got our around the Locker Room segment where you'll hear 537 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: from some of the players. We've got Eric woodenow Our 538 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: number three. We've also got another installment of the Maddie 539 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: Awards coming up in about an hour from now. As 540 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: the street continues, we may have to keep kicking Steve 541 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: out of Mondays because, not for nothing, it's four wins 542 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: at a row with Maddie here on Monday. So I'm 543 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: just saying just something to throw out there. I'm sure 544 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: Steve wouldn't mind taking Monday off, although I think he's 545 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: I think he's banked enough days to this point. But 546 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: we want to go around the league here a little bit, 547 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: as we usually do. In the second segment on Bill's 548 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: victory Mondays, and you look at the Bill's next opponent, 549 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: Maddie the Titans, who throttled their division. I don't even 550 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: know if i'd call him arrival their division opponent Jacksonville, 551 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: who remains winless thirty seven to sixteen. Derrick Henry runs 552 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: for one thirty and three touchdowns twenty straight losses for 553 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: the Jags, who are still embroiled in Urban Meyer Gate. 554 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: And I don't know what to make of the Titans yet. 555 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: I don't think their defense is very good. It's been revamped. 556 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: They had some salary cap casualties on that side of 557 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: the ball. They have a lot of injuries. Julio Jones 558 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: still nicked up, Bud Dupree is not right, so they're 559 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: missing some important pieces. So I don't I don't really 560 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: think I have a feel for this Titans team after 561 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: five games with them. I don't know what, do you 562 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: feel any different? Or yeah? I mean, I don't know. 563 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: They're They're three and two to start the season. They've 564 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: beat the Jags, the Colts, the Seahawks. They've lost the 565 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Jets, so it's kind of like a 566 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: toss up right now. I completely agree with you. They 567 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: lose a game to the Jets that they definitely shouldn't 568 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: have lost. They lose a game to the Arizona Cardinals, 569 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: who are undefeated to start the season. The Colts aren't 570 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: that great, the Jaguars not great, the Seahawks. What's going 571 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: to happen with Russell Wilson and his finger? But I 572 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: think one shore thing is we know Derrick Henry can 573 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: go off at any moment at any time. He is 574 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: the guy for that offense. It comes down to how 575 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: you can limit him. If you can stop him, three 576 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: touchdowns is not a good job limiting him. But in 577 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: the past against the Tennessee Titans, the Bills have done 578 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: a good job limiting Derrick Henry if I can remember 579 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: correctly to our past couple matchups. Yeah, they definitely have 580 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: Henry average four and a half yards per carry yesterday 581 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: against the Jaguars defense that has had trouble stopping people, 582 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: and they're just the Titans to me are an enigma. 583 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: I just I can't figure them out. I mean, a 584 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: j Brown is back from injury. He only had three 585 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: catches yesterday for thirty eight yards. Julio Jones is still 586 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: out of the lineup, so we'll have to monitor that 587 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: and what his health said is we make our three, 588 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: make our way through the week. He's got an extra 589 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: day to get healthy with it being a Monday night 590 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: game too, So we'll have to see where that goes 591 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: as the week wears on, because I think even though 592 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: he is an older receiver and probably not quite what 593 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: he was in his prime, he's still somebody you have 594 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: to account for if he's out there on the field. 595 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: So him and A. J. Brown opposite one another kind 596 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: of changes the conversation with respect to their offense. So 597 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on for sure. Maddie, What 598 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: the hell happened to kickers yesterday? Holy crow? Twelve miss 599 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: point after attempts and then the Cincinnati Green Bay game alone? 600 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: Good lord, did anybody want to win the game? What 601 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: the hell was going on there? Oh that's celebration when 602 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 1: oh yeah, Evan McPherson right, cringe, Oh my gosh, embarrassing 603 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: Mason Crosby struggling and then finally gets the game winner 604 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: against the Bengals, thankfully Tyler Bass was nowhere in that 605 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: equation from yesterday. I just I mean, with all of 606 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: the games that have been in as close as they 607 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: have been, as our MSG viewers are now watching Evan 608 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: McPherson kick what he believed to be that's one of 609 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: his other misses. That was the long distance miss from 610 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: fifty seven. I think it was that went off the right, upright, 611 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: But he had a chance to win it in this game. 612 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: Crosby meanwhile missed three field goals before ultimately kicking the 613 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: game winner. I gotta give coach Lafleur some credit here. 614 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 1: I mean, he knows, I know, he's he knows he's 615 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: dealing with a veteran kicker. But after he had missed three, 616 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: he had a chance to go out and kick the 617 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: game winner a fourth time. Which is insane to me 618 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: that the game unfolded in a way to give a 619 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 1: kicker four cracks at winning the damn thing. And he 620 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: looked him in the eye and he says, what do 621 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: we think And he goes, I got this coach, and 622 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: he believed him. Now here's Evan McPherson's kick. It hits 623 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: the streamer on the top of the left up right. 624 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: He's celebrating with the holder, the long snapper. They're like, 625 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: all right, we won the game, and they're like night 626 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: and it was why left? And they like what, I 627 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: don't know how you don't see that as a kicker, 628 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: like that's the only thing you're worried about. Did the 629 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: ball go through? He's convinced it did, but it had 630 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: a draw on it right at the end, like the 631 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: last five yards that had a hard draw on it. 632 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: I heard Drew Brees on Sunday Night Football saying I 633 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: wish I could do that with my golf shots. Evan 634 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 1: McPherson though, buddy, like, it didn't go through. It's clearly outside. 635 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: He's like, WHOA won the game? What's up? That was terrible? Yeah, 636 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: it was total As my daughter would say, that was 637 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: total cringe. So yeah, yeah, that was not good. But 638 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: the crazy thing is there have now been eighteen games 639 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: with a game winning score in the final minute of 640 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: regulation or overtime this season. That's the most through the 641 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: first five weeks in the league history. Eighteen games in 642 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 1: the first five weeks, that is nuts. Twenty One games 643 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: have been decided by three points or less, including four 644 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: such games yesterday. That tied. That's tied with the two 645 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 1: thousand and seven and nineteen eighty eight seasons for the 646 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: third most such games through the first five weeks of 647 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: a season in NFL history. So Green Bay ultimately wins 648 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: that game that we were showing highlights from twenty five 649 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: twenty two in overtime, and at least one game has 650 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: gone to overtime in each of the first five weeks 651 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: of the season. That's the second time that's ever happened. 652 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: The last time was, oh, you know, way back in 653 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. So just absolutely bananas. I mean, you and 654 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: I were sitting here in the studio yesterday getting ready 655 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: for Bill's field pass, and these games are finishing. I 656 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: don't know which one to look at. Yeah, we had 657 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,240 Speaker 1: red Zone on and we're watching it'd flip from game 658 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: to game to game, and we're having a great time 659 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: laughing at the Browns and Chargers game that seemed like 660 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: there was score after score after score in the Browns 661 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: seemed like they were going to do it, but then 662 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 1: they just did some Browns things and lost the game. Yeah, 663 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: that's right, And we were laughing too, because the Chargers 664 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 1: were clearly trying to kill clock at the end of 665 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: the game, score as late as possible on their drive 666 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: to leave no time on the clock for the Browns 667 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: to answer. And Austin Eckler, instead of taking a knee 668 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: and giving himself up, just kind of is, you know, 669 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,959 Speaker 1: messing around behind the line of scrimmage. And the Browns 670 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: is like, no, no, come here, come score a touchdown 671 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: so we can get the ball back. And he's like, 672 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: son of a gun, I didn't want to do that. 673 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: You gotta go down right here, go down right here, 674 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: Austin Eckler. Instead, he stays on his feet, and they're like, 675 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: all right, well, let's help you. We're gonna ask you. 676 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 1: You're right into the end zone, go score so our 677 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: offense can get the ball back. It was almost, you know, 678 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: fortunately for the Chargers it didn't prove to kill him. 679 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: But that's something that, you know, you lose that game. 680 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, that's not good, not good clock management. Now, 681 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: on the previous play he went down inbounds at like 682 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,240 Speaker 1: the five four yard line. Smart play first in goal, 683 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: you know, just take a knee on a couple of plays, 684 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: kill some clock or at least fourth the Browns to 685 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: use all their timeouts. And that was almost a bad, 686 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: bad mistake. Fortunately it didn't come back to bite them. 687 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: And I said this two weeks ago, Maddie. I said, 688 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is the closest thing to Josh Allen without 689 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: being Josh Allen. And somebody scoffed at me when they 690 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 1: said that. Tell you, ah, wow. He can pass really good. 691 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: He's an accurate passer, but he can't run like Josh. 692 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, he can run like Josh. 693 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: The only reason nobody knows that is because he was 694 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: never asked to do it at Oregon, but in a 695 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 1: few instances where he's had to do it, his quarterback 696 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,800 Speaker 1: of the Chargers, dude can run. He is the closest 697 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: thing to Josh Allen in the entire league. Just keep 698 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: an eye out for him the Chargers, unless they run 699 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: into a bunch of injuries like they have in recent years, 700 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,839 Speaker 1: they're gonna be there at the end of this thing. Yeah, 701 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 1: they had Justin Herbert's had four carries for twenty nine 702 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: yards a rushing touchdown. The two teams combined for over 703 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: a thousand total yards of offense. It was crazy. Herbert 704 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,720 Speaker 1: threw for four word touchdowns. Yeah, this is a really 705 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: talented quarterback who I think the comparisons that he's gotten 706 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: to Josh Allen are rightfully so. He looks like Josh 707 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: Allen in a lot of ways and the way that 708 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 1: he can be athletic as a quarterback through the air 709 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 1: on the ground of this Chargers team, This Charger's offense 710 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,399 Speaker 1: is no joke. Yeah, he's got twenty career starts. He's 711 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: already got forty four touchdown passes. True on that for 712 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 1: a second. Oh my god. They are a dangerous team 713 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: for sure. I don't think their defense is as good 714 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: as Buffalo's defense, and that may ultimately prove to sink 715 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: them when you know they reached the postseason. But they 716 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: are a dangerous, dangerous team. Let's quickly go to the 717 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,240 Speaker 1: phones at eight O three five fifty one, eight eight 718 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,479 Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty where we have open lines 719 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: for you and we're asking you what did last night's 720 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: win tell you is different about this year's Bill's team. 721 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: We lead off today with Bob in Hamburg. Bob, what 722 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one Bills Live. 723 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: Hey Gaff, you guys great to see on TV. What 724 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 1: what last night's win meant? To me was that the 725 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,320 Speaker 1: rest of the NFL is looking at the Buffalo Bills 726 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: saying we are the team to beat in the AFC. 727 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: Straight up. Yeah, I to be honest with you, I 728 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: didn't think the Bills we're gonna win yesterday, and they 729 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: came out and they just kicked ass on defense on offense, 730 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: and they were unbeatable. So now it's like, bring it 731 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,720 Speaker 1: on from anybody else. And that's all I had to say. Yeah. 732 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,879 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Maddie, but I think there 733 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: was somewhat. I mean, the Bills as players themselves may 734 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: not acknowledge this publicly, but I think there was a 735 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: mental psyche hurdle to get over that made beating the 736 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs in this game necessary for them to truly believe. 737 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: You know, It's kind of like that SNL moment, you know, 738 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: Stuart's smally looking at them or gosh, Darnett, I'm good enough, 739 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: and you know, you gotta believe in yourself, and so 740 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: I think the win validates that for them. I'm sure 741 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: they believe they could hang with the Chiefs. They were 742 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,280 Speaker 1: talented enough to play with the Chiefs, but they needed 743 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: the victory to validate it. Not only to themselves, but 744 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: clearly to the rest of the league and you know, 745 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,320 Speaker 1: the pundits at large who are finally recognizing the Bills 746 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: as a true AFC power. And I think the question 747 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: for the defense was can we stop an offense like 748 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: the Chiefs? Can we stop Patrick Mahomes? And I think 749 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: the tone setter was that first drive. The Chiefs go 750 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: seventeen plays on that drive. Jordan Player and Micah hib 751 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: were like, yeah, we were on the field for so 752 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: long on that drive, we remember it. They were like, 753 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: wasn't at nineteen plays? Not seventeen plays in the postgame 754 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: press conference room, but they hold the Chiefs to a 755 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 1: field goal on that drive, and that was the tone setter. 756 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: A turnover on downs in the first half to another 757 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,320 Speaker 1: their tone center. This defense was able to do things 758 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs that they couldn't do last year. I 759 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: think this was a vibe check for the Buffalo Bill's defense. 760 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 1: Can we do it? Are we the defense that we 761 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: think we are? Can we do it against a really 762 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 1: good offense? Yep? They can watch out everybody else. Yeah, 763 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 1: we will take a break here, but when come back, 764 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: we'll get to Jim and Oleyan You'll be first up 765 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: after the break open line for you, though, at eight 766 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 1: oh three five fifty one fifty two, five fifty What 767 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: did last night's win tell you is different about this 768 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: year's Bills team?

The Bills respond 774 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,959 Speaker 1: and thence on their opening drive. That's the orrid zone 775 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,919 Speaker 1: play of the game.

Chris Brown, Manny glamb with you 778 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 1: here on another Bill's victory Monday, the fourth in a row. 779 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 1: Bills now four and one on the season after dropping 780 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,479 Speaker 1: the opener to the Steelers. They are now the number 781 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,720 Speaker 1: one team in the league in scoring and the number 782 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: one team in the league in points. Allowed. Good place 783 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: to be, healthy place to be going forward. In case 784 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,760 Speaker 1: you were wondering, the Chiefs defense, which has been horrible 785 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: through the first month of the season, is now even worse. 786 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 1: On paper, they are now last in the league and 787 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: yards per play allowed. They are thirty first in total defense, 788 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: thirty first in sacks per play, so don't get any 789 00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback, and they're also now last in 790 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 1: the league in points allowed. Yeah. Let's get back to 791 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 1: the phones, though, and we're asking you today in the 792 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: Twitter conversation, what did last night's win tell you is 793 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,359 Speaker 1: different about this year's Bills team. We're going to lead 794 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 1: off here with Jim and Olean. Jim, what do you 795 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: have for us? You're on One Bill's Live. Hey, Gails 796 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: and guys. I just love you know, just being a 797 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: little bit sleepy today because of staying up late last night. 798 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: But the Bills played a complete game. And the difference 799 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: between like last week and this week is they turned 800 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 1: field goals into touchdowns what they needed to do. I 801 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: was sort of amused by the postgame interview when Andy 802 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: Reid said he didn't see this coming. Who did they think? 803 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 1: Who do you think they was playing? Yeah? What's the 804 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 1: matter you or what? Yeah? I saw that comment, Jim, 805 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 1: and I was one I was trying to ask tain 806 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 1: whether he was talking about the Bills or whether he 807 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: was talking about his own team. That he didn't think 808 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: the struggles were this large, and on defense, the Bills 809 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 1: truly did expose them in a big way. I mean, 810 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 1: it wasn't I mean, the chunk plays that the Chiefs 811 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 1: defense gave up is what they're used to seeing their 812 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:23,919 Speaker 1: offense due to other teams, and the script was completely flipped, right, Mattie, Yeah. 813 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: I mean in the first half the Bills averaged around 814 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: twelve yards per play, finished the game at around ten 815 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: yards per play. I mean, this offense was going off 816 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: and before this game, the Bills offense, their yards per 817 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 1: play average wasn't too large, and so to see them 818 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: jump from I don't know what it is off the 819 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 1: top of my head, but to see them jump in 820 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 1: several yards per play against the Chiefs defense that had 821 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 1: already been giving up a lot of yards and a 822 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 1: lot of points per game, I think solidifies what this 823 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 1: offense is, what their identity is, and what they can 824 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 1: do against teams. I mean, going into this one, you 825 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 1: think about Josh Allen's deep ball and who he was 826 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,320 Speaker 1: able to connect with and his percentages. It wasn't that great. 827 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 1: And to do it against a Chiefs defense, yes, not 828 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 1: the best in the league, but I think this is 829 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 1: a confidence booster too for facet of this offense. We 830 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 1: haven't seen the Bills go to the deep ball as 831 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 1: much as they did last night, and of course it's 832 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 1: because they were hitting on it. But I think this 833 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 1: is going to help out the Bills going down the 834 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: road when it comes to wanting a deep ball, throwing 835 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 1: up a deep ball, just knowing what they were able 836 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 1: to do against the Chiefs in this one. I mean, 837 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,239 Speaker 1: what did you think of the offense that Brian day 838 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 1: Ball called last night against this Chiefs defense. Yeah, what 839 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,240 Speaker 1: I liked was the way they mixed in some twenty 840 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,399 Speaker 1: one personnel with Reggie Gilliam. There were even some play 841 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: I think there were one or two plays where they 842 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 1: had Moss and Singletary on the field at the same 843 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 1: time down in the red zone. But I think that 844 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: wrinkle kind of threw the Chiefs off a little bit. 845 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 1: And again, Maddie, I know we talked about it earlier 846 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 1: this season, but we said the Bills efficiency through the 847 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 1: first month of the season running the football is good 848 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,480 Speaker 1: tape to put out there because it's forcing defenses to 849 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: prepare for the possibility of the Bills leaning on the 850 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 1: run game. In certain series or in certain locations on 851 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,719 Speaker 1: the field based on field position. And I think when 852 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,520 Speaker 1: they came out in twenty one personnel, Kansas City responded 853 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 1: and tried to put three linebackers on the field to 854 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: match up, and then they would throw out of twenty 855 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,880 Speaker 1: one and they'd get mismatches. So the use of the 856 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 1: personnel groupings kind of threw off the Chiefs and made 857 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 1: them slower on the field, which made it easier to 858 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,080 Speaker 1: create space for the passing targets. That's the wrinkle that 859 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,480 Speaker 1: I liked from Brian day Ball last night. Mark in 860 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 1: West Seneca, you're on one Bills Live, What do you 861 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 1: have for us? Hey? Good afternoon, guys. How are you good? Hey? 862 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 1: There was a lot of talk last week leading up 863 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:03,320 Speaker 1: to the game, and the mindset basically was, Hey, the 864 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 1: Bills want to be the team like Casey. They're gonna 865 00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:06,879 Speaker 1: have to show up and they're gonna have to play 866 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 1: their best game in order to do it. But I 867 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 1: think what last night's game showed was that even a 868 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 1: team like Casey and the guys proved this to themselves. 869 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 1: I think this is a even our higher level of 870 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 1: confidence they should have. Now if you don't show up 871 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,239 Speaker 1: and play your best game against US as good a 872 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 1: team as you are. Guess what's going to happen, Guys, 873 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna be looking at a bad score at the 874 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 1: end of the game. And then I had a question 875 00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 1: for you, Chris leading up to next week's game, being 876 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 1: that they're so stout with that running game, can you 877 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: see I don't see Boogie coming out of the lineup 878 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,280 Speaker 1: anymore from what I've seen of him of two weeks, 879 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,760 Speaker 1: but could you see them even maybe making a drastic 880 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 1: move like taking at Oliver out of the game and 881 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 1: putting in either Butler or Phillips to be even more 882 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 1: stout up front. I don't know if the games would 883 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,360 Speaker 1: equate to the position they'd have to playing on a 884 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: defensive line. Are you saying that? Are you saying that 885 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:06,439 Speaker 1: because they're playing Derrick Henry this coming week? Is that way? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 886 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: it's a valid question mark. I think it'll be taken 887 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:13,239 Speaker 1: into consideration. I think Ed's playing pretty good, though, I 888 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,920 Speaker 1: think he's doing more than just flashing. I mean, he's 889 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 1: good for a couple of tackles are lost for loss 890 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: per week. I think Starr has created more opportunities for 891 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 1: him to be the kind of penetrating interior player they 892 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 1: want him to be, and so I don't know if 893 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 1: they want to disrupt that. I mean, unless they truly 894 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 1: believe that Harrison Phillips or Vernon Butler gives them a 895 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 1: better chance to win than Ed Oliver. I think Ed 896 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 1: Oliver stays in. As a matter of fact, the only 897 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,400 Speaker 1: convincing you need is who the one technique defensive tackles 898 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 1: were yesterday, Star Latula, who you would wholly expect to 899 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,440 Speaker 1: be in the lineup every single week and start and 900 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 1: play the majority of the snaps in that role. But 901 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 1: the other guy was Justin Zimmer. Justin Zimmer is playing 902 00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,480 Speaker 1: and is up and active more than Harrison Phillips and 903 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 1: Vernon Butler. That's all you need to know about the 904 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:08,359 Speaker 1: defensive interior lineup week to week. He has outperformed them 905 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 1: and he's getting rewarded with more playing time. Yeah, and 906 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: Justin Zimmer had two quarterback hits last night. This is 907 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,399 Speaker 1: a guy who came to Buffalo not a big name. 908 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: Maybe not a big name still, but his production, what 909 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 1: he's able to do when he's on the field, this 910 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 1: defense loves him. When you when us players about Justin Zimmer. 911 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 1: They like what he's able to do, they like the 912 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 1: role that he plays. He's a dog, he's a get 913 00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 1: after a type defensive lineman. He's a guy who's gonna 914 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:43,000 Speaker 1: run down somebody twelve yards down the field if he 915 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 1: needs to. And that's the effort that this defense loves 916 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: from players like him. Yeah, exactly. And you know, could 917 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: there be some Might one of those guys be up 918 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 1: next week because you want a little born beef on 919 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 1: the interior perhaps, so maybe an if it's a one 920 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,839 Speaker 1: or the other kind of situation, maybe you have either 921 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 1: Phillips or Butler up just to have a little bit 922 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: more beef inside. So I get what you're saying, Mark, 923 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule it out. I don't know if it's 924 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,880 Speaker 1: going to come at the expensive at Oliver though. I 925 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,279 Speaker 1: don't think he's the guy that takes his seat as 926 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,400 Speaker 1: a result. So we'll take a break here eight oh 927 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 1: three oh five fifty to get on board with us 928 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,160 Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. What 929 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,280 Speaker 1: did that win last night tell you is different about 930 00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 1: this year's Bills team? Let us know. We got an 931 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 1: open line for you on the phone lines. Otherwise, hit 932 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,000 Speaker 1: us up on the tweet sheet. It's one Bill's live. 933 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 1: We'll be going around in the locker room when we return. 934 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:53,160 Speaker 1: We'll see in a few minutes at a Steve Tasker 935 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 1: who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique. 936 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve, 937 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:04,479 Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the straded beer 938 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 1: of normalcy here. All right, welcome back our number two 939 00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,720 Speaker 1: of it bills victory Monday, and our number two means 940 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 1: it's time to go around the locker room, presented by 941 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 1: connect Life, your blood and organ donor network, and we 942 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:28,320 Speaker 1: begin with who else Josh Allen, who was chucking the 943 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 1: ball all over the field huge plays at the beginning 944 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 1: of the game, including a fifty three yard touchdown to 945 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, a thirty five yard touchdown to Emmanuel Sanders. 946 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 1: So here is Allen on the big play production against 947 00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. It was one of those games. I was 948 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,000 Speaker 1: talking to some of the guys. I know, we didn't 949 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 1: have a lot of plays. We don't have really a 950 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,280 Speaker 1: lot of third downs, really a lot of first downs, 951 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 1: but we had a lot of explosive plays. Guys got 952 00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 1: open mate, some unbelievable plays. Um, you know, he ran 953 00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 1: a great route Dawson ad Libbin and again just our backs, 954 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, we're big when they were trying to get 955 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 1: the cover two stuff getting to him and just getting 956 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: to him quick and just getting some rack after that. 957 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 1: But our guys made some plays. And again, when you 958 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 1: when you have a defense that can go out there 959 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 1: and you know, play against a really good offense, maybe 960 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 1: one of the best offenses in the league and do that, 961 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's very reassuring. So that final point Maddie 962 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,759 Speaker 1: that he made there, I think is a very important 963 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 1: one where he said, when the defense is playing the 964 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:40,320 Speaker 1: way our defense is playing, it's very reassuring. We've talked 965 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 1: a lot on this show and on other programs that 966 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 1: we do about how the sugar rush Josh Allen or 967 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:52,040 Speaker 1: the peel Josh Allen off the ceiling guy sometimes tries 968 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,040 Speaker 1: to do too much. I wonder if that was a 969 00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:59,840 Speaker 1: by product of a defense last year that wasn't playing 970 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,760 Speaker 1: like this, and it maybe put more of a burden 971 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,360 Speaker 1: in Josh's mind, like, well, I gotta do this, and 972 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,560 Speaker 1: I gotta do this because they might give up another 973 00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,439 Speaker 1: score or I don't know if those guys are gonna 974 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,319 Speaker 1: be able to hold him. So I gotta get seven here, 975 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:13,920 Speaker 1: I gotta do a little more here, I gotta do 976 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,880 Speaker 1: a little more there, And then he almost tries to 977 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 1: do too much. This year. It's almost as if the 978 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 1: way the defense is playing is giving him a sense 979 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 1: of security that Okay, look I don't have to do 980 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 1: it all. I just gotta play with him myself, play 981 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,960 Speaker 1: my game, and as long as the defense and the 982 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 1: defense will do their part and will be good. It's 983 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 1: almost like there's this intercom with him this season that 984 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 1: is not allowing you know, the sugar Hi Josh Allen 985 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 1: to reappear anywhere. Yeah, I don't think there's the pressure 986 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 1: on either side of the ball to go out there 987 00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 1: and do anything crazy. The offense isn't putting the pressure 988 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: on the defense to get off the field as quickly 989 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,320 Speaker 1: as they can every single drive. The defense isn't putting 990 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: the pressure on the offense to score touchdowns on every 991 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 1: single drive. And I think when you have that happening, 992 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 1: you have each side of the ball playing with a 993 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,640 Speaker 1: type of freedom that maybe they wouldn't normally play with 994 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 1: if there was that type of pressure, Like, hey, we 995 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,080 Speaker 1: got to lean on you defense because the offense isn't 996 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,200 Speaker 1: performing like it should, so you have to go out 997 00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 1: there and we're putting the pressure on you to make plays. 998 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,920 Speaker 1: And same thing on Josh Allen. The pressure is not 999 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,560 Speaker 1: there for him, so he plays with a sense of 1000 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 1: ease now, and like you said, maybe doesn't tappen to 1001 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,240 Speaker 1: that sugar high, sugar rush Josh Allen of the past 1002 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:40,360 Speaker 1: that we don't see too much anymore, right we also, 1003 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,920 Speaker 1: Josh was also asked after the game about the fourth 1004 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 1: quarter touchdown drive. The big plays weren't as numerous in 1005 00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 1: the second half of the game, and I think when 1006 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,719 Speaker 1: it was like thirty one to twenty, there were still 1007 00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,800 Speaker 1: some people who, including me, who had enough respect for 1008 00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,800 Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense to say, okay, look this thing is 1009 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,520 Speaker 1: put to bed yet. But then they finally put it 1010 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 1: to bed with the fourth quarter touchdown drive. So here 1011 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 1: is Josh on their ability to add some cushion to 1012 00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,799 Speaker 1: their lead near the end. We just wanted to put 1013 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 1: put together a good drive, you know, and uh, you know, 1014 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 1: we're fortunate enough to do that. Like I said, we 1015 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 1: had guys make some plays. Yeah, we knew that if 1016 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,320 Speaker 1: we can go down there and score just with how 1017 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,320 Speaker 1: much time was left. But again, this is an offense 1018 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: where it doesn't matter really how much time, how many 1019 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 1: points they're down. They've shown it time to time again 1020 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 1: to be able to come back from death sits like those. 1021 00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 1: So we had to continue to apply the pressure and 1022 00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 1: continue to be us, which you know is no surprise. 1023 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:46,720 Speaker 1: Now here's one thing about that last touchdown pass. Tyranne Matthew, 1024 00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 1: who we know is a ballhawk. He is so close 1025 00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: to making a play on that pass that goes to 1026 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 1: Sanders for his second touchdown of the game. He is 1027 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 1: closing on the assing lane so quickly and Josh just 1028 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,240 Speaker 1: puts so much velocity on the ball he can't get 1029 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:13,120 Speaker 1: there in time, and Tyrann Matthew is literally hopping mad 1030 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 1: that he couldn't get to the ball, which, as we know, 1031 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 1: wound up being a short touchdown pass to Sanders for 1032 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,560 Speaker 1: his second of the game to make it thirty eight 1033 00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,560 Speaker 1: to twenty after the extra point. I don't know what 1034 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,440 Speaker 1: it is, but I always seem to revel in the 1035 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:32,840 Speaker 1: exasperation of Bill's opposing players because he came close to 1036 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,840 Speaker 1: making a play and he's just going to the sideline 1037 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,200 Speaker 1: like Son of a gun. I thought I had it, 1038 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:44,560 Speaker 1: but he wasn't quick enough because twelve year VET Emmanuel 1039 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: Sanders was able to beat him on that one. That 1040 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 1: fourth down or fourth quarter drive to score another touchdown 1041 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 1: to get up thirty eight to twenty, I think was 1042 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,160 Speaker 1: the nail in the coffin there. It was a twelve 1043 00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 1: play drive. I think it just shows the maturity the 1044 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,160 Speaker 1: confidence of this offense being able to put something like 1045 00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 1: that together in the fourth quarter when I think they 1046 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 1: needed one more score as a confidence booster as that 1047 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 1: this game is over type feel. I mean, the fourth 1048 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,360 Speaker 1: quarter drive is one that I think we're going to 1049 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:22,000 Speaker 1: look back a lot on seeing Josh Allen being able 1050 00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:26,520 Speaker 1: to orchestrate something like that and go up eighteen points 1051 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,360 Speaker 1: against the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah, and our MSG viewers 1052 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 1: are watching. Tyron Matthew put his hands on his head 1053 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,800 Speaker 1: for the second time in the game because he couldn't 1054 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,960 Speaker 1: make a play on the ball there. He also had 1055 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 1: his hands on his head when he couldn't believe Daniel 1056 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,920 Speaker 1: Sorenson forgot all about Dawson Knox, who ran behind him 1057 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,480 Speaker 1: as Josh scrambled out to the right sideline and then 1058 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,440 Speaker 1: threw him at fifty yard pass and then Dawson pretty 1059 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,000 Speaker 1: much cruises the last five yards into the end zone. 1060 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:57,360 Speaker 1: Just ridiculous, ridiculous stuff. We would be remiss if we 1061 00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:01,680 Speaker 1: did not get Josh's take on his is second career 1062 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,960 Speaker 1: hurdle play for a first down, this time over Chiefs 1063 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:12,160 Speaker 1: nickel corner Lagarious sneat. You first second option really weren't there, 1064 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 1: So I just kind of felt felt to Lane Um 1065 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,840 Speaker 1: and obviously knowing the situation, you know, how the game 1066 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:21,520 Speaker 1: was going, I just felt like, you know, we needed 1067 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 1: something to to to get a first down there, and again, 1068 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help our 1069 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,040 Speaker 1: team win win a football game, and in my mind 1070 01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 1: that was at the top of the list. You were 1071 01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,360 Speaker 1: going to clear him. Think you really never know until 1072 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 1: it happens. It's just one of those split second decision 1073 01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 1: things that sometimes you gotta get lucky for. And Um, 1074 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 1: you know, being a bigger guy, I understand that sometimes 1075 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna try to hit low and in that situation, 1076 01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 1: it worked out. Uh. I think the biggest comment that 1077 01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,720 Speaker 1: came out of the hurdle play was coach McDermott when 1078 01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,520 Speaker 1: he was asked about it. Maddie. He basically said, yeah, 1079 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:01,120 Speaker 1: I'll take that. I'll take that. Um. I think there 1080 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 1: are times where coach McDermott's own competitive nature runs parallel 1081 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,600 Speaker 1: to that of Josh Allen, and I think that play 1082 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 1: was an example of that, because a lot of times 1083 01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,400 Speaker 1: you hear coaches and they're a little leery about their 1084 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 1: quarterback going out on the edge and doing stuff like that. 1085 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,919 Speaker 1: But he was all about it, all about it. Yeah, 1086 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott said, Josh Allen could hurdle me for a 1087 01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 1: first down if he needs to. And I love when 1088 01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 1: you see those two match each other's competitive level. I mean, 1089 01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,080 Speaker 1: we hear Brian Davill talk about it all the time 1090 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. They could be shooting paper in a 1091 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 1: trash can, he always says, and Josh Allen would be 1092 01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,800 Speaker 1: just as competitive as we see him on the field. 1093 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean, clearing that hurdle, jumping over snead. There's not 1094 01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,760 Speaker 1: many quarterbacks in the league that would attempt that in 1095 01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 1: a situation like that to get a first down, let 1096 01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 1: alone succeed at doing that. Josh Allen, he's a different 1097 01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 1: type of quarterback. Now, speaking of coach McDermott, he was 1098 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,120 Speaker 1: already after the game, probably to no one's surprise, compartmentalizing 1099 01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,840 Speaker 1: the victory. He wasn't taking credit away from anybody, but 1100 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 1: he was very quick to point out they've only played 1101 01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 1: five games, and while four and one is great and 1102 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,000 Speaker 1: the win over the Chiefs is noteworthy, they were not 1103 01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,040 Speaker 1: going to make it more than what it was, which 1104 01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 1: clearly to them, as we heard from a lot of 1105 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,120 Speaker 1: the players too, Maddie, it's just another victory to put 1106 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,600 Speaker 1: on put in the win column. And I remember Josh 1107 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 1: even said last time I checked, four wins doesn't get 1108 01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 1: you to the playoffs. So here is coach McDermott on 1109 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:44,640 Speaker 1: staying focused despite the challenges from the Chiefs this week. 1110 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,680 Speaker 1: Every season's different. Like I said earlier, this is this 1111 01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 1: is a really good football team, you know, winning the 1112 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:56,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl two years ago and then last year you 1113 01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 1: know in the game again that's hard to do in 1114 01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,440 Speaker 1: and of itself, and they're well coo. They have good 1115 01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:06,600 Speaker 1: quality players, they play together. You know, there's there's no 1116 01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,520 Speaker 1: mistake that they've been good for for a long time 1117 01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,360 Speaker 1: under Andy Reid and his staff. So it's good to 1118 01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 1: come out here and get a good road win in 1119 01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 1: a tough environment with a weather delay. I think it 1120 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 1: showed a lot of mental toughness by our group. Yeah, 1121 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 1: hour and ten minute rain delay, lightning delay, whatever you 1122 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,479 Speaker 1: want to call it. Severe weather delay that can mess 1123 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,280 Speaker 1: with you. I mean we saw that in the Super 1124 01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 1: Bowl when the Ravens and the Niners were playing each other. 1125 01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,360 Speaker 1: Ravens had that game in complete control. Then the place 1126 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 1: goes dark for about thirty minutes, and all of a sudden, 1127 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,600 Speaker 1: the Niners are back in it. It's a one score game. 1128 01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 1: They got to get a stop at the end to 1129 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,400 Speaker 1: win the dang Super Bowl when they were up by 1130 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,640 Speaker 1: more than two scores. I believe if my memory serves 1131 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,960 Speaker 1: me correctly, so knowing how quickly momentum can shift in 1132 01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 1: just a regular game, you throw in an hour and 1133 01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 1: a half rain delay, or hour and ten minutes plus halftime, 1134 01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,000 Speaker 1: it came out to an hour and a half. That 1135 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 1: is thing that could have easily sent the game in 1136 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:06,080 Speaker 1: another in another direction, and the Bills didn't allow that 1137 01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: to happen. Yeah, and my Cubs fandom self goes back 1138 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 1: to when the Cubs want to round series. There was 1139 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,680 Speaker 1: a huge rain delay in that last game. I think 1140 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,880 Speaker 1: it lasted around an hour. I remember the game finishing 1141 01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 1: up around two in the morning, and I'm celebrating and 1142 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:27,240 Speaker 1: crying by myself. But it's what happens in the locker 1143 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:31,280 Speaker 1: room in the clubhouse during a delay like that that 1144 01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 1: could impact the rest of the game. I mean, the 1145 01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:38,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs were in the comfy situation. It was their home field. 1146 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:42,000 Speaker 1: They had the nice locker room. They're at home. They 1147 01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,400 Speaker 1: can go do whatever they want, maybe grab some snacks 1148 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,040 Speaker 1: that the Buffalo Bills didn't have, or just feel more 1149 01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,840 Speaker 1: relaxed in that type of environment. The Buffalo Bills have 1150 01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:54,200 Speaker 1: a crappy locker room that they're in. Sean McDermott said 1151 01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,240 Speaker 1: it was super hot. Guys were coming out of the 1152 01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 1: locker room because it was so hot. They were eating 1153 01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,120 Speaker 1: peanut butter jelly sandwiches with too much peanut butter on it. 1154 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,160 Speaker 1: But the composure that they were able to have coming 1155 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,840 Speaker 1: out of the locker room in the second half, being 1156 01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,200 Speaker 1: able to score in the third quarter with that Mike 1157 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 1: Hyde pick six and then again in the fourth quarter 1158 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,360 Speaker 1: with that long touchdown drive that the Bills were able 1159 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:22,120 Speaker 1: to put together, I think shows the composure. The maturity. 1160 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: I've said maturity a lot this show, but just not 1161 01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,560 Speaker 1: letting something like that impact you because it easily could. 1162 01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,360 Speaker 1: And the Bills didn't score on the first two drives. 1163 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,320 Speaker 1: I think coming out of the locker room to start 1164 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,600 Speaker 1: the second half, and I was kind of thinking, did 1165 01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,000 Speaker 1: the air go out of the tires here? What's happening? 1166 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 1: And then Mica Hyde has that pick six and it 1167 01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:49,120 Speaker 1: reignites what the Buffalo Bills were able to do. Emmanuel Sanders, 1168 01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 1: who had two touchdowns in the game, his second such 1169 01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 1: game in a Bill's uniform, with two scores. In a contest, 1170 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,320 Speaker 1: he talked about connecting on the big plays that he 1171 01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:03,960 Speaker 1: did with Alan seventeen and Special Special, like you know, 1172 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,520 Speaker 1: I know everybody comes like what did you do? But 1173 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,200 Speaker 1: really I just got open. And then the balls he's 1174 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,040 Speaker 1: delivering on the run. It's just it's ridiculous what he's 1175 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 1: doing out there, even him jumping over the fender. I mean, 1176 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 1: he was just on a whole another level of the night. 1177 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,720 Speaker 1: And a few times, yeah, hat my teammate, and yeah, 1178 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,600 Speaker 1: we joke a lot, but I became a fan for 1179 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:24,720 Speaker 1: a little bit. I was like, snap out of, snap 1180 01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 1: out of you gotta go win a game. So that's 1181 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,520 Speaker 1: just one of the comments that he made about Josh 1182 01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:32,800 Speaker 1: he was He continued to wax poetic about what Josh 1183 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,520 Speaker 1: can do on a football field for this team. Let's 1184 01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,360 Speaker 1: hear this one as well. He was the same Josh 1185 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,760 Speaker 1: that we used to all practice. Is just you know, 1186 01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,920 Speaker 1: he was special. He's been special the past like four weeks, 1187 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,160 Speaker 1: you know. But I think, you know, primetime spot, like 1188 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,960 Speaker 1: I think the hurdling over the guy and then the 1189 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 1: past to me was just ridiculous. I mean like it 1190 01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,640 Speaker 1: was on the line rope, and after I caught it, 1191 01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,080 Speaker 1: I didn't even know what to do because I just 1192 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,960 Speaker 1: kept thinking, like, yo, that bro was crazy, like literally, 1193 01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:06,160 Speaker 1: like the first one, like literally he just put it 1194 01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 1: there and it just stuck to my hand. I was like, 1195 01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,720 Speaker 1: what the heck? I mean this due special tonight. He's 1196 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,520 Speaker 1: a special quarterback and I play with a lot of 1197 01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:17,160 Speaker 1: great ones. He's special, man, He's special. So I think 1198 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,640 Speaker 1: the over under on special on those two soundbites was 1199 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:23,800 Speaker 1: probably about six or seven. Uh. Dawson Knox used that 1200 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 1: phrase as well, as we'll hear in a second. Um, 1201 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,680 Speaker 1: it's clear to the team, to his teammates that some 1202 01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 1: of the things he is doing are not even within 1203 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:41,040 Speaker 1: the capabilities of probably about ninety percent of the quarterbacks 1204 01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,400 Speaker 1: in this league, who are the best of the best. 1205 01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 1: So I think they know just who they're playing with. Um, 1206 01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,880 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that they're any less amazed when he 1207 01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 1: does something ridiculous like that throw, like on TV. If 1208 01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,360 Speaker 1: you're watching this game at home on television, that long 1209 01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:02,160 Speaker 1: touchdown pass, I don't think he's appreciated because you don't 1210 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:06,320 Speaker 1: have depth perception, the space of separation between the coverage 1211 01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 1: and the receiver. That is an otherworldly throw, with the 1212 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 1: haste with which he made it, like it was just 1213 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 1: no second thought, bang on aline thirty five yards in 1214 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,519 Speaker 1: the guy's hand, as Sanders said, it's stuck to his hand, 1215 01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:23,880 Speaker 1: didn't even know what he was doing. He's like, well, 1216 01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,720 Speaker 1: I don't even know what to do. Do I celebrate here? 1217 01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,160 Speaker 1: How the hell did that just happen? And I think 1218 01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 1: hearing something like that from Emmanuel Sanders, a guy who's 1219 01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 1: played in the league for twelve years, who's caught touchdown 1220 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:39,760 Speaker 1: passes from thirteen different quarterbacks, I think it says a lot. 1221 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,920 Speaker 1: This is a guy who's played with some really great quarterbacks. 1222 01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,680 Speaker 1: As you talked about earlier in the show, Chris and 1223 01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,800 Speaker 1: he wanted to come to the Buffalo Bills because he 1224 01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,080 Speaker 1: wanted to win a Super Bowl. He could have chosen 1225 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 1: to go elsewhere. There were other teams interested in him too, 1226 01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 1: and he chose to come to Buffalo because he thought 1227 01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 1: that this team had that type of potential. I remember 1228 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,880 Speaker 1: in one of his first press conferences, he said, I 1229 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,600 Speaker 1: used to watch Josh Allen film last year because I 1230 01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 1: thought he was a really good quarterback. And I think 1231 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 1: now you're just seeing manuel standers like live this out 1232 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 1: and he's like a kid about it. He's giddy that 1233 01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,519 Speaker 1: he gets to be in an offense like this and 1234 01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,680 Speaker 1: catch passes from one of the most athletic quarterbacks in 1235 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 1: the NFL. And Dawston Knox echoed the sentiment because he 1236 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:28,160 Speaker 1: had a fifty yard pass dropped on him right between 1237 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 1: the numbers from a scrambling Josh Allen a little bit 1238 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 1: later in the game. It's just another player that Josh made. 1239 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,240 Speaker 1: I mean he's on the run. I don't know how 1240 01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:39,600 Speaker 1: many yards you threw that in the air, but it 1241 01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 1: was just one of those things we practiced, like if 1242 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 1: we're on the sideline, you got to come back to Josh. 1243 01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:45,639 Speaker 1: I saw Diggs was over there coming back to him. 1244 01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 1: So if no one's deep, he go deep. And thankfully 1245 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,120 Speaker 1: Josh saw man. I mean yeah, like we saw he's 1246 01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 1: on the run throwing the ball. I mean, I'm sure 1247 01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,760 Speaker 1: it was fifty yards just on a dot, like it 1248 01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,080 Speaker 1: was a perfect Oh. I was just the whole time 1249 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,200 Speaker 1: it's in there, I'm just like, gotta catch it, gotta catch, you, 1250 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:05,360 Speaker 1: gotta catch. But yeah, I mean, he's just he's special. 1251 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 1: And there's that word again. Um, so I know that 1252 01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,640 Speaker 1: Bills fan. I don't want to say Bills fans are 1253 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:16,240 Speaker 1: spoiled by having Josh Allen, but it's almost as if 1254 01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:21,280 Speaker 1: we're becoming desensitized to some of the special, other worldly 1255 01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:26,519 Speaker 1: plays that he is making. It's almost become somewhat routine. 1256 01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,960 Speaker 1: And I think we still, I really think we got 1257 01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,400 Speaker 1: to work to keep it all in perspective and actually 1258 01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:40,599 Speaker 1: like appreciate how rare some of these things are. Yeah, definitely, 1259 01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,559 Speaker 1: Josh Allen goes off for three hundred and fifty yards 1260 01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 1: posts a passer rating of one thirty nine. Yeah, don't 1261 01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 1: overlook the type of quarterback that the Buffalo Bills have, or, 1262 01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:54,960 Speaker 1: like you said, become desensitized to it. I think this 1263 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 1: is something that Bills fans are getting used to seeing, 1264 01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:01,880 Speaker 1: which is awesome. But it's also important to think about 1265 01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,040 Speaker 1: what the Bills used to not have and where they 1266 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 1: came from. And I got to give kudos also to 1267 01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:11,360 Speaker 1: Dawson Ox for making those catches. You think about last year, 1268 01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,240 Speaker 1: the year before, he was someone who would almost get 1269 01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:17,400 Speaker 1: too excited to make the catch. His eyes would go 1270 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,559 Speaker 1: downfield before he would get his hands on the ball. 1271 01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:23,519 Speaker 1: When it came to big play situations or maybe just 1272 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,519 Speaker 1: a reception that could be ten yards, he would already 1273 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,479 Speaker 1: have his eyes down the field. He is making the 1274 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:33,280 Speaker 1: play with his hands and then turning to go downfield. 1275 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:37,120 Speaker 1: I think that's shown a lot of growth in what 1276 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,479 Speaker 1: he's been able to do this season compared to last season. 1277 01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,000 Speaker 1: I said it yesterday on our pregame show. His reception 1278 01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:46,759 Speaker 1: percentage last year was fifty four percent. This year, coming 1279 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:50,000 Speaker 1: into the Chiefs game, it's up to seventy five percent. 1280 01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:51,560 Speaker 1: This is a guy who did a lot in the 1281 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,799 Speaker 1: off season and we're watching it translate into the games 1282 01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:58,600 Speaker 1: into big time plays, big time moments like it like 1283 01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 1: last night when him and Josh Allen connected on three 1284 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,920 Speaker 1: deep balls. Yeah, he's a bona fide matchup problem now. 1285 01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,600 Speaker 1: And if you don't respect him as a defensive coordinator 1286 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,920 Speaker 1: scheming up your defense to game plan for this team, 1287 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,080 Speaker 1: if you have the Bills on the schedule, he's shown 1288 01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,840 Speaker 1: you are going to pay for it. And you know 1289 01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,479 Speaker 1: we've been talking all day. What did the win tell 1290 01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,600 Speaker 1: you as different about the Bills team this year? I 1291 01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:23,600 Speaker 1: think offensively, it's told you that the Bills have diversified 1292 01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,519 Speaker 1: their offense. The addition of Sanders and the emergence of 1293 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:31,479 Speaker 1: Knox are the two biggest changes for the better for 1294 01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:36,400 Speaker 1: this offense because there are even more threats to worry 1295 01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,439 Speaker 1: about within the scope of their passing game. And I'm 1296 01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,519 Speaker 1: gonna tell you right now, Maddie, we're gonna watch this 1297 01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:44,879 Speaker 1: swing back. It's going to vacillate back and forth. Everybody's 1298 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:48,600 Speaker 1: paying attention to Diggs and Beasley and Dawson Knox and 1299 01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,840 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders are the ones that are eating right now. 1300 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,160 Speaker 1: They're going to adjust. They're gonna put more attention on them. 1301 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,519 Speaker 1: Watch it all swing right back to Diggs and Beasley 1302 01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:00,760 Speaker 1: in the coming weeks because you cannot cover all of 1303 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:04,000 Speaker 1: these options at once in the scope of a defensive 1304 01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,240 Speaker 1: game plan. You just can't. There's too many there's too 1305 01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,720 Speaker 1: many weapons. Yeah. I love Brian day ball in the 1306 01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,519 Speaker 1: beginning of the year during training camp, when he's being 1307 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:16,479 Speaker 1: asked about, you know, defenses have gotten to see a 1308 01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,280 Speaker 1: lot of tape on you. They're going to be able 1309 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:21,160 Speaker 1: to adjust this year. How do you look different? How 1310 01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,680 Speaker 1: do you be different? And you know, he's given a 1311 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,800 Speaker 1: company answer, a company line of you know, we'll do this, 1312 01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,080 Speaker 1: we'll do that, and probably in the back of it's 1313 01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,479 Speaker 1: mine he's gone, ha ha, Well, we threw the ball 1314 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,360 Speaker 1: to Stefan Digs and Cole Beasley last year. This year, 1315 01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,160 Speaker 1: we're going to switch it up and throw a ball 1316 01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:40,800 Speaker 1: to Dawson Knox and Emmanuel Sanders. Get ready defenses. So 1317 01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,720 Speaker 1: I love that they have the freedom to be able 1318 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,040 Speaker 1: to just hey, we're just gonna play with some new 1319 01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,640 Speaker 1: weapons now, and you guys don't have tape on it, 1320 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,519 Speaker 1: so ha ha. Yeah. Not to mention there's a more 1321 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,559 Speaker 1: effective running game that's gone with it through the course 1322 01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,760 Speaker 1: of the first five games. Maddy and I have to 1323 01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:59,120 Speaker 1: take a break here, but when we come back, it 1324 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:02,080 Speaker 1: is some thing that we do every Monday after a 1325 01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:06,599 Speaker 1: Bill's Victory, It is time for the Maddie Awards. Get ready, 1326 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,599 Speaker 1: the pomp and circumstance is coming your way next here 1327 01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,559 Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health, It's 1328 01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:29,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All Right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 1329 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:33,080 Speaker 1: the latest installment, as we do on Every Bill's Victory Monday, 1330 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,599 Speaker 1: of the one and the only Maddie Awards, presented by 1331 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:42,599 Speaker 1: Energy Mark, the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills. 1332 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,160 Speaker 1: Without any further ado, I turn it over to one 1333 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 1: Maddie glab For weeks in a row, we have had 1334 01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:53,960 Speaker 1: the Maddies. I'm expecting us to go for more weeks 1335 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 1: in a row. How about we just do it for 1336 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,360 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. It's been fun to be 1337 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:02,439 Speaker 1: on here every single week since Week one. And we'll 1338 01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 1: start with our jaw dropper of the game. I've got 1339 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,360 Speaker 1: to give it to Josh Allen. His performance. His deep 1340 01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:13,719 Speaker 1: fall stat line very impressive in the first half, going 1341 01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,519 Speaker 1: four of four for over one hundred and fifty yards, 1342 01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:20,000 Speaker 1: two passing touchdowns. I mean, Josh Allen. I said this 1343 01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,800 Speaker 1: team grew up yesterday in this win. Josh Allen grew 1344 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:28,120 Speaker 1: up yesterday in this win. He shows up in primetime games, 1345 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:32,120 Speaker 1: but I think him putting together a performance like this 1346 01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:36,719 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs specifically is going to be a confidence 1347 01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:40,320 Speaker 1: booster for him going forward. He slayed that dragon. He 1348 01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,200 Speaker 1: hasn't done it yet in his career until last night. 1349 01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:46,200 Speaker 1: They see the Chiefs three times now in his career. 1350 01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:50,200 Speaker 1: He takes them down once, drops them, drops the game 1351 01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:53,040 Speaker 1: against them in the AFC Championship game. So I think 1352 01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,680 Speaker 1: this was a hurdle that Josh Allen wanted to get over, 1353 01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 1: and we saw him do it last night in a 1354 01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:03,360 Speaker 1: strong way, in a big performance. Josh Allen was great 1355 01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:05,800 Speaker 1: last night. So he's my jaw dropper of the game. 1356 01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:11,840 Speaker 1: He cleared the hurdle quite literally. Mannie, Okay, so we 1357 01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,280 Speaker 1: go from the jaw dropper to the Silencer. I'm very 1358 01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:21,200 Speaker 1: intrigued by this title. The Silencer. What stopped the Chiefs 1359 01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:25,640 Speaker 1: offense from doing Chiefs offensive things averaging thirty three and 1360 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:29,720 Speaker 1: a half points per game, Patrick Mahomes averaging seventy two 1361 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:34,000 Speaker 1: completion percent percentage a game, No thanks. I think it 1362 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:37,519 Speaker 1: had to do with the Bills turnover on downs in 1363 01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:40,600 Speaker 1: the first half and that Micah hide pick six. I 1364 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:42,840 Speaker 1: think the turnover on downs in the first half was 1365 01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:47,000 Speaker 1: the beginning of that really silencing the Chiefs offense. And 1366 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,240 Speaker 1: then I think the nail on the coffin had to 1367 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 1: be Mica Hides pick six to see him take it 1368 01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:57,080 Speaker 1: into the end zone and to watch Patrick Mahomes after 1369 01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:01,240 Speaker 1: that play, he kind of looked like, Oh, this is 1370 01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:05,479 Speaker 1: not gonna be my night, not gonna be the night 1371 01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:09,799 Speaker 1: for my offense. So I think those two together definitely 1372 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:13,040 Speaker 1: silenced the Chiefs offense. Yeah, and the saddest thing was 1373 01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,719 Speaker 1: it wasn't even mahomes fault. I mean, Tyreek Hill catch 1374 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:19,320 Speaker 1: the damn ball, Like, what the heck was that? But hey, 1375 01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:21,760 Speaker 1: Bills benefited from it. So I'll take it any day 1376 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:23,479 Speaker 1: of the week. Thanks very much, Cheetah. We'll send you 1377 01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:26,320 Speaker 1: a thank you card. Okay, So we go from the 1378 01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:30,760 Speaker 1: silencer to the hats off award. All right, I'm giving 1379 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 1: the hats off to the Bill's defensive line. No, they 1380 01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:38,760 Speaker 1: didn't sack Patrick Mahomes four or five times, but you're 1381 01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 1: not going to give Patrick Mahomes on the ground four 1382 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:45,519 Speaker 1: or five times. But they took the ball away four 1383 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:47,960 Speaker 1: times our defense as a whole, and you have four 1384 01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,640 Speaker 1: takeaways in a game because of the way your defensive 1385 01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:53,639 Speaker 1: line is able to control the line of scrimmage, able 1386 01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:57,160 Speaker 1: to effect the quarterback. I think they were effective against 1387 01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,280 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes last night. They registered eight quarterback hits. They 1388 01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:05,240 Speaker 1: had only three quarterback hits and the AFC Championship loss. 1389 01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:08,240 Speaker 1: This defensive line, we've talked about it. They look different 1390 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,400 Speaker 1: because they weren't getting the pressure on the quarterback that 1391 01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:15,360 Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser and Sean McDermott wanted. This was the test 1392 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:19,200 Speaker 1: for them. They succeeded. They got a win. Check the box. 1393 01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:22,000 Speaker 1: The Bill's defensive line is for real, and I love 1394 01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 1: that they're doing it with more than just four guys 1395 01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:28,160 Speaker 1: rotating in quite a bit. Yeah, that defensive line was 1396 01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:30,720 Speaker 1: up to the task last night. And as we sit 1397 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,719 Speaker 1: on the pregame show, Bill's field pass Manny, they don't 1398 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,439 Speaker 1: necessarily need to get sacks to disrupt the timing of 1399 01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:39,280 Speaker 1: the passing game. They just need to move him off 1400 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,800 Speaker 1: his spot or force him to roll to his left, 1401 01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,360 Speaker 1: his non throwing side, and I thought they did a 1402 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,439 Speaker 1: pretty good job of that. They collapsed the pocket a 1403 01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,160 Speaker 1: few times as well, So yeah, that's a very deserving 1404 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 1: award there. Okay, most athletic. Now, this is a challenging 1405 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 1: one here with all the athletes running around on the field. Oh, 1406 01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:01,000 Speaker 1: it's not a challenge at all, because Josh Allen is 1407 01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:05,760 Speaker 1: the most athletic out there. Come on that hurdle, like, 1408 01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:10,639 Speaker 1: let's go, Josh Allen. He's looking at snead like should 1409 01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:12,560 Speaker 1: I do it? Should I do it? Boom, Yep, he 1410 01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,599 Speaker 1: does it, grabs a first down for the Buffalo Bills. 1411 01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,439 Speaker 1: And I loved what he said. He's like, you don't 1412 01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:22,759 Speaker 1: really know if it's gonna be a success story until 1413 01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,600 Speaker 1: after you do it, until you're in the air. I 1414 01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,120 Speaker 1: loved how he talked about approaching a hurdle like that, 1415 01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,800 Speaker 1: Like I said, there's few quarterbacks who would even attempt that. 1416 01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,800 Speaker 1: There are even fewer quarterbacks who can get up and 1417 01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,360 Speaker 1: over a guy like Josh Allen. Did I think that 1418 01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:43,720 Speaker 1: Josh Allen hurdle just encapsulates what this game was for 1419 01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,439 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and what it was not for the 1420 01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,800 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah. Pretty symbolic, you know, getting over 1421 01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:53,639 Speaker 1: the hurdle of you know, the AFC nemesis of yours 1422 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,599 Speaker 1: for the better part of the last two or three years, 1423 01:19:56,080 --> 01:20:00,320 Speaker 1: and that was kind of a symbolic emblem of what 1424 01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,760 Speaker 1: that game was for Buffalo. They literally got over the 1425 01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 1: hurdle that is Kansas City. Okay, so we have most 1426 01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:11,920 Speaker 1: athletic and we saw him pumping his arm much the 1427 01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,800 Speaker 1: way he did against Dallas on Thanksgiving for the first down. 1428 01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:17,840 Speaker 1: The bench is going nuts after he did that play. 1429 01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:21,000 Speaker 1: But you have another award for big flex because I 1430 01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:22,840 Speaker 1: don't know if there's a bigger flex than that one. 1431 01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:27,479 Speaker 1: This is tough. Oh. The bigger flex for the Buffalo Bills, 1432 01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:32,040 Speaker 1: at least for me, was that fourth quarter touchdown drive. 1433 01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:35,280 Speaker 1: They're up thirty one to twenty. Yeah, Buffalo Bills are 1434 01:20:35,280 --> 01:20:37,840 Speaker 1: probably gonna win, but they're playing against the Kansas City Chiefs. 1435 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't trust the Kansas City Chiefs are out of 1436 01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:44,080 Speaker 1: it until the clock hits zero. So what do the 1437 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,519 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills do. They orchestra at twelve play eighty five 1438 01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:51,200 Speaker 1: yard touchdown drive that takes seven minutes and fifty one 1439 01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:53,800 Speaker 1: seconds off of the clock in the fourth quarter. That 1440 01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:56,880 Speaker 1: was huge for the Buffalo Bills to take that time 1441 01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 1: away from the Kansas City Chiefs offense. They couldn't go 1442 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,479 Speaker 1: to work, they couldn't do anything. The Bills go up 1443 01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:05,479 Speaker 1: thirty eight to twenty and that's your game right there. Yeah, 1444 01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:07,080 Speaker 1: and I like the way they mixed in the run 1445 01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,040 Speaker 1: to chew up some clock on that drive. It wasn't 1446 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:12,200 Speaker 1: just like quick score big plays like it was in 1447 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,280 Speaker 1: the first half. They knew that they had the game 1448 01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,559 Speaker 1: and control and as long as they held onto the football, 1449 01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,720 Speaker 1: the Chiefs couldn't do anything about it. So yeah, the 1450 01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,320 Speaker 1: mix of run and pass, the play calling on that 1451 01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:27,240 Speaker 1: drive by Brian Dable, I think was undervalued by the 1452 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:33,639 Speaker 1: outside observers. That really was the game in control, maybe 1453 01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 1: for the most part, but as you mentioned, it's the 1454 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 1: Chiefs are the Chiefs, and they can pile up points 1455 01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,760 Speaker 1: in a hurry, So they had to be very astute 1456 01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,519 Speaker 1: with their play calling on that particular drive, and I 1457 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,560 Speaker 1: thought Dabel did a great job in mixing up the 1458 01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:51,000 Speaker 1: calls and keeping the Chiefs off balance there on that 1459 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:55,360 Speaker 1: last seven minute plus drive for sure. Okay, head scratcher 1460 01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:57,720 Speaker 1: as we go around the league, Now, you had a 1461 01:21:57,760 --> 01:21:59,760 Speaker 1: lot of choices for this, to be honest, manny, but 1462 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:03,720 Speaker 1: what did you pick? Ultimately, my head scratching moment. We've 1463 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:08,839 Speaker 1: already talked about it. The Bengals kicker Evan McPherson thinking 1464 01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 1: that he had the game winning field goal overtime for 1465 01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:15,439 Speaker 1: forty nine yards out with just a couple of minutes 1466 01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:19,640 Speaker 1: left for overtime for that game. But he didn't make it, 1467 01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:24,520 Speaker 1: and he thought he did. He's celebrating, His holder was celebrating. 1468 01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:28,400 Speaker 1: Long snappers celebrating, and you know what, it was no good. 1469 01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:32,040 Speaker 1: It's like me trying to follow someone's golf ball when 1470 01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 1: they hit it. I just have no idea where it goes. 1471 01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:38,040 Speaker 1: I could track my ball because it goes like fifty yards, 1472 01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 1: but I can't track anyone else's. So I felt Evan 1473 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:45,920 Speaker 1: McPherson not knowing if his field goal win in or not, 1474 01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 1: or his kick win in or not, because it did not, Buddy, 1475 01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:51,639 Speaker 1: the Bengals may want to get him a new vision 1476 01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 1: prescription going forward here, especially if he's got to focus 1477 01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:57,720 Speaker 1: on the uprights, you know, some fifty yards away. Maybe 1478 01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,600 Speaker 1: it is, maybe he's nearsighted, not far. I don't know. 1479 01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,080 Speaker 1: I would like to submit a candidate for this very award, 1480 01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:08,240 Speaker 1: the head Scratcher Award, because the Houston Texans are up 1481 01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:12,080 Speaker 1: twenty two to nine. Maddie on the Patriots in Houston 1482 01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,240 Speaker 1: and head coach David Culley comes up with the brilliant 1483 01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:19,880 Speaker 1: idea to run a fake not fake punt, and the 1484 01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:22,640 Speaker 1: punter kind of steps towards the line, then backs up 1485 01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:24,680 Speaker 1: to try to punt it and rifles it off the 1486 01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:29,280 Speaker 1: back of one of his lineman's helmets, and the Patriots recover. 1487 01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:31,840 Speaker 1: They go down and score. It's just and the thing 1488 01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:33,960 Speaker 1: went the wrong way and they lose twenty five twenty two. 1489 01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:37,640 Speaker 1: You're up twenty two to nine and you're the Texans. 1490 01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,920 Speaker 1: What are you doing? Just get out of there with 1491 01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:45,640 Speaker 1: a win. Ah, that was a head scratcher for me. Okay, powerhouses, 1492 01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:47,760 Speaker 1: Where are we going with this one? I think I 1493 01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:52,080 Speaker 1: know powerhouses. I don't like giving an award to a 1494 01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:55,439 Speaker 1: quarterback that, you know, Bills fans don't really like. But 1495 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:59,719 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, he went off against the Dolphins. Dolphins defense. 1496 01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,600 Speaker 1: It's nowhere to be found. It has gone into an oplternity. 1497 01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,000 Speaker 1: We don't know if they'll ever find it again. They 1498 01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:10,519 Speaker 1: beat the Dolphins forty five to seventeen. He threw for 1499 01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:13,760 Speaker 1: four hundred and eleven yards. When does Tom Brady throw 1500 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 1: for four hundred and eleven yards? He just doesn't. I 1501 01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,040 Speaker 1: think it was his first game that he did that 1502 01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:22,080 Speaker 1: he threw for five passing touchdowns. I mean, what the heck? 1503 01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:26,559 Speaker 1: So powerhouse offense, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady yesterday. 1504 01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:32,880 Speaker 1: I have to say the Dolphins are Their philosophy on 1505 01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:39,360 Speaker 1: defense is inherently flawed because of two things they want. 1506 01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:44,080 Speaker 1: They insist on playing man coverage because they believe they 1507 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:48,360 Speaker 1: have great man to man cover cornerbacks. They're not wrong, 1508 01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:55,120 Speaker 1: they do. But when you have no pass rush at 1509 01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:58,760 Speaker 1: all to help the guys on the back end, even 1510 01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:02,320 Speaker 1: the best man her corners in the league cannot cover 1511 01:25:02,479 --> 01:25:05,559 Speaker 1: people for four and five seconds down in and down out, 1512 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:10,920 Speaker 1: especially the caliber of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown. 1513 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:15,360 Speaker 1: I mean, are you serious they need a pass rusher 1514 01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,639 Speaker 1: in the worst way. I think they may have one 1515 01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:21,440 Speaker 1: in Jalen Phillips, but they haven't play an outside linebacker, 1516 01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,120 Speaker 1: and in three to four he barely rushes the quarterback. 1517 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:29,440 Speaker 1: I don't understand the Dolphins defensive principles and core philosophy 1518 01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 1: at all, and it is going to completely blow up 1519 01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:35,599 Speaker 1: in their face here. I don't see it getting better. 1520 01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:38,760 Speaker 1: They're one and four. Thanks for coming Miami. I know 1521 01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:42,120 Speaker 1: their schedule gets considerably easier from here on out, and 1522 01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 1: they'll probably stack up some wins and end up somewhere 1523 01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:48,880 Speaker 1: around five hundred. But holy cow, they were supposed to 1524 01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:51,040 Speaker 1: lean on their defense. As two we got up to 1525 01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:55,479 Speaker 1: speed and it is just not there at all. Okay, sorry, 1526 01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:57,519 Speaker 1: it didn't mean to gobble up some time. Clutch performance. 1527 01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:03,320 Speaker 1: Clutch performance has to go to the Vikings. How about 1528 01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:07,200 Speaker 1: a walk off fifty four yard field goal to beat 1529 01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:10,280 Speaker 1: the Lions. Poor Lions. They're oh and five to start 1530 01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 1: the season. Their head coach had some tears out crying. 1531 01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:16,479 Speaker 1: I feel for him. They were they were so close. 1532 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I kind of get that. But Minnesota Vikings, wait, 1533 01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:23,960 Speaker 1: way to go. We've been there. We know how tough 1534 01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:26,040 Speaker 1: it is to win when you're trying to build a 1535 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,680 Speaker 1: thing up with a new coaching staff. I will say this, 1536 01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 1: they are playing really hard for Dan Campbell, and he 1537 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:34,280 Speaker 1: wants it in the worst way for his players, and 1538 01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:37,719 Speaker 1: you know he got emotional about it. I can't fault 1539 01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,800 Speaker 1: him for wanting it that bad for his players. So yes, 1540 01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:42,840 Speaker 1: I do kind of feel for him in Lions fans 1541 01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:46,040 Speaker 1: as well. Final one the horseshoe. What do we got here? Oh? 1542 01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:49,160 Speaker 1: Wait a second, I didn't even see this horseshoe. It's 1543 01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:56,120 Speaker 1: going to you, Chris Wow, because you have now looked 1544 01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 1: into the stars and figured out what the Buffalo Bills 1545 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,600 Speaker 1: are going to do. In the last three weeks, you 1546 01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:05,679 Speaker 1: called Cole Beasley going off against the Washington football team, 1547 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:10,519 Speaker 1: then the last game you called Tremaine Edmund's interception, and 1548 01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:13,639 Speaker 1: then last night in our pregame show, I'm saying, who's 1549 01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:15,800 Speaker 1: going to be the X factor for the Buffalo Bills 1550 01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,880 Speaker 1: defense and you say, I don't know. I think Greg 1551 01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,880 Speaker 1: Russeau And this one just something's telling me that Greg 1552 01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:23,960 Speaker 1: Russeau is going to have a good game. Well he 1553 01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,840 Speaker 1: did because he bats down a ball and has a 1554 01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:31,080 Speaker 1: freaking interception. You are three for three, my friend. What 1555 01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:33,880 Speaker 1: is it going to be this week against the Titan 1556 01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to think about that, but I'll tell 1557 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:39,600 Speaker 1: you on Bill's field pass on Monday, so I'll have 1558 01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,479 Speaker 1: to kind of come up with something. But yeah, I 1559 01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,479 Speaker 1: don't know why I just thought. I think I even 1560 01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:47,200 Speaker 1: said on Bill's field pad, I said, I see him 1561 01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,120 Speaker 1: tipping a pass and getting intercepted by somebody. I'll be honest, 1562 01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,439 Speaker 1: I did not think that he would intercept his own tip. 1563 01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:54,519 Speaker 1: But I just saw him getting a paw up in 1564 01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:58,080 Speaker 1: the game somehow, some way, and I was getting a 1565 01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,439 Speaker 1: pick off of that. The fact that he caught himself 1566 01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,920 Speaker 1: was amazing, So I appreciate the kudos. But you know, 1567 01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:06,160 Speaker 1: the blind squirrel finds the acorn every once in a while. 1568 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:08,120 Speaker 1: It just happened to be a few times in a row. Here. 1569 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,280 Speaker 1: We'll see if we can continue the streak, because if 1570 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:13,519 Speaker 1: the Bills keep winning and I can keep guessing these right, 1571 01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:17,880 Speaker 1: I'm happy, Hey, so am I. It's been fun to 1572 01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:20,479 Speaker 1: see it happen. And then I immediately text you, I'm like, 1573 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:23,560 Speaker 1: what the heck? You have superpowers? What is going on? 1574 01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:26,479 Speaker 1: So yeah, thanks for the shout out.

Here on One Bill's Live, 1584 01:28:49,040 --> 01:29:01,680 Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

Steve Tasker rejoins us tomorrow, and we've been 1587 01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,000 Speaker 1: asking you all day on the show, what did last 1588 01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:13,880 Speaker 1: night's win tell you he is different about this year's 1589 01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:16,000 Speaker 1: Bill's team. And we go to the tweet sheet for 1590 01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:17,400 Speaker 1: the first time here on the show, brought to you 1591 01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:20,600 Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of 1592 01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:23,759 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and Bills Fan twelve to eighty three says, 1593 01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:27,400 Speaker 1: pass rush, pass rush, pass rush. He could stand back 1594 01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:29,759 Speaker 1: there all day last year. Last night we got pressure 1595 01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:34,200 Speaker 1: just about all game, just rushing four incredible performance from 1596 01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:39,599 Speaker 1: our defense, just incredible. Go Bill's double exclamation point. Yeah, 1597 01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, Maddie, we talked about it earlier in the show. 1598 01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:46,000 Speaker 1: It wasn't about the sacks. It was just about moving 1599 01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,640 Speaker 1: him off the spot or disrupting the timing of the 1600 01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:52,439 Speaker 1: passing game. We mentioned the Rousseau tip and pick I 1601 01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:54,920 Speaker 1: mean getting hands in passing lanes and we heard I 1602 01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:58,599 Speaker 1: think it was Jordan Poyer after the game, who said 1603 01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:02,320 Speaker 1: the guys up front were great. And all week we 1604 01:30:02,479 --> 01:30:06,080 Speaker 1: heard them, you know, in their position drills saying hands up, 1605 01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:08,720 Speaker 1: hands up. This week, they knew they weren't gonna get 1606 01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:10,960 Speaker 1: to Patrick Mahomes all the time, but if they could 1607 01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:13,680 Speaker 1: get hands in passing lanes affect the timing of the 1608 01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:18,280 Speaker 1: passing game, it would have the desired outcome. And they 1609 01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:20,760 Speaker 1: got what they got, twenty points on the board, one 1610 01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:23,439 Speaker 1: of only three times in Mahomes fifty one starts that 1611 01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:27,000 Speaker 1: they've scored twenty or less. Yeah, Jordan player said he 1612 01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:31,040 Speaker 1: loved the rush plan from the defensive line. And we 1613 01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:33,720 Speaker 1: hear Leslie Fraser all the time talk about it's not 1614 01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:36,560 Speaker 1: just about the sacks. That's not the thing that we 1615 01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:40,840 Speaker 1: hold so much weight on with how the defensive line 1616 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:43,000 Speaker 1: can perform. It's not about the sacks. It's just about 1617 01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:45,600 Speaker 1: affecting a quarterback. And I know I've talked about a 1618 01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:49,040 Speaker 1: lot are today just how the Bill's defensive line was 1619 01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:52,120 Speaker 1: able to do with more than four a rotation, A 1620 01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:55,599 Speaker 1: nice rotation. The guys quarterback hits came from Greg Russo, 1621 01:30:56,040 --> 01:31:00,599 Speaker 1: Carlos Basham Boogie Bashem, Ed Oliver, Jerry Hughes, Dustin Zimmer 1622 01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:04,080 Speaker 1: had two, fa Obada had one, aj Epinessa had one. 1623 01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:09,519 Speaker 1: I love the share of quarterback hits. Everybody is doing 1624 01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:12,120 Speaker 1: their job. Everybody is a part of the game plan. 1625 01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:16,760 Speaker 1: One guy is not better than another in certain situations 1626 01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:19,040 Speaker 1: when it comes to what they can do and what 1627 01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:22,519 Speaker 1: they did do against Patrick Mahomes last night. Yeah, two sacks, 1628 01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:25,800 Speaker 1: eight quarterback hits when all is said and done. And 1629 01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:28,839 Speaker 1: we had a caller mentioned this earlier, Maddie, But Boogie 1630 01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:33,040 Speaker 1: Basham I think is flashing enough to stay in the 1631 01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,559 Speaker 1: game day lineup. It may vary week to week depending 1632 01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:38,760 Speaker 1: on what they feel the game plan needs to have 1633 01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,479 Speaker 1: in it. And you know, as we said with one 1634 01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:43,280 Speaker 1: of the callers, we had to believe it was Mark earlier. 1635 01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:46,360 Speaker 1: It may have to change slightly. Knowing Derrick Henry is 1636 01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 1: kind of the engine that drives the Titans offense. But 1637 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,320 Speaker 1: I think Basham, after being an early inactive the first 1638 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:56,440 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of the season, when he's gotten his opportunities, 1639 01:31:57,160 --> 01:31:59,880 Speaker 1: You've noticed him not every play, but there are times, 1640 01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:02,360 Speaker 1: Oh there he is, there's booking. Oh look go get 1641 01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:04,920 Speaker 1: him booking. You know, like you see him, he flashes 1642 01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:06,479 Speaker 1: and I think that's going to earn him some more 1643 01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:10,360 Speaker 1: playing time going forward. Yeah. I love that after not 1644 01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:13,160 Speaker 1: playing for a few weeks, being inactive, that he comes 1645 01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:17,560 Speaker 1: out and makes some plays. He isn't someone that you overlook. 1646 01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:19,760 Speaker 1: He isn't someone that is a non factor for the 1647 01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:22,960 Speaker 1: defensive line. I love what he's able to do. And 1648 01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:27,559 Speaker 1: the fact that he wasn't active and then is now 1649 01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,640 Speaker 1: has been active in consecutive games, I think says a 1650 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,920 Speaker 1: lot about him. It's easy to be inactive for a 1651 01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,040 Speaker 1: few games and then go out onto the field and 1652 01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:39,960 Speaker 1: not really believe in yourself because you were inactive because 1653 01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:42,880 Speaker 1: your coaches looked at you as someone maybe who they 1654 01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:45,519 Speaker 1: didn't want in the lineup for those games. Why we 1655 01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:47,439 Speaker 1: don't know, but the fact that he was able to 1656 01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:51,320 Speaker 1: clear that out of his mind and have an impactful 1657 01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:55,720 Speaker 1: performance in consecutive games is awesome. Yeah. What did last 1658 01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:58,280 Speaker 1: night's winn tell you? Is different about this year's Bill's team? 1659 01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:01,519 Speaker 1: Max says that they're the class of the NFL right 1660 01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:04,080 Speaker 1: now and that feels great to say as a Bills fan. 1661 01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:08,040 Speaker 1: Top offense and defense right now and beating down the 1662 01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:13,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs there for real. Gabriella says. The offense looked calm, 1663 01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:16,880 Speaker 1: cool and collected. The receivers found ways to get open. 1664 01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:19,160 Speaker 1: Josh looked really comfortable in the pocket. I also liked 1665 01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:21,920 Speaker 1: the sticky defense and thought their game plan was well 1666 01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:25,599 Speaker 1: thought out. The Chiefs seemed flustered all game. Let's talk 1667 01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:29,800 Speaker 1: about that, Maddie. The calm, cool, collective nature of the 1668 01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:33,240 Speaker 1: offensive performance. Obviously it all flows through Josh, who I 1669 01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:36,720 Speaker 1: thought played within himself, as we said in last night's game. 1670 01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:41,200 Speaker 1: But I think if you think back to the way 1671 01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:43,760 Speaker 1: the offense played in the AFC title game last year, 1672 01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:48,960 Speaker 1: there was a frenetic, unsettled nature to how the whole 1673 01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:51,640 Speaker 1: group played, where you know, they were kind of like 1674 01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,799 Speaker 1: they looked like a squirrel, you know that just spotted 1675 01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 1: a dog in the backyard, like what's going on? What's 1676 01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:00,719 Speaker 1: going on next? Like it was that kind of demeanor 1677 01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:03,080 Speaker 1: that they had in the AFC Title game last year. 1678 01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:06,280 Speaker 1: Last night, it was just like it was right here 1679 01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:08,720 Speaker 1: the whole time. They didn't get too high and get 1680 01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:11,800 Speaker 1: too low. It's almost like the self confidence was like 1681 01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:14,920 Speaker 1: it at all time high. Yeah. I was just gonna 1682 01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:17,200 Speaker 1: say that the confidence was up and it seemed like 1683 01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:20,640 Speaker 1: they were doing everything with ease. Not to discount the 1684 01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:22,639 Speaker 1: fact that it's hard to put some of the drives 1685 01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:24,840 Speaker 1: together that they were able to do, especially that one 1686 01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,599 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. That's not easy to take seven 1687 01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:30,800 Speaker 1: minutes and fifty one seconds off of the clock. Slow 1688 01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:32,880 Speaker 1: to the game down a little bit by implementing a 1689 01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:35,640 Speaker 1: run game, But they looked They looked like they were 1690 01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:39,240 Speaker 1: doing it and having like not a hard time doing it. 1691 01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:42,599 Speaker 1: They were doing it with ease. It was that calm, cool, 1692 01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:46,679 Speaker 1: collected nature that Gabriella pointed out that made me feel 1693 01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:49,439 Speaker 1: really good about this offense. Josh Allen was connecting on 1694 01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:52,240 Speaker 1: its deep balls with ease. It all seemed like no 1695 01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:55,680 Speaker 1: big deal for this offense, and the sticky defense was 1696 01:34:56,520 --> 01:34:58,840 Speaker 1: a nice way of saying they decided they were going 1697 01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:01,960 Speaker 1: to knock some people around, most notably Kelsey, who was 1698 01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:04,000 Speaker 1: getting the tar kicked out of him on those inside 1699 01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:07,479 Speaker 1: routes between the numbers between sarand Neil and aj Klein. 1700 01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:10,680 Speaker 1: They were roughing them up, and fortunately they didn't get 1701 01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:13,679 Speaker 1: called for too many penalties, and they didn't mind getting 1702 01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:16,440 Speaker 1: called for one or two. They thought that the cumulative 1703 01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:21,920 Speaker 1: effect of beating on Kelsey would demoralize him and Patrick 1704 01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes willingness to go to him on certain plays, and 1705 01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:27,400 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I felt it proved 1706 01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:30,519 Speaker 1: to be effective. We have to take a break here 1707 01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:32,560 Speaker 1: because coming up an hour number three, as we do 1708 01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:36,240 Speaker 1: every Monday, we catch up with the Bills radio color analyst, 1709 01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:39,160 Speaker 1: former center for the Bills for nine seasons, one, Eric Wood, 1710 01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:41,920 Speaker 1: We'll join us next here on One Bill's Live, presented 1711 01:35:41,920 --> 01:36:00,960 Speaker 1: by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio at a Steve 1712 01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:04,519 Speaker 1: Tasker who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique. 1713 01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:06,799 Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve, 1714 01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:14,200 Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the stratgyre of normalcy, 1715 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,200 Speaker 1: all right, Welcome to our number three on A Bill's 1716 01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:22,240 Speaker 1: Victory Monday. Chris Brown, Maddy glab and look who's next 1717 01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:25,080 Speaker 1: to us. It's Eric Wood, fresh off the airplane and 1718 01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:28,320 Speaker 1: back home for all of twenty minutes, hasn't even unpacked 1719 01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:33,000 Speaker 1: his bag and we're putting him to work. Eric at first, blush, 1720 01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:39,479 Speaker 1: what is like? What what do you take primarily out 1721 01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,280 Speaker 1: of the victory? Mannie and I were kind of talking 1722 01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:45,800 Speaker 1: about how Josh's hurdle over Lagarius sneed was almost a 1723 01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:50,559 Speaker 1: symbolic emblem of what that wind was. They literally cleared 1724 01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:54,840 Speaker 1: the hurdle that was the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah, and 1725 01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:57,720 Speaker 1: that's that's the point I would say, is they kind 1726 01:36:57,720 --> 01:36:59,320 Speaker 1: of got the monkey out there back there. You know 1727 01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:03,040 Speaker 1: that Chiefs had had their number these last you know, 1728 01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:07,280 Speaker 1: dating back to last year, and they've represented the AFC 1729 01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:10,720 Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship Game three years in a row. 1730 01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:13,040 Speaker 1: They've been the litmus test. And when you're drafting in 1731 01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:16,639 Speaker 1: your your sole focus all off season is about Kansas City. 1732 01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:18,640 Speaker 1: Even when you know, when they talked about improving the 1733 01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:21,240 Speaker 1: run game, getting bigger on the lines of scrimmage, that 1734 01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:24,479 Speaker 1: was in reference to Kansas City. When you talked about 1735 01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:31,440 Speaker 1: running the playoffs to run through Buffalo, that was essentially 1736 01:37:32,280 --> 01:37:35,240 Speaker 1: focused towards Kansas City, who's hosted the AFC Championship Game 1737 01:37:35,320 --> 01:37:37,599 Speaker 1: three years in a row. And so when you look 1738 01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:41,040 Speaker 1: at all those things, when you have a franchise that 1739 01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:44,000 Speaker 1: has had your number like they have, or all of 1740 01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,559 Speaker 1: the AFC's number, really it was great to get that win. 1741 01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:51,280 Speaker 1: It was great to see them slowed down the homes. 1742 01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:54,200 Speaker 1: You weren't sure how the Bills are gonna handle crowd noise. 1743 01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:56,600 Speaker 1: You know a lot was made that hey, when the 1744 01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:59,760 Speaker 1: stakes got big in the playoffs, when when you know, 1745 01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:04,439 Speaker 1: the atmospheres were back, this Bill's offense was pedestrian again. 1746 01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:08,960 Speaker 1: And to see it explode the way it did and 1747 01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:13,280 Speaker 1: really be at times just completely unfazed by a really 1748 01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:17,960 Speaker 1: loud outmosphere in there. And they were asking me free game, like'sum, 1749 01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:20,400 Speaker 1: what are the how tough his arrow had to play in? 1750 01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:23,280 Speaker 1: Is it the toughest, is it the loudest? And I said, look, 1751 01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:25,960 Speaker 1: once it gets over a certain threshold where you can't 1752 01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:28,920 Speaker 1: communicate the line of scrimmage, you can't hear the quarterback 1753 01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:32,080 Speaker 1: anything over that's just a bonus and it makes it 1754 01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:35,200 Speaker 1: extremely fun. But as soon as it's over that threshold, 1755 01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:39,599 Speaker 1: then then it's a factor. And Kansas City's definitely a factor. 1756 01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:41,200 Speaker 1: And I was glad to see them handle it the 1757 01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:43,960 Speaker 1: way they did. So the Bills put thirty eight points 1758 01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:46,880 Speaker 1: up on the scoreboard. They only allowed twenty in this one. 1759 01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:51,120 Speaker 1: What facet or what position group were you most impressed 1760 01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:55,040 Speaker 1: by in this win? Man, It's hard to pick just one. 1761 01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:57,720 Speaker 1: I guess offensively, I'd say the quarterback position. I thought 1762 01:38:57,800 --> 01:38:59,960 Speaker 1: Josh made plays with his legs early when he knew 1763 01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,400 Speaker 1: it too, and when his number was called, and then 1764 01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:06,759 Speaker 1: he really was able to complete some shots down the field. 1765 01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:10,320 Speaker 1: And you know, it wasn't just digs. It wasn't just 1766 01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,880 Speaker 1: beasily three catches combined for them, but he spread the 1767 01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:17,679 Speaker 1: ball around so offensively, Josh really stood out Dawson Knox 1768 01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:20,479 Speaker 1: obviously they had another good game himself. I thought the 1769 01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:23,559 Speaker 1: offensive line did well in pass protection. They did well 1770 01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:27,200 Speaker 1: run blocking, which is a great sign. You know that 1771 01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:31,599 Speaker 1: this revamped O line, I'll say, with them putting Spencer 1772 01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:34,400 Speaker 1: Brown and moving Daryl Williams, it's good to see that. 1773 01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:37,840 Speaker 1: Looks like Dion Dawkins back to full strength. And defensively, 1774 01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:40,040 Speaker 1: you know, you could go across the board. There were 1775 01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:43,360 Speaker 1: so many great individual efforts. I thought the secondary and 1776 01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:45,400 Speaker 1: the plan with the secondary was great. There was so 1777 01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:49,120 Speaker 1: much man coverage from my observation from the booth. I 1778 01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:52,320 Speaker 1: haven't gone back and watched the actual game tape yet, 1779 01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:54,479 Speaker 1: but a lot more man coverage, a lot more cover 1780 01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:56,400 Speaker 1: two man. And when you play cover two man, you're 1781 01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:59,600 Speaker 1: very susceptible to the run. So the way the linebackers 1782 01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:02,080 Speaker 1: and deef line played was excellent. And the way this 1783 01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:05,400 Speaker 1: defensive line rushed the passer, and you know, the sack 1784 01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:07,920 Speaker 1: numbers aren't going to show the true effect that they 1785 01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:10,120 Speaker 1: had on the game. The amount of times that Patrick 1786 01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:13,120 Speaker 1: Mahomes was forced to scramble and take off with his legs, 1787 01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:15,400 Speaker 1: the amount of times that he didn't have time to 1788 01:40:15,479 --> 01:40:17,920 Speaker 1: find receivers down the field, forcing him to dump it 1789 01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:21,479 Speaker 1: off early any and the defensive line effected some throws 1790 01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:25,559 Speaker 1: as well. And then they make an interception as well, 1791 01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:28,519 Speaker 1: forced one of the turnovers. So defensively, it was a 1792 01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:31,439 Speaker 1: great all around effort. And let's make no guns about that. 1793 01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:33,080 Speaker 1: The Chiefs are sitting at two and three, but no 1794 01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:35,120 Speaker 1: one would say that they don't have one of the 1795 01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:37,560 Speaker 1: top two or three offenses in the entire NFL, and 1796 01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,320 Speaker 1: they're playing at home. Yeah. I want to take the 1797 01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:44,840 Speaker 1: defensive game plan a step further here, Eric, because I 1798 01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:48,000 Speaker 1: had done like a deep dive into the third down 1799 01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:50,400 Speaker 1: success of this Chiefs offense, which as you know, was 1800 01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:53,559 Speaker 1: converting sixty four percent of their third downs to lead 1801 01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:56,200 Speaker 1: the league by a wide margin through the first four weeks, 1802 01:40:56,880 --> 01:41:00,280 Speaker 1: and on third and seven or less through the first 1803 01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:04,040 Speaker 1: four weeks, they converted ninety six percent of their third 1804 01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:07,599 Speaker 1: down opportunities in third and seven or less twenty four 1805 01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:11,040 Speaker 1: out of twenty five, and the Bills hold them to 1806 01:41:11,200 --> 01:41:14,720 Speaker 1: five of twelve on third down, including some of those 1807 01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:18,000 Speaker 1: third and shorts, So they were only unsuccessful on one 1808 01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:20,960 Speaker 1: third and seven or less all season long. Last night 1809 01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:24,080 Speaker 1: they were unsuccessful on three of them. So the Bills 1810 01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:28,639 Speaker 1: basically tripled the number in one game. And you mentioned 1811 01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:31,439 Speaker 1: some of the man coverage that they utilized on third 1812 01:41:31,479 --> 01:41:34,320 Speaker 1: and mediums and third and shorts. They also used some 1813 01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:36,760 Speaker 1: dime coverage. They brought some Ran Neil on the field 1814 01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:41,439 Speaker 1: so as not to overburden aj Klein presumably with coverage responsibilities, 1815 01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:46,160 Speaker 1: and they roughed them up to Eric. They were playing 1816 01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:50,080 Speaker 1: rough rock'em sock'em kind of Baltimore Ravens style coverage where 1817 01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:53,760 Speaker 1: they dared the officials to throw the flag knowing they 1818 01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:56,479 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't on every single snap. They called a lot, 1819 01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:59,360 Speaker 1: but they didn't call it on every play. So just 1820 01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:02,559 Speaker 1: give me your overarching thought, particularly on the third down 1821 01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:07,559 Speaker 1: defense that Leslie Fraser called up. Yeah, And to your point, 1822 01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:10,120 Speaker 1: what makes that five for twelve even more impressive is 1823 01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:12,639 Speaker 1: the fact that the Chiefs started off three for three 1824 01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,840 Speaker 1: in the game, so then they're only two of their nine. 1825 01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:19,000 Speaker 1: So the Bill's defense really settled in the first one 1826 01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:20,679 Speaker 1: of the game. I thought was going to get called 1827 01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:23,920 Speaker 1: back because of a pick, and they end up calling 1828 01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:28,400 Speaker 1: defensive holding on that plane. So, you know, and I 1829 01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:30,639 Speaker 1: love the way that they went out and just said, look, 1830 01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:33,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna contest you. We're not just gonna let you 1831 01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:35,880 Speaker 1: have free access all over the field, and then at 1832 01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:38,120 Speaker 1: times they did. At times they bailed and played soft 1833 01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:41,760 Speaker 1: zone and forced Mahomes to check the ball down. But 1834 01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:44,000 Speaker 1: I thought the defensive game plan was brilliant. In a 1835 01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:47,880 Speaker 1: game plan where you blitzed zero times the exact same 1836 01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:50,880 Speaker 1: amount that you blitzed in Orchard Park last year and 1837 01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:55,320 Speaker 1: got steamrolled by the run game this year, they did 1838 01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:59,360 Speaker 1: not allow that to happen. Obviously, they hold Kelsey and 1839 01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:04,320 Speaker 1: Hill in check, two extremely dynamic playmakers, and that's the 1840 01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:08,160 Speaker 1: sign of, you know, just a great individual efforts. But 1841 01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:10,479 Speaker 1: I thought the game plan was excellent as well, because 1842 01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:14,280 Speaker 1: why throw pressures out there against Patrick Mahomes when he's 1843 01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:17,200 Speaker 1: the best in the NFL since entering the league against 1844 01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:19,800 Speaker 1: them against the Blitz Why do that? And so they 1845 01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:22,479 Speaker 1: completely avoided it. But then you can't just line up 1846 01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:25,720 Speaker 1: in your same exact vanilla looks every single play. There 1847 01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:29,720 Speaker 1: were times where Trudevious White would be shattering shadowing Tyreek Hill, 1848 01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:31,840 Speaker 1: and then there's other times where Taron Johnson be lined 1849 01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:35,880 Speaker 1: up against him. And there was times I believe where 1850 01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:40,160 Speaker 1: Trudevious White was matched up man to man against Tyrek 1851 01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:42,439 Speaker 1: Hill in the slot, which you rarely ever see from 1852 01:43:42,439 --> 01:43:45,519 Speaker 1: a Bills defense. So they were multiple enough without heading 1853 01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:48,120 Speaker 1: to give a bunch of looks up front. And then, 1854 01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:51,280 Speaker 1: like I mentioned before, you got to give this Bills 1855 01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:54,080 Speaker 1: defensive line and linebacker's credit because if you're gonna play 1856 01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:57,480 Speaker 1: a lot of man to man defense, one you're susceptible 1857 01:43:57,479 --> 01:43:59,400 Speaker 1: against the run if you're gonna keep your safeties high, 1858 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:02,479 Speaker 1: and then two, you're really susceptible to quarterback scrambles. And 1859 01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:04,680 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes was able to convert a couple of those 1860 01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:07,200 Speaker 1: first downs with his legs. He was able to make 1861 01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:10,320 Speaker 1: some plays. He rushes for sixty one yards in the game, 1862 01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:12,760 Speaker 1: But you'll give him sixty one yards. You'd rather have 1863 01:44:12,920 --> 01:44:16,360 Speaker 1: him scampering around, running around, You give him a couple 1864 01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:19,360 Speaker 1: shots on those runs. You'd rather have that happened than 1865 01:44:19,479 --> 01:44:22,360 Speaker 1: him playing the ball all over the field. All right, 1866 01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:25,439 Speaker 1: I want to switch to the other side. In terms 1867 01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:28,439 Speaker 1: of the Bill's offensive line, we asked you about Spencer 1868 01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:32,400 Speaker 1: Brown's performance last week in his first NFL start his 1869 01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:38,240 Speaker 1: second NFL's start in an atmosphere in a primetime game 1870 01:44:38,439 --> 01:44:41,320 Speaker 1: where the opposing crowd is loud. He was talking about 1871 01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:43,960 Speaker 1: how he was going to have hundreds of people travel 1872 01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:47,080 Speaker 1: to the game who he had friends and family of, 1873 01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:50,120 Speaker 1: who were about two hours away from Kansas City from 1874 01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:53,120 Speaker 1: Airhead Stadium. What did you think of his performance in 1875 01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:56,880 Speaker 1: his second NFL start? Well, without watching the film, I 1876 01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:59,719 Speaker 1: can't tell you exactly how I feel, but that's usually 1877 01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:01,800 Speaker 1: a to get indication that he played well. And now 1878 01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:04,519 Speaker 1: this whole Bill's offensive line was the beneficiary of Chris 1879 01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:06,640 Speaker 1: Jones not playing, and I know he's dinged up with 1880 01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:09,560 Speaker 1: a wrist. I just assumed, worst case scenario, he'd be 1881 01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:12,160 Speaker 1: out there playing with a club. I guess Kansas City 1882 01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:14,920 Speaker 1: decided they won him fully effective later in the year, 1883 01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:17,360 Speaker 1: probably a similar to the approach that the Bills took 1884 01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:20,360 Speaker 1: with Milano this week, and keeping him out and hamstring 1885 01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:22,680 Speaker 1: a little different than a wrist. It would have been 1886 01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:24,880 Speaker 1: hard pressed to keep me out of a game with 1887 01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:27,400 Speaker 1: a wrist injury. I might have learned how to snap 1888 01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:31,040 Speaker 1: left handed if I needed to, but but the Bills 1889 01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,240 Speaker 1: were the beneficiary. And you know that's a different matchup 1890 01:45:33,320 --> 01:45:36,360 Speaker 1: if Spencer Brown's going against Chris Jones on the other 1891 01:45:36,439 --> 01:45:38,680 Speaker 1: side of the defensive end. But the fact that we 1892 01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:40,679 Speaker 1: didn't really notice him a lot in the past game, 1893 01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:42,760 Speaker 1: he was still moving people in the run game, he's 1894 01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:46,120 Speaker 1: finishing placed his effort in his tenacity is always going 1895 01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:48,120 Speaker 1: to jump out the film. It's the same way with 1896 01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:50,960 Speaker 1: Dion Dokins, in the same way with John Feliciano. And 1897 01:45:51,080 --> 01:45:53,800 Speaker 1: those are the types of guys that Brandon Being and 1898 01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:56,200 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott love. And that's part of the reason that 1899 01:45:56,280 --> 01:45:59,160 Speaker 1: he's forced his cards to get into that starting lineup 1900 01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:00,880 Speaker 1: because you don't see that a lot in practice, but 1901 01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:03,200 Speaker 1: you could see it from him all throughout the preseason, 1902 01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:05,800 Speaker 1: and you could see it from him when he would 1903 01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:08,519 Speaker 1: come in as that additional tight end, that blocking tight 1904 01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:10,320 Speaker 1: end roll that we saw him play. Every time you 1905 01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,960 Speaker 1: heard number seventy nine's eligible throughout the stadium, those were 1906 01:46:14,040 --> 01:46:16,760 Speaker 1: reps that he was proving himself and proving that he 1907 01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:19,639 Speaker 1: a moment like last night wouldn't be too big for him. 1908 01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:22,599 Speaker 1: But that's a totally different situation last night. Even if 1909 01:46:22,680 --> 01:46:25,960 Speaker 1: the level of talent wasn't you know, maybe what they 1910 01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:28,479 Speaker 1: faced week one against the Steelers to go into a 1911 01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:33,240 Speaker 1: situation like Arrowhead have zero false starts, no holding penalties, 1912 01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:37,160 Speaker 1: nothing egregious happened. That's a true win without even turning 1913 01:46:37,200 --> 01:46:40,200 Speaker 1: on the film and truly breaking down his technique. So 1914 01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:43,880 Speaker 1: Eric Maddie and I discussed this earlier. If going into 1915 01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:47,640 Speaker 1: the game, I told you that Stefon Diggs would have 1916 01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:51,280 Speaker 1: two receptions and Cole Beasley would have one, I think 1917 01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:53,880 Speaker 1: universally we all would have thought there's no way the 1918 01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:56,400 Speaker 1: Bills scored enough points to win the football game against 1919 01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:58,640 Speaker 1: a team like the Chiefs. And yet here they are 1920 01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:03,960 Speaker 1: with thirty eight points. And again it's Sanders and Knox 1921 01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:08,240 Speaker 1: that have completely diversified this offense. These two guys have 1922 01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:13,320 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns in the last four games. How have they 1923 01:47:14,160 --> 01:47:18,800 Speaker 1: forced defenses to now think differently going forward as to 1924 01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:23,439 Speaker 1: how to stop this passing game? Well, you just simply 1925 01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:26,360 Speaker 1: can't focus on Stefon Diggs and then try and play 1926 01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:29,920 Speaker 1: bracket coverage every time you're playing zone or you think 1927 01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:33,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a play to Beasley in the slot, 1928 01:47:33,320 --> 01:47:35,920 Speaker 1: So you can't simply focus all your effort there. Because 1929 01:47:36,320 --> 01:47:39,080 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is becoming a big time receiving threat, and 1930 01:47:39,200 --> 01:47:42,160 Speaker 1: he showed glimpses of that the last couple of years, 1931 01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:45,200 Speaker 1: but now he's truly flourishing and becoming a big play 1932 01:47:45,280 --> 01:47:47,479 Speaker 1: threat down the field. And I don't want to compare 1933 01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:50,600 Speaker 1: his year so far to kind of Josh Allen in 1934 01:47:50,720 --> 01:47:54,160 Speaker 1: year three, but it's similar. So yes, there's some highlight 1935 01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:56,160 Speaker 1: plays from Dawson Knox in the first couple of years, 1936 01:47:56,200 --> 01:47:58,840 Speaker 1: but there's some plays that frustrate you to no end. Well, 1937 01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:01,040 Speaker 1: now in year three's put it all together, similar to 1938 01:48:01,240 --> 01:48:04,639 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, some bonehead plays, and then the highlights were 1939 01:48:04,760 --> 01:48:07,720 Speaker 1: so good you knew that the ceiling was extremely high 1940 01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:10,960 Speaker 1: for that player. So you're seeing Dawson Knox flourish. And 1941 01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:14,599 Speaker 1: for the whole offseason, we heard from this Bills coaching 1942 01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:17,040 Speaker 1: staff that, hey, we have a ton of faith and 1943 01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:18,960 Speaker 1: trust in this tight end group that we have in 1944 01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:21,120 Speaker 1: here in Dawson Knox being the front runner. But then 1945 01:48:21,479 --> 01:48:23,519 Speaker 1: we come out in the Pittsburgh game, and we start 1946 01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:25,320 Speaker 1: the game in a five wide set and we don't 1947 01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:27,760 Speaker 1: have any tight ends on the field and we run 1948 01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:29,679 Speaker 1: a bunch of ten personnel. So that wasn't a true 1949 01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:31,599 Speaker 1: boat of confidence. But when you go back and look 1950 01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:34,519 Speaker 1: at the numbers, and I probably learned this from either 1951 01:48:34,640 --> 01:48:37,040 Speaker 1: one of YouTube tracking it, the Bills had a lot 1952 01:48:37,080 --> 01:48:39,280 Speaker 1: of success early on. Even when they were giving Dawson 1953 01:48:39,320 --> 01:48:41,760 Speaker 1: Knocks the limited reps, they were having a lot more 1954 01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:44,519 Speaker 1: success than eleven personnel. So this Bills offense was better 1955 01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:47,960 Speaker 1: when Dawson Knox was on the field, and so moving 1956 01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:51,639 Speaker 1: forward they're including him obviously a whole lot more. He's 1957 01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:53,680 Speaker 1: getting more into the game plan. I thought there was 1958 01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:57,479 Speaker 1: no better play. To kind of sum up what the 1959 01:48:57,560 --> 01:48:59,880 Speaker 1: Bills think about him at this point is when they 1960 01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:02,439 Speaker 1: through the back shoulder throw to him in the red zone. 1961 01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,040 Speaker 1: I believe it was a third down as well. And 1962 01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:08,479 Speaker 1: in Dawson Knox was split out the ones I buy himself. 1963 01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:11,280 Speaker 1: He had a linebacker lined up against him, Josh hitched 1964 01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:13,160 Speaker 1: once in the pocket and throw a backshoulder throw and 1965 01:49:13,240 --> 01:49:15,960 Speaker 1: the being a touchdown. John didn't even look anywhere else. 1966 01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,640 Speaker 1: And for the Bills to now have that kind of 1967 01:49:18,680 --> 01:49:21,400 Speaker 1: trust in him at this point of the season. It 1968 01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:25,439 Speaker 1: is remarkable. And yes, and what Emmanuel Sanders has done 1969 01:49:25,479 --> 01:49:28,320 Speaker 1: as well is gosh. If he can stay healthy and 1970 01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:30,760 Speaker 1: play the way he's playing right now, I mean, who 1971 01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:35,439 Speaker 1: do you choose between Digs and Sanders? Because most teams 1972 01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:39,280 Speaker 1: aren't carrying two cornerbacks like the Miami Dolphins do each week. 1973 01:49:39,360 --> 01:49:41,960 Speaker 1: Who had the highest paid cornerback tandem in the league. 1974 01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:45,479 Speaker 1: You know, most teams have a true lockdown corner and 1975 01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:48,479 Speaker 1: then you have other guys that you're gonna have to 1976 01:49:48,600 --> 01:49:51,560 Speaker 1: help over the top. Well, even your lockdown guy's not 1977 01:49:51,720 --> 01:49:53,599 Speaker 1: likely going to be one to be one on one 1978 01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:56,320 Speaker 1: against Digs the whole game, so it almost becomes a 1979 01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,720 Speaker 1: picker poison. And then what the Bills are doing in 1980 01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:02,040 Speaker 1: the run game averaging they came into the game last night, 1981 01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:05,200 Speaker 1: I believe averaging five four and a half yards to carry. 1982 01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:08,400 Speaker 1: They're effective in the run game as well. Yeah, you 1983 01:50:08,520 --> 01:50:10,880 Speaker 1: touched on Josh Allen's performance and how he had a 1984 01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:13,559 Speaker 1: great game and how guys like Dawson Knox and Emmanuel 1985 01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:16,400 Speaker 1: Sanders were able to help with that, But just go 1986 01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:20,479 Speaker 1: a step further with Brian dave Ball's play calling. And 1987 01:50:20,840 --> 01:50:24,400 Speaker 1: how he was able to identify those mismatches and some 1988 01:50:24,520 --> 01:50:27,240 Speaker 1: of those deep balls that Josh Allen threw. Trust Josh 1989 01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:30,400 Speaker 1: Allen on that and just watch the offense kind of 1990 01:50:30,479 --> 01:50:32,800 Speaker 1: flourished through some of those deep balls in the way 1991 01:50:32,840 --> 01:50:35,479 Speaker 1: that they were able to set up the offense, call 1992 01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:39,280 Speaker 1: the offense and then see it succeed and turn into touchdowns. Yeah, 1993 01:50:39,280 --> 01:50:41,479 Speaker 1: I thought Brian dave Ball called a brilliant game plan. 1994 01:50:41,760 --> 01:50:46,240 Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is there was shift, shifts, motions, 1995 01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:50,080 Speaker 1: and personnel changes almost every single snap. And one of 1996 01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:52,639 Speaker 1: my things for the second half of the Bills playing 1997 01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:54,479 Speaker 1: with the lead, I just hope they didn't get away 1998 01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:57,639 Speaker 1: from that because that's tough for a defense. When you're 1999 01:50:57,840 --> 01:51:02,080 Speaker 1: constantly switching personnel. There's a shift, there's a motion, there's 2000 01:51:02,120 --> 01:51:04,160 Speaker 1: something for your eyes to see on every single play. 2001 01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:07,600 Speaker 1: It just makes it really hard for a defense to 2002 01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:10,000 Speaker 1: react to everything going on. And then when you add 2003 01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:13,720 Speaker 1: the talent aspect that the Bills have, that just makes 2004 01:51:13,760 --> 01:51:16,479 Speaker 1: you extremely tough. And I want to know how much 2005 01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:21,280 Speaker 1: time Brian day Ball spends, like I wonder if like so, 2006 01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:24,400 Speaker 1: for instance, the touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders in the 2007 01:51:24,439 --> 01:51:26,400 Speaker 1: red zone I've never seen that before. It was like 2008 01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:29,360 Speaker 1: a they ran a fake jet sweep motion, then a 2009 01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:32,160 Speaker 1: flood concept, and then he kind of just snuck through 2010 01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:35,679 Speaker 1: the defense where everybody was assuming it's that rollout maybe 2011 01:51:35,720 --> 01:51:38,439 Speaker 1: there's a shovel coming back from the other side, or 2012 01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:40,400 Speaker 1: that tight end leak play. They would run a lot 2013 01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:43,639 Speaker 1: with that flood concept, but instead Manuel Sanders just kind 2014 01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:47,559 Speaker 1: of scurries through and Josh's hits them immediately, like they 2015 01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:49,680 Speaker 1: knew exactly where they were going with the ball. Like 2016 01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:52,479 Speaker 1: I wonder if that was installed in the preseason during 2017 01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:54,800 Speaker 1: OTA's or if that's something Brian day Ball sitting in 2018 01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:57,880 Speaker 1: his office right now on no sleep drawing up for 2019 01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:00,280 Speaker 1: this upcoming Monday night game, Like I want to pick 2020 01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:03,240 Speaker 1: his brain on that. I truly do, because they have 2021 01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:06,320 Speaker 1: just had so many kind of one off plays, especially 2022 01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:09,800 Speaker 1: in the red zone. Like I'm I'm truly interested as 2023 01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:12,439 Speaker 1: a former player, like at what point did those get 2024 01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:15,519 Speaker 1: installed and if they're truly just getting installed on a 2025 01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:17,240 Speaker 1: week to week basis. You want to talk about being 2026 01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:20,120 Speaker 1: confident in a scheme and confident in a game plan, 2027 01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:23,040 Speaker 1: those give you a bunch of confidence and then the 2028 01:52:23,120 --> 01:52:28,240 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders touchdown. I mean, that's just astrue it. Sorensen's 2029 01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:31,599 Speaker 1: gotten no shot there. I mean he's sitting back there 2030 01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:35,240 Speaker 1: in a cover two look, and Emmanuel Sanders breaks like 2031 01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:38,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna run some type of deep out from the slot, 2032 01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:41,120 Speaker 1: takes it straight vertical. Josh doesn't look anywhere else. He 2033 01:52:41,200 --> 01:52:43,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have to hold the backside safety because the middle 2034 01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:45,519 Speaker 1: of the field, the linebacker dropping into the middle of 2035 01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:47,439 Speaker 1: the field or whoever. I thought it was Matthew when 2036 01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:49,120 Speaker 1: I saw the replay, but it should have been the 2037 01:52:49,200 --> 01:52:50,920 Speaker 1: middle linebacker who I was playing in the middle has 2038 01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:54,439 Speaker 1: no shot to get back into that. I mean, I'm 2039 01:52:54,479 --> 01:52:57,519 Speaker 1: assuming Josh kind of pre snap reed on the coverage 2040 01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:01,960 Speaker 1: because it was a quick decision and they were toasted. Yeah. 2041 01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:05,320 Speaker 1: I want to take the play calling in personnel groupings 2042 01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:08,760 Speaker 1: a step further, Eric, because we saw an increased use 2043 01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:13,120 Speaker 1: last night of both twelve and twenty one personnel, which 2044 01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:15,120 Speaker 1: kind of gave an indication to the Chiefs, oh, we 2045 01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:17,519 Speaker 1: might be getting some run plays here. And then there 2046 01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:19,240 Speaker 1: were times they would throw out of it, but they 2047 01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:22,519 Speaker 1: would have the mismatches. I didn't track it enough. I 2048 01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:25,200 Speaker 1: was tracking more the offensive personnel grouping than I was 2049 01:53:25,320 --> 01:53:28,880 Speaker 1: tracking how many times the Chiefs were putting three linebackers 2050 01:53:28,920 --> 01:53:31,639 Speaker 1: on the field in response to that. I did see 2051 01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:34,240 Speaker 1: it a couple of times. I don't know how prevalent 2052 01:53:34,360 --> 01:53:36,519 Speaker 1: they threw the three linebackers on the field to try 2053 01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:39,120 Speaker 1: to match up, but they went to pass, and now 2054 01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:42,759 Speaker 1: they had mismatches because though their linebackers are not fast, 2055 01:53:43,200 --> 01:53:46,080 Speaker 1: Willie Gay was just getting back off ir He's probably 2056 01:53:46,080 --> 01:53:47,920 Speaker 1: their most athletic, but they don't even use him in 2057 01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:51,560 Speaker 1: coverage a lot. So I felt like the use of 2058 01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:55,200 Speaker 1: twenty one and twelve was very astute because it put 2059 01:53:55,360 --> 01:53:59,479 Speaker 1: the Chiefs in bad matchups when they faked the run 2060 01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:03,160 Speaker 1: and when to the pass yeah, and it allows yeah. 2061 01:54:03,200 --> 01:54:05,360 Speaker 1: And then when you go to run play action off 2062 01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:07,680 Speaker 1: of that, you have a fullback and a running back 2063 01:54:07,720 --> 01:54:09,880 Speaker 1: a tight end if you want for chip help. It 2064 01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:13,160 Speaker 1: allows you to take more shots down the field. I 2065 01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:15,840 Speaker 1: always felt like throughout my career it was always easier 2066 01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:18,200 Speaker 1: to take your shot place out of a bigger personnel. 2067 01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:20,800 Speaker 1: You get more linebackers on the field and they're thinking 2068 01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:23,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a run. They're not in straight pass 2069 01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:26,160 Speaker 1: rush mode. And it was interesting to me, and it 2070 01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:29,680 Speaker 1: was to start the series one series, they lined up 2071 01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:33,120 Speaker 1: in twenty one personnel, so they have Gilliam and Knocks 2072 01:54:33,240 --> 01:54:35,080 Speaker 1: in the game. They may have even had Sweeney in 2073 01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:36,600 Speaker 1: the game. I'm not exactly sure. But then they had 2074 01:54:36,680 --> 01:54:40,120 Speaker 1: Kumaro and gave Davis that receiver and they ran the ball, 2075 01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:43,520 Speaker 1: and I was like, all I could think was, Brian 2076 01:54:43,640 --> 01:54:45,840 Speaker 1: Dave Ball is coming back to this at some point. 2077 01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:48,600 Speaker 1: It might not be this game, But every time that 2078 01:54:48,680 --> 01:54:52,560 Speaker 1: they run out twenty one personnel with Gabe Davis and Kumo, 2079 01:54:52,720 --> 01:54:55,480 Speaker 1: your two biggest receivers, you know they're going to be 2080 01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:58,440 Speaker 1: your best blockers. You assume, so you put them out 2081 01:54:58,440 --> 01:55:00,760 Speaker 1: there and they ran the football. They didn't need to 2082 01:55:00,840 --> 01:55:03,280 Speaker 1: come back to a shop. But there's a shot play coming, 2083 01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:06,760 Speaker 1: mark my words out of twenty one with those two 2084 01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:08,680 Speaker 1: receivers in the game, because Brian day Ball is not 2085 01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:11,880 Speaker 1: simply going to just bring those guys out there and 2086 01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:15,000 Speaker 1: then those the big receivers are in the game with 2087 01:55:15,160 --> 01:55:17,880 Speaker 1: twenty one or twelve personnel, Let's bring our safeties down 2088 01:55:17,920 --> 01:55:19,960 Speaker 1: in the box. They will do something to combat then. 2089 01:55:21,200 --> 01:55:23,600 Speaker 1: So where do you think the Buffalo Bills go from here? 2090 01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:26,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they're four and one on the season, Next up, 2091 01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:29,440 Speaker 1: they have the Tennessee Titans, a team who Chris and 2092 01:55:29,480 --> 01:55:32,000 Speaker 1: I were talking about. They're kind of confusing right now. 2093 01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:33,680 Speaker 1: We don't know what they are, we don't know what 2094 01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:37,240 Speaker 1: they will be. All we know is they've had some losses. 2095 01:55:37,360 --> 01:55:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean against the New York Jets, a team who 2096 01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:42,000 Speaker 1: you don't think the Tennessee Times drop a game too. 2097 01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:45,200 Speaker 1: But they still have Derreck Henry and he went off 2098 01:55:45,720 --> 01:55:49,360 Speaker 1: yesterday and had three touchdowns. Yeah, I mean, Derek Henry's 2099 01:55:49,360 --> 01:55:50,640 Speaker 1: a stud and you got to go in there, and 2100 01:55:50,720 --> 01:55:53,000 Speaker 1: now you're going to see how good that rush defense 2101 01:55:53,080 --> 01:55:55,879 Speaker 1: truly is. They look really good Week one when everybody 2102 01:55:55,960 --> 01:55:58,480 Speaker 1: had touted up Naji Harris coming into that game and 2103 01:55:59,240 --> 01:56:01,760 Speaker 1: the Bill shut him down. But I mean, Derrick Henry 2104 01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:03,880 Speaker 1: and the Tennessee Titans gave the Bills fits last year. 2105 01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:06,560 Speaker 1: It was kind of a goofy game with the delay 2106 01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:09,480 Speaker 1: because of COVID and all that. But that being said, 2107 01:56:09,960 --> 01:56:12,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to pretend like it's the same animal 2108 01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:15,200 Speaker 1: you faced last week, where it's a team from last 2109 01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:17,600 Speaker 1: year that beat you. But the reality is the Tennessee 2110 01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:19,960 Speaker 1: Titans beat the Bills. Last year. They had very few 2111 01:56:20,040 --> 01:56:21,760 Speaker 1: losses and one of them came at the hands to 2112 01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:26,040 Speaker 1: the Titans in Nashville, So you know, the Bill's got 2113 01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:27,640 Speaker 1: to go down there and take care of business. I'm 2114 01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:31,080 Speaker 1: sure Sean's gonna be showing clips all week of Derrick 2115 01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:35,120 Speaker 1: Henry stiff arming Josh Norman or breaking plays off. On 2116 01:56:35,160 --> 01:56:38,680 Speaker 1: the Bills. It was Tannehill scrambling with his legs at 2117 01:56:38,720 --> 01:56:40,800 Speaker 1: times last year making place through the air. He'll do 2118 01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:44,160 Speaker 1: something to get this team motivated. But I mean, honestly, 2119 01:56:44,280 --> 01:56:47,480 Speaker 1: the last prior to last night, six of the last 2120 01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:50,240 Speaker 1: seven regular season games were won by twenty or more points, 2121 01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:52,960 Speaker 1: and then they win last night by eighteen. The one 2122 01:56:53,040 --> 01:56:54,880 Speaker 1: that was and was a loss to the Steelers. When 2123 01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:58,720 Speaker 1: this team gets rolling, they truly get rolling, and they're 2124 01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:02,120 Speaker 1: just clipping people at an unprecedented rate. That that was 2125 01:57:02,160 --> 01:57:04,200 Speaker 1: going to be my last question for you, Eric, because 2126 01:57:04,400 --> 01:57:07,120 Speaker 1: in a league right now where there have already been 2127 01:57:07,160 --> 01:57:09,760 Speaker 1: eighteen games with a game winning score in the finalment 2128 01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:12,560 Speaker 1: of regulation or overtime, and there have been twenty one 2129 01:57:12,640 --> 01:57:15,040 Speaker 1: games through the first five weeks decided by three points 2130 01:57:15,160 --> 01:57:17,720 Speaker 1: or less, the Bills are not part of that conversation 2131 01:57:17,920 --> 01:57:21,040 Speaker 1: at all. I mean at all, I mean not even close. 2132 01:57:21,120 --> 01:57:23,600 Speaker 1: To that one score game at the end. What does 2133 01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:27,240 Speaker 1: that say about what this team is to the rest 2134 01:57:27,320 --> 01:57:29,800 Speaker 1: of the league. I mean, they're not lumping people up 2135 01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:31,880 Speaker 1: like they were the last four weeks of the season 2136 01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:36,360 Speaker 1: last year, but they're getting pretty close to that. Well, 2137 01:57:36,960 --> 01:57:39,640 Speaker 1: I would say they are. Yeah, you know, they're margin 2138 01:57:39,720 --> 01:57:42,760 Speaker 1: of victory so high through their last four games, and 2139 01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's not practical to think that that's 2140 01:57:47,120 --> 01:57:49,160 Speaker 1: going to happen throughout the rest of the season. And 2141 01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:53,400 Speaker 1: I hope that the Bills fans and or the expectations 2142 01:57:53,440 --> 01:57:56,200 Speaker 1: aren't there, because that's not the expectations. Internally. You go 2143 01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:58,520 Speaker 1: into every game assuming that it's going to be some 2144 01:57:58,720 --> 01:58:02,080 Speaker 1: type of fourth order, one score game. That's how most 2145 01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:04,520 Speaker 1: games in the NFL are played, and that's what you 2146 01:58:04,600 --> 01:58:07,000 Speaker 1: go in thinking. But I mean, the way this team 2147 01:58:07,160 --> 01:58:11,000 Speaker 1: is playing right now, and it's the reason, is because 2148 01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:15,080 Speaker 1: you have the offense complimenting the defense and the defense 2149 01:58:15,160 --> 01:58:17,400 Speaker 1: complimenting the offense. When you have the number one scoring 2150 01:58:17,480 --> 01:58:19,800 Speaker 1: defense and the number one scoring offense in the NFL, 2151 01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:23,760 Speaker 1: your point margins are going to be absolutely insane. And 2152 01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:26,880 Speaker 1: I think the key right now and the encouraging thing, 2153 01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:30,320 Speaker 1: it's only through five games. But the encouraging thing is 2154 01:58:30,600 --> 01:58:32,240 Speaker 1: last year you felt like the Bills had to score 2155 01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:34,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of points to win, especially in the regular season. 2156 01:58:34,920 --> 01:58:36,920 Speaker 1: Two years ago, you felt like the defense had to 2157 01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:38,920 Speaker 1: play really well or the Bills weren't going to get 2158 01:58:38,960 --> 01:58:41,120 Speaker 1: the win. Now you feel like they can beat you 2159 01:58:41,240 --> 01:58:45,000 Speaker 1: either way. I think that's a good one to end on, Eric, 2160 01:58:45,120 --> 01:58:47,800 Speaker 1: So thanks very much for that. As the Bills have 2161 01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:51,320 Speaker 1: probably established through the first five games, they are now 2162 01:58:51,400 --> 01:58:54,760 Speaker 1: the alpha dog in the AFC. Chargers might have something 2163 01:58:54,800 --> 01:58:56,720 Speaker 1: to say about that, but their defense is given up 2164 01:58:56,720 --> 01:58:58,800 Speaker 1: about thirty or forty a game, so I don't know 2165 01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:01,760 Speaker 1: if they can hang with this Buffalo defense. But I 2166 01:59:01,880 --> 01:59:04,680 Speaker 1: guess maybe come the postseason we will find out if 2167 01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:07,160 Speaker 1: the Chargers still there at the end, because Justin Herbert 2168 01:59:07,240 --> 01:59:10,320 Speaker 1: is playing some pretty ridiculous football out west as well. 2169 01:59:10,800 --> 01:59:12,880 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, the Cardinals are the only 2170 01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:15,960 Speaker 1: undefeated team left in football. Of course, they're in the 2171 01:59:16,040 --> 01:59:18,920 Speaker 1: other conference right now. Eric, thanks as always for all 2172 01:59:18,960 --> 01:59:21,560 Speaker 1: the input. Gets some rest, get some sleep, don't worry 2173 01:59:21,560 --> 01:59:23,680 Speaker 1: about unpacking your bag till tomorrow, and we'll catch up 2174 01:59:23,720 --> 01:59:26,880 Speaker 1: with you next week. This sounds good. Thanks guys, all right, 2175 01:59:26,920 --> 01:59:29,560 Speaker 1: that's Eric Wood joining us here on One Bills Live 2176 01:59:29,600 --> 01:59:32,160 Speaker 1: as he does every Monday. We'll be back with more 2177 01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:35,040 Speaker 1: of your comments from the tweet sheet next here on 2178 01:59:35,080 --> 01:59:37,240 Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Claude to Health, It's Buffalo 2179 01:59:37,280 --> 01:59:49,640 Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All right, welcome back, final half hour the 2180 01:59:49,680 --> 01:59:51,960 Speaker 1: show here on a Bill's Victory Monday, Chris Brown, Matty 2181 01:59:52,000 --> 01:59:54,960 Speaker 1: Glab with you. One Bills Live is the show. Tweet 2182 01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:57,240 Speaker 1: sheet is where we are going to As we've been 2183 01:59:57,280 --> 01:59:59,200 Speaker 1: asking you today, what did last night's win tell you 2184 01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:03,680 Speaker 1: is different about this year's Bill's team. Kevin on the 2185 02:00:03,720 --> 02:00:07,000 Speaker 1: tweet sheet says that Josh has what it takes. The 2186 02:00:07,120 --> 02:00:09,600 Speaker 1: script was totally flipped from last year. Mahomes was the 2187 02:00:09,680 --> 02:00:12,520 Speaker 1: quarterback losing his cool while Josh just went about his 2188 02:00:12,600 --> 02:00:17,200 Speaker 1: business mistake free after the intentional grounding. Yeah, I mean, 2189 02:00:18,440 --> 02:00:21,360 Speaker 1: I think it was as close to an airtight performance 2190 02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:24,200 Speaker 1: as you were going to get. And I know you 2191 02:00:24,320 --> 02:00:26,640 Speaker 1: and I talked in the pregame on Bill's Field Pass 2192 02:00:26,680 --> 02:00:30,680 Speaker 1: Manning about how Josh just had to play within himself 2193 02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:35,960 Speaker 1: not get too far outside the parameters of the game plan. Yes, 2194 02:00:36,480 --> 02:00:39,440 Speaker 1: there is some improvisation that you want to have from Josh, 2195 02:00:39,520 --> 02:00:41,720 Speaker 1: because that can wind up being a very big play. 2196 02:00:41,720 --> 02:00:44,520 Speaker 1: As we saw on the Dawson Knox play. He extends 2197 02:00:44,600 --> 02:00:47,400 Speaker 1: the play, goes off script and makes something special happen. 2198 02:00:48,040 --> 02:00:53,800 Speaker 1: But he didn't push it beyond maybe that line where 2199 02:00:53,840 --> 02:00:56,120 Speaker 1: you say, oh, he's trying to do too much here. 2200 02:00:56,160 --> 02:00:58,080 Speaker 1: I think he played within the framework of the game 2201 02:00:58,160 --> 02:01:01,959 Speaker 1: plan and improvised when he had to with good results. 2202 02:01:03,600 --> 02:01:05,760 Speaker 1: And I want to see him take this performance into 2203 02:01:05,800 --> 02:01:07,440 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. I mean, this is his 2204 02:01:07,600 --> 02:01:11,520 Speaker 1: second three hundred yard passing performance of this season, and 2205 02:01:11,880 --> 02:01:14,760 Speaker 1: in his first few games there were some questions around 2206 02:01:15,200 --> 02:01:18,920 Speaker 1: his accuracy again or some of his decision making. I mean, 2207 02:01:19,280 --> 02:01:21,920 Speaker 1: this is a solid game for Josh Allen. We know 2208 02:01:22,040 --> 02:01:25,160 Speaker 1: the quarterback he was last season, and he's looking like 2209 02:01:25,360 --> 02:01:28,080 Speaker 1: that more now. He looked like that in this game. 2210 02:01:28,520 --> 02:01:32,080 Speaker 1: He played better than he did last year when he 2211 02:01:32,320 --> 02:01:35,760 Speaker 1: saw the Chiefs twice. So take this performance into the 2212 02:01:35,840 --> 02:01:39,040 Speaker 1: rest of the season. Be the quarterback that people know 2213 02:01:39,240 --> 02:01:41,920 Speaker 1: you can be with the weapons that you have at 2214 02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:46,520 Speaker 1: your disposal. Tiffany says several key editions both on offense 2215 02:01:46,600 --> 02:01:49,840 Speaker 1: and defense paid off last night. Sanders has been exceptional. 2216 02:01:50,040 --> 02:01:52,680 Speaker 1: The entire d line contributed to the cause and effect 2217 02:01:52,800 --> 02:01:55,920 Speaker 1: factor for the Chiefs poor performance on offense last night. 2218 02:01:56,240 --> 02:01:59,280 Speaker 1: Hats off to the entire organization. By the way, Josh 2219 02:01:59,800 --> 02:02:02,960 Speaker 1: is a beast. Yeah, I mean the D line, Maddie. 2220 02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:06,800 Speaker 1: We probably haven't talked enough about it today, but stars 2221 02:02:06,920 --> 02:02:12,720 Speaker 1: return combined with the I don't know how, I don't 2222 02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:15,600 Speaker 1: know what I would call it emergence of Justin Zimmer 2223 02:02:15,720 --> 02:02:19,400 Speaker 1: as a reliable interior player on a rotational basis. That 2224 02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:22,360 Speaker 1: was pretty wordy, but you get what I'm saying. And 2225 02:02:22,520 --> 02:02:29,240 Speaker 1: then Rousseau and bash Him along with Epanessa delivering often 2226 02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:32,080 Speaker 1: enough to make an impact on the game. Rousseau was 2227 02:02:32,120 --> 02:02:34,760 Speaker 1: clearly the best of the three that I mentioned there, 2228 02:02:35,320 --> 02:02:39,720 Speaker 1: But bash him flashes corrals the quarterback. Rousseau with the pick, 2229 02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:42,640 Speaker 1: tackle for loss, and a sack or half a sack 2230 02:02:44,320 --> 02:02:45,800 Speaker 1: or a sack. He had a sack, bash him had 2231 02:02:45,840 --> 02:02:50,240 Speaker 1: half a sack. And I just thought that, and Eric 2232 02:02:50,360 --> 02:02:52,240 Speaker 1: was talking about it when we spoke to him last segment, 2233 02:02:52,320 --> 02:02:55,480 Speaker 1: Maddie last and everybody's like, oh, it was great. They 2234 02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:58,960 Speaker 1: chose not to blitz him. That's smart. Well they did 2235 02:02:59,040 --> 02:03:01,600 Speaker 1: that in Week six l last year. The problem was 2236 02:03:01,800 --> 02:03:05,120 Speaker 1: that the defensive line as a front four last year 2237 02:03:05,760 --> 02:03:10,720 Speaker 1: was not good enough to play that way defensively and 2238 02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:14,640 Speaker 1: win the football game last night. Because of the improvements 2239 02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:18,200 Speaker 1: made on the defensive line, they played essentially the same way, 2240 02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:21,360 Speaker 1: you know, not getting killed on anything cheap or deep 2241 02:03:22,240 --> 02:03:26,040 Speaker 1: and asking their front six hold up against the run 2242 02:03:26,720 --> 02:03:30,840 Speaker 1: and outside of Mahomes leaking out a few times. Mission accomplished. 2243 02:03:32,480 --> 02:03:34,880 Speaker 1: And this is a defensive line that's been years in 2244 02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:37,520 Speaker 1: the making. I mean, you think back to that Ed 2245 02:03:37,640 --> 02:03:40,520 Speaker 1: Oliver pick. That's a first round draft pick that they 2246 02:03:40,600 --> 02:03:44,240 Speaker 1: spent on him. They spend a first round pick on 2247 02:03:44,440 --> 02:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau, a high pick on Boogie Basham, a high pick, 2248 02:03:48,160 --> 02:03:51,919 Speaker 1: a second round pick on aj Abanessa in twenty nineteen. 2249 02:03:52,320 --> 02:03:56,360 Speaker 1: There's been time and development put into this defensive line, 2250 02:03:56,920 --> 02:04:00,400 Speaker 1: so hopefully it is what it is now, and thankfully 2251 02:04:00,400 --> 02:04:03,960 Speaker 1: it is. But this is something that's taken years to create, 2252 02:04:04,760 --> 02:04:07,760 Speaker 1: maybe showing up a little bit later than Brandon Bean 2253 02:04:07,800 --> 02:04:10,360 Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott wanted it too. I think they wanted 2254 02:04:10,440 --> 02:04:13,720 Speaker 1: this out of the defensive line last year with the rotation, 2255 02:04:14,320 --> 02:04:17,480 Speaker 1: with what they thought they had, but unfortunately they couldn't 2256 02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:20,160 Speaker 1: do it last year. It's with the additions this year, 2257 02:04:20,280 --> 02:04:23,160 Speaker 1: and like you said, how Justin Zimmer has been able 2258 02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:25,560 Speaker 1: to play. I don't know if Brandon Bean and Sean 2259 02:04:25,640 --> 02:04:28,480 Speaker 1: McDermott thought Justin Zimmer was take the step forward that 2260 02:04:28,640 --> 02:04:31,240 Speaker 1: he has this season or maybe have the role that 2261 02:04:31,400 --> 02:04:35,000 Speaker 1: he has this season. But he's definitely also been a 2262 02:04:35,200 --> 02:04:38,000 Speaker 1: bright spot for the Buffalo Bills. I don't know if 2263 02:04:38,040 --> 02:04:41,600 Speaker 1: Brandon Bean thinks back to getting Justin Zimmer and thinking, oh, 2264 02:04:41,720 --> 02:04:43,560 Speaker 1: this guy's going to play a big role on the 2265 02:04:43,680 --> 02:04:47,120 Speaker 1: defensive line in a couple of years, and he definitely has. 2266 02:04:48,120 --> 02:04:50,919 Speaker 1: Chris on the tweet sheet says overall, great team performance. 2267 02:04:50,920 --> 02:04:53,280 Speaker 1: They're clicking on all Cylinder's only difference this year to 2268 02:04:53,360 --> 02:04:55,840 Speaker 1: me is the pass rush. They look really good out there. 2269 02:04:55,880 --> 02:04:57,920 Speaker 1: I think that's all we were missing on this team 2270 02:04:58,000 --> 02:05:00,360 Speaker 1: last year. We look like we're a complete squad. Now, 2271 02:05:00,920 --> 02:05:04,080 Speaker 1: let's go Bills. This one from Jay mad I don't 2272 02:05:04,080 --> 02:05:05,800 Speaker 1: know if that's any relation to you, Maddie. That's a 2273 02:05:05,840 --> 02:05:08,880 Speaker 1: pretty close resemblance to your Twitter handle. It told me 2274 02:05:08,960 --> 02:05:11,560 Speaker 1: that the defense is legit and that if we play 2275 02:05:11,600 --> 02:05:14,040 Speaker 1: our game, we can beat any team in the league. Also, 2276 02:05:14,120 --> 02:05:15,840 Speaker 1: the Knox is here to stay and all those who 2277 02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:19,080 Speaker 1: wanted Earth's were wrong. Sanders may be better than Brown 2278 02:05:19,320 --> 02:05:22,440 Speaker 1: was for us. Now, Mattie, I already put the stat 2279 02:05:22,480 --> 02:05:26,040 Speaker 1: out there we were talking to Eric. Nine touchdowns from 2280 02:05:26,120 --> 02:05:29,000 Speaker 1: Sanders and Knox in the last four games. That's a 2281 02:05:29,040 --> 02:05:33,200 Speaker 1: pretty stupid number, but I think it speaks to how 2282 02:05:33,600 --> 02:05:36,800 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators going into this season with the Bills on 2283 02:05:36,880 --> 02:05:39,880 Speaker 1: their schedule, watch twenty twenty game tape and said, we 2284 02:05:40,040 --> 02:05:43,360 Speaker 1: have to neutralize digs and we cannot let Beasley kill 2285 02:05:43,480 --> 02:05:47,320 Speaker 1: us on third down. All the attention has been paid 2286 02:05:47,440 --> 02:05:49,760 Speaker 1: to those two players to a large degree through the 2287 02:05:49,840 --> 02:05:52,560 Speaker 1: course of the first five games, and Emmanuel Sanders and 2288 02:05:52,640 --> 02:05:55,680 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox are making them pay every single week, not 2289 02:05:55,880 --> 02:05:59,240 Speaker 1: just with catches to extend drives, but putting points on 2290 02:05:59,360 --> 02:06:02,360 Speaker 1: the board touchdowns in four games for those two guys. 2291 02:06:03,680 --> 02:06:08,080 Speaker 1: And not every team, not every offense has the capability 2292 02:06:08,160 --> 02:06:10,680 Speaker 1: to do what the Buffalo Bills are doing. The fact 2293 02:06:10,720 --> 02:06:13,880 Speaker 1: that they're able to be so multiple and go to 2294 02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:16,160 Speaker 1: different guys when they want to go to different guys. 2295 02:06:16,440 --> 02:06:19,040 Speaker 1: I go back to Sean mcderbott and Brandon Bean again 2296 02:06:19,520 --> 02:06:23,600 Speaker 1: in the decisions that they've made to create this offense, 2297 02:06:23,680 --> 02:06:25,800 Speaker 1: the weapons that they have. They go out there and 2298 02:06:25,840 --> 02:06:28,760 Speaker 1: they get Emmanuel standards, which they've been trying to do 2299 02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:32,280 Speaker 1: for the last few seasons. They believe in a guy 2300 02:06:32,400 --> 02:06:34,680 Speaker 1: like Dawson Knox when a lot of people were riding 2301 02:06:34,760 --> 02:06:37,960 Speaker 1: him off, they choose to put their confidence in him 2302 02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:41,600 Speaker 1: and trust his ability. And look how it's shaping up 2303 02:06:41,680 --> 02:06:44,320 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills right now. Like you said, nine 2304 02:06:44,480 --> 02:06:47,000 Speaker 1: touchdowns right now between the two of those, I mean, 2305 02:06:47,160 --> 02:06:48,960 Speaker 1: what can they do the rest of the season. And 2306 02:06:49,040 --> 02:06:51,560 Speaker 1: then when defenses start to key in on those two guys, 2307 02:06:51,840 --> 02:06:55,400 Speaker 1: then you go ahead and deploy different players. The Bills 2308 02:06:55,480 --> 02:06:57,400 Speaker 1: offense has a lot of guys to play with, and 2309 02:06:57,520 --> 02:06:59,520 Speaker 1: that is not the case for a lot of teams 2310 02:06:59,560 --> 02:07:02,240 Speaker 1: in the na FELL. And you know, it's hard not 2311 02:07:02,440 --> 02:07:08,400 Speaker 1: to go back to the ability to project NFL talent 2312 02:07:09,040 --> 02:07:13,600 Speaker 1: by Brandon Bean's personnel department. I mean, Dawson Knox was 2313 02:07:13,840 --> 02:07:17,600 Speaker 1: a converted walk on quarterback, had all of fifteen receptions 2314 02:07:17,640 --> 02:07:21,960 Speaker 1: in his entire college career. But they saw a unique 2315 02:07:22,440 --> 02:07:25,320 Speaker 1: skill set in terms of athletic ability for a man 2316 02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:27,640 Speaker 1: that goes six to five and about two fifty five, 2317 02:07:28,360 --> 02:07:31,080 Speaker 1: And they said, look, it may take a little bit 2318 02:07:31,120 --> 02:07:34,640 Speaker 1: of time because he's young at the position, but based 2319 02:07:34,720 --> 02:07:38,080 Speaker 1: on our character evaluation, we know it's important to him 2320 02:07:38,600 --> 02:07:42,080 Speaker 1: to personally improve on a daily basis. We believe in 2321 02:07:42,120 --> 02:07:44,600 Speaker 1: the player development we have here in our coaching staff, 2322 02:07:44,920 --> 02:07:48,000 Speaker 1: So it may take a year or two, but he'll 2323 02:07:48,040 --> 02:07:50,640 Speaker 1: get it. And here we are in year three and 2324 02:07:50,760 --> 02:07:53,440 Speaker 1: it's a breakout year for him, much the way the 2325 02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:57,720 Speaker 1: breakout year was for Josh Allen in year three and others. So, 2326 02:07:59,040 --> 02:08:01,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not an easy thing to do to 2327 02:08:01,880 --> 02:08:05,040 Speaker 1: project that and then reap the rewards, but they are 2328 02:08:05,120 --> 02:08:08,160 Speaker 1: reaping the rewards from Dawson Knox for sure. The last 2329 02:08:08,200 --> 02:08:11,840 Speaker 1: one on the tweet sheet from Waydon d Line looked 2330 02:08:11,880 --> 02:08:14,960 Speaker 1: crazy as usual, didn't give Mahomes time to go deep 2331 02:08:15,400 --> 02:08:19,120 Speaker 1: or make his magic. And the pace slash urgency that 2332 02:08:19,280 --> 02:08:22,160 Speaker 1: the offense played with, both of which derived from what 2333 02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:26,200 Speaker 1: in my mind was an improvement in play calling. Yeah, 2334 02:08:26,240 --> 02:08:28,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Eric touched on it also, and I was 2335 02:08:29,000 --> 02:08:31,600 Speaker 1: talking to him about the personnel groupings and stuff. And 2336 02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:34,560 Speaker 1: as we talked about earlier in the show, Maddie, the 2337 02:08:34,720 --> 02:08:37,280 Speaker 1: fourth quarter drive that you had a Maddie Award for 2338 02:08:38,360 --> 02:08:41,680 Speaker 1: the play calling on that drive, specifically the mixing and 2339 02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:45,000 Speaker 1: matching between the run and the pass game some play 2340 02:08:45,040 --> 02:08:48,920 Speaker 1: action as well. I mean, just really a master's stroke 2341 02:08:49,440 --> 02:08:52,880 Speaker 1: and how to close out a football game when your 2342 02:08:52,920 --> 02:08:56,720 Speaker 1: guys are feeling it. So Yeah, a salute to Brian 2343 02:08:56,840 --> 02:09:00,680 Speaker 1: Dabel as well for getting the best of Steve Spagnola 2344 02:09:00,760 --> 02:09:04,200 Speaker 1: in that defensive staff for the Chiefs. Yeah. And a 2345 02:09:04,280 --> 02:09:08,000 Speaker 1: salute to Josh Allen and his offense, who has gotten 2346 02:09:08,080 --> 02:09:11,520 Speaker 1: better year after year and gotten more versatile and more 2347 02:09:11,640 --> 02:09:15,080 Speaker 1: multiple year after year. Some of the things that Brian 2348 02:09:15,160 --> 02:09:17,440 Speaker 1: dave All throws at this offense he probably doesn't do 2349 02:09:17,640 --> 02:09:19,960 Speaker 1: a few years ago, and it's because of the steps 2350 02:09:20,000 --> 02:09:23,440 Speaker 1: that Josh Allen has taken to become the quarterback that 2351 02:09:23,520 --> 02:09:28,680 Speaker 1: he is today. Yeah. And so looking forward now, as 2352 02:09:28,720 --> 02:09:31,400 Speaker 1: you were doing with Eric in the last segment, Titan's 2353 02:09:31,480 --> 02:09:35,200 Speaker 1: next up on the docket here, Derrick Henry is still 2354 02:09:35,400 --> 02:09:38,200 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Another one hundred and thirty yards and three 2355 02:09:38,240 --> 02:09:42,160 Speaker 1: touchdowns last week against the Jaguars defense that, to be honest, 2356 02:09:42,280 --> 02:09:44,640 Speaker 1: is struggling. I don't think that's any secret to anybody. 2357 02:09:44,720 --> 02:09:47,760 Speaker 1: They now, what is it? Twenty straight losses? I think, 2358 02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:53,880 Speaker 1: stretching back to last year, it's getting ugly. Man. I mean, 2359 02:09:54,840 --> 02:09:57,440 Speaker 1: I don't know how you fix that. They got a 2360 02:09:57,480 --> 02:09:58,960 Speaker 1: lot of work to do there. They got a rookie 2361 02:09:59,040 --> 02:10:02,320 Speaker 1: quarterback who's learning on the job. But the point here 2362 02:10:02,480 --> 02:10:05,720 Speaker 1: is you've got a Titans team, Maddie, that certainly can 2363 02:10:05,800 --> 02:10:08,560 Speaker 1: still run the football third in the league, ninth and 2364 02:10:08,640 --> 02:10:13,240 Speaker 1: points per game. They've got more first downs than anybody 2365 02:10:13,280 --> 02:10:15,840 Speaker 1: in football. Well, actually they're tied for third and first downs. 2366 02:10:15,880 --> 02:10:19,840 Speaker 1: I take that back. It's their defense that has let 2367 02:10:19,920 --> 02:10:24,840 Speaker 1: them down twenty fourth and points allowed and twenty second 2368 02:10:24,960 --> 02:10:28,200 Speaker 1: in terms of being a total defense. So there are 2369 02:10:28,280 --> 02:10:31,280 Speaker 1: some deficiencies there that they're still trying to correct. Their 2370 02:10:31,320 --> 02:10:34,800 Speaker 1: offensive line has had some injuries, So I don't know. 2371 02:10:34,960 --> 02:10:36,840 Speaker 1: The team is an enigma, as we said at the 2372 02:10:36,880 --> 02:10:39,640 Speaker 1: top of the show, and I don't know what to 2373 02:10:39,800 --> 02:10:42,640 Speaker 1: think of them based on the caliber of opponents they've 2374 02:10:42,680 --> 02:10:44,800 Speaker 1: had and based on the up and down nature of 2375 02:10:44,840 --> 02:10:49,120 Speaker 1: their play. Yeah, they allowed thirty eight points to the Cardinals, 2376 02:10:49,200 --> 02:10:52,840 Speaker 1: thirty to the Seahawks, than sixteen to the Colts, twenty 2377 02:10:52,880 --> 02:10:56,360 Speaker 1: seven points to the Jets, and nineteen to the Jaguars. 2378 02:10:56,520 --> 02:10:59,520 Speaker 1: So I think the Buffalo Bills, of course, are just 2379 02:10:59,600 --> 02:11:01,880 Speaker 1: going to have to do what they do best. With 2380 02:11:02,040 --> 02:11:04,480 Speaker 1: a team that you don't really know what it is. 2381 02:11:04,960 --> 02:11:07,000 Speaker 1: Shutting down the run is going to be really important 2382 02:11:07,280 --> 02:11:10,880 Speaker 1: in this game. And we thought about last game against 2383 02:11:10,920 --> 02:11:12,480 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I guess now it's the last game we 2384 02:11:12,560 --> 02:11:17,040 Speaker 1: can call it. And the attitude, the feel about this 2385 02:11:17,280 --> 02:11:20,240 Speaker 1: game taking down a team that the Buffalo Bills haven't 2386 02:11:20,840 --> 02:11:23,400 Speaker 1: in the last two meetings. When you look back to 2387 02:11:23,560 --> 02:11:26,640 Speaker 1: last year Titans game. Last year, that was a game 2388 02:11:26,720 --> 02:11:30,880 Speaker 1: that pissed the Buffalo Bills off. They lost that game. 2389 02:11:31,160 --> 02:11:33,600 Speaker 1: It was a game that was rescheduled because of COVID. 2390 02:11:33,880 --> 02:11:36,560 Speaker 1: The Titans had an outbreak, so the game gets moved 2391 02:11:36,560 --> 02:11:39,240 Speaker 1: to a Tuesday night. The Buffalo Bills do not play 2392 02:11:39,320 --> 02:11:42,080 Speaker 1: their type of football that anyone was expecting to see. 2393 02:11:42,120 --> 02:11:44,440 Speaker 1: The Titans kind of come out and play woe is me, 2394 02:11:44,680 --> 02:11:47,520 Speaker 1: We're the victim here, and that game made the Buffalo 2395 02:11:47,600 --> 02:11:50,280 Speaker 1: Bills pretty mad. So I have to think, while they're 2396 02:11:50,280 --> 02:11:52,360 Speaker 1: going to say this is just the next game, this 2397 02:11:52,560 --> 02:11:55,600 Speaker 1: is a game that the Buffalo Bills really want to win. Yeah, 2398 02:11:55,840 --> 02:11:58,000 Speaker 1: they'll be motivated for sure. I don't think coach mcderma 2399 02:11:58,120 --> 02:11:59,600 Speaker 1: is going to have to do much to get them 2400 02:11:59,680 --> 02:12:01,920 Speaker 1: hyped up, not only for a Monday Night game, but 2401 02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:04,720 Speaker 1: for a game against an opponent where they feel that 2402 02:12:04,800 --> 02:12:08,000 Speaker 1: they entered an unfair situation with the game getting moved twice, 2403 02:12:08,320 --> 02:12:11,760 Speaker 1: getting told literally forty eight hours beforehand, hey you're playing 2404 02:12:11,840 --> 02:12:14,280 Speaker 1: these guys, get on a plane and go. We have 2405 02:12:14,360 --> 02:12:16,000 Speaker 1: to take a break. But Maddie and I'll close it 2406 02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:18,240 Speaker 1: up next here on This Bill's Victory Monday on One 2407 02:12:18,280 --> 02:12:20,840 Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalada Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. 2408 02:12:32,440 --> 02:12:34,680 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back. Closing it up here on A 2409 02:12:34,760 --> 02:12:39,000 Speaker 1: Bill's Victory Monday. Chris Brown, Maddie glab with you. And 2410 02:12:40,520 --> 02:12:43,880 Speaker 1: it's hard to think if each week, Maddie, like, what 2411 02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:46,400 Speaker 1: the heck does this team do for an encore? But 2412 02:12:46,920 --> 02:12:52,040 Speaker 1: each week they come up with another convincing victory, especially 2413 02:12:52,120 --> 02:12:55,280 Speaker 1: each of the last three weeks. So what do we 2414 02:12:55,400 --> 02:13:00,040 Speaker 1: think the encore is for Monday Night? Next week? What 2415 02:13:00,200 --> 02:13:02,360 Speaker 1: is the encore for Monday Night? I want to see 2416 02:13:02,360 --> 02:13:06,480 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills hang another thirty eight points on the scoreboard, 2417 02:13:07,000 --> 02:13:09,000 Speaker 1: go at least thirty five. I mean, they've done it 2418 02:13:09,080 --> 02:13:12,000 Speaker 1: in four straight games, why not make it five straight? 2419 02:13:12,400 --> 02:13:15,640 Speaker 1: And how about shut down Derrick Henry. I don't want 2420 02:13:15,760 --> 02:13:18,360 Speaker 1: to see a touchdown out of him, limit him to 2421 02:13:18,440 --> 02:13:22,320 Speaker 1: maybe forty five rushing yards, and I'll be a happy 2422 02:13:22,440 --> 02:13:25,720 Speaker 1: camper and we can go into Week seven feeling all good. Yeah. 2423 02:13:25,920 --> 02:13:28,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I'd sign up for that in a second. 2424 02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:32,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. For some reason, I 2425 02:13:32,960 --> 02:13:35,400 Speaker 1: just find myself going back to this dark place where 2426 02:13:35,440 --> 02:13:38,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, how long they cowt? Long can they 2427 02:13:38,240 --> 02:13:41,040 Speaker 1: keep this up? Because I thought the NFL last I checked, 2428 02:13:41,080 --> 02:13:44,400 Speaker 1: the NFL was a week to week league where some 2429 02:13:44,640 --> 02:13:46,720 Speaker 1: weeks it's not as easy to pull out a victory 2430 02:13:46,800 --> 02:13:48,240 Speaker 1: as it is in other weeks. But that has not 2431 02:13:48,360 --> 02:13:50,879 Speaker 1: been the case for the Bills, no matter what caliber 2432 02:13:50,920 --> 02:13:53,760 Speaker 1: of team they faced. They're facing a perennial playoff team 2433 02:13:53,800 --> 02:13:56,000 Speaker 1: this week.
