7
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:02,040

8
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: Back to pass, looking deep down the middle on a

9
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: post pattern, He's got Collins caught it to fifteen and

10
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: in for the touchdown.

11
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: He got behind Rasoul Douglas.

12
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: Took the loan setback, gets the handoff up the middle,

13
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: fighting to the goal line and he's in.

14
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: James Cook with a five.

15
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: Yard touchdown run and the Bills are finally in the

16
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: end zone. Back to pass and it's complete to Covid

17
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: gets away from a tackler thirty five thirty, twenty five,

18
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen ten five and Healed supersaults into the end

19
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: zone for a touchdown forty nine yards. The rookie sticks it.

20
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 3: In the end zone.

21
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: Stroud looking deep over the middle, and it's picked off

22
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: by Terrell.

23
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Bernard in the nineteen yard line.

24
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: Terrell Bernard read ZJ. Stroud like a book and the

25
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: Bills half the football shrouded, fakes, pumps, pocket collapsing.

26
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: He fuffled the football.

27
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: Dorrian Williams jumped on and it's still loose to the

28
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: Bills habit. Yes they do, says the referee, Dorrian Williams.

29
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: All over the football do want smooth force the fuffle

30
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: that by Ferguson, hold by Martin, kick by basses up

31
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: and it is good. And with three eighteen left, the

32
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: Bills have come all the way back from a twenty

33
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: to three deficit to tie the score. Here at twenty

34
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: here's the snap hold his down kick is long enough

35
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: and it is good. At the gun Kaimi Fairbear wins

36
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: it for the Houston Texans with a fifty nine yard

37
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: game winning field goal. Twenty three to twenty is your

38
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: final score. That is your game. Rewind presented by connect

41
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: struggle and get off to a slow start on offense.

42
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: They score just three points in the first half for

43
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: the second consecutive week. Their defense down five starters, plays

44
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: an unbelievable second half in which they force a turnover

45
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 2: on downs to take points off the board and then

46
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: get two takeaways in the fourth quarter and it helps

47
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: them tie the game at twenty, but ultimately they fall

48
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: as a final series deep in their own territory, goes

49
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: horribly wrong and it gives the Texans another opportunity in

50
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: regulation to win the football game.

51
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is as bad as these are bad

52
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: numbers as we've seen from Josh Allen since his rookie year, right,

53
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: I mean, oh yeah, this is as bad as it gets.

54
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: He really did and.

55
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: Run game was okay, and I mean cook was like

56
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: twenty for eighty two something like that, so it didn't

57
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 4: look bad on paper, but just couldn't get first downs.

58
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: They were non existent on third down.

59
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: For five in the second half on third three.

60
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 4: Of thirteen on the game from on third down just terrible.

61
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: And then they got a fourth down as you saw

62
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: on the highlights the fourth and five to Keon Coleman. Great,

63
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 4: they picked they went forward on fourth and five, which

64
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: is amazing. They got it and it turned it into

65
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: a touchdown. And then you know, earlier in the game

66
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 4: you saw Josh Allen going on a hot read to

67
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: Keon not expecting it hits him in the back of

68
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 4: the head. So you get both ends of the spectrum

69
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: from Keon Coleman the great forty nine yard touchdown on

70
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: a little hitch route and then you know it goes

71
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: off the back of his head because he's not miscommunicated

72
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 4: with Josh. Same thing on the other side of the

73
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: ball from the rookie cole Bishop play did some pretty

74
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 4: good stuff.

75
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: Gives up the deep.

76
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: Touchdown, also missed about three Yeah, I.

77
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: Missed some tackles, So you all the entire spectrum from

78
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 4: the Bill's rookies who were actually in the game on

79
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 4: the other side of the ball. I thought, once again,

80
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: like we saw in Week one of the regular season,

81
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 4: if you remember the Arizona game, and this time, both

82
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: offense and defense, they struggled out of the gate like

83
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 4: the game plans did not work, and it took them

84
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 4: till halftime to get it under control, to get it

85
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 4: back on track. These two coordinators, Bobby and Joe seemed

86
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: to you know, they they're great at adjusting and say okay,

87
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: now we got it. But coming out of the gate

88
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: game plans haven't been good. I'll say this too. I

89
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 4: didn't think about this until, you know, a few minutes

90
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: before we came on the air. You know you're kind

91
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 4: of like, okay, let me when you take a deep breath,

92
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: this is kind of where I thought they'd be three

93
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 4: and two. I thought, Man, it's you know, we got

94
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: all these question marks, all these new people were not

95
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 4: gonna come together.

96
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: But this is not how I thought it was gonna look.

97
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: In terms of where the wins loss came.

98
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, coming out of the gate and flying high three weeks, Man,

99
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 4: let's go right. And then now it's and sitting after

100
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: five games at three and two, I'm like, okay with it,

101
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 4: except that it looks like we're going downhill, not uphill.

102
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

103
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 5: Right.

104
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: I think we said for most of the offseason leading

105
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: up to the regular season, with all of the roster turnover,

106
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: which was higher than it had been in recent years,

107
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: that we were expecting them. I know I said this personally.

108
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: I said, look, I think in the first month of

109
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: the season, they're gonna stub their toe here in a

110
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: couple of places. But I think come mid season they

111
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: may start to hit their stride. If they can pull

112
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: all those pieces together, if you can get some development

113
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: for some young players, and then come November and December,

114
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: you know, they might be they have the potential to

115
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: be an even better team than they were last year

116
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: because they're going to be younger and more athletic. So

117
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: if those players develop and give you something, you know,

118
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: by the time you make the turn towards the second

119
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: half of the season, it could be promising. But yeah,

120
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: I was kind of expecting them to be somewhere around

121
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: here after five games.

122
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll say this too, and I get it.

123
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: Five five.

124
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: Much higher expectations after the three and oh start.

125
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you got five starters out on defense and

126
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: Khalil Shakir was out on offense.

127
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: So okay, well those aren't excuses, they're just facts. Yeah,

128
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: and player availability is.

129
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: Maybe you're not going to be as highly efficient, particularly

130
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: on defensive side of the ball, as you thought you

131
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 4: might be, even with you know, the new faces that

132
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 4: are now injured. But yeah, we're all sitting there going man,

133
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 4: and I don't know, I guess most of you heard.

134
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: I was watching the game in Chicago.

135
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get into that a little bit later.

136
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: All of us were, you know, that last drive inside

137
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 4: their own five.

138
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: I get it.

139
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 4: You put the ball in the hands of your best

140
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: player and Josh uh but man, oh man, I thought

141
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 4: for sure they were going to run that football on

142
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: the first down. When you get the you get a

143
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 4: penalty on on right, which was the key on which

144
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: was declined. I'm like, ah, okay, so not gonna run it. Well,

145
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: they didn't run it, and they didn't they didn't complete anything.

146
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 4: I'm like, ugh, you know it was. It was ugly

147
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: right there at the end and Josh throwing it up

148
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: for grabs to Holland. Yeah, the protection was not good yesterday.

149
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 4: I thought Josh was running. He got to the point

150
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: where he was nervous and was running when he didn't

151
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: need to run, and he got hit on this throat

152
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: to Samuel or the otherwise you would think Samuel was standing.

153
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 4: There was some separation and Josh got hit by the

154
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 4: you know, Dion got pushed back into Josh's lap and

155
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 4: he got hit right before he released it.

156
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: So that didn't work.

157
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: All that aside, I would have been okay with handing

158
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: it off three times, see what you could get. But

159
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: I'm also I see that I see what you know

160
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: Joe Brady saw trying to listen let's put it in

161
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 4: the hands of Josh see if he can make something happen.

162
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 4: But that's a guy who was having a really rough day.

163
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was nine of twenty seven before that drive

164
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: and finished nine of thirty, which is the lowest. Well,

165
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: I'll read it right off the sheets, so we get

166
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: it right here. So first of all, it's his first

167
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 2: career game with a sub forty completion percentage, his fewest

168
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: completions in a game with twenty plus pass attempts in

169
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: his career, and his thirty percent completion percentage is the

170
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: lowest in a game with thirty plus pass attempts by

171
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 2: any player in the NFL over the last thirty seasons.

172
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: You have to go all the way back to Week ten,

173
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen to find anybody close. Cincinnati's Andy Dalton completed

174
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: thirty point three percent of his passes ten years ago.

175
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: So it was it was a bad game by any

176
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: measure for Josh. And look, there are other contributors to

177
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 2: the shortcomings of the performance on offense. Joe Brady has

178
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: to come up with a better plan at the start

179
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: and probably call a better game. Pass protection has gone

180
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: downhill since Week three in precipitous fashion. The guard play

181
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: has not been good the last two weeks in pass protection,

182
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: and it is readily noticeable, and you know you're facing

183
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: a really good Jets front coming up this week on

184
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: Monday Night. So pass protection has been an issue, and

185
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: Josh has had a problem with this, and we've talked

186
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: to Greg Cosell about this on many occasions since he's

187
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: been in the league, and this has been persistent through

188
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: his seven years of playing quarterback for this team. He

189
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: leaves the pocket prematurely, very often when he doesn't have to,

190
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: and he did it again yesterday, and maybe it's because

191
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: there was a lot of pressure early in the game

192
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: and it sped up his internal clock, But there are

193
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: times where there are receivers again running open underneath, and

194
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: he's trying to take the big shot down the field

195
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: and he avoids. The last two weeks, he has avoided

196
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: some easy button answers underneath, instead going for all the

197
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: marbles down the field when that's the low percentage play

198
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: to make. And on a day where not a lot

199
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: was going right for the offense, you could make the

200
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: argument that the easy button throws were probably the best

201
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 2: way for this offense to stay on schedule. There were

202
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: also instances when he did leave the pocket and had

203
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: nothing but green grass in front of him to run

204
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: and pick up a first down and keep drives alive,

205
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: and he did not do that either. He chose to

206
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: throw the football instead, and with limited success. I think

207
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: going into this week's game, if he has green grass

208
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: in front of him, he'd better take it, because the

209
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: Jets make it difficult. You have to earn every single

210
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: yard you get. So if you have ten yards of

211
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 2: running room, take the ten yards on the ground and say,

212
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: thank you very much, were first and tenth. Gotta do

213
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: that this week.

214
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got to do it.

215
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: This when you look at how bad those numbers are

216
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: and at the end of the game, and you pointed

217
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 4: this out as well, and you were right too about

218
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: what the Texans do on their next to the last possession.

219
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: It's a butcher. I can't believe that this was a

220
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 3: three point game.

221
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 2: Well, the Bills should have never gotten the ball back

222
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: at the end, that's right. They should butchered the end

223
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: of the game. The Texans, so they basically force the

224
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,359
Speaker 2: Bills to get rid of all three of their timeouts

225
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: as they're trying to preserve clock, hoping they get the

226
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 2: ball back. The Bills use their last time out with

227
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 2: one point fifty two left in the game, and it's

228
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: a third and ten for the Texans and a gumba

229
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: wale leaks out of the backfield, catches a pass, goes

230
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: eleven yards, gets the first down and stays in bounds.

231
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: Really really smart play like gets past the first down marker,

232
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: gives himself up in bounds.

233
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

234
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: Clock continues to run. Now it's first and ten at

235
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: the forty four. A gumbowale up the middle for two yards.

236
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: Clock keeps running. Second and eight at the Bills forty two.

237
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: At forty nine seconds, they snap the ball. Stroud throws

238
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: to Dalton Schultz on the sideline and he runs out

239
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: of bounds and stops the clock for Buffalo. With forty

240
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: four seconds left, it's third and five at the Buffalo

241
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: thirty nine. All CJ. Stroud has to do is run

242
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: forward on a sneak and get two yards to the

243
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: thirty seven ye and you're looking at a fifty five

244
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: yard field goal for Kayimi Fairbairn, who is seven of

245
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 2: eight on fifty yarders on the season, including one earlier

246
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: in the game.

247
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: And you'll do it with no time left.

248
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: Instead, he drops back to pass, he gets blitzed. He

249
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,239
Speaker 2: throws it to no One intentional grounding fourth and fifteen

250
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 2: from the Buffalo forty nine. They butchered me the game.

251
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 4: Why did they drop back to pass right there? I

252
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 4: have no idea even a quarterback sneak is a better eye.

253
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. It's it's forty four seconds on

254
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 2: third and five. You sneak it forward for a yard

255
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: two yards. It's a fifty five yard field goal attempt.

256
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: The clock's running, you let it go down and it's

257
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: under forty seconds, so you let the clock run down

258
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: to three seconds, use one of your three timeouts. Here

259
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: comes fairbaron to kick it, and if he doesn't make

260
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: it, it's overtime.

261
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 4: Right Instead, they give it back to the Bills, who'd

262
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 4: throw it three times.

263
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, we won uped them. Hold our beer.

264
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 4: You not only gave us the ball back without getting

265
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 4: the point the game winning. All I had to do

266
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 4: is whatever both those I mean and the Bills were

267
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 4: worse at than the Texans were. They the end of

268
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 4: that game on both sides of it. Now that the tech,

269
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: since it all goes away because the kick goes through,

270
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 4: a fifty nine yarder goes through, so it all goes

271
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 4: away for the Texans, and the Bills are sitting there

272
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 4: with egg on their face after stopping the clock three

273
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 4: times on a run play, can't get a yard from

274
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 4: their inside their five yard line, so they got a

275
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: short long snap to uh to Sam Martin, he can't

276
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: get a good punt.

277
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: It pends in thirty four yards.

278
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 4: He puts in thirty four yards in presto change. Oh

279
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 4: you're you're dead in the water.

280
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, he punted fifty six.

281
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: Yards, fifty six yards. He put it fifty.

282
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: Six forty one, and then Robert Woods returned at thirteen yards,

283
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: so he kicked it far. Yeah, So it's the net

284
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: was not good. The net was well, the net was

285
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: forty three. They're pretty good. So yeah, it's Sam Martin

286
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: a good day.

287
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

288
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: It flipping the field.

289
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

290
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 4: Well yeah, it's a rough day when you punish your MVP.

291
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

292
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 4: And so it was man, oh man, this is this

293
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 4: is why I say I get it in the big picture. Okay,

294
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 4: all right, you know it's we lost two straight and

295
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: it's like one of them was bad. This one makes

296
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: you feel even worse almost than the than the Baltimore.

297
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: I can't even at the Baltimore loss seems like a

298
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 4: million years ago. Now this loss makes you feel sick

299
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 4: because you played horrible football and you got a chance

300
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: to win it and he gave it away.

301
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: Now that's that's really hard.

302
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 4: And I get it to Sean sitting and Sean mcderm's

303
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 4: taking the blame for this, and it's his responsibility.

304
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 3: I get it.

305
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 4: We've seen that, and I've Brownie and I've been chewing

306
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 4: this up all morning. In the thirteen second game, they

307
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 4: coached not to lose. They coached like they didn't trust

308
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 4: their players to go up, play an honest defense and

309
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 4: keep it in front of them and hold them back.

310
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 4: There they drew up, they threw them back, gave him

311
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: a twenty yard play, gave him another twenty yard play,

312
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden they're in field goal range.

313
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 4: Broome that you lose the game. It's like they didn't

314
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: trust their player in that thirteen second game. Remember when

315
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 4: Leslie Frasier was the press, you know, we all remember it.

316
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 4: This time they trusted their players too much, like they

317
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: go and he trusted his coordinators too much, said listen,

318
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: go out, get a first down. Let's go run this

319
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 4: clock down. Let's get us out of our own end.

320
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 4: And I get it too. In the first play out

321
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: of there, say let's see if we can get a

322
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 4: drive starter. Maybe if we do get a positive play, okay,

323
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 4: then we got all right, let's see if we can

324
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 4: get into field goal range and try a sixty five

325
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 4: yarder at the gun.

326
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, that kind of thing.

327
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 4: But when the get a penalty and you're backed up

328
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 4: and say all right, now let's hand it off. Well,

329
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: you know, Joe Brady doesn't want to do that. Sean

330
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 4: gives it to his coordinator, say all right, let's do

331
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 4: what you do. Let's see if we can get it.

332
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 4: Brady calls a play. He thinks Canon Josh is throwing

333
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 4: for the moon. Dude, just get a first down. So,

334
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 4: on the one hand, he got the thirteen second game

335
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 4: where they didn't trust their players, this one where they

336
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 4: gave the player, there's the chance, and now they they

337
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 4: they puke. So now you punt it. You get a

338
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 4: fifty four yard punch. Sam Martin does his jo you

339
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 4: can't get down there. Robert Woods does a really nice job,

340
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 4: and you end up losing the game on both ends

341
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 4: of the coaching spectrum, one where you didn't trust your

342
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 4: players enough. On the other one you trusted your players

343
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 4: and your coaches too much. And you know Sean's getting

344
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 4: hammered for this. He's got big shoulders. But come on, Josh,

345
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 4: you don't throw the ball on whatever.

346
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 3: I mean.

347
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 4: You got to hand the ball off after that first

348
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 4: drive starter that didn't wasn't a drive starter. Let's take

349
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 4: what we can get. Make them use their timeouts, and

350
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: they would have getten down into what inside of twenty seconds?

351
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's safe to say ten to twelve seconds.

352
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 4: Right, you give give him inside a twenty seven time

353
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 4: and no time and they would have had no timeouts.

354
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 4: Big difference. And that's you know. So we've been on

355
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 4: this roller coaster all over the all over the cosmos.

356
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: I will losing games all different.

357
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: I will submit this one bit of information in an

358
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: effort to make Bills fans feel a little bit better. Okay,

359
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: because the Bills this is now back to back losses

360
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 2: here to fall to three and two. In each of

361
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: the last five seasons, the Bills have had one set

362
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: of back to back losses. Even in their twenty twenty season,

363
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: when they went thirteen and four, they had one set

364
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 2: of back to back losses. I'm not indicating this is

365
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: a thirteen and four football team. My point is this

366
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: has happened every season each of the last five seasons

367
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 2: since twenty nineteen. They lose back to back games, and

368
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: then it doesn't happen again. Will that be the case

369
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: again this year? Who knows? It is a different team

370
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: than the one that has played for the better part

371
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: of the last five years. I will give.

372
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: You that there's a lot to fix.

373
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: But the point is we've seen this before, so you know,

374
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: don't start.

375
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they win division every year of those years,

376
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 4: so you know, And then and this just then, all

377
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 4: of a sudden, the AFC East went to the AFC League.

378
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, look at where we're sitting. The Jets

379
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 4: look horrible.

380
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 6: There.

381
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers is throwing it to the other team through

382
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 4: three picks. Yesterday, the Dolphins are on fire.

383
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: Huh against a good Viking.

384
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: That's true, but still the Dolphins are going downhill in

385
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: a rolling dumpster fire.

386
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: And the Patriots are running right next to them.

387
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 4: And the patri there and the pain they're trying to

388
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 4: catch the Patriots going downhill. The Patriots are thinking about

389
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 4: now putting Drake may in and sacrificing him.

390
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: Which is foolish because they just lost their starting center

391
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 2: for the season David Andrews this past week.

392
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: On the worst offensive line that already.

393
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: He is the only thing they had worth their assault

394
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: up front.

395
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 4: So that that's the saving grace, you know, right now,

396
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 4: that's keeping the Bills relevant in the division. So but

397
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 4: now you're playing really the best team in the division.

398
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 4: The best other team in the division is the Jets,

399
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 4: and the Bills have a game lead on them.

400
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 2: Yep.

401
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: It's yeah, that's the only good thing. And I'll say

402
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: this too.

403
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 4: We were coming into this thing, we said, we said

404
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the show, yeah, okay, we're not

405
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: We're gonna be slow out of the gate.

406
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 3: But this is not how we thought it was.

407
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 4: Look right, we looked so good in three were okay,

408
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 4: here we go.

409
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 2: The way they looked for the first three games, they

410
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: were number one, number one scoring offense in football, number one,

411
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: number one over differential and it raised expectations, probably prematurely,

412
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 2: but we all thought, oh, they've already pulled this all together.

413
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: With all the newness on this team, maybe they'll be

414
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: even better than we anticipated. So we're learning now that

415
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: it was premature and they have a lot of things

416
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: that they have to fix right now. We are taking

417
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: your phone calls though, at eight oh three zero five

418
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five

419
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: fifty the number to get on board as we're asking

420
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: for your biggest takeaways from the bills lost to the Tecans.

421
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 2: And I have a general idea of where a lot

422
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: of these thoughts are going to go. And that's fine.

423
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: You're entitled to your opinion, so yeah, have at it.

424
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: At eight o three oh five fifty, got open lines

425
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: for you, and I see some phones ringing there, but

426
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: we'll get started here.

427
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 4: Buffalo is tied with Green Bay for number one and

428
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 4: turnover differential in the entire league. That those two, those

429
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 4: two fourth quarter turnovers. I was sitting there watching with

430
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: all the old guys and we were all calling, we

431
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 4: need to turnover so bad. Now Now we get one,

432
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 4: we get two. We got two right when they needed

433
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 4: it in the fourth quarter the sack strip fumble on

434
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 4: Stroud and their own end and then the Bernard Yep intercept,

435
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 4: the Bernard interception was spectacular.

436
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: He that that.

437
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 4: Right there is why the an illustration of why the

438
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 4: Bills need their guys healthy.

439
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: That is a.

440
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 4: Play that an experienced middle linebacker makes. Nobody else on

441
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 4: this team has the film study, the prep, or the

442
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 4: understanding to make that play that Terrell Bernard made in

443
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 4: that spot.

444
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: He saw it came.

445
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 4: Off the shallow cross, turned back and got back into

446
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 4: Straus's vision without him seeing it and was ready for it.

447
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 4: It just it was a really veteran, savvy, great play

448
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: by middle linebacker.

449
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 3: And that's why you need guys like that healthy.

450
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: Yep.

451
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 3: And you know right now the Bills are down five starters, so.

452
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: Hopefully that improves. This week, we'll have to see what

453
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 2: at Oliver's situation is with his hamstring injury. We'll see

454
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: if Taylor rap can get himself out of concussion protocol,

455
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: and we'll see if Taron Johnson is ready to finally return.

456
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: He's been out of the lineup since Week one with

457
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: a cracked bone in his forearm. So let's go to

458
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: the phones, and leading us off today is Mark in

459
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: West Seneca. What do you got for his?

460
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 3: Mark? Here?

461
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 7: On One Bill's Live, Hey, gentlemen, frustration and frustration, frustration,

462
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 7: just some general observations that I'm sure pretty obviou is

463
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 7: the Curtis Samuel situation and Mike Edwards situation not being

464
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 7: a part of this team at all up until this

465
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 7: point really really are hurting us very badly, Brownie. I

466
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 7: think I don't know if you remember, but in the

467
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 7: summer I did call you about the safety position and

468
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 7: expressed that I was very uncomfortable with where they were

469
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 7: at going into the season. If they stayed with what

470
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 7: they had, nothing against the guys they had, but I

471
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 7: didn't think it was deep enough. And you said, well,

472
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 7: we don't have the money, which was pretty obvious at

473
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 7: the time, but I was hoping Brandon would work his

474
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 7: magic and do something.

475
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was bullish on Mike Edwards Mark, if you remember,

476
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 2: and we haven't seen him yet for some reason, they

477
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 2: don't want to put him on the field.

478
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 7: I know, and that was part of why I brought

479
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 7: that up with both of Samuel and Edwards. If you

480
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 7: guys could enlighten us, if you can at all, why

481
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 7: is the situation what it is? Has Mike Edwards athletic?

482
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 7: We've fallen off the cliff not comprehending the defense, and

483
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 7: we were led to believe that he played in similar defenses,

484
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 7: so he'd be able to pick up and run right

485
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 7: from the beginning. I know he was hurt all the camp,

486
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 7: which really set him back, but by now you would

487
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 7: think he should be able to get on the field.

488
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 7: And then I'll move on a couple other things. Why

489
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 7: I mean the other thing, two tight ends. We're running

490
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 7: twelve personnel, where we always say, well, causes matchup problems

491
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 7: for the defense. Why we're running twelve personnel right now?

492
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 7: We might as well take Dawson knocks off the field

493
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 7: and put alec Anders in that.

494
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: Tight end and that sometimes and.

495
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 7: They well, I don't understand either. Okay, is Dawson what's

496
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 7: going on with him? I don't consider him a bad

497
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 7: offensive player, and in some instance is a good option.

498
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 7: He's shown he can get down the field. He's certainly

499
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 7: not a three yards up the field and turn out

500
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 7: to the sideline and toss him a short pass. He's

501
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 7: much more than that. I wanted to ask you guys

502
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 7: before the game, but I could not get on there.

503
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 5: In the week.

504
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 7: Did you think possibly they would go to something along

505
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 7: the lines of two running backs in the backfield and

506
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 7: let James Cook go in motion rather than sending him

507
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 7: out in the slot and have him stationary to run

508
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 7: receiver routes. And wouldn't he be a better option in

509
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 7: my opinion he is than even putting mvs on a field.

510
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 7: Another signing I did not like and don't understand. He's

511
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 7: not helping the team whatsoever. Okay, and last thing, and

512
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 7: then I'll shut up and I'll hang up and let

513
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 7: you guys comment this. Davante Adams, Amari Cooper talk. Please,

514
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 7: let's stop it. Please, let's stop it. Neither one of

515
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 7: those guys make us a super Bowl winner or contender.

516
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 7: In my opinion, we've got one. Two to two's a three,

517
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 7: and I believe two fours. You take two receivers for

518
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 7: defensive players, and you on the way to rebuilding your

519
00:26:54,640 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 7: defense and possibly having some offensive talent at receiver. So please,

520
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 7: and I know Brandon doesn't do it, but please do

521
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 7: not use any of those assets. Brandon, Thanks, guys.

522
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot in there, obviously.

523
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 8: Yeah.

524
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: The Mike Edwards absence from the lineup and even being

525
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 4: active on game.

526
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 3: Day is puzzling.

527
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: Was active yesterday?

528
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, because Taylor Rapp was injured. Yeah, athletically, No,

529
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 4: I think he's fine.

530
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: Athletically.

531
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 4: He was injured early in camp and we saw it,

532
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 4: and he was also nicked during the offsea.

533
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 2: He missed the entire offseason.

534
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 4: Maybe there's maybe there's some residual catching up he's still doing.

535
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 4: But this is a guy who played what maybe was

536
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 4: it ten games at the end of the season last

537
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 4: year for Kampasyan.

538
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: Cook is the starting free safety for the Kansas City Chiefs.

539
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: He had a season ending injury, I want to say

540
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: in like week nine, ten eleven, somewhere in there. Edwards

541
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 2: came in, played admirably in a very good defense, was productive.

542
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: I think he even had an interception in the playoffs.

543
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 2: He actually got hurt in the divisional playoff. He got

544
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: a concussion in the first half of the Divisional playoff

545
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 2: against the Bills. But he did come back for the

546
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: AFC Title Game and the Super Bowl and played admirably

547
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: in the back end for the Chiefs. And I saw

548
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: him as a free agency option because he was a

549
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: backup for the Chiefs. They were tight against the cap,

550
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: and I thought he would be an affordable option for

551
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: the Bill. Sure enough, they sign him, and I was

552
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: bullish on him winning the starting job, but I can

553
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: only guess that all the time he missed put him

554
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 2: behind and he's playing catchup.

555
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 3: Now.

556
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 2: Does Bishop's performance open the door a crack to give

557
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: Edwards a shot, or does Rap come back from concussion

558
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: protocol and make it a moot point this week? I

559
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: like Edwards. I think he is a more athletic safety

560
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: than Damar Hamlin. I think he's a more anticipatory player

561
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: than Damar Hamlin. Nothing against Damar, but that's just my

562
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: opinion of Mike edwards skill set. So I don't know.

563
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: We'll have to see where it goes and what the

564
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: coaches decide. They watch these guys every day, every snap

565
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: in practice. I don't have that ability to do because

566
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: I'm usually in here doing the show with Steve Right.

567
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 4: And I'll say this too, I'll leave Brownie's evaluation of

568
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 4: Edwards alone that he's he knows as much as I

569
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 4: do about it. The two tight end the twelve people

570
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 4: with Knox. I'll say this on the Kinkaid. They do

571
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 4: have some stuff going on with this twelve personnel. The

572
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 4: problem is, I mean Knox when they're in twelve personnel.

573
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 4: Kinkaid is always the one option, right because in the

574
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 4: passing game anyway, right.

575
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: But that's not I'll say that Knox couldn't be an option. Also,

576
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: if you.

577
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 4: Look back at the Kinkaid twenty six yard of that

578
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 4: he got him down inside the five late in the game,

579
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 4: there's a really nice play Josh found him.

580
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 3: Dawson. Knox is alone down the left sideline, yep. Alone.

581
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 4: If Josh sees it, it's a touchdown. He didn't, So

582
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 4: it's not like Knox is irrelevant out there, but he's

583
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 4: not at the top of the pecking orders. You can

584
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 4: imagine it'll be Khalis Shakir when he's out there and Kinkate.

585
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: Let's Cook. Let's think about this though, Steve.

586
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 4: Okay, But on the plays like that, it's up to

587
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 4: Josh to you know, when they scheme it open, it's

588
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 4: up to the QB to get it there and take advantage.

589
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 2: Yes, I said this when I was on This Morning

590
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: with Jeremy and Joe on WGR here in Buffalo this morning.

591
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: James Cook has to be a featured weapon in your

592
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: passing game. He is the most dynamic athlete on offense

593
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: on the roster besides Josh Allen, and Josh is back

594
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: there throwing it. So James Cook, I agree with Mark

595
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, should be featured in this passing game.

596
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 2: He can get separation and look, I know he's had

597
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: a couple of drops here and there over the last

598
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: couple of years. He is your most dynamic route running weapon.

599
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: Along with Khalil Shakir. Those are your two best route

600
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: running weapons in the passing He has to be featured

601
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 2: in the passing game more going forward, and the pecking

602
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: order should really And look, what you're trying to discover

603
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: here in your passing game is familiarity and continuity to

604
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: get back on track because you are way off track

605
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: right now. There is it's so disjointed. It was so

606
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: disjointed yesterday, I mean three or fourteen on third down.

607
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: So who is who represents continuity in the passing game?

608
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 2: James Cook, Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kinkaid, and Dawson Knox. Do

609
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: people forget he was a nine touchdown tight end three

610
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: years ago?

611
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean yeah, And.

612
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 2: There is something to be said for familiar targets for Josh.

613
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: Those guys should be getting more of the snap count

614
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: share going forward to try to get this passing game

615
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: back on track.

616
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 4: And here's the thing too, it doesn't have to always

617
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 4: be Cook, Shakir, Kinkaid, Knox. It could be Shakiir Knox.

618
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 4: It could be Shakir Cook, Kincaid. Now it can be

619
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 4: in any order you But those are the four guys

620
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: you're gonna lean on heavily. And I agree with Brownie,

621
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 4: you've got to get that out there. The guy the

622
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 4: target share. Obviously, when you when you're nine, when you're

623
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 4: nine for thirty, you twenty one incompletions on the day.

624
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: That's just to paint the picture. Snoop Huntley for the

625
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: Dolphins was eighteen of thirty four and Jacoby Brissette was

626
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: eighteen of thirty one. Yesterday in the fifteen to ten games,

627
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: they had twice the number of completions. And you're gonna

628
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: tell me that Jacoby Brissette has better people to throw

629
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: to than the Bills. Yeah, no way.

630
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 3: I'll say this too.

631
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: You know, when you talk about Davante Adams, a Mari

632
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 4: Coop and all these trade for a big, big, bad

633
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 4: wide receiver and getting to spend the money, spend the castle,

634
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 4: get to get him. Here's the thing I I still

635
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: and I know this is a really unpopular opinion today.

636
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 4: I still believe in this group. But I'll say this.

637
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 4: They gotta be healthy. They got to have shak out there,

638
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 4: and the offensive line's got to play a little better

639
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 4: up front.

640
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 3: The decisions.

641
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 4: Yes, if you had if you had Jamar Chase, and

642
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 4: you had you know the guy from Houston that we

643
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 4: saw just yesterday, who's the big time receiver from Houston, Nicolete.

644
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 4: If you had Nico Collins and Jamar Chase out here,

645
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 4: Yeah you know t Higgins or Yeah, you're gonna play

646
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 4: you'd love to have those guys. It's not gonna happen.

647
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 4: I still have I still have faith in the guys

648
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 4: they got in the room. But they've got to have

649
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 4: pass protection and they got to be healthy. Every guy

650
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 4: out there, Shakir, Kincaid, Knox, Cook, Coleman, they've all got

651
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 4: to be out there. If if you take one of

652
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 4: those guys out there, it's a significant drop. And the

653
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 4: pass protection's got to be one hundred percent all the time.

654
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 3: If that that none of that was there yesterday.

655
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 4: They weren't healthy and their past protection suffered yesterday, and

656
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: and you got a performance like you did. But that's

657
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 4: what it's gonna take this year.

658
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: Break time for us. Here more of your phone calls

659
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: when we come back on a Buffalo Football Monday here

660
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live, presented by Colidea Health, It's Buffalo

661
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:25,479
Speaker 2: Bills Radio, all right. This week's Player of the Game

662
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 2: is Bill's defensive tackle Dwayne Carter. Had three tackles against

663
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 2: the Texans, two for loss, along with a quarterback hit.

664
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 2: Player of the Game is presented by Wegmans, the official

665
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 2: tailgate headquarters of the Buffalo Bills. Get your Dion Dawkins

666
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo Snow Crunch serial exclusively at Wegmans while supplies last.

667
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: A portion of the proceeds will benefit Dion's Dreamers, an

668
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: official foundation of Dion Dawkins. I mean that play there

669
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: when he tackled Acres coming out of the backfield on

670
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 2: a checkdown. If he doesn't make that tackle, it's a

671
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 2: fifty yard play. There was nobody after Dwayne Martin because

672
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 2: the Bills actually, I think had a man coverage call there.

673
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 2: Everybody's backs turned, they're all running down the field, and

674
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: that would have been like a fifty yard catch and run.

675
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 2: If Dwayne Carter didn't make that tackle, but I know

676
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 2: he only had three tackles. It felt like he had

677
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: a bigger impact on the game than that. I was

678
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: stunned to see he was only credited with three tackles.

679
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: I thought he did even more than that.

680
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 3: And here's the thing.

681
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: Really had a nice encouraging game. That's a rookie there.

682
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 2: I played really heady football.

683
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: I saw also, my guy Javon Solomon ran the running

684
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 4: back down from behind a lad in the game just

685
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 4: to prevent a first down and ended up getting the

686
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 4: ball back later on.

687
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 3: Here's the thing.

688
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 4: I yes, I am as down as everybody is about

689
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 4: the game yesterday. Somebody reminded me on social we always

690
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 4: say it, and it was true yesterday. The Bills don't

691
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 4: get beat they beat themselves. Yep, And man do we

692
00:35:54,760 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 4: all agree on that today. But I do feel some

693
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 4: guys on this team are You're starting to because of

694
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 4: the injuries and because of the you know, they're getting

695
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 4: guys on the field. I know that the reps are

696
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 4: gonna help guys like Cole Bishop. He's not gonna play

697
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 4: like that for the rest of his career. That guy's

698
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 4: gonna get better and better and better.

699
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: It's gonna be some hard lessons and yeah there are.

700
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 3: And we saw him yesterday, right.

701
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, three miss tackles and a blown coverage.

702
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 4: Right, So then you and you got you know, you've

703
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 4: got guys like Terrell Bernard getting back on the field

704
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 4: making some plays like he did, Guys like Carter coming

705
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 4: in and just you know, starting to play, Javon Solomon

706
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 4: starting to play.

707
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 2: I wrote solid performers. Here's the list, Cook Bernard, Dorian

708
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 2: Williams who's played out of his mind in the last

709
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 2: three weeks, Dwayne Carter Smoot Yeah, and Sam Martin had

710
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 2: a day. Sam Martin flipped the field several times when

711
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 2: the offense was stuck in neutral.

712
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 4: And I'll say this, so there's I still have I

713
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 4: know where the wheelhouse of his coaching staff is.

714
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 3: I know this too.

715
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 4: They're gonna get hammered, you know, And there's gonna be

716
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 4: a ton of snarky comments about how they handle the

717
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: end of the game.

718
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 3: And I get it.

719
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 4: But the one thing they have done always is develop players.

720
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 4: So with the with the injuries that we've had and

721
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 4: the and the start they got off to this season,

722
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 4: I think by the end, I'm still very bullish on

723
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 4: what this team's gonna be able to do.

724
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 3: This is kind of and it's hard for.

725
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 4: Me to say it like this because it sounds like

726
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 4: crazy after that game yesterday. But I still think this

727
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 4: team's got a chance to be really good at the

728
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 4: end of the season.

729
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

730
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 4: They certainly got some stuff to fix. But these bumps

731
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 4: and these games like this going forward are gonna gonna

732
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 4: yield benefits for these young players going forward, and they're

733
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 4: gonna learn from it. They're gonna conversations the best. The

734
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 4: time when players get best is when they go out

735
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 4: and they play. And then they've got some coaches in

736
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 4: which these coaches seem to be really good at going

737
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 4: back and saying, hey, what were you thinking here? Why

738
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 4: were you thinking that? Get your mind right, You should

739
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 4: be thinking this for this reason.

740
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: Guys.

741
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 4: Soak that stuff up and those are lessons that really

742
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 4: stick with you and they put you in different.

743
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: Positions for yeah, especially after losses.

744
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm still I still feel really good about

745
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 4: this team, this particular group, this particular version of the

746
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills going forward. They got some stuff to fix,

747
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 4: no question about it. And that goes you know, coaching staff,

748
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 4: all the whole thing. But I want to see him

749
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 4: get healthy and I want to see him. I want

750
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,919
Speaker 4: to see him play, and there's no quaint. You gotta

751
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 4: play better, Yeah, gotta play better. But I think they will.

752
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 4: I think they will because we've seen him play better

753
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 4: than this, even earlier in this season. So you know,

754
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 4: whatever step backwards they've taken, they got to they got

755
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 4: to gather it up and get them pushed in the

756
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 4: right direction. I think the coaching staff will do that.

757
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 4: But I still think there's some there's a lot under

758
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 4: the hood in on both sides of this offense and defense.

759
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 4: But man, oh man, first and foremost, please just get healthy.

760
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones and to John and

761
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 2: Niagara Falls.

762
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 9: What do you got, John, Yeah, I just tuned in

763
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 9: and I was wondering if there's any update on Josh Allen,

764
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 9: what injury it was, and how's he doing.

765
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said after the game that he hit his

766
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: shoulder and rolled his ankle on that hit that he took.

767
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: He passed the independent Neurological consultant exam for you know,

768
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 2: a head injury because he hit his head on the

769
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: turf too. I mean, we won't get an update until

770
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 2: Sean McDermot addresses the media at four o'clock this afternoon.

771
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 2: So that's kind of where it stands. Yeah, so that's

772
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: kind of where we're at. Let's go to Tommy on

773
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 2: the west side. Let me pull him up here. What

774
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: do you got for us? Tommy?

775
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, how are you good?

776
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 11: Yeah?

777
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 10: I know we've all had better Mondays. So why do

778
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 10: we keep abandoning our run game in the first half.

779
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 10: I mean, I understand Josh is one of the most

780
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 10: dynamic players with the ball in his hand, but I

781
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 10: think James Cook is pretty much proven that he is.

782
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 11: Also, it's not.

783
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 12: The number two most dynamic player with the ball in

784
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 12: his hand on our whole team. I just we keep

785
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 12: getting away from the run and it's just it seems

786
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 12: like it's not. The whole point of our run game

787
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 12: was to open up the middle of the field for

788
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 12: Kink to go run streaks or SATs or anything up

789
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 12: the middle and open it up because they have to

790
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 12: pack the box on us. And when we get away

791
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 12: from that, all those options seem to be taken away.

792
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 12: I know you guys feel similar, but I just think

793
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 12: it's glaring at us that we just need to get Cook.

794
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 13: The ball more.

795
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I respect what you're saying, Tommy. Just looking at

796
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: the numbers at halftime, the Bills threw at eighteen times,

797
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 2: Cook ran it eleven times. They had thirteen total carries,

798
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: counting a ten yard scramble by Alan and Curtis Samuel

799
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 2: with a loss of one yard on a carry. So

800
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 2: thirteen runs, eighteen passes. To me, that's not abandoning the run,

801
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 2: you know. And at the end of the game, where

802
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 2: are they. I mean, I know they threw late in

803
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 2: the game, but there are twenty eight runs and thirty

804
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: pass attempts. I mean, that's not abandoning the run. With

805
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 2: all due respect.

806
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 3: Well, I say this too.

807
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 4: And maybe late in the first half they did, you

808
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 4: know they were they were down twenty to three. Yeah,

809
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 4: so you know, you can you can forgive them if

810
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 4: they feel like they're a little bit of a sense

811
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 4: of urgency to move the ball a little quicker than

812
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 4: they did. Certainly that that first drive after halftime, they

813
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 4: got a nineteen yard run right.

814
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 3: Out of the gate.

815
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 4: Then they got the big play to to Kincaid over

816
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 4: the middle for twenty They got a nineteen yard run

817
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 4: and twenty six yard pass to Kincaid and there was

818
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 4: another one in there as well somewhere, so you know

819
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 4: they had to they were trying to they were trying

820
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 4: to move it quick to get back in the game

821
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 4: before halftime a little bit. So I can get that.

822
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: But you're right.

823
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 4: The running game has been a crucial part of their

824
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 4: success this year offensively, and they they do need to

825
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 4: stay with it as much as they can.

826
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 2: Let's squeeze Mike and Mississippian here before we go to

827
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 2: break hold on. What do you got for us?

828
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 3: Mike?

829
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 14: Hey, well, I wanted to ask, Oh boy, I almost

830
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 14: ran a red light and sorry about that. I was

831
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 14: gonna ask Steve if he remembered. I'm sure he does.

832
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 14: The nineteen ninety two season where we started out like Gangbusters,

833
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 14: four games, thirty plus points a game, and then we

834
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 14: got trounced by Miami thirty seven to ten. Then we

835
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 14: lost the next week. How do you what did the

836
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 14: Bills do at that time in the locker room to

837
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 14: turn that around? And are there lessons from that that

838
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 14: this team could learn from?

839
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 2: All right, good question, man, Thanks for it. Drive safely please.

840
00:42:54,080 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 3: Nineteen ninety two. You got me, bro, I can't.

841
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: Go back generally speaking, bouncing back from like back to

842
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 2: back gasses, which this team has done very good at

843
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: the last five.

844
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 4: But nobody wants to Nobody wants to hear the answer.

845
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 4: I'm you know, to tell you the truth. Nobody really

846
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 4: wants to hear the answer to that because it's pretty

847
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 4: mundane and boring.

848
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 2: You gotta go to work, well, and that's exactly what

849
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 2: Josh said after the game. You just got to go

850
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 2: back to work.

851
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 4: You gotta you gotta go back and say, is there

852
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 4: something that's that Is there one thing that has been

853
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 4: our bugaboo? Have we not pass protected? Have we not

854
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 4: run blocked? Have we not gotten enough turnovers? Have we

855
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 4: not stopped their run? Have we not stopped their pass?

856
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 4: Have we turned the ball over too much? If there's

857
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 4: if there's a generalized one thing or two things that

858
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 4: are bugging you or that is causing you to play poorly, yeah,

859
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 4: fix those. But for the most part, it's going in

860
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 4: and looking at yourself and saying, listen, what like For instance,

861
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 4: we talked about this early in the show. If you've

862
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 4: got to coaching staff in a last couple of games

863
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 4: out of the gate, we've done nothing offensively and nothing defensively.

864
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 4: Our game plans out of the gate have not been good.

865
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 4: We have not had early success. Let's see what we

866
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 4: can do to fix that and then not stick ourselves

867
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 4: into a hole. That may be one thing they could do,

868
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 4: and that's on the coaching staff and stuff. But then

869
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 4: also the players are looking to themselves going, listen, we

870
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 4: got to tighten this up. What mental mistakes are we making,

871
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 4: Let's not make those this week. Let's make sure we're

872
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 4: buttoned up. I mean, it's a mundane thing. You gotta

873
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 4: go back to work and work harder and do what

874
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 4: you do better. Nobody wants to hear that because it's

875
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 4: not very sexy, but it's that really that simple.

876
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 2: Now break time for us here when we come back,

877
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls here on a Buffalo Football

878
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: Monday on One Bill's Live, presented by Klidea Health. It's

879
00:44:46,160 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills Radio. The Numbers that Matter, presented by the

880
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 2: New York Lottery backing the bills sounds grande like the

881
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 2: new Grande scratch off games from the New York Lottery

882
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 2: giving you a chance to strut the red carpet at

883
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 2: Billboard Latin Music Week. Gambling problem called one eight, seven,

884
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 2: seven eight, hope and why. In the third quarter against

885
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 2: the Texans, facing a fourth and five, Bill's wide receiver

886
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 2: key On Coleman had a career long forty nine yard touchdown.

887
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 2: This play marked the team's longest play on fourth down

888
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 2: since New Year's Eve of two thousand and six went

889
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 2: against the Patriots. No, it was against the Ravens. JP

890
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 2: Lossman threw one to Lee Evans for fifty two yards.

891
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 3: There you go.

892
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 2: It was a big fourth down play.

893
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 4: It's exactly what they needed at the time they needed it.

894
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 4: The fourth going forward on fourth and five was to me,

895
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 4: it was ultra aggressive and uh, you know they showed

896
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 4: this on that I thought for a minute they were

897
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 4: gonna call it back and say out of bounce. But

898
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 4: his heeled they say, never came down, never touched the ground,

899
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 4: and I get it. The razor's edge. Yeah, it was

900
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 4: the razor's edge. And you know that's neither here nor

901
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 4: there now, but there he goes it was. It was

902
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 4: a great, great throw and catch. The ball came out

903
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 4: on time, and I'm yeah, it's a It's just a

904
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 4: disappointing result to a game where the Bills were down

905
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,919
Speaker 4: twenty to three. Think how differently everybody would feel, if,

906
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 4: you know, if they win that game after being down

907
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 4: twenty three.

908
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 2: Happy for Keon though he had about sixty family and

909
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 2: friends at that game. That's probably the closest game to

910
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 2: his home in Opalassus, Louisiana, and they drove in. His

911
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 2: mom was there, his agent was there, and sixty of

912
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 2: his closest family and friends were there. So nice that

913
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: he got a touchdown, just unfortunately they didn't get to win.

914
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones, though, and to Kevin

915
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 2: in Hamburg next, what do you got for us? Kevin?

916
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 15: Thanks for taking I don't want to beat the time

917
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 15: management dead horse, so I'll say that right away because

918
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 15: I'm sure it's going to be beating the rest of

919
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 15: the next couple of days until you start getting ready

920
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 15: for the jet game. But the thing that's frustrating isn't

921
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 15: so much to the mistakes it's made, is that John

922
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 15: McDermott has been to coach this team the eighth year

923
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 15: and he's still making the side of time management blunders

924
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 15: that he should have made maybe the first year we

925
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 15: slaved the drought dragon. And yet the other coach this

926
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 15: is his first year. Now the Bills would have won

927
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 15: that game. The Texas said, well, he's not used to that.

928
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 15: Even he's only his first year. He should be making

929
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 15: an eighth year is a little bit. He's the saying,

930
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 15: I'm sure someone agreed, that's a little bit too long

931
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 15: to make those kind of bad blunders at the end

932
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 15: of a game in eight years that he should have

933
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 15: only made maybe first, second, third, and maybe fourth year.

934
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 15: That's the worst. It's just like, I don't know why

935
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 15: he just keeps getting not worse, but not much better.

936
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, get what you're saying, Kevin, thanks for the call.

937
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 2: You're not wrong. I mean I know that Sewn McDermott

938
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: as a head coach, prides himself on getting better because

939
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 2: he practiced what he practices what he preaches, which is

940
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 2: try to be your best self, you know, while you're

941
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 2: in a role here with the Bills organization, and he

942
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 2: follows that to the letter himself. He constantly, painstaking Lee

943
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: methodically reviews his own performance as much as anybody else's

944
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: inside this building, and he strives to get better because

945
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 2: he knows how important his role is to team success.

946
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 2: Didn't happen yesterday. He put his full faith in his

947
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator and his quarterback to be aggressive at a

948
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: time late in the game, and neither of them came

949
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 2: through for him. Now, that's ultimately on him because he

950
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 2: made the decision to trust those men. But there it is.

951
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 2: You're the head coach, it does fall on you. And

952
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 2: to his credit, he took the blame.

953
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's he's got That's what you sign up

954
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 4: for as a head coach as part of the job.

955
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 3: I get it, and you know, and.

956
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 4: When the players and I'll say that, and I don't

957
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 4: really want to talk about it too much.

958
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of people know.

959
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 4: I watched the game yesterday with Marv Levy and Thurman

960
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 4: Thomas and Darryl Talley and Jim Kelly and Corneis Bennett.

961
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 2: Uh.

962
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 4: We all watched the game together in Chicago with Marv

963
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 4: and Man watching it with those guys. Uh, they're the same.

964
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 4: And it's interesting too. They they're kind of like me.

965
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 4: They're very hesitant and almost never never blame the coaching

966
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 4: stats for what's going on on the field. They're always

967
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 4: like the play. They're always putting it on the players

968
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 4: like we were. And UH, and certainly there's room for both.

969
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

970
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 4: If the player the players can play a bad head

971
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 4: coach out of a bad decision, no question about it.

972
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 3: It always is.

973
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 4: And a coach can help his players and put them

974
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 4: in a position to be better.

975
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 3: Uh.

976
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 4: It just seems like and a lot of the and

977
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 4: the losses where the Bills had not so much. The

978
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 4: Baltimore lost this year, of course, that that was a beatdown,

979
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 4: But games like this and all the games we've talked

980
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 4: over that forty three game stretch where they never lost

981
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 4: by more than six points, you just never see enough

982
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 4: of one group bailing out the other, the coaches not

983
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 4: bailing the players out, and the players not bailing the

984
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 4: coaches out. Whether one depends on the other or the

985
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 4: other depends on the one. It just doesn't happen in

986
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 4: those games. The Bills when they lose, particularly these games

987
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 4: like we've seen over the last four years, they lose

988
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 4: by six points or less, they do it to themselves.

989
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 4: And man, oh man, it's tiresome, right And we have

990
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 4: how many remember the Minnesota game where it was that

991
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 4: Cam Lewis on the fourth and twenty three, fourth and eighteen,

992
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 4: he almost helps Justin Jefferson.

993
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 2: Forget the snap on the goal line that was fumbled.

994
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 3: And the snap on the goal line that is fumbled.

995
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 4: I mean, ah, those you know, that's you know, all

996
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 4: you gotta, all you needed was a snap, a quarterback

997
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 4: sneak for no gain and you win the game and

998
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:10,240
Speaker 4: we end up losing the game.

999
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 3: It's just absolutely.

1000
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 4: Mind boggling how often the Bills help other teams beat them.

1001
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 4: And this is just it seems like there's another instant.

1002
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 2: Very often because yeah, they went out. I'm just gonna

1003
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: say this too, not for nothing. I mean, you're spending

1004
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 2: the weekend with Marv Levy. Sean McDermott is the winningest

1005
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 2: coach in Bill's history in terms of winning percentage.

1006
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean he wins.

1007
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that too.

1008
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 3: There's that. Sorry, there's that.

1009
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm just stating the fact there's that.

1010
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 4: But that's that's where we're at. And man oh man,

1011
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 4: that's why these losses. Well, actually run a poll. Is

1012
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 4: it better to lose to the Baltimore Ravens by twenty

1013
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 4: five or go through this?

1014
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, we gotta take a break here. When

1015
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 2: we come back, we're gonna be joined by my broadcast

1016
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 2: partner on the Bills Radio network, Eric Wood is going

1017

Speaker 2: after back to back losses. Eric would coming your way

1020

1022
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

1023
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 2: All right, our number two here on a Buffalo Football Monday,

1024
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and join now by

1025
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 2: the radio color analyst on the Bills Radio Network, former

1026
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 2: Bills Center and host of the Center on Buffalo podcast.

1027
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 2: It's Eric Wood joining us here as he does after

1028
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:18,479
Speaker 2: every game day. Eric, I kind of leave it open

1029
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 2: to you in terms of where you want to start here,

1030
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 2: but I think we'd be remiss because I know a

1031
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 2: lot of the subject matter is going to be on

1032
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 2: the handling of the end of the game. But the

1033
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 2: defensive effort in the second half was nothing short of impressive.

1034
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 2: I mean they get a turnover on downs to take

1035
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 2: points off the board by the Texans, and then the

1036
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 2: two takeaways in the fourth quarter.

1037
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 13: Yeah, I like starting on a positive here, and I

1038
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 13: was impressed with the defense outside of you know, maybe

1039
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 13: the second, third, fourth drive of the game. I thought

1040
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 13: they really adjusted well, and look, this is a defense

1041
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 13: that's banged up. They are out with a number of guys.

1042
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 13: You know, you hit the huge play to Nico Collins.

1043
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 13: I'm not exactly sure what happens there, but it sure

1044
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 13: looks like maybe Cole Bishop getting his first start should

1045
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 13: have been over the top. And so you have these

1046
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 13: mistakes and blunders, but then they really settled into their roles,

1047
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 13: and you know, getting a guy like Trel Bernard back

1048
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 13: is huge. We saw the fourth and one stop where

1049
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 13: he goes over the top, the stuff the running back

1050
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 13: in the backyard. There was nice penetration there as well,

1051
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 13: but throw Bernard's a playmaker. He goes over the top.

1052
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 13: You know, a lot of guys aren't even going to

1053
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 13: try that one. And then the interception he makes being

1054
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 13: able to ride the tight end Schultz go back and

1055
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 13: intercept the ball trying to get at the digs. I mean,

1056
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 13: there's just not a ton of linebackers in the NFL

1057
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 13: that can make plays like that. So you get him back,

1058
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 13: which helps a lot. And then with that Oliver out,

1059
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 13: you're thinking, Okay, can Dwayne Carter make some plays? You know,

1060
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 13: is he going to be at Oliver? You know, not

1061
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 13: at this point, but can he make some plays out there?

1062
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,879
Speaker 13: He sniffs out the first screen pass of the game,

1063
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 13: which was a point of emphesis after last week from

1064
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 13: Sean McDermott and his press conference, and then he was

1065
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 13: able to make a few nice plays throughout the game.

1066
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 13: I was impressed with him flash at times. And then

1067
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 13: Dorian Williams week after week. He seems to be getting

1068
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 13: better and better. And there was other individual efforts, you know, Rasull,

1069
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 13: Douglas and christ and Benford both had a tackle for

1070
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 13: loss in this game. Seemed like the edge pressure and

1071
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 13: the pass rushing generally especial in the second half, did

1072
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 13: a nice job for those watching the Dwan smooth forced fumble,

1073
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 13: big time play. So there was some great individual efforts,

1074
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 13: especially on the defense side of the football in the

1075
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 13: second half.

1076
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and let's talk a little bit about why it

1077
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 4: has taken like for instance, in the Baltimore game and

1078
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,760
Speaker 4: then also in the Arizona game, it's taken the defense

1079
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 4: finally a minute to get it going. I mean, the

1080
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 4: Bills were down twenty to three in this one. They

1081
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 4: were down seventeen to three against Arizona. Obviously, Baltimore jumped

1082
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 4: out to a big league how you know, and offensively

1083
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 4: same thing. They came back from a big deficit in

1084
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 4: are against Arizona. They came back from this deficit last

1085
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,879
Speaker 4: week and tied it this last game yesterday and tied

1086
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 4: it up.

1087
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 3: You know, what can what do you tell?

1088
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 11: You know?

1089
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 4: How do you manage coaching staff? Say, listen, we got

1090
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 4: to get better, We got to be better coming out

1091
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 4: of the shoot. Our game plans are not working early

1092
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 4: in these games. Is taking us a minute defined ourselves?

1093
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 3: What are the issues there?

1094
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's hard to tell if it's schematic or if

1095
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 13: it's simply individual breakdowns. Now, we talked about before the

1096
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 13: season that this could be a slower start to the

1097
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 13: defense just because of all the different pieces that were

1098
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 13: gonna have on the defensive side of the football. Well,

1099
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 13: when you're inexperienced, and Steve I know you know this

1100
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 13: and Chris from following the game for so long, inexperienced

1101
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 13: teams generally start slower in games. They just don't have

1102
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 13: as much experience. The game feels fast to them at

1103
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 13: the start. I talked to that within my own career.

1104
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 13: Towards the end of my career, I felt like, you know,

1105
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 13: the beginning of the game was just you know, routine

1106
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 13: at this point and earlier in my career, I felt

1107
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 13: like there was almost a touch of an adjustment with

1108
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 13: each and every game going into it. And so you

1109
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 13: know that that could be part of what's costing this defense.

1110
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 13: You know, the safeties maybe starting a little bit slow.

1111
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 13: These you know, new linebackers that have been in with

1112
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 13: the different injuries and different guys that have had to

1113
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 13: play on this defense. A cam Lewis, who's getting much

1114
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 13: more starting reps this year, filling in for Arren Johnson.

1115
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 13: So I think that's part of it. And then you know,

1116
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 13: you look at your game plan. Here are we maybe

1117
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 13: two conservative early and then okay, now we're backs against

1118
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 13: the ball. Now we're being more aggressive. And I'm just

1119
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 13: throwing that out there. I don't know that to be

1120
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 13: a fact.

1121
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 3: All right.

1122
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 4: Also, too, they got five starters out from on defense

1123
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 4: playing on defense, so that might tend to give you

1124
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 4: a slow start, all right.

1125
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 2: So looking at the offense now, after five games, they're

1126
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 2: in the bottom third in passing. They're now averaging one

1127
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty one passing yards a game. I mean,

1128
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 2: that is a kneemic by a Josh Allen led team

1129
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 2: standards twenty fourth and first downs per game twenty fifth

1130
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 2: and third down conversion percentage, a place where they led

1131
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 2: the league each of the last two years. It's down

1132
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 2: to thirty two conversion rate. These are the primary issues

1133
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 2: where they rank very low in the league. Now, after

1134
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 2: five games, how do you go about correcting what's kind

1135
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 2: of hit the Bills in the teeth the last two

1136
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 2: weeks offensively?

1137
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, third downs is definitely an issue. When you look

1138
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 13: at the passing numbers, you know, two weeks over, you're saying, well,

1139
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 13: those are skewed because you know we had two blowout wins.

1140
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 16: We didn't have to run the football.

1141
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 13: Okay, Well, now it's getting back to a normal it's

1142
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 13: getting back to normalcy where okay, we have five games,

1143
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 13: only two of those were blowouts. You know, what's what's

1144
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 13: going on with the passing game? And when when I

1145
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 13: look at it, to me, when you look at these

1146
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,439
Speaker 13: last two games. Baltimore came over with a game plan

1147
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 13: and simply said, I don't think if we put pressure

1148
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 13: on Josh, if we can try confused, then we'll put.

1149
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 16: Guys all over the line of scrimmage.

1150
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 13: You know, you try and guess who's coming that's going

1151
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 13: to expose the second and third level of your defense,

1152
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 13: So you got to play play man behind it. And

1153
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 13: they're saying you can't separate in time before we get

1154
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 13: free rushers. Okay, well, Houston copies that game plan as well.

1155
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 13: So is it you know, understanding of at the receiver position,

1156
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 13: understanding what you have to do and how quick you

1157
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 13: have to win? Is it you know, a lack of

1158
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 13: talent out there where they aren't able to get that

1159
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 13: separation or is it scheme? And that's what the Bills

1160
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 13: have to examine right now, because if I'm prepping for

1161
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 13: the Buffalo Bills after these last two games, I'm saying, Okay, well,

1162
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 13: I'm gonna take some chances in this one, and you

1163
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 13: know what, I might get beat for a forty nine

1164
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 13: yard touchdown to Keon Coleman.

1165
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 16: That might happen.

1166
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 13: You have a cover zero blitz, and that might happen

1167
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 13: once a game, but we're gonna, you know, force you

1168
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 13: to be extremely low on third down conversion percentage. We're

1169
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 13: gonna get you off the field, and we're willing to

1170
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 13: give up that one if we can get a bunch

1171
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:53,720
Speaker 13: of other stops.

1172
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would expect the Jets to take the same approach.

1173
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you're playing at home, Blitz the heck out

1174
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 2: of them and see if they can fix it, because

1175
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 2: they haven't after two games, is yeah.

1176
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 4: And how concerned are you about the upfront the pass

1177
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 4: protection of the Bills. I certainly, you know, we've seen

1178
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 4: Josh leave a little early when he didn't need to,

1179
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 4: but that's probably he's starting to get trained by his

1180
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 4: own internal clock.

1181
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 13: You know, I'm still not overly concerned about this offensive

1182
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 13: line in any way, shape or form. I think they've

1183
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 13: done a great job in a run game, and then

1184
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 13: has there been some breakdowns up front, especially on the

1185
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 13: interior at times. Of course, I think the biggest issues

1186
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,479
Speaker 13: that have in pass protection right now are at times

1187
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 13: you get these free rushers and you know, yesterday there

1188
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 13: was one with Ray Davis in the game where it

1189
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 13: seemed like Josh thought that Ray Davis was going to

1190
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 13: pick up the guy on the backside, or if that

1191
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 13: guy comes, you just replace him with the football, which

1192
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 13: we saw Houston due to us twice for first downs

1193
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 13: of the game. And so it just seems like whether

1194
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 13: it's communication issues up front or with Josh or with

1195
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,479
Speaker 13: the backs of the receivers. It seems like the free

1196
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 13: runners are the biggest issue with the pass protection, not

1197
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 13: necessarily the individual breakdowns up front.

1198
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 2: Right because he was pressured on fifteen to thirty four

1199
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 2: dropbacks against the Ravens last week. I don't think there

1200
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 2: were as many free rushers this time this week, So

1201
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 2: maybe they corrected some of those things and reduce the number.

1202
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, you're if you're the Jets, you're

1203
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 2: probably trying to find some of those kinds of plays

1204
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 2: that you think might work for your guys when it

1205
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: comes to.

1206
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 16: And then real quick, real quick, real quick.

1207
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 13: And then also what affects O line play and pass

1208
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 13: protection is being down multiple scores of games. Now, you

1209
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 13: control that yourself, that's the bed you made. But when

1210
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 13: you're down multiple scores, teams want to get really exotic

1211
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 13: with the looks that they give you. They're willing to

1212
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 13: take a few more chances. And the defensive line and

1213
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 13: knows at all times, you know, we don't really care

1214
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 13: about giving up a seven yard run right now, We

1215
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 13: just can't. You know, We're going to go try and

1216
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 13: te uf on the quarterback. And so I think that's

1217
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 13: that's played a big factor.

1218
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 2: These last couple to mention the fact that yesterday the

1219
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 2: Bills on average were in third and seven or more

1220
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 2: on average in yesterday's game, And yeah, that's gonna compromise

1221
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 2: the protection too. As far as the passing game, though,

1222
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 2: I'm curious for your thoughts on this, Eric, continuity and

1223
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 2: reliability is what you're seeking right now in the passing

1224
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 2: game for the Bills going forward. Hopefully Shaki is back

1225
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 2: the highest catch rate player in the league. That would

1226
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 2: certainly help. But if you're looking for continuity, in my estimation,

1227
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 2: I think you have to feature James Cook in the

1228
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 2: passing game more. You have to feature Kinkaid in the

1229
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 2: passing game more. And I would even throw Dalton Dawson

1230
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 2: Knox in there as a fourth option because these are

1231
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 2: guys that have played the most with Josh Allen going forward.

1232
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, sorry, I have I put my computer on mute.

1233
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 13: I had a dog barking out here. But anyways, uh, yeah,

1234
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 13: I mean, you gotta get dal kink going. This has

1235
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 13: been a disappointing second season for him. You know you're

1236
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 13: gonna get some splash plays from Keion Coleman, but can

1237
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 13: you get him more involved how can you get Curtis

1238
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 13: Samuel some catches down the field, which will then open

1239
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 13: up some of those screens and quick hitters that you're

1240
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 13: trying to get him almost exclusively right now. And then yeah,

1241
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 13: obviously getting kleioshak Heir back will help. And then yeah,

1242
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 13: Dawson Knox has been fairly invisible this year?

1243
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 16: Can he be an option?

1244
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 13: Because you know, we could talk all we want about

1245
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 13: who can we bring in? Or you know, is Devonte

1246
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 13: Adams or Amari Cooper? Well, you know that's likely a

1247
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 13: long shot. So how do you make the most of

1248
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 13: what you have on this roster right now? And I

1249
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 13: don't think it's far feest to say that, you know,

1250
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 13: what we saw in the first few weeks can get

1251
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 13: it done. Now you're gonna have to evolve as the

1252
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 13: season goes on. And you know, these last couple of weeks,

1253
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 13: they've gotten exposed, and it seems like it they've gotten

1254
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 13: exposed with not being able to beat Manavan defense.

1255
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 3: And I was going to ask you that as well.

1256
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 4: You know, we saw in the first three weeks some

1257
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 4: pretty pretty shiny stuff and you know, they're they're throwing

1258
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 4: thirty points on the board and you know all this

1259
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 4: stuff's going on this five And we were talking too

1260
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 4: in the big picture of three and two kind of

1261
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 4: when we got into there with all these new players

1262
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 4: and the turnover three and two is kind of where

1263
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 4: we thought we would be.

1264
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:16,920
Speaker 3: But man Oman, I.

1265
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 4: Didn't think it was gonna look like this, right, I

1266
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 4: thought it would be the other way.

1267
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 3: You'd flip it upside down.

1268
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 4: You look like this in the first two weeks, and

1269
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 4: then the next three weeks you start to get it together.

1270
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 3: What how hike?

1271
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I know, yesterday is like a r you

1272
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 4: know it, Yeah, it was like a big belly flop.

1273
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 4: But what about you know, how do you how high

1274
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 4: are you on this group? On the offensive side, end,

1275
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 4: defensive side, the personnel, the roster, and the whole kitt kaboodle.

1276
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 4: This is kind of where we thought we'd be, But

1277
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 4: man Oman, it feels worse than I thought it would feel.

1278
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 16: Yeah, it does.

1279
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 13: And there's obvious concerns, and there are concerns defensively. A

1280
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 13: lot of that has to do with the injuries. When

1281
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 13: are you going to get these guys back? You know,

1282
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 13: does Taron Johnson come back this week? That would certainly help,

1283
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 13: And that's not knock on cam Lewis. He filled in admirably,

1284
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 13: but Terren Johnson's an All Pro player at the nickel position.

1285
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 13: You got Terrel Bernard back last week. That made a difference.

1286
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 13: How quick can Matt Mlano come back? Is it you know,

1287
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 13: early December, because that would certainly be a huge boost

1288
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 13: for this defense. You're gonna get bon Miller back. How

1289
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 13: long is that?

1290
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 3: Oliver?

1291
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 16: Is Taylor rap back this week?

1292
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 13: A lot of the concerns on the defense side of

1293
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 13: the football are the injuries and when you have new guys,

1294
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 13: especially at the safety position, you'd love for Rapp and

1295
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 13: Hamlin or whatever that do is going to be back

1296
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 13: there to be able to gel throughout the season so

1297
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 13: that they're peaking towards the end of the year and

1298
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 13: you really want to avoid any more injuries. And then offensively,

1299
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 13: there's definitely some concerns and a lot of that has

1300
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 13: to do with the passing game, because the run game

1301
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 13: right now seems to be effective, and so it becomes

1302
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 13: how do we get this passing game going? Is it

1303
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 13: lean into the run and it's more play action?

1304
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 6: Is it?

1305
01:05:54,680 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 13: You know, more rub routes to manufacture you know, separate

1306
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 13: against man man defense and not rely on you know,

1307
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 13: guys winning a true one on one matchup. But yeah,

1308
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 13: there is concerns right now. I also feel like, you know,

1309
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 13: they've really shot themselves in the foot against two really

1310
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 13: good teams these last two weeks to start the game,

1311
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 13: and then you just fight and claw to try and

1312
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 13: get back.

1313
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 16: In these things.

1314
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 13: If they could just be more efficient at the start

1315
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 13: of games and not hurt themselves with penalties or drops

1316
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 13: or whatever it may be, they're going to set themselves

1317
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 13: up to play a more just balanced football game, which

1318
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 13: is going to be a better recipe.

1319
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1320
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 2: I like play action on first down a lot because

1321
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 2: they have run the ball on twenty of their last

1322
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 2: twenty six first downs. That's not a tendency, that is

1323
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 2: an extreme lopside, that's a habit. That's a habit exactly.

1324
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 2: So first down playoffs could go a long way on

1325
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 2: Monday night.

1326
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 13: Yeah, especially when you know you're right, you know, depending

1327
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 13: on the game somewhere probably forty to sixty percent past

1328
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 13: the run. When you that heavy on first down, then

1329
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 13: T teams could really clue in on that.

1330
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 16: And then yesterday we ran the.

1331
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 13: Naked boot Leg and Daniel Hunter doesn't fall for it,

1332
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 13: and they actually did. I believe that was a first

1333
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 13: down and I thought that one was going to get

1334
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 13: outside the pocket, but they sniffed that one out.

1335
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 16: But yeah, I'm with you.

1336
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 13: You know, get get more multiple and then you know,

1337
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 13: I know Shakiir is somewhat that guy for Josh. But

1338
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 13: with Shakir out, you know can occur to Samuel. Can

1339
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:32,479
Speaker 13: a Dalton Kin Kaid be that you know, button throw

1340
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 13: and not a screen pass, but you know, kind of

1341
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 13: that quick hit or across the middle of the field

1342
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 13: or an option route, you know, exposing a slot defender,

1343
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 13: getting some of those on early downs to just keep

1344
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 13: you ahead of the down and distance.

1345
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm big for James Cook being featured in the

1346
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 2: passing game. I think he's your most dynamic athlete next

1347
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 2: to Josh Allen on the offense. Maybe feature him more

1348
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 2: in the passing game. Let Ty Johnson and Ray Davis

1349
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 2: handle the run game. And I had some options. I mean,

1350
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 2: the ultimate sign of respect was on that pass that

1351
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 2: he almost caught inbounds. They wanted a linebacker matchup, they

1352
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 2: got a safety instead. That'll show you how much respect

1353
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 2: James Cook has in the passing game. Already, maybe feature

1354
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:14,479
Speaker 2: him a little bit more. Eric, thanks for the time.

1355
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 2: We appreciated. As always, We'll catch up with you later

1356
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 2: in the week.

1357
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 16: Sounds good. Have a great week, guys.

1358
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 2: All right, that's Eric Wood joining us Biel's radio color

1359
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 2: analyst and host of the Centered on Buffalo podcast. Got

1360
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 2: to get right back to the Phone's got people waiting

1361
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,719
Speaker 2: patiently there and we go to Neil in North Jersey.

1362
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

1363
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 9: Neil, gentlemen, longtime call out of the station, first time

1364
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 9: calling you. Thanks for taking my call.

1365
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 8: I appreciate it.

1366
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 2: Sure.

1367
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 11: Excuse me.

1368
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 9: So, I'm just going to ask a very straightforward this

1369
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 9: is the sports talk radio. I'm going to propose a statement.

1370
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 9: I'd like to hear you answer it, and then discuss

1371
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 9: what would Sean McDermott has to do in your eyes

1372
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 9: for you to go on these airways and ask for him.

1373
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 4: To be fired lose the rest of the games.

1374
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 9: So if so, if he goes nine to eight or

1375
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 9: ten and seven, we back door in the playoffs and

1376
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 9: get bounced in the first round, you would keep him

1377
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 9: as the head coach for the following year.

1378
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 2: Yes, he's the winning his coach in Bill's history by winning.

1379
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 9: Okay, that's a budd Okay, So let's let's now it's

1380
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 9: time to burst the bubble.

1381
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 11: Okay.

1382
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 9: Sean McDermott has a gaudy regular season record. He's this

1383
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 9: generation's party shot in the heimer. He'll get you into

1384
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 9: the playoffs, and he's a good regular season coach, but

1385
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 9: he folds in big games and he can't win in

1386
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 9: the playoffs. He should have been fired up to thirteen seconds.

1387
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 9: He had two gay losses against Miami where the time

1388
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 9: ran out. He had ten minute on the field yesterday

1389
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 9: at a game time field goal, and the three as

1390
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 9: nine decisions of the three passing downs near the back

1391
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 9: of his end zone. I don't understand how nobody can

1392
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 9: look at this and look at what Sean McDermott has

1393
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:56,839
Speaker 9: done and get And I don't mean you personally.

1394
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:57,680
Speaker 11: I'm just talking.

1395
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 3: About go ahead in general, Yeah, sorry, go ahead.

1396
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 9: How anybody can look at that body of work? And

1397
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 9: you know, there's an old proverb that I'm fond of.

1398
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,959
Speaker 9: One generation plants the trees, the next one gets to shade.

1399
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 9: And I give Sean McDermott all the credit for rebuilding

1400
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 9: the Rex Ryan Spratt house gears and turning us back

1401
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 9: into respectability. But you know, at some point a coach

1402
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 9: can only get you so far, and his inability to

1403
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 9: manage the clock to have these horrific coaching decisions, and

1404
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 9: as your previous callers said, after eight years, showing no

1405
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 9: growth in development in the ability to handle clock management

1406
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 9: situations and quite frankly holding back, Josh Allen's development, to

1407
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 9: me is inexcusable. And I look at a Brian Johnson

1408
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 9: in Detroit, I look at a Todd Bunkin on the Ravens.

1409
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,600
Speaker 9: I look at other teams where they have an offensive

1410
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 9: system that actually is molded toward the talents of their quarterback,

1411
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 9: where they have a competent general manager that builds pieces

1412
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 9: around them and then goes up and then gets to

1413
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 9: championships and gets to super Bowls, because there is a

1414
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:59,839
Speaker 9: vision going forward. And I just don't see.

1415
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 2: They said Ben Johnson and Todd Monkun neither of them

1416
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 2: got to the super Bowl. But I know what you're saying, Okay, yeah, yeah,

1417
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 2: keep going, You're right, go ahead.

1418
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 9: Man, And so yeah, and my point, and this is

1419
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 9: not absolved Josh Allen for his horrific play. It does

1420
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 9: not absolve the fact that we have wide receivers that

1421
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 9: can I could separation. But that defense yesterday had more

1422
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 9: heart than the talent they had in the field. They

1423
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 9: after the initial they only gave up three field goals.

1424
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 9: I mean, that was the defense that was at least

1425
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 9: trying and doing everything they can and keep that team

1426
01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 9: in the game, and we still, excuse me, had a

1427
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 9: chance to win that game. So I'm just going to

1428
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 9: go back to my original point. I do not understand

1429
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 9: why anybody after what Sean McDermott did yesterday. I have

1430
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 9: cousins who have been Seasons eight holds for twenty five years.

1431
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 9: I have been going to Bill's games since I was

1432
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 9: twelve years old, and I can't justify being a Bills

1433
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 9: fan today after looking at what McDermott has done with

1434
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 9: these horrific late decisions, with these forrit withsin thirteen seconds.

1435
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 9: It spits on the face of every blue collar Buffalonium

1436
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 9: who puts their hard earned money to watch a team.

1437
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 9: All you want to see from a team at the

1438
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:08,639
Speaker 9: end of the day is that they're putting a best

1439
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 9: foot forward and that there's a plan going forward. And

1440
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,679
Speaker 9: with Sean McDermott as his head coach, we will never

1441
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 9: win a Super Bowl with him because he's good, but

1442
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 9: he's just not good enough.

1443
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 2: All right, Nailia said your piece, and hope you uh.

1444
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 2: I mean, it's obvious where you stand on your opinion.

1445
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 2: You kind of contradicted yourself a little bit at the

1446
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 2: end there because you gave a ton of credit to

1447
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 2: the defense for the effort that they had down five starters, which,

1448
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 2: in case anybody forgot, turnover on downs to take points

1449
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 2: off the board for Houston deep in their own territory,

1450
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,680
Speaker 2: and then two turnovers in the fourth quarter along with

1451
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 2: turning CJ. Stroud into relatively ordinary quarterback. Yes he was

1452
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 2: sixteen to twenty three, but only for one hundred and

1453
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 2: forty four yards in the second half with an interception

1454
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 2: and a sixty eight passer rating and a fumble lost.

1455
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 2: So if you're going to give all this credit it

1456
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 2: to the defense, you got to kind of give that

1457
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 2: to the head coach as well. I mean, we can

1458
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 2: run down the list of defensive accomplishments during Sean McDermott's

1459
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 2: tenure as well. So if you want to put all

1460
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 2: of the blame on him for what happened at the

1461
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:18,759
Speaker 2: end of the game, and look, they gave the game away.

1462
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going to debate it for a second. Their

1463
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 2: decision at the end of the game on the last

1464
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 2: possession was wrong. The coach said it himself, we should

1465
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 2: have been taking the more efficient approach where his direct words,

1466
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 2: which to me means running the ball, so he understood

1467
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 2: it as soon as it was over. I know it's frustrating.

1468
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 2: It seems like he didn't learn from past mistakes. And

1469
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 2: you feel that's a fireable offense. That's your prerogative, that's

1470
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 2: your opinion as a fan. Ultimately, I don't think it's

1471
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 2: going to happen because the guy, as I said earlier,

1472
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 2: is the winningest head coach in Bill's history by winning percentage.

1473
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 2: That's better than a Hall of Famer in Marv Levy.

1474
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,719
Speaker 2: It's better than a two time AFL champion and Lou Saban.

1475
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 2: So it's not happening.

1476
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 3: It's just not. Yeah, and I.

1477
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 2: Know that bothers you, and you have your reasons why,

1478
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 2: and you stated them all and we gave you your time.

1479
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:10,680
Speaker 2: But that's where it is.

1480
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 3: I get it.

1481
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's hard, Yeah, And I get it. It's

1482
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 4: hard to defend, you know, the head coach on a

1483
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 4: day like today when he says, hey, it's my faul,

1484
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take all the blame for it. I don't

1485
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 4: believe that's true, but he took the blame and it's

1486
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,600
Speaker 4: his responsibility ultimately, no question about it.

1487
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 3: I've been we've been down.

1488
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:27,760
Speaker 4: This road on every one of these tough losses, and

1489
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 4: there have been a ton of them, too many obviously

1490
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 4: for a lot of people's taste. And you've all heard

1491
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 4: my say about it. I mean, would the Philadelphia Eagles

1492
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:41,720
Speaker 4: have won a Super Bowl before they did if they'd

1493
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 4: have held on Andy Reid because Andy Reid got fired

1494
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 4: in Philly because he was poor clock management, Yeah, and

1495
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 4: couldn't win the big one. Couldn't win a big one.

1496
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 4: I'll say this too. If you think Sean mcdermot's not

1497
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 4: good in big games, every playoff game in the National

1498
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 4: Football League is an enormous game, and he wins one

1499
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 4: of those every year every year.

1500
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 3: So that's you know, I don't know if I buy that.

1501
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Neil is clearly not satisfied with great

1502
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 2: success in the regular season, which is.

1503
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 3: What I get it.

1504
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 4: There's a lot of bottom line fans out there. If

1505
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 4: you don't win the big one. You stink and you

1506
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:16,600
Speaker 4: need to.

1507
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:17,440
Speaker 3: Be fired.

1508
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 2: Careful what you wish for.

1509
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I don't know.

1510
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 4: I I think you need shots on to be using

1511
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 4: another sports and now I think you need shots on goal.

1512
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 4: You got you're there every single year, and we've seen

1513
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 4: how many quirky, weird wild ways the Bills have found

1514
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 4: to lose games like this, not only in the regular season,

1515
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 4: but also in the postseason as well. They've also won

1516
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 4: a ton of them. And I and one of these

1517
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 4: I think maybe this year is going to be one

1518
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 4: of those where we don't get into one of those quirky, weird,

1519
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 4: wild scenarios that we come out on the short end

1520
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 4: of it, you know, give us a chance to get

1521
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 4: back there and take our shot again. This guy and

1522
01:15:55,120 --> 01:16:00,720
Speaker 4: this crew do that every year, and I'm I'm willing

1523
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 4: to go back and take my swing every year with

1524
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 4: this crew rather than take six steps back and find

1525
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:10,440
Speaker 4: out the next guy, whoever that may be, has massive problems,

1526
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 4: not just clock management problems in a tight game. Yeah,

1527
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 4: so I'm with you.

1528
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 3: I hear you, Neil. You got every right to be

1529
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 3: ticked today.

1530
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 4: And I know there's a lot of people that are

1531
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 4: right in your shoes and we hear them every time

1532
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 4: this comes up.

1533
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 3: I just don't agree with everything he said.

1534
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but your phone

1535
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 2: calls next, So if you're waiting on hold, stay there.

1536
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 2: We'll get to you when we return here on One

1537
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:53,679
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. All right back here on One Bill's Live,

1538

Speaker 2: Chris Brown Steve to ask her with you are goin

1539
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 2: to get right back to the phone, whereas some people

1540
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 2: are waiting patiently with their takeaways from yesterday's troubling lost

1541
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 2: at the hands of the Texans, And we go to

1542
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 2: Butcher on the east Side next, and Butch, we got

1543
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people on the line. So if you

1544
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 2: could make it quick, that'd be great.

1545
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm gonna make you real quick. Thanks for taking

1546
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 17: marcole MSG I love him. W Jalman fans, I love you.

1547
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:16,600
Speaker 11: But let me just tell you this.

1548
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 17: The last caller, I'm gonna concur with what he said.

1549
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 17: You know, I've been forty years, this has been on

1550
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 17: a radio station called for forty years. But far as

1551
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 17: being a Bills fan, as the Bills fan back in

1552
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 17: the late seventies, one thing I'm going to say right now,

1553
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 17: one thing in this if we're going to go into

1554
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 17: a new stadium and old fans like myself with these

1555
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 17: another young kids coming up as new fans. If you're

1556
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 17: going to just tell me that we're gonna go based

1557
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 17: off stats, based off wins losses, he's great. Or if

1558
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,600
Speaker 17: that person's a starter, No, you're gonna have to have

1559
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 17: eleven starters anyway, whether it's defense, offensive, special teams. So

1560
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,799
Speaker 17: regardless if you start, that'll mean you a better player

1561
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 17: second week. Just because you got more wins than anybody else,

1562
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 17: that don't.

1563
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 11: Mean you the best coach.

1564
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 17: Chuck Knox was better than the better than Sean McDermott.

1565
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 17: Marv Leedy is definitely better than Sean McDermott. So, don't

1566
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,639
Speaker 17: get me wrong. I respect Sean. Don't get it twisted.

1567
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 11: I do.

1568
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 17: But at the same time, competency is very important when

1569
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 17: you talk about coaching. You've got to have some kind

1570
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 17: of a mindset to be a head coach.

1571
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 11: Don't get me wrong.

1572
01:18:23,600 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 17: He's on hook to day. He deserved to be on

1573
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 17: hook to day based off what happened. Thirty two seconds

1574
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 17: I'm gonna have to take with me, thirteen seconds I'm

1575
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:32,600
Speaker 17: gonna have to take with me. But let me just

1576
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 17: say this, and I'm gonna hang out because I know

1577
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 17: you said you got a lot of calls. Money in

1578
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 17: this organization has always been the reason of why we

1579
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 17: play people so long. Instead of saying, well, let's try

1580
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 17: a person even though we pay a big contract, but

1581
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,639
Speaker 17: if they're not performing, let's move on from our money.

1582
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 17: We brought two receivers in. We brought Ellis and we

1583
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,760
Speaker 17: brought Sambue in. Here they knew guy. Yeah, you could say, well,

1584
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 17: Samuel was with Brady and Carolina before he went to Washington.

1585
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 11: That was here.

1586
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 17: Say back then right now in our group, as we

1587
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 17: always say.

1588
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 11: Trust the system. That's been our model for.

1589
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 17: I don't know how many years since Shawn and those

1590
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 17: guys been and go get it twisted again.

1591
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 11: I do trust the system. But in the system you

1592
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 11: have to.

1593
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 17: Just like you promoted Brady and Dorsey from within, you

1594
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 17: promote your players within that don't paid their dues. You had,

1595
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 17: you had Terrell Shavers who played with Diggs, all those

1596
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 17: other guys, all the guys they came up through the

1597
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:34,639
Speaker 17: ranks in practice. Now, yeah he got opportunity to dress

1598
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 17: the other day. You don't run place to him. You're

1599
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 17: still playing Ellis and you're still playing Samuel. He's trying

1600
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 17: to justify the means because us.

1601
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 3: But who's Ellis? Who's Ellis?

1602
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 5: Oh?

1603
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 17: Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Hollis correct Thanks, okay, real quick,

1604
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 17: real quick, I'm hanging up. Thanks, say Steve correctly, Hollis. Hollis,

1605
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:55,600
Speaker 17: you know you got you hold him, Hollis and you

1606
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 17: hold Sammy. Okay, you keep me.

1607
01:19:57,439 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 11: These guys keep forcing us like we.

1608
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 17: Uneducated what football is really supposed to be like or what.

1609
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 11: Is supposed to be played.

1610
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 17: Like we had Steve Tasterer who go to four Super Bowls,

1611
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 17: they could have went the six, so we know what

1612
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 17: good football, what goofball players are So please moving forward

1613
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 17: with this. And I'm saying this and I'm going after this,

1614
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 17: and thanks for taking my call. One bills drive. Let

1615
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 17: me tell you now, shut Hollis down. Let's save a start,

1616
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 17: and you've got handling out there. You try these guys

1617
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 17: that's already practicing, working hard, just like everybody else, because

1618
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 17: we don't play five games, and what we end up

1619
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 17: seeing with these other two guys, it ain't working. And

1620
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 17: you're getting our quarterback kills. And I'm letting you know

1621
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 17: now don't do it. Thank you so much, guys. I

1622
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:36,720
Speaker 17: love you all right.

1623
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 2: Thanks Butch, We're gonna move along and go to Mark

1624
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 2: and Jersey City.

1625
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 18: What's up Mark, Good afternoon, gentlemen. Thanks taking my call.

1626
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 18: I'm going to be a glass half full kind of

1627
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:50,280
Speaker 18: guy because it's week five and you know, people are

1628
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 18: the sky is falling. Well, there's twelve more games left,

1629
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 18: and you cannot do that as a collective group coaches

1630
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,599
Speaker 18: of players. Otherwise you're just going to book end these

1631
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 18: type of performances. These players on offense, they haven't been

1632
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 18: in these situations before, and they look like it. You

1633
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 18: see Samuel just not know what the play is, and

1634
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:10,640
Speaker 18: you know, it just seems like when they try to

1635
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 18: get him the ball, it's behind the line of scrimmage

1636
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 18: or something bad happens. Coleman getting hit in the back

1637
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,599
Speaker 18: of the head with the ball not knowing Josh made

1638
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 18: an adjustment, but he rebounds on a fourth and five,

1639
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:23,639
Speaker 18: and I think they're kind of trying to crescendo him

1640
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 18: not too much put on his plate too much too soon.

1641
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 18: But you know the rest of the guys, I feel

1642
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 18: like Hamiler should have been up yesterday instead of Shavers.

1643
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:33,719
Speaker 18: If if Josh was, you know, looking for some quick

1644
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 18: answers or you know, he hit Cook early in the game,

1645
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 18: kind of like what we saw in Jacksonville, and he

1646
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 18: never went back to it. I know that must have

1647
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 18: been frustrating for UCB, and he just seemed like with

1648
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 18: the big storyline, he just wanted to get the game

1649
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 18: over with. He looked tacks. He was doing the sugar

1650
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 18: high stuff, the one rollout where he almost threw the

1651
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 18: pick back across his back half, yeah, yeah, and missing.

1652
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 18: I think the bigger miss was Kinkaid down the scene

1653
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 18: he had him and you know, just setting his feet

1654
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,759
Speaker 18: and just just letting the guy run under it instead

1655
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:07,919
Speaker 18: of like overthrowing it. But on defense, they got some players.

1656
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 18: I don't know if it was that UCB, the Kyle

1657
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 18: Williams Carter Cup.

1658
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 2: I say, he reminds me of Williams, a little bit

1659
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 2: smart player.

1660
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 18: You you you're you're getting that one right. And Dorian Williams.

1661
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:21,280
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1662
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 18: I mean, I don't know when the last time they

1663
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 18: had a run and Chase hit linebacker like that. Maybe

1664
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:28,720
Speaker 18: it was Angel Correl before he messed his knee up.

1665
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,479
Speaker 18: But he looks physical plays downhill. I mean he missed

1666
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 18: one tackle on Stroud, but you know, everybody had their

1667
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 18: hand in it yesterday. But they gave them some chances

1668
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 18: and he's always around the ball. He's recovered his second

1669
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 18: or third fumble of the year. They got some young

1670
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:46,520
Speaker 18: players on defense and they fought back, made plays, got turnovers,

1671
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 18: and you know, I think everybody is just kind of

1672
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 18: needs to relax today. I think they'll get it figured out.

1673
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 4: I'll say this, some of this made me think about it,

1674
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 4: and I got it. We all now it's kind of

1675
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 4: a punch line. Now everybody eats. Everybody's making fun of

1676
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 4: that now on a day like today. But I think

1677
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,760
Speaker 4: maybe you might be right, maybe less of that. I mean,

1678
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 4: you got some guys out there who performed. Certainly Shaki

1679
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:14,600
Speaker 4: was not in the lineup yesterday, and I think that

1680
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:16,800
Speaker 4: did make a difference for this offense. But Cook and

1681
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 4: Kinkaid have played well and you can kind of depend

1682
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:24,679
Speaker 4: on them. And if somebody who elevates to get into

1683
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,599
Speaker 4: that along with Shakir, I mean that's you got Cook,

1684
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 4: Shakiir Kinkaid. Maybe feed those guys a little bit more,

1685
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 4: Get the guys who you know are performing and feed

1686
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:36,640
Speaker 4: them the ball and stop trying to fit in a

1687
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 4: couple of targets to this guy and to that guy

1688
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 4: and to these other guys. Pick some guys and go

1689
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 4: with them, because I think it's hard for players too,

1690
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 4: you know, even if they're working hard and earning it,

1691
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 4: to get into the flow of a game and say,

1692
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 4: I get three targets this game, and I don't know

1693
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 4: when they're going to be.

1694
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 2: I'm just saying right now, narrow it down. Yeah, narrow

1695
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 2: it down. May Cook a featured guy, and I'm telling

1696
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 2: you he is the most dynamic athlete on offense next

1697
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 2: to Josh Allen. He's got to get the ball more

1698
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 2: in the passing game because he's a guy that can

1699
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 2: create separation. He's athletic enough to do that. Yeah, so

1700
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:17,679
Speaker 2: is Shakir. So those two guys are one and two

1701
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 2: in my passing game. And then Kincaid is three. And

1702
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 2: if you want to bring Coleman along and make him

1703
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,679
Speaker 2: your four, fine, But I wouldn't mind going back to Dawson.

1704
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 2: Knox big target in the passing game has made plays

1705
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 2: in the past. That's the continuity. You have to rediscover that.

1706
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 4: When you yesterday. And I'm not saying throw the whole

1707
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:37,679
Speaker 4: plan and the whole you know, blueprint out. But I'll

1708
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,760
Speaker 4: say this too, yesterday in a game, after a game

1709
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 4: like yesterday, you really feel like they need to focus

1710
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 4: on some guys. You know, great coaches in the past

1711
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 4: have always said when you get into these tight situations

1712
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 4: and you get into these games, you don't think plays

1713
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 4: like run or pass or short pass, long pass, screen pass, whatever.

1714
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 4: You think players matchups. You think players, not plays. And

1715
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:04,800
Speaker 4: I think the Bills on a game like yesterday, when

1716
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 4: your quarterback is all over the map is nine for thirty,

1717
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 4: give him some focus and help him out that way.

1718
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 4: I'll listen to that conversation. That makes some sense to me.

1719
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 4: But I still like this group. But they do have

1720
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 4: some things they got to tighten up and fix, no question.

1721
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:25,680
Speaker 2: All right, let's get back to the phones because we've

1722
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 2: had people waiting. We go to Judy in Buffalo next.

1723
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:28,759
Speaker 2: What's up Judy?

1724
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 11: All right?

1725
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 5: Two things.

1726
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,599
Speaker 19: You know, I'm not upset because right from the beginning

1727
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:37,600
Speaker 19: I said the Bills had to go four to in

1728
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 19: the first six games. So now we're down to the

1729
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 19: game that we really need to win, and we're going

1730
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 19: to be playing a team that is diminished offensively as

1731
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 19: much as we are. Everybody is hurting on both of

1732
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:57,679
Speaker 19: these teams. I think Aaron Rodgers is playing on one

1733
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 19: and a half legs, so maybe we can make a

1734
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 19: difference here. The worst thing that could probably happen to

1735
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 19: us is they take him out and they put tyrod Taylor,

1736
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 19: and that would be bad.

1737
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:08,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1738
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 19: The other thing, the other thing I want to mention

1739
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 19: is this, I would now, I would call up the

1740
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:20,560
Speaker 19: Green Bay Packers, who have a four of young talented receivers,

1741
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:26,520
Speaker 19: and offer a second round pick for Dobbs, who apparently

1742
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 19: is unhappy with his situation there. I think that would

1743
01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:33,440
Speaker 19: upgrade our receiving staff tremendously.

1744
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, I mean Dobbs is a guy that

1745
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 2: pretty much went a wall last week. He was unhappy

1746
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 2: with his role in the offense and just didn't show

1747
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 2: up to work for two days. Didn't show up. Yeah,

1748
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:49,799
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if that runs runs

1749
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 2: in concert with the kind of operation coach McDermott likes

1750
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 2: to run here. But I get what you're saying, a guy.

1751
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 3: You might be able to get him, cheat you're not.

1752
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 4: You're if you're gonna go get Dobbs, you're not gonna

1753
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 4: give up a two for him. You get five, they're

1754
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 4: gonna read. They'll be ready to pedal him. A five

1755
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 4: would they would be jumping, they'd be doing cartwheels. I

1756
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 4: don't know if Yeah, I get it. Make a move

1757
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 4: for a guy, Yeah, I'm I'm And you're right, Judy.

1758
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 4: Everything you said was was right you You've been calling

1759
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 4: it four and two after six games for a month now,

1760
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 4: and I get it.

1761
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 2: And that chance is still out there.

1762
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 3: It's still out there.

1763
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:32,000
Speaker 4: This Jet game is these first the first matchup of

1764
01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 4: the Jets series in each season has been to me,

1765
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 4: it seems like we always struggle struggle against those guys.

1766
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 4: Like last year we beat him big time at the

1767
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 4: end of the season. Of course at Rogers wasn't there,

1768
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 4: but he wasn't there the first matchup either. We still

1769
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 4: couldn't do it. So it's a it's a problem. Their

1770
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 4: defense is really salty. They're a good bunch, so it's

1771
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,920
Speaker 4: they're gonna be up against it this week. But you're right,

1772
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 4: you said you called it from the word and and

1773
01:27:55,880 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers I called that myself. A thousand snaps is

1774
01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 4: a long time and he's got to get it done.

1775
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 4: He's starting to get nicked up. He had a swollen

1776
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:07,759
Speaker 4: knee last week. Now this week he rolled his ankle.

1777
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

1778
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 4: It does not look good, man, But they get an

1779
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:15,719
Speaker 4: extra day to get ready. You gotta think he's gonna

1780
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 4: be ready to play.

1781
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:18,679
Speaker 3: As well.

1782
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 4: So I'm yeah, there these are two teams that are

1783
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 4: at the you know right now, the last two teams

1784
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 4: in the division standing, so that this is an enormous

1785
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 4: game for Buffalo. But I have more faith in this

1786
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 4: group of wideouts and skill position players than I think

1787
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 4: most people do today. I'm I'm not ready to kick

1788
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:38,680
Speaker 4: him to the curb quite yet or bring in a

1789
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 4: guy like Dobbs from Green Bay Ache any day.

1790
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:43,680
Speaker 2: I'm not expanding the pool. I am streamlining it. Yeah,

1791
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 2: and giving the guys I mentioned more playing time.

1792
01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm asking.

1793
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 2: The game Kinkaid, Shakir, Coleman, Dawson Knox. Yeah, Brownie and

1794
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:53,679
Speaker 2: I didn't get the table.

1795
01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 4: Brownie and I didn't talk about this before the show,

1796
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 4: but I think we've kind of talked ourselves down this

1797
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 4: road together. I'm ready to to let the big dogs

1798
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:09,320
Speaker 4: eat not everybody. So I'll listen to that conversation a

1799
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 4: little bit, but I'm not ready to bring in yet

1800
01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 4: another mouth to feed.

1801
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 2: Break time for us more of your phone calls when

1802

1803

1804
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:38,320

1810

1811
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,679
Speaker 2: to the phones here on a Buffalo Football Monday, Chris Brown,

1812
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you as you look at our adornment

1813
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 2: of rold Gold and Tostitos those of you watching on MSG.

1814
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:13,559
Speaker 2: But we got to get back to the phones. There

1815
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:15,479
Speaker 2: have been a lot of people waiting for a bit here,

1816
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 2: and let me see who has been waiting the longest.

1817
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 2: Here we go to Rick and Ken Moore next wait

1818
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:22,760
Speaker 2: got for us Rick here on One Bill's Live.

1819
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:25,599
Speaker 5: He thank you for taking my call. Let me first

1820
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:28,759
Speaker 5: shut off by saying, I'm in the camp promac Dermot

1821
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 5: camp all the way and nothing is changed in that.

1822
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,719
Speaker 5: But you know, as far as you know, I can't

1823
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 5: see us. We'd be trying to replace him, and a

1824
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 5: lot of people think he should be fired.

1825
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:39,680
Speaker 11: I do not.

1826
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 5: I do not agree with that at all. I think

1827
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:45,679
Speaker 5: we'd be spinning our wheels and we'd be hard pressed

1828
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 5: to replace a guy like that, you know. And then

1829
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:51,360
Speaker 5: I've got a few years experience behind me. I think

1830
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 5: it's a little bit educated whatever, you know. And yesterday

1831
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 5: was it wasn't about winning or losing. It was more

1832
01:30:58,439 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 5: about letting the Texans win in regulation. You know, I

1833
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 5: attribute I attribute thirteen seconds to a learning experience, and

1834
01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 5: I'd say a whole lot went on behind the scenes

1835
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:10,800
Speaker 5: that maybe I'm guessing that we don't know about. And

1836
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 5: I'm talking about Leslie Fraser and I'm talking about why

1837
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 5: did our special teams person go on to another team

1838
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:20,719
Speaker 5: at that time? You know, yeah, you know that definitely,

1839
01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 5: that's only like three or four that's only four years ago,

1840
01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 5: so that's like a lot a lot more recent. I mean,

1841
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 5: as far as the time McDermott was a head coach

1842
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,839
Speaker 5: till he experienced that less time has passed. Now we're talking,

1843
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 5: like Kevin. I totally agree with Kevin from Hamburg's call earlier.

1844
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:38,960
Speaker 5: We're talking seven eight years now that he's been at

1845
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:42,760
Speaker 5: the Helm, you know, and as far as starting out

1846
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:46,599
Speaker 5: those last possessions, starting out on the three yard line,

1847
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 5: that kind of dictated even more so, how we should,

1848
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 5: you know, address that particular situation. And you know, I mean,

1849
01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 5: as far as I'm concerned, it's on me. Is the

1850
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:01,559
Speaker 5: biggest understatement all of a sudden. I mean, there's no

1851
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 5: I couldn't believe what was going on yesterday in that call.

1852
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,640
Speaker 5: There's a whole lot one on it before that happens.

1853
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:11,639
Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong, we didn't. We didn't play that well,

1854
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:13,640
Speaker 5: and there was a lot of mistakes going on, you know,

1855
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:18,639
Speaker 5: but uh, you know, I just you know, I you know.

1856
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:19,439
Speaker 11: I don't know, you know.

1857
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:21,800
Speaker 5: I mean, that's all I gotta say. I mean, yeah,

1858
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 5: it's you know, going back to Kevin's statement that he's

1859
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 5: had his time, I mean, I have no confidence if

1860
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:30,240
Speaker 5: we were, if the bill were ever to reach a

1861
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 5: crucial game down the road. I mean, I'm all in

1862
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:36,639
Speaker 5: on McDermott. But as far as having confidence in him

1863
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 5: making a decision if it comes to it, I don't.

1864
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 5: I don't have that anymore. And until he does it,

1865
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:44,040
Speaker 5: until it happens, it's not gonna happen.

1866
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:47,439
Speaker 2: For me, right, Okay, fair enough, Rick, I mean, look

1867
01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:49,760
Speaker 2: what happened at the end of the game. It's hard

1868
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 2: to defend. I'll be the first to tell you that.

1869
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 2: And yeah, you want a coach to learn from their

1870
01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:56,960
Speaker 2: mistakes and be better because of it. And when you

1871
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:02,400
Speaker 2: see a mess up like this, yeah, it's discouraging and

1872
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 2: maybe it does tarnish your faith in the guy calling

1873
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 2: the shots on the sidelines. I'll just say this. I

1874
01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:12,519
Speaker 2: think we all feel like sometimes and I'm not trying

1875
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 2: to compare this to NFL football, but I guess in

1876
01:33:15,160 --> 01:33:17,000
Speaker 2: a way, I'm trying to make an analogy and draw

1877
01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:22,200
Speaker 2: a parallel. We all feel like we're better at whatever

1878
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 2: it is that we do. The more experience we get.

1879
01:33:25,320 --> 01:33:27,320
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean that we're gonna be perfect the rest of

1880
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 2: the way. We're not. I mean, I'm not perfect. I

1881
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:33,760
Speaker 2: try really hard to be the best play by play

1882
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 2: broadcaster I can on the radio, and I try to

1883
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,840
Speaker 2: learn from mistakes that I make over the course of

1884
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 2: a three and a half hour broadcast, But sometimes in

1885
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 2: the moment I'm not gonna nail it. It's not because

1886
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:51,839
Speaker 2: I'm not trying, and it's not because I haven't learned lessons.

1887
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:53,840
Speaker 2: And maybe that's a lot different than coaching an NFL

1888
01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:57,519
Speaker 2: football game. But my point is, even though you try

1889
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,240
Speaker 2: your darnedest to be perfect, perfect is something, and it's

1890
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 2: difficult to be sometimes not trying to let him off

1891
01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 2: the hook because it's hard to defend. But that's just

1892
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 2: kind of where I'm coming from on it.

1893
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm I'm with you, and it's it's easy to

1894
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 4: sit here and you know, do that to throw Sean

1895
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:20,200
Speaker 4: McDermott under the bus and do he's you know he's

1896
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:22,120
Speaker 4: and think he's never gonna get it, he's never going

1897
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 4: to be the right guy because he hasn't got any better.

1898
01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:28,920
Speaker 3: We don't like it. I don't know. I'm not quite

1899
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:29,320
Speaker 3: there yet.

1900
01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:31,799
Speaker 4: They handled the end of the Arizona Cardinals game earlier

1901
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 4: this season really well. You go back and there's you

1902
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 4: know that they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year

1903
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:43,559
Speaker 4: by six points. They you know, they win against the

1904
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 4: Jets well, not that one so much. But you know,

1905
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 4: they get beat by a fifty nine yard kick in

1906
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 4: the rainstorm in Philly last year and lose in overtime.

1907
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:56,000
Speaker 3: Otherwise they're you know, they win seven or eight.

1908
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 4: They win seven straight down the road instead of just

1909
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 4: five straight. They beat the Kansas City twenty Chiefs twenty

1910
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,639
Speaker 4: seventeen last year December tenth, they beat him by three points.

1911
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:09,679
Speaker 4: They got clock management, they did exactly right down that stretch.

1912
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 4: The Chargers win last year in December twenty third, right

1913
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,679
Speaker 4: before Christmas. They beat him by two points. They handled

1914
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:20,000
Speaker 4: the endgame of that exactly right. They beat the Patriots

1915
01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:22,759
Speaker 4: twenty seven to twenty one last year in December thirty first,

1916
01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 4: by six points. They handled the end of that game

1917
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:30,280
Speaker 4: just right. Yes, sometimes there have been times when it

1918
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 4: is maddening because every person who even has you know,

1919
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:44,080
Speaker 4: as any kind of mature fanship, they've been watching games

1920
01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:47,240
Speaker 4: for a while. Everybody was saying, well, they're gonna run

1921
01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 4: the ball here yesterday when they get down there and

1922
01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:53,760
Speaker 4: they didn't, No three state And I get and I

1923
01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:56,479
Speaker 4: say this too, even if you're aggressive, you're gonna throw

1924
01:35:56,520 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 4: it that first down. See if you can get a

1925
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 4: drive starter because thirty two seconds you think, okay, well

1926
01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:03,000
Speaker 4: we get a drive starter, then we can get out.

1927
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,800
Speaker 4: Maybe we get you know, Josh Britt snaps off a

1928
01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:08,160
Speaker 4: twenty yard run. We're now, don't we get a chance

1929
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 4: for a long field? Go if you get a drive

1930
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 4: starter on first down, the very first play.

1931
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 2: And as a drive starter, you mean, just so everybody

1932
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:15,120
Speaker 2: on here, like like.

1933
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:17,760
Speaker 4: A fifteen yard player a ten yard get out of

1934
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 4: get out of your shadow, of your own end zone.

1935
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 4: You know, get a positive play, get some mo that

1936
01:36:23,160 --> 01:36:25,680
Speaker 4: doesn't happen. I think, okay, now turn around, hand it off,

1937
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 4: let's go. Well they didn't, and in fact, Josh makes

1938
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:31,599
Speaker 4: two of the most of the worst throes of the game.

1939
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 3: They're off the field.

1940
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:38,720
Speaker 4: Even with a dynamite punt by Sam Martin, Houston gets

1941
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:43,160
Speaker 4: the ball right back and it's you know, it's maddening

1942
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 4: to sit here today and think.

1943
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 3: Man, we did it to ourselves again. You know. That's why,

1944
01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 3: that's why it's a hard Monday to wake up to.

1945
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:57,400
Speaker 2: Break time for us here all of your phone calls

1959
01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:22,840
Speaker 20: after they brought to my game and talked to you

1960
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 20: guys about you know what, we beat three teams, Arizona

1961
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:33,880
Speaker 20: Dolphins and the Jacksonville Under five UNDERD teams. To this

1962
01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 20: day they are all three the under five hundred. Secondly,

1963
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 20: the scoring numbers, the numbers they put up was against

1964
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:43,760
Speaker 20: three bad teams. And I know they were number two

1965
01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:46,720
Speaker 20: in offense and whatnot. Those number don't matter to me.

1966
01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:50,640
Speaker 20: I also have said, how real test is coming up Baltimore,

1967
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:54,280
Speaker 20: Houston gets all on the road. He saw these when

1968
01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:57,719
Speaker 20: they are real deal or not? And the game coming

1969
01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:00,679
Speaker 20: up on Monday night, against the guests. If they lose

1970
01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 20: that game, they're going to be second place in AFC East.

1971
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 20: That's a huge game coming up.

1972
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:09,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they get absolutely, they better.

1973
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:09,720
Speaker 11: Get to create for this.

1974
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:14,080
Speaker 21: And three games out of the five they came out

1975
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:19,639
Speaker 21: flat against Arizona, against Baltimore and yesterday.

1976
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:21,800
Speaker 11: Come on, they gotta fix this.

1977
01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think? What do you think, Ryan,

1978
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:26,920
Speaker 3: what do you think about how to fix it?

1979
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 21: I don't unerstand if you touched on earlier on at

1980
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:32,799
Speaker 21: the beginning of the show, you said they came out flat.

1981
01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:36,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was curious if you had a thought

1982
01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 2: on how to fix that.

1983
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:40,080
Speaker 21: To be honest, I don't know.

1984
01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:41,120
Speaker 11: I'm not the head coach.

1985
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what I mean.

1986
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get you.

1987
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:48,599
Speaker 21: They came out plant against Arizona and then they you know,

1988
01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:53,800
Speaker 21: they beat Miami and Jacksonville was good, and all of

1989
01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:55,719
Speaker 21: a sudden, they forgot about how they came out flat

1990
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 21: on week one and I guess what, Baltimore, he said,

1991
01:39:58,120 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 21: take advantage of it.

1992
01:39:59,160 --> 01:39:59,760
Speaker 2: Yeah they did.

1993
01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 4: You're right, and you're right as you look at who

1994
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:04,439
Speaker 4: they've played and how they've played against those teams. The

1995
01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 4: teams that they've beaten are not good, and the last

1996
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:10,320
Speaker 4: two teams they played are and the Bills have not

1997
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:10,960
Speaker 4: stacked up.

1998
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:12,160
Speaker 3: Certainly.

1999
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:14,800
Speaker 4: Yesterday was a very close game and it could have

2000
01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 4: gone either way. And you can blame the head coach

2001
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 4: and the time, all the stuff that you can blame

2002
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:23,559
Speaker 4: it on. I'll say this, they played I've never seen him.

2003
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:26,640
Speaker 4: We've never seen him play worse offensively, never seen him

2004
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:29,599
Speaker 4: play worse. They scored twenty points. Yeah, from a passing perspective,

2005
01:40:29,600 --> 01:40:31,960
Speaker 4: they've never seen him play worse. And they had a

2006
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:33,960
Speaker 4: chance to win that game because they got some stellar

2007
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:35,880
Speaker 4: play from their defense in the second half all of

2008
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:40,200
Speaker 4: that stuff. But Josh was nine to thirty. That's as

2009
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:43,680
Speaker 4: bad as we have ever seen him. So to have

2010
01:40:43,720 --> 01:40:46,040
Speaker 4: a chance to win that game is kind of perplexing.

2011
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:46,920
Speaker 4: I don't know how it happened.

2012
01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:47,520
Speaker 2: Remarkable.

2013
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:51,880
Speaker 4: So, yeah, against good teams, sure, they're piling on. They're

2014
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 4: piling on against bad teams or teams with poor records

2015
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:57,559
Speaker 4: here in the early going. But they've played a couple

2016
01:40:57,560 --> 01:40:59,439
Speaker 4: of really good teams this last couple of weeks and.

2017
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:01,599
Speaker 3: Have not looked good. Certainly Houston.

2018
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:04,640
Speaker 4: Uh, they looked much better than they did against Baltimore

2019
01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 4: and got back into a game and played good enough

2020
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:10,320
Speaker 4: offensively and defensively to give them themselves a chance. But

2021
01:41:10,520 --> 01:41:13,680
Speaker 4: you're right, Ryan, against the upper echelon of the of

2022
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:17,920
Speaker 4: the conference right now, they have not played well and I've,

2023
01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:19,639
Speaker 4: as I've said a couple of times in the show,

2024
01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:21,679
Speaker 4: it seems like they're getting out.

2025
01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:26,120
Speaker 3: Too slow stars. And I don't mean in Arizona. I

2026
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:28,519
Speaker 3: think they looked flat.

2027
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:33,599
Speaker 4: But against Baltimore and against UH yesterday against Houston, they

2028
01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:36,120
Speaker 4: just didn't work. Yeah, they didn't look they look they

2029
01:41:36,200 --> 01:41:38,400
Speaker 4: looked like they had some energy. It just nothing was there.

2030
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:41,559
Speaker 2: Disjointed, not they looked out of sorts.

2031
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:43,880
Speaker 4: Not there's energy, and they looked like their emotions were

2032
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 4: into it and they were playing with some some zest,

2033
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:50,240
Speaker 4: but nothing was working. So that was a little different

2034
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:51,240
Speaker 4: than the Arizona game.

2035
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 2: And not for nothing, this was the narrative last time

2036
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 2: this last year, at this time off the London game,

2037
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 2: Week five, slow start, and it led to the next

2038
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:08,519
Speaker 2: three games, same problems, slow starts, playing from behind, trying

2039
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:10,639
Speaker 2: to climb back into a game. This was a problem

2040
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:16,160
Speaker 2: last year and it ultimately cost Ken Dorsey's job. You

2041
01:42:16,240 --> 01:42:20,439
Speaker 2: gotta hope it gets fixed and fixed quickly, because playing

2042
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:23,559
Speaker 2: from behind I think is a little more difficult for

2043
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:26,639
Speaker 2: this offense because they haven't put it all together yet.

2044
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:29,840
Speaker 2: Playing from behind on the scoreboard is harder for this

2045
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:33,479
Speaker 2: offense than the offensive crew of the previous couple of

2046
01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:39,920
Speaker 2: years for various reasons. One new parts, two younger parts,

2047
01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:45,080
Speaker 2: so less experience in deficit situations at this level, and

2048
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 2: separation ability reared its ugly head yesterday. I mean, the

2049
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 2: Texans are a team that plays man coverage thirty six

2050
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:56,160
Speaker 2: percent of the time. It's seventh highest in the league.

2051
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 2: Bill's carved up man coverage in Week three against Jacksonville

2052
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, could not do it yesterday in Houston.

2053
01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:06,280
Speaker 4: I think their best man beater as a wide receiver

2054
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:09,680
Speaker 4: is Khalil wasn't on the field, That's that's one thing.

2055
01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:18,040
Speaker 4: So they were hamstrung. And yeah, I just like I said,

2056
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 4: like I've been saying, I think they need to get

2057
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 4: healthy first and foremost. Even even though offensively they only

2058
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:27,360
Speaker 4: had one real guy at well, yeah, Khalil was the

2059
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 4: only guy out and defense had five guys out, and

2060
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:32,120
Speaker 4: their defense actually played pretty good after they got their

2061
01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:37,679
Speaker 4: feet under them. But man, oh man, uh, there's still

2062
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 4: a lot to like about where they're going and what

2063
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:40,760
Speaker 4: they can do, but they got to do it.

2064
01:43:40,800 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 3: I mean they can't.

2065
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:43,200
Speaker 2: They can't.

2066
01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't know that.

2067
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:48,920
Speaker 4: I'm totally willing to say they've settled into the mediocre

2068
01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:51,000
Speaker 4: range where they can't be good against a good team

2069
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:53,160
Speaker 4: and they're always really good against a bad team like

2070
01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:53,639
Speaker 4: the Dolphins.

2071
01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:57,160
Speaker 2: Too early for that, early for that, and if they

2072
01:43:57,320 --> 01:43:59,160
Speaker 2: and and look if they're if they don't even win

2073
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 2: this game this week, they're three and three. I mean,

2074
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:03,840
Speaker 2: for Ryan, it's disastrous because you fall out of first

2075
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 2: place in the AFC East. You've played six games, you

2076
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:10,120
Speaker 2: got eleven games left, and not to mention the fact

2077
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:12,920
Speaker 2: you have four division games left, so a lot can

2078
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:15,799
Speaker 2: happen between week six and week eighteen.

2079
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,080
Speaker 4: So one of the things you got to kind of

2080
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:19,840
Speaker 4: pin your hat on here too. I think if you're

2081
01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:22,200
Speaker 4: a Bills fan and you're kind of holding out hope

2082
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:25,960
Speaker 4: for this season, after they've lost two straight, you got

2083
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:28,240
Speaker 4: to think, Okay, the young guys are gonna get much better.

2084
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:30,479
Speaker 4: Their offense is going to start to focus in on

2085
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:33,639
Speaker 4: some guys that and instead of trying to feed nine

2086
01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:36,840
Speaker 4: guys on offense, they're gonna try and feed three or

2087
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:40,360
Speaker 4: four guys on offense and go with those guys, got

2088
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 4: a streamline, maybe that will help. But I think and

2089
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:45,679
Speaker 4: also that with the development of the young guys going forward,

2090
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:48,040
Speaker 4: they're gonna get better and better and better and everywhere

2091
01:44:48,040 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 4: wherever they are. Coleman's gonna get better, Bishop's gonna get better,

2092
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:52,639
Speaker 4: and all the rest of them, Javon, Solomon's gonna get better,

2093
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:53,800
Speaker 4: Carter's gonna get better.

2094
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:54,800
Speaker 3: They're all gonna get better.

2095
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:57,200
Speaker 4: So you kind of put a little hang your hat

2096
01:44:57,240 --> 01:45:00,000
Speaker 4: on that as well, along with the fact that maybe

2097
01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 4: they'll get some good guys healthy.

2098
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 2: Let's go to Fred in Rochester next. What do you

2099
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:04,080
Speaker 2: got Fred?

2100
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 22: Yeah, Hi, guys, thanks for taking the call. Sure, just

2101
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:15,679
Speaker 22: a couple of things. Number one, I really get Joe.

2102
01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:18,120
Speaker 22: I get a laugh out of these guys that are

2103
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:23,280
Speaker 22: are gonna throw Sean under the bus. Okay, you know

2104
01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:27,040
Speaker 22: it just it makes no sense, it doesn't I'm an

2105
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 22: old high school football coach, all right, coach for a

2106
01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:35,760
Speaker 22: lot of years, and I certainly wouldn't take the heat

2107
01:45:35,880 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 22: that he's taken. But I did take the heat from

2108
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:44,559
Speaker 22: a small towns because obviously I made didn't make stellar

2109
01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:45,639
Speaker 22: calls all the time.

2110
01:45:45,680 --> 01:45:47,880
Speaker 6: All right, but.

2111
01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 22: People running around with the hair on fire doesn't make

2112
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:56,920
Speaker 22: any sense. All right, Enough out of that Number two,

2113
01:45:57,400 --> 01:46:00,639
Speaker 22: these guys aren't playing against sinn Air. You know, there's

2114
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:02,880
Speaker 22: another football team out there that happens to be four

2115
01:46:02,920 --> 01:46:07,280
Speaker 22: and one, and they're pretty damn good, all right. So, yeah,

2116
01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:10,920
Speaker 22: did we make mistakes. Of course they made mistakes two, right,

2117
01:46:11,080 --> 01:46:14,719
Speaker 22: Like I said, they're a good football team, no question

2118
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:19,559
Speaker 22: about it. Number three John McDermott. And if you check

2119
01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 22: this out, I haven't done any real checking on it,

2120
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:25,679
Speaker 22: but I've watched enough games to know that this coach

2121
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 22: is probably the best coach that I've ever seen at

2122
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:33,719
Speaker 22: making halftime adjustments, all right. And he did it yesterday

2123
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:37,040
Speaker 22: even though they lost. Yep, the difference between the first

2124
01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:40,559
Speaker 22: half and Brownie. You can attest to this because you

2125
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:42,880
Speaker 22: did the game, the difference between the first half and

2126
01:46:42,920 --> 01:46:46,920
Speaker 22: the second half. They didn't win the game, but they

2127
01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:50,200
Speaker 22: switched everything around, okay, and he did it with five

2128
01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:53,360
Speaker 22: people not on his defense. He's a defensive coach, I

2129
01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:58,160
Speaker 22: understand that, but he makes very good halftime adjustments.

2130
01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:01,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. They outscored him to six in the second half,

2131
01:47:02,200 --> 01:47:04,920
Speaker 2: and C. J. Stroud's passer rating went from one forty

2132
01:47:05,240 --> 01:47:07,559
Speaker 2: eight in the first half to sixty eight in the

2133
01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:08,160
Speaker 2: second half.

2134
01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:12,439
Speaker 22: Exactly that. And this is that wasn't just one case.

2135
01:47:12,800 --> 01:47:16,640
Speaker 22: He's done this a lot this coach. This coach is

2136
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:21,000
Speaker 22: a very very good halftime adjustment coach. And I think

2137
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:24,920
Speaker 22: if people check into it, they'll see that that's right.

2138
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 11: Okay.

2139
01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:28,400
Speaker 22: Again, another thing, and I don't want to take too

2140
01:47:28,439 --> 01:47:30,280
Speaker 22: much more time because I know you got guys involved.

2141
01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:33,559
Speaker 22: Dawson Knox has got to be more involved, all right,

2142
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:36,880
Speaker 22: There's no question about it. He was before these other

2143
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:40,479
Speaker 22: guys came. He was a major component to this offense.

2144
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:45,800
Speaker 22: He's got to be put back in all right. Number five,

2145
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:49,840
Speaker 22: the offense has got to be much more proactive, and

2146
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 22: instead of being reactive, they've lost that like dictate to

2147
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 22: the opponent exactly exactly. Okay, that might have been hard, yes,

2148
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:02,479
Speaker 22: but again they're not playing against finn Air again, right,

2149
01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:06,840
Speaker 22: but they have to do that. So I think what

2150
01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:08,920
Speaker 22: they've got to work on. The OCA has got to

2151
01:48:08,960 --> 01:48:12,720
Speaker 22: take a little more responsibility. He does shouldn't lose his job,

2152
01:48:12,720 --> 01:48:15,680
Speaker 22: but he needs to take more responsibility. The scheme has

2153
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:19,479
Speaker 22: to be much more razor sharp, and the QB has

2154
01:48:19,520 --> 01:48:22,040
Speaker 22: got to be much more at Yeah, all right, all right,

2155
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:24,719
Speaker 22: I'll let you guys talk.

2156
01:48:24,840 --> 01:48:28,360
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks Fred, appreciate the call there. Yeah, I

2157
01:48:28,360 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 2: mean I agree with a lot of that. You know.

2158
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:35,479
Speaker 2: I was just referencing last year and some of the

2159
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:39,360
Speaker 2: offensive problems that they had last year. Slow starts, everything

2160
01:48:39,400 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 2: looked like a heavy lift. Remember we talk about that

2161
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:44,799
Speaker 2: all the time. It felt like that the last two weeks.

2162
01:48:45,160 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 2: Slow starts and everything looked like a heavy lift. Executing

2163
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:52,439
Speaker 2: a stream looked like a monumental thing, like pushing a

2164
01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:54,960
Speaker 2: boulder up the hill, and it shouldn't look like that.

2165
01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:58,479
Speaker 2: When I was getting ready to do the broadcast for

2166
01:48:58,520 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 2: this game, I watch some of the Texans earlier games

2167
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:04,680
Speaker 2: this season, one against the Minnesota Vikings. You want to

2168
01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:06,679
Speaker 2: talk about a team that's buttoned up, and you can

2169
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:10,879
Speaker 2: visually see the difference. It's the Minnesota Vikings. On offense.

2170
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 2: They are sharp out of the huddle, sharp at the

2171
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:17,800
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, sharp with their blocking, sharp with their

2172
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:20,400
Speaker 2: blicks pick up, sharp on their routes, sharp on their

2173
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:24,720
Speaker 2: drop back and delivery of the football. They are a

2174
01:49:24,760 --> 01:49:27,960
Speaker 2: buttoned up operation and it's a big reason why they're

2175
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:30,639
Speaker 2: five and oh you gotta sweat the details. And I'm

2176
01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:33,280
Speaker 2: talking to the players now on this. You gotta sweat

2177
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:36,160
Speaker 2: all those details all the time. I don't know this

2178
01:49:36,360 --> 01:49:38,080
Speaker 2: and that I don't know this for a fact that

2179
01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 2: it happened. But I think that three and oh start

2180
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:43,759
Speaker 2: was a little bit of fool's gold for the players

2181
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 2: in that locker room, especially some of the younger players

2182
01:49:46,560 --> 01:49:48,360
Speaker 2: who haven't been through a lot of the ups and

2183
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:51,440
Speaker 2: downs and trials and tribulations that this team has experienced

2184
01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 2: over the last five or six years. And I wonder

2185
01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:58,200
Speaker 2: if it made them just ever so slightly complacent. And

2186
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:02,120
Speaker 2: once it turns on you, it's hard to get it back.

2187
01:50:02,200 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'll say this too, they've made a concerted

2188
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 4: let's They've made a concerted effort to take some of

2189
01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:10,960
Speaker 4: the burden off of Josh Allen and his ability to

2190
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 4: just run. Called quarterback runs are rarity now because they

2191
01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:18,080
Speaker 4: run the ball so well with Cook and Ty Johnson

2192
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:24,080
Speaker 4: and Ray Davis. It's they don't do that anymore. The

2193
01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:27,200
Speaker 4: offense has evolved and they we kind of all expected

2194
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:33,919
Speaker 4: it to. But I do believe, like like Ray said, yeah,

2195
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:35,479
Speaker 4: you can pick whatever guys you want.

2196
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:35,800
Speaker 3: You want.

2197
01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:38,160
Speaker 4: Knocks to be more involved, get him back in. That's fine,

2198
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:40,960
Speaker 4: that's fine what they need to do. And because everybody's

2199
01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 4: saying they bringing another guy, Listen, we got like nine

2200
01:50:43,240 --> 01:50:45,240
Speaker 4: guys in the room and we had like and it

2201
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:47,439
Speaker 4: was a big deal. Remember when when they beat Miami

2202
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:52,000
Speaker 4: and when they beat Arizona, when they beat Jacksonville, Like

2203
01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:55,599
Speaker 4: everybody on the roster was catching passes. That may be

2204
01:50:56,320 --> 01:51:00,800
Speaker 4: not the way to sustain your offensive production. You might

2205
01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:02,760
Speaker 4: want to hone in on some guys and give and

2206
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:04,439
Speaker 4: let them know that they're gonna be a big part

2207
01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:06,080
Speaker 4: of it so that they know they're gonna.

2208
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:06,639
Speaker 3: Have to keep going.

2209
01:51:07,360 --> 01:51:11,640
Speaker 4: Right now, it strikes me that some of these, you know,

2210
01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:14,640
Speaker 4: like Keon Coleman, and then nobody's ever running offense like

2211
01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:17,280
Speaker 4: in this offense, Like Keon's brand new to this whole thing.

2212
01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:20,000
Speaker 4: He doesn't know when he's he saw the ball bump

2213
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:21,200
Speaker 4: pop off his helmet.

2214
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:22,320
Speaker 2: He he didn't get the check.

2215
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:27,519
Speaker 4: It's hard to run like you're the main guy when

2216
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:28,719
Speaker 4: nobody's the main guy.

2217
01:51:29,120 --> 01:51:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you don't know that you're gonna you're.

2218
01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 2: A streamline and put the onus on them, so they're

2219
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:35,720
Speaker 2: more investigating what's gonna happen. I don't know that.

2220
01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 4: Anybody is expecting the ball. And I'm not using Keon

2221
01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:40,519
Speaker 4: Coleman that thing off the back of that's That's not

2222
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:43,040
Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. I'm talking about in your mind,

2223
01:51:44,439 --> 01:51:46,840
Speaker 4: not being confident that you're even on the at the

2224
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:50,000
Speaker 4: top of Josh's thought process. There's so many guys for

2225
01:51:50,080 --> 01:51:52,560
Speaker 4: Josh to look at. These guys are out there. You know,

2226
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 4: they're not running with a confidence that says I'm getting

2227
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:56,800
Speaker 4: open because he's gonna throw me the ball if I do.

2228
01:51:57,680 --> 01:52:00,519
Speaker 2: Let's go to Chuck in Hamburg next. Let me pull

2229
01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:01,960
Speaker 2: him up here. What do you have for us, Juck?

2230
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:05,920
Speaker 6: Well, I'd like to thank you for taking my call,

2231
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:10,120
Speaker 6: but I know you guys enjoy talking to me. But anyway, Chris,

2232
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:13,640
Speaker 6: you got to understand NFL and the Bills are in

2233
01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:16,760
Speaker 6: the entertainment business. And if you weren't entertained by that

2234
01:52:16,840 --> 01:52:20,280
Speaker 6: game yesterday, I don't know what kind of fan you were.

2235
01:52:20,640 --> 01:52:25,639
Speaker 6: That was an extremely exciting game. And it's like, you know,

2236
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:28,920
Speaker 6: Steve going into rosies and they be it out of

2237
01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:33,880
Speaker 6: your favorite ice cream. You're still disappointed, but you're still

2238
01:52:33,880 --> 01:52:36,840
Speaker 6: glad you're there because of the great product. They put

2239
01:52:36,880 --> 01:52:40,000
Speaker 6: on just like the Bills, they put a great product

2240
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:43,040
Speaker 6: down the field. If you can't enjoy the football game,

2241
01:52:43,160 --> 01:52:46,120
Speaker 6: I know it's disappointing to lose in the last couple seconds,

2242
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:50,280
Speaker 6: but it was an entertaining game, and these guys loved

2243
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:54,479
Speaker 6: playing for these coaches. Rick from ken Mark, and forget

2244
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:57,720
Speaker 6: about getting rid of the coaches, he's nuts.

2245
01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate it. Well, yeah, I appreciate the call, Chuck.

2246
01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:03,519
Speaker 4: And I did say that. Yet I said that to

2247
01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:06,120
Speaker 4: the to the one of the five presidents yesterday. I said,

2248
01:53:06,120 --> 01:53:10,080
Speaker 4: you know, I was, we were bumming. I was like, man, though,

2249
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:12,519
Speaker 4: what a great what a game, you know, And to

2250
01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:16,400
Speaker 4: have it come down to that clock management and that

2251
01:53:16,600 --> 01:53:18,960
Speaker 4: stuff going on with it, it's like, oh my god.

2252
01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:23,720
Speaker 4: You know, certainly you would rather have it flipped the

2253
01:53:23,720 --> 01:53:26,040
Speaker 4: other way for Bills fans. But think think of what.

2254
01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:29,800
Speaker 3: The Texans fans feel like today. Goodness gracious, beating that.

2255
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:33,200
Speaker 4: Team in their yard in a game like that where

2256
01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:35,400
Speaker 4: it looked like they were gonna we're not gonna win it.

2257
01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:37,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

2258
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:39,920
Speaker 4: Yes, it's very That's why the game, that's why the

2259
01:53:40,040 --> 01:53:43,840
Speaker 4: NFL is the eight hundred pound gorilla. But when you

2260
01:53:43,880 --> 01:53:46,440
Speaker 4: start being a fan of a team, you start expecting

2261
01:53:46,439 --> 01:53:48,599
Speaker 4: things from them, and when you don't get it, you're

2262
01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:50,439
Speaker 4: bummed and you want to know why, and you want

2263
01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:52,040
Speaker 4: to see why. You want to see him fixed stuff,

2264
01:53:52,040 --> 01:53:56,320
Speaker 4: and you want to blame somebody, and you know that's

2265
01:53:56,640 --> 01:53:59,439
Speaker 4: that's part of it. So this is this is all natural,

2266
01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:01,280
Speaker 4: and we're gonna this isn't the last time. We're gonna

2267
01:54:01,320 --> 01:54:04,240
Speaker 4: have a bad Monday this season. Let's just hope that

2268
01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:06,720
Speaker 4: we can get back in the win column before too long,

2269
01:54:06,760 --> 01:54:10,639
Speaker 4: particularly this week. This game, I don't know, I will

2270
01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:13,360
Speaker 4: turn the page probably tomorrow or the next day start

2271
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 4: talking about.

2272
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:14,800
Speaker 3: The Jets exclusively.

2273
01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:18,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, I've got I've got a little baggage to

2274
01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:20,840
Speaker 4: bring to this game myself, and I'm sure most Bills

2275
01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:21,240
Speaker 4: fans do.

2276
01:54:22,240 --> 01:54:27,280
Speaker 2: Let's go to Adam and Williamsville next. What's up Adam?

2277
01:54:27,439 --> 01:54:27,559
Speaker 11: Hey?

2278
01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:28,639
Speaker 23: Yeah, you guys doing today?

2279
01:54:28,760 --> 01:54:29,000
Speaker 2: Good?

2280
01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:31,679
Speaker 11: Good?

2281
01:54:31,680 --> 01:54:32,000
Speaker 22: All right?

2282
01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:33,880
Speaker 23: I just want to bring this up, but I think

2283
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:35,840
Speaker 23: we should be talking about some injuries here. And I

2284
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:38,480
Speaker 23: don't know, I mean, I know that we're plagued with

2285
01:54:38,520 --> 01:54:42,800
Speaker 23: injuries throughout the team here, but Josh still having his

2286
01:54:42,880 --> 01:54:45,480
Speaker 23: hand wrapped obviously, that's a little bit more serious. Than

2287
01:54:45,760 --> 01:54:48,280
Speaker 23: he led us on to believe here and and if

2288
01:54:49,360 --> 01:54:51,800
Speaker 23: maybe it was just me, but last night him hitting

2289
01:54:51,840 --> 01:54:53,800
Speaker 23: the field like that with his hat, look like you

2290
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 23: got a little concussion.

2291
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:55,120
Speaker 5: Maybe not.

2292
01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:59,280
Speaker 23: Maybe they're not gonna, you know, address it. Maybe we'll

2293
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:00,880
Speaker 23: come back to Hannison at some point and they do

2294
01:55:00,880 --> 01:55:03,920
Speaker 23: an investigation. I don't know, but I mean he comes

2295
01:55:03,920 --> 01:55:06,560
Speaker 23: out of the tent and Trubisky Tarbisky, he's he's in

2296
01:55:06,600 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 23: the red zone ready to go on the second down there?

2297
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:11,240
Speaker 23: Why did he just let it play out? So I

2298
01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 23: just wanted to hear your opinion on that. I also

2299
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:15,240
Speaker 23: wanted to hear your thoughts on how many times are

2300
01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:17,240
Speaker 23: we gonn listen to McDermott, you know, at the podium

2301
01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:18,480
Speaker 23: and I say, you know, this is this is this

2302
01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:20,080
Speaker 23: was on me and we got to do better and

2303
01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:22,360
Speaker 23: be better. I mean, we're gonna we're gonna be talking

2304
01:55:22,360 --> 01:55:24,240
Speaker 23: about this halfway through the season. Why an't we gonna

2305
01:55:24,280 --> 01:55:26,560
Speaker 23: turn and look to maybe a Bill Belichick or just

2306
01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:28,920
Speaker 23: I'm just throwing that out there, right, But how long

2307
01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:32,880
Speaker 23: do we do we let these situations go? So I'll

2308
01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:34,560
Speaker 23: hang up here and hear your thoughts on that.

2309
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:36,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'll say this too. A lot and a

2310
01:55:36,320 --> 01:55:40,600
Speaker 4: lot of people throw this right at Sean McDermott. I

2311
01:55:40,600 --> 01:55:44,120
Speaker 4: don't necessarily do that. Certainly he's responsible for it. But

2312
01:55:46,200 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 4: when you're a head coach, particularly a defensive head coach,

2313
01:55:52,080 --> 01:55:55,480
Speaker 4: I mean he could. I'm probably sure maybe he did,

2314
01:55:56,280 --> 01:56:01,640
Speaker 4: but get on the headset and say it here, don't

2315
01:56:01,720 --> 01:56:05,360
Speaker 4: don't throw it, do this, don't do that. Give the

2316
01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:09,000
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator some instruction on what you want out of that,

2317
01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:12,600
Speaker 4: out of that series. And I'm sure he probably he

2318
01:56:12,680 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 4: was on the headset. I'm sure he said something. He

2319
01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:17,560
Speaker 4: might have said, you can do what you want on

2320
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:19,280
Speaker 4: first down. See if you can get a drive starter,

2321
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:21,520
Speaker 4: that's fine. And then I don't know what the conversation

2322
01:56:21,680 --> 01:56:26,280
Speaker 4: was like. But nevertheless, if you're going to be a

2323
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:28,600
Speaker 4: head coach and you want your coordinators to be their best,

2324
01:56:28,640 --> 01:56:31,400
Speaker 4: you got to give him some freedom, and you know

2325
01:56:31,680 --> 01:56:35,440
Speaker 4: that you're responsible for their mistakes, for their good stuff,

2326
01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:38,320
Speaker 4: for their bad stuff. Don't forget Joe Brady called three

2327
01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:43,520
Speaker 4: straight pass plays. I have a hard time thinking if

2328
01:56:43,520 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 4: Sean McDermott's on the headset calling the offensive plays that

2329
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:50,960
Speaker 4: he's calling three straight pass plays.

2330
01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:53,280
Speaker 3: Now he could say, don't do that.

2331
01:56:54,720 --> 01:56:57,920
Speaker 4: But I think even even somebody who's you know, not

2332
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:00,560
Speaker 4: well versed in group dynamics can understand what that would

2333
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:03,520
Speaker 4: do to his coaching and how that makes that relationship

2334
01:57:03,840 --> 01:57:06,560
Speaker 4: telling him what to do when it you know, now,

2335
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:08,520
Speaker 4: maybe he should have. Obviously he should have, because we

2336
01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:10,960
Speaker 4: should have done something different than they did. But that

2337
01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:13,080
Speaker 4: you're looking and you get you get a peek into

2338
01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:16,160
Speaker 4: the dynamics of what a pro football team is like.

2339
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:22,880
Speaker 4: You got head coaches that that hammer their coordinators and

2340
01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:25,040
Speaker 4: tell them what to do, when to do it, and

2341
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:27,240
Speaker 4: how to do it. And you've got other guys who.

2342
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:31,760
Speaker 2: Lead, you know so, or try to empower them or.

2343
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:32,960
Speaker 3: Empower their coordinators.

2344
01:57:32,960 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 4: But I'll say this, Sean mcdermom, whether you like what

2345
01:57:36,600 --> 01:57:40,160
Speaker 4: happened or not, Sean mcdermot's the guy standing up there

2346
01:57:40,200 --> 01:57:41,640
Speaker 4: at the end of the day saying this is on me,

2347
01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:45,480
Speaker 4: not his coordinator, not the guy he didn't call the place.

2348
01:57:46,080 --> 01:57:47,720
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna tell you, do you want to

2349
01:57:47,720 --> 01:57:49,760
Speaker 2: know what that does as far as group dynamics goes.

2350
01:57:50,880 --> 01:57:54,680
Speaker 2: You got an offensive coordinator who feels awful as to

2351
01:57:54,680 --> 01:57:55,480
Speaker 2: how the game.

2352
01:57:55,520 --> 01:57:59,960
Speaker 4: The same offensive coordinator who called the trick play against Baltimore.

2353
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:02,120
Speaker 2: Right, and his head coach is going up there and

2354
01:58:02,160 --> 01:58:06,080
Speaker 2: taking all the heat for his play calls. You don't

2355
01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:08,160
Speaker 2: think that guy's doubling down this week, You don't think

2356
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:11,600
Speaker 2: think Yeah, you don't think Joe Brady next week. Yeah,

2357
01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:13,760
Speaker 2: you don't think Joe Brady's got skin in this game now.

2358
01:58:14,280 --> 01:58:16,360
Speaker 2: So I'm you can say what you want about And

2359
01:58:16,400 --> 01:58:19,720
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott is responsible, no question. But you know he

2360
01:58:19,720 --> 01:58:22,120
Speaker 2: doesn't call the offensive plays, but he's taking a hit

2361
01:58:22,200 --> 01:58:25,480
Speaker 2: for it, and you know, so that's you can get.

2362
01:58:25,560 --> 01:58:27,800
Speaker 2: It gives you a peek into how difficult it is

2363
01:58:27,880 --> 01:58:29,680
Speaker 2: in that moment when you're trying to win a game

2364
01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:32,760
Speaker 2: that all this stuff's going on, and McDermott has the

2365
01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:34,200
Speaker 2: strength of character or whatever.

2366
01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:36,440
Speaker 4: Maybe you can call it idiots. You can call him

2367
01:58:36,440 --> 01:58:40,920
Speaker 4: a lunatic an idiot for trusting one of his coordinators

2368
01:58:41,360 --> 01:58:42,080
Speaker 4: that he hired.

2369
01:58:43,360 --> 01:58:44,320
Speaker 3: Do anything you want.

2370
01:58:44,400 --> 01:58:46,520
Speaker 4: But that's a guy that's standing there empowering the guy

2371
01:58:46,520 --> 01:58:48,400
Speaker 4: to saying, listen, I know you had a rough week

2372
01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:51,200
Speaker 4: last week when you called a reversed flea flick or

2373
01:58:51,280 --> 01:58:53,680
Speaker 4: pass in our backfield that blew up in our face.

2374
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:56,440
Speaker 4: But I got faith in you here you go do

2375
01:58:56,520 --> 01:58:59,040
Speaker 4: what you want, make this call, get us out of

2376
01:58:59,040 --> 01:59:02,160
Speaker 4: this jam, and it blew up in his face again

2377
01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:05,360
Speaker 4: and he's up there and then after the game he's

2378
01:59:05,440 --> 01:59:07,400
Speaker 4: up there at the podium saying, listen, this is on me.

2379
01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 4: That's my fault. I should have done we should have

2380
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:12,320
Speaker 4: run the ball, that all that stuff. You know that

2381
01:59:13,320 --> 01:59:16,080
Speaker 4: if you can take a deep breath as a Bills

2382
01:59:16,120 --> 01:59:18,920
Speaker 4: fan for a minute, and you know from a head

2383
01:59:18,920 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 4: coach who is you know, get getting punched is a

2384
01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:25,400
Speaker 4: punching bag today, take a step back and think about

2385
01:59:25,400 --> 01:59:27,920
Speaker 4: the group dyman Namis and the man and the staff

2386
01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:30,920
Speaker 4: and the two hundred and fifty people that are looking

2387
01:59:30,920 --> 01:59:33,120
Speaker 4: to him for leadership, and what it says about it,

2388
01:59:33,160 --> 01:59:36,160
Speaker 4: what he's willing to do for those people, and how

2389
01:59:36,200 --> 01:59:38,160
Speaker 4: hard they're going to work for him in that in

2390
01:59:38,200 --> 01:59:41,000
Speaker 4: the light of what he just did for them. So

2391
01:59:42,240 --> 01:59:44,120
Speaker 4: you can say he should have done this and this

2392
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:48,400
Speaker 4: and this, but by doing so, he takes control from

2393
01:59:48,440 --> 01:59:50,760
Speaker 4: people who he's trusted with it up to that point.

2394
01:59:51,600 --> 01:59:53,520
Speaker 4: And he even did it from a guy who took

2395
01:59:53,560 --> 01:59:58,800
Speaker 4: a who was a punching bag last week. So you

2396
01:59:58,840 --> 02:00:03,200
Speaker 4: can understand now the twenty thousand layers there are to

2397
02:00:03,320 --> 02:00:06,000
Speaker 4: get in a football team to win a game in

2398
02:00:06,040 --> 02:00:09,200
Speaker 4: the last couple of minutes when it's tight, and all

2399
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:13,840
Speaker 4: the nuance that goes into that. It's that's why this

2400
02:00:13,960 --> 02:00:17,480
Speaker 4: game is the best game there is all that's going on,

2401
02:00:17,560 --> 02:00:20,320
Speaker 4: and we get to watch it and we're and we

2402
02:00:20,440 --> 02:00:23,000
Speaker 4: got all of us Bill san has skin in that game,

2403
02:00:23,120 --> 02:00:25,600
Speaker 4: and it blew up in all of our faces yesterday

2404
02:00:26,080 --> 02:00:28,680
Speaker 4: and it's done that and we've done it before. But

2405
02:00:29,680 --> 02:00:32,080
Speaker 4: all of the stuff that gives Sean McDermott either And

2406
02:00:32,120 --> 02:00:33,800
Speaker 4: I know there's snark out there and you're saying that

2407
02:00:33,920 --> 02:00:37,640
Speaker 4: he's a he's a dummy for doing it that way,

2408
02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:41,360
Speaker 4: but think about the people who work with him and

2409
02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:43,360
Speaker 4: for him and what they think about him up there

2410
02:00:43,480 --> 02:00:46,960
Speaker 4: after the game saying that's my fault. And you'll see

2411
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:49,720
Speaker 4: how the motivating, how motivated they will be going forward

2412
02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:51,960
Speaker 4: because he's doing that and because he had the faith

2413
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:53,160
Speaker 4: in them to do it in the first place.

2414
02:00:53,320 --> 02:00:55,360
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here, more of your phone calls.

2415
02:00:55,360 --> 02:00:57,520
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll get to Bobby who to

2416
02:00:57,600 --> 02:01:00,000
Speaker 2: lead us off when we return here on one Bill's Lives,

2417

Speaker 2: Brown Steve Tasker with you're gonna jump right back on

2419
02:01:20,720 --> 02:01:22,560

2420
02:01:22,600 --> 02:01:25,160
Speaker 2: or three oh five fifty, And as promised, we lead

2421
02:01:25,200 --> 02:01:27,280
Speaker 2: off with Bobby in Buffalo. What's up? Bobby?

2422
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:31,960
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, how y'all doing today? Good? Good, good, good good.

2423
02:01:32,280 --> 02:01:36,400
Speaker 11: Listen the couple of things, well, a few things I

2424
02:01:36,400 --> 02:01:39,120
Speaker 11: got to say is, first of all, number one, you know,

2425
02:01:39,800 --> 02:01:43,600
Speaker 11: I do I do appreciate. I do appreciate how the

2426
02:01:43,640 --> 02:01:47,800
Speaker 11: Bills came back on Houston yesterday. You know, I do

2427
02:01:47,880 --> 02:01:52,480
Speaker 11: appreciate the comeback and that that's number one. But uh

2428
02:01:53,120 --> 02:01:56,880
Speaker 11: but I think the the main thing is this. You know,

2429
02:01:57,400 --> 02:02:02,560
Speaker 11: I'll preach these two words about this team all the time.

2430
02:02:03,240 --> 02:02:08,480
Speaker 11: Number one consistency and number two a sense of urgency.

2431
02:02:09,240 --> 02:02:11,800
Speaker 11: And that's what the Bills need. They need to be

2432
02:02:11,960 --> 02:02:16,760
Speaker 11: more consistent, and they need more of a sense of urgency. Okay,

2433
02:02:17,080 --> 02:02:21,800
Speaker 11: And first and well, guys, answer me this question. How

2434
02:02:21,840 --> 02:02:25,760
Speaker 11: would you think how would you think the Buffalo Bills

2435
02:02:25,840 --> 02:02:30,280
Speaker 11: offense would operate if if Josh Allen called his own

2436
02:02:30,320 --> 02:02:35,960
Speaker 11: plays Dave you guys a head scratcher, think about that.

2437
02:02:36,080 --> 02:02:38,000
Speaker 4: I don't have any idea what's your what's your take

2438
02:02:38,080 --> 02:02:39,240
Speaker 4: on that? How would you answer it?

2439
02:02:40,800 --> 02:02:46,280
Speaker 11: Well, well, well, this just like uh, just like back

2440
02:02:46,320 --> 02:02:48,880
Speaker 11: in the day and uh and uh, Steve Casker, you

2441
02:02:48,880 --> 02:02:51,440
Speaker 11: will agree with me on this, just like back in

2442
02:02:51,480 --> 02:02:54,560
Speaker 11: the day when Mark Leedy was coaching, and uh, Jim

2443
02:02:54,640 --> 02:02:57,080
Speaker 11: Kelly called his own plays. And I believe that uh

2444
02:02:57,640 --> 02:03:00,440
Speaker 11: uh it was called the k gun offense if I'm

2445
02:03:00,480 --> 02:03:03,040
Speaker 11: not if if if I'm correct or not, it was

2446
02:03:03,120 --> 02:03:06,800
Speaker 11: called the k gun offense. And listen, Jim, Jim Kelly

2447
02:03:06,920 --> 02:03:11,920
Speaker 11: was responsible for everything that went on that field. Now,

2448
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:13,480
Speaker 11: am I corrector incorrect?

2449
02:03:14,600 --> 02:03:16,720
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, Jim called his own plays.

2450
02:03:16,800 --> 02:03:20,800
Speaker 11: Yeah right, he was responsible for everything that went on

2451
02:03:20,880 --> 02:03:24,760
Speaker 11: that field. Now tell me how would how would listen,

2452
02:03:25,160 --> 02:03:28,360
Speaker 11: how would Josh Allen feel if he was placed in

2453
02:03:28,480 --> 02:03:32,400
Speaker 11: that position of calling his own plays?

2454
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:34,920
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know, he'd probably feel a lot more responsibility,

2455
02:03:34,920 --> 02:03:35,480
Speaker 4: don't you think?

2456
02:03:36,440 --> 02:03:40,800
Speaker 11: Oh? Oh yes, absolutely absolutely. But the thing about it

2457
02:03:40,840 --> 02:03:43,960
Speaker 11: is this, listen, now they got now they got the mentality.

2458
02:03:44,280 --> 02:03:48,240
Speaker 11: Now they have that. Now they have that. Everybody eats mentality. Yeah,

2459
02:03:48,280 --> 02:03:50,920
Speaker 11: that's good and all that, that's good and all. But

2460
02:03:50,960 --> 02:03:55,360
Speaker 11: guess what, though, Guess what, as long as everybody eats.

2461
02:03:55,640 --> 02:03:57,920
Speaker 11: Everybody need to be more consistent.

2462
02:03:58,720 --> 02:04:02,520
Speaker 2: All right, listen, and I would tend to agree with you, Bobby,

2463
02:04:02,520 --> 02:04:05,200
Speaker 2: because what we've been saying today is you got a

2464
02:04:05,240 --> 02:04:08,400
Speaker 2: streamline who you're throwing to in the passing game. And

2465
02:04:08,520 --> 02:04:11,600
Speaker 2: to me, that means more snaps for James Cook, Dalton

2466
02:04:11,640 --> 02:04:15,320
Speaker 2: comes Maid khalilshak here, and maybe Saws and Knox and

2467
02:04:15,360 --> 02:04:18,360
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman and everybody else can take the table scraps

2468
02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:20,160
Speaker 2: after that. Based on what we've seen through the first

2469
02:04:20,200 --> 02:04:21,240
Speaker 2: five games, that's true.

2470
02:04:21,520 --> 02:04:24,240
Speaker 11: That's true. And one more thing, and one more thing, guys,

2471
02:04:24,280 --> 02:04:27,160
Speaker 11: and one more thing. I want to intererrate guys about

2472
02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:32,839
Speaker 11: about about about about the coach. Listen, Uh, Buffalo Bill's fans.

2473
02:04:32,880 --> 02:04:35,880
Speaker 11: I want to say you, guys, this every Buffalo Bill's

2474
02:04:35,920 --> 02:04:38,560
Speaker 11: fan across the city of Buffalo. I want to sell

2475
02:04:38,600 --> 02:04:42,480

2476
02:04:43,200 --> 02:04:47,800
Speaker 11: Don't get me wrong. Listen, great great coaches. Listen. Great

2477
02:04:47,840 --> 02:04:53,040
Speaker 11: coaches make mistakes. Great coaches make mistakes. And if you listen,

2478
02:04:53,280 --> 02:04:56,640
Speaker 11: you want to know why to go down to Kansas

2479
02:04:56,720 --> 02:04:59,280
Speaker 11: City and ask Andy Reid how many mistakes he made

2480
02:04:59,400 --> 02:05:00,760
Speaker 11: before he will the Super Bowl.

2481
02:05:01,120 --> 02:05:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, Bobby, thanks very much. We got to

2482
02:05:03,680 --> 02:05:06,480
Speaker 2: move along. You got other people on hold here, so

2483
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:08,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna let me see who's been waiting the longest.

2484
02:05:08,800 --> 02:05:14,280
Speaker 2: We go to Kyle in Depew. What's up, Kyle, Kyle,

2485
02:05:14,320 --> 02:05:14,800
Speaker 2: are you there?

2486
02:05:16,080 --> 02:05:18,400
Speaker 8: This is Carl. This is Carl.

2487
02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:22,520
Speaker 2: You're up, Carl? Okay, sorry about that, just using what's.

2488
02:05:22,360 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 8: The let then it sounds like we got way too

2489
02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:31,760
Speaker 8: many Monday morning quarterbacks there. Okay, and they want to

2490
02:05:31,800 --> 02:05:35,880
Speaker 8: talk about McDermott. Let me tell you something. He's on

2491
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:39,240
Speaker 8: the open market. He'd last about fifteen seconds. He isn't

2492
02:05:39,280 --> 02:05:43,360
Speaker 8: going nowhere. And we got people don't realize that coordinators

2493
02:05:43,360 --> 02:05:47,680
Speaker 8: are relatively new. Okay, there's gonna be a lot of mistakes,

2494
02:05:47,960 --> 02:05:50,960
Speaker 8: but that just on them. Don't blame them. The offensive

2495
02:05:50,960 --> 02:05:53,960
Speaker 8: line has not showed up for the last two weeks.

2496
02:05:55,000 --> 02:06:00,120
Speaker 8: They played horrendous. Our receivers aren't aren't getting separate, and

2497
02:06:00,280 --> 02:06:05,120
Speaker 8: that's not helping us any So, uh, I mean, there's

2498
02:06:05,240 --> 02:06:09,280
Speaker 8: enough blame to go around. But this team will win

2499
02:06:09,360 --> 02:06:12,320
Speaker 8: in New York and they will win the East and

2500
02:06:12,400 --> 02:06:15,839
Speaker 8: people just got to take a chill and just relax

2501
02:06:15,920 --> 02:06:20,320
Speaker 8: a little bit. They're gonna they'll straighten it out. That's uh.

2502
02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:23,480
Speaker 8: I have no doubt about that. And McDermott will get

2503
02:06:23,520 --> 02:06:26,760
Speaker 8: it straightened out. And you know they I know they

2504
02:06:26,800 --> 02:06:32,280
Speaker 8: want his head because of yesterday, but he don't get

2505
02:06:32,640 --> 02:06:36,440
Speaker 8: the blame. One or two plays don't make the whole game, Okay.

2506
02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:39,400
Speaker 8: And the only other thing that the only other thing

2507
02:06:39,440 --> 02:06:42,360
Speaker 8: that I see that I think we can really improve

2508
02:06:42,440 --> 02:06:45,400
Speaker 8: on is we just don't seem to make the adjustments

2509
02:06:45,480 --> 02:06:49,960
Speaker 8: quick enough. Right, We got an offense and defense, we

2510
02:06:50,240 --> 02:06:51,640
Speaker 8: just don't adjust quick enough.

2511
02:06:51,840 --> 02:06:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that might be that might go right to

2512
02:06:54,280 --> 02:06:57,160
Speaker 2: your point, Carl about the young coordinators who are kind

2513
02:06:57,160 --> 02:06:58,320
Speaker 2: of learning on the fly here.

2514
02:06:59,400 --> 02:07:00,400
Speaker 8: That's what I think.

2515
02:07:00,840 --> 02:07:03,480
Speaker 4: All right, Thanks Carl, appreciate it. Yeah, And there's a yeah,

2516
02:07:03,600 --> 02:07:06,959
Speaker 4: you're kind of echoing a little bit of our sentiments

2517
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:09,240
Speaker 4: here today as we kind of plow through the our

2518
02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:14,360
Speaker 4: our plow through our feelings about yesterday and what was

2519
02:07:14,400 --> 02:07:15,440
Speaker 4: said before and after.

2520
02:07:15,760 --> 02:07:20,640
Speaker 3: Uh. Yeah, they got to play better upfront offensively, no question. Uh.

2521
02:07:20,680 --> 02:07:24,520
Speaker 4: And both coordinators while they do seem to get it

2522
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:27,760
Speaker 4: together in a big way, like in the comeback against well,

2523
02:07:27,760 --> 02:07:29,920
Speaker 4: they had a chance there in Baltimore before you know,

2524
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:32,880
Speaker 4: before the reverse pass and then they had yesterday, they

2525
02:07:32,920 --> 02:07:35,160
Speaker 4: got back in tied the game up. After just getting

2526
02:07:35,160 --> 02:07:37,720
Speaker 4: their heads handed to them for most of the first half,

2527
02:07:38,120 --> 02:07:39,720
Speaker 4: they got back in and tied the game up.

2528
02:07:40,240 --> 02:07:40,320
Speaker 11: Uh.

2529
02:07:40,440 --> 02:07:43,280
Speaker 4: They did the same thing in the Arizona game early

2530
02:07:43,280 --> 02:07:48,240
Speaker 4: in the season, both offensively and defensively. These staffs really

2531
02:07:48,320 --> 02:07:50,120
Speaker 4: seem to get it together once they get into the

2532
02:07:50,120 --> 02:07:53,160
Speaker 4: game and see and dissect what's going on out there.

2533
02:07:54,040 --> 02:07:57,200
Speaker 4: We would love to see it a little faster, no

2534
02:07:57,360 --> 02:08:02,080
Speaker 4: question about it. And Uh, now you go back to

2535
02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:05,280
Speaker 4: the Baltimore game, there's not much you can do when

2536
02:08:05,400 --> 02:08:08,200
Speaker 4: the first play from scrimmage goes, you know, seventy nine

2537
02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:09,480
Speaker 4: yards or whatever it was.

2538
02:08:10,920 --> 02:08:11,680
Speaker 3: For a touchdown.

2539
02:08:11,720 --> 02:08:15,640
Speaker 4: You don't get to adjust to anything right eighty seven yards.

2540
02:08:15,680 --> 02:08:19,640
Speaker 4: So you there's that. But I think that's been part

2541
02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:22,280
Speaker 4: of the conversation today. I got I like the two

2542
02:08:22,320 --> 02:08:26,440
Speaker 4: coordinators they've got, Bobby Babbage and Joe Brady, but they

2543
02:08:26,440 --> 02:08:28,400
Speaker 4: need to come into the game with a little bit

2544
02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:32,440
Speaker 4: more for their players, more production. They gotta have more

2545
02:08:32,440 --> 02:08:34,600
Speaker 4: for their players. They've got to be better earlier on

2546
02:08:34,640 --> 02:08:39,120
Speaker 4: and whatever that is, find out what's holding them back,

2547
02:08:39,880 --> 02:08:43,160
Speaker 4: fix it and get a faster start because the adjustment

2548
02:08:43,240 --> 02:08:44,600
Speaker 4: packages have been great.

2549
02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to Peter in Massachusetts. What's up, Peter?

2550
02:08:49,320 --> 02:08:50,440
Speaker 5: Oh, hey, guys, how you doing?

2551
02:08:50,440 --> 02:08:51,120
Speaker 8: Its good?

2552
02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:53,160
Speaker 24: Okay? I got like three points.

2553
02:08:53,200 --> 02:08:54,040
Speaker 9: I'd like to make sure.

2554
02:08:54,240 --> 02:09:00,240
Speaker 24: Okay. So one, I'm infuriated about the James Cook play

2555
02:09:00,360 --> 02:09:05,800
Speaker 24: and the dolphin killed dlphin catch he made on the

2556
02:09:06,440 --> 02:09:08,480
Speaker 24: you know, amazing catch he made on the sideline that

2557
02:09:08,520 --> 02:09:11,560
Speaker 24: we did not challenge those, but we're saving the time outs.

2558
02:09:11,560 --> 02:09:14,200
Speaker 24: There's only two of good up at the place we

2559
02:09:14,320 --> 02:09:16,600
Speaker 24: made out of maybe six the whole game lead any

2560
02:09:16,680 --> 02:09:19,240
Speaker 24: challenge and we let those go away at point one

2561
02:09:19,320 --> 02:09:22,800
Speaker 24: point two Churis Samuels four three, one speed. Why can't

2562
02:09:22,840 --> 02:09:24,880
Speaker 24: we get them the ball? All we do is one out.

2563
02:09:25,320 --> 02:09:28,320
Speaker 24: Franken screen passes right. You know he should be able

2564
02:09:28,360 --> 02:09:30,720
Speaker 24: to get separation, which treats me. The point number three

2565
02:09:31,520 --> 02:09:33,400
Speaker 24: is a lack of talent or.

2566
02:09:33,400 --> 02:09:34,400
Speaker 8: Is it Brady?

2567
02:09:34,840 --> 02:09:38,800
Speaker 24: You know ny Reid would scheme someone up. You know

2568
02:09:38,840 --> 02:09:41,960
Speaker 24: it doesn't you know? So I don't understand why we're

2569
02:09:41,960 --> 02:09:43,200
Speaker 24: four of eighteen.

2570
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:46,840
Speaker 8: The receivers right with the targets. I think your opinions, Yeah,

2571
02:09:46,920 --> 02:09:48,800
Speaker 8: I get a holiday, my man.

2572
02:09:49,240 --> 02:09:52,360
Speaker 2: No, you're right. I would say with respect to the

2573
02:09:52,440 --> 02:09:55,440
Speaker 2: challenges Peter, there's a reason they didn't challenge either one.

2574
02:09:56,000 --> 02:09:59,840
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott has guys upstairs looking at the replays, even

2575
02:09:59,840 --> 02:10:01,960
Speaker 2: had as a former NFL official.

2576
02:10:01,880 --> 02:10:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, John Perry, John Perry, and who's.

2577
02:10:04,800 --> 02:10:08,440
Speaker 2: Charged with doing just that. And what we eventually saw

2578
02:10:08,920 --> 02:10:11,760
Speaker 2: on the Cook replay, and he made a tremendous catch

2579
02:10:11,800 --> 02:10:15,600
Speaker 2: down the sideline despite tight coverage, was his elbow came

2580
02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:17,320
Speaker 2: down out of bounds. If he gets one foot in

2581
02:10:17,360 --> 02:10:20,240
Speaker 2: an elbow in bounds, it is a good catch and

2582
02:10:20,280 --> 02:10:22,480
Speaker 2: you should challenge. But it was clear his elbow hit

2583
02:10:22,520 --> 02:10:26,960
Speaker 2: the sideline. And then on the Kincaid catch, they ruled

2584
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:29,760
Speaker 2: it incomplete because they said he was bobbling the ball

2585
02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:32,560
Speaker 2: and didn't secure it. And while I disagreed with what

2586
02:10:32,600 --> 02:10:34,680
Speaker 2: the referee said, the reason it was not going to

2587
02:10:34,720 --> 02:10:37,120
Speaker 2: be overturned was because the ball made contact with the

2588
02:10:37,160 --> 02:10:40,440
Speaker 2: ground and as soon as that happens, there's no way

2589
02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:43,800
Speaker 2: they're overturning what's called an incomplete pass. So hopefully that

2590
02:10:43,880 --> 02:10:46,360
Speaker 2: explains that you want to address Samuel downfield. It does

2591
02:10:46,400 --> 02:10:48,520
Speaker 2: make sense. He's four, he runs a four to three.

2592
02:10:48,800 --> 02:10:50,840
Speaker 2: He hasn't run a route over ten yards all season.

2593
02:10:51,400 --> 02:10:52,880
Speaker 4: I'd like to see him take the lid off the

2594
02:10:52,920 --> 02:10:55,320
Speaker 4: defense once in a while. With Samuel, no question about it.

2595
02:10:55,320 --> 02:10:57,600
Speaker 4: I haven't been real happy with the way Josh has

2596
02:10:57,600 --> 02:10:59,480
Speaker 4: tried to hit his deep balls. He's missed a ton

2597
02:10:59,520 --> 02:11:02,960
Speaker 4: of them that were open and just not being able

2598
02:11:02,960 --> 02:11:05,360
Speaker 4: to put the ball on the guy. Whether it's been

2599
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:07,800
Speaker 4: a guy getting hitting him while he was delivering it

2600
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:10,760
Speaker 4: or just not putting enough air under it.

2601
02:11:12,080 --> 02:11:14,760
Speaker 3: That he's just hasn't been good yet. They have not connected.

2602
02:11:14,880 --> 02:11:19,920
Speaker 4: And it's taken a great catch by Keon Coleman to

2603
02:11:19,960 --> 02:11:22,400
Speaker 4: get a deep ball down the sideline.

2604
02:11:23,000 --> 02:11:23,360
Speaker 11: You know that.

2605
02:11:23,560 --> 02:11:27,160
Speaker 4: And Hollin's last yesterday was wide open. He was four

2606
02:11:27,240 --> 02:11:29,000
Speaker 4: yards behind everybody and they miss.

2607
02:11:29,600 --> 02:11:32,680
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just scaling and early in the season.

2608
02:11:32,840 --> 02:11:35,680
Speaker 4: I just that is the that's infuriating to me that

2609
02:11:35,800 --> 02:11:37,000
Speaker 4: you gotta hit those.

2610
02:11:37,280 --> 02:11:38,040
Speaker 3: You got to hit those.

2611
02:11:38,040 --> 02:11:40,080
Speaker 4: You got an elite quarterback. He's got to make that throw.

2612
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:42,560
Speaker 4: And I know he's you could see after they showed

2613
02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:45,000
Speaker 4: the replay he's down on got his hands on both knees,

2614
02:11:45,080 --> 02:11:48,920
Speaker 4: bent over looking at the ground. He's so ticked and

2615
02:11:48,960 --> 02:11:51,520
Speaker 4: he should have been. It was a touchdown. And in

2616
02:11:51,600 --> 02:11:53,080
Speaker 4: a game he lost by three points.

2617
02:11:54,360 --> 02:11:56,520
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, got some time for some

2618
02:11:56,560 --> 02:11:58,560
Speaker 2: final calls when we get back here on one Bill's

2619
02:11:58,560 --> 02:12:17,200
Speaker 2: Live on a Buffalo Football Monday, Stay tuned. This week's

2620
02:12:17,240 --> 02:12:20,240
Speaker 2: efficient Drive of the game is presented by National Grid,

2621
02:12:20,240 --> 02:12:22,760
Speaker 2: a proud partner of the Buffalo Bills. Came in the

2622
02:12:22,760 --> 02:12:26,320
Speaker 2: third quarter six plays, seventy yards to twenty seven off

2623
02:12:26,360 --> 02:12:30,080
Speaker 2: the clock and camp by a five yard touchdown run

2624
02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:32,840
Speaker 2: from James Cook, who got a little bit of assistance

2625
02:12:33,200 --> 02:12:38,560
Speaker 2: on a second effort shove by mainly Spencer Brown and

2626
02:12:38,720 --> 02:12:41,520
Speaker 2: Connor McGovern, and then Osiris Torrance got in there on

2627
02:12:41,560 --> 02:12:45,280
Speaker 2: the act as well to finally put the ball in

2628
02:12:45,320 --> 02:12:47,880
Speaker 2: the end zone there in the third quarter after scoring

2629
02:12:47,880 --> 02:12:51,360
Speaker 2: only three points in the first half. Let's get back

2630
02:12:51,360 --> 02:12:55,120
Speaker 2: to the phones and we'll squeeze in Eric in Tanawanda here.

2631
02:12:55,160 --> 02:12:55,760
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

2632
02:12:55,880 --> 02:13:00,280
Speaker 5: Eric, Well, my.

2633
02:13:00,280 --> 02:13:04,880
Speaker 25: Concern is receiver. I mean, the drops are tremendous. Yesterday

2634
02:13:05,280 --> 02:13:07,960
Speaker 25: I went to the game. I could hardly sit through it.

2635
02:13:08,040 --> 02:13:08,760
Speaker 25: The first half.

2636
02:13:09,440 --> 02:13:10,120
Speaker 11: It was brutal.

2637
02:13:12,200 --> 02:13:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I get it. I don't think Josh,

2638
02:13:18,400 --> 02:13:21,040
Speaker 2: what about a Key Perry from New Orleans?

2639
02:13:21,080 --> 02:13:25,360
Speaker 25: I mean he's a young talented receiver who's not being used.

2640
02:13:25,440 --> 02:13:28,800
Speaker 25: He's on the practice squad. Now why not grab him?

2641
02:13:28,960 --> 02:13:29,760
Speaker 24: He's low risk.

2642
02:13:30,680 --> 02:13:33,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand what you're saying. You want to incorporate

2643
02:13:34,040 --> 02:13:36,040
Speaker 2: him into the offense. That's going to take some time.

2644
02:13:36,120 --> 02:13:38,880
Speaker 2: We know it's a voluminous offense to boot. And then

2645
02:13:38,920 --> 02:13:41,440
Speaker 2: on top of that, the way Joe Brady operates, it's

2646
02:13:41,480 --> 02:13:48,840
Speaker 2: to learn every position at the receiver spot x Z slot,

2647
02:13:49,080 --> 02:13:52,520
Speaker 2: So you got to know all the rules and that

2648
02:13:52,640 --> 02:13:54,920
Speaker 2: takes time. So to do that just to get a

2649
02:13:54,960 --> 02:13:58,800
Speaker 2: guy in here that is low risk, and I mean,

2650
02:13:58,840 --> 02:14:00,600
Speaker 2: you're expecting him to go boot, I don't know if

2651
02:14:00,600 --> 02:14:02,280
Speaker 2: I would count on that. There's a reason he's on

2652
02:14:02,320 --> 02:14:02,919
Speaker 2: a practice.

2653
02:14:02,720 --> 02:14:04,360
Speaker 4: It would take him and the guy might be great,

2654
02:14:05,040 --> 02:14:06,840
Speaker 4: but it's going to take him innute to get him ready.

2655
02:14:07,560 --> 02:14:09,120
Speaker 3: So he's not gonna be ready this week. If even

2656
02:14:09,120 --> 02:14:09,600
Speaker 3: if you got.

2657
02:14:09,520 --> 02:14:15,160
Speaker 4: Him today, Yeah, I'm I I'll reiterate what I said.

2658
02:14:15,280 --> 02:14:18,600
Speaker 4: I don't necessarily agree with Eric. Better players make you better,

2659
02:14:18,680 --> 02:14:21,560
Speaker 4: no question, but you've got you've got to have. You know,

2660
02:14:21,560 --> 02:14:23,080
Speaker 4: what's it gonna take to get him here? And what's

2661
02:14:23,280 --> 02:14:25,600
Speaker 4: one are the long term ramvocations And I have not

2662
02:14:25,680 --> 02:14:29,680
Speaker 4: given up on this group. I want khalilsha Kir is

2663
02:14:29,760 --> 02:14:32,040
Speaker 4: important to this offense. He was not there yesterday and

2664
02:14:32,040 --> 02:14:33,000
Speaker 4: I think it made a big difference.

2665
02:14:33,120 --> 02:14:35,520
Speaker 2: Highest catch right player in the league ninety four point

2666
02:14:35,560 --> 02:14:38,720
Speaker 2: seven makes a difference. That's it for us today. We'll

2667
02:14:38,760 --> 02:14:41,160
Speaker 2: catch you tomorrow at one. We'll have dan Orlowski from

2668
02:14:41,400 --> 02:14:43,560
